men entered the abode of a Chinese vegetable
vender and his two companions in the vicinity
of Spadra, for the presumed purpose of rob
berry. The Acknowledged representatives OF the
Flowery Kingdom resented the unlawful pro-
ceeding, and in the melee all three were hurt,
one Of them very seriously, being ,slashed on
the side of the abdomen until the bowels pro-
truded. One OF the Cinnamon, however, sue
ceeded in taking the money from the belt OF
his friend and running off with it, thus

CHARACTER IN sCRAWLS..
It Ii Fad to Describe the Writer
from His Writin0A
Some Salient Points Given ny Thoso who
Profess to he Expefts-Daily Cor r
respond~nce Rendered Moro
Interesting.

fashionable fad just now is char
acter-reading from handwriting, and it
is really astonishing what clever hits,
in the way of personal sltits, an expert
in that line frequently deduces from
half sheet of note-paper covered with
tho writing of the person whose vir-
tues and foibles are under discussion,
says the New York Tribune. Whether
it is chance or actual knowledge it is
impossible to say, for these wizards of
society are very loath to communicate
their methods, and take pleasure in
cnshrouding themselves in, mystery as
much as possible, recognizing the fact
that to impress people with their wis
dom and to keep up their prestige they
must affect the occult.
While the majority of character
readers confinc themselves simply to
the salient characteristics expressed by
the writing, some go even further and
profess to read past events by the
writer's method of combining his let
tiers and words. This, however, is of
course mere jugglery-but that Il GER
tain amount of ones disposition and
character is lcgiblc to those who read
between the lines" seems to be almost
an acknowledged fact. Certainly,
when one hears a clever exponent of
art give brief synopsis OF the differ
ent distinguishing qualities that he
sees expressed in a handful of notes
and letters. and one recognizes many
of the pcculiarities and qualities which
are mentioned, it is impossible not to
feel interested. Many of the deduc-
tions drawn are wonderfully true; and,
after all, when one considers that the
written characters are direct emana-
tiOnS from the brain, it seems plausi-
ole enough theory thai these queer lit
tie Shapes and combinations that we
call letters and words should mean
much more than at first meets the eye
"IIow can / tell?" said one of these
experts, when intcrrogatcd about his
theories. Il cannot explain it to you;
it is the general appearance of the
writing, and it is almost impossible to
analyze. There are few salient
poiats, however, that can give you.
For instance, even letters-that is, a
word written so that the two copybooIt
lines, one above and one below, touch
the edges of each letter; this means
honesty. A hopeful disposition shows
itself in the tendency of the lines to
go upward. The way people cross
their is is very indicative indeed;
where there is Il firm stroke with u sort
of slight hook at the end, it means te-
nacity of purpose and will power. Ex-
ecutive ability is often shown by the
words running themselves out into q
sort of scrawl, but the merest devia-
ton will often change the meaning of
one line into quite another character
istic, so that it is quite impossible for
anyone to understand all the various
shades of mcn"i-~ unless he has
studied the subject for long while.
But when you do understand it more
or less, and can discover the hidden
meaning of it, it is quite wonderful
how interesting ones daily correspond
ence becomes - far more than the
writer ever dreams Of"

Ball said he was entitled to. Ball offered

told him to go off, as his wife was un-

and had the pistol in his hand been in

killed, as the former had every advantage
until the latter secured his rifle.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 1S.-C. c. Pown-
ing of Reno, New, is in the city, and in
an interview tonight stated that SEN
ator John P. Jones had indicated his
future course to his friends. He says
that Jones has not joined the Populists,
but has gone over to the Silver party of
Nevada. In the meantime Jones will
disregard the demand of the Republican
State Committee that he resign at once.
because that would give Governor Col
cord an opportunity TO appoint Repub-
lican as Jones' successor. For that rea-
son he will wait until the Nevada Leg
islature meets and then resign, offering
himself as a candidate to serve out his
own uneXplred term.
Powning predicts the success of the
entire Silver party ticket, and says that
Jones' reelection Will be an indorse-
ment of his course. Jones' term will ex-
pire in two years, and there will prob
ably be no serious opposition to his can
didacy.

luton of the Nevada Republican State

Mrs. Anna a. Pratt, who died few
months ago. shortly after the decision
was rendered in the famous family squab-
bic over the guardianship of her person
and estate, was commenced in the Pro-
bate Court to-day. The late Mrs. Pratt
left an estate estimated to be worth $780,
900 at least, and an Geographic viii, dated
April 2S, 1881. By its terms she named
as her executors Mrs. Louisa c. Cross
her sister; Charles Z. Pratt, her son, and
Mrs. Lucy G. Goodspeed, her daug hter
Charles p. Pratt subsequently died. and a
codicil was attached June 3, 1880, to the
effect that in the event of the mar
riage of Kate \. Pratt, her sons widow
the $4,000 left to her in the original
will was to be given to her children.
This document Is contested by Mrs.

heirs of Charles p. Pratt, deceased, who
contend that at the time said will was
executed Mrs. Pratt was under duress

LIGHTING OF RAILwAR CARS.
New System to be Adopted by the
Southern Pacific Company

New System to be Adopted by the
southern Pacific Company
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1S.-A new sys-
tenn for lighting railway cars, which has
been in use on many of the Eastern roads
for some time, will soon be adopted by
the Southern Pacific Company. Under
the new system each car will be supplied
with a cylinder containing crude petro-
leum in sufficient quantity to generate
enough gas to meet the requirements
during trip.
The first experiment with this method
of lighting was made last night at the
Oakland yards with one OF the mail
coaches of the Central Pacific Division,
which had been fitted up for that purpose.
The light was thoroughly tosted and
worked with perfect satisfaction and with
far better results than derived by the use
of the coal-oil lamps now commonly used
or gasoline, which is used on some of the
roads running out of Chicago.
1t is the intention of the Southern Pa
citic Company TO introduce the new sys-
tenn on all the mail coaches OF It's road as
rapidly as the work can be done, and if it
is found to work as we'll as it did in the
test passenger coaches will also be lighted
in the same manner. Petroleum gas is
already being used on some of the latest
models of Pullman cars.

front of the tract, while at the same time
a steady flow of oil is pouring into hastily
constructed tank. The flow of gas from

struck in Southern California, and indi-
Gates that there is a strong gas belt under
