o = THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, STOCKTON BRIBERY, Charles Ward on Trial for Using Money to Corrupt. CASH PAID FOR A VOTE. Said to Have Purchased the Support of Supervisor Brown. EVIDENCE OF AN ARCHITECT. He Claims to Have Paid $1000 to Secure the Adoption of His Plans. STOCKTON, Car., April 2 Charles H. Ward, charged with giving a bribe to James H. Brown, a member of the Board of Supervisors of this county, was commenced in Judge Smith’s court to-day. Ward, together with Dr. C. H. Bulson, a prominent young physician of this city, was indicted by the present Grand Jury for using money to influence the vote of Brown in behalf of the plans submitted by Architect George Rushforth for the new County Hospital at French Camp. This is the first case of the kind that has ever occurred in this county, which has been remarkably free from corruption, and great interest is naturally taken by the public in the outcome of the trial. Some sensational developments are anticipated before the case closes. Architect Rushforth testified that Dr. Bulson had approached him and imparted the information that his plans would not be adopted, as a rival firm of architects had arranged to pay $1000 to have their plans accepted. Bulson said that he could fix it so that he would be successful on payment -of the same amount, and Rushforth consented to do this. The money, he said, was paid in two equal in- staliments to Dr. Bulson, who disbursed it for the purpose of securing the adoption of the Rushforth plans. The District At- torney said that he expected to prove that the $1000 was divided equally between ‘Ward, who put up the scheme, Bulson and Supervisor Brown. The latter was placed upon the stand late in the afternoon. When asked whether he had received any money from the men indicted for the alleged bribery, he refused to answer, on the ground that it would incriminate him. It was expected that the supervisor would make a positive denial of the charges, and his answers have caused gnite a sensation here, where Brown is highly respected. The trial occupy another day before the case goes to the jur: INSURANCE SUITS DECIDED. Thirteen Companies ILose Heavily by Judge Smith’s Ruling. STOCKTON, Cat., April 29.—Judge Smith to-day decided the insurance suits brought by the Stockton Combined Har- vester and Agricultural works against the Glenns Falls and other insurance com- panies, giving judgment for the plaintiff. In rendering the decision Judge Smith said that the insurance companies had in- sured the property of the plaintiff for $127,000 and that subsequently this prop- erty had been entirely destroyed by fire. This amount of insurance was made with a full knowledge of the value and condi- tion of the property insured. After this fire the defendants agreed to pay $90,000 for the losses sustained after a careful examination into the extent of the losses suffered by the plaintiff. The Judge held that the answer and cross- complaint were not sustained and directed that a judgmentand order for the plain- tiffs be entered. The court remarked that the company had made certain agreements and that no good cause had been shown why these should not have been carried out. This suit involves some thirteen leading fire insurance companies and was stub- bornly fought by them, Attorneys T. C. Van Ness and Budd & Budd appearing for the defendants. The first trial occupied forty-eight days and was won by the plaint- iff, but on an appeal to the Supreme Court the action was remanded for a rehearing. DOINGS AT SHNTA CRUL Novel Plea Advanced by the Attorneys for “Baron’’ Van Kansler. Preparing to Construct a New Courthouse — Pacheco Dles In Fearful Agony. SANTA CRUZ, Cawn., April 29.—C. C. Houck, the attorney for “Baron” Van Kansler, convicted of practicing medicine without a physician’s certificate, advanced anovel point in arguing a motion for a new trial to-day. He contended that the fact of the medical diploma not having been filed does not -constitute a public of- fense within the meaning of the law, but that the law as laid down is that the prac- ticing of medicine without a diploma is a misdemeanor. The physician might have a diploma and not file it, yet he does not commit a public offense. The matter was taken under advisement. ‘While waiting a decision Kansler remains in jail. STILL OWNS THE SITE. A New Courthouse to Be Reared Over the Ashes of the One Destroyed. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., April 29.