It was expected that Judge Seawell would this morning render his deci- sion as to the demurrers.interposed by the Supervisors indicted by the Grand Jury rangements,| with the object in view of defeating if possible the aims of gun clubs that have leased marsh lands so as to se- cure for themselyves the exclusive right of shooting the wild game thereon. The commirttee is composed of W.J. Ahern, Charles F. Fitzsimmons, A. B. Truman, %loyd Eaton, Jack Ssmmi and M. F. erges. The following inclosed pledge will be mailed to the political nominees for the Legislature: I hereby pledge myself, if elected a member of the next]ie lature, not to intreduce any measure that will curtail in any wngume rights and privileges of citizens in so a8 they relate to the hunting or shooting of wild game in or upon the tije or marsh lanas of ihe State of California. 1 also agree not to vote for any bill, resolu- tion or enactment having in view the pre- serving or setting aside of any of the tide or overflowed lands of this State for the private and exclusive hunting privileges of char- tered or unchartered clubs. 1 further pledge myself to use all honorable means to prevent the passage of any and all legisiation hlvinf in view the intent or pur- pose of abridging in any way or manner what- soever the rights of unettached sportsmen as guaranteed them under the law now upon the statute-books of the State of California.

The Omaka was to have been turned over to the Naval Reserve as a training ship, but the Government considered that the quar- antine station nad the first call, so the frigata was partly dismantled at Mare Island and turned into a quarantine hulk. After the interior had been cleared of all obstacles the fumigation machinery was putin position iz the hold. Tanks, in which passengers taken from a plague ship can be bathed, were put in, and hot air compartments for *‘he fumigation of clothing and general baggage. When thoroughly equipped the Omaha was towed to California City and 1s now an ad- junct to the United States Quarantine Station, and should a steamer come here with smallpox or yellow fever aboard the once smart frigate would be turned into a pesthouse. The Omaha was built at Philadelphia, Pa., in 1869 and was barkrigeed. Her displacement is 2400 tons, length 250 feet 6 inches, extreme breadth 38 feet, draught 16 feet 6 inches. Her indicatea horse- power was 935, and her speed was given in 1892 as i1 knots.. It is not so many vears ago since the old vessel flew an admiral’s pennant, and now her last days are to be spent as a quarantine hulk at anchor off California City. Therush to Stockton by steamer on the eve of Admission day will be enormous. Every square inch of space on the Mary Garratt, City of Stockton, T. C. Walker and Captain Weber has been pre-empted, and if more boats could be secured they would be put on the run.

The Mary Garratt will go as an excursion steamer, and her passengers will have to ¥~!y extra. SBhe will leave at 7 p. M. The T. C. Walker has been chartered by Mis- sion Parlor, N. 8. G. W., and that party will leave 2t 9. . The Captain Vgeber will not have a spare inch of room, and hundreds on all the boats will h: to sleep in chairs or on the floor. _George Metcalf, the youngest California pioneer and the man with the biggest heart for the helpless and poor, has been extended a special invitation to attend the celebration at Stockton. ‘“Little George.” who is a prime favorite with ali who know | him, says he will be there. Mr. Metcalf has long been favorably known for his generosity in all philanthropic work and his society is greatly in demand at all times. The Pacific Mail Company’s Cofon ar- rived from Panama and way ports yester- day, There were 19 passengers in the cabin, 25 in the steerage and 23 Chinese in transit to Hongkong. ~She brought a very small general cargo, the biggest consign- ments being coffee and limes.

