The exercises indulged in by CON. RU SeLL Men Who Are Prominent in the Councils of Los Angeles Labor Unions. the men in line. The showing was in the nature of an eye-opener to those who are prone to sneer at and belittle organized labor in Los Angeles. The men were neatly' and in many cases elegantly dressed in costumes befitting their several callings. Many divisions carried emblems or implements of their trade, appropri- ately draped in the National colors. The numerous banners were among the finest ever seen in this city. Asit wasnot a legal holiday business houses were not generally closed, but em- ployes were allowed the freedom of the day in most cases to participate in the parade and exercises. In spite of the heat the streets were lined with spectators be- fore the nhour set for the procession to move, and the sturdy appearance of the various organizations was heartily appre- ciated and applauded. ‘The men marched in open order, so it took considerable time for the thousands in line to "pass a given point. The American flag was much in evidence, and inspired enthusiasm. The line of march was from Temple and New High to Broadway, down Broad- way to Fifth, thence to Spring, up Spring to Temple block, around Temple block to Main and down Main to Sixth, where the marchers disbanded. . At the head of the first division was the Seventh Regiment military band, four mounted policemen, | Marshal A. M. Green and Grand Marshal’s Aides E. R. Holman, A. M. Sommer, E. E. Beahn, J. E. Wise, A, Stewart and J. J Dougherty. The marshal of the first division was Captain F. B. Colver, and his aides were Vic Trace, £. J. Mack and Frank Cheney.

Ail wore white trousers, white shirts and straw hats, The cigar-makers made a fine appearance in suits of black, The Cooks and the Hotel and Restaurant Employes’ Alliance made a good showing. ollowing them came the American Railway Union. The representation of the great order was strong. At the head of the column was a banner, vn one side | of which was a life-size portrait of Engene V. Debs and the words *“A. R. U. on deck, 243,000 strong.” Afterihe American Rail~ way Union came the Recail Clerks' Asso- ciation and the Butchers’ Protective Asso- ciation.

All business houses were closed, and there were cycling and athletic sport at the park. Five thousand men marched this evening to a public stand, where Governor Franklin and Mayor Monihon addressed the largest crowd ever assembled in this city. DROWNED AT PORTLAND, Fate of a Brother of the Cor- pellos, Hamburg and Berlin Bankers. A Suicide’s Identity Learned Months After He Sought Death in ths Willamette. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. .—On June 26 the decomposed body of a man was found floating in the Willamette River near this city. An inquest was held; nobody was able to identify the deceased and the re- mains were intered in the paupers’ field. A few pencil notes in a memorandum book established the fact that he was a German. The German Consul here, Carl von Wintzingerode, was informed of this and reported the circumstances to the Im- perial Government. The Consul has just received a letter an- nouncing that the unknown deaa wasa brother of the Corpellos, the great bankers of Hamburg and Berlin. The letter was from one of the Corpello brothers and re- quested the Consul to examine into the case and report the circumstances of the death. Itis intimated that the body will be removed to Hamburg and given a rest- ing—glnu in the tomb of the ancestors of the deceased. This identification was made from the memorandum book which had beeu for- Wwardeda to Germany, together with the Consul’s report of the death. The pencil | writing therein was recognized by the Corpellos as that of their brother, Fur- ther, they were led to examine the book beeause their brother had advised them of his intention to commit suicide, The deceased was well educated and was sent to this country with ample means, but he was a roystering Bohemian, gener- ous to a fault, and squandered his fortune in a few years.. ————— Petaluma Marksmen Win.

