City Traffic Is Stopped by Stalled Morton Dray. A stalled dray, a crowd of strikers.and the half hearted tactics of the police sed a blockade of Market street yes- * v morning which lasted nearly half an hour. A team hitched to a truck be- longing to the Morton Draying Company was passing down Market street about i1 o'clock. An individual in a buggy called | They obeyea { “whoa’ to the truck horses. the order. The driver started them again and they were once more stopped, this time by a chorus of “whoas,” the man in the buggy having been reinforced by a crowd of strikers from the sidewalks. Every attempt on the part of the truck ariver to make headway was frustrateu by the man in the buggy, who crossed and recrossed in front of the team and varied his salo of “whoas™ by a series of personal remarks. Near the intersection of Market street and Grapt avenue was a newly watered plece of roadway. Here, by driving across the street ahead of the team, the man in the buggy brought the dray to a stand- still. A crowd quickly gathered and -in spite of the efforts of the speclal officer in charge of the truck Market street was £oon blocked and for a considerable spac POSTUM CEREAL. MUSCULAR PASTOR.

GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 10.—To-day wit- | nessed the largest gathering of people | Nevada County has seen in-many years. | The event was a reunion of the pioneers | of this county, and every old settler with- |in a radius of fifty miles drove or rode or walked to Glenbrook Park, a pretty little retreat and picnic grounds midway be- | tween Grass Valley and Nevada City. The occasion included the dedication of the new electric railroad connecting these two mining cities, which was recently completed at an outlay of $100,000. It is imated that at least 4000 persons were n_Glenbrook Park. Ex-Senator Preston delivered an _ad- dress and the response was given by John Martin, a San Francisco capitalist who is back of the electric road and other enter- prises in this section. Another event was the “burial of the 15 Peried Of exhe aation. } hatchet” by a committee from Grass Val- port of those who saw them, appeared to have been those ; longing to some steamer, for they wore uniforms similar to those worn trans-Pacific steamers ! to" signalize the end of a long-standing feud between the two places. The local military _company, in command of Lieu- tenant Tyrrell, with the Nevada City | Company, commanded by Major P. F. Simonds, took part in a sham battle, | many of the soldiers wading through water waist deep in the thickest of the fray. Both companies retired to their | auarters with honors even. | “There was an exciting trotting race dur- | ing the afternoon, in which three horses were entered. The owners were 5 | Wrighkt, Phil Byrne and Robert Latta. Wright's horse won both heats, the first in 2:42 and the second in 2:40.

SANTA ANa, Sept. 10.—Jose Serey, an | aged Mexican, died last night in New- | port Beach. Serey is the Mexican who has been bringing gold nuggets to Santa Ana from Lucas Canyon for the past several years. There has been considerable mys- tery concerning the location of ‘the old | man’s mine, he having been very secre- | tive. He has sold some nuggets here for | $25 and $35 each during the past few years. @ i oo o was in_possession of a hooting, jeering |mob.

The Examiner failed last night to sub- | stanticte the charges it-made to the Po- mmission against Officer O. H. | | Commissioners Mahoney, Newhall, How- | ell and Wallace all voted “not guilty,” so the verdict was a complete vindication of | Knight. The charge the paper made against | Knight, through E. J. Livernash, was that | the officer had refused to make an arrest | when called upon by Livernash to do so. | _The testimony of several policemen and | William Manning and George Smith was | positive that no assault was made upon the two men; that the onlv battery that occurred was upon the Examiner camera.

