LIFE or PREMATURE PLAN TO LYNCH MOORE EVADA CITY, April 7.—Excite- ment ran high here this morning when a report reached Sheriff Getchell from Chief of Police Gall of Stockton that 2 man an- swering Outlaw Moore's description was under surveillance there. The fact that Farmer Nettleship and others in the vicinity of Auburn had repeated- ly and persistently said they had seen a man answering the fugitive’s descrip- tion journeying southward on Tuesday morning lent color to the suspicions of Chief of Police Gall, and Sheriff Get- chell left on the noon train for the mill city. Before Getchell had crossed the boundary of the county a dispatch flashed across the wire from Stockton which exploded the story and soon the excitement subsided. The report of the arrest of the sus- pect in Stockton quickly spread about town and before noon groups of men had gathered on the street corners and seriously discussed plans to lynch the murderer in the event of his being brought to town. Despite the fact that there is a grow- ing belief that Moore has succeeded in getting well out of the county, Joe Kil- roy still holds to the theory that his brother's slayer is secreted in the mountains close to Nevada City. In support of his belief Kilroy gives many plausible theories. ‘“Moore is a natural woodsman and he will stay in the woods as long as possible. Once he leaves the moun- tains and strikes into the lower coun- try the fugitive will be compelled to | ask for food at a tavern or farm house. He is very deaf and will have to use his ear trumpet to hear anybody who speaks to him. His deafnes alone would betray him. Moore is a shrewd, cunning feliow, and he is_well aware | that he has not got the chance of an ordinary person once away from the mountains. He knows the country up O +O+0+0+0+0+0e0+Q D S e R S iCan atcl Sheriff Getchel of Nevada County. % B *O 040 +0+06+0+0+Q here like a book. In fact, Moore knows more about the topography of this county than any other man in it. I refuse to believe Moore is more than a mile or two away from his cabin. He has lived here all his life and he knows how many times our authorities have been unsuccessful in capturing crimi- nals of his sort. There had been sev- eral hold-ups and murders in this coun- ty and the desperadoes invariably es- ped. Now, I don't say this to cast any reflection on the peace officers of this county. The many refuges af- forded by the thick woods and neigh- boring mountains are of assistance to criminals. The Sheriff and his posse have done all in their power to cap. B e e SR I SRS S S Ca S ct ture Moore, and they deserve great credit, notwithstanding the fact that the murderer is still at large.” Captain Nihell and City Marshal Tomkins returned to-night from a three days' search in the southern and north- ern end of the county. They were dis- couraged by their lack of success, but feel certain Moore has not passed through any of the territory which they searched. Under Sheriff Getchell, pursuant to orders, has notified every peace officer in the State of Nevada to keep his eyes open for a man answering Moore's de- scription. SR STOCKTON’S SUSPECT. Stranger Who Resembles the Mur- derer of Kilroy. STOCKTON, April 7.—Sheriff Get- chell arrived on the evening train from Nevada City. His presence {s the re- sult of a conference he had to-day over the telephone with Chief of Police Gall. The chief did not suggest that Getchell was needed, but on the {nformation he received Getchell felt justified in aban- doning his search in the vicinity of Nevada City and coming to Stockton. For the last two days the officers have had under constant espionage a man who bears a striking resemblance to Moore, even to his deafness and | characteristic manner . of conducting himself. They became so interested in the man that this afternoon Chief Gall concluded to ask Getchell for further particulars. The suspect appeared in this vicinity last Sunday, remaining in the city a | day or so, when he came under the ob- servation of the officers. He is now located a short distance from the city, but any move on his part that would look like flight would result in his prompt arrest. Sheriff Getchell to- night is engaged in investigating the suspect’s actions, and before the sun is high to-morrow he will have had a look at the man.

