Ten days later, when the other de.
tectives had given up the case as
hopeless went to Mr.. Ames and
asked:
"About how much is Mr. Ralston. the
cashier Of the local bank, estimated to
be worth9'
"some 10000. should say" was the
reply.
"He could noteasilyraiset that amount
of ready money!"
''I think mott
''Mr. Templeton was very method
ical in his business habits, under

HE was"
HE would not have been likely to
issue checks without making a note of
them on the stubs in his cx-book2"
"No."
''Within the last month Mr.. Ralston
has paid out betw cen So, 900 and $40, 900
for stocks and for margins; in the local
bank to-day are checks to a similar
amount bearing the signature Of Hor-
ace Templeton-genuine or forged
none of which are recorded on the stubs
in his check-book.
"Whatl" fairly screamed Mr.. Ames.
ION the morning of the 18th, in Mr..
Templeton's library" began, giving
no heed to Mr.. Ames' exclamation, ~
found what escaped the notice of my
brother detectives-a peach stone in a
stove, SO moist as to indicate that the
peach from which it came had been
eaten not long before.
ST suspected that poison had been ad-
ministered to Mr.. Templeton through
the medium of this fruit and resolved
to base my investigation upon the sup
position that this was the case.
1.-THE physician to whom stated my
suspicious reluctantly and secretly re-
moved the stomach from Mr.. Temple
toms entombed body. An analysis re-
vealed undigested pieces Of a peach and
enough prussic acid to kill half a dozen
men.
81 learned that when Mrs. Temple
ton, that fatal evening, left her home
to attend the prayer meeting Mr.. Raj
ston was chatting with her husband;
that the day before he had received a
basket Of peaches by express; that at
the time of his death Mr.. Temp1eton,
though extremely fond Of them, had no
peaches In his house.
"These circumstances led me to in
vestigate Mr.. Ralston's pecuniary af-
fairs and discovered the facts which I
have given to you.
THAT is all have to say"
eft is enough" returned Mr.. Ames,
trembling like Leaf
Cashier Ralston was charged with the
murder of Mr.. Templeton, arrested and
confronted with the evidences of his
guilt. At first he protested his inno-
cence, but his manner, information, and
the expression of his countenance belied
his words
Finally he confessed that he had
caused Mr.. Templeton's death, as had
surmised, refusing to tell where he had
obtained the poison; that he had in
ficted the blows upon the dead mans
head and made the mud tracks on the
carpet to induce the belief that resulted
from them; that he threw the peach
stone into the stove and had no idea
that, If seen, it would be given any
consideration; that, owing to disastrous
speculations, he was on the verge of
financial ruin and had forged Mr.. Tenn
pleton's name to a large amount Of
paper which he had used as "collater-
all that he had committed the murder
toprevent the discovery of his forgeries.
He was sentenced to be hanged, but

ties and has additional features of COM
fort. The first cut represents the dress
in entirety as pretty and simple house
costume. 1t consists of a full, plain
skirt to which is attached plain waist,
the front of which is tucked. The back
is plain and unlined across the shoulders.
1t is finished with close sleeves,
which come about halfway to the
elbow. Above this is worn short cut
away Zouave jacket, rounded from the
throat to below the arm, when it is
straight and plain across the back.
(The artist has given slant lines rather
than curves, representing the jacket
very imperfectly-i truth, neither of
the figures is as good as the writer's
design.) This is unlined, and is finished
with corded edge. If preferred, the
Zouave may be given a longer slope,
thus bringing it just to the waist line
in the back, in which case the entire
back of the underwaist should be I'M
lined.
The second cut represents the Zouave
thrown aside, leaving a most useful
dress. The soiled sleeve problem is
thus fully solved, and not only that, but
a cooler dress is provided during active
exercise of muscles of the arms, chest
and back. The underwaist is finished
with plated standing collar. If pre-
ferred, a rolling collar or a fat round
collar may be given to the Zouave. To
,be comfortable and healthful, the waist
must be loose enough to admit of rails

Roundabout Neuraleia Cures.

