THE SAN FREANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1895. 3 FAVORS THE CABLE. Dole’s Government Will Help Forward the Scheme TO GIVE A BIG SUBSIDY. All the Preliminary Steps to Encourage the Lay- ing of Wires. NECKER ISLAND WAS VISITED. The Hawallan Flag Was Raised on the French Frigate Shoals to Shut Out the British. HONOLULU, Hawau, July 27.—The Hawaiian Government has finally con- cluded to place itself in a position to facili- tate cable connection with the outside world, and for that purpose has i‘n_troducca a bill in the Legislature to facilitate the construction and mai enance of telegraph cab in the Pa 1t provides that the President, with the consent of the Cab- inet, is authorized and empowered to negotiate and conclude a contract with 3 corporation or Government any per: ) for the const on, maintenance and operation of telegraph cable or cables the several islands of the re- connec 0 public or connecting the republic of Ha- waii wi ies lying or bordering ific Ocean; also for the free ny Government lands necessary, to t free of duty all material to be used vely in its construction, and for the remission of taxes for a term of years yet to be decided on. The Government is also to be empowered to grant any such en- terprise financial assistance, which may consist of a fixed semi-annual subsidy, a guarantee of the principal or interest or both of a stated amount of the bonds, & subsidy consisting of certain amounts of bonds of the republic at stated periods, a subscription 1o the capital stock of the company, a guarantee of a certain amount of income per annum, or the participation with other Governments in the joint con- tion and ownership of such cable. tract made under the bill is sub- to the ratification and approval of the ture where. the payment of money d. ousand dollars is appropriated for pose of obtaining the necessary in- 1 as to cost of cables and the la; i maintenance thereof for the use of the Government. The bill has passed its first reading in the Senateand in answer to a question as to whether it would not conflics with existing treaties with the United States the Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that that matter would re- ceive the careful ccnsideration of the ex- ecutive when any contract was made. The revenue cutter Lehuna returned this morning from a trip to Necker Island, the real object of the expedition being to hoist the Hawaiian flag ~n French Frigate Shoals, which lie near that island and which it was feared would be seized by Great Britain for cable purposes. The Lehus left here on Tuesday night, the 9th inst., and arrived at Necker Island at 6 o’clock on Friday morning, A fresh flag- pole was planted and & new Hawaiian flag spread to the breeze. The day was spent on the island, which was thoroughly sur- veyed. On account of the violent opposition made to the proposed pension of $4000 a year for Kaiunlani the Senate hastabled the item for action at next year’s session of the Legislature. The opposition proceeds chiefly from the more radical class of whites. Older residents generally favor the pension. Resentment at the violence of the royalists in the late insurrection is too recent for impartial treatment of Kaiulani’s claims at this time. It is be- lieved that the lapse of another year will prove favorable to her. An important statement has been pre- sented to the Senate by Finance Minister Damon, showing that in consequence of the insurrection, extra military outlay and police expenses, also the loss of reve- nue from interruption of business, the finances had in one year, from July 1, 1894, to July 1, 1895, run behind to the amount 01 $167,000. This appeared in a reduction of cash balance in the treasury by $109,000 and in an increase of floating debts by $58,000. The Government has just purchased for a high school the costly mansion and grounds of the late Mrs. Panahi Bishop. The Cabinet is determinedly opposing the electric railway franchise, which pro- poses to find routes through the city on undesirable streets not already occupied. The Government plan is to have but one system of tramway, and for that purpose to condemn and buy up the present tram- way. The aged pilot, Captain Archibald Mec- Intyre, died last evening. He had been for twenty years the leading pilot of this harbor. Gibbons to Rampolia. ROME, Itavy, July 25.—The Osservatore Romano prints a letter by Cardinal Gib- bons to Cardinal Rampolla, Papal Secre- tary of State, in which the writer ex- presses his annoyance and indignation at seeing certain American journals print false and misleading accounts of inter- views with the Fope. These reports, he says, represent him as desiring to influ- ence the Vatican against Archbishop Ire- land’s school system, whereas the Cardinal declared he has never conversed with his Holiness on that subject. Cardinal Gibbons informs Cardinal Ram- Fo“n that he is especially angered at the alse statement contained in the reports that he was opposed to the apostolic dele- gate in the United States, the truth bein, that he has been a faithful friend nnfi ardent defender of Monsignor Satolli. SRR il No Concessions to Strikers. PANAMA, Coromsrs, July 25.