THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY. JUNE 30, 1893, CAPTURE SANTA CRUL Festive Drummers Take Possession of the City. GIVEN RIGHT OF WAY. The Town and All It Contains Surrendered to the Invaders. EFFEY'S HAPPY GREETING. Requests the Visitors to Take Any- thing He May Have Forgotten to Turn Over to Them. SANTA CRUZ, Car, June 29.—The commercial travelers’ special excursion train had the right of way on the broad- gauge to-day and ran from San Francisco to Santa Cruz in three hours and ten minutes. The travelers and their companions, numbering altogether 150, did not permit the speed of the train to check the current of hilarity. On muslin banners stretched the length of the car were such mottoes as “You can josh us this time,” “We are out for pleasure and not for business,’”” “Santa Cruz is O K, and so are we, at times,” “Wat-er carnival we will have at Santa Cruz,” “When we are gone write us if your time will permit” and “Draw on us ‘at sight and we will remit—our thanks.” The car decorations were inspired by “Billy’” Bernheim and Sig Heller. Colonel W. H. Menton of the Southern Pacific had' the excursion in charge and felt elated when he saw the Monterey ex- cursion sidetracked to give him room to run fast. When the trainarrived at Santa Cruzthe travelers filed out. The landau “with four blacks” and other vehicles conveyed the Jadies to the Ocean House. The men marched with the Hastings band, Mayor Effey and Director R. H. Davis leading the column. From the balcony of the Pacific Ocean House the Mayor welcomed the tourists in a happy speech. Said he: My friends, I have been scheduled, accord- ingto programme, to make an address of wel- come, and have been wondering all the way down on the train what Iam here for. A wel- come of Santa Crnz to the commercial travel- ers seems to me superfluous. We know youall 8o well, end you know us sll, it seems alto- gether like seme of our own boys coming home, €0 there is nothing left tosay but “come inand make yourselves at home.” These are the reasons why some of us do not like to see you here atall: Youcome down here during the off season and work off on usall the old-time chestnuts you have heard on the road; you take all our money in the way of orders that we don’t like to give, and win all the pretty girls of the town away from some Gallagher, J.

SANTA CRUZ, CaL., June 29.—There was a large congregation at the last even- ing session of the Baptist Association at | Twin Lakes. The audience was addressed by Rev. J. Sunderlaud, district secretary of the Missionary Union, who gave an ac- count of the state of mission work in the different countries of the world. Rev. D. H. Drake, a returned missionary from India, spoke on *'The Present Condition of the Telugu Field.” Rev. C. 8. Spurgeon Medhurst, formerly & missionary in China, gave an address, and the service closed with a t4lk by Rev. Henry Varley of Lon- don. The following are the officers of the con- vention for the ensuing year: President, Rev. F. M. Hill of East Oakland; corre- sponding secretary, Rev. W. H. Latour- ette of East Oakland; recording secrétary, 0. C. Pope of San Francisco; treasurer, C. F. Baker of Oakland. ‘Phe morning session was devoted en- tirely to the consideration of Sunday- of us that have aspirations in that direction. In fact, your worthy president, now at my right, is the chief offender in that way, in having taken away from us for good one of the fairest blossoms of Santa Cruz. These are some of the reasons why we don’t care to see you in Santa Cruz, And yet,with all yourfaults, if you have any, we love you still. Evan with the “still” some f s ny buve brought With us. To the casual observer the crummer'slife is always a happy one, and one continual round of pleasure. But to those who have traveled from the hotsandsof Alaska to the frigidshores of Patagonia; who have faced death in the a halls of our leading hotels and walked unblanched cheeks to the railroad lunch counter—those of you who understand all these and kindred vicissitudes know that tourist life is not a. happy one; and knowiag this and not unmindful, further, of the fact that you are all here on pleasure bent and not for the pur- pose of working off chestnuts on us or “pulling our legs” for an order, we extend the glad hand and open heart of welcome, and hope that your short stay may be pleasant to you in all re- spects, as I feel sure it will be to the citizens of the City of the Holy Cross. I haveonly to add that the city is yours. If 1should inedvertently have omitted this little formelity, I know you would take it anyway, ena if you heppen to see anything you want that I have not mentioned, just ask for itor work your hypnotic power oo us and you will get it just the same. Speaking on behalf of our people, I can only say that we are more pleased to have you with us than sny feeble efforts of mine can convey, and we hope that you will return to your homes and labors with a sincere conviction that your stay has been & pleasant one. The Mayor's speech was hailed with tumultaous applause by the audience. In response