OVERDUE AT THIS PORT Was Sunk With All on Board During a Terrific Squall. STORY OF A BRITISH CAPTAIN The Sea Was Running Tremendously High, Rendering Assistance Impossible. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25.—Fears are entertained that the ship reported as foundering in the South Atlantic by the British ship Loch Breden, just arrived at Liverpool, is the City of Philadelphia, which sailed from New York February 2 with a general cargo for SBan Francisco. The City of Philadelphia carried a crew of twenty-five men and her master, Captain Johnson, bad his wife and family with him. She was spoken last on March 3 in latitude 14 degrees 56 minutes south, Jongitude 34 decrees west. Captain Cornell of the Loch Breden re- ports that on March 21, in latitude 36 de- grees, longitude 40—or in about the posi- tion the American vessel was likely to be in after eighteen days’ sailing on her course—he sighted during a gale a full- rigged ship sbout two miles distant, under three lower topsails, laboring heavily. The next morning he saw her again, the seas breaking over her. Suddenly, at the height of a terrific squall, at about midday, she larched over and disappeared. The seas were tremendously high and it was be- lieved that the craft had sprung a leak. All on board must have perished. It is possible that the City of Phila- delphia may arrive safely at her destina- tion, and that it was the doom of some other vessel witnessed by the master of the British ship. Bhe is considerably overdue, however, and the foundered vessel's description closely tallies with her. Sixty guineas premium were paid in London on her in- surance this week. The City of Philadelphia, which regis- tered 1400 tons, was built in Bath, Me., in 1857, and Walter P. Cagar & Co. of Phila- delphia are her managing owners. SOUTHERN PACIFIC GREED Kentucky Fails to Collect the Charter-Tax From the Railroad. Talk of Repealing the Grant Under Which the Corporation Is Operating. FRANKFORT, Ky., June 25.— The Southern Pacific’ does not pay and never has paid a cent of taxes into Kentucky’s treasury, although the road owes its exist. ence to and is now operated in California on a charter passed by a Kentucky Legis- lature in the winter of 1884. After a hard struggle, the railroad having a giant power behind it and one of the strongest lobbies that ever held sway in Frankfort, the State Board of Valuation and Assessment, which has the fixing of values of corporate franchises, has taken the matter of taxing the company under consideration. Al- though the board would like to find some way of rating the road under the pro- visions of the revenue law, by which it is authorized to fix a raté, it has up to this time totally failed to reach any officer or agent of the road upon whom it may serve notice. . ‘While the board has been carrying on this investigation Auditor Stone, who isa member of the board and to whom the tax would have to be paid direct, has turned 1he matter over to the personal supervision of Assistant Auditor Frank H. Johnson, who has given the matter thorough inves- tigation. Mr. Johnson said to a Carn representative: “‘SBection 8 of the charter reads: ‘The annual tax upon said corporation shall be the same as is now fixed for brokers’ licenses, provided that all property owned by said corporation and situated in the State shall pay the same State and local tax as is assessed upon similar property, and capital stock in said corporation owned by citizens of the State shall be assessed against the holders thereof as causes in action under the equalization laws.’ *‘The broker’s license is only $250, but the road has not even paid this, and I see no disposition to comply with the plain terms of the iaw. Although there may be no property in the State, the road is operated on the charter which provides for the payment of the tax that is cer- tainly dpe the State. It seems very diffi- cult to reach the road, and the Kentucky officials can find nothing in the State to levy on. It is known that if the road shows no disposition'to comlply with the law it is the intention of the officials to recommend to the Legislature the repeal this morning, and a hurried look at his accounts by the superintendent showed a shortage of about $1500. The police have not been unable tolocate him. Greene isa man about 43 years of age and has a family, g FOR A NEW TRIAL, Murderer Walling May Yet Escape the Death Penalty. CINCINNATI, Oxro, June 25.—Judge Helm this afternoon heard arguments for a new trial of Alonzo Walling, one of the alleged murderers of Pearl Bryan. The efense produced affidavits showing that Jurors Ware and Miles, after being sum- moned as jurors and before being ac- cepted as such, stated that the defendant ought to be hanged. Thiswas quite a sur- prise, and Judge Helm said he would not pass upon the motion for a new trial until next Monday. Subpenas were issued for the two jurors and affidavit-makers to ap- pear in court on that day. If itis proven the jurymen made this statement Walling will undoubtedly get a new trial. St SR REHABILITATION SCHEME. Creditors of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau Will Place the Firm on Its Feet Again. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25.—The re- organization committee of the creditors of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau held a meeting to-day and formally adopted a plan for a final adjustment of the finances of the embarrassed firm. William Steinway, as chairman of the committes on reorganization, stated that the total indebtedness of the firm was $365,000, and that creditors representing over $335,000 of that amount had given unqualified consent to the scheme of re- habilitation proposed by the reorganiza- tion committee. The claims of the smaller creditors, aggregating about $10,- 000, will be paid at once in cash. The larger creditors will receive stock to the amount of their claims in the newly or- ganized firm of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau, which practically began its career to-day free of all encumbrance and without a cent of indebtedness. Messrs. Abbey, Schoeffel & Gran will confine their operations exclusively to the management of the Metroplitan Opera-house in this city and the Tremont- street Theater in Boston. DETROIT 15 SHAKEN UP. Furious Storm of Wind, Rain| and Lightning Sweeps Over the City. For Forty Minutes the Water Falls in Torrents, Turning the Streets Into Rivers. DETROIT, Micr, June 25.—A severe wind and rain storm, ,accompanied by sharp lightning, swept over this city this evening. The storm came out of the northwest. The wind reached a velocity of 48 miles an hour and created havoc among the shade trees all over the city. The rain fell in torrents for forty minutes, tbe doewnpour measuring 1.19 inches in that-period of time. The sewers were un- able to carry off the deluge of water, and many of the downtown streets resembled rivers for awhile. The first rainstorm was followed by others at short intervals, and when they ceased the precipitation had reached 2.25 inches. The street railway companies suffered severely from lightning, a great number off| There have)| motors being burned out. been no reports of injuries to persons. —————— I0OWA TOWN VISITED.

