STOCKTON GIVES CYCLERS A FEAST, Wheelmen Eat Their Fill of the Famed Melons From Lodi. OUTING OF MANY CLUBS. Goodwater Grove the Gathering Place for Hundreds of Enthusiasts. DANCE UNDER SPREADING OAKS Fair Members of the Bloomer Brigade Lead an Imposing Pro- cession. STOCKTON, CAL., Aug. 9.—The water- melon run of the Terminal City Wheel- men was a great success, Every prepara- tion had been made to give the visiting cyclers a good time. That they had one there can be no doubt, judging from their words of praise. The morning boats brought hundreds of wheelmen from all the bay towns. Few clubs were not repre- sented, and there have never been so many wheelmen in Stockion at one time before. The streets were crowded with the visiting cyclers to-night, and they made merry until a late hour, parading the streets, scunding their club yells and with their colors flying. For weeks past the committee having charge of the run has been hard at work perfecting its arrangements. It has had the assistance of all the club’s members and of the other local organizations, both in the actual labor of arranging for the affair and in the preliminary runs held for the purpose of advertising it. The Ter- minal City Wheelmen were confident of success, because they had received so many assurances from members of out- side clubs all over the State that they would participate in the outing. Their expectations were more than realized, for when the procession of wheelmen formed this morning it was nearly eight blocks long. The Sixth Regiment band had been en- gaged, and at an early hour began to play in front cf the clubrooms of the Terminal City Wheelmen, on Sutier street. Here the local men kept open house all day and entertained those who made trips into town frem the grove. When the procession had formed it pro- ceeded through the principal streets of the city, greeting the citizens at all tifnes with club yells and cries and the univer- sal cry of the long line of wheelmen: Keep asingin’, Keep a-yellin'— Watermelon, ‘Watermelon! Out to Goodwater Grove this long string of wheelmen went, & corps of lady cyclers leading the van. Hundreds of unattached wheelmen, with their wives and sweet- hearts, joined the parade, and at every crossing the length of the procession was increased. Many had their wheels hand- somely decorated, and the long line of wheelmen and fair cyclers presented a de- cidedly pretty appearance. As vhe grove was reached each club gave its yell as the riders belonging to it passed under the gates and sought the cooling shade of the great oaks that cover the grounds about the clubhouse and dancing pavilion. Each clab secured a favorite tree and stacked its wheels at the foot of it. Then all went in for jollity and that element of pleasure held sway for the rest of the day. The band began to play for the dancers long before the noon hour, and even the great watermelon feast could hardly lure some of the wheelmen from the dance hall. A lunch was served during the after- noon and at 3 o’clock the great pile of watermelons were placed before the throng that was hungry for the luscious red fruit from Lodi’s soil. All last night and early this morning the growers of watermelons could be seen driving into town with their wagons well filled with ripe melons, so there was no lack of an adequate supply to-day when visitors and Stocktonians fell to demolishing the fruit. ‘When tne feast was over dancing was once more engaged in. The grove presented a pleasing sight this morning when the procession of wheelmen entered the gates and stood grouped abont under the trees. Bl ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

CHICAGO, L, Aug. 9.—The Browns put up & miserable fielding game io-day, which was in marked contrast to the work of the Colts.

STOCKTON, Cax., Aug. 9.—The hase: ball game here to-day between the Stock- ton nine and a picked team from San Francisco, playing under the name of the Will & Fincks, was one of the best of the season, but it ended in a row, to the dis- credit of the visiting team. Lochhead and Pace, and Fitzpatrick and Peters were the batteries for Stockton and VY:H & Finck{ respectively. Lochhead did great work in the box, siriking out seven men, and if he had been given his dues by the umpire, he would have had ten strike-outs to his credit. Up to the last inning the visiting team had slightly the better of the score. In the ninth the Btockton men went to bat with Hickifi- hqtham up. Hebad been struck out every time before, but this time was hit by Fitz- patrick and went to first. Babe White then lined out a double that brought Hickinbotham home, and then Lochhead sent out a two-bageer that brought White over the plate. Pace then went to the bat and knocked the- ball over the fielder’s head for a home run. The sphere was re- turned to Peters, and he secured it justas Pace crossed the plate. In his run Pace ran into the catcher of the visiting team, knocking him about ten feet. The manager of the Will & Fincks protested against Pace’s run counting, butthe nm- pire was firm. As Manager Campbell of Stockton had paid off the visiting team, the latter had noching more at stake, and refused to play longer, making the score a tie. Following are the runs by innings: Stocktons. . 0002000385 Will & Finks 0002011*5 gk Al SPORT AT SANTA MONICA. First Heat of the Annual Swimming Contest Won by Carrillo. SANTA MONICA, CarL., August 9.—The first heat of the second annual swimming contest of Southern California was raced here to-day from the beach in front of the North Beach Bathhouse to a buoy one- sixth of a mile from shore and return. There were six entries—Leo Carrillo, Joe Hart, H. Tsueda, I. R. 8heckels, William Rapp, the two latter withdrawing prior to the race. The start was a superb one, Carrillo and Hart taking the lead and the Japanese and Sheckels following. It was a pretty race between the leaders to the buoy, they keeping even all the way. Carrillo turned a little ahead of Hart, and from thereon kept gaining in spite of his antagonist’s efforts until he reached the starting point, the winner of the race. Time, 12 minutes; Hart second, 14 minutes. Sheckels, who was distanced, claims to have become sick.

