C. Andrews. SENT EER INDECENT LETTERS. He Is Pointed Out to the Woman’s Husband, Who Proceeds to Sz. cure Satisfaction. LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 15.—Edwin N. Brown, an insurance agent, received a sound thrashing to-day at the hands of an irate husband in the most public place in Los Angeles. Itwasat the crowded corner of First and Spring streets that H. C. Andrews and his wife met Brown, “That is the man who insulted me,” exclaimed Mrs. Andrews, and immediately her hus- band sailed into the insurance agent and would have made him a subject for the hospital but for the timely interference of Officer Singleton, who piaced both men under arrest, but not before both of Brown’s blue eyes were beaten black and he was otherwise disfigurea. Mrs. Andrews had some correspondence with Brown on business matters, and she alleges that he sent insulting letters. She says his language was such as to make him culpable for sending obscene matter through the mails, and she proposes to have him arrested for it by the Federal authorities. Mrs. Andrews is identified with many secret organizations. She has held the office of chief companion of the forest in the Woman’s Auxiliary to the Fcresters of America. She is also connected with the Woodmen of the World. She is a woman of great business capacity and made the circles of Yorestry a great success in this State. She is also one of the best woman speakers in the city, and is always chosen to repre- sent the women on the platform in the various societies she belongs to. She is decorated with many emblems of the orders she belongs to. Andrews, who de- fended his wife’s nonor so gallantly, is a motorman on one of the electric roads. e HUNTINGTON'S CHANCE. Can Buy a Section of the Atlantie and Pacific if He Pays Enough. LOS ANGELES, Car., April 15.—Re- ceiver C. W. Smith and the bondholders committee of the Atlantic and Pacific road, who are making a tour of inspection of the property, arrived here by special train at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon. The party is chaperoned by Superintendent A. G. Wells of the Atlantic and Pacific, and consists, besides Receiver Smith, of: Fred- eric B. Jennings of New York. counsel of the Atlantic and Pacific; J. D. Probst of | New York; William Basset of Boston; Francis 8. Bangs, president of the United States Trust Company of New York; Otto Bannard, president of the Continental Trust Company of New York; Henry L. Sprague ana J. G. McCullough, vice-presi- dent of the Erie Railroad and formerly Attorney-General of California. Receiver Smith and Counsel Jennings roceeded to the chambers of United Etates Circait Judge Ross, where they had & consultation concerning the foreclosure proceedings. At 4 o’clock the entire party, with the exception of Receiver Smith, left for Santa Barbara. Mr. Smith went to Banta Monica this evening to visit his family, With reference to a recentdispntch from New York, stating that Judge Collier's de- cree of foreclosure 1n the case of the United States Trust Company vs. the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad wasbut a preliminary step toward the sale of that line, Receiver B8mith said the decree covered only that }'\nrl of the line in New Mexico, but he be- ieved decrees would also be shortly 1ssued covering the property in Arizona and Cali- forpia. In reply to a question as to whether Huntington had secured control of that portion of the road between The Needles and Mojave, Mr, Smith said: “No, but if Huntington wants it he can have it. We are more than willing to sell it, because we can build a parallel line to fill the gap for 30 per cent less money than it will cost Huntington. The Southern Pacific built that portion of the road origi- nally, but Huntington does not control the bonds. He probably woula like to. If he wants to buy the road let kim put up the money and he will be surprised to see how quickly he will get it. *'The charge that I was chagrined at not being elected president of the Atchinson Bystem at the recent reorganization, and in consequence was trying to throw the Atlantic and Pacific info the hands of the Bouthern Pacific, is false. I have no feel- ing in the matter at all, but as I said be- fore if Huntington wants the road let him put up enough money and can have it.” Xtsrale-base i, MAYOR CARLSON'S CLAIM, Declares He Has Secured the Nevada Southern Railway. LOS ANGELES, Car., April 15.—Mayor Carlson of San Diego is in the city, having just returped from Denver, whither he went to get possession of the Nevada South- ern Railway. He says that he succeeded, and that he will commence work shortly. He declined to say what he had done about the little matter of the §200,000 lien on the road, but declared that would be all right, and that he would explain his plans to-morrow—the last day in which to redeem the line. If he fails it will be sold by the Sheriff of San Berrardino County, unless Mayor Carison can devise some legal hitch to delay proceedings. It is be- lieved that this is his scheme, and that an attempt will be made to stop the sale b; means of an injunction or some- suc method. The Nevada Southern extends from Manvel station on the Atlantic and Pa- cific along the west hank of the Colorado River to Vanderbit. Carlson made a deal some time ago with ex-President Blake, by which he claimed to have se- cured title to the road, but the Sheriff of Ban Bernardino has been operating it under attschment for debt. Carlson pro- poses to make italink in the projected railroad between Salt Lake and San Diego. ALASKEA INDIAN JUSTICE.

