The joint ticket of publicans and Democrats defeated ns’ candidates, as the nominees of the American- Protective Association were called, by an overwhelming ma- jority. Not a single nominee of the American Protective Association was elected. T'wo years ago the American Protective | Association, under the name of the Non- Partisans, defeated both the Democrats d Republicans, both of which parties placed straight tickets in the field. Since then the entirs city government has been in the hands of the order. To overthrow the dominant power, for the first time in the history of the city the old-line parties s year joined issues The returns were received at the joint quarters of the Republicans and Demo- crats to-night, but the committeemen ad- journed long before the complete returns n, as it was evident that the fusion had carried everything before it. s of the Mail and Independent 1t to the aristocratic portion v ard played before the residence .

TACOMA, Wasu., May 18.—During the ession of the State Legislature the middle-oi-the-road Populists broke loose and quietly formed a separate State or- ganization. L. E. Rader, formerly editor of the Tacoma Sun, was made president, and the other officers of the organization were divided among prominent Populists. To-day they issued an address calling for five district conventions, for the pur- pose of selecting ten delegates to the Pop- u convention, which is to meet at Nash- ville on July 4. In this address they denounce fusion, and unmercifully score United States Sen- farion Butler for seliing out the ulist party. claim the Populists were bunkoed in all the fusion deals, and declare that the only way to carry out their reforms is main a distinct “and separate organ- To these district conventions be admitted who do not un- vocally indorse the Omaha and St. is platforms anda the Ellensburg State atform and are known as old-time Populists. The general impression here is that the desire for this separation is not unanimous among the Populists, but that enough are in fayor of it to make a serious split in n forces greatly help the publicans to capture the State. The district conventions are to meet prior to June 30. ROMANCE OF WALLA WALLA. Young Bridegroom and His “Best Man" Arrested for Sweariny Faisely to the Bride’s Age. WALLA WALLA, Wasa, May 18— Angust Englehar:, a German living neer | Hadley in this county, $wore out a war- | rant to-day for the arrest of James Shearn and T. H. Lenark, on the charge of per- y. Lenark was arrested and the offi- are now looking for Sheara. This is the outcome of a remanfic mar- riage which took place in this city on Saturday night. During a band concert at the Courthouse young Shearn and Miss Amy Englehart presented themseives at Clerk Mullinix’s office and said they wished to be married. They did not have a marriage license, but the Auditor was founa and issued one. A minister was summoned and performed tie ceremony, and the newly married couple leit the oftice. No more was thought of the mat- ter until the girl’s father came to the city and made the complaint against Shearn and Lenark. ! For some time Shearn had been a suitor for ihe girl’s hand, but her parents ob- jected. On Saturday she left home, osten- aibly to visit friends in this city, but met Shearn and came with him. Lenark ac- companied them and made affidavit that the girl was of legal age, and thus he, too, is implicated in the perjury case. — MONIE IMFEOVEMENTS. UKASE. | DEL Zhe Hotel to Br Conuucied on the Euro- pean Plan Hereofter. DEL MONTE, CaL., May 18 —The ex- tensive improvements that have been in progress at Hotel del Monte have been brought to completion with most satisfac- tory results. To-day the manacement put into effect the contemplated change from the American to the European hotel plan. Instead of having one immense dining- room there are now five rooms of varying cizes and uses in which meals are served. The cafe, which merges upon the piazza and is inclosed in glass, and is beautifully finished and furnished, and the griil room, which occupies the space that was formérly the ladies’ reading-roum, and is also handsomely furnished and decorated by expert fresco artists, have a separate grill belaw them in the basement of the This grill is titted with an odorless ing. The breakiast and lunch rooms, across the main corridor to the right of the main dinine-room, are entered through a series of four anterooms, all of which are most tastefully decorated, and these smaller rooms will be used for dinner also when there are_comparatively few guests at the hotel. No table d’hote meals will be served hereafter. - LAST DAY IN MARIN'S JAIL Colonel Finnegan's Attorneys Confident That He Will Be R:leased This Morning. SAN RAFAEL, Cav, May 18.—This is the last night that Colonel Peter A. Finnegan will spend inthe Marin County Jail. He will go free in the morning and Mrs. Emily B. Finnegan will not receive the ordered to be paid to ber by Judge Angelotti. Finnegan’s attorneys say that Judge Angelotti can but give the colonel his freedom, and they Insist that Mrs. Finnegan will not be paid. The public may think it strange that Colonel Finnegan can afford to keep his daughters at the Hotel Rafael and yet plead betore the Superior Court of Marin County for his liberty upon the grounds that e is a pauper and unable to raise enough to pay his wife's alimony; yet the attorneys for Colonel Finnegan state that his sworn siatement filed with County Clerk Thomas Bonneau is true,and that e has not committed perjory. The amount of Colonel Finnesan's indebted- ness to his wife is now $1050 and this sum will not be realized from the assets for some time 1o come, if at all. S Colonel Finnegan's last might in jail is like any cther. The prison fare, heaped on asingle tn plate, 1s not what he re- ceives. He eats the best and washes it down with wine and such liquid refresh- ments. - SANTA FE ENPLOYES WAEKNED, Railway Men May Not Engage in Any Outeide Speculations ALBUQUERQUE, N. Mxx., May 18.— President Ripley of the Santa Fe system nas just issued a *“warning” to all em- ployes of tie railroad. It takes the form of a circular and has been freely dis- | tributed in Albuguerque and other points where large numbers ot railroad men make their homes. The gist of the warning is contained in the first section of the document, which altogether is quite lengthy. This section 15 as follows: ire working time of all employes is | any and must be devoted | flicer or employe will be | gage in oLher business oCCupy- his time or requiring his at- | out the express sanction of the | undersigned in writing. The other sections of the document go into the det of what is meant by | “‘otner business,”” and seem to even object | NOW S HANFORD DOUBLY BLESSED With the Knights of Pythias Comes the Valley Road. Wornmen Lay Rails Over the Boundary Line of the Convention City. Reloicing In Thelr Good Fortune, Citizens Are Lavish In Hospi- tality to Thelr Guests, HANFORD, CAL., May 18.—The Knights of Pythias gathered here from all over the State. and the Rathbone Sisters, the wo- man’s branch of the same order, are being overwhelmed by the hospitality of its people. Grand Chancellor McGlashan’s statements in responding to Major Hicks’ address of welcome exactly fit the case. “You have not merely hung the latche string on the outside,” he said, “but you have pulled the string out and given it to us.” Hanford is enjoying the thrill of pecu- liarly exciting days in her history. The city is not only being overrun by & big body of representative men and women from every quarter of the State, but the city limits were crossed this afternoon by a body of workingmen bringing their work with them, and that work marking an epoch in the town’s onward and up- ward march. They were laying the track of the 8an Joaquin Valley Railroad. Only a few months ago a great part of the pop- ulation of the city refused to believe that the road would ever come to Hanford, but the most stubborn doubter has been changed into the most enthusiastic be- liever by tie presence of the track itself. So the reception to the Knights, which is to continue through the week, will have a climax placed upon it by a grand cele- bration on Saturday of the completion of the Valley road into the city. The pro- gramme for the week embraces street parades by day and music and dancing by to speculation 1n real estate. The littie side issues in which most railroad men | are interested more or less are all tabooed. | In referring to the matter the Albu- | querque Citizen says that the new order is simply mystifying and likely to cause | confusion as well as loss to a number of | men. i e e o by SUDDEN DLATH 4T EUREKA. | Theatrical manager D.

