Only Two of the Favorites Who Did Not Disappoint Expectations. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 5.—This, the fourth day of the meeting, was given up to the bangtails, and lovers of the sport turned out in large numbers. For first time since the opening day the sex graced the meeting with their —that is, to any extent—attracted by the gaudy colors and the dapper, dash- ing jockeys. The grand stand was a bower of wealth and loveliness. The d. warm, and in the betting- as an eager, sweltering mass ive humanity, hustling and ch other in an endeavor to “get aboard” at top prices. Five books were doir business, and the betting was by far the heaviest of the meeting, and the smiling bookies came out on top to-day, for three of the five favorites fell ignominious] Richard Havey handled the starter’s flag and barring a couple of tedious delays at the post, caused by over-anxious jock- eys, nothing but praise can be said of his wor “Dan” Tully was his assistant, and he showed himself an adept at the game. The feature of the day’s programme was the Capital City stake, worth $1045 to the winner, one and a sixteenth miles. It was | captured by imp. Midlothian’s bravest | running danghter Arnette, who went to the post at 8 to 1, who laid away second to Installator, the 8 to 5 favorite, who went out and made the running until the last furlong, when she passed him and_won at the end of a length from the second choice, Ferrier, who nipped Installator half a length for the place, under Miller’s per- ive riding. he time made by the winner, 1:463, supersedes Del Norte’s coast record of 1:47, made at the Bay District track. Ferrier | orite in the opening betting at 6 to | receded to twos around post time. allator was slightly cut down, which mitigated against his chances. igh Donathan’s mare ran a re- | able race on all sides to-night nothing is heard but Libertine and Macklin, his colored rider. The great Western sprinter made his California debut to-day in a six furlong handicap, and in the fancy’s mind the Del Mar stake has already been changed to the Libertine stake. Opening at even money he receded in the betting to 214 to 1, but was soon swiped to 1 to 3 at post call. Gaudily bedecked with red, white and blue ribbons the crack miler, with a rec- ord of 1:383;, danced around at the post thirty minutes with his 122 pounds up" be- fore the flag fell, when he sailed tothe | front, and running Grady off his feet the | first part of it was tackled by Vinctor in | the stretch. It looked dubious for him at one time, but when Macklin shook him up with that hurricane style of his he drew away and won by a length in 1 R | Roadrunner, who ran a very creditable race with 8 to 1 against him, was third. | Rico was a 3 to 2 favorite for the opening | dash at six furlongs, but through Mecln- tyre's dilatory tactics was beaten a head on the wire. The two roan brothers, Pat and Tim Murphy, the latter second cheice, beaded the field into the stretch, where Pat retired. Tim was joined later by War- rago, Rico and Lady Jane, and the quar- tet passed the judges heads apart. Lady Jane, a 4 to 1 chance, gained the verdict, with Rico in the place and Warrago third. The second race, a selling sweepstakes for maiden two-year-olds, six furlongs, offered an opportunity for the Mercedes filly, a gracefully moldetl daughter of the Australian sire Idalium, toshow her dainty heels to company. Goingtothe post4 tol, with the well-known red, white and blue colors of A. B. Spreckels up, she led the way and won easily, three lengths in front of k] Primero. The even-money favorite, Torsion, finished absolutely last, with Donahue in the saddie. The last race of the day,a cheap mile selling dash, resulted in the overthrow of the 2 to 5 favorite, Rear Guard. Nebu- chadnezzar, with 5to 1 against him, won easily, running the mile in 1:41}4, while in a hard dnive Ike L, heavily backed, downed the favorite for the place. Six furlongs, selling: purse $400.

SACRAMENTO, CarL., Sept. 5.—Never | in the svorting annals of the State has there been such a universal eathering of the knights of the trigger as confronted the traps in Sacramento this morning. They came from all portions of the State and comprise all the celebrated shoto. The day wound up warmer and with less | wind. The birds were strong flyers, but with the aggregation of talent that lay in wait for them but few escaped. The first event was a ten-bird match with twenty-four entries. Eight men made clean scores, and it was agreed to divide the money on the result of the next shoot which was a fifteen-live-bird match with twenty-one entries. Thisalso resulted in four clean scores. Robinson and Fendner having been entered in the first match and proving suc- cessful again divided the stake of the first | event. The money on the second event | was divided equally among the four. First event, ten-bird (live) match: 1111111111-10 0 1111111111-10 111111111110 10 | 10 | 110 01111-8] 110 - 00111-5 1111111111-10 1111111111-10/ 111111111110 1110 | 11100 | 1111110111— 9 111111111130 1110 110 1111111111-10 1111111011—9 1 10110010105 Nicholaus . 0110 Fay. .. 01011111017 Fanning. 0 Second event, fifteen live-bird match: 1111311111 F 007 2 111111111111000°13 01111 1113211 — 11111 111-15 111101111110 Fiagat 011111-14 01110 Zenterate. 110 Richards 01111 Webb. ... 111110110 Rubstallerdr..1 01111110 Jones 61010 Halght 11100 Stelling. 111111111111111-15 Fanning. 11110 J.

