FELL IN THE DARK.

An Accident Last Night That Might Have
Resulted Seriously.
Last evening an elderly man named
George Schmidt, who resides on Third
street, between K and L, left the City Lii
brary building and started up toward Sew
enth street. Workmen had been engaged
in repairing the sidewalk there, and the
railing on the inner side had not been re-
placed. The night was quite dark, and
Mr.. Schmidt walked off the edge of the
sidewalk and fell some twelve or fifteen
feet upon a lot of old cans and other rub
bish in the vacant lot at that point.
A couple of gentlemen who heard his
calls for help went and helped him out
upon the street and to mis- residence. He
was badly shaken up, but apparently no
bones were broken.
1t was a careless piece of business for the
sidewalk to have been left without a guard
rail, and it is fortunate for the city, per-
haps. that Mr.. Schmidt had not some OF
his limbs broken.

1t has been developed that the young
man who was found mangled by the rail-
road track near Antelope, on Tuesday, was
Frank Becker. His family lives on Suffer
aud Leayenworth streets, San Francisco.
The young man was tailor by trade, and
visited his sister in this city about five
weeks ago. He was a Californian. and not
an Italian. His friends and family are at
a loss to account for his death.

oner Clark on the body OF the deceased,
George W. Becker, brother of the deceased,
was present, and said that the latter had
been employed in San Francisco as coat
maker. He was Is years of age.
The jury returned verdict of accidental

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Clunie Opera House was packed last
night with an audience preferring mere
amusement to entertainment. Hoyt's farce
comedy, "A Brass Monkey" was played
by large and competent company led by
c. II. Drew and Flora Walsh, both well and
favorably known here in low comedy and
bUrlesque. 1t is the best of Heyt's farces.
That it was frowned upon by the San Fran
cisco papers, while they praised his earlier
productions, can be accounted for only
upon the hypothesis that the extravaganza
raps the press sharply over the knuckles
for sin of commission-the padded inter-
view. Mr.. Hoyt has not at all exaggerated
the method of the sensational interview
ers, the Paul Prys of the press, who are
chargeable with most of the disfavor that
has been manifested towards newspapers.
He very sharply styles them Guerillas OF
journalism, who by their outrages upon
truth and decency have managed to create
more or less prejudice against an honorable
profession Gn which they occupy only the
place of miserable hangers-on), and have
made the approach of the interviewer more
terrible than the coming of a pestilence.'
The farce has in il more body and substance
and more of real humor than its predeces-
sors from the same pen. There is consid-
cradle very pretty music in it; not great
deal of specially" business, but enough.
1t is vivacious N action, has two or three
touches of tender sentiment, is free from
promiscuous love-making, and has any
amount of ridicule for signs, omens and
superstitious habits, and as a whole is
step upward in the manner of connecting
farces of the order that Mr.. Hoyi.. has made
rebound TO the credit of his purse. "a
Brass Monkey" will be repeated tonight,
and with its music, pretty women, keen
hits and sustained merriment will again
fill the house.
Friday and Saturday evenings, at the
Sixth-street NJ. E. Church, 'The Jinglers'
will give concerts for the benefit of the
Fourteenth-street Presbyterian Church.
The troupe consists of six colored jubilee
singers, four men and two women-G. L.
Conlev, the shouting tenor, of Kentucky;
Ian Edwards, a tenor soloist, of Kansas;
G. w. Malley, the Lion Bass" of Vir-
GINA; ]. A. Porter, first bass, of Tennessee;
Neal Hawkins, first soprano, of Canada,
and Fannie Clunn, contralto, of Washing
ton The members of the troupe have been
connected with the singing companies of
the Hampton Students, Nashville Ideals,
Calendars Mipstrels, Donovan's Tennes-
seeans and Garfield University Students.
They gave concerts during the recent Chau-
tauqua Assembly at Pacific Grove Retreat,
with great success, and in San Francisco,
Los Angeles, San Diego and other places
have received the warm commendation of
the press for musical capacity and voices of
a superior order. The programme is varied,
with jubilee songs, choruses, quaitets, imi-
tations, sentimental songs and selections of
airs of popular character.

