Commencement Exercises to Be Held at Santa Rosa—Arrest of a Yuba Bandit. MARCUSE, Car.,, May 18.—At a.dance held at Harkeys Corners, near this place, last night, Thomas Kinch was held up by twe men, who supposedly took him for the doorkeeper. Kinch was at the well when the robbers rode up and inquired the way to Knights Landing. While giving the desired information Kinch was struck by one of the men,» who at the same time grabbed his watchchain. A scuffle ensued in which a shot was fired, carrying away one of Kinch’s fingers. The robbers es- caped. e ATTLE JAILBREAK. Burglar Ford Dashes for Liberty, but Is Again Recaptured. SEATTLE, WasH., May 18.—R. H. Ford, a burglar, escaped from the County Prison y for the second time within six weeks, but was recaptured late to-night. Ford was convicted and sentenced to a long term in the Walla Walla Peniten- tiary. The Sheriff was to have taken him there this morning. About 7 o’clock, while Jailer Burkman was feeding the prisoners in the steel cage of the jail, Ford, who was assisting him, fled out of the door, which had been left open. It was nearly midnight when Hugh Wright, who was working in his basement, two blocks from the Courthouse, saw a man’s leg be- hind a showcase that leaned against the wall. He believed it was Ford and sent for the officers, who had no irouble in effecting a capture. When Ford arose Jailer Burkman thought he had a weapon and struck him on the head, wounding him severely. Ford was one of the men who escaped from the Seattle jail with Tom Blanck sev- eral weeks ago. Blanck was killed and all his companions recaptured. S e i PASO ROBLES STILL A CITY. Zriswncorporation Defeated by a Large Majority at a Special Election. PASO ROBLES, CarL., May 18.—After the most exciting election ever held in Paso Robles the question of disincorpor- ating the city was defeated by a majority of 140 to 113. For months the friends of disincorpora- tion have been at work securing support for the proposed relapse from the dignity of cityhood. When at last it was thought enough voters had been won over to carry the day, a special election was demanded . “by the required number of votersand or- dered by the Council. Then ensued a bitterly contested cam- paign, which ended in the defeat of the disincorporationists to-day. ‘To-night a general celebration is being Leld. Bands are parading: the streets, ‘bonfires are blazing up and in every con- ceivable manner the victors are celebrating their conquest at the polls. e NORTH Y¥AKIMA KILLING. Clarence C. Steel Receives a Mortal Wound From C. L. Halbert, NORTH YAKIMA, Wasm., May 18.— Clarénce C. Steel was shot and mortally wounded this evening by C. L. Halbert. ‘The trouble arose over Halbert’s attentions - to'Mrs. Steel. Steel witnessed a meeting between the two to-night. He called - - Halbert offensive names, and the latter picked up arock and struck Steel on the hip. “ Steel also reached for a rock, and while he was in a stooping position Hal- bert drew his revolver and fired. The ‘bullet took effect in Steel’s breast. Dr.. Frank, the attending surgeon, says the wound will be fatal. Prosecuting Attorney Englehart secured a full state- mentof the difficulty from the dying man. Halbert is now in jail, but denies that he shot Steel or had a revolver. et arad SUICIDE AT TACOMA. @George Holland Takes a Dose of Morphine While Intoxicated. TACOMA, Wass., May 18.—George Hol- land, 82 years old, a cook on the Alaska steamer Willapa and formerly of San Fran- cieco, committed suicide by taking mor- phine, this morning, while intoxicated. The deed was. precipitated by a quarrel with-his pretty wife, of whom he was un- reasonably jealous. Holland went aboard the .steamer yesterday, and was to have sailed on the return trip last night. In poing to the boat while intoxicated he fell and sprained his ankle, and was carried " ‘home.

