Billy Nugent, a brother of Jack Nu- gent, manager of the Fashion theatre, and who was shot in the jaw by one Jack Kiley on the morning of July 5, on Fourteenth street near Jackson, died at his home, corner of Ninth and Davenport streets, last evening at ten minutes past 7 o'clock. The remains were removed to the undertaking establishment of Drexel & Maul on ¥arnam street, where the coroner's inquest will be held at 10 o'clock, For the past two or three days Nugent has been in much physical as well as mental agony, and it was apparent to his friends that his end was not far distant. The lodgment place of Kiley's fatal bul- lot has never been satisfactorily located by the physicians, but that 1t reached a vital spot has now been conclusively proven. 5 Kiley was seen 1n his cell at the jail Iast night by a BEE reporter and was much perturbed over ‘the death of Nugent. He expressed deep regret over the whole wretched aflair, and said he was sorry for poor Billy and his friends. He retold the story of the shooting, ad- hering to all the points detailed in the EE the m shooting, and diligently ctual shoot- ng was o ent; that he struck Nugent with his gun and it went off' by the concussion of the blow. WHICH ONE SHALL IT BE? A Dispute Over a Position as Block ‘Watchman. A lively dispute is now in progress be- tween Jerry Driscoll and Jerry Murphy, both of whom claim the right to belblock watchmen in the territory bounded by Twelfth, Douglas, Farnam aud Four- teenth streets. Two weeks ago Murphy, after a vacalion of several weeks, re- turned to duty in the bleck and notified subscribers that he was the watchman and that Driscoll had no right there. He said he had given up the beat to Driscoll with the understanding that when he re- turned he was to have his old place. Driscoll, however,collected the fees as he had been doing. Each parades his beat nightly, and claims that the other is usurpinfi authority. Just what the out- come will be it 18 hard to determine, but certain it is that between the two of them the block should be thoroughly guarded. bombnk b it A Base Ball King. 8an Francisco Chronicle: Califorma has beaten Kentucky in horses and has beaten all the other states at various times in anything she has set her mind to, but it remained for the year 1887 to see a California boy beat the worlc at the national game of base ball, George Edward Van Haltren was born in St. Loms, Mo., May 80, 1865, but come to California with his family in 1869 when but four years old, and has resided in Oakland ever since; so his seventeen years residence in California certainly entitles him to be called a Calitornian. He was educated at the Prescott grammar school in Oakland, and went through with part of the high school course, when he left his studies to give his entire attention to the game that has since made him fa- mous. At school he was a steady scholar and was remarkable for that quickness that has always marked him on the “aia- mond.” He first showed his fondness for the ame when “but a little boy,” and so evi- ent was his aptitude for it that even in the boys’ clubs to which he belonged it seemed only proper to give him the cap- taincy, and he has always been captain of every amateur club of which he was a member. His firet connection with base ball as a professional player was in the winter of 1884, when he played with the Kmeralds, of Oakland, as cwtcher. He was captain of the nine, and when the Emeralds were merzed into the Greenhood & Morans in the spring of 1885, he occupred a similar position, still playing behind the bat. 1t it had not been for an accident Van Haltren might still have been playing all over the field, which he was compelled to do about the middle of the 1885 season on account of his sore hands; but in the spring of 1880, Gurnett, tha pitcher of the Greenhood & Morans, was found to be incompetent as a pitcher against pro- fessional nines, and Van Haltren being the only man who could take the place, he was tried, and distinguished himself egainst the Knickerbockers, since which time he has been 1n the box in every game he has played. His particular achievements have been where, 1n two games of the California state league he pitched two games, hold- ing his opponents down to tive hits in each game, and in the first game with the Haverlys he struck three men out in one inning on nine pitcned balls. Ina subsequent game he struck out nineteen during the game. By this time he had acquired a na- tional reputation, and at their earnest solicitation, he signed with the Pitts- burgs in i‘abrusr_v of this year, but the ililness of ~ his mother in- duced him to ask for a release. Accordingly the Pittsburgs released him to the Chicagos in April. The illness of his mother continued, however, and on May 80 he met with the sad afflic- tion of her death, shortly aftcr which he left for Chicago. é With this bereavement still fresh upon his mind, it is easy to understand the cause of his reported despondency after his first game at Chioago, but he has overcome that, and has played n every fame since, covering himself and