Bids for the freighting of cement, lumber, machinery and merchan- dise to the dam, which is fifty miles to the eastin the mountains, have been called for. The company asks for 400 horses and 100 wagons. £ Mr. Babcock has had strong faith all along that the people would vote the bonds, and accordingly ordered five car- loads of machinery some time ago. This arrived last week. ~This consists of a com- plete Ledgerwood cabie and trolley for | handling large quantities of rock. Another plant of the same size is al- ready in place at Lower Otay dam, and the new plant will be sent out this week to join it. A full force is to be put on to finish Tower Otay dam, while preliminary work is being done at Morena. Then the machinery will be removed to Morena, where the dam can be built in a short time, as the Tock is aimost overhanging the dam site. Lower Otay Cam is part of the extensive system of the company, which consists of dams at Upper and Lower Otav, Barretts and Morena, capable of impounding about 10,000 inches of water in all and irrigating 75,000 acres of lana. The construction of this gigantic system depended upon the voting of bonds by the city for the Morena dam, thereby assistin iu the development of the country as wei. as furnishing a supply of 1000 inches for the city, sufficient for a city of 100,000 in- habitants. The city owns 7000 acres of fine lands within its limits, which will be be made very valuable with water. All day long the people have kept up a noisy jubilee over the resuit of the bond eleciions, and telegrams have poured in upon the city officials and Mr. Babcock congratulating them upon the new era inaugurated. ——— PROSSER CREEK FIRE. Destruction of a Large Warehouse CANTON, Orro, June 28.—The city of | Canton has witnessed a great many | aemonstrations of an enthusiastic nature | since Major McKinley was nominated, | and there have been thousands of strangers within her gates. Men of wide reputation in politics, statecraft and busi- ness have called upon the candidate to “‘pay their respects,” as the formula is, or | to keep themselves well within McKinley’s | field of vision. All the demonstrations | and visitors up to this time, however, have been of an unofficial if not informal | character. To-morrow the advent of the notification committee, composed of one member from each State and Territory, selected by the National Convention at | gto} 8t. Louis for the purpose of conveyin the candidate official notice of his nomina- tion, will be an event of more significance and importance than the coming of all the other visitors and delegations which Mec- Kinley has received. The chairman of the committee, Senator Jobn M. Thurston of Nebraska, was the permanent chairman of the St. Louis Con- vention and achieved a large measure of National distinction in that capacity. He is an orator and will be the spokesman for the committee to-morrow. Major McKin- ley is very fond of Senator Thurston and said a day or so ago be thought his selec- tion for permanent chairman of the con- vention was the best that could have been made, with the possible exception of Goy- | ernor Foraker. | Governor McKinley’s speech in reply to | Senator Thurston will be scanned with | interest. 1t will not be long and he will | $25 | Stored With Ice.

LONG BEACH, Cavn., June 28. — The meetings of the Southern California Chau- tanqua Assembly at Long Branch have al- ways been interesting. The eleventh an- nual session of the assembly will be held this year from July 14 to 24, inclusive. This promises to be the most important in the history of the society. Noted lecturers, including Rev. Carlos Martyn, D. D.; the renowned humorist, Frank Lincoin, who-has just completed a professional tour of the world; Rev. Anna Shaw, who will conduct the exercises on woman’s day; B. R. Baumgardt,sccretary of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, who will lecture on astronomy; Professor Cook on etymology and phy- siology, and Professor A. J. McClatchie of Throop Polytechnic Institute, Pasadena, on biolocy, will be present. The Bible nor- mal school will be conducted by Hon. C. P. Dorland, the assembly class in Amer- ican literatura by Mrs. Anna Averill, the class in civil government by Miss' Mar- garet A. Huston, while Miss Elsie A. Hasse, late of Frobel Institute, and Miss Helen M.

