NARROW ESCAPE.

Simon Grabowenske, who works
upon J. A. Wizards farm, was badly
bruised Friday afternoon and had
a narrow escape from death. He was
driving on load of wood down the
hill on Mulberry street between
Fourth and Fifth, when the wagon
slid around on the ice-coated ground
and tipped over. He was badly hurt,
and the wood came very near falling
on him in such manner as to end his
life.

publicity was given to charges coming

A DEFENSE OF SUPT. LEWIS.

EDITOR FREE PRESS:-NOticing a
card from one r. B. Patterson in your
paper, in reference to VIM. Lewis,
superintendent of the county poor
farm, desire to say few words to
correct the injustice which it does a
worthy man. In the first place this
man Patterson should know where
the poor farm is, as he left there only
last Saturday, as an inmate. In re-
gard to Mr.. Lewis being in the city
every day and the county team being
on the streets, Twill state that he
brings in wood, wheat, hogs and other
farm products for the market. In 1891
he sold over 81 900 worth, besides sup
plying the poor house. This year the
figures will be higher. During the
four years which Mr. Lewis has had
charge of the farm there has not at
any time been less than eight in
mates, and there are at present thir-
teen. There are but two employees,
instead of five or six, as Patterson
states. Mr.. Lewis has made a most
excellent superintendent, and [ have
never heard of any fault being found.
A visit to the poor farm will convince
anyone of the truth of this statement.
He does his very best and devotes his
whole time to the interests of the
farm, as though upon his own land.
The public will perhaps remember
this man Patterson as having served
term at the county Jail, and he has
at least twice been,an inmate at the
poor farm and been refused readmit-
lance there by Com. MahOwald. The
letter is not worth noticing, except
that people who did not know it's
source might be misled.

his address, McCreary of Kentucky asked
if the scope and plan of the exposition
was not nearly double that of any EXPOSE
ton ever held, and also II Davis and his
associates were satisfied with the outlook
that it would be the grandest inter
national exposition yet held.
The Director-General replied IN the
affirmative, saying all nations IN the
world We're striving for more space than
could be allotted them. Never before
had artists and manufacturers OF the Old
World neutral place in which TO ex-
hibit.
McCreary further asked what effect the
closing Of the gates on Sunday would
have upon the exposition.
Davis said it would largely decrease the
receipts: that fully $1,000 people would
visit the park Sunday, even if there was
no attraction there.
Wheeler of Alabama suggested that the
most eminent clergymen be secured to
speak on the exposition grounds on sun
day, and that red music 10 played.
Davis, said there 9ift0Hhk { been any
proposition made machinery
should run on Sund;. al TO that he was
personally opposed. ~cBy stopping the
machinery. probably two employees could
be spared sundays. All that it was pro-
posed to have open was the grounds and
art galleries.
Walker Of Chicago told the committee
that an amendment had been framed in
the Act by Which the local corporation
obligated itself to meet and defray all
expenses FROM now until the close OF the
exposition, and the committee would he
! furnished with Il certified copy of the
agreement, signed by such men as Mar
shall Field and Mr.. Armour; that if
Congress granted the aid asked they
would hold themselves responsible for
any further money needed, and would
not again ask aid from any source.
Davis called attention TO the Iact that
all work on The exposition was being
done on the eight-hour plan and six days
in a week.
The committee then adjourned, subject
to the call Of the Chairman.

A REVEREND sCoUNDREL,
Assaults Two Girls on Railway Train

Assaults Two Girls on a Railway Train
In England.
LONDON, May 17.-There appears to be
an epidemic of assaults on women tray
cling alone in railway compartments.
Yesterday a painter named Windle was
arrested at Retford, for assaulting a cook
named Hannah Cardock III a railway car
riage. The prisoner was aIraigned to-
day and remanded for trial.
Another case which is the blacker. from
the fact that the offender is a minister,
was reported to-day. Rev. Kennedy Bell,
rector OF Little Bedwyn, in Nilkeshlre,
was travelling in company with Miss
Britain, daughter Of a kintDury station
master. He spoke to the girl, and she,
seeing he was Clergyman, entered into
conversation with INN. Finally, Bell
made an improper proposal, which she
Indignantly spurned, but he took advan-
tago OF his superior strength and indie
Gently assaulted her, though not until she
made desperate struggle TO escape.
When the train reached Great Bedwyn
Miss Britain got out, but did not mention
the assault 10 the guards, telling her
parents, however, as soon as possible
what had beialen her.
The train proceeded and Miss Abory, a
telegraph operator, took Miss BritaIns