UGNION DEPOT FUNDS No Action to Be Taken Until All Contracts Are Filed at the Capitol. BRAVE OFFICERS REWARDED. Will B: Recompensed for Removing Desperadoes — The Coyote Scalp Inquiry. SACRAMENTO, Car, Sept. 7. — The State Board of Examiners met to-day pur- suant to-law to investigate the merits of all claims against the State for which there was no existing appropriation. Such as in its judgment possessed.merit were recommended to the attention of the coming session of the Legislature, while others were rejected in tota. The first subject called to the attention of the board was the matters ot claims for the erection of the Union depotin San Francisco, and it was ugreed that the Board of Harbor Commissioners shonld be noufied that until all awarded contracts had been filed with the Board of Exam- iners no claims would be allowed, The complaints against the Yountvite Veterans’ Home were referred to Secre- tary of State Brown for investigation. The subject of employes of the Legis- lature cropped up. 3Secretary of State Brown said the Legislature took the con- trol of the capitol out of his hands. It even laid off his elevator man and em- vloyed one of its own. It hed engaged six porters in addition to his full force, and he would jump at the chance to con- tract to run the building for one-quarter what it cost during the former session. The matter of contingent expenses was gone into, and it was found that in 1880, for a 100-day session, the amountexpended was $16,000; in 1851, §19,000, while the later sessions had run the amount up to from $45,900 to $60,000. The Secretary of State desired to be in- formed as to how the State reports could be limited, as in the past thousands of books had been printed and never used. It was decided to refer the matter for an opinion to the Attorney-General, and Sec- retary Markley was instructed to get a st of the number of volumes of reports pub- lished each year for the past five years, unddil possible ascertain how many were used. The claim of the estate of A. J. Bogard, who killed Bandit Browning and was in turnk lled by “Jack’’ Brady in the Wheat- land hold-up, was recommended, as was also the claim of Earl Daggett, who killed Dan McCall at the hold-up at Goshen, and ‘W. N. Hendricks, who killed John Keener wh he was attempting 10 rob a stage coach at Polls station, Ualaveras Countv. Each of these claims was for $300. They will have to go before the Legislature. All the military claims for the 1894 strike period were recommended. The coyote-scalp investigation was post- poned for two weeks, 2t which time a number of witnesses will be subpenaed | and sworn and efforts made to arrive at the bottom of the fraudulent claims, as charged by the Kern County Grand Jury. The old-time claim of Jose Ramon Picos for organizing the First California Na- tional Cavalry during the war came up. The claim was for $8111 15. It was re- ferred to Secretary Brown, who will look into the facts of the case. Prison Director Robert Devlin, on the part of the commission, requested to be allowed a monthly deficiency for San Quentin for three months, until the sugar-bag appropriation became available, The Attorney-General favored the propo- sition and the matter will probably re- ceive fayorable consideration. The subject of the salary of R. I. Thomas, commonly dubbed “Dick,” sec- retary of the Debris Commission, in the sum of $250, provoked a spirited argu- ment, Devlin contending that it was not the lpm‘pma of the Legislature to give debris people any salary until a con- tingency arose. *‘Is the act used for promoting private interests or for protecting public water- ways?”’ inquired Fitzgerald. ‘‘Both may be taken into consideration,” replied Devlin. “These dams do the val- ley people no good, and if they fail they create a great deal of danger.’” The board decided that Thomas was en- titled to his salary since the passage of the United States appropriation. Theexpenses of the funeral of Lieuten- ant-Governor Millard and General Di- mond received recommendations, and the claim of Dennis Jordan for building the Folsom State Prison was taken up. Fifz. gerald said: “This claim was passed upon by the board. I see no use in considering it again. Idon’t know that we have a right to cut down the claim, thus rescinding the