SANTA CLARA GROWERS ACT:
WIN Petition the. Ways and Means Com
mittee for Duty on Green and
Dried Fruit. ;

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 23.-A meeting of
fruit.growers and citizens will be held In
Judge Lorigan's court room Saturday
afternoon, under call issued by the
Board of Trade, to take action looking to
the imposing of duty upon green and
dried fruit. Suitable resolutions VIII be
adopted and forwarded TO the Ways and
Means Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, which will give hearings upon
the subject of duties on fruits and fruit
prod about the 1st of January. The
meeting is called in accordance with a
suggestion made by Congressman Loud in
letter received by the Board of Trade a
lew days ago.

The importance of a revision of the
tariff on fruit aud wines may be esti-
mated, as stated by a fruit man, through
the computation of duty of even l cent a
pound based upon last seasons crop.
which would mean about $350,000 upon
dried fruit alone, added to which reason
able duty upon wines,. and this valley
would be The richer by nearly half a
million dollars. The above being true OF
the past season, the same authority de-
clared that with full crop from all the
trees now in bearing and in good vintage,
a tariff properly framed would mean not
less an increase in the wealth of this val
ley than 81 000, 900.

Wounding a Man in Bar.
Room Brawl.

BOISE, IDAHO, Dec 23.-Harry Kline, q
sheepherder known over large part OF
this State as "Bunko Pete" and all-round
bad man, paid the penalty with his lie
for the attempted murder of Marion Car
ner at Hagerman to-day. During brawl a
quarrel was commenced between Garner
and 'iBunko Pete" in saloon where the
crowd had been drinking. Suddenly
"Bunko Pete" whipped out revolver and
shot Garner through the body, and it was
thought he had killed Garner.
After firing the shot Kline ran out and
mounted his horse and started for cattle
camp, twenty miles distant in the noun
tains.
Gu the way he passed a house where
woman was staying to whom he was en-
gagged. He made signals indicating that
he was pursued, but yielded to her i'm
ploraing to stop and say good-by. The
posse in pursuit, consisting of Sheriff S
deputies and an indignant mob of men,
came in sight of Petes horse standing in
front OF the house. They came up before
Pete was halfway out of the house.
There was chorus of yells of Hang
him!" The desperate shouted back,
Never" and opened fire on the crowd.
One man was wounded. Kline refused to
throw up his hands and the posse opened
fire. killing him instantly.
Kline was cowboy and was considered
desperate character. He had killed
more than his one man, il is said. His
victim, Garner, will probably recover, al
though he has dangerous wound.

Everything they do is with a view of
conforming to its wishes. They sleep by
the clock, dress by the clock, eat by the
clock, sit, walk, read, smoke, work by the

time-hours, minutes and seconds. They
spend their lives counting them. They
can never enjoy themselves or let them

suddenly for fear they should forget the

They will stop doing something useful,

Jones and the Appeal editor occurred on
the block occupied by the Postoffice. The

THE WcToRiA MQUlRY.
Witness contrrdicts Captain Mclean Re-
sarding the Price Brought by
the Favorife.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 23-Before the
Boring Sea Claims Commission to-day
Theodore Lubbe, continuing his evidence
under cross-examination by Dickinson,
said he had no interest in any of the
claims now before the commission. Pc
ters then put question as to the price
the Favorite sold for, wanting, he said, to
show that it sold for $4,000, and not for
$4,000, as stated by Captain Mclean.
Justice Putnam raised an objection to
the case being again opened on question
of value. Peters said he did not see why
he should not show what price the
schooner was sold for Putnam said the
commissioners had some rights as to the
time taken up by the counsel. Peters
replied that the counsel also had, rights
and it was within their rights to put the
claims in q satisfactory manner.
Justice Putnam said he had the highest
regard for counsel on both sides, but there
were times when the best of counsel
needed checking. Peters admitted this
but said that when counsel were checked
and held that they were right it was then
within their right TO persist.
Captain Mclean had been put forward
as an important witness. and in making
statement of facts did not show the date
when the schooner was sold, although ae
was interested in the sale and had
knowledge o. it. He proposed, he said,
to show that the Favorite was valued at a
much higher price than Captain Mclean
said. AS that evidence was not only to
be used in the case of the Carolena, but
would also be made evidence in other
cases, he claimed the right to show
whether it was to be relied upon, and to
show the sales in which Captain Mclean
was interested.
Dickinson considered that Captain Nc
Leans valuation was for 1886. and the
witness had stated he did not know OF any
sale in 1886.
Justice Putnam finally withdrew his
objection. Lubbe, in reply TO Peters

A PECULIAR FISH.
The Turbot's Ball and ocket Eyes Are
OF Black and Gold.

The Turbot's Ball and Socket Eyes Are
OF Black and Gold.
Lying limp and shiny on fishm onger's
slab. or dry and sandy in the Dutch fish
wives baskets, the turbot is perhaps the
least interesting of fish. When swimming
in an artificial sea or lying on the sandy
bottom it is the most attractive of all the
denizens of this mock ocean, and whether
at rest or in motion has an air OF vigilance,
vivacity and in telligence greater than that
OF any of the normally shaped fish. This
is in part due to his habits and in part to
the expression of the fiat fishs eye. This,
which is sunk and invisible in the dead
fish, is raised on kind of turret in the
living turbot, or sole, and set there in q
haIf-revoiving apparatus, working almost
as independently as the "ball and socket"
eyes of the chameleon.
There is difference, however, in the
eve of the lizard and of the fish-the iris
OF the chameleon is a mere pinhole at the
top of the eyeball, which is thus abso-
lutely without expression. The turbot's
or"butt's" eyes are black and gold and in
tensely bright with none Of the fixed,
staring, stupid appearances OF ordinary
fishes eyes. 1t lies upon the sand and
jerks its eyes indie pendeptly into position
TO survey any part of the ground surface,
and the water above or that on either side
at any angle.
IL IL mad ught rays 10 project from It's
eyes instead of to receive the effect would
be precisely that made by the sudden
shifting OF the jointed apparatus which
casts the electric light from warship Tat
any angle On the sea, sky or horizon. The
turbots, though ready, graceful SWIM
mers, moving in warlike fluctuations
across the water, or dashing off like
flash when so disposed, usually lie per-
fectly still upon the bottom. They do not,
like the dabs and founders, cover them
selves with sand, for they mimic the
color of the ground with such absolute
fidelity that except for the shining eve it
is almost impossible to distinguish them.
1t would appear that volition plays some
part in this subtle conformity to environ
ment, for one turbot, which is blind, has
changed tint too light and not all in
harmony with that of the sand.-London
Spectator.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 23.-To-day
occurred the first transmission OF the cleo
trio current TO this city over the new line
of the Central Electric Company. 1t was
a success. The company's power-house is
at Newcastle, thirty miles distant, the
power being furnished from the reservoirs
OF the South Yuba Water Company.
Three hig potential wires carry the cur
rent to the station in this city, which is
furnished with two motors and two are
light dynamos, which will run 120 arc
lights. II has also eight step-down trans
formers to reduce the voltage, and the
switch board is furnished with several of
the latest Improvements.
This morning a current of 1900 volts
was turned on at Newcastle to test the
line, and it was found to be in perfect or

the company expects 10 test its arc lights.
