STOCKTON READY FOR HER GUESTS, Finishing Touches Being Put Upon the Street Decorations. THE NATIVE DAUGHTERS Joaquin Parlor’s Splendid Work in Preparing for the Festival SCCIETY AT A MINSTREL SHOW The Admission Day Fund Swelled by an Enormous Sale of Tickets. STOCKTON, Car., was in gala attire to-night. The long lines of electric lights thatline Main street from the railway depot to El Dorado street and along that street to the Masonic Temple were ablaze. They were red, white, biue and gold, the golden color predominating. Thousands of people witnessed the spec- tacle and none had aught but words of praise for the committee on decoration that had arranged the electrical display. The dome of the Courthouse was also | lighted with 1ts 1000 incandescent globes and the whole effect was wonderiully beautiful. Seldom have the streets of any city pre- sented a more pleasing spectacle than that | which met the eye of the promenader on | Main street to-night. Hundreds of pretty women, all attired in light evening dresses, all bound for the big performance for the benefit of the carnival fund, were passing. Beneath this blaze of many- colored lights the procession of fair ones looked exceptionally pretty. All day long the decorators were at work placing bunting on the fronts of the prin- cipal Main-street stores, and to-night, when the thousands of electric lLights were turzed on, making the city bright as | day, the scene was decidedly an attractive one and higkly gratifying to those Native Sons who have been urging the store- keepers to ‘“put their best foot forward” during the coming three days of Admis- sion day festivities. The work of the various committees is about ended, so far as planning is con- cerned, and now the members are seeing that their schemes are properly carried out. The Native Sons and Pioneers will be admitted free of chargeto the ball in Agricultural pavilion on the night of Sep- tember 9, but others will be taxed $2 each, every ticke: entitling a lady and gentle- man to admittance. The Native Daugh- ters will be out in force on that night. They have long been préparing for the event, and Joaquin Parlor No. 5, now nearly 100 strong, will be there in a body. Numbers have been added to the member- ship roll at every meeting held recently. At that held last Friday nighesixteen new members were initiated and seven applica- tions for admittance to the parior were re- ceived. Ida Sperry, the president, has been laboring hard for the success of the cele- bration, and has been ably assisted by Mrs. Mamie Manthey, Mrs. Lena Miils, Grace Willy, Mrs. Belle Stockwell, Miss Hannah Gray, Miss Clara Stsir, Miss Fiorilla Campbell, Miss Ida Safferhill, Miss Zetta Kohlberg, Miss Louise Gallup aad Mrs. Rebecca McConnell. These have been most prominent in performing the work of the various committees, but many others in_tbe parlor have lent helping hands and will come in for their share of the praise when all is over. Among these are: Miss Emma Hilke, Miss Ida Biaisdell, Miss Annie Adams Miss Jessie Harris, Miss Julia Weber, Miss Minta Smith, Miss Lena Nevin, Miss Eliza Watts, Miss Belle Laogier, Miss An- nie Black, Miss Carrie Whiting, Miss Jes- sie Thrift, Miss Grace Loveland, Miss Emma Adams, Miss Winnie Smith, Mrs. Baker, Mrs. B. Webber, Mrs. Mapes and Mrs. M. Dorr. Ail will take part in enter- taining the visiting Natives at the head- quarters in the Courthouse on the S8th, 9th and 1Gth. The headquarters will be kept open until after midnight each night during the festivities, The fair ones who belong to Joaquin Parlor have done much to make the com- ing affair a great success. When they participate in the street parade, with their dude bats, white duck dresses and white parasols, they will make a splendid show- ing. The parlor is one of the oldest in the organization of Native Daughters. Its charter officers were: Past president, Mrs. Belle Stockwell; president, Miss Hannah Gray; first vice-president, Mrs. Althea Hickman-Dunlap; second vice- president, Miss Kate Abramsky; thira vice-president, Miss Nellie Austin; re- Sept. 2.