THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1896. 3 SOLDER GUESTS OF LS GHTOS, | Camp City Guard L;)cated in the Center of the Town. COMPANY B'S OUTING. Tents Pitched in a Picturesque Nook Under Spreading Boughs. GAYETY AND DISCIPLINE, The Guardsmen Receive Instructions by Day and Make Merry at Eventide. { Camp Crry Guarp, ComPaNY B, First REGIMENT INFANTRY, N. G. C. } | Los Garos, Cal., August 16. Right in the center ot Los Gatosthe| camp is located. It is only a hundred | yar from the bridge, on Main street, which spans Los Gatos Creek. The trees in the creek bottom are so wide-spreading as to almost shut the camp out from view, until suddenly the reader finds himself aimost in the midst of it, unless he hap- pens to run up against a sentinel. But the Company B sentinel in the daytime is not the terror to the visitor that he be- comes to the prowler or the belated guards- man at night, whereat the large number of people who looked upon the camp to- day smiled and looked glad. A more picturesque or advantageous spot for an encampment could not have been found in a wide stretch of coun- try. It has all the charms of a sylvan retreat, with ample shade, bright and frequent spots of sunshine, quiet nooks offering seclusion when the stars are out hd “‘the moonlight is floating over all.” Within a stone’s throw of the flagstaff are all the advantages of a live little city, ous for its beauty. High above the rise the green and cultivated slopes cam of the Santa Cruz mountains, with their brown heads in the sky, and ten feet be- low the mess-tables ripples the Los Gatos on it way to the sea. Whoever | this spot had his eye out for the sof nature on the one hand and | the advantages of civilization on the other. This was the first day of camp. Tbe | number of visitors was not so large as it | will be to-morrow. About 150 people, in- | cluding many ladies, came up on the trains to-day and are stopping at the hotels. On entering camp the first thing the V! r sees is *“old glory"’ flying in the breeze at the top of the tali agstaff and a | brass howitzer, highly polished and glit- | ng in the sun. The latter gives the | visitor an impression of business. Can- | non nearly aiways project an idea of seri- ous business into the mind of the be-’ holder. When the caller wanders farther | and sees stacks of guns and glittering onets he concludes that the gallant s of the City Guard are not here ior altogether. And Captain George mer says they are not. “This is a camp of instruction,” he said to-day. “If you are here at company drill | in the morning you will think so.” There are over 100 men in camp and about fifty more are expected during the 1t was impossible for all the mem- of the company to get away from for the eight days that the camp continue, so those who are now ab- will come up for two or three days | the week. 1ts number ten. They are pret- hed facing each other, with a iy avenue runmning between, all have canopies of several‘ their entrances. The mess | table is very picturesquely located, and | three times a day it has added charms | that the able-bodied soldier finds it im- le to resist. { There wiil be a new countersign each night. The officers insist that a bottle will not ) ass muster as a substitute, and nothing but the countersign goes. So the dhouse is yawning wide open for the | st man who tries to seduce a picket from the path of his duty with a flask, It is not to be supposed that the boys of Com- | pany B are loaded with flasks for thisor | ny other purpose, but it was deemed e to have an understanding about the tter. | Captain George Filmer is in command, | and other officers. of Company B on the | ground are: First Lieutenant B. B. Stur- | divant, Second Lieutenant A. F. Ramm and First Sergeant W. N. Kelly. Among other well-known National Guardsmen | in camp are Major H. B. Hosmer of Gen- | eral Warfield’s staff and Captain A. H. | Williams, late of Colonel Sullivan’s staff. | The company surgeons here are Dr. T. A. | McCulloch, Dr. W. H. O’Malley and Dr. A. D. McLesn. Major-General James will be | here next Saturday with his staff and Gen- | eral Warfield and staff will be here next | Friday. The commissary department of camp «City Guard” is in charge of Quartei- master-sergeant A. H. Clifford,and the field music is in charge of Sergeant H. Sieberst (fifes) and Val Mills (drums). The com- | pany bugler 1s Al Aphthorpe, and he will make the rabbits high above on the hills lift up their ears and listen. A prize for the best-decorated and best- kept tent has been offered by Charles | Steiger, an honorary member of the com- pany. Itis not known yet what the prize is, but ot course it is worth having, and there 1s quite a rivalry ‘‘on the tented field”” to win it. ‘o-morrow night the members of the company will give a reception to the peo- ple of Los Gatos. There are signs that it is going to be.a “‘swell” and a very largely attendea affair. The grounds will be illuminated. The Los Gatos band of six- teen pieces has been engaged. The name | that the location of the camp is locally | known by here is Store’s picnic grounds, and