Standard of Preparation Among Applicants Raised by the Rush. POLITICS AT THE COLLEGE. Arrangements Being Made for a Re- publican Celebration in the J Quadrangle. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Aug. 21.—Present indications go to show that the incoming freshman class will be the largest ever received at Stanford. Appli-| cations for attendance bave been pouring in from all sections of the country, from the East especially, and it is ligely that the whole number 6f applicants will reach 1500. It is certain that the present re- sources of the university cannot be stretched to accommodate so large a num- ber, and it is practically certain thatalmost balf the new students will be refused ad- mission. In all cases persons coming with full standing will be preferred to specials, so the outlook for prospective specials is not encouraging. This choosing among applicants will undoubtedly benefit the university, as it will greatly raise the standard of preparation among the mem- bers of the freshman class. President Jor- dan is now in Alaska, and the exact limit of attendance will not be set until his re- turn. Encina and Roble halls will this year be under the charge of two graduate students, O. N. Eaton, '95, and G. B. Wil- son, '96. Formerly the halis were managed on the co-operative plan by a committee chosen by the occupants and by a steward acting under them, 'L'his year the univer- sity will have entire charge of the affairs, with Eaton and Wilson as their agents. Roble Hall will be full, with a number of applications left qver, and Encina, for the first time in " its history, will be nearly if not quite full. If indications count for anything, there is going to be a great deal of political ex- citement at Stanford this year. The uni- versity is largely Republican. The Re- publican club organized last spring began its career with a membership of 250 John M. Switzer and W. H. Irwin, re- spectively president and vice-president, a) rranging for a mammoth Republican rally to be held in the quadrangle shortly after the opening of the university, when Senator Perkins, Irving M. Scott and other promment sound- money advocates will address the students on the issues of the campaign. The Republican clubs of May- field and of Palo Alto are expected to par- | ticipate. Almost all the students will this fall be ranged actively with one party or the other, but the Republicans outnumber the Democrats at least three to one. i Registration commences August 31, and active business will begin with the open- ing of instruction on September 4, ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

HE PASSED THE CUP OF DEATH Fatal Mistake of a Patient in the County Hospital. ONE DEAD, ONE DYING. Instead of a Black Draught He Administers a Deadly Poison. THE NURSE WAS ABSENT Important Duties Left to Ignorant Hands — A Horrible Result. Richard Sherlock, nurse in charge of ward B in the City and County Hospital, caused a fatal accident by his trip down- town yesterday afternoon. He left his dutiesin the hands of a willing but igno- rant patient, and as a result one man lies dead in his hospital cot and another writhes in all the agoniés caused by acute poisoning. The two patients, David Netcher and Thomas Murphy, were to have undergone a delicate operation to-day, and to prepare them for the ordeal Dr. Waller, physician | in charge of the ward, ordered that at | frequent intervals physic be given to them. Hisorders were delivered to Sher- lock, the ward nurse. About half-past 1 0’clock yesterday after- noon Sherlock went to Dr. Dudley, then in charge, and stated that every- thing was all right in his ward and that he had left another nurse in charge. Instead of doing this he had giv- en his medciine closet keys to George Mallaber, a half-blind patient, with instructions to give certain doses to several of the inmates of the ward. Among these were Murpby and Netcher, who were to be given a black draught. When the time came to administer the medicine to Maliaber the two men went to the drug closet and blunderingly picked up a bottle containing the tincture of cocculus indicus, a poison externally used as a linament upon some other pa- tient. In a few minutes Netcher and Murphy were taken directly ill and were soon in convulsions. The physicians were called and every effort put forth to repair the fatal mistake. Netcher died about 5 o’clock, but Murphy revived under the treatment and has a fighting chance for life, Shirlock returned about 6 o’clock to the hospital and was confronted with the re- sult of his negligence. He had no excuse to make, and seemed to be stupefied by the occurrence. Superintendent Stahle notified the Sev- enteenth-street police station shortly after midnight and Sherlock was placed under arrest. Sherlock’s statement of the sad affair was thet the two patients, Daniel Netcher, who is dead, and Thomas Murphy, who is dying, were to undergo a delicate opera- tion this morning. He was instructed b, the doctor to give them each a blacl draught during the afternoon. He had occasion to go downtown, and he instructed George Mallabar, another patient in the ward, to give them the black draught, which was in a bottle in his locker. He gave Mallabar the keys of his locker when he left to go downtown, and that was all he knew about it. Netcher was a native of Massachusetts, aged 60 years, single and admitted to the hospital August 15suffering from cataract. He formerly resided at 5 Enterprise alley. “I consider it in the highest degree re- markable.” said Dr. Stable, ‘‘that after eight years of faithful and efficient service Sherlock should have been so neglectful of his duty. “] have always found him diligent and prudent. How he coald bring himself to turn over the keys of his medicine chest to the half-blind patient, Malabar, is more'than I can conceive. .'“His negligence, to my mind, is plainly criminal, though { am ‘most surprised at it. It looks as though no one could be trusted when a man considered so reliable as was Sherlock, allows himself to commit so grave an imprudence,”’ ichard Shirlock hasbeen a nurse at the institution for the pasteight years and is a sober and experienced man. Thomas Murphy, the man for whose life the doctors are battling, is a native of freland, aged about 76 years. He lived at 114 Twelfth street. SUICIDE AT NAPA. F. E. Mielinz, Distracted Over Financial Losses, Sends a Bullet Through His Brain. NAPA, CAL., Aug. 21.—Another case has been added to the lorg list of suicides committed in Napa during the past iwo -months. This morning at 5:30 o’clock, F. E. Mielinz committed suicide by firing a bul- let through his brain, the ball entering the right side of his head. The son, Wilham Mielinz, wasawakened by the report, and sprang out of bed. - He hastened from his room, and entering the sitting-room founa his father lying on the couch. blood cozing from = wound on the right side of the head, and a 38-caliber pistol lying on the floor near the couch.

