Examining Our Defenses.

SAN Francisco, March 12.-In accord
ance with orders issued on Monday by
General Miles, an examination of San
Francisco, San Diego, San Pedro and
Santa Barbara will be made by artil-
lerists, under the command of Major L..
Haskins, First Artillery.
SAN Francisco, March 12.-The ex-
animation and reconnaissance of San
Francisco harbor will be made by Cap
tain Chamberlain assisted by Lieutenants
Todd, Shaker, White and Burr. For the
examination of the harbors of San Diego,
San Pedro and Santa Barbara, Lieuten-
ants Pope, Marsh, Sturgis and Peck
have been detailed under command of
Major Haskins. There are already charts
of these barbors, Typographical maps,
plans of defense, etc., but it is con-
sidered that, owing to changes in shoals
and channels. a survey is necessary at this
time. The examination will also include
detailed reconnaissance of all the ground
for possible defenses at the forts and
islands, and submarine topography as
well, with view to the suitable locations
of torpedoes as a means OF harbor defense.

town, in Fayette county, was terrorized
last night by party of armed masked
robbers who entered number of houses
and after torturing the inmates until
they gave up whatever money they had
in their possession, ransacked the
houses from cellar to garrett. The first
house entered was that of a farmer
named Anderson. The robbers de-
manded Anderson's money, and upon
protesting that he had none, they
placed hot Goals to his feet
and compelled him to give them thiIty
dollars, all the money he had. The
next place visited was Farmer Lilly's, q
short distance from Anderson's. The old
man said he had no money, and the des-
peradoes tied him to his bed and set fire
to it. Lilly begged for mercy, and finally
gave the robbers $3.50. He was then un-
bound and the fire extinguished. The
gang is believed to be the same that
robbed Farmer Core, of Franklin town.

residents OF Fayette county are greatly
excited, and armed searching parties will
be organized at once to capture the rob-

The Road Beats the Passenger.

SAN Francisco, March 12.-The Su-
preme Court to-day affirmed the decision
of the lower court in the case of B. O.:
Wright against the California Central
Railroad Company ct al. The action was
brought to recover damages for being put
off car by the defendants agents. On
July 26, 1887, Wright purchased a first
class round.trip ticket from Los Angeles
to San Diego and back. He took seat
in what is commonly termed chair car.
The conductor demanded 25 cents extra
fare of him, claiming that the car was a
special one and not included in the first
class accommodations. Wright argued
to the contrary and, upon refusing to
leave the car, was forcibly elected at
Azuea station. He sued for $25, 900 and
was non suited by the lower court.

THE BEEF wOOmBINE."
The Convention Opposed to 1t in a
Fog as TO What They Mnnt.


ST. LOUIS, March 12.-In the Conven-
ton of the Anti Beef Monopoly delegates
to-day, lengthy preamble and resolu-
tion was introduced by Albert Head, of
Iowa, reciting the evils of the Chicago
and other combines, and declaring that
as the State laws are inadequate to
wholly remedy the evils complained of,
Congress be requested to pass a law,
with adequate penalties, prohibiting any
corporation, company or individual from
entering into or becoming a party, pool,
combination, trust or confederation, for
the purpose of regulating, fixing or con-
trolling the price of beef, pork, grain or
other productions of the country; and
that the Interstate Commerce law be
amended so that it will work in harmony
with the law above requested Referred.
Craft of Illinois then offered a resolu-
ton as follows: Resolved that we
the existence OF meat and beef COM
bine' or trust, and its mode of opera
tion, and its effect upon the price of cat
tie and meat, for the purpose of basing
upon the finding of it such remedial
legislation as may be necessary that can
be lawfully enacted by the different
States. The object of this resolution, as
stated by the members of the committee
on rules, was to switch the convention
off into consideration of the question
whether such thing as beef trust"
or monopoly exists, and so divert atten-
tion from the announced purpose of the
gathering, namely, to recommend need
full legislation. The resolution went to
the committee.
Among other resolutions offered and
referred was one: "That this amend
ment memorialize Congress to make such
amendment to the Interstate Commerce
law as shall punish all interference or
by railroads in the trans
portation of beef or pork in any of its
FORMS" The Convention adjourned un-
til tomorrow morning.
1t is rumored tonight that the Legisla-
tive Committee has reached the conclu-
sion that it does not know what the Con
vention wants-information as to the ex-
istence OF beef and pork combine, or
legislation to check the growth of the
dressed beef trusts, of the existence OF
which the delegates are already aware.

The city will at once file an answer al

because the Legislature cannot fill offices
by appointment, and because the bills
had never'been signed by the Speaker OF

after their passage, as required by the
Constitution. 1t will take three weeks
to decide the question. 1t is probable
that similar action will be taken to test

MURDER MOST FOUL.
Editor Dawson Shot Through

A VILE RAKE THE MURDERER.
His Victim Reproved Him and Got

ing Looked for.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
CHARLESTON, S. c.. March 12.-Cap-
tain F. w. Dawson, editor of the NeUs
and Courier, and agent of the Associated
Press in this city, was murdered this
afternoon by T. 3. Mellow, a physician
of this city. 1t seems that Mellow,
who is married man and the father OF
a family, had been too familiar with a
Swiss maid in Captain Dawson's family
and Captain Dawson visited Mellow at
his Office, to demonstrate with him.
Words and blows followed, and the en-
counter ended in McDow's shooting
Captain Dawson through the heart. The
murderer then locked up his office and
went out. Three hours later he sur
rendered himself to the police author
tiles, when the body of the murdered
man was found lying in McDow's office.
The murder causes intense excitement,
and there is talk of lynching.
The murderer, who is married man
with several children, has the reputation
of being rake. Tonight the city is
wrapped in mourning and the murder is

of the town. The murderer was hurried
to Jail as soon as he had surrendered
himself, and, for the present, is safe
from lynching. The entire community
is incensed.
Captain Dawson came from England
in the early part of the late rebellion,
being then very young man, and
espoused the cause of the Confederacy.
He served through the war with dis
tinction, and since the close of
hostilities has been engaged in
journalism. For many years he has
been editor of the NeiVs and Courier and
one of the leading Democratic politicians
of the State. His journal was the most
powerful in the State, and supported all
the measures OF his party for obtaining
control of the Government of
South Carolina. Outside of politics,
Captain Dawson was active in promot-
ing the material welfare of the common
wealth, and when Charleston and other
South Carolina cities were visited by
continuous earthquakes he took promi-
nent part in raising funds for their
relief in the North. Captain Daw-
son achieved considerable distinction on
accounted his steadfast refusal, some
years ago, to engage in duel, in
response to a challenge from another
prominent citizen. He boldly an
nounced himself as opposed to duel
ing methods, and for this attitude
received endorsement from the Pope.
He was held in the highest respect, and
prominent citizens declare that his kill
ing must have been a deliberate and out
rageous murder.
