Clothing and Money Stolen From a Private House and Grain From the Railroad Cars. MILL VALLEY, CaL.,, Nov. 23.—This town is greatly excited over two robberies that were committed last night. A honse owned by Joon Bettencourt, near Mili- wood, was entered in the absence of the occuvants. The thieves took numerous small articles and a trunk containing clothes and $75 in money. The clothing was found scattered over the hill in the rear of the house, but the money was not recovered. The other theft was of a sack of grain from one of the flatears standing near the railroad station. The thieves carried the sack across the creek for a distance of 200 feet. During this time they were watched by two men, who immediately gave chase, The robbers dropped the'sack and made their escape, but they were recognized. One of them goes under the name of Franklin and the other is George Scott, usually called “Scotty,”” a worthless char- acter who has been hanging around town for about two years. The men who aiscovered them aban- doned the chase and went to the office of the Justice of the Peace to swear out war- rants for their arrest. While they were at the Justice’s office Franklin and Scotty re- turned and made off with the sack of grain. e —— MILL VALLEY SCHOOL. 4An Effort Will Be Made to Keep It Going This Winter. MILL VALLEY, CarL.,, Nov. 23.—The publication in THE CaLL that the Mill Valley school would have to close unless funds are forthcoming has called forth a ready response from -Mill Valley’s citizens. A number have come forward and subscribed various sums and the Improvement Club has decided to take the matter in charge and in some way raise the amount necessary to keep the institution open during the winter. Secretary Fottrell said that some means would be devised by which it would be possible to keep the school open. A sug- gestion to give s public entertainment has been made, and will probably be carried ough, as the people of Mill Valley fully ize the benefits of the school. A spe- tax is levied for school purposes, and igation willimmediately be begun where the trouble lies, as funas nt to run the school for a year were supposed to have been on hand.

CARSON'S MINT SCANDAL. Close of the Defense in the Trial of Sus- pect Heney. CARSON, Nev., Nov. 23.—The defense in the Mint case closed to-day without the defendant, Heney, having gone upon the stand. Evidence was introduced to show that the bars in which the shortage was discovered were stamped by dies in use before the present aaministration came in. It was shown by the prosecution that the Mint sewer, according to the assays of the defense, did not contain over twenty tons of refuse, valued at $350. The prosecution_claims that Coffin for the defense “‘salted’’ the samples in Ather- 1on’s potato patch and has secured a num- ber o?osamples from the same ground, which will be assayed. Itis thought that the ‘prosecution will this pool held a bonanza; but every one was skeptical as to the feasibility of dam- ming the river, though no one doubts there isa rich Jdeposit of gold in the pool. Captain Barrett came here two years ago Captain Frank Barrett, a Sterling Citizen of California. from Ohio with a record, as a promoter, of accomplishing everything he undertook. After purchasing a ranch and building a beautiful home, as a mere matter of habit. he began looking about him and investi- gating the undeveloped resources of Fresno County. He became interested in the pool, and undertook what seemed the her- culean task of cammingtheriver. He has accomplished his object, and in one week more the San Joaquin River will change its course near old Fort Millerton, and run through a new channel chiseled out of the lid granite rock. No sooner was this task, now so near its accomplishment, well under way, than the captain became interested in the oil region in what is known as the West 8ide, and he has undertaken to drill three deep wells to test the country for oil. The surtace inaications are of the best, and de- velopment is aiready under way. A train of six-horse wagons carried machinery and casing to the scene of proposed opera- tions, and boring has commenced. Last wegk an old Pennsylvania oil man inves- tigated the field and predicted a bigger and better yield than that developed at Los Angeles. The surface oil has been found to be of a superior quality. e KAILROAD FORECLOSURE. Judge Hanford Signs a Decree Against Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern. SEATTLE, Wasn., Nov. 23. — United States District Judge Hanford has signed a decree of foreclosure against the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway, naming February 3, 1896, as the final date of re. demption for the decree. By this action the (Festiny of the road is fixed, as it is cut loose from the Northern Pacifit and made a separate line. The amount against the property is about $6,500,000. Foreclosure proceedings were instituted at the instance of the Union Trust Com- pany of New York. Four Motherless Children at Loomis. AUBURN, Can, Nov. 23.—Coroner Mitchbell was called to Loomis yesterday to hold an inquest on the remains of Charles A. Aherns, a rancher at that place. Hem- orrage was the cause of death.

