Judge Walling yesterday morning sentenced James Melarkey, the murderer of George Dougherty, to imprisonment in-the State Prison at San Quentin for the term of his natural life. Before coing so he asked the young man if he had anything to-say as to why. such sentence should not be pronounced, and the reply was, “Nothing.”? When his honor had coneluded his remarks, which were very brief, Melerkey thanked him. The Judge replied that he did not know that the prisoner was under obtigations to him and expressed the opinion that the trial had been a fair one. Melirkey was then returned to the iron tank in which he has been kept since his Conviction.

Yesterday forenoon Richard Harris, a young man employed at the Pit!sburg mine, was loading some tools on a car at the mouth of the i:.cline shaft, when owing to‘the smoothness of the es the Paris Exposition, WM. BUEL FRANKLIN, Representative of. the United States to ’ Hon. Wm, Buel Franklin, who was recently appointed by President Cleveland*to represent the United States at the Paris Exposition in 1880, was born in York, Pennsylvanii, on the 27th of February, 1823. He entered the Military Academy at West Point in June, 1839, and was graduated at the head of his class in 1843. Among the members of his class was Ulysses S. Grant. He was assigned to the corps of topographical engineers and served until the outbreak of the civil war, being attached to the staff of General Taylor us a topographical engineer during the Mexican war. From September, ’48, to January, 1852, he was acting assistant professor of natural and experimental philosophy at West-Point Military Academy, and from eanuary to April, 1852, he was professor of engineering and natural and experimental phildsophy at the New York Free Academy, now College of New York. At the beginning of the late civil war he was stationed in Washington in charge of the construction of the Capitol, the Treasury Department and the General.Post-office. He was appointed Colonel of the Twelfth Infantry in May, 1861, Brigadier General of Volunteers in May 17th, 1861, and Major General of Volunteers July 4th, 1862.

General Burnside complained that Franklin did not obey his orders in this battle, and removed him for insubordination, The failure of the President to approve the order of the remoyal led to Burnside’s resignation of his command, Franklin returned to active service on August 15th, 1863, and was assigned to the Nineteenth Army Corps.

ChamberROBERT TOLMIE. The Piano Virtuoso and His Proposed Concert Tour. A San Francisco paper announces that during the month of November next Robert Tolmie, the eminent piano virtuoso, will give a series of subscription concerts in tnat city, Sacramento, Sin Jose, Los Angeles and “perhaps one or two other of the interior towns of tha State.” There are in this city and at Grass Valley a number of people who have more or less knowledge of the gentleman’s attuinments, and by some of them it is believed ‘that if he would consent to uppear in either town a sufficient guurantes could be obtained from the combined music-loving element of the two places to warrant him in giving at least one concert. Mr. Tolmie unquestionably ovcupies today the position of being the most brilliant piano player and the most successful instructor on that instrument who has made California a home. He sprang from a family prominent for their musical attainments. When not more than’ twelve years of age he developed talents of an order that won for his performances the plaudits of the foremost Eastern critics. While yet a lad in years he had secured the best instruction tobe had in America, and was sent to Berlin where fora long time he studied under the leading misters. During the last four years abroad his preceptor was the celebrated Dr, Kullak, who instructed him in the art of teaching as well as in playing. In 1880 he returned to America and ‘settling in Buffalo, New York, met with phenomenal success as ateacher. But the constant and hurd labor finally” proved too much for him, and in 1886 he came to Callifornia for a brief stay in the hope of regaining his health. Shortly after his arrival in San Francisco he was prevailed upon to give a private recital ut the home of Mrs. Frank Pixley. He forthwith became “the talk of the town.” His health beginning _ to mend shortly after this, he concluded to employ the few weeks he intended to’ retain on the coast, by teaching. The list of those seeking tutelage from him grew rapidly, and before he was scarcely aware of it he had as large and lucrative a patronage as he had left in the East. Before a year had expired he concluded that there was no better field than this in which to upply—himeself;-and—therefore abandone. all ideas of returning to the land of blizzards beyond the