4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1896. STAGE ROBBERY NEAR HAVILAR, The Kernville and Caliente Coach Haited by a Bandit. TREASURE - BOX TAKEN. Several Thousand Dollars in Gold Bullion and Coin Secured LOSE NOTHING, PASSENGERS The Road Agent Believed to Be Crowley, the Alam:da County Fugitive. BAKERSFIELD, CAL., Ang. 28.—A lone highwayman stopped the Kernville and Caliente stage this afternoon ata point four miles this side of Havilah, relieved it of Wells, Fargo & Co.’s strong bex, and ordered the driver to proceed to Caliente. The hold-up ac- curred about 2:30 o’clock, shortly after the stage had turned over the divide going down into Walkers Basin, in a little sag well sheltered by trees and underbrush. The first intimation of trouble came when a masked man stepped from behind a large oak tree, within a few feet of the road, and leveled a pistol at the driver, commanding hin: to stop the outfit, and stop it then and there. The driver obeyed and brought the team to a sudden stand- still. “Throw out that box and bein a hurry about it. Time is precious with me,” was the outiaw’s command. “All right,” responded the boyish driver, William Sweet. Then be in a hurry about it."” this time the masked bandit had got on a little rise near the stage, where he could better superintend the job. There were three passengers aboard—Dan Doh- erty, a saloon man of Kernville, Ernest | Brantiheidt and a mining man from Los | Angeles. They were asked if they were | armed, and quickly came a negative repiy frem each. Brantiheidt, who' was sick, added: ‘T have no gun, but you can kill me if you want to, because I have been thinking about doing it myself.” The box was bolted to the bottom of the stage, and when the driver went to throw it out he informed the highwayman thatit would take some time to get it out. ““Well, then,” said the man with the re- volver, ‘‘you had better get a crowbar I nave here behind these bushes,” pointing back behind bim, “and tear it out, for I | bave but little time to fool here.” After about ten minutes, which seemed to driver and passengers more like ten hours, the box was torn away, and then | the stoutest looking passenger wasdirected | by the robber to throw it on the bank where he was standing. This the pas- senger said he could not do, as it was too heavy. “Then drop it out into the road and be in a hurry about it.” Out it went. “‘Drive on now!” was the last command. The driver did not have to be told twice to do this. After having gone a short dis- tance Doherty looked back to see what had become of the robber. He saw him stoop down ana pick up the box and walk off with it into the thicket. This was the last seen of him. The box when empty weighs about sixty pourds, and it is said to have contained about $2000 in bullion, besides some coin. The outlaw wore a mask apparently made of a flour sack. He was about 5 feet 10 inches high and wonld weigh about 160 pounds. He appeared to be about 35 years of age. He was dressed in a suit of duck, wore a white felt hat and wasclean shaved and of sandy complexion. He was very cool and deliberate about his work. The officers here are notified and will leave by the first train in pursuit. They believe that the robber is Bandit Crowley. REDWOOD CITY NATIES, Extensive Preparations for the Next Grand Parlor Meeting. By Giving a Concert San Francisco Talent Will Assist in Raising Fuands. REDWOOD CITY, CaL, Aug. 28.— ‘When in April last the members of Red- wood City Parlor, Native Sons of the Golden West, received the news that the next Grand Parlor was to come to this city, its members realized that it meant work and plenty of 1t for the Native Sons in this county. A committee of seven of their ablest workers—Sheriff W. P. Mec- Evoy, W. J. Plump, City Clerk D, R. Staf- ford, County Assessor C. D. Hayward, L. J. Frank, H. W. Echobergand Guy Phelps Hall—wasappointed to at once begiu plan- ning the details for raising the necessary funds and securing the good will and co- operation of the citizens of this city ana vicinitv. The nucleus of the fund was ob- tained by giving a ball at the Albambra on July 4, which was a tinancial ‘as well as social success. Next Monday evening a concert and en- tertainment will be given at the Alhambra by some of SBan Francisco’'s best-known artists. Among them will be the Chicker- ing guartet, composed of Frank Coffin, D. M. %Vnrd and B. E. Tucker of Grace Church choir and R. F. Tiiton, organist at St. John’s; William McDonald, the basso soloist of Grace Church choir; Miss Mabel Love, the noted soprano, and Sheriff Whelan of San Francisco. An overture will be rendered by the local orchestra. A fine programme ‘has been prepared Jfor Admission day. Finger's grove has been secured for the occasion, and at that vlace aclambake will be given at noon. Thes aiternoon will