—After the Courthouse was destroyed by fire last year there was talk of erecting the new structure on another site, it being claimed that the title to the old site was not vested in the county. After some discussion the Supervisors decided to build on the site of the destroyed Courthouse, and purchased an adjoinlng piece of property. The site had been do- nated to the county for Courthouse pur- poses nearly thirty years ago, with the understanding that a courthouse should be erected thereon within two years after the county had been given possession, or the land revert to the donors or their heirs. The question as to the county’s title was referred to District Attorney Lindsay, and to-day he gave his opinion that it was vested in the county, which could com- mence the construction of a structure at any time within the two years and could prosecute the work diligently until com- pletion, even if it extended by the two years. Thisis an important opinion, as the Supervisors are now considering plans for the construction of a new courthouse. The District Attorney suggested thatin order to obviate any difficulty the princi- pal facade should face Cooper street, the same as the facade of the destroyed build- ing did. - DEATH WAS MERCIFUL. The Second Youthful Vietim of Saturday’s Powder Explosion Expires. SANTA CRUZ, CAr., April 29.—Manuel Pacheco, the young boy who was so fright- fully burned while playing with fire and powder several days ago, died this morn- ing. His death was merciful, as the boy suffered terrible agonies. His body was covered with wounds, but death was caused by inhaling the flames. Christie Studenorf, the other victim, was buried from the Roman Catholic church to-day. Fell From a Train. . SANTA CRUZ, CarL., April 20—At the picnic given yesterday at Glenwood by the San Francisco butchers one of the butch- ers fell from the train and received a bad cut on the head. He fell off in a tunnel and the train passed by him, but did not strike him. A handecar came along soon after, and he was picked up and taken to Los Gatos, thence to San Francisco this morning. His name could not be learned. Merchants Must Pay Licenses. SANTA CRUZ, CAL., April 29.—The City Council to-night refused to rescind the ordi- nance relating to traders’ licenses, The mer- chants had *petitioned for the rescinding, charging that the license was unjustand discriminating. The Council contends that the license money would be used in keep- ing the principal business streets in good condition. The matter will now be tested in the courts. Found Guilty of Assault, SANTA CRUZ, CaL., April 20.—The jury this evening found Alexander Penn guilty of assault with a deadly weapon and rec- ommended him to mercy.

It is to try it in making bread, cake, etc., and we are of the opinion that it will be impossible to remove from the minds of our housewives the conviction long ago formed from the application of this practical test, that the Royal does make the best, the most, and the most wholesome, SACRAMENTO AFFRAY, Francisco Morres Uses a Razor to Settle a Grudge. ARRESTED FOR A THEFT. Pitiful Story Told by a Youth Who Stole to Cover Poverty. WEATHER AND CROP REPORTS. Great Benefit Done Throughout the State by the " Recent Rains. SACRAMENTO, CAr., April 30.—A Mex- jcan named C. Marron was terribly slashed by a razor in the hands of a fellow Mexi- can named Francisco Morres shorfly after midnight. His left hand was nearly severed from the wrist by two terrific slashes, and there is a cut fmlly six inches in length across the small of his back, while his head is a network of cuts and | gashes. He pretends to know no cause of the attack, as Morres has always been more than friendly toward him. This mornmng the pair left a friend’s house together. As they entered a dark alley in the Spanish quarter together, Mor- res halted and said: “I have always had a grudge against you, and right here we settle it.” He then drew a razor and began slash- ing. Officers Hayes and Douglas captured Morres at 1:30 A. . They found him secreted in a Spanish lodging-house, and gave him mno chance to resist. He ac- knowledges the cutting, claiming self- defense. It is thought Marron will die. ALL CROPS BENEFITTED. Growing Grain and Fruit Profit by the Recent Downpour. SACRAMENTO, Car., April’ 20.