there is a broad pavilion, which is | just the thing for dancing. A ball in the | pavilion will be one of the features of the reception. The gallant guardsmen and the fair visitors from San Francisco and the lovely maidens of Los Gatos may not dance *‘till the stars pale” in the eastern sky, but doubtless the time for sounding taps will be forgotten for a gratifying length of time. Other social features will adorn each evening in camp. There will be a drama before the week is out. The members of Company B are deter- mined to improve themselves as soldiers | in every way while in camp, but after they e arisen with the sun and worked hard the drill they will seek a recreation that will doubtless be well-earned. . To-night it was a typical camp scene. An arc light was swung over the main avenue and a large bonfire built a little to one side of the camp. The soldiers and a large number of Los Gatos young ladies sathered around the The camp siring band, composed of two guitars, two hers and a violin, made the evening beautiful with music. The guardsmen sang songs, and before taps sounded it was a case of everybody, including the young ladies, singing in the rec glare under the trees, For once “Tenting To-Night” was not sung, but everybody expected some one to start at any moment. They sang: ‘‘Just | Captain G Tell Them That You Saw Me,” “She May Have Seen Better Days,” *Ma Angeline,” “Better Than Gold,” and kindred songs. 1t was the first Sunday night in camp, and a most pleasant and suifable one. There is a box of carrier pigeons in camp. They belong to John Filmer of 422 Jersey street, San Francisco, a brother of Captain Filmer. Among the pigeons are Dick and Mary, two famous biras, which have a record of flying the twenty-eight miles from Red- wood City to their loft in S8an Francisco in twenty-five minutes. Dick and Mary will carry messages to THE CALL before the en- campment is over. At ieast two birds will be released each day, with messages to friends and to Mr. Filmer in the City. T.e idea of their use by Captain Filmer is to establish the practicability of utilizing homing pigeons as a means of communi- cation between army posts in time of war, when telegraph wires may be down and other communication cut off. The relatives and friends of members of the company who are stopping at the ho- tels are: Mrs, Captain Filmer and family, Miss Belle Sturtevant, Mrs. W. N. Keily, Mrs. T. J. Kelly, Miss Sadie McDermott, Miss Sailie Langden, Mrs. E. B. Peppin, Mrs. Dr. Sieberst, Mrs. Emily Sieberst, Mrs. Henry Osthoff and family, Miss Mills, W. F. Burke, Arthur Cills and Max Claussenius. The complete list of members of Com- pany B in camp at this time is as follows: q eorge Filmer, First Lieutenant B. B. Sturtevant, Second Lieutenant A. F. Ramm, First Sergeant W. N.

E LOS ANGELES CRUSADE Christian Temperance Women Declare War on the Bloomer. They Insist That the Garment Is Immodest, Unwomanly and Demoralizing. Los AxceLes OrricE oF THE CALy, 328 SouTH BROADWAY. Los ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 16, } The Los Angeles County Woman’s Chris- tian Temperance Union has declared war on the bloomer. Af its regular meeting in Temperance Hall'yesterday the follow- ing resolution was unanimously adopted: While we believe in the emancipation of women from anyand all customs which de- prive her of her freedom, either physically or mentally. yet we are not unmindful that to be most perfect is to be most womanly. We most heartily indorse the bieycle when moderately and modestly used and believe it 1s a blessing to women in general and working women in particular, but we regret exceedingly that many young women abuse the liberty which this modern invention affords and ihereby call -forth criticisms broad enough and indiscimi- nate enough to wound the heart of every true woman. We regard some of the bicycle costumes to be seen on our streets as unwomanly, inde- cent and demoralizing in their effect. There- fore, s a part of the great organization of Christian womanhood and motherhood, we, the Central Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of Los Angeles, raise our voice and enter our protest against this, or any eustom, the tendency of whi.h is to debase rather than elevate the human race. —_——— KILLED BY A LIGHTNING BOLT. A Pomona Man Stricken While Sur- rounded by His Family. LO8 ANGELES, CaL., Aug. 18.—Hiram D. Carter was struck by lightning, at Pomona, this afternoon and killed. His body was blackened and burned, and his eyes were deep-sunken in their sockets when he was picked up. As the weather had been very oppres- sive Carter removed his coat and sat in the shade of a fig tree in his front yard. About 4 o’clock a storm gathered and rain began to fali, accompanied by thunder and lightning. A bolt of lightning struck Carter in the chest, causing his death in sight of his family, who were on the porch. i, & Philanthropist Crittenden’s Work. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 16.—Charles N. Crittenden of New York, who isknown by his efforts to reclaim fallen women, de- hvered his first addrese here to-day.

