Sentence of Death Reversed BY the Su-
preme Court-Nordstrom to Hang.
OLYMPIA, Wash. Dec. 30.-The supreme
court today filed opinions in two muir
der cases that have attracted general
attention of people in this state. One
is the case of Pecani, an Italian, in
Pierce county, found guilty of murder
in the first degree and the death SEN
tence imposed. Pecani's gallows were
erected when the courts interviewed.
The court today ordered the judgment
and sentence set aside and appellant
discharged, as in the opinion of the
court the chain of circumstances, If
such they can be called, were reason
ably consistent with the Innocence of
the accused, and that the most that was
established by them was the probability
of guilt.
The other case was that of the state
VS.. Nordstrom. This case became noted
for the inge nuity of a point raised in
the supreme court oy the prisoners
counsel that under the federal constitu-
tion the prisoner was to have the charge
against him presented oy an Indictment
found by grand jury instead Of infor-
nation by the prosecuting attorney.
The court stated that the United States
did not pretend to regulate prosecutions
for offenses against state laws, and the
judges could see no reason for depart
ing from the opinion on this subject ex-
pressed in the former case and there
fore directed affirmance of judgment.

MlpWlNTsR FAIR OPENS.
Great Crowd of People but No For
NAL Ceremonies.


SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-The midwin-
ter fair was informally opened this
morning. There were no opening ex-
ercises, as it has been decided not to
formally dedicate the fair till it is COM
plete. The opening was greeted with
much enthusiasm and ticket-takers had
difficulty in admitting the visitors as
fast as they came. Everywhere was
the hustle and the confusion of the
inal preparation in getting exhibits in
place, putting finishing touches on the
buildings, matchmaking roads, and
completing the landscape gardening
effects.
The sites selected for the fair is in
the heart Of the Golden Gate park, and
comprises about go acres.
among it's attractions the fair will
include many of the best features OF
the Columbian fair, a considerable
number of foreign exhibitors having
agreed to forward their Chicago dis
PLAYS.
Hon. NJ. H. De Young, proprietor OF
the San Francisco Chronicle, and first
vice president of the Columbian Ma
tional commission, is president and
director general of the California ex
position, while Hon. Alexander Bad
lam is secretary.

Free Coinage Measure by ldaho's
Congressional Representative.
WILL FORCE RECOGNITION
Accepting silver for Import Duties but
Only From Nations That Adopt
Similar Coinage Law.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Representative
Willis Sweet of Idaho has completed the
details of bill that seems to meet the
universal approval of the advocates of
silver coinage.
1t is not of spontaneous origin, hut
the result of mature elaboration and
conferences with silver producers of
the west. 1t is not antagonistic to the
Chandler proposition, which is also re-
garded with nigh favor among silver
men, except that its contamination is
too remote to be of practical benefit at
this time.
Mr.. Sweet is endeavoring to induce
the coinage committee to stand sponsor
for his bill, but If this is not done he
will himself introduce 1t and assume
full responsibility for It's vigorous ad-
vocac7 In this he will have the earnest
support of many of the ablest free coin
age men in both branches of congress.
The bill provides for the free coinage
of silver in the United States in the
ratio of 16 to 1, or whatever may be
agreed upon as a just and fair PROPOSE
Iicn. This coinage shall be receivable
as legal tender for all debts, public and
private. The only exception is that
silver shall be receivable for import
duties only from nations that shall
adopt a similar free silver coinage
measure. In other words, nations that
adhere TO the single or gold standard
must pay import duties in gold, while
nations adopting the double standard
shall have the option of paying in either
gold or silver at pleasure.
Some ultra-silver champions have ad-
Vised Mr.. Sweet to put the proposition
even stronger than this-absolutely
prohibiting importations from countries
that refuse to recognize silver-but he
believes that his measure, as above out
lined, will answer the purpose intended
and compel all nations TO adopt the
double standard.
Information concerning this new
measure has not been given to the rep
resentatives of daily papers, as Il was
desirable to make no publicity of its
provisions until the coinage committee
should decide whether or not it would
approve and introduce the bill. This
is, therefore, the first publication of one
of the most important propositions likely
n came mn for consideration during
the present session of congress.

This Plan Adopted to Increase the
Revenues.
CARRIED BY ONE VOTE
Tax on Whisky Increased 10 Cents Gal
Ion, While the Tax on Playing
Cards Has Been Reduced.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Advocates of
the individual income tax proposition
were triumphant at the meeting of the
democratic members of the ways and
means committee this afternoon.
Eleven members were present when
the final meeting was held at the treas
ury department at o'clock. Issue was
Joined by two propositions, one to levy
a tax of per cent against individual
incomes over $4, 900 and against net in
comes from corporations; and the sec
ond proposition, offered as substitute
bv Mr.. Cochran of New York, to tax
incomes from corporations per cent.
and inheritance per cent, TO place
tax of 10 cents on whisky and restore
sugar to the dutiable list at half cent
a pound The vote on Cockrans substi-
tute proposition resulted in its defeat
Z to 4. The original proposition then
carried py vote of to 5. 1t was also
decided to increase the whisky tax 10
cents a gallou-from 80 cents to $1-to
be levied against whisky in as well as
out of bond. Upon representation that
this increase would work an undue hard
ship to owners of whisky in bond, it
was decided to extend the bonded period
from three TO eight years. The tax on
playing cards, at one time fixed at 6
cents pack, was reduced cents, and
the contemplated tax on perfumes and
cosmetics was discarded. There is no
increase made in the tax on cigars, but
the increase on cigarettes of 81 per
thousand was allowed to stand. The
committee estimated that the tax on
incomes from corporations and individ-
uals Corporations being treated as in
dividuals) will raise $40, 900, 900, $12 ,OOO,-
600 from corporations and $4,000, 900
from individuals. The increase from
the whisky tax, it is estimated, will give
an additional revenue of $4,000, 900.
The proposed tax on inheritances, which
it was believed would obtain in case the
proposition for individual income failed,
was not deemed necessary.

