Boss Buckley Defeated in the County Central Comm ittee—A Motion to Adjourn Goes Through. LOS ANGELES, Can., May 16.—Owing to the presence in this city of Chris Buckley of San Francisco, who, it had been declared, had everything “fixed” to con- trol not only the Democratic primaries in this county, but those of all Southern Cali- fornia, great intorest attached to the meet- ing of the Democratic County Central Committee to-day. At the forenoon session Secretary Ram- ish tendered his resignation, which was accepted, and a recess taken until 2 p. m. The country members were conspicuous their absence. The burning question of the hour related to the forthcoming primaries—whether they should be held by wards or precincts. General C. F. A. Last, George 8. Patton, Villiam R. Burke, Abbott Kinney, Will ris, Councilman M. P. Snyder, Tom Democracy were early in the hall and in consultation with their associates. Buck- ley was not present in person, but some of his fr'ends were and watched the pro- ceedings closely. After the roll was callsd and it was found that sixty-five members were pres- ent in person or by proxy, George S. Patton moved that the committee adjourn for one week, He $aid he made the motion because many members had not Leen notified; there was confusion about the place of meeting and comparatively few delegates were present from the country. Patton spoke of the gratuitous presence of Buckley in the city, and intimated that pins had been set up to prevent a free ex- pression of opinion. McCaffry demanded a rollcall on the motion, and a dozen members were on their feet, all talking at once. Patton told McCaffry, *“of the Arcade depot” as he designates him, that if the country had a week to prepare in it would give him com- plete defeat. Several points of order were made, and before the roll was called Pat- tor withdrew his motion to make en- v and other wak-horses amonz the | other demanding that no proxies be al- lowed. This precipitated another scene of wild confusion, and charges of jobbery and bad faith were exchanged. After a red-hot discussion the motion against proxies was carried by a vote of 54 to 36, which leit a clear field for the country delegates, and they easily carried the motion to adjourn for one week. Thus the Buckleyites were defeated at every point. The “chief” 1s crestfallen and disgruntled, and will now probably leave for the vine-clad slopes of Liver- more. SRR BAILWAY SALE AT SEATTLE. The Lake Shore Brings $1,000,000 at Auction—Lawyers Allowed Hand- some Fees. SEATTLE, Wasa., May 16.—Local law- yers got some big fees by the sale of the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad, which was knocked down for $1,000,000 this afternoon to Judge H. G.

Capitalist Minor Sues to Recover a Sub- scription for a Railway. EUREKA, CAL., May 16.—Isaac Minor, one of the heaviest subscribers to the bonus offered by the people of this county to the California, Oregon and Idaho Rail- way Company, has commenced suit to re- cover the money he paid in under the first call for 5 per cent. Mr. Minor was a sub- scriber to the amount of $20,000, and under the first call paid in $1000. He clairas that the company has failed to fulfill its con- tract and has attached all the funds. The railroaa committee, which contemplated continuing the survey as soon as the weather settled, will now be unable to pro- ceed until the suit is settled MERCED'S UNKNOWN DEAD Proof That Officers Collins and Dowst Shot an Innocent Stranger. | The C'aim That They Were Fired Upon Is Discredited by tke Evidence. MERCED, Car., May 16.—There is no longer much doubt that the unknown man killed by Officers Collins and Dowst, near Merced Monday evening, was inno- cent. He was shot and killed while seem- ingly trying to escape from the pair. They believed him to be Burke, an escaped Selma burglar. It is now believed that the stranger, seeing the officers in pursuit, mistook them for highwaymen and started torun. They then fired upon and killed him. R It was brought ont at the inquest to-day that Burglar Burke, who escaped from a Selma officer by jumping from a train, is slightly bald, while the man lying at the morgue has a full head of hair. The clothes worn by the dead man are differ- ent in color from those of the escape. Burke came to_him in a field and urged him to relieve him of his handcuffs. On being refused he took to the brush and disappeared. The officers are both young men, and | feel keenly the position they are in. They have employed two attorneys to attend to their interests at the inquest. The testimony this evening tended to show that the pistol allezed to have been officers had not been fired within a month past. They claimed on the night ot the shooting that the fleeing burglar shot at them once before they fired at him. Officer Collins was called to the stand and by the advice of his attorney refused to testify Because of the absence of an important witness the District Attorney asked for a continuance until next Tuesday evening and ordered a bench warrant issued for the defaulting witness. Pending the re- sult of the inquiry the two officers are in jail. ligimag | SANTA R0SA4’S JUVENILE FETE. Childyen Emulate Their Elders With a Flower Carnival.

