a = THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1895.. inside the corporate limits have been fin- ished a line will be run to the Stanislaus River. Mr. Graham said he did not know just what route would be pursued to the river, and that Mr. Storey would decide on that when he arrived here. Chief Engineer Storey arrived to-night with the application of the new corpora- tion for a franchise inside the city limits. The Council being in regular session Mr. | Storey took the petition before that body and presented it. After some talk by the City Attorney and S. D. Woods, the at- torney who represented the railroad, it was decided to take an adjournment until to-morrow night, that no legal form might be overlooked by granting the franchise hastily. It will be granted at the adjourned meeting, at which it will be the only matter considered. Mr. Storey will remain here two or three days and will then leave the survey in the hands of Mr. Graham. A number of the members of the Com- mercial Association were not satisfied with the as suggested before to the com- mittee of the directory of the road and ac- cepted by them, and now have been try- ing to see if some changes can be made to conform to their ideas. President Buell has been in San Fran- cisco for this purpose and the matter was brought up before the executive session of the association to-night. It decided to stay by the original plans if pos- sible to do so. At to-night’s meeting the reports of the canvassing committees were very encourag- ing, and with the lists of subscribers turned in to-night there is lacking but about $30,- 000 of enough to secure all the rights of way and lands asked for by the committee from the valley road. Additional members were placed on the committees that are out so- ng funds, and it is expected that by Wednesday night, when the next meeting will be held- here, nearlyall of the re- quired funds will have been raised.

Badgley Sgys He Saw Actor Curtis Kill Police- man Grant. Captain Lees Does Not Credit the Statement and Points Out Many Discrepancles. STOCKTON, CaL., April 8.—A story is | told in the new Evening Record that H. | P. Badgley, the only eye-witness of the | killing of Policeman Grant in San Fran- cisco, was in town Sunday. He is re- ported as saying that he saw the shooting, and that Curtis, *‘Sam’l of Posen,” who was acquitted by a jury, killed the officer. The witness is reported as saying that he was approached by a man who paid him $3000 for a small panel picture, and he went Eastand to Canada until after the trial. He says he was offered $15,000 to perjure himself, but would not do so. Captain Lees was seen at his residence last night, and after reading the dispatch from Stockton he said: 1 remember that a man named Badgley testi- fied at the Coroner’s inquest on Grant’s bod%l but from memory I cannot say what his testf mony was. He is wrong in several particulars. He was not the only man who saw the shooting. At the first trial we brought & man named Kahn or Gahn from Humboldt County, who also saw the shooting and so tesiified. He says that Policeman Allen told him he ‘was on Fourth street when he heard the shoot- ing. That was notso. Allen and Policeman Bode were in the Southern police station when they heard the shots fired. Allen started on the dead run and got to the middle of the road- way. Ashe ran he saw a man who proved to be Curtis going diagonally in the direction of Fifth and Folsom streets. At the corner a piece of patent pavement was being laid and it was there Curtis threw his revolver away among the sand. Allen followed him and ar- rested him on the corner of Fifth and a small street running westward. Bode was not such asprinter as Allen, and ran along the sidewalk and fell over Grant’s body. He picked himsélf up and followed Allen and assisted in the arrest of Curtis. Curtis was not taken back to where Grant's body lay, as Badgley states, but was taken direct to the Southern station. 1know, of course, nothing about what Badg- ley states regarding his being bribed. Who the woman was that called upon him and “the man in the case that bribed, I do not know.” e Indians Become Threatening. NELSON, B. C., April 8.—Indians are rising in the Kootenai Valley and threat- ing to shoot workmen on the Reclamation Com ’s works. The co: y has tele- phed the Government for assistance. he Indians are said to come from th American side of the boundary. 