SANTA CRUZ, Cavn., Oct. 26.—Thomas Edwards applied at Gover & Co.’s lumber- mill, above Felton, for work, several days ago. As the night watchman had just given up his position, Edwards was ap- pointed his successor, and for three days held the place. This morning he was | found hanging in the basement of the | mill. A balerope was tied to the machin- | ery, and as there was not room to stand, { Edwards had sat down and thrown his weight upon the rope. When found it was apparent that he had only been dead a | short time, as his neck was blue from the | rope. His bat was hanging near by and | lantern was at his side, the wick still burning. Edwards was last seen when he got his lunch at midnight from the Chinese cook. He had cleaned the mill, oiled the machin- ery and had all things ready to start up in the morning. Edwards ciaimed to have | worked in Mendocino County before com- z and was very quiet. I was about 35 rs of age.

EVOLUTION: WHAT IT IS. President David Starr Jordan’s Lecture, Last Night, Before the Mechan- ics’ Institute. President Dayid Starr Jordan of Stanford University delivered a lecture on the sub- ject of “Evolution: What It Is and What It is Not,” before the Mechanics’ Institute last night. The eminent speaker began his discourse upon evolution considered as a science. e Nothing endures save the flow of energy and the rational order that pervades it,” says Huxley. Objects scen by a flash of lightning during a storm appear immovabie. So the phases of nature seem unchanged to the casual observer. His view is short. Seasons return because conditions rcturn, but conditions never return in the world of life. Nothing in the universe is due to change or whim. ALl forms of life now existing or that have existed sprang from a few primitive forms, or, more likely, from one. The theory of evolution is a orking hypothesis.” All contrary hy- potheses have long ceased to exist. STOCKWELL DEPARTS. He Is Luckily Enabled to Take His Bag- gage With Him. L. R. Stockwell, the well-known actor, left for the north yesterday by the steamer State of California. He almost lost his baggage, however, just before he started. For some time Stockwell’s creditors have been insistent and importunate. In some way they had learned of the actor’s intention to depart, and prepared to cir- cumvent him. ‘A Deputy Sheriff met the actor on the steamer, and after serving papers on him was about to take his bag- gage when he encountered an obstable, GUNS AND A PATENT | MAKE SENSATIONAL SCENES AT THE PALACE AND IN COURT, EXTRAORDINARY CASE.

The vast amount of construction work done in this period is indicative of the company’s desire to make good its early announced intention of patting the road | through as soon as possible. The coming | of the San Joaquin Valley road to Stock- ton made it imperative upon the Corral | Hollow Company to include this city on its line.

Wt HUDSON'S LECTURE, READ BEFORE THE CHANNING AUXILIARY OF THE UNI- TARIAN CHURCH. AN ABLE DiscussiON OF THE Evo- LUTION OF THE MORAL SANCTION. Professor W. H. Hudson of Stanford University lectured before the Channing Auxiliary of the First Unitarian Church last evening, the subject being “The Evo- lution of the Moral Sanction.” The lecture dealt with nature of the moral sanction, properly so called, and the revolution of this moral sanction out of other sanctions for conduct which have preceded it in a slow develop- ment of the race, and with which it is still frequently confused. “‘Our consideration of these subjects must necessarily be brief and superficial,’ said Professor Hudson, ‘‘since they lead us everywhere to the verge of important two separate | though closely connected questions, the | | on the present method of electric lighting by the well-known alternating current sys- | tem, and millions of dollars are at stake. In the exciting proceedings of the past two days there has developed one of the most remarkable stories of fraudulent conspiracy in which four broth- ers were pitted against one; charges of erjury and subornation of perjury; a ser- lous street fight in front of the Palace Hotel, which was barely prevented from being a fracas with pistol accompaniment; demlTy threats by one brother against another; the disarming of an attorney and his client by Marshal Baldwin in the rooms of Commissioner Heacock, with a subsequent apology by the attorney, and an inamation of hypnotic influence hav- ing been exercised to secure certain testi- mony. The caseis that of Walter K. Freeman vs. the Westinghouse Electric Company of Pittsburg et al., brought in the Federal court at Washington, D.C., in which the | plaintiff seeks to establish his claim to | being the inventor of the alternating cur- | rent for electric lighting. 'Lhe plaintiff ! has already won a number of similar suits, | among the defendants having been Thom- as A. Edison and Karl Zifernowsky, the world-renowned electrician of Austria. | Issue in the pending case was joined in 1888, and for several vears testimony has been gatbered in behalf of Freeman, whose case in chief was closed about two months ago. Just prior to that time, according to | Mr. Freeman’s statement last night, the attorneys for the Westinghouse Electric Company acknowledged virtually that the case as it then stood was impregnable. It then remained for the defendants to put in their testimony. The case being a patent case and before a Federal court the hearing could be heard before any Feaeral tribunal and, as Mr. Freeman phrased it, | the defendants had the venue changed to incendiary.

