SAN JOSE, May 9.—The investigation of the charges of extortion and blackmail Mackenzie and his colleagues before the Council this evening was not without | comedy features. After three and a haif hours’ deliberation the accused was found | not guilty of the fourth charge. This was | the one wherein Henry E. Miller accused Mackenzie of using his official position to | take city work and contracts to a foun- dry which he was alleged to have owned. The chamber was crowded and many were unable to gain admittance. It was a Mackenzie crowd, and it applauded | every move in favor of the Commission- | er. The Council decided to pass the first three charges—these alleging the assess- ing of firemen for political purposes. which implicated John D. Mackenzie, the | collecting of ‘“‘protection” money from gamblers and the extortion of theater | passes—and take up the last one. At the | opening of the meeting a communication | was read_from forty-eight members of | the Fire Department, declaring they had | never paid any money to the Chief of the | department or others for political or oti purposes under threats of expulsion. Miller and his counsel were caught nap- | ning and had no prepared testimony bea ing upon the first charge taken u | Attorney Firebaugh, and several sharp | altercations occurred between him and Attorney Cothran. Attorney Firebaugh | then sought to introduce evidence by | calling William F. Tennant, a fireman. It | was only through Tennant's quick an- swers that anything was elicited. He! said he had paid a political assessment, | but he got no further, as his testimony was obiected to. | After much wrangling Firebaugh called | Andrew S. Mackenzie. Attorney Cothran refused to allow his client to take the stand for the prosecution, and City At-| torney Patridge decided that Mackenzie | could not be compelled to testify. Miller's | attorneys then offered to waive the | charge that Mackenzie had thrown city | work to his alleged foundry and proceedi with the others, but the Council refused | to accede to this. - | Attorney Cothran produced a court rec- iord showing that, although Mackenzie | had inherited the foundry from his mother’s estate, he had transferred it to his sister. This went on record. | The Council took a $hort recess, after which it brought in a verdict finding An- | drew S. Mackenzie not guilty of the charge, and that he did not own the[ foundry. An adjournment was day night, when the Council will take up the charge of extorting theater passes from C. P. Hall.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NAPA, May 9.—Oathill mine, twelve miles from Calistoga, was the scene of a brutal murder last night. Charles ]":\'l-1 glehardt, a German, was stabbed through | the heart with a miner's candlestick by | a fellow laborer. Deputy Sherift John | Walters, foreman at the mine, brought the news to Napa this morning at 7 o'clock, having come from Calistoga to notify Sheriff Dunlap of the tragedy. Joe | Perferino and A. Franchinetti are under arrest at the mine. Antonio Tavano, a third suspect, made his escape and up | to this morning the officers here had | not been notified by Sheriff Dunlap of | his capture.. Englehardt was attacked | by all three and it is not known which man did the killing, though suspicion points to Tavano. Tavano went to Englehardt’s bunkhouse last night with Franchinetti and Per- ferino and attacked Englehardt. A few minutes later the fighters adjourned to the outside. There Englehardt was knocked down and his three assailants began pounding him. It was during this scrimmage that one of the three men stabbed the prostrate man. During_ the quarrel in the bunkheuse Tavano had drawn a caseknife and was about to plunge it into Englehardt’'s back, when he was persuaded not to do so by Perferino. The latter, in his cell to-night, claimed he also acted as peacemaker on | the outside. ‘When the news of the murder was re- celved Deputy Sheriff Walters was not | long in capturing Perferino and Fran- chinettl. He then started in pursuit of Tavano. Tavano's caseknife was found on his bed, but the miner’s candlestick with which the murder had been committed had disappeared. Tavano took his pis- tol with him and has fled to the moun- :ah;li Bloodhounds will be put on his rail. All of the men involved in the tragedy came to the mine but recently. Tavano arrived in March from San Francisco. He 1s about 30 years of age. Englehardt was unarmed when he was attacked. Sixth Regiment Encampment.

TALLY-HO DASHES DOWN MOUNTAIN Runaway Disaster Ends Outing of Eastern Sightseers. . Special Dispatch to The Call. REDLANDS, May 9.—A serious acel« dent occurred here this afterncen on England Heights, one of the show places of Redlands. A party of Galveston peo- ple were taking a drive over Smiley and England Heights in a tally-ho, when a brake broke and the four horses started on a wild race down the mountainside. Coming into Cajon street, the main thor- oughfore of Redlands, a mile above tiwn, at a sharp turn in the road the tally-ho struck the street railroad track and over- turned. The lead horses broke loose and ran Into town. Help soon was at hand and released the people from under the coach. Doctors were summoned and the injured carried into neighboring houses. All were more or less injured, Including nine women, two men and the driver of the coach. All the party were from Gal- veston, Texas, save three from Philadel- phia. The more seriously injured are: Mrs. Koppern of Galveston, thigh bro- ken and ankle crushed; limb will be am- putated; may die. . Mrs. Ballinger of Galveston, bruised and cut; not serlouallg. Miss Jones of Galveston, bad cat over the eyes. Mrs. Schrimp of Philadelphia, badly bruised. Miss .Crawford of Philadelphia, severely cut and bruised. Mrs. Jewell of Philadelphia, arm broken in two places. Mrs. ¥. F. Hibberd of Redlands, skull crushed; will probably die. Five others are under the care of a physielan, who refuses to allow them to be seen, and they absolutely refuse to give their names, as they do not desire to alarm relatives in the East. After the vehicle had overturned the four horses broke loose and made a tic run down the main drive thoroughfare, They collided with and upset a carriage in which Mrs. Hibberd was driving. She was violently thrown to the curbing, striking on her head. All of the Injured were delegates to the biennial convention of women's clubs in Los Angeles. Captures a Baby Seal. MONTEREY, May 9—M.
