even under protest, to obey the court.
With q long imprisonment staring him
in the face for contempt Of court, he

railway employees quit work on strike
last Monday, and the leading lines have
been tied up ever since. The strike was
brought about by an effort to secure

this evening in East New York, where
Major Eddy and a detachment Of the

SAD TALE IN a WILL.
Death Overtakes Two Missionaries
Through Natives Theft.

Death Overtakes Two Missionaries
Through Natives Theft.
The filing of the will of August Kullman
by Surrogate George S. West in Camden
yesterday brought to light very pathetic
story.
August Kullman was the promising son
of Methodist Episcopal minister, sta
toned at Sea Isle City. Miss Adeline C.
Weatherby was the daughter of Rev. Sam
uel c.. Weatherby, Methodist Episcopal
minister, who was stationed at Haddon-
field. The young people became acquaint-
ed in attending religious gatherings and an
attachment was formed which terminated
In a marriage, which was attended by
manv prominent persons from all parts Of
the State. A short time before the mar
riage took place there were urgent calls
for missionaries in India, and the two de-
cided after marriage to devote their lives
to missionary labors.
After the ceremony they started for
their fields of labor at Asausol, Bengal, In
dia. They reached their post of duty in
February, 1895, one month after their
marriage. and entered upon their duties.
They had been laboring but short time
when the natives began to die OF cholera.
The young missionaries were advised to
save LUelT lives Ov going 10 OtucI pdItS, UuL
they decided to stay and minister TO the
sufferers.
In order to avoid the disease they de-
cided to drink no water, as it was declared
to be polluted and the cause Of the spread
of the contagion. They purchased a cow
and drank the milk, and were free from
the dreaded disease.
From the meager information at hand it
appears that on July 25 one of the natives,
during the absence of the missionary and
his wife, drank quantity of the milk, and,
in order to conceal his crime, he procured
some of the contaminated water from
stream, which was placed in the receptacle
with the milk.
When the missionaries returned from
their missionary of love and labor with the
natives they were very thirsty, and drank
considerable of the watered milk. They
ate light supper and attended prayer
meeting. During the service Mr.. Kullman
was taken i'll, and was assisted home. On
the way Mrs. Kullman was attacked. All
night long the husband and wife. attended
by other missionaries. fought with the
dreaded plague, being unable to account
for the attack, as they had escaped so
many months. In strange country, hun
dreds of miles from home, they tossed on
their couches, offering each other all the
encouragement possible under the circum-
stances. At 4 o'clock on the morning of
July 26 Mrs. Kullman became unconscious
and died -Four hours afterward Mr.. Kull-
man died. Philadelphia Press.
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-01

Governor of California, when men cam
from CAPTAIN Sutter giving news of the
discovery to the Government, and asking
the right to pre-empt the land on which it
was made. Sherman says he answered,
under the signature of the Governor, that
California was as yet Mexican prov
ince, simply held by US as conquest; that
no laws of the United States yet applied
to it, much less the land laws or the pre-
emption laws, which could only apply
after public survey. Therefore it was
impossible for the Governor to promise
him title to the land, yet as there were
no settlements within forty miles, he was
not likely to be disturbed by trespassers.
Colonel Mason signed the letter, handed it
to one of the gentlemen who had brought
the sample OF gold, and they departed"
1t is some satisfaction to know that
Marshall and Suffer paid the Indians for
the land, although they could not acquire
it of the Government. Here is what Sher-
man says of the first account of an event
that was to stir the world to the center:

