TERRY'SRED-HANDED CAREER A Forty-niner Tells of the Judge's Bloody Work. HOW HE MURDERED BRODERICK. Full Description of the Famous and Fatal Ducl—Baker's Remarkable Funeral Oration Over the Benator's Bier. A Lafe For a Life. SAN FRANCIECO, August 14, —[Special Telegram to THE BEE.]—There is noth- ing talked ahout on the const to-day ex- cept the killing of Judge Terry. When the news of the shooting reached San Francisco it caused the greatest excite- ment and all the papers issued huge special oditions containing every detail of the bloody occurrence which could be secured. Judge Terry was probably the best-known man in the state, but his tragic end called forth comparatively little regret. He was unpopular both with the masses and with the classes, but the few friends he did huve were warm ones. For the past few yeurs he had been before the pubiic only as one of the principals in the Shuron-Hill cuse, and the record he made in earlier days had become almost a reminiscence. 8Sull there are a few of the old settlers who remember the stormy career of the judge during the days of the vigilance committee and the period of the slavery agitation, An old ’49er, who was present at the fatal meeting between Judge Terry and Senator Broderick in 1859, to-day told me the story of that bloody duel and the incidents preceding it. A bitter campaign hud just been waged in the state, with Senator Brod- erick the leading figure on the one side and Judge Terey as his prineipal opponent. ‘The great issue was the slavery question. Broderick, although a demoorat, opposed the extension of slavery. while Terry was the leader of what was known as the chivalry branch of the democratic party. During the campaign personalities were indulged in, but. ft was not until the close of the struggle that Judge Terry issued the fatal challenge. David C. Broderick, the victim of Terry, was born in Washington, D. C., and was first known in New York as a good stonemason and a leader among the somewhat unruly firemen who made the caity a turbulent piace forty-five ears ago. Gifted with certain rude lorce, he won the affections and esteem of the volunteer firemen and roughs, who were such a powerful element in New York in the old days. The men whom he controlled were rougher than he, but among them believed, feared and trusted. = His personal and magoetism were marvelous, and there was no storm so violent that he could not ride upon it, no exigency so trying that he could not cope with it. He rose to be chief eng! neer in the days when that oftice gave its incumbent nbsolute sway over a great mass of willful and almost lawless men. He had a natural turn for politics, and, fascinated by his success while supported t‘:{y the suffrages of the firemen of New ork, ha.ran for congress in 1846 and was defeated. Soon after this d Enintmeuh the California gold fe roke out, and he sailed for the new Kl Dorado of the Pacific, where, in the wild struggle for place and power, he made himself felt. In wild, uneasy Cal- ifornia was his congenial element. Broderick, warm, generous, brave, bold and indomitable, led manfully in that unique battle of life. Brodérick was eleoted senator in the first legislature, and his hand was often heavy on the lawless mén who again and again at- tempted to bring chaos into the state. In 1856 he wus elected to the United States senate. His instincts were all against slavery, and he became the oven foe of his colleague, William M. Gwin, then the pro-slavery senator from California. During the mysterious and plotting days of Buchanan’s administra- tion Broderick was the bold and fearless champion of freedom in the territo- ries. He was the trusted friend and sup- porter of Stephen A. Douglas, und when the so-called Lecomption issue came up in congress not even Douglas himself was more scornful and emphatic in his denunciation of it than Broder- ick. The enormous patronage of the young state of California was given to Gwin, who, during the late rebellion, received the dukedom of Senora from Maxmilian, wus in favor of Jefferson Davis, and was finally eap- tured and 1mmured in Fort Lafayette, Broderick was to be got rid of. It was said that a caucus of his political ene- mies washeld in San Francisco to decide who should challenge him to fight a duel. David S, Terry, who was fixed w to send the chulfeugc. was from ntucky, and was an accomplished duelist, while Broderick was only not a duelisy, but not even a good shot with