WOODLAND, Car., Aug. 9.—The out- look for the fair and race meet to be given by the directors of Agricultural Associa- tion No. 40, beginning on August 24 and continuing six days, is very promising. ‘When the directors of the fair association began to entertain a doubt as to the advis- ability of holding a series of races this year the business men came to the rescue and subscribed so liberally that the com- ing fair will be a most successful one. Horses of all grades and classes are ar- riving on every train. Martin & Welch’s string of runners arrived yesterday from Ingleside and is quartered at the track. Three days will be given over to the light- harness horses and the last three days to the sprinters. Reports from all parts of the State are to the effect that horsemen are anticipating a most successful meet at ‘Woodland.

ESCALON, CAL., Aug. 9.—Of the many new towns that have sprung up in the State in the past few years none have started out with such a brilliant prospect of success as the little town of Escalon. Bituated as it is in one of the most fertile of valleys—the lovely 8an Joaquin—it has promise of being one of the most enter- prising villages to be found anywhere. It ison the line of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad, twenty miles from Stockton and in the heart of the best grain-producing sections in the State. Thousands and thousands of acres under cultivation and irmgated by the Stanislaus and San Joaquin ater Company’s canal will in time make it an important grain center. Thus far this season an avenie of four cars of grain per day has been shipped. The Valley Rail- way Company are erecting a handsome. depot and freighthouse. et WRECKED A1 MULLAN.

The Morn- ing mine will be closed until the train can be replaced and the track repaired. 2 —_— ARIZONA’S COMPLAINT. Fraudulent Railway Bonds Validated by dct of Congress. TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 9.—It is a matter of considerable comment throughout the Territory that while President Cleveland refused to approve the Congressional bill authorizing the leasing of the school lands of Arizona for the benefit of the public schools, he during the closing days of the session approved a bill which is an attempt to validate over $1,000,000 of void and fraudulent Arizona railroad bonds, and accrued interest, and which were, previous to the passage of the law, declared invalid by the Bupreme Court. Not more than one mile out of five of the roads pretended to have been consiructed, and for which the bonds were issued, exists. A demand will be made ufin Congress and the Presi- dent to relieve Arizona from this iniguitous congresslnnsl law. The payment of the bonds will be resisted by every legal means. sty it .

