When the dried aprlcots and other
fruits of Santa Clara alley can ue sent TO
England and made into choice jellies
with attractive labels, shipped back to
the United States, and even TO California,
and sold at fancy prices. there should be
no question about the profitable invest
ment OF capital in manufacturing such
things at home. And this has been done
for years and Will doubtless be done
again this year. No wonder that times
are said to be hard when such opportuni-
ties of making money and employing
labor are persistently ignored. ANY
country would soon be poor il it shipped
all its raw material 10 foreign countries
to be manufactured and brought them
back again. And yet that is Just what
we are doing in Santa Clara Valley all the
time. Somebody Will come here some
day and show us what we are losing by
this policy. They will take our splendid
fruits and convert them into essences,
jellies and such like that will command
the wonder and admiration of the whole
world, ard bring such profits as our pres
ent fruit-growers and fruit-driers have
never even dreamed OF. Surely there
ought to be somebody in this valley even
now with energy and intelligence enough
to show that old settlers can do as much
as newcomers.

THE MADEIRA ARSON CASE,
Achille FournierH Secures His
Freedom on a Writ of
Habeas Corpus.
Anderson, the Confessed Incen-
diary, Now on Trial for the
Crime.

FRESNO, CAL, Sept. 28.-The petition
of Achille Fourier, charged with arson at
MADEIRA, for writ of habeas corpus was
granted by Judge Carter to-day, and Four
nier is now a free man.
The case was an interesting one in many
respects. Fourier was charged with start
ing the big fire in MADEIRA over two months
ago. Fournier's buildings were burned,
and it was alleged that he had applied the
match to get the insurance.
At his preliminary examination Four
nier was bound over, and he has been In
the Fresno County Jail ever since for safe
keeping.
After he had been held Fournier made
an application before Judge Conley OF
MADEIRA for writ of habeas corpus, but
the Judge refused to entertain a hearing.
The case was then taken to the Supreme
Court, which ordered that the habeas
corpus proceedings be heard in the Su-
perior Court of this county.
In granting the petition Judge Garter
said that the only evidence against -Four.
nier was the confession of Andrew Ander-
son. who admitted that he had set the fire
and had been paid So so by Fournier to do
it. But it was plain that Anderson had
made this confession under duress, and he
had afterward denied the truth of it. He
is now on trial in MADEIRA on the charge oil
arson.
1t is reported that the MADEIRA authori-
ties intend to rearrest Fournier.

SCENE OF WILD DISORDER,
The Convention of Sacramento
Democrats Ended in a
Tumult.
Delegates Left Their Seats and
Refused to Listen to the
Chairman.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 29.-The
Democratic convention, which convened
in Armory Hall this evening for the pur.
pose of nominating candidates for city
offices, was the hottest affair of its kind
that has ever occurred in this city.
The first battle of the evening occurred
over the election of temporary chairman
which consumed over two hours.
The candidates for the position were J.
w. Hughes. who was named, presumably
by the Steinman faction, and G. M Harri-
son, nominated by the opposition. The
vote was taken by rollcall, and was so
close that for nearly two hours no decision
was arrived at, and the hall became scene
of pandemonium.
The boots and yells were deafening and
incessant; fights were of frequent occur
renee, but were quickly quelled by the po-
lice who, although powerless to pre- erve
any semblance of order, prevented riot
which at times seemed imminent. Event
ually Mr.. Hughes was announced as hav-
ing secured the honor by one vote. The
total number cast was PIG, Hughes receiv-
ing ITO and Harrison 100.
When the report of the committee on
credentials stated that proxies would be
allowed to be voted there was an amend
ment added that the report be changed so
as not to allow the voting of proxies. A
rollcall was demanded, and Chairman
Hughes decided that proxies could be
used to decide the question. There was an
immediate uproar, members leaving their
chairs and rushing up to the rostrum.
All the sergeants-at-arms were swept
aside and the chairman declared he would
entertain no motion until order was re-
stored. The delegates refused to return to
their seats and at o'clock they were still
singing Eve won't go home till morning
at the top of their lungs, with no posi-
bility of any nominations tonight.

OLD WORLD POLITICS
Continued from First Pdoe.

