CHICAGO, Iivr., April 9.—The long-de- {layed trial by which George W. Coudrey sought to collect $50,000 in a aamage suit against Jacob Schweinfurth, the Rockford “Messiah,” began in Judge Dunne’s court ay. Coudrey allegesthat the defendant nated Mrs. Coudrey’s affections from her husband by inducing her to enter his ““Heaven,”” Several witnesses, formerly disciples of the defendant, will testify for the plaintiff. When the case was called Schweinfurth was not present. His attorney was pres- ent, however, who had received letters from the defendant regarding the suit. In them Schweinfurth declared himself pre- pared to resist the “doings of man,” and intimated that he cared nothing for the case. He emphatically added that he was guiltless of wrongdoing.

REPRIEVE FOR LEARY. He Was to Hang on Thursday for a Mon- terey Crime. SACRAMENTO, Cir., April 9.—William Leary’s thread of life will not be snapped on Thursday as Governor Budd hasgranted him a reprieve for the following reasons: “A petition numerously signed by lead- ing citizens of Monterey County has been presented to me for a commutation to imprisonment for life in behalf of the defendant. While I do not now feel justified in aceeding to this request I am satigfied from the statement made to me by the prison officials that the condition of defendant, both physically and mentally, warrants a respite until I can give a more thorough investigation. The official who has him in charge and who sees him daily says that he is slightly childish and partially paralyzed in one limh. The warden informed me that Dr. Mansfieid, the prison physician, corroborates this statement, his extreme age, 76 years, being the cause of his childishness. Under the | circumstances I don’t think justice will | suffer by.a further respite.” ——— DANDY JIM’S PARDON. It Was Given by Arizona’s Governor for Mining Information. PHENIX, Arrz., April 9.—The Republi- can publishes a sensational article to-day relative to the pardoning of “Dandy Jim,” the Apache who led the outbreak -when two cowboys were fired upon near the San Carlos reservation. The article is based npon a letter ad- dressed to J. H. Jensen by S. P, Patterson of Coon Creek, Ariz., in-which it is stated that “Dandy Jim” was pardoned by Gov- ernor Hughes at the instance of parties | who believed he had knowledge of a fabu- !Jously rich mine in the Sierra Anchas Monntains indefinitely described as situ- ated between Superstitious Mountains and | Pleasant Valley. He was pardoned with three other murderers who were his con- federates under a life sentence, but one of them named Massie was held as a hostage t0 compél the falfillment, it is_said, of “Dandy Jim’s” promise to show the loca- tion of the mine. pee VI N Windgor Fruit-Packing. * WINDSOR, CaL.; April 9.—It is now definitely known that the three fruit-pack- ing houses of this township are to be operated this season, and very extensively.

NO COMMITTEE SELECTED. Sir Edward Gray Gives Some Information to the Com- moners. SEALING QUESTIONS DODGED., No Answer to Questions Relating to the Conference Recently Suggested. | { LONDON, Exe., April 9.—Replyingtoa | question in the House of Commons to-day the Parliamentary Secretary to the Foreign Office, Sir Edward Gray, said that the Government was aware that the United St‘es had appointed a committee to in- | quire into the feasibility of the plan for | building & canal across Nicaragua to con- | nect the Atlantic with the Pacific, but { Great Britain would not appoint a com- mittee to co-operate with the United States committee unless the Government of the United States was desirous that Great Britain should doso. Inreplytoa question Sir Edward Gray said that in case the constraction of the canal was proceeded with the Government would take steps to insure that British trade was placed on the same footing as that of other nations. In answer to Sir George Baden-Powell, Sir Edward Gray said that the Government had not received any proposition from the | United States to summon a conference of powers concerned to deal with the seal fisheries of the North Pacific. ? Bir George Baden-Powell also asked whether Great Britain should refuse to join |in such a conference as instructed on the lines suggested by the Paris tribunal of arbitration in 1893, but to the question Gray | made no reply. Answeringa question of | Bir George Baden-Powell as to whethera | petition had not been received from Can- | ada, suggesting that in case of the failure of the United States Congress to appropri- ate the sum agreed upon under the Paris award and in view of the serious financial difficulties to the seal fisheries which have arisen, Great Britain would assume that portion of the award, pending a final | settlement with the United States, Mr. Sidney Buxton, Parliamentary Secretary | to the Colonial Office, said, “I am in no position to answer that question.” A TECHNICAL EVASION. Rather Shrewd Diplomaecy Practiced by English Statesmen. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 9.—It would appear that the answer made by Sir Ed- ward Gray in the House of Commons to- day to the question from Sir George Baden- Powell, that the Government had not re- ceived any proposal from the United States concerned to deal with the seal fisheries of the North Pacific, strongly resembles a | technical evasion of the point. The cor- | respondence with Great Britain relative to Bering Sea is just being published in | anote from Secretary Gresham to Sir Julian | Pauncefote, the British Embassador, in | which Secretary Gresham speaks of the | deep solicitude on the part of the President | with regard to the future of the seal herd, |in view of the excessive number killed | last season. The President had become | convinced that the regulations in force had not operated to prevent the destruction of | the herd, and unless a speedy change was | made extermination must follow. Such a deplorable result should, if possible, be avoided. Therefore the President urged that a commission be appointed on the part of | Great Britain, Russia, Japan and ‘the | United §tates to visit the North Pacifie |and report what measures might be adopted to protect the seals. Meanwhile Secretary Gresham proposed for the con- gideration of the three governments a modus vivendi extending the scope of the present regulations so as to include the entire north Pacific from the coast of the United States to Asia north of the thirtieth degree, during the coming season,and pro- hibiting all sealing in Bering Sea, pending the report of the commission suggested, In conclusion the Secretary of State sug- gested the necessity for speedy action upon this proposition in view of the approach of the sealing season and the departure of the sealing vessels. i As far ascan be learned no answer has yet been received fo this note from Great Britain. % PURSUIT OF THE REBELS, Cuban Insurgents Are Run- ning From Regular Forces. Arrival of the Steamer That Was the Latest Target for the Spanlish. i HAVANA, Cusa, April 9.—Troops con- tinue pursuing the rebels. Lieutenant Hadilla came upon a band of fifty rebels, near San Migtel, Bagaes. Fighting fol- lowed, during which the leader of the rebels, Pancho Varon, was killed, and the second in command, Felipe Alvare, was captured. 1o the neighborhood of Monte Verde, province of Santiago de Cnba, Lieutenant Garrido overtook a number of rebels be- longing to the forces of General Maceo. ‘The rebels were obliged to seek refuge in the mountains, pursued by the troops. Guillermo, an important negro leader of the rebels, died from a sickness nqt defined yesterday at Mucarat, Santiago de Cuba. BOSTON, Mass., April 8,—The steamer Ethelred of the Boston Fruit Company, which was fired upon by a Spanish gun- boat on its outward voyage to Jamaica, { arrived here early to-day. She was im- mediately boarded by a reporter of the Associated Press, who interviewed Captain | Hopkins, her commander, regarding the affair. The captain said: “On April 1 we were proceeding regu- larly, when at about 10 o’clock in the fore- noon, off Cape Maysi, we sighted a vessel, which we could not at first make out. We were about a mile from the shore when suddenly the stranger fired a blank shot dcross our bows. “‘This caused the greatest excitement on board my boat, the passengers on board WHATC being considerably alarmed. Of course, when. the shot was fired I stopped and allowed the vessel to come up within hail- ing distance. Ifound it was a gunboat, but could not recognize the name. “The first part of it was ‘Nueva.” When she saw the British flag floating over my vessel she changed her warlike attitude and quietly steamed us. We then proceeded to Jamaica, where I laid the matter before the proper authorities.” KANBAS CITY, MO., April 9.