He told these gentlemen that the parties who red to furnish the beef A a pro- cess which they sald would enable them ver meat which would keep sound and fresh for seventy-two hours after delivery from the refrigerator. The day after the bids were opened attorneys in Washington addressed a communication to the Secretary of War, making the ar- &ument that notwithstanding their clients’ bid was somewhat higher than the others, that they ought to be award- «d the contract because of their ability perform their contract by means of Powell process for the preservation meat, which they controlled and which had been satisfactorily tested under the uspices of the Government.

Before the enactment of the State mining law, which was re- pealed by the last Legislature, Waldo | Elmore was District Recorder of the Flat Creek district, and when the State law was enacted he turned over all the records in his possession to the County Recorder. A short time ago he filed a demand on the County Re- corder for a return of the records of his district. County Recorder Lowdon consulted Superior Judge Sweeny, with | the result that Elmore was instructed to apply to the Board of Supervisors, as the records which he desired re- turned had become county property. | To-day the board acted favorably on Elmore’s demand. This action is re: garded as strictly within the law, es tablishing a precedent that must be | followed in all-like cases in this county | There is a diversity of opin- | °t. It is argued that | the turning back of the records to Dis- | trict Recorders will in many cases re- suit in chaos with mining titles, while on the other hand it is asserted that a claim not worth patenting is amply | protected until such time as its worth or unworth may be proved by develop- | ment work. The Flat Creek district is the only one so far amected by the| order of the Supervisors. | The Board of Supervisors to-day acted favorably on the proposition to span the Sacramento River at the mouth of Spring Creek with a steel wagor bridge. The bridze was pet tioned for by the residents of Keswick | and the Old Diggings district. It will | facilitate the transportation of flux | ores to the smelters and otherwise ac- commodate a great many people. | ASSAILANT OF MRS. GERLACH ON TRIAL SAN RAFAEL, May 10.—Frank Rey- nolds of San Anselmo was on trial before Justice Rodden this evening on a charge of disturbing the peace and using vulgar | tabl a language, preferred by Mrs. Anna Ger- lach of 1313 Golden Gate avenue, San | Francisco. The evidence showed that | Reynolds tried to kill Mrs. Gerlach with a knife and later shot at her and her daughter and a young man named Isadore Berthelot with a shotgun. Mrs. Gerlach is the widow of Dr. George Gerlach and at his death was willed a large estate, containing, among other parcels of property.”a House and lot in San Anselmo. This she deeded to John Reynolds, a clerk employed by Sanborn & Vail, With yne proviso that two rooms of the house &hould be reserved for her own use in the summer of each vear as long as she lived. Frank Reynolds, tie father, occupfed the house. Because Mrs, Gerlach would not give him money, ac- cording to the testimony, he forbade her to enter the house. She went there on Dewey day with her daughier Anna and | who is an employe of the Spring Valley Water Company, and was assaulted by Reynolds with a knife, Ber- thelot defended her and told the fright- ened women to flee while he held the in- furiated assailant. He then joined them, | but Reynolds foliowed them and dis- charged a_ shotgun their direction. Justice Rodden has taken the case un- der consideration and will render judg- ment next week. Mrs. Gerlach asserts that she will sue Reynolds for the prop- erty on the ground that the provisions of the deed of gift have been violated. Dies Laden With Years.

McGlade, ex-bookkeeper | in the Str Department, accused of | forging demands for salaries. The last witnesses for the people were excused | just before noon yesterday in Judge | Cook’s department of the Superior Court. | Patrick Reddy, attorney for the accused, granted the afternoon to fense in form, prom nesses through to-day. The first witness for the prosecution yesterday morning was Charles B. Trull, bookkeeper for Bier & Regensburger, the warrant brokers who cashed the bogus Street Department demands. Trull tes- tified that he was familiar with Mc- Glade's signature, and he identified it as the one attached to various orders of identification offered in evidence. On be- ing shown three of these orders, those bearing the names of C. Murphy, J. Tiern and J. Sullivan, he testified that he was in the office of Bier & Regensbur- ger when they were presented. Iurther on he said he had had conversations with McGlade concerning the warrants repre- sented by the orde On all three occa- sions, the witness said, McGlade had given him cash instead of warrants on the treasury. He thought this strange, as it had been McGlade’s custom to turn over warrants altogether. *On the 17th of August, 1888, continued Trull, in_answer to a question, “McGlade told me he had just collected the warrant of C. Murphy. that warrant in coin to me. J ready at that time.” On’ October 4, Trull said, McGlade paid him $100 for the warrant of J. Kelly. ‘““He asked me,” continued the witness, “to go outside into the corridor to count the money, as he did not want any of the men in the office to see me counting it.” It appeared from the cross-examination that McGlade's attorney was not enam- ored of the witness. He could not swerve the young bookkeeper from his original testimony, however, whereupon he moved to strike out part of Trull's evidence, and noted an exception to his tone of voice. “The court,” said Judge Cook, ‘‘can- not strike out the tone of voice of a wit- ness.” Mr. Reddy agreed with his Honor, and after calling the attention of the jury to what he considered offensive in Trull's tone he excused the bookkeeper. Joseph B.

Over three hundred pounds of small fish were secured as evidence. The Fish Commissioners were some dis- tance away from the Chinese, who were in two large junks, when they perceived them hauling in their nets.

The Chinese, with their boats, were taken to San Quentin and thence brought to this city by rail. Here charges were preferred again them' by Mathews in Justice Rodden’s court.

AL L CONVERTED TQ REVISION. NEW YORK, May 10.—A special cable to the Sun, dated London, May 11, says: The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says that the conversion of the Judges of the Court of Cassation to re- vision of the Dreyfus case has been rapid, and that a majority of ten is now in favor of revision. Prime Minister Dupuy now calls him- self a revisionist, but this will hardly save the Government. The Deputies are now angry at finding that they have been placed in a false position by being per- suaded to vote against the criminal chamber of the Court of Cassation and they show more ill-humor than before M. de Freycinet resigned the portfolio of the War Ministry. If the Cabinet is turned out by this ill-humor, M. Brisson will probably be requested to form a new Minissry. oAbl TO NOMINATE CARDINALS.