MURDER MAY BE THE CHARGE. Alvin Smith, a striking engineer, was | arrested yesterday afternoon as he was |leaving a meeting of the Piledrivers' | Union at Sacramento and East streets by Detectives McMahon and Reynolds and | booked at the City Prison on a charge | of assault to murder. He is accused of | being one of the three strikers who struck Fred Huffernan, a non-union engineer employed by Healy, Tibbits & Co., con- tractors, as he was entering his home | Saturday_evening at Green and Larkin | streets. The blow was delivered with an {iron pipe, fracturing Huffernan's skull, j and he is in a precarious condition. John Otterson, a boy whko was with Huffernan at the time and who was also attacked by the three strikers but escaped without injury, saw Smith enter the | headquarters ‘of the Piledrivers’ Union | i}uterdny and he immediately notified W. | H. Healy, his employer. Healy communi- catzd with police headquarters and Cap- | tain Seymour detailed McMahon and Rey- | nolds on the case. | Otterson till the meeting dispersed and when Smith left the bulldin, pointed out by Otterson and arrest. Otterson says he wifi be able to | identtfy the other two men. Smith denies that he was implicated in the crime. e Non-Union Men Dismissed. Matthew Price, a striking marine fire- man, met G. W. Taylor and Willlam Nel- | son, non-union teamsters, on Kearny and | Clay streets about 6 o'clock yesterday morning. He insisted that they should become union men and when they refused he struck at Taylor. Both Taylor and Nelson attacked him and he was soon on | his back in the street. The three were arrested by Policemen Bourdette and Anderson and taken to the City Prison. {Each was charged with disturbing the peace, and, as Taylor and Nelson carried revolvers, an additional charge of carry- ing concealed weapons was booked against each. The cases were called in Judge Fritz's court vesterday and those against Taylor and Nelson were dismissed. Price was convicted and ordered to appear for sentence to-day. Richard Haskins, a water tender on the steamer Ventura. called at police head- quarters yesterday morning and an- nounced that he was the man who shot George Adams, a striker, in the hip at Mason and Ellis streets Monday night. He claims that he was attacked by Adams and two other strikers and fired the shot in self defense. He was told that there ‘was no charge dgainst him. Imprisoned and Beaten. . H. Wilber, a teamster in the employ of McNab & Smith, was taken to the Emer- gency Hospital last evening suffering from many bruises. He claimed that when he left the stables he was surrounded by a crowd and taken to the teamsters headquarters at 672 Fourth street, where bhe was imprisoned in a back room for several hours. He was then released and was accompanied to a dark corner, where he was badly beaten. P« L Wittman’s Case Continued. Judge J. M.

Wound Inflicted by Insect Causes Death Five Days Later. —p—— Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 10.—The bite of a small tarantula caused the death of Gottlieb Hasler, a pioneer of this valley. at his home in Evergreen yesterday afternoon. Last Wednesday Hasler went to the barn on his ranch to feed his horses.. While getting some hay a tarantula the size of |a pigeon’s egg and covered with black hair fell on his arm.and bit him. Al- though not especially painful the bite was soon followed by a swelling of the arm to twice its normal size. A physiclan was summoned and the wound cauterized, but the action was too | 1ate to prevent blood-poisoning. Hasler | grew worse rapidly | afternoon in terrible agony. Hasler was 74 years of age and a na- tive of Germany e had been a resi- dent of California for forty-five years.

Rea’s Declaration Regarding the State Fair, SACRAMENTO, Sept. 10.—Considerable irritation has been caused in this city by the announcement of James W. Rea, the San Jose politician, that his city would gladly take the State Fair and that the District Association there would handle it successfully. Ex-Postmaster Thomas Fox declares that the people of San Jose do not run their own district fairs “on the square.,” He says that they owe to people in.this city about $1600 which was | won in purses at the San Jose fair last fall. B. W. Cavanaugh asserts that he has never been paid the winnings he | made last fall at the San Jose fair. Other | Sacramentans who would like to have money which they say the Santa Clara society owes them are Vet Tryon $200, John M. Crane $150 and W. D. Randell $180, L Noted Oarsman a Suicide.

Mayor Phelan yesterday placed his seal of disapproval on the granting of special privileges by vetoing the resolutiofl to extend part of the store front of the prem- ises at 101 Post street over the sidewalk. In a long communication his Honor states his reasons for his action, but is silent regarding the numerous-special privileges which have been granted by the board with his approval. The communicauon says in part: From the charter It appears that the Board of Supervisors shall grant by ordinance general authority to the Board of Public Works to issue permits for work upon the streets of the city, as the board has done. But as the Board of Public Works is the only medium_through Which the Supervisors may act, and as. its power is specitically limited by the charter in the matter of permanent encroachments, there is no power in the city to grant such @ privi- . e ¥ _———————————— Miss Carroll’s Concert a Success.

