CONSIDERING the amount of howl
ing some fellows are doing, we are
inclined to think that there must
be some mistake about who won
the victory last fall.

During the week the Great
Northern surveying party that has
been making surveys about here of
late went to Kaslo to take up work
on the Kaslo & SLOGAN railway.
This is pretty good evidence that

DUE TO CARELEssNEss.
Verdict of the Coroner's Jury on the
Killing of Miners Spellman and
O'MaIiey.

A verdict of "carelessness in not notify
ing the deceased of their danger and
ordering them out of the tunnel was
rendered by the jury at the Coroner's in
quest yesterday, at which was investigated
the killing of the miners, James Spellman
and Charles O'Malley, at Contractor John
W. Ferris quarry, corner of Stanyan street
and Rivoli avenue November so.
The men were suffoCated by the fumes
of powder, which had been communicated
through the crevices of the rock from a
blast to drift" near by, in which they
were al work.
Contractor Ferris was present, but did
not testify. Daniel Donovan and John
Link, the two men who were also in the
drift, but were resuscitated, stated that
they did not hear any orders to get out nor
any warning.
- From the evidence of Uriah Halkyard,
George Kent, I. Campbell, George Elliott
and Charles Goodall, fellow workmen, the
jury were of the opinion that Contractor
Ferris, Superintendent Davidson and Blast
Foreman Howes were responsible to some
extent for the mems deaths. They said
orders to get out Of the way were gwen
just previous to the blast, but they heard
no orders to the men to get out of the
tunnel. When the blast went off it was
discovered that the men were still in the
drift

Women preachers, as well as women
lawyers, women voters, women bcyclists
and women in business are making it more
and more apparent that "the gentler sex
is not necessarily 1.-THE weaker SEX"
morally, mentally or physically.
Rev. Mrs. Lydia Goldman is an example
OF the womanly woman whose influence
for good in the community is on par with
that of the manly man.
She is not one of that silly class of per-
sons who. broken down in health by men
tai or bodily strain, not quite SICK enough
to be abed, put off thinking seriously of
getting well.
Improperly nourished nerves and poor
blood soon pile up desperate number Of
disorders.
On the other hand, when reduced health
and spirits are early recognized and cour-
ageously taken in hand at once, when
Paine's celery pound is used to restore
the integrity of the nerves and blood, no
further trouble is to be feared.
Paine's celery compound at once cor
reefs any unhealthy condition of the nerve
system. 1t forwards the richest possible
elements of growth to every nerve cell and
the remotest nerve thread throughout the
body.
Paine's celery compound positively and
permanently cures every form of nervous
debility and exhaustion - melancholia,
hysteria, headaches, dyspepsia neuralgia
and disordered heart and liver

A Useless Attempt Made to Deny

and Schemes of the "Borax
King
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL
Qn0 broadway Doc q

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
908 Broadway, Dec. 6.
An attempt has been made to deny that
F. NJ. Smith, the borax manipulation of
East Oakland, is the owner of the Califor-
mia and Nevada Railroad. Mr.. Emery is
quoted as saving that he told no such story
to reporter, and this is true, so far as Mr..
Emery goes, for he was not aware at the
time that he was talking in the presence of
a newspaper man. But Mr.. Emery said
every word attributed to HIM and a great
deal more about F. NJ. Smiths London
be we'll posted in the affairs of the man to
whom he sold the narrow-gauge road.
1t is a well-kncwn fact that every effort
was made to keep the sale of the road a
secret. and Mr. Emery would not probably
have talked for publication, but he told of
the deal on ferry steamer, and when once
out il is the duty of newspaper to pub
lsh it, as thousands of people are interested
in the many deals recently made in En-
ervyille and the development of the
schemes of F. NJ. Smith, as told IN the in
terview with that gentleman in to-day's
CALL.
Another proof that F. NJ. Smith is the
owner of the road was made known to-
day. Councilman Towle of the firm of
Towle & Broadwell repaired several of the
cars of the California and Nevada Railroad
some time ago and presented his hill to
Mr. Emery. This gentleman y KID the
bill, and Mr. Towle had to take it to +. NJ.
Smith for payment. The Borax King re-
marked as he handed over the check,
CHATS paying up old horse"
"a man who is not owner of road is
not likely to pay for its repairs" said Mr..
Towle to-day.
1t has been ascertained that the bonds
are held by the son of James Smith, the
builder of the road, who died few weeks
ago. Interest on them has not been paid
for several years, and there is no doubt
that before he bought the stock f. NJ.
Smith made an arrangement regarding

