Beports on the Department of Jtu tier. Washington, November 25 In the an nual rerort of Attorney-General Brewster he suggests that all the accounts of the Chief Supervisors of Elections be taxed in open Court under the inspection and examination of the several District Attor neys or their sworn assistants. The accounts must then be forwarded to the proper department for further examina tion and reduction If deemed advisable and necessary. He sajs tho Federal election laws are of the highest import ance to the general welfare, and their proper execution i3 a matter of prime necessity. Their abuse, on the oth er hand, is a greater public wrong to be guarded against by appropriate legislation.

The Attorney-General directs the attention of Congress to the want of proper legislation for criminal cases. In preparing indictments," he eays," for offenses against the laws ot the United States it Is found neces sary to follow the common law forms of the last century, with all the technicalities, verbosity of descriptions, repetitions and the precise statements formerly required. whereby that which should be simple and concisely written accusations become lengthy and painfully confused masses of descriptions and allegations wholly unintelligible to the dependent, who is called upon to answer, or to the jury selected to try the case. To reduce the pleading to a plain and comprehensive statement of the facts would serve equally to the advantage of tho Government and the aercnaant, and tnere is no reason why an indictment ought not to be adjudged sufficient and good in law. which charges the crime suostantiauy in the language OF THE ACT PROR rBITING CRIME And prescribing the punishment, or so plainly that tho nature of the offense charged may be easily understood by the jury.

When it is necessary to describe or make an averment of any written or printed instrument, as the law now stands, such instrument must be copied into the indictment with a literal exactness equal to a photographic reproduction. The omission of a word that appears almost Indescribable among the lines and flourishes, created by the skill of the engraver or penman, would be a fatal defeat that might enable a guilty man to escape punishment. The Attorney-General points to the evils, omissions and defects in the present law in cases of murder, manslaughter, larceny, in proceedings in the nature of demurrers. motions to quash challenges, and submits the draft of a bill designed to afford a remedy. In connection with the subject of jury duty, he says: "It is the belief and common report that the business of jury-flxlng flourishes to an alarming extent in the District of Columbia.

It is as certain that men live and support their families, and even become rich, in this nefarious profession as that the jury sys tem no exists. That unscrupulous men should safely conduct a lucrative business in debauching juries in the District of Columbia should occasion no surprise when, out of the twenty -six jurors such as usually serve, it is a fact that the jury fixer would become acquainted with at least two or three of them in a few hours, and that would give him a strong beginning in his efforts to thwart justice. With but twenty- six jurors serving for three months, it would not require one-third of that time ior a combined FORCE OF THE JURY-FIX ER3 To become thoroughly acquainted with the habits, characters and business of each iuror. and the influences, if any. that could bo used to reach him and bring mm witnin tneir power, men, again, what is there to prevent one or more well- dressed and apparently respectable-looking rogues placing themselves in the way of the United States Marshals or his deputies, to be brougnt into Court as tales men and serving upon juries to acquit their friends or confederates The Attor ney-General recommends that the jurisdiction of the United States District and Circuit Courts lor the judicial district of Maryland be extended, for tne purpose of securing the trial in such Courts and before juries drawn from the entire State of Mary land, of cases involving crimes committed in the District of Columbia against the United States.

The Federal Treasury, he says, is the great center of allurement and temptation. Inroads are made upon it through all avenues by which it can be approached. All the plans to defraud the Government, no matter where contrived. are mostly consummated in Washington. and when the guilty parties are arrested their trial must of necesbity take place be fore a drawn in the District of Colum bia.

The arrest of one set of defendants brings to them the sympathy and active aid of all othersengaged in similar schemes. If the defendants are wealthy, as is often the case, by a liberal expenditure of money they secure the acquaintance aDd FRIENDSHIP OF PROMINENT MEN, Who are of a social disposition and whose open and public association and com panionship with the defendants is not without its helpful effect. When a case is called for trial the Government stands alone and opposed by many disadvantages, while the defendants, aided not only by their wealth and the encouragement'nnd influence of their friends, but by a certain feeling ot indifference which seems prevail in Washington concerning such crimes, are permitted to depart from the Courtrooms triumphing in their acouittal. thus escaping punishment and scandaliz ing tne administration ot justice, sucn has been the case before and such will be the case again, so long as the National Treasury is confided solely to the protec- tectionof local juries. The Attorney-Gen eral renews his recommendations that the system of paying United States Marshals be changed from fees to salaries, and that additional legislation be had to protect the executive and civil officers of the Government in performing their duties and against outrages committed upon them because they have faithfully performed them.

