Charged With Violating the Internal
Revenue Laws.
Spilled a Quantity Of Brandy in Bond for
Transit to Europe.
A Carefully Laid Plan of Phil Col
1um, Convicted of Burning the
Woodland Wooden Mills, to Es
cape From the Woodland Jail,
Thwarted by the Officers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-Food In
spector Dockery appeared before Com
missioner Heacock to-day for examina-
ton on the charge of having violated
the internal revenue laws by spilling a
quantity of brandy which had been
manufactured by a local firm, while it
was in bond for transit across the con-
tinent for export to Europe in May
last
The case attracted unusual interest
on account of the fact that the alleged
brandy had been condemned by the
local Board of Health as adulterated
and that Naval Officer Irish had re-
fused to countersgn the customs GER
titicate upon the ground that it was
labelled pure California brandy" when
in fact it was adulterated.
EX-Deputy Collector Tobin testified
to the effect that on May Goth he
wrote to Collector Wise that he had
discovered that eighty-five barrels Of
spirits and fifteen barrels of brandy
had been manufactured into 100 bar
rels OF liquor labeled as above, and
that he had found upon investigation
that it contained 800 gallons of spirits
to 81 gallons of brandy, 300 gallons of
water, 1872 gallons of syrup and some
coloring matter and burnt sugar. He
was, however instructed by Collector
Wise to waive the Naval Officers coun-
tersign, and allow the stuff to be ship
ped, and was authorized to change the
brand SO as to read California brandy.
A number of witnesses swore to hav-
ing seen Dockery enter a freight car in
which the barrels were loaded, and af-
ter boring holes in three of the casks,
split the liquor out of them. The cars
were open and unsealed.

A F1END TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
Captured by Two Private Citizens
After a Fierce Fight.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-After more
than a week of searching by the po-
lice, James Carr, a young white man.
who assaulted little Rosie Robinson
an eleven-year-old white girl, was to-
day captured by private citizens. The
case has attracted much more than
ordinary attention here, on account OF
the laxity of the police in arresting
Carr.
Carr was located last hight in the
attic of a house within a few squares
of the house where his crime was per-
petrated, and where the police have
looked for him three different times
When discovered he was chased by a
crowd of citizens, but made his es-
cape, assaulting a woman and knock
ing down man. and getting away be-
fore the police arrived
Carr was not discovered again till
early this morning, when he sneaked
out of the stable, where he had been
hiding, and went to the house of a
man named Fowler, whom he knew,
and begged for a woman's dress in
which to disguise himself.
Fowler told him to go back to the
stable and hide till the dress could be
gotten. When Carr was gone Fowler
sent out an alarm, and going to the
stable in company with a muscular
cabman, the two overpowered Carr, af
ter a fierce fight, and turned him over
to the police.
The methods of the police in this case
have aroused the District Commission
ers to a thorough investigation of the
Police Department, and a sensation is

MUST SUPPORT HER HUSBAND.
Decision of the Lower Court in the
Livingstone Case Confirmed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-The Su-
preme Court decided to-day for the first
time in this State the question of the
liability of a wife to support her hus-
band
Mary A Livingstone of Los Angeles
is 20 years of age, and her husband,
Samuel W. Livingstone, is older. The
latter was too infirm to support him
self, and his wife, possessing consider
able separate property, was ordered by
the Superior Court, as a result of her
husbands suit for maintenance. to pay
Samuel S24 per month. The day this
order was made the wife decided all
her property to her daughter, and then
failing to comply with the courts or
der, was imprisoned for contempt until
the amount should be paid
The Supreme Court, after reviewing
the matter, affirmed the decision.

