fom, ) tga ious fur a little cheap notoriety, are & The Daily Transeript ‘ NEVADA CITY, CAL. Saturday, April 12, 1873. ‘Ho, ; Bogart! A few papers of this State, anxever ready to espouse any cause, and even to take sides against justice. “This is demonstrated by the course of some of these papers in reference to the arrest of one R. D. Bogart in San Francisco, by order of the Secre-+ tary_of the Navy. Charges against him are that in 1868, while Paytastter’s Clerk on board the Vermont, at New York, he~took from the Pay~praster’s: safe,.$10,000. belonging to the United States, applying the funds to his own use,. and also that he deserted,from the same ship. Upon these charges he-was_ arrested by or” der of: the Secretary of the Navy, as ashe should have been. Of the guilt or innocence of.Bogart, we know little, and have nothing to say, but the attempt _of' some papers of . . the State to magnify his importance and thé denunciation of the Government for requiring him to be tried ‘epon the charge is. contemptible. Who is Bogart;that he should not be arrested andtried upon these charges against him, and punished if his guilt is established. “Before. this berating the Government for his arrest, it would have been in better taste-to wait-the result of the trial, and find . whether Bogart did commit the crimes charged, and if he. did, it matters not whe he may be, or how high his place, he ought to be punished. He will no doubt have a fair ‘trial, and if guilty ought to be punished as any other rogue. If he is innocent, the present agitation in his favor will not help~him at alr The whole fuss kicked up abont this man Bogart is~entirely uncalled for and out of place. “He is entitled to no more-consideration than any other man would be, on trial for swindling the Government, and we do not = : presume thé Department at Washington or the Secretary of the Navy will be frightened into.discharging him, by the vindictiveness of afew insignificant papers, any more-than though those papers had exhibited good taste by leaving the accused to be tried quietly by the Government. We are rather of the impression that Bogart’s friends have not done him much good by their course in regard to the accusation againsthim. They are certainly of a most serious charaater, and the more they are discussed. before the trial the worse it will be for Bogart. Price of Ice, People who indulge in the luxury of ice during the coming season need not expect to do so atthe moderate tigures of the past few years, if the Union may be believed. It says: ‘A grand combination has been formed, by which, as we are creditably informed, one company will do the entire retail business of the State, fixing its own prices, and all tho old companies will séll ice to itby wholesale and to no one else. It is said the companies have lost money since the opposition first commenced, and this combination will bea mutual benefit to them, though consumers may not appreciate the movement. The name of the new organization is the Pacific Ice Company, located in San Francisco." 3 ' Exciting ‘News from Grasse Valley. We copy the following startling intelligence from the Grass Valley Union of yesterday: The Fourth of July is going to be celebrated, or at least we have heard that there is to be a Fuurth of July this year. A roll of blankets and a bottle: of whisky is the baggage required by a Marysville may for atrip to the East. A Grass Valley man would require a little more whisky. E1cat hundred thousand dollars of the $1,000,000 tax levied by the State . of Pennsylvania for the Centennial Exposition is to come out of the railroads which center at Philadelphia, throngh a three per cent. tax laid on their grosa receipts until 1876. This will leave $200,000 t® be raised from other sources, Of course the railroads will be the chief gainers by the exhibition, and are willing “to contribute to its suocens. Corraces by the sea are going up . yesterday. That particular column . pose of electing Trustees for the en‘. suing year. . ington, Ky., over the location of the em Brevities. F The “local” of the Grass Valley Union has'the spring fever or some other disease; so we "judge from the terrible dryness of his local column should contain what ‘its. head indicates, “local intelligence,’’ and not articles.about, ‘‘a dog sucking eggs in Indiana,"' or “how they preservé meatin London.” . een We understand a railroad project will be proposedin the Lyceum on Monday night, in the shape of a bill which will he dis¢udsed and amended afntil all the points. d_ propositions that can-be made_on the subject are brought out. This will enable all interested to take part in the mutter: and will not only be interesting, but will aid in farming a plan for ae-ion: “Yesterday the weather was not very pleasant for ranchers. We understand that the crops are suffering for want of rain, and this toa greater extent in the valleys than in the mountains. A gentleman who reeently came from San Francisco, informs us that at several points along the route-the grain appears to be drying up. The. 0. 