Rockies. His time is now fuily employed, among his pupils being many from remote parts of the State who are temporarily sojourning in San Francisco for the purpose of bene fitting by his services. . Nota few of tue students are themselves well-known and popular. teachers, as he makes a specialty of ‘‘teaching how to teach.” He has had pupils from this and adjoining counties, and they are not the least enthusiastic among those ‘lovers of artistic piano-playing who are desirous of having him come this side of Sacramento when on his proposed concert tour, HERE AND THERE. A Brief Record of Various Matters of _-Local Interest. Seats in the gallery will be reserved at the Democratic county convention to be held in the Theater tomorrow. Remember that the stores conducted by Hebrew citizens will be closed from six o’clock this evening till six o’clock tomorrow evening. Superintendent Richards ‘of the Centennial mine will get but $1,250 on his lottery ticket, instead of $2,500. It calls for a twentieth of the $25,000 prize. ; Major General Carnahan will not visit Mountain Division, U. k. K. of P., at this city, according to the latest reports which state that he will go directly east from the State of Nevada. The preliminary examination of Hicks went over again till last evening owing to the non-appearance of a boy named-Mahar who was with the accused till late the night of the burglary, and is wanted as a witness. : The Grass Vulley Tidings of Tnesday and Wednesday evenings had not arrived here up to a late hour yesterday afternoon.

Set -f ation, : a SLIGHTLY WARM. ; ee A Base Libel on Our Fair but Frail : Capital City. The Sacramento correspondent of the San Francisco Post having been ‘compelled to pay for his board and lodging in advance when he went to the capital city to write up the State Fair, gets even by this kind of writing: Sacramento, Sept. 11, 1888. Awfully hot. : Fearfully, dreadfully, foully hot. Torturingly,terrifyingly, sweat bath, perspiringly hot. : Ill-smellingly singuingly, sem piternally, sufferingly hot. : Hot? hotter than Tombstone. So hot that even the dogs sweat, and the dripping perspitation from men and horses does away with the necessity for watering carts. : Half the people in the city have had their-shces ruined by being constantly soaked with the perspiration that drips into them. One hundred and five -in the shade is almost a meaningless phrase, for it conveys no idea of the awful heat in which this unfortunate town is seething. The railroad track is swollen all out of shape by the heat, and wheei tires, stretched by the temperature, keep up a constant rattle as they fall off the hacks and other vehicles, and go jangling on. the cobblestones. Hot! Why, it’s hotter than a cook’s temper @t dinner time ; hutter than the speech of Dennis Kearney; hotter than the rage of Sarah Althea Terry; hotter than the hottest chile that ever scorched a Mexican’s throat; hotter than boiling oil or melted lead, so hot that your clothes shrivel up on your back, horses’ hoofs curl and emoke and their tails burn in the sun, and life isa dreadful torture to human _beings. Even the editor of the Record-Union admits that it is rather warm, and when the Record-Union man will make an admission so damaging to ‘‘the fair fame of our beautiful city,” one can partly guess how hot itis. Everywhere people are suffering from the heat, and since the authorities had the water turned off at the fountains and public drinking places to force the people to patronize the lemonade and iced drink men, the complaints have been almost heartrending. z Three dollars a night is the lowest price for which even a cot in a hall is to let, and if you ring the bell and demand ice water, the servant will transfix you with a stony glare and point haughitily at a soup-like mixture in the jug with the remark, ‘‘Theie’s water.”’” Theair is so heavy with the vaporous exhalations from the soil that one suffers from a depressing sensation unknown in the dryer parts of the state and which brings on a feeling of debility that makes life almost unendurable: Coats and vests are almost unknown. garments in Sacramento now, while palm leaf fans and umbrellas are indispensable adjuncts toevery street toilet. Any kind of movement is painful, and even the unclad faro dealers handle the cards in a languorous way and with the help of iced drinks can barely keep their places at the tables for an hour. A Grass Valley Boy's Act. The Marysville Democrat of Tuesday evening says: Neil Kelley, 14 years old, took strychnine this morning at Tom Stafford’s ranch in Sutter county, and died, at 12:50.in Yuba Uity in the most fearful convulsions. Young Kelley was an orphan who was taken out of the Grass Valley asylum by @has. Donohue, and taken to his ranch near Live Oak. About amonth ago he ran away and took up his residence with Tom Stafford, He wasengaged laying strychnine to poison rats this morning, and having a sore throat, . -thought he would try a little of it to cure him, which he did. Soon after he was found in convulsions and brought to Yuba City, where one fit of convulsions followed another, finally dying in the most fearful agony. His sister, who lives with Mrs. Wilkins at Wheatland, was telegraphed for. A gentleman, who was with him before he dicd, said that after recovering from one fit of convulsions he talked rationally and said he took the poison to ecare the folks. 