TRAGEDY CLOSES
THEIR QUARREL
A Prominent Southern
Politician Fires Fatal
Shot.
Former Friends Fight in a
Kitchen and One Is
Killed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, jan 19--Last night
about O'Clock Thomas NJ Carroll shot
and killed John Vidal in the kitchen OF
the hotel at Pismo. of which Carroll is
one of the proprietors. As Carroll refuses
to talk. and as there were no witnesses,
the cause of the shooting is not known.
At the Coroner's inquest held to-day
the fact was developed that Carroll and
Vidal had always been friendly, and that
Vidal. with Carroll and Carrolls sister,
Mrs Mahan, were in the kitchen when a
quarrel arose over some trivial matter.
1t finally became fight, and Mrs Mahan
left the room.
Shortly after a shot was heard, and re-
turning she found Vidal dying. Carroll
gave himself up, and was brought to this
city by Deputy Sheriff McFaddin to-day.
His face was badly bruised Former Dis
trict Attorney Campbell has been retained
by Carroll, and self-defense will undoubt-
edly be his plea.
Carroll is we'll known, and for a few
years past has been quite prominently
identified in Democratic politics. Two
years ago he came within one vote of re-
ceiving the Democratic nomination for the
Assembly in this county.

COMMITTEES IN SESSION.
Gather to Sift the Flood
Of Legislative Material.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO. Jan. 19.-There was a meeting
of the Committee on Federal Relations
this evening. Thomas NJ. Nosler appeared
before the committee in behalf of the bill
introduced by Senator Lardner authoriz-
ing and providing the means Of collecting
and receiving from the United States
money advanced. disbursed and expended
by the State for the benefit of the Gov
ernment in supplying, arming and equip
ping its troops employed in aiding to sup
press the insurrection in 1861
Nosler stated that he had already ex-
pended 5000 in collecting data and inves-
tigating the claim of the State against
the Government. 1t appears that similar
bills authorizing the appointment of
James z. Hale and Thomas NJ Nosler to
collect the money due the State passed
two Legislatures, but were vetoed by
Governors Budd and Gage. The commit
tee decided to report favorably on the
matter.
The Senate Judiciary Committee met
this afternoon and effected organization.
The members of the Senate Finance
Committee were the guests of Chairman
Devlin at a dinner given at the Sutter
Club tonight. They held an Informal dis
cussion over matters that are likely to
come before them. The committee will.
meet tomorrow and organize. Other COM
mittees met and effected organization.

He was forced to come out again and
there were cries from different parts of
the house for some favorite song and,
as he could not please them all. he sang
another verse of Dolly Gray" Even

before, but the curtain had to be rung

The rumors that have been rife that
Stair e. Havelin, the Eastern theatrical

companies.

Los Angeles Theatrical Man
Receives Suspicious
Present.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Jan. 19-According to the
Journal. John c. Fisher, the Los Angeles
theatrical man and proprietor of "FIoro-
DORA to-day received, by express mes
senger, a pint bottle Of wine addressed
to his Office. The address was in type
writing, as was a note Of greeting on the
card tied around the neck of the bottle,
reading:
Dear Fisher: Drink this on the night
Of the one hundredth performance of your
play. The Silver Slipper May you have
many more
There was no signature to the note.
Fisher stook the bottle TO the box office
OF the Broadway Theater, where the cork
was pulled.
Some of the wine was poured into a
glass. 1t was Of a greenish color and had
a peculiar odor. Fisher lost little time
in carrying the bottle back to his office
where it was locked in the safe. 1t will

Tivoli.

With plenty of dash in the old-time
airs and ever popular choruses, the clas-
sic Gilbert and Sullivan opera THE MI
kado" was revived last night at the Tivoli.
In point of view of ella borateness of stage
setting and richness Of costumes the pres
ent production has probably never been
outdone in this city. With a new set of
scenery complete. and Japanese garp
which is of the richest and most accurate
III detail, the Tivoli produces an atmos-
phere which lends much to the charm of
this classic comic opera. From Yum Yum
to the chorus girls the variety and rich
ness of the quaint Japanese garb pro-
duce an effect which is well worth see
ing. The cast is strengthened by tho
presence of Caro- Roma, who makes her
initial appearance before a San Francisco
audience. Despite the unsightly makeup
which she labors under in the character
of katisha, her voice wins for her gen
erous applause. Edward Webb. the orig
inal Lord High Executioner of the first
London production, is the center figure of
the piece and proves himself an apt
mirthmaker. Hartman the Mikado
though assuming a minor character in
the present piece makes his inevitable hit
with the audience. Annie Myers wears
her kimona gracefully, and Arthur Cum
bingham, the Poo-Bah, sings his part
with his customary spirit.
