THE SAN FRAN SCO CALL, SATURDAY, ARCH 16, 189 BEGINS T0 LOOK | LIKE THE END. ALL THE TESTIMONY IN THE | STRIKERS' TRIAL HAS BEEN INTRODUCED, KNIGHT THE CHIEF WITNESS | MoNTEITH HAD TO CoNTEST EVERY | INCH OF THE HARD-FOUGHT FIELD. The trial of thé Sacramento strikers | practically came to an end yesterday. All the testimony is in, and the only things that remain to be done are the closing speeches of counsel, the Judge's charge to the jury and then the verdict. The taking of testimony has occupied sixty-two court days, spread over a term of five months, and the transcript of the case covers 5500 to make his closing remarks. His honor will deliver his charge, and the famous case will go to the jury. WILL SEND DELEGATES. The San Fraucisco Labor Couneil Will Offer to Take Part in the Mauu- 3 facturers’ Convention. The Labor Council, at its regular weekly meeting held in Union Hall, 1159 Mission street, last evening, decided to accept the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce to send delegates to the manufacturers’ con- vention, and A. Fuhrseth, M. McGlynn and J. F. Burns were elected to represent the council in that body. Delegate A. Fuhrseth reported in regard to his trip to Washington as a representa- tive of the union seamen of this coast. He stated that the passage of the bill for the protection of American sailors, introduced by Congressman Maguire, was materially aided by the flood of petitions sent to | Senators and Congressmen by labor unions all over the country.

JOCKEY KINNIE IS THROWN FROM HIS MOUNT AND SERIOUSLY INJURED. SLIGHT CHANCE OF RECOVERY FERRIER aND Hy Dy WERE THE ONLY FavorITEs THAT MET ‘WITH SUCCESS. The sport at the track yesterday was marred by an unfortunate accident in the first race, that will probably result in the death -of Jockey Kinnie, who had the mount on Ladameo, an outsider in the betting. So much consideration was felt for the lad that, on inquiring of one track official as to the boy’s condition at the conclusion of the last run, he replied that he didn’t know how he was. But this is in keeping with the policy of the present | meeting; as long as the dollars come in at the gate let the mill grind. The race was a five-furlong affair for maidens, Kingsley being a 6 to 5 favorite. Mt. Carlos—ridden by Fred Carillo, who was once ruled off the turf for one of the most barefaced jobs ever perpetrated on a racetrack, the pulling of Al Farrow—was played as the good thing in the race. Previous to the race Carillo was report- ed to have imbibed too freely of the cup that | inebriates, and I for one fully concur in this rumor, for his actions after dis- mounting substantiated it. At any rate, while the horses were fairly well bunched an eighth from the wire, Mount Carlos swerved in as well as could be seen from a ress-stand that might as well be in the basement for all the view of a race that it commands, bumping Ladameo, throwing her to her knees. *Corncob,’” as little Kinnie was called, was thrown, striking heavily on his head, causing concussion of the brain. Willing hands carried him to the jockeys’ room, and up to the time of leaving the track after t?}e last race the boy had not recov- ered consciousness, and by the way the attending physician spoke life was a 1 to 10 chance. Robert Kinnie, which was the boy’s m&yer name, was in the employ of Mike Kelly, and while he never gave promise of becoming a Griffin or a Taral wasa con- scientious and honest little fellow, who did the best he. could. Of the “dogs” that started in the racethe Julia Martin filly proved the best, with Rosalle second and Kingsley third. Riley Grannan was up on the block again yesterday, and I thought by the way | matters began the young plunger was | going to pay cut what he had made on the ground the two preceding days, but the opposite proved the case.

Foote objected, and then Monteith asked Knight what hé knew about the Yolo troubles. Foote was slow in introducing an objection, and Knight turning to him asked, “‘Is there an cfi)]ectionf" at which the strikers in court laughed. Knight was then excused, and John Lucy, George T. Knox and Mrs. M.J. Knox were exam- ined, after which the defense rested. The prosecution also rested, and the court set next Monday week for the hearing of argu- ment.