W. J. Barrett, president of the association, said: Honorable Mayor and Citizens of Santa Cruz— With your characteristic generosity you have seen fit to bestow an invitation upon the mem- bers of the Pacific Coast Commercial Travelers' Association to partake of that hospitality which has made Santa Cruz famous. Commu- nities have distinctive traits as individuals, and of the features of Santa Cruz none is more prominent than hospitality. President Barrett paid’a tribute to the enterprise of Santa Cruz, saying that in this respect it was one of the foremost cities on the Pacific Coast. He also spoke of the natural charmsof the city, men- tioning that the commercial travelers, knowing every section of the country, are a recommendation to any place they select for boliday-making. He returned thanks to the citizens and also thanked the South- ern Pacific’ Railroad for courtesies ex- tended. “I would like also,” said President Bar- rett, “to express a feeling of friendship which the association entertains for the San Francisco CarL. We regard it as the foremost and most enterprising journal on the Pacific Coast.” The sentiment called forth applause. Three cheers for the CALL were proposed, and the vast audience responded with three rousing hurrahs. At9o'clock the travelers had the town and the town donkey, and were holding both in good style. The event of the night was the ball ‘in honor of the commercial tourists at the Ocean House. The decora- tions were elaborate and beautiful. Among the travelers and others attend- ing are: Sanford E. Seller, R. M. McNamars, Thomas ¥. Mullin, W. F. Hobson, R.W. Rupee, A. Wi braith and wife, John Sroup, J. J. Dunn, E. M. Loser, Frederick Cox, J. H. Rohr, A. D. Willis, Jaryis Smith, L. N.

The aadresses were all fol- lowed by warm discussions. ‘“Responsi- bility of the Teacher in the Sunday-school” was read by the recording secretary of the convention, O. C. Pope of San Francisco. It was written by Professor J. M. Davis of Oakland, and urged that Sunday-school teachers should be punctual, regular in at- tendance, and should teach the pupils to use their Bible freely, It declared thatthe teachers may be responsible for the loss of the scholar’s soul. Suggestions were given by Mrs. J. 8. Eastwood of Fresno on “How to Hold the Pupil.” An address was given by Rev. H. E. Adams, a missionary in Humboeldt and Mendocino counties. Mr. Adams hasbeen working among the lumber camps, and has distributed 16,000 religious papers and tracts and 5000 pictures. He is to make a trip through the two counties next month. Thirty-one were baptized from this field last year. The afternoon session was the com- mencement of the annual convention of the Baptist Young People’s Union of Cen- tral and Northern California. It opened at 20’clock with a praise service led by D.J. Davis of Sacramento. A splendid paper on “Our Aim” was read by Miss Hattie Hoyt of Banta Rosa. An open par- liament was then held and the methods of the union were discussed. A paper on ““Our Forces’ was read by Frank Wells of Ban Jose. The evening session opened with a praise ‘service led by D. J. Davis af Sacramento, followed by the reports of the officers of the union. A SAN BERNARDINO HEIR, L. J. Tingleys to Share Iin the Millions of the Maryball Estate. Claims Dating Back Over a Century Ordered Pald by the Gov- ernment. SAN BERNARDINO, OAL., June 29.— L. J. Tingleys of Colton received word this morning that he is heir to one-seventh of the many millions in the Maryball estate in Philadelphia, if the papers are correct, and $500,000 is ready to be paid to the heirs. This money comes from damages during the French war. Congress ordered the money paid over. Besides this, the estate has 200 acres in Philadelphia, used by the Government the past hundred years; 500 lots in Washington City, and 50,000 acres of fine farming land in the Tigris Valley in Virginia. ,Tingleys is a randson of Maryball, who died at his ome in Ohio. He came to Ohio from Kansas after losing all his property, five dwelliogs, in the freshet in the Ophla River in 1882. He moved to Kansas, then to Nebraska, and came to Colton three years ago. He is 82 years old, and has no children but an adopted daughter, the wife of T. D. Hamilton, Colton’s City Attorney. TBE TOLL-ROAD WAR. Supereisors Enjoined From Enforoing e Rate-Reducing Order, SAN BERNARDINO, CAL., June 29— Judge Campbell issued an injunction in the case of the Arrowhead Toll-road Com- pany vs. the County Board of Supervisors this afternoon restraining the enforcement of an order passed on June 3 reducing tolls and ordering the upper tollgate opened. The company claims the road cost $38,360 1 construction expenses last year. The cost of maintenance and operation was $2474 and the receipts $980. The Civil Code, section 514, entitles the company to 10 per cent over the cost of operating. The al- le effect of the order of June 3 was to reduce the toll and increase the running expenses. This cannot be done contrary to law. There was a bitter fight between | steadily at work repairing the damaged the company and the settlers for months.