Cali- fornia with glory. il ARSI An Fngineer's Bravery. Boston Herald: Leorard J. Gordon, a well-known engineer on the Concord rail- road, met with a serious accident a_short distance north of Goff’s Falls, N. H., Tuexday morning. He was running the way freight, and when at the point desig- nated the front trucks under a carloaded with lumber broke loose, which resulted in its being scattered over the tracks. The accident had no sooner happened than it flashed through Engineer Gor- don's mind that the northward-bound express was then due. To think was to act, and, at once reversing his engine, he ran to the front end and seoured the red flag. Hethen jumped to the ground, but in doing so his overalls caught on the flagstafl ana he fell heavily, striking hie back on a rail. He regained his feet, however, and making his way down tne track, succeeded in stopping the train ust 1n time to prevent its collision with he timber, and thus prevented what would undoubtedly have been a serious disaster. The train was a long one, and nearly every car was crowded to the doors, an1 the result of an accident to the train would have been most appall- fog. Enxmear Gordon was taken oo board the express and carried io his home 1in Concord, where medical aid was sum- moned, The attending physician is con- fident that no bones are broken, but ow- ing to the condition of the injured man the thorough examination was postponed until to-day. e Taxpayers of the Second Ward, You are hereby notified thatan ad. journed meeting of the citizens of said ward will be held at the northwest cor. 16th and Williams sts on the evening of July 18th, at 8'clock, to protest against the action of tho county commissioners in their contemplated action of raising the assessed valuation of said ward 50 per cout.

LABOR NOTES. The Carpenters Organizing to Pro- . vent Strikes. The Carpenter’s Union 1s using every effort to discipline its men in such a way that all questions arising between the masters and their employes may be set- tled thout the necessity of having recourse to a strike. Since the begin- ning of the recent difficulties a large number of new men have joined the nion and it is claimed that the organ- ation is growing in strength daily, There 1s some probality that the differ- ences between W. Rosenbery and his men will be settled this evening at § o'clock, that being the time appointed for the contractor to give his final ans- wer. Apart from recent troubles the men spoke highly of Mr. Rosenbery as an employer and stated that they were all ready to work when the nine hour system was agreed to. A serious accident occured at Rosenberg’s mills yesterday when a young man who had been employed car- rying lumber was ‘pm to work at a plan- ing machine, and allowing his hund to come in too close contact with the knife a serious wound was inflicted. The other principal contractord' who e not yot adopted the nine hogrd system are Sam Stevenson, J. Kounstan, M. T. Murphy and Andrew Moyer." Of these, the two last named signed the nine hours agree- ment, but have not livéd up to it. With a view to carrying out the agreement al- ready urrived at the whion has requested the contractors to hand in the names of all men employed by’ them, together with the amount of wages Which each man is considered to be worth, In this way the grading system will be placed on a more satisfactory basis and the union will be in a position to furnish just such men to the contractors as they require. The Painters. There is no new develonment in the painters’ strike. The' men continue to hang around at the’meeting place on Douglas street Micawbcrlike, *‘waiting for something to turn up.”’ So far the men have been well supported, and as yet show no tendency towards giving way. Assaulted His Wife, Paul Stein, a constable who lives on Howard street near St. Philomenn ca- thedral, was placed under arrest last night upon complaint of his wife, and was registered at central station for as- sault and battery. He was afterwards released on $25 bail for appearance. Stein says he and his wife were wrestlinfi and that she fell against a doorway an cut her head. —_——— THE NUDE IN COURT, Some Works of Art Reviewed and Criticized by a Judge. The New York World's correspondent at Portland, Me., says: ‘‘The nude in art question came before Judge Gould, of the municipal court, this moruning and for « time the zloomy old court house was transformed into a picture gallery. A score or more of fine vaintinge, repro- ductions of the masterpieces os the Paris salon, were arranged about the court room on chairs and benches. The ictures were brought in by Mr, Stubbs, an art dealer, as eyi- dence that the complaint against him for exhibiting immoral pictures in his win- dows was unfounded.