A JOKE ON THE CAPTAINS
A Grewsome Joke Played on
the Master of the
Vigilant.
Morgue Wagon Summoned for ,
Corpse That Proved to Be
a Dummy.

The crew of the big tug Fearless had lots
OF fun with the men on the Vigilant and
Active last Tuesday night. They hung a
dummy on the fence, and in the dark it
was mistaken for corpse. In conse-
quence the Morgue was rung up by the
captain of the Vigilant, and the wagon
was sent to Folsom street wharf to carry
away the suicide" When the search
light was turned on the remains the hoax
was at once plain. 1t was an old suit of
clothes stuffed with straw and a false face
for a head. Around the neck was the
rope, and one hand was up to the neck, or
where the neck should have been, as If to
pull the cord away. On the breast of the
dummy was the single word Bryan

1t was then that Manning rang in for the

A FINAL PARADE.

Republicans of all ranks and conditions
are enthusiastic over the result in Califor-
MIA and there is universal demand for a
grand parade and torchlight procession in
celebration of the victory.
The San Francisco County Committee
and the State Central Committee will
hold joint session tonight to consider
the details of plan to ratify on a grand
scale as soon as possible after the result is
definitely reported.
1t is fit and proper that this celebration
be the finest ever seen in the West The
place of the event has not yet been de-
cided upon, but Colonel Stone very
properly suggests that to Oakland and
Alameda County belong the honor of
having the parade, for it was on the soil
of Alameda County that the State was
saved from the hungry clutch of the
Bourbon anarchists who sought TO
stampede this glorious State in
to the Bryan column. THE CALL

ing every business and every industry of
the State. All of them are men who had
affairs of their own to which to attend,
and yet during the whole of the long con-
test they gave largely OF their time. their
money and their energy to the cause of
Republicanism. They did this for the
general good. They did it for the public
welfare, and their motives were those of
the best citizenship and the truest patriot
ism.
Therefore to the State committee, the
county committees and the Republican
clubs the people of California owe deep
debt of gratitude. They have redeemed
the State from what threatened to be a
disaster that would have amounted almost
to disgrace. They have put California
in line with the progressive common
wealths OF the Union and made it clear to
the Nation that the prevailing sentiment
OF Californians is the same as that of the
conservative East. They have removed
her from the column of doubtful States
on all such issues as those involved in this
contest and made it certain that her elec-
toral vote will always be cast for 'patriot-
ism, protection and prosperity"

THE DEFEAT OF TAYLOR.

The defeat of Colonel Taylor in this City
was due wholly tc the Chronicle, Boss
Kelly, Candidate Laumeister and the gang
which supported them in their treason to
the Republican organization. The chief
traitor in the com bination was the Chroni-
Gle. Without the strength given by that
paper the conspirators against Republi-
can success could have effected nothing.
Colonel Taylor would have been the
Mayor-elect of the City and many another
good Repu blican now defeated would have
been successful in his aspirations.
The effect OF the treason OF the Chronicle,
so disastrous in this City not only to the
Republican party but to the cause of good
government, was felt throughout the State.
1t disconnected and discouraged Republi-
cans everywhere. 1t carried confusion
into the ranks in every section of the
State, and many a Republican who has
been defeated at the polls can trace his
defeat back to the dishonorable course
pursued here by paper which professed
to have at heart the interest of Republi-
canism, and yet sought by every means in
its power TO defeat its candidates, weaken
its prestige and prevent its victory.
California would have given large and
notable majority for Mckinley over the
combined Populists and Democrats had it
not been for the dissensIon raised in San
Francisco by this gang of party traitors
for the qualification of their personal spite,
selfish ambitions and mean jealousies. 1t
is a matter of qualification that any sue
cess at all was gained over so formidable
an opposition aided and abetted by such
formidable treason.
Due credit will be given to loyal Repub-
licans who in the face of fusion opposi-
tion and in defiance of party treason
fought and won the, great victory for pro-
lection and sound money which gives
California an honored place in the column
of American commonwealths whose elec-
toral votes will be cast for Mckinley and
Hobart. While, however, that credit is
given where it is justly due, loyal Repub-
licans will also take note where party
treason deserves condemnation and will
give that also with emphasis and vigor.
The Chronicle may rejoice this morning
over the defeat of Colonel Taylor, bu.
sooner or later it will have reason to re-
gret its course. The Republican party,
which knows how to reward its friends,
knows also how to punish those who have
betrayed it in the heat of the conflict and
endeavored to defeat it in the ballot.
When the voice of indignant Republican
ism makes itself heard the Chronicle and
its friends will find more cause for sorrow
than for rejoicing in the defeat of Colonel
Taylor, in the weakening of Repu blican
strength all over the State and in the
lessening of the vote for the Presidential
ticket.

SHOWING ITSELF
IN COURT AGAIN
Third Appeal of the Hale
c Norcross Now
Pending.
Question of Alleged Conspiracy
Discussed at Some
Length.
THE METHODS OF AssAY1Nc
Claim Advanced That the Differeuc,
Between Two Modes Involves
Over 100000.
THE METHODS OF AssAY1Ne.

