OUT OF THE LIBERALS Meeting Crushing Defeat in Many of Their Former Strongholds. Opposition Gains Shown in Nearly Every District Where Elections Have Been Held. LONDON, July 15.—The returns received thus far show the election of 149 Conserva- tives, twenty-two Unionists and twenty- five Liberals, four anti-Parnellites and four Parnellites. The total number of seats gained by the Unionists is nineteen. If any further proof of the change of opinion of the constituencies is wanted, it was furnished to-day in the districts in which contested elections were Leld. Itdoes not require the gift of prophecy to be able to foretell a disastrous defeat for the Lib- erals. Some of the districts that have heretofore been rabid Liberal strongholds have to-day given Unionist majorities, and the indications are that this will be re- eated in many districts it gre et y where elections Contested elections were held to-day in the fo]lowingwdistricls, with these results: Hereford—W. 8.

Thelr Object to Reach the Truthin the Most Direct and Con- vincing Manner. CHICAGO, IrL., July 15.—Ex-Congress- man Roswell G. Horr, one of the most | forcible and conclusive orators of the day, | representing the gold standard, will meet | to-morrow night, as a challenge circular states, his opponent, William H. Harvey, | the exponent of the theory of a silver standardat 16 to 1, and author of “Coin’s Financial Schools,” to discuss the mone- tary system of the United States with the purpose to ‘‘reach the truth in the most direct and convincing manner, stripped of all romance and all rhetoric, not upon the public platform, where the excitement of the hour might sway judgment, but with the quietness and calm of deliberate dis- cussion.” The debate will probably last ten days, | beginning at 2 o'clock every day and last- ing two hours and forty minutes, until 140,000 words have been spoken or until one side gives up. No such debate has ever been planned before. Charles H, Aldrich will be the judge for Horr and Judge Henry Miller for Harvey. MENACED BY NEGROES The Lynching of a Murderer Causes an Uprising of Blacks. Troops Ordered Out at Greenvllle, S.C., to Prevent Them From | | Retallating. COLUMBIA, 8. C., July 16.—Johnson, the negro who one week ago murdered ‘l'r:mk Langford at Piedmont, Greenville County, because he told him to put up a pistol he had drawn on Langford’s com- panion, was taken out of the Greenville Jail at 2 o’clock this morning, conveyed a mile out of town and hanged. The jailer refused to give up the keys, but the mob found them in his room. The Sheriff being awakened approached the jail, but was halted by a sentinel, who put | the barrel of a shotgun to his face. A crowd of negroes who were guarding the jail were dispersed by the police. Beingas- sured there was no danger of lynching the jail was not guarded last night. There is great excitement in the town of Greenville to-night. At midnight two military companies have been ordered out. One isat the jail and the other rest- ing on their arms at the armory. The fire engines have steam up and citizens are guarding their homes. This is caused by a threat to lynch Lewis, a white man charged with murdering a negro and con- fined in jail, and by the further dread that the people fear the application of the torch to their houses during the night. The promise of the Greenville authorities to protect the prisoner, Johnson, after having prevented the negroes from doing so is what caused the bitter feeling, partic- ularly as Johnson’s counsel says he has six witnesses to prove that Langford snapped his pistol at Johnson five times before the negro was shot. —_———— SUNK IN JAMES RIVER. The Clyde Steamship Ariel Thought to Have Gone Down. NORFOLK, Va., July 16.—The Clyde line steamship Ariel leaving here at 8 P. M. with some negro excursionists for Petersburg, is reported sunk up the James River. At 2:30 this morning the Ariel had not arrived at Petersburg, and nothing has been heard from her since departing from Norfolk at 8 o’clock. e TS Californians in New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 15.