ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
The Grand Jury Wants to Know How the
Bill Passed.

Ine OTanu Jury w ants TO hnOW now Jne
Bill Passed.
1t is understood now that the Grand Jury
has another sensation ready to be sprung on
the public. 1t is in the nature of an inquiry
into the true inwaJdness of the electric rail-
read legislation at Sacramento last spring,
about which there was SO much scandal at
the time, and concerning which the public
generally believes there vas a deal of cor
rupt buying and selling.
When the bill authorizing the construction
Of electric railroads made its first appear
ance in the Assembly 1t was opposed by
Dibble OIL San francisco and Robinson Of
SiSkiyOu. FayOrihg it, however, was a very
strong delegation from Alameda County, in
Guiding Mayor Glasc0ck and Councilman w.
W. Camron.
Strong arguments against the bill, which
was going to encourage the construction of
overhead wires, was submitted, by San
Francisco officials, and for while the bill
appeared to have gloomy prospect.
Suddenly Robinson, who at first had
fought the bill, Topped over to its support,
and then it leaked out from a remark
dropped by one of the Alameda delegation
that big sacks were being pulled Oh both
sides.
An investigation was precipitated forth
with, during which it developed that one
Joyce, a lobbyist from this city, approached
CdlntOn OI Odklanu. representing LIlaI De
knew Of combine of thirty in the Assem-
bly, that could be pulled over in favor Of the
bill if the right kind Of influence we're used.
This caused GlascOck to exclaim in disgust
that the Assembly would not pass the
Lords prayer without being paid for it,
In all essential respects the investigation
was farce. 1t had the effect simply of
barring Joyce from the legislative halls.
1t tnrther DEVELOPED that w. e. Dar-
gle, the proprietor Of the Oakland Tribune
and Senator from Alameda, was an active
spirit IN this particular balch of legislation,
and knew pretty much all about how it was
handled. The Grand Jury, it is understood,
desire to have him tell what he knows. and
IL is reported, either have summoned or
soon intend tO summon him.

Captain Thompson Organizing the vari-
Counties.
Chaplain Thomas II. Thompson, Secre-
tary of the California Worlds Fair Commls-
sion, is busy in perfecting his plans for the
organization of the various counties through
out the State. The regular monthly meet
ing of the commission, which takes place
on the 18Th inst, will probably be an i'm
pOrtant one. as at that time 1t is expected
that the Supreme Court will have decided to
release the, $4,000 appropriated by the
Legislature.
I'VE have a great deal Of work laid out"
said Captain Thompson yesterday, "but
until the Supreme Court acts we are help
less to proceed. Should they decide against
us, it is my opinion that this commission
would have the power to call meeting of
the representative men of the State to de-
wise means for making an exhibit at Chicago
and could go ahead. Unless it were done
the State would be placed in q most absurd
position after all that has been said aud
done"

ner of the execution of each man, the re-
port concludes: There was absolutely

death supervencs as speedily as possible, it
is necessary to continue a current of the
voltage employed in these cases fifty and
sixty seconds"

fast on the mud in Petaluma Greek, but
would float off TODAY

An application was made to Judge Muir
ply yesterday morning to have DR.. Halls
bond reduced. DR.. Hall was recently tried
on the charge of having been the cause by
malpractice of Ida Shaddock's death. The
jury disagreed, and he is therefore still in
custody. Polire Judge Morley originally
fixed the bond at $4,000, but the Supreme
Court reduced it to S25, 900. 1t is still so
very large that the prisoner could not fur
nish sureties. and. on the strength of the
doubt established by his trial. he asked for
another reduction. Judge Murphy granted
the application and fixed the bond at Sl0 000.
1t is still somewhat unwieldy, and the doc
tor thus far remains in j4il.

the spot cash value for foreign gold as soon
as received, instead of requiring them to
wait while the deposits are being melted
and the exact gold determined.
