McLachlan Gains Ninety-Eight Votes in a Portion of " Los Angeles. EARLY CALCULATIONS. UPSET. Election. of the Pasadenan Claimed by the Republican Congressional Committee, LOS ANGELES, Cax., Nov. 9.—Fusion- ist Barlow’s friends, who have been claim- ing their candidate’s election to succeed McLachlan, appear to have been counting ballots before théy were taken from the box. The officers of the Repub- lican Congressional Comiaittee have ad- vices from the upper counties to the effect that, because of errors in reporting returns, McLachian was represented ss being be- hind, whereas it now seems that he has been elected by 100 plurality. The report- ed complications are in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. In Los Angeles County the Supervisors, in reporting returns to-day, corrected footings amounting to ninety-eight votes in favor of McLachian, with only aquarter of the taliy sheets covered. Information of these zains having been communicated to Congressman McLach- lan at bis home in Pasadens, he at orce came to this city and to his office, where he was cslled upon by numerous friends, who expressed their belief that a fair connt would show bim in the lead. From a number of precincts in the county and especially in Precinct 2 of Pas- adens, the Republican candidate lost a large number of es by a most unusual circumstance. It seems that the ink used in sup‘rlying the stamping pads was of the indelible kind which adhered in large guantities to the ballot, and since no blot- ting pads were used to take up the sur- plus ink, it remained and when the ballots were folded for depositing in the boxa crease occurred between McLachlian’s and Barlow’s names and the offset from the ink in the McLachlan squares was ccn- spicuously ble in the Barlow squares as well. This, on its face, seemed to indi- cate that the citizen bad voted for both candidates, and notwithstanding & close inspection made the real reason perfectly plain, the election board there and else- where deciued that the ballots shou!ld not be counted for either candidate. All such votes, as far as known, were M :Lechlan's loss. Leading lawyers claim that in a contest these votes ;would be given to the Republican nominee because of the evident intent on the part of the voters. Mr. McLachlan by no means con- cedes his opponent’s election, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. To-day he said : ““The face of the returns up to Friday last indicated my defeat, but later reports and correcied fgures warrant tha hope that I may yet puil through, notwith- standing the 3500 msjority which stared me in the face at the beginning of tte campaign.” BOWERS’ CLOSE CALL. Returns Indicate the Congressman's Re- election by Less Than Fifty Votes. SAN DIEGO, Car, Nov. 9.—It now seems that Congressman Bowers is re- elected beyond a doubt. To-day the offi- cial returns were canvassed in seven counties in the Seventh District, with the following resul:: ..... . .330 These counties give Bowers a plurality of 656. TUnofficial returns from the re- maining counties, compiele except for Fresno, were as follows: Bowers. Castle. 2,323 2,691 1,173 5. 2270 . * Four precincts missing. These counties give Castle a piurality of 614. Deducting this from the Bowers plorality in the first set of counties, the Republicsn candidate has still 42 votes to the good. The missing precincts in Fresno County are not expected to change the result materiaily. PASADENA’S JOY UNCUNFINED. Boisy Ratification of the Triumph of Me- Kinley and Protection. PASADENA, Car, Nov. 9.—Pasadena was this evering, between the hours of 7 and 12, the scene of the most unique and enthusiastic demonstration in her his- tory—the ratification of McKinley's elec- tion. Pandemonium was et loose. The peo- ple turned out en masse, with tin horns, drums, bells, tomtoms and every ear- splitting device known. The Americus Club in tul uniform, 200 m number, marcbed the streets, ted by a drum and bugle corps and the Pasadena band. It was followed by 150 members of the Patri- otic Lesgue in uniform aud hundreds of citizens and small b Twenty young business men, armed shotguns, kept up almost continuous firing as the proces- sion passed along. At intervals carts upon which red fire wi urned were drawn by boys and decorated with flags. The streets were crowded with men, women and ¢hil- dren, each vieing with tbe other ia shout- ing, while cannon and anvils added to the din. Fireworks and skyrockets were let loose, 2nd the whale town apparently could find no sufficient outlet for the joy over McKigley’s election. A general round-up was made at Hay- market square, where fireworks and speeches were in order, everybody present contributing-to the celebration with con- stant applause and noise. T St SOLANO €COU-7Y CONTEST. RBaleigh Barcar Disposed to Fight for a 1 Senatorial Seat. SUISUN, Cawn., Nov. 9.—The Board of Suopervisors met to-day to canvass the Solano County election returns. They had recorded but one precinct ‘when Raleigh Barcar, the defeated candidate for State Senator on the Demncratic ticket, sugegested to the chairman of :the board that the unused ballots beinspected before passing on returns. Chairman McGettigan demanded of | County Clerk Halliday the delivery of the ballots in question. Charles” Newmsdn, chairman of the Republican' County Cen- tral Committee, protested vigorously, and after a short but heated discussion >the. | action of the board and the count is slowly | crowded by an enthusi 4 | fires turned night into day 2nd two sets of clerk announced that he would not deliver the ballots. The Boara of Supervisors, being Damocratic by one majority, it was gecided on a majority vote to proceed no further unless Clerk Halliday acceded to its demand. While the wrangling was going on Mr. Barcar drew up a writ of mandate asking Superior Judge Buckies to order the clerk to deliver to the Board of