Proceedings for tne HKevocation of Its Charter. CHICAGO, It Jan. 11.—In the Circuit Court to-day Attorney-General Moloney began proceedings to annul the charter of the National Linseed Oil Company on the ground that it is a trust, operating in vio- lation of the anti-trust laws of the State. The company, which controls the linseed oil business in the United States, com- ises corporations representing an aggre- apital of §18,000,000. The general offices of the company are in this city, Alexander Euston being presi- dent and T. G. McCulloch secretary and treasurer. The proceedings are in the na- ture of a petition for leave to file a writ of guo warranto against the concern to show cause why its charter should not be for- feited. CIRRUPTION 1S RAMPANT Chicago’s Citizens Determined to Purge the Government of the City. IAifairs Run by a Machine and Alder- men Do Business by Selling Their Votes. CHICAGO, IvrL., Jan.31.—A meeting of 250 of Chicago’s most prominent citizens was held to-day to devise means for purg- ing the city government of corruption. It was agreed to forn a municipal league, and at a meeting which is to be held next Saturday, it is expected a new and inde- pendent party will be formed. The general sentiment seemed to be that the affairs of the city are run by a machine; that the City Aldermen make a business of selling their votes in the City Couneil, and that the entire municival government is rotten all the way through. It is believed that the committee will recommend the formation of a separate and distinet party to take the affairs of the city in its own hands. e CLOVERDALE'S FAIR.

NEVADA, CaL., Jan. 11.—Burglaries are frequent bere of late, and the police seem unable to stop them. Last night thieves entered L. Hyman & Co.’s store and stole about $300 worth of clothing and blankets. An attempt was made to enter . Freud’s dwelling, but the thieves were frightened off by the screams of the servant girl, PICOHEIGHTS THEFT, Four Youths Arrested for Looting a Postoffice and : Grocery. STAMPS CARRIED AWAY. Precocious Youngsters Who Have Evoked the Wrath of Uncle Sam. FACING THE PENITENTIARY. Partiality to Sweetmeats Gave an Officer a Clew that Landed Them in Jail. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Jan. 11.—A quar- tet of precocious youngsters were delivered into the hands of United States authorities by the Sheriff this morning. = They are Daniel Crandall, Joseph Szarfarinski, Jo- seph Kasisgorch and Bert Hill. These poys live in Pico Heights and have been a terror to that community for many a moon. Their ages vary from 13 summers, seen by the youngest, to 15, the oldest. The Pico Heights postoffice was entered and robbed Tuesday night. As the post- office is located in a grocery store, the boys not only meddled with the effects of Uncle Saw, but concerned themselves with the property of the grocer. At first it was supposed that the burg- lary was committed by professional cracks- men, but Under Sheriff Clement, on inves- igating and finding broken pieces of candy and sweetmeats lyirg about in con- fusion and profusion, jumped at the con- clusion that the burglary was the work of boys, and very bad boys at that. Just before the Federal authorities took charge of him this morning, Joseph Szarfarinski intimated to Sheriff Russ that he desired to make a confession. This he proceeded to do in writing, and impli- cated the balance of the quartet. The theft of the stamps is a serious offense against the Government, and will likely send the boys to the penitentiary. - RECEIVED FATAL BURNS. A Woman’s Costly Attempt to Save Valu- avles From Fire. LOS ANGELES, Cin, Jan. 11.—An alarm of fire turned in from the plaza this afternoon called the depariment to a house at 225 Marchessault street, kept by a woman known as May Williams. The blaze in itself was insignificant and was speedily extinguished. It is supposed that hot sun rsys ignited some matches lying on the window-sill, the lace curtains caught fire and scorched the walls and damaged the furniture, If that were all the loss would scarcely be worth the telling, but Mav Williams herself, in her efforts to save some valu- ables she thought were in danger, was burned so severely that it seems almost certain that she cannot survive. The woman was in the hands of a hair- dresser when a man rushed to the house and said smoke was coming from one of the windows. She rushed to the room in- dicated and saw the curtains and the lounge underneath the window in flames. Desiring to save a small desk containing all her papers