Though the murderer met his doom with more fortitude than had been ex- pected his :ast moments were fraught Wwith such awful mental suffering that many of the spectators at the execu- tion averted their eyes at the fateful moment and failed to see the drap. At 9 o'clock Warden Hale proceeded the death chamber and was in- med by the condemned man that the reading of the death warrant would be waived. Mrs. Burns and a Salvationist named Montgomery, both of Oakland, were with c.ark until the moment he left his cell, offering him religious con- solation. He informed them and Chap- lain Drahms that he was resigned to his fate and believed that his soul would be received in heaven. Supported by two guards and pre- ceded by Chaplain Drahms he mounted the steps to the scaffold with a fairly firm step, took his stand upon the trap and closed his eyes. His .ups were trembling and his hands nervously twitching, but all he said until the noose was adjusted was a continual repetition of the words, “Bless the Lorad!” Just as the black cap was about to be placed over his head Clark feebly asked to be permitted to speak a few words.. Hangman Lunt removed the noose, but Clark’s throat contracted and he was unable to utter a sound. The cap was placed in position, the signal given and quickly came the end. Clark’s neck was broken by the fall and the last pulsation had ceased in nine minutes. By Clark’s request the remains were intérred in the prison cemetery. The execution was witnessed by about seventy-five persons—an un- usually large number. The crime for which Clark paid with his life was the murder of his brother at St. Helena last June. He had lived for years with his brother’s wife and failing to put him out of the way with poison shot him while he was prepar- ing a meal in the kitchen of his own house.

AT SACRAMENTD FARCICAL TRIAL IN MARIN COUNTY District Attorney With the “ Push.” POLITICS BEFORE BUSINESS HENRY ALLEN’S PROSECUTION A MOCKERY. Important Witnesses Not Called in the Case—Taxpayers Grum- bling at Mr. Martinelli’s Methods. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 21.—It is an opinion commonly expressed in political | circles that District Attorney E. B. Martinelli is rather “‘slow,” but the man- ner in which the prosecution of a man | charged with assault to commit mur- | der was conducted here last Wednes- day has given rise to a notion that now | and then there is a method in his slow- | ness. A man named Henry Allen was ar- | rested at Tamalpais on August 14 last | for shooting Joseph Malatesta. The | | evidence given in the Justice Court| | was deemed amply sufficient to justify | Allen being bound over to answer the | charge of assault with a deadly weapon, | with intent to commit murder, in_the | Superior Court. On motion of the Dis- trict Attorney this was done. | "At that time Martinelli aspired for | the Republican nomination for the of- | fice of which he is the incumbent, but before the Superior Court trial he re- ceived the nomination through the in- strumentality of the Sausalito “push,” which proudly refers to him as its “friend.” This produced a decided | change In the result of the trial, at least so far as appearances go. Wednesday last the alleged “trial” occurred. It came so near being a farce that people in general would laugh were it not for the fact that such farces cost taxpayers a good deal of money. Four witnesses who gave vital testimany at the preliminary examination were not called at all and no real endeavor was made to elicit the facts of the case from | one of the witnesses who was called. | The four men not called were Michael | McNamara, Philip le Cornec, Daniel Campbell and Frank Murray. McNamara testified in the Justice Court that Allen pushed Malatesta out of his saloon and shot him while the man was so drunk tpnat he had twice fallen. He heard Allen threaten to | iNOT ON ASSESSMENT ROLL | | | DISCOVERY CAUSES QUITE A| COMMOTION. | | “Appointees Endeavor to Square Themselves by Offering All Sorts of Personal Prop- erty for Assessment.