An Unknown Young Man With a Mania for Suicide Scares the Wits Out of Them. SANTA ROSA, CArn, Aug. 21.—An un- known young man with a suicidal mania has succeeded in frightening several Santa Rosa people almost out of their senses. At times the unfortunate youth is per- fectly sane and the fits of temporary in- sanity come upon him suddenly and with- out warning. This afterncon he called at the residence of John Doaohuejand asked for some- . — thing to eat. Mrs. Donohue gave bim his dinner and asked him to assist her 1n putting some wheat in a bin. The wheat sacks were tied up with a stout cord, requiring the use of a knife to open them. The stranger appeared sane enough until the knife was placed in his hands, then with set face and rolling eyes he be- gan to race around the premises to the frent dismay of Mrs. Donohue. He at ength rushed atthe now badly frightened woman brandishing tbe knifeon high and within about three’feet of her suddenl'y tore oven his shirt and plunged the knife full 1u his breast. Mrs. Donohue ran into the honse and gave the alarm, but before assistance could arrive the maniac had fled. The police are keeping & lhayY look- out and many maicen ladies will look carefully under their beds before retiring to-night in Santa Rosa. —_————— IMPORTANT MEETING* AT FRESHO. Valley Road Officers Have a Highly Satis- factory Conference With Many Property-Owners. FRESNO, Car. Aug. 21.—Several officials of the Valley Road, accompanied by mem- bers of engineering corps, arrived in Fresno to-day and {o-night held a meet- ing with between forty and fifty owaers of property on Q and Disna streets who are objecting to the entry of the road into the city until they are paid damages to their property. Vice-President Watt on behalf of the Valley Road assured them that the road would not run over or injure their property without just compensauion. He said the road wanted to come in without making a single enemy and had no purpose of going to 1aw Wit . anybody. He stated further that the Valley road:is willing to leave the question of damages to any local committee that is satisfactory to the people of Fresno, this committee to agree with the property-owners, and such agreement, if at all reasonable, will be ac- cepted by the Valley road. Mr. Watt’s freindly speech had a decidedly good effect and the prospect now is that a speedy settle- ment will be reached. The ownersof about forty lots have already signed an agree- ment waiving all claims to damages. —_———— Treasury Gold Reserve. WASHINGTON, D.