YOUNGSTOWN, Omro, June 25.—This afternoon the conference committees of the manufacturers and amalgamated men met to discuss the scale question. Presi- dent Garland presented the scale as pre- pared at Detroit and set forth the claim | upon which they based their action in as| ing for an advance of 50 cents per ton on the boiling card. On the part of the manufacturers it was stated that it was impossible to pay $4 50 for fuddling until business would improve. If the advance was insisted on the only recourse cf the mill-owners would be to shut down. The conference adjourned without agree- ment to meet in July 9. As this carries it beyond the present scale all mills will shut down next Tuesday night. e WON'T HAVY FILLED CHEESE. Manufacturers of the Product Ready to Quit the Business. CHICAGO, I, June 25.—Collector of Internal Revenue Mize of this district re- cently sent an agent to the Fox River Valley district, where most of the filled cheese is made, to prepare the department as well as the manufacturers for the oper- ation of the filled cheese and license law next September. The agent returned to- day with the information that nearly all | the makers would go out of business before the law took effect, becauge they and the retail dealers had figured oat a profitless business after paying the Government license and tax and allowing for the effect on the public of having to label their prod- uct “‘Fillea Cheese.” TRAMPS IN GREAT PERIL, Killed a Minnesota Sheriff and Are Threatened With Lynching. Troops Called Out, but They Will of the charter on this ground. “‘Senator William Goebel introduced a bill in the Legislature last winter provid- ing for a repeal.of the charter and made a gallant fight for it, but was met by a forei- ble and effective lobby and he received no assistance from the State officers. While this point was referred to by Senator Goe- | bet and his colleagues, the lobby, which was composed of severai -members of the Benate and combined corporation lobbies, had gained such headway it was suceessful in deferring the matter before the com- mittee until just before the adjournment of the session, when it came up and the repeal bill met its Waterloo. With this of- ficial stigma on the road, and re-inforced by the efforts of the State officers, there wonld be little doubt of a second bill at thé next session or at any extra session passing.” PSS e Money~ Order Clerk Disappears. INDIANAPOLIS, Isp, June 25— Probably Arrive on the Scene Too Late. ST. PAUL, Mixx., June 25.—Infuriated citizens of Southern Minnesota are trying to-night to lynch the two tramps who yesterday killed Sheriff Rodgers of McLeod County. A posse of 250 men chased the desperadoes all aay and caught them in & swamp five miles west of Arlington early this evening. As soon as the news spread mobs began to move forward from Glen- coe, Green Isle and Hutchinson. The prisoners were hastily taken to Glencoe. This saved them for a time at least, but the Governor was wired that the deputy sheriff in charge at- Glencoe could not pre vent a Iynching, All the militia com- panies of that part of the State were taking their regular summer outing in camp at Lake City and were unavailable.

Y., June 25.— Lowering skies, a chilly atmosphere and an occasional drizzle of rain made the day before the great Varsity race a dismal one. No excursion steamer, yacht or boat of any kind except the referee’s boat and the two police boats are to be permitted to follow the racing crewe. This provision will assure the oarsmen a clear course and freedom from wash. Four lines, marked by stakeboats, are laid out. The positions drawn by lot and numbered from the west bank are: No. 1, Harvard; No. 2, Penn- sylvania; No. 3, Cornell; No. 4, Colnmbia. Should the dny prove stormy or the water too rough the race will be postponed until Satarday. The crews got in their final polish to-day and all are tuned up to the pitch for to- morrow’s great struggle. The prevailing opinion as to the result of the struggle that is looked for is: Cor- nell first; a desperate struggle for second honors between Coiumbia and Harvard, with a slight tide of sentiment in favor of the blue and white, and Pennsylvania for the outside position. =l e e ILLINOIS BICXCLE RACES, A Fast Track, but No Records Were Fracturved.

