THE JUSTICES COURTS.
A Case Involving Passengers' Rights q
Electric Cars-Ninor Matters.

Case Involving Passengers Rights on
Electric Cars-Xinor Matters.
The principal ease before Justice Sea-
man yesterday was that of the People
vs. John r. Hough for assault, J. W.
Smith being the complaining witness.
The case grew out of che election of Mr..
Smith from Second-street electric car
on June Sd by the defendant, also the
conductor of the car. II seems that Mr..
Smith had come up on an electric car
and had received a transfer to the cleo
tric car going east on Second street. He
got upon this latter car, and, presenting
his transfer, asked for another transfer
up Wolfskih avenue to the Southern Pa
cific depot. The conductor stated that
he could not issue transfer upon pre-
vious one. Mr.. Smith replied, VERY
well, and said he would ride to Wolf
skill avenue and second street. The
conductor then looked at the transfer
and stated that it mad expired about 20
minutes, and ii Mr.. Smith desired to
ride he would have to pay his fare. This,
Mr.. Smith declined to do, whereupon
the conductor proceeded to eject him
from the car.
At the hearing yesterday the above
facts were ELECTED from the witnesses
for both sides, but the main issue was
upon whether or not the car had been
stopped still when the complaining wit
ness was put off, and whether the de-
fendant had choked him and used more
force than was necessary.
The various witnesses testified exactly
at variance with each other. Those for
the prosecution were positive that the
car was moving, while the defense
thought the opposite.
The following witnesses were exam
ined for the prosecution: J. W. Smith,
Louis Pepper, George Bradley Mcclellan
and William NJ. Bailey; and for the de-
Tense, J. r. Hough, F. W. Perry, John
Liffman. Albert P. Hseffner and r. W,
Alven.
Justice Seaman, upon motion of the
defendants attorney, J. d. Pope, con-
tinued the case until June 14th, at 8
a. m. for argument.
The outcome of the case will be
watched with interest, as civil suit for
damages is likely to follow.

GEN. WADE HAMPTON.
RICHARDS AssAILANT.

Antonio Arguflsr Held to Answer
Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon Justice Austin 8
court was crowded with an audience
anxious to hear the evidence in the case
of The People We. Antonio Arguilar,
charged with an assault to murder.
The prisoner being asked if he had
counsel, replied that Attorney Walter
Ferral had been secured to conduct his
defense. Mr.. Ferral announced that he
was ready to proceed, and at 2 O'Clock
the examination of witnesses began. DIR.
Brown said he found Richards suffering
from four gunshot wounds, only one OF
which he considered dangerous.
Sergeant Morton said he heard the
shots, went hurriedly to the place they
came from, and was met by the defend
ant who gave him his pistol, and sur
rendering himself said, 81 did the shoot
ing. He tried to kill me-" Made no
search of the wounded man, and did
not know whether he had q pistol at
the time of firing or when it ceased.
Did not know how the trouble began or
who commenced it.
j. w. Eagan said the shots were fred
in rapid succession. He took charge of
Richards when the firing stopped, but
made no search for any pistol. Rich
ards might have had a pistol when the
trouble began, but witness did not see
any nor did he know who commenced
the fight.
Three other witnesses testified to the
same state of facts, and the prosecution
rested.
The witnesses we're sharply cross
examined by Lawyer Ferral, and when
the prosecution rested he informed the
court that he desired to introduce no
evidence for the defense, but would re-
serve it for the upper court.
Judge Austice then held the prisoner
to answer, with bail fixed at $4,000.
Aguilar is fortunate in having the seTv-
ices of Attorney Ferral, who enjoys the
reputation of beiug an experienced
criminal lawyer and a fine jury talker.
This win prove to be an interesting case
in the superior court.

The Southern Pacific Takes In the Rapid

Yesterday the Southern Pacific COM

THE WEARING oF RAILS.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat says
The latest practice in the economy of
rolling stock on railways is to turn the
cars at the end OF each trip. whereby q
large percentage of wear and tear is
saved Some years ago portion of the
Wabash railroad was laid with old Eng
lish iron rails and small part with
steel rails from the Carnegie mills 1t
became necessary after time to remove
some of the main line rails to another
part of the road, and il was observed
that after relaying them many gave out
Immediately, while others manifested
no signs of wear.
To determine the reason OF this appar-
emily unaccountable condition an inves-
tigstion was ordered, which showed that
the road from which the rails had been
removed was built in northwest south
east direction, and in relaying large
number had been turned end for end.
Those that had not been 80 placed ex-
hibited no additional loss by attrition,
while the turned rails succumbedr in
from 30 to 80 days. The conclusion ar
rived at was that the metal had become
polsrized from long use when first laid,
and that the fiber was broken up by the
traffic in the opposite direction.
1t was further proved that cast iron
wheels generally yielded twice the mile
age when the cars were turned at each
end of the journey than when they were
run backward and forward without re-
versing. Notwithstanding the value OF
this discovery, it was not universally
utilized, and it is only recently that the
American railroads have begun to recog-
nize its Importance.
GEN. WADE HAMPTON.
Gen. Wade Hampton, the federal in
spector of Pacific railways, passed
through the city yesterday to Santa
Monica, having passed Sunday at Coro-
| nado.
At the latter place he met Gen, Eli
Murray, who csmpaigned against him
during the late pleasantness, and the
two had pleasant reminiscent chat.
General Murray is known to have been
the youngest general ever in the service
of the United States, and General
Hampton is OF the opinion that he was
| also the youngest man who ever com
| manded a cavalry regiment. he being
made a colonel in that branch of the
service at the age of 10 years.

