A Bitter Fight Expected—How Perry Sears Fared at the Hands of His Sister. Special Dispatch to The Call SONOMA, April 3.—For the second time prayers were said over the body of John S. Enos, and once again friends assembled around his coffin, but still the man is not yet buried. He lies in the city vault of Sonoma, while the widow and the other woman fight over his bones, and not until the courts have finally decided who shall have the corpse will he be allowed the rest of the grave. There were perhaps twenty-fivg or thirty people to follow the hearse, most of them friends of Mrs. Enos; on the former occasicn there were as many at the house of Mrs. Snyder, most of them friends of Mrs. Snyder, but this time as funeral ceremonies, and so Mrs. Enos is one point ahead. The funeral services were set for | half-past 12 to-day, and at that time there were more people waiting around outside than entered the house of the undertaker where the body lay. was a suspicion that Mrs. Snyder would attend the funeral, and it was known to many that if she appeared she would not ve allowed in the house. | She was not there, however, and the | services passed off without any un- pleasant incident. Rev. Charles E. Chase of the local Congregational church said a few short prayers at the | house, and then there were a few more at the vault; the niche for the coffin was closed, and the widow and her | daughter took the afternoon train for | San Francisco. That was all, but it | was only after invoking the aid of the law that the widow secured even that consolation. The first funeral services were held at Mrs. Snyder’s house last Friday, but an injunction from the Santa Rosa court_stopped any attempt at burial; Mrs. Enos had thereby secured posses- sion of the body for one day, and in that day she laid away the remains of her husband herself. courts there will very likely be another | funeral, but when that fight will ter- | minate is a question no one can an- | swer. Neither woman will surrender except under legal compulsion, and | courts will let them. In Mrs. Snyder the widow has an ene- | | my who has shown a vindictiveness which at one time aroused the country round and caused the somewhat unus- ual spectacle of a town turning out | with a brass band to welcome home a | man who had been acquitted of the | charge of murder. | The man was Perry Sears, a brother | of Mrs. Snyder, and it was not her fault | he was not, hanged. He had killed a man named Reibli who had leased from Mrs. Snyder a ranch upon which Perry Sears had lived and from which she evicted him. The ranch was owned by Sears and his sister, and just before the | | depression in the wine market six or | seven years ago he filled his cellars with wine and held it for a raise against the advice of his sister; he would not sell, and finally she fore- closed a mortgage she held on the place and then rented it to Reibli. Reibli | came to take possession and Sears | drove him from the ranch. He came | back, and meeting Sears made at him | with a pitchfork, whereupon Sears shot | him dead. | Sears was tried for murder and was | acquitted on the ground of self-defense, | but all through the trial Mrs. Snyder was the prosecutor and it was a lawyer .hlred by herself who conducted the case and fought to have the prisoner hanged. On his acquittal Sears went back to his old home in Sonoma, and the whole town turned out to meet him. There was blowing of horns and shooting of anvils and the brass band of the town met the guest at the station and es- corted him to his house, where there was more celebrating. In the mean- | while Mrs. Snyder was burned in effigy. | There will be the same bitterness in | the battle for the body of Enos, unless vears have worked a change in the wo- man for whom he left his home. If Mrs. Snyder would bury the man with his own people the widow would be | willing to let it be done by her, but | Mrs. Snyder will put the body with her own dead if the court gives it to her, and because of that the fight will be a bitter one. LORD HILLINGDON DIES SUDDENLY IN CHURCH. Was Chairman of the Committee of London Clearing House Bankers. LONDON, April 3.—Lord Hillingdon (Charles Penry Mills) chairman of the Committee of London Clearing House Bankers, died suddenly in church at Wil- ton to-day. He was born in 1830, was the son of the late Bir Charles Mills, Bart.. and was elevated to the peerage in 185G. He was a partner in the well-kaown banking house of Glynn, Mills & Co. Sl it Dr. Scott Elected Moderator. VISALIA, April 3.—The fifty-fifth an- nual session of the Tulare Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church has adjourned after a.most successful con- vention of five days. A large number of preachers and prominent members of the church from Kern, Tulare, Kin; and Fresno Counties were present and much important business was transacted. Rev. G. W. Scott of the Antelope Church, Tu- lare County, was elected moderator for the ensuing year. The next sessioa of the presbytery will be held at Fresno. — The Miowera at Victoria. VICTORIA, April 3.—The steamship Mi- owera arrived this afternoon from Hono- lulu and Australiasia, bringing 130 pas< sengers bound for Klondike.

