- THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1895. LEFT WITHOUT BOOTY Unsuccessful Attempt to Rob a Train in Colorado. TOOK THE WRONG CAR. The Bandits Blundered When They Detached One of the Coaches. WERE PUT TO SUDDEN FLIGHT. Became Alarmed at a Demonstra- tion on the Part of the Passengers. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 11.—An unsuc- ul attempt at train-robbery was made 35 o’clock this morning by two men at Crevasse siding on the Rio Grande ‘Western near the Utah line. When the regular westbound mailtrain stopped at the water-tank the robbers un- coupled the forward car from the train, and, suddenly appearing bpefore the astonished crew on the locomotive, ordered them to go ahead. Atthe end of the switch they ordered the locomotive to be detached from the car and drawn away, leaving the car standing alone. This was the mailcar, in which Mail Clerk H. M. Todd was preparing to resist. When the engineer saw the robbers pro- duce dynamite he told them he would get the clerk to oven the door, and he was ordered to do it in a hurry. The engineer went to the car door and told Todd that it was useless for him to resist, as the men had dynamite and would blow him up, and it would be better to open the door. When the robbers told him to throw out any valuable express matter he might have within, Todd told them that the express- car had been left with the train. They had uncoupled the wrong car. The rob- bers then asked Todd if he had any regis- tered mail in the car. Todd replied that be bhad not a parcel of any description or registered matter, and suggested that they had better be looking after the express- ,car if they expectea to do business on that ‘trip. Leaving the mailcar, they started a few steps toward the train, and Todd made a jump for his revolver. At the same time suspicions were aroused on account of demonstrations going on in the coaches, as the lights had been turned out. The robbers seem to have been stricken with a sudden fear, and, without stopping to look in either direction, the men made a dash into the high greasewood, where it is sup- posed they had horses concealed. The train was detained only fifty minutes in all, and proceeded on to Sait Lake. Officers are now hot on the outlaws’ trail with a good description of the men, PLANNED AN ESCAPE. The Murderers of the Meeks Family Trapped by a Watchman. CARROLLTON, Mo., Sept. 11.—Soon after the jury in the second trial of the Taylor brothers rendered a verdict of guilty of murder of the Meeks family and Judge Rucker sentenced them to be hanged Octo- ber 4, the two manifested a friendliness for Nightwatchman Brown of the County Jail, and as soon as they felt sure that he was their friend they offered him a liberal sum of money to assist them in “‘breaking” out of jail. Brown then gave the proposi- tion in detail to Sheriff Stanley, who in- structed him to encourage the Taylors and hear all their plans. Brown met the lor brothers the next night and assured them that he could and would fix it so that they conld escape, but as it would throw suspicion upon him and the condemned murderers to be seen con- versing together, it would be advisable to conduct further negotiations in writing. They accepted the advice, and as the let- ters were received by Brown they were submitted by him to Sheriff Stanley, who of course knew what replies were sent to the Taylors. Extra guards will now be put in the jail. Smleam DISCHARGED AN EX-SOLDIER. A Proceeding That Resulted n the Arrest of Police Commissioners. WICHITA, Kaxs., Sept. 11.—The Board of Police Commissioners were arrested to- night for having discharged an ex-soldier without cause. George W. Huckins, an officer who was discharged soon after the new board entered upon its work, was the complaining witness. There is a law on the statute books mak- ing it an offense punishable by a fine of not less: than §100 for a public officer to discriminate against an ex-Union soldier and the arrest was made under this act. The Commissioners were dumfounded when the warrant was read to them. They have given bumi. The trouble #1 arose out of the pro- hibition action that has been going on for three months past. PROSTRATION BY HEAT. Torrid Weather Reported From the Cen- tral States. MARSHALLTOWN, Towa, Sept. 11.— The hottest weather on record for this time of the vear in this part of the country has been recorded during the last two days. The mercury has not fallen below 90 degrees in forty-eight hours, and the highest mark has been 8. Business has been almost at a standstill. ACINE, Wis,, Sept. 11.—The ther- mometer has been above 90 degrees in the shade all day here, and in the afternoon many persons were prostrated. PEORTA, Iux., Sept. 11—Many prostra- tions from heat were recorded in this city to-day. The mercury registered 106 de- grees in the shade at 1 o'clock. gy Utah and Wyoming Railroad. CHEYENNE, Wro., Sept. 11.—The stockholders of the Colorado, Utah and Wyoming Railroad and Land Company have approved the route selected for the railroad and authorized the issue of bonds. The road will commence near Rawlins and will run via the Four-mile Placers to Craig and Steamboat Springs, Colo,, and west- ward to Ashléy, Utah. It is understood that a New York house has arranged for $2,500,000 bonds, the proceeds to be used in the construction of the first division. e ainn Fined for Bridge-Jumping. NEW YORK, N. Y., 8ept. 11. —Mrs. Clara McArthur, the first woman to jump from the Brooklyn bridge, was fined $5 by Magistrate Crane in the Tombs Police Court thismorning. She paid the fine and left the court with her husband. The woman seems to have fully recovered from her immersion. Decomposed Eggs for Carl Browne. EATSON, Mb., Sept. 11.