PAULMIER GETS OFF WITH A FINE Acquitted on the Criminal Charge of Having Wounded M: Olivier. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 189, by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, Dec. 26.—As everybody expected, Mme. Paulmier has been . acquitted on the criminal charge of having wounded | M. Olivier, Secretaire de Redaction of - La Lanterne, but condemned- to-pay 15,000 francs damages on the civil charge of ma- terial injury sustained by M. Olivier. Mme. Paulmier touched the audience deeply by her impassioned references to her daughter, for whose sake she had taken the law into her own hands when the abominable article appeared in La Lanterne reflecting on her honor. As _for the author, Henri Turot, he took all the responsibility for the consequences of his defamatory article upon himself, | and sald he was going to try to seek to forget his remorse by means of a long exploring vovage. Maitress Jeanneney. for Olivier, Lom- bard, advocate-general, for the Govern- ment, and Danet for Mme. Paulmier, pre- sented their cases in a measured way, all equally reproving M. Turot, as well as Mme. Paulmier, but at the same time find- ing a sort of moral excuse for the latter. The question really was one of what !n.mount of damages ought to be imposed, 2s In France a woman is sure of acquit- | tal under such circumstances as taese. | Bo nobody is surprised at the verdict.

The Republican Central Committee’s Rooms Used as a Dragnet by the 2 Railroad’s Candidate for Senator. The coming election of a TUnited States Senator is still the engrossing topic of conversation among politicians of high and low degree, and the cam- paign of the several candidates for the position will be the feature of the holi- day week. Now that the Examiner has espoused | the cause of Colonel Dan Burns and the Los Angeles Times has announced itself in favor of U. S. Grant Jr., there seems to be some small hope that the decent people of the State will be per- mitted to have a voice in the matter, and the chances of other and less mal- | odorous candidates are brightening vis- | ibly. The Times opposed the candidacy of Henry T. Gage, with the result that he was elected by a majority of 20,000 votes. The Examiner sought to secure the election of James G. Maguire, with the result that he was defeated. The action of the Examiner in lend- ing its support to D. M. Burns, whose record as a citizen and an officeholder is of the worst, and whose candidacy is being promoted by all the power at the command of the Southern Pacific Company, is causing much comment among Democrats as well as Republi- cans. Of the thirty-three Democrats who are members of the coming Leg- islature a number have expressed them- selves as being of the opinion that the Examiner is seeking to secure the elec- tion of the railroad’s candidate for Sen- ator out of a spirit of revenge, engen- dered by the failure of the majority of the people to comply with its demands during the campaign. Others who are not so charitable refer to the stories that are going the rounds concerning harremeweal of the “secret agreement™ between the paper and the rallraad company, by the terms of which the corporation is to enjoy immunity from the attacks by the paper during a per- fod covering two sessions of the Legis- lature and one general election. Tt is gaid that the $2000 still due and payable to the Examiner on account of its former “secret agreement” with the railroad company is to be paid up without prejudice. There is no means of knowing at the present moment just how much truth there is in these rumors of a secret agreement, but there seems to be no other way of making a plausible ex- planation of the Examiner’s attitude. Prior to the election the paper posed as the enemy of the railroad corporation. Scarcely a day passed that its columns poration and the men who were sup- posed to represent it politically. As soon, however, as W. F. Herrin, head of the Southern Pacific Company’s po- litical bureau, announced that Dan Burns would receive the support of the corporation which he represents in his Senatorial candidacy, the Examiner threw its oft repeated pledge to its readers to the winds and lent its sup- port to Colonel Burns. The paper is now looked upon as Colonel Burns’ mouthpiece. Such as it is, it is about the only one that he has, for almost the entire Republican press of Cali- fornia has deno§nced his candidacy as a disgrace fo the State and a menace to the welfare of the people. The atti- tude of the Examiner in this respect is in strong contrast to the position taken by all of the other Democratic papers of the State, for almost without ex- ception they join with the Republican press in denouncing Burns' candidacy and demanding that legislators of whatever party or politics decline to vote for him. For the benefit of the people of the State who are not in touch with the kind of work that is being done in Burns' behalf it may be well to state OF AN was robbed last night of $18,162. being done to the vault. and High streets. silver was taken. bank’s janitor, who found the door deficiency and other banks in the The manner of entrance to the |=3=3=3e2eRuguReRuReuguguguFafayeFe] LIMA, Ohio, Dec. 26.—The American Natlonal Bank of this city The money was taken from the big vault.
