SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17.-There were
over 200 precincts to be counted when
the election commissioners met this
morning. The count progresses very
slowly. A number of errors were found
today, but they effect no important
hanges.
A jury was secured this morning to
try Sidney Huntington and Charles
Rochette for engaging in prize fight at
the California club September 18th.
This afternoon Thomas Curley, about
22 years of age, was arrested, charged
with murder. Last Monday night a
Chinaman named How Wong was as
saulted and beaten over the head with a
club. He died Tuesday morning, and
Curley has been arrested on suspicion of
causing his death.
The coroner today held an inquest on

SUDDEN DEATH.
A Honeymoon Ends In a Distressing
Tragedy.

Coroner Weldon held an inquest yes
terday morning upon the body of James
H. Simpson, native of Wisconsin, SO
years of age, who died suddenly on Sat
urday afternoon last from hemorrhage
of the lungs, which resulted in verdict
in accordance with the facts.
From the testimony taken before the
jury of inquisition, it was learned that
Simpson, who was the proprietor of a
dairy on Electric Heights, drove into
town with his wife to do some shopping
and collect few outstanding bills. He
finally called at residence on the cor
ner of Hill and First streets, leaving his
wife sitting in the buggy. AS he turned
from the door to return to the vehicle,
he fell suddenly forward and a stream
OF blood gushed from his mouth and
nostrils. He was picked up and carried
into the house and a physician was
hastily summoned, but on his arrival
some eight minutes later he at once pro-
nounced Simpson as beyond the reach OF
human skill, death having resulted from
hemorrhage of the lungs.
The case is peculiarly distressing one,
from the fact that Simpson had been
married but few months, and was ap-
parently deriving much benefit from his
residence in this climate. He had a
slight hemorrhage some few weeks ago,
but felt much relief after it, and until a
few days before his death was apparently
in much healthier condition than before.

RED AND WHITE SCALE.
Consul Mortimer Repudiates the Scale
in the Rose Sale.

III TIE nose SaIe.
EDITORS HERALD: In the editorial
columns of today's HERALD it is stated
that 1 commended the Rose place
when it was "loaded down with red and
white scale" When / reported on the
l.. j. Rose property, in March, 1886
there was little or no scale, either red or
white, and had the written assurance
of men of unquestioned standing in the
San Gabriel valley that the white scale
had been exterminated. The editorial
further states that 1 had nothing but
senseless vituperation to extend to the
intelligent plans of the Messrs. Gay &
Elliott" | warned Englishmen that
oranges could not be grown in the Ante
lope valley, and 1 advised them not to
purchase land there without seeing it.
II this be 'senseless vituperation" of the
plans of men did not know until long
after the sale to them had been COM
pleted, then am guilty; otherwise not.
1t is clear to me that the
writer of the editorial in ques-
tion has been imposed upon, as,
apart from the statements affecting
myself, see other statements which
l cannot reconcile with the facts. 1t
appears that Mr.. Charles Elliott is the
owner of half interest in $4,000 acres
of land in the Antelope valley, and that
he has sold 1000 acres in the past week
to the Rock Creek Irrigation company
for $25 per acre. On examination of the
records in the Office of the county clerk
1 find that the Rock Creek Irrigation
company has not filed articles of incor-
poration in Los Angeles county, nor has
a decd to the company been recorded in
the Office of the county recorder. Ii
such a sale has been made am glad to
be informed of it. have invested for
clients on mortgage considerable sum
of money in the Antelope valley. These
mortgages were made ON the basis of a
valuation of $40 per acre. If, therefore,
lands there are selling for $25 an acre,
the security is just two and half times
better than thought it was.-Yours,
ETC., G. WHITE MORTIMER.

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.
The Third Annual Meeting to Be Held
Here in January.

Through the courtesy OF the proprie
tor of the Argyle" the meeting of the
executive board of the Southern Califor-
mia Press association was held at that
place yesterday, and the members roy
ally treated. The board decided to hold
the third annual meeting of the associa-
ton in this city from January 9th to
9Th. The necessary committees were
appointed to make all the needful pre-
parations. The executive committee
has prepared revision OF the constitu-
ton and bylaws of the association, the
report to be submitted to the meeting.

made out his jury list, o. KID it, and
filed it as a record in the clerks office.
1t was then handed to the clerk of the
board of supervisors, who laid it before
the board. who allowed it, and it was
! placed by the clerk on the allowance
book, copy of it being given to the
county auditor and treasurer. The
auditor, acting on this allowance sheet,
drew a warrant for $54 to f. A. Bliss for
fees and mileage as juror in January,
1889; Edelman early ir February, as
soon as the warrants were issued, hast
ened to the auditors office, presented a
slip of paper with the name on it of f.
A. Bliss. stated that he had bought the
warrant, and being county officer, upon
this representation, the warrant was
delivered to him day or two thereaf-
ter, the warrant was indorsed "F. A.
Bliss by l.. B. Cohn," presented by
Cohn to the treasurer and was by the
treasurer paid to Cohn.
Exactly the same procedure was gone
through with relating to warrant in the
name of F. A. Bliss in February, 1899,
on which yesterdays trial was based,
except that in this month there was
ordered to Bliss $64 for fees and mileage,
and Oh the jury list fee this month his
name was placed with that credit; this
list was filed by Edelman with the
supervisors, ordered and allowed by
them on the 4th day of March; dupli-
cate allowance sheets were issued to the
auditor and treasurer on the same day,
the warrants were drawn by the auditor
on the 5th, delivered to Edelman imme-
diately, on his representation that he
had bought the same from Bliss, taken
by Edelman to Cohn,i ndorsed by Cohn
''F. A. Bliss, by L. B. Cohn," presented
to the treasurer and the $64 was then
paid by Treasurer Banbury to Cohn.
All these facts were eonclusively
shown by the evidence yesterday.
Cohn yesterday said he could not re-
member that Edelman had given him
the warrant in question, though it was
shown that on several previous occa-
sions he had under oath stated that
Edelman did give him the warrant and
requested him to indorse it and present
it for payment.
cit is simply question if from the
evidence as above outlined, did or did
not Edelman caused the warrant in
question to be presented to the county
treasurer for payment?
"Did or did not Judge Wade err in
instructing the jury to return verdict
of not guilty?
''Secton Ills of the penal code pro-
vides that while the judge may instruct
the jury to acquit, the jury may disre-
gard this instruction and return ver-
dict in accordance With their own views.
They would clearly in this case do
right in taking advantage OF this
privilege"

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
The Committee of One Hundred Select
Their Candidates.


The nominating committee OF the
Municipal Reform association was called
to order in Justice Austin's courtroom
at o'clock last night, by Mr.. Bosby-
shell. All outsiders were excluded, ex-
cepting the reporters of the dailies, on
account of the exiguity of the room.

arms, and it was agreed that he should
receive $3.50 for his services. Eighty
three committeeman answered the roll
call. G.. J. Griffith thought that

already been collected, more should be
raised for the campaign, and fifteen min
utes was devoted to obtaining additional
"sinews of war;" Fiftv-fve dollars and
siXty-five cents were collected. ID. Gill
bert Dexter was requested to resign from
the committee for the reason that his
name might be presented for nomin-
alton to an important Office. Dexter re-
fused to resign and the request was
tabled. 1t was announced by the chair
that no nominating speeches should be
made, but this was afterwards changed
to two-minute talks, and nominations
were then made, the names of success
ful candidates only being given here.