—A mass- meeting of citizens in sympathy with the Cuban insurgents was held to-night at Turner Hall. - Major William Warner, Judge Wofford, D. S. Twitckell, Major Blakewoodson, the Rey. J. E. Roberts and others addressed the meeting. D.S. Har- riman, agent for Mexican lands, has re- ceived a letter from Marcus Morales, president of the revolution. Morales says that with the sympathy of the Americans their cause can be won. They now have $3,500,000 with which to carry on their fight. He states the insurgents are trying to gain a sufficient portion of the islands to declare a Provisional Goyernment. FLOODS IN HUNGARY. Houses Ruined by the Waters and Hun- dreds Made Homeless. LONDON, Ex6., April 10.—A dispatch to the Daily News from Vienna says that serious floods are prevailing in Hun- gary. In Peeska 340 houses are flooded and many of them have collapsed. In Szerboka 200 houses are flooded and’ 700 people are homeless. The town of Citsa is submerged. Hundreds of villages are threatened with destruction. —_———— SE1ZE A BRITISH STEAMER. A Japanese Warship Intercepts @ Cargo of Cartridges. LONDON, ExG., Apri! 9.—The Times will to-morrow publish a dispatch from its correspondent at Bhanghai, saying that a Japanese man-of-war has seized the British steamer Yik Bang outside Yakuv, having on board 22,000 cartridges shipped at Shanghai by a respectable German firm as “bamboo and steel.” The owners of the Yik Sang, itis added, accepted the ship- ment in good faith. OM'S DEATH LIST, There Were Twenty-Three Men Killed at Blue_ Canyon Mine Explosion. The Bodies Have Been Recovered and Show Little of the Shock Encountered. SEATTLE, Wasg., April 9.—A Whatcom -special -says: The Post-Intelligencer cor- respondent returned at 2 A. . from the scene of the terrible disaster at Blue Can- yon mine, fifteen miles from this city on Lake Whatcom, and is in possession of all the particularsnow obtainable. The two men who escaped are Edward Gellon of Fairhaven, who was. working at the outer switch in the mine, in com- pany with George Roberts and James Kerns. The latter was working with Ben Morgan in room 10, off the gangway, the outermost of all the works in which work was going on. The explosion occurred shortly before 3 o’clock, when the shift would have been changed, and the miners were already climbing the steep hill from the bunk- bouse to take the places of the men who were killed. - The disaster was undoubtedly caused by an accumaulation of firedamp which was exploded by a blast in the breast of the gangwsy. The faces of the men who were working in the breast were badly burned, but a majority of those who were working in the rooms off the gangway were only slightly disfigured by the fire, and many of them not at all. 3 Physicians and miners say that the men working in the breast must have been killed by the shock of the explosion, while the otherssuccumbed to the afterdamp, as they slid down from the rooms to the gangway, then filled with deadly gas. This gangway is reached by a tunnel 780 feet long, and the distance from the inter- section of the gangway to the breast where the explosion took place is about 1000 feet. The main air shaft reached the gangway about 100 feet from the tunnel; and air is supplied by water-power, and which was not affected by the explosion. Kearns, the only miner who escaped from any of the rooms, says that he was not stunned or even thrown down by the shock, though Morgan, who was working with him, was killed. Kearns’ light was not extinguished, and he saw no fire. He slid down the chute to the gangway, losing his light in some way, and managed to make his way in the darkness, in some miraculous manner, along the poisonous pastsage, over dead bodies and piles of coal loosened by the explosion, to the open air, but before he reached the entrance the work of rescue had already commenced. Out in the tunnel he met a party of brave miners groping their way inward as fast as the escape of the poisonous gases permitted. This party and others follow- ing, pushed their way into the mine and carried out one by one the bodies of the dead miners as they came upon them scattered along the gangway. The first body found was that of the mule-driver, lying beside the dead animal, 950 feet from the main entrance. From there to