—A volley of de- composed eggs was fired at ex-Marshal Carl Browne of Coxey army fame last night, and broke up a political meeting which he was addressing here in the inter- ests of the People’s party candidates. He | bed just finished an outburst of oratory’ . 3 |denounc‘mg the “bond steal,”” when eggs fell thick and fast about him. He scored his assailants and attempted to continue his speech, but the audience was in con- fusion and he was compelled to desist. 1t looked for a time as if there would be a free-for-all fight, but finally the crowd dis- persed. CHARGED WITH FKAUD. Ex-Congressman McShane Under Arrest in Chicago. CHIGAGO, IrL., Sept. 11.—Ex-Congress- man John A. McShane of Omaha and A. H. Culver, an attorney of this city, have been arrested on warrants secured by G. E. Bartlett of the firm of Bartlett & Roach, charged with fraud in a real-estate deal. The charges include fraudulent transfers of property, and the amount said to have been unlawfully secured is placed at $65,- 000. Messrs. McShane and Culver were released on $1000 bail. Mr. McShane denies all connection with the transaction and declares he wiil bring suit for damages for false imprisonment. A warrant is also out for H. .. Scannell, Mr. McShane’s partner in Omaha, but it has not yet been served. The matter is somewhat complicated by frequent trans- fers and retransfers of real estate, and it is difficult to get at the exact merits of the case. e Shot His Uncle Dead. GUTHRIE, O. T., Sept. 11.—Near Good- land a 10-year-old son of Clay Lemon saw his father and uncle, Joe Lemon, play- fully scuflling for possession of a gun and believing his father to be in danger he ran into the house, grabbed up a gun and shot his uncle dead. FOULED BY VALKYRIE Continued from First Page. kyrie lost one actually, and the second virtually. Whatever may be the commit- tee’s verdict, it is impossible to doubt that the American champion achieved a moral victory. There seems to be nosmall doubt that Mr. Herreshoff has again designed a yvacht that is exceedingly well adapted to the purpose for which she was built. Therein we must seek our consolation, for were he not handicapped by having to design a vessel which, first of all, has to brave the Atlantic, it is more than likely that Mr. Watson would turn outa shell capable of turning the tables. Yet, our challenge was issued with the full knowledge of the hardest of the conditions governing the contests, and there is no use of grumbling afterward; but, for the sake of cheering up our despondent pride, let us imagine that the Yankees challenged for the Royal Victoria gold cup.” The Daily News will say: “The com- mittee has not only taken Tuesday’s sup- posed victory from the British yacht, but has given it to the American. This seems to be rather sharp practice. It may be the rigor of racing law, but it is hardly sport. If the umpire had done his duty he would have recalled the yachts and had a fresh start. Thecommittee’s severe award makes poor reciprocity for the generous treatment of the Cornell crew at Henley.” The Chronicle will say to-morrow: We confess we see no reason in the facts placed before the committee for the de- cision giving the race to the Defender. The foul occurred before the starting gun was fired and before the line was crossed. The Defender might have backed out, but she elected to race. Had the Valkyrie wil- fully fouled the Defender during the race the penalty could not have been greater. The committee’s explanation does not improve matters. We should not be sur- prised if Bord Dunraven declared the rest of the races off and refuses to compete again, but if he consents to .continue, as we hope he will, Thursday’s race will prob- ably settle the matter, as there is not much doubt now that the Defender is the faster. The Standard: The decision will be re- ceived with much regret in England. It is unlucky, to say the least, that the result deprives Lord Dunraven of what seemed to be a fairly won victory. We do not imply that there is the slightest rea- son to suspect the committee of par- tiality. = We recognize the kindly spirit that prompted them to question the competitors as to whether they would like to race again without a decision on the disputed point. Evidently the foul was a pure accident. We only express our belief that had the positions been reversed Lord Dunraven would have cheerfully agreed to resail the race as a solution of the difficulty. AL YACHTSMAN ASHBURY DEAD. He Was an Unswocessful Competitor for the America Cup. LONDON, Ex6., Sept. 11.—The death of Mr. J. C. Ashbury, formerly a mem- ber of the House of Commons and a well-known yachtsman, is announced to- day. The announcement says that he died on the 3d inst., but does not give the place of his death. Mr. Ashbury took the yacht Cambria to America in 1870 and unsuccessfully com- | peted for the America cup. In 1871 he again contested for the cup with the yacht Livonia, and won one out of the four races sailed. Mr. Ashbury died suddenly. BREVITIES FROM THE WIRE.

