PARAERLEE ACQUITTED.
The Grand Jury Refused 10 In
dict VIM. Parmerleo for
the Killing of w.
]. C0nd0n-The'
Case.

The grand jury this Dorning ig'
nored the case of VIM. Parmerlee,
charged with murder in the first dc.
gree, for the killing OF w. j. Condor.
No Indictment was therefore found.
and the prisoner was released, acquit.
ted.
At 1890 o'clock on the morning Of
Feb. 8 last, William Parmelee, the
well-known attorney, shot and killed
w. j. Condor, q brakeman. The
shooting took place in Attorney Pr
merlee's Office, and was precipitI ted
BY garnishment proceedings VIII ch
Parmelee in the capacity of an at o.
ney had caused to be run on CoD3 ms
wages, who was in the employee OF the
Missouri Pacific railroad.
The evidence of reputable eye wit
nesses went to show that Condor had
entered the lawyers Office more than
once. and had repeatly threatened him
in divers ways. The remonstrs ces
of Parmelee were of no avail ard IN
climax that followed Condor fell dead,
shot twice with a 32-caliber revolver.
Mr.. Parmelee at once SURRENDERED
himself to the authorities for having
committed the deed.
Condor was 30 years of age and
had the reputation of being a hard
working industrious man. He left
q wife and four little children pro-
vided with q home and some insur
ance money. The affair has been
much deplored by the whole commu-
nifty, and Mr.. Parmelee's exonoration
is only another evidence of the many
unfortunate emergencies in everyday
life, which result for the worst, that
cannot be avoided.

SLAVEN'S DELAY.
The Bridge Which Spans Muddy
Creek "unsxfe" But Not
"Repaired." The
Greek Rising.

There is a very pronounced dispo-
si,ion among those who ought to know
whereof they speak, to censure Bridge
Commissioner Slaven, in particular,
and the honorable county court, in
general, for the tardy manner in which
be or they is,or are, proceeding to re-
pair the bridge which spans Muddy
creek.
Since Mr.. Slaven il thoroughly cog.
nizant of the condition of this bridge,
and it is his duty to look after the
bridges in the county. there are those
who think that should the bridge fall
now at any time, causing both loss of
life and property, none other than he
would be responsible. In fact, he
made a personal investigation of the
condition of the bridge some days ego
and pronounced it dangerous" and
"liab!e to fall at any moment"
1t has been suggested that there is
probably some legal obstacle which
has prompted Mr.. Slaven's delay, but
people generally will incline to the
opinion that be should of at iesst
taken immediate steps to make the
bridge secure, after which more time
could have been taken to make more
substantial repairs.
Muddy creek is now rising
rapidly and if the bridge was
dangerous" q few days ago,
the situation is now doubly serious.
The foundation under the abutment
at the eastern terminus was then, &C
cording to Mr.. Slaven, GLADLY washed
out" and as he says it was "built on
sand," the balance of it is liable to
90 with this freshet.
To say nothing Of the probable loss
Of life, the work of repairing can be
done at once at . cost Of about 81 900.
But if delayed, and the bridge falls.
IS, 900 would not cover the expense
which the county would have to
shoulder.
The bridge, according to reliable
report, is now vibrating at the east
md. Mr.. Slaven has taken some
,teps towards repairing the bridge, Of
course, but what the people want is
hat it be made safe at once, and he |
an take his time about the balance.

TALKING OF LYNCHING.

San Dieeans Thirsting for tho BIooa of
Captain Smith ana Indian Joe.
By the Associated Press
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 3-Captain Smith,
who is under arrest for the murder of
George Neale of the Coronado islands, it
is believed, was several times today on
the verge of making confession, but
the Jail officials cautioned him to be
silent. The schooner San Diego has re-
turned from fruitless search in the vi
cinity of the Island, where it was hoped
to fnd.the body of the murdered boy.
Willie Silbery, the boy who escaped
the fate of his companion, by promising
to conceal the crime, gives graphic
story of the tragedy. He says he helped
Captain Smith to wash away the blood of
young Neale, which had been spattered
over his bunk. but shrewdly omitted to
remove that which spurted on the cell
ing, leaving this to corroborate the
story. He intended to tell ON his az
rival in port.
There has been some talk OF breaking
into the Jail and hanging not only
Smith, but Indian Joe, the Otay mur
derer, whose trial ended today also.
The jury in the case of Indian Joe has
just gone out after night session de-
voted to argument.

