FAMINE COMES AFTER FLOODS People of Northern Towns Find Their Larders Empty. Washouts Prevent the Bringing In of Needed Supplies of Provisions. Driving Snowstorm Adds to the Dis- tress of Those Who Lost Their Homes. SEATTLE, Wasn., Nov. 20.—Ten New York Chinese passengers on the Great Northern train No. 3, tied up by washouts between Wellington and Madison, arrived in Seattle to-day. Through an interpreter they said that while on the train they were given two meals a day until at the end of four days food supplies gave out. The Chinese then walked seven miles through the snow to a railroad section- house, where they were supplied three meals a day. Making their way to the connection road where it was in operation, the Mongolians were taken over the Great Northern back to Spokane and thence to Tacoma on the Nortbern Pacific and to this city via the steamer Kingston. From here they o to China via the steamship Kinshui Maru. Owing to the crippled condition of the Great Northern and the Everett and Monte Cristo railroads, there is liable to be a serious famine in towns in the Cas- cades flooded district. In fact. a Sultan City merchant, here to purchase supplies, said that it has already begun. On this subject the Times’ Snohomish special s, “The first party of 200 miners who leit Monte Cristo early in the week to walk out to the lower town reached hore yester- day. The reason for this wholesale exodus of miners is lack of provisions in the | mountain stores. ¥rom reports of the condition. of the Everett and Monte Cristo Railroad it is evident that it will be three weeks at least before they can get a_train to Monte Cristo. Su intendent Foster has several hundred men working night and day. Al the big mines at Silverton, Goat Lake and Monte Cristo have followed the example of the Monte Cristo Mining Company and sent out their men until the railroad could bring in more provisions.” The article continues: ‘“Ranchers in Snohomish Valley have suffered greatly. There are from 300 to 400 farmers who are losers from the flood. Their losses range from a few head of siock 1o the loss of their entire personal property. ‘‘Reports of narrow escapes and remark- able experiences continue to come in. Morgan Morgans, a well-known marsh- land ranc er, had a novel and rather hun- ry experience. He left his house on igh land to go to a barn a short distance out on the marsh to feed his stock. While away the water got over the dy and he was unable to get back to the house. The current around the barn was so strong that the buildiag could not be reached with a raft, and he was compelled to re- main about forty hours without food.” Lyon Relfe, formerly assistant secretary ©oi the Chamber of Commerce of this city, is another first-class passenger who aban- doned the Great Northern passenger train 8 on Baturday, after it got stranded the Friday previous between Madison ana Wellington. He made this statement to- night concerning the affair: ‘“‘After stranding the train Conductor Scoville went to Weilington to look after food supply. BSoon after his arrival there he sent back a telegram by messenger to the train staring that he had, while at ‘Wellington, received a dispatch announc- ingz that it would be one week before the train could be got out; that it was his desire that the passengers come to Wel- lington and stop there attherailroad com- pany’s expense. As Wellington is a small town and provided with bat few accom- modations a number of passengers, ray- self among them, concluded to take chances on walking out and did so. There were a number of ladies aboard the train when we left.” For the first time since the disastrous washouts the Northern Pacitic sent out from Seattle at 9:30 o’clock to-night an eastbonnd overland train, this event being preceded an hour or o iy a poster swing- ing from the doorway of tue general offices announcing that **All Northern Pa- cific trains will arrive and depart irom Se- attle on time.” Tickets were sold subject to transfer at Trout Lake, Montana. = SNOW AND HIGH WIND. Oregom and Washington Are Swept by a Driving Storm. - PORTLAND, Oz., Nov. 20.—A driving snowstorm struck Portland this morning, and it is snowing generally over the Wil- lamette Valley and parts of Oregon and Washington. The gale comes round- about from Montana and British terri- tory. At Havre, Mont., it 18 38 degrees below zero, 4 below at Helena, 42 at Bis- marck, N. ., and 30at Kdmonton, B. C. The temperature was below freezing point here last night. The weather bu- reau says that by to-morrow it will be raining again. Thirty-mile-an-hour gales revail off the coast. The snowfail is so Ee-vy in Montana that a blockade of trains is feared. The regular train service has * been resumed on all the lines entering Poridand except the Southern Pacific. The water is going down on their tracks. The storm will canse great distress in districts where farm dwellings and out- buildings were carried away by high water. FACTORY FUR STOCKTON. Road Motors Operated by Gasoline Engines Wili Be Manufactured in That city. STOCKTON, Car, Nov. 20.