The sounding board over the stage has been decorated and transformed into a mam- moth sunflower. Over 4000 chairs have been placed on the floor of the pavilion, and these with the gallery will give a seat- ing capacity of nearly 7000. The convention was formally opened this evening at the First M. E. Church. The meeting opened with praise service, after which William G. Alexander, presi- dent of the Santa Clara County Christian Endeavor Union, delivered an address of welcome, as follows: Fellow-Endeavorers: We have been looking forward 1o your coming with the keenest an- ticipations of pleasure. It is for this meeting we have been planning for the past months, and if you are as giad to be here to-night as we are to have you there mever was a happier gathering. As president of theSanta Clara County Union I bid you welcome to our Garden City, famed not only for fruit and flowers but also for its faithful Endeavorers. We salute you as sworn soldiers of the Great Captain of our salvation— as comrades in the grand army of the Re- deemer. We welcome you because you accept the Bible as the word of God—as the unbroken sword of the spirit, vietorious in every battle. We welcome you because you are pledged work- ers; because you stand for something. You represent a fellowship broader than denomina- tional lines, We have the same purpose, and our hearts and wills shouid be united and our efforts combined on every field against a common foe. We welcome you because you stand for good citizenship, pure politics and honest government; because of enthusiastic sym- pathy and support to the great enterprises of the church; because we believe this conven- tion will be & great power forgood. Letustrust and pray that this meeting shall lift usup to higher heights and bring uscloser to our blessed Redeemer than ever before—a very mount of transfiguration, where we may see our Savior and hear the voice of our heavenly Father saying, “This is my beloved Son; hear ye him”'; that we shall go from here filled with greater knowledge, love and power; with our purposes in life broadened, our enthusiasm awakened and our strength incressed; that our lights may so shine that men may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. To this welcome State Secretary Leonard Merrill of Los Angeles spoke fervently in response as follows: No words from me are needed to express our thanks for the cordizality of your greeting and eincerity of your welcome. Asto you, dear En- deavorers of San Jose and Santa Clara County, in all the preparations and money expended, as we have seen, we believe it is not only for us but also for our Lord and Master, King Jesus, “whose we are and whom we serve,” to whom we look as our guide and eternal leader. Henry Ledyard, president of the Junior Endeavorers, welcomed the Juniors, and was responded to by Edwin Baxter of Los Angeles.

Fay, a candidate for Councilman from the Second Ward st the last city election, to-day filed a suit in the Superior Court contesting the right of Homer Prindle to a seat in the Council from tie Second Ward. Prindle was declared elected over Fay by thirteen votes.

CHICO ASSASSINS. Frank Heckart Shot at Twice While Rid- ing Home At Night. CHICO, Car, May 14.—Last evening Frank B. Heckartrode over from his home in Clear Creek to Pentz. He was return- ing about 10 o’clock in the evening when his horse suddenly sprang to one side and a bullet whizzed close to his head. The horse sprang forward and the rider leaned over as low as possible, but a second bullet was fired which seemed to almost touch his back. The would-be assassins were two in number and were standing close to the road. The flash of a pistol enabled Heckart to see a man hclding a pistol in both hands and another man standing alongside of bim, but their hats were pulled down so low over their faces that he was not able to recognize them. W CHURCH. CHICC’S N Episcopalians Meet, Organize and Elect Officers. CHICO, CAL.. May 14.—A la number of the leading and wealthy citizens of Chico organized an Episcopal church con- gregation last evening. Rev. A. George of Yreka has given two highly interesting sermons here. It was decided to name the church the St. John Chapel. The first ces will be held in Chico Sunday, 1896. The following officers were Church warden, G. H. Taylor; L. G. Faulkner; treasurer, kner. A ladies’ guild was also organized, with the following officers: President, Mrs. L. Stansbury; vice-presi- dent, Mrs. Helen M. Tilden; treasurer, Mrs. Charles Faulkner; secretary, Mrs. C. B. Swain. PREVIOUS CHARACTER. Mr. Highton Trying to Find Out What Kind of a Woman Mrs. Ashley Was. For the first time since the trial began the character of Miss Lillhian Ashley before she met E. J. Baldwin has been inquired into. Mr. Highton in his cross-examina- tion terday asked ber some very perti- nent questions regarding her experiences before she met Baldwin. The questions were not let go without much opposition from counsel for plaintiff, and as the cross-examination lawbooks piled higher tables before the court. Judge Slack repeated nis desire that some court other than his own should try the case, or that a jury be impaneled, but counsel were unwilling to transfer the suit, and the plaintiff 15 still without means enough to put up the fees, so the action must continue where it is. AFTER BALDWIN’S SCALP. A Stranger Visits the Marshal and Threatens Him With Violence. United States Marshal Barry Baldwin listened to a man call him all sorts of unpleasant names yesterday morning, and he neither resented it nor had the fellow put out of the office. The reason of Barry’s quiet submission was that he had loaned his gun to a friend, and he also en- tertained the feeling that the fellow doing the talking had a bomb up his sleeve. Shortly after the Marshal’s office opened a big fellow with rusty knuckles and a soiled shirt walked in and demanded to see Mr. Baldwin. He gave the glassy eye to Mr. Ferris when that gentleman offered him the glad "h.’s Baldwin 1 want,”” he shouted. “Where is Baldwin ?"’ Barry was within arm’s reach, but Fer- ris, not knowing just how his superior was fixed, replied that the Marshal was out; :iu (acl he would not be in for a couple of ays. Then the stranger turned himself loose. He said all manner of unpleasant things about Sacramento—soldiers and strikers and other matters before the public two years ago. He threatened the Marshal with all sorts of vengeance, and then tell- ing Mr. Ferris that he would call again backed out of the room and disappeared aown the long corridor. “Well, I'm —,” said Marshal Baldwin, as he drew a long breath, the first since the fellow entered the room. The man is not known around the Fed- eral building. He is supposed to be a crank with a grievance resulting from the railroad smke of 1894, BEPUBLICAN COUNCILS. The County Committee’s Brief Monthly Meeting. The regular monthly meeting of the Re- publican County Committee in Shiels building last evening wasa brief one, only a little routine business being transacted. Chairman C. W. Manwaring, Secretary Jackson, and twelve other county com- mitteemen were present. The only business of importance was the announcement by Chairman Manwar- ing of several appointments to standing committees to fill vacancies caused by resignations or otherwise. For the vacan- cies on the executive committee caused by the late resignations of Messrs. Prender- gast and Watson and the death of J. E. Donovan, Grove P. Ayers, John Brown- m% and Charles C. Clear were named. he committee on club organization was filled by the appounment. of P. J. Waish and G. Bacigalupi in the places of Measrs. Prendergast and Watson, resigned. The other member of the committee is John Jackson. Grove P. Ayers took the place on the finance committee formerly filled by C. C. Morris. The present is rather a period of rest with the party organization, but it will not be long before activity will be revived in anticipation of the municipal campaign. HALF-RATE TICKETS. Visitors to Conventions Will Get Them Under Certain Conditions, The Transcontinental Traffic Association met again yesterday in the Palace Hotel and beard a report from the committee appointed Wednesday on half-fares for conventions. If was recommended by the committee that practically a hali-way fare be adopted, rogressed and higher on the but it should be governed by certain con- ditions, which tue association shouid determine. The day was spent in endeavoring to solve this difficult problem,lher it had be- come apparent 1o the association that re- strictive measures should be adopted to prevent the misuse of convention tickets. The main bugaboo before the associa- tion was the scalper, who would reap a harvest upon these half-price tickets. To make such a thing almost impossible a plan was nearly completed by which agents at points of rycslmntmn would issue certificates to identified holders of hali-tickets. With cards of identification the travelers wou!d be permitted to return on their reduced rales. Under this pro- vision, too, scalpers would bave a hard task to deceive ticket agents and con- ductors. i Tue matter will be further discussed to- ay. !ley indulged in a mil EXTENDING THE SERVICE, New Life Saving Station Just Completed at Cape Disap- pointment. Yaquina Bay Statien Fitled Up and Now Manned by a Full Crew. The buildings for the housing of a life- saving crew, with all necessary appliances, at Cape Disappointment, Bakers Bay, were formally turned over to the Govern- ment by the contractors last week, and on \Iondny the new crew took chnrge. The bill authorizing a station at Cape Disappointment was passed by Congress nearly twelve months ago, but the delays incident to Government work prevented | the contractors, Nichols & Crouthers, Tacoma, from beginning operations unul a few weeks ago. The station consists of a main one and a half story frame structure, sufficiently commodious to accommodate not only the keeper and crew, but such belated travelers as may chance their way. The construc- tion of the dwelling throughout is designed to make a tight and warm struct ure, avoid- ing inclosed air spaces, relying upon an increased thickness of mnon-conducting material to accomplish this result. The taken off their coats and hats and bowed many times to their howling audiences. Slgns of every description were put upin conspicnous places about the buildings and campus, with the purpose of misdi- recting the credulous and unsuspectin youths. Snch posters as these were toun tacked up on all sides: “Apply to the Recorder for Meal Tickets,” “Recordey g Office in Basement of South Hall,” “*Ap- ply to the Armorer for Your Military Suu and Gun."” “Library for Girls Only,”” “All Applicants for Admission to the Univer- sity Must First Secure Privileges of the Buildings from Jimmie the Janitor,” “Please Remove Hats in the Hallways, “Lunch Served in Stiles Hall at 12 »." All the gibes and joshes of the year were used in making iun of the freshies. The same old custom of causing extreme embarrassment for those taking the “exes’ was given a new lease of life. No vio- lence was practiced, but merely a lot of harmless fun was created. | Some of those who were bemg nagged | showed fight, but they were outaumbered, and in consequence decided that it was not best to push their side of the case, but to take thir medicine. Another Special Election. BERKELEY, CAL, May 14.