VEWS OF WARE ISLAND The Pensacola Scon to Be Sent to Goat Island as a Training Ship. Will Be Fitted Out With an Eye Singly to the Comfort of the Young Seamen. VALLEJO, CAL, Aug. 16.—The Thetis will come out of the dry dock at Mare Island on Monday and the foilowing day the Peasacola will be taken into dock to be examined. In case any of the copper on the hull requires replacing it wili be done. The Pensacola is to be used as a training ship for boys. It will require little out- side of painting to fit the ship. Largeand comfortable, 1t is just the kind of a craft to house the young men who are to be- come seamen 1n the American Navy. Those being selected on board the receiv- ing ship Independence are among the best class of boys. Many present themselves, but few are selected. As soon as the Pensacola is placed in proper shape for reception of the boys it will be officered and taken to Goat Island and anchored. Word has been received for the con- struction department to go ahead and build the caisson for the stone dock, but as much of the iron is 0 come from the East it will be a couple of months before work is commenced, and then it will take two months to complele the job. Repairs are going ahead on all the ships, but without any particular hurry. Very few more men will be taken on prior to September 3. Clerks, watchmen and all | employes considering themseives under | | | | | ~ Camp City Guard, the Picturesque Outing Place of Company B, First Regiment Infantry, N. G. the civil service rules are langhing up their sleeves at how nicely, during the eleventh hour of the reign of Secretary Herbert, they have been placed in life positions to the exciusion of all persons that may be- long to the party of patriotism, protection and prosperity. In accordance with the recommenda- tion of Naval Constructor Hichborn propo- sals will be received for 242,000 feet of Ore- gon pine in assorted sizes for ships’ deck plank, to be kept in store at the navy-yard for use as required. Bids are to be opened in Washington on the 25th of the month. It basbeen the wish of the chief of the Burean of Construction for some time past to have a quantity of timber for deck planking on hand so that when shios come to the yard and require repairs to their decks they can be made without having to wait for the requisition to be filled. SAN BERNARDINO STORM. Terrific Downpour of Rain, Accompanied by a Heavy Wind Which Does Con- siderable Damage. SAN BERNARDINO, CiL, Aug. 16.— An unusual but not unprecedented atmos- pheric condition obtained in this region to-day. The morning opened hot and sultry, with light clonds hanging over the mountain range. By noon the clouds were of almost inky blackness and the distant roar of thunder indicated that at Squirrel_Inn, the Little Bear Valley and the Big Bear Valley the rain was falling in torrents. An hour later the storm | clouds moved westward, and Mentone and Redlands, at the head of the great valley, were receiving a terrific downpour of water. The storm-ditches were overflowed, and considerable damage was done to stores and other property in Redlands. It is re- ported that many orchards were injured by the rush of waters. In the highlands trees were blown down and considerable damage done to the growing orange crops. In this city the rain fell for two hours and wrought a radical change in the tem- perature. There was very little wind here and no damage was done. Not since August, 1891, has there been a storm in midsummer that in extent and severity approached to-day’s visitation. Undoubtedly the streams leading into the Bear Valley reservoir, and all the streams from which this valley draws water for irrigation, have been vastly replenished. FESHD WIDOW'S PLANT Mrs. Ellen Hilyard Sues Rancher Bahwell for Breach of Promise. She Is Fair and Forty, and the De. fendant Is Hoary With His Six'y Years. FRESNO, CAL., Aug. 16.—Mrs. Ellen H Hilyard, by her attorney, George L. Hood, yesterday filed a suit for $25,000 against Adam Bahwell of Tulare County for breach of promise. The plaintiff is about 40 years old and a widow, while the de- fendant is about 60 and a widower. Bah- well resides at Three Rivers, near Visaiia, and is considered to be worth about $100,- 000. The complaint recites the usual dam- ages which are experienced by plaintiffs in breach of promise suits by, the non- fulfillment on the part of the defendants of their promises. Mrs. Hilyard claims that she has in her possession a large number of letters writ- ten to her by Mr. Bahwell, in which he ex- pressed his deep love for her ana stated repeatedly that he would marry her. But he afterward changed his mind, and Mrs, Hilyard wants damages. [ LAIRS OF THE TRAMP RAIDED. Sizty-si® Walking Tourists Crowded Into Fresno’s Jarl. FRESNO, Carn, Aug. 16.—The police and constables made a raid on tramps be- tween 3 o'clock and daylight this morning and gathered in sixty-six of the tribe. They locked the prisoners in jail, and that institution wag yery much crowded- Twenty-eight of the tramps had to be put into the women’s ward, there being no female prisoners in the jail at the time. The officers raided all the “‘bobo roosts” in the city—box-cars, barns and haystacks, Along with the laboring peoble who come to Fresno annually during the fruit season there is always an influx of worthless char- acters. These have become very bold of late, and it was therefore determined to gather them in. ——- ROMAN BATHS FOR SAN DIEGO, Arrangements Under Way for the Con- struction of Extensive Tanl:s. SAN DIEGO, CAL., Aug. 16.