Every seat in Pioneer Hali was occupied last night either by members of the Junta’s newly appointed general commif tee of 450, or by prominent Democrats in sympathy with that faction of the party. Before caling the meeting finally to order Chairman W. P. Sullivan asked those who were not members to take seats in the rear or in the gallery. He then rapped for order and briefly explained tl;_e situation from his point of view. He said: ‘‘A portion of the business of the last Democratic municipal convention was the adoption of a resolution authorizing Mr. Dueprey to appoint a committee of twenty- five to” orgamize the Domocratic party. This committee met some time ago and decided upon adding an additional twenty- five members to their number as an ad- visory committee. As the result of the labors of this joint committee, this com: mittee of 450 now present has been deemed the proper agent through which to or- ganize the Democratic party. . “‘As chairman of the committee of fifty I issued the call for this meeting and now call this meeting to order. The first busi- ness will be the call of the roll.”” J. F. McGovern, secretary of the com- mittee of fifty, acting as temporary secre- tary of the meeting, called the roli. When the name of Ed Lanigan was called it was greeted with applause. At the conclusion of the rollcall, which showed 302 members present, Chairman Sullizan announced that nominations for permanent chairman were in order. M. C. Hassett nominated W.W. Wat- kins, ex-chairman of the general commit- tee of 450, which this one succeeded. Mr. Watkins ascended the platform and to the surprise and disappointment of nearly every member declined the honor in she following words: 1t is the duty of every good Democrat when cailed upon to perform’ his duty to respond to the call. Ifeelit is my duty to accept_this nomiration as permanent cheirman, and I feel very proud that the nomination.has been ten- But the duties are such that I can- of dered me. not perform them and attend to the dutie business. Iteill therefore be utterly i ible for me to accept the honor.

He is & gentleman known for his excellent gualifications as & presiding officer. 1 name Colonel W. P. Sullivan. On motion nominations were closed and the ballot for chairman was cast by Secre- fcGovern. Chairman Sullivan then spoke as follows When I came to the meeting to-nightI had hoped that we would have placed at the head of this_committee Mr. Watkins. Inow repeat | what Isaid at the opening of this meeting. This_committee is the only legal and organ- ized body authorized to represent the Dem crats of this City.

Wanzer for vice-president, who was elected by the secrelar{wns(ing the ballot for him. He accepted in a brief speech, taking the op- portunity to extol the virtues which he saw in the Democratic party. J. F. McGovern was elected secretary and L. Gutte treasurer, The question of rulesand by-laws was raised, when the chairman announced that the rules and by-laws of the now de- funct committee of 450 governed. edly considered the coup d’etat of the pro- ceedings. It was the introduction by Gavin McNab of a resolution which wa unanimously adopted. It reads as follows Resolved, That §t is the sense of this commi tee that a primary election should be heid for the purpose of selecting & new general com- mittee to succeed their committee as £oon as the party can be sufficiently organized to bring the Democatic voters to the polls. Beitfurther Resolved, That we request the gentlemen com- posing the present Election Commission of the City and County of San_Francisco to appoint all the election officers for the primary. further Resolved, That for the purpose of conducting such primary and gove: e ments other than the sel cers, ard for the purpose of properly organizin the party, a committee of twenty-five shall appointed by the chairman, one from ev Assembly District and seven at large, including the chairman of this committee.

There are some things that make me laugh among the re- formers. I was the first man in this City to lift up a voice against the corrupt methods of Buckley, and a certain element attempted to break up the meeting by turning out the gas and filling the hall with heelers and thugs. Those men, mark you, at least some of them, are now break- ing their necks to lead the Junta to the pure &nd alabaster political boly iand.

I perhaps ought to say that Buckley is a little the best of the three. He is known to deal in the honor of men and makes no particular bones about it. Daggett and Rainey lift up their hands and how! for reform, pre- tend to be the immaculate leaders who will conduct the impure out of the wilder- ness into the broad and open and wash them of all sin.

