It means, also, that the Detroit Drydock Company will build in Seattle two twin-screw boats, as the Board of Naval Bureau Chiefs has recommended to Secretary Herbert that this company be given the contract for the two boats. il el SAN DIEGO’S MURDERER. Jose Hilario to Be Formally Charged With Having Clubbed Mrs. Sandrock to Death. SAN DIEGO, CAL., Oct. 18.—Sheriff Jen- nings and the officers who have been con- stantly at work on the Sandrock murder nce October 5 now helieve they have ufficient evidence to warrant them in ausing the formal arrest of the Indian, Jose Hilario, who has been beld in jail under detention ever since October 9,and a complaint charging him fvith murder was filed to-day. When the murder occurred there was absolutely no other clew. Much time was spent in following three Indians to Des- canso, who soon . proved themselves to be entirely innocent. All the facts in hand were that the woman had been first struck with a club, then stabbed with a knife, and that some money had been stolen from the house. The first suspicion was directed against “ U FRANK DAROUX, A LEADING [From a photogri ol POLITICIAN OF SACRAMENTO, aph by Boysen.] the fact t to both the hench- | e down- gh and uptown t to carry the Re- | in the coming two strong canc field, personal n erstand- t be cast aside for must work to at- enteen years econd 1t time has been in the to employ he alw arly boyhood Darou was to become sutce nd he bent cvery ene his So well informed h - that he is personally acqu and knows the weaknes: d the ion of eyery dent of his district vell acquainted with the rest e of this city and county. confidence and backing of ipulators of his ward, quick of comprehension and determined to get thi at all hazards, he has again snatchec tory from threat- t by making some unexpected ¢ his opponents, which upsetting all their well-laid a ai at posi and of Po: unforese in mov Ited lans.

They made it impossible for one of the Daroux faction to deposit a ballot by crow a compact mass below the polling-place, and the small police force was simp! able to oust them.

That night he got arunk and acted so as to warrant an officer in taking a knife from him, but it was not until four days after the murder that Officer Joe Cota met the man and suggested that the Sheriff wanted to see him. In his bold- ness Hilario voluntarily went to the jail, and in his ignorance waited outside for an hour or more before he was discovered there by officers. In Hilario’s pocket was found a nand- kerchief, which has been positively identi- fied by a daughter of Mrs. Sandrock as having belonged to her mether. That practically settled the case in the minds of the officers. But in the way of evidence still more work was to be done and officers have worked diiigently on the case. A great share of work hLas been done about the Sandrock premises and between that point and the Indians’ hut in the park. One thing they have found there on the hill a short distance from the Sand- b itself, bear ample evidence that it had ut by a left-handed man, and Hilario nanded. rks on the club and on the original h appear to have been made by the knife taken from the Indian. before the murder George Cum- s passed Mrs. Sandrock’s store and gave her a silver dollar with match marks upon it.

