Hon. E& M. Preston foterviewed on the
Subject.
The Rocklin, Vlacer county, representative met Hon, E. M.
Friday and interyiewed him on the subject of the location of the Masonic Home,
Mr. Preston was then on his way to San
Francisco to’ meet’ with the committee
that decides the location of the home.
The committee has visited a tract of land
offered near Rocklin and is now visiting
other proposed sites in the State. The
following is the interview :
“What are Rocklin’s prospects of securing the Home?” was asked.
“Well,” returned Mr. Preston, ‘I car
When
the location was first spoken of to the
committee, they regarded it with considerable indifferance, but when they had
once visited the place, they were all enthusiastic in its praise. There is some

‘In about a week. We ex ect to hold
a final meeting by that time and come
to some conclusion. We expect to hear
from Mr, Whitney Saturday and receive
his proposition in writing.” «
Mr. Preston assured us that there was
still much reason for us to hope; that a
number of the committee had already
expressed themselves favorably in Rocklin’s behalf.

THE SENATORIAL CONTEST,
A Brief Synopsis of What A. D. Mason
Said.
In yesterday's Traxscripr we published a brief account of the proceedings
of the “Joint Senatorial Convention,
which was keld in Downieville on Monday evening. Fora week past it had
been rumored many times, and as many
times denied, that there would be a candidate brought out against T. L, Kord,
but nothing definite was known about
th'matter until the convention assembled. After the convention was organized, Mr. Lehman of Sierra county
placed Mr, Ford in nomination, and Mr.
Lyons of this city placed A. D. Mason
in nomination. Both gentlemen appeared bh: fore the convention and made
short speeches. Mr. Mason stated that
le desired to make .an explanation to
the convention Why he had become a
candidate, and among other things said
that the county convention of Nevada
county had endorsed Mr. Ford’s candidacy ouly for the reason that there was
no candidate announced—at— that—time.
‘Since then,” said Mason, ‘a number
of hydraulic wniners had prevailed) upon
him to become a candidate, : believing
thaf he could advance their interests
better than Mr. Ford, and he finally
ronsented,”’ He stated that Plumas
county had elected four delegates to the
Congressional Convention and authorized
he same. delegates to reprasent that
vounty in the Joint Senatorial Convention. That these (lelegates were in favor
f his nomination for the Senate. © ‘But
m Saturday. last,” said Mason, “the
Plumas convention met for the purpose
of nominating ecunty officers, and at the
-ame time it saw fit to unseat the delegates heretofore elected, aud who were
in favor of him for Senator, aud elected
tn entirely new set of nen who were—in
favor of Tirey L, Ford's nomination for
he Senate. And again, proxies of all
the delegates from Nevada county except
me were in the hands of parties who
were in favor of his nomination up to
‘riday evening, when for some unknown
reason and without explanation two of
them were revoked. So it seem; that
ip to.Friday evening last the nomination of Mr, Mason for Joint Senator was
issured by the following votes: Four

votes, five trom Sierra and only one from

tion with the expectation of receiving
the nomination, only for the purpose of
vindicating himself, asle knew that as
soon as the ballot was taken it would
show that Mr, Ford had twelve votes
and he had only six, He stated that a
aumber of charges had made
against bim which were all false. And
further, he said, that it was -generally

United States Senator—a man whe had
always been an uncompromising enemy
of the mining interest, and for that reason also he had been urged to become a
candidate against Mr. Ford. The above is

