Marriage of Charles W. Short and Miss Louise Hutchins. Mining News. OROVILLE, CaL., Bept. 28.—Mathias Michaelson, a member of Germania Lodge No. 116 of San Francisco, died at the Odd Fellows’ Home here on Saturday night. This is the first death that has occurred at the home. Deceased had suffered a long time from an incurable malady. He was an inmate of the home but weeks. The remains were buried at Oroville. Everything at the home is going along smoothly. The new gas machine fure nishes the required number of lights. The number of inmates at present is thirty-two, all of whom feel content with | their new home and pleasant surround- ings and modern conveniences. A happy wedding took place at the residence of J. 8. Hutchins, the Central House, Wednesday evening. Charles M. Short and Miss Louise Hutchins were united in marriage by Rev. D. M. Birming- ham. After the ceremony the guests re- paired to the banquet-room, where a fine supper was spread. The tables were arranged in shape of a cross and were beautifully decorated with flowers. Mr. Short has been manager of the Williamson orchards for some time. He has accepted the management of a large farm at Blaine, Wis.,, to which place he and his bride started on Thursday morning. Several of the leading orange-grove owners of Palermo have disposed of their |'crop of oranges for this season on the | trees to a representative of Porter Brothers of Chicago. They expect to ship about forty carloads. Colonel Frank McLaughlin, one of the leading mining men of this State anda resident of Oroville, has cleared his title to the Rock River mine near Oregon City. He has assumed management of this prop- erty and let contracts for the erection of a power-house, hoisting works, blacksmith- shop and other necessary buildings. A force of men will commence at once to clean out the old shaft, which was sunk a depth of 250 feet, and open up the mine. Colonel McLaughlin has the manage- ment of several of the largest paying mines in this section, although they are all worked on a large scale. The handling of this once famous property will eclipse anything around here in the way of devel- opment. The famous French banker, Pioche, who was well known in early mining history, took from the Rock River mine more than $150,000. The ore was handled by him by roasting process. Years after his death many valuable specimens were found. In the settlement of his estate the property became involved in litigation, necessi- tating the employment of a keeper for many years. Later it was discovered that apatent had never been issued for the property. On making this discovery the present owners had the records and maps examined, and when the proper time was reached covered the locality with zmining locations. David Daniels, the last foreman in charge of the property, says that the ore was exceedingly rich at the time of the sus- pension of work. Some rich rock was taken from about two feet in the ledge at the Big Betsy mine yesterday, showing considerable free gold. A rich body of free gold was struck at Crystal Hill this week. G. W. Price, the manager, will at once commence the erec- tion of a fine residence on the property. The Golden Summit mining district, near Lovelock, is presenting a lively ap- pearance at present. The Golden Bummit mine, owned by Senator George C. Per- kins and others, was recently reopened and the mine put in condition for develop- ment, under the superintendency of Chbarles Kane. The incline is down 220 feet. A fine rich ledge 5 feet wide has been struck, and enough quartz taken out to keep the 10-stamp mili running day and night. Twelve hundred cords of wood have been delivered out of a contract for 2000. A new office and residenca ara fast nearing completion. About seventy men are employed in the mine and cutting wood. 5 Tne Jones Bros.’ mine is averaging $10 aday to each man. Four men are washing a channel 25 feet wide. They also have a tunnel in 1000 feet. Several tunnels, owned by different parties, varying in !engm up to 300 feet, are producing gold in paying quantities, o Sudden Death at Santa Ana, SANTA ANA, CaL, Sept. 25.—Sarah Catharine Dillen, wife of Francis Dillen of this city, died suddenly last evening while her husband was absent, She was found dead in bed when he returned. Heart fail- ure is supvosed to have been the cause. FVENTS AT STANFORD Professor Myers Goes to the University of Washington. SUCCEEDED BY A SENIOR. Solon Shedd Appointed an Instructor in the Laboratory. FOOTBALL TEAMS ACTIVE. Lively Contests for the Interclass Champlonship Are Prom=- Ised. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Sept. 28.