SAN RAFAEL, May 12.—Mrs. Joseph Silvera, the wife of a prosperous dairy- man living near San Clemente, was at- tacked last evening by an unknown man, for whom the authorities are now diligently searching. The unfortunate woman was seriously injured and will | not recover from the effects of her rough treatment for many days. Early in the evening a stranger walked into the house and asked for something to eat. He was well dressed and at first his appearance aroused no apprehension. As soon as he had fin- ished eating he arose and demanded that Mrs. Silvera produce all the money and jewels on the premises. A refusal infuriated the ruffian, who sprang upon Mrs. Silvera and choked her. She was then dragged out the front door and hurled from the porch to the ground. Despite her bruises, the plucky woman ran back into the house after her as- sailant, who was opening the drawers of a bureau. With an oath he struck CHARLESTON, S.

The in- The | dignation aroused by the assault and adoption of this resolution and the re- | attempted robbery is so strong that if port that accompanied it precipitated a debate which verged upon the sensa- tional, and at tim much confusion and disorder prevailed. General Stephen D. Lee presented the report of the committee on history, which was unanimously adopted. This was one of the most important matters before the convention and the reading of the report was listened to with close attention. The report alluded to the war with Spain as a factor in eradicat- ing the shadows of the war between the States. It refers to the prompt response of the Southern States to the call for troops as showing to the whole country the depth and fervor of South- ern patriotism. Continuing the report President McKinley displayed the spirit of the American soldier when he chose from his former foes the gallant Wheeler, the steadfast Fitzhugh Lee. the chivalrous Butler and many others of our brave comrades, to marshal the hosts of the Unlon. We are glad General Wheeler had another opportunity to exhibit the fighting qualities of the Confederate sol- diers and that Lieutenant Hobson, Lieu- tenant Bl and Ensign Worth Bagley in the navy showed the country of what stuff our young men are made. Once more the blood of the North and the South has been poured out together—no longer be- andards in the bitter- n the States, but now ness of war betwe beneath one flag, to the glory of the countr These dead, at least, belong to us all. The last bhateful memory that could divide our country is buried with them. About their graves kneels a new nation, loving all her children everywhere the same. Alluding to the question of Confed- erate graves the report says: The recent generous words of President McKinley commend the Confederate dead to the nation’s care, are the expr sions of a sentiment growing everywhere that the deeds of fhe Confederate aoilise are the glory of the whole country, that his memoryis worthyto be cherished wherever sel crifice commands sym- pathy or brave actions strike a respon- sive chord in noble hearts. The committee also alludes to. the race question and expresses the opinion that the ‘‘race problem is not apt in the future to be so blinding to a true apprehension of Southern history,” and says: “The recent movement to put the supremacy of the more educated and capable race upon a constitutional and legal basis, thus banishing the specter of misrule from our borders, is steadily gaining progress.” Continuing the re- port say: The reception given our benevolent in- tentions In the Philippines is certainly of a character likely to inspire a wholesome respect. We are not likely in the future to hear so much about the right of men who have not yet learned to govern them- | selves to govern others by their votes. The doctrine of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov- erned, had something of a shock in the war between the States, and the island subjects of the United States will find lit- tle comfort in reading that celebrated in- strument by the light of subsequent his- tory. The difficulties of the race prob- lem abroad ought to bring a charitable judgment of the same thing here at home, and we may reasonably expect our North- ern brethren to meet us hereafter rather in a spirit of inquiry than of rebuke. The convention adjourned sine die at 2:15 p. m. Td-night at the Auditorium a grand reception to the veterans was held and an address was delivered by Calonel Henry L. Turner of Chicago, command- ing the First Illinois Regiment. Colonel Turner has been the guest of the city during the reunion. A brilliant ball was given to the sponsors, maids of honor and daughters of the’ Confed- eracy. The veterans and visitors are rapldly departing. JUST SAVE)}' HIMSELF. David Jacks Owes His Life to His Presence of Mind. MONTEREY, May 12—The Monterey capitalist, David Jacks, narrowly escaped death at Salinas while trying to board the detached caboose of a freight train to-day. He found the steps of the caboose too high for bim to reach from the ground and began climbing over the bumper on the front end of the caboose. Just then the train backed some dlscgnnected cars down_ to the cabocse, ahd he would have been crushed to atoms only he real- ized his dangerous position and threw hl{nsell backward off the track. He fell on the ground just as the train came together. He suffered no injurles beyond a few bruises, and is now quite recoverea from the shock. Ordered to the Grant.

