The court instructed the election supervi- Wood County to canvass the re- s from the disputed precinet, which gives the election to Captain O. P. Norris, the Republican candidate for representa- tive, by thirtg-one-plurality. This news was received by Chairman Nash of the Republican State Committee with evident satisfaction, though it was not different from what he had expected. The decision +, inasmuch as it out talk of other contests ontne Chairman Nash does not elieve the case will be appealed by the mocrats, since the law is plain. There e talk of an injunction against ipervisors, but it was not- confirmed. further changes be made the Kepublicans wiil have five majority on joint ballot, asclaimed Chairman Nash. The headquariers of the Democratic State Committee, at the Great Soathern, was being dismantled to-day, 10om being retained for the use of Secre- tary Karb and Allen O. Myers. In an interview to-day Mr. Myers said: he situation is the same now as it was Wednesday morning. The Democrats have the Senate by a majority of two. Tae House stands 58 Republicans to 51 Demo- cra's. McConnville will go on claiming until he goes back to Washington, but it won’t do any good. We are beaten and I knew it Wednesday morning.” Mr. Myers was very bitter in his denun- ciation of Chairman McConnville and blamed him for the defeat of the Demo- crats on the Governorship and State tick- ets. Mr. Myers charged that Mr. McConn- ville tried to defeat Chapman because Chapman would not pleage himself to cer- tain appointments and that he did not work for the success of the legislative ticket. 6.—The only im- gt STRUGGLE IN MARYLAND The Democrats Do Not L'ke to G.ve Up the Spolils of War.

NEW YORK Nov. 6.—A special to the Herald fr m Buenos Ayres says: I am a correspondent in Rio Ja- ro, Braz !, that there is a general be- ief there that the attempt to kill Presi- dent Moraes yesterday was the result of a conspiracy headed by monarchical plot- Whether the conspirators planned the death of General Betencourt, Minister of ‘War, who was shot and kilied as he stood beside the President, remains to be seen, but there are reasons to believe that they did. The monarchical sympathizers, par- ticularly that portion which was inclined to sympathize with Antonio Conselheiro, leader of the fanatics, who was recently killed, were very bitter against tne Minis- ter of War because of-his aggressivness to- ward the fanatics, hence the plot to kill General Betencourt and the President to- gether was no: impossible. Several persons have been arrested in connection with the crime. The soldier who tried to kill the President, however, still declines to rive any reason for his crime. All efforts to make him talk bave rroved fruitiess. There was a Cabinet meeting to-day, President Moraes presid- 1z, and the question of continuing the vractical maruial iaw which is now in force was discussed. All troops in the city are still under arms, but the striet ordpr first 1ssued has been moditied con- siderably, and citizens are at liberty to come and go as they choose. el SAW A SLEEPY SEA" SERPENT.

There Will Have to Be Greater Economy in° Making Transfers. Soldiers and Sallors Cannot Travel So Much Without Caus'ng a Heavy Deficlency. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL. Cavy Orrice, Rrecs Housg, 1 Wasnizeron, D, C., Nov. 6.{ The effect of tue sale of the Union Pacific upon the army and navy will be immediate and far reaching. The appropriation for the transportation of troops and stores for the army aggregates in 10ound numbers about $2,500,000 an- nually. There has accrued a saving to this fand up to the present time of about $250,000 for the transportation of Govern- ment freight and troops over the Union Pacific railroad between Omaha and Ogden. All the earnings of this road on this account heretofore have been credited on books of the Treasury Department as an offset to the bondei indebiedness of the company to the United States. The exisiing laws and decisions of the accounting officers of the treasury have until now forbidden the payment of any transportation funds of the army to the Union Pacific From November until July next the approvriations already made by Congress must be used to pay for a service agere- gating $25,000 per montk, which was prac- tically ee 1o the army and navy when the appropristions were made. Whether | this will cause a deficit in the transporta- tion funds will depeznd entirely upon the | amount of economy which may be exer- cised by the army and navy officials who are charged with the expenditure of money. The report of the Government directors of the Union Pacific Railroad Company for the tiscal year just ended has been sub- roitted to Secretary Bliss. A summary follows: The physical condition of the road continues to show marked improve- | ment, both in the character of the road- beds and in the condition of the equip- ments. During the year 1896 7500 tous of new steel rails were adued to the track, and during the current year 17,000 addi- tional tons have been purchasea and are now being piaced upon the roadbed. The eastern portion of the Union divis- ion 18 being throroughly ballasted and the property from Omaha to the neighbor- hood of Grand Island, 174 miles, will com- pare favorably with many of the first-class Eastern railroads. The earnings and ex- penses for the Union Pacific railway | proper (1,822.29 mile:) for the twelve months ended June 30, 1897 and 1896, re- spectively, foilow: Gross earnings, $14,944,477 for 1895, in- | crease, $861,129; opersuing _expenses, | $9,443.155 for 1897; increase, $667,213; sur- plus, $5,501,3 \r 1897; increuse, $183- 1915; axes, $573.640 for 1897; decrease, | §8089; surplus carnings, $4,927.681 for 1897; $4,735,657 for 1896: increase, $192,005. Tue report goes into detail s 10 pro- | ceedings that led up to the recent sale un- der foreclosure, and under date of Sep- tember 4 says from the then expected realization from the foreclosure saie of the railroad property and sinking fund of $ 54,059, it will follow that tne loss of United Siates wil! be about $25 000,000, ¥ | the PLEASED W.TH THE COMMEANT. But Fitzgerald Will Aot Say That He Would Accept the Guber- natorial Nomination. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 — Tue CaLp correspondent m t Attorney-General Fulz- gerald at the Shoreham tc-night. He said thera was nothing new in the Durrant case or the other California muc- aer cases. He expects a decision in the Dn rant case on Monday, but is not sure it will be handed down thea. “If not,’”” said he, “it will certainly be | delivered on the Munday following."” He was questioned concerning the favor- able comments made in the California papsrs with regard to his candidacy for {he nomination for Governor. He replied, good-hamored “Of course it is gratify- ing 1o me to have my fiiends of the Cali- fornia press compliment me, although I have never «aid to _any one that I was a candidate for the office.’’ “Would you accept it the pomination was tendered you on a silver or goid piaiter?” ““Well,” said he, I will consider that when the platter reacnes me.”’ “*What is Colonel George her:?” “Idon’t know,'” said the Judge, *'but I gues< he accompanied about $4,000,000 in bonds of the Fair estate, to avoid the pay- ment of the charges of Wells, Fargo & Co.” SR SEALING TREATY SIGNED. And Now It Femains for Great Brit- ain to Join in Frotecting the Herd. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—A convention between the United States, Russia and Japan, looking to the joint protection of the :teals was signed at the State Depart- ment to-day at 12:15 ». a. It will reguire the ratification of the Senate to become effective. The text of the treaty will not be given out by the Siate Department unitil final ratifications are exchunged. As the docu- ment must go to the Senate for itsap- proval, custom requires that it be with- beld trom publication in this manner. It 1s said, however, by those concerned, that the general purposes of the treaty have been alreadv outlined in the pres: and it is likely that the only further in- tereat is as to the exact natnre of the ad- ditional restrictions to be imposed upon pelagic sealing. Ic is expected that the meeting of British and American experts will take place next week, according to the original pregramme, unless there should be inter- ven.on from the Britisn Foreign Office, which i8 not anticipated. Meanwhile the British exvert, Professor Thompsn, who is now in Washington, will be acquainted with what has already been accomplished by the Governments of the United States, Russia and Japan and with the terms of the treaty. night doing I San Quentin’s Warden I, BAN QUENTIN, Nov. 6.—Acting War- den J.

