The San Francisco Examiner OF

each subscribing $4,000"
This action, coming as it does on the
eve of the acquiring of right of way
over private lands between this place
and Hazen by the Southern Pacific, and
the additional fact that all linden lures
are made in favor Of that company
would indicate that whatever develop
ment is to occur will come from the
Southern Pacific.
Several OF the gentlemen named IN
the articles OF incorporation papers are
prominent in Southern Pacific circles,
and there is now little doubt but that
the promise OF Right OF Way Agent
Pattison that a road would be under
course OF construction between this place
and Hazen within the next sixty days
would be realized.
Some are OF the opinion thai tbs
present activity of the Southern Pacific
as regards the HazenFallon branch il
induced by the plans of the Western
Pacific, which is said to have an eve
upon the Carson Sink and its posi-
bilites. 1t is even talked at this late
day that the latter company may
change their original plans and change
their route across the Central Nevada
mountrins to point in the neignbor-
hood OF Austin.

LAWRENCE SENTENCE
IS AFFIRMED

B. r. McCabe, attorney for II. c.
Lawrence, receive Wednesday notice
OF the decision OF the State Supreme
court, rendered on Tuesday, October
10, affirm ny the judgment OF the lower
court in the Lawrence case.
The decision rendered was the re-
suit OF an appeal taken by Attorney
McCabe, who defended Lawrence in
his trial in the district court upon the
grounds that the lower court erred in
the admission of testimony. The
affirming OF the judgment by the
Supreme court means that Lawrence
will have to serve his sentence of
fourteen years, inflicted for assault
with intent to kill. As he is now
flfty-four years old, and with credits
for good behavior, he could not hope
to get out OF prison for eleven years
longer, it is not likely that he will live
out his sentence.

right when l had opportunity to SPEAK
to her. The asyium attendants treate
her well, and to this l owe much foi
having her with me now."
Ramlge is a well-known mining man
Of Goldfeld. With his wife and chill

MINES
Churchill County Has Many
Promising Prospects Under
Development.
Outside Capital Already Being At
tracted.

Churchill county mining enthusiasts
are all agog, over the promising aspect
OF the different properties now under
course of development, and it is con-
flently prophesied that short time
hence will witness an influx OF mi ing
men seeking investment, hitherto un-
known in this section.
Sheriff Robert Shirley and James
Smitten returned the first of the week
from the Sand Springs Mining com
pany's mine, AM they are enthusiastic
as regards its future. Messrs. Gregg
and Kilker who have contract for the
sinking of a titty-foot shaft are down
twenty-five feet, AMI the quality OF the
ore encountered con in les 10 inpfo5c,
and what il considered equally i'm
portant the ledge is constantly widen
ing until now at the depth mentioned
it is more than three feet in width.
Little doubt is entertained by knowing
ones Of the permancy of this property
and it is now con ,idered past the ex-
perimental stage and is now more than
a mere prospect.
Wednesday Robert Shirley received
an assay from sample OF the ore
taken out at depth OF eight feet and
it showed value OF gold OF $ll.l6.
Some very fattering offers have been
received for the Sand Springs property
by the owners, bat TO date none have
emb Jdisd what is considered fair
value for the mine.
Eagleyile mining properties continue
to look up, and several deals have been
made in that section of late that pres
ages more rapid deveiopm ent for the
camp than has ever been known be fore.
Several properties have been bonded,
AMI the coming season will witness un-
precedented mining activities in the
eastern part OF the county.
In the meantime prospecting parties
are searching the hills OF this section
in great numbers. Even now there
are NJ less than h llf dozen outfits in
tn. Sanl Spriags section, that have
worked north from ronopah. Many o.

lis and in Anne Arundel county and
to furnish steam for heating through
out the city, also to buy, construct
and operate plants, electric railroads,
electric cars and other means of trans
portation by electricity, to purchase
and construct line equipment. to lay
pipes or conduits underground and
installing wires where necessary, TO
erect poles and wires for furnishing
electric current or all purposes, for fur
nishing steam for heating power, TO

chinery, telephones and other appli-
ances, to build and operate telephones
and telegraph lines and equipment
and to do all other necessary work