She then slid down a rain spout. Search was made for her last night by the officers, but no. trace of her could be found. It was learned this morning that she had obtained a horse and buggy from a local liveryman, | and to-day she gave the officers quite a chase. She drove the foaming horse through the streets at breakneck speed, whipping the animal with maniacal vigor. She was caught about four miles from town by a man on horseback and taken back to the -asylum. Miss Lockjoy is 17 years of age. She hails from the vicinity of Madera, where her parents own a farm. - BUYS NIULII PLANTATION. HONOLULU, March 31.—Henry Water- house has purchased Niulil plantation The deal, which has been pending for some weeks, was closed late yesterday af- ternoon. Niulli s a plantation in full blast. The crop of cane is now being ground, and sugar is shipped out every day. There is an immediate profit to the investor, which place different basis to anything in the islands save the stock of the older plantations, which is now very high. The plantation will be incorporated next week “at $2,000,000, divided into 100,000 shares of $20 each. ~All will be paid. There will be no assessable stock. Waterhouse & Co. take $1,000.000 themselves, another party takes $200,000, and other big trans- fers will leave a small margin to be of- fered to investors Niulif_is the plantation of Judge C. F. Hart. The land Is rich and water facili- ties are of the best. The latter has been examined by experts and that is their re- port to Senator Waterhouse concerning it. TO CONSOLIDATE PL;&NTATIONS. HONOLULU, March 31.—It is currently reported among the plantation men in town this afternoon that a scheme to con- solidgte Pala, Halku, Spreckelsville and Waifuku plantations, on the lIsland -of Maul, is now well under way, and that it was to consult H. P. Baldwin in regard to it that J. P. Cooke chartered the Noeau and made his flying trip to Lahaina: Jo- seph P. Cooke was seen about the street rumor. “I went to see Mr. Baldwin on personal matters,” he repiied to a question. “Whether or not it was about the con- solidation of Paia, Haiku, Spreckelsville and Wailuku, of which you speak, I am not prepared to say this afternoon.” Mr. Cooke positively declined to either deny or confirm the rumor. CONTROLLER COLGAN WINS. SACRAMENTO, April 7.—Judge Hughes, in the Superior Court, to-day, decided on demurrer the case of State Controller Colgan vs. The Trustees of the Napa Hos- pital for the Insane. The Legislature of 1889 appropriated $4556947 to pay for the maintenance of the asylum during the thirty-ninth and fortieth fiscal years. There remained of this appropriation a balance of $7450 65, which the trustees claim belongs to the asylum fund. Col- gan maintained that it should be re- turned to the State treasury and sued for an order to that effect. The trustees de- murred principally on the ground that the statute_of limitations barred the action. Judge Hughes decided that thils statute another. — MESSAGES SENT IN A GALE. NEW YORK, April 7.—A special cable to the Sun from London says: The wild gale that is prevailing in the English Channel has not affected the transmission of messages by Signor Marconi’s wireless telegraph system. The wind roared deaf- eningly around ‘South Foreland light- house, the English experimental station, and rainstorms were constant. Similar conditions prevailed at Bou- tion is situated, but messages passed as readily and as distinctly as though the s STRICKEN BY PARALYSIS. HONOLULU, March 3L.—Captain Alex- ander G. Fhillips, master of the British bark Invermark, died on the 28th of par- alysis, by which he was stricken on board his vessel five days previous. He never wholly regained consclousness. Captain Phillips leaves a widow and four children in Aberdeen, Scotland. He was 44 years of age, and had been master of a vessel for over fifteen years. Desirello Pleads Not Guilty. REDWOOD CITY, April 7.—Commenc- ing on Tuesday, May 2, the time and at- tention of the Superior Court and a jury will be taken up with the trial of crim- inal cases.

