Dandried, without notifying the physician in charge, cut the retaining bands with a pair of scissors. Internal hemorrhage ensued and the woman died. FIRE AT BENICIA. Destruction of an Immense Warchouse Stored With Wheat. WENICIA, €ax., April 12.—The immense warehouse and office ot Balfour, Guthrie & Ci together with the contents, was en- irely destroyed by fire thisforenoon. The blaze was discovered shortly after 10 o'clock and the entire Fire Department was called out. There were no hydrants on the wharf, and before it was possible to get a stream of water on the flames they had made such headway that nothing could be dome by the firemen except to prevent the flames from destroying the wharf. The amount of property destroyed will amount to more than $110,000, as there was stored in the warehouse 3500 tons of wheat belonging to the Fair estate. The warehouse was. 400 feet long, and a substantial building, having all the im- provements for handling grain, with rail- road tracks on both sides. The watch- an, Mr. Pinkham, tells this story: “1 had left the office about twenty minutes to attend to the warehouse, when my attention was called by some one | shot z to me that the offiee was on fire. “T hastened back as fastas I could and | found that the fire was breaking out of the windows. Tam unable to account for the origin of the blaze, but hardly think it was the work of incendiaries.” The watchman was badly burned about the face and hands in trying to extinguish the fire.

FRESNO, CAL., April 12.—Several jurors 1n the Sanders forgery case complained to- day of feeling ill, and asked thau the at- torneys bring the trial to a conclusion as soon as possible. The county has been at a very heavy ex- pense in the investigation of the Wootton case, and it was manifestly impossible to cut short the testimony on either side with- out prejudice to the interest of justice on both sides. Judge Webb rescinded the order committing the jury to the custody of the Sheriff, and permitted the jurors to zo home each evening, with a caution not to talk about the case or read the news- apers, ! he testimony to-day bore almost ex- clusively on the book from which the forged draft is presumed to have been torn, and the evidence of grand jurors and others was submitted to show that when they examined it there were forty-nine untorn leaves and one stub.

LOS ANGELES, Carn., April 12.—The announcement that the Southern Pacific had withdrawn from sale tickets for St. Paul and Minnesota points via El Paso, Fort Worth and Kansas City and also by the northern route via Ogden and Kansas City, turns out to be only partially correct. The southern gateway to extreme northern points is still open, but no more tickets are being offered via Ogden and Kansas City. While the Southern Pacific Company offers no official reason for the action taken it is supposed to be simply on the score of economy. ————— Congregationalists at Kenwood.

FRESHD BANK- FAILURE Culmination of a Struggle Which Began With the Panic of 1893. Deposltors In the Suspended Loan ‘and Savings Bank to Be Paid In Full. FRESNO, Car., April 12.—The Fresno Toan and Savings Bank suspended business this morning. A notice on the door says: Depositors will be paid in full, but our in- ability to realize on securities makes it impos- sible to meet demands. From Vice-President E. F. Bernard, who became connected with the management in August, 1894, it is learned that the fail- ure is aue to accumulating interest on real estate mortgages and the inability to make other collections due. The struggle began 1 the panic of 1893, and they were forced to close their doors in June, 1894, for a day or =0, but continued business. There is due aepositors $412,478, about equally divided between the commercial and sayings depositors. Their total assets amount to $710,000, which includes notes and mortgages secured by real estate to the amount of $454,710. The bank premises and other real estate is valued at $175,000, and the amount of actual cash is $81,000. Allowing $100,000 for shrinkage in value of real estate and worthless securities they still have assets amounting to $200,000 more than liabilities. The other banks have offered to take the commercial business off the Loan and Savings Baok’s hands, dividing equally between three banks—First National, Fresno National and Farmers’. There is no probability of a run on any of the Fresno banks on account of the suspen- sion of the Loan and Savings Bank. PFeo- ple are not excited over it, and the assur- ance of the bank officials that depositors will be paid in full is generally believed, and there is better feeling than might have been expected. The other banks are well prepared to stand a run, if one should come, and they are fesling no uneasiness. In fact the bankers of Fresno held a meeting to-day to consider the advisability of assuming liability for $200,000 of the debts due by the closed bank. Watsonville Wants the Grand Parlor. WATSONVILLE, Carn., April 12.