A Large Discrepancy in
the Books
BLACKMAN WILL NOT TALK
EXPERTS AT WORK ON THE L. A.
ELECTRIC CO.'S BOOKS
The Fidelity Trust Company Desires
to Withdraw From Blackman's
Bond

William r. Blackman, the secretary
trio company, who was suddenly re-
moved from office last Saturday because
of large discrepancy which is alleged
to have been discovered in his accounts,
was found by reporter at his home at
1858 Lovelace avenue yesterday after
noon.
| Mr.. Blackman was asked If he would
make statement as to the imputations
| that have been laid at his door.
Il am not in a position" he replied,
'to make any statement until I know
how matters stand. That is all I have
to say"
A prominent official of the Electric
company was also seen. He stated that
at present very little could be said in re-
gard to the amount of the defalcation.
"There has been a defalcatior," he
said, "and it is large one, but until the
work of exporting the books is completed
it will be impossible to approximate our
loss.
1.-THE condition of Mr.. Blackman's ac-
counts was only learned Saturday morn
Ing. On becoming Secretary-treaSurer Or
the company, he had given bond in the
Fidelity Trust company. On Saturday
they telegraphed their agent here,
Louis Vetter, that they wished to with
| draw at once. The matter was prompt
ly brought before the directors of the
company, who had been called to attend
a special meeting. A brief investigation
Of the accounts was made which showed
that they were in bad shape, and Mr..
Blackman was summarily let out"
Mr.. Blackman's friends maintain that
neither he nor they can say anything
about the matter until they know what
is the amount, If any, that is in question.
Experts are now at work on the COM
| pany's books, but the result of their in
vestigations may not be known for some
| daYs.

Simpson Tabernacle

Simpson tabernacle was we'll filled
yesterday morning when the pastor, DR..
Mclean, spoke from st. Mark ii.:5-
''Son, thy sins be forgiven thee" Jesus
stopped in the midst of one of his mar
velous sermons to heal this man who
had been presented to him, and not only
did He heal him of his physical malady,
but He healed his soul of the malady of
sin. The all-important fact in this text
is that sin exists and needs to be for
given, more than the body needs to be
| healed.
/ There are those who preach that by
| prayer the body may be healed; broken
| limbs may be mended in the same way
| in few moments. Do you ask If I be-
| lieve this? I say no. Men who have
preached this gospel for the salvation
of souls successfully have been led
astray by this doctrine of faith cure for
the healing of diseases of the body.
Prayers have been inspired when
made for the healing Of friends, but that
does not lead to the conclusion this will
always result, or should do so. We have
instances in the Bible that men have
called on God by prayer in great faith
| as Moses did, but these prayers were
not answered because their requests
were not in accordance with Gods will
Because one has an infirmity, as blind
| ness, or dumbness, or deafness, it does
not follow that they are under Gods
condemnation and are going on through
life with this because of Gods displeas-
ure.
Were you ever in a position that you
thought your actions impoverished God
and you were brought to feel that you
were as nothing in this great universe?
Young man, young woman, be sure your
| sin will find you out. But if you forsake
them and turn to God His grace will
ever be sufficient for you in all the ills
and temptations of life.
The great cry of distress in the coun-
| try today is we need more money to
| make men happy. 1t is not more money
we need, but more Christ and more
righteousness mingled through all the
conditions of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, state
and municipal-and through all the av-
enues of business and labor, and all the
associa atoms of man with man. AS sin
and selfiShness are eliminated from the
human race, love and happiness will
predominant, and the Christ of this gos-
pei will rule and reign in the hearts of
men

Statistics

According to the Mineral Industry the
copper production of California in 1896
was 197,54 pounds of fine copper. The
production was almost entirely from the
property of the Mountain Copper con-
pany, which Is the successor of the
Mountain Mines, Ltd, on Iron Mountain
near Shasta, and owned by an English
syndicate. The production of gold in
this state as given for 1896 is 37036 fine
ounces, or $15,235,90o as against 1S,140
fine ounces in 1895, valued at $1,615, 300.
An increase in the United States of the
production of gold from SAG, $50, 200 in 1895
to $52, 1856 209 in 1896 was shown, the gain
being attributable especially to Alaska,
California and Colorado, although
nearly every state showed an increase.
In 1896 5S,4SS,S1O ounces of silver were
produced, an increase over last year of
12,157,565 ounces, last years figures be-
ing 46, 3S1, ,235 ounces.
The lead production for the union in
short tons (2OO0 pounds) was 1852, or
about 346 1884, 900 pounds During the
year ending June 80, 1897, there were
coined 21,2O3,701 silver dollars at the

ARBITRATION
CITY COUNCIL WILL TACKLE
WATER QUESTION AGAIN
An Interesting Session Anticipated.
Speculation as to the Arbitra-
ton Board