—Cali- fornians registering at the hotels to-aay were: J.Baldwin and R. B. Hine at the Hoffman, H. Babcock at the St. James, A. Krause at the Astor, J. McRobie at the Broadway Central, all of San Francisco; B. F, Coulter Jr. and L. D. Sale of Los Angeles at the Imperial; Sid Lubin of Sacramento and G. Kuhn of S8an Diego. PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Murder of Barber Ullery at the Town of Downey. MONTEREY’S WHITE CITY Preparing the Ground for the Encampment of the Regulars. COURT-MARTIAL AT TUCSON. An Insane Passenger Jumps From a Rapidly Moving Traln and Is Killed. LOS ANGELES, Carn., July 15.—Frank Romer shov and killed B. M. Ullery at Downey, a little after 8 o’clock this morn- ing. Three shots were fired, all entering the right breast in close proximity to the heart. Ullery died almost instantly. Romer would say nothing about the tragedy and would give no reason for his act. He appeared to be cool and self- possessed. Ullery had many friends in town, and they believe his killing was cowardly and unjustifiable. He was a barber and not over 26 years of age. Romer is a laborer and does such work as he can find. The men had some trouble the night before. e e MONTEREY'S ENCAMPMENT. Ground ‘Being Prepared for the Great Sham Battle, MONTEREY, Car., July 15.—Far up in the foothills, near a pretty grove of oak trees, a little white city of tents hassprung up. These are to be the homes of about 800 regular soldiers from the Presidio, who will arrive on Wednesday next. Already there have arrived several troops, who have been busy preparing for this great outing. The soldiers will be in camp for two months, and in that time somelively times will be had. All kinds of amusementsand sports have been arranged, but the biggest event will be the sham battle. For a month past a detachment of privates have been busy clearing the chaparral and mak- ing paths through the woods for the battle. It promises to be the largest and most ex- citing one ever fought near Monterey. Among other characteristics will be the representations of old-time battles and skirmishes that took place in Monterey during the late trouble with Mexico, when General Sherman was in camp at Mon- terey, then the capital of California. The officers will not go into camp; most ofithen e Mot v booked ok the e Monte. Among those already there are: General Schaffner, Colonel Young, Lieu- tenants Beel, Landis, Rutherford, Greene, Khun and Dale. e COURT-MARTIAL AT TUCSON. Three Militia Officers to Be Tried on a Number of Charges. TUCSON, Ariz., July 15.—A court-mar- tial composed of the following officers of the National Guard of Arizona is now sit- ting in Tucson: Major J. A. Black, presid- ing; Captains Ingalls, Mullen, Wickham; Lieutenants Carpenter and Jones; Major R. A. Lewis, judge advocate, assisted by Lieutenant Lavall, United States regular army. Captain Trayer and Lieutenant Riesgo, of Company F, and Lieutenant Hughes of Comgflny N are to be tried. In the Fourth of July procession the bicyclists and the bicycle “horribles’” were assigned to lead the procession. After marching a block Captain Trayer halted Company F and this stopped the procession. Bolonel Martin inquired the cause and Captain Trayer said the company refused to march back of the bicycles. Colonel Martin ordered Lieutenant Hughes, commanding Company D, to ar- rest Captain Trayer. Hughes declined and was ordered to march Company D ahead of Company F. Hughes again declined. The Governor and Adjutant-General of the Territory have ordered Company F disbanded and their accoutrements turned in, and the court-martial is trying the above-named officers on a number of charges. Great interest is manifested all over the Territory in the outcome. ST JUMPED FROM A TRAIN, Sad Fate of a Prominent Memphis Citi- zen Mho Had Become Insane. SACRAMENTO, Car., July 15—J. M. Terzevant, a prominent resident of Mem- phis, Tenn., became violently insane at Cheyenne while en route to this coast. He was placed in charge of Dr. Cleveland of San Francisco. : Last night he escaped from his keeper a short distance this side of Cisco and sprang from the rapidly moving train. As soon as possible a search was instituted. This evening his body was found under Butte Canyon Bridge, where he is sup- posed to have jumped from the train. H?: death must have been instantaneous. The body was discovered by the fireman on the engine of the overland passenger train, known as No. 2. It was taken to Cisco station, where the Coroner will hold an inquest. s geis 2l SONOMA AND MARIN FAIR. Untess the Horsemen Put Up Entrance Money There Will Be No Races. PETALUMA, Cav,, July 15.