conviction.
Ryder shot Miss Sallie Emma O ven
with shotgun on the night of April
Is, 1896. He was crazed by his love
for her and while sho was sitting In O
friends parlor talking to q young man
who was rival of Ryder's, the murder
or crept to the door and fired the shot
that killed Miss oven and wounded
her frierd. Ryder's defense claimed
that he was suffering from affections
of both eyes and ears that ut times
rendered him u crazy man and utterly
irresponsible for his actions. The first
trial failed to hang Ryder and the
friends Of the murdered girl have been
chatting at the long delay. The CON
tinuance caused the lynching.

Ono OF the oldest documents OF the

Ono OF the oldest documents OF the
will kind known was that OF Queen
Austrigilda, consort of King Goutran,
Of Burgundy. The dying princess en-
joined upon her husband to slay and
bury in the same grave with her the
physicians who had attended her.
Another will was that of husband
who forbade his wife's marrying on
pain Of his returning to haunt her.
This Is quite different from that of q
woman who instructed her executors
to seek out some nice, good, pretty
girl,' who would make an atfectionate
second wife to her spouse. 1t Is fact
interesting In this connection that the
first Napoleon actually bequeathed
10000 frances to fellow named Can
tillon, who had been tried for attempt.

Wellington.

mcssrs. Thomas and Evans Come to
Blows.
At the meeting OF tho State Railroad
commission, the request Of the rail
roads for an Increase in local rates on
certain commodities was taken no, and
a resolution offered by MIR. Wiiborn
that the request be not granted for the
reason that local rates arc already out
OF proportion to the through Interstate
rates, and which Mr.. Wilborn said tho
roads had the authority to increase or
diminish at their will, was discussed
Commissioner Thomas mado long
speech on the subject, taking occasion
thereln TO reopen the matter OF tho fer
tlliAar rates, and handled the other
members OF the commission pretty
plainly for reducing the rate on fertili
zers, when nothing else was changed
His speech was o long one, full of legal
citations and extracts from the records
OF the board and the Inter-State com.
merce commission. He thought that
tho way the resolution proposed to dis
miss the matter was undign nifiod
After be had finished, Messrs. Eyans
ana Wllborn, 1t seems, were joking
him. In replying to them in the same
manner he said some pretty sharp
things. After q while this led up to n n
remark by Chairman Evans, in which
the term mo gentleman" was used. Mr..
Thomas then fred up, and the remark
was repeated at his request. Mr..
Thomas. it Is said, applied an epithet
to Mr.. Evans, which, in tho language
of the campaigners, was most decided :
ly parliamentary. The result was
that Mr.. Evans picked up paper
weight, as he rose, and MIR. Thomas
rushed at him and struck him once or
twice on tho face, scratching him and
causing a few drops OF blood to appear.
At this juncture MIR. Wilborn and Col.
Duncan interfered and the men were
quieted, nobody being hurt Mr..
Thomas remarked to Mr.. Evans, it ia
stated, that he used the opithet for the
purpose OF causing him to be the ag-
gressor, and really did not hold the
opinion of him he had expressed.
Mr.. WilbOrn at once moved that the
board adjourn, and an ad journn was
taken without acting upon thu matter
In hand.

WRECKED BY A ROCK
Six Cars Piled In . Heap, But Nobody Il
Hurt

DECOTO, Feb. pa little rock wedg-
ed between crossing plank and a rail
caused a train wreck in a cut one mile
west of Midway, between Tracy and
Livermore, this morning, in which an
engine and six cars were derailed and
three men narrowly escaped with their
lives. An extra freight in charge of
Conductor E. Martin and Engineer j.
Meade left West Oakland at $40 a. m
for Tracy, via Livermore, picking up
and setting out several cars on the way.
The train was only running about IS or
20 miles an hour when the obstruction
was encountered. Engineer Meade,
Fireman Seymour and Brakeman
Brown We're on the engine AS soon as
Meade felt the shock he shut off steam
and set his brakes, but the momentum
carried the engine 100 feet along the
ties. 1t then toppled over against the
high bank, while the cars in the rear
were piled up in heap. The bank car
ried the cab away and with it the head
brakeman, Brown. The fireman was
thrown from the cab several feet back,
Meade crawled out of his window. Fire
man Seymour landed on his head in the
bank and rolled almost under the top
pling cars. Brown fell on his fact, but
was uninjured. The engineer kept his
seat and was not injured in the least,
but it is miraculous that all escaped.