Attention is also called to the fact that the Legislature of Utah refuses to op. propriate funds for the execution of tbe Territorial laws under congressional legis lation. If this legislation is to bo niiir-tained, he says, special appropriations must oe made annually to meet tno demands of justice. A BRUTE, Whose Pnnlfthsuent wa Xot Hi If Severe Enough. Hornellsvtlle (N.

November 26. George Quackenbush is a prominent farmer in the town of Savannah, Wayne county. He has the reputation of being very passionate and vindictive. One day in May last some cattle belonging to a neighboring farmer broke into one of Quackenbush 'a fields. He took a shotgun and started out, swearing he would kill them.

His wife followed him into the yard and protested against his shooting his neighbor's cattle. This angered him and he told her unless she returned to the house and attended to her own affairs he would shoot her. Their two little chil dren, one a three-year-old girl and tbe other a bny of 5 years, followed their mother and stood by. holding her by the dress. Airs.

vuackcnDusn said to her bus- band she did not believe fce would go so far as to shoot her. when he drew the gun to his shoulder and fired at her. A portion of the charge, which was fine shot, lodged in Airs, iuackenousn siae, nips and legs. The little girl received a portion of it in the face, neck and arms. The little boy was shot in the faco.

The mother and little girl were seriously hurt, the former, it was thought, fatally. Both recovered, but were left scarred and disfigured. Quackenbush was lodged in jail at Lyons and convicted on Saturday of attempting to murder his wife and two children, lie was sentenced to three years and six months imprison ment in tne Auburn prison.

Of course the Gardner is a five-barreled mitrailleuse, while the Nordonfeldt only counts four. but it is proposed to diminish the bore of the latter to the caliber cf the Gardner and add another barrel. THE ARMAMENT Of this ship, being chiefly, if not altogether, muzzle-loaders, should constitute a valua ble hint to American naval gunners. It is universally conceded in Europe that better naval work results from niuzzie man irom breech-loaders.

Indeed the Swiftiure herself is a case ia point. Some two years back, while firing a salute at Madeira the breech-pie-e of a Vavasour 25-nounder was carelessly re placed and therefore blew out, traveling across the deck and killing one man out right, while another escaped only wiui a smashed leg. At the same time, the muzzle-loaders can be worked with consummate smartness and celerity, a single gun having been loaded and fired eight times in seven minutes. The band was in good form yesterday and seemed much appreciated by the crowds of visitors, though it is doubtful wbether selections from inatoro were a ludicious addition to the programme. that playful masterpiece of Gilbert and Sullivan being generally conceded to be a grand burlesque on her Britannic Majesty's navee.

The torpedoes (Whitehead) attracted a numerous clientele, and the British tar had a gay time explaining the merits of these harmless toys. The port torpedo port is useci as a reading-room, certain visitors will recognize this sarcasm. This same ship could steam into the bay of San Francisco and lay this city and Oakland in ashes without the remotest possi bility or being injured in return. The Pole Game.

G. F. Blggers Drowned East Night in the Graveyard. "The Graveyard" ia the symbolic title that has been applied to a spot in the bay at the edge of Goat Island, on the San Francisco side. It is on the route that the Oakland boats pursue in crossing from this city, and just beyond it after dark gleams the bright light at the end of the island.

The funeral name has been given this watery locality on account of tbe many people who have gone down to a voluntary death at that point. These suicides have jumped from the ferry-boat when passing there. The island light seems to have been an agent In their self-destruction, for some how when they have seen it their resolution has been put into effect." It has probably warned them that thoy were far enough out in the bay, and that the landing on the other side would soon be reached. Another suicide ended his existence In the "Graveyard" last night. When the steamer Oakland was on its 7 o'clock trip from this city a sickly looking man stood aft on the left side of the upper deck.

