THE coal measures of the Rio
Grande are in constant process of de-
velopment. Every month, almost,
adds to the number of discovered coal
beds and the later found seem to
yield much better quality of fuel.
San Antonio only needs this, cheap
fuel, to start her on a career of manu-
featuring which will quickly place
her beyond ali question in the fore
ground of Texas cities.

THAT Georgia hamlet, that refuses
to permit the republican postmaster
to qualify and threatens him with
death if he takes charge of the office,
will find itself in trouble before it is
through with that kind of thing.
The department will not be fright
ened out of its boots by any such fool
threats. The United States marshal
and two post Office inspectors have
been sent to the place, Sharon and it
will soon be seen whether Radicals
must die'' or fools go dance on moth
ing and kick at the wind.

THE English press writes down the
attempt OF Emperor William of Ger
many, to introduce reforms for the
benefit of his working people, as a
socialistic move on his part, and one
in which England and France will
refuse to join. William knows the
needs of his own people and if he has
the courage to press forward the
needed reforms he cannot but
strengthen the hold the government
has upon the masses.

anty
TACOMA, Nov. GA decision was rem
dered in the State Supreme Court Yesterday
in the case of j. c. McCarty, appellant, VS..
The State Of Washington. The Court in its
review Of the case said this is proceeding
by informa ton on the charge of grand lar
ceny for stealing ninety-three alleged tickets
belonging TO the Northern Pacific Railroad
To this the defendant interpOSes demurrer
that ''tIe information did not state facts
sufficient to constitute an offenSe" and that
there was no authority for proceeding by in
formation. The Court goes on to say that
Article VI Section %. of the Constitution
of he State Of Washington provides for
proceedings by information. The act of the
Legislature authorizing proceedings By in
formation was passed January 29, 1890. The
Constitution, by an act of Congress- as well
as by its own terms, did not become opera
tive until the Presidents proclamation,
which was not made until November IL,
1889, so that the date of the alleged crime
antedates not only the enactment of the
Legislature but also the Yivifying of the
Constitution by the Presidential procama-
ton. The Court holds that defendant was
entitled TO the United States guaranty of
preSentment by a Grand Jury on the 18th
day of October, 1889, as the laws OF the
Territory OF Washington were then made
under the supervision of the United States
Congress and the courts of the Territory
were really United States courts. Having
the right at that time it could not be taken
from HIM by any retroactive enactment OF
the State, even if it had been the intention OF
the Legislature to make the act retroactive
in its statute.
eve do not think" says the Court, :" the
defendant can be held to answer the charge
unless on resentment OF a G and Jury. We
are also of opinion that the information
failed TO state facts sufficient to charge the
crime of larceny. The value of each ticket
should have been alleged and the informa-
ton should have shown that they were
genuine effective railway tickets, as an IN
stamped. undated and unsigned railway
ticket is not subject of larceny.
Judgment is reversed and the case re-
handed TO the lower court, with instruc-
tons to sustain the demurrer"
Under this decision Hnyt and Stone. sent
from this county for the murder of Enoeh
Crosby and at least dozen other persons,
must be released, aside from 10 or 100
others throughout the State. The question
viii now come up: Can they again be put
in jeopardy" many having served great
portion of their sentences. 1t is said this is
lie first time matter of this kind has been
fully passed upon in any State court.

feeling right to-day and could not trot bet
ter than 2:13b The track was prepared
for the trial and the day was perfect but the

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 22.-The game sched-
uled TOR Stockton this afternoon was played
in this city. together with post oned game.
A fair crowd was in attendance when the
first game was called, at o'clock. Stock
ton presented an amateur named Hicken-
botham in the box. He pitched a good
game, allowing but six hits in the seven in
nings played, and had good control, giving
FIVE bases on balls and striking out four
batsmen. Harper kept his hits well scat
tered and struck out seven batters and gave
but two bases on balls. Bowman and Arm
strong each caught good game. the latter's
error being an overthrow to third base. Not
base was stolen off Bowman. Pache's
errcrs were responsible for four runs, both
errors being muffs Of fly balls. The home
team made but one error, dropped fly ball
by McHale, which gave the visitors their
only run. Goodenough sprained his ankle
yesterday afternoon and was unable to play.
Hoffman, proved good substitute for him,
and participated in pretty double play.
The feature of the game was a running
catch back of third base by Wilson, who
also caught two difficult fouls.
The second game commenced alter short
intermisson. with KilrOy IN the box Tor the
home team. Hiekenbothan and Armstrong
again being the battery for the SLocktons.

runs being earned off him in seven innings.

him. Harper shut out the visitors without
a run, although they had Il man at third with
but one out The next two batters struck
out. Hickenbothan was hit harder in the
second game but received much better sup
port. Five runs were also earned off him.
Holiday made two sensational catches IN
center field. besides catching three other fly
balls. His error was mutf of an easy
chance. Cedar made clean home run on
long drive TO left center. Pete Meegan
! umpired both games, and did fair work. He
was hard on the pitchers. making them put
the ball over the center of the plate.

