out the following grists:
In the cases OF the city against Bill
White, Sam and Hig LESLEY, charg.
ed with resisting an officer, the two
former entered a plea of guilty and
we're each fined SIS and costs.
Hig LESLEY failed to put in his ap-
pearance and his bond Of 800 was
declared forfeited. j. j. Moore and
w. +. Williams are Lessley's bonds
men. This is not the first eaper OF
this kind LESLEY has cut, having left
his bondsmen with the bag to hold
on one or two other occasions. but
we never yet heard Of a one Of his
bonds being collected.
In two other ARRAYS Bill White
was charged with disturbing the
peace by challenging, quarreling and
fighting, but both of these cases
against the festive William were dis
missed.
The case against Herbert White,
who had a ''scrap" with Walter
Perkinson, the negro who was 80
badly used up a week ago last Satur-
day night, was tried by jury which
returned a verdict OF mot guilty" /"
whereupon the defendant was called
upon to set 'em up to the crowd. in
cluding the sore-headed negro, Per-
kinson.

be remembered, was fined $35 and
costs for his part in the affair, while
White goes scot free.

PRINCE DAVID.
His Return From His Mission to
Washington,

Prince David Kawananakoa of the Ha-
waiian Islands. accompanied by Colonel L.
c. Macfarlane and suite, arrived in this
city from Washington. D. c.. last night.
They arrived on the 945 overland train.
and Immediately on their arrival were
driven to the Occidental Hotel, where
apartments had previously been secured for
them.
Prince David and Colonel Macfarlane, to-
gether with Paul Neumann, have been in
Washington, D. c., for the past month TO
plead the canse OF the Queen against the
Provisional Government.
Both Prince David and Colonel Macfar-
lane declined an interview. owing to the
lateness of the hour and on the ground that
the party were thoroughly fatigued by their
long journey across the continent.
Prince David. however, expressed him.
self as thoroughly pleased with the pros
poets of a speedy settlement of the Ha-
waiian question. He was warm in his re-
marks, and enthusiastically stated that he
had full confidence in the present admins
tratioH, which would doubtless render a
favorable decision in the matter.
Both the Prince and his cham berIain
begged to be excused from further talk.
Paul Neumann. one of the commissioners
on behalf of the depOsed Queen, was de-
tanned at Washington by pressing business,
but is expected 10 arrive in this city to-

TELLER MAY Go.
New Delegates for the
Conference.
MR.. CLEVELAND HAS VIEWS.
He VIII Send to Brussels Some Man
Who VIII Speak for Sound
Money.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Several friends
of silver coinage in the Senate claim to have
positive assurances from Presden Cieve-
land that he will send a delegation to
Brussels in May to represent the United
States at the international monetary con-
ference, and that he has already taken
steps to notify the various nations taking
part that our Government would be pleased
to have them again represented. Allison
and Teller are reUorted to have received
these assurances.
1t is not improbable that Teller will take
the place of Jones of Nevada as the repre-
sentative OF free-silver Republicans on the
delegation from this country. Allison has
refused positively to return to Brussels and
Jones does not desire to 90. The President
will designate a Democrat in accord with
his views on the silver question to take the
place of Allison. Among the names sug-
gested as the possible choice are j. Edward
Simmons, prominent New York banker :;
ex-COmptroler w. L. Trenholm and ex-
Secretary Fairchild.
The statement published this morning
that j. Pierpont Morgan, the New York
banker, who sailed on the Majestic from
New I ork to-day, is to act as the repre-
sentative of this Government to negotiate
for the loan of S50.O0Oo0O in gold from
foreign nations is stamped as a fabrication
at the Treasury Department As on all other
topics affecting the financial policy Of the
present admin stration, Secretary Carlisle
refuses absolutely to discuss the question.
Morgan's mission, if there lie any mission,
is probably in behalf of New York bankers
who desire to have European firms prepared
to become part of syndicate to take bonds
should circumstances demand their issu-
ance.
New YORK, March 22-The Wall-street
Journals Washington special says: Secre-
tsry Carlisle says he has had no Interview
with j. PierponE Morgan aor any communi-
cation with HMM fat he never saw him
in his life. So the story that Morgan went
to Europe to-day to negotiate sale of bonds
Is entirely groundless.
Before sailing this morning J. PeIpont
Morgan denied the published statement
that he was going abroad to negotiate gold
loans for $4,000. OOO he said he was simply
going abroad for rest and would return in
June.

