SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 22.—At a special meeting of the Directors of the Board of Trade last evening the report of the com- mittee on the proposed electric road from San Jose to Saratoga was considered. The committee reported that the road would be a vast benefit to the business men of this city and property-owners along the route, as it would give swift and constant communication between this city and the people on the west side of the valley. The committee urged the people of San Jose and western side of the valley to give Mr. Hale and his associates their liberal sup- port. J. F. Pfetch addressed the board, saying that he and his associates intended to go among the principal property-ownersalong the line and get them to attend a mass- meeting at Saratoga. The sum asked, $50,- 000, is but fifty cents per acre on the land by which the new road will pass. The value of that land will be increased thereby not fifty cents per acre, but from $5 to $25 per acre. He assured the directors that if they se- cured sufficient encouragement the road would be in operation next June. The board adopted the report of the committee, and it was their opinion that the Saratoga Railroad was the best business proposition ever presented to them, and announced themselves as being heartily in favor of it. S Fancy Prunes for the East. BAN JOSE, CaL., Sept.22.—The Santa Clara County Fruit Exchange is shipping on an average about two carloads of fanecy Ymnes East a day. The prunes are packed n 25-pound boxes and faced with wax paper and other fancy trimmings, and on the box is put an attractive colored label. About fifty girls are employed in the ware- house packing the fruit. Most all the orders from the East are now being filled with box goods, and but little fruit is be- ing shipped in bags. The exchange will furnish Eastern dealers with banners, with the words ‘‘California Cured Dried Fruits From the Santa Clara Valley.” The ban- ners are oi’raper and about three feet in length, and contain pictures of prunes, apricots and peaches artistically printed in eight colors. et = An Incendiary Five. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 22.—The box fac- tory of A.E. Newby, in the suburbs of this city, was completely destroyed by an incendiary fire to-night. The loss is esti- mated at $11,000; insurance . This is the third fire Newby has suffered from within eighteen months, éach having almost completely destroyed bis large box- making and fruit-drying plant. THE CROSSLEY DOME. All of the Numerous Parts Now Safe at the Lick Observatory. LICK OBSERVATORY, CaL., Sept 22.— The last of the parts of the Crossley dome have been received at Mount Hamilton. No part has been found materially dam- aged out of the many composing the ship- ments. The Southern Pacific Compan: transported free of charge from New g’orlvr to San Jose all of the dome all of the tele- scope, except the mirrors and delicate op- tical parts. The same service was performed for the latter by Wells, Fargo & Co’s express. . All of Mr. Crossley’s magnificent gift is now safely housed, and it only remains to put it in working order. It was hoped to use the instrument this year, but the late arrival of some of the parts will probably delay its erection until spring. PO S 5 COUNTY BOUNDARY TROUBLE. Riverside Decides to Take Action to Do Away With It. RIVERSIDE, CaAL., Sept. 22.—At a re- cent meeting of the Supervisors of this county on the subject of the location of the boundary line between this and San Bernardino County it was decided in favor of doing the werk. The line in question is over 100 miles of L] ‘desert country and has never deen estab- lished, and recently valuable discoveries of gold-bearing quartz mines have been made, and in many instances it is not known in which county the property is lo- cated. T For the purpose of assessment it is necessary to know this, as well as for other important reasons, one of which has developed within a few days by the com- mencement of several lawsuits against the rich Desert Queen mine. The uncertainty of the location of the mine made it neces- sary to file suits in both counties. 5 Itis not exgected that the line will be run out to the State line this time, but it will be run far enough east from Banning to_reach beyond the territory of active mining operations. o d SUICIDE AT SEATTLE. It Is Accomplished in @ Most Deliberate Manner. SEATTLE, Wasn., Sept. 22.