A BULLET IN HIS HEART.
Suicide of Z. NY. Davidson, a Nash-
ville Jeweler.
Zacbarias W. Davidson, a jeweler, was
found de.._ in bis room in tbe lodging
house at 615 Taylor street late yesterday
afternoon. He bad shot himself through
the heart with a bullet fired from an old
derringer which lay by his side on the bed.
No one knows just when Davidson fired
the fatal abut, for he was not seen by any
one since Friday morning and tho report
of the pistol was unheard.
Davidson came to this city about two
months ago, leaving a young wile and an
infant at Nashville, Term. He lived at
the Taylor-street house from bis arrival in
the city to his death, but paid the land
lady only two weeks' rent, He told her
that he had been well to do, but had failed
and was unable to find employment. He
was penniless when lie died, but tbe Coro
ner found among his effects deeds showing
thai he owned two lots la Nashville. He
so had an accident insurance policy lor
$5000. Two letters, sealed, stamped and
addressed to his widow, were found on bis
bureau. He was a handsome man, about
30 years ullage, and judging from the tenor
of the letters he had received from bis wife
was idolized by her.

SPIRITS AT CALL.
Depositions in the Lemon
Will Case-
Councilman Dow Says He Does Not
Want a Corporation Nomi
nation.
Oakland Depositions In the will contest
case of the relatives of Marie Lemon against
Mrs. Mary G. Smith, the called "Trumpet"
medium, were yesterday tiled lib the County
Clerk.
They are very voluminous and contain tbe
testimony of William £. Jeffries and Olive K.
Jeffries of Milan, lnd„ and ot Mr. Lemon, the
last husband of the peculiar Mrs. Lemon, who
Is a re* idem of New York.
The depositions all recount bow Mrs. Smith
held seances while in Indian >, which were at
tended by the witnesses and by Mrs. Lemon,
and how ardently the latter believed In the
spirit practices of the medium.
Tbe deposition of one is the deposition of all.
Mr. Jeffries, who is the brother of me deceased
Mrs. Lemon, says that Mrs. Smith was usually
tied ta a chair and bound band and loot. Be
fore being tied she bad placed near tier chau
a trumpet, which she had brought with her.
She staled that she was going to have com
munication with spirits through the medium ot
the trumpet. In a little win!- the trumpet
struck the sitter softly on the dee, and the
sound of a noise came through It in what pur
ported to be the voice of a deceased daughter,
but wiid- recognized tbe voice or Mary G.
Smith. Most, of the messages received were to
Mrs. Lemon.
The mother ot Mrs. Lemon was present and
said her daughter would not follow such advtce
as the trumpet haa eiven, at which Mrs. Lemon
herself became veiy indignant, saying she
would rather take the advice of those who had
passed over the river of darkness than of those
i on this side ii: this sinful world. She was very
I indignant to think tbat any one should ques
tion the sincerity or Mrs. Smith or doubt
the reality of spiritualism.
A suggestion was made that another rope be
used to tie Mrs. Smith, but to this tbe medium
objected, saying that if another rope was used
she could not get answers to questions; that it
would lake tbe spirit a long time to become
accustomed to any other rope, this one having
been so frequently used before. At another
seance the witness say. be b-ard the rattle of
Mrs. Smith's culls as they fell to the floor.
The testimony of the husband of Mrs. Lemon
brought out the tact, that bis suit for divorce
from bis wire was because of the estrangement
caused by the "trumpet" medium.
Councilman Daw's Position.
The name of the president of the City Coun
cil, William A. Dow, lias been mentioned In
connection with tbe office of District Attorn* v
of Alameda County. It seems that he does not
want the nomination from a corporation
pacKed convention, and thus writes pertinently
on tbe subject:
It It is the intention to nominate and elect men
to county offices this rail bo owe no allegiance
to the ring, and who are not subject to corpora
tion influence, it may be that my name will be
placed before the people for that office. But if
i-ie various corporations which have ao often in
terested tbem.elvcs in Alameda County politics
are to control the filling of our public positions,
then lam not a candidate. I believe, however,
that our citizens are in earnest this time, and as
the time for nominations approaches they will
seek man for the various positions who owe no al
legiance except to the people. 1 cannot, there
fore, at this time, tell you positively whether or
not 1 shall stand for office. If it appears, how
ever, that the people are sroing t> have the say in
the matter, 1 shall have my name presented due
time In order that my fitness for the office may be
thoroughly Investigated and considered. Very
respectrully, w. a. Dow.

Tbe Pacific Swimming Club holds its opening
to-day at the Terrace baths, aud an resting
and exciting programme of sport will be car
ried through if the weather is flue.
The club has been In existence for seven
years and In that time has developed some of
the best swimmers, divers and spring-boaid
experts thai there are on the coast and even in
the country. Harry A. Harmon, the high
diver, lacks but 5 feet 3 Inches of making the
highest straight dive on record, and doe* sev
eral other dives that have never been attempt
ed by any other per sou so far as Is Known. At
tbe exhibition to-day lie will do the double
back somersault from the height of 76 feel,
and also the straight dive from the same
height.

record on a half mile, and his partner Dan

boy- are only 16 years of age. Both reside in

made phenomenal progiess In the swimming
art for boys of their age. Tbe half-mile reeoid
of Thompson. 13:20. was made at the Pled,
mout Bulbs last season.
One of the features of today's programme
will be the corKscrew dive of Ed Mnwry. In

and while descending his body whirls round
rapidly, resembling a corkscrew. The so-called

in number. Is an artist, and their programme
to-day promises to excel that of any previous
opening.

tenance maintained a stolid and rather in
different expression, there were visible traces
In bis furrowed and wrinkled face of the coal
motion that has doubtless been going on within.
With the exception of a brief consultation with
bis attorney on two occasions, he sat as un
moved as a statue.
Deputy District Attorney Frlck conducted
tbe examination, but asked very few questions
himself, leaving the interrogating of the wit
nesses mostly to Chapman, for the defense.
Herri-Ban, who was present In tne saloon at
the lime of (be shooting and was the closest
eyewitness there Is, told about the same story
as at the Inquest and previously related in
these columns.
William Scully, who was another eyewitness,
told his story of the shooting and how he asked
Becker for his gun aud bow Becker took it
from his side coat pocket and gave it up. with
the leraark, "Yes, I give it to yen."
A. R. Denke testified to having been present
when Edsoo expired a few minutes after, and
Dr. W. O. Smith as to tbe result of bis post
mortem examination of Edson. and the case
was submitted by the pio-ecutlon.
The defense stated that It had no evidence to
offer at this stage of the proceedings. .
The prisoner was held to answer before the
Superior Court without bond.
