TWO RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

This Time Not on the S. A. =, But
on the Other Roads.
The LIGHT again has to chronicle
two sad accidents occurring on the
railroads The first one occurring on
the |. & G. y. railway yesterday
afternoon, two miles this side of
Moore station. James Green, son of a
painter of this city, was riding on a
freight train loaded with lumber. In
walking over the lumber from one
car to another he VAS thrown, by
the lumber moving, between the
cars and his shoulder was bad
ly crushed. The train men
did not know he had fallen off, and
the train passed on. He was COM
PEELED to walk TO Moore, two miles,
with his shoulder and arm in this
condition, for medical treatment, and
was brought to San Antonio on the
first train and place in the Santa
Rosa hospital. DIR. Shropshire at
tended him, and thought to have am
putated the shoulder and arm today,
hut Green was too weak from loss of
blood and died before the operation
was attempted.
The second accident occurred ON
the western division of the Southern
Pacific railway, at Hondo bridge,
about 9 or 10 O'Clock last night. Freight
train &c, which left San Antonio
about 8 o'clock broke in two at the
Hondo, and the engineer stopped his
engine with the front part. The rear
half collided with the front and
smasn-up resulted. Condu ctor
Joseph Sweeney and his brakeman
Crawford were in the rear end, and
Sweeney's leg was broken and his
head was cut and crushed. Craw-
ford's head, face and chin were badly
utand bruised and one arm is broken.
They were brought back to the city
and are now in the Santa Rosa hos
pital. Mr.. Sweeney is well known
young railroad man and was married
but few months ago to Miss MOllie
Carey, OF this city.

Sam Huston College - Its Pro-
gress and Its Prospects.
DAILY LIGHT:
AUSTIN, Janury 9.-Your Holiday
issue was full of matter, which speaks
volumes for San AutoniO's growth
and prosperity. Your city cannot
fail to grow with such a manly
tongued friend as the LIGHT to sing
its praise in SO lofty lays. OF course
you see that Austin is taking Onquite
boom, the real boomers are the solid
men of the community. In this We
may expect rapid growth, but nothing
of the abnormal type. The growth
will solidify as it increases. The
West Texas conference school, now
known as the Samuel Huston col
lege, was made SO by the generous
donation of Mr.. Samuel Huston, OF
of Iowa. of ten thousand dollars.
Soon after it was known that he had
done this noble deed, the conference
which convened in your city Feb. 18th,
1889, changed its name to Samuel
Huston college, which cannot be too
often repeated by friends of educa-
ton. We have worked like beavers,
wand to touch this much needed en-
terprise to give life, character and
tone to it. We believe it has now re-
ceived these essential elements, and |
will move off from where we left build |
ing on the Goth of October, 1887. Rev.
r. s. Rust, ID. LID, purchased
nearly six acres on which the base
ment story of building 30x70
feet was complete and cornerstone
laid on the day above men,
toned. The enterprise for want of
additional means stopped until now.
1t must be understood that no part OF
the donation made by S. Huston goes
into the basement story, we gather
The thousands topay for the complete

Eighty per cent of which was paid
when that work was done, leaving
wenty per cent of the amount bearing

Rust is corresponding secretary of

onE-IHIRD of rHE WORLD.

It's astonishing how nearly the people of
the United States are to being one-third of
the world. The San reports our popula-
ton at less than 10000 but of many of
the staples of commerce we consume close
upon 30 per cent Of production. The
worlds supply of sugar is given at 5,114, 500
tons; Of this the United States consumes
!, 400 900 tons. or % per cent of the entire
product. We consume 265, 900 tons of coffee
Of the $50. 600 produced, or 80 per cent OF the
whole. The worlds production of iron is
24,900,000 tons; this country consumes
100000 tons, nearly one-third. The same
ratio OF production holds good as to steel.
Our consumption of cotton is about one
quarter Of the worlds product. Now, how
does it happen that the 65 000, 900 of people
of the United States can afford to consume
nearly third of the worlds product of
things which are classed as the necessaries
and Injuries of life? The fact that we do
is conclusive of our better condition. of our
greater earning capacity. The comparative
consumption of nation depends largely
upon the equitable distribution of incomes
and earnings among the masses Of the peo-
pie. In every country there are a few who
are able to buy everything they want others
are able to supply reasonable demands; but
The masses have to limit their purchases TO
their means. The rich people in the United
States do not consume more than the rich
people elsewhere. but the so-called working
classes are better paid than in any other
large country in the world, and are conse-
quently better able to surround themselves
with the comforts and luxuries of life.

DEAD AT LAST.
End of the Long Career of Il
Noted Criminal.

