THE CAPAY TRAGEDY.
The Murderer's Name is Given as Z
higgins.


Higgins.
Last EVENINGS Woodland Democrat
contained the following additional par
ticulars of the homicide in Capay Valley:
Sheriff Wyckoff and District Attorney
Head arrived in Capay Wednesday, but
the examination could not be held until
to-day on account of the absence of the
Coroner, it being necessary that the IN
quest should be held first.
Coroner Bean arrived this morning and
the jury was impaneled with but little
delay, but could not proceed on account
OF the non-arrival of witnesses.
In the meantime Drs. Craig OF Capay
and Carpenter of Madison held an au-
topsy, and they found three cuts in the
right side, one in the neck, another
through the right ear and into the face,
and another on the right side of the
mouth just below the lip.
One of the blows of the knife broke the
third rib and another passed between the
second and third ribs and penetrated the
right lung.
OF the wounds the doctors say there
were two, either of which were neces-
sarily fatal.
The murderer has concluded that it is
useless to try to conceal his identity any
longer, and this morning he gave his
He has made great many contradict
ory statements, and pretends that he
does not know whether he stabbed the
deceased, owen Mclaughlin, or not.
OF course the facts will not be positively
known until the inquest and the exam
ipation has been held, but it is learned
that the testimony of several witnesses
Will be very damaging to the prisoner.
The quarrel was an old one and began
as long as three weeks ago. There was
no witness to the tragedy except the man
who did the stabbing and his victim,
whose lips are sealed forever.
William Allison, Capay blacksmith,
was present at one time during the quar-
rel, but he came away, suppOsing it was
all settled. Jack Armstrong, a promi-
nent farmer, is supposed to know good
deal about the affair and will testify.
Frank Millsap viii also be another i'm
portant witness.
The murder must have occurred about
s o'clock on Tuesday evening. Higgins
dragged the dead body hundred yards
and into the cabin and slept there during
the night.
Early Wednesday morning he started
for Capay, passing several parties on the
road, none of whom he told Of the muir
der.
The dead man went to the house of Mr..
Richardson of Brooks the day before the
tragedy, and reported that Higgins had
threatened his life.
Mr.. Richardson went to the cabin
Wednesday morning, after Higgins had
lett, aud found the dead body alone.

THE GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
Contract Let for the Approaches in
Front and Rear.

Contract Let for the Approaches in
Front and Rear.
In the elaborate description of the post
office building. published in the RECORD
UNION on the llth inst, il was said:
"A contract is about to be let which is
the last OF all in the completion OF the
structure, and that is for the building OF
the approaches. These include the cement
sidewalks and platforms from them to
the several entrances, and the seml-cIr-
cular driveway in the lear. This drive
opens out of Oak Avenue with an 10
foot entrance on the west, and circles
around to the main rear entrance porch,
where mails, fuel and supplies will be de-
| livered, and finishes with an exit on the
east on Oak Avenue sixteen feet wide. 1t
will be constructed probably of bitumen,
possibly of roughened artificial stone.
Between the curve OF this drive and the
outer line of the property there is left an
eighteen-toot plot, which will be sown to
grass"
Last night telegram was received from
Washington stating that the successful
bidders were McPhee d Grolere of San
Francisco. The sum mentioned is 1894.
There yet remains in the fund the sum
of $3.50, and it is quite likely a portion
of this may be available for constructing
sidewalks on the X and Seventh-street
sides OF the property.

CARPET ON THE RIVER BOTTOM
The Novel Scheme Resorted TO by a
Bridge Builder.