Nobody particularly noticed him until the boat approached Goat Island. He then took a letter from his pocket and his hat from his head, and throwing them to a man near him. cried "That letter is yours." After this sudden action he immediately leaped on the railing and disappeared below. In going down he struck against the side of the boat and fell fiat on his back on the cook's window, from which he instantly rebounded. The concussion was forcible enough to stun him.

He went down in the water. Great excitement ensued on the upper deck of the boat, which has always a large number of passengers at that nour, and nunareds of men and women peered into the dark waves. As soon as the man went down the alarm bell was sounded. At once the steamer was stopped, and a boat was lowered in less than two minutes after he jumped overboard. It was rowed around the spot for a few minutes and followed for a short distance in the wake of the steamer, which went on.

The men in the boat waited at this place untd the Oak land came back ou her return trip, but no sign of the suicide was discovered. Tho letter wnicn ne lett was signed t. Biggers."

He had been indulging in a holiday in Oakland, and im bibed rather freely of the vinous Ingredl enta disposed of in the hostelries of that oerg. lie took tbe 6 clock boat from Oakland pier, the steamer El f'anitjui and, desiring to obtain the full benefit of tne sea breeze, took a seat on the railing of the lower deck. A few minutes after the steamer passed Goat Island he suddenly fell backward into the bay. No one on the boat saw him fall and no alarm was given. By some good fortune, just as Norton fell, an Italian fishing smack passed the stern of the steamer and picked the inebriated German im.

Our institutions, fashioned in great measure upon the English pattern, are not stronger, if no strong, a3 are those of the mother country. We will see the German and the Cossack erecting republics" long bsfore those institutions find root in British soil. CHASCB OF PARTIES. Among the unsolved problems of republican Government that of a peaceful change of parties in the Administration the most serious.

It is the nature of parties, after long domination, to forgot that they are mere servants of the people and vehicles of public thought. Power passes from the many who vote into the hands of the few who manage, and then the latter begin first to assume and then imagine that they are the State. Nothing could more forcibly illustrate this sentiment than the attitude of Mr. Blaino and his partisans since the election. Had there been any possible alternative, by which the will of the people could have been contested, we should not have witnessed the peaceful retirement of a party which has controlled the Government for a quarter of a- century.

In Mr. Blaine the Republicans would have found a leader unscrupulous enough to dare, and in Logan one desperate enough to do whatever deed might be resolved upon as a means of consummating another fraud upon the ballot. But the conditions were not favorable. The Presidential pillage of 1876 could not be repeated in 1884, and Mr. Blaine was wise enough to see it.

But that circumstance has by no means reconciled him to the change which is inevitable. His furious malice, as shown in his Augusta speech, finds vent in wicked mouthings and insane abuse of all the elements which he imagines contributed to his defeat. The same spirit would have incited war, had war been possible. Behind Mr. Blaine an army of office-holders not less dissatisfied than himself, and a press the most shameless and reckless the country has ever known.

That these elements have not planned some scheme to defeat the will of the people is solely owing to the fact, widely recognized from -the moment that Cleveland's success was beyond doubt, up to this hour, that any such attempt would be the death-knell of the individuals or party that undertook it. They would have been swept aside by popular indignation, as insects are swept by the wing of the tempest. CAKFIEIP'S HF.IK. Mr. Blaine's appointed role during the canvass was Garfield's heir and we frequently heard it said that "whatever was best in the administration of Garfield, Blaine accomplished." Thi3 was generally set down, however, to the exuber ance of party feeling, Stimulated by great excitement.

The exigencies which demand the eulogy of a living idol at the expense of the dead do not usually survive the campaign which brought it out. But a different feeling still animates the partisans of the Plumed Knight. His home organ, the Kennebec Journal, declares, even after the election is over, that "Garfield was as clay in the hands of the potter," Mr. Blaine, and that all that was great and striking in his administration was directly attributable to his brill iant Secretary of State. If thU be true, what a weak vessel the Plumed Knight's flatterers make of the man who left his mantle to Blaine.

