Riddied with bullets.

FRESNO, April Tom Patterson,
who broke Jail ct Visalia month
ago, where he had been sent for safe
keeping pending an appeal to the
Supreme Court, for robbery and as
sault to commit murder on Henry
Hely, q farmer residing near
here, was found yesterday near
Summit Lake, this county, by Sheriff
Meade and Sheriff Parker, Of Tulare
county, and six other officers in a
thickiy wooded sage-brush country,
where he had erected a hut Of sage
brush, where he had evidently lived
most of the time since his es-
cape. The posse approached within
$50 yards, when they called out to
him to throw up his hands. The
order was unheeded and Patterson
reached for q gun, when the officers
opened fire with their rifles.
Patterson fell, and on approaching
him he was found riddled with bull
| let's but conscious. He lived one
hour, and was brought here last night
The Coroner's jury exonerated the
officers. Patterson evidently had

ThA wilbur Line.

SAX Francisco, April IA gentle
man from Fresno said to-day that the
money in aid of the Wilbur line would
probably all be subscribed soon :
"Wilbur and his associates will get
what they have been seeking all along
"a subsidy of two hundred thousand
dollars, and with that money they can
build a road from Antioch to Fresno.
l don't say that is all it will cost to
construct such a line, but with that
amount in hand they will
find no trouble in obtaining
sufficient amount elsewhere.
1t practically assures the building
of the line. The line will cost alto
gether about $4,000. There is hard
ly any doubt that in less than q year
rails will be laid from Antioch to
Fresno. South of Fresno the pro-
gress will be rapid until the Tejon
Pass has been reached. There the
company will have uphill work in
more senses than one. By that time,
however, it may secure expected aid
from the A 7. & S. F., and the line
will then be pushed through to the
Mojave and Santa Fe."

Shocking suicides.

New YORK, April 7.--Hans Stack
ried and his wife Fannie, a handsome
woman twenty-one years of age, took
a dose of poison early this morning,
and died within an hour Of each other
after being removed to the st. Vim
cent Hospital. The husband was a
polish Jew and had been out of work
for some time. His wife was COM
PEELED to pawn almost everything she
had of any value. Finally the father
and mother and a fve.months-old
baby boy, had to live on crusts OF
bread picked from the street
refuse barrels. The family lived
in one room. About midnight Mrs.
Derring heard an unusual moi o in the
Stackrieds' room. She went out into
the hallway, an there saw Stackfied,
who looked as though he was intoxi'
Gated. His face was ghastly pale, his
eyes glared and large beads of perspi-
ration stood out on his face, and fear
ing the man might attack her, Mrs.
Derring rushed back into her room
and slammed the door too. At about
2 o'clock Stackried knocked at hei
door, and upon Mrs. Derring opening
it, he said, while his face grew black
and blue "Wes have taken poison
my wife and l." Then he suddenly
fell to the floor. ? Entering the Stack
ried room, Mrs. Derring found the
wife lying ON sofa as if dead, with
her babe clssped to her breasts In 9
minute or so, she opened her eyes
and said, family: "Gofor the police
We are dying" An ambulance was
summoned and both were removed t(
the hospital. The husband died q
five O'Clock, and his wife an houl
later. Tho babe was ct once trans.
ferred to the care Of Matron Webb at
the police headquarters.

Central,s New plea.

SAN Francisco, April IA Wash
ington special to the E1aminer says
that when the Senate special commit
tee on the Pacific railway bill met to-
day Creed Raymond, the Solicitor
General of the Central Pacific railway,
concluded his argument on behalf
of the corporation. Mr.. Raymond
said, In the case OF the Union and
Central compared, ! have attempted
to point out the difference in the status
of the two transcontinental companies
growing out Of the nature of things.
The Trunk Line of the Union Pacific
road runs through the Platte river bot
IONS, the garden spot of the West !;
the trunk line of the Central Pacific
road runs through country which
cannot support heavy population !;
the land OF which is not arabic and
adjacent to which are no rich val
leys which could be made tributary
to that road. The grant to the Union
Pacific was garden; that to the Cen
tral Pacific a desert. The line OF
the Union Pacific road, aided, is l 1,03S
miles in length, while the aided line
of the Central and Western Pacific
combined is but 800 miles. The Gov
erment sustained great expense in
protecting the construction forces Of
the Union Pacific, but not dollar to
that end was expended by the Gov
ernment on the Central line.
The Central Pacific claims that
there were certain equities in its favor
under the creating act, and though
the Pacific Railroad Commission gave
little attention to these considerations,
and, indeed, say as to some Of them,
that they do not consti-
tute legal claim enforcible in
the courts OF law; but they
have lost sight Of the fact that Con-
gress passed on March 8, 1887. and
the President approved, an Act re-
cognizing that equities did exist be-
tween the Government and the road
that must be considered before any
adjustment Of differences 10 finally
made.

the throng that gathered this beauti-
full morning to celebrate the one hun

Governor Foraker. who alluded warm

that slavery although domestic in
stitution with them should not be al

My ehildhood's days were motherless
And lone and strange beyond compare.
But for my fathers tender love,
Too hard for little child to bear.

Bent down with eyes of softest blue,
And answered thus: "Ny little lamb.

This was my type of heavenly love.

WILL 1T PROVE A LESSON TO THE
BOYS!

