4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1896. THE NEWS OF - L0S ANGELES, Fred McCoy Wants Pay for the Loss of His Wife's Affections. WATER SUIT DECIDED. National City Wins Litigation Started by a San Diego Company. WORKMEN FOR SAN PEDRO. The Action Taken at a Session of the County Council of Labor. LEOS ANGELES, CAn, May 4.—After several wordy confliots, and at least one personal encounter on the street here be- tween Fred McCoy of this city and B. F. Williams, a damage suit was filed this morning by McCoy against Williams for $25,000. . McCoy claims that Wilhams has alienated his wife’s affections; thatshe has left him and refuses to treat him as her husband. This is a very sad circumstance, but the language with which M¢Coy’s attorney de- tails how this was done is peculiarly dis- tressing. He says: “The said defendant, contriving and wrongfully, wickedly and not having the fear of God hefore his eyes, ana unjustly intending to injure the eaid plaintiff and to deprive him of the com- fort, fellowship, society, aid and as- sistance of his, the plaintiff’s wife, Lulu McCoy, then and there and on many divers, occasions, with many and divers letters sent to her, the said Lulu McCoy, by said defendant, then and there, and with many blandishments and endearing words of love and sympathy to her, the said Lulu McCoy, addressed then and there with many beguiling promises of help in money and means, promised to the said Lulu McCoy by the said defendant, and with various and many attentions, Sa" e NATIONAL CIT® WINS. Decision in a Suit Brought by a San Diege Water Company. LOS ANGELES, Can, May 4.—Judge Ross of the United States Circuit Court handed down an opinion this morning in the case of the San Diego Land and Town Company vs. the City of National City et al. The Board of Trustees of National City established by ordinance the rates at which the corporation should furnish the | city and its inhabitants with water for the year commencing July 1, 1895, and ending July 1, 189. The complainant began suit to have it adjudged that the provision of the constie tution and laws of California under which the trustees fixed the rates were in viola- ion of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States; that the rates be annulled, or, in the event that the court should determine that the pro- visions in question did not contravene the Federal constitution, then that the rates be decreed arbitrary, unreasonable, unjust and void and the board required to adopt new and reasonable rates of charres. Judge Ross holds that the complainant company cannot come into the State and ac%ulreils rights under the constitution and then treat as void the same provisions where they impose burden in conrection with those rights. After deciding against the constitutional contention of the com- plainant the court discusses the reason- ableness of the charges fixed by the trus- tees and decides that the complainant has no just cause of action. ‘ The evidence showed that the rates es- tablished were satisfactory on previous oc- casions to the company, except that they did not allow for the “water right.”) This was the bone of contention between the company and the consumers and city an- thorities, and Judge Ross holds it is with- out valid basis. The bill is ordered dis- missed at complainant’s cost. s ir BHRIMP NINE INCHES LONG. Grow to an Enormous Size on the Coast Near Long Beach. LOS ANGELES, Cav., May 4.—A region of the coast near Long Beach has been discovered where that delicacy peculiar to California, the shrimp, grows to enormous size.

Howard Sentenced to Die for Murdering Martini de la Nina. The Victim Slain Becaus: He Would Not Pay for Liquor Bought by Howard. VIBALIA, Car., May 4.—John E. How- ard was to-day sentenced by Jndge Gray of the Superior Court to be hanged at Folsom on July 17, between the hours of 9 and 2 o'clock. Howard was convicted on August 11, 1894, of the murder of Martini de la Nina, an Italian laborer, in Tulare, on the evening of June 16 of the same year. Howard claimed to be in the employ of the City Marshal of Tulare, and was in the | habit of sleeping in a house run by two negresses. On the day of the murder Howard went across to the Hotel Europa and got some wine, Nina vouching for the pay. Howard took the wine to the ne- gresses, and after drinking it with them went back for more. He wanted Nina to stand good for the payment of this second installment, and upon the latter’s refusal shot him, killing him instantly. At the trial perjured testimony was in- troduced in the interest of Howard, and later John Sayers was convicted of per- jury and sentenced to serve eight years in the venitentiary. Another witness was believed to have committed perjury, but the evidence was considered insufficient to convict him on that charge. He was subsequently convicted of illegal registra- tion. Howard appealed from the judg- ment entered in the lower court, but the Supreme Court affirmed the judgment. Howard was taken to Folsom to-night. SR QUIET AT WEAVERVILLE.

BAN JOSE, CaL., May 4.—The Post of American Volunteers, recently organized in this city, is industriously and earnestly pushing its work and meeting with much success.

Rief, assisted by A. W. Kennedy and B. F. Bailey, and is now fully organized with a complete complement of local officers, Arrangements have been made with Cap- tain James Smith, formerly an esteemed officer in the Balvation Army, now living in Sutter County, to take charge of the gost until officers are sent from the East y Commander Booth, which will be in about a month, at which time a number of other posts will be opened on the coast. Captain Smith will take charge in a few days, and as he was formerly stationed in San Jose and made many friends here, it 1s expected he will prove a valuable worker in the volunteer movement.

