El THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1896. - BETTING ON LOS ANGELES COUNTY McKinley Men Offer Even Money, With Few Takers. Bryanites Unwilling to Risk Cash in Support of Their Claims. REPUBLICAN SUCCESS CERTAIN A Remarkable Changs in Favor of Sound Money in the Secuth. LOS ANGELES, Car., Nov. 2.—One of . the most remarkable campaigns ever known in Southern California closed here to-ni-ht. Combinations and fusions of every sort have been entered iunto, while party lines have been broken in a manner never before equaled in the history of politics in this country. Owing to this condition everybody is considerably at sea asto the result of to-morrow’s vote. Predictions and estimates of the parties are as wide apart as the oceans. The | Bryanites claim the county by 1000 majority, but, with nothing tangibie upon which to base their prognostications, the Republicans claim the county by from 2000 to 4000. At betting headquarters here a remark- sble change has been observed in the past two or three days in favor of sound money. The principal betting is on the State and county. Even money is offered by Mec- Kinley men that the county will go Re- publican, but there are few takers. An offer which is attracting considerable at- tention is one of even money that McKin- ley will receive forty more electoral votes than Bryan. The Bryan backers are somewhat shaky, and if they have any opinion they are not anxious to back it up with coin.* ‘On general resulits 23{ to 1 on McKiuley is ireely offered with but few takers. A betof $25 to $35 was placed to-day that McKinley woulia receive fifty more electoral votes than Bryan. McKinley money was freely offered on Illinois, In- diana and Iowa with no takers. e LAST RALLY IN SONOMA, Congressman Barham Delivers a Final Bpeech at Santa Kosa.

The gleam of red fire and the in- spiring strains of a cornet band enlivenec the streets, and the crowds that thronged the Atheneum were reaay to cheer every- body and everything when the meeting opened. At least 1800 people found seats in“the Atheneum before 8 o’clock, and late-comers crowded the aisles and lobby until the final word had been spoken and the three-times-three cheers and a tiger bad split the air. 0. O. Weber, chairman of the Repub- lican County Central Committee, called the meeting to order and iatroduced Hon. L. V. Hitchcock as chairman. Mr. Hitch- cock reviewed the situation briefly and | made some telling points in favor of pro- tection. He was loudly applauded. He then introduced Hon. J. A. Barham, who received an ovation. When the applause haa subsided Con- gressmen Barham began his address, which was one of the best heard during the campaign. His views on the Nicar- agua canal were direct to tie point, and he assured the audience that he would use every effort to have the canal opened and contro:led by the United States Gov- ernment. Mr. Barham spoke an hour and was ciosely followed and frequently cheered during his address. The local candidates spoke briefly after the main speech was concluded, and the meeting was closed with loud cheers for the whole ticket.

They were given a hearty greeting to-night as they stepped on the platform, and “Joe” Campbell at once proposed three cheers for McKinley and protection, which were given with a will. M. T. Noyes, a promi- nent San Joaquin County farmer, was chairman of the meeting, and paid his re- spects to what he termed the two hum- _bugs—free silver and free trade. Judge Patterson was the first speaker, and he offered one of the most logical and convincing arguments of the campaign. Campbell followed in a fiery speech, which added to the entbusiasm of the big audi- ence. Judge J. G. Swinnerton closed with one of his old-time speeches, full of logic -and delightful 1o listen to.

Colonel Jackson Speaks to Fifteen Hun. drea Enthusiastic People, NAPA, Car., Nov. 2—The Republican campaign ciosed in Napa thir evening with one of the largest and most enthusi. astic meetings ever held in this city. Colonel J. P. Jackson was the speaker of the evening. He arrived from San Fran. cisco on the evening train and was driven to the Palace Hotel. An immense parade was formed at the Republican headquarters, marched to the hotel and acted ‘as escort to the speaker. The parade, under the direction of Sheriff George 8. McKenzie, was large and well handled. Torches, transparencies, bon- d fireworks added to the brilliancy. Maple Hall was crowded to its utmost capacity, 1500 peaple passing its doors. G. M. Francis, one of the most prominent Republicans of Napa County and who is aiso one of the Republican candidates for elector, called the vast assemblage to order.

