THE BALTIMORE INCIDENT.
SENTENCES IMPOSED BY THE
JUDGE OF CRIMES.
The Families of the Sailors Killed
Can Recover Damages by
Civil Suit.
Special to the RECoRD-UN1oN.


NEW YORK, Feb. A HeraId's Val
paraiso special says: Judge of Crimes
Foster to-day passed sentence in
the Baltimore assault case. His SEN
tence is subject to review by the
Court of Appeal. The document covers
$50 pages and goes all over again the evil
dence against the accused and compares
it closely with the evidence presented by
the prisoners. The finding of the court
is:
Carlos Arena, alias Gomez, is sentenced
to $50 days imprisonment for wounding
Turnbull, 800 days for public dis
order, sixty days for carrying a knife
and twenty days for giving an assumed
name. This makes total of 920 days.
Jose Ahumada is sentenced to 800 davs'
imprisonment for injuring Turnbull.
Frederic Rodriguez is sentenced to I4O
days imprisonment for wounding Rig
gin, for public disorder. and for CARRYING
a knife.
1t is held by Judge Foster that the evi-
dence does not show that Rodriguez killed
Riggin. On the contrary, it is claimed
that Higgins death was caused by a shot
fired by an unknown person. Gomez
and Rodriguez, under the Chilean penal
code, must pay the families of Turnbull
and Riggin damages. These damages are
recoverable by civil suit.

SAN Francisco, Feb. IA serious cut
ting affray took place this afternoon in
the fruit store on the corner of Second
and Mission streets, kept by a man
named Campagna, in which Rosie Cam
pagna, his wife, received deep cut in the
left cheek and one in her neck which
barely missed the jugular vein. The
wielder of the razor with which the cuts
were made was Antonni Lalla, who at
attempted to kill the woman in true Malta
style. Campagna and a man named Pa
rente, who is brother-in-law of Lalla,
had some trouble during the first part of
the week, and from angry words they
came to blows. After they were sepa-
rated Parente swore revenge, and he in
formed Lalla, who went to The fruit store
of Campagna to-day. The proprietor of
the place was not in at the time but Rosie
Campagna and Lalla commenced to argue
over the trouble which had occurred be-
tween her husband and Parente. Lalla
swore at Mrs. Campagna in Italian and
before the woman had chance to reply
to the insult the former whipped out a
razor and welded 1t as above mentioned.
The woman was placed on the operating
table at the Receiving Hospital and had
her wounds dressed. Lalla was immedi-
ately arrested after the occurrence and
taken to the Southern Station, where he
was charged with assault to murder.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The confrma-

Judge of Idaho, marks the termination
IN favor of the Administration of the

opposition was able to prevent action
upon the nomination during the few
weeks that remained of the last session of
the kifty-first Congress. Three days after
congress adjourned, however. the Presi-
dent appointed Beatty to the Judgeship,
and his nomination was one of the first to
be sent TO the Senate at the beginning of
the present Congress. Again the Idaho
Senators resumed their opposition to the
nomination. But for nearly a wear judge
Beatty had been discharging the func-
t1onS Of his office in Idaho and California.
His decisions have been sustained when

facts naturally had the effect of a favora-

found that several of their Republican
colleagues who had been in sympathy
with them last year had changed their
minds and determined to support the
President a week ago Shoup and Du-
bois realized they were defeated, and
after notifying the Judiciary Committee
they had nothing to retract, but did not
care TO follow the matter further. they
abandoned the contest and the nomina-
tion was confirmed to-day without any

SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY.
CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS
SOON TO BE MADE.
Bridge Across Carquinez Straits and
a Double Track to Sacramento
Probable.
snecial 10 the REcoRD-UNroN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-From reports
Messrs. Crocker, Huntington and Stan
ford are having quite an extended bust
ness conference at New York. Beside
considering the bids that have been sub
mitted to the Pacific Improvement Com
pany for the construction of the tunnels
and the grading of the line of the pro-
posed extension OF the coast division
south from Santa Marguerite, they are
going 10 carefully study some newly
made plans for a bridge over Carquinez
Straits at or near Port Costa.
The plans and estimates for the pro
posed bridge are based upon soundings
of the straits that were taken some three
years ago. The extreme depth in the
middle of the channel is about us feet.
while all the way across there is Il good
foundation of rock that can be easily
reached below thin layer OF sand and
mud. The soundings fully established
the fact that the rocky bed was hard and
permanent enough to support eight or
nine gigantic piers, several Of which may
be from 250 to go feet in hight
On account of the fact that the high
bluffs at Vallejo junction and those op-
poste to it on the other shore afford
splendid approaches to the necessarily
ElSn structure IDaJ VIII nave TO be erected
in order not to impede navigation, the
engineering department of the company
has recommended that one be built ut or
within a few hundred feet of that point.
Accordingly all plans and estimates have
to do with the proposed bridge in that
vicinity, but just what they are only the
parties concerned know.
1t is known, however, that there are
separate plans and estimates for high
grade structure, that is, one without a
draw; and low grade bridge, or one with
draw; also, further details as to the ben
etits and cost OF having either kind COW
cred or uncovered.
The cost of the Improvement will rep
resent several million dollars, and if a
high-grade bridge is the plan selected it
Will necessitate the erection of piers at
least l60 feet above the surface of the
water, thus giving two or more piers near
the middle of the channel hight of
about go feet. The structure viii have
some eight or nine spans, no matter what
plan is agreed upon.
When the time comes for the construe-
ton and completion of the bridge the
main line of the road at Benicia will run
round to the north of that town in a
curve from the Solano County end of the
bridge, and the double track between
Oakland Pier and Vallejo junction will
be extended across the bridge and on to
sacramento.

CHICAGO, Feb. captain Higgins,

dians still cling to the belief that the
Messiah will appear some day to save
them,' said Captain Higgins. ''They do
not pretend to know the date fixed for the
deliverance, but say God will destroy the
white people and place the Indians back
IN the happy, independent state Of their
existence before the white people came"
Captain Huggins witnessed the distribu-
ton Of cattle Tor the Indians at the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe agencies. The cattle
supplied by the contractor were SO thin
and poor that one of the chiefs objected to
them. The officer who inspected the cat
tie rejected them. An investigation
showed that all poor and worthless cattle
were given to the Indians, the fatter ones
being shipped to the markets.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 4. = The NelO
Delta, the organ of the anti-lottery party,
will tomorrow contain an interview
with the Chairman of the Anti-Lottery
Democratic Executive Committee, to the
effect that Morris withdrawal of his lot
lery proposition will not make the
slightest change in the programme Of
their party. He adds that the PROPOSE
ton heretofore made by the lottery is no
longer acceptable to its advocates, by rea-
son of the curtailment of it's revenue
through the decision of the Supreme
Court. "But should the attempt to cap
ture the State not succeed, they may yet
strive TO call constitutional convention
under the pretext of regulating suffrage
and obtain another grant for n lottery in
the new Constitution on terms more favor
able than the amendment now pending,
or adopt other means OF achieving their
object All former experiences with the
lottery have taught us that it is fertile in
schemes to effect its purpose. We intend
to see that amendment voted down in
April by such a majority as to preclude
all possibility of further agitation on the
question, and none but anti-lottery men
will be placed on guard until all the lot
teries have ceased to maintain legal eX-
istence in the State of Louisiana"
