Won WERTHERN'S BAIL.
He Wants 1t Reduced to Five Thou
sand Dollars.

Superior Judge Seawell heard the appli-
cation of DR.. Joseph Won Werthern yes
terday for reduction of his bail. DR..
Won Werthern is held, together with DR..
Driscoll, for murder in the second degree
through the death of Clara Matthews from
a criminal operation.
Attorney McPike represented the de-
fendant and stated to the court that his
client had been held by Judge Joachimsen
OF Police Court 3 in the sum of $4,000.
His fellow-prisoner. Driscoil, was liber-
ated on $4,000 bail. McPike had to ask
the court to reduce Won Werthern's ball TO
q like amount, $4,000.
"My client is not well known in San
Francisco" he said. He is a native of
New Orleans, aud is a graduate in medi-
cine. He completed his studies at the
State University and has perfected his
knowledge Of drugs at a drugstore in this
city. But he is unable to raise the $4,000
bail. II your Honor. however, would con-
sent to fix his bail at $1,000 Drs. Hoffman
and Higgins have consented to go on his
bonds for that amount"
Assistant District Attorney Hinkle said
in reply that he thought $4,000 was a
small enough bail in charge of murder
in the second degree. 1t all depended on
the evidence against the defendant.
Judge Seawell thought so too and too k
the matter under advisement, Mr.. Hinkle

testimony in the case for the courts

Judge Hebbard subsequently stated that
az the conference held in chambers 1t was
agreed by all the parties present that the
attachments and execution proceedings
now pending should be transferred to his
court, that there might be no confusion or
unnecessary delay. 1t was also stipulated
oy the parties that all the assets shall be
turned over to the receiver except about
$1,000 money. or a sum sufficiently large to
cover the various liens, attachments, etc.
these moneys are to be deposited in bank
under control of the court and held as a
special fund for settlement of the various
claims referred to.
he said il was feared by some of the
attorneys that if this money were placed in
the hands of the receiver, instead of
being segregated, il might be placed with
the funds OF the banks assets should the
Supreme Court make such decision as
shall do away with the receiver.

MORE FREE RIDES.
A New Scheme AflOat in

A DESPERATE PROPOSITION
The Southern Pacific May Offer Creek
Route Patrons Free Street.
car Transportation.

Those who are engaged in engineering
the fight of the Southern Pacific to again
secure undisputed control of the travel
across the bay have, it is said. hit upon an
other plan whereby they hope to deal the
opposition line an effective blow.
The plan is to issue streetcar ticsets free
to all passengers coming over on the creek
line of that company that is, each passen-
ger who pays cents for his or her ride
over on the boat will be presented with
ticket on the streetcar lines operated by the
same company.
1t will be remembered that few days
ago the runners for the Southern Pacific
began openly to sell single tickets at 2Es
cents each, or 5 cents for the round trip.
On each of these r0und-trip tickets the
runner made profit of 1 cent, he buying
them in packages of 100, for which he paid
So. The new plan which is under discus
sion will necessarily involve the stoppage
of this method of selling, but will in fact
cause no greater expense (or loss) to the
railroad company.
Streetcar tickets in large quantities
would probably not cost over 2 cents
apiece at the outside figure, and this would
leave cents to the company as its pay for
the transportation of each passenger where

method OF doing business.
J. P. MeehaD, general agent of the Pull
man car line for the Pacific Coast, is in
Chicago. and will be away several weeks.
ALI roads running from Kansas City to
Chicago have placed in effect a rate of S5
from the former city, or $40 for the round
trip. This will reduce the present second
class rate from this city to Chicago to S45.
The Burlington has also announced the
S65 so round-trip rate from Missouri River
points TO San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Cotton. San Bernardino and San Diego,
tickets good until April 80, 1893, in this
State and fifteen days after date in
the territory outside of California. Stop
over privileges will be allowed within the
transit limits outside of the State and
within the final limit of California. The
Northern Pacific has practically the same
rate. BY the new arrangement passengers
over many of the roads will be permitted
to return over another route at reduced
rate For instance, travellers coming in
via the Santa Fe can go back by way OF
Portland by paying SIS for transportation
from this city to that place, the ticket then
being good back tn the Missouri River
over the Union Pacific.

EUGENE r. CARRIER
The Presiding Judge Will
Resign.
INTENDS TO PRACTICE LAW.
An Announcement From the Bench
That Caused No Little Aston
ishment in Court.