Thb new steel cruiser Dolphin, re. cently launched from Roach's shipyard, and which is supposed to be the seed of the new American navy, would be terribly destructive, no doubt, to a fleet cf oyster boats. But an ironclad like that just completed in England for the Chilean Government could good naturedly take the ramming and the firing of the Dolphin for a week, and tka drop one shot into the little craft which would sink it as readily a3 would a brickbat dropped into a floating pasteboard hat-box. Would we be any better off as a fighting nation if we had forty of these cruisers instead of seven While the other candidates for the Presidency were sawing the air and talk- ing about themselves. Belva Lockwood was visiting the industrial expositions, and endeavoring to start the hum of industry.

And Belva would have made the White House hum, too, if she had got into it. The Democratic Administration will not be distinguished as a fire-eating con cern, but while it lasts Spain will not murder our citizens nor Great Britain imprison them without cause. If they do, they will be held to account for it While health is necessary to happiness, it is not always wise to risk them both on a Thanksgiviug dinner; yet nearly every. body feels inclined to do it. THE DEFAULTING CASHIER.

Circumstances Connected with Crichv ton's rrevtons Eire. A group of nursegirla In charge of baby carriages were standing on the sidewalk by the residence of Mrs. Crichton yester day afternoon, and wondering among themselves "how the lady next door feels over her husband's trouble?" Evidently the neighbors did not know how it affected her, or the girls would have been cogniz ant of it. A reporter rang the bell at No. 1423 Steiner street, where the Crichtons live, and a young maid responded to the call.

"Arc you a reporter she said, glancing at the visitor's card. "Then she cannot see you." The door was shut at once. The name "Hunter" is on the silver door plate at No. 903 Van Ness avenue. Thi3 is the residence of David Hun ter.

She said that on Monday he bad tone to Alameda to attend to some real estate business, and Crichton had taken advantage of his absence to leave town.

EX AMEES Pl'B. 900 Market SU cor. Duoout SATIOML DEFEASES. That Congress should take immediate steps to improve the defenses of the country admits of no dispute. This is especi ally true of our sea-going armaments.

That we are utterly without naval support is a fact which even partisan feeling is not likely to prevent honest men from acknowledging, whether they call themselves Republicans or Democrats. It is a national scandal that we have not a gun worthy of the name, a fortification that could stand the battering of modern artillery, or a war vessel that could not be sunk by an enemy in a few minutes. That much being conceded, it is a favorite argument with Republicans that the Democracy is responsible for this condition of affairs because at the last session of Congress it refused to make an extravagant appropriation, ostensibly for naval construction, but in reality for electioneering purposes. The absurdity of this claim is shown in the fact that the Republican party has been in the ascendant in the House of Representatives nearly the whole of the time since the war; that at the close of the war it had pro' ably the strongest navy in the world, and that it has appropriated millions upon millions of dollars io maintain it, with the result conceded. That these millions have been stolen under successive Administrations there is now no room for denial.

They were principally stolen when Robeson was Secretary of the Navy, and his name is therefore forever licked with the most barefaced naval robberies. When the present Secretary came into office the amazing fatuity of Keifer, Speaker of the House, put Robeson at the head of the Xaval Committee, Jlore money was appropriated for thip8, and another thame-f ul imposture was practiced on the people ia the shape of the new cruisers, which Admiral 1'orter said would be no more efficient in actual conflict with the first-class vessels of England, Germany or France than so many washtubs." Now the whole matter will again come before Congress. Shall we have ships of war? Shall our national defenses be com. patiule with our power and dignity as a nation That is the question. The spec tacle cf our present attitude upon the sea is not a gratifying one.

The American people have for nearly twenty years had Admirustrations which have stolen money appropriated for ships of war. But they are now to have one which will act honestly and fairly, and which will carry out the purpose and intention of Congress as indicated in its appropriations. If we are to have a navy at all, it is time we were undertaking it, and the conditions were never so favorable as now for accomplishing it. t'OXGSESS AXD THE BANKERS. The last meeting of the American Bankers' Association at Saratoga, N.

dis. cussed very fully the measures it desired presented to Congress. There was, from their standpoint, some changes necessary in the organic law authorizing the National Banking system, while some of the details considered contemplated a radical change in many of the methods of doing business, which for years have been distinguishing features of our banking system. One of them is of special importance, which applies rather to the routine of the banks, and has no real connection with the banking law the payment of interest on demand deposits. There is perhaps no recognized practice in American banking methods against which stronger arguments could be advanced, as it applies artificial inducements for the absenteeism of capital from the localities where it belongs, and it directly promotes mischievous and demoralizing speculation in the centers to which it is attracted.

