UNFORTUNATE OCCURRENCE.
FATAL RESULT OF A FIGHT
YESTERDAY.
John Sherburn Strikes George M.
Francis-Death Of tho
Latter.

A most unfortunate encounter took
place in the locomotive machine shop CT
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
yesterday AFTERNOON, resulting in the
death Of George NJ. Francis. a young
man about a years old, who worked
in that department.
John Sherburn also works in the shop,
and the men have not been ON good
terms since they We're at Santa Cruz
together, both being members of Com
pany Il of the volunteers when they
were stationed there. The exact cause
OF the original trouble is not known, but
the feeling continued after they had re-
turned.
Young Sherburn spoke frankly of the
affair last night to a Record Union"
| representative.
Il had no idea of killing him or doing
him serious HARM said he. land can
not believe that it was my blow that
caused his death My hand has been
sore for several days, as 1 hurt it at
the Athletic Club while praoticing, and
II do not believe that I could have
struck him hard enough to produce any
such result
We had not spoken for many months,
as we had some difficulty at Santa Cruz,
and had nothing to do with each other
since. Since our return he has been,
telling things about me that were not
true, and has tried to set my shop
mates against me, and they have been
joshing me lately on his account To-
day he said something to me, and I
replied. He called me a vile name, and
l hit him with my fist, and he fell. I
suppose l knocked him down. 1 do not
!, tr,1y CIV 1a1x IL,
might have done so, for I was very
angry at his remark
When he got up he said: You won't
| leave this shop l don't know what he
meant but that was what he said. I
was taking out my dies to be ground
when he spoke to me first. He went
back to his work and cleaned his ma
chine and oiled it. He afterward went
to the foreman and asked leave to go
home, and left the shop at O'Clock
That is all 1 know about it. I would
rather have put up with the insult than
to have struck him, if I had supposed
there would be so serious a result. I
am very sorry it happened"
1t is not yet known who witnessed
the affair, or how much they saw
Francis left the shop to go home, and
shortly afterward he was seen sitting
| near the Sixth-street gate and COM
planned of feeling sick. Shortly after
ward be became unconscious, and the
Railroad Hospital ambulance was sent
| for, and he was taken to the hospital,
where he died a couple of hours later,
the physicians considering the cause of
death to be apoplexy
Young Sherburn went down to the
police station and surrendered himself
to Chief Dwyer about 10 o'clock last
night, accompanied by his father, and
was later released on giving a bond for
$1,000. He is well spoken of by his
comrades who We're at Santa Cruz and
his friends here, all Of whom express
much regret at the unfortunate affair
Both families are greatly distressed
over the lamentable result Francs
leaves wife and child, and has a
brother in Weinstock, Lubin & Co.'S
store He also leaves a father and
mother.
An autopsy will be made on Francis
to determine the cause Of his death, and
an inquest will be held later

CARLISM IS DEAD ONCE MORE.
Spanish NJ Monarchy Firmly Established
and Carlos Has No Show.

spanisa, Monarchy Firmly Established
and Carlos Has No Show.
London, Jan. H.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of The Times, in q letter re
viewing the situation In Spain, says:
1.-The prospects OF Carlism is waning.
The CarKsts themselves complain that
Don Carlos allowed Z great opportunity
to slip when, six weeks ago, the coun-
try was filled with dismay and indig-
nation at the price Of defeat. He might
have had hope Of success then, but
now the enthusiasm OF even his ardent
admirers Is chilly. and the general
opinion Is that he has little chance. the
subject is being dropped, the people
realizing that salvation is not to be
had that way. This result is not due
to the suppression Of Carlist propa-
ganda. On the contrary. the govern
ment displays the greatest tolerance.
THE monarchy Is firmly established.
and the Carlists themselves are too
strongly interested in the industries
and welfare Of the country to risk its
ruin through revolution. The clergy.
owing to the popes influence, are much
less irreconciliable than formerly.
THE only danger lies in the Basque
provinces. but even there the people
would not fight unless they were well
paid. No doubt the pretender might
succeed II he could win over the army.
but there is no sign that the army Is
10 inclined"

A TEMPORARY INSANITY PLEA

The Generals Daughter and Other
Witnesses Testified rs to His Changed
Condition After the Publication of
General Niles Statement.
Washington Jan. 2S.-The case of
Commissary General Charles =. Eagan,
charged with conduct un5e coming an
officer and gentleman, and with con
duct tending to the prejudice Of good
order and military discipline. Is now
In the hands OF the court martial ap-
pointed to try him. YESTERDAY the tax
ing Of testimony was closed and argu-
nents of counsel submitted. The tria
had lasted three days, and consumed
less than eight hours OF actual sitting.
The attendance at the court martial
was much larger yesterday than at any
other time since the trial began. and
among the spectators was score Of
ladies', Several Of them were friends
Of General Eagan's daughter. who was
called as a witness, while others were
attracted by curiosity. The testimony
at the closing session Of the court was
directed largely to establishing the
fact that the general had lost his men
tai balance as a result Of the charges
made against him by General Miles.
His daughter and her husband told of
the generals changed condition, and
intimated that they had great fears
that he might at any time kill his ac-
cuser. Mr.. Mckee. a lifelong friend,
stated that at that time he believed
him actually insane. The facts In this
h,.N. ,rht utv NptrlN
by Mr.. Worthington in his efforts to
show that General Eagan at times was
wholly irresponsible.
A dramatic incident OF the trial was
the testimony Of the generals daugh-
ter Mrs. Hopkins, In which she de-
scribed her fathers appearance on the
day he first read General Miles state
ment Standing In the door OF his house
with the newspaper containing the evil
dence in his hand he exclaimed Wild
ly: ~ have been crucifed by General
Miles" He could think Of nothing
else nor talk of anything else than that
General Miles had ruined his life. He
was from that time in an alarming
condition, and when witness was com
PEELED to go TO New York she had re-
turned almost al once to help care for
her father. The witness spoke with
much feeling in regard to her father s
changed condition. DE- w. f. Hop
kns, of California and New York cor
roborated his wife's testimony, and
added that General Eagan couid not
eat nor sleep normally.
Other old acquaintances testified that
General Eagan never used pOfane or
vulgar language, and that he had al
ways been mild before the publication
of General Miles charges.
Secretary Alger was among the
witnesses called. He said he recalled
"A conversation he had with General
Eagan shortly after General Miles had
given his testimony. General Eagan
came into his office in an excited state
of mind and said It was his wish to
prefer charges against General Miles
for what he had said. II told him.

ty to officers who testified before the
commission he could not do 80"
