Mrs. J. H. Davis, the nurse, was recalled and testified that while she was nurs- ing defendant at the Paragon Hotel Mrs. | er had in her possession a mnew | het, with a gilt top.

The witness stated that Mrs. Miller had scarcely any clothing, what she did have being made of coarse material. She was possessed of no woolen wear, and as to headdress had nothing but the gray cap she wore on the morning of the homicide. ‘While nursing Mrs. Miller the witness had made her up achange of night clothing and underwear. The goods for them had to be purchased from the husband. He | protested against letting her have the goods, and would not do so until she told him that it was an absolute necessity. Mrs. Davis was the last witness ex- amined. The defense offered no witnesses, and made no argument. FIRE DESTROYS A RESIDENCE. | | The Explosion of a Lamp Caused a Con- | Aagration. | REDDING, Cal., Aug. 7.—Fire broke out this morning at 12:15 in a residence on Court street, owner by F. Warner and occupied by a barber named Corser. Corser has just moved into the house Saturday, and was expecting his family this week. About midnight he was taken with a sudden illness and went to a drug- store for medicine, leaving a lighted lamp on a table. He had been gone but a few minutes when the alarm was given and his house discovered in flames. It is thought the lamp exploded. A strong north wind was blowing and it was with some difficulty that flames were kept from spreading to adjoining resi- dences. There was a_ scarcity of water which made fire-fighting difficult. The loss amounts to about $1000 with insurance. Corser lost all his barber tools, a fine gold watch and blankets, WETTS MERCED ESTATE: Two Women Receive the Vast Property of the Mur- dered Man. I Equally Divided Between His Widow and Mrs. Blake, a Half- Sister. MERCED, CaAL., Aug. 6.—The vast es- tate of John L. Ivett, who was foully mur- dered at his home in November, 1890, has been turned over to his heirs, and thus ends the last chapter in a case fraught with sensations. In the Superior Court of Merced County, a stipulation signed by all parties inter- ested and a decree of court were filed and entered to-day, dividing the real estate of Ivett as near equally as possible, between his widow, Sophie A. Ivett, and his half sister, Mrs, Sarah Blake of England. Mrs. Blake gets the home ranch and several other tracts in Merced County, comprising in all about 5200 acres, and Mrs. Ivett gets about 2600 acres in Merced County and the sheep range in Mariposa County. The | personal property had been mostly con- sumed in paying debts of the deceased and expenses of administration. The estate is valued at about a quarter of a million. Ivett was a son of Mary Ivett of England and lelt no_children, and as little was ever said by him about his ancestors or relatives it was supposed by many that his widow was his only heir. After Ivett’s death his sister made her identity known tnd secured her share of the estate. Mrs. Ivett is a youn woman, perhaps 30. years old, an is a sister of August Olsen, who was tried for the murder of Ivett. Mrs. Blake has never been in the United States, but her interests have been looked after by Attorneys J. W. Knox, Mortimer & Harris and B. F. Fowler. 'Mrs. Ivett has been represented in all her litigation with Mrs. Brske by Governor Budd, P. J. Hazen and Gould & McCabe. T s More’s Bondsmen Withdraw. SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Aug. 6.— Henry Miller and Henry Meacham, the two -bondsmen of John F. More, adminis- trator of the estate of A. P. More, who qualified for $75,000 each, to-day withdrew FIRES N SHASTA COUNTY. 1 from his boad. This withdrawal, follow- | ing so closely upon the report of Special | Referee Sherman concerning the wretched | condition of stock and other property on Santa Rosa Island, which is part of the More estate, is regarded as significant. ST s NEWS OF MARE ISLAND. Over One Thousand Men Busily at Work on the Yard. VALLEJO, CaL., Aug. 6.—The steam railroad system of the navy-yard is being extended southward toward the sawmill, to facilitate the transportation of heavy timber to the docks where the Hartford and Adams are being repaired. The Philadelphia came out of dock to- day to make room for the monitor Co- manche. After this craft bas had her hull cleaned, preparations will be begun to widen the dock entrance. Already arrangements are making for the launch of the new tug. In about three weeks the event will take place. _The Hartford, Boston and Adams con- tinue to give employment to a large force of men. ~A finishing-up crew are at work on the Monadnock, which could, if neces- sity required, be got ready for service in | one month.