—The canal company does not, it appears, in- tend to concede the demands made by the striking laborers. - It has issued a notice that all skilled laborers who will apply for work will be engaged. This, of course, in- cludes such of tha strikers who may apply for reinstatement, but they will have to accept work on the company’s terms. EL X e gk A French Warship on the Rocks. PARIS, France, July 25.—The new French turret ship Massena, 11,700 tons, was launched atv St. Nazaire yesterday. To-day she went on the rocks at Tourteaux and as yet all the eforts made to get her afloat bave failed. Six powerful tugs have been hauling on her, but she stays hard and fast on the rocks. k ——— Italians in Abyssinia. ROME, ItavLy, July 25.—In the Chamber of Deputies this morning Baron Blanc, Ministerof Foreign Affairs, made a state- ment in which he said that all the powers had already recognized the protectorate over Abyssinia established by Italy and admitted that none of them was entitled to intervene between King Menelek and the Ttalian Government. Menelek, he de- clared, had flagrantly violated the terms of the protocol lgrohibifing slave trading in Abyssinia. e had the utmost cont:dence in the prosperous future of the Italian colony in Abyssinia, which Italy would de- fend to the end. S YET MAINTAIN THE LEAD. Unionists Will Have No Trouble in Con- trolling British Affiairs. LONDON, Exe., July 25.—According to the latest returns at hand neither of the parties have in the late election scored any noteworthy advantage. The Unionists still maintain their lead, or nearly so, over their opponents, and, it is believed, will flo so until the final closing of the polls. The Liverals wrestled the middle division of Norfolk and west division of Lanark- shire from the Unionists, but, on the other hand, they lost Kadnorshire, Dumbarton- shire and Argyishire. In the Kircaldy burghs the Liberals succeeded in increas- ing their majority by 154, and, as such an increase has been infrequent during the present contest, it is deemed worthy of mention. In such little matters as these Liberals find their only solace in defeat. The total returns now show _the election of 328 Conservatives, 65 Unionists, 158 Liber- als, 62 anti-Parnellites and 10 Parnellites. The net Unionist gain is 82, giving the Gio‘\%e_rnment a present absolute majority of 185. — Cut Rates to the Orient. VICTORIA, B. C., July 25.—The compe- tition in ocean freights to the Orient re- sulted in a cut a short time ago to $4 a ton on flour. Now the Northern Pacific has made another cut to $2. Large quantities of flour have been shipped from Victoria |Eo Cthinn and Japan since the war in the ast. BRADY NEARING WINTERS, Word to That Effect Received by the Sheriff at Wood-~ land. He Is Belleved by Detectives to Be Making an Effort to Reach Benicia. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 25.—Word reached Sheriff Griffin at Woodland to-day that Brady had been seen at an early hour on the road leading to Winters. Brady was on foot and traveling slowly, and it is believed by the detectives who have been engaged in the pursuit that he is endeavor- ing to reach Benicia by following the foot- hills, That it is Brady has been settled with- out a doubt, as the black mare stolen from the Rio Buento ranch would allow no stranger to handle her, and as Brady had been employed on the place the animal was friendly with him. Again, the sad- die and bridle used on this mare were the only ones that were stolen. The party who stole the mare went to a house on another ranch where Brady had worked, entered the structure, went directly to the pantry where the pro- visions were stored and obtained a stock, showing that he was conversant with the premises. He then rode to a lonely cabin where, it has since been discovered, Brady secreted himself after the train robbery and secured some extra clothing that had been left there. These facts have been learned by the officers who have been in constant pursuit of the bandit ever since he attempted to cross the mountains and_was prevented by the depth of snow still Fyine on the high peaks, Notice, it is claimed, was forwarded to Sheriff Johnson at Sacramento that Brady was riding a black mare that is termed a single-footer, and was on the road to Sac- ramento; and it is also claimed that Sheriff Johnson, instead of being out to practice his bloodhounds, was in reality on the watch for Brady, and armed to the teeth. He was accompanied by a Deputy and his bloodhounds, and ‘was lying in wait, but on meeting Brady face to face, he concluded that discretion was the- better part of valor and struck back to Sacramento to organize a posse. It