The cashier was busy counting up the day’s jreceipts, amounting in all to about $500. FHe startled at seeing a masked man _peering through the little gat indow fthrough which the conductors turn in their fares. At f e thought it was one of the em- ploy ng a fiesta joke, but this theory was soon dispelled. The masked man ushed a loaded revolver through the little open window, and then passed hrough an empty shot bag. He ordered the cashier to fill the bag with the money he had before him. the cashier a man of nerve and equal to the emergency. He pretended to take the empty sack as though responding to the robber’s request, but with one hand he pulled a loaded re- volver irom a drawer and before the thief realized the situation he was looking down the muzzle of it. The sight of that revol- ver convinced the robber that he could do without the coin, and he made a wild dash for the door. A policeman was promptly summoned, but he arrived too late to catch the escaping highwayman. — - HOLD-UP AT SACRAMENTO. Basked Men Board a Streetcar and Rob the Conductor. SACRAMENTO, Car., April 21.—Two masked men boarded a streetcar at Twentieth and J streets to-night, and with drawn pistols compelled the conductor and a passengerto give up what money 3 had in their possession.

Then the smaller man jumped onto the car, witha | Smith & Wesson revolver in his hand, and kept pointing it first at the passengers and then at the conductor, while the tall foot- pad made a thorough search of their pockets. When they left the car the con- ductor was ordered to move on, and as saon as this was done the Tobbers disap- pear As soon as word of the robbery was re- ceived at the police station the patrol wagon with several officers was dispatched to the locality, but no trace of the robbers has been fo d ——— SAN MIGUEL SHAKEN.

Cap- tain Ellis reports no further changes of moment in Cuylers Harbor, but states that @ sharp earthquake shock was felt on the island on the 17th of April. As this shock was not felt anywhere on the mainland, this circumstance confirms the theory that the channel islands are of a geological formation separate and apart from the mainland.

Henry Schwartz a Heavy Loser on His Los Angetes Venture. LOS ANGELES, CaL.,, April 21.—As a financial venture the fiesta races were a flat failure, and Henry Schwartz is at least $5000 poorer on that account. Fortunately the genial bookmaker from the metropolis is a wealthy man and a trifle like that isno object to him. The fact that such racing as that provided last week failed to attract a crowd demonstrates that running races have not yet come into favor here. s L THE TACOMA EMBEZZLER. Receiver Oakes Says Pawl Schulze’s Short- age Will Execed $100,000. TACOMA, Wasm., April 21.—LReceiver Qakes of the Northern Pacific said to- night, before leaving for the East, that the shortage in the accounts of the late Paul Schulze would probably exceed $100,000 and may reach $250,000. Mr. Oakes ex- plained the methods of the dead land agent, saying: “As payments were made on land con- tracts during the last four or five years the money was not always turned over to the clerks, but was evidently kept by Mr. Schulze and the holders of the contracts were given receipts. “The payments on many of those con- tracts have all been completed, but the THEEE SONOMA COUNTY BELLES WHO ARE FAVORITES IN THE CONTEST FOR QUEEN OF THE HEALDSBURG CARNIVAL., finest display could be secured at that time. A large number of the residents of Northern Sonoma were in attendance when Mrs. J. Lewis, president of the as- sociation, called the meeting to order. Dele- gates from ad the Protestant churches were in their seats, and perfect harmony prevailed. A committee consisting of Rev. Mr. Mes- senger, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, City Clerk C. H. Pond and Attorney E. M. Norton was appointed to make final arrangements as to excursion rates. It is definitely known that the railway com- pany will give greatly reduced rates to those who visit the festival, and the com- mittee will visit San Francisco Monday to confer with the management of the road in regard to this matter. The committee of arrangements is com- posed of the following ladies: Baptist Church—Mesdames R. Powell and J. Lewis; M. E. Church, south—Mesdames F. M. Staton and C. H. Gaines; M. E.

