JOHN SMITH ACCUSED OF KILLING
MRS. SILvRRIA sLUENAS.
Sheriff Cline Disagrsss with the Cor

With the Womaass Pc
Guitar Death.

Sheriff Cline will today file COM
plant sgsinst John Smith of Whining
ton, charging him with granddaughter in
having caused the death OF Mrs. Silveris
Luenas, an aged Spanish woman who
resided in a small cabin at that place.
The woman was found dead in her
cabin on April IL, when il was whispered
around that she had been killed by John
Smith, laborer employed On the wharf
at Wilmington. The coronsr's jury,
however, came to the conclusion that
she died from stroke of apoplexy.
This verdict was rendered upon the evil
dence OF DR.. Seamans, who held the
post mortem.
Ii turns out that none of the witnesses
who knew of Mrs. Luenas' illness were
present at the inquest and Sheriff Cline
has succeeded in securing considerable
evidence.
On April Sth Smith and another man,
who will be used IS witness, were eeen
to drive up to the woman's cabin.
Smith alightsd and entered, while tine
other man drove away. Soon after
Smith went into the house screams
were heard. and in her cries for help
Smiths name was men toned by the
woman.
The next morning she was found lying
upon the floor in nude state. She was
fast losing consciousness, but was able to
state that Smith had brutslly assaulted
her. Three days sfterward she died.
Smith has been confined in the county
Jail over two weeks on charge of bat
terry committed at Wilmington. He
served his time and was held on petty
larcency charge until evidence could be
got against him for the crime. Sheriff
Cline also has a Gaze of burglary against
him, as he is alleged to have broken
into the bakery OF aged John Hawkins,
who Was so brutally murdered and
robbed week after the woman's death.
1t Was at first Thought that Smith had
something to do with Hawkins death.

A FINE PAINTING.

The --latest Example of this Skill oi
Colonel Jsaks.
A portrait OF a lady OF this city is or
view at Sanborn & Wallis art store on
Spring street which is An admirable ex-
ample of the portrait painters depart
ment of art in its higher form.
The painting is by Col. Albert jerks,
and like most of that artists work, is
absolutely devoid of any of the mere
trieious methods used sometimes to at
tract the undiscerning and to distract
attention from artistic defects.
Colonel jerks always reproduces
faces with unwaveiing faithfulness. and
in so far as accuracy goes ID decid ed
realist. He would never have asked
Cromwell if he wanted his wart put in
his portrait, but woald have painted it
exactly. But the colonel ia more than a
reproducer of what face externally
presents; his art is go high, his tech
nique 40 developed, that portrait by
him effectively gives that sxpressiveneaa
to the subject that oharacterizes it in
life, and in which lies what is truly
called the art of portraiture, for at this
point photography utterly fails.
In the portrait in question this ex
pressiveness ia marked and ia excellent.
The values are preserved with remark
able skill, and the coloring is beyond
cavil. The work Is full of feeling and
simply as a painting is charming and
satisfactory to the eye of the casual
lover of good pictures, "a well as the
close observer and critic.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The produc-

promises to be OF more than ordinary
Importance from musical AID artistic
standpoint. The cast is perhaps the

lected from the local resources, and
more clearly proves the knowledge and
ability OF Mr.. Pyke in matters OF this
sort. The most praiseworthy perform

excellence than the former, and result

So ideal one, having ali the requisites,
grace. beauty and voice, rare combin-
etion nowadays. Mr.. Wood should find
most congenial rolls in Ralph RackRtraw,
the music being OF that order which
will give him plenty OF scope for the use
OF his robust aad manly voice.
Mr.. Pyke will appear as the captain,
aad it is almost needless to add that he
will undoubtedly prove to be the same
accomplished artist he was when here
at the head of his own company few
years ago. For what he has been and is
doing, he may be sure of warm well
come. The scenery which is being
painted for this production by Forrest

ton. The settings will be exceedingly
elaborate and artistic. The second act

Portsmouth harbor can be seen on the

effective, as all the new devices in stage

CLEARING OFFICIAL ABUSES SHOWN UP.

The grand jury yesterday handed in to
the superior court the second Install
ment of their report. 1t is very valu-
able document and will arrest the atten-
ton OF every taxpayer. 1t is devoted
principally to our city Offices, and shows
inexcusable recklessness. if not with
practices that are criminally corrupt.
The city tax collector is shown to have
been in the habit OF making loans of
the money in his custody to his deputies
and outside parties, and in oae instance
of quite a sum to mining company of
which he is a stockholdsr. This is an
altogether inadmissible if not criminal
abuse of his power az custodian of
the public funds. The ex-supsrintendent
are both shown to have conducted their
trusts in loose and reprehensible man
ner. Mr.. Hutchinson is in default to
the city and the city attorney is suing
his bondsmen to recover q much smaller
sum than has been wrongfully diverted
from it. Mr.. Watson is shown to have
accepted street work in mum be riess cases
that was fraud upon the city and a
swindle upon the property no lders.
transactions that involve dishonest
practices and smack of bribery are also
charged upon this -nlficar. There are
enough questionable practices exposed
in this Office to warrant the finding of
indictments. We shall recur to this
very interesting report in failure issue.
In the meantime it should be carefully
