There were the usual post-mortem discolorations, but nothing more. There was nothing unusual in , the case. The post-mor- tem examination was made by Citj- Physician Blach, in presence of Dr. Stivers and other persons, on July 22d, the day following Mrs. Beck's death. External inspection, made fourteen hours after death, showed that the body was well nourished. The only mark discovered was that of a mustard blister on the chest. The lungs and heart were normal ; the liver was enlarged and soft, kidneys en- larged and soft, and spleen softened. The membrane of the stomach was disorganized, and in the center portion was an old ulcer. The brain was soft and congested. Two ounces of serum was found in the cranial cavity. Cause of death, serous apoplexy, superinduced by alcoholism. The records of the Coroner's office show the following entry : Wednesday, July 21, 1550, John Smith reported that a woman died suddenly at No. 14 Clay street, about 6:30 o'clock r. a.

The deceased was buried in the Odd Fellows' Cemetery. Several residents in the vicinity of Klink's saloon assert that about 5 o'clock on the af- ternoon of July 21st last they heard the wo- man Beck roll down stairs. She was very much under the influence of strong drink at the time. She staggered into and through the saloon to the back yard, where she fell. Klink and others went to her aid, but she soon expired.

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DICTATE TO US terms upon which we should do business, and THREATS SIMILAR TO \OURS have been made, but without avail. It seems strange to us, Sir, that you, a Cigar and Tobacco Vendor, should be so interested in the prices of Dry Goods, unless you are in collusion with Dry Goods Firms of your persuasion. YOU ARE MISTAKEN IN YOUR MEN. We shall not enter any combination ; you can't Muff or frighten this firminto doing that which they consider detrimental to the public welfare. We must distinctly state we shall in any and all cases manage our affairs as we deem right and proper, whether it suits you and your firms or not. Should we need assistance in arranging our prices at any time, we have your address. Yours, with due respect, 0. A. HALE & CO.. PER Cklßß. A ¥0101 IE0M THE SACRAMENTO HOUSE : .It would be a work of superoragation for us to rise and explain. The gentle- man's letter is a true index of what he and the combination would effect, had they the power, and this move of the Clique is a perfect Clock Face, with dexters indicating what the price of Dry Goods would be had they the control of the inside running. It is apparent, from the reluctancy they manifest in relinquishing their hold on the one item (Spool Cotton), how firmlythey would rivet the chains and perpetuate a bondage, no matter how withering in its effects, if by so doing the said combination can corral a few extra coins ; but itis the determination of nALE BROS, to cut right at the root of this evil. We have done it in other cities, and let the Clique plot as they will,and hold their secret sessions as they may, yet will we checkmate them. This coalition of the trade is nothing new, excepting the person persona. We have been assailed . and persecuted in every town where our RADICAL FLAG has been unfurled. We have been solicited to join combinations. We have been cajoled and threatened by turns — sweet molasses and the fiercest invective have been used alternately ;but rather than partake of their sugar-coated pills, be cowed by their threats, or coerced by any tactics of such Cliques, the HALE FLAG shall sink with the shot-torn wreck, but never be unfurled as the Combination Colors. But, gentlemen of the combination, we wish you to distinctly understand us. We are not to be extinguished ;we have never yet said " Fail"in any of our enterprises — it argues well then that our business must be built on the principle of " Right," and we hold this principle as the mainspring of all our endeavors. There is another view we may take of this matter : We consider we aro free agents, and as such we opine we can give our goods away if we choose, and we say right here that our combined capital is such that we can well afford to give, if the object of our charity is worthy, or if we feel likeit — but our system of working ie, that it distributes the good broadcast, byplacing our chattels on such a low scale that all who will may profit. Willthe reader kindly follow us a little further 1 Whether the organ (which Phrenologists designate "Causality!") has been fully developed in the writer of the threatening letter, we leave the public to decide. We think his appreciation of Cause and Effect must be somewhat limited; in one breath, he proposes through the Agent to tell the people of Sacramento that "no merchant can sell genuine J. & P COATS' SPOOL COTTON, at 50 cents per dozen, without losing money or cheating his customer in other goods." Now, mark the last clause ! Almost in the same breath, he (Mr. Coolot) says: " Allthe merchants here are unanimous to sell it for 50 cents a dozen, if you won't agree to sell it for CO cents, so you see you will not gain anything by doing so." Shades of Lindley Murray! We trust there are no Spiritualistic Mediums mean enough to disturb your rest. Bat what will the public think of the principle this last clause in their letter embodies : First—They tell you that we arc m losing money by selling certain goods at 50 cents per dozen, or cheating the customer in other goods ; but if we, HALE BROS. & CO., do not accede to the combination request, that they (the Combination) will place themselves on the same footing, to wit, "lose money or cheat the customer." Here our pity and charity would fain throw the mantle of Mercy over the propagation of such a doctrine ; but, in self-preservation, and as a duty we owe to the public, we hereby expose the rottenness of such a propaganda. Just one word more and we have done. Why don't the Combination assail us on the price of other goods ? They know that we are leading them all along the line. Why not admit the fact, and complete the suicide ? The public know it anyhow, and from the vast and increased patronage we are receiving they appreciate it, and seem de- termined to assist the house that has worked such a radical change in the prices of Dry Goods. We are somewhat surprised at the course our esteemed friend, Mr. Coolot, has thought fit to take ; but we presume, and are willingto think that he has simply been used as a Figure-head by the intrigues of the Combination ; for we cannot possibly think that ft gentleman of Mr. Coolot's experience, and who has waxed fat upon the people of Sacramento for the past twenty-four years, should wish to stint his patrons to four or five spools of Cotton for 25 cents, when our house is willing to give them six. We may conclude this by assnring our friend, Mr. Coolot, that if he, or any mem- ber of the Combination will lead off in price any article of Dry Goods, that we will most assuredly follow — providing we are not already ahead. We are informed, Mr. i Coolot, that you are rich ; if so, believe us, sir, that tho waving plume bends more gracefully, and the jeweled hand sparkles brighter, when beckoning an oppressed people to Progress and to Power ; and itis the privilege and province of those t« whom Providence has been bountiful, to sit in the "Gates of the City," and dispense some , what of what God hath blessed thorn.

—Tele-
graphic dispatches from New York andPhiladelphia, received here last night, makeserious charges against a man named ThomasKlink,doing business at No. 16 Clay streetin this city. Inquiry to-day resulted inshowing the following facts :Deputy CoronerWheeler, who saw the body a short time afterdeath, says that he discovered no :arks ofviolence. There were the usual post-mortemdiscolorations, but nothing more. There wasnothing unusual in,the case. The post-mor-tem examination was made by Citj-PhysicianBlach, in presence of Dr. Stivers and otherpersons, on July 22d, the day followingMrs.Beck's death. External inspection, madefourteen hours after death, showed that thebody was well nourished. The only markdiscovered was that of a mustard blister onthe chest. The lungs and heart were normal ;the liver was enlarged and soft, kidneys en-larged and soft, and spleen softened. Themembrane of the stomach was disorganized,and in the center portion was an old ulcer.The brain was soft and congested. Twoounces of serum was found in the cranialcavity. Cause of death, serous apoplexy,superinduced by alcoholism. The records ofthe Coroner's office show the followingentry:
Wednesday, July 21, 1550, John Smith reportedthat a woman died suddenly at No. 14 Clay street,about 6:30 o'clock r. a. Body removed to theMorgue. Identified as Elizabeth Klink by her hus-band, Thomas O.Klink. Postmortem examinationby City Physician lllach, July 22d. Coroner Dorrgave certificate- of death ivaccordance. Anative ofGermany, aged be, years. House* ife.
