THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 4, 1897. CHAIRMAN JOHNSON'S GENERAL ORDER. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR HEADQUARTERS, SAN FRANCISCO, CAL., July 3, 1897. California is not known throughout the East as a State in which the spiritual life is very evident, so we trust this impression will be corrected when our Eastern friends come in contact with the live, conse- We expect the Christian Endeavorers visiting San Francisco during the coming weeks will receive from the members of our reception committee a genuine California welcome. This means that the committee, which numbers 1000, must be ready and willing to answer the multitude of questions that are sure to be asked regarding the subjects that pertain pa{‘ti&:u]ufly to our State and City. For example, some may wish to know when certain varieties of fruit are ripe; the acreage of Golden Gate Park ; the location of the hotels and car lines, and especially the transfer points on the crated young people of our City. latter. mittee to post themselves beforehar the time they spend in getting it. and will not be completed until the closing session of the convention, when section duties are ended.

Twenty-Five Thousand Have Al- ready Passed Through Denver En Route. DENVER, Coro, July 3.—Two thou- sand Christian Endeavorers from the Quaker City and tie Keystone State, in compuny with as many more from the Emyir- State and the metropolis, arrived in Denver to-day on their way to the Pa- cific Coast. The New York delegation ar- rived early over the Union Pacific and left for the West over tke Denver and Rio Grande. The Pennsylvania delegation reached here at ) in two sections and will remain here till to-morrow night at midnight, To-dav they spent in car trips about the city seeing the sights, and to- morrow will attend divine services in the churches. The Burlington, besides its regular train in two sections, hrought in two specials crowded wit ndeavorers. The Rock Island brought in e Washington party and a portion of t} w York delegation. The Denver and Rio Grande has been ex- ceptionally for ein bandling the im- owds State during the past week. They have taken many thousand over Marshall Pass and no accident has occurred. Between Baliia and Puebio the road had tnirteen special trains this morning, all running on schedule time. The Gulf road has hauled 3000 sightseers around the famous “loop” during the past three days. Not an accident has havpened on a strictly Colorado road since the rush began. The Endeavorers were treated to a novel sight last night. It snowed heavily in nearly ail the pusses, six inches falling in Leadville. The visitors from the sweltering East gazed with wonder on the ground and irees covered with snow this morning. Before noon, however, the hot Juiy sun had melted it all, but it remained a topic of conversation of all the trains through- out the day. The crowd of Endeavorers who arrived Denver to-day will ‘about complete vel of that excursior toward this City. Probably 3000 will spend to- morrow in Denver and continue their | journey to the convention city after the hour of 0-morrow night.

