CARRIER-PIGEON RACE. A Novel -1 Contest for a Purse of $500. June 10 has been decided upon as the date for the carrier-pizeon race which is to take place between this city and Portland, Or., for which B. Strauss, the bird-dealer at 411 Kearny street, is now making ar- rangements. The pigeons are owned by H. Mills and F. Hoffman, both bird- fanciers of Portland, where the novel race is exeiting considerable interest. The con- testants went into training some time ago. On the morning of March 11 Mr. Strauss sent out from his Kearny-street establish- ment the Mills pigeons, seven in number, { for a practice trip. They were received | here the previous day from Portland, and | it did not take them Tong to decide upon a | route for the return journey. A letter from" | Mills to Mr. Strauss, received a few days after the start, informed the latter that the birds all arrived in good condition. One of them reached the home perch at 10 | o’clock in the morning of March 12, and the | others arrived in a bunch two hours later. The distance is about 700 miles. Last | Monday the birds were again returned to | this city by express, and with them came ! the Hoffman pigeons.

The game was hotly contested throughout and created intense excitement. It was witnessed by hundreds of spectators. Charles Ackerman, an old man living at 650 Jessie street, who was charged several months 220 with indecent assault, was yesterday sen- tenced by Judge Campbell to pay & fine of $100 or be imprisoned 100 days. The local iron foundries appear to be all busy and nesrly every one has some big contract on hand. There also seems to be an increase in Eastern orders, which argues increased popu- larity for California iron work. It is reported by Avery McCarthy. the owner of Twin Peaks, that 8 wealthy English- man wants to secure the property in order to erect upon it & residence built after the style of the old English baronial castles. Judge Sanderson yesierday made an_order allowing Henry A.

Campobelio, the popular barytone, decides to contest the application of his wife for divorce. In a letter to a friend he denies all of the charges, and says that he will be here in Au- gust to personally attend to the defense. There was a large crowd in attendance at the races yesterday and betting was lively. The talent fared well, the favorites having another good day. The winners were Coda, Captain Reis, Con Moto, Flashlight, April and Genette, Edwards. This aiternoon ‘at 3 o'clock John Currie, known as the Scotch evangelist, will deliver a special address at the Young Men’s Christian ‘Assoication building, Mason and Ellis streets. The service will be exclusively for gentlemen between 16 and 40 years of age. An additional meeting of principals will be held in Normal Hall on Tuesday afternoon next at 3:30 o’clock, and will then receive and act upon the report of the committee of fifteen on drawing. The result will doubtless be to bring somewhat of order out of the chaos of drawing aims and methods of the public schools. Gerald Cullen sued his wife, Nancy, yester- day, to recover & one-seventh interest in a lot on the east side of Kearny street, south of Union.

She went into the first regatta of the San Francisco Yacht Club, and as usual, came home last. When the mainmast was put into the vessel to make her a_schooner, the stick had to be pted | grooved to fit over the centerboard.

Her name was changed to the Lily L, and when she got into north- ern waters she showed a speed which would have delighted the heart of the old doctor. Many afine fat seal was hauled up on to the deck of the LuF L, and man | a time did she have to haul up her mud- hook and speed away to windward with a revenue cutter dangerously close to her heels. Many & close shave did the little schooner have from the patrol of Uncle Sam, and many a time did a bigfog bank save her from capture. The schooner was subsequently bought by C. D. Ladd, who continued her in the sealing business, but one or two disastrous seasons wound up the schooner and her owner. Last year she was fitted out by Ladd for a cruise in the Japan Sea, and | while she was over there her owner was | attached and he went down with a finan- | cial crash. The scheoner did not catch | enough seals to puil him out of his embar- | rassment, and on_her return she was sold | at auction. Donald Ross of the firm of | Ross & Hewlett was the successful~bidder, and he has converted the famous craft into a pleasure yacht in which he and his fam- ily propose to spend the summer. Mr. Ross is said to be a good sailor, and fully capable of handling his new purchase. BILLS OF EXCEPTION. Trial Judges Should Endeavor to Settle Them Whenever Possible. The Supreme Court yesterday decided a point against Superior Judge William T. Wallace as respondent in the case of Louis Oohen, the Baldwin Hotel colonizer, vs. William T. Wallace. Louis Cohen was convicted of perjury and judgment was | entered on the verdict on January 18 last. On January 28 thercaiter Cohen tendered a bill of exceptions for settlement, and on the 30th the court refused to settle said bill and ordered it stricken from the files, whereupon Cohen prayed for a writ of mandate from the guprcmc Court_com- pelling Judge Wallace to settle the bill. e Supreme Court held that the court’s reason for refusing to settle the bill—viz., that it was a mere transcript of the re- rter’s notes —was untenable. While eprecating imperfect bills, the Supreme Court thought the trial court should en- _d'euvflrlgo s(:rltle 1hel bill rather than refuse it. herefore orde; rem ptor; Setbshionld snene A “b|’ll of exceptions” represents a de- fendant’s ob, ections to a verdict, and its ‘‘settlement’” is an agreement between the trial Judge and defendant that the items are correct.

