He Must Decide Who Is the OwnerT of a Goat and Its Kid. | A ‘most perplexing problem will be sub- | mitted to Judge Joachimsen this morning and much interest Is manfested as to the | result of his decision. Lawyers and ci zens are equally interested and when the case is heard there will be a crowded courtroom. Yesterday morning Mrs. Margaret Ham- fiton, a lady $) years of age, living on and a fine of $%. | Twenty nd and Tennessee streets, ob- | tained a search warrant from. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Drury. of Judge | Joachimsen's court for the recovery of | 2 goat which had been stolen from her | gighteen months ago. Since then she had | Deen cor tly searching for the goat | and it was only Wednesday that she dis- | covered her pet in the yard of John Dwyer, on the Potrero hill, near Sixteenth street. What pleased her more than anything else was tc find that a kid was disporting Atself beside the goat as she had looked forward to the advent of the kid with feelings of joy, as she longed to make a particular pet of it. She made a demand upon Dwyer for the return of the goat and the kid, but Dwyer denled that either belonged to her. She told her story to Drury and he thought the search warrant should in- clude the kid as well as the goat, but It would rest with the Judge to determine | whether Dwyer could lay eclaim to the kid. She sald she was prepared to swear that the goat and kid belonged. to her, but Dwyer denies that the goat ever was hers and therefore both the goat and kid are his property. Policeman C. M.Barnes went with Mrs. Hamilton to the Dwyer homestead and she pointed out the goat, which Barnes selzed in virtue of the search warrant. The kid could not be seen and Barnes had to leave without it. He took the goat to the City Prison, where its appearance caused the greatest consternation. Ser geant Lindheimer objécted to have any- thing to do with the goat. ‘““What do think 1 am,” he roared at Barnes. “Do you think I am the poundkeeper? Take | 1 don’t care what you do with in answer to a question of Barnes, who seemed perplexed to know what to do. Finally it was arranged that the goat should be taken to Westphal's stables to await the decision of the Judge this morning. —_—— Fong Suey Wan’s Escape.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Oct. 2I.—Edwin F. Cragin, the Chicago engineer and con- tractor, and Edward Eyere and Frank S. ‘Washburn of New York City, have made an agreement with President Zelaya to construct an interoceanic canal. Under the terms of the concession they are au- thorized to negotiate with the Maritime Canal Company, whose concession will elapse next October. The form of agre ment gu ntees a release from the in- cubus of the old company while making satisfactory arrangements with all par- ties. Thec oncessionaires represent ade- quate capital, which with efficient engi- neers and contractors, assures a prompt beginning and an early c canal, in contrast to the inactivity of the Maritime Company for the last ten years. The option requires the concessionaires to commence work immediately after the | expiration of the existing concession in October next. They must deposit $100,000 in gold in the Nicaraguan Treasury as a uarantee on signing the option, and 400,000 more within three months after. They must organize a company within six months, begin the excavation of the canal withih twenty-six months, open up some transit route across Nicaragua within three years and complete the canal within ten years. The option provides also that the concessionaires shall give Nicaragua 8 per cent of the stock and net dividends pro rata annually for nine- ty-nine years’ traffic, dividing the net dividends equally with Nicaragua. Sev- eral fines of $100,000 each are mentioned in the event of non-compliance with the pro- visions specified. The option is now before the Nicaraguan Congress. NORMAL SCHOOL FACULTY.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2i.—Nathaniel Childs, press agent of the “Way Down Bast” Company, which is playing at a local theater, dled a suicide to-day at the Jefferson Hospital. He swallowed forty- five i:'ulns of morphine, after which he shot himself in the head. Mr. Childs graduated from Harvard in 1869, and for several years he was editor of the Boston Traveler. He entered the theatrical pro- fession in 1876 and wrote a number of lays. At one time he was advance agent 'or Henry Irving, and for ten years acted in the same capacity for Abbey, Schoffel & Grau. The, fallure of the play, “Little Miss No- body.” in December last, in which he was interested, made him very despondent and he began to drink. He was about o0 years of age.

