AUBURN, CarL., July 9.—All Christian Endeavor trains pass this point, and o- night finds that there are still ten trains on the road. When entering the State of Nevada last night the Pullman car Marion | caught fire ana was only saved by the | prompt action of Miss Blanche Hickem of Manchester, N. H. Many of the trains breakfast or dinner at Auburn, and they are royally treated at thedepot. Oneen- thusiastic farmer brought in a whole peach | tree just as it had been growing in his orchard full of luscious fruit. The acci- dents thus far hayve been most trivial con- | sidering the number of trains on the road. A woman was reported killed at Colfax last night, but upon investigation there was found to be nothing in it. Two horses were run over in Bloomer Cut this morning, but the train was not derailed. Great damage is likely to be done the and shipper, however. This L of the Eastern frait and there havs been no cars resching their destination for a week. | Two hundred frnit cars are reported side-tracked at Boca, and many cars are awaiting to be moved at Auburn, New- | castle, Loomis and Penryn. e RUSH AT THE FERRIES. | Piles of Trunks Tell of the Very Large Traffic. The rush at the ferries still continues, | and thousands of trunks are still awaiting delivery. The transfer men and the spe- clal-delivery agents are worked to a standstill, and all they can do is to wearily ask where the desired trunk or valise is. That starts tne traveler off on asearch | 1 half a day. | tions from Con- nearly all the | runks were spread out over the floor of e new ferry depot, in order to give | ch man or woman a chance to identify | r beloneings.

The number of trunks removed each day is very grear, but the number in by each train is even greater, that the piles in the new ferry depot | hourly grow larg | The California delegation is well repre- | sented at the ferries, and the members are very active in helping out the bewildered | excursionists. The chances are that by | to-night & break will be made in the dead- lock and the majority of the delayed ba gage will be in thes possessior of its| owners. | WRECKED TRAIN. | About 150 Indianians Arrive Here | After Three Days’ Delay. | The Golden Gate special, containing | about 150 Indiana Endeavorers, arrived | here yesterday early in the day, and took | quarters at the Lick and Grand.

Trains Continue to Bring in Scat- tering Delegations. | News th delight the Christian | tourists in San Francisco is the announce- ment that the N ns Institute | of Artwill adm ists wiihout chaging | them a fe badge of the Christian | Enceavor will be as good s a ticket. sts from the Blue Moun- liege, Blue Mountain, ze of its president, Rev. Lowrey, arrived in this City at | yesterday. The party is mostly | ed of young people, representa- | of some of the best families of the | Mi-sissippi. So far the trip bas ed some extensive sight-seeing in incly the Eastern States, and a visit to the far- famed metropolis of tne Pacific Slope is the wi d-up of a most enjoyable vacation, are assured of » most hearty wel- come. The demand for Yosemite Valley ex- cursion tckets is unprecedented. Many of the tourists arriving yesterday were anxious to secure tickets for and accom- modations in the valley with as little delay as possible. A party of Christian tourists form Mis- souri had a delightful sail on the bay yes- terday. A party of sixty-four Boston tourists took carriages from the Palace Hotel yes- terday for_the trip to the Presidio, Butro Baths, Cliff House and Golden Gate Park. The United Carriage Company has re- duged the rate for this trip. Headguarters of the Tennessee delega- tion have been established in room 10, Grand Hotel. The Christian Endeavor tourists from Nashville and other points iIn Tennessee arrived yesterday after- noon. Quite a number of Christian Endeavor- ers from Philadelphia arrived at 3 p. M. yesterday, Many of them found rooms at the Grand Hotel. Manager Thorn of the Grand yesterday found accommodations for 150 tourists from Tennessee, for 40 from Alabama and 21 from Mississippi. