THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1895. BNTO Cyclers Take Up Arms Against the Police . ~Force. WAR IN SACRAM ANINDIGNATIONPARADE Hundreds of Wheelmen Par- ticipate in a Deafening Demonstration. REVENGE OF THE BLUECOATS. The City Prison Thronged With Wheels and Their. Luck~- ¢ less Riders. SACRAMENTO, Car, May 17.—War has been declared between the police au- thorities and the wheelmen of “this city, and the streets arc thronged with cyelists who are expressing their dissatisfaction at the method which has béen followed by the city authorities in enforcing an ordi- nance which was formulated- nearly tiree years ago, and having never been enforced, has becom most a dead létter. - The or- dinance; which was drafted at the request of the Sacramento wheelmen, contains the following claus Every person riding a bieyclé in any public street or thoroughfareé within the corporate limits of the city of Sscramento in the. night time must have a lamp and a bell or horn -at- tached thereto,” and - must keep ‘said lamp lighted, and must ring said bell or sound said horriloudly and continuously immediately be- fore feéacliing and while traversing every pub- lic street crossing; and every: person failing to do so s guilty of a misdemeanor. On the’strengthr of this ordinance, which has never been enforced, a number of per- sons were arrested last night withount any. Prévious warning, ‘and conveyed to the police station, where they were compelled to make a cash deposit to_ensure their ap- pearance in the Police Court this morn- ing. When ' their cases. were . called in- the er tribunal they all- entered a plea of guilty and were fined $5. each. Thiswas deemed an arbitrary proceeding by -all ramento. wheelmen, and .as the or-| dinance does not specify -the size of the | lamp, bell or horn -the cyclists have been | complying with the ordinance this even- ing to the letter, and the consequence is that thie city isa scene of deafening pan- demonium. The stréets are thronged with hundreds of riders who have attached immense cow and dinner bells to their -wheels, while others have procured horns of enormous Gimensions or ear-splitting tles, which. | emit skrieks-equal to those supposed. to be uttered by lost souls ‘when procipitutcdl | la i from-the. battlements “of teaven.: All of these instruments are to blow or ring con- | tiniously, and the din is deafening, One of the features of the indignation paradé is a tandem wheel, the riders of | which" have procured a horn seven- feet lohg and of equivalent diameter, - which ermits a noise ‘equal to a foghorn. The head rider supports the instrument.upon his shoulders” and..the back rider blows continuously at each street-crossing. All the wheels' are decorated with lan- terns of exaggerated dimensions, many Tiders. having: Chineseé lanterns rigged on Ppoles and fastened to the handles of their machines. “One bicycle is decorated-with a locomotive headlight. In. the meantime the police are retali- ating by arresting every rider who. neglects to give the requisite warning on approach- ing any street corner, and the police sta- tion is being erowd: is claimed that many of the arrests made are-arbitrary and unwarranted, yet despite the arrests the:din seems to be increasing instead of ‘diminishing. Several wheel- | men claim thiat they have been threatened | witharrest on'a charge of disturbing the peace;-and say they will ¢ontest the mat ter in-the courts-tothe bitter end. 'As the ranks of. the riders contain many of the leading business and professional men of the city ‘thie: fight promises to become ex- ceedingly warm, aithough thé police are displaying discretion in one thing—they as ‘yet havé fdiled to capture any but riders ‘in’ the ‘ordinary walks of life. A prominent wheelman in speaking: of the demonstration said : = : “This is'not.a preconcerted -movement, but purely spontaneous.. Wé do not wish to viclate the law. :'On the- contrary, it ‘s entirely satisfactory to all, but the method pursued in’ enforéing this. ordinance is arbitriry-in the extreme, and seems to be devoted-exclusively against the wheelmén of Sacramento. "1f I mistake not, there is A ordinance which demands that hack- drivers shall disp lighted- lamps on their vehicles; yet when a wheelmin was arfested- by 4 _seemingly incompetent police representa¥ive this evening, a hack . drove by with: both lamps untiglited, and -no.move was made to.place him under arrést. o A “We consider. that the-wheelmen of Sacrimento - should. at least - have been given warning béforehand ‘that the ordi- nance was o beentforced, and we deem the action of the authorities in arresting and fining cyclists §5 for violating an ordinance inat hds been a dead letter for such a long period an outrage. We: are law:abiding taxpayers, and-:should .be given some consideration.” * LOSAVGLES MK WED Major A. w. Bérr._et't Receives with wheels, and it | Soldiers’ Homes and a prominent mem- ber of the Grand Army. At the time of receiving the appointment he was quar- termaster and major of the brigade at Los | Angeles, which brigade he joined in 1888. Although the news of his appointment is but a few hours old, he has already re- - ceived dozens of congratulatory telegrams from all parts of the State. ——-—— A SANTA MARIA MANIAC. Allessio Tomasette Has a Peculiar Aver- sion to Glass in Any Form. SANTA BARBARA, Carn., May 17.