~Nevada Cit > 7 ) Daily Transcript. VOL. LXVI-=NO. 10164 weiss NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY BVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1893. Established Sept. 6, 1860, by N. P; Brown & Co. BROKEN FAITH. * The Valleyites Are Proving Themselves to Be Scalawags. The anti-dobris papers have recently de= voted an amount ef their more or less valuable space te a rehearsal of the history of the anti-debris.share in recent congressional legislation;,and some way they seem to find it necessary to do a deal of explaining. The delegates who, were sent on to Washingten from the River Improvement Convention in 1892 were expressly instructed to work in conjunction with>the delegates from the Miners’ Convention. : 1t is well known that they totably failed to carry out their inhtructiens, and' that, on the contrary, they bitterly antagonized the Miners’ Committee at every turn. Their course was as uhexpected as it was unjustified. The Miners’ Convention, comprising delegates from all the mining and anti-debris counties, had. clearly and unitedly laid ‘down the lines of legislation, and, there was no suspicion that the anti-debris people would not keep the faith. while at this time to recall some of the utterances of the foremost anti-debris delegates to the convention, as they were chiefly instrumental in -bringing about the general conviction than entire harmony between the conflicting interests had been re. . stored. They read very strangely in view of the subsequent utterances and actions of the present anti-debris representatives, It is preper to say that the Sacramento and other anti-dgbris county delegations teok a very prominent part in the discussion and made more and longer addresses, perhaps, than the miners, They had quite as much to do with. shapiig the policy ef the convention as the miners, and from first to last there was no expressign that was not friendly, considerate and, apparently, genuine. Follewing are extracts from the addresses of several gentlemen, all representing the anti-debris interest : V. 8. McClatchy of Sacramento : We believe you will net do anything to injure us, We say that we extend to you the right hand of fellowship. The Sacramento delegation came down to assist in any way it can in solving this great preblem of finding some means fer allowiny the prosecution ef hydraulic mining which will not injure the rivers or our homes, and in any means that will accomplish that object we are with you, We will werk with you, doing what we can to accomplish it. We want to stand together and foster every industry that will tend to develop its (California’s) great resources, R. T, Devlin of Sacramento, attorney of the Anti-~Debris Association : There is no people ‘who would more gladly te see the hamlets and: the villiages ef the mining regions of California filled with a happy and prosperous pepulation than the peoplé of Sacramento. If it is meant to pass laws by which engineering skill may aid in determining the work, we will stand with you hand in hand, Grove L. Johnson of Sacramento : I desire to say that ne body of men ever yet exceeded this convention of miners in their desire to make peace with their enemies and to cement friendship with them, I find every man in this convention animated by the same purpose that, under God, I believe and feel, namely, to do all in our power te aid the miners of this State, atid te once more pour forth frem the mountains of the Golden State, that we all love, the millions of dollars that shall aid the commerce, aid the people and aid, if need be, in the throes of battle, the Government of the United States, I believe teday that there are engineers able, competent and willing te solve this question and to properly construct these dams in such a manner as, in the language of the reselutiens, to impound the mining debris and prevent injury te the navigable waters ef the State. That is all we ask; that is all any man ought to ask, I believe if a united delegation goes to the national representative hallin Washington, and the farmer hand in hand with the miner of California knocks upon the door of the treasury of the Nation, it will be open to us to carry out these works that we have projected and that we have endorsed, Let the dead past bury the dead. Let all animosities be drawn and buried in the slickens you have deposited in the bed of the rivers. Thomas J. Clunie of Sacramento: If there ever was an industry that ought to be fostered and encourazed, it is the great industry of mining. We have all joined hands tegether, : I eay in the name of justice we are not asking too much of the Congress of the United States when we say to them: ‘You sold the mine to the miner; youseld the land to the farmer; and these great indus~ tries, in erder to have our Btate flourish, must go hand in hand, andit is your duty to take such steps as are necessary to point out the way,” oe With the Government at our back, any plan suggested by them (the miners) will meet my approval, and you will find me walking hand in hand with the miners of the State to bring about legislation that will fester both of these interests(farmers’ and miners’) I knew and feel in my heart that you will be successful. With equities on our side, they(the General Gevernment)cannet re' fuse the requests ef this convention, C, P. Berry of Sutter: I wish to disabuse the miners here ent of a feeling that perhaps prevails among them, and that is that we are antagonistic to the mining industry, Such is not the cuse. It is worth . Wein the valley recognize the great, importance of the output ef gold. Weare as anxious for. gold as you yourselves dare be and we are willing to shovel mud and build levees, and drink muddy water, to the extent we can,-and yet exist, in order to get your gold. We don’t wish to suppress any industry that tends to build up this great State, Miners, we have accepted the pledge you have given—that is, that you will obey the laws, and that we will not be compelled hereafter to send spie& ‘into the mountains to see whether you are invading the law; and, therefore, accepting the pledge that you have given us, now we are willing to second any effort that you will make so that the mining industry will be rehabilitated. The miners'have in no instance violated the spirit or letter of the resolutions: of that convention, They accepted the statements of those gentlemen as pledges of like good faith on their part; and they are forced to the conclusion that they have either broken faith or they did not represent the sentiment of the people they pretended to represent.