School-Children Discover a Corpse on the River Bank—May Be That of Willam Wootten. FRESNO, Cawr., April 18.—Professor Sorensen and his pupils of the Kaston School made a ghastly find to-day on the ranch of Martin Brotners, on the south bank of the San Joaquin River, about fif- teen miles north of this city. The school- children were enjoying an outing and picnic near the river’s bank, and while clambering over some driftwood which had lodged against a clump of willows they were horror-stricken at disturbing the body of a man in an advanced state of decomposition. The instructor’s attention was called to the discovery*and he made as careful an inspection of the cadaver as circumstances would permit. The body was that of a white man, ap- parently about 40 years of age. He bad worn fairlv good ciothing, including dark coat und vest, buff trousers and congress- gaiter shoes. The beard of the deceased, which was well preserved, was light- colored and about four incheslong. He had been a man of 5 feet 8 or 9 inches in height. The surroundings _indicated drowning, since the body had certainly floated out with the debris. The impres- sion of Sorensen was that death had ensued about a year ago. Owing to the condition of the corpse, nothing but conjecture can be made as to the cause of death. There are many per- sons who believe the body is that of the body is that of the long-missing William Wootten, because of whose disappearance, after a presumably forged transfer of bis realty, Professor Sanders .is now in the County Jail here. Coroner Long will con- duct a careful investigation to-morrow. CATALINA ISLAND SCARE Adventure of a Pleasure Party on the Launch Fleetwing in a Gale. Driven Into the Shelter of a Distant Harbor, Their Absence Causcs Great Alarm. AVALON, Cataniya Isvtanp, April 18.— Considerable excitemert and alarm was oceasioned last evening, when a party of sixteen persons, which left early in the morning for a trip round the isiand, failed to return. A stiff breeze, which gradually increased to a gale, had sprung up during the day and & high sea was running, mak- ing it almost impossible to come up the seaward shore of theisland, which was the route by which the pleasure party was to return. As darkness came on and the Fleetwing, the stanch little launch which carried the party, did not appear the grav- est apprehensions were felt, and at 9 o’clock a searching party was sent out on La Paloma by the Banning Company. The yacht proceeded at once to the 1sth- mus and there, quartered in the old Gov- ernment barracks, were the voyagers seated around a glowing stove in the big main hall singing and swapping sea stories. It seems the Fleetwing encountered no difficulty until it attempted to roand the end of the island, when the heavy seas be- gancoming in and a terrific gale sprang up. Captain Macdoneil, who is an able seaman, put out six or seven miles tosea hefore he could with safety round the point and several hours were consumed in accomplishing this feat, so it was well into the afternoon before Catalina harbor, the point on the seeward side of the isthmus, was reacheéd. The gale increased momen- tarily and it -was not thought safe to re- turn to Avalon, a distance of some twenty- five miles, with the course on the seaward side of the island. At the isthmus the island narrows to the width ofa half mile. Here the voyagers walked across and took refuge in the barracks. Some of the party returned in La Paloma to Avalon last night, reaching port at 1 o’clock this morning, but the ma- jority remained at the isthmus and re- turned on the Fleetwing this morning, en- countering heavy seas and meeting with minor mishaps, but coming into harbor with flying colors and cheering lustily for the little craft and its brave captain. . SOLANO OFFICERS WIN. Judge Buckles Upholds the Constitu- tionality of the Four-Year Term. VALLEJO, Caxn., April 18.—A dispatch to the Vailejo Chronicle from Fairfield to- day says: Judge Buckles decided the case of Hale vs. the County Clerk in favor of the plaintiff, holding that the defendant should not purchase ballot-paper as or- dered by the Board of Supervisors, in an- ticipation of the election of a full set 6f county officers in November next. The decision upholds the constitutionality of the four-year term for all county officers. In rendering his opimon Judge Buckles referred to Fresno County, and ruled that the law making an exceptron of that county was unconstitutional.” Under the ruling the officers of Fresno County elected for two years will have to serve four years. The case will go to the Su- preme Court at the May term, and a de- cision is looked for in Jul IS UKIAH BANDI1’'S FATE. John Schneider Must Spend Twenty- Five Years in San Quentin.

LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 18.—A war- rant for thearres: of Pierre Ganet, editor of L'Union Nouvelle, a local French paper, on the charge of criminal libel. The com- plaint is sworn to -by Emile d’Artois, who accuses Ganet of defaming the memory of his father in a recent editorial published in L'Union Nouvelle. The elder d’Artois, who, its alleged, is a posthumous victim of slander, died in San Francisco about two years ago. He was a man of property and well known to the French residents of California. The recent newspaper attack on the dead man has caused considerable excitement in the local French colony and the libel suit is the result. gk BOOTH-TUCKER WELCOMED. Monster Demonstration in Honor of the Salvation Army Commander. LOS ANGELES, CawL., April 18.—The arrival of Mrs. Booth-Tucker, the new commander-in-chief of the Balvation Army in America, was signalized by the greatest rally the army has ever held in Southern California.

Mrs. Booth-Tucker was accompanied by Major Alice Lewis, the Vassar graduate who has dedicated herself to Salvation Army work, Major Alice Malan, formerly private secretary to General William Booth, and Brigadier- General J. J. Keppel of San Francisco. Staff Captain Thomas of this city met the visitors at San Bernardino and escorted them hither. An enthusiastic reception was accorded them at Music Hall, where Miss Lewis and Mrs. Booth-Tucker spoke briefly. The latter made only a passing reference to the withdrawai of her brother, Ballington Booth, who, she hoped, would see the error of his way and return to the fold. After the meeting Mrs. Booth- Tucker and staff repaired to the residence of Judge R, M. Widney, whose guests they will be during their stay in the city. B e i DE BARTH SHORB INTERRED. Many Friends Mourn at the Grave of the Capitaltst. LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 18.—The funeral of Hon. J.de Barth Shorb drew many people to San Gabriel to-day. Be- sides many people of wealth and position who were present there were many more humble though no less devout friends in the persons of the Mexican laborers who have all their lives been in the service of the Wilson and Shorb families. Many were the tributes paid to the dead man, and boundless the sympathy extended to his bereaved family. His body was laid to rest in the little cemetery near his home, with the solemn rites of the Roman Catholic church. - Ming Brothers Arraigned. L0S ANGELES, Cavn., April 18.—The examination of the Ming brothers and their brother-in-law, Dan Cook, for the murder of Postmaster Hayes of Puente. was begun to-day. Many witnesses were called.

LOS ANGELES, Cav., April 18.—Police Detective Goodman, this afternoon swore to a complaint against Mrs. Ella Robert- son, the woman who tried to horsewhip Dr. MacGowan a few days ago, charging her with insanity.

SANTA ROSK LITIGATION, Harry Hall Seeks to Recover on a Judgment Against the City. Ex-Treasurer Vanderhoof to Be Sued for Public Funds Still in His Possession. SANTA ROSA, OaL., April 18.—This city has suffered for the past few years from & multiplicity of lawsuits zrowing out of sewer damage and the strife over the new water works. Some time ago was retained by Vanderhoof when he made his final report last week, claiming that it was due to him as the commission of 1 per cent allowed by law on the sum of $161,000 paid by the city for the new water works. The contention will be that the $161,000 did not pass through the Treasurer’s hands, being_still outstanding as a clam against the city in the shape of bonds. Vanderhoof, who has the money safe in his possession, smiles confidentl¥ when the case ia mentioned and says thatif he is pressed any in the matter he will de- mand an additional 1 per cent on all the m‘gney handled by him during his term of office. The law declares that the Treasurer shall Teceive as fees 1 per cent upon ali moneys received and disbursed, and most of Van- derhoof’s predecessors interpreted the law very liberally to themselves in this respect, it being only during the that the present system of retaining only single fees has been in vogue. i LA PORTLAND ACCIDENT. Horrible Death of a Man Who Stepped Upon an Engine Flywheel. PORTLAND, Og., April 18.