SAN JOSE, CAr., May 30.—"The great- est race meet ever held in California’ | was the universal expression of opinion of | the reces conducted here this afternoon | by the Gurden City Cyclers under sanc- tion of the California Associated Cycling Clubs. It was the first attempt of the £an Jose Club to conduct a Sundsy meet, and not only wasita big success in point tendance, but the races were of the nerve-thrilling, hair-raising variety and kept the ense audience on its feet constant ing in excited acclaim for In the final of the mile handicap, ama- twelve men on the track going ak-neck speed, somebody made a na down came the entire bunch one, who continued on and won the | B challenged.

The amateur rigers were not behind the “‘pros” in iurnishing good sport and the propie were as thoroughly pleased with formances as with the cash-prize 2. Three cleverly ridden heats in the one-third mile scrateh event brought the field down to Wing, Deacon, Wyman, Mott, Gooch, Murpby, ~Kraft and Schwall, a frisky lot of colts, who set out to make as hot a race of the nal heat as they knew how. Wing took (he lead at the jump, Wyman and Mot close up. Then Kraft went to the front and challenged Wing, Gooch also had the fever and showed in front, but only for a moment, for Wing got the idea into his hes~ (hat 1t was time to sprint for home, and the others had to be satisfied with unywhere behind him.

Wyman wasa close third. The time was :43 3-5 seconas, almost within the record. The Garden City Club made s mistake in allowing four men to qualify in each heat of the mile amateur handica, bring- ing twelve into the final. Regular fol- lowers ¢f the game shook their heads as the men were lining up for the start and predicted an accident with so many men racing on that or any other track, and particnlarly amateurs who are prone to reckiessness in their riding. And the re- sult proved their prognostication was starters in the final heat were Nor- tt, Johnson, Wyman, Deacon, lor, Kraft, Gooch, Hammonds, 1d Beal, from various clubs in the All went well until the lastturn The bunch had just com- State. on the last lap. menced to sprint for home and Johnson had the lead. Gooch cut down to the pole and turew himseli and Johnson. The tield behind them was going too fast and was t0o close up to avoid the wreck, and down they went, one after the other, piling up on top of each other, men and wheels being intermingled and strewn all over the track, Belloliand Taylor went over the benk, a fall of about ten feet, and the audience uttered a cry of horror as it thought of broken limbs and bruises and scrapes which all the men were likely to | suffer. Wyman was the only man who did not go down. Tl 1 was back in about tenth position, he said afterwards, ‘:and_just rode | througn the wreck, bumping into a fallen | man here and riding over a_broken wheel there, but without being thrown from my wheel. Irodeon and won the race, no- body being left to contest with me. Norton was first up, ana, his wheel be- ing unridable, started on a run for the tape, dragging it after him. Mott jumped on his wheel, but couid not ride it and gave up, sitling down to nurse a few bruises. Wyman, Wing and Kraft got on their wheels and managed to guide them slowly over the tape, passing Norton who was still on the run. So the finishing order was Wyman, Wing, Kraft. wd of cyclers rushed over to the of the smash-up and helped to carry ared men to their dressing-rooms. It was soon found that no bones were broken, but some of the riders were se- verely scraped and bruised.

A feature of the day’s racing was a spe- cial eveni—a match race between five mar- ried men of the home club—Messrs. J. A. Desimone, H. L. Miller, D. L. Miller, G. H. Osen,once the coast champion, and W. E. Whiting. George Owens also entered, | but backed out at the last moment. Both the Millers met with mishaps, and the race proper was between Desimone and Whiting, tt:e former winningin a carefully pre-arranged sprint amid tne plaudits of bis entire family, present to witness his efforts, and his many iriends in the stands, | The riders, trainers and officials all left for Vallejo to-night to attend the big meet of the Ariel Bicycle Club there to-mor- row.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL., May 30.—The exercises of to-day have been of particular interest and importznce because of ite being the last day of the Pacific Coast students’ conference. The session began with a meeting of heads of committees and departments. This was neld in executive session. The platiorm lecture to the delegates was de- livered at 10 o’clock by Rev. Dr. McLean of San Francisco. His subject “‘Consecra- tion’’ was peculiarly fitted to tne occasion, it being the last of the series of platform lectures. Dr. McLean spoke of consecra- tion in its real and superficial sense, araw- ing very sharply the distinction between the two. The song and prayer service of this mee!ing was under the leadership of F. L. Willis of Omaha. Committee meetings closed the morning’s session. The last of the jife-work conferences, held this afternoon, was addressed by r. McLean. His theme was “‘The the Ministry Upon Young in the course of s taik he snowed the need of men educationally, inteliectually, versonally and spiritually qualified for the calling. At the open-air gathering C. C. Mich- ener guve a resume of the work done by this conference and an outiine of the plans for the conference next year. The farewell service a: 8:15 o’'clock was held in the main auditorium of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church ana was presided over by Robert E. Lewis. It began with a duet by Messrs. Willis and Brink, C. C. Michener talked briefly about the influ- ence which colleze men were exerting in America in the various professions they enter upon leaving college. He also spoke of the iuture of the Young Men’s Chris- tian Association work, and the prominent American business men who were giving money and_sncouragement to it. The service clo"e® with prayer by Rev. Guy W. Smith. The delegates will leave on the morning train to-morrow. The leaders of the con- vention feel that a great amount of good bas been done in the ten days at Pacific Grove. ERandsburg Bars Chin RANDSBURG, Car., May 30.—The un- written law of the Rand is that no Chinese are wanted. BSeveral attempts have been made to bring them out, but the people showed that they would not tolerate the coolies. Two Japanese psssed throueh on this afternoon’s stage, and are booked for a leading hotel in an adjoining camp. There are mutterings among the miners, and the Japanese may be escorted out of the county by vigilantes. et g Body Found on Greenwood Beach.