Peculiarities Connected With the.- Arrival of the Schooner Inca. Hulk of the Bark Almy Shifting About—New Ferry Building Opened—Stray Notes. It 1s not to be wondered at that those who have invested their money in the Alaskan transportation business are somewhat alarmed over the outlook. The rush for the gold fields seems to have in a great measure abated, as was witnessed in the sailing of the steamer Valencia yesterday for Seattle and Copper River points. On her last trip the steamer took over flve hundred passengers. Yesterday forty first-class and seventy-three steer- age passengers embarked for Copper Kiv- er, Portage Bay, Resurrection City and other points. Eight took passage for BSeattle. On board also were eighty-one fishermen, who will go to the Orea can- neries, and sixty Chinese, bound for the same place. Six hundred tons of freight ‘were taken on board, as well as a number of mules and a cow. At Seattle the | steamer will be boarded by a Government expedition bound for Copper River to prospect for a suitable route into the Yu- kon district. The steamer is sent out by | the Pacific Steam Whaling Company. She sailed from the new Folsom-street wharf at 4:15 p. m., a large crowd witnessing the | departure. For the first time the schooner Inca en- tered this bay yesterday afternoon. She is the only five-masted and five-topmast- ed schooner that has ever been in port. The Lewis is the only other five-masted schooner on the coast, and has fewer topmasts than the Inca. The cargo of the Inca consisted of 31,763 bags of sugar, no small item in itself, the first cargo of su- f‘flr that has gone to the new refinery at “Port Costa. Shortly afterward the bark- | entine Planter, also from Honolulu with a cargo of sugar, followed the Inca to Port Costa. The new lightship, No. 70, was towed over from the outfitti point_at Goat | Island yesterday by the Madicro_and | moored at Union-street wharf. Next | | Thursday the lightship will be taken to | the spot where the whistling buoy is now located and anchored. All her future pro- visions will be received through the me- dium of the lighthouse tender diadrono. According to orders the monitor Monad- nock steamed to Mare Island yesterday morning to go on the drydock and be sup | plied with ammunition. It is asserted | | that the monitor will go to Norfolk as soon as she is ready for the trip. The British bark Dominion, with a car- go of coal, consigned to J. J. Moore & Co., reached here last evening, 101 da?‘s from Newcastle, N. S. W. Considerable anxi- | ety had been felt by those interested over | | the fate of the vessel, and her safe arri- | val will relieve the tension. The Drum- | | muir arrived about the same time. She| | s also from Newcastle with a cargo of | coal. | The steamer George Loomis, from Ven- | | tura, reached here yesterday and reports ‘ that at 7 a. m. the remains of the bark Helen W. Almy were passed about a mile | | southwest of Point Pedro. The hulk was | | reported to be standing upright and bear- | ing the appearance of a sloop. This is | | good evidence that the hulk of the wreck- ed vessel is constantly shifting about and must be removed or destroyed soon or it | v;'ill become a serious menace to naviga- | tion. { The schooner Hattie 1. Phillips, brought | from New York to enter the Klondike | trade and chartered to carry lumber for | b { { | | | | | a short period, made the trip here from | | Astoria in four days, arriving with a car- | g0 of lumber yesterday. This is remark- | | ably fast time for a schooner, and espe- | | cially so in this case, where her captain | | is unfamiliar with the topography of the | seacoast. | Uncle Sam's monitor, the Monterey, | was crowded with a large number of cu- riosity seekers yesterday, all eager to | view one of the warships that are expect- ed to blow Spain’s navy out of the waters of the earth. A peculiar fact {s, that not a man on board wearing the uniform of a seaman is not eager for war—not so much on account of what has happened, as one of them expressed it, but “‘becau them treacherous cusses always did d serve a good lickin’, and we are the ones as can do it, too.” The tug Vigilant was placed on the Merchants’ drydock yesterday morning. Captain_Stlovich is_proud of his speedy boat and takes good care that nothing in her condition shall ever cause her to take a back seat for “any of 'em.” The schooner Thomas Negus salled for Cooks Inlet Saturday and came back yes- terday, after going a short distance up the coast. ome forgotten supplies caused the return. The new ferry building received its ini- tial usage by passengers yesterday. A large number of people who went on a gleusure excursion around the bay and to chuetzen Park, as well as passengers for ‘Tiburon, were permitted to pass through the grand nave of the structure. TURNERS’ EXHIBITION. Gymnastic and Musical Entertain- ment of the San Francisco Turners. The annual exhibition of the San Fran- cisco Turners yesterday afternoon and | evening at the Turk-street hall was a | success in every detail. In the afternoon the members of the boys’' class, gym- nasts who have not yet cast off the