THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1896. 5 e SAN FRANCISCO WINS THE PRIZE Next Endeavor Convention to Be Held in This City. JOYOUS CALIFORNIANS. Enthusiasm of the Delegates Vented in Wild Demon- strations. MODERATE RAILROAD RATES. Fund of $25,000 Is Guaranteed by Citi. zens for the Entertainment of Visitors. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 8.—Not- withstanding the collapse of the big white tent “Williston” at 1 o’clock this morn- ing, due to the heavy fall of rain last night and the severe windstorm that fol- lowed, the Christian Endeavorers quietly engaged Central Hall and the work of the convention proceeded without delay. The other tents, “Washington’”” and *En- deavor,” were packed long before the hour of opening. Flags of every description, streamers, banners and sashes, announc- ing the various State and district organ- izations, were displayed with flonrish and enthusiasm. Promptly at the appointed hour the ex- ercises began in each tent with song and prayer, the great chorus of a thousand voices leading. Then came the hymn of welcome, written for this occasion by Colonel John Hay. The addresses of wel- come by Chairman W. H. H. Smith, Rev. 8. H. Greene and Commissioner John W. Ross of Washington followed and the re- sponses to these by Dr. R. J. Service of Detrsit, Bishop Walters of New Jersey and Professor W. W. Andrews of New Brunswick. The addresses of President Clark and Secretary Baer were then read simultaneously in each tent. Both of the tents, each holding 10,000, were crowded to-night when the conven- tion met, and as many more people were turned back, unable to gain admittance. There were business meetings in Central Hall, Calvary Baptist Church, First Con- gregational Church, Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church, First Presbyterian Church and New York-avenue Presbyter- ian Church. Ason the night before, when meetings were held in twenty-two churches, the wuditoriums were well filled. The topicat 1l the meetings to-nizht was Christian »itizenship, and many ot the speakers nade pointed allusions to the complex political sitvation before the country. Ex-Postmaster-General Wanamaker pre- sided at the meeting in Tent Washington. He was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd that reached far beyond the limits of the canvas above him. sellof Columbus, Ohio, speaking on Chris- tian politics and the saloon, delivered the opening address. Rev. Dr. Robert S. Mc- Arthur of the Calvary Baptist Church fol- lowed. William L. Wilson presided at Tent En- deavor and William F. Slocum of Colorado spoke. At the Metropolitan Methodist Episco- pal Church President Clark presided and the address was delivered by Rev. B.T. Washington of Alabama. At each meeting a certain time was given to a discussion of the claims of San Francisco as the seat of the next assembly, and it was formally announced in connec- tion therewith that the trustees had made a decision in favor of San Francisco. The Californians gave vent to their joy at this news in wild demonstrations, flag waving and hurrahing. It is said a satisfactory rate, approach- ing $50 for the round trip from Chicago, has been guaranteed by the San Francis- cans. The convention in going to Cali- fornia will stop off one Sunday in Salt Lake City and returning will spend a Sun- day in Tacoma and Seattle. Speeches were made at the churches to- night by Rev. H. L. Castle, Pittsburg; Miss Jessie Ackman, Chicago; Rev. M. B. Troxell, Springfield; Rev. William Rader ncisco; Rev. J. W. Field, Chicago; . McCreery, Pittsburg, and W. w. Beard, Ohio. A communication was read from Neal Dow. At the churches in the city sunrise meetings were held this morning, that at the Central Methodist Protestant Church, headquarters of the Californians, being led by Harry W. McKee of 8an Francisco. A big bicycle parade is one of the fea- tures of entertainment provided for Satur- day night.

