SACRAMENTO, Carn, April Grand Jury v beg i of the charges m 3 Trustees, to the effect that they h offered bribes to awa was based upon statements published in the Sunday News of -, and whick are admitted by tees Devine, Davis and Kent. The officials refused to divulge the names of the party who attempted to bribe them, upon the ground that, as the ition relied upon was made to each dually, without other witnesses, it would be idle to say anything. It was nearly a quarter of a century ago when the Holly Pump Company sold a pump, with a capacity of daily, to the city, for $57,000. The com- pany’s bid for a 5,000,000-gallon pump this year is only $12,500, and it is claimed that considerable sums were divided among certain parties at the time the former con- tract was awarded. The Grand Jury has been looking into all these matt able informatio: on which to course, not know out whether it is enoy THEY FAVORED FITZGERALD. Trades Unions of San Francisco Had In- dorsed His Appointment. SACRAMENTO, Can., April 15.—In a Tecent issue of a labor paper published in Ban Francisco there was an editorial in | which the following words occur: Governor Buddis entirely mistaken or will- fully prevaricates when he states that the pro- prietors of the Voice of Labor indorsed or asked for the appointment of Mr. Fitzgerald as Labor Commissioner. The Governor’s private secretary, in speaking of this editorial, produced from the files the following letter, which he says is decidedly inconsistent with the state- ments made in the editorial referred to. The letter is dated SBan Francisco, February 7, and is signed by M. M. McGlynn, who is editor of the paper, as well as President of the Labor Council of Federated Trades. The letter reads: To the best of my knowledge, the selection of Mr. Fitzgerald as Labor Commissioner will meet with no objections from the trades union~ ists of this city. Personally, I am in hopes his appointment will mark = new era in the ad- ministration of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. REPEAL OF COU. TxiflAME LAWS. All Those in Conflict With the State Law Ave Declared Void. SACRAMENTO, CaL., Aprii 15.—In re- sponse toan inquiry received from the Fish and Game Commission of the State an opinion has been sent out from the At- torney - General’s office on the effect and scope of the general fish and game law passed by the last Legislature. This opinion is to the effect that all county ordinances relating to fish and game that have heretofore been passed by the Boards of Supervisors which con- flict with that law are repealed hereby, and that Boards of Supervisors have no power to pass ordinances in conflict therewith. In conversation with Game Commis- sioner Morrison on the subject he stated that, in his opinion, this would, to a great extent, do away with the variance of the close season in the different counties. “Why,” continued the commissioner, “under the provisions of the old count; government law, and that which relas to fish and game, one was almost com- pelled to procure the services of anexpert surveyor whenever he went on a day’s hunt, so that when game was sighted a line could be run in order to ascertain what county he was shooting in.” As an illustration the experience of As- d by the ladies of Stockton, netted | Investigation of | 000,000 gallons | and has secured consider- | b se an indictment is,"of | semblyman Bassford was given. This gentleman, who, is one of the most en- thusiastic sportsmen in the State and is the father of the present game law, shot a deer while in the woods. Mr. Bassford was arrested and compelled to pay a fine of $50, as the stream over which he shot happened to be the bound- ary line of a county that Pos- sessed an ordinance prolonging the close season for six weeks, “As regards the present law,’’ resumed Commissioner Morrison, ‘T deem it so full in all its provisors that I believe it will be adopted by all the Boards of Supervjsors of the various counties without cavil, and that the close season will become universal throughout the State.” WEATHER AND CROP BULLETIN. Weekly Report of Director Barwick of the State Weather Bureau. SACRAMENTO, CaL., April 15.—Di- rector Barwick of the State Weather Ser- vice, in his crop and weather summary for the week, says: The average temperature for the week ending Monday, April 15, was as follows: Eureka, 50 deg.; Fresno, 56; Independ- ence, 56; Los Angeles, 58; Red Bluff, Sacramento, San Francieco and San Diego, 54 deg. Tespectively, and San Luis Obispo, 56. As compared with the normal temperatures a deficiency of heatis reported at Fresno of 5 degrees; Los An- geles, 2; Red Bluff, 6; Sacramento, 5; San Francisco, 2; San Diego, 5, while Eureka reports the temperature conditions as normal. The total precipitation for the week was:< At Eureka, 1.10 inches; Fresno, Los An- geles, San Francisco, San Luis Obispo and San Diego each. 10 of an inch; Sacramento, .14 of an inch, and Independence a trace. As compard with the normal precipita- tion, there is a deficiency reported at all points except Eureka, where an excess of | .22 of aninch has occurred. The weekly. deficiency is: For Fresno .24 of an inch, Los Angele , Red Bluff .39, Bacramento San Francisco .42 and San Diego .11 of an inch. The deficiency in temperature over the great agricultural, horticultural and viti- | cultural districts of the State has had a retarding effect upon the growth of crops and the ripening of early fruits and berries. The deficiency in the rain- fall has been felt over the greater | portions of the State. Without coplons and frequent showers in April and May the grain and hay crops will receive somewha- of a setback. However, the cool weather, in conjunction with the lack of rain, pre- vents any injurious effects from being not | | ticed so early in the season, especially after the fine rains we have had duringthe | past winter months, The frosts of April have injured the | | fruit crop in _the lower end of the San | {Joaguin Valley, as well as in the Santa | | Clara Valley, the upper end of the So- noma Valley and in the Anderson Valley fruit belt of Mendocino County. | Commissioners of Deeds Removed. | SACRAMENTO, Car., April 15.—Gov- | | ernor Budd received word from Governor Btone of Missouri to-day that all Commis- sioners of Deeds for that State residing in California had been removed, and that | others would be appointed immediately to | fill the vacancies. i | | Rl e RACES AT LOS ANGELES. } | Four Good Events Witnessed by Visitors to the Fiesta.

