HUMAN SKULL FOUND.
But There Seems TO Be No WAY to
Identify It.

SANTA Rosa. Dec. 2S.-DepuIy Sheriff
DOugherty has in his possession a human skull
found in The bed Of Santa Rosa Creek here,
about which there is much speculation. The
skull has been examined by number of physi-
clans. who give it as their opinion the person
TO whom it belonged has not been dead much
over year. Some OF the tissues are in fairly
good state OF preservation. Many believe the
skull Is that OF a Chinese gambler named All
Sam, who about TWO years ago shot and killed
another Chinaman named Wing Lee in China
town here and then Disappeared. No trace has
been found OF Sam since, and many believt d
he was murdered by The friends of Lee The
night he killed the latter. IL is believed Sam
was Killed, his head was hacked from The body
and thrown into the creek, while The BODY was
buried elsewhere. Others believe The skull was
that OF a pack-pedder who mysteriOusly disap-
peared from these parts over two years ago,
and who many believed was murdered for his
money. Most people think, however, the SIX ull
Is that of All Sam, as the head, they say. must
have been that OF Monaghan. The rest of the
body has not been discovered.

THE LABOR COUNCIL.
Members Asked for Aid for the Rail-
way Union,


w. W. Craig, secretary of the local
branch of the American Railway Union,
appeared before the Labor Council last
evening for the purpose Of soliciting addi-
tional financial aid with which 20 carry on
the defense in the conspiracy cases now
pending before Judge Morrow in the
United States District Court arising out Of
the recent strike.
He said that the union was under great
expense in maintaining its stand. and that
the funds which had recently been con-
tributed were absorbed mostly in support
ing the families of those whom the South
ern Pacific refused to reinstate IN their
former positions.
These men, he maintained, have ex-
perlenced the greatest difficulty in secur-
ing work from the fact that they are
branded by the corporations spoilers, who
dog their footsteps and manage 10 make
every application tor work fruitless.
The principal feature Of the present
difficulty, he said, lies in the TWO cases
which are now being heard Should these
men be convicted nothing would be left
for the remaining 253 defendants but 10
plead guilty TO the charges aud submit to
Imprisonment in San Quentin for at least
four years, which is the limit of the SEN
tence TO be imposed.
On motion of the delegate from the
Sailors Union the committee on securing
funds was instructed TO visit the various
unions affiliated with the council and urge
the necessity OF subscribing toward the
defense of the men now on trial

RAILROAD NOMENCLATURE.
Title Does Not Always Show Where
the Road Begins and Ends.

1t might be supposed that railroads which
bear usually geographical names would show
by their titles what points they connect. but
there are many exceptions in This respect and
some OF them are surprising. The ST. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad, for instance, might be
supposed to run from ST. Louis TO San Fran
cisco. Actually il runs 327 miles west of ST..
Louis. The Minneapolis and ST. Louis Rail-
road would appear TO run from Minneapolis 10
st. Louis. 1t actually runs from Minneapolis
70 Angus, Iowa. about bali way to ST. Louis.

run from Omaha 10 ST. Louis, but from Omaha

further east. I he Toledo, ST. Louis aud Kan
sas City Railroad Tor "Cloyer Leaf,'' rs it is
more generally called runs from Toledo to ST.

run from Toledo 10 Peoria, but from the In
diana State line 10 Warsaw. III.

road Tor Nickel Plate as il is universally cailed)
does not run from New York To Chicago and St

Significance of the Fell-Street
Sewer Decision.
PRoPERTY-owNERs PROTECTED.
Judge Levy Confirms the Sales Made
at Recent Auction of Real
Estate.

There has been but very little business
in real estate for several days. and agents
have had chance to direct attention to
accounts and strike off balances for the
year that is now drawing to a close.
The holiday time has diverted thoughts
from investments, or buying and selling
city lands. and the heavy rains have not
been conductive to activity. So the mar
ket has been in a condition of lethargy
and devoid of interesting events, with pos
sibly al exception or two.
The agents take it as n matter of course,
and in doing so understand that nothing
short of unusual excitement could stir up
interest just now. That the condition is
merely temporary and can be no possible
criterion Of the market there is no doubt
whatever. The year has beens or more
correctly before the holidays set in, clos
ing quite satisfactorily. Some well-in-
formed brokers claim that 1894 is winding
up in real estate circles better than 1898
or 1892. and state further that prospects
for next year are very encouraging.
As for the years business it is believed
when totals are reached it will compare
favorabiy with last year, if not slightly
better. Conservative estimates at this
date place the total at S14, 100000 10 S15,-
100000.
The decision of the Supreme Court, in
validating the Fell-street sewer ordinance
and thereby making it impossible to col
lect assessments on the contract, Is mat
ter of great importance to real estate in
terests in general This sewer cost S134-
600, against repeated protests of property
owners within the assessment district
About half that amount remains outstand-

are now relieved of tax of something like

in its bearing. on other big jobs of similar