DOUBLE CRIME AT SAN JOSE Vinanzi Crossetti and His Betrothed Slain by a Rival. SHOT IN THEIR TRACKS Harvey Allender Encounters the Couple on a Street and - Opens Fire. MADE DESPERATE BY JEALOUSY ] Awful Vengeance for the Spurning of His Attentions to the Young Woman. SAN JOSE, Oavn, Aug. 9.—The murder of a young man and a young woman as & result of jealousy occurred this afternoon 1n this city at 3:30 o’clock. The victims were Vinanzi Crossetti and Wally Feilner. The latter was a young German girl, who for some time has been employed as a cook in the family of Mrs. McMillan. For some months she was engaged to marry Crossetti, who, with his brother, con- ducted a blacksmith-shop on North Mar- ket street i this city. This afternoon the young couple went out for a walk and had reached a point on North Third street, near Santa Clara,when suddenly they were intercepted by a man named Harvey Allender, who jumped from a bicycle he had been riding and made an attempted to talk to the girl She would not listen to him and attempted to get by, when suddenly Allender whipped out a six-shooter and fired at her. The bullet took effect in the girl’s neck and she fell. Allender then fired a shot into her body- as she layon the ground. All this did not require a second of time. Crossetti did not run away, but was right upon Allender and attempted to take the pistol away from him. The shooter then turned his pistol upon Crossetti and shot him once in the abdomen. The bullet penetrated the liver, cutting a large artery, and death ensued in a few mo- ments from internal hemorrhage. After being shot Crossetti ran across the street to the Empire engine-house, where he exvired. Allender started as if to fol- low Orossetti after he shot him, but stopped sudaenly in the middle of the street, looked at his pistol, and seeing that a shot remained held it off and fired athis head. He fell to the pavement and ap- peared lifeless. He was carried into the engine-house and laid beside his victim, and when the police patrol wagzon arrived at the scene the two men were laid in it and were hauled to the police station to- gether. The body of the girl was taken to the Morgue. At the police station Allender soon re- | vived and it was found that he «had not been injured, the bullet only having passed through the rim of his hat. A crowd collected at the engine-house and there were loud threats of lynching. Allender heard these and epoke of them afterwards at the police station, and it is believed that he shammed death, thinking this was a good way to escape from the hands of the angry crowd. Allender was formerly a very intimate friend of the girl, and once proposed mar- riage, but she refused him. Shortly after this refusal, or about a year ago, Miss Feiluer became engaged to Crossetti. They had since been very devoted to each other and were to have been married in October. Allender never gave her up, but con- tinually haunted the couple and made threats against both of them. They re- centiy received a number of threatening letters, containing drawings of skulls and cross-pones. As much as possible, Cros- setti and his intended tried to avoid Allen- der, but or numerous occasions he in- truded his presence and threats upon them. For a while the girl would listen to him, but recently she determined not to countenance him in any way, and this ex- asperated Allender. The unfortunate girl had been in this country only a few years, and her only relative here was a sister, who was a house servant, The girl was well liked by all who knew ber. She was intelligent, 1ndustrions and of irreproachable charac- ter. Crosseiti was a blacksmith, a good mechanie, 24 {ears of age. He was a member of the Italian Benevolent Society and San Jose Hussars, and was highly esteemed, being of the best habits and in- dustrious. Harvey Allender, the murderer, talked freely after he was lodged in the county prison. When interviewed by & Caiwn representative he was somewhat nervous, but did notv seem to realize the enormity of his crime. He was asked tomakea statement, and after he had rolled a cigar- ette and lighted 1t he told the following story : “thave known Miss Feilnerover a year. ‘We used to go together and twice were en- gaged to be married. The first engage- ment was broken off through the influence of other people, who got the girl down on me. We became engaged again three or four weexs later, but had a disagree- ment on March 18, 1895. Since then she has been going around saying that I had threatened to chloroform, stab or shoot her. She was a good girl and I don’t know why shetole such stories. She even went around to the places where 1 v- ered ice and told them the same story. People kept asking me about those threats and my friends joked me aboutit until my life became miserable. I never made any such threats and didn’t want to be accused of it. I quit my job several days ago, principally on her account. “Crossetti and the girl began to keep company and a couple of months ago a friend told me that Crossetti was ru&in agun. I was also told that Pisi, one Crossetti's friends, wanted to do me up. I got a gun myself about two months ago. It was given me by a friend whose name Idonot care to mention. After that I saw the girl on the street a few times, but we did not speak. She kept on tellin stories about me and I decided to lpng to her about it, as she had queered me all over town. *1 don’t remember all the particulars of the trouble to-day. I was walking south on North street and saw Crossetti and Miss Feilner coming toward me. He was leading a wheel and walking by her side. I walked between them and the fence, and then, turning toward her, I asked why sh continued to run around and say .d had been trying to kill her. I was excited and don’t remember her answer. Cros- setti spoke up and said: ‘Go on; wmet . I don’t want any - trouble with g Isaid 1did not want any trouble either, but that the talk about me had to stop. We had a few words and then Cros- nmjumpodn[m Yunrlo hand hukus to get a’gun. I got my gun out like a and began to shoot.” 2 0. whom Allender wanting to kill him, was an_intimate friend of Venanz Crossetti. He denied the story told by Allender, and said that Crossetil never had carried a weapon of any kind. As to Miss Feilner and the murderer ever having been engaged, he stated thai he was positive that there was no truth in the claim, as he knew that ‘l‘un Feilner nad aiways disliked Allen- er, Harry Barnes, an extraman for the Em- pire Engine C:)'x'npnny. was seated in front of lhs»qnfiing.home when the shooting began. e was sitting with his back &;w:rd ‘the street when he heard the first shot. “As I turned around,” said Barnes, “the woman was falling to the walk and the man with the piuwf was shooting at the fellow who was with the woman. The wounded man started to run across the street, and I made a break for the tels- phone in the engine-house. I did not see the murderer try to commit suicide, as I was inside at the time."” Police Officer James Prindiville knew both Orosetti, the man murdered, and Al- lender, the murderer, well. He stated this eveming that on several oecasions Crossetti had shown him notes from Al- lender containing drawings of skulls, crossbones -and coffins, and threatenin, his life unless he ceased associating witl Wally Feilner, the girl murdered this aft- ernoon. - Crossetti, the officer claims, con- sidered the threats a mere bluff on the part of Allender. He said if Allender did attack him_he would find_him unarmed, as he would not_carry a pistol. Crossetti told the officer he was engaged to Wally Feilner and expectea to marry her during the wiater. Allender, the officer stated, repeatedly asked him how he could get a permit to carry a pistol. He claimed that Crossetti was trying to take his girl away from him and had threatened him with bodily harm. Patrick Mulvaney, a boarder at the New York Exchange Hotel in this city, came from San Francisco to Alviso with Allen- der on last Friday. He states that Allen- der carried a large pistol at that time and in explanation said: “A greaser is trying to steal my girl and has threatened to do me up when he meets me, and I am taking the gun for protection.” Helen Feilner, the younger sister of the deceased and ber only rtelative in this country, they having come here together from Germany about four years ago, was prostrated with grief. She is also a serv- ant-girl and is ilghly recommended by the families by whom' she has been em- ployed in San Jose. About eight months ago District Attor- naf Herrington had an experience with Allender in connection with his jealousy of Crossetti. The former came to tne Dis- trict Attorney and told bim that Crossetti had made threats against him and asked what he should do. He was taken to Crossetti’'s blacksmith shop, and after hearing both stories the District Attorney became convinced that Allender wasin the wrong, and that if any dangerous threats had been made he was the guilty Fnty. Allender was then advised to leave the girl and Crossetti‘alone and he would have no more trouble. froiicss e Mewicans Will Celedrate.

