THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1896. LEAVES A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION, Sandusky County in Ohio Swept by a Terrible Cyclone. DEATH IN ITS WAKE. One Farmhouse Twisted Into Ruins and the Occupants Fatally Mangled. NARROW ESCAPE OF FREMONT. ‘Warning Received in the Form of a Hurricane and a Great Deluge of Rain. FREMONT, Osro, April 20.—The rural part of Sandusky County was stricken by & cyclone this afternoon which left death and destruction in its wake. The city narrowly escaped. The dead and injured so far as known are: W. L. Greene, a well-to-do farmer, body crushed out of shape; James Greene, son, found dead and mangled near the ruin of his resi- dence; Mrs. James Greene, his wife, injured by flying timber, may die. The residents of this city first saw the approcching cyclone about 3 o'clock. Warning had come in the form of a hurri- cane of wind and a deluge of rain. The eyclone seemed to be on the point of con- tact with the city, when it swerved around and passed northwest in a semicircle, leveling all things in its path. The path of the storm was about halfa mile in width, distant from the city three miles. The tail end of the cyclone touched here, but did little damage. Soon after the passage of the main storm news of its destructive force was received from the rounding country. A party of physi- cians and other citizens was quickly formed to traverse the scene of desolation and help the victims who were alive. Big stretches of valuable timber land were laid low like a field of corn, with only a solitary tree at long distances. Farmhouses and barns were demolished, livestock in large numbers was killed and found in all con- ceivable places about the farms and in the open country. W.L. Greene’s residence was crushed to splinters, and the house of his dead son fared the same fate. Much of the country in the path of the storm was not occupiea by farmhouses or the loss of life would have been greater. The storm kept on with slightly dimin- ished in force westward through the oil fielas, but the damage reported is not great. The loss in Sandusky County will amount to many thousands of dollars, and no storm like it has ever visited this sec- tion. Itisfeared there has been destruc- tion and loss of life or injury that has not been reported yet. SENATOR MORGAN SEEKS JUSTICE Contiued from First Page central arteries of trade that span the continent have withstood all manner of interference and are still able to yield a revenue that rebukes the false pretense that they are about to become a burden on the Government. *“I cannot now pause to lay the full proof of this statement before the Senate. Much of the evidence has been before you for a long time, so long indeed, that it has almost disappeared through the industry of those who are interested in its suppres- eion, but enough is still in reach to enable us, at a more suitable time, to expose the crimes of those who have sought to bury the truth out of sight. When it is more appropriate to uncover the foul and des- perate wrongs, those will be found who will assume the task, without fear, fayor, or affection, reward or the hope thereof. “The dividends that have been paid to stockhoiders would have paid all the debts of each of these companies it they had been placed in a sinking fund. The fla- grant dishonesty of this diversion of money that should have been applied to the debts of these companies into the pockets of stockholders is a monstrous enormiiy which Collis P. Huntington, when under oath, justified on the sole ground that such an honest policy would have been a ‘novelty.’ “While this was going on these railroad companies were enjoying the advantages of that strange act of Congress which post- poned the right of the Government to col- lect from these companies the interest it was paying on the subsidy bonds until the bonds themselves should fal! due. Con- gress was probably moved by the grandenr of this enterpriss and an overestimate of its cost to yield to the importunities of these companies for the enactment of this pecu- liar law. Witha lobby that cost more than 000,000 at the Pacific end of the line that is yet in active corruption vomiting frauds and falsehood with shameless effrontery, and with a Credit Mobilier at the other end of the line that has stained the records of Congress, nothing has been omitted that couid be done to make the Govern- ment build these roads at its own cost and then at the end of thirty years to abandon its interest in them to the contrivers of this plot, rather than pay the principal of the bonds doubled in amount by the still stranger act which, for the first time in our history, gave priority to a private debt over the debt due the Government. We have before us the startling result in a lump sum of $164,818,523, for which we are tryving to provide with the feeble efforts of divided counsels, if not severe antagonisms. “Iwould as soon sell our entire fieet to Great Britain as to abandon our govern- mental control over the Union and Cen- tral Pacific railroads. Europe can now control every other transcontinental rail- road in America except this system, and will control this when the United States has withdrawn its authority over these railroads. “Neither the people nor Congress can ever be safe from the intrigues that will constantly aim to lessen these powers.’ And without the aid of severe penai stat- utes the protection from them against the abuse of the powers of corporations in levying excessive or discriminating rates of charges for transportation they will re- cumvention unless Congress retains ite power over them. “It cannot be too often repeated or too firmly insisted that Congress must never relax its authority over these railroads. With these roads operated as separate and competing lines, and with the Southern Pacific ana Central Pacific in the owner- ship of the same man or same body of controlling men, the fate of the people of the Pacific slope would be settled forever as mere feudatories of railroad kings by that lust for money and power that has no interest in its victims except to keep them bound in a servitude that will yield to them the greatest possible revenue. His- tory has already so thoroughly established these facts in the terrible experience of the people of the Pacific States that it would insult their intelligence to deny them or to attempt to evade their force. *“The Central Pacific and Southern Pa- ific railroads should be competing lines and the union of interests between them should be forbidden by law. They are virtually parallel roads, yet they belong to the same persons, are unlawifully under the control of the same man and the Cen- tral Pacific is, in fact, leased to the South- ern Pacific. Five men who owned stock in the Central Pacific and a few who owned that of the Union Pacific built them under contracts made with them- selves through a ‘contract and finance company’ and ‘credit mobilier company,’ which they also owned,and they have blazed up before the country in a glitter of wealth that eclipses the wealth of the greatest monarchs of the earth. “They swarm the corridors of the Capi- peat their past bistory of frand and cir HE AI_']SBUPIG'S tol with agents and lobbyists and com- QUEEN CHOSEN, Miss Alice Haigh Elected Ruler of the Flower Festival, FRIENDS ARE JUBILANT.

Refusing to account for trust funds, they have received and car- ried into their closets fortunes which would more than pay the companies out of the debt and still leave them rich, they de- mand that Congress shall wait a century for the payment of what they have left to us as a legacy of crime, and shall surren- der to them under a new contract and new conditions of this national highway for half its value. “These two companies have made direct assaults upon Congress, frequently at- tended with criminal overiures and in- ducements that have made them stench in the nostrils of all honest men. My apology for these protracted views is that the sub- ject is of the highest importance, that it involves the rights of the Government and welfare of millions of people, and the plan I propose represents, as I conceive, the only effectual means of saving interests that will otherwise be sacrificed, of many helpless people, that it will defeat the machinations of powerful men to compel Congress to yield toand to confirm a series of frauds that have seld¢ had a parallel in human history, and it will defeat a monopoly in an insolent and destructive crusade against the general welfare of the people.” ALBERTY'S DEED JUSTIFIED. Hud a Right to Kill Duncan for Attempting to Forcibly Enter His Wife's Room. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.—Some amusement was created in the Supreme Court of the United States to-day by the announcement of the opinion of the court in the case of the appeal of Ea Alberty, alias Charles Burnes, an Indian of negro blood, from the judgment of the United States Court for the western district of Arkansas, condemning him to death for killing Phil Duncan, a negro in the Chero- kee nation, May 16, 1879. The doctrine of retreat as laid down by Judge Parker in his instructions to the jury was challenged by Alberty’s attorney. It appears that Duncan had been paying such attentions to Alberty’s wife as to cause a separation. On the night of the day in question Alberty saw a man climb- ing into the window of his wife’s bedroom, and upon accosting the intruder, Duncan, whom he recognized by his voice, threat- ened to kill, and pursuant to the threat “made for him.” Alberty shot and killed him. Judge Parker told the jury that Al- berty was in law and duty bound to re- treat as far as he could or disable his ad- versary without killing him. ‘“Ihis,” said Justice Brown, “was an error. We think tiat under the circum- stances, seeing a man endeavoring to force entrance into his wife's bedroom, the hus- band was justified in pursuing his investi- gation and to vrevent, by force if neces- sary, the accomplishment of the intruder’s purpose. And if in the course of that in- vestigation he is threatened with at bodily hnrm or put in fear of his life, ir:is not obliged to retreat, but is justified in reais'.inlg attack by any weapon within his power. The judgment was reversed, with in- structions to grant a new trial. —— Must Pay in Nevada. WABHINGTON, D. C., April 20,—The Central Pacific Railroad Company, said the Supreme Court of the United States in an opinion delivered by Justice Brown, must pay taxes on the lands of its grant within the State of