Two Children Badly Injured by the Col- lapse of a House. SACRAMENTO, Car., Aug. 6.—While Mrs. Andy Isom and her children were sitting in their house on P street this after- noon they were suddenly alarmed by the crackling of timbers, and before they could escape the building fell down upon them with a crash. Help was at hand and the imprisoned inmates quickly liberated. Mrs. Isom was found to be uninjured, but two of the children received painful sealp wounds, The house was an old one, and was undergoing repairs. The accident was caused by the building being improperly braced while the work'was being done. 2 DASHED ONTO A TRESTLE. A Runaway Horse Delays Traffic on a Railroad. SACRAMENTO, Car., Aug. 6.—There was a lively runaway in the neighborhood of the depot to-day that for a time resulted in the stoppage of railroad traffic. A horse attached to a delivery wagon took fright and dashing across the railroad bridge which spans the river between this city and Yolo county, kept on aown the track until it came to a high trestle which it tried to cross. Strange as it may seem the horse ran over the ties on the trestle for a distance of fifty feet before it made a mis- step and fell, piling the wreckage on top of the rails. A freight train which was about to cross was compelled to run back, and in order to clear the track the wrecking train had to besent out. The horse was lifted out and found to be uninjured except fora slight scratch on one of his legs. Identified the Clothing. SACRAMENTO, CaL. Aug. 6.— The clothing which was found on the bank of the Sacramento River last Saturday has been identified by Alexander Coleman of this city as having belonFed to his nephew, F.

The theory is that the young man went into the river for a swim, was seized with a cramp and was drowned. rest upon brick foundations, which are built on stone. The basement contains the heating apparatus and toilet-rooms. The east side is finished up with a con- | crete floor. There are three entrances. The main assembly-room is 70x58 feet and is on the left side of the front entrance.* It is being paneled off, electric wired and finished in the latest style. To the right of the front entrance is the library and the principal’s room, both pleasant and commodious. One 1s 33x22, another 28x25 and the third 32x22 feet in dimensions. The instructor's room is in the south- west corner on the second story. It is 14x14 feet in dimensions. On the north side of the instructor’s room is the room for physics. North of that is the chem- istry-room. The biology-room is 16x52 and the lecture-room . is 32x32 feet in size. It will be something like an amphitheater in form, the seats rising from the instructor’s desk to the rear of the room in a gentle in- cline. On the east side are three recitation rooms, and wide cheerful halls communi- cate with all the rooms cn this floor. The tower runs up twenty-five feet, ana when *‘Old Glory” is swung to the breezes from the flagstaff it will be 125 feet from the ground. The building will be supplied with the Cottier system of ventilation, in- suring good air in every room. The chim- ney is eighty feet high and contains 15,000 bricks, and about 300,000 feet of lumber has been used in the building. Following is the list of teachers for the ensuing year: F. L.

Conflicting Stories Told by His Housekeeper While on the Witness-Stand. SAN JOSE, CaL.,, Aug. 6.~The prelimi- nary examination of ex-Supervisor Tillot- son, charged with burning his house for the insurance on May 22, was begun in Justice Gass’ court this morning. The prosecution is being conducted by District Attorney Herrington and special counsel H. C. Moore, and Tillotson is defended by Attorneys D. W. Burchard, J. C. Black and J. H. Russell. Blanche Miller, the defendant’s former housekeeper, was kept on the stand nearly all day. Her statements were very con- flicting and she Emved herself an un- willing witness. She was nervous and during the cross-examination appeared to be on the point of breaking down several times. She admitted that Tillotson had told her that a man named Dunlap had been persuading him to burn his house and he (Tillotson) did not know what to do about it. Dunlap wanted to burn the house to helfi Tillotson pay his debts. “Did not Mr. Tillotson say to you that he had set the fire himself, because Mr. Dunlap had gone back on him?”’ asked Attorney Moore. After a long pause the witness answered “Yes—'" She was interrupted by the ques- tion: “Did he-not say that he was going to burn the house himself?” s ~I don’t know that he did. He said everybody had gone back on him, and he uessed he would have to do the work imself."” “What work?” “I do not know. I wish to state now that I have made some statementd when [ was angry that were wrong. Tillotson had accusetf me of burning the heuse, and I was angry.”’ “The morning after the fire did not Mr. Tillotson tell you that he had made a good job of it this time?”’ “No, sir, he did not.”’ answered the wit- ness. Blanche Miller's was the only import- ant testimony offered during the day. An adjournment was taken until Thursday morning at10 o’clock. —_—— OVERLAND SHIPMENTS.