SACRAMENTO, CaL, July 9.—Trouble is brewing among the employves of the electric car system of this city. Several days ago the men were put on twelve-hour nstead of ten-hour runs. The men are paid by the hour so that wages, but they object to the long hours and to any reduction in the force of em- ployes. 1t is claimed that if a strike results the whole electric system will be stopped as the emvloyes claim that the men at the Folsom power-house, which belongs to the company owning the car system, will go out if requested. The manage- ment is confident that nothing serious will happen, claiming that the disgrun- tled men do not number more than a third of the force. S PORTLAND JAIL SCANDAL. Prisoners Allowed to Go Free by a Drunken Keeper—Three Notorious Crim- inals Escape. PORTLAND, Os., July 9.—Since the new city government has come into power, it transpires that the management of the County Jail has been carried on in adis- graceful manner. Both Jailer Chamberlain and his trus- ties were drunk together, and it has been found that several burglars and thugs were allowed to go free on the day of their sbree, their names appearing on th.e records as ‘‘discharged,” though their sentences had not expired. The ex-Sheriff declares that the escapes number only three. Among the escapes are J. W. Adams, bigamist and thief, and Charles Gindrat and E. 8. Bradbury, who belong to prom- inently connected families, the former be- ing highly connected in the East, and the latter %eing a brother of J. K. Carter, re- ceiver of the Pacific Bank of San Fran- cu(li':iondut is & doctor and is a brother of an eminent physician in Philadelphia. His downfsll is said to have been caused by the use of intoxicants. He is now supposed to be on his way to his brother’s home, and a description of him, with instructions'to arrest, has been sent to the fiolica of all cities through which he is likely to pass. Bradbury’s right name is Carter. He has had a checkered career, which was brought to a temporary close in this city by his arrest for larceny and his sentence to the County Jail. Rev. Howard H. Rus- | His term would have expired on Novem- ber 22 and that of Gindrat on December 2 next. Adams, the first of the prisoners to es- cape, had been sentenced to nine months for the larceny of jewelry from a woman whom he had enticed into a mock mar- riage. SEATTLE MINING PROJECT, Three Great Placer Properties in the Cariboo District Consolidated. American and European Capital Com- bined in a Newly Organized Corporation. SEATTLE, Wasa., July 9.—A vlacer gold mining project of an international character, backed by Europeans, including the Rothschilds and two English noble- men, as well as by American millionaires, was consummated to-day in this city by the organization of the British Northwest Gold Mining Company, limited, with a capital of $5,000,000. Various financial interests appear to be represented in the person of J. Edward Addicks, the “Gas King,” though the enterprise, which is probably the largest of its kind ever attempted in the North- west, originated with of Seattle, one of the leading lawyers of this State. It involves the consolidation of three great placer properties in the British Co- lumbia Cariboo mining district, They are the Fishback mine, compris- ing 800 acres and its water system, drain- ing forty-five square miles; the Maud Hydraulic Mining Company, of about the same qmpm-fimns, and placers on the Quesnelle River, which is said to be the greatest gold-bearing stream on the North American continent. Experts sent out by the big money men in the concern have reported that there is $20,000,000 in sight on one of these properties, and another will produce $1200 a day for a generation. Among others associated with Addicks in the directorate are Edward F. J. Gay- nor, Auditor of the Manhattan Railway Company; Camille Weidenfeid, of the banking-house of Rotbschild & Weiden- feld; Thomas W. Lawsen and George A. | Kelley, of New York; Charles Wilson, Q.C.; J. M. Buxton, of Vancouver; United Siates Senator Squire and Governor Mc- Graw, of Seartle. gt SAN JOSE DIVORCE SUIT.

SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Juiy 9.—During a runaway this afternoon Miss Kate Purdy was thrown from a buggy and perhaps fa- tally injured on the long hill at the sum- mit of which is the Seaside dairy, some twenty miles down the coast. Miss Purdy was accompanied by her sister Grace, who was also thrown out at another point in the road, but not danger- ously injured.

His Companion on the Fatal Hunting Trip Now Claims Half of His Property. LOS ANGELES, CAL., July 9.—The ver- dict of the Coroner’s jury over the body of Robert Todd, thé capitalist, who was sup- posed to have shot himself accidentally yesterday, failed to bear out that theory. It says: “We find that the dsceased came to his death by .a wound.” The jury thus refused to concede that the shooting was done accidentally by himself. The jury found that Todd must have held his gun in the left hand, the arm ex- tending across the breast, to have shot himself, as he was believed to have done. Tnomas Leatherdale, the man who was with Todd, says that Todd asked him for his knife; yet when Coroner Campbell ex- amined the body he found a knife in one of the pockets. "It belonged to Todd. It is claimed that Leatherdale had no money or other vroperty, yet he now claims a half interest in several of Todd’s lines of business, amounting to nearly $50,000. His testimony as given this morning differs considerably from the statements made last evening. Woolsey Kronkite, who was driving past, states that when he first saw the men they were standing fully sixty feet apart and appeared to measuring off land. he heard no shot, yet in five minutes he was hailed by Leatherdale. The case has been turned ovi Police Department. e ————— SPRINGER Is DEAD, The Man Who Claims He Can Produce the Murderer Is Mistaken. LOS ANGELES, Can, July 9. — The Omaha physician who wired to the au- thorities at San Bernardino that if the large reward offered some years ago for the arrest and conviction of William ‘Springer was still in evidence he would produce gm‘ingsr will never realize on his proposi- on. Springer, aformer saloon-keeper at Lodi, married a German girl in San Francisco and broucht his bride south on a wedding tour, stopping at the Transcontinental Hotel in Colton. There he robbed his wife, killed her and set fire to the bed clothing and furniture of the room, hop- ing to destroy evidence of his crime. The fire went out. This was in January, 1887. On Novem- ver 5, 1888, W. R. McIntosh, while rabbit- hunting on the north side of Little Moun- tain, near San Bernardino, found Spring- er's body. In the clothing were a lady’s gold watch, a revolver, with one em ty chamber, and an open knife. A bullet hole through the skull was evidence of suicide. At an inquest two days afterward the clothing, which was m a good sta‘'e of preservation. was identified by the former proprietor of the hotel and a negro vorter. The reward tender was then in- vestigated by the finder, but nothing came of it, because the terms did not say *‘dead or alive,” Rl gl ACH SANTA ROS4-50NOMA RAILWAY. The Two Towns to Be Connected by an Electric Line, SANTA ROSA, CaL, July 9.—Santa Rosa and Sonoma are to be connected by an electric railway. Rumors of this en- terprise have been in_circulation here for several months, but it is now an assured ct. . The Board of Supervisors has been ap-. pealed to for a francnise, and as soon as this is granted work will be commenced. The new road will connect Mellita, Ken- wood, Glen Ellen, Agua Caliente and So- noma and will probably be an overhead trolley system. e Rrojocwn confidently assert that the railway will pe in operation before the expiration of this year. e A ‘ Piradina for Howard. SACRAMENTO, . CAL,, July 9.—Attor- neys W. H. Carlin of Marysville and C. 0. Miller of Visalia were granted an audi- ence by the Governor in favor of commuting the deat John E.

