THEE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1895. CARSOFS MIFTTHES James Heney’s Second Trial Ends in a Verdict of Guilty. ONE DISSENTING JUROR.! He Finally Surrenders to the Majority in the Sixth Ballot. PERJURERS ARE UNDER FIRE. The Government Conducting an Ex haustive Investigation of the Scandal. CARSON, Nev., Dec. 21.—James Heney has been convicted of stealing bullion to the amount of over $23,000 from the Carson Mint. The second trial of the suspect ended at 8:45 o’clock this evening, when the jury returned a verdict of guilty. decision was reached on the sixth baliot, there having been one dissenting vote up to that time. General Clarke addressed the jury for three ho The se tional feature of his talk was a scorching comment upon the methods of Trenmore Coflin, one of the ® James Heney, Convicted of Looting the Carson Mint. who, he claimed, pet- the case and . resorted to under- yded methods in trying to clear the de- dant. He dwelt upon the wholesale in running witnesses out of and hiring officers of the law ng the public from thieves, were doi fense by p bigger thieve and that when the rea witne: strikers and allies of Hen summed up, he would assay in honesty and respectability as the bestof the gang,al- though the trial had shown him to be a thief and a urer. The Government is now taking active steps to proceed against all persons con- cerned in inducing witnesses to leave the country by intimidation and bribery. The cases will be pushed vigorously, and the officers of the Government say they will go to the bottom of the mint scandal if it takes ten years and no matter whom it involves. Because of the tremendous efforts being made to acquit Heney, 1t is clear that men higher in station are im- plicated. The defense of Heney cost thousands of dollars, and he bore but a very small proportion of it himself. The discovery in the treasury of 80,000 minted coins of 1593, supposed to been surreptitiously minted, has caused the Government to move in the matter. All the coinage of 1893 is being counted in the mint. The full coinage was $677,- 000. The United States District Attorney examined the coins in the State treas- ury and many have been found to be de- fective, as if rushed through ina hurry. The theory is that when silver bullion was worth 62 cents in 1293 a lot was surrepti- tiously coined, and after the Government stamp was ou it it became worth $1 29, a profit of over 67 centson the dollar. A quiet minting operation of this kind would net the ir 37,290, Two people could do this— and refiner or his as- sistant and the coiner—but if more officials were taken into the combine it could be worked much more eastly.

The Experiences of Peter F. Dailey in Various Cities. When Peter F. Dailey was playing “A Country Sport’” last ar he knew that John J. McNally’s play for him was to be called “The Night Clerk,” and so be- gan to make observations. Night clerks became his hobby, and, traveling as he did from one end of the country to the other, he had ample oppor- tunity to observe them. He had seen the begrimmed porter in the one-night stands who officiates in that capacity, and who bas an idea that his duty consists in disre- garding the bells, in case they exist, and in keeping the stove in the office full of coal. He had watched the magnificent being who presides over the huge hotels in the still hours, watched the electric globes alternately pale and blush before the steady effulgence of his diamond fpin, and from these he ob- £ood bits, which undoubtedly helped **The Night Clerk” to success. His friends were aware that Mr. Dailey was searching for interesting incidents and quaint situations, and did not bother him, but his acquaintances were in the dark. In the course of his researches Mr. Dailey met a night clerk, who had just been discharged for no other reason than that he was cross-eyed. This is a good quality in a poker player, but scems to be a bad one for night clerks. He officiated in a hotel where they had a telesime. That is a contrivance whereby a guest can place a pointer on a dial that is fixed to the wall of his room and orders anything he wishes without having to summon a bellboy. The dial is covered with the names of articles that the guests are most apt to call for, and upon arranging the pointer and pushing the button, the dial 1n the office shows what is des The wife of the proprietor of the hote! had been away fora long time and returned while the night clerk was on duty, Her first question to her husband was regarding asto how he passed his time, and his answers were straight and satis- factory. The proprietor wanted to order her a cup of tea or something or other to refresh her, and she told him to send for whatever he had been drinking while she was gone. With a calm satisfaction the