CALIFORNIA WINE.
It Is EulogiZed at the
Congress.
Interesting Papers Read by Promi-
nent Chemists-The Soil of
Florida.

Some interesting papers were presented
yesterday at the congress of chemistry,
which is being held in Golden Gate Hall.
One paper in particular. Some Charac-
teristics of California Wines" by ". II.
Krug, read by DIR, Wiley, contained infor-
nation especially valuable to the people Of
this State.
The wines of California were spoken Of
IN the most encouraging terms by ". II.
Krug. At the Worlds Colum bian EXPOSE
ton in Chicago he stated that they formed
one of the most in teresting and varied of
the American exhibits. at the close Of
the exposition some of these wines were
submitted for analyZRti0n tn Mr.. Krug at
the laboratory Of the Agricultural De-
partment a Washington. The greater
part Of them were found TO be clear aud
brilliant, showing that great care had been
exercised in maturing and bOttling. On
the whole, California dry wines are char
acteriZed by high percentage of alcohol
and low percentage of glycerol.
A comparison was drawn in the course
OF the paper between California wine
products and those of Europe, and il was
stated that the dry wines Of this State are
equal to those of Europe. and that the red
wines are superior to the young French
clarets The sweet wines are 20 be pre-
con taning the same amount of alcohol.
The European market, the writer further
stated, is beginning to appreciate the eX-
celleuce of California wines, and before
long they will doubtless have a large sale
on the other side OF the Atlantic.
Another paper that excited considerable
interest was one on properties of Typi-
cal Florida Soils" by DR.. II. w. Wiley,
chief OF The division Of chemistry of the
Agricultural Department at Washington.
| The soils OF Florida were described as o I
four types-'he sand barrens, formed by
the deposits of marine sand; the muck or
peat soils, which have been formed about
the margins of lakes and streams by the
slow decay of the vegetable matter under
meath the water; the so-caled prairie
lands which form the transition between
the muck soils and the sand barreus. The
last type Of soil, 10 which the term hum
mock land has been applied, is largely
saleious. The State OF Florida is more or
less covered with vast deposits Of sand,
but the virginia. fertile soil beneath is
too far buried to be Of any practical use.
The other papers preseDted were by A.
! B. Lyons OF Honolulu, z. w. HilgaTd, III.
E. Jaffa, F. Shapeiey. W. c. Blasdale. a.
A. Cunningham, DR.. Frederick Salathe,
Alfred b. RegensbuIger and Theodore
Armstrong.
Many Of the gentlemen assisting in the
congress are prominent chemists from the
middle and Eastern States, as well as Cali
fornians. After hearing papers all morn
ing yesterday they devoted the afternoon
to visiting works which possess special
interest for mem beTs of their profession.
These were the Pacific Coast Oil Refinery,
the Pacific Borax Works, the Standard
Soap Works, Ell Dorado Oil Works and
the chemical laboratory of the University
OF California.

CLUNIE KNOCKED OUT.
Demurrer Sustained to His Sui
Against the Supervisors.

against the Supervisors.
Andy j. Clunie was knocked out of court
IN short order by Judge Wallace yesterday
In his suit to Dust the Board Of Super
visors.
Clunie fought his case as hard as he
could, but he could not overcome the de-
murrer interposed by the defendants.
Clunie claimed that as the previous Board
OF Supervisors had illegally authorized the
Teasurer TO pay over 100000 in claims
against the city which did not belong to
the fiscal year out of whose revenues they
were paid, it was the duty of the present
Board of Supervisors to sue them for re-
cCvery Of the money. BY falling to do so,
Clunie claimed that the present Super
vlSorS were guilty of gross derellctOn of
duty, and he moved to GUST them from Of
fee.
DAME! Rogers, Supervisor from the Sec
ono Ward. appeared as counsel for the de-
Tense. He demurred to the complaint on
statutory grounds.
After hearing arguments Judge Wallace
decided TO sustain the demurrer He said
that the actions of the Supervisors in such
cases were purely discretionary, not
mandatory. The Supervisors acted In the
premises as a legislative body, and If they
erred at all the offense was lot such as to
warrant an action being brought to Dust
them from Office.
90 these grounds the demurrer was sus-
tanned and Cunie's action thrown out of
court Clunie now says that he will sue
the old Board of Supervisors Individually
and collectively and endeavOr TO get from
them what he Cannot force the present
Board Of Supervisors to sue for.

