to Unrayel : Murder 11ystery.
Chicago had a chief Of detectives Is.
CT is years ago who compared in many
respects with the best European talent
He did some work which for neatness
and adroit application was equal to
anything that Gaboriau invented. I
have in mind now a murder case in
which he figured. Some unknown per-
son had shot a farmer living few miles
out Of Chicago through the heart. The
murder happened in the dead Of night
and the victim was decoyed out Of the
house to meet his death.
A dull witted farmland had been
discharged by the dead man, and was
then working in Chicago. This fellow
was promptly placed under arrest. A
pawn ticket for a revolver was found in
his pocket. It was a cheap weapon, and
very little significance was attached to
the fact that the man should have own
ed it and pawned it at that particular
time He gave reasonable account Of
his movements on the night Of the
crime, and the murdered mans wife
was firm in her protestations that she
had not seen him for weeks.
During the inquest, however, the de-
tectives observed that the bullet which
came out of the dead mans heart was
marked in peculiar way. It had
scratches on one side, as though there
were defects in the pistol from which it
was fred Examination of the revolver
found in the pawnshop showed two
spots Of rust in the chamber near the
muzzle. The detectives fired the weapon
three times into barrel of water, and
the balls were marked exactly like the
bullet that killed the farmer. A num-
Der Of other pistols Of the same make
and caliber were obtained and subject
ed to the same test, but none Of the 9TH
er bullets was marked in the same
manner as those from the farmhand's
, pistol It appeared, therefore, that the
latter weapon had been used in killing
the man, but, while the detective skill
that discovered this damaging fact was
loudly extolled, shrewd lawyers got
hold Of the case for the defense and Sue
ceeded in getting the man acquitted

Fleshmaking Food.

Cream cruel, according to an eminent
English authority, is the ideal nourish-
ment for thin folk. A teacupful taken
at night Immediately before retiring is
said to give marvellous results. To be at
its best it must be perfectly made, then
Trimmed with sweet cream. Taken in
that condition and warm it is agreeable
as well as fattening, and produces just
that sense Of satisfied hunger essential
to ideal rest. Tt is claimed that perse-
verance in the treatment yields such APP
parent results that the cheeks can be
seen to expand from day to day.

IN the year 1868, Mr.. ]. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of Dr.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with ali his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paving business, and made the name 'Dr. Wards"
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toling and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
justice as to undertake to despol him OF his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. IN
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus US
Gust as good as Or. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his bust
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
No. 1885.

TREASON FOR DRINK.
How a French1aan and q German For
swore Their Native Land.

swore Their Native Land.
William Berg, the great German
traveller, is an enthusiastic admirer Of
Emperor William, whom he closely re-
sembles, says the San Francisco News
Letter: Mr.. Berg, nevertheless, is on
terms of intimacy with Mr.: John Ber-
gez, who was born within a stones
throw Of the Column Vendome. One
day both these gentlemen were fishing
in the lagoon in Marin county: Mr.. Ber-
gez had toiled long and successfully and
was sorely athirst He had forgotten
his flask, a lapse Of memory Of which
the Gallo angler is rarely guilty.
*'Berg, give me a drink" shouted
Mr. Berger across the lake. Mr. Berg
obligingly strolled round the lake, and
approached Mr.. Berger, flask in hand.
''Thanks, said the Frenchman.
"Hold,' said the German traveller,
retaining the flask in his muscular grasp
Zone moment, please. Which is the
greatest country in Europe?"
Mr.. Berg looked appealingly at the
stern Teuton. He saw there was no re-
lenting. He must forswear la belle
France Or go dry.
Germany, he gasped-
''Drink to the emperor enjoined
Mr.. Berg solemnly, and the toast was
pledged.
A few nights after Mr.. Berg was din
ing with Mr.. Berger. The latter was
caressing dust covered bottle Of superb
burgundy. The traveller gazed at it af-
fectionately, and extended his glass with
a CLEAN Of anticipation in his eyes.
Zone moment, please said Mr..
Berger coldly. (Which is the greatest
country in Europe, Mr.. Berg?''
There was a moments painful pause,
during which the Gaul passed the bottle
under the travellers nose.
France, muttered Mr.. Berg, unable
to resist the bouquet Of the vintage.
And so the tricolor was avenged.
Train Noises.
A method of preventing the noise
made by trains when passing over iron
bridges has been devised by a German
engineer named Boedecker, locality not
stated. He puts decking of III inch
planks between the cross girders, resting
on three inch timbers laid on the bottom
hanges, while on the planks double
layer of felt is placed, fixed to the YER
teal web Of the cross girder. At the
connections with the girder timber
cover joint is put on felt, and two hook
ed bolts connect the whole firmly to the
bottom dange. -Four inches of Stag gravel
cover the decking, which is inclined to-
ward the center Of the bridge for drain
age purposes, and layer Of felt is laid
between the planks and the timbers upon
which they rest, and the ironwork in
contact with decking and ballast is as
phalted. The decking weighs 900 pounds
per yard for bridge II feet wide and
costs % cents square foot.

THE SALVATION ARMY.

