GARDINER, June 15.-(Special. Fine
weather and good grounds favored the ball
game at Berrys field, this afternoon, be-
tween the Randolphs and the High School

WIMAN GUILTY.
Took Jury Only Two Hours to
Find a Verdict,
Wiman Completely Overcome at the
Announcement.
Still Denies GuiIt-Says He Was Psrseeuted
and Not Prosecuted.

New YORK, June l5.-Judge Ingrsbam
| charged the jury in the Wimsn case today.
| He said that the attempt of the counsel of
| the defence to make the jury believe the
judge and jury antagonistic was mistake.
He said the jury must disregard everything
but the facts brought out on the witness
stand. The reported charity of the defend.
ant had nothing Whatever to do with the
case, nor had Mr.. Dun anything to do
with the prosecution. The family of the
state of New York were prosecuting the
case and no one else.
Said the judge, at is not improper for
me to speak of this fearful greed for gold
that is one of the marked characteristics of
the age. Men are not content to make
money in q legitimate way. They mus,
speculate and until they are forced to do
crime to get money. They 60 from bad to
worse, until they end in prison."
Justice Ingraham then read the law in
regard to forgery, and added that in signing
the name of Bullinger on the back of the
check Wiman had come within the statute,
but he was not guilty of forgery unless the
intent to defraud is perfectly clear. Jus.
tice Ingraham said that in putting the
money to his own account he defrsuded not
only X. G. Dun & Co., but +. W. Bullin-
ger, against whose account $4,000 was
charged. Justice Ingrsham briefly went
over the facts of the case as presented.
| He ended by saying: "Gentlemsn, it now
rests with you to decide whether the check
was signed with intent to defraud. That
alone must determine your verdict. Both
have stern duty to perform, and we must
that duty regardless of future conse.
quences."
Gen. Tracy asked to have the jury
charged that if Wiman' believed he was
really partner of the firm, the writing of
the check was not forgery.
Justice Ipgraham denied the application.
Gen. Tracy made many other similar re-
quests, but all were denied.
The jury retired at 2.34, and at 4.30 p.
M. returned to the court room. The fore.
man of the jury, George Murray of Hotel
| Sherwood, an old friend of the defendant,
was much affected, and was actually weep.
ing when he delivered the verdict, guilty
with strong recommendation for mercy.
| The other jurors would not look at the pris-
oner.
As soon as the verdict was announced
Mr.. Wiman fell back in his chair with a
groan. In a few minutes Erastus Wiman
| started for the Tombs. Justice Ingrahan
| adjourned court until Wednesday morning
when Mr.. Wiman will be sentenced. The
penalty is imprisonment for not more than
10 years in state prison, there being nc
fixed minimum penalty.
After hearing the verdict Mr.. Wiman
| said: There's nothing I can say. Ny
case will of course be appealed. l am not
guilty, and l did not intend to defraud any.

He made a careful inspection OF the

1T Is our Intention, said Major Nc

this branch Of our system We have
done away with the superintendent OF

THE Day IN THE HOUSE.
Opposition to the Southern Paciflc's
Railroad Claim


washington, August 15.-Scarcely a
ripple of interest was excited in the
house today. The senate bill to ex-
tend the time for constructing a rail-
road bridge across the Columbia at
Vancouver, Washington, was among the
bills presented Some interest was
caused by the reading Of resolution
offered by Black reciting the depletion
of the gold in the treasury, and in
structing the coinage committee to re-
por. bill for the proper "use and
avaiP of the silver in the treasury,
and instructing the rules committee to
report rule for its prompt considera-
tion. 1t went to the box in the reg
ular order. The conference report on
the general deficiency hill announced
an agreements on all amendments but
one-the appropriation of $l.SOOOOO "a
pay final judgments of the court OF
claims in favor of the Southern Pacific
Railroad company. The report was
agreed to with the reservation ofNthlf
one item. Mcguire delivered vigotouf
speech in opposition to the payment OF
$1.SOO.OOO to the Southern Pacific. He
maintained the company was not a
company at all, In the true sense OF
the word, but was simply the agency OF
u co-partnershlp existing between four
men--Huntington. crocker Stanford
and Hopkins. He did not think It was
right that the government should pay
this claim while there was due the gov
ernment from this company, as sue
cessor of the Central Pacific, the sum
Of $77,O0O,O00. The four men mentioned
he said, had diverted from the assets
of this company. which were subject 3,
statutory lien in favor Of the gov
ernment, s62OOO,OOO by means of fraudu-
lent contracts with themselves on ac-
count of construction. Henderson de-
Tended the justness of the claim. The
house adjourned till tomorrow, when
the debate will be continued.