ANOTHER DEFEAT.
Little Rhode Annuls the Prohibitory Con-
stitutional Amendment.

PROVIDENCE, Il. l., June 20.-Rhode
Island today voted on a proposed article
VIII of the amendments to the constitu-
ton. The article is brief one. 1t reads:
ARTICLE Y of the amendments OF the con-
stitution Of this state is hereby annulled. "
Article V reads: 1.-THE manufacture and
sale Of intoxicating liquors to be used as a
beverage shall be prohibited. The general
assembly shall provide by law for carry
ing this article into effect"
The battle that resulted in the adoption
of this latter article was successfully
fought for prohibition in the spring OF
1886. Today Rhode Island took what the
prohibitionists like to call a backward
step" and knocked the prohibition amend
ment out of the constitution. 1t took a
three-flfths vote TO do it.
The day was bright and cool and a huge
vote was polied.
The vote at 10 o'clock in this city was:
Approved, $3.50; rejected, 1,716 News
from the towns show majOrities for ap-
prOvaL.
The fifth amendment to the constitution
of Rhode Island, the prohibitory amend
ment, was today repealed by vote of
5,449 more than the three-tlfths of the total
The total vote is: Approve 2S,449; reject
1853
In 1856 when the amendment was adopt
ed the vote, which was about IA coo small
or, stood: Approve Is, ll3; reject 1920. The
vote will be officially collected on or before
July Is and will be announced by procla-
nation on or before July 20

THE MECHANICS, CONVENTION.

NIAGARA FALLS, n. Y, June 20.-This
mornings session Of the convention OF the
American railway master mechanics as
ISOLATION opened with the reading of the
report of the committee on driving and
engine truck boxes, best form and mate
rial, including journal bearing and man
ner of fastening same in box" Then fol-
lowed discussion on the subject. Presi-
dent Sinclair favored brass or bronze
boxes, citing the experience of the New
York elevated roads. j. n. Lander,
of the Old Colony, favored a cast
iron box with a brass shell. Mr.. Ram
sey of the Illinois Central, found good sat-
isfaction from the use of driving box
with a crown piece and two side pieces, the
rest being filled with babbtt metal.
The committee on exhaust pipes and
nozzles, ETC., failed to report, and they
were continued for another. The report
of the committee on boiler covering, best
method and material to prevent radiation
of heat" was next taken up. Mr.. Ora
ham, of the Lake Shore, said they used
asbestos next to the boiler and felt over
the fire-box in their engines. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie, of the Nickle Plate, thought that
the objection to this was that the cabs
would be very cold during the winter.
Mr. Lander thought the GOODNESS of the
cab was the principal point in favor Of the
method.

FOREIGN DRY GOODS

MANCHESTER, June 19.-The Guardian,
in its commercial article, says:
THE market is inactive. Few sellers
have done an average business. Bombay
kilograms report favorable rains. This a
most hopeful feature in the India trade.
There have been fair inquiries for numer-
Gus classes of goods for most Indian ports,
but few of them have led to actual bust
ness. The inquiry for China is trivial.
There is moderate demand at current
rates for other directions, although some
orders for the colonies. South Amer
lean and other smaller foreign
markets are steadily received. The
home trade is buying lightly. The sales
OF export yarns has been light. The east
ern trade is mostly neglected. A few
small orders have been executed for the
continent and the Mediterranean. The
cloth trade is fiat. India merchants have
orders for shirtings. jaconets, sheetings
and the finer qualities both for Shipment
gray and for bleaching, but the figures Of
fered are generally insufficient. Prices
rule fairly steady. Occasionally manu-
facturers are disposed to yield trifie
Common to medium prints and furnishing
cloths are steady. Heavy goods are firm. !"