the pistol, and it is a matter of tradi- tion that Terry was selected to give the obnoxious anti-Lecomption senator his guietus. ‘‘The code’ held sway in Cal- ifornia in theso days. Broderick was proud, sensitive and tenacious of his manly dignity. He went out to the field in the gray of the morning with the fixed consciousuess that he was going to his execution, There were eighty spectators present when the seconds held their conference and the pistols were examined and loaded. haulf dollar was tossed up, and Judge Te; won the choice of weapons. Mr. Hayes, the second of Judge Terry, marked off the ten paces nnd warned the spectators to move back out of the line of fire, Broderick was the coolest man of his party, his sec- onds nppm\nnfiv nervous and ill at ease. Mr. Haskell, his second, after partly untying the senator’s cravat, stepped back and wrung his hands. He lexeu removed the cravat, This incident un- manned Broder! for a moment, Broderick wore a long surtout and had & soft woolen hat drawn down over his brow. Terry was similarly attired, The requirements of the code. were strictly followed. Broderick was searched closely for con- cealed mail, but Mr, McKibben, who was to search Terry, only touched his waistcoat and bowed. Broderick bad by this time lost some of his composure, He was nervous, and twitched at the skirts of his surtout. He aud Terry had taken their positions. Terry stood erect and firm, apgurenlly indifferent to everything but his thoughts, The istols were coclied and they were de- ivered to the principals. The condi- tions wore slowly read and the instruce tions us to the firing given. The men held the weapous muzzle downward. “Gentlemen, are you ready?’ was asked. Broderick replied aftey Terry. saying: “'Iam roady.” “Fire, one —" here was a report from Broderick’s istol, followed in a second by Terry’s, r some reason Broderick’s “pistol ex- loded before it had been brought to a evel. The bullet buried itself in the Eounu athird of the distance short. ad ltrone all the way it would have truck its mark, for it went in & per- otly direct line, couraze The report of Terry's THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1889. pistol had hardly died away when Brod- erick was seen to start. He turned balf way round and grasped at the air as though trylng to récover his balance. His head dropped and he fell flat on his back, his pale face upturned to the sky. Dr. VonLochn, his surgeon, was 100 ag- iated to be of service, The blood spurted from the nator’s wound, and VonLoehn did not seem to know how to stop it. Mr. Brooks, a friend of Terry, finally stepped forward, and in the name of Judge Terry offered the ser- vices of his surgeon, Dr. Hammond, But it was of little use. The ball had entered the right breast and passed through the upper lobe of the left lung. Davis, the owner of the ranch, who had been a silent spectator of the duel, started to his feet as Dr. Hammond began cutting away the clothing from the wound, and shouted excitedly: ‘“That is murder, by God!” He moved toward Terry, but was restrained. It was fortunute that this remark had been heard only by the Broderick Yy for there were plenty of Iriends of Terry there all armed to the teeth, Terry had not moved. His arms were folded with the mu: of a pistol pro- jecting bohind him. He was erect as er, with a look of inquiry upon his face, as though he expected a call for a second shot. His coolness and nerve were remarkuble even in that gather- ing. As he fired he was heard to say HAh! Istruck him a little too high Assured that Broderick’s wound was fatal, he started for his carriage and was followed by his friends. They drove rapidly to San Frane: from there Te went to his r Stockton whence he quiet events. He was arrested on September 28 by two detectives from Sun rancisco and was put under $10,000 bonds, but the case finally went by default. Terry was chief justice of thesupreme court of the state, but resigned that office to fight Broderi Although he escaped all punishment for Broderick’s assassination, he was for some weeks in the hands of the San Francisco vigil- ance committee for stabbing a man med Hopkins. When he finally re- gained his liverty he left the state fora time, and commanded a Texas regiment in the confederate army during the rebellion. Over the bier of Broderick. exposed in one of the open squares of Suu Fran- cisco, Edward D. Baker, the friend of Lincoln and afterward senator and