MONTEREY, CAL,, July 2.—The spirit | of '96 has at last awakened quaint old | sleepy Monterey, and every man, woman | and child in the town is bent on making the coming semi-centennial jubilee cele- | bration a grand success. The exercises of | the celebration will all be strongly Ameri- can in character, but so Spanish in inter- | pretation that it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. All of the building in Monterey are decorated with American bunting, but so arranged as to produce the architectural effects of old Spain. Many of these deco- rations are highly artistic, and could some | of the old dons visit the scene they would feel that they were thoroughiy at home. To-day bas been s busy one for all who will take part in the celebration, from Ad- miral Beardslee to the smallest girl in the “Living Flag.”” The people of the town were awakened by the strains of martial music from the bands of the two warships out on the glistening blue waters of the bay and in the two companies of artillery in camp back of the Hotel del Monte. It was a sound uncommon bhere, but none the less welcome, and in a short time everybody was awake and eager to prac- tice their part in the big celebration. The military and naval men spent the long hours of the day in drills and exer- cises, so as to be ready for the ceremonies of the Fourth of July, while the citizens worked hard at decorating and preparing their houses to receive the large number of visitors expected. The principa! feature of the celebration will be the “Living Flag,” which will be | composed of about 200 young ladies dressed in red, white and blue, who will march in | such order as to produce an exact repre- | sentation of the stars and stripes, This feature of the celebration has been | in charge of Hon. 8. J. Duckworth and A. W. Jones. To-day a rehearsal was held in | the opera-house and the young ladies went i through the intricate movements of the | exercise with tbe utmost precision and | formed as beautiful a picture as one could want to see. | Part of the programme will consist of | singing the three National songs, ‘“‘Amer- ica,” “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean” and “The Star-spangled Banner.”” After the rehearsal in the hall the entire com- pany of young ladies marched down the street to the grand stand and went through | the same evolations they will on the Fourth and seventh. There was not a hitch anywhere and everything was so carefully studied that there can be no doubt but the living flag will cover itself with glory when the time comes. Following are the names of the young ladies who will form the living flag: Josie Hunt, Theresa Sullivan, Detta Jones, Lizzie Feliciano, Rosa George, Alice Lee, Emma Heintz, Rosa Gonzales, Clothilde Gon- calve, Flora Fletcher, Addie Pedro, mnfle!l Urbanus, Viola Allen, Addie Nidever, Clara Casper, Ines Eddy, Jessie Hunt, Jessie Kent, Ross D'Avila, Annie Kelly, Flora Cantus, Sadie Urbanus, Victoria D*Avila, May Lee, May Dulion, Nellie Barker, May Gonzales, Beulah Fadden, Elsie Stampke, Amy Capp, Annic | Myers, Annie Serrano, Pheta Serrano, Lili Espinoss, Charlotte Manuel, Emily Silva, Josie Abrego, Mary Damarsl, Maddie Davila, Ethel Oliason, Ella Johnson, Susie George, Ora Kent, Jennie Miller, Leila Little, Jessie Stevenson, Julia Hay- den, Clara Rossner, Jossie Allen, Lily George, Lena Damaral, Mary Valdez, Louise Roach, Lucy Correia, Mamie Mattos, Nellie Barber, Angie Nocefore, Jennie Reynolds, Christina Curray, Della Lowry, Mary Parrara, Jessie Whitaker, May Nocefore, Mabel Dodge, Mamie Ellis, Ethel Adams, J.

The grotinds of the caravansary never looked ! tetter than they do at present, and many vlans are on foot for the pleasure of the guests. There will be a grand ball on Saturday night and another on Tuesday night. The ballroom will be decoratea with the National colors, interwoven with the finest flowers produced on the hotel grounds.

