MRS. COTTER RELEASED.
udge Trout Reduced the Bail From
$4,000 to $4,000.

Judge Trout Reduced the Bail From
425,0OO to $1,000.
Mrs. Cotter, who killed her husband. Po-
liceman Colter. few days ago, and was
held by Police Judge RiX, with bond fixed
al $4,000 appeared before Judge Trout
yesterday afternoon with her attorney, j. n.
E. Wilson, and asked to have the bond re-
duced to 5000.
The circumstances of the case were briefly
reviewed and tie fact made prominent that
the Corouer's jury completely exonerated her
of the crime. While that had 10 weight in
law it certainly should be regarded as a fair
indication OF popular sentiment. Even the
committing magistrate was in doubt, and
the woman was held because lie preferred
not tn err on the wrong side.
Judge Trout seemed to regard the case as
merltlng much mere considerable treatment
and readily consented 10 reduce the bail. A
few minutes later the DondSmen were pro-
duced and qualified. They are Irvine Ora
ham, Secretary of the Grand Jury, of pol
Front street, and p. Nolan, who conducts a
livery stable on California street. between
Polk and Van Ness avenue.

PREVIOUS THREATS MADE.

posed that he once heard Venagia say to
Cali, Il want some money: when are you
going to pay me?" Cali replied, When
the proper papers come" CALI had heard
picked UP u knife aud said IF you have
the courage to kill me take this aud do 1t"
CALI then went into rear apartment and
Nenagia showed witness a stiIleto and said ::
IF he don't pay me l will make him pay
me with this"
G. Malprat;i, fruit-vender, tried to give
in very broken English a very rambling ac-
count of a quarrel between Call aud Ven
aglia, but it tried sorely the patience of the
Court and of the stenographer in trying to
follow it. Finally it was evolved from him
that Venaglia had stated to him that he
(Venagia) would give CALI two shots.
The case was rested at this point. and
Venagla was held by Judge Rix for trial on
o charge OF murder without bail.

Speed and Form In Ships.
Scribner's Monthly,

The primary condition for high speed
is fineness of form, so that the water at
the bow of the vessel may be separated
and thrown to one side and brought to
rest again at the stern and behind the
vessel with the least possible disturb
ance, and the measure of efficiency of
form for the maximum speed intended
is inversely at the height Of the waves
Of disturbance.
A ship that has been designed to attain
a speed of fifteen knots will, when NOV
ing at twelve knots, show very slight
disturbance indeed, and in one designed
for eighteen knots, when moving at this
lower speed, it will be scarcely observa-
BILE; but however fine the lines of a ship
may be, she must at every speed pro-
duce some disturbance, although it may
be very slight, as the water displaced by
her must be raised above the normal
level and replaced at the normal level;
hence, at or near the bow of ship there
is always the crest of wave, and at OF
near the stern the hollow of one.
When vessel is going at its maximum
speed, and is properly designed for that
speed, the wave should not be very high,
nor should it extend beyond the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the bow; like
wise the wave of replacement should be
the same at or near the stern of a ship,
and the "wake" or disturbance of water
left behind in the track of the shir
sh0nld be narrow.

Mccullough Echoes.
Boston Globe.1

Joseph Haworth in private lifes is a
student. When away'from the theater
Haworth spends all his spare times in
completing the life of John MCCULLOUGH.
Haworth has an autograph letter from
Mccullough which money could not buy:
1t was written several days previous to
the death of the tragedian. It was
probably the last letter written by Nc
Cullough, in view of the fact that for
months previous to death his brain was
shattered. "We will climb the ladder
of fame together, Joe," he said, "and
viii help you until we both reach the top
round"
Mccullough had valet named Bob
Prtchard, who was curious fellow"
said Haworth, recently. "He was a
thrifty Scotchman, and to save money
he always made his bed in McCullough's
dressing-room in the theater. Once John
missed handsome robe which he wore
in Richerd ILL., 1t couldn't be found.
Finally, several months later, when
playing in New York, two little Pritch-
ards came to the theater, and the dresses
which they wore were cut from Nc
Culloughs handsome robe.
"Pritchard expressed his sympathy
cur1ously the day the guv'nor was
buried.
"'Hewas great man, Mr.. Haworth,'
he sobbed, a good man. Many dress