P. Mast, Mayor and millionaire manufacturer of Spring- “field, Ohio, have been destroyed by fire. = B 5 A-Grass Valley Man Injured. GRASS VALLEY, Cav., May 18.—Peter King, of the firm of King'& Wolford, lum- - ber-dealers, had his left arm caught in the amichinery of the planing-mill this morn- -ing and the member up to the shoulder joint was horribly mangled. King’s re- .- covery is doubtful. 7 AR e L A Highwayman Arrested at ¥uba. " . XUBA CITY, CaL., May 18.—On orders from Portland, Or., by telegram, W. J. - White was arrested here yesterday and held to await the arrival of the Portland officers. White is wanted for highway robbery. He has been working on a ranch near here for several months. s < g SALMON TRADE OF THE COAST. Shipments Are Light, but Prices Continue to Rule Firm. ASTORIA, Or., May 18.—The Astorian weekly salmon report to-day said : To-day ends another slack week, and finds forward shipments still dull, with very few movements. Itis satisfagtory to note that, though only a small number of carloads have as yet left this point, they have all been sold on terms that have ruled for previous years, and at good prices. There is every indication that during the next few days stocks will break loose, and as the jobbers recede from their untenable position in the matter of 114 per cent discount, the carload movement will become rapid until the business has normal condifion. : ‘We quote as follows: Red Alaska in lots of 25,000, 95 cents per dozen; lots of 50,000 cases, 92}4 cents per dozen; lots of 75,000 cases, 90 cents per dozen. Columbia River standard brands—Straight Chinooks, $1 385 to $137}4 for tails, and $150 to $155 for flats. Ovals run from $182}4 to $187, with the prospect of a substantial increase in these prices. Up to the present time we find the big- gest sales of standard Columbia River brands have been made in Boston, and private advices tend to show an increased demand from that center over last year. The higher prices of meat in Minnesota and the Northwest generally seem to have had a tendency, to raise wholesalers’ prices on choice grades of Columbia River, and Minneapolis reports to us a growing ten- dency to take hold of futures. English advices continue to show a firm and steady market with big demands from retailers generally. Foreign agents are still very active here, and have not yet concluded their contracts, which will be heavier this year than for several seasons past. Our correspondents on the Fraser River report prospects of a light run this year, but with superior advantges for making the most of it, they look for a pack very nearly as large as that of 1894, On the Columbia River the fish remain two or three weeks ahead of their natural time and show all the characteristics of June salmon. Weight increases and sev- eral 50-pound fish have appeared. Color and quality remain most excellent and finer salmon have never been caught in the river. About 2000 boats are out from the various canneries, but only a moderate proportion of these report every day. Last week’s storms were responsible for two deaths among the fishermen and several minor accidents, though compared with last year’s casualties this record is very small. L ATER MINE HORROR, Two Goleta Workmen Badly Burned by an Explosion of Gas. Tomasette, the Anti-Glass Maniac, Committed to an Insane Asylum. SANTA BARBARA, Car., May 18.—A serious accident occurred to-aay at the Den | asphaltum mine, operated by the Alcatraz | MARE ISLAND EVENTS, The Albatross Starts for the Alaskan Coast. TO RETURN IN OCTOBER. Development of the Fish Food Industry the Object of ! the Cruise. INNOVATION FOR THE TARS. To-Day Religious Services WIll for the First Time Be Held on the Olympla. VALLEJO, Can, May 18.—The Fish Commission steamer Albatross, Captain Drake, left Mare Island for Sausalito this morning. It will remain until Monday and then go direct to Puget Sound. Ad- ditional Fish Commissioners will join the vessel there. After coaling it will proceed to Alaska. ‘While in Alaskan waters the Albatross will engage in service under the juris- diction of the Fish Commissioners. She will develop the cod-fishing industries as well as all matters pertaining to the de- velopment of the fish food products of this | as yet comparatively unknown region. The Fish Commission officials who will go out on the Albatross are Professor Charles H. Townsend, Major A. B. Alex- ander and R.’B. Miller. Major Alexander will leave the East shortly to join the Albatross at Puget Sound. The other officials are already on board. The vessel is expected to return about October 1. The report that Lieutenant Carter would not go out as executive officer of the vessel on this trip proves correct. He was de- tached and ordered to the Independence. Lieutenant B. 0. Scott, late ordnance of- ficer of the Bennington, fills the position of executive officer. The same official formerly served on a cruise of the Alba- tross, and his return to the vessel appeared to meet with general satisfaction. Ensigns