Loss oF LIFE AND THE DESTRUC- TION OF A MILL CAUSED BY A FIREMAN’S ERROR. FAIRHAVEN, Wasn., Oct. 26.—A ter- rific explosion occurred at the Pacific Coast Milling Company’s lumber mill at 5:10 this morning, killing two men, fatally in- juring another and severely injuring three more, as well as wrecking the mill prop- erty. There were four large boilers in the mill, only one of which was in use at night to run the drier. The fireman has just started to get up steam in the others, and it is supposed either allowed the water to get low and turned cold water into them after they became heated, or turned hot steam into them from the top when they were full of cold water. Whatever the cause two boilers exploded with fearful force, one of them being blown fully 500 feet away, passing through the dryhouse and dropping throvgh the railroad trestle into the water. The boiler-house is a total wreck, the main portion of the miil and ountbuildings are padly shattered and the premises covered with a great mass of debris, There were seven men at work in the mill at the time of the explosion. Of these Armstrong, the fireman, and J. Whitmore, the night watchman, were killed outright. —— il . e € CORRAL HOLLOW BRIDGE ACROSS MORMON CHANNEL,) the ties are in position. The company has | stored on the north bank of Mormon Chan- nel, near Hunter street, an immense quan- | tity of materials for use on the country line, while inside the city limits about two and a half miles of track is already down. None of the rolling stock has arrived, | but the construction gangs with pushcars are pushing the track toward the south, pending the arrival of locomotives and cars. This company has had the advantage of the Valley road people in the matter of grades, as their heaviest grading has been done at this end and no heavy or difficult work will be experienced until the canyon at the other end is reached. That the comvany intendsto haul all kinds of freight to and from the west side is now generally understood, but notwith- standing this it is distinctively a coal road, for it is but a means to an end in the de- G.

Lindley and A. T. Bennett were stunned and bruised, but their injuries are not consid- ered serious. H. Kilgore, the only man who escaped without injury, was in the dryhouse when the flying boiler passed through it. The damage to the mill properly is esti- mated from $3000 to $5000. - ——————— McDonald Case Continued. Richard H. McDonald Jr. has no attorney yet, and yesterday Judge Bahrs continued the case a week by request of Carroll Cook. It is l oner, it probable that Mr. Cook will defend the pru-l velopment of the mountains of wealth which the company owns in the Corral Hollow country. It involves no venture to its projectors, as they already have the freight in the mines to send 100 cars over the line daily for ten years. The people watch its progress with in- terest, as it means cheap fuel and a greater demand for labor. Though a private en- terprise, it still appeals to the public spirit of the peopleof Stockton. The great coal bunkers, upon which work will short- ly be begun, will overshadow any others in the State, and the fact that the com- pany can work fully 1500 men in different departments of its business when the road issues in ethical theory, which ought, strictly speaking, to form a feature of this discussion, but which we must here pass | over without a word. ““In our everyday speech the phraseology of morality is currently employed, when | upon analysis we discover that no judg- ment that we should describe as moral is actually implied. ‘‘Notice for instance the familiar use of such words as ‘ought’ and ‘duty.’ words which taken upon our lips a dozen times daily refer more often than not to a stand- ard of conduct which no one on_reflection would think of connecting Wwith ethical principles. “‘We say that a man ought not to eat peanuts with his knife; that he ought to take off his hat on acknowledging a lady of his acquaintance on the street, but in spite of the language 1n which our opin- ions are expressed, we_know that we have in mind in expressing them, not the moral code of agso;ute right and wrong, but that more or less conventional body of social regulations which are ordinarily termed etiquette, *“We know that there is no line of action recognized by us as vicious, which has not somewhere and at sometime found its olace in the catalogue of virtue, and no ine of action held by us asvirtuous which has not been officially condemned.” Among those at the lecture were: Rabbi Voorsanger, Professor Le Count, Profes- sor Howison, Lieutenant Fletcher, Dr. Stebbins, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Wilson, William Greer Harrison, Mrs. Margarei C. Grabam, Cordelia Kirkland and Mrs. Lowenberg and daughter. PRATT'S Axml.n On _the 00T _man’s N friend and lamuyxgnymi’;'n. has oured thou: sands. Tt will 11 r lameness, aches and patns, cure al YQ“ ety the court farthest removed from the scene of the original proceedings, believing