—Stockton | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1896 W SRR N Vil |Native Daughters of Stockton Who Are Lending Valuable Assistance to Make the cording secretary, Miss Emma Debnam; financial secretary, Miss Belle Grunsky; treasurer, Albertina Hickman; marshal, | Carrie O’Brien; inside sentinel, Maggie | Davis; outside sentinel, Emma Abramsky. | From the date of its formation interest | has never flagged, and mauy of those who | helped to organize the parlor are prom- | inent in arranging for the celebration of next week. Grand Marshal Nutter has everything in readiness for the parade on the morn- | ing of the 9th, and he has been ably as- | sisted by Major Frank Lane in his efforts | to make the pageant asuccess. There will | be seven immense floats in the line, and | there will be ten divisions of Native Sons, | each headed by bands, and many of the | parlors will have drum corps besides. One | parlor alone will bring a drum corps of | twenty-six, the largest that has ever par- aded in line of march in this State. ’ This is one of the Sacramento parlors, | which will be joined in coming here by | the Woodland parlor. They will be given | prominent positions in the parade. { , Chairman Burres of the parade commit- | tee has about finished his several floats | that are to be features of the procession. | There will be another parade here on the | evening of the 8th, when the visiting | Natives who arrive on the night train from San Francisco will be met at the railway depot and escorted through the main streets and to their various head- quarters by a torchlight procession headed by Stockton Parlor, with plenty of music. = To-morrow Chairman Henry Adams of | the press committee will have an opening | at the headquarters of the commistee in | the Yosemite Theater building, to show the general committee what arrangements bave been made by him. He has been one of the most eathusiastic workers throughout the entire affair, and among other things has secured enough liquid refreshments in the way of wines and brandies to care for a regiment. The general headquarters, where the reception committee wiil take its stand to wait upon the visiting natives, has been gorgeously decorated and will present as attractive an appearance as any head- quarters ever provided at any former cele- bration of the Native Sons. Arthur H. Wright, Charles Hutchinson and Robert Inglis bave charge of the bi- cycle meet at Goodwater Grove, that is to occupy the time between 1:30 and 3:30 on the afternoon of the9th. They are having the track put into condition for record- breaking, and on Sunday will have the fifteen-ton steam-road roller belonging to the city at work on the track to make it hard as a concrete course. This they will be able to do, as tne trick isone of the best in the State, and it will be strange if some records do not go by the board on the afternoon of Admission day.

A At, 3:30 o’clock the regatta will begin. The wingle-scull events and one of the races for outrigeer skiffs will come first and then will come the senior barge race, which is looked forward to with so much interest by every one in this city and by many San Franciscans. The minstrel .show in the Yosemite Theater to-night for the benefit of the carnival fund of the celebration was the social event of the season in Stockton. Never before in the history of the Yosemite Theater was every seat, both up- stairs and down, taken before the evening ing the performance. This morning not a seat conld be had for love or money. Even the aisles were crowded to-night and if the Eglice woald have allowed camp stools to used these would have sold at a pre- mium, First came the minstrel gnt, and it was one of the best ever enacted by burnt-cork | artists, even those in the professional line, in Stockton. Following is the complete programme, from which some idea may be gleaned of the care taken to make the | affair a success: Minstrel first part. Interlocutor—Frank H. Gould. Bones—A. L. Levinsky, Bert Lewis, Marsh Ladd and Majar Frank E. Lane. Tambos—George Young. Charles Young, Dr. F. P. Clark and Eugene Wilhoit, Introductory overture, “Corral Valley Trip,” orchestra and minstrels.

This last number made one of the hits of the evening, and in the ballet, as Van- dettaeena, were Justice von Detten, who weighs 230 pounds, and Carl Davis as Miss Daviserina, who is 6 feet 4 inches in height. ;l‘ne balance of the programme was as fol- lows: Ira Ladd (the popular ballad singer), “Dream of you”. “The Black Hussars,”’ Captain Wil- liam Bruce, commander.

