TRAGEDY At THE HOSPITAL
PATIENT JOHN O'NEIL KILLS
w. M. HOWARD.
Went Home Drunk, and Got Mad
Because His Supper Was
Not Hot.

The dining-room at the County Hos
pital was last evening the scene of a
bloody tragedy, in which a patient
named W. NJ. Howard was stabbed to
death by another patient named John
ONeil
1t seems that O'Neil had been granted
permission to come to the city yester-
day. and while here he managed to OBJ
tain enough liquor to upset his BRAIN
He did not return to the hospital until
late in the evening, and consequently
the regular supper hour had passed.
Howard, who waits on the table in
the main dining-room, got some food
for ONeil, however, and set it before
him. But it was not quite up to the
ONeil idea of what his supper should
be, and, ignoring the fact that he had
got drunk and overstayed his time in
town, he began abusing Howard be-
suit him.
O'Neil is "A years of age and an old
inmate of the hospital, as also was
Howard, whose age was Sc years. From
words the two men finally came to
blows ONeil got a large jack-knife
from his pocket, and catching Howard
about the waist plunged the weapon
twice into the latter's abdomen, and
cut him also on the head and leg, be-
fore the few other patients who were
near by could interfere.
The alarm was given, and DIR. White,
the Superintendent, was soon on the
scene, and while some of the attend
ants took charge of the aged knife
wielder others carried Howard to the
operating rooms, where the doctor pre-
pared to dress his wounds He died,
however, as soon as he was laid on the
operating table.
Dr. White at once notified Coroner
McMullen and Sheriff Johnson of the
unfortunate occurrence. The Coroner
took Howard's body to the Morgue,
while O'Neil was taken to the County
Jail.
There is State law which makes it
felony for any one to sell or give
liquor to an Indian, and many a man
has served a term in the penitentiary
for so doing. There ought to be an
other law to similarly punish any out
slider who supplies liquor to an inmate
of any hospital, asylum or other insti-
tuition of like character.

A HUNDRED DAYS.
Gaspar to Serve That Term for tn,
Theft of a Sheen.

In the City Justices Court yesterday
William Gaspar, alias Broken Nose, y
was found guilty of petty larceny, and
was sentenced to serve a hundred DAYS
in the County Jail.
On Wednesday night of last week the
carcass of a sheep was stolen from the
butcher shop of F. w. Biewener. at
Fourth and M streets, and the next day
Gaspar was arrested and charged with
having committed the offense.
Mr.. Biewener testified that the screen
had been cut from one of the windows
of his shop and the carcass taken out.
Paul Heigo, a waiter in a down. town
restaurant, testified that he bought the
carcass from Gaspar about $40 o'clock
Thursday morning; that Gaspar said
he had brought it from Rocklin, and
that he was going to return on the first
train. Witness paid a dollar for the
carcass
Officer Maley testified that Gaspar de-
MED any knowledge of the affair, and
insisted that he had not sold the meat
to Heigo nor anybody else.
In his own defense Gaspar said he
did not steal the meat, did not sell it
to Heigo, and had not been in the res
taurant in question for three years.
Justice Davis did not believe him, and
he was accordingly found guilty and
sentenced as before stated.

been oecasioned by falling on the keg
of bolts. The interposition of soft
hat might prevent an abrasion of the
skin in such a case.
w. H. Hugo was recalled, and
testified regarding the dies He saw
no dies in Sherburn's hand, and
thought he would have seen them II
he had had them. The dies shown
were those he took from Sherburns
machine.
DIR. w. E. Brooke assisted DR.. Atkin-
son in the autopsy, and gave similar
testimony The fracture was in the
temporal bone and not in the suture-
Milton Elliott's testimony was thai
he did not see the trouble, but saw
Francis lying ON the floor.
c. Valentine saw Francis walking
near the shop foundry, and he seemed
dizzy and sick. He fell near the she'd
where there were cinders. Witness
helped turn him over, and he complained
of his head. He fell ON his face, and wit
ness saw a mark on his forehead, that
looked as if it had just been made. 1t
was round.
P. Hines testified similarly. John
Morris made out Francis time caro-
when he said he was sick. He seemed
to be suffering pain. He heard after
ward of the trouble, and asked Sher-
burn what he struck Francis for, anu
he replied that Francis called MN
vile name. He suspended Sherburn LOT
ten days for fighting in the shop he
had a short time previous ground Sher-
burns dies. He had never known OF
any trouble between them before he
ground Sherburn's dies and left them
at the wheel, but did not know py
whom or when they were taken away
For the defense Miss Annie c. Weeks,
Principal of the Sacramento Grammar
School. testified to Sherburns charac
ter. he having attended her school, ana
said it was very good indeed.
Principal Pond of the High Schooi
testified similarly. He always consld-
cred Sherburn a manly young man, OF
good disposition and not quarreisome-.
J. w. Wilson testified to Sherpurn
good character and reputation. He had
sent Sherburn to drive the team that
caused so much trouble during the
strike. and many men had been very
bitter against him on that account, put
it was not the boys fault. He con-
sidered him honest and of good char
acter
T. B. Hall. H Wolf, E. H. Mckee and
others testified to his good reputation
for peace and quietness
The case was continued till this morn

