The Olive street Line.

EDITORS HERALD: As patron of the
Olive street two-horse car line, would
like to know whether the company runs
that road to accommodate the. public, or
whether it is run in the sole interests of
the stockholders. If the latter, the
sooner the city takes away its franchise
the better, as the peoples rights are en-
tirely ignored by this company. My un-
fortunate experience with the above
company is, that in taking one of their
cars on several occasions on Washington
street between and 8 80 O'Clock p. 81.
the car would take me as far as the
Twelfth-street barn. Here ladies and
gentlemen, sometimes with children.
would be told to get out Of this car, as it
goes no further. Then l would have to
wait there in the street for one hour for
the next car, which will take one as far
as the Pavilion, and there he will have to
wait till the show is out, which means
another wait Of half an hour
or walk home. After taking ones
fare he is hauled one-half of the
way, and told to take his choice OF stand
ing out in one street for an hour and a
half with his family, or walk home, a
distance of from two to three miles. This
street railroad company would be dis
grace to any country town on account OF
the manner in which it is operated.

THE SUMMING UP.
Probabilities of Blatne,s NOmina-
tlOn-AlmOst Assured.


At midnight dozens OF conferences are
being held, but little will be known con-
corning the results before the Convention
meets in the morning.
Much Of the success OF the Harrison
movement depends largely upon the po-
sition Senator Quay takes, and his ability
to carry votes from Pennsylvania with
him. Most of the Pennsylvania delegates
are Blaine men, and as the distinctively
Blaine States have for the fret time
shS p. their hands boldly, by their
opposnaen. to the Harrison combination,
the conviction is current that Harrison
will not be nominated.
The Ohio delegates had meeting to-
night and decided to standl for Sherman
until every member OF the delegation de-
mands poll. This means that while
the State is now unit for Sherman, in
dividual preferences may be exercised at
any time.
Doubtless votes will be cast for both
Larabee and Mckinley tomorrow, with
much the better chance Of attracting at
tention to the latter. who is singularly
popular and who is much talked abb
as dark horse.
A summing up Of the situation is that
Harrison has about an even chance to
win. If Pennsylvania does not come to
his assistance, and the Sherman strength
of the South holds aloof, he will be de-
feated in few ballots. Then Allison is
to be taken up, and il he cannot win, the
nomination of Blaine may be expected,
probably after conference with repre-
sentatives Of the candidates. There are
renewed rumors OF unauthorized ex-
pressions from Blaine Of his willingness
to accept. Unless Harrison should be
nominated tomorrow morning, the Con-
vention will probably rest till Monday.
Every delay increases the probability OF
Blaine's nomination.

The Graham Trial.

SANTA Cruz, June 22.-In the Graham
murder trial to-day, most OF the time was
taken up by the attorneys contesting the
admissbility as evidence, of trunk
from which money was taken by Mrs.
McCusker, then Mrs. Graham, Benefits
sister, in April, 1850, just before she de-
serted her husband. The trunk was in
troduced and Mrs. McCusker showed
how she broke the bottom and took out
the money. A letter purporting to be
written by Mrs. McCusker, confessing
conspiracy and many material points
that she denies in her testimony, was
introduced, but not read before adjourn
ment. The prosecution will introduce
testimony in rebuttal to show that the
letter is not in the handwriting of Mrs.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, June 22.-The Supreme
Court affirmed the decision Of the lower
court in the case of Hollister vs. Cordero.
January 8, 1864, G. w. Corless and his
wife Lucretia were murdered in their
house on Los Cruces ranch, Santa Bar
bara county. and the house set on fire.
The plaintiffs brought suit to have the
property Of the deceased partitioned, as
it was the community property OF the
deceased. The rights of the parties to
the suit depend upon who Of the deceased
was first to die. The plaintiffs claimed
that the wife survived the hus-
band, and thus, under the law, in
herited one-half Of the property
The court below, however, found
that the husband survived the wife, and
gave judgment for the defendants. The
plaintiffs claimed that the evidence
showed that the husband was first killed
and that the wife was then pursued,
killed and dragged into the house, which
was afterwards set on fire. The Supreme
Court, on the contrary, is Of the opinion
that there is not sufficient evidence to
determine which Of the two died first,
but affirmed the decision already rem
dered in favor Of the defendants. Under
that section OF the code which states that
where two persons Of different sexes
perish under such circumstances that it
cannot be determined which died first,
the male shall be presumed to have sur
vived the longest.

