GAVE THE WAGON A RUN.
Practical Jokers Who Made Trouble
for the Coroner's Department, Caus
ing Waste of Time.

ing Waste of Time.
An effort may be made by Coroner Haw-
kins to-day to secure the punishment of
two men for giving the morgue wagon an
unnecessary run yesterday morning.
AT 8 A. NJ. a telephone message was re-
ceived from w. H. Ring saioon-keeper at
3549 Fillmore street. as he said, informing
Deputy Coroner O. Brien that body was
lying on the beach near Black Point. When
Deputy O'Brien went to Rings place he
said the finding of the body had been re-
ported to him by Robert Clark, a jeweler,
living on Union street, near Laguna, and
james Robinson, ship captain, both Of
whom were drunk at the time. Ring said
he doubted the truth of the story.
Afterward, however, Deupty O'Brien
met Clark and Robinon, and they insisted
that there was body on the beach, as
they had stated to Ring When Mr..
OBrien went with the wagon to the place
designated, he saw two soldiers of the Pre-
sidio, John Ashton and Frank Aboy, of
Battery 1, who told him there was no body
at all, but that some bathers during a
frolic had been ducking an old inebriate in
the water, and when they got through with
their questionable fun had left him lying
on the beach exhausted.
1t was this incident which doubtless fur
nished the formation for the story of the
body The wagon was thus given a run of
several miles for nothing, and during part
of the time thus wasted the wagon was
wanted at the Washington street wharf,
where Boatman William Moe had found
floating in the bay the body of Frank Ellis,
cook of 1907 Jackson street, who had
fallen overheard from the wharf.
The supposition is that Clark and Rob-
inson mad something to do with the duck
ing of the old man and, desiring to perpe-
trate practical joke. had the report sent to
the Morgue In the hope that the victim of
their sport would be taken there as dead
man. Coroner Hawkins will look at the
serious side of the affair to-day.

ROAD TO SARATOGA.
1t Is FarorabIy Reported Upon to I
Board of Trade.

Board OF Trade.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept 22.-At special
meeting of the Directors of the Board of
Trade last evening the report of the COM
mittee on the proposed electric road from
San Jose to Saratoga was considered. The
committee reported that the road would
be vast benefit to the business men of
this city and property-owners along the
route, as it would give swift and constant
communication between this city and the
people on the west side of the valley. The
committee urged the people of San Jose
and western side of the valley to give Mr..
Hale and his associates their liberal sup
port.
J. F. Pfetch addressed the board, saying
that he and his associates intended to go
among the principal property-owners along
the line and get them to attend mass
meeting at Saratoga. The sum asked, $780,
600, is but fifty cents per acre on the land
by which the new road will pass. The
value of that land will be increased thereby
not fifty cents per acre, but from S. to $25
per acre.
He assured the directors that if they &C.
cured sufficient encouragement the road
would be in operation next June. The
board adopted the report of the committee,
and it was their opinion that the Saratoga
Railroad was the best business proposition
ever presented TO them, and announced
themselves as being heartily in favor of it.

1t Is Accomplished in o. Most Deliberate
Manner.
SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 22.-Leander
Hebard, an old soldier and logger by occu-
patton, killed himself last night or this
morning. Sitting erect in chair in his
apartments he placed a double .barreled
shotgun in such position that it enabled
him to send a heavy charge of bird shot
into his heart. Death must have been in
Simultaneous. The body, which was not
found until this afternoon, occupied the
position it did when the self-murderer,
with precision and deliberation, sat down
and sent his soul into eternity. The de-
ceased was Forester, presumably single
and about 55 years of age.

LICK OBSERVATORY, CAL, Sept o.
The last of the parts of the Crossley dome
have been received at Mount Hamilton.

scope, except the mirrors and delicate OPP
teal parts.

All of Mr.. Crossley's magnificent gift is
now safely housed, and it only remains to
put it in working order. 1t was hoped to
use the instrument this year, but the late
arrival of some of the parts will probably
delay its erection until spring.

The property is fully insured.

gLlCKBUREs VIEWS.

Senator Blackburn in making a state
ment said in part:
while the restoration of silver to its
place of unrestricted coinage and I'M
limited legal tender function may not
prove a panacea for the ills that we
now suffer, l am convinced it will do
more and go further in that direction
thon any one piece of legislation thai
has been suggested. have an abiding
faith in the capacity Of this party metal
to work out and maintain its permanent
integrity with gold provided the oppress-
i've hand of the law is removed and the
minis of the country are thrown open
to its coinage. l believe and always
did believe the act of 1873 was an UNI
constitutional meastre. l believe that
the act of 1873 would have been so held
by the Supreme Court of the United
States had not partisan spirit domis
mated the action of that body. This
conviction l have stated in debate on
the floor of the Senate as broadly as /
put it here.
81 agree with Daniel Webster, who in
his day and even to this day, was and is
still held to be something of an author
ity as a constitutional lawyer. He de-
clared that the constitution of the
United States made gold and silver the
redemption money of this country and
that neither Congress nor any State had
any rightful power 70 substitute any
other, nor to destroy either the one or
the other of these metals.
81 am in favor of the restoration of
the silver metal at the ratio of Is to /,
believing, in the light of an experience
that covers a century, that such ratio
will establish and maintain permanent
ly the parity between the two metals.
| believe we should take this action at
the earliest day possible, independent
of the policies or views of other nations.
| have an abiding faith in the ability OF
my country to establish and maintain
its monetary system as that which l
cherish in its ability to defend its own
soil from invasion or its institutions
from assault. In my judgement, we
are as Independent of foreign dictation

Nevada farmers viii never reach the
highway of prosperity and absolute in
dependence until they produce at home
the sugar, bacon and hams, canned peas
and beans, and many other articles they
are now getting from a distance. We
can't ave u money and hire people
in other States odo our work for us,
nor will the population and taxable
property Of the State increase under
such a system. Every dollar sent to
California stays there. Every dollar
spent at home helps to develop the
State. Would that more of our citizens
realized this truth, and thought about
1t, and slept with it.

BECOMING TOO NUMEROUS.

The question of rounding up the
hoboes that are beginning to swarm in
to this county is being agitated. As
was predicted some time ago, we are be-
ing flood with the genus tramp to such
a degree that they are becoming a mem
ace to the peace and safety of the law
abiding citizens. Nearly all of these
men are professional "bums'' and would
not work if the best job in the State
were offered them. They should be
warned to leave, and if they fail to obey
they should be compelled to do SO.
There is no reason why any community
should be compelled to support them.
This we must do if they are arrested
and locked up. While there is no doubt
that officers do their duty, it is impossi-
BILE for them to entirely abate the nuis-
ance alone. Many of the fellows desire
nothing better than to be arrested and
sent to Jail occasionally, when they find
themselves in hard luck. They should
be forced to move on, and keep moving
on, until the tramp life becomes a bur
den to them They are bad enough
when they come singly, but when they
come in droves and form camps, as we
understand they have done at Grass
Valley, their presence is a menace.
They resort to all sorts of tricks to
gain sympathy and assistance. That
they get plenty of the latter is evidenced
by the fact that they refuse to accept
food unless it is just to their liking.
One called at a residence in Nevada City
recently at meal time, and asked for
something to eat. He was informed by
the lady of the house that they had only
a lunch, but he might have such as
there was. Her husband hearing the
conversation invited the nan in, say
ing that he could share with himself
the bread and butter and hot coffee
that had been prepared. But this was
not good enough for the knight of the
road, and he declined, saying hat he
would 60 across the street. This fastid-
i~ousness has been fostered by the pro-
verbal generosity OF the mountain