proprietor arranged the pointer for a bottle of Apollinaris water and punched the button. Fifteen minutes later the bellboy entered the room bearing seven whisky cocktails and acopy of the Police Gazette, all be- cause the clerk was cross-eyed and hadn’t read the indicator rizht.” He was dis- charged, but even thatdidn’t build a bridge of any size over the gulf that was created in that happy home. Mr. Dailey went into a hotel about 2 A.M. The night clerk had hischair tipped back, and had put his feet in the safe in- stead of closing it, while he indulged in a temporary doze. Dailey had a cigar, and wanted a match. “Could you oblige me with a little fire?"” said the actor, softly. The clerk aid not move, and Dailey re- peated his question with the accent on “fire.” That night clerk was awake in an instant. He pulled tbe fire alarm, hur- riedly jammed the valuables in the safe nto his watch pocket, and had not re- covered his breath before he had been dis- charged by the irate proprietor. e The vice-chancellor of Cambridge Uni- versity, riding & wheel, was considerably injured. For a while public feeling had an awful how-dye-do, for it didn’t know whether to go out in sympathy for the broken-up dignitary, or to frown st the very thought of such 2 personage descend- ing to sucfi sport. SN DIEGANS LOST. Three Men Drowned at a Lower California Port. PERISHED IN THE SURF. One of the Steamer Carlos Pacheco’s Boats Capsized by a Breaker. THEIR BODIES NOT RECOVERED. Vain Efforts of the Captain and Crew to Rescue the Unfortunate Seamen. SAN DIEGO, Car.,, Dec. 21.—Second Mate Robert Smith and Seamen William Tornas and John Stromburg, of the steamer Carlos Pacheco of this port, were drowned at San Antonio Landing, Lower California, yvesterday. Their bodies were not recovered. At the time of the accident Mate Smith and the two sailors were engaged in taking wheat from the beach to the steamer, at anchor several hundred yards out. One of the ship’s boats was used in the work, and was with great difficulty run through the heavy surf. During an unusually heavy swell, and when the boat was heavily loaded, a curling breaker capsized the crait and threw the men into the water, Although but a short distance from the beach, none of them reached land nor were seen by the men on the steamer. It is believed that all three of the men were struck and stunned by the boat as it went over. As soon as the accident occurred Captain Colburn sent part of the crew in a boat to try to save the men, but no sign of them could be found. The surf at San Antonio Landing is usually high and strong and the place has always been feared by Cop- on the 26th inst. He stated to-day ,that! he doubted whether new inaictments would be brought against those impli- cated in the recent bribery cases in con- nection with the County Hospital plans, and said that his voice would be against such action on account of the expense to the county and the improbability of secur- ing convictions. RETURNING TO PORT TOWNSEND. The Ship Wachusett Disabled by a Gale at Sea. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Dec. 21.— The ship Wachusett, which was towed to sea last Tuesday with coal from Nanaimo for San Francisco, i8S now being towed back to this port in a disabled condition, as the result of an encounter with a storm off the Washington coast. Her cargo is badly shifted, and she is reported leaking. The Wachusett is one of the stanchest of the fleet that went out during the recent storm, and her condition has aroused grave fearsin the minds of ship- ping _men here for the safety of other vessels along the northwest coast. Appre- hension is especially expressed for the Strathinevis, for if the prevailing storm of the past week extended far enough out to sea to reach her, she has almost certainly foundered. The Wachusett will probably be brought to this port, and will arrive to- morrow forenoon. TACOMA'S AGED EDITOR, Seventy-Second Birthday of the Nestor of North Pacific Coast Journalism, One of the Bohemians of the Atlantic Who Became a Pioneer in the Northwest. TACOMA, WasH., Dec. 21.—The Nestor of journalism on the North Pacific Coast undoubtedly lives in Tacoma, in the per- son oi Edward N. Fuller, who on the 6th inst. celebrated the seventy-second anni- versary oi his birthday. Mr. Fuller is a hale old journalistic veteran who has done newspaper work in every conceivable ca- pacity, from inking the rolier for an old ‘Washington handpress to acting as man- aging editor on a metropolitan daily. | He was born in Boston in 1824, and ter- minated his apprenticeship in Dover, N. H,, in the Gazette office at theage of 24. His spirit was progressive, and at 25 he ownel{’ and published the Dover Telegraph, A s N A N EDWARD N, FULLER, THE NESTOR OF JOURNALISM OF THE NORTH PACIFIC COAST.

