SAN JOSE, Car., March 24.—The agents of the various apartment buildings of this city organized yesterday afternoon under the name of the San Jose Renters’ Associa- has caused the wildest excitement. Resi- dents of the city who do not live on this | thoroughfare appear to favor the com- | pany’s intention. When the improvised | track was completed at 10:10 o’clock to- night a large crowd “lent a hand” and | while deafening cheers arose the first car | was pushed over a portion of the new rail- way.

The force was short of railroad | spikes and consequently used but one to | every three or four ties. Inafew hours a | line one mile and a half long, to connect | with the.spur up the mountain, was com- pleted.

SAN RAFAEL, CaLn, March 24.—The plaintiff in the injunction suit against the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Scenic Railread sprung a big surprise this morn- | ing when the came up in court to be tried. Mr. Windamiller, the plaintiff, through bis, attorneys, stated that the mountain road company had disobeyed theinjunction of the court and had laid rails and ties upon Corte Madera avenue in Milt Valley. The court took a recess of fifteen minutes, in which to allow Wind- miller to make an affidavit to that effect. | In his affidavit Mr. Windmiller states that the men employed b¥ the California Construction Company in the building of the Tamalpais Mountain road had, either last night or this morning, laid rails upon Corte Madera avenue for a considerable distance and had strewn tiesalong the | route of the road. M. M. O'Shaughnessy | swore to a like affidavit. { Judge Angelotti immediately made an order citing the officials of the company to appear next Monday and show cause why they should not be punished for con- | tempt. Later it was explained that the ! men did not know they were laying the track on the disputed territory. About sixty feet of rails were laid. President 8. B. Cusbing of the Mountain road explained the presence of the ties by | stating that one of the wagons employed | in hauling the ties had become imbedded in the mud, and the teamster, to lighten his load, had thrown off the ties which | Windmiller had seen upon the road. | Late this afternoon Judge Angelotti ren- | dered his decision in the injunction pro- | ceedings by denying the application of | plaintiff, Maurice Windmiller, for a per- manent injuncion, and dissolving the restraining order then in force. | MARE ISLAND *“ LIFERS.” i WNearly One Hundred Men at the Navy-Yard | to Be Placed on the Classified Civil | Service List.

