THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MORA HONORED AT SANTA CRUZ Farewell Reception to the| Retiring Bishop of Monterey. , SOON LEAVES FOR smmf Parishioners Attest Their Regard for the Venerable Prelate. { | | | | | PRAISE HIS NOBLE CAREER. The Good That He Has Done to Cali- torpians Recounted in a Tender Address. { SANTA CRUZ, CaL., Sept. 2L.—The ven- erable Bishop Mora, who has just resigned | the bishopric of Montcrey and Los An-| geles, was the recipient of a farewell recep- tion at the pastorage of the Holy Cros: yesterday, preparatory to his departure to- | morrow for San Francisco and Los An peles, thence on the 19th of October for Barcelona, Spain. | The address on behaif of the parishion- | ers was read by J. H. Leonard, 8 member of the Young Men’s Institute. It wasone of masterly tenderness, and was listened to by Bishop, priest and layman with rapt attention. It recounted the days in the early forties, when the young man left his | Spanish home of luxury to brave the hard life of Western Amercia; how he was| ordained one of the first three priests in | this diocese in 1856; how he had by daily | and hourly taking up the cross and the | thorns won the miter in 1875 and for twenty-three years had been Bishop of this diocese. It dwelt upon his great love for | all children, especially orphans; his keen | foresight and able judgment in placing | Rev. Father McNamee in charge of Holy | Cross Parish, Santa Cruz, wherein during | his service of the past fourteen years such | vast improvements had been made, such as the Holy Cross Church and the Centen- nial Arch. The address closed with the words: “Kind Bishop, farewell. You go from our midst to seek that well-deserved rest which comes to those who entered early | into the vineyard of our Lord and bore the | heat and the toil of the day. Our fare- well is one of sacred memories—memories sanctified by our great religion and our humble Master.” Bishop Mora displayed visible signs of | emotion when he thanked his parishion- | ers. He alluded to the good feeling which had always existed between himself and non-Catholies—not only Protestants but Hebrews—and the kindness and assistance be had receive¢ from them. He spoke of | wili be his share. | bridge was a plank, and Mrs. | Prattville road sixty-five miles from this | the muzzle of a shotg un to his heaa, de- children encamped in the neighborhood, and the fierce warwhoops of the redskins frightened them almost into spasms.

AURORA, O=r., Sept. 21,—Mrs. Mary Dolan, wife of a Portiand merchant, who bas been visiting friends here, met with a fatal accident yesterday. Sheand another woman, accompanied by a gentleman, had been attenaing a dance, and on their way home were obliged to cross a bridge in course of repair. The pathway over the olan was | the first to be taken across by her escort. She was admonished to remain quietly on a certain spot until the other woman was brought over. Instead, Mrs. Dolan moved about, wnen suddenly her foot struck a jackscrew and she was precipitated a dis- tance of forty-eight feet over the partly dismantled bridge. The unforiunate woman gave one scream of despair during her rapid descent to death and after that never uttered a cry. When assistance reached her she was dead. Her body was sent to Postland. A i Highway Iobbery Near Chico. CHICO, CaL., Sept. 2L.—T. E. Koon, a fruit peddler, was on Saturday afternoon robbed of $75 by a highwayman on the | city. Koon wasreturning from a peddling trip iu the mwountains. When near what is known as the Big Summit a man ap- proached him and asked for a ride. The peddler allowed the stranger to take a seat in his wagon, when the man placed manding money. Koon, taken by sur- prise, surrendered the money he had, about $75. The robber then alighted from | he wagon, still covering Koon with nis | gun, and made the pedaler drive down the | road. Then the robber disappeared in the | brush. | OHRIG FEAT AT SUMMIT Frank Rodriguez Crosses Cascade | _ Canyon on the Guard Rail of a Bridge. Wins $300 by Risking His Life cn a Snow-Toppid Timbzr Three | Incbes Wide. | SUMMIT, Car., Sept. 2L—Frank