B SR |TRAINS ARE SLOW| Officials Are Afraid to Make | Fast Time. A Schedule of the Way the Visitors Are Mcving. | OGDEN, Uranm, July 3.—Christian En- deavor excursion trains bezan to arrive’ early this afternoon and made thingsas lively as Halstead-street station in Chi- | cago. Thne Union Pacific came in four sections with heavy loads. Connecticut's | contingent came in with eight cars, and when the train stopped the delegates had | a meeting on the depot platform and sang | numerous well-known hymns. Maine’s | aelegation followed Connecticut, number- | ing four cars, and was in charge of Miss | Cora B. Bickford of that State. Both of | these delegations were taken to Salt Lake, where they will hold meetinzs on Sunday. Salt Lake City bas banners siretched across the streets stating no one should leave there unless we!l provided with edi- bles, as none can be obtained this side of San Francisco. People here take that as 2 hit at Ogden, as thers is plenty here. | Superintendent Agler of the Southern Pa- cific made every endeavor to keep the trains from laying over in Ogden, and | | said that shou!d these trains come into this place and block the yards they will | | be unabvle to move any trains out of here ! for some time. Mr. Agler was conferring | with Rio Grande people on this qursiion | and has no doubt succeeded in hoiding a | large number of trains out of Ogden | yards. Rio Grande trains are all six | bours late to-night. The schedule of trains for arrival in this city so far as can | | be given oy officials is as follows. | | Fourth—Connecticut, Michigan, Wis- | | consin, Iow=, St. Douis, Minnesots, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio and Tennessee, | New England, Caneda and Alabama. All | between 10:30 and 12 p. M Fifth—Two sections of New York, two | sections of Illinois and Chicago, Bullock, Stewart and Ransom special, Pennsyl- vania, Wisconsin ana two sections of Judson special. Sixth—Marvland, New York and four| sections of Fennsylvania specials. It is| impossible to give correct schedule, as the railroad officials say they are mixed con- | siderably, and are afraid to run as fast as usual on account of the number of trains moving. It is doubtful whether roads in and out of Ogden will be able to hand.e trains properly. The sitvation is a peculiar one. —_—— AT SALT LAKE. | Programme for the Visitors’| Sunday There. Twenty Thousand Strangers Now in the City by the Lake. SALT LAKE, Urag, July 3—The com- bination of bad weather and delayed trains has delay.d the ingress of Chris- tian Endeavor excursionists. The indi- | cations are, however, that fally as many as estimated will soon be here, though their stay may be shortened. Various re- ports of the Union Pacific carrying more than it was expected that road would, and trains making no stop here on account of the morning’s storm, were current during the day. It islearned, however, that just asmany as were expectea will be here even if that number is not exceeded. This morning the Ohio delegation, in charge of Mr. France, reached the city at 8:30 o’clock. This was the first organized delegation. Two trains passed through last night (one 6:30 and one at 11:30), but they were in the nature of overflow trains and not organizea companies. Between 3 and 8 o’clock this afternoon the following dele- | Kansas 290 Lncas 250, 168, Iowa 256, gation arrived: Buliock 145, W sconsin Michigan ¢ fore noon.

A Connecticut delegation reached here also ‘rom Ogden over the Oregon Short Line at 3 o’clock. Active preparaticns are going on to receive and entertsin the city’s guests during the next two deys. The reception committee have their hands full, but are working hard to make every- thing go off pleasanily. Aun interesting programme was carried out at Saltair to-day, which inciuded an address of welcome by Governor Wells. There was not the number present that were expected, owing to the fact that the trains were delayed, but the-services were highly appreciated and were attended by & large number of Salt Lakers. .Inde- pendence day will be celebrated here to- morrow in the following manner: At9:30 A. M. there wili be a junior rally in the First Congregational Church, where ad- dresses wiil be made by Mrs. Francis E. Clark of Boston, Mre. Alice May Scudder of Jersey City and Rev. F. Y.

CHICAGO, IrL., July 3.—Five despond- ent Chicagoans have ended their livesin manners more or less dramatic, and the oppressive heat of the last few days played its part in the taking off of the unfortunates. Three ended their troubles by the use of revolvers. Each of these shot himself through the head, death re- sulting instantly. A fourth, Wiiliam Tooley, took poison, and the body of an- other man, presumably a suicide, was teken from the lake atthe foot of Diver- sey avenue. It has not been 1dentified.