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Palace Hotel had provided shelter under its roof for 1200 guests. Only a few more can be accommodated, as cots will not be used in the corridors or parlors. LIKE BEULAH-LAND. Christian Endeavor Pilgrims Es- cape thé Eastern Hot Wave, While the Christian Endeavor hosts are delightfully wandering in the Beulah. land along the racific Coast the mercury is boiling high in the thermometers througbout the heated East. Providence has evidently continued the golden sun- shine to bless and the soft, cooling breezes to blow over the beribtoned armies of the cross now pilgrimaging here, and it would seem that the Weather Bureau has seized the opportunity to do a lir'e warm work in a climatic way else- where. Albeit while the former is making sweet and pleasant the way of the travelers by the Western sea, the latter is scorching through the length and breadth of the Mississippi Valley and literally seething up and down the lake region.. And the fervency of this visitation may be known by the recorded thermal fi:ures, In New York yesterday the tempersture was 80 | State. deg., while in Chicago this morning, in the cold of the dawn, the lift of the mer- cury was to the eighty-fourth degree. Buffalo registered 92 and Louisyille, Ky., | 95, while at Kckomo, Ind., the high-heat mark was 105 deg. Coming westward the fignres dropped with Omaha at 80 in the cool of the morn- ing. At the line of the Nevadas the Weather Bureau pyidently lost its hold on the chimate, and the Christian Endeavor- | ers breathed in a day temperature of 6) and a night rate of 54 deg. Forecaster Hammon, in his airy office | near the roof of the Mills building, states | that the fizures wiil drop from now on, during this evening, uniess the Los An- geles excursionists, who are not Christian Endeavorers but visitors irom the warm belt practically taking advantage of the §2 rate to visit S8an Francisco, bring in a hot wave. In that case the usual fog will come in from the ocean and the pilgrims will ask for tleir wraps and overcoats now locked in the mass of trunksnow hopelessly lost at thé ferry depot. Yorecaster Hammon, who is an earnest Christian Endeavorer himself, does not subseribe to the theory that the Weather Bureau orders clitaate contrary to the will of Providence. The two offices iabor in conjunction, he avers, and often behind a frowning sky the burean hides a smil- ing iace. In the meantime the pilgrims are singing hosannas in the balmy Pacitic vales while the thermometers are bub- | biing in the fervent heat of their Eastern homes, | PRETTY SOUTHERN GIRLS They Awaken Echoes by Singing Many Popular Songs. The Grand Hotel was invaded yesterday by a throng of pretty girls from Tennes- see and Kentucky, who, with their es- corts, all members of the Christiun En- deavorers, arrived here in a special train early yesterday. When they marched into the hotel they sang ‘‘Nashville, '98," anew song to the air of Dixie, specially composed, and many patriotic and other pieces, including a song, “‘Tennessee for | Christ.” The delegation attracted a great deal of interest. W. Nowell, State president of the Christinn Endeavorers, was chairman of the delegation. Heisa young drum- mer of Nashville, who, besides telling groceries by wholesale, devotes a great deal of time to the Christian Endeavor. Among others of the party was the Rev. Ira Landrith, chairman of the Nashville '98 convention and managing editor of the Cumberland Presbyterian. He is a mas- sive young man, whose athletic physique and fine face make him conspicuous. He gave some details of the trip, which, he said, had been very pleasant.

Baptists Make a Demand for the Old Instrument. Who shall have Cary’s hammer? That is the question agitating the minds of some of the Baptist ministers who are in attendance upon the Christian Endeavor Convention. At the Baptist rally yesterday afternoon, | Rev. Howard B. Grose, in relating the his. tory of the cobbler’s hammer, stated that it was going to England, then to Indiaana then to be returned to England, In the audience was Rev. J. D. Wood, a prominent Baptist missionary of this He is nothing if not loyal to the Baptist cause. So at close he demanded that the hammer, which is so connected with Baptist history, should be sent 1o Cbattanooga, Tenn., to the annual con- vention of the Baptist Young People's Union of America, which is to convene in that city next Thursday. Cortland Myers, upon whom this de- mand was made, said: “Oh, no. That hammer will stay here. It is Christian Endeayor property.” Mr. Wood thinks differently. He left | . The Rev.

