Those Who Could Not Secure Employ- ment Threw Bricks, Hissed and Howled. CHICAGO, Iiv., Jan. 21.—Several hun- dred tramps besieged the Chicago and Grand Trunk railway station at Forty- nicth and Halstead streets yesterday. They had conerecated in the expectation of being taken to Fish Lake, Ind., to| work on the icefields of a packing firm. The story had gone around among all the tramps at the police stations and railroad yards in Chicago that the packers were in urgent need of what men they could secure for harvesting their ice and would pay §L a day wages and furnish | board and a free ride to Fish Lake. Fo‘ the men gathered at Forty-ninth and| Halstead at an early hour. But when Foreman Burnam of the com- vany appeared and said that owing to the warm weather only twenty-five men would | be taken the crowd of hungry, disap- pointed men became an angry mob. They hooted the foreman, threw bricks at the station, broke part of the partition inside | the building and shattered the south | windows. | A call was sent to the Harrison-sireet | station for a patrol wagon load of police- men. but the officers at the station misun- | derstood the situation and no help was | was sent. Detective Aaron Levy of the Grand Trunk Railway and Agent Weeks | stood the mob off with revolvers, and‘ finally succeeded in picking out twenty- | five men, who were furnished with tickets | and started on their way rejoicing. As the train pulled out at 9: the mob threw bricks and hissed and howled. They loitered in the vicinity for | some time, and did not leave un Agent Weeks told them more men would be ! needed at Fish Lake assoon as the weather | became colder, and unless they went at | once they would not be taken next time. o'clock | SECRETARY 5 Objects to Free Homesteads on Oklahoma | Lands. WASHINGTON, D. C.,, Jan. 21.—Secre- | tary of the Interior Smith has sent a pro- | test to Chairman Lacey of the House Com- | mittee on Public Lands against the pas- sage of the bill agreed upon by the com- mittee last week providing for free home- steads onthe public lands in Oklahoma. The Secretary represents that the loss to the United States under this bill wiil be a little in excess of $15,000,000. The Secre- | tary contends that the proc-eds from the | sales of these lands are to be deposited in | the treasury to the credit of the Indians | to recompense them for the cession of the | lands. If the homesteaders are relieved from payment the Government will be | obliged to appropriate the money to recom- pense the Indians unless the treaty stipu- lations are to be entirely ignored. | et TH PROTESTS.

