TACOMA, WasH., Sept. 10.—A question similar to that which caused the Bannock Indlan uprising has come to an-issue here. George Leschi, Yelm Jim and other Puy- allup Indians living on the reservation ad- joining the city were arrested by a deputy Fish Commi: ner for maintaining a fish trap in Puyallup River contrary to the provisions of the State game law. The In- dians pleaded that under the treaty of 1854 they have aright to hunt and fish and propose to fight the case. They have the following opinion from their attorney. James Wickersham, who is also City At- torne; < der the treatv of the Puyallups and others you have a right to build a fish trap across the Puyallup at the usual fishin phice.

His body was lying in the road a short distance above the | Tichenor property. His neck was broken { and the ind:cations were that he had been dead for a couple of hours. It was learned that Tichenor had driven over the road from La Honda with a horse |and cart found near by. The night was very dark. The road is full of curves and sharp turns around projecting embank- | ments and is lined on both sides with the reat redwoods of the San Gregorio and a Honda creek bottoms, It is supposed | that in the dafkness the team ran too close | to the embankment and overturned the | | wagon and that Tichenor was thrown out | and killed. SENSHTION OF BEDHODD Jesse Potter Suspenaced as Executor of the Lux Estate. Charges of Gross Frauds Made by a Son of the Decedant in an Affidavit. REDWOOD CITY, Car., Sept. 10.—An | affidavit was filed in the Superior Court to- | day and ‘an order made suspending the | powers of Jesse Sheldon Potter as execn- | tor of the estate of Charles Lux, deceased, | and citing him to appear September 26, 1895, and show cause why his appointment | as such executor should not be revoked. | Public Administrator James Crowe was | appointed special administrator, “with | bond fixed at $40,000. The charges in the petition for Potter’s | removal are of a serious nature. Henry Lux in an affidavit swears that Potter is incompetent to ac executor by reason of his habitual drunkenness, his improvi- dence and his want of integrity. Potter, he alleges, for more than five years past. has been, and still is a habitual drunk- | ard, and has squandered large sums of | mor ent his life in riotous and profii ng. He has so expended more than $200,000, borrowed from Henry | Miller, the ing partner of the firm of Miller & Lux, and 1s now indebted to | | Miller in said sum and is fully under the | | control and in the power of Miller. | | The affidavit declares that Miller, ever | | since the death of Charles Lux, has re- | | sisted the seftling up of the partnership | and is contending in litigation against the ! estate and executor for the purpose of pre- | venting the settlement of the affairs of the | firm. Potter is the principal plaintiff and | is conducting the litigation on behalf of | the plaintiffs. | There are allegations to the effect that | | Potter has committed frauds against the | interests of the devisees by putting him-| | self wholly under the control of Miller and | preventing the settlement of the estate. | | Among other acts Potter has from time to jime given evidence in the interest of Mil- | ler in litigation against the interests of the estate, and has wrongfully colored and dis- torted his testimony in favor of Miller and to the injury of the estate, and holds him- self ready at all times to testify in favor of Miller and against the interests of the estate. SHR JOSES FAR IDERS Two Young Ladies Who “Did” a Century in Seven Hours. Rode to San Franclsco, Sights, Saw the and Returned the Same Day. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 10.—Women bi- cyclists of this city are afflicted with the | “century-run” craze just at present. Yes- | terday C. B. Reel, Miss Ethel G. Reel and | Miss Lillie Alexander rode to San Fran- ! cisco and back. The trip to San Francisco | was made in 3)¢ hours. Arriving in the | City, the party Tode through many streets | and visited Golden Gate Park, riding some | ten or fifteen odd miles. Tne return trip | was made in 3)¢ hours, the actual riding | time being 7 hours. . | This beats by an hour the best time made i by a lady cyclist over the route. Miss Mala Helm of Santa Clara, who has been ‘considered the lady champion of the coast, made the trip in 8 hours. A short time ago Miss Helm, paced by a | tandem, rode ten miles between Irvington and Milpitas in 35 minutes, and since then it has been considéred the ladies’ road record. The friends of Miss Alexander claim she can ride ten miles 1n 80 minutes. and in afew weeks she will attempt to lower the record held by Miss Helm. On the trip. yesterday the ladies rode drop- frame wheels of a low gear, which makes the time all the more remarkable. e gt Falsecap BeachiSkeleton Identified. EUREKA, CaL, Sept. 10.—The skeleton found on the ocean beach near Falsecap yesterday has been positively 1dentified as that of Andrew Anderson, who was drowned on Humboldt bar on August 6. Nothing was left on the body but the shoes, socks and a leather belt. "The socks were of a peculiar paitern made by the mother of the deceased, who lives in Sweden, and the shoes were made by his brother. A reward of $50 was offered for the body, and Anderson’s relatives have accepted the identification. R oty Called to @ Santa Rosa Pulpit.

