MAY 14, 189 L0S ANGELES ALIVE WITH CONDUCTORS| The City Full and Two Trains Are Still to Come. | e | No. 999, the Record-Breaker, | Due With New York’s Delegation. | A Day Is Spent in Sight-Seelng | Before Getting Down to Buslness. 1 L | LOS ANGELES, Cin, May 13.—As| fuil as the city seems to be with con. ductors and their companions yeL two trainioads of them %o arrive. special train of Wagner cars bearing the New York Central delegates and the train of Pullmens with the conductors from the Pennsylvania lines will not ar- rive until to-morrow, both having been | sdetracked on the way hither on account of & washout. The passengers on these trains will be somewhat late to enjoy the fun, but the delegates to the convention of the Order of Railway Conductors will be in time to vote for officers at the Eatur- day election. With the Pennsylvania and New York parties will come a number of the most prominent members of the order, some of them having long ago been promoted to higher positions, but yet re- taining their membership. It is stated that the New York train is drawn by the famous engine “No. 999 which made the great record of Il miles on her division between New Yors and Chicago. There are six Wagner cars on this excuraion, carrying mere than 200 | conductors. The time-table, however, was made up from Eastern experience and by those who never pulled a train over the big divide. Railroad men here in California will not be surprised if the New York special comes into the conven- | ticn when the convention is nearly over. | The officers in charge of this train are: | J. D. Suults, manager; S. L. Carpenter, | secretary and (reasurer; exccutive com- | mittee—F. D. Ware, 1. Barrett, J. D. Shults, 8. L. Carpenter, J. Foley and W. | E.

MEXICAN ASSASSINS. They Have a New Tr.al for Bloodthirsty i Crimes Committed Several L Years Ago. SANTAFE, N. Mex., May 13.—A special | term of the District Court opened to-day at the county seat of Mora County for the | trial of the accused assassins of ex-Sheriff | John Dougherty and others in 1893, Dougherty headed what was called the Dougherty faction of the Democratic party. The other faction was led by Agapito Abeytia. While Dougherty satnear & window in his home one night in Decem- ber, 1893, with a child on each knee, he was shot and killed. Ten weeks later an | Indian, Juan Rael, was killed by the Sperift’s posse. Agapito Abeytia, then Sheriff, was alleged to be the organizer of the conspiracy to remove his political op- ponent, Dougherty. The alleged econ- spirators had au associate, the Indian Rael. When public_sentiment dsmanded an investigation Abevtia is said to have called several conferences of his associates | and decided to sacrifice Rael by charging | him with Dougherty’s death. According to one of the alleged conspirators, Estan- islau Sandoval ordered by the Sheriff to file a formal sccusation against Rael, and the posse went after him having or- ders, it is said, not 10 bring him in alive. Rael was enticed trom his house and shot. Detective Thornton, who was put on the | case a year later, unearthed a startling |. string of facts. zht of the suspected ! conspirators, including Sheriff Abeytia, | whom the Governor had removed from | office, were arrested. Three of them turned Siate’s evidence. They made a fuil confession to the eifect that Vietor Lujan had been vaid $200 by Abeytia to kiil Dougherty, and Rael, who knew of | the transaction, was killed for fear he would turn informer. Sastenos Lucero and Juan B. Romero, jailers, who. with B. Cordova, comprised the Sheriff's posse thau killed Rael, were tried in 1894, found guilty and sentenced to life imprison- ment, but on appeal the case was reversed and the prisoners remanded for a new trial, which began to-day.

The stage of the theater was profusely and tastefally decoratea with flowers and potted plants, and tbe chairson the stage were occu- pied by the ladies of the congress and friends of tue movement for the advance- ment of woman. The Woman’s Congress was called to order this forenoon at the Avon Theater at 10:30 o’clock by Mrs. John F. Swiit.

MRS. LANGTRY GETS A DIVORCE. | The Famous Society Beau'y Granted a D:- cree by Judge Crump at Lake- | port. | 1 | LAKEPORT, CAr., May 13.—The cele- brated divorce case of Langtry vs. Lang- | try came on rather unexpectedly for trial | the absence of both parties. | to-day in | The plaintiff, Mrs. Langtry, had expected to be prosent, but being detained by im- portant business engagements in Europe, directed her attorney to proceed in her absence. The complaint was upon two of the statatory grounds, desertion and failure to provide. Summons was served upon the defendant personally in England more than a year ago, and his default for not answering was duly entered some time H. C. McPike of the firm of Dunne & MecPike of San Francisco appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. McPike stated to the court that as Mrs. Langtry was able to provide for herself the case weuld be tried on the ground of deseriion. The depositions of several witnesses | taken in London, Eag., were read, docu- mentary evidence wasintroduced and wit- nesses were examined orally. Judge Crump took the matter under ad- visement and aiter careful examination of the papers and evidence in the case pave | judgment for the plaintiff. He tound all | dence clearly entities the plainuiff to the | decree prayed for. The judgment awards Mrs. Langtry the custody of their only child, a daughter, | and all ber property in Lake Countv. It appears from the testimony that Langtry aeserted his wife mcre than fiiteen years ago and that he had since conri- buted nothing toward her support. Mrs. Langtry in her deposition Weclares Lake County to be ber residence and it appears from her testimony that her wardrobe, | heirlooms and other personal efiects have been in Lake County for more than ten years. — e NOT MUCH OF A HERO.

