CAPITAL CITY DEMOCRATS ARE PLEASED AT THE EXECUTIVE'S SELECTION. THE FUNERAL OF MILLARD. STaTE OFFICERS AND CIvIC Socl- ETIES TO BE PRESENTAT THE BSEQUIES. SACRAM T. Jeter will Budd as Lieutenant-Governor of the S of California assoon as the comm has been filled out. Although his Excel- lency refuses to make a positive statement that such is his intention, itis common talk throughout the Capitol building and is sufficienily authenticated to admit of no doubt as to the truth of the assertion. The appointment will without doubt meet with the approbation of all Democrats through- 1is heartily indorsed by R. M. Clarken, a leader of the Sacramento Democracy, said: ““I consider the appointment of Willi; T. Jeter as Lieutenant-Governor the piest of Governor Budd's administration. It is a delicate compliment to the Domoc- racy of the State. Jeter was a man who labored hard for t best interests of the varty during the past campaign, and is certainly deserving of the honor to be given him.” When questioned as to whether, in his opinion, there was any chance of dispute arising as to the legality of such an ap- pointment, Mr. Clarkson answered: *‘Not the slightest chance on earth. The constitution makes no special provision, to my knowledge, for the filling of this office in case of a vacancy, and under article 5 of section 8 of the constitution | the Governor is empowered to fill all va- cancies by appointment.” General A. L. Hart when asked for his opinion said: “I know of no proviso of law making any person ex-officio the successor of the Lieutenant-Governor in case of death, resignation or absence from the State. In the absence of such proviso the Governor, acting under article 5 of section 8 of the constitution, has the power to fill vacan- cies by appointment.”’ Attorney E. D. McCabe, Joseph W. Hughes and others concurred in the view. Governor Budd, who will leave to-mor- . row for Los Angeles to attend the funeral of Lieutenant-Governor Millard, has sgnt anumber of consoling telegrams to the family of the deceased, and has issued the following proclamation : arters, State of ('-\Hlomin.i fornia, ) 1895, ) via : Spencer he State of o'elock comes my mourn- the distressing fact to >W-country In memory of the deceased the several State departments in the city of Sacramento are re- quested to be closed at 10 o'clock A.

LUCK OF A PORTLAND WA, Hiram Evington, Whose Family Was Dying From Starvation, Finds Wealth in a Gold Ledge. PORTLAND, Og., Oct. 24.—The downs and ups of life in the case of Hiram Eving- ton in the last few weeks are extraordi- nary. Evington and his family came here from Silver City, Idaho. With continued sickness and inability to find employment they were on the verge of starvation. One of the children died and the father was taken down with la grippe. A few weeks ago Evington, while despondent and in a semi-delirious siate from hunger, tried to end his troubles by jumping into the river. He was almost gone when Frank Hughes, & boatman, pulled him out. An old mining chum persuaded Eving- ton to go on a prospecting tour to Southern | the County Jail. Oregon, where they have just struck it rich. Evington and his partner went to San Francisco and sold their claim for $15,- 000. Evington got his money and ison his way to Portland. When he arrives here he will be further surprised by Dame For- tune’s smiles, for to-day his wife received a telegram from Dubuque, Ia., saying that Evington’s brother had just died, leaving him about $8000 worth of property.

SEE A WESTERY AOAD, EFFORTS OF THE VANDERBILTS TO SECURE A LINE TO THE COAST. RePorRT THAT THEY ARE AFTER THE UNION AND CENTRAL Pa- cIFic CONFIRMED. LOS S, CAL., Oct. 25.—The ru- mors rife at Chicago concerning the con- trol of the Union Pacific and Central Pa- cific railways by the Vanderbilts received unexpected confirmation this morning in a statement made by a gentleman high in the confidence of this syndicate to the effect that for years the Vanderbilts have been looking toward the control of a trans- | continental line, and had within the past | few s determined to push their efforts to a successful conclusion. The informant, whose name for obvious reasons is withheld, not only knows what he is talking about, but bas dispatches in bis possession coufirming these state- ments. Aside from this, however, an incident has occurred within a month which con- firms the report that C. P. Huntington is about to relinquish his contral of the Cen- tral P Lvutlinz from New Ur]r—unsl to Washington, D. C., and Norfolk, Va., is a system of railways known as the Southern Railway Company, and at Huntington’s request a special solicitor has been sent here to gather in traffic for his road. w only coast connection is the Sunset line. The business thus diverted around by New Orleans means the loss of traflic to the Central Pacitic and Union | Pacificlines.

LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 25.—The ex- ecutive board of the Oil Exchange was in session this morning engaged in making specifications for the building of oiltanks.

It is officially stated that the tank | steamer belonging to the exchange will be put into service between the coast point selected for home shipment and San Fran- cisco within four weeks, and after that all | will be plain sailing. 1t is rumored thata sale of o1l amounting to over 2090 barrels | was made to-day at 65 cents. The price will undoubtedly approximate $1 within | the next thirty days. Jonn C. Harvey of the Standard Oil Company this morning denied the report that his’ company intended to commence buying oil next week.

