Sackamknto, Feb. 10—There was aclashing of angry tongues in tlie Assemblythis afternoon when tbe World's Fair Billwas placed before t!ie House fur fm.i!action, and the Honorable Dibb'.e of SanPrnnr\scn, who has pushed the hill withal!tbe power of which he is master, was madeto hear certain things that did not cause hisears to tingle with delight, lie was toldthat the Appropriation Bill, on which hehas expended much mental energy, was nutentitled t the slightest respect or considi-ia-tion; it was no more complete tlian Shastais without It.s Snanaban, yet this bill whichDibble w aid feijjn have passed contains a

World's Fair appropriation. These unfeel-ing remarks were made by ilr. Kru^ie ofSacramento, who is one of the youngest andbrar.iie>t laen in the House, -aud who, in thecourse ol the very earnest and vigorousspeech he made on the till, grasped theopportunity to say that iX the S.tn Fran-

\u25a0 cisco leader is going to sacrifice his partyand vi date its pledge not tv exceed the j>i-

ci-nt limit lie would not submit without aprotest. No action, he said, should be takenon this World's Fair Hilluntil the GeneralAppropriation Bill has Ixva passed, and liedeclared that the appropriation could nit bemade for it witiiuiit leaving valued Stateinstitutions in need. It coulJ not bo madewithout violating the EO-cent limit. Thereis an ii.: - of several millions tvbe paid and provided for in 1893,and when that and a.l tbe otherapi>r priatiins are made that must be made,but | .. illremain. Vet \fe are to pay$300,000 11 \u25a0r this fair. It cannot be denewithout violating the 50-cent limit Itis notan extraordinary appropriation. Ifit wereit would not be in the general appropria-tion bML He appealed to the young men ofthe patty to be true to its pledge, and inconclusion he declared that he would nuthave opposed the measure had there been amechanic or laboring man, or a fanner onthe committee that a^ked for the appro-priation.

BRUNEK'S APPK.VL.Bruner, the author of the World* Fair

Bill, replied to Bnuie. Seme of Brusle'astatements were wild aud visionary. Hesaid he wai a young man himself, and wouldnot leave H to Urusie to say to him whathis course should be. lie would not all wBniMe to accuse him of forcing the billfor his own personal interests. He wouldnut yield to him in dexoUou to the Kepub-iiean iarty. The billija national measure ;a Slate measure of the highest importau.ee.Tbe appropriation for the fair would notcause the violation of the 50-eeiit limit. Heappealed to the House for the sake of theSued name aud prosperity of tlie State tovole for the ai \ ropriation.

>'; EDS of mi: state.Renfro said he had been highly *>iiter-

•aiurd by the speeches he had just heard,ie believed In making a good show at Chi-

cago. But he knew of si.me people in the:ouuiy he represents who believed that ifthis appropriation were m.id.> the next Leg-islature would fall heir to a big batch of de-ficiency bills. It was ridiculous to urgethat our \u25a0\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0 ireas needed advertisement.Our mines Deeded no fair or uo appropria-tion to advertise them in 1819, yet alltheworld flocked to them. Allthe world knowsthe kind of wheat we produce. Our marketfor fruit is all within our boundaries, andthere is not a city or village in tile countryin which out California fruit has not beenseen iiii.i *.«•:!. We need uo advertisementfor our resources. But then there is ourland. Tine, hut capitalists come here aud

. look at itand go away without purchasing,because i>ur taxes ate so high. Beduce in-

stead of increase taxes and you will giveus the best advertisement we can deaiie.Hut itiisaid that the exhibition will en-courage immigration. Do you want immi-frratiou, when our Labor Commissioner, inhis report, =a\s that the State is fullof. Idlemen, many of whom lost their last dollaranatheir last hope vhen Lis Angeles was ad-vertising it=elf? Us need no more pooruit-n lliiiu we now have and we willnot geteapil&lUts unless we reduce our taxes.

