4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1896. - COAST POPULISTS WILL NOT FUSE. Great Consternation Among Democrats and Silver Men. REFUSED. OVERTURES Ex-District Attorney Dillon of Los Angeles Is Out for Congress. PEOPLE’S PARTY INDEPENDENT | A Socialistic Orator Challenges Stephen M. White to a Political Debate. LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 8lL—Lead- ing members of the Silver party of this Congressional district have been in con- ference here to-day with Democratic dele- gates to the Ventura convention in the hope of devising some plan for a fusion of all the anti-Republican factions in order to defeat Nominee McLachlan. The acticn | of the Populists yesterday in declaring for ! independence and a nominee of their own | has created consternation in' the Silver | and Democratic ranks, for it is well known that without united action Congressman McLachlan is sure of re-election. Ex.District Attorney Dillon is pretty sure of the Populist nomination. Dillon isa strong and able man, but the Demo- crats insist that this is their year to name | the nominee, and thst the Populists are acting in bad faith with their amiable neighbors and former coadjutors, when Marion Cannon was nominated and sub- sequently indorsed by the Democrats in the interest of Senator White. The silver men made little or no progress in favor of their pet theory for a union of forces. e e SOCIALISTIC GULDBUGS. Job Harriman Throws Down the Gaunt- let to White and Berry. LOS ANGELES, CaL., July 3L—The socialists of this county occupy a unique position on the money question. They are about the only organization of laborersin | this community who are stanch support- ers of the single gold standard. Job Har- riman, who some months ago conducted a debate with Congressman Meaguire in Metropolitan Temple, 8an Francisco. is their leading orator and thinker. Mr. Har- | riman issued the following open challenge | here this afternoon: “I bereby challenge | either Hon. Stephen M. Whate or Colonel John R. Berry to a public discussion of | the following question: ‘Wili the free coinage of silver in the United States of America at the ratio of 16to 1 with gold | benefit the wage-earning class? 1 will | negative the ‘subject. espectfully, J. Harriman.” AT A SANTA CLARA DEMOCRATS. Weary of Waiting for Fusionists, They JFill Get Down to Work. SAN JOSE, Cav., July 31.—The Demo- cratic County Central Committee will hold. | a meeting early next week and take steps toward party organization in the county. The delay has been occasioned by the un- settled condition of the National ticket. As there seems to be no hope of .one of the Vice-Presidential candidates being withdrawn, the local Democrats are anxions to perfect the party organization in the county and get down to work. Thomas C. Hogan, chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee, says he has received overtures from a large numver of individual members of the local Populist party to join in cele- brating the ratification of the National Democratic ticket. Chairman Hogan says there is a slight disposition among the Democrats to fuse with the Populists on the National tigket 1f one of the Vice- Presidential candidates 1s droppud, but that no concessions will be made to the Populists on a legislative ticket. =g g | WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS. Planning for Effective Campaign Work in Southern Californid. LOS ANGELES, Car., July 381..—The different woman suffrage committees of Southern Californis, it is understood, are planning to do some very effective cam- paign work in behalf of the eleventh amendment by forming allied women’s clubs to the old parties. The plan, it is argued, will be perfectly consistent, owing to the fact that the Republicans, Populists and Prohibitiohists all put a woran-suf- frage plank in their State platforms, and that while the Democracy refused this, many of the delegates from this end of the State favored it and are stanch support- ers of the movement. It is considered *‘good politics” to work in connection with instead of independent of the pres- ent organized political parties. | AN ABANDONED KAILROAD. Souhern Californians to Protest Before the State Commissioners. SAN DIEGO, Cav., July 3i.—SBuperin- tendent Thompson of Riverside County, representing Elsinore, Temecula and other portions of hiscounty on the old Temecnla branch af the Southern Cali- fornia Railroad, has arrived to appear be- fore the State Board of Railroad Commis- sioners to-morrow in the matter of the | protest of various committees against the | action of the railroaa company in aban- doning the line after a washout several vears ago. Delegations have also arrived from Fallbrook and other towns on the abandoned route, and will testify before the Commissioners. The prir~ipal com- plaint has been made by property-owners of this city, who allege that the railroad company has been guilty of breach of con- tract in abandening the road. ——— OREGON'S FIERCE FOREST FIRES 2howsands of Cords of Wood Consumed and Towns Threatened. PORTLAND, Or., July 31.—Word is re- ceived from Oak Point, fifty miles down the river, that u fierce forest fire is raging in the canyon there. . Between 1000 and 1200 cords of wood be- longing to Hogue & Young have already been destroyed. It is supposed that the fire was started from the campfire of some fishermen up the creek. The wind is now blowing the fire back from the river, but should it change to the north again Benson’s timber and logging camp and Oak Foint itself will be in great danger.