be devoted to ad- dresses, races, games, athletic exercises and dancing, In the evenipg at 6:30 o'clock s firemen’s tournament and open- air band concert will be given 1n town, the festivities of the day to close with a ball at the Alhambra. From the fact that the proceeds of these entertainments are to be devoted exclusively to the “Grand Parlor fund,” and from interest manifested by Redwood City people and thosz of neigh- boring towns, it gives promise of being one of the largest gatherings in the history of 8an Mateo Countv. el'ne parlors at Mayfield, Menlo Park, Halfmoon Bay and San Mateo have signified their intention of joining the local parlor in a parade. The interest which has been shown in the success of the Grand Parlor by neigh- pering parlors is most encouraging to the | and though still members here. For instance, Menlo Par- lor has voted to hold its anniversary ball on Friday, October 23, and devote the pro- ceeds to the fund. Seaside Parlor will also give a ball and hold a day of outdoor sports for the same purpose. San Mateo Parlor has given notice that ‘‘they are with us to a man.”” The Native Daughters of the Golden West are equaly as en- thusiastic and will render material assist- ance. : ——— BERING SEA SEIZURES. American Revenue Cutters Arrest Two Schooners of the Canadian Sealing Fleet. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 28,—News of the first sealing seizures in the Bering Sea this year was received indirectly from Unalaska to-day. The information is brought by the schocner Jessie, bound for Port Angeles, which was spoken by the Lorne, Captain Langley, fifty miles at sea, off the entrance to the straits. It was learned that the Beatrice of Victoria and the Beatrice of Vancouver were the ves- sels seized. They were arrested for beiaz within the prohibitive line, and were or- dered to Esquimalt to report to the ad- miral of the British fleet. No other par- ticulars were learned, but it 1s probable that the two sealers, if seized, are not far behind the Jessie. The Victoria Beatrice belongs to Captain ‘W. Grant, one of the cldest men in the sealing business in this city. The schooner is a 66-ton vessel and is commanded by ‘W. Peter, a very skilled navigator. The other Beatrice is owned and eaptained by A. P. Jones, and is of 49 tons register. e et GAYETY AT DEL MONTE Walter Hobart Leads a Charge Against the Frigidity of Burlingame. Mirth and Good Humor Now Prevail Where Before Was Conven- tional Iciness, DEL MONTE, CaL., Aug. 28.—1t has been decreed that no more shall Burlin- game be bedecked with icicles here at Del Monte, and every one seems waking up and meeting the emergency grandly. The beautifully illuminated grounds have at last attracted the notice of the guests of the hotel and gained well-deserved praise, and the inhabitants of neighboring towns were not the only persons who enjoyed their charming arrangement. To young Walter Hobart is largely due the change in the social atmosphere, for his vigorous, jovial personality makes its effect appar- ent upon those he meets. He laughs and the world—as represented at Del Monte— is laughing with him and is happy. Ed Greenway came down last night, the first of the old-timers to give Burlingame the sanction of his presence. Burlingame should be duly grateful. Mausic divides the hours with light this year, for what with Huber’s orchestra and Cassasa’s band, not to mention the sono- rous tones emitted from Hobart's tallyho bugle, the air is full of sweet sounds both day and night. Mme. Modjeska, the distinguished act- ress, and her husband, Count Charles Bo- zenta Chtapowski, will arrive to-morrow, much of an invalid, the famous tragedy queen will greatly enjoy | the closing events of the meet. | This was polo day, and in the morning | nothing else was talked about. The game | was 1o begmn at 3 o'clock on the polo grounds at Del Monte Park. It was be- twee Burlingame reds and whites, A. F. Wainwright, J. 8. Tobin, C. A. Baldwin and J. Tobin Jr. for the former color, and W. 8. Hobart, R. M. Tobin, J. Lawson and Cyril Tobin representing the whites. It was long before 2 o’clock that the town spectators arrived to see the game, but it was 3:30 before any Del Monte rig came to the grounds. The first to appear was Baldwin’s coach, drawn by his favorite | four-horse team—two iron-gray wheelers | and a black and a gray as leaders. Mr. Baldwin was at the whip, with D. O. Mills’ | daughter by his side. On the second seat were Mrs. J. Donohoe and Miss Tobin | with Baldwin’s pretty bride between them. |On the rear seat Joe Donohoe and Mr. Wallach were seated. Tobin’s trap was next, with the two Misses Tobin and Mr. Francis from Lon- don. Captain Payson and family were next to arrive, in their pretty private car- riage. F. 8. Douty and family soon fol- lowed in one of Del Monte's finest equip- ages. Douglass Dick and family were close behind. Perry Tarbutt Sr. and Miss Tarbutt came in their private trap. Then Hobart’s bugle was heard, and he soon drew rein by the polo grounds, driving his drag, drawn by his favorite four-in- hand team of bays. J. D. Grant’s trap was the next, with Mr. Grant and Mrs. Gas Spreckels on the front seat. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander, Count Cesare Boma, Mrs. Frank Carolan | completed their party. Mr. and Mrs. Mc- | Calmont, Mr. and Mrs Rawlins and Mr. | ana Mrs. Robinson were in another Del | Monte rig. Mrs. Easton came out in her | victoria, with Miss Stowe at her side. In | another rig were Lord Sudeley, Mr. Wilt- | see and Joe Redding. The two polo captains decided to have three periods of twelve minutes, and two | minutes’ rest between each. ‘‘Jack’ Cas- serley was the timer, while Ed Tobin acted as umpire. The game was a dashing | one from the start. Atthe end cof the third period the score was a tie—two each. The whites wanted to play another period, , but the reds demurred, as their ponies were exhausted. The whites ciaimed the game, and the umpire reserved his de- cision. e BEAR PINS IN DEMAND, Stocktonians Decorate Themselves With Admission-Day Lmblems. STOCKTON, Car., Aug. 28.—Secretary Willy of the general committee in charge of the Admission-day celebration received word to-nizht from Fred C. Holland of San Jose that the three parlors of the Garden City would come in a body. They have chartered the steamer Alviso and will come to Btockton on that boat. There was some doubt about 8an Jose be- ing represented iere, and this is the first official notification that the parlors of that city will be present. To-day, for the first time, the official badges for the celebration were offered for sale. They consist of a celluloid pin with a bear depicted on it, 2 pendent ribbon with the carnival colors and a medallion on which is shown the granite courthouse of this county. They are very neat, and nearly every one in Stockton'is wearing one to-night. The decorators were at work to-night in the headquarters of the commuttee in the Yosemite building, preparing the floats that are to be used in the pageant on the water. The headquarters have been taste- fully decorated with the carnival colors, and rows of Japanese lanterns adorn the window: and doorway every nicht. The Native Daughters held an im- portant meeting to-night in Native Sons hall, which was attended by all the mem- bers, the hall being crowded to the doors, Miss Ida Sperry appointed a number of committees to assist the reception com- mittee in .caring for the visitors who will be here on Admission day. Governor Budd returned to Stockton to- day from a cawping trip in the vieinity of Lake Tahoe. He said that he would be on hand on the 9th of September to take part in the parade on the mornin: of that day. ——— GoLprUGs and Fort Sumter in to.day’s Star. * | Pytnians. PYTHIAN HONE -~ FOR SHN DIEGD Infirm Knights Will Find Rest and Plenty in the South. OPEN TO THE WORLD. California Grand Lodge to Pos- sess the Park Tract and Buildings. GIFT OFFERED BY THE CITY. Funds Now B:ing Raised to Beautity the Structures and Grounds. SAN DIEGO, CaL, Aug. 28.—A fine home is all ready for the Knights of Pythias of the State if they wish to take it. There is considerable evidence that they are onlv too glad to get it, so the prospect is flattering for the early establishrent of the World’s Pythian Home at San Diego. —~——a The perfect climate, fine surrounding grounds and elegance of the home itself will make it a paradise for the aged and infirm of the order who will enjoy its sheiter. San Diego to give a deed in trust to the State lodge of the Knights of Pythias for the house, outbuildings and grounds known as the Children’s Home in the City Park. How the city acquired this property is an interesting story. About seven years ago when Bryant Howard was a pillar in the financial structure of San Diego as president of the Consolidated National Bank (since de- funct) he secured from the city, by special act of the Legislature, 100 acres of the City Park, under sn agreement whereby him- self, James M. Pierce and O. 8. Witherby were to maintain perpetually an orphans’ home, oid women’s home, school of tech- nology and several other eleemosynary in- stitutions. Bryant Howard was the chief figure in the deal and when Pierce died he left a will directing the expenditure of a large sum in the buildings and grounds. Witherby did not make much noise, but in the course of a lawsuit after the suspen- sion of the bank it developed that he was putting up the larger part of the cash and giving Howard the credit for it until after his own death when the world was to be made acquainted with the fact that Witherby was the principal benefactor to the widowsand orphans. Bryant