Inspecfor Dockery Surprises Several Milkmen in the Early Morning Hours. Milk Inspector Dockery intended taking a rest for the remainder of the week after his exciting experiences Monday night and Tuesday morning, but custom proved too strong for him and he started out at 2 o'clock yesterday morning on another raid, taking in as much of the City as he could cover. About 4 o’clock he met the first load of ulterated milk. He was driving up hteenth street when he met G. Svens- son, a dairyman, with his wagon-load of milk. Itdid not come up to the standard and it was dumped into the sewers, seventy- two gallons in all. In the coffee-saloon, 242 Fiith street, he found twelve gallons of the adulterated article and it found its way into the sew- ers. While there, Joseph Kennell, a dairy- man, drove up with his load and twenty- one gallons went the way of the others. On Market street, in front of the Palace Hotel, he seized fifteen gallons belongin, to Lombardi Brothers, milkmen, an spilled it out on the street. Between Third and Fourth streets he met a_wagon belonging to Casper Furrer of the Nevada dairy. The milk was tested and found THE DRAMA AT SAUSALITO New and Clever Version of the “Arabian Nights” to Be Given. THE SCENES AND PERFORMERS, | Second Part of the Entertainment Will Introduce Several Talented Musicians. The Sausalito Dramatic Company, who will play “The Arabian Nights'’ on Satur- day evening for the benefit of St. Mary’s | Catholic Churck, have had their final | rehearsal under the management of Mrs. J. | W. Harrison and Dan 0'Connell, and are now ready for business. The stage of Sausalito’s hall b+ had a new set of scenery for the per. .uunce, and -for the first time in its history will ascend to the dignity of footlights. It is perhaps a trifle small for such an ambitious effort as this amusing farce-comedy, and the entrances and exits may not be as impressive as if H. Hanson, John Connor, 8imon H. Dike- man, Now the trial must surely go on and the evidence be taken, it was thought. But the reckoning was without the fertile re- sources of Attorney Campbell. He still had a preliminary motion to make—two of them, in truth. So the jury was excused at noon till 3 o'clock in the afternoon. And at 3 o'clock Mr. Campbell was still talking, so the {nry was excused again till this morning. What will happen then re- mains to be seen, it beinig a dangerous thing to risk a prediction without the con- fidence of Attorney Campbell. The pro- gramme is, however, for Judge Morrow to give his decision on yesterday afternoon’s motions, and then for the trial to proceed. The motions were that the Government be compelled to elect on which of the fif- teen counts of the indictment they shall roceed to trial. The first motion asked or an election between the counts that charge Howell with lna.v'l}r,l{1 counterfeit coins in his possession. “There are but two receipts for packages of counterfeit coins claimed,” said Mr. Campbell, “‘and FHREE “On the contrary, there are four receipts in the proof,’” said Assistant United States Attorney Knight. *The first, second and third receipts are for one and the same vackage of coins—one_given for the dollar, counterfeits, one for the half-dollar coun- terfeits and one for the guarter-dollar counterfeits—all received in May, 1892.” Mr. Campbell accepted this view of the case, but nevertheless argued that in mak- ing three counts out of this one accusation it was carving three offenses out of one, and might possibly result in the prisoner being punished three times for one crime. If this &ractioe were to hold, he said, there might be a count made for every coin and MIS3 Mamis COB3 THE BRIGHT YOUNG PLAYERS WHO WILL M8y 4 KATIE £ GORM.

