The Proposed Change Will Be Made Very Soon, It is expected that the proposed changes and improvements in the arrangement and equipment of the Postoffice at this city will be made between the Ist and Ith. of . December, The work will begin on a Satur= day night, and by working that night and Sunday the change will be nearly completed by Sunday night, so that the public will be only ightiy discommoded, The first thing to do willbe to remove the boxes, stands, tables and other furniture out of the building. The old floor will be taken up and a fine new one, of selécted Oregon pine, put down, This work will be done at night, , The following morning a crew of workmen will hegin to get the place ‘in shape for the new outfit of boxes, etc. There is to be a space of eight feet from the entrance to where the boxes begin, and public as now, ‘both will be utilized. In the summer time the glass doora will be removed and the office front be left open. By this change there will be 250 feet. of lobby room. The money order and general delivery windows will be directly facing the entrance doors, while the mail boxes will face the samé as now, extending towards the back end of the room. Tn all there are to be 514 boxes, of which 24 are to be large size for hotels, offices and other places that receive a large amount of mail matter, The fronts of the large boxes will be of solid bronze and glass, avd on opening will drop down almost on a level with the bottom of the box, thus affording a small shelf upon which the mail can’ be laid while taking it from the box, The fronts of the small boxes will be of métal and glass and will swing to the right. Each of the boxes will be provided with one of the celebrated Yale locks, no two of which can be opened with the same key. The boxes will be close together, no space being lost, and the 514 new boxes will not také op much more room than the 250 ould ones, In addition to the. fine appearance which the boxes will give to the place, the sur-1 rounding plate glass and wood work will be of a high order, and will add greatly to the looks of the office, The money order and general delivery windows will be quite handsome, as considerable plate and art glass will be used, The interior arrangement of the office will be very convenient and in all respects up with the times. W. H. Morrison, Pacific Coast representative of the Yale-Towne Company of Stamford, Conn,, who was here recently to take measurements for the new outfit, was instructed by Messrs, Rector Bros, to put in their best grade of work, and when the change is completed Nevada City’s Postoffice will hé one of the neatest and. best equipped in the State, ~Oe WHATEVER may be the cause of blanching, the hair may be restored to its original color hy the use of that potent remedy Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer, 20e---— WENT INTO THE. CREEK, ——— The Greadudtioot Bridge Breaks Down. This Afternoon, About half-past 1 o'clock this afternoon, while Ed. J. Baker was crossing the wooden bridge at the foot of Broad street, one of large stringers broke in two, precipitating Baker with his two horses and wagon load of furniture into the creek below, a distance of. about twelve feet or more, Mr. Baker had been to the depot and was about in the middle of the bridge when the long timbers which reaches from one bank to the other, on the side nearest the Main-street bridge, snapped in two, Witnesses hurried to the assiétance of Baker, who was found to be seriously hurt by the fall. He was carried to the Union Hotel, where Dr, Tickell made a \hurried examination of his injuries and did what he could to afford him relief. It was found that his right shoulder, side ‘and bask (Were badly bruised, and probably the bones crushed some, but this could not be determined without a more thorough examina, tion, As soon as Baker regained coneciquendes and began to rally from the effects of the terrible jar*-he had sustdined he was removed to his home on Factory street, It isa yreat wonder that he was not killed, The last vehicle to cross the bridge before the acci ‘ent was the Bloomfield stage, which was driven ever at a rapid gait, It is supposed that this strained the bridge and ‘caused the long iron truas bolt to break, as it was found to be after the accident, The bolt had pulled away from the nut, thereby taking away the support to the stringer. Dr, A. Chapman was crossing the bridge atthe time, He was near one end and feeling it give he made a jump and landed.on solid footing as the bridge went down, The horses-were not hurt much, and the damage te the wagon and furniture was slight. ‘ 9 —s ee How's Thist We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Care, F.