Howard calmly appropriated all the glory to him- self. After the failure of the bank Howard dropped the “park tract,” as it is calfed, and since then the buildings have been vacant. Howard testified at one time that he and his associates had expendea $175,- | 000 on the groun ds and the two buildings, the larger and mo re expensive building being the one offered to the Pythians. This building with one or two outbuild- ings cost $65,000 and is admirably adapted to the purposes of a world’s home for t is constructed in a summer- | like, breezy style of architecture, but at the same time is a solid and substantial structure. The grounds were laid out on an elaborate scale by a trained landscape gardener and carefully attended for five or 8ix years, Ti:e whole 100 acres did not receive this costly treatment. About twenty acres surrounding the building, however, are in splendid condition. All kinds of rare | trees, shrubs and semi-tropical plant life are to be found there. The topographical character of the grounds is especially adapted to beautiful adornment. Gently rolling slopes, stretching away to an up- land behind the home and down to a deep ravine to the left, admit of picturesque grouping of trees and shrubs., On the sunny south slope of the canyon, running along the edge for several hundred feet, are rows of evergreen shrubs laid out to spell the words, “A sound mind in a sound body.” A mile distant, aiong the principal sireets, these words can be made out, spelled in living letters. The heights are crowned with forest trees planted in- discriminately, afforaing pleasant shade and a touch of wildness so much desired by true !andscape artists. The two Pythian lodges of San Diego have been working on the plan to secure this home ever since there was a prospect of the property reverting to the city. Last week Judge Puterbaugh of the Superior Court rendered a decision giving the city the 100 acres and all improvements, on accourt of the failure of Howard and his associates io perform their coutract. The matter is now entirely in the hands of the i\.ily, subject to approvalyby the Legis- ature. Harry W. Vincent, assistant city clerk, is secretary of the Pythian Home commit- mittee of the Grand Lodge. Heisactively working to secure the magnificent prop- erty for the Pythians. A canvass of mem- bers of the City Council resulted in a vir- tual promise of united support in the undertaking. Judge Stanton L. Carter of Fresno is chairman of the commiittee, and he will prepare the legal documents to be submitted to the Counail. 1t is not ex- pected that there will be any strong oppo- sition to the plan, as the city bas no use whatever for the building, ana would be gm to continual expense to keep it up. he Pythians propose to secure a trust The proposition on foot is for.the city of | $27,000. deed conditioned upon | their keeping up the building and groundsiu perpetuity. They will ask for not more than thiriy acres, and probably only twenty, but these will be the highly cultivated lands sur- rounding the home. After the Council has by ordinance done all it can to give the deed the matter will g0 to the Legislature forapproval. There- fore the P,vtghns do not expect to be able 1o establish the home until next year. But they are gathering funds in the mean- time and working in every way to bring it about. The State lodge bas now $5000 in the fund, and wall have $15,000 to_$20,000 when needed to put the home in fine con- dition and buy furniture. The home is intended to be open to all aged and infirm Pythians in the world, but will be subject to the absolute control of the California Grand Lodge. SUICIDE AT SAN JOSE.

Jackson of San Francisco and Mrs. Nellie Holbrook Blinn of San Jose. Colonel T. V. Eddy was bilied to open the cam- paign here, but arrangements failed and Colonel Jackson and Mrs. Blinn came on instead. They were given a kindly greeting, and Tulare gives them a hearty recommenda- tion for the future, Colonel Jackson dis- cussed the money quesiion in a masterly manner, and by homely and timely illus- trations showed clearly the fallacies of the opponents of sound money. His discus- sion of the tariff question, though brief, was given close attention and hearty ap- plause. The speech of Mrs. Blinn was re- plete with burning sarcasm and convinc- ing logic. The first gun of the campaign was a conspicuous success, and has an ef- fect which will not be lost upon the sov- ereign voters. E — SAN DIEGO DECISION.

The organization will hold a mass-meeting to-morrow night to decide whether to adopt the indorsing plan or to come out boldly and put up a ticket. According to a man prominent in American Protective Association ranks it s almost certain that the latter plan will be adopted, but some of the nominees on the other tickets may be put up among the others.