sentation to the Town Board, asking that
Frank Munday's application for saloon
license be denied. Munday desires to To-
cate his place of business on Delaware

that saloon in that locality would be a

is on the route taken by many ladies and
children to the local trains.

her resignation. No decision has vet been
reached as to whom the church will call to
succeed her.

studied testimonials from men and women
living in widely separated States is one of
the best evidences of how Paine's celery
compound is regarded all over the country.
Woman's peculiar life brings a languor
and listlessness that are best met by
Palne's celery compound. The dispirited
condition, the backaches, the neuralgia
headaches, the sleeplessness and nervous
debility that SO frequently. attack women
when their blood is robbed of It's vitality,
is soon dispelled when Paine's celery
compound is used.
Mrs. Goldman, writing October 80 from
her home, 157 Scott street, Wilkesbarre,
Penn, says:
Fully approaching the benefits from
the use OF Paine's celery compound [
recommend it to others. Suffering from
sleeplessness and nervous debility l was
persuaded to use this truly greatest of
remedies. Although l can have every
medicine from my brothers, the druggists
here, gave Paine's celery compound
trial and must confess only to my benefit.
My only boy, four years old, was also
treated with it and his nervousness has
disappeared. My father, Rev. C. Kuehn,
with whom [ live, thinks great deal of
Paine's celery compound. l shall always
Keep it i'll the house"
There are untold numbers of women who
are working and worrying enough to drive
them into their graves if Paine's celery
compound were net always in their homes
to strengthen and restore their brains and
nerves when there was great need of it.

AN ECHO OF THE STRIKE.
Councilman "Billy' Watkinson Waited
Eighteen Months for Reinstate-
meDt,

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN Francisco CALI
90S Broadway, Dec. 6.
1t Is now plain that the Southern Pacific
Company has no further use for Council
man Billy" Watkinson. When the "Solid
Nine" Council was in power and up to the
time of the strike Councilman Watkinson
was yardmaster at West Oakland and was
power in politics in the Sixth Ward.
When the strike was ordered and every
thing looked roseate for the success of the
A. r. T., WatkiDson went out with the
rest. 1t was a fatal move. Since that day
he has not done an hours work for the
company, and being in a hopeless mi
noiity in the Nom Partisan Council, Wat
kinson has been persona non grata on all
hands.
After waiting for nearly eighteen months
in the hope that he would be reinstated in
the railroad service he has now given up
all hope. and yesterday he assumed pro-
prietorship Of cigar-stand near the City
Hall. 1t is rather big relapse for the
Jolly Councilman, but he takes it with his
usual good-nature and has never vet been
heard to say bitter word against the
railroad company, although everybody
knows who knows anything about Oak

his employers while the ring was In power
entities him to more considerate treatment
at the hands of the monopoly.
When the late A. n. Towne appeared
before the Council about three years ago
and made plea that the railroad be not
further hampered by legislation in this
city Councilman Watkinson ably seconded
his chief, but. with to 3, the fealty of
Watkinson would not produce the de-
sired result. Scores of his old friends have
sought in vain to have him reinstated,
but his adherence to the union men dur
ing the strike has not been condoned, and
Billy and the railroad are apparently sep
arated forever.
The Councilman's treatment of the rail-
road did not DESTROY his political infiu-
ence, and last March he was reelected to
the Council But his old masters are not
"in'' at the CITY Hall now ana, having no
more use for Watkinson, either as yard
master or as a Councilman, the member at
large from the Sixth has leased the cigar
stand.