8 Superior Court. The following business was transcted in the Superior Court, yesterday, Judge J. M Walling presiding: Executors estate of Phil. Richards, deceased, vs. Travelers Insurance Co. Motion for non-suit denied, Third day of trial, The People vs. James Melarkey,. Defendant sentenced to imprisonment for life in the State Prison at San Quentin, : ER nS ee Men and Women’s Bones. — Joints and muscles may escape’ the agonizing tortures of rheumatism if they will but ‘‘take time by the forelock,” and annihilate the symptoms of oncoming trouble with the benignant and highly sanctioned blood depurent and alterative, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Poisons mostly constitute the ordinary means of battling with this atrocious complaint, Avoid the risk of using these by resorting to the sale as well as effectual anti-phogistic and preventive. After exposure to damp, through drafts and other causes which encourage a rheumatic tendency, a wine glass full of the Bitters prevents ill effects, No surer preventive of malarial ailments like fever and ague, bilious, remittent, dumb ague cake exists, arid it is, besides, a most genial recuperator of strength exhausted by excessive mental or physical effort. FOR KIDNAPING. Spies. At ten o’clock yesterday morning the five cases of W. H. Lee, George H. Sternes and Charles Worthington, anti-mining spies charged with kidnaping Chinamen accused of contempt of hydraulic mining injunctions, came up in Justice Sowden’s court for preliminary hearing. District Attorney Long appeared for the prosecution and C.: W. Kitts for Messrs. Lee and Sternes ( Worthington not having been arrested yet) who were present. The only spectators were seven Chinamen, most of whom were witnesses for the people, a Transcript reporter and three other white men who had dropped in out of curiosity: It was agreed to take up the cases seriatim, in the order that the complaints were ‘filed. That wherein Sternes is charged with. having kidnaped Ah Men from Scott’s Flat on the 5th of last April and unlawfully smuggling him off to the Yuba county jail, was first called. Ah Men was put on the witness stand. He testified through Tin Loy, the interpreter, that he was aged 33 years, and that for a living he followed mining and such other employment as he could get, He said that on April 5th he was mining at Scoit’s Flat by the rocker process. When the evidence had progressed this far the District Attorney! moved for a«continuance till one o’clock P. m., saying he had not had an opportunity to post himself in the case, and claiming that if he could get an opportunity to interview the witnesses privately he could get out the testimony much more expeditiously and thus savé time to the Court. He thought also that by afternoon either Mr. Cross or Mr. Simonds, special counsel for the Chinamen, would be through with a case they were trying in the Superior Court and could give attention to this.one with which they were fully conversant. Mr. Kitts opposed the continuance, saying the cases were very simple and needed no special preparation. He admitted that the defendant would not deny capturing the Chinaman, but would set up as justification that it was a legal arrest: His honor granted the motion and the court took a recess. At the afternoon session Mr. Simonds joined the District Attorney in the prosecution. The examination of Ah Men was-continued. He testified that Sternes and Worthington broke into a cabin occupied by himself and other Chinamen, and without serving any papers on them carried them by force to Marysville. 