—James S. Turner, a plasterer, was crushed to death in the pit of the engine-room of the Ore- gonian building. How and when he en- tered the basement of the building is not known, the first notice taken of the man by the engineer being when he found him standing at his side. Leaving that posi- tion the man walked toward the flywheel pit, a large pillar obscuring him from further gaze. He was next seea when lifted from the pit. It is dark where the accident occurred, and in all probability the intoxicated man mistook the fast whirling belt for a solid surface and stepped upon it. Instantly he was thrown into and against the masonry of the pit, his body being crushed and drawn by the huge belt until it had worked far enough down into the narrow space be- tween the wheel and the wall to serve as a brake and stop the engine. There was never a cry, never & moan. The moment Turner's feet touched the belt he was whirled against the stone of the pit, and then, his body rolling over, the breath was forced from his lungs, his ribs broken and put the semblance of life left in him. Dr. Whiting’s examination showed the skull to be fractured, the brain filled with blood and almost every bone in the upper part of the man’s body broken. ———— 4 Santa Barbara Will. SANTA BARBARA, Car., April 18.— The will of the late Mary Rood Hazard filed here this week develops the fact that the beautiful Hazard home, known as Mission Hill, is bequeathed to Miss Caro- line Hazard, with the especial provision that should the remaining sons and daughters of the family desire to build cottages upon it for their occupancy suit- able sites shall be selected and life privi- lege of the grounds be granted them. VIEW RIVERSIDE SIGHTS, Hotel Men Visit Orange Groves and Pick Fruit From the Trees. Enthusiastic in Their Praise of the Peculiar Beauty of Magnolia Avenue. SAN DIEGO, CAr., April 18.—The sec- ond and third sections of the hotel men’s special left Redlands for Riverside at 5 o’clock this morning. Arriving in that city, the strangers were met at the depot and the Glenwood tavern by the following commiitee of Riverside citizens: Messrs. George F. Seger, William McBean, A. J. Conden, John Jarvis, B. B. Bush, George D. Cunningham, George V. Reynolds, E. R. Miller and Dan Funday. This body was supplied with a suffic- ient number of carriages and tallyhos to give everybody on the excursion a drive, and as the morning was a lovely one the opoortunity was gladly accepted. Magnolia avenue, famous the world over, was the first objective point in the drive, and the guests of the occasion were enthusiastic in praise of its peculiar beauty. The orange-packing houses at Casa Blanca were visited and the Easterners had an opportunity to witness the grading, wrapping and boxing of the citrus fruits for market. Victoria Hill, with its ex- pansive view of orange orchard, mountain and valley was also visited by many. Some of the orange groves were thrown open to the visiting bonifaces, and to- night there are quite a number of pack- ages of oranges and lemons which they are going to take back East with them, and they can assure their friends that they picked them with their own hands. It was near noon when all had returned from the drive, and at 12:30 o'clock the great excursion left pleasant Riverside with its members in love with that citrus colony. *“‘All aboard for Coronado!” was the cry of the conductor, and soon the great engines were drawing the heavy trains toward that objective point as the terminus of the week’s outing. Speeding by the old mission at S8an Juan Capistrano, along by the surging surf of the Pacific, the iron horses hurried the trains over plain and mountain; passing “‘Old Town’ many eyes were turned toward the house where Ramona was married, and then the city and bay of San Diego claimed attention. The trains were run out upon the Santa Fe wharf, passengers and baggage were quickly transferred to the ferry and thence to the electric-cars, and at 6:100’clock this evening the last one of the 400 excursion- ists had entered the hospitable doors of the Hotel del Coronado. —_— SOUTH RIVERSIDE’S LOMS, Death of George L. Joy, One of the Town’s Founders. RIVERSIDE, CAL., April 18.—George L. Joy, one of the originators of the South Riverside colony enterprise, and, since 1888, president of the South Riverside Land and Water Col_npan}y, died at South Rifierui}le this mormnlg o plexy. r. Joy was a large-hearted man. Largely though his foresight, pluck and money, the dry South Riverside mesa was made the prosperous colony that it is. He was born in Townshend, Vt., in 1832, and before coming to California was a suc- cessful business man in St. Lows and at Sioux City, Iowa. SRl s g s o TROOPS NEEDED AT ILWACO. Oregon Fishermen Still Disposed to Creats a Disturbance. SEATTLE, Wasn., April 18.—Brigadier- General E. M. Carr returned to-day from Ilwaco, on the Columbia River, the ‘scene of the Fishermen's war. He reported to Governor McGraw that the presence of Harry Hall obtained judgment against the city for $3000 and costs for damages claimed to have beeu suffered by him from the proximity of the sewer farm to his property. Hall to-day commenced another suit to restrain the city from paying anv more money out of the treasury until his claim is setiled. He also asks for a writ of man- damus, directing the proper city officers to issue a warrant to him for $3358 50, the amount of his judgment and costs and 7 er cent interest from the date of the judgment. Another lawsuit in which the city must be a party is forthcoming. This will be an action against ex-City Treasurer M. V. Vanderhoof to recover $1610. This sum troops is still needed, acd the executive has directed ihat they remain there until eace and order is thoroughly restored. The presence of the militia, General Carr says, alone prevents the destruction, at the bands of Oregon fishermen, of 'the traps in Bakers Bay. Waugh Dying in Japan. CHICO, CaL., April 18.