RAVAGE OF PHYLLOXERA Methods of Eradicating the Destroyer Succinctly Given. MENACE TO FRUIT-GROWERS. Must Be Fought Relentlessly Order to Preserve the Vineyards. in WRIGHTS, CaL., Aug. 6.—The proceed- ings at Camp Roache to-day were most interesting to those who were present, as they dealt with a practical problem con- fronting most of the audience. Professor E. W. Hilgard being too ill to attend, A. P. Hayne, instractor in charge of viticulture and olive culture at the State University, lectured by request on *‘Phylloxera Prob- rest reproducing their kind by partheno- genisis. The rarity of the winged form in this State was no protection from the pest, as had been shown by sad experience. The vine-grower should watch every vine, and the moment he found a weak one examine the roots, and if not able to determine the cause of the trouble send samples of fresh roots to the university. If it was pronounced shylloxera he should at once mercilessly destroy every sickly vine and ten or twelve rows of healthy ones immediately surrounding the spot with carbon bisulphide and gas lime, and in a year replant with resistant American roots on which were grafted, the variety of V. vinifera desired. He cautioned those who desired to replant against committing the same mistake thatthe Europeans made thirty years ago in getting unselected vines from the forests of the East. showing how a nurseryman in the East could sell a carload of Vitis riparia or rupestris, and yet in that carload there might not be two varieties that were proper for the purposes required. The French did this, and had te replant tens of thousands of acres before they found that the great American families had each as many subvarieties as the Vitis vinifera, and that all these dif- fered as much. The speaker said that the California vine- growers should iake adyantage of the years of experiment (practiced on a scale of millions of acres) of those abroad, and should not begin where they began, as had been recommended by some self-styled “practical men” who would advise. It was clearly shown that while some one in the Mississippi Valley would fill an order for a carload of Riparia, out of all this there might not be a dozen cuttings that were what was desired, while all might be bona-fide Riparias—just as one might send to Europe for a shipfond of the Vitis Vini- fera, meaning to get a Cabernet Sauvignon ; and while all might be of the Vitis re- quired, he might not get a single vine that was of the variety desired. e dwelt on PROFESSOR E. A, ROSS, ONE OF THE EDUCATORS GIVING IN- STRUCTIVE LECTURES AT CAMP ROACHE. [Reproduced from a photograph.] lem.” This is a live subject all over the State, and was listened to with the greatest attention. Mr. Hayne prefaced his remarks by a brief history of the phylloxera, showing that it was a native of the eastern part of | the United States, and had been carried to Europe shortly before the Franco-Prussian war; how it had cost France alone more money than the war itself; how it had spread to all the wine-growing countries of the world, devastating the most fertile regions and spreading ruin everywhere; and how, finally, it had been introduced into California, and had already destroyed thousancs of acres of the best vineyards of the State. The apathy of the wine-growers was dwelt upon, showing how they could have given their vineyards a twenty years’ and His Bartender Fa- tally Wounded. Capture of a Mexican Thought to Have Assisted In the Crime. ASHLAND. OR., Aug. 6.—At Coles, in the Siskiyou Mountains, George C. Sears and his bartender, Casper Myerham, were found last night in a semi-conscious con- ditions lying in front of Sears’ saloon door. Sears’ body lay at the bottom of the short steps near the door, and Myer- ham’s on the porch, six feet from the steps. Sears had a bullet hole through his head from the top, and Myerham was shot in the neck and twice in tfie front part of the head. 4 A section crew near by heard the shoot- ing and hastened to the saloon, but saw no one retreating. Sears’ 16-year-old son was some distance from the house, and as he started toward the saloon two men ran past him as fast as they could go, striking off the north road and away from the track. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, and the wounded men cannot tell a con- nected tale. Thest;had no weapons about themselves, and Sears had over $50 on his person. Drs. West and Poole, who dressed their wounds, thought both would die before morning. Posses commenced scouring the woods for a Mexican, aged 35 years, and a white man about 25 years old, 'who got off of a freight train and went to the saloon a few minutes before the shooting. The Mexi- can was tracked five miles and captured. He was identified by Mrs. Lytleton as one of the men who passed her boarding- house headed from the freight train for the saloon. No weapons were found on him.. Just before being captured he asked a man on the train ig he had seen his partner. The forefinger of his hand was wounded and covered with dry blood, and there were bloodstains on hisclothing. He was taken to the County Jail at Yreka to-day, and the posse expects to catch his companion to-morrow. One theory is the men went into Sears’ saloon and he attempted to put them out when a row ensued. The bartender, who was putting down a bed in an adjoining room, came to Sears’ rescue, and both were shot. Sears came to California in 1852 and to Coles with the railroad con- struction. | —_——— DROWNED IN THE SANTA ANA. W. H. Clark’s Body Found in the River at Bear Falley. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL, Aug. 6.— ‘Word was received this afternoon by tele- phone from Bear Valley of the finding of the body of W. H. Clark in Santa Ana River, three miles below Seven Oaks. Clark is supposed to have been drowned while crossing the stream on a log three days ago. They then turned the stream out of its course by damming it, and found the body to one side, where there had been an eddy. The remains were brought to this city. lease of life had they had the courage to face the truth and deal with the pest with the energy that the Swiss nation did. After four years of personal observation and study in Europe the gentleman an- nounced it as his opinion that every vine of the Vitis vinifera on its own roots was doomed to ultimate destruction from this est. - “This,” he said, “is no idea of my own, but is the lesson that has been learned from a thirty years’ struggle with this in- sect in the Old World, where it has devas- tated millions of acres. It has been found possible to postpone the destruction of vineyards, but no one expects to be able to keep it down for all time. The day will come—and is not far off—when every vine in the world will be grown on resistant American roots. “California was cut off from the eastern part of this continent by mountains and deserts that made it as an island, and the phylloxera did not .reach us till it had crossed the ses and devastated millions of acres abroad. When it reachea us we did not regard it as we should have done. Finding that the winged form was rarer here than elsewhere, we lived in a fool's paradise, in spite of the timely warnings of Professor Hilgard of the university. Politicians instead of scientific men got control of things and attempted to do scientific work without’ scientific training. The result is that to-day the phylloxera has ravaged thousands of acres in Califor- nia and has gained a foothold in almost all grape-growing regions of the State. So firmly is it rooted that all that can be done is to postpone the inevitable by heroic treatment.” After enumerating certain regions in which he had found it (though people said that it had ‘not yet made its appearance) Professor Hayne gave the very compli- cated life history in a few words, showing, how it first made its appearance on the leaves in the form of a harmless gall in- sect; then, passing to the roots, caused the ruin of the entire root system by rotting the wood tissue; then coming to the sur- face and assuming an entirely distinct form (the winged) it was blown by the winds to neighboring vineyards, where it laid an egg that produced an insect differ- ing from the others in that it was the only sexuated form, the insects never nourish- ing themselves but perishing as soon as they had copulated and laid the winter egg, from which the original gall form came. It is a remarkable fact that though it assumed all these forms, and that each inse ct laid from 400 to 500 eggs in the leaf, diminishing till the final generation laid but fifty, and then going down to the roots each of this fifty laid from 400 to 500 and this, as some so-called experts had been recommending this to the California grow- ers, and many had already lost consider- able money by following their advice. After the lecture many questions were asked by those having practical lessons to be learned and_applied to their special cir- cumstances. The fact that the United States Government and the State had pro- vided ample means for instruction and guidance for all engaged in agriculture at the University of California was brought out, and those desiring fuller details were told just how to get them, the State being more fully equipped in this line than any other commonwealth in the world. Professor Ross spoke on the theoretic side of the money question this sfternoon. He gave three distinct functions of money, viz.: A circulating medium or vehicle of value; a common denomination of value, and a measure of value between different periods. He defined an honest dollar as one which was constant and uniform, and urged that the best dollar was not the big- gest dollar, but one whose value was ex- actly the same at one time as another. He said_the value of a dollar was influ- enced, first, by the number of dollars; second, by the rapidity of circulation: third, by the quantity of circulation; fourth, by the number of exchanges: fifth, by the extent of barter, and sixch, by the extent of credit. It was also urged that the Government could modify only the dollars themselves and the number of dollars. Professor Ross gave asa consequence of a dishonest dollar injury to the debtor class and benefit to the creditor class, and the depreciation in value of investments. — LOOK OUT FOR BREAKERS AHEAD when pimples, eruptions, boils, and like manifes. tations of impure blood appear.