Over Two Hundred Ministers to Be Present When the Confer- ence Opens To-Day. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL., Sept. 10.—This seaside town is full of Methodists to-night. They have come to the regular annual State Conference, to be held here during six days beginning to-morrow. The evening train from the north brought the major portion of the delegation, though over 100-ministers have been here for the past week attending the conference of young ministers and conducting their regular annual examinations for promo- tions. Over 200 clergvmen delegates have arrived and nearly 250 lay delegates, with more to come, as the lay conference does not take place until Friday. This evening was devoted to an informal reunion of all delegates at the Methodist church, where the closing session of the Itinerant Club was being held. The Itinerant Club is composed mostly of young clergymen attending the annual ex- Bishop Henry W. Warren of Denver.

The enrollment at this year's conference is neerly ninety, the largest yet, including about fifty young clergymen who were ex- amined. The officers for the ensuing year are: W. S, Bovard, Trinity Church, San Francisco, president; C. E. Pettis, Amador, vice-president; Rev. A. H. Needham, Santa Clara, secretary and treasurer. The executive committee is to be avpointed. The Itinerant Club’s conference has been devoted to examinations in the forenoons and lectures in the evenings. Last Thurs- day evening Rev. Dr. Matthew, editor of the California Christian Advocate, ad- dressed the young ministers on ““The Es- sentials of Successful Ministry.” On Fri- day Rev. Dr. Selah Brown of Southern California lectured on *‘The Fultiliment of the Prophecy, as Seen by a Travelers Eyes.” In Saturday’s symposium on ministerial preparations Rev.-Dr, M. C. Robert McElroy, the Pioneer Metho- dist. % [Reproduced from a photograph.] | Briggs of S8an Jose spoke 6n “Preparation in School,”” Rev. M. D. Buck of Sacramento on “Preparation in Study,” Rev. William Angwin of Santa Rosa on “The Minister and_his Business Methods,” and Rev. E. R. Willis, the presiding elder of Napa dis- trict, on “The Minister in iis Spiritual Life.” Sunday evening Rev. Dr. W. W. Case of Howard-street Church, S8an- Francisco, spoke on “The Church of the Twentieth Century.” “Hard Scrabble Experiences, or the Hardships of Frontier Minisiry,” was the subject last night. It was introduced by Rev. A. T. Needham, presiding elder of Sacramento District, and participated in by Revs. H. B. Sheldon, M. C. Briggs, A. J. Nelson, George Clifford and Manly 8. Hara. The large church was crowded to the walls with delegates and others to-night. Bishop H. W. Warren of Denver, in a brief address, said the occasion was the close of a successful meeting of the Itinerants’ Club and the informal beginning of the regular conference of to-morrow. Address- ing the young ministers he said: “When a minister can say, ‘I am repro- ductive of some power of the universe,’ then he can advance with assurance. He must feel his call from God. “If,”” continued the Bishop, “a man uses wire pulling to geta ministerial position, he is no longer of that soul-power of the universe. We have come here not so much to transact business. The main thing of ‘the conference is to find out how better to do our work. There’s power enough; | young ministers. | that parade. there's machinery enough; but is the ma- chinery belted on properly 2"’ Dr. N. 8. Hard, secretary of the Church Extension Society, was the next speaker, and put.the audience in good humor by a number of apt stories, followed by inter- esting reminiscences of his father’s and Lis own ministerial work in the days when there was no Itinerants’ Club to aid From this discourse of an informal nature he turned thought naturally to religious enthusiasm, and soon had the whole assemblage united in rousing songs, with which the meeting ended. PORTLAND’S NEW WOMAN. Bloomers to Be Worn by Cyclers of the Smart Set. PORTLAND, Og., Sept. 10.—A party of society women here have determined to wear regulation bloomers on bicycles, al- leging that there. is nothing m{mod_est about them, excepting in the imagination of mmpure minds. Costumes are now baing made and in a fortnight the society will bowl along thie streets in the garb. One said: -2 “My mother told me that years ago, when the crinoline first came into vogue, most of her acquaintances said that no decent woman would’ wear sueh a thing, but in a few years the ‘tilter’ even .was worn by princesses as weil as peasant. I predict that the bloomer, which is not nearly as immodest as the ‘cilting’ hoop- skirt, will in'a year or'two be just asuni- versally popular as it is now condemned.” GUESTS OF THE CAPITAL Visitors to Sacramento Find It Difficult to Get Away.