MOURNING AT CARSON Thousands Follow the Body of the Late Governor Jones to the Grave, Eulozies Pronounced Over His Bier by th2 Pastors of Four Churches. CARSON, Nrv., April 15.—The funeral oi the Jate Governor John E. Jones took vlace from the capitol building this after- noon. Thousands followed the body of the popular executive to the grave. Gov- ernor Jones was a Mason and also com- mander-in-chief of the Nevada State militia, and Masons and gnards attended | in numbers. The funeral was conducted under Masonic and military rites. The ceremony was one of the most peculiar ever witnessed in America, inas- much as it was also carried out by four different religious denominations. The late Governor expressed a dying wish that | each of the religious denominations of this | city be allowed five minutes in which to express its sorrow or pronounce eulogies. The Masons arranged, as he had wished, | and the four pastors of this city delivered Rev. Mr. Nash spoke for the Presbyterians, Rev. Mr. Wilson for the Methodists, Rev. Mr. Eddy for the Episcopalians and Rev. Father Gartland for the Catholic frater- nity. Professor Stubbs of the Nevada State University also delivered an eloquent eulogy, which brougnt tears to the eyes of | the hundreds of listeners. Mr. Hanford, | the late Goyernor’s private secretary, fol- lowed the professor, speaking for the Ne- vada Press Association, and bade farewell to the man he had servea and loved. Dur- ing the exercises four choirs—one from each of the religious bodies—rendered music. When these services were ended the Masons took charge of the body and beid their solemn rites. As the procession started for the cemetery minute guns were fired from Battery A. Four companies of militia were in line, as were 200 cadets from the State University. The procession extended nearly from the town to the cemetery, a distance of two miles. Thou- sands of citizens went to the burying- grounds, and it was impossible for a third of them to get within hearing distance of the grave. The services at the cemetery were performed by the Masons, and as the last word was spoken three salutes were tired over the open grave by the State militia. Out of respect to the late Governor all the schools throughout the State and the business houses in most of the towns were closed. THE TRAGEDY AT LATROBE Walter Freeman Slain Because He Won in a Wrestling ° Match. Stabbed Without Warning While Pleasantly Conversing With His Opponent. PLACERVILLE, Car., April 15.—Later information from Latrobe tends to prove that the killing of Walter Freeman by George Roberts yesterday was a cold- blooded crime. It was developed at the mquest that young Freeman was not drunk. The voung man belonged toa good family. The Coroner’s jury in its verdict characterized the act of Roberts as a “‘cold blooded murder.” All the eye witnesses declared that no provocation existed. A short time before the affray the two engaged in a friendly wrestling match and Roberts was thrown. Afterward Roberts, with drawn pistol, entered the saloon of James Harris, where Freeman was with about ten others, and was promptly dis- armed. Later he was seen with 8 reeman in an apfnrently glcasnnt conversation. He smiled as he took a large jackknife from bis pocket, opened it leisurely so as to excite the suspicion of neither Freeman nor his friends, and then instantly plunged it into the neck of Freeman, severing the juglar vein. g e In Trouble at Port Townsend.

Notwithstanding the fact that only rela- tives were to be present elaborate prepara- tions had been made for the event, and it { was a very charming wedding. The deco- | rations were remarkable for their beauty and for the taste displayed in their ar- | rangement. Flowers had been sent from different places, some of them having come from the Capitol grounds at Sacra- mento. The front parlor, where the cere- mony took place, was in white. Pretty festoons of smilax extended from a center- | piece to the picture molding on the wall, and a marriage-bell of orange blossoms and white roses hung in the center. Roses of the same color were banked at intervals about the room. The back parlor was in pink, The sliding doors had been thrown back and those present witnessed the ceremony from that room., Smilax was run on the lace cur- tains and the door leading into the apart- ment from the hail was banked with date palms, Behind the shrubbery a harpist played the wedding strains. The bride jentered the parlor and took her positiontinderneath the wedding-bell, attended by her sister, Miss Lulu Neill, The groom was supported by Marion H, Wright. The willowly figure of the bride appeared to good advantage in a gown of white alpaca silk, which was trimmed with sllk lace and pearl ornaments. The bridesmaid was attired in a pink gown of a plain pattern. The groom and the best man wore the regulation full dress suit. Rev. Mr. McCreary performed the cere- mony impressively, and Governor Budd gave the bride away. At the wedding all repaired to the dining-room, where a sumptuous repast was served, and the couple received many hearty congratula- tions. The presents were numerous, and were sent from different parts of the State. The bride and the man of her choice are both well known in this city and in so- clety. Mr. Hulse came here four years ago from San Jose, and during his stay in this city has made many friends. The couple will leave on this evening’s train for Santa Barbara, whence they will go to Los An- geles.