Backers of the Fresno Horse Lose Heavily on the Race. . G00D SHOWING OF DICTATUS. The Once Erratic Chestnut Cleverly Handled by Young Clarence Day. NAPA, Car., July 9.—The mercury in the thermometer took a leap upward to- day and when the bell in the judges’ stand tapped the starters in the opening events out the merry popping of corks from soda- water bottles sounded like target practice on a rifle range. Indeed, the sode from these noted springs seems more plentiful than ordinary river water, for the dust on the grounds flies around in big clouds which a sprinkling-cart might allay. Two of the events on to-day’s card were for district horses, but the rural visitor must have lost' interest 1n the trotters and the pacers, for these kindly folk with the little bunch of whiskers on the chin who patronize the ginger-bread and peanut- stands and reckon well tefore they make a bet, were conspicuous by their absence. Under the grand stand in the Monte Carlo department pain is depicted on the faces of the different game-keepers, and the man who has the privilege looks as though he bad troubles of his own. The iadies with their pretty dresses and rosy cheeks are very liberal in their pa- tronage and lend much gaiety to the scene. A splendid band discourses popular airs between heats. It is always the unexpected that is hap- pening in racing, and there is sorrow to- night among the backers of Strathmont, toe favorite for the 2:40 pace. After tak- ing two heats off the reel in clinking fashion, each in 2:14, one of the Fresno horse’s boots became loosened in the third heat, and he finished seventh. ' This marked the beginning of his trouble, for 1n the fifth heat he was distanced. He showea phenomenal speed in the second heat, going to the half in 1:04, and a low mark is predicted for him before the close of the season. Meridian, the winner of the race, which it took six heats to de- cide, was driven by the noted reinsman, Dick Havey, who replaced Moorehead in the sulky after the second heat at the lat- ter driver’s request; and to Havey’s mas- terly nandling can be accredited the stal- lion’s victory. Palecta Munger, driven by Charles Dur- fee, was the choice for the trotting race for district two-year-olds, selling in the 1s for $10 against $4 for the field; but ttractor, a good-looking youngster by Falrose, won in straight heatsin 2:41,2:34. The race for three-year-old district trot- tere was also taken in straight heats by the winner, J J, who sold in the pools for 10 against $5 for the field and $3 for Napa mce. The best time made was 2:26, in the second heat. When pooling began on the pacing event but one horse seemed to be in any reat demand—Strathmont. He brought 20, with Kate H bringing $9 and the tield $8. The favorite really looked like oil ont of the can, for be took the first heat like breaking sticks in 2:14 flat, with Cora 8 a good second. Kate H, the second choice, was distanced. The Fresno horse now sold for $10 against $3 for theentire field. He repeated this time in the heat following, with Cora 8 again second. In the third heat a loosened quarter boot caused the favorite io go into the air after passing the half, and Havey got Meridian bome two lengths in front of Cora 8 in 2:1614. The book laid $20 to $1 against the winner for the heat. t was reported that Strathmont did not cool out well after his two fast heats, and hedging - on the part of his backers was now in order. Cora 8, the game and persistent daughter of Button, captured the fourth heat in 2:20, with Dictatus second. This latter horse mafle a bad break at the first turn, but later showed a marvelous burst of speed, coming Lome from the half in 1:02. He was drfvsn to-day by Clarence Day, a son of the horse’s owner, and the young man’s handling of the erratic chestnut was the cause of much favorable comment amon, horsemen. After various professional reinsmen had given the horse up as a bad job, young Day took charge of him, ana, to the surprise of all, he appeared to-day without hobbles. He will evidently bear watching in the future. Before the fifth heat the field sold even up against Strathmont, to the disgust and horror of that horse’s followers. He made a bad break on the backstretch and was distanced, Meridian winning the heat easily from Cora S in 2:18, For the final heat the last-named two horses were the only ones to come out, and Meridian placed the heat and race to his credit by easily downing the game, but tired mare.