Rod- | rigues, a daring young Portuguese, this morning successfully walked across the 3-inch gunard rail, 400 feet from terra firma, on the bridge spanning Lower C cade Canyon, and won a wager of $300. He isemployed as a sectionhand at Cas- | cade, and by his daring walk of less than | two minutes he realized more money than he could earn on the railroad in six months. Harry Denton, a young gam- | bler, who doubted Rodrigunes’ ability to | walk the rail, is out$300, but is not erying. “Rodrigues is welcome to every cent of |it. Any man who can muster the nerve | 10 cross that rail as did Rodrigues, and | | under the same conditions, is welcome to | E all my money,"” said Denton after the feat had been accomplished. | Father McNamee as a father speaks of his loved son. He pointed with pride to the pastor’s work and closed with a benedie- tion upon the parishioners assembled todo him such honor. Drief speeches landatory of the Bishop and Father McNamee were made by Lieu- tenant-Governor Jeter, Senator Burke, Superior Judge Logan and C. B. Younger. Father McNamee made a brief address, | supvlemented by a few words from Father | Dowd, and thus closed the faithful public | life of Bishop Mora in Santa Cruz. | DEL MONTE'S DESPISED VISITOR. One of the Mephitis Mephitica Tribe Slain on the Grounds, DEL MONTE, CaL., Sept. 2L.—The sun shone brightly on this eventful morning at Del Monte, and the opening notes of the morning concert by Huber’s orchestra wooed the belated breakfasters from their meel io the pleasant piazza. The news gent was busy arranging his wares in tempting positions upon his stand in the corner of the porch. Suddenly the tip of his nose elevated itself and at the same instunt the noses of the musicians under- went a change, and they gazed round amezed while the plaintive air they were rendering was suffered to drag a trifle too perceptibly, A man who was seated at the opposite end of the piazza was readig a New York paper. He dropped it, sniffed disgustedly and went indoors. a knot of ladies walked threugh the office gayly talking, but upon opening the door the talk ceased instantly, and bandker- chiefs, books and anything else available went quickly to their noses, and they turned immediately back into the office. Soon the porch was deserted save by the devoted orchestrians, whose melody grew more plaintive till finally it ceased in one long, despairing wail, ana_they too went indoors to spend an intermission in taking breath. Finally, Frank Casserly, equipped with his inevitable pipe in full biast, opened the door, passed out through tbedporch and on into the grounds unscathed, but another man trying to follow his example turned back from the door vanquished. Just as Professer Huber and his coworkers were about to return to a voluntary mar- tyrdom a shot rang onut upon the sunlit air, and then a Chinaman’s shrill shout, “You shootee him heap good,” and all that remained of a full-grown polecat was tenderly conveyed from the driveway in iront of the hotel to its last long sleep in the all-embracing arms of mother earth. The tragedy was ended and Del Mante resumed its smile. As to the animal: “Requies(pole)cat in pace.” LEIERT AT WEDDED AT SANTA CRUZ. Charles Hammer and Miss Marian Good- win Joined for Life. SANTA CRUZ, Can, Sept. 21.—Miss Marian Goodwin of Watsonville and Charles Hammer of Santa Cruz were united in marriage at the Pope House at noon to-day by Rev. C. O. Tillotson of Calvary Episcopal Church. By reason of the strong popularity of bride and groom, both from representative families of local society, unusual interest attached to the ceremony. The full Episcopal service was intoned and the intermezzo from ‘“‘Caval- leria Rusticana’ and the ‘‘Angels’ Sere- nade” were played during the ceremony. The floral decorations were superb and the gifts numerous and costly. Among the guests were: Miss Evelyn Pope, Mrs. Anna Pope, Misses Amy and Edith D:ck of San Francisco, E. Hammer, Mr. and Mrs. ¥. A. Hibn, Miss Tessie and Agnes Hihn, Richard and Ralph Thomp- son, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Peakes of Stock- ton, Dr. B. Piant and Mrs. Marie Gerard.

