A little English woman called at the County Jail to-day to see Arthur Arling- ton, the man of many aliass whose spe- clalty is playing confidence games on wo- men. She told a very earnest story, but | would give the jaller neither name nor address. She also is a victim of Arling- ton’s wiles, She says she has no desire | to prosecute him, but she is very anxious to recover a ring which he took from her. This ring was given her by her mother | and she holds it to be pricele While Arlington was preying upon her confi- | dence, he became possessed of the ring and she has never been able to re- cover it. He will give her no satisfaction as to him to aid her in recovering the heirloom. Arlington is a practiced schemer. He evidently studies out his plan to tne end before he embarks upon it. One of his victims, Mrs. Minnie Smith, told her story yesterda -day Arlington continued the narrative where Mrs. Smith left off. The lady cut her story off abruptly a Piedmont Sprin; when the ‘‘wealthy | miner’ who had engaged her as his housekeeper snatched her purse contain- ing $214 8 and refused to return it.

The following communication has been | sent to this paper by Dr. John M. Will- | iamson, chairman of the Board of Health, and Dr. A. P. O'Brien, Health Officer, re- garding the precautions that should be | taken by residents of this city to prevent | the entrance and spread of infectious dis- eases. It is not intended to alarm_ the | community, but simply as a few words of | advice to lessen the possible danger. The etter Is as follows: AN FRANCISCO, June 8, 1599 To The Cail: Kindly call to the attentfon of the public the following facts: | The recently increased influx of passengers | from Asiatic p particularly soldiers return- | Ing from the Philippines, renders the city liable to the entrance and spread of infectious discases, as is evidenced by the appearance of several cas lipox within the past few weeks, We therefore feel it incumbent upon us to sound a note of warning to the residents | of this city in order that all necessary pre- | cautions against an epidemic may be instituted. | Particular attention should be paid by house- holders and others to cleanliness of premises, All garbage and refuse should be burned or speedily carted away, and chloride of lime and precaution at once. Within the next few days the Health Depart- ment will institute a house to house inspection, with the aid and co-operation of the Police De- partment, and cleanliness of yards, basements and outbiildings will be rigidly inststed upon, This communication is not Intended os an | alarmist measure, but merely as a few “-nrd!‘ of advice, which, if followed, will do much demic. JOHN M. WILLIAMSON, M. D., Chalrman Board of Health. A. P. O'BRIEN, M. D., Health Officer, —_————— GRACE GORDAN’S DEATH. Bits of Hair Found in Her Stomach May Have Been the Cause. An examination of the body of Grace Gordon was made vesterday afternoon by Autopsy Surgeon Zabala, who found that | death had been caused by peritonitis, | superinduced by inflammation of the | stomach. Miss Gordon ate dinner with her mother last Wednesday evening in a cheap French restaurant on Stockton street and | partook heartily of boiled mussels. After reaching home she complained of severe | pains i{n the abdomen. The pains in- creased in intensity and frequency, and Dr. Herrington was called in, but he was unable to give any relief and the youn woman died. The phystcian diagnosed the case as one of ptomaine poisoning, | caused by some frritant, probably a de- | cayed mussel, in the stomach of the de- | ceased. He maintained this position after the autopsy. Dr. Zabala found seeds, bits of what he believed to be human hair and other in- digestible substances in the intestines of the dead woman. He gave the opinion that the inflammation had been caused by some irritating substance. He found the young woman to have been in a very weak condition and anaemic, €0 that an exciting cause that would have no effect upon a healthy and strong person would be fatal to her. Tt is probable that the deceased swal- lowed some of the mussel beards or pleces of broken shell. —_—e—————— A. 0. H. OFFICERS CHOSEN.

MAY STOP PR ESENT RUSH e MEN ON THE GROUND MAKE VERY POOR WAGES. e From Fifty Cents to Two Dollars a Day the Average Earnings of Men at the New Gold Fields. Pl s Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, June 8.—The steamer St. Denis, which arrivea at Ensenada to-day from San Roque, the landing of the S erra Pintada placers, brings a very dis- couraging report, calculated to put a stop to the rush of men to that section, though several practical miners said the reports would not deter them from mak- ing the trip to the diggings, where they will prospect not for placer gold but for rich quartz ledges which are believed to st near the placers. A special dis- ch received to-night by the Union from its correspondent, who is returning from a week's stay in the diggings, con- tains the following details: Experfenced American miners (not (tender- feet), who carefully prospected many miles of the Sierra Pintada plac nothing there worth while for Americans—not The_daily earnings per man is placed at from 0 cents to $250 American money. The placers are extensive, gold ex- isting "in_small quantities in hundreds of guiches, but it is quickly worked out. The present’ diggings are comparatively exhausted, no claims have been located or considered worth locating by Americans or Mexicans, so far as could be learned. The camp is well sup- plied with Mexican dry washers, which do the best work. Nearly all miners have some gold carried in cartridge shells, averaging from 50 cents to §2 per man. Any rich strikes made have not been heard of in camp. Emiliano Ibarra stated to me positively that this is no Klondike; there is no honanza at the Slerra Pintada placers, Any American who has come down here expecting to get rich by digging gold had better go home at once. Ibarra said a liberal estimate of the earnings of the camp would be from $4 to § In Mexican money per man daily. Francisco Salorio, the customs in- spector, denied to me that he sald Mexicans were getting gold by throwing dirt on blankets. He says he only sald that Mexicans had told him that they were making what were to them satisfactory wages. I am rellably informed that alorio’s report, as sent out from here, was ned by him from a one night's visit to the eighteen miles from the placers ‘Andres Strickroth of Ibs & Co., merchan at Ensenada, returned on the St. Denis with me and othérs. He went there expecting to open a store, but quickly decided that the fleld 1s not a good one and that the excitement will soon subside. He said he was advised that the ean up of the camp for the past three al allowance, and no considerable s to Mazatlan or any other point. Some of route to the placers on the B Acme, Alta and their minds here upon hearing the the St. Denis. and are returning on er to-night to San Diego. Many miners are left at the placers, and a telegram received late to-night from Ensenada states that there is ground for many of the previous reports <ent ging b out. There is gold in the diggings, but many of the men returning on the St. Denis have found it “mixed with dirt” and were discouraged. More favorable reports than those received to-night are expected later. Inventor Hoe’s great story, “How I Built the First Printing Press,” in next Sunday’s Call. RAILROAD TRAVEL.
