Proceedings ut the Meeting of the
state Commission.
SAN FRANCISCO, March IA meeting
of the members of the State Worlds Fair
Commission was held this morning. the
proceedings beginning at 10 o'clock.
Most of the business of the morning
was done while the board was sitting in
executive session.
The resignation of Thomas II. Thomp-
son, Secretary and General Manager.
which was handed in about two weeks
ago, was finally acted upon and formally
accepted.
Captain Thompson's two successors,
DIR. N. j. Bird and C. NJ. Wells. were
then declared in Office, the duties per-
formed by the ex-oflicial having been
divided. Under the new arrangement
DIR. Bird becomes General Manager.
while Mr.. Wells assumes the position of
Secretary.
The question of the salary of the two
new appointees was also formally settled
at the meeting this morning. Captain
Thompson, the ex-Secretary and Gem
eral Manager, was paid salary of $500
lllOllIs NhIAC 4htSSIS+ DlTu ana w ellis
have for some months past been drawing
$50 each; DIR. Bird as manager of the
horticultural department and Mr.. Wells
as the head of that devoted to horticult-
ure.
They are still to perform the same
duties and draw the same salary therefor,
and it was ordered this morning that each
be paid $50 month additional for the
further services he is to perform. The
result will be saving of $500 month
out of the $500 formerly allowed to Cap
tain Thompson.
The application of Mrs. Sarah B.
Cooper for assistance in getting up an
exhibition of California kindergarten
work, was taken up and considered,
with the result that it was decided to al
low the lady $500.

Damaging Evidence Against a Mime
sofa State Official.
ST. PAUL, March l5.-The Joint Legis-
lative Committee investigating the coal
combine created a sensation by Selling
the books of John J. Rhodes, Manager of
the Minnesota Bureau Of Coal Statistics.
They were guarded at the State Capitol
petition to the Legislature for their re-
turn, claiming they pertained only to his
personal affairs. In the House the petit
ton was referred to the special commit
tee having the investigation i'll charge
without discussion.
In the Senate the matter was antago-
nlzed, apparently under misapprehen-
sion, for all opposition was withdrawn
after fiery speech by DonneIly. He
said the committee had not yet had time
to examine the books thoroughly, but
hurried look into few of them revealed
the existence OF a combine the like of
which had not heretofore been known.
1t set the prices, and dealers venturing to
deviate hairsbreadth were shut off from
all source OF supply. the books showed
that although Rhodes declared he knew
OF no such thing as coal com bine, he
had received 81 900 as fees from those de-
pending on the combine, and letters
showed that dealers who ventured to cut
rates even per cent. per ton had been
shut off from all supplies of coal.
More sensational features are promised.

MURDER OF McwHIRTER.
Policy Said to Be Ready to Turn Stnue'
Evidence.

Policy Said to Be Ready to Turn states
Evidence.
FRESNO, March 15.-There are but few
new developments in the matter of Rich
ard Heath's arrest. Policy, the man in
dlcted for the same crime, is still kept in
solitary confinement and none are per-
United to communicate with him. Policy
was yesterday before the Grand Jury as
witness and this fact gave rise to the
rumor that he had made confession
and was ready to turn States evidence,
but this is to-day found to be incorrect.
However, it is learned that his evidence
before the Grand Jury was of a sensa-
tional character. An indictment was
found for third man, designated as
John Doe. 1t is the belief of some that
this is purely imaginary person and no
particular one is in view. but the officers
say they can lay hands on this man and
will do so at the proper time.
The belief is general herein fact, it is
almost universal-that Heath is the man
who killed McWhirter, and that no mis-
take has been made in his arrest. MANY
small incidents are coming to remem-
and tending to fix upon Heath as the
guilty man. Heath has lived here off and.
on for many years, and is well known,
but never before has any effort been made
to collect in systematic order the events
of his life. Now since this is being done
it is seen he has had checkered career
and has always been regarded as danger
GUS when drinking. In November, 1884,
he borrowed revolver of Sol Wollenger,
saying he was going to kill bad man,
and walked into the saloon of Duquesne
and said. $50 you think 1 am not blood
ed, do your" and leveled pistol at Du-
quesne, who sprang to his feet and struck
Heath's arm as the weapon was dis
charged. The ball struck Heath instead
of his intended victim. intiicting a wound
in the breast. Two years ago Heath again
shot himself at the Grand Central Hotel
here, attempting suicide.

