The KnifHn Murder.

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 4.-There is still
no solution of the Kniffin murder mys-
terry. The police take the ground that
while a little credit is to be given to tie
burglary theory, there is no other theory
sufficiently verified as yet to justify official
action. A youth named Louis Sicily, who
was up with a sick horse in a stable in the
rear of the Knifin residence Thursday
night is reported as saying that he heard
no noise OF any kind during the night. DR..
Kniffin this morning again refused to see
reporters. Miss Purcell could not be seen.
She is said to have recovered almost en-
tirely from prostration. An autopsy will
be made this afternoon by County Ply
stefan Leavitt.
The police have altogether dropped the
burglar theory. 1t has been learned that
Miss Purcell was not unconscious when
she was found. The conclusion has been
reached that Mrs. Knitfin's death was
caused by some powerful anaesthetic adj
ministered in a heavy dose, and not by
strangulation. Miss Purcell will have a
hard time to prove she is as innocent as
she claims, but the motive is lacking ex.
cept it is found in the rumorr that there ex-
listed between Miss Purcell and Dr..
kniffin a relationship which was at least
unlawful.
A CLUE.
TRENTON. Jan. 4.-The police found a
small cork in Mrs. kniffin's bed to-day. 1t
is said that the cork belonged to a bottle
containing chloroform kept in Or. Kniffin's
office.
Carter Discusses the Wool Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The house COM
mittee on ways and means opened its SEES
sion this forenoon by listening to the re-
marks Of Representative Carter, of Mon
tana, who spoke in relation to the sheep
hu>bandry, particularly on the eastern
slope OF the Rocky mountain country. lie
thought II there was no tariff on wool that
tie wool industry of Montana would be
destroyed. Mr.. Shepard, a wool grower of
Texas, said the subject assigned to him by
the president of the National Wool Grow
erS association, was the ability of the Uni
ted States to raise all the carpet wool con-
Sulned i'll the country, and he proceeded to
read a paper to prove that with a sufficient
protection it could be done. In Texas it
costs from 15c to 1Sc a pound to produce
fine wool.

NEW YORK. Jan. 3.-The president has

THE CORONER BUSY.
1nquests Held Yesterday on Two I'm
fortunates.


Coroner Weldon held two inouests
yesterday, the first being upon the body
of Michael. Cramer, the boiler maker,
who died on the train near Pasadena on
Sunday afternoon from injuries received
in the collision and explosion ON the
Atlantic and Pacific road near the
Needles on Saturday morning last, while
en- route to this city for medical treat
ment. The facts elected from the testi-
mony taken before the jury of inquisi-
ton were simply reiteration of those
already published in the HERALD, and
the jury returned a verdict in accord
ance Herewith.
The second inquest was held in the
afternoon, on the body of an Italian
miner, named Succio Stefano, 81 years
of age, who died at the Roma hotel
on North Alameda street early yesterday
mornings from natural causes. On
Wednesday last, Stefano arrived in
this city from Bixby, Arizona, and took
a room at the Roma hotel. Shortly
after his arrival he was taken sick
with typhoid fever and DIR. Nadeau
was summoned to attend him. He
appeared to be in fair way to recover
on Sunday night, and his landlord,
Ferdniado Bessolo, at his request made
him cucumber salad, of which he ate
heartily, about ten o'clock. He was
left alone for the night apparently much
better for the meal, but lat five O'Clock
yesterday morning when his landlord
called to attend to his requirements, he
was Mortified to find that his guest was
dead. The jury returned verdict of
death from natural causes.

PURE PRIMARIES.
Democratic Clubs Want Such Elections
Held Under the State Law.

At a meeting held last night of COM
mittees from the Alliance, Iroquos,
Jackson, Pond Spanish-American, Sec
ond Ward and Plata Fina clubs, the fol-
lowing resolutions were presented:
To the Honorable Democratic County Central
Committee of Los Angeles county:
Gentlemen:
WHEREAS 1t is believed that fairness and
purity IN elections and harmony in
the Democratic party will be promoted by h5ld-
ing the primary election to choose delegates to
the approaching Democratic county convention
of Los Angeles county, under the state primary
election law; therefore
Resolved, We, the undersigned Democratic
clubs of Los Angeles county, by their duly
appointed representatives, do most respectfully
petition your honorable body to cause said pri
mary election to be called and held under said
state election law
Action was then deferred until next
Saturday afternoon at l 80 o'clock, in
order to give an opportunity for other
Democratic organizations to send COM
mittees to discuss the resolutions.
Los Angeles herald. [volume] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1890-1893, 1890-08-26