that the plaintiff would by reason of lack of means be unable to make an appearance or be represented by an attorney. Notice of this change was not served on Mr. Free- man until the 17th of October and by mak- ing all haste he was enabled to reach this City, with Attorney J. B, Church of Wash- ington, D. C., his counsel, on the 23d, just twenty-four hours before the matter was to be heard before United States Commis- sioner Heacock. Their appearance on the scene was so great a mr&ns« to the de- fendant’s attorney, H. 8. Mackaye of the well-known New York law firm of Terry, Duncan & Mackaye, and so disconcerted him apparently that a continuance of the case was asked until the 25th, which was granted. Whaen the case was opened on Friday, Wallace E. Freeman was called by de- fendant's attorney as a witness, Counsel for Freeman then made the following sen- sational statement: T desire at this point to enter an objection to the taking of the testimony of the witness, on the ground that he has beeén brought from his home in New York City to this City and pro- cured, by bribery and_under false pretensions and false representations as to his responsibil- ity in the mafter, for the purpose of testifying in this case, and with the understanding that being removed from the jurisdiction in which he gave his former testimony to the present jurisdiction, he would be relieved from liabil- ity under the statute governing the crime of perjury. Counsel for Freeman further stated that a conspiracy was originated and was par- ticipated in by H. 8. Mackaye, alias Wi liam A. Steele, counsel for the Westirg- house Electric Company, and Warren P. Freeman, a brother of the plaintiff, and that both or one of them procured from witness while he was in a state of intoxi- cation an affidavit which has been used to influence the witness in the stbsequent proceedings. Counsel further stated that in pursnance of their conspiracy the said H. S. Mackaye did, in conjunction with Warren P. Free- man, enter into an agreement to procure the assistance of \an%ace E. Freeman and others to enter into an agreement for the formation of a company, for which com- any the said H. 8. Mackaye, alias Wil- iam A. Steele, agreed to furnish a large sum of money, viz. $100,000 in cash, and to pay large sums to witness, it being agreed between the parties that the forma- tion of the company and the payment of the sums of money were but a cloak to cover the payment of moneys for the pur- pose of procuring false testimony from witnesses. Attorney Church continued: Pursuant to said conspiracy the witnesses about to be examined were induced to come from New York to this City under the impres- sion that they were to obtain lucrative em- ployment, and that when thus brought to- gether they were for the first time informed that they must testify in the present proceed- ings according to a prearranged plan, and that neither the plaintiff nor his counsel woula be present. When plaintift arrived at Oakland, Cal., on his way to this City he was met by two of the witnesses cited to appear here, and the nature and extent of the conspiracy and the deception practiced upon the witnesses was then for the first time disclosed and called to the attention of the counsel for Freeman. These witnesses, A. H. and M. L. Free- man, who had formerly testitied in behalf of W. K. Freeman, requested advice from plaintiff’s counsel as to the proper course for them to pursue, but he declined to ad- vise them and referred them to John A. Boone of San Francisco. Wallace E. Freeman was then placed under oath asa witness for the defense. He testified that about the 15th of Septem- ber he met Mr. Mackaye in Long Island City, New York, and that he made a con- tract with the attorneys of the Westing- house Electric Company to proceed to Cali- fornia and for a nominal consideration endeavor to get the witnesses who bad previously testified in benalf of W. K. Free- man to so change their testimony as to aid the Westinghouse Eiectric Company in destroying the value of their testimony. Witness then described how this was done by Mackaye representing himself to be William A. Steele, the wetl-known cap- italist of San Francisco, and agreeing to furnish $100,000 to establish and overate a rubber goods factory in San Francisco and take A.” H. Freeman of Riverside and M, L. Freeman into partnership if they would make affidavits in the case under discus- sion which would benefit the cause of the defendant, The affidavits were duly made, the witness testified, but the discovery as to who Mackaye reahy was was not made until shortly before the hearing in this City was begun. He also testified that ‘Warren P. Freeman was an active worker against the interests of the plaintiff. This ended the testimony for the day, but in the evening another exciting chap- ter was added to this extraordinary case. ‘While Attorney Church, Walter K. Free- man, the plaintiff, and A. H. Fieeman were standing in frontof the Palace Hotel, Warren P. I'reeman