the fall of the gangway, a distance of about 800 feet, bodies were scattered along as they fell from the chutes leading to the T0O! 3 Most of the bodies showed little evidence of the struggle, "and in most instances death apparently came quickly. McAn- drews’ body was found buried under a slide of coal, and McNulty was upoh his hands and knees about twenty yards from wherc he had been working, and bad his nand- kerchief tied over his nose and mouth. ‘When the correspondent leit the mine, shortly before midnight, the work of wash- ing the faces and hands of the dead men had just commenced. ¥ In the blacksmith-shop, near the en- trance to the main tunnel, lie the black- ened bodies of twenty-three dead miners, while only two of all who were in the mine when the explosion occurred lived to tell the story of the frightful catastrophe and their own miraculous escape. Following are the names of the killed : Mine Buperintendent David Y. Jones leayes a widow; Andrew Anderson, widow and one child. James McAndrews leaves a widow. James Kirkley leaves a widow. Kirk Clinske, widow and four children. All the others were single men. Their names are as follows: Charles Silverman, C. Ramsberg, Wil- liam Lyster, Samnel Olsen, James Mec- Nulty, J. A. Morgan, Martin M. Blum, E. T. Chase, Charles Carlson, H. Ravett, whose home is in Fair Haven; Philip Binkle, William Evans, J. Williams, Alex- ander Hendrickson, Ben Morgan, George Roberts, Thomas Conlin, Lucas Lotaka. All that is now possible is being done to alleviate the distress of the families of the deceased. FARMS OF CALIFORNIA Reduced Rates for the Fruit- Growers of the State Assured. DATES FOR DISTRICT FAIRS. The Outlook for Orchard Products! in the East Deemed Favorable. The fruit-growers of this State are to have reduced rates for transportation of their fresh fruit to the East this season, and the relief comes from an unexpected source, a combination apparently between the Southern Pacific Company and P. D. Armour, the wealthy Chicago packer, | whereby anew refrigerator company, called { the “Fruit-growers’ Express,” comes into | the field and offers a reduction on refriger- ation charges of from $35 to $90 per car of 24,000 pounds, from points in California to the Eastern markets. ‘We are indebted to the Sacramento Bee for the following information concerning the new company: It is a well-known fact that, aside from the profit retained by the | refrigerator companies for themselves, and | the extra charge imposed by the Southern Pacific for hauling cars ‘“over the hill,” each refrigerator company pays to the com- mission houses a bonus of from $25 to $40 on each carload of fruit shipped by its line. This, too, is ultimately assessed to the shipper, being included i the schedule of $125 refrigerator charge to Chicago. It is to be remembered, too, that under the old rates all excess over over 24,000 poynds pays the proportionate 100-pound rate, while the new company makes no | charge at all for anything in excess of 24,- 000 pounds in one car. This would result, in some instances, in a still further reduc- tion per pound. Under the Armour re-| frigerator _schedule, therefore, the fruit- grower will be able to save from §35 to $100 t)er car on the cost of getting his fruit to he Easterngnarket. \ Following s the schedule of rates for re- frigerator-car service for deciduous fruit just issued by the Fruit-growers’ Exg::s and in effect from April 1,1895. Itis d on a carload of 24,005 unds, or less, but no extra charge will be made for any ex- | cess weight of fruit which can be got ‘into | the car. Inevery instance the charge is, | on a carload of 24,000 pounds, $35 less than | the existing charge for through refrigerator service to Chicago ifts, $45 less than resent rates to New York points and $60 Fess than such rates to Boston points. A per car further saving of from $15 to can be made gy dispensing with icing until Truckee is reached, and this, it is cigimed, is perfectly feasible for Sacramento and all points on the Central Pacific. ; Group 1 in the following schedule in- cludes the following-named shipping points, which have a common rate: Sacra- mento, Auburn, Penryn, Colfax, New- castle, Loomis, Roseville, - s Group 2 _includes Vacaville, San Jose, Euisun, Napa, San Leandro, Winters, Woodland, Saulsbury, Stockton, Cordelia, Martinez, Concord.