8, Storey and W. H. Lee were also called as witnesses for the prosecution to testify on miner points. The defendant was then put on the stand in his own behalf. The case was still being argued at the close of the afternoon session. Another Dodger Caucht. The Messenger says that Bert Benninger, who has hada band of sheep on Canyon creek, Sierra county; during the summer, a portion of which was seized a few «lays ago because the tax was not paid, came in Monday nd paid thie tax and costs and expenses, amounting to $146, of which $51 was the license tax, and $95 was cost and fine. All that is expected of this five centslicep tax is that it will pay the damage, in part, caused by the sheep to roads and trails. This itis the intention of the Board of Supervisors OFFICIAL SALARIES. Them All. Eprror Transcriet: The Press may well be considered the sentry on the watch-tower, to guard the interest of the People and warn them of approaching danger. T have always found your columns open for that purpose, irrespective of party considerations. In your publication of my letter in your paper of the 9th instant, the attention of the taxpayers of Nevada county was directed to the exorbitant and unreasonable salaries of some of the county officers, viz : Sheriff, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Assessor, District Attorney, Public Administrator and Superintendent of Public Schools. f Since the publication of said letter the people irrespective of party endorse the reduction of salaries ; but the inquiry has been frequently made why areduction in the salaries of County Clerk and County Recorder is not aleo proposed, Therefore I take the present opportunity to say to the people, it is because those offices are self sustaining. Therefore the salaries of the County Clerk and County Recorder are in accord with the provision af the State Constitution contained in section the said offivers are in proportion to the duties-performed, at least the salary of each is not in excess of the fees paid into the County Treasury as evidenced by the fees paid during the last fiscal year: Some years they may fall a little short, but last year they were largely in excess of the salary in said cases. The fees paid into. the County Treasury for the last fiscal year by said officers were: Fees paid by County Clerk, $3,807.03; fees paid by County Recorder, $5,758.30. But said offices are the only selfsustaining offices in Nevada county. Contrast this with the fees paid in by the Sheriff with his high salary: Salary, $7,000; fees paid in, $1,092.48. Of course the Sheriff performs some considerable services in criminal cases, but does any person suppose the criminal business performed is so large in excess of the duties performed in civil business as to amount in the aggregate forduties performed in criminal business and in civil business to the sum of $7,000? This demonstrates beyond cavil that the salary of the Sheriff is-teo high and should be greatly reduced. . For the reason before stated, neither the salary of the County Clerk or County Recorder should be reduced, because the fees paid into the County Treasury by each. of them has been in excess of salary. Joun I. CaLpwe.u. aeiplieianeens Democratic Candidates.

A Damage Suit Growine Out of the Kneebone Murder. ee Albert Moore, by his attorneys, Messrs. Dibble and Kitts, has begun suit in the Superior Court. against Joseph Kneebone, Sr.; a farmer residing near Spenceville, to recover the sum of $5,145 damages for illegal arrest and imprisonment. Defendant is the father of Joseph Kneebone, Jr., the teamster, who was in June last mysteriously murdered while traveling along, the road’a short distance this side of Spenceville. Moore was at the time arrested on suspicion of having been a party to the crime, ard his preliminary examination then held resulted in his being honorably discharged. On August 8th he was re-arrested on a complaint sworn out by Joseph’ Kneebone, Sr., the latter being urged on to this step by an alleged detective by the name of Bohen. On August 15th, 16th and 17th thesecond examination took plece and Moore was held to answer before the Superior Court. A writ of habeas .corpus was sued out and Judge Walling revi>wed the testimony taken in the justice court. He found, according .to the complaint in the damage suit now brought, “‘that there were no grounds upon which to base a reasonable be5 ofarticle XI., viz: the salaries for {Hef or probability of the guilt of the plaintiff of the charge of murder ‘so preferred against him by the defendant.” Therefore on August © 20th Moore was by:order of Judge Walling dismissed from custody. The complaint goes on to say: ‘Said charge and the arrest. of the plaintiff thereunder were extensively published in several public newspapers, among others the Dairy Transcrirt and Daily Herald, published at Nevada City, Nevada county, Cal.; the Daily Union and Tidings, published at Grass Valley, Cal.; and the San Francisco Chronicle and the Daily Examiner, published at the city of San Francisco, Cal.; all being newspapera of general-and extensive circulation, as the plaintiff believes, through the procurement of defendant. That by means of the premises, the plaintiff was injured in hia person and prevented from attending to his business, and paid $100 costs and counsel fees in defending himself.