Neuralgia in the face has been cured
by applying mustard plaster to the
elbow. For neuralgia in the head, APP
ply the plaster to the back of the neck.
The reason for this is that mustard is
said to touch the nerves the moment it
begins to draw or burn, and to be Of
most use must be applied to the nerve
centers, or directly over the place where
it will touch the affected nerves most
quickly.

Interesting Letter from Artimore, 1T.
AS ] saw my first article in print that
told of the advantages of farming in the
Territory, am here again to tell YOU
something about the fruit and flowers
that grow wild in this territory. Iwrite
simply because my working days are over
and resort to this plan of employing
my mind. The grape spontaneous
ly here and is as fine as the cultivated
grape in the States. Strawberries are
Just as fine as any cultivated strawberry
you ever saw. Dewberries and the ma
jority of the blackberries are cultivated.
Black haws are in abundance. Plums
are plentiful. Pacans, walnuts and many
other fruits and nuts could name. and
our prairies are glittering with beautiful
wild flowers. There may be some that
will say that flowers are of no permanent
value, but for myself l am happy 70
state that l do not belong to that partic-
ular class. The refined of all the world
love flowers, and it is almost thing of
certainty that a person of refinement
thinking of changing locations to new
country would find no small degree of
attraction in a knowledge of the fact
that the land thought of for the new
home was literally land of flowers. The
beautiful flowers are here; but the peo-
pie at distance who have never visited
the territory in the season of wild flowers
do not know it. People from the States
come here in winter, and follow the wild
geese in their northward fight 80 soon as
spring begins to appear. They know
nothing of our delightful spring and
summer time beyond what they have
heard, and much they have heard has
sprung from the imagination OF persons
who never spent spring and summer in
the territory. Let us tell them some
thing of what we stay-at-home folks have
to make us happy while they are away.
Our display of wild flowers is too grand
to admit Of any general description that
could convey to the-stranger an idea of IL
all. Bordering upon the reality 1t is
certainly passing strange that while the
world abroad has heard 30 much of the
advantages of the territory the native
Towering plants have almost been
wholly left out of mention. We think
the most beautiful boquet of flowers
wild or tame that we have seen was
shown to us this week by lady friend.
1t was composed of rich specimens repre-
sented in at least dozen species, all ar
ranged with the test of taste as TO har-
mony OF color. Every appearance Of the
composition might have been accepted
as painting TO the handy work of train
ed artist done in some millionair's con-
'ervatory. and yet every flower had been
gathered by her on the prairies Of the
Indian Territory in the neighborhood of
ArdmOre.
Truly, nature has made the Indian
Territory for wonderful country.
1t this article is rejected doubtless the
waste basket is at hand. GRAND Ma.

TAX DELINQUENTS.
There Are About 10000 on the
Roll of 1890.

Tax Collector O'Brien has just finished
making out the list of delinquents and yes
terday dismissed the eleven deputies who
were engaged on the work. He finds that in
round numbers there are about 10000. This
is new wrinkle for the Tax Collectors
Office and was instituted at Mr.. OBrien's
suggestion two or three months ago, when
the Board of Supervisors decided to do away
with the collection of delinquent taxes by
means of special counsel.
Heretofore attorneys were appointed by
the board to collect delinquent taxes for GER
tain years, and for their compensation were
allowed a certain commission. Under this
regime each attorney so appointed was re-
quired to compile his special delinquent
list. for which, however, the city paid, and
it cost annually about $500.
The plan of appointing special attorneys
Tor the purpose proved entirely unsatisfac-
tory. 1t gave rise to many abuses and in
every case to the detrimeut of the city.
While there are no positive instances at
hand, 1t Is morally certain that these attOr-
neys frequently accepted small sums from
Acknowledgment than they would receive
as commission If the tax was colected-not
to prosecute. Hence the city lost, and the
tax will always be delinquent.
Hereafter the City and County Attorney
will attend TO The collection of delinquent
taxes, and it was for his use that these lists
were prepared. Since it came right along
with the Tax Collectors routine work and
occasioned no extra force it is saving of
$500 to the city.
In day or two, provided the necessary
stationery will be allowed him by the
Finance Committee, Mr.. O'Bren will send
out about 10000 notices to the better class
of these delinquentS, informing them of
their delinquency, the amount, ETC.. and
asking them TO come up and pay. The first
notices were sent out some six weeks ago at
a cost of $780, and had the effect of bring
ing in about 5000 of the delinquency
The next notices will cost about 500, and
may bring in several thousand more, all of
which Is just so mucn help in wiping out
last years shortage.