and jewelry, she attempted to drag it out of the room. While doing s0 a bottle of lucine tbat was standing on the top of the desk exploded, drenching her dress with the liquid. The flames seemed to leap to the light material of which her clothing was com- posed, and in an instant they enveloped her. She rushed into the hall, and the colored servant had wit enough to snatch up a rug and wrap it about the agonized woman. A doctor was speedily in attendance, and found that the lower portion of her face and her entire body was badly burned. It is extremely improbable that the suf- ferer can last many hours, much less re- cover from the terrible shock 1n addition to the terrible burns received. SONOMA COUNTY'S GOLD, District Attorney Butts Says Treasurer Woodward Must Guard It. Supervisors Have the Power to Erect New Vaults to Contain the Public Moneys. SANTA RUSA, Car., Jan. 11.—Assistant District Attorney Butts filed with the Board of Bupervisors to-day a written opinion defining the powers of the board in regard to taking steps for the future safety of public money. County Treasurer Woodward had applied to the board for relief in the matter, suggesting three plans, viz.: To hire guards and keep the money in the county safe; to make arrangements with some local bank to receive the funds as special deposits; or 4o improve the present vault or build a new one that would afford safe protection for money in the Treasurer’s charge. The opinion holds that the board has no authority either to hire guards or make arrangements with a banking institution. “The law is just the same now,” it de. clares, *‘as when the Treasurer took his oath of office. At that time he agreed to safely care for funds intrusted to his keep- ing, and if guards are hired or arrange- ments made with banks it must be at the Treasurer's expense and not at the county’s,” Regzarding the third plan, the District Atrorney says the board has full power to erect a new vault or remodel the old one, or take any steps the board may see fit to afford proper protection to the county’s treasure. AL gie o FOKECLOSURE SUIT BEGUN. Thirty-Eight Gianella Ranch BSettlers May Lose Their Homes. SANTA ROSA, CAL., Jan. 11.—A big suit for foreclosure of mortgage was filed here to-day. The plaintiff 1s Mrs. G. Gianella, and she sues to recover $55,000 loaned on a mortgage secured by 2680 acres of land in Los Guilicos Valley and formerly known as the Gianella ranch. The mortgage was executed in D ecem- ber, 1891 Over $5000 interest has accrued since the execution. The defendants are thirty-eight in number and reside on the property given as security for the loan. et RIVERSIDE'S ORANGE CROP. One-Quarter of the Scason’s Xield Has Been Shipped. RIVERSIDE, CaL., Jan. 11.—One-quar- ter of the orange crop of this vicinity has been shipped. The shipments to date have been nearly 700 carloads, and the fruit is going forward at an average rate of forty carloads daily, of which amount the exchange is shipping more than half. The shipments to date are largely in excess of those during the same season in previous years, A MOUNT EDEN'S QUARREL. School Trustes Meininger Requested to Resign From Office. MOUNT EDEN, Cir., Jan. 11.—The Chul:ge! made by School Trustee Meinin- ger in THE CALL of January 3, in which he stated that the recent indignation mass- meeting and re-election of Mr. Rowlands as principal of the Mount Eden school were part of a conspiracy to rein him politieally; that Mr. Rowlands fought him and did his best to defeat him at the last June elec- tion for Trustee, and that Mr. Rowlands spent much time loitering about saloons, was the subject of censuring resolutions adopted at a mass-meeting of citizens held here on January 5, when Trustee Mein- inzer was requested to resign. The resolutions recite that the “taxpay- ers of this district and patrons of the school, in mass meeting assembled. do de- clare the above charges false and untrue, and are made by Mr. Meininger to gratify his personal spite against Mr. Rowlands and to ruin his character if he can, and is an insult to the people of this community, more than nine-tenths of whom signed a etition requesting the Trustees to retain r. Rowlands as teacher, and who we declare would not have attached their names to that petition had he been guilty of loitering about saloons.” Continuing, it is resolved that “we de- clare Mr. Meininger as School Trustee does not represent the interests of his con. stituents, and request that he resign his office.” T0 LEAE WARE ISLAND The Monterey Ordered to San Francisco to Enlist Recruits. Future Destination of the Monitor Unknown to Men at the Navy-Yard. VALLEJO, Car., Jan. 11.