CALIFORNIA WINS. Marksmen of Company Victorious. AT THE RANGES. The Nevada Riflemen Lose by Ten Points. QUICK WORK BY THE LOCAL MEN.

Marvelous Scores Were Not Registered, But the Great Contest Was Exciting. Co. First California Co. First -Nevada Infantry 1313 The marksmen of the California National Guard triumphed over the Nevada militiamen In the great inter-State rifle competition yesterday. Company Bof the First California Infantry again successfully demonstrated the excellent targetbitting qualities of its members, and for a time at least the location of the champion-, ship for shooting by teams of thirty men bas been determined.

Another laurel has thus been added to the number so recently accumulated by Captain Cook's young riflemen, and possi- bly the greatest of ihem all. The cracks of Carson have a reputation that is world- Captain Irvine B. Cook. Commanding the California Team. wide, and their' defeats on the range have been few and far between.

For quite a number of years tbey had been the undisputed masters of the rifle-firine science, and only last February ten of tbem scored a famous victory over at Shell Mound when the SaniFrancisco Schuetzen Verein's tournament was in progress. Under circumstances of this character a victory over Nevada's best soldier shots is a thing to be talked of and written in scrapbooks. It is of little matter that neither team did as well as they have done at other times. Nevada lost the match and the young men of Company ii are properly jubilant. A better day could hardly have been I selected (or a rifle match at Shell Mound where the San Francisco marksmen did their shooting.

Somewhat sultry at times and hazy in a way, the weather was sufficiently favorable for the purpose of the most exacting marksman. There was no wind to interfere with tbe direction ot the bullet, the targets were new and bright to look upon, and generally the conditions were of the kind that breed satisfaction. The members of Company arrived on the ground early, and before the hour appointed for the inauguration of the match every man of the team had sized up the little black disk to a certainty of its whereabouts on the tall canvas target. Captain P. J.

Dunne, the Carson Guard representative, inspected the ranee and the targets with Captain Cook of the local team. Precisely at 11 o'clock First Sergeant A. F. Ramm of Company stepped to the firing station. A six-pound leaden weight was attached to the cocked trigger, and indicated thai the regulations had been complied with in the matter of the trigger-pull.

Ramm led off witb a four that almost nipped tbe black on the right edge. Herman Heath was the man who shot with Ramm, and he also registered a close four. Ramm held a steady gun for awhile, and in seven snots he had perforated the Sergeant G. W. Cowing, Captain of the Nevada Riflemen.

center five times and came dangerously near it twice. For a time it looked as if the first sergeant might do something in the record-breaking line, but unfortunately lie failed. Ramm sought variety in his score, and contrived to insert a couple of threes 111 the string at a time when good shots would have been valuable. A four at the end of bis record gave him a total of 43. Heath was not sn steady, but still he found the target for 42 with a three In the string.

Captain Irving B. Cook and Anthony bhula were next in the stall. Cook shot very well, every hit on the target being within the four circle and two in the black, bhula Is a graceful marksman as well as a crack shot and scored a total of 42. under way, the firing proceeded without interruption until the last shot went tearing through the canvas. There were no delays of any kind and as a consequence tne affair was finished quite early.

Every pair of marksmen were allowed twenty minutes to fire twenty shots. one exceeded the time. limit and one rapid couple, linger and Rupp, completed their scores in something over eight minutes. Tbe time occupied by the thirty men was only three hours and forty-five minutes. It was unfortunate for Company that fcwo of tbe good- shots were unavoidably Absent.

Heizman and McCnllough failed to appear at the range and two alternates were substituted. Mote to be regretted, however, was the poor shooting of a few men who bad been relied upon to do much better. Perry, one of the best men in the should have scored 45 or more, but nervous and dropped to was unsteady and Ramm tried the edges of the target for a while with a sucsesa tbat tola somewhat on his total. Withal, however, the shooting was generally creditable. The total score for the team was 1223, an average of about 40 and only ten points short of the great record the same men made at Sacramento in December last.

Cowing, captain of the Carson Guard rifle team. Cowing sent his congratulations to Captain Cook and stated that he would forward the targets and scores lav.

Dr. Knowies and Fay were the successful marksmen, the latter making 20 straight killings in a bird contest. AN UNFILIAL SON.