ST T 4 LEAP YEAR WEDDING, How an Unsuspecting Swain Was Cap- tured by a Wily Semorita. LOS ANGELES, CaL., July 2.—Accord- ing to the situation of at least one more or less astute individual in Los Angeles the gentleman is liable to get married entirely unexpected to himself. Whether or not the question of leap year bas any bearing on the case under consideration is un- known, but at all events the lady “did the business”” in a very expeditious manner and in consequence has a substantial hus- band as theresult of her cleverness. The story follows: Martin Tribarren of this city is the groom, and Encamacion V. Sanchez is the blushing bride. The bride is known among the 400 of the “lower part of town” as Chona. On the 29th of June the lovely Chona, who is strongly pockmarked and has also a seductive cast in one of her eyes, made application to Deputy County Clerk McPherron for a marriage license. This is an unusaal step fora lady tosecure a document of such a nature. But fair Chona expiained that by saying that Mar- tin was off to his feed. The lady was not very well acquainted with her swain's patronymic, as his name is given as Mar- tin Elizivare, sged 27, Encarnacion doling out her own age as 31, which is an over- sight of several summers, The wedding ceremony was solemnized the same afternoon by Superior Judge Smith at the coy Chona’s sister's house, 322 Wilmington street. The sister is Mrs. Eloisas de Gutierre, who is widely known for the excellence of her Spanish” dinners. The groom is wroth, deciares he never meant it, and is determined to have the | nuptial knot unhitehed right away. He declines to recognize his innocent spouse, or have anything to do with her. @ re- lated his strange marital woes to Judge Smith, who replied that if the facts were as he related them, there would be no dif- ficulty in undoing the work of the fond Chona.

STOCKTON, Car., July 2.—This morn- ing the wife of an actor named Armstrong who used to be in this city called on the Chief of Police. She wished to get back her little girl, who had been taken away two years ago by the direction of the husband who had deserted her. The child was placed with a woman. named Mary Mack for safe-keeping by the mother. When she went to get her both woman and child had gone. Fortwo years she had never been ableto finda trace of them.

Affects Fees of County Clerks Throughout the State. FRESNO, CaL, July 2.—Judge Carter to-day rendered a decision that a County Clerk cannot collect a fee of §2 for every demurrer filed in a civil action. Suit was brought by Attorneys George Cosgrave and G. B. Graham to test the legality of the course of the clerk in charging $2 for each demurrer. Clerk Hart had been aet- ing in accordance with the opinion of the District Attorney. The statute is vague and different counties have been adopting different systems. Judge Carter's decision will settle a question in which every county in the State is concerned. SN JUSEANS SWINDLED E. E. Klotzly, Proprietor of the Russ House, Is Badly Wanted. A Widow Stopping at the Hotel and His 'Bus Driver the Prinei- pal Victims. SAN JOSE, CAL., July 2.—E. E. Klotzly, who has been running the Russ House in this city, is badly wanted by a large num- ber of creditors. Early in June Klotzly induced Mrs. L. Laederich, a widow of some means who was stopping at the hotel, to purchase a half interest in the hotel business for §1000. He represented that he needed the money to pay off a mortgage of $700 held by O. A. Hale, and, as the investment seemed a good one, Mrs, Laederich handed over the §1000, and on June 2 the papers were signed transferring to her a half-interest in the business, which Klotzly said was free of debt. On June 16 Klotzly went to Santa Cruz to take in the water carnival, saying he would be back in a week. Atthe end of that time he failed to return, but as he left his two children at the hotel nothing was thought of his extended absence. A few days ago Mrs. Laederich began making inquiries, and found that Klotzly had not only failed m;.y the $700 mort- gage, as he represented he did, but there were two additional mortgages aggregat- ing $480 standing against the business. He also sold a %lrge number of meai tickets and pocketed the money, and slso left a large number of small debts unpaid behind him. Klotzly has evidently left the State, and Mrs. Laederich is not only out $1000 in cash but has inherited about the same amount of indebtedness and the care of two of her sbsconding partner’s children. John Heffey, the bus-driver of the hotel, also loses $700 which he loaned to Klotzly on his personal note a short time ago. Easeay DESEETS HIS FAMILY. Wife and Three Smal!l Children Left in Destitution. SAN JOSE, Cav., July 2.—Patrick Camp- bell, who arrived in Santa Claraabout a year ago from New York with his wifeand three small children, has deserted his fam- ily, leaving them in destitute circum- stances.