Scores of Péople Found to Have Contributed Their Gold to His Coffers. SAN DIEGO, CaL., April 15.—Great con- sternation has been caused in certain circles over the continued absence of the trance medium, Peter West. All sorts of rumors have been flying since Saturday, when he failed to appear from Escondido, where he went to spend two days. Among the reports circulated was one that a lady, widowed against her will, had paid the medium $500 in jewelry and cash to seek out her recreant husband and the $30,000 he took with him. Investigation showed that scores of peo- ple, mostly women had been voluntary patrons of the medium. A constant stream of visitors called at his apartments, and at the close of the day the seer would call in a man living in the house to assist him in counting his money. West's income for the first three days he opened up business here was $300, and he received steadily from 260 to $75 per day. President Rogers of the spiritual so- ciety read a letter from West at Sunday night’s meeting, in which the seer said that he must go to Denver to rescue the young man Harry Waite, who was in trouble, and asked for the prayers of the brethren and sisters in his mission, stating that he would be back very soon. The members of the society firmly believe that their hero will return. gatsSrse e Gy Two San Diego Suicides. SAN DIEGO, CAL., April. 15. —Two sui- cides occurred this morning.

FORECLOSURE SUIT BEGUN, An Action in Which San Jose Insurance Agents Are Made Parties. SAN JOSE, Can., April 15.—Mary C. and Robert Green have commenced a suit against Emma L. and F. C. Dubois for the forelosure of a mortgage of $910, with in- terest at 8 per cent. Wooster & Whitton, agents of the North British and Mercantile Insurance Company, are made parties to the snit, in that it is held that $1550 insur- ance about to be paid the defendants was secured to guarantee the payment of the mortgage. Francis Myers loaned the defendants $200 with interest at 8 per cent on May 1, 1892, and at different times the loan was increased to $910. At the death of Myers in 1894 Mary C. Robert inherited the mort- gage in question and later became the wife of Nathaniel Green. It was the under- standing when the mortgage, which coy- ered a house and lot in Bradlee’s addition, was executed, that the defendants were to | keep the house insured in a sum sufficient |to cover the mortgage at their own expense. The house was destroyed by fire last | week and the plaintiff wants an injunction to stop the payment of the insurance money, as not more than $300 could be re- alized from the sale f the lot, YOUNG COROOKS IN TROUBLE. Warrants for Their Arrest Forwarded to San Francisco. SAN JOSE, CarL., April 15.—George P.