—At the session of the Grand Parlor of Native Sons, to be held in Oaklsad this month, an active fight will be made to secure the Native Sons are enthusiastic on the sub- ject, and, in case the prize is secured, will have the unanimous backing of all citizens in entertaining the Grand Parlor in this city. SAN JOAQUIN' ROUTE. Course of the People’s Road After Leaving Stockton. THE LINE MAPPED OUT. It W1ll Strike Stanislaus River Southeast of Burnett Station. WOMEN ARE RAISING FUNDS. Valuable Assistance Glven the Project by the Fair Sex of Stockton. STOCKTON, CAL., April 12.—Plans were received here to-day from San Francisco showing the route of the valley road from Stockton through San Joaquin County to the Stanislaus River. This is the first authentic information received by the sur- veying party here, and the route mapped out is not that printed before. The line, according to the instructions received to-day, runs parallel with the Mariposa road southeasterly for severai miles until it strikes an angle in that road where it crosses a large tract belonging to Rosenbaum & Crawford of this city. Here it deflects a trifle and runs in a straight line to the southeastern corner of the county, where Jacob Meyer has a large ranch. The road passes through some very valu- able farming land, but the owners of all the large tracts are in thorough sympathy with the project, and some have already made generous subscriptions, so there is no doubt that the rights of way to the Btanislaus River can be easily obtained. Among those through whose land the road will pass are: G. 8. Ladd, S. A. French, Rosenbaum & Crawford, F. G. Galgiani, Mrs. A. Muenter, J. K. Doak, Andrew Woif, J. V. Mondon, A. McNeilly, 8. Vanner, A. Chidester, G. S. Hall, H. L. Poyner, James Leighton, J. W. Gann, Mrs. P. B. Ewing, L. Bassillio, J. L.Payner, N. B. Sperry, E. C. Smith, John Morey, Mrs. I. Brennan, Hannah Brennan, the estate of J. W. Jones, James W. Jones, Alice D. Jones, D. L. Jones, N. 8. Haroid, L. L. Huntley, Stockton Savings and Loan So- ciety and Jacob Meyer. This will cut sev- eral large tracts in twain, among them those of J. K. Doak, Andrew Wolf, A. Chi- dester and H. J. Chalmers. These men, however, have come forward with grants of the right of way. The line of the road will run past the schoolhouse - in section 14, township 2 south, range east. It strikes the Stanis- laus River, according to the new map, five or six miles southeast of Burnett, a station on ‘the line of the Oakdale branch of the Southern Pacific road, between Stockton and Merced. This would indicate that the road will not run to Modesto, which was intimated by Engineer Storey when here. He stated then that it might not go to that point, but to some place midway be- tween Modesto and Oakdale. It is possible that this route may be changed, 1f any engineering difficulties are found in the way, which is hardly thought probable. The surveyors have about finished their work inside the city limits, but still make their headquarters here. A week from to- morrow there will be a monster picnic at Goodwater Grove, just outside of Stockton, which will be given by the ladies’ commit- tee of the Stockton Commercial Associa- tion to help the fund they are raising for the road. The Stockton Athletic Club has taken hold of the project, and will hold its field day exercises in conjunction with the picnic, so the affair will probably net con- siderable money, and Stockton will take a half holiday on that afternoon. To-morrow all the schoolgirls in the city will go out among the homes to solicit subscriptions for the fund being raised by the ladies. The committee appointed by the Com- mercial Association to make a comparison between the city assessment and the sub- scription list to the valley road has the names of 160 persons assessed at over $10,000 each who have not yet contributed anything to the fund. They ‘will be waited upon and asked to give their proportion of the amount to be raised, which has now very nearly reached the required sum. Companies A and B, Sixth Regiment, N. G: C., will hold a military carnival next Monday night, the proceeds of which will go to swell the fund of the new road. Liv- ing pictures, representing war scenes, will be shown. Stockton has never been so thoroughly enthusiastic over anything in all its his- tory. FRESNO’S PROFFERED AID. Ready to Meet Any Demands in the ZInterests of the People’s Road. FRESNO, Cax., April 12—The Chamber next Grand Parlor for this city. The local | s Woods, arrived here this morn- ing. The party, after staying a few days at the springs, will journey on to San Francisco and thence to San Diego. They express more than ordinary surprise and delight at the beautiful surroundings here and anticipate a pleasant sojourn. Lol el WANTED IN SAN FREANCISCO. Rarrants forthe Arvest of the Five China- men Detained at Sacramento. SACRAMENTO, CaL., April 12.