MILK AND MEAT INSPECTOR.
DR.. Hitchcock OF the board of health
addressed council urging the Importance
of appointing an animal, milk and meat
inspector to prevent the spread of an
thrax splenic fever from animals to
human beings. He said it is we'll es-
thblished that the disease exists in
dairies outside and inside the city limits.
The disease is eseily communicable to
man, and the doctor pointed to the case
of man who contracted it through
carbuncle in handling diseased meat.
He said number of other cases were
meat or milk of diseased animals. He
said the board of health did not want to
create any sensation, but the matter
inspector should be an adept in the use
of the microscope.
Mr.. Strohm said the Office of sealer of
weights and measures had mt much to do
and could attend to the meat inspection
too. Mr.. Nickel and DIR. Hitchcock

THE NEW ARTILLERY
GERMANY.
Field Guns Of Terribly Destructive
Power New Powder and Explosive
Shells

SO destructive in its effect is the new
German artillery that it is asserted, once
tie range were found, Il battery would
annihilate an entire division in very
short time, says the London Court Jour
nal. P1ima facie this seems rather to
border on the impossible, but when the
results of the experiments which were
recently made in the presence of the
emperor with the new weapons are
considered the task does not appear SO
impracticable after all. The first shot
fired in the course Of these experiments
was at a target placed fifty PAGES from
Il wood. The missile missed the tar
get, but plowed its way for 500 yards
through the wood. Shortly afte1waNi Il
! large area of the wood was discovered
to be on fire. This was due to the
shell being charged with certain kind
of powder, the composition of which
| is q secret known only to the German
government. The SplinterS from shells
burst by this powder and fired by the
new gun cover Il circle Of 800 feet.
This is a great Improvement on tie
limited area Of ground that was cover
ed by Splinters from shells fired by the
artillery weapon of twenty years ago
Then it was considered effective shoot
ing if splinters from shell were thrown
within a circuit of forty or fifty PAGES
and seven or eight men wounded; but
the new gun has a far greater dest1uc-
tive power than this. Another shell
fired at an enormous target construct
ed by the emperors order covered it
thousands Of holes.
The new German field gun might.
perhaps, be better described as an en-
larged rifle, for that is what it really is.
The ammunition, like rife cartridges,
consists of one piece only Ignition is
produced by ready fuse, and the four
kinds Of projectiles at present in use
i. e., shell, explosive shell, shrapnel, and
grapeshot- place to uniform pro-
jectile, an explosive shell possessing the
combined characteristics Of shell and
shrapnel. Thus the possibility of a gun
ner mistaking in the heat of battle one
prOjectile for another will be averted,
while the loading, aiming, and firing.
besides being qlicker-for the new arm
is loaded and fired in one-third Of the
time required in working the old gun,
and the effect and precision are almost
double-will be surer and unattended
with danger. The barrel of the new
gun is made Of cast steel, with a cali
Der Of eight centimeters, and the total
weight Of the gun, timber, and carriage

Captain Eugene Mays Experience with

preciaAe the truth of this observation
when / reflect upon the experience

lively, bat we felt pretty safe, as we
were behind high embankment which,
extended some distance above our
heads. Well, there wasn't anything to

the coming of bullet into the shade
Of that caisson. But while I was lying
there taking it easy I suddenly heard
a sharp 'sping' just behind my head.
1t was Enthusiastically the noise of IL
bullet hitting something Well, turn

10y George, there was a bullet imbedded
in the tire of the wheel just about an
inch from where my head had been
IL that tire had been a fraction less

Well" replied Captain May, fits a
long story and I had almost forgotten
it till I was reminded of it the other
day by old Jim Dabney. The way the
thing happened was this: Our section
had been fighting it alone in peach
orchard until the other members Of the
battery joined us, when we moved for
ward and had quite brisk engagement
with the enemy. Our ammunition ex-
pended and our men worn out, we halt
ed at a spot in the woods to rest and
replenish our ammunition.
THE fighting was going on all around
us and stray bullets were coming past
us every now and then. I don't be-

as was after that engagement. 1t was
absolutely necessary for me to take 4

tree plumb on the opposite side from
me at a point just behind my head.

me. The shock was tremendous. Great

that tree, looking sideways up and ex-

is slightly less than that Of the old artil-
lely weapon. Being lighter the mobility
Of the new gun will of course be con-
sderably increased. The Timber and
gun carriage are made of iron and iron
plates. The timber box is open behind
near the gun when in action. The adj
vantage of this innovation is that tho
projectiles can be served out from tho
Timber and ammunition wagon with
greater rapidity. Another important
feature is that the carriage is supplied
With 4 brake which counteracts the
recoil, the process Of leading and firing
being thus Simplitied.