Two Shots Fired at a Passenger, Who Saved His Life by Be Running Away. The stage which left North Bloomfield this morning for this city had on board Arthur Meyer, the driver, and one passenger, a, gentleman named Clarence Bovee, who is from Minnesota, Sierra county. He oc* cupied a seat on the box with the driver. When the stage reach a point about half a mile this side of Nelson’s ranch, on Rook creek, three miles f short distance from banker Cummings was murdered fifteen years ago, a masked. man suddenly came out from the brush on the left hand side of the road and covering Meyer with @ pistol ordered him to atop his horses, Meyer stopped the team and the robber conimanded him to dismount, ‘I can’t do that ; the team will run away if I do,” was the reply, ‘*Get down, God damn you,” sheuted ‘the road ‘agent, ‘raising his weapon ominously, “I say I will not do it,” coolly answered the fearless young man, at the same time. putting one hand behind him as if reachiug for a weapon—a thing he never carried, by the way. Immediately the robber began shooting at Meyer. “At the sevond shot poor Meyer fell forward into the boot, deaf. ‘ Bovee jumped off the stage and ran back down the read, As he did so the highwayman fired twice at him, but without: effect. Bovee met Peter Arbogast, who was at work in that vicinity, and informed him of what had happened, Both men went up to where the stage had been stopped, and getting aboard came on to town, Arbogast handling the ribbons and sending the horses for all that was in them, in order to give the alarm as soon as possible. The stage came down Broad street about 1 o’clock Pp. M,, at-euch rapid speed that all who noticed it pass suspected quickly that something unusyal had happened. . Before the stage had hardly reached the National Exchange Hotel, where it stopped, there was a rush of people to find out what had happened, The wildest excitement burst forth as soon as it became known that a foul and cowardly murder had been committed and that Arthur Meyer was the victim, and looked at the dead body as it lay’ in the hoot of the stage. 2 Mr. Bovee is an invalid and was se terribly unstrung by the terrible deed of which he was a witness, that it was with difficulty says the road-agent was roughly dressed and wore.along inask, He was apparently a medium-sized man and would probably weigh 130 or 140 pounds, Bovee saw nothing more of him after he (Bovee) jumped from the stage and ran down the road, Meyer's body was removed to the undertaking parlors, where an inquest was held by Coroner Daniels, In a short time after the arrival of the stage over one hundred armed mepi in different parties, were on their way. to the scene of the murder, Captain Nihell
placed the military rifles at the disposal of citizens and got together a number of the members of Company C and started out. Sheriff Douglass organized a posse and went out ina conveyance, It is the intention to scour the country thoroughly, Word has been sent out to all telegraph and telephone stations where the murderer might.go, and no stone will be left unturned to capture him, A reward of $500 has been olfervi for /the arrest and conviction of the murderer, At‘the point where the stage was stopped there ia quite a.grade, and the team is generally given ite time in making the ascent. This fact Was taken advantage of by the robber, _ Mr. Bovee says the man did not demand of Meyer to pass out the treasure box, but apparently shot him because Meyer argued with him as to the foolishness of stopping that stage. Very little treasure is ever-carried on this line, not enough to justify any one to attempt to hold up the atage, Aa far as can be ascertained the robber did not take anything. The leather pocket in which small packages of coin are carried had not been:disturhed and the money ip Meyer’s pockets had not been taken, As Meyer , fell the lines dropped under his body and were held there, which probably accounts for the team not running away. The'road agent evidently becime frightened after killing Meyer and made his escape without delay. It is te be hoped thathe will be speedily caught and dealt with in the manner he deserves, Arthur Meyer, the dead stage driver, waa well liked by all who knew him, His untimely end, Mer, Bovee says he was one of the Deceased leaves a wife and three small children living in this city, to ‘whom uni~ extended, Mr this city, and only a/. Hundreds of people climbed up Bale that he could talk of the awful affair. Hel: DEAD ! E, Gd. Waite Si Suddenly Ex. pires Today. SE APOPLEXY THE CAUSE.