her in conversation aud at last trieu to
fondle her. She repealed his advances,
bat he persisted and grasped her about
the waist. Despite her frantic efforts to
free herself he succeeded also III assault
ing her. AS usual the communication
cord was not in ORDER ana Doth girls,
though they shrieked for help, were not
heard.
After Bell committed the crime he
talked to Miss Abery, pointing out TO her
the disgrace that would accrue to her
should she tell of the AFFAIR. But she re-
fused to listen and at the next station
notified the guards of the occurrence and
the reverend Scoundrel was taken into
custody. Shortly afterward the police
were informed of the assault made upon
Miss Britain.
Bell, who is a married man with two
children, had heretofore borne an excel
lent reputation. The girls are also Of the
best character.
The affair caused widespread indigna-
ton and the feeling against Bell is very
bitter. he was remanded Tor trial.

NAPA, May 17.-This morning the trial
OF Charles Schmidt, charged with the
murder Of Mrs. John @. Greenwood at
her home near Napa on February 8, 1891,
began. The crime was such a heinous
one that 1t has become notorious through
out the State. Much interest is mani
tested. The courtroom is crowded all
the time. Judge Murphy of san Fran
cisco is presiding; District Attorney Ges-
ford prosecuting and Attorneys Gwynn,
Hull and COgnlap represent the de-
PENDANT. a venire of one hundred
jurors was summoned and the work of
securing jury is now III progress. The
matter of getting a jury is proceeding
slowly, as schmidt when arrested made
confession, which was widely pub
lisbed
At the opening of court counsel for the
defense asked continuance, alleging
that certain dispositions from residents of
Minnesota, for whom Schmidt formerly
worked, establishing defendants good
character, were necessary to the defense.
The District Attorney admitted that these
persons would testify to Schnidt's good
character previous TO August, 1890, and
the motion was denied. 1t is supposed
insanity will be set up as the defense.
Inc afternoon was spent i'll an endeaVOr
to get jury. Forty-tour were examined
but only tive accepted.

They Can't Understand How Their.
Favorite Was Beaten.
FRESNO, May H.-To-night Ostrom's
supporters are still wondering what hit
them. Never were a set of men more
confident of victory, and never were any
more painfully surprised. They cannot
yet tell just why they lost. Nine-tenths
of the delegates are Cleveland men.
Whenever his name was mentioned the
convention went wild with enthusiasm
and yet when the vote was taken thew
cast big majority for Murphy, who.
though believed to be in favor Of Cleye-
land himself, has as his supporters every
Democrat in the convention who was op-
posed to the eX-President.
Just what the election means is hard to
say. 1t may be taken as certain how
ever, that the delegates to Chicago will
not be instructed, although they will
probably be at least friendly 10 Cleve-
land.
Stephen NJ White of Los Angeles seems
to be certain Of the choice for delegate at
large. and Jas. V. Coleman of San Fran
cisco is almost equally sure of election.
Butler Of Fresno has an excellent chance
Ponds stock has gone down somewhat
and that OF Thompson of Humboldt has
risen. W. w. Foote has a strong follow
ing and may win, but he has refused to
indorse Cleveland, and is credited by The
Ostrom men with being the chief cause of
their defeat, and will therefore be bitterly
opposed.
a great deal of comment is being made
on the fact that in his speech on taking
the chair Mr.. Murphy never once men
toned the name of Cleveland.
The railroad plank will probably be a
glittering generality, although several
delegates will present strongly denunci-
atory resolutions on the subject.
There viii be no contests to speak of be-
fore the Committee on Credentials. 1t
was first announced that the Opera-house
could not be secured for night sessions,
ana when the matter was arranged it was
too late TO arrange for a session tonight.

night.
