Fitzgerald re- celved from Clerk James H. McKenney of the Supreme Court of the United States the remittiturs in the cases of Salter D. Worden, Benjamin L. Hill and Joseph J. Ebanks, yesterday, from Washington, D. C. The judgments of the Circuit and District courts were afiirmed. Nothing now can save thelr necks but thd act ot the Governor. In the cases of Ebanks and Hill Deputy Attorney-General Henry B. Carter, act- Ing under instructions from Attorney- General Fitzgerald, who handled the | to the highest court from the denial of a writ of habeas corpus, will appear in the United States Circuit and District courts this morning and move the machinery | of these tribunals to set the State Su- | perior Courts in motion by which two of the men will be brought before the | Judges of Alameda and San Diego coun- | ties and resentenced. In the case of | Worden this formality will not be neces- | sary, as in his case, the Governor hav- | Ing reprieved him until June next, he will | be permitted to live until that time. e | RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS. | Appoinitment to Fiil the Vacancy on | the Board Will Soon Be Announced by the Governor. | Governor Budd remarked yesterday that | | he would probably announce the appoint- | | ment of a Railroad Commissioner to fill | | the Stanton vacancy within the next ten | days. The papers and indorsements ac- | companying the various applications will be examined this week. The bundle of documents is quite formidable in size. | The safety of the Oakland water rate payers from a return to an old rate is not yet assured. To-night the Ordi- nance and Judiciary Committee met and carried the measure a step fur- ther. There are two ordinances now before the Council. One is the ordi- nance of last year, amended in two rticulars, which have been proved the company’s figures to provide a liberal income. The other is the one that Mr. Cuvellier said is “full of jokers,” and was kindly prepared for the Council by Mr. Watkinson of the Contra Costa Company.

Tts import is fairly represent- ed by the following paragraph: According to the representa. tives of the Contra Costa Water |'zee, had the Contra Cosia Water Company charged fuil nue would have been $176,000. That of the Oakland Water | Company would have been 8175,186. 'This would have been a total revenue of $351,- 6 per cent om the estimated cosi of the works, 84,243,577, in addition to allowing the company its operating exa penses. These being the cona- ditions under the present rates | of the 1897 ordinance we are of the opinion that these rates | should be maintained for the coming year beginming.July 1, 1898, and ending June 30, 1899, The report also recommends that as Superintendent McClymonds says there rate of 1 cent a month per child be made. This report is signed by Messrs. Cu- vellier, Rowe and Upton. A minority report was submitted by Messrs. Hen- nebery and Earl Both ordinances were read and it decided to rec- | ommend the ordinance of 1897 to the | Counecil with the increase of the hy- drant rate from $1 75 to $2, and to allow a little more from the public schools, amounting to about §1000 per year. Girard gave notice that he might wish to offer some amendments to the Council when it met to-morrow night to take final action on the rate ordi- nance. It now looks as though President Pringle might have the deciding vote between the two ordinances. There are eleven votes in the Council. Messrs. Rowe, Upton, Cuvellier, Girard and Brosnahan are said to be a unit for the ordinance of last year as amended and recommended by the committee. Messrs. Hennebery and Earl have re- the water companies, and Messrs. Fi- bush and Watkinson have not declared TheModemn STOVE POLISH. ADVERTISEMENTS. o e A A A A A A A A A ( Producesa JET BLACK enamel gloss.

They are two people the color of choco- late, and they do a variety turn in the theaters from New York to San Fran- cisco. In rough songs and dances, in bucking and winging, the Jacksons are hard to beat. Mrs. Jackson is pretty in a dark and effective way, and Jackson occasionally feels a pang of jealousy shoot athwart his manly frame. He has felt this pang often since beinginthecity, for beauty is appreciated here, and just a single pang too many took him into the Police Court yesterday. It seems that the Jacksons had been in- vited to a high-toned function and had accepted. There Mrs. Jackson was the belle of the ball, or rout, or whatever it W and Jackson got tired. He made her go home, and on the way there was an interchan of remarks. The Jack- sons are living at 303 Jessle street, a thoroughfare devo to the ways of peace. .

