Tillson eaiu that when the mayor accused him of accepting the dictation of the republican party he told a lie , aud knew that ho was an infamous liar when uttering the false hood. Kalloch said that he did not propose to pay any police court fines. I Tillson rctoitcd tint while ho was not t so glib of speech as the mayor , ho was his equal in honesty and physically , and as to police court fiues , it shonld not cost anybody a cent to try conclu sions with him ; lie would sign a paper that the aid of the police court would not be invoked. Murphy rebuked Tillson for such language to a minister of the gospel , when Kalloch inter posed and said that ho was not there as a minister but as an official and could take care of his own fights. Murphy said to Tillson that such lan guage in his state would have called tor bloodshed. Till on sneeringly ro- plicd : "Tho county I came from marches through your state aud back again. " An adjournment was then ta ken without the transaction of any business. Dunn , before the meeting had adjourned , called to Registrar Thorp aud siid that if any man im puted fraud to him ho would denounce him in public as a liar.

The Evening Post publishes the following : Totb KJltoh b ! tte Erening Poit : I have just aeon your dispatch from n Francisco about gold in solutiqn in Ctlistoga Spring- , and about the prospector's having extracted 8iOGO in gold of the utmost fineness from ten barrels of water during the past fort night , by a process known only by himself. This will surp'ristS mnlly bf your roailcr/j but it does hot surprise inn , for J onoo oWned those springs myself. Whftt dots surprise mo , however , is the falling off in richness of the wutor. In my time , the yield was 81 A dippOr full. I'm not saying thia to injures the proprietor , I'm say ing it in t\iO interest of history. It may be that this hotel proprietor's process is an inferior one. Yes , that may be the fault I Mine was to take my Hilda I had an extra Uncle at that time , on account of his parents' dying and leaving him on my hands and till him up and let him stand fif teen minutes to give the water a fchance to settle. Well , then I inserted - sorted him in an exhausted receiver , which had the effect of stiokinvt gold out through hia popes. I have taken more than 511,000 out of that old man in a day and a hulf. I should have held ou to thosesprinsrs but f-ir the badness of the roads nnd the difllculty of getting gold tb market. I consider gold yielding water , in many respects , remarkable , and yet no more so than the gold bearing air of Catgut Canyon up there toward the head of the auriferous range ; Thia atr , or thia wind , for it is a kind of trade wind which blows steadily down six hun dred milca of rich quartz cropp'ings during all hour and a quarter every day , except Sunday ? , is heavily loaded wi'h exquisitely fine , impalpable gold. Nothing precipitates and sol idifies this gel so readily as contact n ilh human flesh heated by passion. The time that William Abraham was disappointed in love , he used to step out doon > ) when the wind was blow ing , and come in a'rain and begin to sigh and sigh , and hi ? brother and I would extract over § 1 50 ouc of every sigh ; and ho sighed right along. And the time that John Hodison and Aleck Norton quarreled about Hodi son's doj , they stood there Swearing at each other all they knew and what they didn't know aboilt swearing they couldn't learn from you and mo , not by a good deal and at the end of three or four minutes they had to stop ttnd make dividends ; if they did not make them , their jaws would clog up , so that they couldn't get the big nine syllable oaths out at all.

EQUINE ECLIPSE , Maud S. Beats all Horseflesh , Making the Best Time on Record. ; peHil Dispatch to The Bee. Cilic'Auo , September 17 la. in. Maud S. made her second appearance before the Chicago public yesterday afternoon , and eome five thousand people wore at Jocky Club park to ace her. The heats were sandwiched be tween those of the other races. She was in faultless condition and the weather and track were good , the only drawback being a strong southwest wind , which retarded speed on the home stretch. In the first heat the little mare broke several times and thora was a murmurof disappointment at the slow time made When the judges announced ' ' 2:2Gl : , " there was a roar of derisive laughter from the crowd. On the second trial , Msud had a fine send-off , and shot away as smooth and steady aa an arrow. ThorO was not a break or change in her speed until near the finish , when the crowd , which had been watching her with breathless interest , rose up and gave a deafening cheer at her aplondid per- firmance. This evidently startled the little mare and caused her to break badly. About a second before she I cime under the wire , one man , wto held a stop watch near the judge's stand , said her time was 2:09 : ; another said it was 2:10i : , and there was con siderable difiorenca of opinion , or , rather , a lamentable want of accuracy in their methods of timing a race. But all agreed that Maud S. had made remarkable time. It was whispered through the crowd that she had beat en the best time and the jockeys , who had gathered in knots on the track , threw up their hats and shouted. It took tl'u judges a long time to make up their minds what her time was , or , at least , they were in no hurry to an nounce it. Finally it was given offi cially as 2lli : and there was another cbeor at which , however , the aelf-ap- pointed timers , who had made It one or two seconds less shrugged their shoulders nnd said "it wouldn't ' do to have Maud S. beat St. Julien. " The general vordlnt was that if shehad not bvpkenattho first , her official time ould bava been lowered a quar ter of a second , and , doubtless , if she had not had to face the wind on" the homo stretch , her record to-day would be 2:11 : , the beat time over made by hone flesh. The quarters of her 2:11 mile were made as follows : First quarter , 331 ; second , 41J ; third , 32J ; fourth , 34j. The first quarter was at the rate of a mile in 2:13 ; second 2:05 , : ; third , 2:09 ; fourth , 2:19. The slowest quarter was the oto that should have been the fastest ; or , at least , fully as fast as the third , which would have brought , her record down to 2:09. : Good judges say she would have done this had it not been for the reaaona , first , that she had to face a strong windajl the way on the last quarter ; second , that , through some fault of driver Bair , she owerved about the middle of that quar ter ; third , that she broke just bafore the finish. J3owoTerv ? he bet her own ' record and Capt. SJone , her man ager ! , declined to allojr her to trot again. f Until this announcement , the crowd had waited , expecting aho would Clb given another trial to beat St. Jul iets time. -jj The other events wore a 2:30 : race won by Calamus , MarvlMiller second ; J. W. Thomas third. ITimo,1 ; 2:27 , 2:27jf : and 2:20L A 2:50 : race was won by Kate Spntgue H52:28 : , 2:2GJ : , and 2:24. : Douald wonjthe first heat in 2:26 : and took second money. JEMTS.
