How Fruit Can Be Sold East Without Unprofitable Competition. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 14.—Anent the fruit-auction war the following propo- sition has been submitted by Presi- dent Weinstock of the California Fruit Growers’ and Shippers’ Association to Manager Fairbanks of the National Fruit Association: The growers and shippers cHntinue to ehip over the Erie and the West Shore roads to New York as now; that each continue to employ their respective receivers and auctioneers, but that all receivers, shippers and auctioneers, with the consent of the West Bhore and Erie Railroad Companies agree to alternate the sales in the auction rooms on the respec- tive docks. In other words, on Mondays, Wednes- days and Fridays of each week the sale shall take place on the West Shore pier; Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays the sale shall be held on the Erie pier, the buyers examining the fruit on both piers before the hour of sale. ‘While this will not bring all the fruit under one roof, it will at least bring all the auctioneers under one roof. The members of the association are of course entitled to an even rotation of sales on the various ays. —_—— WANTED IN SANTA ROSA. A Traveling Upholsterer Disappears With a Borrowed Horse. SANTA ROSA, Car., July 14,—The Sher- {ff’s office would like to know the where- abouts of a Frenchman named Lafayette Milleite. Millette is wanted for the alieged gtealing of a horse, the property of James ‘Ward, a Forestville rancher. Millette isa traveliug upholsterer, who runs through the country fixing mat- tresses, lounges and upholstered furniture. He came to Ward’s on Saturday, sayicg that hi§ horse had died from lockjaw and he wanted to buy another one. During the course of conversation Millette in- formed Ward that he was acquainted with Ward’s folks in the northern part of the State. After some conversation he asked about a horse. Ward had a horse for sale and offered to sell it to Millette for $40. Mill- ettte agreed to the price but wanted to use the borse on Saturday, claiming that he had his wagon and kit of tools at Windsor, and promising to pay the price asked on his return, ‘Ward agreed to this, and the man went off leading thg horse, an animal weighing about 1150 pounds.

The Outlook for the Present Year Much Better Than for That Passed. SAN JOSE, Cav., July 14.—Colonel Philo Hersey, president of the County Fruit Ex- change, yesterday in an interview sald: *‘Extensive sales of apricots for canning have been made recently for from §$27 50 to $35 per ton, according to size and quality. For drying purposes from $27 50 to $30 have been cffered. “No quotations have yet been made for peaches, A number of large sales have been made, but the figures have not been made public. One sale made during the past week involved not less than 1000 pounds.” The second bulletin of the Santa Clara County Fruit Exchange, issued July 11, has the following on crop prospectst “The outlook for 1895 is much better than it was for 1894 We believe the market will be more active and confident. Sales can be made more promptly, and prices, while not high, will be firmer and less fluctuating. “Apricots will be very scarce asa dried product. Good judges estimate the output of the State at only one-fourth of that of last year. We believe this estimate cor- rect. Canners have bought very freely. The prices paid have tempted those who usually dry to sell green. “The peach product will be about one- fourth less than 'last season, as the late varieties in many places are very light and frost bas injured others. While apricots green have sold from $30 to $55, the price of peaches has not been established, but will vary from $16 to $25, according to quality and kind. “‘Prunes are the same in quantity as last year, and if we can be spared the hot wave of last August it is thought they will av- erage one size larger. This, however, can- not be determined at this early date. As the French are reported 20,000,000 pounds short of last year, itis exvected that our product will all be required, and if the usual eonditions of trade are recog- nized, we shall hope to obtain a living rice for our product and to have a stead; Trade and & healthy consumptive demand. Offers of $25 have been made for green runes, but we have hesrd of no sales. ghe associations are prepered to do good and prompt work, and it will be for the in- terest of the fruit industry generally to give them our complete and hearty sup- ort. ¥ “The Exchange, with increased facilities for combining and grading, expects to overcome the delay cansed by the number- less individual lots which it became neces- sary to consign and await the action of the far off commission house. Prompt bnsi- ness methods will be used and ready re- turns made to the contributor.” BICYOLE HANDICAP. J. Wing Wins the Seventh of the Five- Maile Trophy Races.

The fire started in a room used asa refair and finishing shop. The room was filled with paints, oils and varnishes, and the fire is supposed to have resulted from spontaneous combustion.