The parade was a brilliant feature, only Shetland ponies, goats and dogs being used to draw the tiny vehicies. Having the advantages of fine weather and plenty of flowers, the decorations rivaled the “grown-up’ parade of a few weeks ago. Miss Edith Wiley was crowned queen, the coronation taking place on the spa- cious lawn surrounding the residence of Colonel Mark L. McDonald. To-night the McDonald residence was given up to the children and a grand ball was indulged in. S el WOMEN MEET AT CHICO. Annual Convention of the Butte County Temperance Convention.

JAMESTOWN, Car., May 16.—T. B.Bros- chi, adrummer for the hardware and agri- cultural implement firm of H. C. Shore of Stockton, to-day was the victim of a pain- ful and possibly fatal accident. Mr. Bros- chi was traveling in a light wagon and while going through a mountain pass got down from his seat to water his horses. In doing so he accidentally caught the trigger on a shotgun which was lying in the wagon in the brake, causing its dis- charge, and receiving the contentsin the right arm, near the elbow. The wounded man_was removed to Chi- nese Camp and a_doctor sent for from Stockton. The injured man is very weak and it is not improbable that if his arm is amputated the operation will result fatally. —_— GRIDLEY'S NEW CANNERY.

Honolulu is in the Pacific jurisdiction, and a delegate from that ) court was in attendance. | The session was called to order on Tues- | | day last at the Christian church, William | Cashman, high chief ranger, presiding. The committee on credentials reported 131 | delegates entitled to seats. | The adoption of a three-degree ritual | was strongly advocated by many present, and when the committee on written and | unwritten work reported in favor of a mo:e elaborate ritual of initiation the | recommendation carried. In preparing the revised ritual that now in use in the Atlantic jurisdiction wiil be followed so far as consistent with the general laws of this jurisdiction. A resolution presented Jooking | toward the subdivision of this jurisdiction | into districts, each district to be com- | posed of one State or Territory, to ho \l; | annual meetings, at which delegates to the Subsidiary High Court would be selected. In that event it was proposed to hold bi- ennial sessions of the Subsidiary High Court. Many were in favor of this amend- ment, but as it takes a two-thirds vote to | carry such a measure, it was lost. | A proposition to reduce the per-capita tax from 80 to 70 cents wasadvanced.

Each B d'y Battered Man Procures a Gun, but a Woman Ends the Strife. FRESNO, Car., May 16.—William Bu- chanan and William Anton, farmers re- siding near Fowler, engaged in a fight yes terday afiernoon, and Anton may die. They have a joint irrigation ditch, and it was the same old story—both wanted to use the ditch at the same time. Buchanan went to Anton’s place to set- tle the dispute. He was carrying a shovel, and after a few hot words with his neigh- bor brought the implement down edge wise on Anton’s head. Each blow cut a deep gash. Mrs. Anton ran out of the house and prevented further injury to her husband. Buchanan turned to leave when Anton, with blood streaming down his face, seized a shovel and struck his opponent with the broad side on the back of the head. Buchanan ran home, got a zun and re- turned. Anton also secured a gun, but Mrs. Anton got between them and pre- vented a shooting. Anton was taken to Fowler, where his wounds were dressed. | They are of a serious nature, ARRESTED BY A CITIZEN. A Chinese Lottery Ticket Vendor Comes to Grief.

