Harmon, from Fort Brare. Mendocino County, went to Sutro Heights yesterday, and during their ati they got into what is as the maze. There they were ac- osted by two operators of the pea and shell game, who asked them to try thelr luck at guessing. They declined, and one of them remark- ed that they h got any money Thrush pulled ) out of his pocket. Quick as lightning one of the peas nd shell men snatched a $10 gold piece out of Thrush's hand and skipped, followed by his part- ner.

There were half a dozen of them, and they wel- comed Kelly as a godsend. Kelly haa known_ them in a distant sort of a way while the races were in progress. None of them he knew well enough to make bosom companions of, but they seemed good fellows, and they piloted him Into a saloon. Of course, Kelly was friendly. “We had one drink,” said the re- pentant man from beneath the mass of soothing towels, as the barber scraped away at a three days' growth of stubby beard. “The bovs were folly and we had another.

It was In the evening when we met, and in my dazed way now I can count up to five «drinks all around. ‘Then we started to go. I can faintly remember seeing a lot of tall buildings toppling over as I got out on the sidewalk, and then all was a blank. “By the aid of the prison register I found myself on Friday morning. I will never forget the feelings I had while I was coming to. For a while I thought I was in the great beyona and that I had gone wrong on the road and landed below. I was lying on a hard board, and a little yellow light from a flickering gas jet streamed In on me. I lay there for a while trying to_think where 1 was, but gave it up. After a while I managed to sit up on a rude bench and presently I began to see the form of a man sitting near me holding_his head in his hands and moaning. My eyes begs customed to the light feet stuck out in a bright streak from the gas jet that came toward me. Then I w ed the more. They were not my shoes I had on, and for a while 1 had #oubts about them being my feet. I moved first one leg, then the other, and the feet moved with them. God! it was awful. The shoe on the right foot was a brogan that some tramp had thrown away. The sole was gone almost through and my toes ick out through a great hole in the side. It was big enough for me to get Dboth my feet In. The other boot was even worse. Half the upper was gone and a great hole in a dirty sock I had on that foot showed m bare toes. Then I stood up. It w the first time I fully realized I was not dead. Then I began to experi- ment with myself to see if T was not dreaming. 1 sat down, then stood up again. Then I turned around. ] was allve and awake, but very shaky. I had a hat on my head took it off and looked at it. It was a dalsy. I had never seen one like it before at such close inspection. Half the crown of it goue and the brim was scol- loped around the edges, and it was dirty all over. T had never had a hat hat could be made to look like ft. I was puzzled. Then I took a leok at my clothes. No_tramp was ever so disreputable as I looked. A pair of dirty patched overalls fastened about the walst by a piece of rope and many sizes too large for me, and a rusty, ragged coat that had apparently been fished from some garbage barrel, made up my apparel. Some frayed under- clothes and a tattered shirt that did not smell very an were next to my ;kln. Where I got them I do not ow. ‘About the time I got through with the survey of myself the nan near me looked up and hunched away from me. He was well dressed, and I did not blame him. He eyed me with dis- gust for a while, then he sank on a bench and rubbed his head. * ‘Where am 1?* 1 asked. “He looked at me a moment, then feebly replied with a moan as he restea h ad in his hands, ‘in jail.’ n Jaill How long have I been here ‘I don’t know,’ he replied. ‘I have Just come to myself.’ “ “What day is this? I asked, hoping to solve the mystery. ‘I don’t know,’ he replied. ‘It must be Thursday, or Friday or Saturday.’ “I began to study out the bars of the cell about that time. and soon after a trusty came along and with a rattle of keys opened the cell door and placed a couple of chunks of bread on a bench near us. Then an- other trusty came along and handed in _a couple of tin cups of bootleg coffee. The man who was with me in the cell gulped down the coffee, ana it sizzled as it went down. ‘Drink the coffee” he said to me. ‘It will do you good I reached for it but my hand trembled so I could hardly hold the cup. I managed to get some of it down. It made me feel better, and then I began to wonder how ot there. My watch—it was a vajuable one—my diamond pin and diamond cuff buttons were gone. My clothing had been lost in the shuffle and 1 did not haye a cent, though I had several hun- dred dollars in my pockets when I met those ‘good fellows' soon after I arrived with the corn tassels hanging to me. Those ‘good fellows, 1 guess, are now on the way home across the Rockies to mamma and a square meal with my money and my clothes and my_dlamonds. “I can’t kick. T was a Rube and an easy game. The ‘knock-out’ drops they .put in the good red liquor I was foolish enough to pay for did it all. They_just played me one, two, three, and I was a sure shot. ‘Where they took me after they had me fixed with dope I do not know, but they did their work well, and they did not leave me even a sock fit to wear. “Soon after I got the coffee down in the cell another trusty came along, and with a bang opened the door of the cell. “ “Turgble out here, you bums,’ he yelled. "My companion shuffled . out and I followed him. There were sev- eral old soaks standing along in a line and I was put with them. Then a sergeant came along. ‘Broom bri- gade fall in’ he yelled as he came toward us. Then he began to call the roll. Two or three answered ‘here’ to their names. ‘M. J. Kelly, bawled the sergeant. 1 started to explain, but I was cut short, ‘Answer to your name, the officer veiled and I feebly replied with & ‘hére’ Then a trusty gave each of us a broom and started us to work. We worked about an hour sweeping out the prison, then we were turned loose. “It was then that the real trouble Mike Kelly Met Some Jolly Good Fellows ‘and They Finished Him With Knock-Out Drops.

