A SPRING OF PURE RYE WHISKY
Said TO Have Been Discovered by a Far.
merits Presence Mystery.

PrTTsBvRG, Pa, June pa re-
murkable story Of the discovery of
an alleged spring of pure rye whis-
ky comes from Smithtom, Il small
town on the Noughiogheny river.
Several days. ago Farmer Jones,
while digging q ditch, came upon
an old we'll, From it arose the
odor Of the juice Of the rye, which
every farmer Of WrStnoroland
county can smell at great dist
unce.
The we'll was ON an incline. An
examination showed the stones ot
the upper wall to be covered with
deep rust, From between two Of
the stones there was u slow but
constant dripping Of liquor. Call
ing some help Farmer Jones be-
gan digging through the stones.
He struck Il ledge Of soft sand
stone, and from Il crevice, in its
side came the dripping whisky.
To make sure Of it the farmers
tasted the liquor and pronounced
it Il fair quality of barleycorn.' -
After arranging to run the drip
pings into a cask the farmers clos
ed up the we'll in order to keep the
discovery secret. They will renew
their explorations tomorrow. Many
people think the whisky comes
from u storage vault of an old dis
tillery that probably stood where
Jones began digging. The Oldest
inhabitant does not remember any
distillery there. Barrels of whisky
were probably buried in the hill
side and forgotten. Now that the
casks are decaying the contents
ooaing out through the hillside. =.

EFFORTS TO DEFEAT THE MEASURE
IN THE ASSEMBLY.

SACRAMENTO, March GA strenuous fight
is being made in the Assembly against the
bill to put Alvord and Tobin out of the Po-
lice Commission and reduce the term of
office from life to four years. This is
Assembly bill 653, which Cutter had
made the special order for this afternoon.
Realizing the paramount Importance of the
general appropriation bill, Mr.. Cutter con-
sented to give it precedence over his meas
ure. When he tried to have it made the
special order for them tomorrow he met
strong opposition.
Bettman.of San Francisco and Pendleton
OF Los Angeles were the most prominent of
the objectors.
A two-thirds vote of the House placed
the bill as the special order for $50 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. Many voted to make
the bill a special order who will vote
against it. In spite of it's being fathered
by Republican and being the bill ofathe
Judiciary committee of a Republican
house, an attempt is being made to brand
it as Democratic measure and thus de-
feat it.

Touchdown LEGISLATURES
The SENATE EVOLVES AN ATTACHES
BILL FOR FUTURE SESSIONS.

SACRAMENTO, March 6.-The CALLS ex-
pose of the gross extravaganza of the Legis-
lature in the matter of attaches has forced
the Senate finally to attempt to redeem its
bad record in the past. A resolution was
introduced to-day providing that all un-
necessary attaches should be dismissed
after March s. Though the Senate will
make little if any reduction in the extrav-
agance of this session, it proposes that
future Legislatures shall not be guilty of
such an offense
Some days ago Wilmington introduced a
committee bill fixing the number of at
taches and their pay.
McAllister offered substitute, and this
substitute passed its second reading to-
night and will pass finally tomorrow
night, as it is on the special urgency file.
The patronage of the Senate is fixed at
sixty-six attaches with a per diem of
$286 so. The patronage of the Assembly
is fixed at seventy-eight with a per diem
of $3.50 so.
The Senate by its vote tonight showed
that this number of attaches was amply
sufficient
When it is considered that the present
per diem for attaches in the Senate is
nearly $1,000 and the number of attaches
164 the glaring extravaganza of the Senate
and, in a slightly less degree, of the As
sembly is made apparent.

HORSEPLAY OF MEMBERS.
The Speaker in Easy Repose
With His Feet Upon
the Desk.
LAWMAKERS AT A PRIZEFIGHT.
The Sergeant-at-ArmS Sent Out to
Bring in the Derelict
ASsembIymen.

SACRAMENTO, March 6.-After the other
business had been finished in the Assembly
tonight Cutter of Yuba asked leave to
introduce bill out of order. AS this is
the fifty-ninth day of the session such a
request is extraordinary He explained
that his bill was to allow all bills to be con-
sidered engrossed when no amendments
had been made at the second reading
AT present all bills, whether there have
been changes or not, go to the printer, are
reprinted and sent back. This occasions
great expense and delay of several days
for each bill, and the members of the House
were all anxious for its passage. To in
troduce the bill two-thirds vote was
necessary.
Only forty-eight members answered to
their names. The absentees were called,
this made fifty voting. To save a day a
call of the House was ordered, although
there were five members in the House who
did not vote. Immediately the doors were
closed and the sargeant-at-arms was
ordered to arrest the absentees whom were
said to be in attendance at a prizefght,
being held at the corner of Fifth and |
streets.
O'Day of San Francisco was called to the
chair and a reign of disorder began.
The Speaker pro tenn. cooked his feet on
the desk, put his cigar in his mouth and
ruled every member who tried to address
him out of order
Many attempts were made to phase the
new chairman, who, though he might
have been better versed in parliamentary
usage, yet was able to give witty answer
to each of the members who tried to chaff
him.
The House acted like a school without
master for nearly two hours. A number
of attempts We're made to dispense with
the call of the House. Nearly two bills
are still on the Office reading fle though
and the members want to save the time
that must now ensue between the second
and third readings To accomplish this a
day earlier they were willing to stay until
II 80 in the Assembly,
By that time Assemblymen Boothby and
Zocchi were brought in from the prize
fight. Assemblyman Lewis was the next
to be rounded up. The call of the House
was then dispensed with and the roll
called. This time the five who had re-
fused to vote before cast their votes in the
affirmative, fearing another call of the
House, and the bill was allowed to be in
duced by 56 ayes to noes.

