Should any fire | ever gain the least headway at the present time the defenseless town would be doomed. — “MEXICAN MORPHY ‘ HELD FOR TRIAL Alleged Forger Denies That He De- | frauded the Bank in Which He ; ‘Was Employed. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 17.—Santiago Morphy, charged with being a fugitive from justice from the City of Mexico, where he is wanted, it is said, for hav- | ing procured from the National Bank | $70,000 by means of forged checks, was | given a preliminary hearing this even- | ing before Judge A. G. Brice. He was represented by Judge Henriques. Bail was fixed at $20,000, in default of which Morphy was remanded to jail. | Morphy made no attempt to con('eal1 | his identity, talking to reporters freely. | | He seemed astonished that he was | wanted for participation in the rob- | bery of the National Bank, in which | he held a clerical position up to the | time of leaving the country, ten months | | ago. He said he had made no secret | of his whereabouts at any time and | had been in constant communication | | with friends and relatives, and never | until his arrest last night had he had | | even a suspicion he was believed to | have had anything to do with the crime charged. He says he assumed the | name of George Murphy on the race | tracks as it would have ruined him in exico were it known he was following | the turf. He says the story that he lost any part of the stolen money in the Baldwin Hotel fire in San Francisco is untrue. —_—— FATALLY INFECTED 3 BY DISEASE BACILLI Dr. Guiseppe Bosso Falls a Sacrifice to His Dangerous Scientific Research. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The Journal has this from Rome: Dr. Giuseppe Bosso of Turin University died to-day from an in- fection contracted while cultivating the bacilli of various diseases in his labora- tor: Stei-gent -recautions have been taken by the municipal and university authori- ties to prevent further infegtion from the bacilli that may have escaped. There is great fear of another outbreak like that recently experienced in Vienna, when sev- | eral persons died from bubonic plague | | caused by careless cultivation of the | deadly bactli. | So far, no other cases have been report- | ed, but the physicians and nurses who at- | tended Dr. Bosso have been isolated. e | SAN JOSE'S POULTRY SHOW. | SAN JOSE, Jan. 17—All is in readiness for the opening of the annual poultry show of the Santa Clara Valley Poultry | and Kennel Club at Turn Verein Hall to- | morrow morning. Over 1200 birds are in | the coops, and the judging was completed | this afternoon. Fanciers say the show is the best ever held in the West. Almost | all sections of the Pacific Coast are rep- | resented by magnificent specimens of the varjous birds. Fowls of all colors, shapes and sizes, from the little bantams to the heavy cochins, are in evidence, and the cackiing of hens and crowing of cocks can be heard nearly a block away. The show will continue four days, begin- | ning to-morrow. The judging was done by Henry Berrar, and _exhibitors are pleased with results. The awarding of ribbons before the opening is an improve- | | ment_on the old plan, and patrons the first day can examine the best exhibits, A large number of fanciers from all over AGAIN BEHIND PRISON BARS Bakersfield Escape Recaptured. Is UNARMED WHEN TAKEN| PROMPT ACTION OF A DEPUTY SHERIFF. Gave Chase, Toox a Fresh Horse and Inside of Three Hours Had His Man. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 17.—Murderer Gleason, who walked out of jail on Sunday, s again behind the bars. He was captured at 6 o’'clock this evening six miles from here, at Bealville, a sta- tion on the Southern Pacific this side of Tehachapi. Deputy Sheriff T. W. Glover was the officer who made the capture. In less than three hours he had the prisoner in jail. Glover “got wind” that his man was in the neighborhood of Bealville. He got a fresh horse and reached the point in less than three hours. Much of the way he had no road and had to go through many fences. A few minutes after arriving at Bealville he had Gleason captured and handcuffed, and shortly afterward the northbound pas- | senger was boarded and they were | soon at the jail. Gleason was unarmed when captured. Several persons met Gleason during the day, and, strange to say, he told them who he was and how “slick” he had walked out of jail and the crime he was in for. He spent Sunday night in the town and then walked away up the raiflroad. When captured he had come in from the hills to get something to eat. AGED WOMAN DIES IN A SLEEPING CAR REGRS | Passing of Mrs. R. Richie While En | Route From Oakland to the Eas.. RENO, Nev., Jan. 17.