4 GREORYS TRIL T WEAERYLL Accused of Participating in Jack Littlefield’s Murder. IMPANELING OF JURORS The Town Is Rapidly Fiiling Up With Witnesses and Talesmen. SQUADS OF RUGGED COWBOYS Ride In From the Mountains, Bringing Blankets, Provisions and Cook- ing Utensils. WEAVERVILLE, CAn, Aug. 17.—The impaneling of jurors in the caseof the people of California vs. Jo Gregory, ac- cused of participating in the murder and subsequent hanging of Alfred D. Little- field, better known as Jack Littlefield, on September 27, 1895, near Round Valley, in the southeastern portion of Trimity County, was begun before Judge T. E. Jones this morning, Hon. C. N. Post, Dep- uty Attorney-General, and James W. Bart- iett, District Attorney for Trinity County, acting for the prosecution, and Oregon Sanders and Rob Fowler for the defense. In anticipation of difficulty in obtaining unprejudiced jurors, a venire of seventy- three talesmen was issued, of which Judee Jones excused fifteen, and from twenty- eight talesmen six were accepted and sworn at the time of the closing of court— namely, H. M. Hall, P. H. Bragdon, Thomas Treloar, P. O. Hennessey, H. T. Harvey Jr. and J. Bebeau. The balance are to be selected to-morrow. A favorite question of the defense seems to be whether the talesmen would be shaken in their conviction by the presence of a weeping woman, which from their resolute appearance seems almost super- fluous. The picturesque figure of Oregon | Sanders, as he rose from his chair and paced the floor in meditation, was in pleas- ing and artistic grouping with the motley assemblage of miners, prospectors, lum- bermen and cowboys appareled in overalls and soft shirts—such an assembiage as one could not tind outside of a California mountain town. Early Sunday evening the witnesses and jurors began to arrive—tall, stalwart men of the mountains who have been accus- tomed to the handling of a rifle from in- | fancy. No disturbance was made upon the streets, but one instantly felt thata | suppressed feeling of great intensity ex- | isted, and knots of from six to adozen | sun-browned men were to be seen stand- | ing on every corner engaged in earnest | conversation. The event of the day was the arrival of the witnesses for the prosecution from Long Ridge, headed by Ves Palmer, mounted upon wiry, active ponies. A | caravan of some thirty swarthy moun- | taineers, men skilled in the use of the | larlat and born in the saddle, their legs | encased in “shaps,” and their white nats and buckskin shirts sprinkled with dust| from the journey, their guns resting on the pommels of the saddles and their| blankets tied behind, wound down the narrow mountain trail and out upon the highways. Thev were pre- pared to camp during their stay at| Weaverville, and between them they | drove pack mules laden with tents, cook- ing utensils and great haunches of veni- son. Another party of about twenty wit- nesses will arrive in the same manner some time to-morrow. Itis expected that the trial of Gregory will last for two weeks, aiter which the cases of Haydon Buck, Lacock, Fred Rad- cliffe and Vinton will pe cailed, each of whom has demanded a separate trial. LIS AGELES WILL HeLP San Diego to Be Urged as the Japanese Steamship Line Terminus. Success Is Assured if Merchants Can | Guarantee Substantial Return Cargoes. Los AxeELEs OFFIcE oF THE CALL, 328 SouTH BROADWAY. Los ANGELEs, CAL., Aug. 17. } The Manufacturers’ and Merchants’ As- eociation held a meeting this evening and discussed the question of assisting toward the selection of San Diego as the eastern terminus of the new Japanese steamship line. Charles Forman of the committee re- ported that President Asano bad been most favorably impressed with the San Diego harbor, and about the only thing | necessary to secure the selection was the ability of Southern California merchants to guarantee the steamship company re- turn cargoes. Local millers had assured Mr. Forman that they could readily furnish 500 tons of flour monthly for the Japan trade, pro- vided the company couid give them a reasonable rate, so as to enable them to compete with northern mills. About 1000 tons of brewing barley could also be sent fiom this section as well as the 500 tons of cauned meats which Mr. Asano had assured him could find a ready market in Japan. The most necessary thing to the local people was the assurance ofa Japanese market for their commodi- ties, Mr. Forman urged that an agent be sent to Japan to establish trade there for Southern California goods. K. H. Wade, general manager of the Southern California Railroad, was called upon for some advice. He said that the success of the movement for San Diego would of course depend on an exchange of commodities between Southern California and Japan. He urged the people to make a concentrated effort and expressed belief in their ability to succeed. Speeches were also “faade by C. White Mortimer, Briush Viece-Consul, George S. Matzuma, a Japanese merchant, and J. R. Newberry. £ AL T LOS ANGELES ROADS, Supervisors and State Commissioner Mawde Discuss the Subject. LOS ANGELES, Can., Aug, 17.