In a few moments the citiaens had turned out Masse and wer doing their best to stop the names. Water was scarce aod there was no fire engine, so but little ooold be done. The fire started in the Arcade saloon, situated in Viztna1 A Cook's block, three doors from the cqrner. It was caused by the opening of a birel of whisky. Th weather being very wirm the fumes from the barrel cauaht fire at the cigar lighter, and the barrel bursting, th entire room was soon enveloped ia names.

Cary, physician.7 Dr. Cary tendered his resignation June 1st, stating that he waa going East It wss accepted and the vacancy filled. The Warden had no desire' to make any charges against any one at present, and did not wish to build himself op by palling others down; but it was a fact that he ought to have discharged Dr. Cary aa long agoaa last February. His language on this point gave the impression that he had grounds of complaint against Dr.

Cary which he did not care to make public. One officer, an engineer, had been discharged for cause, and the aame had been the case with few guards. In no single instance had any official been discharged for any other reason. OTHER CUAJtOES VHPOtTHDED. The charge of drnnkenneaa was re pelled with indignation, and the teiti- wv a ai mony of the prison omciaia au went to show that it was utterly without foundation.

The book a and ac counts of the prison show that the charge of withholding money from con victs was also nntrne, arising from ine fsct that a dying convict willed some money in the Warden's possession to two other convicts, nnder an alias, the money standing in his right name on the books. The devisees of the deceased convict demanded this money and the Warden refused, to deliver it up until proper legal forms had been complied with. Hie action met the full approval of the Hoard of Directors. The prison accounts also showed that the gate charge was nntrne. Concerning the charge that he had refused the pittance allowed convicts on leaving the prison.

Judge Ames claims that it is discretionary with himself whether it shall be tendered or not, and he has exercised that discretion in the case of convicts who have money in their possession, thus in several instances saving the amount to the State. In regard to THE CONVICT CLERK, It is a fact that he doei not wear the convict but he is not the Wardens clerk, serving nnder Mr. KIlisrRs an accountant. On two occasions be was taken to San Rafael by Mr. bllia, for medical treatment.

The charge of abusive treatment of Mr. Cumming, the Inatrnctor in Morale, waa probably baaed, upon the fact that the instructor had requested the War-dun to allow two convicts whose time hi I expired, to leave the prison by the rear, outlet at an early hoar, to avoid the couuty officers who awaited them at the front gate with warrants of arrest upon other charges. Cummings had made the same request of the Governor previously. and had been refused, so that Judge Amea was naturally incensed that in the fuce of thia refuaal he ahould be applied to in the aame matter. SOLITARY CONFINEMENTS.

The convict who was alleged to have been confined in the dark dungeon for rixteen months was called in and made his own statement, to the effect that he had been in solitary confinement about a year before Warden Ames took charge of the prison, for the reason that he-re fused to work, considering nimseii unjustly treated by the contractor in the matter of- over-work, and by McAllister, former of the Yard, against whom he bad made threats; that Amea ottered to release him if be wonld behave himself, but he declined to make such a promise until after Mc Allister left the prison, not being willing trust bmnself in a position where be would have an opportunity of carrying out his threats. The man who waa held in aolitary confinement until he became maniac was stated to be a Chinaman, who, for attempting to escape, wsa pat solitary confinement, tie acted as crazy, lbs warden tnougnt ne was feigning insanity, but the doctor differed with him, and on the latter a advice the Chinaman taken out of the cell. when- his craziuess soon disappeared. He was only in solitary confinement about twenty days. DR.

"Trmn the dost and the noise of the highway Twas a furleny perchance A little to the north of Center-street station, and between that and the Point, lies sequestered in a bower of waving leaf shade and perfect retirement and rest, one of the most attractive portions of our thriving cijtv of so many advantages. It has been noticed that a large number of persons get off at Center-street station during the afternoon and evening, and move northward in a regular methodical way on their trackless tramp homeward, bearing a contented look withal; and these same people oome out bright and fresh in the morning, cheerful in the journey to their daily duties. This portion of the city represents as thoroughly aa any A COSMOPOLITAN CLASS In ita purest sense, fit is not the locality of a set, but combine the live elements of our citizenship.

Here reside some of the wealthy and well connected, the toiler who represents! the bone'and sinew of life, the man of moderate meaus, and he who by prudence and forethought haa built him a permanent home and surrounded his family with comforts and luxuries. The streets are all well graded, the sidewalks in good order, and the neighborhood presents a clean, fresh, homelike appearance, rendering it at onoe attractive and inviting. The grading is excellent and the eeweraxe perfect. Upon either side of each street are rows of well erown shade trees, adding to the beauty of the spot, and affording pleasant walks, guarding the pedestrian from the glaring sun rays by day and scattering in silver fragment the moon beams by night, or in the darkneas jotted by the brUlL-uit studding of gas lamps which stand regularly in aentinel-like relief. The air pure and clear aiid it is generally conceded to be one of the moet healthy and desirable residence por tions of the city.