action of the former board. The claim was allowed for $79,000 by the Legislature. Governor Budd vetoed it because it was too much. 1 decline to consider the mat- ter, because it has been adjudicated.” Attorney Spelling said that Jordan had fought the claims through five Legisla- tures. The claim has been passed upon favorably by each, but there was some flaw in each case to defeat it. The pill ne\:ier has been vetoed, but always pock- eted. In view of the fact that the Legislature had passed bills for as high as $79,000 the board should give at least $63,000, the amount computed by Secretary Markley. Jordan was a man of moderate fortune and lost every cent he had in the venture. Jordan claimed that animosity on the part of certain architects had ruined him, Among the requisitions served on him was one for 1,000,000 bricks when there were not 10,000 bricks used in the whole build- ing. g‘hlunld said he was not informed on both sides of the question and_was not in a position to act. Buad and Brown de- cided they would recommend the appro- priation for $63,000. Secretary Brown asked for a deficiency of $5000 for repairs and improvements to the Capitol building, to consist of furniture for some of the offices. It was allowed. Joseph Bteffens appeared asking for per- mission to build a house for the resident ghylichn at Stockton, to cost $7000. rown and Budd refused to give a de- cision and said they would consider the matter a week from to-day. Both were opposed to tbe scheme. The board of trustees had already let the contract. Budd, upon- hearing it, asked Steffens it he wanted to pay for the building him- self. Asa result Steffens appeared before the board for the necessary permit. Santa Cruz’s Bond Litigation. SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Sept. 7.—There was filed to-day in the United States Cir- cuit Court the answer of the city of Santa Cruzin the case of the refunding water P bond suit. The amount sued for is nearly 360, The city’s attorneys have filed six separate delenses, the answer being most exhaustive. The main point is that no special notice of the election authoriz- ing the 1ssuance of the bonds was pub- lished, although the ordinauce for the election was printed. —————— DISASTER NEAR TULARE. Thomas Salter's Mistake in Discharging a Gun Near Giant Powder Causes His Déath. TULARE, Car, Sept. 7.— Thomas Salter, an Enelishman 40 years of age, was instantly killed last night on the Stanage ranch, fourteen miles southeast of Tulare. The ranch is the property of the'Farm- ers’‘Union Milling Company and was in charge of John F. Allen. Allen, whois a miner as well as rancher, bad seventy-five pounds of giant powder stored in the cellar. Allen had gone to the White River mines, leaving Salter in charge of the ranch. He returned last mght at 9 o’clock and found his honse, a commo- dious six-room cottage, almost completely wrecked. Tarning to the cellar, a dug- out twenty feet from the house, he stum- bled over the body of Salter. The cellar and contents were demolisned and wreck- age was strewn about in all directions. Salter had declared to neighbors that he was “‘going to kill that skunk that was making trouble for the old hen that was sitting in the cellar near the boxes of lezam powder.” It is the accepted theory that he took his gun and either went into the cellar or upon the steps and.fired at the skunk, the concussion causing the ex- plosion. The gun, a muzzle-loader, was found to-day with the stock broken off and but one barrel loaded. e PASSED AWAY AT BELLEVUE. Death of Nelson Wescoatt, Mining Expert, Law - Maker and Philan- thropist. SANTA ROSA, Car., Sept. 7.—Nelson Wescoatt, the weil-known mining expert, died this morning at the residence of his son, John Wescoatt, near Bellevue. ‘Wescoatt was a native of Ohio, aged 75 years, and came to this State in 1853, In 1862 he went to Virginia City, where he made and lost several fortunes. He was at one time a State Senatorin Nevada, and was the author of some of the mining laws now on the statute-books of that State. He was considered an authority on mining topics, and his advice was often sought by the most prominent min- ing men of the West. Of a warm-hearted and generous nature, he assisted his Iriends whenever asked, and he gave away more money than it falls to the lot of the average man to possess in a lifetime. He possessed valuable mining property in Candelaria, Nev., at the time of his death. He leaves surviving three brothers and a N WFKL DT SN B The Paper Chase to Give Way to a Hunt for a Real Kangaroo. From Australian Was Imported the Quarry That Society Will Pursue. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, Sept. 7.—England has her fox hunts, Southern California her coyote hunts, and San Rafael hitherto her paper chases, but hereafter she will lead the world with nothing more or less than a kangaroo hunt. A young kangaroc has been secured by the Hotel Rafael man- agement from Australia. This will be ex- hibited in a few days at the California Hotel, in San Francisco, and later will be placed in a small corral pending the exeit- ing events to transpire on its liberation. Ail of the experienced riders who have participated in the paper chases will take stations near the Hotel Rafael, the kan- garoo will be turned loose and will be pur- sued across country until recaptured. A pack of twenty-five English hounds is be- ‘ing trained for the hunt, which will occar some time during the latter part of September. The kangaroo is noted for its fleetness and 1ts high jumping. The chances are that there will be but few riders in at the brush. The fact that kangaroos are not a drug on the market will make the windup a difficult affair, as care must be taken not to harm the animal. It has been sug- gested that each rider be equipped with a lariat, and it is stated that many have al- ready acted on this suggestion and have provided themselves with the light -yet exceedingly strong hair woven ropes. The same rules governing the fox hunts in England will obtain, and the first lady in at the “brush” will receive—not the brush, because kangaroos unfortunately do not possess such an ornament—some suitable prize as a souvenir of her skill. e MOURNING AT STANFORD. News of the Death of Adam H. Jack Sadly Received by the University Students. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Sept. 7.—Stanford students, and Stanford ath- letes especially, are shocked to learn that the Adam A. Jack, who fell dead on a street in San Francisco lately, was the promising mile walker of this university, Jack entered Stanford with the class of ’99 and took up the study of physiology as his major, in pursuance of his intention to become a physician. He had received a thorough preparatory training in a pri- vate school of Truro, Nova Scotia, of which city he was u resident before matriculat- ing here. He was a conscientious worker with his studies and a favorite with his professors and classmates. ‘When the athletic enthusiasm was on last spring Jack went into regular train- ing with a vigor seidom seen in a first-year man. He tried for the mile walk and de- veloped both speed and endurance. So great was the faith of the Stanford track captain in his abiiity that he was made a member of the Varsity track team, and it was confidently dicted that Mervin alone of the Berkeley representatives in his event would beat him. Such proved to be the case in the intercollegiate match Wwhen Mervin had hard work to beat him. The Berkeley walker complimented Juck very highly and Coffin, the great coast walker and athletic authority at that time, said Jack was destined to become one of the fastest men in the country. He was but 23 years old at his death and a very large, strongly built fellow. The class of '99 will adopt resolutions of regret. e ey g A Search for a Portland Swindler. PORTLAND, Og., Sept. 7.—Mrs. Mary A. Patterson of Ogden, Utah, has applied to the police authorities here for assistance in tracing her husband, J. D. Patterson, a well-known _insurance agent, who disap- peared from Portland on tgozfi of May last after swindling a large number of people ona fake insurance scheme. Patterson left a letter saying his purpose was to kill him- self by taking morphine and leaping into the river. No trace of his body has been found, and it is believed now as then that he did not commit suicide. SIS enie S Tragedy Near Marysville, MARYSVILLE, Cawn, Sept. 7.—Clyde Blodgett, 22 years old, committed suicide ata farm thirteen miles north ot town this morning, shooting himself in the bead with a revolver.

