George Nelson win To-Day be Liberated

George Nelson Will To-Day be Liberated
From Folsom Prison.
1t was determined by Governor Water
msu yesterday to to-day grant pardon to
George Nelson, the man who was convicted
and sent TO the Stale Prison for highway
robbery that he did not commit.
A petition was laid before the Governor
by Warden AulI, signed by himself. Dis
trict Attorney Bruner, Sheriff McMullen
and Superior Judge Armstrong. The testi-
mony taken at the trial, also copy of
Shinn's confession, as published in the
RECORD. UNION, we're submitted 10 Gov
ernor Waterman.
Beside these documents there was a let
ter, recently found, which was written
about the time the trial took place, con-
tanning full description of the watch
taken from Cownie at the time of the rob-
berry, which corresponds exactly with the
watch recovered from Thorn and Shinn.
The other watch-the one taken from
Davis, who was with Cownie-was lately
recovered in Chicago and is now on the
way to this State.
1t was learned asteyening that Governor
Waterman had become thoroughly con-
WINGED az Nelson's innocence, and that he
would pardon him today
Fortnaassiy ~fsz Nelson, the yislature
will meet within two months, aad there is
little doubt thst that body wsll promptly
appro 5siste money 70 repay hu as far
as possible, for the inJusuce lie has
suffered through all unfortunate mistake.
Similar cases have occurred in the past,
and one is recalled in which the Legisla-
ture allowed the injured person So Per day
for all the time he was IN Jail. Such an
allowance in the case of Nelson would
give him respectable sum of money with
which to take up the broken thread Of his
life as freeman.

ADJUSTMENTS.


There was good house at the Metropoli-
tan last night. The Hanlon-Voiter Mar
tinetti troupe appeared in a new and very
pleasing programme, with but two excep-
tons a complete change from that first
presented here. The finest features last
evening were the slack-wire and juggling
act of Mile. Apgeline. the very superior
xlyophone trio by three OF the Wurten-
berg family, and the ladder act of Rode Leo
Rafalo. 1t was feat in equilibrism sur
passing anything ever given here, feat
that has been attempted by many and &C.
complished by few. The performer places
twenty-five foot ladder at the footlights
and goes up and down it, front and back
alternately to the rails, without any sup
port whatever being given to prevent the
ladder falling. He rocks it gently, to aid
the preservation of the equilibrium, but
beyond that has no aid. The act, Man
ager Drew explains, was cut short by boys
in the gallery shaking the safety rope
stretched to catch the ladder in case of ac-
cident. This disconnected the performer.
Nevertheless, it was wonderfully we'll
performed feat, and caps anything of that
order ever attempted here.

ANYTHING about it, Judge Henry could dc
nothing but release the prisoner.

KNOCKED OUT.
Pugilist Bill Hall Accused of Gathering
Woman NTH a Reer Mur

Pugilist Bill Hall Accused of Gathering q
Woman with q Beer Mug.
A speck of war dimmed the horizon o.
the Darktown quarter of L street last night
About halfpast 10 o'clock couple o.
ebony-hued females showed up at the po'
lice station in hopeless search OF warrant
for the arrest of Bill Hall, the colored gen.
tleman who divides his time between black.
ing boots and prize fighting.
One of the women had cheek that
looked as if it had come in contact with the
heel of mule She said that few min
utes before she was in the Darkroom of
Peter Rcssi's L-street dive. Hall was there,
and one or two women beside herself. He
had some words with one of the women,
and finally turning to herself said she was
the one VINO had been making trouble be-
tween him aud bis woman.
With that, she says, Hall picked up a
beer mug and sent it with all the force of
his muscular right arm against her jaw. 1t
didn't break, and he was about to repeat
the act when one of Der female compan-
ions grapped the mug and prevented him
from throwing it.
Although there was no one at the police
station authorized to issue warrant-and
the officer on that beat refused TO make the
arrest without one-she said she would get
one this morning "for the heightened
pugilist."

street, that the owners of property fronting
on such alley might derive the benefit OF
the one. fourth payment, was not according
to the opinion of Hon. A. P. Catlin. vested
in the Board of City Trustees. The bill
in question amounted to $4lS 80, and there
were number of other alleys now being
improved, and if one-fourth of the cost was
to be paid by the city, the amount would
reach several thousand dollars, and such
expenditure would be q Misrepresentation
of the fund.
In conclusion Mr. Mckee stated that he
would refuse to draw q warrant in favor OF
A. L. Rosa for one.fourth of the cost of
improving the alley between Fifth and
Sixth, and K streets.
Trustee Mclaughlin remarked that it
might be law, but was not justice, and he
would like to hear an opinion from Judge
Catlin on the matter.
No action was taken by the Board in the
matter.

WOMEN IN SALOONS.

