The scientists are daily discover
ing some new microbe, bacteria or
pest of some kind. The latest noted
is that of Mr.. 6. w. Shaw, of the
Oregon experiment station, of but
ter fungus. The butter turns blue
OF black, and is affected with a regu
lar butter mold (no joke). Mr..
Shaw is confident he has discovered
new and genuine butter disease, and
that the mold on the samples exam
ined was not due to age or hamilton.
1t would be nothing short of a ma
tional calamity if butter is to acquire
any more wbacks than it has.

James L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago.
says: "I regard DIR. Kings New Dis
covery as an Ideal Panacea for coughs,
colds and Lung Complaints, having used
it in my family for the last five years

SPANISH THREATS.

Senior Canovas, the great Spanish
secretary, talks in an extremely
bOisterous manner, about thrashing
the United States whenever the
handful of Cubans whale Weyler.
The last dispatches show that Wey-
Ter must have been worse whipped
than usual, since Canovas is extraor.
dinarily angry. He blames the
United States for the whole war, and
says elf Spain loses Cuba the United
States will have to pay every cent IL
is worth" It does not seem to
strike Canoyas that the 7O,OOO,OO0
people in this country are not going
to get badly frightened at threat
of war with a government that can
not subdue few thousand of its
own people.
With 100000 troops in the field
against possibly $4,000 and whal-
lng the, result of every conflict, the
calculation as to what Spain would
do with this country becomes ques-
ton of mathematics Of microscopical
Importance. If this government did
not patrol the ocean in the interest
of Spain, she would have lost Cuba
long ago, and it is not becoming in
Canovas TO be making threats against
us. If Spain ever attacks Uncle
Sam and he finds it out, the old man
will be mad-sure.

RAILROAD ISSUES MEDALS.
Southern Pacific Inaugurates a Novel |
System for Efficient Services.

Southern Pacific Inaugurates s. Novel
System for Efficient Services.
The Southern Pacific Company issued
seven gold and thirty-five silver medals
Tuesday to employees on the Pacific divi-
sion OF the railroad for meritorious per-
formance of duty in maintaining excep-
tionally good stretches of road bed and
track in different sections.
The medals are heavy and plain, but
neatly designed, and are of one size, differ
ing only in the metal used and in the
inscriptions upon the reverse sides of the
medal and the har. Upon the front of the
bar is the date 1895. The diverse side has
the familiar trademark of the company,
made up of the words "Soutaern Pacific
Company" forming a ring about bit of
railroad track that vanishes into setting
ssua.
This medal system has been in use by
the company for about five years on its
lines east of El Paso, but this is the first
time it has been introduced here. The
company declares that it is prolific of the
most happy results, and is conducive 10
friendly competition, while ut the same
time really very deserving men get credit
for efficient servics
Following is tie list of men receiving
medals:

SUPERVISORS RESPOND,
They Give an Official History
of a Wharf Fran
chise.
Struggle in Contra Costa County Over
a Privilege Which Two
Par ties Wanted.

A return to the writ of mandate issued
by the Supreme Court October 8 in the
matter of Robert G. Dean against the
Board OF Supervisors of Contra Costa
County has been made by NJ. B. Ivory,
chairman OF the board, and f. L. Glass,
County Clerk. The return recites the pro-
ceedings connected with the granting of a
wharf franchise to Seward B. McNear.
McNear petitioned the Supervisors OF
Contra Costa County for authority to con-
strnct wharf near the wharf franchise
granted to the California VIII arf Com
pany, the application being made last
July. The notice was published and
posted. according to the atfidavits of
County Clerk Glass and Alfred Dalton of
the Contra Costa News. r. G. Dean also
petitioned for authority to construct a
wharf and named substantially the same
location as McNear. His petition was
filed July 6, 1896. but was pre- pared before
notary, William S. Wells, three days
earlier. The notice OF Deans petition
was duly published, according to the same
denonents.
Dean appeared by counsel before the
Contra Costa Board of Supervisors July 6,
and so did McNear by counsel. From
then on the Supervisors considered the
rival petitions until October 6, at 10 A. NJ,
when it was voted to 2, 10 give the
franchise to McNear, and Deans petition
was denied. Supervisors Rumriil, Hemme
and Schneider voted in favor OF giving
the franchise to McNear and Supervisors
Majors and Ivory voted in the negative.
Then Dean brought the matter into the
Supreme Court and the fight is still on.

TOO MUCH MAIL.

Postmaster McCoppin Will Ask for
Extra Help. to Handle. 1t.
The main Postoffice as we'll as the out
side stations are literally crowded to death
with mail matter. For the first time in
the history of the local Office it has been
found necessary 10 ask the DEPARTMENT
at Washington for extra help. Secretary
Richardson said yesterday that the car
riers ordinarily making from three to five
trips per day found it impossible now to
make over two or three. 1t is estimated
by Superintendent of City Mails Mea.s
that over 100000 extra pieces of mail
matter will be handled between this date
and November B. Tomorrow the Demo-
cratic State Central Com mittee will send
out 200 circular letters and the Republic
cans $4,000. The Non-Partisans expect to
drop into the mails at the same lime no
less than 10000 pieces. In order to insure
prompt delivery of these letters and PAM
phlets Postmaster McCoppin yesterday
requested the department at Washington
to employ twenty extra carriers. This
number will be sworn in this morning at
8 o'clock.