Judge Walling yesterday morning sentenced James Melarkey, the murderer of George Dougherty, to imprisonment in-the State Prison at San Quentin for the term of his natural life. Before coing so he asked the young man if he had anything to-say as to why. such sentence should not be pronounced, and the reply was, “Nothing.”? When his honor had coneluded his remarks, which were very brief, Melerkey thanked him. The Judge replied that he did not know that the prisoner was under obtigations to him and expressed the opinion that the trial had been a fair one.

BUEL FRANKLIN, Representative of. the United States to ’ Hon. Wm, Buel Franklin, who was recently appointed by President Cleveland*to represent the United States at the Paris Exposition in 1880, was born in York, Pennsylvanii, on the 27th of February, 1823. He entered the Military Academy at West Point in June, 1839, and was graduated at the head of his class in 1843. Among the members of his class was Ulysses S. Grant. He was assigned to the corps of topographical engineers and served until the outbreak of the civil war, being attached to the staff of General Taylor us a topographical engineer during the Mexican war. From September, ’48, to January, 1852, he was acting assistant professor of natural and experimental philosophy at West-Point Military Academy, and from eanuary to April, 1852, he was professor of engineering and natural and experimental phildsophy at the New York Free Academy, now College of New York. At the beginning of the late civil war he was stationed in Washington in charge of the construction of the Capitol, the Treasury Department and the General.Post-office. He was appointed Colonel of the Twelfth Infantry in May, 1861, Brigadier General of Volunteers in May 17th, 1861, and Major General of Volunteers July 4th, 1862. He received the brevet of Brigadier General in the regular army on June 30th, 1862, for his gallant conduct in the battles before Richmond, and. of Major General, March 18th, 1865, for services during the rebellion.

General Burnside complained that Franklin did not obey his orders in this battle, and removed him for insubordination, The failure of the President to approve the order of the remoyal led to Burnside’s resignation of his command, Franklin returned to active service on August 15th, 1863, and was assigned to the Nineteenth Army Corps.

ChamberROBERT TOLMIE. The Piano Virtuoso and His Proposed Concert Tour. A San Francisco paper announces that during the month of November next Robert Tolmie, the eminent piano virtuoso, will give a series of subscription concerts in tnat city, Sacramento, Sin Jose, Los Angeles and “perhaps one or two other of the interior towns of tha State.” There are in this city and at Grass Valley a number of people who have more or less knowledge of the gentleman’s attuinments, and by some of them it is believed ‘that if he would consent to uppear in either town a sufficient guurantes could be obtained from the combined music-loving element of the two places to warrant him in giving at least one concert. Mr. Tolmie unquestionably ovcupies today the position of being the most brilliant piano player and the most successful instructor on that instrument who has made California a home. He sprang from a family prominent for their musical attainments. When not more than’ twelve years of age he developed talents of an order that won for his performances the plaudits of the foremost Eastern critics. While yet a lad in years he had secured the best instruction tobe had in America, and was sent to Berlin where fora long time he studied under the leading misters. During the last four years abroad his preceptor was the celebrated Dr, Kullak, who instructed him in the art of teaching as well as in playing. In 1880 he returned to America and ‘settling in Buffalo, New York, met with phenomenal success as ateacher. But the constant and hurd labor finally” proved too much for him, and in 1886 he came to Callifornia for a brief stay in the hope of regaining his health. Shortly after his arrival in San Francisco he was prevailed upon to give a private recital ut the home of Mrs. Frank Pixley. He forthwith became “the talk of the town.” His health beginning _ to mend shortly after this, he concluded to employ the few weeks he intended to’ retain on the coast, by teaching. The list of those seeking tutelage from him grew rapidly, and before he was scarcely aware of it he had as large and lucrative a patronage as he had left in the East. Before a year had expired he concluded that there was no better field than this in which to upply—himeself;-and—therefore abandone. all ideas of returning to the land of blizzards beyond the Rockies. His time is now fuily employed, among his pupils being many from remote parts of the State who are temporarily sojourning in San Francisco for the purpose of bene fitting by his services. . Nota few of tue students are themselves well-known and popular. teachers, as he makes a specialty of ‘‘teaching how to teach.” He has had pupils from this and adjoining counties, and they are not the least enthusiastic among those ‘lovers of artistic piano-playing who are desirous of having him come this side of Sacramento when on his proposed concert tour, HERE AND THERE.