Joseph Moralles’ Audience Gathered From Slum and Gutter. LIQUOR CAUSED HIS RUIN. The Son of a Spanish Nobleman in Court as a Common Drunk. SAN JOSE, Car., Sept. 10.—The prison- ers’'in the City Jail were this morning treated to Italian opera by Joseph Mo- ralles, who claims to be the son of a Span- ish nobleman. Moralles was arrested for drunkenness last night, and this morning he enter- tained the other prisoners with sketches from Italian tragedies and operas. His singing showed that his voice was well trained and that he would be an attraction in any opera troupe. In telling the story of his life Moralles said that he has traveled all over the world and played in all the great cities, but his unconquerable appetite for liquor had led to his downfall, and now he was an out- cast in a foreign country. SACRAMENTO, Car.,, Sept. 10.—The | Admission day throng began to break up | to-day, though there will be thousands of | visitors here throughout the week. Railroad enterprise in getting the people | away is not so great as the enterprise | shown in getting them here, and the San | Francisco people who wanted to reach their homes to-day are not altogether | pleased with the difficulty exvperienced. All the excursion tickets were sold for the Benicia route, and only the regular trains were run on that line, except us it became | absolutely necessary to run these trains in | sections.” From 6:45 o'clock in the morn- | ing to 3 o’clock in the afternoon the excur- sionists had no trains, and at 3 o'clock there was one of the wildest, most tumult- uous rushes ever seen at any station:in California. Barry Baldwin and his forces of last summer could bardly have held back the people. But.everybody was good- natured and those who could not find room in the trains then made up seemed in- clined to think that 1t was just as well, anyhow, to stay until night or to-morrow. Nobody wanted to go, and only those who were compelled to go found fault with the lack of trains. The San Francisco steamer was thronged with passengers, and every train that went out of the city in any direction had as many cars as the engine could hanl. t was announced in the afternoon that the electric parade would be repeated on | Wednesday and Friday evenings, and | many will wait to view the wonders of effects -are | The electrical beyond all description, and the concen- | trated glories of the illuminations at the | Midwinter Fair in San Francisco could | hardly be classed in comparison. " It is asserted here that the cost .of the Monday night display is greater than the cost of any similar illumination ever known, and that does not seem improba- ble. A rough counting up of the public expenditure alone shows the use of over $30,000, and it is probable that the total expense is three times as great. And yet Sacramento has made money, while boundlessly hospitable and generous. akm T aaes CROWDS AT THE PAVILION, Thousands Throng the Building to See the State Fair Exhibits. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 10.—The | State Fair will be a decided success finan- | cially. This was assured to-night when the pavilion opened and the waiting throng began to pourin. For two hours‘ they kept coming, and it was nearly 10 | o’clock before the crowded streetcars | ceased dumping their loads at the door of | the exhibition building. It is doubtful if ever before in the his- tory of State fairs in California the pavil- ion held a larger crowd than it did to- night. The throng was sof dense that it | was impossible for a visitor to move inde- | Egn'der_n of it, and in order to see the ex- ibits it was necessary to follow the trend of the human tide that flowed slowly through the aisles-and open spaces. There