April T.—| Charles Webber, a German, of Nanai- mo, B. C., arrived here this morning | | after having passed through an experi- | ence such as falls to the lot of few men. | For twenty hours he was washed by | waves of the gulf while clinging for | life on top of his capsized craft, and he | saw his young eompanion drown before his eyes. ‘Webber started from Nanaimo last Monday in a small yacht with Willlam Reid. At 6 o'clock in the evening Reid, | who was at the helm, ran the craft | upon a reef at Yellow Point, Vancouver Island, far from a human habitation. The bottom of the yacht heaved up and soon the two men were up to their arm- The vessel commenced | pounding and Reid, against the advice of Webber, lashed himself to the mast. For six hours the men were washed by the waves, the boat keeping an up- right position. Then the little vessel turned keel uppermost, and while Web- ber was thrown to one side his mate plunged into the sea on the other. When Webber got a position on the bottom of his craft he saw Reid strug- gling in the water two arms-lengths away. He could not reach him and he saw the lad sink before his eyes, crying land. A terrible experience followed for ‘Webber. It was midnight when he saw poor Reid drown, and shortly after- ward he saw a steamer’s lights some | distance away. He yelled himself hoarse, but got no reply. The breakers | then rolled over his craft and twice he was washed from his position. He | fought desperately for life, and, al- though half dead from cold and ex- haustion, held on to the boat. | At 8 o'clock Tuesday morning he saw | another steamer pass and frantically signaled her, only to be again disap- pointed. It was noon on Tuesday when | he saw the first human being. He had | given up all hope, and, he says, was about to let himself drop into the sea, when a boat full of Japanese hove in sight. Ten minutes elapsed before they saw his signals. Just as they reached him he lost strength and fell into the sea. He was rescued with difficulty and was taken to Nanaimo, from which city he came to this port to-day. Reid was only 17 years old and was a sailor on a deep sea vessel. His body has not been recovered. Webber is a man of powerful phy- sique and owes his miraculous escape to his wonderful vitality. He says he feels ten years older after his terrn:-leI experience. He was for nearly thirty hours without food and for twenty hours was washed by an angry sea. THREE RAILWAY MEN SUMMONED BY DEATH ‘WOODLAND, April 7.—-One of the queerest superstitions among railroad men {s that one fatality among the em- ployes is almost immediately followed by two others before the “*hoodoo” is broken. Henry Florian Black was a brakeman an John Alfred Huber a telegraph apera?ol"i.‘ and both were residents of Yolo County. | They were lifelong acquaintances and | both were employed on this division. | Young Huber was taken ill on Sunday and | lived only four days. Black was confined | to his bed but five days. Both died in Sacramento on the same day and at the same hour, and on Thursday their bodies were side by side in the same undertak- ing parlor. These coincidences set the railroad men to discussing the old superstition, and there were many gloomy conjectures as to where on the division death would make | a third visitation. They were not kept long in suspense. This morning R. L. Dunlap, a brakeman on the edding freight train, met a violent death. While engaged in uncoupling cars at Conant’s switch, near Red Bluff, he stumbled and fell, and before he could recover the wheels of a car were upon him. He was killed instantly. ———— Scurvy Epidemic Abating. SEATTLE, April 7.—The steamer Ex- celsior arrived to-night from Copper River, Alaska, with fifty passengers. | They report that the scurvy epidemic was abating. There were nineteen cases in the hospital at C'Jgper Center and ten in various cabins in that vicinity. There had been no deaths or new cases reported re- cently.