of this city open for more than eight months
the ensuing year,
RESOLVED, That we deplore the necessity of
thus closing the public schools by the council
as a public calamity
RESOLVED, That committee be appointed by
the president to confer with the council and
city attorney as to the legality of this resolu-
ton.
In support OF this resolution Mr.. Ellis
stated that before the meeting of the
board he had been informed by the
president of the council in the office Of
the city clerk, that the council had made
a considerable reduction from the
amount asked by the board. In response
to his query as to the cause for this re-
duction he had received the startling
reply that the salaries of the teachers
must be reduced.
They had been reduced all around,
and were very much lower in most in
stances than the salaries paid in other
cities in the state. The fact that the
schools would not open until October
first instead of in September next, alone
meant saving to the city of about
$4,000, and the salaries of many of the
teachers had been reduced this year, as
compared with last year.
Mr.. Gosper, in seconding the motion
to adopt the resolutions, heartily con-
Cured in Mr.. Dllis' remarks. The
resolution having been adopted unani-
mously, the chairman appointed Messrs.
Ellis, Gosper, and Woodbury. as a COM
mittee to confer with the city attorney.
The board then adjourned.

San Diego man was then seen, and
he said, ''They say they will give Bowers
twenty-four votes, do they? Well
that's kind, l must say. Do you know
the Markham men traded our delega-
ton solid at Sacramento eleven times
We just let them do as they wanted
with us, on the understanding that
they were to stand in on Bowers. Do
you think our people will stand that, or
consider twentyfour votes return for
it? Not much, sir"
what will you do if Bowars don't get
the no mination ?"
'Well, don't like to say what will be
done. But l can tell you that the voters
down there will resent it in earnest if he
gets left. There is very strong feeling
about it. We have been rolling up
Republican majority every election, and
have never got anything in return. Now
we ask for something and if we don't get
it, don't think that majority will be
rolled up this time. See''
The Fresno convention will consist of

A THOROUGHBRED RASCAL.
The Remarkable Criminal Career of 7
B. Stock.

A leading firm of solicitors received a
letter from their correspondent at Wat
ertown, New York, which contains the
latest chapter in the history OF refugee
from American Justice named j. B.
Stock, who was wanted in Philadelphia
and New York for forgery when
he arrived here eight days ago, says
a special to the st. Louis Republic from
Montreal, dated August 18th. Here he
beat widow who had taken him into
partnership out of $4,000, and with it
started stock, oil and grease company
Stock lived in Cote St. Louis, suburb
OF Montreal, where he became pillar
of the Methodist church and president
of the Royal Templars of Temperance.
At this time he had living here three
wives, one at Cote St. Louis, with two
children one tt st. Albert and one at
SuttermOnt, with one child. All these
places are suburbs of Montreal, and how
he kept the three women apart is hard
to explain. The grease company did
not pay, and he fled after committing
the forgery, taking with him the money
he had collected to purchase an organ
for his church. Detectives looked
in vain for him, but the letter
in question states that he went to
Ogdensburg, where he failed to form a
partnership with Mr.. Shelton, and
thence to Watertown. There he went
into business with Mr.. Wood, but in the
absence of his partner he induced his
wife to turn all her property into cash,
and the two eloped together, leaving
their families. They went to Chicago,
where they bought tickets for San Fran
cisco, but further than that their move
ments have not been traced.

session last night, president A. E. Pome-
roy, in the chair The ew member,
DR.. R. W. Morris, having been intro
duced by the chairman to the members
of the board, took his seat as the sue
cessor of Mr.. j. E, Cox, for the first
time.
The report of the finance committee
was taken up and demands amounting
in the aggregate to $9l41.09 were APP

mendations, Mr.. Whaling alone voting
negatively.
A communication was received from
the Grown Hills improvement society
asking the board, in view of the pros
pective change in the names of several
of the streets, that the Collado street
school be named Crown Hills school,
and the Beaudry street school be named
the Fremont school. Referred to the
building committee. a
A number of applications for positions
as janitors in the public schools of the
city were received and referred to the
janitors' committee.
In accordance with the recommendation
of the building committee extra contracts
with the contractors for the East Side
and San Pedro street schools were APP
proved, Mr.. Whaling alone voting neg
atively. These were for extra steps
rendered nescessary on account OF the
difference of thesgrades from that shown
on the original plans.
Gov. Gosper stated in reply to an in
quiry from Mr. Powers relative to the
Breed street school, that the building
committee had just learned that the
council had reduced the boards allow
ance by $1,000, and in view of that fact
the building committee was unable to
recommend conscientiously that any fur
Their improvements be undertaken for
the present. Mr.. Ellis then offered the
following resolutions:

Many Mechanical Aids.

With the development of the boot and
shoe industry there has been a correspond
ing increase in mechanical aids to the shoe
maker who works on the bench, the manu-
factprer who employs hundreds of hands,
and the shoe repairer. Of machinery, tools
and supplies for those who turn out foot
gear there are now no less than 1888 articles,
all regularly listed and catalogued. Some
of these 1873 articles are made in almost
endless varieties. There are, for instance,
twenty-three kinds of shoe knives, over
twenty varieties of button fasteners, lasts
and jacks without end, hundreds of minor
machines duly protected by patents,
twenty-eight threading machines, while of
peg, shank, box, fudge, stitch, cord and
bottom wheels there is a bewildering vari-
