THORNS IN LOVE’S PATHWAY, She Bccomes Dissatisfied With the Home Provided by the Aged Spouse. FRESNO, CAL., Oct. 20.—8. B. Bresee, a well-known pioneer resident of Fresno and at one time wealthy, has just under- gone a marital venture which has made him a much wiser man. It wasa brief but romantic venture, and the old man has reason to carry a heavy heart. He is 60 years of age, and this was his second unsuccessful attempt since his first wife died. Some time ago Mr. Bresee chanced to run across a paper which contained a num- ber of “matrimonial ads.”” One of these set forth that a ‘‘charming widow of means,” residing 1n Los Angeles, was de- sirous of taking unto herself a husband. Mr. Bresee was weary of single lifé and be was looking for a wife. The Los Angeles “widow of means’’ caught kis fancy. The noble sentiment was stirred up within the oft-stormed breast and he decided to woo once more. Besides, Mr. Bresee had a | $5000 morteage on his home in this city, and by winning the Los Angeles “widow of means” he thought that she would save it for him. Accordingly he entered into a corre- spondence with the Los Angeles lady. His letters had great effect upon the lonely widow, and the correspondence immediately assumed a most affectionate tone. Presently Mr. Bresee proposed by | mail, and he was accepted by mail. He | expeditiously repaired to Los Angeles. The two lovers met for the first time, and on Saturday, October 10, they were wedded. After a short but extremely blissful honeymoon Mr. and Mrs. Bresee came to Fresno, intending to make their home bere for the remainder of their lives. The bride seemed highiy pieased when she first arrived and the groom was equally happy. Though hardly prepossessing she was satisfactory to Mr. Bresee, according to his own statements, and he proudly introduced his wife to his friends during the afternoon of the day they arrived. At evening the fair bride expressed a desire to visit the business guarter of the city. She came ujptown alone and never returned to the Bresee home. She pur- chased a ticket for Los Angales and on the following day reached that city. . Just why Mrs. Bresee left her husband in such a summary manner is not known here, as she spoke to 0o one about it b fore she departed. It is believed, how- ever, that her expectations of what her Fresno home would b: were no means realized. The house is located just nerth of the Chinese quarter. Mr. Bresee is disconsolate. He thinks he has made a fool of himself, but says he still loves tte widow and may try to in- duce_her to return to him. A few years ago Mr. Bresee married a girl 18 years of age. She had thought hLe was wealthy, but when she learned to the contrary she leit him. He then secured a divorce. e Palley Foad Progress. FRESNO, Can., Oct. 20.—Work on the Valley road freight depot in this city was commenced to-day. Contractor Riggins has a large force of men at work on the excavation. It is expected to have the building completed in about sixty days. The construction of the roundhouse and turntable will soon begin, —_—— Hold-Up Near Ukiah, UKIAH, CaL, Oct. 20.—Oharles John- son, a laborer, was robbed of $160 and an | overcoat by two men last night on the county road from this place to Potter Valley. Johnson was going to his home at Potter Valley afoot. The robbers were disguised. Johnson was so badly scared that be can give no good description of them. —_— TROUBLE IN STANISLAUS. Method of a Canal Company to Enforce Payment of Its Rates for Water. MODESTO, CaL., Oct. 20.—Farmers and stock-raisers of the west side of the Ban Joaquin River, in this county, are con- fronted by what may terminate in a start- ling condition of affairs. The canal of the San Joaquin and King Rivers Canal Com- pany, oftener called the Miller & Lux canal, supplied residents of that portion of the county with water for irrigation ana stock-raising purposes. Deeming the rates charged too high the water-users applied to the company for a reduction. It refused, and they then petitioned the Board of Supervisors to establish rates for the corporation. This move was bitterly fought, but in June the Board of Supervisors established a schedule of rates, reducing the former prices from an average of $2 50 per acre to $150. Now a Deputy Unitea States Marshal is 1n the county subpenaing all Supervisors to appear before the United States Circuit Court in S8an Francisco dn November 2 to answer to proceedings in an equity suit commenced against them by the canal company. The most serious phase for the stock- raisers at present is that there is no water flowing in the canal and has not been for some time. Several weeks ago the canal company's agent informed the patrons that the water would be turned off foy ten days or two weeks. The time expired, and no watercame. The agent again said it would be ten days or two weeks more before it would flow, but the alfaifa fields are suffering, as this is the time of the year wi en the ranchers flood their lands. Stock is also on short rations. gl SANTA BARBARA’S SENSATION. Supreme Court Asked to Disbar Attorney Grant Jackson From Practicing in the State. SANTA BARBARA, CAL., Oct. 20.