Missionary Conquests Planned While the Students Enjoy an Outing, GLENWOOD, Cir., June 28.—The Mis- sionary Extension Summer School, in session here, is attracting large numbers of church people from various parts of the const, and particularly from San Fran- cisco. They take this means of combin- ing their summer outing with Christian not at this time attempt to discuss in a significant or elaborate way the dominant | issues of the campaign. Nothing in the | way of an exhaustive formal utterance | may be expected until he publishes his | letter of acceptance, which will be in a | month or six weeks. That is the usual | time a candidate allows to elapse between ihe date of his official notification and the | publication of his official acceptance of the nomination. The publication of the letter of accept- ance really opens the campaign, and for | that reason all of the candidates will be disposed to defer the writing of their | létters for a few weeks. In the mean- | time tbe National committees will or- | ganize and be ready to go forward with the campaign work. Before McKinley gives his letter of ac- ceptance to the public, he will probably | meke a short visit to Roxbury, Mass. | When the campaign is well under way and a host of minor candidates are in the field, each one hoping or expecting to carry his district or his State, the de- mands upon McKinley for speech-making will be urgent and frequent. Several Republicans of influence and high stand- | ing have talked with McKinley upon this point, and some of them have endeavored | to secure from bim a promise to make | speeches in their States. Major McKinley | bas not committed himself, nor has he | said he wonld not yield to their demands upon his strength and time. He prefers to remain in Canton during the campaign, and at present his close political friends incline to the belief that this will be the wiser course to pursue. But conditions may change, and ii they do and it seems best for Major McKinley to take the stump he will do so. 1f he makes a speak- | ing tour it is safe to say that among the | Btates upon bis itinerary will be Indiana, | Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. s R Sl THURSTON ON THE BOLT.| Deems It Significant ThatOnly Sen- atorial Candidates Left the ‘ Convention. CLEVELAND, Omro. June 28. — The members of the notification committee | were all assembled here to-night, with the | exception of Rogers of Utah, who tele-| graphed that he could not come. The committee goes 10 Canton to-morrow morning. Senator Thurston, chairman of | the committee, said to-night: “Ido not think there is any question that McKinley will win a great victory, but by what plurality I cannot estimate. I think we will lose Colorado, Utah, Nevada, | Idaho and Montanaonaccountof silver. 1 | do not think we can save them.

This camping school is under the diraction of the Missionary Extension So- ciety of San Francisco, and that fact draws a great many from the City, but Oakland and San Jose and other towns in the neighborhood send many visitors and workers. The past four days have been devoted principally to the subject of *‘City Evan- gelization,” and to-morrow a course of Bible lessons on “The Life of Christ’” wiil pegin, to be conductea by Rev. W, W. Scudder Jr. He will demonstrate with tne use of charts and diagrams, illustrating the years of Christ’s public ministry. At the close of this series of lectures Rev. Melville H. Tenny of San Jose will deliver two lectures on “‘The Life of Christ i Art,”” which he illustrate with stere- opticon views thatinclude the great paint- ings of tne various events in the life of Christ, from bis birth to his ascension. The lectures will be of a nature that will impress the audiences with the grandeur of Christ’s character and the loving esteem in which he was held by the world’s great master- in art. The programme of work for the school incluaes daily denominational conferences on missions in charge of the representa- tives of the Denominational Board of Missions and also a series of evening lec- tures on city, home and foreign missions. Mrs. Sarab D. Hamlin, associated with Puondita Ramabai in India, will deliver a lecture on the Sorabji family and give a good deal of useful and novel information concerning the missions in India from her view as a traveler. The Fourth of July will be celebrated, and/large excursions of Christian En- deavor societies from San Francisco and Alameda counties will arrive on that holi- day. The summer school is not all work and no play. The class work is done in the forencon hours and the afternoons are given up entirely to recreation. Some of the visitors go bathing, others trout fish- ing or boat riding, while others occupy the afternoons in walking or driving on the delightful roads or climbing the hills, A great many of the students and teach- ers are camping, their tents forming a picturesque scene in the wood, while others prefer the accommodations of the Glenwooa Hotel, which stands at the en- trance to the camping-ground. e LEE AND MoOLELLAN. Their First Meeting as Described by the Latter After the Civil War. Entertaining papers giving reminis- cences of “The Lost Cause” were read yes- terday afternoon at the meeting of -the Daughters of the Confederacy. Ina paper prepared by Mr. George Savage and read by Mrs. D. Giraud Wright was described the first meeting of General Robert E. Lee and General George B. McClellan as Gen- eral McClellan had related the facts to Mr. Savage in the summer of 1878. “It was near the City of Mexico during the Mexican War,” said Genera; McClel- lan to Mr. Savage, *““that I first met my future great opposing gcommander. I was a lieutenant of engineers and Lee was a major of engineers and a favorite on the staff of General Winfield Scott, I was walking alone across a field one day when I saw General Scott and his staff ap- proaching on horseback.

