In which the king. the high priest and the

arch's feet ought to have been.
In view OF the fact that King Solomon
was at the time endeavoring to put on his
regal tights and keep his pipe lighted SIM
ultaneously, the sudden deluge was mop
perfume.
1t gave rise to belief in certain predica-
ments even Solomon may run few chips
shy of real magnifcence; but king like. he
bore his trails without murmur, and yanked
on his tights with his toes away up in the
air.

the subject of fruit products, declared that

which would have to be added. Mr.. w. G.
Henry, secretary Of the Commissioner of
Agriculture of Wisconsin, he said, had told
him that of the 1874 cars of fruit which
reach Chicago from California, not one had
reached his city (Madison), which has a
population of 16. 600.
Tie substance of Mr.. Mills address was
that the people of the East want Califor-
mia fruit. but they cannot obtain it on ac-
count Of the lack of transportation faciIi-
ties.
Mr.. johnson called attention to the fact
that the sum Of $1,000 allowed for preparing
Typographical maps of California for the
Worlds Fair is insufficient. The matter was
referred to committee.
Congressman Caminetti addressed the
meeting on the subject of river aud har-
Dor improvements. He called attention to
the neglect of Congress to appropriate any
thing for the improvement of San Francisco
harb0r. He declared himself in favor of
a survey of the bay of San Francisco and
expressed the opinion that 81 zoo, 600 should
be appropriated for the improvement and
drainage of the Sacramento and San Joa-
Quin rivers.

Huntington'S Passenger Man
Doubts Everything.
he DOES Not Think There Will Be a nate
War and Pretends to Believe All
Runners Published Untrue.

General Passenger Agent I. Fl. Goo1msn
Of Huntington's railroad has returned from
his Eastern trip Of some weeks duration.
He has been an interested participant at
the Knights Templar ConcIave in Denver,
available assistant in Mr.. Stubs foolish
fight before the Transcontlnental Traffic
Association and an active delegate to the
Passenger Rate convention held in Chicago.
But Mr.. Goodman did not seem bit IA
tgued yesterday, and all that heavy but
useless work he did east Of the Rockies
has not discouraged him in the least
The Santa Fe's proposition to cut their
second-class rates west Of the Missouri, the
withdrawal OF the Canadian Pacific and the
Great Northern from the Transcontinental
Association, and all the rumors of an i'm
pending war OF railroads have apparently
not affected Mr.. Goodman.
He simply leaned back in his chair and
said he does not believe word of what has
been said.
There never was such a serene and calm
doubter Of everything as Mr. Goodman is,
when the occasion requires him to be in that
mood.
What he does believe in is that G. p.
Huntington is the greatest man on earth,
and that Leland Stanford is an angel with
out wings.
Rate-cutting Is, however. going on daily in
lively manner on Montgomery street, and
tickets can be bought from this city to east
ern points considerably below the regulation
prices.
The preliminary scramble for Worlds
Fair patronage is also practiced every day
by the various pasteb0ard sellers.
They are preparing for the contest Of next

| who drops into a ticket office will be told

| can see the wonders of the Columbian Fair

circus men are good ones at bartering,
and 1t is while in condition of semi-nudity
between changes that the heroes OF the tan
ring swap props.
The absence of clothes lends wholesome
atmosphere of aboriginal equality to every

affable jokes with the clown'w lille endeayor-

fessionals than circus men, and, be 1t re-

As to the question OF residence Judge

LOUIS McWHIRTER'S DEATH.
Crittenden Thornton Scouts
the Suicide Theory.
He Has Evidence That at Least Seven Shots
Were Fired, and Asserts That Several
Arrests Will Be Made Soon.

Crittenden Thornton is an angry man,
and he does not care who knows it.
lie is a lawyer and he has just returned
from Fresno, where he was in attendance
at the McWhirter inquest.
The way they do things in Fresno and tho
manner in which Fresno officials are con-
Quoting judicial proceedings are the causes
of Mr. Thornton's anger
Louis McWhirter, lawyer, politician
and newspaper man, was found dead in the
back yard of his residence on l. street, in
Fresno, one morning
Three theories were advanced at the time,
each one accounting for the manner in
which he met his death.
lie was killed by robbers, political enemies
caused him to be assassinated, or he COM
mtted suicide.
McWhirter was a violent opponent to the
Fresno Democratic element at present In
power, and the political assassination
theory was therefore the most plausible one.
Lawyer Thornton, being engaged to rep
resent the widow of McWhirter, is fully
convinced that the man was murdered, and
that the District Attorney and the Sheriff of
Fresno County are not at all anxious to get
at the facts of the case.
He says he and his detectives have OBJ
tained sufficient proof already to show that
at least seven shots were fired when Me-
Whittier was killed, although Sheriff
Hensley and his men never found more
than FIVE
Some of these shots were, according to
Mr.. Thornton's discoveries. fired in the
chlcken-yard, near which McWhirter fell
just before lie died, ana one of them was
doubtless fired from either the alley in the
rear Of the McWhrter residence or by
man entering the yard from that direction.
The suicide theory is considered abso-
lutely without foundation by Mr.. Thorn
ton, who says that all rumors pointing to
solution Of the McWhrter theory in that
direction are spread simply in the interests
of the insurance companies, who will have
TO pay some 100000 for his DEATH and by
his political enemies, who are trying to find
an easy manner by which they can avoid
further investigation.
But our detectives are still at work on
the case, and we will surprise them shortly"
said Mr.. Thornton.
If the six insurance companies who wrote
policies on McWhirter's life refuse to pay
amounts his widow is entitled to there will
be another chance for judicial investi CATION,
and altogether there is every indication
that the McWhirter case did not end when
the Fresno jury brought in verdict to the
effect that McWhirter was killed "by per-
son or persons to the jury unknown"