All were members of the local militia companies and were warmly applauded for their work. Paul Eichelroth’s imitation. of Hermann's trick of catching a bullet fired at his head was also well received, and when the farce written by Arthur Levinsky was produced the audience was convulsed. The show netted the carpival committee a hand- some sum. Major Gus Grant, w? the prime mover in the affair and was largely instrumental in making the entertainment the success it proved to be. Fire at Salinas. SALINAS, CaL., Sept. 2.—Fire brokeout at noon to-day in Uncapher's livery stable on Main street. The building, a large two- story frame structure, was enveloped in flumes before the fire department arrived. The horses and carrh;u were all removed, but the barn and the hay and grain it con- tained were The loss to_the Uncapher estate is ; insurance, $1000, RIVAL GAMES OF CHRIS AND SAM, Buckley’s Convention Will Smoothly Register His Will HOW THE SLATE READS. But Sam Rainey Can’t Make His Work Smoothly and Trouble Brews. M'NAB HAS TROUBLES, TOC. The Junta Campa'gn Committee Fac- tions Are at War Over the Com- ing Convention. To-night at B’nai B'rith Hall the Buckley faction of the local Democracy will hold the first session of its municipal convention and begin the process of framing the municipal ticket which will be used as the basis of the legal contest to determine which faction is, under the law, entitled to the regular heading, “Demo- cratic,” on the ballot. At to-night’s meeting the usual conven- tion committees and some extra ones will be appointed. One committee will be ap- pointed to recommend nominations for Supervisors and another committee will be charged with reporting a ticket of School Directors. The convention will probably adjourn for twenty-four hours to allow the platform committee a respecta- ble time to report the platform, which is now ready for submission to the com- mittee. Under the law the 13th inst. is the first day when a party ticket may be filed with the Registrar, who is required to accept or reject it promptly. The Buckleyites will have their ticket ready on that day. It will be rejected by Mr. Hinton and a writ of mandamus will be at once asked of the Supreme Court by the committee of at- torneys which has charge of the case, That delayed and daily expected Su- preme Court decision as to whether the county officers in this City and county hold their offices for four years injects a feeling of uncertainty into the situation all around, but the Buckleyites are going vigorously ahead with the preparation of a full ticket, and the big headquarters on Ellis street are nightly crowded by aspir- ants for office and by the loyal “push,” The executive committee met last aven- ing, with M. J. Donovan ia the chair, and canvassed the primary election returns, and Christopher A. Buckley held his usual rear-room levee. 3 The first kick against Buckley’s author- ity developed last evening over the making of James C. Nealon the chair- man of the convention. It was caused by the sort of love and admiration with which some Buckleyites regard Nealon, it is true, but nevertheless it was a rebelli- ous thing to do. The ex-Assessor is an old friend of Buckley’s and has been promi- nent in the affairs of the faction. Buckley decided to put him on the slate for chair- man and then kickers began trotting quickly to Cnris. Buckley wouldn’t rub Nealon’s name off the slate and the kicks began to float around outside and to be- come threats to openly oppose Nealon’s election in the convention. Attorney Charles J. Heggerty is one of the candi- dates of the anti-Nealon people. 1f Nealon remains on the slate there may be some fun over the chairm anship. The siate is decided upon so far, as it presents Dr. Stanton for Mayor, Fleet F. Strother for Auditor, M. C. Haley for County Clerk, Thomas J. Glynn for Re- corder, Colonel John O’Byrne for District Attorney and W. F. Humphreys for City and County Attorney, but some other of- fices are still awaiting decision. E.T. Mills wants to be Tax Collector and is much talked of for the office, but there are others in the field. Thomas Ashworth, who doesn’t appear to have secured any prominent place on the slate vet, is talked of as a possible candidate for Treasurer. Thomas J. Ford, the ex-School Dirsctor, is looked upon as the winner of the nomi- nation for Superintendent of Streets, but John Morton,the contractor, Daniel Sheer- in and others are pursuing it. The nomina- tion for County Surveyor will probably go to either John M. Curtis or Charles Hol- comb. There isa big crop of candidates for Supervisors and School Directors. ‘When the retnrns from the Seventeenth Senatorial District were canvassed last night it was found that Thomas F. Egan of the Twenty-ninth Assembly District was credited with six votes more then his rival, ‘‘Larry” Buckley, of the Twenty- eighth District. In Egan’s district eight of the 975 votes cast had been found to be mutilated and were thrown out, giving Egan 967, the entire vote. Buckley’s friends say that the eight votes thrown out were votes for Buckley, which some- bow got Kust the Inspector. In the Twenty-eighth Buckley’s friends counted only the 961 votes in the box, none of which were for Egan. As the only reason Buckley’s vote was not heavier was that the supply of ballots gave out early and many people were thus restricted in their voiing privileges it will be seen how a fateful little accident may determine the career of a