R Steamer Centennial Brings $250,000 in Gold From the Mines. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Sept. 10.—Nome's open sea- son is already nearly at an end. This is ‘the report brought by the steamship Centennial, which arrived in port from the north at noon to-day. Purser Mc- Donald of the Centennial says that ice is forming each night in low places and that frost lies each morning along the creeks. ““The indications,” said Mr. McDonald, “point to the fact that Nome is to have an early winter following the late spring. Cold weather is coming on. When we left the nights were decidedly chilly. ‘With the exception of one gale, which came on before the Centennial reached Bering Sea and was Indicated only by the heavy ground swell which it had left, no bad weather has yet been experi- enced.” Gold is beginning to come into Nome at ‘a good rate, and all indications are that the next ships returning to pert from Nome will have large amounts of treasure. The Centennial brought $250,- 000, in care of Purser McDonald. Of this $65,000 belongs to the Wild Goose Mining Company and is consigned to the Scan- dinavian-American Bank of this city. The Northwest Commercial Company sent down a large consignment. By far the greater portion of the quarter of a mil- Tion, however, was contained in individ- ual pokes, the contents of which ran from $50 to $5000. Gold is coming into Nome from Teller and from Gold Run. A peculiar feature about the latter place is the fact that the large amount of claim-jumping and disputes during the early part of the sea- son caused caution on the part of many owners and they said nothing of the richness of their property. Now, how- ever, this richness is beginning to man- ifest itself in the season's yield. Captain Conradi of the Centennial re- ports that on the voyage to Nome he picked up the second mate and six of the crew of the schooner James Sennett of San Francisco. The Sennett went ashore on Unimak Island on August 7. Her crew were picked up on August 21. During their stay -on the island they had plenty of provisions and even lived for a large portion of the time aboard the wrecked schooner. They were brought from Nome to Seattle. The Centennial gla.ssed the Rosecrans, bound north, on eptember 1. ? At Nome, when the Centennial left, were the United States revenue cutter Bear, the steamers Arctic and Dora and the schooner Abbie M. Deering. COUNTERFEITERS AND SWINDLERS Dangerous Crooks Are Taken Into Custody by Detectives. Detectives Tom Gibson and Archie Hamill arrested Charles .Compton; Ir- vine Satniff and Eugene Funk yesterday for having extorted money through a fake employment scheme. When the prisoners’ rooms were searched a portion of a counterfeiter's outfit was found in oneof them and turned over to the Fed- eral authorities. ‘The men inserted an advertisement in a daily paper offering liberal inducements to men who would be willing to distribute circulars. Applicants were told that they must pass a physical examination and ed . J. Depew Kergan, with the & K. Co.,” at Market and Mason streets. Kergan charged the men from $10 to $15 each for his services and when they went back to' report for duty they found that their would-be employ- ers had decamped. Detective Hammil impersonated a man desiring a position yesterday and secured the information upon which he made the arrests. A counterfeiter’s mold for the making of bogus dollars was discovered and the men are supposed to have been engaged in this violation of the law. —_——————— CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEETS. The Chamber of Commerce held its reg- ular monthly meeting yesterday. It was unanimously resolved that a message he sent to President McKinley, congratulal- ing him upon his escape and extending to |* him the well wishes of the commercial men of this city. Mrs. Kilbourne, daughter of the late Captain Coolidge, who was for many years secretary of the Merchants' BEx- change, has donated to the Chamber of Commerce ‘a valuable collection of ship- ing records which he accumulated dur- ng the years 1848-1852. The gift was re- ceived with the greatest satisfaction by the directors, who state that it will prove most useful for purposes of reference. Nine new members were admitted to the chamber yesterday. .