The records of the Health OfLce show thatthe certificate of burial was given July 24,ISBO, by Coroner Dorr. The record showsthe name of the deceased to be ElizabethKlink, aged 31 years, 10 months and 5 days,a native of Germany. The cause of thedeath is given as serous apoplexy (alcohol-ism). The deceased was buried in the OddFellows' Cemetery.
Several residents in the vicinity of Klink'ssaloon assert that about 5 o'clock on the af-ternoon of July 21st last they heard the wo-man Beck roll down stairs. She was verymuch under the influence of strong drink atthe time. She staggered into and throughthe saloon to the back yard, where she fell.Klinkand others went to her aid, but shesoon expired. A friend of the family in-formed an attorney of this city of Germanbirth that the girl was very anxious to gohome toPhiladelphia. He took an interest
'
in her welfare and called upon CharlesCrocker for a pass for her. Their conferenceresulted in the raising of $31 75 by the attor-ney for her benefit, with which a half-farethrough ticket was purchased, and she wasforwarded incharge of a gentleman who wasgoing on a visit to friends in Pennsylvania.

interested inthe welfare of your business in this city, you willnot be inthe way offixingthe prices of COATS' SPOOL THKEADto GO cents per dozen inthis city. Whenall other merchants agree, Ibelieve it to be nothing but right and just to Bell Threadnot for less than cost price. Ireceived the following:for publication, incase anyonepersisting to sell COATS' THREAD for 50 cents a dozen : fff.
[cory.]"Office of Kittlek Co., Etc., Etc., )
San Francisco, Augnst 13, 1880. \MR. A. COOLOT, Sacramento
—Dear Sir: Nomerchant can sell Genuine J. &P.
COATS' SPOOL COTTON at Fifty Cents per dosen, withoutlosing money or cheatinghis customers in other goods. Yours, truly, KITTLE& CO.,"
Agents for J. & P. Coats on the Pacific coast."
You are respectfully requested to consider this matter, and inform me and yourhouse in Sacramento of your approval, so as to prevent the publication of the foregoingnotice. With great considerations, yours truly, A. COOLOT, :
(A.L.C.)P. S.
—Allthe merchants here are unanimous to sell it for 50 cents a dozen ifyou
won't agree to sell it for GO cents, so you see you willnot gain anything by doing so.This implies only in the city of Sacramento.
'HATiiE «S5 ____P".f"> REPLY.
San Jose (Cal.), August IS, ISSO.ME. A. COOLOT, Sacramento, Cal.— Sir :Yours of the 14th instant at hand, and
"with great consideration/ contents noted. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIMEATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADETO DICTATE TO US terms upon which weshould do business, and THREATS SIMILAR TO \OURS have been made, butwithout avail. It seems strange to us, Sir, that you, a Cigar and Tobacco Vendor,should be so interested in the prices of Dry Goods, unless you are in collusion withDry Goods Firms of your persuasion. YOU ARE MISTAKEN INYOUR MEN.We shall not enter any combination ;youcan't Muffor frighten this firminto doing thatwhich they consider detrimental to the public welfare. We must distinctly state weshall in any and allcases manage our affairs as we deem right and proper, whether itsuits you and your firms or not. Should we need assistance in arranging our prices atany time, we have your address.
Yours, with due respect, 0. A. HALE &CO..PER Cklßß.
