A San Francisco Couple Involved in
Serious Trouble.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 4.-Thos. Russell
and his wife Maggie were locked up in
the city prison last night, charged with
arson, in having set fire to their dwell
ing at No. IL Dore place. At the time
the fire was discovered, Mrs. Russell
rushed into the new city hall police
station and stated that her husband had
tried to burn her up with the building.
Mrs. Russell claims that her husband
came home intoxicated Wednesday
night and tied her down
on the bed and compelled
their little boy to cut her hair off.
After beating her, she claims, she sent
her child to the house of friend next
day, and was preparing to leave him.
He came home yesterday afternoon in
an intoxicated condition and threw her
on the bed, and covering her with the
bedclothing, saturated the clothing
with coal oil and set fire to the whole,
holding her until the fire had gained
considerable Roadway. He then ran
away.
After examining the building, Fire
Marshal Towe ordered the woman I'M
der arrest. Her husband was arrested
a short time afterward He claimed he
was delivering a load of drugs at the
depot at the hour the fire occurred, and
enters general denial of all the allega-
tons of his wife.
Mrs. Russell has been in the city
prison number of times. She married
Russell, who is teamster, about year
ago. A thorough investigation will be
made. Russell is said to be worth con-
siderable money.

ABRUPTLY ENDED.



WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE proposed
investigation of the Office of General
Dumont, supervising inspector of steam
vessels, appears to have come to an
abrupt end. The reference of the reso-
luton introduced by Representative
Flower, back to the committee on rules,
is probably the last of it. Last Monday
when General Dumont, the supervising
nspector-general, was before the COM
mittee on merchant marine and fisher
les, which had been given charge of the
investigation, it was discovered that the
charges were not signed. Mr.. Flower was
sent for and asked by the committee if he
wanted to take the responsibility for the
charges, and he replied he did not;
that he knew nothing about them ex-
cept that certain Mr.. Hustled came to
him with letter of recommendation
and introduction from George L. Nor
ton, editor of the Marine Journal, and
claimed to represent the Grand Harbor
Brotherhood of Pilots, consisting of SO,
600 licensed pilots, who complained of
persecution by General Dumont. Gen
eral Dumont disputed the authority OF
either Hustled or Norton, and wrote to
Captain Tuthill, grand captain of the
Grand Harbor. A reply was received
from Tuthill in which he said
Hustled was not known to him
and did not represent the Grand
Harbor at all. He said further there
were no complaints from the Grand
Harbor, but there was some grumbling
among half a dozen disgruntled men in
Harbor No. 1. Yesterday General Du-
mont wrote an official letter to Mr..
Flower, quoting the letter of Tuthill,
and stating that Horton was persistent
and bitter enemy of his (Dumont's) be-
cause he had refused to pass some ac-
counts which Mr.. Norton had insisted
should be passed.

pany Sued for Sc, 100000.

pany Sued for $2, 100000.
SAN Francisco, Oct. An. W. Fox
has filed an amended complaint against
the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining COM
pany and the directors thereof. to re-
cover $2,100,000. The complaint sets
forth that the Chollar or Nevada mill,
the Vivian and Mexican mills, located
near Virginia City, Nevada, have crushed
since January l, 1887, not less than SO, 900
tons of gold and silver, bearing ore of
the value of $3,250, 900. 1t is charged
that the defendants were owners of a
large number of shares OF capital stock
of said mills, and with the aid of the use
of the stock of other owners, elected a
board of directors of the Hale d Nor
cross, who conspired to defraud the lat
ter company by crushing all the ore ex-
tracted from said mine in said mills.
The complaint sets forth that valuable
real estate was purchased in this city
and in Alameda county out OF the money
obtained by reason OF the alleged fraud
ulent practices.

CINCHING A DEADBEAT.
General A. L. Harris Brother in Serious
Complications.

