4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1895. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Colonel Trumbo Sounds a Warning to Goldbug | Senators. REPLIES TO SHERMAN.| Silver Men Will Retaliate if Ignored in the Coming Congress. MAY VOTE WITH DEMOCRATS. | The Attempt to Ostracise a Minority of the Party Bitterly Rebuked. | SALT LAKE, Uran, Nov. 9.—The state- ment appearing in the press dispatches | that Eastern Republicans, prominent | among whom is John Sherman, have de- | clared that the United States Senate would | not be reorganized in 1896, whether or not | Utah’s Senators take their seats this win- | ter, in order to avoid a possible compro- | mise with the silver men, aroused the ire | of Western Repnblicans. Colonel Isaac Trumbo, the Western silver champion, and who will liki be one of the new Sen- ators from Utah, said toa United Press | reporter that the declarations served to | forewarn and forearm the adherents of the silver cause, and while Sherman and his | 5 | co-workers migit prevent a reorganization | this winter there would come a season of | retribution in 1897 when silver advocates might unite with the Democrats and re- | tain Democrats as chairmen of the dilfer- ent committe “It is impo! ic and unjust,” he said, | ction of the party to bulidozean | nt minority and flaunt their prowess of the champions of the cause | n because they differ on the | money questio: The sitver question bears the same relation to the East that the | tariff does to the West. The West never | v needed protection, for we are not man cturers; but for the benefit of the | whole conntry the W estern voter has pre- | sented an unbroken front for thirty years | in behalf of Republi ism. The East is not directly interested in silver; but forthe | advancement of the entire country her | people should be even firmer advocates | than the West. “*That is the view taken by ussilver men, and when we are to be ostracised from the | party because of our beliefs and convictions | the degree of ungratefulness exhibited is | equaled only Sherman’s heartless | criticism of our amartyred President, James i A. Garfield. Let the Republicans of the | East beware. We will s t to a fair| presentation of our case b the voters | of the United States and be reconciled to their decision, but our influence can never | be stifled by political legerdemain nor gold- bug intrigue. Many more such declara- tions will leave Western Republicans with- | out hope and drive them from the party. | “I would also peint to the fact that such a result would likely throw the election | next year into Congr nd if such should | occur it would be impossible to elect a Re- | publican Pr it on a gold platform, | each State 1g but one vote, thus| giving thirteen out of the forty-tive \‘Otlw'! to the silver States.” | | sl NATIONAL BEATEN ON ISSUES.

The question of church and state did | not cut as much figure in the election as it | was at first expected. Now that the elec- | tion is over, there is no evidence of church influence having been used, and the Demo- crats concede that they were fairly beaten | on National issues. About 7000 votes were cast against state- hood, two-thirds of which were polled in | the Gentile counties of Salt Lake and Weber, which leaves a majority of 25000 in favor of the adoption of the constitu- tion. The people will now turn their attention to assist in securing the National Republi- can Convention for San Francisco, believ- ing that the holding of the convention there would not only benefit California, but also Utah, by advertising its many resources to the great numberof Easterners who would come West to attend the con- vention. e, WEDDING AT VACAVILLE.

PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 9.—Walter Jan- ney, who was sent up to-day for six vears for burglary, is the last of a gang of house- robbers which was captured some time ago after a series of systematic house- ! breakings extending from Roseburg to Portland. Henry Jones, another member, was recently sentenced to eight years from Salem. The gang, which consisted of three men and two women, got away with thousands of doliars’ worth of property which could never be recovered. Charles King, a pro- fessional thue and highwayman — the worst of the lot—confessed to all of the thieves’ doings, and was permitted to es- cape punishment. 'P?u- women had_the I!l)mpen_\' and when idence of Rev. Rolund D. Grant in was plundered of a lot of valnable jew v and diamonds the thieves, unable to dispose of it, melted the articles in a crucible. Janney made a strong plea for mercy and pleaded guilty. The young man is highly educated and well connected inthe East, but bis down- | fall was caused by bad associations within a few months after coming here. The women who belonged to the organization are in prison. GAME FOR SANTA CLARA Warden Mackenzie Receives Six Pairs of Pheasants From Victoria. They Will Be Distributed . Over the County and Protected for Three Years. .—Game Warden J. D. Mackenzie yesterday received the first instailment of six pairs of English pheasants from Vietoria, B. C. The plum- ageof the male is much more brilliant thon that of the Mongolian pheasant, and the birds are larger and much easier to domesticate. These birds are to be placed in different partsjof the county, and the young will be freed as soon as they are able to care for themselves, As the pheasants are very prolific it is expected that the birds will be very numerous at the end of the period of protection from hunters, which is three years. More of these pheasants are expected . Game Warden Mackenzie has ributed in various parts of the county fifty pairs of Mongolian pheasants, and will soon receive twenty-five pairs of Golden and ten pairs of Silver pheasants.

PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Puerile Detective Work of a San Bernardino Officer. REBUKED BY A JUDGE. Armed Two Youths for a Hold-Up and Then Captured Them in the Act. HIS PRISONER ACQUITTED. The Jury Instructed by the Court to Return a Verdict of Not Guilty. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Nov. 9.— Charles White, an 18-year-old boy who has been on trial in the Superior Court for assault to commit robbery, was acquit- ted ro-day. The case merits notice from its pe- culiarity. White became acquainted with John Stencel, a colored bootblack of this city, and the two proposed to conduct a hold-up. White said it could not be done, as they were without weapons, and Stencel kindly volunteered to procure a revolver, which he did through the assistance of John King, a special officer of the South- ern California Railway. King decided that discretion was the better part of valor, so he loaded an old-time pistol with sand instead of powder and loaned it to Stencel, who gave it to White. That night White and Stencel held up a country store at Idlewild, three miles from this city. Stencel remained outside, while White went in and ordered the store- keeper to throw up his hands. Instantly Officer King and the constable arose from Dehind the counters and cov- ered the youth with shotguns which were not loaded with sand. Their bravery won and the boy surrendered. The officers, after placing heavy manacles upon him for security, succeeded in bringing him to this ci ty, where he was lodged in the had been told of the entire plan when the revolver was borrowed, and consequently, although an officer of the law, had fur- nished White the means to commit the crime for the purpose of capturing him in the act. Judge Campbell, in charging the jury, instructed it to acquit the prisoner, which was done with but little ceremony. The methods of the ofiicer received a stinging rebuke. PROGRESSIVE SANTA ROSA, Big Force of Men Employed on the Water Works With Good Results. New Christian Church, Railroad Depot and Other Valuable Im- provements. SANTA ROSA, Carn., Nov. 9.—Work on the new water system is progressing steadily. An aggregate of fifty-four miles of pipe will be laid on the main thorough- fares, besides a large quantity of short lengths for connecting purposes. The number of men employed has been increased daily, until there are now about 250 engaged in digging ditches. A large force is preparing the site for the new reservoir, and many are at work where the new pumping plant is being located. The distribution system has been arranged so that the water will flow in a circuit from one loop to another, there being only a few head-ends to the piping. This will insure the best results. The work in progress at the dam on the creek at the site selected for the power- house presents a lively scene. The dam has been completed. A four-horsepower asoline engine has been rigged up in the ed of the stream and has been pumping steadily day and night for the past week at the rate of 200,000 gal- lons & day without any perceptible de- crease in the supply of water, demonstrat- ing the efficiency of the dam and indicatin; that the quantity of water to be obtaine from the creek will alone be sufficient to supply the city, provided it shall not un- expectedly diminish. he reservoir is to be 120 by 120 feet, and will beof a great depth. The water will be brought to the city from the source of i supply ina12-inch main. The pipes be- ing used are larger than those first con- templated. Fiity new fire hydrants will be added to those now in use, insuring ample protec- tion from fires. Another great improvement is being made on the principal streets. Bitumen is being laid down and numerous street alterations made. The new Christian church building is fast nearing completion. When completed it will be one of the finest edifices the de- nomination possesses in the State. The congregation intends opening the building free of debt and is making strenuous ef- forts to noeomlplxsh its purpose. The new railroad depot is nearing com- pletion, and when done it will be an orna- ment to the city. Theremoval of the old unsightly buildings in that neighborhood will give space for the ornamentation of the depot grounds. ——— MUSICAL SANTA ROSA.