CLEVER COLUSA BANDIT, Robs a Stage of Its Mail Pouch Without Disturbing the Driver. The Theft Not Discovered Until the Loot Is Found Two Months Later. COLUSA, Car., April 15—James Cropp and Thomas Anderson found a mail pouch filled with letters and papers that never reached their destination. They were opposite the Kilgore ranch, two miles from Sycamore, when Cropp noticed some- thing on top of one of the stringers under a bridge. He at first thought it wasa coat, but upon examination it proved to be a United States mail pouch, It had been jcut open, the contents rifled and then replaced. An investigation resulting from the find reveais the singular fact that the stage robber who secured the mail was not detected, nor did the driver or the post- office clerks discover their loss. The con- clusion the authorities have reached is that he placed an empty sack in the stage after securing the filled pouch and left nis victimsnone the wiser. Cropp brought his find to Colusa and delivered it to_Sheriff B. W, Jones, who upon investigation found that it contained the mail tr? Marysville to West Butte and Kent. The letters were dated and i)ostmarked Marysville, February 6and 7, 896, which shows it must bave been taken over two months ago. The Sheriff im- mediately telephoned to the Marysville Eostmnsmr and also to the postmasters at ent and West Butte asking them if they had ever failed to receive a mail pouch. Each said he had not; that his books showed the mail had arrived on time every day. Frank Myers, the stage-driver, was questioned and said that he handles only three pouches between Marysville and Colusa and had never missed carrying and delivering them on time. One of the recovered letters was from Warden Hale of San Quentin to W.J. | ‘Wilbur, SAN JOSE'S ARMY OF VOLUNTEERS, Ballington Booth Has Not Been Deserted by His Followers. GROWTH OF THE ORDER. Other Towns Will Follow the Lead of the Garden City Pioneers. BRIGADIER KEPPEL IN ERROR. Indignent Denial of the Salvaticnist’s Statement Minimizing the Defection. BAN JOSE, COar., April15.—The state- ment made yesterday by BrigadierJ.J. Keppel to a CALL reporter that the San Jose defection in the Salvation Army ranks had been *headed off” is ridienled by the leaders of the Volunteer movement in this city, who declare emphatically that their forces were never in better condition nor more hopeful of final success than at the present time. Yesterday advices were received from Commander Ballington Booth at New York stating tbat the new post was duly sanctioned and recognized as the pioneer organization on the coast, The standard will be sent at once and a large supply of the Volunteers’ organ, the Gazette, will be on hand for sale by the local members the coming week. It is expected that San Jose will be made a district headquarters and a well-known field officer in the old army on the coast will soon take charge as adjutant of the district. The local worlkers are busily en- gaged in canvassing for funds to support the new work and are meeting with splen- did success, all classes of society rallying toitsaid. As soon as arrangements are completed the new hall already selected will be opened and the work pushed vigor- ously. A telegram was yesterday received from Colonel Fielding of Chicagzo, lately in command of the northwest division of the old army, giving important counsel to the { local corps. Either the commander, Mrs. Maud Booth, or Colonel Ficlding will shortly visit the coast in the interests of the new organization. Besides the San Jose organization two other posts are already being organized and will be announced soon and other places are in communication with the San Jose workers. The statement made that the ringleaders had returned to the old army is pronounced by the local Volunteers as untrue. Last Sunday Major Halpin and wife visited S8an Jose, accon.panied by Captains William Day, Fong Foo Sec, William Bourne and wife, and held & num- ber of meetings in an endeavor to stop the hegira toward Ballington Booth. In the morning a soldiers’ council was hela in the barracks, to which the Volunteers were in- vited, and an attempt was made to explain the differences now agitating the army. At the meeting the resignations of the Volunteers were accepted, with the assur- ance that all who wished would be at lib- erty to return to the army by simply | signing the articles of war anew. At this time the fact that Ballington Booth would organize on the coast soon was not known, and as a consequence a few of the Volun- teers, fearing the possible miscarriage of the movement, returned to the army. The publication of Ballington Booth’s state- ment the following day in the press of the State, however, at once revived their inten- tion to stand by him and his work, and all but three of the soldiers signified their in- tion of joining his organization