From the Pittsburg Dispatch
London, Sept. 2S.-The example of the
Duke of York. the future King of Eng
land, who has had some elaborate de-
signs tattooed on his arm, has set the
English aristocracy wild, and tattooing
has become the rage. On the other hand
there are many people who have sub
mitted themselves to this needle-and-ink
decoration, who have outlived their pride
in it, and who feel rather ashamed than
otherwise of what they formerly looked
upon as distinction

On "a sure-Enough silver Basis.
From the Philadelphia Record.


Something quite remarkable came into
the redemption division of the treasury at
Washington a short time ago. 1t was a
thin plate of silver about two feet long,
into the surface of which $40 silver GER
tiicate had been pressed in such a man
ner as to incorporate its substance actual
ly with that of the metal. 1t was a brand
new bill, and in the process had been
squeezed out to about twice its original
size. Nevertheless, it was perfectly rec
ognizable.
A statement accompanied it to the ef-
feet that a workman in silverware fac
tory had dropped the bill accidentally
upon the plate of silver as the latter was
passing through a. rolling machine. This
explanation being satisfactory, a fresh $40
certificate was returned to the loser.

SAN ANDREAS M0URNS,
Ex-Lieutenant-GOVernOr John
B. ReddiCk'S Work Is
Done.
Before the Final Summons
Came.

SAN ANDREAS, CAL, Sept lex
Lieutenant-G Governor Reddick died this
morning at 11:10. His end came peace
fully, and he passed away without the
slightest struggle. Since yesterday noon
he had been unconscious. When the end
came there were gathered about his bed
side his wife and family, his mother,
mother-in-law and a few intimate friends.
When the news of Mr.. Reddiclls death
was made known it was received with sor-
row, Notwithstanding it had been expected
for the past two days. Flags were placed
at half-mast over public buildings and the
fire hall was draped in mourning.
The funeral will be held Wednesday
afternoon, and the body will be inferred in
the cemetery here, where the father of the
deceased lies. The Masons will have
charge of the burial. Ex-Governor Mark
ham, Secretary OF State Brown, State Con.
troller Colgan, Congressman Grove L.
Johnson, Judge John T. Davis and other
notable persons will be present.

intense agony. He was joined by Hall,
whose symptoms were the same. They
had no medicine in camp, and both were
too weak to walk to the nearest ranch
house.
After suffering for nearly a half hour
they both decided to make an effort to
crawl to the nearest neighbor, Mr.. Moses,
whose house was over 300 yards away.
They succeeded in waking Mr.. Moses, who
gave them both an emetic and worked
hard over them for an hour before they
were out of danger.
1t appears that the rabbit they ate for
supper had partaken of some poisoned
watermelon put out by some farmer to kill
squirrels.
Both young men are now out of danger.

SPOKANE'S RIVAL POLICE,
Two Forces PatrolIing the City
and Threatening Each
Other.
Trouble Caused by Conflict of
Authority Over the Nam
ing of Chief.

SPOKANE, WASH, Sept. 16.-A serious
clash is on between two rival police forces.
one headed by Mayor Belt and the other
by the City Commissioners. Two COM
pletely organized forces are now patrolling
the city. Mayor Belts force has pos
session of the office, keys, Jail and a ma
jority of the patrolmen and is now con-
templating the arrest of Captain CoverIy
and all the men serving under his orders
The trouble arose over conflict of au-
thority as to who has the appointing of the
Chief of Police. Chief of Police Peter
Mertz was recently removed from Office by
the City Council. He vacated at midnight
last night, and the City Commissioners
appointed Captain James Coverly to the
position. At midnight Mayor Belt posted
a proclamation at police headquarters CIV
ing notice that he had assumed control of
the Police Department and put Officer
William McKernan in as Chief
The commissioners appeared shortly
afterward, and a serious conflict was mar
rowly avoided. The patrolmen divided,
and the two opposing forces are now pa
trolling the city. Mayor Belt says he will
arrest Coverly and all the men working
under his orders tomorrow. If the at
empt is made serious trouble is looked
for.
The commissioners will ask the City
Council to impeach the Mayor at its meet
ing tomorrow.

armpits and pull him out. Reynolds did
not want them to do it. They did so under
his protest.
Twice the rope broke. Then there was
another cave-in and Reynolds was buried
to his armpits.
At this instant the water from the old
sewer broke through in gushing torrent.
The Mortified workmen knew then that
Reynolds was certain to be drowned. The
unfortunate man also realized his fate and
cried and implored for aid. Nothing could
be done. Inch by inch the water, the
stencil of which was most sickening. crept
upon him. Finally it reached his mouth,
then in two minutes the body disappeared
from sight.
The Fire Department was called and
engine 3 started to pump the water out.
The body was recovered at 80 P. NJ.
Reynolds was SO years old. He had wife

Insanity His Pea.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept 16. -The pre-
liminary examination of w. ]. Busby, the
negro polsoner, was commenced this after
noon before Police Judge Morrison. Busby
gave no indication of insanity. The de-
Tense will claim that Busby is mentally de-
ranged, and that he is not guilty of MUIR
der. The last claim is based on the theory
that Thompson and Martin drank wine
not their property, and that Busby, if
guilty at all, can under the law be held for
manslaughter only.
When the case was called the prosecu-
ton requested a continuance Wednesday
at $3.50 A. NJ. was fixed as the time to con-
tinue the preliminary examination.

CLAIM UNDUE INFLUENCE,
Preliminary Step in Legal
Fight Over a MilpitaS
Estate.
An Heir of Mrs. Smith Seeks to
Recover Property Decided to
Rev. Father Bowling.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 16.-As a pre-
liminary step to what promises to be suit
of very considerable importance and I'M
usual interest, papers were to-day filed by
John G. Jury for Messrs. Delmas & Short
rioge and John E. Richards, attorneys for
petitioner, wherein it is asked that letters
of administration of the estate of Hannah
Smith, deceased, issue to Public Admins
traitor J. X. Secord.
Mrs. Smith died in January, 1894, aged
Sc years, near the town of Milpltas, and it
was thought that at the time of her death
she left an estate of great value. 1t seems
that in 1884, Thomas l.. Smith, the husband
of Mrs. Smith, now deceased, conveyed to
her by deed of gift tract of land consist
ing of some 470 acres between Milpitas and
Alviso, and four lots in the Lathrop
addition to the city of San Jose.
This property was in 1889 conveyed by
Mrs. Smith in q deed absolute to Rev. P.
]. Bowling, the pastor at that time of ST.
Patricll's church in this City. Father
Bowling died shortly after the death of
Mrs. Smith, and his estate was conveyed
by a Photographic will to Archbishop Rior-
dan of San Francisco. This will is now on
file in the Clerks office, but it seems no
action has ever been taken thereon.
AS soon as letters testamentary issue to
Administrator Secord 1t is said suits will
be instituted to set aside the conveyances
from Mrs Smith to Rev. Father Downing,
on the ground that the conveyances were
without consideration and under undue
influences.
The only heir-at-law OF Mrs. Smith, as
set forth in the petition, is a Mrs. Helen
Ferrill, who is a resident of this county.
The value OF the interest of decedent in the
property is given as unknown yet it is be-
lieved that the property involved is worth
at least $50 600

The new sewer parallels the old brick

years. Reynolds was working on branch
which was designed to drain off the old
sewer so that the new one could Cross it.
The old sewer broke and the water that
escaped loosened the earth. There was a

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 16.-Two

they had shot in watermelon patch.
After having partaken of their supper, they
retired.
