IDA SHADDOCK'S DEATH.
DR.. Hall Tells of His Connection
With 1t.

The mystery surrounding the death of Ida
Shaddock soon after leaving the train at
Benicia on Tuesday morning has been
partly cleared by certain discoveries made
in this city. 1t appears that after leaving
the house of her father, j. c. Shaddock, at
Sites, Colusa County, she came here and
registered at the Russ House on March Sth.
She remained there until the 21st, when she
went to the Office of DR.. Samuel ii. Hall at
426 Kearny street and informed him that
she was in delicate condition.
DIR. Hall made statement to Chief Crow
ley yesterday, in which he frankly con-
fessed all he knew In connection with the
case. He said that when Miss Shadd0ck
cana 10 his Office she Informed him she was
in trouble, that she was soon TO become a
mother, and that for several days she had
suffered great pain. Il told her" SAID ne,
that she could make home in my house
at AL Seventeenth street, during her trouble.
She went to my house the next day and re-
manned there until after still-born child
was delivered There was danger OF blood
poisoning and l called in DR.. MacLean for
consultation"
DR.. Hall further said that Miss Shaddock
insisted upon returning home, and said that
when on the train she would be all right,
and he accordingly escorted her to the train
ana left her in the care of young Pietre. 1t
is his opinion that she sank suddenly from
blood poisoning.
John McCarvlle, the locomotive fireman,
who was eng ged TO marry Miss Shaddock.
is in the city trying 10 prove that she could
not have done wrong He declares that Dr..
Hall is not the man who put her aboard the
train at the Oakland mole, but the police are
satisfied, however, that DR.. Hall was the
man, although his description does not cor
respond with that given by those who saw
her and her escort board the train.
Now that the investigating officers have
an important cleW they intend to slit the
affair TO the bottom.

A MAGNESIA FIEND.
Dama's Death Said to Have Been
Caused by the Drug.

The trial of the Dana will case was re-
sumed by Judge Coffey yesterday. Thomas
L. Knox, stenOgrapher, was examined
and testified that he and his wife had studied
music with Dana. He identified certain
documents, including one purporting to be
the last will, as in the handwriting Of the
deceased. Knox also stated, that he was in
Dama's house on the night of his death.
On one of his visits he met Mr.. French.
He had met Mrs. Sara Barker Smith and
frequently saw her at the house, but not to
form her acquaintance. He had never known
Julius p. Smith in Dama's lifetime, but had
met Miss Belle Harris for the first time after
the professors death and had some CONVEX
sation with her on the subject.
She said Dana was magnesa fiend, and
that she had frequently resorted To ex-
pedients to correct this habit. as she
had learned by inquiry that it was very
injurious to the intestineS, and this
she believed was what caused his death.
she said he was Unfortunately fond of the
drug, and consumed it as an opium fipnd
consumes opium-not in the same manner,
but with equal avidity. She also spoke of
the professors liking for herself and his
dislike for others, including the Rev. Mr..
Worcester
Miss Harris told Knox that she had visited
him as an official of the courts, because she
thought there was something wrong and
that she believed there was another will.

The Circulation of 1.-THE Call" as Com
pared With Other Papers.
The case of John White against Peter
Mccarthy was heard in Judge Hoge's
court yesterday, Mr.. Stranahan appearing
as attorney for Mr.. White and Mr.. Crothers
representing the defendant, Mccarthy. The
suit was brought for the purpose of COM
polling the payment OF commission
claimed by the plaintiff for an alleged sale,
made by him as a broker of a certain news
paper route of THE MORNING CALL. 1t
was shown by the defendant that the al
legged sale was negotiated, not by White,
but by Mr. Kenny, and that the sale was
never cOnsummated, owing TO the fact that
the consent OF the prOprietOrS of The CALL
was not obtained, and that the proposed
buyer was unable, owing to the great num-
Der of subscribers, to learn the entire route,
although be assisted in carrying it five or
six weeks. Mr. Ash, the purchaser of the
route, in his testimony, stated that he was
CARRYING the Examiner and the Report over
the same route and had no difficulty in max
ing his deliveries, as the circulation of
those papers was small, the Examiner hav-
ing only 21S subscribers on the entire route.
At the close of the testimony the case was
submitted without argument, and judgment
was rendered for defendant, with costs OF
suit,

