The decorations consisted almost en- tirely of American Beauty ros which had been tastefully arranged on the mantles and tables. UNION PACIFIC TRAINS TO MAKE FAST TIME. Improved Passenger Service to Go Into Effect on the Sixth of February. OMAHA, Jan. 26—On February 6 there will be a complete reorganization and im- provement of the passenger train service of the reorganized Union Pacific Railroad. Two handsomely appointed trains to run between Chicago and Denver via the Northwestern and the Union Pacific Rail- roads will be placed in service, and the runningtime of all theexpress trainswiil be considerably shortened, recent experi- ments having proved that the Unlon ra- cific can run its heaviest trains at as high a rate of speed as is found on uny rail- in the United States. Two new trains between Chicago and Denver will | be scheduled between forty-five and ffty miles an hour, and this will necessitate their being run at the rate of fifty-five to sixty miles an hour. The Colorado special will reach Chicago at noon, reach Omaha at midnight and Denver the next morning. The San Fran- clsco through service will be shortened six _hours, the train leaving Chicago late nights to connect with the New York Central through. train, thus cutting the time from New York to San Francisco twelve hours. This means a rearrange ment of all Western schedules on the roads. A SAN RAFAEL MAN'S HOME IS FORTIFIED. Patrick Rice Fires a Shot at a Woman, and Afterward Secures His Freedom on $1700 Bonds. SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 2.—Patrick Rice, an old resident, has turned his home into | a fortification, and, like old General| home in Kentucky, there are arm; ced in the hallways ready for ap-| proaching trouble. Rice very recently g9t Into trouble by taking a shot at Mrs. Willlam Brown, the wife of a San Fran- cisco mechanic.” Brown swore out a war- rant before a local Justice for Rice's ar- Test for disturbing the peace, not desir- ing to arrest the man for a graver of- fense. Rice secured his liberty in $100 bonds, and is now at home ready with gun and pistol to stand off any one who approaches. It seems that Mrs. Brown got into_an ergument, and Rice got so excited that he fired at her. Officer O'Brien went to place Rice under arrest and found him locked in his room, threatening to Kkill the officer if he made an attempt to get| in and place him under arrest. Finally, however, Rice came out and secured bonds. 3 | ant had said he had been paid to watch PIGMIES OF THE UPPER AMAZON Discovery Made by a| Traveler From Boston. Strange Race Which Is| Evidently of Indian Descent. Ugly in Shape and Too Lazy | to Do More Than Hunt and Gorge. THE MEN ARE WARRIORS. | To the Number of Ten or Fifteen Thousand They Rove Rio Negro Country. the | Spectal Dispatch to The Call. BOSTON, Jan. 2.—A Boston man | just returned from South America has brought a marvelous tale of the discov- ery of a race of pigmies inhabiting the valley of the Amazon. He has not only seen them, but stayed in their villages, | entered their houses, sat about their camp fires, been with them on the hunt | d witnessed some of their religious | emonies. Eben J. Sulllvan, for months accom- panied only by natives, rowed up the mighty Amazon and the tributaries in a dugout cance. In this way he pene- | trated to the headwaters of the Rio Ne- | gro, where he came upon a nomadic race of pigmies. R. G. Haliburton of Boston, fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, one | of the best authorities in the world on pigmy races, thinks it of the greatest | value to anthropologists to have the tradition of pigmy races in South | America, recorded by Humboldt in the | first vears of this century, so strikingly | verified. In Mr. Haliburton’s opinion, | Sullivan’s observations clear the sub- | ject and leave no doubt as to the exist- ence of numerous pigmy tribes in Gu ana and Venezuela. Mr. Sullivan said to-day: | “I met while on the Rio Negro, one of the tributaries of the Upper Amazon, a race of remarkably small people, who | were more likely of an Indian than of a | negro origin, judging from their hair and the peculiar color of the skin, | which was a brilliant livid reddish yel- | low. | They are very ugly in shape; their | stomach, which distended in the back | well as front, is big and out of all proportion to their tiny, spindling ‘arms and legs. I think this is caused by their | anaconda-like practice of gorging. | After a hunt they will eat like animals, | and then lie about listlessly in the hot | tropical sun for days till hunger again impels them to get more game. “Curiously encugh, they appear to be metal-workers and tip their darts with bits of hardened fron or steel made from native or se darts are pro- jected from a vgun, like a boy’s toy, but with deadly effect. They can actually propel a light dart several hundred feet by the mere power of their lungs in blowing through a tube. They are a race of roving hunters and warrfors. They are a vain and boast- ful people. I think that they may num- ber ten to fifteen thousand souls. “These people are not over four feet eight inches in height and the women are 1 than this. Clothing is worn only by adults and consists of merely a cloth over the loins. Their hair is done up and stuck together by mud in a most grotesque and repulsive fashion. They have tribal marks that cover the upper body and head, made by slits in the skin. “Their huts are sometimes construct- ed of mud, in which case they are low and resemble a half egg with an open- ing at one end called massongos. The same name applies to their huts when | made from poles and woven grass. They have many fetish gods or idols which represent anlmals and are very ugly. As to the name of these pigmy people, they were, as I remember them, | Makalak, Malaka and Malakrat.” SANTA CRUZ CONSTABLE | ON TRIAL FOR MAYHEM. Arraignment of Joseph Harveston, Accused | of Bemng an Accomplice of George F. Plyler. SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 26.—The trial uf‘ Constable Joseph Harveston, charged | with mayhem, began in the Superior Court | to-day. Harveston is well known | throughout the county and has served | several terms as constable. He is ac- cused of having been an accomplice of George F. Plyler in maiming Charles Harris. The courtroom was crowded and a jury was secured this afternoon. District Attorney Lindsay told the story of the crime and Harris testified to see- ing three men in the room, but could only identify Plyler. He sald Harveston had handed him a note from Mrs. Plyler. Mrs. Plyler, who was next called, testi- fled that her husband was the only per- son she recognized; that she was too busy tryving to get out of the room to | bother about seeing who the other men were. She sald that Harveston had called twice at the room while Harrls was pres- | ent to see her about a telephone mes- | sage from San Jose. She was next cross- | examined and after her testimony she retired to an ante-room and shed bitter | tears of remorse and became hysterical. | William_Bishop testified to Plyler tele- phoning_for Harveston.

