DANIEL a. SHEA's SUIT.
Wants $4,000 From the Pullman and
Southern Pacific Companies.

0OTtHern PdctUc Companies.
SAN JOSE. CAL, Aug. 27.-Daniel A.
Shea to-day began suit in the Superior
Court against the Pullman Palace Car
Company and the Southern Pacific Com
pany for $4,000 damages for being elected
from Pullman car attached to Southern
Pacific train at Mohave station on Sep
tember 2, 1895. On that date Shea pur-
chased frst-class ticket from Los Ange-
les to San Francisco with sleeping-car
privileges. When the train reached Mo-
have the employees of the Pullman car
forcibly elected him. Shea alleges that he
was violently assaulted, dragged from his
seat, beat over the head with some Hard
instrument and knocked down, and then
dragged into day coach, where he was
left in bleeding and weakened condition
from the loss of blood. The employees
made no attempt to ease his pain and
suffering, and he was obliged to continue
in such condition to San Francisco, with
out being allowed the privileges of Sleep
ing-car accommodations.
Shea alleges that he suffered great physi-
cal and mental anguish and was confined
to his bed for two months, besides having
his face SCARED for life. Besides $50, 900
damages prayed for he asks for $50 dam
age done to his clothes and costs of suit.

Viewed in any light there is no reason
able way by which the Democrats can
evade the tariff question, yet their paid
champions persistently ignore it. seeking
TO throw doubt and confusion in the
minds of the masses by their perpetual
cry of free silver.
The CALL, however, has presented many
facts 10 show that the industries of the
country are suffering from an attack of
free trade IN mild form, the same malady
which such men as Bryan heralded as the
sovereign remedy for industrial ills.
Continuing the investigation of theques-
ton along the lines marked out in previ-
GUS issues, covering period long anterior
to the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan, it can be shown beyond any ques-
ton that the industries of the country
suffered greatly after the first effects of
the Wilson bill, and that they have prac-
ticaIly been running down bill ever since.
The vice president of the Cambria Iron
and Steel Works, in answer to the inquui-
ries of the American Economist as to the
effect of the Wilson bill, made the follow.

Taylor and its naming IS another quick
step in the campaign march of the true
blue Democrats of California, who have a
higher regard for their ancient and
honored party principles than for the
anarchistic Chicago platform and the
gathering in of little patronage under
the mere party name.
The league is practically State party

which Is practically State Central Com

leadin Democrats of California. The
committee is as follows:

OF the executive committee within day

on literature, finance, membership, head

organization put in complete working

Since that report, however. as recent in
quiries have shown, the condition on the
Pacific Coast has become worse. Labor
Com m issioner Fitzgerald, speaking OF in
dustrial conditions few days ago, said:
There have been more than 1000 applica-

not been able to give places to more than 1000.
The student of politics, the observer of

present distress, will admit that every re-
port yet published in these columns is as
conservative as history.
In the last four articles reference has
were acknowledged to exist at least year
ago. This removes the possibility OF an
accusation of campaign malice.
The report of the statisticians heretofore
quoted from continues as follows:
peculiar condition appears to have existed
In the Southern States, where there was a de-
crease OF 30 per cent in the EMPLOYMENT of
labor, OF only 20 per cent in wages and of 26
per cent in the output The fact that the
average OF wages was not cut down shows that
more hands were entirely discharged: the
average earnings OF those remaining increased
by $40 per capita. 1t should be remembered
that wages generally are much lower in the
South than in other sections of the country
Heuce it was possibly not found advisable to
make such large reductions in the payrolls as
were made elsewhere.
In the Western States and Territories it
would appear that every possible effort had
been made to retain wage earners in their po-
sitions. The large reduction in wages is ac-
counted for, perhaps, by the fact that wages
are much higher in the Western States than
they are in New England, the middle or south
ern sections. The loss of employment to the
wage earners was 26 per cent, and there was
loss OF 54 per cent in the wages earned and of
80 per cent in output. The average reduction
IN the earnings of every individual worker
amounted to $l26, loss that must have en-
tailed very serious amount of distress.

The Failure Still a Matter of
Much Comment in Busi-
ness Circles.
STRONG TALK OF COMPROMISE
Umbsen & Co. Are Making an Earnest
Effort to Buy the Entire
Business.