Valley Road Officials Have Not Yet Given It Consid- eration. A Corps of Engineers Went to Stockton Last Night to Be-~ gin Work. The newly clected board of trustees of the valley road will hold its first meeting on some day during the coming week, the exact date having as yet been undecided. ‘When that meeting occurs an organization will be perfected, but it is not probable that any important action will be taken for some time to come. Very little is known as to the form of policy which will be mapped out by the new officials; in fact, several of them who were seen yesterday said that they them- selves were as yet ignorant of what would be done in the future. James Cross, Lowell White and A. B. Spreckels, three of the trustees, were not disposed to sey anything on the subject. The last-named gentleman said that he had given the subject no_attention what- ever as ‘fec, as his time had been otherwise engaged. homas Brown of the Bank of California 'was equally non-communicative, and Dan- iel Meg:r said that it was too early yet to talk about aJpolicé. . Engineer John R. Graham and a corps of eight or ten men left the city last night by boat for Stockton, and they will be joined at that point to-morrow by Engineer Storey. That gentleman said would commence work and that Iprobably three or four different lines would be surveyed down the valley before a conclusion’ was reached as to which would be adopted. The question has been raised as to the effect the election of the board of trustees will have upon the present board of direc- tors. It may be stated thgt the directors will serve until the expiration of their term of office, one year hence, when the trustees will select their successors. The present board of directors was elected by the stockholders—the same power that elected the trustees—and, of course, they will continue in office. ——————— KILLED BY AN ELECTRIC-CAR. A Three-Year-Old Child’s Skull Crushed on Mission Street. Shortly before noon yesterday Daniel Melitsky, the three-year-old son of Mrs. Margaret Melitsky, who lives at 44 Jessie street, was run over and instantly killed by car 1006 of the Mission-street electric line. The accident occurred at the corner of Ecker and Mission streets, and the child had just jumped off a truck. He did not see the approaching car and ran right in front of it. The little one’s skull was crushed by the wheels and it was with dif- ficulty that the body was removed from under the car. Although the car was going at an unusual rate of speed, those who saw the accident say that the motor- man could not possibly” have stop in time to have saved the young one’s life. ‘T'he boy’s mother is said to be very poor.

