ATKINSON'S DEATH.
AN INQUEST UPON THE BODY OF
THE UNFORTUNATE.
The Sheriff of Kings County Arrives
With q Warrant Which VIII
Never He Served
Here.

Sheriff Buckner of Hanford, Kings
county, arrived in the city yesterday
with a warrant for the arrest of Fletcher
o. Atkinson, the young man who COM
mitted suicide in the county Jail Thurs
day evening immediately after being
taken into custody by Deputy sherihs
VIM. Cline and David Martin.
The warrant was issued at Hanford at
the instance of lumber company by
which Atkinson was formerly employed
and charges the young man with en-
bszzlement. The sheriff telegrsped here
to have Atkinson detained until his ar.
rival, and he was startled upon finding
that his prisoner had killed himself.
An inquest was held on the body at
Orr & Birds yesterday morning, and a
verdict of death caused by strychnin Q
was rendered.
According to the statement Of Mr.. w.
W. Parlin of 937 Orange street, this city,
who is vice president OF the bank, At.
kinson was an exemplary young man, OF
good habits and education. He had
loaned him $40 only day or two ago,
and would have let him have 500 had
he asked.
The wife OF the deceased will arrive
from San Francisco this morning to take
charge of the body.

MUST BUILD A FLUME.

Irrigators who Cannot ESQ the sstt-
ling Chamber.
The sewer committee yesterday had
q consultation with a number of prop
erty owners in the neighborhood of the
settling chamber of the outfall sewer
with regard to irrigsting their lands.
A proposition WAS made that the sewer
be backed up in the siphon of the out.
fall sewer until the settling chamber
overlooked in order that parties in the
neighborhood can secure the water for
irrigation purposes. Oouncilmen N;ckell
and Munson decided that it would be
both impractical and inexpedient to
overflow the settling chamber for this
purpose, and parties wanting irrigation
water will have to rely on zaDja s r or
build flame from the first hydrant on
the outfsll sewer. Arrangements were
made by the committee with A. Wal
lace to remove the $50 yards OF sand
which has been taken out OF the settling
chamber, having been washed into the
same from the internal sewer system.
The outfall sewer il now earning about
$25 per day when the necessary water
can be secured.

EAST sIDERs INcENsRD.

The Streets IN Bad Condition From
Violation OF the Law.
The people of East Los Angeles are In
a state OF incipient revolution over the
condition of the streets in that section
OF the city on which sewers have been
recently laid.
The two streets on which the city
ordinances have been most fagrantly
violated are North Sichel street and
North Griffin avenue. Although the
law requires that only 200 feet of street
shall be opened at one time under the
specifications, both of these streets are
open for $500 feet and as natural con-
sequence they are almost impossible,
being open only on one eide which is
virtually running these thoroughfares.
Councilman Nickel was reading the
riot act in the city hall yesterday and
stated that he had brought up this
matter twice in the council, and had
personally called the attention of the
street superintendent to the violation OF
the specifications, and in justice to his
constituents he proposed to see that the
street superintendent took immediate
action to correct this glazing evil.

The Reception Given to the Grad untin e
Glass.
The most elaborate reception of the
season was given last night by President

class of '94 and their friends at Occi-
dental college. The host and hostess
stood near the door to receive and wei.
come the guests, who were ushered into
the college psrlors.
The walls and stands about the room
were profusely decorated with white and
pink roses, ferno and heliotrops. Good
win Bros. quartette interested the audi
ence with beautiful vocal selection,
which was loudly epplauded.
Miss Goodwin followed with a vocal
selection which seemsd to be appre-
ciated, By the continuous applause OF
the audience. The audience then in
terested themselves partaking of the
excellent refreshments that followed.
Prot. r. O. French acted as toast
master. The first called was President
McPherron, who WAS greeted by loud
and continuous applause. He spoke
briefly, congratulsting the graduates on
their success. and pointed out the
brilliant future of Occidental college.
The graduating class, composed of Mr..
Donald K. Cameron, Mr.. H. Percy Dill
worth and Mics Floy K. Roberts, then
followed in their order. Each was
roundly applauded. Goodwin brothers

MORE ELECTRIC SCHEMES
TWO PARTIES WHO WANT NEW
FRANCHISES.
Petitions for the Right to Convey EIeo-
trioai Heat, Energy and Light
Through Wire and Com
QUITS Submitted.