Nevada which have been surveyed but not patented, the costs for the survey not being pald. The taxa- tion of such land, the opinion said, was specifically authorized birect of Congress of July 10,1886, Justice Field dissented, burg to-night he would have imagined a Fourth of July celebration was on. An- vils were booming, bells ringing and whis- tles tooting, and the admirers of Miss Alice Haigh were cheering themselves hoarse. All this demonstration was dne to the fact that the contest between the rival candidates for queen of Healdsburg's floral festival was at an end, and Miss Haigh was the charming young lady se- lected to wear the floral crown. The closing hours of tke contest were most exciting. Miss Oza Waldrop with- drew early in the day, and although only the friends of Miss Edna Biddle knew that no contest was being made for her she, too, was out of the race. Had Miss Biddle permitted her friends to vote the result might have been different, for she is a great favorite here. All day long many stood around the voting place, and every now and then a fat envelope would be deposited in the box. Near the time when the contest was to close hundreds crowded around the box and great excite- ment prevailed. When the result was an- nounced the cheering began and the noise 'was continued long into the night. Miss Alice Haigh to-day received 5305 votes, while Miss Petray received 1203. For the entire contest 10,905 votes were cast. Miss Petray is at Sonoma, attending the teachers’ institute, and had school been in session to-day it is more than likely the vote for the pretty teacher would have been heavier. Miss Alice Haigh is a brunette of com- manding appearance. She is a native daughter, having been born in Healds- burg. The young lady will make an ideal ruler. gt Ll Redwood City’s Beauty Contest. REDWOOD, Cav., April 20.—Miss Lil- lian Newman of Woodside leads to-night in the contest for carnival queen by a plu- rality of 424 votes. Miss Henrietta Law- ler of Menlo Park is second and Miss Annie Goggin of South San Francisco third. A heavy vote is expected to-mor- row, and some surprises may be looked for before the polls close finally at 5 o'clock. Miss Newman has been in the contest but a few days, but is makinga splendid showing. ——- The Vote at Chico. CHICO, Cav., April 20.—The balloting for May queen will close on’the evening of April 23. The ballots were counted to- day, and the result was as follows: Miss Clara Cussick 556, Miss Freida Junkans 545, Miss Bessie Collins 89, Miss Maber Merry 62. —_— SNAKYK RIVER MINING. Gold to Be Taken From Beneath the Water by a Strange Process. SEATTLE, WasH., April 20.—G, W.Wil- liams of Boise, Idaho, is in this city pur- chasing machinery for a steamboat to be operated upon Snake River, and in con- nection therewith an invention which he claims will successfully extract flour gold from the black sand over which the stream flows. His discovery brings in a new principle, and 1n the process he uses a mineral the name of which he will not disclose. The scheme involves the application of superheated steam that crusbes the sand, which, after going through machinery, passes off as muddy water. No stamp- mill or grinding process is used. Instead two steam jets of many thousand pounds power per second are made to play against one another, and into this vortex of power ana heat the sand passes. By this process the search for gold is not prosecuted along the banks of streams and in beds of dry canyons and gulches, but on the contrary the sand is taken from beneath the water, and often at an unusual depth. R0 R 2108 ANGELES BENCH SHOW. Aristocratic Canines to Be Exhibited to an Admiring Public. LOS ANGELES, CAL., April 20.—The eighth apnual bench show of the Southern California Kennel Club begins to-morrow and will remain open four days. There are 225 entries, and 212 dogs will be benched, including some of the most valuable animals in the State. Twenty-seven St. Bernards are entered, among them being John G. Barker's Calis fornia Bernards and Thomas H. Brown- ing’s Grand Master. Of Great Danes there are seventeen, J. G. Borgloni’s Titan, val- ued at $2500, being probably the finest specimen. 2 The entries of pointers are numerous and of English setcers good, H. G. Payne’s Countess Noble being probably the most prominent in the latter class. The cocker spaniel class is filled up better than ever before. The judging, by J. Otis Fellows of New York, will commence to-morrow afternoon. e MISSING FROM VISALIA. Witnesses in the Train-Robbers® Have Gone to Other Fields. VISALIA, Carn. April 20.—Si Lovren’s and Charles Ardell’s preliminary examin- ation for attempting to rob Southern Pa- cific passengers on train 19, near Tagus, on March 18, has been continued for the fourtn time. They will not be arraigned until April 29. Jim Edwards, a witness for the prosecution who had been duly subpenaed, was not present, and an at- tachment was ordered issued for him. Ed- wards went to Los Angeles last week. He was the bartender in Lovren’s saloon at the time of the attempted robbery. E.J. Purcell is also wanted by the prosecution. Purcell is the witness who heard Ardell say, “We will blow open the car door with dynamite if it cannot be opened inany other way."” Case — e — San Luis Obispo’s Loss.