Thomas Hill, the Artist, Will Protest to Senators Against the In- fringement. Tt has come to the knowledgeof Thomas Hill, who painted the “Last Spike” pic- ture, that F. Costaggini’'s design for a cartoon of the new historic freize of the national Capitol bears a striking similar- ity to the origiral Hill painting. The time 1s identical; the grouping is only slightly changed; the prominent figures of Mr. Hill's pictures are represented in the cartoon. One can see at a glance that the original picture or a photographic copy thereof was used by the Italian artist at ‘Washington. Thomas Mill, who is now at the Palace Hotel, ng just returned from Oregon, was advised some time ago of the in- fringement, but was not able to get a | copy of the cartoon until he saw it re- | produced in the Oakland Enquirer of January 29 last. The “Last Spike” painting is the prop- erty of Mr. Hill. It cost him many years | of work and many thousands of dollars. A true history of all the trials, troubles and vicissitudes of the artist in group- ing the chief characters, in painting out some who had lost favor at railroad nead- | quarters and painting in others who had | gained recognition in that quarter, would make a pathetic chapter in the annals of California. The artist was never paid for his work. He never received a dollar | of all the money derived from the sale, on the railway lines, of photographic copies of the painting. He is now too much broken in health to make the jour- ney to Washington to protect his rights in _that quarter. The facts in the case of infringement have been submitted to the Bohemian Club, of which institution the artist is a life member. United States Senators Ste- phen M. White and George C. Perkins, who are also members of the club, will be asked to protect the artist from the proposed infringement. The original ainting is now in the museum of Golden Gate Park, and will probably remain there until the artist makes a final disposition of the work. \ i ‘ | | AT A ST Robbed of Her Diamonds.

Return of the Rothschild Party From a Long Cruise in the Galapagos Islands. At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon the schooner Lila and Mattle tied up to the Mail dock after an eight months’ crulse | among the Galapagos Islands, almost directly under the equator. Last June the vessel was chartered from Kittredge & Co. by the Frank | Blake-Webster Company of Boston, acting for Baron Rothschild of Lon- lecting expedition to the almost un- known islands in search of new species of bird and reptilian life, and especially after giant tortoises, or galapagos, from which the group of islands is named. These tortoises are very rare and almost extinet, and as Baron Rothschild is an enthusiastic scientist and is engaged in writing a book on cheloneons he was desirous of securing such specimens as would be of assist- ance to him in his work. C. M. Harris was in charge of the expedition, and with him as assistants were G. B. Hull, F. B. Droune and R. H. Beck, all specialists in various nat- ural history circles. The schooner was commanded by Captain Linbridge, with | Otto Lempke as mate, and a crew of a steward and two men. Provisions were | taken for a fifteen months’ cruise, and all preparations were made for a thor- ough investigation and exploration of the islands. roots, on which the tortoises are fed. A large quantity of the roots was brought on the schooner, and the tor- toises arrived in fairly good condition considering the change of climate from under the equator to the present cold weather of California. entire lot which was captured, died on the way, and it is expected that nearly all of them will reach London in good condition. The bird skins and iguana skins were carefully prepared and boxed and the eggs were put in chemi- cal preparations in order to preserve them. Mr. Harris will remain in San Fran- cisco for about a week before he leaves for his home. 2 —_————— AUSTIN GUILTY OF MURDER. Jury Sends Him to Prison for Life for the Killing of James Fannon. ‘Willlam T. Austin will spend the re- mainder of his days in prison for the mur- der of James Fannon. Such was the verdlet of the jury that has been lis- tening to evidence against the accused for several days, and the only circum- stance that saved him from the gallows was that he was intoxicated when he plunged a knife again and again into the body of his victim. The crime for which Ausin will be deprived of his liberty for the rest of his life occurred in a saloon at Kearny and Jackson streets. Austin had been drinking and was very quar- relsome. He entered the saloon and im- medjately started a row with Fannon and a friend, who were drinking at the bar. Blows were exchanged and finally Austin drew a knife and slashed right and left. When the police arrived ¥an- non was on the floor in a dying condi- tion, his blood flowing from a number of wounds. His friend had been severely cut, but he recovered. Austin was ar- rested and placed on trial for the crime. Yesterday afternoon the case was sub- mitted to the jury, and after two hours’ deliberation it found the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree and placed the penalty at imprisonment for life. ‘When the verdict was read not a muscle of Austin’s hardened visage changed or manifested the least sign of emotion. He will be sentenced by Judge Wallace a week from Friday. —_——————— Miss Ray Frank Lectures.