The board of public works tackle d
several interesting public problems yes
terday morning.
A delegation OF Alvarado street prop
erty owners was present to protest
against the Storrs electric railway
franchise on that thoroughfare. and
they were assured by the board that the
road would not be permitted on that
thoroughfare.
The protest of the Providence street
people against the electric road was
taken up and sustained.
In accordance with q petition from
Maj. A. W. Barrett, presented at the
last meeting of the council, an ordinance
WAS submitted for q franchise for erect
ing poles, etrlnging wires and construct
ing conduits for the transmission OF
electricity and electrical energy in tn Q
city of Los Angeles. the franchise to
be sold to the highest bidder. The Pc
tition asking for the franchise sets
forth that it ia for the development :
and distribution of electricity for light
ing. heating and supplying power
for manufacturing and other purposes.
The board decided to take the matter
under advisement.
Attorney Monro appeared before the
board and asked that the proceedings
for sidewalk on Main street be amend
ed SO as not to include Main street be-
tween Ninth and Tenth streets in front
OF the proposed Tenth street hotel, as
the parties do not wish to put in side
walk prior to the building of the hetel,
which was promised in the near future.
On motion the desired change was made.
Major Donnell appeared before the
board and stated that two years ago he
had presented an application for fran
chise for conduit company for Mr..
Neuhart, and that, learning that an APP
plication had been made for an electrical
company to supply heat and power, he
desired time to prepare an application
to the council at the next meeting, at
which Tins he would submit an appli-
cation on the general lines of the Neu-
hart franchise.
Major Barrett stated that he could
see NO reason why his people should be
compelled to wait until the Neuhart
parties filed their application. The
whole state OF California was at liberty
to bid on the franchise he asked for.
He proposed to supply heat and power
with electrical energy while Major Don
nell's company was merely conduit
company. and did not supply heat or
power, but would compel other COM
panies to use their conduits and pay
rental.
The matter was then laid over for fur
Their consultation. The petition asking
for a change in the name of Alameda
street was also held over for action by
the board when the matter of making
general changes in street names shall be
considered.

THE BOTT TOM FELL ENT|RELYOU
Eleven Grand Jury Indict-
ments Set Aside.
They Embrace Pasadena Election and
Slaughter House Cases.
Tho Documents Wore Defective, and
Judge Smith VIII Not Allow Them
to Stand -The Rsasons for
the Decision.

The courts have begun to undo some
of the work done by the late grand jury.
Amongst other indictments returned
by the body were several sgainst
slaughter-house men charging them
with maintaining nuisances, and against
some Pasadena gentlemen charging
them with violating the election law.
Yesterday Judge Smith knocked
them out, IL in all.
The slaughter house indictments were
disposed of in the following brief deci.
sion:
This is an indictment charging the
defendant with the crime OF maintain
ing public nuisance in the county OF
Los Angeles in the state OF California.
1t is urged by defendant that the in
dictment is defective in that it fails to
allege the offense was committed with
put the city limits OF the city OF Los
Angeles.
The law Ia we'll settled that the police
courts of Los Angeles city have exclus-
i've jurisdiction Of all misdemeanors
within its limits.
The crime charged in the indictment
Ia misdemeanor and can only be tried
in the superior court in the first in
stance, whom committed outside OF the
city limits OF this city.
Must the indictment allege the offense
to have been committed outside the cor
porate limits OF the city OF Los Angeles
In the case OF the people Va. Wong
Wang reported in 90 California, 277, the
court says: To give the superior court
jurisdiction, the information should
show that the offenee was committed
within the jurisdiction OF that court,
The information in this case does not
show that fact. The offense may have
been committed within the county of
Los Angeles, and yet without the juris-
diction of the superior court. 1t is q
familiar and well settled rule of law
that the indictment must allege that the
offense was committed within the jnris-
diction of the court.
Tested by the above rule the indict-
ment ia insufficient and shows no juris-
diction in this court to entertain the
case. The indictment, therefore, is set
aside and the defendant discharged. The
same order applies to No. 1883 against
the same party, and also to Nos. 147S
and 1879 againet Charles Gassen, and to
Nos. 1880 and 1881 against Louis Streu-
Der.
The indictments by the grand jury
against A. G.. Buchanan, Joseph La
Spada, G. A. Harley, s. q. Beers and
O. N. Terry Of Pasadena, charging them
with violating the election laws by sign
ing election petitions for two different
sets of candidates, were dismissed by
Judge Smith.
Demurrers were filed In the cases,
which were sustained by the court.
They alleged that the indictments
charged a misdemeanor, but the facts
alleged. If they proved anything, proved
a felony; that the indictments were
not specific and did not confor m to the
statutes.