Mayor Pennoyer ond R. D. Inman Carry Enives for Each Other. PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 28.—R. D. In- mau, chairman of the Board of Fire Com- missioners, has resigned because of the determination of Mayor Penncyer to manage the fire department instead of permitting the Commissioners to do it. As lnman is a very popular member of the silver Democracy, his resignation has caused friction in that party. Mayvor Pennoyer and Inman have been the two shining lights of the Bryan forces in this city, the latter having been the fusionist candidate for Mayor two years ago and Pennoyer being the Prespt Mayor, elected by the same combination. The Mayor refused to let the Commissioners discharge Harry White, a fireman, who had spoken maliciously of Ilnman two years ago in the campaign. Bome weeks ago Paul Wessinger re- signed from the commission because of the Mayor’s statement that every official under him must vote for Bryan. ST S8ANTA CRUZ POPULISTS.

Equalizer Beamer acted as inquisitor, and several times he and Dalton indulged in wordy wars, Dalton said that his assessments were lowered only in places where proverty had depreciated. He acknowledged that he had made mistakes, but stated that they were on both sides of the line. Beamer called attention to property bearing mortgages, stating that there were 219 mortgages in the city, representing $778,222, that were assessed only $512,125, Dalton said that there were circamstances attending these loans that caused more monev ro be loaned on lands than they were worth.

They are> Will A, Harris, George J. Lovey and 1. H. Johnson. Mr. Harris before 1:e started said: *‘It is not definitely decided that a ticket will be placed in the field tg represent the gold Democracy. Personally I fayor such a ticket with Carlisle at its head, 1f he will accept. Next to Carlisle my choice is Henry Watterson of Kentucky or John M. Palmer of Illinois. If Watterson does not have the first place I favor Buckner of Kentucky for Vice-President.” He believes the effect of the convention will be to restore to the Democratic %nn.y its time-honored traditions, though SO doing he expects to see the election of Mc- Kinley assisted. Pl T S WHITE IS NOT SANGUINE, Doubtful of Victory for the Chicago Convention Nominee. LOS ANGELES, CAL., Aug. 28.—Senator Stephen M. White left this afternoon for San Francisco, where he is to speak at the formal opening of the Democratic cam- prign in California to-morrow evening. A local newspaper of strong Bryan tenden- cies this evening reports the Senator as saying before his departure that he had hopes of Bryan’s election, but was by no means sanguiae as to the result of the great National contest. His exact wordg Dalton protested that he was unable to judge of instances when he wasnot fur- nished with information sufficient to give bim an idea of the location of properties. The discussion of property values in Murray township was entered into, and Deputies Winegar and Chadbourn as- sumed the defense. They stated that assessments had fallen about §55,000. Most of the loss was on vineyards. Land wortn $100 an acre three years ago could now be bought for $30. The grape crop was a failure this year and had failed last year. Beamer presented data showing some very low assessments compared with mort- gages. It was explained that the mort- gages were taken when prices were high, and were renewed from time to time. Far into the night the board wasen- gaged in making comparisons in mort- gage and property values in Alameda County real estate, and Assessor Dalton demonstrated the fact that he was per- fectly cognizant of the art of ‘'standing pat”’ on all questions, Forinstance, when the mooted question as to why he had as- sessed the Oakland Water Company for the sum of $614,175 only, when the sworn statement before the City Council placed the valuations on the property at over $5,000,000, Mr. Dalton retorted: “The sworn statement has nothing to do with me. I sumply assess the property as I find it.” . Then Equalizer Beamer produced list after list of individual arsessments of private holdings, showing that they were not assessed within 50 per cent of their appraised values. The following table of mortgaged property in various portions of Alameda County was then produced by were: ““Well, it is all guess work, but I think Brvan will be elected ; but still there isno teiling. Cleveland may get up a war with England, and an election would be an un- certain thing.” Pt Gl Shasta McKinleyites.

SACRAMENTO, Car., Aug. 28.—Ira P. Clarke of Alameda made a remarkable test of his car fender in the presence of the City Trustees and streeicar officials. After it had picked up a dpmmy several times, Clarke lay didgonally across the rails and told the motorman to go back fifty yards and “‘turn her loose.” Friends nm{stungers tried to dissuade him from making such a test, but he insisted on it. He lay face downward puffing a cigar, and the car came on and the fender picked him up so gently that the only damage done was to remove a button from the jurnper he wore.