0. F. Lodge, of North San Juan, have voted unanimously to attend the: celebration in this city, én the 25th inst., as_a body. They have secured the San Juan Brass Band for that occasion. The procession will be a very large one, and two bands of music will be needed, as itis thought there will be over 500 Odd Fellows in the procession. The readers of the Grass Valley . Union are about to petition the editor to write just one siticle bifthe “watér question’’ or on the “narrow gauge railroad project’”’ in an explicit manner, 80 they may know exactly his position, ‘The petition respectfully represents the. aforesaid editor on all sides of all questions.’’ We are afraid the signers of that petition are fooling away time, paper and ink. The Union says some beef cattle will. arrive in Grass. Valley in a few days, and advises its readers to ‘‘call and see the next killing.” That’s the most —original idea we have seen in the Union for many days. The attorneys for the Central Pacific R. R. Co., have been served with notice by Judge Searls and District Attorney Deal, that the tax case will be called up in District Court in this county;-on Wednesday of next week,-on demurrer. -The annual mééting’ ofthe stockholders of Odd Fellows’ Hall Association, will take place on Monday, May 5th,.at the Hall, for the» pur‘*The Old Rooster.” _The Woman Suffrage Convention at San Francisco has not been a success so far as harmony is concerned. John-A. Colling started_a—movement. to shut Pitt Stevens out of the Convention, and he got worsted in every point. Pitts got in, andthe thing run so unevenly, that on Wednesday night Mrs. Palmer, the President, declared the Convention adjourned sine die without motion or vote, and before officers were elected. On Thursday morning the Stevens faction met and was called to order by the Vice President, and they had a lively time. Mrs. Lealand made a speech, in which she ~ denounced Collins as an ‘‘old rooster scratching after worms for the hens, and looking for one for himself now and then.’’ She wanted the Convention run exclusively. by women. Strawberries. Hershman, at Nick's old stand, Pine street, received the first strawberries brought to this market this season. on. Thursday :night. They were all sold early yesterday morning, and there was a demand for more, Mr. Hershman, we understand, has made arrangements to get them every night A Big Reward. . In addition to the reward offered. by the Gevernor fer the conviction of the murderer of A. Lind, ‘we understand that Sheriff Perrin will, in more, making an aggregate of $3,500 for the conviction of the assassin. — ~~ o— THERE is great excitement in Coynew post office. _ : Tue Millerites announce that the last trampet will positively be played a few days, offer a reward of $3,000 . A Nrw York special says a.terrible riot occurred at: Fordham, Long Island, Tuesday afternoon, growing out-of an election for school trustees, It appears that one Haskins, President of the present Board, was a candidate for re-election, and was bitterly opposed by a portion of the eitizens on account of alleged sharp practices in business matters of the Board. The election resulted in his defeat; but when the new Board went to take possession of the room theysfound the Haskins party in possession and the door locked. The adherents of the anti-Haskins Party broke the door down, and a free fight ensued, which the police were powerless_to quiet, and—at last accounts a regular pitched battle was in progress in the street. -It is believed many of the participants were seriously turt, if, indeed, none were killed, ee ae Tue Hon.

How THE Devin Lost.—A young man, who ardently desired wealth, was visited by his Satanic Majesty, who tempted him to promise his sou] for eternity if he could be supplied on this‘earth with all the money he could use. cluded; the devil was to supply. the money, and was at last to have the soul, unless the youngman could spend more money-than the devil’ conld furnish. Years passed.away; the man married, was extravagant in his_living, built—palaces, speculated widely, lost and gave away. fortunes, and_yet his coffers were always full, He turned politician and bribed his ducing his *‘pile’’ of gold. He -became a ‘filibuster,’’ and fitted out -ships~and—armies,—but-his. banker honored all his drafts. He went ta St. Paul to live, and paid the usual rates: of interest for all the mcney he could borrow; but though the devil made wry faces when hecame:to pay the bills, yet they were all paid. One expedient after another failed; the devil~.counted the time; only two years, that he must wait for the soul, and mocked the efforts of the despairing man. One more trial was resolved upon—the man started .a newspaper! The devil growled at the bill-at the end of the tirst quar: ter, was savage in six months, melanchely in pine, and broke—‘‘dead broke!’ at the end of the year. So the newspaper went down, but. the soul was saved. lee A-GentTLEMAN-favorably-known in high circles in Philadelphia, named Jacob Stone, was relating to a Sabbath School his travels in the. Holy Land, and, among other things, he told the scholars of the ascent of Mount Pisgah. On the following Sunday the teacher asked, in the course-of-the lesson, who ascended Mount Pisgah.

