RENO, Nev., June 10.—The mass con- vention of the “straight-out” wing of the Democratic party in Nevada was called to order by Joseph R. Ryan, chairman of the State Central Commuittee. The attend- ance was quite large. Dr. A, Gibson of | Reno was chosen temporary chairman. Committees on permanent organization, platform and resoiutions were selected, and a recess taken. Dr. Gibson sent a communication to the | committee of permanent organization declining the permanent chairmanship | and 8. 8. Sears was given that position. | ‘When the convention reassembled re- ports of committees were received and adopted. The platform indorsed Cleve- land’s administration with of his financial policy; his course on the tariff and the Monroe doctrine; declares for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the co-operation or permission of any foreign power or potentate; advocates home rule for Nevada; denounces the American Protective Association; favors the calling of a constitutional convention; favors the election of United States Sena- tors by direct vote of the people; and in- structs delegates to use all honorable means to secure a platform favorable to silver at the established ratio and the nomination of candidates favorable to free | coinage. The following delegates to Chicago were | elected: Theodore Winters of Washoe, Major J. H. Dennis of Reno, 1. L. Wer- | / theimer of Pioche, Dr. A. Gibson of Reno, | P. C.

Alternates—J. F. Angell, W. G. Thompson and Matt Rheim. | Nothing was said in the convention | about any compromise with the Keatinz' jaction. There was a slight sprinkling of | the opposition element, but when it en- deavored to makg its presence felt it was summarily sat down upon by the “straight | outs.” With the exception of a slight| squabble over the permanent chairman- | ship the gathering was harmonious., The nomination of a State ticket was passed and the matter left in the hands of the | State Central Committee. General B. W. Clake, who was defeated | for delegate to the National Convention | and afterward elected as a Presidential | elector, sent a communication to the State | Central Committee to-night declining to | allow his name to be used on the ticket. There are two sets of delegates to the National Convention from Nevada and there promises to be a hot fight as to which will be seated. et DEMOCRATS OF TEHAMA.

McCoy fordel- egate to the National Convention and in- structs the delegates against giving proxies to persons outside of the delegation. No mention is made of Governor Budd’s administration. Resolutions indorsing it were suggested, but met with so much op- position that they were not offered in the convention. One delegate ventured tosay a word against the free silver resolution, but was deliberately and emphatically squelched. exception | commends | | | | | | | | | ALASKA GOLD STEIKE. Immense Ledge of Quartzin the Nesque- shinsky District. SEATTLE, Cav., June 10.—The steam- ship Al-Ki, which arrived 1n port at 3 o’clock this morning from Juneau, brought information of the discovery in the Nesque- shinsky Bay district by Captain Cowden and Mrs. W. F. Turner of Sitka of a solid ledge of quartz 600 feet wide and over 3000 feet long. No assay has been made, or if there has, it has been kept a secret. T. Haley, an extensive mine-owner of Alaska, in discussing the discovery, said that in comparison with this vein, when it was fully traced, the great Treadwell ledge would have the appearance of being but a mere stringer; that the indications were that it would supply a 500-stamp mill for fifty vears. —_— SONOMA’S PREPARATIONS.

House at Etna, Siskiyou County, on May 28, 1896, had their preliminary examina- tions before E. W. Howell, Justice of the Peace of Yreka Township, to-day. Hughes was held to answer to the charge and Davis was released. Hughes and Davis were members of a Sheriff’s posse, organized by L. A. Mox- ley, Deputy Sheriff at Etna, for the pur- pose of capturing House, who escaped irom Moxiey while being held on a war- rant based on a complaint charging House with a criminal attack upon his step- daughter.

