TS, the ct good te. most mp vin: es, I Ex or RE es nd on yie le-= @@0° tee ye ee ee > The Daily Transcript. TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1889. eee _ Whe June Overiand. The Overland Monthly for June is out. Besides its notable leading articles on the Yuma Indians and Prof. Cushing’s explorations among the buried Indian cities of the Southwest, it contains an able paper on Irrigation, from the side of the anti-riparians, by John Bonner, and anotherin favor of division of the State from Dr. Widney, and a brief account of Samuel Brannan by John S. Hittell. ‘Tom’s Wife,” by F. L, Clarke, is a pretty story of the great Potrero fire at the Union Iron Works (the works where the Charleston was built,) in which so many $f the employes suffered ; ‘‘How Jones came to join the Church’’ is one of Colonel Tassin’s readable stories of the western coast; Henry S. Broeks has a story of La Paz, Lower California, and C. W. Chesnutt one of a negro conjurer, both very characteristic and amusing. Several unusually fresh and pleasing poems, a sketch of camping and travel on tbe piains, and critical reviews of Tostoi’s philosophical books, Prof. Agassiz’s volumes on the scientific cruises of the Blake, and Dr. Willey’s on the remarkable pioneer college of California, with an editorial review of the work ot the last . legislature, complete the number. That Bad Mail Arrangemen:. Postmaster Clark has received positive instructions from headquarters to send mail for San Francisco and other points beyond Sacramento only on the train. leaving this city at 10:45 in the morning. San Francisco mail so sent reaches its destination at 7:45 the _same evening. ~ Mails for Sacramento and the east leave here at 11:45 o’clock in the evening. In other words, Sacramento and intermediate stations are the only places to which mail from this city goes twice a day. = San Francisco mail arrives here only in the morning. Mail ‘from Sacramento and inter-mediate points comes twice.a day. Eastern mail comes in the aftérnoon. A Promising Mine. John: Curry is engaged in running a 500-foot drain tunnel to connect with an 80-foot shaft which he sank two years ago at his quartz claim on Rush Creek. He has.a splendid prospect in both shaft and tunnel, the main ledge being two feet thick and of good quality. Two years ago Mr. Curry took out about $3,000 and previous to the time he owned it the claim was mede to yield some $20,000 by ground-sluicing. That has always been noted asarich mining locality, and the chances are that Mr. Curry has a permanent producer. Mistakem Identity. Captain Brazier, the new Salvation Army officer at Grass Valley, bears such astriking resemblance to Editor Tom Hocking of the Tidings as+to be freyuently mistaken for that gentleman. As Mr. Hocking is not a religiousman, the complications that arise from. the likeness of the two men can better be imagined than described. The Derbec. The Derbec drift mine has never looked better than it does right now. ‘ Superintendent Galavotti is one of the best managers anywhere, and all work under his supervision is done to the very best advantage. About 120 men are regularly employed in and about . the mine. A Feast Fer the Veterans. The ladies of the Grand Army are arranging to treat the veterans of Chattunooga Post to a fine collation on Memorial Day. It will be served at headquarters (Odd Fellows Hall) immediately after the Post’s return from the cemeteries. A Hard Dig at Watson. Truckee Republican of Saturday: ‘*No Grass Valley or Nevada City papers were received here today.