FAIR MILDRED’S LEGION Masked Pirates of the Festal Main Will Gain for Her . a Stronghold. A CAGE FOR THEIR CAPTIVES, \ The Rich and the Beautiful to Be Thrown Into Dungeons and Held for Ransom. LOS ANGELES, CAvL., April 20.—From Banta Barbara to Los Angeles is a stretch of 130 miles. From the festival of flowers in the quaint old seaside town to the fiesta of the angels in this Southern California metropolis is the span of a hundred years. Santa Barbara retains the characteris- tics of the first Spanish settlement. 1t is secluced, dreamy, poetic, quiet. Its festi- val was quiet, vision-like and without the harsh features that are common in the displays intended to represent and foster commerce and trade. The people of Santa Barbara decorated their streets and their homes as the Span- iards of the earlier days might have deco- rated their shrines. Los Angeles has all the rush and the en- thusiasm, the reckless and reckonless bril- liancy that charactlerize the rapidly pro- gressing American cities. It is a modern, up-to-date railroad center, the metropoli- tan embodiment of the enterprise and success of the glorious southern portion of rich and marvelous California. It is not secluded; it is not dreamy nor poetic; it is not quiet. To-night there is not a quiet man within the recently extended city limits. The city’s fiesta is not vision-like. There is as much trade and business about it, propor- tionately, as in an international exposition at Chicago. The festival at Santa Barbara was a memory of the past—full of romantic in- spiration and beauty. This fiesta goes even ahead of the present and is a glorious prediction of the future. The word car- nival was too harsh for the gentle Bar- barenos. iesta was not modest and sim- vle enough, and so the fete was the festi- val of flowers. Here the sentiment is different. The modesty in the choice of words gives way to the sense of business. Not merely a festival of flowers will the southern metropolis have, but far and wide over the broad, admiring earth is advertised the Fiesta of the Angels. The effort of the Angeleno is not to hide his place of business behind a wealth of palms and flowers, but to aid in giving an artistic effect to the city streets. The flowers are made in garlands, the deco- rators put up whole acres of gorgeous colors, but the commercial names and an- nouncements are seen through all. All the streets of the city are in the car- nival colors—red, yellow and green. Every structure has bloomed into gorgeousness, as if by a law like that which compels the trees to send out their spring-time verdure, Visitors might have been counted to-day n arriving thousands. Trainloads of peo- ple came from the scene of the Santa Bar. bara festivities, and in the coming they looked upon the Camulos rancho of Ra- mona. Excursion parties of tourists came from the arbutus land of the East to what would have been their June month at home, so far as the weather conditions were concerned. Californians came, too, and a large pro- portion of the names on the hotel regis- ters are of San Francisco residents. A bustling, busily moving throng marks every block of the city center, but yet there is no appearance of any thought more serious than that of the idleron a happy holiday in summer. The fiesta programme has not been reached, but all the city is in fiesta mood, and there wiil be no cessation of the merriment until fiesta week is ended. At 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon the fiesta will be officially insugurated. The opening will be of a lively, stirring nature, very different from a quiet production of Shakespeare comedy under the old live- oaks at Santa Barbara, Two thousand MISS NELLIE PETRAY OF HEALDSBURG. [From & mhotograph.d masked men will assail the city, surging in from Hazard’s Pavilion to capture and carry away whatever natives may com- mand ransoms. The police will be power- less and the marines who survived last week's battle of the roses have not arrived from Admiral Beardslee’s flagship, the Philadelphia. . A huge cage will be hauled along, and in that the prisoners will make up a strongly assorted collection. It is said that one corpulent and equally volient member of the police force 1s determined to face and resist the pirate horde, and, of