Finding of a Hat, False Mustache and Spectacles to Be Used as Evidence. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 29.—Mrs. Emma Hannah is now in jail at Albany charged with the shooting of Mrs. Lottie Hiatt, at Jordan Thursday night. Mrs. Hannah de- nies committing the crime. One theory is that Mrs. Hannah was goaded to the shooting by Mrs. Hiatt’s | attention to ber husband, but facts as given out by the officers are that on Thurs- day evening Mrs. Hannah dressed in | man’s clothing, wearing glasses and a [ false mustache, appeared at the home of Mrs. Holman, Mrs. Hiatt’s mother, re- presenting herself to be a bookagent. Mrs. Holman and Mrs. Hiatt refused to subscribe for a book, whereupon the agent whipped out a revolver and demanded the treasures of the house. The women resisted and the supposed book agent fired her revolver, the ball lodging in the ceiling. The two women seized sticks of wood and beat back their | assailant into the yard, where the mother | | | was struck on the head with the revolver, leaving her insensible. The daughter started to flee ana was shot in the back of the head. Two shots took effect. It is further alleged that the urpose of the assault was robbery, as Mrs. f{unnah knew Mrs. Holman had collected $500 on a note that afternoon. Bruises on the face of the murderess, re- ceived during the encounter, are strong evidence against her. Her hat, which was knocked off, together with a false mus- tache and spectacles, was recognized as be- longing to Mrs. Hannah’s son. Mrs. Hiatt’s wounds are fatal. Sesecivger o Gone With Another Man. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 290.—Ole Olsen, ship-helper, returned here yesterday after six months’ absence in Alaska, finding himself deserted by his wife, who robbed him of $400, all he had.

P R Solid Railroad Foundations. SANTA BARBARA, Car., Sept 20.— Word comes down from the northwestern part of the county that the railrord force which has been boring for solid founda- tions for piers in arroyas, rivers and creeks along the coast south of Guadaluope, has now nearly completed its work, and has been successful in every instance in finding satisfactory foundations at a reasonable deptb. ~ This happy circum- stanco will grent‘l!y facilltate the progress of the coast road, and enable contractors to complete it at a much earlier date than otherwise would have been possible. e i Anvestigating a Scandal.

Will Open Up a Market for Fruit and Vegetables in the Valley. CONNECTION WITH STEAMEBS.“ WIll Furnish a Valuable Feeder for the San Francisco and San Joaquin. STOCKTON, CAL., Sept. 29.—The grade on the Stockton and Lodi terminal rail- road will be completed to-morrow evening, and the projectors announce that they will begin track-laying in a short time. The length of the road from this citv to Lodi is only sixteen miles, but the line will, when completed, be a very important one, as it opens a fine local and San Fran- cisco market to the fruit and vegetable- growers along the line. The trains will be made to connect with the river steamers, and with the cheap freights in their favor the producers can place their products on the San Francisco markets at a very low price and reserve a neat profit for themselves. It will also be a valuable feeder to the Valley Railroad 1n the way of light freights. The company has acquired terminal facili- ties on Stockton Channel and expects to deliver freight and passengers to steamers at the company’s own wharves. FRESSNU LABOR SCARCE. They Have Sent to San Franoisco for One Hundred Girls. FRESNO, CaL., Sept. 29.—A number of | local fruit and raisin-packers have sent to | San Francisco for 100 girls to work in the packing-houses.

Aépresem rates they easn from §$1 to $1 50 a day. Nearly all the packing-houses are unable to handle what dried fruit and raisins they have on hand, and consequently they have sent to San Francisco for help. ST RO SCHOOL WhR Officials Refuse to Pay the Teachers for Their Ser- vices. Mandamus Proceedings Will Brought to Make Them Show Cause. Be SANTA ROSA, CarL., Sept. 29.—A sen- sation in public school affairs in this place is imminent. The Superintendent of Schools and the County Auditor and Treasurer have refused to honor the war- rants of certain teachers. The teachers will go into court asking | that a writ of mandate issue requiring that these officials appear and show cause for their action. Albert G. Burnett, one of the teachers, resigned at the last meeting of the School Board on account of the storm that has been gathering for several months. The trouble has arisen over the arbitrar; action of certain teachers in teaching sucg studies as Superintendent Davis consid- ered 1mpracticable and not provided for in the statutes. i Among those studies were vertical hand- writing, vivisection and foreign langnages. There has been considerable complaint that pupils were being fitted for clerical positions only and that the practical and necessary branches were neglected. The details of their offending will be brought out when the mandamus proceed- ings come before the court for hearing. The officials claim to have good cause for their refusal to honor the teachers’ warrants. Whether these reasons will meet the legal requisite is to be seen. Sensational revelations are promised when the case comes up. - ROW IN THE FRESNO JAIL. Six Toughs Attack the Jailer, but Were Finally Subduwed.