EAGER TO LEAVE KOTZEBUE SOUND e Sad Experience of Gold Seekers. e SKAGUAY, May 5 (via Seattle, May 12.)—Fah Fysh and W. Williams reached Dawson on April 15 on foot from Kotzebue Sound. Fysh and Wil- liams formed two of a party of eight- een who left Iowa last summer and joined the big rush which landed 2000 people on the various rivers of Kotze- bue Sound. The party established win- ter guarters 300 miles up the Kowak River. After untold hardships and la- bor, they decided that there was no gold in the country. On February 19 Fysh and Williams struck out over the divide to Koyukuk, thence to Dawson, a distance of 1500 miles. Mr. Fysh reports that Kotzebue Sound is thickly peopled with an intelli- gent race of Indians closely resembling the Japanese in habits and physique. The principal diet heretofore has been dried salmon, but the abundance of white man’s food last summer was the cause of laying away less than half a crop of salmon. The result this winter was that the illy nourished natives have been dying off like sheep. He says the opening of the Bering Sea will see the exodus of the last white man and only a scattering of cabins will mark the scene of one of the most disastrous gold hunting expeditions since Cortes landed on the coast of Florida. ‘W. L Siegel, a United States mall car- rier, arrived from Dawson to-day with 165 pounds of mail matter from points on the American side of the Yukon, commencing at St. Michael. Captain Wallace Langley returned from Victoria to-day with a grant for the construction of the Atlin Short Line Railway' and Navigation Com- pany, a narrow gauge road of two and a quarter miles to connect steamboat navigation between Lake Bennett and Atlin. Thomas_C. Bennett, purser of the steamer Nora, who killed James Cowie at White Horse Raplds last August, has been acquitted of the charge of murder. John Nelson of San Diego, Cal., died at Dawson from scurvy on April 13. E. D. Stratford, special agent of the United States Land Office, is here to make a selection of sites for a public building. From here he goes to Sitka. The Skaguay Chamber of Commerce last night sent official invitations to President McKinley, the Secretary of the Interior and the American members of the High Joint Commission to visit Skaguay this summer to study the boundary question and the need of some sort of self-government. Norman Rant, ex-Gold Commissioner of the Atlin district, who arrived from Victoria to-day, brings an order from Minister of Mines Humes to the effect that the opening of the mining season is to be extended from June 1 to July 1. He also brings word that Humes would come up before the end of the month with a commission of arbitration, be- fore which all controversies' about ownership of claims in Atlin district are to be settled. VOTING MACHINE TO BE TESTED AT STOCKTON STOCKTON, May 12—The Ellis voting machine is to have a practical test at the municipal election to be held here next Tuesday. With the consent of the offi- cers one of the machines will be set up in the gollln%vpluce of the First Precinct of the First Ward. As soon as the voter has deposited his ballot he will be asked to step to the machine and vote his ticket again upon it. A man. competent to_ex- plain its workings will be on hand and an effort will be made to get in a full vote in order to ascertain how it will tally with the results of the regular count in that precinct.

SANTA BARBARA, May 12.—The Southern Pacific coast line right of way through the great Hollister estate, that is one obstacle responsible for the em- bargo that C. P. Huntington threatens to put on railroad building, hinges on the willingness of the railroad people to pay $4400 to construct an archway over a roadway on the Santa Anita ranch. J. T. Richards, attorney and trustee of the estate, in a written state- ment says the Southern Pacific has been given twenty-five miles of right | of way over the ranch on condition that it will build this archway to enable pas- sage from one side of the road to the other. There will be a deep fill, prob- ably forty feet, near the ranch house, | and it is under this that the arch is | wanted. The railroad people have re- | fused flatly to build the arch, but fall back on the Santa Barbara County right of way committee to settle the dispute and give them free passage through the county, the Hollister es- tate included. 'Members of the Hollis- | ter family declare they will not yield to the demands of Huntington, as the damage to the property will be far greater than the cost of building the arch, and twenty-five miles of right of | way over the lands is estimated to be | worth $10,000, which they have agreed to give. In answer to the Morning Press tele- to C. P. Huntington, asking ther or not the report was true that wh | message was received late this even- ing: Morning Press, truth in the report. (o7 Santa Barbara: No P. HUNTINGTON. The Southern Pacific Company, al- though threatening to discontinue the work of construction, has had almost a full force at work all day. The com- | ports that it is due to the actions of Louis G. Dreyfus and the Hollister es- | tate that Huntington is about to sus- pend work. They to-day made public the Dreyfus letter to their contractors and give it out that unless Dreyfus came to their terms the road would stop at his property three miles north- west of Ellwood. Dreyfus’ letter reads: You are hereby cautioned against tres- passing on my property, the Eagle Can- yon rancho, and you are notified not to enter thereon. The Southern Pacific Company nor any other company has no right of way across the said property, where the surveyors of said compan have surveved & route for a railroad bed, You are also notified not to cross any of the said