—Just as the sec- ond section of the morning eastbound tiain pued Into this Stats an elderly lady, nemed Mrs. R.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN A SEATTLE HOTEL SEATTLE, Jan. 17.—Mrs. Hattie Curry, wife of J. M. Curry of San Fran- cisco, died from an overdose of morphine at the Hotel Stevens at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. She arrived here on January 4 from California. Dr. Sparling, the County Coroner, be- lieves now that she committed suiclde. Yesterday morning he was of the opinion that death was accidental. All those per- sons who knew Mrs. Curry and her habits are firmly of the opinion that her death was the result of a large dose of morphine taken to make her sleep. But Coroner Sparling is so strongly of the opinion at this time that Mrs. Curry swallowed the morphine with suicidal intent that he does not consider it necessary to hold an inquest. Mrs. Curry has been separated from her husband for some time. He owned a stone quarry at Yaquina Bay, Oregon, and for many years made considerable money, but since then he lost everything, for he telegraphed to the Coroner to-day that he could not bury the remains. Mrs. Curry had a few days ago received a letter from her husband, in which he told her of his financial troubles and said he could not take her back until she had corrected some of her bad habits. BONDING TIMBER CLATMS. Ninety Thousand Acres of Pine Lands Secured by a Syndicate. REDDING, Jan. 17.—A. D. Bartle, who is engaged in bonding timber claims in the McCloud River region for an Eastern syndicate, left this city Sunday evening for San Francisco to confer with finan- clal agents of the concern. It is stated on the best of authority that Mr. Bartle has successfully bonded 90,000 acres of pine lands, extending into the White Horse section of Modoc County. The com- pany which he represents has secured the contract of the branch raflroad put- ting out from the main line of the South- ern Pacific Company at Castle Crag sta- tion. The road was never completed by the Red Cross Lumber Company, which undertook the project. In the spring it will be thrown forward into the heart of the great timber reserve acquired by the Eastern company and an extensive lum- bering enterprise will be carried on. Timber claims have been bonded for sums varying from $1280 per quarter sec- tion downward, it being stipulated in the bonds that payments would be made by the middle of February. This practically untouched forest is said to be the finest | left in California. TO PAY A CHURCH DEBT. Generous Proposal Made by the Late Judge Belcher’s Widow. MARYSVILLE, Jan. 17. — During his lifetime the late Judge I. S. Belcher evinced a deep interest fa the welfare of the First Presbyterian Church of Marys- ville and often expressed a desire to aid in removing the debt on the church bufld- ing. Following his directions, made a short time previous to his death, his wid- ow has made an offer to the congrega- tion, which no doubt will be the means of spurring on every member of the church to bring about a release of Te property from the burdensome debt, at present amounting to 33000, For every §2 that the congregation will raise Mrs. Belcher proposes to donate $1. In other words, whenever the congrega- tion shall have raised $2000 toward paying the debt she will contribute $1000. S Sale of Copper Mines. REDDING, Jan. I7.—Articles of agree- ment have been filed with the County Re- corder whereby the ownership of two groups of copper mines on Backbone Creek will pass into the hands of a New York syndicate upon the payment of $130,- 000 for one firoup and $30,000 for the othe The deeds have been placed in escrow in the Bank of Northern California. The owners of the most extensive group are B. Golinsky, Fritz Weischmann and Mat- thew Clendenin. The owners of the mines sold for $30,000 are Eugenia J. Goss of San Francisco, C. G. Ferguson and James Fraser of this county. The intermediary is J. Park Channing of New York. A force of men will be put at work at once on both properties. It is believed that this is the forerunner of another great smelting plant for Shasta County. DEATH IN A BURNING HOUSE. Fate of a Couple Who Gained Notori- ety in San Francisco.