— Allessio Tomasette was brought down from Santa Maria to-day for medical ex- amination to determine his insanity. His mania takes the peculiar form of exaspera- tion at the sight of glass, which causes him to demolish windows, attempt the destruc- tion of show cases and eridanger the lives of such inhabitants of the uppér county as'live in glass houses. His only depart- ure from this especial mania was in an attack upon a fellow passenger named Williams on the way down, but whether or not this gentleman has a glass eye was not stated. ACQUITTED OF A CHICO MURDER. Charles McLawghlin It'ound Not Guilty . on His decond Trial. OROVILLE, CAr., May 17.—The second trial of Charles McLaughlin for the killing of Frank Picanco with a pocket-knife at Crouch’s ranch, near Chico, last January was commenced before Judge Gray last Monday. The case was given to the jury this. morning, and after being ‘out seven hours it returned a verdict of not guilty. The verdict meets ‘with- general approval, as McLaughlin had been badly treated by Picanco and his Italian friends several times previous to- the time of the murder. KIDNAPING AT REDONDO, Armed Sailors Force Non- Union Men to Leave a Schooner. The Entire Crew Sent to Los Angéles Under an Escort of Their Captors. LOS. ANGELES, Can, May. 17.—The three-masted -schooner Webfoot, which on Wednesday finished discharging a cargo of lamber from- Portland at -Redondo, is short-handed and will not sail for several days to come. She carried a non-union crew, and. the little seaport fown now furnishes another story of kidnaped jack tars. About 1 o'clock yesterday ‘morning, as the:four sailors of the vessel lay sound asleep in the forecastle, they were sud- denly awakened by being violently han- dled. When they jumped to their feet they looked down the barrels of revolvers in the hands_of six ‘or seven men. The sailors were ordered to put on their clothes as quickly as possible and not to uttera word. B After dressing they were ordered at the point of the pistols to get into a large boat at’the stern of the ship. Thé Webfoot’s crew realized that they were being kid- naped by union sailors and offered no re- sistance:™ They were taken to San Pedro and put aboard the morning tréin. A union man accompanied them. to.this city. The sail- ors; upon reaching Los Angeles, told the union man that they should like to go to Redondo and get their pay. The fellow said this would be all right, and his offer to see them on the right train—they being strangers here—was accepted. They did not go to Redondo, however, for the man put them aboard a terminal train which carried them to South Pasa- dena. They-had no-money, and their pas- sage was paid only to that point. Three of -them walked to this city, the fourth beeoming separated from his companions, and the police returned them to Redondo. It is feared there will be trouble when an effort is made to put the men back on their vessel.” HE WILI, MARRY AN ACTRESS. A Friewd of Irving Blinn Confirms the Report of His Engagemént, LOS ANGELES, CaL.,, May 17.—Irving Blinn, the son of the millionaire lumber- man of this city, is said to have acknowl- edged .to some friends that he has de- cided to wed the young actress, Genevieve Nannery, who has been playing with ‘the Dailey theatrical troupe in this and other California cities. A friend, speaking of the affair, said the wed- ding would probably take place in San Francisco very shortly, but the date had not yet been definitely fixed. ‘When Mr. Blinn was questioned on the matter a few days ago he positively denied that there was any foundation for the re- port, and treated the matter in a most in- different way, saying it was simply a dodge of Manager Dailey to advertise Miss Nan- nery as an actress. An afternoon paper here, which claims to also have reliable information on the matter, confirms the report that the wed- ding will take place, and says that it is true there was at first some objection to the match by the parents of the young man, but they have at last consented to the marriage. Miss Nannery is now in San Francisco, but her theatrical brother- in-law, Dailey, Is still in this city. _ Many are-disposed to think that young Blinn is treating the affair as a good joke, and that, asit has helped to bring him into public prominence in this locality, h# is not disposed to spoil it. If, however, the state- ments of his friends -are to be believed, it will result in proving a serious matter and end m matrimony.

