S ST SESeSESESTSESrIESsIrSIrSt i w 4 BERKELEY BEATEN BY SANTA CLARA A Splendid Game of Ball on the Stanford Diamond. The - Score- Stosd Five to Three and Oaly Three Errors Were Made. Pitcher Kelly’s Good Work for the Victors—The Four League Teams Are Now Even. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., April 1.—The Uniyersity of California baseball team was defeated by the Santa Clara College team on Sianford’s diamond this afternoon by a'scoreof 5103. The game was & fine exhibition of baseball, with but a total of three errors, two of which were made by the winning team. Santa Clara made her rups in two lonings. Berkeley was unable to score up to the last half of the ninth inning. By some well-played hits they brought three over the home base. pitched his usual good game for the victorious team. Up to the last inning but three hits were made off his delivery. The college boys got five more hitsin the ninth, however. Ha struck out four men | and gave one man his base on balls. Connor, Britle, Leake, Garnettand King | also played excellent ball for the Santa Clara nine.” King accepted in fine style two difficult flies in center ‘field, which | called forth merited applause from the | sudience. King and Hoag of Berkeley | carried off the honors in fielding. Kaarsberg pitched for the University of | California. He is not noted for speed, but | he has several effective curves, his “‘drop” being especially puzziing, Seven hits were scored against him. Both sides would have got. more base hits had not the pitchers been given excellent’ support. Kaarsberg struck out two men and gave-! three their base on balls. He made one wild pitch. Wheelerof last year’s- Varsity team caught him in good shape. He mude several pretty throws to second, Hennessey, who has Just recovered from a sprained ankle, played first base. H understands the position well, but wa: ratber weak &t the hat. By Santa Clara winning this game the four teams of the league are pus ona level. Itis difficuit fo draw a comparison between Stanford and Berkeley at present, as Stan- ford defeated the team that b-at Berkeley to-day and the Oiympic team won from Stanford, who in turn was defeated by | Berkeley.

Line to Be Established Between That City and Lower California and Mexi- can Forts. LOS ANGELES, Cavn., April 1L.—After much discussion and a volurinous corre- spondence upon the subject by leading merchants of this city and its three com- mercial organizations, Los Angeles it soemis is-to enjoy regular freight steamer transpartation with Lower California on the same terms as San Francisco. In fact, tuis ‘city has already commenced this trade, and three weeks ago made a ship- ment of about 130 tons of merchandise, purchased here, from San Pedro to Ensen- ada. The shipment was made by schooner. Hereafter these shipment will be made by the regular steamers of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. The Pacific CoastSteamship Company runs a regular monthly steamer from San Francisco down the coast as far as Mazat- lan, but the company has never been wiliing to make a stop ata Los Angeles port, there being no esiablished trade irom here. The only way in svhich ship- ments conld be made from this aity -to Mexican ports was tp send merchandise to San. Francisco and then reship from there. Of course it was impossible to build up a trade or maintain one under such conditions. Recently S. B. Hynes, general manager of the Terminal Railway Company, nas been giving this matter of Mexican trade some very close attention, and to his efforts rather than to any other cause is to be .credited the favorable resait ob- tained.: It came to Mr. Hynes' atiention that Senor H. Moorken: member of the State Council of Lower Caltfornia and an extensive commission merchgnt at En- senada and San Quintin, wou?d purchase a-considerable quantity of xoods in Los Angeles if he could land them in Lower fornfa without - greater cost to him than if purchased in San Francisco. Moorkens ascertained that he could do so, and thus the business was launched, and promises to be a great success, Six’ furl ngs, Abe ydam' second, Waldor! third, el Erangelist Johnson’s Libel Suit. LOS ANGELES, CaL,, ApnilL—The suit of Rev. I. T. Johnson against the Fresno Republican for $25000 was called in the United States Court this morning and co: tinued until Tuesday. R Johnson is the evangelist who caused a sensation in Fresno some ti ago. The Republican stated that Johnson had made slanderous statements regarding the virtue of Fresno young women, which statements, he as- serts, were not made by him, the paper's publication being the founaation of the Dresent suit. The same state of facts exisis as regards a similar suit .against. the Fresno Expositor. CONSTERNATIOH Of THE PHILADELPHI The Cruiser Is Ordered to Proceed at Once to ~ Honolulu. 1 | Japanese on Sugar Piantations in D:adly Corfl ct With the Natives. Officers of th- Flagship Had Been Az- ticipating a Season of Fes- tivity. S8AN DIEGO, CAv., April1.—About half- past 3 o'clock this afternoon a launch pulled alongside the flagship PhiladelpLia to where she was lying off the Coronado wharf and a few minutes later Admiral Beardslee was reading & cipher dispatch from the Secretary of the Navy, which, being interpreted, gave orders to coal up and take provisions and equipment imme- diately, enough to. last six months, and proceed with all dispatch for Honolulu at the earliest possible date. | The order created corsternation aboard | the flagship. Many of the officers had been looking forward with pleasurable anticipation to at least athree weeks' stay at San Diego befure going north to join | in the Golden Gate Carnival festivities, which open May 3. Captain Cotton had all his trunks packed and was ready to | leaye for the East, and the command of | the Philadelphia was to be turned over to a junior captain for the time, but now he will proceed to Honolulu: with his vessel. Chaplain Edmuudson is in a peck of trouble. His wife was to meet him here, and to-night he wired her to stay where she was, for the present at least, only to receive an answer that she was already on her way here. To-night the stewards, purchasing and | equipment officers are busy laying in stores and supplies for the cruise, and in the morning at 8 o’clock the Philadelphia will begin takine on 800 tons of coal from the Spreckels bunkers. The vessel needs some slight overhauling and ought to re- ceive a coat of paint, but. these matters will be put off for the present. She will ‘wail Wednesday morning and expects to reach Honolulu four days later, on the 11th. The officers are very reticent concerning the orders received, but it was learned to- night that there has been an insurrection of the Japanese on one of Mr. Spreckels’ big sugar plantations and that several na- tives have been killed within the past ten days. The Philadelphis being the tastest warship on the Pacific Coast, #s well as tue most available, has been therefore probably selected to protect American iu- terests on the island. Woodland’s Grand Parlor Delegation. WOODLAND, CAL., April 1.—Woodland Parlor No. 30, N. 8. G. W., elected H. W. Langenour and E. B. Hayward last night as delegates and K. M. Brown and T. G.