—The third special election in Berkeley this year will be held next Saturday. The same measure which has been voted on at the two pre- vious elections, that of calling for school bonds, will be a zain brought before the citizens for consideration. The third elec- tion has been called at the instance of the Board of Education, and the amount 10 voted for has been set at $22,500, to be raised by direct taxation. The board has issued 2 notice stating the several uses to which the money will be put if raised, as follows: First—To build an eight-room grammar CAPE DISAPPOINTMENT'S PROPOSED NEW LIFE.SAVING STATION. floors are double with felt between under and upper floor. Just in the rearof the main building is a small oné-story frame structure with attic. This will be used as a workshop and storm- | clothesroom. In front of the commodious | quarters of the keeper and crew is the | carthouse, used for the storing of life-sav- ing apparatus. To the right of this cart- house is a well-equipped launching ways, rendering it possible to launch a boat in any kind of weather. All the buildings | described are buiit on a whar! which ex- tends some distance into the bay. The station at Cape Disappointment costs complete $12,000, the apparatus and interior furnishings eating up $4500 of this sum. The station at Yaquina Bay has recently been refitted and is now manned by a full crew. CONTRACTORS AT 0UTS, Will Schmidt and John Stutt of Berkeley Indulge in a Brawl. Schmidt Is Arrested op a Charge of Threatening to Attempt to Com. mit Marder. BERKELEY, CaL., May 14.—Hostilities were renewed yesterday between Will Schmidt and John Stutt, two street con- tractors, and before they got through it is said that giant-powder cartridges were about to be used as weapons. Last week they indulged in an embroglio over the right to use a certain piece of land on Wheeler street for carting purposes. Schmidt swore out a complaint for the ar- rest of Stutt and the latter to retaliate had Schmidt arrested. This morning | Schmidt was brought inte custody ona charge of threatening to attempt to com- mit murder because of the alleged intro- duction of the giant powder cartridges upon the scene of hostilities. He is accused of having placed the pow- der under a heavy pile of stones and touch- ing off the fuse with the purpose of causing the destruction of Stutt and his gang of men. Each contractor tells a different story. The case of Schmidt came up before Judge Lord this morning. He was present, with Attorney Nusbaumer as counselor, and Stutt was represented by District Attor- ney Snook. After the reading of the com- plaint, which charged Schmidt with at. tempt to commit murder, Judge Lord decided to refer the matter to the District Attorney to determine if it is according to law to issue a warrant under such cir- cumstances. This afterncon Schmidt swore out a warrant for the arrest of A. H. Broad, an employe of Stutt, on the charge of mali- cious mischief, conuiaung of tearing upa portion of sidewalk, which act Schmidt claimed was detrimental to his interests. “Preps”” Run the Gantlet, BERKELEY, Can., May 14.—The fow remaining umvenlt{ students in Berke- d sort of hazin aay, taking for their subjects the emgrv treshmen who had come from various sec- tions of the country to take their entrance “exes.” All manner of sport was made of | the young Hl h School lads, and the trick-loving col! ginns did not stop at any- thing save ily injury to make it inter- esting for the “‘greenies,” as they were calied. All day long they were haggled and menaced, especially by the members of the sophomore clas; 2. The first mmg this morning a crowd of the “‘preps’’ were met at the west entrance to the grounds and pledged not to cheat in the ‘‘exes”; they were then taken to the gymnasium and had a fake registra- tion worked off on them. Several of the innocent young students were invited to the various ‘““irat” houses for lunch by men who bad no authority to do so, and in consequence, when they showed up for the noonday meal they were given the coid shoulder. Asa further means of “jollying up the freshies,” the sophs made them to run the gantlet of a dozen or more men, who ,1. ped them bare-handed on their heads made them to stand on tables and re- hu their histories. This last ordeal was not enforced until the youths had first school building on Dwightway school lot. Second—To make a suitable addition to | | the Lorin schoolhouse and lot. Third—To purchase a school lot and to | build a three-room primary school build- inn thereon south of University avenue.