—Scientific Press, +O A FRAUD IN CLOTH.He Leaves Marysville for Nevada City, E. Kenyon, a sanctimonious looking individual, arrived ‘in this city about two weeks ago, says the Marysville Appeal, and called on Col, Edward Woodruff and from him rented a vacant stere on Second street, until recently occupied as. a postoffice, to hold religious meetings in. He called on the pastor of the Christian church and stated that he had rented: a} room for a Pentecost Night Missien and managed to get himuelf into the good graces of that clergyman. He told several persons to whom he ino. troduced himaslf that he was going to establish a branch of the Pentecost Mission in Sacramento and that a preacher weuld seon arrive here, He borrowed from all he could and also has a bill at a Second street restaurant, At an early hour Saturday morning, after the pale moon had disappeared, he left town for Nevada City, accompanied by twe ,men who had been running a patent oil and min-~ gtrel combination, He told such peculiar stories.on the stage that Driver Daily thought he-was an atheist, and cannot even new be made believe that he-was an expounder of the gospel. That he was a bilk of the first water is shown by'the fact that he did not pay the rent of the stere, the carpenter for his labor and the restaurant proprietor for his meals aad the clergyman the money he borrowed, If he tries en the same little game in Nea City it will be wise-to arrest him, There are many crimes committed under the'cloak of religion, Those who gave him donations are also out and injured. v om: ‘ REPUBLICANS MUST GO. Places Being Made in the Mint for Democratic Office-Seekers, There was a shake-up in the San Francisco Mint Monday. Quite a number of the old employes were given their walking papers, to make room fer Democratic placehunters, Ameng those who retired is Colonel L. H, Clement, the cashier. Colonel Clement is a thoroughly competent. official and isa Grand Army man, but wag forced to give way to make room for a Democrat, His successor is Jesse S. Wall, father-in-law of ex-Cengressman John R. Glaaceck. Billy Harrington will also retire from the Mint, Harrington cut quite a prominent figure in municipal politics there aome years ago, being an adherent of the Chute-ConroyMcCord faction of the party, In the campaign of 1888 he signalized himeelf by getting involved in a shooting scrape in the Republican county cemmittee rooms, during which he shet three men, one of them fatally. Martin Kelly and a man named Christiensen were wounded, while a man named Donahoe was killed. A lot ef other employes are also to be discharged frem the Mint, among them the assistant coiner and several women, 5 Sal A NOVEL SAVINGS BANK. How an Inmate of the Hospital Provided for His Funeral. J, A. Pitte, a native ef Maine, aged 71 years, died at the County Hospital this morning. Deceased was an old resident of the county, and had been an inmate of the -hospital a long time. “ He occasionally earned a little money by doing chores for different ones, and this money he gave to ‘W. ©, Groves, the undertaker, in dribblots of twenty-five and fifty cents.at a time, with the understanding that the same was to be used teward defraying his’ funeral expenses. He has been making these deposits quite. a long time, with the result that when the reaper death at last gathered the old man in his grasp there was meney enough at Groves te pay the expenses of a decent funeral. The funeral will take place from Groves’ undertaking rooms, Broad street, tomorrow afternoon at 2 e’cleck. Pre~y catarrh, are removed by Hood's Sarssparilla.

It is very .strange that the officers of Nevada City cannot manage to arrest ‘the yandals of Hallow Eve, Every year more or less damage is done to property around the town. Notwithstanding the TraySCRIPT gave due warning last evening that devilish work, as has been the custem for years, no arrests were made, : A large number of people took the precaution to take their gates indoors, but even in those eases other deviltry was committed, The tracks of these yearly scalawags could be seen all over town this morning, to the great disgust ef those who were made the victims. It is not alone the trouble and inconvenience that people are put te by these nocturnal mischief makers, but the absolute damage te property is considerable, Things have. come. to a pretty pass in Nevada-City when midnight vandals are allowed to go around to destroy property. As the officers dd not seem to be able to cope with the hoodlums, next year the citizens will take the matter inte their oWn hands and we feel assured an end will be put to the destruction ef gates upon the destruction of the culprits. The playing of harmless joke} on Hallow Eve is an ancient custom and there are various games and other means by which young folks can amuse themselves on that occasion witheut resorting to the heodlum pranks that have for years past characterized the celebratien of the event. in this city. We like to see boys have real, genu~ iné fun, but when their ideas of fun are the intolerable annoyatice of people and the destruction of property, it is time that this class of fun makers were summarily dealt with, —————+ $e SALE OF REAL ESTATE:--— W. H. Smith Buys the Searls Property on Broad Street. W. H. Smith, the grocer, has bought the brick building fermerly owned by Judge Searls on Broad street, next dvor, to Gault’s bakery.

Sheriff Douglass has received a letter from the Sheriff of Sacramento county, informing him that a Chinaman now under arrest at Sacramento ’is said by Chinamen of that place to be the man who killed a‘ Chinese woman at Moore’s Flat, in this county, ten or eleven years ago, and then made his escape. The Chinaman is wanted at Los Angeles for some crime committed there. Although diligent inquiry has been made by the officials here they have not as yet met with any one who remembers the occurrence of the tragedy at Moere’s Flat. There are a number of our citizens who re« member; however, of a similar crime being committed in this city about that long age. A Chinese woman who lived near the upper end of Commercial street was murdered im her house one ‘evening -by a Chinaman, who then made his escape and succeeded in cev— ering up his tracks se completely that the officera wére mover able to capture him. He was seen to enter the place, and was seen to come out and rua away. The mur derer lived here, and the fact that he disappeared at that time corroorated the statements of those who claimed te. have seen hini runuing away on the night of the tragedy, It is possible that the Sacramento China men may be mistaken about. the place, ard that the prisoner is the fellow whécommit-~ ted the murder in this city, Ov AE Tue best anodyne for the cure of bron-. chitis is Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