—The average temperature for the week ending April 29 was as follows: KEureka, 52; Fresno, 62; Independence, 58; Los An- geles, 58; Red Bluff, 62; Sacramento, 59; San Francisco, 52; San Luis Obispo, 54, and San Diego, 58. As compared with the normal temperatures, there was a heat de- ficiency at all points of from 1 to 2 degrees, except at Eureka and Los Angeles, where an excess of heat was reported of 1 degree at Eureka and 2 degrees at Los Angeles. The total precipitation during the week was: Eureka, .40 of an inch; Fresno, .90; Independence, a trace; Los Angeles, .30; Red Bluff, .20; Sacramento, .72; San Fran- cisco, 1.10 incies; San Luis Obispo, .60, and San Diego, a trace. As compared with the normal precipitation there wasan excess at Fresno of .68 of an inch; at Los Angeles, .02; Sacramento, .13, and San Francisco, .71, while a deficiency wus reported at Eureka of .48 of an inch; Red Bluff, .29, and San Diego, .19 of an inch. The deficiency of heat and excess of moisture in the Sacramento and the San Joaquin valleys was just what was needed to bring forward the grain and feed and counteract the bad effects of the hot, dry north winds of the previous week. The precipitation of Friday and Saturday was of the greatest benefit to the whole State, as the rains seemed to have been the greatest in the parts of the State where it was needed the most. The week’s weather was very beneficial to crops of all kinds. Some hay that was cut got wet, and a few early strawberries and cherries were some- what damaged by the rain, but the great amount of benefit that all other crops re- ceived from it was greatly in excess of the slight damage done. ASHAMED 0. HIS POVERTY. A Young Man Who Stole Rather Than Ask for Money. SACRAMENTO, CAL., April 29.—Wil- liam Hale Alter was arrested at the railroad depot this evening by Policemen Douglas and Hays and jailed on a charge of grand larceny for purloining a purse containing $80 from a bureau in the residence of Mrs, Nichols at Fifteenth and L streets. The young man tells a pitiful story of his temptation and fall. He says he is the son of Dr. Hale Alter, a wealthy and reputable citizen of Pittsburg, Pa. He claims that he graduated atan Eastern university as an electrician, and was so conversant with every detail of his profes- sion that he obtained a fige position in Los Angeles. Eventually he ®st this position and, ashamed to notify his family of his penniless condition, sought in vain for em- ployment throughout the State. Last week he arrived in Sacramento, and met a friend who had known him in his prosperous days while employed in Los Angeles. This friend assisted him finan- cially, while he sought employment of any nature in Sacramento. This evening he accompanied his friend to the residence of Mrs. Nichols to call on the family, and during their temporary absence from the room the sight of four shining $20 pieces on the bureau created the idea in his mind that here was a method by which he could return home to friends and parents, where he could easily obtain the money he was ashamed to write for from California. The temptation proved irresistible, he caught up the purse, fled from the house and ran rapidly to the depot, purchased a ticket for Reno, and while awaiting the arrival of the overland train, which hap- pened to be late, was captured by the po- lice. The young man, on being brought to the police station, broke down and wept Tike a child, GRANTED A FRANCHISE. Work on the New Telephone Line to Be Pushed at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, Can., April 29.—The City Board of Trustees this afternoon granted a franchise to the New Capital Telephone and Telegraph Company to erect poles and masts for running lines through- out the city. The company has placed its orders for wire, poles, boxes, etc., and will push the enterprise ahead without delay. It has deposited a check for $10,000 with City Clerk Flint for the carrying out of its contract. Over 400 subscribers for three years’ rental of the boxes have been se- cured. IN TROUBLE AT PORTLAND. Government Detective Harris’ Methods idre to Be Investigated. PORTLAND, Ogm., April 29.—“Doc” Davenport, the counterfeiter, to-day pleaded guilty in the United States Dis- trict Court to the charge of having molds in his possession, and of coining spurious dollars, He made the following statement to the court: “Last December a man giving his name as Charles French called at my house on the farm, wnd said that he would like to remain there several weeks trapping, He had traps and he set them. One day he asked me how to make counterfeit dollars, knowing that T underst the business, because I had served a terfh for the offense eight years ago. He gave me 50 cents, with which I bought plaster and solder. I made the molds and a few coins with them. T “French told me that he only wanted to learn out of curiosity, and I did not see any harm in showing him. But soon after- ward I was arrested on this charge. Now that mari French was simply employed by Special Agent of the Treasury N. B. Harris to corner me.” Judge Bellinger demanded an explana- tion from District Attorney Murphy. He arose and said that French had not insti- gated Davenport; that he had simply caught Davenport in the act. This expla- nation did not satisfy Judge Bellinger at all. *You may sit down,”” said he to Daven- port. “I will investigate this matter. Sen- tence will not be passed at this time. De- tectives of the Government have no right to aid in the commission of crime and then come into this court to ask that the crimi- nal be punished. I want it understood that persons who go about instigating crime will not find their business success- ful in this court.”” ALASKAEDITORS ~ FIGHT, Murderous Attack Made Upon Frank Howard by “Rov- ing” Timmins. A Desperate Struggle at Juneau Which Will Probably Result in a Death. NANAIMO, B. C., April 20.