general, and who was killed in the battle of Ball’s Bluff, delivered the fol- lowing funeral oration, which is printed for the first time: A scuator lies dead In our midst. He is wrapped in @ bloody shroud, and we, %0 whom his toils and cares were civen, are about to bear him to the place appointed for all the living. It is not fit that such @ man should pass to the tomb unheralded; it is not fit that such a life should steal unnoticed to ite close; it is not fit that such a death should call forth no rebuke, or be followed by no public lamentation. It is this conviction which impels the gathering of tuis ussem- blage _We are hereof every station and pur- suit, of every creed und chavacter, each in his capacity of citizen, to swell the mournful tribute which the majesty of the people offers 10 the unreplying dead. He lies to-day surrounded by little of funeral pomp. No banuers droop over the bier, no melancholy music floats upon the re- luctant wr. The hopes of high-hearted friends droop like fading flowers upou his breast ana the struggling sigh compels the tear in the eyes that seldom weep. Around him are those who hud known him best and loved him longest; who have shared the tri- umph and endured the defeat. Near him are the greatest and noblest of the state, pos- sessed by a grief atonce earnest and sincere; while beyond,the masses of the people whom he loved, and for whom his life was given, gather like a t under-cloud of swelling and indignant grief. In such a presrnce, fellow-citizens, let us linger for a moment at the portals of the tomb, whose shadowy arches vibrate to the public heart, to_speak a few brief words of thie man, of his life and hisdeath. Up 10 the time of kLis arrival in California, his life had been passed amia events incident to such a churacter. Fearless, self-reliznt, open in his enmities, warm 1n his friendships, wedded to his opinions, and marching directly to, his purpose through and over all opposition, his career was checkered with success and de- feat; but even in defeat his energies were strengthened and his character developed. HIS BOYHOOD. ‘When he reached these shoreshis kesn ob- servation taught him at once that he trod a broad field, and that a higher career was be- fore him, He had no false pride; sprung from a people and of a race whose vocation was lubor, he toiled with his own hands, and sprang at a bound trom the workshop to the logislative hall. From that time there con- gregated around him and against him the ele- ment of success and defeat—strong friend- hips, bitter enmities, high praise, mulignant calumnies—but he trod with a free and proud step that onward path which has led hun to glory and the grave, Fellow citizens | the man whose body li before you was your senator. From the moment of his election his churacter has been malighed, his motives attacked, his courage impeached, his patriotism assailed. It has been a systom tending to ove end. What was his crime! Review his history—consider his public acts —weigh his private character —and, before the grave incloses forever, judge between him ana his enemies : As a mun—to be judged in his private rela- tions—who was his superiori It was his boast, and,amid the general License of a new country, it was a proud one, that his most scrutinizing enemy could fix no single act of immorality upon hun| Temperate, decorou self-restrained, he passed through ‘all the e: citement of California unstained. No man could charge him with a broken faith or vio- lated trust; of hubits siruple and inexpensive. he had no use for gain, He overreached no man’s weukness in a bargain, aud withheld from no man his just dues, = Never in the history of the state has there been @ citizen who hus borne public relations more stain- less in all respects than he. THE CODE A DELUSION, One year ago to day I performed a duty such as I perform to-day over the remains of Senator Ferguson, who aied as Broderick died, tungled in the meshes of the code of honor. To-day there is @ more eminent sacri- fice. To-day I renew my protest; to-day I utter yours. The code of honor is a delusion and a snare; it palters with the hope of a true courage aud binds itat the feet of orafty and cruel siill, It surrounds its victim with the pomp and grace of the procession, but leaves him bleeding on the altar, It is a shield, biuzoned with the name of chivalry to cover the malignity of murder. It substitutes cold and deliberate prepara- tion for courteons