Arrangements for the military games to be given at Central Park are progress- ing rapidly and a most successful meet is promised. The events will be mostly composed of those pecullar to milit tournaments, and each of these ha distinct value as a means of instruction to the soldier as well as being an interest- ing contest to witnes: will be a wall scaling contest, in which the prize will go to that squad which first gets Its five men over a wall ten feet high, the men to fire twenty-five shots at an imaginary enemy Another event is a man is separated from his shoes by fifty yards, and then after the shoes of all the men in the race have been thoroughly mixed the men are started. find their own shoes, put them on and he wins who first reaches the scratch again with his shoes properly laced and neatly tied. A feature which adds interest to the event is that any man who picks up the wrong shoe is at liberty to throw it as far away from him as he can. There will also be a hasty entrenchment race, in which each man will be given five min- utes to entrench himself, the man mak- ing the best cover to win. The managers of the flower market have progressed as far as the appointing of two judges to pas which will bloom in Union Square. The judges chosen are Mayor Phelan and John McLaren, superintendent of the park; there will be three other judges appointed, but the exhibitors will be con- sulted before they will be named. It has been decided to offer five prizes ranging from $50 downward, and this number will be increased if the executive committee can spare the money.

Mary Wiseman, a little child 8 years of age ilving with her parents at 506B Turk street, was knocked down by a milk wagon last evening at Larkin and Turk streets and received a severe laceration of the scalp. She was treated at the Recelving Hospital by Dr. Torney, and was afterward removed to her home. e Death of a Pensloner. An 0ld man named Charles Schmidt was found dead in bed at 8 o’clock vesterday morning in the What Cheer House. The deceased was a native of Germany and s old. He had been a United States nsioner for many years. An autopsy at the Morgue disclosed the fact that asthma was the cause of death.

Statement of a Resident of the Neigh- JPorhood—Made a Big Winning That. Day. Murdered for the winnings he had swon that day at the Oakland race track | and his body cast upon the track of the | ‘West Berkeley train to divert suspi- | clon. { Evidence is accumulating that such was the fate of Joseph H. Raeside, the horseman, at Shell Mound last Thurs- day night. That the Coroner's jury, impaneled by Coroner Baldwin of Ala- meda County, inclined to this belief is | shown by the verdict returned by them | last night, to the effect “that death was | caused in some manner unknown.” When the unfortunate man's re- | mains were first picked up it was the | opinion of the railroad men that he | had thrown himself in front of the lo- comotive with suicidal intent, but this | bellef was dissipated as soon as the Coroner and his assistants began an investigation. Their first inquiries tepded to show that Raeside had stum- bled onto the track while intoxicated, | but the deeper the tragedy was probed the more firmly convinced Coroner | Baldwin became that the man was the | victim of thugs, and finally he called upon the police authorities for assist- ance. Detectives Holland and Herbert were detailed on the case, and they, | too, express themselves as satisfled that murder has been committed. There are many circumstances tend- ing to substantiate this view. Raeside was known to have made a large win- ning on Ricardo at 30 and 40 to 1 that day, the first of any consequence for a long time. Shortly after 9 o’clock that night he was seen by an acquaintance in this city, apparently sober, hurrying along XKearny street toward Market, evident- ly to board a car for the ferry. Then a brakeman on the Berkeley train re- members a man who tallies with Rae- side’s description get off at Shell Mound about 10:40 o'clock. The brakeman says the person he saw may have been slightly ‘under the influence of liquor, but was by no means intoXicated. But there are other things which ‘were brought out at the inquest last :»ight, and the Alameda County au- thorities will sift the matter to the bot- | house.