THREE BUILDINGS LOST. Complete Destruction of the Plant Is Narrowly Averted. CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS. A Spark From a Tinner's Stove Starts the Disastrous Con- flagration. PINOLE, CaL., June 29.—The California Powder Works’ plant at Hercules, which was blown up on May 21 last, when four- teen lives were lost, narrowly escaped destruction by fire this afternoon, and was damaged to the extent of $15.000 by the devouring element. Ever since the dreadful explosion which sent so many employes to eternity a force of between 300 and 400 men has been buildings and erecting new ones in place of those that were blown from the face of the earth. The plant was to have started with a full working force on Monday morn- ing, and the carpenters and other artisans were working like Trojans to finish their jobs by nightfall. The conflagration started at 2 o’elock in the niter-house, and seems to have been the direct result of carelessness on the part of some employe. The tinners, who were on the roof putting on a tin sheathing, car- ried their stoves to the place where they were working, and a spark from one of these started the fire among the rafters. It had gained considerable headway before it was discovered, and aided by the high wind ‘which was blowing off the bay, spread with great rapidity. The superintendent called the men from all parts of the works to aid in sup- pressin g the blaze, but in spite of their ef- forts the fire soon spread to the drying house and big concrete warehouse, where 500 tons of nitre was stored. At this time, an hour after the fire started, it seemed as tnough the works were doomed, as the wind was driving the flames toward other buildings, and a rush was made for the acid house to save the three platinums which cost §50,000 each. Soon after they had been removed, however, the breeze suddenly shifted and the fire-fighters went to work with renewed zeal, with the re- sult that the fire was soon under control. The niter and drying houses were tota lly destroyed, while the warehouse was dam- aged to the extent of several thousand dollars. ‘When the warehouse began to burn the dense clouds of smoke that arose and the loud explosions which followed each other in rapid succession as the water fell on the niter frightened those within sight of the works into the belief that another terrible explosion was about to occur and within a few minutes the scene was almost beyond description. Distracted women who feared for their husbands and sons rushed about bewailing their lots, and one woman fainted from joy as she saw her husband fighting the fire, but safe and unharmed. The Chinese, about 200 of whom are em- ployed at the works, did not wait for de- velopments after the fire started, but mindful of the fate which overtook nine of their countrymen in the recent ex- plosion, gathered their few belongings and fairly flew for places of safety. Many did not stop short of a mile or two from the burning buildings and were with much difficulty coaxed back after the flames had been subdued. The fire caused much excitement at San Pablo and Pinole and in the surrounding country and before it was extinguished hundreds of curious people drawn by the smoke and smothered explosions had gathered at a safe distance to watch opera- tions. The burning of the three houses and the other damage caused by the fire will put back the opening of the works from three weeks to a month. This delay, with the $15,000 or more loss on the buildings, will make the fire quite an expensive affair to the California Powder Company. It is said that the tinners were warned not to take their stoves on top of the build- ings, as a fire was likely to be started, but they disobeyed instructions. The work of reconstructing the buildings, which were fully insured, will be begun at once and pushed to a speeay conclusion. SANTA ROSA WOMEN WIN. Elect One of Their Sex a Member of the School Board. Some Lively Campalgn Work Done by the Falr Politiclans for Their Ticket. SANTA ROSA, CAL., June 29.—The elec- tion for two Bchool Trustees for Banta Rosa came off to-day. There was unusual excitement, owing to the fact tha: two prominent ladies were in the field against the two gentlemen who were candidates for re-election. Many ladies were out during the day electioneering for the candidates of their own sex, some because of their personal friendship for the candidates, and some for the sake of the principle involved and desire to see woman in larger control of educational matters. Many men were also in the field early and late working for the male candidates, Some of them worked because of pérsonal friendship, and some because of their pro- nounced antivathy to what they termed ‘“petticoat government.” Buggies and carriages were flying over town from early morning to sunset carrying voters to and from the polling -booth at the High School house. The excitement ran high after sundown and numerous bets were made on the win- ning candidates. At 10 o’clock the vote was announced as follows: George Hall 464, Mrs, Thomas J. Geary 443, J. F. Kins- low 440, Mrs. Eva Krench 417. Tetal, 1764. George Hall and Mrs. Geary are there- fore elected trustees of the Humboldt schools for two years.

