THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1896. 3 CZAR AND CZARINA SEE PARIS SIGHTS Cold, Drizzling Rain Failsto Dampen the People’s Enthusiasm. Nicholas Lays the First Stone of the B:idge to Bear His Father’s Name. NCIDENTS OF THE CEREMONY. Their Majesties Showered With Gifts and Flowers by Officials and Maidens. PARIS, Fraxce, Oct. 7.—A cold, drizz- ling rain fell throughout the forenoon, but despite the discomfort of being out of doors thousands of people assembled in the vicinity of the Russian embassy, hoving to catch a glimpse of the imperial visitors. President Faure, with Mme. Faure and Mille. Faure, drove to the Russian embassy at 9 o’clock this morring for the purpose of accompanying the Czar and Czarina in their sight-seeing tour of the city. The Czar expressed the thanks of him- self and the Czarina for the courtesy shown to them by thé President and his family, and invited M. Faure to occupy a seatin his landau. The party started on their trip half an hour behind the time fixed by the programme. The Carina wore a gray dress and looked bright and fresh, but the Czar looked pale and wore a serious expression. The party was driven to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, where they were received by Cardinal Richards, Archbishop of Paris, who was clad in his archiepiscopal robes. Assisting the Cardinal in the re- ception of the visitors were the Vicar- Genersl of the archdiocese and the mem- bers of the Maroponitan- Chapter. Tne streets through which the party passed were lined with people, and the great square fronting the cathedral was densely packed. The enthusiasm of tke people along the route and in the square was manifested by almost incessant cheering. The Czar and Czarina, after leaving the cathedral, visited the Palais de Justice, the Pantheon and the Hotel des Invalides, returning to the Russian embassy for luncheon. In the afternoon the Czar laid the first stone of the new bridge across the Seine, to be known as the Alexander III bridge, in honor of the late Czar of Russia, father of Nicholas II. The weather was £t ery. The Czar while at the Pantheon paid a visit to the tomb of the late Presi- dent Carnot, upron whicn his Majesty placed a magnificent wreath of whiie owers. nt. The Czar and Czarina left the embassy at 2:45 o'clock and reached the site of the Pont de Alexandre III at3o’ciock. M. Boucher, Minister of Commerce, welcomed the Czar and Czarine and President Faure, all of whom stood under a marquee. Sun- shine broke through the clouds as the military band struck up the Russian an- them, at the conciusion of which the Ea- fants de Lutece sang the ‘‘Soldiers’ Chorus” from “Faust.” M. Mounet Sully then recited M. Herides’ splendid ode of welcome to the Paix et Rodur. A coffer containing an account of the laying of the foundation stone of the bridge Alexander III and some coins which were struck off at the mint to-day were presented to the Uzar. Another coffer with similar contents was then placed in the cavity which had been formed for its reception in the 18,000 kilo- grame foundation block of granite which had been placed upon truck-mounted rails and the cavity closed with a plate of pol- ished granite ornamented with a pair of steel rings. The Czar and Czarina and President Faure then left the tribune in which they stood, M. Boucher guiding them. Boucher presented a trowel and hammers to the Czar and Czarina, who successively struck blows upon the plate, closing the vity in the stone. A squad of sailors then hoisted the French and Russian colors upon the mast above the marquee, while the guns of the Hotel des Invalides thundered a salve of twenty-one guns. The military bands played, while fiom the left bank of the Seine a beflowered boat started, conveying forty maidens with a present to the Czarina of a chiseled silver vase enriched with jewels and a magnificent bouquet. An immense crane hoisted the founda- tion-stone and lowered it into place, while the Czar and Czarina resumed their places on the tribune. M. Boucher read the minutes of the function, which the Czar signed first, the Czarina next and finally President Faure. While the forty maidens were landing from their boats, the Enfants de Lutece chanted “France, France.”” The maidens then approached the Czarina and pre- sented their gifts. Her Majesty accepted them and expressed her admiration of the presents, at the same thanking the maidens with the peculiar grace which has already won the hearts of all Parisians. The procession was re-formed at 4c’clock amid the mingled strains of the Russian anthem and the Marseillaise and the cheers of the crowd. The route to the mint was thronged with wildly cheering people who had preserved their good nature and patience despite tbe hours they had waited for the appearance of the Russian visitors, the procession being at that time an hour behind the time fixed by the pro- gramme. After their visit to the academy the Czar and Czarina proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, where M. Baudin, President of the Municipal Council, received them. M. Baudin read an address expressing the wisbes of the people for the welfare of their majesties and rendering on behalf of the city of Paris the homage dictated by traditions, love of country and faith in the destinies of the two great friendly nations. The Czar replied to M. Baudin’s ad- dress, briefly thanking him, as the repre- sentative of the city, for the good wishes expressed. After an inspection of the chief halls, including the court of honor, which was carpeted with fresh flowers and mervelously decorated, the Czar and Czarina at 6 o'clock took their departure for the Russian embassy, amid the en- thusiastic cheers of the crowds. Almost all the municipal officials were present at the reception. The welcoming of the imperial visitors could not have been more hearty if the crowds had been composed of monarchists instead of socialists, Mme. Carnot and her sons were | M. | During the visit the Czar conferred the decoration of the Grand Cordon of St. Anne upon the Prefect of the Seine. This evening their majesties’ were enter- tained at a erand banquet by President Faure and other officials of the Govern- ment at the embassy, at the conclusion of which they were driven to the Tneater Francais, where M. Mounet recited M. Claretie’s*“Welcome,” after which Musset’s comedy ‘Caprice” was performed, fol- lowed by a scens from *“The Cid.” The performance concinded with one act of “Les Femmes Savantes.” The theater was beautifully decorated with bunting and flowers, and a large and pr#liant assemblage was present. At the conclusion of the performance the Czar and Czarina returned to the Russian embassy. INTERESTS THE COAST. Military Transfers—New Postmasters in Nevada—California Pensions. WASHINGTON, D.