is claimed, on_the other hand, that he did not follow -Brady, who, by inquiring of a passer-by whom he met a short dis- tance beyond Johnson, discovered the lat- ter's identity and took flight until he recovered the black mare which he brought to the city with him. This evening a dispatch was received from Sheriff Johnson, who is at Courtland, stating that Brady had entered a grocery- store at that place, called for something to eat, purchased some oysters, and, after reading an account of his pursuit in one of the daily papers, continued his flight, and the Sheriff added, “I am in close pur- suit.” The detectives in charge of the case do not seem to place much reliance in this, as they are all in this city and have retired to sleep, with the evident intention of tack- ling the Winters trail as soon as they ob- tain the needed rest. —_— e A SANTA ROSA ASSESSMENT. It T8 Claimed to Have Beem Inoreased Unjustly. SANTA ROSA, Carn., July 25.—An in- teresting session of the County Board of Equalization was held this afternoon. Doyle and Overton, two of the wealthiest local capitalists, applied to the board for a reduction of the assessment on_their brick buslness business block in the heart of the city, claiming Assessor Vaunderhcof in raising the valuation $30,000 over that of last year had assessed it unjustly. They claimed the property had been assessed 40 per cent higher than the same kind of property in other towns of a correspond- ing size. Assessor Vanderhoof resisted the appli- cation, showing that the assessment had been based upon the actual earning ca- pacity of the property. He had facts showing what the property was earning in rent to back him up. The board took the ground that he had no right to compare assessments with those of other counties, as their province was merely to equalize matters between Sonoma County taxpayers. The hearin was not completed, and will be continueg to-morrow. St e A A Widow_Becomes Insane. SAN JOSE, CaL, July 25.—Mrs. Mary Carello, an aged French woman, was to- day arrested on a charge of insanity. About two months ago her husband died and since then she has spent numerous nights on_her husband’s grave. Abouta week ago her children were placed in the Orphans’ Home for want of care. The dgut;\ of her husband has unbalanced her mind. ———— A Southern Pacific Victory. SAN JOSE, Cav., July 25.—The suit of Stephen Culbertson against the Southern Pacific Railroad Conmang for $20,000 dam- ages for the loss of a lez by being run over in this city about a year ago, was given to the jury this afternoon. After twenty minutes’ deliberation the jury found for the defendant and attributed the accident to the negligence of plaintiff. e Sentence Horse Thief. SANTA ROSA., CaL., July 25.—P. F. Clemens, who stole a livery rig here a few days ago, was captured in Mendocino County and pleaded guilty to grand lar- ceny. Judge Dougherty sentenced him to four years at Folsom. 2o i LA Seaftle Suspects Released. SEATTLE, Wasn.. July 25.—Charlesand Fred Kindling, the young men charged with the murder of Ransome Stokes of Sunnydale, were dismissed from custody at the conclusion of the preliminary hear- ing to-day. DEFEAT OF CAMPOS, Details of tfie Battle Which the Rebels Won. MANY SPANIARDS SLAIN. Troops Being Sent to the Re- lief of the Captain- General. SURROUNDED BY INSURGENTS. Great Excitement In Cuba Over Vic- tories Won by Those Who Fought for Freedom. JACKSONVILLE, Fra.,, July 25.—A cablegram from Key West says: A private letter received in this city last night, per steamer Mascotte from Havana, confirms the report of Martinez Campos’ defeat at the battle of Valenzuela. Of the 1800 Span- iard troops that went into battle only 300 escaped to Bayamo, where they are sur- rounded by 600 Cubans under Maceo, Mas- 50, Quinlan, Bandera and Goulet. The insurgents’ loss at this battle was 280 killed and wounded. Martinez Campos is now at Bayamo, seriously wounded and surrounded by insurgents. Troops are being sent from all parts of the island to relieve him. Three steamers with troops have left Santiago de Cuba for Manzanillo to re-enforce Campos and get him out. The greatest excitement exists at San- tiago. La Chambre has been sent to Spain. Maximo Gomez, on hearing of the battle, immediately left to join Maceo. The greatest excitement exists in Havana. The people are terrorized. The Govern- mentis trying to suppress all details of this great battle, but it is known all through the island. The death of Armar- dor Guerra is not officially confirmed. TAMPA, Fra.. July 25.