A Continuance In the Barron Case at San Jose—Bandit Sprout Identifled. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 29.—The body of Pasquel Lorrel, a Mexican, was found hanging to the limb of a tree near Los Gatos this morning by two little girls who were gathering blackberries. The children were badly frightened by their ghastly dis- covery, and notified Jersy O'Donnell, who was in the vicinity. O’Donnell immediately came to town and informed the authorities, and in a few minutes hundreds of people had gathered about the scene of the suicide. The Coroner’s office was notified of the case, and Coroner Secord, who is ill, directed Justice of the Beace Beggs to hold an inquest. The suicide was about 30 years of age, and had lived in the mountains near Los Gatos for some time. He had been ill, and facts developed at the inquest proved that it was a case of premeditated suicide, caused by despondency. Barron Case Continued.

MEN FOR THE CRUISERS, One Thousand Seamen to Be Enlisted After the lIst of July. The Olymplia to Remaln atSan Fran- clsco to Take on New Re- crults. VALLEJO, OAvL.,, June 29.—On July 1 the Navy Department will be in a position, owing to an act passed by the last Con- gress, to augment the number of enlisted men in the navy by 1000. This is a very small number under the circumstances, but better than no increase. Both on this and the Atlantic Coast many useful ves- sels have been tied up for several months, and are so still, because no crews are avail- able for them and none could be shipped. Of the 1000 increase about 700 will be ab- sorbed by Eastern stations, leaving only 300 for the West. The receiving ships at the navy-yards are the regular places where men are ship- ped, but in emergencies, recruiting offices are opened in adjacent cities, and even on board ships in different ports. Such a contingency now arises on the Olympia. The department has her under orders to HEN/AREYOUWEAK?

SxomOMISH, Wash., March 5, 1893. DR. A. T. SANDEN- EAR Sik: I purchased one of your strongest Electric Belts September 12, 1892. T was so far gone with spermatorrheea and ‘weakness that T had no ambition for anything that ‘was going on around me. I could think of nothing but my disease. 1 was afflicted for ten years, and am satisfied that if I had not zot your Belt I would prepare for & China cruise, which will ex-. ceed three years at least, and it is not customary tosend out men on such vessels who are short-term men, or men having less than three years to serve. Some fifty such were among the Olympia’s crew which had been made up in anticipation of Honelulu duty. When orders for the Orient were issued, these men were im- mediately transferred to the receiving ship Independence. This made quite a hole in the crew which she carries, and efforts were put forth by the Independence people to secure enlistments. These come slowly here, however, be- cause the modern navy calls for something more than mere sailors, as the old ships did. Nowadays a battle-ship’s crew is a small navy-yard with men of many trades, a few only of the ideal *‘sailor men” being found on board. Desirable sea mechanics in good numbers are procurable in large seaboard cities, and this fact will be util- ized to fill the complement of the Olym- pia’s crew. The department has authorized Captain Reed to delay at San Francisco on his re- turn from the trial trip and enlist men at that point who may present themselves and prove on examination to be qualified physically and mechanically for existing vacancies. Fifteen naval cadets recently graduated from Annapolis Academy are on their way to Mare Island to report for duty on the Olympia and Philadelphia. Three patients have arriyed at the Naval Hospital at Mare Island from Philadel- phia. Frank Frahm died last night from the effects of injuries sustained by a fall in the stone dock Thursday. . Coroner Trull held an inquest and a verdict of accidental death ‘was rendered. J.T. Wise has been appointed appren- tice in the boatshop by Secretary Herbert. g Errington Held for Murder., Los ANGELES, CAL., June 29.—J, B. Er- rington, who shot Herbert E.