He Does Not Expect Any Good to Re-

CONFERENCE.-The Sherman
Bill Must Go.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Representative
Bland of Missouri, chairman of the

sociated Press reporter what he thought
would be the effect of the failure of the
international monetary conference to
agree on anything. He replied
81 don't see that it Would have any
effect one way or the other; don't
think the public generally expect much
of it'
"Do You expect anything from the
conference?"
Il don't, and (decisively) 1 never
have"
"Suppose the conference should fail
and the proposition should then be
made to repeal the Sherman law, what
then ?"
+ THAT will be proposed anyway, I
prteLina. am ia favor of repeating it,
If we can't get something better for
silver. l don't like Sherman myself"
"Do you think there is any prospect
of silver legislation ?"
81 would not like to express any
opinion on that, because do not know
how the members feel. From the way
they voted last session there is not much
prospect OF it.''
aside from free coinage, what plan
can you suggest that would improve the
financial situation ?"
Il would go to work and coin all the
bullion which is purchased. 1t would
be a means by which the deficiency in
the treasury could'be met"

Four Persons Lose Their Lives In a
Swollen Stream.
PLEAsANToN, Cal, Dec. 3.--Informa-
tion has reached here that family
named Nickelson was drowned while
trying to ford Arroyo creek. The heavy
rains of the past week have caused the
creeks in this vicinity to overflow their
banks, submerging the Joining low
lands. When Arroyo creek began ris-
ing Nickel on decided to remove his
family, consisting of his wife and three
children, his sister-in-law and hired
man, from their dwelling, located on
small island in the creek, to
the mainland. The swift current
overturned the wagon, throwing the oc.
cupants into the water. Mrs. Nickelson
and her little daughter were swept away
and drowned. The father endeavored
to save one Of his sons, but was himself
overcome, perishing, with the latter, in
the swollen stream. The hired man, by
a desperate effort. succeeded in drawing
the remaining son and Mrs. Nickelson's
sister to land. A searching party has
recovered the bodies OF Nickelson and
his 11-year-old son, but those of Mrs.
Nicholson and her daughter have not
been fOund

A SCARCITY OF MEAT.
One of the Results of the Storm at San
EranCiscO.

One of the Results of the Storm at San
Francisco.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 3.-A great
scarcity OF fresh meat in the market is
one of the results of the prolonged
storm, and the stock of live cattle has
been go generally reduced that prosects
of serious curtailment in consumption
and material advance in prices are being
seriously considered. Already some of the
slaughtereis in Butchertown have been
compelled to shut down their slaughter
houses in consequence of the dearth
of stock, and the available supply of
cattle, sheep and hogs in this and ad-
jacent markets has been 80 reduced that
many others must cease killing usiess
the supplies are increased. Reports
from interior points OF shipment indi-
cate a serious state of affairs. The
wagon roads are all but impassable. In
quires at the retail markets confirm the
expectations of general advance in
prices consequent upon the expected
short supply. 1t all depends upon the
immediate cessation of the prevailing
storm.

BAIRD OUT ON BAIL.
The MADEIRA Bank Wrecker Given Tenn
pOrary Liberty.

The MADEIRA Bank wrecker Given Tenn
porary Liberty.
FRESNO, Dec. 3.-W. +. Baird, the
MADEIRA bank wrecker, was released
from custody yesterday on $12,5O0 bail.
The transactions of Baird in bringing
the MADEIRA bank to the verge of ruin
are too fresh in the public memory to
need repetition. He was cashier of the
bank and issued number of forged GER
tificates and resorted to all sorts of
clever devices to hide his crooked work.
The grand jury brought in seven indict-
ments, each alleging forgery against him
and John Brown, then president of the
bank. Baird was tried first and con-
victed on two indictments, the others
ars still pending. Baird made applica-
tion come time ago to be admitted to
bail. He wanted to get out of Jail long
enough to settle bis affairs and
realize on some property in order to
maintain his wife during his term of
imprisonment. His application was
granted and his bond placed at 500 900.
This was fully two months ago. His
bond seems to have been too large for
Raird's friends to raise and he continued
to languish in Jail. Recently new
efforts were made in his behalf, and
yesterday the bonds on the united cases
were reduced to $500, and cash bail in
the sum Of $4,000 was required on the
two charges of which he was found
guilty. The bonds of $500 were signed
by large number of MADEIRA people.
The cash was brought into court by o.
j. Woodward of the First National
bank. The money was telegraphed by
W. Finley, from New York, a relative
of Mrs. Baird.