He Was One of Califor- nia’s Most Noted Pioneers. PASSED AWAY AT NIGHT. The End Came at His Daugh- ter’s Home at Arlington Heights. A POWER IN THE EARLY DAYS. One of the Heirs to a Fifty Million Dollar Estate in Ger- many. FRESNO, Caxr., July 14.— Cornelius Yager, better known as Father Yager, one of the most noted of California’s pioneers, died here late last night. ‘When he passed away he was lying at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sarah E. Caldwell, at Arlington Heights, in the suburbs of the city. He was attended by his grandson, Dr. E. E. Brown of Selma, and by Dr. J. L. Maupin of this city. The decline began last Friday. The cause was a complication of diseases, of which diabetes was one, buts failure of the vital organs from age bad much to do with the pioneer’s death. With wonderful tenacity the old man has clung to life. Since Friday night he has been at death’s door, and his physicians expected that every minute would be his last. Father Yager was born in Kentucky in 1811. His ancestors were German, but for many years had lived in this country. They took a prominent partin the strug- gle of the colonies for liberty. Nicholas Yager, great-grandfather of Cornelius Yager, went into Kentucky when it was a part of Virginia and was the first white man in that section of the country. He patented a large tract of land there. On his return to Virginia he sent. the papers showing his title to the land by another party and he himself undertook to find a shorter route across the country. He was taken prisoner by the Indians, his body was stuck full of pine splinters and Le was burned to death. The papers were saved and the family of the murdered man obtained possession of the rich lands. Father Yager was a true representative of the illustrious family. He married Miss Susan Frances Berry in 1338 andZsettled in Missouri, near the present eity of Inde- pendence. Seven children were born and four are now living, Frank, John G., Sarah and Mary. Mrs. Yager died in 1849 and 8 year later Father Yager came across the plains to California, settling at Mountain View, Santa Clara County. For some years he was County Clerk of Contra Costa County and later lived in San Joa- quin, Santa Clara, Tulare and Fresno counties. 1t was as 3 minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church that he was most widely known during the great gold ex- citement. His magnificent carriage and height made him a marked figure, while his wonderful constitution detied the ex- posure to which he was constantly sub- jected. He spent a large part of his time riding over the hills on missionary trips. The rough miners everywhere reverenced the saintly old man, and his influence for law and right was almost unbounded. Unlike others who traveled from camp to camp, he needed no protection. He was welcomed at every digging, and his sim- ple, honest way of preaching won the love of many of the lawless miners. The moun- tain preacher was associated with the noted Bishop Monogue, and for years they worked in the camps for the cause of the church. ‘When an o/d man Father Yager learned that he was one of the heirs of an estate in Germany, valued at $50,000,000. The money was lefs by some of his relatives, and now lies in the Bank of Hamburg awaiting set- tlement. Father Yager’s elaim has been proved up. Atno time in his life was he a wealthy man. Father Yager was a member of Fresno Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and of Trigo bbsphr, Royal Arch Masons. Th whole community mourns the death of this noble man, WORK AT MARE ISLAND, The Monadnock Waiting for the Arrival of Her Steel Rifles. New Flans Being Drafted for the Widening of the Big Stone Dock. VALLEJO, Car., July 14.—~The new monitor Monadnock has been hauled up under the big shears. This is partly to make room in the vicinity of the iron-plat- ing shop and stone dock for the Adams and partly as a preparation for the arrival of the four 10-inch steel rifles, two of which go into each turret. Thesa guns are of particularly fine workmanship and are as fine as the Washington navy yard has yet turned out. There is still much to be done on the monitor, but it would not take long to finish it up if the yard people could get the guns, The top armor of the turrets has been lying here a long time, as has also the hy- draulic and electrical apparatus which will operate the guns; but things are at a standstill awaiting their arrival. The rifles will have to be lifted by the shears into po- sition in the turrets, and suspended there until the hydraulic pumps, cushions, etc., are adjusted and tested. A complicated system of electric lights, signals, tele- phones and firing batteries then remain to be run connecting the conning tower and turrets. Should the Swatura be selected by Gov- ernor Budd as the Naval Reserve vessel it will be necessary to build her a complete set of boats. This is another reason why some think the Governor will find her selection too expensive. The boatshop has the lines of her old boats and ooul‘:l et them out quickly if necessary. An inquiry from the Mare Island au- thorities has developed the fact that the plans for the widering of the stone dock entrance have not been completed yet. From an officer it is learned that the de- partment had plans for this work some time ago. They contemplated the broad- ening of the entrance to a width to accom- modate the Iowa of our navy, but lately England and other countries bave been launching vessels of still greater beam and thioking it possible that we may build some of like gimanu[ons, the Washington authorities have concluded t0 have new plans firepnred. Naval draughtsmen are at work on them. i Quite a number of the Philadelphia’s crew have been discharged, having served out their three years. M’ost of them are Eastern men, and consequently will be taken home at Government expense via Pagama, VALLEJOITES ROBBED. Their Misfortune Due to Lack of Proper Caution. VALLEJO, Ciw, July 14.