TOM GATOR IN TROUBLE
The Well Known Popullst Politician Arrested
for Assault to Murder


San Francisco, March 4.-Thomas ".
Gator, the well known politician and late
candidate for United States Senator on
the Populist ticket, was arrested this
morning and charged with an assault to
murder. The man who preferred the
charge is W. r. Hervey, music teacher
From Gators account of the affair, Her.
vey and he were in the house of friend
on jackson street.
They began to quarrel over some bust
ness matter and their argument led to
heated words. Both men were talking
violently to each other when Hervey put
his hand on his hip pocket. Gator said
he was afraid Hervey was going to shoot,
so he lCator) drew pistol. No shots
were fired but as soon as Gator drew his
pistol Hervey went into the street and
found Policeman Langford and had Gator
arrested. He was taken to the North End
station and gave the name of Charles
Jones, but afterwards admitted that he
was Thomas V. Gator, the politician.
Gator was taken to the new city hall and
was released at 2 o'clock on $1,000 bonds.
Charles Jones, otherwise Thomas V.
Gator, was discharged in the Police Court
today. When the case was called, Gator
and Hervey were both in court, and both
asked that the charge of assault with a
deadly weapon be dismissed.
Your Honor" said Gator, this is
private matter between ourselves and we
want to let it drop. This is my brother
in law, and it is family affair. u LIT It is
all over now" said Hervey, the brother
in-law, 'and we are good friends again.
The Evening Bulletin states that the
trouble arose over the payment of alimony
allowed by the courts to Gators divorced
wife, Hervey having acted in the capacity
OF collector for Mrs. Gator. Hervey, it is
alleged had been too persistent in dun
ming the orator and Gator went to Her
vey's home to settle the matter once for
all time. During the encounter that en-
sued Hervey called in che police. Strange
ly enough, it was Hervey who appeared at
the city prison later this morning and
bailed Gator out in the sum of $30OG.s

from Valley Field the scene of the double
murder between Friday night and Satur-
day morning, when Joy 10y and Maxine
LeBouf We're shot dead by Brittle Shorts,
shows that the murderer's motive was
robbery. He expected to get away with
$4,000, which Paymaster Lowe was start
ing out to pay the employees of the Mon
treal Coal Company on Saturday. Since
his dismissal from the service OF the COM

his mother informing him that they were
ruined and he would have to shift for
himself. Although not hard up, the
thought drove him to desperation and he
committed the terrible deed.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Very Peculiar Case Comes to Light In
Fresno

Fresno, March A peculiar case of
mistaken identity has come to light in
this city. About month ago man was
found dead on the bank Of canal five
miles north of Fresno, and an inquest was
held. Dozens of people identified him as
Alolph Butcher, and the body was buried
by Bucher's friends. Last night Adolph
Butcher came to town, and was as much
surprised at the news that he was sup
posed to be buried as his friends were to
see him alive. What makes the case more
surprising is that the real Adolph Butcher,
who has been employed for several months
on a ranch north Of this city, left the
ranch the same day the body was found
dead.
There never had been any question as to

San Francisco, March 4.-Judge Coffey
today handed down long and deliberately
written opinion granting a new trial in
the Hendy will case. Joshua Hendy, who
was a machinery builder in this city, died
short time ago, leaving an estate of

sive of other relatives. Suit was brought
by q son and other members of the family
to set aside che WILL on the ground of
undue influence, and jury decided in
their favor after long trial. A new trial
is now granted on the ground that the
evidence was not sufficient to show that
there was collision and undue influence.

Fancy Diving.

Capital exhibitions Of fancy diving
are often given from the pier at One
Hundred and fifty-ffth street and the
Hudson River, New York. Dives from
the top of piers fifteen or eighteen feet
above the water are gracefully accom-
plished, varied by back-hand springs,
somersaults and 'twist." A daring
dive was made the other day by a
young man from tall pier. The cable
of steamer stretched to the pier, pass
ing about eight feet in front Of where
the athlete stood. Yet he cleared 1t
nicely In his dive. Excellent long-dis-
lance swimmers are to be seen here
also. Some Of them think nothing Of a
haunt to the New Jersey side, although
the Hudson is broad river at this
point. One young woman has crossed
several times. It takes her about an
hour to swim across.

A STEAMSHIP POOL.
Storage Rates Raised-Passage Of
All Classes will Go Up
Wy Soon.