course, he will ride in the cage when his fight is ended. Modern pirates need a typewriter to take care of their diplomatic correspondence concerning ransoms, and & fair young maiden of the keyboard letters will be among the captives. The intention is to make the invasion realistic as may be, and apparently serious resistance will be offered by the hurriedly organized squads of citizens. Not all the maskers will be in the guise of pirates, and the costumes will include some of the most elaborate of the old-time English court. In the maskers’ party, led by Ron- covieri’s band, will be several local orzan- izations and a body of 200 or more com- mercial travelers who are in the city. The great fear on the part of the citizens isthat the commercial men will take everything in sight. A Chinese band has been organized for the parade, and on this or some succeeding occasion a Chinese dragon will be dis- played. The dragon is 800 feet long, and its power of locomotion will be supplied by 150 Chinaman concealed within the de- vice. The fiesta queen will arrive at Hazard’s Pavilion to-morrow evening. After the opening selections by Roncovieri’s band, R. L. Del Valle will greet her majesty in loyal speech. The Mayor of Los Angeles will present a suver key ot the city, which will be ac- cepted by the Prime Minister, T. E. Gib- bons. After the ceremonies Roncovieri’s band will give its first illustrated concert of operatic and patriotic music. The different numbers will be illustrated upon a large canvas by the aid of electric apparatus. The fiesta parade of Wednesday after- noon will display the military bodies, fire departments and fraternal organizations of this section. The Spanish caballeros, or horsemen, will be as picturesque as at Santa Barbara, and more numerous. There will bea large tribe of Arizona Indians and a Chinese section. The concert at the pavilion on Wednes- day will be by an opera of fifty musicians, with a chorus of 300 voices. Harley Hamilton is the director and the soloists are Andrew Bogart, Mrs. Maude Berry Fisher and Mrs. Charles Dickman. There will be athletic games on Thurs- day. The “Land of the Sun” parade on Thursday evening promises to combine the dazzling nature of the Admission day elec- tric display at Sacramento with the beauty of Santa Barbara’s floral pageant. The Friday celebration will be patriotic. Fourteen thousand school children, after saluting the Fiesta Queen, will march to Sixth-street Park, sing National airs and hoist the flag. There will be a display of fireworks in the evening. The otherevents on the programme are the ball on Friday evening and the floral parade and battle of roses on Saturday. STANFORD V5. BERKELEY Palo Alto Expects to Triumph in the Intercollegiate Contest. Athletes Who Will Wear the Cardinal, and the Records They Have Made. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., April 20.—On Wednesday next the Stanford nine will cross bats for the first intercol- legiate game of the season with Berkeley. The teams will be closely matched, and unfortunately for Stanford several of her vlayers are in poor condition. It is hoped that all will be ready for hard ball-playing when they go against Berkeley, for the latter showed up very strongly in the recent game with Santa Clara. Captain McLain believes his team will prove vic- torious in the series of games, but hardly counts on winning all three contests. As theday for the intercollegiate field meet draws nearer Stanford is casting about for means of estimating herstrength as compared with that of Berkeley. Here- tofore U. C. has proven victorious by a considerable margin in points, but each year this margin has been made smaller. This season Berkeley claims to have the strongest aggregation of athletes she ever sent out, and yet the Stanford men feel that the contest will result in bring- ing the two teams to very near even terms. Stanford has not as many athletes as has Berkeley for each event, but all she has are good and will give their contestants a hard struggle. It will be one of the most interesting field meets ever held on this coast and Berkeley will have to fight hard for every point. 