—Orders were received from the Navy Department to-day to send the monitor Monterey to San Fran- cisco on Tuesday. She will remain there a short time for the purpose of shipping thirty-one men to make up the ship’s complement. The number to be shipped includes machinists, coppersmiths, ordi- nary seamen, landsmen, coxswains of boats and first-class gunners’ mates who are capzble of nning the dynamos and electric-light plant. The commanding officer of the monitor has power to run the ship over to Sausa- lito, but he is instructed to keeo Rear Ad- miral Beardslee, at San Diego with the flagship Philadelphia, constantly advised regarding the movements of the monitor, and the progress made in the matter of sbip{sing men for her. Itis probable that the Monterey will join the Admiral at San Diego just as soon as the men are shipped. The monitor is fitted up with provisions for a long season out,and has put on board 180 tons extra of picked coal. No one is aware of her destination_after leav- ing San Francisco or San Diego. Her commander, Captain Theodore Kane, 1s on the sick list, and she will go to San Francisco Bay under command of Lieu- tenant-Commander A. V. Wadham, who 1s a thorough naval off On or about the 1st of the month Captain Kane will be relieved of his command by Captain Harringion. The monitor is in first-class fighting con- dition, with a crew czmposed of men who understand all the working machinery and various parts of the ship to perfection. Lol PREDICTED AT STOCKTON. No Surprise Occasioned by the Ret Superintendent Wilbu STOCKTON, Car., Jan. 11.—The an- nouncement to-day that John S. Wilbur had been superseded by W. C. Eads as superintendent ot construction of the Val- ley railroad occasioned no surprise here, as the friction between Mr. Wilbur and Henry Vogelsang was expected to culmi- nate in trouble for the superintendent. Since Mr. Vogeisang was discharged from the road by Mr. Wilbur-lis friends have been active in his behalf, and the superin- tendent’s animosity to the engineer was so marked as to lead many familiar with the situation to conclude that personal prefer- ences had a great deal to do with the make-up of the personnel of the forces working under Mr. Wilbur. Since the last visit of the Valley railroad directors to this city a_quiet investigation into the workings of the headquarters here has been going on and it is evident that Mr. Wilbur’s course in discharging Mr. Vogelsang so summarily was not ap- proved. Mr. Wilbur has been an ener- getic worker and has accomplished a great deal of work in a short time. He declines to discuss the reasons for his discharge and says he will step cut at once. This was pay day in the various depart- ments of the Valley railroad and over $5000 was distributed among tne men. All time checks were honored at var value and some very lively times are to be seen in the city to-night and in the various camps along the line of the railroad. ing of e NEEDLES GOL'D STRIKE. Remarkable Find Reported From the Queen of the Night Mine. NEEDLES, Cav., Jan. 13.—The Needies Eye to-day said: While Jn&es Patton and Al Powell were doing sonie develop- ment work on the Queen of the Night mine they opened a very rich vein of free quartz and free gold. The gold runs through the quartz, very few barren spots to be seen. Nothing of the kind has ever been found here since the district was formed. The celebrated Montgomery dis- trict can’t surpass this ore. The qunrtz is what mining men call “healthy’ Turtz, and old-timérs ‘‘hamfat.” The lowest estimate of the ore is §$1000. and some put it at §$20,000 per ton. The owners feel jubilant over their find, and well they may. Chey are worthy of it and will soon be on “velvet.” 1Itisa good thing for the camp. It makes the outlook encouraging. Zroes VALLEX FLOOD, Farmers Threatened With an Inunda- tion of Their Lands. PORT TOWNSEND, Wass., Jan. 11.— Quilcene Valley, twenty-six miles from here, has been threatened by a flood dur- ing the past four days, and the Sheriff has been sent for to bring blasting powder and straighten out the course of the Quilcene River by blasting stumps along the shore to prevent a blockade of debris. Last year a flood at Quilcene destroyed thousands of dollars worth of Property and rendered many people homeless, and the warm wave of the past few days is again causing apprehension among resi- dents of the fertile valley, two fine farms being already reported overflowed.

