Dr. MacMonagle spoke very feelingly in favor of Kerr, and said that while he liked and respected Dr. McNutt, he disapproved of the methods of Dr. An- | derson and Dr. McNutt in undertakiig to_secure the latter’s election. While the voting was in progress Dr. S. 0. L. Potter, a supporter of Dr. Mc- Nutt, and a member of the faculty of | the College of Physici and Sur-| geons, and Dr. MacMonagle became in- volved in an altercgtion. and Dr. Pot- | ter struck Dr. MacMonagle in the face | with an umbrella.

Instantly Dr. Potter lunged at Dr. | MacMonagle with his umbrella, and, as | Dr. MacMonagle dodged, the ferule of the umbrella struck him on the fore- head. They were at once separated, and Dr. Potter attempted to bite the | arms of the men who interfered and | held him. Dr. Arnold struck at Potter | to help MacMonagle, but was re- | strained and did not reach his man. Another enccunter occurred in the| melee between Dr. Potter and Dr. Arn- | old, but was not serious. | A motion was made by Dr. Montgom- | ery to appoint a committee of three to | at once investigate Dr. Potter's assault | and report to the society before the end of the present session. Dr. MacMon- agle opposed the motion, saying that he would personally attend to Dr. Patter, | but the resolution was carried. The committee, composed of Drs. Pedlar, Robertson and Brainard, received the | testimony of Dr. Potter and his friends. Dr. Kerr was elected president by one vote, forty-eight ballots being cast for Kerr and forty-seven for McNutt. Dr. Hodghead of San Francisco was. elected | secretary over Dr. Cheney, the incum- bent, by a majority of two votes. Dr. Pedlar was elected first vice-president and Dr. Cole of Los Angeles second vice-president. Drs.

SH Two San Francisco Men Found Buried Beneath the Slide. Some Bodies Will Not Be Recovered Until the Summer Sun Thaws the Snow. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, April 20.—The steamship Humboldt brings the offiicial list of the d recovered from the Chilkoot Pass snow slide of April 3. A number of new names appear on the list. They are: ‘Willlam Carroll, San Francisco. A. O nderson, San Francisco. Mark Welsh, Butte, Mont. Henry Yearger, Los Angeles. Jeft Sailing, Weiser, Idaho. John Vogle, Los Angeles. Curtis: Turner, Omaha, Nebr. Albridge D. Bissell, Palarine, Ill. Thomas J. Wall, Hazel, S. Dak. Albridge D. Bissell is undoubtedly the A. A. Bissell mentioned in the first list as being a resident of Seattle. Wil- ltam Carroll of San Francisco is prob- ably the correct name for W. Carl of California, as given in the earlier lists. The only additions to the list of Se- attle dead are the names of Chris John- son and Oscar Johnson. Several Seattle people whose names were in the first list of dead sent out do not appear on | the late list. Among them are Ed Cook, George Overton, C. R. Homer, Con Riser, Weed Garrison and A. Chap- pell. Some of thése from and all are believed to be alive. Some of the bodies are still held at Sheep Camp awaiting instructions from friends or relatives in the States. Oth- ers have been buried near the scene of the terrible disaster. In the new ceme- tery, provided by Colonei Anderson and the Federal troops, a number of mounds show where others have found their last resting place. A number of bodies have been brought to Seattle on the steamers and turned over to rela- tives or friends. Purser Twiggs says that on Friday night last the work of digging into the pile that lies across the tral and marks the site of the crowning dis- aster of the most remarkable rush for gold the world has eyer seen had stopped. Travel has been resumed, and no more bodies are likely to be recov- ered until the sun melts away the huge pile of snow that it is believed covers the remains of possibly a dozen more victims. PATROL DUTY OF THE FLEET CRUISERS. An Increase of the Vigilance by the Squadron on Guard at 3 Key West. KEY WEST, Fa., April 20. — The crulser Cincinnati is missing from the squadron to-night.

