VENTURA, Car., May 5.—The second day’s session of the Woman’s Parliament | ovened 8t 10 o’clock this morning with a very large number of ladies in attendance.

Mrs. Mary Sheriff The subject was “Camping.”” Mrs. Fowler wasunable to be present, therefore the time for this paper was given over to hearing accounts of camping trips taken by the various women of the parliament. Mrs. O. V. Sessions of Hueneme gave | an interesting account of a six mouths’ | trip she had taken through Southern Cali- fornia. Her description of the *‘house on wheels,” which was built for the occasion, proved that with a little thought and careful planning in this direction much pleasure and comfort may be added to a car that brought her from Forest Grove | CATPIAE trin. Rachel Reid of Pasadena very de- | lightfully described a trip she had taken | up Wilsons Peak, 1n Los Angeles County. Others followed, proving to all that camp life was a benefit as well as a great pleasure to the women of Southern Cali- fornia. Alice J. Merritt of the State Normal School, Los Angeles, was introduced, ana gave an interesting talk on the subject of ‘‘California Wildflowers.”” She had brought with her several varieuies of wild- flow: which were disiributed among those present, and she confined her re- marks mostly to the growth and castoms of these particular flowers. After a gen- eral discussion of this subject, Mre. M. Burton Willlamson of Los Angeies read an excellent paper, the subject of which was *‘Shells.” Mrs. Williamson handled her subject well and brought out points in shell study that are ofien overlooked, but ars most interesting and instructive. This closed the programme and a most interesting | and instructive meeting.

BAUSH OF SANTA ROSA Says the Trouble With Mr. Fish Springs From the Construction of a Writ- ten Contract. SANTA ROSA, CaL., May 5.—The start- ling story that a charge of perjury had been preferred against J. H. Brusn, presi- ders himselt :\ltrouble about the latter being ordered to|aent of the First National Bank of this city, was read in to-day’s CALL with great astonishment by the people of this vi- | einity. It secms, however, that the arti- cle mn guestion was wrong in saying that the controversy between B. L. Fish and Mr. Brush arose out of any transaction connected with the water works of this city. Mr. Brush bad nothing to do with purchasing of machinery for the water works here, and the amount sued for by Mr. Fish was for a balance claimed as due for machinery furnished to the water works at Ukiab, in_which Mr. Brush is largely interested. When interviewed by a CarL representative to-night Mr. Brush said: *{t is not customary for me to try any | cases in which I am_interested in the newspapers, but since Mr. Fish seems to want to air the matter it would perbaps be well for me to say afew words. The articie in THE CALL of to-day seems to be more the inferences of Mr. Fish than any- thing of a definite nature. It does not seem possible that the Judge of & court | would publicly state his opinion on the | veracity of a witness in an action still | pending. The differences batween Mr. Fish and myself all arose out of the con- He claims agreements outside of the written con- tract, and I think the contract covered | everything. The transaction occurred some five years ago and bad almost | escaped my nemory when the action was Mr. Fish has done what he thought would hurt me the most and has in a measurs succeeded in his desire, con- sidering the delicate position of trust I occapy. Our differences will be decided by the Superior Court of San Francisco in due time, and neither the Grand Jury nor the newspapers can affect that decision,” BIG FIRE AT MAYBIRD. A Portion of the Plant of the Famous Yuba Mine Destroyed by a Con- flagration. NEVADA CITY, CaL, May 5.—News reached here to-day of the destruction by fire last Monday afternoon of a portion of the famous Yuba mine at Maybird, in the Washington Mining District. Maybird is about twenty-five miles from here and the news traveled slowl The Yuba, which at one time was a spiendid paying property, has not been operated for several months, and the works were in charge of H. R. Ayers, a watchman. On the afternoon men- tioned he discover flames issuing from the superintendent’s dwelling, which he oc- cupied, and attempted to subdue them unaided, but they soon got beyond his control and_he was compelled to call for ;’uistunu from the inhabitants of May. ird. They responded to a man and battled with the fire for several hours. The con- flagration spread from the superintend- ent’s house to a boarding-house patron- ized by the miners when the mine isin operation, and thence to the bunkhouse all three structures being reduced to' smoldering ruins. The strenuous efforts of the fire-fighters saved the works themselves, including the hoisting apparatus and compressors, from burning, though it was some time before they were out of danger. ! The cause of the fire, which caused a loss of from $2500 to $3000, was a defective flue. There was no insurance on the proverty. It belongs to the Yuba Goid Mining Company, of which George A. Hare of San Francisco is superintendent. The fire came at a pariicularly inoppor- tune time, as the owners were negotiating with prominent San Francisco capitalists 10 inves. a large amount of money 1 the property and develop it to a larger ex- tent than was ever done before. The deal is still progressing, however, and the mine may be opened at an early date. e i, PORTLAND ARSON CASE. Self-Confessed Incendiary Alleges That He Was Employed to Start o Bloze. PORTLAND, Or., May 5.—Marcus Wolt of San Francisco, a member of Wolf Brds. here, whose wholesate clothing-house was set on fire last July, went to trial on a charge of arson to-day. Henry Jacobs was the star witness for the prosecution. He confessed to being a professional incen- diary, and the one baving done the *job” for the Wolfs.