FOOLED BY TELLURIDE. An Old Waste Dump Discloses an Astonishing Quality of Ore. PROSPECTOR BEALE'S LUCK. He Puts the Californla Mother Lode Above the World for Value. {Special Correspondence of THE CALL.] SAN ANDREAS, Car., Sept. 27.—Ru- mors have been current here for several days of a rich strike on the Seiffert ranch, two miles out on the Copperopolis road. A visit to the mine to-day proved the dis- covery to be more important even than rumor had represented. A short time ago J. H. Beale, a pro- fessional prospector, after looking over Mr. Seiffert’s ground, asked the privilege of prospecting on it, as he believed the indi- cations were favorable for finding gold. Several veins crop out on the place, and the gulches below have been rich in placer gold. Mr. Seiffert is something of & pros- pector himself, and believes in giving every man & show, so he agreed to give Mr. Beale balf of anything be should discover. Some years ago Mr. Seiffert had sunk a shaft on the crest of a high ridge running in the general course of the mother lode, northwest and southeast, but on a ledge running rearly at right angles to it. He went down fifty-five feet, and obtained oc- casional rich prospects of free gold, but not enough, in his opinion, to pay, so he finally quit work there, and has not thought much about it since. Beale ex- amined the rock thrown out on the dump one day and discovered that it contained telluride, and that the whole pile was good pay ore. Communicating his discovery to Mr. Seiffert they went to work jointly hunt- ing for a continuation of the vein, and soon found a cropping on the hillside be- low. Breaking up the bowlder protruding above the surface they were astonished and delighted to find it rich in free gold and telluride. This was about ten days ago. Since then they have been quietly at work prospecting the new find, and have done enough work to prove a big chimney of high-grade ore. Beginning at the original find, they have made an open cut along the line of the vein for forty or fifty leet, and at the deegest place are down about ten feet, with the vein rapidly increasing in size and retaining the same character of rich ore. Everything is rich in gold, from the dirt on the surface to the bottom of the cut. There are about twenty tons on the dump, and Mr. Beale says it will easily average $100 per ton. There are many fine specimen pieces that will go as high as $1000 per ton. John C. Seiffert, the owner of the ranch, has lived here for eighteen years. He has 480 acres of land and is moderately well-to- do. Hishome is generally known as the Kentucky House, it having formerly been a wayside inn by that name. e has named the mine the Bismarck, in memor: of the great Chancellor of the Fatherland. J. H. Beale is 40 years old and claims to have been the first white male born in Tuolumne County. He was born in a wagon on the road and says he has kept moving ever since. He is a typical prospector, having followed that cnfling since he was a boy and knowing and caring for nothing else. He has traveled from Alaska to South America “along the mother lode,’”” as he claims. He has been to Africa twice, to Australia and to China and Japan. He tbinks Japan is going to become a great gold producer when American miners get in there. When asked to designate the best gold field in the world he falls into line as an advocate of the mother lode in California above all Gthers. Should this new find develop into a per- manent mine the facilities for working and milling are nearly perfect. The Calveritas Creek %luws through the ranch, with a suf- ficient volume of water at the lowest stage to furnish abundant power. The owners of the mine say it will not be for sale until sufficient development work is done to prove its value. My trips into the hills arouna San Andreas have satisfied me that it has not been prospected with anything like the thoroughness it deserves. This new and important find is but one of many that are certain to follow the general awakening of interest in the mining industry here. A. J. Brooxs. SCORES AT SHELL MOUND.

Yesterday was an ideal day for cycling, away from the City; but out in Golden Gate Park the cold, heavy fog put a dam- per on the sport. Most of the local clubs had runs called to points in the country, and to them the day was particularly en- joyable, as the air was cool and the roads good in all directions. There were three five-mile road races held by City clubs from San Leandro to Haywards in the afternoon. The first-to start were the riders of the Royal Cycling Club. There were nine entrants, with handicaps ranging from nothing to 1 min. 30 sec. G. Frost, with 30 seconds handicap, won the race, and also made best time—13:561{. The order in which the others finished was: A. Pos- ner, 1. Silverstein, J. Frank, H. Sternberg, Mr. Friedman, 1. Cooper and F. Schone. The Verein Eintracht Cycling Club_held their race next. E. Petersen won with a handicap of 1 minute. The fastest time in this race was made by Henry Eben- ritter, who rode from seratch in 13:29. The San Francieco Road Club also held a race, in which there were twenty-four entrants. Charles Goodwin, with thirty seconds’ handicap, won first place, but ow- ing to some miscalculation at the finish the accurate time was not taken. The course was only in fair condition, however, and record-breaking was not expected. Following was the full result: 7 Handl- | I | Net NaME. ap. | Time|Place|.Tret H.L Zimmerly......

