BRITISH PENSION BILL CURIOSITIES OF PERPETUAL PENSIONS AND NEW CHARGES ON THE CIVIL LIST. Lord Alcester, who died the other day, received a gift of nearly $100,000 from the British Government for his part in the bombardment of Alexandria in 1882. Had Lord Alcester rendered like or even much less creditable service to Charles II, he might have left behind him a perpetual pension to this day a charge upon the British budget. It is only ten years since the heirs of William Penn commuted for about $340,000 the perpetual pension of nearly $20,000 a year granted to the Penns in 1790 in compensation for the loss of their possessions in America. The descendants of Farmer Pendroll, who rendered Great Britain the questionable service of hiding Charles II in the Royal Oak, still enjoy the pension of $2,200 a year granted to their ancestor after the restoration. Most of the perpetual pensions have disappeared. When some came to be commuted they were found in the hands of persons in no way the descendants of the original pensioners, or even the heirs of their descendants. The earldom of Bath, carrying with it an hereditary pension of about $15,000 a year, became extinct in 1711, but the pension went on. Halt of it was commuted by Lord Melbourne in 1826 for $150,000, and the other for a like term only ten years ago. Mme. Modjeska said: "I shall not dwell upon the development of our political institutions. They (the Russians) have laughed to soon the belief that there was ever a Polish nation. They have restricted, if not wholly prohibited, the use of our language. Under such a condition could there be any organized effort of women? Why, it would be considered a political crime; it would bring its punishment. I cannot tell what the Polish women are doing, because to do so would bring punishment upon the heroic workers. "We have had a constant struggle for independence. An unholy alliance was formed to crush out our country, rob it of its free government and destroy our institutions. The gates have been closed. Men have destroyed Poland, but her women have stood guard at the gates of their country. It was they who preserved patriotism and honor in spite of Siberia, and what is worse, the lash, to the everlasting disgrace of the Russian Government. "Our enemies make a great mistake if they think they have destroyed us. As long as a Polish woman lives Poland will live. "We may have merited punishment for our frailties. God knows, maybe we have. We have heard much of the Roman and Spartan mothers. That is well, but I hope the world will hear more of the Polish mother. The Polish mother is waiting patiently for the insurrection, and if there is justice on earth she will not wait in vain." The speech was delivered to the World's Congress of Representative Women. FINANCES AT STANFORD. The teachers of Stanford University are looking for positions in other universities on the impression that the university founded by Leland Stanford will soon close its doors. They fear that the college will close because there is no money in the Stanford estate to pay for its maintenance, the estate being tangled up in a suit with the United States, which is going on in the federal courts. The probate court has no power to use the funds of the estate to keep the college on a firm footing. Some time ago the estate began to sell the brandies and wines that have accumulated in the wineries of the estate and the money derived from the sale was to be used in defraying the expenses of the institution. Meauwhile all the expenses of the university have had to be deducted from what would occur. It happened exactly when it, and the news proved so good that he went abroad. Later he London, and one day with his wife the Nottinghill omnibus, felt that action as during the first vision was peared. A man entered the omnibus was a living image of the murderer in Lees' vision. Lees whispered to "That is the 'Ripper.'" She laughed when the strange man left the bus and was lost. That night Lees again received tions that the "Ripper" was about mit another murder, and he had Scotland Yard. The head inspector with a smile of incredulity until Llewis's cars being severed at head. At this officer drew a card his desk and laid it before his visitation card, written in red ink, bore marks bloody fingers. The card read as if "To morrow night I shall again revenge, claiming from the class of who have made themselves most afraid to me, my ninth victim." (Signed) "JACK THE Ripper," P.S.-To prove that I am reaing the Ripper," I will cut the cars off my victim."a At these words Lees fainted. So it was the inspector that all that day centred his energies upon the prowow to cover the Whitechapel district. By dusk next day constables in clothes and detectives disguised as men were patrolling the courts and all Whitechapel. Notwithstanding their cautions, "Jack the Ripper" penetrated cordon, slew his victim and made him One car was completely severed victim's body, and the other was from her head by a mere abused. Lees removed to the continent, and while abroad the "Ripper" completed his murder. Shortly after that Lees returned gland, where he made the acquainting Roland B. Shaw, a mining stock boy New York, and Fred C. Leckwith his head Ws., who was financial progenant an American syndicate in London three gentlemen were dining one day Criterion, when Lees suddenly exeget "Great God," Jack the Ripper" has ceased another murder." Shaw looked at him and found it was 7:49 o'clock. o'clock a policeman discovered that a woman in Crow Court with her from ear to ear and her body bearing marks of the "Ripper's" handwork.