He Savagely Attacks His Own Mother. He Also Tries the Weapon on His Sister and a Lodger Named Wilson. A family row, in which several of the members were nearly killed, took place early yesterday morning the Giannini laundry establishment at 1318 'lurk street. A son almost murdered his mother, brother, sister and a lodger in the house. As a result of the row two of the family are laid up for repairs the third occupies a cell in the City Prison with a charge of assault to murder against him.

A lodaer named Wilson will carry several scars in remembrance of this more than usually fierce disruption of family The mother, Mrs. Giannini, is assisted in business by two sons, Joseph aud Frank. The best of relations aro said to have always existed between the brothers and their mother, with the exception that Frank had a tendency to go on occasional sprees. When too full of absinthe he grew very quarrelsome, and had a mania for using a knife. For this reason he was held in dread when in his cvp 0 and was always closely watched when under the influence I of strong drink.

Early yesterday morning, about 2 o'clock. I Frank Giannini returned home after partaking of a goodly quantity of spirits. lie passed into the room where his brother was sleeping nnd began to quarrel. Soon the two triers were engaged in a fight. The noise of the struggle awoke Mrs.

Giannini, and she rushed to tbe room and began to try to part combatants. A dauehter named Mathilda appeared on the scene with a view to restore harmony. The struggle of the family to quiet Frank were unavailing, although they were re-enforced by a lodger named Kobert Wilson. Frank Giannini grew more desperate and ferocious as the numbers against him increased, and finally be began to use a knife of some kind. He slashed right and left, cutting at his brother, mother and sister.

The young girl ran to the window and began to scream and yell lustily for help, and soon Officers Dugan and Mangan responded. When Frank Giannini saw the officers he quieted down. They placed him under arrest and took his brother Joseph and the lodger Wilson to the Receiving Hospital. Doth were covered with blood. At the Receiving Hospital Josepb was was found to have been cut on the arms, body and leg.

None of the wounds are serious. Wilson was cut in the neck and arm, but both injuries are superficial. Frank Giannini, who weilded the knife, managed to administer cut to his right thumb. He was taken to the City Prison and charged with murder. About an hourafterward Joseph Giannini returned to the hospital with his mother.

She had not thought that she had received any but slight injuries, but when the officers left with their prisoner she felt blood streaming down her neck, where she bad received a severe gash. At the hospital the wound was found to have been the most severe of all, and the only one which is really dangerous. The knife or razor used by the son made a long clean cut under the right ear about three inches in length. One of the arteries of the neck had been severed, and if Mrs. Giannini had been left much longer at home she would have bled to death.

As it was, her condition is serious, and when she was taken to her homo she was very weak from loss of blond. Frank Giann.ni hardly realizes the terrible situation be is in, with the States Prison staring him in the face. His brother Joseph says bo does not care for his own wounds, and would let that pass if it were not for other things. "The attack on my poor moiher is too horrible for me to bear, and I will prosecute him to the end," said Joseph Giannini. Frank Giinnini says be used a penknife in his uufilial attack on his mother.

The daughter says she saw a butcher's knife in his hands but her eyes were probably inclined to magnify things to her terror. Joseph Giannini and the doctors agree that the weapon used was a razor, on account of the clean character of all the cuts. Tbe physicians say it is a wonder that the desperate and intoxicated man did not kill the whole family with the terrible weapon he wielded. PLAYING ROBBERS. Mission Hoodlums Compel a Boy to Steal $50 From His Father.

BEHIND WICKETS. The Cricket Season Has Opened Merrily. GAMES AT BOTH GROUNDS. Webster, Robertson, Sheath and Others to the Fore. ALAMEDA HAS A NEW BATSMAN Moriarity Comes Off at the First Alamedas and Bolie- mians Take the Lead.

Yesterday witnessed the formal opening of the cricket season of 1894 at the Alameda and Klinknerville grounds. The perfect weather and enthusiasm proper to tne occasion had the effect of bringing out a brave body of spectators to both places, and, incidentally, ot inciting the various teams to their best efforts. Nobody looks lor top-notch form on the season's birthday. But yesterday, lowing perhaps to the well-attended preliminary games and to faithlul bi-weekly practice, the lustiness which usually characterizes the play ou such occasions was, as regards most of tbe men, hardly perceptible. Several changes have taken place in the teams of last year, and one club, the "San Francisco," has nominally ceased to exist.

