MISHAPS OF THE HOUR. Dynamite. Plant, =Mortar Batteries | and :High-Power Guns to B2 Inspected Te-Day. The reyiew- of troops at the Presidio yesterday afternoon in honor of Major- General Miles was a fine display. It had | color, -life .and dash. Two horses of a caisson wentdown when the light bat- teries were going across the field at full | gallop. The rider sayed “himself by a quick jump. The accident, or mishap, caused a flutterdf subdued shrieks from the ladies, who dimly saw the steeds 2o down in a cloud of dust. The lively airs of the Fifth Artillery and First Infantry bands,the fast riding of aids and orderfies, the superb marching of the infantry and foot artiilery, the swift evolutions of the light artillery and the .picturesque effect of officers of high rank in full aniform all lent their aid to make the scene picturesque and ani- mated. Early in the @ v a'battalion of the First Infantry, uuder command of Captain John-J. O’Conneli, came over on the steamer from Angel Island to_ join the | column for review. The two battalions stationed at Alcatraz were also brought to | the perinsula, and the battery at Fort Mason was in line along with the troops quartered at the Presidio. The Fifth Artillery was formed in three battalions. ~ The first battalion, com- manded by Msjor John A. Darling, con- sisted of Batteries A, I C and L. The second batialion, commanded by Captain Benjamin K. Roberts, was composed of Batteries M, E-and B. The light artillery battalion—Battery D, Captain Thorp, and Battery . F, Cantain Reilly — was com- manded by Major Tully McCrea. The en- tire column was under command of Gen- eral Graham. o The review was announced for 2 o’clock, | but the major-general did not reach the fietd uftil filty-five minutes later. ' Mean- while the ladies weré expressing sympathy | for the soldiers who had to stand in line, | and-no doubt the men in the ranks enter- tuined reciprocal sympathy for the spec- 1ators. General Miles lost but. little time in alighting from-his carriage and mounting a.norse. He presented a fine figure on horse- back. The spectators -éxclaimed, ‘“What a fine-Tooking‘man.” When the general came to the reviewing stand the light ar- tillery salute of fifteen guns was fired, the mber prescribed by the army regula- tions for a major-general commanding the army. The major-general,'with less than an army 1o command, gets the Pproverbial uniucky namber of thirteen.. After the salute Generali Miles, accompanted by Coi- Shafter, commanding the depart- , and followed by Major Edward . Major-Holf, surgeon; Major Stephen Groesbeck, judge-advocate; Captain hler and -First Lieutenant Frank ene, , made the toor of the d. nel O. D. Greene, adjutant- eral, and’ Colonel A. S. Kimball, thief rtermaster of the department, attended the-review as spectators. After the column bad passed in review General Grabam, commanding the post, stggésted that the lighi batteries shoula do a turi in the field. Evidently General Miles was. gratified at the suggestion. Once the batieries went around on a trot and then at a full galop.

Had the failing steed been well up in front there would have been a pretty mess. There was spirit epough in'the dash of the light artillerymen to. recall incidents of real action. In another turn around the field a ser- geant was dismounted and slightly.hurt. His horse ran away and did not stop run- ning until be got outside. of the reserva- tion. Later in the day a little girl was knocked over but escaped unhurt. . Gsneral Miles was highly pleased with the review, and particularly delighted with the evolutions of the light artillery. He will inspect the dynamite guns, the mortar batteries and the twelve-inch rifles this afternoon. It was on the programme 0 look at the pnenmstic plant yesterday, but there was not sufficient time after the review. . S e It js said that seventeen horses working in the light batteries have been con- demned, but that the quartermaster’s de- The Troops partment has not consented to authorize the purchase of serviceable horses. This may account for the inability of some of | the horses to keepin line. | Thestatement was recently telegraphed from Washington that the Fifth Artillery | tion. 1872, seven years; tillery from Dacember, 1851, to May, 1800, nine years; the Fifth from May, 1880, un- til the present time, six years and four months. ROYCE IS ACQUITTED Declared Not Guilty of Embezzling Funds of the Veterans’ Home Association. A jury in Judge Troutt’scourt yesterday declared C. E. K. Royce not guilty of em- bezzling $2050 from the Veterans' Home Association. This verdict practically ends a once famous case. Royce is the ex-secretary of the Veterans’ Home Association who a couple of years ago was found in a lodging-house wounded nigh unto death, but in such a mysterious manner that for a long time the nature of his injuries could not bed-termined. It was finally discovered that he had shot himself in the top of his heaa. During his convalescence a shortage of almost $20,000 was discovered in his ac- counts witn the association. - He has been twice tried on the ci:arge of embezzle- ment, being found guilty the first time, but, vaving been granted a new trial b, the Supreme Court, he is now acquitted. The other charges against him will prob- ably be dismissed, and the only recourse the association now has is in the eivil courts. | e e e Another Suit Against Kelly.