Jucobs’ story commenced at a time not long before the fire on July 20, 1896. He told of conversations with the partners in the firm. He went down to the Wolf store and Marcus began to meation some of their business troubles. “‘He said ‘I wish you'd burn this place, it would be the making of me,’ or words to this effect,” said Jacobs. ‘‘He gaid businexs was not any too good of late, and ired of seeing those old brands in Jacobs unhkesitatingly admitted carry- ing out the instructions of the accused, but says the latter failed to execute his part of the agreement.

Henderson, a British master just in port, does not believe the Samaria lost. To the Telegram he said this evening: “It is my belief that the Samaria was thrown on her beam ends and the cargo shifted. Captain McRae finding it impos- sible to right his ship with the weight of spars dragging to leeward, ordered the masts and standing rigging cut away. With the clearing of the wreckage from the ship she was riglted and wallowed along in the irough of the seas until the gale broke. Then an effort was made by McRae to rig the jury-masts. “Tne Samaria is in the coasting trade, and, as is well known to mariners, coast- ers carry but few spare spars. In all probability there were not more than two topsail yards and possibly a topgallant mast left lashed in the scuppers of the Samaria after the gale subsided. With all these stepped and sail made upon them McRae would have hardly enough canvas spread 10 keep steerage way on his ship, laden as she is, in a favoring wind. “For him to lose the Samaria the ship must bave foundered, and with the sight- ing of these spars I don’t believe she has. She has been blown far to the northward out of the track of vessels, and it would not surprise me to hear any day of some roving halibut schooner coming into port with the tidings of the missiug ship."” WARRING SAN JOSE HEIRS. Sons of the Late Elezer Frost File Charges Against Executrices of His Estate. SAN JOSE, Cir, May 5—Erwin and Minor Frost, sohs of Elezer Frost, de- ceased, to-day filed a petition in the Su- perior Court asking that the powers of Mrs. Dora Frost Vinter and Mrs. Sarah ‘Wissman, executrices of the Elezer Frost estate, be suspended ; that their letters of administration be revoked and that a spe- cial administrator of the estate beap- pointed. In the petition it is alleged that Mrs. Frost Vinter. the late widow of Elezer Frost, and her husband, William Vinter, contemplate an extendel visit to Europe for the purpose of delaying administra- tion of the estate. ‘The executrices are charged generally with neglecting the in- terests of the estate, allowing it to be- come non-productive and less in value, whiie the petitioners contidently believe the estate could long ago have been dis- tributed. They are also accused of appro- priating funds of the estate to their own use. Judge Hyland ordered Mrs. Frost Vinter and Mrs, Wissman to appear in court on May 14, with all the necessary papers, Youchers, etc., in their possession and show cause why they should not be re- moved. The Frost estate is valued at $125,000. A similar petition was filed a_ few days days ago by Mrs. Mary Laederich and Mrs. Mary Taylor, daughters of the late Elezer Frost.