A ¥0101 IE0M THE SACRAMENTO HOUSE :.It would be a work of superoragation for us to rise and explain. The gentle-
man's letter is a true index of what he and the combination would effect, had they the
power, and this move of the Clique is a perfect Clock Face, with dexters indicating
what the price of DryGoods would be had they the control of the inside running. It
is apparent, from the reluctancy they manifest in relinquishing their hold on the one
item (Spool Cotton), how firmlythey wouldrivet the chains and perpetuate a bondage,
no matter how witheringinits effects, ifby so doing the said combination can corral a
few extra coins ;but itis the determination of nALE BROS, to cut right at the root
of this evil. We have done it in other cities, and let the Clique plot as they will,and
hold their secret sessions as they may, yet willwe checkmate them. This coalition of
the trade is nothing new, excepting the person persona. We have been assailed .and
persecuted inevery town where our RADICAL FLAG has been unfurled. We have
been solicited to joincombinations. We have been cajoled and threatened by turns—
sweet molasses and the fiercest invective have been used alternately ;but rather than
partake of their sugar-coated pills,be cowed by their threats, or coerced by any tactics
of such Cliques, the HALE FLAG shall sink with the shot-torn wreck, but never be
unfurled as the Combination Colors. But, gentlemen of the combination, we wish you
to distinctly understand us. We are not to be extinguished ;we have never yet said"Fail"in any of our enterprises —it argues well then that our business must be built
on the principle of"
Right," and we hold this principle as the mainspring of all our
endeavors. There is another view we may take of this matter :We consider we aro
free agents, and as such we opine we can give our goods away if we choose, and we say
right here that our combined capital is such that we can well afford to give, if the
object of our charity is worthy, or if we feel likeit—but our system of working ie, that
it distributes the good broadcast, byplacing our chattels on such a lowscale that allwho
willmay profit. Willthe reader kindly followus a little further 1 Whether the organ
(which Phrenologists designate "Causality!") has been fully developed in the writer
of the threatening letter, we leave the public to decide. We think his appreciation of
Cause and Effect must be somewhat limited; in one breath, he proposes through the
Agent to tellthe people of Sacramento that "no merchant can sell genuine J. & P
COATS' SPOOL COTTON, at 50 cents per dozen, without losing money or cheating
his customer in other goods." Now, mark the last clause ! Almost in the same breath,
he (Mr. Coolot) says:"
Allthe merchants here are unanimous to sell it for 50 cents a
dozen, ifyou won't agree to sell it for CO cents, so you see you willnot gain anything
bydoing so." Shades of Lindley Murray! We trust there are no Spiritualistic
Mediums mean enough to disturb your rest. Bat what will the public think of the
principle this last clause in their letter embodies :First—They tell you that we arcm
losing money by selling certain goods at 50 cents per dozen, or cheating the customer
inother goods ;but if we, HALE BROS. & CO., do not accede to the combination
request, that they (the Combination) willplace themselves on the same footing, to wit,
"lose money or cheat the customer." Here our pityand charity would fain throw the
mantle of Mercy over the propagation of such a doctrine ;but, in self-preservation, andas a duty weowe to the public, we hereby expose the rottenness of such a propaganda.
Just one wordmore and we have done. Why don't the Combination assail us on theprice of other goods ? They know that we are leading them all along the line. Why
not admit the fact, and complete the suicide ? The public know it anyhow, and from
the vast and increased patronage we are receiving they appreciate it, and seem de-
termined to assist the house that has worked such a radical change inthe prices of Dry
Goods. We are somewhat surprised at the course our esteemed friend, Mr. Coolot, hasthought fit to take;but we presume, and are willingto think that he has simply been
used as a Figure-head by the intrigues of the Combination ;for we cannot possibly
think that ft gentleman of Mr. Coolot's experience, and who has waxed fat upon the
people of Sacramento for the past twenty-four years, should wish to stint his patrons
to four or five spools of Cotton for 25 cents, when our house is willingto give them
six. We may conclude this by assnring our friend, Mr. Coolot, that ifhe, or any mem-
ber of the Combination willlead off in price any article of Dry Goods, that we will
most assuredly follow—
providing we are not already ahead. We are informed, Mr.i
Coolot, that you are rich; if so, believe us, sir, that tho waving plume bends more
gracefully, and the jeweled hand sparkles brighter, when beckoning an oppressed
people toProgress and to Power ;and itis the privilege and province of those t« whom
Providence has been bountiful, to sit in the "Gates of the City,"and dispense some,what of what God hath blessed thorn. (Signed),
