Wants to Return 10 San Francisco.
San Francisco, Oct 6-Word has been
received in this city of Walter E. Hney,
the gay collector for the harbor commits
sioners, who embexzled $4,000 from the
state. After leaving this CITY he FIRST went
to Seattle, whore he registered 1T the Raj
nier hotel under m assumed name. He il
said TO have represented himself as q
travelling salesman, and his story, aided by
his winning manner and jovial face, gained
ready currency. He seemed beset with the
fear that he was being followed by San
Francisco detectives and suddenly left
Seattle and went to Port Townsend. While
there his identity became known, and he
ceased making mystery of himself.
While in the hotel one day he noticed. it is
stated, that he was being observed and be-
lieved his watcher was detective. The
City of Kingston was making ready to sail
to Victoria, and he determined to get out
of the United States at once. He succeeded
IN doing this, and arrived safely at VIC
toria, where he now is. He wrote to friends
in this city from Victoria, announcing his
arrival, and saying he intended to turn
over new leaf and lead better life. He
also said he intended some day to pay back
the money he had taken, and only hoped
he would escape arrest long enough to allow
him to gather il up.

Gently disposed of its Eastern business to

Is soon as its affairs can be formally dis
posed of, and Colonel William Mcdonald,
at present vice president of the Anglo
Nevada, will become manager of the Lon-
don and Lancashire Company's interests
in this city. The business of the Anglo
Nevada. which is transferred to the Gale
DOMAIN Company. amounts to $500. 900 an

now transferred to the London and Lam

SoNoMA, CAL, Oct. 6--The forest FIRE Is
now completely under control, and no
further danger is apprehended Of its spread

narrow escape from being burned to death.
They we've alone on their ranch on Satur-
day and were completely surrounded by

Fences are burned down, valuable timber
destroyed and thousands upon thousands
of acres of feed destroyed.

ST. Louis Post Dispatch.
"Since the new law affecting lotteries
went into effect" Postmaster Harlow said,
"all of the distributing clerks in the post
Office have been instructed to be on the
lookout for papers or circulars containing
lottery advertisements, as such are nom
mailable. 1t is not possible for US to ex-
anime every piece of nail that comes
into the Office, but We have . system
that would result in the detection of
quantity of such sdvertisenents through
the mail. When papers are offered for
mailing the weighter opens several OF
them, selecting his samples Mt random.
Then copies are sent to the superintendent
of mails. When the papers get down 70
the distribution broom the foreman Of the
examines them. Ii paper Is known to
be printing lottery advertisements regu-
larry the distributors will every now and
then examine copies mailed to see If they
contain the prohibited advertisements.
"While these precautions are taken, l
understand that publishers of papers which
have hitherto contained lottery advertise
ments are now emitting that class Of adj
vertising and all reference to lotteries from
their mail editions, though they may con-
tinue to print advertisements and lists Of
drawings in editions intended for city cir.
culation."
There is great danger of persons violat-
ing the law recently adopted in regard to
writing lottery advertisements without
knowing it." said District Attorney Rey-
nolds this morning. Papers, that prior
to the passage of the law. published lottery
advertisements in violation of the state law
now print editions for mailing which are
entirely free from reference to lotteries.
while in other editions, intended for city
circulation, they continue to print the
lottery advertisements and lists Of
drawings. Now, should any persons bny
copies OF such papers upon the streets and,
desiring to send them to friends elsewhere,
deposit them IN the mail, they would b
putting in the mail advertisements Of lot
feries, and would be liable to such punish
ment a. the law prescribes. The
fact that such advertisements
are withdrawn from the mail
editions of papers that have heretofore
published them immediately upon the pass
age Of a law making papers containg such
advertisements non-maiiabie, and the con.
tinuation of the publication Of such adver-
tisements in city editions in violation Of .
law of the state is, to my mind. . curious
commentary on the administration Of
justice in the state and federal courts.

Murderer B1renaN forSIotly CO0Ioeseos
ToRoNro, Oct 6-The Globe published
this morning sensational story con-
tanning partial confession from Bir-
chall regarding the killing of BenwelL.
The article says: 1t cannot be said
that he made anything like . clean
breast of the murder. ALI he has done
thus far is to make q number of half-con-
fessional statements ana drop hints and
admissions which pieced together form q
tolerably complete story. To sum up. he
acknowledges that he was an accessory,
and confesses that he took Benwell to
Eastwood and beyond in the direction of
the swamp, but resolutely insists that his
was not the hand that slew the vic tim.
All through his conversation since convic-
ton BirchalI has insisted that he had an
accomplice. He has made it appear that
this accomplice was yonng Engiishman
named Graham, who at one time lived with
Pickthall on the latter's farm. No ono
will for moment believe that the charge
against Graham is true. There is not the
slightest evidence that Graham was seen
near the swamp February IL.

Dillon and O'Brien Unable to Conceal
Their Contempt Of Court.
DUBLIN, Oct. 6.-The magistrates court
at Tipperary, before which the case of Dill
Ion, O'Brien and others is being heard, re-
convened this morning Their counsel
Redmond aud Timothy Healy were alb
sent, in consequence of an important en-
gagement elsewhere. In behalf of
O'Mahony.. Dillon produced certificates
from two colonial doctors. stating that he
was seriously Ill. and that it was impossible
for him to attend the trial. Roman, prose-
cutor for the crown. objected to the certifi-
Gates Is not valid because, he insisted, the
doctors must be summoned to testify as to
the patients condition. Dillon said the
doctors certificates would have to be &C
cepted a. evidence. The doctors them
selves distinctly refused to come into court
to substantiate tho statements they had al
ready made. Roman asked the court to
adjourn tor an hour to enable the crown to
decide whether the charge against
O'Mahony should be Withdrawn or an APP
plication made for warrant for his arrest.
The request was granted. Upon the reas.
sembling Of the court Roman stated that
the prosecution had autographed to two
doctors in Clonwel to examine O'Mahony.
and had sent third from Tipperary to
examine the defendant. He expected that
the doctors would appear in court later and
testify a. to O'Mahony's condition. He
therefore asked tho court to take . further
adjournment.
Roman said O Mahony. through his solicit
ors, had placed the court at defiance. Dill
lon declared Romans statement to be un-
true. He had done his best to procure the
attendance OF the O'Mahony brothers in
court. O'Brien said that the defendants
had the right to complain against the
course of the prosecution. Romans re-
mark Was addressed to the audience in
England, and was designed to injure the
defendants.
A scene Of confusion followed. Roman
repeated his remarks again. and Dillon
again loudly denied them. The defend
ants in the meantime protested against the
charges made by the prosecutor. When
order was again partially restored Dillon
warmly protested against the court taking
any further adjournment. He maintained
It was an injustice. No warrant could be
issued for the arrest of O'Mahony until the
court had heard the testimony of his doc
tors.
Another heated wrangle then took place
between the crown prosecutor and Dillon.
The court finally granted Romans request,
and another adjournment was taken. The
action Of the defendants, who are on bail
is likely to result in their committal to
Clonmel jail for contempt of court
