ROHNERVILLE, June 8.—While the Ukiah and Scotia stage was on its way north yesterday the brake broke on the summit of a hill near Camp Grant, and several women were injured in the over- turning of the wagon. The stage had five passengers—Mrs. Drake and daughter of Colusa, Miss Burton of Harris, Mrs. Ed-| ward s and Mrs. S. W. Sweasey of Hydesville. Just as the Leavy coach started down he Cham- | the steep grade there was a snapping of iron under the wagon. The sound fright- ened the horses and they tried to jump from the middle of the road. The driver realized the peril of himself and his party and whipped the team into line, but he had no means of controlling the down- ward rush of the stage. The horses, feel- ing the stage pressing upon them, tried to escape injury by dashing down the hill, The screams of the women only served to increase the terror of the animals, and | at a turn -in the road, while they were galloping at a furious pace, they swung to one side, landing stage and occupants in a heap of wagon fragments, com minuted horse gearing, dilapidated gar- ments and disintegrated baggage. The women were hurled into the wreckage and all received injuries more or less se- rious. Mrs. Drake had one of her arms broken and a shoulder dislocated. The injuries of the others are painful, but not S0 severe as to cause alarm. SAN JOSEAN GETS LOST IN GREATER NEW YORXK Aged Augustus Rathbone Forced to Utilize a Policeman to Get His Bearings.

NEW YORK, June 9.—Some time this afternoon two United States army pris- oners who were serving sentences on Gov- ernors Island for desertion escaped. They embarked upon an improvised raft and drifted away from the island on the strong flood tide. It has been learned by the army officers that the men were picked up by a tughoat and landed in New York. A detail of six men, in charge of a corporal, were scouring the lower part of the city all the night looking for them. The prisoners are Harry McGuire, who was serving a term of eighteen months for desertion, and John Winship, who was servinz a term of two years for the same offense. It is understood, that the men deserted from a military pdst in Ne- braska. The men belonged to the class known as parcle prisoners, and as such were members of a squad of ‘‘trusty” prisoners, who gather ashes and refuse from the barracks and cart it away.

S L SHEEPMEN ARE AT WAR IN THE NORTHWEST Masked Employes_nepreuntmg Stock Owners Said to Be Killing the Animals, TACOMA, Wash., June 9.—War between the sheepmen and cattlemen of the North- west has commenced and promisés to have many exciting phases. C. T. Van Allen, a sheep raiser from Utah, reports here that many sheep in Wyoming have already been killed by masked men repre- senting stock-owners' interests. He esti- mates that the ranges of Washington, Idahko, Oregon, Utah, Wyoming and Montana now contain upward of a million sheep more than the ranges will sustain.

T L N Epecial Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Wash., June 9.—Another big muddle has ocurred in Washington's Pan- American Exposition Commission and the entire State is aroused over the fact that even at this late day Washington's re- sources are not properly represented at Buffalo. When the State Commission met a month ago many actions of Executive Commissioner O. M. Moore were criti- ized and the State Commission decided that he should not be permitted to man- age things alone at Buffalo. To this Moore acquiesced, with the result that an advisory commitice, consisting of him- self, Secretary Lawall and Press Agent Marvin, was appointed to have full con- trol at the exhibition. Secretary Lawall returned from Buffalo Yesterday, bearing information that Com- missioner’ Moore has disregarded the wishes of the advisory committee and has tried personally to contrcl the display. It is claimed he has issued checks without the knowledge of other members of the advisory committee, and that the_entire work has been badly handled. For in- stance, lumbering, the State’s greatest in- dustry, is absolutely unrepresented at Buffalo, and the commission had to ar- range to-day by wire to make a pigmy ferestry exhibit of two carloads. It was also learned that one shipment of freight remains unsent at the Tacoma depot because Moore failed to arrange to pay charges on the same. The situation was thoroughly discussed by Levi Ankeny and other members of the commission to- night. Final action will be taken at an adjourned meeting to be held in Seattle to-morrow nizht. “YANKEE DOODLE® IN CANARY’S REPERTOIRE Patriotic Missouri Bird Whistles the Air Without a Skip or Break. CHICAGO, June 9.—Twelve hundred dollars may be an extravagant sum to pay for a canary, but Louis M. Hedges of 59 ‘Warren avenue does not think so. He says that he considers a bird sufficiently pa- triotic to whistle “Yankee Doodle” con- tinuously and without losing a note is worth even more. Mr. Hedges has just purchased a two- year-old canary known as ‘Missouri Dick” from a shoemaker named O’Brien in St. Joseph, Mo. It appears O'Brien, while sitting at his bench, varied his peg- driving by whistling ‘‘Yankee Doodle.” The canary sat perched in its cage direct- ly _over his head. Four months ago O'Brien first heard the bird whistle dis- connected pleces of the tune. but eventu. ally it rendered it as perfectly as Whistle it himself.