—The announcement was made by Pres- ident Jordan yesterday that Henry C. Myers, instructor in chemistry at this university, had received word of his ap- pointment to a full professorship of chem- istry in the University of Washington. Dr, Myers is a young man, barely 31 years old, but has already done much scientitic work in his special line. For nearly two years he has occupied a position as in. structor of chemistry here, and has made himself very popular with students and faculty alike. He will soon leave to take up his new work in the university that has sqeured him. Dr. Myers took his Ph.D. degree in Strassburg, Germany, in 1891. Before coming to Stanford he had practical work for two years with the Haskin Wood Vul- canizing Company of New York, where he was the consulting chemist. Solon Shedd, a senior, will take the place left vacant by Dr. Myers. Arrangements are being made for a match gamej of baseball between the Olympics and Stanford, the proceeds to go to Stanford’s football fund. Thus far no definite settlement has been reached. Most of Stanford’s nine are in poor condition for play, though it would take but a few days to get the men in shape, provided they are willing to play. Captain McLaine of the college team is not averse to the idea. The Stanford Cycle Club has reorganized for the year, and held a meeting recently at which the following officers were elected : Charles Frazier, '98, president; George Vanderveer, '9, vice-president; M. L. Anfenger, '96, secretary and treasurer; W. B. Roper, '9, captain. A moonlight run took place last evening. Efforts are being made by Treasurer Hinsdill of the associated students to secure a room in the Stanford museum for placing trophies of Stanford students’ prowess. There are football banners and prizes, baseball prizes, spoils taken by redoubtable debaters, and many other interesting curios won by Palo Alto ath- letes. It is exvected that the room will be secured. Yesterday the '98 football men met and elected Stewart Cotton captain for the coming season; the sophomore eleven will make a hard try for the interclass cham- pionship this year. The freshmen show commendable enterprise, and their man- ager has posted a notice requesting all candidates to appear for practice. A schedule of intercluss games has been arranged, and the competition for the prizes offered this season is bound to be hot. Lifforts are being made to get the Stan- ford Band under way. Last night Adolph Kaufmann, '96, was elected leader. To- day he declined the appointment on the ground of university work. Another leader will soon be elected and the band pegin regular practice. The sophomores held a meeting to-day, and elected the following officers: Presi- dent, William Sutherland; vice-president, Jerry Lilliard; secretary, Miss Marsh; treasurer, Dan E. Williams; football man- ager, H. N. de Wolfe; historian, Miss Hyde; baseball manager, Thomas Storke; sergeant-at-arms, Clarence Riggins. SCHOOLS OF SAN' MATED, Redwood City’s New Educa- tional Institution Opened to Scholars. Radcliffe Hall, Belmont’s Young Ladies’ Seminary, Now Ready to Recelve Puplls. REDWOOD CITY, Oav., Sept. 21.—The Union High School has just entered upon its field of usefulness, commencing with forty-eight pupils. Hereafter schooling in all the grades, from the kindergarten to the university, will be within the reach of residents of San Mateo County, so that parents can make their homes in the county without any loss of proper educa- tional facilities. There are several well-known prepara- tory schools in the county. Reid’s school for boys, located at Belmont, is comifort- ably housed in the splendid building erected by the late Mrs, William T. Ra-l ston after the death of her husband. The surroundings are attractive, picturesque and healthfnl, The young men who at- tend the school are noted for their intelli- gent faces and gentlemanly demeanor. Radcliffe Hall, a young ladies’ seminary, just prepared to receive pupils, is also located at Betmont. Tie school is owned and will be conducted by Mrs. Alpheus Bull. The premises inciude the famous Ralston bome and its elegant grounds, in all something over forty acres of land. This property was until recently owned by the Sharon estate, but there has been an outright sale to Mrs. Bull. This is the property around which all the memories of the late William T. Ralston are clus- tered. The place had always been kept up in fine condition and is now practically in the same order as when it was the scene of Y{rmce]y lmsgitllity as dispensed by alston. Within its walls the miilionaire boards of trade from across_the continent, United States Presidents, Senators, diplo- mats and financiers without number found a welcome. Here General U. 8. Grant was entertained on arriving in California after bis trip around the world, and he; Lord and Lady Hesketh received their friends at a marrilge feast that was regal in its splendor, In the vicinity of San Mateo there are iwo good schools. One of these, Brewer's Academ!y;, has more than a State reputa- tion. The new buildings recently erected for this school iie along the rising ground just back of San Mateo, between that town and Burlingame. It will rank with any academy of its class in the State. Eighty- three acres of land are included in the school premises. Military training is a rominent feature. * * * Tying just ack of Bm-l_lnfame, on the old Redington place, is Hoitt’s School, a good institation, situate under the very shadow of the ™3 metropolis, yet resting like a bright gem in the foreground of some 400 acres oi lovely wooded slopes. * * * The public scheol buildings of San Mateo County indicate the hofii that the educational idea has upon the ople. At Colma, San Mateo, Redwood City and Menlo Park large modern school structures have been built, nnging in cost from $15,000 to $40,000 each. * * * With publicschools everywhere, private schools of the highest class in various parts of the county and the Stanford University only a few min- utes’ ride distant, San Mateo County is gradually taking its place as an educational center of note. A FORTY THIEVES OF TULARE. Four ILeaders of the Notorious Gang Have Been Apprehended. HANFORD, CaL., Sept. 28.