—Com- missioner J. L. Maude of the State Bureau of Highways met the Board of Supervisors for the purpose of talking over road mat- ters here to-day. A great many details of the road work of the county were gone into during the informal discussion. Mr. Maude and his fellow Commissioners have been ani- mated interrogation points for months past in every county and State, and are collecting a mass of statistics which will be utilized in the presentation of a bill at the next session of the Legislature. One of the points referred to this morn- ing was guide-posts, and the destrnctive- ness of the bad boys of the connty was al- luded to as an obstacle to maintaining guide-posts except upon the main roads of the county. The irrepressible impulse of boys with guns to shoot holes through the guide- posts was described and Mr. Hay, in re- sponse to Mr. Maude’s inquiry whether a stringent law with & big penalty wouln’t stop such things, said that he didn’t think it would. e TWO XOUNG MEN DROWNED. One Goes to the Assistance of the Other and Both Perish. LOS ANGELES, CarL., Aug. 17.—Frank Sherman, aged 19 years, and Harry Dick- erson, aged 20, were drowned at 10 o’clock this morning at Asbury station, three- quarters of a mile west of Long Beach, while bathing in the ocean. There were two of the Sherman boys and two of the Dickerson boys camped near the scene of the accident. At the time mentioned Frank Sherman and Harry Dickerson went in for & swim. They had been in but a short time when the Dickerson boj' heard his companion, who had ventured out beyond his depth, call for help. He hastened to his relief, only to be dragged down under the water, and after a short struggle they both disappeared out of sight. The only persons near the scene were some young girls, who were unable to render assistance. The alarm was given, and in a very short time a searching Eany put out in a boat, but up to a late hour the bodies had not been recovered. The parents of the boys reside at Eagle Rock, near Pasadena. SR R A San Diegan’s Daring Jump. SAN DIEGO, CAn., Aug. 17.—Horace Poole of this city jumped from a tower 93 feet high into the ocean at La Jolla yes- terday before a large crowd, alighting in 8 feet of water unhurt. The best previous record is claimed to be 89 feet some inches. STOCKTON RIVALS FIGHT. Two Men in Love With One Woman Try to Reach a Settlement. The Fair Damsel Turns the Tide of Battle by Vigorously Wield- ing a Kaoife. STOCKTON, Cav., Aug. 17.—While the officers were planning how to prevent the Meaxwell-Rochette fight last night a fistic encounter took place in an ark back of Banner Island which was as spirited as the one that did not eventuate possibly could have been. The prize was a greater incentive to exertion than base lucre, and, besides, the contestants were not on friendly terms by any means—in fact, they bore each other a most unfriendly feeling. The prize was a woman and the con- testants were rivals for her love. The men were Frank Keeney, familiarly known as “Curly-headed Frank,” and Jack Warring. The woman for whom the men battered each other in order to win her affection is a fair damsel who at one time waited on the table at the Philadel- phja House. Her name is Delia Colton, It appears that Delia was wooed by Keeney, who enjoyed the pleasure of her company undisputed by any one until Warring fell a victim to her alluring charms. Then it was that trouble began, ‘Warring recently had to go to Ione, and he persuaded the woman to accompany im. She left him at Ione and returned to Stockton. Warrning followed and found her in the company of Keeney in an ark on McLeods Lake. Here he sought to re- gain her affections, but her Stockton suitor was not to be outdone, and so the men engaged in a battle royal yesterday for the affections of the girl. Keeney was getting the worst of the encounter, when the woman for whom they were fighting rushed at Warring with a large knife. She was held back by bystanders and the men were separated. e ON EASTERN DIAMONDS. Standing of the Clubs and Scores of the Games Played in the National League VYesterday.

In the ninth inping of the second game, with the score at 15 to 14 in favor of the Phillies and Pond and Kelley on third and second, almost precisely the same play occurred. Keeler sent a short fiy to center which Hulen muffed, and Pond and Kelley came home, to the disgust of the 1900 spectators. Score: First game— Philadelphias 2. 5, 1; Baltimores 3, 11, 2.