In many of the European banking systems there is a special standard in respect to interest on deposits, which secures them ap parent immunity from risk, as they habitually allow 1 per cent less than the minimum rate of the Bank of England in Lon don, or the Bank of France in Paris.

It ia claimed that England is growing stronger every day in revolutionary ideas. who look merely on the surface of thing argue from these feigns of liri'-al i.gitatinn that the days of tiv monarchy are drawing to an eiui. 'X his is an unwise conclusion. Be- rar.s;' a people in England sneer at icgai authority, and such men as Dilke and 1 rarilaugh clamor for a republic, is Iio reason wny mese sentiments are shared by the great body of the people. Whether right or wrong, the English monarchy was never stronger than it is -nay.

The House of Lords may be an arrogant body, and no doubt it is the 2 louse of Commons is clamorous and impetuous, resentful and dogged but these lire not indications of decay.

In consequence of the many attractions on this and the other side of the bay, the concourse of pleasure-seekers assembled to witness the boatrace from off the cattle wharf on Mission Bay was unusually small. The first event of the day was a shell race between Leandcr Stevenson and William Growney for a $25 stake. The race was advertised for $200 a side, but when the principals came together prior to the time of starting they agreed to row for the forfeit money. After the usual caution from the referee, James Aird, the men en tered their respective boats and rowed to the stake boat, where they were to start from, Stevenson was the first to catch water on the word Go being given, but scarcely had he taken a half dozen strokes when Growney took the lead and maintained the winning position throughout tne race. Stevenson, wno naa tne outside nositiun.

steered badly, getting too far in shore, where the water it being ebb tide was very shallow. In the endeavor to extricate himself from the mire he caughtacrabin the mud and nearly capsized. He equalized matters somewhat when he regained his position on the deep by gaining several lengths on his adversary. On the homestretch he made a grand effort to overhaul Growney, but the odds agaiubt him were too many, and Growney crossed the stakehoat three lengths in a Ivance, in the announced time of lti 38 sec. The race was the usual course of two miles, with a turn, opposite the Pioneer boathouse to a stake or buoy stationed near the Rolling Mills.

Immedi ately after the professional oame the ama teur race, me entries were Faul smith. William Jdiake ana Oscar lirancn. Tne start was an even one. Branch immedi ately took the load, and at the rounding of tne stakeooat ne was leading uake Dy three lengths and Smith by two more At this juncture ho unfortunately strained a tendon in hi3 wrist, which compelled his retirement from the race when the laurels of victory were almost assured. Blake made telling work on his mission home ward, rowing very fast and defeating Smith by a minute and three seconds.

Blake time was lb 8 sec. as an nounced. There was no official timekeeper. When the victor arrived at his boathouse be was presented with a hand some gold medal, a trophy of his well- earned victory; AT CENTRAL PARK. Openlns Fader Auspicious Circum- stances The Winners.

Wandering Around with Wounds which no Ordinary Man Could Have SurvivedHomeless and Friendless. "Flease mister, would you let me in!" were the word8 uttered in a half pleading. half apologetic tone, by an old decrepit man who yesterday afternoon leaned over the gate separating the City Prison proper from the Receiving HospitaL The words were addressed to the young assistant steward of the hospital. vho was quietly seated in the main corridor inside the gate indulging in his daily pipe. Upon receiving an affirmative answer the old man slowly opened the portal, entered the hospital, and stood scraping and smiling before tho young steward.

What's wanted now was asked. "Well, sir, my head is a trifle sore to day, and I'd like you look at it, and dress it a bit, sir." The man presented a pitiful spectacle his form bent, face of a livid paleness, and his head loaded with bandages, surmount ed by a large covering of oakum. His attire added nothing to the beauty of his general appearance, consisting, as it did, of a ragged coat, the original color of which hod boea lost presumably beforo the war, a cheap woolen ehlrt and an ancient pair of blue jeans ents. An antique piece of headgear somewhat re sembling a hat perched on top ot tho wig of oakum, completed the singular looking outfit. A HORRIBLE BIGHT.

