COLONEL McNASSER'S ESTATE.
j. w. Hughes Applies for Letters of
Administration.

j. w. Hughes, the well-known law
yer, yesterday filed in the Superior
Court a petition praying that he be ap-
pointed administrator of the estate of
the late Colonel James McNasser, with
the will annexed.
The petitioner reclres that he has been
nominated as such administrator by
Mrs. Minnie Flint, granddaughter of
the deceased, and the only relative re-
siding Within the State. The estate
consists of real property in this city
and farming lands and personal prop
erty in the county, the estimated value
of which is SIT 900.
The will was made in 1889. Since then
one of the grandddughters named
(Maudie McNaSser) and Colonel Nc
Nassers wife have died, the latter
about two years ago.
All the estate is given Qn the WILD to
Mrs. McNasser, who is charged with a
legacy of $4,000 to their daughter,
Mrs. J. w. Donnellan of Salt Lake City,
and $500 each to their (them three
granddaughters - Maudie McNasser
and Mrs. Sibley of Denver and Mrs.
Minnie Flint of Sacramento. Charles
Trainor is named in the will as ex-
ecutor, but he died several years ago.
Under the law, all the property above
the value of S11,50 will be divided
equally between the daughter, Mrs.
Donnellan and the two living grand
daughters.
Mr.. Hughes attorneys are Clinton L.
White, A. NJ. Seymour and J. Frank
Brown.

LATE w. P. JOHNSTON.
His Relatives Say His Death Was
Purely Accidental.

The funeral of the late w. P. John
ston took place yesterday from the
residence of J. A. Wilson, Ala Thir-
teenth street, under the auspices of the
Odd Fellows.
The relatives of the deceased have
been deeply panied by the statements
in the San Francisco papers that he
committed suicide through despond-
ency. They say that Mr.. Johnston had
a good position, and there was no cause
for his committing suicide.
1t is claimed that the gas-burner in
his room was defective, and that the
turning on of the gas-or rather the fall
ure to turn it off-was accidental. De-
ceased was a native Of Pennsylvania,
90 years of age. He leaves a wife and
three children-Mrs. Harriet Johnston,
Presley T., John r. and Belle H. John
Ston.

GOOD PAYERS.
How Sacramentans Keep Their Taxes
Paid Up.

1t is doubtful if there is a city or
county in the State of anything ap-
preaching the population Of Sacra-
mento that can show so small a delin-
gent State and county tax list.
That Of the city, with population Of
some $4,000 and tax-rou Of some
SIT 100000, is only 81, ,S35, and prob
ably two-thirds of this is due to pure
negligence on the part of property
owners.
The tax on the D. o. Mills & Co.'S
National Bank has not been paid, be-
| cause the bank contests it's legality
The sum claimed by the Assessor is
| $14, ,195, but whatever sum the courts
may decide as owing by the bank will
be paid. Hence while the banks as
| sessment appears on the delinquent
roll, it cannot be classed among those
delinquencies that may not be re-
covered.
The sum due on property outside the
city, on taxroll of some $4,000, ,OOO
is only $3.320, scarcely equaling the
value Of one modest country home.
What county can make a better
showing than this?

CALLENDINE TRIAL.
The Jury to Go Out and Inspect the
Car Barn.

The proceedings yesterday in the
Callendine trial were consumed in the
introduction Of evidence in rebuttal of
testimony heretofore given.
The afternoon was passed in trying
to impeach the evidence of Mr. and
Mrs. Barney Carroll by the prosecu-
ton, and the evidence of All Jim by the
defense. About 80 o'clock the attor-
neys announced the case closed, and
Judge Hinkson stated his intention to
send out the jury to the car barn, in
charge Of the Sheriff, to inspect It,
Attorney Hart objected, as he said
he had heard some Of the Sheriff's Off
GERS were prejudiced against the prison
erS.
After some wrangling, the officers
were instructed exactly what to say to
the jurors, and were sworn to obey or
dSrs. The jury will go out at 8 a. m.
to-day.

BASSETTs CANDIDACY.
"nat the MarysvilIe democrat"
Thinks About It..

From the MarysviIle Democrat.)
In advocating Mr.. Bassett's election
10 congress we are guided simply by a
uesire TO put in the best position for
work against the monopoly the best
man we know for that kind of work"
Inc foregoing, token from the San
francisco Report" clearly defines
the position of that journal in matter
OF more than ordinary Importance, and
proves conclusively that its judgment
as an educator of the people will not
Go to rely upon. A member of Con-
gress is sent to Washington to legis-
late for the people of the United States,
MS salary and mileage being paid out of
the general treasury. True he is a
representative of the State and in all
things not inconsistent with his oath
should work for measures which will
directly benefit his constituents. But
the position here taken by the Re
port" is not consistent, nor can it be
maintained by man of honor who has
taken the oath of office required by a
member of Congress. To elect a man
on pledge as here indicated would
place him in position of an obstruc-
zionist who was sent to Congress to
represent fraction only Of the people
who are represented in the question at
issue. We presume the Report" refers
to the Southern Pacific Company,
which controls and manages the Cen
trail Pacific Company, in which all of
the people of the other States are in
tereSted
Bassett may be the best man to send
to Congress to work against the mo-
nopoly, but we would not trust him in
a tight place on any question, as he is
a pronounced crank who is loaded with
anarchistic ideas. He is the same Bas-
sett who last year was nursing a
scheme which cost some person or per-
sons considerable money, but he did
not put 1t up. He organized a com
pany, OF which he was the President on
paper, the pretended object being to
construct a railroad through a part of
Northern California. At one time he
visited Woodland and other towns and
endeaVored to interest the people in his
scheme, that is to subscribe money to
enable him to make a survey. At that
time the Democrat" warned the people
TO not place too much confidence in his
promises. In Humboldt County his
company secured subscriptions to stock
of the proposed road to the amount of
S4OO,OOO, on which five per cent. was
collected to expend in a preliminary
survey The work was not performed
as specified in the agreement, therefore
a suit has been commenced to recover
the money. And this is the man the
Report would send to Congress to
work against the monopoly The man
and his record does not commend him
to any class of people other than the
cranks and anarchists, Of which there
appears to be quite a sprinkling in San
Francisco and Oakland
