Only twenty ot the Woodland men arrived, and it was agreed that ten of their men be avowed to shoot twice. The day was most disagreeable, there being a strong south wind. The Woodland com pauy made 10S3 againsi 1007 tor Marys vi lie. They did not consider it a victory, as when the first twenty men had shot, Marysville was sixteen ahead, and the Woodland captarh put in his ten best men and turned defeat into victory. Major Carson, Lieutenant Prende and the mem bers of the Woodland company were en tertained at dinner after the contest by Captain Lvdon and Lieutenants Belcher and Voss of Company 0. INVADED BY RELIC HUNTERS. Jackson Park in the Possession of the Public. Chicago, Jan. I.— Jackson Park, with its relics of the fair, came into the posses sion of the public to-day. The wagon gates were thrown wide open, the turn stiles taken down and the Columbian Guards retired before the onslaught of the crowd. Visitors carried away everything they could lay their hands on as memen toes. Two men climbed to the top of the Maehomnies fountain in search of relics, but were dragged away by the police. MURDER THE CHARGE. Inquest Upon the Bodies of Smith's Victims. The Accused Held on a Charge of Having Brutally Killed His Two Partners. Cor.usA, Jan. l.— The Coroner's inquest on the bodies of Charley and D Ipii, the two fishermen who were so frightfully butchered near Colusa, which wa* ad journed until next Thursday, was recon vened to-day in the Superior Ccurt room. Fremont Smith, the man who was ar rested near Benicia and returned to Colusa, wasput uvon the stand. Nothing new was brought out connecting the sus pect with the crime, unless it was a pair of large blood-stained shoes which were pro duced and which he was requested to try on. The accused said he did nut need to try them on as he identified them as a pair of his old slices, which he had thrown ; away several days before he left camp. He became a little tangled in hi? testi mony as to where he baa thrown tliem, and said he did not know how tue blood came upon them. A telegram was rece'ved from the Sheriff who had charge of the buckboard and bag eag?, stating that amoug the effects was a pair of blood-stained overalls, but they did not arrive on today's train to be used at the inquest. After trying in every way to get Smith to tell the names ot his two deceased partners he positively declared that Dolpb and Ciiarley were the only names he knew them by. The Coroner asked the jurors if they were satisfied with the evidence. The jurors said they were, and, after deliberation, rendered the following verdicts: "We, the jury, sum moned by Coroner J. 11. Jones in the in- Qtiest of one man named Charley, do find that he came to his death by a gunshot wound at the hands of one Fremont Smith, and we hereby charge said Fremont Smith with the murder of said party called Charley; and we further find and give the following description of the deceased: Height 5 feet 10 inches, well proportioned hair dark brown, complexion dark, eyes gray, age about 45 years, weight 150 pounds. The second verdict was: "We the jury snminoned by Coroner Jones in the inquest of one man named Dolph, do find that he came to his death by a sharp instrument, hatchet or ax, in the hands of Fremont Smith, and hereby charge the said Fre mont Smith with the murder of the said Dolph; and we further find and give the description of the deceased as follows: Height 5 feet G inches, well proportioned, moderate build, light brown hair, fair com plexion, gray eyes, agp about 35 years, light mustache, weight 150 pounds." A reporter tried to nee Smith, but the Sheriff said he was locked in a cell for the nL'iit and he did not wantany Chris Evans escape on his part. The bodies of tne murdered men will be buried to-morrow. REV. DR. CHENEY DEAD. Demise of a Divine Well Known in San Francisco. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. I.— Rev. David B. Cheney, D.

