So it will be seen tbat the only time Killip did not receive the pool-selling privileges in the last five years was on Angust 10, 1895, under the board appointed by myself.” el s SMHIPPEE RE- ECTED. Will Continuwe as President of the San Joagquin Association. STOCKTON, CaLr., Jan. 4—The direc- tors of the San Joaquin Valiey Fair Asso- ciation met to-day and attested their ap- preciation of the long and faithful services of L. U. Shippee as a member of the board by electing him president again by a unan- selected but three candid | they claim | ago. imous vote, and recommending him for re- appointment by Governor Budd. Judge Hall, the board decided to mortgage the association property in order to pay off an outstanding indebtedness in the neigh- bortiood of §13,000. A determined effort will be made to carry on the fair without the aid of a State appropriation. Some of the members are inclined to criticize Governor Budd for his willingness to aid the fair at Sacramento and deprive the district association of the same assistance. mn N KERN COUNTY PROJECT. .

Ferguson from the posi- tion of manager of the Kern County }‘nnd Company (the incorporated Haggin & Tevis interests), a position which be has satisfactorily filled for five or six years. The responsibilities of this position have been most onerous, involving the handling of an investment of many millions of dol- Jars, the employment of several hundred mer, an annual expenditure of over a mil- lion dotlars and the conduet of the multi- farious details of a vast rangeof enter- It was with reluctance that his tion was accepted, and only after’ ated solicitation on his part. itis understood Mr. Ferguson will soon take charge of one offhe most extensive ater projects ever mooted on e FIGHT FOR A SONOMA ESTATE.

SANTA ROS4, CaL., Jan. 4.—The rela- tives of Vietor Ottmer, the young man who killed himself near Healdsburg a few days ago, will contest Jennie M. Camp- bell’s claim to Ottmer’s estate. The young woman tried to get possession of the es- tate, produc a letter written by Ottmer, telling her he would give her the estate after his death. They were soon to be married.

SACRAMENTO, Can., Jan. 4.—Mayor- elect Hubbard will assume the duties of his office on Monday next, and the local political aspirants ulling wires in all directions. As yet Mayor Hubbard has tes for positions h will become vacant, whose names 1l present to the Board of Trustees for confirmation or rejec These are: J. 0. Coleman for Supe; endent of Streets, Hiram Johnson for corporation counsel 1d W. F. Renfro for Mayor's clerk. 1t is claimed that the Democratic mem- of the City Board of \Trustees held a us yesterday and agreed to nominate stee John Leonard for chairman in ce of W. D. Lawton, who retires from e board. As they arein the majority, ere is no doubt but that his election to the chair will be encompassed. In the matter of clerk of the board a lively dis- sion is said to have ensued. James roll, a local politician of Democratic i has been making a hard fight for the posit and had the iriendship of a poriion of the Trustees, but one of the { party in power would have none of him, absolutely refused to enter the caucus roll’s name was to be mentioned. t was deemed very advisable to have ct unity in the board, M. J. Des- s name was substituted, and he will probably receive the position. For the other positions in the gift of the corpora- tion, there are such a host of. applicants that there is no possible chance of picking ners. 7The appointment by Governor Budd of Russ D. Stephens as a member of the State Board of Horticulture, vice J. L. Mosher, whose term had expired, has aroused the mosity of the Democratic faction of the city. with whom Stephens seems to be not a favorite; not but that every one conceded his absolute fitness for the position, but that he has been one of the rongest adherents of the old-line party, which battled so fiercely with the reorgan- izers in the last gubernatorial election. The latter won, but they have never for- given their erstwhile opponents. When questioned on the subject, Governor Budd stated that as the office was simply hon- orary, without salary, he did not deem it one of a political nature, and as he ardently desired to bring the board to Sacramento, as this was the central point of fruit shipment, he believed =Mr. Stephens to be well fitted to forward the aims of the board, and consequently selected him. . ‘“Without doubt,”” continued the Gov- ernor, “the fruit_industry wiil become the industry of the State, and it is proper that it receive full recognition. In conversa- tion with Harbor Commissioner Colnon on the subject we agreed that a certain vortion of the water front in San Fran- cisco should be set aside for the use of the fruit interests. The lumber, fish, brick and sundry other industries all bave their allotred portions, and during the coming mone w | season the fruitmen will also be recog- nized.” HALEMOON BAY DISISTER, The Identity of the Three Men Drowned by the Capsizing of a Boat. Captain Whitney’s Two Companions Were Young Men From St. Louis. REDWOOD CITY, CarL., Jan. 4.—Cap- tain Whitney and two companions, be- lieved to have been Gearge A. Schulze (a metal-worker, aged 22 years) and Fred C. Wenige (of about the same age), both well-connected young men of St. Louis, prove to have been the men who were drowned in Halfmoon Bay several days The first authentic news of the dis- aster reached this city to-day. The unfortunate trio came down the coast in a small boat, and put into Half- moon Bay for repairs. On resuming their trip the boat was capsized in the surf. The bodies were not recovered. T. K. Schulze of Oakland, a brother of one of the young men who were drowned, was in town to-day and offered a reward of $30 to the finder of either or both of the bodies, This amount will probably be in- creased as soon as the parents can be tele- graphed to. Both young men were members of Fu- ture Great Lodge No. 276, K. of P., of St. Louis. They were last seen alive in Qak- land on Thankseiving day. They were going to Santa Barbara to seekemploy- ment and have not been heard from since. It is believed they met Captain Whitney, joined him on his trip down the coast, and were lost. s Bought by a Seattle Man. SEATTLE, Wasn., Jan. 4.—Captain E. E.

