- “of 2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1895. WORKING FOR SILVER, Plan of the Democratic Committee Selected at Memphis. ADDRESS TO ADHERENTS. Men of the Party Who Favor Free Coinage Askeddo Meet at Washington. C0-OPERATION IS NOW DESIRED. Leaders Who Believe That Success Depends Upon Their Battle for Sound Money. MEMPHIS, TExy., June 25.—When the silver convention recently held here ad- journed a meeting of prominent silver Democrats was held to formulate plans for the organization of a National bimetallic Jeague, the purpose of which was declared to beto soon perfect the organization of silver Democrats throughout the country, s0 as to place them in control of county, State and National conventigns in their expressions upon the financial question. Senators Turpie of Indiana, Jonmes of Arkansas and Harris of Tenncssee were the leaders in the movement. It was decided to issue an address to silver Democrats throughout the United States asking their co-operation in the work. This letter has been prepared and a copy follows: Dear Sir:, Soon after the adjournment of the silver convention held in this city on the 12th and 13th inst., many Democrats, representing geven States of the Union, held a meeting here for the purpose of considering the best method of securing the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold into fuil legal tender money of ultimate redemption at the ratio of 16 to 1, without regard to the financial policy of other countries, and it was agreed as the confident opinion of that conference: First—That the only hope of securing free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1is through the action of the Democratic party. Second—That a large majority of the Demo- cratic party of the country and a very large majority of the people of the United States irrespective of party, favor such coinage. Third—That the success of the Democratic party in the campaign of 1896 largely 'if not wholly depend, upon the earnest and active advocacy of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Fourth—That a thorough organization of the Democrats of the several States who favor the free and unlimited coinage of both metals on terms of equlity, sixteen to one, is & necessary and proper means of controlling action of the National Democratic Convention of 1896 on this important question. Fifth—That in order to avoid friction and the complaint of such Democrats as oppose the iree coinage of silver we will not invoke the action of the regular machinery of the party, whose duty it is to set for the whole party withouy regard to differences of opinion upon 8 single question. Therefore, we, the undersigned, were ap- pointed a committee to take such steps as may be necessary to a thorough National organiza- tion of the silver Democrats, and for that pur- pose we respectiully invite you to meet us in Washington, D. C., on the 14th day of August, 1895, in order that we may confer and co- operate in establishing such an organization. You are also requested to bring with you such Democratic iriends as are in full sympathy with this purpose. It is important that some Democrat acceptable to the Democracy of your State who is willing to represent it on a Na- tional executive committee should attend this conference. An early answer to Hon. Casey Young, Memp his, will greatly oblige. IsHAM G. HARRIS, J. K. JoxEs. DaviD TURPIE. SILVER DEMOCRATS SMILE. Delighted by the Change in Secretary Morton’s Views. OMAHA, NesBr., June 25.—A few weeks ago a “sound money’’ Democratic league was organized here. To-day this league issned an address signed by about 200 Democrats of the State. Heading the list is the name of Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton. The appearance of this name created a sensation, for the address of the league contained an expression in favor of international bimetallism, and the Becretary is on record as saying, not long ago, that the gold standard is the only one possiblej and that the idea of international bimetallism is nonsense. This evident change of opinion has caused some of the friends of the Sec- retary much indignation, and they charge the league with baving signed his name to the document without consulting him or letting him know the contents of the aa- dress. The silver Democrats are delighted with the apparent inconsistency of the utterances and the league officers have not made any statement as yet in regard to the matter. CONTROLLED BY BRICE. Democrats of Ohio Ignore the Demands of Silver Men. COLUMBUS, Osio, June