He spoke of Bayard Taylor as cailing their valley one of the three most beautiful in the world, ranking it with the ancient ley of Damascus and the famous plain of Mexico. He said: The Y. P. S, C.

SANTA CRUZ, Cav., Aprii 16,—The Al- batross returned to this port this after- noon, and E. M.

BANTA CRUZ, CaL, Avpril 16, —W. A. Plummer of San Jose, who was arrested a few days ago by Game Warden Caplatzi for dynamiting trout in Soquel Creek, in this county, appeared by counsel in Jus- tice Boyle’s court at Soquel this afternoon and pleaded guilty. He was fined $100, and the fine was paid with a promptness that indicated the defendant’s desire to get out of the hands of the law as guickly as possible. The game warden has held his position less than ten days, and within a week from the date of his ap- pomntment had made this his first arrest. g ene gt CASTAWAYS OF THE WILLAPA. Picked Up by the Steamer Edith and Taken fo Dyea—Great Joy of the Gold- Hunters. PORTLAND, Or., Avpril 1 The casta- way passengers of the wrecked steamer Willapa, who believea tkat succor would quickly reach them and that they would soon be able to continue tteir voyage to Dyes, have been taken to the latter place by the steamer Edith, which has just a rived back from the trip, says the Even- ing Telegram. According to the story told by the officers of the Edith there was never a boat more heartily welcomed b the stranded gold-hunters thun the Edith when she put in an appearance at Bella Bella. It was not so much the discom- forts which the men were undergoing— for they were prepared to face hardships in the wilds of Alaska, and they' were plentifully supplied with provisions and stores from the wrecked steamer—but every day which they were compelled to stay there was regarded as a day lost ont of the all-too-short season during which they could sccumulate the golden nug- gets. While they were compelled to wait for nearly two weeks in enforced idleness gold-seekers who left the Sound long after the Willapa’s passengers were landed at Dyea and had already begun the long journey over the divide to the belping wWaters of the Yukon, down which they could float to the rich gold fields in the vicinity of Circle City. The days werenot all of idleness, however, for the men were busied duning the earlier period of their imprisonment in saving stores, baggage and in fact anything from the steamer which was not below water. The stories of the looting of the wreck and its subsequent breaking up by the waves are said to be gross exaggerations. The bull of the steamer is stiil said to be in_comparatively good condition, and it will be an easy matter to save her machin- ery with modern wrecking appliances. She is not yet broken, and her engines and boilers are still in position. The miners who were on board saved nearly if not all their personal effects, including provisions and cooking and camp utensils, 80 that but for the loss of ten davs or so they will be enabled to strike the trail in as good condition as their more fortunate brothers who have not suffered the hard- ships of shipwreck at the outset of their unaertaking. The filty passengere who were taken on board the steamer Kdith- were carried straight throngh to Dyea, their original destination. The total loss to the Willapa and cargo, provided there is no effort made to wreck her by the insurance com- panies, is estimated at $60,000, with an in- surance of $28,000. —— BELIEVES THE SAMARIA LOST. Story of Ccptain Dermot of the Barkentine Portlanc—The Vessel He Saw in a Storm. PORTLAND, Or., April 16. —There is a bare possibility that Captain Thomas Der- mot of the barkentine Portland, now load- ing lumber in port, caught a last glance of the missing burk Samaria. If such was the vessel sighted by the Portland, then, as Captain Dermot states it, he has grave fears that the Samaria never rode out the storm, It was on the aiternoon of Friday last, and we were some 3 deg. off the coast and bucking into the worst storm and sea 1 have ever encountered in the Pacific Ocean. Such was the force of the hurn- cane that che atmosphere was filled witn the flying spume, making it a hard matter to sec two ships’ lengths ahead of the Portland. “Suddenly the horizon cleared to the north t and we plainly made out a vessel of about the size and build of the amaria, but so far distant as to be unable to discern any signals had she been flying them. The vessel was laboring feariully in the tremendous sea running. Ever thing forward appeared a-wreck, her h sails being gone and the craft baving broached to. A moment later the flying mist shut down again thick, and the vessel was lost tosight. I cannct say it wasthe Samaria, but as I understand it that vessel would have been near that position at the time. If it was the Samaria, then, with her dead- weight cargo of coal and in her partially dismaniled condition, I have little hope of her ever being heard from again.’’ —_— BATH FATAL MEAK REDWOOD, An Explanation of the Death of Watch- man Melchior Duerst. REDWOOD CITY, CarL., April 16.—The particulars surrounding the death of Melchior Duerst, the watchman at Sears- vilie Lake who was found dead at the foot of the dam yesterday afternoon, were learned to-day. The dam, over which a large stream of waterds flowing, is unfin- iched, it being the intention of the Spring Valley Water Comparfy to increase its height. In its present condition the water, in running over the top. strikes on an abutment, causing the spr: o be thrown high into the air, and thence run- ning off and into the stream some forty feet, below. Duerst had been in the habit of utilizing this spray.for a shower bath, standing on the edee of the dam and allowing the spray to come on to him. When he did not put in an apnearance Wednesday night the officials of the water company were potified. Search was'made, and his clothes were' discovered on the top of the dam. The hole at its foot was dragged and the body found. He probably lost his footing and fell, for it is not thought ne would take his own life. He leavesa widow and two children. He was a member of the Ancient Order of Foresters, and had his life insured for $1000. —_— St. RELENA 10 DISINCORPORATE, Property-Owners Groaning Under Ex- cessire Taxzation. S8T. HELENA, CaL., April 16.—At the last session of the Board of Town Trus- tees, a largely signed petition was handed in by the Town Clerk requesting the dis- coutinuance of the town as a corporation. Many citizens were present, but Mayor Bingham dampened their enthusiasm by referring the petition to a board of exam- iners, commosed of Trustees Hauser, Chbiles and York. The petition will be duly considered and acted upon next Wednesday night. The reasons for disincorporation are the excessive taxes, new licenses, recent or- dinances, and especially the one relating to the paving of Main street, the principal thoroughfare. This, considering the hard times, is deemed unwarranted. It would nearly bankrupt property-owners along the thoroughtare, as the entire cost woald fall on them. The petition to disincorporate and the Board of Trade movement coming at the same time place things in a queer predic- ament. It is doubtful' whether enough strength can be brought to bear on the move to disincorporate to adont it. s - et sl ipworths 1n Session at Chico.'mmm CHICO, Cavn., April 16,—The Sacra- mento District Epworth Leagua is in con- vention here with about 150 members present.