DEATH IN & COLLISION Passenger Trains on the Great Northern Road Wrecked. MET IN THE DARKNESS. Both Engines and the Mail and Baggage Cars Reduced to Debris. FIVE MEN LOST THEIR LIVES. One Train Running Behind Schedule Time Supposed to Have Caused the Accident. ALEXANDRIA, Minx., Sept.11.—As a result of an awful blunder, Great Northern trains numbers 2 and 3 collided near 'Melby, a small flag station about midway between Ashton and Evansville, this morn- ing, at 1:40 o’clock. Just how the acci- dent occurred cannot be learned. No.2, the eastbound train, while running at a comparatively high rate of speed, crashed into No. 3, the westbound train. The following are the killed: J. K. Emerson, engineer of train No. James Thiebodo, fireman train No. 2; ‘W. H. Kershaw, express messenger train No. 2; E. T. Johnson, mail clerk train No. ; Ira 8. Haines, engineer train No. 3. The injured are: Wesley 'C. Rotert, brakeman, left hand hurt; Fred Burgoyne, brakeman, arm and leg scalded; 8. D. Betzner, express messenger, leg broken and eye injured; George Williams, mail clerk, seriously injured internally; J. O. Rosenquist, mail clerk, injured in the back, not seriously; Frank M. Curtis, Mason, Wis., arm, leg and face injured, not seriously; Miss Margaret Allison, Mason, Wis., badly cut and bruised over the entire body and back injured; Maurice 0O’Connor, St. Paul, mail clerk, head and limbs injured; Chris Baglow, Fergus Falls, internally and limbs injured; H. H. Mobhr, San Francisco, head and hands in- jured; Steve Martin, Streator, Ill., head and limb cut; Mrs. John Russell, Duluth, on her way to Rugby, N. D., badly jarred and shocked. The point where the accident occurred is at the top of what 1s known as Pelican Hill. Originally the siding here was put in so trains could be taken over the hill in sections, but of late years the grade has been so reduced that the practice has ceased. The station is five miles east of Ashton and four miles west of Evansville, and both trains were due to pass each other at Ashton at 1:25. The train from the East was evidently behind its schedule time, as it should have been at Ashton at the time the accident occurred, but in- stead of that was at 1:40 just west of Melby. It was on this heavy grade that the two fast fiyers met, and how the death list is so small is miraculous, as both engines and the mail and baggagecars which followed are complete wrecks. The dispatcher’s office here this morning is a gloomy place. Chief Dispatcher Bus- kirk stated the wreck was the worst in the history of the system and five of the best men had been killed. He said that blame of the accident does not attach to his office, but declines to say where it did lay. The accident is supposed to be the result of train No. 3 passing its meetipg point, which was fixed at Melby by special train order. The injured are at Evansville and at farmhouses near the wreck and are being cared for by physicians. All the killed were residents of St. Paul. SCHOFIELD’S SUCCESSOR. The Honor Likely to Fall to Major-Gen- eral Miles. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 1L.—Lieu- tenant-General John M. Schofield goes on the retired list, by operation of law, on ac- count of age, on the 29th inst., and the chief topic of discussion in army circles now is about his successor. Unless signs usually infallible fail in this instance, Major-General Nelson A. Miles, now com- manding the military department of the East, with headquarters at New York, will receive the honor. When Major-General Ruger came to this city several weeks ago on special duty con- nected with the formulation of the new drill regulations for the army General Miles’ stock drodpped, as it was announced in well-informed circles that Ruger’s trans- fer was simply preliminary to his promo- tion to the command of the army that he was brought to Washington, to accustom him to his new field of duty. Now, how- ever, General Miles, the senior major- general, is considered slated for