As the law now stands the Queen may grant pensions amounting to $6,000 a year, chargeable upon the civil list. There is tremendous pressure of needy persons upon that list, and the $6,000 a year is doled out in dribbles. The list is now a long one, as it has been added to during the whole reign of Victoria, besides including a few from her predecessors. The history of the efforts that preceded the granting of these pensions would make a curious chapter of human nation for the loss of their possessions in America. The descendants of Farmer Pendroll, who rendered Great Britain the questionable service of hiding Charles II in the Royal Oak, still enjoy the pension of $2,200 a year granted to their ancestor after the restoration. Most of the perpetual pensions have disappeared. When some came to be commuted they were found in the hands of persons in no way the descendants of the original pensioners, or even the heirs of their descendants. The carldom of Bath, carrying with it an hereditary pension of about $15,000 a year, became extinct in 1711, but the pension went on. Half of it was commuted by Lord Melbourne in 1826 for $150,000, and the other for a like term only ten years ago. Earl St. Vincent enjoys a perpetual pension of $2,500 a year, dating from 1676, and believed to have been conferred on his ancestor for infamous services to Charles II. There was an hereditary pension in the family of Lord Nelson, though he left no legitimate heir, and the Misses Ward, distant relatives of the family, have had $1,500 a year as a charge upon the civil list for more than fifty years. Other members of the family draw $17,000 a year. The late Duke of Marlborough, in need of ready money, commuted for about $500,000 the hereditary pension of the dukedom, amounting to nearly $20,000. The creation of perpetual pensions have been long cut of fashion in Great Britain, but hereditary pensions for two or three lives were conferred as late as 1868, when Lord Napier of Magdala received $10,000 a year for himself and his successors for his services in conquering King Theodore of Abysia. The present possessor of the pension, a man of no special distinction, has been enjoying it since 1890, and is likely to enjoy it for the next twenty years, as he is only 50 years of age and pensioners are notoriously long lived. The present Duke of Wellington is the last holder of the pension of about $20,000 a year for three lives granted to the great Wallingford. One of the oldest and most scandalous features of the British pension list lies in the sums paid to half a dozen persons out of the so-called 4½ per cent Barbados duties. The Assembly of the Island of Barbadoes made a grant in perpetuity in 1663 for the maintenance of the Government in the island, being the proceeds of a duty levied on exports. The grant was soon perverted and for nearly 200 years has been used to pension clergymen and the heirs of persons that were favorites of sovereigns long since dead. About $8,000 a year is still paid on this score, though the duties themselves were abolished more than fifty years ago. The remarkable age of some British pensioners is probably unmatched in any other civilized country. There are several pensioners of George III and George IV, still enjoying their pay, and pensioners whose pensions were given because of "all health" having lingered on twenty, thirty and forty years. Some pensioners have enjoyed their pensions since early youth. The number of pensions in return for the abolition of this or that office is remarkable. A "chaffwax" not long ago was enjoying nearly $5,500 a year. It had been his business when he worked to prepare the wax for sealing documents in chancery. An Englishman now living in New York says that he was once strongly urged by a friend to seek a place in a certain large concern upon the belief of his informant that the concern would soon come into the hands of the government and everybody found in the company's employment would be pensioned. The New Yorker by adoption looks back from his present advantage with satisfaction at the fact that he did not take the advice, as the concern has not come into the hands of the Government.

