base, the main stem is 81 feet long,
one lateral AZ feet long, another 81
feet, Is are 15feet and 30 sub-laterals
are 10 feet, giving a total length of
vine of 1876 feet. On the vine are 76
matured cushaws, which will average
II lbs, or nearly half ton for the
lot. Now then if you can muster a
bigger vine than this just trot it out.
We have known the spot where it
grew for many year, and have

Accidental Shooting.

A lot of young colored men were
out on the town Monday night and
became a little too full. Albert
Halleck was rather more drunk than
the others and his friend, Kit Ellis,
undertook to carry him home.
Halleck had a gun in his hand, and
on the way home it was accidentally
discharged, the shot taking effect in
the abdomen Of Ellis.
Ellis made an antomortem state
ment in which he said Halleck did
not intend to shoot him, bat that it
was an accident.
Halleck is the son Of very re-
spectacle and upright colored man,
Mr., Jere Halleck.
Ellis died on Tuesday afternoon at
3 O'Clock. HalIeck was placed in
Jail to await his examining trial, but

The Young Widow.

She was modest, but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold,
Like an apple, rich and mellow,
Not too young, and not too old;
Half INVITING, half repulsive,
Now advancing and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimple,
There is mischief in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
And is skilled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
AS the mistress of all hearts;
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile;
o, maid is sometimes charming,
But the widow all the while.
Are you sad? how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angry? she is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb;
Are you mirthful? how her laughter
Understanding, will ring out;
She can lure and catch and play you
AS the angler docs the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bald and wise
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love looks in your eyes
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by cupid before the fall,
But know little widow
Who could win and fool you all.

 Age.
One Thousand People Witness the Averaging of His Awful
 Crime.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

COJFAX March 25.-The execution of John Leonard for the murder of Ja- cob Malquist at Texas Ferry occurred this afternoon in the presence or fully 1000 people. Leonard was brought from the jail and ascended the scafold unas- sisted at 1:1S o'clock. Father kearns. at the request of Leonard, read snort final statement, protesting his lnno- cence of willful murder. At l:2l Leon- ard stepped on the trap, shook hands with the officers and few others. At 1:24 a voice called out "Good-by, JACK, and Leonard responded in clear tones, "Good-by, Charley AS the last word left his lips the trap was sprung ana Leonard dropped six feet. The body re- bounded slightly, but not movement of the muscles was noticeable. Alter the body hung sixteen minutes Leonard was pronounced dead by the attending physicians. The body was at once taken in charge by Father Kearns and conveyed to the cemetery, where fun eral exercises were held.
 The crime for which John Leonard suffered the death penalty was com nlitted at Texas Ferry on Snake River, on July IS. 1896, in the saloon of his vic- tim Jacob MalqulSt, a SWede, 50 years of age It was shown at the trial that Leonard beat out Malquist's brains from behind, though he claimed that Nal ouist first drew a revolver on him and he was compelled in self-defense to strike his assailant with club. There were nc witnesses to the tragedy and Leonard made his escape, but as soon as the murder was discovered posse was organized and he was captured short distance from Texas Ferry. He admitted the killing, but said it was done in self-defense.
 Leonard was tried, found guilty and sentenced to be hanged on October g, 1S96 An appeal was taken to the Su- preme Court but the judgment of the lower court was affirmed and Leonard again sentenced to death on July 2. He was granted a stay of execution by the Governor and an appeal to the Su- preme Court was taken. The court again refused a new trial, and the de- fendant was resentenced to hang on March 25, 1898.
 Leonard was 37 years old a barber by trade and served two terms in the penitentiary at Walla Walla, having been released from the penitentiary on the day he killed Malquist. Nal quist for thirty years was employed on steamboats in various capacities and was known to all steamboat men on the upper Columbia and Snake rivers.