ALL GIFTS MADE TO GOVERNOR STONEMAN'S WIDOW ARE CONFIRMED, NOTHING ELSE DISPOSED OF. Three Petitlons for Letters of Administration of the Estate Filed. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Oct. 18.— That which is claimed to'be the last will and testament of Judge Anson Brunson was filed in the County Clerk’s office to- day, and is one of the most remarkable documents of its kind on record. It recalls the sensation which thrilled Los Angeles and, indeed, the whole State a few years ago by confirming all the gifts to Mrs. Stoneman, the widow of the late Governor, ever made by Judge Brunson, and disposing of no other part of his es- tate. It isa holographic instrument and bears the date of February 5, 1894, which was a short time before Judge Brunson left Los Angeles for Henolulu. The will is as follows: For the disposition of a portion of my per- sonal estate, I hereby will that after my death all articles of every description, now or by me hereafter placed in the home and carz of my dear and faithful friend, Mary O. H. Stoneman, shall be and remain her personal and separate property for ever, and title thereto shall per- manently vest in her upon probate of this will without further proceedings in or out of or by any court whatever. ANSON BRUNSON. Dated, Los Angeles, Feb. 5, 1894. This is the final document of a story which attracted such attention throughout California two years ago. At that time Judge Brunson was one of the leading lawyers in Los Angeles, and was chief counsel for the Southern California and Atlantic and Pacific Railway, a position for which he had resigned the Superior Judgeship of Los Angeles County. Judge Brunson became very intimate with Mrs. Mary Stoneman, the widow of ex-Governor Stoneman, and this was one of the causes of a divorce suit instituted by Mrs. Brunson, which resulted in the | separation of Judge Brunson and his wife. Following this he disposed of his property, and broken in health departed for Hono- | lulu. | The will was made just before his de- parture, and was in confirmation of gifts | made to Mrs. Stoneman by Judge Brun- {son. Its fi publicity was given to-day through its filing in the clerk’s office. With the will is a petition of the testator’s | brother, E. Brunson of Redondo, asking | for letters of administration on the estate, which is the third petition of this kind on file in the County Clerk’s office. The Public Administrator filed the first petition on October 11 for special letters of administration, which were issued at once. On October 16 4 request swas made for general letters of administration, the hearing of which had been set for October % Dr. E. Brunson’s petition wiil be heard November 2, but as he is not an heir-at-law in the estate it is more than probable that his petition will be rejected. The only heir at law is a married daugh- ter 27 years of ace, a resident of Chicago, Ili. Itis stated that the entire estate con- sists of personal property valued at about $3000. THe late jurist was an enthusiastic art-collector, and was the owner of a valu- able collection of paintings entirely aside from his other personal property, the value of which it is impossible to ascertain. S TYNDALL’S LATEST EFFUSION. The So- Called Mina- Reader Wants to Hypnotize Holmes. SAN BERNARDINO, Car.. Oct. 18.— Professor Tyndall, the so-calied mind- reader, has sent a letter to the attorneys with a series of murders, in which he says: “‘Having used hypnotism with more or less success in criminal cases, and having proved the guilty guilty and the innocent innocent by compelling accused persons to tell the truth under hypnotic influence, I am prepared to make the following offer: I will place H. H. Holmes, the aileged murderer of Minnie Williams and others, in what is called perfect state of hypnotism and compel him to tell the truth in regard to the particular crimes he is said to be guilty of. If innocent he will doubtless make statements and prove an alibi for- gotten in a natural state, which under hypnotic influence would come out vividly and be the subject of proof; but if guilty he had better keep away from hypnotism, for the truth will come out and his guilt be proven.” Tyndall cites the proving of the inno- cence of James O’Brien, arrested in Los Angeles as Lee Harrold, the Rio Vista murderer, and other instances and con- cludes: “I make the above proposition to you in the interests of science and the prisoner_ if innocent.” THE ROAD UP TAMALPASS, AN ELECTRIC RAILWAY TO THE MOUNTAIN ToP NOW A CERTAINTY. DISCOVERY OF A GRADE WHICH CAN Be CLiMBED WITHOUT THE UsE oF Cocs. MILL VALLEY, CaL., Oct. 18.