FORMING A BIC COMBINE,
Transcontinental Railway Mag
mates to Agree on Pas
Senger Rates.
The Southern Pacific Notified Of an
important Meeting Of All
the Lines.

General Passenger Agent T. H. Good
man of the Southern Pacific Company re-
ceived dispatch yesterday from Chicago
which informed him that meeting of all
the lines interested in transcontinental
passenger traffic would be held in Chicago
on May %. The telegram was signed by
Is. D. Caldwell, chairman of the temporary
organization, who stated that the report of
a committee recently appointed on plan of
organization would be considered and
other business would be transacted at the
meeting.
The meeting was first called in Novem-
Der last for all lines in the transcontinental
passenger business TO form general asso-
citation. Since then, however, this propo-
sition has been found altogether imprac-
ticable, the proposed combination being
too unwieldy to be managed or bound by
one set of rules. The many varied inter-
ests could not be subserved at one and the
same time, and consequently the only pos
sible prospect would be one of dissatisfac-
ton and discord. Now it is proposed to
organize four associations OF railway pas
senger departments that will have the de-
sired effect of setting standard of rates
for the travelling public to pay without the
least fear of reductions. The plan is to
form Missouri River Association, a South
western Passenger Association with head
quarters at st. Louis, Transcontinental
, Passenger Association and to reorganize
the Western Passenger Association, which
affects California. 1t will be discussed at
the Chicago meeting, and as the general
sentiment favors combining, prospects are
very fair for comprehensive compact that
will cover the whole country and put an
end to cutting passenger rates for long
time to come-so long at least as the rail-
way corporations pool their issues in a
common cause.
Vice-President ]. G. Stubbs of the South
ern Pacific Company has been in Chicago
and st. Louis for nearly two weeks, and
has great deal to do with the work of or
ganizing the com ine. 1t is likely he will
remain and attend the meeting on May %
at Chicago.

TRIED TO TWIST FACTS,
Queer Statement of the Nc
Clintock Shooting Dictated
by SomerS.
Attorney Ames Offended by Re-
fuSing to Swear to a
Falsehood.

The strange veins of double-dealing.
falsehood and still more serious charges
which have been revealed in the suit of
for malicious prosecution, now pending in
Judge Uaingerfields court, continued to
crop out yesterday.
Witness Fisher Ames was on the stand
all day. and round him Attorneys Rix,
Mhoon and Watt waged incessant war.
Occasionally through the sharp volleys of
objections could be heard stray scraps of
testimony from the witness shedding more
or less light on the springs of action which
are moving the present bitter controversy.
There was considerable sparring over the
admission of the testimony of Mrs. Tread
we'll in the case of Ames VS.. Treadwell to
recover the amount due for personal SER
vices.
1t was shown, however, that she had de-
MED that Ames was employed in the case
against LOOMS, that she had wanted to be
a witness and that she had wanted Ames
to be a witness.
In this connection Ames had offended
her because he had refused to go on the
stand and swear to lie. The nature of
the lie required was gathered from curl
GUS SIdleIuSHG VI Tie llle Vi prosecution
which was to be submitted to Ames for his
guidance i'll prosecuting Loomis. The
statement was written in the handwriting
of Mrs. Somers, but it was shown that it
had been dictated to her by Somers, show
ing his animus against LOOMS, although
he knew he was innocent. The object of
the statement, which was to throw the
onus of aggression upon Loomis, ran as
follows:
The prosecution will show that Joseph Nc
Clintock was employed by Calvin Somers as
detective to ascertain whether one George
Hudson, an attorney of this City, had in his
possession volume OF testimony, part of the
record of the Superior Court; that McClintock
was introduced to Somers by Loomis; that not
withstanding McClintock was employed
directly by Somers LOOMS was meeting Nc
Clintoek and endeavoring to have McClintock
in his employment; that on the day of the de-
fendant's committing the crime Loomis ex-
pecteG to meet McClintock at the Dividend
saloon on Leidesdorff street for the purpose of
having McClintock report to him; that Nc
Clintock did not desire to report to Loomis
but went directly to Somers at his place of
residence; that while McClintock was there
Loomis entered, and finding McClintock re-
porting to SOmers said, what, you here?" and
subsequently remarked II have bone TO pick
with McCHntock'; that Loomis proceeded to
join in the conversation between Somers and
McClintock and accused McClintock of not
doing his duty, that McChntock replied that
whoever said he had not done his duty told
lie; that for this outSpOken remark LOomis
instantly rose and, aiming al the head of Nc
Clintock, proceeded at once to "pick the bone"
and shot McCEntock in the jaw, fracturing it.
Ames' examination consumed the re-
mainder of the day.

