ho undertaking establishment of Drexel
& Maul on Farnam street , where the
coroner's inquest will bo held at 10

For the past two or three days Nugent

uontal agony , and It was apparent to his
rionds that his end was not far distant.
The lodgment place of Kllov's futal bul-
ot has never been satisfactorily located
by the physicians , but that it reached a
vital spot has now been conclusively
rovon.

ng was all an accident ; that ho struck

WHICH ONi : BHALiti IT BE ?
A Dlsputo Over a 1'osltlon a Block
Watchman.
A lively dispute is now in progress be-
; ween Jerry Driscoll and Jerry Murphy ,
joth of whom claim the right to bejblock
watchmen in the territory bounded by
Twelfth , Douglas , Farnam and Four
teenth streets. Two weeks ago Murphy ,
after a vacation of several weeks , re
turned to duty in the blrck and notified
subscribers that ho was tlio watchman
and that Driscoll had no right there. Ilo
said ho had given up the beat to Driscoll
with the understanding that when he re-
urned ho was to have his old place.
Jriscoll , howeve colleoted the fees as ho
lad been doing. Each parades his beat
nightly , nnd claims that the other is
isurping authority. Just what the out
come will bo it is hard to ( tetermino , but
certain It is that between the two of them
the block should bo thoroughly guarded.
A Base Ball King.
San Francisco Chronicle : California
las beaten Kentucky in horses and has
) caten all the other states at various
lines in anything she has act her mind
to , but it remained for the year 1887 to
see a California boy beat the worlo at the
national game of base ball.
George Edward Van Haltren was born
n St. Loins , Mo. , May BO , 18G5 , but como
o California with his family in 18C9 when
> ut four years old , and has resided in
Jakland ever since ; so his seventeen
years residence in California certainly
mtitlos him to bo called a Calitornian.
le was educated at the Prnscott
grammar school in Oakland ,
nnd went through with part
> f the high school course , when ho left
its studios to give his entire attention to
lie game that has since made him fa
mous. At school ho was a steady scholar
ind was remarkable for that quickness
that lias always marked him on the "dia
mond. "
Ho first showed his fondness for theme
mo when "but a little boy , " and so evl-
lunt was his aptitude for it that even in
the boys' clubs to which ho belonged it
scorned only proper to five him the cap-
alncy , and he has always been captain of
every amateur club of which ho was a
member.
His lirot connection with base ball as a
irofossional player was in the winter of
1884 , when he played with the Emeralds ,
of Oakland , as cntchor.
Ilo was captain of the nine , and when
bo Emeralds were merged into the
3reenhood & Morans in the spring of
1885 , he occupied a similar position , still
playing behind the bat.
If it had not boon for an accident Van
Haltren might still have been playing all
over the Held , which ho was compelled to
do about the middle of the 1885 season on
account of his sore hands ; but in the
spring of 1880 , Gurnott , the pitcher of the
arecnhood & Morans , was found to bo
ncqmpetent as a pitcher against pro
fessional nines , and Van Ualtren being
the only man who could take the place ,
lie was tried , and distinguished himself
gainst the Knickerbockers , since which
Lime he has been m the box in every
gumo he has played.
His particular achievements have been
where , in two games of the California
state loagno ho pitched two games , hold
ing his opponents down to live hits in
each game , and in the first game with
the Havorlys ho struck three men out in
one inning on nine pitched balls. In a
subsequent game ho struck out nineteen
during the game.
By this time ho had acquired a na
tional reputation , and at their earnest
solicitation , he signed with the Pitts-
burgs in February of this year , but
the illness of his mother in
duced him to ask for a release.
Accordingly the Fittsburgs released
him to the Chicagos in April. The
illness of his mother continued , however ,
and on May 80 ho mot with the sad afflic
tion of her death , shortly after which ho
left for Chicago ,
With this bereavement still fresh upon
his mind , it is ca&y to understand the
cause of his reported despondency after
his first game at Chicago , but he has
overcome that , and has played in every
game since , covering himself and Cali
fornia with glory.
An Fniclneer'a Bravery.
Boston Herald : Leonard J. Gordon , a
well-known engineer on the Concord rail
road , met with a serious accident a short
distance north of GofTs Falls , N. H. ,
Tuesday rooming. Ho was running the
way freight , and when at the point desig
nated the front trucks under a car loaded
with lumber broke loose , which resulted
in its being scattered over the tracks ,
The accident had no sooner happened
than it flashed through Engineer Gor
don's mind that the northward-bound
express was then due. To think was to
act , and. at once reversing bis engine , he
ran to the front end and scoured the
red Ha ; : . Ho then jumped to the ground ,
but in doing so his overalls caught on th <
flagsUvfT and he fell heavily , striking hii
back on a rail. He regained his feet
however , and ranking bis way down toe
track , succeeded in stopping the train
just in time to prevent its collision wiU
the timber , and thus prevented what
would undoubtedly have been a serioui
disaster. The train was a long one , ant
nearly every car was crowded to tin
doors , and the result of an accident U
the train would have been most appall
Ing.
ingmoor , Gordon was taken on boart
the express and carried io his homo u

