ALLEN TAYLOR FREE
His sentence COMMITTED by Governor
Markham Yesterday.

his sentence COfnlnuted by Governor
Markham Yesterday.
Governor Markham yesterday com
muted the sentence of Allen G, TAYLOR
who was tried and convicted on charge
of embezzlement and sentenced in 1889 to
ten years Imprisonment, to six years
from the date of sentence.
1t was shown that when intoxicated he
traded horse and buggy, which he had
borrowed, for a horse and cart: that be-
fore he was arrested he had made every
effort to trade back, offering more than
he received to boot, and was still trying
TO do so when arrested; that his character
had always previously been good, and
that Director Devlin, to whom his case
was referred, ascertained all these facts
and all the directors recommend his par
don.
Taylor, by his good behavior, has be-
come entitled to credits sufficient to make
up the difference in time, and the COM
mutation of his sentence makes him
free man.
The whole matter is the outcome of
drunken spree, in which Taylor did not
realize what he was doing until too late
and he was. unfortunately for himself,
induced to plead guilty by the promise
that he would be let Off with a light SEN
tence, instead of which he got ten years.
and by the perfidy of a supposed friend
he lost at one blow his liberty and his
wife and children.
1t is stated that his father-in-law offered
to procure his pardon if he would leave
the State.
The Governor, however, has made his
IDENTIFY thinks that he was harshly dealt
with.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.
Comparative Rates of Railroad Wages
Here and East.
Some Facts and Figures Presented tC
the State Board of EquaIiza-
tion Yesterday.

The State Board of Equalization lis
tened to further statements of railroad
companies yesterday.
A. w. Foster, President Of the San
Francisco and North Pacific Railroad,
and Thomas Mellerish, representing the
company, appeared before the board and
made very clear and logical statement
of the facts which they wished to present
for its consideration.
Mr.. Mellerish took the ground that the
wages paid to employees on this coast
were far in excess of those paid on East
ern roads; that the cost of material for
building and operating the latter was
much greater here, and that the cost of
fuel was lar in excess of that on the roads
of the East.
He also stated that although the ferry
to 1lburon was absolutely necessary to the
operation of the road, yet on account of
It's length about nine niles it was very
expensive to run, and receipts from in
dlvldual passengers who did not also
have railroad tickets was very light.
lie presented large array of facts and
hgures, which sCbstantiated his state
ments, and also some tables of compara-
tive population to the square mile as a
factor to railroad support, comparative
wages here and at the East and operating
expenses.

WASHBURN'S CIRCUS
1t Is Highly spoken or by the Eastern

Referring to the performance of Wash

evening-the Newport, r. l., Observer
says: There is one thing to be said about
Washburn's circus that exhibited here
yesterday, and that is there were no out
side takirs to do the people out of odd
dimes and quarters. People do not like
to be pestered with anything else than a
circus at such times, and for the reason
stated Washburn is entitled 10 the good
will of every community. The COWBOYS
attracted much attention and the perform
ance was excellent. The trapeze work of
the Vernon brothers was a bright, partic-
lar feature of the performance, while the
performance of the Mendoza sisters on
the trapeze was wonderful for people of
their sex. The Wild West show received
loud applause. as did the work of Lowelli,
