4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1897 FEW VOTES AGAINST Tk BOULEVARD Sacramento County De- clares for a Model Highway. SILURIANS GO DOWN TO DEFEAT. Overwhelming Victory at the Polls for the Bond Proposition. FOLSOM ROAD WILL NOW BE BUILT. Members of the State Highway Commission Gratified Over the Result, Special Dispatch to THE CALL. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 4.—One cannot find a man in Sacramento County to-night who will say he voted against the Folsom bouleva:d. Of course there were a few who did, but when one tries to put his finger on them they are not there. The returns to-night show the greatest victory for progress aud prosperity ever chronicled in the county. The result in favor of bonding the county for the building of the Folsom road is nine to one. Even in the country, where some- thing like a showing was expected to be made by the silurins, they lost and a two-thirds vote was cast in favor of the project. At expert madean estimate of the vote of Folsom and gave to the oppo- sition no more than twenty votes, When the returns came in there were just three votes cast against it The only portion of the county which has laced itseif on record as opposed 1o the bond issue is found in the district of Supervisor Jenkins. Jenkins said to THE CALL correspondent that if the propo-i- n was defeated in his district he woul ing to take the responsibility. Now that it was defeated in that locality, the people down there will no doubt be glad that Jenkins has assumed %0 much. The little town of Galt, as was expected, piled up a big vote against the bonds. There were 5865 votes cast. Out of this very large vote there were only in op- position to the.bond proposition. The be vote by Supervisor districts was as fol- lows: Totals ...... veee. B00Z 763 The vote of the ci'y was 9 to 1; that of the country was 2 to'L. Commissioner Price of tne State board said to-night: ‘‘The result is most gratifying. Had we lost in Sacramento we would have been discourag d. Now, on the contrary, we feel much encouraged and believe that to- lay's vote means a new epoch in the his- of Cul.fornia so far, at least, as the auestion of good roads isconcerned. Our v ctory here was more pronounced than we expected, and 1 want to say right here that the Commissioners of Public High- #uvs extend congratulations and their bearty apprectation for the asssiznce given them by the San Francisco CALL. It has taken up the question of guoa roads in Sacramento County and the result of its efforts is told in this over- whelming victory. Again, on bebalf of my associat 5, I de-ire to ex.end our thanks and appreciation to that paper.” G. A. Luhrs d: "I wunt to make a public acknowledgment of my gratitude to THE CarL. [i was the first paper to take up the cause of good roads, and from ihe commencement of this fight to its close it bas never deserted us for a single day.” Throughout Sacramento County tnere are thousands of progressive people, who are shouting words ot prai-e for Marsden Manson, W. L. Ashe, J. R. Price, C. A. Luhrs, P. A. Cohn and M. H. Lauridsen, tbe men who worked night and day for the suecess which crowns their efforts to- night. FAKMEKS NSTITUTE.

Three Arizonians Who! Are Marked for { Murder. Outlaws Gather in Force Near Bisbee on a Mission of Revenge. Officers of Several Towns Prepar- ing to G va Them a Warm Receptlon. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. BISBE 4.—Black YJack's | gang was seen camped twenty miles south | of here, across tho line, to-day by a promi- | nent cattlieman on his way from Mexico. ‘ | There were nine men, all wellarmed, hav- ing good horses, and they had apparently gathered for some new exploit. The Mexi- | can knew three of the outlaws well, they | having been cowboys in this vicinity for anumber of years. A cowboy whom he | met before resching them told him | that the culthroats were in the vicinity | for the purpose of killing three men whom | they had marked. | Thefirst man they want is Bert Alvora, | the Willcox (Arizona) constable, who shot | and killed Bill King a few weeks ago while resisting arrest for drunkenness. King | a cowbo; no assisted Black Jack and | his gang to escape when they were so closely pursued last fall, just after the! robbery of the depot at Huachuca siding, and they have sworn to avenge hisdeuth, | The othier men are Deputy Sheriff Bill Hildreth and Line-nder Sam King. Hildreth has been hunting thes: men down for months, and it was he who first connected them with the Grant-station | train rovbery. Sam King is a marked man, because he caused them trouble | after they bad killed Line-rider Robinson | nearly two years ago. Two of these men have been warned to be on their guard. Hildreth left Tombstone this morning | for the line zlone in pursuitof a clew to the whereabouts of the gang, and couid | not be warned. Should he run upon i them alone uLe isadoomed man, and his s here to-n re very uneasy. For certain reasons the posses were taken off the trail.. The impression is | that it was because they thought it use- less to pursue the robbers inio the fast- nesses of the Ajo mountains, but such is | not the case. | The three members of the gang who | were arrested on Thanksgiving day at Fronteras—Jesste William:, Tom Ander- | <on and an unknow are still separated | from the main gang and were seen ves- | terday by a cattleman named Fi<her near | ihe Souse ranch at the base of tne Ajo| Mountains. These three outlaws, who were | hrown into jait at Fronteras on Thanks- | giving day for ‘‘shoo up” the gown, were beld nearly fo from the United authorities. At the end of that time a notorious Mex can outlaw arrived at Fronteras, had some conference with the authorities and the | men were heavily tined and turned loose. | They rode to La Morita Custom-house and slept there Sunday night and made for the Ajo Mountains in the morning. They leit an old stocking in a room at a hotel there with fourteen siiver dollars, which are in the hands of Fred Dcdge, Wells, Fargo & Co.’s detective, The coins are very badly mutilated, some being bant double by the force of the explosion of the safe in the express-car. From persons at La Morita it was learned that they inguired as to the time when the paymaster went through there to Na- cosari to pay off the men at work in the | mines there, and this may be the reason | for their gathering here. Telegrams are being sent in all direc- tions to-night reporting the whereabouts of the robbers. Officers have been work- | ing very quietly, and it is thoaght the drawing oft of tiie posses isablind to gain time to notify all small frontier towns in Mexico to be on the lookout and arrest the outlaws should they show up. As | soon as this is done a raid will be made on the gang from several arters, DAM GED BY FfROST. i | Fruit and Vegetables Suffer in Monterey County.