DEL MONTE, March 25.-Johnson, Wait and Vanlandingham. the three wise men from the East who came. saw and were defeated, packed their trunks early this morning, and, fol- lowing the example of Longfellows Arab, quietly stole away from the scene of their slaughtered hopes and went to San Francisco, where they will remain for a few days before return ing to their homes.
 With the departure of these gentle men the excitement which has charac- terized the last few days died away and the San Francisco delegation of merchants went out driving. while the railroad men went in to meet and talk over in a preliminary way the matter of carload and less than carload rates. which was the first the matter to be considered at the morning session.
 The discussion on this subject was of a general character and the matter was finally laid on the table for fur ther consideration, without any def1n- ite action being taken.
 The second thing to be considered was the matter of freight classification and groupings. This was treated in the same manner as the previous queS- fiOD

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT
 AT PACIFIC GROVE.
A Grandniece of General Vallejo Thrown From a Carriage and
 Injured

MONTEREY, March 25.-Miss Rose Ab- rego. a prominent society young lady of Monterey. was seriously injured yester- day in a carriage accident and is now en- during great suffering as a consequence. Miss Abrego and Mrs. F. c. Botch were driving a pair of p1nies on Lighthouse avenue in Pacific Grove when a horse at tached to hay cart became frightened and dashed into their team before they could turn out of the way. Some bystand- CTS rushed to the rescue and the ladies got out of the phaeton as quickly as pos stble. Miss Abrego was, however, in her alarmed state of mind a little too hasty and in jumping from the phaeton alight- ed in such way as to cause a double fracture of her ankle joint, besides badly spraining her foot. Her physicians hope there will be no serious results, but say an injury of the kind is always an ugly one to deal with.
 Miss Abrego belongs to two of the prominent old families of this historic town: She is the granddaughter of the late Don Jose Abrego, and through her mother, who was Leese, is grandniece to that celebrated Californian, General Vallejo.

PARTY
 FORCES SPLIT Oregon Populists Divided Into Two Warning

Nearly a Score of Dele gates Leave the Conven-

form Adopted by the Free SiIverites.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, March 25.-The joint conference committee from the Popu- list, Democratic and Free Silver Re publican State conventions to-day unanimously agreed upon a platform which was reported to the respective conventions and adopted. When the vote adopting the platform was an nounced in the Populist convention, IS middle of the-road delegates left the hall.
 The platform demands the free and unrestricted coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1. without waiting for the consent of for eign nations, and is unalterably op- posed to the financial policy of the present Republican administration and especially the avoWed attempt to faS- ten the country irrevocably and for ever to the single gold standard. It declares for national money, safe and sound, issued by the general Govern ment only, without the intervention of banks of issue, to be a full legal tender for all debts, public and private; also a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people through the lawful disbursements of the Government.
 It demands that the volume of circu- laClnS medium De SpeeUlly luCTedSeO u an amount sufficient to meet the de- mands of the business and population If this country and to restore the just level of prices of labor and produc tion.
 The platform favors such legislation as will prevent for the future the de- monetization of any kind of legal ten der money by private contract; 1t de- mands that the Government in pay ment of it's obligations shall use it's option as to the kind of lawful money in which they are to be paid, and de- nounces the present and preceding ad ministrations for surrendering this op ton to the holders of Government ob- legations. It further demands that there shall be no further issue of United States interest-bearing bonds; that postal savings banks be estab lished by the Government; that United States Senators be elected by direct vote of the people.
 The platform finally demands the in itiative and referendum system of law making in it's optional form, and con- demns as dangerous and unjust the Government to the influence of trusts. corporations and aggregations of wealth generally and the packing of the courts of the land with corporation lawyers.
 On the taxation of corporation prop erty. which caused the split in the Populist convention, the platform says:
 'Inasmuch as railroad and other cor poration property is not bearing it's proportion of taxation, we demand that such property shall bear it's just and equal share of expense of govern

CHANGES IN MONTEREY
 BAYS CONFORMATION.
Portion of the Harbor Made Deeper by the Action of the Ocean
 Wash

MONTEREY, March 25.-A recent dis covery regarding the bay of Monterey is rather startling and is causing much con- lecture among those who have been in- formed of it. J. w. H. James, the Lon don civil engineer and railroad expert, who is here examining Monterey harbor in the interest of London capitalists. has found that the ocean wash is throwing the sand to the northeast side of the bay, and has so widened and deepened the har- bor that the latest United States Govern ment maps are entirely incorrect This discovery Is corroborated by Monterev's veteran fisherman. Antonio Pisanni. Pi- sanni alleges that the water at the end of the old Government mole has deepened from four to six fathoms in the last twen- ty years and that the beach beyond Del Monte has widened correspondingly. The comparatively recent formation of the sandhills at Seaside. the little town across the bay from here, is also said to have been caused by the ocean wash.
