Important Ruling Affecting County Clerks
Fees-0mcer Accused of Rob-
bIHq Chinese

SAN JOSE, CAL, Feb. 5.-An important
ruling was made by Judge Lorigan this
morning in regard to the cost of filing
second appraisement OF the estate of de-
ceased person, the court holding that only
the usual filing fee of Is cents can be COL
lected. The case before the court was the
application of John E. Auzerais, admin
istrator of the estate of Edouard A. Au-
zerais, deceased, for writ of mandate to
ompel County Clerk Pister to file Sec
ond inventory of the estate for the usual
filing fee.
E. L. Auzerais, who was formerly exec
utor of the K. A. Auzerais estate, filed an
appraisement, paying the County Clerk
$691. The executor died, and John E.
Auzerais was appointed executor. 1t was
necessary to file a second appraisement.
but the County Clerk refused to receive
the appraisement unless 1866 in fees was
paid. The AuZerais estate is valued at
over 5000, 00G.
In deciding the question Judge Lorigan
said that the Legislature had fixed the
means of raising revenues in the admins
tration of estates on the line of taxation
of inheritances, and in fixing fee of 50
for the first $1,000 and 81 for each addi-
tional $1,000 valuation upon the filing of
an inventory it was the evident intent to
fix that rate for the purpose of compen-
sating public officials for all services rem
dered in connection with the administra-.
ton of the estate ana that when once the
fee had been paid it could not be COL
lected again.

CONFEDERATION At CARSON.
Explosion of Gasoline in the State Print
ing 0mce Starts a Disastrous
R{0ze

CARSON, New, Feb. 5.-An explosion in
the State Printing Office this morning
nearly wrecked the interior OF the build
ing and caused cessation of work for sew
eral days.
The explosion occurred in what is known
as the carbonator of the engine. Instantly
the interior OF the pressroom was sheet
OF fame. The oil ignited and spread over
the walls and ceiling and the liquid fire
seemed TO go into every conceivable place.
The Iorce of the explosion sent the doors
and windows outward and the heat warped
and melted the type that was uppermost
in some of the cases in the composing
room.
The flames adhered to the dges OF the
bundles OF fine paper stored 1.-The pres
room, and everything of that nature was
charred. The carbonator was a wreck,
and also the electric apparatus which sup
piled the spark for yhe engine.
The engine was Dadly in jured. The
rollers of the presses were melted so as to
be useless, but the presses did not seem to
be seriously injured.
for few moments was almost suffocat-
ing, and but for the fact that the doors
and windows were blown out the printers
would have been asphyxiated.
All made wild plunge for the shortest
way out, and for a while the greatest con-
fusion prevailed. James Huling, who was
near the engine, had his hands badly
bur ned, but is not otherwise injured.

HALLEJG'S HOME FOR ORPHANS.
CrouadIess Report That the Good Tenn
pfars We're About TO Close
fhe Refreot

VALLEJO, Call, Feb. 5.-A long COM
munieation appeared in local paper yes
terday. commenting in derogatory terms
on the management of the Good Tenn
plars' Home for Orphans, and intimating
that owing to mismanagement the home
was likely TO be abandoned for the want
OF sufnclent aid to carry it on.
AS nearly as can be learned, neither the
trustees of the home nor the Good Tenn
plars have ever entertained the idea OF
closing the retreat. While funds are not
as plentiful as they have been in times
past, the management is living within its
income, and intends so to remain. Ger
tain repairs are needed, but it is not the
desire or aim OF the trustees to incur ad-
oitlonal Indebtedness. Plans have been
talked over at various times as to the best
means of raising funds in addition to the
sum gwen by the State and various lodges
to carry on the work.
There is no doubt that during the COM
ing year some plan will be devised to raise
money aud to bring the home into more
prominence, go that the liberal people of
the State will make such provisions for en-
dowments as will enable the Good Tenn
plars to add to the good they are accom-
plishing.