Set -f ation, : a SLIGHTLY WARM. ; ee A Base Libel on Our Fair but Frail : Capital City. The Sacramento correspondent of the San Francisco Post having been ‘compelled to pay for his board and lodging in advance when he went to the capital city to write up the State Fair, gets even by this kind of writing: Sacramento, Sept. 11, 1888. Awfully hot. : Fearfully, dreadfully, foully hot. Torturingly,terrifyingly, sweat bath, perspiringly hot. : Ill-smellingly singuingly, sem piternally, sufferingly hot. : Hot? hotter than Tombstone. So hot that even the dogs sweat, and the dripping perspitation from men and horses does away with the necessity for watering carts. : Half the people in the city have had their-shces ruined by being constantly soaked with the perspiration that drips into them. One hundred and five -in the shade is almost a meaningless phrase, for it conveys no idea of the awful heat in which this unfortunate town is seething. The railroad track is swollen all out of shape by the heat, and wheei tires, stretched by the temperature, keep up a constant rattle as they fall off the hacks and other vehicles, and go jangling on. the cobblestones. Hot! Why, it’s hotter than a cook’s temper @t dinner time ; hutter than the speech of Dennis Kearney; hotter than the rage of Sarah Althea Terry; hotter than the hottest chile that ever scorched a Mexican’s throat; hotter than boiling oil or melted lead, so hot that your clothes shrivel up on your back, horses’ hoofs curl and emoke and their tails burn in the sun, and life isa dreadful torture to human _beings. Even the editor of the Record-Union admits that it is rather warm, and when the Record-Union man will make an admission so damaging to ‘‘the fair fame of our beautiful city,” one can partly guess how hot itis. Everywhere people are suffering from the heat, and since the authorities had the water turned off at the fountains and public drinking places to force the people to patronize the lemonade and iced drink men, the complaints have been almost heartrending. z Three dollars a night is the lowest price for which even a cot in a hall is to let, and if you ring the bell and demand ice water, the servant will transfix you with a stony glare and point haughitily at a soup-like mixture in the jug with the remark, ‘‘Theie’s water.”’” Theair is so heavy with the vaporous exhalations from the soil that one suffers from a depressing sensation unknown in the dryer parts of the state and which brings on a feeling of debility that makes life almost unendurable: Coats and vests are almost unknown. garments in Sacramento now, while palm leaf fans and umbrellas are indispensable adjuncts toevery street toilet. Any kind of movement is painful, and even the unclad faro dealers handle the cards in a languorous way and with the help of iced drinks can barely keep their places at the tables for an hour. A Grass Valley Boy's Act. The Marysville Democrat of Tuesday evening says: Neil Kelley, 14 years old, took strychnine this morning at Tom Stafford’s ranch in Sutter county, and died, at 12:50.in Yuba Uity in the most fearful convulsions. Young Kelley was an orphan who was taken out of the Grass Valley asylum by @has. Donohue, and taken to his ranch near Live Oak. About amonth ago he ran away and took up his residence with Tom Stafford, He wasengaged laying strychnine to poison rats this morning, and having a sore throat, . -thought he would try a little of it to cure him, which he did. Soon after he was found in convulsions and brought to Yuba City, where one fit of convulsions followed another, finally dying in the most fearful agony. His sister, who lives with Mrs. Wilkins at Wheatland, was telegraphed for. A gentleman, who was with him before he dicd, said that after recovering from one fit of convulsions he talked rationally and said he took the poison to ecare the folks. 8 Superior Court.