Hitherto this duty has taken 1ave been heard | | the acting ships eight or ten miles out | |in the waters of the gulf, and they have ually returned early next morning. st night for the first time two cruis- ers were assigned instead of one. This morning the Marblehead returned as | usual, but not the Cincinnati, which | had not been sighted up to nightfall. Inquiry developed the fact that a| message was signaled to her from the | | flagship early this morning. Its import | | has not been ascertained on shore, but | | the answer was waved back, “Still nine | miles out.

Magistrate Meade, in the Essex Market | Court yesterday, applied the usual test | to determine the knowledge of youthful | witnesses as to the nature of an oath, | with results which astonished him. He | | was called upon to apply the test by Lawyer Mandelbaum, counsel for Bernard | Raeder, proprietor of a candy store at 77 | Lewlis street, who was arraigned on the | charge of maintaining a gambling resort | in the rear of the candy store. Agents | Agnew and Moore of the Gerry Society | raided the store late on Friday night and found eight boys sitting around two | tables playing casino. There was| a pile of pennies in the center of the tables and packages of chewing gum and | candy in front of the boys. The boys explained at the time that they were playing a three-cent game and that two | cents went into the “kitty” at the con- | clusion of the game. The “kitty,” they | | declared, went to Raeder. The Gerry | agents arrested Raeder and the boy card | players. The ages of the boys ranged from 10 to 14 years. When the case was called in the Police | Court yesterday Agents Moore and Ag-| | new declared that they had witnessed no | playing, but offered the boys as witnesses | against Raeder. The first boy calied be-| gan to explain tue alleged gambling. Mr. Mandelbaum s»id: “I object. This boy does not know _he nature of an oath.” “We will see,” said Magistrate Meade. | “Little boy,” said the magistrate, “‘where | do bad boys go when they die.” Ib"They g0 to heaven,” answered the {:29¥ 1 | 1 ! | | “Do you know what the Bible 18?” con- tinuea the magistrate, *Yes sir, it is a boc ' replied the boy. all the next witness, salu © magis- trate, with a disgusted look on his face. “Do you know what an oath s’ asked | | the magistrate when the next boy was | called. “Yes, sir.

Who made y-u?"’ “Ah, say, what you given me,” replied the boy. “I cannot accept this evidence,” said the magistrate. ‘It would not hold downtown. I am forced to discharge the prisoner.” The boys, upon their release, were loud- ly cheered by about 200 other boys who had gathered in the street in front of the courthouse.—New York § The Elkus Recital.

