Would Remove Those Stand- ing Between His Son and a Fortune. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Oct. 14.—The tragedy at the Agnews stock farm yesterday morning, waen Charles Douglas kiiled himself after sttempting the life of his wife, Angeline Douglas, and his stepdaughter, Aloha Ag- new, is mystifying to the Sheriff’s omcx:!. the cause for the husband’s acts, Everything bout the crime recalls the Dunham mur- ders in Campbell in 139. There is no evidence to ow that Douglas was in- ane. In all his dealings around town he was careful and particular, and many now believe he pianned his crime, as Dupham had, for a financial gain for his child. That he did not commit murder was not s rault, and he took s life | only whnen ne was’ discovered. Lougias much resembled Dunham in character . He was close mouth: heid aloor irom everypody, and spoke of his past life or aftair peraments oI (wo men were never more alike. few who knew Douglas believe he ne, but think he planned the deliberately. When he married . Agnew a few years ago she was a with property wortu fully $50,000. he did not turn over to her nus- t kept it in her own name. 1t is that Douglas had tried of nu- merous occasions to obtain po: ion of this property t had been deeaed to Mrs. by her former husband, who made no provision for the three children, knowing nis wite would take care of them. For some months Douglas has been turning everything that he could about the ew home into cash. The place was beautifully situated and in- cluded one of the finest live oak groves in the county. Douglas had these trees cut down and sold for wood. On this he realized a couple of thousand dolla Other things about the place were sold | and the whole proceeds went into pocket. | There was one child resulting from Douglas’ marriage, and, as in the case the Dunham murders, this was the one not assaulted.

He at- tempted to kill Mrs. Douglas and the daughter Aloha, and as Irma, the 3-ye. old girl, has a badly bruised face, it believed he attacked her, and probably rerdered her unconsclous before he tried to murder his stepdaughter. With these three out of the way his little boy would have become the heir to his wife’s prop- worth at least $50,000. If his mur- derous plans had not been frustrated it is believed he intended to fiee, or else at- tempt to prove his innocence, But little is known of Douglas here. He never told any one about himself, and always seemed to be hiding his past life. He was possessed of about $7000 when he s‘aeme here, which he invested in securi- s. Mrs. Douglas and her daughter Aloha are at the Gates Sanitarfum. The girl's condition is critical. Her skull is crushed and she may dle. Mrs. Douglas will re- cover. FOLICE PREVENT FIGHT BETWEEN TOY AND WALLACE Promoters Believe That Pugilism Has Been Killed for All Time in Denver. DENVER, Oct. 14.—The ten-round go scheduled to occur to-night under the auspices of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Club between Eddie Toy of San Francisco and “Spike” Wallace was interfered with by the police at the last moment. A large crowd, including the principals, had gath- ered at the clubhouse when word came from President Adams, of the Fire and Police Board, that the fight could not be held. The promoters claim that they had received assurance from Chief Armstrong that he would not interfere, and for a time it looked as though prize fighting would again be sanctioned in Denver, It is thought the action of President Adams to-night practically e y kills pugilism here SOUTHERN PACIFIC GIVES HAYS BIG CHECK Receives the Largest Sum Ever Paid to a Railroad Man for Ten Months’ Service, NEW YORK, Oct. 14—Charles M. Hay: 3 who recently surrendered a five years' contract as president of the Southern Pacific Railroad at the request of E. H. Harriman, is said to have re- celved a check for $155,00 as payment in full for his services. His yearly salary was to be $35,00. He served ten months and upon his acquiescence in the wishes of the Harriman syndicate that he re- tire a full year's salary and a bonus of $100,000 were pald him, according to cur- rent report. This is the largest sum ever pald to a railroad man for a llke term of service. e el POLICE. AND EVICTED TENANTS IN CONFLICT Angry Crowd Hurl Stones at the Of- ficers and Several Persons Are Injured. LONDON, Oct. 14.—John O'Donnell, Na- tionalist, attempted to address his con- stituents to-day in Kilmaine, county of Mayo, the scene of recent evictlons. He was dragged off the platform five times b; the police and finally, after a flerce ng): gle, was taken to the barracks. One hundred and fifty police were pres- ent at the moeting.

PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 14—The Ore- gonian to-morrow will say: President P. J. Jennings of the Helena Mining Com- pany and the Musick Mining and Milling ompany, located in the Bohemia Minin district 1h Lane and Douglass counties Oregon, announces that arrangements have been completed for building a rail- road from Cottage Grove, Or., a distance of thirty-five miles through a reglon of heavy timber to the Bohemla mines. It is expected that construction work will begin this fall. Conhected with this is the project of bullding a smelter, cither in Portland or in the Bohemia district. The smelter enterprise will follow the railroac and it is probable that both will be in operation in legs than a year. The money for the railroad will be supplied by Eastern capitalists. Britain Reassures the Public. LONDON, Oct. 14—The Pall Mall Ga- zette this afternoon says: Orders have been received at Aldershot to hold every available man in readiness to proceed on actlve service. The garrison totals 29,000 men. This is interpreted as meaning that the Government is desirous of reassuring the public, and not as foreshadowing an immediate demand for the services of the first army corps.