New York in 1s45, with Sam Brannan as
leader Sam Brannan was on hand as the
high-priest, collecting the tithes. AS soon as
the news spread that the Governor was there
persons came to see US and volunteered all
kinds of information, illustrating it by sam
pies of the gold, which was of a uniform kind
scale gold, bright and beautiful. 1 remem-
ber that Mr.. Clark was in camp talking to
Colonel Mason about matters and things gen.
orally. when he inquired: Governor, what
business has Sam Brannan to collect the
tithes here?' Clark admitted that Brannan
was the head of the Mormon church in
California. Colonel Mason answered: Bran
nan has perfect right to collect the tithes, if
you Mormons are fools enough to pay the tax
Then said Clark, Il, for one, won't pay any
longer And Colonel Mason added: This is
public land, and the gold is the property of the
United States; all OF you are trespassers. but
as the Government is benefited by your getting
out the gold 1 do not intend to interfere

nothing of what he had seen to his family
or any one else"
But here is the quaint account of the
discovery from Suffers own hand, as set
down in his diary, now in the archives at
Washington: January 1s, 1s4s, Marshall
arrived in the evening; it was raining very
heavy, but he told me th at he came on i'm
portant business; after we were alone in a
private room he showed me the first speci-
men of gold, that is he was not certain if it
was gold or not. but he thought it might
be; Immediately l made the proof and
found that it was gold. I told him even
that most of all is % carat gold. He
wished that I should come up with him
Immediately, but told him that have to
give first my orders to the people in all
my factories and shops.

myself everything and picked up few
specimens of gold myself in the tailrace
of the sawmill. This gold and others

talk with my employed people all at the
sawmill. l told them that as they do now
know that this metal is gold, l wished
that they would do me the great favor
and keep it secret for six weeks, because
my large hourmill at Brighton would
| have been in operation in such time,
which undertaking would have been a
fortune to me, and unfortunately the
people would not keep it secret, and so
| lost on this mill at the lowest calculation
about $25000."
Shrewd, queer, cunning old Captain Sut-
ter! Somehow my heart never went out
to him as it always did, and always shall,
to old Jim Marshall. Would you care to
read the first paragraph ever published
touching the discovery? Here it is, from
the San Francisco Californian, March Is,
nearly sixty days after the event:
GOLD MINE FOUND.
In the newly made raceway of the sawmill
recently erected by Captain Sutter, on the
American fork, gold has been found in consid-
erable quantities. One person brought $50
worth to New Helvetia, gathered there in a
short time. California, no doubt, is rich in
mineral wealth: great chances here for scien-
! tlfic capitalists. Gold has been found in almost
every part of the country.
1t may not be out of place TO quote a
paragraph from Ross Brownies report to
Congress in 1867: THE existence of gold
in California was known long before the
acquisition of that territory by the United
States. Placers had long been worked on
a limited scale by the Indians, but the
priests, who had established the mis-
sionary settlements knowing that a dis
semination of the discoveries thus made
would Illustrate their plans for the con-
version of the aboriginal races, discouraged
by all means in their power the prosecu-
ton of this pursuit, and in some instances
suppressed it by force. AS early as Decem-
ber, 1843, however, Manuel Castanares, a
Mexican officer, made strenuous efforts to
arouse the attention of the Mexican Gov
ernment to the importance of this great
interest,"

new and reached Coloma, the place where gold
had been first discovered, about noon. Only a
few miners were at work there, by reason OF
Marshall and Suffers claim to the site. There
stood the sawmill unfinished, the dam and
tailrace Just as they were left when the Nor
mons ceased work Marshall and his family
of wife and half a dozen tow-headed children
were there, living in house made OF clap
boards.
Cooma, classic, storied, dreamful. restful
Coloma, is to-day one of the most entirely
beautiful spots on earth. All the way up

the plains and the hills, mountains and

purple grapes and hills of gold. Miles and
miles of grapes will remain ungathered.
But while this tact may sadden one bit
in pity for the unpaid toilers, it does not
lessen but heighten the imperial beauty
of the scene; the color OF fire and gold.
And then we know perfectly we'll that a
better time is close at hand.