Panic in a Church. Say Trenton, N. 4., March. 31.---The universal sorrow that prevades the community»at the loss of Father John P. Macken was. shown by the . hundreds that thronged the St. John’s . Church’ this morning, long before mencement of the funeral services, They belonged to every uss, Fepre-. sented every denominatipn. At ten . o'clock there were fully .2,000 people in the building, and looking over the sea of heads -hot a spot, except. Ling immediately around the.alter, could be seen where it was. possible that the~smalest child cote. be wedged—in.‘They were packéd in aisles ike sardines, the pews were jammed, people sat in each other's laps, while in many cases-men with . good sized children held them, tn their arms, because there: was no room elsewhere for them. : It still lacked half an hour of the time for the co encement of the services, and e multitude con‘tinued swarmif® toward the church, even though tgey met others cominzaway; and Knew that there was . ‘not one chance in a thousand . of ‘placirg a foot. -within= the—-doof: Checked here, they continued Gon; gregating on the outside until the broad marble steps were covered, the yard filled, thepavement thronged, and near the street almost blockaded. At twenty minutes past ten -a woman in the gallery, on the south side sank on her knees to’ utter a prayer. As her weight touched the kneeling board it gave one sharp crack as if it were splintering, when a woman in the body of the church uttered a slight scream: At the same moment a man leaned over and‘ called out to those beneath to’ hurry out, as the galleries were giving away. A scene of the most frightful. description then followed. Women screamed, men shouted, and hundreds made a frenzied rushfor ‘the doors. , They came pouring down the galleries, tumbling over each other, all strugwling in a wild, despairing effort to get into the open air, Those with cooler heads; who saw that there was not the slightest danger, shouted tu the erazy -hunSmith, with a voice that rose. above the din like that of a trumpet, told in afew words the innocent cause of the terrible fright;.and besought their to becaim themselves and save the scores of lives that -are now imperiled. Butit was useless, so. far as hundreds were concerned. Converging at the doors,-the crowds became wedged fast, so_ that fora few minutes they were as the .solid pillars beside them. But the pressure in the rear became tremendous, and the panting victims, caught, as it uether grindstone, still furiously .essuyed to free themselves, until a break was made, and out of the line. was driven headlong, the men, women and children tying and” rolling hither arid thither, as‘if driven by a catapult. On-the outside the panic-stricken men were struggling to get~in, aud the strife at the door was terrific. Amid the horrid din the ery of fire was raised, and the ringing of_ bells brought the engines thundering to the spot, while the screams of women, the cries of children, and the who had friends and relations within doomed, as they believed, to the most. dwful of deaths, helped to
make a perfect pandemonium forthe time. ~ Among the first’ out of ‘the doors was @ woman, who, unable to keep her feet, pitched over the marble steps, and others came tumbling Over and upon her, Faster and faster they poured out, and higher and higher they piled. Herculean men made desperate efforts to free themselves from the writhing mass, but ere they could do so, they were buried out of sight by those who rolled over ‘upon them. Two men caught afriend by his arms and pulled him until they hadto cease through fear of dislocating his limbs, and these powerful men ‘were unable to budge him an inch. Others ‘swarmed throtigh thé windows, and one Woman was twice caught and restrained from leaping out of an upper Window Upon the pavement below. By and by the disintegration. of the black, seething pile on the marble began. At the very-base .of the pile was dragged out a woman, frightfully bruised, bleeding and senseless. ‘Dead!’ gasped an appalled spectator, but a brawny man, in rubbing -theblood from her face, felt the throbbing at the temple, and she was hurriedly carried across the street, where every attention was given her. A little girl was taken: from the pyramid of crazed beings and laid upon a settee, white, gasping, and dying. A boy, the son ef Mrs. Evans, had his, arm broken, and received surh a concussion of the brain that he is likely to die. Lhe mother was.also_injnred,.but not dangerously. These two children lay in the entry of. Father Smith’s house immediately . adjoining the church. Another little. girl lay unsconcious in the shoe store of Mr, Shields near by, and was not recognized! until noon,: when her sorrowing mother, Mrs, Carlisle, carried her away to her home. A second girl, named Maggy Mullany, was also carried into Mr. Shield’'s store. The wife of Benjamin Stokes was conveyed home, where the attending physician, Dr: Wolverton, amount.
