In Washington Mr. Scott occupied the
middle house Of tho three erected by Gov
ernor Shepherd. Mr.. Scott gave some Of
the best dinners in Washington. Some
times he superintended the preparation of
a dinner himself, and he was counted one
Of the best amateur cooks among the pub
lie men in Washington. Mr.. Scott was a
man of few wo-ds, but Of quick action. AS
business maa he drove a close bargain

Though Mr. Scott was an Episcopalian,
the charitable organizations OF Erie OF all

him for considerable sums Of money. Mr..

GUILTY AS CHARGED"


A Second Charge of Burglary Proven
Against Schmidt.
The attorneys in charge of Charles
Schmidt's second trial for burglary finished
impanelpg the jury yesterday morning, and
it was composed of the following-named
persons: Peter Mable, Peter Creegan, V.
r. Jennings, John b. TIass Jr, K. b. Hoch-
stader, James B. Steele, NJ. Heffernan. A
Wirtner, Noel Rhodes J. A. Lane, S. Will
heimer and j. F. Bullwinkle.
The peoples strongest witness was De-
Iectiye Robert Hogan, who said that Schmidt
confessed the crime and told him where the
stolen tools were. He found them as indi-
Gated.
The only evidence of the trial that made
it specially interesting was the appearance
of murderer Bell as witness in Schmidts
behalf. Bell said that Campbell told him
shortly after they had all been captured Of
some tools that had been stolen, and CAMP
bell said he had induced Schmidt to confess
the theft. although in fact he (CampbelD
had stolen them himself.
Campbell told the witness that he was
married man with a wife and child,
and that he wanted to keep out of
trouble. He had persuaded Schmidt to say
that he had stolen the tools, and had prom
Used as a reward to have him released from
Jail on straw bonds, so that he might sud-
denly disappear.
You and Schmidt are good friends now,
are you not?" asked Assistant District At
torney Hinkle.
well, yes" said Bell, 1--WE are living in
the same house" County Jail)
sort OF pulling in the same cleat?"
asked Hinkle.
I'm only telling the truth"
do you think Schmidt is ?"
Yes, sir, believe he is sincere"
Now, or when he testified against you pr
81 guess lie is sincere"
"You have been convicted of felony, have
you not?"
"Well, yes. seems to me ] have"
Bell remained in Judge Troutt's cage all
day-the same cage, by the way, that Mrs,
Clara F0ltz denounced with such bitter en-
phasis rs "barbarous and inhuman."
Detective Hogan testified that Schmidt
told him that Bell was with him when he
stole the tools, and that all his crimes and
misfortunes were brought about by his ac-
Quaintanee with Bell.
Srhmidts testimony In his own bebaIf
was tame and lame to the last degree. He
declared that Campbell stole tie tools. and
he received them by express in San Jose
and told them. just what he did with the
money he couldn't remember, but ne was of
the impression that he gave it to Campbell.
He could not remember that when he made
his confession to Detective Hogan he re-
viewed a long list Of robberles In the pos
session of the latter and designated which
of them he, with Bell or Campbell, was
implicated in.
The jury evidently placed no confidence
at all in anything the man said "a if hsd
hardly retired when it sent back word that
it had agreed on verdict, and when it was
announced In court 1t was guilty as
charged"