1 CARSON MINT STEAL The Shortage Is Known to Be Eighty Thou- sand Dollars. ARRESTS WILL FOLLOW. For Over Five Years the Pilfer- ing Has Been Going On Without Detection. HOW THE WORK WAS DONE. Deposits of Rich Bars Substituted by Metal Containing Less Than Credited. RENO, Nev., April 8.—The Gazette this evening publishes the following concerning the Carson Mint scandal: John T. Jones, asgistant melter and re- ! finer of the United States Branch Mint at Carson, and Ernest Harris, melter in the | melter and refiner’s department, were sus- pended this morning. This may or may not be an indication of what will shortly follow. The Gazette has positive information that the mint short- age amounts to $80,000 and covers a period of about five years, running back to the time that S. C. Wright was Superintendent, then through the two years of T. R. Hofer’'s administration. Hofer was appointed Superintendent at the time of the death of Wright, in the | summer of 1892, and the shortage contin- ued during the present administration. The bullion on hand hasall been re- assayed to ascertain if the value stamped on the “shoes” or bars tally with their true value. It is needless to say that it does not. Inspector Mason is making a most thor- ough examination into Mint affairs and | will undoubtedly succeed in placing the theft where it rightfully belongs. The inspector found that one deposit, containing about $23,000, one-half of which was gold, had been substituted by bars which are valued at only $2000, prin- cipally silver, while the original contained a large percentage of gold. The genuine bars contained 48214 fine grains of gold and 500 fine in silver and | 1734 base, making the 1000 grains, which is'the standard. Approximately the spu- rious bars only contained 24 fine in gold and the balance in silver. This transac- tion alone shows a shortage of about $21,000 and leaves a further stealing of about $60,000 yet to be accounted for, and which | may have been taken during the process of|refining. A bar to be refined containing gold, sil- ver and base is sent to the refining depart- | ment and there undergoes either a sul- | phuric or nitric acid sulphuric acid process a bar of bullion is | | donning an old suit of clethes left on the process. In the placed in a pot over the furnace, sulphuric 00 | acid is poured into the pot over the bar and heat applied. After a certain degree of | heat is attained the bullion is dissolved, | the silver and other metal becoming a liquid, the gold precipitating. The liquid is then siphoned off and placed in a large leaden vat, in mint parlance called a *house,” in the bottom of which are pipes containing hot water and steam, in order to keep the liquid hot. In the bottom of this *‘house’” are a great many bars of copper. Blue vitriol (sulphate of copper) is then poured in and another chemical action then takes place, which causes the silver and other metals in solution to be precipitated. As there is great affinity between them and the copper bars, the molten metal is deposited thereon and they are after- ward taken out and the silver and other metals obtained by scraping them. The precipitated gold, which is described above, undergoes a certain process called “sweat- ing,” after which it is ready to be ran into bars by itself. Gold in this State is neces- sarily very fine—almost pure, being nearly 1000 fine. A Gazette reporter saw United States District Attorney Jones and endeavored to find some information concerning the Mint shortage, but he declined to give out any information except to state that important arrests would be made in a short time and that there may be great surprises when the names are known. Mr. Jones said that the Government has a full corps of men in various departments at various places pro- curing the necessary proof to warrant arrests, and that, notwithstanding the great ingenuity of the criminals in their operations, a very complete chain of evi- dence of their guilt has even at this time been welded. , Further than this Mr. Jones would not speak, but said that when the proper time arrived he would give the press complete information. Civil as well as criminal prozeedings will most likely be instituted against those who are even re- motely connected with the steal. SUICIDE AT REDDING. Edward Beard, an Old Pioneer, Blew His Brains Out While Demented. REDDING,. CaL.,, April 8.