THE. BORDEN CASE.
Important Witnesses Who Will Assist Lizzie’s
Defense.
Taunton, Mass , Sept. 6.—Mre. Marshall and her daughter will be most importans witnesses for the defense if Lizzie Borden is ever brought to trial for the
murder of her parents. Mis. Marshall
says that on the morning of the tragedy
she and her daughter drove down Third
street shortly after 11 o’clock and saw a
villainous;looking man jump over Borden’s back “fence, hurry through Dr.
Chagnon’s yard, jump into. a buggy that
was in waiting and drive away. Of
course they’ paid no attention to it at the
time, but half au hour later they drove
through Second street and saw a crowd in
front of the house and heard that murder
had been cc mmitted. Before any suspicion
had rested on Lizzie Borden Mrs. Marshall had told friends about the man she
had seen jump over Borden's back fence.
Mrs. Marshall is a woman of unques,
tioned veracity, and her daughter's word
will have equal weight. She was asked
why she had not_appeared at the prelim.
inary hearing in the case, and her deep
mourning, together with the statement
that she had just buried her husband, wa
sufficient explanation of her ignorance ol
the course events had taken.
She did not’ know how important hey
testimony would have been at the hearing
Che police at Fall River were informed of
the nature of Mrs. Marshall's evidence a
tew days ago, but they apparently ignored
the clew which she gave them and inti.
mated that it was from an unreliable
source. Mrs. Marshall will, however,
be able to sustain her reputation for truth
if it is required, ‘his is the most important clew outside the Borden house
th .t has yet beea found.

and Young, ! :
Presipent Harrison is an exact
reasoner and an explicit writer. His expressions are short but strong and full of
meaning. During the last campaign his
explanation of the mental attitude of the
Democrats when he said that they
studied maxims, not muskets, took the
country by its brevity of language and
amplitude of thought. He now gives
another example of condensed argument
in his letter of acceptance when he says
the Republicans “did not adopt a schedule, but a principle.” “Nothing but
strong interest and clear understanding
of a subject enables writers to put their
ideas in a manner so terse and striking,
and nobody has ever excelled the President in the difficult task in saying much
in a few words.

Catching Boas. .
“To catch a boa constrictor is a dift.
cult and dangerous task,” says a man
who makes it his business to capture
wild animals and reptiles for menagerie
purypses. ‘It is accomplished by a labyrinthian tangle, embracing sixty square
feet of ground. The labyrinth is made
by joining together, end on end,’ pieces
of matting. This web is eight feet high
usually, and placed so that the opposing
walls will be two feet apart. All sorts
of crisscross and diverging combinations
are made with the matting—it is supported here and there by stakes—making,
when it is set, a geometrical puzzle that
might well challenge the ingenuity of
man,
“The trap is baitede with a live pig,
which is placed in a pen in the corner of
the labyrinth. By and by along comes
the boa constrictor. It-is easy enough
to get in. He scents the prey; he is
very hungry; the >‘: is devoured, and
here the boa comes iv grief. For hours
he tries tO release himself, but finally
he grows tired and stretches himself out
foranap. Then is our time, We open
the labyrinth and catch him.”—Golden
Days.
Where Vessels Capsize Frequently.
The capsizing-of a vessel tied up to a
pier is common. enough in the Bay of
Fund¥ and its tributary streams. The
usual rise and fall of the tide along that
bay is from forty.to fifty feet, and high
tides sometimes exceed sixty feet. ‘With
the fall of the tide all craft are lett
high, but by no means dry, with an area
of chocolate colored mud all about them.
This mud is too shifting to hold a vessel in safety, 80 each pier is provided
with-one or more strong: wood frames
called shoes, fixed at the bottom of the
stream or bay. ;

Cats Among the Kgyptianse.
— The tutelar deity of cats was Diana,
and according. to Plutarch the cat was
not only sacred to the moon, but was an
emblem of it. [Hence cats were treated
with peculiar consideration in the land
of fhe Pharaohs, the death of one being
regarded as a great family misfortune.
Kyyptian cat funerals were celebrated
with the greatest pomp and ceremony,
their late owners showing respect ly
shaving off their eyebrows and wearing
sackcloth for nine days. In the time uf
Moses it was a capital crime to kill a
cat, and we are told by Diodorus how a
Roman soldier who killed one was tried,
sentenced and finally put to death.—St,
Louis Republic.
Foot Notes,
Never wear a nice pair of shoes when
you trust needs wear rubbers, It spoils
them more quickly than anything elso,
Have an old pair to wear under rubbers,
and thus save your good shoes and enjoy
the comfort the older ones give. When
soles are worn thin use insoles—they
will save both shoes and stockings,
These are cnt from sole leather, When
suffering ‘from corns cut out the place
over them fromm an old shoe and cover
with a neat patch. {t is a sure cure.—