=
FRESNO, Oct. 3.-John G. Deuel., an
attorney of this city, has filed COM
plant in Justice Hogue's court, against
s. r. Hart, lawyer. The plaintiff al
leges that on the 10th of August, 1890,
Mr.. Hart asked for loan of So, stating
he would return it when the bank
opened next morning. Plaintiff having
no change gave defendant 500 and asked
that he return the balance.
Mr.. Hart took the 500 and has not since
returned the change nor the IS. Plain
tiff asks for judgment for 500 and that
the judgment may set forth and declare
the defendant guilty of fraud, and that
the defendant may be imprisoned until
the debt is satisfied. John M. Ryan has
filed similar complaint in the same
court, also alleging crooked methods of
Mr.. Hart in obtaining $50 entrusted to
his (Ryan's) keeping. The defendant is
brother of Gen. A. l.. Hart, of Sacra-
mento.

Saturday with the Cheyennes and

The Indians at present take little in

The Farmers Alliance is not a
political organization and will not be
made one if those who are thorough
~ IN earnest in the work can prevent
it but is an association of farmers to
meet the many organizations that are
formed all over this country to bleed
them.
These farmers organized under the
head of Alliances are demanding that
the old !political parties pass such
laws as will put them on an equal
with the man with his millions; they
demand that the law making power
of this country pass such laws as will
give them some relief from their pres
ent oppression which exists in many
different forms. They are organic
ing themselves for this work under
the head Of Farmers Alliance" and
claiming that they do not intend to
form a separate political party, but
will demand of the two great parties
of this country just recognition in the
framing Of laws, in the appointments
to positions Of honor and trust, and
the breaking up of all kinds of rings
and trusts, both financial and politi-
cal. The political party which re-
fuses to listen to their appeals will
make a sad mistake, and if both of
the great political parties ignore them
they will be driven to the formation
of a new party and will be followed
by a large number Of mighty good
men from both parties. Speculation
in grain and the other products Of the
farmer and the many other evils akin
to that practiced by the money sharks
Of the east, which keeps the nose of
the farmer on the grind stone, must
! be stopped, and if neither the Repub-
licsn or Democratic parties will
stretch out their strong arms in the
defense Of the producing classes, then
they will soon have strength enough
to reach out IN their own strength
and not only throttle the giant evils
themselves, but the parties which re-
fused them assistance as well. Smith

SENATOR STANFORD, IN presenting
his resolution to the senate Monday,
relative to the government loans on
real estate, said, IN part: If the farm
or was able to borrow from the gov
eminent, without interest, a certain
amount, giving his farm as security
therefore, to that extent his land
would become an active force and he
would be enabled while giving en-
pIoyment. to the extent Of the money
loaned him, to improve his farm aud
increase its value to the full amount
Of the loan. Thus the government
loan would be doing double duty.
The activities Of this money do not
terminate with its expenditure by the
farmer. Those who have received it
IN their turn will make use of it as an
energlzIng factor in the forces of life
to an indefinite period An abundant
supply Of money, means to individu-
ais of capacity, a field for the use of
their abilities in prosecuting their
various calIings Of life. In my opin-
ion ample protection would be afford
ed the government if it limited its
loan to one-half or one-fourth the as
sessed value of the property given as
security, and upon the appralsement
of the government officers especially
selected for the duty. It seems to me
! the great thought of humanity should
be how to give advantages to the
| great multitude of toiIers to increase
their power of production and elevate
their condition. We know that a
| great improvement is within the pro
visions of providence. and the pros
perity of the masses and the prosper
| ity Of all is assured. The one more
! effective means of placing at mans
disposal, forces inherent in the value
| of property, is thoroughly furnishing
a plentiful supply Of money loaned
on unQuesIoned and secure values

FORTY women physicians were re-
Gently graduated from a Woman's
Medical College in Philadelphia. It
Is not many years since there was a
deep-seated and senseless prejudice
8gains women as doctors. The pre-
JUDGE operated in two ways: By de
terring intelligent young women from
taking up the study of medicine, and
by making it difficult for graduates
to find an opportunity to practice their
profession, The comparatively few
women who had the courage to IN
dertake the study of medicine were
grossly insulted, snubbed and sub
jected to indignities by the male
students and often the professors of
the institutions which they attended,
and many obstacles were thrown in
their way. But they went bravely on
graduated, and the great majority OF
them have succeeded splendidly IN
their practice. The prejudice against
women doctors has been in great part
overcome. 1t has been shown that
they make good doctors, and are cap
able Of doing a work in the field OF
medicine which none others can do
as well, and In this society is a sub
stsntial gamer.