Edward McLaughlin Defeated Joseph Capron of Chicago. CHICAGO, IrL., Jan.2L.—Edward Me- Laughlin, the Philadelphia billiard player, at theshorstop tournament defeated Joseph Capron, the Canadian, this afternoon in a brilliant game, scoring 400 to Capron’s 217. The loser did not do as well "as last night, and his form indicates he will not beone of the purse-winners. McLaughlir, however, surprised the spectators with his performance. Neither of the players made much of a showing at the start, except for Capron’s bigh run of 57, which kept him ahead of McLuughlin until_the tenth innine. The quiet, careful Philadelphian reserved his strength and skill to the last three innings, when he made 228 caroms by careful posi- tion play ecross the table and at the foot. He also distinguished himself by scoring the high run of the tournament so far, 114, missing a long single-cushion shot. His nursing of the ivories was superb. Score: McLaughlin, 400; average, 21 1-19; highest run, 114. Capron, 217; average, 11 8-19. Sutton, the Canadian, met his second defeat to-night in a game with Maggolio, which was not much above the average. Score: Maggolio, 400; highest run, 72; average, 13 1-30. Sutton, 225; highest run, 69; average, 10 25-30. e For Laces at Omaha. OMAHA, Nesr, Jan. 21.—Palmer Clark of Red Oak, Towa, manager of race meetings, has closed arrangements with' Lord Sholto Douglas, Who Figured in an Unpleasantness With a Butte County Musician. [From a recent photograph.] ternational clash occurred in Oroville this f the Omaha Fairand Speed Association for morning, and Britain’s colors, bravely | a_programme of races to be held in this borne by Lord Shoito Douglas, the direct | City the second week in June. descendant of *‘Black” Douglas and of Lord James Douglas, who took the heart of King Bruce of Scotland in a silver casket to the Holy Land, were trailed in the dust. When the smoke of battle cleared away the eagle and the lion were led meekly enough to a police court to be unleashed | again after satisfactory explanations had | been made to his Honor. The collision occurred at9:300’clock this | morning, as the result of a feud originat- ing in Oroville last night, when Lora Douglas and his theatrical company gave a performance. Petite Lady Douglas sang several songs which seemingly did not please the noble ear of his lordship, and while the Oroville orchestra of five pieces (Professor Barr, leader) was playing its sweetest strains the Dougias stepped before the footlights and apologized for Mrs. Sholto’s poor singing, declaring that she could not render the proper kind of melody when accompanied by such music as Oroville furnished. Now, if there is anything Professor Barr is proud of it is his orchestra, and such a reflection as was cast upon it could not go unnoticed. Calming himself, however, the baton-wielder resolved to sleep over the matter, but this did not remove the desire for gore which the Englishman’s insult had aroused. Barr concluded he must have satisfaction, and this morning he met Lord Sholto and submitted an uiti- matum. 1t was, in effect, that an apology must be made within three minutes or British blood would flow. The Douglas were never accused of cowardice. Sholto himself has a little more backbone than his appearance in- cicates, and he refused to apologize. Then Professor Barr landed a ‘‘duke’ upon the lord’s domain, just to one side of the proboscis, and the lord, feeling the insult, colored up—that is, his eye did. Somehow it happened that four Secre- tary Olneys, in the guise of constables, | were present and the two enemies were separated, placed under arrest and taken battery was placed against them. During the enzagement Lord Sholto had made a feint at the professor, over the shoulder of the jailer, and the oflicers thought Jailer Boyle was being attacked. This caused the arrest of the lord. When the case was called, Professor Barr was released on his own recognizance and his trial set for next Friday before Judge Hills. Lord Douelas explained the supposed attack on the jailer, stating that he was only defending nimself, and was released. He was assisted to his carriage and driven off in state toward Marysvyille, where the company played to-night. Lord Douglas’ left optic was in deep mourning when last seen in Oroville, WILL SERVE OUT THE TERM. _Captain Bermingham Says He Will Not Eetire at Present. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 21.—Cap- tain John Bermingham, United States Su- pervising Inspector of Steam Vessels, ar- | rived to-night. The National Association of Inspectors will meet to-morrow.. Cap- tain Bermingham says he expects to re- main in Washington until February 1 and will not return to San Francisco before the middle of next month. Concerning ru- mors that he would resign his office the captain said: g ‘I have no idea of resigning at present, My friends won’t allow me to.

Y., Jan. 21.—Match- maker Kennedy of the Empire Athletic Club arranged this afternoon a match be- tween Charley McKeever of Philadelphia and Young Griffo.

SANTA ANA, Carn, Jan. 21.—Sheriff | Nichols of this county made an important | capture at Los Angeles Saturday night. On the night of October 12, 1894, a Mexican named Mariano Cuero was murdered on a vacant lot at the corner of Fourth and He lived sev- eral hours after he bad been attacked, but could give no information to aid in identi- fying the assassin other than that his as- sailant was an American. Two brothers named Gleason, tourists from St. Louis, were eye-witnesses of the affair and got a view of the murderer. They returned home and Sheriff. Nichols, who was City Marshal at the time, learn- ing of their knowledge of the crime, cor- responded with them in regard to it for some months. The Gleasons returned to Los Angeles this winter and the Sheriff through their aid located the murderer of Cuero in that city.. He ic G. G. Southern, a former resident of Newport, where he farmed rented land. He was arrested Saturday night and brought here to-night and lodged in jail awaiting preliminary examination. Southern figured in the courts on sev- eral occasions for disturbing the peace, once for burglary and again for assaulting a man named Bolan, and is considered a dangerous man. He takes his arrest very coolly, but Sheriff Nichols is confident that the evidence against him is conclusive. SR e Will Now Get the News.

