half dozen other visitors. all of whom
were allowed the use of the outside tele-
scopes and the colored glasses. and to
whom Professor Davidson explained the
phenomenon shown projected on the
white screen.
1t is known to all that there are three
kinds OF eel ipses of the sun-total, annular
and partial-the first where the dark dsck
of the moon entirely covers the sun. the
second where the disck of the moon lis u OF
large enough to cover the sun entirely. but
leaves luminous ring visible around its
own body, and the last where only por-
ton of the suns disck is covered. Yester-
days eclipse was annular at points in the
Pacific. but at San Francisco and in Cali
fornia 1t was partial.
In former days observations of this kind
were useful in determining lorgitudes, as
we'll as settling the positions of the sun
and moon, but scientists have worked ont
other and better methods, and astronomi-
cal occurrences of this kind are watched
mostly out of habit and love of observa-
tion.
The atmosphere during the period of
observation was clear but very unsteady.

BERKELEY,

The Institute for the Deaf and Dumb and
Blind is considering whether or no it shall
have special exhibit at the Midwinter
Fair. At a recent meeting of the teachers
institute the matter was quite fully dis
cussed. President Wilkinson thought a
living exhibit might be best. Mr.. Frank
thought an exhibit such as the institute
sent to San j ose in 1885 would be Of inter-
est. while C. L. Wilkinson described the
exhibit Of the Illinois Blind Institution at
the Chicago Fair, which was very interest
ing and instructive. Mr.. Grady suggested
having a record of the achievements of
graduates of the institute. 1t was finally
voted that each teacher make out list of
what he or she would consider the most
desirable exhibit from the school, giving
his ind vidual idea Of its character and the
method of carrying it out, these lists to be
handed in at the next meeting of the
teachers. when the best plan will be
adopted.

children had pieces and as many of the
adults as could find them. There was lots
of fun, toe, in the blackeuirg process
But the excitement was naturally at its
climax as the dark shadow crept slowly UP
the disk of the sun.
The local scient lists were In their glory,
and the Davidson Observatory and other
haunts of star-gaZers were crowded with
specialists. Interesting observations were
taken, thrown on great screen and scien-
tifcally recorded.
One of the most interesting features.
from popular point of view, secured
from these scientific observations was the
corrugated edge of the moon. The ap-
parent excrescences and depressious were
and valleys Of the earth planet. They are
always present, of course, but it is only
when very strong light is thrown behind
them, as on this occasion of their passing
before the suns radiant face, that they
become sufficiently strongly emphasized to
be thrown in shadow on a screen.

showing where the woman had dragged
herself along in her attempt to reach the
street.
The knife with which the wounds were
inflicted is an ordinary bone-handled
pocket claspknife with a blade about
three inches in length. The blade was
coated with dirt and tobacco and was not
very sharp. The nature of the wounds
and the condition of the weapon show
with what force the instrument must have
been driven to inflict the terrible stabs and
gashes found on the body.
John Dillon, brother-in-law of the
murdered woman, spoke very bitterly of
the man accused of the crime. MRS.
Collins" he said, was a hard-workIng
woman and worked night and day to sup
port herself and children. Collins has

money she had made by taking in washing
or doing any other kind of work that would
help her to get food for her children.
Since he got out of jail he has repeatedly
threa tened to take her life. She filed a
suit for divorce about six months ago, but
had no money to carry on the necessary
legal proceedings"
Secretary HOlbrook removed the two
children to the Youths Directory.
DR.. O'Connell concluded the autopsy on
the body of Mrs. Collins last night. He
found thirty-fve wounds altogether. Six
or seven were superficial, but all the others
penetrated deeply.
The wound that killed her was an In
cised penetrating wound four inches in
extent in the posterior cervical region, in a
line drawn between the tip of the lobe Of
the right ear transversely across to the tip
ter inches below he external occipltal pro-
tuberance. The wound began half an inch
to the right of the median line.
In this wound were severed several I'M
pOrtant muscles, the vertebral and external
carotid arteries, the internal jugular vein
and the pneumogastric nerve.
There was only one wound in the breast,
which slightly touched the right lung.
The unfortunate woman had struggled
desperately for her life and had caught the
knife in both her hands. Her fingers were
badly cut and her wedding ring was nearlv
severed.
DR.. O'Connell said that in all the autop-
sizes he had made none revealed such a
horrible butchery.

FOUNTAINS OF THE MOON.

