The passenger train conductor has
In many respects the most difficult

should be a first class freight conductor
and a polished gentleman TO boot. But

train he has very likely been learning

ger train. He must now manage his
train in a sort Of automatic way, for
he has his mind filled with the care Of
his passengers and the collection OF
tickets. He must be good at figures,
keeping accounts, and handling
money, though the freight train ser
vice has given him no experience in
this line. Year by year the clerical
work connected with the taking up Of
tickets and collecting of cash fares has
been increased until now on many
roads an expert bank clerk would be
none too proficient for the duties i'm

SAN ANTONIO, Ten, Aug. l4.-There
was ihdescribably wild excitement IN the
city council this evening during the pro-
gress of q, special meeting called by
Mayor Callaghan The meeting was
called for the purpose of investigating
serious charges of the misrepresentation
of public funds by the mayor, made in
an interview by Alderman Bolton with
an afternoon paper reporter Yesterday.
Bolton in brief charged that in the fiscal
report, published in July, the mayor had
failed TO account for So, 800. When the
council assembled this evening Mayor
Callaghan vacated the chair and in
Imperative speech denounced Alderman
Bolton as an unmitigated falsifer and
alien Englishman. In the excitement
which ensued Bolton was unable to reply
10 the mayor, and the council adjourned
in great hubbub after resolving to meet
from day to day as an investigating COM
mittee until all the accounts of the city
for fifteen years back have been audited.
An appropriation of 5000 for an expert
accountant to assist the council III the
investigation was made.

THE FIRE RECORD.
Forest Fires in the Northwest.


PORTLAND, ORE, Aug. 1.-THE
atmosphere for miles around is thick
with smoke and cinders, and burning
brands are falling in showers. All the
Northwest country seems to be burning
up in forest fires. The smoke has been
so dense in Portland for the last two or
three weeks that for a time it was inpOs-
sible to see far up the street, and the sun
and moon seemed like great balls of fire.
In the harbor the smoke has the effect of
fog, and the steamers have been re-
quested 10 blow their whistles every few
minutes to avoid collisions. 1t is esti-
mated the total damage by forest fires in
the Northwest this year will be $500 600.
Yesterday the flames swept upon the
settlement of Cedar Mills and left the
country barren. The people in some in
stances had hardly time to escape EX-
tensive fires are raging III Southern
Oregon and numbers of houses have been
burned. Some of the forest fires are the
work Of tramps. If they are not treated
well at any place they start fires out of
revenge. A number were run out of
Mclean 8 settlement in Southern Oregon
the other day, and taking to the woods,
they started fire 1t was discovered in
time and extinguished, and a posse
started after the tramps and captured
three. They were strung up for some
time and then let down and thrashed.

Terry created scene in court during the
reading of the decision, charging Justice
Field with being corrupt, and she re-
fused to remain quiet. Justice Field
directed that she be removed from court.
When deputy attempted TO carry out
the order Of the court she became in
vOlved in = personal quarrel with that
official and Judge Terry interfered draw
ing a dagger from his vest. He was
disarmed and both Terry and wife were
adludged in contempt and committed TO
Jail. In the meantime Justice Field re-
turned to washington TO resume his
duties on the bench, returning to this
city six weeks ago. Newspaper articles
were printed intimating that it would be
dangerous for Justice Field and Judge
Terry TO meet personally, as it was
thought the latter might insult the
former. while the fact was
also recognized that Justice Field would
be quick TO resent an attack from Terry
knowing it could only result fatally TO
one or the other, in view OF the latter's
record. If Judge Terry had intended to
provoke Justice Field and draw 8
weapon before the latter could turn is of
course not known as Deputy Maggie, who
sat opposite, prevented this by firing the
shot resulting in the instant death of
Terry.
Chief Of Police Crowly received a dis
patch from Chief Cunningham of Stock
ton TO arrest Judge Field and Deputy
Marshal Maggie on the arrival of the train
at Oakland. Capt. Lees at once left for
Oakland, and will take them into Gus
tody unless they leave the train at some
point along the road
TERRY IS HISTORY.
David s. Terry was born in Todd
county, Ky, in 1923. He served in the
Texas army under Sam Houston. He
came TO California in l849s and settled
in Calaveras county. In 1866 he was
elected justice of the supreme court of
California on the native American
ticket, and on the death of Chief Justice
hurry in 1857 Judge Terry became chief
justice. He was opposed to the vigilance
committee Of 1856. and stabbed one of the
members of the committee who had
attempted to arrest Maloney, friend
of Terry Is. Terry was held by
the vigilants but was afterwards re-
leased. He killed Senator BrodeTck in
1879 as a result of political differences,
Terry belonging to what was known as
the chivalTy wing of the Democratic
party. In 1880 Terry was defeated as a
Hancock electoT, although his associates
were elected. September s, 1888, he
was sent to jail for six months for con-
tempt Of court by Justice Field.

