16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIi)AY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1896. DEATH BENEATH GLOWNG LIME, Thomas McCreary Meets an l Awful End in a Col- lapsed Kiln. CONE RODS GAVE WAY. Tons of Burning Rock Crushed Down on the Unfortu- nate Laborer. ONLY A MEMBERLESS TRUNK. The Body Pres-nted a Ghastly Sight When It Was Lifted From Its Position. Thomas McCreary, a lime-drawer, about 40 years of age, met an awful death at William Shipley’s lime kiln, foot of Mont- gomery avenue, last evening at 8 o’clock. McCreary, assisted by Grant B. Shipley, son of the proprietor of the kiln, was un- derneath the cone, busily engaged draw- ing out the tons of burning limerock stowed in the furnace. Suddenly the iron rods which held the cone, or cooler as it is known to lime- purners, gave way. Y oung Shipley heard the sound of the breaking iron and sprang backward just in time to save his life. McCreary, however, was not so fortu- nate, and the entire mass of glowing lime struck him and he was buried beneath it. The sound of burning flesh could be heard as the red hot brimestone ate its way into the unfortunaie man’s body. The lime was blazing up and threaten-. ing to set fire to the woodwork around the’ kiin, so G. T. Parrott and Charles. Swen- berg turned in an alarm from box 182, The fire soon ceased to blaze, however, but District Engineer Shaug: nessey put his men at work shoveling away the debris in order to find McCreary's body. It was a difficult task, as the fumes from the lime almost suffocated the fire- men. A constant stream of water was played on the glowing mass and the body was finally recovered. It wasa grewsome sight—a headless and limbless trunk, charred and crushed beyond recognition, The lirubs and kull had not been crushed off by the weight of the rock upon them, but had been cremated in the fearful heat. In another half hour the entire body would have been consumed. *The rods which hoid the cooling cone in place must have given away,” said Willium Shipley shortly after the acci- dent. “I have constructed several kilns similar to the one which gave way to- night. There must have been some flaw 1n the iron rods, as they have but little weight to bear and are expected to be able to stand many times the strain put upon them.” McCreary was an experienced man, hav- the jail barber-shqp, and as he entered he seized an old razor and slashed his left wrist and nbdomen. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where iis wounds, which were not serious, were dressed, and he was sent back to jal. His budy is slmost covered with punc- tures from the hypodermic needle. THAT COCKING MAIN. The Jury in the Case of John Maher Fails to Agree Upon a Verdict. A jury in Judge Low's court was occu- vied all yesterday afternoon and part of the evening in trying the case of John Maher, one of the men arrested for making preparations for a cocking main. The arrests were made on BSunday, Augusy 2, by Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, assisted by a number of special officers and officers belonging to the so- ciety just as the men had boarded the barge Yolo at the Arctic Oil Works’ wharf. Over two dozen birds in sacks were cap- tured in the pilot house on the barge. Secretary Holbrook prosecuted and the defendant was represected by Attorney Ed Sweeney. A large number of wit- nesses were examined for the prosecution and defense, and the testimony on either side was strongly contradictory. Aliter arguments of counsel the case was i given to the jury. They were out for some time, and returned reporting that they had failed to agree upon a verdict. They were accordingly discharged. It was said that ten were for conviction and two for acquittal. The case was continued till to-morrow, to be again set for trial MET AFTER MARY YEARS, | Nearly Half a Century Inter- i vened Since the Separation of the Bralys. | Chief Braly on the Rush to Locate | Mining and Agricultural Lands in the West. There was a strange reunion at the United States Land Office in this City ‘Wednesday. The rennion was after asep- | aration of no less a time than forty-eight | years, and occurred between J. M. Braly, the widely known vineyardist of Fresno, {and W. C. Braly, his brother, who is | chief of the accounts division of the United States Land Office, Wash- ington, D. C. Mr. Braly of ¥resno, learn- ing that his brother had arrived in town, went at once to see him, and then they re- paired together to the Lick House to talk {over their singularly long separation, | fraught as it was with things of momen- tous importance to them. “The famiiy were living near 8t. Louis | forty-eight years ago.” said Chief Braly, “and my brother left and went to South- west Misscuri. Two years later he got the gold fever and struck out at once for Cali- fornia without going home. I wasa little fellow when he left, being but 7 years of age. My brother never got back across the mountains, and I never set eyeson him from the time he first left till to-day. 1 snall go down with him of course to his home in Fresno.” Then the chief spoke of his visit to the West and of an unusual activity in locat- ing mining claims and certain kinds of ag- ricultural lands. It amounted, he said, to e B el W. C. Braly, Chief of the Acccunts Division of the General Land Office, Who Yesterday Met His Brother, J. M. Braly, of Fresno, After a Separation of Forty-.ight Years.

