4OO-Pound Jewish Caught In the
Vicinity of Catalina.

Vicinity of Catalina.
The anglers who are rusticating in the
mountains are. from all accounts, enjoy
ing excellent sport
According to letter from Boca the
Truckee River is yet too high for good fly
fishing, but, as previously stated in The
CALL, this grand trout stream will be in
splendid trim for good whipping about
the middle of August.
The trout of the San Andreas Lake
have arrived at the very wise conclusion
that the spoon bait is fraud of the worst
kind, and now the largest catches are
made by anglers who use shrimp and
worms.
The San Francisco Rod and Gun Club
Will hold its next banquet at Ill O'Farrell

Mr.. Morgan of the Ell Bonita Hotel,
Duncans Mills, writes that black bass

since the season opened. Some large
striped bass have been caught recently,
ana the prospects for good fishing In Au-

John Mcdonald of Boca gave his friends

young lady, whom ne introduced to his

welfare and success.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
The Appropriation too Small for the
BettermentS,

Contractor Carroll has forwarded
his bid on the betterments on the gov
eminent building, but he believes that
it will exceed the balance of the ap-
preparation remaining. The better
ments consist of marble flooring in
the lobby and marble wainscotting.
The wainscotting, of dark Italian
marble. would cost S. per lineal foot
more than the hardwood; and the
flooring, of gray Vermont and pink
Tennessee marble, would cost SO cents
a square foot more. The total differ
ence would be from 81, 400 to 81, 800
The foundation for the hardwood
floor, already in, would have to be
torn up, and the cost of the flooring,
already purchased, would have to be
charged in, so Contractor Carroll
states, although the government does
not want to do this.
The marble flooring would be much
preferable to the wood, and would
consist of slabs ten by twenty feet.
Twenty-Five men are now at work
in the building, pushing on the work
to completion, which is expected to be
accomplished in about month, as
only the finishing touches remain to
be done. The postoffice screen, shut
ting the lobby off from the working
space, is in place, and the woodwork
on the first floor will be completed
this week. The plastering of the sec
ond floor will also be completed this
week.

THE WADSWORTH STORY.
The Romantic Tale was Over=drawn
i'm Some Particulars.

The Minneapolis Journal recently
published romantic story in connec-
tion with the trial of Marcus Wads-
worth, at Bismark, n. D., in effect,
that preacher, years ago was alleged
to have committed murder near Man
kato, and was tried for murder; that
WadSworth was one Of the Jurors:
that he held out for disagreement,
aud that the alleged murderer finally
escaped punishment that the daugh-
ter of the Minnesota murderer now
lives at Bismark, n. D.: that her hus-
band was one of the jurors in the
Wadsworth case; and that four of her
personal friends were also on the
same jury.
An examination of the records, says
dispatch to the same paper from
Madelia, shows that Rev. Andrew j.
Davis, Baptist clergyman, in 1879
was accused of an attempt to COM
nit murder. His daughter, Mrs
Wentworth, now resides in Bismark,
n. D., and with her husband, has had
good deal to do with the Wadsworth
case.
Mr.. Davis was indicted in Novem-
Der, 1879, and was tried before Judge
Dickinson The case attracted great
attention, both on account of the
high standing of the accused and the
prosecuting witness, and also on
account of the eminent legal talent
engaged on the trial. The state was
represented by John J. Thornton, now
of ST. James; Judge Severance, now
of Mankato; Justice Buck, now of the
supreme court; and W. G. Jones, now
attorney general of the state of Wash
ington, The defendant had as coun-
sci @. FL. Benton, of Minneapolis; j.
w. Seager, of ST. James; w. FL. Johns
ton, of st. Paul; and f. L. James,
now of Plpestone. After trial of
considerable length, Mr.. Davis was
acquitted. Wadsworth was member
of the grand jury that indicted Mr..
Davis.
1t seems that the story as published,
romantic as it was, was not entirely
according 80 the records.

MANKATO MAN DRUGGED.
He Lies in the Minneapolis City
Hospital.