fidont that no bones are broken , but ow

the thorough examination was postpohoi
until to-day.

The Carpenters Organizing to 1'ro-
* vent Strikes.
The Carpenter's Union is using every
eflbrt to discipline its mtm in such a way
that all questions arising between the
masters and ttioir employes may bo sot-
tied without the necessity of having
recourse to a strike. Since the begin
ning of the recent diflicultic.s a largo
number of now men have joined the
union and it is claimed that the organ
ization is growing in strength daily.
There is some probulity that the dill'er-
enees between W. Rosenbory and his
men will bo settled this evening at 5
o'clock , that being the time appointed
[ or the contractor to give his final ans
wer. Apart from recent troubles the
men spoke highly of Mr. Rosenbery as
an employer and stated that they were
all ready to work when tlio nine
hour sjstern was agreed to.
A serious accident occurcd
at Rosenberg's mills yesterday when a
young man who had been employed car
rying lumber was put to work at a plan
ing machine , and allowing his hund to
come in too close contact with the knife
a serious wound was indicted. The other
principal contractor ' who have not yet
adopted the nine hoofrs system are Sam
Stevenson , J. Kounsihan , M.T. Murphy
and Andrew Moyer. " Of these , the two
last named signed tlib nine hours airreo-
ment , but have not IlViSd up to it. With
a view to carrying out the agreement al
ready arrived at the tfnion has requested
the contractors to hand in the names of
all men employed b # thorn , together with
the amount of wages , Which each man is
considered to be worth. In Inis way the
grading system will be placed on a more
satisfactory basis ana the union will bo in
a position to furnish 'just ' such men to
the contractors as they require.
The I'jstntnrH.
Thorn is no new development in the
painters' strike. The' ' men continue to
liang around at the''mooting ' place on
Douglas street Micawborliko , "waiting
for something to turnup. " So far the
men have boon well supported , and as
yet show no tendency towards giving
way.

THE MUOE IN COURT.
Some AVorks of Art Iteviowed and
Criticized by a Judgo.
The New York World's correspondent
at Portland , Me. , says : "Tho nude in art
question came before Judge Gould , of
the municipal court , this morning and
for a time the gloomy old court house was
transformed into a picture gallery. A
score or more of fine paintingc. repro
ductions of the masterpieces os tlio Paris
salon , were arranged about the court
room on chairs and benches. The
Statures were brought in by Mr.
'
tubb's , an art dealer , as evi
dence that the complaint against him for
exhibiting immoral pictures in his windows
dews was unfounded. The pictures were
nearly all well known subjects and these
familiar to all art critics. George Kimball -
ball , president of the Law and Order
league , undertook the prosecution , but
Judge Gould said ho would have no tes
timony since the pictures were in court
and could bo seen for themselves. The
judge then descended from the desk ,
made a pilgrimage about the room and
carcfullv inspected the pictures with evi
dent appreciation. After he had scon the
last one he complimented the taste of the
art dealer and dismissed the case ,