All the trainmen declare they | heard no sound, so it may be that the | shriek Holland_heard was uttered by | | Raeside when dttacked by robbers. The West Berkeley train runs on to a side track In coming into Shell Mound station. The engine is un- coupled and runs ahead onto the main track again, then backs down to the switch it first came on and back to the single car it draws. This occupies | less than two minutes, and when it | first ran on to the switch Thursday night nothing was to be seen of Rae- side. When it came back the second time the man was lying on the track. The engineer tried to stop his engine, but could not do so in time and the wheels severed the head from the body | and cut off the legs. On the east side of the track there is & fence extending | toward the station fully 100 feet be- | yond where the body lay, and it would be hardly possible for a drunken man to walk that far before the engine re- | turned. There would be ample time, | | however, to throw the body over the | fence and place it across the track and for the murderers to jump back over | the fence and out of sight. Raeside slept at the race track near | the gate opposite Shell Mound, so that | Is where he would get off the trafn. | He would have no business near the | West Berkeley track and certainly | none where he was run over.

WERE CAPTURED -~ TERY CLEVERLY Notorious Burglars Arrested Last Evening by Offi- cer Thompson. Two notorious burglars, recognized as Frank Mitchell and Sidney Kellett, were arrested by Officer E. J. Thompson late last evening on Howard street, near | Twelfth. While standing at Mission and Fifteenth streets Thompson saw the two men, who were acting in a peculiar man- | ner, and followed them to the place) where they were arrested. Kellett was | placed on the detention book at the | Seventeenth Street Police Station and | Mitchell was charged with carrying burglars’ tools. Mitchell was in posses- sion of a jimmy and several articles of jewelry, supposed to have been stolen were in Kellett's possession. Kellett is at the present time out on bonds, pending an appeal on a one year's sentence for carying concealed weapons, and he is well known by the police as a'| desperate character. )iltchell and Kel- lett have been closely watched for several days past and the capture is supposed to be clever as well as fortunate for the residents in the Mission. While the men were passing down the street they were evidently taking notes of the lay of the land, as they stopped for a short time in front of each house on the trip. ————————— Asthma, bronchitis, cure guarant'd.