Congress Willl Be Asked to Appro- priate Fifty Thousand. A meeting of the board of directors’ of the Mechanics’ Institute was held last evening. During the meeting the prin- cipal business transacted was the adop- tion of a memorial, to be presented to Congress, urging that a subsidy of $50,000 be granted for the furtherance of the proposed Colonial Fair to be helds in this city. It is the piers of the institute to illustrate at the fair the resources of our newly acquired territory and other Oriental and Central American countries with which we have business relations, and it is proposed to lay the foundation of a commercial museum in San Francis- co by turning over the exhibits after the fair to the State Board of Trade or other responsible body. Other commercial and trade organizations have been invited to sign the memorial and many of them have already lgromlsed their_support. E. A. Denicke, J. P. Fraser and Rodney Kendrick were appointed by the chalr to serve as the representation from the Me- chanics’ Institute on the general commit- tee of the proposed Pacific Ocean Ex| sition, to be held in San Francisco in I Horace Wilson, George H. Wallis and P. J. Healy were named as a committee to meet the California Miners’ Association on the subject of the conservation of water. A resolution. will be presented to the members of Congress and the President from the Mechanics’ Institute urging that a cable be constructed between this coast and the Pacific possessions and that said cable be of American manufacture. —_———— TRIES TO IMPEACH ASHE. One of Denner;’s‘Henchmen Testifies to Intimidation on the Part of the Opposition. The Dennery-Ashe Senatorial contest was on the boards In Justice Groezin- ger's courtroom for a short time yester- day morning. Mike Dunn was placed on the stand to impeach Gaston Ashe. He testified that any intimidation in the Forty-second Dis- trict was done by Gaston Ashe and At- torney McPike, and not by the plug-uglies and shoulder-strikers who had been mak- ing Dennery’s fight throughout election day. \{'hen Mr. Ashe was on the stand he tes- tifled that it was as much as a man's life was worth to remain in a booth where Dennery’s followers were massed, as they would not hesitate to resort to force.

Despite the appearances of physical degenera which we have noted, the Jew betrays an absolutely unprecedented tenacity of life. It far exceeds, especially in the United States, that of any other known people. This we may illustrate by the following example: Suppose two groups of one hundred infants cach, one ewish, one of average American parent- age (Massachusetts), to be born on the esame day. In spite of the disparity of social conditions in favor of the latter, the chances, determined b; statistical means, are that one-half of the Ameri- cans will die within forty-seven years, while the first half of the Jews will not succumb to disease or accident before the expiration of seventy-one years. The death rate is really but littie over half that of the average American population. This holds good in infancy as in middle age. Lombroso has put it in another way. Of 1000 Jews born, 217 die before the age of 7 years, while 453 Christians— more than twice as many—are likely to die within the same period. This remark- able tenacity of life is well illustrated by a most sug%estl\'e article by Hoffman.— Professor. W. Z. Ripl in Appleton's Popular Science ———— Omdurman and Pumping Lead. The fire of our soldiers in the recent l;romier war in India has been very good, and all the officers who had been at Om- urman agreed that our long-range rifle fire there has been exceptionally accurate. “If I were to describe the effect,” sald Lord Wolseley, “‘of the volley firing, I would say that from the moment the enemy’s line, an immense line virtually and literally’ pumped lead upon came within the zone of fire of 2000 vards, up to the time when they ceased fo advance, because they were knocked down and killed by the hundreds and thousands— our line virtually and _literally pumped lead into them. The fire was so heavy, that no one could live under it.” This is quite true; disciplined volleys are a_tre- menddus weapon both of offense and de- fense; but individual markmanship is also of great importance, as doubtless Lord Wolseley would be the first to admit. Nothing so much depresses an enemy awaiting an attack in partial shelter as the knowledege that the instant a man ex- poses himseif he will get a bullet crashing through his brain. e Baltimore Church Property. Mr. Harry S. Raynor, Assessor at Large for the Appeal Tax Court, has submitted to the court his report of ex emptions of church property in the city as follows: Methodist Episcopal, $1,767.- 000; Baptist, $700,000; Methodist Protestant, | $200,0v..