—The board of directors of the Sonoma and Marin Agri- cultural Association are very much in doubt as to the advisability of holding their annual fair in August. The citizens here readily subscribed $1000 to aid the directors in making the fair this year more successful than ever before. Liberal purses were offered and entries were numerous, but the necessary 3 per cent entrance money was not forthcoming, except in a few cases. As there is nearly $3000 due the society in forfeited entrance money from last year the directors are a little suspicious of the horsemen, and have notified all those making entries to send on their entrance money immediately or the races will be declared off. KEEDDING FIRES. Four Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Prop- erty Destroyed. REDDING, CarL., July 15.—Two fires in the course of twelve hours destroyed $4000/ worth of property here this morning. The first fire broke out in Mrs. Hart’s two-story frame residence on Pine street at 1:20 o'clock and destroyed the building and contents. It was caused by the explosion of a lamp. The loss is $3000 and insur- ance $1700. One roomer had a narrow escape and was compelled to jump from the second-story window. Another fire broke out in a frame resi- dence on Court street, occupied by a family named 8mith. The building and contents were destroyed. Loss $1000; no insurance. The father and mother were away at the time and their several small children were rescued with difficulty. e McLean’s Ex-Wife Leaves Stockton. STOCKTON, CAL., July 15.—Mrs. Jennie Himmelmann, ex-wife of A. A. McLean of San Francisco, who has the custody of the three children for whom the husband was searching here last week upon a warrant for her arrest for contempt of court in San Francisco, last night left by boat for the City with her children. She said she was coming back to Stockton, but took all her effects with her. Funeral of James H., Knowles. PETALUMA, Cavn, July 15—The funeral of James H. Knowles, one of the oldest settlers in this section of the coun- try, occurred yesterday from his home at Canfield Corners, in Blucher Valley. Hundreds of people drcve out to the old settler’d ranch and sorrowfully followed the funeral procession to the cemetery, at the top of a knoll just a few hundred yards in front of the old homestead. e San Diego’s Constable Exonerated. SAN DIEGO, Caxn., July, 15.—Constable Roberts, after his preliminary examination to-day for the killing of Thomas Ruiz at FEucalyptus road, was discharged. The feud was over a bridge claimed by both the county and a rancher, and Ruiz was killed” while defending the rancher’s in- terests. Sy gt Fatal COollision at Fresno. FRESNO, Cavn., July 15— The north- bound train ran iuto a butcher-wagon at 3 o'clock this morning, near the city limits, smashing up the team and fatally injuring August Modenbach, the driver. e isa German, 35 years of age, and recently arrived in this country. —_— LOS ANGELES COUNTERFEITERS. Ormandy and His Entire Family Ar- raigned Before a Commissioner. LOS ANGELES, CaL, July 15—J. H. Ormandy, the man held last week to await the action of the United States District Court for wholesale counterfeiting, his wife, his pretty 17-year-old daughter and his 12-year-old son, constituting the entire family, were arraigned before United States Commissioner Van Dyke this after- noon on a charge of having made and passed counterfeit halves, quarters, dimes and nickels. It was the first time that a whole family has been arraigned before the Commis- sioner and there were many spectators taking in the queer spectacle. Mrs. Ormandy and her daughter were much affected and wept copiously during the examination. On motion of District Attorney Dennis the case against the girl was dismissed. The little boy will not be prosecuted at all. Mrs. Ormandy was not examined. Her case was postponad until to-morrow. It is tge belief of the authorities that Ormandy is alone to blame, and the Gov- ernment does not propose to prosecute those who were easily intimidated by Ormandy into violating the laws. CAMP LEDYARD PASTIMIES The Lads of the Boys’ Brigade Spend a Most Enjoyable Day. A Trip on a Steam Launch and a Drive to the Grove of Blg Trees. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., July 15.—The Boys' Brigade camp is back again to the regular routine of duties. The drilling shoss a marked improvement over last week, and the discipline of the camp is perfect. The boys are keeping up the reputation of be- ing the best behaved set of boys ever in town. Captain Fred Howe was the officer of the day and Lieutenant Ede officer of the guard to-day. At drelslyarsde the brigade was reviewed by State President Ledyard, and the boys did well. To-night at the Sea Beach Hotel parlors a grand reception was tendered the com- missioned officers by Brigadier- General Russell. A large part of the day was devoted to leasure, swimming, boating and fishing ing the chief pastimes. At the camp- grounds ball was enjoyed, and the lads, not to be ontdone by the militia, were en- joying themselves immensely by tossing the smaller lads of the camp in the air with the aid of & blanket. President Ledyard, with a large number of the boys, took a trip on the steam launch on the bay and stopped at Capitola for a few hours. The boys enjoyed the trip immensely. A party of twenty-one passed the day at the big trees, drivin%w the grove through the beautiful San Lo- renzo Canyon. At the grove they had din- ner, and after returning to town went to the natural bridge and took the famous cliff drive. Those in thesmrty were Brig- adier - General Russell and Major - General Woodham and their wives, President Smith, J. M. Case, a party of ladies, and the general’s non-commissioned staff. The band took part to-night in an enter- tainment at the plungebaths, To-morrow night a grand concert will be given at the carnival pavilion, and on Wednesday a baseball game will be played atVeu de I’Eau Athletic Park between the brigade team and the town teamn. Rodriguez Pleads Not Guilty. S8ANTA CRUZ, CaL, July 15.—Joe Rod- riguez was up before Judge McCann in the Superior Court to-day to plead to the charge of having murdered William Ben- son. The motion to set aside the informa- tion on the %ruund that he was not legall committed a magistrate was denied. He then pleaded not guilty. Smant i SEATTLE’'S MURDER MYSTERYX. No Definite Clew to the Slayers of Rancher Stokes. SEATTLE, Wasn., July 15,—The mys- tery surrounding the death of Ransom B. Stokes, the wealthy Sunnyside rancher whose body was found in a brush heap, partly charred, a few days ago, deepens. The authorities seem to have a rather weak case against Charles and Fred Kind- ling, who are under arrest on suspicion of being his murderers. The inquest will probably not determine anything. To-day it was ascertained that Stokes had nearly $2000 on deposit ina local bank. The authorities have also learned - that two watches belonging to Stokes are missing and believe they were ngned in Tacoma, and that the Kindling ys were in that city recently. Clothing belonging to the Kindling boys has been found which bears stains resembling blood, and just now a discussion is going on be- tween the Coroner and the County Com- missioners as to whether an analysis of the clothing stains shall be made. That Stokes has money concealed in his house seems to be certain. He was an eccentric man. When a laborer had fin- ished working for him he would never pay him, but ask him to call the next day when the money would be forthcoming, although Stokes had never visited town in the meantime. He had evidently taken it from its hiding-place. THE CARSON BULLION STEAL. Judge Hawley Refuses to Fine Superin- tendent Adams for Contempt. CARSON, NEv., July 15.—The modified application of John T. Jones was heard before Judge Hawley in the Circuit Court to-day. The application is to have Super- intendent Adams fined for contempt of court for refusing defendants in the mint bullion case permission to examine certain bars of gold and silver bullion to deter- mine the time they were molded. Clarke and United States District Attorney Jones argued against holding Adams for con- tempt, and Torreyson and Coffin ngnred for Plaintiff Jones. Judge Hawley denied the application, but stated that when the case came to trial he would issue a sub- Fena for the bars and allow an inspection n the presence of inspector Mason. This is exactly what the Jones side asked for. \\\\\ \ \ NEW TO-DAY.