Stromburg was unmarried and was making his first voyage on the Pacheco. Fred Richardson, superintendent of the Development Company at San Quintin, left that place overland this morning for S8an Antonio Landing, forty miles north, with apparatus to be used in searching for the bodies of the drowned men. During rough o effect Utah Made Glad. WASHINGTON D. C., Dec. 21.—The constitution for the State -of Utah which was submitted to the Attorney-General by the President, has been examined and approved by that officer. The President will on January 4, 1896, issue his procla- mation admitting the Territory of Utah as a State of the Union and the terms of the State officers will begin on the following Monday, January 6. In compliance with the request of the delegation that pre- sented the constitution vo the President, the Attorney-General has advised the Chief Justice of the Territory of Utah of the contemplated action of the President. g Action of Bondholders. S8T. PAUL, Mi~~., Dec. 21.—Late this afternoon the attorney for the second and third mortgage bondholders of the North- ern Pacific appeared before Judge Sanborn and asked for the privilege of intervening in the matter of receiverships. The Judge took the matter under advisement. ThLe meaning of the action is not well under- stood here, but it is supposed to be a no- tice_to the other holders of Northern Pacific securities that the holders of second and third mortgage bonds do not waive any of their rights. —_—— Killed Near Woodville. ASHLAND, Or., Dec. 21.—Joe Foster, an old miner, living near tae Bloody Run gravel pit, six miles north of Woodville, was killed by a north-bound passenger train last night. He had been at Wood- ville “having a time,” and started for home late in the afternoon in an inebriated con- dition. When near his ranch, he probably lay down on the track and slept. an(ortu- nu_tlely he laid squarely acrossone of the rails. Lt ke Choosing a Nevada Postmaster. NEVADA, Cav., Dec. 2L.—The Demo- cratic County Central Committee met to- day at the request of Stephen M. Whit», to indorse a candidate for Postmaster. J. E. Carr was the choice of six candidates. Considerable bad feeling was aroused over the matter, as the Democratic rank and file felt that the committee had no right to recommend any one. W. A. Bucknam waa indorsed for the Truckee Postoffice. s gt Grand Jury to Keconvene. STOCKTON, CaL., Dec. 20.—Foreman ‘Woodbridge of the Grand Jury has an- nounced that that body will meet again which under his energetic management soon became a daily of considerable im- portance. A few years later misfortune reduced him to the necessity of working at the case in Boston. Afterward he became editor of the Manchester (N. H.) Daily Mirror. At that period of his life it is probable that, like the proverbial rolling stone, he gathered no moss, for in a few ears he made another change and was put in charge of the New Hampshire Gazette of Portsmouth. In 1856 he went to New- ark, N.J., and started the Newark Daily Journal, which he edited and published for ncarly fifteen vears. During a part of that time he published also a monthly magazine, the New Jersey Review. In 1871 he first came West and stopped in Chicago for several years, being part of the time employed in editorial writing on the Chicago Daily News which had then for a financial backer McCormick, of reaper fame. It was then published as a campaign sheet in the interest of Horace Greeley's Presidential campaign. Later Mr. Fuller went to Salt Lake and worked on the Herald, and finally in 1882 came to Tacoma under engagement to edit the Daily News of this city, then just started by H. C. Patrick. In 186 he was elected the first secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, upon its organization, and remained there two years. Then he started a weeklz called Commerce in Puyallup, which he sold in 1888 to Colonel J. W. Redington. Mr. Fuller is one of the best known and attractive individuals in Tacoma society and is the father of Miss Fay Fuller who not only inherits her father’s journalistic ability, but has gained fame as'a mountain climber. 