His Body Cast Into the Flames of His | Home, Which Had Been Fired. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Jan. 4—A mys- terious and shocking murder took place last night about 10 o’clock at Peter De- ville's roadhouse, about four miles east of | this city, on the Whittier road, the pro- prietor being the victim. The last seen of him alive was about 9 o’clock last evening, when several parties stopped at his place. They all left a few maoments afterward, as he was about to shut up the store. Later the structure was seen in flames. It was thought possible that Peter had escaped, but he was nowhere to be found. When the flames had somewhat sub- sided & search was instituted by the deputy sheriffs who had been summoned, and in the ruins the charred body of the proprietor was found. There was no means of telling, in the examination that could be made at the time, whether the unfortunate man had been murdered be- fore he was incinerated or whether he had been stunned and his unconscious body thrown -into the fire, which had been kindled by his slayer. A further investigation disclosed the fact that kerosene had been freely used through the house, and nunder the floor of the hall- way the earth was found saturated with blood. As Deville was known to have had considerable money in an old trunk rob- bery was evidently the motive for the crime, and the perpetrators of the murder endeavored to cover it up by setting fire to the building. The affair has caused great excitement here, and several deputy sheriffs are busily engaged in locating the murderer. “French Pete” was an old-timer, and was known all over Southern California. He has always kept a roadside inn, and was a bachelor. He was about 55 vears of age, and many years ago lost his arm while prospecting. He was always chari- table and kind-hearted, never drank much and was always friendly with every one. Those who know him say that he never turned a tramp from his door. A cousin, who had been visiting him for some time, only recently returned to his home in France. SR WEALTH OF LOS ANGELES. The Annual Report of the Auditor Fur- nishes Flattering Statistics.

Mrs. Krouse says that in 1882 she was the owner of two housesand lots in the town of Fairfield, Jeiferson County, Iowa, and that at that time her father came to Ler and told her that he had an opportu- nity totrade that property advantageously, and that if she would sign a deed to the man he would invest for her an amount | of money equal to its value in Los Angeles property for her benefit. This she did and Bryson invested the money, since which time he has made no accounting. Mrs. Krouse now sues for the amount, claiming the present value of the property to be $25,000. e LEFT MUCH TO CHARITX. David Reade Became Tired of Living and Swallowed Poison.

SAN DIEGO'S MURDER CASE. | The Trial of Joseph Ebanks for a Double Crime Opens With a Sensa- tion. SAN DIEGO, OaL., Jan. 4.—The trial of Joseph Japhet Ebanks, a West India negro, for the murder of J. B, Borden and his daughter, Mrs. Stiles, near Oceanside, on September 10 last, began to-day in the Superior Court, after four days’ work se- lecting a jury. The District Attorney sprang a sensa- tion in outlining the evidence that would be brought out, which had been sup- pressed in the preliminary examination, the most important of which was that the pistol which killed the aged couple, and which was known to have been in the possession of Ebanks, had been found in a canyon mnot far from the scene of the crime wrapped in a gunny-sack taken from the tent. With the pistol was a shirt marked “Gibson,”” which Ebanks had stolen from a mgn of that name, and an- other shirt with the same name marked upon it was found on Ebanks when he was captured. All circumstances in this mysterious case point strongly to the guilt of Ebanks, and still there is nothing beyond circum- stances to connect him with the crime. The case will be resumed Monday morn- ing and will consume a week. Lemorol Lo RAID UPON KENNEWICK CHINESE. Masked Men Beat and Rob a Party of Celestials. PASCO, Wasg., Jan. 4—Two men, with red handkerchief masks, kicked in the door of the section house at Kennewick last night, covered the Chinese inmates with guns and commanded them to climb out of bed. They obeved. Oneof the despe- radoes kept his rifle on the Celestials and the other searched the room, rifling boxes, trunks, bedding and everything that might contain treasure., Their search not being rewarded they began beating the defenseless Chinese with their guns, knocking two of them senseless and breaking a gun over the back of an- other. Then they searched the pockets of the Mongols and found gold amounting to over $200. After obtaining this booty they ran down the track toward the Columbia River and disappeared.