WHEAT TAKES A TUMBLE.
PRICES DECLINE ON WEAKER
FOREIGN MARKETS.
Bears Have Their Own Way at
New York, Hammering Prices
Off More Than Cents.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-The foreign
wheat markets at the opening sent
cablegrams somewhat of tired feeling
amongst them after their late exhaust
ing climb. AS a consequence, there was
a drop at the opening from 11sc to Ice
in September wheat. Although the buy
ing against puts was heavy, it did not
prevent it dropping another 1 cent per
bushel to 76c, or 215c below the closing
price of the day before in about forty
five minutes from the opening. Liver
pool noted a decline of I'D per Genital
before trading began here, and Berlin
reported a drop equal to 215 cents per
bushel.
But very few of yesterdays cabled Of
fers had been accepted, and but for the
taking of five boat loads of No. spring
for Antwerp that had been offered by a
Chicago house, no foreign acceptances
could be heard of here. Pyramid build
ers had to stand aside and see their top
heavy erections topple over with the
Earring of the weak cables. The selling
out yesterday of the leading line of long
wheat in this market had much to do
with the collapse this morning.
The decline here brought into play a
host of resting orders for cash wheat,
both here and at the sea-board. New
York reported sales for export up to Il
o o'clock of about eighty-five boat loads.
Although exporters in Chicago said they
could sell very little by making direct
offers to Europe, they We're during the
forenoon inundated with bids for No. :
spring wheat, and while they disposed
of several hundred thousand bushels on
bids of that kind, it was as nothing as
to have the quantity wanted. One and
three-quarter cents over September was
paid for the least desirable of the No.
2 spring in store, and 2Ac for the prem
ium for in some favorite houses.
Chicago receipts were 149 cars,
against 151 a year ago. OF to-day s
receipts seventeen cars were new
spring. The quantity inspected out of
store was 1S1 900 bushels. Minneapolis
and Duluth got 241 cars. against 321 on
the corresponding day of 1896. The to-
tai received at Western primary mar
kets was 500, 900 bushels, against o66,-
600 bushels a year ago. Exports from
the sea-board We're equal in wheat and
-four to 305 900 bushels. Closing cables
reported Id lower than it closed yester-
day.
Paris was somewhat higher for flour,
and unchanged for wheat
MARKET AT NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-The bears had
a chance at the wheat market to-day
and employed their opportunity by
hammering prices off more than 3 cents.
But confidence was badly shaken by
sharp declines in the liverpool and Ber-
lin markets, accompanied by liberal
selling orders for foreign account At
one time during the day there was
cent rally on renewed rumors of large
export business, but a wave of selling
orders soon wiped it out and left prices
lower than before. Speculation was
very active at the start, and spasmod-

PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX.
The Law May Have to be Amended
Before Amy Can be Collected.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 5.-Should
the Supreme Court decide the personal
tax collecting provisions of the revenue
laws unconstitutional, as it is rumor-
ed it will do, a number of corporations
and persons who have been paying
their taxes on personal property unse-
cured by real estate, under protest will
be in a position to demand a return of
their money.
The Mutual Savings Bank, of which
Mayor Phelan is President, is one of
the corporations that took the precau-
ton to file d formal protest when its
taxes We're paid to the Assessor.
Unless the city officials who are most
familiar with the law are much mis-
taken regarding the situation, the deci-
sion anticipated from the Supreme
Court Will make the calling of an eX-
ira session of the Legislature impera-
tive Unless the law be so amended
before March of next year, so as to au-
thoriZe the Tax Collectors to collect the
taxes on personal property unsecured
by real estate, none can be collected.
The old law under which the collections
We're made has been repealed, and there
is nothing for the Tax Collectors to
fall back upon.

damus suit was brought against Coun-

a marriage license to a couple, one
of whom had not been divorced year,

marriage of divorced persons inside a

Superior Judge Dorm to-day gave
judgment in favor of the petitioner and
against the County Clerk. In rendering
the judgment his honor said the law
could not take away a right already
possessed by the petitioner. and that
the law could not be construed to act
retroactively, and that the intention of
the lawmakers evidently was not to
prevent marriage, but to discourage di-

THE NAVAHOE WON.
Defeats the Vigi1ant in an Inter-
esting Race.

NEWPORT Or. u, Aug 5.-Royal
Phelps Carrolrs yacht Navahoe won
the Goelet cup for sloOps to-day by
defeating Percy c.. Hublis' Vigilant in
not only the most interesting race ever
sailed for one of these emblems but
which was probably the finest contest
ever sailed between the big sloops in
American water. The Colonia took the
schooner up but as the Emerald, the
only other entry in this class, failed to
come out Vice Commodore Postley
went over the course in the most lone
some manner. The weather, though a
cold northeast drizZle at the start, inn
proved all the afternoon, and the fin
ish was made in a cracking breeze. The
wind throughout the race was steady,
and there was no complaint of flukes.
The Vigilant led at the start, but the
NavahOe turned the first mark ahead.
and kept her lead until within three
miles of the finish, when the Vigilant
passed her. Only twenty-five feet
seemed to separate the boats as they
rushed across the line, which was not
enough to save the Vigilant the race,
and the Navahoe won by four minutes
and twenty-seven seconds, corrected
time.
The course was the old one to Block
Island, with long leg to West Island
and a short reach to the finish, dis
lance of thirty-eight miles, and the
boats made it in little over four hours.
Rounding the second mark, the Wig
liant was thirty seconds behind Nav
ahoe Then began one of the most ex-
citing finishes seen for many a day.
With only the lghtship six miles
away, the Vigilant started to get by
the Navahoe and make up the five
minutes necessary to win. She did the
former, but fell short of the latter.
Such a sight as the finish of these two
boats has never been seen in these wa
tiers, for both carried a cloud of can
vas 1t was a grand race without
the enthusiasm. The Vigilant allowed
Navahoe three minutes and thirty sec
onds. The Navahoe won by one min
ute and one second actual. and four
minutes and tweny-one seconds cor
rected time.