Buildings Razed, Bridges De- molished and Trees Uprooted. Several Narrow Escapss From Death In the Path of the Hurricane. Spectal Dispateh to THE CALL PLACERVILLE, Nov. 6.—A cyclone of the same ample proportions as those they breed in Kansas, cut a half-mile swath through this section to-day, and left Placerville’s streets and house-tops strewn with badly broken barn-tops, mili build- ings and almost everything else that could be picked up around a mine or a barn- yard. The damage hasevi ently been con- siderable, though accurate reports are im- possible, becanse of the consequent cut- ting off of communication by wire with the stricken districts. The twister, when it reached Placerville in its northeasterly course, was too high to be dangerous, thouzh numerous sky- lights and windows were crushed in by falling debris and the enormous hailstones that accompanied the hurricane. A mile from town on the Folsom and Sacramento road, and from there as far on as reports have come from, evidences of the terrific force of the wind are everywhere. The road is made practically impassable by uprooted trees anl broken telephone- poles. Two miles from here a high bridge over Weber Creek was blown to pieces. Sheriff George Hilbert, who was driving over the bridge when the storm struck it, would probably have gone down with the struc- ture into the canyon below had his horses not run a¥ay with him at the first crack of the timbers. The animals pulled him out of the yath of the winds before any harm was done. At Diamond Springs, thres miles from here, the damage was heavy. Whole buildings weré moved from their founda- tions, and others were unroofed. Window- panes were broken, and numerous mine buiidings wrecked. The lumber in the Dismond Lumber-yard was scattered over near-by hilisides. At the Griffith Consolidated mine the boarding-house, a heuvy structure, 30x40feet in dinensions, was moved adisiance cf ten feet, finding lodgment aguinst a hillside. A couple of the men were in the building at the time, but escaped injury. Uprooted trees are scattered helter- skelterall over the country. A fruit tree found its way 10 Main street, in this city, and is on_exuibition in an uptown store. At the Ohio House bar they have ten square feet of the roof of somebody’s fruit-dryer, the ownership of which has not been aetermined. The course of the hlow was from south- west to northeast. It was ev.dently of long duration, as for an kour broken pranches, shakes, timber and all manner of things, from chimney-bricks to door- sills, were falling not gently on Placer- ville. Thus farno reports of injuries or fatalities have come in, though there were many who had stories to tell of hard buf- fetings and narrow escapes. BRISK BIDDING FOR MERCED COUNTY SO, Portion of the J. W. Mitchell Estate Sold Under the Hammer. Special Traln Carrles Prospective Purchasers From San Francisco to Atwater. Special Dispatch to THE CALL ATWATER, CaL, Nov. 6.—The old tower which rears 1its eaves almost a hundrea feet from the warehouee west of the depot in this little city, and from which J. W, Mitchell, when age had ren- dered him almost helpless, was wont to watch his plowmen toil, stood like a sen- try at guard to-day over a large crowd of city and country folk gathered to bid against one another for the lands he left when death claimed him. Mitcnell bas long been in his grave. Wien he died his estate, which consistea of over 112,000 acres of choice land in Merced County, which isin the very heart cf Cahfornia, went to his heirs, H. F. Geer, G. 8. Bloss and Mrs. BaN. Crane, all of this State. They were averse to mak- ing an attempt to hanale such a vast tract | #nd applied to the court for permission to sell a portion. This permission was granted, and yesterday a small fraction of the lana was disposed of under the ham- mer, When it was decided to sell a portion of the. lands t e matter was placed in the hands of McAfee Broe., real estate agents of 8an Francisco. To-day a spectal train was run from San Francisco by McAfee Brothers, bringing to Atwater a number of business men who were desirous of purchasing. Owing to an accident the train did not reach here as cariy as was expected, and in consequence th sale had tu be consummated more rapidly than had been intended. Notwithstanding the deiay of the train, however, the bidding w: quite brisk. Over 3000 acres were di posed of at prices ranging irom $57 50 to $10 an acre. Forty odd thousand dollars was reaiized from the sale. Itis the intention of the heirs to dispose of about half of the property, which is valued at considerabiy over $500,- The auction of the lanas was taken ad- vantage of by the pecple of this town, and they made a holiday of the occasion. Tables were spread near the town hall in which the auction took place, and all who came, wheiher to purchase or not, en- joyed a barbecue. It is probable that Mc- Afee Bros. will nold another auction sale of the lands here in the near futnre, and some brisk bidding for the possession of the lands is looked for. e e S Return of the Cutter Bear. SEATTLE, Nov. 6.—The United States revenue cutler Bear arrived here to-night from & six months’ cruiss in Alaskan waters. 8he had on board W. A. Kjel- mann, superintendent of the Teller rein- deer station, the United States coast and geodetic survey party headed by W. W. Duffield and several Laplanders on their way to Norway.

