THE TOHICAN ACCIDENT.
Proceedings in the Court-Martiai of
Captain Johnson.

VALLEJO, Dec. 16-Lieutenaut Tyler
was on the stand to-day in the Johnson
c0url-martaL He testified that he had
been watch officer on the Mohiean since
December II, 1891. He had the watch ON
the morning of June s. On that occasion
he received orders to keep a sharp lookout
for land. and TO report to Lieutenant
Strong When land was sighted he sent
the quartermaster 10 report TO Lieutenant
Strong aud confer about the location.
when Lieutenant Strong came on deck"
said Tyler, "we were much nearer land.
Changes were plade in the helm and sail.
and we made preparations for other
changes"
Tyler's testimony went to show that all
precautions had been taken while he was
on watch.
Lieutenant Fechter deck officer when the
Mohican struck, testified TO the manner of
striking and the position of the ship. He
also said that the commander did not ap-
pear on deck when notified that land was
in sight. for the reason that he had implicit
confidence in the navigator.
The testimony so far taken goes to show
that there was some friction among the Of
ficers at the time OF the accident. and also
that the Mohicau was ineficiently manned.
The court adjourned till 10 o'clock on
Saturday.

FUN FOR THE CROWD.
A Condemned Criminal Begging Hard
for His Life.

PARIS. Dec. 16.-Eugene Champion was
guiilotined this morning for the murder OF
two men who were pursuing him as he was
running away from wineshop which he
had just plundered.
The execution was one of the most horri-
BILE witnessed in Paris in many years. The
culprit, as soon as his eyes caught sight of
the guillotine, which was as the procession
emerged from the prison. fell to fhe ground
in abject terror and grovelled on the flag
stones, begging piteously for respite.
He became SO absolutely limp that the
executioner's assistants had to take him up
and carry him TO his place of execution. He
continued to struggle and shrek while they
bound him TO the plank and placed his head
beneath the knife, and be only ceased when
the head rolled into basket.
1t was a rare treat to the rbald crowd
who saw it. They were made up of the
criminal elements of Paris, men and
women, and at the end dispersed bandying
coarse jeSts.

RAW, RED BEEF.
The Girls Ate 1t and Said

FROM THE SCHOOL TO HOME.
How Nellie and Josie O'ROurke of
Perry Street Are Getting Along
With Cooking and Sewing.

Did you ever eat raw meat-beef as red
and raw as when it lay on the butchers
block?
Probably not. and probably you turn up
your nose and think of nice juicy, medium
rare roast, with brown gravy near it. Ii
you have tried the rich red food did there
come the joyful surprise of new found
pleasure. like that of the discovery of roast
pig as told by Charles Lamb?
Well. day or two ago L saw a teacher In
the public schools feeding lot of girls on
raw beef in the schoolroom aud showing
them how to eat it. They were not taught
TO fercely rend ii with their pearly teeth
like the children of the cave-dwellers did.
1t was done so dainlily that even some
visitors wanted TO try il, and when it was
all gone everybody said. Wasn't it fine?"
Ali this will not seem so strange when /
tell that it happened in the cooking depart
ment of the Franklin Grammar School,

reached London all the talk was of the
coming opening of the Crystal Palace.
The royalties were 10 be there in great

ties. Only those were admitted who held
season tickets, and the season tickets cost
something like SEQ. Ii seemed a big rrice
to pay for single sight OF even so unusual
a show, but the Scotehman was determined
that his wife should not lose the chance-it
might never come again. So he bought her
ticket and sent her on opening day 10 the
Crystal Palace with some English friends.
Great was the crowd, and the young
American woman was person of unlucky
shoriness OF stature. TiptOe her best, she
could not see thing over the mass of heads
all turned in one direction. The procession
of royalties swept in, but it was not for her.
Bitter tears OF disappointment filled her

she was 10 be completely baked.
A big Engllshman stood near her with
the kindliest 81 eyes. He saw 1t all at a

said, and with his strong hands he encircled
her waist and lifted her up above the heads
OF everybody as easily as IL she had been

his arms not seeming to know tired feel

ties and celebrities alike. When he at last
put her down she had had a much better
view than tbree-fourths Of the tall people
who were present. In reply to her thanks
he simply said:
1T Is always special pleasure to do
favor for an American"
She was sure he was himself tlnguished,
but the friends who were with her did not
know him. She described him to all the
English people whom she met, but could
get no clew to his identity. So she came
back to America ignorant who the kind
hearted Englisbman was.

RESOLVED, That this grange demands The recall

ference, now in session AT Brussels.
RESOLVED, That we favor gold, silver and paper
as money; that The National Government alone
shall issue the money Of the people; that the
unit, whetn OF gold, silver or paper, should be

the faith of the Government, good enough for
the people and good enough for the money
lender.
Resolutions were also adopted In favor of
the free coinage of silver and the passage of
the anti-optIon bill.