House, a Prominent Republican Politi- cian of Los Angeles, Shows Signs of Insantty. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26.—To-morow, R. F. House, one of the best-known Repub- ican politiclans in the State, an honored and respected citizen and one of the Los Angeles County pioneers, will be exam- ined as to his sanity, Mr. House has for some time past been in very poor health, and he has given nu- merous evidences of the fact that his mentality was affected in the general de- bility that had set in as to his system. Within the past few days his mental con- dition has become so aggravated that it has become pecessary to confine him in an asylum. For this reason, regular court proceedings will be instituted to-morrow. Mr. House is a wealthy man. His estate is valued at $100,000. He has been most Promtnent in Masonic circles and has a arge circle of friends throughout the State. The chances for his recovery are most remote. The cause of Mr. House's physical disability 1s overwork, . i CAPTAIN EDWARD OAKFORD. TULARE, Cal, Jan. 25.—Captain Bdward Oakford has just been ap- pointed postmaster of Tulare, and his selection pleases all patrons of tne office. Captain Oakford is a native of Illinois, removing at an early age to Minnesota, where he lived for many years. With his family he came to California in 1885, locating at Tulare, where he has since resided. For some yvears he was active in real estate and insurance lines, but of late has been secretary of the Tulare Irrigation District. Mr. Oakford was captain of Company F, Minnesota Independent Battalion Cavalry, earning distin- guished mention on the field. His appointment as postmaster is particu- larly fitting, and his administration of the office will be successful. | he refused to pay LITIGATION T0 BE DISMISSED Compromise of a Noted Los Angeles Will Contest. Agreement Finally Reached as to the Late Bridget Wil- son’s Estate. Administrator Will His Bondsmen and Relinquish All Claims. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26.—It seems that the litigation over the estate of the late Bridget Wilson is about to come to a close. The inevitable dis- pute over the validity of the will was fought all the way to the Supreme Court, but after that was settled a long litigation was threatened between the heirs of the estate and the special administrator, John P. Moran. When Bridget Wilson died leaving a large amount of valuable real estate in this city and cutting off her hus- band, John Wilson, with practically nothing, a will contest resulted. Judge Clark gave a decision for the contestant and revoked the probate of the will. In 1895 the court appointed Moran special administrator of the estate under.$38,000 bonds. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court and Judge Clark was reversed. The original administrators were rein- stated and a settlement wa. made by Moran, the special administrator. In this settlement it was found that he had $9316 54 belonging to the estate. In September, 1897, the adminis- trators of the estate made a demand on Moran for this amount, but with the exception of $635 34, which he paid before the settlement of the account, the shortage. An | action was thereupon brought against | him to recover the balance, $8680 80, which action is still pending. In February, 1897, however, John Wilson died, leaving his sister, Matilda ‘Walden, as his sole heir to battle for a | share in the estate. Through her ef- forts a compromise in the will contest was brought about, and it is to be peaceably settled and all litigation is about to be dismissed. Through his bondsmen Moran has offered to pay $3065 67 and to relinquish all claims on the estate due him as administrator. The compromise has been accepted. ‘ THE STATE ASSOCIATION'S FINE POULTRY DISPLAY. Largest and Best Ever Seen on the Coast. Winners of the Few Premiums Thus Far Awarded.