Dan McFaull Severely scorched by Electric Fire. Last Wednesday night Dan McFaull, a well known young man from this city who isemployed by the Electric Light and Motor Company of Virginia City,narrowly escaped death from an electric shock in the dynamo chamber on the Sutro tunnel level of the Chollar incline where the duxiliary power for operating the Névada mill is generated. The victim was unwinding the slack ofan insulated wire hung over a nail attached to an incandescent light and was almost instantly knocked un conscious by a shock and remained in that condition for fifteen minutes. His fellow employes heard him exclaim faintly “I’m gone,” and saw him prostrate on the floor.of the chamber. A danger signal was immediately rung and a cage was sent down with men on the deck to ascertain what was wrong. The fellow employes of McFaull failed to detect the slighest pulsation of . his heart and the face pressed against his mouth felt no fanning breath. Ice water was precipitated on his person, but failed to revive the apparently extinguished. vital spark, and he was about to be given up for dead when J. Connelly, on whose arm the stricken] man was reclining, gently tapped his body in the region of the heart when the patient disclosed signs of life. After regaining consciousness he was taken to the surface and Dr. Harris summoned, who found the palm of the right hand, in which the patient grasped the wire,severely scorched by. the electric fire and emitting @ strong odor of burning flesh. The electric current passed downward through the right side of the-victim’s body, leaving no mark in its course except where it left the foot,the toes of which are black from the scorching heat of the electric fluid. ; Dr. Harris says the patient is not seriously injured, but considers his escape from death remarkable. McFau!l gives the following account of the sensations produced by the almost fatal electric shock prior to his becoming unconscious, which; in view of the fact that such meansof executing criminals condemned to suffer capital punishment will probably be universally adopted, will be of interest : After grasping the wire he was immediately drawn upward with. irresistible force and endeavored to shout for aid, but although Mr. Connelly was but three feet distant from him his voice was not audible. Although suspended by his hands with his toes: resting on the boiler plate floor for scarcely a second, Faull says it appeared to him that he was in that posiHe felt no pain whatever, This is the last he remembers until restored to consciousness. He was then seized with nausea of the stomach-suelras usually follows fainting attacks. The eause of the shock being communicatedsto, McFaull is atfributed to the wearing-away of the insulation from the cepper wire at the point where it hung over the nail, Me¥Faull’s hand coming in contact with that part of the bare wire. U. 8. Land Laws. By an act of Congress passed March 2, 1889, the following rules are to govern the public lands of the United States: 1. No’ other form of acquiring said land shall be known except by homestead right to 160 acres or less. 2. Pre-emption claimants may have their entries changed to homesteads and act accoidingly. 3. In case of railroad land, where claims have been luid on eighty acres, instead of 160, another eighty adjoining may be added to the claim. 4. Persons who have proved up, and got patent.to eighty acres, can take eighty more, adjoining, if they can find it—if they are still the owners of the original eighty. S Prolific Potatoes. H. D. Towle has some last year’s potatoes that can be classed among freaks. They were kept in a warm and dry place. They did not sprout to any great extent, but what they did do was to have a bran new and solid potatoe grow inside of each of them, and when it had grown as large as the parent potatoe it has invariably bursted its way through the side of the latter and kept on growing. The Printers Treated Again. J. 8. Holbrooke on Monday afternoon disturbed the monotony of the proceedings in the Transcript office by treating the typos to ice cream and cake. Mr. Holbrooke makes ice cream of the finest and richest quality, and will supply it regularly to his Ppatrons while the heated term lasts, _ RR aoe Ran i RS Beecuam’s Piizs cure bilious and nervous ills.

The fire started in Bennett’s hotel in the lower portion of the town, and a south wind was blowing, but after a long tussle with the flames they were subdued with buckets of water. The damage was about $200.

The services at the Methodist Church on Sunday morning were very interesting. The members of Chattanooga Post, the Ladies of the G. A. R., and Company ‘‘C” (Nevada Light Guard) turned out in goodly numbers. The auditorium of the church was tastefully decorated. On the wall back of the pulpit was stretched the Chattanooga Post banner, and underneath it were the words, ‘‘Welcome G. A. R.,’? made of evergreens. Covering the windows alongside were two large American flags. All around the pulpit were huge bouquets of flowers, and the preacher while performing his part of the program appeared to be in a veritable garden. As the organizations entered the church and_ until they were seated Goyrie’s orchestra played a national air. The ladies and gentlemen composing the Methodist choir under the leadership of John Werry rendered the vocal music in a manner which reflected great credit upon each and every one of them. It was the common remark after the services that they excelled themselves. The sermon by Mr. Angwin, which was not intended as a memorial sermon, was a masterly effort. Before he commenced his sermon he paid a glowing tribute to the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, those present and those departed, and-also favorably: commented upon the fine appearance of the militiamen present. of the sermon would do it justice. A more patriotic, logical and interesting sermon was never preached within the walls of the Methodist Church. EE Chicanery at Work.