Ignominious Flight Followed the Ap- pearance of a Troop of Govern- ment Soldiers. SAN DIEGO, Car., March 24.—The tug Barclay Golden, Captain Hanson, arrived to-night from Panama after a voyage full of incident and adventure. One of the crew relates the experience of the tug off the Salvadoran coast, where Antonio Ezeta and Manuel Casin tried to land and start a revolution. *Ezeta and Casin decided upon a land- ing place,”” says this fellow, “‘and then they showed their courage by putting Kineally, one of our passenger, where he would be most apt to get shot. | Ezeta, Casin, Kineally, one or two others and I went ashore inh a sheltered place where the surf was not so strong, and the understanding was that Kineally would go inland, get a horse and drum up Ezeta’s friends. We got ashore safely and landed a big demijahn full of mescal, some food and a gun for Kineally. Ezeta and Casin were to stop on shore till Kineally re- turned. “‘Then Kineally remembered that he had | no money to get a horse with, and Casin and 1 had to go back to the tug to get some. We got it and made ashore again, and Kineally started away carrying the demijohn and the grub. He got abouta quarter of a mile away when over the brow of the hill ahead of him appeared about fifty soldiers, who saw him and gave chase at once. He dropped the demijohn and scampered toward the boat. I tlink the soldiers were unaware of our presence, or they would have lain in wait and bag{zeu us all. “Well, sir, you ought to have seen Ezeta and Casin scramble into that boat. It was some ways out in the surf, but they just half swam and half ran toward it and tumbled in. I was already there. They begged me to pull off toward the ship and | never to mind Kineally, but I would not doit. All this time Kineally was legging it toward us, and the bullets were begin- ning to whiz around us. Thesoldiers were speinting toward us and shooting as they ran. “Kineally made remarkably good time and got to the beach about twenty yards ahead of the soidiers. He was almost exhausted and I had to get outand help Ezeta and Casin could have rowed away and left us, but they were both crouching in the bottom of the boat and hardly breathing. Kineally and I got in and we got back to the tug with- out being hurt, but the bullets whistled mighty lively for a while. I saw a soldier take up the demijohn and sample the mescal in itand then draw the attention of his partners to the prize. “That ended Ezeta's attempts to land on the Salvadoran coasts The last we saw of Ezeta and Casin thev were in Panama, dead broke. Devlin was there, too, and he -cried when we sailed away. He has a brother who is District Attorney of Solano County, I think. The other fellows scattered, and so we left them. Kineally returned to San Francisco oa the City of Sydney. We did not have any trouble in Panzma, as was reported, and we were not arrested. ':.}e American Consul told Ezeta and Casfn that they could not come back with us, and Captain Hanson was warned not to take them to Salvador or to carry arms for them, and the arms w2 had were taken away.” Miss LitanRea - GiLroy b S0 ¢ THREE FAVORITES IN THE SAN JOSE CARNIVAL CONTEST. ALL SANTA CLARA COUNTY 1 VOTING. Choosing a Queen to Rule Over the Coming Carnival of Roses. SANTA ROSA’'S MERRY WAR. Superstition Enters Into the Rivalry of the Belles—Fetes in Other Cities. BAN JOSE, CAL., March 24.—The result of the balloting for queen of the Carnival of Roses up to date will be made known to-morrow evening and it is expected the contest from now on will be lively. The names of several ladies voted for have been withdrawn, as they decided not to be candidates for the honor. The present contestants are Misses Grace Adel, Meta Laisy, Lillian Kea of Gilroy, Julia Lauck of Santa Clara, Mamie Sullivan, Maud Phelps and Bertha Warren. The contest, it is believed, isbetween the first three named, and that there will be a battle of ballots the like of which has sel- dom been seen is likely. A Gilroy dispatch to-night says: Public interest in the Rose Carnival at San Jose is increasing daily. An entertainment is under way by home talent for the benefit of the fund to give Gilroy a proper display in the pavilion and parade. Mrs. C. Stainford, the superintendent of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, has plans about com- pleted, and the one thing needful now— money—is being raised.

This favored théroughfare is known as Third street and the charmed precincts are said to be between B und Wilson streets. Miss Nettie Royal. whose stately beauty won for her the honor two years'ago, isa resident of this street, and scarcely a stone’s throw away lives the popular favorite of last year, Miss Isabel Donovan. Miss Florence Donovan and Miss Ada Royal, the younger sisters of the two ex- queens, have been no less favored by nature and the charmed locality, and will hereafter give their eldersa merry race. James McMahan, who resides on the cor- ner of Third and Davis streets, is the father of three beautiful daughters—the Misses Margaret, Rose and Cecelia —any = of whom would grace the floral throne. The three charming daughters of T. J. smith— the Misses Agnes, Jessie and Blanche— are also residents of the street that proe duces queens, and are gzeat favorites in Santa Rosa society. Miss Sarah Jacobs, Miss Lillie Leddy and Miss Alice Tucker, whose homes are near the junction of Davis and Third streets, have all been spoken of for royal honors, and any of the trio would make a graceful queen. Last, but not least, in the galaxy of Third- street beauties is the *‘street quartet” con- sisting of Miss Sara Hall, the leader in the contest to-day, her right-hand neighbor, Miss Lulu Leppo, and directly across the street Miss G. Reid and Miss Carrie Hooa. Itis these four young ladies who add lus- ter to the glory of Third street, ana cause the superstitious young men to believe that the prize mustdrop in that locality. Much important business was transacted ata meeting of t e carnival directors last night. Chairman Proctorof the hotel and rooms committee reported a plan for list- ing all the available room: in town for the use of guests. Those arriving late can in this way ascertain from the committee just where to secure rooms without waste of time. Colonel Walter 8.

