Before KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED Rough Experience Thomas J. McCormick of Sacramento. of Assaulted in the Bar of the What Cheer House on Sacramento Street. Warrants Sworn Out for the Arrest of the Night Bartender and Another Man. Thomas J. McCormick, a visitor from Sacramento who is stopping at the ‘What-Cheer House on street, swore to a complaint in Judge Low’s court yesterday for the arrest of John Doe Harris and Richard Roe on the charge of robbery. Sacramento | HANDICAPPED IN THE MORNING OF LIFE McCormick’s fect that Wednesday night he went into the Avalon Saloon o¢n the Clay and Kearny streets and had two glasses of claret. some silver, which he had in his pocket. There were some men standing at the bar at the time. When he got to the What-Cheer House a few minutes later and went to the office for the key of his rcom, Harris, the night bartender, came up to him and asked him to come into the bar and have a drink with him. He did not want to g0, as he says he is not a drinking man, but Harris pre- vailed upon him to go into the bar. Several men were there, and he thought he noticed among them one or two wha had been in the Avalon. He had no sooner entered the barroom than Harris grabbed him round the neck and two others held his hands behind his back. He strugg to get free, but was knocked down by a viclent blow on the head, which rendered him senseless for a few minutes. When he recovered his senses he found that he had been robbed of the $20 gold piece and a dollar in silver. He demanded his money back, but was told to get out, and fearing that he might be roughly dealt with he thought it better to leave and go to bed. Yes- terday morning he complained to the proprietor of the hotel about being robbed, but as he could not get any satisfaction from him he went to the California-street Police Station and made a complaint there. He was told to go tc one of the police courts and swear out warrants for the arrest of the men who robbed him, and he ac- cordingly did so. McCormick showed a big lump on his head as evidence of the fact that he had been knocked down. He declared that he was perfectly sober at the time of the robbery, and believes that the men whe robbed him thought that he had more money in his pocket-book than the $21 NEW OPIUM FRAUDS BREWING. | A. W. McPherson Is Said to Be Under Federal Surveillance on Account of His Projects. Those familiar with inside doings ederal circles say that there is likely to be a sensatfon soon which will equal the stories of old opium swindles. A. W. McPherson, who cused of swindling the Fink Butter Com- | pany and others out of large sums of money, is said to be king of a new opium ring which is operating on a scale that runs to high figures. A strange part of the story is a rumor that some well known lawyers and officials are involved in the frauds, and that the plans of the founders of the new ring are cunning and far-reachin Seen relative to the matter by a Call reporter ¢ McPherson said: “I ¥_opium since the Point of 1570, and all these As to my com- itions on behalf v that American citizen and I ha I am an right to do as I please in such affairs.” Some sensational developments in_the McPherson opium ring are promised at an early date, as all the Federal officials are said to be on the alert. A WILD ANIMAL? Judge Campbell Will Have to Decide the Important Question. in the Case of C. | It Has Been Raised Bone, Accused of Poisoning a Cat. The question as to whether a cat is | a domestic animal or a wild animal will | have to be decided by Judge Campbell, who listened to an able argument on the ubject yesterday afternoon by Attorney Nouges and Prosecuting Attorney Spin- etti A jury had been summoned to try the c: of Charles Bone, of 1610 Steiner street, charged by his neighbor, J. C. Fredericks, with administering polson to the jury was impaneled Attorney Nouges, alyzed the fish and had found large quan- titles of strychnine i it. Dr. Creely was not called, the defense agreeing to admit that he made the analysis and found strychnine. Bone did not deny using the strychnine, as he sald that Fredericks' cats were a nuisance as they destroyed the bushes in his garden and annoyed the neighbor- hood with their howlings. Then came the argument as to whether a cat is a domestic animal or not. At- torney Nouges argued that a cat was a | fells natura, or, in other words, a wild animal, and could not be claimed as the property of any one. He quoted num- erous authoritiés in support of his con- tention. The Judge, after listening to the arguments, allowed the attorneys five days to file briefs and then he would render his decision. Bone is not out of the woods vet, as Officer Hooper of the Society for the Pre- | vention of Cruelty to Animals, who was | present in court, said he would swear out a warrant for his arrest to-day on the felony charge of distributing poison. —_——e— Exonerated From Blame.