Senator Brice and the anti-free silver Democrats practically controtled the State Central Committee in its meeting to-day to fix the date of the State Convention and to pro- vide a temporary organization., The de- mand of Allen W. Thurman and the free silver members for an early convention was ignored. The convention, it was de- cided, will be held in Springfield on August 20 and 21. Senator Brice, by a vote of 19 to 2, was cbosen temporary chairman, and so will make the keynote speech of the campaign. It will, of course, be for “sound money.” His election was subse- quently made unanimous. H. W. Lewis Dayton was chosen secretary and George Foster of Upper Sandusky sergeant- at-arms, GERMANY AND SILVER. Baron Von Thiclman Says His Country Is Not Ready to Act. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25.—The German Embassador, Baron von Thiel- man, was asked this morning by a United Press reporter what action Germany will take with reference to the calling of an international monetary conference. Baron von Thielman replied: “*Speaking. strictly for myself and not officially I don’t believe Germany will take the ipitiative. A largeand influen- tial clement of our population are de- manding an inflation of our national finances. . This element believes that we need more silyer. They are bimetal- lists. They include very generally the agrarian population of the north and east. The conditions with them are not dissimilar to those among the so-called granger element in the United States, par- ticularly in the SBouth and West. In both countries, the price of farm products has materially decreased, and a change for the better in their opinion can only come through a redundacy of the circulating medium.” “Will not the Agrarian element be suffi- ciently powerful to force the Government to issue invitations to an international monetary conference?’’ i “Speaking strictly for myself, I should say not. The majority of our States, we have twenty-five in all, oppose the propo- sition. I am certain that the Imperial Government will take no stepin the matter until the Reichstag assembles in Novem- ber. Much will depend upon their action.” L A GENERAL ITH DYING. Career of the Noted Statesman, Soldier and Minister. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25.—Gen- eral Green Clay Smith, a descendant of the famous Kentucky statesman, Henry Clay. is dying of blood poisoning occasioned by a malignant carbuncle, at his home in this city. General Smith was a candidate for Vice- President against Andrew Jobnson at the Baltimore convention of 1864 and came within half a vote of receiving the nomina- tion on the ticket with Lincoln. He was the nominee of the Prohibition party for President in 1876. He served two terms in Congress from Kentucky. General Smith’s military career was a brilliant one, and he was breveted Major- General by President Lincoln for his gal- lantry in the field. He entered the Bap- tist ministry in 1879, came to Washington as pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church in 1890, where he has continued since. He has been as popular a minister as he was politician. Atalate hour to-night Rev. Mr. Smith was in a rational state and friends said he had been conversing with them. They believe that the patient’s vitality is such that he will survive several da; SUICIDE IN A COURTROOM, George Walker,a Man of Many Aliases, Prefers Death to Further Trial. He Was Implicated in Pension Frauds and Had Already Served One Term. NEW ORLEANS, La., June 25.—Dr. George Walker, alias Jones, alias White, alias Johnson, commitied suicide to-day in the United States Circuit Court while | awaiting trial for being implicated in the recent pension frauds that have occurred here. Walker has already served one term in the parish prison. When hiscase came up to-day he retired for a few minutes into a closet in the courtroom, where he was dis- covered by the officers with his throat cut from ear to ear. He had told a friend that he would rather die than serve a second term in prison. Walker had been operating suc- cessfully among negro women for some time past as a pension-claim agent, and collected considerable amounts from them for their claims. MADE A QUICK STOP. But Not Quick FEnough to Save All the Passengers. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 25.