Mr. Myers may be mistaken when he said that the Christian Endeavorers would keep the Lammer; at least I | think so. “Why are the Baptists to take a back | seat when Baptists have the greatest nu- merical strength of any denomination in the United States?

Not if I can helpit.” THE LAST SPECIAL IN. It Brought a Lively Throng of Pennsylvanian People. The last Endeavorer train from Ogden arrived bere last night mear midnight, thus winding up the special train service | to the convention. The Endeavorers in | this case were from Pennsyivania. There were about 250 of them, and these with the 1200 other Pennsylvanians, the num- ber alleged to have preceded tnem, swelled the visitors from the Keystone Btate to a point fully equaling Nebraska. Of the last Pennsylvanians, 29 of them, | all of whom were from Philadelphia, went | to the Occidental, while the others found | quartersin the Falace, Grand and all over, The Pennsylvanians were delayed en | route before reaching Ogden. They were a jolly lot notwithstanding the delay and | took things very philosophically. No other excursionists are to arrive here 80 far as known except the Hazel party of about 100 due to-day. Tuey are not coming, however, on pecial train. The following trains arrived yesterday. They were scheduled (o arrive at Oakia from Ogden as follows: Maryland at 1 A M.; Denver and Chicago at 11:40 A.

There hasn’t been a train out of Ogden for twen- r hours, except one section of a reg- MAYOR WOOD'S VIEWS Says the Christian Endeavor Will Advance Christianity. Very few cities, especially Western cities, can boast of a Christian Endeavor Mayor, but the city of Seattle, Wash., has one, and he is one of the most enthusi- astic delegates. His name is Wiltiam D. Wood. He went from San Francisco to Seattle in 1882 and commenced the prac- tice of law. He was Probate Jjudge of King County in 1886 and 1887, a member of the State Senate in 1889, and a regent of the University of Washington from 1893 tv 1896, when he resigned to become Mayor of Seattle. “Yes, I came down as a delegate to the convention,” said Mr. Wood yesterday; “‘but this 1s not by any means my first visit. I was born in ‘Cow County,’ ju across the bay, at the town of Tomales, and lived in the State twenty-three years before going north in 1852, “The convention 18 all right. It is im- mense, and California and old ‘'Friseo’ are all right, too. “Coristian Endeavor will take the phil- osophy of Jesus Christ from its past posi- tion as a system of theology and engraft afiernoon was well attended. Father Clark, who presided, stated that the ob- ject of the meeting was to obtain an ex- change of ideas as 1o the best method of bringing the labors of the Endeavorers to the aid of the church. He gave 3 brief ' history of the Christian Endeavor Society | from 1ts inception in his church sixteen vears ag). He said the object of the Christian Endeavor Society was not to get up street parades and decorations when holding conventions, but was to carry the inspiration of Christ back into the church. “Now,” he said, “'we will get from those assembled such ideas as they have regard- 1ng tke work of the Eudeavorers in their home churches.” Acting on this invitation, the first to speak was D. R. Weidon of Eureka, who stated that in his church there were 300 attendants at prayer-meetings, in which the Endeavorers were always present. Fotlowing this delegaies from every por.ion of the country addréssed the meet- ing. Dr. Mecad of Adelaide, Australia, said he had traveled almost round the world to hs present st the convention. The doctor gave his views on the way the Endeavorers labored in the colonies. His remarks were received with applause. The Sunday-school question was the next taken up for consideration, but there were no new theories advanced on this subject. After an exchange of good fellowship the meeting then adjourned SACrgel R PRAYER AT THE GRILL. While the grill rooms of the Palace Hotel were crowded with noonday lunch- ers and while the court, corridors and of- fice were thronged with tourists and spec- tators a Christian Endeavor division, under the leadership of Father Clark and Secre- tary Baer, was organized for a service of prayer, song and exhortation. Father Clark made a spirited and eloguent im- promptu address from a platform in the court. He was followed by Secretary Baer who asked divine blessing upon the work. In announcing the service of song Mr. Baer asked his' comrades ‘to show their colors in this great City. He prayed for the disappointed hosts who were delayed on the rail 2nd noped they would arrive in time to p-mci];_ne in the great work of the meeting. ne