HIS PISTOL MISSED FIRE OVERPOWERED BEFORE HE CouLD CaRRY Out His MURDEROUS INTENTION. REDDING, Caw, Oct. 25.—An attempt at murder was made at Iron Mountain to- day and was only averted by the failure of the would-be assassin’s pistol to work.

The superintendent said he was busy and could not. - Vodel remarked: “Well, you will, any- how.” The superintendent retorted that he would suit himself in the matter. Vodel drew his pistol, thrust the muzzle within a foot of the superintendent’s body and pulled the trigger.

Traf- ton, ex-chief of the Fire Department and 4 prominent citizen of Watsonville.

SANTA MONICA, Carn, Oct. 25.—The story in Thursday’s CArn, which an- nounced that engineers of the Southern Pacific were on the ground locating the roposed extension of the track from Port .0s Angeles to Ventura, created a sensa- tion here.

Lewis retaliated by shooting Ferrell, who afterward was found dead in bed, with a gunshot wound in the abdomen and his throat cut. The evidence in the case was damaging to the defendant, but the piea of seli- defense was set up and a stroug fight | made on this ground. The closing arguments were listened to by hundreds of spectators. The verdict was a complete surprise, the seneral opin- ion being that the jury would find Lewis guilty of murder in the first or second de- gree. Sentence will be img:aed Monday. The trial of Mrs, M. J. Miller for the murder of her husband began in the Superior Court this morning. A jury was not secured to-day, but it is thought it will be con_afleted to-morrow.

MILL VALLEY, CaL., Oct. 25.—A house occupied by Otto Haltzbach, formerly of Sausalito, was burned to the ground last night. The house is a total loss and was not insured. It was owned by August Rousche of San Francisco. The Mill Val- ley voluntary fire company was compelled to drag its hosecart and hose a distance of a mile, and when it reached the burning building it was impossible to save it, so the firemen’s energies were directed toward saving the residence of Charles Meyers, not thirty feet away.

Are the People in the State of Washington Remarkable? There Is One Who Will Tell the Truth Every Time. Is the world full of liars? That seems a curious query, but by “a liar” is not meant here exclusively or even particu- larly a falsifier. A lie has been very properly defined as an attempt to decfi}VE’.’ and those ‘‘who damn with faint praise when the whole truth would serve the case are very evident:y—if this definition be correct—liars. The term is a harsh one to use, doubtless, but there are cases in which it is justifiable. Let us takeas an instance, that of a man who has been ill, and on meeting a triend he is asked what accounts for his improved appearance. He will say, perhaps, that be “never was ill,” et Dr. 5o nd-so_had ited him once or twice.”” Now, if he is recovering from a dangerots iliness that man might in all justice be termed a liar. But speaking of this class of prevaricators is reminiscent of the fact that they do not seem to be plentiful in the State of Wash- ington. Take the instance of George H. Rice, who some few months ago was on the verge of a most serious and vital ner- vous trouble. He lives at Fort Canby, Wash., and when he was fully aware as to how sad a state he was in he applied to that grand medical institute, the Hudson, and being told that bad as his case was it was curable, he placed himself unre- servedly in the hands of ‘the specialists there. Here is what he has to say when asked as to the result of the treatment: FoRrT CANBY, Wash., Aug. 5, 1893. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal.—Gentlemen: Your favorof July 30 is at hand and I thought I had written you long lgt]). dbLu. as I have not done so perhaps this will do. The treatment from the Hudson Medical In- stitute is all that could be expected or desired by any one, as your medicine hasI think es- tablished a perfect cure in my case, and I hope and think it will be permaneént. Iam unable to speak the praise it deserves, but suffice it to that I feel in every respect as » manshould. Very respectfully, GEo. H. RICE. Now there is the manly and straighfor- ward letter that a Washingtonian has writ- ten when he was simply asked as to_what was the result of his going to that Mecca for all the sick—the Hudson Medical In- stitute—and it is worthy of him in_that it speaks the truth out plainly. But Mr. Rice is by no means the only one who speaks ont fearlessly when asked to state what has been done for him. Thousands join him in praising this great institution. K. C. Tait of Stowe, Cal., writes: “I am feel- ing fine, with not a sign of the disease now.” - A. Burton of Grass Valley: “The medicine that I took did me lots of good.” 8. J. Bailey of Weaverville says: “After two months’ treatment with you I feel fully re- stored to health.” Mr. J. T. Ward of Park City, Utah: cured of the terrible disease that I had. Day by day—even hour by hour—these convincing statements come to the man- agers of the Hudson Medical Institute, and they must be taken as proof positive that there is hope for every one till the famous specialists of the Hudson Medical Institute say that YOU HAVE AN IN- CURABLE DISEASE. “Iam All the Pollowing (ases Ave Curable : Catarri of the head, 'h or bladder; all bronchia nervous dis- a ali venereal dfacases; a ulcers: wasies of vital forces: tism; gout: eczema; all skin ¢ ever cause arising: psoriasis: all varicocele; polson oak: 108t or impaired manhoo ble: nervous exhaustion and prost sis: all kiduey d bladder trou patlon; all vi d by the depurating department.