—In the past ten days officers have accomplished a great deal for Tulare and Kings counties, for the gang known as the “Forty Thieves” has been brought to time. This band has ter- rorized the farmers in the northeastern part of this county and around Traver for the past eighteen months. Four of the ringleaders are now in custody. They are John Johnson, Ells Jefferds, Ben Barlow and Claud Armstrong. Other arrests will follow. Johnson’s preliminary hearing took place yesterday and he was bound over. Barlow confessed, implicating many oth- ers. Great credit is due Special Officer Frank Griffith and Constable Harry Bern- stein of Kings County and Deputy Sheriff Frank Hafley of Tulare County, who have spent much time and money in appre- hendintg the worst gang of thieves that ever infested this or Tulare County. Pl WON BY BLACK. Carries Away the Gold Medal in the High School Wheelmen’s Race.

Number of Fast Horses That Will Be Seen at the Coming County Fair. SANTA ANA, CaL., Sept. 28.—A heavy desert wind prevailed here the fore part of the week. A good deal of corn was leveled and oranges suffered somewhat, but the damage, as a whole, was insignificant. It is now almost an assured fact that Orange County will have a fine new $20,000 jail located upon the Courthouse grounds in this city in the near future, The Super- visors are examining various plans which have been submitted to them and expect to make a decision on the 30th inst. Santa Ana’s system of water works is an ncreasing source of price to the citizens. The supply is obtained from three artesian wells, each about 310 feet 1n depth, which flow into a large covered reservoir. The water is pumped from the reservoir, under a minimum 60-pound pressure, thronghout the town. On Tuesday, which was one of the warm- est days of the season, 520,000 gallons of water were used in twenty-four hours. The plant was erected at an original cost of $60,000, and is owned by the city. Water is supplied to families for household and lawn use for $1 per month. Work will be begun immediately on the paving of two more blocks on Fourth street, from Main to Spurgeon. The pave- ment will be asphaltum, with porphyry gut- ters. The contract was let at 207 cents per foot for the pavement and 253 for the gutters. A bond of $2500 has been filed under which it is stipulated that operations must be commenced by October 1. Birdroe, who paced the heat in 2:113{ at San Jose Wednesday, is owned by John Baker of this city. The mare was never entered in a race until this year, and her performances have been a great surprise to most Santa Ana people, excepting of course her owner. Banta Ana is also the home of the great Silkwood, 2:07; Klamath (Tom Raymond’s Cookey), 2:08}4; Nut- ford, 2:15; Ketchum, 2:16}, and a whole army of other speedy ones, including Tom Morris, the sprinter. The race-meeting of the Orange County Fair Association, to be held here October 15 to 19, promises to be the most success- ful one in its history. The list of entries is exceptionally large and includes the cream of Pacific Coast track stock. On Friday, the 18th inst., Silkwood, Diablo, W. Wood and Waldo J will meet in the free-for-all pace, when the race rec- ord for the coast, 2:07, made by Silkwood on the Santa Ana track, will undoubtedly be lowered. The track, whichisone of the best west of the Mississippi, is very fast this year. SR S SANTA MONICA INNOVATION. Advent of Trained Women Nurses in the Soldiers’ Home. SANTA MONICA, CAL., Sept. 28.—Miss Anna Boyd is the first of the contingent of trained hospital nurses to be introduced at the Boldiers’ Home here. The duty of initial superintendence of the force de- volves upon Miss Boyd, and her capability impresses all who have met her. Miss Boyd's coming marks a new era in the hospital management. Hereafter the sick wards will be graced by the presence of women as nurses. Nearly all the six Eastern branches have employed them for several years, and it is now intended to make the service universal. The veteran who has waited upon the sick, although animated by a sense of duty and comrade- ship, cannot give the innumerable atten- tions which come from the.hands of trained and experienced women nurses. gl Sy SAN’I'A MONICA IMPROVEMENTS. Progress of the Work on the New Wharf and the Methodist Tabernacle. SANTA MONICA, CAL., Sept. 28.—The new pleasure wharf of the Santa Fe is about half completed, extending seaward 250 feet.

