THE FULTON-WELLS TRAGEDY.
An Inquest on the Body of the
Dead Tramp.

A Coroner's inquest was held yester-
day on the body of the tramp who shot
at the woman near Norwalk Saturday
and then killed himself. No new facts
were brought out which tend to throw
much light upon the strange affair,
although the testimony of William P.
Slocum, the farmer who thought he shot
the tramp, shows pretty plainly that he
was mistaken in the first statements
which he made. On being sworn before
the jury of Inquest Mr.. Slocum said:
Il am farmer at Fulton Wells. 1 was
going toward Sackett's house, about two
O'Clock in the afternoon, when 1 heard
the report of gun. I went into the
house and got shot gun. The tramp
was then over in the corn and I went
over in that direction; but 1 do not re-
member whether l shot at him or even
saw him. was very much excited and
can't remember anything that did very
well. l don't know whether fired the
gun off or not. Then Mr.. Loveall called
to me saying, here is the man, dead l
went to the spot and found the deceased
lying with the pistol in his hand. Mrs.
Sackett then identified him as the one
that had shot at her,
II. j. Foster, physician, testified
that he had examined the body of the
man, and found him to be abont SO
years of age. The wound was in his
mouth, the bullet having penetrated his
brain.
A. Loveall, dairy man, testified that
about O'Clock in the afternoon he saw
Mrs. Sackett and Mrs. Harlowe coming
across the'field. "They stopped at the
corral and motioned with their hands
and handkerchief for me to come to
them. Mrs. Harlowe said, Mother is
shot, l looked and saw blood on her
hands and mouth and breast. Her jaw
was swollen badly. She said that the
man came and asked if her husband
wanted to- hire man. When she said
NO he asked if she would bring him a
glass of water. AS she offered It to him
he drew his revolver and fred at her
several times, swapping the revolver
after it was empty. Then he turned and
ran into the corn-feld."
The jury returned verdict that an
unknown man had died of wound in
the head inflicted with u pistol in his
own hand, with intent to commit suicide
OF all the witnesses that were summoned
no one was able to give any information
which would afford clue to the identity
of the tramp, and his purpose in shoot.

urday Evening.
One of the largest and most enthusi
astic political gatherings ever held in
Pomona occurred on Saturday night
The people Of the city and country 10,
many miles around came in at an early
hour to hear the two talented young ora
tors, Reel B. Terry, candidate for Con
gress, and Portland G. Hunt. Promptly
at 7 80 O'Clock the immense audience
was called to order by its chairman
who introduced the first speaker.
Mr.. Terry arose amid loud applause
and entered upon an interesting and
most instructive discussion of the tariff
issue. He presented many new thoughts
on that well-worn theme and held the
attention of everybody. He exposed
Vandever's crooked and demagogued
record in Congress-, making a fine i'm
preston on the predetermined Republi
cans, who will kindly remember him
with their support on election day.
Portland G. Hunt, after being intro
duced, stepped to the front amid grea
applause, and for an hour and half de
lighted the Democrats and confused thu
partisan Republicans. He gave tn,
Republican party good turning over OF
the tariff question.
For more than three hours the grea
audience listened to the telling words O
the orators, and after they finished
tremendous cheers were given for them
and for the national ticket, which the,
had so ably and eloquently defende d
The people then dispersed. feeling tina
the Democracy was greatly benefited BY
the occasion, and that the Republican
were badly crippled.

THE VINE DISEASE,
Report of Expert Ethelbert Dov

Report of Expert Ethelbert DOwlen.
Mr.. Ethelbert Dowlen, an expert in
matters pertaining to vineyards, has been
at work the past two weeks making a
thorough investigation Of the vines in
this section Of the country. He is in
the service of the Viticultural Commits
sion, and to them has just submitted the
following report:
The investigation during the past week
has been practically confined to the
older parts of the vineyards planted with
the Mission grape. These parts seem to
be a fair sample OF the whole, and in ad-
dition occupy both high and low ground.
The vines throughout show the same gen.
eral character, and can be divided into
two groups.
In the first the vines are either dead
or almost so, all the leaves having fallen
off, leaving the leaf stalks on the
branches. The fruit punches have dried
up. The leaf stalks are completely dried
up from just at the point of union with
the leaf blade to almost the entire length
of the stalk, and present different APP
pearance from stalks which have died in
the natural course of things. The green
branches usually show on their upper
surfaces slightly raised warty patches,
red, brown and silver gray in color
These often exhibit slight fissures. The
older branches, on which the bark has
taken the brown color, show an abun-
dance Of small spots of fungus growth.
The fruit punches of all ages are usually
quite shriveled up and have all the stalks
dried up in the same manner as the leaf
stalks. The fruit stalks are usually COW
cred with fungus growth.
In the second group the vines vary
much in appearance. Some have large
proportion of the leaves and fruit with
cred, while others have only few leaves
gone wrong; but in all cases the features
are the some. The leaves look as if they
had been scorched along the edges. The
mischief has always begun at the margin
of the leaf and then spread inward. The
part affected has dried up, turned brown
and curled in upon the upper surface.
In almost every leaf examined the dead
portion showed numerous spots of fun
gus, and these spots were even found on
the plump berries.
A microscopic examination of the
leaves shows on the decayed portion a
plentiful growth of furgus, the spots on
the surface being formed by the fructif-
cation. An attempt to trace the fungus
into the leaf tissues failed. An examina-
ton of the warty patches on the branches
shows that they are due to the growth of
a small fungus Immediately underneath
the cuticle. This growth has caused the
epidermal cells in contact with it to be
filed with dark-brown deposit, and has
caused the tissue itself to form the wartv
excrescences. Finally the cuticle has
been ruptured and through the rupture
the fungus has come to the outside.
Mr.. Dowlen will remain in this vicinity
for some weeks and will make reports of
his investigations from time to time.