DR.. s. S. Stambaugh, Otto tum SUDDEN, c..
r. Holiday, John f. Hanlan, DR.. Alexan-
der McBoyle and 7. A. Rottanzi. The
medical testimony as to the possibility of
such crime being committed by person
in Mrs. Worthington's condition was par
ticularly strong for the defense.
Mrs. Brennan, the defendants sister,
testified that Mrs. Worthington's uncle
had died in an English insane asylum,
that sister of herself and the defendant
had died at an early age, having been
"soft and afflicted from birth with apha-
STA, caused by brain trouble, and that
Mrs. Worthington herself had always been
considered weak-minded by her family.
She was mistaken by cross-examination.
Mrs. Worthington herself was called.
In weak, faltering voice she told the
story of her connection with the shooting
She admitted the strange fascination ex-
erted over her at first by Baddeley and
how her feelings had changed to disgust
and positive repulsion.
81 was sick in my head all the time"
she said simply, land he would come
round bothering me. One time he insulted
me by proposals, and l tried to shoot him.
| aimed at him three times, but did not
hit him. Then l saw him watching the
house, and l thought don't know what
/ thought. Ny mind was a blank He
logged me around"
The defense then proceeded to question
her as to the events more nearly preced-
ing the tragedy, but the apparent agita-
ton and weakness of the defendant wit
ness prevented their getting very far in
this line.
Mrs. Worthington will be on the stand
again this morning.

MRS, WORTH|NGTON TALKS|
On Trial for Her Life She
Pleads Her Past IRE
SponSibility.
HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME.
Her Counsel Make a Decided Hit
by Calling Her to the
Stand.

EFor the first time since the tragic shoot
ing of Henry Baddeley in 1898, his slayer
had an opportunity yesterday to tell her
feelings in the matter and explain the cir
cumstances leading up to the rash act.
Acting under the advice of counsel she
had hitherto refrained from testifying.
Yesterday, however, her attorneys, Haskell
and Guilfoyle, resolved on bold coup and
called her to the stand.
William Worthington, the defendants
husband, was first on the stand yesterday
and cross-examined as to his knowlege of
his wife's peculiar mental and physical
condition at the time of the shooting. The
prosecution failed to shake his simple
statement that his wife's health was abnor-
NAL at that time, and that she had been
led away by her naturally weak and con-
fiding nature in her dealings with Bad
deley.
His testimony was born out by that of

PROTECTING THE RIVERS.
Hydraulic Miners to Be Sued for Not
Complying With the Anti
Debris Law.

A suit under the anti-debris law will be
begun in the United States District Court
to-day.
During the last session of Congress an act
was passed which requires all hydraulic
mines to be examined by the Anti-debris
Commission. All mine managers and
mine-owners have to file petition to have
their mines examined, and those failing
are liable to fine and imprisonment under
the act.
The North Bloomfield Mining Company.
which operates on the banks of the South
Yuba River, has been derelict in this re-
spect and Uncle Sam will now proceed to
enjoin it from being operated until the
commission can inspect the ground and
ascertain whether the nav:gability of the
river is endangered.
In talking about the matter Yesterday
Assistant United States District Attorney

1t is the first time in the history of California

Very Encouraging Reports of the Hutch

pany's Affairs.

Very Encouraging Reports of the Hutch
inson Sugar Plantation Com
pany's Affairs.
At the annual meeting of the Hutchin-
son Sugar Plantation Company held yes
terday at 1927 Market street reports were
presented that show the condition of the
company to be more prosperous than at
any time during the preceding five years.
The plantation is at Kau, Hawaii. 1t
covers 5000 acres of land, 5000 of which
are in sugarcane. The remainder is pas
ture land, on which roam 5000 head of cat
tie and 500 horses, colts and mules. The
secretary reported that the crop for 1894
was about 5000 tons. The season at the
islands was the dryest in five years and the
price of raw sugar in the market was the
lowest ever known.
In spite of all this the company had re-
sumed the payment of monthly dividends
for the first time in five years. Last
month the first dividend was declared,
and the prospects are that they will be
continued every month hereafter. The
stockholders feel very much encouraged.
At the meeting yesterday $1,000 out of
$4,000 shares of stock were represented, and
the old board was reelected. They are:
Claus Spreckels, president; John A. Buck
e-president; Nicholas Ohlandt, Myer
Ehrman and Leon Sloss. J. D. Spreckels
& Bros. Company is the treasurer, and e.
II. Sheldon is the secretary.