Eyes, old Andrew Schramm is dead at
last" remarked Captain Lees, as he read
the death notice of an old convict who died
at Folsom prison last Thursday.
WAS he Il hard character p queried
reporter who heard the observation.
Eyes, indeed. He was 76 years old when
he died, and it is safe TO say that at least
twenty-five years of his life was spent i'll
penal institutions. That man has cost the
State an immense amount OF money, DOth
in catching him and in convicting him. AT
last, however, he has passed away In his
prison home"
Sehramm, though notorious burglar and
general robber, was not sufficiently clever to
elude the vigilance of the police. Among
his most notorious otfenseS were those OF
stealing horses and buggies. He would jump
into vehicle, drive into San Mateo County
or take the Oakland boat. At the conclusion
of his journey he would dispose OF the rig to
tile best advantage and have high old time
on the proceeds. While intoxicated he would
be captured and made to pay the penalty OF
the Offense. For several of these irreg-
of Correction. Becoming more ambitious
he turned his talents toward the
calling of burglar. He was both
a night and daylight operator. Such
bles to multiply, and he went across the
bay for several serious cases. The pollce
records show that on November 20. 1871, he
was sent to San Quentin for two and half
years for a burglary committed IN San Fran
cisco.
On January is, 1875, he was returned TO
San Quentin to serve four years for bur-
glary, also committed in this city.
He had scarcely got out OF prison when he
was again captured and convicted of bur-
glary in the Second degree on January p,
1879. This last offense was committed in
Alameda County, and he was given three
years for it.
On being released Schramm drifted to
MERGED, where he experimental until
caught. There he received a sentence of
ten years Tor burglary on February 10, 1888.
Behaving well while in prison he got the
benefit of his credits, and served a little
over seven years. On this occasion he gave
the name of Adolph Schramm.
Freedom was too much for him, and the
veteran crook was again taken in in this
city for attempted burglary This was his
last infractioD of the law. He was com
mitted to Folsom for two years on January
% 1890, and was serving as the boss of the
tailor-shop until few weeks ago. when he
was attacked with pneumonia and confined
to his bed, which he never left until taken
to the prison graveyard to sleep among
others who had died like him in penal seryi-
tlIde.

SILVER AND WHEAT PRICES.

The Portland Oregonidn. about the only
prominent gold organ OF the Pacific Coast.
says:
The curious notion is cropping out here and
there in the newspapers OF the country that the
recent rise in price OF wheat is The direct result
of the increase in value Of silver bullion, caused
by recent legislation.
Tie notion does not seem to us so curious
as it does to our contemporary. The price
of Wheat in India is recorded on silver
basis. Silver is the currency of that coun-
try as absolutely as gold is the currency of
England. The Indian wheat-grower does
not trouble himself about the relative value
of gold and silver in other parts Of the
world, since he buys and sells, receives pay
ment and pays debts with her silver money.
But in England the Indian silver rupee is
commodity. The lower the market value OF
silver the lower the commercial rating CT
the rupee. The English wheat importer
does not lake his gold to India, but buys sill
yer ru} ees with it in London, and with the
silver rupees buys wheat in India. 1t is
very clear that the lower the market value
of silver on the gold basis The more wheat
the English wheat importer can buy with a
gwen amount of gold. As India is a large
producer of wheat the cheapening of the
Iullan lGtQUcl cNPdpPUS cOITtSpOuuiUSlN
the wheat imported from gold countries.
The English price for wheat is the same
whether tie wheat was bought with silver
in India or with gold in the United States.
Within a few months the market value of
silver has advanced about20 per cent. The
silver rupee of India has advanced in value
with silver bullion. Consequently when the
British wheat importer buys silver rupees
in London he has to pay 20 per cent more
for them than he did some months ago Ii
is clear that under these conditions he buys
less wheat for a given amount of gold than
he could buy with the same amount before
the rise in silver. Our Portland contem-
pofary contends that the assumption that
the price of Indian wheat in rupees will re-
main the same regardless of change in in
trinsic value is contrary to fiscal law and
human experience. The ASSUMPTION, how
ever, no DIS good as yet. The market value
of WHEAT advances in almost exact propor-
ton to the advance of the silver rupee in
value in the worlds market. England did
not fix The price of silver. but RESPONDED t.
the rise in the United States. The Indian
rupee went up III value because the silver
in it was worth more as bullion than it had
been. To get silver to buy Indian wheat
with the British wheat importer had to buy
rupees at their market price.

NOT IN CONTEMPT.

A case is reported in New York in which
the City Court decided that defendant was
not III contempt because Of inability TO COM
ply with decree Of the court. A woman
had obtained judgment against a man for
breach Of promise. The man had no prop
erty with which to satisfy the Judgment.
The woman's lawyer asked the courts aid
to compel the man 20 marry the woman on
pain of being sent to jail The court re-
fused the petition. The judgment Re held
was like any other; it must remain unsatis-
fed until such time as the m an might have
the means to satisfy it. The court could not
compel him to marry, as the alternative of
being imprisoned until he would pay.
The defendant in this case was fortunate
that he was not tried in some of our Cali
fornia courts Judges here nave a notion
that they may imprison man for contempt
If he fails to pay whatever sum they may
decree In the form Of alimony. The law

Who Is to Repair the Damaged City
Hall Towers?