Color was given the story by a record in which Beamish and his wife transferred valuable property to Jacob H. Neustadter of Neustadter Brothers, the wholesale fur- nishing goods merchants. but was not recorded in the City Hail until March 13 last. It conveyed the following real estate to Neustadter: Lot on northeast corner of Van Ness avenue and Lombard street, 109x137:6; lot on southeast corner of Chestnut street and Van Ness avenue, 6x109; lot on southeast corner of Van Ness avenue and Francisco street, 137:6x.

A real estate expert ap- praised the Iprorerty yesterday as worth nplgroximme y close to $60,000. eustadter stated that the transfer had little or no significance, and declared that Beamish is still solvent. Neither of them cared to discuss it. 4 : In the latter.part of 1893 Mr. Beamish moved from Third and Market streets and took the big store in the Columbian build- ing on Market street, near Stockton. He putina tremendous stock of goods that cost much money. Nearly all the stock was bou§hc from Neustadter Bros., and very little from Eastern firms. Shortly after, in December, 1893, Beamish trans- ferred all his real property as security for his indebtedness to the Neustadters. He hoped to be able to get out of debt, but times were against him and the big establishment ate up much of the profits in rent alone. Atlast Beamish found him- self in a tight place, asa mercantile agency man expressed it yesterday. The Neu- stadters, though having the greatest faith in Mr. Beamish, began pushing him for their money, with the result that the old deed was made a matter of record as a pre- cautionary measure, This will probubli leave Mr, Beamish with the largest stock of its kind in town on his hands, without much, if any, debt upon it. Nor has his high business stand- ing or hissolvency been1mpaired, Althonglh an enterprising move cost him valuable real estate, representing, no doubt, the ac- cumulations of prosperous years. e T Polo at Burlingame.

Leon L, the | favorite in the race, which was a half-mile dash, ran poorly, and owner Legg would do well to give him a rest. It looks to me like anotner case of the phenomenal Cap- tain Coster—too many fast work-outs as a yearling. Grannan evened up what he had lost on the preceding races by backing Marionette all around the ring; 6 to 1 was at one time obtainable against her. After the last race 1 noticed the people that hail from the Windy City, Chicago, were greatly in need of that indispensnfile article that gave the Illinois metropolis its nom de plume. The old roan sprinter was in at his favorite distance, and when Gran- nan marked 4 to 5 against him I thought Bookmaker Walter was going to have a fit. He bet Grannan $300 at the price and jammed his hands down into his pockets up to his elbows with a smile that gave adoubt to the young plunger's mental capacity. Walteris a pretty good judge as a rule and Grannan rubbed to $15 to $20. Along came Abe Levy, with some fresh chalk on his cue, and slung a thousand- dollar bet at Granman; he took it and didn’t rub. Johnny Humphrey, whom I | consider one of the shrewdest men in the ring, had his horse, Joe Cotton, in the race and bet some good money on him at | 10 and 15 to 1. Grannan had 25 to 1 against Major Cook, put Billy Beverly betting him $100, he cut the price. Venus wasj second choice, but ran poor}ly. Major Cook and Tim Murphy raced out in front at a heart-breaking pace, as I pre- dicted to a friend, and an eighth from the wire Joe Cotton came on and won handily by half a length from the Major. Tim was only a fair third. The roan sprinter is way off edé:’ and White and Clarke would dp well to let up on him, even if the grass is short.

