FAILED TO GET A VERDICT.
Henry Johnson Sues a Railroad 70
the Loss of a Finger.

the Loss of a Finger.
The suit Of Henry Johnson against the
Savannah, Florida and Western railroad
company was tried in the superior court
yesterday, and resulted in a verdict for
the defendant. Johnson was employed
by the road as brakeman. Nov. %. 1892,
he was coupling some cars on one of the
lines Of this road somewhere in Florida,
when, as he alleged, the train was sud
denly backed together and his finger so
badly mashed that ampuJatioE was found
necessary. The jury did not agree with
him, however, on the point that the COM
pany was negligent, and he lost his case.
He sued for 81 600 damages.

a number Of land owners Of the Buck
halter swamp district, of which he was
one, upon which a report was made about
two years ago. This was an area to be
drained after the Casey and Dundee
canals were completed. He said this sec

that the Casey and Dundee canals had
not been completed and Col Garrard
said be wanted as much as anything else

Peculiar Litigation Over the
Slain Woman's Legacy.
AN INQUEST is COMMENCED
Efforts to Find the Assassin Who
Shot John T. Meagher and
His Blind Wife.

PETALUMA, Jan. Acknowledging Off
GERS have not yet found a clew to the
assassin who seriously wounded John +.
Meagher and murdered his blind wife at
the Willows ranch Monday night. The
funeral of the slain woman will be held
tomorrow. Many with a morbid turn OF
mind visited the scene of the murder
yesterday and to-day.
Slight hopes were entertained this morn
ing for Meagher's recovery, but as his
mind is constantly wandering little reliance
can be placed on his incoherent accounts
of the horrible crime. His return to COM
plete consciousness is looked forward to
as the only means of ascertaning definite
clew that will lead to the identity of the
murderer.
Sheriff Allen arrived to-day and went
directly to the ranch. Meagher recovered
sufficiently to give the officers what is
thought to be clew, but as yet no arrests
have been made. An inquest was COM
menced at the City Hall this afternoon,
and adjourned at P. NJ until tomorrow.
Many witnesses were examined by Dis
trlct Attorney Seawell, but nothing of i'm
portance came to light. Startling develop
ments are looked for at the closing of the
inquest tomorrow. Fred Bryan. the priD-
cipal witness examined to-day, is nephew
of the murdered woman. The remainder
of the Bryan family and other relatives
will be examined tomorrow. Many are
confident the guilty party will be found
very soon.
The slain woman left considerable
property, and on the day she was muir

died in 1889 Mrs. Meagher was left a life
interest in a fortune of $4,000. After
that she had considerable trouble with her
brothers and sisters. An effort to break
the will was made without avail. About
two years ago she married Meagher. Re-
Gently new litigation commenced, which
was caused by Mrs. Meagher applying TO
the Probate Court for permission to mort
gage the estate for the purpose of paying
off some claims against the property.
The other heirs resisted the application,
and Judge Dougherty of Santa Rosa rem
dered a decision Monday denying the ap-
plicatlon.
Mrs. Nancy Meagher, the deceased.
was the daughter of Mrs Agnes Meagher
OF Petaluma, whose first husband was
James A. Hardin, who died in Ventura
County many years ago.
The other children left by the Hardins
are Robert Hardin, of Windsor; Elizabeth,
now Mrs. Bryan of Vallejo; Sophia NJ.
now Mrs. Kicker of O-oviIle; Francis A.
now Mrs. Adamson of San Francisco;
Mary j., now Mrs. Fowler of Salt Lake.
After Hardin's death his widow married
Thomas Meagher. and her blind daughter
Nancy lived with them. Mrs. Meagher
died November II, 1889, leaving an estate
worth $4,000, which was all bequeathe1
to Nancy for use during her lifetime. Ap-
plications to have the will set aside were
denied.
1t is owing to all this litigation that the
murder of the blind woman has caused so
| much excitement and public interest.

Sensational Elopement Case in

CARSON, Jan. 24-Some time ago Mr..
and Mrs. G. c. Small Of Douglas County
were divorced. Later they became recon-
ciled, and Mrs. Small consented without
the ceremony of remarriage to live with
Small and take care of the children.
Everything ran smoothly until one Jack
Smith came upon the scene and won the
affections of Mrs. Small. Smith and the
woman came to Carson Tuesday night and
were married by Justice of the Peace.
Tuesday morning early Small came to
Carson in search Of the clippers. He en-
deavOred to get warrant for the arrest of
Smith for stealing horses and a buck
board. This he could not secure, as the
offense was committed in Douglas County.
In the meantime MIR. and Mrs. Smith had
started for Genoa with the harness and
blackboard. Small started after them on
a horse. ca ching up with them at 1ume
south of town.
He threatened to shoot Smith with rifle
he had with him, but Smith jumped out
and got behind wagon containing other
people. Smith. not caring to run the risk
OF killing the wrong man, rode off to
Genoa, swearing vengeance. Smith and
wife then drove back TO Carson, where
Smith swore out warrant against Small
was attached by E. B. Rail for money due
from Small The woman claims the horses,
but admits Small owns the wagon. Deputy
Sheriff Ulrick left for Genoa yesterday
with the warrant for Small's arrest.

Speaker counted the members who rose
for and against the motion, announcing
that it was lost-15 to 90. The New York
men still had one more arrow in their
culver, and Cochran demanded the ayes

supporters, not sufficient to secure roll
call, and when the Speaker made the an
nouncement it lacked only twenty seconds
of the time for the House to take a recess.
In that time, amid roar of applause,
McMillin reported the internal revenue

FUN OVER IN UTAH.
Republican Senators Flee From the
Officers of the Law.


SALT LAKE, Jan. 24.-The Joint memoir
ial to Congress protesting against that
portion of the Wilson bill removing the
tariff from lead ores passed the House to-
day and was made special order in the
upper House. This branch is composed
of five Democrats and seven Republicans
but there were only five Republicans and
five Democrats present to-day, two Repub-
licans being absent.
The Republican members, seeing they
could not pass the memorial, absented
themselves from the chamber. with the ex-
cepton Of the President, and this left but
six members, one short of a quorum. The
Republican members ran through streets,
leaving their hats and coats behind, took
suburban trains and streetcars and sought
seclusion in every possible way. The ser
geant-at-arms and the Assistant United
States Marshal with fifty deputies, the
Sheriff with all his deputies and Chief of
Police with his officers, over 100 all told,
were immediately sent in pursuit, and
their services will cost several thousand
dollars. Up to 10 P. VI. no clew to the abb
sentees has been reported.
