RIVERSIDE, CaL., Nov. 11.—The long- delayed settlement of the affairs of the Riverside Banking Company, which closed the doors of its bank nearly three years ago, will probably soon be disposed of in some way.

White, by telegraph, to take possession of the bank for them. A The attachment placed by the Sheriff was one in a case in which a depositor of the bank sued to recoyer $2000, the amount due her when the bank closed.

Kain, a well-known carpenter living at 390 Tay- lor street, this morning shot himself in the mouth with suicidal intent, and died at 3 o’¢lock this afternoon.

AFTER FRESN GAMBLERS Ex-Senator Goucher Calls Upon the Officers to Stop the Faro Games. Temporary Check Upon the Operations of Men Who Live With- out Working. FR following Goucher of this ¢ d to-day by Sheriff Scott, Constables Shaw and Albin and City Marshal Woy: Inasmuch as you are tha presumed consery- ators of the majesty of the law, I hereby exer- cise a citizen's right to notify you that at | least two games of faro are being openly con- ducted in this city. 1 further notify you that numerous percentage games, forbidden by sec- tion 330 of the Penal Code, are in bold, de | and brazen operation in many public plac | this city.

Constable Shaw last night warned the gamblers to cease operations and they have complied, temporarily at least. This was before he received Goucher's letter. The officers have several times attempted to stop illegal gambling by arresting the par- ties concerned, but never so far has a jury, no matter how conclusive the evidence, convicted any one. The officers tried it again and agamn without success. There is no question bat that they are desirous of performing their duties. The gamblers seem to be afraid of the Grand Jury, however, as a few days ago they raised a purse of $54 as hush- money for one of their class who threat- iufinl to report their operations to that ody. LANE GOES FREE. The Jury in the Murder Trial Fails to Reach a Verdict.

Lane was a deputy constable at the time, and in an attempt to arrest Canfield, shot him. Lane claimed the shooting was’ acciaental. He was tried and convicted four years ago, but secured a new-trial, which was postponed last week. The prosecution was handi- capped by innbifity to find witnesses, many of whom had’ Jefs the country since the shooting. The charge against Lane will now be dismissed. o A DEATH OF JUDGE BALEY. He Was on the Fresno County Bench for Many Years. FRESNO, Car., Nov. 11.—Judge Gillam Baley, whose critical condition was noted in this morning’s Cary, died this evening. The immediate cause of death was an in- testinal affection.

He was 83 years old. o HOLLISTER'S BOY THIEVES. Two Youths Sentenced to Long Terms at San Quenti: HOLLISTER, Car.,, Nov. 11.—George Beechele and Harry Phillips, the two boys who stole 2000 grain-bags from: the co- operative warehouse here Thursday night, and were captured in San Jose by Chief of Police Kidward Saturday night, pleaded guilty this afternoon to a charge of burg- lary "before Judge Breen of the Superior Court. They asked that sentence be pro- nounced at once, and Judge Breen. sen- tenced Beechele to eighteen months in San Quentin and Phillips to one year.

THEY WILL SOON FINISH. The Trackiayers Have Reached a Point Half Way to the River. FOUR THOUSAND FEET A DAY. Progress of the Construction Force Will Be Rapid From This Time Forward. STOCKTON, Carn., Nov. 11.—The con- struction forces on the San Joaquin Valley Railroad have reached a point nearly mid- way between this city and the Stanislaus River, or about twelve miles from the Mormon Channel crossing. In order to make the best of the present pleasant weather the crews are working from sun- up to sundown. As the scene of operations is now so far removed from the city it has been decided to send a boarding-car out on the line to accompany the men as they move along the grade. This will save the time wasted in going to and from the city. The construction train is now making four trips daily over the line, and hapling six cars of material each trip. This is used up by the gangs as fastasitis un- loaded. The engineers are greatly pleased over the settlement of the Chalmers mat- ter, and the securing of this land removes the last possibility of the work being checked between here and the river. The men are now working on a straight line, and the next five miles are without a curve. There is little or no grade between here and the river, and the programme of putting down 4000 feet daily can easily be carried out. Grant Brothers and their force of eraders are now at work on the last stretch of the grade and wiil finish it in about two weeks. Christmas day will see the track- layers operating within sight of the river. = ST MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED. Thomas Burns, a Well-to-Do Farmer, Missing From His Home.