SANTA ROSA, CaL., Sept. 2L.—A band of Indians employed in picking hops in the outskirts of tois city succeeded in get- ting hold of several gallons of red wine vesterday, and at once went on the war- path. Five big bucks became crazed with liguor, and, arming themselves with clubs, made an attack upon the whites in the hopfields, There were many women and et e Just then | The trip was made shortly after a heavy { snowfall and the rail was covered wit | snow, on which the sun was at the time | shining, causing it to melt rapidly. | i Ao ‘ EUREKA'S FAIR OPENED. | The Big Pavilion Contains Over a Hundred Booths and Many Minor Displays. | EUREKA, CaL, Sept. 21— Eureka's first Agricultural and Mechanical F\ opened to-night.

WHERE COIN IS WANTED Improvements on tke Public Building at Sacramento Recommended. HOW TO LESSEN EXPENSE. Servants of the People Not Always Diligent in Seeking to Econcmize. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sapt. 2L.—Secre- tary of State Lewis H. Brown has tiled his first biennial report with the Gov- ernor, and it will shortly go to the State Printer. The report is one of the most explicit in aetail that has ever been 1ssued irom the Secretary of State’s oflice. After reciting the duties entailed upon the occupant of the office, the document sets forth that pardons have been granted in nineteen felony cases, 927 felons have been restored to citizenship, purdons were granted in 17 misdemeanor cases, sen- tences of 45 persons commuted, 12 re- prieves of sentences granted, 24 procla- mations offering rewards in marder cases issued, 390 land patents were signed, 1576 notaries and 50 commissioners of deeds appointed, 224 executive appoint- | ments made, 22 bonds approved and 4 proclamations issued. The report gives a full list of articles of incorporation filed, number of certificates issued and atlested, and shows the total receipts of the office since July 1, 1894, to be $46,552 93 for fees and sale of statutes, stationery, etc. In speaking of the Capitol building the Secretary of State says: Notwithstanding the large amount of money expended during the past few years upon the building in repairs and improvements, I find the interior of many of the offices, the roof and the plumbing of the building sedly in want of repairs, and find thatmany uncom- plimentary comments are made by visitors on the condition of the interior of the building. The entire structure should be ventilated, s vhen erected ventilation was entirely ignored. e basement is never iree from the foulest of Many parts therein are as free from light Egyptian Darkness.” There is no fire pro- n end standpipes should be erected reaching 1o the attic for use in case of fire catehing in the dome. The walls surrounding the corridors are sadly in need of whitening and the lavatories are of antiguated plumbing and & menace to the heslth of the inmates of tLe building. During the raius ot two winters the roof has leaked badly in many places, Tequiring over twenty tubs to catch the drippings, and being of copper and extremely susceptible to the heat of the sun it is impossible 1o make 1t rain- Pproot. The report then recites all the improve- ments that have been made during the present administration with the limited funds available. After giving a list of appropriations and expenditures and making certain recom- | mendations relating to the care of the | State archives the report recommends | the introduction of eleciric power to op- erate the pumps, claiming thereby a sav- ing to the State of $2000 annually. The construction of a well is also recommend- ed in order to secare water for irrigating purposes and for use throughout the build- ing. -This, it is estimated, would resuit in a saving of $1800 a year to the State, that amotnt now being expended for water. Tne amending of section 416 of the Psiitical Code relatiug to the fees of the Secretary of State’s office isalso advocated, as is the act relating to the filing of certi- ficates, etc., and after including full es- timates of all the expenditures, ete., the repors closes with the followine: To economize has been our comstant aim. Retrenchment in the State government shonld receive the first eonsideration of every official. He is but & servant of the people and often a dispenser of their money. It due to the peoble of California, and the taxpa ticular, that economy should be ell departments of the State government. One should not be extravagent or careless with Because &n appropriation