YIELDS WITHOUT A STRUGGLE He Describes His Escape From Blood- heunds by the Use of Cayenne Pepper. RED BLUFF, CAL., June 25.—Sheriff A. Bogard of Tehama County to-day cap- tured W. A. Laverone, the notorious voung outlay, who some months ago broke jail at Madera. About a week ago the Sheriff had an intimation that the fugitive wasin Tehama County, and he kas been on the alert since then to locate him. He wrote to Sheriff Westiall of Madera several days ago, mak- ing inquiries, but had received no answer. He wired for an immediate answer this morning, and received in reply a full de- scription of Laverone. Sheriff Bogard had suspected a certain person, and when this description was received he at once went to the ranch of Frank Miller, about two miles south of Corning. There he found the man he supposed to be Laverone. The fellow was at work on the top of a hay- stack. The laborer was told /o come down from the top of the stack. On reaching the ground he was at once placed under arrest. He cheerfully com- plied with a request of the Sheriff that he should bare his arm, and with the assist ance of J. J. Donovan his shirt was re- moved and vaccine marks were discov- ered. He then admitted that he was the man wanted, and became very talkative. Laverone gave a full account of his escape; how he sawed off the bars of the Madera jail, ana the details ot his travels since then. He said he had a caseknife in his cell and procured a file, but he wou!d not say where tnhe file came from. The knife was converted into a file, and the work was then easily done, He and his partner, Roberts, got a horse and cart as soon as they got out of jail, Laverone get- ting the cart and Roberts remaining to see that the jailer did not awaken until Laverone’s return. They drove about eleven miles, when the cart broke down. They then went up on to the mountains east of Madera, where they got something to eat at a sheep camp. At this point the bloodhounds were placed on their trail. To throw the hounds off the scent they sprinkled cay- enne pepper over their shoes, and the re- sult was all they could have hoped for. The next day they were so close to the hounds that they could watch them, but they felt safe, as the hounds would not follow the trail. They went to a small town on the railroad, where they scayed for four days, sleeping in a barn. Then they boarded a boxcar and went northward for some distance, when he and Robeits separated. Laverone went to the town of Tehama and secured work at the sheep ranch of E. H. Ward. Next he went to John Rob- bins’ ranch, where he worked for a time. He came to Red Bluff, but soon departed for the country. Then he went to his uncle, a rancher near Thomes Creek, northwest of Corning. After staying there a short time, he went to Miller's, where he was captured. Laverone refuses to give any informa- tion regarding Roberts’ whereabouts, al- though 8heriff Bogard has closely ques- tioned him. Tehama County has a Sheriff who never tires when on the chase. In many re- spects he resembles his brother, J. J. Bogard, the Sheriff who was killed by “Jack’’ Brady at the time of the Wheai- land train robbery. WOERK AT PACIFIC GROVE. Topios Discussed in the Summer School of Methods. PACIFIC COAST, CAL., June 25.—The summer School of Methods this morning considered the relation of the temperance work to the chidren of the State. The session was under the auspices of Mrs. Eyster, State superintendent of the juve- nile department of the Women’s Christian Temperance Unién. The discusion of best methods of enlisting the co-operation of teachers of the common schools in the scientific temp erance instruction demand- ed by the law of the State was shared by Mrs. R. Johnston, late principal of Ade- line School, Oakland, Dr. Mallory of Au- burn, Mrs. Hoppin of Yolo, Mrs, Hooa of Stt)glqlord University and others of equal ability. In tyhe afternoon an able address upon “Child Culture” was. delivered by Mrs, Hood. _A paper entitled “The Mothers of Great Men'’ was read by Mrs. Ada Van Pelt of Oakland, and a scientific discourse upon “Bacteria in Alcohol,”’ profusely illustrated, was delivered by Miss Jennie Norton, daughter of the late Professor H. B. Norton. The day closed with an even- ing entertainment—a lecture upon Hawaii, accompanied by stereopticon views, by Rev. Dr. Dille of Oakland. — FRESNO’S BOXY THIEVES.

Secks Police Protection From an Imag- inary Enemy. FREENO, Car., June 25.—An insane man came to the County Jail this evening and asked tobe taken in charge. A large black man, he said, was after him to kill | him. Deputy Sheriff Peck questioned the fellow, who was badly frightened. When he saw Jailer Manley he said Manley was the man who wanted to kill him. Manley had to retreat, while Peck placed his new guest behind bars. c “My name is Smith, but it will not be that very long,” said he. “That fellow is going to kill me.

PORTLAND, Or., June 25.—The suthori- ties have come to the conclusion that Jobn R. Crosgrove, the woman strangler, is | crazy enough to relieve him of the respon- sibilitv of answering to the indictment in | the criminal court, which charges him with assault with intent to kill a White- chapel woman nearly three months ago. Cosgrove was turned over to the ceunty court for examination for insanity this | afternoon,-and he will probably be sent to the State Insane Asylum. The chief witness is not positive of the identification of the man, and aside from that Cosgrove’s actions indicate that he is mentally deluded, and if allowed to run at large he is as likely to attack a man asa woman, He, itis firmly believed by the police, bad a hand in the strangiing cases in San Francisco. 3 Cosgrove was at one time in Vancouver, Wash., and it is believed he was the fiend who attempted to kill a woman there last winter. His peculiar mania was the Kkill- | ing of ontcast women, thereby ridding the world of their presence. L Lake Tahoe’s New Steamer.