See? . . ■ THE MORNING CALL, SAN FRANCISCO, TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 1894. MADE HER A PORT. Manchester Now a City by the Sea. OPENING OF THE CANAL Will Take Half the Trade of Liverpool. AN ENOR/IOUS UNDERTAKING. Ship-Owners and Its Projectors Alike Believe That It Will Be Successful. Manchester, Jan. I.— The Manchester ship canal was formally opened to-day. The weather was brilliant, and the occa sion was made notable in every way possi ble. There was inucn rejoicing in this city and Ml along the line of the canal. The Mayors and corporations of Man chester and Salworcr started for Latch ford, and at Modewheel joined the sea ves sels which were due at Manchester at 1 o'clock, and the vessels reached M:in .•litster after a passage of throe hours, being cheered upon their arrival by 100,000 people. The greatest enthusiasm was manifested everywhere. The great ship canal from Eastham to Manchester is now an secompllshed fact, and the town of Manchester, situated about forty miles from the seaboard, can be reached by sea from New York in about ten hours after arriving at Liver pool. This means the sudden creation of a great port in direct communication with all parts of the world, close to and partly within the confines of an immense com mercial city and surrounded by an indus trial population of 3,250,000. Besides the actual canal the docks are of the most extensive character. The smaller docks and quays and upper reach will be principally occupied by coasting vessels, while in the larger docks will be moored ships from the United States. Canada, India and, in short, the world. At o'taer docks will be accommodations for cattle and, in fact, Manchester has at one stroke become one of the largest and most Im portant ports of the United X ncdoin. The W( rk is the outcnmeof a seiies of lons investigations in Parliamentary com mittees in the years 1883, 1884 and 1885. The supporters of the canal, who spent £150,000 in obtaining the act, were manu facturers and merchants of Manchester, and its principal opponents were the cor poration of Liverpool. With the use of the electric light steamers will beable to navigate the canal by sight as well as by day, and its whole length will be traversed in abnui ten hours. Some notion of the capacity of the canal may be drawn when we compare its depth with the Suez and Amsterdam canals. The mi nimum width of the bottom of the Suez i> 72 feet and Aid- erdam 88 feet 7 inches, while that of Manchester Is 120 feet. The minimum depth of Manchester and Suez canals is 26 feet and that of Amster dam 23 feet. A statement sicned by IS2 steamship owners, possessing more than 1000 steam er?, their aggregate net tonnage about 1,000,000 tons— more than 25 per cent of the entire steamship tonna^y of the United Kingdom — declares ttiat the canal will be uavigabie without difficulty by merchant steamers of the largest class, and that if the charges on the ship canal are not higher than those of other port* (and they are actually less than BOtt) »hip-*>wner<i will at once make use of the waterway as soon as it Is open for traffic, and the addi tional thirty-five and one-third miles to Manchester from the sea will not increase the rate of freight charged to Liverpool by merchant steamers for a long voyage. It is believed that the quantity of grain carried over the canal will be at least one half of that landed at Liverpool, and it is estimated that at least 105.C00 tons per an num of fruit and vegetables will at once be imported to Manchester by this route. Ten large sugar merchants have stated that not lees than 300,000 tons of sugar per annum will pass through the canal, and with regard to taw cotton, firms in tuedis tr;ct, owning 18,000,000 spindles, declare that nearly all the cotton they use will be brought by the canal. Of outward cargoes there will be no lack, and textile manufac turers have testified their belief that about 500,000 tons per annum will bo dispatched by the new canal. The financial success of the en-rmnus undertaking seems assured. The promot ers of the canal are continent of their abil ity to secure a very large and remunerative traffic, and estimates of profit based upon the capital ag originally proposed were very favorable. The original capital of £8,000,000 has, however, now grown to nearly double that amount, and auticipu tions of protit are not now so sanguine as they were. That there are, however, enormous probabilities of traffic cannot be disputed. WON BY STANFORDS. The Palo Alto Boys Are Again Victorious. By Their Brilliant Playing They De feated the Portland Kickers at Every Turn. Portland, Ore., Jan. I.