HELD TO ANSWER.
DR.. VOn Werthern and
Harry J. Gray.
Police Judge Joachimsen Defines
Their Crime as rlurder of the
Second Degree.

The preliminary examination Of Harry
j. Gray and Drs. Won Werthern and Dris-
coll was included in Judge Joachimsen's s
court yesterday afternoon. DR.. Won Wer-
thern and Gray were held to answer for
murder of second degree and their bonds
were fixed at So, 600 each.
In the case of DR.. Driscoll Attorney
Kierce asked that the finding of the court
be deferred until this morning, when he
would move TO have the case against his
client dismissed.
The only important witness examined
yesterday was DR.. Drscoll, who took the
stand in his own behalf. His testimony
was substantially the same as he gave at
the Coroner's inquest.
Drs. O'Brien and O'Connell, who made
the autopsy on the body of the murdered
girl, were also examined as to their find
ings Ia the case.
A motion by Attorney McPike to have
the case against Won Werthern dismissed
was denied. AL. of the attorneys agreed
to submit their cases without argument,
but the Judge said he would like to hear
something as to the degree of the crime and
that would enter largely into the matter of
fixing bonds.
The Prosecuting Attorney gave 1t as his
opinion that the defendants could not be
convicted of graver crime than man
slaughter but as Judge Conlan had set a
precedent in the West case he advised his
Honor to hold the defendants for murder
and let the jury before which they would
be tried determine the degree of the crime.
George A. Knight, in the interests Of
G ray, entered into long and vigorous
argument TO show that, assuming the evil
dence produced by the prosecution to be
true. the defendants could not be guilty of
murder, as no malice was shown. The
attorney said among other things that he
would give bOud to serve out Gray's sem
tence in case he Gray were convicted.
After the arguments had been concluded
the Judge defined the crime as murder in
the second degree and fixed the bond OF
Gray and Won Werthern at $12, 600 each.

1T WAS RATHER FUNNY.
Consignee Bailey's Goats Bother the
Customs Officers.

Consignee Bailey's Goats Bother the
Customs Officers.
Some merriment was caused in the Gus
tom-house yesterday on account Of two in
offensive William goats that had arrived
aboard the steamer Mariposa on the 2Sth
ut.
They were fine specimens of the Aneora
variety, and had been shipped from dis
tant Africa via Sydney. Australia. and
were consigned to C. p. Bailey Of San
Jose.
Free entry was duly made at the Gus
tom-honse under the provision of the tariff
act which allows free entry for animals for
breeding purposes. The permit was in
dorsed as usual: UNITED States Ap-
praiser: Examine at wharf and check
permit before delivery"
This was where the fun began. Some
person took the permit to the Oceanic d ock,
and in the absence of the customs officers
the goats were loaded on wagon and
carted away.
Inasmuch as the requirements OF the
law were entirely complied with in respect
TO free importation OF these animals for
breeding purposes everything would have
run smoothly but for the zeal of the United
States Examiner Of Merchandise p. w.
Lannon. who made long report about the
animals being taken away from The dock
without his check on the permit. The In
spector had been absent attending another
ship and was unable to guard the vessel.
Clerk FOSS saws some unknown parties
must nave gone with the goats when the
gatekeeper was taking some liquid re-
freshments."

something about the goats disclaimed all

One Of the purely Western features of
the Midwinter Fair will be an Arizona

sion to illustrate aboriginal life in the
Territory has been made by Frank S.
Dobs of Tucson. His idea is to illustrate
in such village the everyday life Of the
Indians of Arizona and of Mexico, and to
have them make arr0wheads, knives, pot
terry and baskets on The premises. The
plan includes the erection of Indian buts,
constructed by Indians and surrounded
by the immense cacti common in Arizona.

SHE BROUGHTCOAL
A Fine Cargo of 1t on
the VOlant.
Wreakage From the Spinney-Captain
Whitelaw Well Rewarded.
Waterfront News.

At Folsom.street wharf is the schooner
Volant, from Klikitat Bay, Alaska, with
as fine a cargo of domestic coal as ever
came into this port. The great beauty OF
the coal lies in its extreme freeness from
dust and dirt. In this respect it is supe-
rior to the output Of any of the mines OF
British Columbia or Seattle. Excellent
coal mines are said to exist in Alaska, and
only require the investment of little cap
ital to insure fortunes to those who venture
to develop them. Here is chance for in-
vestment
Captain Whitelaw will undoubtedly
make good thing out of the wreckage re-
covered from the ship j. S. Spinney, and
he deserves success. No one not expert
enced in the art of wreeking can conceive
the difficulties under which Captain White
law labored in claiming from the sea the
merchandise, iron and general cargo which
he has recovered through months OF hard
labor and persevering efforts. There have
been piled OIL the wharf at Howard No. 3
all manner of iron goods, barbed-wire
fencing, casks of rosin and lard and coils
of wire, which the wrecKer Samson re-
Gently unloaded there. The Samson has
gone north for another cargo.
Yesterday afternoon the freight boat
Frank Silva of the Davie ferry line broke
down while off Jackson-street wharf. The
Rosalie went to the rescue and tooK the
Silva in tow and docked her safely on this
side.
The ship America discharged 1850 tons of
coal In nine hours yesterday, breaking the
record for rapid discharging.
The steam schooner AlcaZar lost two of
her sails during the recent blow outside.
The Vigilant returned yesterday from
Port Hartford, where she went about two
weeks ago to tow the schooner San Pedro
to this port. The San Pedro filed with
water when out about five miles and lad
to be towed back TO port.
The schooner Pioneer, which cleared
day before yesterday ;for Santa Rosalia,
took down 157, 400 pounds OF flour and u
valuable domestic cargo.
Transhipments from the Orient for the
East are decreasing but local inland freight
from China and Japan is about the same
as during this same period of last year.
Michael Donohue, fireman on the
steamer Wellington, was injured by falling
into the vessels hold yesterday afternoon.
His scalp was badly cut.
Captain w. Z. Plummer has again taken
command of the steamer Yaquina, which
has bean running to San ia Cruz and neigh
boring ports while the Gipsy has been un-
dergoing an overhauling. The Gipsy is
again in commission, with Captain Jepsen
in command.
Another American ship. the Llewellyn
j. Morse. cleared yesterday for New York
with general cargo. Among it are 20, 7S9
sacks of barley. 800 barrels of oil, 600 cases
of canned fruits, 2900 cases of canned sal
mon, 800 barrels of wine and 240 600 pounds
of mustard seed The latter is one of the
largest single shipments of that comm0d-
ity ever made from this port.

