TELEPHONES ABROAD.
More Costly in Europe Than In Pittsburg,
Though Employees Are Paid Less-some

More Costly in Europe Than In Pittsburg,
Though Employees Are Paid Less-some
Comparisons.
Harry Metzgar. General Manager of the
Central District Printing and Telephone
Company, of Pittsburg, has arrived from a
four months tour in Europe, greatly i'm
proved in health, and chock full of COM
parsons of men, things, events, environ
ment, etc. He was asked last night to give
his views of the respective merits of tele-
phonic service, etc., in the Old and New
Worlds
Mr.. Metzgar visited London, Dublin,
Glasgow, Antwerp, Paris, Berlin, Vienna,
Frankfort and Buda-Pesth and examined
the telephone system in all these cities.
Except in London, Paris, Dublin and Ant
werp, he did not find the telephone in use
to the same extent as in this country
Time, generally speaking, is not valued so
highly in Europe as in the Unitrd States
Except in Paris, the wires are overhead
though there are no poles in the streets, the
wires being affixed to the housetops In
PARIS they are placed in the sewers.
He could not say whether business houses
made as much use of the instrument as in
this country; but private people do not in
the old country use this means of communi-
cation so generally as here, nor do small
dealers.
Rates of service differ, but in all places
are higher than in Pittsburg. In London
and Paris they are S120 wear. In Antwerp
the charge is about 500 year. This itself
would be sufficient explanation of the fact
that the use of the instrument is not so gen.
eral as here.
The plan of operation is the same as here
EXCEPT in Paris where metallic circuits are

SUFFERS FORT.
BIRD's-EYE VIEW OF THE HISTORIC
SPOT IN 1s4S
Carefully Prepared Data in Regard to
Its Occupancy at That
Time.
Sacramento Themis, Nov. %, 1889 ]

Sacramento Themis, Nov. %, 1889
Themis has collected such evidence OF
the actual status of Suffers Fort as is ac-
cessible, and we lay before our readers in
this number the best views Of that historic
place extant. We have chosen as the time
the year 1S4S, and the first cut is a BIRDS
eye view as it then appeared. The eye is
supposed to be elevated seventy feet, and
to be about one eighth of mile distant
from the entrance.
The second view is a ground plan of SUIT
ter's Fort, as it then appeared, connected
with plan of the streets of Sacramento
where they interSect the walls of the fort.
These plans have been prepared with great
care by c. E. Grunsky, civil engineer, who
has made accurate surveys of the locality
and assisted US in collating the evidence
from which the diagrams have been made
"a on diagram represents the southeast
bastion, 20x20 on the outside, 10X10 on the
inside, walls five feet thick for lower story,
three feet for upper story; the rooms of
both stories eight feet in the clear. The
lower story was used by Captain Suffer as
a prison for incorrigibles. The entrance 10
that prison was through heavy oak door
from room d. The upper story was
reached by rough stairs, also from room d.
The guns mounted in that bastion before
1874 were removed in 1916 and mounted
on carriages in the yard of the fort, and
from 1916 to 1919 the upper story was used
as receptacle of old iron, discarded guns,
etc. Room marked D on diagram was
wholly dark when the door to it was
closed. This room, 17x17, was only opened
by Captain Suffer or under his instructions.
1t was used by him as a storeroom, and
through it were the entrances to the two
rooms of the southeast bashon.

The white people at The fort had some

The white people at the fort had some
! knowledge of common law proceedings and
| determined that Picket should be tried for
| murder. Accordingly, they assembled in
| room marked K on plat and proceeded to
| elect by ballot Judge to sit at the trial.
Suffer had some votes for that responsible
position, but large majority voted for
Sam Brannan and he took his seat on the
bench. a jary of eight was impaneled to
try the case. Our informant can only re-
member the names of three Of them:
Thomas Shaddon, Martin Murphy and
John Ames.
Picket pleaded his own case and Brannan
acted as Judge Advocate.
The trial came off the afternoon OF the
day Of the killing. Picket insisted that be
was an American citizen, and, as such, en-
titled to bear arms, and Brannan decided
that his two reyolvers should be returned
to him, and they were placed on the table
during the trial Picket was very nervous
during the trial, as the Court, including the
Jury, were mainly strangers, and he was
not wholly without fault.
Brannan charged the jury that this was a
country governed by Law, and that breaches
of the law should be punished. But he said
if the jury found the prisoner guilty and
determined to punish by Imprisonment,
lQ6r6 was III pllSCn III AC COuiu NC
confined.
The case was submitted to the jury about
10 P. NJ and they deliberated till near
morning, when they returned verdict of
not guilty, and Picket was discharged.
~ This room in 1S47-S was furnished
by Suffer as q bedroom. and occupied by
German friend named Unkenberger.
IN" This room, 15x17, was at first used
as blacksmith shop, and afterward turned
into boarding house for men connected
with the labor at the mill.
Rooms n and n, 17x17 each, were at first
occupied as store-rooms for tools. etc., and
afterwards occupied by VIM. Campbell as
boarding house.

trance to the northwestern bastion, through
a door into the lower story, and by stair
way into the upper story. Second as a
four-mill the motive power of which was

partly outside the room. The millstones
were of granite The miller was an In