One Mortally Wounded by a Brave Express Messenger. Member of the Train’s Crew Killed by the Same Charge of Shot. STEPS BEFORE A GUN. LLif: Sacrificed in the Defense of the Wells-Fargo Express- Car. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, April 20.—The Santa Fe overland No. 1 westbound was held up at the Mojave River bridge, two miles west of Oro Grande, this county, at 2:40 o'clock this morn- ing. Engineer Gifford was killed by Express Messenger Mott, stepping in front of one of the robbers just as Mott fired. The outlaw was mortally wounded by the same charge. The hold-up occurred at a sharp curve, with a high cut on one side and an embankment on the other, ending in Mojave River. The train slackens its speed to about ten miles an hour over The overland reached Oro Grande on time. There the two rob- bers must have boarded the mailcar steps, and when the train reached the curve they climbed over the tender. In the cab were Engineer A. C. Gif- ford, Fireman C. H. Hicks and C. F. Clark of Barstow. A tapping on the tender attracted their attention. Look- ing around, they saw the muzzles of two guns held by masked men. They were ordered to stop the train. Then the robber, who is now known to be Tolbert Jones of Oro Grande, march- ed the fireman and Clark back to un- couple the express and mail cars. While they were thus engaged A. C.| Mott, the express messenger, looked out and was shot at. The train bein= on a curve, it was fmpossible to uncouple the baggage car. The mallcar, which was on the stralghtest track, was taken to a spur | some distance ahead by the two rob- | bers and the engireer. After it had[ been ransacked the robbers came back | on the light engine for another try at | the express car, but in the darkness| hit the train heavily, Jjamming the | couplings. | ‘While the robbers were away wit | h | | the mailcar the messenger came out, | and, with Clark, took up a position on | the steps at the rear of the express car. The robbers, unable to couple the car, ordered the engineer down to help them. When he was between the en- gine and the car Mott drew a bead on one of the robbers, but as he pulled the | trigger Gifford stepped out, receiving the charge in the head and breast, dy- ing instantly. The outlaw was wound- | ed in the neck and chest and rolled | over the embankment. Clark then crawled up to reconnoiter, | and, finding the other robber had fled, he went between the engine and the car and found Gifford. About twenty | feet down the bank was the wounded | bandit, unconscious. In his hand was | a bloody mask, and in one of his’coat pockets were found six sticks of dyna- mite, with fuse and caps. His first| question on gaining consciousness was: “Why did they shoot me? I was only hunting stray cattle.” Conductor Platner, at the first inkling | of the hold-up, had stolen back to Oro | Grande, and about the time the outlaw | recovered consciousness Platner arrived with a Constable and four men. The body of Gifford and the wounded robber were put into the baggage car and the train ran to Victor. While at Oro | Grande the conductor telegraphed to this city and a special was sent out at 5:10 with a Sheriff and posse aboard. | Engineer Morgan of Victor took Gif- | ford's place, and the overland arrived here a little over an hour late. | Jones was left at Victor for medical assistance. There he was recognized as an Oro Grande butcher and an old resi- dent. He is very well known, but has borne an unsavory reputation and been regarded as a cattle thief. During the forenoon another special | was dispatched with District Attorney | Daley, Assistant Sprecher, Stenogra- | pher Benjamin, Deputy Sheriffs Wha- | jey and Heap, United States Deputy Marshal Pourade, Special Santa Fe De- tective King and Sheriff Johnson of | Riverside, with bloodhounds. To-night at 9:15 the special train ar- rived from Victor with District Attor- ney Daley and party, who brought the wounded robber. Jones was shot in the | neck and chest, the charge ranging downward into the pleural cavity. It is supposed his backbone was injured as he is paralyzed from the chest down. When told of the evidence against him he claimed he was out hunting horses. He saw the engine standing and went up to see what was wrong. Just then he received a load of buckshot. He says that if a mask and dynamite were found on him some one put them there. Sheriff Johnson with his bloodhounds also returned, a high sand storm hav- ing destroyed the scent. Coroner Keating met the overland on its arrival here, and with a jury viewed the remains of Gifford, and then per- mitted the body to be taken to his home | in Los Angeles. The inquest will be held to-morrow. Gifford was well educated and well to.do. He was insured for about $5000 | and was a member of the Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges. His widow resides in Los Angeles. The run which cost his life was not his regular run, he having taken the place of an en- gineer whose locomotive needed minor repairs. Express Messenger Albert Clarke Mott, who saved the company many thousands, is a Colton boy about 29 years old and runs between Los An- geles and Albuquerque. He formerly was assistant to W. 8. Bullls of Wells- Fargo, now general auditor for this section. He is grief-stricken over Gif- ford’s death. Both he and Clark de- clare Gifford was out of sight when the gun was aimed, and no blame is attached to Mott. R. E. Bledsoe, a local attorney, was on the train and his face was bruised when the engine was bumped against ' | | | i | P | BARELY ESCAPES BEING LYNCHED BY ARGONAUTS. The Promoter of a Fake Mining Scheme Brought in Irons to Victoria. VICTORIA, April 20—On board the steamship Tees, which arrived from the north this evening, was a prisoner in irons. He was William T. Grider, the Californian, who left here about the beginning of March with fifty men, most of them well-to-do Stocktonians, who each paid him $75 in consideration for his leading them to rich gold fields on Na- tion River, in the Omenica country, where, according to his circular, sent out before the organization of the expedition, they could make at least $100 a day. Grider claimed to have been all through this country, but subse- quent events proved that he had never been north, having obtained all his information from Mining Recorder Wells of Hazelton and other northern mining men and from Professor Dawson's report of the coun- try, made ten years ago. A portion of his circular is taken from this word for word. When the party left Victoria it proceeded north on the Boscowitz to the Naas, and all went well until on arriving at the headwaters of the inlet it found the trail impassable. The men then began to mur- mur and a miners’ meeting was called to discuss ways and means. They sent Mrs. Grider back to Port Simpson with most of the supplies and went in light. Arriving at Aiyansh they found the trail all but impracticable and another meeting was held. Many of the party made threats of violence against Grider, and if it had not been for the intervention of the calmer members he would have been maltreated, if not killed. From there until the time of the arrival at Hazelton the murmurings and clamoring of the party against its leader increased in violence, and on arriving there they took him prisoner and according to the miners whom came down on the Tees it intended to lynch him. The authori- ties interfered, however, and a special constable was sworn in to bring Grider to Victoria. He is now in jall awaiting trial on charges of ob- taining money under false pretenses and perjury, preferre. against him by members of his party. Eleven of the party came down on the Tees. are stranded at Port Simpson and Hazelton. Grider, when asked if he would make a statement to The Call, cald he was satisfied that his character would be vindicated in the Most of the others D R T B e e e R R R R R S R s B S P R L L e TR Y end. + *¢§¢Q&#####++6##¢46§&0*4#44#++4+¢$#4— s.