TRAP AND TRIGGER.
Bluerock Shooting Season to Open
Next Sunday.

Next Sunday there will be a gather
ing OF shotgun experts at Eckhardt' 5
shooting grounds in East Park, when
the bluerock season will be opened.
For the last two or three years the
sportsmen of the city have had very
little practice at bluerocks, though the
sport has doomed in other parts of the
State. They are now manifesting con-
siderable enthusiasm in the matter.
however, and it is expected that many
matches will be- shot from now on until
the game season reopens next fall
Mr.. Eckhardt will have a set of fine
traps in readiness for the initial shoot
of the season, which will be open to
everyone who owns or can beg or Dor
row shotgun. The lessees of the
park are contemplating many improve
ments there this spring, which should
make it very attractive suburban
pleasure ground
1t is expected that s. A. Tucker. the
veteran representative of the Parker
gun, and H. McMurchy of the Smith
gun, who have national regulations as
trap-shots, will be here and participate
in the opening shoot. They are now in
San Francisco.

The new cup defender now being built is

been kept a profound secret, but it is
whispered that it will easily hold the cup.
America is rapidly coming to the front.
A good example of THIS is her famous
household remedy. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which has defended health for
half a century. In spite of many imta-
tons, no other remedy has been able to
supplant it. It holds the championship
for the defeat of all stomach Ills, such
as Indigestion, constipation, nervousness,
is also an excellent preventive and cure
of malaria and fever and ague. 1t is

of paper were substituted.
The concert program Was loudly an
plauded from beginning to conclusion.
and it was the general verdict that
there was not a poor number. The
Brothers were alert to see that every
performance was up to the high stand
ard established by past entertainments.
The Institute Band was happy in '.The
Night Wanderer,'' its opening number.
and every succeeding number was full
of grace and spirit
Robbie Stacks dancing of the eSail-
ors Hornpipe" was greatly enjoyed as
was the vocal quartet, Genshlea, Phin-
ney, Desmond and Longbottom. B. +.
Flood won laurels by reciting "Smiting
the Rock"
Edmund Fize]l, the wonderful boy
musician, made great hit in Fan
cies," finely executed cornet solo, and
he was followed by little Misses Edna
and Irma Farley in fancy dances that
were artistic and pleasing Mrs. J. H.
Coppersmith then sang Let Me Love
Thee with much finish.
THE Village Chimes" an instru-
mental quartet, by Hughes. Frizell
Azevedo and McCrabbe, was greatly
appreciated, as was 1.-THE Double
Eagle" by Professor Carpenters man
dolin and guitar club.
w. H. Sieberst of San Francisco made
great hit in his vocal specialties, some
songs, some recitations. He was a fa-
vorite by reason of his clever work. as
we'll as because of his accommodating
spirit, for he left San Francisco business
to favor the Brothers.
1.-THE Best Ever was the closing Sc
lection, by the Institute Band, and it
was cleverly rendered. There was
pleasing order of dances after the lit
erary and musical program, and every
body voted the entire entertainment
success.
P. J. Memory and W. F. Gormley
contributed largely to the success of
the entertainment by their skillful man
agement of floor matters They were
assisted by Thomas Schad, ]. w. Keat-

wives OF che waltz King.

