Bloody Work Aboard q British Ship at
San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-On board
the British ship Gilcruix, this morning,
William Furlong had qurrrel with
James johnson, another Of the sailors,
and the men began stabbing each other
with their sheath knives. johnson for
q time seemed like maniac, and as
the men struggled back and forth on the
deck, he struck wildly at Furlong with
his knife. William Wood, John Welch
and William Reid attempted to separate
the two combatants, but were cut and
slashed in . sickening manner and the
forecastle floor was soon slippery with
blood. johnson himself was bleeding
from several wounds, but it was not till
others Of the ships crew grappled with
him that he was overcome. Reid and
Wood had q narrow escape for their
lives, and had not their shipmates come
to their assistance, would probably have
been hacked to death. A squad of po-
lice was summoned and all five were
charged with assault to murder, John
son and Furlong being held as the
principals. Both OF the latter are in a
serious condition. According to the
story told by Welch, the men drank
freely while on shore yesterday and
when they returned to the ship this
morning johnson became angry because
Furlong wiahed to read. The men then
drew knives and began their bloody
work,

DENVER, Colo., Dec. %. The greatest
gold fever that has stricken Colorado
since the Ruby and California gulch
diggings drew thousands OF miners into
those camps. has now complete posses
sion of the west. Here, as we'll as in
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona,
there is nothing talked of except the
new placer fields OF the San
Juan river, in Southern Utah.
At Durango, Rico and Dolores,
this state, many outfits have already
started for the new fields land by Satur-
day it is estimated 300 miners will have
left these three points for the Eldorado.
Mining men in almost every town are
dubbed together ard offering big in
ducement to professional prospectors to
visit the mines. At Albuquerque,
N. NJ, and other points along
the line of the Atlantic and Pa
cifc, excitement is intense and
railway officials and clerks have thrown
up their positions and headed the great
army OF gold hunters. The fact that of
many who have already gone into this
country none nave returned is strong
evidence that the sand lie rich enough to
keep them there. New stage lines
have been established from Albu-
querque to Pennington and Winslow,
along the line of the Atlantic and Paci-
&c, and also from Durango and Dolores,
Colo., on the line of the Denver and Rio
Grande. These gold fields are probably
the most accessible by way Of the latter
points. which are only 80 miles from
them, and 100 shorter than the other
routes. The stage runs by way of Bluff
City, Utah, which is now the nearest
settlement.

ROUGH ON SAN BERDOON.
STARTLING RAILROAD RUMORs IN
CIRCULATION.
The Santa Fe to Make Cut OF, Leaving
San Bernardino Out In the Cold
An Alleged Southern Pa
cific Dicker.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-A San Ber-
nardino special says: It was learned
today from reliable sources that certain
important railroad changes will be made
in the Santa Fe main line from Los An
geles to the east, which will very ma
terially affect the value of property in
this city. The present li1e OF the Santa
Fe from Los Angeles passes through
Etiwanda and San Bernardino, diverging
at the latter place at right angle,
through Cajon pass, via Barstow to the
east. 1t is propo sed to build station
at Cajon pass and run line from that
point direct to Etiwanda, thus cutting
off San Bernardino from the main line.
This change will shorten the route east,
via Barstow, II miles, but its depress-
ing effect upon the property interests
and business of this community will be
inestimable, Work has already begun
upon the depot at the mouth of Cajon
pass.
A DIVISION OF TERRIT0RY.
A New York special says: 1t was ru-
mored in Wall street yesterday that an
agreement had been reached between
@. p. Huntington of the Southern Pa
cific company and Magoun OF the Santa
Fe that the Southern Pacific company
would not invade the Atchison territory
in San Diego, and the latter would not
provoke Southern Pacific hostility by
going into their territory in the San

