they have no supervision over it. The law
provides that the superintendent shall
turn 1t over to the treasurer. The only
way they could get it was to name a new
treasurer and have him make the demand.
Director Mcdonald of Santa Clara is
quoted as saying:
The Major made a clean breast OF it.
He really did not know how much he was
short, and when we made known TO him
the amount it simply staggered him. Ny
opinion Is that the defalcat ton goes back
as far as 1882. Then, from what | can
learn, Major Orr took little of the money,
thinking he could replace it when his
monthly payday came, but did not find 1t
convenient, and so took q little more
until the sum got so large that there W as
no chance of saving himself, and then he
dipped in pretty largely. do not know
just the sum he IS short-the experts re-
port will show that-but il is something
over $4,000. l think the bondsmen will
have to make it good.
Major Orr was elected to serve at the
pleasure OF the board, and none OF his
sureties have ever offered 10 withdraw from
the bond. We are advised by our attor-
ney, Mr.. Louttit, that the bond is perfectly
good, and that the bondsmen are liable for
the shortage. We were informed last
night that the bondsmen would pay the
amount of Major Orr's declarations with
out any trouble, but to-day have been told
that some of them refuse to do so"
"Will the directors institute criminal
proceedings against the major?" was
asked.
We'll, no" said the director from Santa
Clara. THAT is for the Attorney General
to attend TO. He is very busy and will
probably delegate Mr.. Louttit to act for
him.

Killing Of His Wffe.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 26.-The pre-
liminary examination of William Christ
for the alleged murder of his wife on the
night of the 14th inst. ended to-day, and
Christ was held without bail to answer be-
fore the Superior Court on charge of
murder.
Mrs Waltheo, the aged mother of the
dead woman, told of the shooting and
Christ's assertion that it was accidental
Then Mrs Frances Hart told the old story
OF womans perhaps causeless jealousy.
That had been the primal cause of Mrs.
Christ's death. w. G. Hart swore that the
poetry in his possession, which had been
found by his wife and given to Christ, had
been picked up IN Ckrist's house.
The poetry had been written wears before
to Mr. Christ during the early days of their
courtship.
The attorney for the defense said the
whole theory of the prosecution was based
upon the allegation that Mrs. Hart had
taken a piece of poetry to Christ;
had told him it was written to her
husband by his (Christ's) wife: that she
had excited his passions, had created
within his breast an insane, Jealous rage
that led to this murder. The attorney
closed his argument by saying: "This
witness alone is guilty of the crime, If any
crime has been committed.

Dirorce Court.
PORTLAND, Or. Oct. 26.-Judge
Stearns to-day read his decree in the
sensational divorce case of DR.. George
Wilson against Evelyn E. Wilson. Owing
to the prominence of the parties involved
and the features developed in the trial it
drew large crowd of attentive listeners,
and the decision was eagerly listened to.
A decree of divorce was granted the
plaintiff on the ground of infdelity, the
custody of the children was awarded 70
him, the mother to see them once month
under certain judicial restrictions, and the
order granting the defendant temporary
alimony was annulled.
In rendering the decision the court read
Mrs. Wilson's farewell letter to her hus-
band. which was one of the most pathetic
exhibits ever offered in a court of equity.
AT the conclusion OF the letter there was
not dry eye IN the courtroom. 1t evidenced
the woman's contrition, couched in ele-
CANT language, her heart broken at be-
ing unable to recall the thoughtless past.

Preparing for the Missouri CONVEX

'Silver Dick Band arrived at Pertle

and frame the resolutions which will be
adopted by the democratic silver conven-
ton today. Bland has thrown down the

Bland had not been on hand an hour be-
fore he was out IN the emphatic declara-
ton to a few trusted friends that the time
has arrived Wien the silver men should
assume control of the party machinery.
For publication he refused 10 talk, but
the statement of his declaration OF war is
correct. 1t has excited lively comment.
This declaration Of BANDS is interpreted
to nean that he proposes to fight the cid

that the convention will conclude its work
by Wednesday afternoon easily, and that

upon which to go to the nation for the fight
for free and unlimited coinage of silver.

The Origin of Billiards,
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
In letter dated 1850 which has been
presented to the Bibliotheque Nationale in
Paris, a highly ingenious account is given
of the origin of billiards. The writer de-
clares that billiards were invented in En-
gland about the middle Of the sixteenth
century by pawnbroker named Bill Kew.
This man, 1t is alleged. used his leisure
moments to play on his counter with the
three brass balls which he hung up as
sign. For cue he had yard measure.
whence the term Bill-yard, or Bills yard,
corrupted into billiards. This etymology
will hardly satisfy Mr.. Skeat, but it Is at
least curious as showing to what length
the speculative etymologists are apt to go.
The most astonishing thing about it,
however, Is the fact that it Is the work
OF Frenchman. who might have seen at
a glance that billiards Is merely a corrup-
ton OF his own word billiard" from
billie ball, the termination lard" being
perfectly regular and natural in the com
position of word intended to designate
the table upon which the balls are used

Henry must have driven over Tuesday

I felt conscience stricken because 1 could

father lay dead in the house.
My father was buried as privately and
quietly we could bring it about. But it
was a terrible ordeal Meantime word
came from Vermont that Rufus Bennett
had been arrested on his farm. He was
perfectly willing to come back with the
officers, and, indeed, had not the slightest
trouble in proving that he was at his home
in Vermont when the murder took place.
He proved by several witnesses that he
was out OF the state long before my father

and that he proceeded directly to his home
as fast as the train and stage coach could
carry him.

From an Exchange
The Wayside Inn Is the name of the
handsome new luncheon wagon which the
Church Temperance Society brought to
New York last week to minister to the
hungry and thirsty during the hours of the
day and night. 1t stands in Herald Square,
where the old one. the Owl, has stood for
year. The Owl has been removed to
9th avenue. opposite Bryant Park, in which
busy neighborhood it will continue the
work it began two years ago. when it was
established in Union Square.
Not only in it's outward appearance, but
in its interior fittings the new wagon is
an Improvement on the old. 1t was built
in Worcester Mass. at a cost of $1,000.
and contains everything that is modern
and useful in coffee house ON wheels. "
The original wagon, now about to retire
to 9Th avenue, was the first of the kind to
be introduced to New York. 1t cost $3.50,
the money for its purchase having been
raised through the efforts of the members
of the Woman's Auxiliary of the Church
Temperance Society. Its immediate mis-
sion was to counteract the influence of the
all-night bar rooms then about to be IL
censed. 1t was mustered into service only

that the profits of the business of the Owl
would soon warrant the society in buying
another similar wagon, for 1t was the first
intention of the orginators of the scheme
TO place the wagons in different parts of
the city as fast as possible. During the

So says Mr.. Lewis Nixon, formerly naval
constructor in the United States navy, de-
signer Of the battle ships Indiana and Mas

Elizabethport, N. ].
Mr.. Nixon's experience as designer has
not been limited to ships of war, and his
opinion concerning yachts is that Of an ex-
pert of the first quality. I visited him at
his shipyard yesterday and he gave me
his reasons for believing that the Defender

follows:

easily proven herself superior to the lat