Leigh and Hughes were also or- dered to the vessel and went out as watch officers. Engineer Theiss, who was dis- ;charged from the Marine Hospital a few days ago,filled the position of chief engi- neer. Theiss, it will be remembered, is the man who was so badly scalded on the Monterey about a month ago, when one of the pipes broke and flooded the engine- room. The bravery shown by Theiss does not appear to have been forgotten. He de- served the consideration shown at the hands of the Navy Department officials. As the Albatross slowly passed down the bay it was saluted by all of the vessels in the stream. To-morrow at 2 o’clock services of pe- culiar interest will be held on board the Olympia. It will be the first religious meeting on the cruiser. Through the courtesy of Captain Read it has been ar- ranged to carry out an extensive pro- gramme. Chaplain A. A. McAllister will Asphaltum Company, and located at La Patera. Two men, Edward Birch and Charlie Ellie, were working at the botton | of a 200-foot shaft, where an ore vein had | just been struck, when a pocket of gas, | ignited by candles in their hats, exploded. | Birch, who is a man of 60, was fearfully | burned from hips to neck, and his recovery | is doubtful. Ellis’ injuries are less severe, | and he will probably recover. Both men | are residents of Goleta and have wives and | families. The Den mine has been worked for nearly four years, 50,000 tons of aspbalt having been taken out during that time, and this is the first accident of any kind that has ever occurred there. Yesterday | afternoon Mr. Bell, the superintendent, and Mr. Welty, the foreman, made a thor- ough examination of the different shafts to ascertain if there were any indications of gas. No blame is attached to any one. Tomasette Adjudged Insane. SANTA BARBARA, CarL, May 18.—Al- lessio Tomasette, from the upper county, was to-day examined by physicians and pronounced insane and committed to San Bernardino, where he will be taken by Sheriff Hicks to-morrow. Tomasette is the maniac whose aversion to glass has furnished an interesting study. He flies into a passion at the sight of glass and breaks all that comes within his reach. — DOUBLE TRAGEDY AT JEROME. Charles Ward Crushes the Skull of the Man Who Gave Him a Death Wound. PRESCOTT, Ariz., May 18.—Charles Ward, a well-known mining man, was shot through the body at Jerome this morning. He will probably die. Jake Brown, a locomotive engineer, did the shooting, and he was hit on the head by Ward with a loaded cane after the latter was shot. His skull was crushed, and the doctors say it is impossible for him to live. Both men had been drinking and had been quarreling during the night over an old feud. Sl Escape of a Boise Convict. BOISE, Ivano, May 18.—Joe Morrison, sent up from Bear Lake County for grand larceny for five years, this afternoon made his escape from the Boise penitentiary. Morrison was working in the orchard when he was missed. Warden Campbeil has his best men out scouring the country, butno clew to the convict’s hiding-place has been found. I TR AR BMurder Ends a Houston Feud. BOISE, Ipano, May 18.—P. P. Lawson, member of the Legislature of 1893, shot and killed George Watson, near Houston, last, Wednesday. Some old difficulty was the cause. e Fatal Accident at Ashfork. PRESCOTT, Arrz., May 18.—Fred Reyf, a machinist, was struck by a train at Ash- fork last night and killed. PLUNGED OVER A BRIDGE. Two Employes Fatally Injured in a Trolley-Car Acoldent. MORRISTOWN, Pa., May 18.—A trolley- car on the Citizens’ ‘Scuylkill Valley Rail- road plunged over the bridge crossing the Trenton cut-off branch of the Pennsylvania in Plymouth, fatally injuring two passen~ gers and seriously injuring four others. The fatally injured are Motorman preside, and with Chaplain Thompson of the'Independence convey the greetings of the navy chaplains to the ship’s company, and Rev. T. F. Burnham, superintendent of the Naval Union, will present the salu- tations of the Christian people of Vallejo. The check for $250, kindly donated by the Union Iron Works for the benefit of the Naval Union, arrived to-day and was presented to Superintendent Burnham by- Captain A. 8. Barker of Mare Island, The gift of the.Union Iron Works is highly ap- preciated. The money will be used in erecting a new building, plans and specifi- cations of which will be shortly asked for. CLIMBS LIKE A CAT. An Acrobatic Burglar Who Is Annoying Vallejo Residents. VALLEJO, Car., May 18.