He had been suffering from injuries received some years ago in ‘a runaway, and one of the purposes of his visit was to seea physician, This he did not do. Mr. Burns’ affairs are all 1n_good shape, and his large ranch, upon which he has re- sided since 1870, is one of the most valuable in the county. He was a very sober and domesticated man, and the members of his family fear that he has met with some accident and is unable to communicate with them. None of his relatives or friends have seen him since the date of his disappearance, and the mystery deepens each day. —_— Shipping Fruit by Wagon. STOCKTON, CAL., Nov. 11.—Two freight- wagons, drawn by ten mules, arrived here from Fresno yesterday bringing a big load of raisins.

CARSON, Ngv., Nov. 11.—The case of James Heney, charged with stealing bul- lion from the United States mint in this city, came up for trial before Judge Haw- ley in the United States Circuit Court to- day. Mr. Heney sat beside his attorney, Hon. William Woodburn, when the court announced: ‘‘The case of the United States vs. James Heney. Are you ready ?” “Ready, your Honor,” said Woodburn for the defense and General Clarke for the State in the same breath. Attorney Coffin, at the request of Mr. Woodburn, was then added to the defense. The court asked that the talesmen who had legal excuses should stand “at the left of the court and be ex- amined.

Counsel Woodburn asked nearly all the talesmen if they knew Colonel Robert Keating of Virginia City, who, the counsel said, “ran the patronage of the mint.” When inquiry as te a juror's politics was made, the court ruled the question out, and decided that politics and religion would ent no figure regarding qualifications. The indictment read to the jury charged Heney with the larceny of $24,000 from the Carson mint in June, 1895.

Western Canada. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 11.—Huge shipments of frozen and salt salmon bid fair, with the large halibut catch of the season, to make this year a phenomenal one in the history of provincial fisheries. The Western Fisneries Company of New Westminster has just sent 30,000 pounds of salt salmon asa first shipment to the market of Manchester, England, and is following this up by another shipment of 100,000 pounds to " Montreal, and 60,000 pounds of frozen salmon are now being ut up for shipment to Montreal and Que- c. This is the first British Columbia shipment of frozen fish to Montreal. Meanwhile each return of the halibut steamer bring in at least thirty-five tons of fine fish, and the example of a Washington State fishery company in smoking large vacks of codfish is certain to be followed without delay in British _Columbia.

Now the Rev. Father Coccola, the energetic hezd of the St. Eugene Mission in_Bast Kootenay, has successfully negotiated the bonding of the “Nip and Tuck” placer claim in the Mis- sion aistrict. Father Coccola, who is locally very popular, has thus further es- tablished his previousreputation as a good business man as well as a devout priest. S Committed to Whittier. SAN JOSE, CAL., Nov. 11.—Claude Cope- land, a 10-year-old boy, was to-day com- mitted to the Whittier Reform School by Judge Reynolds.

PECTED 70 DIE. Denial of Sensational Stories Conoerning the Czarina. LONDON, Exg., Nov. 11.—A dispatch to the Central News from Darmstadt, the for- mer home of the Czarina, denies the re- port that the Czarina, whose accouchement is now momentarily expected, had under- gene the Cmsarian operation and was ex- pected to die from its effects.

He Steadfastiy Refused to Give His Name or Tell Why He Com- mitted Suicide. Death ended the sufferings of an un- known man, about 40 years of age, yester- day morning at the City and County Hospital, who shot himself through the head in Golden Gate Park on Saturday night, October 26, Some bicyclists, while passing the office of Superintendent McLaren, saw the man lying beside the drive with a revolver clutched in his right hand. Blood was flowing from a wound in the right temple. The man was unconscious when taken to the hospital, but after a time he re- gained consciousness. He positively re fused to give his name or address, ana all entreaties and threats to induce him to do S0 were in vain. There was ncthing in his pockets to lead to his identification. There was a silver matchbox with the inscription “A. P. H. C., Xmas, 1891, but no letters or papers. There was, however, a small photo of the bust of a handsome woman, and from the man’s mutterings she may have had something to do with his suicide. In his semi-conscious mo- ments he would call out for **Pet,” and it was thought *Pet” may have been the woman in the photo. . An operation was performed and the bullet was extracted. It was found im- bedded in the brain on the left side of the head. He was then removed to the City and County Hospital. After the operation he was unable to speak, but he had not lost his brain power as he was able to understand what was said to him and point to any articles he wanted. On Sunday he was given a pencil and paper and asked to write his name and give the reason of shooting himself. He wrote: “I guess not; my secret will be buried with me.” - _Every effort on the part of the authori- ties to learn from other sources the man’s identity has proved unsuccessful and the probability is that after the Coroner’s in- Quest the body will be interred in a pau- per’s grave., The man was dressed in a new pique suit of clothes. The coat was marked in- side the collar, “G. Noschka, Oiympia, Wash.,” indicating that it had been made there. Besides a valuable watch and chain the suicide had in his pocket the match- box referred to. T — ‘Whist Club Officers.