Remarkable Bill of Complaint of Landlord Against Tenant. Small Compensation for a Wrecked Cottage—The Plaintiff Uses His Fist. Special Dispatch to The Call | RAFAEL, Jan. 26.—Superior| Judge F. M. Angellotti’s - courtroom | looked like a second-hand junkshop to- day, for broken dishes, cracked stoves, wrecked crockery, smashed music- boxes and other unsightly objects lit- tered the desks and the courtroom as exhibits in one of the strangest cases which has come before his Honor for | | some time. And on the courthouse | steps at noon to-day one of the attor- neys in the case used his fist on the face of the defendant’s brother-in-law to add to the general excitement. | It all occurred over the lease of a | little cottage in Larkspur by George | G. Gormley of San Francisco. Gormley rented the place from W. H. Mahoney, ey, and moved into it with | SAN piece of Mahoney's property s not smashed beyond recall. | The story is told in the complaint, and a more bitter tale of woe could hardly be conceived. It seems that in January of last year | Mahoney and Gormley entered into an agreement whereby Gormley rented Mahoney's house in Larkspur for three months at the monthly rental of $20, and it was expressly agreed that Gormley did not lease the barn and was not entitled to the possession of it. | | This being the case, Mahoney caused the barn's doors to be bolted and the | windows nailed up securely, but Gorm- | ley broke down the barriers, smashed | the locks and opened the barn. Gorm- | ley used two bales of hay and a portion | of another bale, and when he left he | carried away with him the remaining | | portion of the third bale. He also used | and broke a saddle in the barn belong- | ing to Mahoney and, in fact, completely destroyed it. | Mahoney also laments the loss of a | | double harness which Gormley broke | and threw in a filthy condition into the | | attic. Even the lock had been torn from the door and lost. The defend- | ant also either broke, lost or destroyed | | some of the permanent fixtures in the | | house, besides smashing crockery and | glassware galore. The bowls in the| washstands were broken and useless, | the ovendoor of the kitchen stove was | | cracked and mutilated, and the glass |in the window of the bedroom was | smashed into ten thousand pieces. The lamps and chimneys were among the | missing or broken, the looking-glass | was a pitiful sight, while wine and beer glasses were total wrecks. The plates | were cracked and chipped almost be- | yond recognition, and so through a score of articles the plaintiff sets forth | how his property was abused. Both sides put in their arguments and testimony, the plaintiff to prove | that the defendant had done all the | damage, and the defendant attempted | | to show that the damage had been done before he took the house. Some of the | |rent remained unpaid and Mahoney wanted that and damages also. | Among the witnesses were W. H. | Mahoney, Mrs. T. Gormley, George T. | Gormley, Mrs. Frances Ryan and Ber- | nard Bassini. Late this afternoon Judge Angellotti | figured out the damage and allowed | Mahoney $14 and costs, and the event- | ful case was over, and the janitor re- moved the debris and junk to the fur- nace. It was at the noon hour to-day when Mahoney landed his faithful right on the nose of George Linderman, a broth- | er of Mrs. Gormley. The affair occurred | Just outside the court room on the steps of the courthouse. Mahoney was calling the defendant, Gormley, a long list of hard names, when Linderman stepped between the irate attorney and Gormley and said that he did not in- tend to listen to Mahoney talking to | his brother-in-law in such a manner. Linderman never said another word. Mahoney gave him a straight arm blow that sent the young man flying across the steps, and then the combat- ants were separated and went their way. No warrants were sworn out, and the Larkspur feud terminated with Jjust a tiny stream of blood on Linder- | man’s features. | hoppers. | crop.