If Undertaken It Must Not Smirch Some and Shield Others. Intends to Learn at Whoss Instiga- tlon Certaln Appoin‘mants Were Made. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. NEVADA CITY, Nov. 6.—Ex-Senator E. M. Preston, one of the trustees of the Preston School of Industry at Ione, re- ceived from Trustee Tyrreil of Sacramento last night a letter in which the writersays: In view of the seandalous and specific charges appearing in the daily newspapers of this city and elsewhere relative to the man- agement of the Preston school of Industry, and of the fact that I am being subjected 1o the harshest criiicisms at the handsof my frienas and others, I feel 1t obligatory upo: me, in justic: to the school as well as to my- sei, to demand, in my official capacity as trustec, a complete and immediate :nvestiga- tion into the truth or falsity of said charges. Trustee Preston has answered as fol- lows: NEVADA CITY, Nov. 5, 1897. _Dr. F. D. Tyrrell, Trustee, Sacrameni;—DEAR SIk: Your esteemed favor of the 4in inst. is st hand; reasons for request noted. In reply, permit me 1o assure you that while I realize ihat there hes been and is just cause for some of the public criticisms of the present disci- piine and methods of conducting the school, yet ou the other hand, I firmly believe that a public investigation at the preseut time would be ill-advised and 1nexpedient, {or the follow- ing reasons: First—The board of trustees, 1n its official capacity, has full authority and ability to cor- rect and remedy any and all abuses of disci- pline and management which prevail at the school. Second—A united effort on the partof the trustees to correct any and all causes of mis- management will be, or can be made to be, effectual, and will be more conducive to good government than a public investigation, with its necessary demoralization of all depari- ments of the institution. Third—The expense of conducting a thor- ough and honest investigation will seriously impair the funds appropristed for main- tenance; and 5 Fourth—The rancor engendered by a public investigation may so demoralize the inmates that a 1ine of sentinels will be required to pre- veat a general stampede {rom the premises. For tie foregoing reasons I am radically op- posea to such an luvestigalion as is proposed by yourself; but at the same time, it a ma- jority of the members of the board, in_their wisdom, decide that an investigation is the only rational way to ward off further eriti- clsm, 1 will consent to partioipate in the pro- ceedings only on the express understanding and assurance that the proceedings shall be absolutelv impartial, thorough and search- ing. We must be permitted to take testimony from the State officers, ench of the trustees, the expert accountant, the officers and em: ployes of tne school and suchi other reputable cilizens as can give any reliable information as to the causes which have culminated in the alleged mismanagement of the affeirs of the school. There must be no besmirching of some and shielding of others. We must know at whose instigation changes and appointments were made, aud why they were made. We must investigate the records of all the officers and of each department, that we may know who has been abusive of authority, delinquent in duty or otherwise unfitted for the positions occupird. We must \begin at the beginning of the difficulties—the date of the reorganization of the board in May last—snd foliow the course of events down to the present time. It such an investigation is ordered and con- ducted in accordance with the foregolng con- ditions I assure you oi 1y cordial support and p cdg‘ to the utmost of mv ability, 10 meke our Andings thorough and finai. Very respectfully yours, E. M. PRESTON. FRUIT-GRuWERS’ CONVENTION. Large Numbers of Horticulturists Will Attend the Sacramento Gathering. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 6—The State Fruit-Growers’ Convention, which will meet in this city on November 16, prom- ises to be one of the larzest gatherings of horti~ulturists ever held in California. The convention, which will be held under the auspices of the State Board of Horii- cuiture, in the Senate chamber of tne Capitol, will be open to all who are in- terested in fruit culture and kindred pur- suits. There is no formal membership. The question of fruit marketing and transportation will occupy part of the time of the convention, which will be in session for four days. The first bnsiness to be consiaered will be the report of a committes appoinied some time ago, at the intance of several fruit-shippers, to collect data upon the subj ct. The op- pos:tion, composed of Eas.ern and Cali- fornia agents, will slso be represented, and a lively discussion is anticipated, as the growers expect to take the bnsiness into their own hands by organizing into one effective body, which will not be | dominated by the fruit acents. A large delegation is expected from the sonthern part of the State, and it will present for the consideration of the conveniion a plan which was recently adopted in Los Angeles. On the opening day, November 16, the delegates