Instructive Addresses by Scientific Men Mark the Cluss of a Highly Successful Session. FRESNO, Carn, Jan. 21.—The Fresro County Farmers’ Institule convened at Malaga this morning with a much larger attendance than was had yesterday. The day’s programme proved as snceessful as did that of the day before and the farmers are much pleased with the results of the two days’' session. They have learned much from the lectures of the university professors on what has been accomplished by science in the art of farming and many were surprised to learn what college pro- fessors knew of the business. : The first on_the programme this morn- ing was a talk by Professor Loughbridge College of Agriculture at Berkeley [he Use of Fertilizers.” Farmers in this new country bave not yet had occasion to study this important subject, but they realize that the time is now at hand when they must give it some tention. Kor this reason Professor Loughbridge’s intelligent and instructive address was well received. Educated by the results of the professor’s studies and experiments the farmers will undoubtedly be in much better position to fertilize their lands advantageously. A. P. Hayne made an address on “Vine Disease,” which was, of course, a subject of sbsorbing interest to the vineyardists. He discussed the subject in its various phasesand from a standpoint of experi- ence and study. Fresno vineyardists have thus far in the history of the industry escaped any general disease. They dread it none tuve less, however, and evinced an eagerness o gain knowi- edge concerning it so that they may be better prepared if the disease should show itself, The last on the programme was a talk on *“Good Roads,” by Mr. Irwin, State Commissioner of Public Highways. 1t was favorably received and his ideas for | | the betterment of the public thorough- fares were g1v n the warm indorsement of the farmers. This closed the session of the institute, which has been highly suc- cessful indeed. That this movement by the State Uniyersity is a commendable one was evidenced to a marked degree by the vay the Fresno County farmers re- ceived it. ———— KLAMATH FALLS TRAGEDY. Town Marshal Gordon Kills Tom McKay, a Noted Character, Who Was Look.ng for Trouble. KLAMATH FALLS, Or,, Jan. 1L—Tom McKay, a noted character in this section, was shot and instantly killed by Newi Gordon, Town Marshal, about 4 o’clozk this morning. Gordon and Charles D. Wilson, a saloon-keeper, were standing in front of the Linkville Hotel, when McKay, who was intoxicated, accused Wilson of talking about his family. McKay started for Wilson, saying he would cut his giz- zard out. He struck Wilson and knocked him over against the buildinz. McKay then started after Goraon, who drew his revolver and told McKay to stop. After repeated warnings to stop McKay at- tempted to strike Gordon, when Gordon tired, severing the spinal cord in McKay's neck and killing him instanily, McKay was a large, powerful man, and when drinking was dangerous. He wasa hali- rotlier of Donald and Dr. Wilham McKay, well known 1n Eastern Oregon. Gordon gave himself up to the Deputy Sheriff. — DISASTROUS FIRE AT PORTLAND. Large Warehouse of C. F. Weber & Co Destroyed—Loss About $200,000. Fully Insnred, PORTLAND, O=., jan. 2L.—At 8 o’clock this morning the warehouse of C. F. Weber & Co. on Petiygrove street was totally destroyed by fire. The evening papers fix the loss at $200,000, but further inquiry reduces it 10 per cent of that figure. The stock and building were also insured, but the amount of the insurance | for the same reason could not be learned. All the policies are held by San Francisco agencies, where the headquarters of the | firm are located. It is estimated that the | loss on the stock will reach $20,000, and perhaps more. Nothing was saved, and even books, correspondence and other records of the firm that had not been placed in the saies and which cannot be replaced were destroyed. The origin of the fire is a mystery. (e THREE SHOIS AT A THIEF. Quite @ Commation in Fresno’s Prin- cipal Thoroushfare. FRESNO, Cag., Jan. 2L.—A. D. Michael, who keeps & small cutlery-stand on Mari- posa street, between I and H, caught a thief in the act of stealing his wares about 6 o'clock -in the evening. Michael grap- pled with the man, intending to hold him until an officer could be called, but the thief broke from iisgrasp and ran. Mi- chael then pulled a pistol and fired three shots without effect at the fugitive, who turned up an alley and escaped. The shooting, which took place on the prin- cipal- thoroughfare of the city, caused a great deal of excitement, and it is strange that some one was not hit by the flying bullets. —_—— 84N RAFAKL MOURNS.

