school teacher and the physician went to
Santa Rosa, where they were married by
the Rev. DR.. Anderson in the parlor of the
Occidental Hotel Since their marriage
they have been living on Montgomery
street. Last night they had intended start
ing for Kansas City, where Firth was to
establish practice.
When searched at the city prison 5000 in
cash and draft for large amount were
found on his person. The money is sup
posed to have been the property of Miss
Murry, now Firth's wife, as Miss Herr says
that her supposed husband didn't have a
cent Il think he married her for her
money" said Miss Herr. Il believe N.Y.
self to be his real wife, and don't think
his marriage with her is legal one."
DR.. Firth says he graduated from the
Ohio Medical College in Cincinnati. He
came to this coast about six years ago, To-
eating at Ceur d'Alene, Idaho, and after
ward going to Yreka. He disclaims ever
having married Miss Herr, and says that
he does not remember having introduced
her as his wife. He admits living with her,
and says that while they were SO living he
used some of her money.
"The fact of the matter is simply this"
said he. Il got tired of her. She is mad
because / wanted to leave her and has de-
termined to make trouble for me. Yes, |
got the S100, but it was not to furnish an
office with. l have not seen my wife since
last night, and 1 do not know how she
feels about the matter. No, don't think
she will come to the prison to see me, be-
cause expect to get out inside of half

ried. excepting 10 Miss Murry. When
asked whether he had ever been arrested
before, Firth hesitated moment and then
said that he had not.

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
Temperance People Routed Again b
that Supreme Court Decision,

that supreme Court Decision.
PITTsBURG, June 13th-A sensation was
created in this portion of Pennsylvania to-
day by the decision of an Armstrong
County Judge in an original package case.
A short time ago Charles Silverman
opened an original package store in Leech-
burg, local prohibition town. He acted
as agent for Cincinnati brewing company
and disposed of a large quantity of beer.
Silverman was promptly arrested and his
trial came off before Judge Rayburr, at
KittanniDg, to day.
The temperance people asserted that
Silverman had violated the law by selling
liquor without license; also that he sold
t, minors and men of intemperate habits
Silverman, who had sold only in kegs,
half barrels and barrels, set up the original
package decision in defense, and proved he
had not sold to minors.
Judge Rayburn, in his charge to the
jury, refused to consider the evidence in
regard to the violation of the local prohi-
bitory law, saying the question for the jury
to decide was whether the packages were
the identical and unbroken packages
shipped from Ohio. If so, then Silverman
had right to make sales according to the
Supreme Court decision. Ii found guilty
of selling to minors and intemperate men,
the offense would come under State police
regulations, for while the State might not
prohibit the sale of original packages ii
could protects iis citizens.
The jury acquitted .Silverman of the
charge of selling without license and to
minors but found him guilty of selling to
persons of known intemperate habits.
The liquor people, who have been in a
hopeless minority in Armstrong county,
are iubilant and say that original packages
can now flood every town in the State, and
the high licenses paid by local dealers is
practically money thrown away.

SAN FRANCISCO. June I3th.-The steam

uay bringing advices to June 9th.
ln the Legislative Assembly on June 9Th
the committee on Foreign Affairs, acting
under instructions TO inquire whether. in
negotiations for the renewal of the rresent
treaty with the United States, any state
ments OF any officer of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent were calculated to prejudice or
jeopardize the political or commercial in
dependence of Hawaii reported four
charges against Minister of Foreign Affairs
Austin, accusing him of not fully comply
ing with the instructions of the House tn
communicate all correspondence on the
treaty IN having distracted or caused to be.
aostracted one OF the most important docu-
ments, IN the shape of letter from Minis
Ter Carter, containing valuable suggestions
ABOUT the treaty, aud in having retained
other letters from Carter touching on the
SUBJECT, on the plea that they were private
personal communications. They also
charged that the Minister refused to trans
nit the minutes of numerous Cabinet
meetings between April and September
9th, at which the proposed treaty was dis
cussed.
Ihe committee, continuing its report.
stated that owing TO the policy of the Min
lister OF Foreign Affairs it was unable to de-
eide the question as TO whether the Minis
tiers had been instigated in the first start of
the treaty negotiations by the hope of has,
tenlng the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States. The Legislature would,
therefore, be constrained to accept the as
surance OF the Ministry that they never in
tended anything against the Independence
OF the country. In the same way the COM
mittee maintained that the real wish of the
American Government of preserving the
independence of Hawaii would have been
better established if it had been possible to
prove who was the originator of the clause
concerning the landing of troops, which has
been the subject of contrary statements
from the members OF the Hawaiian Cab
met.
No discussion was had By the members
OF the Legislature on the statements con-
tanned in the report, but the whole matter
was tabled until minority report could
be presented.

was to be given, and Wm Il. Vanderbilt
Cornelius Vanderbilt. John r. Hoxie, O
Texas, and James II. Ashley, who, with
President Thayer and Manager Sherman
own msjority of the stock.
The bill charges that the defendants are
inspired with the sole intention of selling
the property for little over half its actual
value; that they then propose to depreciate
the value OF the stock and run property
value down until il reaches a minimum
then, when the small stockholders are
frozen out, the manipulators intend to buy
the plant and good will comparatively tor
a mere song.
Baker asserts that the stock is intrin-
slcaliy and actually worth $500 per share,
whereas It is proposed to sell to the syndi-
cate for $3.50 per share, of which only the
bare cash value, 500, is cash.
Among other points made in The bill are
that the purchasing company, the London
Contract Company, and the Central Trust
Company are alien corporations, over
which the Courts here can have not iuris-
diction; furthermore, being British corpor.
ations they have no community of interest
with the Western stockholders, etc.
Judge Tuley referred the matter to the
Master in Chancery for hearing.