George T. Andrews of the Bay City Wheel- Rerformance yes- . Griffiths ana men. They started from here at 6:30 A. . on a tandem and arrived in San Jose, fift; one miles, in 2 hours 58 minutes, being fol- lowed all the distance by T.S. Hall on a single wheel. After a hasty breakfastthey remounted and, in the face of a strong head wind, rode back on the other side of the bay, forty-two miles, in 2 hours 30 minuzes. This is a feat which will hardly be excelled for some time to come, and evidences won- derful endurance on the part of these riders. The Olympic Cyclers had a most en- joyable ride yesterday to the farm of Gil- bert Tompkins, near San Leandro. Forty- five of the faithful assembled at the club for the start, and and as they rode down Post street, with handsome Captain Butz and Lieutenants Cooney and Conway in command, they attracted considerable a- | tention. Arriving at the farm about 11 o’clock they were met by Captain Gill, Secretar: Bosworth, Manager Kennedy and a crows of cross-country runners of the club. Be- fore lunch a few fiames were indulged in. Fred Butz won the 75-yard footrace, Gill second, Hoffmann third. Time, :81{. The 220-yard run was easy for Coffin, who made it in 24 sec. Gill, Patterson, Thomp- son, ‘Moulder and Yates finished in the order named. Coffin also won a half-mile footrace in 2:104-5, the order of the others being Thompson, Yates, Carter, McGinley. Rudolph won the one-mile handicap bi- cycle race from scratch in 3:10 3-5, with Barney a good second and Howard Smith third. Lewiswon a similar race for a half mile, with O'Kane second. Manager Ken- nedy should have won this race, but his starter forgot to let go the wheel when Le shoved him off, with_a consequent mishap to the jolly Kennedy. He tried it again, but could not overcome the lead the others had gained. After the races a fine lunch was enjoyed under the trees, and speeches and songs served to make the time fly. All rode home wiether, and voted it one of the best runs they had ever attended. The times in the running and cycling events would have been better but for the track, the surface of which. was prepared for horses rather than athletes or wheels.

Ho Makes a Bold Proposition and Newspapers Will Inves- tigate. 20,000 VIALS OF MUNYON’S RHEUMATIC CURE 'Will Be Distributed Free From the San Francisco ‘¢ Chronicle’” Office, Be- ginning This Morning 8t 9 0’Clock—The Follow- ing Letter Explains Itself. To the Editors of San Francisco Newspapers: Having discovered a positive and speedy cure for rhenmatism I address you in the hope that vou will give publicity to my claim. Iam well aware that in making the bold assertion that I have discovered & positive cure for rheu- matism there will arise & strong doubtin the minds of the public as to the truth of this statement, and that a large majority of the peovle will class this new discovery with the Koch lymph failure and the Brown-Sequard elixir-of-life delusions. It is to overcome this prejudice that I invoke the aid of the press. I court the fullest inves- .tigation under your direct and personal super= vision. Iwould suggest thatthe fairest and surest way to test- the efficacy of this remedy would be for me to send 20,000 trial bottles to the Chroniele office, there to be given out ‘‘abe solutely free” to all persons afilicted with rheumatism, that the name and address of each person who accepted the remedy be en- tered in a book, and at the end of one week a reporter to be detailed to interview the parties who have taken the medicine, and that the results of each case be published (with special permission) in the San Francisco newspapers. By this means there can be no deception or fraud, and the value of this remedy will stand or fall upon the testimony of those who have tried it. Improbable as this statement may seem to you or to those who have doctored for years with the most skillful physicians without benefit, yet Iaffirm and am prepared to prove by over 200,000 people whom we have cured that this remedy will' cure acute or muscular rheumatism 1n from one to five days. It never fails to cure sharp, shooting pains in the arms, legs, sides, back or breast, or soreness in any part of the body. Itis guaranteed to promptly cure lameness, sciatica, lumbago, stiff and swollen joints, stiff back and all pains in the hips and loins. It seldom fails to give relief after one or two doses, end almost invariably cures before one bottle has been used. We do not claim this remedy will cure ‘theu- matism where the limbs are twisted out of shape, or where the disease is complicated by & serofulous diathesis, but by a careful record we find that this remedy fails to cure in only about 4 per cent of the casesin which it has been tried. One of the strongest recommendations for this remedy is that it is absolutely harmless and that a person can take the whole contents of a bottle without the slightest ill effects. Un- { like the medicines used in crdinary practice for the cure of rheumatism, such as jodide of stomach and kidneys without effecting a cure, this remedy acts as a strong tonic and is in- valuable in building up weak and debilitated people. Believing that there is no cause so holy and inspiring, no voeation so lofty and ennobling, nothing so sure of man’s gratitude and God’s blessing as an honest effort to relieve suffering humanity, I beg to remain yours truly, JAMES M. MUNYON. Free distribution of Munyon’s Rheu- matism Cure commences this morn- ing from the San Francisco Chronicle Office. Let all interested be on hand. (.