—C. A. Storke of Santa Barbara to-day filed a peti- tion in the Supreme Court of this State asking for the disbarment from practice of Grant Jackson, an attorney of this place. This action is based upon an alleged false bill of exceptions filed by Jackson some months ago in asking fora new trial in the divorce suit of Storke vs. Storke. This case was one in which cross-complaints bad been filed by each party. After a full and exhaustive bearing a decision had been rendered in Mr. Storke’s favor. - Jackson was counsel for Yda Addis Storke, the defendant, who i§ possessed of u some-time celebrity as a writer, and in appealing for a new trial he presented an elaborate resumeof the testimony claimed to have been presented on the former bear- ing, which bad not been written out by the court reporter. This quotation of testi- mony, it is stated, is grossly false and will- fully pervertea in behalf of the accused attorney’s client, the testimony of respect- able witnesses being maliciously distorted and expand d the attorney’s disbar- ment from practice is therefore asked under the provisions of the code. —_—— RAID ON 4 HORSECAR. Highwaymen Shoot a Driver Who Called For Assistance. 108 ANGELES, Car., Oct. 20.—Two negroes attempted to hold up a Main- street horsecar to-night shortly after 9 o'clock in the vicinity of Agricultural Park. In the melee John R. Reyes, the driver, was shot in the arm and cheek. Reyes was engaged in fixing his lamp when the highwaymen sprang from pe- hind a lumber pile and thrust a revolver toward his face. He threw up his left arm and called for help. The revolver was discharged, the ball passi n% through Reyes’ forearm and lodging in his cheek. The negroes then ran away without lomgtin; to secure any money. Reyes is not dangerously hurt.

The Vehicle Wrecked and Its Occupants Dashed to the Ground. SUSTAIN - SERIOUS INJURIES, Miss E:sie Doud ot San Francisco Loses a Foot Under the Wheels. NAPA, Car.,, Oct. 20.—A carriage con- taining Miss Essie Doud of Howard street, San Francisco, Mrs. Dr. Fluno of Oak- land, Mrs. N. F. Whipple of Napa, six- year-old Lina Whipple and Walter Whip- vle, the latter of whom was driving, was struck by a passenger train at the Third- street railroad crossing this afternoon. The carriage was wrecked aud all were thrown to the ground. Miss Doud’s left foot was so badly crushed that it hadto be amputated. Mrs, Fluno was struck on the head by a drivewheel of the engine and badly injured, It is feared her in- juries may vrove fatal. Little Lina Whip- ple was badly bruised about the face. Mrs. Fluno and Miss Dond had been visiting at the home of N. F. Whipple, who lives about a mile and a half from Napa. The surrey was hitched up to bring them to the afternoon train, as they wished to return to their home. The horses were driven leisurely along, no danger being apprehended by the merry people. The afternoon train from Cal- istoga was coming down the track. Itis perhaps not strange that the train was not seen, for the Columbia Hotel and an empty passenger coach so obstructed the view that an approaching train could not be seen until one was close to the track. The horses and the fore part of the rig had crossed the track when the vehicle was struck by the cowcatcher. The surrev was thrown into theair. The occupants were pitched to the ground. The train was stopped before it had gone thirty feet further and the trainmen hastened to the assistance of the injured. The surrey had been carried and thrown about twenty feet down the track. 5 Mrs. Fluno was lying on the ground un- conscious, her head close to the drive- wheel of the engine. Her face was cov- ered with blooa. Miss Doud was a few feet away. Lina was badly bruised about the head and required assistance. No blame can be attached to the railroad officials, as the proper signals were given ana the train was coming very slowly. PACIFIC GROVE MOURNS, J. O. Johnson’s Death Announced in a Telegram From Oregon. One of the City’s Founders and Fore- most in A!l Improvement Schemes. PACIFIC GROVE, CaL, Oct. 20.—J. O. Johnson, a prime mover and enthusiastic worker in the settlement and improve- ment of Pacific Grove and a large prop- erty-owner of this place, died yesterday of appendicitis at Medford, Oregon. A telegram last night announced the fact to his sorrowing friends here. The connection which Johnson had ith the early history of Pacific Grove is of soimportant a nature that had there been no J. O. Johnson it is extramely doubtful if there would have been a Paci- fic Grove. From the very beginning of his efforts until the day of his death the advancement and prosperity of the town were subjects in which™ his interest never flagged. J. 0. Johnson was the son of a Southern planter, and was born in Rappahannock County, Virginia, May 10, 1 In 1869 the family moved to Calitornia and settled in Monterey County. In 1877 J. O. John- son came to Pacific Grove, which, though