The men also rented bicycles at a local agency, and after returning one of the wheels left the other as security for a bill of drinks. The two men succeeded in doing the town up to the extent of about $100 and left for unknown parts Friday morning.

A war- rant has been forwarded to San Francisco, and they will be arrested and brought back to be tried here. HELD FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER. Joseph Dubols Must Answer for the Shoot- ing of James Pierce. SAN JOSE, Can., April 15.—Joseph Dubois, who is charged with attempting to murder James Pierce, had his examination before Justice Dwyer to-day, and was held to answer in the Superior Court, with bonds fixed at $1000. Dubois occupied an old cabin on the Greenwalt ranch, near Alameda, and had torn down some fence around the ranch.

A San vose Woodewtter Thought to Have Commiitted Suicide With Dynamite. S8AN JOSE, Car., April 15.—Antonio Giaumattie, a woodchopper employed on the Klinkerfauche ranch on Stevens Creek, has mysteriously disappeared.

Conrad, a Well- Enown San Jose Citizen. SAN JOSE, CAx., April 15.—Last even- ing John F. Conrad, an old and well-known resident of this city, died very suddenly of heart disease at his residence, on the cor- ner of Delmas and San Carlos'streets. The deceased visited with the family of Paul Haagen, his son-in-law, who resides at Tenth and Washington streets, yester- day afternoon, and seemed in the best of spirits. He was accompanied by a friend named Clausen, who returned home with him. Clausen happened to be passing Conrad’s residence last evening about 7 o'clock and knocked at the door. TLere was a faint response from Conrad that he ;vns sick and could not get up to open the loor. Soon after the police were notified and the patrol wagon was dispatched to the scene. Conrad must have died soon after Clausen left his residence, for when Officers Humburg and Anderson knocked on the door at 8 o’clock there was no response. The door was broken open and Conrad was found dead in bed. Sentenced for Petty Larceny. SAN JOSE, CaL., April 15. —William Noon, who was arrested yesterday for rob- bing the residence of Mrs. E.

BOISE, Inamo, April 15.—Deputy United States Marshal John Hunter retarned to- day from the Bound, havingin custody one of the Chinese regently arrested there for trying to gain admission on frandulent cer- tificates that they were merchants. This Chinese is the only one of the lot who was ever in Boise, though their certificates represented them all as Boise merchants, It is thought the prisoner may have taken certificates to the Chinese, but the princi- pal expectation of the officers is that he can be induced to tell who manipulated the fraud. The whole matter has been turned over to the Federal Grand Jury, which is now investigating. The stories told by differ- ent ones concerned are very conflicting, and if some are found to be true others must be branded as false by the same proof. It is difficult to see how all can es- cape trouble with the Government. Investigating at Victoria. VICTORIA, B. C., April 15.—There are two secret agents of the United States Treasury Department here working up this end of the Chinese certificate frauds re- cently unearthed in San Francisco. Those in a position to know say that the crooked operations of the gang are confined to San Francisco, and that the representatives here were Chinese firms. The names of the officers/ are not known. —_— - INVESTIGATING CUSTOM OUFFICERS It Is Cluimed They Did Not Report On All the Opium That Was Seized. FRESNO, CaL..