Steps were | at once taken to mandamus the Board | of Supervisors and compel it to re- vise the list. This announcement caused a tremen- dous scrambling to-day on the part of those election officers selected by the Supervisors to get on the assessment | roll. When Assessor Berkey's office was opened this morning a line of men was | found in walting. The first of these | stepped forward and announced that he | had been overlooked when the Assessor | made up his personal property roll some | months ago, and that he had some jewelry on which he was anxious to pay taxes. Another presented a watch, which he said had escaped the vigilance of the Assessor, and as he was -am- bitious to bear his burden of the ex- penses of government he asked that the watch be put down as valued at §50, the tax on which is 88 cents. Others claimed to own various articles coming under the head of personal property. Assessor Berkey was absent, and his deputies refused to accept the respon- sibility of receiving these extraordinary voluntary assessments. Berkey will be back in two or three days, when it will | be settled whether these officers are to | be placed on the roll as taxpayers or a new list of election officers selected. It was stated to-night by members of the committee that a new list will be adopt- ed by the Supervisors without the ne- cessity of resorting to the courts.

ENTHUSIASM IS UNBOUNDED AT ALL PLACES CEEERS GREET THE PRESIDENT. Most Imposing Demonstration of the Day at Indianapolis, Where an Interesting Address * ‘Was Delivered. Specfal Dispatch to The Call. CINCINNATI, Oct. 21.—One continu- ous ovation has marked the passage of President Willlam McKinley to-day over the States of Indiana and Ohio. Defying the wind and rain of a most disagreeable October day, the citizens of these States have congregated in great numbers at every station along the line, and never have they been dis- appointed, for the President has gra- clously appeared at every point where crowds awaited his coming, to speak a few words to his constituents and re- ceive their approving cheers. Perhaps the most imposing demon- stration of the day was at Indianapo- lis, where the streets through which the President was driven to the State house were jammed with cheering peo- ple. Here on the steps of the State Capitol, almost within the shadow of the statue of Thomas A. Hendricks, the President delivered one of the most striking and eloquent addresses on his long Western tour. In the course of it he paid graceful tribute to the mem- ory of Hendricks and referred also to ex-President Harrison, both of which references were received by the people with deafening applause. The desire of the President is always to have the train stopped at every point where any considerable crowd of people are gathered to hear him, and conse- quently the special train to-day was sometimes far behind the schedule time, but under the direction of Dave N. Bell, who is in charge of the train, the lost time was largely made up by fast running. At Connorsville, Ind., a two-months- old baby was handed over the ralling of the rear platform into the arms of Secretary Wilson, who presented to the President his youngest namesake—Wil- liam McKinley. Another humorous in- | cident was when Secretary Wilson was | introduced after the President had fin- ishéd his remarks at Connorsville. Twice Mr. Wilson commenced to speak and twice he was interrupted by the| starting of the train. Then Secretary Gage shouted: “The eloquence of the Secretary of Agriculture starts the wheels going."” Amid great laughter Mr. Wilson then concluded his brief. address and the train pulled out. President McKinley was in this city | for two hours to-day. His visit brought to the city an immense crowd of stran- gers, and all the city Itself seemed to have turned out to give him a welcgme. | The public schools suspended for the forenoon ang 4ll the pupils of the grammar grades occupied University Park, round which the Presidential party passed in procession. The Presi- dent was accompanied by his wife and by Secretary of the Treasury Gage, Secretary of the Interjor Bliss, Post- master General Smith and Mrs. Smith, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Miss Wilson, Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn, J. A. Porter, private secretary to the President, and Assist- ant Private Secretary Cortelyou. The Presidential party disembarked at Washington and Noble streets, on the eastern side of the city, entered open carriages and drove to the Capitol grounds. At the Capitol grounds Senator Fair- ba’réks introduced the President, who said: My Fellow-Citizens: the words of welcome spoken in your behalf by your distinguished Senator. I thank you for this cordial and hearty Ereeflng at the capital city of your great tate. We meet in _no party name; we meet in the name of the country, of pa- triotism and of peace. (Great applause.) It gives me peculiar pleasure to meet tne people of the city of the honie residence of that illustrious statesman and my rre- decessor in_the great Presidential office, Benjamin Harrison.