EXyimman & Co.. eat Francisn Ompsiton Slores, Nevada City and Srass Valley, ——HAVE OPENED A—— Merchant ‘Tailoring House IN GRASS VALLEY, And Have the Largest First-Class . Establishment ver Opened in Nevada County, We-would not be ashamed to Ro into the largest city in the United States . and show our stock and work. e also warn the people of. Ne county not to be humbugged by drummers, who come up from the city with a line of samples, and who spend their money freely from one saloon to another, dress up to kill and tell you what great bargains they can give you in tailormade clothing, as they get a big commission from the house they represent, and you are the ones that have to ‘pay for all that. Merchant Tailoring is a business in which a man must be a first-class tailor in order torun it successfully. oe L, Hyman, of the firm of Li. Hyman & Company, is a practical tailor himself, and has worked throughout the largest cities in England and in the ia States, and has had charge of different establishments during that time. We have papers to show in white and black the different first-class tailoring establishments he had been foreman over, which fact goes to prove that he understands his business perfectly. We will also say tothe people of Nevada.county that when you ‘give your measure to a drummer for a suit you doit at your own risk. e takes your measure and sends your order tothe hcuse he represents, and they send your suit to you C. O. D. : This drummer, who takes your measure, generally travels for three or four houses, representing merchant tailoring, grote furnishing and other merchandise houses—each house paying him a big commission for orders. Now, when a San Francisco house receives an order for a suit, we would like to ask the people of Nevada county how that cutter can tell how the person is built whom-the order 1s for. Some men may walk ht, some may walk with the head down, some may have one shoulder lower than the other, and still others may ‘have round shoulders and different waists. Now, with all these faults that we have mentioned, how can that cutter in Sen Francisco remedy them? He never saw you and don’t know how you are built. It make no difference how good a cutter he may be or what he gets,he cannot make a perfect fit unless he sees you and takes your measure himeelf, and sees how you are built. But instead of this he takes the measure just as the drummer sends it to him in from the country, and so he cannot remedy the faults before mentioned. These drummers are not tailors, and they do not understand taking measures. Merchant tailoring is a business a man must thoroughly understand before hé startsintoit. It isnot he who wears the garment that makes it fit,but the tailor that makes it. A garment may be m and fit, but still the work may not be in it. There is not one man in ten that can tell when a garment is made up, what kind of work is in it, unless he is a first-class tailor. Since we have opened our merchant tailoring establishment in Grass Valley we have opened it in a first-class manner, employing nothing but first-clas cutters, coat, pants and vest makers. ‘ f These mechanics we had to get: from first-class tailoring establishments ir San Francisco, and guarantee them work all the year round before they could te induced tocome to Grass Valley. : This class of mechanics is very hard to get for the reason that there is always plenty of work in San Francisco all the year round without coming to gooey mech d hem good ey are mechanics and we pay them good wages. ‘ When you have a suit made in our Grass Valle wcelabtisheseat you are treated different here than in any other tailoring establishments on the Pacific Coast,and can yaks be get a suit made here from $5 to $10 cheaper than in any other house on the Pacific Coast, for these reasons: In the first place werent a store occupying two floors, each 75 feet long, and our tailorin workshops connecting with the building is 30 feet long. A store like this in San Francisco on Market or Kearny street would command a rental of from $1,500 to $2,000 r month. We don’t pay this rent, so our customers have the benfit of it. ut instead of this we have a lease for a long term of years at per month ; and another reason is that we don’t pay any commission to immers, an these are the reasons why we can make you a suit so much cheaper than any other merchant tailoring establishment on the Pacific Coast. And when you . have a suit made in our establishment you will see that it: will always re mains in shape and never gets out of shape like those made in other shops. We will guarantee a perfect fit and good work or nosale. And no suit will be sent €. 0. D. We give youa chance to try on the garment and see that it is satisfactory, and if it is not, send it back to us at our expense, But when you have a suit made in San Francisco it comes C, O. D., and you have to take jt, fit or no fit. But if you patronize home you always have something to fall back on.