It was he who during the severe storms of last winter, when ac- cnsed of a small shortage in his accounts, risked his life in swollen streams and al- most impassable mountain roads to pre- sent himself before United States Judge Bellinger, unaccompanied by an officer. To the contrary, the evidence developed in Mr. Sutton’s case since the discharge of the United States Grand Jury has taken the seal of secrecy from the lips of Gov- ernment officials zoes to show that Sutton was a methodical purloiner of moneys coming into the postoffice he was in charge | of. In fact, not satistied with takine what | tile meager receipts of the Oretown office would allow, he proceeded to develop the business of the office by false returns of | stamp cancellation until he had reached | the necessary sale of $200 in stamps to make it a money-order postoffice. And | this objert having been gained, he did | nothing eise than appropriate every dol- lar intrusted to him. | THE HARD LUCK OF C.

The Physicians Thought Nothing bu’ Contusioa Ailed Him—The Final Discovery of Dr. de Puy. Charles H. La Berge, a painter, of 341 Fifth avenue, hag, according to # story he told last night at his home, a strange and decidedly painful experience a few days ago. He says he has been badly treated at a time he was seriously in. jured, and declares that he will call for a thorough lezal examination into the whole matter. This is his story: “On Friday, May 7, I was employed by J. F. Sullivan as a painter, and while on a six- teen-foot ladder I fell and was made in- sensible. At length some one gave me some stimulan t—what it was I do not | know, but evidently it was giventhrough kindness. I was then taken in a patrol wagon to the City and County Hospital, where the three physicians examined me and said nothing was the matter with me. “They said I bad only a bad shaking up and a contusion of the left side. I insisted \hat my ribs were broken and they de- olared that I did not know what I was talking avout. They ihrew me on a bed and 1 lsy there apbout two and a bali hours, complaining that I was not attended to, when my wile came 1o take me home. i insisted that I should be at- tended to. Iwas tola that cases were treated there out of ch no right to complain; not leave at once they would be compelled 1o put me out. “My wife then took me home. We were compeliel to walk a good part of the way. 1then called Dr. de Puy, aud he after ex- amining me found two ribs broken and interna: injuries. At the present time I have a plaster of paris jacket on, and am still under treatment and expect to be so for some time. “This case will certainly be brought be- fore the Grand Jury, and Iintend to find out whether this is a charity institution or for deserving taxpayers.” 51GmA 5IGMA FROLICS. Stanford Spectators Witness the Initia- tion of New Members. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAv., May 13.—The yearly initiation of new members in the Sigma Sigma Fraternity took place to-day. As usual the public part of the initiation was greatiy enjoyed by the spectators. Early in tke morning the newly made members of the fraternity marched up to the quadrangle in single file. All carried a dress-suit case and were to all appearances ready for some swell entertainment. Having received orders they retired to a private room and soon emerged in the grotesque costumes which formed part of tne initiation exercises. “Johnnie” Brunton '99, dressed as a tough newsboy, with a soiled polo cap perched jauntily on one side of his head, sold papers. Gregory '99 represented a smutty-faced barkeeper, such as one runs across in reading any old Enelish tale, He dispensed soda at 5 cents a glass and did a rushing busines: **Cupid’’ Carbart '99, wearing a shockingly short dress and for headgear a lace bonnet, made a ty pical old-fashioned milkmaid. He was easily embarrassed, however, and seemed ill at ease whenever pointed out by his young lady friends. Boutherland '98 spent his time in the first place entertaining the ladies, al- thouzh he entertained the crowd inci- dentally. His costume was a dress suit THE NEW UNITED STATES CONSUL TO AMOY. A. B.

He was first appointed Consul to Fuchan, but this was afterward changed to Amoy, a much more lucrative place. This position pays $3500 a year, besides fees. As it is an important commercial point the appointment may be re- garded as a good one. *More than 1000 foreign ships a year sul Johnson, *and the business done is very large. put into the harbor of Amoy,” said Con- Besides this, it is a much pleasanter place to be stationed than many others in China.