—Leander Hebard, an old soldier and logger by occu- pation, killed himself last night or this morning. Sitting erect in a chair in his apartments he placed a double-barreled shotgun in such a position that it enabled him to send a heavy charge of bird shot into his heart. Death must have been in- stantaneous. The body, which was not found until this afternoon, occupied the position it did when the self-murderer, with precision and deliberation, sat down and sent his soul into eternity. The de- ceased was a Forester, presumably single and about 55 years of age BOLD SPOKANE: THIEVES, Two Prominent Gambling Places Looted by Them Within a Week. So Cleverly Were the Thefts Com- mitted That No Captures Have Been Made. SPOKANE, Wasg., Sept 22.—A little after 8 o’clock in the afternoon two masked men walked into the. gambling-rooms of the Leroi saloon and presenting revolvers demanded the money from the tills of the gambling-tables. The usual large Satur- day night crowd had but just left and there was noone in the room except a couple of faro dealers who were preparing to close the rooms. They made no re- sistance, and the men very coolly took everything in sight, even to the nickels and dimes, and backed out of the door, go- tng down the side of the stairway. The matter was at once reported to the police, but as yet there is absolutely no clue to the robbers. This is the second robbery that has oc- curred in a gambling-house during the week. Just a week ago a young man walked into Cceur d'Alene gambling- rooms, and aithough the room was crowded with players, it being early in the evening, he crowded in back of the faro-dealersand in sight of the dealer, lookout and all the players, reached in the money-drawer, took a roll of billsand disappeared down the stairway before any one could stop him. He hasnot yet been apprehended. — e FIRE AT LIVERMORE, It Destroys About $35,000 Worth of Property. LIVERMORE, Car., Sept. 22.—About $35.000 worth of property was destroyed this evening by the burning of a large warehouse which contained about 3500 tons of hay belonging to Anspacher Bros. The fire started at 7 o’clock and gained such headway that the fire company had to abandon it, and turn its attention to other/buildings in the vicinity, which they saved. Fortunately a freight engine had steam up, and saved several cars that were on a sidetrack. The origin of the fire isa mystery, but is supposad to be incendiary. The property is fully insured. - AN UNEXPECTED FORTUNE. It Falls to the Lot of a Visitor to Santa Monica. SANTA MONICA, CaL., Sept. 22.—Mrs. A. Andrews, who has been summering here and has lived on the coast for the past ten years, never in any one town more than a year, received the news to-day of the death of a brother in Australia, leaving her $20,000, which will place her in comfortable circumstances the rest of her days. A peculiar incident of the affair is that she had not seen or heard from the brother for over twenty years, and was beginning to believe him dead. i s FATALITY AT SAN BERNARDINO. While Drilling a Lad Kills His Brother Accidentally. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Sept. 22.— At East Riverside this afternoon George Roach, 13-year-old son of John Roach, was drilling in his father’s yard with a brother two years older. One had a shotgun and the other a 50-caliber rifle. In some way the elder brother’s rifle was discharged and the bullet pierced George’s brain. Death was instantaneous. The father and elder brother are distracted with grief. e Attempted a Double Tragedy. FRESNO, Caxn., Bept. 22.—Nicholas Stampfel, who came from San Francisco last May with Valentina Wosonska, fired two shots at her and then shot himself ata down-town lodging house this afternoon. The woman was not hurt, but Stampfel sent a bullet through his own head. It entered below the left jaw and passed out at the temple. The brain escaped injury and he may recover. Stampfel was angry because the woman refused to keep com- pany with him any longer. e A Fresnoite Attempts Suicide. FRESNO, CaL., Sept. 22.—John Huff took an ounce of laudanum last night be- cause his wife, who had left him, refused to live with him again. Huff took the Poison in the presence of his wife and she mmediately summoned assistance. ‘I'he laudanum was pumped out of Huff and to- day he is in his usual health., The reason Mrs. Huff left her husband was that he was almost insanely jealous of her and made her life with him unbearable. o —— Wheelmen at a Feast, SANTA CRUZ, CaL, Sept. 22.—The Banta Cruz wheelmen had a grand barpe- cue and bullshead dinner to-day at the lovely grove in Wagner’s Park. A good delegation was present from Pajaro Valley Wheelmen of Watsonville, from Gilroy and San Jose and the Santa Cruz and Pilot clubs of this city. A very enjoyable time ‘was spent and a fine dinner served. e ¥ More Forestic Invaders. SANTA MONICA, Caw., Sept. 22.