the place, while General Ruger, his immediate junior, is placed by the knowing ones as his suc- cessor in command of the department of the East. General Wesley Merritt, the third major- general who was recently p! in com mand of the department of the Missouri, with station at Chicago, will probably re- tain that command, nor is there likely. to be any other changes in station or duty of the other general officers now in com- mand of various deganmenta Inasmuch as General Schofield occupies the distin- guished position of lieutenant-general, a grade revived for his special benefit, his retirement will result in no promotions and will make no changes in the present mulitary status of the major-generals other than has been already indicated. prattnts" Smaeew BELOW THE LIMIT. Gold From the Syndicate Fails to Keep Up the Reserve. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 11.—Short- 1y before 4 o’clock this afternoon Assistant Treasurer Jordan at New York telegraphed the Treasury Department that the syndi- cate had deposited $3,000,000 in gold coin in exchange for greenbacks. Prior to this a telegram announced that $1,100,000 had been withdrawn for export to Europe. With withdrawals and deposits account- ed for the true treasury gold reserve at the close of business to-day stood at $99,370,- 003. Since the present export movement began about $24,000,000 in gold has been exported and the syndicate has deposited in exocess of its bond requirements about $14,000,000 in gold. Aside from the gold export movement and its effect upon the treasury gold re- serve the treasury situation is regarded as uite encouraging. It is estimated that or this month the excess of receipts over expenditures will be between $3,000,000 and ,000,000.

Stewart tninks he discovers in both parties a disposition 10 postpone their conventions uatil it is too late for the Populists to organize. He already beginning to think about the Pop- ulist convention. Stewart is very much incensed at ex-Speaker Crisp on account of a published interview, in which the Geor- ian declares himself in favor of Whitney or President. ‘“Crisp is a pretty kind of a silver man, ain’t he?” said Senator Btewart to THE Cars correspondent. “He has been cap- tured by the English.” ——— “FIGHTING BOB’” EVANS HONURED Will Be Placed in Command of the Bat- tleship Indiana. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 11.—The Sun’s Washington special says: “Fighting Bob'’ Evans will have his ap- plication to be transferred from the New York to the Indiana granted. He will have the honor of commanding the navy’s first battleship and the larzest war vessel constructed in this country. Secretary Herbert was opposed at first to the trans- fer of Evans, and it is believed he makes the assignment at the request of the Presi- dent, who will grant Evans almost any naval detail he wishes. The detail of *Fighting Bob” is sure to creatq surprisein the navy, where it is held that o fine a vessel as the Indiana and the only battleship ready for service should be in charge of a captain higher in rank than Evans, who was only promoted about seyen months ago. 2 . KILLED HIM ANYWAY. The Apology Was Forthcoming But It Was Not Satisfactory. PERRY. Fra., Sept. 11.—Yesterday Ste- phen Colson shot and killed his brother- in-law, Henry Nealy. The wives of the two men quarreled some days ago and Nealy cursed Colson’s wifé. Colson had been hunting for him since then. They met to-day and Colson, presenting a shotgun, demanded an apology. Neal began to apologize, when Colson said, “I'll just kill you anyvway.” Nealy started to run and Colson fired both barrels of the gun, the charges hitting Nealy in the back and killing him instantly. ~Colson has been arrested. He says Nealy insulted his wife and he was simply carrying out his niarital vows in killing him. MUST PAY THE ROVALTIES An Interesting Decision In a Controversy Between Elect- ricians. Judge Bischoff’s Reasons for Sus- taining a Demurrer In the Action. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 11.—Judge Bischoff in the Court of Common Pleas has handed down a decision involving an important question in regard to the re- covery of royalties on patents of the Edi- son General Electric Company, which it is claimed the United States Circuit Court has declared invalid. The case in which Judge Bischoff rendered his opinion was brought by George Maitland and the General Fixture Company against Henry P. Drew and John May. The plaintiffs sued to recover royalties due them from the defendants, who do business in this city unaer the firm name of- Drew & May. The plain- tiffs alleged that on November 1, 1891, the defendants entered into an agreement with = Maitland and the Edison General Electric Company, by which Maitland and the Edison General Electric Company authorized and licensed the defendant to manufacture and sell electric fixtures, combined gas and elgetric light fixtures and other electric light ap- paratus under twenty-six letters patent in consideration of paying a royalty of 3 per cent on all net sales. The plaintiffs allege that between October, 1889, and January 1, 1895, the defendants’ sales amounted to $3000 each quarter and that there is due them $450 in royalties. Prior tothe institution of the snit the plaintiffs allege that the Edison General Electric Company assigned its inter- ests in the patents involved to the Gen- eral Fixture Company. The defendants filed an answer to the plaintiffs, setting up by way of defense that the patents upon which royalties were demanded had been declared invalid by the United States Cir- cuit Court, and that the plaintiffs for that reason had no cause of action. The defendants also filed a counter- claim for $461, which they claim to have paid the plaintiffs upon invalid patents. The plaintiffs demurred to this answer and Judge Bischoff sustained the demur- rer with costs. In his opinion Judge Bischoff said: ‘It is well settled that a license of a patent under a royalty contract cannot proceed to manufacture and sell the vatented articles and resist a claim for royalties upon the grounds that the patents were invalid unless he give notice of his intention to repudiate the contract before the royalties accrued.” He also held that the defendants could not recover the money paid by them. . ROUTED THE STKIKERS. How the Notorious Dr. Charticr Won a Unique Bet, ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sept. 14.—Dr. Chartier, who yesterday issued a challenge to Edi- tor J. S. Moffit of the Cincinnati Tribune to fight a duel, was a marked figure in this city twelve years ago. He was ever pres- ent in the downtown resorts of the news- paper men and claimed kinship to them on the strength of an attenuated connection with the publications of & patent medicine oompm:iy. The doctor could be found everywhere and was as eccentric in his movements as a bat at twilight. As one city editor put it, the chief purpose of the doctor’s life was fo lay sdditional burdens on newspaper ed- itors. He was an industrious and persist- ent pencil mechanic on any subject, not excluding those he knew nothing abeut, and refusal to print them only gave him renewed courage. Withal he was a man of expedients and some originality, as the following will af- firm: Fourteen years ago there was a strike on all the streetcar lines of the city. The trouble becama violent. Cars were de- railed, dynamite was used and a number of passengers were injured. In discussing the matter at a downtown restaurant the doctor wagered the ‘‘fizz and feed’’ for the party that he could sto}:ahe devilment in twenty-four hours. ter that night Chartier, in the disguise of a typical an- archist, appeared in 8 newspaper office and said he was an anarchist just arrived from Paris with six companions, all hay- ing fled from certain execution, The were opposed to the oppressions of capital, but deplored the malmmfior innocent peo- le on streetcars and had decided to stop it.

