EUREKA, CAL., June 29.—Imitating the qualities possessed by the noble Sequoia of retaining its verdure and beauty for a considerable period of time, many of the business houses have already commenced to don their carnival garb. The solid fronts of green, intermingled with the car- nival colors of cardinal and white, make an attractive and pleasing sight. Btrong hopes are entertained of securing a visit from the Olympia or Philadelphia during the carnival time. In an interview with Grand Marshal Cutler both Colonel Mendell and Major Heuer expressed their willingness to vouch to the Government for the safety of the bar and harbor. The only question now is whether they will be in port and available on the carnival dates. On the 9th of July a vaundeville enter- tainment will be given at the Ingomar Theater, under the management of H. D. Cormick of Stanford, for the purpose of adding to the carnival funds. The balloting for Queen has been in progress three days, 5413 votes having been cast as follows: Miss Mabel Scott. Miss Annie Evans, 1,285 Miss Annie Hall 021,107 Miss Ella Matthews..... 885 Miss Alma Haight.

MITCHELL VERSS GOULD The Los Angeles Attorney Has' a Solid Backing in the South. Democratic Leaders Side With Him In Demanding Actlon on Financlal Issues. LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 29.—No event in the local history of the Demo- cratic party has caused as much interest as the controversy between Chairman Gould of the State Central Committee and Delegate John W. Mitchell. Itis the chief topic of conversation in political circles. Some characterize Mitchell as a man of small parts, anxious to bring himself into prominence by the gquarrel with Gould, while others, who know him best, pay a high tribute to his honesty, ability and in- tegrity. His loyalty to the party is un- questioned, and the general opinion is that he has taken proper issue with Gould as to who shall sway the destiny of the party on the coast. The silver question is in such a state that Democrats hesitaie to declare them- selves, or, rather, Democrats in this part of the State, who know not where the Earty stands. Mitchell is the advocate of onest methods, and believing that the party would best serve its interests by placing itself on a definite basis, favors a meeting of the State Central Committee to determine the advisability of calling a convention to declare for or against frees silver. In this he is backed by most of the in- fluential Democrats of this section. Gould seems to evade the question, but the feei- ing is now that he cannot but yield to the demand to call a committee meeting. The sentiment in Southern California is for the free coinndge of silver, and whether Mitchell is selected as the leader of the Southern Democrats or not, the feeling is that such issue should be pushed to a finish. The leader of this iight for a recognition of siver by his party has figured promi- nently in politics since his boyhood. He was born in Lynchburg, Va., November 23, NEWSTOCKTONPLANT A Gun Factory to Be Located in the Flour City. ASK A TRIFLING BONUS. Proposition of the Ostrander Company Likely to Be Accepted. THREE THOUSAND GUNS DAILY. A Splendid Enterprise Attracted by the Fame of the San Joaquin Metropolis. STOCKTON, Carn., June 29.—There is every prospect that Stockton will have a gun factory before long to add to her fame as a manufacturing city. Attorney Charles J. A. Bwift of 8an Franciseo, representing the Ostrander Repeating Gun Company, is in this eity for the purpose of seeing what arrangements can be made for moving a gun plant from Boston to Stoekton. The machinery that the company contem- plates giving to this coast is worth about $80,000 and the factory, as it stands, turn- ing out some 3000 guns daily, employs forty men. This number will be increased t0 150 when established here. Mr. Swift said to-day: “We do not ask for any land or any building. The men employed in the factory will be skilled laborers and a good class of citizens, and a gun plant always enhances the value of property near which it is located. Many fortunes have been made out of the manu- facture of guns, and as we claim to have the best gun in the world, we shall be able to establish a lucrative business wherever we go. It will be a good business to have in any community. San Francisco has stood by and watched all the experiments made in connection with the perfection of the gun and has never offered assistance or encouragement. Now that we have got the Ostrander gun to a perfect state we are independent. “‘We think that if eny community wants to secure such an enterprise as ours it should show its desire in some tangible way. We do not ask much, but we will be put to an expense of from $2500 to $3000 in moving the machinery out from the East and think that any city wanting to have the gun plant established within its limits should stand some of the expense of mov- ing it. We are already negotiating with 0. B. Young of your city with reference to a site and buildings for our factory. “I am going East soon to arrange for moving the machinery out here. Wi think that better results can be accom: plished by having this place for the head: fornia concern. ing after the manuiacture of the gun he has patented.