is made of $100,000 the sum should not be ex- ended, simply because it is available, when a ess amount will answer the purpose for which the appropriation was made. A study should be made how to save and not how iospend. The people should be enlightened in detail where their money is expended, and the ne- cessity for all public expenditures, The State Board of Examiners should not be clerical, but all that the title implies. Much ople, but it is not at present clothed with sufficient power. The board should be the legal body to exam- ine into all State affairs, and by doing away with the worthless but costly expense of hay- ing members of the Legisiature make their viennial tours the State would save thousands of dollars. It is very unsatisfactory to approve claim after claim presented to the board with- out a thorough knowledge of said claims, the cost of the items of supplies in the open mar- ket, quality and quantity furnished, and the labor performed. The State should get value received in all transactions,and the benefit of adoubt when there is ohe. An inventory should be made of all Slate property biene nially, & debit and credit account opened with each institution and department and all prop- perty belonging to the State properly entered. 'he inventory can be made by the proper offi- cials withoui expense and reported to the state Board of Examiners. All pub.ic funds should be kept sacred and intact for the specific purpose for which the appropriation was made, nor shotld any ex- penditure be permitted uor a charge against the State created unless the appropriations for said expenditures are previously made by the ture. The practice of enacting laws re- guiring the payment of public money without the necessary appropriations, thereby necessi- tating payments from other funds, following the custom ‘‘first come, first served,” causin & deficit in the general fund to the loss ane inconvenlence of regular claimants and offi- ciais, and opening the doors to deficiencies, is wrong in principle, injurious to the people in practice and vicious trom a business stand- point. All moneys recelved in behalf of the State, no matter from what source or by what person, should be paid direct to the State ireasury, and contingent and other funds not rovided for by appropriations should be pro- ibited by law. No State money whatever could then_ bé expended without being drawn from the treasury through the regular channel. Itis notsufficient for an official to save what he can to the taxpayers by.cutting down the appropriation for his particuiar office, institu- tion, borrd or commission whenever possible, not using all the -‘pprovrullon if he can avoid | doing so, permitting no deficiency, but he should be equally watchful of other approptia- tons, claims for which pass through his hands. The official who makes no attempt toward economy is not doing his duty to the people, and is deserving of censure. From the condition of things one would be compelled to believe, a5 & resuitof investiga- tions, but little care has been manifested in ‘protecting the interest of the taxpayers. Fre- quently men follow in the footsteps of their Tfldeoenon, keeping in the same old rut, fol- owing ola-time customs, without the thought orcareof improvemeut or the welfare of their constituent:. It is not sufficient that an offi- cial or emglo shonld mechanically earn his salary, but if he will he can more than save his salary and often many times over by proper otion to the welfare of theState. An offi- should have notonly the desire as well as the best of intentions 10 do what is right, but should make it his business 1o go outof his way and if necessary investigste public ex- penditures, gain & pr; nowledge out- side of his office as well as in it of the necessi- ties jor the vastappropriations of State money that are made. He sbould go into details and familiarize himself with the conduct of State insiitutions, and ascertain upon what business lines they are being lucted. The transsc- of “this State are footing up mil- lions of ‘dol!