Reta Could Not Bear the Thought of Leaving Miss Wolf Behind. The remains of Carlos Enrico Reta, mur- derer and suicide, were removed to the un- dertaking parlors of Iaccheri & Baciga- lupi on Broadway, yesterday morning. At the same time the body of his victim, Miss Adele Wolf, was being prepared for burial at the home of her mother, 1305 Leaven- worth street. The mother of the dead girl is completely prostrated over the tragical occurrence, and as she suffers from heart disease her physician considers herina pre- carious condition. Hundreds of curious people visited the Morgue yesterday in the hope of seeing the bodies of the lovers. Dozens of well- dressed women were there, all anxious to get alook at poor Adele Wolf, but they were disappointed, as the remains of the girl were removed Friday night and those of Reta yesterday. Dr. de Vecchi knew the young man very well, and it was he who madeithe necessary arrangements for the funeral, which takes place to-day. When the unfortunate girl will be buried seems in doubt, No information can be obtained at her mother’s home, and Porter & Co., the undertakers, can only say that they think it will take place tnis afternoon or Monday. A jury was impaneled last Friday night, and viewed the body, so there is nothing to prevent the burial of the remains, al- though the formal inquest will not be held until Tuesday at 9 A. m. The autopsy made by Dr. J. S. Barrett discloses the fact that Reta’s aim was most accurate. The hearts of both were pierced near the lower end, and almost exactly at the same point. In spite of the statement made that Reta and Miss Wolf were married, no docu- mentary evidence of the fact can be found. No marriage license was issued to them either here or in Oakland, and no contract has been filed in the Recorder’s office, al- though such a document may exist. From facts now coming to light, it ap- pears that the tmgedy was unpremedi- tated. Thursday night last Reta took Miss Wolf to the theater, and later to supper. They were seen shortly after midnight in front of the house at 1305 Leavenworth street, and the young man was then urging the girl to do ‘something. She evidently came to his way of thinking, for they went down town again, and took a_room at the Palace. They had a bottle of benedictine with them, and drank about a third of it before the nafiedy. Itis the most intoxi- cating liquor known, and many people are of the opinion that Miss Wolf, after drink- ing it, went to sleep, and was murdered while she slept. The note requesting that they be buried together was written by Reta on a sheet of paper bearing his mono- Carlos E. neta. [From a photograph taken by Taber last Thursday.) gram, and, the supposition is that, crazed with the thought of losing his lady-love, he hurried both their souls into eternity. When Deputy Coroner McCormick vis- ited the room in which the tragedy took place yesterday he found a small bouquet of red roses pinned to the wall above the bed on which the bodies had lain. The sister of the dead girl attempted to obtain possession of it yesterday as a souvenir, “I think the girl knew nothing at ali of Reta's intentions,” said McCormick, when talking about the tragedy. ‘He was lying in her arms and having both his hands free could do as he pleased. The girl was asleep when shot as her eyes were closed and his wereopen when we found them. Both died without a atrugfile and the Eirl never knew how near death she was when she went to sleep beside her lover.” ‘When the Coroner visited Reta’s rooms at 622 Post street yesterday he was sur- prised to find his trunk missing. It con- tained all his clothes and a considerable quantity of je;we]ry. No one seems to know where it is, and the landlady says it was taken away last Wednesday. Vice- Consul Cesare Poma, a friend of the dead man, was indignant when asked if he knew gnything about the missing article. He asserts that he does not know where it is and says if he did he would not tell, as it is nobody’s business. On Thursday Reta had his photograph taken at Taber’s. He was then nervous and irritable. When seen about the matter Mr. Taber said that Reta came to his gal- lerK on Thursday afternoon for the purpose of having his photograph taken. The man appeared to be greatly excited, and when shown different styles and tinishes of g}m- to),z{a hg said, irritably, “Oh, anything will do.’ After the sitting the operator demanded and received the cnstomn;y deposit of $6 on account of the value of the pictures. Reta then ordered them sent to the board- ing-house where he lodged. he proofs were mailed to him Friday afternoon, so that he could not have re- ceived them up to the time of his death. One of the youn%lndy attendants at the allery said that Reta held in his hand a rge box of candy, possibly designed as a present to his lud_v-]ove. The body of Miss Adele Woli will be cre- mated next Tuesday at 2 p. w. The trunk from which so much informa- tion was to be gained has been located, but its contents have not helped to solve the mystery in any particular. The trunk and its contents are at the pawnshop of Morris Lubeck, at 651 Clay street, and it ‘was to his son, Adolph Lul , that Reta sold the Property. The sale was made on April 3, and then on April 4 a few more things were added. Reta called