The Saloonist Was to Have Received $5000 as His Share of the Loot. VISALIA, CAr., June10.—It is not likely that the trial of Silas Lovren for complicity in the attemptea train hold-up at Tagus in March will be concluded this week. General Kittrell for the defense believes the testimony will not be all in at the end of another week. The principal witnesses to-day were E. J. Purcell of Los Angeles and Obie Britt, the man who revealed the vlot to rob the train. Purcell was in the Lovren saloon on March 7 and overheard a conversation between Ardell, Lovren’s partner, and a man whom he did not| know. The men were in the back yard of the saloon, and he heard Ardell say: “He'll know his voice.” “Suppose he doesn’t open the door when he's called,” remarked the other man. “Dynamite the thing. Blow her up. Don’t waste any time on it,”” was Ardell’s answer. The other person was standing behind Ardell so the witness could not see him. 0.J. Meade, a special officer, said he was informed of the intended hold-up on the 18th of March, ana had received orders to proceed on the northbound train, the one that was to have been held up. He arrested John Haynes the following morn- ing. Obie Britt again told of the plans of the plotters, which he had revealed to the offi- cers. Said he: “‘One plan was for either McCall, Havnes or myself to go to Tulare and geton the tender and rob the train between that point and Tagus. Another plan was to take up a rail, and another was to burn a bridge. McCall and myself drove over to Goshen on the afternoon of the Sunday before the robbery. We turned south along the Southern Pacific and went to the spot McCall had picked out as the place to rob the train. Idropped a marked paper at the place so that the Sheriff’s office would know the point where the hold-up would occur. We went out in the after- noon because McCall had to meet Ardell at 12 o’clock. McCall told me that he had been there that morning for the purpose | of becoming familiar with the country, McCall said that Frank Davenport, Charles Ardell and Silas Lovren would help us out of the country if the officers suspected us. iHe believed we would get about $30,000. Lovren’s and Ardeil’s share would be §10,- 000. McCall’s intentions were to take Haynes' portion and then kill Haynes.” FRESNO WEDDING BELLS, W. D.

An invitation to attend the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the formal raising of the American flag at Menterey on July 7 was received. On the invitation card were the following words: Come in your golden tresses, Come with filial caresses, Come in your finest dresses, Come while time presses | And giadden your fathers' hearts.

The asylum chapel was artistically decorated in ‘their honor. The gallery and walls and proscenium were clothed in red and yellow banners and streamers. These colors also pre- vailed in the stage decorations, The Na- tive Daughters’ monogram, “D. P. F. A.“, in red geraniums and yellow marguerites, hung about the stage. Fiags, Chinese lantersand cut flowers, tastefully arranged, completed the decorations. The entertainment opened with a selec- tion from “Bells of Corneville,” by the asylum orchestra. A trio composed of Mesdames Wylie and E. W. Churchill and Miss Trowbridge sang Podbertsky’s “Star of Evening” and Marchetti's “Ave Maria.” Miss Ruddy Gardner recited very prettily “The Dear Doll.” Miss Wylie sang “The Exile's Return.” Y farce, entitled “The Quiet Family,” was presented by Wilson Lawton, William H.