New York, Nov. 28.-A local paper
says that before December 4, when an
agreement which the Continental steam
ship lines have just ratified, goes into eff
feet, an increase is steerage rates will
be announced. This is probably one of
the most important steps ever taken by
the steamship companies toward the or
ganization of cast iron pool. 1t is the
forerunner Of scheme, according to
well informed steamship men, to ad.
vance first and second-class rates of
transatlantic travel as well. 1t is pool
ing of issues similar to the recently
formed railroad combination in which
competition is put out of the question
and the profits of the companies inter-
ested are increased. Thus far only the
American, Anchor, Cunard, Allan, State
and White Star lines are interested in
the pool 1t is understood, however,
that overtures will be made to the re-
naming transatlantic lines, and already
the question of an universal formation
has been placed before these lines.

PRACTICALLY DISFRANCHISED.
Negroes Unjustly Treated by the South
Carolina Convention.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 28.-The state
constitutional convention will adjourn
sine die next Tuesday. All work is COM
pleted except final revision. The new
constitution will be different in many
respects from the old. The most i'm
portant changes are in the suffrage ar
ticle. There are 10000 male adult
negroes in the state and 100000 whites,
all entitled to vote under the old con-
stitution. The new constitution pro-
poses changes which it is expected will
give the whites majority. 1t provides
for alternative educational or property
qualifcat ion. Any man who can read
or write or who pays taxes on $500
worth of property will be entitled to
vote.
Had the convention stopped there the
illiterate whites would have been dis
franchised. This they provided against
in clause which says any one who can
not vote under either the property or the
educational qualification shall be given
the right to vote if he can understand
section of the constitution when read
to him by a registration officer. This
clause is only operative two years. ALI

A group Of yeranda cushions, which
are very affective, are Of white un-
bleached muslin, each one having a
windmill sketch painted in Prussian
blue oil colors, after design on the
delft plate. The paint should be used
very sparingly to obtain the right

covered with apple green and pale sky

Economy in Fuel.


Prof. Carpenter, writer and author
ity on the economy Of fuel in present
engineering methods, states that a
study Of the tests Of boilers which have
been made in this line shows, definitely,
that larger percentage Of the value
of the coal can be utilized when using
anthracite and that bituminous coal
and even oil can only be burned with
large wastes of heat. Many who have
intimately studied the subject are Of
the opinion that large portion Of the
hydro-carbon gas contained in bitumin-
Gus coal is given off when the coal Is
first fired and is carried away uncon-
sumed with large volumes Of fresh air
before the furnace doors are closed
Whether or not there is absolute proof
Of this being so, Prof. Carpenter thinks
there is little doubt that, to successfully
fire bituminous Goals they should first
be gradually heated in the presence of
a small amount Of air, which will drive
off the gas, and the gas liberated should
then be passed over body Of mean
descent Goals in the presence of sufti-
cient air to produce combustion. Men
ton is made of the scheme, favored by
some, Of drawing the gas downward
through a body Of incandescent coal,
but no automatic device will replace
an intelligent fireman, though 1t is adj
mitted that no slight difference exists

She had played very bold game, and
though lust now it promised to be sue
cessful. the slightest contretemps might
render futile all her scheming, and mat

never interfered to mend them. AS she
had stood that Sunday afternoon with
her letter in her hand, sudden tempta-

she had not been able to resist. It seemed
such a simple thing to cut off the one
short sentence at the bottom of the page;
and to tear the letter in half was an
after-thought which seemed to give en-
nhosis to the implied meaning of the re-

would have eventually resigned herself

PANIC IS ENDED.
British Surprised That Americans
. Have Views of Their Own,

Have Views of Their Own.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-The financial ar
ticle in the Times tomorrow will say:
Although the panic has subsided it will
take a long time to repair the injury
done. In the first place many investors
have become impressed with the idea
which is new to them that the atti-
tude of many educated persons in
America regarding foreign affairs is
wanting in breadth and depth of view.
European statesmen and financiers
have always allowed for this deficien-
cy, but in this event they were sur
prised by the current of events. Prob
ably President Cleveland was deluded
with the idea that whatever the re-
suit Of the message he could easily bor-
row on the continent.
Such delusion would not have mis-
led a statesman trained with foreign
affairs. There is no doubt that Amer
lea can obtain a loan in Europe at a
price at a ratio with the discretion
shown by American statesmen in deal
ing with the present difficulty They will
largely rely upon American resources
until American confidence is restored
in Europe.
The Times editorial will say: 'Pres-
ldent Cleveland's manifest incapacity
to understand the effect his warlike
message would have has shattered the
confidence felt in him as the pillar of
sound finance and the mainstay of
public credit. English capital will re-
main where there is a reasonable prom
ise of security and nowhere else. The
capitalists throughout the world are
actuated by the same motives 1t
would be strange, though not an un-
natural result of President Cleveland's S
action were he compelled to assent to
an increase in the tariff and to agree
to the demands of the silver ring"