EDITOR SEROAN MAY BE PARDONED Very Romantic Story of Why He Killed Drug- gist Putnam. To Protect the Sacred Honor of a Lady He Pledged His Word. Evidence Before Governor Budd to Prove the Tale—A Com- promising Latter. SACRAMENTO, Cavn., April 16.—It is claimed that within a few days evidence will be laid before Governor Budd which may induce him 1o grant a pardon to Dr. W. A. Sehorn, editor of the Willows Gazelte, wh, sometbing over & year ago, killed J. E. Putnam, a druggist of Wil- lows, and was sentenced to a term of eight years in the State prison, the sen- tence of the Superior Court having been lately affirmed by the Supreme Court of the State. Should the claims made be proved true it will exemplify that Editor Sehorn is a man of honor who, rather than violate his plighted word to a lady, preferred to en- dure the ignominy of the State prison. Briefly the story is as follows: A wealthy¥ young lady of Colusa County, who 1s well known in sweil society circles and whom Sehorn had been acquainted with from her infancy, while visiting in Sacramento received, it is claimed, the following insulting letter from Patnam : WiLLows, Aug. 17, 1894. My Dearest Friend: 1will be down Sunday on my way to the State Convention. Now, my dear friend, I want you to go down to the eity with me Monday. All the other delegates will 0 0n to the city on Sunday, 50 no one will see us. Do not say you will not go, as we can have a good time and no one will ever know it. 1f you cannot go wire me Saturday using the fol- lowing words, “It isoff,” and do notsign any name P Tn her grief and anger she, after pledg- ing Sehorn to eternal secrecy, gave him the letter and in subsequent editorials from his ven he frequently used the words, “Itis off.”’ This gave Putnam to understand that the letter was in his pos- session, and it is claimed that one evening Putnam sprang into the editor’s sanctum and, presenting a pistol at his head, de- manded the epistle. It is claimed that Sehorn remonstrated with him until catching him off his guard he drew his own pistol and drove the druggist from the room, but as he left he is claimed to have said, “I'll kill yon on sight.” All of tnis story Sehorn has, in honor to his plighted word, withheld, but now that no other legal hove remains to keep the prison doors from closing on him, the young lady has demanded that the whole story be presented to the Governor as a proof tbat the killing was an act of self- defense. NEWS OF SAN JOSE. 0'ic Neuhaus, a Roadhouse Proprietor, Sues for Damages for Defama- tion of Character. SAN JOSE, Car., April 16.—0Otto Neun- haus, proprietor of a roadhouse near Los Gatos, to-day began suit in the Superior Court against W. N.

TACOMA, Wasn., April 16.—Tacoma’s City Jail is jammed full this moraing of gamblers, fallen women and their male companions. Chief of Police Hoge getting a tip last night of the fact that Civil Ser- vice ;Commissioner Teats was going to lay formal charges of neglect of duty and incompetence agsinst him, resolved tlo checkmate this if possible by rounding up all offenders against the law. The police were all called in and a general raid made on the gambling-houses and piaces of dis- repute. A number of the houses got wind of the new move and the inmates escaved arrest by closing before the police arrived. Teats charges that Hoge is incompetent and unpractical, without thoughts and ideas and without the executive ability to carry them into force even if he had them, and that he is knowingly permitting young girls to remain in houses of ill- ame and allows messenger-boys to fre- quent such places. Hoge announced after the arrests were made that in future he would compel all the saloons to.remain closed on Sundays. He says if the people want the laws en- forced he will enforce them. In this way be hopes to escape censure and probable dismissal by the Ciyil Service Commission. Ergee LA FIESTA AT 10S ANGELES.