TOBIN’S HANDWRITING. Three Witnesses Testify to the Genuineness of the Recsipt. LEVY CONTINUES SKEPTICAL. While It Is Considered Unnecessary, the Defense Wil Introduce Further Evidence. VALLEJO, CaL., July 2—At the Web- ster court-martial being held at the navy- yard this morning three witnesses intro- duced on behalf of the paymaster were positive in their declaration, as much as one could be, that the paper signed by W. J. Tobin acknowledging receipt of $583 54 on account of loan was written entirely in Tobin’s own handwriting. A letter written from Shanghai to a Mr. Rumsey about the same time the receint 'was signed was compared, and in all re- spects it was claimed to be written by one and the same person. The witnesses in- troduced by the paymaster to establish the identity c! the handwnting were a paymaster’s yeoman who had served on the ship and J. R. English, cashier of the Vallejo Commercial Bank, in which bank Mr. Tobin was employed as a clerk under the cashier. Theother witness was George Weniger, a brother-in-law of Mr. Tobin, who succeeded him in the grocery busi- ness and has all the books and papers in the store. Being perfectly famlliar with the hand- writing of Mr. Tobin he had no hesitancy in declaring the receipt was written en- tirely by him. Notwithstanding this almost conclusive testimony Paymaster Webster desirea to introduce further evidence, so there could be no manner of doubt in the mind of the court as to the genuineness of the receipt, for upon this receipt he will base his claim of having obtained the money from Mrs. Tobin as a loan. The court was asked for and granted a continaance until 10 o’clock Friday morn- ing,” at which time other witnesses will be introduced to identify Tobin's hand- writing. Clerk Levy still adheres to his state- ment made on the stand yesterday after- noon, that the body of the receipt is not that of Tobin’s handwriting, though a qualification is made that at the time, if he wrote it, his nerves might have been such as to cause a difference in the man- ner of his writing. 10 CLOSE FAIR AVALON, The Banning Company Controls the Destiny of Catalina Island. Will Withdraw Its Interests From the Resort Owing to Lack of Moral Support. AVALON, Caranrsa Isvaxp, July 2.— Itjs possible that the Banning Company mnay withdraw their interests from Avalon and locate a resort at some other point on Catalina Island. This, if it comes to pass, will be brought about by the lack of moral support from property-holders at Avalon who areat issue with the Banning Com- pany. There are some sixty or eighty lots at Avalon cwned by private individuals. The rest of the 355,000 acres comprising the island belongs to the company. At present the company is not able to control things in & manner which they consider commensurate with the amount of capital expended in improvements, ex- pense of keeping up the resort, etc., and it may lead to a removal. The Banning Company in that case would simply fence in its property at Avalon and by the use of large rafts or lighters remove such of their buildings as are movable to some other point on the island—say Whites Landing, which is a beautiful and commeodious cove, or the isthmus, which by many is considered more desirable as a location for a resort than Avalon—and there build up a sum- mer resort and land their steamers there. Then the property-hoiders of Avalon could run their own resort and encourage, i{lthey liked, any service that shou'd sait them. In regard to this matter Judge Banning Sal < “I should greatl ret being forced to abandon A\-:lon, ‘;;:lg we shnsll not go unless compelled by lack of moral sup- port from Avalon residents. The present outlook is not encouraging. The policy of the Banning Company, which has made Catalina Island famous and built up the vaiues of Avalon holders, does not seem to be appreciated by many of them. “Yes, i: is true our investments here are heavy, but not of such magnitude as to compel the expenditure of more money or prevent the company from establisbiug a resort at any point on the island should necessity require it. I exceedingly regret this unhaopy state of affairs, but we shall 2o ahead for this season, and, as usual, ao our best to accommodate and entertain our visitors. E;Whlt about next season?

PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., July 2—A specter from the deep arose in the noon report from Cape Fiattery to-day. which brought the first tidings of the British bark Cambusdoon, Captain McDonald, which had long ago been given up for lost. One hundred and seventy-one days ago the Cambusdoon sailed from Java, bound for British Columbia to load, and from that time until to-day’s report nothing has been heard from her.

KERN COUNTY BANDITS, Crowley Appears at Caliente to Register, That He May Vote. An Armed Man, B:lieved to Be Dun- ham, Seen at a Camp Near Bakersfield. BAKERSFIELD, CaL., July 2.—Bandit Crowley has been heard from again. Some | time ago he sent word to Sheriff Borg- | ward that he intended coming down from his hiding place i1n the mountains to reg: ister, so as to vote nextfall. Sure enough, a day or two ago he put iz an appearance at Caliente, where there isa Deputy Reg- istrar, who, however, was absent, so that Crowley did not get his name on the reg- ister. The bandit spent several hours thsreand was not molested. He ate at the hotel, | drank beer and talked freely with several persons, making no secret of his identity. He denied having fired at Rankin’s son,but | said he could have easily killed the Sheriff the last time he was out, as he was in the brush fifty feet from the road when that officer passed along. The only man | against whom Crowley bears enmity is | Tom Castro, who betrayed- him to the officers, and him he swears to kill on ; sight. rowley says he was not the man who made such a sensation near Haywards last | fall, but that as soon as he escaped from the insane asylum he came down here and took up his quarters at Walker’s Basin, He worked a while for Sam Blades, one of | the men whom he threatened to kill, but | Blades would not pay him. So he robbed.| his cabin and burned it. Now he says be | will let Blades alonein the futare. Crowley | told the whole story of his trouble in | Contra Costa county, and swears he will never be taken alive to serve out his| twenty-five years’ sentence. | There is evidently another bandit loose | somewhere in the county. A heavily armed man appeared at a camp thirty miles southeast of town last Saturday | night, mounted on a mule, and asked for | food. It was given him, and he pretended he wanted to stay all night and asked the | route to Tejon P He left during the | night, however, and no one saw which way he went. He had two large revolvers | xmf rifle and in all respects answered the | description of the man seen hiaing on | Erskine Creek early last week except he had a mule instead of a horse. Parties at the camp believe he was mur- | derer Dunham and ug Le answered his | newspaper picturesond descriptions, Be- ing unarmed, they did not molest him. | ———— DELIBERATE SUICIDE.

Black, a bachelor, who owned the Man- ville farm and diggings on Forest Creek, in Jackson County, committed suicide Tuesday night by shooting bimself through the head with a revolver. He committed the act with great deliberation, first ascertaining whether the men who were living with him on the place were in bed and then making a bed of straw alongside his cart, which stood in the yard, and lying down on it before pulling the trigger of the weapon.

Makes an 'Excellent Witness Under the Rigid Cross-Examinition of the Doctor’s Counsel. SEATTLE, Wasa., July 2—The Dawson evidence to-day was all for the defense, the principal witness being Mrs. Alice Allmond, Mrs. Dawson’s sister. She made a fine witness, and though counsel for Dr. Dawson tried hard to lead ber into a trap the plans failed. It came out under Mrs. Alimond’s cross- examination that Mrs. Dawson about one year ago had endeavored to bleach her hair. The doctor had learned of it, and after that when Mrs. Dawson asked him to take her to church he refused, stating that he would not go on the streets with Ler any more, as she looked too much like a fast woman. Mrs. Allmond said that #5r a long time before Dr. Dawson left his wife he had de- tectives employed to watch her. One day Mrs. Dawson spoke to him about it and he then denied that he bad ever authorized his counsel, General Carr, or any one else 10 place detectives on her track. Allmond was asked about E. E.
