4 - THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1895. -_— PACIFIC COAST NEWS, Sacramento Greets the Native Sons and Daughters. WELCOMED BY CROWDS. Visiting Parlors Escorted to Their Headquarters by Bands. READY FOR THE BIG PARADE. A Magnificent Pageant That Will ®Thread the Streets of the Capital City. SACRAMENTO, Carn., Sept. 7.—Never | was a more enthusiastic greeting tendered | city than was received by the first liment of Native Sons upon their ar- from Oakland and Alameda this evening. The huge depot contained at least 5000 Sacramento citizens, who had gathered " there to do honor to their guests. The cfowd was a y one, and no amount of ing or rved to arouse its before the arrival of the first | on of the train Sunset Parlor No. 26 acramento Parlor No. 3, headed by a , marched in double file into the g their separate slogans as ! ha! he! Who are we? 3!” and *“’Ra, 'ra, rix! rix! Sunset, Sunset, 26!"’ rang ut and was taken up on every side until | s fairly deafening. nce compared to what red when the long train vulled into isitors added their tumult. s to the After hearty gs on all sides, the visitors given the position of honor escorted by the Jocal parlors, hed to headquarters, where they dis- banded and dispersed to their headquar- ters to remove the dust of travel before re- assembling at the banquet which had been ead in Turner Hall, the Stanford Par- lor’s headquarters. In the assembled ranksof Native Sons to-night there were some of the lead- | ing men of the day; men who have already reached a prominent place on the steep and rungged path- way of fame; men who have already achieved renown as silver-tongued orators and leading statesmen, who have plainly shown their ability in the halls of the Legislature; of whom the State is justly vroud and whom the citizens of Sacra- mento delight to honor. The celebration this evening was the story of a city in illumination and of girls in white. The illuminations and decors- tions were gorgeous and the radiance of the costumes that thronged the streets was beyond descriptive power. The whole city had been waiting all the evening with enthusiasm for the main body of the Native Sons from San an-; cisco and the aanouncement that the | special train would not arrive until 10 did not lessen the expectant| ight did not bring any change to the scene, and it looked as though every- body intended to stay up all night to get | ready for the demonstration. Two belated | trains from San Francisco reached here | almost together at 11 o’clock, and still the peovle waited for the third. At1:30 a. x. the train bearing the San Francisco parlors arrived and was greeted by thousands of Sacramento people. The streets were a solid mass of people and it was almost impossible for a vehicle to | make its way. The procession, numbering thousands, | passed up X street, receiving a perfect | ovation en ronte. Every balcony was | crowded. Thousands of people have already ar- rived from all parts of the State, and the late-comers are finding difficulty in ob- taining sleeping room. ‘‘Telegraph home for the rest of them tp bring blankets,” has been heard at the hotels, and from 100 to 200 telegrams of imstructions have actually been sent to 8an Francisco alone. The hotels are pretty well crowded al- ready, but the citizens are supplying the need of room and thousands of homes will be placed at the disposal of the visitors to- morrow. There is no doabt that the celebration will be the greatest ever known in the his- tory of the order, and it is believed that there will be upward of 20,000 guests to provide for to-morrow night and on Mon- d To-morrow there will be no formal exer- cises, but a valuable part of the enti vrogramme is the Sunday afternoon con- cert, which will bring the Natives together at the historic old landmark of California, Sutters Fort. The music will be by Ron- covieri’s American band. The first party that arrived to-day was Placerville Parlor No. 9, which came in on the 2:40 train, It was met by the recep- tion committee, consisting of A. C. Kavff- man, J. T. Skelton and Howard Johnson, and by the general committee, which had & band in attendance, This parlor is one of the richest and oldest in the State, and boasts many mem- bers whose hair has already silvered at the touch of time. The members were ac- companied by the Native Daughters of Placerville, and made a goodly showing on their march from the depot. 3 Keystone Parlor of Amador was next to arrive, and was also welcomed and escorted “to its quarters by a band and the reception committees.