—Two Val- lejoites had rather an unpleasant ex- perience an evening or two since, but they have only their own lack of caution to blame for it. They started about 9 o’clock to walk over to Vallejo from Benicia, seven miles east of here. The road is a lonesome one in some places, and when a mile or so out- side of Benicia the two were joined by a third man, who asked permission to walk over with them. This being granted, the: stranger pro- duced a bottle of whisky and_invited the two to have a drink, which they did. One of the original two soon complained of drowsiness coming over him, and the two companions were given another drink. This fixed' them, and when they awoke they were lying by the roadside. The strnniexhld disappeared, likewise all the valuables from their pockets. P T SANTA BARBARA MINERAL LAND, Suit Brought to Settle Conflicting Cluims t0 @ Yaluable Tract. SANTA BARBARA, Cavn., July 14.—7J. R. Hill yesterday brought suit against Thomas R. Moore to obtain recognition of certain rights he claims to a mineral dis- covery made by him on land belonging to Hiram C. Pierce, lying near the San Mar- cos tollroad, known as Rancho de la Puri- ficacion, and an option acquired upon this ranch by Moore acting upon his advice. Hill claims that last winter he discov- ered a valuable gold-bearing ledge on Pierce’s ranch and communicated this dis- covery to Moore, who at his instiga- tion paid $300 for the option on the said ranch, anthorizing the pur- chase of a portion of it at $55,000. In ful- fillment of the agreement Moore mace over to him a half-interest in this option, but two months later, when the option expired and another was taken, Moore kept-the whole to himself, and Hill asserts ge has now transferred his interest in the option, together with the information wncemi&g theE%old ledge, to J. D. Richards and W. . . dy, thus doubly violating his com- pact. Hunting & Mountain Lion. SANTA BARBARA, CAL., July 14—A large mountain lion has been seen several times lately in the hills back of the Ter- races, a beautiful place belonging to Eaton on the Montecito. A party of hunt- ers is scouring the hills and canyons for the anfmal. The place where it was seen is close b; the homes of Hugh D. Vail Jr., Henry C. Stoddard, Frank Gallagher, Kinton Stev- ens and I. C. Waterman. The latter is the young millionaire from Philadelphia. Work on the Coast Railroad. SANTA BARBARA, CaL.—Gradestakes have been set on the coast extension of the railroad several miles below El Capitan This brings the work within a few miles of Elwood, the present terminus, north from Santa Barbara. Surveyorsare camped at El Capitan. The great depth at which the caissons must be sunk for the pier foundation at the mouth of the Santa Ynez River would re- uire 1,000,000 brick for the portion of the work under water. On this account stone or concrete may be employed. The great local estion of the day is_still whether the réad will pass through Lom- poc. ORDERS FOR THE OLYMPIA To Relieve the Flagship Balti- more on the Asiatic Station. by Far the Flnest in the Chinese Waters. It Wil Be Crulser WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14.—The Navy Department has issued orders for departure of the Olympia from 8an Fran- cisco to relieve the flagship Baltimore on the Asiatic station by the middle of August, the latter returning home after an ab- sence of over two years for necessary re- pairs to hull and machinery. Admiral Carpenter has protested against the with- drawal of the Baltimore, and believes that the station should be fncreased by the addition of some other vessels. The Baltimore, however, has been abroad since the naval review, and the terms of many of her men have expired and they wish to return home. The Olympia will undoubtedly be the finest flagship ever seen in Chinese waters. No warship of Great Britain or Russia, it is claimed, ever attached to the station equals the Olympia, either in speed or general efficiency. Of the cruiser type, she is admitted by all naval experts to be ahead of anything of her class, and will prove the most powerful flagship the United Btates has been represented by in Chinese waters. Before the close of the summer s is ex- pected than one, and possibly two, of the vessels on the station will be ordered home for overhauling. The Petrel has been on the station for & number of years, and will come to San Francisco for a few months, while the Con- cord is also slated, 1t is said, for home waters again. 