The wagers he ‘made, however, were small bets with in- timate friends, which would only aggre- -gate $300.

Is REPAIRS BEING PUSHED. The Whole Southern Coast Will Now Be Left With~ out Protection. PHILLIPS SUCCEEDS ROATH. The Late Commander of the Levi Woodbury Takes Crarge of the Vessel. SAN DIEGO, CaL., May 17.—Captain W. D. Roath, commander of the revenue cut- ter Oliver Wolcott, was succeeded to-day by Captain Morton L. Phillips of Eastport, Me., late commander of the revenue cutter Levi Woodbury. Captain Phillips arrived yesterday and took command to-day as superintendent of the repairs now being made to the Wolcott to fit her for sea. The repairs consist of new masts, smoke- stock, repainting, etc., and the work will consume a week or ten days. g Captain Roath will remain in San Diego with his family on waiting orders. He will not resnme command of the Wolcott, the custom of the department being to change commanders every three years. Orders were received to-day from the Treasury Department for the Wolcott to praceed to Bering Sea as soon as ready. These orders have been expected for some time, and the repairs have been hurried in consequence. With the Wolcott, Bear, Rush, Corwin, Perry and Grant in Bering Bea this whole coast will be left without protection from smuggling operations, and the saving of life and property, in which the cutters have proven invaluable, isata temporary end. Collector Fisher said to-day that the re- moval of the Wolcott was only during the | sealing season, and that she or the Grant would be returned to this station, one of the most important on the coast, on ac- count of the proximity of the Mexican bor- der and the consequent smuggling opera- tions. DENOUNCED AS FALSE. Rumored Orders of the Pheasant Regard- ing Regulations Not Believed. VICTORIA, B. C., May 17.—The report sent out from Port Townsend to the effect that an officer of H. M. 8. Pheasant had said that Great Britain had so modified the orders to the Bering Sea fleet as to prac- tically abrogate the restrictive regulations is undoubtedly false. The orders were not given to the commander of the Pheasant until a few hours before sailing. The re- port says the statement was made April 25. The Pheasant left for Bering Sea April 20. The flagship Royal Arthur is due here Sunday. in company with the Saturn and Hyacinthe. Itis probable both the latter vessels will join the Pheasant in Alaskan waters. A gus HORNED TOADS IN DEMAND. Five Hundred Bug-Catchers Ordered by the Hawaiian Government. SAN DIEGO, Can, May 17.—H. P. ‘Wood, Hawaiian Consul, received an order yesterday from the Commissioner of Agri- culture and Forestry of Hawaii for 500 horned toads to be used on the islands for destroying a bug that is eating everything in sight. The Commissioner wrote that a lot of toads had been imported, but that they required water, which was not always handy, while the horned toad needed no water and was equally expert as a bug- catcher. Consul Wood therefore adver- tised for horned toads, paying $1 per dozen for them. San Diego County’s Fruit Crop. SAN DIEGO, CaL., May 17.—The apple crop of San Diego County in the mountain section is immense this year. The total yi€ld of the Julian apple beit will be be- tween 50,000 and 60,000 boxes. The fruit is of superior quality, as well as abundant. Other fruits are equally plentiful. Took an Overdose of Morphine. SAN DIEGO, CAL.,, May 17.—Dr. O. T. Maxon, a prominent physician of Evans- ton, Ill.. who had spent the winter in San Diego with his family, died last Friday in Pasadena from an overdose of morphine, taken to relieve pain. He was 72 years of age. MARE SLAND AFFAIRS, Work on the Monadnock, Bos- ton, Olympia and Hartford Being Pushed. Al A Rumor That the Drake-Carter Dispute Was Decided Against the Lieutenant. VALLEJO, Can., May 17.—Affairs at Mare Island continue lively, and during the last week a number of mechanics have been added to the roll. A vast amount of important work is under way on the Monadnock, Boston, Olympia and Hart- ford. The armor for the after turret of the Monadnock has arrived and is being placed in position. The big boom of the crane is in position and in a few days the official test will be made. On Thursday the workmen were engaged in placing on the crane the counter poise ballast, the weight of which is close to 120 tons. The civil service examination will meet next Tuesday for the purpose, it is said, of selecting a competent person to fill the position of master ship-joiner. The posi- tion is now vacant by reasor of the resig- nation of Charles Daly. Persons desirous of taking examination must have their papers in the hands of the officials by the 20th inst. The board appointed to con- duct the examination is composed of As- sistant Naval Constructor Spear, Carpenter O. H. Hilton and acting Carpenter