Some of those initi- ated paraded with broomsticks, while others blacked the shoes of the multitude or busied themselves sweeping the asphalt pavement of the quadrangle. . Having spent the day as ordered by the installed members of the fraternity, the students were declared full-fledged mem- :z_uu of the select Sigma Sigma organiza- ion. The Press Club of Stanford held a ban- quet in the Cardinal Cafe at Palo Alto this evening. Toasts were offered and the twelve members spent & pleasant evening. The civil engineers held their annual bauquet in the Sigma Nu House this evening. About twenty members were present, including the faculty members of theclub.

TACOMA, WasH, May 13.—Over a quarter of the fine new sawmiil erected by Lillis Bros. last year at Old Tacoma sunk four feet on its foundations to-day and the entire mill is liable to fall into the sound. It is built over the water on piling. Thirty piles supporting the outer fifty fest collapsed this morning, having been destroyed by teredos. The piles farther back are similarly weakened. These sup- port an expensive plant of machinery, which is belog taken out for fear it will fall in. It is claimed that the foundations were entirely too weak for so heavy a building and that experienced builders would not have driven green piles with neither bark nor artificial coating on to protect them from the teredos. The mill was started a year ago by J. C. Lillis and _ex-Fire Chief H. M. Lillis, who had financial assistance from their brother, 8. Lillis of S8an Francisco. It hada ca- pacity of 550,000 feet per day, but has been operated only a few days in January, when lumber was cut to_erect the mill buildings. The plant cost between $20,000 and $25,000. A first-class machinery plant was put in by J. O. Bradney, a local man- afaciurer of engines, to whom it was turned back to-day as his claims had not been entirely settled. Either new founda- tions will be put in or a new mill erected on an adjoining site. el G A PORTLAND PARANOIAC. Stella May Flannery, Formerly of This City, Committed to the Salem Insane Asylum. PORTLAND, Or., May 13.—A commis- sion in lunacy resterday committed to the Salem Insane Asylum Stella May Flan- nery, aged 21 years, afflicted with what Dr. D. H. Raud calls “paranoiac.”’ One of her unaccountable ideas is that if she kills it 1s not a crime. It is doing the world a favor. However, for all her threats and her well-laid plans, her ideas of killing exist only in her imagination. The persons included in her fatal ban were a number of Portland and Omaha railroad officials, a few Portland doctors, a couple of women and a Congressman or two. Miss Flannery seems to have become imbued with the art of cajoling and threatening people into doing something for her. Bhe is one of the great nuisances of the age—the begging letter writer—and by her remarkably mvented stories she has brought;the wrath of Congressmen down on the heads of the Union Pacific peonle. She came here from San Francisco last fall, where she pretended to know all prominent people, from the Governor of the State to the Mayor of San Fran- cisco. Bhe exhibited signatures to letters, but not the contents of them, showing that she Lad enjoyed what is commonly known as an “offic:al pull.” She asked Superin.endent Baxter of Union Pacific for employment; and, he having none fot her, Miss Flaunery wrote the most infamous letters to the Union Pacific headquarters, _raising quite a rumpus for a time. Her various stories are the strangest ever listened to, and, despite her insanity, she is very plaus- ible. The commission, in making Jts re- port, stated that her malady is incurable and that she is too dangerous to be at large. Sl NO “RUSHING” AT STANFORD, Zhe Class of 1900 Takes Decisive 4ction Against the Practice. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL.,, May 13.—The freshman class met in the chapel this afternoon to discuss whether or not “rushing” would be tolerated in the future at Stanford. The class was in a position to stop this custom at Stanford, which, although de- clining in Eastern universities, has been carried on from year to yaar with great fierceness at both Stanford and Berkeley. In a hard-fought contest last semester the freshmen managed to tie up the sopho- mores. With this condition of affaira the class could gracefully withdraw, as no charge of cowardice would stand against them. The faculty was especially interested in seeing the class take this course of action. ‘They greatly preferred seeing inter-class contests on the diamond and gridiron de- cide class championships rather than a hard-fought ‘*‘rush” attended with more or less chances of accidents. The class, after a few unimportant pre- liminaries, adopted the following set of resolutions: WHEREAS, The experiences of our class in the “rusn” in which we were cngaged in the fall of 1896 somewhat corroborated such a view | of the matter; and whereas the question of & “rush” or not heving e “rush” depends almost entirely on the attitude ol _the sophomore class, which will be our standing at the close of this college year; and whereas the class of 1900 of Leland 'Stanford Jr. University has been through the experiences of one “rush,” in which it came out victorious; and whereas the custom of “rushing,” although in vogue in some of the leading coileges of this country, seems to us unbecoming to and not in keeping with the spirit and aims of this mstitation, therefore bo it _ Resolved, By the class of 1900 oi Leland Stan- ford Jr. University, asscmbled in speciai meot- ing 1or the consideration of this problem, that we heartily declare it to be our désire fo ab- stain from engaging in any ‘rush” with the class o1 1901 at any time dnrlnf our collage course, and thai we will not discourage the growth of a sentiment against *‘rushing” in our university. The meeting then adjourned. Abigih e binc Satteman Loses His Sust for Damages.