Combination of Central American

PANAMA, March 15.-Advices from
Monaqua state that Barrios has sent agents
to President Sacasa of Nicaragua and
General Bonilla, leader of the revolu-
tionary movement in Honduras, propos-
ing a triple alliance against Salvador.
The parties to the agreement will be
Guatemala, Nicaragua and the Liberals of
Honduras, From Tegucigalpa word is
received of a bloody battle near Comay-
aqua, where Vasquez is strongly in
trenched. The leader of the Government
forces maintains his position.
A telegram from San Bernardino states
that ex-President Bogran's followers are
displeased at the course pursued by Vas
quez. They believe he is endeavoring to
play into the hands of Salvador. They
have repudiated him again and pro-
claimed Leiva President. Word has
been received that a strong Costa Rican
force is marching from Ganacosta toward
the Nicaraguan frontier.

upward movement. These premises were
correct, but the bulls did not calculate the
insider would sell out on them.
To account for weakness of the stock
it was limited an application would be
made to enjoin the payment of the divi-
dend on common stock. The board
room story, and probably the true one.
is, some time ago pool of 100, 600 shares
of stock was made up, the syndicate
comprising some of the richest men in
the street. The management of the pool,
so the story goes, was placed in the hands
of Deacon White. Everything went
swimmingly for a time,
The promised dividends were declared
and the stock advanced. Monday the
pool began to suspect there was leak
somewhere, and certain members of the
syndicate demanded an immediate disso-
luton of the compact. They said the in
slider had sold $4,000 shares of stock since
Monday morning, and under the circum-
stances they did not care to be connected
with the pool any longer. To add to their
discontinue the whisky directors passed
their dividends and New England broke
badly on stories OF the impending re-
ownership.
The street is pretty well disguised with
this latest phase Of the sugar deal.
In view of the bad break in the stock
and the report of the treachery in the
sugar pool, President Havemeyer's re-
marks on the situation are particularly
interesting. He says: II know sugar
stock is being largely bought for invest
ment. According to the statement of the
officers of the company, which statement
can be verified by any one who desires TO
do SO, the company, after paying divi-
dends on April lst, will have money
enough in its treasury from its surplus
earnings prior 10 the beginning of this
year to pay per cent. on preferred
stock and per cent. on common stock
for the year 1893. All the earnings for the
year will belong to the holders of COM
mon stock. 1t can also be stated that all
our bonds are in the treasury"

PARIS, March 15.- There was a small
attendance to-day at the trial OF Charles
De Lesseps and his fellow-defendants
The public interest appeared to have
waned with the close of the testimony.
Counsel resumed their addresses. Legasse
contended the Government had shrunk
from proceedings against all the offenders
concerned in the case, and argued We
hemently that the scandal would not
cease until the whole truth was revealed.
Rousselle spoke in a similar tone. The
Advocate-G eneral delivered an earnest
address in behalf of the prosecution. He
maintained the Government had done the
best it could to bring everything to light,
and denounced Charles De Lesseps as
having used articles to throw dust in the
eyes of the jury, in a similar manner to
his use of artilice to obtain subscribers to
the Panama lottery bonds. He contended
the evidence confirmed the guilt of de-
PENDANTS.
Continuing, the Advocate General made
a somewhat extended reference to Frey
cinet Floquet, Clemenceau and their
connection with the scandal, defending
the course they pursued and justifying
the advice they give Charles De Lesseps
to comply with the demands made upon
him rather than become involved in a
law suit with Baron Reinach. The
speaker then turned his attention to Fon-
tame and Blondin, both of whom he de-
nounced in strong terms. He then de-
clared that the explanation made by
Saus-Leroy, that he reinvested 100000
francs of his wife's dowry at just the time
he is charged with having accepted that
sum from the canal company for chang
ing his vote on the Panama lottery bonds
bill, would not hold water. The Advo-
cate-General demanded that defendants
Deputy Dugue De Lafauconnerie and ex-
Deputy Gobron should have the same
punishment melted out to them as would
be imposed upon Charles De Lesseps.
The Acknowledgement closed his address
with graphic description of the poverty,
misery and general ruin which the
Panama Canal had caused throughout
France.
The court then adjourned.

