WINDSOR CONFEDERATION.
The Charred Remains of Two Peo-
pIe Found in the Ruins.

WINDSOR On. So, Oct. 1S.-The COM
plete extent of the disaster to the town
of Windsor was not fully disclosed un-
til this morning. In all the fire-swept
district, only the courthouse, custom
house and Mounce'S Hotel stand intact.
The vaults of the Commercial Bank,
the Halifax Banking Company and
postoff1ce have stood the severe fire
test. The Peoples Bank has not Jared
so well. The door is somewhat warped,
and it is said that papers and valuables
have been destroyed.
The bitterly cold wind which blew
all day prevails. and unless clothing is
speedily brought into the town much
suffering will result. Most of the peo-
pie burned out escaped with little wear
ing apparel
Conservative estimates place the in
surance at $3.50, 900, not more than 80
per cent. of the loss.
This morning trains from Kentville
and Halifax brought hundreds of visi-
tors to the town to view the fire-strick-
en- ruins, and to assist relatives and
friends.
A car load of provisions and clothing
arrived by an early train to-day from
Halifax. The town of Truro also sent
car of provisions and clothing.
1t was thought yesterday that no
lives lad been lost, but this morning
the blackened and charred skeletons of
two persons were found near the ruins
of a house on ST. Ann street. Further
investigation proved them to be the
remains of Patrick Kelly and his wife,
an aged couple.

California by the Appointment
of an Inspector to Examine All
Passengers Coming Into the
State From Southern Points.

EUREKA, Oct. 1S.-A railway colli-
sion occurred in the vicinity of Arcata
this morning at the crossing of the Eu-
reka and klamath River and the Ar
cata and Mad River Railroads.
A logging train on the former road
was on the way up the river, and a
passenger train on the latter was COM
ing to Arcata. 1t is customary for
trains TO stop at the crossing, but as it
was not the time for the Mad River
train to pass, the engineer of the Kla-
math River train blew a whistle and
drew ahead. A dense fog prevailed, and
the trainmen could not see each other.
The Mad River train was late and the
result was that the trains collided at
the crossing.
The klamath River train was badly
smashed, the engine and cars jumping
the track, the engine was wrecked and
the cars broken. The Mad River train
was made up Of four cars of timber,
an engine and two passenger cars, the
latter on the rear of the train. The
engine was badly damaged, the front
car ditched, and valuable prepared tank
timber destroyed.
Engineer George Teal of the Mad
River train was injured, but not dam
gerously. There were a number of pas
sengers on the Mad River train who
were severely shaken up, but none were
seriously hurt.
The work of repairing the tracks was
begun Immediately, each company
sending crew of men to assist in the
work. Traffic will be resumed to-mor-
row.

KLONDIKE GOLD-SEEKERs.
Thousands Who Started Failed to
Reach Their Destination.

ASPEN (Col), Oct. 1S.-Professor
Charles M. Daggett, for many years a
resident of this city, has returned to
Aspen after futile attempt to reach the
Klondike
He speaks of hundreds of men who,
few months ago left for the gold
fields in the best of spirits and health
and with well-filled pocketbooks, as
now returning, heartsick and discour-
aged, dead broke" and without a cent
in the world. OF between 5000 and 10,-
900 pople who started for the Klondike
less than 1000 succeeded in getting over
the passes.
Speaking of those who are returning
Professor Daggett states that their con-
dition is deplorable.
Some idea of the number of men who
are without means now in the country
can be gained from the fact that
twenty-six stowaways were discovered
on the boat which brought the Pro-
fessor down. Not one of these pos
sessed a cent, and all were on the verge
of starvation.
Circle City, heretofore the metropolis
of the interior, is reported to be abso-
lutely deserted. The conditions at
Dawson City, however, are much more
encouraging. The town is lively and
work is plentiful. The food supply
however, is a source of worry.

QUARANTINE AGAINST FEVER.
Precautions to Prevent the Plague
Reaching California.

STOCKTON, Oct. 1S-According to
information received by DR.. Ruggles of
this city, President of the State Board
of Health, Texas is endeavoring to save
herself from yellow fever at the expense
of California. In view of this fact the
physician has authorized the appoint
ment of an inspector to examine all
passengers coming into this State from
Texas, and that official is now on his
way to the border.
The man who is to inspect incomers
from Texas is DR.. Price of Cotton, San
Bernardino County. He is the man
whom DR.. Ruggles and DR.. Hill of San
Pedro agreed upon, and the State Board
of Health left the matter entirely in
their hands. 1t was agreed between
Drs. Ruggles and Hill couple of weeks
ago that there was no need of appoint
ing an inspector until the yellow fever
had spread into Texas, but that as soon
as any cases We're reported from that
State DR.. Price should be sent to the
border Immediately to examine all pas
sengers coming into California from
that direction.
Last week the president of the board
received a telegram from Cotton sign
ed by some one whom he did not know,
urging the board to take immediate ac-
tion to keep the yellow fever out of the
State. DR.. Ruggles sent a reply, in
which he told of the agreement that had
been made between himself and DR..
Hill. The President of the State Board
has sent this letter to DR.. HILL together
with allthOriZatiOn aS far aS he 10 CON
cerned, for the appointment of an in
spector. The inspector will have power
to detain suspected cases.

sidized Pacific railroads, the latter item
amounting to 81, S06, are not in
cluded in this fiscal statement.
The total deficiency for 1896 was S.

ufacture and issue of it's stamps. He
says the Postoffice Department should
have its own engraving and printing
establishment for making it's stamps
and its own vaults for their safekeep-
ing, and that these stamps should be
issued by its own agents direct to
postmasters, and through its own ex-
elusive machinery. Recommendation
is made for the discontinuance of news
paper and periodical stamps.
A significant recommendation is one
urging that prepayment in full of all
mail matter be required hereafter. The
report says that the department has for
years past been suffering heavy loss
of revenues from the failure of post
masters to rate up and collect postage
on drst-class matter not fully prepaid.