—The Foresters came down in greater numbers to-day than yesterday, and were enter- tained by the local courts and the citizens generally. . Captain A. P. Elliott furnished another of his famous clambakes on the beach in front of the North Beach bath- house. o N Baseball at Santa Cruz. SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept. 22.—A good game of baseball was played at Athletic Park this afternoon before a large crowd of spectators. The game was between the Olympics of San Francisco and the Elec- trics of this city, and was won by the Olympies, the score being 11 to 10. et Affected by the Warm Wave, SANTA MONICA, Carn., Sept. 22.—A warm wave has been furnishing this lo- cality with a more torrid article of weather than we have had for some time, the ther- mometer reaching in the shade %0 degrees a1d in the sun 115. AN OREGONTAN'S LUCK Said to Be One of the Heirs to a Great . Fortune. LAND IN PHILADELPHIA. Leased by an Ancestor for a Period of Ninety-Nine Years. FORTY YEARS' RENTAL UNPAID. The Lease Has Now Expired and the Property Is Part of the Great City. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 22.—H. W. Gil- lingham, living on a ranch in the Coast Mountains, west of McMinnville, has rea- son to consider himself a lucky man. Last week he received a letter from a brother residing in Ouio making it plain that in the course of a short time, together with several other heirs of Daniel Pegg, he is likely to come into possession of a large fortune. ¥ —= In 1793 Daniel Pegg leased thirty-four acres of land to the city of Philadelphia for a term of ninety-nine years. The land was subsequently parceled out, subject to this lease, as the records are said to show, and in time became part of the great city. For forty years no lease money has been paid, and aside from the property itself there is a large claim for rent against the city. Mr. Gillingham says he heard his mother speak of this lease, but had no knowledge of it beyond the fact that it was for 99 years and that seemed solong and indefin- ite a period that he never bothered his brains much about it. He will shortly leave for Philadelphia to accelerate pro- ceedings in the matter. WEDDED ON A STEAMER, A Former Japanese Consul Married to a White and Pretty Lady, Deep Mystery Strictly Malintalnea as to the Identity of the Bride. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Sept. 22.—Passengers on the steamer Mexico, which called at Redondo to-day, en route to this port, no- ticed a couple who came on board whose actionsshowed that they were either newly- married or about to enter the blessed state. The man was a Japanese, about middle height, good-looking and very in- telligent. The woman was taller than he, dark and evidently mistress of herself and him. # They did not mix with the other passen- gers, but seemed to have urgent business with Captain Hall. In the interview it was noticed that Captain Hall shook his head decidedly and that both the man and the woman seemed to be urging him to do something he did not want to do. Finally, after shaking his head more vigorously than before, the couple de- sisted and with long faces went and sat apart. She was almost crying and he ap- peared to be in a mood for swearing a long and strong oath in his native tongue. Then, however, a change came over Cap- tain Hall, who had been quietly talking to several passengers. He went to the couple and said a few words which had a magical effect. The woman jumped up and down and her swarthy lover grinned and shook Captain Hall's hand. Then they went into his cabin and the purser and one or two others casually sauntered in. There Captain Hall fished out a copy of the mar- riage ceremony which has done yeoman service before in uniting yearning hearts on the briny deep. The man at the wheel had some intima- tion of whyt was coming as he gently swung the wheel around and swerved the vessel’s nose seaward, rapidly passing, beyond all question, the tbree-mile limx%. Then, the tall and happy bride, resting her hand in_the yellow Kalm of her lover, Captain Hall spoke the words that made them one. The Mexica then turned toward 11"osm. Loma and steered into port an hour ater. An effort was made to keep the story quiet, but the passengers told all they knew as soon as they reached shore. They did not know all the particulars and the officers of the boat refuse to talk. The happy groom is George S. Matz- mura, a prominent Japanese graduate of Harvard and former Consul to this coun- try from Japan. His bride’s name is un- known, but it was learned - that she had been a governess for the niece of Mrs. Le- land