Suit Against Field Dismissed,

SACRAMENTO, Aug. Ex-Governor
Waterman to-day wrote a letter to At
torney General johnson Of California in
which he says: THE arrest of Justice
Field of the supreme court Of the United
States on the unsupported oath of a wo-
man who on the very day the
oath was taken and often before
threatened his lie will be a burning dis
grace to the state unless disaVowed. |
therefore urge upon you the propriety OF
at once %instructing the district attorney
of San Joaquin county to dismiss the IN
warranted proceedings against him."
Upon the receipt ofthis letter Attorney
General johnson wrote the district attor
ney stating that in view of the fact that
there is no evidence duplicating Justice
Field in the shooting of Judge Terry pub
lie Justice demanded that the charge
against him be dismissed. If any evil
dence comes up hereafter duplicating any
person in the affair the district attorney
will of course proceed against such person
in the usual manner.

Everything is said to have its para
site, and the cable at the bottom of the
sea is no exception. Cables have been
taken up from a depth of a mile and a
half with the hemp covering badly eaten
away, and at a depth of over half a mile
strong currents of the ocean have rasped
the armored wires on the rocky bottom.
Experience has not yet determined the
full lasting qualities of electric cables.
Specimens have been taken up which
show no signs of deterioration after
having been in the water for more than
t~hirty-five years. Water, and especially
salt water, seems to be a preserver of
insulating compounds.

bothered by the noise of dogs, put up in
the court a placard, in large letters: "No
Barking Allowed" This sign did not
seem to make much impression upon the
dogs, but it soon brought down an angry
tenant.

Closing quotations range as follows.

The sheep market has been knocked
out by heavy receipts. A healthy de
mand exists right along and when it is
considered hat receipts are the largest
ever recorded for a week in August it
must be acknowledged that prices have
held up remarkably well. Desirable nut
tons and lambs are not off more thar
loo and although a good many common
natives and thin Westerns had to be car
ried over from day to day the greatest
quotable decline is not more than 2O(625c.
Feeders are still large buyers, taking
nearly one-third the offerings. Wyoming,
Montana, Nebraska and Texas sheep sell
at SO 1904 35, hulk at SO. 1903 90. Ma
tives go at S3.l5@4.75 bulk at S. 9O@
4 40. The general trade certainly has a
healthy undertone.

Fire in a Vessel.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-The Pacific
mail steamship City of Para with twenty
nine cabin passengers arrived at Sandy
Hook this morning from Aspinwall. The
coverings of her forward hatch, burned
and scorched, and the outward marks of
q big fire which came very near destroying
the vessel and its precious cargo. The
Para left New York the first part of this
month with a full cargo OF merchandise.
She reached Aspinwall in due season and
the longshoremen and sailors discharged
a total OF $50 tons of cargo from the
hold when the Ere was discovered among
the Cotton aud naval stores which were
slowed in the forw lrd compartment.
This was on the evening of August IL,
two days after the vessels arrived. The
fire had complete control of the forehold
when discovered and before the alarm
could be sounded great sheets of flame
aud volumes of binding smoke filled the
air over the forward part of the craft.
The flames attracted the attention of the
ancient fire department of Aspinwall
which turned out with a number of Amer
lean laborers about the dock set to work
to assist the people OF the steamship in
extinguishing the flames. All through
the night of the llth the men toiled.
Several feI exhausted as the morning
came on from overwork. The 18th open
ed with the fire still burning ~fiercely and
towards noon of that day it looked as if
the steamer was doomed. During the
afternoon of the 18th the flames went
down rs suddenly as they began. AID at 4
o'clock Capt. Lockwood, the skipper OF
the ship, reported the fire extinguished.
A very considerable quantity of the cargo
was destroyed and the interior of the yes
sci is badly damaged.

CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-The cattle market
is in bad shape. Receipts have not been
quite as large as for the previous week
but each morning has found the pens
half filed with stale" stock, some
droves being carried over for three or
four days. Western natives are all fat
and lower and green" feshy natives
here are 60(970c cheaper than early in
the month. Why farmers continue to
market their half fat grassy stock in such
large numbers right on tor of the ruinous
break of last week is a conundrum hard
to solve unless they are very badly advised.
English markets came in a sharp 3c high
er at ll49l3c for American beef and on
the early days it looked as though hold
ers of ripe, dry fed steers would get out
at pretty nearly steady figures. However
everybody says that the deal was in a
strained condition and after urgent orders
were filled Eastern shippers and exporters
held off 80 that by Wednesday even the
best beeves we're offered at l0c decline
Grassy natives were no where. Not
only were they quoted 20c lower, but
there seemed no outlet for them. Several
thousand, as noted above, had to be car
ried over from day to day and on this
stale stuff statesmen found it next to i'm
possible to get a bid. Sales were made
u%nevenly at all sorts of prices. The gen
eral quality, too, is poorer than at any
time recently. Dealers complain of a
scarcity OF good $50 to l,5OO pound
steers. while the supply of half Fat steers
at that weight is abundant. For many
lots holders accepted anything and were
thankful to get a bid. Native cows are
down to bed rock prices and all butchers
and canning stuff Is very weak. Range
cattle, as usual, receives the preference
over poor natives and bring fully steady
prices. Shippers have taken a large
number for the Eastern markets and in
some instances the best grades even fetch
a shade more than a week ago. The bulk
of the Texas steers sell between 81 60 and
SO, with about SO. 80 the top OF the mar
ket. Montana ''grassers'' of |, 200 to l.
425 pounds bring SO. 30(d$3 so and as
high as 81 was paid for a drove of Dako-
tas early in the week. A train load of
|, 2l2 pound Indian steers sold on Tues
day at SO. Is.
Of natives there Is only here and there
a sale at better than 81. so. Common to
pretty good steers go at 81. 75(93 IS, and
1t takes something better than the ordin-
airy run to bring more than $500. Ship
pers buy l,2609l 500 pound cornfed
beeyes principally at SO. 9O(94 80, and
dressed beef men have not made more
than half a dozen purchases at above
81 IS. Nine-tenths OF the native COWS
make only 81. 25(92 25 and Texas cows

that the margin between common and ex.

Robert Marvel died at Indianapo-
lis Tuesday morning. It. WAS sixty
seven days ago that he entered upon
his fast, the longest and most WON
derful of which there is any record.
He was S5 years old and exception
ally vigorous and heathful, and IL
was pride in his strength that had
caused aim for the last few years to
assume the care of cultivating a
garden. He returned from his
work on June 9 almost helpless
from a strange attack and stood be-
fore the door of his home unable to
enter when he was found by mehn-
bers of his family. The doctors,
after examining him, said that ne
was paralyzed> and for period of
five days he was helpless. Then he
gradually began to recover the use
of his hands, and at the end of nine
days he arose from his bed. During
the time, however, he had taken
neither water nor food. When an
effort was made to force him to take
punishment he resisted four men
with such force that they were COM
PEELED to abandon the attempt.
On the ninth day Of his abstin-
ence he voluntarily drank small
quantity of water and day Or two
afterwards he took few spoonfuis
of milk. lie would permit no one
to touch him If he could prevent it,
The laying of a hand upon him, no
matter how gently, seemed to cause
him eXcruciating pain. He could
not talk and he seemed incapable of
giving manifestations OF any i'm
preston upon his mind. Not until
three weeks ago did he become too
weak to walk about his home, but
until within the last three days he
would occasionally gather sufficient
strength to rise from his bed. He
gradually failed, until from sheer
exhaustion he expired. In the days
of his fast his sleeping became long
er and more frequent.
In the sixty-seven days that
have elasped since the beginning of
his strange attack" said DR.. Hasty,
'Marvel has not taken ibto his body
as much as a gallon OF milk. His
flesh has shriveled up, and there
was really nothing of the man but
skin and bones when he died. His
back bone could be felt from in front
AS well as from behind. His condition
was due, | think from degeneration
of the arteries and paralysis of the
organs of the throat, but the case is,
so far as | have been able to learn
without q parallel.N