TRAGEDY [N A MADHOUSE Owen Clements Gets His Death Blow at the Hands of Carl Gustafsen. His Skull Fractured With a Mop Be- czuse He Didn’t Get Out of the Way. STOCKTON, Car. Aug. 2L—In the morgue at the State Asylum awaiting in- terment this evening lies the body ofa patient who was dealt his death blow day before yesterday by another patient while the two were in one of the wards of the big building in which male lunatics are confined. The particulars of the affair are meager because the attendant of the ward was at the further end of the long hallway between the two rows of cells when the blow was struck which sent the victim to his death. The name of the dead man is Owen Clements, and he was committed from San Francisco six or eight months ago. His slayer is Carl Gustafsen, a strapping big fellow, who nad been an inmate of the madhouse for a year and a half. Gustafsen was rubbing down the floor with an implement made of a piece of a board on a long handle, the crosspiece beingz covered with carpeting and having on its under side a section of rubber. Clements was in the habit oi approaching persons and kicking them on the shins, and it is supposed that he did this to Gustafsen. The latter raised the imple- ment and dealt Clementsa blow on the head which felled him unconscious to the floor. The attendant, hearing him fall, ran up and Gustafsen was taken into cus- tody. An examination of the injuied man failed to disclose the severity of the wound, because no indentation could be detected in the skull. Yesterday fore- noon, however, he died, and an autopsy was held. It showed that the skull had been fractured. Coroner Clark was in- formed immediately after the man’s death. At 2 o'clock this afternoon an inquest was held at the asvium in the board of directors’ room. The testimony showed that the deceased was 43 years old and was a native of Ireland. Both he and his slayer were quite crazy. E. L. Ballou, the attendant who first discovered what had happened, testified that he asked Gustafsen why he struck Clements, and the reply was, ‘‘He ought to have got out of my way.” DEATH BEFORE DISGRACE Stanley Williams Took His Em- ployer’s Money and Ended : His Own Life. Sickness and Expenses Caused Him to Do That Which Made Him Anxious to Die. OAKLAND OFricE SAN FrANCISCO C.u.n,} 908 Broadway, Aug. 21. Despondent from financial reverses and ill health Stanley Williams took his life early this morning. He had suffered from Bright’s disea: for five years, and with the iliness of his wife, the expense was more than he could stand, and in a moment of weakness he used the money that belonged to his em- Pployers, and seeing that the fact must be discovered and knowing it was impossible 40 repay the amount, he placed a revolver to his right temple and ended his life. Williams was a solicitor for Mau, Sadler & Co. of Ban Fraucisco, having been with them for seven years, but he had never mentioned his troubles to any one there. He was an Englishman, 46 years of age, and came to this country about ten years g0 with his wife and three children. He was formerly in business, but reverses came and he went to work on commission. . The deed was committed after the fam- ily had retired for the night mn the newl built home on Leise avenue, near Hi: street. in Fruitvale. He went to his room and fired the fatal shot. The report and the sound of the body falling on the floor awakened the boys and their mother, An investigation showed that the shot had caused almost instant death. . W. Spiars of this city says Williams came to him yesterday to get square his accounts with the firm, and on being told that he did not have it_at hand Williams threatened to take his life. Mr. Spiars advised him 10 go to the firm and explain matters, and he felt that the; Wwould give bim time to square himself. When told that the man haa killed him- self Mr. Spiars was grutl{ shocked. Deceased carried life insurance to the extent of $8000, so that the family will be well provided for. WATSON'S FREELE DOES NOT THAW, Democrats Masticating the Remains of the People’s Party. AN UNPOPULAR FUSION. The Populist Vice-Presidential Candidate Sacrificed to Sewall. VOICE OF THE PARTY PRESS. Democracy Now Proceeding to Euchre Its Ally on Congressmen Helped by the S P. Co. The sub-committes appointed by the conference committee of the Democratic, People’s and Bilver parties resumed their session at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon in the California Hotel. E. M. Wardall, chairman of the People’s party State Com- mittee, and John 8. Dore, National Com- mitteeman, represented the Populists, M. C. Hassett and A. Caminetti the Demo- crats and G. Cobn and W. P. Lawlor the Silver men. The chairman stated that the object of the joint meeting of the above sub- committee was to make such recommenda- tions concerning the First and Third Con- | gressional districts as would produce a union of the People’s and Democratic parties in presenting a candidate for Con- gress in each of the said distriets. Mr. Wardall moved as to the Third Con- gressional District that the following reso- lntion be adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this commit- tee that the meeting of the People’s party convention of the Third Congressional District ought to be postponed from the 25th of August to the 4th of September, 1896, and that said | convention be held that day in the city of Vallejo; also, that the Democratic Congres- sional convention of the Third District should | be held at the same time and place, in order, if | possible, that a union be effected between said | conventlons in the selection of a candidate for Congress mutually “352“”" to both the People’s party and the Democratic party con- ventions. And be it further X Resolved, That & copy of this resolution be forwardea immediately to E. M. Wardall and | William H. Alford, chairmen respectively of | the People’s party and Demoeratic party