3 In the 100-yard dash Stanford will prob- ably enter three men—Bernhard '96, Brun- ton '99, and Holbrook ’97. The first two can run inside of 10 2-5 seconds if in good form and the latter will get within a fifth of a second of that mark. In the 220-yard dash Bernhard will make Berkeley’s first man hustle. In the 440-yard dash Brun- ton will disappoint his admirers if he fails to go inside of 54 seconds; while Colliver ’96, and others will be able to make good tries for the other places. The half mile will be a weak event from Stanford. She no lon: erflpnsueses Copeland, who made it in 1:59 flat. 7 Barkeleg will probably get first in the hurdles, but Stanford bas reason to ex- pect points in other places if Reynolds ’96, Dole ’98, and Pope '97 work up to n‘z)&i}r averages. Reynolds has made the 2 yard hurdle in 27 2-5 and the 120 yardsin 163-5, He is running better now than ever before. Dole is improving wonder- fully in the hurdles and in the recent trlials has pushed Reynolds hard for first place. 5 g At the pole vault Dole will easily get first and will probably raise the coast record about three inches. Brunton should make a good third. The broad jump is doubtful, though Brunton and Toombs, '96, both cover over twenty feet of space in their trials. Stan- ford concedes first place in the high jump, but will contest the other places. Dave Brown should 'win the mile handily for the cardinal, and Smith, who will probably run with him, has a show for second unless Brown’s brother enters for Berkeley. If Edgren enters Berkeley will get first in the hammer throw, but Stanford, wi‘h Wilbur '99, Fickert '98 and Hazzard '96, all throwing over 125 feet, should get the other places. Barring accident the shot-put is a Stan- ford event. Wilburshould toss the sphere about 40 feet 9 inches if in form. e A Death at Woodland. WOODLAND, Car., April 20.—Mrs. H.

Serious Injury Escaped in but a Few Localities—Walnut Creek’s Loss. WOODLAND, Carn., April 20.—The grape crop of Yolo County is a total loss. Of the thousands of acres of vines notone green leaf could be found after last night’s frost. Such. is the condition of the im- mense vineyard of H. C. Howard, presi- dent of the Wooaland Fruit Exchange. The vines in the foothills, in favored spots, escaped serious iniury. Mr. How- ard believes that the damage to vines alone in this county will reach $100,000. e Riverside Crops Injured. RIVERSIDE, Car., April 20.—Quite a heavy frost visited sections of this county last night, and damage was done to apri- cots, almonds, peaches and other fruits. No damage was done to citrus blossoms, and it is hard to determine the amount of in- jury to the deciduous crop. Good judges say that the percentage is light, and that the real loss will be small in the aggregate. The weather has been unusually cold for this season. Al e Damage at Walnut Creek. WALNUT CREEK, CAL., April 20.—The severe frost of last night turned every grapevine biack and ruined the cherry crop. Potatoes have suffered everywhere. The weather was so coid that in some parts of this valley pumps and water pipes were frozen. The grain crop has notlooked better in many years. The total rainfall of the season is twenty inches. VISALIA WATER WAR. Ditch Compantes Quarrel Over the Ka- ‘weah River Supply. VISALIA, CaL., April 20.—About two weeks ago the Farmers' Ditch Company secured an injunction against the Kaweah and Mill Creek Water Company restrain- ing it from putting in a dam where Deep Creek takes its water from the Kaweah. An argument was made before Judge Cross on Tuesday in which it was sought to have the injunction set aside. The court still has the matter under advise- ment. A number of people who are interested in taking water outof Mill Creek in the neighborhood of Visalia and around Gosh- en went to the point at which the water is diverted by Deep Oreek on Saturday might and put in a dam seventy-five feet long, ten feet wide and three or four feet high, As a result there is plenty of water in Mill Creek to-day. The Farmers’ Ditch Com- pany were to-day enjoined from cutting out the dam in the Kaweah River, at the head of Deep Creek, or from diverting any water from the river. The injunction was secured in court by the Evans Ditch Com- pany, the Watson Ditch Company and several riparian owners of Lower Mill Creek. The matter will probably occupy the attention of the courts for some time.