MARSHFIELD'S OCEAN CRAFT
AN OREGON SAILOR TO TRAVERSE
TWO OCEANS IN A LITTLE
DORY.
A VERY VENTUREsoME TRIP TO
EUROPE VIA SAN FRAN
CISCO.

MARsHFIELD, Or, March 6.-Captain
Gustaf Broman of this place is preparing
for journey to Europe in the smallest
craft with which man has ever yentured
upon the high seas for long journey.
Broman came here five months ago and
shortly afterward commenced the con-
struction of the boat in which he intends
to sail for San Francisco, where he will
make some improvements in his craft and
they sail for Europe. He has been quiet
about his undertaking, and it was long
after he had started the work of construc-
tion that it became known that he in
tended to make the perilous Journey.
Captain Broman's boat, which was
launched ten days ago amid much enthu-
siasm from the spectators, measures 10 feet
keel, 1314 feet over all, 2 feet depth of hold
and feet beam. The stanch little vessel
was made of cedar log, which was sawed
in two, then dug out and afterward put
together again with water-tight compart-
ments. She is decked over and several
manhole plates in the deck are arranged
so that entrance can be had to the different
compartments to obtain stores and pro-
visions. These holes are sufficiently large
to admit the lower extremities of the navi-
gator, but the main part of his body will
be exposed to the weather.
The boat has been christened Gustaf
Adolph in honor of the first King of Swe-
den, and when she is rigged, with an iron
centerboard weighing 125 pounds and other
gear, her main deck will be just six inches
above the water.
Captain Broman is much pleased with
his boat, and he only smiles when he is
told that every one predicts his loss before
he is twenty-four hours at sea. He de-
clines to state what originated his idea, but
he asserts positively that his undertaking
is not an advertising scheme or a reputa-
tion-making affair
He expects to sail from Coos Bay next
Sunday for San Francisco, where he will
put in three masts and give her the rig of
a full-rigged ship. He will only use one
spar on the trip to San Francisco. When
he arrives there he will try to obtain per-
mission from the railroad authorities to
place his boat on wheels and sail across
the continent on the railroad tracks. But
if he cannot obtain this consent, he in
tends to sail around the Horn.
Captain Broman is native of Russia
and is % years old. He appears to be a
level-headed, logical sort of man, and
seems to have some means. He came to
Marshfeld from South America, and was
formerly engaged in the diamond trade in
Central America. He has look of deter
mination, and all who know him believe
that he will endeayor to put his plans in
execution, even at the cost of his life. He
has followed the sea and has knowledge of
navigation.

Los ANGELES BOYS POISONED
ONE CHILD DIES OF EATING CAKES
AND ANOTHER BECOMES
SERIOUSLY Ill.
The PASTRY WAS GIVEN TO THE
LITTLE ONES BY A KIND
OLD WOMAN.

Los ANGELES, March 6.-John Strange
and Edward Henderson, two young boys
living with their parents in East Los An
geles, ate poisoned cakes while playing
this afternoon, and now the former lies on
a slab at the Morgue while Strange is in
dangerous condition.
The two boys went with little Stella
Strange to the house of an old lady named
Mrs. O'Hare to spend the afternoon. Stella
Strange went into the house of Mrs. O'Hare
to get knife for the boys to cut some
grass with. Mrs. O'Hare gave her knife
and also a package of cakes. Stella gave
the cakes to the boys, who both ate some
OF them. in fewtmoments two youngsters
were taken sick. The Strange boy died be-
fore an emetic could be administered but
the other lad vomited freely as soon as he
was taken with cramps, and this saved his
life.
The father of the dead boy was much
wrought up over the matter and at once
made application to the District Attorney
for complainst against Mrs. O'Hare. The
old lady has lived on the East Side for some
time and bears fairly good reputation.
When interviewed by the CALL correspon-
dent tonight as to how she came into pos
session of the poisoned pastry she said:
about week ago L went out on the
front porch and found a small package on
the steps. AS unwrapped the paper COW
ering l saw that the contents were cakes
such as we call lady fingers. Supposing
that some one had left them for me took
the package into the house, and when
Stella came to-day gave them to her to eat.
had noidea that they contained poison"
Mrs. O'Hare owns considerable property
and has several daughters. One of these, it
is alleged, has led wayward life and fre-
quently made threats, or rather expressed
desire that the old woman would die and
leave her some money. This daughter is
said to reside in San Francisco. Mrs.
O'Hare lives alone in her little house and
was on most friendly terms with children.
1t is not believed that she gave poisoned
cakes to them with any knowledge that
they contained any deadly substance