I was a villainous looking being, and as there were no men in the house she took the wisest course when she saw my rags and sald: ‘We have nothing for you,” and slammed the door. “I know the sight of a tramp at the door scared her, and as I still had the hat over my face she did not have a chance to recognize me. I was then in an awful fix. I rapped on the door and whistled to again attract attention. My sister finally opened an upstairs window and called to me to know what I wanted. ‘“ ‘It's ‘me, Mike, your brother, hon- est it is—look at me'—and I took off the rag of a hat so she could see my face. “She studied out my features after a while, and then came down and let me in. “I took good care not to sit down anywhere in the house, and as soon as 1 could I got the tramp’s clothing off and made a bonfire of them in_ the back vard. After a bolling hot bath I borrowed one of my brother-in-law’s night shirts and then went to bed, meanwhile telegraphing to my wife in _ Sacramento to hurry to San Francisco with a com- plete outfit of rlnlhlnF for me. I re- mained in bed until she arrived.” ' It was early on Thursday evening when Kelly met the racetrack friends, but it was about 4 o'clock on Friday morning when Policeman Hurd found Kelly lyving on a bench in Union Park inse; ble from the drug that had been administered to him, and dressed in a garb that would make a tramp ashamed of himself. Kelly is at a loss to know where the men who robbed him got the ragged suit they dressed him in, after stripping him of his natty suit and his jewelry and money. © LABOR WINS A BIG VICTORY Fined for Violating the Eight-Hour Law. i JUDGE DE HAVEN'S IDEAS JOHEN KELSO AND THE BRIDGE COMPANY MUST PAY. Motion for Arrest of Judgment De- nied and the Offenders Mulcted in the Sum of Two Hun- dred Dollars Each. United States District Judge de Haven vesterday denied the motion for arrest of Jjudgment In the cases of the John Kelso Company and the San Francisco Bridge Company, convicted a short time ago'for violating the Federal eight-hour law in the work of excavating the site for the { and the power of new Government bullding on the corner of Seventh and Mission s%reets. The court read a lengthy opinion over- ruling the arguments of the defendants as to their contention that the law was lun(-onamunonal. and concluded as fol- ows: Has Congress the power to prescribe the terms and conditions under which labor shall be performed in the construction of public works of the United States, and without refer- ence to the fact whether sich public works are or are not upon land over which the national Government exercises exclusive political Juris- diction? 1 entertain no doubt of the authority of Congress in this respect. Public works are instrumentalities for the execution of the pow- ors of government. In the constuction of its public works the United States exercises the power which belongs to it as a soverelgn na- tion, and as a necessary incident of its sover- clgnty has the right to legislate In reference to all matters relating to the construction of such works, including the number of hours which shall constitute a day’s labor for those employed in such work. Laws have been passed limiting the hours for the labor of letter carriers in any one day and for those employe in the navy yards of the United States, and for all laborers and mechanics employed “’by or behalf of the Government of the United States, Congress to pass such laws has never been seriously questioned. In my opinion Congress has the same power to pro- vide that laborers upon public works of the United States shall mot be required or per- mitted to work more than eight hours in one day, and it may compel obedlence to such & law’ by providing that its violation shall con- stitute an offense against the United States and be punished as such. Nor s this right of legislation In the| least tmpaired or affected by the fact that such public works may be erected upon land over which the State retalns political jurisdiction, as the soverelgnty of the State does not ex- tend to matters connected with or incident to the construction of public works of the United States, and Congress, in providing as it has for the punishment of any contracter upon_such blic works, or any officer of the United ‘States who should violate the provisions of the law under consideration, was not legisl: manner ting upon @ subject which in’any ches upon the reserved powers of the State. The subject' matter of the law Is one which con- cerns only the Government of the United States, and over which it has the right to exercise supreme and exclusive control, notwithstanding the fact that the State, for all purposes rel ing to the government of the State and the ad- ministration of its laws, retains political Juris- diction over the land upon which such public works may be erected. This conclusion necessarfly results from a conslderation of the fact that under American constitutional Jaw the national Government and the States which compose it are clothed with separate powers of soverelgnty over distinct subjects Within their respective spheres of ac- tion, and which powers may therefore be exer- cised by each without coming into conflict with the other. The motion will be dented. A ten days' stay was granted at the re- quest of the defendants. —_———————— French Dinner 25c. Orange sherbet or jce cream free.

