THE CALIFORNIA LOBBY.
Taylor Details the Plane and Objects Of the
Combine.

Taylor Details the Plane and Objects Of the
Combine.
SAX FRAycrsco, July 23.-The trial Of the
suit of Geo. W. Taylor against twenty-four
state senator's, members of the late California
legislature, to recover $4,000, alleged to be due
him from the defendants collectively for SER
vices as lobbyist, was continued yes
terday. Taylor in testifying said that after
the combine had been formed by certain MEM
bers OF the state senate to obtain money from
corporations, Senators WEIGH, Broderick and
Maher were appointed as finance committee.
Burns was to act as financial agent of the COM
bine. but in subsequent quarrel refused to act
with them, and Richard Chute was appointed to
collect money from corporations for the COM
bine to prevent adverse legislation.
Taylor then related a number Of alleged con-
versations with Senator Williams which took
place after the adjournment Of the legislature
and said Williams told him he had received
money from Chute and Burns for himself and
other senator's for their action on certain
measures in sums ranging from $500 to 81 600
Witness saw Burns, who admitted the combine
owed witness for his services and that Sc, 900
was fair compensation. Burns gave him ESQ
and the twenty-four members Of the combine
were to give him s250 each, but failed to do 30.
Col. Croker, vice president Of the Southern
Pacific Company, was called as a witness, and
in response to questions testified that he had
never been approached by the agent Of the
combine with reference to the payment Of
money, and to his knowledge no money what
ever had been paid.

THE ELLIOTT MURDER TRIAL.
Charge Of the Judge Given the Jury, WI
Retire.

Charge Of the Judge Given the Jury, Who
Retire.
COLUMBUS, ONO, July 23.-At 1880 this
morning Prosecutor Huling closed his argu-
ment for the state in the Elliott murder trial
and Judge PugA delivered his charge. 1t is
considered very damaging to the prisoner.
The charge was very long and the court occu-
pied in reading it nearly an hour. At the
courts instruction the jury then retired
elected a foreman and then came out for dinner,
with orders to report at o clock.
One principal point in the charge is the in
struction of tho cour. that though evidence
showed that Osborn fired first, if it showed
that at the time Of killing he had given up the
fight and was in full retreat, the jury must find
defendant guilty.
STARTLING SENSATION.
Another startling sensation has Just leaked
out, which only gives ground for fears that
another "Clan-na-Gael' may be figuring in
this sasss Most violent threats have been made
against Judge David Pugh and Prosecutor
Huling. The latter received postal card in a
Jack the Ripper" style, the inscription being
printed, to guard against discovery Of the
writer. 1t began by telling Mr.. Huling that he
had better '.look out and continued with the
threat that he had better be careful, or else his
life would pay the penalty of his efforts to
convict the Elliotts. Not only one, but several
such messages have been received by
the attorney. Judge Pugh, among
others, received the following two
weeks ago, but said nothing about ii at the
time. .'Davy you had better not go too far
The World article you would not admit for the
defense, but you let the state have the Capital
article. You and that skinny -- (mean-
ing the prosecutor) have had your say. Some
one else may have theirs. This may end in
murder yet"
The other threatening messages received by
Judge Pugh were of the same tenor. One Of
the postal cards was decorated with crude pic
lures Of knives. swords and pistols. This card
was signed y. Ripper"
Detectives lave the letters and are endeavor-
ing to ferret out the suthor.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 23.-Thers is abso-

miners 10 being held at Coal Creek now, the
result of which will not be known for an hour
The miners are perfectly quiet and there are
no troops nearer Coal Creek than Knox
vile, thirty-fve miles distant. The solu-
ton OF troubles for the present depends
on the result Of the meeting now being held.
The impression is that in view of the extra
session of the legislature to DO called to meet
in September the miners will acquiesce in the
decision of Gov. Buchanan to send the convicts
back to the mines until the legislature takes
action on the convict lease question.
II they do not. troops viii almost certainly
take the convicts back to Briceville tomorrow
The miners arc quiet and seemed to be ami
mated by spirit Of conservatism. which gives
strong hope OF peaceful solution of the diff