London, February 23.-It is an
nounced that Booth Tucker and wife
will succeed Mr.. and Mrs. BaIlington
Booth in command Of the Salvation
Army in the United States.
BIamwell Booth. on February 18th.
mailed a long letter to Mr. Chauncey
NJ. Depew in reply to one of Mr.. Depew.
as chairman of Americas meeting in
New York, to protest against the re-
moyal of the Ballington Booths. ex-
planning the changes of the Salvation
Army in the United States.
Bramwell Booths letter to Chauncev
NJ. Depew was written after tele-
graphic consultation with General
Booth in India, and gives as the rea-
son for the action toward Darlington
Booth that it was in accord with the
usual routine Of changes, without which
Darlington Booth could never have
been appointed to America.
The Daily News and the Chronicle
have long New York dispatches deal
ing with the matter. The Daily News
also says in an editorial:
America may yet have a Salvation
army Fourth of July"
The Chronicle editorial expresses a
similar opinion. and thinks that Ball
ington Booth was in the wrong. "The
strength of the army" says the Chron-
icle. lies in its military basis of disci-
binary obedience.

FATALLY BURNED.
A Three Year-Old Boy Met With a
Shocking Death Yesterday.
A Son Of Chas. Chambers-His
Clothing Caught Fire from a Crate
and His Flesh Was Literally
Cooked-The Child fingered in
Agony for Several Hours and Died
Last Night.

A three-year-old son of Charles
Chambers was fatally burned about
four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
died after suffering for five hours.
Mr.. Chambers is a compositor in the
Intelligencer Office, and was married
four years ago during the State Fair on
the Island. He has been living at No.
"a Thirteenth street. For several days
the bright little son who met death in
such a tragic form yesterday, was ILL.,,
but did not have the services OF a ply
stefan. The little fellows stomach was
covered with cotton. which burned
when his clothing took fire, and liter
ally cooked the flesh underneath.
About four o'clock, while Mrs. Cham
bers was engaged in her household du-
ties in d part OF the residence remote
from the room in which the little boy
was lying in bsd, he got up, and walked
over to the fireplace. There was a
blazing fire, which ignited the boy s
clothing, and almost in an instant he
was enveloped by flames.
Mrs. Chambers heard her sons plain
tive cries of Mamma, mamma" and
rushed into the room to his assistance.
She succeeded in extinguishing the
burning clothing, and pulling it from
his body, but the little fellow fell to
the floor moaning with pain, his flesh
burned to a crisp from head to foot.
DR.. Belleville was called, and later
DR.. Pipes. They did all that was posi-
BILE to alleviate the sunerings OF the I'M
fortunate boy, but entertained no hopes
for his recovery. He was in an uncon-
scious condition all evening. and never
rallied from the first shock. About
nine o'clock he died.
The bereaved parents have the SYM
pathy of a host of friends in the pecu-
liarly sad and sudden bereavement.

vISAL|A ASSASSIA'S FATE,
John E. Howard Sentenced to Die
for Numbering Martini
de la Nina.
The Victim Slain Because He Would
Not Pay for Liquor Bought
by Howard.

VISALIA, CAL. May 4-John e. How
ard was to-day sentenced by Judge Gray of
the Superior Court to be hanged at Folsom
on July IL between the hours of 9 and 2
o'clock. Howard was convicted on August
IL, 1894, OF the murder of Martini de la
Nina, an italian laborer, in Tulare on the
evening of June 16 of the same year.
Howard claimed to be in the employ of
the City Marshal of Tulare, and was in the
habit of sleeping in a house run by two
negresses. On the day of the murder
Howard went across to the Hotel Europa
and got some wine, Nina vouching for the
pay. Howard took the wine to the ne
crosses, and after drinking it with them
went back for more. He wanted Nina to
stand good for the payment of this second
installment, and upon the latter's refusal
shot him, killing him instantly.
AT the trial perjured testimony was in
troduced in the interest of Howard, and
later John Sayers was convicted of per-
jury and sentenced to serve eight years In
the penitentiary. Another witness was
believed to have committed perjury, but
the evidence was considered insufficient
to convict him on that charge. He was
subsequently convicted of illegal registra-
ton. Howard appealed from the iudg-
ment entered in the lower court, but the
Supreme Court affirmed the Judgment.
Howard was taken to Folsom tonight.

SANTA ROSA ENJO|NED.
Cannot Accept the Water Works
System Now in Successful
Operation.
Judge Daingerfield's Decision Causes
CONSERVATION Among the
Consumers.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 4.-The long
looked-for opinion of Judge Daingerfield
in the famous case of Mock VS.. The City OF
Santa Rosa was filled to-day. The decision
of the court is adverse to the city. 1t
grants the plaintiffs petition for an inter-
locutory injunction restraining the city
from accepting the new water works. The
motion to strike out portions of the COM
plant is denied and the demurrer in the
case overruled, the defendants being given
ten days in which to answer.
1t is held In the opinion that the bidding
was not competitive; that the bids of Gar
ratt & Co. for $l64, 900 and that of Robert
Effey, the successful bidder, were substan-
tally in the same handwriting; that
Effey's bid was based upon many matters
of his own not in the plans of Mr.. Mon
jeau, The engineer who designed the
works.
There are more than 500 tappings now
made with the new works, and there is
some CONSERVATION among consumers to
know what the result will be. The Judge
deals with this in the opinion by saying
that if hardship results in any particular
instance the answer is that the law was
plain at the outset, and that all men who
deal with municipal corporations are con-
cluslvely presumed to know the law.