BlKDKSJEO TAX-PAYEK9.Clark asked the members before voting

for the appropriation to look at the delin-. quent tax-list of their counties and askthemselves whether they would a/id to theburden of taxes which these citizens havesbuwn themselves to be unable to bear, lie

• wanted to know whether the few thousand'dollars th.it have been made by advertisingthe State, couipeasutes lor the blasted for-tunes and broken hearts and the poverty,-misery and woe that have followed in the

, wake of every loom, lie also believed thattbe bill is unconstitutional/ami stated thatwhen Mr.Kstce spoke on its constitution-ality liefore the Judiciary Committee bemisquoted a statute aud was caught in tbe'act.

Shanahan, the self-constituted leader of aparty that promised Ihe people a 45-cent

\ limit, took the floor and wore nis tongue to'a thread in aneffort to have the Republicansviolate their jO-cent pledge. This is Shan-ahan's favorite role.

CONSTITUTIONALITYASSAILED.Cunningham assailed the constitutionality

of the bill. Lie said be determined to op-pose the bill the night ho neard Mills,DeYoung, McDonald and the rest speaking infavor of it. He believed that the fruit-growers, miners aud land-holders of theState, who would be benefited by the exhi-bition, should pay for it Itwas unconsti-tutional to mako the laborers, mechanicsand professional men be taxed for the bene-Mol the fruit-growers, miners aud laud-botderß.

Bled:o3 opposed the appropriation, de-clarine that he for one would go back to hisconstituents withhis pledge uubroken.

IMMEDIATEACTION C110E1).

Dibble urged the immediate passage ofthe billon the ground that the Geueral Ap-propriation Billwillnot be passed uutil theend of the .session, if then passed, and inthe meantime the chance to select a good. site at the fair may be lost. The appropria-

tion asked for would not cause a violation ofthe j'-iinilimit. There would be enough•' money and to spare after providing lor allnecessary expenditure*.

ilatlock said he would vote for the billwhether itresulted In a violation of the 50---cent limit or not

Shocking Tragedy oa a Ranchin Napa County.

in Old and Highly Respected CoupleBonnd, Dragged and Shot

A Farmer Seriously Wounded and His WifeBrutally Murdered— Robbery Evi-

dently Intended.

Fp«clal to The Koumra Cit,u

Napa, Feb. 10.- A crime, which is toohorrible to be depicted by words was com-mitted at the Greenwood Kanch. six milessouth of this city, last evening, the news ofwhich was brought to town this morning.

About 6 o'clock last evening, as CaptainJ. O. Greenwood was on the way to hishouse from the barn, where he had been tomilk liia cows, he was met by two well-dressed strangers, aud upon meeting himthey each presented a pUtol at him andshouted, "

Throw up your bauds." Beiugentirely at their mercy, tie complied, andthey took him to the house, entered thekitchen, and there tied him hand aud foot,after which they compelled him to drinkthree or four swallows of a liquid from abottle which they had. This proved to be adrug to take away his senses, for he gradu-ally lost all feeling and consciousness.

While Mr. Greenwood was liainsz the barnchores his wife hud driven to a neighbor'snear by, to get the mail, and about the timethe two mt'ii had him woll tied and druggedshe returned. As she came up on the porchone of the men met her aud made a grab ather. She dodged quickly back and fell offthe porch. The other man then came to theassistance ami Mrs. Greenwood was draggedinto the kitchen, when she, too, was boundand drugg'd.

By this tiino Mr. Greenwood had becomeunconscious.

Mr. Greenwood parthlly recovered con-sciousness about 11 o'clock, as near as hecan tell, and aft r a great struggle brokethe cord from his lea and madi) his way tothe bed-room to find his wife dead.

As he returned from the bed-room to the'front hall he was again met by the robbersand they then shot him twice, buthbullets entering his left cheek.

He was so weak from theloss of blood and the drugs administeredthat he lay on the floor in the hall where hewas shot until this morning, when bernusea a little and crawled out to the roadwhere a passing ueighbor w:is given thealarm aad assistance was called.

The house had been ransacked from top tobottom and itis evident the men were afterplunder, but Mr. Greenwood says therp wasonly S-J in the house, io their reward wassmall.

The victims of this awful affair werehighly re-pected, ho being a wealthy farmer,and they have lived here many years. Heis tin years old and his wife was a few yearsyounger.

