FAY CONVICTED.
Another Term for the Assailant of
Fred Townsend.

Quite a crowd of spectators assem-
bled in Judge Henry's court yesterday
to listen to the proceedings in the case
of Fred Townsend against Dan Fay.
Several days ago Fay, who is an in
mate of the County Jail, struck Town
send a powerful blow between the eyes
and used threatening language. Town
send was called to the stand and stated
that he was dong some fresco work on
the WALL using a chair on which to
keep his paint and materials. Fay came
UP and demanded the chair for shaving
purposes and got mad because Town
send told him to wait for a few min
utes.
According to his testimony Fay
Jerked the chair away forcibiy, and as
Townsend was trying to save the paint
Fay struck him a powerful blow be-
tween the eyes, and he was dazed from
the effects of it.
Several witnesses testified that they
We're present when the trouble hap
pened, and they made it appear that
Townsend had been the one to strike
the first blow
Deputy District Attorney Jones, in
addressing the court for the people,
called attention to the fact that all the
witnesses for the defense We're united
in fraternal feeling against anybody
who had been of assistance to the pros
ecution, as Townsend had in the CAL
lendine case. There is, he said, bond
Of sympathy among criminals that i'm
nels them to stand together in defense
of one another.
H. L. Buckley defended Fay and
made as strong an argument in his
behalf as the circumstances would per-
NIT.
Judge Henry, in summing up the
case, said that although testimony had
been introduced by witnesses for the
defense to show that Townsend had
been the aggressor, yet after carefully
weighing all the testimony he felt in
clned to believe Tcwnsend's story
and would find the defendant guilty
He was told to appear for sentence on
Saturday next.
Fay has also a charge of iail-break-
ing pending over his head, and it may
be some time before he will once more
sample the different grades of Chinese
gin, his favorite beverage

CRUSHED ROCK CONTRACTS.
Material Must be Paid for Before II is
Shipped.
A Plan to Overcome the Difficulty
in Which the City is
Placed

The State rock-crushing plant at Fol-
som is running in fun blast, and apropos
to this statement is the fact that at the
time the erection of the plant was under
consideration the City Board of Trus-
tees, by resolution, declared that the city
would purchase 900 tons of rock to be
used for macadamizing the streets. after
such time as the plant would be in active
operation
But the law passed by the last Legis-
lature authorizing the erection of the
plant also provided that no rock should
leave the bunkers unless it had first been
paid for, and this is the ehasm which
has not yet been bridged. The city will
not-very justly, too-pay for an article
until it has been delivered and the State
cannot deliver the rock unless it had
been paid for
So it happens that a number of gen
tlemen in the city who are interested in
improvements in general, and of streets
IN particular, have been quietly at work
trying to devise scheme which would
obviate the difficulty by bridging the
chasm and allowing the city to go on
with street Improvement in the ma
cadam line.
a very simple one, and consists merely of
a number of private individuals advanc-
ing the necessary $3.50 to pay for the
rock and accepting payment from the
city after the material shall have been
delivered. The gentlemen who origi-
mated the scheme are inclined to the be-
lief that a still better plan would be to
lay the matter before the Chamber Of
af tlan 1rapn IF
directors, and request that body to ad
vance the necessary funds for the pur-
chase of the macadam, provided the city
will agree to return to it the purchase
price upon the delivery of the rock.
While the directors of the Chamber of
Commerce have not been approached in
the matter, it is believed that once they
comprehend the fnsignifcance of the
outlay and the comparatively vast i'm
provement which will accrue therefrom,
they will willingly advance the neces-
sary $3.50, provided the City Board Of
Trustees approve of the plan.
President Leonard of the Board of
Trustees was asked yesterday regard
ing the matter, and he said that while
the city had only verbally agreed to
purchase 600 tons of macadam, he did
not doubt but that it would take the
whole amount if it could be delivered be-
fore being paid for-provided only that
there was money enough in the street
fund to meet the expense.
AS the amount necessary is so small,
1t is believed that if a committee of citi-
zens, or of the Chamber of Commerce,
lays the matter before the board it will
meet with the approval Of that body, and
it is asserted that the Chamber of Com
merce will be requested to take such ac-
ton at an early date.

New York.
In March, 1891, they agreed with
Captain Geysler that he command an
expedition fitted by them, and to per-
NIT him to take one-ffth of the buried
treasure if located by their charts. The
expedition proved unsuccessful, and
then they wanted Geysler to permit
them to operate on the charts owned by
him and Jacob Simon of this city. This
he refused to do and he parted company
with the Fasteners.
Since then Geysler has not departed
from the island, so the story of the fnd:
ing of $50 900, 900, by means of the
charts of the Bostonians, is O correct.
Since then he obtained on April 30,
1893, a concession from the Costa Rican
government to farm the island and
colonize it, he receiving half the land
on the treasure island. He and Jacot
Simon are now carrying out their agree
ment with the Costa Rican governments
and there is little likelihood Of thei,
