THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 21, 189 SAN JOSE SENSATIN, Suit Brought to Oust Jus- tice of the Peace Dwyer. SERIOUS CHARGES MADE. He Is Accused of Collecting and Retaining Illegal Fees. BIG PAY FOR A SUMMONS. The Magistrate Alleged to Have Set- tled With Offenders Out of Court. SAN JOSE, CaL., Dec. 20.—W. L. Frost to-day began suit in the Superior Court to oust William H. Dwyer as Justice of the Peace of San Jose Township, on the grounds that he had knowingiy, wilfully | aund corruptly charged, collected and re- tained illegal fees for sefvices rendered or to be rendered by him in his office as Jus- tice of the Peace. It is charged thaton April 8, 1895, Ju: tice Dwyer charged and collected from the Singer Manufacturing Company the sum | of $4 for filing a complaint, issuing sum- mons and other services, in a suit against Louis Nizoola. The complaint cites simi- lar cases in which the same charge was made for the same service, and sets forth that the charges are illegal and in excess | of the sum allowed by law for such ser- vices. The complaint here recites that on Sep- tember 24, 1895, Justice Dwyer issued war- rants for the arrest of C. H. Corey, Walter Evans, Eugene Gregory, W. L. Watson and W. S. Anderson for conducting gam- bling games, alleging that these com- plaints were sworn to before him by one James Edwards, and that' he fixed the time of hearing the complaints at 8 P. M. of September 25, 1895. The defendants presented themselves at the time set for trial, but the Justice refused and neglected to act in the matter. It is alleged that on October 22, 1895, W. L. Frost was arrested on a charge of battery | and fined $50 by Justice Dwyer, and this | sam was paid by Frost, and that at the same time and place the defendant fined | A. H. Frost $25on a similar charge. The | complaint then recites that on October 24, | 1895, Justice Dwyer accepted from Frost in | full satisfaction of the fine of $25 the sum | of $15. | Another charge is that Justice Ihvye.—} fined E. S. Fourr 45 on June 7 for bat- | tery, collecting the a ating it to his own use it over to the County Dwyer is further charg Norman Acton for n us misc petit larceny, collecting $10 on June 27, | which amount he still retains. ! The plaintiff waives all rights to ahy sums of mouey or any judement allowed | by law. He asked that an order be en-| tered directing a citation to issue com- | manding Dyer to appear and that a time | be set for the hearing of the accusations | and the evidence in their support; also that asiudement and decree be entered re- moving the defendant from office. The hearing on tie petition for a citation was set for to-morrow morning. Justice Dwyer, when seen by a reporter, | declined to make any statement, saying it would be time enough for that when a citation was served upon him. et ROSE CARMVAL PAGEANT. sunt and appropri- | \d refusing to turn | Treasurer.

NOGALES, Ariz., Dec. 20.—A serious wreck, which may result in a death, oc- curred in the Nogales yard yesterday. Train No. 2, from Sonora, a double-header, ran into a train standing on the main track in front of the Mexican Custom- house. ‘While coming down a steep grade south of Nogales the air became exhausted, and for some reason the call of the engineers | for brakes was not complied with, and they lost control of the train, which in- creased its speed to thirty miles an hour. Engine 10, W. A. Linder engineer, crashed into a car loaded with ore, and both car and engine were completely wreeked. The car had to be taken to pieces from around the engine and now lies in the ditch. Engine 4, a switch en- gine, telescoped a passenger coach, and both were wrecked. Four or five other cars were badly damaged. The accident was caused by the yard- master making up the north-bound pas- senger trair, which leaves Nogales upon the arrival of the train from_ Sonora, and using the main line for switching when the train was momentarily expected. For- tunately there were no passengers in the coach. ~ Henry Snow, a pumper for the company, was returning from Aguazarca, and jumped from the engine. His ankle was crushed, and both bones of one of his legs broken. He isan old man, and the shock may kill him. FILED AT REDWOOD CIT!, The Southern Pacific Secures Rights of Way for a New Road. Can Now Construct a Double Track From San Francisco to San Bruno. REDWOOD CITY, CaL.,, Dec. 20.