—Alexander P. ‘Waugh, formerly & newspaper writer in Chico, and well known all over Butte County, is dying at Yokohama, Japan. Mr. Waugh was a long time editor of the Breeder and Sportsman of San Francisco. A Mr. Thompson, an. old friend of ‘Waugh, who is one of the officers of the steamship Coptic, brought the news to his California friends. st fex years|® MR, -HEARST - RETURNS, The Editor Casts a Few Side lights on National Poli- tics. 'TIS WEINLEY AND WHITNEY. They Will Probably Be the Respec- tive Standard-Bearers of Their Two Great Parties. ‘W. R. Hearst, editor of the New York Journal and the San Francisco Examiner, is home from New York. He will remain here for some time before returning to the scene of his latest effort. Mr. Hearst purchased the New York Journal six months ago. He is'the one man in the United States who controls the destinies of two metropolitan dailies. Ana his success in New York is no less splen- did than his triumph in San Francisco. He went into the Eastern metropolis with that vim and determination peculiar to the man of the West, broke through the crust of old and decayed journalistic cus- toms, and won out on new methods against tremendous disadvantage. Mr. Hearst, with that modesty that be- longs to him, was averse to discussing the success of the Journal under his manage- ment. That he had undergone a hard siege, however, was told in his somewhat re- duced appearance and the fact that he has returned home for a much-needed rest. Mr. Hearst cast a few side lights on the political situation. “McKinley seems to be the strongest candidate,” said the editor. “I remember at about tHie time the candidates for the Republican nomination announced them- selves the New York Journal made a poll of the different States and the Ohio man showed the greatest strength. After the State conventions had been held another poll of the vote was taken. This showed that McKinley would be nominated on the first ballot. However, there is no telling who will be nominated. “Itis much the same with the Demo- crats,” continued Mr. Hearst, ‘‘although the sentiment of the party at this time seems to pe for Mr. Whitney, whose record as Secretary of the Navy apparently car- ries great weight with the people of the United States at this time.” Asked as to Mr. Whitney’s position on the currency question Mr. Hearst said that he did not look upon him as asound money man, so called. “I rather think,” he observed, *‘that he has silver tendencies, as I recall a public statement in which he declared an impar- tial regard for both metals.” Speaking of rumored changes on the Examiner staff, the proprietor of the “Monarch” said: “I see that an evening paper infers that I returned home with the intention of re- moving Mr. Hamilton from the managing editorship of the Examiner. - That im- pression is entirely erroneous. In fact it is quite the other way. I havehad much difficulty in inducing Mr. Hamilton to re- tain his position. “He bas repeatedly resigned the desk, but I prevailed upon him to continue in harness until I should return home. Of course he is a literary man—and as such likes to knock about town, go to the clubs, and have some little time to himself. To him deskwork is distasteful. 'But I am in hopes of having him continue in his posi- tion as the chief of staff. He is exception- ally satisfactory to me and any statement to the contrary is absolutely without foundation. *‘About the Journal? Oh, it is growing,"” { | er's sanity, the result being that the jury said Mr. Hearst, with a smile. “It had a | | circulation of 43,000 when we took hold of it six months ago. Now its circnlation is 227,000. I received a report from Mr. C. M. Palmer, the business manager, stating that the inureese in the circulation for this week was 4740 in the city, and 1888 in the country.” Mr. Hearst said a good word for the Californians now on the staff of the Jour- nal. He prophesied that Homer Daven- port, whose New York success, though sudden, seems to have been permanent, would eventually stand at the head of the caricaturists of the time. S. S. Chamber- lain is managing editor and C. M. Palmer business manager of the journal. They held these respective places on the Examiner and their friends will note their New York success with much delight. A. M. Lawrence returned with Mr. Hearst from New York. There will probably be a big ‘‘shake up" in Mr. Hearst's San Francisco shop just about the time he goes East again, as it is said that his coming to San Francisco at this time means something more to the staft of editors and writers than the ‘“‘glad hand.” ILL VALLEY'S RAILWAY, Work on the Scemic Line Is Progressing With Surpris- ing Rapidity. The Road Will Be Completed in Time for Many Summer Excur sions. MILL VALLEY, Car., April 18.