came along and A. H. Freeman asked him where his tool, Wal- lace E. ¥reeman, was. This led to criminations and recrimina- tions, and finally Alexander H. Freeman struck Warren P. a beavy blow with his fist. Warren then kicked him in the roin. At this point Walter attempted to rag Alexander away, but seeing Warren reaching for his pistol jumped for him and prevented him from using it. Warren, however, threatened to kill Alexander be- fore the latter left California. Alexander was 50 badly injured that he is unable to be about. When the case was called yesterday morning Attorney Church stated tnat he had reason to believe that both Attorney Mackaye and Warren P. Freeman had come armed into court with intent to com- mit assault on W. K. Freeman and his at- torney. Both men were found to be armed and, though Mackaye afterward apologized, the matter is not yet ended, as it will be referred to United States Circuit Judge McKenna. In the course of his testimony yesterday Wallace E. Freeman said that he had no ill feeling toward his brother Walter, but was afraid to associate with him, as he exerted a hypnotic influence over him. PROFESSOR MUNYON HERE. He Will Study Climatic Influences Upon Individuals. Professor Munyon, the head of the mod- ern school of medicine, has arrived at the Palace Hotel. In reply to several ques- tions the professor stated that the main object he had in visiting this beautiful State was by experience to watch the climatic influences, so that in the event of any parties writing him their version of the ailments they suffered from he could be in a position to give them the proper advice. In regard to the Republican convention the professor said that the feeling in the East was in favor of San Francisco, and he thought it highly probable that the con- vention would be held here. The professor expressed great admira- tion for the coast, and said that every one here appeared to vie with each other in hospitality, and he had no doubt in_ his mind but that California had a glorious future before her. The climate was salu- brious, the population thriving and the resources incalculable. Professor Munyon is highly pleased with the success he has met here, and is loud in his praises of the go-ahead qualities of the San Franciscans. e Hallowe’en Ball.

WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTING AGENTS FOR 2 THE COAST. REDINGTON & CO. NOT FOR SALE. A Panoche Gentleman Has Secured Something Whieh He Wants to Hold. Is in No Humor to Take as Much as $500 for Something that Is at Times Negiected. In the San Benito Valley there is a most picturesque little place, which is cele- brated for the excellence of its crops, and | the sturdy character of its native sons. One of the good families of the place is that of the Ashursts, the boys being well known for their straightforwardness and manly bearing. Indeed, in that region there is no one more respected. Some little while ago, however, one of them (Robert) began to uf»preqi:nc that all was not well with him. He did not pay much attention to the growing weakness that he felt, thinking that it wasonly a pussing ailment. But here was where he made a serious blunder, As hisdisease progressed he began to realize that he was indeed ill, He tried all that he could do to shake off the attack, using all the remedies that he knew of for that purpose, but still it kept getting more and more firmly implanted in his system. Almost on the verge of giving up, he wrote to the Hudson Medical Institute—that great institution for the cure of the sick—and he atonce got a letter telling him that he need notdespair. And now, after having heen under the skill of the specialists there for a couple of weeks— just fancy it, only a fortnight—he has been done so much good that he frankly says that he would not be where he was just those few days ago for five hundred dollars. Here is a letter that he has seen fit o write to the management of the great institute: PANOCHE, Cal., August 13, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal.—Gentlemen: I reply in pursuance to your requests. 1 have been taking your medi- cines for about two weeks and am greatly leased with the results. Am no longer trou- led with headache, backache or aeep pains. My eyesight is very much better, blood does not rush to my head as it used to and as a con- sequence my intellect is brighter and brain clearer. Have gained six pounds since com- mencing treatment. My bowels do mot yet move as regularly as théy should, but I take a tablet every night, and that may be all right in time. Irealize that it takes ttme to effect & cure. Honestly, gentlemen, I would not take $500 to relapse inio the state I was in before I applied to you. Iremain yours respectfully, KOBERT ASHURST JR. Now, that is the letter of a highly re- spected and intelligent young man, and it shows most conclusively how remarkably efficient and rapid in its work the treat- ment of the specialists of the “gr all curative establishments on th tinent” is.