The Pastors Union Discusses the New
and Increasing Local Evil.
The City Pastors Union held its regular
meeting in the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION Hall yesterday morning. There
were twelve ministers present, also G. n.
Crittenton of New York City, who is now
conducting revival services in this city.
The discussion of the best method of
preventing young girls from visiting sa-
looms, and how to reform them, was gen.
orally discussed.
A positive line of action was decided
upon, and committee was appointed on
ways and means, to report at the next
meeting. The pastors thought the only
way to break up the habit vas by reaching
these persons with the gospel and regsne-
rating them.
Mr. Crittenton, the founder of the Flor
ence Night Mission of New York City for
fallen women, addressed the union, stating
that from his experience the first step to-
ward the position of a fallen woman was
saloon drinking and gave it as his judg-
ment that, unless checked, saloon drinking
by women would eventually lead TO their
utter ruin.
Rev. Mr. Falstedt of the Swedish Meth
odist Church, was elected member of the
union.

Probably no portion of the highly civil
lied world is as little known as Australia,
TO the people of California. Our citizens
will have historical and descriptive lee
ture on the "Great South Continent" at
the Congregational Church, next Friday
night, by Thomas B. Merry, an old Sacra-
mentan, now residing in Oregon. He was
employed on the local stsff of the old
UNION in 1868 Ga, and edited the Bee in
1865. during the latter year of the elder
McClatchy's term as Sheriff of this county.
In 1888 Mr. Merry was appointed Commits.
sioner on the psrt of the United States to the
Melbourne Centennial Exposition, by Pres
ident Cleveland. He remained there seven
months, and made a subsequent visit
thither il the forepart of the present year.
The first part OF his lecture is devoted to an
exposure of the atrocities of the British
Penal Colony system, while the latter half
is descriptive of new English speaking
people and the advances in civilization.
During the course of the lecture Mr. Merry
will recite Lindsay Gordon's magnificent
poem Of the Dying StocErider" the story
of brave man perishing from thirst. Mr..
Merry is rare wit, fluent and engaging
speaker and fine reader, and gives an
evening of rich entertainment to all who
attend his lectures. His subject is one of
great interest and his lecture upon it is full
of anecdote, information and graphic de-
scription.

NEARING THE CONCLUSION.
Ex-Judge Maguire's Argument in the
Boycott Case.

Ex-Judge AIaguire's Argument in the
Boycott Case.
The suit of James McClatchy & Co. We.
IeKay and others-the boycott case-was
resumed before Superior Judge Armstrong,
yesterday.
Add. c. Hinkson, one of TIE attorneys
for the plaintiffs, occupied the entire fore
noon session in his argument. He cited
voluminous authorities, in addition to
these referred to by his associate. Judge
benson, TO support the theory that the de-
PENDANTS were violating the law in attempt
ing to detract patronage from the Bee. He
maintained that no law that had ever been
passed justified such action, and that the
laws of every country in the world insured
business man some protection in his
rights of property. If one man or set of
men, he said, have the right to interfere
with another the result would be democrat.
izing in the extreme. He claimed that it
was not the true principle of liberty. Lib
erty did not mean license to any one and
restriction to another.
At the afternoon session, ex- Judge James
G. Mcguire, one of the attorneys for the
defense, began his argument. He held
that the plaintiffs had not proved the con-
spiracy alleged in the complaint. He then
proceeded TO snalyze the whole difficulty
which brought about the present warfare
between the trades unions and the Bee.
The employees of that journal, he said, had
right 10 become dissatisfied with their
conditions; they had right, even, to make
unreasonable requests of their employers,
but it did not necessarily follow that those
employers should accede to those requests.
Iohf Of hnfh n1
plaintiffs had perfect right to discharge
sons why they did so-and, on the other
hand, the printers had en- equal right to
quit work because the stereotyper had been
discharged, or for any other reason. There
were no contracts between the employers
and employees. His clients, he said, did
not claim any privileges that were not
afforded the plaintiffs.
After they quit work they went to the
plaintiffs customers and requested that
they withdraw their advertisements from
the paper - and they threatened that,
should the customer refuse to withdraw
his patronage, they, the defendants, would
withdraw their patronage from such Gus
tome-. This was right, Ju6g5 Mcguire
said, that was given to every American
citizen by the Constitution. Their patron
age belonged to them, and they could with
draw it from one person and bestow it
upon another without Offering any reason
whatever for such action. 1t might be
termed a boycott or anything else, but
it was their right just the same. A boycott,
he said, was nothing more or lees than an
appeal to the moral sense of community.
Judge Mcguire had not concluded his
agrument when the hour for adjournment
arrived, and the Court decided TO hold an
evening session.
Judge Mcguire concluded his argument
last night and Judge Armstrong announced
that he would take the case under advise
mert.