But Is Frustrated by the Deter- mined Stand Taken by Lleu- tenant Carden. SEATTLE, Wasn., Sept. 5.—But for the precaution and bravery of Sheriff Jones and Lieutenant Carden of the United States revenue launch Scout, R. H. Street, who murdered Leo Lauterman on Blakeley Island, August 13, and Irving Parberry, who appears to have been responsible for the tragedy, would have been lynched Tuesday night at Friday Harbor. Most desperate attempts on the part of forty or fifty men were made to string up the prisoners, who are now in jail at New Whatcom. Straub and Parberry were taken on board tne revenue launch from the insecure jail at Friday harbor and transported to New Whatcom. The Sheriff and his prisoners were pursued by a mob. The Sheriff's party ran up the gangplank of the launch and the would-be lynchers were only a few yards away, ) Lieut. Carden, standing in the launch, drew his revolver and declared that he would instantly shoot any man who fired upon the United States flag or those under its protection. Straub charges that the men were in- cited to mob violence by the utterances of Rey. Isaac Dillon, who officiated Sunday at Lanterman’s funeral. T Bicycle Accidents. TACOMA, WasH., Sept. 5.—Bicycle acci- dents are daily becoming more numerous and serious. Last night Dr. Coleman and Dr. Yocum of this city, while riding out on the prairie, collided with an unknown rider. Dr. Coleman was seriously injured and to-day an unknown bicycle rider ran down Walter Babler, a seven-year-old boy, hit- ting him with such violence that serious sults are feared. | | | ALONG THE COMST. Postmaster Coy of Occi- dental Tried and Acquitted. /A LADY HIS- ACCUSER. veteran knight of the gun, Crittenden Rob- | Charged With Having Opened Letters Passing Through the Mall. HE MADE A STRONG DEFENSE. A Large Delegation From Occldental Attended the Trlal at Santa Rosa. SANTA ROSA, Car., Sept. 5.—All the men and many of the women of the town of Occidental were in Santa Rosa to-day to hear or take part in the case of Postmaster Coy, who was accused of openinga letter in the United States mails. Mrs. Addie Taylor was the first witness called. She testified that she had known ‘W. B. Coy for the past nine years. On the | 7th of August last she sent a letter to her sister, Mrs. James Gibson, who lives at Guerneville. The letter was inclosed ina square en- velope and was stamped and sealed when the letter was dropped in the postoffice. On August 16 she saw Postmaster Coy at the postoffice and showed him an en- velope which her sister had returned to her from Guernevilie, and as the writing on it was not hers she asked Coy if it was his writing. The envelope returned was not the one originally used by witness. The envelope returned was not the one origninally used by witness. It was an oblong-stamped envelope. Coy stated it | was not his writing. Mrs. Tayior told Coy the letter had been opened and part of the contents were miss- ing. She there and then accused Coy or some one in the postoffice of having opened the letter. Mrs. Taylor further said she had fre- quently missed papers and letters, and that when she threatened to report the matter to the authorities at Washington Postmaster Coy had said she had better let the matter drop or it would cost her family their farm, and added if she did not want to have her mail delivered at Oc- { cidental to have it handled at Freestone. Mrs. Taylor said that she had received many letters through the mail that showed evidences of being tampered with; all the family letters looked as if they had been steamed and opened. The defense occupied the afternoon. W. F. Taylor testified that he had a talk with Postmaster Coy on @August 22, in which Coy said the letter had been found in the road by children and given to him. Coy said he had furnished the envelope and had addressed it. He identified the letter shown in court as the one Mrs. Tay- lor had previously shown him. Mrs. Proctor was sworn, and said that she and Mrs McCoy had found the letter in the road about three miles from Occi- dental. The envelope had been torn. They were on their way to attend a church- meeting. After comine aut of church they missed the letter. They went back to look for it and found it about a rod from the classroom. The letter was taken out of the envelope and put inside a new one and dropped in the postoffice. Other witnesses were examined, and it was generally considered that the defense Was a strong one. The case is an interesting one, as all the parties concerned are well known, and the courtroom was crowded with spectators. At 5o'clock the case was given to the jury, and at 6 o’clock they returned a ver- dict of not guilty. . Coy and Taylor are rival merchants, and some say the trouble grew out of the jealousy that has existed between them for a long time. STANFORD STUDENTS. A Large Number of Old and New Have Already Arrived. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Sept. 5.—The total regigtration of old students on Wednesday evening amounted to 530. At the same time last year the enrollment was 470. It is probable that the list of old students will reach a total of 750 within the next few days. They are coming in on every train and the stragglers will con- tinue to do so until the latter part of next week. The registration of new students to-day approximated a total of 300. The list will not be complete for several days yet; the total will reach about $400. Professors Murphy and Griggs, who have been studying abroad during the past year on leave of absence, have returned to the university and resumed their positions in the departments of physics and ethics re- spectively. Captain Cochran of the football team has issued his first call for volunteers, and the initial appearance of the men will probably take place on the oval before the end of the week. Mrs. E. M. Pease, wife of Professor Pease, head of the Latin department, died suddenly on Wednesday afternoon at her home on the campus, death resulting from blood poisoning. The sad occurrence has cast a gloom over the university com- munity. Mrs. Pease was a woman of many accomplishments and broad culture; among students and the factulty she was universally beloved. All department of the university will adjourn classes to- mMOrrow. —_— TACOMA’S INSOLVENT BANK. Its Books and Officers Have Mysteriously Disappeared.

The bet was | taken with the understanding that the gentlemen would follow. The ladies marched into the church and took a front seat followed by three of the entlemen. The fourth remained outside. e said he could face a jury or a crowded courtroom, but his courage quailed at the idea of escorting a quartet of ladies attired | in bloomers to a front pew at a church meeting. The preacher, seeing the ladies in bloom- ers, immediately changed his discourse and began a denunciation of the vanity of woman's attire and especially the folly of wearing bloomers. During the discourse the eyes of the congregation cantered on the ladies in bloomersand their escorts. Sl oy FOR LITERARY STUDY. Resumption of the Meetings of the Irene Club.