Supery:sors all unused baliots, the baliot stubs and re- jected ballots. District Attorney Devlin appeured for the defendant and the case was heard at once. The court held that it was not the auty of the canvass- ing board to determine whether the ballots sent out had all been used and accounted for; that the election board must put the uncounted baliots In the packages contalning the other voted bal- lots, and these’ packages could not be opened, and as the clerk bad not refused to perform any y required of him by law the writ nied. As the unofficial returns gave J. J. Luchsinger, the Republican nominee, but 9 majority, it appears from remarks dropped by Democratic politicians to-day that Mr. Barcar will contest his election. When the canvassing board had ad- journed this evening the returns of but thirteen precincts had been counted, re- culting in no changes in the resuits as announced already. The precincts ai- ready counted are those in Vallejo and Benicia townships. s o GUY WOULD BE SPEAKER, The San Disgo Assemblyman Announces His Candidacy. SAN DIEGO, Cir., Nov. 9.—Hon. W. R. Guy, Assemblyman of the Seventy- ninth Distriet, which comprises the city of San Diego, has suthorized the an- nouncement that he will be _a candidate for the Speakership at the forthcoming session of the Legislature. Mr. Guy was re-elected on Tuesday by a hanasome ma- jority. At the close of the last session te was urged by a numoer of friends to run for the speakership, and his re-election has resuited .in_his candidacy. Mr. Guy said to-day: “I bave consulted friends both in and out of the Legislature and they have advised me to run, believing I have a good show of winning. Among these friends are Judge Waymire of San Fran- cisco and Assembiyman Bullagf Los An- geles. The only other candidates, so far as Iam yet aware, are Frank Coombs of Napa and Mr. Dettman of San Francisco.

Mentioned as a Compromise Candidate for United States Semator. SEATTLE, Wasg., Nov. 9.—A boom has been started for William I. Bryan for United States Senator from- this State. The silver fusionists will control the sena- torship. The constitution of Washington provides that to be eligible to office the | candidate shall be merely an “'inhabitant” | of the State at the time of his election, so that the fusion majority could elect Mr. Bryan without auy trouble. Richard Windsor Sr., the Popufistieader in Wash-~ ington,”“and-_James. iltop’ . Lewis, Democratic Fusionist,~anembes-elect of Congress, are rival candidates for the | senatorship.

It was finally decided by the board to accede to the request of Mr. Jail- | liard and totalize the vote of each precinct as counted. Mr. Hitchcock. for the Re- publicans entered a formal protest to the proceeding. ey S Cloverdale Ratification.

SOLDIER, LAWYER AND FRIEND His Passing Brings Sorrow to the People of an Entire Com- muaity. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Nov. 9.— After a two weeks’ illness, Colonel An- drew B. Paris died in this city to-day. He was the fusion candidate for Superior Judge at the Iate election, and, while cam- paigning on the desert, caught a severe cold, but the real cause of his death was Bright's disease. Bince Friday he had been very low and there was little hope of his ultimate recovery. His sufferings were intense, and while under the influ- ence of opiates at 9:30 this morning he passed away as though falling into & gen- tle sleep. Colonel Andrew B. Paris was bora in Virginia in 1839 and was educated in the Virginia Military Institute, from which he was graduated in 1860. Upon the break- ing out of the war he enlisted in the Con- federate army, served four years, rose to the rank of colonel and at the close of hostilities waschief of artillery of General Hoke's division of General Joseph E. Johnston’s army. After the war he studied law in the University of Virginia and was admitted to the bar in 1865. Locating in Charlotte County, Virginia, he practiced his profession until 1873. v 1n 1874 Colonel Paris came to California and settled in San Bernardino, and he has been actively and prominently connected with the bar of the county ever since, and bhas been employed in some of the most noted cases triea in local courts. His special strength was in the trial of crimi- nal causes. In 1886 he was elected Prose- cuting Attorney of San Bernardino County for two years, and was recognized as one of the most efficient prosecutors who ever fillea that office. Asalocal orator Colonel Paris was very popalar, and his services were usually in demand on all occasions where terse, pithy & hes were in order. On_August 10, 1889, he was joined in marriage with the daughter of Colonel Larkin Smith of Virginia, an estimable lady whom he had known from child- hooq, but only a short period of domestic 27th of July in the foliowing year Mrs. Paris died. Two years ago Colonel Paris ran for Attorney-General of the State on the Democratic ticket bat was defeated, and his next political .veaturs was his race for tion, in which he was likewise defeated. ‘Ihe news of Colonel Paris' deatn’ this morning was received with the greatest possible regret and sorrow by all San Bernardino people. Good nature, affu- bility .and courteous treatment of every- body were distinguishing characteristics of Colonel Paris, and no citizen enjoyed the personz! love and estéem of the citi- | zens of Sau Bernardino to a greater ex- tent than he. To-day the Bar Association held 2 meet- ing and decided to attend the funeral in a body and appointed a committee to pre- paze resolutions relating to bis life and death. On metion of Superior Judge- | Elect Frank Oster, court adjourned this aiternoon out of respect for the memory of Colonel Paris. Mr. Oster was Colonel Paris’ opponent in the late campaign. The funeral will take place on Wednesday at 2 o'clock. TheKnights of Pythias wiil bave charge of the obsequies, assisted by the ‘Woodmen of the World and the Bar Asso- ciation. PORTLAND INVENTION. Seli-Propelling Engine Said to Have Been in Constant Operation for Four Years. PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 9.