GREATER new YORK POLITICS,
EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON ON
THE MUNICIPAL CAMPAIGN.
Increased Registration Is Cause
for Rejoicing Among the
Tammanyites.

NEW YORK, Oct 1S-Ex-President
Harrison touched upon a truth regard
ing the New York municipal campaign
in am interview with Murat Halstead,
which is published to-day. This is
that, to some extent, the issue is
whether there shall be any issue be-
yond purely local ones. He said:
THE question thus presented divides
Democrats and Republicans alike-the
latter perhaps more sharply than the
former-as to both national and State
issues. The strength of the Low inde-
pendents, Citizens Union people, is
principally among Republicans, who
hold to the proposition that local issues
should be paramount in the city cam
paign, while the Republican organiza-
ton insists that the fight be made upon
the St. Louis platform of the party,
and particularly the financial plank of
that document. The declaration in the
Low platform that proper compensa-
ton be exacted for franchises granted,
such as for street railways, is but one
of several attempts by men who are.
for the most part, children in Presiden-
tial years. to have the campaign fought
on local lines.
Inc lT6t SllN6TIl6S dIIlcIl2 the Dc-
mocracy have from the outset been ag-
gressively favoring the exploiting the
cries of finance in the city canvass, but
these are in the minority, and We're
completely overTuled in the Tammany
or regular Democratic Convention, and
had small consideration in the coun-
ellis of the Thomas Jefferson party,
which has made Henry George its
standard bearer.
1.-THE Democrats, however, while prac-
tically ignoring national issues, are
doing some effective work on the SUBJ
ject of the excise law, even elevated
and street railway cars being placard-
ed with queries as to the justice of
law which levies a tax upon the larger
cities, a portion of the proceeds being
bestowed upon the country districts
This question of the excise law will
enter also, and naturally, into the cleo

The registry of Saturday (the final
day) was larger than anticipated. and
the Tammanyites appear to be most
jubilant at this development. though
leaders of the other political divisions
claimed to be satisfied and confident.

policy of silence, and refers all inter-
viewers to his forthcoming letter of ac-

MONROE DOCTRINE.
Bismarck Says It Is Inso1ence
Toward the Rest of the World.

BERLIN, Oct 1S. The "'Neuste
Nachriehten' of Leipsic publishes a re-
port OF a conversation which Prince
Bismarck is said to have had with a
recent visitor, during the course of
which the eX-Chancellor is quoted as
saying that the Monroe doctrine is ''un-
common insolence toward the rest of
the world, and does violence to the
other American and European States
with American interests"
1t would be analogous, the Prince is
said to have added if Russia and
France combined to disallow frontier
changes in Europe of the preponder-
ing lowers in Asia, Russia and Great
Britain, arrogated the right not to
change the present status without their
consent
Continuing, Prince Bismarck is re-
ported to have remarked: s'Their great
wealth, due to the soil of America, has
led the American Legislators to overes-
innate their own rights and underesti-
mate the rights of the other American
and European States''

death in manner and form as charged
in the Indictment, in such case it is
your duty to acquit the defendant.
To prove the corpus delicti, the State
is required to produce only such legal
evidence as establishes in the mind of
the jury. beyond a reasonable doubt,
conviction that the murder charged
in the indictment has been in fact COM
mitted in manner and form as charged,
and that the defendant is guilty of its
commission; and it matters not that the
proof Of such corpus delicti consists, in
whole or in part, of cireumstantial evil
dence, provided it is sufficient to salts
fy the minds of the jurors, beyond
reasonable doubt, of the commission of
the offense charged.
While the statute provides that a
person charged with crime may testify
in his own behalf, he is not under any
obligation to do so, and the statute
expressly declares that his neglect to
testify shall not create any presump-
ton against him.
AS Judge Tuthill finished the reading
he looked up at the jurors and said:
Gentlemen, you may retire and con-
slider your verdict"
Immediately there was an uproar in
the courtroom. People who had been
sitting arose to their feet, and the
shouts of the bailiff ordering everyone
to sit down availed nothing. The
crowd surged forward, and took up
every inch Of space to where the circu
lar fence barred them from the attor-
neys. Women tainted in the crush,
and their costumes and headgear suf-
fered. The crowd seemed to want to
get near Luetgert. All wanted to see
how the big sausage maker stood the
final ordeal, now that his case was in
the hands of the jury.
For more than half an hour after the
jury retired they did nothing but
breathe freer air and stretch their ach-
ing limbs. At $3.50 o'clock dinner was
served to them from neighboring
restaurant. Soon afterward they be-
gan their deliberations in earnest.
At / 80 O'Clock this morning informa-
ton direct from the juryroom was to
the effect that a disagreement had
taken place, both sides being obstinate,
and the chances for an agreement be-
fore morning very slight. The major
ity Of the jury are with the State and
desirous of conviction. Just how the
jury stands could not be learned, but
it is row generally thought that the
final outcome viii be disagreement.

NO GROUND FOR RECOVERY.
Important Decision Rendered by

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1S.-An i'm

United States Court of Appeals to-day
affirming that of the Circuit Court in
the case of A. Lehman VS.. the city of
San Diego, an action to recover the
amount paid upon four bonds of that
city which had been Illegally issued.
The plaintiff contended that he had
purchased the bonds in good faith, and
for value as an innocent purchaser, and
was therefore entitled to recover, but
the trial court held that it was the
duty of the purchaser to inquire as
to whether or not the issue was legal
before purchasing, and that failure to
do so did not give him ground for re-
cOVery