NEW NATIONAL GUARD LAY, SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL FEATURES OF INTEREST TO MILITIA- MEN. How THE REORGANIZED GUARD WiLL HEeREAFTER BE REGU- LATED BY THE STATUTE. The new State militia law which has been passed by the Legislature and which isto go into effect on July 1 next has numerous features of more or less interest | to the public. One of the chief provisions of the act is that the National Guard of California shall not exceed sixty-nine companies, of which sixty companies shall be infantry | or artillery, as the board of location may direct, and five companies of the Naval Battalion. x The act provides that appropriations for the purchase of uniforms and equipments | shall be used for that purpose and no other. Any regiment, unattached bat- | talion or unattached company is priv- ileged, however, to adopt a distinctive dress uniform and ‘equipments, subject to the approval of the commander-in-chief. The amendment’ alsé “provides' for a board of three officers to be detailed by the commander-in-chief, which board shall from time to time for the purpose of considering and recommending to the | commander-in-chief what, in its jndg- | ment, is most urgently required for the uniforming and equipping of the guard. Any enlisted man may be discharged be- fore the expiration of his term on the | following grounds: To accept promotion by commission ; removal of residence from the State or out of the bounds of the com- mand to which he belongs; disability es- tablished by certificate of a medical officer. A man may be discharged on the recom- mendation "of two-thirds of the members of the company to which he belongs, Any one convicted of felony, either by court- | martial or civil court, is subject to dis- | honorable discharge, and ufx erson is debarred from. rejoining the National Guard unless he is pardoned by the com- mander-in-chief. Under the provisions of section 1942 no military organization receiving State sup- vort shall, while under arms_either for ceremony or duty, carry any device, ban- ner or flag of any nation or State, except that of the United States or of the State of California. The amendment prohibits any body of men whatever from associating ‘as a mili- tary company or organization to drill or In\rndo with arms in this State without the icense of the Governor. Students in edu- cational institutions where military science is a part of the course of instruction may, with the consent of the Governor, drill and parade with arms in public under the superintendence of their_instructor, Ben- evolent or social organizations are privi- leged to wear swords. Sach company of infantry shall have not less than 50 nor more than 103 officers, non-commissioned officers and privates, which must include one commissioned officer and may include one captain, one first lieutenant, one second licuténant, one first sergeant, one guartermaster sergeant, four sergeants, eight corporals and two musicians. This order holds good with troops of cavalry, except that these are allowed, in_addition, two trumpeters, two farriers and one saddler. Section 2003 provides for the organiza- tion of the National Guard into three brigades, each commanded by a brigadier- eneral; the limits of each brigade are to e fixed by the commander-in chief. Brigadier-generals and their staffs deprived of their command by reason of the reor- ganization provided for are placed on the retired list with their rank. The three brigades of the National Guard compose a division commanded by a major-general. The commander-in-chief may annually order an encampment for discipline and drill, either by diyision, brigade, regiment, battalion” or unat- tached company, and all troops assembled and encamped under the orders of the commander-in-chief for not less than seven days shall receive a sum equal to $1 25 for each officer and man regularly on duty in such camp; provided that the ag- regate allowance per day shall not exceed §4OG per compang; all “officers and men shall receive in addition to the above al- lowance the actual fare to and from the place of encampment. All mounted of- ficers and enlisted men shall receive $2 per day for each horse necessarily used by them at such encampment. e AN IRONWORKER'S FALL. Harry Olsen Sustained Probably Fatal Injuries Yesterday. Harry Olsen, an ironworker who has been employed at the Parrott building, now in course of erection on Market street, between Fourth and Fifth, had a frightful fall yesterday afternoon. He was engaged in bolting iron girders together on the second story, when by some means he lost his hold and fell to the floor below. His body struck a i‘l{roje.cm)g piece of iron which entered his side, penetrating his leit lung. The man was unconscious when he was picked up. : He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where an investigation showed that his injuries were probably fatal. Besides the injury to his lung, his left. arm was frac- tured and his he: 547 Howard street, - bruised. Olsen