SUPERVISION OF ROADS,
Railway Commissioners Dis
cuss Some Proposed
Laws.
Would Like to Correct Abuses for
the Safety of the
Public.

Owing to the absence of Mr.. Clarke the
Railroad Commissioners did not hold
their usual monthly session yesterday.
Commissioners La Rue and Stanton were
present
The object of the meeting was to take
action in the case of the delay on the
ing in its annual report to the commits
sion. When the meeting was called the
Com missioners thought that the railroad
company would not make a report, but on
the contrary treat it with contempt. Yes
terday, however, when Messrs La Rue
and Stanton met they found the report
upon the table, and for that reason they
concluded to hold no meeting.
Il an informal way the two Com misson-
ers discussed proposed suggestions to the
State Legislature regarding railway laws.
They were in favor of extending the pow-
ers and Jurisdiction of the commission so
as to include general supervision of rail-
way affairs.
The proposition is 10 present a law to
the Legislature similar to that enforced in
Kansas, compelling all railways to make
their annual reports on a certain day or to
suffer a penalty of 500 for each day be-
yond the specified date until the report is
submitted.
Another law was given serious consid-
Grafton, and that is provision for giving
the board power to compel railway COM
panles in California to make improve
ments along the different roads wherever
such alterations ale thought necessary
This would include placing of switches at
points that might be deemed proper for
them. ana in general way to make i'm
provements where the road might be in a
dangerous condition, and, consequently, a
menace to the public travelling over the
line. Another section was discussed with
regard to gates at all railway crossings for
protection of the public. This was re-
garded as an important measure, and re-
csived favorable consideration.
The State Board of Railroad Commits
sioners wants general supervision of all
railways in California, and this meeting
was only the beginning of a movement
looking toward that end. The board will
meet next week TO arrange its report to
the Governor, in which it was delayed bv
the Southern Pacific's failure to send in a
report for the past year. The suggestions
about proposed laws will be mentioned 10
the Governor.
At present the commission has control
over rates only. and even that is doubtful,
so an effort will be made to fino its exact
status; and also to get laws passed ex-
tending the commission powers and
superv iSiOn.

MONEY EASILY EARNED.
George Crocker Stayed Sober Five
Years for 100000.

George Crocker Stayed Sober Five
Years for S5OO,OOO.
George Crocker has reaped his reward.
Having stayed sober five years at $100, 1000
a year he has been awarded the half mil
lion dollars promised him by his father
should he successfully accomplish that
task. Judge Daingerfield Tuesday de-
cided that Mr. Crocker had fulfilled all
the obligations imposed on him and or
dered Charles f. Crocker and William H.
Crocker, trustees of the fund, to turn it
over to the beneficiary.
The history of the case is peculiar.
Charles .Crocker, father of George, Charles
T. and William III. CIocker, in making
his will failed to bequeath a portion of his
property to his son George, who was given
to overindulgence in intoxicants. In
stead, he placed 490 bonds of the Southern
Pacific Company in the hands of the other
two sons in trust for George, with the pro-
viso that if within fifteen wears, after the
death of the founder of the fund George
CTocker should stav sober for five consec-
utlve years the principal should be turned
over to him.
If however, he failed to abstain from
overindulgence the bonds were to be dis
tributed among certain grandchildren of
Charles Crocker.
September % last George Crocker ap-
piled for the bonds, alleging he had been
sober for five years from September %.
1891. His brother, however, did not care
TO take the responsibility of deciding
whether or not this was so and therefore
brought suit asking the Superior Court 10
determine the matter.
Judge Daingertieid in his findings, de-
clares that George Crocker has not only
not been intoxicated during his period of
probation, but that he totally abstained
from the use OF all spirituous wines and
malt liquors during that period.

LAUMBIsTER IS VERY QUIET.

In municipal affairs the greatest interest
issmanifested in the fight for the Mayor

1t is conceded by the best informed men
of all parties that Colonel C. L. Taylor,
the regular Republican nominee, is far
ahead of his opponents in the fight for
that honorable position, and that the best
'anv other nominee can hope for is to
secure second place in the race.
The friends of the various candidates,
however: are not conceding away the
enanGes of their favorites, and aside from
Colonel Taylor, whose canvass is going
steadily forward with a strength that
seems to be absolutely irresistible, the
others are oscillating forth and backin the
public estimation and in the scale OF
chances for success.
For instance, it may be regarded as in
disputable that ten days or even week
ago james D. Phelan, nominee of the
Junta Democracy, was far ahead of all
the nominees except Colonel Taylor.
Yesterday the situation was changed, for
Joseph L Dimond, who was nominated by