THE BESinEXCES Ars neat and attractive, nearly ev ery street being wel built in fine homesj and handsome cottages. The houses are generally two stories in hight, with bay-windows, and containing all the modern improvements. Each is surrounded by a well-arranged yard or garden, adding to the beauty of the home landscape. On Ninth street, near Chester, is a well-built row of modern dwellings and another of fine appearance on Peralta, above the same dtreet. At the corner of Ninth and Chester streesj Mr.

Ziegenbefhfhas just erected a very baadxome and commodious dwelling house, adjoining one which was erected about three months since, thus adding to the constant LINE Or IMPROVEMENTS Which haa been goin? on year after year. At the corner of Willow and Seward, on the property recently sold at auction by Messrs. Taggart and Dingee, the same builder has erected a neat substantial cottage for Mrs. Gohoman, which Js only the beginning! of a line of residences on the Willow-street front of the lot, soon to be commenced. The Schroeder property, at the corner of Eighth and Willow streets, occupied bv Mr.

Detel as a grocery store, is being altered by the raising of the building, and the introduction of a strong brick foundation with a new sidewalk. At Eighth and Center streets a new plank crossing is being laid, and wherever improvements are needed, they are promptly made. There is an eitprit de corpt about the people, and each vies' with the other id making attractive and keeping in excellent order the streets and grounds in the neighborhood. In the midst of the quiet and retirement iuite an amount of BUHINZSH KNTEHPBI4K Is manifested. Places of business adapted to the wants and demands of the community have sprung up at various points distant from Seventh street, which has for a long time been considered the main avenue of trade.

At Eighth and Chester streets there is a cluster of stores occupied by the grocer, the butcher and the baker, which are clean and inviting in appearance and well stocked with goods. There is another store and a wood and coal yard at Tenth and Chester streets; in fine, veniences for purchases of all ttfat is needed, for at least temjorary use, are well provided for. Among the residence advantages worthy of note is the close proximity of SCHOOLS AND CHCBCHES, Which are easy of access by good side walks, crossings and roadways, and offer the desideratum always sought after in selecting a place of residence. The Prescott Public School, which is one of ths largest in the city, is located in the heart of the section, and ia well conducted. It is situated at the corner of Seward and Campbell, and conveniently and comfortably arranged.

A short distance above, at Tenth and Union streets, stands the Cole School, which is within easy distance. Opposite the Prescott School, on the north side of Seward street, between Campbell and Peralta streets, is located St. Patrick's Church, which is the Jargest and moot commodious edifice in the locality. The Second Congregational is located on the north side of Chase street, between Wood and Willow streets, and is a new and finely arranged building. A few blocks distant stands the littleCentennial Methodist, on Campbell street, between Eighth and Taylor.

At Kohler's Block, on Seventh, near Chester, the Second Presbyterian has its place of worship, bile at loot) lugntn street, two aoors from Chester, a store is neatly and appropriately fitted up for the St. Andrew's Episcopal Mission. Thus is afforded to persons of different religious tastes an tne advantages of diversified devotion.

1 The San Jom Mercury, in an article reflecting upon tb management of the Stat Prison, prefers charge to the effect that the institution ia mismanaged -by an inoumpetent man, wb.6 clones the ear of the 'Directors to tht complaints uttered agaiost'him by presenting them with costly cabinets, elegant harness, and gift of various kinds, made by prison labor. The Mercury then says: It is well known that aa a bid for the office of Warden, Mr. Atnea wsjvel all constita. tional right or prerogative to the appointment of subordinates, extfcpt for the one position of gatekeeper. But he might as well have nail the appointment wholly in hi own hind; for be baa succoeted iu hi tyrannical and overbearing conduct in making tho position of some of the bst appointees of the' Directors simply unbearable, and they have com pelled to resi0, Jeavma him to till tbeir places with men of bis owu selection.

OTIIEa dlABOKS. The charges that are openly made gainst the Warden are manifold, not the feast of which ia that he ia almost continually under the influence of liquor, at which times he is abusive and tyrannical in the extreme. That he ia mer-canary, withholding from oavicts whose terms have' expired, a portion of the pittance wed by the State, and also withholding moneys taken from them npon their entrance to the prison, to which they are Justly entitled upon their discharge. It was also said that the gate money, that was hitherto applied in way to improve the minds and morals of the convicts is, under Ames' management, unaoconated for. His private clerk, who is a convict, it allowed- the privilege of leaving the prison at his pleasure, and is not to comply with the prison rules in the matter of uniform; and that he hai been known to return from Han iU'ael late at night in an intoxicated condition, and without reproof from the Warden.