Some time ago the estate began to sell the brandies and wines that have accumulated in the wineries of the estate and the money derived from the sale was to be used in defraying the expenses of the institution. Meanwhile all the expenses of the university have had to be defrayed from the private income of Mrs. Stanford. Just as she的Stanford properties were being put on a first-class business basis, United States Attorney-General Olney started his big suit for $15,000,000 against the Stanford estate. This hadthe effectof checking proceedingsin probate looking to a speedy distributionof Stanford's estate and tying up things generally. It was this so it said,coupled withthe previous feelingof unrestthat has prevailedtoa greater or less degree ever sincethe senator's death; that stimulated someofthe educatorsto seek openings elsewhere,and setin circulationthe reportthatthe universityislikelytobeclosedfora season.

Modjeska, the well-known actress, from Warsaw, owing to a violent speech she made against Russia in Chicago. On February 27th an order, issued by the Russian Government forbade Mme. Modjeska from fulfilling an engagement at the Warsaw Theater in consequence of a speech she had delivered before the Chicago Art Institute on the subject of Polish women. Soon after this speech Mme. Modjeska was notified she could not appear on the stage within the Russian jurisdiction. In the course of her speech at Chicago As the law now stands the Queen may grant pensions amounting to $6,000 a year, chargeable upon the civil list. There is tremendous pressure of needy persons upon that list, and the $6,000 a year is doled out in dribbles. The list is now a long one, as it has been added to during the whole reign of Victoria, besides including a few from her predecessors. The history of the efforts that preceded the granting of these pensions would make a curious chapter of human nature. Victoria pensioned more than fifty years ago her masters in French, German, Italian, in writing, singing and dancing. Haydn, the Dictionary of Dates man, received from the civil list $125 a year. A sister of the Poet Keats was put on the list in 1860 for $400. Tennyson had a pension of $500, which he became prosperous, he was scrupulous to give to more needy literary men. William Watson, the poet, after a long struggle with poverty and ill health, now receives $500 a year. Victoria, early in her reign, gave $125 a year each to two men whose ancestors befriended Charles II, in the time of his adversity, a gift she would hardly repeat to-day. The learned Dr. Murray, editor of the new Oxford Dictionary, receives about $1,200 a year from the civil list. T. Adolphus Trollope had $1,000 a year, though he lived most of his active life in Italy. One of the most interesting features of the British pension list is the little group of political pensioners. A Cabinet officer is entitled to $10,000 while out of office, provided he needs such aid to maintain the dignity proper to his station. Mr. Gladstone, though far from rich, never accepted this pension. His great antagonist Disraeli accepted it early and with reason, for he was poor, though his wife, like Gladstone's, had a considerable fortune. Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, who is reputed a rich man, accepted the pension on retiring from office and was much criticised for his action. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

An interesting story is published detailing the apprehension of Jack the Ripper, the London murderer of unfortunate women, whose butcheries committed under the eyes of the police, while the Ripper escaped detection, filled the world with astonishment and awe some years ago. The Ripper proves to be one of London's most celebrated physicians, whose name however is withheld. He was a madman, and is now confined in an asylum. In order to account for his disappearance from society, a sham death and burial were gone through, and an empty coffin, which now reposes in the family vault at Kencal Green, is supposed to contain the mortal remains of the West End physician, whose untimely death all London mourned. Robert Lees, now proprietor of the School for the Higher Education of Workingmen in a London suburb, is the man who discovered the "Ripper." A few years ago Lees developed remarkable clairvoyant powers. He was in full possession of his powers when the "Ripper" committed his first three murders. One day he had a vision of the fourth murder in Whitechapel. He saw the whole scene, as well as the face and form of the murderer. So impressed was he that he told the Scotland Yard police, but they merely took notes of the place of his vision and the time that he predicted the next murder. A dispatch from Managua says that populace of the city rose en masse, calling the Government to refuse to accept the timatum and to resent the insult to them. Mobs went to the barracks and military band, with which it paraded streets. Wild enthusiasm prevailed and crowd filled the air with their shouts; "Hurrah for free Nicaragua and Americans," "Down with the English," "Death to the tyrants." The last dispatch from Corinto previous the cutting of the telegraph wires says: town is completely abandoned and in no mood. Robberies are being committed; the inhabitants still remaining are in no mood of further outrages. About fifty men still occupy the barracks, but no police has yet been organized. The Governor is about to send a protest to Admiral Stephenson informing him that he will hold responsible for all disorders and for losses that may be sustained by the habitants. The President has ordered that no Mail steamer shall call at Corinto. Nicaragua Government is sending out a note to European and other nations justifying its conduct during the present cident. Persons who sympathize with the affliction will rejoice with D.E.Carr of 1225 Harris Street, Kansas City.

SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS A new postoffice has been established at San Juan hot springs, called Talaga. Mrs. Maria Morris has been appointed postmaster. The County Game Warden of Sacramento arrested Manuel Foll, a fisherman, for having a sturgeon in his possession during the close season. Fells pleaded ignorance of the law, but was fined $50, which he paid. The Southern Pacific company paid its back taxes in fall to date and now owes the State nothing. The amount paid is $736,-069.44, of which $136,220.75 goes to the various counties and the rest to the State treasury. Madeline Pollard, who recovered $15,000 damages in her suit with Col. Breckinridge, but has not been able to collect the amount, sailed on the Champagne Saturday from New York as the companion of a charitable lady, who will make a four years' trip around the world. A band of 5,000 horses has been ordered slaughtered in Eastern Oregon, and the meat is to be canned and shipped to France. An effort will also be made to ship canned horse flesh to Japan. The horses are contracted for at the rate of $5 a head, and those not suitable for canning will be treated at the rendering works. First Assistant Secretary Simms of the Interior Department has returned to Washington from Florida, where he owns an orange grove. He says that the first cold snap of the past winter, which came in December, destroyed 2,500,000 boxes of unpacked fruit. Had every house in Florida been burned the loss would not have been less than resulted from the destruction of the orange trees. Near Guantanamo, Cuba, on April 18 there was a fierce battle between a band of 200 Spanish troops and the insurgents. The Spanish troops were greatly outnumbered and they were literally cut to pieces. Only four or five of them escaped to tell the tale. The insurgents gave no quarter. Orders had been given to take no prisoners and the insurgents butchered the 200 Spanish soldiers with their mashetes. Edith Elder, the young Stockton woman on trial for the killing of Frank Quien, her lover, was acquitted on the grounds of emotional insanity and justifiable killing. Quinn rad, under promise of marriage, wronged the girl. On the night of the killing she pleaded with him to keep his promise to marry her, and on his refusal she shot him and then shot himself before he could occur. It happened exactly as he had seen it, and the news proved so great a shock that he went abroad. Later he returned to London, and one day with his wife while in the Nottinghill omnibus, felt the same sensation as during the first vision when it appeared. A man entered the omnibus who was a living image of the murderer as seen in Lees' vision. Lees whispered to his wife: That is the 'Ripper.' She laughed, but when the strange man left the 'bus Lees followed. The man soon jumped into a cab and was lost. That night Lees again received premonitions that the "Ripper" was about to commit another murder, and he hastened to Scotland Yard. The head inspector listened with a smile of incredulity until Lees told of the victim's ears being severed from her head. At this officer drew a card from his desk and laid it before his visitor. The card, written in red ink, bore marks of two body fingers. The card read as follows: "To morrow night I shall again take my revenge, claiming from the class of women who have made themselves most obnoxious me, my ninth victim." (Signed) "JACK THE RIpper" "P.S.-To prove that I am really 'Jack the Ripper,' I will cut the cars off the ninth street." At these words Lees fainted. So impressed as the inspector that all that day he conducted his energies upon the problem of how to cover the Whitechapel district. By dusk next day constables in citizens' clothes and detectives disguised as mechanics are patrolling the courts and all alleys of Whitechapel. Notwithstanding these precautions, "Jack the Ripper" penetrated the door, slew his victim and made his escape. He car was completely severed from his victim's body, and the other was hanging from his head by a mere shred. Lees again moved to the continent, and while he wasoad the "Ripper" completed his sixteenth order shortly after that Lees returned to England, where he made the acquaintance of B. Shaw, a mining stock broker of New York, and Fred C. Leekwith of Broadwell, Wis., who was financial promoter of American syndicate in London. The gentlemen were dining one day in the baroness when Lees suddenly exclaimed, "Great God," "Jack the Ripper" has committed another murder." Shaw looked at his watch found it was 7:49 o'clock. At 8:10 lock a policeman discovered the body of woman in Crown Court with her throat cut in ear to ear and her body hearing all the sounds of the "Ripper's" nandiwork. After earnest appeals from the inspector, John Johnson, 33 years old, a coxswain on the cruiser