BOYS!
The formation of one bad habit Of
ten leads to another, and, the down.
ward path once entered, we find it
hard to retrace our steps. The passion
for gambling is said to be even more
disastrous in its results than love of
ardent spirits, but too often one leads
to the other.
A writer of the Detroit Free Press
gives the following. Win it prove
lesson to the boys?
We were talking about it in the
Astor House last evening, and as we
did so spectral form approached, a
gaunt-faced, scraggy-haired, thinly-
bearded man, who beckoned to one
of my friends and said: "For the love
you bear me, Bill, let me have fifty
cents.
The one spoken to gave him a dol
lar and the man moved off.
When he had gone from the rotunda
the other said: aThat is curious
coincidence. Ten days ago that man
was worth $4,000. He is a printer
by trade. Some of the boys persuaded
him to join them in a lottery and he
drew $3.50. A new idea was shown to
him and he began investing. He put
up 81 900 at a time. Sometimes he
would get 500 back, sometimes $50,
$25, So, and indeed, on large invest
ments he would always, think he
told me, draw something, but nowhere
near what he would put in, and never
again did he draw anything above
500. He neglected his business and
became an habitual purchaser of lot
terry tickets.
HE is of nervous temperament,
sanguinary, and trusting intuitively
that sooner or later luck must turn
in his favor. He took to drink. As
loss after loss was made he braced up
on brandy. His affairs became EN-.
barrassed. Three years ago he was
a bankrupt. ] had known him al
ways, and in my early days" con
tinued the speaker, she helped me.
1t is good thing in life to remember
those who helped you, and when he
came to me in distress, with his wife
and five little ones, dependent upon
him, and asked that / would do some
thing by throwing plank across the
stream of trouble, something which
would help him to build bridge of
permanent support, | set him up in a
little printing house which cost me
$1,000. He was bright and had friends
and influenced considerable print
ing for him.
"At the end of six months he came
to me with trouble written in every
line of his face and said: Well, Bill,
] am broke. took his books and
could make nothing out of them be-
yond the fact that in some way or
other he was $500 out. Well, $500
don't amount to much, but $400 on

several hundreds more, seems so near
to $4,000, and $4,000 is such a long
step toward $4,000, that / called a

Geo. P. Rowell & Co., the pub
fishers of the American Newspaper
Directory, undertake to rate news
paper calculations very much as the
mercantile agencies give the capital
and credit ratings of the business
community. About one publisher in
ten is willing to have his exact issue
known, and tells it with truthful pre-
cision; but some of the other nine de-
cline to tell the facts concerning their
own issues because they assert that
those who do tell, do not tell truly.
Messrs. Rowell & Co., after an ex-
pelience of twenty years, have come
to the conclusion that the facts will
not sustain this view; and in the
twentieth annual issue of their book,
now in the binders hands, they plain
ly designate every paper which is ra-
ted in exact accordance with detail
ed statement from the publisher and
offer to pay reward of one hundred
dollars for each and every instance of
a misstatement for which a publisher
is responsible. The LONDONDERRY
SITTER is one of the papers which is
willing to have it known how many it
prints and whose good faith the Di-
rectory publishers express a willing
ness to guarantee to the extent of
one hundred dollars.

Echoes from the Press.

Within a quarter of a century the
Congregationalists in New England
have had three great laymen, Gov.
Buckingham of Connecticut, Mr.. AL
pheus Hardy of Boston and Gov.
Fairbanks Of Vermont. These men
stood in honor, both within and with
out their denomination, and will be
long remembered for their large gen.
crosby, their fairness of Judgment,
and their wise unworldiness in spirtu-
al affairs. The men to fill their
places are not easily named; they
were of type worthy of the highest
honor in both church and state
Boston Herald.
The address of the Vermont Re-
publicans in behalf of the Republican
State League, which is given in an
other column of this issue of the
Journal, might be proftably taken as
an appropriate model in other states.
1t is evident that the interest which
Vermont has manifested from the first
in the formation of permanent Repub-
licans clubs is bound to continue I'M
til the party among the Green Mount
aims is as closely and thoroughly Or
gained as the most jealous promo
tiers OF the present work can ask.
Vermont is the banner New Eng
land state in the Republican League,
and if Massachusetts is to keep its
accustomed position as among the
foremost in every great Republican
movement, it must begin Immediately
to emulate Vermont's magnificent ac-
tivity.-Boston journal.

The other day Congressman Bland
of Missouri was making free trade
speech and in the course of it had the
clerk read newspaper article found
ed upon the report of the Inspector
of Finance for Vermont. Just then
Gen Grout came in and at the prop
er opportunity made the following
happy retort:
81 do not rise to make speech,
but l heard, as / came into the hall,
the clerk reading what, as ! was in
formed, was a newspaper article to
the effect that some officer in Ver-
mont, who must have been the in
spector of finance, had reported that
many millions of dollars were placed
by the people of Vermont on farm
mortgages in the West, which | have
no doubt is correct. The gentleman
from Missouri then went on to say
that the farmers in the West were
struggling beneath a great burden of
debt and that they labored under
great disadvantage in consequence of
the tariff bearing so heavily upon
them and cited in proof of it the
fact that manufacturing states of
New England, which were fattening
off the tariff, were sending millions of
money West. Now l want to re-
mind the gentleman from Missouri
and the House that Vermont is not a
manufacturing state. 1t is strictly
an agricultural state, almost exclus-
lively so; and this report from the in
spector of finance was respecting the
savings institutions of the state,
which carry the earnings and savings
If the farmes in that state. So, if
he farmes in the West are suffering
o the extent the gentleman says in
of the protective tariff,
which bears in Vermont precisely as
n Missouri, the people of Missouri
'etter move to Vermont, where the
armers find no fault with the protec-
i've tariff, except that it is not high
nough."