—Passengers by the steamer Mascotte to-night say that in the battle of Valenzuela many Spanish offi- cers were badly wounded. The wounded officers were taken to Bayamo and are be- ing carefully nursed at the hospitals. The Spanish troops in Cuba are falling victims to the tropical diseases and hundreds are dying daily. The troops are poorly fed and badly worn out by long continuous marches. The Cuban leaders in this city express themselves as being perfectly satisfied with the state of affairs and look for startling events to occur which will materially in- terest the cause they are fighting for. It is reported by the Spanish leaders and Government authorities that a large ma- jority of insurgents agree to surrender if Spain will grant Cuba home rule. - This is however not believed by the Cuban sym- pathizers, who they say want Cuba’s lib- erty or nothing. HAVANA, Cusa, July 25.—The Spanish gunboat Conde de Venadito arrived yes- terday with her aftermast missing. It is reported that she fired on an American steam yacht, which returned the fire and then steamed rapidly away. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 25.—It de- veloped this afternoon that the presence of the cruiser Atlanta at Havana, which was unexpectedly announced yesterday, was one of the results of the Cabinet con- ference held last Friday to devise better means for enforcing the neutrality laws against Cuban filibusters. An effort was made to keep secret the movements of the vessel by concealing the cablegram from her commander mnotifying the Naval Department of her arrival. Movements of naval vessels are usually made public by the department, but the fact that the Atlanta had reached Havana was concealed by the officials of the depart- ment. 1t is likely that the Atlanta is after some alleged filibusters and the depart- ment is afraid the publication of her move- ments will frustrate any plans her com- mander might have for intercepting would- be violators of the neutrality laws. That other vessels may have been ordered to as- sist the Atlanta in patrol duty and the fact suppressed is exceedingly probable. BOSTON, Mass.,July 25.—Senorde Lome, Spanish Minister to the United States, was seen to-day at his villa in Swampscott, where he, his family and the legation are staying for the summer, in relation to the reported firing by a Spanish man-of-war upon the American schooner Carrie A. Lane while off Cuba. The Minister stated that even if the report was true, the flag had not been fired upon and no insult had been made to this country. He quoted Justice Field’s opinion on international law where it was stated that the men-of-war ships of the different na- tions were virtually the police of the high seas and it was their right to signal vessels and to stop them if the commanders of warships thought they were not engaged in legitimate business. If they did not stop after the signals had been giv- en then two blank shots should be fired. This was simply to have the vessel heave to and allow its papers to be seen, when, if everything was all right, an apology was made and the vessel allowed to depart on its way. The affair had no importance in the view of the Minister. The Minister com- mended highly the manner in which the United States Government is trying to prevent filibusters from leaving this country for Cuba. OL AT LOS ANGELES Eight Hundred Barrel Gusher Started Within the City. An It Overran the Nelghborhood and Could Not Be Kept Under Control. LOS ANGEKLES, Car., July 25—One of the deepest oil wells in the city, located at the corner of Hobart and West State streets, after a preliminary grunting and grumbling this morning started “gushing”’ oil at such a rate that it could not be kept under control. It has overrun the neigh- borhood and is still lowing. The output is estimated by experts to be about 800 barrels per day. A number of owners of wells in the vicinity whose property has been yielding fair returns have S:ciged to stop present operations and dig deeper. i g Drowned Near Petalunia. PETALUMA, CaL., July 25.—The body of aman was found floating in the creek just below town to-day. He had been in the water evidently four days. The feat- ures are totally unrecognizable, but from the clothing Mrs. Frank Butler decided the remains are those of her husband, a well- kaown plasterer of this city, who has not been seen since last Monday night, when he left home, intending to work in the Sonoma Mountains next day. Thedrown- ing is supposedly accidental, for the pipe of the deceased was found clutched in his hand. e FEELING AT SAN DIEGO. The Decision of Judge Ross Will Have No Effect on Districts There. SAN DIEGO, CAL, July 25.