and manly impulse, and arms the one to disarm the other, ic may pre- vent fraud between practiced duelists who should be forever without i1ts pule,but it makes the mero ‘‘trick of the weapon” superior to the noblest cause and truest courage. Its pretense of equality is & lie—it is equal in all the form,itis unjust in all the substance—the habitude of arms, the early training, the frontier lite, the border war, the sccuonal custom, the life of leisure, all these are ad- vantages w}nl'uh 00 negotiation can neutral- ize, and which no couiSe can overcome. And now, as the shadow turns toward the east and we prepare to bear these poor re- mgjns to their la * resting place, let us pot seek to repress the generous pride which prompts a recital of noble deed and manly virtues. He rose unaided and alone; he be- gan, without fawily or fortune, in the face of dificulties; he lnherited poverty and ob- scurity; he died a senator 1n congress, having written his name in the history of the great struggle for the rights of the people against the despotism of organization and the cor- ruption of power. ME TRIED TO STAND FIRM, He leaves in the hearts of his friends the tenderest aud proudest recollections. He was honest, faithful, earnest, sincere, generous and brave; he felt in all 'the great crisis of his life that be was & leader 1 the ranks; that it was bis high duty to uphold the inter- ests of Lhe masses: that he could not_ falter. When he returned from the fatal field, while the dark wing of the archangel of death was casting its shadow upon his brow,his greatest wnxiety was as to the performance of his duty. He felt that all his strength and all his life belonged to the cause to which he had devoted them. “Baker,” said he—and to me they were his last wor ‘Baker, when I was struck I tried w stand firm, but the blow blinded wme, and I could not.” I trust it was no shame to my manhood that tears blinded me as he snidjt. Qf his last hour I have no hnM'Hg speak. He was the last of Fis race. ere ‘was no kindred hand to smooth his couch or wipe the death damp from his brow, but around that dying bed strong men,the friends of his early manhood, the devoted adherents of later life, bowed in irrepressible grief, “and hifted up their voices and wept."

A Washington society lady who just roturned from Europe tells n new story on Sara Bernhardt which ought to have the effect of softening the language which some people use in discussing Sara’s critics, says the New York liven- ing World. The Wasnington ludy was a great ad- mirer of the actress, and while in Pa last spring took occasion 10 call on he The Bernhardt sometimes amuses her self painting and modeling. She re- ceived the Washington lady very kindly, and invited her earncstly to call again., After a lapse of a few weeks another visit was made to the actress. She was found very much absorbed in the hall-finished figure of her little model which she had been working at. At the request of the Washington lady, who was anxious to see her at work, she continued working. Aftera while & frisky little spaniel, the pet of Sava, rushed into the room, wagging his tail and panting with delight. The little dog sprang upon the lap of the actress, but she was so much interested in her work that the spaniel did not re- ceive the expected caressing. After the dog had iaterrupted her work by repeating this evidence of affection several times she became very much irritated, and expressed herself with energy in highly seasoned lan- guage. But the little spaniel, not understand- ing, kept on his gambols until Bern- hardt, evidently exasperated. arose with a shriek and with a demoniacal expression on her face, lifted the poor little animal by the loose skin at the back of the neck, and raising the top from a Chonbeschi stove, which stood in the room, thrust the yeiping animal 1n on the hot coals; then shutting the cover down she calmly resumed her work, as_if utterly unconscious of the heartrending cries of her pet, which grew fainter and fainter as he slowly roasted to death. The Washington lady who witnessed this says: **You can 1magine my position. The expression on Sarah’s fice was that of a wild beast hungry for blood. I have never seen any thing like it. But Idid not dare to remonstrate or go to the little dog’s rescue for fear that I might shave a like fate. But I left Sarah’s presence as_rapidly as I could, and you may be sure that I did not revurn.” s e A Pointer—Mr. W. H.