These reduced rates, however, apply only to limited tickets, on which a continuous trip must be made, and the old 5-cent a mile rate is still in effect for unlimited tickets, good for six months with holdover privileges. Beveral weeks ago attention was at- tracted to the fact that these high rates prevailed in this section of the State, through a communication sent to the R: road Commission by C. F. Bertholf of Los Banos, one of the points affected. This communication was published in Tz CALL at the time and was evidently in part responsible for the present voluntary reduction made by the Southern Pacific Company. One of the assistant eeneral passenger agents, in speaking of these reductions, stated that the matter had been under consideration for three years, but that the situation was not considered favorable for action until the present time. He added that it was done purely to encourage sn increase in thd volume of traffic. He con- tinued as follows: “We have done simply what we have had in contemplation for some time, and Wherever we have the 5-cent rate in effect we shall reduce it as fast as we find we can stand it. This will be done wherever we think it will aid 1o develop business to any extent.” MERCHANTS MEET. Members Are Admitted and the Board of Directors Arrange for a Charter Mass-Merting.

AN ATTORNEY ANGERED Devoto Had Good Reasonms to Go on His Client’s Bond. Says He Owns Penty of Property to Qualify as a Surety—Why He Did It. Attorney James A. Devoto has a decided objection to being placed in the light of having sworn falsely to his worldly posses- sions at the time when he Gualified on the bond of his client, G. B. Armanino, as is alleged in an affidavit filed last Wednes- day with the clerk of Justice of the Peace Cook. Mr. Devoto is district deputy grand President of the Native Sons, a member of Alcalde Parlor 154, and noble grand arch of the Druids. . “In the latter capacity,” stated the gen- tleman yesterday, ‘it was my duty to make an official visitation to S8anta Cruz. This wounld bhave had to be delayed in order to secure a proper bondsman, so 1 broke away from my general rule and went on my client’s bond myself. It was only a householder’s bond of $100 with the extent of liability of perhaps $10 for costs. Upon oath I testified that I had $2000 in bank and other property worth at least | $4000. This, certainly, was sufficient qual- fication, “Incidentally in mentioning my posses sions I stated that I was the owner of two lots in Stockton. The affidavit wrongfully denies this. The value of these lots, only $400, cuts little figure in my qualification of $4000. However, I wish to show that this otatement of mine, made under oath, was right. “I purchased two lots in Stockton from the Stockton Land Company for $400, pay- ing $190 as a preliminary, and taking im- mediate possession. ] It seems to me that the affidavit filed must have been inspired by malice, for no one could possibly ana rightfully question my abili y to meet a $100 obligation.” Attorney Devoto is 2 man of high stand- ing in his profession, and is well thought of in a wocial and iraternal way. e ———— DET.CTeD IN THE - ACT.