Corporations Are Willing to Meet the Municipality Half Way. An Expert Will Be Appointed to Draw Up Plans and Submit Them to the Supervisors. As the result of a conference held yes- terday afternoon in the committee-room of the Board of Supervisors it is probable that within a comparatively short time all of the electric light, telephone, tele- graph and power wires in the business portion of the City will be laid in con- duits. There were present Mayor Phelsn, Su- pervisors Devany, Britt, Sheeban and Rivers, representatives of the telegraph, light and power companies, fire alarm and police telegraph, Merchants’ Association, Superintendent of Streets and Fire De- partment. Mayor Phelan, who called the confer- nce, stated that its object was to do away with overhead electric wires so that the City might be beautified and the Fire Depariment less hampered in its efforts to subdue fires in districts where the wires are numerous and large interests are at stake. He called for suggestions from those present as to _the best means to at- tain the desired end. Tle representatives of the various com- panies expressad an entire willingness 10 meet the City half way in its efforts to put the wires underground if given a suffi- cient time to arrange the matter satisfac- torily to themseives. They stated that it was their present policy to get the wires into conduits as rapidly as circumstances would permit. Nathan Dohrmann, representing the Merchants’ Association, suggested that the conduit should be built by the City and a rental charszed the corporations using it. He thought that a handsome revenue could be derived from such a plan, and that the companies would be satisfied. They were not, however, claiming that such a scheme had been tried in the East and in Europe and had proved a failure. Mayor Phelan then suggested that an expert be appolnted to look into the mat- terand draw a plan to be followed. He asked the representatives of the companies if they would be satistied with a year's | time in which to place their wires under- ground. The telephone and telegraph companies were satisfied with a year, but the power companies were not sure that they could arrange to change their wires within thac period. It was finally decided to appoint an ex- pert to draw the plans and in the mean time call upon the companies for written propositions as to the length of time they would require and the advantages desired. Superintendent Hewett of the Fire Alarm and Police Telegraph was sug- gested as tho expert to prepare the conduit plan and the electric men expressed them- selves as satistied with him, but no ap- pointment was made. HOLIDAYS THE WORLD OVER. In Latin-Americwn Countries the People Work Only 200 Days in the Year. A computation made a short time ago showed that among European countries the two in which wages were highest and the hours of labor least were England and France, . whereas the two countries in which wages were smallest and the hours of labor longest were in Italy and Russia. In tome countries of the world an explanation of the apparent dearth of progressive industry among the inhabitants is to be found, perhaps, in the recurrence of holidays of & religions, patriotic or purely social character, and many persons who are familiar with the industrial usages in some cities of South and Central Amer- ica say that there the number of holidays seems to exceed the number of working days. There are in such countries usually not fewer than s dozen church festivals, and there are besides patriotic festivals. A similar state of affairs existsin all Latin countries, and is to be found in the United States, too, when one turns to the legal festivals of Lonisiana. There is the holidzy of January 9, commemorating the battle of New Orleans; the Mardi Gras, on March 2, in New Orleans; Confederate Memorial day, in April; Good Fridui, All Saints’ day, election day, Louisiana Labor day, on November 25, and Thanksgiving and Christmas days. Florida celebrates the birthday of Jef- ferson Davis, Texas the anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto, and Alabama the NEW TO-DAY. “TOMEN are not the only ones who are sensitive about their ages.

It became his practice at such times to take a Tabule—just one—at the mo- ‘ment that he observed the difiiculty approaching. It made no difierence when. A favorable result was mvlfl:,bl{ apparent within tweaty minutes. The only notice- able effect was that he always feit all right in twenty minutes if he took the Tabule ; while if he did not, the nervous, uncomfortable fecling intensified and led to a bad afternoon and tired evening. He now carrics thiem with him all the fime, but docsn't have occasion to apply to them anything like as often as he did at first, ' Nowadays there e froquent periods of from 3 week: to ten days, or cven two ecks, during which he finds that he has no occasion whatever to make use of the Tabuies, but stil carries them in his pocket just the same, so that they may be ready if an dcca- sion occurs. lcflvil{ T S —