Olympia, was killed last week while the crew was engaged in target practice off Coronado, the breech plug flying out and striking him. The remains were interred in San Diego the next day. On the way out to the cemetery seven sailors suddenly broke ranks and fled. One of them was seen on the streets about 11 o'clock the next morning. He had been in hiding all night, and was under the impression that the ship bad sailed. When informed that he was wrong, and the sailing hour had been changed to that evening, he got out of sight again; saying "that he would rather go to the desert and starve than go aboard the ship again." Hereafter the State of California is to become the purchaser of property sold for taxes, and those redeeming it will have to pay according to the following schedule: Ten per cent if redeemed within six months of date of sale; twenty per cent if redeemed within one year; forty per cent if redeemed within three years; eighty percent if redeemed within four years; one hundred per cent if redeemed within five or any greater number of years; and seven per cent interest on all deferred payments. George Nottingham robbed the station agent at Walnut Creek, in the northern part of the State, at the point of a pistol and three got married on the proceeds. Edgar Jones, an eighteen-year-old boy, was Nottingham's accomplice and turned State's evidence at the last moment and told how the crime was committed. Nottingham told him he was broke and proposed that they rob the station agent. Jones said he did not wish to commit a crime. The day before the robbery Jones met Nottingham and Hattie Scott, now Mrs. Nottingham, and they all talked about the robbery. Jones consented to join Nottingham and they went together and committed the robbery. Nottingham took all the money, married the girl and was arrested.

She left a letter to her sister, directing how her effects were to be distributed, but her wounds healed and she recovered. A jury in the San Francisco Superior Court rendered a verdict awarding Richard S. Heath $2,500 damages in a libel suit against the Examiner. Heath is the fellow who was twice tried at Freno for the alleged murder of Louis McWhirter two years ago, in both of which trials the jury disagreed. Some months ago the Examiner published a statement that Heath was in a room fight in one of the hotels in the city. It appears that the paper was in error and it corrected the statement. Heath brought suit for libel, claiming $10,000 damages. A stay of proceedings has been granted pending an appeal. A remarkable surgical operation was recently performed in San Diego, which thus far has resulted successfully, with every prospect of the recovery of both mother and child. It was the caesarean operation, which under any circumstances is difficult and dangerous, but which, in this case, was peculiarly difficult owing to a malformation of the pelvis. Physicians performed the operation of opening the abdominal walls and recess. Sutures were then introduced. The mother and child are doing well. The Interstate Commerce Commission in session at Denver rendered a decision of importance to orange-growers in Southern California, granting railroads terminating in California, and their connections, authority to make lower rates on oranges to the Atlantic seaboard cities than to intermediate points. This enables California growers to market their oranges on the seaboard in competition with imported oranges. The old rate was ninety cents; the new rate will probably be sixty cents. The reduction was secured through the efforts of A.H. Naftzergger of Riverside, President of the Southern California Fruit Exchange. At Houston, Tex., one night last week Dr.J.K.Simmons was called to see a sick child at the residence of Mrs.Robert Owen. He had written the prescription, and was giving the directions as to the medicine when Owen entered, and without saying a word, put a pistol to Simmons breast and pulled the trigger. Simmons staggered to his feet and pulled his pistol, but fell dead before he could use it. Owen then shot his wife and left the house, going to a hotel, where he blew out his brains. Owen was a stockman, and had been married about eighteen months. In January he came to Texas from New Orleans, and two weeks ago he and his wife separated. Mrs.Owen will recover. The Yachting World of London learns from good authority that if Valkyrie and Ailsa prove fairly equal in their contests on the other side, both may be brought across the Atlantic to decide in American waters which will be the more likely contest for the America's cup. A conspicuous Clyde yachtman, whose name is withheld, told a Yachting World reporter that neither Valkyrie III nor Ailsa would bring back the cup. "The British designers," he said, "do not go far enough. Americans, if given a chance, always did and always