NORTHWEST FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 20.-The
Northwestern Miller today SAYS: The mills
averaged nearly 10, 000-barrel gate for the
six days last week, sixteen of them con-
Iributing 10 this result. The aggregate
-four output was IL, 700 barrels, averaging
Is, 165 barrels daily, against 100, 100 barrels
the week before and III, 400 barrels for the
corresponding time in 1883. A firm which
had arranged to place 1,S00 barrels moro
capacity in operation Monday at the
last moment revered its decision, and
SO, with one mill of 1900 barrels product
- taken from the operative list of a week
ago, there is a trlfle less flour being ground
now than at that time However, many
of the mills are being crowded harder, as
a result OF more or less accumulation of
orders, end few of them are getting in a
full week work, whereas they ran short
time before. But the lack of water power
may once more figure as factor. Last
week, particularly Thursday and Friday,
there was quite drop in the
stage of water, and this, together
with no floating bark, caused several
of the mills considerable bother. So
far the current week the supply of water
has been very good, recent rains no doubt
having had some effect on the river but
the old difficulty of short power is expected
TO figure to a greater or less extent from
now on, especially II the mills should run
very strong. There have been quite liberal
sales of flour during the past week, some
firms reporting the acceptance of orders
equal TO double their output. Nearly
all have sold in excess OF their current
product, but il seems to have been done
largely at old prices. and apparently
the trade Is not now taking the flour very
freely at the 25c advance asked. A good
many of these orders have been filed from
stored supplies, and it is argued that the
market will now be much more sensitive
10 any increased demand than heretofore.
The stocks of middlemen are admitted
10 be very low, and orders coming in
are now for prompt shipment, in some in
stances being large enough TO warrant the
belief that there il desire 10 provide for
the future. Sales have been made at a ia
advance, and offers are nearer the views of
manufacturers. Local firms have supplies
on the other side of the water and are able
10 make spot sales quite acknowledgements.

THE "VALkYRIE"

LONDON, June 2O-Lord Dunraven and
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Kerr, in an inter-
view today, declared that the Valkyrie
fully answered their expectations. She
had proven eminently superior to crack
yachts on all points-in running before the
wind, in sailing to windward and in run
ming half free. She had also impressed
them with the idea that she would ex-
hibit speed and excellent sea-going quail
ties in very heavy weather; in fact that
she would prove equally good in heavy and
light weather.
1t was hard lines, they say, to be robbed
of a race by fiuky winds. The Valkyrie
will sail today for liverpool, and will race
from that port to the Clyde. She will
then sail for New York. They were con-
fident that the Volunteer would be selected
to defend the American cup. They would
themselves sail in the Valkyrie in the race
for the cup. They believed that the Val
kyrie would win, and especially if, as was
most likely, moderate weather prevailed;
In a gale, however, the Volunteer would
naturally have an advantage. They
would not use the center board.

RAIl Road TAIk

CHICAGO, June 20-Chairman Walker,
Foithorn and Finley, forming the execu-
tive board of the Interstate Commerce
Railway association, received two appeals
today from the Texas Missouri association.
One of them referred to the divisions of
live stock rates on traffic for points in
Colorado west of Leadville to the Missouri
river, the Denver & Rio Grande and the
Colorado Midland roads being the princi-
pal ones concerned. The other appeal was
in reference to rates on building stone
from Colorado points to Missouri river
points, some lines contending that the
ought to be 20 cents. Both cases were
taken under adYisement. Some more ap-
pealS will be heark tomorrow.
1t seems an assured fact that Chairman
Albert Fink, of the Trunk Line com
mittee, has finally resigned for good. Il
is believed that he is anxious to 90 to
Europe again and recuperate. He has
been greatly overworked, and since his
return from Europe has lost twenty
pounds His health is greatly impaired,
although he is troubled with no serious
disease. If he would stop all work and
give himself time to laugh once in a
while he would be all right. There is no
necessity for his working continuously
and worrying as he does, for ne is worth at
least greater part of s., 000 900.
Tho principal name to he mentioned as
as a successor to Mr.. Fink is, of course,
Mr.. Blanchard, who is the best man in
every respect that could be secured. He
would be sure to secure the favorable at
tention of every eastern line except the
Erie

BURGLARS AT LINCOLN,

LINCOLN, Neb., June 20.-Last night
burglars entered the house of NJ. d. Welsh,
on G street, and succeeded in gathering up
considerable blunder. Welsh Is a dealer
in fine carriages and agricultural imple-
ments, but has no office down town. He

burglars blew this open and found some
jewelry, silverware, a ticket just pur-
chased for Mrs. Welsh, who expected to