chrysalis of extreme youth, entertained their friends by miscellaneous gymnastic and acrobatic performances. The boys were divided Into twelve grades, and prizes were bestowed mpon the winners of each lot. The evening was quite another story. | A programme, musical and g{mnnstlc.i ‘won_the unremitting applause of the well | filled auditorium. There were fifteen | numbers aitogether, and the turners in | three branches of gymnasics displaved their corrugated muscles to the best ad- vantage. The Turners’ male chorus sang | several selections with strong Teutonic | choruses. A violin solo by A. Trost and a fiute solo by H. Mueller were well re- | ceived. The final numbers broufiht out | the phvsical skill of the Turners In box- ing, fencing, wrestling and broadsword | play. Those who speclally figured in this work of muscle were F. Hoffman, E. Fleischer, W. Hinz. T. Planz, H. Berg- mann, J. Hoops, H. Mueller and J. Ro- senstein. The entertainment concluded, the Tur- ners gave themselves up to the light fan- tastic toe, tripping it merrily to a iate hour. ———— In JAIL FOR CONTEMPT. The Klamathon Lumbermen Arrive in Charge of the United States Marshal. Deputy United States Marshal Moffitt, who went to Klamathon, Siskiyou County, on Saturday to execute an attachment is- sued out of the Circuit Court, returned yesterday morning, having in charge fif- teen of the mfi: for whom he went. They are: J. H. yman, Norman Campbell, Ed Campbell, J. Van Landingham, g F. Plunkett, Peter Lium, Albert Pankinin, Frank S. Martin, Willlam Hanning, Andy Davis, E. A. Farr, Nils Monson, Tom Mc- Inerney, H. I. Small and John Doe, alias Big Swede. They were locked up in the County Jail and will be brought before Judge Morrow this morning to be dealt with for disobey- ing an order of the court issued by Judge Morrow in the suit of the Pokegama Mill- ing and Lumber Company against the Klamath River Lumber and Improvement Company. Their bonds have been fixed at $1000. The men were enfued in hold- ing the mill property by force of arms.

Major Diss, Inspector First Er.gade, Has Ideas About the “Red Book.” Too Much Talking in the Ranks ata Battalion Drill—The Naval Militia Recruiting. The war fever is at its helght among the National Guard members in San Francisco, and should war be declared the First Regiment of Infantry, Colonel James F. Smith commanding, having al- ready offered its services, as announced in The Call of yesterday, will be ready to move to the front at short notice. The First, with pardonable pride, wants to be the first to represent the State of California in the field, and if orders should come to have it move influence will be brought to bear to have it sent to some point where it will be able to demonstrate that it can make a record for itself and show that the men who are enlisted within its ranks are a little more than “tin soldiers.” Reports from other parts of the State show that there is as much enthusiasm in every organization as there is in the First Infantry, and that there will be no shirking should there be a call for men. While the division commander is re- maining silent as to the guard of the State and what is being done in the mat- ter of preparation, he is quietly, to use his own language, “gatherjng the various strings in order to discover the status of the guard.” It is the opinion of those interested, that as soon as he has picked up all the strings theI major-general will, war or no war, place the guard on a footing that will not be excelled by the guard of any State in the Union. The appointment of Major William A. Halstead, commissary on the staff of the brigadier-general of the Second Brigade, as ordnance officer on the staff of the division commander, with rank of lieu- tenant-colonel, vice Willlam Edwards, resigned and returned to the retired list, | has not yet been officially announced, but | the major has accepted, and it will not| be long before he will have the right to| wear two silver oak leaves on his shoul- | der straps. Attorney J. J. Dwyer, who has been of- fered the position of judge advocate on the staff of the division commander, with | the rank of lieutenant-colonel, still has | the offer under consideration. His hesl-' tancy in the matter is uncertainty to be able to devote the time from his business | attend to the duties of the office as| he He stated that should | he accept the offer at this time he would feel it his duty to accompany the division | commander on his tour of inspection through the southern part of the State during the month of May, but that busi- ness engagements will prevent him from so doing. He was informed that the offer will remain good until after the re-| turn of the division commander. PRINTED ORDERS AGAIN. It is understood that the next orders from general headquarters will be print- ed ang will supersede the unsightly and unmilitary mimeographed ocuments | that have been sent out for some time. That #8 one step in advancement, and now there is some hope that an effort | will be made to bring about a revision of | the “Red Book,” the vade mecum of | every National Guardsman. This book, | however, is not