PORTLAND, Og., Nov. 2.—Incoming trains and steamers to-day brought home many leading campaigners, and at the respective headquarters encouraging re- ports were given out. Outside of Port- land and Muitnomah County, which are overwheiming!y Republican, the question of which way the State will go to-morrow is much in doubt. Bettinz is lively and much McKinley moaey was placed to-day at 3 to L. A rumor was started ibis afterncon that there was money waiting for takers that Bryan would have some kind of majority in Oregon, but the cash was withdrawn. There is every indication that a large vote will be polled to-morrow in this State. The campaign has been the most exciting ever experienced in the Northwest, and all forces are active and determined. The weather forecast for to-morrow is occasional rain, warmer in eastern part of State and some sunshine. It is thought the storm which has been raging on the coast will abate to-night and that it will not interfere with the vote. Tue Repub- licans say to-night that Coos and Clack- amas counties, not thickly populated but overwhelmingly Populistic, will go for McKinley. The city has received within a week an alien population of several hundred, in- cluding thugs ana crooks, who are being housed in the north end, and make no de- nial of their object in suddenly flocking bere. A large force of deputy sheriffs and extra policemen was sworn in to-day and instructed how to preserve order to-morrow to prevent a repetition of the bloody scenes at the primaries last Avril and June, when the ‘*‘Bloody Ninth” achieved unsavory notoriety. Trouble is feared and the police will have their hands tull preserving order. All business is to be suspended snd offices closed. As no Congressmen are to be voted for here to-morrow, the ballot is simple and the resuit in Oregon should be known early, although from interior counties 80 and 100 miles from railroad or telegraph reports of the vote will be slow coming in. OUTLOOK 1IN Republican Leaders Claim Certain FPio- tory for Their Tioket, SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 2—In the clos- ing hours of the campaign in this State the Republicans are fighting more gal- lantly, if possible, than at any time !h;::i WABHINGION. the battle begun, while the leaders—no bly Governor McGraw and Andrew F. Burleigh—insist that Washington is to en- roll herself in the McKinley column. Potter Charles Suilivan, as well as Doo- little and Hyde, Republican Congres- sional candidates, will be elected. Sur- face indications, viewed impartialiy, seem- ingly fioint to Bryan'’s victory in the State, Also that free-silver Congressional candi- dates Lewis and Jones will win, with the vote on the governorship being very close. In the last hours the combined free s ver forces, styling themselves the people’s party, have not put forth ss much effort as the Republicans and they were oute numoered by latterin the joint parade Saturday night at Tacoma. This evening, in this city, Republicans and goid standard Democrats held big meetings in the armory and Seattle theater, the principal addresses being de- livered by Andrew F. Burieigh, Governor McGraw and Major W. V. Reinhart. Free silver advocates charge fraud at hands of Republicans in matter of regis- tration. They claim that 6,0 or 70C alleged voters who registered from the water front precinct cannot be found, and assert that these people in reality reside in localities not within the city limits, and that their purpose is to repeat. An Evyereit special says A. D. Warner, formerly of this city and one of the most prominent lawyers in the Siate, was ar- rested tnere this afternoon at the instance of the Republicans tor false registration. Warner, who has been stumping the State for Bryan and free silver, is the author of a book entitled *‘People vs. Gold Bug in High Court Justice.” ———— BRYAN'S WEAKNESs AT HOME.

Mr. Bryan is one of our neerest neighbors— balf a block away. He will lose his preciict, ward and the cily—the city by at least 1000. The Repubiicans claim the county by from 2000 to 2500. I don’t think there s any doubt but he will be beaten in the county by 1500. The State {s going to bs very close. It uow looks as if Bryan would lose the State. He has been rapidly losing ground for the last thirty days, Ishou:d hope California would cast a de- cisive ballot for honest money, not for a depreciated doilar. It is a battie royal in Nebraska, and 1 hope aud believe it will be carried for sonnd money and not tound in the repudiation column after the polls ou Noveme ber 8. » E.

