DAMA's THOUSANDS.
Evidence Adduced to Prove They Were
Left to Mrs, Smith.

Evidence Adduced to Prove They Were
Left to Mrs. Smith.
Stenographer Thomas L. Knox yester-
day gave the Probate Court some further
information about the habits and death of
Luigi Dana DIR. Kowalsky, who repre-
sents the contestants Of Dama's will. who
are the deceased musicians wife's relatives
who were ignored, asked Knox how he
learned of Dama'S death.
He replied that he was first told of it by
Rev. Mr.. Worcester. The "magnesia con-
versatiOn" took place at the professors
house. The conversation came about IN
talking of Ddma'A theory that by Develop
ing the lungs and keeping all the pores OF
the body open one could live to great age,
and it was remarked that Dana did not live
to great age. The cause Of his death was
then discussed, and reference was made TO
his excessive use of magnesia. Miss Harris
did not say he was magnesla hend, but
said that he had that habit. With rega ri 10
the will, Knox continued, Miss Harris said
there was or had been another VIII IN the
possession of the Warehouses, which had
been made in their favor While Dana was
in their house, aid she said that she knew
that the professor entertained a strong pre-
judice against Mr.. Waterhouse and his
family and his brother, and that therefore
there must be another and later will.
isKnox said he was surprised when he
learned the contents of the will. He thought
something should have been left to William
L Cummins, and as Dana had no relatives
here and did not like his wife's relatives he
thought he might have remembered his
friends here, among others witness and his
daughter.
Knox identified the will made in favor of
Mrs. Smith as in Dama's handwriting Mrs.
Smith, it will be remembered, was the pu-
pill of the professor whose voice he was un-
able to develop, and in his Will lie bequathed
her about S50,OC0 to continue the cultivation
OF her voice according to his system.

LA CHAPELLE'S DEATH.
His Slayer Has the Sympathy OF
NeighbOrs.

"She was more siDned against than sim
Ming" said John Dougherty, at the Morgue,
yesterday afternoon, while speaking OF the
killing of William de Rose, better known as
La Chapelle, the salo0n-keeper at Post street
and Central avenue, by Maggie Getty, the
woman with whom he had been living Tor
two years.
''She is delicate GIRL" he continued,
'and only 10 years old. He was very brutal
in his treatment of her, and frequently
knocked her down. She often went to the
houses of neighbors for protection. and re-
manned with them several days at tune.
Maggie was street Arab, her mother nav
ing died from drink when she was quite
young. Her two sisters are fallen women,
but since she went to live with La Cnapeile
she worked hard aud took good care OF mis-
place while he was off on sprees. those
who live in the neighborhood feel very sorry
for her. and are talking about taking up a
subscription in order to secure lawyer 10
defend her."
DIR. Williams held an autopsy on the re-
mains, and found that death was caused by
gunshot wounds of the heart and abdomen.
The slayer was arragned in Police Court
on a charge of murder, but by request her
examination was continued for one week.
Her statement that La Chapele fired
shot at her before she killed him has been
disproved absolutely. She discharged two
bullets into his body, and the pistol found
in the room where the killing occurred has
only two chambers empty. The inquest Will
be held to-day.

Ing the Southern Pacific West Side Branch
from Los Banos, in MERGED County, fifty
eight miles south of Tracy, to Armona,
Tulare County, on the Goshen Division,
sixteen miles west of the Southern Pacific
main line. The projected extension is about
125 miles long. A good part of the route is
through a country that, with water, will
become very fertile. A long strip of road
is in the rich Lucerne District, once known
as Mussel Slough. Construction work in
the swamp land just above Tulare Lake is
very difficult. 1t is expected that the eX-
tension will be completed and turned over
to the Operating Department early in the
autumn. A town site at Santa Rita, twelve
miles south of Los Ban0s, is being laid out

temporary junction until affairs are ar
ranged at Ammonia SO that the trains can be
handled readily without delay. 1t Is said
eight side-trackS have been ordered laid at
Ammonia.
a peculiar accident recently happened on
the line of the Southern Pacific near MERGED.

available for further use, and it will be
necessary to replace them at once.
1t is reported that at a recent conference
of the trunk lines an agreement was reached
looking to the resumption of payment Of
commissions, on the ground that the Board
of Rulings has failed to carry out its policy;
also that the Union Pacific, which ordered
the payment of commissions to cease on
February 1st, has counteTmanded that order.
The Southern Pacific is about TO open up
a new stage and steamer line from Calistoga
to Bartlett Springs The distance by the
new route will be about siXty-three miles,
to Lakeport via Middleton, and thence to
the springs via Bartlett Springs Landing

ton.

for you before lie disappeared ?" was asked
There were no bills. What | alluded to