Nicaragua Canal Construction
Company.

DENVER, June 22.-The stockholders
OF the Nicaragua Canal Construction
Company held their annual meeting in
this city last evening. 1t was decided
not to wait longer for Congress to grant
the company charter. but to incorpo-
rate Immediately under the laws Of Col
orado. This conclusion was reached
for the reason that under the Colorado
law the company would have greater
scope under which to work than they
could expect from the Government. The
reports received from the engineers fix
the cost OF the canal at $50, 100000. The
company has decided to double this
amount in order to cover all the incidental
expenses and incorporate with capital
of 800, ,0O0, 900. Work will be begun the
1st Of September. Following is the Board
of Directors elected: Francis A. Stout,
Hiram Hitchcock. Frederick Billings, j.
f. OShaughnessy, Chas. P. DAILY, Hor-
ace L. Hotchkiss, j. w. Miller, III. G.
Taylor, @. Ridgely Goodwin, A. T. Ma
rion, Allen F. Hedges, R. A. Lancaster,
A. A. Cheney, all Of New Yrok. The
officers are: President, Francis A. Stout,
of New York. Vice President, II. g.

retary, j. W. Miller, OF New York
Treasurer, Fl. r. Hctchkiss, OF New York.

A Republican who Will Vote for
Cleveland. Thurman ana Reform.
A HERALD reporter was walking along
the street and met a we'll known Repub
lican, one who held county office here
under Republican rule. He is an at
torney, and said to the Democratic scribe
"You look well, despite the fact that
the Republican party is in Convention in
Chicago"
| "Yes," replied the pencil-pusher
happy in the receipt Of his weekly salary,
81 am Democrat, but do not allow
politics to interfere with my digestion
nor to keep me awake. / intend to be
serene, no matter who gets the Repub-
lican nomination"
"Why," queried the ex-office holder,
edo you not care who will be nomi-
mated"
The reply was: "I do not think it
matters much, for the reason think we
can knock out the best man, or the worst
man-any man you can put up. But my
equalness of mind goes further. l shall
not allow my disposition to be soured
even by defeat. | will worry along the
best can in spite of any outcome"
The face of the Republican grew long
as he said:
"Why, thought you were decidedly a
strong partisan, and that you took deep
interest in politics" ?"
Here amazement on the reporter sat,
and he remarked;
"Well, so / am, and will do my level
best to iget every vote for the Demo-
cratic ticket that l can. The issue is
Tariff for the Just needs Of the Govern
ment; or Taxation for the unjust benefit
of the monopolies. l am ready to con-
test the question with you right here in
the hope Of convincing reasonable man
that we are right in this, and that His
Magnetism from Maine is dealing in
clap-trap when he combats us. would
like to see you vote our ticket on this
ISSUE"
Imagine the surprise OF the reporter to
whose callous soul sensation is everyday
meat, when this stalwart Republican
said:
"That is just what shall do. To vote
my convictions this time must vote for
Cleveland and Tariff Reform, and that is
the ticket / intend to vote. That was the
position Of my party four years ago. If
the party has changed the situation
has not and will stay with the situation
rather than follow the party"

BLAINE PROGRAMME.
A Deadlock is what the ssNl osaic's',
Friends are Desiring.