—The lives of thirty people were miraculously saved early this morning by the remarkable stop of a fast freight train on the West Pennsyl- vania Railway, near Bharpsburg bridge. Five people were injured and one will die. The accident was caused by a freight train striking a trolley-car on the crossing. The trolley pole slipped from the wire just as the car got on the railway rails, leaving the car in darkness and helpless. While the conductor was endeavoring to replace the trolley pole a freight train approached at full speed. There was ascrambieamong the passengers and nearly all got out. Engineer Black saw the situation and re- versed the engine, making a most remark- able stop, not, however, until the trolley- car was wrecked and Motorman Daniel Nolan and four passengers were badly in- jured. L LURED AWAY AND ROBBED. Pseudo Officers Fatally Beat a Colorado Man. DENVER, Coro., June 25.—William Middleton, a vegetable gardener living in the suburb of Colfax, was lured from his home and robbed of $615 and nearly mur- dered by two footpads, who represented themselves to be officers of the law and claimed to have a warrant for his arrest on the charge of passing counterfeit money. One thousand dollars in bills, which was sewed in his vest, was overlooked by the robbers. Middleton received six scalp wounds and a bad cut on the chest in the ensuing encounter, and is now lying at the County Hospital in a precarious condition. He is not expected to recover. A vigilance committee has been organized to hunt for the miscreants, and if captured they will be speedily and unceremoniously dealt with. Saager KILLED TWO GIRLS. Murderous Deed of a Disappointed Swain in Georgia. TALLULAH FALLS, GA., June 25— Seymour Keener killed his two cousins, Liilie and Laura Moore, on Sunday. The families live in the Tennessee Valley. Keener was rejected by Lillie two years ago and he threatened to killher. Yester- day afternoon as the two girls passed Keener’s house he followed them and hid by the road until they were returning, when he ran out on them with a pistol in each hand. Laura, the younger, threw herself be- tween her cousin and her sister. Keener shot Laura and then Lillie. He is28 years old. Laura was 17 and Lillie 19. e Two Miners Perish. BOONE,* Towa, June 25.—John Mar- shall Jr., son of the owner of the Crowe and Marshall Coal Company, was over- come by firedamp while at work in a new shaft. John Thunell, a miner, tried to save him, but was also overcome. A third miner went down, but could not rescue the two men, and they were dead when the firedamp was forced out of the mine by the ventilators, so that the rescuers could get to them, i e An Editor in Jail. OMAHA, NEsr., June 25.—Judge Scott refused to continue bail tor A. W. Baker, publisher of the Gretna Reporter, to-day, and he was also refused motion for a new trial. Baker was then sent to jail. His offense was in publishing a libel on the foreman of the Grand Jury alleging that he had dissipated while on duty. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. Much sympathy is felt for Baker. e Murder of a Printer. DENVER, Coro., June 25.—A special from Socorro, N. M., says that the dead body of J. C. Alsopp, a printer, formerly of Chicago, was found in the arroyo north of the city to-day. His head was missing, and there was evidence of foul play. Al- sopp came to Denver irom Chicago a year ago and was a member of an anarchist so- ciety. The Coroner’s jury will investigate to-morrow. TWO ILLEGAL WIVES, Escapades of Dashing Carlisle Norwood Greig. ONE SPOUSE DISGUSTED. Tried to Secure a Divorce, but There Was No Knot to Sever. NOTED CAREER IN COLORADO. Fall of a Cultured Financler by His Elopement With a Kangaroo Dancer. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25.—Mrs. Rachel Greig finds herself in a very pecu- liar position. She married Carlisle Nor- wood Greig on February 27, 1892, at Bos- ton, and after living with him for several years she says she discovered he was a married man and the father of three children. She immediately left him and applied to the court to have the marriage annulled. Judge Beach, before whom the case was tried, has just decided that proof of marriage of Mrs. Greiz No. 1 is in- sufficient, as is also that of the prior mar- riage to the woman with whom Greig is now living, and therefore he connot grant her the decree. Mrs. Greig No. 2 ‘was formerly Miss Allen. She was born in San Francisco in 1866. She is the mother of one child, of whom Greig is the father. DENVER, Coro., June 25.