ONE OF THE MANY.
The Sad Experience Of Poor
Young Artist.

A rather sad case, by no means uncom-
mon, but none the less unfortunate, came to
light in the Health Office Yesterday.
Among the numerous daily visitors at
that place was delicate young man of fine
address. unusually prepossessing and who
left the impression at glance as being con-
siderably above the average in refinement
He asked for burial permit, aud explained
in a sad tone and as few words as possible
that he wished the authorities to take charge
of the burial
Clerk Lawlor was somewhat surprised at
this request. and. as the rules of the DEPART
meut require, inquired into the case.
The young man explained frankly, yet in
the same sad AMI quiet mann er, that he was
an artist by profession, in strange land,
among strangers, With sick wife, dead
child, no work and no money. He had
formerly lived in New York City, where he
piled his vocation, with varying success, for
many years. His health. however. was
poor. lie had heard many glowing accounts
OF California as a splendid place for health,
and. particularly of San Francisco, as full
of good openings for ambitious young
artists. Under the star of evil omen they
packed their worldly goods, gathered in
their none too robust exchequer and started
for the sunset.
They arrived in San Francisco seven
months ago. since that time the young
man said he had been absolutely unable 10
get work. He had tried this and that de-
vice, but all had failed He had done some
scenic work, hoping TO get it accepted at
one of the theaters, all to no avail.
Driven to the last desperate resource he
undertook hard manual work as a common
laborer. His delicate constitution, unac-
customed 10 such violent usage, broke down
at the end of the first day, and he was weeks
recovering His scanty hoard was rapidly
fading away. His wife was in delicate
health, and on Wednesday morning her
child was born. The frail, little thing
seemed hardly more than breath of life.
Its little pulse beat but seven hours. To
day il will be buried in the Potter'S Field.
The young mans name is j. Tyrreil, and
he and his wife occupy modest quarters at
the corner OF Fifth and Mission streets.

switchmen Slightly Injured.

A railroad accident near tho Potrero,
about $50 o'clock yesterday morning re
suited in the death Of one man and the in
jury of two others. John w. Molloy, a
cooper, employed at the Spreckes Sugar
Refinery, was the victim of the disaster.
At o'clock he kissed his wife good-by
aud left his home. at 159 Clara street, TO go
to work. Soon after he crossed Long
Bridge on his way to the POtrero and sighted
a Southern Pacific cattle train bound for
South San Francisco, as was his habit he
boarded the train and crawled to the top of
one of the cars. The train ran along
smooi!:ly until the switch opposite the Arctic
Oil Works was reached
The switch was open, but before this fact
was discovered the cars were derailed.
There was sudden crash, followed by the
noise of grinding timbers and iron. Molloy
was caught between two cars and crushed.
He was extricated from the wreck and re-
moved to the Receiving Hospital in patrol
wagon. An examination showed that both
legs were broken in several places and
there were several ugly cuts and bruises on
his body. The unlucky cooper had also re-
ceived internal injuries.
Police Surgeon Williams and his assistants
concluded that an operation would be use
less, as the mangled man was beyond sur
gcal aid. He sauk rapidly until 10 o'clock,
when he breathed his last. His remains
were removed to the Morgue, where Core
ners jury was impaneled and the inquest