statesman. Buckley filed a contest last night and may proceed to kick up trouble. His friends, who could not provide ballots énough to give him the nomination, could yesterday hardly look him in the face, although they were quite used to it. e SAM RAINEY’S CONVENTION The Junta Is In a Row Over the Way to Appoint It. The municipal convention that Sam Rainey and Gavin McNab are going to operate alongside of Buckley’s looms into view about ten days distant and some- thing serious can be already seen to be the matter with it. Sam Rainey is understood to be a little ashamed to display his convention along- side of that of his old partner. The con- vention that Chris has about fashioned with the exception of appointing the mover of adjournment at the end will be “built like a watch” and run a smooth course with a master for chief engineer. But Sam can’t get the pesky thing to work just right. He will control it along with his new partner, Ed Lanigan, the risinz young boss, and will get the nomi- nations for patronage offices all right, but there will be lots of hot journals and some breakdowns. The Junta people are expecting a merry row to-night at the meeting of the cam- paign committee, when an effort to adopt a plan and fix a time for the Junta munici- pal convention will be made. It is gener- ally agreed that the convention will be called for either the 13th or 14th inst. The Junta does not believe in primary elections or in meetings of the general committee. Itistoo ticklish a thing for the bosses to let control out of their hands for a few hours. The convention will be composed of the general committee of 450, to which 2 number of delegatesat large will be added. The naming of these delegates at large involves power in the convention, and as the Junta istorn up into bitter factions the naming of these additional delegates is a cause of trouble. The campaign committee of twenty will decide everything about the plan of the convention. Boss McNab wants 200 at large added. Rainey and Lanigan want 100. Another faction in the committee, some times called the ‘anarchists’ because they will not be controlled by either Mc- Nab or Rainey, want 150 appointed. Rainey and Lanigan, though controlling a majority of the General Committee, have but four votes in the campaign com- mittee—Joseph P. Hayes, Captain Fitz- patrick, J. N. Mueh and Thomas Haskins. McNab has himself, Chairman Sullivan, M. C. Hassett, J. F. Bmler, P. J. Harney, A. A. Watkins, George T. Marye and T. Donovan. Sam Braunhart has been in- duced to leave the *‘anarchists” and sup- Nab nine votes as the measure of dic- tatorial power he and Chairman Sullivan can wield. The seven independents are Secretary John F. McGovern, W. J. Gavi- gan, M. Tierney, Peter Quinn, J. O'Don- nell, K. L. Mann aond George Love. No faction has a majority and the constitu- tion requires fourteen affirmative votes “to institute any nominating conven- tion,” There is thus a probability that the ‘‘anarchists” will compel a com- promise on their own plan to add 150 to the 450. McNab some time ago wanted the dele- gates at large named by the whole com- mittee that he might dictate a majority of them, but now he has been forced to con- cede to each member of the committee his pro rata share of the appointments. The constitution prohibits any Federal, State or municipal employe from sitting as a member of a nominating convention, and there are about seventy such inelig- ible members in the general committee. Such members are to name their substi- tutes themselves. McNab and Sullivan want these individual appointments sub- ject to confirmation by the campaign committee and there may be a row over that. Out of it all will come an appointed con- vention, in which Sam Rainey will get about what he wants, civing the other factions some of the offices that there is neothing in for him. i Rt MAGUIRE’S OWN MEETING. Mass-Meetings at All County Seats on the 12th Inst. Congressman James G. Maguire will open his Congressional campaign in the Fourth District at a mass-meeting to be held at Metropolitan Hall next Saturday evening, at which Mr. Maguire will be the principal speaker. 3 z The State Democratic campaign of the interior will be opened on the night of the 12th inst. with mass-meetings to be held every county seat in the State and pos- sibly at some other places. The speakers’ committee met at the State headquarters last night and considered the assignment of speakers for the 12th inst. WAS TWICE BALKED. W. T. Guess, a Colored Man, Arrested on Charges of Attempted Crimi- nal Assault, Two charges of attempted criminal as- sault were booked at the City Prison last night against W.T. Guess, a young col- ored man. About ten days ago he called at the room of Mrs. Edna Wallacs, 15} Turk street, a manicure artist, pretending he had a note for her. While she was adjusting her spectacles he grabbed her by the throat and threatened to kill her if she made a noise. He attempted to assault her, but she fought with him and finally succeeded in getting away from him. She ran screaming downstiairs and Guess made his escape. - Two days ago he returned to the house and made an attempt to assault Minnie Morgan, who occupies 8 room adjoining Mrs., Wallace’s. Mrs. Wallace heard her screams and ran to her assistance. The police were notified, and last night while the two women were with Detective Ben Bohen on Market street they saw Guess, and Bohen arrested him. ————————— Held at Los Angeles.