FAKING BROKERS CAUSE SERIOUS COMPLICATIONS Hypothecated Bonds of a Railroad. | APPROPRIATED THEPROCEEDS | TACOMA AND NEW YORK INSTI- TUTIONS INVOLVED. Causes the Reorganization of a Rail- road and the Deposition of a Prominent Bank President Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Oct. 21.—It has just come to light that nearly $500,000 of the Ta- coma and Columbia River Railway bonds were hypothecated in New York last summer by brokers entrusted with their sale. The bonds to the amount named were turned over to them on their statement that they had placed the first $250,000 and later $750,000 of the bonds. The proceeds were to be used in extending the railroad from Lake Park, a suburb of Tacoma, through the Cascade Mountains to the Columbia River. One of the brokers mentioned paild President Bailey $15,000 for an interest in the railway project. They sent Bai- ley $31,000 afterward, but the remit- tances then stopped, though large obli- gations were being incurred here for labor and material. Bailey left secretly for New York and secured a relinquishment from the brokers of all their interest in the bonds. This did him little good, how- ever, since he found that they had been hypothecated for comparatively small sums in New York and Boston. He claims that the proceeds of the hypoth- ecation, other than the amounts sent him, were devoted to the brokers’ per- sonal use. He threatened to arrest them, but refrained in response to their appeals. Besides he belleved that such a course would injure this enterprise. The New York Stock Exchange was notified that the bonds had been ille- gally disposed of and the company would not recognize the title of the holders. This fact is said to have caused trouble for President Baltes of the Merchants’ and Traders’ Bank, New | York, whose resignation has just been requested by the bank’s directors. Baltes is believed to have ,innocently } purchased the bonds of Balley’s broke:s, Bailey wrote him in September inform- ing him how the bonds had been se- | cured and asking him how many his | bank held. Baltes made no reply, | whereupon Balley sent copies of his let- ter to Baltes to Directér Pool and the cashier of Baltes’ bank. An investiga- | tion followed and the request for Baltes’ resignation is supposed to be the re- sult. | Another result of the bond manipula- | tion has been the complete reorganiza- | tion of the Tacoma and Columbia Rail- way, the dropping of the two brokers directors and the elcetion as di- | rectors of several of the richest men in | the Northwest. President Bailey will | go to New York next week, where he expects to recover nearly all of the hypothecated bonds and sell them in a | legitimate manner. Work on the rail- | road will then be resumed. PRESIDENT BALTES SUMMARILY REMOVED NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—The Mechanics’ and Traders' Bank, concerning which there developed some adverse rumors over night, made its exchanges as usual at the clearing-house to-day. Among the bank presidents downtown the be- lief prevailed that the bank is perfectly solvent and that it will go right on, al- though there might be some changes in the management. At a directors’ meet- ing late in the day President Baltes was deposed and Vice President Lee Schlinger made president. The publication of the story that President Baltes had been offering his notes on the street caused a crowd to collect in front of the bank before the doors were opened to-day and when business began depositors lined up to the paying teller's window. AIll de- mands were promptly met. Officials of the bank assured the waiting depositors that the bank was perfectly solvent and that $100,000 in cash had been received at the bank for those who wished to withdraw. No- body, however, seemed to care to with- draw from the line. One German with- drew $8000, and from that figure down to $100 was drawn out. Information as to the amount paid out this morning was refused. At 11 o’clock this morning there were about 300 men in line walting to draw money from the bank. LOOKING FOR COAL MEN.

The Grand Encampment appropri- ated $200 to assist in the golden jubilee celebration of the order to be held in California next year. The sum of $150 was also appropriated, to be used with a llke sum to be given by the grand trustees, to purchase a life interest in the Thermalito Home for Ernest Dun- ker, past grand sentinel. The proposition to raise the member- ship fee from $5 to $10 was defeated. It was decided that the fact that the | encampment has a member in the Thermalito Home does not relieve such encampment from paying benefits to said member if sick, and such benefits must be paid. The following grand officers were then installed: Grand patriarch, J. W. Harris; grand high priest, Joseph Fos- ter; grand senior warden, P. D. Gum- moe; grand scribe, Willlam H.