THIRTEEN PERSONS PERISHED IN THE NEW YORK FIRE Twelve of the V ~ drews Dwelli the Adams Abode. NEW YORK, April 7.—The fire which early this morning destroyed the hand- some residence of Wallace C. Andrews at 2 East Sixty-seventh street also burned to death twelve'persons sleeping in the house. Firebrands carried by the wind were blown into an open window in the home of Albert J. Adams, 3 East Sixty-ninth street, two blocks distant, setting fire to the house and causing the death of a servant. All of the thirteen bodies have been recovered. The dead are: WALLACE C. ANDREWS, president of the New York Steam Heating Com- pany. MRS. WALLACE C. ANDREWS, wife of the above. MRS. GEORGIANA BOYDEN ST. JOHN, wife of Mrs. Andrews’ brother, Gamaliel C. St. John, an officer of the New York Steam Heating Company. ORSON ST. TOHN, aged 7 years. WALLACE ST. JOHN, aged 3 years. FREDERICK ST. JOHN, aged 13 months. NELLIE BOLAND, servant. MARY FLANAGAN, servant. EVA PETERSON, servant. KATE DOWNING, servant. MARIE ROTH, servant. ANNIE CARY, servant. In the Adams fire: MRS. MARY LAUGHLIN, aged 50 years, housekeeper, died from suffoca- tion and burns. Alice White, cook, and Jennie Burns, laundress, the only inmates of the An- drews house who escaped, are the hospital in a serious condition. Thé list of injured at the Adams fire is: Mrs. Isabella Adams, wife of Albert J. Adams, injured in the back, burned, suf- fering from shock; Nellie Quinn, ser- vant, jumped from fourth floor to an ex- tension, severe brulses; Evelyn Adams, in burns, shock; Minnie Bogue, servant, sprained ankle and _ brulses; . Jerry Blazin, fireman Engine Company 44, con- tusion’ of the back; Mary . Malloy, leg fractured, shock; = William Stevenson, bruises and contusions. Whether the fire started from an ex- losion of a lamp or of gas has not vet Peen' determined, but when it was first discovered at 2 o'clock this morning the flames seemed to burst from all parts of the house at once. Policeman McKnight was at Fifth ave- nue and Sixty-sixth street when he heard an explosion and saw the glare of flames in Sixty-seventh street. He ran with all haste to the spot and found tongues of flames leaping from, the upper windows of the Andrews house and half-way across the street. He tried to break the door and arouse the tenants, but was | driven back by the flames. Not waiting any longer than to arouse the family of the Rothschilds in the adjoining house, No. 4, he sent in an alarm, When the firemen arrived they went through the Rothschild house and man- aged to get in the rear rooms of the third floor of the Andrews home, where they | found Mrs. St. John and her three-yedr- old son Wallace unconscious on the floor, their night-clothes almost burned off. They were quickly taken into the Roths- child house. Mrs. St. John died within Her child died in the fireman’s arms. The firemen made repeated efforts to in | ictims in the An= ng and One in get into the other rooms, but they might as well have attacked a furnace. The building if saturated with oil could hardly have burned more fiercely. Like most large New York dwellings, it was high narrow and encased on two sides by solid brick walls and the effect was like a great chimney. The flames roared and crackled and shot into the air a distz\ncei of a hundred feet or more, throwing a great fiery spray over the roofs of the surrounding houses. All efforts to arouse the inmates in time to save themselves were fruitless, and aslde from Mr. St. John the only other persons who got out of the house alive were the two servants, Jennie Burns and Alice White, who appeared at the upper windows terror-stricken and, heedless of the cries of the firemen that they would | raise ladders and save them, Jumped.Sh e meat became distasteful after a few days. Captain P. B. Powell, Ninth Cavalry—Almost wholly devoid of the flavor of beef. Captain Hutchinson, Ninth Cavalry—It should be alternated with other meat. Had heard of no bad results from its use. Lieutenant 1. M. Manee had found it taste- less and the men would not eat it. Captain Albert Cummins of the Second Ar- tillery thought some of the meat contained ptomaines and caused a great deal of sickness. As a ration it was a failure. PLAN TO PREVENT THE EXTERMINATION OF GAME SAN RAFAEL, April 7.—If the Board of Supervisors should see fit to adopt an ordinance presented for their approval to- day by Attorney Thomas P. Boyd, and it is ten to one the board will do that very thing, one of the merriest rackets kicked up in rod and gun circles in many moons will result. In order to prevent the ex- termination of game in Marin County the Supervisors, acting in accordance with the petition of local gun clubs and a large number of prominent citizens of the county, intend to adopt an ordinance making it a misdemeanor to kill game and carry it outside the confines of the county. Marin County is the paradise of nim- rods and huntsmen and fishermen in San Francisco and Alameda County. For this reason the county is overrun on Sundays and holldays with sportsmen. who play sad havoc with the game. The ranchers have finally joined the San Rafael Gun Club, the Novato Gun Club, the Tamal- pais Club and other organizations in a petition to the Supervisors to adopt an ordinance giving them relief. Attorney Boyd was retained to formulate an or- dinance and to-day showed a plece of his handiwork for the inspection of the board that