Almost KILLED.

Yesterday evening about O'Clock,
at the corner of First and Main
streets, a delivery clerk in the employ
of w. G. Furrey, by the name of
Herbert O'Kell, who had been driving
up First, was injured. The harness
in some way became loosened from
the horse, allowing him to leave the
shafts and, in so doing, he pulled
Mr.. O'Kell from the wagon, causing
him to strike on the pavement on bis
face and head. He was picked up in
an unconscious state and carried to
Aockerblum's drug store, where he
was attended by Drs. Hurts and
De Szigethy. While they found him
badly bruised on the forehead and
face, they thought that there were no
bones broken. The young mans
parents reside in Pasadena, and his
many friends in this city will be
pleased to hear it is nothing worse.
Later, he was removed to st. Paul's
Hospital, where at last accounts he
was resting easy.

ing that Blaine would not allow his
name to be used before the conven-
tion, said that he had been expecting
some such utterance from Blaine for
some time. Blame was one of the
most foremost Americans whom every
Republican would have delighted to
honor, and it was serious mistake
that he had not concluded to
make the race again. He thought
that the letter would cause a number
of candidates to come to the front.
He himself proposed to make the
race for the Ohio delegation and
would contest honorably for the nomi
nation. He had understood all along
that Blaine would not again seek the
nomination, and it was on this hypo-
thesis that he (Sherman) had entered

case of the United States against the
British steamerStrathairly suit in the
nature of libel against the steamer
to recover about $25 900 in penalties
for alleged violation Of certain U. s.
statutes prescribing the number of
Chinese immigrants that shall be car
ried by steamers, the certain size OF
their accommodations and the deliv-
cry Of true list of such passengers to
the collector of customs in San Fran
cisco, exceptions were taken in the
court below on the ground that the
facts set forth we're not sufficient to
create lien on the vessel under any
law in the United States and the court
sustained the decision. The Supreme
Court in decision by Justice
Matthews, holds that the libel sets
forth sufficient cause for the United
States to recover on the first and
second clauses, but must be dismissed
as to the third. The decree of the
Circuit Court is therefore reversed with
directions to take further proceedings,

$4,000 Words an Hour can be
Telegraphed from Frisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 13.-One
argument being used in the East
against the selection Of San Francisco
as an eligible place for the National
Democratic Convention is, that the
telegraphic facilities here would not be
equal to the occasion. Super
intendent Jaynes, Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, said
to-day that with the aid OF the
Mackay- Bennett lines, $4,000 words
per hour might safely be counted on
as the sending capacity of the over
land wires leading from this city.
Mr.. Jaynes was Of the opinion that
San Francisco would be able to
give q telegraphic service equal
o the occasion and satisfactory
to the eastern press. The Western
Union embraces seven Central Pacific
lines, four Northern Pacific, three
Southern Pacific and one Atlantic
and Pacific. Besides these, there are
two lines belonging to the Mackey-
Bennett service, making in all seven
teen lines.

WAsHMGroN, February 13.--A d.
cision Of particular interest and I'M
portaace to California was rendered
by the Supreme Court to-day il ~
Chinese immigrant case Of the Unitod
States against Jung All Lung. Lung.
appellee, was q Chinese laborer Who
resided in the United States on No
vember II, 1880, and who continued
to reside there until October "a, 1883.
Then he left San Francisco for China,
taking with him acertificate Of identi-
fication issued to him by the collector
of that port in the form required BY
the fourth secti n Of the ace
of May 6, 1882, chapter III
(22 stat. 5S). This certificate
was stolen from him in China and re-
mained outstanding and uncalled.
Upon returning from China to San
Francisco by vessel, Jung All Lung
was not allowed by the Collector "a
land. for want of q certificate and WA
detained in custody in the port b4
the Master Of the vessel by Directs
of the Customs authorities. On =
writ of habeas corpus, issued by tho
District Court of the United States it
appeared that he corresponded in
all respects with the description con-
tanned in the registration books Of the
Custom House Of the person to whom
the certificate was issued. He wa1
therefore discharged from custody and
the ordering of the discharge was A.
6rmed by the Supreme Court. This
court in
THE OPINION DELIVERED
By Justice Blatchford holds:
First-That Jung All Lung was in
custody under or by color Of authority
of the United States and the Distri6
Court had jurisdiction to issue q writ.
Second-That the jurisdiction Of tha
Court was not affected by the fack
that the Collector had passed O
the question Of allowing = peru0n 70
land, or by the fact that the treaty
provides for diplomatic action in CO
Of hardship.
Third-That the case of Jung Al
Lung was now to be adjusted under
the provisions of the act of July s,
1884, chapter 220 (23 statute 1l6J,
where they differed from thoee of th0
act Of 1924; that in view II tho

An Effort to Smuggle the Drug
Into Jail.
A man yesterday afternoon went
to the County Jail and handed plug
Of tobacco to Jailor Russell, with q
request that the tobacco would be
given to certain persons. 1t is always
q custom of Mr.. Russell's to examine
closely anything that is taken tc the
jail and his ssuspiciens were aroused
by noticing that one Of the pack
ages had been tampered with. The
outside cover and stamp was removed
and Russell, to his astonishment,
found the inner package filed with
about two ounces Of opium. The Jail
at present contains large number
of opium fends, and this discovery
will prove an effectual bar to any Of
the fiends' friends being allowed to

Three prisoners, named Billy O'Con-

office robber, Frank st. Clair.
and William Thomas, both awaiting
trial for highway robbery, escaped
from Rumsey county jail early last
evening, and the prospects for their
recapture are considered doubtful.
The escape was made by saving four
bars from the cell door, which lot the
men into the upper corridor. From
there the men reached the attic by
saving through eight bars which forns-
ed the roof Of the corridor, and thea
cutting through the ceiling. A holo

torn into strips was lowered to the

The Battle Of paris.

This splendid work Of art continues
to attract great deal Of attention.
The great canvas is marvel of de-
sign. drawing and coloring. The FORE
ground is real-that is it is made up
of broken sash, brick walls with real
holes knocked in them and real brick
and mortar lying by the breach. The g
are also real trees and vines set in
real earth. But the keenest eye will
fail to detect where this realistic work
ends and that of the artists brush
begins. The trees on the canvas are
seemingly as re as are the
others. Men, horses, cannon, the
river Seine, the Bois de Boulogne, are
all done to the life. Paris in the dis
tanc- with its church towers, palaces
and triumphal arches, is beautiful
And it is not only in the perfect whole
that the artist has shown his skill.
