W illnesses Before the Parnell Com
mittee Tell Queer Stories.

LONDON, December 4.-Before the Par
nell Commission to-day man named
Cellaher testified that by means of
threats that they would burn his house
and that the Moonlighters would make
an assault on him and his family, he was
compelled to swear loyalty to the League,
and that he would quit the employ OF a
farmer then under boycott.
Another witness, O'Connor, testified
that George Twiss and John Connell in
duced him to Join the inner circle of the
League by saying it was fine thing be a
soldier of Parnell's, that he would get
some pay for doing almost nothing. The
circle which he joined was known as "The
Boys" Witness took part in the Moon
light expeditions of "The Boys" carry
ing guns and revolvers. Timothy Horan
Secretary OF branch of the League,
paid witness and nine others six shillings
each on the occasion of one outrage.
Timothy Harrington promised to pay
witness and others their own price il
they could secure the election of one
McSweeney, a member OF the League, as
poor law guardian. He instructed them
not to kill voters, but only frighten them
greatly and compel them to sign voting
PAPERS. luOsc WHO Tolusou we're CO0TCeO
and compelled to sign. Harrington paid
witness seven pounds. All the members
of the inner circle belonged to the
League. Membership in the League
was essential to membership of "The
Boys"
O'Connor further testified that the day
before Uuliotty was shot his offense was
discussed at meeting of the League
committee. Afterward Father O'Callag-
han said he knew Cullotty was an ugly
man, and would soon be uglier. The
Curragh branch OF the League appealed
to the Central League for aid for evicred
tenants, and received reply on the Off
cial note paper of the League refusing
any relief on the ground that the dist, ict
was too greatly disturbed. By the same
post, however, was received private
letter signed Timothy Harrington, in
which the reason given for the refusal to
respond to the appeal of the Curragh
branch, was that the place was too dull

RAILROAD BUILDING.
The New Line South Through
Fresno PrOgressfng.

SAN Francisco, December At is
stated here that the engineers of the
Stockton, Fresno and Southern, line OF
road which is to be built in OPPOSITION to the
Southern Pacific in the San Joaquin Val
ley, are working from Stockton. A resi-
dent engineer will be in Fsreno soon 10
fix definitely the points of entrance ana
exit of the read in that city.
The original survey made for the line
did not take it through Fresno, but since
that survey was made the capitalists be-
hind the scheme have changed their
plans, and it will run through the east
'ern portion of Fresno. A contract for
steel rails for the road has been let, and
a representative of the company is now
in this city tc complete the contract for
grading the roadbed. The proposed
route south from Fresno is to Centerville,
Visalia and Bakersfield, striking the
Santa Fe's surveyed line near the latter
point. There is talk of a northern ex-
land via Livermore.
RUSHING THE NEW s. P. LINE.
Great activity is now displayed at the
head of operations on the Southern Pa
cific branch railway extension to Santa
Marguerite and San Luis Obispo. Nu
merous additions have been made to
the force of late. and it now
numbers nearly two thousand men. The
magnitude of the work is such that il
can hardly be completed inside of eight.
cen months, even though the workmen
should be kept constantly employed. 1,
has been suggested that more men could
be set at work and the road hurried
to completion by the sinking of shafts
down into the middle of the tunnel
from the surface and working both ways,
thus affording chance of employment
for four sets of men, but it is not vel
known whether or not this plan will be
adopted.

FIRE IN THE Hold.
A Ship Returns to Port IN a Peril
llOus Condition.


SAN FRANCISCO, December 4.-The
German bark, @. r. Bishop, which sailed
from this port November Goth, loaded
with wheat for Queenstown, returned to
port this evening with fire in her hold.
The fire has been burning several days,
and it is feared it will burst out and
destroy the vessel. She is now at anchor
off Meigg's Wharf. A fire boat has gone
to the assistance of the vessel, but it is
difficult to get at the fire without causing
a draught, which will increase the
flames.
The fire was discovered Saturday
morning in some wool stored around the
mizzen-mast, when the vessel was about
two hundred miles off Farallone Island.
The matches were Immediately closed
and the bark headed for this
port. She was picked up about
fifteen miles outside the Golden Gate
this evening by tug boat and towed to
Mission Flats, where she lies. The miz-
zen mast has been burned off and toppled
over the port side. 1t is impossible to learn
the extent of the damage, as the matches
cannot be opened for fear of an ex-
plosion. The bark was cleared by G..
w. McNear, of this city, and was $50
tons burden; the cargo consisted of
wheat and general merchandise.