Richard Dorsey, Superintendent of the Mary- land Mine, Is Fatally Injured by a Cave-In, GRASS VALLEY, Car, Nov. 9.—Rich- ard Dorsey, superintendent of the Mary- land mine at Grass Valley, while examin- ing some old working on the 1600 level about 10 o’clock this morning, was caved on and so badly injured that he died a few hours afterward. When taken from the mine it was not supposed that he was dangeronsly hurt, but he soon began sinking and it was found that he had been fatally injured in- ternally, a heavy body of rock striking him on the breast. Mr. Dorsey was 30 years of age. He was very generally liked in the community. His father is one of the principal stock- holders in the Maryland and was at home when the sad accidént occurred, Some of the ground in the Maryland is very treacherous and many fatal accidents have occurred in the old Idaho ground, through which it is being worked. e T4C0M AT1O0N. 4 City Official Impeached by the Common Couneil TACOMA, Wasw., Nov.9.—M.

WATER FOR HEALDSBUR Steps Taken Toward Municipal Ownership and Increased Supply. Proposition to Disincorporate the Town and Reincorporate a Larger Area. HEALDSBURG, Car., Nov. 9.—A long step toward securing municipal ownership of the water works in this city was taken at a meeting held by the Board of Trade last night. For many years the inadequate water supply of Healdsburg has been a subject of much concern, but it has remained for the Board of Trade to take steps toward securing the desired supply. Under the charter which Healdsburg is governed by the municipality cannot as- sume any bonded indebtedness while any indebtedness is held against it, and so the town is tied up at present, for a bond of $1000 yet remains to be paid. This bond, with eleven others, was put upon the town for the erection of a city hall, and will not be due until next October. So anxious are the people for a better water supply that it is now proposed to pay the remaining bond off by subscrip- tion, and at the meeting last night liberal citizens subscribed several hundred dollars for this purpose. The city election will be held next April, and if the bond be paid at that time Healdsburg will be disincorporated and then reincorporated so as to take in a larger area. Thetown limits are too small at present, and by enlarging them the population will be increased sufficiently to secure a new charter. The proposition to bond the town fora sum sufficient to put in waterand sewerage systems will then become feasible. e Samples of Onyzx. HEALDSBURG, Can, Nov. 9. — The samples of onyx taken from the recently located ledge near this city are on display, and are adneired by all who see them. Three tons of the rock have been shipped to parties in different parts of the country who desired samples. The work of build- ing a road to the mine is going rapidly on. e o WATER FOR SANTA BARBARA. Flowing Stream Secured by Tunneling Into the Mountain. SANTA BARBARA, Can, Nov. 9.— There is every prospect that the problem of securing a water supply for Santa Bar- bara will soon be solved. James Barker, a practical engineer and the owner of large quantities of unirrigated real esiate in the suburbs, went to work some time ago to find water in Cold Creek Canyon, leading into the heart of the Santa Ynez range, back of Montecito. Barker is driving a tunnel which is now some 600 feet into the heart of the mountains, and he has found what he did not expect to find so soon—a flowing stream, or aggregation of streams, amounting to some six miner’s inches, bur a little less than the flowing in the pipes of the water company during the dry season. Another unexpected discovery has been made on W. H. Crocker’s lemon ranch in Montecito, a series of shallow wells hav- ing developed what appears to be an im- portant underground stream, flowing straight down from the mountains and carrying some eighteen inches of water in the dry season. From this stream 250,000 gallons are being raised daily for irriga- tion purposes alone. Should this prove, as now appears probable, a genuine and inexhaustible flow and not_the tapping of an underground reservoir, it is situa at such an altitude above Santa Barbara and 50 near the surface of the ground that it would be guite feasible to siphon the sur- plus supply down to the city. The City Council a couple of months ago appointed a special committee to take steps toward providing an increased water supg\ly and experimental wells are being sunk west of town, but so far without en- couraging results. Ifnone of the under- takings now under way realize the expec- tations of the promotors the Council pro- poses to tnnneg into the mountains after the water that must exist in vast quanti- ties somewhere in that monstrous res- ervoir, —— GENERAL LAST'S STAFF.