RAILROAD: NFLUENCE FOR GACE |Speculation Concern- ing Corporations. MAY FAVOR A DARK HORSE A DESIRE TO DEFEAT BULLA FOR SENATOR. Southern Republicans Are Alarmed | at the Way in Which Events Are Xow Being Shaped. Republicans In the southern part of the State are becoming alarmed at the apparent attempt of the Southern Pa- cific Company and other corporation influences to cause a split in the party and thereby rob the South of any of the prospective fruits of the coming election. As far as this part of the State is concerned this activity on the part of the corporations has a significance that is not well understood, but with the south it is an assured fact and the consequences are only too apparent. Henry T. Gage has been put forward as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, and during the past week | the radius of his boom has been ex- tended until now the whole State is being: canvassed in a quiet way in his Interests. Republicans nortn of the Tehachapi line are speculating as to whether this means that Gage is to be the bona fide candidate of the railroad | interests for the gubernatorial nomi- nation, and on the other side of the line the politicians are guessing whether or not the Gage boom will rob the south of its rightful claim to the next United States Senator. As to the latter contingency it is very certain that the corporation influence: will spare no pains to defeat R. N, Bulla for the Senatorship and to se- cure the election of a man from this end of the State who will be the cham- pion of the railroad interests in the halls of the national Congress. Should the southern delegation go to the State Convention with but one declared ob- {Ject, and that the right to name the man who is to be the next Senator, it is certain that such a right would be conceded them. If, however, the del- egation could be wholly or partially won over to the cause of Gage and his candidacy the result desired by the railroad politicians would be attained. The north would refuse to recognize the claims of the south to both the Sen- ator and the Governor, and the nomi- nation of the one znd the election of the other would be given to men from ‘this end of the State. This would, of course, give the railroad people a chance to put men of their own se- lection into the coveted places. This being so, it is not surprising that the corporation hirelings are pushing the Gage boom with all due diligence. At the instigation of Mr. Mills of the 1it- | erary bureau the subsidized press of the southern end of the State have ta- ken up the question and are printing double-leaded editorials, asking why the south should both Senator and Governor. They men- tion Gage's candidacy as one of the proposed stepping stones to southern | supremacy. The question of whether or not the corporations are assisting the Gage boom with any other intention than that of defeating Bulla for United | States Senator is one that is at this mo- ment reeeiving the serious considera- tion of the friends of every man in this end of the State who is a candidate for the place at the head of the ticket. Some ordinarily astute politicians pro- fess to believe that the railroad com- pany has in view a northen man whom it wishes to put forward as the Repub- lican candidate for Governor. These same politicians say that General Chip- man is the man of the hour in the cor- poration camp. They point to the fact that Chipman has considerable strength in the north and very little in the south. To correct this defect the | rajlroad company has put up Gage ‘as a candidate in the south, with the ex- pegtation that he can go before the convention with at least a portion of the strength of the southern delega- tion. At the proper moment strength could be traded to Chipman and the desired result would be at- tained. General Chipman has already ac- knowledged his willingness to be se- lected as the Republican nominee for Governor, and has thus paved the way | for what is to follow, if, indeed, there is anything the conclusion of those who profess to believe that Gage's can- didacy is only a clever political ruse to throw the general rublic off the real trend of the railroad company’s de- sires. In