The meeting was presided over by ex-Mayor Barber, who in a neat speech introduced Judee J. J. Boyce. The judge wasted no time in preliminaries, but waded througn the labyrinth of free silver arguments, showing the resulits that would follow free coinage without the co-opera- tion of other nations. His appeal for sound money and protection was the most masterly of the campaign. The Judge wus foliowed by the Hon. Bepunea Ratiel from Los Angeles, who spoke in Spanish and cnflunmd those who understood the Spanish tongue by his eloguence, predict- ing a sweeping victory to-morrow. —— San Mateo Enthusianm, BAN MATEOQ, Cav., Nov. 2.—The largest Republican gathering of the campaign in Ban Mateo was addressed to-night by Hon.

EUREKA, Can, Nov. 2.—The greatest and most exciting political demonstration ever witnessed in Humboldt County marked the close of the campaign in Eu- reka to-night. Both silverites and Republicans held rallies, preceded by parades, and there was presented the odd scene of long lines of torch-bearing adherents of the opposing factions marching aiong the principal streets at the same time and frequently passing each other on the same street, the one shouting for Bryan and Cutler, the other for McKinley and Barnam, all good naturedly chaffing each other, but withal maintaining the best of order and good- feeling. The Republican line, which included the McKinley Drill Corps, 200 strong. all uniformed and wearin: golden chrysan- themums in their caps. outnumbered by two to on - the silverites, whose principal organization wes the *“Whart Rats Union,” composed largely of iongshoremen.

Frank McGowan and Ernest Sevier, ot Eureka, the latter a recent convert from the Democracy, addressed the Repub- licans, while F. A.

The silverites’ meeting was purely a Cutler meeting, but while there w: many Republicans as silverites in the vilion the meeting at Centennial Hall was almost whollv composed of Republicans. Conservative estimates for to-morrow give the county to McKinley by about 300. p L by GILROY GLEEIS MOKEHOUSE. Hundreds Listen to the San Josean’s Tell- ing Arguments. GILROY, Can, Nov. 2,—H. V.

JUDGE HANFORD'S DECISION. Rules That Both Vessels Aided in Rescuing the Foundered Steamship. SEATTLE, Wasgn., Nov. 2.—Judge Han- ford of the Federal court held a special session this evening and decided the fa- mous Strathnevis case, which a few months ago was the talk of steamship men not only in the United States but in the Orient and in Europe. In his decision Judge Hanford swards salvage claims against the Strathnevis, which is a North- ern Pacific ship, amounting to upward of $40,000. The Strathnevis left the port of Tacoma on October 12, 1895, for the Orient. It touched at Victoria, took on a passenger or twa and some freight, and then started on its long journey. On the seventh day out its propeller shaft broke and the ves- sel found itself so thoroughly disabled that it was unable to proceed. Then came on heavy storms and the Strath- nevis was in a bad way, and the news went out that it was Jost. After being out fifty-nine days the Canadian Pacific steam- ship Miowera, running from Vancouver to Australia, encountered the Sirathnevis. At the time the Strathnevis was flying signals of distress. The Miowera sent a man aboard and it was agreed that the Miowera should tow the disabled ship back to Puget Sound. But difficulty was encountered. Several times the hawser broke ana as many times it was repaired, and the Miowera worked many days to get the Strathnevig back to the sound. On December 20 the Strathnevis and Miowera were about forty miles from Cape Flattery. Again the hawser broke, and on December 23, while the Strathnevis and Miowera were sixty- three miles from Cape Flattery, having been unable for several days to make any progress, the two ships got separated. The Miowera searched for some hours for the disabled ship, but was unable to find it. Finally it proceeded on its journey to Australia. About the same time the Mineola, owned by the Pucitic Improvement Com- !l;.nny. and en route to San Francisco from acoma, encountered the Strathnevis, It wae flying signals of distress and the Mineola went o its rescue and succeeded 1n getting the vessel back to Puyget Sound. The Miowera and Mi.neola both hled libels for salvage and the case was argaoed ago. J dge Hanford gives ’s owner $12,000, its captain $1800 and the individual members of the crew sums ranving from $600 to $100 and amounting in all to abon $1.00. He gives the Miowera's owners $18000 and the members of the crew about'$700. in sums of from $500 to $50. The court hoids that the two ships wuich went to the rescue of the Btrathnevis were responsible for its heing saved, and says that altbough the Miowera was compelled to desert the Btrathnevis in the eud, it nevertheless towed the vessel out of immediate danger and placed it where it was saved by another ship. WIFE MUKDErK AND SUICIDE. The Woman Had Deserted Her Husband for the Vaviety Stage, PORTLAND, Mk, Nov. 2.—At about 7:30 o’clock a murder and suicide occurred in the house of Manager Littletield of the Palmer Theater, 69 Pearl street.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., Nov. 2.—The freshman team is practicing now for its game on Saturday with the Berke- ley freshmen. Next to the intercollegiate game on Thanksgiving this is regarded as the most important football match of the season by collegians. The fresh- man eames were inaugurated two years ag), and in both former matchies Berkeley has won. Wuether it can do it again this year remains to be seen. . The team here has donelittle or no prac- tice as a team and was defeated some weeks ago by the Belmont School eleven. At that time, however, the line was even lighter than it is now and several of the players were laid off. With proper train- ing a very fair team shon]dpbe collected from the ‘m ial. During the few days remaining Captain Murphy intends to have his eleven work hard, and he be- lieves they will atleast give the Berkeley players a hard fight for victory. The line is still weak, and Diggles, who is good either for a “‘star’ end or half, has not re- covered the use of his ankle sufficiently to enable him to play. The men who are showing up mest fa- vorably in Euctiu are Murphy, Rusk, McGiivray, Burnett and Madden. Mad- den and McGilvray are theends, and if the lnlerdplay- the game he is able to play he should be not only a good ground-gainer, but a bard man for the opposition to en- circle. Rusk is a good tackle, and Burnett may aiso play that position, though center or guard is his regular place. Murphy is a promising candidate for quarterback of the Varsity, and should certainly give a good account of himself in the freshman match. Scoville 1s another freshman who has shown remarkable aptitude for the game, but he is rather Jight for the posi- tion of halfback, which he will probably be called upon to fill.

