| Hollister into a state of excitement.
Simmons daily and evening meetings
which were conducted in tent, have at
tracted large congregations. In addition
to preaching, he pretended to know some
thing of phrenoIogy, and the fatterv
which he gave to many who came forward
to have their dumps examined resulted
in short time in the formation of a large
class, of which Miss McCroskey was a
member.
Last week the young woman branched
out and occupied the stand in the tent
both as preacher and phrenologist Her
success at this first attempt was more than
she could stand, and the encomiums OF
the willy professor placad her completely in
his power.
The elopement was evidently prear-
ranged affair. Miss McCroskey came to
town TO day with her sister, Edith, and
they were heard to remark as they parted
with their mother on the street, "She is
not on to the racket"
This would have been true had not Dis
trict Attorney Dooling and County Clerk
Foote been on the train on which the
e!opers departed. These officials recog-
nized the young lady and her companion,
and as soon as Gilrov was reached word
was sent to the parents of the girl, who are
prominent and respected people.
Professor Simmons came here from
Napa, where, it is said, his actions were
not above reproach. He had been here
but few days when there was questions
as to his moral life. One of the local pa
pers published statement at which he
took offense, and to vindicate himself he
had many persons testify in an open meet
ing as to what he had been. 1t was
reported here this evening that the couple
were arrested in San Jose, and will be re-
turned here tomorrow.

SAN JOSE, CAL. March 13.-Deputy
Sheriff Curley of San Francisco who was
a visitor at the County Jail to-day, identi-
fled the picture of Lee Haller, who served
a term here year ago for petty larceny,
as that of Highwayman Schneider, who is
now in jail at Ukiah charged with high
way robbery and assault to murder ex-
Sheriff Standley.
About three months ago, it is charged,
Schneider held up the stage between
Ukiah and Round Valley. In the hot
chase given by the officers after the rob-
berry Schneider shot Standley.
On February %, 1895, Haller was arrested
by Constable Martin for looting the depot
at Mountain View. When arrested he
carried a revolver that had been stolen
from Sourrisseau's gunstore in this city.
The evidence was not sufficient to convict
him of burglary and lie was prosecuted on
the charge of stealing the revolver. He
was convicted Of petty larceny and gwen
120 days in the County Jail.

Dying Thoroughbreds Eagerly
Lick Up Water From Their
Owners Hands.
CREsCENTs PITIFUL NEIGH.
One Mare Found Nearly Buried Under
the Earth Paved Up in Her
Struggles.

MODESTO, CAL, March 13.-"White
Hat" McCarty returned this evening from
Canty's ranch, whittier he went to see his
band of starving horses. When inter-
viewed he said he had put 294 into the pas
ture. To-day he found 100 living and
thirty-fo dead, the balance being on the
lower part of the ranch. He will go down
tomorrow to hunt up those in the brush.
McCarty was accompanied by Admer N.
Brown, former employe. When they ar
rived at Canty's ranch this morning they
found the men, under Canty's directions,
separating the weakest horses and feeding
them, giving them better pasture and haul
ing feed. McCarty offered to buy load of
hay and Canty sold it. McCarty found
three valuable animals unable to rise. One
was the mare Crescent, sired by Promptor.
and another Daisy S, the mother of three
of the finest horses on the coast-Little
Bob, Messitent (bought for $65O0) and
Phyllis. AT present the horses found by
him to-day are being well fed on bran, hay
and grass. McCarty denounces Canty
strongly. He says:
81 wouldn't think OF letting such an
outrage go unpunished. l have $3O0,O00
invested in the horses, their value ranging
from $500 to $450U. Some of them belong
to my son. 1t is pitiful to see some of
them. Crescent, when approached, neighed
feebly. Brown and carried water in our
hands, which the mare licked eagerly.
One mare was nearly buried by the earth
paved up in her struggles.
when they we're first put into the pas
ture Canty told ME the horses could run
the entire length of the land to the river;
then he put in a cross-fence, contining all in
the poor pasture on the island. Canty tells
me he buried all that died near the road
l cannot see why his neighbors, seeing the
condition of the stock, did not break down
the fence and let all out to feed.'
The date for McCartys examination has
not yet been set by the court.

Ort found that he had produced fair
negative, but was surprised TO see that
some of the articles had been photographed
in duplicate and triplicate. It occurred to
him that this was produced by jarring of
the pieces. The sheetiron key was taken
in triplicate and the brass KEY in duplicate,
and the one-cent pieces in duplicate. One
of the washers and one of the putty points
lodged on the piece of abalone shell. This
disturbance was caused by the placing of
the horseshoe magnet. But it opened to
Mr.. Ort the possibility that the production
was instantaneous, and if this could be
proven the twelve hours in the dark room
would be shown to be unneccessary
He took another plate, confined it in the
box only one second, and was rewarded
with faint impression of the articles.
The irst picture shows the outlines of
the several articles quite distinctly, so that
an observer may distinguish their shape
and form with ease, though the dupIica-
tions look much like shadows. The OBJ
iects are more strongly represented under
the poles of the magnet than at the curva-
ture There is light circle on the photo
at the end where the curvature of the
magnet lay, while the poles are not repro
duced in the picture.
Mr.. Ort is confident that the permanent
magnet may be used with success in this
line of experiments and feels that he has
demonstrated that there is no need for the
production of fuorescence in order to pro-
duce a photograph. He says he has never
used Crookes tube, though he is satisfied
that he could use it successfully from the
information he has gained from newspa-
per accounts. He believes that there is
something beyond the mere production of
a photograph in the uses of the permanent
magnet and he will give some attention to