He died in a few minutes. The robber came to and was brought to Victor, where we left him still alive. Mott says he has no knowledge of how Gifford could have received part of the shot. He is positive that he saw but one man when he pulled his trig- ger, and he thinks Gifford must have been crouching behind the bank and arose just as the shot was fired.

WASHINGTON, April 20.—The Board of Naval Bureau chiefs is considering the advisability of utilizing some of the old converted = smooth-bore guns for the auxillary cruisers. ‘Working day and night and using up the raw material for the manufacture of guns as rapidly as it can be produced, the naval ordnance bsreau is unable to supply the enormous demand now made upon it for guns of medium caliber. This is the case, mnotwith- standing the fact that almost all avail- able ordnance of this character in for- eign markets has been purchased. A large part of the guns that have been set apart for the auxiliary navy have bsorbed by the recently pur- Don Carlos in Brussels.

In a thoughtful paper on “A Waste of Education,” in the March Woman’s Home Companion, Brand Bunner Hud- dleston speaks of the tendency of wo- men to permit their talents to rust out: “Mental culture may be the most costly or the most valuable gift of par- ents to their children, just as they care of it after they get it. It is certain that few would equally neglect a material property of like monetary cost as they often do their educations. This, too, when money is the very shortest tape- line by which a mental gift may be measured. Perhaps it is due in part to the mistaken idea that when we have quitted the schoolroom we carry with us a stationary fund of knowledge that will or ought to be sufficient for our futlress LiEnie “‘Look at the piles of hard dollars and the illimitable hours of time spent ev- ery year in the study and practice of music alone; except for the good they are to teachers and to the makers of musical instruments, the half might as well be wiped out of existence at one clean sweep.

Not the plac- ing of children to study music or any other accomplishment that is for their good or that the purse will permit. Let them have all the advantages within reach, but also teach them ap- preciation; the folly consists in foster- ing through example, and by a tacit acceptance of the existing state of things, the idea that it can be other than a sinful waste of time to acquire a good thing and then neglect it.