The Novel Scheme Resorted TO by a
Bridge Builder.
George G. Morrison, who is building
the Memphis bridge, is making use of a
new idea in sinking the caIssons for the
pier. His scheme is the use Of great mat
tresses, which are woven on the spot.
The following description of preparing
and using these mattresses is from the
manuscript of the report which Mr. Nor
rson is preparing on that work, and was
printed in the R0itrO0d Gazette:
phe method adopted to limit the scour
was to carpet the bottom of the river with
woven willow mat similar to those
which are used by the Mississippi River
Commission for the protection of eroding
banks. The device proved perfectly sue
cessful. Before the caisson could be
placed in position the mats which were TO
protect the pier sites from scour had to
be placed. Two bargeS were fitted with
ways for weaving the mats, and two
mooring barges were anchored above the
pier site transverseIy with the stream.
The weaving barges were then placed be-
low the mooring barges, and the material
bargeS were brought up to the lower side
of the weaving barges.
The mat was then woven on the wavs
and the upper end of it fastened to the
mooring barges, and also to the anchor
which held the moorlng barges, each an
chor carrying two lines, one leading to
one of the mOoring barges, and the other
under the mooring barge to the mat AS
the weaving proceeded the weaving
barges were dropped down stream, so
that when the mat was entirely completed
the weaving barges were at the lower end
and the whole mat was floating on the
water. The mat woven in this way was
240 feet wido and 400 feet long, 1t was
loaded with stone until it barely floated,
and enough stone was thrown on the up
per end to sink this end. The upper end
of the mat was submerged first and held
near the surface by the lines leading from
the mooring barges. Two barges loaded
with stone were then hoated over the
upper end OF the mat, and the stone was
thrown from them on the floating mat
below. As the mat was sunk the barges
were dropped down stream until the en-
tire mat was settled on the bottom. When
the sinking barges had passed over about
half the length Of the mat, the lines con-
Meeting the upper end of the mat with
the mooring barge were then cast off, and
the upper end of the mat allowed to sink
to the bottom. The whole time required
to sink the mat was not over ten minutes.
Each mat contained l 900 cords of brush
and poles. 900 tons of rip-rap and 10000
pounds OF wire.

day. The company opens here next
Wednesday evening in the play admit
ted 10 the Bar" This drama was in prep
aration for Mr.. Dickson when he was
here TWO years ago. 1t is from the pen
OF Mr.. Doblin and Charles Klein. 1t has
scored a success wherever produced. 1t
hinges upon the struggles OF a young law
student in love with the daughter of his
preceptor and employer. 1t is repre-
sented by the critical press as strong, of
lively and sustained interest and as nat
ural and reasonable in plot and action.
In the company is Lillian Burkhart, who
was a leading woman in "Incog": Err
nest Willis, an Australian actor of note,
and Thomas a. Wise, a popular artist.
Mr.. Dickson has the leading role. lie is

ing play, The Fairy Circle" will be re-
peated tonight by the well-balanced
stock company, with Its beautiful seem
cry, fairy dances, songs, wit and dramatic
plot. 1t is one of the haudsomest pieces
ever put upon the Opera-house stage, and
deserves to be seen, since it is whole
some i'll tone, spectacle to please the
eye, and affords rational entertainment.
Mr. and Mrs. Ward, Miss Muffin. Mr..
Bacon, Mr.. Berch and Mr.. McCurdey

vantage in the play.
The New York Stock Company will to-
night produce at Armory Hall the power

interest and is the opportunity for some
fine emotional acting, which Miss Nan
nary fully avails Of. The play will be cast
TO the full strength of the troupe, which,
with such people as Hallett, Snow Hess
Hernandez, Stewart and Reynolds on the
male side, and the Misses Nannary,
Blance and Clairesse on the female side,
is one of exceeding strength.

The newly-wedded couple boarded
the train at village station and crowd
of about hundred people saw them off.
The groom was strapping young
fellow, with sunburned face and hands,
and bears grease on his hair, while the
bride might have been the ''hired gal''
on the same farm They had no sooner
taken seat than he put his arm around
her and began to caress one of her
hands. A voice in the rear of them
cried out "Spoons." but the bridegroom
gave no sign. Pretty soon he pulled
her head over on his shoulder and there
was a litter from the rear of the car.
The head stayed right there, however.
and Josh got both her hands IN his one
paw. Three or four voices cried out
"Ohr and "Ahl' but it was fully two
minutes before he tenderly pushed her
away and rose up and looked around
and said: "We are married. It was a
case of luv. We spanked fur seven
years. She's my violet and I'm her