Stanger and Charles Mes- senger, who will have charge of the vocal music, while the Healdsburg orchestra and Sotoyome Band will furnish instru- mental selections. In the matter of decorations acommittee consisting of Mesdames Powell, Peck, Clack, Gaines and Slocum were appointed. They will oversee the work of decorating the pavilion and also the floats for the floral parade, which will be held on Thurs- day, the ovening day. The displays will be made in Truitt's Opera-house. Prizes will be awarded for the best exhibits and lively competition is expected. On Friday afternoon a baby show will be had and elegant prizes will be awarded the finest babies. As Northern Sonoma excels in this particular line an exhiblt worth seeing is promised. On Saturday the carnival will close with the awarding of prizes to the successful competitors. Each evening a musical and literary pro- gramme will be rendered at the theater by the best talent of this section. The Queen of the festival is to be chosen by ballot and six of Healdsburg’s fair daugh- ters arein the race, which already is highly exciting. The candidates are the Misses Carrie Belle Moulton, who leads by a few votes, Lena Zane, Fthel Amesburg, Zoe Bates, Florence Denio and May Raymond. All are very popularand the contest prom- ises to be very exciting. The friends of Miss Linnie Denio, an- other Sonoma belle, are also keeping her name well up in the ranks. Sheisa charm- ing blonde of pronounced type; her queenly carriage and fascinating presence are the desired requisites in the fair lady who is to be crowned queen of the coming festival. Miss Mae Raymond is receiving a vote that is highly complimentary. This young lady, who is one of Bonoma’s most gifted elocutionists, is a favorite in the valley. She has a beautiful face, with perfect com- plexion and delicate features, a mass of soft brown hair,” expressive brown eyes and a vivacious manner. 1) Sacramento Soldiers Win a Victory.

LOS ANGELES, CAn., April 21.—Now that the fiesta excitement has subsided, the directors of the Los Angeles Athletic Club intend to renew their efforts to secure books did not show it. The holders became impatient for deeds. Their complaints a few months ago were our first intimation of the wrong-doing. Before we can know definitely how large the shortage is we will have to have returns from every one of the holders of our land contracts. They will produce their receipts for payments, and these will be compared with the books. “‘The purchasers wi!' not lose anything. The entire losy ryusd fxdl -u; the com- pany. When purchasers present the evi- dences of their full payments, whether our books tally with them or not, deeds will be issued and the contracts taken up.” Mr. Oakes said he had positive informa- tion that Schulze has embezzled funds of the Yakima Investment Comwany. SAVED BY'“HIS PURSE. A BSilver Coin Stops a Bullet Aimed for a Tacoma Man’s Body. TACOMA, WasH., April 21.—In a shoot- ing affray this evening shortly after 6 o’clock between James Wilson, a gambler, and James Regent, a carpenter, the former was shot through the right arm above the elbow. Butfora purse containing a sil- ver coin in Wilson’s pocket he would have been killed, as a bullet from Regent's pistol flattened itself on the purse on its way to the abdomen of the gambler. The affair was the culmination of bad blood that has existed for some time. AFFRAY AT MENLD PARY, James Fraser Is Stabbed in the Back by Dominic Bargetto. The Non-Payment of a Ten-Dollar Loan Leads to the Deadly Assault. MENLO PARK, Cav., April 21.—A stab- bing affray, which took place here last evening, resulted in the death of James Fraser, a young man in the employ of Joseph A. Donohoe Jr. Early in the evening Fraser went to the residence of J. Leroy Nickel, which adjoins that of Mr. Donohoe, to spend the evening with a friend. While there Fraser met Dominic Bargetto and hot words passed between the men in a dispute over money matters. It seems that Fraeer had bor- rowed §$10 from Bargetto, and the latter insisted on its return that evening. The matter was finally settled by Fraser promising to pay the money on the 1st of May. Young Fraser started to go home toward midnight and on passing through the gate to the residence was pounced upon by Bar- getto, who stabbed him in the back. The weapon used was an ordinary pocketknife, the blade of which entered just below the shoulderblade, making » wound two and a half inches long and aninchand a half deep. The blade struck a rib in its course, and this is the only thing that saved the life of Fraser. While the young man is quite weak from the loss of blood, his con- dition is not considered dangerous. Bargetto was arrested early this morning by Constgble Ryan and taken to the County Jail at Redwood City. He claims he did the stabbing in seli-defense. Both men bear good rep 1tations. — Denver Hardware Company Assigns. DENVER, Coro., April 21.