—It is pos- sible that a new factory may be built on the north side of Stockton Channel, oppo- site the Crown Flour Miil and a short dis- tance back from the water. The site is . owned by the Holt Manufacturing Com- pany and consists of four lots which front on & blina slough. In case the fac- tory is erected the slough will be dredged and converted into a wide channel, so boats can steam up to the factory door. A year or more ago the Holts were thinking of adding to their works on Sac- ramento and Church streets a department for the manufacture of bicycles, and one of the brothers went East to inspect the bieycle factories there. He came back w.th the announcement that the business, if not overdone, was being handled so ex- tensively that a factory here wonid bardly pay. Theidea was abandoned, but since then the company has been experiment- ing on road motors and has devised a car- nage woich is propeiled by an engine operated by gasoline. ¥ Similar carriazes are being used in Great and France, and as tae business of making them is increasing there, the Holt brothers propose to commence the manu- facture of motors soon, 80 as to be Lhe first in_that field on this coast. The first motors will probaoly be turned outin the works on Church and Sacra- mento streets, but.those gquarters are already so crowded that the firm quite re- cently buiiv a laree warehouse near by. and is now putting up another building to be used as a founary. If the new indus- try proves a success, as they believe it will, a separate factory for the manufacture of motors will be erected on t! e property on the north side of Stockton Channel, A small gasoline engine weighinv only six- teen poands and adapted to be attached to the ordinary bicycle as a_motor, will also be manufactured by the firm. FEAR HUNTINGTON'S POWER. ‘| Los Angeles Citizens Aiarmed by His Ac- tivity in Opposing the Free Harbor Scheme. - LOS ANGELES, CaL, Nov. 20.—No little apprehension has been caused among the free harborites by the report from New York that Collis P. Huntington bas al- ready had an interview with the Harbor Commission, which is to meet bere next month to decide whether $3,000,000 appro- priated by Congress for a Geep-sea harbor in Southern California shall be expended at San Pedro or Santa Mon It is feared that Huntington, by thus taking time by the forelock, may have created prejudice in the minds of the commissioners in favor of his pet project of having the Gov- ernment bwld a $3,000,000 breakwater to protect his big wharf at Santa Monica. It is felt, at any rate, that he has secured a decided advantage by getting the first go at the commissioners. : As the time for the convening of the commission here araws near, the feeling grows more intense, and it 1s feared the batiles of the lust few years will have to be fought over. The Chamber of Com- merce bas voted to place its rooms at the disposal of the commissioners, and will afford them every facility for gathering data and information. T. E. Gibbon, the attorney of the Terminal road, is busy amassing information for the guidance of the board. The representatives of the Santa Monica interests are also at work. Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern Paucific is on the ground, and it is consid- ered quite probable that Huntington will be | here also about the time the commission- ers assemble. — WAR ON SAN JGSE MEDICOS. | Secret Societies to Boycott Local Physicians | Because of a Dispute Over Rates. SAN JOSE, CaL., Nov. 20.—There are | prospects of war between the physicians and secret societies of this city, owing to to the refusal of the former to act as | special physicians for the societies at a | rate below that agreed upon by the Medi- | cal Society. It has been a custom with each society to elect some physician who is a member of the order as medical examiner, giving him ali the patronage of the society. The | rate has generally been fixed at a certain amount for each examination—a per capita for all the members of the order. Several of the physicians did a great deal of this work, but it cut too heavily into the practice of the other doctorsand ata recent meeting of the medicos it was de- cided to abolish the custom. This aroused the ire of the societies and a movement has been set on foot to co- operate in bringing a physician from San Francisco and giving him tke entire patronage of the members of the fraternal societies and their families. The move- ment is saia to have started in the Sons of St. George. Ata meeting of Garden City Lodge, A. O. F., last night, F. W. Hogan, J. E. Ducoing and W. Gee were appointed a committee to work with other lodges in procuring such a physician. Lo R GOVERNOR BUDD'S SCHEME. Favors the Combining of San Quentin and Folsom Frisons at the Latter Place. STOCKTON, Car., Nov. 20.