SAN JOS CAL., May 6.—Edwara Saltzman, plaintiff in a $51.000 damage suit against the Sunset Telepuone Com- pany and the First-street Railway Com- pany, was on the witness-stand all day. He told substantially the same story as related in the complaint. On May 15, 1896, while engaged in stringing wires for telephone company at the corner of First ana San Fernando streets Salizman came in contact with a live wire. He re- ceived a shock and was thrown to the ground, a distance of twenty-five feer. | Both kneecaps were broken and other in- juries were sustained. For this he wants $30,000 damages and $1000 for medical ai- tendance. - L ghting Company Seeking a Franehise, SAN JOSE, CAr, May 6.—The Penin- sule Lighting Company of San Francisco has petitioned the Board of Supervisors for a franchise for filty years to er ct poles | and wires for the transmission and distri- butio: of electricity in the county of Santa Clars, from the town of Paio Alto to the city of San Jose. alone the Embar- cadero road and the San Francisco and San Jose road, in the towns of Maytield and Mountain View, for lighting, illumi- nating, heating, power and purposes for which electriciiy may be used. bl mt RiCH PLACERS NEAR CARSON. the Channel Hy- Raycraft Brother's Strk: of an 0id Rwver by draulicking. CARSON CITY, Nev., May 6.—The channel of the Buckeye placers has been reached beyond a doub: by the Raycraft brothers. The discovery was made oy hydraulicking 1n the face of a small hiil which recedes from the canyon, where operations have been going on for some time, and the work had gone but twelve feet when the immense bed of gravel which comprised the old river channel was uncovered. It was tested and found to be very rich and some large nuggets were taken out. The exact width has not been ascer- s yet, butalready 100 feet have been exposed and neither edge has been struck. Prospecting was done down to twenty-six feet and then the miners struck a harder stratum than the rather low hydraulic pressure of water would penetrate. A snaft and drift was then putin ana it was found that the gravel continued on down under this stratum and was even richer than the top, while the gold was coarser. No attempt, however, will be made to penetrate the lower bed this season in all probability beyond merely prosvecting it, and a further exploration of its riches will be postponed until better facilities are obtained for handling it. Besides there is plenty of pay gravel on top. - SHASTA RETKEA T SE. ECTED, Where Novihern California Teachers Will Meet in Convention. DU MUIR, CaLn., May 6.—The execu- ive committee of the Northern California ‘enchers’ Association has beld a meeting at Red Binff and selected Shasta Reireat, less than one mile from Dunsmuir, as the place for their convention, beginning August 23, It is expected that about 600 teachers and their friends will be present.

W. held an important meeting last night. This is the committee that had full charge of the Grand Parlor celebration which was held here during the latter part of last month. The object of the meeting was to finally settle ail marters pertaining to the celebration and to order bills paia. The secretary announced that i cash had been collected and th amount would be more than sufficient to meet all expenses incurred in prevaring for the Grand Parlor and entertaining them. The committee was unable to complete the business coming before it and adjourned to meet again to-morrow afternoon, when it is expected warrants will be ordered drawn to cover all indebt- edness, 4 CHINESE COMING FROM MEXICO Entering Southern Cali- fornia by Dubious Methods. A Piratical Craft Lands a Batch at San Juan Capistrano. They Are Prcmptly Taken In Tow by an Officer and Held for Deportation. LOS ANGELES, Car, May 6.—Contra- band Chinese are finding new ways of en- tering California, and the latest venture of the smugglers was detected off San Juan Capistrano yesterday. A long, low and piratical-looking craft hove to just off the mainland and a boat was lowered from the davits. Into the dory were low- ered seven Chinese, and they were rowed to the shore and landed, after which the schooner sailed away, leaving her passen- gere to their fate. The Chinese were met on shore by Don Marco Foster, Deputy United States Mar- shal, and all were arrested by him for illegally entering the United States. The officer would have detained the schooner also if he could have reached her, but she saiied off toward the north. Ivis supposed that the Chinese came | from Mexico, for their pockets were filled with Mex can coins and there were other evidences to lead to that conclusion. They undoubtedly had no right to land thus in the United ates, and the vessel captain who imported them evidentiy thought he would be safe in landing at Capistrano, where there was small likelihood of there being a Federal officer. Don Marco Foster is detaining his pris- oners at Capistrano and they will be brought here for trial and probable depor- tation. b IHE SUGAR-BOWL OF THE WOKLD, What an Industrial Commissioner Says of Southern Califernia. LOS ANGEL Car.,, May 6. — The office of industrial comn:issioner is a new one on the Santa Fe railway system, but it has been created and James A. Davis now occupies the position. Mr. Davis is in Los Angeles on