1t is not the purpose, how- ever, of %he Navy Department to decrease the strength of the fleet, in China, as it is believed that affairs in that part of the world will continue to remain in an unset- tled state for a number of years yet. The statement that China will soon begin a reorganization of her navy is accepted here an indication that affairs in Eoth China and Japan will bear close watching. == Olose observers of the situation contend {Bat is will not be man years before China will attempt to regain her lost laurels and that her first ste this end will bein the rehabilitation of her navy. Three gunboats intended for this station are now building at Newport News and when commissioned will be immediately assigned to this duty, The Baltimore's return will be followed by her assignment to the Pacific station for the relief of the Philadelphia as flagship. The latter ves- ;e} isd now undergoing repairs at Mare sland, S Aoty STRUCK BY A TRAIN, OGDEN, Urx, July 14—A Union Pa- cific passenger train struck a team and covered wagon last night, breaking the ‘wagon, killing the horses and badly injur- ing the three occupants of the Tagon, The accident happened at the railwa; crossing near the corner of North Secon and Fourth West streets. The injured men were immediately bronght to Ogden and placed in the Union Pacific hospital. The men were Dr. E. A. Wright, aged 80 years; G. M. Pyle, aged 58, and his son, aged 11, all of Buena Vista, Colo., who had started out from home some days ago to seek a new location in the further West. Dr. Wright's injuries are ?nlm severe, but not nmauri}y fatal, unless his age should tell against him. His head and face are & mass of cuts and bruises. Pyle is proprictor of a large livery-stable at_ home, and besides bein{ cut and bruised is injured at the base of the brain and the small of the back. The boy esccaped with only a few bruises on the face. NEWS OF THE COAST. Reckless Daring of a Traver Highway Robber. POWER AT LONG RANGE. The Finding of the Body of a Suicide Clears Up a Mystery. CRATER OF MOUNT TACOMA. The Mountailn - Climbers Report That No Change Has Taken Place In It. TRAVER, CAL, July 14.—Claude Arm- strong, the young man upon whose head there rests a charge of highway robbery, will have another charge to answer to if he ever comes within the arm of the law. Last night about dusk he came through the outskirts of town on horseback and stopped at his father’s residence. Officers Bertkins and Martin were notified, and they proceeded to the house to make the arrest. Armstrong, seeing them approach- ing, sprang on his horse and darted up the road. Bertkins fired at him as he re- treated, and the young man returned the fire, in his excitement seeming to take no thought of the fact that his parents stood close by the officers. Several shots were exchanged, none taking effect. Bertkins started in pursuit, but it being almost dark he concluded to postpone his search until morning. Armstrong is charged with having held up a sheepherder near here three weeks ago. His supposed accomplice, Ben Bar- low, was tried and ncquitte§ of the crime in the Hanford court. SACRAMENT(®’S G6RAND PROJECT. Cars in the Capital Now Being Run With Power From Folsom. SACRAMENTO, CaL., July 14.—To-day hundreds of horsepower are coming steadily into this city from Folsom over the wires of the Sacramento Electric Power and Light Company, from its great water- power plant on the American River. Engineer Blackwell, who is here repre- senting the General Electric Company, which installed the plant, is delighted with the success of the enterprise, which is all that its promoters had hoped for and more too. The lines of wire over which the power is transmitted are twenty-five miles in length; and the loss in transmission is but ten per cent. But one generator is now running, though there are two 1000 horse- power generators in place and two more are to be put in, The electric streetcar system of the city is now being operated by this power, with several hundred horsepower to spare al- ready. Inafew weeks electricity will en- tirely supplant steam in Sacramento, at a saving of more than one-third to those using machinery of any sort, This is the longest trapsmission of electric power in the world. A LETTER CARRIER'S SUICIDE, Solution ‘of the Mystery of Henry B. Humphrey’s Disappearance. SACRAMENTO, CaL., July 14.—The body of Henry B. Humphrey, a mail car- rier of this city, who has been missing for several days, was founda in a mass of shrubbery beyond the north levee in the vicinity of Fourteenth street early this morning. The body was partially decom- posed and hardly recognizable. There was a pistol wound directly over the region of the heart and a small .22-caliber revolver lay beside the corpse. It was evident that Humphrey had taken his own life. A bed of twigs cut from the adjoining bushes had been formed and from the position of the body he had evidently sat ona large rock near the improvised couch, fired the fatal shot and pitched forward upon his face. MOUNT TACOMA’S CRATER. No Change, As Reported Last Winter, Has Taken Place. TACOMA, Wask., July 14.—F. W. Haw- kins and Frank A. Fredericks, members of the Mout Tacoma climbing party, returned in advance of the main body to-day. They reached the summit on the morn- ing of the 10th, and remained until the morning of the 12th, sleeping two nights in the crater. . On the 9th a strong northeast wind blew smoke from Eastern Washington so as to obscure the view of the other peaks. Dur- ing the 10th, day signals were to be made. Mounts Adams, Hood and St. Helens could be occasionally seen. The heliograph was flashed at Mount Adams several hours, but no reply was received. An attempt was made to send car- rier-pigeons from the summit, but they re- fused to fly. This was the first party this year to reach the summit. Regarding last winter's story that part of the peak had dropped out of sight. the party says there is no truth in it. The snow about the crater has been depressed about a hundred feet below last year's level, but no other change has taken place. Spanishtown’s Election Contest.