From the top of the dome to the main roof the building will be one brilliant mass of in- candescents, that will show every curve of the great dome, Topping all will be a large searchlight that will throw a broad band of golden beauty over the streets and residences of the Capital City. The magnificent groves of evergreens that have been garnered from every corner of the known world will be a mass of incandescents, colored in car- nival hues, that will throw their outlines into bold relief against the illumina- tion of the great white building where gather the lawmakers of the State, In the front of the grounds and above the reviewing stand has been erected on uprights an electric decoration bearing the names of those great controllers of the lightning’s flash—Morse, Franklin and Edison. These ngmes are outlined in cardinal-colored incandescents. An im- mense image of the bear has been erected upon the front of the Capitol, its body formed of incandescents of red, green and yellow. SRR NATIV IN CHICAGO. Admission Day Celebration Held in Jaclkson Park. CHICAGO, Iin., Sept. 7.—The forty- fifth Admission day of California was cele- brated to-day by the Western Association of California Pioneers. The German building in Jackson Park was turned over to the association, and from ¢ o'clock this morning generously filled lunch-baskets were arriving on the scene, incidental to the picnic gathering of the men and women who braved the dis- tant prairies and mountains in the forties to help settle the Pacific Coast. 014 folks and young joined forces to cele- brate the day. Experiences were told as the spirit moved and many a good old story was remembered in the enthusiasm of old acquaintances. The catering ar- rangements were perfect. Tea, coffee, lemonade and ices were setved in the Ger- man building and tables were provided with lunch indoors. he Western Association of California Pioneers was organized in January, 1890. | In applying the term ‘‘Pioneers” to the as- sociation it is understood to mean all who were residents of California at the time of its admission to the Union in September, 1850, but it is not intended to exclude those who be- came residents later on, limiting the time for admission to membership to all who started for California prior to January 1, PLAINSBUMENHS i Offer of Money and Free Sites to the Valley Road Directors.

ACROSS MOJAVE DESERT. Attired In Men’s Clothes, She Made the Journey as a Common Tramp. SEEKING A STOLEN CHILD. Tralnmen Take Pity on the Mas- querader and Ralse a Purse to Assist Her. SAE BERNARDINO, CaL., Sept. 7.—A pretty, biue-eyed woman, with a soft, sweet voice, and showing by her speech that she was not unrefined, arrived here to-day, having ridden over 500 miles upon the brakebeam of a through freight on the Santa Fe Railroad. Most of this distance was over the hot Mojave desert. The woman is in search of her stolen child. Her story bore upon its face such evidence of genuineness that ittouched the hearts of the trainmen, who every day in the year deal with the real hobo and are careless of this worthless class. The sex of this brakebeam tourist was discovered at Daggett, about eighty miles east of here, yesterday morning. The woman was dressed in boy’s clothes. Her walk was noticed by a brakeman who was chasing out the tramps—one of his regular duties—and he atonce was satisfied that she was masquerading, It was the first time in fifteen years of railroading that he had witnessed a woman undertaking and accomplishing this perilous ride. The pretty tourist politely but firmly de- clined to give her name or her residence, but with evident candor told that she had been deserted by her husband, who had taken with him their little girl aged 5 years. She heard recently