Young Van Heekeren the Last Descend- ant of a Noble House of the Netherlands. MERCED, CAL., Aug. 9.—The full name of the Hollander who committed suicide in Merced on Thursday was Jobn Van Broekhuizen Heekeren. . He was the son of the Baron of that name, now residing at Ngm-gen. Nether- lands, and, according o the custom of his native land, was entitled to the title of Jonkheer, until his accession to the baro- netcy, which would have occurred atthe death of his father. % The family of the Van Broekhuizen Heekerens was one of the oldest noble families in the Netherlands and dates from the seventeenth century in an un- broken line of descent. The death of the father of the suicide will mark the extinc- tion of the family name, as the deceased was the only living son. A _ The father is an old and feeble man, liv- ing on his estates, which have dwindled away until at present, although not a poor man, he is rated as one of the ‘“poor aris- tocracy.” A married sister is his only survivine relative. The family has not been particularly noted in the annals of its country beyond its pride in its ancestry. Tge suicide was a queer man—a_rover— and at times acted strangely. He was, while living in his native land, a sergeant in the Schuttery, which corresponds to our National Guard. While living in San Francisco some years ago, when James DeFremery was consul, he had some difficulty with the consul, and threw bricks and rocks througn a consulate window to emphasize his disapproval. ELOPES FROM WINLOCK, Mrs, Homer V. Root Runs Away With Her Husband’s Partner. The Former San Francisco Detéctive Swears Vengeance on the Pair. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 9.—Homer V. Root, 2 Winlock (Wash.) farmer, is here looking after his eloping wife and her present companion, “Jack” Frothingham. He says that if he encounters the couple Frothingbam will “bite the dust” or him- self will die in the attempt to kill the eloper. “ Root has traced the runaways to this city, and he feels confident that they are here yet. They decamped from his ranch about a week ago, taking with them $400 in currency and $1100 in bonds, all his own. When Root was asked why he did not invoke the assistance of the police to find his people he replied that he was a pretty good detective bimself, and besides he de+ sired that no arrests be made. He wanted to handle the business personally. He said that he and Frothingham had been connected with a private detective agency for three years in San Francisco, making money at the business. He saved his earnings, while his colleague squandered his share on women and cards. About a year ago Root bought the Winlock farm. Frcthingham being ‘‘broke’ and out of work, he gave him a home. “For some time past,” added Root, “I noticed that ‘Jack’ and my wife were un- commonly confidential in their talks, but I thought nothing of it because the idea never struck me that I was nursing a ser- pent. We have been married ten years, never bhaving had a disagreement. 1 trusted my wife as I would my life.” Root, taking a note out of his pocket, said in a choking voice: “Look at that. That has made me desperate.” It read: o fo¢ ¥ Are o6 of the Dest et oh SRERL ut ‘‘Jack” has so much influence over me that I must go with him. I can’t explain it, but try to forget me.

With reference to his wife he spoke most sympathetically, claiming she possibly was under hypnotic influences, in which power he is a firm be- liever.

T DON'T FEEL BAD, BUT IF I GO to excess in any way I am all played out afterward."” This is the way thousands of young men explain the matter. It is serious. There was a time when nothing was excess—they could stand anything, but now the slight- est exertion is excess, and ‘‘plays them out.” ‘What is excess to-day will cause nervouns prostration inside of two years, because the body is growing weaker every day—the vital, recuperative force is daily growing less, and will in time give out completely.