A FINISH AND A DRAW Agnew Whipped Akers in a Sharp and Spirited Contest. PEPPERS A HOT-STUFF MAN. Ste'zner Was Dazed in the Seventh Round, but His Opponent Was Too Weak to Knock Him Out. The interest in sports pugilistic is evi- dently great, judging from the large gath- ering of peovle who witnessed the enter- tainment of the Colma Athletic Club last evening at the Grove-street Theater. Last Friday evening the Occidental Club gave a fistic entertainment which was wit- nessed by 5000 people of divers classes of society. Captain Wittman stopped the first bout of the evening in the second round. It was to be a four-round bout between Gus Longreen, a Swede, and Jack Hall of this City. The Swede was game, but his knowledge of the art of self-defense was very meager, and to save him from being cut to pieces the captain ordered the bout stopped. Thesecond contest was a ten-round bout between Billy Akers of this City and Lon Agunew of St. Louis. The men weighed in at 140 pounds. Agnew is quite a clever fellow and impressed the knowing ones as being a top notch of the class he repre- sents. He fought in a very cool and de- liberate manner and outgeneraled his opnonent in all points of the game. The eighth round between Stelzner and Peppers was tolerably interesting. Con- siderable wild slogging was induiged in, vet Peppers, who was handicapped fifteen pounds in weight, made a verv good bat- tie and would certainly have whipped his ovoponent in the seventh round, when the latter was traveling on queer street from the eff. cts of aright-hand punch on the jaw, had he possessed the necessary strength to administer a knock-out blow. The fights are given in rounds as follows: Akers and Agnew: First round—Akers, although a much smalier man than his opponent. had all the best of the round, forcing the pace and hitting Agnew quite frequently with lett and right in the face. Second round—Agnew opened by planting two heavy rights on Akers’ jaw, but the latter warmed Agnew’s neck with™ two heavy swing- ing rights immediately following. The round was give and take unfil Agnew caught Akers on the point ot the jaw aud brougat him to his knees. Akers was up quickly, but re- mained in a dazed condition until the end of the round. Agnew was fresh when the round ended. Third round—Agnew had all the best of it, but he was unable to land on Akers’ jaw be- cause of the clever ducking of the latter. It looked very mueh like Agnew’s fight, as Akers poor condition commenced to tell on him. Fourth round—Akers’ blows were very weak and his mouth was bleeding freely from the smashes he had received. Agnew was cer- tainly holding a strong lead and fighting coolly and determinedly. Fifth round—This settled Akers’ hash. Ag- new timed his game well, and after delivering to his opponent six straight lefi-hand blows in the face and mouth Akers dropped to the floor & whipped man. Akers was far from being in condition for a hard fignt, but he battled gamely and received quite an ovation when he retired from the ring. Henry Peppers of Los Angeles, weight 162 pounds, and Jack Stelzner of Chicago, 170 pounds, fought an eight-round con- test. Spider Kelly was behind Peppers and Jimmy Carrol! squired Stelzner. The betting was $10 to $8 in favor of Stelzner. The referee selected was Joe Choynski, and he received great applause when he made his appearance in the ring. The master of ceremonies, Billy Jordan, said that the contest was to be eight rounds, with the privilege of one or two extra rounds if occasion required it. First round—The game was give and take, but Peppers caught Stelzner one or two left swings on the neck which staggered the Chi- cago man. Stelzner came up with a rush near the end of the round and kept Peppers back by & good tight uppercut on the chin, Second round—Peppers played for Stelzner 1o lead, with the object of crossing him with his right, but Stelzner was up to snuff and re- mained off and allowed Peppers to do the leading. Some wild swings were indulged in by both men, and Stelzner received a_hearty cheer because of Ais clever ducking. Peppers was still waiting for a cross. Third round—Stelzner got in a good right in Peppers’ stomach, and the latter showed signs of distress for a second. He finally dashed at Stelzner, and, swinging wild, he missed three