TEXT OF THE DOCUMENT Distribution of Miller & Lux Prop- erty to Be Made by Three Commissioners. POTTERS DEFENSE CLOSED. His Attorneys Announce That They Will Submit Their Case With- out Argument. REDWOOD CITY, CaL, Nov. 23.—"We rest, your Honor. We are willing to sub- mit the case without argument.” That was the point reached by the de- fense for Jesse Potter in Judge Buck's court to-dasy. The one brilliant play of the whole trial was when Henry Miller, who arrived in Redwood City from San Francisco on the noon train with his at- torneys, W. F. Herrin and ex-Judge Eugene Garber, was presented by Potter’s attor- neys witha form of agreement for the immediate settlement of all the Miller & Lux proverty. “Will you sign it?"”’ asked Mr. Pillsbury. *“Yes, if my attorneys say so,” replied Miller. “You can sign it, Mr. Miller, if you wish,” said Attorney Herrin. And, lean- ing over on the Judge's rostrum, and without leaving the witness-stand, Henry Miller signed his name, agreeing to dis- tribute a property valued at between $40,- 000,000 and $50,000,000. The precious document was immediately offered in evidence, Mr. Miller attested his signature to the court clerk and copies were served upon the contesting attorneys. “We rest, vour honor,” said Mr. Pills- bury. But there were other details to be straightened out by the prosecution and the trial went on until about 3:30 o’clock in the afternoon. The agreement signed by Henry Miller covers eighteen closely type-written pages. It provides for the appointment of three commissioners to divide a1l the property. One commissioner to be appointed by the plaintiffs, one by the defendants and a third, if not agreed upon by the other two, | to be selected by the Judge of the court in which the action is pending,or by the Judge of the Superior Court of San Mateo County. The division is to include land, personal property, water rights, good will, etc. 1f all concerned do not agree to division as made by commissioners, then they may bid for choice. During the day several witnesses were called to prove Jesse Potter's business ability, their general testimony being that Potter was keen, careful, a good trader, and that he did not drink to sn extent that in- capacitated him from attending to the ex- tensive aifairs of Miller & Lux. After all the scattering details of the trial had been cleared up, Attorney Pills- pury offered to submit the case without argument, but Mr. Delmas thought it best not to be too hasty and an adjournment was taken until Tuesday, December 3, when the case will be argued. WOE OF A CIRCUS RIDER Lottie Waters Turns On the Gas in Her Cell in San Jose Jail. The Young Woman Had Been Com- mitted to Prison at Her Own Request. SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 23.—Lottie Wat- ers, a young girl who has figured rather prominently in police circles of late, at- tempted suicide in the City Prison last night by turning on the gas in hercell and shutting up all avenues of escape. She was discovered in time and the gas turned off. The girl is being held at her own request until the arrival of her father from Bonny Doone, Santa Cruz County. She was previously a cireus rider, but dis- sipation has affected her mind. She at- tempted suicide once before while serving a twenty days’ sentence. St MRS. KNAPP’S INCOMPETENCY. Her Nephews Ask to Have the Case Reopened. SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 23.—Alfred Jones and Lewis Mahlke, by their attorneys, to- day filed a notice of their intention to ask that the judgment of the court against them in their efforts to have their aunt, Hermina Sophia Knapp, declared incom- petent and a guardian appointed for her, be set aside and a rehearing of the case granted. Mrs. Knapp came into the possession of $150,000 worth of property upon the death of her brother, Christian Freyschlag, about two years ago. Mrs. Knapp, who is about #0 years old, soon after gave all the prop- erty to John Harold Freyschlag, anephew, reserving only $1000, which she paid for admirtance to the Pratt Home. This displeased ber two nephews, and they have made strenuous efforts to have her declared incompetent. e e SANTA CLARA SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Noy. 23— What is probably the first seizure at this port since the Wilson bill knocked the rofit off smuggling was made to-day by nspector Chris Miller aboard the Sehome, on the trip of that vessel from Victoria to this port. y The prisoner who will have toanswer for attempting to defraud the United States is Mrs. Morrison. Her little daughter, young in years but old in wickedness, was also taken along_with the mother. For some time past Mrs. Morrison has been making regular trips to the other side, but it was only recently that suspicion was at- tracted toward her. s Miller found six pounds of opium in a package carried by Mrs. Morrison. Upon the cii]d's person another pound was found. Later two pounds more were found among their effects, making the total seizure nine pounds. The woman and child and the telltale opium were taken to the custom-house, and afterward Commissioner Swan had placed Mrs. Morrison in $200 bonds. Mrs. Morrison went to Victoria on the Rosahe this morning accompanied by the child, and her immediate return attracted the attention which resulted in her arrest. She is the daughter of Richard Dick, one of Clallam County’s most Tespected and wealthy farmers. Her husband, who was a plasterer in the boom days. left_here some time age. and has not since been heard from. The 10- year-old son of the prisoner is now on parole from the court with his grand- father, having been convicted of highway robbery perpetuated u}gon_the seven-year- old son of Israel Katz of this place. STOCKTON BRIBERY CASE, Architect Rushforth Tells of Money Having Been Paid to Brown. Testimony Against the Accused Given by Bulson, the Alleged Go-Between. STOCKTON, CaL., Nov. 23.—The jury to try James Brown, chairman of the Board of Supervisors of San Joaquin County, on the charge of having accepted a bribe in connection with the adoption of Architect Rushforth’s plans for the new* County Hospital, was completed this morning and | the taking of testimony begun. The al- Jeged fact of how the $1000 was divided be- tween C. W. Ward, superintendent of the institution, Dr. . Bulson, the physi- cian, anda Mr. Brown, were brought out pretty thoroughly at the trials, at which Ward was convicted, and Brown’s first | trial, in which the jury disagreed. On the stand_to-day Rushforth told of | the payment of the money under the im- “»rnssiun that it was necessary to secure the adoption of the plans. From the testi- mony it appeared that Bulson acted as a go-between for Ward. Bulson went upon the stand and gave State’s evidence, the indictment against him for participation in the affair having been dismissed in consideration of his do- infithis. e outlined the story freely, sparing himself. An effort by ex-Judge Swinner- ton, the defendant’s counsel, to secure an order from the court compelling District Attorney Nutter to produce the corre- spondence between himself and Bulson failed, the court holding that Mr, Nutter, as an officer of the county, could not be compelled to divulge the secrets of his office. C. W. Ward, the third member of the trio, who is under conviction for his part in the affair, and whose appeal froma ten years’ sentence is now pending in the upreme Court, also gave his testimony. The defense is evidently fighting againet great odds, and the friends of Mr. Brown seem to hope only fora hung jury. The trial will pe resumed Monday mormng. —_ == Fire in Grain Sacks. STOCKTON, Car.,, Nov.23.—Murphy & Frankenheimer’s grain-cleaner came very near being destroyed by fire at Staten last night. All day yesterday wood was burned in the engine that runsthe machinery, and it is thought a cinder lodged in a pile of sacks on the cleaner. Shortly after 11 o’clock the machine was discovered to be on fire and the blaze was not put out until 1000 sacks had been burned and the wood- work about the cleaner badly charred. HOMICIDE NEAR REDDING, The Second Vielent Death Within Ten Days in Shasta County. Isaac Rader Found in His Blacksmith- Shop, With Bullet Holes in His Head. REDDING, Car., Nov. 23.