Oregon Democrats Desire the Head o Collector Blackman. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. i6.—Collector of Internal Revenue Blackman is said to fear official decapitation on account of charges filed against him by the Democratic State Committee. The charges were filed almost a year ago, but so far no action has been taken by the department at Washington. Tt is said that he put his wife in office at a salary of $1200 and that she did no work. It was performed by other clerks. The matter has been dormant, but members of the State committee have written to Washington demanding action and they expect it soon. The greatest difficulty is nis persistence in keeping a Republican chief deputy, J. F. Davis, in office while many Democrats want the position. He promised months ago to dismiss Davis, but has not done so, which is the occasion of Jetters to Washington. al Democrats count on the enmity of Van Senden, private secretary to Carlisle. Van Senden desired the appointment of J. A. Munday of Washington to the Revenue oflice, and was chagrined at the appoint- ment of Blackman. toward whom %10 has no feeling of friendship. The charge against Blackman of employing his wire, while she did no work, is practically ad- mitted by him, and he attempts to excuse the action and has since taken her out of the office. BOY BURGLARS AT FRESNO. Two of the Trio Landed in Jail and the Third One Rides a Blind Baggage. FRESNO, CaL., Oct. 16-—The police are satisfied that a trio of boys of this city were the burglars who made a clean-up of the gunstores of the town the night before last. Two of the boys, Bert Short and John Hicks, are in jail. The third one, Walter Robinson, has left town and the authorities are unable to learn where he went. It is supposed that he left for the north on the blind bageage of this morn- ing’s train. On the night of the robberies these three boys were seen about town until after 1aid- night, when the robberies occurred. Sev- eral rocks similar to those used in break- ing the windows in the places burglarized were found upon the two boys who were arrested. Itisalso known that they have been trying to dispose of pistols at differ- €ent places around town.

ASHLAND, Or., Oct. 14.—The First Presbyterian Churech of Medford was burned to the ground last night and with its contents was a total loss. The fire was first discovered in the basement and the whole building was rapidly in flames. The church was being used temporarily for public-school purposes until the new 314,000 schoolhouse now under construction shall be finished. The orizin of the fire was undoubtedly incendiary and the work of the same fire- bug who burned down Medfo hand- some schoolhouse a few months ago, be- sides setting fire to other buildings. The community is again terror-stricken. as it is expected the tirebug will do as he did be- fore, follow this up with other fires, and many predict the fiend will burn down the new schoolhouse as soon as it is finished if he is not caught before. The people are exasperated and should any one be caught in the act extraordinary remedies would be applied.

STOGCKTON, CarL., Oct. 16,—William S Barnes in the course of his brilliant ad dress at Mascnic Music Hall last evening advanced tke 1dea that Americanism and Odd Fellowship were as one.

At the morning session there was a three-cornered contest between San Fran- cisco, Los Angeles and Santa Cruz for the next encampment. The delegates from each place extolled the advantages of their home city, and there was no end of pri- vate work among the delegates for votes. The first two ballots failed to decide the matter, and on the next ballot Santa Cruz received 77 votes, San Francisco 43 and Los Angeles Santa Cruz was duly de- clared the winer. The Odd Fellows of San Francisco have been particularly interested in the de- cision of the committee on appeals. This committee was composed of E. P. Black, P. G. P., No. 57; A. 8. Ward, P. G, R., No. 34, and H. D. Richardson, P. C. P., No. 38. This committee has approved the action of Grand Patriarch Roesch in consotidat- ing the Good Will and Golden Gate en- campments of Ssn Francisco, and his de- cisions, without exception, were sustained. An amendment has been offered by the committee on legislation to the seventh article of the constitution of suborninate encam pments ding a new section pro- viding that two or more encampments may consolidate and providing for the methods of effecting the comnsolidation.

A Difference of One Hundred and Twenty-One Thousand Dollars. SANTA ROSA, Car., Oct. 16.—The suit of the Santa Rosa taxpayers against the City Council and others interested in the bonds and the construction of the new water works has been filed in court. The taxpayers are greatly in earnest in this matter. They are aware, of course, that the bonds for the construction of the water works have been sold to Robert Effey of Santa Cruz, but they are not aware, as they allege in their complaint, that the price, $161,000, has ever been paid for these bonds. The taxpayers are anxious to know what the people of S8anta Rosa will' get in return for the $161,000 worth of bonds al- leged to have been paid for. It issaid that these bonds were given in payment of the work contracted for. But Effey is under no bonds to perform any work whatever, and he has already let the contract to an- other man, Saul B. Perkins, who has given bond only in the sum of $40,000 for the faithful performance of the work now estopped by the suit pending. The plaintiffs in the suit will ask an explanation of the alleged fact that Robert Effey receives §161,000 worth of Santa Rosa for this work, which Contractor Perkins agrees to perform for $40,000. This margin of $121,000 is suggested by parties engaged in the suit as an explana- tion of Effey’s interest in Santa Rosa, and he taxpayers want to know why the city could not have saved this margin. If the bonds have really been sold as the law re- quires the plaintiffs mean to know where the gold in payment is lodged. The suit now commenced charges the Mayor and each member of the City Coun- cil and Robert Effey with fraud and ille- gality in the whole transaction. . The suit will delay the operationsof the contractors. — SANTA ROSA SC HOOL WAR. The High-School Principal Sues for His Satary.