—Residents of Vallejo are on their guard against a clever rear-porch worker, who is operating in the city, Charles Ahlm detected the thief last night attempting to enter the residence of Supervisor McCudden. On Wednesday night the same person attempted to gain entrance to the residence of M. G. Win- chell by a rear window. Mrs, Winchell was awakened, and when she gave the alarm the fellow made himself scarce. On Thursday night Samuel Brown’s house was entered and considerable property carried off. The effort to enter the Mc- Cudden residence would undoubtedly have been successful had not Ahlm put in an appearance. The daring work of the thief shows that he has ability as a climber. He scaled the west side of the McCudden residence in the rear like a cat, and when discovered was holding on to a window-sill and in a position to raise the rear window. When detected he jumped ten feet to the ground. Footprints in the yard and the manner in which the work of climbing was done prove conclusively that the burglar was of slim build, light of foot and wears rubber overshoes. WOES OF THE WHISKY TRUST. Filing of a Petition to Foreclose the Property of the Organization. CHICAGO, Iri., May 18.--The famous $1,000,000 bond issue of the whisky trust received anotherairing in the United States court -~ to-day, when Judge Showalter granted the receiver permission to buy the $50,000 held by ex-Directer Freiberg of Cincinnati, the purchase to be at 50 cents on the dollar. Numerous bills have been filed by the reorganization committee of the trust, claiming that ex-President Greenhut and Nelson Morris had sold the. issue to them- selves and their friends at 50 cents, and Freiberg had offered to sel! the $50,000 he hzd purchased at the price he paid. The reorganization : committée to-day asked permission to authorize the purchase by Receiver McNulta, and after lengthy argu- ments the request was granted. Attorney Edwin Walker, representing ex-Director Nelson Morris, then filed the petition of the Central Trust Company of New York, trustee under the $1,000,000 bond issue, to foreclose the property.of the trust. 4 : 2 UNION -MEN DISCHARGED, — Eight Hundred Men Let Out of One Penn- sylvania Plant.

All who re- fused—about 800—were discharged. The Clinton mill also refused to sign the scale and will start Monday with new men, The American Tube and Iron Company of New York to-day advanced the un- skilled men in the Youngstown (Ohio) plant 10 per cent and the skilled men 1234 per cent. The raise is also to extend to the plants of the company at Middleton, | Pa., and in Massachusetts and Indiana. e i S FATHER DUCEY'S TALK. Says Some Rather Plain Things to Work- ing People. NEW YORK, N. Y., May 18.—Father D!xcey, pastor of St. Leo’s, whose troubles with Archbishop Corrigan have been fre- quently before the public, was the princi- pal orator at a celebration to-night by the Bakers’ International Union of the pas- sage of a State law to make bakeries sani- tary and to make a baker’s work ten hours a day. Bpeaking to the workmen Father Ducey said: % ““You have accomplished a great work in favor of all labor by having placed on the statute-books a humane law. Now you must insist on its enforcement. ‘Do it by hanging together. Fight at ‘the polls against every corrupt organization that prostitutes all that is best in the laboring masses in favor of capitalists and trusts. For more than twenty years corrupt momey has influenced elections and ground honest workingmen into the ground. “You can damn the President of the TUnited States. If you are a Republican you can damn Cleveland, and if you are a Democrat you can damn Harrison, and be all” right; but if you damn a railroad president you are an anarchist. “You will be called a socialist, disor- derly, dangerous person if you speak against a capitalist. These men can steal inside the limit of the law, but if you kick you are-guilty of crime because you fight for your homes. Do you tumble to that? Ministers must take a hand now and inter- fere, as the men whom Christ dgied for are having their lives crushed out of them.’ SENSATIONAL CROSS BILL. Gross Fraud Charged in Con- nection With a Bond Issue. Promoters of a Corporation Accused of a Very Clever Manipu- lation. CHICAGO, IrL., May 18.—A sensational cross bill to the bill to foreclose the. prop- erty of the Columbia Straw Paper Com- pany was filed to-day by Otto Gresham, representing a number of owners of thirty- nine paper-mills comprising the concern. The hill charges fraud in connection with a $1,000,000 bond issue of the company for which the Northern Trust Company 18 trustee. It charges that the promoters of the combine never paid any money into the pool; that they received options on the property of the company without consid- eration; that the options were given to one of the promoters without considera- tion, and were in turn sold by him to the other promoters. The document declares that the owners of the various plants were paid largely in stock, and that $2,000,000 worth of stock wasdivided among the promoters. It is also charged that the $1,000,000 bonds were sold by the promoters to themselves. The bill asks that the promoters be compelled 0 pay for the $2,000,000 stock held by them, it being'asserted that such action would place the . company in a comfortable finan~ cial position. It isalleged that the effort to foreclose isa’ scheme to defraud the former owners of the property and leave the profits to the promoters. The defendants named are: W. Stein, Chicago; E.G. Clark, P.