An Investigation Fraught With Interest and Important Results to One Branch of Science. The disreputable Butchertown shrimps, after enjoying a long period of immunity at the hands of the law, are in serious trouble. Yesterday morning City Chemist Frank Green, acting under speclal orders from the San Francisco Board of Health, sent two deputies to the slaughter-house | wharves, armed with long cane poles, sea. grass lines and sharp hooks, to cap- ture thirty or more of the swarm of dan- gerous little wretches for analytical pur- | poses. The deputles’ efforts were crowned with success and within a short time they wended their way toward the city bufld- ings with the required number of shrimps. To-day Professor Green will begin sci- entific operations upon them, and by the time he gets through there will be very little left of these good-for-nothing shrimps, except, possibly, a few ounces of poison, a pot of sulphuretted hydrogen and some unsavory memories. For a long period of time fishermen plying their trade in the waters of the bay in the vicinity of the Butchertown wharves have complained of violent | stomachic pains, necessitating frequent calls for the doctor and heavy medical bills, thereby entailing financial discom- | ‘fort as well as physical suffering. As the pains usually followed the eating of Butchertown shrimps all theories of d pepsia_were soon swept to the winds by the suspicion, which soon ripened into | belief, that the shrimps were poisonous. Nobody thought for a minute that the fish had resorted to the dissemination of poison with malice aforethought, but the fact remained that shrimps in other por- tions of the bay were palatable to the taste and wholesome for the digestion. Finally the fishermen complained to the | Board of Health about the matter and Dr. Gallwey made an investigation, re-| | porting that he was led to belleve that | the Butchertown shrimps were highly sea- soned with poisonous ptomaines. He ad- vised that Chemist Green be instructed to analyze the fish and see whether or not his conclusions were correct. Sev- | eral citizens who had purchased some of | | the shrimps in open market and who suf- | fered for their indiscretion made the matter still more urgent, and the chem- | ist was told to get to his work on the analysis as soon as possible. : Professor Green will chop the shrimps | into small pieces. He will put the | through various machines of brass, gl | and_iron; pass them through varied cc | ored acias and alkalies, gradually dissipat- | ing the fleshy substance and the bones | and aiming to save nothing except the poisonous ptomaines, if such exist. The operation will require a number of davs nd the outcome will be watched with interest. Up to the present time pto- maine poisoning has never been clearly explained by scientists. Investigations | | on the subject are in progress in all of the | medical institutions of this country and | Europe. It is now belleved that pro- cesses of decomposition in animal mat- ter generate ptomaines of several hun- dred different kinds. The eating of de- cayed animals by fish would transfer the | | ptomaines to them. | "1t it is found that the Butchertown shrimps are deadly when dead, fishermen will be warned to let them alone in the future and will be advised to do their angling in Oakland and Alameda waters, where the shrimps are of unblemished reputation. The shrimp investigation will be the | first work undertaken in the new labor- | atory just finished. The apparatus is of | the ‘most complete character. In_fa | the laboratory is the finest west of Chi- | cago. It will be possible to conduct the | most exhaustive inquiries into various | food products sold in the market, with a | view to the detection of adulterations. PERU MUST NOW PAY MACCORD $40.000 Award of the Chief Justice of Canada for the Imprisonment of the Consular Agent. WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—The award of the Chief Justice of Canada, to whose ar- bitration was submitted the claim of Vic- tor H. Maccord against the Government of Peru for damages sustained by reason of imprisonment during one of the revo- lutionary outbreaks there, has been re- ceived at the State Department. Mac- cord is awarded $40,000. The payment of this amount will close a diplomatic con- troversy which has been In progress be- tween the United States and Peru for six! years, this Government having persist- ently, but fruitiessly, heretofore urged re’Farnllon for Maccord. he settlement provides that the money must be paid to Maccord within six months from the date of the award. Fees | to the Chief Justice of Canada—$1000 by the United States and $1000 by Peru—| were paid before the terms of the award | were made known to the respective gov- ernments. The arbitrator was the Right Hon. Samuel Henry Strong, P. C. Mac- cord was Consular agent of the United States at Arequipa, Peru, in 1885, and also superintendent of a railroad. During a revolution he was thrown into prison and his life threatened. His original claim was for $200,000. BB Fire at Fresno. FRESNO, Oct. .—Fire broke out at about 10 o’clock this evening in the furni- ture store of W. F. McVey, and in a half | hour the place and $12,000 worth of prop- erty were destroyed. The fire began in the rear of the store, where considerable ex- celsior and other inflammable material was stored, and sgread ra,nldlg. Had it not beem, for the bursting of hose, how- ever, it likely that some of the prop- erty would have been saved. McVey's stock was valued at $10.000, and the insur- ance on it was $6000. The damage to the building, which is owned by the Bradley heirs, amounts to about ). Nothing is known of the origin of the fire. e Sl Fast Run of a Liner.

PORTO RICANS SLAIl BY SPANISH SOLDIERS Details of the Riot at Arrecibo Be- tween Countrymen and the Troops. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, October 27.— Full details of the Arrecibo incident of Sunday, October 9, have been received here, although the Spanish censor declines to allow their publication in the local newspapers. It appears that the trouble began In a row between some soldiers of the Alfonso XIII battalion and a num- ber of countrymen. The soldiers retreat- ed to the neighboring barracks and, af- ter arming themselves with Mauser rifles, returned and fired upon the crowd, kill- ing four men and wounding many. The crowd, to the number of 200, secured ma- chetes and rushed through the streets, the soldiers retreating to the barracks. The people then carried their woundefll to the house of the British Consul, where they found several United States ulficerxl and soldiers, from whom they asked jus- | ce. When the wounded were cared for the townspeople returned to the scene of the conflict to destroy the houses of several well-known Spaniards. Ultimately, how- ever, the persuasive word of cooler men, coupled with the establishment of a vigi- la?]ce committee, succeeded in restoring order. But only for a time. The same after- noon a party of forty Porto Ricans com- pletely destroyed the business house of a well-known Spaniard. During the affair an American was killed. The night was not without its alarm. There was shoot- ing at the barracks, though no one was Seventeen different fires in the sur- ounding country were counted from the housetops of Arrecihp. The following day most of the business houses remained closed. That night twenty-four fires were counted. On Tuesday most of the Spanish business houses remained close and those that opened their doors were soon forced to close. The military commander at last issued an order directing that all places of business be closed forthwith. — .

FRESNO, Oct. 27.—Webster Davis, As- sistant Secretary of the Interior, spoke in Armory Hall to-night to a large audi- ence in spite of the counter attractions offered by Wallace's circus and the thea- ter. His speech was an eloquent one and greatly enjoyed, the applause being frequent and enthuslastic. ~As the speech was drawing to a close the fire bells rang and the people who were proof against the temptation of the circus and the the- ater began to fidget in their seats and a few left the hall. Mr. Davis quickly took In the situation and wisely cut his address short. . The Arrest of Chin Noon. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 27.—Chief of Police Dwyer this afternoon received a telephone message from the San Francisco police office to the effect that Detective Gibson had gone to consult with the Chinese Con- sul concerning the arrest in this city last night of Chin Noon on a charge of mur- der. The crime for which he was ar- rested was committed in San Francisco last Monday night. Chin Noon was then in this city, employed as a tailor. He evidently knew, however, that the crime was to be committed, as he went to see Chief Dwyer that night to prove his whereabouts. The Chinaman may be taken to San Francisco.