official business. It is bis duty to study the conditions of the localities in which his company 1s inter- ested and to devise ways and means of assisting the progress and prosperity of the people. At the Chamber of Commerce to-day Mr. Davis said that in the East there has iong been an impression that Southern California was a sanitarium and nothing more, “but,” he said, ‘‘you can feel as- sured that the commercial vaine of the region excels its sanitary importance. I feel sure that there is no article thatis needed that cannot be produced here. “You do not know all the resources you have and most of them are as yet un- touched. There is sugar alone, There is no reason why Southern California should not be the sugar-bowl of the worid. The abrogation of the Hawaiian treaty will be of great beneitand you will see sugar- beet plantations spring up all over this part of the State. Lhe beauty of the sugar business is that the iarmers do no! need to be dependent on a refinery. Every farmer can bave his mill and ‘make his own unrefined sugar. “Then there is glass. There are any number of places here excellently adapted for the location of glass factories, and the sand is of the best quality. Take sea kelp. Why, off this southern coast there are im- mense beds of the same kelp that is found off the Orkney Isles and which is used to marufacture many valuable chemicals, including the iodides and bromides ana other producis.” g MKS. SNITIEL'S SUIT. Sceks Indemnity for injuries Sustained in a Collision. LOL ANGELES, CaL, May 6.—In the Superior Court to-day was begun the trial of the suit of D. Snitjer and his wife, Fan- nie B. Snitjer, against the Rock Island and Pacific Railroad Company. In Sep- tember, 1803, Mrs. Snitjer was a passenger on one of the cars of the defendant’s road between Colorado Springs and Chicago. At a station called Limon, Colo., a colli- sion occurred, which resulted in the seri- ous injury of Mrs. Snitjer. She was staken up, bruised and made sick by rea- son of the accident. She claims to have susteined permanent injuries, and asks $30,000 damages. The defendant claims the lady was an invalid before she pat- ronized the Rock Island road in 1893, and denies that she has been damaged in the sum of $30,000. — < Dunkards May Meet at Los dngeles. LOS ANGELES, Can, May 6.—It is probable that the next annual national conference of the Dunkards or Tunkers will be heid in this city in May1, 1808. The president of Lordsburg Coilege, a Dunk- ard, informs the Chamber of Commerce that it is the desire of the confersnce to meet here, and hie suggestsi that the cham- ber provide the necessary buildings ior the meetings. - Escapes From Whittier Captup. LOS ANGELES, CaL., May 6.—The new officers of the Whittier State School, who were ridiculed for permitting seven mates {0 escape, have redeemed them- selves. All the fieeing boys were captured and returned to the school without trouble, though the captors are allowed a fee of $10 a head as reward. Extra vigilance will now be observed ut the institution. MARIN GHOSTS WALK RIGHTLY. Arzo’s Ipparition i the County Jail Is Jo.ned by That of a Celestial Who Hanged Himselt. SAN RAFAEL, Cav, May 6.—There are few who will now doubt the truth of the stories publisned about the ghost which haunts the County Jail in the basement of Marin County’s Courthouse. Last night it made its appearance to a Chinaman named Wing Hi and almost scared the unfortunate fellow to death. When seen to-day he told the same story that has come from the lips of other unfortunates who have been confined in the haunted chamber. At various times i1t has been said that the ghost of a Chinaman had been seen by prisoners, and it was this apparition that made its presence known to poor Wing Hi during the small hours of this mornin A: the Sher fl's office it was learned that in one of the tanks in the cell where the Mongolian was confined a Chinaman had committed suicide. Like Argo, whose ghost also haunts the prison, the China- man committea an act of seif-destruction by making a noose of his long queue, placing it about his neck, attacning the other end to the opening in the top of the tank and lifting his feet from the ground, :‘I’n;- .:‘l:'m' himself to slowly strangl Kehoe, who saw the ghost of | run ovi month, also suid that a China- | this evening, man’s face made its appearance. Now comes Wing Hi, an ignorant Mongolian, arrested for being insane, and without be- ing able 1o learn of the ghost's visite through the newspapers, nor having any method of knowing which is the haun cell, tells the story as others have told it. He does not talk with any degree of intel- ligence, but he is able to tell of ths terror which the apparition caused, aud how he sed the night in fear and trembling Josk the awul specter should pounce upon him and do him injury. 