down from Captain Suffers on special
business and they wanted to see the Coy

time the colonel came to his door and

was called to series of papers unfolded

ounce OF placer gold. Mason said to me,
What is that2' / touched it and exam

asked, is it gold?'"
And here follows what he took from the
lips of Sutter, although must protest that
Marshall was not at any time, so far as 1
know, and knew him very well, "a half
crazy man at best" He was kind to me,
and as was also an Oregonian-or was it

in his room at the fort one day in Febru-
ary or March, 184s, a knock was heard at
the door and he called out, Come in In
walked Marshall, who was a half-crazy
man at best, but then looked strangely
wild. What is the matter, Marshall?'
Marshall inquired if any one was in hear
ing, and began to peer around the room
and look under the bed, when Sutter, fear
ing that some calamity had befallen the
party up at the sawmill and that Marshall
was really crazy, demanded of Marshall
to explain what was the matter. At last
he revealed his discovery and laid before
Captain Sutter the gold he had picked up
in the ditch. At first Sutter attached little
or no importance to the discovery and told
Marshall to 60 back to the mill and say

Sherman went to the new mines in the
Sierras of California and reports as fol-
lows: Toward the close Of June, 1S4S, the
gold fever being at its height, by Colonel
Mason's orders l made preparations for
his trip TO the newly discovered gold mines
at Suffers Fort. 1 selected four good
soldiers, with Aaron, Colonel Malon's
black servant, and good outfit of horses
and pack animals. We started by the
usually travelled route for Yerba Buena
(San Franclsco). There Captain Folsom
and two other citizens joined our party.
The first difficulty was to cross the bay
to Sausalito. Folsom, as quartermaster,
had q sort of scow with q large
sail, and by means of her and infinite
labor we managed to get the load OF
horses, etc., safely crossed to Sausalito.
We followed in more comfortable schoon-
er. Having safely landed our horses and
mules we packed up and rode to San Ra-
fael Mission. stopping with Don Timoteo
Murphy. The next days journey took us
to Bodega, where a man named Stephen
Smith lived, who had the only steam saw
mill in California. We spent day very
pleasantly with him, and learned that he
had come to the country some years be-
fore at the personal advice of Daniel Web
ster, who had informed him that sooner or
later the United States would be in pos-
session of California. and that in conse-
quence it would become a great country"
The temptation to follow the grim old
soldier q little further is irresistible. par
ticularly as he gives a brief account of q
once most famous citizen of San Francisco
and also looks in upon the home life of
dear old Marshall:
July ID, 1848, we commenced our Journey
toward the mines, and reached, after o hot and
dusty ride, Mormon Island.
When Colonel Mason and party reached Nor.

there at work; most of them were discharged

The Perverse Conduct of q Hose Under
Pressure of Water.
Queer things drift into a police station
sometimes, and so it came to pass that the
officers at the East st. Louis station had a
funny experience Saturday night. Things
were very quiet, whisky shoots" the
levee ard the island having been that
remiss in their usual donation that only
one lone colored man was in the cells, and
he came there to sleep. Lieutenant We'll
kobrasky thought it would be good
chance to give the quarters thorough
cleaning. Calling Night Clerk Dick Grady,
they fastened the big hose to the plug in
the engine-house, turned on q moderate
supply of water and began to wash out the
cells.
They had just got things nicely started
when some practical joker came in to the
plug and turned the water on full head,
with only about twenty-five feet of hose on.
The lieutenant had the hose in his hand.
when it gave jump as though 1t were
alive and wrenched itself loose, while a
small Niagara began to flood everything in
sight.
The lieutenant is pretty strong man,
but he was not in it with the hose. Dick
Grady rushed into q cell and then shut the
door after him, but the hose waltzed up to
the bars and Dick came near being drowned
like rat in hole. Sergeant Mooney and
Officer Toomey came in just then, and the
hose greeted them with liberal shower.
Both men said something and retreated.
Then the hose as if endowed with renewed
life, got after the lieutenant. His hand
some uniform and new hat looked like q
sad memory of summer in second.
Like great snake, the hose threw itself
around. and nothing could hold it. Finally
it got out of the Jail and into the Chief s
Office, where Mooney and Toomey were
trying to figure out what had broken
loose. They stopped figuring and made q
swift break for the inner office, but not
until both had received another drenching.
The Chiefs Office was flooded in Sec
ond, and papers and everything loose went
flying right and left. Then the rubber
hose started for the inner office, but some
one outside just then turned the water off.

few minutes later the officers were wiring

inches deep on the floor. That hose Just