It is one of the few preparations I have found an extensive sale for solely on their merits.” — A PUGILISTIC PREACHER. He Saved a Policeman From a Gang of Tonghs. Shortly before 11 o’clock last night, the first persons to leave the Casino tabernacle were convinced by the noise and tumult in Johnny Considine’s sa- loon that a lively *‘scrap” was in pro- gress, says a Detroit dispatch. Some one informed Patrolman Cor the officer on the beat, and he hurried to the scene. As he approached Consa- dine’s place he saw men struggling in the doorway, but, catching sight of his shield and buttons, the beligerents sus- pended hostilities. Corey asked what the trouble was about. For a reply he received a severe cursing from the fel- low whom he had addressed, followed by a vicious lunge at his face. The officer dodged the blow and grappled with his assailant, throwing him to the ground, He then took a flrm hold of his collar and started up street with him. Arriving at the corner of Gris- wold street and Michigan avenue the prisoner made further resistance. The offices attempted to handcuff him, but wa3 immediately sur- rounded by the ‘“‘gang” which had rallied in numbers and followed on from the saloon, With curses they set on the officer intending to release the man under arrest. Evangelist H. Q. Wills, who had just come from the tabernacle, where he bad been holding services, took in the situation at aglance, handed his prayer bovk to a friend, drew up his sleeves, and then jumped into the **im- minent, deadly breach.” He went through the crowd of toughs like a whirl wind, throwing men rightand left until he reached the officer’s side. With fists clinched, eyes blazing indig- nation and face set in determination, the evangelist lifted up his voice and suid: ‘“The man that dares interfere with this officer in the performance of his duty has got to meet me. Do you hear?” Evidently everybody heard, for not a move more was made looking toward a rescue, While the officer took the prisoner to a patrol box and pulled for the “‘wagon.” The fellow was taken to the Woodbridge street station and locked up. **I want to shake hands with that man Wills,” said Patrolman Corey, after the trouble was all oyer, **for there is no doubt he saved my hfe. That gang would have kicked me to death in order to rescue their friend.” rd— Never uive Up. 1f you suffer with_asthma, bronchitis, or any other disease of the throat or lungs, nothing can surprise you more than the rapid improvement that will follow the use of SANTA ABIE.

G ents, 'Ow Much Do | 'Ear Far This Helegant "1, Wid the Water- falls and Evérythink Throwed In?" 014 Snowdon on the Block, LONDON, August 2.—[Special to Tng BEE. '0 be sold at publie auction to the highest bidder, by Bousfield & Co., at the Mart Tokenhouse Yard, Lon- don, etc.—Snowdon. The above. notice appeared in the Tondon newspapers a short time since. Some American buyers or possible buy- ers may perhaps want to know of what they would become owners under this sale. Snowdon is the Englishman’s mountaini not a part of a long range like the Rockies, but a single sturay old peak, standing up by himself, to face the snows and mists of winter, and the nordes of tourists in the summer. The cockney will be surprised indeed to learn by the hand-bills of the sale, that there is any one who can claim any greater or more particular right in the old giant than himself. Has not this been our stamping ground, where, until our family costs are lighter and our summer vacation longer, we must sutisty our Alpine climbing proclivities? Are we, the great British public, to have our way barred by some miserable speculator, who will possibly fence up our venerab e friend, and either kecep us out altogether or charge us a sordid entrance fee lor our right to roam over his summit? No; fortunately the cock- ney is protected by the great English law of prescription. ‘We might, and possibly the auction- eer will, exputiate on the beauties of the surrounding country which is nur- tured and watched over, as it were, by this grand old veteran and his brothers, some of which are bardly inferior to himself—the crystal waters of Lake Lanberris lying at his foot. the min- iature waterfalls precipitating them- selves into little grottoes. shaded with ferns and carpeted with moss, the huppy sparkling trout streams, danc- ing over their rocky, uneven beds, the gray old weather-fluted, ivy-covered bridges, and snug little hamlet valleys, with their comfortable old- fashioned inns, standing with open doors to receive the weary traveler, or the jaded city clerk, who for twelve long months has frettea, away his life in a London cellar. Bnt this is not our object. We wish merely to introduce to our readers the old fellow who is the subject of this sale; the contemporary of the Druids and everything ancient, aod rugged in the history of