George Warford. Three persons have signified their intention of competing for the posi- tion—F. M. Perry of Redwood City and E. H. Pray of SBan Francisco and William Brownlie of Vallejo. There will be others. Commandant Howison states that no orders have been received regarding the Olympia. Its currently reported that Lieutenant Carter, executive officer of the Albatross, will not go out with the vessel to-mor- row. It will be remembered that there was some difference of opinion between Cap- tain Drake and Carter and a board was ap- pointed to investigate matters. The fact that Carter will not go out has caused the statement to be made that the d®ision of the trial board was. against Carter. —————— RECEIVER'S APPOINTED. Central Washington Branch of the North- ern Pacific in New Hands. SPOKANE,Wasn., May 17.—Judge Han- ford in the United States court to-day ap- pointed Leverett'S. Miller of St. Paul and C. P. Chamberlain of Spokane receivers of the Central Washington branch of the Northern Pacific road. 3 The appointment is- made upon petition of the majority of the bondholders, who have become dissatisfied with the North- ern Pacific control. ‘The appointment of the receivers is tem- porary, a motion to make it permanent being made returnable September9. Itis made discretionary with the trustees whether the present lease shall be contin- ued or not. Three alternatives lie before the bond- holders—a lease to the Northern Pacific, a lease to the Great Northern or operation as an independent line. The road is 100 miles long and runs west from Spokane to Coulee City. e KILLED NEAR SPOKANE. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dean Crushed Under a Falling Tree. SPOKANE, Wass, May 17. — News reached this city late to-night of the kill- ing of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Dean on the Medical Lake road, nine miles west of here. They were driving home from the city, when a tree that was being felled by woodchoppers fell across their buggy. Mrs. Dean was killed instantly and Mr. Dean lived only a few minutes. et o el ol SINTR ROSA OBSEQUIES, The Body of Alva Porter Moore Consigned to Its Last Resting-Place. Story of the Adventurous Life and Sad Death of the Ambitious Young Journallst. SANTA ROSA, CAL., May 17.—The body of Alva Porter Moore, the Santa Rosa boy Alva Porter Moore. [From a photograph.] who fell from a train near Los Angeles and was killed on Tuesday evening last, was brought here by express Thursday night and buried from his home to-day. The parents of young Moore ha¥e the sympa- thy of the entire community, and the funeral was largely attended by friends, relatives and citizens. The boys of the High School were out en masse. The Rev. W. Angwin of the Methodist Church conducted the ceremonies and the choir sang several selections with true feeling. The coffin and grave were a mass of flowers and wreaths, presented by lov- ing hands. The following boys of the High School were the pall-bearers: Frank Mulgrew, Ben Hall, Ellison Ware, Percy Davis, Wade Brown and Allen Lemmon. Moore was one of the brightest young men in Santa Rosa. He was only 18 years old, but was far advanced in his studies. Ever since he was quite young hisambition was to become a journalist, and at different times he owned and edited juvenile jour- nals, and at one time he was partner and editor of the Cyclone, one of the spiciest little papers ever published in this county. Afterward he published the Porcupine, a high school paper. This he sold a few months ago. About a month ago Moore told his par- ents that he intended to start out on a tramp through the southern part of the State. He said he wanted to describe the habits and life of the tramp in California for the Home Journal, an Eastern maga- zine, and said he believed in that way he could better prepare, by actual experience, his article. He had read Bayard Taylor's book, “Views Afoot in Europe,” and with liis knapsack on his back he started out. He did not want for money. He had traveled 500 miles or more on foot.” He sent letters home to his parents occasion- ally, in which he said he was enjoying his experience very much. Moore was found late Tuesday night lying near the Southern Pacific Railroad track and taken t o the Receiving Hospital at Los Angeles in an unconscious condi- tion as the result of a fractured skull. He never regained consciousness, and died early Wednesday morning. Nobody here knew anything about the accident until the account in the CALL was seen. His father, Judge A. P. Moore, telegraphed to Los Angeles for confirma- tion and received iv later. Mrs. Moore had a premonition of im- pending danger, and when she learned the trath though prostrated by her loss she Wwas not surprised, as she ‘said she had felt something was about to happen to her boy. o T TR SAILED FROM SEATTLE.