TICKET OFFICE—Palace Hotel, 4 New Montgomery st. PERKINS & CO.. Gen. Agts., How well the expedition succeeded can best be told by giving the results as they were seen terday when the schooner docked. nine immense tortoises, all alive, were taken from the hold and placed in the warehouse. These tortoises are of seven distinct varieties, some of them being entirely different from any found elsewhere in the world. One species is very strange, with upturned and convoluted shell. This was found in the bottom of an ex- tinct crater on Duncan Island, and it is believed by Mr. Harris that he has taken every one from the island, leav- ing none for future explorers. The discovery was accidental. The ex- plorer ascending to the top of the old crater was surprised to see that the bottom was covered with a heavy growth of grass standing almost as high as a man’s head. The sides were so steep that it was very difficult to get to the bottom, but the descent was fin- ally made and then it was found that an entirely new species of tortoise in- habited the place. Twenty-seven of the animals were captured, and it took an entire week to get them out and to the water’'s edge, so that they could be loaded on the schooner. In addition to the tortoises many large sea turtles were found and many new species of iguanas and snakes. Several bottles of iguana eggs, each egg as large as a gull’s egg, attest the gize of the reptiles, some of which were five feet long. A great number of new birds were discovered. Five distinct species were taken that were entirely new to science. There was found a number of mocking birds, the descend- ants of those left by Darwin in 1848. A great number of albatross were taken, some of them measuring nine feet from tip to tip of wing. A large number of albatross eggs were also secured. The sea shells of the islands were disappointing, but several new varie- ties of sea urchin were found, and a few varle(?&s of different shell fish that are new. ‘aptain Linbridge brought back with him a long vine with [large pods containing a peculiar bean ‘which grows in profusion along the shgres of the islands. These vines are of such nature that they prevent the shifting of the sands and protect the beach. It is the Captain’s idea that if they will grow here they will be of incalculable benefit to California coasts. =~ He will give some of the beans to parties de- sirous of making the experimsnt. day as being more than pleased with the result of the expedition. He had secured much more than he expected, and felt that the results would be of great benefit to natural science. He estimated that his cargo of specimens was worth fully $50,000, each of the tor- toises. being worth $300 on account of their rarity. The specimens will be shipped by rail directly to Boston, and thence transshiped to London. En route East the party will make a short diamonds. time. She was intoxicated at the l stop in Arizona, and while there they Mr. Harris expressed himself yester- by close attention and frequent applause.

TRIED T0 DROWN HIS ADVERSARY Charles McCarthy a Hostler, Is Thrown Into a Water Trough. Dragged Out by a Citizen as He Was Fast Losing Conscious- ness. During a heated dispute with a stranger at Geary and Larkin streets last evening Charles McCarthy, an aged hostler, was thrown into a water trough and nearly lost his life. Mec- Carthy was under the influence of liquor and as he walked along Geary street he met the man who attempted to murder him. After having several drinks the stranger took umbrage at some remark made by McCarthy and threatened to “break his jaw,” as he expressed it. MecCarthy at once di- vested himself of his coat and attacked his adversary. The latter quickly geized his helpless victim and threw him into the water trough. Owing to his intoxicated condition MecCarthy was unable to crawl out of the trough and was in imminent danger of being drowned, when a citizen who dis- covered his predicament went to his assistance. After considerable trouble he man- aged to pull the half-drowned man out of the water. Just then Policeman Barry appeared on the scene, and as the unfortunate hostler was unable to take care of himself he arrested him on a charge of being drunk. At the City Prison McCarthy was in- terviewed by two of Chief Lees' men, who were detailed on the case. To them McCarthy described his murder- ous assailant as being about 40 years of age with a reddish mustache. He wore a dark suit of clothes and a slouch hat. McCarthy is positive he can identify him in case he is arrested. ance the principal, Miss Murphy. The teacher, so the parents say, then held the child’s hand firmly with his fingers resting on the desk, while- Miss Mur- phy administered several blows; then they changed about, Miss Murphy holding the boy while Miss Wolfe plied the double strap. A few days later the boy's hand swelled so badly that he could not let it hang by his side, and the mother, thinking he was afflicted with inflam- matory rheumatism, applied some sim- ple home remedies and did the injured member up in a sling. Instead of get- ting better, however, the boy’s hand grew rapidly worse, and when the ocu- list who is treating him for his eyes finally made an investigation he found a number of ulcers had. broken out over the fingers, and advised that the boy be placed in the care of a surgeon at once or he would probably lose one of his fingers. This alarmed the parents and Dr. Osborne was called in. He at once pronounced the case as blocd poison- ing, resulting apparently from extreme irritation. The boy was then ques- tioned as to what had happened to his hand, and told of the beating re- ceived from his teachers. A few days ago Mrs. Carter took the boy down to the scheol and asked the teacher why he had been so unmerci- fully punished, and requested that some assistance be given toward pay- ing the doctor’s bill, as the famlly s very poor. Miss Wolfe denied all knowledge of the affair, and the pupils when questioned were afraid to answer, until one little girl spoke up and told the stery substan- tially the same as was related by little ‘Willie and his younger brother Her- bert. As Mrs. Carter could not get any satisfaction from the teacher, she pre- ferred charges against both Miss ‘Wolfe and Miss Murphy yesterday be- fore the Board of Education, and was fully investigated. The younger boy, Herbert, was in- definitely suspended yesterday because his mother had used “insulting lan- guage to one of the teachers in presence of her class.” Mrs. Carter claims that her language was any- thing but insulting, and attributes the suspension of the boy to spite work. ——— A Suspicious Fire.
