BAYLY PERJURY CASE.
The Charge Against the Sutter-Street
Druggist Dismissed by Judge
Low.

The preliminary examination of Charles
A. Bayly, druggist, sutter street and Grant
avenue, on the charge of perjury, was con-
cluded before Judge Low late yesterday
afternoon.
Bayly was tried before jury in Judge
Campbelrs court for selling morphine to
Mrs. Mary Mcconnell without physl-
clans prescription. Mrs. Mcconnell and
her friend, Mrs. Parker, testified to pur-
chasing 10 cents worth of morphine with
out producing or being asked for pre-
scription. Bayly produced prescription,
signed Morrison, NJ. d." which he swore
was handed to him by Mrs. Mcconnell.
His son corroborated him.
The jury convicted Bayly, and Mrs. Nc
Conneu swore out warrant for his arrest
for perjury in swearing that she gave him
a prescription.
Mrs. Mcconnell and Mrs. Parker again
testified yesterday that Bayly sold the
morphine without a prescription and
Bayly and his son testified to the con-
trary, and the Judge dismissed the case.
Mrs. Mcconnell said that she would
bring the matter before the Grand Jury.

toward the collector. The officers plead in
extenuation, however, that they were in
hopes that if Casassa were given time he
would compromise, and that if he were
arrested all hopes of obtaining any money
from him would be gone.
About ten days ago the defaulting
collector disappeared, but no steps were
taken to locate him. On the 14th inst. a
letter was received from him, written at
Santa Rosa.
He stated that ne was examining his
own books AMI was intending from day to
day to return to this City. Since then
nothing has been heard from him, but 1t is
expected that he will soon be found, as F.
Cavagnaro has sworn out warrant for his
arrest and detectives have been sent to
Santa Rosa to try to discover his where
abouts.
The society will be the loser to the ex-
tent of about $4,000 by Casassa's defalca-
ton, as his bondsmen, Cav. Calegaris and
q. Cuneo, are only liable to the amount OF
$500 each.

the winners. Barney confided to a friend
not many evenings ago that he was $57, 900
ahead of the present California racing
season, booking.
Santa Paula was backed down to 40 to
around post time.
Ed Gaines, who is trying to beat the
horses on the ground and not on the
block, thought one bookie in particular
was trife too hungry for his coin during
the betting on the hurdle race, and, stroll
ing UP to the judges stand, asked the off,
cials if they would keep the telescope
pointed on w. Clancy and Nellie G.. They
did, and when he finished fourth, beaten
out head for the show, told the Jockey
he was suspended. Clancy shed tears. the
stewards probed more thoroughly into the
affair, and, concluding that the Jockey had
done his best, exonerated him from all
blame.
At a meeting of the board of directors of
the Country Club held on Monday it was
decided to start Trix in the distance race
yesterday. He opened in the betting at 8
and went to 5. The geiding did not run
fattering race, and Jockey Cochran's ex-
cuse was that the mud balled UP in his
hoofs, which made him unsteady on his
legs. Beyond a doubt Cochran was con-
stituted by nature to occupy a much more
exalted position than that of an ordinary
racetrack jockey. If he would rent an
office and frame excuses for mem bers of
lodges that through some misfortune miss
the last car and are obligeI to tell their
wives some old, shopworn yarn, he would
command princely income and could re-
tire on his means in very short time If
Trix shows marked Improvement in his
future races. the club may be asked to con-
fine their operations to country fairs in
future.

Senor Domingo A. Pumar on
the Troubles of Vene.
Zuela.
ALL NOW ABOUT SETTLED.
The Senor Says the Wines of Cali.
fornia Would Find Ready Mar.
ket in Venezuela.

Among the arrivals at the Occidental
is Domingo A. Pumar, well-to-do mer-
chant of Caracas, Venezuela, who has been
abroad travelling for some time.
The war in Venezuela made sundry dis.
turbances even in the commercial line
there. Many business men fell into dis
favor with President Crespo, among them
Senor Pumar.
He says now, however, that the war is
practically ended, and the differences be-
ing well on toward settlement, he will
soon go back.
81 wonder that you do not send your ex-
cellent California wine down there" he
said. II have never seen any of it there,
and we get practically all our wines from
France.
"Since l arrived here [ have been struck
with the fine flavor of the different kinds
of wines produced here, and that you
haVent them on sale In Venezuela is more
a mystery with me than ever.
Beyond question our people would buy
these wines If they could get them at any
thing near the price you sell them for here
freight added. l have lately visited
France, Spain, Portugal and other wine
growing countries Of the Old World and
have examined their wines with interest.
These wines l find in California surprise
me by their exceptional quality, as COM
pared with the product of Old World vine-
yards.
"All California wine-growers have to do,
l am satisfied, is to get their wines into
the markets of the different countries.
They will surely sell-at least the best of
your wines willard there will be good
margin for profits, too"
Senor Pumar reached here by way of
Brazil and Chile and the Panama steam
ship line. He says Caracas now has 20, 900
people, while Venezuela as a whole has
100000. The Spanish colony is the
largest, and next come the Germans The
English and Americans are comparatively
light

CLEAR F|ELO PRESENTED
Delmas & Shortridge File Their
Answer to Paterson's Oppo-
sition.
The Fair Will Preliminary Tangle
Being Rapidly Strengthened Out
for the Final Contest.

