SWING RELEASED.
The Case Against Him Dismissed
by Judge Smith.
A Might Scene In the Circuit Court
The Testimony Adduced and the
Ruling OF the C0urt.

The SWING Emmous habeas corpus
proceedings came up in the circuit court
last evening, tue state being represented
By States Attorney Sturgeon and John
Looney. and the defense by E. E Par,
menter and William McEniry. A large
| number of witnesses were present, and
after some preliminary diminishing on
| the part of the attorneys. the case was
| taken up and the first witness called was
Fred Emmons the prosecuting witness.
The attorneys for the defense objected TO
his testifying, on the grounds tn 1T he was
not competent witness to testify in q
case tending to criminate his wife, and
the court sustained the objections. The
next witness, Edward Herman, was put
upon the stand. He testified to being
acquainted with Frederick Emmous and
to his haying boarded where witness was
employed. He remembered that EN-
mons had left the city last August and
went to Denver. and that while he was
away one night he saw the call boy look
ing for Conductor swing, and shortly
after, while out in front of the restaurant.
he heard gate close which he thought
was the one at Emmons' home, and a few
moments later saw Swing coming down
the street. He could not say positively
that it was the gate at Emmons' home,
but that it was in that vicinity. Not be.
ing able to tell anything else relative to
the case he was told to stand aside.
The next witness called was Night
Caller DAILY. Of the c.. R. I. s. P. round
house. who testified to having looked for
Conductor Swing on the night referred to
by the preceding witness. and after look
ing for him at his boarding place and
about the depot without success. he
finally found him in his caboose about IL
o'clock.
Mrs: Sarah Flynn. of Flsnn's lunch
counter. was then questioned concerning
her knowledge of the case.
do you know Mr.. Swing. the defend.
ant. inquired Mr.. Losney.
Eyes SIR
did you ever see Mrs E nmons and
the defendant togetherS"
mo SIR"
Let me refresh your memory. Did
you ever see Mrs Enmons board a street
car and later see the defendant get on the
same car"
mo sir"
did you ever tell any one that you had
seen them together"
mo SIR"
Here the court interrupted the exami-
nation and told the prosecution that it
wasiuseless to 60 on with an examination
of that kind, whereupon States Attor-
ney Sturgeon confessed the writ and the
court ordered the prisoner dismissed.
There was a large audience present in
hopes of hearing some sensational dis
closures. but they were doomed to dissp
pointment. The $4,000 damage suit
for alienation of affections comes up at
January term of the circuit.
The formal order releasing the pris,
oner was signed by Judge smith this
morning and placed in the han DIS of
Swings counsel, Messrs. McEuery and
Parmenter.

CITIZENS OF CHILE FORCED INTO
r. BALMACEDA'S RANKS.
The Towns and Farms Stripped of Men
Impressed Into Service or Hiding in
the Mount aims Desertion of the Die
tator's Most Favored Regiment.

SAN FRANCISCO, August IA CORE
spondent writing from the city of San
tiago, Chile, under date of June 31st,
says Balmaceda has issued $4,000, 900
of 50-cent paper money, and that it is
compulsory on all to receive it. The
regiment so highly extolled by the gov
ernment which retreated from Taracapa
through the Argentine Republic and
thence across the Andes arrived 200
strong at Santiago, where they received
their pay and we're granted five days
leave of absence. since which they have
failed to put in an appearance. Balma-
ceda has issued proclamation for the
increase of the army to $4,000 men. The
correspondent says: Throughout all the
departments in the hands of Balmaceda
soldiers in squads are picking up
volunteers" which means every man
got hold of is forced into the ranks. 1t
is believed this is a bad policy, for these
volunteers" do not wish to fight their
own countrymen, and most Of them
sympathize with the opposition. If one
can judge by the past, when the time
comes for battle many of them will
change sides. These volunteers" often
times are sleeping in their beds, and
are serenely awakened by poundings at
the door with threats that if they do
not open it an entrance will be
forced. If the man thus forcibly
seized is hurried out of his
clothes, in spite Of the expostulations OF
his family, and is marched off to jail
and shipped by the first opportunity,
in guard of soldiers. Many OF the towns
and farms are stripped of men, and the
hills are filled with men hiding away
from their nI1rsIlers

CHINA AND TIE POWERS.
A SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS IN
THE FLOWERY KINGDOM.
The American, British, French and Ger
man Squadrons Threaten a Joint
Naval Demonstration Unless Redress
is Made for Outrages on Foreigners.

SHANGHAI, August 17.-There is no
use Disgusting the fact that a most
serious state OF affairs exists in this
country over the agitation against for
eigners and others, and the combined
fleets of the powers may be called upon
at any moment to take effective action
looking to redress for outrages by the
Chinese government. Atpresenta state
of great excitement prevails, at an in
creasing tension, between the Chinese
government and the ministers of for
eign powers. From all appearances the
former are obstinate in the refusal of
redress for injury done foreigners during
the recent riots. II the Chinese authori-
ties do not yield to the firm
demands of the ministers of the
powers, concerted hostile action upon
the part of the vessels OF the various
nations represented in these waters is
imminent. Such is the state of affairs,
it is now known, that the foreign min
listers will be compelled to inform the
Chinese government that a joint naval
demonstration of an effective nature, in
which the French, American, British
and German squadrons will take palt,
will be ordered in the near future, unless
speedy reparation is made for the in
juries, outrages and abuses complained
of by the ministers of the powers.