—An insti- tution that will be a welcomed addition to the city is the Roman baths which E, 8, Babcock proposes to establish as soon ag arrangements can be perfected. They will be somewhat after the style of the Sutro public baths at the entrance to.| San Francisco Bay, and besides the facil ties for bathing, will have other con- veniences, which will make them a credit to San Diego. The features that have made the Coro- nado baths so popular will be embodied in the new baths, but the institution to be erected on this side pf the bay will be on a grand scale. - The building, according to the present idea, will be two stories high, with a tower running up from the most prominent cor- ner. The architecture will be modern. Balconies will run around the interior, as well as portions of the exterior at the second story, and there will be spaces to be filled by potted plants. Light is to be admitted through a dome, which will con- stitute the roof. \ at Los Gatos. V) W v, C., LIVELY FIGHT N THE SIKTH Patton and Rese Forces in Battle Array at Los Angeles. EACH CLAIMS VICTORY. To-Day Decides the Race for the Democratic Congressional Nomination. POPULISTS SELKING FUSION. Their Efforts to Have Barlow Indorsed Not Likely to Be Suc- cessful. Los AxGELEs OFFICE OF THE CALL, 328 South Broadway, } Los ANGELES, Cal., Aug. 16 Most of the delegates to the adjourned meeting of the Sixth District convention of the Democratic party, which will con- vene here to-morrow, are in the city. All manner of rumors have been flying about the streets during the day. The Rose contingent claims that Rose is a sure winner on the first ballot. Patton, how- ever, has his forces well in hand and is sure of one additional vote owing to the action of Delegate Irvine, who has re- voked his proxy given to Chairman Mer- ritt at the Ventura meeting. The Populist delegates from San Luis Obispo are expected here to-morrow in time to attend the Democratic conven- tion, and it is understood they will make a strong plea in favor of the indorsement of their nominee, A. C. Barlow of San Luis Obispo. This move of the Populists will meet with small encouragement from Demo- crats and will not be urged by the rank and file of the Populist party here, which, as friends of Dillon, are not at all pleased with the manner in which that gentle- man was turned down at San Luis Obispo. Patton’s friends claim that in the event of his nomination he will get the bulk of the Populist vote of Los Angeles County, de- spite the nomination of Barlow. The triangular fight which is certain to result will unguestionably result in the re-election of Congressman McLachlan, the Republican nominee. TR BANNOCK COUNTY EEPUBLICANS.

C., Aug. 16.—Full de- tails of the horrible death of Merchant Edward Eennah of Mt. Vernon, Wash., while on a pleasure and prospecting trip in the Cooks Inlet country, have been re- ceived. They confirm the brief account given in these dispatches of Kennah | slowly freezing to death while wedged in a glacier crevasse, his friends being un- able to extricate him. A party of six men, Kennah among them, left Six-mile Creek on July 2 to ascend Twenty-mile River. After rowing twenty miles np Turnagain arm to the mouth of the river they packed their blankets and vprovisions on their backs and traveled on foot. WkLen about fifteen miles up the river they found their way ®arred by a steep and narrow gorge. Leaving the canyon, they climbe! the mountain on one side, crossed a low divide and struck a tributary canyon which emptied into the river above the gorge. The upper end, however, was filled by a large glacier. They started to cross the glacier with the guide about 400 yards in the lead. The second man in line suddenly broke through tbe snow crust and fell into a crevasse. His rifle, which he was carry- ing in one hand, caugl# on either edge of the crevasse and he easily pulled himself out. The next man took Kennah'’s shovel and laying it on the snow stepped across. He handed the shovel to its owner and went on his way. He bad gone about thirty feet when | there was a crv from the rear, ‘“‘Man down.”” Kennah was nowhere in sight. Four men hurried to the crevasse and looked down. The old man could not be seen, but answered their calls. He suid he was not hurt, but that he was slipping down further. The men hastily tied three pairs of blankets together for a rope. The guide who came back added a plece of clothes line, making a rope about sixty feet long. They let this down with a pick on the end of it and told the old man to place it between his feet. He said that he | could not move his arms. Evidently one leg was loose, for the men above could hear him moving the pick around. “Boys, it is nouse. I am agoner. I can do nothing to save myself. I will have to die.”” The others cheered him to xeep up his courage. His partner, a small man, tied the improvised rope around his waist and went down. He found that the crevasse went straight down for twenty feet, when it branched off at an angle to a width of eighteen inches. He could get down only thirty feet and Kennah was yet twenty feet further down and out of sight. The unfortunate man begged him not to risk his life any further, and said: “I can’t talk any more, boys.”’ In answer to their question as to whether he was suf- fering much pain, he said, faintly, “Yes.” That was the last word he utrerad, and his companions concluded that he had frozen to death, and it was impossible to do anything more for him. Reluctantly | they wended their way down the glacier, NEW TO-DAY. Here is an industry that is a credit to the community, em- ploying over two hundred white wage earners.
