/ Few people, even in Dawson. know
anything about the extensive improve
mcnts which have recently been made in
the machinery at the Dawson Variety
manufacturing Company's works.
! ON Monday reporter for the News
took walk through the works and was
aStonished at their immensely.
In the iron machine shops we found
MI. II. Z. Wardwcll, a skilled and cy.
| perenced maehinist, in charge. He has
recently made wonderful improvements
| IN the machinery of this department
| Ihc old machines have been Thoroughly
overhauIed and repaired and two new
and modern machines have been nut in
at a cost of nearly 81, 200. Besides a
fan has been added fol running the force
at the blacksmith shop.
with these recent improvements the
IRON department now possesses unsu-
passed facilities for doing all work in re-
pairing and manufacturing that may be
desired with skin and promptuess. Those
who desire repairs will no longer be wor-
red by tedious delays. Under the direc-
ton OF MI. Wardwell everything moves
in this department with the regularity of
ciock-work The company is certainly
fortunate in having such a man at the
head of tins branch of the works and the
public alike receive a benefit from his !
skill and experience.
Under the guidance of Prof. Adams the !
reporter was also shown through the inn |

saving,as the company does not have to

In fact, the Variety Works are being
kept abreast of the times, and in all its
departments it is prepared to do the very
best work on short notice. Mt. Wardweil
IS justly proud of what has been accom-

Willis and Brooks wctc confined in op-

He split the box at his door into small

At the time of the fire Mrs. Tedder

VENTURA COUNTY.
1t Is Held to BE Yet in the Glass
Numbered Al.

The classification of Ventura County was
established in an opinion of the Supreme
Court delivered yesterday in the matter of
the petition of j. a. Donlon, the Assessor
of the county, vino claimed that Ventura is
in class thirty-nine and half, and that his
annual salary is therefore 5000. The
County Auditor contended that Ventura
was in the forty-frst class in which the
Assessors salary Is less than 5000. and
when the Assessor tried to draw his salary
lie declined to issue his warrant for the
larger amount
The question involved in the case was the
construction OF certain sections OF the
county government act, in which the coun-
ties are classified according to their popula-
ton in 1880. The coun ties of the State were
then divided into fOrty-eight classes, Ven
Iura falling under the forty-tirst class. The
act was subsequently amended for the pur-
pose of creating class thirty-nine and half,
which was defined IN terms precisely SINH
lar to those defining classes forty and forty
one. neither of which was abolished.
The enterprlsing Assessor perceived at
once an opportunity for increasing his as
sets by claiming the salary due as an As
SCISSOR for class 39a and he set up the claim
that the Legislature manifestly intended to
abolish classes 40 and IL The court, how
ever, decided that if 1t had been the pur-
pose of the Legislature to abolish classes 40
and Al, it would not have made use of q
half number.
The court further held that the LegiSla-
ture had Numbered in giving a like number
classes, but ruled that Ventura is still in the
forty-iirst class, and that the intelligent As
SCISSOR would be Obliged to content himself
with the salary established.

DIR. CHARLES R0WELL.
He Is Not Insane, as 1t Was Reported


He Is Not Insane, 1t Was Reported by
the Police.
The friends of DR.. Charles R0well were
very much astonished yesterday at the an
nouncement made that the doctor had be-
come insane.
Mrs. Lamb, sister in-law Of the doctor, in
conversation with representative Of The
CALL yesterday, said: THE doctor is not
insane. and if the officer who found him in
the street had used little discretion the
doctor would have been returned to his
home. and the absurd story would not have
been circulated. Some time ago the doctor
ran large splinter into one of his fore
fiugers, and he, as he supposed, removed the
whole of it; but it appears he did not, and a
result that followed was blood poisoning
He was treated by Drs. Martineau and
Ayers, and it was suggested that he be sent
to one of the hospitals; but to this he OBJ
jected, and insisted in remaining at home,
and expressed a wish to have me take care
of him. Recently DR.. Cleveland treated
hial, and he was getting along all right, eX-
cept that occasionally lie became deliriouS
for a few moments at time, like many per-
sons who have had severe attack of Illness :;
but temporary delirium and insanity are TWO
different things. The night he had left the
house | had gone into the kitchen to prepare
something for him. and when ! came back
discovered that he had partially dressed
himself and left, and subsequently learned
that he had been taken in charge by an Off
Ger. On Tuesday afternoon, III company
with his family, he went to Santa Cara,
where change OF air Will undoubtedly do

DEATH IN TIE SHAT 7.
Fatal Fall Of Kate Flint From a
Freight Elevator.

Kate Flint, aged 10, employed at Edwin
W. Joy IL Co.'S chemical laboratory at 80
Market street, fell down an elevator shaft
in the building yesterday morning about
S 80 O'clock and sustained injuries which re-
suited in her death about two hours later.
Miss Flint lived at 71OR Post street and
left home for her work about s o'clock,
going directly to the store. She entered the
freight elevator to ascend to the third story.
where the department of the work she was
engaged in is situated. She had just started
the elevator and had nearly reached the
second floor when she bent over the edge of
the platform to see whether one of her
friends was in sight, in doing which she
struck her head against the elevator-gate on
the second floor.
She was dashed off the platform down to
the bottom of the shaft, falling with great
force on the asphaltum flooring. The noise
of the fall speedily attracted the attention
OF the other employees, and when the un-
fortunate girl was reached she was found
lying uncOn seiouS, with her skull tearfully
crushed and blood flowing from her ears and
mouth. Medical assistance was at once
called in and the girl removed to her home,
where she recovered consciousness for few
moments, but died at 10 30 o'clock.
The unfortunate girl was born ii Sacra-
mento and had a wild owed mother and two
sisters. one was very goOu-IOOklHS ana OF
most amiable disposition. Although she
had only been in the employ of the firm for
one month, she was highly esteemed for her
faithful performance Of her duty. The body
was removed to the Morgue. where an in
quest will be held to-day.
The Secretary Of the company said that
Miss Flint was alone on the elevator and
had tried to run it herself. 1t was against
the rules for any emplOye unfamiliar with
working the elevator to try to do so. Until
day or two ago the girls had not been al
lowed to ride on the elevator, and since then
only when some one who knew how 10 run
il was in charge