—The New York Dispatch of to-day, telling of the career of Carlisle Norwood Greig and his double marriage, is interesting to resi- dents of this State, where Greig lived for a year or two and cut awide swath. He came to Colorado from Albany, N. Y., with letters from Bishop Doaue and several prominent citizens of the capital of the Empire State, which aided him in securing a position in the Bank of Glenwood Springs. This position, however, was too contracted for Mr. Greig’s abilities and he soon drifted to Denver, where he became a member of the exclusive clubs, director of one or two in- vestment companies and assisted in organ- izing the Denver Water Storage Company, an enterprise with a capital of several millions. In 1891 he went East to sell the bonds of this company, and opened a luxurious suite of offices at 45 Broadway, New York. At this time “Dr. Bill'” was the reigning success at the Garden Theater, and its fea- ture was Miss Ray Allen, who, as the kan- garoo-dancer, had the metropolis at her feet. Greig, in his new position as “a man abeut town,” met Miss Allen and became infatnated. He forgot his business, his wife and children, and one day eloped with the pretty kicker, the flash of whose skirts bad set many a New York Johnnie half daft. The pair proceeded west and it appears were married. Greig’s money giving out, the new bride left her associate at Kansas City, and he proceeded to San Francisco. There he spent a season around the news- paper offices and became quite well known on the coast. Finally his first wife after hearing of his escapades tendered the olive branch and Greig returned East to Chicago, where he obtained employment with Lord & Norris. Then he became the business manager of the Inter Ocean, but retired from that position upon the purchase of the paper by William Penn Nixon. Then he went to New York, assuming a prominent place on the World. It was while in New York that Miss Allen, whose popularity had greatly waned in this interval, first heard that Greig was a married man years be- fore she met him. She immediately began proceedings, and to avoid awkward conse- quences he took a steamer for London, where he now resides. He is a person of considerable culture, and his friends say would have been a man of decided mark in the financial world had he not been in- fatuated by the kangaroo-dancer, whose unsuccessful application for a divorce was told in these dispatches this morning.

Mr. Smith is well known as the author of some of the most popular songs of the day, including “Swinging in the Grapevine Swin” and “Listen to My Tale of Woe.” e THE GOLD BOND CUNTRACT. ZThere Has Been No Modification of the Original Provisions. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 25.—There was considerable inquiry at the Treasury Department to-day as to whether the Bel- mont-Morgan syndicate had secured a modification to the effect thatthe syndicate would not be compelled to import $30,000,- 000 of foreign gold. Assistant Secretary Hamlin, in this connection, made the fol- lowing statement: “There has been no modification of the contract, and the pro- vision that one-half of the gold of the total amount of the loan shall be brought from abroad is to be carried out. Some of the importations of foreign gold were made in advance of the time stipulated in the con- tract, but this did not involve any modifi- cation of the contract.” IR L R Pacific Coast Patents.

According to the Laws of North Carolina They Are Subject to Indictment. RALEIGH, N. C., June 25.—A few days ago the engagement of A. G. Barier, a well-known architect of this city, and Miss Rachael Blythe was announced. The lat- ter is a half-blooded Cherokee Indian, but is highly educated and accomplished. Her mother was a full-blooded Cherokee, liv- ing in the western section of this State. The daughter has moved in good society here and was the official stenographer at the late State convention of teachers. Her father was a man of some prominence and was a member of the North Carolina Legis- lature for several terms. The daughter, after her father’s death, became the ward of the late Major J. B. Neathery of this city, a prominent Mason, and she was principally educated at the State Masonic Orphan Asylum at Oxford, N. C. She has been a welcome social visitor at the houses of leading people. When the wedding day approached a legal friend of the prospective bridegroom advised him to have the ceremony per- formed outside of North Carolina, as there was an old law which would affect the legality of his marriage to a person of In- dian descent in this State. Accordingly they went to Washington, D. C., where the ceremony was duly performed last week. When they were getting ready to return to make