Assistant Chief McCarthy was severely injured. The explcsion wrecked the vault in the chief engineer’s office of the Short Line Railway, and nearly all the records of the road, including the plans of the new lSaltk, Lake-Los Angeles extension, were ost. For a time the six-story Dooley block, to the north, and the new high school building adjoining on the west were in danger of destruction, but the fire was finally got under control with but slight damage to those buildings. The loss will probably a’gproxlmate $250,000. The Ore- gon Short Line offices will be moved into the Dooley block temporarily. It would be difficult for any one outside of the Short Line Company to estimate what was lost in to-day’s fire. It had many very valuable records stored in the different parts of the destroyed building upon which no money value could be placed. They were records of the com- pany from its beginning—pecords which represented the company’s entire history and holdings. There is no insurance or money equivalent which can replace these. ‘What difference their loss will make to :.il‘le rajlroad, its officers do not care to scuss. © iiviirilieiiriinileiieieiviieldeh @ PATIENT OUT OF DANGER, Continued From Page Two. ROOSEVELT LEAVES WITH CONFIDENCE Vice President Declares That He Is Sure the Chief Executive Will Recover. MILBURN HOUSE, BUFFALO, Sept. 10.—Vice President Roosevelt left the city to-night at 9:50 for Oyster Bay, perfectly confident that the President will recover. So confident was he, in fact, that when a question of doubt was put to him he an- swered it with a parry. He was then asked: “Do you remember that President Gar- field progressed for ten days and thap then just as he was ready to get out he collapsed and finally died?” Quick as thought the Vice President answered: “Ah, but vou forget twenty years of modern surgery of progress. From what I can learn also the Garficld wound was much more serious than the wound of President McKinley. I believe that the President will recover and I believe it so thoroughly that I leave here to-night.” Questioned as to the mode of procedure §0 fer‘as the Stale was ‘concerned he said: “I see no need for the call of an ex- traordinary Grand Jury. The Grand Jury now in session, composed of Amer- jcan citizens, will undoubtedly take care of the would-be assassin and the author- ities of Erie County will, for county, State and national pride, make a vigor- ous prosecution. Unless Governor Odell is asked to interfere I see no need of his calling an extra term or deputizing an Assistant Attorney General to prosecute.” Asked as to the enacting of legislation against anarchists he said: “I have not thought much on the mat- ter. What has disturbed me is to find a reason for even anarchists to attack a man like President McKinley. Here is the one country where they are allowed perfect freedom of speech. Here, where the ruler is a man descended from farmer stock and self-made. Here is a man who has no fortune nor no means other than | that which he may manage to save out of his salary as President. Probably many a workingman in the United States to- day has as large an amount of real es- tate as Mr. McKinley. In addition, he is kindly disposed and a Christian gentle- man "and in every great emergency in which he could act he has been a friend of the common people. Why should he be shot, then, even by anarchists?” PITTSBURG POLICE DISCOVER PAPERS Matter Relating to Emma Goldman Is Found in Rooms of Suspects. PITTSBURG, Sept. 10.—The police searched the effects of Harry Gordon and Carl Nold to-day and found some papers relating to Emma Goldman. Gordon is a clothier who always entertained the Gold- man woman on her trips to Plitsburs, and Nold was an accomplice of Alexander Berkmann. The latter Is now serving a twenty-two-year sentence in the peniten- tiary in Allegheny for shooting H. C. Frick during the Homestead strike in 1892. Nold himself received a sentence of five years for complicity in the crime. Among Nold's papers was found a let- ter from Berkmann. It was written on a scrap of paper, partly in German, Eng- lish and cipher code. It has not yet been deciphered. It was evidently slipped out e? the prison unknown to the warden. Gordon was evidently Goldman's “mana- ger,” for in his desk were found a lot of letters, some showing that dates for lec- tures by Goldman had been arranged, and others asking him to_ make arrange- ments for lectures. Both men had lists of the names of men supposed to be brother anarchists. The names and ad- dresses have been forwarded to the police of different citles, San Francisco and Chi- cago among others. The police have made only ‘ome name public, | that of ~Peter Isaac, 310 Fell street, San Francisco."” Peter Isaac, referred to in the above dispatch, has not been in this eity since last May.

