An I,,dia1s Jailed ut Ricerside Charged
Nth Completely dn the Crime.
RIVERSIDE, Call. Feb. 12.-Francisco
Rodriguez, an indian about 20 years O
age. was landed in the County Jail here
to-day by Deputy Sheriff Marsh of Lo:
Angeles upon charge of being an accom-
plice of Francisco Guavis, the Ind1ar
who is charged with the murder of Mrs
Amelia Platt, the Government school
teacher, who was foully murdered on the
Pachango Indian reservation, nearly
two years ago.
Rodriguez is an innocent-looking half
breed, who looks like anything but mur.
derer. When questioned regarding the
crime of which he is charged, Rodriguez
declared his innocence of any participa-
ton or knowledge of the bloody affair
The officers, however, think he knows
more than he tells. Other arrests will
follow, and it looks as though the murder
of Mrs. Platt would soon be avenged.

PORT ANGELES, WASH, Feb. IA de-
serter from the English ship Buckingham
was found at 2 O'Clock this morning SWIM
ming out in the middle of the bay. He
was ma king for shore at the time he was
rescued, but was SO exhausted and be-
numbed with cold that he would have per-
ished within a sh ort time. The sailors
cries for help att racted the attention of
those on shore, but owing to the darkness
1t was long time before his position could
be located. When hauled into a boat it
was found that he was clad in heavy suit
of clothes and had on three suits of under
clothing. He had cut out the pockets of
his coat and trousers in order that his
progress through the water might not be
retarded. The Buckingham was being
towed out OF port at the time the sailor
left her, and the only reason he gave for
while drunk and did not want to take a

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 12.-Coroner
Secord held an inquest at the County In
firmary this afternoon over the remains of
Antonio Perez, the italian laborer who
died from wounds received in fight with
q. Lorenzo above Saratoga about ten days
ago.
An autopsy held yesterday revealed the
fact that the pickax had cut through the
left lung, penetrated the pericardium and
cut one of the ventricles of the heart. 1t
is wonder Perez lived so long, and that
death was not instantaneous.
There were no witnesses to the affray,
and after hearing the report of the autopsy
the jury brought in verdict finding that
Perez death resulted from wounds in
flicted by G. Lorenzo.

treasury, rendered him by President
Cleveland but afterward accepted anap-
pointment as Pacific railroad commits
sioner. His report on the relations of
that corporation to the government is
one of the most valuable papers in the
financial history of the land-aided roads,
That sterling old democrat, eX-Chief
Justice jeremiah S. Black, once said of
Pattison: That young man is dream
ing of the presidency, and is taking good
care never to do anything that will
be quoted against him in federal pol
itics."
Mr.. Pattison is strikingly handsome
man. He is feet 21a inches i'll
height, straight as an arrow, and
weighs 200 pounds. His features are
regular and his bright expressive eyes
light up his intellectual face as he
recognizes and salutes as friend. In
his habits he is very domestic. He &C.
cupies a comfortable, unpretentious
stone residence in the suburb of Over
brook, on the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, within a stones throw
of the Montgomery county line. Each
morning of the week he leaves his home
at $3.50 o'clock, and by nine is seated
at his desk in the office of the banking
and insurance company of which he is
president. In religion Mr.. Pattison is
a devoted adherent of the faith Of his
father, the late Rev. Robert Henry Pat
tison, one of the most widely known
ministers of the Methodist Episcopal
church. While the elder Pattison was
stationed at Quantico, Nd, on Decem-
Der 8, 1850, Robert was born. Rev.
Mr.. Pattison was pastor of the Congre-
gational church, which now worships in
the Church of the Covenant, Eighteenth
street, below Spruce, when he died, in
1875, and the son has since been a men,
Der and regular attendant at this
church. A feature of the Sunday
school is the Bible union, in which the
former governor teaches every Sunday
afternoon the international lesson to
nearly 400 men and women. He was
lay delegate to the general confer
ences in 1884 and 1888, and in 1890 was a
fraternal delegate to the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, and in 1891 a delegate
to the Ecumenical council, held in
Washington. Dickinson college, his
fathers alma mater, in 1884 conferred
on him the degree of doctor of laws.

ROBERT E. PATTISON.
Pennsylvania Democrats Boom
Him for the Presidency.
His Career in Public Office, They Say, Is
Free from faint of ScandaI-Young-
est Candidate Ever Placed
in the Field.

Probably the youngest man whose
name will be presented to the democrat
ic national convention as a candidate
for the presidential nomination is Rob
ert Emory Pattison, twice elected gov
crnor of a great state, whose republican
majorities in the last % years have
ranged from 10000 to six times that fig
ure.
As a"man of destiny" says the New
York Herald, there are resemblances in
the career of Pattison to that of Grover
Cleveland. Called from the practice of
law at the threshold of his professional
career to an important public Office in
this city, Pattison gave such positive,
practical, and ofttimes startling evil
dences of his answering fealty to the
people as against any individual or the
joint schemes of public plumber that
came to his notice that it became GER
tainty that he would be retained in the
Office if he would accept another term.
This he did. The position was that of
city comptroller, and he might easily.
have enriched himself had he permitted
'rogues to do the same.
During his second term as city comp
troller of Philadelphia, though only 81
years of age, he was chosen governor
over Gen. James A. Beaver. He gave
the state a clean administration. In
Pennsylvania the governor is not per-
mitted to Immediately succeed himself,
buSfour wears after his retirement he
was, in 1890, again chosen chief execu-
tive of the keystone state by ma
jority of 1854, although the republican
candidates for lieutenant governor and
secretary of internal affairs was elected
by majorities of upward of 10000.
After his first term as governor Mr..
Pattison resumed the practice of law
in Philadelphia. Three months later
he was elected president of the Chestnut
Street national bank. Previously he
had declined the authorship of the

There isn't double standard coun-

regulates value. And yet we are asked

fact-the double standard at ratio

gator thinks about the proposition tie
less likely is he to advocate it. Poll

DAMAGES CLAIMED.

The matter of damages to property
caused by the discontinuance of the
portion of Whittemore avenue os or
dered by the court of common council
was before the board of compensation
last evening.
Henry B. Newton, who represented
the land of the Hewitt company, land
of Samuel Stevens, Joseph A. Joyce
and Charles E. Hull, and also land
owned by himself, was before the board
asking damages. Mr.. Newton thought
the city should pay 50 per foot for the
Hewitt company's land, $3.50 for the
Stevens, Joyce and Hull property and
81 per foot for land owned by himself
There is also a lot belonging to the
Hewitt company of 534 feet along the
avenue, for which Mr. Hewitt thinks
his clinet should be paid the lump sum
of $500.
There was no action taken on the
cases heard. The board will meet next
Thursday evening.