FOUNTAINS OF THE MOON

All San Francisco kept one eye open for
the partial eclipse of the sun yesterday.
The other eye was closed to allow its twin
optic better peek through bit Of Sun oked
glass at the interesting phenomenon.
The event was billed for the morning.
roughly speaking, between 1890 A. NJ. and
p. NJ. 1t came off strictly on schedule
time, disappointing no one who was OIL
the lookout. The weather forecast man
had ingeniously heightened anticipation by
predicting Occasional raiD." but his rain
didn't fall nor did the skies become over
cast during the celestial performance, SO
that it was all right anyway.
Smoked glass was at a premium. The
streets were full of it, but every bit was

while engaged in cleaning the switch at
Folsom and Second streets, saw man run
up the steps of the kindergarten building
and moment later heard cries OF murder.
LII few moments the same man appeared
at the head of the stairs, ran down the
steps and up Second street toward Har-
rison. When about the middle Of the block
he turned back and ran down Second
street toward Market, disappearing from
view.
The cartrack sweeper then saw Mrs.
Collins stagger down the stairs and sink
cred with blood and had knife in her
hand which was also covered with blood.
When Kelly came to her assistance she
handed him the knife and said:
HE has killed me. My husband did It,.
He did it with that knife. My God! am
dying"
Several passers-by had by this time col
lected on the edge of the sidewalk. and
one of them ran over to Kohler & Froh-
ling's establishment across the street and
telephoned for the patrol wagon. The
unfortunate woman was by this time I'M
conscious. and when the wagon arrived
she was taken at once to the Receiving
Hospital. There she revived sufficiently
to ask for priest, but relapsed again into
Inconsistencies and died a few minutes
later. 1t was found that no less than
thirty-fve wounds had been inflicted on
the woman's head and body. Three deep
gashes in the back of the neck had almost
severed the head from the body, and sew
eral others in the face and breast would
no doubt have proved fatal. Several
severe bruises and finger marks on the face
and neck showed where the murderer b ad

THE NEW TREASURER.

Mr. James A. Fleming is now formally installed in the office of territorial treasurer, worthy successor to Col. Wm. Christy. We have previously al- luded to the excellent judgment dis played by Governor Hughes in naming Mr. Fleming for this place. It was a recognition ot the fact that the office is too important to permit political con- alterations to be taken. The highest financial business talent should be em- ployed in it's management. The of- fiCial should also be person of great personal integrity. There is no doubt that MT. Fleming possesses both of these essential qualifications in the highest degree and therefore it may be confidently expected that the treasury of Arizona will be managed just as Mir. Fleming will manage the Phoenix Ma tional bank.
 The people of Arizora have great reason for self.congratulation in having had two successive treasurers of the caliber of Mr. Fleming and bis prede- cessor.

SHlRKlNG 4 DUTY.

It has become apparent within the two days that have elapsed since the coUstitutionality of the exclusion act Sas decided upon that the administra- ton was hostile to il. As much was suspected when it's operation was sus- suspended by MT. Cleveland to whom e. he time there was generously i'm. Iated no other motive, than an honest desire tD await an opinion as 10 it's con- si'utionalisy and thus avoid embarras- siUs complications.
 The disappointment of the govern rent since last Monday afternoon has bsen ill concealed and 6 confidential adviser of Mr. Cleveland has gone so far as to charge that the law was po- l;ical expedient, allowing an inference L. be drawn that it is a relic of the pre- yims administration, and should there fore be abrogatcd along with the Me- kinley act the financial policy, the Hawaiian annexation theory and other ideas promulgated between 1888 and 1893.
 The disposition of the government to disregard the law has not been mani- iested in reasonable or constitutional o2j cions to it, which, therefore can hOy be met. So the most serious quez- ton now is not whether the Chinese must or ought to go, but whether Mir. Cleveland will neglect to enforce an act which, whether right or wrong, is a law concerning whose constltU Utionality there is no dispute.
 The only excuse so far offered for de- Iay is an absence of necessary funds to put the law in operation. It is admit ted that there is at least $16,OOO which though an insignificant sum com pared ylh he SC, 900, ,00) estimated to be re- Qnired for carrying out the law, is still cnough to begin with.

COL. NM. CHRiSTY.

When Col. Christy surrendered the of- flee of territorial treasurer Tuesday night one of the most valuable officers in the territory became a private citizen. The manner in which he conducted himself in that responsible position has been gratifying to the public in general and a cause of pride to Republicans in par ticular.
 The duties during Col. Christy's term were more than usually weighty and re- sponsible. The Funding act was origin ated, passed by congress and applied within that time and in order that the highest possible advantage might be derived from it it was necessary that the Loan commission should be com. posed of gentlemen of m ore than average ability. It was particularly re. quisite that the treasurer should be eminently qualified. Col. Christy's oc- cupstion of the office and the applica- ton of the funding act formed happy conjunction. His wide acquaintance with financial affairs in the east was contributory to the placing of the bonds at the most favorable ter ms to the terri. tory.
 Concerning the other natural busi- ness of the office of the territorial treasurer it would be superfuous to say that It has been most ably and honestly performed.
