Defendant Declares He Did Not Strike Scoll With His Fists. SAYS HE ONLY TRIED TO SHOVE HIM OUT OF THE WAY, To Compel Him to Stop Using Offensive Language in the Presence of Young Women--Testimony as to the Character of a Witness for the Prosecution.
A young woman named May Wenzel was a witness yesterday afternoon in the case of Oscar Henley, charged with manslaughter, having caused the death of John Scott in a row at Fourth and Street, in October last. Miss Wenzel was at Fourth and Streets with Birdie Shultze. She said that she heard Scott use abusive language towards Birdie Shultze. She was positive that Henley did not jump out of the buggy excitedly and rush over and knock Scott down with his fist. Mrs.
Mary Hughes said she saw Scott pass her place ten or fifteen minutes before the affair which led to his death. She saw G. H. Smith, a colored man, pass alone, about three minutes after Scott did. She is the woman whom Smith said he saw sitting on a door step near where the trouble took place.
Wm. G. Scott, a son of deceased, testifled that his father was in the neighborhood of 54 1 years of age. On crossexamination, witness was asked if his father had separated from his mother. He not say positively.
"coute His father had written several months before his death, that he intended to get property here and send for his family. then residing in Ohio. His father W93 slightly crippled in the left leg. Scott's testimony concluded the case of the people. The first witness for the defense was Nathan Ray, a colored man, who disputed the testimony of Rev.
Geo. H. Smith, who had sworn he had seen Henley knock Scott down. Ray said that he and Louis Jackson and Smith had walked up from Street together. When they arrived at Fourth and they saw a crowd.
forced his way into the crowd and wanted to know what was the matter with the man on the sidewalk. Louis Jackson corroborated Ray, testimony substantially, of Smith. Virgil Jackson saw a crowd at Fourth a and Streets. It was so dark that a match had to be lighted to see who the man was on the sidewalk. Frank Butler saw the crowd at Fourth and Streets, and contradicted the declaration of Smith that he (Smith) had seen the trouble.
E. M. Leitch and Brice Bufford testified that the reputation of Smith was bad. Frank S. Sprague testified that one night while he was at the Station House he heard heavy breathing in the Receiving Hospital and went in to see who was ill.
He found Scott lying unconscious on the floor. Calling one of the Station House men, Sprague helped to place Scott on his bunk. Scott's elbow was bleeding from an abrasion caused by the fall upon the stone floor of the hospital. Martin McManus, a nurse at the hospital, gave similar testimony. William Henley testified as to measurements he had at the scene of the homicide.
Oscar J. Henley, the defendant, was next placed upon the witness stand. He denied that he had struck Scott with his fists. He said that had shoved Scott three times, when fell. Henley said he he did not want to hurt Scott, simply trying to get him go away and quit abusing the girls with whom he was talking.
After Scott fell, Henley said he got into the buggy again with Jas. Kelleher, and they then drove to Sixth and Streets. Upon the advice of Kelleher, Henley went back to Fourth and Streets, where he saw the patrol wagon which had come after Scott. The next day Henley was arrested while he was at work in the railroad shops. When the Court opened this morning, the prosecution placed Mrs.
W. Davis, a colored woman, upon the stand. She said that in a conversation at her house between herself, her brother, Louis Jackson, and George H. Smith, her brother had said that on the night of the trouble between Henley and Scott, he and Nathan Ray had stopped in front of a saloon. Smith walked on up Fourth Street, towards L.
Mrs. Davis said her brother remarked that all he knew about the affair was what Smith told him. The defense recalled Louis Jackson. He denied that Smith ever told him anything about the case. The defense then announced that it had closed its case.
District Attorney Ryan, in his argument to old the man jury, Scott said was that the without assault tification. The District Attorney was followed by C. T. Jones, of counsel for the defense. The case was given to the jury shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon.
The jury was still out when The Bee went to press. James Mingle Hanged. SPRINGFIELD February James Mingle, who murdered infant Dollie Briscoe, and at the time made an attempt upon the life of the child's mother, was hanged here to-day. Mingle showed nerve to the last.