Are Entitled to Pay for Time Actually
Served
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23.-The su-
preme court today held that while the
statute fixed the tenure of county Off
GERS under the statute of 1861 for two
years. the officer was entitled to draw
his salary for the actual time he served
more or less than the exact two years.
Henry c. Dillon took the position of
district attorney of Los Angeles county
in 1893, serving for two years The sal
ary was $4,000 per annum. He claimed
that he served for five days more than
two years, and was entitled to salary fol
that time. The auditor of the county
declined to draw his warrant, and upon
suit being brought, the lower court de-
cided for the plaintiff, Dillon.
The appellant contended that the Off
cial was supposed to have taken his seat
on the first Monday after the 1st day of
March, 1S93 and that his term of office
ran monthly from the first Monday after
the 1st day Of the succeeding month,
and not from the first day to the first
day succeeding. The plaintiff and re-
spondent claimed he was entitled to all
the time he served, and received his
salary for calendar months. The court
took this view of the matter and affirmed
the judgment Of the lower court. This
decision affects every county officer who
retired January /, 1895.

TRANSVAAL TROUBLES
VIII Continue Until the Inhabitants Secure
Popular Rights

LONDON, Feb 23.-The committee ap-
pointed by parliament to inquire into
the Transvaal raid resumed its session
in Westminster hall.
DR.. L. S. Jameson, leader of the expe-
dition, appeared for the first time. The
prince of Wales. on entering the hall.
shook hands with Col. Cecil Rhodes. The
latter when the proceedings opened,
was recalled and questioned by Sir Hen
ry Campbell -Bannerman, member of
the late Rosebery cabinet
The only interest awakened in the cross
examination was aroused by a statement
from Col. Rhodes that he did not see
any difference between the cases of
Crete and the Transvaal, except that
the Cretans have the popular sympa thy
of England, are foreigners claiming civil
rights, while with the case of the Trans
vaal it was our countrymen who were
seeking civil rights
Replying to Mr.. Sydney c. Buxton, late
under-secretary of state for the colonies
Col. Rhodes reiterated his statement that
the agitation at Johannesburg would
continue until popular rights were
granted to the inhabitants. 1t was i'm
possible that small minority Of burgh-
ers should govern the majority of new
corners.
Mr.. Rhodes also stated that the charges
imposed by the Transvaal government
upon mining rendered the poor reefs
non-payable.
The witness reverted to the Cretan
trouble and said: "If give arms to the
Cretans, am 1 to be imprisoned for SO do
ing?"
NJ Answering a question of Mr.. Edward
Blake, Irish Nationalist. Col. Rhodes
said: at have been told that l let Jo-
hannesburg in for this trouble, but when
| lock at all the letters and kilograms, l
come to the conclusion that it was rather
Johannesburg that let me in. The Jo-
hannesburgers tried the reform road
prior to a general revolution. They pc
titioned President Kruger whose prom
ises, however, were not kept"
Gel. Rhodes asserted that his deter
mination to proceed to extreme meas
ures was reached in conjunction with
the leaders at johannesburg. 1t was in
tended to change the government. owing
to the hopelessness of obtaining redress
for their grievances.
The session then adjourned until Fri

CO0NEY's CRoOxEDNRss
Now Under Investigation by the San Fran.
cisco Grand Jury

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 23.-The
grand jury now has the criminal charges
against Notary j. J. Cooney under in
vestigation, and the chances are that
four or five indictments will be found
against him.
Altogether there are now three charges
of perjury against Cooney, and evidence
has been taken on but one, but it was a
long and tedious proceeding. The evil
dence, in the opinion of Judge Cook, rem
dered Saturday, when he denied the
motion to dismiss the charge of perjury.
not only tends to show that Cooney COM
mitted perjury when he made the sworn
statement that Fair acknowledged the
execution of Mrs. Craven's pencil deeds
on September 27, 1894, but that he COM
mitted forgery in attaching those ac-
acknowledgements to the deeds
The making of fraudulent acknowl-
edgements to a deed is as much forgery
under the statutes of this state as the
making of fraudulent deeds.
The effects of this will be to compli-
cate the Fair Irrigation still further 1t
is understood that the jury will at once
begin it's investigation and report it's
findings without delay.
