Herbert Stockton is the son of wealthy parents in San Jose. His father is the owner of a large winery in that city, and | the groom is something of a social light in the Garden City. He is a member of the Garden City Wheelmen and is con- nected with the firm of Edwards & Samp- | ktn. M Ida Malone is the daughter of Mrs. Fra Malone of 1537 Brush street in this city. She is a stenographer in the of- fice of Goldsby & Day, attorne; The young people wanted to marry last vear, but opposition was made by the par- ents of young Stockton: Their opposition was =0 strong that the couple finally de- cided to be married secretly and then see if the parents would not relent. On w Year's day Herbert Stockton came Oakland and met Miss Malone. to Together they went to San Rafael, where | +* they secured a license and were married at the Methodist church by its pastor, the n Rails Soon to Be Laid Be- tween Los Angeles and Salt Lake City.

Prince Chuang Ying Nien and Chao Shu Chiao to commit suicide. Hsu Chen Yu, Yu Hsien and K! Hain to be beheaded. This is not exactly what the Ministers demanded, but it is considered advisable to agree to it, as the demand for lives has been agreed to, except in the case of Gen- eral Tung Fuh Siang, whom the court is There is a private understanding that his life will be claimed when it is possible. The European and Chinese secretaries of legations and others who have lived in China for years consider that China has gained a victory, as the only man’the court has to behead is Yu Hsien. The other two are in the hands of the Jao- anese and could be beheaded when the'r execution was wanted. Sulcide is no dis- grace whatever in the eyes of the Chl- nese. No one believes General Slang will ever | suffer punishment. Prince Ching is greatly alarmed at the preparations for the military expedition into the interior. He asks why they are not countermanded, now that China has agreed to the demands of the powe:s, I?steml of which the preparations con- tinue. J. Fowler, the United States Consul at Chefu, has sent Minister Conger a proc- lamation issued by Yuen Shai Kal, the giving protection to the missionaries and offering a reward of 200 taels for the cap- ture of any of the ringleaders of the re- cent disturbances, and offering a reward of 100 taels for the capture of others than those agtually committing outrages. The civil and military authorities wiil be held strictly decountable for the good order of their districts. When outrages are com- mitted they will be disgraced and reported to the throne. Where no outrages occur for three years the civil and military authorities will be rewarded by a merit tablet and button. The merchants of Tientsin have sent a memorial to General Chaffee asking him to resume the occupation of the Formo- san concesson, long ago given up aad unoccupled, though both the British and German commanders talk of annexing it. The mercharts point out that they will be badl, hnndlcn‘?ed without the concession. as lKeY would have to pay wharfa, L5 a forelgn power as well as to the Chinese officials.

FALLS TO BOTTOM OF A MINING SHAFT Jesse Sanders’ Fingers Catch in a Pulley Rope and He Is Carried to Top of Derrick With Bucket ORONA, Feb. 2l—Jess Sanders, an employe of the Corona De- velopment Company at Temescal, had a miraculous escape from instant death last night. Sanders and Monte Wilson were digging at the bogtom of shaft No. 5, the dirt be- ing hoisted to the surface in a large bucket operated by ropes, pulleys and a horse. The bucket being filled, the usual | signal was given and as it began to rise Sanders thoughtlessly seized one of the moving ropes with his right hand in an effort to steady the load. His fingers were at once drawn Into the pulley blocks, and he was slowly carrled upward with the bucket of earth. His fellow. worker shouted “Whoa!" to the horse a nu: of times, and when the unfortunate max had been carried half way up to the mouth of the shaft the horse stopped for | a few seconds, and then started again. | Just as man and bucket reached the | surface the horse stopped once more, but Sanders was unable to exitricate himself, | and the antmal again moved on and the unfortunate man was carried upward a distance of fifteen feet to the top of the | derrick. Just before the pulley blocks met he made an effort to free his right hand by pulling on the opposite rope. The ef- fort was successful, but the left hand was immediately caught. The unfortunate man in his agony wrenched his hand loose and fell ltke a stone a distance of twenty- five feet to the bottom of the shaft. ‘When lifted out h? vn:a ;tlll consc((ous. 101 leeding profusel 'rom a cut on i'fie"fifi‘xn", which extended around to the “ street, 93:6 § of Lombard, 8 32 by (wife of Arthur W) to lot on W line of Hyde S 2:11 by W 68:8; A.

Moreover, he alleged that the officers stood by each other when in troublk ing that commanders of twent: vessels of the n lost since the war had with one slight punishment | _Cannon of Illlnois and Dayton of West | Virginia warmly defended the navy.

He charged that | the Secretary f State was in league with the British, and contended that the treaty of Washington. made between Great Brit- ain and the United States in 1871, was being violated. His remarks drew from Hitt, chairman of the Committee on For- | elgn’ Affairs. a statement that both the { United States and Great Britain had va- riously construed the treaty of 1571 and | international law as affecting sending of supplies and arms to belligerents aceord- ing to the purpose to be served.