—With a rapidity that is surprising the projectors of the Mill Valley and Mount Tamalpais Ecenic Railway are pushing the work of construction to completion. A large force | of men is at work, and it is the intention to have the road in operation 1n time for the summer travel. It was the original intention to have the work done by June 1, but that is now out of the question, and the cars will not be running before August at the earliest. The rains have interfered considerably with the construction. There has also been trouble with the laborers, but men to | fill the places ot those leaving have been readily obtained, and these interruptions | have not bothered materially. The track is laid through the Corte Ma- dera Canyon for a distance of two miles. This part of the route has been the most difficult to construct, as a number of | bridges were built. The last one, it is ex- pected will be completed this week. For a distance of four miles the route of | the road on the mountain has been graded | and put in condition to receive the ties | and rails as soon as the construction train is able to get this distance. The construction train consists of a sin- gle broad-gauge car, on which has been bui't a derrick, and with this car and the Shay engine in use the work goes rapidly on. There are four trestles on the first two miles of the road. The work of wiring the rails for the electrical power is being done and the men will be put to work building the power-house in a short time. Eoiigs SACRAMENTO VERDICT. By a Vote of 9 to 3, Murderer Simon Raten Is Declared to Be Insane. SACRAMENTO, Car., April 18.—Simon Raten, who is believed to have murdered two Japanese, with whom. he was travel- ing, near this city, some weeks ago, has been declared insane and will be sent to Stockton asylum. His trial for the mur- der will be continued until such time as the experts declare him perfectly rational. There exists strong doubts in the minds of all interested in the case as to whether the | trial will ever be resumed. The entire week has been consumed in hearing testimony relative to the prison- declared him insane by a vote of 9 to 3. i MORMONS WIN APPLAUSE Tabernacle Choir Is a Success. THE AUDIENCE WAS DELIGHTED To-Night the Szason Will Come to an End With a Grand Sacred Concert. The largest audience that the Mormon Tabernacle choir has yet had inthis City was present’ in Metropolitan Temple last night. The programme was composed of more popular music than had been the case on the opening night, ard both the chorus and the soloists received a good deal of applause, including several deter- mined demands for encores. There was a repetition of the fimish of act two in “‘La Traviata,” which was given on Wednesday night, and which for crisp- ness, spirit and attack is about the best piece of work done by the chorus. The “‘Hallelujah” chorns was also repeated, and as before was sung with a good volume of sound, but with too much tendency to insert portamentos where Handel never intended them. The polonaise and chorus from Glinka’s “Life for the Czar,” was rendered with organ accompaniment by J. J. Daynes, and though that instrument detracted a little from the operatic character of the work the chorus went with a good swing notwithstanding. The sextet and chorus from ‘“Lucia’’ showed the want of an orchestra more than did the other operatic selections. The concert opened with the “Soldiers’ Chorus’” from Gounod's “Faust.” The vocal soloists all did good work. Master Pike, the boy alto, was not on the rogramme, but he sang “‘Angels, Ever right and Fair,”” as an encore to the “Lucia’” sixtet. 'The familiar a taken sbout a third lower than the key and every note was sung i quality of production generally described as the third register, which was a very un- common and somewhat unnatural feat, but Master Pike has an uncommon voice, and his singing, which sounds more like counter tenor than alto, is done without muth apparent effort. *“*Angels Ever Bright and Fair,”" was rendered with a good deal of taste and expression. Miss Lizzie Thomas Edward sang an aria from “Ernani,” with charming sweet- ness and care of execution, snd Miss Bes- sie Dean Allison showed herself to be pos- sessed of a well-produced contralto voice, | though she indulged a little oo much in the tremolo.