LONDON, Sept. 11.—Stimulated by the attack upon President McKinley, Conti- nental governments are adopting the greatest precautions to insure the safety of the leading sovereigns. Twenty-five troops of cavalry will be employed in France to_protect the routes taken by Emperor Nicholas. The French, Swiss and Italian governments have ordered their police to exercise the greatest vigi- lance on the frontiers in the expectation that frightened anarchists will seek ref- uge in flight. e supposition that anarchism might form a subject of conversation at the meeting of the rulers was probably the origin of the unfounded report that Em- peror William would call an international conference to deal with the evil. e - 'CURSES PRESIDENT 'AND LOSES POSITION SAN ~ JOSE, lr:'l.:;.li 10.—F.

Interesting Features at the Gathering of the Old « Fighters. —— CLEVELAND, Sept. 10.—The naval veterans took first place in the festivities attendant upon the Grand Army encamp- ment to-day. The eighty-seventh anni- versary of Oliver Hazard Perry’'s historic triumph on Lake Erie was fittingly cele- brated in a grand parade of naval vet- erans and a naval display upon the laker Other features of interest in the day's programme were a reception by the Cleve- land Yacht Club, a dog watch of the Asso- ciation of Naval Veterans at Gray's Armory, a campfire of Union ex-prison- ers of war at Central Armory, a reception for national oflcers of the Grand Army by the Woman's Relief Corps at Chamber of Commerce Hall, a reception of Ladies of the G. A. R., the West Side campfire at Turner Hall and a lake front naval display by the United States Naval Re- serve boats, including illuminations and maneuvers by the fleet. The real business relative to the ad- ministrative affairs of the Grand Army commenced this afternoon, when numer- ous caucuses were held at -the head- quarters of the various departments. The election of the next commander-in-chief promises to be one of the most interesting in the history of the organization. Gen- eral Sickles’ candidacy is being boomed, but if he secures the election he will be the first Democratic incumbent of that most important office. Governor Van Sant of Minnesota is handling the campaign of Judge EN Torrence of Minneapolis, and the Minnesota men claim that they have excellent chances of winning out. It is said that General Stewart of Pennsylvania is the administration favorite, and the fight is exfiected to be waged most closely between the candidates from New York ard Pennsylvania. Mrs. Calista Robinson Jones of Brad- ford, Vermgnt, is a candidate for presi- dent of the Woman's Relief Corps, the largest auxiliary body allied to the Grand Army. Her election is practically decided upon. 2 At Central Armory to-night the Union Ex-Prisoners of War held their Twenty- ninth annual reunion. Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland presided. Governor Nash of Ohio and Governor Bliss of Michi- gan addressed the assemblage. The Woman's National Association, an auxiliary of the Ex-Prisoners of War, to- day elected national officers as follows: National president, Mrs. Willlam Paul, Allegheny, Pa.; senior vice president, Mrs. John Horne, Steubenville, Ohio; junior vice president, Mrs. Frank Traville; sec- retary, Mrs. J. E. Hutchinson; treasurer, Mrs. Alfred H. Jones. L e e arding the President of the United tates. In discussing the attempted as- sassination of the President with some Native Sons he took exception to their kindly words concerning the stricken President and remarked: “Damn_the President of the United States. He is no good, anyhow.” He was hustled away by friends to save him from a beating by the enraged Na- tive Sons. Later the affair was reported to Street Superintendent Garratt. Bar- ros admitted having made the remark, and further declared he was not intoxi- cated at the time, whereupon he was dis- charged. JAILED ANARCHISTS INSIST ON RELEASE Application Will Be Made in Chicago To-Day for Writs of Habeas Corpus. CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—An application will be made to-morrow for a writ of habeas corpus in behalf of the nine anarchists now under arrest charged with conspiracy to murder President McKinley. The name of Emma Goldman also probably will be included in the petition. Should the application for a writ be successful it probably will be made re- turnable Thursday morning, at which time all the defendants will be brought into court. In the evidence which can be produced to hold the prisoners, it is said, the Chi- cago police have the following telegram from the Buffalo Chief of Police: *‘Czolgosz_was in Chicago August 18, in company of Emma Goldman and Abra- ham Isaak at Isaak's office.” The Chicago police do not know on what evidence this statement is based, but take it for granted that it is a part of the con- fession of Czolgosz. The decision to resort to habeas corpus was, reached after many efforts had been made to induce the authorities to release the prisoners on bail. JOHN A.