NO PROVISION WAS MADE The Oifice Had to Be Filled by Gubernatorial Appoint- ment. THE CONSTITUTION CONSTRUED Justice Garoutte Comcurs on Grounds Detailed in a Scparate Opinion. Mr. Jeter, it now appears, is to retain the lieutenant-governorship of the State for two years longer. Thus the Supreme Court has decided, its decision being unan- imous, though in his concurring opinion Justice Garoutte bases the ruling upon one or two special points not mentioned in the opinion of the other Justices on the Supreme Bench. The decision has been looked for with considerable interest. In addition to the fact that an important precedent was to be established by it, the opinion wasim- patiently awaited by Mr. Jeter’s friends. Then the office of Lieutenant-Governor might have some attractions for the hope- inl office-seeker, as well. Whatever the motives quite a flutter was caused in legal, political and business circles as soon as it became known that a decision had been rendered in the case of the People ex relatione Lynch against James H. Budd, Governor of California. The important document commences as follows: % “This is an application for a writof mandate to compel the Governor to in- clude in his proclamation for the coming election a cali to fill tl.e office of Lieuten- ant-Governor for the unexvired term of Spencer G. Millard, deceased. Respond- ent has fiiled the vacancy caused by the death of the Lieutenant-Governor by the aprointment of William T. Jeter, who has duly qualified.” In continuation the point is noted that both parties to the action unite in conced- ing that the Governor of the State was vested with ample authority and undis- Eu:ed night to fill the vacant position of ieutenant-Governor in the manner in which ne filled it. No question is raised as to the legality of this proceeding, and hence the court does not feel called upon to consider it. The opinion proceeds to cite the several provisions of the State constitution hay- ing a bearing upon the election and qual- fication of Governor and Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, calling attention to the article which provides that the Lieutenant-Gov- ernor is to be elected at the same time and in the same manner as the Governor, and that his term of office shall be of the same duration. In the event of the death, impeachment, resignation, removal or incapacity of the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor is to act in his stead. But, proceeds the decision, there seems to_be no provision for the appointment of a Lientenant-Governor in case the incum- bent fail, through death, impeachment or other cause. Still, this point need raise no difficuity, since it is provided against in that ariicle of the State constitution which ordains that when a State office becomes vacant, and the law designates no special manner in which that vacancy shall be filled, the Governor shail appoint some proper person to the position until the next election. This means, in the case of a Lieutenant-Governor, ihe next election at which a Lientenant-Governor is regularly to be elected—in other words, the next State election. The law, the opinion proceeds to state, makes no provision for the holding of a s ecial election to the post of Lieutenant- Governor in the event of that office be- coming vacant from any cause. Hence in the event of a Lieutenant.Governor re- signing or dying it would be hard to prove the legality of a special election which might be had for the purpose of filling the office. The mere fact of an office being elective would not, in the ab- sence of any law authorizing and regulat- ing an election, render any attempted election valid. 1In a concurring opinion handed in with th_edopinion of the bench Justice Garoutte said: The constitution provides that the powers and duties of the office of Governor, in case of & vacancy, shall devolve upon the Lieutenant- Governor for heresidue of the term or until the disability shall cease. The constitution further provides (hut in case of a vacancy in boih the offices of Governor and Lieutenant- Governor the president pro tempore of the Senate shall act as Governor unti! the vacancy be filled. The constitution does not provide that the president pro tempore of the Senate shall perform the duties of the office of Lieutenant-Governor in case a vacancy exists in that office. Hence any such question is fore- closed. ‘The opinion goes on to recite the facts leading to the instituticn of the suit, and states that the result of the litigation would depend in part upon tue true con- struction of the words ‘‘the next eiection by the people’” in the constitution. The incumbent of the office of Lieutenant- Governor concedes tiat the next election by the people will be the coming Presi- dential election in Novemb:r, but claims that the words of the constitution shoula be taken to mean the next election at which the election cf a Lieutenant- Governur is regularly provided for. Jus- tice Garountte contencs that the constitu- tion must be interpreted as it stands, and that no intent not plainly apparentshould be presumed in construing its terms; and though the appointee’s commission ex- pires at the next election by the pecple, still, in the absence of some law author- izing the election of a Lieutenant-Gov- ernor at that time, no such election can be held. Under these conditions he holds that -he present appointee must retain his position until his successor shall be duly elected and qualifiea, regardliess of the day upon which his commission may expire; and that his successor can only be elected at the time fixed by law, name.y, at the next regular State electiun in 1898, Captain Johnson Suspended.