Judge Daingerfield’s Decision Causes Consternation Among the Consumers. SANTA ROSA, OAL., May 4.—The long- looked-for opinion of Judge Daingerfield in the famous case of Mock vs. The City of Banta Rosa was filled to-day. The decision of the court is adverse to the city. It grants the plaintiff’s petition for an inter- locutory injunction restraining the city from accepting the new water works. The motion to strike out portions of the com- plaint is denied and the demurrer in the case overruled, the defenaants being given ten days in which to answer. 4 It is'held in the opinion that the bidding was not competitive; that the bids of Gar- ratt & Co. for $164,900 and that of Robert Effey, the successiul bidder, were substan- tially in the same handwriting; that Effey’s bid was based upon many matters of hisown not in the plans of Mr. Mon- jean, the engineer who designed the works. Thereare more than 500 tappings now made with the new works, and there is gome consternation among consumers to know what the result will be. The Judge deals with this in the opinion by sayving that if hardship results in ln{pll’tlculnr instance the answer is that the law was glaln at the outset, and that all men who eal with municipal corporations are con- clusively presumed to know the law.

The AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CALIFORNIA, Delegates to the St. Louis Convention Should Not Be Pledged. STATESMEN S0 STATE. Senator Perkins Says It Is a Golden Chance for the State’s Recognition. TACTICS OF THE M'KINLEY MEN - They Circulate a Report That Quay Has Withdrawn From the Candidacy. WASHINGTON, D.C., May 4.—There was & rumor put forth to-night to the effect that Senator Quay had withdrawn from his Presidential candidacy. It was surmised by some shrewd politicians that this report might have been circulated in order to influence the California Kepubli- can Convention, which meets at Sacra- mento to-morrow. General J. 8. Clarkson said to a CALL correspondent to-night: “Senator Quay has not withdrawn and has no intention of doing so. The object of putting out such a report is obvious to all. The McKinley managers are making a great effort to have it appear that Mc- Kiniey has a ‘cinch’ on the nomination, and that other candidates will withdraw so that States yet to select delegates may be influenced to instruct for McKinley. Mr. McKinley not only has not enough votes to nominate him, but if he should secure every one of the 132 delegates yet to be selected he could not win on the first ballot, and unless he can win on the first his strength will go to pieces. McKinley will not be nominated, you may depend upon it. “The California and Pacific Coast people never had a better opportunity to make themselves felt in the National Conven- tion than they have now by sending un- pledged delegates. If they do this they will certainly hold the balance of power in the convention. “It is a significant fact that the Demo- cratic press is almost unanimous for Mec- Kinley’s nominatian. They realize that his nomination is their only salvation.” The ‘“‘combination’” formed against Me- Kinley is the talk of Washington to-day. No one doubts that such a combin-tion has been formed. The conference between Clarkson, Fessenden, Quay and Allison yesterday and the statement given out by Mr. Platt in New York leave no doubt but that the friends of all the other candi- dates have combined against the Ohio mean. It will be a repetition of the famous convention when Grant came so near be- ing nominated, but lacked a few votes. The opponents of McKinley declare posi- tively that he cannot be nominated on the first ballot, and that his following will desert him after the first vote. A prominent Republican United States Senator said to THE CALL correspondent to-day: “Major McKinley's weak point lies in the fact that he has no apparent *| convictions on the currency question. He cannot be brought down to a concrete ap- plication ot his faith. His views on the question are apparently embodied in the last statement he made in the House when the Sherman silver bullion bill was under discussion, when he said that whatever money we have must be based on both gold and silver and must represent the best money 1n the world. “‘He is apparently an opponent of both the free coinage proposition and the gold standard propositicn, In fact, I do not believe he knows himself exactly where he stands on the currency question. The tariff is his hobby and he can see nothing but that around the -whole political hori- son. If heis suddenly called upon at the convention this summer to tell just where he stands as regards money some interest- ing developments may follow that will change the whole aspect of the political situation.” General Clarkson declared to TrE CALL correspondent to-night that eighteen or twenty of the Ohio delegates would desert McKinley at the first opportunity. Senator Perkirs said to THE CALL corre- spondent to-night: ‘“McKinley's chances have been in the ascendant of late, but I think it would be a great mistake for our convention to instruct the California dele- gates. Itis true that I am iriendly to Mr. Alligon’s candidacy, but aside from this I believe that now is our golden oppor- tunity to secure recognition for California by sending uninstructod delegates.” it g Silver’s Strength in Towa. OTTUMWA, Jowa, May 4.—Secretary Walsh of the State Democratic Central Committee said this afternoon: “I have | official reports from twenty-three lowa counties 1 which delegate conventions have been held, and with only two or three exceptions the delegates have been instructed for free silver. The counties reporting so far voted in 1895 at Marshall- town, 105 votes for silver and 139 against. At Dubuque this year these counties will give 143 votes for silver and 62 against. This year silver has a voting strength of 69 per cent and gold 31 per cent.” e They Farvor Eussell. BOSTON. Mass., May 4.—James H. Corbett and Samuel K.