SAcRAMERT0'S SENSATION.
Roundabout Charges of Fraud Against
County Officials Denied by Their
Supposed Author.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 5.-Wiiliam
Curtis, Supervisor of Sacramento County,
has openly asserted, it is claimed, that
George II, Clark, Coroner OF Sacramento
County, had informed him that it had cost
him (Clark) $500 to procure the appoint
ment TO fill the unexpired term of Coroner,
made vacant by the death of the former
incum bent, and that this money had been
paid to the members of the Board of
Supervisors.
This statement was brought FORTH it is
said, in fit of pioue because the other
members of the board had seen tit to
differ with Curtis as to certain ooun-
daries of an outlying school district,
and was in answer 10 jest on the subject
of alleged bribery OF certain members of
the board, as published some time ago in
the Sunday News.
This alleged charge against Clark, who
is one of The best-known and most popu-
lar young men in Sacramento City and
County, has caused furore of excite
ment. When interviewed on the subject
Clark said:
"Why, never told Mr.. Curtis such
thing IN my life; l never made such
statement to any person. l did not pay
any person any money!
Ex-Supervisor Todd, who, it is claimed,
is charged with receiving this $500, said:
There is absolutely not one word of
truth in this assertion OF Supervisor
Curtis as far as | am concerned, and l can
account for his making any such state
ment if he has done so, only by saying
that fear he has become mentally inca
pacitated. While Supervisor of Sacramento
County l favored many persons in pro-
curing positions, but | can truthfuliy de-
clare that l was never the recipient of
cent from any of them, and am positive
that every person who was appointed by
our board will so declare on OATH"

SEEN on THE YUMA DESERT.
Architect Missing from Los Angeles Found
Jcuneying Across the Dreary

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Feb. 5.-Preston
& Mckenzie, architects, with an office in
the Edgar block on Broadway, have dis
solved partnership in most unusual
manner.
About the middle OF January last the
partners, happening to meet upon the
street. stopped and chatted upon some
matters of business.
Mckenzie, turning suddenly to his busi-
ness associate, said: Preston. good-by
old boy, be good to yourself" and walked
briskly away.
Preston returned to his Office and ad-
dressed himself 10 his business.
Night came, but no Mckenzie. Other
days and nights came and went and still
no word from the absent partner. Preston,
for some unknown reason, made no ado
about the absence of his former associate
except to make offhand inquiries as to
whether or not his friends had seen Nc
kenZle anywhere.
An acquaintance of Preston arrived to-
day from Yuma, and reported to the de-
serted partner that he had seen Mckenzie
on the desert some miles south OF Yuma,
in company with Harry and Flora Kreit-
zer, brother and sister. all on the hurri-
cane deck of blackboard drawn by a pair
of mules.
The party told the prospector that they
were bound for the City of Mexico, They
were in dilapidated condition and
almost without food and water.
The erratic conduct of Mckenzie in
leaving here in the manner described has
no reasonable explanation so far as Pres
ton can ascertain.
He was man of excellent habits and
good family connection. His friends,
who were for the first time told of his long
absence and the plight he was found in on
the desert, expressed profound astonish-
ment at the information.

As regarding the action of the Egyptian

that Great Britain would not be worried

He then proceeded TO move a resolution

total cost of the Anglo Egy ptian expedi-

to setting aside certain Egyptian funds

Great Britain had advanced the money
to pay Egypt's share of the expenses,
leaving Great Britain and Egypt to mutu-
ally decide when the sum should be
repaid.

INVITES ARREST
AND GOES To JAIL
John Case Imprisoned at
Roseburg for Train
Robbery.
Suspected of Completely in the
Recent Southern Pacific
Hold.Up
" If at Any Time / Am Wan e. l Can
Re Found" He Had F c,tiously
Written.

PORTLAND. Or, Feb. 5.-John Case,
arrested for the Cow Creek train robbery
of June, 1895, and acquitted, took um bragg
at his name being connected with last
weeks "boid-up" on the Southern Pacific
near Roseburg. He felt that an injustice
had been done him. and so declared him
self in a communication. At the same
time there was hanging over his head an
indictment found by the late Grand Jury
of Douglas County. charging him with
having been a party to the Cow Greek
robbery and calling for his arrest. This
indictment in no way conf1icted with the
trial and acquittal of Case before the
United States authorities. The Govern
ment wanted him only for robbing the
mails; the State indictment charged him
with robbing train.
Case knew of this Grand Jury indict-
ment and his liability to arrest, but he
felt himself innocent of the Sheridan farm
affair of last week and could not restrain
himself from the temptation to issue
"deh" to those who by innuendo had &C.
cused him. So, providing himself with
paper, pen and ink, he wrote OF the injus-
tice done him, concluding his communi-
cation from Salem with the words:
"If at any time l am wanted l can be
found"
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Agee of
Douglas County and deputy appeared in
Salem. Case was true to his word and
was easily found, making no effort to
escape the officers. He was taken south
on last nights train and lodged in the
County Jail at Roseburg.
1t is the general opinion that while the
indictment found by the Douglas County
Grand Jury may yet prove to be the basis
of prosecution against Case. the officers in
reality believe they will be able to prove
his completely in last weeks robbery, and
for that reason wish to have him on hand
when wanted, despite his assurance of be-
ing always where he could be found