knowledge of the can-eaters. and w. Ford
Thomas. the broker for Mr.. Bailey, is very
much worked up over it all and intends
giving the matter thorough overhauling.
The goats are only worth $780, accordin &
to the papers, and the duty upon them
would not be more than Sl2, or 90 per cent.
This is the second misfortune of this
kind that has befallen Mr. Bailey. Some
years ago a goat was shipped to him dur
ing his absence on trip To New York
The bill of lading was sent to New York,
but Mr.. BAILEY was not there 10 receive it,
The hill was then sent after him to Wis
consin, bnt failed to catch up with him
there. Finally it came back to this CITY
and fell into the hands Of the consignee.
Meanwhile the goat had eaten all the
gunny sacks within reach, and then there
was bill against Mr.. Bailey for 70 cents
a day for storage.

EXPORTING
While His Children Were Deprived
ofthe Necessities of Life.

"New'p" Stevenson is farmer of Teut onic
build who has for many years been a resident
OF Monroe township. Gifted with goodly
portion of loquacity, without any education
to back it, he has always had hankering
for exhorting, and whenever an opportunity
afforded gave vent to his faucied talent.
His wife and three children never knew
what living free from want was and barely
eked out a miserable existence while the
husband and father courted day dreams.
About year since, they removed to Da-
mascus township apd shortly after the wife
died. She was inferred by the township and
Newt" after the funeral, took the children
aud migrated to Flatrock, Seneca Co., where
he secured call on small circuit. He held
the position but short time, and the child
rem were again subjected to great want. A
farmer near that place took one to raise,
while the other two were pIaced in the Flat
rock Evangelical Children's Home.
AS they rightfully belong to Henry county,
on notification of their whereabouts and
condition, our infirmary directors went to
Flatrock Monday but as one of the children
was very sickly, they were not brought to
the poor farm. The directors, instead, made
arrangements to pay their board at the
Home for an indefinite time.
Where the father is, is not known, he hav-
ing quit the country fter the children were
taken in the Home.

Mrs. Snyder were taken wholly by surprise
and knew nothing!of the planning of the
children until they, piled in upon them
Monday morning, at theiriEesidence north
OF town, on the Adrian pike. They brought
their own proyender, which furnished
enough for the crowd and lots to spare, The
day was pleasantly spent and when the time
of departure came all felt it was good to
have been there. Mother Shasteen AID
Mother Myers were present, the former be-
ing in her S0th year and the latter SO years
old. Also Fred. Spangler, close to 80 ears.
In the assembly there were nine children
of MIR. Snyders and eight grand child
rem. and hosts of relatives and
friends. Mr.. S. has been resident of
this county since he was five years old,
which makes him one of our Oldest citizens.
He was the recipient of an easy chair in
remembrance of the occasion. m

TWELVE COED TREES.
They are Sold by a Goshen Man
for $4,000.
None Like Them on Earth.

GOSHEN, IND, Jan. 10.-The Lesh
Sanders d Egbert company, hardwood
lumber dealers, have closed deal by
which they come in possession of the
finest lot of walnut trees in existence.
The trees are just 20 in number, and
were grown on II acres of ground.
They were purchased of J. n. Thomp-
son, a bachelor farmer in La Grange
county, and the purchase price was
S4 800, or $245 tree. The transaction
is not only remarkable for the heavy
price paid, but for the size and quality
of the timber, which Hon. J. H. Lesh
says cannot be equaled in the United
States. The existence of the timber
may be attributed t. the popularity of
MIR. Thompson, which amounts to
almost an eccentricity when the fact is
considered that he has watched over
and cultivated the trees as one would
an orchard, and has refused MANY
tempting offers from lumber dealers in
years past. The purchasers began me-
gotiations for the timber about five
years ago, but the transactions could
never be brought to close until last
FRIDAY. One hundred teams have
been engaged to move the precious
wood to the Goshen yards, and by Sat-
urday evening it will have arrived.
There it will be prepared for market,
the butt cuts, saplings and limbs will
be converted into lumber at the home
mills, and sold to furniture manufact-
urers. but the choice cuts will be hewn
and shaped for export in the log, 49,
0oO feet going each to London, Ham.
burg and Paris. The average cost of
the timber to the Lesh company is
about $50 per Thousand feet, laid down