-r; r annum, and its affairs should be condueted upon strictly business principles. CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE. Sundry Bills Considered by fhe Board of Examiners—The Coyote Scalp Cas> Arouses Wrath. SACRAMENTO, Car., Sept. 2L — The State Board of Examiners met this after- noon with all the members present. -After passing the usual routine bills the claim of T. M. Broderick for $151 71, loss of coal falling into tbe bay from wharves known as section 4 in San Francisco, was consid- ered and rejected. The bill presented by the Risdon Iron Works in the sum of $12,180 14 was al- lowed. This is the first contract on which pay-out begins in the San Francisco depot fund. . A. Greeninger, chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Santa Clara County, will be subpenaed before the board to explain why a number of children for whom that county has been drawing State aid have not increased in age for the last two years. Greeninger swore to an affidavit that he knew each of the beneficiaries, and that each was under the age of 13 years. The returns show that Jofin Breeman was 13 years old on July 1, 1894, and the same age on January, 1896. J. Cook, who rented the Stoneman House in Yosemite Valley, presented a bill for §100 paid in advance on rent by bim before the hotel burned. Governor Budd presented a telegram sent to him by Mr. Cook on August 20 asking for consent to close the hotel, stating he had been los- ing money. The Governor referred Cook to the Valley Commissioners. Five days later the hotel was burned. The bill was laid over. 8. Merrill for taking The claim of C. testimony at a court-martial in San Fran. cisco, amounting to $1131 60, was recom- mended to the Legisiature. This had been referred to Secretary Brown, who reported favorably. ‘The claim of the estate of A. H. Wing, killed during the strike by the accidental discharge of a musket in the hands of one of the National Guarasmen during the strike, was recommended. Wing was on the public streets and was not opposing the guards stationed at the armory in Sacramento. The bill was pagsed by the g,:]é.egulnure and pocketed by Governor udd. The matter of coyote scalp claims was brought to the attention of the Board of Examiners to-day and the board has unanimously declared for war. Itseems that the country has been flooded with misleading circnlars sent out by collection agencies and law firms, CORBETT ASKS MUCH. Demands $10,000 to Agree to Fight Here, Whether the Match Comes Of or Not. A report was current yesterday, and was given credence by an evening paper, that Sharkey and Corbett had agreed to fight ten rounds in this City before the Eureka Athletic Club for a purse of $12,000. The Eureka Ciub obtained a permit yes- terday for a fight on November 21, and it was said this was for the great contest. Alfred Eilinghouse, who was said to be handling the matter, was not about his usual hauntslast evening, but little faith was placed in the story by local sports. As an argument against it and 1n #up- port of bis assertion that the National Club 1s still in the negotiations he showed the following telegram received from Cor- | bett vesterday: ASBURY PARK, N, I, Sept. 21, 1896, J. J. Groom, 942 Market strect, San Prancisco: You deposit $10,000 with Exeminer atence for Sharkey and I to box ten rounds, and we to receive Furse whether or not fight is pulled off. We will fight between the 20th and 30th of November. Saw Lynch and this is satisfactory to him. Answer at once so I can make prepa- tions to go out there. Jaxes J. CoRBETT. “‘Corbett would hardiy have signed with this new concern, of which no one seems to know anything, ot the same da; that ne forwarded this,” said Mr. Groom. WISH TO ARGUE AGAIN The County Government Act May Again Come Before the Supreme Court. Garret McEnerney, acting as attorney for the Board of Election Commissioners of this City and County, filed a petition with the Supreme Court yesterday ask- ing for leave to make an oral argument in favor of an application for a modification of the opinion of the courtin the suit of Julius Kabn vs. Adolph Sutro et al., in effect to determine the tenure of offices of local incumbents. At the beginning of the petition Mr. McEnerney gives his reasons for asking for this unusual privi- lege. Briefly summed up, these reasons are before the decision in this case, hereto- fore 1endered, shali bave become final, the time within which to make nominations for municipal offices and the time within which to call an election to fill such municipal offices will have expired; that if a rebearing should be granted about the thirtieth day after the date of that opinion great confusion and uncertainty will arise; that the respondents are reluc- tant to abide by the judgment pronounced heretofore until it shall have become final by the lapse of thirty days from the rendition thereof or by the refusal of the court to order a rehearing.