8he was the first woman to plant foeton the summit of Mount Tacoma, 14,444 feet above the sea level, and has since repeatedly made the ascent. She has also climbed Mount Hood and Mount Baker in Oregon. She is a prominent mem- ber of the Alpine Club and a fine amateur actress. Stockton Football Players Beaten in a Snappy Struggle. SCORE, EIGHT TO SIX. An Exciting Game Witnesse& by a Large Crowd at Agri- cultural Park. TWICE FAIL TO KICK GOAL The Capital City Athletes Score Two Touchdowns to One for Their Opponents. SACRAMENTO, Cir.,, Dec. 21.—Stock- ton’s scalp dangles at Sacramento’s belt. The football elevens of the high schools of the two cities met on the local gridiron this afternoon, and the Capital City lads carried off the honors by a score of 8 to 6. Despite the inclement weather, a large crowd gathered at Agricultural Park to witness the game. Previous to the game a four-horse trap paraded the town with an enthusiastic contingent of students armed with tin horns, and shouting their school slogan. The grand stand at the park was packed with people sporting white ribbons—the Sacramento colors— and the feminine portion of the school manifested its joy at every clever play made by the local champions, by the toot- ing of horns and the discordant jingle of cowbells. The elevens lined ap as follows: Sacramento. Position. Stockton. Langley ~Henderson The play throughout was quick, snappy and interesting. In the first half Sacra- mento gained a touchdown in quick order, but failed to kick goal. Then Stockton made a backdown -on a fluke and kicked a goal. Sacramento then rushed the ball by a series of brilliant plays to their oppo- nents’ five-yard line, but the call of time saved a touchdown. The second half was more stubbornly contested, but resulted in a touchdown for Sacramento, who again failed to kick a goal. POLITICS A LA BUCKLEY, The Enrollment Winds Up in Enormous, if Not Suspi- cious, Size. Too Many Names South of Market--The General Committee to Meet Thursday. The big six night's enrollment of the Buckley faction of the local Democracy wound up last night with an excess of 12,000 names on the rolls. | Few enroliments in past years, when the party has been united, has exceeded this. In 1892, when the reorganizers and the old county committee united at the primary enrollment, and when enroll- ment was larzely done by postal card, the total was 12,975. How much of this en- rollment is legitimate remains to be indi- cated. The Junta people say, of eourse, that it is a farce and full of stuffing. Buckley leaders say that there has un- doubtedly been some stuffing, as there has been at every primary by every party or faction, but that every effort has been made to minimize it because of the cir- cnmstances which make it especially need- ful for that side to be circumspect and do about right, and that the enrollment is as fair as any the City has seen. It is asserted that any stuffing done is owing to the presence of rival district factions, who want to win the delegates at the primary, and that the rolls will be thoroughly purged. The enrol!ment on the last night was verlv] heavy. Revports were compfiete last night except for one night in the Thirty- eighth District and two nights in the Thirty-fifth. The following figures show respectively the enrollment for last night and the total enrollment by districts: Twenty-eighth District, 134—553; Twenty- ninth, 226—849; Thirtieth, 168—970; Thirt first, 177—841; Thirty-second, 3 Thirty-third, 179—934; Thm;r-fomh, 161— 597; Thirty-sixth, 314—1171; Thirty-seventh, 117—495; Thirty-ninth, 102—459; Fortieth, 201—691; Forty-first, 125—841; Forty-second, 33—293; 'Forty-third, 30—348; Forty-fourth, 62—536; Forty-fifth, 80—395. The total of the Thirty-fifth District, minus two nights not reported, is 430, and the Thirty-eighth, with one night unre- ported, is 288. The total reported is 11,617 and the reports lacking are retied upon to bring the total up to 12,000. The totals by district show where Buck- ley’s greatest strength lies—in the south of Market districts. = During the week the district cngvusins committees are supposed to revise an purge the rolls and the primary committee will be nightly at 20 Ellis street decidin, and overseeing things. Several factional contests in districts are expected to loom up. Yesterday a call was issued by Acting Chairman Joseph Rothschild fora meeting of the general committee at B’nai B'rit| Hall on Thursday evening. This will be the last meeting or the last but one before the election of a new eneral committee at the primary on § anuary 1L NEW TO-DAY. TOYS ' —_—AT— Grocers’ Profits A GOOD VARIETY.