It 'fll be buried at Greenwood. 4 LAST PLEA FOR SALTER WORDEN Governor Budd Receives the Railway Union Committee. Shown an Alleged Confession Written by One Charles O’Brlen. The Executlve Produces Letters In Which Worden Did Not Deny His Gulit. SACRAMENTO, Car, May 30.—A com- mittee of eight members of the American Railway Union, accompanied by George W. Monteith as counsel, appeared before Governor Budd to-day and made a final appeal in the case of Salter D. Worden, the trainwrecker condemned to be hanged on June 4 at the Folsom State prison. The argument advanced by Monteith hinged on an alleged conspiracy on the part of the Southern Pacitic Company to have some desperate deed committed in order to offset, in public opinion, the splendid conduct shown by the strikers in preserving order and in protecting the property of the railrcad company during the strike of 1894. He produced, as new evidence in Worden’s favor, a letter from a man known as Charles O'Brien, who, in company with a man named Barrett, had applied for assistance to the American Railway Union on the ground that he had been the person who had removed the rail that resulted in the wrecking of the train and the killing of Engineer Clark and four United States soldiers. The let- ter is as follows: 1Ty, July 12, 1894. President of the A. R.U., Sacramento— SIR: Wien you get this I am fat sway, a friend of mine mailed this. 1 am the man wich made the trestel weack. Igot4 hundred dollars ior the work. One man who nired me was a heavy dick men, one was & man wich had soldier’s coat under his overcoat. They said they could hirea pleaty of men for 13 dollars a month to play soldiers, so & few to be killed woula make no difference’ they were cheap. I write you this that you or any of the boys are not guilty. Ine men send me away and told e 1o say Dnothing, but )f Tam & — T will not see others suffer for wnat I have done. I was sick and no work, hungry and dit not no whet I was doing and the men told me itias all right. Forgive me. Your friend, not fiend. CHARLES O'BRIEN. As corroborative evidence several of the members of they ~were approached by this man O'Brien with the same plea, and later it was shown that O'Brien and Bennett were in the employ of the railroad company as spies or private detectives. Ia his argument Monteith strongly ar- raigned Attorney Strong of Woodland, who conducted the Worden case, and in- timated that Strong was in the employ of the railroad company and had totally failed to give Worden a chance for his life. Worden, during his incarceration in the Woodland jail, was kept stupid on | liquor, and the many confessions ob- tamned from him were, he said, due to the strong drink he had taken. Worden had maae no confession since whisky had been kept away from him. ““Yes, he has, in a way,” interrupted Gov- ernor Budd. *‘When Worden supposed he was on the threshold ot eternity, when he supposed that he lay on his deathbed, he wrote letters to lis aged mother, his children, his brother and brether-in-law, in whici he expressed unbounded regret | for the disgrace he had brought upon them, warned his little ones not to follow bis footsteps, and made no formal declara- tion of innocence.” I knew nothing of these letters,” said Monteith. “I have them, and will show them to vou,” said the Governor, “but I do not | care to give them for publication. In them he says he is fuily assured that all | hope has fled; that be knew the Goveruor would not interfere. Why, even his brother and brother-in-law did not ask for acommutation on the grounds of Worden’s innocence, but on the groundsof menial irresponsibility.” At the end of his address the Governor listened to the declaration of several per- sons. Taoe general tone of ths Governor's remarks leads to the belief that the execu- tive bas made up his mind on the subject, and that Worden must hang. STOCKTON'S YOUNG BRIGANDS. Three Youthtul Highwoymen Stop a Chi- nese Vegetable Feddior and Rb Hm STOCKTON, Car, May 30. — Three Stockton youths were arrested to-night by Constables Hersom aud Howe on a charge | of highway robbery. Their names are | Heid, Mowry and Waite, and they are | sons of respectable psrents, This morn- | ing they took a buckboard belonging to the father of Heid znd drove to Roberts Isiand. On their way back to_town they came across a Chinese named Fong Chow, who was going to Scockton with a load of vegetables. They claim that they merely | had some words with the Mongol because | he would not get cut of their way, but the Chinese says thst they assaultea and robbed himof wkat money he h: After the boys passed Fong Chow in | their buckboard Mr. Hassler of this city | drove up and ths Chinese told him that tbe youths had robbed him. Hassler whipped up hit horse and gave chase, but the boys whipred their horss into a run and kept up the pace into town. They managed to elude Hassler, but were after- ward located by Detective' Marshall, who brought then to the police office and turned them over to the Constables. The boys were in hiding when Marshall got tnem and h:d taken the top off the buck- board. At the poiice station they denied that the committee testifiea that | they bad nobbed the Chinese, claiming | | feet ana found the vein at that depth as !