lands, unless proper authority be obtained from me, nor to attach your stock_to any fencing on the premises, nor to camp on any part of the property, or on the county road crossing the said property, which road is my property, ex- used by the general public. If you dis- regard this notice you are notifled that you will be held responsible for all dam- ages. This letter was forwarded to railroad headquarters on May 8§, and immediate- 1y letters came from Huntington to ths right of way committee here. Dreyfus’ action has been the sole topic of con- versation on the streets to-day amd sev- eral attempts to hold an indignation | meeting have been made, although not successful. This evening Dreyfus, when seen by The Call correspondent, again denied that he had in any way hindered the company. He said its at- torney called on him several weeks ago in regard to the right of way through his property and he gave his terms, which have all been ignored by the company. He has received no com- munication from the rallroad officials up- to this time. Public opinion is against Dreyfus, but at the same time it considers that Huntington is attempting a big bluff on the people. GARDNER AND FLAHERTY FIGHT TO A DRAW the Though Badly Handicapped, “Omaha Kid” Makes the Bet- ter Showing. NEW YORK, May 12.—Oscar Gardner, the “Omaha Kid,” and Martin Flaherty of Lowell, Mass., fought a 25-round draw at the New Broadway Athletic Club to- night in_ the presence of a crowd that packed the auditorium and held overflow meetings in the aisles and entries. It was an unsatisfactory fight from the stand- point of the spectators, for there was a sameness about the tactics of the men throughout and flashes of brilliancy were infrequent. Gardner was the cleverer man of the two and outboxed his oppo- nent at every stage of the game. He was handicapped, however, in that he had an unhealed cut over his left eye and came into the ring with a big bandage around his head. In action the bandage slipped down and until he took it off he was at times playing blindman’s buff. Later in the contest the cut was reopened and bled so freely that his left eye was at times blinded. He also seemed to show the ef- fect of too much fighting of late, for he lacked the dash and vim that have brought him €0 many victories. Flaherty had the advantage of height, weight and reach and made the pace in most of the rounds, but his work was in- effective. He constantly over-reached and looked wild alongside of the little man, who was generally inside his punches or under them. He displayed a very dan- 5erous left hand, but lacked judgment of istance to make it useful. CLOSING ARGUMENTS IN MURDOCK CASE Lawyer Cannon Reviews the Evidence Sustaining Plaintiff’s Contention. WILLOWS, May 12.—Argument in the Murdock note case commenced this morn- ing, Attorney W. M. Cannon making the opening statement to the jury. He said that the strongest three points claimed b{ the plaintiff were the glrecl evidence of Mrs. Murdock, who saw the note signed; the two declarations by William Murdock that the note was genuine, and the evidence of those who saw the note rior to 1890, the year in which the de- ense claims it was forged. Cannon was particularly bitter toward Expert Carl Eisenschimel, who, he sald, when engaged by him to examine the questioned signatures, went straightway to the attorneys for the other side, re- turning later and saying he believed the signature was a forgery.

Everyone Who Has Used Paing’s Celery Compound Praises I, Every nervous person drags down the| health of the other members of the fam- fly—nervousness is contagious. This season of the year finds women | tired beyond belief. | Their nerves have suffered” They are | neither good company for themselves nor { for their friends. | Those who are wise are taking the most | responsible of all spring remedies, are get- ting back their nervous vigor, their proper ‘weight, and healthy color. Following the | advice of eminent physicians everywhere, they are taking Paine’s celery compound. “We are never without Paine's cele: compound in our home,” says Mrs. Robert | Osborn, who figures, more prominently, | perhaps, than any other woman in the social world of New York City to-day. | “We believe it to be the most wonderful nerve invigorator obtainable. I especially recommend it to society women, fatigued by the many demands of the social sea- | son just closed, and to tired and nervous | professional men and women who have yet many weeks of labor before their va- | cations. I am convinced that Paine’s cel- | ery compound is by far the best spring remedy a hard-working person can take.” Mrs. Osborn has always been distin- guished in society for the beauiy of her costumes. No one knows the opinions and habits of women of ample means and op- portunities better than she. She says that her friends who always insist on having the best, will have nothing to do with any remedy but Paine's celery compound. And this is not surprising when one stops to consider the thousands of letters that are constantly being received by the proprie- | tors of this great remedy, and by news- | papers and medical journals, as well as from men and women in every walk of life, all telling one experience; the imme- diate relief and perfect cure effected by it. Th best phy ians openly indorse and recommend Paine’s celery compound, authorizing the public use of their state- ments that Paine’s celery compound, in case after case, cures rheumatism and kindred diseases, purifies the blood, regu- ates the stomach, liver, bowels and kid- and rejuvenates the fagged-out or ed nervous system when everything n disea e TONS OF CHLORATE RENT THE AIR e e Fearful Explosion at St. | Helens, England. e Special Dispatch to The Call.