Eerouige o IN THE WARM BELT Los Angeles Overflowing With the Visitors. Two-Thirds of Those so Far Seen Are Not En- deavorers, LOS ANGELES, CaL, July 3.—The streets of Los Angeles are to-night crowded with strangers and a large pro- portion of them wear badges of the Chris- tian Endeavorers. Nine . trainloads of visiotrs came in to-day and to-night from the East, the majority of the passengers having no connection with the order and no intention of attending the convention. Real estate agents pay attention to the latter class and local committees of the Christian Endeavorers have speclal solici- tude for the beribboned strangers. In tie nine trains were fullv seventy- five cars, and all were heavilv loaded, the delegates coming from everywhere. Although the number of visitors was so great only 150 had registered at local Continued on Ninth Poge. through the head while suffering from severe headache, caused by excessive heat. Of all the suicide of Arthur B. Clayton Hook was the most startling as well as singular, for the reason that an acute headache, caused by the irying warm weather, had rendered him almost in- sane. Jobn T. Hampton, attorney, 45 years old, 30 South Humboldt street, shot him- self througn the head while despondent on accouat of illress and financial straits. Wiiliam Tooley, 42 years old, recently employed at the Great Northern Hotel, took laudanum because of despondency. Unidentified man, 22 years old, body re- covered from the lake at Diversey avenue. Gustav C. Barthmang, 58 years old, 20 Eiburn avenue, shot himseif through the head while despondent on account of non- employment. The case of another, Jobn T. Hampton, an attorney in needy circumsiances, is hardiy less patbetic. Hampton had been ill and bad brooded much over the death of his wife. DENVER, Coto., July 3.—Snow fell this morning at Gunnison, Telluride, Creede and Leadville. DULUTH, Misx, July 3.—The worst storm Du.uth has ever witnessed occurred last night. Therainfall broke all records, beingz four inches. The storm did great damage all over the city and atl over the country around. Sireets were washed out, pavements tora up and some houses loosened from their foundations. All the creeks running through the city are rag- ing torrents. Lester River hasrisen three feet. Beveral bridpes were carried out and the large wagon and street-railway bridge is in danger of going, one of tha big stone piers being already carried out. Several small houses on the Jake shore at the mouth of the river were carried ont into tke lake, but the occupants escaped. A large number of horsesand cows were drowned. At the east end a swo.len creek tore ifs way througn the engine-room of Scot1 & Holston’s biz saw- mill, and to-day the big dry kiln has pbeen undermined and threatens to fall. The power-house of the street railwav was flocded, and all traffic was shut off for a time. ' Lincoln Park, the prettiest in the city, is completely washed away, and Cascade Park is almost ruined. Traffic on the railroads around Duluth is blocked. The Duluth and iron Range railroad has had two or three biz wash- outs and one or two small bridges gone within the city limits, while outside a number of bridges have been reported washed out. The Daluth, Mesaba and Northern Railroad has a number of bad washouts and several bridges {zone. No trains have arrived here since last even- ing and telegraphic communication was cut off for many hours. The water in the West End is still rising to-day and several narrow escapes have been reported. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 3.—An even 100 degrees in the shade is what Observer Frank Burns read “on his thermomerer when he made his observation at 12:30 this afternoon. Ten minutes it had dropped to 99, where it remained for an hour, a gradual drop following. This breaks all records for years, The hottest day last year was July 28 when 98 was registered. At 11 o’clock this morning 99 was registered. At noon a slight drop was noticeable, but thirty minutes later the mercury took a final upward spurt and broke all records. There are a dozen or more prostrations, but none have re- sulted fatally. Twenty or more horses have been killed on account of the ex- cessive heat. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 3.—Two aeati's and a number of prostrations from heat were reported to-day. It was the bottest day of the year, the thermometer regis- tering 91 at noon. The indications are for continued high temrerature. CINCINNATI, OHio, Ju:y 3.—At noon to-day the thermometer recorded 98 in the shade. There were fifteen sunstrokes re- ported, among them being H. P. Boyden, City Auditor-elect and formerly editor of the C mmercial Tribune. He is seriously affected. Four of the sunstroke cases are serious. Policeman Kunsman is ravingin delirium from the effects of the heat. Sev- eral horses dropped dead in the street. WASHINGTON, D. C.. July 3.—The Weather Bureau to-day issued the follow- ing heat weather bulletin: “The area of unusually high tempera- ture this morn.ng includes nearly all the whole country east of the Rocky Moun- tains, except the middle Atlantic Coast and New Englang, the range above the normal amounting to from 210 18 degrees, and being the greatest in the lake region. Maximum temperatures of 100 degrees and over occurred yesterday at Charleston and Savannah, and of 90 and over in the entire region named. “The temperature throughout the lake region and the Ohio and Mississippi val- leys has been above the normal since the first of the month. There has been a con- siderable fall during the past twenty-four hours in the Missouri Valley and the Northwest. Continued high temperature is probable for Suuday over the eastern and southern portions of the United States. _ WirLrs D.