congregation sang “‘America’ with eloquent effect and a great round of applause was given. e REFORMED CHURCH RALLY. The rally of the Reformed Church in America at the Simpson M. E. Church was conducted by Rev. James M. Dick- son, D.D., of Brooklyn, N. Y. Some sev- enty-five representatives of the denomi- nation were present. Delayed trains hin- dered a large attendance; but this, better known as the Dutch Reformed church, is entirely an Eastern church—its strength being chiefly in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is the oldest Prot- estant church in the United State At the rally addresses were made by Dr. Dickson, the chairman, Rev. A. Durpa, Rev. E. W. Thompson, Rev. A. L. Mershon and Rey. W. E. Davis of New Jersey, and by Rev. Joseph Dixon and Rev, J. E. Lyall of New York. The Reformed Church in_America has flourishing missions 1n Ind China, Japan ana Arabia; and isengaged in ex- tensive home missionary work in the Cen- tral Northwest, as was stated at the rally. BOGUS WHITECAPS. There are bogus whitecaps in town, and they are causing much trouble. Many are the tales of woe told at the 1897 head- quarters of missing telescopes, hand bags, ete. It seem: that the wicked bunko steerers of this City have assamed the white caps of the reception committee and they lie in waiting for the unsuspi- cious visiting Endeavorers at the ferries. Then under the pretense of helping the luggage-laden visitors they kindly offer to relieve them of some of their bacrgage and belp them on the cars. Of course their offer is generally accepted with glee, after which they disappear into the crowd and fade trom view, leaving their victims to bemoan their loss. Wearers of these bogus caps have also been seen behind the counters of a cigar-stand. All this is ex- tremely annoying, but nothing can be done save to warn the Endeavorers not to be credulous. Mrs. Frank Ellis of 8an Francisco, while standing in front of the registration booth at the Mechanics’ Pavilion yesterday, lost a gold watch. As soon as she missed it it upon and into the daily Iife of all peo- | she seized the nearest man, Joe Goyette, ple. and Bunday limits into the store, the | shop, the athletic field, into the entire world of youthful fun and enjoyment, into society, into business and education, and, more important than any other practical thing, into politics and public life. “Our trip down was perfect, and we had a bright, jolly and enthusiastic crowd, such as can only be found on a Chrisiian Endeavor train. “Ban Francisco bas done splendidly. Not an item, whether comprehensive or minute, hus been forgotten. *1 knew old Frisco would do well, as she always does, but did not anticipate the universal spirit of welcome that pervades every one—car men, policemen, restaurant waiters, merchants, and of course all the Endeavorers and charch people.” PASTORS CONFER. The meeting ot the pastors and church officers at Odd Fellows’ Hall yesterday It will carry it beyond church walls | and held him until a policeman could be summoned. By the time the officer ar- rived (ne watch had been returned in some manner to the booth. Charles Buckley, a young Endeavorer, said he saw Mrs. Ellis drop the watch and Goyette pick it up and hand it toa companion. The man who had received the watch had disappeared. Goyette was taken to the Central police station and held on the detinue book. e NOTES AND NOTICES. In the evening 1t was found necessary to hold an overflow meeting at Odd Fel- lows' Hall. A number of speakers were there and held the attention of a good- sized audience. The recepticn to the delegates of the Floating Society, announced for thiseven- ing at Mariners’ Church, will bs held in- | stead ai Bethany Congregtaional Church, Twenty-third and Capp streets. The State presidents will hand in their IN THE ROOM CONTAINING THE MISSIONARY EXHIBITS, reports this morning at _Woodwaru’s _I‘u; vilion; the State secretaries at Mechanics Pavilion. o Immediately after this morning’s meet- ings at the two pavilions four open-air mretings will be held on V:mNes:a\'e’nue. A men’s meeting will be held at Wood wara’s Pavilion on next Sunday, at P. M. Rey. Dr. Chatman of Philadelphia and Rey. Dr. Ottman of Newark, N. T will make addresses on this occasion. There was quite a pretty sight at the Pavilion yesterday, when fifty of the re- ceptiorn committee formed into a proces- sion and marched all through the Pavilion singing Endeavor hymns. In less time than it takes to tell there was a iarge crowa following them about. They finally went into the auditorium and sang for fully half an hour. A St Louis girl was weighel in the Palace Hotel court