The Bagnio Tragedy Has a Dark Side for Scott. A STOCK TRAIN'S RAPID RUN., Death of E, L. Smith—A Reception to Mrs. J. Ellen Foster—The Council—Notes General and Personal. Awsuming a More Serious Phase. The Leland tragedy continues to be the subject of much conversation on the stroots, although interest in the shooting is begin- ning to die out. as each day renders its con- nection with tho present more remote. It is still an undecided question who did the shooting, and public opinion is divided. The affair has tended to implicate other members of the force, and one of them, Officer Joslyn, has been brought into unpleasant promi- nence. It is alleged that he was at the opening at Nugent's road house last Thurs- day evening, and that a row originated between himself and Scott, because he went home with the woman who was afterward shot. It is also stated that the two almost camo to blows Sunday night in a quarrel over the wowan, Joslyn’s story is that he was at the opon- ing o up Broadway on the same hack in which the woman _and a femalo com- panion were riding, but alleges that he rode oi the seat with the driver and did not get off at the house where the woman stopped, but came on up town with the driver. He denfes having been the woman's escort. He admits having had somoe words with Scott, but says that it was not regarding the womun, He states that Scott has been un- popular with the other members of the forco on account of kis “‘vig-headedness,” and be- cause he was tho favorite and nspecial pet of the chief, and thut 1t was from this feeling that the few words which passed between them arose, ‘This is Joslyn's version of the affair and is of course entitled to due consideration, but the bulk of testimony is to the opposite. The inmates of the Clover bugnio, as well s cer- tain members of the force and outsiders, state that Joslyn did accompany the woman home, und that Scatt was furious because of it. It is stated that there has been consider able feeling on the force aguinst Scott, who has openly boasted that he stood in with the mayor and chief, and could do as he pleased. The action of the chiel did not tend to lessen the breach, as he statod that Scott was the best man on the force. If his judement was correct, and Scott was the best man on the force, the remark of a cerfain city oficial, *'Well, God help the restof them,” is not ut all surprising. Scott is still confined in the city jail, but 18 allowed the freedom of the corridor. He maintains considerable self-possession, and insists that ho has tod the truth regarding the shooting, The wowan is in about the same condition us she has been since the shooting, and says that she did notdo the shooting and does not know who did. The bullet has not been tound, though the doc: tors probed in overy dircotion for it. Smd Dr. Thomas, after the examinution was com- pleted: “Itis strange how much punching the brain will stand. We poked around all over the side of her head where . the bullet ought to be, but we couldn’t get a trace of it. When the doctors were first summoned the wound was probed, and the course of the bullet fol- lowed to thé oppisite side of the head, whera it struck the skull and its course - wus changed. Amnother examination uld not then bo made. The next day the braiu fmat- ter had filled the hole, and the course of the bullet could not be followed. so we had to take out a little vieco of the skull on the opposite side, about where the bullet struck, and a needle four inches long was inserted 10 the brain in ull directions, but we got no traco of the bullet, The brain is sporgy, so thut @ sharp instrument can be in- serted in it without causivg any trouble, but @& ball, carrying before ivtho splintered pieces of bone, would be dangerous, 'These pieces of bone cause sup- puration, and to prevent any bad results from this we put -n a drainage tube. The woman can’t live, but there is no telling just when she will aie,” Another feature that is cited as an indica- tion that the woman did not .shoot herself is that her left hand is powder burned. As it would. be impossible for this hand to be burned by the powder if she had neld the gun in it, as Scott alleges, it 18 concluded that she must have held the weapon in her right hand, in which case she must have held both hands to hier head, if, as is alleged, she did vhe shootin ‘he theory advanced by several policemen is that Scott did the shooting and that tne woman threw up her left hand as tho gun was leveled at that side of her head, and her hand was burned by the discharge. As stated yesterday it is openly charged that an attempt is being made to clear Scott, regardless of the actual with the shooting, “They it pretty smoothly and quietly,” remarked a gentleman yesterduy. “Théy are doing all they can to spread the idea that it was done by the woman, and the opinion of the coro- ner, Dr. Waterman, is extensively cited. "Thére is a uice littlo piece of policy there. Tt isn’t to be supposed that thoss who had Scott appointed would want him to figure as a murderer, The case will be bad enough at its best, and they would much prefer to have it said that the woman shot herseif. ‘I'he woman will die anyway, and if a physician’s statement to the effect that she was rational when she said Scott did not shoot her, and that she shot herself, would do any good the coroner's statement could ~ help them out considerably. The other physicians don’t talk the way Waterman does, and he aunounces his posi- tive pelief that she shot herself. Perhaps she did, but 1t looks funny, to say the least, in view of all the opposite circumstances,’” It is certainly to be hoped that there 1s no such plan at work attempting to disguise the truth in_ the matter. Dr. Waterman was seen and questioned about the case, ana stated that there was no powder burn on the left hand, as he had carefully examined it. Ho was positive that the woman fired the shot; in fact, was as certain of it as & man could be who was not present when the shot was fired. He had no sympathy for Scott, but did not believe him guilty of the crime of attempted murder, He was on the spot within a very few minutes after the deed was done, and Scott’s actions had convinced him that he told tho truth, The woman had told him identically the same story us Scott up to a certain point, but there stated that she did not know about the shooting, while Scott told how it bap- pened. 