BROWN DECIDES IN BARRY'S FAVOR He Is the Democratic
 Nominee. SPELLING'S CLAIM SET ASIDE FOURTH DISTRICT CONTEST AD-
 JUDICATED. Certificate of Nomination of the Con- testant Returned Without
 Having Been
 Filed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 23.-Secretary of State Brown this afternoon decided in the matter of the contest of Carl T. Spelling against James H. Barry that Barry was the regular Democratic nominee for Congress from the Fourth District, and that Spelling had no claim to a place on the ballot
 After reviewing the facts presented on both sides the decision concludes as follows:
 It Is undisputed that there is a Demo- cratic State Central Committee, the vali-' dity of which is unquestioned. There Is as representing said party in the Fourth Congressional District. The so-called Fourth Congressional District Committee, nominated nondr ss r. e (. speling ing assembled has never been recognized by the Democratic National Committee or the State Central Committee nor was 1t considered by the the adoption of the purity of election law in California, no Democratic Con- gressional Committee has acted, or even existed, except the single instance men, toned herein. There was no default on the part of any Democratic authority in calling a Congressional convention in said man; nor was said T..C. Spelling prohibited from seeking a nomination from the same convention that nominated James H. Barry. In all the Congressional districts in California the nominees of the Demo- cratic party for Congress were nominated by conventions called together by the State Central Committee, delegates to said convention being appointed or elected by or under the direction of the county com mittees comprising said Congressional districts.
 In keeping with well-established prece- dents of the Democratic party in this State, considering party customs, prac- tices and usages, and in the absence of any law in California to the contrary, I, as Secretary of State. for reasons afore- said, return the certificate of nomination of Thomas Carl Spelling, without filing the same.
 I file the certificate of James H. Barry as the nominee for Congress of the Demo- cratic party in the Fourth Congressional District.

APOLOGIES FOR HIS PARTY
DEFENDS ITS OPPOSITION TO
 THE REVENUE BILL.
Democratic Nominee Reiterates the Allegation That the Railroad Controls Republican
 Candidates.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 23.-A big audience greeted James G. Mcguire, the fusion candidate for Governor, who spoke tonight in the City Pavilion. A. M. kenniston was chairman of the meeting. Secretary T.. W. Tuckworth read the list of vice-presidents, which included the names of the county candidates. Each, as he took his seat, was cheered.
 E. l.. Hutchinson was the first speaker. He devoted most of his time to apolog:z- ing for his party, the Free Silver Republi- cans, in having indorsed the Democratic candidates.
 Mcguire took the stand amid much en- thusiasm. He opened up on the corpora tions immediately. He declared monop- olies must be relegated to the past. To his opposition of these institutions he at- IIlDuted his success as a public man. The Judge then took up a discussion of platforms. He devoted a few moments 70 the free silver question, and soon dr1fted into ridicule of the opening cam paign speeches of MT. Gage and General Barnes. He spoke at length on the war situation. He said General Barnes seemed laboring under the belief that the .Repub- Hcans deserved the credit for the suc- cessful termination of the war.
 The history of it's commencement will show, said the speaker that the war was forced upon the administration, not sought by 1t. It was, nevertheless, equal faiths. l honor the Republicans as well as all others for their patriotism"
 He then tried to impress the people all alike. but that the blame for any mistakes belonged to the Republicans
 Mir. Mcguire went into an elaborate de- fense of the Democratic party in Con- gress for having hindered the passage of the revenue bill. He said they were attempting to have tax placed upon the wealth and corporate interests of the country.
 MT. Mcguire discussed Southern Pacific influence. He claimed that If the Re publican candidates were not Southern Pacific men, they were representatives of a Southern-Pacific-ma ticket and were under its influence. He said The Call published the right ticket before it was nominated; that The Call claimed to have got information by canvassing among the delegates to the convention, but he (Ma- guire) thought The Call went to great have secured the information gratis at the Southern Pacific offices.

ARRESTS GROWING OUT
 OF THE MILLPOND CASE
Prominent Young Men of Southing- ton, Conn.,, Arrested for the
 Murder of Miss Gill.

SOUTHINGTON, Conn, Sept 2a-Some strange Nemesis seems to pursue the re- mains of the unfortunate young woman who was the victim of the Yellow Mill pond tragedy, and who has been identi- fled as Emma Gill, of this village. This morning the remains were exhumed from the Potters field in Bridgeport, and brought here for burial. Funeral ser vices were held this afternoon and the remains were scarcely again returned to the grave, when Dr. Rosenbluth received a telegram from Coroner Doton of Bridgeport, asking him to make an exam iination of the teeth. The body had been buried but permit was issued and the remains will be disinterred tomorrow and the examination made. Dr. Rosenbluth is the dentist who did all the work on Miss GiliS teeth.
 Harry Oxley and Howard Guernsey, two young men of prominent families, have been arrested for supposed connection with the case and taken to Bridgeport to- night. Oxley Is the son of the leading stationer of the town, while Guernsey is the son of Sherman Guernsey, who repre- scented Southington in the last Legisla- ture is chairman of the First Congrega- tional Society. and a member of the School Board.

purgatory inflicted on the travelling public. General Barnes observed that he did not bring his gloves with him and therefore proposed to handle Ma guire without them.
 The orator took up the party plat forms and considered them plank by plank. The Populist platform, the Landslide of political ignorance the avalanche of political stupidity" the document which Mcguire signed, was reviewed in detail. The review of the platform kept the audience in roars of laughter.
 The destruction of sixteen Spanish ships of war in remembrance of the Maine was a 16 to 1 proposition which the orator ever admired. The audience hailed the suggestion with shouts of applause. The extension of American supremacy to the territory conquered in the war, the prospect of Nicaraguan canal construction and the general be- StoWal of blessings on the human race by the triumph of Republican prin- ciples engaged the attention of the orator.
 For more than two hours the au- dience listened with admiration to the sentiments which he expressed The beautiful peroratiOn in which the flag was hoisted to the stars so fascinated the vast assemblage that all remained in their places for several minutes after the general ceased speaking. The si- lence was not broken until the chair man proposed three cheers for the Re- publican State ticket. This proposition brought the audience back to earth and cheers were given with great vigor. Then some one in the audience pro- posed three cheers for General Barnes. The multitude arose and gave three mighty shouts of commendation.
 Henry T. Gage and the general re- mained on the stage long after the meeting proper closed to receive the congratulations of resident and visiting Republicans. In all respects the meet ing tonight was one of the greatest if not, indeed, the greatest-political demonstration ever witnessed in Ven tura County.

From Republican Traveller. Arkansas City, Kan.
 Pilgrimages to some shrine of St. Vitus. to cure the disease known as St. Vitus' dance, are no longer made.

 The woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the distinctly feminine or gans is certain to become an invalid. No woman can suffer in this way and be a tent mother. Troubles of this nature sap the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines of suffering upon the face, destroy the temper, make the once bright eyes dull and the once active brain sluggish and transform viva cious woman into weak, s1ckly, invalid
 This is all wrong. It is all unnecessary. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription IS mar velous medicine for ailing women. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs that bear the burdens of matern- ity and makes them strong and healthy. It allays inflammation, heals uiceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. It banishes the discornforts of the expectant months and makes baby's coiri- ing easy and almost painless. It Itguarantees the little newcomers health and an ample supply of nourishment. Thousands of women have testified to its marvellous mer- its. An honest dealer will not endeayor to substitute some inferior preparation for the sake of an extra little selfish profit