—A deed bas been filed in the Recorder’s office in which John R. Coryell conveys to the Southern Pacific Company about forty- seven acres of land along the bay shore south of the San Francisco County line. This remoxes one of the principal obstacles in the way of the Southern Pacific Com- pany constructing the new double-track short route to San Francisco. At the time the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company was in- corporated condemnation swts for right of way over a strip of land 100 feet wide were | entered by the Southern Pacific Compary against all the owners of property along the bay shore from the San Francisco County line to San Bruno. These suits have since that time nearly all been set- tled quietly out of court, in seme instances by direct purchase of the whole property instead of the small strip required for right of way. The Coryell ownership was one of the last to t. It is now reported that the Southern Pacific Company has overcome all difficulties and is in a posi- tion to proceed with the work. When the suits were first brought it was stated that the Southern Pacific Company intended to build a double track between San Francisco and San Bruno. It is now be ex- This report has s znificance at the present time, in view of the efforts that different parties have made to secure railroad francnises in the Santa Clara Valley and tidewater connections that will give access by steamer to San Francisco. Aside from heading off opposition from the above source the Southern Pacific Company will need the double track to accomnmodate the overland travel as soon as the Santa Barbara gap is clcsed.

The flames spread so rapidly that the Countess and her two { children were unable to escape, and they were burned to death. HED REDDY IS SELECTED vaernor Budd Has Appointed Him Superintendent of the Almshouse. The Sacramento Conference Between Jim and Pat Practically Decided the Matter. Notwithstanding the statement of the Levingston Tigers tbat Governor Budd had made more promises than he can keep, the latter gentleman has appointed Mr. Ned Reddy Superintendent of the Almshouse, to take charge of that institu- tion on the first of the year. The appointment was the result of a visit made to the Governor some days ago by ex-Senator Patrick Reddy, who is a brother of the Superintendent-elect. Mr. Ned Reddy has been waiting, so it is said, for the action of the Governor for the:last eleven montbs, and finally asked his. brother to call on the cnief magis- tl;u’t,e of the State and see ‘‘where he was at. The brother proceeded in the matter at once and repaired to the capital. “Governor,” said he, “how about that appointment of Ned's?" *‘I guess that will be all right, Pat.” *‘Well, it has been all right for some time, Jim, but the particular date of the appoint- ment has not become apparent to me. Sup- pose, Jim, we settle on something defi- nite?” “All ight, Pat. When, for instance?”’ “Now.” “Now goes, Pat,” and Mr. Budd made the selection that Mr. Reddy was concerned about. This action took place last week, but up to yesterday was kept quiet with the rest of the State secrets. The Governor's selection will Probsblz be satisfactory to the rank and file of the Democracy, as Mr. Reddy was for a long time captain of the guard at San Quentin. but resigned nearly a year ago to wait for the appointment at’last conferred upon him by the Governor, —————— Struck With a Hatchet.

The California and Broadway Brew- eries Deny That They Are Cutting Prices. During the past two or three weeks there has been internal strife among the mem- bers of the Brewers' Protective Associa- tion, and charges have been made that the California Brewery, on Douglass and Sev- enteenth streets, and the Broadway Brew- ery, on Broadway, have been selling under the price agreed upon by the association— $5 per barrel. In yesterday’s CALL was published ‘the statement of a man who claims to know of tae situation, that the California Brewery was selling at $3 50 per barrel—a cut of $1 50—and that the Broad- way Brewery was also cutting in prices. C. B. Stone of the San Francisco Breweries (limited) said that these brewers were ac- cused of cutting 50 cents on a barrel. W. J. Rohrer of the Broadway Brewery denies that his concern is guilty of under- selling beer, and states that he has not changed the price, and one of the manag- ers of the California Brewery submits the following statement: In an article in yesterday’s CALL it was made to upPear that weare reducing the {mce of our beer from $5 to $3 50 a barrel. We wish to most emphatically deny this charge, as our price has aiways been $5 per barrel, as per rules of the Brewers’ Protective Association. CALIFORNTA BREWERY.