LONDON, Exa., May 4.—The Daily News will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Constantinople which gives the gist of an official report that was written at the end of March, stating that after Bairam Pasha, Vali of Bitlis, had summoned the Arme- nian notables to appear before him, four Turkish sheiks denounced the mission- aries, especially Rev. George P. Knnpg, as baving caused all the trouble and blood- shed in the vilayet. The Vali “fi:d the notables to telegraph to the Porte, fginz it to expel all the American missionaries. This the Arme- nians refused to do, argning that the charges were false and could be easily dis- proved. The Vali was infuriated by their refusal, but afterwara calmed down and urge them to reconsider their refusal. There- upon the Armenians summoned a meet- ing, at which all present, with the excep- tion of two persons, decided to adhere to the refusal. FIERCE RIOTS [N PERSIA, Scenes of Great Disorder Follow the Assassination of the Shah. Record of the Fanatic Who Fired the Fafal Shot at the Shrine. LONDON, Exc., May 4.—The Times will to-morrow publish a dispatch from Te- heran saying that there has been rioting at Shiras, the capitat of the province of Fars, The bazaars were closed and a strong guard was placed sbout the bank, as it was feared that the mob would at- tempt to loot it. Quantities of merchan- dise were stolen from shops in the vicinity of the bank. An attempt was made Sunday night to loot the Jewish quarter, but the Jews were prepared to defend their property and drove the mob off with volleys of stones. The Shah has forvidden the closing of shops in Teheran. TEHERAN, Persia, May 4.—The man who shot and killed the Shah, Nazr-ed-Din, on Friday is a middle-aged follower of the well-known agitator, Djemal-ed-Din, who was exiled from Persia in 1891 for sub- versive teachings. The assassin, whose name as previously stated is Mollah Reza, was subsequent to Djemal-ed-Din’s expulsion imprisoned for similar practices, but was released by order of the Shah and finally pensioned. He confessed that he waited two months for an opportunity to kill the Shah. He frequently approached him in disguise, but was unable to carry out his designs. Lately he learned from’ his nieces, who were domestics in the Shah’s harem, of the S8hah's intention to visit the shrine of Shah Abdul Azim for devotional purposes. He then decided to attempt to kill him and went to the shrine on Igrldny, where, aftera_little difficulty, he gained admis- sion. - He then waited for the Bhah to approach, and as he did so fired at and fatally wounded him, as detailed in the previous dispatches. The assassin says it was his intention to commit suicide immediately after 8hoot- ing the Bhah, but he was seized too quickly. He has given the names of eight persons who, he alleges, were his ac- complices. FATE OF CARSON'S BULLION THIEF. John T. Jones W111 Spendv, Eight Years in a Penitentiary. FINED 85000 BESIDES, Affecting Scene When He Bids His Wife and Babes a Farewell. PUTS ON A CONVICT'S GARB He Is Taken to Prison Without De. lay and Begins a Life in Captivity. CARSON, NEev., May 4. —Sentence was to-day passed on John T. Jones, convicted of stealing bullion from the United States mint. He will serve eight years in the penitentiary and pay a fine of $5000: There was standing-room only when thé court was called to order. The convicted man entered with Warden Henderson and took the place he had occupied during thé trial. When orcered to stand up he arose and faced the court with all the composure he could muster. Judge Hawley spoke for about twenty minutes, and in the course of his remarks said : “ How different to-day is the feeling ot this community from what it was at the time the mint trials first commenced: Speaking generally, at that time the feel- ing of the community as expressed in the public press of the county—a portion of it at least—and in the community was that this was not a prosecution buta persecu- tion on the part of the Government of the United States; that the trial would be a farce; that nobody would be convicted. “In the early commencemeni of the trial every interest that could be brought. to bear was exercised in behalf of the accused of condoning the offense. Even fraud, perjury, bribery and corruption were brought to bear to influence and con- trol the court and control the community: Through it all the pfficers of the court were to some extent abused; honest wit- nesses endeavoring to tell the truth in a court of justice were abused. To-day the majesty of the law stands vindicated, The-ends of justice have been reached.” There was a dead silence in the court- room during the Judge’s talk. Jones stood motionless, and toward the last his eyes filled and he seemed ready to break down, but he braced himself by a strong effort and made no sign. After sentence had been progounced, Detective Gallaher and Deputy Marshal Holbrook walked with Jones to nis residence, where he took final leaye of his family. His wife and four children, ranging from 4 to 9 years of age, bade him farewell. = 1t was a very affecting scene, for all were. weeping bitterly—even the youngest, who could not comprehend what it all meant; cried with the rest from sympatny. The officers then accompanied Jones to Raycrait's livery stable, where Warden Henderson was ready with a team and Jones was driven to the State prison, where he was dressed in a striped suit and, began the life of a convict.
