THE METHODISTS.
Some Crooked Work Done in the Elec
tion of Bishops.
New York, May 23d.—The Slethodist
Conference resumed balloting this morn
ing. J. W. Joice of Ohio was elected for
£ e j Ji nJ"^' re<*iving 330 votes;
Goodsell, 286; Newman, 237; Payne, 167
The sixth ballot failed to elect. I)r
Newman led, receiving 252 votes. Good
sell, Payne and Cranston in the order
named.
On the seventh ballot there was no elec
tion. There were 441 votes cast, making
21t4 necessary to a choice. Newman and
Goodsell each received 253.
Bishop Bowman presided. The Disci
pline was changed to provide that a preacher
who should be regularly tried and ex
pelled should not be entitled to partake of
the sacraments or baye the privilege of
church society without reformation and
confession satisfactory to the Conference
also, providing for the" withdrawal of travel
ing preachers accused of immorality.
THEY ALL DO IT.
Astonishment was caused when the sev
enth ballot for Bishop was announced, by
the statement of Bishop Merrill. He said
the tellers had thrown out two votes which
had been folded together in such a way as
if it was evidently intended they should
fall apart when taken from the hat. He
also had found a double ballot nearly torn
in two with the same name on both halves.
The delegates rose to denounce the sharp
practice. The tellers were sustained.
The result of the tenth ballot will not be
announced till to-morrow. It was stated
however, that Rev. Dr. Newman was
within twelve votes of being elected, Good
sell second, and Dr. Cranston third.
BORCHERS AGAIN.
The Sacramento Roy Pilots the Chlca
goea to Another Victory.
Chicago, May 23d.— The new California
pitcher, Borchers, was in the box to-day,

three good hits and a base on balls were
made off him. Th-j Chicagoes hit Gleason
pretty hard throughout. Score— Chicago
7, Philadelphia 4.
A DBKABY DAY AT PITTSBUBG.
Pittsbubg, May 23d.— The game to-day
was played iv a cold rain, against the
wishes of the visitors and umpire. The
Washingtons won by hard work and good
playing, although in the eightn inning it
looked as though I'ittsburg would catch
them. Only 300 people saw the game.
Score — Washington 5, Pittsburg 4.
THE BEAN-EATERS WOLLOP THE HOOSIEBB.
Indianapolis, May 23d.— The batting of