their home in Raleigh, an examination into the law disclosed that they could not live here as man and wife without subjecting themselves to indict- ment, as the law absolutelv prohibits the marriage of Indians to the third genera- tion inclusive, and whites in this State— that is to say, even their children could not legally marry white people in this State. This provision is, however, simply statutory and not constitutional, as in the case with the law prohibiting intermar- riage between whites and blacks to the sixteenth degree, and the marriage of Mr. Bauer and Miss Blythe can be legalized by the Legislature, as will probably be done. But, as the Legislature will not meet again until January, 1897, they will be compelled to make their home elsewhere for the next year and a half. The attention which this case is attracting and the hardships the law works to these deserving and popular young people will probably lead to the re- peal of the law. MURDERED BY A BURGLAR The Cashier of a Chicago Street Railway Company Shot Down. Bullets Poured Into the Victim’s Body After He had Been Fatally Wounded. CHICAGO, Irv., June 25.—C. B. Birch, one of the cashiers of the West Chicago Street Railway Company, was murdered in his office at the car barns at Milwaukee ana Armitage avenues early yesterday morning and his cash drawer was rifled of from $100 to $200. Birch was alone in his office when the burglar entered. The cashier was in a wire cage, but had left the door open. The burglar came in and demanded the money in the drawer. Mr. Birch reached for his revolver and was immediately shot. He fell to the floor bult managed to fire one shot, which went wild. The burglar fired three more shots into his body, and then, emptying the cash drawer, ran out with its contents and es- caped. The safe in the office contained $5000 in currency, and the door was open, bat this Was 1ot touched. Mr. Birch died this morning at 7 o’clock, and while he was able to give agood description of his murderer no trace of him Las yet been found. John Klein was arrested in the yard during the evening and taken to the West North avepue station. He formerly worked for the street railway company, and the arrest was made in pursuance of the theory that discharged employes were implicated in the killing of the cashier. SR San Franciscans Sail Away. NEW YORK, N: Y., June 25.—Among the passengers who sailed per steamer Spree for Southampton and Bremen to-day were: Mr. E. H.

Peralta-Reavis, the claimant, was immediately placed under arresty CUBA AIDED BY HAYTI, Rebels of the Islands Form an Offensive League. MEN AND SHIPS GAINED. In Return Cubans Will Assist in an Uprising Against Hippolyte. ARMS SENT FROM JAMAICA. A Swift Sailing Yacht Which Eludes the Big Cruisers of Spain. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25 chant who recently arrived in New York from Kingston, Jamaica, told a reporter yesterday that the Cuban insurgents have found allies among the revolutionists in Hayti. According to his information, the .Cubans have agreed to furnish arms and money to General Maingat, the leader of the Haytien revolutionists, who seek to overthrow President Hippolyte. In return, General Maingat has promised to aid with men and ships the Cuban strugele for independence. It is claimed that the steps taken by President Cleveland and the State Department to prevent the ship- ment of supplies and arms to insurgentsin Cuba has hastened the negotiations between the revolutionist partiesin Haytiand Cuba. “Under the agreement just concluded,” said the informant, “Hayti will doubtless become a headquarters for the Cuban patriots. Should General Maingat over- throw Hippolyte and succeed to the Hay- tien presidency, he can throw into the Cuban cause an army of 10,000 men and a fleet of four warships. Maingat isa strong candidate for the presidency, but has no money; hence his alliance with the Cuban insurgents. ‘“There are about 500 Cuban patriots in Jamaica, also a number of British subjects of Cuban birth who have business inter- ests and relatives in Cuba. The Cuban leaders in Jamaica are under instructions from the patriotic circle in New York, and a great deal of money contribu- ted to the Cuban cause is for- warded here. Jamaica is the medium through which many communications are seat from Cuban insurgents to American sympathizers, and through which funds are sent to the front. Com- munication between Cuba and Jamaica is kept up by means of a small, fast-sailing yacht, which makes the passage between the two islands in one night. The landing in Jamacia is made at Buff Bay, a small seaport on the northern coast, and from there a messenger proceeds to Kingston by train. On the return passage the yacht generally carries a consignment of ammu- nition, gold and a half dozen patriots.” GUERRILLAS FIGHT A BATTLE. Trouble Caused by a Proclamation in Santiago de Cuba. