THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1896. A ALY PLEADED FOR HIS LIFE Watchman Patterson Died at the Hands of Sam Black. - The Outlaw-Hunter Con'esses to the National City Murder., : His Companfon Gives the Authorities the D:tails of a Cold-Blooded Assassination. SAN DIEGO, €CaL., Dec. 26.—Sam Black, the siayer of John Patterson in an orange grove at National City last Wednesday night, has confessed. His confession is not in al form and he may recant when he comes to trial. But the confession of John Mitten, who was present when the ier occurred, practically settles the and Black ¢ the gallows. found yesterday and told cers kept the matter a close as confronted with the ion of Mitten and broke down; the efiant attitude he had assumed disap- red and he admitted tha: he had done shooting. ‘“*Mitten’s confession is about correct,” Le said coolly, *‘except that I called out twice to Patterson before I shot him. I thought he was a tramp trying to steal my rig. and after calling out twice withoat getting an answer I shot.”” Mitten’s confession portraysa murder ol a most cold-blooded kind.

Work on the Morena Dam, N:ar San Diego, Expedited by a Monster Blast. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Dec. 26.—The im portant work on the Moreno dam, forty- three miles east of San Diego, where the i water system is to be con- structed, was greatly hastened this after- noon by the explosion of a monster blast that dislodged 150,000 tens of rock below tl.e heel of the dam. This mass, which extends for 400 feet along the bed of the stream, and reaches an averare height of sixty feet, completely fils the canyon and itself constitutes a dam that will never be shaken under any fiood that can gather. The dam proper is about 200 feet above the mass. and the space intervening will be filled with rock carefully placed to give strength and golidity. At to-day’s blast 100,000 pounds of black and giant powder were used all at once. The black powder was used to give the low pushing force that hurled the mighty of rock into the gorge. The giant sirved Lo dislodge the mass and lift it up a second or two, allowing the black pow- der to do 1ts work. All the deposits of powder, which were placed in tunnels run at different levels in the hills, were connected by electric wires. The greatest care was taken to pre- vént accident and the affair was entireiy ghcecessful. The gigantic quantity of rock, ineluding bowlders as largs asa te sized business block, was placed exactly were the engineers planned, run- P Just before he | {ing tidin ning to within 225 feet of the dam, butnot touching it. ‘The scene at the moment of the explo- sion was one never to be forrottea. The signal was given and the foreman touched the button that sent a spark of fire to the heart of the powder magaziune all through the hill. A deep, confined roar, like the sound of an ocean wave, issued from the hill, which became alive with little spirals of dust. The hiliside rose as one piece three or four feet, but quickly split into all im- aginable shapes, and “seemed to move out from the body of the hill as if pushed by a gigantic hand. It poised over the verge an instant, the nowse rapidly increasing, and then fell into the dam with a tre- mendous roar. A dust-cloud, yellow and opaque, swirled over the wreckage until the rock had fallen, and then it gathered and hung there for an hour. Small rock rattled down the jageed billside for balf an hour, and no one atiempted to zet very near the vile for fear of being crushed by rock fall- ing from above. i Another blast of 80,000 pounds is being prepared and will be fired soon aiter January 1. It is to furnish material to complete the dam proper, an! to connect it with the great pile thrown in to-day. The total iength of the dam on the stream will be 600 feet. It will be 130 feet in beight. ROMANCE © CRAMENTO, Father and Son M-et After Twenty-two Tears' Separation. SACRAMENTO, CaL, Dec. 26.—G. M.

Father and son wiil shortly reinrn to Missouri. e Santa Barbara Socialism. SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Dec. 26.— This city, which gave birth to the new so- ciallstic labor party on November 21 last, may well be proud of its offspring. Among the last speakers to address this thriving organization, composad of rich aud poor, was Harold Sidebotham, a wealthy gentieman of Montecito, who read a lengthy paper on *The Survival of the Fittest.” He was ably answered this evening by H. J. Weeks, a political econo- mist of Santa Barbara. Mr. Weeks com- pared the survival-of-the-fittest theory io | the inhabitants of the South Sea Islands, who killed and cooked their capiives of the weaker tribes. AR Santa Cruz Water Fight.

St. Louws Poclrooms naided. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 26.—All the pool- rooms in town were raided by the police this afterncon and the proprietors and employes lucked up. Since the recent de- cision by the State Supreme Court upon a test case that the auti-poolroom law was unconstitutional, the layers of odds have flourished as never before. An unrepealed and forzotten law was found, however, that the State relies upon for conviction. Tie wagon-loads of pencilers were bailed out promptly by a local politician. They will resume business Monday and again be arrested. B gR Failure of a Coal Company. COLUMBUS, Ouro, Dec. 26.—The Co- Iumbus and Hocking Coal Mining Com- pany, which escaped the hands of a receiver last summer whem it was hard pressed by the holder of its bonds—tne Astor Estate—went into the hands of Jay O.

Calve in * Carmen.” NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 26.—*Carmen’’ was given to a large Christmas-night audi- i ence last evening, Mme. Calve appearing in the title role.

