tended note on the programme. Heidi not
need to do so, for the play does him credit.
It demonstrates his capacity to do dramatic
work far above the low-grade farces and
rough and-ready song and dance pieces
that first brought him into notice. a
Midnight Bell is an admirable picture of
life in q remote New England village,
among q sturdy, honest, but eccentric
people, of a class that has very often been
represented upon the stage. There is but
slight plot in the piece, but it is natural
and charming one. The characters are
capitally represented, and two of them are
taken by excellent actors familiar 70 the pub
lie and much liked-Mr. Richards, who was
the Stranger" in "a Hole in the Ground"
and Mr. Garfield, so well known as Rats. y
The comedy kept the audience in laughter,
hearty healthful laughter, that was fiue
tribute to the humor of the author, marred
only by little straining for effect and tes-
timony of the dramatic capacity of the
ladies and gentlemen who FL up the cast
of the play. There is not only capital
character acting in the comedy, but con-
slant flow OF clear, good sentiment. Now
and then are pathetic shadings, just enough
to relieve the humorous tone, and make
setting of the work more conspicuous. The
play was well mounted and the mechanical
effects admirably worked. In fact, the text,
cast, action and staging of "a Midnight
Bell' is a successful light comedy, and it is
easy to understand why is has so thorough
ly, yet easily, won its way. The piece will
be repeated this evening.

Percy Williams Shot Dead by Hack
man Named Smith.
FRESNO, October 3d.-Percy Williams of
Stockton was shot and instantly killed in
the bar-room of the Hughes Hotel at 4:30
o'clock this morning by jack Smith, a
hackman.
Smith and Williams had been gambling
and got into an alteration. Blows were
exchanged, and it is said that Williams
drew g revolver, shooting Smith in the
elbow. Smith almost simultaneously drew
a pistol and shot Williams through the
heart and he fell near the bar dead.
Smith was placed under arrest and Will
Jams body was taken in charge by the
Coroner. Williams is a brother of Tom
Williams the well-known horseman of
San Joaquin county. -Four shots in ali
were fired.
Williams was here attending the fair,
and is said to have lost heavily in pools
and gaming. Last night he began shaking
dice for money and drinking heavily. 1t is
said that he made threats against Smith
during the evening and that friends tried
to persuade him to go to bed. Finally
Smith and Williams went to the card
room and began playing seven up +" for
twenty-five dollars a side. Bud Breeder

played stood, Williams five and Smith six,
the latter dealing. Williams begged, and
Smith said I'll give you-no l can't do
that" but Williams in the meantime laid
down nine spot, which was high and
claimed the stake.
Both men jumped up from the table and
exchanged blows, but were separated by
their companions. who urged that they go
to the bar and take a drink. AS they
stepped up to the bar the quarrel was re-
newed, and Smith applied an offensive cpl
tibet TO Williams. The later drew his pis-
tol and fired two shots at Smith, one OF
wnicn struck him in the left forearm.
breaking the bones, and the other missing
him and lodging in the wall.
Smith at once drew and fired at Williams,
his first shot missing him. His second,
however, hit Williams near the right nip
pie and passed through the heart. Will
Jams fell dead Smith at once called for 9
surgeon, and subsequently surrendered
himself to officer Anderson.
When the Coroner took charge of Will
Jams body mis- pistol had disappeared, and
is supposed to have been removed by friends
of the deceased. There were but three or
four witnesses to the affray, and they are
very reticent. Smith, when interviewed by
an ErpOsitor reporter, refused to make any
statement.
At the Coroner's inquest the Deputy
Coroner testified that he had removed
Williams pistol from his hands. Three
chambers had been discharged, but there
was an undischarged chamber between
them.
DR.. Maupin testified as to the wounds,
the ball entering directly at the right nipple
and passing through the body.
Daniel Brown testified that the men had
been playing cards, and quarreled over the
game and quit.
When they went into the barroom Smith
continued to talk about the game and said
that he never would pay Brown the money
he had borrowed, and finally struck Brown
knocking him down. He then struck
Williams, and when Brown recovered his
feet the shooting was going on.

FERTILE SWAMP LANDS.
The Value of the Sacramento Basin Soil
When Reclaimed.

Inc talue Oh the SACRAMENTO BASIN SOIL
When Reclaimed.
In an editorial on the importance of re-
claiming the bottom or swamp lands along
the Sacramento river, the San Francisco
Bulletin says:
"There is large area of land along the
borders of California streams which, al
though capable of reclamation, has been
permitted to remain breeding places of ma
laria instead of being transformed into the
most productive farms in the State. What
such land can be made to produce is seen
in the case of some of the islands in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, which
have been dyked and cultivated. That the
great tule basins can also be turned to equally
productive purposes there can be no doubt,
and that they will be some day is certain.
But at present it looks as though the State
would have to wait for the pressure of pop
u!ation to bring about the great change
What reclamation can do is seen better
in Holland than in any other part of the
world. The work which would be neces-
sary to bring our tule basins under cultiva-
ton would be child's play compared with
the stupendous engineering feats which
have uncovered the bottom of the North
Sea. What has been done in that country,
its results and the character of the people
who have wrested the sites of their homes
from the waves, is wildly told in a letter
from Amsterdam, which will be found in
another column. There is much food for
thought in that communication, and many
hints that could well be acted on by the
people of California.
"The writer of the letter. DR.. Washing
ton NJ. Ryer, of this city, is an authority on
the subject of which he treats, and his ex-
perience in reclamation in this State has
peculiarly fitted him for the study Of the
question as it appears abroad. He has
demonstrated the fact that the reclaimed
lands of the Sacramento basin are among
the most fertile in the world. Not long ago
there was published in this paper bis views
as to the best way in which the surS,us
waters of the Sacramento could be disposed
of, which showed thorough knowledge Of

ing. In each of the plays trained horses
and dogs will take part. The st. Bernard
dog Jumbo, announced as worth $4,000,
will be a feature upon the stage.
Nothing is known here of the troupe,
except what is said of it by the Territorial
Enterprise of Virginia. New, which, in an
extended review, says the company is pre-
cisely what the bills represent it to be.
That paper speaks of the play as spirited,
full of intense action, llfe-like in their bor-
der scenes, and strong in comedy and va
riety lines. Arizona Joeis sharp-shooter,
and exhibits his ssill upon the stage as a
marksman and as rider also. The men,
bers of the company are represented by the
same journal to be competent throughout.
The trained animals employed are credited
as being remarkably intelligent aud filing

WOODLAND, October 3d.-Yesterday
morning at o'clock George Malcomb, an
employee in the distilling department of
Snavely & Bakers winery, turned on the
valve which conducts the cold juice into
the large copper still. which Immediately
exploded with a terrific report shattering
the brick foundation, scattering bricks and
timbers in every direction and staggering
Malcomb, who was within a few feet of
the retort when the explosion occurred.
The cause of the explosion was the fail
ure of the valve in what is known as the
goose neck TO open and permit the escape
of warm air in the retort at the same time
the cold Juice entered through the valve
turned on by Malcomb. Hot air and cold
Juice coming in contact caused the exl'lo-
sion, as their combined pressure which
was brought to bear upon the still is esti-
mated to have been upwards of 1900
pounds.
A large hole was torn in the still, the re-
pairing of which will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $500,