8o who now will doubt but that ghosts walk the hard, cold floor in the haunted chamber of Marin County’s jail. seae i THRICE TRIED AT STOCKTON. Fersistent Effort to Convict Fred Witly ot Taking Money From a Drunken Man’s Pocket. STOCKTON, Car., May 6—The third trial of Fred Witty—one of the Witty family of Sonntag and Evans fame —for grand larceny, came up for hearing before Judge Jones to-day. The case has been bitterly fought and Attorney F. H. Gould hassucceeded in securing a jury disagree- ment three times. Witty was charged with having: robbed, 1n a Main-street saloon, a man with whom he hud been 1or several hours, and who had considerabls money on his person. Witty was caught with his hands in the man’s pockets, but bis defense was that his companion, while in a drunken con- dition, allowed his money to fall outof his pockets to the floor, and that he had merely gathered up the coins and was placing them back in his friend’s pocket. The trial has been watched with much interest, as both the prosecution and de- fendants have made a hard fight. Dis- trict Attorney Nutter made an able argu- ment to-day, butit is understood that the jury stood ten for acquittal. — FIGHT OVER TacOMA CHILDREN. Grand-Parents Fiercely Resist a Man- date of the Court. TACOMA, Wasu., May 6. — The three little Siegenthaler children, aged 2, 4 and 6 years, caused considerable trouble iast night. A year ago their father secured a divorce and the custody of the children, though they have been ever since with their grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs, An- thony Rinck, and their mother has sup- voried them. Yesterday Siegenthaler got a writ of habeas corpus and Deputy Sheriff Davis was sent after the children. The Rincks made so decided a remonstrance that he was obliged to qrit the house and obtain the assistance of Deputy Ross and Detec- tive Concannon. When the re-enforce- mentsarrived the battle began in earnest, The old grandfather and his infuriatea daughters threatened to shoot the officers down like dogs, They retaliated by hand- cuffing the family, and finally took the aged grandfatber to juil to cool off. This morning the children's mother pleaded wiih Judge Kean to allow her to keep them. She aileges that their father is a bartender and a drunkard, and that he has made her life miserable for years. To-morrow her attorney will make a formal request of the same kind, the court taking no action to-day. Last month the mother was married 1o a Mr. Dudley, a recent arrival from San Francisco, and has moved with bim to Seattie. She was much affected to-day at the thought of losing control of her children, e SONOMA’S WATER SUPPLY. Bpecial Election Called to Vote on the Question of Bonds. ONOMA, Cir, May 6.—Ata meeting of the City Trustees here last night a special election to vote on the auestion of bonds for the municipsl water works was called for June 14. The sum asked for is 2,600. For the past year the Board of ustees and tue principal business men of this place have been mdvocating an im- Lyruvm system of water works, the town eing without sufficient water for fre and domestic purposes. Several proposi- tions have been presented to the Trustees, the most favcrable one being by L L. Lewis of Sacramento, who bropose to bring water irom the mountains four miles west of town for a nominal sum, the city laying its own distributing sys tem. No action can be taken until after the election. et British Columbia Women Must Wait. VANCOUVER, B. C., May 6.—The British Columbia Legislature after a brief discussion and notwithstanding a peti- tion in its favor of 3000 women of the province, including many of the most in- fluential 'and public spirited ladies of the principal cities, rejected by a majority of thres 8 woman suffrage bill. The bill, however, received more support than any previous measure of its kind, and mem- bers of the Logislature say: *‘The women of the West will get their wish if they only wait another year.” e i Ty For Burglarizing Eweter Station. VISALIA, Car, May 6.—To-day Frank Harp was arrested at Exeter, eleven miles east of this city,on a charge of burglary at the Soutkern Pacific Railroad station on Tuesday night.

He dieda from his injuries late JOE MIDDLETON FOUND GUILTY Leader of Traver’s Band of Forty Thieves in the Toils. Played a Prominent Part in the Sontag and Evans Drama. Supplied the Outlaws With Food and Enabled Them to Elude Thelr Pursuers. FRESNO, Car., May 6. —Joe Middleton was found guilty by a jury in Judge Ris- ley’s court yesterday of the charge of robbery, which he committed in company with four others in holding up & number of Portuguese who were encamped one night near Wildflower, about two years ago. Sentence will be passed on Monday next at 10 o'clock. Joe Midaleton has a record which justly entitles him to wear the stripes for a num- ber of years. It is known that he helped | Grat Dalton, when that notorious outlaw escaped from the jail at Visalia a number | of years agoand was eluding the officers in the Sierras. Middlcton also played a prominent part in aiding Chris Evans and John Sontag, and afterwara Evans and Ed Morrell while they were fugitives in the mountains. It was he, principally, that kept the outlaws so thorouzhly in- formed as to the movements of the oflicers in pursuit. The connection of the man convicted | yesterday with the *famous band of forty thieves of Traver” isalso well known, and itis with members of this gang that he committed the robbery of which he was found guilty yesterday. Middleton was one of the leaders of this extensive gang of criminals, who were scattered over Tulare and Kings counties and the southern part of Fresno. For over two years they carried on their depre- dations of horse and cattlestealing and, in fact, all kinds