1t is urged against Scott that when he came out of the room he had the gun in his hand, while the concussion extinguished the Light'and the gun must have fallen to the floor with the woman, if she held it. It 1s argued that it is unreasonable to suppose that in such o case he would gropo around in the darkness to fin it His explanation of this is that it fell on his foot and he stooved and picked it up, Two women, the landlady and one fil the girls, state that when Scott opened the gun ut the foot of the stairs he took outv two loaded cartridges, and had an empty shell in his other band while coming down the stairs, If the woman had extracted all but tho fatal bullet, the question is how Lhe two taken out by Scott found their way into the chamber of the revolver, No explanation offered for this, but the friends of the prisoner as- sert that there is nothing to show that he un- loaded the gun at the foot of the stairs, ‘The police. as a body, express little faith in Scott's story, and foresoe trouble in store for him, which Scott threatened his mistres proof of this is readily secured. When the woman was packing her trunk prepuratory to eloring with the conscienceless wretch, one of the other inmates of the Clover house asked where she was golug. Sne told her, when the other replied, *'Why, you wouldn't €0 with him, would you?" The woman re- plied that' she was afraid to refuse, he bhad threatened to kill her, and she believed be would do it Similar stories come from the house in Streetsville, where Scott 'kept” hib mistress during the summer. Frequent quarrels prompted by his joalousy, and dice threats were heard. The woman stated that she did not like him, but was afraid of him, and did not dare to refuse to have anytbing to do with him. These facts are constantly de- veloping, and are by uno wmeans helping Beotls case. Judge Aylesworth was yesterday asked for his opinion of the cuse,” but said that e Wust rewain uon-committal for a while. are worl s Said h ‘I can not see & motive for an at- tempt to k1 the woman, which, so far as T have been able to uscertain, must have been made in a fit of jealous rage, 1n case it was attemptod at all, which 1 am unwilling to | believe. 1 know nothing of the tase except what I see in the papers, but if what 1 read is true, I am positive of one thing, and that is that Joslyn should be immediately dis- charged.

Dorsey is on his way to New Mexico to look after his cattle in- terests in the territory. Te was at the Grand Pacific yesterday with his wife, says the Chicago Herald. Mr. Dorsev and his cattle associztes are just open- ing up a new cattle ranchof 190,000 acres in old Mexico that will be stocked. “The low price of cattle don’t scare us,” he said yesterday, “*but it would if we did not make our market and han- dle our own stock. I deny that the low price of cattle 18 & result of overproduc- tion. There are not nearly as many head of cattle in tne country as there used to be,in the face of the assertion made by Chicago witnesses lately be- fore Senator Vest’s committee. In 1860 the proportion was about one and one- half heud of cattle to each individual; in 1880 it was abouteven, but last year it was one and one-hall persons to a head of cattle. Whetherit is the increase of population or not cuts no fizure., Cattle ought to be higher than ever before. They are low simply because the Chi- cago dressed beef men control the mar- ket and establish the price. I can easily understand why Senator Vest was treated as he was, because it is to the interest of Chicago people to stand by the dressed beef men.” + Mr. Dorsey denied that he would be injured in any way by Secretary indom’s decision jn the lead ore “Because,” he said, “I am not inter- ested in any mine it can injure, and I deny the truth of these rumors that as- serted the first decision, 1mposing a duty on lead, wasin the interest of any cligue of which I wasa member. The decision don’t annoy me in the least. I am in the cattle business and devoting my attention to it.” Mr. Dorsey has fully recovered from his illness, but he s still somewhat pale and shows other traces of it. —_—— San Franclaco's Growth, Forty vears ago the harbor of San Frau 0 was filled, with a great fleet of ships that wEre!ying idly at their anchors, says the San Francisco Bulle- tin, They had brought cargoes of men and merchandise, but. they could find no cargoes to carry away, Many of these ships never left the port. They were hauled up to the land and the huliks furnmished temporary sheltor for hundreds of pioneers, To- day the docks are linea with a great fleet of merchantships—a larger number of sailing vessels, probably, than can be found in any other port in the union. These ships are nearly all discharging or Lukiug on cargo. There is hardly an idle ship in this harbor among seaworthy vessels. Aside from wine, wool, ores and lumber, there will be a million tons of wheat for transpor- tation to foreign markets. The ox teams no longer plod & weary way across the continent, But nearly every day a train load of fruit is sent o the Atlauticstates and these shipments will be rounded up A e s e ———r with the largest citrus