—The BDenver Hardware' Manufacturing Comgnny has made an assignment to Alec C. Foster for the benefit of creditors. Frank N. Briggs, first vice-president and manager of the company, stated to-day that the assign- ment was made so that neither the com- pany nor those who held its paper would suffer. The inyentory taken in February showed the assets to be $123,000, but the schedule 1o be filed to-morrow will show less than $100,000. Mr. Briggs said that the liabili- IN AN DIEGO'S PORT, Arrival of the Perry After an Eventful Voyage. WAR’S HORRORS AT LIMA Captain Smith’s Story of the Desperate Fighting in the Peruvian City. AMERICANS WERETHREATENED Two Attempts Made to Burn the Legation and No Heed Paid to - the Consul’s Protests. SAN DIEGO, Car., April 21.—The rev- enue cutter Commodore Perry, Captain H. D. Smith commander, arrived this morn- ing from New York, after a most eventful voyage. The Perry left December 20 and touched at Barbadoes, Bahia and Montevideo on the east coast. At the latter port the Brit- ish cruiser Wild Swan, now with the Royal Arthur en route to Corinto, was en- countered and the two vessels left for the strait together. The Perry outsailed the Swan, the latter catching up at Sandy Point. Terrific weather was encountered in the Strait of Magellan, but the Perry finally got through and took the inland course up Smyths Channel. There its coal gave out, and at one time it looked as though the vessel would be lost. Fog obscured the coast and there were only sixteen tons of coal left. Captain Smith prdered the fires put out and hove to. Finally the fog lifted, and the Wild Swan was seen making its way out of the channel into the Pacific. The Perry fol- lowed suit and managed to reach Port Corral, where it arrived with only four tons of coal. Replenishing the supply there, it made Valparaiso, sailed thence to Callao, where it arrived on March 24. “We found the country in an uproar,” said Captain Smith. *The American Con- sul, General Leon Jostremski, came on board and asked for assistance, saying there was danger of American lives and property being destrsyed, and that the legation at Lima had been almost burned by the revolutionists. 1 placed at his dis- posal twenty-five men and a rapid-firing gun, holding them ready for immediate work at a signal from the Consul. “] visited Minister McKenzie at Lima, and found that city in a deplorable condi- tion. Fifteen hundred men had been kiiled the day before, and the streets and buildings were filled with the wreck of battle. The American legation is situated over the commercial house of Grace & Co. The firing of the building was supposed to have been done out of revenge, because Grace sold two vessels to the Caceres Gov- ernment. The fire had been put out, but while the Perry was lying at Callao an- other attempt was made to burn the build- ing. McKenzie agreed with Jostremski that the interests of Americans were en- dangered, and urged me to stay until the provisional government was more firmly established. I did so. “The streets in front of the legation were barricaded, and on either side had been placed the guns of the Caceristas and Monteneros, or revolutionists. The shots rebounded and went throngh the walls of the legation building, and one shot nar- rowly missed Mrs. McKenzie. No atten- tion was paid to the protest of Minister McKenzie. He could not enforce his de- mands, as the Perry was the only Ameri- can vessel at Callao. “At Lima were evidences of a fight on every hand. The streets were littered with lime to destroy the stench made by the bodies. Windows were broken, houses honeycombed with bullets, and many were burned to the ground, and devastation and destruction were to be seen everywhere. The revolution was evidently bloody enough to suit the sanguinary people of that country. I went to the Governor’s house, and there in the courtyard were the bodies of 300 men, slaughtered like rats. I looked to see a plague break out in the city. “When I returned to Callao I learned that Caceres was a fugitive on board a French frigate lying beside the Perry. Every effort was being made by the pro- visional leaders to get hold of him. His life would have been snuffed out likea can- dle if he had been given up. He applied to me for asylum, the Perry being the only vessel in port, but as I was under or- ders to proceed north I refusedto take him southward to the ports where he desired to go. There was much excitement about the affair and it looked as though Caceres would be captured by his enemies. He finally managed to get on board a German steamer and made his way to Iquique. “I received letters from Minister McKen- zie and General Jostremski that the revo- lution was concluded and the Provisional Government established, and accordingly sailed on March 29, arriving at Acapulco April 10. There I received orders to pro- ceed speedily to San Francisco to outfit for the!Bering Sea. We will leave at daybreak Tuesday morning."” WILL NOT GO SOUTH. The Cruiser Olympia Soon to Return to San Francisco, SAN DIEGO, Carn., April 21.—The United States steamship Olympia arrived at about 11 o’clock this morning and an- chored off Hotel del Coronado. She will remain here four or five days, and then return to San Francisco. The officers of the Olympia laugh at the idea of going south, and state that the cruiser is not in fighting trim should she be ordered to proceed to Corinto from here. They also state that the Monterey is bound to Callao, owing to the recent attempt by the insurgents there to burn the American legation. Unless orders are received to the contrary, the Olympia will not take on coal here, but will return to San Francisco under easy steam. Satolli in Pennsylvania. POTTSVILLE, Pa., April 21.