A SAFE FERRY BUILDING,
Governor Budd Tells the Grand
Jury the Foundation Is
All Right.
THE SOLID EIGHT IN DANGER.
Beginning Of an Investigation Into
the Acts of the Alleged
Boodlers.

Governor Budd and the local grand
jurors had pleasant official and friendly
meeting at the secret session of the Grand
Jury yesterday.
Governor Budd voluntarily appeared be-
fore that investigating body to give his
ideas in regard to the REORGANIZATION
scandal and they conceded with the con-
illusions the grand Jurors had come to
after hearing all the evidence they could
obtain. In fact the views of the Governor
corresponded exactly with those of the
members of the Grand Jury who have per-
sonally examined into the present condi-
ton of the foundation.
Governor BuGd was the first witness be-
fore the jury. AS he told such a complete
story of the investigation into the ferry
foundation scandal he was not cross-exam-
ined to any extent. OF course, as the do
ings of a Grand Jury is a secret piece Of
work, not all that transpired could be
learned, but it is known that Foreman
Gagan did not attempt to cross-examine
the Governor in any unpleasant manner,
as he had threatened to do, because of the
little tiff between the Governor and him
self in regard to the summoDing of Pro-
fessors Marx and Soule by the Grand Jury
before they had finished their investiga-
ton.
Governor Budd told the Grand Jury he
had commenced his investigation of the
ferry foundation, as he believed it was his
duty to do so. He had received a large
number of communications from persons
who ayerred that the work was being done
improperly. He therefore thought there
must be something radically wrong, and
that he would be negligent if he did not
make an investigation.
He said he is satisfied that the founda-
ton is perfectly secure, though he had
not yet received the full report of Profess
sors Soule and Marx. lie said that there
may have been some trifing Irregularities
in the mixing of the cement, sand and
rock at first, but 1t was, nevertheless, a
piece of work which was satisfactorily per-
formed and above the average of similar

LIFE IN MEXICO.
Raising the American Flag on the
Very Top of Mount
OriZaba.

There was large audience at the last
meeting of the Academy of Sciences
to listen to an interesting lecture on
rotary in the Postofice in this City.
Mr.. Richardson was for seven years secre-
tary of the United States legation in Mex
leo, and during that time had an oppor-
tunity of studying the country, the people
and their customs.
The lecture he delivered was the same
as that which he gave before the
Society of Pioneers last March, and which
at the time was reported in full in the
CALL, but there were some additional de-
tails that were not given in the previous
lecture.
AS on the previous occasion, the lecture
was illustrated with a number of slides
thrown on the white wall of the lecture
hall by Samuel G. Partridge, several never
having before been shown. One was por-
trait of Macmillan and another portrait
of Benito Juarez. There were also num-
Der of slides representing pictures on ex-
hibition in the National Art Gallery of
Mexico.
During the lecture, Mr.. Richardson de-
seribed in a most graphic manner an
ascent he made of Mount Orizaba in COM
pany with representatives of two other
nations. Each carried the flag of his
country, and it was agreed that whoever
reached the apex first should plant his flag
there. Mr.. Richardson was anxious that
the flag of the United States should be the
one that should float there, so he put forth
all his energy, and reached the top of old
Orlzaba ahead of his companions. AS he
described how he unfurled old glory and
with an hurrah waved it on the top of the
mount, picture of the stars and stripes
was thrown on the wall, and the audience
showed its patriotism by loud and con-
tinued applause.
The lecture, new to the majority of those
present, proved most interesting to them,
while those who had heard it before were
glad that they had heard it second time.

DONALD ROSS CLEARED.
The Case Brought Against Him
for Betrayal SummariIy
Dismissed.
Judge Hunt Denounces the Plain
tiff for His Unfounded
Charges.

That there sometimes exists an utter
lack Of foundation for the most serious
charges was demonstrated in no uncertain
way yesterday in Judge Hunts court.
The case under consideration was that of
O. f. Dahlstrom VS.. Donald Ross of Ross
& Hewlett, commission merchants. Dahl
strom and his wife fell out and separated
in 1893, whereupon Dahlstrom was in
spired with the idea of charging Captain
Ross with betrayal in alternating the affec-
tons of his spouse. The latter is now tax
ing steps in Ukiah to obtain divorce from
her husband on the grounds OF extreme
cruelty and failure to provide. OF. Dahl
strom endeavored to secure $4,000 dam
ages from Captain Ross for his alleged
wrong.
The defendant encountered difficulty
from the outset yesterday, as the plaintiff,
Dahlstrom, expressed a disinclination to
pay the jury fees. But Captain Ross SAID
he was willing to shoulder the expense
himself in order that there might be no
Several dispositions by residents of Mendo-
cino County were then read. They af-
forded no damaging testimony against the
defendant, most of the witnesses simply
stating that Ross knew Mrs. Dahlstrom
and had visited her house on one occasion,
when her husband and others were pres
ent. Mrs. Dahlstrom had once come down
to the City, where the defendant had, in
broad daylight, escorted her from the boat
to her hotel
The court allowed wide latitude in the
questions asked, but nothing materalized
to in any way connect the defendant with
the charge.
Finally the defendants attorney, Mar
tin Stevens, asked for nonsuit on the
promptly granted by Judge Hunt, who de-
nounced the plaintiff in round terms for
the utter inadequacy of his case, and the
vexatious folly of bringing into court such
unsupported charges. He said if the jury
had found verdict adverse to defendant
he would, under the circumstances, have
felt compelled to set it aside. The plant
Tiff would have to pay the costs of the pro-