LOOT THEIR OWN POCKETS, The Victims Then Made to Cut Open the Mall Sacks and Wells- Fargo’s Box. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., May 17.—The stage from Ager to Klamath Falls was last night robbed by an unknown highwayman. He stood in the brush in the dark and suc- ceeded in intimidating the driver and two passengers, compelling them to surrender to him the mail pouches and the Wells- Fargo box, besides their own possessions. The robbery was as daring as it was suc- cessful. The stage had left Ager at 3 p. M., with Ed Walters as driver and two passen- gers, John Wells, a well-known Klamath County stockman and Populist County Commissioner, and Emanuel Cora, a mer- chant. Cora is from Pecard, Cal. About 10 o’clock, as the horses were slowly as- cending the Topsy grade, six miles long, the command came from an ambush beside the road for the driver to hold up and throw out the express-box and the letter- pouches. The order was obeyed. The driver and passengers were then ordered to dismount. Wells was told tocut open the letter-pouches. While he was slashing away at Uncle Sam’s property with a pocket-knife, the other passenger was di- rected to break open the box supposed to contain Wells-Fargo’s money. The high- wayman objected to Cora’s making so much disturbance and confusion. He commandea Cora to desist, and ordered the driver to take an ax from the stage and make a neater job of it and with less noise. 4 [} ‘When this work was completed the pas- sengers and driver were required to take off their coats. The robber was still out of sight. They left the contents of their pockets with the other booty. Little was obtained from them. The two passengers and the driver were then permitted to get aboard the stage again and move on. Itis not known yet whether anything was secftred from the express box or letters. The robbery was within a few hundred feet of the scene of a similar robbery hardly a month ago, and there is little doubt that it was executed by the same lone highway- man. It was carried out in almost the same manner, the robber giving his order from the darkness, and not being seen by the driver and passengers, though his presence close at hand was as firmly im- pressed upon them as ifhe stood at the horses’ heads and covered them with his revolver. A more likely place for a stage robbery could bardly be selected, It was at the foot of Topsy grade, and for sevetal miles either way there is no human habi- tation, To the eastward Topsy station is at the top of the grade, six miles away, while westward there are few houses nearer than Shovel Creek, almost ten miles distant. Heavy timber, rocky ravines and moun- tain wilds surround the place in every direction, and make it possible for the robber to easily escape before officers could be notified. This route has been a hazardous one for the Wells-Fargo Express for years, and so unprofitable did it become that they with- drew from it altogether for some time, but established service on it again a year or more ago. Since that time robberies seem to have been more numerous than ever. Within a radius of fifteen miles or more there live some uncertain and suspicious char- acters, and officers who have been trying to intercept the perpetrator of the recent robberies suspect that he is a permanent resident of that section. But his capture seems almost impossible to accomplish with so many natural advantages of the country in his favor. FREED BY A REDDING JURY. A Verdict of Not Guwilty in the Charles Popejoy Murder Case. REDDING, CAL., May 17.—The jury sit- ting in the trialof Charles Popejoy, charged with the murder of Tom Green, an Indian, near Shasta last fall, brought in a verdict to-day at 4:30 ». M. of not guilty. The case has occupied the attention of the court all week, and has been the means of crowding the town with Indians and halfbreeds. This was the second case tried on indict- ments brought up by the late Grand Jury, and in both cases the defendants have been found not guilty. The jury was out only twenty minutes in the Popejoy trial. Charley Tripp, another halfbreed, who was also indicted by the Grand Jury, charged with having a hand in the same murder, has his name on the calendar for trial, which will probably take place next week, unless it is deemed advisable to withdraw the charge against him.

FRESNO, CaL.,, May 17.—A movement is under way here to form a company to build ten miles of trolley line'to reach the vineyards and wineries east of this city. The country to be tapped is very rich and produces nearly all of the wine and a large part of the raisin crop of the county. An offer of power has been made by the new San Jeaquin Electrical Company. The road, if builty will go direct to the different wineries and will thus effect a great saving in the matter of teaming. During the summer a great many people from this city work in the vineyards and wineries, and the road would be assurea of a heavy passenger traffic. et SPOKANE MURDER CASE.