BERLIN, December 4.-The Emperor
drove outto-day, his first outing in ten
days.
Among the latest orders issued by the
Emperor is one prohibiting officers in
Berlin, and other great garrison towns,
under penalty Of five days arrest. from
using civilian dress when off duty. The
custom has been growing among officers
to throw aside their military garb upon
every possible occasion. This does not
meet the Emperor's aim, his object be-
ing to glorify the military functions.
The report that the Government in
tended to ask an appropriation of SO, ,O00,-
600 marks for field artillery, became the
subject for question in the Reichstag.
General Won Schellendorf admitted that
it was true in view of the large artillery
equipments of foreign countries that an
increase of German artillery equipments
was under consideration, but it was un.
true that the sum Of 100000 marks
would be asked. This response left the
members in the dark as to what amount
would be added to the budget, and in
creased the distrust previously felt.
THE KAISER MUST BE REvERED.
The spread of Socialism appears to
affect even the veteran soldiers associa-
tions. Uneasy under the Indications OF
discomfort among the veterans, the
Emperor desires that no soldiers associa-
tions, old or new, be authorized unless
the statutes of such associations contain
an article affirming attachment and de-
votion to the Emperor. Such associa.
tions must also exclude from discussion
at their meetings all political and re-
ligious questions.
SORT OF SACKvILLE AFFAIR.
The New Spanish Ambassador, Count
Fascon, arrived here yesterday. Count
Benomar, who has not yet presented his
letters of recall. is therefore still recog
nized as Soain's representative here.
The relations between Germany and
Spain are becoming decidedly unpleas-
ant. Herr Stumm, German Minister at
Madrid, recently sounded Sefior Armijo,
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
regard to the attitude of Spain in the
event of a war between France and Ger
many. Seior Armijo gave an
evasive anEwer. He said he hoped
that Spain would have no occasion
to interfere with the neutrality that
suited her interests. A dispatch sent to
Count Benomar and communicated by
him to Prince Bismarck, emphasizes
Sef1or Armijo's hostility to the Triple
Alliance. Senior Armijo declared that
Count Benomar should not have disclos-
ed the nature of the dispatch, and that
the dismissed Minister is too much of
Prussophile to he in the service of Spain
The Spanish Foreign Minister proposes
to try Count Benomar before State
Council. This incident does not tend
toward the friendly reception of Count

Sugar Trust Prosecution.

New YoRK, December 4.-General
Roger A. Pryor, for the people of the
State OF New York, this morning opened
the Sugar Trust prosecution in the Su-
preme Court. The particular trust under
consideration to-day was the North River
Sugar Refining Company.
Attorney-General Laber supplemented
General Pryor's argument. Ex.Chief
Justice Daily opened for the defense. He
denied that the company had abused it's
privileges. The price Of sugar had not
been increased, and the management
was simply to promote economy, to pro-
tect them against unlawful combines of
workmen, and give each refinery the
benefit of the appliances of the others.

Stevenson, of Nevada, and Walter L.
Palmer were on trial before Judge Wal.
lace, to-day, charged with defrauding the
stockholders of the Kentuck Mine, on
the Gold Hill ledge, out of $550,000.
The suit is brought in the name of the
stockholders by Washington Smith, who
alleges that Stevenson, Palmer and sew
eral others formed combination to OBJ
tain control of the mine, after which
they elected their own officers, making
Stevenson Superintendent; that while
acting in this capacity the latter obtained
contract to reduce the mines ores at
the Douglass mill, Of which he is chief
owner, at tie rate Of $3.50 ton above
the ordinary charge for milling; and
that in this manner he defrauded the
company out of $4,000. In addition
thereto it is charged that Stevenson made
way with ore from the mines to the
amount of half million dollars.

The Supreme Court affirmed the report
of the Commissioners in the cause of
John Applegarth against T. J. McQuiddy.
The action was brought to compel an ac-
counting from the directors of ditch
company in Tulare county for losses sus-
tanned because the directors gave water
away instad of selling it. The Superior
Court decided that because the ditch
company was corporation, it did not
necessarily imply that it must sell water.
1t could give it away if it so desired. The
Court holds that to distribute water for
irrigation purposes is not fraud.