—The second homicide within tne past ten days was committed within the confines of Shasta County to-day. Isaac Rader, an ola and respected resident of Western Shasta, was the victim. This morning a man happened in at the blacksmith-shop of Isaac Rader, at his home a mile west of Gas Point and about eighteen miles west of Redding. He found Rader lying face downward in front of his forze, where he had been working. Bullet holes were found in both temples. The ball had evidently struck the mur- dered man in the leit temple, going clear through the head and coming out. on the right side of his head just above the ear. The body had apparently lain about two hours. It is not known how the killing was committed nor whocomnmitted it. No one has been arrested. The reportof the killing was brought to Redding about 2 o’clock to-dg. and Sheriff Houston, Coroner Earnest, District Attor- ney Rose and a physician have gone to the scene of the shooting. Until they re- turn, which will be to-morrow, no definite account of the affair can be had, ‘William Rader, a brother of the dead man, was about two years ago tried and acquitted of the charge of Killing a man named Heath, on the Anderson road, just north of Clear Creek, three miles be{ow Redding. But there was not sufficient evidence to convict him. It is said that he and his brother, Isaac, have had serious trouble and had a quarrel about a year ago, since which time a feel- ing of enmity bas existed between them. On this ground suspicion is said to rest on him. Deceased was 50 years of age and leaves quite a Iarge family. —_— Suicide of a Merced Chinaman. MERCED, CaL., Nov. 23.—Ah Coom, a Chinese laborer, 28 years of age, hanged himself to the rafters of _an outbuilding in Chinatown last night.

FOUR NEW RECORDS, Cyclers Make Fast Time on the Los Angeles Track. MURPHY'S GREAT RIDE. Four Circuits of a Quarter-Mile Course Covered in 2:01 4°5. HANDICAP WON BY CROMWELL. Wells of San Francisco Beats the Eastern Cracks Over a Short Distance. L0OS ANGELES, CaL.,, Nov. 23.—There was a large crowd at Athletic Park to-day to witness the last day’s races of the L. A. W. National Circuit meeting. A splendid day's sport was the result, and several world’s records for a quarter-mile track were broken. Little “Crimson Rim’ Knip established the juvenile quarter-mile record at 1:14 4-5. C. M, Murphy, paced by Ulbricht and Hatton, in a mile race against time, amid loud cneers and ap- plause from the spectators crossed the tape in 2:01 4-5, breaking two world’s records, making the half mile in :564-5 and lowering Harris’ record on the Pitts- burg track by 12-5 seconds. In the mile race for winners of class A races, McFar- land established a new record of 2:10. In the five-mile handicap Ruess fell and brought down Weaver, Cox and Taylor. Taylor untangled his wheel and continued the race, but the other machines were too badly crippled for their riders to go ahead. One of the pretty features of to-day’s meet was the fancy riding of five-year-old Dorothy French. The day was favorable for fast time, the sky being slightly clouded, and scarcely any wind was notice- able. Prizes were distributed at the Or- pheum Theater to-night. The next meet will take place at Santa Ana and some of the Eastern riders will remain to attend the opening of the Pasa- dena track, which will take place on New Year's day.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL., Nov. 23.—The Grand Jury to-day rendered its report. The management of the County Hospital and Poorhouse 1s warmly commended and certain necessary improvements are recom- mended. The Courthouseand grounds are declared in good condition, the jail is de- clared inadequate in size for the number of prisoners confined in it, and the Sheriff is asked to notify the Federal authorities to send no more United States prisoners here until the accommodations are extended. It is recommended that the Hall of Rec- ords be made more secure against poasible depredations by the addition of brass or steel bars outside all of the windows. The county authorities are urged fo take more care about enforcing the law relating to the carrying of concealed weapons. The recommendation is distinctly and forcibly made: That all able-bodied men confined in the County Jail be put to work upon the roads and streets when the | weather will permit, and that a rock pile be established for their entertainment at other times. TO THE GOLOFIELD MINES A Proposed Extension of the Phenix, Tempe and Mesa City Road. California Capitalists [at the Head of | a Terminal Railway Scheme in Arizona, PHENIX, Ariz., Nov. 23.