THE PHILADELPHIA TEST.
The Doctors skeptical, but Open to COnvIc-
ton.

tiOn.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 14.-The
resident physician S room at the Medical
hospital was crowded to-day with patients
whoseither had tried or were prepared to
try the Brown-Sequard method of treat
ment. Those who had tried it were not
in any sense carried away with it. To
man all the patients who have been
treated declined anything further in the
same line Among those were An
| drew Drummond, aged siXty-seven,
janitor of the college, and James Hen
derson, aged fifty-six, who were each
gwen an injection in the arm on Monday.
They were at to-day s clinics. Professor
Booming, the operating physician had
prepared q steriliZed solution of the
Brown -Sequard elixir. Professor Boen-
ming said to-day that the object Of the
experiments that were being made at the
college were simply to establish
whether the Brown-Sequard elixir Mad
the therapeutic properties that could be
recognized by their effects. He repeated
with emphasis that the faculty Of the
college were not committed to any belief
concerning it and would not apply it
otherwise than as an experiment on pa
tients, who were free to take 1t at their
personal risk After treating several
patients, the doctor asked if any of the
patients treated yesterday desired to
receive another injection to-day, but
there was not a solitary response. DR..
Booming announce that there would pc
no further public demonstration of the
Brown Sequard treatment at the Medical
chirurgical college after to-day. The
patients treated to-day would be heard
from privately. The doctor said that out
of fOrty-seven cases operated upon, five
of thep had developed abcesses. Alb
cesses, he said were not always injurious,
and very generally they were beneficial.
While he and his professional associates
were skeptioal as to the therapeutic merits
Of the so-called elixir, the doctor said
they were all open TO conviction if any
thing could be revealed to them to sus-
tain what has been ascribed to its RENE
dial power. All the patients who suffered
more or less deleterious effects from the
treatment were prescribed for. Tho two
newspaper men who undertook TO test
the elixir are recovering under the care
of DR.. Booming himself. One was very
much improved to-day and the other was
still confined to his bed. q

What Producer Has to Say of the Liverpool
Cotton Associations Letter.
CoRsIoANA, Tex, Aug. 10, 1892
To the Gazette.
In the matter of jute bagging the ed
itor of the Dallas News champions the
cause Of monopoly, as it Is wont on ali
occasions, as against the interests Of the,
farmers and producers generally. The
Dallas news is enthusiastically and sysA
tematically opposed to the interests Of
the masses from whom it derives its sup
port and without whose patronage it
would. pipe its last lay inside of twenty
four hours. Whatever measure the pub
lie is in favor of the News takes the OPP,
posite side, and whatever reform the
people advocate the aforesaid sheet is
sure to oppose. The News is consistent,
to say the least.
This mornings issue contains let4sr7
from the Liverpool cotton association,
British institution, to the New York cot
ton exchange, strongly protesting against
the adoption by American cotton produ-
GERS Of cotton wrappers to the exclusions

ging, - very weak but labored attempt
is made to convince the simplicity minded
cotton planter as to the sacred truths
contained in the letter from the English
cotton association = which was clearly
written in the interest of British jute
If the editor of the d. n. believes one
half Of what he says in the long winded
article of this morning, he is more grlli-e
bic than Digger Indian, and as greenas
a gourd. A natural-bOrn fool could
see the fallacy of the argument con-
tanned in both the letter and the editorial
indorsing it. The Interior motives which
prompted the former is apparent to the 8
most casual observer; it would be hard to
tell whether there was any motive be-
hind the latter.
A public be damned policy may work
all right tor awhile, but the farmers and
other Woodworking producers, big fools
though they may be, will catch on after
awhile. Very respectfully,