FRELI The Reedley Forgery Case, FRESNO, CAL., April 15.—The Sanders® forgery trial proceeded slowly to-day, the defense opening its testimony with expert evidence to show that the disputed signature on the draft is the genuine signature of Wil- liam Wooton. A witness named G. H. Chambers swore to meeting Wooton in San Francisco nine days after his disap- pearance. There is a rumor that Sanders will take the stand on his own behalf, but it cannot yet be said positively that ne will do so. The case will probably go to the jury on Thursday. b Entertained by Fresno Citizens. FRESNO, Car., April 15.—One hundred and thirty delegates to the international convention of car accountants arrived here to-day, and were taken by special train, provided by the Chamber of Commerce and the Hundred Thousand Club, over the Pollasky branch line.

Enthusiasm and Eloquence Were With Difficulty Held in Restraint. A RECEPTION TO STATESMEN. Handshakings That Lasted Two Hours and Were Finally Crowded Into a Narrow Limit. DENVER, Coro., April 15.—An immense throng to-night congregated at the Brown Palace Hotel to greet the two champions of silver, ex-Congressman J. C. Sibley and General A. J. Warner, and to extend to them a hearty welcome to the State. The rotunda of the hotel had peen profusely decorated with flags and plants, while over the entrance, where the guests of the evening were standing. had been draped with two large American flags joined at the top by a large shield made in imitation of the silver dollar. Each gallery of the seven floors was crowded, while the floor of the rotunda was packed by eager people of both sexes, all anxious to do homage to the scarred veterans of the silver cause. At 8:15 p. M. the First Regiment band of the Colorado National Guard announced the approach of the guests. Their appear- ance was greeted by a burst of applause. Governor McIntyre introduced the two gentlemen whose coming had caused such an outpouring. Ex-Congressman Sibley was the first to respond to the introduction and while, as he said, it was not an occa- sion for speech-making, still he could not refrain from saying a few words in regard to silver. He stopped himself, however, before he had fairly entered into the sub- ject, and invited all his hearers to attend the great meeting to be held to-morrow. General Warner followed, and in a few words thanked the audience for the recep- tion and the enthusiasm displayed. Both speakers seemed so full of their subject that it was with difficulty that they re- frained from making lengthy addresses. After the introduction a line was formed and the crowd filed by the two gentlemen to shake their hands. There was such a jam that a single line could not be main- tained and the people blocked up three and four deep. As Mr. Sibley remarked, “Everything that Colorado does she does with a rush.” For over two hours the handshaking was continued, and when the exhausted statesmen retired every one who had the patience to wait had the pleasure of pressing the hand and receiving a pleas- ant word from two of the foremost states- men in the country. THE BULL THAT FAILED. A Grizzly Bear Who Did Not Come to Time in Mewxico. LAREDO, Tex., April 15.—The fight be- tween the California grizzly Ramidan and the Mexican fighting bull Panther took place to-day as advertised, in the bull-ring in New Laredo, Mexico; but though it pleased the crowd, it was not much of a fight after all. Great consternation was caused once when the bear, being pursued in one of the corners by the bull’s mad rushes, proceeded to climb out over the top of the cage. The people made a rush for the top railing, and had not the bear, fail- ing to get over the barbed top of the cage, quietly gone down the way he went up many would have jumped down twenty- five feet to the outside. ' The bull was a fine animal and was the aggressive party throughout. When the bear was first let through the trapdoor the buil immediately made a terrific as- sault, and the bear, completely dum- founded, took a sneak several times around thering. Finally the bnll made a plunge on the bear’s short ribs, greatly embarrassing the grizzly. Though the bull, under much prodding, renewed the attack some dozen times the bear failed to show fight excepting in about three in- stances. The crowd seemed to enjoy it and their shouts could be heard for a mile away, but as a fight it was a failure. The style of the combatants was entirely different. The bear is the same that fought the lion ‘“Par- nell” on April 1, but the cage was much enlarged for this event, being thirty feet in diameter, perfectly round, and fifteen feet high. Anything with a bull in it pleases the Mexicans, and a fight of great interest will take place in Monterey, Mex- ico, next Sunday, when one of the best fighting bulls is going against a lion in the same cage. After the fight the bull was very lively. Itis reported that the bear died an hour after as the result of his pun- ishment. S AN IMPROBABLE STORY. ~ Ohio Furnishes the Latest Revelation Concerning J. Wilkes Booth. NEWARK, Oxro, April 15.—~Christopher Columbus Ritter, who arrived from Ger- many in the winter of 1864, and through J. Wilkes Booth's influence secured a posi- tion in Ford's Theater, tells the story of Lincoln’s assassination, claiming that Boston Corbett shot Edward Fuche, an actor resembling Booth, and not President Lincoln’s assassin. Ritter is well educated and his character is above reproach. He declared that he assisted Booth to escape, and that they sailed for Brazil May 2, 1865. He soom left Brazil, but he met Booth by appointment in Hamburg eleven years ago. and on that occasion Booth gave him pictures of his children born by a South American wife. These pictures, bearing a strong resem- blance to Booth, are now in Ritter's pos- session. Ritter says he heard from Booth last winter, and he was then on the South American stage. ———— ¢ WELL WORTH TAKING. ZLand-Grabbers Who Have Several Fine ZLocations in Sight. CHAMBERLAIN, 8.

