clubs from monopolizing uninclosed lands
on which all sportsmen should have the
rights and privileges Of shooting, and secure
a preserve. After a lengthy discussion ii

Of San Francisco, who came here to buy
sealskins for c. n. Ladd, left for home on
the City of Puebla yesterday. lie did not
buy any sealskins, as there were none for
sale at the offerings Of the buyers. 1t is
now almost certain that the summer catch

London. II was stated this afternoon that
Robert Ward dC Co. were preparing to ship
tie skins taken by the vessels for which
ftey are agents, to the number OF about
6000
Iue action of the seal men is based on
the outlook, which is very good. The best
estimates are that the number Of skins TO
be offered at the sales will bs limited and
hence prices viii be good.
The council OF the British Columbia
Board Of Trade met to-day to discuss the

A JOHN M'NUL4Y MEETING
It Promised Much, but Did
Very Little.
The Condemned Man in Court Again Yester-
day-No Decision Rendered by
Judge Murphy

Mrs. A. Il. Osborn rose In Judge Murphy S
court yesterday morning and made the
statement that a meeting OF ladies would be
held in the evening for the purpose of ex
tending sympathy to John McNulty and
his mother.
She said that the meeting would be held
at 335 McAllister street.
The meeting at that place last night was
the opening of the new hall of the Inde-
dependent Free-thought Bible Spiritualist
Society. and there was not much sympathy
for MeNulty displayed.
1t was called to order by DR.. c. H. Rim
rs and WAS opened with q song by Mrs Os-
born.
The song was Of very sentimental and
touching character and was sung in a weird,
heart-rendng tone
The words were expressive Of maternal
affection, and each verse ended with q
chorus, The last line Of which was, Il re-
member the voice Of my mother" 1t was
a very long song and took in all the details
OF a mans life describing all the trials and
hardships from the cradle to the grave.
AT its conclusion Mrs. Osborn rose and
made a short speech, in which she said she
knew how sorry Mrs. McNulty would be TO
hear Of the position her son was in.
'All Of you," she said, have mothers
either here or in the spirit, and ask you
tonight TO remember John McNulty's 3
mother. Remember her in her sorrow and
sadness, and pray for her. There is no love
like mothers. so let us oil join in prayer
for John McNulty."
Sister Denham prayed for a long time,
but she seemed to have forgotten all about
John, as she never mentioned him.
The song Nearer, Ny God, to Thee" was
sung, after which repeated reference was
again made TO John McNuity.

Fatal Result OF Pouring He4er lnto hed

HoLIIsTER, Sept Con Monday morn
ing, at about o'clock, fatal accident
occurred on the Cienega Motor Railroad.
The engine left Tres Pinos on Sunday
afternoon and had gone but few miles
when it was found necessary to stop and
make some repairs. J. J. Burt. the owner
of tie road. was on board, and he instructed
the engineer to make the necessary repairs
and to proceed 10 the limekiln early on
Monday morning. Instead of obeying these
Instructions the engineer concluded to
make the run at night, and feeling some
what indispOsed, turned the engine over to
the fireman.
BY the time the last watering station was
reached one of the boilers was redhOt and
water was Immediately turned into IT, In
two or three minutes a terrible explosion
occurred. The fireman, W. Ii. MAYNARD,
was thrown a great distance and instantly
killed. Two Italians, who are helpers on
the road, left the engine as soon as the
water connections were made, starting on
foot toward tie kiln. They were about 200
yards away when the explosion occurred
and escaped unnjured. The engineer was
lying down some distance away and he too
escaped. The boiler was blown 10 atoms
and not a particle OF II could be found IN
tie immediate vicinity of the explosion.
The other parts of the engine remained In
tsct.
An inquest was held there to-day on May
nard's mangled remains, but the Coroner S
jury was unable to render a verdict on ae-
count of the fact that the engineer, David
hutchinson. faied to put in an appear
auee. lie has left the county. An effort
will be made to have him here by Monday,

Mayor Sanderson Tells OF a Recent Visit
to tho Board Of Equalization.
Mayor Sarlerson has issued an address
10 the citizens Il which he declares that It is
a waste of time for representatives Of this
city to 20 before the State Beard Of Equal
zation to prevent the arbitrary raising Of
assessments as long as that board bases
values On the sales of property from year TO
year.
'''The State boards answer to all applica-
tions," writes the Mayor, ''for reduction. is
that the law says they must assess at full
cash values. There are two answers to this
position. The first, | regret to say, is that
the board is the law, in the vital sense that
as yet It is the translator Of its meaning :;
and, second, that if the board decided, as il
undoubtedly has the power to, and l think
should decide. that the meaning of full
cash values is the price that city or country
real estate would bring If an owner was
forced by a creditor to sell it, then ii would
arrive at the Just conclusion that 50 or 80
per cent of tie current market yalueS, as
represented annually by the sales made, is a
full cash value 1or the whole realty CON-
m0dity-that is, OF the city al large or Of
farms of an agricultural country"