PETALUAIA. March pa most distress
ing accident occurred here this morning.
The 80 rain pulled in from Santa Rosa as
usual, and taking up one passenger started
south. Philip HYDE. one of the popular
engineers of the san Francisco and North
Pacific. had charge OF the throttle.
AS the train neared the woolen- mills
crossing, three young women on their way
to the silk factory to begin their labors were
seen near the track. The engine bell was
rung and there seemed no danger of an accl-
dent. As the engine neared the young
ladies, one Of them stepped between the
rails as If to cross the track. Before she
was across, however. the engine was upon
her.
Did that girl get over tie track ?" asked
Mr.. Hyde Of his fireman.
Il think not" was the solemn answer.
Mr. Hyde pulled up the train. and the
supposition of the fireman proved all too
true The engine struck the young woman
and the wheels passed over her body. When
picked up both her limbs we're cut off below
the knees and she was frightfnlly bruised
in all parts OF her body. Life, however,
was not extinct, and the unfortunate young
woman was taken up tenderly and put into
one OF the cars and the train was backed to
the depot. There the trainhands lifted the
body from the car and took her into the
walting-roOm. A large crowd soon gathered
and gave all the assistance in their power.
Later she was removed to her home, when
Or. Reed was summoned ana took the
patient in charge.
The name of the victim is Miss Lima Kui-
full She is about 19 years Of age and was
an employe Of the Carlson Currier silk
mills. The accident seems not to have been
caused through negligence of the engineer.
but through the misfortune of the injured
girl. She was deaf and dumb, and the sup
position is that she could not hear the train
coming and did not know her danger until
it was too late.
Many are ready to lay the blame on the
city in negleeting 10 build good sidewalks
In East Petaluma. The employees in going
10 their work at the mills in that part of
lown are required either to take the railroad
track or else wade through the mud.
Amputation of both the young woman's
limbs above tile knees was found necessary,
nut she did not survive the shock. and died
shortly after 8 o'clock. The remains will
be Inferred at Bloomfield.

SAN PEDRO. March 22.-This community
was startled this morning when a message
was received from Wilmington that Judge
j. F. c. Johnson, for many years Judge OF
the San Pedro and Wilmington courts, had
committed suicide by shooting himself. The
facts as learned are as follows:
About clock this morning Judge John
son left his home and went to a barn ad-
Joining TO hitch up a horse. A few mo-
ments later pistol shot was heard by his
daughter, who imm ediately ran to the barn,
where she found her father lying on the
floor, with a bullet wound in his head.
doctCr was summoned, but his services
were of no avail. Death was almost instan-
taneous. The ball entered the right tenn
pie. coming out back of the left ear. At
present no motive for the suicide can be as
signed. Judge johnson was 63 years of age,
an able magistrate and highly respected
by all.
Los ANGELES, March 22-J. NJ. S. John
son, Justice Of the Peace at san Pedro, who
committed suicide at Wilmington to-day,
was cited to aprear in court this morning to
show cause why he should not be removed
as guardian of Edward johnson, a minor,
whose estate he was managing Some time
ago a petition was filed in Judge Clark's
court and an attachment was issued for
him, he falling to obey the citation. II is
supposed that he got wind of the attach
ment and determined to take his case to the
supreme court on high. Instead of obeying
the mandate of the Los Angeles tribunal he
blew out his brains with a revolver.
The estate of his ward is a small one, but
report has it that he managed it badly and
WAS in arrears to his ward.
johnson was Justice of the Peace at San
Pedro for number of years, and so trust
worthy was he deemed that practically no
opposition was even offered to his re-elec-
ton, all parties combining to retain him in
power. The petition for his renewal from
his trust was the first intimation any one
had of his shortcomings, and friends were
numerous who refused to believe in his guilt.
The affair has caused great excitement in
the vicinity Of his home, aud much genuine
regret is expressed for the unfortunate old
man, whose life ended in such a terrible

SACRAMENTO, March 22-This morning a
delegation OF mining men. comprising J.
II. Nrff, president of the Miners Associa-
ton, ". c. R4lston. its secretary. Dan Cole,
Samuel X. Thornton, John T. hidder. Sena-
tor Ford of Sierra, and Assembyman
Thomas Of Nevada. called upon the Gov
ernoT to request that he sign the Ford bill.
The mining iuen were accorded a warm re-
ception by the Governor. Mr.. Neff stated
that they did not wish TO take up much of
the Governors time, but the other side had
been heard, and he thought that it was no
more than right that the miners should be
allowed the same privilege. %he inaugural
address of the Governor had given the
miners new hope.
Assemblyman Mathews of Tehama said
he had a mining as well as an agricultural
constituency. In his county no damage
was done from hydraulic mining. lie
thought that if the Governor did not sign
the bill it would have a bad effect on
remedial legislation in Congress. In regard
to the $3.50, 600 appropriated under the bill.
1t would not be drawn upon at all. The bill
provided that the money should not be
used except in case of contingency.
Il don't think" said the Governor, chat
this bill will have a particle of weight with
Congress, and if there were provision in
the Caminett bill that California should
make an appropriation l might look more
faYorably OR this bin"
Thomas said there was such a provision
IN the bill. The Governor thought not, and
expressed desire 10 see the bLl. Thomas
produced the Caminetti bill, and called the
Governors attention to the section in refer
ence to the appointment under the laws of
the State of California Of debris commits
sion, and an Implied request for State ap-
preparations.
Governor Markham said he had not read
the Caminetu bill. 'If l sign this bill, d"
said he, "what other appropriation bill ran
refuse to sign? 1 have made pledge to
the people that the tax rate shall not exceed
fifty cents"
The Governor then called the attention
OF the delegation to poor woman who had
just left the room. She was the widow Of a
pioneer. The Legislature passed a relief
bill for her, and she was importuning the
Governor to sign it. The delegation, thank
ing the Governor. retired.