Result of the Coroner’s Inquest Held at Nevada City. NEVADA CITY, Cav., July 3L.—At the Coroner’s inquest to-day in the case of the late Sheriff Douglass it developed that a 44-caliber rifle shell was found yesterday afternoon thirty-five feet from where the dead Sherif’sbody lay. It is thought that it was fired by a pal of the dead robber, and that he stood behind a tree while shooting. The Coroner’'s jury returned a verdict that *‘Sheriff Douglass came to his death frem a gunshot wound inflicted by some one unknown to the jury, an accom- plice of the dead robber.” The officersare still looking for the fugitive robber, and it is understood that they have strong evi- dence against a party who is supposed to be in this neighborhood. ety Jumped From a Tratn Near Lodi.

TALE OF SHAGES SPRNGS Thrilling Adventure of a Santa Rosan With a Buck He Had Wounded. Tossed on the Antlers of His Prey, but Saved From Death by His Knife. SANTA ROSA, CaL., July 31.—A tale of adventure from Skaggs Springs, in which an angry buck deer and a badly frightened hunter were the principals, is related by ex-Sheriff John F. Mulgrew. It seems that Bob Mason, a mighty hun- ter of Northern Sonoma, had wounded a fine male deer, and according to custom the animal made its way to the deepest pool of water in Squaw Creek. The hun- ter followed rapidly and in his great haste stumbled and fell into the pool witk the crippled buck. The frenzied animal lost no time in making a vicious attack on the hunter, who managed to crawl upon a loz. The deer swam directly up to the log and, lowering his big antlers, tossed man and log high into the air. The hunter’s rifle lay at the bottom of the pool, but he still had a razor-edged butcher knife to aid him in his fight for life, and when he descended from his aerial flight he used the keen weapon with good effect. Another terrific charge from the buck sent the hunter high in air again and landed him behind his antagonist in the water. From this point of yantage he was able to straddle the animal’s back; and, reaching over, drew the keen edge of his knife across the creature’s throat. Mason was completely exhausted when found by Mr. Mulgrew and required as- sistance in getting home.s The buck was a four-pointer and dressed 132 pounds. VA SR, NEW ENGLANDERS PICNIC. Old-Fashioned Jollification at Argyll Park, Santa Rosa. SANTA ROSA, CaL., July 31.—The third annual reunion and picnic of the New Englanders of Sonoma County was cele- brated at Argyll Park to-day. A large crowd of the “Yankee born” was present, including many people from the principal county towns. A genuine old-fashioned dinner was served at noon, including Bos- ton baked beans, brown bread and all of the other good things that go to make up the “‘down-East dinner.” The day’s plea: ure ended in an, old-fashioned ‘sugar frolic” in which the New England custom of “‘sugaring down’’ was imitated by pour- ing boiling maple syrup on large bfl)cks ot ice, and as it hardened into cakes many eager young swains risked a scorching of fingers in their haste to convey the hot sweets to the waiting ladies. E. D. Sweet- zer acted as master of ceremonies, and the Montieth family furnished fine music for the occasion. WHERE I8 P. O’SULLIVANY A Missing San Francisco Bricklayer, Whose Family Is Looking for Him. SANTA ROSA, Cav., July 31.—The fam- ily of P.'8. O'Bullivan was in Santa Rosa to-day searching for a missing husband and father. O'Sullivan is a bricklayer, and left his home in San Francisco two months ago, telling his family he had secured work on a large warehouse that was being constructed on the ranch ot Charles Peterson, seven miles from Santa Rosa. This was the last seen or heard of him, and the family becoming worried journeyed to this ecity.

NEVADA INDIAN EXCITEMENT. Washoe Threaten ;;s Piutes. With Hostili- ties and the Latter Seek White Protection. GOLD HILL, Nxv., Juiy 31.--The Piute residents of this county are intensely ex- cited over the appearance on the outskirts of this town this afternoor of two Washoe Indians, who were armed and evidently bent on mischief, and to-night the Indian village is deserted, the squaws and old Indians having sought protection of the whites in town and the bucks being in the hills on the lookout for trouble. Ever since the killing of a young Piute buck by one of the Washoe tribe, in Reno a few days agoythe old hatred between the two tribes has burned with renewed ferocity and an outbreak has been ex- pected by those whites who know all the circumstances. Still nobody was prepared for the stampede of braves and squaws that occurred shortly before dark this evening, when the procession of squaws and old Piutes scrambled dnto town from the Indian village. 3 The able-bodied ones followed with their worldly goods and the crippled got along as best they could. The bucks took to the hills, and at dusk on the top of every sur- rounding peak might be seen the form of a mounteg sentinel silhouetted against the sky. Although everylhing is quiet at midnight, it is not unlikely that bloodshed will follow to-day’s demonstration. g g THE WARRKIMOO’S FAST TRIP, Brings News of the Earthgquakes én the South Sea Islands, VICTORI1A, B.