Baggett's Charges Declared to Have Been Lacking in Foundation. GOLD FROM THE OEST MINE. Where the Bullion Alleged to Have Been Stolen Was Pur. chased. CARSON, NEv., Nov. 9.—The Evening News to-day published an article concern- ing an interview with W. T. Baggett re- garding the Hale & Norcross case as fol- lows: “The charges are not generally believed in this city. We will here consider the strongest pomnt that Baggett claims to have made against the defendants, and we quote his own words in San Francisco papers: ‘Baggett asked him (W. S. James) while testifying in Virginia if on a certain day he had not bought for himself $23,000 worth of bullion. To the surprise of W. S. Woods and W. F. Deal, attorneys for Al- vinza Hayward, James not only admitted the purchase, but showed the entry in his books.” ¥ “Twenty-three thousand dollars is about one-eighth of what Mr. Baggett claims to have lost to the company. Now let us see about the surprise Deal and Woods ex- perienced. Deal himself asked the ques- tion if Mr. James had not bought at one time $23,000 worth of bullion from a single person. Mr, James answered that he had, and that from that same person in a short time he had bought $34,000 worth. Mr. Baggett cross-examined James on that purchase, and James showed his books and showed that he had purchased it from Fred Bierke of the Oest mine. The in- formation fell as flat on Baggett's ears as it possibly could. There was nothing secret about it. . Hale & Norcross had no interest in that bullion, and never could have any. It came from the Oest mine, and belonged to the Oest Mining Com- pany. “When Fred Bierke broughtthe big shin- ing bar to Virginia City he placed it on the end of the Arcade saloon bar, and it was on exhibition for a week and Mr. Bierke set up $200 or $300 worth of champagne for the ‘boys’ over it and newspaper men de- scribed it over and over again, and every man, woman and child in Virginia City be- came as familiar with that bar of bullion as Mr. Bierke. Bierke sold it to W. 8. James, where he sells all his bullion, almost, and James sent it to the mint, and it was deposited in the name of C. H. Peters, or some other employe of the Bul- lion and Exchange Bank, and the mint paid the money to such employe and the person so employed deposited the money in the Bullion and Exchange bank for W. C. James and W.S. James drew it out by checks whenever he needed the money, authorizing either Mr. Hofer, cashier of the bank, or Evan Williams, his brother- in-law and friend, to draw a check for a certain amount for him. Mr. Williams, in going to Virginia City, was often in- structed by Mr. James to take up a sack of money, as he was engaged in the business of buying buflion and would often need it. “Tnen Mr. Baggett, while inspecting Wells, Fargo & Co.’s bnllion shipments, lands on this bar of bullion and accuses Mr. James and Mr. Williams of having stolen it from the Hale and Norcross Min- ing Company, although the Oest bullion is nearly all gold, while the Hale & Norcross bullion is nearly all silver.” LV M 8 S DGO Adoption of a Water Works Proposition Adds to the General Advancement. Local and Outside Capitalists Putting Their Money Into Big Improvements. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Nov. 9.—This city has enjoyed remarkable growth in build- ing during the entire year, but in the last montn, since the City Council adopted a proposition for the acquisition of an ade- quate city water supply, business of all kinds has picked up with astonishing ra- pidity, and the prospects of city and county were never brighter. The Council is now at work on a con- tract for putting in a new system of water works to cost $1,500,000, which will soon give employment to hundreds of men. More than 100 men are at work at lower Otay dam, which will be completed as soon as possible. Surveyors entered the field this week to find a route for extending the Cuyamaca Railroad into the Santa Maria Valley, opening up & fruitful country. The city is gndinghmure streets and lay- ing more sidewalks than ever in its history, and is about to pave the entire length of two important streets. The increased activity in building is shown in a number of importations, which hnuve caused ttl;e -dditioln of half a dozen schooners to those regularly carrying lum- ber to this port, o g George W. Marston, the well-known merchant, has awarded a contract to Reid Bros. of San Francisco to draw plans for a fine four-story brick and stone block, to be occupied exclusively by his stores. The second la: business block built by U. 8. Grant is about completed, and ar- rangements are being made to make a five- story addition to the Horton House, owned by Mr. Grant. Several important sales of mines in Ban- ner district bave been made within the week. Work has been begun on a tele- phone line from this city into the back country as far as Julian and Banner. Among the prominent investors in San Diego County lately are: H. W. Putnam, the New York millionaire; H. S. Stratton, the Colorado bonanza king; James G. Hinkel and partners of St. Paul Louis, who are erecting the ln§u¢ ery in Southern California; J. E. Atwood, the famous inyventor and manufacturer of Connecticut, and others. e Murdeyers Convictéd at Seattle.