The litigation to which W. W. Fox and
the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Com.
pany are parties is once more before the
Supreme Court of the State upon the
third appeal. The brief of the appellants,
the Hale & Norcross Company, was placed
on file yesterday. In the case there is
engaged a long array of legal talent for
the appellants, including W. F. Herrin,
LLOYD & Wood. CARRIER, Boalt & Bishop,
Bishop & Wheeler and w. E. F. Deal.
The brief is very long, and embraces
much that is of interest in view of the
amount involved and the great amount of
publicity which the case has achieved.
A part of the space is given up TO the
discussion of the allegations concerning
conspiracy, which were the sensational
part of the proceedings at the outset. "a
simple conspiracy" says the attorneys for
the appellants, "however atrocious, unless
it results in actual damage to the party,
never was the subject of civil action, and,
though such con piracy be charged the
averrment is immaterial and need not be
proved.
'The complainant will not be allowed
to extend the inquiry beyond ahe plain
allegation of his complaint, because he
may nave charged IN Otner parts or Ills
pleadings the existence of the general
conspiracy to wrong the Hale & Norcross
Company. Fraud must be specifically
charged, and the burden of proof is upon
him who alleges it. Hence we find the
plaintiff is required to sustain his allega-
tions, and failing in that he is not entitled
TO recover. Tried by the standards thus
raised the case will very quickly end"
The grounds upon which the third ap-
peal IS based are many, among them being
the alleged failure of the proof of allega-
ton, the alleged error of the Superior
Court in its determination OF the value of
the ore delivered to the mills, and that
''the case is wholly barren OF any evidence
TO support or justify finding of fraudu-
lent or imperfect milling of the Hale s.
Norcross ores at the Nevada and Mexican
mills
The brief also sets up that there was a
difference OF $326 4SS 81 between the two
modes of determining the value of the
ore. The battery sample assays show, it
was alleged, the true value and the car
sample assays proved unreliable. Only
the fine ore was selected for sample and
that method gave an exaggerated value.
These are some of the claims set up on the
third appeal
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-05

Miss Rosalind Ellicott, an English musician.
has been elected an associate Of the Royal
Academy OF Music, in recognition of her work
as composer. This young woman adds an
other TO the already long list of rising femi-
nine writers of music who are beginning TO
wipe away the reproach often uttered by
men who deny the possession of intellectual
attainments to women-namely, "Whatever
else women have done, no woman has ever
written music that amohnts 10 anything"
Like most OF the male composers, Miss El-
Hcott showed her talent early, for at years
of age she commenced writing little tunes
which, strange to say, were correctly harmon
lied She studied composition, etc. at the Royal
Academy when she became old enough to take
serious lessons, and in 1856 she produced an
overture which was performed at the Glouces-
ter festival and at the Crystal Palace in 1891.
Since her debut in 1886 Miss Ellicott has
written regularly for the Gloucester festivals.
In 1889 her contribution was a cantata en-
titled 'Elysium," in 1892 a similar work,
"The Birth of Song,'' and in 1895 g fantasia
for piano and orchestra performed at the Crys-
tai Palace. She has also written choral

CONTRACT AWARDED
Bateman Bros Bid on the New. VI unici-
pal Building Was the Lowest
offered.

The Board OF Supervisors has apparently
determined not to waste any time in get
ting the new municipal building under
way now that the bids for construction
have been received. When the proposals
were opened on Monday they were re-
ferred to the Municipal Buildings Com
mittee to determine which was the most
advantageous to the City, and whether
the bidders were responsible.
The committee held a meeting yester-
day and award the valuable contract to
Bateman Bros. for$ 254, 500. This was the
lowest bid. The other bidders whose
tenders were considered were: T Cali

J. F. Riley, $274, ,172; NJ. MCGOWAN. S273,-

The ground on which the main building
is to be constructed has been cleared up.
and work on the foundations of the fine
structure will be begun very shortly. The
Morgue building is to be torn down as
soon as the contractors are ready to begin

GOOD WORK WE'LL DONE.

The success achieved by the Republican
party in California comes even to the most
sanguine almost in the nature of a sur
prise. The mbination of Democrats and
Populists gave clear majority in opposi-
ton to the Republican party when the
campaign began. Discussions in Repub-
lican ranks in this City occasioned by a
few sore headed leaders in opposition to
the regular ticket added to the difficulty
of the contest. 1t seemed at one time as if
defeat was certain; and that victory has
been accomplished is in the highest degree
creditable to the men who conducted the
campaign.
To Major Mclaughlin and his fellow
mem bers of the State Committee honor is
due from every loyal Republican. They
managed every phase of the contest with
mastery skill and waged it from start to
finish with untiring energy. 1t may be
literally said of them that they organized
victory. They brought into the ranks not
only every loyal Republican but suffi.
cient mum Der OF good citizens from among
independents and honest money Demo-
Gratis to overwhelm their enemies, and in
the grand triumph of the election they
have right to wear the laurels of victory.
The County Central committees also de-
serve honor and credit for the faithful, full.
illment of work entrusted to them, In
every case they ably upheld the State Gen.
trail Committee and carried out all its
plans with the &C tivity and zeal of skillful
and resolute lieutenants. To tnelr efforts
it is due that the vote was Brought out in
each locality and that so many Republi-
cans have been elected in the face of what
seemed to be overwhelming odds.
An important feature of the campaign
was the work done by Republican clubs.
These carried out the plans arranged by
the committee and rallied TO the party
those resolute and enterprising men who
fought for success in every part of the
field, and in the main accom- plished VIC
tory. Such great organizations as the
Union League Club, the Mckinley Inyin-
cibles, the Plumed Knights, the Oakland
Alliance. the Santa Clara County Reuub-
lican Club and other associations of the
kind were among the most potent means
of saving the State from the Bryanites.
Among these clubs were men represent
