BADLY HURT.

P. X. Hulse Met With an Accident
that Came Near Costing his L,fr.
DR.. Boulware was called Saturday
evening to administer 10 the wants
of P. K Hulse, who had just recelv-
ed severe aud almost fatal injuries
ia a mishap near the old Lefker mill
in the southwest part of the city.
Mr.. Hulss was riding in a spring
wagon and the accident was caused
by his horse shyipg from a wet
place in the road and falling of the
end of a small culvert over ravlne.
When the horse went down the
wagon was dragged after him Mr..
Hulse in falling caught his feet IN
the dashboard in such a manner
that he was held fast with his head
and shoulders resting on the ground
directly under the hind feet of the
animal.
The horse, large and powerful
animal, in struggling to extricate
itself, planted his hind feet in Mr..
Hulse's face. The right eye lid was
cut in two, and a fearful cash was
cut at the corner of the eye. Both
the upper and lower lips were cut
through 10 two or three places and
a deep cash was cut in the cheek on
the inside of the mouth Several
teeth and portion of the upper
Jaw bone on the lefl side OF the face
was crushed and left hanging in the
mouth, held only by few tendons
which the doctor clipped with a pail
of shears and removed He was alec
hurt in the left side OF the chest
and when taken home threw uI
nearly gallon of blood. At the
time it was thought he was hurt
internally. The face was &c
badly lacerated that when the doc

stitching it resemblsd a crazy quilt
While the wounds are very severe
and painful the patient is doing wei
and hopes to be out again IN a shor
time.

face when requested to do so b

TOMLINs' LECTURE
Great Musical Authority on Handel's
"Messiah"

The few who had the pleasure Of listen
ing to William L. Tomlins at the Ebeil
clubhouse last evening in his erudite lee
ture on Handel's oratorio 1.-THE Messiah
received in brief time liberal musical
education.
The lecture was fine, subtle and meta
physical. The room was fairly we'll filled
and most, II not all, Of the audience were
music lovers, whose faces showed their
appreciation of the delicate shading and
the varied tones of the picture the speaker
drew in graphic word painting. Mr.. Tom
Inns was presented to his hearers by Mrs.
F. A. Eastman, one Of the prominent MEM
bers of the Ebell
The speaker began by describing his
study as a boy Of Handers arias and later
| in musical s:atics of the study OF the scale.
In middle life, in his work with children's s
voices. 1t flashed on him one morning that
the same scale that was In Handel's Mes
s!ah" was in the child. After describing
the qualities in the child the speaker drew
the parable! between them and Handers
Messiah" Then followed an interpreta-
tion Of the major and minor scale and the
relation Of the quality and expression of
the tones to the theme in Handevs i'm
mortal composition.
Mr.. Tomlins will give an informal talk
this morning, tomorrow and Thursday
mornings on the musical training Of chill
dren, at the residence Of Mrs. F. A. Ea ST.
man, Washington street. Thursday even-
Ing at some one Of the large churches a
demonstra ation Of the correct singing of
standard church hymns will be given.

THE T|MfSAND HSANTAG0NtSTS
Boss Parker Cannot Explain the An.
tagonism Of thd Times-Flint
Sitter Than Steel

It was hard work running Walter Parker
to earth yesterday, for he was all over town
all the time, but finally he was cornered at
the Hollenbeck.
II do not care to say anything" he stated.
Some of the facts, however, which have
in mind are matters Of record and therefore
there can be no harm in my repeating them.
The harbor resolution that the Times ac-
cuses me Of having piloted through the city
council was not a Santa Monica resolu-
tlon, as they say, but was simply request
of the California delegation in congress to
get all of the appropriations possible for
harbor for Southern California, regard
less Of location. This, mind you, was in
1895. After that 1 was appointed to the
state executive committee and served dur
ing the Mckinley campaign, doing what
could in my humble way to aid in bringing
about the victory that the party achieved
in this state. I was not attacked then,
though, as 1 have stated, this was after
the act that the Times now denounces mo
for. That victory. by the way, made it
possible for General Otis to have his ambi-
tion satisfied, and as a consequence he is
now brigadier general at Manila. All Of
that time, as said, I was not assaulted by