SCHWEIZER WANTS AN OPEN INQUIRY The Accused Fresnoite Asks That He Be Arrested Immediately. Eager to Prove Hs Innccence of Detective Harrison’s Charges. Grand Jury Wil Determine Whether He Scught to Purchase Marder. FRESNO, CaL, Dec. 6.—The Grand Jury will reconvene on Monday and take up the investigation of the case of Charles A. Schweizer, whom certain persons charge with having hired a man to kill Solomon Lehmann last summer. The whole case is shrouded in mystery, but most people are inclined to give Schweizer the benefit of the doubt, owing to his hitherto unas- sailable reputation. An unusual amount of interest is being taken, and every Fres- noite will anxiously wait to see what the Grand Jury will do. When THE CALL of Thursday morning, containing a full account of the evidence ageinst Schweizer which bhad been sub- mitted to the District Attorney’s office, was received Thursday evening Mr. Schweizer immediately penned a letter to District Attorney Snow demanding that he be arrested forthwith, so that he could have an opportunity to vindicate himsell. He also demanded that the investigation te held not behind the closed doors of the Grand Jury room, bot in open court. Mr. Snow paid no attention to the letter, and stated to-day that he would lay the case before the Grand Jury, as ha believed that it came directly within the scope of the work of that body. T. de Marais, who is being prominently connected with the case as the District Attorney’s principal informer, appeared in the city to-day for the first time since the charges against Schweizer have been made public. He is plowing on a ranch, which he has rented near Fowler, and bas remained quietly there for some time. { When approached by a CALL correspond- ent to-day and asked concerning his con- nection with the Schweizer case he be- came very nervous and refused to talk. When asked concerning the report that he murdered a business partner in the mountains a few years ago he blurted out | that the man was now alive in Mexico. John Harrison, the detective who worked up the sensation, has gone to San Jose to spend the holidays with his fam- ily. He resolutely denies that he is en- gaged in a blackmailing scheme, e FIRE NEAR FOWLER, The Former Residence of D. W. Park- lnrst Destroyed. FRESNO, Car, Dec. 26 —The former residence of D. W. Parkhurst, situated a quarter of a miie east of Fowler and ten miles south ot this city, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The total loss { wasin the neighborhood of $10,000, and the insurance amounts to about $6500. The residence was one of the finest in the county, and was built five vears ago by Mr. Parkhurst at a cost of $8000. He has since gorne through insclvency, and it had passed into th- ownership of the Bank of California of San Francisco. How the fire started 13 a mystery, and a suspicion of incendiarism is entertained. The residence was occunied by Judge A. Albrecht and family. They were awakened by the smoke barely in time 10 etcape with their lives. The flames broke out in a room forme: occupied by Mr. Park- hurst as a business office, but there had been no fire in that quarter the day before. SANTA CLAUS IN FLAMES. Badly Burned Whils Officiating at a Fresno Schoolhouse. FRESNO, CaL., Dec. 26.—George Brown was seriously burned while acting as Santa Claus at a Christmas celebration at the Round Mountain schoolhouse last evening. He appeared in the regular make-up of the snow-covered traveler, and the cotton flakes were ignited by a candle on the tree from which he was picking the presents for the children. In an iostant his clothing was in lames. Brown dashed down the aisle toward the door and caused a stampede. Men, women and children were thrown into a state of pandemonium. Many jumped througb the windows, taking panes, sash and all with them. Several were seriously cut. A number of men retained their presence of mind, however, and smothered the flames on Brown with their coats. He was badly burned, but it is believed that he will recover. He is a teamster. e LAY CLAIN TO A RIVER. Henry Miller and the Lux Heirs Proposs to Divert the Waters of the San Joaquin. FRESNO, CaAL.,, Dec. 26.—The San Joa- quin and Kings River Canal and Irriga- tion Company by its presiden:, Henry Mitler, to-day filed with County Recorder Machen a ciaim on the water flowing in the San Joaquin River and the Fresno Slough in thiscounty at a point just below their junction, to the extent of 30,000 inches, measured under a four-inch pres- sure. At this point the company pro- poses to divert the water and convey 1t in a canal in a northwesterly direction to irrizate a vast area of land in the north- western portion of this county, and in the western part of Merced. g This canal is to be eighty feet wide at the bottom, with a slope-of two to one, and six feet deep. In its construction there wiil be utilized a natural slough which is about five miles long. There will alzo be utilized to carry the 30,000 inches of water to the place’ of its intended use an auxiliary canal for the whole or the greater part of its length. This ditch will be fifty feet wide at the bottom, witha slope of two to one, and four feet dee; The instrument filed yesterday with the County Recorier states that *‘the purvoses for which the San Joaquin and Kings River Canal and Irrigation Company claim said water are for “mechamcal pur- poses, for watering stock and for irrigat- ing lands; it is to be used on all the lands which lie north and east of the line of the above described canais and which lie south and west of the San Joaquin River.” This great enterprise is being promoted by Henry Miller and the managers of the Lux estate. They own most of the land which will be benefited. Miller and the Lux heirs at present have a suit pending in the Superior Court of this county against the Fresno Flume and Irrigation Company to enjoin it from diverting water from Stephenson Creek for its reser- voir at the dam on Pine Ridge. Stephen- son Creek is an important tributary of the | San Joaquin, and the Miller and Lux pzo- ! ple practically claim that they own the whole river system, and as riparianists have a right to the waters of Stephenson Creek prior to thatof the flume company. —_——— Rugpert Sentenced to Prison. FRESNO, CaArL, Dec. 26.