—The steam- er Willapa, from Alaska, brings inteili- gence of a murderous attack made by “Roving” Timmins of the Juneau Torch- light upon Frank Howard, editor of vhe Record of that place. The affair dccurred on the evening of the 16th inst., and was caused by an article in the Record, criticiz- ing Timmins’ action at a recent fire. On the evenirg of the publication Tim- mins walked into the Record office and asked Howard if he was responsible for the objectionable article. Howard answered in the affirmative, adding that the state- ment contained therein was correct. How- ard was sitting in a chair and thought the interview ended, as Timmins partly turned as if to go out, but really with the object of throwing Howard off his guard. ‘With a sudden turn Timmins rushed at Howard. With his left hand he reached out and grabbed the latter’s right wrist to hold him down in the chair, while with his right he whipped out of his pocket a 38- caliber revolver and commenced shooting. Howard partly raised himself on his feet and tried to push the weapon from his breast. In the struggle the revolver was discharged and the ball entered his left groin. Timmins tried to raise the revolver to Howard’s breast again and again How- ard turned it aside, and this time the ball missed him. Timmins, nerved on to commit murder, thrust the revolver close to Howard’s face and fired a third shot, the ball entering the left side of the head just behind the ear and shattering a portion of the skull. This shot knocked Howard down, and as he lay bleeding Timmins went out and up the street, giving himself into the custody of Deputy Marshal Hale. Timmins bears a bad reputation, haying on several occasions been engaged in shooting serapes., Howard’s condition was critical when the Willapa sailed. Intense indignation prevails at Juneau against Timmins, as Howard was one of the most popular members of the community. JEFFRIES' CO-OPERATION: He Explains His Plan to a Small Audience in Metro- politan Temple. A Home for the Unemployed—Aid and Work Are to Be So- licited. There was not a large audience in Metro- politan Tempvle last night to listen to E. J. Jeffries explain his system of co-opera- tion as a method of relieving the unem- ployed of the country. In explanation of the lack of numbers, it was stated that the fact that there was to be a meeting of the unemployed had not been sufficiently ad- vertised. J. K. Phillips called the meet- ing to order, and introduced Mrs. Squires of Oregon, who made a few re- marks, insisting on calling those of the fair sex in the audience women, instead of ladies, holding that ‘ladies” were only those of the blue blood of royalty, and that the only way an American woman could become a lady was to follow the example of Miss Gould, and with her millions buy a title. She also declared that while Lincoln had freed 4,000,000 slaves, Cleveland had freed 4,000,000 men and women from the labor theg were engaged in, and E]“ed them in the ranks of the unemployed. Mr. Jeffries then commenced an address which lasted for over two hours. He argued atlength in favor of co-operationwith a view of creating a sotiety of unemployed that should set aside 10 cents a day to create a development fund, which should be used to feed men in a common home. He gave his ideas of how on the zo-operative lan men could be boarded and lodged at 1 per weak each. He announced that he prcgosed to organize societiés in every city in the Union, and in time aggregate a large development fund, and, like the Southern Pacific, become a power in the land. Some one suggested ‘“‘and then run the Government.’” Mr. Jeffries said that if the railroad could run the Government he did not see why the pie should not do so. He also thought that the money spent to maintain almshouses and jails should be devoted to the co-operative movement and there would no longer be any reason for keeping up such institutions. He thought the time was at hand when the working men should either attain a higher civilization or sink back into the darkness of the middle ages. He read a report of Mayor Pingree of Detroit, Mich., on the success of the