- The pictures were uearly all well known subjects and those famitiar to all art critics. George Kim- ball, president of the Law and Order league, undertook the prosecution, but Judge Gonld said he would have no tes- timony since the pictures were in court and could be seen for themselves. The judge then descended from the desk made a pilgrimage about the room and carefullv inspected the pictures with evi- dent appreciation, After he had seen the last one he complimented the taste of the art dealer and dismissed the case, R — His Moral Lecture Not Appreciated. New York Tribune: A fat disciple of vrohibition, with a benevolent counte- nance, a double chin and white high hat, halted on Saturday afternoon in front of lfroun of typical New York newsboys who were resting their bodies on_ the stone steps in front of a store n Park Row and delighting their souis with a few choice brands of cigarette stubs which might have come from Delmounico’s (once upou & time). Looking severely over his gold-rimmed glasses, he addressed a Tag ed urchin in the group: & y, I am sorry to see you forming thia pernicious habit at §o early an age.” The infant thus addrépsed shifted his weed to the other side of his mouth, looked up with a sort of uncasy grin and asked: W “What ’er yer givin' us?" 4 “Never use that filthy stuff. It will soon lead you to worse ,habits and will end you in a drunkard’s grave,” con- tinued the owner of the white hat. “Give us a rest.", rpmarked urchin 0. 2. i m“:.le's Henry Geoffe,” suggested s “With the money y end for tobacco you could buy a 1lr|n@n“!rwun! years,” went on the stern moralist. ‘‘Wouldn't you like to leave the city and live quietly on your own landy” *‘Rata!" sniffed No. 2 contemptuously. ‘‘Say, mister, where did you leave your whiskers?” asked a new comer. By this time a crowd had collected, and a policeman seeing a chance for some “fine work” hastily made his way into the center of the circle. *Come now, move!" he exclaimed sharply, as he poked the fat man in the ribs. The gold-bowed l‘:wtwlun gleamed with righteous indignation, “What do you mean, sir,"” demanded the owner. “None of that now,” exclaimed the brass buttons. “This ain't no lecture hall. Are you going to move? or shall I ran you in®" “I'll report. you, sir,"' gasped the fat man. “1 was only talking to those boys;" but as ho looked for the boys, amaze- ment was depicted on his face. ‘L'hey had every one of them ‘“sloped.’’ Gath- ering his' scattered wits, he decided to t'slope’ also, and moved on while the heartless crowd actually laughed. it A KISSED IN THE CORRIDOR. A Capitol Guide Osculates a Young Girl. The recent rumors of misconduct of Capital Guide Popham, says a Washing- ton letter to the Baltimore Sun, led to action by the authorities, and yesterday morning Mr. John Povham, jr., was con- fronted in the architect’s office of the capitol by Miss Blanche Wakefield, of Annandale, Va., who alleges that while {zuiding her through the capitol he kissed her in one of the corridors. Mr. Popham denied the accusation, and Architect Clark and Sergeant-at-arms Leedom sat in judgment upon the matter. The in- vestigation was involved at the outeet h another matter. [t appears that Miss Wakefield’s father made applica- tion on Friday night to Guide Popham for $060, and “that Popham had given Waketicld a bogus_chec! Miss Wake- field with indignation denied any knowl- edge of this transaction, and her father declared that he desired to avoid pub- licity, as he understood his daughter's picture would be put in the Police Gazette, and he asked Popham for $60 as a loan, because he wanted to visit his dying mother in Onio, and had no money. Miss Wakefield testified that she, with Miss Minnie Thorne, of Pis- catawa, Md., visited the capitol a short time ago, * and that Guiues Pop- ham and Boden came forward to conduct them. She went with Popham and Miss Thorne with Boden. Mr, Popham says the girl said: *‘Let’s draw straws to see which one we'll take.” Afterward she and Popham becamse separated from the other two, and Popham suddenly her in his arms and kissed her. She drew away from him indignantly and soon afterward left the capitol with M Thorne. Theinvestigation was adjourne: in order to procure the attendance of Miss Thorne and get her testimony. pradnddtoi ety One Kind of Shopper. Dry Goods Chronicle: In one of Bos- ton's prominent dry goods establish- ments, while a lady” was making some purchases, suys an exchange, her atten- tion wags called to the following cullofluy between a prospective purchaser and & salesman, The party desiring the goods asked to be shown what she required, and being accommodated n that particu- lar, examined the article deliberately and carefully, and expressed the greatest satisfaction, saying 1t was just exactly what she wanted. Then, turning to the lesman, she asked: “What did you say the price per yard?” Twenty-five cents,’’ came the reply. “Why!'" indignantly exclaimed "the aroused customer, putting the goods trom her with a gesture of contempt, *‘1 don’t want it, then, I want to pay 50 cents a yard,” and she tossed her head in the air and said, “I will go where I can get what I want.” ———— Death of lovernor flobinson, ASHEVILLE, N.

This feeling can be entirely overcome by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which gives new life and strength to all the functions of the body. “I could pot sleep; had no appetite.