The financial affairs of J. J. O'Farreil &
Co. continue to furnish an interesting
topic for discussion in business circles.
Naturally the failure of so prominent a
real estate firm has created world OF
eidedly Unsavory flavor. This is particu-
Iarly true since many of the main facts
attending the assignment have come to
light.
In endeavoring to explain some of the
circumstances which brought about his
financial ruin Mr.. O'Farrell saw proper to
refer to his business relations a few years
back with n. H. Lang. He stated that
the withdrawal of the latter from the firm
of O'Farrell & Lang was attended with
considerable financial strain, and was
finally responsible for his downfall.
Mr.. Lang denies this, but declines to
discuss in any way his late partners finan-
cial affairs. ''All l have to say" he re-
marked, lis that the books and the bill of
sale gave him when l retired from the
firm tell quite different story"
Yesterday there were many callers at
the office of O'Farrell & Co. on Mont
gomery street and anxious inquiries made
by those who will suffer most through the
failure. AS yet no definite plan of settle
meQJ mas Deen agreed on, LlOugn several
have been suggested. The one promising
the greatest amount of relief and security
to the creditors is proposition said to
have been made by Um bsen & Co., to pur-
chase the entire business of the defunct
firm.
A meeting Of creditors and clientage
has been called for this purpose to-day at
2 O clock The chief difficulty IN the way
of straight-out sale seems to be the ques-
tion of price. 1t is considered likely, how
ever, that this objection will be safely
got over at the meeting to-day.
Should the plan to sell to Umbsen &
Co. fall through it is said that some of the
creditors will make an effort TO have them
placed in charge of the business until the
exact liza bilities can be ascertained. The
amount of O'FarrelPs indebtedness has
not yet been ascertained, but it gives
promise of running well into the thou
sands. In the meantime Umbsen & Co.
have temporary charge of affairs.
Mr.. Heggerty of the firm of knight &
Heggerty said last night:
81 have no doubt that an amica BILE set
tlement will be reached at the meeting to-
day. The failure is perfectly honest
one and has been coming for the last four
years-ever since in fact his partnership
with Mr.. Lang. There is not the least
thing crooked about it and all such talk is
extremely unjust to Mr.. O'Farrell.
"Umbsen & Co. have temporary charge
of the business and will submit PROPOSE
ton to the creditors to-day which think
Will be accepted"

LITTLE EASTER GIFTS.
Pretty Trifcs in Egg shells That May b.
Wade Costly or Simple.


Quaint little egg coseys, one in egg shape
with a hare painted on 1t, the other repre-
senting n chicken, would have ready
market at Easter sales, and may also be
commended to those who find the special
demand for fancy work at Christmas and
Easter a welcome means of putting addi-
tional pennies into their purses.
Both are made of painted felt The first
consists of two pieces on each side, cut
into egg shape and sewed together, with a
finish in briar stitch along the edges. The
lower part Is yellow, pinked at the bottom,
the upper, of white is more irregularly cut
to represent broken egg shell. A chicken
part way out of the shell, or any other
appropriate device, may be substituted
for the hare by way of variety, IL a num-
Der are to be made. on the top is bow
of narrow ribbon, with one loop left long
err. If the maker has not time or skin to
paint the cosy, 1t will be very pretty in yell
low and white, the Easter colors. or a
chicken or egg could be cut out of yellow
felt and button-holed on.
The second, in chicken shape, is a little
more difficult. This is cut from two pieces
of yellow or white felt inches high and
SM inches wide. the eyes, beak, etc, being
painted.
A pretty little basket for keeping boiled
eggs hot while breakfast waits for fag-
CARDS, Is either round or oval, made of
some pretty fancy straw. If 1t has a
handle, so much the better; II not, one
could be manufactured of piece of whale
bone and wound around either with ribbon
or narrow strips of felt. If the handle
cannot be conveniently manufactured, SUBJ
stitute n rosette of ribbon, which will or

Gifts of flowers are so appropriate to the
Easter season that the accompanying de-
sign of n little vase to hold them, made of
an egg shell, doubtless will be welcome to
many readers. The top of the egg shell IL
broken irreguarly and three white beans
are gummed upon the other end to serve
for feet. The whole is then coated with
gilt paint and decorated with tiny land
scape painted in oil colors. Those who
have not skill to do this, or consider 1t
scarcely worth while to put so much labor
on so fragile an article. will find the effect
very pretty II the gold paint is used sim

broken top of the shell and here and there

bunch of violets this would be a dainty
present for Easter morning.