as soon as it was perfected. Others, on reading the statement, have expressed their determina- tion to enlist, and the new army will be- gin its work shortly with a strong force, backed by substantial moral and financial support in the community. The foliowing statement made by Adju- tant Wood in the San Francisco papers is severely criticized in San Jose, as its facts are obviously incorrect: “Furthermore,” said the adjutant, “these people leaving the San Jose camps count for little anyway. They were grumblers and are better out of the army. I have recently re- turned from San Jose and know the facts. The officers who have left are only non-commis- sioned officers, bearing about the same relation to the army that a deacon does to a church.” Captain W. Thomvson, in charge of the local corps, being shown the article de- clined to give it his sanction, expressing his astonishment that the adjutant should have made such a statement. The fact that the doors of the army were thrown open last Sunday to all Volunteers who were willing to return to the old organiza- tion robs the statement of its force, while the presence of regular commissions in the hands of nine local officers who have resigned disproves effectively the other aliegations ascribed to the adjutantin the article quoted.

The visitors danced and made merry in the hotel par- lors. The decorations all over town were of the most lavish and artistic character. | The ballroom at the Arcadia was ar- | ranged as a fairy bower, with a wealth of blossoms and evergreens.

The most interesting and impressive part of the programme was the school children’s parade, 500 youngsters being in line. ‘When they reached the gaily decorated grand stand, on which were seated the guests, they commenced showering them with flowers, and that ceremony concluded they commenced making a floral flag. When this was completed it was raised and saluted and then presented to the associa- | tion as a memento of the day. | In the evening an attractive programme of m}‘u tic sports was renderea at North Beach. At 11 .o’clock the special train, with its twenty-two Pullman cars contain- ing the jolly party, pulled out for Santa Barbara. CYCLISTS BREAK RECORDS.

Mr. McNeil is not very talkative, | but what he says he means, and when he does say anything it is with the best inten- tionin the world. He has nonebut the best feeling for Joy’s Vegetable Sarsapa- rilla, and gladly told the writer of the £reat good Joy’s haa dome. Said he: “I used Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla because | I felt dull, heavy, almost sluggish. As soon as I discovered that I needed some- thing to make me feel good I took a bottle | of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsaparilla, and after | using the second bottle I became my old | self again. Mind you, I was not on the brink of the grave; I merely wanted a blood medicine and I used Joy’s. Yes; I found the remedy pleasing to take and Iy imported from San Francisco a number of trainea birds, and instead of receiving his mail once a fortnight, as at present, he ex- pects in the future to get it in less than two hours after it is sent. Clayoquet is distant 180 miles from Vic- toria, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Interests there include the man- agement of a large salmon-packing station. As there is no telegraph line near by, and but numpuru!ively%xnle com- munication with the place otherwise, Mr. Magnesen’s experiment will be watched with interest. His scheme is one which also affects shipping-men, for it is not over two months ago since the United States cutter Corwin discoversd a partially starved shipwrecked crew not over thirty miles distant from the place. e s UPRISING OF INDIANS, Canadian Fedskins Iiesent the Attempt to Suppress Potlatches. VICTORIA, B. C., April 15.—There are indications of serious trouble with the Indians of Northern British Columbia on account of the steps taken by the Do- minion Government to supbress pot- latches. On the upper Naas River a mus- tering of natives is reported to be taking lace. ¥ P Just as the steamer Danube, which ar- rived here to-day, was leaving the north from 600 to 700 natives had gathered to hold a pow-wow to determine what action should be taken toward resisting the en- forcement of the law. All are determined to maintain the old custom. Not only does dissatisfaction exist, but it isreported that disorder prevails and the police authorities are meeting with much trou- ble in keeping peace. The report brought by the Danube says that the officers of law are watohing the Indians and imprisoning all who become particularly ofiensive. So serious is the trouble regarded that bloodshed is antici- pated at almost any moment, for the in- dignation of the natives is common to nearly all the tribes. NEW TO-DAY. THE REVENGE OF THE PURSE.