Johann Strauss, the waltz king, was
scarcely laid away to rest In the Fried
hof when a series of disputes arose
over his possessions. Strauss secured
to his wife and stepdaughter, as well
as his sisters, moderate incomes for
life, and then made the Society of
Friends Of Music his helr-at-law. He
dlsinherited his brother. the we'll
known Eduard Strauss, and made no
provision for the destitute widow of his
brother Joseph. The chief effort to dis
pute the legality Of Strauss will is TO
be made by his second wife, from whom
he claimed that he was divorced.
When Strauss contracted his second
marriage both he and his wife were
Roman Catholics, and were united In n
Catholic church and with the rites of
that religion. The Austrian marriage
laws are exceptionally severe. and mar
ried Catholics can In this country Sc.
cure legal separation from one anoth-
er, but never an absolute divorce which
enables them to marry again. The re-
suit Is that Roman Catholics who have
secured separation resort to all sorts
Of evasions of the law in order to mar.
ry again. Johann Strauss receded from
Roman Catholicism and became Prot
estant, then emigrated to the Duchy OF
Saxe-Coburg- Gotha, resided there for
period, obtained an absolute divorce
from his wife and married third time.
This evasion Of the Austrian mar
riage lawsdeprived Strauss Of the court
favor which he had enjoyed, and II
seems certain that In the strict legal
sense his second wife Is his rightfuI
widow, whereas his third wife, fer
whom he has provided, had no authen.
tic claim on him. The Austrian laws Of
succession provide that wife can new
er be disinherited, but has always a
claim on at least one-third Of the prop
erty left by her husband, so that the
second wife of the great musician has
every prospect Of obtaining this share
Of his wealth. At present she is In
poor circumstances, and earns her liv-
ing In q Photographic studio in Berlin.

Walls Plastered with CoIr,.

Miss Daisy Dentz. Of DentzvllIe,
N. j., suburb Of Trenton, has prob
ably the largest collection Of coins in
New Jersey. Some of them are many
hundred years old, and they represent
the currencies of nearly every country
In the world. Some Idea of the size OF
the collection may be gathered from
the fact that the ceiling Of Miss
Dentz's boudoir is completely covered
with United States money, while the
four walls are hidden behind the coins
Of Asiatic, European, African and
South American countries. There Is
considerable history attached to this
collection, especially to the English
coins, which were found near Prince
ton In queer shaped hat by one of
Miss Dentz's relatives while in search
OF minerals. The hat is similar in shape
to those worn by the HessIan soldiers
during the revolution and Is stlll In
Miss Detnz's possession. There are
many valuable coins In her collection.
and were she to convert them all into
present American currency they would
yield quite snug Philadelphia

GENERAL TRADE IS COOP.
Reaction in the stock Market mas Hut
Little Effect.


Little EGeot.
r. G. Dun & Co. q weekly review OF
trade says: The reaction in the stock
market is not sign of anything outside
that market, but has caused many to
look for signs of reaction elsewhere.
Such signs have been hard TO find. II
has been for months wonder that the
demand for products was sustained at
rates exceeding past consumption in
any year, notwithstanding the general
rises in prices. But the demand does
not appear to abate. and the rise in
prices continues.
Wheat exports fall little below
last years, but in three weeks, -four
included, have been S,S65, SIT bushels
for Atlantic ports, against 9,29S, SS1
bushels last year, and l,021, ,99S bush
els from Pacific ports, against 907, 96l
bushels last year. But Western re-
ceipts have been 2l,759,S52 bushels,
against a3,09s, S97 bushels last year,
and even more impressive are the re-
ceipts of lS,5l5,93 bushels OF corn,
against 11,1T7,4S3 bushels last year,
and the exports of 9,20l, ,427 bushels,
against 5,94S, ,966 last year.
Further government reports have
been so credited abroad that cotton has
risen to 6.62 cents, but it comes for
ward more freely than in years OF max
imum crops.
When men pay So 10 SIS per tom more
than the latest quoted price for iron
products in order to get early deliver
les, it is because delay is threatened on
works or railroads or bridges, vessels
or machinery, promising profit many
times the cost OF q small fraction of the
material. In such circumstances as
in much of the reconstruction and ex-
pansion now going ON, present cost
counts for little compared with the
earning power of the finished product
in time like this.