At 11 o’clock General Schofield received the officers of the army temporarily sta- tioned here. This afternoon the general visited Camp Schofield, but only ina pri- vate capacity. He will appear in sgate and review the troops on Monday. e Vest’s Presidential Boom.

THE DIVIDE INCREASED. Lawyer McDougal Argues in Vain to Support the Committee. RESTRICTIONS TO BE REMOVED. Plans May Be Sprung at the Meeting to Depose the Noted Dr. Briggs. PITTSBURG, Pa., May 18.—Assembly control of the seminaries has possession of the Presbyterian General - Assembly, even if the assembly has not possession of the seminaries, which it desires. At the close of the morning session an adjournment was taken until Monday morning, and the debate on the proposed plan of gathering in the seminaries into a close and guarded fold will be resumed. The net result thus far attained has been to divide the assem- bly into two clearly marked parties, and it is judged tha! the line of cleavage is near the numerical center of the body. It seems probable the vote of four to one that was recorded last year will be wiped out in a large part, and the disproportion greatly reduced. The committee which is urging the adoption of the plan providing for closer relations between the assembly and the seminaries saw itself compelled by the strength of the opposition which has de- veloped to import Thomas McDougal of Cincinnati, a member of the committee, to present the legal side of the case. This he did in a speech of an hour and-a quarter, but he labored under a heavy handicap on account of the pamphlet which he recently published attacking the integrity and faithfulness of the boards of home and foreign missions in New York for using funds given for missionary purposes in the erection of a large building on Fifth avenue. The peroration of his speech was devoted to review:ng prejudices created by his pamphlet, and the degree of his suc- cess will only be shown by the final vote. Thereisa plan on foot to secure the adoption of an alternative report replacing that of the committee. It is proposed to recommend that in view of the answers made by the directors of the existing sem- inaries setting forth their unwillingness to make any charter changes, these semina- ries be let alone and that the restrictions that have been devised by the committee be applied only to institutions that may be hereafter chartered. This plan will bave strong backing and will meet with good support. One of the strong objections to the plan of the commiitee on seminary control is that which involves recourse to the civil courts of the settlement of ecclesi- iastical differences. Thus far nothing has been heard of the plans of the deposing of Dr. Briggs, which were said to be under serious considera- tion. But the assembly is young yet and those who were active in the condemnation two years ago are now absent from the scene. It may be these plans are now simply in abeyance to be sprung upon the assembly at a later date. CATHOLIC KNIGHTS. Their Session Concluded With an Election of Officers. OMAHA, Nesr., May 18.—The tenth Supreme Council of the Catholic Knights of America adjourned its session late this afternoon. Mobile, Ala., was selected as the next place of meeting,” Washington being the only competitor.

O’Rourke of Fort Nature Cries for Help Farm, Field and Flower are Bring- ing Blade, Bud and Blossom It is remarkable at this season when Nature everywhere is taking on renewed forms of life, that men and women should be especially afflicted with depressed spirits, weakness, weariness and nervousness. But this condition is Nature’s cry for help, and unless this help is given serious consequences may be the re- sult before the end of the season. The blood is failing to carry to the nerves and organs the nourishment which they require. It must be purified, vitalized and given power to build up and strengthen the system. Hood’s Sarsaparilla was especially prepared to meet this condition and respond to this cry for help. It makes rich, healthy blood, and by doing this it gives strength and vigor to the nerves and muscles and regulates and But Men and Women are Weak, Tired, Nervous All Need a Good Spring Medicine—Take Hood’s Sarsaparilla the Great Blood Purifier.

Alarmed neighbors pinioned the frantic women and jailed her. T g CLEAN-UP OF THE SYNDICATE. Supplying Gold to Unele Sam a Profita- | ble Business. | NEW YQRK, N. Y., May 18.—A Wall- | street news agency says: Evidences | point to a cleaning-up process having been begun by the bond syndicate. A recent re- turn to the members of 40 per cent of their | subscription money was the first step in this direction. It is uncertain when the balance will be returned, but some think it will be in a short time. Calling from the syndicate men of extra gold is another step in the same direction. !