yes'erday. When her registered weight of pounds was an- nounced, she exclaimed: ‘'l have gained | SiX pounds since I left St. Louis one Wee}(v ago, and have had only one meal a day. A Chicago girl whose weight was 120 said she lost two pounds on the trip from Chicago to Salt Lake, and gained three on the way from Balt Lake to San Fran- cisco. AN EFFICIENT COMMITTEE. Thougn the convention is but one day old the press committee has already in a marked manner demonstrated its effi- ciency, Probably at no other great con- vention of a national character than tiis Lave better facilities or readier servicz been extended to the newspaper repre- sentatives whose duty it way to report the proceedings of such convention. The per- sonnel of this committee is as follows: George B. Littlefield (chairman), James F. Mason (vice-chairman), James W. Treadwell, Lester B. Smith, Miss L. A. Hofmann, Miss Eva Whalley, Miss Janet Hopps, alter Parsons Clark, Miss A. Dougal Mattbews, L. J. Harrison, Miss Daisy Lincoln, Harold Warren, Kirk Simpson, Miss Edith L. Day, Fabias Finch, e AT THE HOSPITALS. The emergency hospitals. have proved a blessing to the ladies during the con- vention. This is not an indication that the maie attendants have not used them, but the ladies are in a great majority. Only one case of heart trouble has been treated, but it is safe to say that numer- ous cases have not vet been treated. And when they are it will not be a case for a hospital. The loss of sensation in the foot was too much for the trained nurses to diagnose. ‘I'wo cases of hives, two of abrasion of the knee caused by falls, two epistaxisand acute tonsilitis, four with foreign sub- stance in the eye and one each caused from overeating cherries, epilepsy, ague and toothache, besides twenty-five cases of syncope, have been cared for. EXTRA MEETINGS. Overflow meetings were held last night in five different places. At each the house was packed except in front of the pavilion, where there was a great crowd. The }:\Ieleung places and the speakers were as lollows: 0dd Fellows’ Hall—Lecture on “Life Savers’ by Rev. Luther R. Dyott of Newark, N. J.

At the meeting of the Committee of '97 held yesterday afternoon it was decided to to close the Mechanics’ Pavilion entirely on Sunday except during the Sabbath ob- servance meeting. It was also decided to invite Mayor Phelan, the Board of Super- visors, the Merchants’ Association, Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, civic and business bodies generally to a reception in the Pavilion this afternoon. SRy PAY ALL BILLS. The following notice was issued last night, and shows how thoroughly the | business end of the great convention is going: To the Press: Will you please give notice that the committee of '97 are ready to pay all bills, and desire that any claims against them should be presented in due form atonce, in order that they may be audited before the close of the convention. Yours truly, C. Z. MERRITT, Chairman Press Committee. —_ SMALL CHANGE SCARCE. One commendable act among the many is that of the management of the Postal Telegraph Company. Seeing the great demand for small change on Wednesday they sent out $100 in sma'l silver to their Pavilion office, and have been kept pretty busy ever since making cnange to accom- modate, not alone their patrons, but all who asked for such accommodation. THE MISSOURIANS. To the average Californian the Missouri delegation is a surprise. For many years it has, for some sirange reason, been a joke in the West to compare Missourians with the great army of the illiterate ana unwashed. Many people thought the Missouri delegation to the convention would be readily distinguished by a slouchy garb and by general hayseed pro- clivities. The fact is that tLe Missourians are among the most distinguished appear- ing of all the delegates in the City. They are at the Palace and every one has in- quired for the baths daily. They do not carry gingerbread in their hands nor hay- seed in their hair. The bunco man avoids them, and they have been taken for traveling men_from wide-awake Chicago or belles from Baltimore. 20 S CONFIDENCE MEN. Stories of the unscrupu'ous treatment of the visiting Endeavorers by bunko- steerers, confidence operators and the many others who ply their trade atthe expense of unsuspecting victims have been but few, and these few have upon in- vestization proven to be the result of ac- cident rather than misplaced confidence. A few of the visiting bost have reported at headquarters the los« of luggace. car- pod b et S ol oAk XEW TO-DAY. NO ENGLISH CAPITAL OR NON-UNION LABOR Employed in the Production of Enterprise Beer.