GET YOUR MONEY READY. The Finance Committee About Ready for Subscrip- tions. SAN BERNARDINO'S ACTIVITY. People Who Are Really Sincere Can Now Show Their Feeling in a Substantial Way. All of the citizens of San Francisco who are really sincere in wanting to have the next Republican National Convention held in San Franeisco are now presented with an opportunity to show their feeling in a most substantial way. Yesterday the committee on finance met in the Chronicle building, with ex-Mayor Pond in the chair and Colonel Litchfield at the secretary’s desk. The matter chiefly discussed was that of formulating a plan for collecting the signatures of those who wanted to come in on the conyention project with financia) assistance. Secre- tary Litchfield, immediately after election last Friday, sent out circulars to all the corporations in this section, calling upon them to begin the consideration of sub- scribing something to the Republican Convention fund. Following is a copy of the letter: OFFICE OF FINANCE COMMITTEE ON g REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION, Room 100, Chronicle building. Dear Sirs: A sub-committee of the finance committee appointed to solicit funds to defray the expense of securing the assembling of the Republican National Convention in this City in 1896 will soon call upon you for a subserip- tion. We advise you in advance in order to give you an opportunity to decide what your contribution will be, thereby lessening the labors of the committee by requiring further calls from them. It is necedless for us to eall your attention to the immediate and lasting benefits to be derived by the visit of this large body of intelligent and leading citizens of their different localities throughout the Union to our City and State. We hope, therefore, you will Dbe pleased to see our committee, and trust that you will be as liberal in your contribution as you feel that you can afford to be. Very truly yours, E. B. PoNp, Chairman, J. M. LITCHFIELD, Secretary. This was done at that time so that the different companies could call meetings if necessary and get an opinion from all of the partners interested. The result will not be known until the committee on col- lection has made its first report. Boeits will be issued to the collectors so that no difficulty will arise from subscrib- ing with the authorized representatives of the committee. They will be lettered in alphabetical order, and letter A will be the book used by the collector whose duty it will be to go among the daily and weekly newspapers of the City and County of San Franaisco. B—Steam railroads, steamships, tele- graph and telephone companies. C—Street railroad companies. D—Banks and bankers. E—Insurance companies. F—Hotels. G—National and State officials, H—City and county officials. J—Theaters. Books for the purpose of general can- vassing will also be issued, and the col- lectors will each be sent into regularly laid out districts. Every collector will bear credentials, and the secretary wants the merchants to take every precaution to whom they give money. A most thor- ough canvass will be made, and no mer- chant or professional man who has the interests of San Francisco and the coast generally will refuse to lend at least some assistance. The city will be divided into eighteen districts altogether, and it is but a matter of a few days before the necessary amount will be collected. In the afternoon the executive commit- tee held a meeting and Alfred Bouvier was elected permanent secretary. ‘While no particular action was taken the matter of sending a delegation to ‘Washington was generally discussed and the consensus of opinion as regards the number of delegates seemed to be in the neighborhood of five. Some were for three and some for seven, but five seemed to be the most satisfactory. Three to come from San Francisco and one from the north and one from the south. A telegram from H. Z. Osborn, editor of the Los Angeles Express, indicated that Los Angeles desired two delegates, but nothing definite was done on that point. A move in the right direction was the conclusion to have our Senators and Con- gressional Representatives join the dele- gation in Washington before the National Committee meets in December and act as a sort of advisory committee together with the regular delegates. Another good move was to add the chair- men of the State Central Committees of the surrounding States to the committee to also act in the nature of advisers. Washington, Oregon, Utah, Nevada, Colo- rado, Wyoming, etc., are to be included in this list. It was thoughtto the inter- ests of the movement to secure the assist- ance of our sister