MACED WAS THE LEADER He Wiil Probably Be Garroted as Punishment for His Misdeeds. Filibustering In Cuba Is Reported to Be at an End for the Present. HAVANA, Cusa, April 15.—Maceo was the leader of the rebel forces with Gomez during the last revolution. Though buta youth he achieved considerable distinction, At the outbreak of this revolution Maceo landed at Baracoa on March 31, With him were a following of the officers of the rebel army: Brigadier-General Flor Crombet, General Jose E. Maceo, Colonel Augustine Celreco, Colonel Patrice Corona, Frank Agramonte, Pedro Duvergar, Jose Marti, Juan Justicer, Joaquin S8anchez, Jorge Es- trada, Adolfo Pena, Domingo Guzman, Jose Palacin, Jesus Maria Santana, Alberto Boy, Luis Garrinel, Manuel Ganda, Juan Limonta, Isadora Noriega, J. L. Jarvey, Silverio Sanchez and Louis Soler. Maceo's fate is known in advance. It would have been far better for him if he had been killed, as was Crombet, than brought to Havana and put in the old Morro Castle’s gloomy prison. He will be kept there some time and then possibly be given a mock trial. It is certain he will be garroted. ‘‘We have no need of Campos and his troops now,” said a Spanish officer when he heard of Maceo’s capture and Crombet’s death. Consul-General Williams is preparing for an early departure, and Vice-Consul Springer assumes the duties of the office at once. Calleja, captain-general of Cuba, who is in supreme authority until the ar- rival of Campos, who by the royal proc- lamation is commander whenever he lands, confirmed the capture of Maceo and added that all of the filibustering is nearly at an end. Calleja was highly gratified that the revolution had been put down without the aid of Campos’ troops. “When the Americans see how easily we can crush the rebels here in the island without the aid of the home troops or with only a few of them, you will realize the amount of anarchistic sentiment here has been exaggerated greatly,” said Calleja. “Tell your people,” he added, ‘“‘that Cuba is loyal to Spain and Spain has never op- pressed the isiand as reported.” Resuming the discussion of the battle at Palmerito Calleja said that he had official information concerning the capture of Maco and the killing of Brigadier-General Flor Crombet.

Rich me who are vexed by slight physical ailments, or who are the victims of nervous troubles, are, not slow to discover that there is danger in the water cooler. Many of them have their water boiled and chilled by refrigeration before they will drink it. Others have in their private] offices jars of mineral waters. Many bank and, railroad presidents are particular about hav- ing the water they drink free from poisoncus germs. People who would avoid the dangers which arise from water impurities at all times should make a practice of taking a little pure whisky each day. Even should germs have ine vaded the system this will effectually destroy them. Itwill keep the blood free from taint and in healthy motion.
