lrngrnying ON Glass.

A most ingeniously contrived machine
for engraving on glass, insuring the rap
id and economic production of decora
tive work in that line, as also in metal
manufactures of every variety, is de
scribed in Tho English Mechanic.
Among tho merits claimed for this de-
vice is the fact of there being no limit
to the number of objects that may be
operated upon simultaneously, with u
perfect uniformity Of workmanship, and
further, the facility with which this
machine, being of 12 multiplying pow
er, can be operated upon and replaced
with fresh objects, is another important
characteristic, and throo different pat
terms may be produced in one hour on
n single machine. The construction of
this apparatus fulfills the desidoratum
Of great simplicity, it would appear I;
that is, the globes, or whatever il to be
engraved, are fixed on platforms in two

forms being raised or lowered MS desired
by means Of a handle, and the engrav-
ing needles are applied or lot off by n
touch Of the treadle-the pattern TO be

An Irish Students Reply.

it was on this point that we did our best
missionary work.
'If we do get the convention 1t will be
the greatest thing for California that has
come to pass in many year. The gentle
men who come ont here to attend the con-
yention will not be satisfied to merely sit
in crowded hall for few days and then
60 home. Many of those who would other
wise go to Florida or the Bahamas for the
winter will spend their holiday in Cali
fornia instead. They will travel around

what do you think of the efforts al
ready made in the West?"
Judging from conversations with many
prominent men of the East" responded
Mr.. Spreckels, II am of the opinion much
good work has been already done. The eff
forts put forth by our people four years ago
are now bearing fruit. The objections
raised against US have been fairly an
swered. and, think, to the satisfaction of
the party leaders and the members of the
National Committee. 1t is now generally
admitted that orr hotel accommodations

Gate seems long way off to those who
have never made the trip. I may say the
only objection now seriously urged by the
workers of other cities Is that of the dis
lance from the East. But the fact that
such quick time can be and is now being
made greatly weakens that objection. If
the railroad people fix low rate and pro-
vide for through trains with dining-cars
attached the last and only objection would
be removed. Having answered the objec-
tons which others set up against us, it
should be our purpose then to urge every
advantage we have Aside from the
pleasure which the trip itself will afford,
we should make strong plea on the
ground OF the comfort of the delegates
in convention. The plain statement of the
truth regarding the excessive heat in the
East during the month of June is quite
sufficient in itself to induce many to seek
the genial climate of California I am
satisfied that San Francisco has to-day a
good chance of bringing off the conven-
ton here
What are the forces that oppose San
Francisco's ambition 2" was the next ques-
ton put to Mr.. Spreckels.
"Pittsburg has developed into very
formidable rival" he replied. "This is
due to the fact that Mr.. Quay is using
every endeavor to take the convention to
his own city. He has no criticism to make
on California, and the idle objections made
by others seem to have but little influence

Accused of Concocting a Scheme
to Feather His Own
Nest.
DID HE VIOLATE THE CODE 2
A Sensation Sprung in the Garcelon
Trust Litigation at the Last
Moment.

At almost the last moment, when the
arguments were nearly all in and the case
seemed about ready to be submitted to
Judge Hawley, one of those sensations
that have characterized the litigation over
Mrs. Catherine Garcelon's estate cropped
up.
ATTORNEY Philbrook had concluded his
argument, and Arthur Rodgers was about
to begin, when whispered conversation
among the attorneys began and soon re-
suited in the calling of DR.. A. ]. Russell,
one of the trustees of the Merritt Hospital,
to the stand. The attorneys for the plain
tiffs were apparently at a loss to under
stand this move until Mr.. Rodgers asked:
sis it a fact that the trustees of the
Merritt Hospital passed a resolution
granting certain compensation to Judge
StanIy out of the hospital funds to be de-
rived from the estate of Mrs. Garcelon"
Attorney Hayne was on his feet in an in.
slant and objected on the usual grounds
that the matter was irrelevant and imma-
terial and had no bearing on the case.
This thing is started" he said, "to
blacken the character of witness in this
case-Judge Stanly-and should not be
allowed to get into the record"
1T IS intended to show" said Mr.. Rodg-
ers, that Mr.. Stanly had concocted a
scheme to saddle himself for his lifetime
on the Merritt Hospital, even while acting
as trustee of the estate that endows the
institution. He was violating the Penal
Code by his action and knew it. He had
received $25, 900 and some of his own paper
for his services, and was trying to still fur
ther feather his nest to the extent OF
$4,000 year or something like that"
Judge Hawley said that he thought the
question irrelevant, but permitted the wit
ness to answer.
eve passed such matter" answered
DR.. Russell, but he was not permitted to
tell what the resolution contained.
Although he was one of the two trustees,
DR.. Russell betrayed ignorance of the man
ner in which the records had been kept.
To questions as to what had become of
the resolution, who kept the minutes, who
wrote them, where they were, whether the
resolution was spread on the minutes, who
drew it up and other interrogations he
answered in each instance that he did not
know.
Requests that the trustees be ordered to
produce the records of the trustees in court
and that DR.. Russell be instructed to tell
the contents of the document under con-
sideration were denied by Judge HawIey.
Then it was announced by Attorney
Hayne that he would have to place Judge
Stanly on the stand to defend himself
against the insinuations of counsel Mr.
Rodgers also asked DR.. Russell to be on
hand to-day to give further evidence and
the attorney began his argument.
1t is said that other witnesses will also
be heard. Just what they are expected to
prove is not known, but interesting de-
velopments are anticipated

John D. Spreckels crossed the continent

They began talking Valley road as soon
as the greetings were over and did not
cease until the millionaire had reached
his Office on Market street.
The new road is never out of Claus
Spreckels' mind. The first question he
asked his son when he landed from the
steamer at New York related to the road
and he spoke of it all the way across the
continent.
The elder Spreckels spent most of his
time abroad at Marienbad, health resort
in Bohemia, not because he required the
medicinal qualities of the water, but be-
cause it is a pleasant spot and there he
could find rest from business cares. He,
however, found time to visit the European
capitals. The party tarried while in
New York on their way home and Claus
and John D. Spreckels exerted what infu-
ence they had iu trying to persuade the
big men of the Republican party that San
Francisco is the proper place for the con-
Vention.
Il know we stand good chance to get
the convention" said John D. SpreckeIs
yesterday. The delegates as rule are
anxious to come to California-it is still
the land OF gold and romance to most of
the Fasteners. Their inclination is one
strong point in our favor; there are obsta-
cles in the way, OF course, but the delegates
approach the subject with desire to mini
mize the obstacles.
"Pittsburg is our only rival for the con-
vention. Chicago is doing nothing to get
it, and though it would be glad to have
the assembly, it seems sometimes to rest
its case on its geographical position OF
course, Chicago thinks it is entitled to the
convention. 1t had the Worlds Fair and

not satisfied yet.
"Pittsburg is trying to get the conven-

working for her, but 1 think we have the

Will put on fast train leaving Omaha at s
O'Clock in the morning which will reach
Ogden and Salt Lake at 2 o'clock on the

The dispatch does not say whether the
train will reach Ogden at o'clock in the

simply says the following day" To run
the distance from Omaha to Ogden from s
A. NJ. to 2 A. M-eighteen hours-a speed of
sixty miles an hour, including stops, would
have to be attained, which is hardly pos
sible. 1t is therefore thought that O'Clock
OF the following day means that hour in
the afternoon. This can be done by run
ming thirty-five miles an hour, including
stops, which is good time, considering the
extent of the mountain divisions.