Presiding Judge Eugene r. CARRIER of
the Superior Court let fall a thunderbolt
among an inoffensi sive crowd of attorneys
that had assembled in his courtroom yes
terday morning.
He had just taken his seat on the bench
when be made the following announce
ment: 81 wish to say to those gentlemen
of the bar who have any unfinished busi-
ness to transact in this court that should
esteem it favor if they would bring their
matters to a conclusion as speedily as
possible. l propose to retire from the
bench on the first of next MONTH"
There was dead silence in the courtroom
for 10 momeDt, and then the business of the
day was resumed as usual. But when the
days calendar had been gone through and
the Judge had retired into his private
room, there was much Gathering of legal
tongues over the unexpected announce
ment The news quickly spread through
the hall, and everybody took a part in the
discussion.
The most important point OF conjecture
seemed to be as to Judge Garber's sue
cessor. who will. of course. be appointed
by Governor Markham. One well-knOwn
attorney said afterward: ut is a strange
thing. but during the next half-hour after
Judge CARRIER announced his resignation
no fewer than four honest Republican at
torneys confded to me that they could
have the position for the asking, but they
really did not want il.
This them was too problematical for q
prolonged discussion, and then many and
varied reasons were given for the immedi-
ate cause of Judge Garber's so suddenly
retiring fourteen months before his time
was up.

third legal luminary had to say that it
was well.known fact that Judge Gar Der
had been offered lucrative position as
one of the legal advisers of the Southern
Pacific Company.
A CALL reporter found the Judge sit
ting quietly in his chambers, surrounded
by two or three leading lights of the legal
profession. In reply to questions on the
subject he replied:
None OF these rnmors is true concern
ing my many lucrative appointments. L

erably amused tnereat. But am not 60

been entrusted to me to attend to, and
expect in little while to do very well.
ANYWAY, | intend to try.
'T have not yet written my letter Of
resignat but, as | stated. it will prob
ably go into effect by November l."
The conversation then drifted on to
other topics, the closing remark being
made by one of the JUDGES friends.
Speaking of the many applicants there
would be for the position, he said, Eyes,
l guess that for the next week or two the
rail will be hot between here and Sscra-
mento."
1t now remains for Governor Markham
to appoint a successor. but the appoint
ment will probably not be made for some
weeks. A number of names have already
been suggested. among which are ex-
Judge Van Reynegon, John Lord Love.
ex-Attorney- General and Police Judge;
ex-District Attorney Page. Police Judges
c. A. Low and Campbell, and Attorney
j. n. E. Wilson.
1t is probable that the Bar Association
will meet shortly and. as in the case Of
Judge C. w. Slack. recommend to Governor
Markham some particular candidate.

FRIENDLY VISITING.
An Idea New to Charitable Work in
San Francisco.

An Idea New to Charitable Work in
San Francisco.
At weekly meeting of the Associated
Charities yesterday afternoon an idea new
to San Francisco in the way of charitable
work was enthu siastically discussed.
The plan is called friendly visiting"
and has already been found to work very
successfully in the East. The visitors pay
friendly visits to the poor, but they are
forbidden to give money except in cases of
extreme, urgency me idea is to form
personal friendships with the needy and
help them with advice and sympathy to
help themse selves.
number of the ladies of the board
banded themselves into committee. each
taking one or two cases as the registrar,
Mrs. Flint. read over list of names, re-
marking briefly how this woman was hard
working but shiftless, that boy sick and
lonely. A little tact and friendly council
might teach, she remarked. the former to
appreciate the blessing OF soap and water
and tighten some of the latter's weary
hours.
The ladies are just of the same opinion,
and, though some of them seemed to shrink
a little from what might be misconstrued
into an intrusion into humble homes. they
all decided that the friendly visiting Is an
excellent idea. deserving of an earnest
trial.
No proposition respecting cooperation
with the charitable work of the Salvation
Army was LAID before the board yesterday,
as Captain McFee wishes to settle, first,
what work can be done for the city by the
unemployed before proposing any formal
plans to the various charitable organ iZa-
tions.
The Associated Charities however,
are pursuing their own work, and on the
1st OF November next will open their
wOoGyard.
The ladies' of the board state that there
is great need for cast-off clothing, partic-
ularly that of men. Any donations of
clothing will be gratefully acknowledged
by the Associated Charities.

THE DREAM OF AN ENTHUSIAST.

IIo Purposes to Trnvoi from Cape Horn
to Cupo Town by Hail.
It adds something to. zest OF lifc-if
one has n healthy. active ~fancy--to re-
fleet that there are people now living
who may travc by continuous rail from
Cape Horn to the Cape OF Good Hope,
says the Review of Reviews. The plan
of n ''pan-American" railway to connect
the South American system, through
Central America, with The systems of
Mexico md the United States is already
we'll advanced.
There arc toobe roads from the Cana
dian Pacific away up to the Peace River
n Mackenzie valleys, md il Is not
hard to believe that these may ultimate
ly be extended across the Rockies to the
Ukon valley in Alaska and continued
finally to the narrow and shallow Dchr-
ing straits, across which n connection
would be made with the Siberian road.
Continuous rail travel from Siberin To
Constantinople will soon have become
IN accomplished fact, md the link from
Constantinoplc to Egypt may be cx.
pccted quite confidently.
At the present rate Of development in
Africa the construction of n road from
Egypt to the cape ought to be realized
within twenty-five years. The channel
tunnel will, of course, have been built
and electricity or some still more power
full motive force will have superseded
steam, so that the Californians and
Puget sound denizens would naturally
go to London by fast Alaskan and 81
bcrian express. II they chose they
might return by steamship, making the
passage In two df three days from the
west coast of ireland 10 Labrador or
Halifax. In view Of all that has been
done in the last twenty-five years such
further development of travelling facil-
itics is easily within the realm of sober
prediction.