of thieving. So thoroughly organized were they that, despite the most vigorous efforts of the officers, it was a loug time before the criminals conld be brought to justice. About a year ago, however, the authorities succeeded in | gaining sufficient evidence and began { making arrests. The leaders were all convicted and sent to prison for long terms, E. E. Jeffords, one of the more notorious, was sent up from this county. | When Grat Dalton escaped from jail he fled to the mountains and it is known that Middleton kept him supplied with food und information as to what the of- ficers were doing. He has always stoutly denied that he had any hand in the out- law’s break from jail. It seems that Mid- dieton finally played traitor to Dalton, | who picked up another desperate char- | acter in the mountains named Dean for a companion. Middleton disclosed their hiding-place to tne officers and this re- sulted 1n the capture of Dean, Dalton managing to escape. Middleton made his home with a woman known as Mag Rucker at her place in the foothills of Tulare County. Evans and Sontag, as well as Evans and Morrell, made this one of the places where they went to fill their haversacks and to learn the news of their pursuers. In all the outlaws had five such places. SLOCAN MINING DEAL. Group of Well-Paying Ciaims Bought by a London Syndicate for Half a | Million Dollars. SEATTLE, Wasui, May 6.—One of the largest sales ever made in the famed Slo- can district was consummated yesterday in this city when a London syndicate vurchased for §500,000 from A. E. Hum- phreys, J. D. Farrell and Captain M. D. Moore, all of Spokane, and W. C. Yakeys of Detroit, Mich., a group of mines com- posed of the Idaho, Alamo, Cumberland, Concentrator and Tramway, located in the immediate vicinity of Three Forks. The mines are mainly silver producers, and Mr. Humphreys stated this after- noon in confirming the report of the sale that the Alamo and Idaho alone had to date paid $225,000 individends. The other three mines are comparativaly undevel- oped, but what little work has been done is said to have revealed very satisfactory bodies of ore. The purchasers, it appears, have had ths mines bonded for several months, and it is reported that they have options on a number of other big properties in the Slocan. Mr. Humphreys stated that he had no knowledge as to the identity of the individual members of the purchasing syndicate, but that they seemed to have unlimited capit e LADIES VISIT TAMALPAIS. Membey | of the Woman's Congress Enjoy @ Day on the Mountain MILL VALLEY, CaL, May 6.—A large number of the ladies connected with the Woman’s Congress heid in San Francisco were the guests of Mrs. Loveil White to- day on the summit of Mount Tamalpais. The ladies left the Tity on the 9:45 A. M. train for Sausalito and Mill Valley, arriv- ing at the latter place about 10:45, where two trains were awaiting to convey them to the top of the mountain. The day was perfect, and the view was unobstructed for miles about. The grandeur of the scenery and the many sights of interest proved to be enter- taining to the ladivs, and one and ail voted the trip the pleasantest they had ever taken. A lunch was served at the botel on the mountain. Mrs. White enter- tained her guests in a charming manner. The North Pacific Coast road and the Tamalpais Scenic rood furnished the guests free transportation. e Mill Falley Club Lisbands. MILL VALLEY, CiL, May 6.—The Mitl Valley Country Club, at its annual meeting held last night at the office of Secretary Thomas Foitrell at this place, disbanded. They carried out the pro- gramme as stated exclusively in THE CALL last Wednesday and turned the funds of the organization, amounting to about $300, over to the Mill Valley Improvement Club to be used vy that organization for the benefit of the people of Mill Valley. The grounds at Millwood, for which the Tamaipais Land and Water Company granted a twenty vears’ lease, bave been the company. No effort will be made to revive the organization. —— Sausalito’s Sanitury Cha SAUSALITO, CAr, May 6.—The sani- tary condition of Sausalitois to be greatly improved.

A doctor will tell you that no one can live with a white liver. When the liver is at all disor- dered you are sure to have melan- choly fits and to wish to be alone. You will have all kinds of curi- ous fancfes and peculiar feelings. If the disorder is only a functional one the liver is easily restored to its normal condition. If the dis- order has its origin in the abuse or dissipation of the man it is not so easily controlled. Very few family doctors pay much atten- tion to nervous troubles. As a result the man who is so afflicted will get no comfort if he consults his family doctor. This being true, hundreds of men are com- pelled to try other cures. As a result the Hudvan remedy treat- ment has been tried by many thousands, and these thousands have been cured. Just 10,000 men say Hudyan cures. Do you believe them? You can see their statements in black and white. It is a fact. Hudyan cures fail ing manhood, nervous debility, neurasthenia and disorders of man called private. You should call on the Hudson doctors for information about the Hudyan remedy treatment or write for Circulars and Testimonials. HudsonMedical Institute Ellis, Stockton and Market Sts.