STANDS OPPOSED 10 ANNEXATION San Jose Grange Takes Up the Hawaiian Question. Strong Resolutions Which Are Practically Certain of Adoption. Declare the Acquiring of the Dis- tant Islands Would Be a Grave Error, Bpeclal Dispatch to THE CALL. SAN JOSE, Dec. 4.—Thbe meeting of San Jose Grange this morning was an enthu- siastic one, A resolu ion strongly oppos- ing the annexation of Hawaii to the United States was introduced and, after being read, was laid over antil the next meeting for aiscussien. The grange has tak-n great interest in the Hawaiisn question and at several ot its meetings has discussed the matter. When the resolu- tion comes up it will be strongly supporied, for a great many of the members are op- posed to making the islands a part of this couniry. The resolution introduced at to-day’s meeting was as follows: Resoived, That we, the Patrons of Hus- banary, believe the annexation of Hawaii by the United Stetes will be iraught with great danger to the peopie of this couutry, and es- o the peop.e of State. Fesolved, That we request our representatives in Cougress to use all nonorable means to pre- vent the annexation of these islands, for the foilowing reasons: The Hawaiian Islands are mainly masses of rocky and sterile mouutains, and the ciimate is untavorable 1o the workingmen of the European ruces, consequently the greatbody peopie will always be Asiatics and Polyne- t the population is 109,000, )0 are Caucusians. Our Americau iustitutions are entirely un- suited 1o tne government of dependencies,ther- fore Hawail would soon become & Sta e of our Uuiou, coutrolled and managed by great cor- porations and political bosses. Assugar is the only productof any consid- erable value on these islands, and as this product wouid come drectly into competition with the beet-sugar indusiry of this coast, we believe this new and promisiug industry of ours would be greaily crippled, ana peihaps destroyed.

England Alone Will Send One Hun- dred Thousand to the Richest Gold Fields. A gentleman recently arrived from the East by way of Seattle, called yesterday ! upon Collector of the Port Jackson and made some statements of a hizhly sensa- tional character with regard to the gola- diggings in the Klondike and the world- wide interest that 1s being taken in them. He claimed to have reliable-information that England alone woula furnish 100,000 persons who would start in the spring to tempt foriune in the frozen depths of the Klondike. In Seattie, he estimated that to-day there are 30,000 strangers from other places wintering tuere who are waiting until the spring to go to the diggi.gs. Some of them are erecting tents in which to live until that time. There is much more excitement in the Eastern States than there 1s in Cal fornia regarding the vast fislds of gold in Alaska, and 1t is believed by mining men that there is more gold in Alaska than in any other country in the world. The gola beds are believed to extend over thousands of square miles. ‘The gentieman reported also that the excitement in New York, Boston, Phila- delphia and other cities is intense, and that the wigration o people from those cities 10 the Pacific Coast in the spring will be more remarkable in point of num- bers than it was in the davs of '49 and '50. He suid that the people, e<pecially tua business men of 8an Krancisco, are asleep as to the importance of the matter, and that if they Jdo not wake up soon they will lose one of the best opporiunities for trade that they have ever had. —————— Sult Over Window Glass.