MANY ARE THROWN OUT. Raid .of Speculators Upon the Treasury Checked by the Governor. MR. BUDD SPOILS A ROMANCE. The Story of a Pardon Granted to Con- vict Brown Denounced as a Canard. SACRAMENTO, CaL.,, Dec. 20.—The claim of R. Page Brown for architectural work on the San Francisco ferry building was submitted to the Board of Examiners this afternoon and referred by that body to the Attorney-General. Secretary Mark- | ley was instructed to ask the Board of Harbor Commissioners to forward data concerning the present contract. ‘When the matter of back claims of coun- ties against the State for the care of indi- gent and half orphans was brought up, District Attorney Bell of Napa County ap- peared and presented an argument in be- half of the payment of the claims of the county he represented; but he met with small success, as Governor Budd immedi- ately sprung the statute of limiration upon him and bis clazms, many of which have been running since 1883. After reading the act, Governor Budd said: ‘‘There are a number of speculators in the State who, 1 am creditably informed, have for some time been engaged in dig- ging up all these defunct claims of ages past in the hopes of making a raid on the State treasury. Now, I feel it incumbent upon me to offer a resolution to the effect that from this time forward this board will positively refuse to consider any bills which are rendered void through the limi- tation act. It is evident that moneys were expended by the counties with no thought of reinbursement, and I am certainly not in favor of speculators receiving any moneys which the counties fail to collect.” The resolution was carried, and the matter laid over for future consideration. A communication was received from the secretary of the defunct Society, requesting further time in. order to periect an inventory of State property still in its possession. This was granted and Secretary Bonte was authorized to receive and receipt for the property on the part of the State University. Theclaim of 8. H. Harmon for restitution of interest payment on alleged State school land, which had proved to be Government land, was la'd over, and the following resolution was presented by the Governor and adopted: Resolved, That the Registrar of the Land Office be and is hereby respectfully requested to transmit to the State Board of Examiners his certificates that the land has been proved not to be State land, and tne proof upon which said certificate was fssued, the samé to be re- turned to the Registrar’s office after the claim has been passed upon. The bills for the establishment of the new fish hatchery on Battle Creek did not meet with the absolute approval of the board, the members considering that the commission was inclined to overdraw its funds and create a deficiency, which, they declared, could by no means be permitted | under the present law. All buildings erected by State commissions whose con- structicn calls for a greater sum than $3000 must be let by contract, but Secre- tary of State Brown declared that many of the commissions were inclined to beat this law by having the buildings erected in sections, and this would no longer be allowed. It was agreed that Secretary Markley should communicate with the members of the Fish and Game Commis- sion and ascertain if at least one of the hatcheries could not be abandoned. In examining the bills for supplies for the different State asylums, Secretary of State Brown discovered that white beans were furnished the Napa asylum for $1 4214 per 100 pounds, while the Glen Ellen insti- tution paid $3 40. As the same contractor supplied both asylums, the item aroused the anger of the board, and it agreed to give this matter special consideration on its coming tour of inspection. Four claims have been filed by different persons for the reward for the arrest and conviction of Ivan Kovalev, who is await- ing death for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. ‘Weber in this city. The four who believe they are entitled to the money are: W.T. Hamilton, G. H. Jost, I. W. Lees and E. L. Bennett. The matter was laid away for consideration. Some time in the dim future the claimants will be allowed to relate how each captured Kovalev, but the next month or two will be devoted to giving all the State asylums a severe pruning in the way of reducing their numbter of employes. — DEATH OF DANIEL WEST. He Was One of the Most Popular of \ Southern Pacific Conductors. SACRAMENTO, Car.,, Dec. 20.