rp.cial Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL,

SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 15.-Antone Lujan,
or Lujor, charged with murder for having
fatally stabbed Enueseto Pargalini on the
afternoon of August oath, was arrested to-
day under very peculiar circumstances.
About l o'clock to-day he came to town
and after wandering around for some time,
made inquiries If a number of people about
the location of the Sheriff's Office. saying he
had cause to 60 there. Shortly after he
made his appearance at the Courthouse and
Mt TO the second floor and sat doNn.
Some time after District Attorney
Angelotti, whose Office is on the second
fl or, encountered Lujan leaning on the
baustrade, He accosted him as to his bust
ness, and the reply was that he wan ted TO
See about a cutting scrape. When asked
his name ne said Antoine 1ujan. When
Angellottl heard the name he called for
Sheriff Fallon, who took the murderer into
custody.
THIS afternoon the prisoner was brought
before Justice Dutficy and charged, and his
case continued till Friday. In an interview
he'd with the prisoner he stated that after
the cutting he went to his cabin, changed
his clothes and started for the ocean beach,
wandering around there for some time.
During the day he slept in the dense growth
of underbrush with which that section
abounds, and Mt night he walked the beach.
Luiau says that he was almost starved, sub
sislng entirely on what Wild berries he could
find and what fruit he could pOach along
the road. For three days past he had eaten
scarcely anything. He stated that he had
seen several persons during his contine-
ment, but that he was so securely cached
that 1t was almost an impOssibility TO find
him. Hunger beginning to tell upon him,
and not realizing that his victim had died
from the effect Of his wounds, lie deter
mined to surrender himself.
lie then started across the hills to San
Rafael. lie AYERS that not once did he travel
On the country roads. So famished was he
on his Incarceration that the regular ratiOns
of the Jail were not sufficient to appease his
appetite, and additional ratiOns had to be
furnished him. In regard to the killing,
Lujan claims to have little knowledge, say
ing that he was very drunk at the time.

sts+s 1ibrarv Force IN Be Reduced.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. ia small bomb
shell was exploded in the State Library this
morning, when State Librarian Perkins
called into his private office Mrs. South
worth, Miss NJ. E. Hogan. William Hanlon
and William Habrahan, and notified them
that after Saturday next their services will
not be required. The deposed employees OF
the library were Informed that the Library
Trustees had, at a meeting held on Septem-
Der Sth, passed a resolution requiring that
the office force should be reduced. There
have beed rumors, which may now fructify
into something tangible, that the law has
not been complied with since the beginning
of the new Administrations. 1t is stated that
Deputy w. S. Leak has been drawing regu-
larry monthly salary of $500, when the law
prescribeS his compensation to be $50; that
Librarian Perkins has not acted rs Secretary
of the Board of Trustees, but intrusted that
duty to Leake, and that the Librarian almost
totally ignores the law prescribing the time
and attention he shall give TO the business
of the library. 1t is charged that the library
has been resolved into a close corporation,
with arbitrary rules and that it appears to
be run in the interest of few individuals
who are working it for everything In sight.

FIELD OF LABOR.
LabOr.Day Fines Puzzling Some
of the Unions.

It will be remembered that a number of
the labor organizations undertook to enforce
the recognition of Labor day by imposing
fine on all members who refused or neglected
to participate in the parade. The day of
reckoning is now at hand and some Of these
organizations find themselves with white
elephant on their hands,
One of the first 10 face the situation was
the Harness-makers' Union. anil it spent
good part of last evenings meeting 'wrest-
ling" with the vexatious question. Several
of the harness-makers found it Impossible to
"fall in line" on Labor day. as did hundreds
Of others, but the inevitable fine hung over
them Notwithstanding.
The pros and cons of the subject were dis
cassed at length, and the longer they were
discussed the more complicated the question
became. Finally, to dispose of the whole
matter amicably, it was decided to remit all
fines. There may have been some who
merited fine, but it promised to be such a
difficult task to separate the white and
black sheep that the attempt was given up.

FALLING IN LINE.
The Core-Mskers Will Next Join tho
Federated Trades.

The Core-Mskers Will Next Join the
Federated Trades.
The core-makers will follow the example
Of the iron-moders and seek admission into
the Council of Federated Trades. Applca-
tion VIII be made at the next meeting of the
council, and G. II. Langford and j. d.
Nolan were elected delegates to represent
them in that body. A donation was re-
ceived last night from the Federated Trades
of $50, and $40 SIS from the printers.
The core-makers seem to be very well
pleased with the separate recognition they
are now receiving in donations as we'll as in
other respects. Not that they had any fault
to find before with the division of the con-
tributions, but, coming as they did through
their sister union, the m0lders, it seemed to
deny them the individuality as a union that
they are justly entitled to.
The consequence was that the public lost
sight of the fact that there was such an or
ganization as the Core-makers' Union. Now
when contributions are made to assist this
notable strike, or it is in any way referred
to, the core-makers are mentioned with the
same emphasis that the lron-mOlderS are,
that is considering the proportion of mem-
berShip.

The box sawyers and nailers are in happy
frame of mind. Work is so good now that
union men enough cannot be found to fill the
places open for the III. As a consequence
many of the shops are obliged to run at
night and on Sundays. But the union con-
dones an act of this character under the cir

Another Of the gratifying phases of the

Quents who, wearied of the unions re-
strictions, fell by the wayside from time to
