A number of those who signed the petit

feasibility of the election owing to a lack
OF funds, John N. Reynolds, chairman of
the election committee of the union,
called on Auditor Broderick yesterday and
found that no apprehension need exist on
that score.
The Auditor informed Mr.. Reynolds
that the law provides that expenses for
special elections are preferred claims
against the general fund and can be drawn
for before anything else is taken out. Mr..
Broderick also stated that within short
period the collections of the Tax Collector

River Fishermen at work During the
Closed Season.
The deputies of the Fish Commission
are having considerable trouble with sal
mon-fshers who persist in killing salmon
in the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers
in spite of the fact that the closed season
for these fish is from September to No
vember 1. The deputies who are patrolling
the rivers have contiscated seven valuable
salmon nets found set in the rivers and
have sworn out warrants for the arrest of
the owners of the nets for violating the law.
1t is doubtful if the offenders are ever cap
tured. The run of salmon in the rivers is
very large. In one net that was contis-
Gated sixty fish were found. This net was
set below Jersey Island.
The deputies in this City have not been
idle. They have seized over 1900 pounds
brought in by the bay and river boats since
the season closed. OF this 400 pounds
were seized on Wednesday on the arrival
of the steamer Dauntless from Stockton.
All of the fish were packed in closed boxes
to prevent their discovery.

THE LESSON OF THE THIRD
TERM TALK.

Speaking of the cowardly evasion of Re-
publican candidates on the currency ques-
ton and its effect on their presidential
aspirations the New York Evening Post
says: Every man of them is lodging
and turning in the hope of catching the
votes of the silver States without losing
those of the great industrial and mercan-
tile States. The discussion about a third
term ought to open the eyes of these trim
mers The moral for presidential candi-
dates is plain enough. The country is
watching every candidate keenly now,
and will watch more and more closely as
time goes on. Party names viii count
for less in the next National election than
they have counted for in any such con-
test for a quarter of a century. The
land is crowded with independent voters,
not mere theorists, but hard headed bust
ness men mainly, who will give their sup
port to the candidate whose character and
principles furnish the strongest assurance
that he will be the kind of a president
that Cleveland has been. This is the
lesson of third term talk, and the would
be candidate who learns it first and prof,
its by it sufficiently to find his tongue on
the great questions of the day will secure
for himself a powerful popular backing
when his National convention comes to.

TRAGEDY IN A BAGN1O.
An Inmate Seriously Wounded-Her Male
Companion Dead.

Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 25.-Early this
afternoon, i'm house of i'll fame, occurred
what was probably murder and suicide;
Max Noack of Marcus, Iowa, was found
dead in room with a bullet wound IN
his brain. By his side lay Hazel Ham
mond, an inmate of the house. with bul-
let wound in her head. The doors to the
room were locked and had to be broken
into. The lamp had been overturned and
the clothing of the dead man had began
to burn when the tragedy was dlscoV-
cred.
The cause of the tragedy is unknown,
'Noack had only been in the city a few
weeks and was but little known.
Hazel Hammond, or Ora Minton, as her
right name is said to be. came from Cen
trtil City, Neb., where her parents reside
Noack, it is believed, was trying to induce
the woman to leave the life she was lead
ing and return home, and when she re-
fused, he shot Ter and then killed him,
self. 1t is reported by some that NoacA
was the woman's half brother and by
others that he was her husband. Noack
formerly worked at Grand Island and
Lincoln. Neb. The doctors say tonight the
woman may live.

SOUND MONEY CIRCULAR.