Republicans Determined to Elect
Boyle to the United States
Senate.
BLACKBURN's CHANCES wANE.
Democrats Defeat Legislation of the
Session by Blocking Measures
in the Senate.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 13.-Only
three more ballots can be taken for United
States Senator, and as time brings the final
ballot nearer. the anxiety of the party
leaders becomes more feverish. 1t be-
tokens a forthcoming struggle as last
effort to elect, but whether that will take
place tomorrow, Monday or Tuesday none
but the leaders can say, If even they know.
There are very few who believe Sena-
tor can be elected, and these few believe
that if any can it will be a Republican.
Among these are St. John Boyle himself
and his leaders and advisers.
As for the Blackburn leaders, they have
given up hopes of electing him and are
centering all their energies upon prevent
ing Boyle's election, and that is why they
persist in having so many of their friends
present in the State House each day.
They will, if possible, prevent Wood
Dunlap from entering the House and
taking his seat, and Senators James and
Walton from entering the Joint assembly
and voting for United States Senator.
1t was fully expected that Dunlap would
take the oath this morning, and as the
hour OF noon approached members were
the House; but he did not come. SEN
ators James and Walton were in the
House, and sat out. the joint assembly, no
effort being made by the Democrats to
have them removed.
The Joint assem- bly, took another fruit
less ballot at noon. The vote stood:
Blackburn 80, Carlisle 13 Buckner 1. No
Republican voted.
There was the usual amount of vaporing
talk, but no blood was spilled. The Sheriff
and a number of deputies were in the State
House at the request of the Governor, but
their services were not required.
Tonight Governor Bradley stated most
emphatically that he would not call an
extra session. The financial legislation
will be unfinished when the Legislature
adjourns. The measures have passed the
House, but are being hung up in The Sem
ate. Senator who is a leader of the
Democrats made it his boast to-day that
none of these measures would ever pass
in he Senate, the object being to cripple
the Republican Government. In view of
the attitude of the Democratic majority of
the Senate in this particular the Governor
considers that It would be useless to call
an extra session.

demonstrate the fact that emanntions from
a horseshoe magnet have the same effect
on a sensitive plate as that produced by
the Roentgen or X-rays. He accidentally
left a common horseshoe magnet near
bunch of dry plates and found in a little
while that the plates were logged" or
clouded from the action of the magnet
This suggested to him that the permanent
magnet might have the same effect on
sensitive plate, so he undertook the exper-
iment.
Mr.. Ort was aware that emanations from
an electric magnet would affect dry plate
the same as the light would affect it. and
since the horseshoe or permanent magnet
also affected the dry plates, as inslanced
by the accidental placing of one near a
bunch of them, he concluded that the ex-
pertinent would become demonstration.

SANTA ROSA CAL, March ia spe-
cial committee of ladies', consisting of
Mrs. E. +. Woodward, Mrs. l.. w. Burris
and Miss Isabel Donovan, REINFORCED the
regular decoration committee to-day on a
visit to the Board of Supervisors. The
board was asked to decorate the court
house with evergreens and azaleas for the
coming carnival, at a cost of about 500.
All of the members OF the board seemed
willing to comply with this reasonable re-
quest except Chairman Hall, and neither
the beauty of the ladies nor the eloquence
of the gentlemen could obtain from the
economical presiding officer more than a
promise to consider the matter.
1t is now definitely settled that Romeo
vieri's American concert band, of thirty
five pieces. will be engaged for the corona
ton concert as well as to lead the parade
and play for the floral ball.

has just finished a trip across the conti-

ance at the carnival. He was shown the
sights of the city to-day, and. among other
things of interest, saw the big ballot-box,
half-full of silver-aden envelopes, by
which the contest for Queen will be de-
cided. Captain Wits soon became
affected by the voting mania, and during
the afternoon deposited over 500 votes for
his favorite candidate.
Miss Julia Guerne has forged steadily
ahead all day and is now thought to be
leading in the contest. Miss Guerne is the
daughter OF George Guerne, the we'll
known breeder of trotting horses, from
whom the town of GuernevilIe takes its
name. That she is an exceedingly popu-
lar young lady is evidenced by the heavy
vote that has been polled for her every day

He took an ordinary hardwood plate
holder, such as photographers use, and
placed within it the sensitized plate
adapted to photograph and on the top of
the box placed various articles of alumi-
mum, copper. zinc, abalone shell, brass
and sheetiron. The aluminium was repre-
sented by small squares, the copper by
small washers and one-cent pieces, the zinc
by triangular putty points such as are
used by GLACIERS, the abalone shells by a
round fragment about the size of nickel,
the brass by Yale key and the sheetiron
by fiat drawer-key. On these articles he
laid an eight-inch horseshoe magnet. and
wrapped around this box, articles and
magnet a piece of black paper, placed the
package within three thicknesses of card
board and carried 1t into the dark room,
where it was left for twelve hours. The
plate was then removed from the plate
holder and developed by the iko-hydro-
potash process.