The official in response to the reouest. by a nod of the head, ordered the unfortunate specimen to follow him into the operating room. The man attempted to comply with the order, but in staggered, and would have fallen if assistance had not been rendered. The weakness was but momentary, however, and gathering nimseir together with a determined eUbrt, and a faint "Thank you, sir," for the aid rendered, with faltering steps he made his way into the main chamber of the hospital, and seated himself to await operations. The bundle of bandages was removed, and the wounds, of which the unfortunate spoke so lightly, were exposed to view.

The top of the cranium had been carefully shaved of the hair which had-formerly adorned it, and two gaping wound3, each an inch in circumference, were plainly seen. Both the holes were completely through the skull and formed two small wells, rnd the brain could be plainly seen pulsating rapidly. The dilapidated-looking head was carefully washed, a wet bandage applied, new wraps bound on, and, with many thanks, the man arose and was ready to again proceed on his way. The grateful patient was James O'Meara, an old soldier, and the tale of how he received the inj uries from which he is suffering, is best told in bis own language. For four months O'Meara has been in hi 3 present terrible condition, his brain exposed, and his life in imminent danger.

Questioned by an Examiner reporter he told the folio wing graphic story his story. "I am a discharged soldier, sir, and after the late war, I went to laboring for a living on farms about the State. Three years ago found me on Dr. Glenn's farm in Colusa county, where I remained up to the first part of last July. I dee ded to quit, and did so about the 10th of that month.

I started from tbe farm and made my way to the town of Jacinto, where I visited the general store. The young men who owned the establishment advised me to remain at Dr. Glenn's, but the desire for a change wa3 strong and I. rejected their advice. Would to God I had not! The day I determined to start for Chico was lovely.

The sun shone gloriously, the birds sang in the tree3, and all was bright. But somehow. or other I didn't feel myself. A cold chill would once in a while creep through me, and yet I was in perfect health. Taking up my small bundle I started toward the county road.

When I reached it I suddenly halted, a tremor came over me and I leaned against a tree for 'support. A warning voice within me seemed to say, "Turn back, turn back." For a moment I was irresolute, and inclined to return, but after a few moments the feeling passed away and I again started off. After I had been for about an hour on the road, and had gone perhaps two miles, I began to feel weary and decided to rest. A short distance further down the road was A SMALL BRIDGE, Crossing the bed of what was formerly a small stream. I went toward it, and was about going benoath it to lie down, when the same feeling of faintess came over me, and I grasped the railing of the bridge.

A black mist arose before my eyes, and I gasped for air. A premonition of coming evil forced itself upon me. I was bewildered, but by a strong effort conquered my feelings and went down the bank and (under the bridge. I lay down on the dry sands, and in a few moments fell into a dose. For about an hour 1 dosed, when as if in a dream, I saw a man's face peering over the bridge, the eyes fixed on me.

A moment later he sprang down and was standing beside me. In his right hand was a heavy club, which he raised as my eyes opened, and with it he struck me a heavy blow on the head. With a great effort I raised my right arm, which is partially paralyzed, to protect my head. He continued striking me and 1 murmured to myself. Mother Virgin, protect me." As I finished the words the blows suddenly ceased, and all was a blank.

But I had recognized the man who had struck me. O'Meara gave the name of his assailant, but as it would defeat the ends of justice to publish it, it is withheld for the present. When I recovered consciousness I found myself in the Colusa County Hospital with my head bound up. Friends from Glenn's ranch were about me, and did all in their power to assist me. I remained therefor a short time, and' fearing the hospital authorities would not treat me properly, I loft for Sacramento, and entered tho hospital, there under care of Dr.

White, whom I had known years before as a newsboy on the streets. He extracted FORTY PIECES OF BROKEN SKULL, And I was left to recuperate. From Sacramento I came here for further treatment, and have done odd jobs about the city to pay my expenses." The story of O'Meara, as far as the assault is concerned, and his labors in this city, are fully confirmed. He "was found lying under the bridge by a passer-by, his skull smashed in, and he covered from head to foot with gore. He was taken to the Colusa hospital, and remained in an unconscious condition for over a week.

