AN OPPORTUNITY.

Now is the time for our people
through her Councilmen to make a
wise investment. The plant, as we
understand, can be purchased for
$l7,5O0. Mr.. Harper is willing to
take this price and give the city such
terms as will enable her to meet the
payments by using the annual net
revenue of the plant. In other words,
the plant can be bought ct price and
on such terms that the plant will in
five years pay for itself. We OF
course want the city to pay for the
plant no more than it is worth, but
that it should become the property OF
the city, when the amount now paid
for the street lighting would be net
ear ming to be applied on the purchase
price, and would liquidate it in five
years is clear to us.

Says He Will Retire From Politics
When His Term Expires.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.-In his
address before the Miners Convention
to-day Governor Budd made the an
nouncement that he would not be
candidate for reelection, and that ne
would retire from politics forever when
his term of office expires.
He makes the further statement that
under no circumstances will he be an
opponent of Senator White, If the lat
ter is a candidate to succeed himself.
On the contrary, the Governor asserts
that he would deem it his duty to sup
port White.
The principal reason assigned by the
Governor for his retirement is i'll health.
He has been under the care Of physi-
clans for a long time, and they have
urged him to avoid excitement and
seek rest. The last Legislature grant
ed the Governor a six months leave of
absence, but he says that by reason
of sickness and work he has been un-
able TO go away. He asserts that he
has found the affairs of State very
trying on his health, because of the
numerous duties the Governor of this
State is called upon to perform. He
says that 1.-The acceptance of the cases,
work and worry of another term of
office would be simply suicidal

TRAIN-wRECKER WILLIAMS.
Pleads With the Officials to be Al
loved to Turn States Evidence.

STOCKTON, Oct 19.-Sheriff Cum
ningham and District Attorney Nuuter
sprang a sensation to-day in the trial
of George Williams, the young man
who is accused, with another ex-eonVlct
named George Schlagel, with having
attempted to wreck two trains on the
Southern Pacific between Lathrop ana
Modesto a few months ago.
Williams is a native of this county,
and SchIagel is q young friend OF his
who was in trouble before. Williams
is on trial before his partner, and was
fighting a circumstantial evidence case
which Cunningham and Detective
Thaeker of Wells Fargo have built up
against him.
To-day Cunningham told of the chase
for the fellows and their capture near
Hills Ferry. After Williams had been
in Jail some time he sent for the Sher-
ifr, and wanted to get out Of his
trouble. he said, but the officer advised
him TO send for District Attorney Nut
ter. To him williams said he wanted
to turn States evidence, and tell the
third man in the second attempt, when
they placed a fire on the track and
stopped the passenger train
turn States evidence, and later VIII
liams called in the Sheriff again and
asked him in the presence of Thacker
to try and induce the District Attorney
to accept his offer to confess. He con-
fessed the crime to the two officers,
and pointed out in Cunningham rogue
gallery the picture of the third man
who was in the second attempt, but
not the first.
Thacker told the same story on the
stand, and said Williams wanted tc
turn States evidence, and acknowl-
edged that he and Schlagel We're the
two who piled ties on the track the
first time. a few days before the Sec
ond attempt to wreck the train. On
the second attempt he said there were
three of them.
In addition to this, the people had
strong circumstantial evidence in the
testimony of a young man named
George Cook, who was sleeping with
Williams for time. He told how Will
1ialns proposed to him to go with them
in the train hold-up, and when he re-
fused threatened to kill him if he di-
vulged the story.
The case of the defense was to be ar
alibi, but what viii be the course now
is hard to guess. Witnesses had beer
summoned to prove an alibi, it is said
but the confession took the defense by
surprise, the young man not having
told his attorneys about it.
The trial goes on tomorrow, wher
the defense viii make it's case.