Mr. (ireenwood says he never saw theme n before and no clew as to who they areis left, savo that one of them left his bloodyshoos and they may possibly help solve thoquestion.

Th£ horse which Mr*. Greenwood droveto tho neighbor's last evening was foundnenr the barn this morning. The whole rigshows hard driving and Itis presumed thatthe men drove it a long distance after com-mitting tha crime and then turasd itlooseto come home alone.

Story of the Attempted Train Robbery Near411k

Delano, Feb. 10.—At the Inquest in thecase ofFireman Radcliff, shot by.the train-robbers at Alila Station, Charles C. Has-well. Wells, Fargo &Co.'s messenger, testi-fied as follows:

THE MESSENGER'S STATEMENT."On the night of February 6, 1891, Iwas

messenger for Wells, Fargo & Co. on TrainNo. 17, bound for Los Angeles. At about 8o'clock, ana about one mile south of Alibi,Inoticed the train coming to a sudden stop.Iopeued the door on the, east side of thetrain and looked toward the engine. Isawseveral men climbing down from the engine.My impression was that five men climbeddown to tlieground ou the east side of thetrain. Iknew that only the engineer andfireman belonged en the engine and Iappre-hended at once that the train was to berobbed, and that the lirst object of the at-tack would be the Wells, Fargo & Co. ex-press-car of which 1had charge. Iimmedi-ately turned and double-locked the door,turned out the lights aud took off my shoes.The object of the latter action was thatshould itbecome ni-cessary iv the defenseof the cur to move from otic place to anothermy footsteps could not be heard by those onthe outside. 1determined to defend the earand the property iv my charge belonging tothe company.

DEMANDED ADMITTANCE."Just as 1stepped to the rear door on the

east side there was a rap on the door andsome one .-aid, 'Open the door quick; Iwant to get a link;open it quick.' Imme-diately some one said, 'Open the door quick.'1pressed my face against the glass; 1couldsee out and discern objects generally, butnot distinctly, by the light of the lanternheld in the hands of some one on the ground.A group of men stood close by tbe door ofthe car; one man ou the outside of the groupheld a shotgun in his hands, pointed at thedoor of tliecar, as it anticipating the openingof the door and intending to cover me withthe gun when the door should be opened.While my face was placed close to the glassthe muzzle of the gun ai'proached me withintwo feel uf the window.

SHOTS EXCHANGED."Idrew biickupon perceiving the closeness

of the gun and, partially turned around,when the gnu was discharged and the glassin the upper portion of the door was driveninward by the shot and explosion. Iwasstruck by a buckshot on the brow ot theleltiye. The force of the shot turned mecompletely around. 1was still standing bythe door, and upon recovering my presenceof mind after tiie shot, returned the tirewith a revolver through the opening madein the window by the shot lired from with-out. Iaimed over the heads of those nenrthe car at the man standing on the outside01 the gruup with the shotgun still in hishands and pointed toward the door of thecar. 1lired the shot referred to from a re-volver, and the man threw up his hands asifthe ball from my revolver had takeneffect, lie rnn lrotn tho DOiition he hadoccupied, with the shotgun, toward the headof tin.- train, the soutii end of the car. 1ran to that end of tuo cur, und as he cameinto view Ifired at him with the thotgunthrough the glass of that door of the car.

FLYING liUI.I.KTS."At the time Idischarged the shotgun at

him he was right opposite the door. Theshot appeared not to have taken effect. 1followed itup with a shot from the revolveras he ran away. During the time tips wastranspiring there were many shots fir-dfromtlie outside of the car. The siinta appearedtv nil' tv come from both sides of the car. Iran again to thf rear door and took up theposition Ihad first taken, when a bulletpassed into the enr immediately in front ofme. Oue of the assaulting party was ii;view, standing about ?ix feet behind the restof the party. Ilired at him with the revol-ver twice. As the shots were flyingsu thick1laid down on th- floor alongside of thesafe and reloaded my weapon. The shotson the outside of the c.ir continued for aboutfive minutes. The men on the outside ap-peared to be going toward the head of thetrain.