Stanford. ~ Matzmura had applied at Los Angeles for a license some days ago and was re- fused, the law J:rohibning marriage be- tween whites and Mongolians. [T WAS A WOMAN'S DAY, A Meeting Held in Metropoli- tan Hall Yesterday Afternoon. Addresses by the Supreme Presi- dent of the W. A. P, A. and by the State President. Yesterday was woman’s day at Met- ropolitan Hall. The platform was fitted up with extra decorations on account of the presence of Mrs. Carrie C. Oostdyx of Detroit, Mich., supreme president of the Woman's American Protective Associa- tion. The front of the stage was tastefully draped with pink muslin. At the line of the footlights were palms and flowers and on each side there peered out miniature bears, emblematic of California. The speakers’ stand was covered with the American standard and in front of it was the American shield, surmounted by an outspread eagle, flanked on each side with smali flags, Over the organ there ap- | peared in letters of gold: “Welcome Supreme President W. A. P. A.” The shield of California hung to the left of the organist, and on the right was a fac simile of the State seal of Michigan. The balcony- rail was draped in red and blue festooned muslin and fastened to it were American ags and escutcheons, and the interior of the hall presented evidence of enthusiastic decoration. Besides the supreme president there were on the platform G, G. Baker, Donald M. Ross and State President B. ¥, Hudelson, H. W. Quitzow of the Good Citizenship Committee opened the meeting with a few remarks, which were followed by the ‘singing of “‘America” by the choral society and the audience. . The Rev. C. A. Rabing led in_prayer, invoking ‘‘the blessing of the Almighty on the work of the association and on women who manifest their patriotism in this work."” Mrs. Fried sang with good effect *‘Let Me Dream Again.” At the close of the song Mrs. Oostdyk, the su]pume president, accompanied by several ladies, walked down the middle asle of the hall and the party were escorted to the platform by Chairman Quitzow. The presence of the lady was acknowledged by hearty applause. The supreme president is a tall, well- favored woman of commanding presence. She has a pleasant, intelligent face, which becomes very much animated when she addresses the audience. She was neatly dressed in a black silk gown with the fash ionable puffed sleeves and wore a stylish toque bonnet trimmed with velvet mauve. he prelude wus spoken by State Presi- dent Hudelson, who has just recovered from a severe attack of nervous prostra- tion. He said he was grateful to be again able to be with the people in the work in which the A.P.A.is engaged. He said he had read with great interest the reports of recent events and had noticed that_ the Y. M. L had placed itself on record in favor of the 22d of February as a day te be observed by the organization, but that resolutions do not count unless backed up by action. He reported an increase in the membership and said: .On the 14th of next October the national ad- visory committee of the A. P. A. will meet in St. Louis. It will be the first meeting of that committee and in that city it will be known as A. P. A. day. I doubt not that 100,000 persons will march in procession on that day. It will be a memorable event for it will signalize the first gun of thisoreanization in the Presiden- tial campaign and that gun will be heard from Portland, Me.,to the pebi]e beach of the Pacific, and from the extreme South to the far North. 1 believe that then the people will realize that this organization is in polfucs. . The speaker referred to the increase of membership in the southern part of Cali- fornia and stated that he was ready and willing to go before the people and discuss with any Catholic the questions that have brought the A. P. A. into prominence. He reiterated the statement tbat the associa- tion does not attack any man’s religion, but it objects to any organized religion in- _tf_rfering with the public schools and pol- itics. Mr. Quitzow introduced Supreme Presi- dent Oostdyk, who was welcomed with cheers and applause. After a few words relative to the branch of the association of which she is the high- est officer, she said: I believe in the separation of church and state, in compulsory education and equal rights for men and women. 