Most of the Productions Are Nearing the ¥nd of Their Seasons. “The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown,” with Eddie Foy and his company will run the week out at the Baldwin Theater. The last performance will be given on Sunday night. Next Monday night Ada Rehan, accompanied by Augustin Daly’s company, will make her appearance.

A Barytone Who Covers Himself With Glory—All the Princi- pals Applauded Friends ana admirers of the Ziliani Musical Society aimost filled the Bush- street Theater last night and their enthu- siasm brimmed over in the shape of ap- plause, encores, and such quantities of flowers that at the end of the second act the tenor, exhausted with lifting them over the footlights, and seeing no room to’} stow away any more, began throwing them on one another, like a load of hay, till re- called to the fitness of things by the clap- ping and laughter of the audience. The opera was Verdi’s ‘Ernani,”’ no light task for amateurs to execute, but the so- ciety covered itself with glory by the per- formance, In the first vlace, every one of the soloists had a voice, not a microscopic voice, but a good resonant organ, that could be heard in the remotest paris of the theater as clearly as before the footlights. Another commendable trait in the per- formers was that the\' all pronounced well and sang pleasingl; As for the acting, the singers threw ti emsel\e; into it with ardor which was not dampened by the fact that, with the exception of the tenor and the barytone, the principals were new to stage work. The bass was so happily oblivious to everything but his role that at the end of one act he sang on heroic- ally, right under the descending curtain. Another moment and he would have been crushed before the agonized eyes of the spectators if the tenor, with great pres- ence of mind, had not warned him of his danger and snatched him from his im- pending doom. All the principals were good, but the barytone, Alfred A. Borlini, was a posi- | tive revelation. As every one knows, Verdi has been kinder to the barytone than most other composers, and in “Ernani’’ Don | Carlos has a part which makes him more of the hero than is the tenor. Alfred Bor- lini both sang and acted the dramatic lines of Don Carlos in a manner which showed him to be unusually gifted in the dircction of the grand opera stage. His voice is warm, resonant and dramatic. In the last scene with Elvira, in Don BSilva’s castle. his singing 18 parncular]y passionate, and his scene in the catacombs brought down the house and had to be repeated. Dr. D. A. Hodgehead, the Ernani, has never done so well in local opera as he did last night. His acting has gained in breadth and ease and he produces his voice with fuller effect. The weakest spot in his performance was his duet with El- vira, in the third act; the same duet was also the most vulnerable spot in the lady's perform.mc? for Ernani grew hoarse and lvira wandered off the key. This was ondy one mishap, however. Asa whole the role of Ernani was well acted and sung last night. Mrs. ansbem Mowry as Elvira showed herself to be the possessor of a powerful dramatic soprano voice, stronger in the upver than in the lower registers, but an uncommonly fine voice for all that, and, barring the little slip above mentioned, P. Lafrancoi was a good Don Silva. 1t was his first appearance on any stage, and he was evidently slightiy nervous. His voice showed good trnunng, ho\\ever and he sang the popular “Infelice” excellentlv The chorus shone more, perhans, in the | composed the “chorus: | Miss C.