—George Ru- pert, politician and saloon-keeper, who has been in business in this city for many years, was to-day sentenced by Justice Austin to serve six months in the County Jail for making an unprovoked attack on a drunken Mexican in his saloon a few days ago, Rupert will appeal to the Su- perior Court. It is understood that Rupert sent friends to Judge Austin to intercede for him, which aroused the court’s wrath. ONE .OF THE BACKERS LEFT OUT. Peculiar and Interesting Complications Grow Out of Bryan's Lecturiug Scheme. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dac. 27.—The Journal this morning prints a story of William J. Bryan’s sudden change of managers in connection with his lectures. It runs as follows: John Roach of this city conceived the idea that Bryan would be a star lecture attraction and mentioned his idea to E. V. Foote, who was formerly a partner of E. 8. Stokes in the Hoff- man House. Foote was greatly taken with this plan and volunteered to get a backer for the enterprise. He mentioned the name of Passenger Agent McBee of the Soutnern Railway, who is stationed at Norfolk, Va., and McBee agreed to furnish the capital, being well acquainted with Foote and Roach. The selection of an experienced theat- rical man was necessary and Alex Com- stock was selected. Comstock telegraphed an offer to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln, setting forth an agreement to pay him $1000a lecture for a series of fifty lectures. After Mr. Bryan’s guarantee was paid the profits of the concern were to be di- vided as follows: One-half to McBee, who furnished the money; one-half to Comstock, who contributed the experi- ence, and one-half of Comstock’s half to Roach, who was the owner of the idea. McBee and Comsiock went to Atlanta, Comstock traveling on money furnished by Roach. It was agreed that the three— Roach, Comstock and McBee—were to meet in Lincoln to close up the contract with Mr. Bryan. Roach nad a provisional agreement with McBee and Comstock that, if the plan went through, his name was to be featured on the bills. He was very par- ticular about this. McBee and Comstock arrived in Lincoln before Roach got there, They closed their contract with Mr. Bryan and McBee de- posited $10,000 in the Lincoln National Bank to bind the agreement, while Mr. Roach was somewbere in Illinois. ‘The morning after the comtract was signed Roach bought a newspaper on the train, and the first item that met his eyes was the story of it. He saw that Com- stock had ignored him entirely, and, as he thought of other men getting the benefit | of hisidea, he grew exceedingly angry. | When he arrived in Lincoln a few hours | Comstock. They were just getting aboard | an eastbound train and Roach goton the same train. After a short and heated ar- gument Roach swung his right arm and landed his fist with great force ¢n Com- stock’s jaw. ‘While he was getting his hand straight- ened out for another blow Comstock re- treated to the smoking-car and McBee made soothing attempts to moliify Roach. The latter wanted to break up the whole agreement right there, but he was persuaded to wait until a satisfactory ar- rangement couiad be made. On this the trio parted, McBee and Comstock going to Ailanta and Roach returning to New York. Affairs in the direction of a satisfactory agreement did not progress rapidiy. Roach insisted on gotting his one-half of Comstock’s one-half profits. Down in Atlanta, Comstock was making dates for Mr. Bryan zll over the country, asking guarantees as high as $3500 from the managers of opera-houses and lyceum bureaus. He got big guarantees or he would not close a date, and the more profits he saw in sight the less he feit like delivering up half of his share to Roach. Roach’s anger was smouldering. He in sisted on his share as originally agreed upon, and when Mr. Bryan delivered his opening lecture in Atlanta, Roach went on there. Mr. Bryan lectured to a full house in a theater at Atlanta that figured up $2300 at the regular prices of admission when every seat is occupied, although Mr. Com- stock’s box-office returns showed but $1500 " in the house. Roach stormed around and finaliy went to Mr. Bryan and told his story. ¢ The revelation wasa shock to Mr. Bryan, but he was under contract. He talked the matter over with McBee and Roach and Comsteck, but the three coula not come to an agreement and Mr, Bryan finally decided to continue the new man- agement of H. Briges & Co. i o Shot During a Dance. DONIPHAN, Mo., Dec. 26.—At a dance at the opera-house early this morning William Burge, while intoxicated, in- svlted a woman and a general fighten- sued. Burge drew a pistol and fired five shote, instantly killing Elijah Cotton, a bystander, and fatally wounding James E. Bell. Burge, who is the ton of a minister, is under arrest. —— Relansed From Holloway Jail. LONDON, Exa., Dec. 26.—Colonel H. F. White and Colonel Gray, who together with Dr. Jameson, £ir John Willoughby and Major R.White were convicted of par- ticipation in the raid led by Jameson to the Transvaal in December, 1895, were re- leased from Holloway jail this morning, their sentences of five months each having expired.