Iatent Is Shown and the Public Generally Is Pleased. Moss-Covered Indictments Against Ex- County Clerk Packard Sum- marily Dismissed BAKERSFIELD, Car., Jan. 2L—The trial of District Attorney Fay on an action to remove him from office preferred by the Grand Jury in the early part of 1896, alleging that he had embezzled certain school-land fees to the amount of over $600, was concluded here to-day, aiter oc- cupying the attention of the court for two aaye, with a verdict of not guilty, requir- ing only five minates for the jury to fe- turn its verdict. JudgeW. M. Conley of Madera presided and in his charge to the jury he made plain and forcible the point that it was the jury’s duty to tind whether the de- fendant appropriated the money with in- tent to willfully defraud the county and if 80 to render a verdick of guilty, if notto acquit him. Jesse Hardesty of the Attorney-Gen- eral's office represented the people and a local firm the defendant. Fay openly claimed that he appropriated the fees in quession to his own use, but aid so be- Jieving that he was entitled to them|under the law governing his office. He said_that he had consulted with other District Attorneys in the State and also other eminent counsel, and they were also of the opinion that he had a right to the fees, though the court refused to ad- mit this testimony. Fay stated on the stand that he and the Attorney-General differed op the subject and that he had so told the Grand Jury that returned the in- dictment against him. The Attorney- General filed' an opinion with the Grand Jury. No one here belieyes that Fay had any criminal intent when he kept the fees, and therefore the verdict meets with general approval. The last of the indictments of the noto- rious lon: Grand Jury of two years ago are now confing before the court to be beard. Judge W. M. Conley of Madera is trying them, in view of Judge Mahon having had connection with the cases as counsel before he took office. The first were called this afternoon. They were those azainst ex-County Clerk N. R. Packard. They were four of them, and they were returned solely upon the evidence of ti.e Grand Jury’s expert, Edgar Moore of Los An eles, who made many thousands of dollars out of the county for his alleged expert services, The whole four cases possibly involve $20—no more. These indiciments ailege inat Packard embezzled f=es of the office to thisamount. They have been hanging fire in the court for ‘over two years, during which time Packard has been anxious for them to come to trial. When the first one was called up it was shown that Packard bad the Treasurer's receipt for the amount alleged.to be in- voived, and the court immediately dis- missed the charge, The next one was submitted on the ground that it was a misdemeanor and the court therefore had no jurisdiction, and the other two were also submitted on the ground that defexdant had a right to such fees under the ldw. The court will pass upon them to-morrow and the gen- eral belief is that he will likewise dismiss them. Packard is one of the oldest and most honored citizens of this county and nat- urally he has felt the stigma of naving criminal indictments hangng over him all these years. However, he and his iriends have never had the least doubt as to the outcome, On his own appiication Expert Moore is quartered at the jail, not caring, it is said, 10 appear on the sireets after the complete refutal of all his charges against prominent citizens.

PACIFIC GROVE, CaL, Jan. 21.—J. Cunningham, a residert of this ylace, was to-day committed to Agnews Insane Asy- lum. Cunningham’s case is a strange one, and to a degree his collapse was sudden, though many ot his friends have noticed signs of mental derangement for some time past. He was an ardent worker in the local Salvation Army corps and car- ried bis zeal almost to the point of fanati- cism. At times he would conceive the idea that 1t was impossible for him to be “:good” and do right and would give up trying, feeling that «vil spints so beset bim that their influence would connteract all his efforts against them. This delu- sion only lasted a short time, however, and he would soon regain his normal state of mind. Last week, while he was at work at Stewart’s ranch, about twelve miles from this tluce, one of ‘‘the devil spells,” as he cailed them, came upon him, and it seemed impossible for bim to shake it oft. Btewart, his employer, who is also 8 mem- ber of the Balvation Army, tried to reason with and persuade Cunningham, but words were useless, and suddenly Can- ningham began to cry that devils were after him, for he could see them, and starting at a run came ail the twelve miles to Pacific Grove without chaneing his pace. When he reached this place he had become so violent that it was neces- sary to confine him. There has been no improvement in his condition since then. His case is deemed hopeless. —_——— Pacifio Grove Improvements, PACIFIC GROVE, Car., Jan. 21.—The Pacific Improvement Company is at work on various portions of its large property bereabouts, preparing for the yearly ad- vent of Eastern tourists and the regnlar summer visitors.

Ross Sher- man, his claspknife and two boisterons companions improvised the panic. Sherman and bis companions bosrded the car, an Ogden-avenue trailer, at La- salle street abotut 8 o’clock.