—Paul Heil- brun, an employe of the Southern Pacific Company, claims ne has solved the problem of perpetzal motion. This creator—for he cannet be classed as an in- ventor—says that in 1891 he perfected an engine that ran 365 successive days by air generated through its own motion. At tpe expiratior of that time it ceased operation because of a scarcely perceptible leakage in one of th e air-generative tubes. It was three months ere he discovered this trouble. Now, he says, the engine has been running four years withont ces- sation by the self-generating air process alone. ~ “None but my wife and myself have set eyes upon my great Work,” said Mr. Heil- brun to-day, *‘and none shall, till I return from Washington City with a patent. I shall endeavor to patent every minute detail of my work 80 as to escape future hitigation with imitators. Regarding my work I'll say this without basnfulness, that it will supersede elec- tricity and steam. The generation of air, "according to my process, costs aothing, and my engine will ceaselessly operate till it is physically worn out. That's practi- cally perpetual motion, isn’t it2% Mr. Heilbrun predicts that in the course of a few years engines after his own model, but with improvements suggested by bril- liant creative minds, will supplant all otber motive power. His enthusiasm leads him to prophesy that before the close of the current century ocean steamships and transcontinental railway trains will be operated by this power, and with much more safety than by steam or electricity. Mr. Heilbran is now past 60° years of age, and when the idea first struck him that ‘the construction of a perpetual motion engine was a possibility he bad a fortune of $40.000. All this, besides his spare earnings, he exhausted in experi- menting, and in visiting others riaing the same hobby in other parts of the worid, wherever he believed he could learn some- thing.

BANTA ROSA, Car. Nov. 9.—A des- perate young thief, giving the name of George Reeder, escaped from jail here to- day. On Saturdayafigrnoon Reederen- tered a dry-goodsstore here and demanded 25 cents with whicn to get a meal. Upon being refused- he left the store, taking with him a bojt of flannel. This action was observed by several persons upon the street, and two of the clerksin the store gave chase. They overtook the thief, who had been joined by twocrm- proions, and . the trio not only refused to give up the goods, but assaulted the clerks with ungentle hands. Reeder was subsequently arrested and demanded a jury trsl, bis case being set for this afterncon at 2 o’clock. Promptly at that hour the jury was assembled, the Judge took his seat upon the bench and a constable was sent to bring the prisoner.

STOCKTON, Cair, Nov. 9.—The ten Chinese who were arrested yesterday for the murder of Sue Jack at Staten Island were discharged to-dsy for want. of evi- dence. The inquest developed the fact that two pistols of different caliber were used in the murder of the garaener. It is believed now by the cfticers that the slayers of Sue Jack came from San Franeisco and were able to get away alter the killing. Z The ten Chinese under arrest. testified that they were afraid to go outside of their cabin after they heard the shots fired, and for this reason they did not see the mur- derers of their employer.® The Sheriff's ofice is still at work on the case and the aid ot the San Francisco de- tective force will be called into requisi- tion. FAEED AT LS MGELES Three Am>rican Railway Union Leaders Released From Prison. Pardoned by President Cleveland After Nearly a Year of Captivity. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Nov. 9.—The de- termined and persisteat efforts of organ- ized labor of Southern Califi nia in be- half of Philip Stanwood, William H. Clune and Isaac Ross, convicted of detaining the United States mails here during the railway strike of 1894, confined in the Los Angeles County Jzil, have been crowned with success. . Scores of petitions had gome to the ex- ecutive department of the Government at Washineton without producing the slightest result. The lsst petition was given in charge of Samuel Gompers, presi- | dent of the National Federated Trades, and was addressed to the Department of Justice. This petition seems to have been effective and to-day an order for the re- | lease of these men reached this city, the | Prasident pardoning all of them. | The pardoned men had been in jail here | fos nearly a_year, after a memorable trial | in the United Sfates Distriet Court, Judge | Ross presiding. THe sentence he impo¥ed | had afterward been confirmed by the| Supreme Court. The sentence was a fine | of $1 and eignteen months in the County | Jail of Los Angeles County. | The men were all members of the Ameri- ‘ can Railway Union, Stanwood being presi- { dent of the local lodge of the order. They | were employes of the Southern Pacific ' Railroad Comvany as trainmen, aad | were pursued with relentless rigor until | convicted. Their guilt, if gmity at all, | consisted of “constructive’ obstruction | of the Unitea States mails in refusing | to bandle trains partly made up of Pull- | man cars, although it was then and is now well known that no mail of any descrip- tioo wasever carried on a Puliman car. None of these men took part in any overt act against the road or any employe, | and their sentence for “constructive” 1 is probably without a parallel in the his- tory of jurisprudence in the United States. s oo Randsburg Men Accused. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Nov. 9—W, O. Merrill was to-day brought. to this city from Randsburg mining camp, where he | had been arrestedfon a charge of defraud- ing creditors.

