Every year the hunt for the precious
metals and the shining stones grows
sharper until the plateau of Thibet and
the farther isles of the eastern archi-
pelago are almost the only likely places
where the agents of European firms are
not inquiring and prospecting and send
ing home concrete evidences that, if
enough is spent and sufficient area Of
unknown territory is diligently exam
ined, there may be solid returns The
emerald seekers of Ecuador know the
paths of its mountains better than
geographers, and the hunters for gold
will make known every ravine Of the
vast region between Cape Colony and
Lake Nyassa.
Every year the demand for wood
drives importers into more distant for
ests, while the enthusiasts of botany and
ornithoiogy are ransacking regions into
which it was recently supposed 10 be
death to enter. The Ph9nicians Of our
day number whole tribes, and they are
penetrating everywhere, exactly like
their old prototypes, in search of spoils.
Nothing stops the explorers for gain and
another party will follow them yet, not
longing for minerals or new drugs, but
for great estates. Australia was not ex-
plored for explorations sake, but to find
lands fit to support great herds, and SO
will Africa be and the eastern archipel-
ago.
The competition for great fortunes
grows bitterly sharp, and this is road
ON which adventurers need only daring,
certain capacity for command, and a
resolve 10 explore such as was displayed
in New South Wales by the Went
worths, who, twice beaten by the noun
tains, went ON a third time, to become
great mobiles in the southern world

A GREAT MEMORY,
Ii Prevented the Escape of an
Indecent Wretch.

Evidence In the defense Of John Johnson,
sickly looking man with scragly, yellow
whiskers and g0ld-rimmed glasses, was
heard In Department of the Police Court
yesterday. Last week the fellow was ar
rested in public square for Indecent con-
duct toward little girls. A dozen of them
appeared for the prosecution and told story
that placed the wretch in a most unenvia-
bic light.
When the trial was resumed yesterday
Detective Arnop Balm bridge happened to be

officer is familiarly styled, is proud of his

sons case, but when the defendant entered
the dock he said musingly to CALL re-
porter: I've seen that man somewhere
before. All, yes, it's Johnson, and l saw
him in this very courtroom thirteen years
ago." and Banbridge disappeared.
In the meantime all went on merrily for
the defense. -Four men deposed that John
son had worked as bench-haud in an Oak

he was quiet, industrious man of good

The defendants attorney made an eloquent
appeal to tie court, asking for a dismissal
of the charge and pleading for the poor,
sick, decTepit" defendant.
For moment Judge Loves opinion was
shaken and the prospects appeared excel
lent for dismissal Johnson's lawyer
rubbed his hands and smiled approvingly at
the court. No ALLOW ance had been made,
however for the unerring memory of De-

turned, and in his hand held memoran-

upset the defense by one simple sentence /:
The defendant, John johnson. was con-

of which he is now charged. and in June,
1879, sentenced to six months Imprisonment
in the House of Correction"
THAT settles it" said Judge Love as John
son collapsed In The dock; "the little'girls tes-
tilted very pointedly against him. There is
great deal Of this thing going on. and 1t is
generally done by some old fool"
The trial was then continued until to-day.

IN ETERNAL SLEEP.
Fishermen Killed by Fumes From
Charcoal.

Great excitement was created at Fisher
mems Wharf yesterday afternoon by the
discovery that two Italian salmon-catchers
had been asDhyxiated while sleeping in a
boat moored to the wharf. The victims were
Joseph Isticato, aged Is years, and Joseph
Fernando. aged 80 years.
They were engaged in fishing for salmon
in the Sacramento River. near Black Dia-
m0nd. and on Tuesday returned to this city
and disposed of load Of fish. AS it rained
on Wednesday night they could not sleep in
their open boat and S. Giovanni gave them
permission to spend the night on his COW

Friends OF the men thought they had gone

cousin of the deceased, entered the cabin Of

pronounced them both dead. They had
been in eternal sleep many hours, and their
bodies were stiff and cold. Coroner Gar

be removed to the MOTgue, where an in

with Frank Abbott three days after the
event. in which Abbott stated he knew
nothing about the tragedy, and one Of the
police officers who joined In the pursuit.
THE LAST WITNESS.
When the time for adjournment arrived
Mrs. Johnston was under cross.examination
by Mr.. FOote, and she being too i'll to en-
dure the ordeal longer. Mr.. Foote stated
that about another hour would be all that
was needed TO finish her examination.
District Attorney Barnes stated that
owing to the Sidney Bell case coming up
this afternoon and the fact that Monday
was legal holiday. he desired a continu-
ance Of the Cnrtis case till Tuesday morning.
The defense offering no objection, the jury
were dismissed with the usual caution
against talking among themselves or with
others about the case until Tuesday morn
ing.
DAY OF GLOOM
The leaden skies without made the court
room peculiarly gloomy place yesterday.
The rain in the streets seemed to have had
the effect OF driving an unusual number of
idlers into the corridors Of the City Hall,
and a great portion Of the crowd drilteu
into the courtroom where the well-knOWn
actor was on trial. The ladies, however,
did not turn out as numerOusly as on the
sunny days. Mrs. Homer Sprague. her
daughter, Mrs. w. W. Davis, and Roland
Reed sat with the defendant and his wife
during the morning and afternoon sessions.
Judge Lawler sat with Judge Trout during
the afternoon.
George Alpers, a round, smooth-faced
young man, who keeps a grocery and liquor
store at the corner of Folsom and Fifth
streets. testified that he was serving drinks

Abbott mad testified that day that he saw
two men running from the scene of the
tragedy, one running north and the other

others IN regard TO the running mau,

MRS. JOHNsToN's LATE WATCH.
The last witness was Mrs Annie john
stOn. residing at $40 Folsom street. She was
very pale and sickly and was led into the
courtroom by Officer Bode when her name
was called. She was handed q glass of
water twice by Judge Trout while she was
on the witness-stand. She told the same
story as the other witnesses who testified to
seeing the shooting of Officer Grant and the
subsequent flight of the man. She was sit

was sick, and her attention was attracted by
the words, Come along" "Come aloug,"