our nd. The question arises, what can a fel- low do with it. A, mountain isnot everybody’s money. Buarnam might, perhaps, take it away in sections; but then comes the question of “‘waste to the freehold;” for as Mr. Bonsfield gives us to understand, the freehold is notto be sold; and then, too, there is the cockuey’s right of ‘‘easement,” if clambering ulong loose, particles of rock can be called an ‘‘easement.” No; the purchasers’ right of use and enjoyment is like the license of the English liquor seller, ‘‘to be drank on’ the premises.’” The prospectus states there are some houses on the mountain, which bringin arental of £200 per annum, and the prospect, or rather probability of find- ing copper or something ot that specu- lative nature, if you will only dig far enough for it. The most lucrative part of “these desirable premises” is the little level plateau at the summit, where a fellow willingly pays half a crown for a small bottle of bass, rather than walk down to get it, and eggs and bacon in proportion. To supplement this profitable side of the question, the auctioneer after the manner of his kind, pictures the happy purchaser complacently looking over the preci- pice into the lake below, and n- templating with satisfaction the enjo; ment which his mountain will afford to all comers without charge or distinc- tion. The sale commences, and after some minutes of doubt and hesitation, a par- son thinks that it1s th £1,000 tohim, probably the reverena gentleman cos ciders that when he is up on the top he will be nearer to heaven than he can possibly be at any other spot in the United Kingdom. But this will not buy it, and after a succession of lingering bids, and when the gentleman 1in the box has declared that he will accept ad- vances of £5 at a time, this pride of our land, this heroof our geography primers, this hoary son of agesis knocked down for the despicable sum of a little over £5,000, the price of a modern dwelling house. The owner is chunged, but the mountain still remains the same, old Snowdon, DrulD. —_——— Self-Defense Against a Dangerous Koe Forwarned 18 not forearmed in the case of those who incur the risk of an attack from that dangerous foe, malariu,unprovided with a means of defense.

At Castle Garden' there are many theories of the great ‘decline in Euro- pean immigration to this country dur- ng the first half of the 'current’ year. It is said to be owing ‘to the reduction of the surplus population of several countries of Europe by the immigra- tion of past years, to the difficulties en- countered by many immfgrants in find- ing employment heré)to the new in- &"“"’f}’e"“’ offered to settlers by severai out) American goyernments, to the action of our consuls abroad in prevent- ing undesirable persons from leaving for New York, and to the strict enforce- ment here of the contract labor law. The falling off in the arrivals at Castle Garden during the first half of the year as compared with those in the corresponding period of last year was nearly 87 per cent, or from 289,325 to 173,678; and this falling off was from all the European countries from which im- migrants come to the United States. — 8$35.00 Is now the rate via the Northern Pa- cific railroad from Omaha and Council Bluffs to all north Pacific coast points, including Portland, Tacoma and Seat- tle.

One thing that never fails to interest all who see it, when it is found on the mountain heights of the Sierras, is the gnow plant, known to botanists as the Sarcodes sanguinea, meaning blooded flesh, says the American Garden. No flesh or blood could be so exquisitely beautiful; imagine a rosy and snow- tinted, crowned hyacinth, from eight to twenty inches in height.every minia- ture bell wound about by a rosy and frosted silver ribbon, all topped by a huge head of asparagus in hoar frost and silver. The frosted papilla is very marked on every sepal and bract. Though the whole translucent spike is flushed with rose and carmine, the ]seu\ls are the deepest and most bril- iantly colored parts of the flower,which is five parted, and each open one show- ing slightly the stamens and pistils. fhore have beon sen specimens bearing eighty perfect flowers and a pseudo-bulb twenty-two inches in cir- cumference, brittle almost as spun wlass, and although solid as a pineapple when first dug up, dried away to the size of the stem.

Tom Fuller, of Geneva, Ga.,says that he saw a rabbit whip and kill a enake a few days ago. The snake had caught a young rabbit and was trying to swallow it. The old rabbit rushed by the snake and bit at it as it passed. It then ran by the snake again and bit it, and re- peated the run several times, biting the snake each time. The snake finally dropped the young rabbit, crawled off a short distance and died. Save Your Hair BY a timely use of Ayer’s Halr Vigor. This preparation has no equal as a dressing.