drew forth unbounded admiration. By the terms of the proposed ordinance it is made a misdemeanor to kill deer, Jennie Burns leaped out first. turned over and over and fell almost di- rectly upon her head. Her skull was frac- tured in several places. The other woman when she saw the fate of her friend, hes- | itated for a moment, then, as the smoke | thickened, she too jumped. She fell upon | a rear extension of the building and was | icked up unconscious and severely in- | | Jured. | While the fire in the Andrews House | was raging great clouds of sparks we carried with the wind and a brand flew | into an open upper window of the home | of Albert J. Adams, It caught in a cur- | tain and instantly the room was ablaze. A servant at the window is thought to have been Mary Laughlin, for her dead body was found later. Tightly clasped in_her arms was the family pet dog. | When the Adams house caught fire a number of the policemen and firemen | ained an entrance and got the Adams | amily out without serious injury. The rvants were frantic in their efforts to | escape, and Mary Malloy and Minnie | Bogue jumped from the rear of the fourth | floor to the extension, from which they were taken down. Nellie Quinn was cut off at the fourth floor, and, appearing at a front window, | put her hand over her eves and jumped, | as she thought to the ground, but instead landed on the roof of the bow window, | one story below, and lay there stunned. | Policemen Louis C. Wagner, McInerney | and Hillman saw the woman’s peril, and, running into the house at No. §, went to the fourth floor. Wagner was held by the | heels, and made a thrilling rescue. The firemen managed to confine the fire in | | this house to the third and fourth floors. | About 6 o'clock the firemen had suf- | ficient mastery over the fire to permit of | a search of the Andrews house. They | | found the bodies of two of the remaining | St. John children and the bodies of what | are thought to be the two servants, Marie Roth and Kate Downing. At 11:15 o'clock the firemen found Mr. Andrews’ body. Tt | was)badly burned and parts of the legs | issing. The workers In the debris | foudd a body which was identified later | of Mrs. Andrews. | At various other times before 5 o'clock | the workers found the charred remains of | four more persons, probably the servants. Two of them were identified as the bodies of Eva Peterson and Marie Roth. | | Mr. St. John arrived in New York at 3| o'clock_this afternoon over the Pennsyl- | vania Railroad. He went at once to his | | home, perfectly ignorant of the reasons | which_ caused ~the sudden summons to New York, and when he saw the ruins of his house and was told of the horrible fate of his wife and three children he bore | up manfully, thoupgh it was apparent | that he had to summon all his strength of 1“1“ to do it. | by a dentist as th NAMES FOR THE NEW WARSHIPS Selections Made by the President. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, April 7.—The Presi- dent to-day named the twelve new war- ships recently provided by Congress as follows: Battleships—Pennsylvania, New Jer- sey and Georgia. Armored cruisers—West Nebraska, California. Cruisers—Denver, Des Moines, Chat- tanooga, Galveston, Tacoma, Cleveland. Petitions by the hundreds have been flowing into the White House and Navy Department ever since the new ships were provided for, urging the merits of various names. The President and Sec- retary Long enjoyed the good-natured rivalry, and in making the final deter- mination consideration was given not only to the urgency of the influence brought to bear, but also to the several sections of the country. Pennsylvania petitioned through Governor Stone, Senators Quay and Penrose and the en- tire delegation in the House of Repre- sentatives. Georgia did not petition the Navy De- partment, and it is believed that the choice of a Southern State was due to a desire of the President to compliment those with whom he visited on his re- cent Southern trip. Senator Elkins and the entire Con- gressional delegation were most active for West Virginia; Representative Mer- cer also made it his business to besiege the Navy Department with petitions for Nebraska. The choice of California also seems to be a personal compliment without the same effort shown in other States. The same rivalry was shown among the cities, Mayors, City Councils, Chambers of Commerce, etc., joiging in the pleas. The battleships Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Georgia are described in the act authorizing them as follows: “Three seagoing, coastline battle- ships, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of their class upon a trial displacement of about 13,500 tons, to be sheathed and coppered and to have the highest prac- ticable speed and great radius of ac- tion, and to cost, exclusive of armor and armament, not exceeding $3,600,000 each.” The armored cruisers are similarly described, except that they are to cost $4,000,000 each and are to have a dis- placement of 12,000 tons. The cruisers Denver, Cleveland and others are described as ‘“protected cruisers” of about 2500 tons displace- ment, to be sheathed and coppered and to have the highest speed compatible with good cruising qualities, great radius of action and to carry the most powerful ordnance suited to vessels of their class and to cost, exclusive of armament, not exceeding $1,141,800 each.