Without Effort ‘She Steps Off the First Heat in a Pacing " Race in 2:13 AUDITOR TAKES A PURSE. Blue Bel's Enriches Her Backers by Securing a Place at Long 3 Odds. SACRAMENTO, CAL., Sept. 7.—While the programme at the track to-day did not call out any of the top-notchers of the light-harness brigade, the large crowd in attendance saw some splendid sport, in- cluding several close and exciting finishes. In the 2:27 pace the best *'green one” of the year was uncovered. Lena N, a strap- ping big daughter of Sidney (2:193%), un- incumbered by hobbles ér other racing paraphernalia, with a gait that was sim- ply perfection, stepped off the first heat in 2:13 with no apparent effort—a wonderful performance. The mare, which is owned by C. F. Northrup, a prominent merchant of Petaluma, is by Sydney from Helen Benton, by General Benton. Her gran- dam, Nettie George, said to be the dam of Arab (2:15), was a thoroughbred racer years ago by Wesley George, as were all of her maternal ancestors back to the fourteenth dam. Wilfred Page purchased the pacer from her breeder, Josiah White of Lakeville, for $3%0, and in turn sold her to Mr. North:up for the sum of $80. Her present owner offered her for sale for $400 previous to the first heat, and it is rumored that she will shortly become a member of Winship & Keating’s string. Outside of this brilliant performance tbe racing was marked by nothing of the sensational order. A cooling breeze sprang up during the day and was hailed with delight by all. Five books in the big ring and two field books enjoyed liberal pat- ronage. Auditor captured the2:30 trot in straight heats, making a mark of 2:1934, and Ellert, a handsome bay gelding, by Stamboul, and owned by Millionaire Alvinza Hay- ward, won two of the dashesin the 2:35 trot and took a record of 2:19. About the best thing of the day was Blue Bells, which finished second in one heatto Lena N, with odds cf 20 to 1 about her for the place and quietly played by a few knowing ones. Eight responded to the tap of the bell for the 2:30 trot. In the pools the field, consisting of Peter Jackson, Miilie L, Billups, Leader, Goldy and Silver Ring, sold for $10, with Auditor bringing $3 and Fannie C $3. Goldy and Fannie C were leading the others atthe half, with Au- ditor inck in the rear. Goldy broke | shortly afier, and Peter Jackson was the | first into the homestretch. Coming on from fourth position, Auditor gamely sirode to the front and_ took the heat by nearly two lengths from Fanny C in 2:203{. There was no material change in the ber- ting before the second heat. It proved easy game for Auditor, who won ii and the heat following off the reel. Fanny C was second and Peter Jackson third i each of the miles trotted. There were six startersin the 2:35 trot, decided under the new system of heat dashes, each heat being considered a race, Wow, driven by Ed Lafferty, the popular La Siesta farm reinsman,was backed down by her party from 2's to 3 to 5 favoritism to pull off the first heat. Casey, behind Ellert. managed to get the pole from Cap- tain Harris turning down the back stretch, being shortly joined by Wow. The pair had a hot duel to the wire, but the Stam- boul horse possessed the most speed and headed Wow out three lengths, in 2:19, Ellert, now a hot 3 to 5 chance, took the second heat easily, although Alla, driven by James Dustin, came with a big rush at the end, on the strength of whick she was well played to down Ellert in the heat fol- lowing. Thisshe did. A break after pass- ing the half pole inthe third heat cost El- leri & length or so, but he caught quickly and hit the stretch for home on equal terms with Alla. In ahard-fought contest to the stand, Dustin managed to nip the heat at the tape by a neck with the Palo Alto stock farm mare. According to the rules, there being but two horses eligible to start in the fourth heat, which requires three or more, that heat was declared off, and the society was aheaa just §200. There certainly was no immediate danger of any of the pencilers having a “Dutch™ on the lass event, the 2:27 pace, also heat dashes, for the odds were boile down to the marrow. Bastina and Mollie Nurse held first honors in the betting, each being quoted at twos. Lena N, driven by F. Holbrook, wiggled around in 2:13 with 3 to 1 against her, and the other drivers knew they had struck a snag. She also waltzed off the other two heats in pleasing fashion in 2:163 and 2:20 and under the rules was not allowed 1o com- pete in_the fourth, or consolation heat. Andy McDowell made his first_appear- ance at the meeting behind Blue Belm The consolation heat was the hottest contested affair of the day. A furlong from the wire the five siarters were on nearly eyual terms, all driving furiously, Butcher Boy, driven by Dan Misner, had the most speed and glssed the finishing ost a length before Bastina. Inthe third eat Olark, behind Mollie Nurse, did some bad pilotin: at the first turn, colliding with Butcher Boy’s bike. Misner, driver of the latter horse, lodged a protest with the judges and Mollie was ruied out. Trotting, 2:30 class, 8 in 5. Purse, $800.