will build us. The Defender will be a terror, no matter how fast our boat may be, and the American's canvas will take her ahead in the races." Pretty Mahal Koha wrote in response that he is been whispered about the custom-house and appraisers' buildings in San Francisco that extensive franks were being committed in the importation of sugar from Hongkong, and the government was losing thousands of dollars in duties. The alleged frauds consisted in undervaluing the importations. Fully fifteen sugar importers are accused of placing too low a valuation on their importations, and their cases have been and are still under investigation by Collector Wise. The importers have been permitted in some instances to withdraw their shipments, but not until after they were notified that they may be called upon to pay an increased amount of duty and perhaps a heavy penalty. It is nearly 3,000 miles from San Francisco to New Orleans as the Southern Pacific cars make the trip, yet John Rigoulot started from the first-named city to walk the distance Friday morning. Rigoulot is a Frenchman and an architect. He came West a year and a half ago with over $10,000 in his pocket and a concession for privileges at the Midwinter fair. The venture was not profitable and he lost his money. Mrs. Rigoulot and her two children left Friday morning for New Orleans by train through the kindness of members of the French colony who interested themselves in her behalf. Rigoulot decided to set out on foot with two companions who were about to attempt the trip His earthly possessions when he kissed his wife and babies good-bye consisted of a packet and a nickle coin. As a sequel to the sensational robbery of The Sonoma county treasury last December, auit has been commenced by the county against ex-Treasurer Stofen and his bondmen. It is alleged that on day of the robbery Stofen appropriated and converted to his own use $7,815 79, the amount of money secured by the robbers who held up The Treasurer and afterward locked him up in the vault. It is not claimed that Stofen took the money, but the law makes it necessary to allege the appropriation and conversion, as the robbery, according to the plaintiff's interpretation of the law, does not constitute any ground of defense. Stofen and his bondmen claim the county treasury was unsafe and that he was in no way blame when the robbery took place, and should not be held for the loss of funds. They have employed eminent counsel and will make a stubborn fight. Jilted by the girl he loved and despondent because he was without money or friends in America, Ludwig Grossman, an ex-lieutenant in the Austrian army, ended his life in his room in Chicago other night under melancholy circumstances. Shortly before the body was discovered the odor of gas was noticed coming from his room. The door was forced and he was found lying on the bed, and near his mouth a rubber tube attached to the gas jet. A passport issued by the Austrian government and 10 cents were the only property found in his possession. His home is in Prague, Bohemia. He was engaged to be married to a young girl who lived in Prague. He went into the army at 21, but when he came home he found the woman had married another. To forget his misery he sailed for America, but he had no friends here and could find no employment. When the cruiser Olympia came down to San Diego from Santa Barbara last week much surprise was manifested when she failed to come inside the harbor, but cast her anchor at least four miles off shore. Efforts were made to cause the department to order her inside, and an answer was received that last dispatch from Managua says that the place of the city rose en masse, calling on government to refuse to accept the ulm and to resent the insult to the natives. Mobs went to the barracks and got a boy band, with which it paraded the men. Wild enthusiasm prevailed and the filled the air with their shouts, crying "Hurrah for free Nicaragua and the Indians." "Down with the English," and in to the tyrants." The Yachting World of London learns from good authority that if Valkyrie and Ailsa prove fairly equal in their contests on the other side, both may be brought across the Atlantic to decide in American waters which will be the more likely contestant for the America's cup. A conspicuous Clyde yachtman, whose name is withheld, told a Yachting World reporter that neither Valkyrie III nor Ailsa would bring back the cup. "The British designers," he said, "do not go far enough. Americans, if given a chance, always did and always will outbuild us. The Defender will be a terror, no matter how fast our boat may be, and the American's canvas will take her ahead in the races." Pretty Ethel Mabel Ruth, who lived with her parents at the Langham hotel in San Francisco, ran away and married Joel C. Cohen because her mother