A New Haven County Man wIIi Not he
 Appointed by Governor Coffin.
 It looks now as if the many New Haven county aspirants for the position of judge of the superior court will be disappointed. Unless the best tokens count for naught Governor Cofin will nominate about the middle of February, William T. Elmer of Middletown as superior court judge.
 It is understood that of the lawS CTS in this county who sought the judgeship. James P. Platt of Meriden and Edwin B. Gager of Derby were most favored by the governor. But the claims Of these two men to recognition were so equal that the executive decided to ignore both as the best alternative and choose Judge Elmer Attorney Platt is the son of United States Senator Platt and besides his fathers sup port he was backed by Congrnssman-elect N. D. Sperry. Judge Gager of Derby was put forward and supported by leading men in the party in the Nsugatuck valley.
 There are half dozen or more other candidates in New Haven who are still hoping and who are striving to get the judgship, now all but lost to them. Among them IS Judge Bradstreet of this city

 Editor of the DEMOCRAT:
 The story published in one of the Sun- day papers to the effect that Hector Mar tel lett town taking with him seversl hun dred dollars which he had collected for St Joseph's church. is pronounced false by Rev Joseph Zebris. pastor of the Lithuanian church. Father Zebris says that MT Martel made satisfactory returns of all moneys collect.d by him for the church fund. and will produce his books to prove it. He says it is true that some of this money was paid to Mir Martel for his services as organist. Ills further stated that those who have circulated this report about Mr Martel have done him a great injustice. The amount he collected for the church was only &25 or $30.

STUDIED SW|FT'S COMET,
Calculations at Berkeley Uni
versity Verify Its
Orbit.
Professor Leuschner Presents Some
Interesting Data on the
Newcomer.

BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 29.-"The orbit
of Professor Swift's new comet, which was
published in The CALL of August q, and
computed at Berkeley, has turned out to
represent the motion of the comet excep-
tionally well, )" said Professor Leuschner OF
the students observatory to-day. . This
fact showed that the computation was not
only correct, but that the observations OF
Professor Barnard, on which were based
the calculations, were exceedingly accurate.
When seen this afternoon at the observa-
tory, Professor Leuschner said that the
report that Professor Holden was respon-
sible for an incorrect transmission of the
data connected with the new discovery was
unfounded.
Continuing, he said: "Further observa-
tions by Professor Barnard have been re-
ceived by Professor Holden. and COM
parison of these with the position of the
comet as predicted from my elements
shows that the result is in every way salts
factory"
The apparent motion of the comet can
be best followed by means of the ephemeris

MRS. ARNOLD's PURSE.
James Brennan Under Examination fol
Stealing 1t.

The preliminary examination OF James
Brennan, charged with grand larceny in
stealing purse containing $40 from Mrs.
NJ. A. Arnold at the entrance to the Grand
Southern Hotel, was commenced before
Judge Low yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Arnold testified 10 seeing the old
man Brennan and two young men close
behind her when she missed her purse.
One of the young men was Harry ]. Lock
wood. She related the facts as already
published about Lockwood handing her
back the purse and the pursuit of Brennan.
Lockwood, who is also charged with the
same offense, testified that he never saw
the old man Brennan or the other young
man before the day OF the theft. He was
passing at the time and heard Mrs. Arnold
call out that her purse had been stolen.
He followed Brennan and his companion
and saw Brennan pull something out of
his side pocket and hand it to the young
man. Lockwood said to the latter, drop
that pursel" but he threw it into the gar
den of house and ran. Lockwood picked
up the purse and handedit to Mrs. Arnold.
There appeared to be some silver in it. DGt
Mrs. Arnold said that two $50 gold pieces
were missing.
Detective cambridge handed in Bren-
mans record, which showed that he had
served several terms in San Quentin for
robbery and burglary.
The attorney for Brennan was granted
continuance till to-day as he wanted to
produce some witnesses.

The Anti-Japanese Petition to Congress
Sent Out To-Day.

The Anti-Japanese Petition to Congress
Sent Out To-Day.
Several weeks ago complaint was made to
the Labor Commissioner that the laborers
were being worked on the county roads
over eight hours day and in violation of
the State law. The Commissioner sent a
letter to the Board of Public Works of Oak
land in which he inquired as to the hours
that laborers were employed upon public
work. On the 9th the board sent the fol-
lowing reply:
AT regular meeting OF the Board OF Public
Works, held on the above date, your communi-
cation in reference to hours of labor OF street
employees was ordered answered as follows: In
the past the laborers of the Streets Department
have worked for nine hours per day, but are
now being only required TO work eight hours
per day. All contracts for. public work let by
the City Council or the Board of Pubic works
have the eight-hour clause inserted therein In
compliance with section 3245 of the Political
Code of California.
The agitation of the eight-hour law has
practically put stop to overworklng the
public laborers in Alameda County.
On Sunday morning a carload OF nifty
grape pickers will be sent to Fresno. In
the afternoon four cars, containing 200
men, women and children, will be sent by
the bureau to the hopyardS near Pleas
anton, Alameda County.
To-day Commissioner Fitzgerald will
send to all the newspapers and labor or
CARNATIONS in the State copies of the
memorial and petition that he will pre-
sent to Congress, requesting the passage
of a Japanese cody exclusion act. He
hopes to secure over 100000 signatures to
the petition.