McEeod of San Francisco won his handicap wrestling match with Edward Atherton of Cuba to-night in this city. McLeod Was to throw Atherton three times in an hour’s continuous wrestling. He got two falls in 40 min, 24 sec.; the first one being in 30 min, 38 sec, Ather- ton was severely punished by the handling he got and his stomach went back on him. He gave up after the second fall. The match was to have been for $200 & side, but Atherton forfeited $50 and did not make up the baiance.

BROWN'S RETURN T0 CARSON- CITY, Eagerly Awaited by the Public and Bank Officials. DARK RUMORS REVIVED Hints That the Young Man’s Presence Might Mean a Seasation. HOFER’S INTEREST IN THE CASE Desires to Swear to the Complaint in Order to Set Himself Right. CARSON, Nev., Aug. 17.—Ever since Harry Brown left suddenly for Mexico there has been a story circulated about once a week that he was on his way back. ‘These stories have been told so often that they have beea generally discredited by the public. Those who claim to be in a position to know say that letters have been received from him to the effect that he will be back on Wednesday. Since his departure the tongue of rumor has been pretty busy with the bank affairs, and now they wag livelier than ever. While the old bank managers have been claiming that they are scouring the earth with de- tectives, his friends say that he could have been found at any time, and that the bank people did not want bim. It is also claimed that Jake Klein’s friends consid- ered that he had been badly done up, and bave induced Brown to return and tell all he knows about the bank, the mintand various transactions that he is supposed to know a good deal about. Itis argued that no one person could possibly have taken the $68,000 and that Brown is coming back to admit the taking of $3000 and say that the disappearance of the rest of the swag he cannot accouunt for. Others claim that Brown will get off scott free on the plea that he merely induiged in overdrafts, the same as several other parties did, and that he is no more criminally responsible than they. ‘Whether any of these stories are true or not public curiosity is keenly whetted. There was a meeting of the bank directors this morning in reference to the matter. Evan Williams said that he would swear to the complaint, but Bob Hofer, the ex- cashier, who was present, said that he had rather swear to it himself as the public had placed him under suspicion and he desired to have an opportunity of proving that he had no connection whatever with the matter. It was finally agreed that Hofer would make the complaint as soon as Brown arrived and the case would go to the next Grand Jury. It appears that the friends and relatives of Brown have for some time past been urging him to return and face the music. He is not anxious to do this, but he has of late realized that he is a hunted man and a fugitive from justice, and while it has been charged that the old bank officials did not want him back it is nevertheless a fact that they placed descriptions of Brown and photographs in the hands of Chief Crowley, who sent duplicates to the detec- tive agencies of all the large cities, and he assured the bank. people that he would in due season deliver Brown to them. It is doubtless the feeling on Brown's part that he would eventually be arrested that has induced him to write to his friends that he was willing to come back and stand trial. Since the shortage was discovered the amount ($68,000) has been made good by outside parties who took the stocx of Williams, Klein and Coffin for the money they advanced, 8o that the loss has actnally fallen on these men. Yesterday Coffin, who had overdrawn about $10,000, was compelled to turn over as security his entire interest in his suit against the Union Mill and Mining Com- pany for professional services in the water suit on the Carson River. The defendants are Senator Jones, Congressman New- Jands, John W. Mackay, Evan Williams and others. The bank will begin suit at once against these parties. Every person who has overdrawn an account at the bank has been compelled to give full security by the new board, and not a dol- lar will escape. SAN BEUENARDINO'S OIL WELLS. Contracts for Sinking Let and Machinery Arriving, SAN BERNARDINO, CaL, Aug. 17.— About three months ago a company was formed 1n this city for the purpose of pros- pecting for oil. It was finally decided to sink a well in S8an Timoteo Canyon, abous three-fourths of a mile from Bicknell sta- tion, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. There is every surface and topographical indication that there is oil in that region. The contract for sinking the well has been let and the machinery has arrived at Colton. It will be taken to the canyon the work commenced, The contract- ors are to put down the well 1000 feet if necessary and the hole is to be nine inches in diameter. An experienced geologist asserts that there is an oil belt running from north to south the entire length of California and he is quite sure that this Pennsylvania oil regions. —_—— SUICIDE AT SEATTLE.