eral Laws of the State.
The incorporators met today in
Baltimore at the Hotel Rennert for
the purpose of organizing and elect
ing officers. The capital stock of the
company is $50, 900, divided in four
thousand shares of par value of 50
each. This capital stock will be in
creased later on. The first order of
business after the company elects its
officers will be to draw up suitable
ordinance 10 be presented to the City
Council for its approval, and to take
up the matter of issuing the bonds
and placing them onRthe market
On June IL, at a special committee
meeting of the Council, before whom
a representative of the Maryland
Light, Heat and Power Company ap-
peared, the question of granting a
franchise to the company was favor
ably considered, and the committee
returned a favorable report to the City
Council the same evening. City
Counsellor Riley advised the granting
of the franchise with such restric
tions as the other companies are now
operating and this franchise, it is said,
will be issued on an ordinance which
the company will submit after its ofii
GERS are elected at today's meeting.
The City Council passed unanimous
vote on the Counsellor's decision rel
etive to granting an ordinance when
the papers are presented in proper form
When the Power Company is in
working order it proposes to lay under
ground conduits for all wires from
West street around the Circles, down
Main street and Maryland avenue. 1t
is said the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company is favorable to
this end. and it is thought the Wes-
tern Union, Postal and other compa-
MES may then remove the unsightly
poles from the Circles andgprominent
streets and put the wires under
ground.

TWO MEN FALL SIXTY FEET.
They Take Frightful Plunge From
The Top of The New
Mess Hall.

Another serious accident took place
this morning ON the new mess hall in
which two men were badly injured.
After falling over sixty feet and strik-
ing among mass Of building mater
lal they live to tell the tale in spite
of the fact that it is reasonable to pre-
sume that they would have been killed
instantly.
The men were both iron workers
and were working on scatfold near
the top of the building. The men.
who are Edward Norwood, of Balti-
more, and George Loeback, of Cleye-
land, O., had almost completed the
work they were engaged upon when
the scaffoId slipped. Before they
could recover themselves the entire
scaffold gave way and precipitated
them to the ground Iu their descent
they struck protruding beams, which
caused them to turn about in the ter
rible fall to the ground. When fellow
workmen hurried to their lescue it
was found that they were both uncon
scious and suffering from numerous
cuts and bruises.
Norwood soon regained conscious
ness and stated that he did not feel
much the worse for the fall with the
exception of bad cut on his fore
head Loeback, however, was injured
internally and was hurried to the Ma
val Academy hospital. where a super
fetal examination failed to reveal any
broken bones. He was suffering great
pain from internal Injuries and was
given a sleeping draught. Later he
was removed to bis boarding place on
East street. 1t is not thought that
his injuries will result fatally. al.
though the real extent of his injuries
could not be learned. There were two
other accidents of q minor nature al
the Academy today, but no one was
seriously injured.

MANY PARDONS WERE ASKED.
Governor Warfield Held a Session
At Executive Department
This Morning.

Governor Warfield had several appli
cations for pardon for his considera-
| tion today after an absence from the
CITY for over two weeks. No pardons
were granted, but he promised to in
yesJigate several cases and if they were
| deserving he would exercise executive
clemency.
EMrs. nj. Hobbs, of Baltimore, asked
for the release of her son, Joseph, who
is serving a term of one year for lar
ceny. The case will be investigated.
An application was received for the
pardon of r. J. RYAN, alias McCabe,
who is serving a one year jail sentence
in Baltimore ON the charge of obtain
ing money by false pretenses. Rev. A.
J. Burkhart and Louis Cassard, who
are interested in the case. stated that
the man was afflicted with consump-
tion. If the statemtn Mt of the jail
physician recommends a pardon it
will be granted.
John Mullen stole chickens in Wash
ingon county where that seems to be
the sole pleasure of life to the colored
residents. He was sentenced TO nine
months and he has wife and three
children to provide for and the resi-
dents of his loality are greatly N need
of help he desires freedom. 1T no pro-
tests are received when the case has
been advertised he will be released.
After lying dormant for over a year
the application for o pardon in the
case of Oh aries Veasey, who commit
ted murder in Cecil county in 1889
was taken up. He was represented by
Attorney John Watson, who produced
some strong recommendations for the
release OF. Veasey. The man has. served
nearly half of his sentence and as
later evidence has shown that he COM
mitted the killing as an act of self de-
Tense the case will be advertised.
There is every reason to believe that
the pardon will be granted.
During the course of the session
Rev. Charles NJ. Jacobs, colored. APP
peared before the Governor and stated
that it was his desire and that of sew
eral others associated with him TO bet
ter the condition of the oolored people
of the state. He stated that it was
their desire to teach their people 10
become good servants and to lead them
from their immoral lives. The Gov
ernor stated that he was heartily in
sympathy with their efforts to have
the colored people lead moral lives and
become good servants and promised to
make donation to help the good
work along.
Anna Stewart, colored, appeared in
behalf of her husband, who had been
sent o Jail for engaging in the pleas
ant pastime of throwing a lamp at her
head at their home in Baltimore.
She told a sad tale to the Governor
and it is within the range of possi-
bilities that Stewart will be pardoned.