Most of its former members, however, are enrolled under the brand new colors of the ''Bohemian," whose captain is the redoubtable Billy Robertson. The match at Alameda was between the last year's cup-winners, the Alamedas and the veterau Pacifies. The former team have lost, however, Ilandol. Price and Brown from their last year's team while the Pacifies are weakened by the retirement of Sheath, Cookson and Ward. The Alamedas won the toss and put their adversaries According to Pacific ethics everything depends upon tbe stand iiiado by the first three bats, and unfortunately for the scarlet and black the first six wickets fell with alarming rapidity.

At tbis juncture, with the score at 17, John Theobald joined Wiseman at the wickets, and the air knocked up tbe score to 42 before they were parted by a ball from Ward Jr. whien beat Theobald. This was the beginning of tha end, and although Wiseman managed to put together sixteen runs before he was dismissed, do other stand was made and the Innings closed for 52. Alter lunch the Alamedas took the wickets, and for some time it appeared that a sharp contest would ensue. Never did the Pacifies show better form In the field, and despite their obvious weakness in bowlers they disposed of the four dangerous Hood.

Hogue, Sloman and Ward for the small total of 30 runs. The place of the last named was tben taken by the new man, Moriarity, and a new aspect was soon put on the game. Tbis gentleman proved himself a bat, and played a steady, judicious, even brilliant, tuning for 62, which was terminated by a clever throw of Hill's. Nothing eventful occurred after this, and at the fall of the tenth wicket the telegraph registered a total of 111. The second inning of the Pacifies was very nearly a repetition of their first.

Messrs. J. Theobald aDd Wiseman again came to the fore in respective scores of 14 and 11. Hill compiled a careful 10, but the rest ol the team were easy game for the blue and white. This concluded the match, leaving the old champions victors by 49 en the first inning.

It would have been much less so had the members of the former club shown up as they should have done. A apathy, however, seemed to have possessed the men of orange and black, and had it not been for the indomitable pluck of their irrepressiblefchief, Anson, the fight would never have come off. As it was. Captain Anson won the toss and sent the new styled club in to bat. Then ensued, as was inevitable, three hours of inglorious leather-hunting for the Ansonlans.

Stonewall Webster amused himself to tha tune of 52 runs; Sheath, who left the Pacifies in order to taste victory, toyed with the bowling till he was caught as lie ran his ninetieth lap. Billy Kobertson would have been in now had he not in over-confidence underestimated one of Anson's lobs at 35. Guild and Bowhill added '24 to this big total, and then Captain Kobertson called the innings, deeming that a total of 219 was about good enough. The then went to bat. Of their performances little need be said, the team being composed principally of Anson, considered 'by some the best bat on the coast, and after him of what, in cricket parlance, are known as "colts." They played a good, uphill game, but were easily disposed of by Cookson and Reynolds for 15 and 40 runs in their two innings.

There can be no doubt that if the members of the club will only "get in and work" before the season closes, a very different complexion will be put upon their game. Appended is the score: BOHEMIANS. A. S. Webster c.

Shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday mornlne five rockaways, in which were seated forty-Jive well-known citizens, left the Record Stables for Uncle Tom's Caoin.

REFORM IN TAXES. A Consul on New Zealand Land Taxation. Large Estate Owners and Absentees Compelled to Sell and Poor Men Receive the Benefit. The April volume of consular reports on commerce, manufactures, published by the Government in Washington, contains a highly Interesting article on "Laud Taxation iv New Zealand." This essay is written by John D. Connolly, American Consul at Auckland, who has succeeded tv presenting his subject iv an attractive and effective manner.

"In the matter of taxation laws," he writes, "New Zealand excels as compared with the other Australian colouies, and perhaps with many older countries. Here, at least, legislation has been introduced that lias been most violently assailed as beiug experimental, socialistic, confiscatory and impracticable. But regardless of this terrible arraignment the taxation laws have been fully and successfully established and given prac ical effect, even while otber countries were theorizing on the same principles. Here reforms have been introduced which revolutionized the old system without articling, at least to any appreciable extent, existing Interests. The most determined opposition to the new taxation came from Hie moneyed institutions, loan omiaiiies aud the owners of vast landed estates.