Declares Outside Influence Was Brought 10 Bear Against Him SUPERVISORS FLATLY DENY THE IMPUTATION. Chairman Morrison Tells the County Detective That the Action of the Supervisors Was Inspired Purely by Motives of Economy--Other Transactions of the County Fathers. By inadvertence the account in yesterday's Bee of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors contained the name of Louis Nixon as being a clerk in the County Auditor's office, and stated that by action of the Board he was liable to lose his position, which has to do with extending abstracts of mortgages.
It is John Dixon and not Louis Nixon who will be affected by yesterday's action of the Board. Following the withdrawal of Super visor Curtis' motion after The Bee's report closed yesterday that a road poil tax of $2 be levied on unexempted persons, Chairman Morrison said he wits opposed to the road poll tax. There should be a per capita tax, he said, for the maintenance of the hospital. Assessor Berkey said every employe of the Southern Pacific Company in this county pays his poll tax, and in addition they are taxed 50 cents month for the support of the Railroad Hospit al in this city, where they may go for treatment when required to do so. The levying of $2 road poll tax would be a hardship on those who work in the shops and who reside outside of the city.
Chairman Morrison said he knew of cases where employes of the railroad procured their medicines at the Railroad Hospital and then afterward procured admission to the County Hospital. Supervisor Jenkins said he was in favor of Assessor Berkey's proposition but he did not think a distinction could be made such as suggested by the AsI sessor. The District Attorney was requested to furnish the Board with an opinion in the matter. C. P.
Massey asked the Board if there was any way in which peddlers of wood can be made to pay a license. He said he had spoken to County License Collector Royster about the matter and that referred him to the Board. Mr. was summoned before Royster the Board to explain why persons peddling wood without a linecse were not prosecuted. He said he had formerly made it a rule to prosecute persons peddling without license, but he has since been informed, he said, by the District Attorney that he could not procure any more warrants for the arrest of persons violating the law in question.
The District Attorney was requested to appear before the Board and give his reasons for not issuing complaints when requested by the License Collector to do so. TO-DAY'S SESSION. Detective Max P. Fisher Makes a Statement to the Supervisors. County Detective Max P.
Fisher appeared before the Board of Supervisors this morning for the purpese of explaining why it would be cheaper for the county to retain him in his present position than to dispense with his services. The cause of Fisher's appearance before the Board this morning was the notice given by Chairman Morrison yesterday that before the end of the present session of the Board he would call for Detective Fisher's dismissal, which he would be prompted to do, he said, in the interest of economy. Mr. Fisher stated that since he was appointed nine months ago he has drawn $900 as salary, and that during that time he has saved the county $1118 40 by causing convictions to be had at little expense to the county by persuading prisoners to plead guilty to charges when the ev dence against them was absolutely convincing as to their guilt, and in many other ways. Evidently Detective Fisher was of the opinion that a job had been put up to oust him from his position.
He said to the Supervisors that he had been informed that Ex-Supervisor and ExSheriff George C. McMullen had him because of his action in the case of Felix Pertle, who Was charged with having stood up McMullen out in the country in December last, and whose case was dismissed in the Superior Court on January 22d, because of insufficieney of evidence. Chairman Morrison and all the other members of the Board emphatically denied that McMullen or any one else ever spoke to them in reference to the matter concerning Fisher. Chairman Morrison stated that he had the highest regard for Mr. Fisher as a man, and that he was convinced Fisher was an efficient officer.
The position of County Detective, said Chairman Morrison, was created for the benefit of the District Attorney's office. He wanted every office-holder treated alike. None of them, said the Supervisor, should have cause to say all they wanted, while others they got from the Board of given the same consideration by the Board. The District Attorney has been requested to obtain evidence against persons suspected of selling liquor without a license, said Chairman Morrison, but he has not called on Detective Fisher to go out and get the necessary evidence sO that warrants could be issued for the arrest of the violators of the law. Much of the work in the nature of procuring, said evidence Morrison, against should be accused performed by the District Attorney and the Sheriff.