—Jerry Toles, manager of the Escondido Land and Town Company, has returned from Escondido. He says the immediate effect of Judge Ross’ decision has not been bad, as just before he left he closed a deal for the sale of a tract of §70 land, the highest- priced land the company holds, and the buyer did not appear to be concerned. In fact no one is. The people say the country has just completed its water sys- tem, and that it will stay there and the ople will get and keep the benefit of it. g?)les said the equities of the case appeared to be that the irrigation nlant, the ditch, reservoir, dam and conduits, and erhaps the water rights, would ?all to the man who had paid for them, Henry W. Putnam, and that he would become their owner by private en- terprise. It appeared that the future course would be that the water would be supplied, and land-owners would take it and use it and pay for it as they do from other systems not operated under the ‘Wright act provisions. “I should like to own it at the price Putnam paid for it,” he said. Then he explained that the district had issued a total of $350,000 in bonds, but still had $11,000 on hand, making a net issue of $339,000. Of these the Escondido Company had taken $9000 in exchange for the city water system it had owned, and which was put into the irrigation system. Besides, the company had paid some $20,000 in irrigation taxes up to date, but Toles figures that it was worth all this to the company to secure water. The com- any coulfd have afforded to give that as a nus. The Linda Vista irrigation directors will maintain the organization of their distriet, as though nothing had happened, and con- tinue not only to assess property, but to collect taxes. This is 1n expectation that the United States Supreme Court will re- verse Judge Ross, and they do not propose to allow any rights to lapse meantime. AN DIEED GRAND JURY, It Is Declared Invalid and Its Indictments Are Set Aside. The Law Was Not Strictly Followed in Impaneling and Drawing Jurors. SAN DIEGO, CAL., July 25.—The entire work of the late Grand Jury was rendered invalid by the decision of Judge Pierce to- day, holding that the law was not followed strictly in impaneling and drawing the jurors. The matter came up in the form of a motion of counsel for Clifton E. Mayne, indicted for bribery, to set aside the in- dictment on the ground that only twenty- four names were ordered placed in the box by Judge Puterbaugh, when the law re- uires not less than twenty-five nor more than thirty, from which to draw nineteen names to constitute the Grand Jury. Assistant District Attorney Utley, in up- holding the validity of the indictments, declared that the impaneling of a less number than twenty-five did not invali- date the work of the jury, since the requi- site nineteen to constitute a jury had been drawn regularly, and these were, as re- quired by law, “good and lawful citizens of the county.” " Hence the requirements relative to impaneling grand juries were directory rather than mandatory in their nature. On the conclusion of the argument Judge Pierce granted the motion setting aside the indictments. The indictments against Weineke were disposed of in the same manner, Judge Pierce acting upon instructions from Judge Puterbaugh, who heard arguments in Weineke’s case. Thus the entire work of the Grand Jury is rendered invalid. ‘Whether a new jury will be impaneled has not yet been determined. In the mat- ter of the charges against Mayne and ‘Weineke the District Attorney has author- ity to %mceed against them as on any other charge of felony. BT R Ty ANOTHER ESTATE IMBROGLIO. Dissatisfaction Over the Management of the Property of Joseph D. Miranda. SAN JOSE, CaL., July 25.—Ramon Mesa has become dissatisfied with the way the estate of his brother-in-law, Joseph Dolores Miranda, an incompetent person, is being managed and to-day he filed a pefition asking that Joseph A. Salecite of Mayfield be appointed guardian of the estate and person of Joseph Miranda. In 1872 Miranda was adjudged insane and his mother was appointed guardian. She held this trust until her death in 1889, since which time it is alleged there has been no legal guardian and a brother, Jose Miranda, has assumed the management of the estate. The petitioner claims that Jose Miranda has neglected the estate and managed things to his own interest, and avers that the estate should be in the hands of some competent person for man- agement. The estate consists of 126 acres o§ valuable land near Mayfield and a house and lot in that place. Deserted His Family. SAN JOSE, CaL., July 25.—H. B. Woel- fel, a jeweler who has being doing busi- ness at 183 South First street for the past year, has suddenly departed, leaving a wife and four children penniless. A few days ago he sold his shop and fixtures, and took his tools and left. This is not the first time he has deserted his family. Twenty years ago he deserted his wife in Germany and came to this country. He finally sent for her, and six years later he left herin Chicago. For the last two weeks he had been drinking heavily. He leaves nu- merous creditors. Burglary at Gilroy. SAN JOSE, CAL., July 25.—The room of G. Vacca, the proprietor of a winery on 014 Gilroy street, Gilroy, was entered by thieves last night during his absence and $400 taken. The purses from which the coin was taken were found in the back yard. It is thought the crime was com- mitted by persons who are acquainted with the place and knew where the money was kept. There is no clew to the thieves, Cholera Case at Port Townsend. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., July 25.— The British steamer Antwerp City, under charter to carry lumber from Tacoma to South Africa, arrived here this mornin, from Kobe, Japan, with a conulescea% case of cholera on board. The vessel is now in quarantine at Diamond Point station. — Fined the Sheriff. SAN JOSE, CaL., July 25.—Judge Rey- nolds was out of sorts this morning, and when the opening hour of court arrived and no bailiff was present he waxed wrath. After waiting a few minutes he instructed Clerk Bradley to enter a fine of $10 against Sheriff Lyndon for not having a bail in court. Died Without Heirs. SAN JOSE, Cawn., July 25.—Public Ad- ministrator Secord was to-day granted let- ters of administration on the estate of Jean Eé;gnno. who died in Mayfield June 10, 1895. The estate consists of two lots in Mayfield valued at $400, and there are no known heirs. I NO FEAR OF DEATH. Murderer Fredericks Awaits His Fate Calmly. HAS BECOME RELIGIOUS. But Is Not Inclined to Admit the Justice of His Pun- ishment. SILENT REGARDING HIS PAST. Text of the Farewell Address He Intends to Dellver From the Gallows. SAN QUENTIN, CaL., July 25.4-William Fredericks, who is to hang to-morrow for the murder of Bank Cashier Herrick, awaits his hour of death with what might be either the dull complacency of the un- thinking brute or the exquisite philosophy of the highest human type. “I do not fear death,” he said this after- noon. ‘“Nothing matters really, and to a man in my position the strange part of it isthat people make such a tremendous fuss over trifles.” Fredericks passed the day in reading his prayer book and stuaying the speech he will make from the gallows to-morrow. He has ceased all pretensions to insanity now that he is convinced that they can benefit him nothing, and his demeanor is indeed that of the mildest-mannered man who evercut a throat. There is much about him to produce the impression of ut- ter harmlessness. His pale biue eyes, small features and slight frame seem scarcely appropriate to the desperate criminal, but when speaking of the crime for which he will pay the extreme penalty a tigerish gleam comes into his eyes which is by no means pleasant to contemplate. So far as words go, however, Fredericks is a completely changed man. He has be- come ultra-religious. He cultivates Father Lagan with the utmost assiduity, and whenever opportunity offers in conversa- tion hLe delivers a pretty little homily, which might well be expected of a very young theological student. “There can be no real satisfaction in this world,” he says, “for a man unless he is a Christian.” But now and then there creep into his words unconscious quotations from an entirely different school of thinkers—the extreme socialists. On the whole, however, re- ligious ideas seem to predominate, and the murderereven confesses to a very mild and gentlemanly degree of remorse. He is, indeed, sorry ,that he has troubled any- body, and he would not inconvenience any one for the world. Like most of his predecessors on the scaffold, Fredericks will not admit the jus- tice of his punishment, but poses as an ill- treated individual. This is apparent in the written address which he is memoriz- ing for his speech from the gallows. There is, however, an odd similarity between his written words and those which Father Lagan spoke for Collins immediately be- fore the last execution. The prepared ad- dress is as follows: “Gentlemen: I heartily forgive all my enemies, as I hope to pe forgiven. I can assure you, gentlemen, that I do not en- tertain the least thought of hard feelings to any living mortal. The blindness of human justice will now soon be gratified, and I leave behind me the chains of slavery and the bonds of the flesh. By the will of our omniscient Creator I die in the faith of the holy Roman Catholic church, and I cheerfully consign myself to the in- finite justice and mercy of the one who is over and with and above all.” There seems to be little chance that Fredericks will break down at the scaffold. The nerve which led him within the lines at Folsom with the arms with which Son- tag made his break appears equal to all the demands which will be made upon it, though there is a suspicious - moisture about his eyes and a drawn look to his tace, which tells of strain, in spite of his efforts at nonchalence. Concerning his past life, Fredericks de- clines absolutely to talk. “The outer world is dead to me, even as I shall be to it to-morrow. I shall be forgotten in a day, and why, therefore, publish a record? No, I shall bury it in a little plat of ground six feet long and three ot four feet wide.” The murderer states, however, that his father, mother and sister are living, but that they do not know where he is, and will not know his fate. He was born in Aix-la-Chapelle and educated in a military school. He served in the German army, and his early ambition was to become a great general. If he had his life to live over he says he would become a priest. The execution will take place to-morrow at 10 o’clock. Many invitations have been issued and a great influx of visitors is ex- pected by the morning train: BUISE HAS A ROMANCE The Wife of Governor McCon- nell Heir to a Snug Little- Sum. She Is One of the Legatees to a Large Landed Estate In Philadelphia. y BOISE, Ipano, July 25.