A MYSTERY CLEARED Up.
The Coronado Girl Suicide
Identified.
She Was Miss Lizzie Wyllie OF
Detroit,
From Which Place She Eloped With
Married Man.
She Was Undoubtedly Betrayed and De-
serted-The Whereabouts of the
Author of Her Ruin Is
Not Known.

Special 10 the HERALr
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 3.-Six weeks
ago tomorrow, Miss Lizzie Wyllie,
daughter OF Mrs. Elizabeth Wyllie, mys'
teriously disappeared from her home.
Yesterday the mystery was solved by
the Identification of the dead body al a
young woman found on the beach ct
San Diego, CAL, last Tuesday, with a
bullet-hole in her head, as that of Lizzie
Wyllie of Detroit. Miss Lizzie Wyllie
and her sister May were formerly en-
ployed at Winn g. Hammond'e. John
G. Longfeld, a married man, was the
foreman. He was 80 intimate with Miss
Lizzie that both he and the girl were
discharged. Shortly before Lizzie dis
appeared, Longfeld called at the Wyllie
residence and bid the whole family good
bye. He left the city few days before
Lizzie disappeared. When she left, she
said che was going away to look for
work and might go as far as California.
When Mrs. Wyllie saw the dispatches
about the suicide of Lottie Anderson
Barnard at San Diego, she telegraphed
for a description OF the dead girl. 1t
came as follows:
Height. 51a feet; complexion, fair but
sallow; medium length of black hair;
two small moles on left cheek; broad
features, high cheek bones; brown eyes
weight, $50 pounds age, about 26; good
teeth; plain gold ring On third finger of
left hand ring OF pure gold, with four
pearls and blue stone in center; black
corsets large black hat.
This was an exact description of Liz
zie. She at once telegraphed to her
niece at Pasadena, Cal, who knew Liz
zie, to go and see the body. 1t ia con-
ceded that Lizzie ran away with Long
field.
The family cannot account for the
$1,000 said to have been found on the
body, nor her connection with the Ham
burg, Iowa, bank. She was positively
penni.ess when she left here.

A PRUSSIAN SENSATION.
Sort of a Panama Scandal in NiIitar
Circles.

porC OF fanama Scandal in Military
Circles.
BERLIN, Dec. 3.-Prussia today found
its Panama scandal in the Moabite
criminal court, when, after having been
tainted for lack of veracity, Rector Ahl-
wardt produced five official documents
which proved to be reports- made by
colonels to generals adverse to the Lowe
guns. These must have been stolen.
probably by an officer, who, if found
out, is liable to 10 years penal aervi-
tude. A greater scandal or more sensa-
tional episode could not have occurred.
The army officers, who were pres
ent In large numbers, were aghast;
at first they looked incredulous,
but when the judge examined the docu-
mente and pronounced them authentic
their dismay knew no bounds. Tele.
graphic messages were at once sent to
the emperor, who is shooting in Saxony,
to apprise him of the startling develop
ments and the blow which had fallen on
the army. The documents show that
out OF $50 Lowe guns used at Wesel, 500
were unserviceable. Twenty of the
chambers are burst and broken entirely.
1t must be remembered that there are
425,O 600 Lowe guns in the German army.
This is terribly awkward for the govern
ment, which is bound by necessity to do
every thing to hush up the scandal.

An Electoral Steal in Oregon.

SALEM, Ore, Dec. 3,-Mandamus pro-
ceedings were commenced this after
noon before Judge Bennett to prevent
the secretary of state from counting the
vote of Pierce, liat-Democratic
elector, in the counties in which his
name appeared twice on the official bal
lot, and to command Governor Pen
noyer to issue certificate of election to
Harry B. Miller, the Republican elector.
The Judge ordered a writ to issue, and
an order was made for the governor and
secretary to comply with the prayer of
the petitioner, or show cause for not SO
doing.