Now Iin Readiness to March Over the Hllls and On to Monterey. REDWOOD CITY, Car., Oct. 16.—The artillery practice of Light Battery F was concluded to-day, and the battery is now in readiness for to-morrow’s march across the mountains, en route to Monterey. To-day’s firing was at a representation of artillery formed battery front. The ranges or distances shot over were at 3250 vards, 1850 yards and 1500 yards. The interest to-day centered largely in noting the manipulation of shrapnel time- fuse, the object in firing shrapnel being not so much to hit the ground occupied by the enemy as it is to explode the shrapnel in the air at a given spot siightly over and about fifty yards in front of the target, so the pullets within the shrapnel will be dispersed and deal destruction over a large area when the shrapnel bursts. To command a %attcry of guns, each gun trained at slightly varying angles, and | then exEIode each shrapnel at a given spot in the air in front of a target perhaps a mile and a half distant, calls fora rare degree of skill. But this is the practice that Uncle Sam demands, and this is what has been repeatedly accomplished here this week. During the artillery practice, conducted by Captain Morris, there have been no ac- cidents, and it is claimed that Battery F never had an accident with the guns. This is sufficient to show the exact methods which prevail and which go to make up such favorable results as have been secured during the visit of the battery. St FOOTPADS IN SACRAMENTO. A Telegraph Operator Had a Lively Fight With One, but Finally Lost His Man. SACRAMENTO, CarL., Oct. 16.—“Kid” Kyle, a local telegrapher, had a hand-to- hand battle Monday night with a footpad on Twelfth street in this city. He had been passing the evening at a friend’s house in that vicinity and was returning to his hotel when he was attacked by a dog which ran out at him from a neighboring house, “Kid,” who was armed with a loaded cane, retreated from the sidewalk into the middle of the street. Suddenly he heard a voice behind him ery out, “Hold up your hands!” Kid whirled suddenly and struck the footpad wi b the cane across the neck. In his sur- mise at the sudden attack the robber dropped his pistol and Kid immediately closed with him and a fight for life ensued. Each combatant was endeavoring to ob- tain the pictol, and as the men wereevenly matched each prevented the other from picking up the weapon. After a protracted struggle Kid, who felt that he was becom- ing exhausted, managed to trip up his op- ponent and throw him tothe ground. As the robber fell near the pistol, which it was impossible for Kid to get, he ran rap- this evening. Twenty-eight members of the San Francisco encampments assisted in an exemplification of the encampment degrees, idly down the street in search of the police. ‘When the officers returned with Kid the footpad had made good his escape. In this loufity there is an abandoned lumber- yard which bas long been noted as a re- sort for hobos, and several robberies have occurred near the vicinity in past years. HIS HEAD. The Slayer of the Webers Playing the In- sanity Dodge. SACRAMENTO, CarL., Oct. 16.—It is claimed that Kovalev, the Russian exile who is confined in the County Jail on a charge of having murdered F. H. L. Weber and wife, is rapidly becoming insane. His Jong imprisonment and his ina- bility to speak or understand English seems to have turned his brain. His ma- bia while not dangerous is destructive and he breaksall the articles in his cell. He complains of terrible pains in his head. Major W Anderson, who is ng as Kovalev’s attorney, says that he is fully convinced that the man is the victim of a conspiracy hatched against him by Kus- sians in S Francisco, although he admits that the drcumstantial evidence against Kovalev isextremely strong. ey INJURED BY ELECTRICITY.

He had climbed into a tree io trim off some limbs that during heavwy winds interfered with the trolley wiresof the electric streetcar line, and one limbwhich he had partially sawed off fell acrossthe wire. This acted as a con- ductor and h: received a very severe shock. The sudder pain caused him to lose his balance and he fell a distance of twenty feet to the gryund. He was picked up un- conscious and removed to his home, but the extent of his injuries have not asyet been learned. s e Callendine Released on Bail. SACRAMENTO, CaL.,, Oct. 16.—L. L.

REAPIRG THE WHIRLWHD, The Tacoma Commercial Bank Compelled to Close Its Doors. Municipal Disaster Caused by the Crooked Work of an Ex- City Treasurer.