objected to the match. The couple met at San Jose Monday last and had a civil marriage ceremony performed. They dreamed away a few days of wedded bliss at the Vendome hotel, and went back to the city to receive maternal forgiveness and blessing. But the sought-for pardon is slow in coming. Mrs. Cohen's mother, who is the wife of John Walker, a Fresno capitalist, is a proud, dignified woman of pronounced character and determination. She cherished her daughter, who is as talented as she is pretty, and had opinions of her own as to the qualifications of the person worthy of her hand and heart. "Mamma has not spoken to me since I came back," she said the other day, "but I am in hopes she will become reconciled before long. She was very much opposed to my marrying Mr. Cohen, and I just had to run away, don't you know; but Jack is on my side and will help me—won't you Jack?" And the bride looked longingly at her big brother's face. At Weaverville the other day a prisoner for whom a mob had gathered to lynch escaped by being permitted to walk out of jail and mingling with the mob, who did not know him. An attempt was made at 12 o'clock at night to lynch Charles Williams and Moses Williams, the former serving a life-term at Folsom, and who was brought back to Weaverville to testify in a murder case. Moses was the day before acquitted of the murder. Charles had confessed to the crime and had implicated Moses in the murder at his preliminary examination, and had pleaded guilty at his trial in the Superior Court. But when pat on the witness stand to testify against Moses he refused to say a word, and instructions were given to acquit. The people became incensed and a mob was organized. Two ropes were taken from a butcher-shop, and the mob went to the jail, but when they entered and made their way to the cell where the men were confined they found them gone, and after a vain search dispersed. The night watchman had received an inkling of the proposed lynching and told the sheriff. The two officers quietly stole to the jail and unlocking the cells, took the two men out. Moses was lifted over the fence and taken up the creek back of town, where for several hours he was guarded by the Sheriff and watchman. Charles Will- When the cruiser Olympia came down to San Diego from Santa Barbara last week much surprise was manifested when she failed to come inside the harbor, but cast her anchor at least four miles off shore. Efforts were made to cause the department to order her inside, and an answer was received that the men had deserted in such numbers at Santa Barbara that it was thought best not to come in. During the stop of the officers of the Olympia were singularly uncommunicative, and the men were not allowed to dally on shore, merely coming in for the mail with petty officers and immediately returning. Visitors on the vessel learned that over sixty men had deserted since the cruiser left San Francisco. Some of the men told the visitors that the food served them was insufficient in quantity and poor in quality, and that the officers absolutely refused permission to buy fresh food on shore to make out a decent meal. The Olympia would be unable to do effective work at Corinto even if ordered there, on account of the lack of men. Officers deny the charges of the men and say the food is good. Sheriff Burr of Los Angeles left for Salt Lake or Denver a few days ago with requisition papers for El Hammond, the County Tax Collector who absconded about eight years ago, leaving a shortage of $11,000. Proceedings were brought against Hammond's bondsmen, but the defalcation was never settled, and suits are still pending in court. Hammond was recaptured in Arizona soon after his flight, but escaped from the officers. It was rumored that the surrender of his plunder to the officers was the price of his liberty, but this was not generally believed, as it is probable the amount he embuzzled was squandered before he fled. When next heard of Hammond was reported to be chopping wood for a living in a Canadian forest. About a year ago the report came that he was dead. His bondsmen recently learned that he was still alive and in the United States. His location becoming known, the Sheriff quietly slipped away to bring him back. Hammond lived at El Monte when elected Tax Collector, and was considered an honest vaquero. After taking up his official residence in Los Angeles he fell from grace, his downfall being due to women, on whom he spent considerable money. Findings himself short in his accounts at the expiration of his term, he fled, leaving his wife in almost destitute circumstances. She supported herself and aged mother by working in a box factory until some weeks ago, when an aunt took her to Fresno and started her in business in a little store. Burr has returned, but El Hammond is not in sight.