LOS ANGELES, Car., April 16.—Kid Thompson occupied the stand part of the session this afternoon at bis trial for train robbery before Judge Smith. The Kid was not subject to a rigid cross-examina- tion, though, and was soon excused. The defendant showed plainly that he is lab- | oring under excitement, and he - fre. quently broke off in the course of his tes- timony to protest his innocence. “*Before my God, 1 am innocent of this crime,” he said at one time, and then again he declared: “I am innocent of this crime, and if they hang me for 1t they e i Thompson denied all knowledge of the Roscoe robbery, and stuck 1o his original protestations of ignorance about the mat- | ter. The prosecution ciosed its case with F, B. Kennett, who went on the stand before Thompson.

Witness Rohloff Contradics One of His Former Statements. Ruling of the Supreme Court With Which Judge Carroll Cook Disagrees. FRESNO, CaL, April 16,—The jury which is trying Professor W. A. Sanders on acharge of forgery returned at mid- night last night from a visit to the Woot- ton ranch, which is situated in the foot- bilis forty miles east of thiscity. Judee Carroll Cook and the entire court, includ- ing the defendant, accompanied the jury. The day was very warm, and the long ride was a very disagreeabie one. To-day the introduction of testimony began. Charles Rohloff, who was work- ing on the ranch at the timeof Wootton’s disappearance, and who saw the wealthy rancher drive away with Sanders on the afternoon of February 1, 1894, was on the stand the entire day. The most important feature of the pro- ceedings of the day was the statement of Judge Carroll Cook that in his opinion the introdtcetion of all matters not bear- ing directly upon the forgery charge should not be permitted to go before the jury. But in the appeal taken to the Supreme Court by the defendant, when he secured a new trial, that tribunal held that testi- mony connecting Sanders with Wootton’s disappearance was admissible, in that it tended to corroborate the evidence show- ing that the signature of Wootton’s name to the $1400 drait could not be genuine. Judge Cook said that no matter what his own opinion might be he would have to recognize the rulings of the Supreme Court as the law in the case, and, there- fore, allow the testimony which the de- fense claimed was extraneous. The court stated that he wanted the record to show that he permitted the testimony on this ground, as his own views did not conform with those of the Sapreme Judges. Mr. Short objected io the introduction of the indirect testimony shortly after Rohloff was placed upon the stand, as At- torney Hinds for the prosecution immedi- ately began questioning the witness re- garding Woolton’s disappearance rom the ranch on February 1, 1894. Attorney Short bas at all the trials strongly maintained that such evidence was intended to prove Sanders guilty of murder and was not relevant to the for- gery charge. The disagreement of Judge Cook’s opinion with the views of the Supreme Courtis interesting, as the Judge is recoz- nized as one of the best autborities on criminal law in the State. Witness Rohloff made a change in his testimony from that he gave at the last trial. He to-day cont:adicted the former assertion that on his visit to the ranch the week before hé took Wootton away Sanders started home in the afternoon. To-day the witness said it was in the morning. This is important, as the defense have heretofore agreed that the witnesses who saw Sanders driving alone on February 1, presumably after he had hidden Woot- ton’s body, were mistaken as to dates. SAUSALITO FIRE TROUBLES. Citizens State That They Will Start a Fire Department of Their Own for Protection. SAUSALITO, Car., April 16.—Trouble is brewing between the citizens of Sausa- lito who are taking an interest in fire ap- paratus and the regular members of the Sausalito Fire Department. At a mass- meeting of residents held some time since it was left to J. L. Harmes to appoint a committee of five to secure apparatus to use in case of fire. Mr. Harmes appointed the following gentlemen, together with himself, on the committee: J. M. Kil- garif, H. A. Cobb, Thomas ¥rost, Fred Raisch. Information in regard to the expenditure of town money for fire apparatus has been obtained and a breezy little explanation is said to follow. The citizens’ committee has said that they intend to starta fire department of their own and act inde- pendently of the regular department. “After every fire in Sausalito,’” said President Sylva of the Sausalito Fire De- partment to-day, “this same sort of rum- pus is raised and never amounts to any- thing. The hill people are not the ones who take off their coats and fight the fires. They are not here in the daytime, and if a fire broke out then they would not be here to fight it. All this talk won't amount to anything,” The other aide tells a different story. They say that over $20,000 has been ex- peiied for fire protection and the town is sadly in need of proper apparatus. They intend to get at the bottom of the matter. SAUSALITG'S NEW SCHEME. The Town's Prisoners o Be Set at Work Repairing, Grading and Cleaning the Roads.
