His Find Made Possible by the
Receipt of Message From
Boston.
GERMAN ASTRONOMERS ERRED,

Believed It to Be One AL.
ready Recorded.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb 15.-The follow
ing telegram was received from Boston at
the Lick Observatory yesterday:
The comet Perrine, known as C, 1895, was
observed at Kie, Germany, as follows: Feb
ruary 13, 1882 of a day, Greenwich mean time !;
right ascension, 19 hours % minutes and %
seconds.
The position mentioned in this telegram
does not agree with observations secured
at Lick Observatory for over two weeks
past by G. D. Perrine. This morning,
while observing his comet. he looked up
the place mentioned IN the telegram from
kiel, and found another comet in the fol-
lowing position: Right ascension, 10 hours
2l minutes 57.95 seconds; declination,
hours 40 minutes and 1 second; February
10, .084, Greenwich mean time.
This new comet is moving rapidly north
to east. 1t is about twice as bright as the
Perrine comet, and can be seen with a
telescope of 3-inch aperture. 1t has a
short tail and decided condensation in
the head, but no nucleus is visible.

A Case Inrotring the Right to Take As
sigmments of Bank Deposits.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 15.-E. T. Fitz-
patrick, an attorney of Redwood, has been
given judgment against D. Bargetto in
Judge Lorigan's court for $257 for attor-
ney fees. The money was turned over to
the court some time ago by the San Jose
Safe Deposit Bank to await the determina-
ton of IT'S ownership by the court. The
case was on trial several days and devel-
oped into one of the most vigorously con-
tested three cornered suits that has been
before the court in this county for a long
time. 1t has been watched with great in
terest by bankers, depositors and attorneys
decision of the court settles the rights of
persons who take assignments of bank
books and savings accounts.
Bargetto got into trouble few months
ago on account of the part he took in a
row near Menlo Park. He engaged Eitz-
patrick as his attorney, the latter agreeing g
to see him through for the amount of
money he had in the bank and $50 extra.
Bargetto paid the attorney $50 and gave
him an order for $257, which was on de-
posit with the Safe Deposit Bank. Before
the order was presented Bargetto got safely
out of his trouble, and he notified the
bank not 10 pay over the money to Fitz-
patrick. A suit was at once instituted
and the bank turned the disputed money
over 10 the court and let Bargetto and
Fitzpatrick fight it out.

MILL VALLEYS RECLUSE,
George F. Marsh Will Close His
Quaint japanese Home
and Leave.
Dreds the Disturbing Hum of Elec.
tricity That Will Come With
the Scenic Railway.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, Feb. 15.-George
F. Marsh, whose japanese home in Mill
Valley has been the admiration of visitors,
says he will sell out and leave because the
Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic
Railroad runs by his place. Mr.. Marsh
does not like the buzz of electricity or the
clang of discordan. bells, and the building
of the mountain road has transformed
his place from sequestered country spot
into a scene of hustle and confusion.
Marsh is a dealer in japanese articles
and has great fancy for them, and it was
for this reason he spent thousands of dol
lars in fixing up his property with unique
creations from the skilled hands of the
japanese. His declaration that he intends
to dispose of his home and leave Mill Val
ley has caused great deal OF surprise and
regret.
When Marsh purchased the property he
now occupies, on Corte MADEIRA avenue, he
believed that he had secured place far
away from the noise ana confusion of the
town, where he would not be bothered by
Sunday revelers or LOUD ,oised pic
nickers.
After he purchased the secluded prop
erty he sent to Japan for number of
skilled workmen, and when they ar
rived put them at work building houses
and fences after the style of the homes
they had left in the Orient. Large in
voices OF bamboo and other Japanese
articles arrived in Mill Valley and were
carted away far up the Cor te MADEIRA
Canyon to the Marsh property, where
the skilled Japs erected artistic fences
and built houses without the use
of nails-in fact, everything was as it is in
Japan. Even the small creek running
through the place was transformed by the
Mlkado's subjects, and peculiar little
waterfalls and bridges were built to greet
the eve of the visitor.
Marsh expended a great deal of money
on his Mill Valley home and it was one OF
the interesting and objective points of the
valley, and one never thought of overlook
ing Marshs place when showing a visitor
the sights.

UNIONS MURDER TRIAL.
Ftfntsy Defense of the alleged Slayer of
the Mnche FamiEu.

UNION, Or, Feb, 15.-The trial of
Kelsay Porter for the murder of the Mache
family in Pine Valley on New Years night
is dragging slowly along. A strong effort
is being made to save the defendants life,
if not his liberty. The courtroom is
densely packed from morning until mid
night.
An attempt was made to-day to prove
that there had been a conspiracy between
the Maches and Lockwood, character
known as "Six Shooter" to kill Porter
Porter went on the stand this afternoon
in his own defense. He explained in de-
tail all the particulars OF the affair, up to
the time of the shooting and killing of
young Mache, claiming that Mache began
shooting at him first, but he did not ac-
count for the killing of the old couple
claiming it must have been accidental
His defense up to now is not very strong
one, and in many communities it would
not be accepted as defense at all. 1t is
claimed, though, that Porter's lawyers
will spring a surprise when they introduce
rebuttal testimony.
The killing of the Mache family is not a
local sensation, but it has aroused indig-
nation of the whole State. In the past few
years SO many murders have been COM
mitted in this locality, and the perpetra-
tors allowed to go free, that the respecta-
bic people are resolved to put an end. to
the carnival of blood. They are deter
mined to make an example of Porter, if
found guilty as charged.

EPPING, n. H., Feb. 1.-Two weeks
ago this village was thrown into a comino-
ton by the announcement that State Sem
ator Charles E. Folsom; who manufactured
box shocks, had failed for 10000 and that
his aged father was ruined by indorsing
his sons paper. For the past fifteen years
Mr.. Folsom has been chairman of the
Board OF Selectmen. and soon after the
failure ugly rumors began to be circulated
that he had misappropriated some of the
towns money to tide him over
Within the past twenty-four hours the
excitement attending the failure has been
greatly increased by the death of Senator
Folsom at an early hour this morning,
and the additional report that he was not
only defaulter to the extent of $12, 600
and more, but had also been forger on
several occasions to hide his stealings.
Folsom was man in whom every one re-
posed the highest confidence and his
habits were of the best.

for San Diego with both the desperadoes
unshackled, one riding on the seat with
him and the other behind him. When an

Conklin struck him over the head and

cut the horses loose and made good their
escape. Since that time Sortello has been
in several scrapes below the line.