THE LAST SHOT."Iheard some one walk by the car on the

east side, who appeared to be close to thecar. Ijudged it to be one of tbe robbers,and estimating his position as well as Icould by the sound of nis footsteps, firedthrough the slue of the ear near the floor.There were no more shots from the outsideaftt-r 1 made this last shot from the revolver.The nupension of tiring aud the generalstillness led me to believe that they wereadopting a plan which, 1 had heard, hadbean adopted in other cases, of exploding agiant powder cartridge under the car. Assoon ha this thought struck me 1stood upo imy tiptoes as lar away frutn the center ofthe car as 1 could get Myobject in thiswas to r.-lieve the force of the shock Iwaited what seemed to me about ten min-utes inthat position. Icould hear nothinggome on out-side. The first shot lired in thomelee was fired 3u close to my face as tomake me partially deaf inmy right car

A 1-AJiTY OF FBIKNDS."Then 1 went cautiously to the hind doorand peered out through the opening in tbe

glas.s; saw a party of nb-iit five peoplestanding In the light reflected from the opendoor of tho b*agagi--ear. 1 covered themwith my shotgun and awaited developments.tvlBlack, the baggage-m i.strr, came to thedoor uf the unggage-ear and leaned againstthe jam;1saw his shadow on the ground !iythe light of the lamp above his head. Icalled to him and said. 'Ed Black, have therobbers gone'.1

'The engineer called back,

•ihis is me, tlie engineer, and friends;don t shoot.' Itold him Iwould not shoot,and asked him where th« robbers were* hesaid they went toward the engine, but hedid not know if they were gone. Itold himto go back and eet a posse of passengers andgo forward tn the engine, which he did. ina lew minutes tho train started anil con-tinued to Delano without interruption "

DISHONEST PRACTICES.The Government Robbed . by Federal

Court Officials.

. Washington-, Feb. 10.—Tho sub-com-mittee ofthe House Committee on Judiciary,which spent some time last session investi-gating the charges of illegal practices in theFederal courts in various parts of thecountry, submitted a lengthy report to thefullcommittee to-day. The report tells of ageneral suspension of sentences pronouncedfor violations of the timber-culture laws,principally in the districts of West Virginiaand Northern Georgia, and in thn northernmiddle and southern districts of Alabama

'

thus encouraeingthe methods offee-makin"practices by United States District Attor°ueys, Marshals, etc.The evidence shows, says tho report, that

insome parts of the country men are in-duced by Deputy Marshals and UnitedStates Commissioners to make complaintsagainst each othor for violation of the in-ternal revenue aud timber laws ;they arearrested by the Deputy Marshals andbrought before the commissioners, whereafter a hearing they are bonud over to ap-pear before the court after becoming bailfor each other and annealing before thecourt as defendants, witnesses and bail \large number of witnesses are summoned fcevery case, the Federal officers cDarging forevery petty service, increasing the mileageby unnecessary trips and pocketing the al-lowance intended for witnesses and others.Ihe Uuited states Commissioners, by these

from^ BUIIUIII'nCOUIe rttD«iu«

Commissioner Uallet of Boston, Mass iscriticized for obtaining fees by practicessuch as these. Tlie report says that mostof these prosecutions are frivolous, and ifprosecuted inthe courts would be frownedon. Ihe report reviews, in detail, illegalpractices existing elsewhere than in Bostonand recommends the substitution of salariesfor fees, as the only method of patting anend to the corruption? of the fee system.

Ihe practice prevailing in Boston of al-lowing court clerks and deputies to natural-ize foreigners, charging a fee ranging from81 to S4 for each step of process, Is con-demned instrong terms. The sub-commit-tee recommends legislation for other phasesof the eviland also the dismissal of J. T.Green, United States Circuit Court Com-missioner for the Northern Districtof Ala-bama.

Inreference to Judge. Bruce of the north-ern and middle districts of Alabama, itsay*

that Judge Uruee is too much inclined tosurrender the discretion that belongs to himalone, and to register as the judgment of theCourt an agreement of counsel.