co-operative farm there, and after explaining the plan he had inaugurated in the north, suggected that the money col- lected to buis the San Joaquin road be used to feed the unemployed, who eould be set at work building the road, and that they be faid part in stock of the company 50 zhlnt he road would be the work of the eople. To-day the officers of the new movement, including Theodore Lynch, the secretary, will start out to collect money or food to inaugurate a home for unemployed, and they will also seek work for them. ————————— Treaction of the San Francisco Board of Health is an unusual tribute to be paid even to an article of so high a character as the Royal Baking Powder. They say, in their judgment, “it is impessible to make a purer or stronger baking powder than e Royal.” APRIL 30, 1895. A EUGENE MIRACLE. Mrs. Emma Wylie’s Re- markable Restora- tion to Health. CURED BY FAITH ALONE. For Years Her Case Had Baf- fled the Treatment of Physicians. ARISES FROM A SICK BED. She Has Completely Recovered Her Voice and Can Sing as in Her Girlhood. EUGENE, Or., April 20.—A case of faith-cure paralleling that of Mrs. O. B. Flower, the wife of the editor of the Arena, has just come to light here. It is that of Mrs. Emma- Wylie, who for many years had been under treatment by able physicians, but without receiving any ap- parent aid. The statement of her case is given in her own language to the CALL correspondent. “For twenty-five years I suffered se- verely from neuralgia and rheumatism,” said she, “‘and fourteen years ago I under- went an attack of typhoid fever, which brought on a complication of diseases. Three years later the trouble became so serious that I was entirely unable to walk until a few days ago, and during the entire period I was hardly free of pain. “A year ago I began praying for strength, firmly believing that if I could only have faith I would be healed; and one Sunday night, while thinking of the risen Lord, a strong feeling of belief in his power to heal my trouble cama over me. The following day I felt weaker, but by asking for strength I kept up faith, and was much encouraged by thinking of such passages of the Bible-as ‘Rejoice, and be glad, for the Lord will do great things;’ ‘See, I have commanded you,’ and of such works as were wrought for Jonah and the sick at the pool of Siloam. “I was still worse Tuesday; but that afternoon, while sitting on my invalid’s chair and engaged in cleaning a lamp, a strange feeling entered my mina, and straightway I began to think of the resur- rection. ‘Why not make an effort to rise and walk, and have faith that it will be s0? was the thought. The impulse be- came conviction, and yielding I stretched out my arms and stood upon my feet. The effort cost me no pain; and since that day to this T have been in excellent health, can go up and down stairs, do ordinary house- work and attend church. In truth,Iam completely cured, but strangest of all, I have recovered my voice and can sing as in my girlhood.” Mrs. Wylie is 40 or 45 years old, of medium height, has black hair and a pair of beautiful brown eyes that look mourn- fully over features very thin and emaci- ated by long and continued suffering. She wore a simple black dress. She came to Oregon from New York State about four years ago. She talked freely, in a low but clear and well modulated voice. Upon hearing the news of their mother’s strange and complete recovery, her two children, Miss Linnie Wylie and Henry Wylie, who were away from home, hurried to her to rejoice in their mother’s return to health. PULLED OUT A PISTOL. Fred Ray, a Gambler, Has an Effective Way of Collecting & Debt. Fred Ray, a sure-thing gambler, was ar- rested on Market street yesterday after- noon by Policemen Graham and Coleman on the charges of robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. - On Saturday night about 10 o’clock Ray accompanied by a friend named Winke!- man entered the saloon of Nicholas Orth, 2500 California street. Ray ordered drinks and threw a 50-cent piece on the counter. As Orth handed him the drinks he picked up the b50-cent piece. Orth declined to serve ‘the liquor without payment when Ray pulled a revolver out of his pocket, pointed it at Orth and ordered him to throw up his hands. Orth obeyed }rrompt\y and Ray said: “Now give me the §325 you owe me or I'll blow your head off.” The threat had such an effect upon Winkelman, who was stand- ing beside Ray, that he fainted, Orth de- nied ever having seen Ray before but rather than have his head blown off he handed Ray the money. Ray then ran out of the saloon. Orth appeared in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday morning, and swore out warrants for Ray’s