lar Coincidence.
The preliminary examination Of John
Mcnamara, charged with the murder of
ex-bailiff Thomas Bashford. was held be-
fore Judge Low yesterday afternoon. 1t
was agreed between Prosecuting Attorney
Shackelford and Attorney Long for the
defendant not to examine any witnesses
but to read the testimony taken at the
Coroner's inquest 10 the court. The Judge
listened attentiyely to the evidence and
when it was all read Attorney Long
moved for a dismissal on the ground that
Mcnamara acted in self-defense and any
Jury would acquit him without a moments
hesitation The Judge agreed with this
view and dismissed the case. Mcnamara
was Immediately surrounded by his
friends and received their con gratulations.
By singular coincidence Lizzie Dewitt,
a young girl who made Bashford's ac-
quaintance while she was in the Eugenia
Home, in Berkeley, and lived with him
after the home was broken up Till he was
killed, was yesterday sent to the Magdalen
Asylum by Judge Joachimsen. She is
only II years of age and after Basbford's
death she went on a wild debauch. Judge
Campbell and his wife called the attention
of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children to her case and she
was arrested in Fourth-street resort.

PHASES OF PHARMACY.
Papers Read Before the Pharma.

ceutiCal Society-A Banquet.
At the semi-annual meeting of the Cali
fornia Pharmaceutical Society. held at the
college rooms, 113 Fulton street. last even
ing, the various phases of the pharma-
ceutical business was discussed by the
members. There was good attendance
and keen interest displayed In the pro-
ceedings.
After the transaction of routine business
President Frank T. Green introduced S. A.
Mcdonald. who read a paper containing
instructions as 10 the making of iodine
ointment. He was followed by Professor
w. NJ Searby, who gave short talk on
best method of disposing Of dead stock"
in drugstore He held that the demand
for powdered drugs. syrups and tinctures
had of late years decreased. and it was
time they ceased to figure so prominently
on the front shelves. They should be
relegated to the prescription-room, and
the store made attractive by displays OF
ornamental and rubber goods. instruments
and other articles which the modern drug
gist handles.
Pharmacist Mcneil of San Jose gave his
hearers some points regarding hard times
in connection with the drug business.
There were two reasons for the present de-
preston in drug circles. One was that
rates in certain medicines had been cut be-
low cost by some dealers, and the other
was that there was not enough business
ability displayed by some pharmacists.
They were too professional and did not
handle their goods with view to profit.
He advocated the policy Of druggists put
ting up their own prescriptions as far as
possible. They should also have a more
general cash system and not extend long
credits.
The following papers were also read
"Monograph on the Constituents of Ergot
of Rye" Professor w. Il. Wenzell; BIS
mutb Sub-gallote," Professor Frank T.
Green: solution of Chloride of Lime" :"
Instructor III. E. Besthorn; THE Drug
gists' Bogie Man." Charles M. Troppman.
The latter was humorous dissertation
on the illegible manner in which ply
sicians are prone to scribble their pre-
scriptions. He claimed that many of the
mistakes which pharmacists had made in
filing prescriptions had been caused by
the illegibility Of the writing in the pre-
scrptions. 1t was high time. he thought,
that pharmacists should demand of phy-
sicjans that they ceased writing prescrip-
tions which looked like a tangled-up
clothesline.
Richard Benzinger and C. F. Michsels
were elected mem bers of the society.
To-day will be Pharmacy day at the
Midwinter Fair. All the members of the
society will be there and spend the after
noon In visiting the various attractions.
In the evening they will hold banquet
in the roof garden Of the Model restaurant,
in the fair grounds.

LEFT HERE TO LOAD LUMBER
Her Destination Was Cowichan
and San Marcos Island.
NO vERIFIcATIoN oBTAINABLE.
The Schooner Took the First Load
of Lumber Sawed at the
Cowlchan Mill.

A private message from Guaymas re-
ceived last evening reports the loss of the
schooner Pioneer. belonging to the Simp-
son Lumber Company. on the eastern
shore of Lower California.
No verfcaton of the story could be OBJ
tanned by telegraph, as communication
with Guaymas and Mazatlan is suspended
after o'clock.
The Pioneer is three-masted schooner
of 397 tons net. She left here on the 18th
of last January for Cowichan to load lum-
Der for San Marcos Island. her charter
calling for a return load of gypsum.
The vessel left San francisco in COM
mand of First Officer Remmers, Captain
Hughes, her regular skipper, joining her
at Tacoma.
One strange thing in connection with
the wreck of the Poneer-if wrecked she
isis the fact that she took the first cargo
OF lumber ever sawed a. the C0wschaw
mill, a new numbering concern which
expected much from It's initial output.
Just before the Pioneer left port she
dropped into the stream to take on sew
eral tons Of dynamite. William Patrick,
her second officer. had a few days previ-
ously received his first appointment as a
mate and was delegated by the schooner's
owners to take her from the wharf to the
stream.
Prior to Patrick's maiden move as full
dedged ships officer he got into a contro-
versy with local newspaper man and
distinguished himself by blacking the
offending scribe's eyes. For this war
rant was sworn out for his arrest. He ap-
peared in court. but the complaining wit
ness did not, so the case was dismissed.
No information was received as to " here
the Pioneer is supposed to have struck or
whether any lives were lost.
Captain Hughes is we'll known In San
Francisco and is acknowledged firstclass
commander.
1t is thought likely that the vessel was
overtaken by one of the violent gales that
so often menace ships that navigate the
waters of the Gulf of California and driven
ashore.
The Pioneer was built at HoQuiam in
1886, and was considered good sea boat.