LOS ANGELES COURT. La Reina de la Fiesta’s Maids of Honor Are Announced. LOS ANGELES, CaL., March 24.—So- ciety was in a flutter to-day when the names of the maids of honor seiected to attend the Queen of La Fiesta were an- nounced. The galaxy of beauties is com- voseed of Mrs. Arthur Braly, and Misses Helen Klokke, Cora Goodrich Alma Rob- inson, Hattie Kimball, Ida Menifee, Har- riet Smith, Isodora Scott, Sarah Innes, Lila Fairchild, Lillian Wellborn, Olga Marix, Bessie Bonsall, Hortense Levy and | Bessie Byram. The name of the queen herself is still a profound sécret, and will be kept so, if possible, until the eve of the fiesta. Judging by the personnel of the | maids of honor, bowever, it is surmised that the queen is either Mrs. Mark Lewis or Mrs. E. P. Johnson, sister of Mrs. Mo- dini Wood, queen of last year's carnival. | There are others, however, who believe that the queen is, and of right ought to be, Mrs. John Bradbury, and still others think that Mrs. Albert Carlos Jones will wear the crown. FRESHO SEER'S PROPHECY | Patriarchal Darius Myers Sees the Millennium Near at Hand. Grand Gathering of the Chosen to Take Place During the Com- ing Summer. FRESNO, Car, March 24. — Darius | Myers, an aged vineyardist of patriarchial mien, who resides a few miles south of this city, has been known for years as'a Bibli- cal student and prophet. He has pub- lishea many tracts expounding and ex- Y‘]nining the Scriptures, many of which ave shown considerable literary merit and indicate remarkable knowledge on the part of their author of the Scriptures. His latest production deals with the milien- nium and what he designates as 666 re- | ligious denominations, which, he has de- cided, will have no part norlot in the “first stage’’ of this millennium. Rezard- | ing this “‘first stage’” the aged Biblicist says: This gathering of the saints to the mountain on which the feast is held is the same as the gathering of the elect (Matt. xx1v:31, Luke vii:37). This is to take place on June 16, 1896. Itis at this feastand gathering that the church of the first born (Heb. xii:23)is to be organized and set in the body oi the Christ, every one, as it _hath Fleued God to set them, as Sl Cor. xii:18) each one will have a name and place in the walls of God's house thatshall not be taken from them (Isa. 1vi:5). After quoting many passages of Script- ! ure the author further on says: By the above it is seen that those who do not | get ready for the first fruits hurvest of June 16, 896, will have to wait for 1000 years before they will be harvested and receive the hidden life (Col. f1i:3-4). Throughout his leaflet the author speaks of tne 666 religious denominations at Mer- ozites, and in this connection he says: Now, which of the 666 Merozites have ever come up to the help of the Lord as much as to publicly acknowledge or advocate this king- dom of Christ upon the builded ruins of David’s throne and kingdom. All with one consent are antagonists and enemies agiinst such a kingdom. Nordo they expect any lot orpart in such a kingdom under the whole heavens, as stated in Dan. vii:27, which is to fill the whole earth, as stated in Dan. ii:4T, when the knowledge of the Lord will fill the whole earth (Isa. xi:9, Habb. ii:14. From 1 Pet. 1:12 we learn the propheis were to min- ister to the gospelage during the gcspel king- domages. his In explanation of “Merozites” the writer says: There are 666 different large denominations, besides small ones (Revelations xiii:18). Not one of these will come up to the help or advocate the building up again of the throne of the Lord upon which David and Solomon sat (I Chronicles xxix:23 and 1I Chronicles xiii:8), which was overturned in the days of Zedekiah (Chronicles xxxvi:11-19) and was to remain overturned (Ezekiel xxxi:27) until after the Lora’s return from a visit to the gemflet (Acts xv:16), when its ruins were to e builded up again as it wasin the daysof old (Amos ix:11). Now out of these 666 differ- ent inhabitants of Meroz not one comes up to the help of the Lord to build up again the throne of David thatis now fallen down aud n ruins, oft-quoted e WOODLAND OFFICER CLUBBED.