FRESNO, Car.,, May 16.—Judge Webb this morning confirmed the sale of twenty acres of land near Sanger that belonged to the estate of the late Judge David Terry. C. G. Sayle, the administrator of the es- tate, made the sale to Miss E. K. Moble for $50, the record showing that it was made to the highest bidder. The land lies in a swale and is prac tically worth- less. This sale closed the business of the extensive estate of Judge Terry, which was sold under foreclosure. T Humboldt Crops Damaged. EUREKA, CaL., May 16.—The excessive rains have seriously affected the crops generally in this locality. The dairying interests, which have hitherto escaped material injury, will suffer greatly from this season’s downvpour. Fruits of all kinds, especially cherries, prunes and apples, have been injuriously affected by the continued cold rains. An insect pest has appeared among the oats in low-lying districts. Garden work and planting have been delayed a month, and the general backwardness of the seasonal work is un- precedented. Wirt. President Kellogg announced the following committees: Nominating—Rev. E. B. Hays, Modesto; W. K. Jenkins, San Jose; Miss Lorrie Cook, Santa Ana; Rev.R. E. Hale, Auburn; Rolla V. Watt, San Francisco; Mrs. C. C. Reynolds, Pasadena; E. B. Ware, Santa Rosa. Auditing—E. L.

He said parents thought too much of piano practice, pelieving soul- culture came of itself. Evangelist J. H. Elliott spoke on “The Conditions of Prevailing Prayer.’’ He was followed by Rev. William Rader of San Francisco on “The Development of a True Missionary Spirit in the Junior Society.” Rev. A. W. Rider of Los Angeles ad- dressed the convention on “Intermediate Work.” He said: “The Intermediate Society is the bridge | across the chasm between youth and | voung manhood and between youth and womanhood. There are three stages in a boy’s life—the boisterous, the bashful and the bumptious. Nothing helps some in- telligent, aspiring boy so much as giving bhim a position of responsibility and an opportunity for usefulness. The most mischievous boy can be handled by making him the guardian of the develop- ment and performance of work of his fel- low.” Short talks by a number of intermedi- ates followed. Mrs. F. K. Upham, wife of the superintendent of the Soldiers’ Home at Santa Monica, presented the greeting of the veterans at the home to the En- deavor Society. Miss Mary A.

SAN JOSE, Can., May 16.—Lucy E. | Park to-day began suit in the Superior Court to compel her husband, Monroe C. Park, to contribute to the support of her- self and their 10-year-old aaughter, Edith Park. The couple were married in Topeka, Kans., in 1868. They have resided in this county for about five years, but for the past two years bave lived apart. Some time ago Park sued his wife for divorce on the ground of desertion, but the decree was denied. Mrs. Park alleges that for two yeurs prior to their separation on Octo- ber 13 last, her husband treated her cruelly and in an inhuman manner, and aisre- garded his marriage vows. She asks that Park be compelled to pay her $20 per mounth for the supportof herseif and child. There is community property valued at $3000, subject to mortgages of $1200, and she wants an equitable division. e BELIEVES HE IS AN OUTLAW, Strange Hallucination of an Imbecile Sent to Agnews Asylum. SAN JOSE, CaL., May 16.—James Can- non, who walked into the police station a few nights ago and introduced himself as an outiaw and an old associate of the James and Younger boys, was to-day com- mitted to Agnews Insane Asylum by Judge Lorigan, Cannon 1s & native of New York, 54 years of age, and a switchman by occupa- tion. At one time he was confined in the San Bernardino Asylum. While switching cars several years ago he was injured on the head, and this and excessive drinking are the causes of his insanity. While con- fined in jail he tore his shirt into strips and attempted to hang himself. He im- agines he is a train-robber. Srai gty Struck by a Streetoar. SAN JOSE, CaL, May 16.—John G. Gray, a destitute gardener, aged about 55 years, was struck by a streetcar in this city this evening and probably fatally in- jured. He was intoxicated at che time. {is injuries consist of a broken right shoulder and several broken ribs, his right side being terribly crushed. SANTA CRUL HOTEL SALE Pacific Ocean House Disposed of Under an Auctioneer’s Hammer. The Transfer Made to Facilitate a Settlement of the More Estate. SANTA CRUZ, Cav., May 15.—The Pa- cific Ocean House property to-day passed into the possession of the ¥. A. Hihn Company, for a cousideration of $30,110. The property was owned jointly by the F. A. Hihn Company and the More estate, | and, with much of the balance of the property of that estate, has been 1n litiga- tion for the past twenty-five years. The sale to-day was by L. J. Dake, the referee appointed by the Superior Court, and was | for the purpose of turning the real estate into cash, that the heirs of W. H. More may receive a proper distzibution of their property. This is only a small part of the property in this county owned by the estate, and the price bid for it under the hammer might be considered a fancy figure, the hotel bringing $28,675. The balance of the purchase price of $30,110 covered adjoining pieces of real estate and improvements, including Turn Verein Hall. John R. Chace, proprietor of the hotel, said to-day that he believed the change of ownership would not affect his possession as lessee. His lease had about expired, but it would in all probability be renewed on satisfactory terms. Mr. Hihn bought a half interest in this hotel in 1881 for §13.000, which was regarded as very cheap at that time. A third story has been added since at a cost of about $12.000 and about $2000 has been expended on interior improvements. The whole property has a frontage of 100 feet and extends from Pacific avenue back to Vane street—300 feet. U S S Santa Oruz Election Contest. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., May 16.—The de- murrer of City Clerk Wright to the com- plaint of W. H. Miller, who is contesting the election of Wright, was overruled by Judge Logan in the Superior Court to- day, and the case was continued until Monday. Mr. Lincoln, the defeated can- didate for re-election, made no fight for himself in the matter, although he was defeated by only one vote. THE STREETCAR EYE. A Nervous Affection of the Eyes Which Is Becoming Common. One of the commonest nervous affections of the eye is produced by continuous rid- ing in streetcars. That is what the ocul- ists say. Some streetcars run their seats lengthwise and therein lies the difficulty. Some day as you are riding downtown watch the movement of the eyes of the man_across from you. He is gazing out of the window, possibly reading the signs of the business houses just to kill time. First his eves glance ahead of the car, fall on the sign and as the car passes by his eyes turn back. Then they shoot abead again. Sometimes this constant shifting of the eye up and down the street 1s very rapid, as a passenger watches the people on the sidewalk. In half an hour’s ride his eyes will have twiched back and forth with a continuity that brings on fatigue. But he keeps it up to the end of the ride, and later in the afternoon wonders why his eyes are tired and why they water. NEW TO-DAY. Humphreys’ Homeopathic Specifics Cure The Sick.