1t is said tonight that Senator Quay,
of Pennsylvania, favors Allison, but pow
erful efforts have been made to bring
him into the Harrison combination. 1t
is apparent that the programme OF a
number of the friends OF Blaine has been,
and is, to prevent the making Of any
nomination. thus bringing on deadlock
and the possibility Of Blaine.
The programme as outlined last night
was that early in the bal
loting Sherman was TO have his
chance for the nomination, and
failing, was to fall back beaten. Then
Harrison was to have his turn. When
in to-day's balloting, Indiana, which
Harrison's managers had claimed unani-
mously, gave Gresham one vote on the
first, and two on the second, and Gres-
ham had larger number than Harrison,
standing next to Sherman, the belief was
general that Harrison had been defeated
as well as Sherman, and that Allison
would be the next to be taken up, but
Depew's action gave unexpected force to
the Harrison movement.
IL is significant, however, that the friends
Blaine in the New England States, on
the question OF adjournment, and Maine,
Arkansas and California, voted "yea"
unanimously. This means that the in
fuences closest to Blaine, excepting FL.
kins, dc not intend to permit the nomi-
nation Of Harrison, If they can prevent
it. The vote on adjournment shows
Harrison's strength to be about 275, and
the question is, whether he can get the
140 votes still needed.
Twelve Illinois delegates voted against
adjournment, indicating that there is a
detection from Gresham in the State,
which shows itself on tactical ballots,
rather than in open revolt. Wisconsin
has joined the Harrison combination.

BADLY BEATEN.
Pat Hughes Charged with Batterl
Upon HIS wife.

As Officer Auble was patrolling First
street last night at about 10 o'clock, he
was approached by citizen, who asked
him to go at once to house on Whining
ton street. The man stated that a
woman was being beaten to death there
by her husband. Auble hurried to the
place indicated, and as he neared the
house he heard cries of agony, evidently
emanating from woman, issuing from
it. He burst in the door, and truly
terrible sight met his eyes. Lying upon
the floor Of a miserably furnished
room was a woman, literally covered with
blood her face an unrecognizable mass
of bruises and lacerations. Bending over
the woman was drunken man. As the
officer approached the man raised his
foot TO kick the PROSTATE form of the
woman again, but Auble was too quick
for him. He jumped at him and sent
him sprawling on the floor Of the room.
The woman he lifted up and placed on a
bed. He then placed the man under ar
rest, and found that he had in custody
Pat Hughes, who has been imprisoned be-
fore for beating his wife. Hughes resisted
the officer desperately, and in half
drunken condition, seemed possessed
of almost supernatural strength. Auble
finally handcuffed him and took him to
the city prison. where he was charged
with battery. The condition Of Mrs.
Hughes seemed 30 precarlous when Au-
BILE left the house that he asked that no
bail be accepted for Hughes. Mrs.
Hughes had been beaten about the face,
kicked In the abdomen, ribs and head,
and her right ear had been nearly torn
away. AS the lady was in delicate
health, it is doubtful If she will re-
cover from her injuries.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CHICAGO, June 22.-The sensation Of
the day was the withdrawal from the con
test Of Chauncey M. Depew, and the de-
cision of the New York delegation to sup
port ex-senator Harrison for President
It has for some days been apparent that
Depew could not hope for the nomina'
ton, and he has been feeling considera-
bly, chagrined that he should have been
led into the mistake Of allowing his name
to be presented. After the three ballots
in the first session OF the Convention, to-
day, during which the votes in but small
measure varied from complimentary
status, Depew requested the remaining
three delegates-at-large from New York
TO meet him in council. To them he an
nounced his decision to retire, and the
four delegates and leaders at once en-
deavored to revive the original policy Of
the New York delegation, and choose a
man to receive the substantially united
support OF the State.
Senator Hiscock has been rather favor
Die 10 ALLISON LIS pbIdtoiidi Soiica6uO,
Plat, has favored Alger Miller has been
Sherman man. .Depew has had no second
choice, and the three other delegates
agreed to cast their influence for any
man whom Depew might name. Fol-
lowing out this programme, Depew
selected Harrison, Of Indiana, and after
he had formally withdrawn his own
name, the New York delegation decided
by vote of sixty-five to seven, to follow
his leadership.
Much excitement prevailed upon
this decision becoming known, and
Harrison's nomination at the even
ing session was fully predicted. But
while the cup of victory appeared
to be close to Harrison's lips,
maneuvers interfered, and for the time
being at least, dashed it away. The
friends Of all the other candidates united
in forcing adjournment, thus preventing
balloting, and at the same time forcing
the combination to show its strength.
This tactical victory for the opposition
established the fact that Harrison has
not majority Of the Convention, and
that he can be beaten by another candi-
date upon whom stronger combination
may be centered.
