Especial 10 the Herald by Assocfdfcd Press.
SAN Francisco, January 26.-L g..
Wickersham, the Petaluma banker, came
TO the city this morning to confer with
the police authorities in regard to the
detection Of the murderer Of his nephew
and wife at their residence near Skaggs
Springs. From information received il
has been decided beyond doubt that the
murderer left for China Wednesday
morning. A cablegram will be sent to
Yokohama, and the murderer will prob
ably be arrested at that place. There
now remains no doubt as TO the China
man being the murderer, as he called at
wash.house at Cloverdale early Tues
day morning. where his uncle was en-
ployed, and when questioned as to the
cause of his appearance. told his uncle
he had killed the boss. This was told
by the uncle to another Chinaman, who
furnished statement to tho police here.
Aug Tin Duck Is the true name of the
murderer.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 26.-In the
habsas corpus case Of Wo Lee, arrested
for violation of the laundry ordinance.
which prohibits a laundry being carried
on in wooden building within the city
limits, United States Circuit Judge Saw
yer aud District Judge Sabin rendered
an opinion to-day. They hold that the
enforcement of the law would be little
short OF ooniisoation of large amount
OF property invested in lauDdries, and
though believing the ordinance as being
q ooatraven,ion OF the Fourteenth
Amendment Of the United States Con
stiiution, declined to declare it invalid,
Judge Sawyer said he preferred that the
matter be carried to the Supreme Court
Of the United States on appeal, which
will probably be done. The writ was
released and the prisoner ordered in
custody again.

CosditiOn Of the Crops.

There can be no doubt that the cot
ton crop has been seriously damaged
bv the continued rains. In ride OF
nineteen miles west we noticed fields
that looked past redemption, so foul
were they with grass and burs. II has
been impossible to Flow. In many
instances corn wa laid by while wa
ter was in the burrows, though il will
not suffer on this account unless n
drouth prevails. As u general thing
the corn is good. Mr.. Marion 1lig-
don saws he has the finest crop OF corn
he has had for number Of years. but
that hi, cotton is u failurc-bcing
drowned. lie would pillow up his cot
ton and plant corn now. il the season
was not too far advanced. We talked
with good many farmers Saturday
and Sunday and the report was about
the same from cacll-that the cotton
was suffering and the outlook was
not bright; that the prospect for corn
was good now, which would be chan
ci by II protractcd drouth owing to so
much sap in the plant. This is about
the condition all over the county at
this writing though ten days OF dry
weather will enable many crops to be
saved that are now almost lost.