A session of exceptional interest is ex-
pected in the city council chamber this
morning, for the report of the water cup
ply committee is certain to be document
that will demand the attention of the
public and probably inspire the elo-
quence of some councilmen.
Speculation is, of course, rife as to the
personnel of the board Of arbitration
which is believed to be the inevitable and
only possible adjustment of the question
1t Is generally conceded that City En-
gineer Dockweiler will be the city's rep
resentative on the board and that Will
lam Mulholland, the superintendent Of
the City Water company, will be sec.
ond member of the board. The names Ct
Fred Eaton and Henry Hawgood are
mentioned as the most available candl-
dates for the third and necessarily mos
important position. The matter will
probably come to definite focus today

PHILOSOPHICAL LECTURE
Brahmacharin Bodhabhikshu on the
Basis of Brotherhood

Brahmacharin Bodhabhikshu on the
Basis of Brotherhood
The cry Of brotherhood is heard on all
sides. Christian or non-Christian, So
cialist or non-Socialist, said the Brah-
macharin Bodhabhikshu, the Hindoo
Theosophist, yesterday. All are mad
after it. But what does it mean? And
why should we be brothers? Does It
mean that all human beings must have
equal wealth or equal rights in every
thing? Such thing is an impossibility,
because 1t is unnatural. Nature means
variety; she does not know monotony.
Brotherhood means unity in variety,
and not in uniformity. 1t recognizes
identity Of every one in essence, but not
in manifestation. Therefore it breaches
equality of love towards all and readi-
ness to equally help all 1t means, in
short, thorough and complete unselfish-
ness.
And we should be brothers. because we
are the outcome Of one and the same
cause, the manifestation of one and the
same force. The universe is piece of
music solidified, literally, and not fig
uratively. 1t comes out of what the
Bible calls the word, the one keynote
which evolves all the rest. And the
universe being music, there Is harmony.
Therefore we must live harmoniously
as parts of a whole, and not for the in
dividual self. That is to say, we must
love all, be brotherly to all, and work
for all

ROBBED A PREACHER
A BURGLAR RANSACKS THE RES
IDENCE OF REV. BALL
Lit the Gas in the Rooms and Went
About His Work Very Coolly.
Did Not Get Much

Burglars entered the house OF the
Rev. ]. w. Ball, pastor of the English
Lutheran church, located at 718 West
Eighth street. last night some time be-
tween and $3.50 o'clock while the fam
lily was attending services. The house
was thoroughly ransacked, but all that
was secured was $1S0 in money, a gold
glove button hook and watch charm.
The burglar had evidently gone about
his work very coolly, as the gas had
been lit in several rooms to en-
able him to do his work very thoroughly.
Mr.. Ball lives in the parsonage,
just next to the church. He left the
house at about 1880 with his wife and
Miss Rosa Snyder, who is visiting the
family, and returned at 8:45. They
noticed the lights in the house on coming
out Of church, and hurried home to see
what was the matter.
The burglar had evidently effected an
entrance through one of the windows.
Once inside, he had gone through the
rooms one by one. In Miss Snyder room
all the drawers in the cheffonnier had
been pulled out and sacked of their
contents which had been piled in a heap
upon the floor. The burglar had then
gone upstairs, and things here were
also turned topsy-turvy. The money
which had been secured had been found
in small amounts in three different
places. One room had not been gone
through, which indicated that the thief
had been scared away on hearing the
congregation disperse before finishing
his work.
The case was reported to the police,
and Detective Goodman is at work on it,
Thus far no clue to the burglar has been
obtained.

MINES AND MINERS
,oooooooooooooo oooooocoo<

The excitement and rush for the Klon-
dyke mines seems in no way abated and
is only limited by want of facilities and
the difficulty of getting there, says K. g.
ogden in the Examiner. The numbers
already gone have greatly overtaxed the
means of transportation available, as at
last accounts the accumulation OF
freight and supplies at Juneau and st.
Michaels was greatly in excess of any
possible means of its reaching Its des-
tination the present season.
1t follows, as a matter of course, that
great suffering and distress will result
in this state of things, as it Is but the be-
ginning Of the trouble, as thus far the
rush continues apparently with no heed
to the warnings that have been pointed
out of the difficulties that are before the
seekers of fortunes in such an inhospita-
BILE country and where there is such an
absence of resources to sustain life.
California has experienced several Of
these excitements, many of which re-
suited in great loss of time and money
to the victims who sold their home
eteads and made sacrifices in their wild
desire to reach the heralded Ell Dorado.
1t is risky business, and especially to
leave good situations in these dull times
when such are difficult to obtain; better
'let well alone" and wait until 1t has
been demonstrated that there is room for
more and until a more favorable sea-
son and avoid the expense of long win
ter of idleness. Again. new routes to
the Klondyke will doubtless be discov-
cred, less difficult and expensive. The
enterprise and ingenuity Of the Yankee
miner will overcome present obstacles
and simplify the methods of reaching the
objective points, and it will be wise to
wait until reliable information is re-
ceived as to the condition of things on
the spot.

covery of new and rich ore bodies in
the Mollie Gibson; the Gregory Bobtail
and the Argentum-Juanta all old mines
with records of the past. The Mollie
Gibson has not paid dividends for two

courage belief in the permanency of Col
orado mines. The Gregory Bobtail is
the oldest lode claim in the state.