A Network of Railways That Will Converge Toward San Francisco. PURE WATER FOR THE CITY. The Spring Valley Company Will As. sist in Tunneling the Elevations. REDWOOD CITY, CaL., Jan. 4.—C. P. Huntington’s recent trip through San Ma- teo County with Charles Webb Howard of the Spring Valley Water Works may mean considerable to San Francisco. Itagain opens up the question of tunneling through the mountain at a point back of Redwood City, so as to connect the ocean side with the bay side of San Mateo county. The result would be that a rail- road built up along the coust would escape the forbidding group of hills terminating in the San Pedro Mountain, which juts out into the ocean just below the San Francisco County line and blocks the way. Surveys have been made around, over and through the San Pedro Mountains, but the obstacles to good railroading are said to be something immense, while the tunnel referred to would afford a means of crossing over to the bay shore and thence to San Francisco on an almost level grade. If a railroad tunnel is built, it has been considered the policy of the Spring Valley Water Works to join with the Southern Pacific Company in 1ts construction. The Spring Valley folks have extensive in- terests on the coast side of San Mateo County, end control enough water over there, which is running to waste into the ocean, to add millions of gallons to San Francisco’s daily supply. Pescadero Creek is the principal stream, but there are several others, and the San Gregorio and Purissima are very important ones. Water will be taken from each. At the present time there is no way of getting the water over the mountains, and the Spring Valley Company could use the railroad tunnel to bring a pipe-line througn, emptying the water into Crystal Springs reservoir among the hills back of San Mateo. Thus, from the head waters of the Pescaderoto San Francisco, there would be a constant supply of pure moun- tain water by gravity flow. If the Southern Pacific goes into the scheme it is safe to say that enough feed- ers to the main line of railroad will be operated on the coast side of San Mateo County to fully occupy or control the various avenues of approach to San Fran- cisco. These feeders wouid tap the ‘“big basin,’”’ a vast tract of virgin redwood tim- ber owned by Timothy Hopkins and others, and lying along the border line of San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties. Pes- cadero, San Gregorio, Purissima and Spanishtown would be on the main line. Such valleys as the San Gregorio and Pi- larcitos are natural highways between the nrountains, and need only an outlet by tunnel to command the coast trade. On one pretext or another the whole coast side of San Mateo County has been crossed and recrossed by survey parties, until every foot of the land and all the distances and elevations are known and carefully tabulated. The area of water- shed and record of rainfall have all been figured out to a nic2ty. The capacity of the streams to furnish motor-power by the use of turbine-wheels has been inquired into, and the generation, local use and transmission of electric power to San Francisco have received the attention of experts. It is believed that with the revival of business the construction of the proposed tunnel would be one of the first moves made by the Southern Pacific Company in order to maintain its control over traffic to and from San Francisco. At the present time there is no sale for bonds and actual railroad construction is languishing, yet the Southern Pacific Company has not been idle, but has taken advantage of every opportunity to strengthen its posi- tion. When the San Francisco and San Joa- quin Valley Railway Company was incor- porated the Southern Pacific Company hurried along its work in San Mateo County. Itimmediately secured the long- neglected rights of way around the bay shore, and it looks as though 1t might soon spring another surprise by bringing a rail- road in fro1a the coast side as mentioned above. Itisnota new idea. Everything is ready. Condemnation proceedings could be commenced almost at a day’s notice. All the country immediately affected by any such a movement was gone over in a buggy by Mr. Huntington and Mr. How- ard, their route being from San Mateo to Redwood City, Woodside, Searswille, La Honda, Hanson’s Mill, San Gregorio, Pu- rissimna, Spanishtown, through Pilarcitos Valley, past Crystal Springs reservoir and back to San Mateo. AN JOSE'S NEW FACTORY, The City Likely to Secure a Glass Manufacturing Plant. Proposition of a Philadelphia Capi- talist Approved By the Board of Trade. SAN JOSE, CaL., Jan. 4—W. S. Boody of Philaaelphia presented a proposition to the Board of Trade last night to establish a glass factory in this city, provided a site of & half acreon a railroad be donated for the plant. The proposition met with favor with the board, and A. C. Darby, C. J. Steeple and A. Greeninger were ap- pointed a special committeee to report on the matter at the next meeting, In mak- ing his proposition to the Board of Trade Mr. Boody said: “I bave thought of establishing a glass plant in California, but obstacles have until recently made it impracticable. The revolution in the method of manufacture which will enable us to use oil for tuel has removed all obstacles, and I made this I trip for the purpose of making definite ar- rangements for putting up a glass manu- factory. There is no objection commer- cially, as the demand for manufactured glass in California would support a large factory. I have talked with prominent citizens of this city, and they are of the opinion that such a concern would be of immense benefit to San Jose. “The resources of myself and those whom I represent are entirely adequate to into. a plant that would cost anywhere from $6000 to $10,000. The number of employes at the start would be from 70 to 100, but in three years we expect that the force would number 500 men. city give us a tract of land—approximately half an acre—with railroad facilities. intend at first to make all common_grades of glass, such as jars, beer and wine bot- tles, etc., but later we would put in a special plant and manufacture all the fine grades of glass.” e DUNLAP DIVORCE CASE., Court Commissioner Montgomery Files His Report of the Testimony.