PROPERTY IN DISPUTE. Great-Grandsons of the British Ruler Seek to Recover Val- uable Land. CLAIMED UNDER A TRUST DEED. Their Uncle Accused of Having Mort- gaged a Large Tract Given Into His Hands for Keeping. SANTA CRUZ, Car., Jan.21.—A pecu- liar and romantic case is bemng heard be- fore Judge Logan of the Superior Court in which 100 acres of valuable land near Aptosis in controversy and descendants of King George IV are litigants. Samuel M. Shortridge and Attorney Mec- Murray, the latter representing Gunnison, Booth & Bartnett, appeared as counsel, the former for the plaintiffs, the several children of John 8. Ord, who sues Ann E. Ord for the recovery of a deed to the prop- erty. The father of the piaintiffsisa re- puted grandson of King George. ‘When the King was the Prince of Wales he married, and one of his offspring was brought to America when a child by a Captain Ord, who gave the child his name. This boy learned his own history after he had attained manhood, and was known as James Ora. He became the father of ten children, of which family John 8. and William M. are here engaged in litigation. Some years ago John gave a deed of trust to William for his (John’s) children. The deed was never recorded, and later William married Mrs. Ann E. Williams, of whom he had borrowed money, giving a mortage on the property in dispute, which she foreclosed. Plaintiffs contend that she hdd knowledge of the deed from John to her husband. The case has once been submitted and was reopened by a cross bill, which Judge Logan to-day held should be only an amended answer opposing plaintiff’s de- murrer. The case will come up for final hearing next week. DEMANDS BIG DAMAGES. A Suit That Threatens the Beet-Sugar In- dustry of the State. SANTA CRUZ, Car., Jun. 21.—A case of great interest to this county, and incident- ally of vast concern to the State, occupied Judge Logan’s department of the Superior Court to-day. Samuel M. Shortridge ap- peared as counsel for the defendant, the Western Beet Sugar Company, whose faz- tory is located at Watsonville. The company is being sued by James Struve, represented by City Attorney Cas- sin of Santa Cruz, for $20,000 damages and an injunction against the dumping of pulp from the factory. Mr. Shortridge pre- sented a demurrer this afternoon to the defective complaint, and the court sus- tained it, requiring the plaintiff to amend the defects. The story of the case is that the plaintiff has a piece of land adjoining the property of the sugar factory and claims that he is being damaged by the operation of the factory. The dumpage is on the land owned by the Western Beet Sugar Com- pany and is as necessary to the making of sugar as the raising and grinding of the beets. . Should the plaintiff maintain his suit at law the county must be deprived of the large industry provided in the raising of sugar beets and the manufacturing inter- ests of Watsonville be zreatly retarded. Having provided its own land on which to dump the pulp from its factory the de- fendant company desires only that it shall be left alone to continue the industry. - Iv is said here that Struve puts a high price on the damages he alleges to have sustained. Mr. Shortridge said to-day that if Claus Spreckels and others engaged in the industry must pay $20,000 to all their neighbors and stop dumping the pulp from their factories, the beet sugar industry would soon be dead in California. ——— YVOTE FOR A CARNIVAL. Santa Cruzans Subscribe Liberally for the 1896 Water Fete. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Jan. 21.—A mass- meeting of enthusiastic citizens decided this evening that Santa Cruz was to have a water carnival this year to equal if not to excel the Venetian festival held on the San Lorenzo River last summer.

Phil Francis of the Penny Press started the fund with a subseription of $50, John R. Chace auicklv promised $500, and after- ward the secretary was kept busy adding names to the list.