—The Cath- ties were about $20,000 in accounts and a trust deed for $50,000, dated the 1st of last November. T 'hrger share of the lbookJ is held by Eastern stockholders. olics of the Schuylkill coal region turned out4n large numbers to-day to honor Mgr. Satolli, who came here to lay the corner stone of the new school of St. John's Ger- man Catholic Church. Excursion trains from all points in the county and as far north as Hazelton were run. The church was crowded both morning and afternoon. Pontifical mass was celebrated this morn- ing by Mgr. Satolli, and the cornerstone was laid in the presence of 6000 people. s o CUBA’S REVOLUTION. Spanish Troops Said to Be Suffering From Yellow Fever. NEW*YORK, N.Y., April 21.—The Ward line steamer Nicaragua arrived this morn- ing from Cienfugos and Santiago, Cuba. It was learned from one of the passengers that a very lively state of affairs existed at the seat of war. The insurgents had a fol- lowing of 10,000 men, 3000 of who were well armed. Many encounters have al- ready taken place in which the Govern- ment troops have been worsted. The offi- cials made very light of these engage- ments, the passengers said, and claimgd a victory wherever they had the slightest encounter with the insurgents. The Spanish troops lately arrived from Spain were said to be in a wretched state, having suffered greatly from yellow fever and from fatigue in pursuing small bodies of the insurgents over the mountains. SR U WANTS GAME PROTECTED. A Deputy Sheriff Says Arizona Indians Are Disregarding Laws. ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mex., April 21.— Deputy Sheriff Tom Drum is circulating a petition along the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad to the Secretary of the Interior to suppress Indian wanderers from the reser- vations of Northern Arizona. Itisclaimed that the red men are devastating that part of the country of game in direct violation of the laws of the Territory and with the consent of the Indian agent. One instance is cited where a party of Navajoes went into the Mogollon Mount- ains last November and remained until January, killing 376 deer, 117 turkeys and an untold amount of small game. The petition further states that when game is scarce the Indians do not hesitate to ap- propriate ranch cattle. THREE MURDERS I UTH Bodies Are Found in a Lake Near Lehi by Parties Who Were Searching. The Men Have Been Missing Since Early in February and Were Killed Then. SALT LAKE, Uran, April 21.—The mys- tery surrounding the disappearance of three young men who lived in the vicinity of Utah Lake, near Lehi, Utah, is gradually being cleared up. Albert Hayes, Andrew Johnson and Al- fred Neilson, had been living near Pelican Point for some time, but were ejected abbut two months agoona suit brought by Oliver A. Slade. The men were missed some time ago, and on Mon- day last the body of Hayes was found near the lake shore. Death had been caused by two gunshot wounds. Late yesterday aft- ernoon the bodies of Johnson and Neilson were found. They were discovered in the lake, on a wagon and were tied down with ropes. The bodies presented a sickening ap- pearance. The murders probably occurred in February. The murdered men were all cousins and were running a stock business on the ranch. The theory is that the men were mur- dered in the cabin during the night and thrown into the lake, as the bodies were partly undressed when found. The gun- shot wounds appear to have been made with a 44-caliber rifle. Suspicion, it is said, points to H. Hayes, the stepfather of one of the murdered men, and a'son of his, who is missing. Other theories are advanced, but have no motive to support them. The country surrounding the ranch is wild and broken, and has been the scene of many tragedies between the Indians and early settlers. The Coroner’s jury examined the bodies to-day and will continue the investigation at Lehi to-morrow. The excitement runs high, especially among ranchmen in the vicinity of the murders, Some arrests are expected to-morrow. Hermit Marshall Dead. KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 21.—John C. Marshall, aged 85 years, a cousin of the noted Tom Marshall of Kentucky and a nephew of the Chief Justice of the State, is dead. He lived at Independence. Mar- shall came from Kentucky to Indepen- dence forty years ago. He was atone time a prosperous planter, but for years has made himself conspicuous by living a her- mit’s life, although he was well educated and had a substantial income. AE il s N Mrs. Parnell May Not Survive. BORDENTOWN, N.J., April 21.—Mrs. Parnell teemed brighter this morning, but as the day advanced she grew weaker. It is doubtful whether she will survive the shock of the assault. Nothing has as yet developed to throw any light upon the case, although the detectives are still at work. ———— Ex-Congressman Sweeny Dead. OWENSBORO, Ky., April 21.—Ex-Con- gressman W. N.