HOME PRODUCED TOBACCO
Finest Quality of the Smokers
Weed Can Be Grown in i
California.
MILLIONS IN THE BUSINESS.
Experiences of j. d. Culp, Who
Spent Years Perfecting the
Process of Culture.

Tobacco growing in California is one of
many industries that are yet in their in
fancy in this State, but which may in
time become one of as great magnitude
'and Importance as any that depend upon
climatic conditions, soil qualifications and
the energy of the farmer for development.
That tobacco can be raised in California
is no longer mooted question, as is DEM
onstrated by j. D. Cuip of San Felipe,
Santa Clara County. the pioneer and larg-
est tobacco raiser in the State.
Mr.. Culp has on exhibition at the Me-
chanics' Fair quantity OF tobacco grown
on his ranch at San Felipe, and there
shows the process OF grading and stripping
the tobacco and making cigars, the quality
of which is pronounced excellent by smok-
ers we'll qualified to judge the merits OF
the weed.
Mr.. Culp was raised on tobacco planta-
ton at the East where he acquired thor
ough knowledge of tobacco culture. He
came to California in 1859 for the purpose
of embarking in the business. That year

avenues, having made objections, and
various excuses were afterward offered to
explain the boards oversight.
The fill from the Potrero to South San
Francisco and the paving of this thorough
fare and etceteras, have cost the property
owners fully $500, 900. Speaking of the ex-
tension idea, DR.. Todd said yesterday:
do not think it will be difficult now to have
the avenue extended, as many of the property
owners who protested against it at first are
now in favor OF it. The large estates, like the
Hearst, Croker and Kittle properties and the
Hudson tract, have never said anything one
way or the other, so am led to believe they
are not opposed to it. The Market-street Rail-
way Company owns the old Bay View tract ont
there, and if the avenue was extended it would
be very likely to extend its electric line and do
something with that property, probably con-
verting 1t into some sort OF pleasure ground.
A little street work and some building
improvements are constantly going on in
South San Francisco. Twelfth avenue is
being graded between M and P streets, and
P street between Eleventh and Thirteenth
avenues, and NJ street between Tenth and
Eleventh avenues, are being macadamized.

OAQ Rrnadmau A11n11st 90 (

The legality of collecting fares on Sew
enth street will probably be tested in
short time on account of complaint made
to the Mayor by Mr.. Downie of Ninth
street.
Two days ago Mr.. Downie purchased a
ticket to go to San Francisco. He got on
the train at Berkeley, and as soon as he
was seated he saw friend on the street to
whom he wished to speak. He got off the
car and talked about half a minute to his
friend, and when boarding the car was re-
fused admittance. He showed his ticket,
but the gateman refused to recognize it as
it was punched. Mr.. Downie said some
thing about its not having done any duty,
but the gateman was obdurate and told
Downie to go to the office and get another
ticket.
Just at that moment Mayor Davie walked
past the gate where Downie and the gate
man were arguing. Downie called to him.
whats the matter2" asked Davie; and
Downie explained.
acct aboard" said the Mayor. "Don't
pay any attention to this man. Get
aboard"
There is an ordinance in this city" said
his Honor to the gateman, that prohibits
the collection of fares on Seventh street,
and it provides for the arrest of any one
demanding it. Now if you want me to
arrest you just try that little game on, and
if you don't, behave yourself and don't say
another word"
The gateman behaved himself, and Mr..
Downie went to the City without paying
two fares and the Mayor walked off.
There is some talk of the ordinance
being unconstitutional" said the Mayor
to-day, "but the best plan to determine its
constitutionality is to test it. But what
ever may be the case regarding the pay
about requiring a man to pay two. am
now taking legal advice regarding the fare
collecting on Seventh street, and in day
or two l shall be prepared to act.'

Which shows as seen from the earth the
comet will continue its easterly motion
and will soon after September 5 cease its
northerly motion. While the comet at the
time of its discovery was approaching the
earth it's relative motion with respect to the
earth became stationary about the begin
ming of this week and it is now receding from
both sun and the earth, SO that this comet
too will pass out of sight without having
become visible to the naked eye. AT pres
ent its brightness as derived from the ele-
ments will decrease, but slowly so that it
may remain under observation for some
weeks to come. Professor Leuschner said:
1.-THE above ephemeris was telegraphed
off early this morning, which will enable
other observatories to pick it up easily.
Like Swift's comet of last year the calcula-
ton of this orbit was connected with I'M
usual difficulties, but l was nobly assisted
in the calculations by Instructor Pierce,
Mr.. Wright, fellow in mathematics, and
Mr.. Seares, assistant in the students OBJ
servatory." So far no other elements
agreeing with the calculations of Professor
Leusehner have been received at the
students observatory, but the close agree
ment of the above ephemeris with the last
Mount Hamilton would seem to place the
correctness of Professor Leuschne1's OBJ
servauions beyond doubt.
Referring again to the work of computa
ton he said: "Under ordinary circum-
stances it is not necessary to take into
account several directions in the calcula-
ton of preliminary orbits like this one,
especially when the geocentric motion of
the comet is very rapid, but in this case
the utmost accuracy was necessary to OBJ
tain any kind of satisfactory results from
the small arc which the comet described
from August 81 to August % and on which
the observations were based.
''As to the periodicity of the comet, all
that can be said now is that the small in
clination of its orbit makes it probable that
the comet may return again or that it is
not its first appearance. On the other
hand, the close agreement between the
parabolic elements deduced at the stu
dents observatory with the observations
suggests that the comet will pass into
space never to return again."