at the pawnshop on April 2 and asked young Lubeck to come to his Toom, at Post_street, as he had some things -there which he wanted to sell. When Lubeck went there the next day Reta had a lot of clothes spread around on the chairs and on his bed, where he had laid kthem after taking them from the trank. There were several coats, some shoes, some underwear and other articles of ap- parel and a pistol. Reta had two pistols, one of Italian make of 44-caliber and an- other of smaller bore. Both of these were offered to Lubeck, but he bought only the larger one. 1t is plain that Reta had no thought of using a pjstdl at that time, for the smaller pistol which he wished to sell on April 3 was the one used in the tragedy of April 5. Lubeck is positive there were no pape: in the trunk, and he says also that while emgtging the pockets of the clothes he sold Reta took no papers from them. He says there were papers in ome of the drawers of the bookcase, however, for he saw them. The Coroner's deputy found none_there, however, and it is probable that Reta hid or destroyed them. Reta gave no evidence during the sale of the reason for which he parted with his be- longings. He offered to sell everything in the room to the pawnbroker, but did not seem to do so because he wasin strait- ened circumstances. He received $27 for all he =old,and §$5 70 of this wasin his pockets when he died. A CASTLE ON TWIN PEAKS. It Is Reported That a Wealthy English- man Contemplates Building There. E. Avery McCarthy, secretary of the Stanford Addition Land Company, is au- thority for the statement that a rich Eng- lish friend is negotiating for the purchase of the Twin Peaks and about thirty-five acres of the adjoining land for the purpose of erecting a handsome residence, built after the style of the old English baronial castles. The site is a perfect one for such a purpose, as it commands a view which cannot be equaled in variety and extent. From the rugged outlines of Marin County to far down among the San Mateo hills, and from the horizon out on the ocean to the mountains back of Oakland, there is nothing which does not come within view from the Twin Peaks. Perched up on the top of the peaks a large building such as would be put there would stand filke a sentinel over Market street, for that thoroughfare would lead right up to its doorstep should it ever be carried out so far. Senator Stanford atone time signified an intention of securing the | Frupert for the city, to be used as a pub- lic park, but it was sold to others and finally came into the hands of Mr. Mc- Carthy’s family. OSBORN'S AAID BY NIGHT. The Poundkeeper Attacked by an Angry Mob and Fired Upon. The Shooting Witnessed by a Police~ man, Who Refused to In- terfere. Poundkeepeer F. A. Osborn came very near making his last raid in search of stray cattle Thursday nieht. A desperate attempt was made to kill him, and the police are now trying to find out who it was that sent two bullets after that official on the evening in question. The shooting took place in the Rich- mond district, near the Presidio. That locaiity has been for months overrun with cattle, but the people in the district when grazing their cattle in defiance of law at night have videttes stationed at good points, and when the alarm is given the cattle are driven into inclosures out of the reach of deputies. Owing to this watchful- ness the Pound deputies have been unable to make any extensive hanls. Poundkeeper Osborn received informa- tion at 10 o'clock Thursday night that thirty head of cattle belonging to a man named Patton were grazing on Lake street, near Nineteenth avenue. He ordered four deputies, Logan, O’Farrell, Boyson and Berger, to accompany him, and together they started upon the raid. The cattle were found in the care of one herder, who scampered off after assistance, and the deputies, without delay, drove the stock to Third avenue and thence to Point Lobos avenue. By this time some twelve men on horseback had come up, and each was loaded down with stones. Mr. Osborn and his deputies were pelted severely, but they did not give up the fight. A'tremendous howling was kept up as the mob came down Point Lobos avenue, and each saloon along the route furnished its quota of sympathizers with the pursu- ers. Cries of “Kill him!” “Lynch the — Poundkeeper,”” were heard on all sides, and the result was a rush upon Mr. Osborn and his deputies, in which blows were freely given and taken. Mr. Osborn was foiced to draw his re- volver and he threatened to shoot if the crowd did not stand back. The answer to this was a shot from the crowd directed at Mr. Osborn. Happily the bullet went wide Poundkeeper F. A. Osborn. of its mark. Another shot was fired, but this time the “zip”’ of the bullet could be plainly heard by the Poundkeeper. Mr. Osborn states that he was about to fire into the mob when they retired, leay- ing the deputies victors. All this was wit- nessed by Police Officer Henry J. Pyle, who, as Mr. Osborn asserts, declined to interfere in the fracas. Mr. Osborn will file charges against the officer for neglect of duty. Meanwhile he is trying to find the man who fired the shots with the evi- dent intention ot killing him. i S g ‘Water-Front Notes. The ship Occidental sailed yesterday for the Alaskan fishing grounds.