BEATTLE, Wasn., May 18.—John Dal. ton, the pioneer Alaskan, arrived on the Al-Ki this morning from Juneau, and will at once begin preparations for shipping back a cargo of livestock, to consist of 100 bead of beet cattle and ten horses. The steamer Santa Cruz has been chartered 10 sail from S-attle on June 6. Itis proposed to take the cattle into the Yukon. They will be shipped fo the head of navigation and thence sent across by way of the Dal- ton trail. A second herd of about the same number will be taken in some time in August. Willis Thorp and one or two others have also announced that they propose driving cattle into the Yukon this season, so it is probable that tbe gold hunters will have plenty of fresh beei, provided they can afford to pay the pri R SAN JOSE MORTGAGE VOID. Transfer of Property by Fruit-Dealer Anderson Set Aside. SAN JOSE, CaL, May 18.—The mort- gage given by J. Z. Anderson, an insol vent fruit dealer, to the California Fruit Iransportation Company for $48,000 a month before his failure was set aside by Judge Lorigan to-day. It was contended by George W. Cozzens, the assignee of Anderson’s estate, that the mortgagor de- frauded the other creditors in order to give the California Transportation Com- pany a preferred claim. The decree as prayed for was granted. In January, 1896, Anderson failed, the liabilities amounting to $160,000. A month prior to this time he and bis wife gave the $48,000 mortgage to the company. Tte property involved comprisesover six acres of land ‘on which the Anderson fruitdry- ing and packing plant is sitpated, at the corner of Cinnabar and Montgomery streets, valued at about $40,000.