LOS ANGELES, Carn., April L—With the aid of a Chinese interpreter Judge Smith united in marriage Wong Sal Fee and Hung Yet Tor and Wong Kim and Chow Fung this noon. The Juage, asked the couple to join their rizht hands and stand up. Then turning to the groom he began: “Do you take this woman to be your lawfui wife?” Fee grasped the meaning and readily Then the Judge n to address the bride. He had not uttered more than half a dozen words when he was informed that the poung lady was entirely ignorant of the Englhish langoage. Tois puta stop to the proceedings. “We must have an interpreter,” said the Judge. “T want this woman to know what she is doing.’” Coionel Know volunteered to act as.mes- senger, and-rushed out. Ina few moments he returned with not only an interpreter but another celestial couple, who also wished to be married. The ceremony of uniting the first pair was vontinucd, and when they were pronounced man and wife the Jucge ordered Fee to kiss his bride. But the latter demurred; the bride blushed and toddied to one side, where she would not be quite so conspictous. Then Judge Smith performed a like ser- vice for the second pair, and ail departed bappy as larks. The newly wedded couples are all members of the Chin ese 400, — - A RAILKEOAD FUR SALE.

No bid of less than $5,000,000 will be en- tertained by the auctioneer, Owen N.

Judge Sterry, solicitor for the Atlantic and Pacific and the Southern California railways, has just returned from a trip o Albuquergue. He was scen to-day in his office by a CALL correspondent and said: “‘As you know, the Atlantic and Pacific runs from Albuquerque to The Needles.

FRANTIC DEED OF A LINDEN MAN Fires Two Shots Into His Divorced Wife's Breast. Then Turns the Weapen Upon Himself but Comes Out Unscathed. Caught While Trying to Escape—The Woman May Recover—Jzalousy the Cause. STOCKTON, CAL., April L—At 8 o’clock this' morning James Douglass, a laborer residing at Linden, shot .and seriously wounded his divorced wife, whom he ac- cused with intimacy with other men. The shooting occurred at Mrs. Douglass’ home in that town. Douglass entered the house shortly before the hour named and immediately began to abuse her, declar- ing that since the divorce, which was granted about a year sgo, she had been too familiar with other men. He de- clared that if he could not live with her they would both die together, and, 50 says ing, he drew a revolver and fired two pul- lets into her left breast in the region of the heari. Witha scream she threw up her arms and fell to the floor, and the would-be murderer instantly turned the weapon upon himself and emptied the pistol, but not one of the leaden missiles struck him, although the revolver was heid o close that his clothing was powdex- burned. & ‘Thinking that the prostrate form before him was dead Douglass, after failing ir his attempt to take his own life, fled into the country, making his way toward the foothills of the Sierras. George Botts, & Deputy Sheriff, and a man pamed Frank Beaver staried.in pursuit, and before the fugitive had gained two miles they over- took him and compelled him to surrender. He was brought back to Linden. 1t is known that he was intensely jeal- ous of kis formner wife, who is rather good-looking, about 35 years old, and that his suspicions rested upon several persons, but ay Linden it is believed that he ac- cused her unjustly. He had been in the habit of visiting the house to see their two little children, a boy and a girl, ared re- spectively .about 4 and 6 years. Two or thres weeks ago he called av the house and in a fit of jealous rage attacked Mrs. Douglass and choked her aimost to death. The wounds inflicted this morning were examined by Dr. Wing of Linden, #ho ex- tracted the two bullets. He is of the opinion that wen Mrs. Douglass threw up her arms, at the instant the shots were fired, the’action of the.muscles of the breast deflected the leaden missiles from their course enough o make them glance, and thus they were prevented from enter- ing the cavity of the chest and piercing the heart.. Asit was, the wounds-though serious are not fa Fureka Lady Swaliow: & Pin. | McCarthy. met with a peculiar accident the other day, which may prove serious. In an unguarded moment she swallowed a pin, whigh stuck in her throat, and all efforts to locate or dislodge it have so far beén unavailing. e “«POPE AND PEOPLE.” Father Xorke Delicers an Interesting Leoture at Stockton.