A GRAND JOURNEY.
Colorado Voutlis Preparing for a Novel
—-« «f — itine Trii>.
Dknveii, May 23d.— A special from Glen
wood Springs, Col., says : Some weeks ago
the Carr brothers conceived the idea of
making a novel aud exciting excursion this
summer, which for boldness has seldom
been equaled. They propose to start from
this point and «o by water to the tiulf of
California. The route is down Roaring
.Fork to the Bio Grande, through I'tah and
Arizona, and then into Mexico by the
Colorado river.
Some of the grandest canyon scenery in
the world is to be i-een along this route,
notably Cataract Canyon, in I'tah, aud the
Marble and Grand Canyons, in Arizona.
Owing to the many rapids, the trip will be
a continual round of danger and excite
ment. A boat has been especially built for
the trip, and is very strong. Jn shape it
resembles a torpedo boat, the forward part
being covered with a light decking, to pro
tect provisions and ammunition. Air
tight compartment* are arranged in several
places to prevent sinking in case of acci
dent.
The Carr brothers expect to take several
weeks for the trip, and will fish and hunt
when opportunity offers. If nothing oc
curs, the start will be made to-morrow
evening.
AFTER THE DUCATS.
Sullivan and McCaffrey Figuring on a
Profitable Hippodrome.
PiiiLADKi.riri.i, May 23d.— John L. Sulli
van arrived here on Monday, and acted as
referee in a wrestling bout between Captain
James C. Daly, of New York, and Professor
William Miller, the Australian. The bout
was a poor one, and resulted in a draw.
Sullivan talked freely in private. He is to
have an interest in a circus with John B.
Doris and other Boston parties who are
Retting it up, and he thinks he will do an
act in the ring with a couple of ponies.
Sullivan has been offered $5,000 to fight
Dominick McOaiFrey ten rounds at Glou
cester, N. J., before June loth. The big
fellow said he would consult his partners,
and if they were willing he would meet
McCaffrey, who, it is agreed, must have an
equal sum of money. It i 9 thought that as
40,000 people saw the ball pame at Glou
cester on Sunday, there would be no trouble
in petting $20,000 in gate money from a
Sullivan-McCaflrey fight.
A DOUBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Trains Pltuige Into a Ravine, One
Upon the Other.
Kansas City, May 23d.— About five miles
from here the Wabash and Hannibal and
St. Joe tracks run parallel. Last night a
terrific rain washed away a bridge over a
ravine, and early this morning a Rock
Island freight train came around the curve
and plunged into the ditch. Brakeman
Royston was instantly killed. Brakeman
Armstrong went ahead to flag the
Hannibal freight, and walked along the
Wabash track by mistake. The Wnbash
freight dashed around the curve and struck
him, killing him instantly. The train
rushed in and dropped down on the wreck
of the Hock Island train.
The b.xties of two dead men, supposed to
bs tramps. were tak°n out from the Wabash
wreck. Engineer McClellan, of the Wabash
train, Een Morris, a neiiro train hand, and
Joe Snider, the Rock Island fireman, were
seriously and perhaps fatally injured.
SEVEN LIVES LOST.
Latee. — It now appears that seven lives
were lost in the wreck. Ben . Xorris. the
negro who was fatally injured, says an old
man and his son were in the box-car with
him, and they have not yet been accounted
for. There is also said to be another tramp
buried in the ruins. Two hundred men are
at work clearing away the debris.
JURY- FIXING.
Sensation at a Boodle Trial in a Chicago ,
Court.
Chicago. May 23J.— There was another
sensational scene in the Welch jury-brib
ing case to-day, when the prosecution
closed its side of the case ■with a motion
that Welch be required to give bail for his
appearance in Court when the trial is re
turned Monday.
•' We shall also esk the Court," continued
the attorney, "to hold Sumner 'O. Welch,
C. B. Holmes and Win. Starkly to the
SACKAMENTO, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1888.
Grand Jury on criminal charges of con
spiring to defeat the ends of justice."
This created a great commotion in court.
The Court fixed Welch's bail at $5,000. but
said nothing as to the other matter. C. B.
Holmes is Superintendent of the Chicago
City Railway, which controls the extensive
South Side cable system, and is well
known throughout the East for his connec
tion with Sunday-school work and philan
thropy. Welch was an agent who made
a business of settting claims against the
company, and it is charged that he and
Starkey, an attorney, hove been engaged in
bribing juries in suits brought against the
railway. The prosecuting attorneys claim
that all this was done with Holmes' con
sent and connivance.
RAILROAD ALLIANCES.
The Burlington and Union I'arili,/.- Al
leged Combination.
Chicago, May 23d.— The 71tuw will say
to-morrow : " The recently- formed alliance
between tb« Burlington and Union Pacific
is significant. It looks very much as if
these two roads had entered into a freight
compact on tr Lisrontinental business,
which cuts the Der r and Rio Grande out
between Denver and Salt Lake, ' cuts
the Rock Island oat between On.- j and
Chicago. If such arrangements have been
made it is unquestionably in retaliation for
the agreement entered into between the
Rio Grande and Rock Island, for an inter
change of tratlic as soon as the latter road
is completed to Colorado Springs."
"LEY DE FUEGO."
Tin. Mexican Definition of " Run and
Take Your Medicine."
jCojiyright, I*SS, by the California Auociat'd Prr3t.\
St. Loris, May 23d.— A dispatch from
]>;iraiii;o, Mexico, referring to the killing of
William Mulley, a land and cattle owner,
at his hacienda by robbers, says: "Soon
after the assassination a lot of soldiers and
police were on the ground. The robbers
were known, acd s.ven were quickly in
the hands of the authorities. The party
set out for the Judge's Court at San Miguel
del Mezquital, but as ordinary trials are
long and expensive and are not always
satisfactory, the seven prisoners were given
a short way to justice by " Ley de Kuego,"
that is, they were allowed to try to escape,
and in this effort for freedom were all shot
dead. Soldiers are in full pursuit of the
others engaged in the murder, and it is ex
pected all will be captured and killed.
AN AWFUL WARNING.
A L,l<iuor-Crazed Man Kills His Family
and Then Himself.
Cleveland (O.), May 23d.— Late this af
ternoon Wm. J. McFarland quarreled with
his wife while under the influence of