Delmas & Shortridge yesterday fled
their answer to the opposition of Van R.
Paterson to the probate of the will OF
James G. Fair, dated the 2lst OF Septem-
Der. The answer is designed to clear the
way for Mr.. Paterson to make the contest
which he claims to so much desire. 1t ad-
mits every statement in Mr.. Paterson's
opposition that is essential to contest.
1t admits that Mr.. Paterson was appointed
to represent the minor children having a
possible interest in the estate, and that he
was afterward appointed to guard their
interests in the matter of the probate of
the will of the 24th; it admits that
James G. Fair left a will dated
the 21st of September, 1894, but it denies
that that will is the last will and testament
of the deceased; the allegation that the
deceased left no will later than the Dist is
expressly denied. 1t Is also denied that
Fair repubIished the will OF the Dist by a
writing dated November 26, 1894.
Mr.. Paterson's standing being acknowl-
edged in every way, and only the questions
at issue being denied, there is presented a
clear contest as to the validity of the will
or wills.
There are not many moves possible now
short of the open battle in court, and that
may be counted now as reasonably near
at hand.

GRAND ARMY.
Headquarters Transferred to Santa Cruz.
Investigating Committee Report.

Headquarters Transferred to Santa Cruz.
Investigating Committee Report.
Department headquarters of the Grand
Army of the Republic were transferred to
Santa Cruz yesterday and some of the ad-
vance guard of delegates left the City on
the afternoon trains. The main body of
veterans will leave for Santa Cruz this
morning,
1t is ascertained that Judge Buckles of
Solano, Judge Walling of Nevada, Judge
Crawford of Sonoma w. HI. Pratt of San
Francisco, and w. G. Hawley of San Jose,
who were appointed to hear and Judge of
the testimony relating to charges of mis-
management of the Veterans Home, have
submitted to Department Commander
Wilson report vindicating the board OF
directors.
The report finds that none of the charges
made by Lyon Post and General Thomp-
son have been sustained.
AT meeting of George II. Thomas Post
last evening Charles H. Blinn, quarter
master, read an interesting paper entitled
''Light and Shadows in the Life of a
Prisoner of War" The narrator described
his own capture in the Shenandoah Valley
in April, 1862, and his experience in prison
at Lynchburg and Belle Isle. The narra-
tion was spirited and animated through
out.
Mr.. Blinn received vote of thanks from
the post and many individual congratula-
tlOns.

De1igh tfuI BIundering,

A little boy in the course of his reading
lesson came to the word widow" and
called it window" a word more familiar
to him. The teacher, who was acting as
examiner, corrected the blunder, and then
wishing to improve the occasion put the
question, "What is the difference between
widow and 'window'?' The boys an
swer began. "You can see through win
dow, but" and then stopped. The amuse-
ment plainly visible on the teachers face
prevented the miniature Sam weller from
completing the contrast.
Now; the blunder here, so far as it was
blunder, was entirely due to the teacher
He did not mean to impress on his pupils
the transparency of window as contrasted
with widow, but the difference in spelling
between the two words.-Blackwood s
Magazine.

pants IN the proceedings before the COM
mission, which atfidavits form part of
the record in this case. Now | would like
TO know the ideas of my learned friends of
the other side IN regard to this point"
II 1t please the court" answered Mr..
Garoer, = consider that the Railway Com
mission is not judicial in the sense of
being court, though its acts must be in
certain sense judicial"
What reason is there in these distin c.
tlonsP" asked Mr.. Hayne with some
warmth. "Such limitations merely OBJ
scure the question at ISSUE If the COM
mission be a legislative tribunal in a GER
tain sense. and judicial tribunal in a
certain other sense, and still another sort
OF tribunal IN yet another sense, where
IN goodness' name are we at2 Do not
these certain and uncertain senses ac-
cording to which the Railway Commission
may or may not be judicial or otherwise,
confuse the whole matter and set US all at
sea? l am still in the dark as to what my
learned brethren OF the other side are
driving at. 1t seems to me that the COM
mission should be recognized as legisla-
tive body, and its enactments, in the
province assigned to it, be held to have the
force of law.
Il have always contended," proceeded
Mr.. Hayne, that in this case the
granaries only are involved. The Railway
Commission is branch of the State gov
ernment Thus far all it has done has
been to fx grain rates. No final action
can be taken except by service and publi-
cation of schedule. This has not yet
been done as to anything save the grain
rates. The Commissioners have already
come forward and sworn that they will
take no further action as to other re-
ductions until they shall have made fur
| ther inquiries and investigations. 1, as
counsel of the Commissioners, am not
going to advise them to enforce that par
ticular resolution, but rather to make up a
proper schedule. The respect due to a
branch of the State government ought to
induce the court to believe the Commits
sioners, and not visit an indignity upon
them by laying an injunction on them,
after what they have said"
Mr.. Hayne concluded the days INSTALL
ment of his argument by citing figures in
