TRIAL. OF MRS. BRYAN.
She Contradicted the Testimony
of Her Sons.
Private Detectives Will AssaiI the
Character of the Murdered
Woman's Husband.

SANTA Rosa, Dec. 15.-The principal
feature of the Meagher murder trial this
forenoon was the reading of the testimony
given by Mrs. Bryan at the CorOner's in
quest at Petaluma two days after the muir
der. In their testimony the sons of Mrs.
Bryan had said that Mrs. Bryan was tell
ing fortunes with cards at the time the
shots we're fired. Mrs. Bryan's testimony.
as read from the transcript did not
agree with their story. She said she did
not tell fortunes during the evening and
could not tell whether she was in bed
when the shots were fired or not, out she
was sure she was not in the kitchen at
that time. Her evidence was read to
show the difference in her story and the
story of her sons. All the papers con Germ
ing the estate, out Of which the great
family feud arose, were read. The will
of Mrs. Meagher's mother giving the blind
girl all her property during Der life was
also read. The property was valued at
over $4,000.

BY AN INFURIATED ITALIAN.
Was Enamored of a Widow, the
Proprietress.
BUT SHE REJECTED HIS SUIT.
Being Ordered Away He Tried to Kill
the Woman and Wrecked the
Kitchen.

SAN RAFAEL. Dec. ia dastardly and
partially successful attempt to blow up the
Bravo Hotel. an Italian boardng-h
occurred at 80 o'clock this morning and
resulted in wrecking the kitchen and ter
rorlzing the inmates of the house.
Antonio Victoria, LOGGER, the supposed
perpetrator, was at once placed under ar
rest and charged with the crime. The
house is conducted by Mrs. Bravo, a
widow, whose husband committed suicide
about six months ago. Antonio has been
ledger at the house long time. He is
an understood Italian, none too bright in
mind, earning livelihood by blasting trees
and cutting wood.
Ever since the death of the widows bus
band Victoria has been making love to
Mrs. Bravo, much to her annoyance, but
she reirained from Hing him to leave
the house as she feared his temper, being
well aware of his revengeful disposition.
Of late his love-making had been more vi
client than usual. and the past week he had
been continually annoying the widow,
who finally ordered him to leave the house.
He did so, but returned this morning in
an ugly mood and acting strangely. Mrs.
Bravo, having finished her duties in the
kitchen, came into the barroom and was
busying herself with work requiring her
attention.
Suddenly Victoria rushed in, calling
Mrs. Bravo to 60 into the kitchen. The
woman started toward the door leading to
the kitchen when an explosion occurred,
throwing her violently to the floor.
The kitchen was wrecked and splin-
tered. windows blown out and the large
range was blown to fragments. The
woman would doubtless have lost her lite
had the explosion occurred few seconds
later, as she would then have reached the
kitchen.
It is believed the dynamite was placed
in the oven of the range by Victoria. and
the fuse prepared with the intention of
destroying the woman who had spurned
his love.
The Sheriff made search of the pris-
oner's room after placing him in the
County Jail. He discovered quantity of
fuse and caps. such as is used IN blasting,
con cealed underneath Victoria's mattress,

AGRICULTURAL BOUNTY.
Mr.. Lubin Presents His Views to
Farmer Morton.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The Committee
on Agriculture gave a hearing to-day to
David Lubin of Sacramento. in connection
with the investigation now being made by
that committee of the causes of the pres
ent depressed condition of agriculture.
Mr.. Lubin it prominent member of the
California Grange. BE presented novel
and interesting plan for the relief of the
farmer, based upon the theory that the
agriculturist whose products were sold in
the free-trade markets of the world should
be compensated for the Increase In the
price of what he buys which is sold in
protected market by the levy of an export
bounty on staple agricultural products, like
wheat, corn, cotton, etc. He said his
plan would stimulate agriculture by
increasing the price of exported farm
products and by reaction of the price OF
such products sold in this country. Last
year about $500, ,000 worth of agricul-
tural products were exported. This was
about third of the total product If an
export bounty of say 10 per cent had been
levied for the benefit of the farmer the
latter would have received $50. 0oc, 600 for
his products exported and the effect of this
bounty on the home price would have, in
his opinion, Increased the value of the
product sold in this country $50, 900. 000
In his argument Mr.. Lubin presented
opinions against as well as for the plan.
He will be given a further hearing after
the holdays
