TEWKSBURY'S CASE.
It Goes to Trial at Tucson Next
 Wednesday.
The Defendants Plea in Abatem ent missed-What If There
 Should Be an Appeal?

The plea in abatement in the case of the territory against Ed Tewksbury came up regularly for hearing last Fri day at Tucson where it was taken on a change ofvenue, upon the demurrer in- terposed by the plaintiff to the plea. The defendant claims that the grand jury by which he was indicted in this county was irregularly constituted. The original grand jury summoned for that term of court had among it's num- Der six or eight persons who were dis qualified from the case because of knowledge and bias.
 The grand jury acted on all cases be- fore it except that of Tewksbury. Upon reaching it the jurors disqualified were discharged by the court and others sum- moned to replace them. This plea in abatement was tried in the Maricopa county court, before Judge Gooding, and the plea was overruled.
 Day before yesterday when the case was called Judge Lowell, the incoming district attorney, and Attorney General Heney, by invitation of District At torney Hereford, participated in it. Judge Joseph Campbell appeared for Tewksbury.
 At o'clock in the afternoon alter the presentation of authorities, the matter was finally settled by the de- cision of Judge Bethune sustaining the demurrer to the plea, which in effect was holding that the indictment was properly found. Tewksbury was then arraigned, but refused to plead, doing what in law is known as standing mute." The court thereupon, as is made his duty in such cases, ordered

sR6RTH FORTY MILLION. Death in San Francisco of
 James c. Fair. Left Will ReYoklng Former Disin-
 heritance of His Son
 Charles.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29.-EX-Senator James G. Fair died suddenly last night at the Lick House. His son Charles was the only relative at his bedside. His will divided his fortune between his three children, Mrs. Herman Oel- richs, Miss Virginia Fair and Charles. It was filed in the superior court this morning. The will disposes of an es- tate, the value of which is estimated at $40.000,OO0 Under it's provisions 8 greater portion of the estate falls to persons now living outside of California. The biggest slices will go to two daugh- ters living n New York and other rela- tives residing in Iowa. Though Sena- tor Fair was popularly supposed to have more ready money than any other San Franciscan, he made very few spe- cific bequests of money. The only gifts of public nature are three aggregating $125, 1000 to the orphan asylums of San Francisco.
 James Graham Fair was born near Belfast, Ireland, December 8, 1881. He emigrated with his parents to the United States in 1S43, and settled in Illinois, received good education and in 1649 removed to California and en- gagged in mining. In 1860 he removed to Nevada ani became interested in valuable silver mines. He was elected a senator of the United States from Nevada for the term of six years, from March 4, 1881.

DRIVEN FROM HOME"
"East Lynne" by the Payton Com
 pany Tomorrow Night.

The Payton company gave two per- formaEces at the opera house yesterday, and considering the condition of the weather both were we'll attended. At the evenings performance the play was Charles Reade's dramatization of Ten nyson's "Dora," called "Driven From Home," and it was produced in a splendid way. Both Miss Keene and Mir Pavton as "Dora" and Farmer Allen" had the character of parts that suit them best. The sweet womanI- ness of ''Dora's" nature was beautifully shown by Miss Keene, all that is charm ing, true and loving in that sweetest character of contem porary poPey was accented and made prominent by her. The character is not one which requires simplicity and gentleness, the deeper emotions hidden, held in caeck, re- vealed only by look or gesture, and this is the hardest work an actress ever encounters. In thls line lies Miss Keene's best work, as her performance last night demonstrated. Farmer Aliens" character is diametrically opposed to that of Dora" Bluff, loud talking, iron willed and iron hearted In handling this Mir Paytou used his greatest power, yet st lines drawing on his own vein of unctious and spontaneous humour, and lending to the character a measure of comedy greater than one would think possible. The support of the other mem bers of the company was adequate and competent. The evenings enter tainment was closed with ''Lallvpop," roaring farce.
 On Monday evening the company will offer "East Lvnne", and those who saw Miss Keene in Mother and Son" can form some idea of how well she will appear in the strong, deep emotion of Mrs. Woods we'll known play. New Years night "Hazel Kirke" will be played and following in addition to that will be shown, for the first time here, The Living Pictures. This paper has the assurance of the manager Of the company that in these pictures nothing will be shown that has the slightest tinge of vulgarity, to even. the super sensitive.
 In these pictures the company uses all their own special scenery for back grounds, and the costumings are fac similes of those in the paintings Of which they are representations.

the plea of not guilty to be entered for the defendant, and the case was form erly set for trial on January 2.
 Anticipating the conviction of Tewks- bury and an appeal to the supreme court, an interesting question has been raised. Chief Justice Baker is plainly disqualified by reason of having been connected with the defense. It was claimed that Judge Bethune would also be disqualified by having sat as trial judge, thus leaving only two members of the court qualified to sit.
 Tucson attorneys, though, say that they have found a statute designed to meet such a contingency as would be presented by the appearance of Tewks- bury's case in supreme court and that Judge Bethune would not be disquali- fed.