His Moral Ijccturo Not Appreciated.
New York Tribune : A fat disciple of
prohibition , with a benevolent counte
nance , a double chin and white high hat ,
halted on Saturday afternoon in front of
a group of typical New York newsboys
who were resting their bodies on the
stone stops in front of a store in Park
Row and delighting their souis with u few
choice brands of cigarette stubs which
might have come frota Dnlmouico'sonce
upon a time ) . Looking severely over
his gold-rimmed gluaDCft he addressed a
ragged urchin in the group :
"Boy , I am sorry to see you forming
this pernicious habit at.io early an age. "
The infant thus addr&sed shifted his
weed to the other aide ' of his mouth ,
looked up with a sort of.uneasy grin and
asked : .
"What 'or yer givln..qsT"
"Never use that UHJiy stuff. It will
soon lead you to worse .habits and will
end you in a drunkard's grave , " con
tinued the owner of the white hat.

"With the money ydbapend for tobacco
you could buy a farm in twenty years , "
went on the stnrn moralist. "Wouldn't
you like to leave the city and live quietly
on your own land ? "
"Batsl" sniffed No. 2 contemptuously.
"Say , mister , whore did you leave your
whiskers ? " asked a now coiner.
By this time a crowd had collected , and
a policeman seeing a chance for some
"lino work" hastily made bis way Into
the cnntor of the circle.
"Como now , move I" ho exclaimed
sharply * as ho poked the fat man in the
ribs. The gold-bowed spectacles gleamed
with righteous Indignation.
"What do you incaa , sir , " demanded
the owner.
"None of that now , " exclaimed the
brass buttons. "This ain't no lecture
hall. Are vou going to move ? or shall 1
run you in ? "
" 'I'll sir " the fat
report you , , gasped
man. " 1 was only talking to these boys ; "
but as ho looked for the boys , amaze
ment wai depleted on his face. They
had every ono of thorn "sloped. " Gath
ering his scattered wits , ho decided to
"slope" also , and moved on while tlio
heartless crowd actually laughed.
KISSED IN THE CO RRIDOR.
A Capitol Ottlclo Osculates n Young
Girl.
The recent rumors of misconduct of
Capital Guide Popham , says a Washing
ton letter to the Ualtlmoro Sun , led to
action by the authorities , and yesterday
morning Mr. John Popham , jr. , was con
fronted in the architect's olllco of the
capltol by Miss Blanche Wakcflold , of
Annandalo , Va. , who alleges that while
guiding her through the capltol ho kissed
her in ono of the corridors. Mr. Popham
denied the accusation , and Architect
Clark and Sorgcant-at-arnis Lecdom sat
in judgment upon the matter. The in
vestigation was involved at the outlet
with another matter. It appears that
Miss Wakoliold's father made applica
tion on Friday night to Guide Popham
for $00 , and that Popham had civen
Wakclield a bogus cheek. Miss Wake-
hold with indignation denied any. knowl
edge of this transaction , and her father
declared that ho desired to avoid pub
licity , as he understood his daughter's
picture would bo put in the Police
Ga/ctte , and ho asked Popham for $00 as
a loan , because ho wanted to visit his
dying mother in Ohio , ami had no
money. Miss Wakclield testified that
shti , with Miss Minnie Thorno , of Pis-
cntawn , Md. , visited the capitol a short
time ago , ' and that Gullies Pop-
ham and Boden came forward to conduct
them. She went with Popham and Miss
Thorno with Bodcn. Mr. Pophatn says
the girl said : "Lot's draw straws to s'oo
which ono we'll take. " Afterward she
and Popham bccamse separated from the
other two , and Popham suddenly clasped
her in his arms and kissed her. "She drew
away from him indignantly and soon
aiterward left the capitol with Miss
Thorno. The investigation was adjourned
in order to procure the attendance of
Miss Thorno and got her testimony.

satisfaction , saying it was just exactly
what she wanted. Then , turning to the
salesman , she asked : "What did you say
was the price per yard ? "
'Twenty-live cents,1' came the reply.
"Why ! " Indignantly exclaimed the
aroused customer , puttmsr the goods
from her with a gesture of "contempt , " 1
don't want it , then. I want to pay 50
cents a yard , " and oho tossed her head
in the air and said , " 1 will go where I
can get what I want. "