C, July 9.—The nomination of Sterling A. Campbell as Collector of Customs at Eureka, Cal., hav- ing been favorably reported to the Senate by the Commerce Committee, will doubt- less be confirmed. Some chargzes have been made sgainst Mr. Campbell, but they are not considered sufficient to pre- vent his contirmation. It is believed that S:nator White will not make a very hard right against Campbel', who is regarded by all of the Californians in Washington as a good man for the place. ana e Latter-Day Snints at Monterey. MONTEREY, Cir, July 9.—A mission- arv tent in which the doctrines of the “Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Lstter-day Saints’’ are being set forth to all who enter has been set up on a vacant lot on Alvsrado street. ‘Chose in charge hope to make many converts to thelr faith. The Latter-day Saints a ect of Mormons, who claim to abhor pol}pmy and who follow the teachings of Joseph Smith instead of those of Brigham Young. It 1s this sect which has gained such strength in Independence, Mo., the town which its adherents call the New Jeru- salem and where they confidently expect their great Latter-day Temple to rise from the ground upon a spot consecrated by some early prophet of their religious doctrine. SEALS New Industry on Pender Island. VANCOUVER, B. C., July 9.—The Japanese on Pender Island have beguna curious new industry, which may grow to large and profitable proportions. The_y catch in trawl nets quantities of the edi- ble sea slug, known as the Beche de Mer, or sea cucumber. These are shipped to Ching, where it is said they bring as much as $15 a pound, being much esteemed for soups and other dishes. Dr. Walkem M.P.P. who is a naturalist and has often trawled the British Columbia waters, claims that hundreds of pounds of these red sea siugs can ofien be caught at a time for curing and shipment to China. 1f so the trade will not long be left to the Japanese alone in this province of many white fishermen. e Eoho of Stockton’s Election. STOCKTON, CAL., July 9.—Webster & Summerville to-day filed an unusial answer in the suit brought in Judge Parker’s courl against L. Grothwell by ex-City Assessor Rowe. Rowesued tocol- lect a bill for a map and in the answer of thedelendant it is claimed that if any onie has a cause of action against Grothwell it is the city of Stockton, as the map was made in consideration of Grothwe!l furih- ering Rowe’s candidacy for Assessor. The answer states that it is against public policy and morals for a city official to per- form labor for an outsider as an individual and not as an official. This is the case in which Grothwell brought a counter suit for compensation for electioneering for Rowe. ———— Plyler and Schoeds Held. SANTA CRUZ, CaL., July 9.—The at- torneys for the defepse in the case of George F. Plyler and M. Schoede did not offer any testimeny to-day on behalf of the prisoners at the preliminary examina- tion in Justice Gardner’s court, but urged a motion to dismiss. Justice Gardner de- nied the motion, holding the prisoners to answer before the Superior Court, with bail fixed at $20,000 each. Ths prisorers were then taken back to jail. An effort is to be made to have the Superior Court order the bail reduced. SERPTL L Secott Leciures at Wrights. WRIGHTS, CAn, July 9.—Irving M.
