Morgan Has @ Mishap on . the Middle “Yuba. ' Last Wednesday afternoon David E. Morgan, assistant cashier of the Citizens Bank at this city, had a narrow escape from being killed. He was ‘Stepped upon by a refractory horse, one of the wheels of a heavy carriage passed over his body, and he is now in bed at his home on Main street being doctored. 3 met: Mr. Morgan with his brother Frank and two other men had driven ina double carriage to a point on the grade leading down to the McKillican mine, four miles above Moore’s Flat. It isa wild, rugged ‘spot. , They were on mining business.and went to a point off the road. Finally they wanted to turn the rig around in a contracted and rough place. David E. Morgan hud the horses by the head and the others were lifting the vehicle. The horses became frightened and reared. Mr. Morgan fell under them, and one of them brought a hoof down on his left handAt the same time the team sprang forward, drawing one of the wheels over his back. This happened late in the afternoon. The party immediately started for this city with the injured man, arriving at one o’clock yesterday morning. He is pretty sore yet, but none of the hurts are dangerous. It will be several days before’ he is himself again, however. SANITARY LEGISLATION, A New and Sound City Health Ordinance to be Enacted. The present town ordinances relating to sanitary matters and the enforcement of regulations are in a mixed and altogether unsatisfactory condition. They are scattered all through the records, and in some cases are hardly worth the paper they are written on. Then.they are incomplete and entirely inadequate in many respects for present conditions. The city fathers will shortly reconstruct this branch of legislation and adopt a comprehensive and forcible ordinance, that will invest the health officer with all the necessary authority to properly perform his duties. As itis now he has to depend in @ measure upon the people’s willingness to follow bis instructions. NO MARKET FOR PRUIT. Despite the Pact That This Year's Crop Is Superior, For the first time in many years the fruit trees.in this part of the State are comparatively free from such pests as the codlin moth and scale, and the pear crop in particular is one of the largest and best that has been seen. Yet thousands of tons of pears, plums and othe: fruit will go to waste for want of a market. The local demand is not sufficient to begin to exhaust the supply, and the market in the East was spoiled early in the season by the bad management of shippers who sent back in large quantities the first and inferior picking and by this unwise action lost money for themselves and disgusted the Easterners. : eee oe Miners’ Association Collections. » W.F.

Donnelly were appointed appraisers of the estate of the late Miss Rosena Ella Dunton of Grass Valley. The young lady died in 1895. All the property that she left was a legacy of $500 left her by an aunt in Galena, Ill. The next of kin are her sisters Lucia and Almira, who live in San Francisco, and Francis Anne of this county.

Next month he will hold services in Grass Valley and at this city. The Bishop enjoyed his journey through the northern counties and met with a cordial reception wherever he went. He says the good climate and food that he had up there have made a new man of bim, and that he feels almost as young as he did a quarter of a century ago. ; ; Rees Going to Arizona. Prof. George A. Tread well writes from San Francisco that he will leave soon for Arizona to examine a gold mine, and slso the Buster copper mine, which is near, the Verdi copper mine. The Buster mine is said to have gold enough in its copper ores to more than pay for mining and’smelting the copper. The London parties are well pleased with the outlook, as it bids fair to beconie a more extensive copper mine and righer in gold than the famons Verdi copper mine. The Professor will be gone two weeks, + e8e Anthracite Coal. Should the reported discovery of an anthracite coal region 60. miles square in the State of Sonora, Mexico, prove true, it will be a great blessing to California and the Pacific Coast. So far nothing but the softer grades of coal have been found om this coast. The demand for such hard coal will be great for use in residences, shops, fac tories, etc. A Farewell Surprise.