— The Stanford University football team will return home victorious from their Northern tour, hav ing defeated the Multnomnh Athletic Club of this city to-day by a score of 16 to 0. Although unaccustomed to a wet cli mate the Californians proved themselves veritable mud larks, the field being a sea of water and mud. From early morning rain poured steadily down, yet 4000 people witnessed thegnme. In the fi^t half the Multnomah team did some excellent work and neither side scored, though the team work of the Stan fords was well nigh perfect. When the teams were called oat for the last half the result of the hard work in the first half was very noticeable on the Portland team. The Stanfords started in and simply bucked the line, making small gains until they scored a touchdown. They failed to kick aoal, however. The Stanford* had an easy task from that time on. Their revolving wedges were very effective, and time after time they worked them, making gains on every trial. Their end-playing whs brilliant. The Stan lords made a number of brilliant end pla»>, and Jn every particular out played the Portland team, which showed a woeful lack of training in team work. George C. Carter of Seattle was referee and W. E. Haclier of Tacoma umpire. Fbesno, Jan. I.— An interesting game of football was played here this afternoon betwnen the High School team and the Spectators. It was the best ever held In this city. A. E. Snow umpired the game to the satisfaction of both teams. ACCUSED OF SMUGGLING. Arrest of the Engineer of a Lake Steamer. Spokane, Wash., Jan. I.— Charles Bod man, one of the nest-known engineers of the Nnrihweet, bus iven arrested by Special Agent McCoy on a charge of smuggling opium. McCoy was sent from Wasnington to investigate the rumors of extensive smuggling said to be carried on along the border north of Spokane, and this arrest is the result of his investiga tion. Bodnian has been chief engineer on one of the boats of Kootenai Lake and has alway« borne an excellent reputation. He bas held many responsible positions with the Northern Pacific. He stoutly protests his innocence. He was taken before Uuited States Commissioner Ken yon and his bonds were fixed at $5000. CUT WITH A RAZOR James Dolan Attempts to Kill His Wife. The Murderous Assault That He Made Upon Her While He Was Crazed With Drink. Shortly after C» o'clock yesterday morn ing James Dolan, while in a drunken Ot, made a murderous assault with a razor upon his young wife, Tilly Dnlan, in their homo at the southeast correr of Tehama and Fourth streets. Dylan's occvpation is that of a clerk, but at the present time he is out of employment. For the past month he has been drinking steadily, com ing home at night, beating and abusing his wife in a shameful manner. Ashorttimw ago her screams attracted the attention of a passing officer, who ran into the house and arr«-.tfi the cruel husband. Mrs. Do lan refused to prosecute. The case was dismissed. On Sunday nieht Dolan caroused around until daylight Monday morning. When he reached home about 6 o'clock he was very drunk, and proceeded to continue his usual practice of wbippine his wife. After knocking her down several times with his fist he. drew a razor from his pocket and began slashing it across her arms, face and limbs. She finally man an<d to break away from him, aud with blood streaming from all portions of her body, ran screaming to her brother's house nexf door. Dnlan attempted to fol low her to finish. his work of butchery. Officers Ackinson and lMvis hearing the woman's screams arrived in time to arrest Dwlan and take biro to the Southern station and later transferrred him to the new City Hall, where he was registered on a charge of assault to murder. Mrc. l)olan was found to nave received Bine gatsMes in all from which she lost a considerable amount of blood. None of the wounds are fatal, unless blood poipon ingsets in. She ia now lying ai her brother's home, where shu was attended by a puy> ician. MRS. VIGNOSA DEAD. Her Brother Asks an Autopsy, but None Will Be Held. Frank Mnugey of 639 Washington street called at the Coronei'« office last night and said that his sisttr, Mrs. Eugenia Vignosa. had died at 1:30 </cl >ck yesterday after noon at her home, 1282 DuDont street, and that ne wanted an autopsy held on her bidy, as he believed she had been poisoned. Mougey is the man wh". on the 13th of last August, arrived from Dakota for the purpose of guarding hts sister, who, he siid, feared she would be poisoned by her husband, from whom die was separated. The parties all lived in Dakota, and Mr-. Vignosa's obji'ot in coming to San Fran cisco wns to get a divorce from her bna !)uud. The suit was instituted in Septem ber lasi. charging the husband with an attempt to poison her. In reply he denied all the allegations and filed a contra com plaint, with lie result that when :he eSM '•aiiiH up before Judfze Garbfr he obtained a nonsuit aad tlie case was thrown out of court. Mrs. Vipnosa's dread pver sinre her separation from her husband In 18G5 has been that he would try to poison her, but so far as the evidence introduced in court showed no thought of such an act ev«r en tered his hPftd. Her brother also enter tained roeb fears which resulted in his request yesterday. Abrutsix weeks ago Mrs. Vignosa fell ill with pneumutm. She was attended by a "number of doctors, among wboin was Dr. McLean. Dr. Hostetter and Dr. Fouchyv the latter of whom signed her death certificate for oneumonia of the lungs. ' He says that tho woman died of DPfiimoma and nothing else; that her death was not, cPtised or even aided by poison, and that it is only faucy on the part of her brother. At her d^atb she was worth about 835,000. The Coroner will not bold an aut(.p-<v. Copies of " Picturesque California" can be secured at the fallowing places: San Kran tisco - 710 Markrt street.