Bentence Deferred Pending Motions for and Against New Trial. SONORA, CarL., Aug. 17.—John T. New-} comer, who was found guilty late Satar day night of murder in the second degree for the killing of Colonel Dorsey on the 21st of last April, was before the Superior Court this morning for sentence.. His attorneys presented a motion for a new trial on the ground that Judge Nicol erred 1n his instructions to the jury con- cerning the lew of manslaughter, and also in his remarks upon the credi- bility the jury should give to New- comer’s testimony. ‘Fhe prosecution will also present their case against the granting of the motion next Saturday, to which time the further hearing of the case goes over. Byron Waters, Newcomer’s leading counsel, says that should Judge Nicol not grant_the motion he will carry the ease to the Supreme Court, where he is confident that his client will be granted & new & e MONTEREY'S FI1SHING CARNIVAL. 4n Xtalian Coptures & Tunny Weighing 650 Pounds. MONTEREY, CaL. Aug. 17.—Giuseppi Pisani, a fisherman of this city, yesterday caught a 650-pound tunny. The fishisthe largest tunny ever taken on the coast. These fish, which are most frequently found in the Mediterranean Sea, are now running in this bay in large schools. Sea bass have also commenced to run in large quantities and from two tosix tons are shipped to San Francisco daily. The salmon have slacked up somewhat, though the mackerel, smelt and sardines are still plentiful. There being so many fish in the bay Las caused the whales to come in. To-morrow the whaling crews under the respective commands of Ca tain Schaufele and Captain Pedro will ordered out. The whalery has been un- dergoing repairs and the whalers con- template a busy season. Nearly 175 boats g0 out daily for fish. THE NOGALES TROUBLE Three Yaqui Prisoners Brought in and Fully Identified as Marauders. Rumors of Further Arrests and En. gagements Cannot Be Verified. NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 17.—The three Yaqui prisoners brought in last night by Captain Dodge have been identified as baving taken part in the shooting here on the 12th. Their names are: Luis Lizo, Andrez Gonzaleze and Manusl Mesa, Lizo’s name appears on the list of the twelve who came from Tubae the night before the battle. The other two were of the party which met at Nogales, An investigation will be held by United States Court Commis- sioner Taylor at this place when the United States District Attorney arrives. The report of the arrest of thirty Yaquis by Captair Bomus has not yet been veri- fied, as he has not yet arrived. A report circulated that Arizona militiamen and United States customs guards went to the Mexican side and engaged the renegades in a fight on the morning of the 12th is not true. All the militia guns were taken to that side by the citizens and some militiamen who went as citizens, but the United States customs inspectors did not go to that side at all. They stayed on the American side several hundred feet north of the line, on the hillside near the United States Custom-house. They had orders from Collector Webb to do no firing unless from across the line, and the inspectors did not shoot until the Indians opened fire on them as they re- treated over the hill near the line. El Paso papers of the 14th inst.suggest that the militiamen and customs guard be let out and more sensible men put in their places. The citizens are very indignant at the items, as they consider the boys acted coolly and bravely. ARCHIBALD LEITCH DEAD. 4 Pioneer and One of the Most Enter- prising Men in the State. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 17.—Archibald Leitch, ex-Supervisor, died at 10 o’clock last night at his bome in' this city at the corner of California and Flora streets. Death resulted from a bowel complaint, which bad existed only for a few days. With the passing of Mr. Leitch, Stock- ton, with the interior of the State, loses one of its most progressive and successful men of affairs. His iile in this State was as varied as that of the typical pioneer, and he had not a little adventure. He was born in Robinson County, North Carolina, the son of a tiller of the soil. He was 74 four years old at the time of his death. He learned the blacksmith’s trade and worked at the forge a great part of his life, In 1849 he started for Califor- nia from Mississippi, whither he had re- moved. He and nine others came here overland, following the S8anta Fe trail into Los Angeles and thence coming up along the coast through Pacheco Pass to this country. « Deceased was a member of the Pioneers, of which society he was once president; also of Morning Star ge, F. and A, M.; Stockton Chapter, B.oyll Arch Ma- sons, and Stockton Commandery, Kiiights Templar. — OPENED ANOTHER MAN'S MAIL. C. Xansen, Who Bfim to Have Been Duped, Is in Trouble. LOS ANGELES, Car., Aug. 17.—Last Saturday night Deputy United Btates Marshal Oaks arrested C. Yansen of this city. The complaint came from El Paso, Texas, and charged him with opening mall not addressed to him. The complaint was issued in the name of Berger,a man who gained some un- 8avory notoriety in this section last year. Amrfflng to the jail officials, Yan- sen is a hard - working machinist. It is alleged, while he was at work last year he was approached by Berger, wio told him a tele of woe and asked him for assistance, averring that he would make him superintendent of a mine which he possessed in Mexico. Yansen Wwas taken in by these promises and helped Berger to $200. It was then discovered that the mine was a myth. For this he was taken to EI Paso, When Berger left he told Yansen thst he might open s letters. This, at least, is what they say at the jail. Yansen did ol‘:’" them, after which he forwarded them to the man at El Paso, who it isnow supposed has had Yansen arrested purely out of a spirit of malice, The requisition from Texas will be here in & few days, P L Died From Amputation at Tuda City. YUBA CITY, Can, Aug. 16.—George Obleyer died at his home near this place Saturday evening, from the shock of the amputation of his right leg, which took place a few days previous.