§ good as it was at the top. They took out | | ers of the J I C group, Cripple Creek min- that they were merely angry with him be- cause he did not get out of their way. Deputy Sheriff Black and Constable Her- som drove to Roberts Isiand this evening 10 investigate the story of Fong Chow. He told so straight a tale that all three of the boys were locked up on their return. SRl S RANDSBURG’S RICH LEDGES. Kins Owners Find That the Ore Vsins Extend Far Into the Boweis of the Earth. RANDSBURG, CAL, May 30.—This camp is proving itself & remarkable one, both in the richness of the ore found here and in the number of good payinz mines. Without exception the mines have paid from the grass roots down and have been developed by men Without means and (some of them) without experience in mining. Twenty-five or thirty claims are producing good-paying rock in quantities to satisfy the most avaricious. Heretofore the question has been, Do the veins go down to any depih or are they but pockets? The uncertainty has | deterred many from delving far from the surface. The owners of the Wedge mine, feeling certain that the vein on their claim went down to a depth sufficient to make of it a mine in every sense of the word, concluded to remove all uncer- tainty. They have sunk to a depth of 315 Tock that paid over $200 to the ton. The ! rock at this depth was of the same char- acter as that the Kinyons took from the | 135 level of their Good Hope mine. The | Wedge and the Good Hope are the best producers in the camp. So encouraged are the owners of the Wedge over their | success that they will continue to sink until they reach the 500 level. In the odjoining claim on the east— the Butte, lately purchased by Montana capitalists—a shait is at present down 225 feet, and it will be sunk lower. The own- ing capitalists, are sinking a double com- partment shait in the J I C mine and are down to a depth of 160 feet. This 1s the only double compartment shaft in the camp. Over the hill from these minesis the King Solomon group. At present they are down to a depth of 200 feet, and their owners have shipped in the necessary machinery to go down 600 feet. Dhe Iatest new find is thatof the Ala- meda mine, in which there is rock that assays into six figures. The Potalums mine, five and a ha]t“ ¢ miles west from Randsburg, is now show- | ing a seven-foot ledge between well-de- fined walls and the ore isrich in free gold. The Rand group has resumed operations and is shipping cre every day to the mills, E— ELOPED FROM FRESNO. Carl Myers and Seventeen - Year- 0/d Effis Noble Probably Wedded at Sea, FRESNO, Car, Mey 3).—Carl Myers eloped from Fresno on Friday night with Miss Effie Noble, who is but 17 years of age. They purchased tickets for Monterey, intending to escape the age limitation of the law in regard to the bride by going upon the high sess to have the ceremony performed. No news has been received of the runaway couple since they left. In Fresno there is a wrathy father, whose name is Noble also. Tl kill Myers if he ever sets foot in Fresno again,’ declares the aged gentle- man. Both Mr. and Mrs. Noble were against the match, but their reasons are not | B known. Myers has been a widower but four montbs, and his deceased wife was a sister of the girl who has eloped with him. He has two clildren, who are still | here. Itseems that Myers never did en- joy the strong friendsiip of his parentas in-law, and when he began paying atten- tions to their second daughter tney an nounced to her in highly positive terms | i that she would not be him. The departure of the elopinz couple was accomplished without any difficulty. Miss Noble easily slipped out of her home, and | her lover was near at hana to receive her. | Three friends assisted them in making the arrangements. morning that Mr. and Mrs. Noble dis- | covered the absence of their daughter and | one of the three frien.s then took it upon | himself to intorm them that she had | eloped with Myers. The old man broke into a terrible rage. | Myers is in the employ of the Standard | 0il Company, and those who know him | speak highly ‘of his character. He is 26 years of age. permitted to marry | | e AR S HOBOS INVADE TACOMA. Driven From Montana by Vigilantes, They Are Working Their Way to Calitornia.