BARRETT, President National Spiritualistic Association, SPIRITUALISTS” BECNIH Final Meeting of the State As- sociation in Golden Gate Hall. What It Is Claimed That Organiza- tion Has Done for the Order. A Funeral. The State Spiritualists’ Association met in Golden Gate Hall Sunday morning in informal session. A large audience was present. President Thomas G. New- man presided, and on the platform -were Rev. H. P. Haworth, Mrs. Hendee-Rogers, Hattie D. Wrenn, Mrs. F. A. Logan, Mrs. Maxwell-Colby, Mrs. Fannie Place and Mrs. G. W. Shriner. The exercises began with a fine violin solo by Professor R. D. Young, accom- panied by Mme. E. Young, which was fol- lowed by a poetic invocation by Mrs. Hen- dee-Rogers. State President Newman introduced Hon. Harrison D. Barrett of Washington, D. C., president of the National Associa- tiou of spiritualists. He said that formerly there had seemed to be no placein the world for Spiritualism, but that now, since organization, all that was changed and spiritualism has a place and an influence in the world—is a reeognized factor in the great moral work of civilization. He held that the God of Spiritualism was that all- pervading power which creates, evolves and moves all things. Thomas G. Nowman followed and likened spiritualism in California and the Nation, previous to organization, to Sher- idan’s army, and President Barrett's trip through the States to Sheridan’s famous ride, the result in both cases being the same — confusion and disorder were changed to order and system. Rev. H, P. Haworth's address was full of good points and evoked considerable enthusiasm among his listeners, At the afternoon session Mrs. Chandler led the audience in singing ‘“Nearer My God to Thee,” after which N. F. Ravlin spoke on "The Evolution of Esoteric Spiritualism,” and said that by exoteric systems one might turn out all sorts of thinkers, professors, etc., withont once touching the spiritual nature. He was vehement in his defense of woman. Mrs. Emma Sherwood of Chicago sang *The Poor Man's Sheal.” Professor W. J. Colville, a speaker well known to San Francisco spiritualists, spoke upon the same subject as did Mr, Ravlin. 3 A violin solo was then given by Pro- fessor E. A, Whitelaw of Boston, accom- panied by Mrs, Geraldine Morris. The evening session of the association was attended by a crowd that filled Golden Gate Hall. The meéeting was opened by the playing of the President Barrett march {y Young’s Orchestra. Mr. Bar- rett recited *'The Song of the Mystic,”’ by . Father Ryan, the poet priest of the South, and proceeded with his address. “Spiritualism,” he said, ‘‘comes with a message of iove and an outstretched hand to all classes, from the lowest pariah of society to the highest in the land—shuns none, but is ready to help all up to a higher manhood or womanhood—is ready to help all who have lost the raiment of purity to win new garments and the crown of duty well performed.” ' An_address was given by Mrs. Eliza- beth Watson, who for a long time prior to 1889 was lecturer for the Progressive Spir- itualisis’ Society. Mis. Watson’s address was short but full of poetic feeling, and was frequently interrupted with applause. After some pleasing musical, numbers had been given Edward K. Earle, the test medium, gave a series of tests. At the close of Mr. Earle’s tests the meeting ad- | journed. Funeral of M. B. Dodge. The funeral services of M. B. Dodge were held by the.United Spiritualist So- cieties of the City Suuday afternoon at Gotden Gate Hall. The exercises began by a vocal solo, ““Angels, Ever Bright and Fair,” rendered by Mrs. G. R. Tuttle, Mrs. Elizabeth Lowe Watson then offered an invocation and spoke of the life of the deceased as a part of that better life toward whicn the world is moving.
