Testimony Taken Before the Investi-
eating Committee.
WASHINGTON, September 15th-In the
Raum investigation to day, Cooper asked
the Commissioner whether there was a
subcompany of the Universal Refrigerator
Company in this district. The Commits
sioner said steps had been taken looking to
the formation of a sub company. The
stock had been subscribed. Bradley Tan
ner, who sat at his desk, was Secretary of
the company. Tanner subscribed for one
share of STOCK. 50 as to be able to ect as in-
corporator, but that no money had been
paid in. Tanner was absolutely the only
pension officer employe interested in the
patent of the company, and witness owned
nine-tenths of the district rights. They
were to receive payment for the
franchise in S500,000 of stock, but the ar
rangement had not yet been ratified.
The interposition of Cooper's resolution
stopped negotiations. The witness had
Withdrawn from the field and stopped
selling State rights until be could, by the
erection of a practical working plant,
show the value OF the patent. Tanner was
not expected 10 pay for his share, and the
same was true of other gentlemen who
organized the sub company. A few shares
of stock had been given them TO enlist the
use OF their names, as was customary in
the organization of such companies.
Lewis introduced a resolution setting
forth Bradley Tanners connection with
the matter, and stating that it is proper and
competent for the committee to hear such
testimony as will tend to prove the char
acter of this enterprise and the value of
the stock. By party vote, the committee
refused to adopt the resolution.

Mr.. Scott Arranging for the Transfer of
the New Cruiser.
WASHINGTON, September 15th.-Irving
NJ. Scott, General Manager of the Union
Iron Works of San Francisco, reached
here this morning from the Pacific coast,
having come to arrange for the final accept
ance by the Government of the new
cruiser San Francisco, which has just been
completed by his firm. He is very happy
over the outcome Of her recent trial and he
says he thinks the shome- made" ship
craft did very we'll. She will be ready for
turning over to the Government October
1st.
The report of the Trial Board has not
been received, being delayed on account of
certain veriications that have to be made.
1t will reach the department this week.
Mr.. Scott says the report started from San
Francisco to the effect that his firm will
divide the speed premium money, about
S145, 900 among the men who built the
ship was invented solely for the purpose of
creating feeling of discomfort among the
men, and is untrue. ''We are not building
ships for fan," said Mr.. Scott. ut is true
we gave our engineers and firemen bonus
for every quarter-knot the ship rau in ex-
cess of nineteen. but that is what we did
on the occasion of the Charlestons rum
Mr.. Scott will probably remain here
until all of the arrangements for the &C.
ceptance of the vessel have been completed.

An Over-Indulgence in Drink Leads to
Fatal Results.

