The feeling is general throughout
California that the Prison Commissioners
have made asses OF themselves by their
il.humored and brutal letter to the Gov.
ernor. In the reconstruction Of the San
Quentin Penitentiary, which will short
ly follow the installation of the new
Commissioners, there will undoubt-
edly be developed conclusive evi.
dencc Of the corruption of the
late regime. Gov. Stoneman, by
nominating the Messrs. Scott and
Hill, both Republicans, as Commission
ers in place of the deposed Republicans,
gave an ample guarantee that he did
not desire to introduce proscriptive
Democratic management of that insti-
tuition. The declination Of the trust by
these gentlemen releases the Governor
from all restraints Of delicacy. There is
no reason whatever why he should not
at once nominate two reliable Democrats
to the vacant positions, He has, in this
instance at least, acquitted himself Of
the obligations of the old motto, noblesse
obiige. San Quentin, which has hither-
to been run upon tho loosest principles,
needs an energetic honest and reliable
administration. The Messrs. Hill and
Scott would probably, if they had ac-
cepted the trust rendered to them, have
contributed to such an administration.
As they have other uses for their time
and abilities, the Governor would do
well to heed the hint thus given him by
the Republican party and concentrate
his iavorupon Democrats who are equally
worthy.

lr we may trust to Dame Rumor there
is to bc still another Democratic daily
paper in San Francisco. Thus the
promise is for three altogether, viz, the
Examiner, the Alta California, under
the management Of ex-Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor James johnson, and still another
newspaper, which is to BIO under the
control OF the late editor of the San Jose
Times. In view Of the fact that ii is m
open secret that, for n long time past,
the Examiner itself has not made
money, ii seems to us that there is grave
danger that the field may be over
crowded. Weindulge the hope that the
aim Of these gentlemen is not to rake in
the vulgar ''rascal counters" of lagos
small talk.

An Engine Run by Water-Gas.
Hartford Times.l


The novel locomotive that will be run
over the Valley Road for awhile, without
a pound of coal going into her ire-box,
made the run from New Haven to-day to
the repair shops OF the Consolidated
Road in this city. This afternoon the
inventor of this new process of making
steam, DIR. Holland, of New York, ex-
hibited the engine to the engineers in the
yards and other parties interested.
The locomotive is the first and only
one of its kind ever built twas put up
about year ago in the Grand Locomo-
tive Works at Paterson, N. J. 1t is a
handsome engine of the same grade as
the ones used for fast passenger service
on the New Haven Road, and weighs
thirty-four tons. 1t differs from these
only in the construction of the fire pot
and boiler. Water-gas furnishes the
means of locomotion instead of coal.
There are four retorts in the fre.box,
two each for oil and water. The CRATE
contains sos gas jets. When the engine
is first started the gas is made from the
cold water in the retort, but when the
guage registers from twenty to thirty
pounds OF steam, the water is shut off
and the steam is taken from the boiler.
This saves heating the water twice.
Even if the fire goes out the engine will
run right along for some little time.
Once, when they were running it ON the
Erie road, the engineer put out the fire,
ran some little distance, and lit it again
without decreasing the speed of the
train frhfg Of tha a,.ri,,.
run into the roundhouse without par
ticle of fire in the fire-box.
The inventor says that by connecting
a pipewith one of the 55S gas Jets in the
fire.box he can amply light the cars in
the entire train, and by connecting
another pipe with another jet he can
give brilliant headlight to the locomo-
tive. A good illuminating gas can be
carried right through the train, which,
in case of accident, can instantly be shut
off by turning valve, doing away with
danger Of fire.
1t is claimed that one Of these engines
tear than the coal-consuming locomotive
and more economically. They require
no back pressure of steam to force the
fires, and this would do away with the
flying cinders that make every open
window in the train nuisance. The
improved CRATE can be put in any of the
fire locomotives now in use on the road
at the cost of few hundred dollars.
The tender is provided with tank
capable of carrying about 900 gallons OF
oil. As there is no coal, of course every.
thing looks clean and attractive. The
wear and tear OF the boiler is said to be
trifling, as the fire is entirely free from
the destructive sulphurous acid that
does SO much damage in coal.burning

use on the Erie Road about q

DR.. Haley communicated to the Aus
tralian Medical Journal the interesting
fact that for some years past he has
found medium doses of iodide Of potas-
stun of greatservice in frontal headache;
that is, a heavy, dull headache, situated
over the brow, and accompanied by Ian
guor. chilliness and feeling of general
discomfort, with distaste for food which
sometimes approaches to nausea, can be
completely removed by a two-grain dose
dissolved in half wine-glass Of water,
and this quietly slipped, the whole guam
tity being taken in about ten minutes.
In many cases, he adds, the effect of
these small doses has been simply won-
derful--as for instance, person who a

most miserable, and refused all food,
wishing only for quietness, would now
take good meal and resume his wonted

What was Seen on the Occasion of a

''He is. signor, and the trait runs in

"Thank you" l replied, handing
Lucius lire for being so truthful.
Our guide next conducted us to the
Roman Museum, where we viewed the
curiosities so well known in history, but
only observable to few, Lucius Junius
pointed out large glass case containing
a flock OF seven stuffed geese, headed
by solemn looking gander.
"And pray, what does all this mean,
Luoius?" asked of our guide.
"These, signor are what saved the
city"

THE great quest in Los Angeles yes
terday, both with man and beast, was
for oxygen. 1t was around in great
abundance, but it was SO highly raroied
that the dogs had to hang out their

tated the dogs, opened their mouths and
extended their tongues. All of which

CEgrAIsLy the present year has been
peculiar in the extreme. During the
past Summer we have had episodes of
hot weather which have been absolutely
without precedent. Yesterday the
cap sheaf was put upon memorable
series of meteorological eocentricities
by q scale of temperature which would
absolutely shame the tropics. While
the mercury here did not attain to the
phenomenal figures which it sometimes
registers in Arizona, the effect was
quite as marked, because our people
have not been used TO such freaks of the
Weather Clerk. The probability is that
the current visitation will not be an en-.
during one, 1t is the last development
of season without parallel. The inn
minent probability is that such tre-
mendous amount of evaporation, which
will find condensers in the cold air of our
mountains, and in the cold weather
which will succeed the hot spell, will
result in, early and heavy winter rains,

AiIitch iu SWIVEL Serviee-Help
for the destitute ON Pensacola
Reservation.

WAsHINGToN, Sept 2l.--Secretary
Folger, has raised an important ques-
tion in regard to the operation of the
new civil service law, which he states
in letter addressed by him to the Com
missioners to-day. A few days ago he
made requisitiou- on the Commission
for person to fila 5000 dollar clerkship
aud the Commission yesterday certified
to him the names the four persons from
which to make his selection, The Sec
retary finds himself in doubt us to
whether he can make his selection from
the four names. He says in his letter
to the Commission that the section OF
the law governing appointments, gives
preference, other things being equal, to
honorably discharged soldiers and sailors
of the late war and that section 7, of
the civil service act, provides that
nothing contained in that act shall be
construed to take away the preference
given in section l754 to that class of
persons and asks for further informa-
ton on the subject. His opinion is that
one of the persons sent to him is an hon
orably discharged sailor and he must
select that one.
Collector Tarble, of Pensacola, had
another interview with the Secretary OF
the Navy to-day relative to the furnish
ing rations to the destitute on the Naval
Reservation. The result of the inter-
view is that the Secretary of the Navy
is disposed to take the responsibility of
issuing additional rations to destitute
families upon the reservation to limit
ed extent but expects some help to be
given by the inhabitants.