—Henry €. Campbell and Louis L. Jones, directors of the Tamalpais Land and. Water Com- pany, together with Thomas Magee, the real estate man, and Sidney B. Cushing, representing the San Rafael Electric Light Company, met in Mill Valley yesterday and took a trip over the proposed route of the railroad up Mount Tamalpais. The only obstacle that has caused the projectors of the enterprise to hesitate has been overcome. It will not be necessary to _build a cog-wheel road, as a grade suf- ficient to allow ordinary electric cars to go up the mountain has been discovered. In conversation with a representative of THE Carr, Gus D. Avery, chief engineer of the Tamalpais Land and Water Company, which controls Mill Valley, said: *‘I have not been consulted in regard to the building of the road as yet, butan 8 per cent grade can be obtzined by running the line on the northeasterly slope of the mountain. An 8 per cent grade will allow an electric road to be operated without the use of cogs.” Mr. Avery surveyed the proposed line some time ago, but no action was taken, as it was considered at that time that it would be necessary to make use of cogs. The expense in that case would be too great, and the idea was given p‘p. The route as now laid out will commence at a point between Mill Valley and Sausalito, where a wharf will be built and boats run from San Francisco to make con- nections. Commencing at this point the road will run parallel with the county road to Mill Valley, thence through Blythedale and the Blythedale canyon between tow- ering redwood trees to the base of the mountain, thence by easy stages up the slope of the mountain on the northeast- erly side, giving the traveler a magnificent view of the bay and the surrounding country. On the summit of the mountain between the highest two peaks, in a sheltered spot, will be built a hotel and observatory. A spring has been discovered on the moun- tain near the location of the proposed hotel, and another difficulty, that of ob- taining water without the necessity of car- rying it up, has been done away with. The return trip will be over the north- westerly slope of the mountain, and the traveler obtains an entirely different view from that on the trip up the mountain. To the west can be seen the ocean, and just below the great redwood canyon looms up, iving the sightseer a great variety o! andscape. The road will then come ‘into Mill \'ar]ey proper and rnn through the populated district to the point of com- mencement. ‘When seen by a CALL correspondent the men _interested in the road said that nothing definite as vet could be given out, but work on the road would commence as soon as the right of way was secured and arrangements made with the electric com- pany to supply the power. et BURGLARY AT COVINA, The Postoffice Entered and Looted of a ZLarge Swm. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Oct. 18.—Sheriff Burr to-night received word from the offi- cers in Covina that burglars had broken into the Postoffice at Covina and that §300 had been stolen. , 5 Sheriff Burr immediately dispatched a deputy to the place to make an investiga- tion. No details of the burglary were given to the Sheriff. SAN JOSE DIVORCE CASE WOES OF THE ICARDS RECITED IN A COURT COMMISSIONER'S REPORT. WiTNEssEs TESTIFY THAT THE RE- CALCITRANT HUSBAND BEAT His WIFE. SAN JOSE, Car., Oct. 18.—Court Com- missioner Montgomery to-day fiied his re- port in the divorce case of Marie lcard against August Icard. The Icards were married in £an Fran- cisco in 1888. Shortly after their marriage they removed to this city and until a few months ago conducted a French laundry. Married life was not all sunshine and | roses, as Icard was in the habit of making collections and going off on protracted sprees. A couple of months ago the Icards, after numerous quarrels, agreed to separate, and the husband took the horse and wagon as his share of the property. He went to Los Angeles, from which place he had friends telegraph to his wife that he was dead, and she made arrangements to have his body brought to this city for interment. Later he wrote to her in the hope of effectinga reconciliation, but she refused to haveany- thing to do with him. Several wituesses testified before the Commissioner that Icard beat his wife on frequent occasions. e SYNOD WORK. Appointments of Committees Announced by the Moderator.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE GROWTH OF THE ORDER. NEW CANTONS TO BE FORMED. MARKED IMPROVEMENT SHOWN IN THE MILITARY MOVEMENTS ON PARADE. STOCKTON, Car., Oct. 18.—The forty- first grand encampment of the Odd Fel- lows of this jurisaiction has passed into the history of the order. The city is being rapidly deserted by the patriarchs, and every train carries the members of the cantons to their homes in different parts of the State. No matters of weighty im- portance to the order came up, and the de- liberations taking up a shorter time than usual the members had more time for re- K/ / Grand High Priest W. W.