connection with present guberna- torial possibilities the attitude of the Populist party {is not uninteresting. The Cator following, which is the pro- gramme element of the partv have se- lected T. W. H. Shanahan as their can- didate for Governor. Cator has agreed to deliver the San Francisco delegation and Shanahan’s nomination is deemed certain. This condition of things is dis- pleasing to that portion of the -arty known as ‘“‘middle-of-the-road Popu- lists,” and they threaten to boycott the convention. They say that the date of the convention Is too early and that it was so fixed in order to give the pro- grammers an opportunity to put up a ticket that can be used for trading purposes. They clailm that Shanahan is trying to place himself in a vosition | where he can trade to the Democrats | his nomination for Governor for the | fusion nomination for Lieutenant Gov- ernor. Since the publication In these col- umns of the fact that Maguire's friends had proposed to George W. Monteith that he become a ‘candidate for the Populist nomination for Governor with the understanding that in case he se-f cured it he would resign his candidacy, provided the Democrats nominated Ma- guire. the prominent Populists in the interior have signified their marked disapproval of the scheme. Such men as Taylor Rogers, Daywalt and John- son have frequently been attacked by Maguire and his friends and they now propose to retaliate. Montefth makes the following state- ment in reply to the question as to his candidacy: I don't want to be a candidate In ary active sense and will not be. If the con- vention wants to nominate me I will abide by its action, and if it desires me to stick to the end I will accept its de- claration in that particular as absolute and final and entertaln no fusion propo- g}non that is not ordered by the conven- tion.

Harney's Account. “The citizens of Marysville are actively at work preparing a most novel and en- tertaining celebration for the Fourth of July,” said G. W. Harney, a well known resident of that city yesterday. “All the towns in Northern California have been invited to join with the Marys- ville people in giving expression to their patriotism on the great day; the South- ern Pacific Company has agreed to give special low rates® and extra accommoda- tions in order that all may have a chance to see the greatest celebration ever held in that portion of the State. “The celebration will be a representa- tion of the battle of Manila. This will be given on Ellis Lake, in the northern suburbs of Marysville. Upon an island in the lake the forts and land batteries of Cavite will be erected.. There are now under construction twenty battle-ships and cruisers, ten to represent the Ameri- can navy and ten the Spanish navy. i | | | | | | The combination is one for mu- | He has a strong rival in Victor | On | | | | The | Spanish’ships will be drawn up in front | of the forts and Dbatteries, while the | Americans will be located in a cove in the | iake out of sight. Y given the Americans will sail out and commence a terrific bombardment of the Spanish fort and ships, which will result in their utter and picturesque destruc- fon. The Manila fight is for evening énter- tainment. In the morning a patriotic parade will be given, consisting of floats representing ships in the American navy, especially Admiral Dewey" flagship Olympia. One of the citizens of Marys- ville, who bears a striking resemblance to that great naval hero. will be on the bridge to represent him. A representa- tion of a 13-inch gun and other patriotic floats will be shown; also a living moving flag, made up of 100 young ladies in cos- tume. There will be other features. A grand ball in the new Armory Hall will wind up the festivities. The citizens of Marysville are endeavor- Ing to perfect an arrangement with the Governor whereby the Northern Califor- nia military companies may be permitted to assemble at Marysville on the Fourth and there give their farewell dress pa- rade before being ordered to Manila. All the members of the general committee having charge of the celebration, twenty- five In number, have arranged to dress up in the costume of Uncle Sam and to parade at the head of the procession. The costumes will be brilliant and com- plete and will undoubtedly be considered a unique feature. ““Another feature that is in the nature of an advertisement of the city of Marys- ville, in that it is intended to show off the specfal advantages for light and power that Marysville now possesses will be the erection on the principal street of an im- mense arch. This arch is to be eovered with electric lights arranged in patriotic designs, such as the waving. American flag, the American eagle, the names of American army and navy heroes, shields and emblems.