—Daniel West, one of the oldest and most popular conductors in the employ of the Southern Pacific Company, died this evening at the residence of Mrs. E. M. Skaggs, in this city. Mr. West was born in Fairfield, N, Y and arrived in California in 1868. Previ ous to this he had been employed in rail- road work with the late A. N. Towne. His first work on this coast was done on the old California Pacitic road between Sacra- mento and Vallejo. He was a member of the Royal Arch Masons, under whose auspices the funeral will take place. The interment will be in Oakland. Al BROWN WAS NUT PARDONED. Governor Budd Denies the Report as a Canard of the First Water. SACRAMENTO, Car., Dec. 20.—'‘The these | Viticultural | published story that a pardon was granted to Werth Brown, the convicted murderer, who died at San Quentin Saturday,isa canard of the first water,” declared Gov- ernor Budd to-dav. ‘‘No such document has ever been issued from this office. “T have bad many surprises since I have | occupied the executive chair, bus this came upon me like a clap of thunder out of a clear sky. I was positive that I had per- sonally never issued such a document and my only deduction was that some of my oftice staff had, during my absence, exer- cised my personal prerogative. They all declare their innocence, and the records of the office show that no such pardon papers have been issued.” CAZADERO MYSTERY CLEARED. | The Skeleton of John Cook Found on the Broata stanch. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Dec. 20.—The skele- ton of John Cook of Cazadero, who has been missing for over a year, has been found on the Broata ranch near Cazadero. The Coroner’s jury brought in a verdict of death from unknown causes. When Cook disappeared last December | it was thought he had been murdered by tramps. A bullet-hole was found in the wall of his cabin, but no other trace of | foul play was discovered. Cook had been on the verge of delirium tremens, and it is now supposed he wandered away while crazed by liquor to a lonely death in the | hills miles from any habitation. Cook had once been a teamster, but was crippled for life by falling from his wagon. He started a saloon about four miles north- west of Cazadero, and was living there | when last seen. A stock of liquors, some | money and household utensils were found | in the cabin in an undisturbed condition | when friends made a search for him at the | time of his disappearance. The skeleton of Cook was identified by | certain shattered bones, the result. of the | fall from a wagon sustained by the unfor- | tunate man. | SEATILE MEN IN- LUCK, to May Secure the Contract Build the Siberian Rail- road.

This agent, who is now in Seattle, is none other than a French Count, who is now registered at the Hotel Northern as De Tolonce-Loutre. French though he is De Tolonce-Loutre has been engaged on the Siberian railroad in the capacity of civil engineer. The Count is now conferring with | Shepard & Henry, railroad contractors of | this city, with the view of giving that firm | the contract of constructing several hnn- | dred miles of road. He presented a docu- ment written in Russian authorizing him to make terms and awards. Messrs. Shepard & Henry have satisfied them- selves both as to the identity of the man and his mission to this country. The Count came unheralded yesterday, regis- tering at the Northern last night, and he will probably remain in the city for a day or two. “Parlez vous Francais, monsieur,” the Count queried “of Mr. Presbrey, the hotel manager. When assured that Presbrey was a Yankee the Frenchman, in broken English, repiied: ‘1 like Yankees, but ‘detest - ze Englishmen.” it Eegh ptasl SAN ANDREAS HOLD-UP. A Crazy Man Stops a Mailcart and Shoots Holes Through the Letter- Pouches. SAN ANDREAS, CaL, Dec. 20. — A novel stage nold-up took place about two miles and a half from here to-day. As the two-wheeled cart which carries mail be- tween this place and Sheep Ranch was about two miles from town the driver, a 16-year-old boy, saw a man, Sarsfield Coo- gan, who lives near San Andreas, standing at the roadside. Knowing Coogan, the driver asked him if he was not lost. Coo- gan, instead of replying, drew a pistol and leveled it at the boy, ordarinfi him to | throw out the muilbng. ‘When he secured the bag he shouldered it and started off, bnt suddenly threw it down, shot three noles through it and then gave it back to the driver and told him to proceed. Coogan told the driver to inform Sheriff Thorn that he would be at Yankee Camp. As soon as the boy reached town Con- stables Treat and Cavagnaro started to search for Coogan and found him at his Lome. When he saw the officers enter he vicked up a shotgun, but did not attempt touse it. He came quietly to town.
