It never rains but it pours—misfortunes never come singly. And now there is a sensation for Nevada City to indulge in. It is reported on the street that you, the City Trustees and City Marshal, have been cited to appear before the Grand Jury at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning for some cause not known as yet, as it seems the secret has not been let out.

HERE IS CONSIDERABLE TALK about a new railroad being constructed between Nevada-and Yuba counties, and that preparations are under headway at San Francisco for the project. The whole matter was pub lished in the TRANSCRIPT about two weeks ago, and nothing in addition to that has transpired since that time. As stated by the TRANSCRIPT the surveys are being gone over in San Francisco and no field work is contemplated this winter. The surveyors accomplished all that was expected a short time prior to the publication of the TRANSCRIPT’s article. As emphatically stated at that time, the information having been obtained from reliable authority, the new railroad will be built. #4444444 4484 A Valuable Gift. USTOMAH LODGE, I. O. O. F., at their meeting last evening took action on their proposed offer to donate to the public free library the large and vatuable collection of books in their library, and the Odd Fellows unanimously voted the trustees authority to turn them over to the new institution as soon as it is established. As was announced in the TRANSCRIPT several days ago, the only proviso made by the donor is that im case the public library should ever go out of existence the ownership of the books should Tevert back to Oustomah Lodge. There is not much likelihood, however, that the proposed free library will ever be allowed to collapse, after it is once well established and the people realize more forcibly the great advantages and benefits of such.a desirable institution. AlreadPBfteen hundred dollars have been assured by the public for the furtherment of the enterprise, and it is likely that the amount will be increased a considerable sum before the final contribution is made. The generous donations of cash by the pub lic and the valuable collection of books given will give Nevada City a public library that they can be proud of. The library given by the Odd Fellows consists of 2500 vol. umes and is valued at $2000. Itis indeed a magnifient addition to the proposed new library,and the generosity of Oustomah Lodge and other contributors is greatly appreciated by the general public. : eee A Fatal Affray. .

Thus showing that a dastardly and cowardly murder had been committed. day of the principal parts of the skeleton of Joseph Griffiths. . entered the stomach or very close to it. After washing the clothes of the deDr. E. Jamieson of Grass Valley made a minute examination. yesterCoroner Daniela had previously boiled the frame fh a strong cleansing solution, which left every part of the bones perfectly clean: and free for inspection. The examination proved that the bullet entered almost on a line with the navel, ranging somewhat to the right of the spinal column. The bullet which. caused the death of Griffiths It was evidently fired by an undersized person or one in a kneeling position, or else while Griffiths was sitting or lying upon the ground, The bullet taken from the vertebra was of 44 calibre. The clothing worn by Griffiths at the time of bis death are pow in the hands of Coroner Daniels, and will be thoroughly cleaned, when it is thought that the exact entrance of the bullet may be defined. ° According to the opinion of medical men it would bave been a physical impossibility for one man to have carried the body of Griffith to the shaft and thrown it in, as Griffiths weighed about 180 pounds. : Word was received yesterday of the arrest in San Francisco of Mrs. Allen and “Dickie” Bennetts, and Sheriff Getchell left this morping to get the prisoners and bring them back, when they will be brought before the Grand Jury to explain what they krow concerning the murder, and the disposttion of the body. It is rumored that a charge of adultery ‘will be preferred against the pair, as they are both married. Bennetts wife left him some time ago for another man. The San Franeisco Post of yesterday says: Detective Koss Whittaker and Officer James McGowan arrested Richard Bennett and locked him up 1n the City Prison tanks. The woman bas been stopping at a roadside house in Oakland for several daye with Bennett. The authorities of Grass Valley learning that Bennett had a sum of money coming to bim at the Risdon had left for Grass Valley. Later ivformation conveyed the news that she was placed under arrest by the authorities at San Jose. Sheriff Getchell ie in San Francisco and he will proceed to San Jose and bring her to this city. ‘Tbe Grand Jury convened at ten ocieck this morning and a few witnessess were before that body and examined in reference to the Griffiths case. There is but little talk on the street asto the doings of the Grand Jury. It is generally understood that the circumstances attending the death of Griffiths are being investigated, and the public does not appear to be interested as to other matters. Handsome Nuggel.

After washing the clothes of the deDr. E. Jamieson of Grass Valley made a minute examination. yesterCoroner Daniela had previously boiled the frame fh a strong cleansing solution, which left every part of the bones perfectly clean: and free for inspection. The examination proved that the bullet entered almost on a line with the navel, ranging somewhat to the right of the spinal column. The bullet which. caused the death of Griffiths It was evidently fired by an undersized person or one in a kneeling position, or else while Griffiths was sitting or lying upon the ground, The bullet taken from the vertebra was of 44 calibre. The clothing worn by Griffiths at the time of bis death are pow in the hands of Coroner Daniels, and will be thoroughly cleaned, when it is thought that the exact entrance of the bullet may be defined. ° According to the opinion of medical men it would bave been a physical impossibility for one man to have carried the body of Griffith to the shaft and thrown it in, as Griffiths weighed about 180 pounds. : Word was received yesterday of the arrest in San Francisco of Mrs. Allen and “Dickie” Bennetts, and Sheriff Getchell left this morping to get the prisoners and bring them back, when they will be brought before the Grand Jury to explain what they krow concerning the murder, and the disposttion of the body.