And the Naval Supremacy of England Restored. FORCED A HUMBLE APOLOGY. There Was More Than a Threat of Resignation Over the Govern ment's Action. * New York, Jan. I.— Edmund Tares cables the Tribune from London: The Queen's Courier, who is the director of her Continental journeys, has been staying at Florence, at the Hotel, del Arno et Grande Bretagne, for the purpose of comple'ing arrangements for her residence at the Villa Fabbrieotte. luasmuch as accom modation is required fox nearly seventy persons it will be necessary to rent two booses in the neighborhood, one fur a number of royal servants for whom there is no room in the villa and the other for the Indian attendants, whose company would be joyfully dispensed with by the manager of the trip, as they always give a great deal of trouble wnen on tne conti nent. The owners of houses on Montughi Hill are already demanding fancy rents for the months of March and April. There are to be tableaux iv the Indian room at Osborne during the week after next. Princesses Louise and Beatrice, the Marquis of Lome and I'nnce Henry of liattenberg will tnke parts, and so will some children now at the palace. The ball which Princess Beatrice and Prince Heury wer« to have given with the Queen's per mission will not take place this winter, in consequence, of the death of Prince Alex ander of Battenberg. The iiueudeii shootiug party at Sand i riughain has been abandoned, in conse quence of the recent illness of the Princess of Wales, which has left her very weak and much depressed, and there will be no more guests there this winter. The Prin cess will tjo to Osborne on a visit to the Queen when she leaves Sandringham weet after next, and later on her Royal Highness and Princesses Victoria and i>laud will probably proceed to Italy and thence to Athens on a visit to the King and Queen of the Hellene?, remaining abroad until the end of April, It may well be hoped that the inde pendence just shown by the sea Lords of the Admiralty will be laid to heart by the Government, and especially by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. Had the latter not apologized for his misstatement, tan gled and ungraceful as the apology was, that the professional advisers of the First Lord of the Admiralty were satisfied with the present very unsatisfactory condition of the navy, the First Lord would soon have been absolutely deprived of any profess onal advisers whatever, for it Is manifest that net a flag-i fficer on the list could have been in duced under the tircumstauces to take the place of those who had tendered ibeir resignations. The announcement in an evening paper that the sea lords had threatened to resign, or, as 1 believe, ac tually had resigned, no doubt, forced the band of Sir William Uarcourt. I have reason to believe that when the new building programmo of the Govern ment 13 discovered, it will be admitted to be fairly sufficient for immediate needs, but what no expenditure of millions can ever redeem is the three months' waste of time before any attempt ran be made to carry out the programme, and this I fear the Government has decided upou as inevitable. THE CHAMPAGNE TRADE. A Few of the Tricks by Which For tunes Are Made or Lost. New York Triliuue. A young man of the town tias decided to ac cept the American agency for a lie w bmud of champagne, aua the announcement of the fact has made elm for the moment lmmeusely popular among his set.

Tnere must "be no flagging. -Brands ihat were .in great Uemand a few years ago are now drop ping out of sight. Only a few Hundred cases are -sold anuually. OtU> rs .nave come to tbe front will) remarkable strides, and ttieir sales ruaupiotbe thousands. ' 'A* many as 80.U00 cases. of a iuiu biaud have been sold in mis country iv one year at a net profit lo tbe agent ol uoi less than $400,000. Such a state meut isenougli to make a young man giddy. Tbe cliamoagne. trade lias many tricks, many secrets. Tlie Frenchmen wno manufact ure and tnose wbo dear In wines bave grown ncli ofl ihe'veoiile of' othe<» coumrl^-s.

So. much has been said and written apout. tbe maij.rilriceut vlueyards of the Koth schild lainiiy, of Count Lainange and oihers tbal tbe uufiiiuiliar world has grownup wnh tlie belief that eveTy biand of champagne on the market is backed by a thousand, acres or grapes. What an absurdity! Why, tbe only .vineyards tnat some; or the greatest wine" 'farms own are In- tbel-r cellars. They buy their millions of bottles wherever they can liud tliem, and send them out over the world as .lie pioduct ot a certain vineyard. They will sell you a hundred different labels and the same wine lor all. It you are skeptical you may write to the bouse of.Grandet . Wavra- Sec, or Birotto • Sec, or any other of the hundred, aud tbe letter, will be received and answeied. promptly. answered : by a clerk jof i he house of Hie bundled labels. It is prob ably no exaggeration to say that tv this city the same wine may. be found under a. dozen differ-. cut labels. That is one of tbe tricks of the tiade. If au ageut cau guarautea to sell a cer tain number of-cases.ln a year he will-receive Iroratlus house.the absolute right to a taiu label lor twenty 'years, aud' ue cau choose any label lie pleases.

The other day a friend of miue was called un by a policeman ringing his front doorbell at L' A. M. ••Do you know where your nurse Is?" was his unexpected inquiry. "She is, I suppose. In the nursery. "Nn, she Is not; she went to a dancing-room In King street (close, by) at 12 o'clock and lias not yet come back." "But that Is impossible, because slie has the baby In charge." "Shf has taken the baby with her." Myfiiendwas incredulous, but on going to the nursery found H empty. Then he went to the dancing-room and was admitted toy a dread fill-looking old hat: with his baby in her arms. It had heen giver,. It appeared, into this lady's charge while the nurse was dancing. A Baffled Solomon. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Two cows recently went astray at Newport News, Va. One belonged to a negro and tte oilier to a white man named Shields. A cow answering tue description of either of the two animals' was puicuused .by 'a farmer not long since. The bereaved men lieanl of Hie purchase and each, claimed tlie animal and presented proor equally convincing. The case came up before a Judee and the jury heard the evidence, but as the witnesses lor each party described the same cow they were unable tosiv-ade cNlon. Then the Judge said he woud turn the cow out on Uie ween. If she went 'owards the negro's farm she should be ills, if she went towards Shields' farm su-shou.d be his. The cow was turned out, but she found the mass so satisfying mat she went neither way.