T0 OUST KERN'S LEGAL ADVISOR Grand Jury Files Charges Against the District Attorney. DEMANDS HIS REMOVAL Alvin Fay Accused of Having Retained Money Due the 5 County. TOOK FEES WHILE ON SALARY Drew From the State Treasury $670 for Prosecuting Foreclosure Suits. BAKERSFIELD, Car., Sept. 21.—The Grand Jury now in session has filed an accusation against Alvin Fay, District At- torney of Kern County, to have him re- moved from office. The proceedings are based upon the charge that he collected $670 from the State of California for fore- closing the interests of delinquent pur- chases of State school lands. After re- citing the facts of bringing the sixty-seven school land suits, the accusation states that Fay presented a claim for costs in the sum of $4053 04 to Controller Colgan, and it was allowed by the State Examiners and paid by the State Treasurer. The claim included an allowance of $10 adtor- ney’s fees for each suit, amounting to $670. The accusation deciares: That said Alvin Fay, while acting in his official capacity as District Attorney of Kern County, in which capacity he prosecuted said actions and received payment of said sum of money as aforesaid, is not now and was not at any time or at all entitled to receive for his own use or benefit the said sum of $670 so colleected by him, or any part or portion | thereof; but that said sum, and the whole ibereof, inureé to said Kemn County, and said county was and is entitled to sald sum of money, and the whole thereof, and it became | and was the duty of said Alvin Fay to collect the said sum of $670 from the State of Cali- fornia and pay the same over to the Treasurer of Kern County, for the use and benefit oi said county; but, disregarding his said duty, and having the said sum of $670 in his vossession and control, as aforesaid, by virtue of his saia trust, he, the said Alvin Fay, did, on the 20th day of | May, 1896, willfully and fraudulently and corruptly and contrary 1o the Gue and lawful | execution of his said trust appropriate the said sum of $670, and the wnole thereof, to his own use, knowing the same 1o be wrong, and with & willful and fraudulent and corrupt in- tent to convert the same to his own use, thereby to defraud said county contrary to the force and effect of the statute in such cases made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the pebpie of the State of California. | Wherefore plaintiff and said Grand jury | 'pray that said defendant, Alvin Fay, be auly | cited to appear before the honorable court, “ snd that upon due hearing hereof said Alvin i | Fay be removed from his said office as Distriet Atiorney of Kern County, State of California. The District Attorneys of counties of the class of Kern are paid $2000 for all services required of them by law. The foreclovure of the interests of delinquent purchasers of State school lands in the respective counties is & duty imposed by law npon District Attorneys where so di- reccedpby the State. Mr. Fay has served one or two terms of office before as Dis- trict Attorney, and it was his custom to | retain all such money for his own use. | During that time the District Attorney | was allowed to retain certain fees, but now under the present county govern- ment act he is paid a salary.

Says H: Resembles Lovren’s Com- panion cn the Night of th: Tagus Affair. VISALIA, Carn., Sept. 21.—Some dam- aging testimony against the defendant was given to-day in the case of the People vs. Charles ' Ardell, charged with com- plicity in the attempted robbery of a Southern Pacific train on the night of March 18 near Tagus. On June 13 Charles Araell testified in the Lovren case that he had met and drunk with Dan McCall on the Monday preceding the attempted robbery, and that he asked McCall what he was doing. Me- Call said he was chopping wood. Ardeil said, “Isn’t this pretty hot weather chop- ping wood.” McCall replied that it was, but that he and his partner intended to take a lay off and go to the mountains for a trin. In refutation of this testimony Houn. Alfred Daggett, the father of Earl Daggett, the young Under Sheriff who de- fended the train and fired the shot that killed Dan McCall, was called and testitied as to the condition of the weather during a poriion of March. On the 7th of March, at 6 A. ., it was frosty and the thermome- ter registered 36 degrees. On March 16, 17 and 18 the weather was somewhat cloudy and the mercury ranged from 58 to 73 degree: The surprise of the day came when Ira Hawkins took the stand and reiterated his testimony given in the Lovren case. Hawkius said be was awakened about 2 o'clock on_ the morning of the 19th of March by William Balch. He drives the 'bus from the Palace Hotel to the devot, and as he was going out of the hotel to attend to his work be saw Si Lovren and another man drive east along Main street in & buggy with tne top thrown back. They were going at a pretty fast gait, and tne horse appearea to have been driven hard. They turned from Ceurt street into Main, and _the light from the hotel fell full upon Lovren’s face. The two men drove to Church street and there turned south. A few minutes aiter this Ardell and Olark came up to the hotel and took a drink. 5 Hawkins testified that the man with Lovren closely resembled Charles Ardell. ——— Counterfeits in Plenty. - GUTHRIE,O.T., Sept. 2L.-Harrison Har- mon, Thomas Hen and Edward Harring- ‘were arrested yesterday on a charge of terfeiting.