He was handi- capped in the very morning of life when but a year old by falling and fracturing his skull in the region of the cerebellum, or little brain, which | Is located back of the ears. The accident resulted in paralysis, that robbed him of the use of his limbs as well as of his tongue. The child was operated on at St. Luke’s a few days ago by Dr. C. G. Kenyon, and his re- covery is now assured, though the pressure of the skull was slowly killing him until a fortnight ago. Through all the years of pain and suffering the child’s muscular development was almost wholly arrested, and his mental faculties remained about the same as those of a babe. 4 | The little sufferer is a son of Charles F. Wilkins of Hawthorne, Nev., and a nephew of James Wilkins of the Cliff House. “His father spent thousands of dollars trying to relieve him,” sald James Wilkins yesterday, “but no aid came until his grandmother discovered that there was a pressure on the brain. He was sent to Dr. Kenyon, who performed the opera- tion which has saved his life and guaranteed that he will develop into a healthy child.'” The pressure on the cerebellum was in the region of what is known in anatomy as the foramen magnum, which is that great opening that allows %the cable system of nerves to run from the head to various parts of the body. removed, and the lad almost immediately showed signs of recovery. The skull removed was as large as a silver quarter. It is believed that the skull wound will soon heal, and that the brain, since the pressure of the skull has been re- moved, will soon grow to such a condition of health and strength that there will be no trouble in the future. The child already begins to show signs of renewed vigor, and there is little question in the mind of the surgeon that in the course of a year or two he will have so far regained what he has lost in six years of paralysis that there will be little difference between his condition in | as once ac- | moters of the scheme yesterday, “is a and that of the average child. The operation was one of the most and successful in the history of local surgery. diffiuclt T0RECLAIM SWAMP LANDS Proposed Scheme to Util- ize the Garbage of the City. | | | | | Scavengers Meet and Appoint! | a Committee to Make | Inquiries. They Object to Being Compelled to | Pay the Charges to the Crema- tory Company. | The scavengers of the city are formu- lating a scheme to get rid of the bur- | den imposed upon them of taking all | the garbage to the crematory, which | they claim is not only a serious loss to | them, but also to the citizens gener- ally. The scheme is to form a syndicate to buy the swamp lands in Alameda County and reclaim them with the | | garbage of this city., It is believed that the lands could be got for almost a | nominal price, being practically useless as they are at present. The garbage | would be taken across the bay inscows, | which would be stationed at a con- venient point on this side. The only thing in the way that looks like a stumbling block is the expense of un- loading the scows, but it is probable | that some machinery may be obtained | to make the work easy and inexpen- | sive. A meeting of the scavengers was held | a few days ago, when the whole ques- | tion was discussed at length and a | committee was appointed to make all | possible inquiries and report at a rfeet- ing to be held as soon as they are| ready. The scheme is at present in an embryonic stage, but it is receiving tha | support of nearly all the scavengers, and it is expected that no great diffi- culty will be experienced in carrying it out. “The crematory,” said one of the pro- serious tax upon us and upon the citi- zens. I understand that the crematory people make & clear profit of about $400 | per month, and this money comes out | of the pockets of the citizens. To meet | the crematory charges we have to in- crease our charges to the citizens, and | now we have to assess a poor man 40 | or 50 cents a month, when 25 cents covered the bill before the crematory was started. In other cases we have | been compelled to charge more than double, so that you can see that the profit that goes into the pockets of the crematory people comes out of the pockets of the citizens. Our scheme is | perfectly feasible, and we anticipate no | great difficulty in successfully carry- | ing it out. It will of course take a lit- tle time, but we are in earnest and mean to push it through as speedily as possible. We hope to get some of the wealthy men in the city to take an in- terest in it from the fact that the lands | after they are reclaimed will be of con- | siderable value.” HONOR FOR A FAIR SINGER.

Ray- mond, alias Miller, and the blushing grandmother bride were no strangers to each other when they presented” them- selves before the Rev. Dr. Ford to be united in the sacred bonds of matrimony as they had just left the same lodging house, where they had been stopping for six months, to go to the Pavilion. The couple has not returned to that lodging house since, as the landlady and the newly wedded pair have not adjusted the trifling matter of room rent, a little consequerice which has placed 'the box contalning _the mechaniaal figures of Showman Raymond, alias Miller, in the hands of the Sheriff pending a suit for the settlement of this room rent. Two trunks belonging to the grandmother bride are now under lock and key at her former residence. The honeymoon was of short duration, as the pair quarreled on their way from the Pavilion. What the trouble was is not known, but it was such as to cause Mr. Raymond, alias Miller, to Jjump out of the carriage and walk down town, only to again confront his bride in a Powell street resort, where she was blowing off the foam from & cooling glass of lager beer. This was the last time the newly wedded couple met since that eventful night when they received $50 each for their parts in the show. ———————————— Shipwrecks and Duties.

Wakeham & Co. of Liverpool, Eng., and was chartered to load wheat at this port for Europe. She was 1113 tons net burden, 224 feet long, 34 feet 5 inches broad and 20 feet deep. The four apprentice boys who made their escape from the United States steamer Mohican have been recaptured and are now in the warship’s brig re- penting on bread and water. They made their escape in the captain’s gig, and it was recovered at Vallejo. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Zealandia sailed for Honolulu yester- day. There was a big crowd down to see her away, but she did not take many passengers for this time of the year. Those who went away in the cabin were: H. S. S. Aimes, Mrs. T. P. Colcord, Mrs. A. L.

Hanify & Co.’s new steamer Samoa had her trial trip on the bay yesterday and proved herself to be a first-class craft, answering fully the expectations of her builders. She has been chartered by the California and Northwestern Trading and Mining Company, and will leave here on May 25 next to connect with that concern’s river boats for Mi- nook, Circle City, Forty Mile and Daw- son City. She managed to get away about 5 o'clock. » The steamer Whitelaw did not get away yesterday morning at the expect- ed time. Captain Whitelaw, her owner, locked horns with the charterers and would not allow them to put any more horses aboard. The Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals also stepped in and made the charterers of the craft put in feeding bins for the animals. The schooner Bowhead sailed for Copper River yesterday with a party of twenty-one prospectors. The miners have purchased the vessel and will keep her in Alaska until they are ready to bring the bark back to San Fran- cisco. WERE UNITED IN MARRIAGE.