LOS ANGELES, CAvL., Aug. 17.—The ac- tion of Will A. Harris in taking a stand for sound money and placing himself at the disposal of the lncal Republican man- agers is regarded as of the greatest politi- cal importance, Harris is a BSouthern Democrat of the old school and was never known to waver heretofore in his devotion to his party. He is conceded to be one of the ablest speakers in the State and a law- yer of eminent ability and high character. His voice will be heard during the cam- paign in many of the-leading cities of California. His first speech of the cam- paign will be made in Music Hall, this city, next Saturday evening to the First Voters' Sound-money Club. At Republican State and Congressional headquarters in the Westminster it was learned this morning that encouraging letters have been received from Santa Barbara that the silver craze is on the wane throughout that county, that Re- publicans are vigorously and aggressively in line and many Democrats are announc- ing themselves for sound money and good government. Reports from all parts of this Congressional district commend the open and manly stand taken by Congress- man McLachlan in the opening of the campaign. The organization of publi- can clubs is progressing npidl{znnder the auspices of the National Republican Lesgue. The Democratic Congressional deadlock in the Sixth District continues. At an ad- journed session of the convention this afternoon four ballots were had without a nomination, the vote in each instance be- ing thirty-six for Rose and the same num- ber for Patton. A recess was then taken to 8 o’clock this evening, when three more 1 ballots were had, with the same result. This lacks one vote only of being a full delegation, and indicates how closely the lines are drawn. The absent vote belongs to General C. F. A, Last, who not only declines to at- | tend the sessions of the convention, but refuses to give his proxy to any one else. His vote or proxy would make a tie impossible, since with it 73 is the whole number. The remarkable part of to-day’s proceedings, is that while changes have taken place equivalent to a gain of four votes for each candidate since the sessions at Ventura. they equalize each other, leay- ing the result as_before, a tie. After the ballots this evening and some display of oratorical pyrotechnics from both sides, another recess was taken until 11 A. M. to- MOITOW. : —_— FIRST BLOOD IN TUOLUMNE. Opening of the Republican Campaign by Colonel Shaw. BONORA, Cav., Aug. 17.—The Republi- can campaign in Tuolumne County was opened here to-night by Colonel Henry G. Shaw of Stockton, who spoke to a large audience upon the monetary plank of the Republican National platform. His speech was very favorably received, his manner and methods of illustration being something unique. With his parity um- brella and shears he created a decided sensation among the miners, as with them he shewed how there would be an enor- mous contraction of the volume of money instead of an expansion in case the Demo- cratic-Populist doctrine of free coinage prevailed. The free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, with silver bullion selling below that ratio, meant the non-coinage of gold, and that of course was nothing but silver monometallism. The only practical bi- metallism to-day, he said, was where every nation using both gohi and silver as money Kkept the coinage of siiver under government control until there was a gen- eral concert of action. Such a policy was in the interest of all the people. Itkept silver at a parity with gold, and made every dollar in circulation as good as gold. The legalized use of gold and silver in the currency of a country at a fixed rela- tive value is true bimetallism, With haif of our metallic money to-day in silver and over four hundred millions of it full legal tender in use as a medium of exchange there was no foundation for the charge that the Republican Imrty was hostile to silver, Both the silver and paper now used as current money in the world op- erated on prices just as much as gold did. Colonel Shaw exploded, one after an- other, all the monetary fallacies of the sitverites and said they were the offspring of surmises, assumptions, vagaries and theories, while the Republican argument for sound money was drawn from the uni- versal experience of mankind, the orderly development of trade and commerce and the maintenance of pubiic and private credit. He accused the Populists of in- consistency in clamoring for the control by the Government of railroads ana tele- graphs and nearly everything else having a public nse, and at the same agitating for private control of the mints. The colonel said the gold miners of California had a deep interest in settling this great question rightly. Free coinage meant a premium on gold, but this did not mean that the miners would get any more for their gold than they now re- ceived. With silver as a sole monetary basis the gold miners would hold out their gold for the true valuation of this metal, and with Californians compelled to buy $40,000,000 of gold every year to liquidate interest charges upon specific contracts and for taxation, a popular storm of in- dignation would break upon the heads of the men who had invested their capital and energies in the development of the gold mines of California and then would come their turn to be vindictively assailed by the calamity howlers, the discontented, the theorists and the political adventurers in every party. Colonel Shaw was frequently interrupted |- by applause and his closing plea for lfl:x‘n ey, protection, sound money and rosperity was very heartily applaaded. e will talk during the week in Angels Camp, San Andreas and other mining towns on the mother lode. s o EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN MADERA.