—~When the Grand Jury of Shasta County, which has just taken a recess, convenes again in July, that body will be short one member. This morning at 9 o’clock, Edward Beard, one of the old pioneers and most prominent citizens of Shasta County, committed sui- cide at his home at Buckeye, a- small min- ing settlement in the Old Diggings mining district, about eleven miles north of this city. Beard was an old man over 70 years of age. About two years ago he lost his wife, and since that time he became addicted to the use of whisky. When the present Grand Jury was drawn he was among the number of jurymen, and up till the time the jury ad journed he acted in that capac- ity in a manner that in no way denoted that he was of unsound mind. Last Friday, however, he was sum- moned as a witness in a contest case, and his demeanor and actions while on the stand caused considerable comment among his old friends, who thought he acted queer. He went home Saturday and Sun- day afternoon he told his daughter that he intended killing himself on the mor- row. She thought her father was joking and paid no attention to him. Thismorn- ing he ate a hearty breakfast and went up to a saloon in the “‘burg’’ for some whisky. He could get none, so bought a bottle of beer, and returned home and drank it. It was not until this time that his daughter became alarmed. The suicide procured a razor and made preparations to kill him- self with it. His daughter secured the razor and hid it. Beard then brought out his double-barreled shotgun, loaded it and went into another room fer something, when his daughter, suspecting what he was about to do, took the loads out of the gun during his absence and hid them, after which she started to the store to in- form a clerk of her father’s queer actions. She had got but a few yards when she heard a report and returning found her father dead. He had reloaded both bar- rels, placed the muzzle in his mouth and with his foot touched the trigger, com- pletely blowing away the top and fore part of his head. A Coroner’s jury was sum- moned and the jury returned a verdict of suicide. . Mr. Beard is well known throughout Northern California. He conducted a store at Buckeye and was a prominent and respected citizen of the county. The only cause that can be attributed to his rash act was despondency, brought on chiefly by his crayings for liquor. - Wrich is the better—sweet and whole- some food, or the other kind? The for- mer can always be had with the aid of Price’s Baking Powder. FRANK HUNTER'S TRIAL. Some of the Goods Found in the Moun- tains Identified. SAN JOSE, Cav., Aprit 8.--The trial of Frank Hunter, charged with burglarizing Jacob Furnie’s grocery-store, commenced before Judge Lorigan to-day. Hunter and Frank Lighston had a cabin in the mountains, and they made occa- sional raids in this place as their larder became depleted. On New Year's might they came to town and entered Furnie's grocery-store, and carried off enough groceries to last through the winter. Sus- picion was aroused by the large stock of provisions in their cabin, and subsequently they were arrested. The forenoon was occupied in selecting a jury, and this afternoon the prosecution put several witnesses on the stand, among them Mr. Furnie, who identified the goods as those taken from his store, and later recovered from the cabin occupied by Hunter and Lightston. Lighston has not vet been tried. LEFT SAN JOSE QUICKLY, A Confidential Clerk Short in His Accounts Now a Tramp. He Came From lowa With Letters and Had a Similar Experience Over in Oakland. SAN JOSE, Cawn., April8.—E. A. Holt, who has been employed as conhdential clerk and collector for the printing firm of McNeil Bros. for the past three months, has skipped out with $16 50 belonging to his employers. Holt came here several months age with letters of recommendation from the Lin- seed Oil Company of Des Moines, Iowa. He has been collecting a great many bills for the firm and his shortage may be larger. Saturday night he told his landlord that he was disgusted with things and that he had concluded to go south. He packed his letters and clothes together and sent them to his home in Iowa. He hunted up a barber friend and had his hair clipped short ana’ his mustsche shaved off, and 11:45 freight train disguised as a tramp. Holt was about 26 years of age and of good appearance. Whes he came here he told Mr. McNeil a sorrowiu! story, and, as he showed such good letters of recom- miendation, he was at once given employ- ment. It is stated Holt played the same kind of engagement in Oakland before com- ing here. Charges Dismissed. SAN JOSE, Car.,, April 8.—Joseph ‘Wouest, charged with an assault with a deadly weapon, had his examination be- fore Justice Dwyer yesterday. N. Anticevich and a boy were driving along the road in front of Wuest’s place, aud the boy shovalirk on Wuest's property.