—It is ru- mored that Governor Budd has in view some very important changes in the vari- ous State institutions, and that he will recommend these changes strongly to the attention of the coming Legislature. First of these is the scheme mentioned in THE CaLL several weeks ago for the removal of the feeble-minded from Glen Ellen to Whittier and the Whittier inmates to Glen Ellen, with the except:on of the girt inmates, who will probably be sent to the Preston School. Thes Gler Ellen institu- tion is surrounded by spacious grounas, in which boy inmates can be constantly emploved and become in a mea:ure self- sustaining. This cannot be d.ne at ‘Whittier, as the area of the grounds is too prescribed, and another reason is that Glen Ellen is the beau-ideal location for an institution of a penal nature, as owing to the topographv ot the surrounding country the chances of escape from the institution are greatly reduced. . It is believeg that the Governor will strongly recommend the removal of San Qaentin prison to Folsom and the com- bining of the two institutions into one. This will result in a great saving to the State, and will insure the steady emuloy- ment of all convict wards of the State in the inexhaustible granite quarries, SnEE T AL CRASHED INTO A PIEk, Acoident to the Ferry Steamship Tiburon Across the Bay. SAN RAFAEL, CaL, Nov. 20.—The steamer Tiburon on arriving at her land- Ing at 4:30 o’clock this afternoon was so far swerved from her course by the swift tide that she missed the slip and struck theend of the pier. She cut her way through a numboer of piles and slightly damaged her bow. One of her boats was dislod -ed from the davits. A loaded truck was upset on the deck, but no one was hurt and the total damage was slight. Captain White was not in charge, he being ill. First Mate Paulsen was in charge. The steamer hsd to turn and go back some way to get new bearings to make the slip. —_——— San Jose Pioneer Dead. SBAN JOSE, CaL, Nov. 20.—Geraud Promis, a pioneer of this State, died at his home in this city vesterday. He was a native of Bordeaux, France. At the age of 17 years he went to South America, whence he came to California in 1849, He at once went to the mines, but safter a short time returned to 8an Francisco and engaged in the mercantile business. At the outbreak of the gold excitement on Fraser River he went to British Columbia and remained there until 1873. He then removed to this city and established a crockery business, which is now con- ducted by his son. A widow and five chil- dren survive him. Petaluma Anti-Saloon Leagur. PETALUMA, CaL, Nov. 20.—A tem- perance society is being organized to form a branch of the American Anti-Saloon League, which has for its object the union of various temperance orianiznivnu. 80 as to strengthen the canse.

Blnhm;n, ROE WILL DIE BY THE ROPE Napa Jurors Convict Him of the Murder of Mrs. Greenwood. Verdict Reached on the First Ballot After a Brief Deliberaticn. “I Don’t Care; I Am Satisfied,” the Assassin’s Unconcerned Comment. NAPA, Car., Nov. 20.—William M. Roe, alias William Moore, will die on the gal- lows. After a brief deliberation twelve jurors this afternoon pronounced him guilty of the murder of Mrs. John Greenwood in this city in 1891. There was THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1896. names. With reference to the good char- acter of the defendant the attorney re- ferred to the good character that Theo- dore Durrant always sustained up to the time of his committing that crime of crimes in the belfry of a San Francisco church. ““We have traced Moore while he was in Napa on the 9th day of February, 1891," he continued. ‘‘Now let us examine his movements while he Was 1n the southern portion of the State.” He spoke of the confession made to Mrs. Weyse, saying that if the defendant had wished to proclaim himself a whole- sale murderer he would not have taken Mrs. Weyse aside from all others and to a private apartment and there made his confession, but would have proclaimea it broadcast. There were two classes of per- sons that told the truth, he said, and these were drunken persons and children. Strong drink had often cansed great suf- fering, but this was one of the cases where strong drink bas been the means of bring- ing a criminal to justice. The facts stated in the confessions were carefully com pared with the facts proved by the evidence. The charge to the jury was made by Judge Murphy, who spoke of the duties devolving upon jurors; of the laws that must be upheld and the nature of the laws governinz the case. The jury retired at 3:30 o’clock to consider the verdict. WOUDLAND CHILD MISSING. Abducted by Its Mother, Who Had Lost 1t in Divorce Proceedings. WOODLAND, CarL, Nov. 20.