The following business was transcted in the Superior Court, yesterday, Judge J. M Walling presiding: Executors estate of Phil. Richards, deceased, vs. Travelers Insurance Co. Motion for non-suit denied, Third day of trial, The People vs. James Melarkey,. Defendant sentenced to imprisonment for life in the State Prison at San Quentin, : ER nS ee Men and Women’s Bones. — Joints and muscles may escape’ the agonizing tortures of rheumatism if they will but ‘‘take time by the forelock,” and annihilate the symptoms of oncoming trouble with the benignant and highly sanctioned blood depurent and alterative, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Poisons mostly constitute the ordinary means of battling with this atrocious complaint, Avoid the risk of using these by resorting to the sale as well as effectual anti-phogistic and preventive. After exposure to damp, through drafts and other causes which encourage a rheumatic tendency, a wine glass full of the Bitters prevents ill effects, No surer preventive of malarial ailments like fever and ague, bilious, remittent, dumb ague cake exists, arid it is, besides, a most genial recuperator of strength exhausted by excessive mental or physical effort. FOR KIDNAPING. Spies. At ten o’clock yesterday morning the five cases of W. H. Lee, George H. Sternes and Charles Worthington, anti-mining spies charged with kidnaping Chinamen accused of contempt of hydraulic mining injunctions, came up in Justice Sowden’s court for preliminary hearing. District Attorney Long appeared for the prosecution and C.: W. Kitts for Messrs. Lee and Sternes ( Worthington not having been arrested yet) who were present. The only spectators were seven Chinamen, most of whom were witnesses for the people, a Transcript reporter and three other white men who had dropped in out of curiosity: It was agreed to take up the cases seriatim, in the order that the complaints were ‘filed. That wherein Sternes is charged with. having kidnaped Ah Men from Scott’s Flat on the 5th of last April and unlawfully smuggling him off to the Yuba county jail, was first called. Ah Men was put on the witness stand. He testified through Tin Loy, the interpreter, that he was aged 33 years, and that for a living he followed mining and such other employment as he could get, He said that on April 5th he was mining at Scoit’s Flat by the rocker process. When the evidence had progressed this far the District Attorney! moved for a«continuance till one o’clock P. m., saying he had not had an opportunity to post himself in the case, and claiming that if he could get an opportunity to interview the witnesses privately he could get out the testimony much more expeditiously and thus savé time to the Court. He thought also that by afternoon either Mr. Cross or Mr. Simonds, special counsel for the Chinamen, would be through with a case they were trying in the Superior Court and could give attention to this.one with which they were fully conversant. Mr. Kitts opposed the continuance, saying the cases were very simple and needed no special preparation. He admitted that the defendant would not deny capturing the Chinaman, but would set up as justification that it was a legal arrest: His honor granted the motion and the court took a recess. At the afternoon session Mr. Simonds joined the District Attorney in the prosecution. The examination of Ah Men was-continued. He testified that Sternes and Worthington broke into a cabin occupied by himself and other Chinamen, and without serving any papers on them carried them by force to Marysville. 8, Storey and W. H. Lee were also called as witnesses for the prosecution to testify on miner points. The defendant was then put on the stand in his own behalf. The case was still being argued at the close of the afternoon session. Another Dodger Caucht. The Messenger says that Bert Benninger, who has hada band of sheep on Canyon creek, Sierra county; during the summer, a portion of which was seized a few «lays ago because the tax was not paid, came in Monday nd paid thie tax and costs and expenses, amounting to $146, of which $51 was the license tax, and $95 was cost and fine. All that is expected of this five centslicep tax is that it will pay the damage, in part, caused by the sheep to roads and trails. This itis the intention of the Board of Supervisors OFFICIAL SALARIES. Them All. Eprror Transcriet: The Press may well be considered the