If Sheriff Johnson wants to appoint Fisher a regular deputy, and for that purpose, he could do so, pay him, continued the Chairman, but the county should not be put to the extra expense that it is now putting up with. Supervisor Jenkins remarked that the District Attorney has said the Board cannot create the office of County Expert, but it seemed to the Supervisor that District Attorney Ryan considered the creating of the position of County Detective was proper, notwithstanding his adverse to Supervisor McLaughlin concerning the position of expert. Chairman Morrison, it was stated, will most likely make his motion to dismiss Fisher er and to employ an attorney to colect the money drawn by Frank O'Brien as clerk to the District Attorney, to-morrow morning. The following saloon bonds were approved: Samuel E. Curry, Folsom; F.
Bacelli, two mies east of the city; E. Graff, Twelve-Mile House on the Auburn Road: J. F. Heenan, Riverside Road; Derr Johnson, Mayhews; Jos. Groeder, Grand Island; Wm.
Morris, Seventh and I Streets; James Duffee, 1022 Fourth Street; Herman Ahrens, Thirty-first and Streets. County. Surveyor J. C. Boyd, Henry Meiss and E.
C. Raymond were appointed viewers to view the proposed route for a new road from the Jackson Road to Carbondale in the Fifth Supervisor Road District. COUNTY RECORDER COHN EXPLAINS. Says the Extra Clerks Were No Accommodation to Him. County Recorder R.
T. Cohn was asked by a Bee reporter this morning what would be the result concerning the two extra clerks now employed in his office by yesterday's action of the Board in rescinding the authority given the corder to employ the clerks to extend abstracts of mortgages, deeds of trust and other obligations. In reply, Mr. Cohn said he presumed Clerks Gerson and Dixon would at work at least until the Board acts upon their demands for the month o1 January. "The employment of the two clerks is no benefit to me," said Mr.
Cohn. 'The work they are doing is for the assistance of the County Assessor in the performance of his duties. "The law requires that the Recorder nust annually transmit to the Assessor a complete abstract of all mortgages, deeds of trust, contracts, and other obligations by which any debt 1s secured, remaining unsatisfied on the records of his office, not barred by the Statute of limitations, at 12 o'clock on the first Monday of March in each year. "The law also provides," continued Mr. Cohn, "that when necessary the Board of Supervisors must provide fo: the payment of such additional clerical force as may be required to enable the Recorder to comply with the law." Referring to the Board's action in withdrawing authorization for the employment of the two clerks, which the Recorder thinks was done because he has refused to draw a warrant for $75, in favor of County Expert Joseph Hill Mr.
Cohn had this to say: "One of my reasons for not signing Mr. Hill's warrant is because the law does not permit the Board of Supervisors to create the office of County Expert. There is another and proper way for Mr. Hill to get his money, but he should not put in his claim as County Expert, as the Board has no power to create any such office. The District torney also informed me that the Board has no authority to create the position occupied by Mr.
Hill. "Regarding now, my action in withholding my signature from Elwood Bruner's1 warrant for representing the county or the Assessor in the assessment suit brought against that official by James Bailey, I will say I did not draw the warrant because the District Attorney told I me the matter was a personal one, and that the county was not a party to the action."

ENTERPRISING PEOPLE. Old Tuolumne County Is Forging Right Ahead. JAMESTOWN February This year is to see more railroad building in the mountains of the mother lode and the work was commenced yesterday on the surveys for three feeders for the Sierra Road, to radiate from this town. The roads are to be operated by electricity, for the reason that the grades can be made heavier, and the company, through its relations with the Blue Lakes electric the power to use. The three roads will connect Jamestown with Sonora, Jacksonville and the Stanislaus River.
The line to Sonora will continue out Fifth Avenue, following Woods Creek a distance of about four miles. The second survey will be southward to Jacksonville, near the Tuolumne River, some eight or nine miles from here, and the third road will be built in the direction of the Rawhide mine, continuing to the Stanislaus River. T. S. Bullock, the prime mover of the Sierra road, said that the three roads were to be feeders for the main line, and they would be built immediately, provided the rights of way could be secured without trouble and without too great expense.
The power for the proposed line will be received from the Blue Lakes plant on the Mokelumne River, over a pole line now about completed from the plant toward the Rawhide mine. A Slap at Carlisle.

FIRE RAGING SAN FRANCISCO.