smashes at Stelzner's head. There was con- siderable dancing and_ fiddling in this round with few good blows landing. Honors were about evenly divided. : Fourth round—Peppers feinted with the left and landed a right swing on Stelzner's jaw. Then some more fiddling and dancing result- ed.and finally Stelzner landed a tht swing on Peppers’ breast. Peppers caught Stelzner a bad smash in the stomach as the Chicago pu- gilist tried to reach Peppers’ jaw with a left swing. Stelzoer landed two good rights in Peppers’ face just before the round ended. Fifth round—Lots of fancy work indulged in at long range before a biow was struck. Stelzuer was first to land a hard right smash on Peppers’ jaw, then s hot mix up tollowed. Peppers _dropped Stelzner to the floor in a sharp rally witn a right on the jaw, and when Stelzner came too he charged at Peppers and knocked him d,wn with a right in the mouth. It was give and take to the finish, both fighters being well tired when the gong sounded. Sixth round—The round was tame. The pugilists had bellows to mend and remained off at good range until the sound for corners came. Seventh round—Stelzner came up fresh and banged Peppers irequently, but the latter caught Stelzuer a hard right swing on the pointof the chin and dszed him. Peppers Wwas 100 weak to knock S:elzner out when the latter was all but gone. Stelzner finally came o his senses and warded off his opgonent until the gong sounded the finish. This was the most exciting bout of the evening. The eighth and last found was tame in com- parison to the rounds that preceded it. The pugilists fiddled around each other without striking a blow until a minute before the gong sounded, when Stelzner landed a right swing on Peppers’ forehead. The referee announced the contest a draw, and the big crowd dispersed, appar- entiy well satisfied with the evening’s en- tertainment. ¥ 25 Among the interested spectators were Detective I. W. Lees, Chief Crowley and two ladies, who said thg were delighted with the'sports of fisticu: —_——— GREEN AND TRACY. Excellent Reason for Bellef That They WIll Come Together in This City Soon. *Young Mitchell” is jubilant, for he has at last managed to match two men who he believes will put up a rattling good con- test. These twomen are Tommy Tracy and George Green, who are deemed to be very evenly matched men by the sporting profession. At least there is excellent reason for be- lief that the new Occidental Club will match the two men. Yesterday Manager Hopkins sent a telegram from Chicago stating that Tracy would start for this City as soon as a ticket was sent him. Green is perfectly willing to sign articles, William Dailey said last evening that arrangements for Tracy’s transportation would be made at once. LUS ANGELE LAKE LINE, Business Men Have Several Routes Under Consideration. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Sept. 2.—There is a settled conviction among the business men of this city that the Salt Lake-Los Angeles railroad project is not only feasi- ble but an exceedingly important one. The committee of the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Association has several routes under consideration. Bishop Tay- lor is supplying the information. If this line is built to a connection with the Southern California railway system at Barstow it will be 440 miles long. ~ If built to a connection with the Atlantic and Pa- cific Raiiway at Ludlow it will be 400 miles in length. If built to a connection with the Nevada Southern at Manvel it will be 315 miles long. Any of these con- nections would give access to Southern California. The distance to Los Angeles from Salt Lake by the several routes would be:' Via Manvel, 846 miles; via Morongo, 821 miles; via Ludlow, 817 miles; via Bar- stow, 803 miles. T.e distance irom Salt Lake to Los Angeles by the existing routes over the Central Pacific Railway via Og- den, Sacramento and Lathrop is 1225 miles, so the saving in distance by the new line would be about 400 miles. BES The Parker Will Contest. SAN JOSE, CarL., Sept. 2—Judge Rey- nolds to-day denied the motion for a con- tinuance in the contest of the will of George H. Parker, deceased, and the work of selecting a jury wascommenced. It was stipulateda in court that the depositions of Clayton Eicha, E. U.