The feeling of indignation ran high in the county, where O'Meara is well known and generally respected and liked. His friends offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the party or parties who assaulted him. During his stay in Colusa the mind of the unfortunate man was a blank, and he was unable to name his assailant. Many of the friends of the wounded man speak of him in the highest terms. HE SERVED FAITHFULLY In the volunteer corps of the army and bears a letter from Adiutant-General Cosby to L.

Wadhams, Secretary of the Veterans' Home, recommending him as a fit person to be admitted to that institution. His condition is still very dangerous. At any moment inflammation may ensue and death would result. The slightest blow on the head would also piace his life in imminent danger. Lacking finances, he has, up to now, refused to disclose the name of his brutal assailant, who, he fears, would kill him.

The authorities of Colusa, it is now believed, will take cognizance of the case and arrest and punish the ruffian. O'Meara is most positive as to the identity of his would-be murderer, and described him fully, winding up with the statement that "he wore the most beautiful suit of clothes I ever saw." The object of tho assault was to gain possession of 80, which O'Meara had on his person at the time, and which was missing when he was found. Two honorable discharges from military service were also taken. Daniel's Thanksgiving. Daniel McCaulley, second mate of the ship Goods peed, started off quite early yesterday morning to enjoy Thanksgiving, and succeeded in making a highly successful effort of it.

Shortly after 2 o'clock in the afternoon he staggered up Market street, and arriving opposite the Phelan Building concluded to cross the street. The only obstruction to his progress was car Nd. 7, of tho McAllister-street cable line, with which Daniel collided, much to his own disgust He was picked up in an insensible condition by Officer F. Smith, who conveyed him 1 1 the Receiving Hospital. His injuries consisted of a few bruises ab ut his head and a black eye.

The car was not hurt. Another Stanch Old Democrat. To the Editor of the Examiner Sir I saw in your paper to-day an item taken from the Santa Rosa Democrat, that Josiah Moriu, aged 94 years, voted for Cleveland and Hendricks, and is considered the oldest voter in Sonoma county, if not in the United States. W. Hennessy of this place is 96 years old, and also voted for Cleveland and Hendricks.

Before the election he Baid that if Cleveland and Hendricks were elected he was willing to die; but since the election he says that he intends to vote again.four years hence, the Democratic ticket for President. N. Scheeline. Elm Ira, Solano county, November 24. Election Warrants.

A short but lively bout, De-tween Clarence Whistler and Tom Cannon followed. Some pretty club-swinging pre ceded three bouts of Grspoo-Homan between two small but active boys, who were announced as "Young Cannon and Young WhiBtler." Clarence's namesake won two falls and his opponent one. Dun can C. Ross gave a rather uninteresting exhibition in lifting heavy weights. He explained, however, that there was noth ing about the grounds neavy enougn ior him to show what he could do.

Through Manager McNeil he challenged any one to wrestle him mixed styles ior any amount. The sports closed with jumping and evolutions on a horizontal bar by members of the Turn Veroin.

Eacky and Forest Kins Winners. The races given at the Bay District track were better attended than any here tofore offered by the association. The track was in good condition and the weather was such that every one almost felt It a duty to attend. Most of the cards of the Blood-horse meeting were offered as an attraction, and the clubhouse and hotel balconies, as well as the space in front of the quarter stretch and the grand stands, were crowded a3 in the palmiest days of the racing craze. There was but little change in the way pools sold.

On THB FIKST EVENT, A five-eighths of a mile dash for two-year-olds, Rapido went as favorite at two to one with Ichi Ban and Mischief in the field. At the drop of the flag the starters got off nicely. Dut ieni uan gladdened the hearts of the short-enders by taking the lead after a few strides. Lie reached the balf mile in 0:48. two lengths ahead of Rapido, Mischief making a poor second.

These positions were retained to tne close, in THE SECOND RACE Was a one-mile dash, for a purse of S2C0: to r.rsu me entries soia as xouows E. J. Baldwin's Gano. carrying 118 pounds. and ridden by S.

Considerable diffi culty was experienced before a good start was made, vv Hen tnev got oil. uano was slightly in the lead in the second position.