Question as to Whether Herman Faber Committed Suicide or Was Acci- dentally Suffocated. Herman Faber, senior member of the firm of Kiefer & Co., liquor-dealers, corner of Battery and Sacramento streets, was found dead in his room at 520 Laguna street last evening at 7 o’clock. Deceased, who had been iil for several days, was ly- ing on the bed, and a steady stream of gas from an open jet was flowing into the room, : + The case is a peculiar one. Leopold M. Faber, father of the dead man, is of the opinion that his son accidentally turned the gas on and then went to bed and to sleep, and in consequence was suffocated. Deputy Coroner Hallett, however, is posi- tive ~that it is a case of suicide, and the parents of the deceased are reticent regarding their son’s death, and considering the manner in which the case was reported to the Coroner the latter theory is in all prob- ability correct. “A man purporting to be u Dr. Buchanan called me by teleohone iast evening at 11 o’clock,” said Deputy Coroner Hallett, “‘and informed me that n:y s:mm were required at 520 Laguna stree! 2 *‘He stated that Herman Faber had been suffocated \:iy gas, either accidentally or that he had. committed suicide. I took my wagon and went out to the .house for the purpose of removing the body to the Morgue. The father was inclined to keep the facts regarding the manner of his son’sdeath secret, “He informed me that I had no au- thority to call at his house at such an un- seemly hour, and told me to call again on the morrow. I then informed him that uniess I was apprised of the facts in the case I would have to remove the body to the Morgue. § “‘He then told me part of the story re- garding the finding of the body and in- sisted that I should leave it in the house. Not wishing to create a scene I did so, bat asked bim to direct me to the physician . Who had been called in at the time the W‘dg ‘Was discovered. “He told me that he called in Dr. Bu- chanan, who lived just across the street. I then scoured the neighborhood in search of adoctor by that name, but none was to be found. "Neither is there a physician by that name in any of the directories or the Cozoner’s list of in this City. It isa peculiar case, mands a thorough investigation.” .

BUSINESS FALLING OFF Black Ryan Uses His Persuasive Elcquence on the * Equalizers. EVASIVE ON SOME QUESTIONS The Board Determines to Pursue the Assessment Methods of Last Year. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 381.—The Pullman Palace-car Company and the Southern Pacific Company appeared be- fore the Board of Equalization to-day. J. P. Meehan, the Pacific Goast manager of the Puliman Company, asked that the taxes on their rolling stock be prorated, taking into consideration the number of cars used between here and Chicago, the number ot miles to Chicago, the number of miles of road upon which the cars oper- ated in California, the value of the cars and the interest of the Southern Pacific Company in the rolling stock. Meehan stated that the company was asseseed for the whole value of the prop- erty in Illinois and retaxed in all the States in which the cars were used. E. Black Ryan appeared for the South- ern Pacific Company, including the lines of the Southern Pacific, Central Pacific, Northern Railway, California Pacific, Northern California Railway, South Pa- cific Coast and Southern California Motor road. Before the discussion of the assessments generally Ryan was asked in regard to the separate assessment asked by the Atlantic and Pacific Company of the Mojave divi- sion. Ryan stated he had no objections if the whole Southern Pacific system was also divided into divisions and assessed inde- pendently. The board determined to pursue the method used last year and assess the branch with the system as a whole. Ryan’s argument for a reduction on the Central Pacific was very short. He stated last year amounted to $78,160, and asked for a re- duction, not specifying the amount asked. J. T. Klink, controller of disbursements, orn and examined as to the gross income per mile of the Southern Pacitic system. The returns showed an income of $6292 per mile in 1895 and $9889 per mile in 1894, The falling off of $3107 per mile Klink accounted for by stating that the ferry earnings were taken into considera- tion in making up the statement of 1894, but not in 1865. Attention was called to the fact that the office and headquarters expenses were re- turned as a whole, while in the specifica- tion made of the ferry’s share in office ex- penses these expenses were subtracted from the gross receipts to produce the net income. Ryan was unable to give a satisfactory answer, merely stating that it was an over- sight. Ryan compared the assessments on par- row-gauge roads throughout the State with that on the South Pacific Coast, showing that the average assessment of roads otber than the SBouth Pacific Coast averaged less than per mile, while that road was assessed at $13,519 19. Ryan will present himself for cross-ex- amination by the board this afternoon. New Oil Discoveries in Coalingo.