PARK MUSIC.
Railroad Companies Too Poor to Sup

Railroad Companies Too Poor to Sup
port Band.
Since 1884 the Market-street Cable Rail-
way System has paid S45, 900 for park music,
the entire expense of supporting a park
band falling upon this company. When the
Powell and Omnibus lines we're completed
an agreement was entered into between the
companies by which the PowelI-street Com
pany was to pay the sum Of S145 per month
and the Omnibus $3.50. The compact ex-
pired April 1st.
The Market-street system offers $3.50 per
month on a new contract, if the other lines
which receive benefit from park travel will
contribute like sum.
The Omnibus line will give only $3.50, and
the Powell and Jackson street people will
not give single cent. Here the matter
rests. The people arc looking to the Park
Commissioners for solution, and the Park
Commissioners are looking to the street rail-

An inquest was commenced yesterday
afternoon in the case of Henry Pfennig.

moved to the Occidental. He had fnan-
cially assisted Pfenuig on several occasions
when remittances had been slow in arriving

t. shoot himself, but on another occasion he
changed his mind about the proposed route
to eternity and declared that he would buy
rope to hang himself.
John Haster testified in reference to find
ing the body in the bay near Goat Island,
but as the COroner's jury was anxious to
hear from certain blonde upon whom
Pfenng is said to have squandered consider
able money, an adjournment was taken I'M
til this afternoon. In the meantime an eff
fort will be made to find that woman.

DEF ECTlVE MALLEY RELEASED
No Case Made Against Him in the
JuryFINng Matter at
New Orleans.

New Orleans, La, Oct S-Dsm-
mick OMalley, the detective who
figured SO conspicuously in the Hen
messy murder trial. and WHO was
supposed to have b.ibed the jury
and thus precipitxted the Parish
Prison lynching aud the Italian af
fair, was tried to day 4nder the in
dictment for jury bribery found
against him at th. Hennesy trial,
aud discharged as the state had no
evidence whatever against him, the
only evidence it offered being ruled
out.
The news created quite \ sensa-
ton. for ali immense majority of the
people believed that O'Malley was a
jury 61er, that he Dribed the jury in
this case and that there would be
little trouble to prove it. At the
time of the disturbance here in
March the feeling against O'Malley
was more intense than against the
supposed assassins. The committee
of Safety ordered him to leave the
city, but he refused to do SO. After
the lynchiug at the Parish Prison,
the mob marched to O'Malley's Of
| tice to lyuch him, but friend had
given him timely warning aud he es
capped few minutes before the
crowd broke in. Had he been caught
then or within few days afterwards
he would have been summarily dealt
with, but although he was hunted
high and low it was impossible to
find him. To the surprise Of all and
before the excitement had cooled
down O'Malley put in his appear
ance. He had heard, he said, that
the grand jury had indicted him and
he came to stand trial. There were
some whispers Of lynching, but his
boldness and courage saved him
The bribery trial against him was
postponed several times, but came
up finally to day, when the state
abandoned it and entered a plea of
nolle prosequi. 1t was popularity be.
lieved that there would be no diff
Guilty in convicting O'Malley, and
this ending Of the case was consid
cradle surprise to all. O'Malley al
ways insisted that the indictments
against him were found simply to
Justify the lynching. To do this it
was necessary the charge that the
Jury had been bribed. and az he
managed the case for the Italians
the bribery was fixed on hlm.
1t is probable that now that O.
Aalley is out of danger from the
law he will have something to say
of the Hennesy murder and the Par
ish Prison lynching.
II have been asked to keep quiet
he said to-day and allow the matter
to be forgotten. l will not be vim
dictive, but l do not propose to lie
the matter stand"