HIS BODY HALF CREMATED. The Conflagration Dies Out When the Building Is but Partially Consumed. CAHTO, Car., Nov. 2.—The half cre- mated body of Jonn Mudgett, a wealthy rancher of Usal, was found to-day in the embers of his half-burned home at that place by W. H. Davis, a neighbor. Mud- gett iived alone on an immense tract of land. He was a reputed hoarder of wealth and it was rumored that he had money stored about the house. His body bore unmistakable evidence of death by vio- lence before the flamesr ached him. Both lower limbs are missing. ‘The house had been fired and the con- flagration, after burning for a time, bad been extinguished by lack of a draught. Kerosene oil had been used to start the fire, as two cans hurriedly picked open with a hatchet were among the par- tial ruins. That Mudgett met foul play seemsan assured fact since the discovery that all of his winter supplies are gone. It is wel known that he recently received a large consignment of flour and other provisions necessary to tide him over the winter months. Persons suspected of the crime are under surveillance. The Sheriff and Coroner are expected to arrive on the scene at daylight. The deceased was unmarried, 46 years of age, a native of Belfasi, Me., and had a cousin of the same name in Kortuna, Humboldt County. —_— NEW TO-DAY.

A so-called magician in London has been coining money lately by showing people pictures of their future life. One strong man saw himseif depicted as an aged, worn-out wreck of humanity, brokea down with care. A wonian in robust health saw herse!f transformed into a gloomy invalid. There was a trick about it, of course, but every visitor went away feeling heavy- hearted snd despondent. There are thousands of men and women to-day who would be filled with similar terror if they could only see the future in store for them unless they do something atonce to prevent it. They are nervous, we.k, tired, languid, exhausted in nerye power and physical strength. They are sleepless and awaken tired and unre. freshed, without energy for the day’s WOrk. 3 When people get to feeling like this it plainly shows that theirsystems are badly run down. * These symptoms are the sure signs of malaria, of debility, and the best way to get rid of them is to take a pure medicinal stimulant which will builgd up the strength. The best stimulant is pure whiskey, but it must be absolately pure, and there is only one whiskey—D; s pure malt—which fully answers this de. scripiion. This whi-key drives out ma- laria ana bnilds up the whole system. It makes weak, weary people strong and well. All grocers and druggists keep Duffy’s pure malt whiskey. Taere is _no other whiskgy like Duffy’s, and nothing else that can pessibly take its place. Philadelphia Shoe Co, No. 10 Tumo Sr. STAMPED ON A SHOE MEANS STANDARD OF MERIT ange ication 10 business.