were thousands of visitors, and with the pretty women clad in summer dress and gandy bonnets, bows and rib- bons, wending their way among the dis- plays, seeming to move in time to_the | stirring music of Roncovieri’s band, it looked like fairyland under the glow of the | electric lights.” The directors are filled | with glee over to-night’s attendance, and | say that, notwithstanding the grnné at- | traction offered last year in the exhibits | from the Midwinter Fair, there were nearly | 2000 more %eowle in the pavilion to-night | than in the biggest night’s attendance last | year. The big floats which were in the electric | carnival procession last night have been | put on exhibition in the pavilion and com- mencing to-morrow night will be lighted the balance of the week. This will un- | doubtedly aid greatly in drawing the crowd | to Lhe};q ilion every might until the close of the fair and the money-box at the ticket- office will grow fat. —_ e Will Estoblish Sawmills. FRESNO,CAL., Sept. 10.—It isannounced that the White Friant Company, consisting of several wealthy lumbermen of Grand Rapids, Mich., will soon develop their large lumber interests on the north fork of the San Joa‘]ln‘m River by the establish- ment of mills there and a flume to_this city. Tha company has 19,000 acres of the finest timber land in the State in the North Fork country, and it is securing more as fast as it can buy it. It has been acquiring this property ¥or years and was ready to develop it when the crisis of 1893 warned them to go slow. IS s Brush Fire Near Seattle.

REDWOOD CITY, Car., Sept. 10.—The Board of Buperyisors met to-day and “My father,” says Moralles, ‘‘was a Spanish nobleman, ‘but he has been dead some years. My mother was a favorite | singer in the Grand Opera at Genoa, and my father, hearing her sing, fell in love with her voice and beauty, refused to listen to the warnings and threats of his father and mother, and married the pretty singer, In two years I was born, but even before that my father had tired of it all, and, taking advantage of a reconciliation, had left mother to shift for herself and | gone back to father, mother and his es- tate in Spain. “How well I know the story, for mother used to tellme about my father almost be- fore I could talk ana of the estate I would some day inherit. But before I was 6 years old he died and’ mother never heard from Spain. It was from her I gotmy voice, you see, and before 1 was 20 I was singing at the Grand Opera at Genoa.

F¥erdict of the Coroner’s Jury Over Her- bert Bryant’s Body. SAN JOSE, Car.,, Sept. 10. — Coroner Secord held an inquest to-day over the body of Herbert Bryant, the negro who was killed in self-defense yesterday after- noon by Fred G. Wenzel, a bartender. John Balas, who was in the saloon, testi- fied that Bryant entered with a pistol in his band, but the witness, as he saw there was going to be shooting, ran out of the place. Other witnesses were examined, and the testimony tended to show that the killing wus%uut}finble. After a few minutes’ deliberation the jury returned a verdict of justifiable homi- cide and Wenzel was discharged. Bryant had a bard reputation in this city. A few years ago he was arrested for assaulting William Whiting with a knife, but the case was not prosecuted. He had been arrested several times for drunken- ness and carrying concealed weapons. He wasknbout 35 years old and anative of Ken- tucky. —_————— 1RON ROD IN THE CELL. Evidence of a Plot to Break Jail at San Jose. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 10. — Deputy Sheriff Black yesterday discovered an iron rod about eighteen inches long in the bottoru of the stove in the small tank ot the County Jail which, it is believed, was to have been used in an attempted jail break. In the tank are many desperate criminals, and it is thought that during Jailer Gardner’s absence on a vacation, they intended to knock Black down when he opened the door and effect an escape. In the tank are Thomas 8t. Clair, under | sentence of death; John Devine, char with robbery; McKune and several other hard criminals. RACES AT SACRAMENTO, Patchmont Easily Beaten in the Free-for-All Pace by Waldo J. The Two-Year-Old Pace Won by Jennie Mc—A Seemingly Unjust Declslon. SACRAMENTO, CArL., Sept. 10.