HELD TO ANSWER.

Witnesses Testify Against Mrs. Schuller
in the Preliminary Examination.
Tae preliminary examination of Mrs.
Eugenia Schuller on the charge of arson
was concluded before Judge Low yester-
day morning, and she was held to answer
before the Superior Court in $4,000 bonds.
The house set on fire is situated on the
southeast corner of Lyon and Oak streets.
The flames were fortunately extinguished
before much damage was done, and the
work of the incendiary was manifest.
Eight witnesses were examined for the
prosecution, and their testimony was very
strong against the defendant. 1t was, in
effect what was published at the time of
the fire.
Attorney Ferral, for the defendant,
made motion to dismiss, but it was re-
fused. He then said he ad no evidence
to offer, and the Judge held the de-
tendant

In rendering it's decision the court de-
clares that the amount had been properly
fixed, albeitit was trifle high, and it sees
no reason to reverse the order allowing it.,
particularly as Mrs. Hinckley, the one
principally interested, had already agreed
to pay it. Tackled on to this opinion, how
ever, is one by Judge Temple. Judge
Temple coneurred only because Mrs.
Hinckley had agreed to the figure herself,
but he declared that the amount was much
more than should have been allowed.
These fees, he says, should be fixed by q
court precisely as if the court itself had to
pay them. and if this were done he thinks
such fees would be of more rare occurrence.

CARING FOR THE TOTS.
The Management OF the Children's
Hospital in Urgent Need of
Funds.

The management of the Children's
Hospital is having much difficulty in
meeting the current expenses of the insti-
tuition and unless the charitable public
comes at once to the rescue there is a
danger that the little ones will be un-
provided for.
There is a rule that no sick child shall
be turned away and there are sixty little
invalids to be cared for now. They require
the attention of about thirty nurses and
attendants.
Mrs. w. P. Dutton OF the board Of
managers reports that 800 sheets have 10
be laundried every month. While
physicians of the City have been very
generous to the institution medicines are
expensive.
The ladies of the board of managers will
be at the hospital all day December 20, 81
and % to receive donations. Provisions
will be gladly received, but money is
needed badly.

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 3.-The anti

night was a very enthusiastic one, and
judging from it as an indicator, the PEG.

The first school report since vacation

J. U. Henry of this place killed yestef-
day the mate OF the American condor he
killed last April in the mountains north
of this place about twenty miles. This
gives him a pair OF the birds, each meas
uring ten feet, anu it is said that he is
the only man on the coast who has a
pair. He KILLED the bird with a Win.
chester thousand yards from where she
was sitting on her nest, the ball piercing
her heart. 1t took an hours Journey
and faithful dog to find the bird after
he bad killed her.
From the fact of her sitting on nest,
he has come to the conclusion that the
bird was sitting on an egg or two, and
a search has been instituted to ascertain
4l,a nlaNa
of the nest is an almost Inaccessible
crevite in the mountains, and the search
ing party will have to be lowered at least
800 feet by ropes to the spot, but they
think the risk worth taking. for the
value of condor's egg IS $500.

Cou,ptaints From Los Angeles

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-The board
of railroad commissioners today listened
to the reading of several complaints
against excessive freight rates and pas
senger fares. One matter which was
given considerable attention was the
com plant of E. +. Edwar is of Los An
geles, who prays for an immediate read
justment of the local passenger rates now
in vogue on the Atlantic and Pacific west
of The Needles. In recent mmunica-
ton to the board Mr.. Edwards called at
tention to the fact that the local rates sp-
plying bewt teen Molave and The Needles
are greatly IN excess of the rates charged
by the Southern Pacific over the Yuma
desert, where the conditions and Circun-
STANCES are alleged to be similar.
X. H. Wade, general manager OF the
Southern California railway. to whom
was referred the first com munication OF
Mr.. Edwards, replied to the letter by as
'erting that the Atlantic and Pacific was
constructed and is now beng operated un-
der the direction OF the nationsl gov
ernme nt; that it reports 10 the secretary
of the interior, and is therefore not
within the jurisdiction of the railroad
COMM ssi oners. II g further stated that
the reports made to the commission were
made merely as an act of courtesy. and
US lCT inc TdttS ueoluIcu tiltb tilo
road had the right to charge 10 cents a
mile Instead OF cents if it 50 desired.
Commissioner Stanton, in commenting
on the matter, denied that the Atlantic
and Pacific had the right to charge 10
cents a mile tor passenger fares across
the Mojave desert. He thought that Mr..
Wades assertion that the road has the
right. with the approval of your honor.
able body, of charging 10 cents per mile.
was worded in manner that was calcu-
lated to deceive. The road would have
the right, with the approval of the COM
mission, to charge 10 cents mile. but
it has not yet obtained the approval oil
the commission.
This brought up the more important
matter of The committees jurisdiction
over the Atlantic and Pacific. and it was
decided to OBJ ain the opinion of the at
torney general on that point before pro-
ceeding with the regulation of charges.

M'GLAUFLIN'S MAN RETURNS
But, like Rienzi, h. Comes MOI Back
TO Talh
His Connection With the Fair Wheat
Deal is a Good Thing 70 Keep
Still AbSu.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 3.-Charles
Smith, the detaulting bookkeeper of the
firm OF L. WMcGlaufin & Co., has re-
turned to this city, but he has not come
to explain his conduct while he was an
employee of the wheat spectators. He
has nothing to say in vindicatlon OF him
self He has no excuse to offer for the
m tilaton OF the records which were in
his possession. He has nothing to say
about his sensational Eight from the city
nor his connection with an affair VIII CHI
reflected credit upon nobody. Under the
protecting wing OF his brotber-in-law,S S.
B. Carleton, he refuses absolutely to be
seen. He appears to consider that silence
is a sufficient refuge after the occurrence
of events which spoke very loudly for
themselves. When S. B. Carleton was
asked tonight to say something in vindi-
cation of the good name of his young
brother-in- law, he emphatically refused,
although Smith was in calling distance of
him at the time.
Young Smith was bookkeeper for l..
". MEG laufin e. Co., the big grain brok-
erage firm which engineered the Fair
wheat deal. Several months ago he dis
| appeared There were signs of strug-
gle in the office and the books were mutt
lated. 1t was thought he had met with
foul play at first, but investigation
| showed that he had fed. The exact
amount of his shortage has never been
made public. and MoGlanhin g. Co. have
said they did not intend to prosecute
HIM. One of the partners in McGlaufiin
& Co. was Eugene Bresse, brother OF one
of the executors of the Fair estate. Bresso
has also disappeared and McGlautiin
makes some ugly charges against him.

Cuba which predicts a famine Il the war
continues.
/ The troops in the interior OF the Island
are suffering unheard of hardships. They
are famished, cothesless. shoeless and
without medical attendance. The very
officers confess the total Generalization
of the army and pronounce the difficulty
insurmountable.
The departments of Santiago. Puerto

is to say, nearly all the island-are being
devastated. Everywhere small parties OF
rebels patrol the country with perfect I'M

In she port of Havana there is Il stock
of sugar of 800. 600 tons without buyers.
The sugar estates have no money to pay
their working men. who are driven to
starvation to join the rebels, and no lie
is safe in the country. The only money
IN circulation is the So, noe, 900 monthly
pay of the army, of which some is re-
united to officers families in Spain. The
sugar planters are ruined com pletely.
They at least thus far have constituted an
element of production.

ties OF the Manoa company, limited, and
the Orinoco company. It is the intel ton
OF the new company to continue the &C.
tive business operations which have been
carried on for several days by the Manoa
company which was incorporated under
the laws OF the state of New York.