The following is the sound money cir
cular issued by Judge Hardy. We did
not approve of this course unless the reg
ular Democratic executive committee re-
fused to make Il canvass in support of the
State Democratic platform, but we are
willing to aid i'm any way the sound money
principle in that platform.
Corsicana, Tex, 1895.
Dear Sir-This is the beginning of a
fight that will terminate in November,
1896. 1t is necessary that those of us be-
lieving in sound money should not sleep.
Understanding that you are thoroughly
with us, and believe with us that our
fight is for the honest policy, for the in.
tegrity of the Democratic party, in oppo-
sition to fiatism, to greenbackism and to
free silverism, have selected you as dis
trict committeeman for the advancement
of our cause in the - senatorial dis
trict. 1t is my suggestion that you APP
point a committeeman for each county in
your district, with whom correspondence
may be had. and to whom literature may
be, sent, so that on all occasions we may
have some one to look to the interests OF
sound money.
1t is our purpose now to prepare for the
fight of 1896, at which time we expect to
make the fight all along the line within
the Democratic ranks for an honest poi
cy. We oppose Reputation, we oppose
debasing our currency and We intend thai
the Democratic party shall not be com
united to a policy that would be dis
grace to its name. We are making this
| fight within the Democratic party. We
wish to stem the tide that is now sweep
| ing over this country and to preserve the
| fair name of Democracy from the tarnist
in the charge that might be made thai
she leaned toward fiatism. We wish Il
| inculeate temperance and tolerance, bu'
| frmness and unequivocal determination
among our friends. We might suggest thu
avoidance of incorporate utterances a!
to the future policy to be pursued by
sound money men in the event of thu
adoption of 16 to l platform by th'
| National Democracy. Such a platform
will never be adopted. And we wish
therefore, while intending to submit b
the National platform ourselves, to MAKE
our adversaries agree to do likewise. Oul
enemies have heretofore had the field K
themselves in the discussion of this ques
| ton: We intend to be with them in tn,
, future. They have told the people FIRE,
silver meant better times, meant concur

MEXICO STAMPS OUT THE DUEL
10

Judge De La Hose of the district court
of the City of Mexico has crowned his
country with imperishable and immortal
honors in sentencing Col. Romero, the ia
tai and deadly duellist, to three years and
four months hard labor in the municipal
prison and to pay fine of $1,000 or serve
a hundred days additional. The judge also
decreed that Romero should pay to the
family of the man he killed in the duel,
Verastegui, the sum of $4,000 annually
for 1S years and that he should also pay
the funeral expenses of Yerastegui.
The civilization of Mexico can no longer
be scoffed at or doubted. This one de-
cision and sentence has carried Mexico
to the front rank in the humanities of
civilization and far in the lead of all Other
nations in the establishment of the princi
pie that when one man kills another he
must furnish the family of the dead mar
with an income equal to their social posi-
ton in life.

PRODUCTION OF GOLD.

The Louisville Courier says: "The
Financial Chronicle, after u careful eX-
animation of the reports from the world
gold mines, estimates that the yield for
1895 will be 9,SOO,OOO fine ounces, or
500, 5S3 $40. This would be an increase
of 1,01S,9S6 fine ounces over 1894, about
II per cent gain. The gain in 1894 over
the preceding year was IA IL per cent or
1,11S,937 fine ounces. The Chronicles
estimate is certainly q moderate one.
The increased yield in the great Wit
watersrand district is 14O,322 ounces for
the first six months of the calendar year,
about IA IL per cent; and the activity
has been great in mining circles every
where. Conservative figures are best,
however. The weekly circular of a
prominent Denver mining broker, which
has just been received, puts the yie,d for
Colorado for this year at $1S0000,00 and
the total for the United States at $780,
100000. Such statements are too san
guine. We are certain to pass the 5000,
100000 mark in gold production this time;
and as this is much more than the total
gold and silver production few years
back we ought to be satisfied"

THE DURRANT TRIAL.
A Strong Effort Will Be Made to Prove
an Abb.

San Francisco, Aug. 25.-The attorneys
for Theo. Durrant have two witnesses,
Marius Burnett and Edward Mcpherson,
by whom they expect to prove that their
client was on Market street at the mo-
ment when the prosecution insists that
the fendish murderer was mutilating the
body of the dead girl in the library of
Emanuel church. Durrant himself will
trace his movements on that night, when
,he claims to have taken the records and
the money of the Christian Endeavor
society down town. Burnett and Nc
PhersOn will testify that they saw the
book under his arm when he was down
town and entries in that book itself will
prove that he collected dues from some
of the members in DR.. Vogel's house.
1t is now admitted that Durrant's
first story of his movements on the night
Minnie Williams was murdered. when he
said he went to the armory. is untrue
He started for time signal corps armory,
but became absorbed in the Christian
Endeavor accounts, which he carried with
him, and rode down town.