considered of any value, | because a reading of it produces ‘‘confu- sion worse confounded.” Major J. W. F. Diss, Inspector of the First Brigade, in one of his reports has the following on this subject: Another source of perturbation to officers and men is the volume of rules and regula- tions of the National Guard of California, know as the “Red Book.”” Of all combinations of misinformation they have to contend with this is unquestionably the worst. It is a com- | plete compendium of military inaccuracy, sup- | Dlemented by a mass of obsolete and useless recautions, rules and regulations formulated By Successive adjutants general and added to what there was before they came into office. On every seven out of ten pages there are rules prescribed for guidance which are dia- metrically opposed to the regulations of the army—which should be the rule of conduct as far as practicable. Sections of the Political Code relative to the National Guard, which have been amended over and over again, are side by side with instructions for_ inspections based on General Upton’s tactics. Descriptions of uniforms long since superseded, find place side by side with rules which cannot be ap- plied, in view of orders which have subse- quenily been issued. Men who are anxious to learn what the laws are touching the National Guard _and what rules and regulations are prescribed are continually led astray by the perusal of this volume. All this militates against discipline and good order, would recommend now that we have to the staff of the commander-in-ch officer of the regular army, that he e the president of a board to completely revise the rules and regulations governing the serv- ice in California, to the end that officers and men alike may be intelligently educated. The State owes it to them that they be properly instructed and informed in a legitimate and business-like manner. The views of Major Diss have been con- firmed by every officer in the guard who | feels the slightest interest in its upbuild- | of Revision was ap- | inted by the Commander-in-Chief, go as the “officer of the regular army,” | who is Captain F. de L. Carrington of the First Infantry, U. S. A., been called upon | to act in the capacity suggested. It has| been recently suggested by officers and men who would like to have a good guide book that as the Division Commander is a lawyer, well versed in political and mil- itary law, and Captain Carrington is well | versed in rules and regulations govern- | ing the United States army, they might with a little assistance from some of the bright military men, such as Lieutenant- Colonel Giesting, Assistant Adjutant- General on Brigadier-General Warfield's staff, put the laws, rules and regulations in a comprehensive shape and that the United States army inspector of the , an some time to a revision of the work. If | that were done there would not be any ! occasion for remarks such as were made | in loud tones at the recent inspection of ADVERTISEMENTS.

Company B'S movement was well executed and shows that the com- mander has good ideas in the matter of selecting an advantageous position. The four companjes were then taken to a la_\}a vacant lot west of Steiner street, and in their march went over and under fences and finally reached a spot where the ground was very uneven and in many places obstructed by loads of cobbles and asphalt dumped upon it. Upon this ground there was a line of skirmishers, supports and reserves, and there was advance and retreat with firing at various distances and in the three positions. The majorit; of the movements were well executed, but there was one, probably arising from a misunderstanding of orders, that in actual service would have been disas- trous to Company D. On the order to the rear that company was in the advance, | and when called to halt was ordered to | fire standing and at the time the reserve was ordered to halt and fire. Some one | saw the error and gave the order “Cease | firing,” and in a few seconds the correct | orders were given. The men turned out | In good numbers and did well except in | one respect, from the standpoint of a soldier. That was that in the execution | of the several movements there was too much talking. Instead of acting on orders from the superior officers, many men in the ranks would endeavor to in-| struct their side comrades in loud tones | how they ungderstood the movements and how they should be executed. The result | was that instead of there being one com- mand there were dozens in each company. THE TARGET PRACTICE. It is stated that the long-expected | meeting of regimental inspectors of rifle practice will be held within a_few days under the direction of Colonel Park Hen- shaw, inspector-general of rifle practice. ‘ At that meeting there will be an effort made to unravel the tangle into which the guard has got in the matter of tar- get practice, and that rules will be pro- mulgated so as to enable the men to | shoot at stated periods that the law says they shall shoot. | Lieutenant Heller, inspector Fifth Regiment Infantry, being absent from the State on a sixty-day leave, Cap tain D.