—Train- loads of departing Native Sons and Daugh- ters were pulling out of town throughout the day, and adieus to departing friends kept many Sacramentans from attending the races. The uncertain condition of the weather, too, was not prolific of good racing. The rain left the track in rather bad condition, and fast time was not looked for. The feature of the card was the free-for- all pace, and, although marred by the ab- sence of the black wonder, Cheialis and the chesinut, Adonis Diablo, an exching contest was looked for. It was plainly not Pathmont’s day, for he finished third in | the first heat, taken by Waldo J in 2:11%, and, although he took the next heat in the only exciting drive of the day through a mistake made by the gray at the first turn, Waldo simply toyed with him in the following two heats, and won with such ease that the race was deprived of all semblance of a contest. Dr. Puif and Our Lucky were called out by the judges to fight out their struggle for first money in the 2:27 trot, e-ch“gl\'- infi two heats to his credit. Dr. Puff was a big favorite in the auctioneering and took the first heat in a common jog, Our Lucky making a bad break before reaching the first quarter pole. The time, 2:2614, was 80 slow that notwithstanding the condition of the track, the judges did not like the agreed on a rate for the county tax, and fixed it at 915 cents. This is Jower than any county tax rate so far reported here. comg!exion of things and called it “no In the next heat Dick Havey was substi- e 2 r tuted for G. Maben, but although Our Lucky made & much better showirfi, being beaten but half a length in 2:2214, the Doctor secured first money and his jubi- lant supporters got in line. A large proportion of the crowd was busy scaring up loose change at the conclusion of the two-year-old pacing stake, worth $750. There were but four starters and Jennie Mc held sway in the betting. selling for §25,with Agitato, the overnight favorite, 2 decidedly strong second choice at $23, while Prince Bismarck and King Cadenza, selling as the field, brought $6. Agitato was very unsteady the first heat, con- tinually going in the air, and was finally distanced, Jennie Mc_taking the heat handily from Prince Bismarck in 2:22. Pooling was now dead on the race, and fhe pretty little filly came out and ook the next heut and race in a walk, pacing the mile in 2:273¢, with Prince Bismarck again second and King Cadenza third. There was some lively fluctuating in the auction betting in the third event of the day, the 2:13 pace, with four starters. Ottinger at first sold a pronounced favorite, but later he brought $20, the field, consist- ing of Plunkett and Hanford Medium, $20, and Fred Mason $19. When the judges gave them the word Fred Mason went out in the lead, and, holding it all the way, won with ridiculous ease in 2:153{, Han- ford Medium second and Plunkett third. Mason took the next two heats and the race, without ever being extended, in 2:1314 and 2:14}{. Ottinger, who was un- steady in the first heat, finished second in the two following heats, taking second money. The concluding race of the day, for horses eligible to the 2:25 class, two-mile heats, resulted in a victory for the favorite Ethel Downs. There were six entries for the race, and the grand-looking mare brought $30 in the pools against $15 for Bonnie Ben and $15 for the field. She took the first heat so handily from Bonnie Ben in 4:491¢ that it was almost impos- sible to sell the entire field for $4 on the next heat against $20 for the daughter of Boodle. She took the next heat and race in processional manner, finishing ten lengths in front of Letter B in 4:47)¢ ulled up in a jog. The latter mare, w %nd been making a game effort through- out, went into the air a short distance from the wire, but Kent soon gou her| down, and she beat Flora G out a length for second place. But now came a decision from the stand that was as inexplicable as it was unjust. Flora G did running enough in the heat to entitle ber to high rank among quarter horses, yet the judges deprived Letter B of second position, g}ae{ng her third, and gave place in the heat to Flora G, against which a long price was laid by the bookies.