Michael McCann, the father of the con- demned men, was aiso on trial for his life at the same time, but the jury in his case brought in_a verdict of acguittal. All were Lake Washington farmers, and the tragedy grew out of a family feud. el h oo POMONA TO ISSUE BINDS. A Fire on the Eve of Election Aids the Promoters of City Ownership of Water. POMONA, CaL., Nov. 9.—By a majority of forty-nine over the necessary two-thirds’ vote the citizens of Pomona decided to-day to issue bonds to the amount of $195,000 for the purchase of a water sup- ply for the city and toputin a complete system of pipe lines adequate for domestie and fire-fighting purposes. It was the most exciting election ever held in this city. Carriages were going all day, bringing men in from outlying parts of the city to vote. ‘When the votes were counted this even- ing and it was announced a majority over the necessary two-thirds favored the bond issne cannons were fired, horns blown, red lights burned and a band paraded the streets and serenaded the newspapers which had made a successful fight for city ownership of water. . R Pomona secures by this election one of the very best water plants in Southern California—a tunnel four and a balf miles northeast of the city near the mountains, from which is flowing to-day 150 inches of water, and, expert enginéers say, double that quantity can easily be developed. The promoters of the bond issue were aided by a fire occurring last night. A blaze started in the opera-house. having caught, it is believed, from pyrotechnics used by a theatrical company during the evening. g All efforts to subdue the fire were in vain, and by daylight the opera-house, a livery-stable on the west and a feedstore on the north side were in ashes. The loss was $10,500, including all the costumes of the Shaw Theatrical Company. Fortu- nately there was no wind, or a large sec- tion of the business part of town would have been burned. The lack of a sufficient flow of water was apparent to all, and un- doubtedly made votes for the bonds. MILL VALLEY ADVENTURE A Traveler Attacked by a Fierce Mountain Lion Near the Town. Escaped From the Beast Through the Fleetness of His Frightened Horse. MILL VALLEY, CaL, Nov. 9.—A. Silver, a local dealer in fruits and vege- tables, had an experience with a huge mountain lion on the Blitheaale road last night that heis not likely to forget. The beast, evidently made desperate by hunger, sprang at Silver’s horse, but the frightened equine made a runaway race of it and brought its driver safely to this city. For some time past chicken-owners in the vicinity of Corte Madera and Blithe- dale have been complaining of midnight depredations upon their roosts, but have been unsable to catch the thief. They had no idea that the prowler was other thana biped, until Silver came to town late last night, and, breathless with excitement, related his narrow escape from death. He had been driving along the road about dusk, when the lion sprang from the thick brush lining the road and made a lange toward his horse. Silver had no means of defense, but his frightened horse needed no command to start. It fairly flew over the dangerous road toward Mill Vailey, where Silver arrived in an excited state, his horse covered with- foam from the ter- rible race. Silver describes the animal as about the size of a large Newfoundland dog and weighing several hundred pounds. From the slight glimpse he obtained of it, it ap- peared to be of a brownish color.