No Verdict Was Reached, as the Minority Refused to Give In. THE STRIKERS ARE JUBILANT. They Won the Day and Now Hope to Be Dismissed From Custody. The trial of John Mayne and John Cas- sidy on a charge of delaying the United States mail and interfering with inter- state commerce came to an end in the United States District Court yesterday. The jurors failed to agree and Judge Mor- row discharged them. When they ap- pealed to the court last Friday they stood ten for conviction and two for acquittal. When they returned to the jury-room they took up the two counts of the in- dictment and balloted on them separately. On the charge of delaying the United States mail.the vote was: For conviction— Stout, Bertz, Lyon, Diggins, Spencer, Baloon, Wyman, Pryorand Gillon. For acquittal—Gordon, Bourne and Wel- lington. On the charge of interfering with inter- state commerce the vote was: For con- viction—Stout, Bertz, Gordon, Lyon, Diggins, Spencer, Baloon, Wyman, Pryor and Gillon. For acquittal — Welling- ton and Bourne. After receiving further instructions from Judge Morrow last Thursday night the jurors took a ballot and the result was eight for conviction and four for acquittal. “Afterward it nar- rowed down to the ten to two basis and re- mained at that until Friday night, when they began balloting on the ~different counts in the indictment. About 11 o’clock yesterday the jurors sent another petition to Judge Morrow. They said the balloting had been kept long into the might and resumed again yester- day morning without varying the result. They stated positively that they were un- able to agree, and, as they had been kept ninety-six consecutive hours from their wives and families and business, they con- sidered their duty done. If there was a possibility of an agreement they would willingly sacrifice more time, but there was not. Judge Morrow asked if his_instructions of Friday had been followed and he was told that they had, but it made no differ- ence in the result. The court interrogated them further, and then being satisfied that there was no chance of an agreement dis- charged them. In doing so his Honor thanked them for the patience and care they had given to the trial. The jurors lost no time getting to their homes ‘as soon as they were discharged. After a trial that extended over five months and four days and nights in a jury-room they were wearied out, and the words ‘‘striker’” and ‘‘jury-box’ were ob- noxious to them. As a result none of them were anxious to talk about their ex- gefience in the jury-room. Thursday and riday nights they spent in the California Hotel, so that there were only two nights which they spent in the jury-room and made their beds on the softest planks they could find. During the early part of their delibera- tions the jury did nothing but discuss the merits and demerits of the ease and take ballots. When the entire evidence as they remembered it had been thrashed over and the conclusion was reached that an agree- ment was impossible the jurors began to find time hanging heavy on their hands. They discussed the constitution of the country and argued the question of munici- pal reform pro and con. After a short time spent in that way the balloting was resumed, but invariably with the same result. A happy thought struck one of the jurors. ~They would re-try the strikers with a Judge and jury and see if in that way any new light could be thrown on the matter. One of the number was chosen Judge, another represented the Distriet Attorney and a third was counsel for the defense. This left six men to act as jurors and three for witnesses. The case was gone into as fully as the circumstances would permit, but generally the jury stood five for conviction and one for ‘acquittal. In this way every possible means of arriv- ing at a verdict was tried, and when they aIlg failed it was no wonder the jurorsap- pealed to the court to be discharged. “T hope it will be my last experience as a juror in the Federal courts,” said one of the unfortunate twelve yesterday. “We tried by all the means in our power to ar- rive at a verdict and failed. e did not ask to be discharged until we had been out fifty-seven_hours. So you can see we fully understood the responsibility that rested upon us. We fully appreciated Judge orrow’s kindness and courtesy, and not one of us grumbled when ordered back into the jn?-room yesterday. We all felt jt was a hopeless task sef us, but we made another attempt at securing a verdict and failed. “During our trial by jury of the issue everything was carried outas in court, and it was wonderful what a mass of the actual testimony we were able to put in. Our Judge followed Judge Morrow’s lines, and It was all of no avail, however, and we were no nearer a verdict than when we had only been out twelve hours. It was a long trial, a long chn:§e and a long, long time to be out considering a verdict.” ‘Whether the two defendants will be tried again is a point not yet decided. This trial has cost the Government an enormous sum of money, and it is doubtful whether an- other jury will be asked to try the men again. Should the cases be dismissed, then the charges against all the other strikers will be nolle prosequied. Mrs. F. F.