will probably be welcomed by Governor Budd on behalf of the State, and by Mayor Hubbard on b2balf of the city. Hon. Elwood Cooper, the *“Olive King” of Eanta Barbara, will respond, and other speakers will follow. In the afternoon R. D. Stephens will present the report of the commirtee already referred to, and Secretary Filcher of the State upon “Foreign Markets.”” A number of | other vaiuable and interesting papers and addresses have been prepared by repre- sentatives of the various sections of th- State, and every branch of the industries represented will be thoroughly di:scussed. A ASPHYX/ATED IN A TUNNEL, Gas Overcomes Two Laborers on the Barker Water System, Near Santa Barbara. SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 6 — Two men employed in what is known as the Barker water tunnel, three miles from Santa Barbara, were asphyxiated yester- day. Tom Curry and Fred Ware went to work on their shift at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At 6o'clock they did not return to be relieved, 50 an investigation was insti- tuted. It resulted in the finding of the dead body of Curry about 800 feet from che mouth of th+ tunnel, and tbat of Ware about 200 feet further in. As the men were found with their faces to the mouth of the tunnel, it is bslieved that they were making their way out when overcome by gas. Ware was still alive, and for four hours every effort was made to save him, bui without avail. This tuanel extends about 1100 feet into the mountain and there has been trouble from gas for some time. Because of thisy Barker last Wednesday wanted 1o dis- continue work, but Ware persuaded bim not to do so. Ware was 37 years old, a native of Fne- dand and leaves a widow and family. Curry was anative of Ireiand, 60 years of age »nd unmarried. Board of Trade will deliver an address | FROST BORIED ALL AI§ GOLD Large Sums Dug Up on the Late Capitalist’s Estate. Executrices Testify That They Have Taken $6000 From the Ground. i Proof That the Dead Man’s Son Was R ght tn His Claims Made Two Years Ag>. Special Dispatch to THE CALL SAN JOSE, Nov. 6 —Some sentational features were brought out yesterday after- noon at the hearing of the objections to the final account of Mre. Dora Frost-Vin- ter and Mrs. Sarah Wissman, executrices of the estate of Klezer Frost, deceased. At the time of Elezer Frost's death, two vears ago, Detective Erwin Frost claimed that his father had large sums of money buried, and the te:timony of the execu- trices on the stand yesterday proved the:e claims to be true. Frost left an estate valued at $100,000. He had been married three times, and there was much contention and quibbling among the three sets of children. Mrs. Dora Frost-Vinter, the widow, and Mrs. Sarah Wis man, a daughter, were the only ones present at the old- mau’s death. Er- win Frost, a son, at that time claimed his father had about $40,000 buried about the premises and wanted 10 search for the money, but was refused admission to the house. For several days after Frost's death Erwin Frost maintained a watch nigat and day about the home on North River street. William Vinter, who a few months afterward married the widow, kept a similar vigil with a shotgun inside the premises for the widow. There was great excitement, and for a time it ap- peared that the opposing forces would clash. 4 Erwin Frost also charged that his father had been poisoned, and the body was ex- humea. Signu traces of poisoning were found, and Dr. Case and the widow were accused of complicity in the alieged erime. An examination resulted in the dismissal of the charge. During the examination of Mrs Dora Frost-Vinter and Mre. Wissman they al- mitied they had dug up $6000 in gold buried about the yard. Thev found the money under the tankhouse, the bath tub, the barn floor and other places. The money was all in $20 gold pieces, which were 1n pieces of lead pipe. The witnesses explained that just be- fore the death of Frost he had given them envelopes with little slips of paper in them directed to Mrs, Wissman, Mrs. Frost and Jane Duvis, another daughter. Upon the slips were written the requests | that the hidden treasure should be ziven to them. Tiey said that they dug up the coin and appropriated it as directed. not includiag it in their inveniory of | the property of the esta'e, because they had been acvised by their lawyers not to do so. Mrs. Frost-Vinter had also taken $300 from the person of the deceasea after nis death. The old shirt that contained it was thrown away, and if_there were any further directions as to hidden money she did no’ see then, Mr. Vinter was called to the stand to tes- tify as to the money deposited in bank. He did not_bave the Frost bank books with him. His excuse was that he Lad been unable to see the proper bank offi- cials. The contesting beirs are Erwin and Minor Frost, Mrs.. Mav Taylor and Mrs, | N. Laederich, ali children of the deceased. FAILED T0 PAY ALIMONY. Fresno Citizen Ordered to Jail by Judge Webb for Contempt of Court. FRESNO, Nov. 6.—G. A. Baron, a well- known citizen of Fresno, was sent to jail for contempt of court by Judge Webb to-day.