It was found as soon as the new system became law and was thoroughly established that Instead of involving the colony In ruin. It had exactly the conn ary effect. The credit of the colony in London increased to an unprecedented degree. New Zealand's credit is better to-day on the London money market thau is that of any other colony of Australia. This pleasant position is not attributable to the new system of taxation alone, although it may oe fairly said to bave materially assisted in establishing confidence in the country.

"The aim of the new Government has been to relieve the 'weaklings' as much as possible from the burden of taxation and to place it upon the shoulders of those who were belter able to bear it." A personal-property and land tax was imposed up io 1891. The property tax has been substituted by an "Improvement tax," under which Improvements on laud up to $1,500,000 valuation are exempt, but above that amount are taxed. Deduction of mortgages and ot improvements to a value of $15,000 renders many owners exempt from land tax. There Is an exemption of $2500. so that no man nays laxes for State purposes until his property is worth over that amount.

A graduated tax is levied also for which all improvements are deducted, but an owner Is not allowed to make any deductions for mortgages owning by him and he lias not to include In nis return any nirrtgage owing by him. The lax Is not imposed on any owner the value of whose land. less Improvements, does not exceed $25,000, and the lowest rate Imposed Is one-eighth of a penny in the pound. The rate generally rises till it leaches 2 pence ln the pound on the improved value of lauds up to $1,050,000 or more. In the case of owners who have been absent from the colony for three years or over, prior to the passing ot the yearly lax act, a tax of 20 per ceut additional over and above the ordinary aud graduated tax.

This is intended as a measure against absenteeism aud its train of evils, and to compensate In some degree the couutry for the losses sustained thereby. Value of land and improvements is ascertained by au assessment made by assessors who value the whole of the lands In the colony whether occupied or unoccupied, whether belonging to the companies, or persons, or local bodies, to natives or to. the crown. The triennial valuation will be abolished at the next session of Parliament, and a system provided for just men of values when deemed necessary. Only experts familiar with land values will be engaged as assessors, lt is proposed to place the cost of valuation on county councils and road boards to relieve the Government.

After assessments are made owners are allowed to make returns to the tax department, and a board of review chosen from the respective districts give a final decision on the assessment. Still the owner has one more privilege of calling upon ihe Commissioner of Taxes to reduce the assessed value of his land, or demand that tne government take the land at the value placed upon it. The government must accept either alternative. Agaiust this me commissioner may with official approval buy tne properly at the value entered! in the owner's return, with 10 per cent added All incomes from mortgages and rents and from the use or produce of land derived by the owner or occupier are exempt from Income tax. In addition to the ordinary there is a graduated lax on land values over £5000.

The object of this is to compel those possessed of large estates and who are holding them for speculative purposes to either subdivide or offer such lauds for settlement. The graduated lax is having the desired effect, as many of the Immense estates are being freely oflered at their taxable value, while some are being cut up Into small farms aud sold at auction. The rates of sales for 1892-93 were ordinary Id per pound, and the graduated tax going as bight as 2d In the pound; income Od per pound on first taxable £1000-1. after deducting the £300 ana ls per pound on taxable incomes over £1000. By the abolition of tax on lnipiovemeuts a loss to the country of £37.000 was sustained, but this will be cora pensated for by the graduated tax.

By the £500 exemption and tin; £300 income exemption small farmers and laborers are immensely benefited, and tney are very grateful for the paternal solicitude of the Government. The tendency is toward Increasing the taxable property without making It oppressive ou those upon whom the Increased weight of taxation has fallen. The number of taxpayers lias decreased uuder the present land and income tax by 9028, while tbe revenue lias increased £19,921 The increase Is mainly attributed to the absentee and graduated taxes. That there is very little difference between the present land tax and the single lax as proposed by "single-taxers," as they are called In New Zealand, Is easily shown. The single lax would be levied at a uniform rate and without exemption upon all properties, Irrespective of siz-.

The mortgages would be treated in precisely the same manner as the l. tt would consider him as being part owner of ibe improvements as well as of the land. There would be uo absentee all landowners would be treated alike. Siugle tax Is in favor among some local boards, and Consul Connolly says of it: "The present mode of laud and ls only one degree removed from the single AMUSEMENT NOTES.