State | Central committees, with the Tequest that they | immediately institute such proceedings as | they may deem necessary to effect the objects | herein set forth, i The resolutions were carried. Mr. Dore moved as to the First Con- gressional District t hat no action be taken until a general plan of union on Congres- sional candidates applicable to all dis- tricts is adoptea by a conference commit- tee of the Democratic, People’s and Silver parties. Carried. Mr. Dore moved that this sub-committee recommend to the conference committee that provision be made for the appoint- ment of a joint committee to formulate a plan of action providing for a union on candidates for Congress in all the districts | of the State. Carried. John 8. Dore, A. Caminetti and W. P. Lawlor were appointed the joint commit- tee and will meet ut 10 o’clock Tuesday morning. The gmte executive committee of the People’s party will meet on Monday at 2 p. M. to consider the proposal to fuse on electors. John S. Dore, the People’s party Na- tional committeeman who refused to ac- quiesce in the Demo-Populist fasion, received several dispatches yesterday from influential Populists in the San Joa- quin: Valley commending him for the stand he has taken, namely, that Bryan and Watson are the nominees of the Peo- vle's party National Convention at St. Louis, and that any combination with Democrats or others that will cast the majority of the Populist vote in any State for Sewall for Vice-President is treason to the party. The terms of the fusion proposed by the Democrats last Lhursday provides that sincerity seems to be estaplished, to satisfy the country that the record of the Democratic party for breaking platform pledges was ended and that hereafter it meant what it this purpose. He is president of a National bank and has been largely connected with corporations. Is & National banker a con- sistent candidate upon the Chicago platform, which declares for sbolishing the issue of Na- tional pank notes? 1t is said by some that Mr. Sewall may be as thoroughly in favor of this policy as any one. believe it. Men are not usually opposed to their own business, or their own interests; the public cannot be expected to believe that they are. If Mr. Bryan were a National banker, no one can doubt that he wouid be unable to con- vince the public that he was the man for this time and for this platiorm; ought not Mr. Sewall to come up to the same standard as Mr. Bryan? Our convention thought so, and we believe that the great mass of voters who are asked to eiect the Chicago ticket think so. Qur convention wisely declined to accept Mr. Sewall and selccted a man who is a consistent mate for Mr. Bryan and also chose asa Na- tional committee & body which is absolutely loyal to Mr. Watson and in which every ropu- list may repose full cenfidence in the great contest to be waged in this campaign. This address was signed by the follow= ing named: said. The selection of Mr. Sewall does not aid | If this may be so, the masses, so often deceived | by political professions, cannot be expected 1o | Douglass T. Fowler (chairman), M. E.

The question now arises: Will the signers of that address indorse the fusion attempted to be consummated whereby the entire Populist vote of this State will be pledged to Sewall in thie proportion of five to four for Watson? ¥ Will they dare to so misrepresent their constituents ? £ 5 Resolutions were adopted indorsing the candidacy for re-election of Police Judge Campbell. —_— Sent to the Asylum.

HOW'S YOUR LIVER? when a Populist casts his ballot atthe polls he inl give Sewall five votes and Watson only four votes. Fortunately for the integrity of the People's party the fusion has not been accepted by the State Central Committee of that organization. It will be considered at a meeting to be held next Monday morning, on which oc- casion Mr. Dore will file his minority re- port, which will fully set forth the reasons which have actuated him in votinzagainst a fusion which would have thc effect of depriving Thomas Watson of five out of every nine vofes. The State Committee will have plenty of light on the subject before they meet, and if they ratify the unholy marriage they will do so with open eyes and with full knowledge of the sentiment of the masses of the People’s party, not only in California, but all over the rest of the United States. Three-fourths of the Populist organs published in this State have prutested against the sacrifice of Thomas Watson upon the aitar of the ambition of National Banker Sewzll, and those newspapers are the most influential of théir class, as a glance at the list will show: The New Charter, San Jose, M. W. Wilkins. Merced Daily Sun, J. Radcliffe. Visalia News and Tulare Citizen, W. H. Gil- strop and G. P. Manchester. Equity, Santa Barbara, Melvin Snow. Industry, Oakland, J. C. Buttner. Civic Review, Los Ang‘eles, R. E. Curran. Redding Searchlight, M. E. Dittmar. The Keystone, Fresno, George H. Malter. Mr. Malter has left the name of the can- didate for President blank, with an inter- rogation mark at the end, and prints the name “Thomas Watson’’ in big letters. Ex-Congressman Caminetti is fearful Jest some reader of THE CALL might sus- pect that he said he was in favor of kicking out Grover Cleveland and the rest of the Democratic gang and kicking in W. J. Bryan and the rest of the Democratic gang. Nobody has accused Mr. Caminesti of saying so0, but he is assisting in the work just as bard. Adyvices are pouring in from all parts of the State to the effect that Popolists and many Democrats are declaring that they will “vote only for the four Bryan and Watson_electors, and that they will not crucify Bryan and Sewali on their Austra- lian ballots with the red rubber stamp. The County executive committee of the People's ‘gut&held & meeting last night in Dr. G. W. Daywalt’s office in the Murphy building, eleven of the fitteen members being present. T. V.