Injury to Young Trees Is More Than Offset by Riddance of the Pests. Violent Windstorm Visits Petaluma. Southern California Weekly Crop Bulletin. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Jan. %.—Last night the| heaviest frost of the year, which has been a particularly cold one, was felt | in this vicinity, but the vineyardists | and fruit growers, instead of taking | into account the damage done to the | | trees and vines, are rejoicing, as the heavy frost is said to have rid the| county of the thrip or the vine hopper, which has been doing an incalculable injury to the vines. This morning the vineyardists, upon examining lhelri orchards, found innumerable happers | dead in the grass, having been killed | by the frost. A singular thing about the pest is that they seem to resurrect, but the vineyardists believe they are all thor- | oughly dead after last night's cold spell. When the supposed dead hop- | pers are placed in a sack and put near | a fire they become as lively as crickets | | in a short time, but the experiment was | tried this morning to see whether the | pests were dead. They showed no | signs of animation, and the vineyard- | ists believe the frost was a blessing in | disguise. | Young orange and lemon trees were | badly damaged by the severe frost, be- | ing stripped of ev vestige of ver- dure. The unpacked oranges were also damaged, but the loss was more than compensated by the destruction of the PETALUMA, Jan. 26.—This after- noon this city was visited by a fierce wind storm, although of brief dura- tion. Shutters and gates were torn off and buildings shook with the blasts. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26.—The week- ly crop bulletin for Southern Califor- nia, prepared by Observer Franklin for the week ending January 24, is as follows: The weather during the pas week continued cool, dry and ver windy toward the close. Light rains fell in some places on the 23d, being scarcely sufficient to lay the dust. The ground is becoming very dry, but plow- ing and seeding continues in the hope that later precipitation will mature a and in localities ice formed a skim on water in exposed places.

For the first time in the his- tory of Redlands there was a resort to smudging Monday night, which Is re- ported to have assisted greatly in the few orchards in which it was tried in raising the temperature.

Two Citizens ‘of Los Angeles Charged With Murder Are Dismissed, but Are Immediately Rearrested. LO8 ANGELES, Jan. 26.—George W. Cardwell and T. H.

They were Immediately rearrested, however, upon a complaint issued ‘- by Assistant District Attorney Williams, who made no effort to prosecute them before Justice Richardson, being satisfied of the out- come. They will examined to-morrow before Justice Young, in this city. Cardwell and Harris were neighbors of Hilton's, and the tragedy was the result of an attempt on their part to use a road running through Hilton's ranch that had been fenced in by him. Justice Richardson was arrested re- cently for an act similar to that which resulted in the murder of Hilton. st Aets DIPHTHERIA SCARE AT SAN BERNARDINO.

ANGELS CAMP, Jan. 26.—Last night about 9 o'clock a half-breed Indian named Elmer Reed was found on the streets in Chinatown in a dying condi- tion. his ghastly discovery known at once, and in a very short time there were fully 300 men on the scene. The Indian ived only a few moments after being found. Nobody knew how the dead man received his wound, nor who inflicted it. An examination of the premises by the Coroner and the jury sworn in to investigate the matter revealed the fact that the Indian received his fatal wound in a Chinese house on the south side of the street leading to the cala- | boose. The first trace of blood was dis- covered in front of the door, and from there a red line marked the sidewalk for a distance of over 100 feet, leading toward Main street, with here and there a pool of blood in the street.