EILL GOMPANY N LAST WEEK Performers Are Poorly Cast in “Parisian Romance.” Crowded Houses Continue to Greet Clever People of Other Theaters. It is rather to be regretted that James Neill has chosen to give as his last week's programme ‘“A Parisian Romance,” pre- sented at the California Theater to a fair- ly good house last night. Neither for Mr. Neill nor for any member of his good company is there a part in the play that fits with any degree of comfort. That of Baron Chevrial, roue, cynic, courtier, is several sizes too large for Mr. Neill him- self, whose fatal amiability simply smoth- ers every sinister suggestion in the part. Not a creep, nor a shadow of a suggestion of a thrill is there in the conception from beginning to end. His villainy does not horrify—it is too patently assumed; his tyranny does not enrage—it is too obvi- ously artificial; his greed does not con- vince—he is too evidently good-natured. He is simply a rather amiable old person, forced against his better nature by an exacting playwright into a wholly un- congenial naughtiness, and quaintly re- liant on his audience’s sympathy with his underlying righteousness. Julia Dean has an uncongenial part as Rose Guerin, an actress, but does well with such opportunity as lies in it. Miss Chapman did good work as Madame de Targy, and is well supported by Frank E. Camp, who, as Henri de Targy, gave a mam and striking presentment of a leasing conception. Lillian Andrews, aude Gordon and Louise Brownell were also_pleasing, and John W. Burton took good care of the part of Dr. Chesnel. The plece is excellently mounted. Frank Barton, Ethel Barlow and the Samayoas are the Olympia’s attractions this week. « . . At the Columbia Theater this evening Henry Miller will present for the first time cn any stage an entirely new ro- mantic play entitled “Darcy of the Guards.” This play has been in prepara- tion by Mr. Miller and his company for some time, and a production much out of the ordinary may be looked for. The story deals with people of 1777, and the locale is Philadelphia at the time of that city's occupancy by the British un- der Howe and Cornwallis. The title role, played by Miller, is that of a young lIrish officer of the Grenadier Guards, on the staff of Lord Cornwallis. He falls in love with a pretty colonial girl, and their story is told most ef- fectively by the author. The first production in English of Saraou’'s play, “The KEmpress Theo- dora,” will be given to-morrow night at the Grand Opera-house, with Florence Stone in the title role. Melbourne Mac- Dowell will appear as Andreas, one of the traitors to the Emperor Justinmn, with whom the Empress is in love. The may has not been seen here since it us given some years ago by Bernhardt. The play will be staged with the same sp'enaor that has tings of the other MacDowell's erng: o hu) : ouvenir por- trait of the actor -will be presented 1o very one attending the performance. * s % The success of “Bonnie Prince Charlie™ at the Alcazar Theater has been sucn as 10 persuacde the management to con- tinue the play {or another week.

Annie Myers has made a record for herself in the part of the mechanical doll, and others of the com- pany are also seen to happy advantage. A feature of the performance is some excellent male chorus work. “The Babes in the Wood" will follow. .« e “Jim the Westerner” is the Central's programme for this week.

Work on the Coast Division Line Being Rapidly Prosecuted. —_— President Charles M. Hays of the South- ern Pacific Company returned Friday evening frem Portland, Or., where he has been on a tour of inspection. He was ac- ccmpanied on his trip by H. E. Fitzhugh, who is shortly to fill the position of as- sistant to the president. General Man- ager Julius Kruttschnitt completed the party. While in Portland they inspected the new machine shops that have been recently erected there, and Hays express- ed himself as greatly pleased with the plant. He found no fault with the way that business is conducted in the north~ ern division. On the way north President Hays made - special inspeetion of the rolling stock. He fovnd a great deal of fault, and one of Lis first steps on his return was to order some new passenger cars. Hays does not do things by halves and an order was sent East for fifty coaches. Thirty of these will be the now popular chair cars and the rest of the order will be made up of modern day coaches. All the cars ordered will be sixty feet long, the big- gest ever ordered or used by the Southern Pacific. The new cars will be used on the overland service and will certainly be an acquisition to the road. On his way down President Hays stop- v ped off long enough at Sacramento to a visit to the railroad shops. The tions to the rolling mills have been co pleted and they will have twice the ca- pacity thaj they had in the past. A larg: er number. of men will necessarily be em- ployed and work will be completed with greater dispatch. Grading for the double track between this city and Millbrae is being pushed along with vim. Seven miles of this track has already been completed, eighty-pound rails being used. As soon as this work is finished the line will be placed in the same condition all the way to San Mateo. When these heavy rails are laid down faster time can be made with safety and the roadbed will be much smoother to ride over. New oil tank cars are arriving here for the Southern Pacific every day. They are coming in consignments of ten at a time. The moment they arrive they are glssatched to the ofl district at Bakers- eld. MURDER AND SUICIDE END A FAMILY QUARREL Prosperous Chicago Contractor Com- mits Suicide After Killing His Mother-in-Law. LONDON, Ontario, June 9.—Crazed by love for his young wife, whom it is- sald he had driven from his home in Chicago. Herbert Fulford, a prosperous Chicago contractor, last night killed his mother- in-law, Mrs. Jennie McCord and then blew out his brains. The tragedy occurred on the McCord farm at Ildertonm, mear here. The victims were first cousins. Fulford married Gertie McCord seven years ago, his first wife having secured a divotce from him. Three weeks ago Fulford and his_wife had a dispute and she returned to her parents. Fulford followed Satur- day. He drove to the McCord farm and demanded that Mrs. MeCord, who was milking in the yard, tell him where his wife was. She refused and he fired four shots from a revolver into her body, kill- ing her instantly. He then turned the weapon upon himself, blowing out his brains. ADVERTISEMENTS.