SANTA BARBARA, CaL, Aug. 17.—A unique and interesting contract has been filed in the County Recorder’s office, by which John Resigh of this place agrees to drive a 300-foot tunnel into the hillsin certain Jands in township 4 north, range 26 west, the compensation to be a certain share of the possible water flow developed in driving the tunnel.

IMPRESSIVE SERVICES. The Fine Structure Packed to the Doors, While Hundreds Stand Outside. TRIBUTE TO FATHER NUGENT. To the Pastor’s Efforts Is Dus the Erection of This Handsome Place of Worship. EUREKA, Cavn, Aug. 17.—The beauti- ful new Catholic church at Ferndale was opened and dedicated to-day by Right Rev. T. Grace D. D., Bishop of Sacra- mento. The ceremony was most solemn and impressive. Hich mass was cele- brated at 11 o’clock, at which the pastor, Rev. T. Nugent, was assisted by Rev. H. P. Wyman and Rev. A. M. Olark, Paulist fathers from San Francisco. The sacred edifice was crowded tothe doors, visitors from Euieka, Rohnerville and surrounding towns being in attend- ance. All the available space in the church was filled and hundreds of people were unable to gain admittance. The new churen is of the Gothic style of architec- ture, admirable in proportion, beautiful in design and cost many thousands of dol- lars, 1t stands as a monument to the zeal of the pastor, Rev. Thomas Nugent, and is a credit to the people of the parish, who can congratulate themselves on the pos- session of a magnificent church entirely free from debt. The town of Ferndale, the headquarters of the parish, is situated in the richest portion of the Eel River Valley. Its citi- zens are hospitable and liberal and all shades of religious belief shared with their Catholic brethren to-day in celebrating this event, the dedication of an edifice to the service of God. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Father Wyman of San Francisco. This gentleman needs no introduction to the people of California. His discourse was able, eloquent and appropriate, and held the audience spellbound to the close. The music was rendered by St. Ber- nard’s choir of Eureka, under the direction of Miss Clara Dawson, the organist, with the assistance of some of the foremost vo- calists of this county. Following were the singers; Sopranos—Misses Buhne and Bell and Mrs.Callaghan; contraltos—Mesdames M. Christie, J. P. Monroe and Miss Schal- lert; tenors—Messrs. N. McMillan, Perry and H. Deering; bassos—Messrs, J. P. Monroe, W. Decantillon and Belcher. Millard’s beautiful mass in G was never 1aore artistically sune. The magnificent new edifice could not have been opened under circumstances more favorable. The presence of his Lord- ship, Bishop Grace of Sacramento, the opening of a mission by Rev. Fathers Wyman and Clark of the Paulist order, and the celestial strains pealing forth from the organ loft, all tended to make the oc- casion imposing and impressive and a fit- ting presentation of a house of worship to God. The pastor of this thriving congrega- tion, Rev. Thomas Nugent, assumed man- agement of the Ferndale parish about three years ago. He has already dem- onstrated his executive ability as a financier by erecting and freeing from debt the most beautiful house of worship in this part of Humboldt County and a church that in poiut of style, artistic dec- oration and general finish will compare favorably with the most pretentious sacred edifices of this character in Northern Cal- ifornia, Father Nugent’s fame, however, does not rest alone in his ability to build up and pay for this magnificent temple, dedicated to-day to God’s service. He is withal an orator of recognized ability, a logical reasoner, a scholar whose talents and learning have more than once made him the champion of his peopie—a pairiotic American citizen who only asks for that boon of political and religious freedom which is the foundation-stone of our Republic’s greatness and grandeur. The theaters of London will seat 60,000 people. ———— e e ——— UIT mineral drugs and go to using a pure herb remedy.