MCAFFERY SIZES UP THE FIGHTERS.
NEW YORK, March 15.-The former
boxing instructor of the Manhattan Ath-
letic Club, Dominick McCaffery, has met
Mitchell, Sullivan and Corbett in the
arena. His opinion ON their form and
public performance ought to be worth
something. He also saw the fight between
Sullivan and Mitchell in France. Re-
ferring to the Mitchell-C orbett match he
said:
Mitchell is one of the most willing
fighters in the ring, and especially so if
he is getting the worst of it. He is very
scientific also. Sullivan is a kind of
quarter horse, he must win quickly.
Even when tired, however, he puts all
his might and soul into his punch. Then
when he misses it shakes him up, and it
is worse on him than on a clever boxer.
l fought him seven rounds, and when we
quit he was quite exhausted. 1 wanted to
go on. Three days after the referee gave
decision IN his favor. Corbett is not a
hard hitter. His strong point is his
cleverness in feintipg, thus keeping his
man screwed up all the time. He keeps
going constantly.
I'm the coming contest between Cor
bett and Mitchell, Corbett ought to win.
No matter how clever a marksman NAV
be, if his arm is too short of range he
can't hit his game. Immediately after
boxed with Corbett, 1 saw what tremen-
dous advantage hight and reach are under
the Queensberry rules. Under the Lon
don prize rules they are small. and a
tricky man has more of a chance with
big man. When boxed with Corbett I
recognized the fact of this advantage of
hight and reach, which now is pretty
generally conceded by most intelligent
boxers. Then, too, Corbett is young and
more ambitious than Mitchell, and has
enthusiasm. All Mitchell cares for is
money. There he is in it,"

MURDERoUs ASSAULT.
George Careless Beaten and Robbed at
Monterey.

-AohSSL0Ss
MONTEREY, March ia few nights
since G. d. Carless. who, with his wife
had already retired for the night, heard
rap at the door. He asked who was
there and was told to come out and take
care of his horses that they were in the
street. He arose, dressed himself and
went out, taking his shotgun with him,
but could not see any one outside. He
found the gate to the corral open and
some one from among the trees little
distance off called out, Here they are.'
Mr.. Carless, however, did not go there,
but took some barley, called his horses
and succeeded in getting them into the
corral. He had, in the meantime, stood
his gun up against the fence, close to the
gate, and when in the act of tying the
gate some one struck him on the back of
the head with a blunt instrument. He
was knocked down senseless, having
been struck three times, one of the blows
fracturing the skull on the right side of
his head
After Mr.. Carless regained conscious
ness he staggered into the house, and his
frightened wife, on seeing him covered
with blood, asked him what had hap
pened, but she could not elicit an intelli-
gent answer, as the poor man was in
dazed condition. Mrs. Carless then
called the hired man, who had been
sleeping during all this time, and told
him to call William Harmon, who is a
neighbor of theirs. Mr.. Harmon and
wife arrived in very short time and
stayed the remainder of the night.
DR.. Roberts of Seaside was at once sent
for, and he attended to the wounded man.
1t has been learned that the amount of
money taken from Mr.. Carless is $40 in
gold and small amount of silver.
The officers of Monterey were notified
next morning, but so far no clew has
been found.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-An ele-
vator accident occurred this evening in
an office building known as the Colon
ade' on Market street near Taylor,
which resulted in the instant death of
William O'Donnell, an u-year-old boy.
He was talking to the elevator boy on the
first floor, when he suddenly jumped
into the cage and said he was going to
take ride. The elevator boy told him
not to do so, but O'Donnell paid no heed,
and pulled the rope which started the
cage. Just above the first floor there
was an open transom, and for some
reason O'Donnell put his head through
this and was caught in an instant The
cage did not stop until it was three feet
above the transom, The boys neck was
broken and his head and shoulders were
so tightly wedged between the cage and
walls of the shaft that the woodwor had
to be cut away before his dead body
could be removed.