SIMLA, Inpra, April 21.—Major-General 8ir Robert Low, commanding the Chitral relief force, telegraphed this morning that Major Doane learned last night that the Chitral Fort had been relieved. The news reached Major Doane through a reliable source and it is expected that the confirma- tion will be received to-morrow. It is not known whether it was Colonel Kelly’s or General Low’sadvance column that effected the relief. Sher Afzul, who at one time was de facto ruler of Chitral, and whose recent capture of the capital led to the dispatch of the British expedition, is said to have ab- sconded. g i, Waller in Jail. MARSEILLES, Fraxce, April 21.—John L. Waller, formerly. American Consul at Tamatave,who was brought to this port on the steamer Djemmah after having been tried by a French courtmartial and sen- tenced to twenty years’ imprisonment on the charge of having been a spy in the in- terest of the Hovas, was taken from the steamer by the police and lodged in jail after having been registered as a prisoner. SAD 15 LOS ANGELES, The Revelers Have De- parted and Quiet Reigns. END OF THE FANFARE. In the Early Hours of Sunday the Carnival is Ushered Out. REGAL POMP HAS GIVEN WAY. Queen and Courtiers Depart, and Reluctantly the Old Regime Takes Hold. LOS ANGELES, Car., April 21.—This afternoon, one week ago, a rainstorm had just passed over Los Angeles, and the sun was half-hidden behind the breaking clouds. The streets were newly bedecked in festival colors of wine, orange and olive, and the people, while properly observing the Sabbath-day. were still in fancy wel- coming the festival queen who was to come among them on the morrow. The queen came, held court so splendid that surely she must sit in history with that other splendid Queen of Sheba, the glory of her short reign being fit material for fables to build upon and weave their magic by fu- ture firesides, when Bishop the procession leads, And generals curb their prancing steeds, While in the sun each gilded spire Leaps up like those at Rome. For seven days of bright sunshine that followed that storm the beautiful queen sat in splendor, adding circumstance to pomp, and smiling a benignant encourage- ment upon the revelry. And now it is Sunday again. The queen and her court and all the brave line of gal- lants, the sheen of purple and gold and the fanfare of trumpets have gone. But for the withéred blossoms that lie in drifts in Central Park or along the highways, half burying here and there a broken mask or cowl, and all the other worn and torn trappings that stand as evidences everywhere along the streets, it would seem already a fable. Even the sunshine of these seven days is gone, and clouds have lowered heavily over the city and a feeling of rain is in the air. The quiet that was noted as distinguish- ing the Sunday preceding the festival dis- tinguishes also this one that succeeds it, although the day was ushered in by acrash and clang and shout that marked the rev- els at their height and did not hush until the cold gray clouds were lighted in the east to frown it down. It died away slowly and regretfully, a fitful shout and shrill whistle even after sun-up marking the hali- petulent reluctance with which the most loyal subjects of the queen gave way. But their time was up and they knew it, and but for the occasional clang of the street- car or the rattle of a carriage wheel the streets have all the afternoon been still. The sense of loss to-day has taken the place of that of anticipation a week ago. A very great part of the crowd has already gone and the crush is relieved. People sit listlessly about the hotels or occasionally walk out into the street to look at and sadly comment upon the wreckage. Already the little vari-colored incandes- cent lamps that twinkled like a network of stars above Spring street have been taken down. The wires that carried a line of Chinese lanterns on both sides of the roadway until they met at the vanishing point in the distance now swing in the ris- ing wind only the torn and ragged rem- nants. The tri-colored bunting flaps dis- consolately from awning and balcony, al- ready misshapen and twisted out of its de- sign. The flags and streamers droop wear- ily or hang twisted about their staffs or are tangled about the electric wires. A clown’s cap of last night’s revel sits mock- ingly cynical all this Sunday afternoon above a figure in the busy thoroughfare of Spring street that but yesterday stood for beauty. The merry festival of the City of Angels is dome.

The young girl, or woman, often grows pale, wrink- led and thin, eats little, everything wearies her, she complains of herself as aching and sore and as sleeping poorly. Often she is troubled with backache, ora tender spine, with a bearing-down weight in the abdomen, or at periods she may be irregular, or suffer extreme pain from functional derangements. Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In- stitute, of Buffalo, N. Y., in his experi- ence, met many cases of this kind, for which he used a prescription which cured permanently in ninely-eight per cent. of all cases. Having proven so successful, Dr. Pierce put his “ Favorite Prescription ” on the market, and it is to-day sold more largely than any other medicine for the ills of woman. For all functional derangements, dis- placements, ulceration, inflammation, and the catarrhal drain from the lining membranes of the special internal organs of women, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription reaches the origin of the m%le. and corrects it.
