lived at Fort Reno. He had been married
for seventeen years or SO, and leaves a
widow and seven children.
He had been employed on the electric
railroad ever since it started. nearly seven
years ago, and had never net with an ac-
cident. He was quiet and peaceable resi-
dent, and had the esteem and good will Of
all of the white residents of Tenleytown.
When The Star reporter reached the
scene about noon there was crowd OF
colored people around the place, viewing
the remains and talking about the acct
dent. The railroad company was blamed
for having such a connection, while con-
siderable Indignation was expressed be-
cause Squire Claude did not hold an in
quest over the remains, according to the
usual custom.
A Peculiar Condition of Affairs.
The place where the man was killed has a
peculiar connection. It was claimed by
some that regular current is completed
between the trolley wire and the ground
through the medium of the span wire. which
is attached to a live tree. How long the
span wire has been ir place is hard to tell,
but 1t Is wonder that the tree has not
been killed. The voltage of the trolley
wire is not over 500 VOLTS while by many
the number is placed at only $50 volts.
This was not sufficient to electrocute a
person. and it is supposed that the addi-
tional current was supplied to the span
wire from the electric light wire, which
runs. parallel with the trolley. The current
on the electric light wire Is kept turned en-
CT ntinIously. and is estimated to be some
thing like 1000 volts, which Is more than
sufficient to kill an ordinary person. Those
who ought to know state that under no
circumstances was the current Of the troll
ley sufficient to kill healthy person like
Ware.

too cunning 10 proceed this way. Instead,
he demanded an arbitrary action on the
part of the Governor.
Had Smith not got mixed up in the big
prison strike at San Quentin some weeks
ago he would have been granted his free
dom about June l. One of the confiden-
tial agents of the Governor had some time
before Investigated Smiths prison record,
only to find ii as bad as it could possibly
be, and it seemed like tempting fate itself
when the prisoner was found to be one OF
the ringleaders in the iute mill riots. 1t
was this that led the Governor, to pardon
Smith secretly. 1t was known that if the
application was made formally to the
Board of Prison Directors the prisoners s
fate was settled, for Warden Hale and the
prison officials would then be called
upon to give testimony to his character.
Rainey feared such a procedure as this,
although it was the very programme that
Budd favored, in the hope of avoiding the
responsi bility of pardoning the burgar
himself.
In the end Rainey won his point. He
held out the aliurng bait of solid San
Francisco delegation for Budd at the
coming election, otherwise the boss hiuted
Steve White would be glad of the gift.
This was too much for Budd's ambition,
and he thereupon promised the boss that
o. soon as Smith was released from the
Ou lgeOD he WOulu De set Tree, anu he IL as
kept his promise. The order for the par
don was forwarded 10 Warden Hale from
Sacramento yesterday, but it is probable
that the prisoner viii not be actually re-
leased until the return of Warden Hale
from his vacation, which is matter of
very few days.
1nis is the story of Dave Smiths release
from prison after being convicted of one
of the most serious felonies In the calen-
Ior 10 ri
Klamath Springs, and will probably
remain there until the Indignation of the
respectable portion of the community has
blown over. Rainev is taking matters
more philosophicaly. He realizes that
he has the Governor as his servant and is
preparing new draft of favors. There
are several inspectors to be appointed by
the Board of Health shortly and the boss
has prepared the slate. The Governor
will be asked to approve 1t on his return
to Sacramento, and of course the remain
der need not be told.

THE DAVIS Will IS 0. K.
Expert Daniel T. Ames Gives
His Sworn Opinion to
That Effect.
All the characteristics of the Dead
Millionaire's Handwriting in
the Document.

Lawyers in the Jacob q. Davis will con-
test are beginning to talk OF getting
through with the trial in two more weeks,
but Judge Coffey does not appear to take
much stock in the suggestion. He does
not say much to the attorneys, but once
in awhile let's drop a gentle hint that the
sooner the case is ended the better 1t will
suit him. The Jurors are also beginning
to be restive and they are willing 10 sit
every day in order to get through with
their task
Daniel +. Ames, an expert in handwrit-
ing from New York, was the CHIEF witness
for the proponents of the will yesterday.
Mr.. Ames is one of the noted experts OF
the United States. He was called to this
CITY to testify in the Fair estate litigation.
When asked for his opinion OF the Davis
Will Mr.. Ames said he had no hesitation
in declaring it genuine. at IS o. K. In
every respect" He remarked that at first
glance the document seemed to have a
suspicious look, which was probably due
IN measure to the extreme formaiity oil
the writing, but on closer examination the
TACT OF the genuinene>s OF the document
became apparent to him. So fully did the
instrument meet all the requirements OF
the characteristics of Mr.. Davis hand
writing that he was fully convinced 1T
could not have been written by any other
person.
Almost the entire eastern side OF Judge
Coffev's courtroom was covered with en-
larged reproductions OF the exhibits In
the case and Mr.. Ames illustrated his
points with diagrams on the blackboard.
Counsel in the case will ask for day on
each side for presenting the argument TO

HBATLEY'S Other WILL.
The Document Filed in the
Probate Court Yesterday
Afternoon.
Judge Cohey's Recent Decision Calls
Out Second Parliamentary
Document.