—The Pheenix, Tempe and Mesa City Railroad, a ten- mile branch of the Phcenix and Maricopa Railroad, runs from where the greater road taps Tempe to Mesa City, a wealthy community settled by Mormons, who came here from Utah about twenty years ago. The country through which the road runs is one of the richest sections of the Salt River Valley, and although this much of it will fill one of the most urgent need: of this section, work will be continued un- til it reaches tne Goldfield mining camps, a distance of about twenty) miles from the vresent terminus. It was about two years ago that the peo- ple of the three cities and of this section of the Salt River Valley came to the conclu- sion that thisroad was urgently needed. T he interests of Pheenix, Tempe and Mesa City are identical, as the business men of these three towns derive their trade from this section of the Salt River Valley. Assoon as this conclusion was reached the Chamber of Commerce of Ph@nix took up the matter, as did the business menand farrers generally. A year was spent in discussing ways and means and agitating |. the question, during which time all sorts of absurd plans and impracticable schemes were broached. Railroad promoters from all over the country were invited to visit and look over the ground. Many com- blied, but no decision being reached, it | egan to look as though the citizens would | have to build the line by popular subserip- | tion. | About the time that this came to be a | foregone conclusion and an accepted fact, N. K. Masten, one of California’s most prominent railroad promoters, was inter- ested in the vroiect. After looking over the ground he decided that the proposed | road was not only feasible, but would | be a aying investment. Return- ing to "California, he in turn inter- ested Francis Cutting and Sydney Smith, who came, saw and were conquered. They, after reaching the same conclusion as had Mr. Masten, decided to build a road, and | in June of this year a surveying party was | organized and sent over the route. Im- mediately after them a construction gang was sent under the superintendency of G. H. Honshell, who pushed the road to a rapid completion, the entire cost aggre- gating over $150,000.

NEW DISCOVERY AT LICK, Mr. Brooks of New York Adds Another Comet to the List. An Aerial Wanderer Now Traversing Space in the Constellation Hydra. SAN JOSE, Car, Nov. 23.—For the third time within three months the pow- erful reflectors at the Lick Observatory have given to the astronomers knowledge of the existence of a comet before un- known. Following the discovery, a week ago, of Perrine's comet, named after the scientist who first announced its appear- ance, Mr. Brooks of New York yesterday adaed to the list an aerial wanderer, which will take his name. The Brooks comet is quite large, without a tail, but is not visible to the naked eye. 1t is now in the constellation Hydra, moving rapidly northward. at the rate of four degrees per day. Professor Campbell finds that the spectrum is of the usual type, showing the presence of incandes- cent nitrogen and carbon. Perrine’s comet has been observed here by Professor Aitken every morning, ex- cept Monday, since the discovery. The tail at the present time is increasing in length at the rate of about 1,000,000 miles per day. With the aid of a photograph taken by Mr. Colton this morning the com- puted length of the visible tail was found to be at least 10,000,000 miles. In the heightof his celebrity, 8ir Morrell Mackenzie, the throat specialist, earned $75,000 a year. NEW TO-DAY. WEARY OF LIFE. There are hundreds of people who are really tired of exist ence.

These three grand tonics, sustenants and system-builders have only once been per- fectly combined. Dr. Henley did it; and the Celery, Beef and Iron preparation which bears his name is the only thing which certainly cures the ills of the tired man, the weak woman and the puny child.