PORTLAND, Or., June 10.—Quite a breeze was raised in the Oregon Women'’s Congress to-day. Mrs. General Thorpe ad- dressed the convention on “Woman in A. P. A. Work.” Her talk was received in much the same way as would the hurlicg of a bombshell into the hall. The speak- er's sentiments did not accord with the feelings of some of her hearers, and while portions of her remarks were approved, a wholesale denunciation of Catholicism and Catholics stirred up a row among the fair listeners. In a portion of her paper Mrs. Thorpe stated that Archbishop Irelan: had declared war against the public schools. This statement was resented, and for a time the president had difficulty in smoothing matters over, Rev. Mr. Elliott replied to some of the statements in his remarks on ‘“Women Philanthrophies.” The attendance at the congress has steadily increased. Susan B. Anthony predicts that one result of this convention will be the admission of Oregon women to suffrage by the next election. —_————— EUREKA MUST PAYX. Lawyers’ Fees Resulting From the Anti- Chinese Riots. EUREKA, CAL., June 10.—In the suit of 8. M. Buck vs. the city of Eureka a jury to-day allowed the plaintiff $4700 as attor. ney fees for defending the city in the Chi- nese litigation. The Chinese cases were brought against the city to recover dam- aves for property destroyed in the riots in 1885, when the Mongolians were driven out of the city and eventually from the county, In the first suit Buck “was given $4250." The Supreme Court reversed the decision, on the. grounds that Buck was City Attorney at the time. Suit was then brought for services rendered after the ex- piration of his term, George A. Knight has a sumilar suit on the calendar which he will now push. He was hired by Buck while City Attorney as associate counsel. —_— THE CAPAY VALLEY CRIME, Young MoMillan the Cold-Blooded Mur- derer of E. 5. Mazwell. WOODLAND, CarL., June 10.—District Attorney Hopkins returned from Capay this evening, after investigating the mur- der of aged R. L. Maxwell. To-morrow he will send warrants to the valley for the arrest of a lad named McMillan, who claimed to have shot Maxwell accident- ally. From the facts learned, the District At- torney is of the opinion that young Mc- Millan went to the old wood-chopper’s cabin to steal a rifle. Maxwell unex- pectedly came to the cabin and discovered the boy, who then opened fire, blowing out the old; man’s grains. _Young Mc- Millan bears a bad reputation in the com- munity in which he resides, having been detected in many mischievous acts. Owing to his extreme youth District At- torney Hopkins will probably send him to a reform school, instead of a peniten- tiary. —_—— THE MONTEREY AT TACOMA. Undergoing Ewtensive Repairs to Boilers and Condensers. TACOMA, Wasw., June 10.—The moni- ter Monterey will remain 1n port about two months, undergoing extensive repairs to boilers and condensers. The four boilers will be entirely refitted. They are of the Ward coil pattern, and require 521 tubes each. It will take nearly three weeks to place them. Three have been completed and the,fourth will be com- menced at once. Lieutenant Lieper has been transferred to shore duty nndple". to.day for Philadei- phia to spend a three months’ leave of ab- sence and take an examination for pro- motion. e Santa Rosa Accident. SANTA ROSA, Car.. June 10.—A horri- rible accident that occured here this even- ing will probably cost James Kelly his life. Kelly was driving a mowing machine, to which was attached a pair of spirited horses. The team got beyond his control | and dashed madly across a large field. The unfortunate driver, ih attempting to regain control of the horses, was thrown from his insecure seat-in front of the rapidly moving blades of the mowing ma- chine.” Both of bis wrists were broken and he was injured internally by the heels of | the horses. His scalp was laid open by the sharp blades of the machine. SAN' JOSE'S GAY: WIDOW. Mrs. Parker’s Record as “ Mrs. Brown” While in the East. Claimed to Be a Woman of Wealth and Captured a Rich Young Husband. SAN JOSE, Car., June 10.—There was an increased attendance at the trial of the Parker will case to-day, and the beginning of the taking of testimony for the re- spondents increased the interest. During the argument for a non-suit the contestant had a foretaste of the exposure of her reputed career that was in store, and in the afternoon she did not remain in the courtroom long after the reading of the deposition of Jane Pom ero{ was begun. Juage Reynolds rendered his decision upon the motion for a non-suit. He said there was some testimony that seemed to have a tendency to prove some of the allegations in the petition, and for this reason the court bad no right to take the case from the jury. The testimony for the respondents was opened with the reading of the deposition of Mary Jane Pomeroy of Hartford, Cone., known in the evidence as Jane Pomeroy. During this reading Attorney Coogan, for the contestant, said he understood that Jane Pomeroy was in the State, and it was urged that she should be present herself and give her testimonv. “Mrs. Pomeroy is now in San Fran- cisco,” responded Burchard, “but she is there at the side of her dead husband, who passed away yesterday.”’ The denosition was then allowed with- out further question. It said: “In 1870 Edward’s father set him up in business in the hat and furnishing line in Hartford. “He did not pay his board or lodging at our house. We intended to give him a poriion of our property. I first knew of Edward’'s intention to marry Emma Hough two weeks before the marriage. Edward came to us and said he wanted to get married to a rich widow frem Cali- fornia. and investigate as to her, but he said he had to marry her rignt away, as she wanted to return to California. He seemed to think from something she said that if he did not marry her immediately she would return to California and he would lose her. *‘The woman did not, he said, tell him | how much she was wortb, but that s!;xe‘ e had real estate and stocks and bonds. said she was the widow of George L. Brown. He died at the Occideutal Hotel and was buried at Lone Mountain, beside the Broderick monument. ‘‘After their marriage we received them as members of our family in our house- nold. We had heard throagh some one that Edward’s wife was not what sie pre- tended to be, that she bad hived m one place and another, and I asked her one day for an expianation. “‘This was shortly after she came to us. Bhe said her first husband, Brown, had. been very kind to her. He had taken her on drives, and every morning he threw all the money she wanted into her lap. She | said he died suddenly one day at the hotel. She told about a diamond breastpin that showed in a picture of her first husband that sbe exhibited. “Edward’s wile soon began to make de- mands for money for dresses, ete. I then knew that her claim of being wealthy was false, and I wrote a letter to Edward’s father in regard to the matter. “‘In the letter to my brother I advised him to investigate as to whether or not such & man as G. L. Brown had died in San Francisco and as to whether or not | his widow had any property on Powell street, as she claimed. I alsosent to my brother the picture that Emma Parker had said was a phoiograph of ber first husband, Mr. Brown. The writer saia the picture sent on pur- gomng to be that of Brown was found to e that ofa man named Tiltinghast, who was at that time alive and well. He wasa wealthy Enelishman and was well known in San Francisc as a clubman. The opinion was expressed that Edward had been caught in a trap, and that his wife had dttered falsehoods in all the statements she had made. She never owned any property on Powell street. The man Mitchell had also been seen. and he said he did not know of any husband that she had ever had. ““This letter was read to Edward Parker. There was then loud talk between Edward and his wife. __Objections were then made to the read- ing of testimony about the conversation between Edward Parker and his wife, on the ground that such communications were privilezed, and pending the argu- ment upon this point the ease was con- tinued until to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock.