that he had gone to Oregon and placed the girl in an orphan asylum. She was entirely without means, was too proud to beg where she was known, and made up her mind to steal rides as far as Los Angeles, where she hoped to find charity enough to enable her to continue on her journey. If not, then it would have to be more brakebeam riding. The train crew became interested in her behalf, took her into the caboose, and when they reached Barstow, the division terminus, secured an outfit of feminine wearing-apparel. They raised a small purse, got a pass for her into Los Angeles and gave her escort to this city, where she hreakfasted at the depot, and left by the 8:10 train. The railroad men hope to secure trans- portation for her to Oregon. At breakfast it was noticed that her complexion, natu- rally fair and soft, had not suffered much by the 500-mile journey through the heat and dust, but her hands were stained, bruised and rough. Her brown hair had been cut short. She bore herself with mod- esty and no little dignity, and her womanly bearing served as her strongest protector. CATALINA [SLAND JOYS, A Trip to Little Harbor One of the Popular Pastimes for Visitors. Picturesque Scenery Viewed From an Old-Time Six-Horse Con- cord Coach. AVALON, Caravmya Israxp, Sept.5.— Now that the season is waning at Catalina Island and the summer crowds have de- varted, those who linger on to enjoy the lovely autumn quiet take a lively interest in the numerous side tripsfrom Avalon across and to the interior of the island. One of tire most unique and delightful of these is that to the Isthmus and Little Harbor, which is accomplished via water twelve miles down the shoreward coast of the island, and, thence by stage, eight miles diagonally across, over a splendid stage road which has been cut through the mountains, and is as smooth and hard as if macadamized. The Isthmus, the point where the yacht ride ends and the stage ride begins, is the very narrowest part of the island, being only half a mile across. It is here that Uncle Sam erected a big barracks during thelate war and stationed troops of sol- diers to guard the coast. The barracks still standing and are used now as a com- bination shell store and inn, where sight- seers may get a lunch, Not far from the barracks is the old Indian graveyard where yards and yards of wampum and beads are unearthed every year by ambi- tious relic seekers. Explorations are interrupted by & sum- mons from the coaching-horn, and one mounts the big, six-horse Concord, with its grnncing uteeél. with a thrill of pleasure. If fortunate enough to_occupy the box- seat, and if Captain Banning himself bandles the ribbons, he can count it & special providence, for nowhere in all Cali- fornia is there a better driver, so tradition saith, than this son of the pioneer, old Captain Banning, whose name and fame are known throughout the State. The first part of the way leads up the mountains, closely following the coast and disclosing magnificent marine views as the coach mounts hiFher up the cliffs. Lion Point juts boldly out into the sea just below the Isthmus, the cliffs exactly de- scribing a lion’s head couched between two enormous paws. Looking across the stretch of shining waters to the mainland one can plainly descry, if it be a clear day, Santa Monica, San Pedro, Terminal Island, Long Beach, Oceanside and San Juan, and, were it not for Point Firmin, Redondd would complete the circle of summer re- sorts to ba seen from Catali eights. ‘With an abrupt turn the smooth, hard mountain road bends away from the coast and, thgini down a sieep descent, the tourist is 1n the interior of the island, the sea completely shut away from view and the mountains rising around with the sub- Jimity of the Sierras.