Who Is to Repair the Damaged City
Hall Towers?
The Public Buildings Committee of the
Board Of Supervisors expressed the opinion
yesterday that it was not the duty of the
Supervisors to repair the tottering tower on
tie Larkin-street wing of the new City
Hall, and will recommend that the matter
be referred back to the City Hall Commits
sion. The principal reason for the action is
that there is no money in the Building Com
mittee's Fund to spare. Every cent and
more too is consumed making the necessary
repairs inside the building. The work Of
fixing the towers will cost all the way from
$1,000 to $500, and the limit of the appro-
priation at the disposal of the committee is
$1,000 month.
On account of the new wings now going
up, the Assessors private Office has been
shut off from daylight, and a new one is re-
CURED at once. Many other expenditures
here and there just made had exhausted the
fund

ingots from pig iron labor is the prime
factor of cost. For the convenience of tab
ulation tile product at each stage is consid-
cred the raw material from which the next
highest form of product is made. Thus In
converting steel ingOts into steel rails the
steel ingot is classed as raw material, and
the only labor credited is that employed in
making steel rails from steel ingotS. But in
point of fact about pine-tenths of the cost
of producing steel rails in this country is the
item of labor. At the present time the cost
of making ton of steel rails in this country
is but n little greater than in Europe. But
how was this degree of cheapness attained?
Does any reasonable man suppose that II
there had been no duties on foreign iron we
would have been able to establish that IN
dustry in this country in the face OF foreign
com petition? The industry established
here competition among home mills has re-
duced the prices about to the cost OF pro-
ducton.
But, leaving tables of figures ont CT the
argument, why do the New England maui
facturers demand free raw material II the
cost of producing it is no greater In this
country than in countries from which we
import these materials? If we can produce
iron ore and coal as cheap)y as Canada why
do the New England iron manufacturers de-
mand the free admission of iron ore and coal
from Canada? The duty on iron ore is 70
cents ten; on bituminous coal the same;
on coke, 90 per cent; on limestone, nothing.
The cost Of converting these materials into
pig iron is S14, against SO 10 in Great
Britain. But the labor item in this process
is only 81 50. and the duty on the pig Sc Y.
Our free-trade contemporary argues that be-
cause the duly exceeds the labor item in the
manufacture of pig iron from the materials
mentioned that labor receives little or no
benefit from the duty. But the labor en-
ployed in the production of iron ore, bitnmi-
nous coal and coke is benefited as we'll as
the labor employed in converting these ma
terials into pig iron.

A pELUsIoN AND A SNARE.

President Cleveland. as our readers gen.
orally know, was in favor of free trade. He
also advocated what he termed reciprocity,
which meant also free trade. The Demo-
cratic party generally advocated a similar
policy. Senator Hearst and Representative
Clunie we're open advocates of free trade.
Free trade meant free wine and free fruit
from France VI any eth0r country, which
would have the effect of reducing the price
of the wine and fruit of California. The
same party wished to perfect reciprocity
treaty with Mexico, which would let in Mex
lean productions 10 compete with those Of
California in the Eastern States. Persons
who study the situation even specifically
must realize that the introduction Of pro-
ductions of countries whose labor does not
con mand one-half the price paid in this
State would tend TO reduce the price Of
our productions, and, of course, prove
injurious to California. Much has been
said recently in relation to reciprocity with
sugar producing countries. THE CALL, as
its readers know, has opposed any and all
such arrangements. believing that this
: ate, if let alone, would eventually pro-
duce sugar in large quantities for EXPORT.
Our citiz -rs are doubtless largely opposed to
Buckley journal says in substan that the
Representatives Of the Pacific Coast States
miSTepTeSeuted their constituents when Op-
posing reciprocity, which is not correct. A
quotation from the paper referred to reads
as follows:
Mr.. Morrow says that lie is mot in favor of
the wholesale scheme of reciprocity" Mr.. Van
deyeT, with thai genius for laundering which has
distinguished him ever since he has been In
Washington, calls the scheme "a delusion and a
snare"; also "humhugU He thinks that Ger
many, England and France ahead of us in
their relations with the South American nations,
aud That they viii keep ahead OF us all the time.
Mr.. Vandeyer has no patience with any talk OF
enlarged commercial relations so long as Mexico
maintains the Zona Libre and thereby facilitates
smuggling into the United states
Mr.. Vandeyer says the reciprocity scheme
Is "a delusion and a snare" and the Ameri-
can people have never been benefited in any
way by it when tried.

takes from a man so much of anything he
possesses as may be necessary to support
wife. When husband becomes defend
ant in divorce suit the law requires him to
contribute in proportion to his means to
support the suit commenced against him.
But the law is satisfied when it has stripped
the man OF all of his possessions. But the

THE TARIFF BILL.

The House has refused to concur in the
amendments the Senate made to the House
bill, and this action will throw upon con-
ference committee the labor of shaping
bill that will pass both houses. 1t is not
supposed that there will be any manifesto
ton of disposition to delay matters on the
part of either house. The reciprocity
amendment of the Senate is the most inl
portant change in the House bill made by
the Senate and the general understanding Is
that the Conference Committee will accept
the Senate's action in this respect, though 1t
is known that Mr.. Mckinley. who will prob
ably be one of the Conference Committee, is
opposed to that feature of the Senate bill.
But conference committees generally act on
the give-and-take principle, and This will
probably be no exception to the rule.