1t was claimed Cd behalf of the employees

THE COAL SITUATION.

no ACTION YET TAKEN by THE ANTHRACITE
SHIPPING INTERESTS.
AS far az known in this city yesterday. anthracite
shipping interests have not yet taken action In re-
gard TO the resolution Of the individual operators
They were at first rather staggered by It, but were
talking hopefully OF the situation yesterday.
They made the point that the individual operators
are tied up with longter contracts This Is par
ticularly true OF those the Lehigh Valley These
contracts stipuae that coal must be sold at go per
cent of the tidewaer price. There is no possible
way they say. OF abrogatng the contracts The
opera;ors may make recommendation. but have
no way Of enforcing their policy. In regard TO the
position taken by Coke Brothers Co. they say
that II Is broadly considered less important than
IS peculiarly supposed Their production Of coal
Is only drop In .he bucket.
1t is said however. that an effort Will be made to
get Coke Brothers Co. TO recede from their posi-
ton About the only company which Will not be
seriously affected is the Delaware and Hudson which
controls the greater part Of Its line trade exclu-
siyely An executive officer Of one Of the larger an
thracite companies said that the Jersey Central
practically controlled all Its line trade and intended
to keep 1t under any and all circumstances.

to result therefrom have In my Judgment been dis
torted and exaggerated. These operators meet from
time to time and talk. but they have no important
bea ring upon the trade. The chief complaint is on

Hayward is the western agent of
greengoods combination, whose head
quarters are at New York, with a
principal branch at Chicago. The first
clue to this was given by one of the
members of the gang, whose consci-
ence was qufckened by the murder Of
Catherine Cling. a day after the
murder, Julia Cling, the twin sister of
Kfttie, who resides at Auburn, n. Y,
received an anonymous letter saying
that her sister had been murdered and
she had better have the matter investi-
gated. A search. the letter intinated,
would bring the facts to light in the
case and the guilty parties to justice.
The tone of the letter as well as several
hints therein, leads the authorities to
believe that if the murder had not
been committed as quickly as it was,
the writer would nave furnished evid-
ence enough to lead to the truth of the
affair. In fact, the authorities Of New
York did take up the clue offered by
the letter and following it up discover
ed that the writer was a. member of a
greengoods gang which has been
operating extensively.
Hayward u Green Goods Man.
What additional facts the officers
discovered have been kept secret, but
1T has been learned that the connec-
ton of Harry Hayward with this
organization has been of long stand
ing and that in his series of escapade5
in various parts of the country Hay
ward has handled large amount of
the fictitious cash successfully enough
to gain the entire confidence of the
gang.
The money which Catherine Cling
obtained from Hayward just previous
to her death will be shown to have
been a portion of the greengoods which
passed into her possession from Hay
ward, who afterwards found it neccs-
sary to put his victim out of the way
to prevent. exposure.
The authorities do not claim that
this was the main cause of Miss Ging's
removal but that it was a factor which

CharIes Perrx to Hang.

Boise, Ida, Dec. 1.-THE supreme
court today affirmed the verdict of the
lower court in the case. of Charles
Perry, sentenced at Pocatello, to hang
for the murder of Patrick Mcnamara,
at Lava, in June last This will be
the first execution in Idaho in many
years. The date of the execution is not
yet set.
Among other cases decided were the
following:
In the case of G. w. Cummins, VS.. B.
F. Cone, auditor of Latah county, it
was decided that in the redemption of
property sold for taxes, the so per
cent. penalty applies to the full amount
and interest.
In the case of William Q. Greer, ct
al, VS.. Cache Valley Canal company
ct al, appellants, the judgment of the
lower court was affirmed. Plaintiffs
filed a lien for $4,000 on a portion Of
the canal property of defendant located
in Bingham county. The defendant
claimed the lien was invalid for the
reason that it embraced only a portion
and not the whole of the canal system.
The court holds the lien was valid.
A case which raised an important
question affecting city ordinances was
decided. 1t was entitled The State VS..
Frank Preston. Preston was arrested
and fined for vagrancy. He appealed
to the district court and was beaten
there. He then took am appeal to the
supreme court. Appellant attacked the
validity of the vagrancy ordinance of
PocatelIo on the ground that it defined
an offense made punishable by the
general statutes. This raised the di-
rect question whether all city ordin-
ances covered by the penal code are not
invalid. The supreme court in affirm
ing the judgment of the lower
court holds that municipal corpora
lions may pass ordinances for the
of and may punish for the
same acts as are punishable under the
penal code when authorized so to do by
the law under which such towns and
villages are organized.
In the case of the Colorado Iron
Works VS.. William Rickenburg, the
Judgment of the lower court was re-
versed. Rickenburg demurred to the
on the ground that the
plaintiffs being material men, were
sub-contractors, and that they should
have filed their lien within the thirty
days limit. Judge Nugent sustained
the demurrer. The supreme court re-
verses Judge Nugent's ruling. 1t
holds that material men stand on the
same footing as original contractors,
where the material is furnished to the
owner direct and therefore they have
sixty days in which to file liens.
The judgment of the district court
was affirmed in the case of The State
vs. John Gibbs. Gibbs was sent to the
from Bear Lake county
for eight years for attempt TO commit
rape. Chief Justice Huston very
severely criticized the manner in
which r., S. Spence, Gibbs attorney.
had presented his case in court and
said, had it not been that a mans
liberty was involved it would nave
been sunmar.ly disposed of.