WASHINGTON WORKERS,
And the Great Dangers That
Surround Them.
SENATORS INTERVIEWED.
Considerable Excitsmsnt Has Beer
Caused by The soddsn Breaking Dowa
CT Sc Many Prominent Men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June l5.-The ex.
elements OF congress and the interest
caused by varying schemes and various
measures have been overshadowed OF
late by a revelation of the alarming
death rate among public men, and the
additional fact that in nearly every case
the cause can be traced 20 one source.
The sad and sudden death of ex-Post.
master General Frank Hatton, who was
stricken at his desk and died shortly
afterwards, recalls the deaths of Secre-
taries Folger, Windem, Chandler and
Chase, and Senators Sumner, Beck,
Cameron and others.
Now it has dswned upon the minds of
the public men that there must be some
one great reason Tor all these untimely
deaths, and it has been traced directly
to that great modern trouble which
seems to be natural scourge, Bright'a
disease of the kidneys.
An interview with mum Der of prom
inent men on the subject shows the in
terest they feel. Mr. }. Henderson Will
kinson, the we'll known pension attor-
ney, said: Ten years ago l was seized
with an attack of Bright's disease while
at work in the treasury here. How bad
| was you can understand when l say
that my hands became bloated and
actually cracked open. NY limbs and
body were alternately Iswollen and col
lapsed. could only creep across the floor.
Finally my physician said to me, You
are at deaths door with Bright's dis
eaBe. You may live few weeks, but
there is absolutely no hope of your re-
covery.' Upon the advice of the Rev.
DR.. Rankin, President OF Howard Uni-
versity, l began the use OF Warmers
Safe Cure, which rescued me from the
grave after the doctors had abandoned
all hope. am certain that if men and
women generally realized the wonderful
power of this great remedy there would
be less sickness, fewer deaths, longer
life and more happiness than at present.
Rev. DIR. j. E. Rankin, d. D., formerly
chaplain Of the Senate confirmed all that
Mr.. wilkinson had said and cited many
other cases that had come under his
notice where Warmers Safe Cure had re-
stored the health OF man and women
suffering from Bright's disease. Con-
gresham Belden, of New York, Senator
Bruce, Mr.. Egleston, of the Treasury
Department, Senator Blackburn and
others, all united in similar statements.
Wherever | went found the testimony
the same. 1t was generally admitted
that the strains of life were wearing, but
it 10 universally conceded that the over
coming this condition, for strengthening
the vitality, toning the health and pre-
longing the life. nothing had ever been
known equal to the great remedy have
above described.

claims that libby did him q great in
juetice In having him prosecuted, as he
fed the Englishman for MANY weeks.

The committee on streets reported
that the expenses of opening CASTELAR,
street into Bellevue avenue would be as
follows: Damages for right of way,
$8675 20; sundry expenses, including
salaries OF commissioners, $lI93 l5.
The street grading will probably cost
$4,000; but, as there is q good deposit of
gravel in the hill to be cut through in
opening the new street, the cost of
grading may be materially reduced.
The committee on light and water was
instructed to make another effort to
have an electric light placed at the in
tersection OF Bellevue and Beaudry sv-
enues.