VISALIA JUSTICE IS NOT CHEATED, Si Lovren Will Recover From the Wound Inflicted by Himself. IS FAST GROWING STRONGER. The Attempt at Suicide Strong Evi- dence of Guilt—Inquiry Into McCall's Death. VISALIA, CAL., March 24 —Theattempt. of Si Lovren, the saloon-keeper accused of. baving planned the Southern Pacific train hold-up near Tulare early last Thursday morning, to end his life by cut- ting his throat in prison, appears to have ended in failure. Dr. Patterson reports Lovren’s condition as much improved and he has a good chance to recover. He takes nourishment, his pulse is stronger and the color has returned to his face. The attempt at suicide has given the pros- ecution more confidence in the case agamst the band of robbers. The Coroner’s inquiry into the death of Dan McCall was resumed by Coroner J. C. McCabe this afternoon. W. W. Wright of Fresno, engineer of the train boarded by McCall, was the principal witness. He testitied: ‘‘We arrived at Goshen at11:57 o’clockjat night, and while oiling the engine Depu- ties Daggett and Reed came up. They surprised me, for I had heard nothing of an attemvted hold-up and they looked somewhat ‘tough’ themselves. They asked me to let them ride on the engine to Tu- lare and handed me their credentials. 1 gave them permission to ride and they got inside the coal board and sat down on the coal. A short time after we started I chanced to look back and saw a man get- ting up over the end of the tender. I no- ticed his mask, and then he pulled a rifle and revolver on me and the fireman and shouted something which in the noise I took to be ‘Hold up your hands.’ Then the shooting between this man and the deputies took place, both firing about the same time. The robber shot four times and then fell off the east side of the ten- der. Iletthetrain run a short distance and then slowed down, stepped back to the tender and asked the deputies if they wanted to get off. Reed said they were both shot and that I should go on to Tu- lare. This was the first I knew that they had been shot by the robber. Reed watched for a second robber till we got to Tulare. I started to leave the cab through the front window after the robber shot first and had got one foot out when I noticed the fellow fall. ThenI came back. The whole thing occupied but a minute, per- haps, but in the excitement it seemed a long time to me.” Other witnesses were examined as to minor details. The jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict of ‘“Death by a gunshot wound at the hands of ‘Deputy Sheriffs Barl Daggett and Vic Reed, while in the discharge of their official duties.” UF FOR ARIONA WILDS Lord Sholto Douglas and His Cowboy Friend in Search of Adventures. Will Traverse Western Wastes and Penetrate Miasma-Breeding Jun- gles of the Isthmus. LOS ANGELES, Car., March 24.—Lord Sholto Douglas and his friend, John E. | Coker, the wild and woolly cowboy artist, late of Arizona, started for Pheenix, Ariz., this evening. There they will procure an outfit and set out on a burro ride through the waste p'aces of Arizona, New Mexico and Oid Mexico and the jungles of Central America. The trip is undertaken for profit as well as adventure, it being the purpose of Sholto to write an account of his travels for a press syndicate, while Coker will draw pictures illustrating the subjects written about by his lordship. They claim to have secured credentials from five great newspapers, which have contracted to take the literary matter fur- nishea by them at a rate that will make the undertaking remunerative., . 'The start will be made from Pheenix, for the reason that Coker has a number of horses on his brother’s ranch near that place, which he will exchange for burros and the paraphernalia of a pack-train. The journey will be made by easy stages through the wildest territory that can be found. To make sure that they will be well treated in Mexico the young adven- turers will carry letters of introduction to President Diaz _and other notables from John T. Gaffey, Judge Sepulveda and other distinguished citizens of Los Angeles, who are well known in Mexico. % “We have mapped out no definite route,” said Lord Sholto previous to his departure. “lt will be a sort of go-as-you- ease trip, as we have all the time at our sposal that we want and we shall want to see every place of special interest in the countries through which we travel, We expect to go as far as Central America and if all goes well and the novelty is not worn off by the time we get there we may decide to prolong the journey to Cape Horn. “No, I am not afraid of perishing in the desert or being killed by Indians. Coker’s cowboy experience in Arizona has inured him to desert life and I consider him a competent guide, philosopher and friend. We will go well armed and be prepared to defend ourselves against savages and des- peradoes, but will exercise discretion by giving hostile Indian tribes a wide berth unless gnaranteed protection by the pres- ence of soldiers. . “Lady Doug!as has several engagements in Chicago, where she will remain for the E‘reum, although she may join me in the ity of Mexico later on.” There is no trath in the dispatch from Chicago that she is on her way to England to visit my peonle. We both prefer the roving, inde- pendent life we can lead in this country, and shall not go to England until the giddy whirl of life in London’s social circles possesses more fascination for us than it does at present. *‘Good-bye,” his lordship said at parting. “You newspaper fellows have han{’a good deal of sport writing me up since I started in my brilliant career in California, and now I propose to do a little pencil-pushing for the press myself—not for the glory of it, but ‘for revenue only,’ as some of your blooming poiiticians say.