The missionaries determined to escape to a nearby fort. Driving the crowd back into the front yard at the point of pistols, they made a dash through a rear gate. They then made a long circuit, but were pursued for more than a mile. Finally they reached the fort, verv much ex- hausted, but not otherwise injured.

SEATTLE, Wasm.,, June 10.--Hon. A. K. Delaney, United Stat:s Judge for the Distriet of Alaska, who arrived in Seattle this morning on the steamship A1-Ki, says all sections of that country are overrun | and overdons with fortune-seekers.

Ll Fan;end b A WOODLAND JAIL TRAGEDY. Convict Stewnrt Attempts to Hang Him- . self in His Ceil. WOODLAND, CaL., June 10.—Charles Stewart, alias “Boots,” who was sonvicted of robbing Postmaster Morrin of Rumsey several months ago, attempted suicide by strangulation in his cell at the County Jail this morning. Stewart is languishing in jail waiting the result of an appeal of his case to the Supreme Court, and long confinement has resulted in despondency. When Jailer la Brie went to Stewart's cell to-day with the prisoner’s dinner, he heard a fall inside. On opening the cell door he found Stewart lying on the floor, unconscious, with blood gushing from both ears. He was soon resuscitaied, and 18 now out of danger. He had torn his blankets into strips, tied the ends to- gether, and in this way made a noose, with which he attempted to hang him- self, but the strips broke under his weight. OARINER 4T FERIDALE Producers of Butter and Cheese Preparing for the State Convention. Scientific Methods to Be Discussed by Noted Agricultural Chemists, FERNDALE, CaL., June 10.—Extensive preparations are being made by the re- siding dairymen of this county to enter- tain their brother members of the State Dairy Association, which convenes here on June 15 and 16 and at Arcata on June 18 and 19. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company has given reduced rates, and-a | goodty number of members throughout the State will attend, including such noted agricultural chemists as Professor Jaffa and Regent Woondworth of the university, Science is making rapid progress in its apoiication to dairying. The object of this meeting is to further the butter in- dustry, which now ranks as the second in- dustry on this coast. California produces over 32,000,000 pounds per year, and, ac- cording to late statistics, there are 340,000 cowsin the State,and vet butter is imported from the East. There is no apparent reason for this. By the improved methods local dairymen are able to produce as fine a quality of butter as that sent from any part of the United States. Among the subjects suggested for dis- cussion at the convention will be the im- proving ,of the g\mlicy of cheese; the establishing of a dairy school for men and women; the necessity for stringent dairy laws; encouragement for the esiablishing of condensed milk factories; the creation of a sentiment favorable to home dairy products; the best methods of cultivating markets and of marketing, including the packing of butter for warm ciimates; the importance of good roadsin relation to dairying; the method of exhibiting at the Home Products Exposition, which will be held at the Mechanics’ Pavilion, San Fran- cisco, opening on September 1, under the auspices of the Mechanics’ Institute and the Manufacturers and Producers’ Asso- ciation of California. e Lynn Installed Pastor.