Superin‘endent O’Brien’s Ac- tion in Deposing Him Overruled. Amador County Citizens Petltion for an Investigailon of the R:formatory. Epecial Dispatch to THE CALL. IONE, Dec. 4 —After alengthy consid- eration of the case of Major R. M. Blair the Board of Trustees o: the Preston School late last night reinstated Blair as military instructor at the institution. This action vindicated him of the charges | preferred by Sup-rintendent O'Brien, | when Blair was ousted recently from his | position. Dr. Brown made a statement of the trouble to the board. He said that two boys were imprisoned in the tower, with | orders that no one be permitted to see them. This order was given, said the superintenient, because on.several occa- si ns when boys had been rightfuily pun- isked sonie one had obtained exaggerated statements from them and made them public as accusations against himself. Blair had disobeyed orders by going to | the tower, talking with the boys and re. poriing that they wers somewhat bruised. | Captain Huzh B. Cox testified that Major Blair came to him and demanded the master key, which was refused him. | then went to Captain Timothy Lee, | ob ained the master key from him and visited the tower. Watchman Scully, who overheard the conversation between Blair and Cox, de- clared on the witness-stand that nothing was said about where the orders to permit no one to enter the tower came from. As to his own discharge, he had been given no reason for it. Captain Cox was recalled and asked as | to tbe condition of the two boys in the | tower that morning. He said that one | had a black eye, while the other had been somewhat bruised by the punishment in- flicted upon him. The boys had been ais- | ciplined by one of tke instructors. Cox was a-ked if he knew of buys ever being punished too severely, ana he replied in the affirmative, citing the cases of Rod- erick and Russell. Major Blair was questioned as to the orders barring entrance 1o the tower. He said they were delivered through scbordi- nates of his, and in consequence he was not disobeying orders in ignoring them The board spent an hour in executive session, and at the end of that time re- ported baving adopted a resolution rein- stating Bl.ir, and thus vindicating him of al! charges.

SALT LAKE, Dec. 4.—Throughout the city to-day there 1s much exciiement and | indignation because of the action of lhe‘ teachers’ quorum at the First Bishop's !

Critchlow was on the reguiar ing in the community, but there were | some Mormons who opposed him and | Symons was nominated in bis stead. Although the manifesto issued some years ago by the high officials of the Mor- | mon church declared the church wasout | of politics and that 1ts members were to | join whichever of the political parties | hey deemed best, and while for a time at | east there was every reason to believe | that the leaders meant what they said, there were evidences at several late e.ec- | tions that church influence, or the infiu- ence of high cflicials in the Mormon | church, had been used ana was being used. In the last municipal campaign this was very noticeable and was ireely commented upon by both Mormon ana non-Mormon. The leaders of the Mormon church are in a position to either prove that Bowen was expelled ‘or reasons other than have Failure in either case will but confirm the dea that is now prevalent throughout | Jtan that the manifesto of the leaders | was issued merely as a blind. “This,” says the Tribune, once the bit- ter foe, but latterly the ally of th- Mor- mon peope, ‘‘is a serious matter.

Utah is never going to be a slave State; | that matter was decided in 1865, so far as the bodies of men are concerned, and that kin i of slavery is not half as degrading as the slavery of the soul.” A prominent non-Mormon was heard to say to-day: *I regr-t it very much, but it looks to me as though the old fight was once more to be renewsd.

It is generally expected that the meet- ing of the Election Commissioners on Tuesday morning next will be a lively one, for at that time the election officers for the freeholders’ election will be selected. | Both wings of the local Democracy claim | the right to representation, and the battle | between the Raineyites and the Sullivan- ites will be a bitter one. 1f Registtar Hinton had the deciding vote the Democratic officers would be selected from the ranksof the Sullivan- Deuprey forces, for he is listed on their side of the war for local supremacy. | Those on the “inside” of the situation say that Rainey has the majority of the Board of Commissioners and that the candidates of his faction of t .e party will be recognized. The executive committee of the Deu- prey-Sullivan general committee met last night to consider names suggested for election officers. The recommendations from the several As<embly d:stricts were accepted, and & hard fight will be made to Lave the candidates accepted. The Rainey people have not yet agreed on | tiheir eleciion officers and will meet on Monday night to complete their list. The executive committee of the Repub- lican party also met last night to select election cfficers, but were unable to com- plete the work. They will meet to-mor- row night and agree on the cfficers who will be recommended from the ninety- four combined precincts. The County Committes of the People’s varty met at 91514 Marketstreet last night and indorsed the nominations of Patrick Swift and Joseph Rosenthal, who were selected by the Raineyites to fill the va- cancies on the fusion ticket caused by the deciinations of Henry F.