EACH TALKS OF ENM|TY
Judge Wood and Attorney Walsh
Have a Quarrel in
Court.
AN APOLOGY IS ORDERED.
The Attorney Says He Will Totally
Disregard the Pleasure of
the Court.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI,l

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,l
908 Broadway, Dec. g.
Phil NJ. Walsh, an attorney, who is also
secretary of the County Central Repub-
lican Committee, is under orders from
Police Judge Wood to apologize before 1o
O'clock tomorrow, cor suffer the conse-
quenees." Attorney Walsh says he will
not apologize, and has no fear OF the ICON
sequences.
The trouble arose over the trial OF
Barchi Perata, who was defended by
Walsh, yesterday, when the jury disagreed.
To-day the date of the second trial was to
be set. Attorney Walsh asked for time to
make 3 motion for change OF venue. The
court denied this, and peremptorily set the
case for December 10.
IF criminals could obtain change OF
venue" remarked Judge Wood, "they
would all ask for it on the ground Of
prejudice.
Yes. we are always prejudiced against
chrome criminals" said Mr.. Melvin.
and this court particularly" said Mr..
Walsh.
This remark angered Judge Wood, and
he said the language used by the attorney
yesterday as we'll as to-day was in con-
tempt OF court. 81 did not speak of it
yesterday" said Judge Wood, "because of
your known enmity toward me-"
"Your Honor's enmity toward me is also
quite well known" replied Mr.. Walsh.
Judge Wood replied: 'If you have no
respect for me, you ought at least to re-
spect the court. | will give you until to-
morrow morning to apologize for your
conduct, and unless you do so you will
have TO stand the consequences of con-
tempt"
Attorney Chapman, who will appear for
Walsh, said tonight: Judge Wood S
ground is not tenabie. The law says that
Judge can accept an apology after he has
declared a man to be in contempt of court,
but Mr.. Walsh has not been cited for con-
tempt of court, and there is no provision
of law whereby a Judge can demand an
apology. Mr.. Walsh will not apologize
and he will not go near the court to-mor-
row. If any transaction arises IN which
Mr.. Walsh is interested | shall answer as
his attorney. | have just had the record
examined and there is nothing whatever
to show that Mr.. Walsh had any difficulty
with the court.
Mr.. Walsh says he does not intend to
apologize and that his language was justi-
ned, as the court was very hard on his
witnesses. He admits that in his argu-
ment to the Jury be commented quite
strongly on the officers of the court.
The trouble between Wood and Walsh
dates from the time when Walsh was not
reappointed stenographer of the Police

married.

Miss Emery said this afternoon that her
brother had been absent for three weeks
and that he knew Miss Bowen we'll, as

WEMPE'S TAG ACCOUNT.
He Swore He Had Paid in Full and So
Was Awarded "a Favorable
Decision.

The case of J. Mourn against William
Wempe was before Judge Hunt on an ap-
peal from Justice Court decision, but the
appeal avaiis nothing. for the ruling of the
Justice of the Peace in favor of the defend
ant, Wempe, was upheld.
Wempe had been in the habit of sending
to Mourns restaurant and ordering oyster
cocktails by the pitcher, chickens, beer
and other delicacies and signing tags for
the same. He was frequently dunned for
money and on these occasions he would
pay something and then cancel lot of
tags. His last payment was one of $40,
and he testified that he was told that
squared his account.
When presented with a bill for $33 IS,
soon after, he refused to pay it and hence
the suit.
The plaintiff and his witnesses would
not testify positively that Wempe had not
been told his last payment was in full Of
all demands, but Wempe was quite willing
to do SO, and when he got the chance he
did. In view of his uncontradicted testi-
mony judgment was rendered in his favor.

metallic substance, which proved to
be an IRON pot tight sealed. With
eager haste be broke the top, and to
his delight gold coin came rolling out.
Upon counting the coins they
amounted to s40o. The POT had been
incased in the log apparently for a
great number Of years, and il is
thought to have been hidden in the
tree during the war. Where the tres
came from will probably never be