At the quarter the Prince was a length in the rear, and the otner two neck and neck. The Kid led the pace at the half in .511, Gano having dropped back to third position. At the tnree ouarters Gano opened out and entered the home-stretch witn a slight advantage over tne frince. Under the lasn Gano lairly out did luui sell, and won Dy a couple of lengths in 1:43. the Prince second and the Kid mak ing a good but losing race for that position.

THE THIRD EVENT Was the attraction of the day, a 2i-raile dash. The entries were E. J. Baldwin's Lucky carrying 118 pounds, and ridden by George Hallaway Matt Allen's Paty Duffy, carrying 120 pounds, and ridden by Monroe Johnson; Judge Mees Garfield, carrying 106 pounds, and ridden by Michael js.eny.

These positions were observed as in tho four-mile dash on Saturday last around the circuit during tho race.

The first mile was completed in 1:48. The next quarter, however, was more speedy. Duffy taking the lead by a length. At the mile and three-quarters Lucky who had been satisfied with the rear position. opened out and led the van, after giving Dutry a nard struggle as neck and neck for quite a distance.

Down the home stretch they all came. When half way to the wire Lucky BM regardless of his fatigue, which was hardly passed since the four-mile struggle, flew over the ground and came in first, three lengths ahead of Patsy uuuy and eight lengths the oest ot Uarlield. Time, THE FOURTH EVENT Was the one and a quarter mile dash for a purse of $200. The entries were T. Lynch's Glendair.

When fifty feet from the wire the King increased his gait and came in a good first, with Glendair second, and Philip the favorite, clear behind. Time.

2:11. PARK AND OCEAN. Beyer's Battle-PIece The King of the Air An Accident. At Golden Gate Park there was every appearance that the equipages of the entire city had been turned loose. One would be safe in asserting that there was not a procurable turnout left in any livery stable in town.

In the forenoon Company of the Second Infantry Regiment, Captain Taylor, and Battery of the Second Artillery Regiment, Captain Collier, wended their way to the Park, for the purpose of fur nishing the artillery and musketry accompaniment to the battle pieces. MUSICAL PROaRAMME. Crowds surrounded the grand stand and listened to the fallowing programme Part First March. Battle of Graffula; overture. "Concert," Hoffmann; waltz, "Elysian," Bowman; gavotte, "Oircua King, liege; grand battle piece, with pistol, musketry and artillery accompaniment, i-art second uapnee.

In the afternoon the band moved to the pavilion at the ocean beach, where the same programme was repeated, while Leoni. advertised and placarded as King of the Air." was walking a tight rope. stretched from the tower of the pavilion seventy-dye feet above ground. An im mense concourse of people, on foot and in teams, witnessed the daring feats of the Air King, His initiatory performance was to walk the entire distance or tne tignt rope, about 150 feet, blindfolded, and with shackles chained together on each ankle.

The intrepid and nonchalant manner in which the daring young man nanaied him self nrovoked many feminine shrieks from thn Ronirregation of upturned female heads. At last, in stepping over the trapeze rope in the middle ot nis walk ne wavered, Ial tered and seemed to have lost his head for a moment. An -unmistakable shriek pro ceeded again from the female portion of the throng. But it soon appeared that Leoni was a wag, and if he had fallen and broken his neck it would not nave pro duced a quiver ol fright. THE WAVES REJOICE.

There was a thanksgiving appearance on the face of the deep, and the indolent billows had scarcely energy enougn to splash the amphibious sea lion that re posed upon the lower levels of the Cliff Rock, while out as far as the eye could reach there was a clear atmosphere and a placid sea. Returning to the Park there was to be seen a host without num ber occupying all the points of vantage near tne conservatory ana nignts Bur rounding the Bay District racetrack. They were economically patronizing the noble sport of horse-racing that was going on upon the track. It is a matter of sur prise that accidents did not happen. Only one unfortunate youngster was iniured.

and he not seriously. In skipping across a roadway a speeding team ran him down, out Droae no nones. ON THE "SWIFTSURE." One Her Majesty's Second-Class Vessel ader lnsiiectton. The British Benevolent Society had field day, havmg chartered a small fleet of steamboats to convey their host of Thanksgiving Day patrons to the British flagship now lying in our harbor. Round-trip tickets retailed at 50 cents, and the immense amount of traffic must have resulted in the society netting a large amount of coin for their own peculiar chanties.