In fact it ia aaid that he openly claims to know too mncb of Amen management to make it prudent for that gentleman to reprove him for any delinquency. aUeoed ishcmanity. That the moral inatrnctor, (Jammings, a worthy old gentleman of about 70 years, it constantly anbjected by the Warden to the most abusive treatment, and threatened frequently with personal chastisement. One excellent workman, on whoae behalf the Warden had promised intercede for a pardon, for faithful service and good conduct, and whom he had also promised to furnish a chest of tools upon bis discharge, was not only deceived in the matter of a pardon, as he was needed on work for the Directors, and waa also sent adrift without his tools. Another 'convict, nnder his orders, was kept for over sixteen months in the dark dnngeon, simply because he refused to work nnder a contractor who had cheated him.

Another convict, in delicate health, was confined in a dungeon until he became a gibbering maniac. pTltflO or THE ItEf'OKD CirfOX. A representative of the Jterord-Union visited San Quentin immediately after publication of the charges, and-after a thorough and searching Inquiry in every direction, arrives at the following con elusions; It is evident, from the statements made, that two parties exist, or have exiated, amonir the officers of the prison one consisting of Dr. Cary and l'rof. Cummings, and the other of Warden Ames and hia officers, so far as interviewed, with the possible exception 'of Captain Perkins, who was rather non-j committal, which would Probably be considered as leaning in favor of the opposition.

The charge of drunkenness may be left to the prepooder-anca of evidence. The charges relative to tinancial matters seem to be satisfactorily answered by the account of the prison. The charges in connection with the private convict clerk are denied by Mr. Ellis, who is an independent officer, and his employer, Mr. Cumming, says nothing, but gives the impression I that he might say a great deal telative to the general administration of.

THS WARDEN'S Many improvements have been carried out, which may receive future consider ation, not being strictly germane to the investigation, and it ia understood in a general way that he forthcoming report of the Warden will show an improvement in the direction of rendering the prison self-support, It- was noticeable that the Warden visited the several departments of the prison, mingling freely with the oon riots; that while entirely respectful in their, demeanor towards him, there was an evidence of confidence, and what might perhaps be considered. degree of cordiality in their, intercourse with him, which tends to disprove the reports ol harsh and tyrannical conduct on his part. aa so mm dr.

caky. 1 Some weight may be due to Dr. Caryls statement, that the officers' of the prison cannot be expected' to speak disparagingly of the Warden, owing to their relations with him. On the other hand. there was an apparent natural heartiness in the expressions, which went far to in duce a belief in their sinceriMfc ur.

At breakfast at the lllard House, the names of Hugh Gardner and Colonel. Erhardt were n.entioned in connection with the Marshalship. After breakfast I went to the White House with the Postmaster-General and the President asked who would be a good man for the Marshalship of New York.

I said I couldn't tell. He asked about Knox. I said it would be an excellent appointment. He asked me to see Knox at Arlington. I did so, but Knox insisted that he would not give up his profession for the position.

Then Gardner's and Erhardt's names were again mentioned, and I suggested Strahan. I went back to the White House and suggested his name to' them, but he did not know Strahan. After talking awhile, I sent that tele gram to Strahan, and met him at the club. I asked him if I could use his name for Marshal. Strahan said, Do you know whether Conkling or Piatt are to be candidates?" I said, No." He said, Where are you in this fight?" I said, With the President" He said he did not know whether either would be a candidate, but he did not want to be embarrassed.

Could the offer be held open until after the Senatorial fight?" I aaid, "I must have an immediate answer. Uf course be would be expected to oppose Conkling and Piatt. He then wanted to consult with Judge Gordon and then answer in the morning. which he did, and the answer was that he couldn't accept.

They were riding ia a covered wagon of the old "croas-the-plains" style, which was drawn by a team consisting of an aged mule and a small aore-backed horse. Potts, kettles, pans, bedding and a motley array of camping utensils comprised the outfit. The woman drove up Broadway to Fifteenth street and turned into the vacant Bray ton property to take a rest.

She gave her name as Matilda Brady, from Oneida county. New York, and asked if anyone could tell where a man named Allan Brady lived. The two or three parties who were gazing with curiosity at the queer onttit and more queerly- dressed children, had not heard of such a man.

He had written two letters to her after reaching Virginia City, and in the last stated that he could not find any work where he was, and should leave for Arizona or California at the first favorable opportunity.

That letter was dated in September, and since then Mrs. Brady has not heard from her husband. She had been in Virginia City, but could not find any trace of him there. At Sacramento ahe learned that a man named Brady, answering to the description she gave of her husband, had worked in a livery sta ble in that city in 1878, and had gone to the bay in JJeceuioer of that year. He bad failed to return, and someone had reported that he had opened a feed and boarding stable in this city.