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cusa, June 15.— The proclamation issued by the military Governor of Santiago de Cuba on June 10, prohibiting the peopie of this city or the inhabitants of towns and villages in the province from leaving for the open coun- try between sunset and sunrise, under penalty of being shot, has caused a fight between two bodies of Spanishf guerrillas, in which they had twelve killed and wounded. Among those killed was a lieu- tenant. The French Consul visited the Governor in regard to this proclamation and stated that as he, the Consul, had many subjects in the country and towns who may have to leave their houses at night, he will hold the Government responsible if anything happens to such subjects. The Governor promised to look into the affair. Natur- ally all the foreign citizens here are anx- ious to make the same protest, but as yet the French Consul is the only one who has done so. On Wednesday, June 12, some Spanish troops had an engagement with the rebels in Banes, Gibara, fighting severely for two hours. No details of the battle have as yet been received here. Small encount- ers occur daily. According to a passenger who arrived here to-day from Baracoa the insurrection is growing constantly stronger. The sanitary condition of this city is very bad. Iu theweek ending to-day there have been sixty-four deaths, eight of which were of yellow fever. This isa high death rate for the city. The military hospital has more than 500 sick and wounded sol- diers. Last evening sixteen soldiers ar- rived here from the country, sick with yellow fever. Last night the insurgents burned a large village called San Leandro, near Palma Seriano. TO PRESERVE NEUTRALITY. Every Effort Will Be Made to Checlk Fili- bustering Expeditions. WASHINGTON. D. C., June 25.—From this time on the Government will spare no effort to capture and punish any expedi- tion that attempts to leave the United States coast to violate the neutrality laws by aiding Cuban insurrectionists. In addition to the three warships, Atlanta, Raleigh and Montgomery, keep- ing a sharp lookout in the high seas, explicit orders for a thorough patrol of our own coast have been issued to the com- manders of the revenue cutters McLane, stationed at Key West; Penrose, at Pensacola; Forward, at Mobile; Sea- ward, at Bay St. Louis; Galveston, at Galveston; Todd and Morrill, recently sent to Key West temporarily. The de- termination is also expressed by the offi- cials of the Treasury Department to aug- ment this force if it is ineffectual by send- ing one of the three cutters from the North Carolina sounds and one of the three from Chesapeake to the gulf coast. But it is not believed this will be necessary, as there are already seven vessels in addition to the warships, and they ought to prove sufii- cient. » FOUGHT WITH THE REBELS. A Lively Scrimmage in Which Ex-Mayor Cascllas Was Killed. HAVANA, Cusa, June 25.—Captain- General Campos arrived here at 2 o'clock this morning from the south side of the island. The rebel leader Borrero has been killed in an engagement at Alta Gracia, in the Remedios district. A detachment of Government troops met on the San Jose sugar estate, situated in the province of Santa Clara, an insurgent band, led by ex-Mayor Casellas, who re- cently deserted to the rebels with many of the men he commanded in a volunteer regiment. In the fighting that followed Casellas and two other rebels were killed and seventeen wounded. The Government loss was two killed and thirteen wounded. 1t is believed that this band will break up now that its leader is dead. . A dispatch from Cienfuegos states that it is reported there that the rebel band com- manded by Pino has been captured by Government troops. General Masso Surrounded. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25.—A special cable dispatch to the Heral® from Santiago de Cuba says: Advices from Manzanillo are to the effect that General Masso has been surrounded, and his capture is probable. Borero Said to Have Been Killed. MADRID, Spary, June 25.—An official dispatch from Havana says that the Cuban rebels have been defeated at Puerto Bayamo and Montijo. The rebel leader Borero is reported to have been killed. ATTACHES THE EXCHANGE. How Lyon Lost Money on His Riverside Orange Contract. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25.—An at- tachment for $6683 against the Riverside Fruit Exchange of California has been re- ceived by the Sheriff in favor of Leroy M. Lyon, doing business as Lyon Brothers of this city, for alleged breach of contraci. Mr. Lyon said to-day that he purchased oranges from the Riverside Fruit Ex- change under an agreement whereby the exchange wonld not send any oranges to this city to be sold at auction or commis- sion, but it did send oranges here and the market price for 36,400 poxes which Mr. Lyon had was reduced from $3 75 a box to $1 75 and $2 75 a box. He claims damages for the difference. RIOTERS RULE THE TOWN Italian Laborers Committing Depredations in an Indiana Community. Citizens Take Up Arms to Guard Their Homes From the Mad- dened Mobs. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp., June 25.—At the town of Rockport, Spencer County, Ind., a conflict between citizens and Italian labor- ersis imminent. Two hundred Italians have been employed in construction on the Chicago, Tadianapolis and Rockport Rail- road, but for nearly three months they have not received their wages. Last night they visited the headquarters of the contractors, and finding them de- serted became convinced that there was no prospect of receiving their pay. Many of them got drunk and rioting began. The officers of the law were powerless todo anything. Stores were broken open and goods carried away. The citizens shut themselves up in their houses and stood guard all night with guns and pistols, while business houses were abandoned to the rioters. The Sheriff has summoned 500 citizens to assist him in preserving the peace, but the Italians so far seem to be masters of the situation. PLANNED AN EXPLOSION Sensational Charges Against a New York Labor Union. Detectives Claim It Had Declded to Destroy a Hat and Cap Factory. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25.—Louis Friedman, 19 years old, a Russian Jew, was held in the Tombs Police Court to await requisition papers on the charge of conspiracy and robbery. The complainants are Nathan Mopschick, Louis Bernstein and Hyman Goldberg, who owned a hat and a cap factory in Ruther- ford, N. J. They charge Fried- man and twenty others with con- spiring to rob their factory.

DENNIS M'CARTHY’S DEED Deliberately Attempted a Mur= der for Which There Was No Provocation. THREATS OF MOB VIOLENCE. The Community Aroused Over the Tragedy Enacted on the Crooks Ranch. SANTA ROSA, CaL, June 25.—Dennis MeCarthy of San Francisco deliberately shot George Fox on 8. Crooks’ ranch, be« tween Santa Rosa and Bellevue, about 1 o’clock to-day. The bullet was fired from a 38-caliber revolver and the ball entered Fox’s left shoulder, lodging in the left lung. Fox is in a precarious condition and will die. Distrfct Attorney Seawell went to the scene of the tragedy this after- noon to take Fox’s deposition. Dennis McCarthy came to Santa Rosa yesterday and bought the pistol with which he did the shooting. On his return to Crooks’ ranch he declared his intention of killing Crooks because of some fancied injury, but fortunately Crooks was absent. McCarthy then walked into the stable, where Fox was eugaged in harness- ing a horse to take the family driving, and when within four feet of him raised the pistol and said; “I'll give it to you, you —," and taking deliberate aim he pulled the trigger. The people in the house heard the report of the gun and rushed to the stable, where Fox had fallen beside the horse he had been harnessing. McCarthy in the mean- time had climbed to the hayloft, and stood there in the doorway waving his pistol backward and forward and declaring that he would shoot any one who attempted to come near him. After awhile he cooled down, and when Constable Corbett arrived on the scene he voluntarily gave himself up and was brought to Santa Rosa for imprisonment. While in prison he wrote a long letter to his sister, who lives at 1717 Jessie street, San Francisco, notifying her of his trouble and requesting her to ask his father to come to him at Santa Rosa. McCarthy came from San Francisco about two months ago and went to work on the Crooks place. When drinking he is said to be quarrelsome. He says he is now sorry that he shot Fox, who begged for mercy when his gun was raised. At a late hour it was learned that Fox cannot live, in which case McCarthy is in danger of mob violence.