TRYING MONTECITO'S EAD County Officers Are Unable to Prove the Guilt of Barnard. No Blood Found TUpon His Knife or Clothing When Under the M croscope. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., July 9.—The inquest over the body of the little dog- trainer, Cyrus Barnard, was concluded to- day, but the endeavor to ascertain his con- nection with the Richardson murders proved abortive. There have been many cases where men have been shot down when resisting arrest for the commission of heinous crimes. Usually their guilt has either been a matter of wide public knowl- edge or their complicity has been readily proved. This is a unique case. Although a network of suspicious cir- cumstances involve the dead man, there is positively not one single piece of indisput- able evidence to demonstrate his cowmplie- ity. Last night even those who were most zealously endeavoring to give the dead man a fair trial, and to raise every possi- ble evidence in his defense, went to their homes almost wholly persuaded of his guilt and' fully expected that the micro- scopic examination of Barnards shoes and knife, which Drs. Hall and Otto had un- dertaken to make, would demonstrate the presence of corpuscles of human blood and establish the fact that he was the butcher who had slain gray-haired Mrs. Rich- ardson and her pretty dauchter. The physicians themselves expected it. To-day they reported that the most search- ing investigation proved these articles to be free from blood. This almost broke down the case against Barnard. Whosoever committed these murders walked in blood, and must have borne it on his garments. All the clothes that Barnard was known to possess have been found, and there is no blood about them. Yet the man's mean, dishonest character, his lack of principle or worthy sentiment, his corrupt morals, his familiarity with the house and grounds, the desperate re- sistance of arrest before he was charged with the crime establish a chain of suspi- cious facts which bring conviction to most minds. Sheriff Hick's directions to Hopkins when he sent the latter to arrest Barnard were given to the jury hrdng'. I told Hopkins to be on his guard,” the Sheriff attested, ‘‘for if Cyrus Barnard had committed those murders he would cer- tainly shoot before he would be taken.” This advice of his superior officer justi- fies what many have regarded as reckless shooting on the part of the arresting of- ficer, and raises from him all suspicion that he fired upon Barnard as a result of personal animosity or desire for a fight. As a matter of fact Hopkins has been feeling very dismal over the fact that he has killed 2 man. Although he served as city marshal of Santa Barbara for years, and was known as a brave and fearless officer, having made countless arrests and handled many desperate men, this is the first instance in which he hed ever taken another man's life and the second time he had ever shot any one. The verdict of the jury, declaring the kllling not only justifiable buta commend- able act on the part of the officer, is gen- mllg applaudea. John Murray Jr., who arifted into the inquest as a defender of the dead man, and who has shown himself as cool, cour- teous and keen a cross-examiner as any lawyer, is a picturesque feature of the case. He is the son of the somewhat cele- brated reader and elocutionist, and a few years ago was known as the rising youn capitalist of the county, owing a block of buildings in Santa Maria valued at $50,000. He is finely educated and possesses a face which impresses the most casual observer with its beuuly, purity and strength. A year or two ago he took up socialistic studies and, becoming imbued with these theories, deeded all of his property away and started out penniless to work for the world’s good and progress. He has been arrested and hooted at, but keeps steadily in the path he has chosen. Murray knew Bernard and has accepted him as a convenient, useful and not disa- finuble companion, whom he was in the abit of occasionally taking into the mountains. ‘While he dua:ud the man’s degraded character and | et when he found his acquaintance shot down and accused of a dreadful crime of which he was helpless to exonerate himself and saw that every man’s hand was raised against him he voluntarily espoused the cause of the dead. In doing this he put himself in the most equivocal position, drawing upon himseif the indignation of good men, who felt that he was openly posing andina sense accusing them of injustice. . Yet Murray has quietly endured the ig- nominy of his tion and the humilia- justice for a dead man whom himself eld in contempr. COyrus Barnard was buried this after- noon. Only five vehicles composed the procession; there were no mourners and it was impossible to secure pallbearers. The pretty Richardson viila out in El Montecito is closed. All of the doors are fastly locked and the tew movable valu- ables it contains have' been locked upin a bank vault. Ina few days a male relative of the family will arrive from the East, but :hut will be done with the estate nobody nows. 8AN LUIS OBISr(O’'S BLAZE.