1do not believe in holding our Boys for twenty-one years before they can assert their rights and at the same time giving that right to men who have been in the country but a short time; nor do I pe- lieve in holding the mothers in political bond- age. The men in this country have, I believe, the boldness and strength of citizenship tu settle this question, but they cannot withont our help. It is essential that we should or- ganize. She spoke of what women had done in the cause of civilization and said that Isa- bella, a Catholic, was to be honored for the part she had taken in_the discovery of this great eontinent, and dwelt on the ad- vancement which is wipisg out all sec- tional feeling in the United States and concluded by saying: In the formation of societies of the character of the A. P. A. and the W. A. P. A. look well to all you would choose for leaders. We are but human and we may all make mistakes. In making your choice be careful to select such who if they make mistakes will make mistakes only of the head and not of the heart. The speaker paid a handsome compli- ment to California and said she thought the people of the State do not realize the paradise God has given them. Past State President Baker spoke of the organization of the Sons of Liberty in 1776, which, he said, had for its purpose what the A. P. A. has now. © Mrs. M. E. Richardson, State president of the W. A. P. A. of California, made a stirring address. She said that although hut three days old the new organization has 2500 names on its roll. She said that the members'of the W. A. P. A. were not -nppeal-in;il as the new. woman seeking to assume the habiliments and manners of man, but to help along a movement that will look out for generations to come and see that these shall be able to read and be able to vote intelligently. Miss Anna Werner Doyle and Professor E. Werner gave a piano duet, after which Baby Mearns sang two patriotic songs. The little one was loudly applauded and the andience manifested hearty apprecia- tion when the supreme president placed a silk flag in the baby hand and she waved it over her head. As the supreme president rose to take her departure the audience gave her three cheers. Three cheers were also given for the other speakers. The last speaker was Donald M. Ross, who stated that he had intended to talk for an hour and a half, but the lateness of the hour prevented him from so doing. He said he intends to show what has be- come of the several $50,000,600 bond issues and will do so at a future time. ' He read some extracts from the Irish Nationalist which he thought indicated that the picnic recently held at Shell Mound by one of the sqcieties of this City was one in the furtherance of the release of Ireland. He said such meetings against America would not be tolerated in Eng- land and that they ought not to be toler- ated here. He expressed a fear that such actions will involve the United States in international difficulties and that it is time to stop them. He delivered a eulogy of the women who are engaged in the W. A. P. A. movement. The meeting closed with a patriotic song by the audience. GAVE THE WAGON A RUN. Practical Jokers Who Made Trouble for the Coroner's Department, Caus- ing & Waste of Time. An effort may be made by Coroner Haw- kins to-day to secure the punishment of two men for giving the morgue wagon an unnecessary run yesterday morning. At 8 A. M. a telephone message was re- ceived from W. H. Ring, saioon-keeper at 38549 Fillmore street, as he sad, informing Deputy Coroner O'Brien that a body was lying on the beach near Black Point. When Deputy O'Brien went to Ring's place he said the finding of the bedy bad been re- forted to him by Robert Clark, a jeweler, iving on Union street, near Laguna, and James Robinson, a ship captain, both of whom were.drunk at the time. }hng said he doubted the truth of the story. Afterward, however, Deupty O’Brien met Clark and Robinon, and they insisted that there was a bod% on the beach, as they had stated to Ring. When Mr. O’Brien went with the wagon to the place designated, he saw two soldiers of the Pre- sidio, John Ashton and Frank Aboy, of Battery I, who told him there was no body at all, but that some bathers during a frolic had been ducking an old inebriate in the water, and when they got through with their questionable fun had left him lying on the beach exhausted. It was this incident which doubtless fur- nished the formation for the story of the body. The wagon was thus given a run of several miles for nothing, and during part of the time thus wasted the wagon was wanted at the Washington-street wharf, where Bostman William Moe had found floating in the bay the body of Frank Ellis, a cook of 10014 Jackson street, who had fallen overboard from the wharf. . The supposition is that Clark and Rob- inson nad something to do with the duck- ing of the old man and, desiring to perpe- trate a practical joke, had the report sent to the Morgue 1n the hope that the victim of their sport would be taken there as a dead man. Coroner Hawkins will look at the serious side of the affair to-day. Death of 8. Corning Judd. CHICAGO, InL., Sept. 22.—S8. Corning Judd, appointed postmaster of Chicago i 1885, by President Cleveland, died at his home in this city to-night.