They Are Regaining Old-Time Form and May Surprise the Younger M-n STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., May 16.— Professor Nathan Abbott, head of the law department here, was suddenly called East yesterday to the bedside of his mother, who isvery ill. His classes have about completed the semester’s work and will probably be dismissed. A thorough law course is to be given here this year as a part of summer school work. All the courses are much more complete for the summer work this year than ever before. The trackmen are at work each evening and are all in pretty fair condition at the present time. There is talk of holding a field day next Saturday, though on ac- count of the faculty-senior baseball game there may be a change. The faculty members are practicing on the diamond, getting into shape for the annual game with the senior class and working off the stiffness induced by class- room and desk work. Several of the “profs.”” are fine players, and their work is watched with great interest by the stu- dents. Nearly all the members of the faculty team have been members of col- lege teams, and haven’t been off the dia- mond so long but that they can wear the rust off with a few afternoons’ work. Professor Angell of the psychological department is the crack man of the team, but Dr. Jordan is not far behind him, and before the doctor had to wear glasses he could outbat any man on the team. He has “‘lost his eye,” as he expresses it, and necotiates a base hit but rarely. Professor Richardson of the chemistry department is catcher and played that position for Lehign. He is very sure and 1t is dangerous work to attempt to steal second on him. Professors Murray, Young, Wing, Fish and Hoskins are all good fielders. Professor Fish is an ex- Cornell pitcher and will fill the box here for the faculty. The Giee and Mandolin clubs are to give a concert in San Francisco during the coming week for the benefit of tue track fund. A most enjoyable concert was given here last evening by the clubs. This afternoon the Stanford diamond was| occugied by two school teams—one from the Berkeley Primary School and the other from the Palo Alto Primary School. About 1000 schoolboys were on hand to cheer their respective representatives, and it has been a long time since the campus rang so loudly with the high trebles of coming collegians. Both nines were heavy batters and both played good ball for young amateurs. The Palo Alto team won by a score of 16 to 10.