"Will you withdraw from the executive
committee?" he was then asked.
mo such contingency has presented It.
self to me-" was his reply.
"Have you any present intention Of with
drawing?"
mo, I have not But must refuse to
answer any more such interrogatories."
ITO what do you ascribe the action Of
the Times? Do you think it is due to high
moral grounds the interests Of the Repub-
lican party, or to some other cause?"
II think 1t is due to the discovery they
made when Mr.. Cage appointed men to the
Executive committee who were non gratae
to that paper, that they could not con-
troll him II he should be elected. They first
realized then that he would not be pup
pet governor II they had really known
him we'll they should have seen long ago
that Mr.. Gage cannot be controlled by any
corporation or individual
Mr.. Flint was very coy when he was ap-
preached for an interview. All that could
be gotten from him was the repeated state
ment: II refuse to be interviewed. will
not talk for publication under any circum-
stances"
Mr.. Parker was also very guarded.
The herald., 1898-09-13

1.-THE charge has been made that this Is
personal figh; we are making. This Is
untrue. We believe that the appointment
to the state executive committee of Messrs.
Osborne and Parker jeopardizes the Re-
publican cause in this state in its cam
paign, because Of the affiliations these men
have with the Southern Pacific company,
which Is notorious On that ground sole
ly, on the ground Of common ordinary
decency in politics, we have taken the
stand we occupy. We object to training
with any ward politicians like Mr. Parker,
or any other politician who goes to the Of
flee Of Mr.. John A. Muir, the superintend-
ent of the Southern Pacific company in
this city. to receive his orders. This we
know Mr.. Parker does"
"Will yeu support the state Republican
ticket?" Mr.. Mosher was then asked.
ut Is our intention to support the entire
state ticket" he replied, with the excep-
ton Of Mr.. George L. Arnold, the candi-
date for the state board of equalization ~

Shot in the Brain

Richard Machado, a boy, was brought to
the county Jail from Wilmington yesterday
on charge of assault to commit murder.
He is alleged, as related in Sundays Her
aid, to have attempted the life Of Eddy
Schmidt, aged IA years. According to the
claims of the elder Schmidt, Machado de-
liberately pointed a 44-caliber rifle at the
other boy and pulled the trigger, shooting
him in the brain. Machado claims that he
told Schmidt the rifle would not shoot be-
cause a bullet had stuck in the barrel; that
Schmidt touched the trigger with his toe
while looking down the barrel, and the
charge exploded. Schmidt is expected to
die.

THEY DON'T MIX WELL
Faith Cure Dr.. Richmond Arrested on
a Charge Preferred by the
Health Officer

Doctor" S. w. Richmond, the man
whose faith cure' treatment Of little
Ethel Martin Is supposed to have been
largely responsible for the child death
was yesterday arrested at the instance OF
City Health Officer L. M. Powers, who
charges the offender with practicing medi-
cine without license. DR.. Powers re.
ported his action to the board Of health a,
the regular meeting last evening and was
heartily commended for 1t. Richmond
when questioned by DR.. Powers. contended
that he has the power of diagnosing case
by intuition; that by placing his hand upon
a patient who has cancer he can feel the
soul or something of the disease run up his
arm and that he has often seen the color
of typhoid fever pirouetting from patien
under his treatment. . IS.
The rehearsal of this rot made the board
so sick that they openly expressed them
selves to the effect that Richmond's proper
place was in a we'll guarded asylum.
general discussion on the subject of faith
cure" doctors resulted in an informal de.
cision that the matter shall be thoroughly
Investigated in the near future.
The board Cancelled the dairy license OF
Jerry Relehan of Boyle Heights. Relehar
has been the subject of frequent com
plants at the health office and has utterly
disregarded notifications ordering him to
abate certain nuisances. One Of his IA
vortte pastime seems to be the breeding
Of dogs. He is said to have nineteen Of the
canine tribe in his kennels and the city
milk inspector contends that a mixture oi
dog-kennels and dairy is not conducive
to the health and cleanliness ofa commun.
i,y. As Relehan will not give up the dogs
the board will force him to give up the
dairy.
DR.. Powers reported the slaughter houses
on their good behavior and the dairy pro.
ducts up to the standard.
VIM. Henderson's communication rela-
tive to plan for correcting the prevailing
evil Of forcing private sewer ventilators tc
act in the same capacity for the public
sewers, was referred to the health officer
and plumbing inspector for investigation.
DR.. Powers explained the newly adopt ed
plan for securing and keeping an indis.
putable record of developed and suspected
typhoid fever cases, and the board od-
journed.