—Governor Mec- Connell is in receipt of information indi- cating that his wife, who is a daughter of Benjamin Brown of North Yambhill, Or., and at the time of his death a resident of California, is one of the heirs of a Pennsyl- vania estate, her share of which will amount to $8000. The information is con- tained in an Oregon paper, which says: “For a number of years the officials of Philadelphia have been searching for the lawful heirs to the large landed Ball Brown estate in that city, which has been exempt from taxes for a hundred years, as it was held in trust by a church organiza- tion. There have been from time to time numerous_ claimants to the estate, but as yet none have been able to satisfactorily establish his or her legal lineage as the direct descendant from William Ball, the original owner, who died in 1737. *Daniel 8. Nash of this city, who traded land in Lane County for the property of C. hall in Oak Park, is in receipt of a let- ter from a nephew asking him to qualify as the son of one of the direct heirs. Mrs. Hannah Nash, who was a cousin of John Brown of Harpers Ferry, is also a direct heir. It is believed that the lineage has been established. Mr. Nash is one of nine children and one-ninth of his mother’s share of the estate amounts to $60,000. “The whereabouts of one of the direct heirs is not known. Itis Benjamin Brown, who lived at North Yamhill in 1866 and in the fall of that year went to California. Should these lines be read by any one who knows his whereabouts they can probably secure a fat divy by putting him on to the f’“*’s“* he has of inheriting a large for- une. The interesting feature of the matter de- velops in the fact that Benjamin Brown was the father of Mrs. McConnell. His share of the estate would be the same as that going to the Nash family. As he had seven children, all still living, each would be entitled to about $3000. e NEVADA’S PRIVATE MINT. It Has Been Forced to Withdraw Its Coinage From Circulation. RENO, NEv., July 25.--The Gazette con- tains this evening an interview with United States District Attorney Jones, who has just returned from Delamar, Lincoln County, Nevada, where he had been called on account of a private mint that existed there. The Delamar Company is the owner of extensive mines in that section and has for about a year been making in New York coins of aluminum and tin, bearing the stamp of the company. These coins were shipped to the mines and used for payin, the men, being redeemable in Unite States coin at the office of the company. Little attention was at first paid to them, as it was strictly a local affair; but during the past few months the coins have entered into general circulation in Southern Ne- vada and Utah, even the newsboys on trains readily accepting them. / ‘When the United States District Attor- ney reached Delamar the manager of the mines refused to withdraw these coins, claiming the coin was necessary, as it was | unsafe to ship the necessary amount of gold and silver to the camp. These tin | coins, he said, were merely used locally. He was arrested, but was released on his own recognizance. Finally the attorneys in New York telegraphed t{at all the coins would be withdrawn and United States money substituted. Delamar is the scene of great activity at | present, developments of mines in that section being encouraging. large num- bers of settlers are constantly arriving. | and numbers of freight trains, giving the | appearance of lively days in Nevada’s min- | ing camps. | APASADENA BRIDE'S WOE. Charges Her Husband With Cruelty and Systematic Abuse. Letters Indicate That He Has An- other Wife and Has Promised to Marry a Third. | PASADENA, CaL., July 25.—F. E. Par- lin, conductor 14 on the Pasadena and Pa- | cific electric road, was arrested here to- | day on a warrant swora out by Rose Par- lin, his bride of three months, on the charge of assaultand battery. Mrs. Parlin alleges her husband has abused her sys- tematically since their marriage, and yes- terday morning she discovered a package of letters from Oakland in a woman’s handwriting signed “Melta,” addressing Parlin as husband and in endearing terms of affection. The tenor of the letters indi- cates that Parlin is a much married man. Mrs. Parlin’s attorney telegraphed to Oakland to-day to investigate the matter. Some months before his marriage Parlin kept company in Los Angeles with Miss Melta Behme of Oakland, to whom he was said to be engaged. He married the pres- ent Mrs, Parlin in Los Angeles April 4. One of