John W. Daniel, the author of the celebrated law work of *‘Daniel on Negotiable Instruments,”” and the present United States Senator from Virginia, with whom he remained asso- ciated for five years, and from whom, prin- cipally, he acquired his legal education. He attended for a short time the law lec- tures of Professor Minor of the University of Virginia, and was admitted te practice December 7, 1881. Mr. Mitchell was a delegate to_the last Democratic State Convention, and in the cemgalgn that restlted in the election of Budd he took an active part and rendered valuable assistance to his fnfly. He then stumped the State, and his speeches were said to be among the very best anti-elec- tion efforts made in the ‘State in recent Y“m He is one of the most zealous riends and ardent admirers of Governor Budd that the executive has in Southern California. Then came the succession of Mahonism and the Repudiation or Readjuster’s party of Virginia, and as at that time there seemed poor prospects in the Old Domin- ion for soor twigs of the law, Mr. Mitchell accepted a proposition of partnership from a university friend in Houston, Tex., and removed there and racticed his rofession both in ouston and alveston. He remained in Texas about five years, when his only brother, a young artist, contracted phthisis, and on the advice of his physician snd for the benefit of his brother’s health he removed to Southern California in 1887, and has been residing in Los Angeles sin he has built up a s\xbaungt'ial hwe;m%g’, and has become one of the leaders of the party iu this section, saw what possibilitles there were in it. Mr. Wilson, formerly of Springfield, be- came enthusiastic over it and began its manufacture. He became connected with the factory at Boston. When the gun was perfected it became evident to us that as soon as the manufacture is commenced on any large scale the factory cannot handle the whole business. The principal factory ‘we want located on this coast, where the headquarters of the corporation are. Stockton seerus now to be the most enter- prising city on the coast, and we believe that those who will be benefited will show commercial enterprise enough to assist in getting the gun plant from Boston to this coast. “‘Stockton offers many advantages for manufacturing purposes, and if matters can be arranged satisfactorily we will cer- tainly come here,” Mr. Bwift will remain here a short time to see whether the business men will take up the offer of his company, and if they do will then go East to arrange for moving the plant to this coast. As the bonus asked is comparatively insignificant Stockton is already assured of the plant. WORK ON THE NEW ROAD. Grading to Be Commenced in Stockion 2 by July 15. STOCKTON, Oar., June 29.—Work on the Valley road will commence in Stock- ton about the 15th prox. Chief Engineer Btorey said to-day that the road would be begun as soon as the City Council would provide for fixjpg the on the Mtreets el | quarters of the company, which is a Cali-} “Mr. Ostrander is now in the East luok-g in the western part of the city, over which 'the tracks will run. This will be done at once, and Storey thinks actual work will be begun by the 15th. S— KILLED AT SAN RAFAFEL. Little Rosa Morris the Victim of @ Reck- less Driver. SAN RAFAEL, Carn, June 29.—Little Rosa Morris, while playing on the street in front of her home to-day, was run over by a butcher wagon which. was being driven along at a reckless pace. A wheel passed over the child’s head, crushing it and she died soon afterward, Her mother called after the boy who was driving the wagon, but he did not stop, and it is not known who the offender was. The father of the little girl is almost crazed by the misfortune, and is searching the city for the driver, whom he threatens to kill on sight. An Overdose of Morphine. LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 20.—Edward Harrington, formerly a conductor on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, and for a time superjntendent of an eating-house on that line, was brought to the police station m-nifiht charged with being an ordinary drunk. TLaterit was ascertamned he was suffering from strong narcotic poison. The opinion of those who know him is that he took an overdose of morphine to counteract the effects of a debauch. His condition is eritical, and whether he took the poison himself or it was administered by others isnot known. Harrington is still unconscious. MAERA'S OUTLAW TALKS “Jim” Lawson Attributes His Downfall to a Wife’s Du- plicity. Since the Outlaw’s Capture the Woman Has Eloped With An= other Man. FRESNO, CarL.,, June 20.—“Jim"” Law- son, the Madera outlaw, who was captured in Amador County a few days ago and brought to the Fresno jail for safe keep- g, was interviewed last evening. He was shown a Madera pzper, in which an account of the elopement of Lawson’s wife and 8am Daulton was given. Lawson, at considerable length, told the CaLn correspondent of how Daulton was the cause of his downfall. Daulton alienated Mrs, Lawson’s affec- tions from him, Lawson said, and was the cause of his attempt to shoot her at a dance at Belleview last winter. As to the elopement, Lawson said that he did not belleve it, as they had ne occasion to do s0. They are, and have been for some time, living together at bis ranch in the foothills near Cascadel. Lawson became very much exeited as he talked of Daulton. “Yes, my troubles began about a year and a half ago,” said the prisoner. “On every 0Ccasion Danlton would seek wmy wife's company, and this was the cause of the shooting at the dance. Now I tell you qllulton shot first at that dance. I did not | shoot until Daulton had tried to interfere | by taking 2 shot at me.”’ In mentioning the shooting of his child Lawson repeatedly and decidedly saidit was an accident. Lawson is not a bad- ; looking man. He is in poor health, owing to exposure and vigilance im his fear of ursuit. Since his second escape from the adera Jail he worked at different places through the foothills. In places where he was not known he went by the name of “Jim” Johnson. The news of Mrs. Lawson’s elopement with Daulton was eonfirmed to-day. ACCUSED BY HER CRHRILDREN. Sensational Developments in the Vieter Case at Fresno. : FRESNO, OAr., June 29.—The plaintiff’s case in the Vietor divorce trial was finished to-day, and some interesting testimony was furnished by the defense. Several witnesses, both from the northern part of the State, where Vietor and his wife lived, and from_this ceunty, testified that Mrs. Vietor had often talked of her first husband, who is still living, and from whom she has never been divorced. The witnesses also testified of the stormy manner in which the complainant and Vietor lived together. Mrs. Kate Loesche and Edward Vietor, daughter and son of the parties to the suit, both swore that their mother was accus- fomed to getting drunk and abusing their father. Mrs. Loesche said that she found it impossible to get along with her mother. The fight over the $35,000 community property is a hard one. Witnesses from all parts of the Btate and county are in at- tendance. Ran Away From Ione. FRESNO, Car., June 29.—Superintend- ent Bank of the Prescott School of Indus- try at Ione was in Fresno to-day looking after the welfare of a boy named J. E. Carner, who some months age surrepti- tiously left the school and returmed to Fresno County, where he had been sent to the San Quentin prison to serve a term. He came back to Fresno and has ever since been working steadily on a ranch.

The best | varieties, he said, were Papst, Centennial, Van Deman and Stuart., Colonel McDonald of the State Board of Horticulture introduced the subject of Vedalia cardinalis and other scale-destroy- ing insects, including one lately imported, which destroys all varieties of scale, ang o which he has a supply for any one in need of them. Itis becoming more and more apparent, he said, that 1t is not necessary to spray for the destruction of scale, as the imported insects and our own native spe- cies are keeping the pests under control.