ALBERT CASTLE'S CASE, Police Say They Found the Missing Furs in His Trunks. A Private Dispatch Says He Will Be Released From Custody To- Day LONDON, Exa., Oct. 8. —There is an air of considerable mystery about the case o ‘Walter Michael Castle, the American mer- chant, Ella Castle, his wife, and Fred Castle, his son, who were arrested yester- day at the Hotel Cecil and were charged with stealing several sable and chinchilla skins from furriers. The manager of the Hotel Cecil said that the Castles arrived there on Septem- ber 26 from the Continent. There had been nothing in their conduct which was noteworthy or suspicious. They seemed to be the quietest and most respectable kind of people. No further charges have been preferred acainst the Castles, nor have the police identitied them with any shop thieves known in London. The police confess themselves much puzzied by the case. The evidence agaiust them seeras to be confined to the fact that they bad i entered the shops of the complainants and after examining the furs had gone away without buyving any. The furriers missed the goods immediately afterward and told the police, who say that they found the missing articles, to ether with | much jewelry and some old hand-painted china, in the Castle trunks at the Hotel { Cecil. — WILL BE FREE TO-DAY. News Recelved Here That Walter M. Castle Will Be Released at Once. Colonel Albert E, Castle bas received a | dispatch from London bringing the news that Walter M. Castle, who was arrested in Lonépn, will be released to-day. Yes- terday cablegrams were scnt by Governor | Budd to Hon. Patrick Collins, United States Consul-General at London, and to | United States Minister Bayard requesting them to befriend Mr. Castle, and a dis- | patch was also sent to Secretary of State | O ney at Washington. The dispatches ran | as foilows: *'I vouch for the respectability and high standing of Walter M. Castle and family, citizens of this State, arrested | in London, and request your best offices |in their behalf.” This was sizned, “James | H. Budd, Governor of California.” Oscar Straus, ex-United Scates Minister to | Constantinople, has communicated with Minister Bayard from New York. There is no doubt entertained here that the arrest of Mr. and Mrs. Castle was based on a mistake. Protest of Seed Merchants. WASHINGTON, D.

FRESNO, CaL.,, Oct. 7.—There wasa good attendance at the races to-uay and a lively interest was manifested. The pro- gramme was an excellent one. There were four running events, a half mile for two- year-olds, a three-quarter mile, a five- aighths and a quarter mile. The track was in excellent shape and the time made was fairly good. P F,owned by Owens Bros., aroused considerable enthusiasm by winning the race for two-year-olds. Heis a Fresno horse and promises well. In the second race Hollehyoe sold favorite, but Tampa surprised the talent by leading all the way and winning the race. At the conclusion of the last race the judges ruled Joshua Burris of Hanford, owner of Sontag, off the track. Sontag was left at the post, and the judges declared her distanced. Burris and many others claimed that there was no distance flag out and that none had been announced. The judges—F. P. Wicker- sham, W. M. Hughes and Lee Shaney— remained firm in their ruling, and Burris became abusive. He told them that they could not rule sheep, whereupon he was ruled off the track.