—A tele- gram was received to-day by the police au- thorities of this city from Chief Crowley of San Francisco stating that he had dis- patehed Officers Gleiman and Farrell with warrants for the arrest, on a charge of felony and embezzlement, of' the five Chinamen who were captured on the Ore- gon train last evening by Policemen Baltz and Douglas of the local force. They will be returned to San Francisco. It appears that these Chinamen, in com- pany with four others, were the directors of a Chinese beneficial fund, organized and subscribed to by the Mongol sewing ma- chine operators of San Francisco, and it is claimed that the board of directors unanimously agreed to divide the funds of the organization and depart for pastures new. Five of them decidéd to go to Oregon, and were captured en route by the Sacramento police. The others left in the direction of Los Angeles, and are still at large. CAUGHT AT SACRAMENTO, Bandit Brady’s Double Found to Be an Inoffensive Swede. Nevada County Detectlves Pursue a Man Thought to Be Bogard’s Slayer. SACRAMENTO, CaL., April 12'—On the arrival of the freight train known in rail- road men parlance as No. 6, which reaches this city at 2 o’clock A. M., a large force of detectives, police and yardmen were on band. They immediately surrounded the train and instituted a search for the sup- posed murderer of Sheriff Bogard, they having been notified by telegraph that he had boarded the train at Colfax and was afterward seen in Rocklin. As the long line of freightcars came to a standstill the engineer, having been sig- naled to stop a few blocks from the depot, the assembled forces closed in on all sides, and Policeman Douglas, discovering a man seated on the bumpers between the two head cars, made a’ rush for him. The man at once sprang to the ground on the opposite side of the train, at the same time making a motion as though to draw a weapon. The officer compelled the man to throw up his hands. By this time Detective Ahern arrived at the side of the supposed desperado, and while Policeman Douglas kept him cov- ered with ‘his revolver Ahern searched him, the rest of the force witlk drawn revolvers standing guard. They were chagrined to find that their captive was an inoffensive Swede, who aid not possess an extensive command of the Anglo-Saxon tongue and was nearly frightened to death. In general appear- ance he bore a resemblance to Brady, but his meek demeanor would have touched even that notorious outlaw with pity. ‘Word was received to-day from the de- tectives in Nevada County that the man they were after had been seen in the neigh- borhood of Columbian Hill, and that they were close upon his track. They claim that they will capture him without doubt. They are not positive that he will prove to be Brady, but say that several who have encountered the fugitive recognize him as the man wanted, by aid of the photos in the possession of the pursuing force. He is traveling on foot and through a country which is almost impassable. STATE FAIR PREMIUMS. Awards to Be Offered for the Best Ex- hibits of Dairy Products. SACRAMENTO, Car., April 12. — There was a meeting of the State Board of Agri- culture here to-day for the purpose of revising the premium-list for the next State Fair. Owing to the importance of the butter-making interest it was decided to offer premiums for cows producing the greatest amount of butter fat, the contest to continue seven days. Theawards will be: Five-year-olds and over—First premium $60, second $20. Four-year-olds and over—First $50, second $25. Three-year-olds and over—First $40, sec- ond $20. Two-year-0lds and over—First $30, second $15. Eighty per cent of pure butter fat shall be the basis for determining the yield of marketable butter. Special efforts will be made to arrange for a general exhibition of electrical mo- tors, in view of the approaching utiliza- t®n of the American River water-power for transmitting vast electric power into this city.. Eastern manufacturers will be asked to send their latest motors for this exhibition. B. M. Lelong, secretary of the State Board of Horticulture, was appointed superintendent of the horticultural depart- ment. of Commerce has sent the following mes- sage to the directors of the new road: The executive committee of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce, having already ex- pressed its full sympathy with the movement to secure another railroad through this valley, now begs leave to renew its previous assur- anceand to ask if it is in contemplation on your part to send a committee to this city to confer with the citizens of Fresno with respect to your plans and expectations so far as we are concerned. We have remained inactive until now, not from lack of interest. butin the hope that you would, in due course of time, indicate to us your wishes. The people here are alive to the importance of securing the San Joaquin Valley Railroad and its machine-shops for this city, and are anxious to learn what you expect of them. EXTENDED TO SANTA CRUZ. Claus Spreckels’ Intimation Regarding the Valley Road’s Route. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., April 12.—Claus Spreckels, who was at his country resi- dence at Aptos this week, said that he intended to lengthen the wharf at Aptos so that his ships could load there, as he contemplated making shipments from there instead of Moss Landing, as at pres- ent.