WINNER BY A NECK Backers of Henry of Navarre Reap a Harvest. COAST SPORTS LOSERS. Rey EIl Santa Anita a Bad Last in the Three-Cornered Race. DOMINO SET THE RUNNING. Overhauled by the Favorite Only After They Had Entered the Homestretch. SHEEPSHEAD BAY RACETRACK, N. Y., Sept. 11.—Close to 10,000 of the turf’s best patrons were here to-day. The pro- gramme was of a high order, but the mag- net that drew the spectators was the meet- ing of the three cracks, Domino, Henry of Navarre and Rey el Santa Anita, at a mile and a furlong. The outcome was to settle the question of the best horse of ihe year. The talent was stanch in its allegiance to Henry of Navarre. Domino was second choice. Rey el Santa Anita had the con- ‘sideration of the Pacific Coast contingent only. The big race was the fifth on the card and Henry of Navarre opened and ruled favorite throughout the quotations. Riley Grannan went the rounds of the ring with Henry of Navarre money. His big- gest bet was with Joe Ullman, who laid him $12,000 against $10,000. When the flag fell, the Western plunger stood to win $60,000 on Henry of Navarre. At the eleventh hour itlooked very much as it the battle for supremacy of the American turf would not take place. Both E. J. Baldwin, the owner of the Santa Anita stable, and Byron McClelland, who trains and manages Henry of Navarre, de- clined'to race their horses unless James R. Keene signed an agreement to race two longer distances under similar conditions. After a long argument Keene agreed to sign articles to that effect. Domino was somewhat fractious at the post, but they got the signal to depart on the second break. Domino bad the rail, and at once settléd down to a killing pace. He carried his rivals along at a terrific clip. He had a clear and decisive lead un- til the upper turn was reached. Perkins then sent Henry of Navarre up to him. At the far turn Henry of Navarre and Rey el Santa Anita began to wear down Domino’s lead. As they swung into the homestretch Henry of Navarre was within striking distance of Domino. The hopes of the Californians were dashed at this juncture, for Rey el Santa Anita was in hopeless difficulties in the rear. Henry of Navarre flashed by the post the winner of the first of the championship series by a neck. Rey el Santa Anita was a bad last. The other big event on the card was thg race for the September stakes, and was won by Nanki Pooh afteyr a severe drive with the odds-on favorite, Flying Dutchman, defeating him by two lengths.

Y., Journal this morning says: Last week Jim Corbett announced that he would commence active training on the following Monday. This was one of a series of notices that were sent out, each delaying the date upon which he would begin his work. Monday came, but Jim did not show up at his quarters, and yes- terday he left fora week’s jaunt tarough Canada. Yesterday a reporter visited Corbett’s training quarters at Loch Arber, where the same deserted and inactive appearance was perceptible as was noticed at a previ- ous visit some weeks ago. Billy Delaney was there taking matters easy. He said that Corbett was either going or had gone to Canada to play ball. He did not seem to know much of the details as he had not seen Corbett for a day or so. Mrs. Corbett ‘was to remain at home, but he doubted it, saying: “The Madame probably won’t like that arrangement, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she went along. Jim said he would try and get back by Friday, but, of course, we don’t expect him till he shows up.” In response to a direct inquiry as to whether Corbett had done any training for his battle with Fitzsimmons Delaney said : “No; Jim has done no work at all as yet. You can see for yourself that the agpcratus and quarters are not even in shape. He has intended smrting in his work several times, but has not done so. The fact is, I doubt that he will do any- thing in the way of training before he goes to Texas the tirst of next month. He has had too much of it lately, and a rest will do him good. He doesn’t need much training anyway, and will have plenty of time to get himself in shape after he goes to Texas.” It was plainly evident that there was a lack of confidence in the “bringing off” of the big fight among the occupants of the Corbett quarters. g *‘There is more behind Corbett's delay in training,” said a well-known sporting man lesterda , “than bas been made public. Corbett for some reason is evidently trying to get away from meeting Fitzsimmons. It is plain that he is not in condition, and still more evident that up to the present time he has done nothing to better this condition. It eertainly looks as if his agreement to battle was not made in good faith and that at the last minute he will find an excuse for fighting shy of his chal- lenger.” Sept. 11.—The -~ Pennsylvania Demoorats Nominate. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Sept. 11.—The delegates to the Democratic State conven- tion were slow in arriving this morning. Ex-Congressman B. F. Meyers of Harris- burg was nominated for State Treasurer. The first ballot for Superior Court Judges resulted in the choice of Yerkes, Moore- head, Smith, Noyes and Brechtel. An- other ballot was taken for the sixth nomi- nee, which resulted in the selection of Judge Christopher Magee of Allegheny. The platform strongly indorses the Cleve- land administration and scores the policy of the Pennsylvania State Government. Sy gl Drowned in a Ditch. ; PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. 11.—While a party of picnickers were proceeding homeward last night, in the southern sec- tion of the city, their wagon was driven into a ditch and one of the occupants, Christopher Hoffman, aged 15 years, fell beneath the horses and was either drowned or suffocated in the mud. g Sl Death of an Aged Minister, PLAINFIELD, Irn., Sept. 11. — Rev.