Coyote-Scalp Frauds Allowed to Rest Until Next Thursday. AFFILIATED CCLLEGES CASE. Budd Suggests a Modification of the Ruling Regarding Use of State Rock. SACRAMENTO, CaL, Nov. 8. —The State Board of Examiners met to-day and considered various claims against the State. Major Black of the Seventh Regi- ment presented a bill of $46 50 for salary and expenses while attending the faneral of Lieutenant-Governor Millard, and it was allowed. Ed F. Ingalls, the brave en- gineer who prevented tne looting ofa train near Davisville some time since, by shooting one of the robbers and running his train into Sacramento at full speed, pfesented a claim in the sum of $300, and it was recommended to the attention of the coming Legislature. The State Bureau of Highways requestea permission to sell its span of horses. The animals had cost $100 and were purchased with the idea thatit would be cheaper to buy and sell at the end of the season than to rentateam during the summer. It was grsnted permission to sell for any amount over $75, otherwise to turn the animals out to pasture. Referring to the opinion rendered by Attorney-General Fitzgerald that Folsom rock could not be used in the Affiliated Colleges buitding in San Francisco, Gov- ernor Budd said to Attorney-General Fitz- gerald that he did not believe that all the | facts had been laid befors the Attorney- | General. Fitzgerald said this might be true; all he had to do was to pass upon the contract as presented to him, and he had done this, and his opinion was in strict accordance with the law. Governor Budd said he did not donbt that, but he intended baving alj the papers in the case vresented to see if the opinion could not be modified. Prior to the opening of the session of the Board of Examiners there was a general discussion of this question of the Affiliated Colleges. Tke contractor who was to build the stracture had thrown $10,000 oft the contract price, provided he cou!d use Staie rock, and it had been so ordered. The decision ol the Attorney-Generul at this time that the 10ck cannot be legaily used, | as it comes into competition with free labor, has mixed things up considerably. In the matter of coyote claims Governor Budd said there was no question but that ross frauds bad been committed in Fresno ounty. In 1891 but 170V scalps had been turped in. In 189z they numbered 2300, while 1n the last quarter of 1894 1561 scalps bad been presented. The claims from Tu- lare, Madera and Kern counties also re- quired /investigation, and be was in favor of throwing all these claims aside witn the recommendation that the Legislature investipate them. Secretary of State Brown was in favor of investigating all the counties, but the | Governor said that while some of the counties’ claims for scaipsbore fraud on their face others gave mo indication of fraud. Among these was Aiameda County. e added that his idea was to have the Legislature set aside sufficient money to | investigate the claims and to pay them, and give the board power to investigate | them. Brown said there was sufficient money on hand to make the investigations now, and he wanted to get the matter off his bands. The quesiion was finally post- | poned until next Thursday, as was also the consideration of an offer of 8150,&»1 worth of San Francisco depot bonds at ! 3.35 per cent, the bonds being 4 per cent. Daring the meeting Attorney-General Fitzgerald said that he had been asked by | members of the State Board of Health if | they could use money appropristed to | prevent contagious diseases for the pur-| pose of paying the expenses of tri ]E-z 1 to attend bhealth conventions. told them he believed they could, provided they stated in their claims that the moaey was expeanded in gathering information | There was an informal discussion of polhtics, and some remark having been made about the railroad employes in tbis city voting for Bryan and silver, Governor Budd said be would stili stand by his ante-declaration that employes had been coerced. He said.he had in his pocket a ticket that was given by a railroad com- pany to one of its employes, and ihat | there were others. —_—— MURDER AND SUICIDE.