The Phelon Building on Market Street in Flomes. A GENERAL ALARM HAS BEEN SENT IN. It Looks as Though This Big Buildin, One of the Finest. on Market Street, Is Doomed to DestructionIt Started in a Photograph Gallery, SAN FRANCISCO, February 2:30 o'clock this afternoon an explosion of chemicals in Marceau's photograph gallery set fire to the Phelan Building on Market Street, one of the most modern and best equipped office buildings in this city. The fire is spreading and a general alarm has been sent in.
It is a five story structure with Man- sard roof and the fire broke out in the southwest corridor on the fourth floor, on the Market Street side. The flames quickly spread to the fifth story and roof, and at 3 o'clock the efforts of the Fire Department were especially direct. ed at that portion of the building occupied by the Marceau gallery, which has a frontage of about thirty feet on Mar- ket Street. An immense volume of water is being poured into the building, and the proo- ability is that the interior will be completely gutted, unless the ire is controlled in short order. Later (3:30 p.
The fire is now under control. The loss on the building is about $12,000. Marceau's loss will probably exceed that figure. The fire was confined to Marceau's section of the building, which is divided into three sections, separated by fire walls. LOUEY SAM SAW, AND DROVE FOR HIS COIN.

Stands Charged With the Murder of His Relatives. THE EXAMINATION LASTED ONLY A FEW MINUTES. The Defendant Was Represented by Attorneys Reese Clark and C. A. Lamont--The Criminal Did Not Seem to Take Much Interest in the Case.
SUISUN, February Belew apeared before Justice Maynard this morning for preliminary examination upon, sister the Susie charge of having murdered on November 8th last by poisoning her. defendant was represented by Attorney Reese Clark, of Woodland, and Attorney C. A. Lamont, of Suisun. Belew apparently took much interest in the testimony, and frequently gazed around the Court-room as if looking for his acquaintances.
When Deputy Sheriff Donaldson testified as to the confession that he had killed his brother and sister with rat poison, he assumed a rather Indifferent look and showed not the slightest sign of remorse. The first witness called was Constable Newby, of Dixon, who testified as to having taken the tea kettle from the residence of the deceased to Prof. Grinstead to have the contents analyzed. He said Frank Belew suggested to him the idea that poison had been placed in the kitchen utensil. Bruno Klun testified that he wes employed in Lewis Belew's livery stable.
He slept in that building and boarded at the house of the deceased. On the morning of November 8th, about 6:30 a meal was prepared by Susie Belew and after breakfast he returned to the livery stable. Prof. Grinstead, of Dixon, gave evidence as to the kettle being handed to him by the Deputy Sheriff at Dixon, and that he applied three tests to deterthe presence of arsenic which he found in considerable quantities. Dr.
W. G. Downing, of Suisun, who assisted in the post mortem examination on the body of Susie Belew gave evidence in connection therewith and also furnished testimony showing that Klun was treated for arsenical poisoning. Deputy Sheriff George B. Donaldson was called and averred that Frank Belew had on Sunday morning following his confession to press representatives admitted his guilt.
At the close of the testimony Justice Maynard held the defendant to answer to the charge, of having murdered his sister, without bail. ALONG THE COAST. Fire Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles destroyed the Smith warehouse, which extends from upper Main Street to New High Street on Bellevue Avenue. A large quantity of goods was stored in the place, including the hardware stock of Holbrook, Merrill Stetson. This loss will reach $5000, partially covered by insurance, and Smith's loss is at least $5000 more, with no insurance.
There will be no fiesta this year in Los Angeles. The Committee of Thirty, in whose hands the calling or abandoning of a festa was left, decided to abandon the attempt to hold this year the annual festival. The direct cause of the collapse of the fiesta of 1898 was the refusal of the transportation companies contribute toward the expense fund.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difficult breathing: headache, fickle appetite, nervousness and a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue, and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obstinate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach. To secure a prompt and healthy digestion is the one necessary thing to do, and when normal digestion is secured the catarrhal condition will have disappeared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the safest and best treatment is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at ail drugstores under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being a patent medicine, can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booner, of 2710 Dearborn Chicago, writes: "Catarrh a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose becomes inflamed and the poisonous discharge therefrom, passing backward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing catarrh of the stomach.
Medical authorities prescribed for ne for three years for catarrh of st mach without cure, but to I am the happiest of men after using only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use.