Further Implications in the Edward d.
Heatley estate have been precipitated by
the filing of another will. Last Saturday
Judge Coffey rendered a decision that a
paper purporting to be will or a mem
orandum for will by the deceased was
not entitled to be admitted to probate.
Opposition to the recognition OF the
paper was made by Attorney NJ. NJ.
Estee, who called attention to the fact
that it did not meet the requirements of
the code either as Il Photographic docu-
ment or as an attested instrument.
Attorney Paige explained that the pro-
ponents of the paper in court had pre-
sented this document because the other
wills that were found among the effects OF
the deceased were so mutilated that it
was difficult to make out the intention of
the testatur.
Judge Coffey drew the attention OF coun-
sci to the fact that IN the estate of Wilde,
a case heard and determined by Judge
Wright about twenty years ago, will
similarly lnterlined had been admitted to
probate without anv attempt to construe
some of the prov sions with reference to
the erasures. No proof had been offered
to show whether the changes had been
made before or after the execution of the
instrument.
On this hint, the relatives of the de-
ceased yesterday filed the will dated No.
vember 10, $780, 1t is formally drawn,
and is in good shape with the exception
that several paragraphs are modified by
pencil emendations. AS a general thing
the bequesls to relatives are diminished
90 per cent, and some transfers of interest
are attempted.
Although the estate is nominally worth
$50 600, ii is understood that the fling OF
the new will does not materially affect
the interests of the legatees, for the reason
that many large bills have been presented
by creditors OF the estate, and there will
be very little to distribute after the debts
are paid.

A PROGRESSIVE QUARTER.
The German General Benevolent Society
to Erect New Hospital and
Building for Offices.

Bull ding for Omces.
The quarterly meeting of the German
General Benevolent Society was held in
Druids' Hall, Sutter street, last night.
There was large attendance.
The president, in his report, referred 10
the fact that as heavy extra expenses had
been incurred during the past quarter for
a new well. painting and repairing the
hospital and other alterations, amounting
altogether to $3202 80, the board OF direct
ors had been obliged TO draw on the re-
serve fund but that even under these un-
favorable conditions the society's funds
had only been decreased by $1332 80,
which be considered a satisfactory result.
For charitable purposes $223O so had
been expended, and the mum Der OF men,
bers and subscribers had been increased
bv 81, making the total mem bership 334l.
The president concluded with an eIo-
quent appeal to the liberality OF wealthy
Germans for funds required before long
for the erection OF a new hospital so as to
keep up their well-esta blished reputation
among their fellow citizens.
An alteration in the bylaws was made
authorizing the board of directors to en-
ploy two resident physicians instead of
one, as heretofore, owing to the constantly
increasing number of patients.
On motion OF II. Mas the president APP
pointed a committee to consider the ad-
visibility of erecting a suitable building
10 be used as offices of the society, drug
store and laboratory and hall. The COM
mittee, which consists of Charles Z. Han
sen, Carl Uhlig end Edmond Kolofrath,
was authorized to look out for a suitable
lot north of Mission street and east of
Larkin street and report at the next quar-
terlV meeting.

American Steam Vessels Touching at
Foreign Ports Get Drawback.
Deputy Collector Farley received this
morning the following notification from
Collector Jackson:
Referring to the provision in the new tariff
for drawback on bituminous coal used on
American vessels in the foreign trade, etc.,
you will, until further Instructions, be guided
by the regulations OF 1884 on the subject
articles 951 to 957, inclusive.
Tne old law of 1888, allowing drawback
on bituminous coal used by steam vessels
in the foreign trade. applied to all steam
ers. In 1886 it was amended so as to ap-
ply to all American steamers, foreign
steamers having been exempted by mia
take in the first bill. American vessels
ply ing between Pacific Coast ports and
New Y ork are included in the category OF
vessels in the foreign trade. These will
be entitled to drawback equal to the
duty on the foreign coal consumed by
them.

HAD a PLEASANT TIME.
Miss Chinnery Entertained by Her
Friends on Board the Steamer
Aia1neda

On the 17th inst. a very pretty little fete
took place on board the steamship Ala
media, during the run from Sydney, the
occasion being the seventeenth birthday
of Miss Chimney, who Is on a visit to
Miss May Graham, with whom she in
tends spending a few months before re-
turning to Australia by the next Ala
media.
During the afternoon Miss Chimney
gave a very pleasant tea to her friends.
and after dinner a musical evening. A
good programme was got up by H. Davies,
and among the best items were songs by
Mr.. Collision and Mr.. Davies and two reci-
tations by Mrs. Elliot.
Two artists, Messrs. Moosbrugger and
Vannod, kindly gave two songs and a
duet, which were very much appreciated.
After the concert Miss Chinnerv was pre-
sented with little souvenir by her friends
as memento OF her trip to San Francisco.