Captain Wallace reports that at 2:40 4. ™. on the 2d inst. he passed a vessel that looked like a steamer under sail. She had no smokestack. People on ’change were conjecturing yesterday what vessel it could be. Captain Wallace says when he sighted the steamer she was three miles west northwest of Point Reyes. o4 that famous case and that the board of directors so knew, but that they willfully employed W. H. H. Hart to wage legal warfare against the best interests of the company, and paid him $5000 out of the funds of the company for so doing. The directors and Hart are therefore sued for the return of the money. GOLD ON THE COLORADO, Much Decomposed Quartz Being Found That Is of Unusual Richness. Dan Murphy’s Story of Frank Cocombs’ Find on the Oid Government Trail. Dan Murphy, the pioneer merchant and postmaster of The Needles, on the Colo- rado River, isin the City. He says there 1s grest activity in gold mining on the river, and that during the last few months many good discoveries have been made. In consequence of this business is active, and there is far more confidence mani- fested in every direction than formerly. “Prospectors are geiting out up- the river in both California snd Arizona,” said he. ‘‘Beveral strikes have been made of decomposed quartz, some of it surprisingly rich. One of the best strikes was made recently by Frank Coombs, thirty miles up the river on the Arizona side. A bj ledge of decomposed quariz was foun right on the old Government trail. Some of the quartz ran $1000 a ton. “Then over in the Randburg district, and about Providence Mountain and m the country toward Vanderbiit, there have been several good discoveries maae. One of these is a great strike made by Indians. 1t is said to be a big thing. “Since silver mining closed down the miners have been giving their attention to gold. They have found a great many quartz veins, and on sampling them have discovered they will pay. So there is a general impetus to good mining, aud it is resulting in good to the country. ““There is 80 much of the country along the Colorado that is unexvlored that it | offers a great field for enterprising men who have a knowledge of mining.” Mr. Murphy is here on a business trip, e Williams Case Nearly Ended. The trial of Dick Williams is rapidly draw- ing toa close. Yesterday the defense closed its asrgument, and Prosecuting Attorney Hen- ley began his closing effort for the Govern- ment. Mr. Mowry held forth all morning, going carefully over the testimony of eac Wwitness, emphasizing the truth or falsity of each, as the occasion seemed to demand. Asa whole it was a forcible and carefully prepared effort. Mr. Henley began at 3 o’clock. Step by step he reviewed the testimony, in turn tearing to pieces such as he thought not credi- ble and bolstering_up that which he deemed needed support. He will conclude this morn- ing, and it is thought the jury will reacha verdict by 8 o'clock. .Insolvent Debtors. Pietro di Grazia, a member of the firm ot Di Grazia & Brother, wagonmakers, yesterday filed a petition in insolvency. He owes A new schooner, the James Spiers, in from Port Blakeley after a smart pass- age of ten days yesterday. She brought down lumber for Renton, Holmes & Co. ; and has assets valued at $200. '71‘;':2;;“ Buhrhaus, a_saloon-keeper, filed a tition in insolvency. Heowes 38, and us assets valued at in connection with the reduction of the tax assessments on the franchise of the Spring Valley Water Works and other corporations. His Honor had so an- nounced, but yesterday an additional brief was filed by General J. H. Dickinson presenting more reasons why the indict- ment should be dismissed. Judge Sea- well has not had time to thoroughly go into the subject-matter of the new brief, and so the decision on the demurrers is indefinitely postponed. The legal points involved in the brief hinge on the proposition thatif the Super- visors were wroug in making the redue- tions complained of it was simply an error of judgment, and that the board is not subject to prosecution for such a mistake, The brief says: It is alleged in the accusations against the Supervisors that an application was made by the Spring Valley Water Works for a reduction of the assessment on the franchise from $2.- 500,000 to $1,500,000, and that the accused Supervisors, willfully, knowingly and cor- ruptly, with intent to defraud the City of a ortion of its revenue, reduced the assessment. Yn all the counts it is l.llelged that the de- fendants with the Board of Equalization par- ticipated in the reduction, but it does not say how—whether by argument, force or intimida- tion, and no facts are stated to show it was done in an unlawful manner. The presump- tion of law is that it was done in & lawful manner, the contrary not being shown. General Dickinson claims in behalf of the Supervisors: “T1hat the accusations acknowledge that the Board of Equalization had jurisdiction of the question for the reduction of the assessment applied for. ‘hat the action of the board in dealing with the valuation of the property-lists on the roll is pased upon evidence wnich may be adduced before the board. That the accusations do not allege that the board did not act upon the evidence before it. That the order in the premises is conclusive that 1t did not act upon such evidence as was necessary. That there is no allegation in the accusa- tions that the board did not examine on oath the Kflmn or agent making the application touching the value of the property of the com- panies named. That there is no allegation that the agent of the applicants did not answer all questions pertinent to the inquiry, and therefore the resumption is that the applicants were exam- Fned in accordanee with the law. That the Board of Equalization, having jur- isdiction and having complied with the sec. tions of the Political Code respecting the vlnlue of the property, its order was conciu- sive. That jurisdiction to determine the issue in- volves the power to determine it erroneously, That jurisdiction to determine the fact of evidence involves the power to draw errone- ous conclusions from it. That as there was evidence before the board in support of its findings it must be treated as conclusive, notwitnstanding the fact that there was other evidence that mlfxl." be re- gearded as raising a conflict therewit And that the accusations are insufficient to follow the language of the statute in such g case as this. The briel 50“ on to take issue with the allegations of conspiracy in the accusation and with other technical words and phrases. Judge Sewall says he will announce his decision in the matter as soon as possible, — DUCK-8H.LT.NG CLUB:. The Sportsmen’s Protective Association Appoints a Campaign Committee.

TALE OF AN AFFIDAVIT. An Attorney’s Statement Made Under Oath Dzclared to Be False. SERIOUS RESULTS THREATENED The Accused May Be Criminally Prosecuted and His Disbarment May Be Demanded. According to the affidavit filed yesterday with the clerk of Justice of the Peace Cook, James A. Devoto, an attorney, has been guilty of moral turpitude, making him liable to disbarment, the crime of verjury, laying kimself open to prosecu- tion, and has seriously jeopardized the interests of his client. These are the facts alleged in the affidavit: Luigi Gandolfo, about two months ago, secured judgment against G. B. Arma- nino for 324150, on a suit before Judge Cook, based on a claim for board and lodging furnished defendant, food fur- nished his horse and storage provided for his buggy. N. 8. Wirt and Crisp represented the plaintiff and James A. Devoto the defendant. Defendant filed a notice of appeal, and his original bondsmen haying been un- able to justify on the appeal bond to the satisfaction of the court and plaintiff, Devoto offered to become a surety for his client, an unusual thing, it is said, for an attorney to do, and a proceeding that is looked ul.)on by members of the bar as be- ing hardly within the pale of professional conduct, though there is no law or rule against such a proceeding. In justifying before Judge Cook, the affidayit avers, Devoto took oath that he owned certain personal property and also two lots in Stockton, for whicivx he paid $250 each, title to which was in his name. Gandolfo, it is averred, had his suspi- cion aroused over Devoto’s action and had his attorney make inquiry as to the truth of Devoto’s statement that he owned real estate in Stockton. He was made suspi- cious, he says, by the fact that the ac- cused attorney was unable to describe his real property otherwise than as being two unimproved lots in Stockton, located near the State Insane Asylum.

The motion will be made on to-morrow. It is stated by one of the plaintifP’s attor- neys that criminal proceedings may grow out of the matter, and that the attention of the Bar Association may be called to the matter with a view to bringing about Devoto’s disbarment. — e e AL HAYMAN & CO.’S THEATERS.