SHORTENING THE JOURNEY
The Course of the Cave Creek Road
 to Be Changed.

to Be Changed.
 The Pennsylvania Irrigation com pany was yesterday given permission by the board of supervisors to make a change in the direction of the Cave Creek road at point two and one half miles north of the Phoenix mine. The The petition tor the permission was signed by the president of the com pany and numerous property owners in Phoenix and along the road.
 The point at which it is desired to make the change is on the site selected by the company for it's reservoir the dam will be built across the old road to height of 1S2 feet. At that point the road runs parallel with the stream and at an altitude slightly above the bed of it.
 It runs thence in northerly direc- tion about two miles and then turns to the east. It is proposed to carry 1t from the dam site in straight line in 8 northeasterly direction nearly three miles to intersect the road again, thus making it shorter and ob- taining at the same time better grade.
 Under the terms of the petition the company must complete the new line before it can obstruct that portion of it which it is proposed to abandon.

Cases ruled with stolen Goods.

LOWELL Mass, Aug. 23.-Mrs. Mary A. Hatch.
81 years Of age, widow of a newspaper compos-
itor, was in June taken into The Open Door"
a home for destitute girls. She came from BOs-
ton and brought with her four trunks, six bar
rels, and several cases OF goods, which were
stored in the attic OF the house. Mrs. Hatch
was taken to the Lowell General Hospital a
week ago, after giving Mrs. Clarke a bill Of sale
Of all the goods.
After Mrs. Hatch had gone the trunks were
opened and found 10 contain a varied stock OF
miscellaneous goods hAndkerchiefs, gloves,
stockings, ribbons, silver spoons, oyster forks,
and cutlery in plush cases.
The police inspectors were notified by Mrs.
Clarke, and Mrs, Hatch was questioned at the
hospital yesterday. After some preyarication,
she confessed that she stole the new goods from
stores In Boston. There WAS one gold ring
marked Aug. 20, 1882. which she says she stole
from a counter In a store, where 1t was laid by a
lady who was trying on gloves. A diamond
ring. she says, she found In a pOcketbOOk. which
she stole from a lady In the street. She con-
fessed, also, that she had been twice convicted
In Boston for stealing. She will be taken 10 the
State Almshouse at TeWkesbuTy to-day. Her re-

TWO BODIES IN EAST RIVER.
Both Arc Those or Former Inmate. or the
Black well,s Island AImshouse.

Frank Stewart, engineer Of the B~lackwells
Island ferryboat w. II. wickham, discovered
the body Of a man In the East River about 200
feet from the island shore on Tuesday afternoon,
The body, which had been In the water about
ten days, was that OF a man 40 years old. with
dark hair and moustache. and weighing $50
pounds. II was dressed In the costume worn by
the Wards Island Hospital patients.
Half an hour later a second body was found
a mile from the place where tho first body was
picked up. The second body was that Of q
woman 80 years old. and had apparently been
In the water a long time. 1t was dressed In the
costume worn by the occupants OF the Black
wells Island almshouse.
Notice was sent To the Coroner, but the bodies
were not taken to the Morgue until Wednesday
night: Accompanying them was a report from
one Of the deputies on the island, saying that
one was the body Of Mary Cannon. 80 years
old. who had been an inmate of the almshouse
since May, 1889. and fallen into the river. No
explanation was given, however. as to why the
matter had not been reported at the time OF the
woman's death, which occurred more than two
weeks ago.
The finding of the two bodies so close together
gave rise to the rumor that they were those Of
prisoners who had attempted 20 escape from the
Island. Both the man and the woman, how
sired. The buildings. OF which they were occu-
pants are nearly a mile apart. and II Is probable
that tho two never saw one another. IL is
thought that the man may have fallen into the
river while fishing from the sea wall which
runs along the shore near the hospital. There
were found. which may account for their drift.