CAIMER HILL'S BANDIT CAUGHT Tuolumne County Deputy Sheriffs Effect His Capture. Cleverly Trailed From the Scene of the Oakdale Stage 2 Robbery. ADMITS THAT HE IS GUILTY. The Booty H2 Secured Believed to Have Been Sunk in a River. SONORA, CaL. Oct. 7.—Deputy Sheriffs Lee Price of Sonora and James Donohue of Jamestown lodged in jail to-night the lone highwayman who robbed the Oak- dale stage early Tuesday morning at Cri- mea Hill, As soon as the news of the hold-up was received here the two officers started out in pursuit of the robb:r. Arriving at the scene of the hold-up they made a thor- ough search of the ground and finally struck a trall, which they supposed, and rightly so, to be that of the stage robber. This they followed until they reached Dom Pedro’s Bar. Up to this point the robber had worn moccasins, but here, for some reason, he saw fit to discard them. He crossed the river and continued his flight along the La Grance dam for some ten miles, when he arrived at the town of La Grange. There he bought a pair of shoes and continued his journey, but was found by the ‘officers in an abandoned tunnel on the banks of the Tuolumne River. ‘When arrested, the fugitive denied hav- ing been near the scene of the robbery, but he admitted while on his way to Sonora that he was the man wanted, adding that he had had a variner in the hold-up. This is not believed, as there were no tracks at any place along the route taken by the robber to indicate that two men had passed that‘way. The prisoner was lodged in jail. He gave as his name Lee Brown. He is a Ger- man about 25 years of age, and has been seen around here quite recently. When arrested he had but $5 on his person, and it is supposed that he has cashed the remainder of his booty, as it is learned that he got at least $100 from Wells- Fargo’s box. Besides this cash and some cartridges, nothing was found on him. He admits having sunk in the Tuolumne River a parcel, the contents of which are believed to be some of the letters taken from the mail pouch. At the scene of the daring crime a num- ber of letters have been picked up, as well as several checks, which of course were useless to the robber, Wells-Fargo’s box was also found with one side broken in, but none of its contents has so far been recovered.

Parkhurst, the young man who died last Saturday at Westport, in this county, while traveling through the countr. with what is known as the ‘‘gospel wagon,” in which a body of religions workers is tour- ing the State, was brought here last even- ing by Albert Albrecht, a relative of the deceased by marriage. The entire force of tie gospel band accompanied the body. Upon its arrival here the corps was taken to the undertaking parlors of Eversole & Templeton, where it now lies, and is be- ing prepared for shipment to San Fran- cisco, enn route to Berkeley, the home of the boy’s mother. The inquest held this morning before Coroner J. H. Barker was conducted by District Attorney G. A. Sturtevant. The testimony showed heyond a question that if proper care had been given the young man he would have recovered from what at the first was only a slight indisposition, caused by an over indulgence in fruit. The various members of the ‘‘gospel band,” and who in fact attended the lad in his last illness, stated their disbelief in the taking of medicine, and declared that such were also the views heid by young Parkhurst. One of the members stated that his ideas were that one should trust in the Lord and pray for relief, and if this did not come, then to resort to medical attendance. Parkhurst’s brother, aged about 20 years, is also & member of the gospel band. He appeared to be very enthusiastic in the work in which he is engaged, and stated it as his belief that medicine should not be used in cases of sickness, but that his mother held views directly opposed to those of himself and his deceased brother.

TP i PASADENA’S FIRE-FIGHTERS. Futile Attempt to Check the Flames on Browns Mountain. PASADENA, CarL., Oct 7.—Forest fires are seen on the fiont range of the Sierra Madre again to-night. The flames are several miles from the Mount Lowe prop- erty, with a canyon intervening, so there is no immediate danger, and as the County Supervisors are to send twenty-five men up to-morrow morning they will probably be able to clieck the conflagration. The ten men who went up Browns Mountain yesterday from this city did not succeed in checking the flames. They could get no water up there and the blind- ing, suffocating heat and smoke was too much for them. They came down to- night, leaving the fire on the front range burning. The other men are several miles back, fizhting the fire on the other side. The Tejunga fires seem to be working west. The San Gabriel Canyon fire is greater than yesterday, and is now only a few miles above Azusa. Nothing has been done to check it. BN Santa Cruz’s New Courthowse.