Those who did not bolt were not up for another term. “I have no idea what Mr. Hanna will | do about the executive committee’s head- quarters. Ithink he should be allowed to fix them wherever it is handiest for his interests.”” WATER FOR SAN DIEGO. The Construction of the New System Will Be Commenced at Once.

When be realized that he could not live, or that the chances were against his surviving, he sent for Lieutenant-Governor Jeter and dictated his will, by which he bequeathed all of his property to his wife and boy— the latter a baby 15 montl:s oid. A post-mortem examination was madeat the request of Coroner Clark, that he might decide whether an inquest was necessary. The examination was made by Dr. Bai- ley and Dr. Morgan, assisted by Dr. Hawkes of the ship Philadelphia and Dr. Haslet of the Monadnock and Drs. Keeney, Doyle and Clark. It was dis- covered that the pistol-ball had entered just below the heart, as Crooks wasin a olightly stonping posture, and ranged around the left side, cutting the spleen, and passed out at the back. He had bled internally, great clots of blood being lodged in the body. Had he bled freely exter- nally death would have been hastened. Dr. Clark, Coroner, was satisfied that the shot occurred as Crooks said, and de- cided that the inquest was not essential. Mr. Crooks was very cheertul, even this morning, and talked as freely and in as good voize up to his death as before the accident oceurred, and his signature to the will was as plainly and strongly written as though he were entirely weil. When Richard Thompson of the Wells-Fargo Express Company this morning picked up the ball, which no une had been able to find before, and showed it to Mr. Crouks, the injured man remarked: “If that had struck the wall before it got me I should not be in any danger.” He referred to the fact that the ball, in its upward course, glancing along the wall, had bounded across the room with- out further damage. Dr. Morfew and Walter Newton, broth- ers-in-law of deceased, and their wives, with Matthews Crooks, his brother, came down from San Francisco this morning. Mrs. Crooks, widow of the deceased, is quite ill from the shock and has been un- able to decide as to burial arrangements, but it is believed the body will be taken to Oakland for interment. CAPE MENDOCINO DISAS TER. The Schooners Mary Buhne and Jennie Thelin Collide—Both Are Badly Damaged. EUREKA, CaL, June 28.—While in the vicinity of Cape Mendocino, the schooner Mary Buhne, returning empty from a southern trip, last night collidea with the Jennie Thelin, bound for San Krancisco, heavily loaded with lumber. The Thelin was struck amidships and immediately filled with water. The lumber prevented it from sinking. Both vessels were badly damaged. The Buhne’s bow was injured, and the Thelin’s side caved in. The tug Ranger towed them into port this after- noon. The crew of the Buhne claim that no side lights were exposed to view on the Thelin, and it was not seen until only a few yards away. o L SAN BERNARDINO'S SEARCH ENDS The Body of Suicide Wingfield Near Harlem Springs.

Corne NEWS OF ARE SLIND Liberal Appropriations Permit of a Large Increase in the Force. The Battle-Ship Oregon to Be at Once Prepared for Active Ser- vice. VALLEJO, CAn., June 28.—Many me- chanics, helpers and laborers are awaiting with anxiety the coming of the new fiscal vear, commencing on July 1, with the hope that they will be called to resume work, after long furloughs. The appro- priations for the coming year are more liberal in some of the departments than for years past noticeably in the depart- ment of yards and docks. This is due to the appeals of the Chief of Bureau, Com- modore E. O. Mathews. The appropriations were made for a greater variety of purposes, including the construction of buildings, roadways and walks. One of the improvements to be started is the buiiding of a new caisson and the enlargemert of the dock entrance. It is understood that plans for this work have been submitted to the head of the bureau, and if they are approved work will soon be commenced. All along the line in the various depart- ments at the navy-yard there will be ample funds to keep a large force of men employed the coming year, by addicg to the regular appropriations the amounts aliowed under the deficiency bill for the repairing of some of the ships at the yard. n the construction department cards for e%wymem of men, to the number of over 200, have been sent out. This does not, however, signify that the men will obtain employment the year round. Work is being pushed on the gunboat Bennington. The crew is living aboard while in dock, and hzs but little to do, as the repairs are in the hands of the yard authorities, Chief Engineer Kutz, having completed his forty years’ service in the navy, has been placed on the retired list and his position as chief of the steam engineering department is being fiiled by (gb'\ef En- ineer Joseph Trilley. Kx-Chief Kutzand amily will reside either in Oakland or in Alameda. Very little work is being per- formed in the department he has just vac‘;ated, but after Juiy there will be plenty to do. Now that the battle-ship Oregon has been accepted by the Government it will soon come up to the yard and be commis- sioned, stores put aboard, ammunition stowed in the magazines and the hundred and one odd jobs to bedoneto aship going in commission wiil keep the Oregon at the yard some weeks after the pennant has been floating at the masthead. —_——— A i A regal Boom, wearing its coronet and robes, was taking the air in its orchard and complacently meditating upon its own prosperity.