Grand Scribe Barnes said in regard to the en- | campment: While the numerical strength isia trifle less than that of last year, the personnel of the membership and the general ac- tivity incident to a renewal of business and | commercial prosperity augur well for the future. During the session of this Grand Encampment a subordinate will be organ- | ized at Los Angeles with a membership large enough to more than cover all losses for the past year. A marked improvement was noticeable in the' military accomplishments of the cantons. While the numbers in the grand Grand arshal Thomas Cunningham Issues Orders. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] parade were not as large the appearance was. far better than at any previous en- campment, and more. interest is being manifested by members of the order in the military rank than ever before. Itisnot improbable that several new cantons will make their initial march at Santa Cruz next year. Previous to adjournment Grand Pa- triarch Reed made the following appoint- ments: Grand marshal, Frank Matteson of No.80; grand sentinel, Joseph Foster of No. 58; deputy grand sentinel, E. Dunker of No. 7. The following changes were made in the Lamont and Doran Talking Lodge Matters. [Sketched by @ “ Call” artist.) personnel of the committees: Committee on appeals, R. D. Gummoe, P. C.

P., of No. 33. Grand Scribe Barnes’ financial report shows the funds of the encampment to be in excellent shape. The subordinate en- campients have a membership of 5220, and average assets per member of $32 50, divided as follows: Amount in treasuries of .subordinste encampments, $16,376 47; widows] and orphans’ fund, $350; amount loaned and in bank, $39,587 27; invested in Odd Fellows’ halls, $67,60566; value of real estate, $400; value of regalia and para- phernalia, $21,855 95; value of furniture and libraries, $3054 65; value of cemeteries, $140; value of other investments, $22,490 53.

DROWNED AT VALLEJO. Quentin J. Kane, the Well-Known Sporting Man, Meets Death in the Water. VALLEJO, Car., Oct. 18.—Quentin J. Kane, a sporting and boating character, well known here and at San Francisco, was drowned off the Georgia-strect pier while assisting to make fast the steamer Amador at the end of its early trip this morning. Kane was seen to drop and_fail overboard and several sailors rushed to the srot. Kane's well-known skill in the water, how- ever, deterred them from jumpingin to aid him until too late. 1t developed afterward that Kane has of late been subject to fits, and was doubtless seized by one at this time. He had quite a life-saving record hereabouts, always having been ready to go to the aid of any | one struggling in the water.

PORTLAND, Ox., Oct. 18.—Emily Siring, a 15-year-old girl, living with her parents on Mississippi avenue and Beach street, attempted self-destruction at a late hour last night with morphine. When the girl’s parents became aware of her foolish act they hurriedly sent for a doctor, who, after several hours, succeeded in placing her on the road to recovery. At last ac- counts she was altogether out of danger. The cause prompting Emily to make this attempt upon her life was her father’s refusai to allow her to attend a dance last evening. She brooded over this denial of pleasure until she reached the conclusion that life was something of a blank. “She is the fifth Albina girl who within the past year has attempted suicide for similar rea- | sons, and two of them succeeded in cross- | ing the Jordan. e HANSCOM FOUND GUILTYX.

SEATTLE, Wasu., Oct. 18.—Mine Super- intendent Corey telegraphed to the Oregon Improvement Company officials in this city that he had effectually closed with timbers, dirt and sand the mouth at the slope of the Franklin mines. 1t will, however, be probably a fortnight beforz the black damp settles down wiping out the last vestige of fire. The bodies of the four miners, which are supposed to be on the sixth level, mag not be recovered for four or five days, though they are be- lieved to be beyond the reach of the fire. The repeated horrors at Franklin are beginning to make old miners very sus- icious and loth to work in that ‘mine.

ROUND VALLEY FEUD, RANCHERS INVOLVED IN A TANGLE OF COURT SUITS. JOE GREGORY ON TRIAL. ACCUSED OF HAVING ASSAULTED LITTLEFIELD, THE VICTIM OF LYNCHERS. PALMER'S CASE COMES NEXT. He WiLL BE CONFRONTED BY THE Man He Now SEEKS TO ConviICT. UKTAH, CarL., Oct. 18.—The Superior Court is now engaged in the trial of the case of the people vs. Joseph Gregory, ar- rested on a charge of assault with intent to kill. Gregory is accused of having at- tempted the life of Alfred (alias *“Jack”) Littlefield of Round Valley. Littletield, after the affray in which it was alleged he was seriously cut by Gregory, was lynched in Trinity County for the alleged shooting of J. M. Vinton. Ves Palmer, Littlefield's employer, is the principal witness against Gregory, whom he severely beat in attempting to prevent the latter’s assault upon Little- field. From this affray dates Gregory’s animosity toward Palmer. Lately Palmer was indicted by the Federal Grand Jury for larceny on complaint of G. E. White, the cattle king, Gregory as the principal witness against him. As soon as Gregory’s trial is over Palmer will be tried for grand larceny, and Gregory will there testify against him. Gregory is alleged to have been one of the party that went out to arrest Little- field for the alleged shooting of Vinton, and was a member of the first Coroner’s jury at the inquest held on Littlefield’s body. The later inquest in the Littlefield case began on Tuesday and has not yet been completed. s gk F MANSLAUGHTER. John Ginochio Must Answer for Rancher Burger's Death.