—Quite a sensation was created in this city to-day by the announcement that Mrs. Hattie Lowe, the divorced wife of Obe A. Lowe, a wealthy farmer residing near here, had William M. Roe, alias Moore, Convicted at Napa of the Muzder of Mrs. John Q. Greenwood in 1891. no recommendation of mercy, and the verdict means that society is soon to be rid of a dancerous assassin, unless by the process peculiar to California lawthe deal- ing of justice is delayed or finally defeated. When the verdict was being announced Roe gave no outward maniiestation of that painful anxiety which would natur- ally possess a man whose life hinged on the words that feil from the lips of the foreman of the jury. Carelessiy resting his head upon his left hand the prisoner llstened to the jurors as they were called. As “That is my verdict’ was answered by each of the twelve his position did not change. “ldon’t care; 1 am satisfied,”” he re- marked unconcernedly as he was being led back to his cell. The jury had been out something over an hour when the courthouse bell sounded, which was the signal that the twelve judges were ready to return to the court- room. The strests were soon filled with men running toward the courthouse, and within & few minutes the room was crowded to overflowing. People had been sianding on the streets in the vicinity of courthouse for hours in order that they might gain entrance to the courtroom. Before the jury was brought in, the Judge admonished the crowd to be quiet, what- ever the verdict might be. The twelve jurors then slowly filed into the courtroom. Although the room was so crowded, there was nearly perfect silence. It was almost taken for granted that, as the jurors had so quickly arrived at a verdict, there could be no other find- ing than murder in the first degree, Clerk N. W. Collins asked if a verdict had been agreed upon. Receiving an affirmative answer he took from Foreman W. H. Lake the paper on which the verdict was writ- ten. After recording the verdict the clerk read it aloud, asking if that was the ver- dict agreed upon. The verdict was, “*Guilty of murder in the first degree.” At the request of the attorneys for the de- fense the jury was polled. Each answered that that was his verdict. By the consent of the attorneys next Tuesday at 10 A. M. was the time fixed for sentencing the murderer. Judge Murphy, after thanking the jurors for their con- scientious performance of auty, adjourned court until that hour. Most of the day was consumed by the closing arguments of the attorneys. The defendant appeared as little concerned as the most disinterested spectator. When damaging assertions were made he was busily engaged in perusing the San Fran- cisco morning papers. “It is not 1y purpose,” said District Attorney Gesford, “to d scuss the testi- mony at length, for the evidence, it seems to me, is most conclusive of the guilt of the defendant. For years the officers have sought themurderer of Mrs. J. Q. Green- wood. Gentleman of the jury, he has been foun !. He isin this courtroom. I don’t say this because I have any animos- ity toward this man, but because I repre- sent the people, and this man is on trial. One verdict and only one can be rendered, and that is one of murder in the first de- gree.” Then followed an exhaustive review of the testimony and a strong plea for the administration of justice. Mr. Gesford described minutely how Moore's steps were traced on the 8th and 9th of Febru- ary, 1801, and told of the positive testi- mony of Stemmle, Mrs. Holland and Jacob Shorer in identifying Moore as a man seen in Napa on the night of the murder. He referred to the many times that Moore has changed his pame, and said that a man with a character spotless, with a rep- utation unsullied, would not wish any other name than that given by the father and the mother; that only those persons ashamed of their past life assume fictitious disappeared, taking with ber the six-year- old daughter of the couple. Diligent search has been made for the liitle one for more than a week, but nothing has been heard of her or her mother. ‘When Mr. Lowe obtained the divorce it was stipulated that the father should have the custody of little Lucile, the only child. It was further siipulated that Hattie Lowe, the mother, could take the child to live with her for a stated period every year. A short time ago Mrs. Lowe came up from San Francisco to visit her mother, Mrs. George Eustice. She sent for her child and the two remained at the Eustice farm until November 10, when they disappeared. None of the relatives or friends have seen them. Mr. Lowe has searched both this county and San Francisco, but could