Dolan of Partland, Or., whose swindling operations were detailed in a recent issue | of THE CALL, numbers a Los Angeles man among his victims. Dolan is now under indictment for forging Chinese certificates on a big scale. An invest: ation into the former career of this unscrupulous but | exceedingly smooth scoundrel shows that | he has been in the babit of swindling anxious office seekers out of large sums of money by promising to procure for them lucrative employment under the general Government. One of these is L. C. Tyler of 135 South Grand avenue, this city. Tyler tells an interesting story regarding his experience with the “Government agent” at Portland. “I was living at Portland in the fall of 1893,” said he, *‘and met Dolan, who was a fellow of good appearance. The United States Attorney had gone to Washington. Dolan was corresponding with him and finally himself went to Washington. Dr. Lyle did not send him.

I sent| him the money. Dr.Lyle supplied $666 and I gave the balance. Then as we heard nothing more we grew uneasy and Dr. Lyle went on to Washington, where he | soon found that Dolan was a swindler and utterly unable to influence any appoint- ment. Isaw Dolan when he returned to | Portland, but could get no satisfaction | from him. He was perfectly brazen, and | when he had a man‘'s money he would | laugh at him.” | Tyler said that Dr. Lyle had writien to | him proposing that they prosecute Dolan, | but he was not willing to throw good money after bad. He does not expect to attempt any prosecution now, and will not go to Portland unless subpenaed as a | witness. Tyler describes Dolan as a smooth, well-spoken fellow, of pleasant appearance and always well dressed. e s DUELZ WITH A BURGLAR. Officer Fifield Wounds a Criminal in a Fight With Pistols. LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 28.—Officer West Fifield fought with a burglar early this morning, and after exchanging eight shots at each other the prowler succeeded in escaping, leaving a trail of blood. The officer walked along Sixteenth street | at4 o'clock this morning, and at the cor- ner of Hill sireet saw a man on the porch of D. Healmes’ house, trying to open the screen door. Fifield called and the man immediately turned and fired at him. Without waiting to learn the effect of his shot the burglar jumped from the porch ! and ran through’the yard toward Hill street, pursued by the officer. The burgiar stopped bekind a hedge and fired two | more shots at his pursuer. Neither took | effect. | Fifield is over six feet tall and weighs | 300 pounds, but in spite of his weight he is one of the fastest runners on the force. When the second round whistled close to | hin he stopped and returned the burglar’s | fire. Fifield shot five times at tue fleeing man after he left the hedge, and one of the balls took effect, as a small trail of blood was left by the burgiar. There was quite a heavy fog, which was the cause of the men’s poor aim. ) g FATE UNKIND TO HIM. Failing to End His Life, a Would-Be Suicide Wrecks His Furnitwre, LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 28.—George W. Floyd made a number of attempts to commit suicide this afternoon, and when he discovered that his revolver was use- less he picked up an ax and started to get satisfaction by wrecking the furniture in his room. Floyd was employed as a hackdriver and had been on a spree for the last few days. To-day he got so drunk that his employer discharged him. In settling their accounts there was a dispute, and the proprietor called Floyd a dirty thief and robber. The latter denied the im- Peuchmeut with drunken persistency, but inally decided that it -might not have been altogether erroneous. He went to his room, took an old revolver and, plac-| ing it to his head, pulied the trigger five times. Four times the weapon missed fire, but on the fifth attempt the cartridge exploded and the ball grazed Kloyd over the left eye. This made Floyd nngry. He seized an ax and began demolishing all the furni- ture in sight. So grea: was his rage that by the time assistance came he had wrecked uearly everything in the room. He was taken tc the Receiving Hospital after a strugzle. He will recover. TWO SPRINTERS INJURED. Red Biuff and Hollister Hose Teams Each Lose a Man by Running Over Him.