Packers Tramp Over Bodies of Victims of the Dyea Avalanche. News of a Double Murder Brought From Fort Wrangel by the Del Norts. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, April 20.—The steamer | Skaguay, having left there on Friday last. The most interesting information declaration of martial law at Sheep | Camp was made by Colonel Anderson, U. S. A, commanding the District of Lynn Canal. This action was an after- math of the Chilcoot horror of April 3. During the days immediately following Colonel Anderson saw enough to satisfy him that martial law was the only way to hold the mob of eager Klondikers in check. Several of the scenes following the disaster were disgraceful. For two | days after the slide the packers kept off the trail, but they soon began to get uneasy and started in to pack, con- trary to the orders of the citizens’ committee. This seriously interfered with the work of the army of rescu- ers, who were digging into the pile of snow to recover the buried bodies. A collision between the triends of ‘the dead men and the packers, who per- sisted in pushing their way through, | was narrowly averted. Threats of | lynching were freely made, but wiser counsel prevailed. Fake embalmers ap- peared on the scene, and when their designs had been exposed the excite- ment ran high. Gambling at Sheep Camp has been continually on the increase and sure- thing men are beginning to get in their work. These are among the reasons that caused Colonel Anderson to declare martial law. On the day that this or- | der was issued a detachment of thirty men was sent forward from the Lyea military camp. They assumed control and all was quiet when the Humboldt left. The order has the support of the better classes. The latest arrivals from Walsh and Lake Creek districts are L. A. Davies | and R. R. Reed. They left the former stream on April 5 and intend to return very soon. They say there are forty-five loca- tions on Lake Creek, which is four miles long and is staked from the mouth to the summit. Walsh Creek is fifty-five miles long, and is staked for thirty-five miles of that distance. A good many of the first ones to stake on the Walsh Creek took up 100-foot claims only, but since learning that they are entitled to 250 feet, they have now been given the right to go up stream\and stake 150 feet more. Mr. Reed says that he believes that the ice will be out of the river about April 25. During the recent heavy weather Peter Anderson, a boatman, was | passenger from Dyea to Skaguay. The boat was upset and both men swam around for a time, until Anderson final- ly went down. The passenger, who was | a commercial traveler, caught hold of the upturned boat and clung to it until it floated ashore. The bark Mercury still lies on fits beam ends in the water at Skaguay. | Much of her deckload has been taken off on lighters. Many believe that the Mercury can never be raised. On April 14 a small snowslide on the trail, near the summit of White Pass, demolished the Ford Hotel. No one was in the building at the time. The steamer Del Norte, which ar- rived here to-day from Fort Wrangel, Alaska, brings meager particulars of a double murder on the Stickeen River. | The names of the murdered men were Burns and Henrickson of hilliwhack They were killed by a Swede named Clow, who has not yet been appre- hended. Other fatalities reported are the kill- ing of a man by the name of Collins of Los Angeles, Cal, by the falling of a tree, and the drowning of a man named Black of Iowa in the big canyon. THE GROWTH_OF CITY POPULA- TIONS. The sudden growth of great citles is the first result of the phenomenon of im- migration which we have to note. We think of this as essentially an American roblem. We comfort ourselves in our 'ailures of municipal administration with that thought. This is a grievous decep- tion. Most of the European cities have increased in population more rapidly than in America. haw has emphasized the same fact in his brilliant work on ‘“Mu- nicipal Government i Europe.” This is particularly true of great German urban centers. Berlin has outgrown our own metropolis, New York, in less than a generation, having in twenty-five years added as many actual new residents as Chicago, and twice as many as Philadel- phia. Hamburg has gained twice as many in population since 1875 as Boston; Leipsic has distanced St. Louis. The same demographic outburst has oc- curred in the smaller German cities as well. Cologne has gained the lead over Cleveland, Buffalo and Pittsburg, al- though_in 1880 it was the smallest of the four. Magdeburg has grown faster than Providence in the last ten years. Dussel- dorf has likewise outgrown St. Paul. Be- yond the confines of the German empire, from Norway to Italy, tue same is true. Stockholm has doubled its population; Copenhagen has increased two and one- half times; Christiania has trebled its numbers in a generation. Rome has in- creased from 184,000 in 1860 to 450,000 in 1894. Vienna, including its suburbs, has grown three times over within the same period. | | | | or selfish reason, ought to be perfected | pParis from 1881 to 1891 absorbed four-fifths | of the total increase of population for all of France within the same period.—Pro- ence Monthly for March. oA dE S ey B TN x R w7 Extracted ILLED - - CROWNED Bridgework WITHOUT PAIN.