Walker, chairman of the reorganization committee of the Santa Fe, arrived this afternoon on & special train, accompanied by a large party of railroad officials. A short stop was made at Prescott, where a District Court order was procured affirm- ing through Arizona the sale of the At- lantic and Pacific Gallup on Monday. The party left to-night for Los Angeles, where a simifar order of confirmation will be sought in the Southern District Court. Chairman Walker stated that in all probability the S8anta Fe wou!d not under- take the active operation of the Atlantic and Pacific before July 1, when business might bs commenced with the fiscal year. Simultancously will occur the exchange of the Sonora road for the Mohave divi- sion of the Southern Pacific, the latter line being already operated by the Atlantic and Pacitic. The California Southern, Mr. Walker stated, would in no wise be affected by the changes, but would con- tinue to be operated as an independent line. He said it had not been decidea whetber or not to retain the name of the Atlantic and Pacific. Ample funds are available, and the road will be placed in the finest condition.

Sharper Collects Prizes for an Imaginary Picnic at Linden. Made His Escppe With Everything, From Kegs of Beer to the Latest Neckwear. STOCKTON, CarL.,, May 5.—Last week a number of the merchants of this ciiy were victimized by a clever sharper. The picnic season has commenced, and it has been the habit of a number of the leading storekeepers and merchants to donate merchandise prizes for advertising purposes. This has been the custom for a number of years past, as the donors win the good will of the picnickers and have their generosity advertisea on the pro- grammes. The enterprising sharper tcok advan- tage of this and last week made a tour of the principal stores. He said that he represented the citizens of Linden, who were to hold a_picnic there last Saturday, and that any gifts for the occasion would be acceptable. He would not take orders for goods, saylng he wanted to save the merchants all the trouble possible; and wouid take the goods themselves along with him. g The merchants knew that the Catholic ladies of Linden were to give a picnic on the 12th inst., and confounded the dates, so when the enterprising stranger left he had kegs of beer, wine, clothing, groceries, hats, shoes, neckties and dozens of other articles of value. Andnow the merchants who were bunkoed are trying to keep the matter quiet. —_— 4 STOCKTON WAIF. Its Temporary Protectors Want to Give a Baby Away. STOCKTON, CAr., May 5.—FEarly 1n the forepart of last February a nice-appearing and rather pleasant-faced woman of mid- dle age and medium height and build, called at Mrs. Abbott's lodging-house in the second story of the flat on the north side of Main street, midway 'between Stanislaus and Grant streets, No. 721, and asked whether she could get a room there, In her arms she carried a little baby.

EEL RIVEG HOLDs 115 DEAD, The Body of Yather Jeram of Eden Falley Not Recoversd. CAHTO, CiL, May 5-—The body of Father Jeram, who was drowned in the North Eel River yesterday, has not been recovered. A most vigorous seerch has been 1 progress all night and day. The river banks are being patroled to-night and friends are casting all manner of hur- riedly improvised grappling tackle in their anxiety to recover the body. \Huea bonfires at night illuminate the\ river banks at intervals of a mile apart while the faithful colonists are industriously pursuing tneir zrewsome labor. The Eel River at this point and period is at its highest, owing to the heavy snow still in the mountains, and which is meli- ing rapidly. Tne north fork of the river takes 1is head in the Yollo Bolle Moun- tains, the stream being eighty yards wide and the current swiit. Grave fears are now entertained that the body will be washed into the sea. The commiseration depicted upon the faces of the colonists at the loss of their leader bespeaks with pathetic emphasis their love for Father Jeram. All hope seemed centered upon him to further their colonial enterprise. THE GREENWOUD DISASTER. Names of the Seamen Lost From the Steamship Whitesboro.

Certainly this was no ordinary man who could run through his life so rapidly as to lose 36 years of looks in 24 years. Yet this is an actual fact. A man applied for the HUDYAN treatment not long ago. He gave his age as 24; he was a miner, had worked hard for seven years, came to the city twice a year and dissipated. His cheeks were hollow, his eyes were like burnt sockets, his lips were bloodless, fearful gaunt emaciation had set in. His legs were like spindles, his hands trembled, his knees knocked; he looked at you, but he really was looking into space. He could not remeinber the name of his town. He slept on the doctor’s chair for twenty minutes. When he awoke he told a tale of woe. He said he could not sleep in bed. Horrible nights and fearful days he spent. He had lost thirty pounds in weight. He was constantly losing. He seemed to think he was draining away. He attributed his troubles to his early life of dissipation. And this man wanted to get back to anew life. He was willing to promise to do anything that was right and just. It took two years to make this man a perfect fellow. He regained his strength and vigorousness by the use of the HUDYAN remedy-treatment. He is now an active man. His testi- monial can be had along with the 9999 others.