Europe, where the rain falls pretty steadily
every month in the year, the umbrella is a
fixed institution, and most middle-aged men
will painfully recall the extra dreadful and
prolonged curtain lecture which befell Mr.
Caudle after he mad loaned the family UNI
brella to friend. who had naturally failed
to return II.
When March Is over the umbrella some
how disappears in San Francisco house
holds, like the pins. the boarding house
hash. the surplus of corporations and a host
of other mysterious things. But the public
necessity is the umbrella mans opportunity
and hence 1t is that in few hours after the
first downp0ur OF the rainy season the um-
brella fiend stalks abroad, armed with a
weapon which he has purchased on the
street for anything from -four bits" TO
81 So or at fashionable store for four OF
five dollars, according to his ideas and his
financial ability.
The umbrella fiend Is known everywhere.
He never loses chance Of pOking 1t into a
iellow-trayeler's eye or neck as he pushes
his way into crowded strest-car. At a
concert or dramatic entertainment he bangs
it on the floor to testify to his approval Of
popular passages. When he has the dome
of the instrument fully expended he glee-
fully sails along tbs street pOking the pOin Is
into the jaws. eyes, neck and ribs of APP
preaching pedestrians whom he is I'M
able to see. To young mothers with babies
in arms he is holy terror.
The umbrella iend's reign may be said to
commence from to-day. Even when it is
not raining he can get in some fancy work
by rolling up the instrument under his arm,
standing in a crowded store or doorway and
backing suddenly till the point strikes some
body's eye. Thus viewed, even the rainy
season has Its consultations, at least for the
umbrella fiend.
Up to o'clock last night 03 of an inch OF
rain had fallen In this city. Reports from
other points were as follows: Olympia AS,
Spokane .01, Walla Walla .O2, Fort Candy
90, Portland 80. Rnseburg .2S, Eureka 20,

police of that city. who are charged with
trumping up the charge against Bell to
shield guilty party and cover up local
scandal, and yesterday Chief OF Police
Crowley tele graphsd Chief Murphy to know
the reputation Of Brown. Murphy, who has
no eal thly use for Brown, answered that he
knew no good IF Detective Brown but did
know he was at one time connected with a
skin agency.
This answer does Mr.. Brown great in
justice, as it conveys the impression Mr..
Murphy does know something to the dis
credit of Mr.. Brown, while the truth is the
latter is an honest, conscientious citizen,
whose character has always been beyond re-
proach. He is United Brethren minister
whose integrity has never been questioned,
and the San Francisco police may rest assured
whatever is done by Mr.. Brown will be
done in an honest, conscientious aud fear
less manner. Nothing has been heard from
Mr.. Brown. but the suppostiOn here is he
unearthed facts which place the San fran
cisco police in very unenyiable light, and
they are now seeking to clear themselves by
assaillng Mr.. Browns character. When
they teIegraphed Chief Murphy they re-
ceived an answer from Mr. Browns enemy
yet he could say nothing.

SEVERE JUDGMENT.
State University Students Dismissed b
the Faculty.

State University Stud ents Dismissed by
the Faculty.
There appears to be a small amount OF
unpleasantness existing between the fac
ulty of the State University aud some OF the
students, arising from the pranks of the
latter some nights since, and which have
been published by some journals in exag-
gerated detail.
The result Of the affair was given out yes
terday afternoon in an announcement to the
effect that two Of the offenders had been
expelled, one dismissed, two suspended or
rusticated, and two more cases were still
under consideration.
The action of the faculty has excited a
large amount OF comment and it is not Of a
complimentary nature, as many of those
who are cOnversarJ with all the details of
the affair say they consider the judgment to
he harsher than was warranted by the Of
tense committed.
The offenders feel deeply the disgrace
under which they are now placed and wore
very long faces yesterday afternoon. Many
expressions of sympathy vera uttered by
their friends, but they failed to cheer up
the spirits of the students.
At late hour, however, it was n0ised
about that the faculty were considering the
case with view of tempering its decision.

Those who pronounced it merely a little
drizzle or fog changed their minds after
riding a mile or two on the dummy of a

spInITEp AWAY THE MASCOT.

The '94's had brought mascot with
them for the occasion in the shape of a
small dog, but the '95's did not purpose
allowing themselves to be ''hOodooed" in
any such manner. and, ere the '9i's were
aware of it, the willy '9j's had spirited
the mascot away. The '94's of course
claimed that their inability to secure a goal
was due to this trickery.
The afternoon was not all that could be
desired, as old Sol persistently refused to
show his smiling cOuntenance. and the dull
damp, gray fog from the mountain tops
slowly descended into the valley, making
everything appear chill and dresr. In ad-
dltion to this the grounds, which are entire
ly guIltless of heritage. were rendered rather
slippery and muddy by the morning
driZZle.
The fair sex were present in large num-
bers looking Intensely cute underneath the
shadow cast by their mortar-board or

the masculine spectators, being apparently