In California the alp e is a sure bearer, and the price is altays in excess of that ruling in the East. Yet we consider apples of minor importance, as there are many fruits which are more profitable. This is partly due, however, to the fact that apples are often planted in hot valleys, near sea level. When wn under these conditions the apple Is soft and does not keep well. Apples should only be grown _in the mountains at eleva- tions of from 2000 fect npward. e There are many other circumstances in addition to those previously noted which aid in giving supremacy o California as a fruit-growing section, among them the fol- 10;:;%: trees here bear when quite young. There are no killing frosts and no great extremes of temperature, and fruit grows onstantly. 3 California fruit is large and presentsa handsome appearance. The rich sedimen- tary soil, plenty of moisture and an even temperatare with a maximum of sunshine develop fruit in @ wonderful way and give ita richness and delicacy of flavor which is never found in fruit grown in a water- soaked soil or under clouded skies. Every crop removes from the soil a por- | tion of the plant food contained therein. Continuous cropping will in time exhaus the richest soil, unless the farmer restores the nutritive elements that have been re- moved. Belgium, not so large in area as some of the counties in California, yet having a pulation of 6,262,000, has 111 beet-sugar actories. The area under beet culture is given by Sugar Cane at 141,000 acres, rfinq the product of beet roots last year at 2.258,- 000 tor The sugar produced was 240.000 tons. Germany has 404 beet-sugar fac- tories. Reports from the various districts con- cerning the effects of the recent frosts upon the fruit crops, vary so widely that it is almost impossible to form an’ estimate of losses sustained. There is no doubt, at least, that the crop as a whole will be be- low the average. ! Dates for holding distriet fairs have been announced as follows: P.C.T. H. B. A. Summer meeting. ..

It is impossible to.tell even ap- proximately how much of last year’s ship- ment of fruit is now unsold in the East. The parties who hold the fruit there refuse to state the amount, though it is not very large, as they continue to order from day to day through their California agents. Trade is quite uniform. The stocks held in the East are going into the retailers’ hands regularly and freely. Prices are not high and there seems to be no buoyancy of feeling among producers and dealers of an increase in prices. The fruit market is one in which the bears have the best of it. There is 140 cars of last year’s fruit re- maining in the valley, the bulk of which is prunes. The amount of fruit remaining in the valley is about the same as that of last year at this time, while in the East the stock on hand is less than that held at this time last year. “I should advise those haying on hand a stock of nlprlmts in good selling condition not to sell at present, but to hold it over until next year. The severe frost that vis- ited this vicinity and Vacaville some weeks ago, together with the frostof April 4, will reduce the crop of apricots one-half that of 1894. Peaches, cherries and pears are slightly injured by the freeze of April 4, while the damage to prunes cannot be estimated, as_the effects of the cold will not be manifested until the middle of June.

Now Is the Time to Take a Remedy for Skin Troubles—The Afflicted Will Find Cause for Re- Joicement. A well-known physician spoke yesterday on the subject of Skin Disease. He said: “Dis- eases of the skin are more liable to develop in the spring of the year than at any other time. The reason is scientifie, yet plain. “During the fall and winter months the sys- tem becomes run down, the blood sluggish or thin snd watery, the stomach is foul, ’:he liver torpid, the kidneys and bowels ifregular. These conditiofis invite or produce skin dis. ease. In all skin diseases you need a constitu- tional treatment.” Nothing else ean reach the skin. If you do not take constitutional tr ment you cannot remove the cause of trouble, and you cannot cure any skin di unless you remove the cause.” Now is the time to take a constitutionzl treatment, and Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla is one of the best constitutional treatments known.