Army of Fire-Fighters Meets With Some Success—Five Arrests at Pasadena Cause a Sen- sation. Special Dispatch to The Call. PASADENA, Oct. 21.—The furious forest fires have now been stayed from { icking up the Mount Lowe Alpine Tavern. This was the fourth denuding blaze that has swept over the moun- tains back of Pasadena this season. Last night the flames lit up the heav- ens and made it light enough in this city to read by. To-night the worst is | passed, and the fires are burning down | Eaton’s canyon. All the sides of the canyon have been denuded. and it must spend {its fury by morning. It was only by herculean efforts that the beautiful Alpine Tavern among the pines on Mount Lowe was saved this morning. Two hundred men under the lead of Manager Torrence and Ranger Thomas fought ft back and saved the property as well as the vegetation along the scenic railway. All day and all night men chopped trees and cleared paths with hoes and shovels to fizht back the fire flend in his wild ravings. ‘When they would think they had it un- der control, some giant pine burned off at the base would roll down another canyon or ravine, distributing a thou- sand torches through the tinder-like vegetation. All declared that the fires must have been from maliciousness. Five men are under arrest and others are suspected. The places where the fires started and the manner of their starting indicate that they could not have come from campers or hunters. Sensational de- velopments are looked for in the ar- rests. As the' mountains have been thus de- nuded for many square miles. grave fears are expressed regarding the water supply of the whole San Gabriel Vallev. Floods may be expected this winter and a water shortage next summer. Many of the Seventh Regiment sol- | diers were among the fire fighters and did asmuchgood as if they had gone to Manila. To-night the men are return- ing tired, torn and brown from the | scorching.

It Left the Rails on the New Steel Trestle and Nearly Went Off Into the Water. OAKLAND, Oct. 2L.—The new steel bridge built by the Southern Pacific at the foot of Harrison street and opened two weeks ago, commenced its record of accl- dents to-night. A passenger train was de- railed and only by one foot was it saved from going over the trestle. The conduc- tor landed in the water, but beyond a fright to the passengers, no other per- sonal injuries were received. o The accident was due to the error of a switchman. That the train was not thrown into the estuary and many lives lost is miraculous. There are switches at the approaches to either end of the Harrison-street bridge and these are to be operated auto- matically. They are not yet in proper shape and are therefore worked by hand. F. Underwood is the switchman at the Alameda end and J. Sullivan at the Oak- land side. According to Underwood, it is a difficult matter for him to distinguish the broad gauge from the narrow gauge locals, since both come from the same di- rection, and there is little difference in time. ‘When the Alameda local approached the bridge both switchmen were at their posts of duty, and Underwood, as the train glided across the estuary, switched | the train over to the new broadgauge tracks that are to soon transform the narrow-gauge system running to the Ala- meda mole. 4 . Engineer White. sgor- Tealizéd the mis- take and brought his train to a standstill In backing the train on to the bridge sb that it might be switched to the proper track, the forward wheels of the last car but one split the switch, crowding the east side wheels over the rails, derailing the car and forcing it to within a few inches of the edge of the trestle. The last coach, a smoker and baggage car, had al- ready been moved back on the bridge, and in another instant car 1688 would have toppied over into the waters of the estvary, dragging the smoker and per- haps other coaches with it. The train was loaded with passengers at the time, as the traffic of the early evening trains is especially heavy on account of the re- turn of many laborers to their homes in the Encinal city, and the loss of life, if any, would therefore have been great. A wrecking train and crew was imme-= diately dispatched to the scene of the accident, arriving about an hour after the occurrence and coming by way of East Oakland, Fruitvale and Alameda. After three =olid hours of hard work the de- railed train was returned to its tracks. During the interim all traffic was ob- structed and the passengers were com- pelled to make their way to the Alameda Slectric cars over a narrow cinder path way the best they knew how. In ste ping off the train Conductor Alex B chanan, who was in charge and whose misfortune it Is to have experienced more close calls and narrow escapes than any one on the local runs, fell into the estu- ary. The water was not as deep as was the mud, and the conductor went in up to his neck and was extricated with con- siderable difficulty. By 11 o'clock both broad and narrow gauge trains were again running. ADVERTISEMENTS. P e ON'T BE A RNEERNERRRANRRNRRRRNNRS Are 1y uiokly ohecked Etrong apd the mind clear.