obtain no trace of them. SR L PASADENA MAIL THIEVES. Fourteen Boxes on Street Corners Robbed of “Their Contents and Destroyed. PASADENA, Can, Nov. 20. — Mail thieves made a raid on Pasadena last night. In the east and west sides of the city the United States mail boxes were not only pried open and sifled of their contents, but in many cases completely demolished, and in some instances the wooden posts supporting them were broken off close to the ground. Fourteen boxes were looted. All but one on South Orange Grove ave- nue, all on West California, atl on Lincoln avenue and two on Grand avenue were emptied. The remnants of four torn rain- soaked letters were all that were found. The only trace of the robbers is revealed by the report of a servant-girl, who was aroused at 2 A. M near Marengo and Colo- rado streets. Looking from her window she saw a man engaged in opening the box there, while his companion held a borse uitched to a buggy. Phiilip Buch, going home from night work about 24. M., also saw the men with the buggy. The plumbing establishment of George T. Downing was entered during the night and $50 worth of tools taken. With these, itis believed, the work was done. The boxes were opened with a cold chisel evi- dently and sp'it from end to end. Itis not thought probable that much of value cou!d have been obtained. Under-Sheriffs C ement and Marsh arrived from Los An- geles this afternoon and are working on the case. s p e SHOOTING NEAK CANYONVILLE. Officer in Pursuit of an Escape Is Am- bushed and Wounded. CANYONVILLE, Or, Nov. 20.—While Constables Higgins and Riley were hunt- ing for Robert Hinman, an escaped pris- oner from the Roseburg jail, they came near where he was concealed on Piney Mountain, two miles west of Riddle, Or., this afternoon. Hinman, sighting the deputies first, raised from behind a log and oypened fire on them, the shot taking effect in Higgins' thigh, making a prob- ably fatal wound. Higgins returned the shot after he was down, without effect. Hinman escaped. Higgins was taken to Riddie. — Fancouver Railway Project. VANCOUVER, B. C., Nov. 20.—The corporation ot Vancouver has been noti- fied that the Great Northern Company has bought the Northern Pacific under foreclosure, consequently the contract be- tween t..e Northern Pacific and the pro- jected Burrard Inlet and Fraser Valley road is off. The promoters of the Vic- toria, Vancouver and Eastern railroad to Kootenay from the coast, in Vanconver, are jubilant to-night over the belief that all serions opposition to their road is now at an end. The Burrard Inlet and Fraser Valiey Railroad had blocked legisiation for a road from the British Columbia coast to the mines. ——a, Heno Suspro's Leguitted, RENO, Nzv., Nov. 20.—James Porter and Thomas Halkett, arrested on August 9 for attempting to wreck a Southern Pa- cific train near Reno, were uo%uhud by a jury in the District Court here to-day after four and a half hours’ deliberation. 5 THIS BURGLAR - WEARS SKIRTS Santa Rosa Homes Looted by a Tall Woman in, Black. A Comely Prowler, Who Keeps Housewives in a State of Fear. Makes a Business ot Entering Dwell- ings and Helping Herself to Valuables. SANTA ROSA, CaL., Nov. 20.—A pretty female stalking abroad in the night, en- tering houses while their owners slept, ab- stracting valuables from their hiding- places and carrying them away! Really, the new woman has come to Santa Rosa, and she’s the newest of them all. For about two weeks there has been a reign of terror among housewives, and each morning brought the news of two or three attempts at housebreaking during the previous night. Theoperations of the nocturnal visitor were somewhat peculiar, and led the police to believe that it was the work of an amateur, or at least a very timid professional. To-day two daylight raids were made, each yielding a small sum of money; and a tall, handsome woman, dressed in black, is known to be the thief. She was seen to enter the residence of Herbert Moke and, after remaining a few minutes, depart. Mrs, Moke heard some one about the house, but believed it was her husband. On being told of the visit of the woman in black, she at once looked to her stock of valuables, only to find that her purse was missing. Mrs. William Morris received a call from the tall woman this morning, and while the servant girl went to inform her mistress of the presence of a calier, the stranger succeeded in abstracting the Morris family purse and a few trinkets, and wmade good her escape. That ail the recent attempts at house- breaking are the work of the tall womaa in black is now certain, and many timid people here will sleep easier to-night after hearing that the desperate burglar who bas caused them so much alarm is a hand- some woman. DEFRAUDED MODE>MIO PEOPLE, - Crimes of :hs Young Canfidence Man Arrested at Santa Kosa. SANTA ROSA, Can, Nov. 20.