By and Little Harbor comes into view, and a glimpse of the-surf dashing on the rocks is caught. A halt is made, and the signal g _that announces to “the proprietor of the Little Harbor Inn tbat he will have company for dinner is duly hoisted. Then ‘the driver chirrups cheerfully to his horses, places his foot carefully on the brake and the splendid horses toss their manes and dash along at a rate which sug- ests Horace Greeley’s famous ride over he Sierras when Hank Monk handled the reins. Like Horace, one feels moderately sure that he’ll ‘“‘get there on time.” Twenty minutes later and the six steam- ing but still prancing horses are reined up _before, the wide porch of the inn, which stands on the brink of a bluff over- looking the sea. A stepladder is brought out by means of which the party dismount from the towering coach and enter the rustic, picturesque inn with appetites well sharpened by the brisk sea air and the ex- citing mountain ride.

G. de la Cuesta, the Deputy Sheriff who was one of the party led to 1daho by Henry Van Hubbard, supposed to have been murdered at Florence, to-day telegraphed to Idaho officials for full particulars con- cerning the alleged discovery of Van Hub- bard’s body.

SN LUIS REY SHOOTING, The Notorious Isador Renteria Adds Another Victim to His List. Ramon Aralza Mortally Wounded for Interfering With a Wife- Beater. SAN DIEGO, OaL., Sept. 7.—Ramon Araiza was shot last night by Isidor Ren- teria, an old settler in San Luis Rey Val- ley who has on several occasions been forced to leave the country to escape arrest for violent crimes. Both men were living in brush booths, erected close to the mission grounds at San Luis Rey, where the fiesta of San Luis was celebrated two weeks ago. Araiza conducted a saloon and Renteria a res- taurant. Renteria js married to the mother of Araiza’s wife. Gus Gillen, who keeps a store across the road, was sitting in Araiza’s booth talking to him last night when they heard screams of Renteria’s wife in her booth, They ran over, Araiza first and Gillen and Mrs. Araiza following. ‘When they were opposite the front of the restaurant they saw Renteria holding his wife by the hair and beating her. ‘When he saw the party coming he left his wife and took up a Winchester rifle which was standing in a corner. Araiza was then about at the entrance of the place. Renteria fired at him, the bul- let striking a mirror hanging on the front post, and glancing off struck Araiza in the abdomen, inflicting a mortal wound, in the opinion of his physician. In a short time all the neighbors were at the scenz, and by the time the wounded man was cared for Renteria had disap- peared. A crowd started out in search of the murderer, but he was not found. Constable Hubbert took his trail yester- day and tracked him to Gird, a portion of the Montserrat ranch, where all trace of him was lost. , Renteria was on foot, but gmbab]y lost no time in picking up a orse. Sheriff Jennings was notified, and all the constables in the county are on the lookout for Renteria. It is believed he made a beeline for Lower California. LT Lok NOVEL SWIMMING MATCH.

Shortly after noon, when coming down Grapevine Hill near Auckland, the leaders shied at a log lging beside the road and proceeded to climb the hillside. Driver Collins’ only chance to save the passengers was to jump out and control the horses. The team was stopped after going about twenty feet, but not before the stage overturned, tossing the %nsuengm in all directions. Miss Hattie Evans’ right arm was_broken above the elbow, the Thorn child’s left lez was broken above the ankle and Maud Nighbert’s ankle was sprained. The 1njured were conveyed by a passing teamster to_Townsend station, eighteen miles from Visalia, and on re- ceipt of the news a physician was sent from here. g Eleotrio Power for Visalia.

Asserts That the Attorneys for the Defense Have Unearthed the Stolen Metal. CARSON, Ngv., Sept. 7.—The Evening Tribune of this city claims to have made sensational discoveries in connection with the mint cases. The following appeared in to-night’s issue of the paper: ““The Tribune is going to predict again in the mint cases. It is that there is a sensation in store for those interested in them. It predicts that at the trial in No- vember, and probably before, the facts of two bullion discoveries will be made known to the public. The exact amounts of the bullion find the Tribune is not yet able to state, and the location of the finds it isnot disposed to make known yet, either. The first ind was made on or about the 28th of Au&ust, and the latter, say yesterday. ‘‘The August discovery consisted of gold bullion such as may be seen in some United States mints, posssibly the one in Carson. That found yesterday was fine gold, pure and simple. The first lot is not in Carson. The second is, and is supposed to have been dug out of an old vault. ““Neither the Government detectives nor the officials had any hand in the discov- ery, but enongh thoroughly responsible and reliable men know of the whole mat- ter to make it_right, The discovery was made by the defense in the mint cases. They will not admit it, but they do not deny it, either. When the attorneys for defendants found the silyer bullion in Pick- ler’s yard it was almost immediately taken from the magistrate in whose hands they placed it and claimed by the Government representatives, who consulted with them no further. This kind of treatment did not please the lawyers, and they then and there resolved to hunt on their own re- sponsibility thereafter without resorting to search warrants and without inviting the Government detectives to be present. That the new plan has been successful the Tribune assumes the responsibility of as- serting as a fact, and the public will not long remain in ignorance of the full par- ticulars. “It is known that local detectives have been working on the case some time in different places—Reno, Carson and Vir- ginia. Itis known that the mint was in- spected a couple of days ago by the de- fepse.” FEDESTEN G Somoma County’s Tas Lery. SANTA ROSA, CAL., Sept. 7.—The mem- bers of the Board of Supervisors at a ses- sion to-day indicated how they would vote when the new tax levy is made for Sonoma County. A majority of the board will vote for a total tax levy of §153 per $100 worth of taxable property. It will be divided as follows: Indigent fund, 5 cents; general, 27 cents; bond, 10 cents; road, cents; school, .255} cents. The tax rate this year is §110. Many new bridges, new county maps and other expenditures com- pel the Supervisors to make the present rate.