Charles Marshall and Frank Hamilton Use Their Guns in a Saloon. AN INNOCENT MAN WOUNDED. His Injuries Are Fatal and Hamilton Is Not Expected to Survive the Shots. SAN JACINTO, CaL., April 8.—A des- perate shooting affray occurred here to- night at the South San Jacinto saloon. Three men were shot and two of them are mortally wounded. Charley Marshall of Bowers and Frank Hamilton, a colored Deputy Sheriff of Cahuilla, did the shoot- ing with 44-caliber Colt’s revolvers. Albert Larsan, an innocent party who happened to pass between Marshall and Hamilton at that moment, received a bul- let from Marshall’s revolver which entered bis back, penetrated through his body, passed through the navel and grazed the right wrist. Hamilton claims Marshall shot twice, | the first one of the bullets entering Ham- ilton’s waist and passing out through his right side, besides two other wounds. Marshall received only a slight wound in his left arm, the bullet entering at the wrist and coming out at the elbow. Andy Koch carried the news over to San Jacinto and notified Dr. Toland that he was wanted immediately. Before the ex- cited citizens could rush to the scene Ham- ilton was brought over to Lockwood’s ho- tel and the physicians summoned. Lar- son, who is suffering the most, has made his will, as Dr. Toland says he cannot live. Hamilton’s wound will also doubtless prove fatal. There seems absolutely no cause for such a double tragedy. Briefly told, the quarrel arose as follows: Hamilton had spent a short time in Jack Winders’ saloon. Jack mentioned a bill owed him by Hamilton and stated the amount. Hamilton said, *‘No, Jack, I don’t owe you but so and so.” Jack said he must be mistaken and Hamil- ton said, good-naturedly, “Oh, that's all right,”” and added as he left the saloon, “We are all liable to mistakes.” Charley Marshall ‘met Hamilton and hearing the remark asked, “And who's mistaken now?"’ Hamilton said, “None your — business,”” Hamilton then ate his supper at a chophouse near by, He claims that Marshall came to him afterward and told bim he should not have given him such | an answer. After having finished supper Hamilton returned to the saloon. Mar- shall followed and after a brief altercation five shots were fired, with the above results. Larson swears Marshall fired the first shot and that it was the one which entered his body. Hamilton corroborates Larson. Marshall claims Hamilton shot first. CALIFORNIA- ELECTIONS, Fresno Has an Exciting Time Over Schoolhouse Location. Woodland and Santa Ana Cast Their Ballots Quietly and Few in Numbers. FRESNO, CaL., April 8.—One of the most warmly contested elections Fresno has known took place to-day. There were two tickets, the Republican and Demo- cratic-Populist, with an independent can- didate for Recorder. The result is: Mar- shal, M. L. Woy (R.); Recorder, A. M. Clark (Ind.); Treasurer, W.

About 1500 votes were cast. Woy received a majority of one, and a recount will probably defeat him. A gen- eral recount is possible. In the election of School Trustees party lines were almost entirely disregarded, the issue being as to the location of the proposed $60,000 high school. s Six or eight men were arrested for illegal voting, one of them being W. D. Grady, a well-known Democratic-Populist, who voted in the wrong ward. All the fusion candidates elected are Democrats with Populist indorsement, no Populist on the fusion ticket being successful.

Officers Believe the Mdrysvitle Train Highwaymen Are Near There. RENO, Nev., April 8.—Officers here bes lieve the two robbers wanted for robbing the Oregon express near Marysville are somewhere north of Reno. Last Friday night ‘a cabin belonging to Sa_m Laugh- ton, opposite his springs five miles west of Reno, was robbed of a quantity of provi- sions and two men. one of whom answers the description of the *little man” wanted, were seen in that vicinity Aby workmen cleaning out the irrigating ditch.

Officers here are morally certain the men seen a:t the Mayberry ranch and near La“ghtonfi are the men wanted and are doing their level best to capture them and the re_ward. They think they are in the vicinity of Honey Lake Valley to-night. Officers here complain that no description of the men wanted has been sent them by the officers below and all they have to go on is the ac- counts in the newspapers. ——— Doings in Sacramento, SACRAMENTO, Car., April 8.—There will be a meeting of the officers of the Na- tional Guara on Wednesday afternoon in the Governor's office for the purpose of considering the law governing the National Guard.