lives at l JUDGE'S FAMOUS CARTOONIST Bernard Gillam Recommends Paine’s Gelery Compound for Exhaustion. The Buffalo News, in a recent article, re- | marks upon the fact that “Bernard Gillam, the cartoonist of Judge, is one of the few living men whose cartoons have ever changed a vote in the U. S. Senate.” Bernard Gillam is a young man, but 35. He received his art education in England. He is to-day the foremost cartoonist of America. In 1880 he came to Harper's Weekly as the colleague of the immortal Nast. His work afterward for Frank Leslie’s and Puck well fitted him for bringing Judge to its present success. In 1886 Mr. Gillam went into partnership with W. J. Arkell and bought Judge. The full-page colored cartoons, Mr. Gillam’s special province on Judge, equal the remarkable efforts of the great Keppler in Judge’s older rival. There is probably no form of brain work that is so exhausting, so exacting and so intense as the work of the great artist on the large comic papers. To turn out bril- liant ideas with the regularity of machin- ery and yet keep their work up to the high standard set by their splendid reputation, makes fearful demands upon their nervous vitality. Mr. Gillam knows what severe work means. The nervous strain of his responsible position has at times brought him near to prostration and the giving up of his work. He says in a letter dated New York, No- vember 13, 1894: “No tonic that T have taken has done me so much good as Paine’s celery compound. When I am run down or exhausted after particularly exacting work on cartoons and in other artistic occupations I have found | a dose of the compound exceedingly bene- | ficial as a restorative for the nerves.” The racing speed of the marvelous new processes for swiftly carrying out men’s ideas is taxing to their utmost the nervous systems of countless men and women. A cry of protest is going up all over the country from medical men against the sui- cidal waste of nerve force. Preachers, editors, lawyers, even doctors themselves, from their daily round of hard, anxious work—every brain-worker, in fact, who labors draws heavily upon his nervous vitality, must take alarm at the first sign | of brain-tire, pressure, fullness or tension | in the head, or nervous fatigue. | In every city in the United States phy cians every day are not only prescribing, but themselves using, Paine’s celery com- pound for weakness and nervous debili for curing the effect of poor and unhealthy 2 7 s o s == e blood, disorders of liver, kidneys, stomach, heart and nervous system. An effective remedy must first enter the blood to cure rheumatism. Local treat- ment for a constitutional disorder will do no good. Rheumatism, gout, blood- poisoning, scrofula, etc., are diseases lodged in the blood. Just why Paine’s celery compound cures, while other remedies fail, is because all its ingredients effectually aid the system to rid itself of any poisonous humorsin the { blood. Hundreds of cases have within this year been reported directly from persons be- tween the s of 45 and suffering from acute Bright’s disease, who have been per- manently cured by Paine’s celery com- pound. It stops the gradual structural changes in the kidneys, restores their vigor and removes such alarming symptoms as the gradual loss of strength, pallor of the | face, shortness of breath, pain in the back and sides, dropsy and a puffy condition of As a spring medicine it is abso- lutely without a rival. Every overworked man and woman, re- duced in strength, flesh and nervous vigor, will find a powerful restorative in Paine’s ry compound. It is food for the brain and nerves. It sends new, healthy blood through the arteries. Itmakes people well. TARANTUi;AS, SOORPIONS, ETO Reassuring Facts Vouched For by Emi- mnent Bug Sharps. The Bureau of Entomology has been col- lecting some interesting information lately about scorpions, centipedes and taran- tulas. Respecting these creatures all sorts of nonsensical beliefs are prevalent, and travelers who have visited tropical regions disagree as to the effect of their bites. That the poison of any oneof the three is apt to be deadly has often been asserted. The uestion ~derives’ particular importance rom the fact that the animals are con- stantly imported into this country in bunches of bananas and among other fruits from lower attitudes. Tarantulas are simply big spiders of the kind that build houses with trap doors. Their bite is very severe and painful, the sear lasting for a long time, but though it produces a violent inflammation for a short time it is not dangerous to_life. Such, at all events, is the belief of Professor C. V. Riley. In regard to.the centipede Pro- fessor Riley says that its bite in warm climates is sometimes excessively virulent and painful, though at other times, oddly enough, the poison causes little incon- venience. That it is ever fatal is not be- lieved. 