valleys. This arrangement ia looked

Interest in the Recent Discovery of
sparklers Continues.
BOISE Cry, Idaho, Dec. 23.- Interest
in the diamond discovery does not abate.
There is still much skepticism about
the matter, and many reasons for being
cautious still exist. There is much very
good ev idence that the stones found are
real diamonds; also much evidence that
they exist in large quantities; but 60
many discrepancies appear in various
stories told that cautious people are in
clined to reserve judgment. In very
short time the existing doubt will be re.
moved one way or the other, for many
parties are visiting the fields, and the
stones are being sent away for exam
ination by persons who have no object
in deceiving any one. A Boise real
estate firm has brought an expert from
the east to make an examination, and
he left for the fields today. Several par
ties have gone from Boise, this being
the best outfitting point and being as
near the fields as any other place.

The San Juan Placer Camp Is a Delu-

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 23.-The San
Juan river gold excl tement has about
subsided. Parties are returning from
the placer fields every day. The ma
jority say that there is no gold to
amount to anything iu the placers. II
there is any kind of development done
on the river it will have to be done by
capitalists, and the proposition as to
whether or not it will pay is doubtful
one, as it is from IL to 80 feet to bed
rock and lots of water to contend with.
No gold has been taken out Of the San
Juan. Notwithstanding that it has been
reported that large sums have been
panned out. The camp is no place for
poor men. The country over which
they have to pass is a desert one and
there is no work there nor any gold.

CHAIRMAN BAKER, of the republican
state executive committee and Congress-
man Houk have returned from the
headquarters of the national executive
committee, where it ia understood $4,000
were delivered to them Cab a corruption
fund, with the injunction to sacrifice If
necessary their candidate for governor, if
in 50 doing it would enable them to elect
majority of the legislature inimical to
democracy. In this County, the wishes
Of the national republican committee is
being complied with. No republican has
been nominated for the legislature, but
third party man has been put forward for
that position He recognizes the fact that
If elected it will be because he received
sufficient number of votes from the re-
publican party TO overcome the demo-
cratic majority in the county. He would
be under mo obligations to the democratic
party. The candidate opposing him is
representative of that party. The former
cannot be relied upon to vote for demo-
crat for the United States Senate; but,
being indebted to the republican party
for his election, il 10 reasonable to sup
pose that he would support full Hedged
republican for the senate rather than a
democrat. He Is no friend to the demo-
cratic party. but an enemy, and is now
endeavoring TO defeat that party's nomi-
nee. A democratic president without a
democratic congress could not repeal the
existing tariff laws, bnt with democrat
ic president and a democratic congress
the present tariff laws would be annuled.
Therefore, the republican executive COM
mittee is more interested in having an
anti-democratic represent alton in states
where United States Senators are 10 be
elected than in the election of governors
for such states. A part of the duties of
the next Legislature of Tennessee will be
the election Of a successor to Senator
Bate, which makes it very important that
democrats send to the next General AS
sembly none but true and tried members
of the party.

New CASTLE, Sept. 10, 1892.

EDITORS Misunderstanding
to previous appointment, at eight
O'Clock Thursday evening, Hons.
Josiah Patterson and James w.
Jones addressed large and atten-
tive audience IN the Institute at
this place. Their constituents had
made all necessary arrangements
for the disciples OF pure democracy.
Quite a number of ladies. as well
as the cOarser sex, honored the oc-
casion with their presence.
Our representative opened the
discussion In a short, but pointed
speech, in which he indicated his
course while ian the general assem-
bly,, denying many false charges
made against him. He also proved
that the doctrines Of the third par
ty were short sighted and silly in
the extreme.
Then Col. Patterson delivered a
lengthy address, covering the whole
political situation, which was grand
and convincing. His speech was
well received, and caused some to
abandon erroneous ideas, which
they had entertained regarding
the third party and return to the
democratic fold.
At the conclusion, it was suggest
ed that a Cleveland Club be or
gained, and q canvass of the
crowd resulted in securing the fo;-
lowing names.