FetertnGry EGperts Differ as to the Age

VetertnGry EGperts Differ as to the Age
of the Mare Bethel
BERLIN. GERMANY, Feb. 5.-The hear
ing in the appeal of Robert T. Kneebs,
American trotting- horse owner, against
the Judgment of the courts conde mnin g
him to nine months imprisonment for
entering ringer" on the German tracks,
was continued to-day when the taking of
expert testimony was resumed. Veter-
mary Experts Mills and K!inger differe
with Professor Eggeling, who had pro-
duced a plaster cast of the jaw of the
mare Bethel in support of his conten tion
that the mare examined in America, al
legged TO have been Bethel, was not as old
as Bethel would have been.
Herr Klinger maintained that it was inn
possible to declare the age Of the horse by
an examination of the cast of the jaw
produced by Professor Eggeling. which
could be that of horse born in 1886.
AT about half-past ten O'Clock tonight
the court adiudged that Knee BIS had been
guilty of fraud. He was sentenced to
nine months imprisonment of which
term seven months in which Kneebs has
been in custody shall be considered part
of the sentence. Kneebs was also fined
1000 marks and condemned to lose his
civil rights for two years. Kneebs re-
serves the right to appeal from the de-
cision.

DEsPERArE FIGHTING IN CRETE.

Mussulfnans Set Fire 10 CaneG and the
Place IL Sotc Burning.
LONDON, ENG. Feb. 5.-A dispatch to
the Central News from Athens says that
desperate fighting has occurred between
the Christians and Mohammedans in the
island of Crete. The Mussulmans have
set fire TO the city of Canea and the place
is now burning. The city is in state OF
anarchy and Christian is safe nowhere.
Many Christians who had locked them
selves in their ouses were driven out by
the flames only to meet death at the hands
of the Turkish soldiers, who shot them
down on sight. A number of Christian:
have succeeded in finding refuge on the
warships in the harbor, but the out
look for those still i'll the city is very pre-
carious. The situation is so critical tha,
marines have been landed from the Brit
ish and French war.hips to protect the
consulates OF their respective Govern
ments.
A later dispatch to the Central News
says that the Christian houses in Cauea
have almost all been destroyed.
The dispatch further says that fully 500
persons have been killed IN Canea. Many
OF them lost their lives wni1e attem pting
to reach the warships. The various re-
ports indicate that in the first instance
the Christians were fully as much to
blame as the MuSSuImanS.
The Athens correspondent of the Daily
News says that the Consuls have arrived
at Canea, and have sent messages declar.
ing that the situation is hopeless. He
adds that the most intense excitement
prevails in Athens.
NJ. de la Ynannis, Prime Minister, an
nounced to the Chamber to-day that the
Government. at the instigation of the
King, had ordered two warships to pro-
ceed to Canea Immediately, and that other
warships would follow them. The state
ment was received with the widest en-
thusiasm and cheers for the union of
Greece and Crete.
Sir William Harcourt, the leader of the
Liberals, expressed regret at the unwise
language and gratuitous insults to the
powers which characterized the remarks
OF Sir Michael H cks- Beach.
George n. Curzon, Unler Foreign Secre-
tary sought 10 minimize the effect of Sir
MichaePs language and denied that it Wal
in any way intended as menace to
France.
Sir Henry NJ. Stanley, the African ex-
plorer, Unionist member for North Lam.
beth, said that Great Britain was only do
ing IN Egypt what Russia was doing in
Siberia and France was doing between the
Senegal and the Niger River in Africa.
After some further discussion the reso-
luton submitted by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach was adopted by vote OF 169 to 81.
In the lobby of the House ere was
much comment upon the anti Fren ch
tone OF Sir Michael Hicks Beach, and sur
prise was expressed by a numb of mem
bers that he should have spoken as he did.
The speech was thought to have such
significance that the full text was tele-
grapheo TO Paris this evening.

County Supervisors Order Heavy Re
d"ctions In Isco Districts.
RIVERSIDE, CAL, Feb. 5.-An impor-
tant move to landowners of the Moreno
and Alessandro Irrigation districts was
made to-day by the Board of Supervisors
After listening to evidence for two days
upon petition of the landowners in
those districts for reduction of water
rates, the board fixed the figure at 16 cents
an inch instead of 35 cents, which has
been charged by the receiver of the Bear
Valley Company for two seasons past.
Since the receiver fixed the rate at 80 cents
nearly 1000 acres of trees and vines were
abandoned by the owners, as the rate was
prohibitory. A 16cent rate will give new
hope to the land and orchard owners in
the districts. and the result will be bene-
ticial to this county.
1t is believed the Bear Valley Company
will carry the matter into the courts, but
the residents of the district do not antici-
pate that any modification of the new rate
will be ordered.