This Material to Be Employed inJoliner Work, as Provided in the Specifications. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Secretary Long has directed that the specifications for the construction of the battleships Kearsarge, Kentucky, Alabama, Wiscon- sin and Illinois, providing for the build- ing of the joiner work with fire-proof wood be carried out. This comprises over two-thirds of the woodwork in the ves- sels named. The Secretary says that after a careful consideration of the advantages derived from the use of electro fire-proof wood on naval vessels it is decided that no electro fire-proof wood shall be hereafter used for the decking of naval vessels, as the advantages that might be derived from the use of such wood are incommen- surate with the cost of the same, and that its use on torpedo-boats now under construction be discontinued, as_there is | so little. woodwork on them, but that electro fire-proof wood shall be used in all joiner work of the new battleships as yrovided in the specifications accompany- ng the contract therefor, as the advan- tages to be derived from its use for such purposes would seem to justify the in- creased cost incident thereto. It was officially announced at the Navy Department to-day that Civil Engineer A. G. Menocal had been ordered to return to New York and report his arrival to the department by telegraph. It is ex- pected at the department that Menocal will return to the United States within the next ten days. Chief Engineer Kirby has been trans- ferred from the Baltimore to the hospital in San Francisco. THE CONGREGATION THROWN INTO PANIC. A Prankish Boy, Dressed as the Devil, Plays a Trick that May Have Serious Results. CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—A special to the Times-Herald from Bourbon, Ind., says: Rev. Mr. Akin, pastor of the flock of Bethel Church, on Sunday took for his theme “His Satanic Majesty.” He is an eloquent man and he painted the arch- fiend in vivid colors. At the climax of the description a belng dressed to repre- sent the devil, with large head and switching tail, ambled up the aisle, blow- ing smoke from his nostrils and bellow- ng: [ am the devil and T want all of you.” The audience became panic-stricken. the floor and trampled upon in the mad rush for the door. In the confusion the stove was upset and the building caugnt fire. Before the horrified members had regained their senses the fire had made such headway that all attempts to save the church were in vain. This morning George Akin, son of the pastor, confessed that he, in company with other boys, rigged up a devil suit, ang knowing the subject of his father's ‘sermon concealed himself behind a_ chair and awaited the arrival of the audience. cmE e PRICES OF CALIFORNIA PRUNES TO BE ADVANCED. But in Other Fruits the New York Markets Are Well Supplied and the Figures Are Low. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—The Journal of Commerce says: Telegrams received this morning from its principals in California instructed a commission house here, to advance prices, as no more goods were to be had on the coast at less than 3 cents f. 0. b. for Santa Clara fruit, and the stock of northern and _southern prunes was closely controlled by specu- lators. The feeling in lemons is steady, owing to the comparatively small quan: tity of Sicily fruit on the spot and to arrive, but, while the tendency of prices on the latfer is upward, rather free of- ferings of California fruit in the inferior markets at comparatively low figure: revent any improvement in prices. Sel ers, however, are confident and look for better figures during the coming week. Jamaica oranges are quiet, but prices are maintained. Florida oranges are in small stock and in few hands. The mar- ket is firm, but we hear of little demand. Valencia oranges are about out of mar- ket, and, o far as we can learn, there is nothing to arrive near due. Spot prices are nominal and unchanged. el CHARLES M. SHORTRIDGE’S CONDITION IMPROVED. Slight Change for the Better Warrants the Hope That He May Yet Recover. SAN JOSE, Jan. 17.—The condition of Charles M. Shortridge to-day was consid- ered critical, .and at one time during the afternoon it was the opinion of the at- tending physicians that he had but a few hours to live. During the evening his condition changed for the better, and a telephone message received from_Gilroy Hot Springs at midnight stated that his improvement was such as to warrant some hope of his recovery. Mrs. Clara S. Foltz, a sister of Mr. Shortridge, arrived in San Jose from New York this evening, and, accompanied by her son, David M. Foltz, has left for Gil- roy. BALLINGTON BOOTH IS GREATLY REJOICED. Reconciliation With-His Father May Result in the American Volunteers and Salvation- ists Working in Harmony. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—The World says: Commander Ballington Booth of the American Volunteers said yesterday that he was greatly rejoiced over his recon- clliation with his father. He thought, he gald, that important resuits would fol- “‘I belleve that hereafter,” h “the American Volunteers and the gfl?:’g: tion Army. will pursue their work in their respective flelds like churches of different denominations, in perfect haromny, and possibly with co-operation. There will, we hope, hereafter be perfect good feel- ing. This is what the Volunteers have been hoping and working for, and we are happy at the prospect of peace.”” HENDERSON, THE BOY MURDERER, COMMITTED. His Father Believes Him Guilty, but Pleads That His Mind Has Been Deranged by Typhoid Fever. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. Henderson, the I5-year-old boy who is charged with the murder of 5-year-old Percy Lockyar, was committed to prison to-day by Magistrate Johnson to await the action of the Coroner. There seems little doubt now that Henderson brutally hacked the boy to pleces, and, before life was extinct, threw him in Reddies Creek and weighted the child down with heavy stones. To-day’s hearing was not with- out its sad scenes. Tue boy, apparently unconscious of the extent of his crime, stared stolidly at the magistrate, while his father knelt by his side and wept over and caressed his boy. Mr. Henderson be= lieves his boy guilty, but asserts that he is not in his right mind. Samuel had an attack of typhoid fever some years ago and his father maintains that he has acted strangely ever since. CAPTAIN MERRY WELCOMED AT COSTA RICA’S CAPITAL. The New Minister From the United States Officially Received by President Ig- lesias at San Jose. PANAMA, Jan. 17.—The Herald’s corre- spondent in San Jose, Costa Rica, in- forms me that President Iglesias has of- ficially received United States Minister Merry. Marked evidences of respect and esteem were extended to Captain Merry, and the new Minister expressed gratifica- tion over the manner in which he had been received by the Government and the people of Costa Rica. e —— Baldwin to Go in the Spring.