MGELS CANP AL A Miner Blown to Pieces by a Blast at the Bottom of a Shaft. His Death Due to His Gross Dis- obedlence of the Rules of the Mine. ANGELS CAMP, CAL., July 15.—A ter- rible accident occurred in the Blair mine near here last night. Two blasts had been set off, but one of them failed to fire. Lazarus Castro and Jose Costa were let down the shaft to againignite the fuse that communicated with the charge that had failea to explode. The rules require that when men are in the bucket =ix bells shall be rung, when the pucket should be raised four feet to show that everything is in order. One bell then means to hoist. ‘When Costa was ready to light the fuse he asked Castro if all was ready, and the latter replied yes. Costa applied the can- dla, which was extinguished by the fuse, but Castro had failed to ring ihe precau- tionary six bells. The bucket had caught on the skid, but when one bell was rung the engineer apprehended that a mistake had been made and attempted to hoist, but the bucket would not move. Costa_realized the danger and sprang for a drift about e!xght feet _above, yelling at his comrade to follow. The latter hesi- tated and the blast went off while he was in the bucket. He was literally torn to riaceu. Although Costa had but one foot n the drift at the time he was uninjured, a8 the force of the flying missiles was spent against the bucket and its human load. If Castro had given the proper signals the fact that the bucket had caught would have been ascertained before the fuse was lighted, and the horrible accident would have been averted. Coroner Pache held an inquest to-day and the jury attributed Castro’s death to his negli ence in not obeying the rules. Castro’s brother, Alexander, is employed in another mine here. The deceased was 48 years of age and a native of Mexico. SERIOUS TROUBLE AVERTED. It Arose From the Mysterious Disappear- ance of Some Money. ANGELS CAMP, Car., July 15.—Dick Raggio, whoresides a couple of miles above Murphy’s, has been in the habit of keeping quite a large sum of money in his house. The Raggio brothers, besides owning the local stage lines, also have the contract for delivering logs to the Utica Company, and Dick drives one of the teams. He had stored $160 in gold and some silver awa 1n his house, although his wife had ad- monished him against such carelessness. ‘When he went to get the money the gold had disappeared, but the silver remained. A young man of this place had been visiting at the house and he was accused of the theft. The boy’s elder brother went up to Raggio’s place with blood in kis eye, intending to compel the latter to retract the charge. Two of Raggio’s relatives got wind of the young man’s intentions and the three arrived at Dick’s house about the same time. As there was no evidence against the lad, the matter was amicably settled and hostilities avoided. The affair hascreated quite a sensation here, as both families are prominent. . A Grand Firemen’s Tournament. ANGELS CAMP, Cairn, July 15—A grand firemen’s tournament will be held here on the 9th ana 10th of September. The companies of all adjoining counties will be invited to participate, and at least $500 will be given in cash prizes and tro- phies. There will probably also be horse- races and otheramusements. On the night of the 9th a fireman’s ball will be given at the park. e Joy for a Week. SAN DIEGO, CAL., July 15.—Paymaster Reynolds of the United States steamship Thetis is here on a week’s leave to see his affianced, Miss Belle Stewart, one of the city’s handsomest young ladies, prominent in amateur theatricals and concerts. PORT TOWISEAD FES The Révenue Launch Black Pup Supposed to Have. Been Capsized. She Has Been Out Four Days ona Run That Usually Takes but Eight Hours. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasg., July 15.— The non-arrival of the United States reve- nue launch Black Pup from Roche Harbor occasions the general belief here that the little vessel has been swamped in the straits. She left Roche Harbor Thursday last, bound for this port, and although the run usually consumes eight hours, the launch has not yet arrived and so far no report of the vessel has been received. Searching parties are now out, but thus far have found no trace of the launch. The vessel is regularly attached to this district to assist customs officersin the suppression of smuggling contraband ium and Chinese from British Columbia. She is under command of Lieutenant Hor- ace B. West, who until recently was first lieutenant of the United States cutter Wol- cott. He was detached from the cutter upon arrival here from San Diego recently, bound for her station at Sitka. A The Black Pup carries also four sailors from the cutter Grant, now in Bering Sea. She has been stationed at Roche Harbor for some years and has been most success- ful in the smuggler chasing service. Two years ago, under command of West, she captured the launch Sibyl with ten contraband Chinese aboard. ~The Sibyl was later confiscated by the Government and is now under special detail, testing coal on the Sound for the Government. If the Black Pup is not reported by day- lisht to-morrow the fleet of searching ves- sels now out under the direction of Captain Frank Tattle will be doubled and a sys- tematic search of all the islands will be made for the vessel or her wreckage.
