A MAN who is unable to manage his own az

DR.. R. c. Splawn has given satisfaction as
coroner, and very little need be said in his be-

and his election goes without saying. He is
a true-bue reforner and most excellent man

Mr.. Champe, the editor of the AGITATOR re-
marks that Certain man offered to pay 81 900
to elect Herman commissioner. We will
give Champe that much money if he will es-
tablsh the truth of that statement.-Fweddy
Twigg in the Eagle.
The Eagle dosn't possess thousand dollars,
so we will not undertake to prove the remark
referred to. We will say, however, that we did
not make the assertion that certain man offer
ed to pay 81 900 to elect HERMAN commission
en-" and Trigg we'll knows that we made no
such assertion We did say-and repeat it
that Republican mot a silver Republican, but
a eold-bug) boosted to the writer that Herman
would be elected commissioner, because Frank
Brown would spend thousand dollars of CHS
own money in order to elect Herman. If
this boastful gold-bug Republican lied, We can t
help it, We 90 not doubt that Frank Brown
can pet 81 900 of railroad money to TO try
to elect his tool, John Herman, i'll view of
the railroad bonds; but getting the money and
buying the tax payers Of this county are two
different things. Better stick to your Garrett
girl items and almanac "jokes," Fweddy. Pol
tiles is too heavy for your braiu(?).

FwEDDY TwICG, the girl" editor of the
Eagle, devoted good deal of space last week
to the AGITAToR and its editor. Fweddy evil
IDENTIFY believes that wien fellow tells lie
he should tell one so big that nobody would be-
ieve it. Even the Eagles little circle of read
ers don't believe that "Champe admits that he
wants to see a commissioner elected because
there is a chance for rake Of. D." Fweddy
knew better, himself. He just felt like lying,
aud he lust led--that's all. But, that the Re
publican gang-or, we should say, the Johnson
Tiigg outfit sees rake-oit ahead u
they can elect John HERMAN commissioner,
nobody pretends to deny. Even ode gang"
don't deny it. When Frank Brown is willing
to spend s. 900 of "his own money to elect
Hartman commissioner, no one doubts for
minute that lie sees a rake-oH ahead.

IN COLLISION
Engineer Geery Killed and One Pas
senger Injured

MARYSVILLE, Aug. 11.-There was
a collision at Binny Junction, about a
mile north Of here, today between the
combined local passenger and freight
train which runs between Sacramento
and Oroville ard the fast freight COM
ing from Red Bluff. Owing to curve
in the road the approaching freight train
could not be seen until it was near at
hand. The passenger train expected
to pass it at this point, and slowed down
and was not runring over six miles an
hour when the crash came. Err gineer
Geery and the fireman both jumped for
their lives the engineer first reversing
his engine and warning the conductor.
Geery was caught by the driving wheels
and thrown with such force to the
ground that he was fatally injured. He
died within an hour. Both engines were
badly damaged. Mrs. Tarmont a pas
senger, was injured. Judge Morrison
of San Francisco, who was on the COM
bination train, blames the engineer ard
fireman of the freight for not watchir 6
the road ahead if they expected the
other train. The dead engineer had
beer with the Southern Pacific for %
wears,

BALL RAN AWAY
So Baker Didn't Thump Him Very
Much

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE St.
Georges club gave boxing carnival at
Woodward's pavilion tonight which was
attended by 5000 spectators. The bout
advertised as the chief attraction, name
ly that between Henry Baker of Chi
cago and Richard Ball of England, both
heavyweights, proved to be the tamest
fight on the card. Baker had Ball run
ming backwards throughout the first
round, and when the Englishman stood
up and fought back in the second round
Baker struck him when and where he
pleased. Ball continued his sprinting
about the ring to avoid the big "Stock-
yards Terror until the seventh round,
when Referee Alex Greggains stopped
the affair and gave the decision to Ba-
ker Ball was outclassed in cleverness
and only managed to stay the seven
rounds by running away.
The best fight of the night was be-
tween Lon Agnew formerly of Chicago
and Dick Case of Puget sound. Case
was given the decision at the end of ten
rounds.
Billy Armstrong of Stockton and Mike
Whalen of San Francisco put up fast
fight while it lasted. Armstrong was
knocked out in the fourth round.

A New Ocean Record

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE steamer
st. Paul, which arrived at Southampton
today, has reduced her own eastward
record by As minutes. The st. Paul sailed
from New York for Southampton Aug
ust 4, clearing the bar at 11:43 a. m. and
the lightship probably twenty minutes
later Her arrival off Hurst castle at
6:10 this morning makes the time of her
passage about 6 days 13 hours and 81
minutes. This performance does not,
however, give her the best eastward
record, which is held by the Hamburg
American line steamer Furst Bismarck,
and is days 10 hours and SIS minutes,
made in September, 1896.

it's operations the Canadian Pacific
maintained a supremacy in the Pacific
and Asiatic business that was more or
less distressing to its rivals.
The Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific, with terminals at Seattle and Ia
coma, and also Portland naturally suf-
fered most by the Canadian road, al
though the Southern Pacific, with its
terminal at San Francisco and the San
Ia Fe, located farther south in Califor-
mia, at Los Angeles, complained bitterly
at times of losing business taken from
them by their Canadian rival
The Canadian Pacific was enabled to
transfer and ship from Vancouver into
the States through it's traffic arrange
ments with American railroads as cas-
lily as any of the American overland
roads.
The cars crossed the frontier without
molestation from customs officers be-
cause they were protected with seals
from American consuls and were carried
direct to the points to which they were
billed
Some idea of the value of the imports
brought to the States by the Canadian
roads can be obtained from the publish
ed customs statistics. During the fisca
year ended June 80, 1896, the importa-
tions from the Eastern provinces tC
Canada aggregated $30,6S5,3SS; from
British Columbia, s9, 536, ,6S7, or tota
Of S94, ,21S ,069. OF this amount $23,S27, Al
was carried by the railroads, the Can
adian Pacific and Grand Trunk. Amer
lean vessels carried Sc, ,649 and for
eign hulls the balance. All of this enor-
nous traffic will be wiped out so far as
the Canadian roads are concerned il