Visitors Are Shown Miners at Work Two Thousand Feet Below the Surface. Speclal Dispatch to The Call L NEVADA CITY, April 20.—The day of the great parade in honor of the Grand Army organizations opened sun- less, but by 10 o'clock the clouds had broken away and the fear that the city's magnificent decorations might & spoiled and the proposed pageant inter- rupted by rain were set at rest. People began pouring in at an early hour from surrounding towns, thousands coming from Grass Valley alone. By 11 o'clock not less than 6000 people were on tha streets. The procession was the most impos- ing ever seen in this county. There were two bands and the cadet drum corps, Companies C and I of the Sec- ond Regiment, California Infantry, commanded by Colonel J. W. Guthrie; the colonel's staff; 200 Grand Army vet- erans; Hydraulic Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West; Nevada City Com- pany, Knights of Sherwood Forest; volunteer fire department, and 700 chil- | dren of the Nevada City public schools in uniform. A platoon of police headed the procession. The line of march included Broad, Main, Pine, Cottage and Commereial streets. Every bullding along these | business and residence thoroughfares was profusely decorated with red, | white and blue. The old veterans were the star attraction of the day, and con- | tinual cheering greeted them from | start to finish. Each of the school | classes had a patriotic yell and the Na- | tive Sons kept up a rattling volley of Rah, rah, rah! 2 Here's to the Maine. Cuba, Cuba. Down with Spain. | They yelled this in passing the veter- | ans on the countermarch. The old sol- | diers took it up and shouted it over | and over with guste. This afternoon all available convey- ances in the city and vicinity were brought into requisition and the city's guests were taken to the quartz mines, where the men and the least timid of the women were lowered to the bottom levels, from 1500 to 2000 feet beneath the surface, and saw the miners ex- tracting quartz. They were shown through the mills and chlorination works and saw the whole process of separating gold from rock and making it into bars of bullion. To-night the various encampments held business sessions in their halls. They will hold morning and afternoon sessions to-morrow, and in the even- ing will be entertained at a banquet to be given at Armory Hall under the di- rection of the local relief corps and Na- tive Daughters. Friday was originally programmed by the committee of fifty as Grass Valley day, but as the citizens of that place have made no arrange- ments to entertain the veterans they do not contemplate going to Grass Val- ley in a body. The fight for department command- ership between Veterans Seamans, Cahen, Stone and Cushing is waxing warm. Cahen is making aggressive efforts through his lieutenants to cap- ture the honor, but so far no candidate appears to have any “cinch” on the coveted place. To-night all sides admit that on the first ballot in the morning Colonel Stone is likely to lead, but his opponents seem confident he cannot hold his forces intact later. Several more delegates arrived on to- day’s trains. Among them were o Meehan, Captain R. P. Thomas and Phil 1. Fisher, of George H. Thomas Post; Captain F. L. Clarke, quarter- masterof the Veterans’ Home at Yount- ville, and W. W. Stone, president of the Lincoln Memorial Association, which is striving to raise funds to erect a Lin- coln monument at San Francisco. The association wants $100,000, but after fourteen months’ labor has raised only $1400, through the 25-cent certificate plan. President Stone says there is a scheme now formulating by which it is belleved the money will be secured in a reasonable time. Veterans throughout the country will be asked for offerings on next Memorial day and then an ap. peal will be made to wealthy and patri- otic citizens at large to make up the deficit. A number of liberal donations have already been promised in the East under this scheme. The following were elected by the Grand Army encampment to-night members of the Veterans’ Home Asso- ciation: Colonel J. C. Currier, re- elected, past department commander; Charles E. Wilson of Thomas Post, San Francisco, re-elected; William J. Rud- dock, Meade Post; Judge R. F. Craw- ford, Santa Rosa; J. C. Campbell, | Stockton. { | The “biggest” and most profitable gold mine in America is probably El | Ora, 100 miles from the City of Mexico, seven-eighths of which is owned by J. | B.