Jolning Issue With Those Who Are Denouncing Members of the Catholic Church. At tbe morning service of St. Patrick’s Church yesterday Father James P. Fer- guson delivered a sermon directed against those whom he regards as perse- cutors of the Catholic Church, and ex- pressed regret that strife should be stirred up among the different denominations. He said: The founders of the republic put themselves on record as opposed to any- thing savoring of the bigotry that the A.P. A are now propagating. They had bitterly experienced the evils of persecu- tion in the countries from which they had emigrated. That persecution was not Catholic. With its evils vividly impressed upon their minds, the Catholics of Mary- land, the Puritan of New England and the Quaker of Pennsylvania declared in the first Congress that no man should be dis- criminated against because of his religious belief. It 15 now more than a hundred years since this principle was embodied in the organic law of the land. To-day a set ¢ I bigots seek to nullify it. They ignore the spirit and trample on the letter of the constitution. They seek to revive prejudices which it was the mission of America’s institutions to destroy. They would open controversies which have been happily settled in every nation of Christen- dom after centuries of bloodshed. A free press and free speech are the watchwords they employ to deceive their dupes.. What ~Catholic is opposed to either? Without them he would have no security against the calumnies circulated by his enemies. The Catholic is shut out from a fair Rearing in papers controlled by the A. P. A. Their only conception of a free press is the freedom for themselves to abuse and vilify Catholics. The freedom of the press, in its largest and best sense, has no greater enemies than the members of the A. P. A. have groved themselves to be. They are goaded to madness when the Catholic side of the question finds an entrance into the columns of the press. Through that part of the press—over which they have no control—came the ex- posure of their spurious encyclicals and their silly rants about arms stored in the basements of churches. Senator Hoar took occasion in a speech the other day to praise the gallantry of the Catholic Union soldier, Plunkett, who, on the parapets of Vicksburg, with both arms shot away, clung with the stumps to Old Glory, and thus saved it from capture. Forgiving this f]'usr meed of praise toa hero who had fought and bled for the Union, these lovers of free speech have vowed in solemn conclave to inflict politi- cal death upon the senior Senator of Massa- chusetts. The services he has rendered the Nation and his native State in legislative halls will not save him from proscription. The bal- };7([ will be invoked to drivehim from public 0. The speaker said that it was no wonder that the soul of honest Abe Lincoln revolted at the thought that such persons spring into life on the free soil of America. e said that the Know Nothing Society was similar to the A. P. A. of the present. Their cry forty years ago was patriotism, They too professed ihe great- est reverence for Uncle Sam. Yet Lincoln ex- pressed what the speaker considered the senti- ment of an honest man when he said he wanted to emierate to Russia and take des- potism pure and unalloyed the day their prin- ciples triumphed. The speaker said the warn- ing which Josiah Quincy, the Massachusetts orator, addressed to his countrymen forty years ago will not pass unheeded. The doom of the republicis sealed when the bats take the lead of the eagles. The eagles are the Wash- ingtons and Carrolls, the statesmen of the First Congress who had just ruch creatures as the A. P. A, in view when they declared that a religious test should neyer be the measure of a :nn:l’s fitness for holding office, public or Tivate. l)'I‘lle bats are the narrow-gauge politicians. Deluded by these designing leaders, the rank and file of the A. P. A. are not aware that in adyocating the religious proscription of their fellow-citizens they are antagonizing the su- preme law of the land. But the country is awakening to the real danger which menaces it from thfa society. The time is drawing near when all Americans true to their nable tradi- tions will be one in opporition to intolerance and bigotry. ————— Miami is a corruption of Mishmerah, meaning “stony rive: |ofant Health SENT FREE .