CREW ESCAPED TO THE SHORE. Gross Carelessness Said to Have Been Responsible for the Disaster. SEATTLE, WasH., Sept. 28. — Seven Alaska miners who came on the steamer Morrill to-day from Bering Sea bring par- ticulars of a collision late in August on the Yukon, 300 miles up, between the Alaska Commercial Company’s steamer Arctic and the P. B. Weare of the Northern American Transportation and Trading Company’s line. The former was sunk, and but for the fact that the Arctic was close to the shore, the miners say, every human being aboard would have been drowned. It is alleged that no bells were rung or lights displayed, everything indicating thai the collision resulted from careless- ness. The Weare was ascending the stream while the Arctic proceeded down the river. The boats crashed together at 10 o’clock at night on the left hand side of the stream. The Arctic attempted to pull in to shore. The Weare bore down, cutting across her course, being also apparently bent upon making a landing. The Weare struck the Arctic forward amidships on the starboard side and cut through her hull, displaced timbers and demolished steam pipes. For- tunately there was no explosion. Some days later the Arctic was raised and repaired sufficiently to carry her pas- gengers down to St. Michaels. st ot SHATTLE WATER-FRONT NEWS. Arrival of Two Schooners With Heavy COatehes of Seals. SEATTLE, WasH., Sept. 28.—The seal- ing schooner Willard Ainsworth, Captain Crocker, arrived in port to-day, her sea- son’s work yielding 17,000 skins.

The Ainsworth left Sand Point, Alaska, in July, and was in Bering Bea but one month. The sealing schooner M. M. Morrill, Cap- tain Edward Contillion, ten days from Unalaska, Cape Flattery, brought up in port this morning, having taken 1000 skins, nearly half of which it took in Bering Sea. On September 10, while in Bering Sea, one of the Morrill’s cannon exploded, so badly injuring Matt Benson, one of the sailors, that his leg had to be amputated. United States Naval Engineer F. A. ‘Wilson, who arrived in this city last night direct from the Mare Island Navy-yard, to-day began his inspection under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy of the machine-shops and plant of Moran Bros., the Seattle Drydock and Shipbuiid- ing Company, which was recently awarded the contract for constructing a Govern- ment torpedo-boat.

The Proposition Being Seriously Con- sidered by San Jose Workmen. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 28.—At a meet- ing of the Labor Exchange, last evening, the question of opening a grocery-store was discussed at some length.y It seemed to be the opinion of the meet- ing that as soon as sufficient funds were in the treasury a grocery-store should be opened, where checks representing so much labor would be exchanged for goods. One member has offered $3000 worth of property to the exchange on condition that it build a railroad to Alviso. -+ It is thought that such a road coula be built by paying the laborers in scrip, re- deemable in goods at the Exchange store. Although the Exchange has been organ- ized but a short time, it has a membership of 108 and over $300 in the treasury. e LOS ANGELES BOULEVARD. A Fine Dyive to Connect Elysian and West Lake Parks. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 28.—A boulevard 100 feet wide, between Elysian and West Lake parks, is one of the possi- bilities of the near future. G. A.

The Justice of the Peace who issued the warrant and who held Forman to answer is the agent of the Southern Pacific Company atSan Fernando. An application will at once be made to the Superior Court for Forman's release on the ground that the testimony does nqt warrant his detention, and that the warrknt for Forman’s arrest never passed through the District Attor- ney’s office, and the examination was held before a Justice who is in the railroad’s employ.