—Harry Patterson, the young man arrested here last evening on a charge of embezzlement committed st Modesto, proves to have been the right person, despite his loud assertions ol innocence. Deputy Sheriff T. F. Kiernan of Stan- islaus County arrived here to-night and as soon as he laid eyes upon Patterson he declared that no mistake had been made and that he would soon land the smooth young man where he could not singina choir or borrow money from the members of the congregation. Patterson went by the name of Harry Hardy while in Mo- desto_and used the time-worn story of “remittances from England” to obtain money from various kind-hearted people. While here he rented a bicycle and tried to give it to his landlady as security for a board bill and in various ways attempted to obtain money from members of the Christian Courch, not excepting the pas- tor. Officer Kiernan will leave here with his prisoner on the first train fo-morrow. LA Astoria’s Uldest Pilot Dead. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 20.—Captain Phil Jonnson, the oldest of local river pilots, and at present harbormaster of this port, was examined to-dsy before the County Court as to his mental condition and pro- nounced insane. For some time past his been peculiar, ana at times lent nature as to cause con- siderable alarm in his household. He has imagined that some enemy was seekin his life and fought one or two fanciful battles recently with an ax for a weapon, during which he worked himself into a frenzied state. Whether he will be sent to Balem or placed under the careof a uardian _has not yet been determined. aptain Johnson is 76 years of age ana arrived in this city in 1848, —— San Jose Offenders Sentenced. SAN JOSE, Cav., Nov. 20.—Carlo Moris- sinni, who stabbed Bonifacio Nicoletti in the back with a pocket-knife, was to-day sentenced to four months in the County Jail on a charge of assault to commit murder. The cutting arose over Nicoletti refusing the defendant a pipeful of to- bacco. Charies Yoatz, who stole a horse and cart from W. M. Flack a few months ago, was to-day sentenced to one y-ar's imprisonment at San Quentin by Judge Lorigan. il R HILLSBORG TRAIN-WRECKERS. Attempt to Derail the California Over- land and Hurl It From an i Embankment. HILLSBORO, Or., Nov. 20.—An st- tempt was made to wreck the California overland train last night. The keybolt of a switch was broken and the switch set so that the train going west would sidetrack, but the train going East would pitch over & high embankment. The westbound train was the first to ap- | proach. The engineer was acquainted | with the station and the sigetracks, so | that when the locomotive took the siding | he knew something was wrong and threw his lever over. The heavy passengertrain | plunged on, but was under control and stopped before the open switch at the west end of the sidetrack was reached. A . frightful accident would have resuited if the train had come from the other direc- tion and gone over the embankment. e T THAT AIRSHIP AGAIN. (00000000000000000CO0C000 Sacramento People Once More See Mys- terious Lights Passing Over the City. SACRAMENTO, Car., Nov. 20.—Unless scores of residents in the eastern portion of the city have gone suddenly daft the mysterious serial visitant which passed over the city Tuesday night is still haunt- ing this locality, and people here are be- coming more and more convinced that it | is an airship of some kind, which is mak- ing nightly trial trips through the sur- | rounding heavens. Men whose veracity cannot be doubted declare that the mysterious electrical | light repassed the city far to the north- | ward, going in a northeasterly direction, as though to the point from which it first came, This evening several persons de- | clare that they plainly saw the mysterious | lights movingthrough the airata great dis- tance from the earth, and they declare that from their movement they must have been atiached to some air craft. They at one time moved directly into the wind and again started off at various tangents. | To-night’s reports have as yet not been verified, but that the mysterious lights | repassed the city, going northeast, on | ‘Wednesday night cannot be gainsaid, and the belief grows apace that some for- | tunate mortal has solved the mystery of aerial travel, has constructed his vessel in some quiet spot and is making a thorough | tesu of its capacities before presenting it to the view of an incredulous public. e A o6, PAIMLEY BA 1T’S FATE. 4lbert Wilson Sentenced to Three Years in the Penstentiary. | PORTLAND, Oz., Nov. 20.—Albert Wil- son, convicted of the robbery of the Pais- ley postoffice, was sentenced to three years in the Oregon penitentiary and to pay a fine of $1 by United States Judge Bellinger this afternoon.