Grant Jr., accompanied by his wife and THROWN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT. An Entire Division Force of the South- ern Pacific to Be Rendered Igle. SACRAMENTO, CAv., April 12.—There is a sweeping retrenchment to be made on the part of the Southern Pacific Company on the first of the coming month, that will throw an entire division force out of em- ployment, add seventy miles more of the road to the Sacramento division, and place the added care of this amount of track to the already arduous duties of Superin- tendent J. B. Wright. The company has decided to combine the Truckee division with the Sacramento hill division and place this combination under charge of the present superintend- ent of the latter division. This will neces- sitate an addition to the present force of clerks in the Sacramento office, but the removal of the headquarters of the Truckee division from Wadsworth and the removal of one superintendent will result in con- siderable saving to the company. Super- inténdent Agler, who has been in charge of the Truckee division, will assume com- mand over the Ogden division, and will remove to that city. P —_— To Construct a New Plant.

DESPONDENCY THECAUSE He Felt Too Keenly His Re- moval From an Honored Position. FRIENDS ARE GRIEF-STRICKEN. The Deceased Had Endeared Him=- self to Many by His Generous Disposition. TACOMA, Wasn., April 12.—Disheart- ened by financial difficulties and his re- moval from an honored position, Paul Schulze, general land agent of the North- ern Pacific Railroad, killed himself this morning at 11:30 o’clock by sending a 38- caliber bullet through his head. The body was not found until 3:45 p. M., and it was nearly 5 before the Coroner was notified. The news became public after 6 o'clock and greatly surprised the entire city. Mr. Schulze was one of the best known men in the Northwest. A German by birth, he entered the Northern Pacific ser- vice under Henry Villard, and nearly ten years ago was made general land agent at the west end of the road. During the last year or so his policy had not been approved by the Northern Pa- cific management, and frequently it has been rumored that he would be removed. Last Wednesday he announced that he had resigned at the request of Land Com- missioner Phipps. He did not seem to feel badly about the matter then, but it is certain that he felt keenly that the re- moval showed a lack of appreciation of his services. Schulze was president of the Yakima Investment Company, owner of the Great Sunnyside canal in Yakima County, with assets of over $2,000,000, and president of the Tacoma Railway and Motor Com- pany, owner of two-thirds of the street railway system here. Both companies are in receivers’ hands, and he was one of the receivers of the former company. The financial difficulties of that company had caused him much trouble. Schulze spent but part of Thursday at his office, though his resignation was not to take effect until Monday. He went home at 8 o'clock and ate dinner. After dinner he ordered a fire built in the kitchen, and the servants, who were in and out of the room, say thathe burned several bundles of private papers, including letters. At 9 o'clock he sent for Dr. Yocom, his physician, and complained of a pain in his chest. The doctor was there over an hour, and about 10:30 Mr. Schulze retired. At 8 o’clock this morning Henry, his Japanese servant, took upa light break- fast. He told his master that he was going to market and asked if he wanted anything purchased. Mr. Schulze re- plied in the negative. At 11:30 the ser- vants heard a noise in the direction of Mr. Schulze’s room, but paid little attention to it atthe time. At 2 o’clock the man Henry returned, and as somebody had telephoned for Mr. Schulze he went to his door and knocked. There wasno response, and Henry decided not to disturb him. He tried the door, but it was locked. A little before 4 o'clock Alfred Anderson, Mr. Schulze’s private secretary, telephoned to the house and directed the servant to arouse Schulze. The door was still locked and finally the servant broke it open. He found his master lying stiff iu death, with a bullet through his head. The ball had entered the right temple and stopped just inside the skin on the opposite side. Dr. Yocom was called. He made an ex- amination and notified the Coroner and friends. There will be no inquest. A number of warm personal friends and Northern Pacific officials gathered at the house and learned the detail§ of the sad story, some of them choking with sobs.