PASADENA RATES.

Tho Railroad Commission at Last De-
..s cides the Matter.
SAN Francisco, August IA meet
ing of the railroad commissioners was
held today. The only business tran
sacted was in reference to the Los An
geles and Pasadena communication rates.
When the matter came up before the
board several months ago it was decided
to suggest to the city authorities of Pas
adena that steps should be taken toward
advancing single trip rates, in or
der to induce the Los Angeles
Terminal company and Southern
California Railroad company to
reduce their monthly communication rate
from 81. so to So. The matter came be-
fore the board today in the shape of
communication from T. B. Burnett, of
the Terminal company, and K. H. Wade,
of the California Southern, asking per-
mission to change the rate on the single
trip between Pasadena and Los An
geles from 20 cents to 25 cents, and the
rate on round trip tickets, good for two
days, to 30 cents, instead of the price
charged at present. They also asked
to be permitted to raise the
rates between intermediate points in
proportion. Accompanying the petition
was q resolution adopted by the board
of trustees Of Pasadena, asking the rail
road commission to grant the petition
provided the companies issue and keep
ready for sale monthly sixty. ride com
mutation tickets between Pasadena and
Los Angeles. The price of said tickets
not to exceed the sum of $5. The COM
miesioners decided to grant the petition
and telegraphed the managers to that
effect

body of water came down Mill creek and

Redlands motor road in several places,
and doing some damage on the Barton
tract. 1t is now generally believed that
these continued storms and the sultry
weather which has lasted ever since
July 1st, with one short interval, are
the result of the flooding of the Colo
RADIO desert. If this continues perm
nently, it will result in more water in
the mountains for irrigation purposes,

BERNE, August 17.-Yesterday another
wholesale loss of life by railroad acci
dent occurred on the Jura-Simplon rail-
road line near the village OF Zollokofen,
not far from this city,. A special train
carrying large number of excursionists
from the country districts to this city,
on the way here run into the Paris ex-
press while side-tracked to allow the lat
ter to pass. The accident resulted in
the guards van at the rear OF the excur-
sion train and passenger car being de-
molished and large number of
passengers being killed. The ex-
act number of dead and wounded
is not known, but twelve
corpses have already been recovered
from the ruins, and it is known that
many persons have been seriously in
jured by the collision. No loss of life is
reported among the passengers on the
Paris express. A wrecking train, carry
ing doctors and nurses, together with a
detachment of engineers, was dispatch
ed to the scene. and crowds of people
started in the same direction. The
majority of the passengers aboard the
excursion train belong to town in the
vicinity OF this city. 1t is thought no
American travellers were among the
killed. The accident is thought to
have been the result OF carelessness on
the part of the road officials.
Further details from Zollokofen show
that thirteen people were killed, and
that eighteen were seriously injured,
and thirty others slightly.

Governor Pattison Tells What He
Knows About His Methods.

Governor Pattison Tells What He
Knows About His Methods.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, August IL 7.-Before
the councils investigating committee
today, Governor Pattison told what he
knew about Bardsley when he patti
SOM was president of the Chestnut
street bank. 1t was very little. The
city opened an account with the bank;
no interest was paid Bardsley. The
first intimation they had that the
sum of money deposited was
state money, was when the bank
was called upon to file 100000 bond.
In 1889, Bardsley took out certificates OF
deposits, and it was upon these that
interest was paid. The first intimation
that Pattison had that the bank was
paying Bardsley interest, was when the
cashier came to him and said Bardsley
wanted per cent. on his money. The
bank could not afford to pay this, and
the account was withdrawn.
The examination of experts was then
continued. Their testimony showed
that Bardsley, in addition toshis various
illegal sources OF profit, appears to have
had the use of $654, 900 for two months.
1t belonged to the sinking fund, being
the proceeds of the sales of loans to pay
the city's debt. Bardsley, instead of at
once paying the money into the treas
ury, loaned it out at interest for the
period mentioned.

THE HARVEST is GREAT,
But the LabOrers Are Few in the North
western Wheat Belt.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. August 17.--Har-
vesting is well under way all over the
northwest, and the promise for big
yield will be more than fulfilled. Wheat
averages from twenty-five to thirty BUSH
els to the acre, and the increased yield
from the increased acreage makes 150,-
100000 bushels the minimum product
for the Dakotas and Minnesota. Other
grains are close to wheat, oats especially
is turning out we'll. Great trouble is
experienced in procuring labor to handle
the immense crop, and the railroads are
hard at work preparing to handle the
grain. Lack of storage facilities will
compel great majority OF the farmers
to dispose of their grain coon, and the
transportation facilities will be taxed to
their utmost. The weather for harvest
ing is all that could be desired.
