HIS DOOM PRONOUNCED.
Governor Markham VIII not Interfere
to Save MtluIty.
LET THE LAW TAKE IT'S COURSE.
There Have Been 10 New Facts Presented Upon
Which to Base Communication Of the
Death Sentence.
LET THE LAW TAKE IT'S COURSE.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

SACRAMENTO. Aug. 19-Governor Mark
ham to-day announced that he would not
further interfere in the McNulty case. In
3 denying the petition for Communication Gov
eruor Markham says:
On The nth day Of August l reprieved
the execution of the death sentence on John
McNulty until the 26th day of August.
This was done upon the assurance that
newly discovered evidence would certainly
show Justification on McNulty's part The
aflidavits of tho parties mentioned in the
telegram. with many others, have been con-
sIdered by me. l have also carefully eX-
amned the statement made by McNulty. in
which lie gives details of the entire affair,
from the previous Saturday after
noon up to and including the time
Of the commission of tie crime. This
statement was recently prepared and
furnished to me with the af1idavits. 1t will
be remembered that upon his trial he testi-
fed that he was unconscious during all this
period and had no recollection of anything
that occurred. This statement in many par
ticUlaTs coTrobOrates the witnesses for the
prosecution who were eye witnesses TO the
homicide, and ii seems TO me that had he so
testified On the trial in all probability it
would have reduced the degree of the crime,
daylts was fully inquired into upon the trial
of McNulty, and the evidence furnished in
them is cumulative only. At the time de-
cided not to commute the sentence Of Nc
Naly l said l believed it to be
my 0u5 "a see that the will Of the people is
executed ia all cases where. IN my judg-
ment, the criminal has been duly and
legally convicted. ana where no new facts
are brought TO my attention, which, II they
had been before the jury, might have in
fuenced rs verdict In my judgment
there Is nothing presented in the evidence
now before ne which, If it had been pre-
scented to the jury, would have changed its
veTd .ct. and l again refuse TO interfere In
tue Judgemnt and sentence Of the court"
Several hours before McNulty learned
that the Governor had refused to commute
ms sentence he told a reporter that he had
abandoned all hope OF life beyond
tie limit OF the respite given him
on August Il. When the dismal
Iidings reached him he received it calmly,
and apparently cherished a hope that
something would Yet intervene to save him
from the haDgman.

THE FOG OF LONDON.
Misery Which Accompanies and Follows
Its Appearance.

Contemporary Review.
It is not necessary to describe the misery
OF a London fog to any one who has been
compelled to reside in the metropolis dur
ing few days of its prevalence. The
painful irritation to the eyes, the choking
sensation in the chest, together with the
general depression of spirits and many
other ailments, are the lesser sufferings that
few who are exposed to it escape. But 1t Is
not yet realized what an amount of serious
Illness or how many deaths one week of
London fog causes. IL may be accepted
that every ten days of this terri Die vista
tion kills $500 people, and If We calculate
nine serious cases of illness to each death
we have %, 600 people laid upon beds OF
sickness.
To a certain extent the cold that always
prevails during these dense fogs may be
credited with portion Of this sickness, but
not TO any great extent, as neither fog nor
cold in country places produces any such
change in the death rate. There can be lit
tie doubt that the extreme discomfort, as
well as the deadliDess of the London fogs,
arises from the poisonous gases with which
the damp air gets saturated, and increas-
ingly so the longer the fog lasts. The smoke
which gives the fog It's yellow appearance,
and IL is SO dirty and unpleasant, is not in
furious, being only carbon; probably, In
deed, it prevents the poisonous gases from
The fog, il is needless to say, is caused by
atmospheric conditions which keep the
lower stratum of the air compare
lively stationary and prevents smoke
from rising as it ordinarily does,
even when there is no wind to move
1t. Consequently the air in our streets
remains, to great extent, unchanged dur
ing the prevalence of thick fog, but il by
no means remains in the same state, for the
gas generated in the $500 miles of sewers is
rising through the ''grIds" and mixing with
the air, which is also being corrupted by
the emanations from the millions of men
and animals that live in the metropolis. 1t
Is difficult to realize how foul must be the
condition oil the air Lond0ners breathe after
two or three days Of fog, and the wonder is
rot that SO many die but that so few do 80.
The poisonous fog so deterioraIes the vigor
of life that. In addition to its directly iniuri-
Gus influence, it renders the system Incapa-
bic of resisting the cold. To prevent these
fogs seems impossible; the draining of
marsh land would possibly do somethin to
mitigate them; the discontinuance of the
use oil open fires, or the general use of
smokeess fuel, would make them less un-
pleasant, but they would remain as poison
Gus as ever.

A meeting Of the committee of 10 named
a few days ago TO select 90 additional names
to be added to the non-partisan convention
vas held yesterday afternoon in the office
Of Daniel Meyer. The entire subject was
Informally discussed, but no action taken.
Il is not likely now that the names will be
decided upon until Monday evening. when
the committee will meet at % O'Farrell

The work of the committee seems TO be
progressing most favOrably, and there is
eyery reason to believe now that the move
nent will assume large proportions. This
is evIdenced by the fact that at yesterdays
meeting 1t was announced that the names
OF more than 80 prominent citizens had
ben sent in. Ill we're anxious to join In

OF the committee the work is not to find 80

tht names sent in are those of men of the
vry best standing In the community, and
tl0se who have gone over them say that

Men Saved by the Bravery OF an Old
Sailor.
Peter Degerotte, an aged employee of the
Union Iron Works in the Potrero, PER
formed gallant deed yesterday morning
by saving the lives of a number OF young
men who had been capsized In a sailboat on
the bay. Degerotte and number of other
employees of the works were on the small
tug that brings the men TO and from the
drydock at Hunters Point, when a small
sloop-rigged sailboat passed Just astern.
There were seven men In the frail craft.
and when the waves created by the tugs
propeller struck II, aided by a stiff breeze
from the shore, the boat capsiZed and pre-
elpitated the occupants into the water.
Two or their number struck out for the
shofe. ana oelng good swimmers reached it
IN safety, but the other five chung desper-
ately TO the bottom Of the capsized boat
Degerotte and his companions imme-
dlately altered the course of the tug toward
Tie drowning men and took four of them
aboard in safety, when the fifth, young
man whose name could not be ascertained
was seen to letgo his hold, probably owing
to exhaustion, and sink beneath the SUR
face
DegerOtte is an old sailor and. although
nearly 20 years Of age. did not hesitate a
moment to attempt to rescue the drowning
man. He quickly threw off his coat and
shoes and sprang over the rail into the
bay.
After diving several times for the drown
Ing man he succeeded in getting a hold
upon his hair and bringing him to the sur
face in an apparently lifeless condition and
the ready hands of his companions soon
bad both safely on board.
The young man recovered consciousness.
and the whole party was landed at Hunters
Point feeling none the worse for their duck

his timely assistance and bravery, and as
