On Friday Commissioner Douglass received
letter from General Rosecrans introducing
MFR. Norman Wizard, the government steam
expert, and inviting the Commissioner to al
low him to make an examination OF Secretary
Tracy's house, with a view Of determining
whether the steam heating arrangements had
anything to do with the fire. Accordingly,
Fire Marshal Drew and Mr.. Wizard made an
examination and found that the felt packing
around the pipes was burnt nearly off, show
ing conclusively that the steam in the pipes
was superheated, and. passing through the
register, no doubt set fire to something near
it and caused a general conflagration. Mr..
Drew thinks that this is the best solution of
the problem Of the fire, and there is little
doubt that the superheated steam caused the
fire.

TIE death ofthe young man Her
vey at Lyons, formerly OF BRENNAN
the other day, as reported in the 10
cal columns of this paper, ought to
serve as sufficient warning to every
body against the pernlcious effects
Of cigarette smoking. His mind was
stolen entirely away by the insidious
death-dealing cigarette, and the rul,
.ng passion showed itself so strong
that he smoked cigarette just three
minutes before he died. Parents
should watch their boys closely to
prevent them from becoming ad-
dicted to the habit, and there should
be state law prohibiting the sale
Of cigarettes to minors Just as much
as the sale of liquor.

Waco News: According to some
of our morning contemporaries one
would be led to suppose that it was
an unusul thing for a farmer or q
mechanic to belong to the demo,
cratic party. The inference would be
that its beastly majority of the past
was made up of lawyers, professional
politicians and gentlemen OF leisure.
They write that, when as fact, they
know that fully seventy-fve per cent
of the farmers and mechanics of this
state have always voted unfinching-
ly the democratic ticket, and the
primaries are demonstrating that
these ,staunch old democrats are vot-
ing almost as a unit for General

supervisory Ordinance Annulled
by the supreme Court.
SAN Francisco, January 1.-The Su-
preme Court rendered decision today
in favor of the Spring Valley water
works. thereby declaring null and void
the ordinance of the Board of Supervisors
of San Francisco which makes reduc-
ton of about sixteen per cent. in the
water rates to be charged for water to be
furnished to the inhabitants of
this city for the year commenc-
ing July l., 1889, and ending June
80, 1890. The Board of Supervisors
contended that the constitution conferred
on the board the absolute and exclusive
right to fix the water rates, while the
company hold that there was a limita-
ton on the power of the board which
compelled it to fix reasonable rates, and
that from the amount of money invested,
and the improvements projected, a re-
duction of sixteen per cent would not
make the rates reasonable and just.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WILLIAMS, Cal, January 1.-The clti'
zens of this place were thrown into a
state of excitement over the shooting ol
David Matheson by Joe Casey about 8
O'Clock this morning. Casey entered
Gould's saloon, where a number were
seated, among whom was Matheson,
who had spent the night in the saloon.
A game of whist was proposed, and
four, including Casey and Matheson,
seated themselves around the card
table. Words Immediately followed
and the game was broken up. Mathe-
son resumed his seat by the fire, and
Casey walked about the room applying
foul epithets which appeared to be di.
rected at Matheson, who answered by
saving that he did not want to fight.
Finally Matheson arose from his chair,
when Casey drew his revolver and fired.
The ball entered Matheson's left side
and lodged in the tissue of the lungs. 1t
is thought he will die. Casey was taken
into custody by constable, and was
subsequently, removed to the County
Jail at Colusa.
Casey is native of Louisiana, and
about 81 years of age. He has resided
in Williams at intervals since 1878. be
has been employed as bartender, and is
addicted to the use of liquor and opiates.
Matheson is native of Nova Scotia, and
is 40 years old.
Casey's father is said to have figured
quite extensively in the early history of
California. He was hanged out of Q
third-story window on Montgomery
street, San. Francisco, in 1866, by Vigil
lantes, for killing James King, of
Williams, editor Of the Bulletin.

playing materially. Boston played an

was not far behind. The game was re-
plete with brilliant plays in which st.
Louis rather took the lead. The st.