PALERMO, Dec. 3t.-At Castelretrano
a large body of roadmakers attacked
the octroi station, burned the sentry
boxes and set fire to the octroi offices,
destroying all the archives. Citizens
took refuge In their residences and bar
ricaded the windows and doors. The
mob broke into the wine shops, and in
a maddened condition broke open the
prison and liberated the prisoners, who
iolned the mob in further excuses. The
mob then attempted to destroy the resi-
dences of the mayor, bankers and the
posrofice. The town is practically in
the hands Of the rioters. The local po-
lice force is utterly unable to cope with
the mob. The houses Of a number of
citizens were broken into and the occu-

A HoRRIFYINc DISCOVERY.
Whole Family Supposed to Have Been
Accidenfly Poisoned.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. lone of the
most horrifying discoveries was made
this morning when AL Brown, the SON
in-law of George w. Read, manager of
the Long Bell Lumber Company, broke
into the home of the latter aud found
Read, clad only in his night clothes,
sitting dead in a chair before hot
stove, fed by natural gas. The body
was in an advanced stage of decompo-
sitien. Edith Scott, a domestic of the
family, was lying dead on the floor of
her room, and Mrs. Read and her 5-year-
old son were in bed, the boy dying and
the mother unconscious.
The terrible tragedy is shrouded in
mystery. Many theories are current
as to the cause; one being asphyxiation,
another accidental poisoning, another
foul play. The fact that two gas stoves
in the house were burning at full force
practically explodes the theory of as
phyxiation and the fact that no bruises
were found on either person renders the
murder theory almost incredible, leav-
ing accidental poisoning as the most
probable cause None of the family
was seen later than Saturday evening,
leaving no doubt that Read and the
domestic had been dead SO hours before
discovered. Every room in the house
was intensely hot, and there being nc
decomposed bodies of the dead were
sitting.

HAPPY RESULT OF HUMANITY.
A Dark Cloud Lifted From the Lives OF

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 31.-Several weeks
ago John DeBoye filed habeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Winters to
secure the release of his wife from the
insane hospital, the superintende hav-
ing refused to release her because she
was dangerous patient. DeBoye had
been married but year and he evinced
so much solicitude for his young wife
that the court at once took deep inter-
est in him. In answer TO Judge Win
ters' questions De Boye admitted that
his wife had tried to do herself harm
but said that he was able TO provide for
her in private sanitarium, where she
would be well cared for. The judge
called the attorneys aside and told them
that he had determined to grant the
writ, saying that so many married peo-
pie came before him asking for divorce
that when a man wanted to have his
wife with him his desire should be graft
fed. The woman was released and TAX
en- TO a sanitarium, and Judge Winters
was notified a short time afterward that
she was a mother, her mind fully restor-
ed and that her child had been named

Jealous Catholic and a working girl,
highly respected by everybody who
knew her.
Detective Walters has carried around

notifying them not to trus his wife on
his account. Friday morning Hersch-
field left for the east on the Northern
Pacific and his destination is not known.

writ Of habeas corpus prepared and
intended to ask the district Judge for a
writ directed TO Mrs. l.. H. Herschheld,
wife of her husbands brother, directing
her TO produce the body Of Aaron
Herschfeld, believing that her husband
was kept from her by the influence of
the older Mrs. Herschfeld, bnt learning
| positively that her husband had left
| town, she abandoned this purpose. 1t
is said she now proposes to sue L. II.
Herschfeld and vile for alternating the

PORTLAND, Jan. 1.-Receiver Hadlev,
receiver of the Oregon Pacific, has sent
his unconditional resignation to Judge
Fullerton. The judge, only day or
two ago, decided to continue Hadley as
receiver until February. Probably his
criticism of Hadley's management is
the cause. 1t is supposed that Miller,
clerk of the railroad commission, whom
the employees ask to be appointed will
be his successor.

BOISE, Idado, Dec. 23.-The figures
of Idaho's metal production for 1898,
prepared By Alfred Oe6, cashier Of the
Boise City National bank for Wells,
Fargo & Co., are as follows; Cold
81, 645 900; silver, s1,5O2 900; lead,
sl75, 600; total, So, 922, COO. The figures
Of last year are: Gold, S1,79O, 600;
silver, SO ,79S 600; lead, 50 As 900; total,
ST, 0G3, 900 Lead is figured at SO so this
year, last year 81. Silver at 70 cents
this year, at 81 last year. The decrease
for the year is largely in the Ceur
d'Alenes, where the mines have been
closed down much of the time even
more so than last year. The produc
tion of that section last year under the
adverse conditions created by the
labor trouble was So, 42S, 500, while for
the year just closing it was only ST.
375 900. The closing of mines carrying
silver, mainly with some gold, has
largely reduced the gold production,
but It has partly been compensated
for by the opening of placer ground in
a great many localities, which hereto