IMPANELING A JURY. Eight Men Securel to Hear the Evidence as to Their Actions. JURYMEN'S QUALIFICATIONS. Talesmen May Not Entertain Hostile Feelings Toward Large Cor- porations. The trial of Supervisors Benjamin, Dun- ker, Scully, Morgenstern, King, Hughes and Wagner for malfeasance in office be- wan yesterday before Judge Seawell. The Bolid Seven were indicted by the Grand Jury for having reduced the figures of Assessor Siebe, who appraised the fran- chises of the Spring Valley Water Works Was by General Miles” Side as the Batteries Thundered Pasts ana several other corporations at about their real value. General J. H. Dickinson and J. C. Camp- bell representea the accused City fathers, while District Attorney Barnes and his assistant, Mr. Hosmer, looked after the in- terests of the prosecution. The morning was consumed in examin- ing talesmen as to_their qualifications to serve as jurors in the case. Almost the entire venire wasexhausted when the time arrived for the noon recess, and, as the ac- cused Supervisors were obliged to attend a meeting of the board during the afternoon, furtber proceedings were postponed until this morning. Mr. Barnes had few questions to put to the talesmen examined. He asked if the prospective juror was a personal friend or acquaintance of any or all of the accused and if he was interested in or influenced by any large corporation. Mr. Campbell, for the defense, was more particular. He had to be assured tbat the talesman was not opposed to the existence of large cor- Porations simply because they are large; that he was not prejudiced against the ac- cused by newspaper accounts or other- wise; that he would not be influenced by the fact that the Grand Jury had indicted the Supervisors, and many other thats. He also wanted to know if the man being examined owned any stock of any corpo- ration, if he knew Supervisor Taylor and if he belonged to any civic federation. Eight men successfully answered the queries propounded and were accepted as jurors, subject, however, to peremptory challenges by Attorney Camuvbell when court opens this morning. Following are the names and residences of those selected : Chris Knoburan, 2031 Fillmore. E. Aikus, 1126 Buchanan. H. Levy, 922 Eady. Max Armer, 306 Sacramento. Charles Wiener, 390 Sixth.

Lynch, for many years editor and proprietor of the Los Angeles Herald, is at the Lick, and has completed arrange- ments tor starting a new weekly journal in Los Angeles. He has had this in view fora long time, in fact ever since he re- linquished bis interest in the Herald. He has now had two years’ rest, and is going to get back in the traces. The first num- ber is to be issued the next day after the election, as the editor purposely desires to avoid the campaign and the dull business of summer. “It will be a sixteen-page paper with four columns to the page, and be largely a_journal of opinion,” said Mr. Lynch. “It will have half-tone pictures and special features in colors, as occasion may demand. I may say it wil: be up to the extreme of the realistic. In politics it will be independent. After being twenty- seven years under tbe glare of the gas- light in the editorial-rooms of morning papers I could not well keep out of the profession forever, and so after two years, during which I have attended to some private business, and taken as much ofa rest as I want, I am going to return to it.”’ ——— Judge Belche ntences. Judge Belcher yesterday sentenced Joseph Stewart to three years in State prison for grand larceny. Lewis Ravelles got three months in the County Jail for assault with a deadly we-gon. John Webber pleaded guiity to assault to commit larceny. He will be sentenced on Saturday. Claiborne Gets Damages. A jury in Judge Hunt's court yesterday awarded John H. Ciaiborne Jr. $1000 dam- es for personal 1njuries sustained in a sireet- &ufidfln on the Sutro road. He sued for ————e——— Borrow On sealskins, silks and jewels at Uncle Hauris', 16 Grant avenus.
