The Son OF a Wealthy Widow Abbre-
viates His Downward Career.
SAN FRANcIsCo, Sept. 19.-B. McMul-
lin, formerly of this city but lately
resident of Fresno, committed suicide
early this morning in a house of i'll
repute by shooting himself in the mouth
with pistol. The young man, who was
25 years of age, walked into the place
with a woman named Matte Raymond,
with whom it is said he was on familiar
terms. The woman soon after ran out
and a shot was heard. McMullin was
found lying on the bed with
his hand grasping a smoking pis-
tol. The deceased had only been
in this city about two weeks. He had
quarrel with the woman, having been
indulging in liquor, and it is thought
something she said prompted him to
kill himself 1t is also the opinion of
those who were in the house that it was
McMullin's intention to kill the woman,
but she ran out Of the room before he
could do her injury. The deceased, it is
said, is the son OF a respectable and
prominent widow, who is now in
Europe. The cause of the young mans
act is supposed to have been jealousy.
Fresno, CAL, Sept. 19.-Barney Nc
Mullen, who committed suicide at San
Francisco this morning, was the son of
former capitalist of that city, and a big
land owner. His mother is now travel
ing in Europe. His brother Hon. j. G.
McMulen, left for the city at noon. The
Young man had been indulging in
liquor, and it is supposed his brain was

THE GALAVOTTI MURDER
A MAN ARRESTED SUSPECTED OF
THE CRIME.
The Real Culprit However, is Believed to
! Be Clarke, Who is Still at Large-Ofh-
GERS in Pursuit and Bloody Battle
Expected-Sherif Dunster Charged
With Cowardice.

NEVADA, CAL, Sept. 19.-Constable
Butler, of Rocklin, Placer county, ar
rived this evening with Charles NJ. Car
men, arrested by him at Roseville juno
ton early yesterday morning, on suspi-
cion of being the murderer of Superin-
tendent Galavotti. Some railroad men
claim to recognize him as a desperate
who was driven out of Fresno last year,
although he claims never to have been
there. He is loquacious and protests
his innocence. 1t is generally thought
here that he is not the man wanted.
Constable Penrose and Phil Folke,
who left North Bloomfield on horse back
yesterday morning to follow the suspect
Clarke into the Meadows Lake county,
have not been heard from since. Alarm
concerning their welfare is felt on all
sides at North Bloomfield. They are
brave fellows, experienced hunters and
unerring rifemen. If they run Clarke
down, and he shows fight, there will be
bloodshed. Ii John Clarke takes a
hand with his brother George in trying
to stand off the pursuers, it may result
in no one being left to tell the story of
the battle.
NEVADA, CAL, Sept. 19.-This even
ing's Transcript publishes letter signed
by thirty leading business and mining
men of North Bloomfield charging Sher-
if Dunster with incompeteIcy and cow
ardice, in failing to . arrest George
Clarke Thursday afternoon suspect
ed of the murder of Superintendent
Galavotti. Dunston replies that he per-
formed his duty as far as warranted by
the facts in the case.

In cross-examination the defendant
remained consistent with this state

court and audience by announcing that
probably he would call no other wit

call more witnesses in rebuttal next

financial disabilities. It seems to reside
only within the political condition,
which, while extremely favorable to
Canada, so far as freedom and good
government are concerned, neverthe-
less by her foreign policy, has materially
retarded her progress. For selfish DO
litical ends a barrier has been erected
athwart the continent which COM
pletely isolates one section of
the English speaking race from
the other, and which even great tun-
nels and great railway arteries pierce in
vain, so far as increase in intimacy of
relations between the two peoplesis con-
cerned. No trade between the two
countries will exist to justify so large
an expenditure so long as the policies of
both are actuated by reciprocity in
tariffs rather than reciprocity in trade.
Let US hope that the great tunnel which
we now inaugurate, will illustrate the
blessed advantage of unrestricted inter-
course to such degree that before long
the perfect reciprocity which exists be-
tween the states OF the union, and
the provinces of the dominion, will be
created between the two nations"
DESCRIPTION OF THE TUNNEL.
This triumph of modern engineering
has been achieved under the swift outlet
OF Lake Huron to supersede the ferry
system of transporting the traffic of the
Grand Trunk route from the American
to the Canadian banks. The tunnel
under the river is over mile long, and
is lined throughout with solid cast-iron
plates bolted together il segments. The
total length of the tunnel and its ap-
proaches is little over two miles. At
functions with the Grand Trunk rail
road on the Canadian side and the Chi
cago and Grand Trunk railroad on the
American side OF the river. The cost OF
the tunnel proper was 81, 100000.

THE BARDsLEY SCANDAL.
Auditor C eneral McCammant Compelled
to Testify.


HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 19.-At this
mornings session of the legislative COM
mittee investigating the affairs of the
state treasurer and auditor-general's
Office, Auditor-General McCammant was
subjected to a rigid examination. In
answer to questions as to why Bardsley
was permitted to retain the LIQUOR IL
cense money long after it was due the
state, the auditor-general said he fre-
Quently pressed Bardsley for settle
ment, but was put off with all manner
of excuses from time to time {;
among other things that more time was
asked by the banks in which the funds
were deposited, owing to the stringency
in the money market. The auditor
general denied emphatically that he had
any knowledge of Bardsley collecting
state taxes and holding the money in
the banks for his own purposes and
benefit. There was no arrangement be-
tween Bardsley and himself regarding
the state funds, nor between Bardsley
and any agent Of his, and he had de-
rived no political or personal gain. A
letter bearing the signature of the au-
ditor general, dated September 3, 1889,
asking Bardsley for 100000, as the state
treasury was a little pressed, and it
would help him out, was read. A letter
from Cashier Livesey, dated November
26, 1889, told Bardsley he need only send
$4,000. McCammant said he did not
compel Bardsley to make full returns,
because Captain Hart, the former etAte
treasurer, said he would take charge of
the matter.

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 19.-Mail Clerk
Lyons, who was among the injured in
the accident on the Union Pacific, near
Port Neuf, yesterday, was fearfully
scalded and received internal injuries.
Engineer Hoyt had. his shoulder blade
broken, and is otherwise badly bruised.
Mackenzie and Gunderson both had
their right arms broken, and were terri
bly, cut on the bodies.
When train No. 2l left Pocatello, the
conductor had orders to side track and
pass No. at Port Neuf station. AS
No. 2. neared that point it was
discovered that No. 1, west
bound, had the right of way
and was just stopping. The engineer
on No. 2 examined the air brake, and
discovered that he had no control over
the train. He whistled down brakes,
but before the brakeman could respond
the trains collided.
The coroner's jury held an inquest on
the body of Weidemeyer, and attach no
blame to the railroad company, as the
air brakes were working we'll when the
train left Pocatello. Lyons, though
fearfully injured, may survive. None of
the passengers were injured.

SIANvEL ARRIVES.
The President of the Santa Fe Reaches
San Francisco.


SAN Francisco, Sept. 19.-President
Marvel, of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe road, arrived today. He will
remain till Monday, and then, with
General Agent Bissell, will 60 to Los
Angeles and San Diego, thence east over
the Santa F6 and Mexican lines.
My visit has no significance what
ever" he says. 81 try to make a trip
twice a year over the system, not only
to consider the business outlook, but to
examine the physical condition of the
system, which is my present purpose.
The general condition of the Santa Fe's
business is fairly good, although not
what we might wish. Our California
business is good, but we would do more
if we could get it to do. Our Southern
California branches are in a growing
country, and we consider them good
property, although business there dur
ing the year has not been all we could
wish. Floods and rains there have
troubled us and made heavy losses.
We have been putting the. lines
in the best possible shape to pre-
vent damage by floods. I speak of
Southern California, especially, because
the lines there are directly tributary to
our main system. There is no construc-
ton whatever being done by the Santa
Fe at present OF any point. 1t is not a
good time for building roads. The con-
dition of the money market makes it
difficult to dispose of bonds"

THE HUNNEWELL CHILD
OFFICER WRIGHT RESCUES A
TWELvE-YEAR-OL GIRL.
Her Parents Wanted to Marry Her to a
Dissolute Mantle Affair is Prevented
for the Time Being.

Another chapter in the Hunnewell case
was written yesterday, quite as peculiar
as any that have preceded it. The little
girl, who is only twelve years OF age,
has been in the custody of Humane
Officer Wright for several days. and has
been lodged by him in the same house
where the officer himself resides. Yes
terday afternoon the Hunnewell man
and woman, accompanied by young
man named Warren Brush, of East
Los Angeles, and the Rev. Dill of the
Central Baptist church, called at the
lodging house in question during the
absence of Officer Wright on his rounds,
| and marriage between young Brush
and the little Hunnewell girl was in
fair way to be performed, when the
proprietor of the lodging house
put in an appearance and inquired as
to what was going on. Being informed,
he positively refsued to allow the child
to be married in his house without the
consent of Officer Wright. The elder
Hunnewells insisted that all was correct
and exhibited license, but the lodging
house man was about to eject the whole
lot, excepting the child, when the Rev.
Dill interposed and refused to perform
the ceremony until satisfied that every
thing was as it should be.
In the mean time the little girls sister
had seen the notice in the paper of the
granting of a license to Warren
Brush and the Hunnewell child, and
in great excitement sent her husband
to hunt up Officer Wright. The officer
went to his house to find the party
gathered there again, and waiting for
him to come and give his consent to the
marriage. This the officer positively re.
fused to do, and there the matter rested
last night.
Warren Brush. the prospective hus-
band of the young girl, has such repu-
tation that Humane Officer Wright is
determined to prevent his marriage to
the young girl under his charge.
The HuAnewell woman has been for
some time supporting herself and her
husband, by her earnings, and some
idea of the mans character may be
gained from the fact that he was heard
to complain since the case got into the
newspapers, that he had always been an
unlucky man, and that just as he was
about to be able to go with his wife on
ranch and live respectfully on her saw
ings, they had been prevented by the
newspapers from doing so.