On the other hand, the old boat, for in a great many instances it is an old boat, receives little damage, if any. “Take, for instance, the sinking of the Lehigh Valley liner Cayuga, which oc- curred on the 10th of last May. Sh- col- lided with the steamer Joseph L. Hurd and was sunk in Lake Michizan, near Skilligalee Light. The Cayuga was one of the best steamers on the lakes and worth about $200,000. The Hurd was an old lumber barge, which had been condemned once and then rebuilt, and worth almost nothineg. ‘At the time of the collision there was a heavy for. Fog banks are peculiar things to run up against and rattle many a captain. This was the case with the commander of the Hurd. The right sig- nals had apparently been given, but with hardly a minute’s warning, the Hurd took asheer and struck the Cayuga amidships. The Cayuga went down in about five min- utes, and the Hurd made for the land, which was not very far off. where she was beached. She was ‘leuking quite badly. Temporary repairs were made and she was then towed to a drydock. She came out again later in_the teason and ran in the lumber trade in Lake Michigan. The Cayuga, however, is still at the bottom, lying in about 101 feet of water, and her chances for remaining there are very good, “Let me cite you another instance where the better boat was sunk by an old one—well, I won’t say she was old, for she had not been_ in commission very long. She was called the Jack. Her first feat that brought her before public notice was when she collided with one of the locks in the Welland canal. Navigation was delayed for several days by the = accident. The next prominent feat that she accomplished was to sink the big steel steamer KNorman, which was owned by the Menominee Steamshi ny. She sunk her in the middle of Lake Huron, and in deep water. In fact, it has been a mystery where she did go down, for they have nevér been able to locate her. She was worth about $200,000. The Jack sustained little damage and was soon in commission again. Now, there are two boats which were worth about $400,000, and both were sunk by boats which could be bought for $20,000, and that would be a big price for them.”—Buffalo Express. TRAINS COLLIDE AT CARNADERO, Engines and Cars Wrecked in a Crash at a Curve. CREWS JUMP FOR LIFE. Passengers Are Knocked Down by the Shock, but Escape Injury. AN ENGINEER AT FAULT. Held the Throttle on a Special and B:lieved the Track Was Clear. GTILROY, CAL.. June 98.—The Hollister freight and passenger train which leaves Gilroy at 6:45 p. M. collided with a special engine at Carnadero junciion, three miles south of Gilroy, last evening. The Hol- lister train hac slowed down to turn the switch, when the special came flying around the curve, and before the lever could be reversed the trains had collided. The engineers and firemen, seeing the ap- proaching danger, jumped in time to save their lives, The special plunged its way into the front of the Hollister engine, and the con- cussion derziled three flatcars, splitting them in the center. About fifteen cars in the rear were the passenger coaches. The jolt tbrew the seven occupants forward, but luckily they all escaped unhurt. Engineer Chase was on the special’s lo- comotive and the fireman was J. Hartley. James Lynch, engineer, and M. Rockefel- ler, fireman, with George Clarke, con- ductor, had charge of the Hollister train. Hartley’s ankle was sprained in leaping from the cab. The passengers came to town in coaches | and the section men, under Georze Skilli- corn’s orders, cleared the track of the wreckage. The wrecking.crew came from San Francisco at 3 A. M. and brought the disabled engines ana cars to town. The engmeer of the special! was a new haud and unacquainted with. the road, and was unaware that the regular Hol- lister train had not passed the junction. Had there been no freight cars between the passenger coaches and the engine the few passengers would iave been killed. The engines are badly disabled and will be sent to the Sacramento yards for repairs. The regular trains run on time to-day. SANTA-ROSK JUDEE DIES, Aged W. N.