founded in 1875, was even then little more than a camping ground, and at a cost of $10,000 he built and equipped a livery stable. He also engaged in other ventures and from 1878 to 1880 was superintendent of the Grove, under David Jacks’ orders, for the Pacific Grove Retreat Association. In 1880 the Puente del Pinos ranch, compris- mf the present site of Pacific Grove, was sold by David Jacks to the Pacific Im- rovement Company at $5 per acré, and 'ohnsen was installed in 1881 as superin- tendent under the new ownership, his old office with the Retreat Association being filled by Rev. Dr. Sinex, now incumbent. While holding office with the Pacific Im- provement Company Johnson platted the township of Pacific Grove and soon after- ward sold over 3000 lots, which were speedily built upon. The improvement of streets and driveways was also carried far during his' superintendency. In 1886 Johnson resignes was succeeded by B. A. Eardley, whostill holds the position. Johnson married a daughter of D. W. Lloyd, the pioneer grocer of Pacific Grove. —_— SAYS MATRIMONY IS DEGRADED. Bishop Dart of British Columbia Assails the United States Divorce Laws. VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 20.—This is what Bishop Dart of British Columbia says about matrimony in the United States in his pastoral address to the British Col- umbia Anglican Synod: +It is well known that lax ideas respact- ing marriage are abroad, and it is well known that in some of the United States God’s holy ordinance of matrimony has been degraded through the Ifacilities of- fered for divorce into a temporary legal- ized concubinage, dissoluble almost at the will of either party. Members of our own communion are pot the only Christian people who feel that this is an abominable state of things. But lax ideas are apt to spread terribly fast and unless we plainly and earnestly declare God’'s law our peo- ple will _too readily conform to a lower standard. We should teach oftener than we commonly do the sanctity and perma- nence of the nurrin%- tie, and theimpera- tive obligation to the family as the di- vipely appointed end of marriage. We shouid point out that laxity with regard to the marriage bond has invariably ac- companied the decay and decadence of nations. | “Milman, in his Latin Christianity, | al NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS -0-0-C1 SECON MILLINERY OPENING THURSDAY, FRIDAY AND SATORDAY!

There can be no doubt that this dissolution of those bonds which unite the family was the corroding plague of Roman society.” The greatest of living Englishmen—states- men, philos-pher, theologian (referring doubtless to & . Giadstone) has lately told us that fifty years ago he had read everything he could find upon the subject, and that nothing since had shaken the conclusion he had then arrived at on the absolute perpetuity of the marriage tie, save when it was broken by death.” As a large proportion of the residents ot British Columbia are either former resi- dents of the United States or citizens of that republic, considerable indignation is expressed at the Bishop’s strictures on the marriage laws of the United States. : o, L PORTLAND'S 600D SAMARITAN. Aid Comes to a Distressed Immigrant Who Could Not Pay for His « Wife's Burial. PORTLAND, O=r., Oct. 20.—William Ashton, a man about 50 years old, arrived at the Union depot this morning from Kansas, accompanied by six motherless children, the eldest not more than 10 years of age. Ashton left his home ten days ago on an emigrant train bound for Yam- hill County, where he has friends, for the benefit of his wife’s health. ln order to pay the passage of his family this man sacrificed the little property he had in Kansas. On the third day out Mrs. Ashton died aboard of the train from a hemorrhage of the stomach, and she was buried along the road in an impromptu coffin, Ashton in- tending to have the body exhumed assoon as he was able and give it a Christian burial. When he landed here this morn- ing he had but §6 left, a part of which he expended in telegraphing his condition to his Yamhiil County friends. ‘While the afflicted emigrant was unfold- ing his sad story to a patrolman an old gentleman accompanied by a young lady, both wearing mourning attire, were intent listeners. hen Ashton had concluded his story the old gentieman, with tears glistening in his eyes, walked up to nim and took the sorrowing emigrant by the hand, saying: “My dear man, you have my sympathy, I recently lost one just as dear to me as it seems your wife was to you. Take this and satisfy your heart’s desire to give your dead wife a Christian burial.”” The strange old gerftleman took from a wallet a $50 bank note and pressed it into Ashton’s hand. “Will you please dglve me your name and address?” gasped Ashton, with much emotion and gratitude. “Never mind, but may God biess you and your little brood,” replied the benevo- lent old gentleman. And without the ex- change of another word the good samari- tan and his charge entered the waiting- room of the Union depot.