HAZARDS BY HORSEBACK A Ride of igoo Miles From Col- orado via Jackson’s Hole to the California Frontier. Evaded the Indians and Shot Wild Game—Discovery of a Phenom- enal Valley. Probably the longesi and roughest horse- back ride that has been made in the wild- est portions of the West for many years, if indeed it has been equaled since the days of Bonneville and Fremont, has just been completed by F. G. Wilson and W. J. Huntington, now at the Russ House. The young men are minersof Tetluride, Colo. Late in June last they left via the White and Green nivers for the famous region known as Jackson’s Hole, bordering the Yeilowstone Park. Thence they went to Bannock and Satch, in Idaho, and finally ended their weary ride at Baker City, Or., where they took the cars bound to this City. The entire distance made on horseback was something over 1900 miles, and they were a few days over four months | in doing it. The miners are as bronzed as Indians by their long outing. Surrounded by their camp equipage last night they told an in- teresting story of their experiences. “We were in Jackson’s Hole at the time of the Indian troubles,” said Mr. Hunting- ton, but luckily were not interfered with by Indians. We made the long triplargely for pleasure and what information we could pick up. “Qur camp was pitched every night in | the open air and_ several times on the | snow. Only once did we put up our twelve- oot tent,and that was because of threaten- ing rain. “On our trip we killed such game and wild fowl as we needed for subsistence. There was plenty of both and we lived well. Out in the wilds of Northern Wyom- | ing we crossed a number of tine vaileys, good for both grazing and agriculture, but eing hundreds of miles from the nearest railroad, they have remained unsettled. “There is a valley over fifty miles in ex- tent on the Green River in Wyoming, that is one of the most beautiful to be imagined. The land is exceedingly fertile and the grass thick and fine. “It is a paradise for. stockmen, yet no- body livesinit. It is just as it was 100 years ago, at least, so far as the eye of an observer can see. The war between the sheepmen and the cattlemen on parts of the &yoming frontier we found was car- ried on with its olu-time viger. They hate each other, and I suppose will for a long time to come. “Our horses stood the long trip well. We carried everything we needed to eat, except meats of different kinds which we secured by aid of our rifles, and_we never had better health in our lives. It is worth a great deal to have made such a trip, and I would not have missed it. “Had we not been accustomed to rough life in the mines I suppose we would have been alarmed at the Indians, the talk about outlaws and ferocious bears and other wild animals, but as it was we sim- ply attended to our business and thus got along all right.” : The young men are bound for Cripple Creek to develop mining property. They will leave in a few days. Two Felony Charges. Harry Stuart, a waiter, was arrested last night by Officers McMurray and Holbrook of the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren on & oharge of perjury and keeping his wife in a disreputable house in Quincy street. His wife was also arrested and booked for some public institution. The couple was mar- ried on August 19 last by Justice Karrigan. He gave his age as 21 and hers as 18. She is only 17 years of age. The “Gastrology” of Archestratus was the standard Greek cookbook. i the stage were larger, but the players will make the most of it. | The plot is an ingenious on Hummingtop (Herbert Martin), the spirit of the Arabian Nights, disguises himself as Haroun Al Raschid and sallies forth in quest of adventure.. He meets a fascinating young lady, Rosa Columbia (Gypsy 0’Conrell), who has lost her baby, and carefully wraps her neck in his ker- chief, on which his careful but domineer- ing mother-in-law, Mrs. Giilibrand (Miss Kittie Gorman), has worked his name. Rosa, who is the gutta percha girl at a cir- cus, visits Hummingtop’s home and is dis- covered by his mother-in-law. To get out | of the scrape Hummingtop introduces her | as his niece, who 13 expected from Amer- | ica. The real niece, Miss Maitland (Miss | Mamie Cobb), arrives, and also Ralph | Omerod (Robert Harrison), an old friend | of Hummingtop. To further involve the i wretched man his wife, Mrs. Hummingtop | (Miss Kivtie Hannon). puts in an appear- | ance, as well as Joshua (Denis Sheerin), | who has fallen in love with the gutta percha girl. The minor business is carried by Barbara (Miss Bertba Wassar) and Robson. Hummingtop is driven to his wits’ ends by this series of complications and en- deavors to lie out of his affair with the gutta percha girl, who audaciously persists | in cornering him. He is persecuted by his | mother-in-law, offends Omerod, his friend; | but all these complicatiens are brought to | a harmonious termination by the marriage | of Joshua with Rosa Columbia and the | restoration of Mrs. Hummingtop’s confi- dence in her husband. The first part of the entertainment will be musical, Louis Harrison, Mrs. L T. Bruce, Miss Maroney and other talented amateurs appearing in vocal and instru- mental selections. A large number of tickets have been already sold, and the management confidently anticipates that the welcome legend, ‘“‘Standing-room only,” will hang ou the outer wall before the curtain rises. HOWELL JURY COMPLETE, Mr. Campbell Wants the Various Counts of the Indictment Separated. Mr. Knight Quotes Judge Morrow in Sheepskin to Judge Morrow on the BencH. I the third trial of Martin D. Howell for counterfeiting does not stretch over into the new year it will not be the fault of the defending. counsel, Joseph C. Campbell, He is fighting the prosecution—which he calls a persecution—by the Government inch by inch. In a sense the trial under the present in- dictment began early - this year. Mr. Campbell began the fight then with a motion to quash. This was argued at length and finally overruled by Judge Morrow. Then a plea of abatement was interposed, which in turn,'when lost, was followed by a demurrer to the indictment, which was also lost. The argument and. decision of the motions took time, and it was not till a week\ or so ago that the third trial of Howell really began. Then, before the jury was impaneled, another prelim- inary motion for the admission of written testimony was neard and decided. At last the talesmen took their seats in the box and their examination began. But the defense had ten peremptory chal- lenges to dispose of and in order to avail himself of any exceptions to the manner in which the jury was chosen these per- emptories must be exhausted. This took more time—the best part of a week in all. Yesterday morning the last peremptory was exhausted and speedily the jury was completed. The twelfth man was G. A. Kohn, a member of the firmof Coghill & Kohn. The other jurors are as follows: Arthur B. Pierson, Charles W. Welch, William K. Hayes, George Walcom, George W. Lamb, George D. Graham, Frederick 8.

Mr. Campbell’s second motion was that the prosecution be competled to elect be- tween the counts which charge the utter~ ance, possession and passing of counter- feit notes and those charging the same things of silver coins. Mr. Knight's general reply was that all the counts charged offenses that were closely connected and wherein the proof of one was also proof of the other. The coin and the notes were obtained at the same time and from the same persons and for the same purposes. It was, he contended, entirely just to the defendant that he should he required to meet all of these charges at the same time, instead of being put to the expense and annoyance of so many separate trials, Judge Foote also spoke to the same effect, arguing that all the authorities | agreed that offenses of the same class and grade might be joined under separate counts in the same indictment. Mr. Campbell spoke again to his motions, and then Judge Morrow promised a de- cision this morning at 10 o’clock.