GUMS neutrality between its big neigh
bors is literally the breath of its nostrils.
If it ventured to play the smallest trick
with that Germany would crush it like a
fly on pane, and all intelligent, prosper
Gus Belgians comprehend this perfectly.
The sweeping capture of the Vienna Mu-
nicipal Council by the Anti-Semites is
treated everywhere as involving great
deal more than local politics. The foreign
ambassadors at the Austrian court have
notified their Governments of it as if it
were of international importance.
The campaign OF which it is the culmin-
alton offers many parallels to the memoir
able Boulangist epidemic in France. The
victorious party is coalition of a lot of
restless elements, sweeping up together
extreme clericals. the ultra-feudal aristoc-
racy and all shades of the proletariat down
to the labor agitators and socialists. The
numerical and financial strength of the
Jews in Vienna, as in most other cisleithan
towns, makes hostility to them the most
telling pretext for this crusade, but the
real fruits of the victory will be all reaped
by the clericals, who have already pre-
pared plans for undoing the work of the
Liberal school laws of 1868. Their leader,
DR.. Luger, who is to be First Burgomaster,
enjoys a newspaper boom of extraordinary
dimensions, and, being interviewed right
and left, talks as if he were hardly second
in Importance to the Emperor himself.
1t would be impossible in any case to
keep this murrain entirely out of the i'm
perial politics, but the accident that the
new civil marriage law in Hungary comes
into effect Tuesday links two things to-
gether, and they are certain between them
to shape issues for the coming parliament
tary sessions in both parts of the dual
monarch. Just as the Liberals are tri-
umphing steadily in Hungary they are 60
ing to the wall in Austria, so that the eter-
nal religious feud is growing rapidly into
a racial struggle as we'll. 1t appears that
the Avignon people seriously believe that
when the Pope dies the French Govern
ment intends inviting the college of Car
dinals to assemble in the ancient papal seat
on the Rhone to elect successor.
Acting on this understanding the Town
Council, though bitterly radical in poll
tics, has voted a carte blanche grant i'm
mediately to restore the mcdowell palace
grounds and demolish the ramparts which
prevent fresh buildings on that side OF the
town. The Mayor Of the city, who is the

AS FUNNY AS A CIRCUS.
They Hail From HeaIdsburg
and Are a Bad Lot of
Red Men.
CUT OFF THEIR VICTIMS EAR
The Man Was Left for Dead, but
Managed to Give the
Alarm.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Sept. 28.-Indians
crowded the corridors of the Courthouse
yesterday. There were more Indians
about the big county building than had
been seen for many days. They were
dressed in true civilized Indian style.
The ladies were profusely ornamented by
bright new handkerchiefs, and a mum Der
of them showed evidence of recent ia
miliarity with comb and brush. Some
of the red gentlemen looked neat, but the
majority of them were uncombed.
They were all in good spirits, for there is
nothing they enjoy more than attendance
at court To them it is the next thing in
point of interest to circus, and they watch
the attorneys as they handle the witnesses
as intently as they view the funny little
encounters that take place between the
Jolly clowns inside the big tent. They
seldom say anything while in the court
room.
Occasionally they smile and nudge each
other in the ribs, but that is all. They
look and listen.
The case which brought them here was
that of The People VS.. Willis Dugan and
Jim Frego, Healdsburg Indians, charged
with making an assault with intent to
commit murder on the .person of P.
Alberigo. The trouble is said to have &C.
Cured in cabin near Healdsburg.
1t is claimed that the Indians went into
Alberigos cabin and made an assault upon
him with knives, injuring him severely.
Among the witnesses called for the
prosecution are J. c. ingalls,, Charles
| Truett, c. A. Mason, l.. A. Norton, Peter
Alberigo, DR.. Ward and n. Gusti. The
evidence so far would indicate that the
| two Indians were the worse for liquor
when they went to the cabin door of the
| Italian, who refused to let them in.
They then proceeded to force the door
with a mattock. Then they went for the
Italian, who was unarmed and defenseless.
One of the Indians picked up a sharp hook
used for cutting brush and while his CON-
panion held their victim inflicted twenty
| four severe wounds on the poor Italian.
The poor mans bead was literally
scalped on one side. The right ear was
| cut off close to the skull. In holding up
| his right hand as a man will do some
times in defending himself he had the
middle finger cut clear through to the
bone.
AS soon as the two Indians left the
Italian managed to crawl to neighbor's
house, when the alarm was raised and the
Indians were soon captured and placed in
the calaboose at Healdsburg. How the
Italian managed to escape being killed is a
great wonder.

NEVADA ELECTION CONTESTS.
Il Decision affecting the Marking of
Australian Ballots.

Australian Ballots.
CARSON, NEv., Sept. 28.-The Supreme
Court yesterday reversed the decision of
the lower court in the Humboldt and
Washoe County election cases.
The lower court held that certain marks
on the Australian ballots were marks of
Identification placed there for purpose.
The Supreme Court held that they were
placed there to indicate the preference of
the voter.
The decision will result in the removal
of Sheriff w. H. CaughIin (Rep. of Washoe
County and the seating OF William Hayes
(Silverite). The Humboldt County Dis
trict Attorney, General Buckner, silver
man, will retain his seat, having secured it
pending the decision. W. S. Lynip is con-
testing. The decision is important, as it
settles various controversies arising from
the marking of ballots.

STATE FAIR RETURNS.
Indebtedness of the Society Decreased
Eiqht thousand Dollars.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 28.-The
executive and finance committees of the
State Board of Agriculture met yesterday
to audit bills and adjust the finances of the
society for another year.
The Indebtedness of the society when
the fair opened aggregated nearly $24 200,
and the management had hoped to lift one
half or more of the debt, but the unseason-
able rain proved a barrier to that result.
As it was, they have succeeded in reducing
it about $4,000, which, in addition to the
expenses of the year, is quite satisfactory
to the directorate. The committee believes
that the rains and delays of the parades
cost the society fully $4,000. The park
was leased for another year to Willard
Gardner, the present lessee.