Robinzon, a California pioneer, and at one time Warden of St. Quentin Prison, is dead, at the age of 87. Mr. Robinson crossed the plains from Kansas City in 1849, coming direct to Los Angeles, where he resided till 1857, when he went north to lakecharie of 8an Quentin, returning after. ward to Los Angeles, which remained his permanent home. Mr. Robinson was a native of Georgia and a typical argonaut. being endowed with the mental and physical powers which enabled the pioneers of 1849 to push their way bevond the confines of civiliza- tion and found an empire by the western sea. In the eighty-four years of his life he did not know what sickness was till a stroke of apoplexy suddenly ended his career. It is said of Mr. Robinson that he en- joyed the distinction of casting the first vote that was ever deposited in an Ameri- can ballot-box in Los Angeles.

PORTLARDSTREET AFFA Lawyer Nutting Belabored by a Woman Who Charged Him With Fraud. She Pummels Him With an Umbrella and Disfigures His Flowing Beard. PORTLAND, Or., March 24—W. L. Nutting, a well-known lawyer, was this afternoon attacked on Morrison and Third streets by Mrs. lsabella Walker. She caught hold of Nutting’s flowing beard and tore a handful of hair out of it. With the other hand she belabored him with an umbrella, The episode did not last more than a minute, but it attracted a crowd of hundreds, who seemed to enjoy the affair. In the midst of cneers and langhter Nut- ting freed himselt from.the woman’s firm hold and ran aown Third street followed by a hooting crowd. The woman, though, stood her ground and related the cause prompting her as- sault upon the lawyer. gome months ago, she claimed, she paia Nutting $50 to ob- tain a decree of divorce for her. He de- layed matters until she changed her mind and demanded the return of her money. Nutting refusing to make restitution, she began suit for the recovery of the $60 and got judgment. As he had nothing upon which to levy and still refused to pay, she lay in wait for Kim this afternoon. rs. Waiker tbreatens to ‘“do him up” every time she meets him until she has had $50 worth of excitement. Several peace officers witnessed the interesting scene thiz afternoon, but they refrained from taking a hand in it, so intensely were they absorbed. Nutting was seen to-night, but he naively said that he preferred hav- ing no newspaper notoriety in connection withit. Mrs. Walker threatened his arrest for the embezzlement of her money. A short time ago Nutting was arrested for embezzlement, at the instance of a client, but he was discharged at his pre- liminary examinatioa. The-Bea of Health Features don't mat- ter so much. Most any features will do if "the complexion is clear, the eyes bright and the lipsrosy. Hearty, healthy whole- someness is better than mere beauty of features.

The face tells the story of the whole body. ‘‘Murder will ont® —and so will ‘‘female weakness” and nervousness and other disorders peculiar to women.

Nervous prostration writes its warning on the face long before it comes. Sleeplessness, nervousness and debilitating drains make more wrinkles than age. Nine-tenths of the sickness of women comes from some derangement of organs distinctly feminine. Nine-tenths of this sickness can be cured and avoided by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. There is nothing miraculous about the “ Favorite Prescription ’—nothing super- natural, It is the result of rational thought and study applied to medicine. It has been prescribed by Dr. Pierce for over 30 years, It has made thousands of women heaithy and happy, and has brought joy to thousands of homes. In “female weakness” it acts directly and strongly in healing and strengthen- ing the parts that are most severely tried. It clears out impurities and promotes regularity at all times.