In his | remarks Mayor Hicks said: vy no fraternal organization has met with more marked growth within the past quarter of a century than the Knights of Pythiss. The very name of your order as well He had visited al | 85 the work it does appeals to the sense of right, and for men to be banded together to the relations which existed between Damon and Pythias of old is the highest standard oi earthly brother- | hood. I am also reminded that your order through its auxiliary, the Uniform Rank, has become & military factor recognized by the Nation, and shoulda foreign foe appear upon our shores an army of Knights as brave as any that honored knighthood of oid will meet | them and defend the stars and stripes. | " But, best of all, I am reminded that your | order, true 10 1ts progressive spirit, has taken | women into its fraternal homes, in the persons | of the Rathbone Sisters, and in extending this welcome (0 you I am giad to say that Kings County, conscious of woman’s rights, at the recent election rotled up 300 majority for equal suffrage. The grand chancellor responded priefly, saying that the exhibition of good will and hospitality by the city had been un- equaled. The session of the lodge was then re- sumed with tbe reading of the report of the .grand chancellor. It congratulated the order upon its increased sirength of members. Despite the pressure of hard times some 220 new members have been added to the rolls during 1896, making a total at present of 10, the highest number reached in twenty-eight years. It spoke highly of the Sacramento board of relief, and it suggested the lowering of the age limit so as to admit young men of 18 yeurs, a move which would enlist en- thusiastic young blood which would hold to Pythianism as its first love in fraternal orders. T e report insianced graphically | the scope of the order’s good work in the following words: “Once a knight always a knight” has been practically iliustrated in many instances dur- ing the past year. Mars Lodge 202 es- | poused the cause of brother Frauk Tucker, member of an Eastern lodge, who was under sentence of two years’ imprisonment at hard labor in Alcatraz. At first it scemed as if nis only recommendation was that he was a Knight of Pythiss, but upon examiniug into the facts Le was granied a pardon after a brief four months’ incarceration. Colton Lodge No. 137 finds one of its mem- bers lyiug in a South American jail, charged with murder but unable to secure & hearing. Through the grand and supreme chancellors, the authorities at Washington are reached and the entire machinery of the American Government is in active motion endeavoring to secure for him a fair trial and an oppor- tunity to viodicate himself. Another lodge discovers a former member | serving a life sentence at Folsom for a crime of which he protests he knows nothinz. A thorough, systematic investigation is set on foot, and, if the facts warrant, steps will be taken to secure his release. Ours is & law-abiding, crime-detesting, in- tensely loyal order, but it is great enougn, broad encugh, liberal enougn, and it has sufficient strength and influence to protect in- nocent men in every peril, Lo iollow worthy men when unjustly accused to dungeon cells, or, if need be, to the gallows itself. We hope the time has come when every American citi- zen who clings to the Stars aud Stripes for rrnmcuon will secure his just rights in any oreign Iand, but we are inexpressibly proud 10 know that Pythianism protects its mem- bers wherever the sun shines.

After helping him to the extent of their power they obtain a dis- ensation to appeal to the lodges or the State for help to procure for him an artificial limb that he may be able to suppor{ himself and those depending upon him.

The Grand Lodge did not meet in the afiernoon, or met only to adjourn, carriages had been ordered to convey t! delogates to the Lucerne vineyards, where they were sumptuously entertained by Superintendent Chittenden. This evening the brigade of the Uniform Rank beld an annual meeting at Hill's Hall. The Rathbone Sisters had an in- formal reception at the lodgeroom this morning and the Grand Lodge convened this afternoon. Thisevening another ses- slon was held for the exemplification of the work.

To-mor- row there will be a parade of the Uniforia Rank and Grand Lodge in the afternoon, 10 be reviewed by Brigadier-General C. F. McGlashan, and in the evening a grand souvenir ball at Hill’s Hall. Santa Rosa and Red Bluff are engaged in a warm contest for the honor of enter- taining the lodge next year. The prepurations for celebrating Kings County day and the cominz of the Valley road are very elaborate. They include an address by Hon. Justin Jacobs and a re- sponse by President Claus Spreckels. There will be a Spanish bullfight in the afternoon _and ap illuminated brigade parade will close the affair at night. CLOUDBURST AT SPRING VALLEY. Considerable Damage Done to Fences and Fields by a Deluge From the Skies. WALLA WALLA, Wasn.,, May 18.—A cloudburst did considerable damage at Spring Valley, in this couaty, Sunday afterneon. Rain came down in torrents, swelling streams, washing out roads and grain fields and carrying away fences. Early in the afternoon the sky darkened and a big black cloud was seen approach- ing from the southwest. It tore along at terrific speed, descending very near to the earth as it passed through the woods at the lower end of the valley. Following this came the heaviest wind and rain ever known in this section. Two miles of county roads are washed out, and miles of fences around pastures and grain fields thrown down. Several fields of wheat | will have to be harrowed over and re-! planted. During the storm Claus Clodius, aged 17, while returning from a fishing trip was struck by lightning and seriously injured near his home on Mill Creek. He was found lying on his back with blood cozing out of his mouth, nose and ears. His body was burned in several places. He may recover. ——— ARRESTED AT PHENIX.