rRAcks 40 BE ELEVATED.
I'wo Chicago Companies Will Begin
Next Week

Chicago. August l6.--EAlrly next week
the WORK OF elevating the tracks OF the
Lake shore and Micnigan southern ana
the CnlAgo, ltocil island ahd racine
rallroads wiil begin just south IF me
crossing of the st. Charles Air Line
at Sixteenth street. Ex-City Engineer
L.. IL Clarke has been placed In charge
Of the work by both roads, Tor as lar
as sixty third street the two roads oc-
cupy practically the same right of way,
ana their tracks will go up together.
A few days ago the companies
clinched their acceptance OF the revised
track-elevation ordinance, which was
passed by the city council July z, by
paying 70 the city 100000 toward any
liabilities for land or business damages
which may be incurred by the city
by the passage of the ordinance. All of
the plans and specifications for re-
tanning walls and bridges over the sub
ways have been prepared.
Chief Engineer Clarke said yesterday
that he would have the tracks up to
the elevated grade between the st.
CharlessA Air line and 2Sd street inclusive
before winter, or seven blocks of the
mile which under the ordinance must
be elevated within one year Of the be-
ginning of the work.
From 18th street to 22d street a long
retaining wall is to be built on the east
side of the right of way to prevent the
sand in the slope of the elevated struc-
ture from running upon adjacent prop
erty. Masons will begin to lay this
wall Just south of 10th street next week,
and the first shovelful Of earth which
is lifted at that point will begin the
actual constructive work of elevating
all the railroad tracks in the city, for
all have sgnified their readiness to
place their rights of way on stilts as
soon as the conditions are favorable.
The feasibility and economy Of elevated
tracks were practically demonstrated
by the Illinois Central railroad, and
since that road put its tracks in the air,
every railsdad chief engineer in Chica-
go has been working on track elevation
for his road.

WILL II EVER BE?
The Gable to Tillamook Light still Re-
mains Unlaid.


"Wheh is the 1illamoolS cable to be
laidr Is the oft repeated question one
hears on all sides these days.
It was just such a question as the
above what an Historian representative
propounded to gentleman connected
with the lighthouse service yesterday,
and his reply will perhaps enlighten
not few who are interested in know
ing when the world will be connected
by wire with the isolated rock that
stands out mile or more from the
rugged headland a few miles south OF
the Columbia River bar.
IF the cable Is not laid within the
next thirty days said the gentleman.
"it will probably not be put down.
I'm the first place. he continued,
"the cable that Is now at the buoy sta
tion is not a telegraph cable, but is
intended for telephone purposes only.
tsis far too light in weight to stand the
terrific sea that during the greater part
Of the year boils around the rock. Sew
eral attempts have been made 10 luy
the line from the rock, but In each in
stance 1t has been chopped Jff on Us
ragged sides, no way as yet having
been devised by which the cable could
be held free from the rock"
"Of course, there is no such thing as
1t being impossible TO lay the cable and
make 1t permanent. but II would uost
money, and the appropriations for thut
purpose only included the purchase OF
the cable. In my estimation, the most
feasible plan would be to secure a pipe
to the rock, running It some distance
from the edge. and carrying the cable
onto the rock through the tube. The
sane protection would have to be pro-
vided for the shore end of the cable.
Then, again, there would have TO be
life boat pressed into service during
the laying of the line. There certainly
should be cable connection made with
Tnlamook light. but the lightweight
cable now on hand should never be
laid, as it would be an absolute waste
Of time and money. In conclusion,
would say that the cable will probably
not be put down this year, as the sea-
son Ct good weather and calm seas
Is fast drawing to a close. but such q
thing may be done next year"