the letters Mrs. Parlin found was from Melta’s sister, upbraiding Parlin with keeping his marriage to her sister a secret. To add to the complications it is said Parlin has been keeping company with a 16-year-old girl in Pasadena, whom he has promised to marry as soon as he could ob- {piu a divorce from the present Mrs. Par- in. Parlin was tried in the Recorder’s Court on the charges preferred and held this morning for trial by the Superior Court. In default of $500 bail he was taken this | afternoon to the County Jail; to await fur- ther developments. News from Oakland in regard to the pos- sible Mrs. F. E. Parlin No.1 is awaited with interest. Parlin swears that his wife’s accusations are false and that she has no cause for jealousy, but the contents of the letters in possession of the officers tell a different story. L LAKE BAY'S WOMAN FIEND. She Attempts the Life of Her Two Little Girls. TACOMA, Wass., July 25.—Mrs. Eliza- beth Wildgrube of Lake Bay, near here, made a most murderous and fiendish at- tack on her two little girls, aged 10 and 7, at midnight last night, and how they escaped death is miraculous. Her husband died 1ast week from a lingering illness, and this has preyed on the woman’s mind to such an extenr that she became de- ranged and imagined the children were devils. The woman was brought to this city this afternoon, to be taken to the in- sane asylum. —_—— Boring fcr Oil Near Ortega.

Just Famey Whal—llnly T Weoks' Treatment Can Do! . counneucr@m SHOWN. A Gentleman From Idaho Has Some= thing Interesting to Tell About the Methods of Professor Hudson and His Skilled Associates. BER E WAS A TIME WHEN PHE NAMES of th ose gread revivalists — Sankey and Moody—were enough to set the world by the ears, and when Sam Jones entered the field of competition a little bit later on it was almost possible to conjure with his name. And it is true that great revivalists have long held a large influence with the world at large. It was no uncommon thing at the meetings of either of the revivalists mentioned above to see men and women who were naturally of a retiring disposition get up in the auditorium and shout for joy, because they had,or felt they had, found relief from a stricken conscience. It was not alone in California that these anomalous conditions obtained, and in & letter addressed to the manager of that grandest of all medical establishments on this continent—the Hudson Medical Institute—a gentlemen from Idaho, Mr. William Glenn, mentions having observed this somewhat singuiar phenomenon. Mr. Glenn had very good reason to correspond with these gentlemen, for he was attacked in & most serious way by a& nervous disorder, which at one time threatened his very existence. In fact, itis not going too far if wesay that Mr. Glenn’s condition could hardly have been more serious than it was. But, very sensibly, he ap- li ed to the staff in the big white structure on the corner of Market, Ellis and Stockton streets and in & couple of weeks even he was so much helped that he felt like saying so. Thisis the letter which he wrote: MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho. Gentlemen: The second week has about passed. It has brought with it all the en- couragement that is possible. Health and vigor has begun to show itself. Ihave all the confidence in the remedy. I do believe I am to get well. Often at a revival meeting I have seen and heard both men and ladies shouting joy and proclaim how they felt religion. I well know now that if they felt half the joy that I feel at this present moment no wonder that they gave vent to their feelings. I will write you again the coming week., Hoping that all will be well, yours. ete., WILLIAM GLENN. It must be very gratifying indeed for the specialists to receive letters of this sort, show- ing clearly, as it does, how very promptly the system usually responds to the treatment which patients receive at their hands; butit is only one from among & verv large number that come to them daily through the mails. Mr. A, W. Neale of Los Angeles writes: “Your treat- ment has done all that you claimed it would, and I bless the day that I placed myself in your hands.” W. P. Dillman of Sacramento: “When I first wrote to you I felt that life was barely worth lMving, but now, thank God, I am en- tirely cured.” W. A. Russell of Macchias, Wash., says: “I only regret that [ am unable to pay you ten times your fee. Ishall recommend you to all sufferers.” F. F. Bartels of Oroville: ‘I am altogether a new mean to what I was when I began taking your medicines.” Evidence like this of the exceptional success which the specialists of this great Institute have in treating every kind of curable aisease is always being received, and as the witnesses now aggregate many thousands it may be taken for granted that if your case is curable the specialists of the Hudson Medical Institute can do more for you then any one else in the world ean.