arrest on the charges specified. ' To the officers who arrested him Ray said that he had been swindled ont of §90 by another gambler., and he thoughbt he would find him in Orth’s sa- loon. He was mad at losing the money, and as he was hard up he was determined to get the $325 which he asserts Orth owed him. SCOTS AT WAR. Members of the Thistle Club Disagree a8 to the Lease of Their Quarters. The members of the San Francisco This- tle Club have been rent into factions over the matter of the rent of their late quar- ters at 115 Minna street. Some of the feel- ing found vent in Judge Murphy’s court yesterday, in the hearing of a suit brought against the club by Thomas E. Ryan, as assignee of the claim of Auerbach & Thompson for $140, rent of the premises. The courtroom was filled with prawny Scots, and the pleasant Scottish burr was thick on the air. A special committee, consisting of Messrs. Brown, Dick and Mc- Keunzie, had been appointed to secure quarters in March, 1893. The other two had delegated their powers to McKenzie, who secured the premises on Minna stree on a lease for four years at §35 a month, which he pocketed ‘and finally turned over in January, 1894, to the treasurer, so he testified, but the lease was not produced, and McKenzie stated that he believed it had been purposely destroyed. There was no record of the lease on the minutes of the club, and the testimony was conflicting. Among the witnesses were; John Ross, A. R. Patterson, Donald Mci{ny, James R. ‘Watson, J. Manderson and Fred Thane. After wrestling with the problem all the afternoon the court finally took it under advisement upon briefs. As a matter of useful information it may be stated that whenever a cooking receipt calls“for a baking powder the “Royal” should be used. The receipt will be found to work better and surer, and the bread, biscuit, rolls, cakes, dumplings, crusts, puddings, crullers or whatever made, will be sweeter, lighter, finer-flavored, more dainty, palatable and wholesome.

L. M. PARVISH, Portland, Or. MRS. ANNIE LAWSON says: “I live at 393 Har- rison st., Portland, Or. I was aflicted with stomach trouble of a very serious character for the past ten vears, much of which time I was confined to my bed. I was treated by several of the best pAysicians, both of Seattle and this city, and while under their treatment would at times appear to improve a little, but only for a short period, when I would relapse and con- tinue to get worse. Several of my doctors said I conld not be cured. I gave up all hope of ever being well again. Some said I had catarrh or cancer of the stomach. My suffering was almost intolerable. My tongue would some- times be parched with fever until great cracks would appear on its surface, such as I have never before seen, and I can’t deseribe it. I lived on bofled milk, and drank that cold. I bad ice or cold water on my tongue most of the time; in fact, it wes ail that seemed to keep mealive. Well, as the old adege goes, ‘drowning men caich at straws.’” Some of my friends ad- vised me to try Microbe Killer. I had tried everything else without getting relief, so with little faith of its curing me I didse. ButIam happy to say that I began to improve from the start, gaining one pound in flesh every week for several months untilI gained twenty odd pounds, sndam now well, eating anything that I wish. “My husband has used it in cases of bad colds and kidney trouble, for which iv seemed to act as a specific. In fact Iknow of no disease in which I would not prefer it to any other remedy.” Flattering Reports From Suffolk Medi- cal Dispensary of Boston, Mass, Among the many publie institutions to whom we have sent Radam’s Microbe Killer for trial, is the Suffolk Free Dispensary, situated in the old North End, Boston. The physicians there gave the remedy a thorough trial on some of their worst chronic cases. The president, Mr. C. A.Smith of Smith, Benedict & Co., Boston, says “that in every in- stance the results were most flattering, proy- ing conclusively that the preparation is a microbe or germ destroyer of the highest order and a powerful antiseptic, perfectly harmless to the human system.” Mr. Smith will cheerfully answer any com- municatien from physicians or others relative to this wonderful Microbe Destroyer. BosToN, February 1, 1895, M. W. H. WINCHESTER, Engineer of the S. P. R. R., Portland, says:—From ‘exposure and con- stant motion of the engine I have contracted kidney trouble, well as liver and heart trouble, also catarrh, for all of which I find re- lief and am enabled to hold my job, starting out in the middle of the night, working my run of over 200 miles with but very little ress, by the use of Radam’s Microbe Killer.