OAKLAND WINS AGAIN.
The Friscos Play Erratic Ball
and Lessen Their Chances.

Firms metropolitan team, which is ex-
pected to land the championship pennant
in Frisco, appeared afflicted with a severe
case of the rattles yesterday in their game
with Oakland, and although they outbatted
their opponents, miserable fielding lost them
the game
Both pitchers-Cobb and Lookabaugh-
were subjected to heavy drubbing. and in
several innings the hits were cleverly
punched
The Colonel's team, however, gave Cobb
the prettiest kind of support Mcdonald.
Cantillion and Carsey on the inield and
DUNCAN and Sweeney especially distinguish
ing themselves.
On the other hand the Friscos' work in the
infield was eXecrable. Ebright slipped up
on two chances on ground balls. Everett
let another get away from him. Lonka-
baugh could have nailed man at the plate
but dropped the ball. Isaacson made two
miSplayS at first, one of which was on an
awkward throw Of Ehright. and Hanley
failed to hold on to a difficult chance in CEN
ter, all of which errors proved very costly.
By some strong stick work the Friscos
made three runs in the fifth inning, tying
the score, and in the sixth forged ahead
another. Their advantage was sh0rt-lved.
however, for by a couple of hits, a force and
steal the Oaklands captured two in the
same inning, maintaining their lead, thus
acquired for the balance Of the game. The

Rev. r. d. Crowler, an evangelist of the

New crossings are to be laid on Santa Clara

to remacadamiZe this street from Park to
Seventh street.
The Board of Health has decided to petit
ton the City Trustees to adopt an ordinance
making it a misdemeanor for physicians to
neglect to report to the Health Officer all
cases of contagious or infectious diseases
which they are called TO treat.
The total cost of the grading, curbing and

to Eighteenth (Unon) street is Sl3. 1868 81, or
at the rate of about 81 56 per front loot.
The DrOperty-owners are highly pleased
with the improvement of the street
The question which is agitating Alameda
at present is the construction of the Park
street bridge across the tidal canal cut. One
winter has already passed during which
Alameda was cut off from wagon commune
cation with the outside world, and as the
prospects are growing brighter for a similar
Inconvenience during the approaching win
ter the residents are aroused. The sub
stantial citizens of Alameda held meeting
last evening and gave the matter serious
consideration. 1t was decided to appoint
a committee of five citizens to pre-
pare statement showing the necessity
of the immediate construction of the bridge
and forward the same to the Department of
War through Senators Stanford and Stew

Bartlett appointed on the committee p. L.

appointed to appear before the City Council
OF Oakland and the County Board of Suprr-

sentiment prevailed that the Government
should build temporary bridge which can

dreds of People.
An Accident Befalls an Electric Light Com
pany's Lineman-Heroic Rescue by
Companion.

"Look there! Look there See that
mani" exclaimed an excited individual
standing at the corner Of Suffer and Kearny
streets. as he gazed up at man rigidly
clutchiug an electric wire on a pole forty
three feet above the sidewalk.
The masses that surge along those thor
ouehfares on Saturday afternoon about 5
o'clock appeared to be suddenly stricken
dumb. They stood aghast with gleam-
ing eyes. A man was being burned in
their very presence, and there appeared to
be no way to save him before the subtle
fluid would do its deadly work.
The body reeled for "a moment, the hands
frozen, as it we're, to the terrible wire. The
head fell backward and the palid face
looked upward with closed eyes and every
appearance of death. The body shook,
trembled and writhed, until groans of SYM
pathy went up from the crowd.
FRANTIC WOMEN SCREAMED.
Women became frantic and screamed
"Help! Help!" with hysterical distraction.
All this took place in less than half a min
ute, and while the tension of suspense was
wrought up to the highest pitch stout,
athletlc-looking young fellow who was the
assistant of the man above was seen to scale
the tall pole with the alacrity of squirrel.
On arriving at the top he laid his hands
on his companion, and then ensued strug-
gle. No amount of muscle seemed 10 be
sufficient TO disengage him. Heavy blows
did not have the slightest effect. Having
on rubber gloves, the rescuer reached out
with his pinchers and nipped the wire
asunder.
The injured man dropped into his arms.
With superhuman effort the young athlete
placed his load on his shoulders aud began
the descent by placing the spikes OF his
steel boots into the pole, while he balanced
his man with his left hand. Cheers were
given for the bravery of the young man as
he reached the sidewalk.
PALMS BURNED TO THE BONE.
A carriage in waiting conveyed the two to
the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. o. Bren
treated the wounds. The palms of both
hands were burned to the bone and the Suf
ferer was simply frantic. He asserted that
he was a living coal. Alter being quieted
he gave the name of l.. w. Morgan. an EN-
ploye of the California Electric Company,
and his companion was j. 5. Dawson.
Morgan stated that he was "short-circult-
ing" wire when the accident occurred. lie
is man about % years of age and resides
at the Winchester House, on Third street.
He had recovered sufficiently by 6 o'clock in
the evening to be able to leave the hospital.
The full power Of the wire was 1900 volts,
and it is estimated that Morgan received the
full force of 1000 volts.