TO TEST CIVIC POWERS.
Suit Brought Against the City
to CirCumscribe Its
Credit.
Wallace Bradford Asks the Courts
for a Perpetual Injunc-
ton.

In the present juncture of municipal
curtailed credit an interesting suit was
filed yesterday by a citizen, who expects
the City creditors to intervene, asking the
Superior Court to enjoin the City Off ials
from mourning Indebtedness for the next
fiscal year.
The suit is entitled Wallace Bradford vs.
The City and County of San Francisco,
and then follows the names of the indi-
vidual Supervisors and William Broderick
and James H. Widber.
The plaintiff sues as a taxpayer. and re-
cites the fact that the Board of Supervisors
in July, 1894, estimated the sum to be paid
out Of the general fund during the present
fiscal year at $2,601 1857, including an item
of 81 1903, 760 to be raised by taxation, and
levied tax of $0.5643 on every hundred dol
lars OF taxable property assessed at $780,
OOO, 900.
The complaint then recites that the reve-
nue. OF the City and County for the year
will not exceed $2,503, 900; that up to May
l, 1895, the claims against the City aggre-
gated 2,423 900, and that after this had
been satisfied there only remained in the
treasury $4,000.
he further maintains that the salaries
provided by law will amount to the sum of
S14O,0 Tor the months of MAY and June,
1888, and the sum of $3.50 900 will be largely
In excess of the aggregate amount of the
money, in the general fund on May 1, 1895,
and all other sums TO be paid into the gen.
erai fund in the fiscal year; that the board
largely overestimated the receipts and
underestimated the expenditures.
Then he recites the amounts required for
the various public institutions. aggregat-
ing about $145,0 900, and states that the
board is taking steps to order supplies,
although it has already exceeded the reve-
nue. provided in the sum by about sos ,000
ALI this without the assent of two-thirds
OF the qualified electors required for the
mourning OF any Indebtedness exceeding
the income provided for such year.
The complaint prays for an injunction
against the Supervisors levying for the
deiehclency on the next fiscal year as unjust,
Illegal and oppressive. He declares that
the Supervisors, Treasurer and Auditor
have soiemnly pledged themselves to carry
out such levy whereby he estimates that
such deficiency for the year 1S94-95 will
ensue to the amount of $3.50, 900, of which
$l45,OO will result from the action of the
said defendants in causing the needed sup
plies to be furnished.
Therefore Bradford asks that the Super
visors. Treasurer and Auditor be perpetu-
ally enjoined from mourning any further
indebtedness or imposing further expenses
on the City during May and June, 1895,
and from levying any tax for the fiscal
year of 1856.

Home Mission Society of the Methodist
Episcopal churches of this City was held
yesterday afternoon in the Japanese
church, Mrs. L. j. Sims, president, pre-
siding.
The superintendent of the deaconesses'
home at 315 Castro street, Mrs. Helen l.
Benson, presented her report, showing in
detail the amount of work done during the
past month. The work of the deaconesses
is to visit the sick, the poor and the dis
tressed under instructions from the pastors
of the several churches, render such aid as
they can and teach those they visit to be
Christians. They visit all creeds, and
while they teach Christianity they make
no proselytes. The deaconesses are four in
number, and they have under their care at
this time five students, who are preparing
themselves for the work their teachers are
engaged in.
The superintendent stated that with the
approach of the close of the school year
wO had increased in a marked degree,
thai excellent lectures were being given by
ministers, and that the churches are taking
a great deal of interest in the work that
the deaconesses are engaged in. She cited
q number of cases she had visited. particu-
larry at the Home for Incurables, where
the inmates, who by reason of disease are
unable to move, declared that their visits
were like sunshine. Like the young ladies
of the Fruit and Flower Mission the dea-
conesses distribute flowers, fruit and deli
cacies to the sick, and also distribute read
ing-matter, and in addition act as nurses
to rich or poor.
Mrs. Benson during the meeting received
silver badge, on which is engraved "Dea-
coness Bible Training Glass" and exhibited
it to the ladies of the board "The car
companies" said she, ''refuse to allow us
to ride free on the mere evidence of our
dress probably because it is so much like the
ordinary street dress, but think they will
let us ride on these badges"

Progress of the Chinese and Japanese
Missions In This City

The missions are in charge of Mrs

Each of these missionaries visits the fam

the Chinese Mission, where Mrs. Howell is
making her house to house visits the
school is in charge of a Chinese minister,
who instructs the pupils in the Chinese

Chinese parents born in this country
must be taught the language of his par