Tuesdays Minneapolis Tribune con-
tairfS an account Of man, alleged to
have come from this city but whose
name is not given, being taken last
night to the Central police station APP
pare1tly under the influence of drug.
DR.. Irwin pronounced the condition
of the man critical and ordered his i'm
mediate removal to the city hospital
At late hour he was slightly re-
covered, and the opinion was expressed
that he would probably recover.
1t was later stated at the hospital
that the man was thought to be more
intoxicated than was first supposed.
He was not sufficiently conscious TO
tell his name, or the, circumstances
leading to his sudden illness. He is
known to have come to the city on a
visit, stopping with friends at Main
street and First avenue northeast.
The disappearance of some of his
money is also unexplained. He was
found in house of i'll repute on
Main street southeast, and the
mistress asserted that he had
entered the house at 800 p. m.,
and sat on chair for several minutes,
when he arose and walked into an
other room, where he Jay on the sofa,
falling to sleep.

CITY FINANCES.
Is the City Getting Into Deeper Water,
Financially?

Is the City Getting Into Deeper Water,
Financially?
A glance at the condition of the
city treasury is always in order, and
never more so than at the opening of
spring, when the flood of petitions for
public improvements begins to come
in on the council.
The city now has floating loan of
1874, 300, including the 81 800 authorized
to be borrowed by the action of the
council Saturday night. This is nearly
all drawing eight per cent interest.
Add to this about $4,000 required to
conduct the city government until
July 1st, aud 81, 1900 interest on bonds,
and So, 100 due on the road roller in
June, and there is on the debit side
$40, 800.
There will be received from the
March settlement with the county
treasurer $4,000, and from the June
settlement $4,000, and about July lst
$4,000 from liquor licenses. This
gives $1,000 on the credit side, or a
balance of So, 500 to carry on the gov
eminent for the ensuing nine months.
But gentleman who is thoroughly
acquainted with the condition OF the
city finances states that after all the
receipts are in, in July, there will still
be deficiency of $4,000, as against
$4,000 last July, leaving the city S.
900 worse off than it was at that time
In our figures above, we have only
taken into account the necessary eX-
penses, for which appropriation is
made by the charter. The expendl-
lures for new work, etc, is expected
to account for the deficiency, SO far as
we can learn. In any event, it will be

II. w. BROWN APPOINTED.

City Recorder Smith Wednesday
appointed III. W. Brown deputy re-
corder, subject to confirmation by
the council, and deputy clerk of the
municipal court, with the approval of
Judge Shissler. There is thought to
be little doubt but that the council
will confirm the appointment. Mr..
Smith will continue to do as much of
the work as he is able to, and Mr.
Brown will do the remainder Mr..
Smith intimates today that he may
possibly tender his resignation later,
perhaps at the next council meeting,
but his friends consider this matter
of doubt.

AS snowf1akes in the north winds blast
When scribbling ceased with heavy sigh

He stretched himself for new supply
Of wind, then with long-drawn cry,
Screams to his devil, lean ndpale,
Take to the setter without fail,
''The Long and Short Fellow"
The setter took his pipe of clay
From out his mouth without delay,
And on the floor he smashed his pipe
In his wild haste to set in type,

But in the morn the town was wild
In hardware stores the people filed
Petitions; all of personal right,
BY buying weapons for to fight

A thing the people have not met,
And now they grieve because they fail
In their attempting to assail,

the London Times has the follow
ing: "Of the five colonies of the
continent of Australia, there is
only one which has not this year
moved in the direction of greater
freedom of trade; new shipping
facilities have quite lately been
arranged between Glasgow and
Australia; the relatively new lines
of steamers which run between
Australia and Vancouver, and be-
tween Vancouver and japan, have
also been found of late to be in
sufficient for the trade of which
they are the vehicles, and the ex-
pected decision in favor of the
construction of the Pacific cable
is likely to be followed by an i'm
mediate addition to the number of
steamers employed upon both
lines"

sacrifice of the privileges of self
government, and thereby present
an object lesson to the natives of
the advantages of political union
which will influence them over

elaborated at an early day.