States in preparing the plans for winning the approval of the Na- tional Central Committee. A great deal of thinking was indulged in, and the committee will meet again Fri- day and come to some conclusion regard- ing the policy of making the committee large or small. Itis pretty generally un- derstood that five will be the number, as it is thought they will be able to handie all the territory through which they will have to carry on the work of proselyting, The attendance was very good and the committee is certainly working in har- mony. S The outlook for the convention coming to San Francisco is unusually good and our prospects grow brighter daily. The movement has now taken shape, and the complete organization is of such kind that, according to Wendell Eas on, who ilf h:;a_rtt”and soul in the pian, “We must ave it. TOTAL FUND TO DATE. -..877,500 —_——— SAN BEKNARDINO BOOMS TUS. Committees Have Been Appointed to Con- duct the Work. SAN BERNARDINO, Car., Nov. 11.— The movement originated by THE Carr to bring the National Republican Convention to 8an Francisco is bearing fruit in Santa Barbara. In conformity with the sugges- ons of the Board of Trade, at their regu- lar session on Friday, a ass-meeting was held at Channel City Hail to-night for the purpose of securing an expression of opinion upon the matter. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, and by a unani- mous vote it was decided to back Tme CALL up in its worthy fight for the ad- vancement of California, which the bring- ing of the convention 1o San Francisco means. A committee of seventy-five of t vrominent citizens of {hl: city ?’:am:;l-; pointed to solicit subscriptions. A reso- lution was adopted pointing out the ad- vantages that California would derive, and Santa Barbara in particular, by the meet- ing of the National Republican Conven- tion at san Francisco. The meeting was unanimons in te statement that Cali- fornia could not be better advertised or its resources more clearly brought to the notice of the country at large than by the delegates who would attend the National Convention, and that all means should be adopted that would consummate success- fully the grand work that Tee CaLy has undertaken. Mr. Shattuck’s Moose. Charles H. Shattuck, the printing ink menu- facturer, recently returned from a hunting trip among the mountains and lakes of Maine, Mr. Shattuck was so fortunate as to bring down a grand moose, the largest one seen for years in the Sourdnahunk Lake district. The creature was nineteen hands high and weighed 1400 pounds. It was four feet in breadth through the shoulders and the head was mounted with a magnificent set of 15-point horns forty-nine inches across. Mr. Shattuck placed the horns in the hands of a taxidermist, who will for- ward the trophy s soon s it 1s properly mounted. i Commissioner Fitzgerald’'s Position. Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald yesterday said that he had not changed his mind in re- Eard to the accusationsof E. L. Cone against mployment Agent Hansen. He readily ex- onerated Mr. Nevills of the Rawhide mine from all blame, but thought that Mr. Hansen had not dealt fairly with Mr. Cone and his companions. DISCUSSED FAR-OFF WORK Subjects of Interest Considered at the Preachers’ Meet- ings. A Talk on Modern “Rome”—Resolu- tions of Regret for Hanson Irwin. At the Presbyterian Ministerial Union, yesterday morning Dr. Burnett of Mendo- cino City read a paper on the Armenian question, in the course of which he said that the Kurds of to-day are in the same condition as the Sioux Indians were be- fore they were put on reservations. The Armenians, he said, are educated, intelli- gent and shrewd business men. The speaker gave a harrowing account of the persecutions which the Turks heap upon Armenians, men and women zlike. “During the last five years these persecu- tions have been increased by the young Sultan, who has the big-head, There 1s no help for the Armenians unless they, like the Bulgarians, make a successful re- volt. They must be armed for their own self-protection.” If it were not for the jealousies of the Christian powers Turkey would have been dismembered long ago. The speaker added that the Greek kingdom should be transferred from Athens to Constanti- nople. Rev. S.B. Stewart commented on the lack of Protestant missionaries in Ar- menia. Dr. Scott related his experiences with Turkish and Russian custom-house anthorities; 25 or 50 cents, he said, would ‘always buy them. Resolutions of regret for the untime death of Rev. Hanson Irwin were unani- mously adopted. These resolutions, which had been drawn up by a committee con- sisting of Rey. Dr. Minton and Rev.