crop, save that of Florida, ever producgd in the United States. PR — HONORS FOR A CHINESE BABY. Oharley Kece's Son 1s Remembvered by Over Two Hundred Banqueters Boys in China are personages of im- portance one day in life, if never after- ward. Girls may come and go with very littlo attention being paid them, but boys are superior beings, aud each, when he arrivesat the ageof one month, is made the central figure in a feast to which his father invites his whole oir- cle of acquuintances and all his rela- tives. Charloy Kee is a Chinaman well known in Chicago, says the Herald of that city, both in circles of orientals and among the Americans. He is a rather well educated man, speaking English fluently, enjoying the confi- dence of all who know him. He acts as interpreter in most of the lawsuits in which his countrymen become involved, and is often called from the city to officiate in like capacity in other courts. Several years ago Kee was married to a white woman, with whom he has lived }m{\pily ever since. They have three children, the first two bein girls, and consequently being passe with very brief notice.” But the third, born September 14, 1889, was a boy, tho son of a popular Chinaman, and assuch entitled to all the honors of his race, when he attained the age of one month. Some time time ago three Chinamen in Milwaukee were arrested on a seri- ous criminal charge, and, after cus- tomary preliminavies, their trial was set for Monday, October 14. Charley Kee was sent for to officiate as inter }»rflwr. with the inducement of a liberal ee. “But I don’t #0,” smd Charley. “Why not?” asked the attorney who was detailed to arrange for Kee’s sor- vices. ‘‘Because my boy is to have a party thal day,” said Charley. “‘and Twouldn't go out of town—not for a thousand dol- lars.” Inquiry developed that Charley had issued invitations to move than two hun- dred guests, had arranged for a banquet at his apartments on the upper floors of Hip Lung’s building on South Clark street, and courts at Milwaukee might adjourn _or continue, as they liked. Charley Kee's baby boy must be honored, Ilach gu bidden to the feast 15 ex- pected to bring with him or send be- forehand some present in cash, which: forms the boy's estate, to be held in trust by his father. The little mite that nestled in Mrs. Kee's lap yesterday afternoon was remembered to the ex- tent of nearly $300. The dining-room. when the feast wagat its height, was curious enough to American eyes. Forty-eight guests sat at four large round tables, each man wearing his hat, and most of them talking the swift speech. of Chinese. In the center of each table stood a dish of hard-hoiled eggs. shelled and quartered, while on the apex rested one stained pink— marking one month in the life of the person honored. About the margin of the table stood four china bowl: which imported wine was poured froma vessel much like an earthen teapot. Lach banqueter had an earthen ladle 1n the bowl of which rested a tiny cup the same material. A plate of seeds resembling watermelon seeds was dipped into with the hand by each guest, a quantity of the delicacy taken out and laid on the cloth before him. Theseeds are ‘unccd on edge between the front teeth,held there by the tongue till quick movement of the jaw splits them, ex- u;]m-ltls the morsel of meat and ejects the shell, Presently a signal was given, and each reveler dipped his little cup in the bow) of wine nearest hiin, filled it and lifted it in compliment to the com- pany,and drained 1t at a swallow. Then the feast commenced. Cold meats con- stituted the first course. consisting of stewed tripe, boiled chicken, slices of apple covered with minute sceds, and more wine. The hot dinner was giz- zards of chicken roasted and a bowl of sharks’ fins stewed. Each guest helped himself from a commen bowl in the center of the table, turning the mass over till he found a pie uited to his taste. Cigars were passed at the con- clusion of the meal, and fruits and deli- cacies were discussed till the guests were ready to withdraw. But at no time was the diminutive baby in whose honor the Chinese colony had assembled presented in public. Much less was his mother permitted to appear at the fos- tal board. A boy was born and wasa month old—that was enough, and that was all. ‘When the last reveler had departed Charley Kee took the late train to Mil- waukee, and will appear to-day at the trial of three Chinamen there, but wild horses couldn’t have pulled him out of Chicago yesterday until that boy had been properly remembered. A To Jerusalem By Rail. Perhaps many tourists to the Holy Land will not be enthusiastic over the excellent prospects that a steam route all the way to Jerusalem will before a great while'be open to travelers, says the New York Sun. Jogging slowly along on the backs of camels or don- keys is an interesting novelty to most visitors, and is far moro in keeping with the historic surroundings than the prospect of being whisked hehind a pufiing locomotive from Jaffa to Jeru- salem in u_ couple of hours. Senti- mental considerations, however, won’t retard the railroad enterprise, and en- gineers are already picking out a route for the road. The sultan has granted a concession, and a company composed of French and English capitalists will supply the funds. It will be a boon to PR LT T glimpse of the Holy Land during a vacation tvip. Tn- deed, to expedite sightseeing the slow and melancholy camel has for several years been partly supplanted by car- riages that have bumped along over an exceedingly rough rond between Jaffa and Jerusalem, e Percentage of Cultivated Land, The country having the largest pro- portion of cultivated land is Denmarl, Russia having the smallest, The United Kingdom has 29 per cent of land tilled, against 71 untilied.