the oldest child died Tins uflected McFar

AN AWFUL FATE.
A Deceived and Deserted Girl ltrutally
Hurdered by Her Father.
Curtis (Neb.), May 2:id.— Mrs. Annie
Bryant was murdered by hor father, Wm.
Greenwood, last night. She had just given
birth to a child, after being married oaly
three months. Her husband had left the
country. She was only sixteen years of
age.
Further particulars show the murder to
have been one of the most brutal ever
heard of. The girl was seduced some time
ago and her betrayer compelled to marry
her, but he immediately deserted her
and tied. The girl came home a
couple of months ago from Omaha
and her father was terribly enraged
at her. Yesterday when be returned from
town and found that his daughter had
been delivered of a child five minutes be
fore, he deliberately drew a revolver and
shot her dead in bed, and would have done
the same with the babe had not his wife
seized it and fled. It is thought he will be
lynched.

Walker of Missouri, from the" Committee

adverse to the bill, and extending the tirce
daring which rlaims may be allowed fn?
arrears of pensions. The report states that
it will require $500,000;000 to carry out the
provisions of the bill.
Walker cays the bill^if passed, will not
only dispose of the surplus, but will also
add several hundred millions to the bur
dens of the nation, already weighted down
by taxation. In conclusion, he says that the
American people have net only been lair
and just to the ei-soldiers, but have enacted
pension laws with a liberality and genei
osity unparalleled in the pension legisla
tion of any country on the earth. In be
half of the tax-paying public, a large ma
jority of whom are struggling to make a
living—and many even struggling to keep
the wolf from their doors—he protests
against the passage of the bill.
OPEN SESSIONS.
Prospect of the Fisheries Treaty Being
Hoard in Open Senate.
{Copyright, 1S. C .S, hy tiir California Atmetatti l>r?ss.\
Washington, May 23d. — The Western
Senators made another attempt to-day to
have the Senate decide to consider the fish
eries treaty in open session. No vote was
taken on the proposition, however, because
the Republicans did not see their way clear
to bring the light to a successful issue.
Only one vote, that of Senator Hale, stands
in front of opening the Senate doors, and
that, it is believed, can be carried by the
Republicans when the matter is properly
presented to him. He was absent to-day
when the question came up, and that left a
tie. He is expected to be in his seat again
to-morrow, when another effort will be
made in the interest of the open considera
tion of the treaty.
Senator Stewart said to-night that he be
lieved it only a question of time as to
when the treaty would be discussed in
open session.

{Copyright, li>SS, by the California Associated Press. ]
Washington, May 23d. — Breckenridge,
after commenting on the failure of the Re
publicans to decide on a bill to be offered
as a substitute for the Mills bill, says it in
dicates that they are in as bad a fix as the
Democrats. " Talk about the two wings of
the Democratic party," he said, " why, the
Republicans can't agree on any bill. I
understand they intend to make an effort
to force free sugar upon us. Well, they
will fail in that. Do I think that we can
pacify the tobacco men? Well, yes ; that
is, unless they want the internal revenue
tax on tobacco abolished. This we can't
do. 1 don't know, however, that we are
obliged to have them, anyhow. Randall
and his following are not half so important
to-day as they were a few years ago. The
fact is, the power of the protection wing —
as it is called — of the Democratic party is
on the wane. The Mills bill will pass, and
that, too, without substantial amendment."
The bill, be thought, would be taken up
again next Monday, to be considered under
the five-minute rule.
LITTLE PHIL.
General Sheridan'H Nervous Prostration
—He is Much Uetter.
[Cojiyriyft!, ISBP, >>y the c'u'i/nrma Atiociat'ii I'rtu.}
Wabhikgtok, May 23d. — General Sheri
dan is resting much easier to-night, and
part of the evening he was able to be
propped up in b?d. The reports sent out
about the alarming symptoms of his illness
have brought a large number of anxious
friends to his residence.
At his house to-night it is said that there
is nothing alarming about his condition,
and that he is only a little out of sorts. His
present illness was brought about, his
family say, by traveling in a sleeping-car
four or tive nights from Chicago, where lie
had been on a visit.
A gentleman who saw the General's
physicians says that he is informed that
the attack is one of nervous prostration.
To-night General Sheridan has received
several intimate friends. His family think
he will be all right again in a few days.
IT WAS AN AI'OFLECTIC STROKE.
.Copyright, ISSS, bylhe California Aisociatrd rrru.}
Washington, May 23d— From thoroughly
reliable sources it is learned that the story
of Sheridan's illness was only half told.
He has been very ill— dangerously so — for
twenty-four hours. On Monday at the
dinner-hour his condition was such as to
cause his family and physicians to fear his
demise at auy moment. He had a stroke of
apoplexy. Being the second he has had.
the alarm of the family »nd physicians can
well be understood.
On account of the eilons of members of
the household and intimate friends to con
ceal the true facts of the General's illness,
it is difficult to learn when the first symp
toms appeared, but from the saiue reliable
source it is known that no less than tive
physicians were in consultation on Monday
night and Tuesday morning. Three sur
geons—O'Reilly and Harvey of the army,
Hnd Dr. Yarrow were in attendance all
night ou Monday.
It is also positively asserted that a priest
was seen to hurriedly enter the house sim
ultaneously with the doctors. He re
mained in the house all night, showing
that the family were prepared for the worst.
Yesterday a skilled nurse from N«w York
was telegraphed for, and, it is understood,
arrived last night.
All Monday night the General was in a
semi-conscious state and experienced great
difficulty in breathing. On that account
the physicians would not allow him to lie
down. He was kept in a sitting position,
and even in this position it was with the
greatest difficulty that he couid be aroused
from the stupor he was in and his breath
ing made easier.
It was not until noon on yesterday that
he showed signs of improvement. He has
continued to improve, however, and is now
believed to be past the critical stage.