sentry on the watch-tower, to guard the interest of the People and warn them of approaching danger. T have always found your columns open for that purpose, irrespective of party considerations. In your publication of my letter in your paper of the 9th instant, the attention of the taxpayers of Nevada county was directed to the exorbitant and unreasonable salaries of some of the county officers, viz : Sheriff, Treasurer, Tax Collector, Assessor, District Attorney, Public Administrator and Superintendent of Public Schools. f Since the publication of said letter the people irrespective of party endorse the reduction of salaries ; but the inquiry has been frequently made why areduction in the salaries of County Clerk and County Recorder is not aleo proposed, Therefore I take the present opportunity to say to the people, it is because those offices are self sustaining. Therefore the salaries of the County Clerk and County Recorder are in accord with the provision af the State Constitution contained in section the said offivers are in proportion to the duties-performed, at least the salary of each is not in excess of the fees paid into the County Treasury as evidenced by the fees paid during the last fiscal year: Some years they may fall a little short, but last year they were largely in excess of the salary in said cases. The fees paid into. the County Treasury for the last fiscal year by said officers were: Fees paid by County Clerk, $3,807.03; fees paid by County Recorder, $5,758.30. But said offices are the only selfsustaining offices in Nevada county. Contrast this with the fees paid in by the Sheriff with his high salary: Salary, $7,000; fees paid in, $1,092.48. Of course the Sheriff performs some considerable services in criminal cases, but does any person suppose the criminal business performed is so large in excess of the duties performed in civil business as to amount in the aggregate forduties performed in criminal business and in civil business to the sum of $7,000? This demonstrates beyond cavil that the salary of the Sheriff is-teo high and should be greatly reduced. . For the reason before stated, neither the salary of the County Clerk or County Recorder should be reduced, because the fees paid into the County Treasury by each. of them has been in excess of salary.

A Damage Suit Growine Out of the Kneebone Murder. ee Albert Moore, by his attorneys, Messrs. Dibble and Kitts, has begun suit in the Superior Court. against Joseph Kneebone, Sr.; a farmer residing near Spenceville, to recover the sum of $5,145 damages for illegal arrest and imprisonment. Defendant is the father of Joseph Kneebone, Jr., the teamster, who was in June last mysteriously murdered while traveling along, the road’a short distance this side of Spenceville. Moore was at the time arrested on suspicion of having been a party to the crime, ard his preliminary examination then held resulted in his being honorably discharged. On August 8th he was re-arrested on a complaint sworn out by Joseph’ Kneebone, Sr., the latter being urged on to this step by an alleged detective by the name of Bohen. On August 15th, 16th and 17th thesecond examination took plece and Moore was held to answer before the Superior Court. A writ of habeas .corpus was sued out and Judge Walling revi>wed the testimony taken in the justice court. He found, according .to the complaint in the damage suit now brought, “‘that there were no grounds upon which to base a reasonable be5 ofarticle XI., viz: the salaries for {Hef or probability of the guilt of the plaintiff of the charge of murder ‘so preferred against him by the defendant.” Therefore on August © 20th Moore was by:order of Judge Walling dismissed from custody. The complaint goes on to say: ‘Said charge and the arrest. of the plaintiff thereunder were extensively published in several public newspapers, among others the Dairy Transcrirt and Daily Herald, published at Nevada City, Nevada county, Cal.; the Daily Union and Tidings, published at Grass Valley, Cal.; and the San Francisco Chronicle and the Daily Examiner, published at the city of San Francisco, Cal.; all being newspapera of general-and extensive circulation, as the plaintiff believes, through the procurement of defendant. That by means of the premises, the plaintiff was injured in hia person and prevented from attending to his business, and paid $100 costs and counsel fees in defending himself.