HIS RULING REVERSED. General Manager Kruttschnitt Observes a Brotherhood Decision, YIELDS TO THE EMPLOYES. A Final Settlement of the Engineer Stevens Case Has Been Reached. SACRAMENTO, Carn, Jan. 11.—The Sunday News will print the following to- morrow: J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific has been overruled and the Broth- erhood of Locomotive Engineers has thereby eained a signal victory. It wasall done by General Manager Kruttschniit. Last August a misunderstanding arose between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Fillmore over the latter's action in placing Engineer Stevens on a run to which, under the laws of the brather- hood, he was not entitled. It seems that Stevens had abandoned his run out of Sac- ramento for a position on the new coast division. Under the recognized rules he thereby forfeited his place on the rolls here of engi- neers eligible to promotion. But Stevens returned and, making application, was duly reinstated on his old run, in direct contravention of the old rule. When complaint was made to Mr. Fill- more it is said that he tola the committee that the railroad company was hiring men as it pleased and that therefore it proposed to keep Stevens in the position to which he had last been assigned. The engineers were never satisfied with this, and delegates from the brotherhood were called from different parts of the country to endeavor to induce the corpor- ation to overrule Filimore's decision. It is claimed that Fillmore was upheld in his action by A. N. Towne, but upon the ad- vent of Kruttschnitt there was a renewed effort to effect a reconsideration of the former decision. The new railrond manager seems to be a favorite with such employes as have had personai relations with him. Unlike Fill- more, he is willing to listen to reason and give patient hearing to the men. He heard the statements of the engineers and then decided that the old rule should be upheld to the letter. This decision was forthwith forwarded to Sacramento, and Mr. Stevens, whose ability, by the way, as en engineer was never brought into question, was ordered back to his coast run. His place here was then filled in the regular order of succes- sion, and all is again serene in that de- partment of railroading. Kruttschnitt has cuddenly leaped to a place in the esteem of the railroad work- ers and the whole affair has promoted a better feeling between emplover and em- ploye. s st “CALL” MEN TO CELEBRATE. Subscribers and Agents Will Indulge in a Stag Party. SACRAMENTO, Car., Jan. 11.—Homer Smith, a prominent merchant of the bustling community of Florin and the recognized agent of THE CALL in that vicinity, intends giving a stag party Thursday night to all his subseribers for Tue CArL and the paper’s representatives from neighboring towns. The Sacramento agents, canvassers and correspondents will attend in a body. Mr. Smith is an enthusiast, in so far as for- warding the interest of Tur CALLis con- cerned, and the paper has made many warm friends in Florin. CARSON PLOTTERS FOILED. Failure of an Attempt to Secure a Mint Case Witness' Incarceration for Insanity. CARSON, NEv., Jan. 11.—An apparent effort to put a strong witness for the Gov- ernment into a position where he could not testify in the mint cases failed to-aay. Joseph Langevin, who testified to having been bribed by Heney’s friends to leave the country, had been arrested yesterday on a charge of insanity and his trial came up to-day. He was acquitted after a short ex- amination. General Clarke, the leading counsel in the cases for the Government, reached the city just in time to appear for Langevin in conjunction with Judge Healy. = Judge Hawley of the United States court and ex- Governor Adams testified for the defense. Doctors Herrick and Yox appeared as the Insanity Commissioners. STANFORD'S ENROLLMENT, Rigid Examinations Have Created Many Vacancies in the Ranks. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Caw., Jan. 11.—The registration for this semester up todate is 860 students, while the enroll- ment for the vear numbers about 1070. The registrar has no doubc that a half hundred more will be added to the list be- fore the half ends. This would make the attendance greater than ever before in the history of the institution. Itis made more apparent each day that the examinations of last semester were too much for scores of students and these have fallen by the wayside. It is pretty gen- erally understood that the faculty is de- sirous of raising the scolarship here by weeding out those who are unable to mai NEW TO-DAY.

VICTORIA, B. C., Jan. 11.—Superl'n- tendent Hussey of the Provincial Police returned from Union this afternoon, where he had been investigating a report received by him from Detective Ellis respecting the statement of a miner named George Gra- ham. The miner's story was to the effect that the exviosion which destroyed the residence of Alexander Sharp at Welling- ton on March 13, 1894, was caused by four miners who came down_from Union a few days before that date. It is almost certain that had Sharp been sitting in the front art of the house, as was his usual custom, Ee would have been instantly killed. g Informant Graham is personally impli- cated to some extent with the four dyna- miters. He stated he was present when the explosion took place and was within 100 yards of the premises, and that he knew the persons concerned, though he bad nothing to do with the discharge of the bomb. Ellis comniunicated with Consiable Hutcheson, who in_turn_laid the matter before Buperintendent Hussey. Before the latter arrived the Union informant be- came alarmed at the possible consequences of the confession and was making active preparations to leave when arrested with another miner named Allen, apprehended at the same time on suspicion of com- Bncny in_the outrage. The evidence of etective Ellis was taken last night, and both Graham and Allen were remanded for eight days pending further inquiry. Graham is said to have given away the identity of the persons connected with the plot. BERENDA’S WILD MAN. Jolhn OBMara Pursues His Wife With a Butcher's Cleaver.