An Over-Indulgence in Drink Leads 10
Fatal Results.
SEATTLE, September 15th.-Just before
midnight last night Z. T. Murphy, clerk
in Toklss, Singerman & Co.'s dry goods
store, shot and fatally wounded Charles
Brown, another clerk in the same store, at
the formers home, 6lS Spring street. Brown
was spending the evening with Murphy
and his wife, and they were drinking
freely, when, it is said, Brown made an in
sulting proposal to Mrs. Murphy. Her
husband then, intiamed with anger and
crazed by drink, drew Colts revolver and
shot Brown in the breast the ball passing
under the left clavicle. Brown fell to the
floor with fatal wound.
LATER.-Further particulars of the shoot
ing show that Brown went to Murphy s
house accompanied By J. J. Mitchell. They
had half dozen bottles of beer with them,
which the four, including Mrs. Murphy,
proceeded to drink. After a short time, il
is said, Brown became abusive and offered
violence to Mrs. Murphy. The woman's
husband then drew revolver and shot
him.
When the officers arrived at the house
Mrs. Murphy was sobbing and wringing
her hands and crying: Charley, Charley
why did he shoot you? He shot you for
nothing. Charley, wake up, wake up don't
die" A horrible scene was presented. A
stream of blood was trinkling from a point
Just below the collar. The wounded man
reeed and staggered, clutching at the table
and the wall, over which blood was spat-
tered. He then fell and rolled On the floor
in terrible agony.
Officers at once handcuffed E. 7. Murphy,
who acknowledged himself as the asssilani,
and put Mrs. Murphy and ]. ]. Mitchell
under arrest.
A physician was summoned, who quickly
cut the clothing from Browns body and
examined the wound, the man meanwhile
groaning. II am shot by Murphy. Murphy
did it, and he did it for nothing. am dead
doctor, am dead.''
When the shirt was opened there was a
small bullet-hole just below the clavicle on
the collar-bone.
Murphy is medium sized man of forty
one. He came here from San Francisco
year ago last April and had been working
for Toklas, Singerman e. Co. up to a short
time ago.
Brown was his best friend, and had come
here with him from San Francisco. Brown,
who had also worked for the same firm
boarded with them.
At the police station Mrs. Murphy ac-
knowledged that they had been drinking
together. Charley Brown had gotten pretty
drunk, and when he was drunk she said he
was inclined to be abusive, though he meant
no harm. She had heard some words. She
did not remember them. When she heard
the report of the revolver the bullet whizzed
past her head from behind, Brown had
given cry and she knew that he was shot.
She did not know where the pistol came
from, and she couldn't see why her hus-
band had shot the man, for he was their
Oldest and best friend.

WASHINGTON, September 15th.-The re-
mainder of the Senate amendments to the
tariff bill were put through the Ways and
Means Committee in short order this morn
ing, non-concurrence being recommended
in each case. When the amendment fixiNg
November lst as the date upon which goods
10 bond imported should be Withdrawn
was reached, the Democratic members
showed disposition to amend the Senate
amendment so as to extend the time; but,
Notwithstanding the apparent unanimity
of the committee in the opinion that there
should be an extension. it was decided the
result desired could be more speedily
reached by leaving the matter TO conferees
than by undertaking to adjust it in COM
mittee and the House so as in the case of
the other amendments non concurrence
was noted, and the Chairman authorized to
report the bill to the House. The Conn.,
mittee on Rules, following up this action,
adopted McKinley's special rule for the
consideration of the bill and amendments.
In difference to the wishes of many kepub-
lican members who returned to Washing
ton this morning in answer to telegraphic
calls. it was decided that efforts should be
made to take up the tariff bill Immediately

SAN Francisco. September l5th.-United
States Commissioner SAWYER TODAY decided
IN the case of John J. Brown, charged with
sweating $50 gold pieces, that under the
United States statutes he could not be

punishment of persons mutilating OF light

those having such coin in their possession.

Browns method was to place $40 gold
piece in an electric bath, and the rapid
chemical action extracted about twenty
grains of gold from each coin. The coins
were not mutilated, and the lightness could
only be detected by experts
Under this decision any one can pass
sweated coins without fear of prosecution.

The promised financial aid for the men
who took part il the now defunct strike

FOREIGN COINS.
Advantages to Importers Who Make
Purchases in Silver Coin.


WASHINGTON, September 15th.-A special
from Washington calls attention to the
effect which the section added to the tariff
bill by the Senate regarding the official
value of foreign coins is likely to have.
The correspondent says: The rapid rise
in the price of silver must eventually raise
the purchasing power of silver coins much
above the value proclaimed by the Director
of the Mint in January last This gives
importers a considerable advantage under
the present law, if they make their pur-
chases in silver coin. 1t will tend to do
away with the problem before the depart
ments as to the value of the Austrian paper
form. While the paper form passed at
higher value than the silver form, the
Government has been continually the
loser in collections of duties on goods pay
ing ad valorem rates. The rise in the
value of the silver form will keep pace
with the rise in the price of silver. The
difference between the paper and the silver
form and their intrinsic circulating value
has been more than II per cent, giving
great advantage TO importers in the pay
ment Of duties