Light Fall of Snow Swcceeds the Down. pour of Rain, SUMMIT, CAr., Jan. 21.—For the first time in nine days a break occurred in. the heavy clouds this evening and a few patches of blue sky appeared to the mountaineers almost as an oasis in a desert. For thirty-six hours, up to late this evening, the wind has been blowing al- most a hurricane and rain falling in tor- rents, which is a phenomenal occurrence on the mountains at this season. The snow, which measured seven feet in depth | before the rain commenced, has reduced to less than five feet, caused by the warm downpour. army of watchmen is patrolling the snowsheds, and the least sign of danger cannot remamn long unnoticed. No fur- ther damage has been reported. A large force of men is at work making permanent repairs at the late washout near Cisco, Suow is now falling lightly, but the back- bone of the storm is believed to be broken. ey ot WINNERS AT BAKERSFIELD. Ravena Captures First Prize in the Opening Series of the Field Trials for Bird Dogs. BAKERSFIELD, Cawn, Jan. 2L—The second day of the field trials was far better than the first in point of attendance and fair weather. The storm had cleared up and the sun shone brightly. The location was changed from the Stockdale to the McClung ranch, where there were plenty of birds and better cover for handling the dogs. The first brace were Peach Mark and Jilt, who were put down to finish the trial stopped by heavy rain yesterday. They were down nearly an hour. ‘Then Lady Stamboul was put down to run a_bye, ac- companied by old Sirus, a noted dog in past years. This closed the first series. In the second series the first brace were San Carlos and Black Beauty, and they were down 45 minutes. At 1:20 o’clock Ravena and Peach Mark were cast off and ran 18 minutes. Young Dick and Jilt fol- lowed for 10 minutes. Then San Carlos and Ravera were again run, followed by Lady Stamboul and Black Beauty. Lady Stamboul was finally matched with Peach Mark. At the conclusion the judges awarded first place to Ravena, San Carlos second and Peach Mark third. The all-age stake will commence to-morrow. Thursday will be ladies’ day and on Friday an amateur race will be run. UTAR'S SENATORS RAMED Formal Ballot Results in the Election of Cannon and Brown.

L LOS ANGELES SHOOTING. James Bath's Jealousy Lead Almost to Murder. LOS ANGELES, CaL,, Jan. 21.—James Bath is in a cell at the city jail, charged with assaulting his wife with intent to commit murder. The alleged assault was committed early yesterday morning. Bath drew a revolver and fired point blank at his wife, the ball entering her left hand between the thumb and forefinger. Bath is a laborer and lived at 545 Ban- ning street. He had for some time past been jealous of Mrs. Bath, and had threat- ered that he would shoot her. Whether or not the wife gave her husband cause for jealousy the neighbors do ot seem to know. Yesterday matters- came to a climax, when Bath attempted to kill his wife with 44-caliber bullets. After firing at the woman, he ran out of the house and across the street to a lumber yard at Alameda and Jackson streets, where he hid himself. Here he was found by Officer Ricco and arrested. Mrs. Bath's wound is not serious. She will swear to the complaint upon which her husband will be prosecuted. Mrs. Bath this afternoon made a state- ment, in which she claims that when her husband pointed the reyolver at her she rabbed it. Had it not been for this the ullet would have entered her body. 4 gt Garrett Feted at Eureka.

NEW TO-DAY. ‘The counsel of older womes is of ) inestimable value. EA A mistaken idea of modesty prevents many girls from learning the things @ that they ought to know before _they assume the duties of matrimony and maternity. Women generally take these most important Slegs in their lives, without knowing in any degree what they mean, or what responsibilities and trials they bring. The highest and best thing that any woman can do is to bear and rear healthy, intelligent children. The accom- plishment of this end depends almost en- tirely upon her health and particularly upon the health and strength of the organs distinctly feminine. The state of the chil- dren, both intellectual and physical de- pends on the mother. If she doesn’t care enough for her own comfort and happiness to take the proper care of herself, she cer- tainly ouglt to do it for the sake of her children. To a very large extent, the des- tiny and achievement of a man is decided in ‘the months before his birth. During that time is determined whether or not he is to be of robust health and strong intel- lect. During that time, his mind and body are started on the path that they will follow through life. Circumstances may influ- ence him, but he cannot get away from the effects of pre-natal influences. One of the principal uses of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription is the preparation of prospective mothers for the time of trial and danger that comes when a child js born, The “Pre- seription” is strengthening and invigorating and lessens pain and danger. Itinsuresthe peérfect well-being and the perfeet health of both mother and child. Every woman should know these things before she really needs to know them. There are many things in Dr. Pierce’s "‘Common Sense Medical Adviser,”’ that every woman ought to know. This celebrated work has reached a sale of 680,000 copies at $1.50 each.