WASHINGTON; April 7.—The army Beef Inquiry Court decided to-day to ‘ad- mit as evidence the officlal reports of army officers concerning the beef sup- | plied to the army during the war with Spain, as requested by General The public forenoon session of the court was only of sufficient duration to permit the preferment of this request. Major Lee stated that he considered it fmpor tant that the matter should be definitely determined as soon as possible. He also asked for consideration of General Miles® supplementary request that a large num- ber of additional witnesses be sum- moned. It was learned that all the reports were brief and that the court in secret session decided to allow them to be read. There | are 47 of them and they were generally prepared by their authors after the close of the campaigns in Cuba and Porto Rico | and in response to a circular letter. With reference to the application to have more witnesses called, it is under- | stood that the court will adhere to its| determination not to summon any of the | list whose testimony would be merely cor- | roborative of that already given. At the afternoon session Major Lee read the reports, all of which pertained to canned beef. Brigadier General Vlele pronounced the can- ned beef “‘a miserable apology for food.' A large number of reports were made from officers of the First Cavalry, among these the following: \ Major Jjames M. Bell—It is better than no beef, but I cannot recommend it as a compo- | nent of the field ration. Lieutenant Clough Overton—It is an undesir- able portion of the travel ration, Major W. S. Scott—I heard no complaint of the canned roast_beef. ~ Lieutenant C. B. Williams—The beef as an occasional substitute for bacon was acceptable. Lieutenant Walter M. Whitman—The pro- longed issue of the beef on the transport was injurious to the men. Lieutenant ¥. M. Davis considered the beet as of poor quality and sald he had found mag- gots cooked with the beef in the cans. Lieutenant H. D. Berkeley—No more unpal- atable article of food could be issued. Lieutenant W. C. Rivers—It was an unsuit- able article of food. Lieutenant E. S. Wright—It was a distinct failure. Lieutenant Colonel Wy Rafferty of the Second Cavalry stated that hegreed with the report of his commissary officer, who pronounced the beef non-nutritive and sald the men soon tired of it. A large number of officeyy in this regi- ment pronounced a similar verc Major Jackson of the Third Cavalry pro- nounced the quality of the beef used in can- ning poor. It had served very well in hashes, but as a separate article of food it was nauseat- ing. Lieutenant Colonel Carroll of the Sixth Cav- alry sald that most of the meat lssued to his troops on the transport had been thrown over- board, as it made some of the men sick, Captain West of the Sixth Cavalry had pre- ferred going without meat to eating the canned beef. It made his men sick. Licutenant R. B. Paddock—Men would go hungry rather than eat it. Capfain G. 8. Grimes, Second Artillery—The meat was soft, watery and unsatisfactory to ‘the men. Captain Ellis of the Fourth Artillery—It was stringy and tough and I and others found it un- palatable. Captain Walter L. Finley of the Ninth Cav- alry—The beef was tough and devoid of flavor. Captain M. G. Hughes, Ninth Cavalry—The Kipling’s Good Luck. The first story that Kipling writes_ after his fliness will bring a fabulous price.