SEVERE CRITICISM.
What U Said of Judge Nash'B Woman
Suffrage Decision.
{Copyright, JBSS, by Uie California Associated Prai.]
Vancouver (W. T.), May 23d.— Judge
Nash, the newly appointed Judge of the
Spokane Falls District, rendered an opinion
yesterday declaring unconstitutional the
Woman Sutlrage Act passed by the late
Legislature of Washington Territory, his
only point being that the organic Act does
not authorize the Legislative Assembly to
confer the right of sutlrage on women, and
his only authority is the infamous Dred
Scott case.
Your correspondent at once showed the
opinion to one of the rjost eruinf-nt jurists
on the coast, ex-Chief Justice Dennison,
for forty years a practising attorney, re
questing his opinion as to the chances of
woman suffrage. This aged jurist said the
decision of Judge Nash is a 'fine specimen
of judicial imbecility and nonsense. It is
a feeble attempt to imitate the decision in
the Dred Scott case. The one decision is
about as commendable as the other. Both
contain more political claptrap than any
thing else.
This Judge Nash was a Colonel in the
rebel army and a law partner once of At
torney-General Garland.

Walla Walla, May 23d.— In the arson
trial to-day Mrs. Landis, who occupied and
rented the two-story building on Poplar
street the night the Aurora Hotel was
burned, and a man named Clink were
placed on the stand. On motion of
the prosecuting attorney, Mrs. Laudis
(otherwise Mooney\ was discharged and
placed on the witness-stand. She testified
that on the night of the fire Clinlr came to
her and said : "The Aurora Hotel is going
and this place will have to go too." She
says she objected, when Clink placed a pis
tol to her face, saying he would kill her if
she made any objection, and that dead per
sons tell no tales. She says Clink satur
ated the hall with half a can of ooal oil. and
made her fetch another can, which he also
threw around.
Other witnesses testified that Clink en
deavored to persuade them to help him
work up a case against Mrs. Shaw, who
lodged in Mrs, Landis' house, staling that
the reward on her conviction would be $1 -
000.
From appearances, the whole crowd have

TROUT GALORE.

Baird (Shasta county), May 2'Jd. — All the
trout at tie United States breeding nutiim
on the J'cCloud aiyer have l»een turned
loose int'i the public waters of the State.
Besides tje large trout which have so been
disposed of a large nutaber of youug liah
are bein* hatched, which, when they have
arrived at the proper age, -will also be re
leased iato the 'icCloud river or its tribu
taries. There will probablj be upward of
50,000 at these last.
It is aot known exactly kow many large
trout -»ere released, but there were several
thousand of them, ot which, upward of a
thousand weighed from two to six pounds
each..
The introduction of sa many trout into,
the MeCloud cannot but have a very favor
ably effect upon tho lishini; in that rive.-,
ami as the trout in this locality frequently
dr^p dowa below the mouth of the Mc-
Cloud and spread to other streams, it is
hoped tniit the trout supply o{ all the heaii

by this release of lisli from the Government