Home Con
ated.
The home consumption in the above


The home consumption in the above
table of course includes the amounts
which are converted into brandy, into
vinegar from spelling, and lost by
shrinkage and accident. The surplus in
hand cuts little figure in the showing
since it is estimated that the total
amount of 1886 and 1887 wines in the
makers hands to date is only 1000, 900
gallons. The total exports for the twelve
years under review reaches A, IA 1872
gallons. The average price per gallon
Of the exports for twelve years was a
little over 55 cents; therefore the money
value of the total wine shipments
reaches the handsome sum of $24, $780,
900. The total brandy exports for the
corresponding period, 1877 1888, amount
ed to 2,972,z ,z45 gallons; value, at the
average price of $2 per gallon, S., ,944 600 !;
therefore, the grand total shipments of
wines and brandies from California in
the twelve years amounts in value to
$50, ,224 900. The total home consump-
ton for the twelve years given in the
table before amounted to 1856, 1853
gallons. OF this quantity, say 2O,OOO.O0O
gallons used for brandy and
$1,000, 900 gallons, shrinkage and loss,
and 1886, 16S gallons remain
for home use valued, at the minim um
price, at SSH 900. The total value of
the wine crop of California for the twelve
years, or since the industry has become
of commercial importance, reaches the
large sum of $3S, 1886 900, or an annual
average of $3,244,5SO. But viticulture
has other rewards s-the income from
raisins and table grapes.
From the estimates of Arpad Harasz.
thy the 10000 acres of vines now
planted, when in full bearing, will yield
the following results:
$4,000, 900 gallons wine at zoe. $40, 200, ,OOO
1,oO0, 900 gallons tax paid brandy
1900, 900 boxes raisins at So ..... 100000
10000 tons table grapes at $50. 100000
Iolal ....................... $16, 200 ,O0t
This is nearly $11O return for each acre
planted. Say that disaster should over.
take half of the acreage of vineyards,
leaving only 5000 acres bearing a full
crop. The return for the industry would
then be 100000 for the entire $50 ,00(
acres, or return of $54 an acre, which
is about thrice the average returns of the
best farming lands east of the Rockies
1t is almost impossible that crop should
be SO small as not to repay the vigneron
California is the home of the grape, and
though here and there vineyards may
die out through yet undiscovered causes
the industry as whole will remain
great and profitable one. M. X.

q A Tin Soldiers at the Grand
Tonight.

Tonight playgoers who frequent the
Grand Opera House will be treated to a
brilliant reproduction of Hoy's 4 Tin
Soldier. While the cast is all good the
exigent roles are taken by three persons
of whom the following will convey some
impression to those who have not seen
the play:
Miss Isabelle Coe, the original Mrs.
Brooklyn Bridge" of Hoyt's A Tin Soldier
Co., is with the company again this sea-
son, and plays the part as no one else
could play it. She is a most valuable
member OF the company, an accomplished
artistic and estimable lady, and comes ol
q we'll known theatrical family.
Eugene Canfeld, who plays the part Of
) "Rats" in Hoyt's A Tin Soldier this sea
son, is one of the most versatile
comedians on the American stage, hav.
ing played all kinds of comedy and
character parts during his twenty-one
years on the American stage. His great.
est creation undoubtedly was the past o.
"Grimes," in A Bunch of Keys, which
he played for five seasons. His new
character, Rats" fits him like glove,
and he is making the greatest hit OF his
life in it.
Miss Kate Davis, who plays "violet'
in Hoyt's A Tin Soldier this season. is
known to the stage as "the woman with
the phenomenal voice." During the past
two seasons she played the part OF the
fairy queen in Hanlon's FantasmG and
was one of the distinctive hits OF that
magnificent production. She is essen
TALLY character comedienne, and hei
voice is truly marvellous, ranging from q
deep, heavy contralto to high soprano
Her wonderful artistic abilities promise
to make her one OF MIR. Hoyt's mos
valuable acquisitions.
If Miss Davis wishes to confer neal
favor on her many admirers here she
will sing at some stage in the play-and
on the first night, "Genevieve." Miss
Coe will do similar good turn by Civ
ing the people IBID Me Good-by
and Co."
A Few sSMissing Links.''
On Monday next the attraction at the
Academy of Music, uder the direction o.
Mons. Philippe Salvini, will be quite
novel in its character, being an exhibition
of the extent to which monkeys and dogs
can be trained as actors. The opening
scene is reported to be ban
quet at which five monkeys enact.
ing the part of guests are attended
by two others as walters. One of the
monkeys is said to manifest much ability
as a comedian and the wonderful intel
ligence and great comicality of the per-
formance are much eulogized in San
Francisco paper. In another part of the
programme dogs act as horses, two mon
keys are outriders and third enacts the
part of fine lady. Goats and ponies sim
ilarly trained are also part of the outfit.
The company comes direct from Cen
tral America and Mexico and travels in
its own special cars. 1t will be here for
one week only, commencing Monday,

REWARDS OF WINE-MAKING.
Review of the Industry Since o.
Commercial Importance.

Wine-making and the growth Of the
grape for commercial purposes are in
their infancy in California. Yet the
baby has grown so amazingly in COM
paratively few years that he rivals in
size any of his brothers in industry. In
1856 there were 1900 acres of vineyards
in the entire State of California, and for
that year the wine crop was probably
2, 900, 900 gallons. The surprising growth
of the industry since that period is
shown by the comparative statistics

to good deal over 81 900 night. which
bids fair to continue during his second.

In direct commercial sense, it is only
within the past twelve years that viticul-

prosperous and assured industry. The