5 R Scorpion stings are very painful indeed. They are dangerous in proportion to the size of the animal, its age and the state of irritation in which it may be. Tempera- ture also has an influence upon the venom. It may be that the sting is occasionally followed by death, but such cases must be very rare. There is no doubt that the sting of certain species commonly found in South America causes fever, numbness in various parts of the body, tumors on the tongue and dimness of sight. These symptoms last from twenty-four to forty- eight hours. The effects produced dimin- ish in violence with repetition, so thata person who has been stung many times may become actually proof against the poison. i Some scorpions are much worse than others. The rather small, slender, pale- colored kinds have the worse reputations. In warm latitudes certain places are nearly free from scorpions, while others are over- run by them, for reasons not well under- stood. They are extraordinarily numerous in a valley in the Tierra Templada of Mex- ico. There it is hardly possible to turn over a stone without finding three or four small and wicked scorpions of a pale color beneath it. It is a common belief that the legs of the / 2 centipede are poisonous and that they will leaye a trail that burns like fires if the ani- | b mal runs over the bare flesh. This is wholly amistake. The creature is natur- ally timid and will not even try to bite if it éan get away. The poison causes a good deal of pain, with fever and distress in the | head. Centipedes are fond of vermin-in- fested beds, and in tropical countries beds | are very apt to be so infested.—Washing- | ton Star. —————————— | Mr. Hawthorne Was Satisfied. | Nathaniel Hawthorne was a kind-hearted | man as well as a great novelist. While he | was Consul at Liverpool a young Yankee | walked into his office. The boy had left home to seek his fortune, but evidently had not found it yet, although he had crossed the sea in search. Haqmesick, | friendless, nearly penniless, he wanted a | assage home. The clerk said that Mr. awthorne could not be seen, and in- timated that the boy was notan American, but was trying to steal a passage. | The boy stuck to his point, and the clerk at last went to the little room and said to | Mr. Hawthorne : E | “Here’s a boy who insists upon seeing | you. He says he's an American, but 1| know he isn’t.” | Hawthorne came out of the room and | looked keenly at the eager, ruddy face of | the boy. X { “You want a passage to America?” “Yes, sir.” “And you say you're an American?”’ “Yes, sir.” “From what part of America?” changes brought about by railroads, steam- ats and international communication. kers after a large extent of land on which to grow wheat enough to provide bread for the whole year, and inclines to | ro;\:urd other crops as accessories. With the actual low price of corn this does not suit the owner, particularly as it is customary in Tuscany to grow wheat two years running on the same land, with little or no manure. So soon as the corn is carried (early in July) the stubble is plowed up, and maize or millet is grown for early autumn cutting as green fodder. The yield of wheat is, of course, wretched, from six to thirteen fold, and enlightened proprietors who possess « the requisite capital are dividing their large farmsand bui&dinz the necessary farmhouses.—Macmillan’s Maga- zine. S Were They Embarrassed ? “What,” asked the indulgent husband, “‘are you going to do with ‘an inconsistent woman, and how are.you going to teach her never to make threats?”’ All of which means that his wife had been telling them something that amused them, but not her. She had not lived in her present house long. One of the things that she believes in— and a very good helief it is, many hus- bands will say—is that the woman who is at the head of the house should do her own marketing. She dropped in at her butcher’s” in the afternoon, when she was on her way to a matinee at the opera, and gave an order.

R e The Tuscan Peasant. In Tuseany you will oiten find peasants whose families have been on the s me | farm for 200 or 300 years. They talk of | themselves as gentle (the Roman gens), of the padrone (landlord), and take an affec- tionate interest in him and his family. But the Tuscan peasant is a thorough conser- vative. He has not yet grasped the pocket-book. “I did not ask them to charge it to me,” she said. “I did not want them to do that. I explained that I had forgotten m; pocket-book, and that they were to sen the purchase to my house, and on the next ay when I came again I would pay them. And would you believe,” she said, open- ing her eves, “that they refused? And I said to them, ‘Very well, send it around, collect, and 1 shall not come here to buy anything more.’ So far 50 good, but— “And do_you know,” she said, with the most innocent smile in the world, “that I went there the very next day and have been going there ever since, becanse it’s the best shop and the most convenient. And they looked very funny when I came in and gave my orders as usual. I think they must have been embarrassed.”—New York Tribune.