BOSTON, Oct. 14.—Thomas W. Lawson’s confessed losses of $7,000,000 in the recent slump in copper was the topic of wide- spread discussion In financial circles here to-day. That Lawson had been a heavy loser was known about the street long be- for his interview was published and there were ugly rumors as to his financial con- dition floating about all last week. It was undoubtedly due to these rumors that Lawson consented to make a public state- ment of what damage he had sustained by the drop in Amalgamated, and while to-day he stands better with the copper speculating public, he has undoubtedly hurt himself with the big brokers in giv- ing away the Inside of the affair. The interview printed yesterday has served the purpose of making Lawson popular with the small speculators and to-day there were more people watching | the tape in his office than at any time last week. A. C. Burrage, one of the Amalgamated directors, is said Lawson’s greatest rival. A prominent Boston capitalist said to- day: “There cannot be two copper kings in Boston. Lawson openly states that certain Amalgamated directors parted with immense blocks of Amalgamated just previous to the dividend declaration. Lawson is not himself a director of the company, hence he could not have been knocking Thomas W. Lawson. But Al- bert C. Burrage, Lawson’'s greatest rival for the title of the Copper King of the Hub and Incidentally for the homnor of being the unrivaled dispenser of juvenile charity, 1s a diractor of the Amalgamated copper. If the strect is right in declaring the fight to be one to a finish between Lawson and. Burrage to see which shall be the greatest man in Bosion, there are some mighty interesting times ahead.” STATE CONVENTION OF STOCKRAISERS CALLED Tehama County Association Calls Meeting to Devise Plans to Check Epidemics.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14.—One of the largest and most important real estate transactions made in this city in years was _completed to-day when the Hunting- ton-Hellman syndicate secured a tract of twenty-eight acres of land situated be- tween Seventh and Eighth streets, Central avenue and Alamedg street. The purchase price is not given in the deed, which men- tions $10 as the consideration, but-real estate experts assert that the property could not be touched for less than §: 000, and it is their opinion that consids ably more than that sum was pald for it. "Mitchell Allen of Chicago is the seller. The property will be used as a site for shops for the Los Angeles Railway Com- any, the Pasadena and Santa Monica fines and all other traction routes owned or to be built by the syndicate, which contemplates the expenditure of more than a million dollars on the plant in the near future. The present shops will be remodeled and enlarged and converted into power plants for the various roads. The repair shops at Pasadena will be closed and all work done in this city, in- gluding the building of new cars. Both H. E.

VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct. 14.—The steamers Willapa and Maude, sent as re- liefs to the wrecked steamer Hating, ar- rived here from the scene of the disaster this afternodn. The Hating is still lying on an even keel on a rocky point of Jar- vis Island, about fifty miles from this city. Both vessels came down laden with passengers and baggage, not a per- son being left aboard the stranded vessel to-night. The total number of passen- g%rs on the Hating from Skagway was “As the vessel struck at about mid-tide, there was some apprehension in the mind of her master, Captain Joseph Gosse, that at dead low water she might slide from the natural cradle in which she at first rested, and so fall back into deep water. On_this account all of the passengers and crew were landed as darkness fell on Saturday night and campfires were built on the rocky shore and tents placed in position. Under these circumstances all the passengers awaited the falling of the tide, and it was not till 1:30 o’clock on Sunday morning that Captain Gosse al- lowed any person to go aboard the ves- sel. As many of the passengers had fal- len asleep in the big tents, before the grateful warmth of the fires, it was some time before all could be awakened and shown to their staterooms. Sunday was spent in exploring the island upon which the vessel was cast, and it was not till this morning at 4 o'clock that relief was brought by the steamer Maude, the Wil- lapa following shortly afterward. The Hating was less than 100 yards out of her course when she struck and was proceading at but half speed. She ran on he rocks about twenty feet and tore away her entire forefoot for that dis- tance. Water rushed into her forward bulkheads and even penetrated her for- ward hold, but in very small quantities. A diver is'now on the scene with wreck- ing apparatus and it is likely that the vessel will be floated by the latter part of the week. Cement casing will be pleced in her bulkheads and it is then ikely that she will be able to proceed to this city under her own steam. No'panic whatever occurred among the passengers when the vessel struck, but a Chinese pantry hand caused no smali amount of terror by appearing on deck armed with a knife, which he brandished furiously as he tore up and down, de- manding that he be given a place in one of the boats. The terror-stricken Chinese was forcibly quieted. Among_the passengers_were many re- turning Klondifiers from Dawson and gold to the amount of $300,000 was brought down. Every person aboard the Hating was loud in praise of the master of the vessel, who is well known in these waters as a skillful and careful nayigator. Sabine Channel, which the vessel was entering when she struck, is a passage about three-quarters of a mile wide at its marrowest point and it is customary for skippers to work through it in foggy weather by the direction of the echoes from the steamer’s whistle. Owing to the accident it is not likely that the Hating will make another trip till the spring. She may be sent to San Francisco for an overhanling. e Merchant Fails for Large Amount.

W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—“The Leg- islative History of the General Staff of the Army of the United States,” which was authorized by Congress to be printed, is the title of a valuable and interesting compilation made, under the direction of Major General Henry C. Corbin, by R. P. Thian, the chief clerk in the adju- tant general's office. It embraces all the resolves of the Continental Congress and the laws of the United States from 1775 to 1901, affecting the several staff departments and corps of the army, each chapter being headed by brief remarks relative to the establishment of the particular depart- ment of which it treats, and has a com- plete list of the several heads of that department from the earliest period to the present date. While the history is purely a military publication it cannot fail to interest the historical student, as it throws powerful sidelights on the difficulties under which the colonies labored when they- deter- mined on armed resistance to British op- pression, and the various means resorted to by the Continental Congress to arm, equip, clothe and feed the army; for in- stance the procuration of arms, the in- centives offered for their manufacture and that of gunpowder, the providing means of subsistence, clothing, etc. The want of proper quantities of clothing is foreibly shown by the fact that General Washing- ton was forced to offer his men an addi- tional ration for each: coat turned, and that the possibility of distributing’ two shirts per man was an occaslon deemed by him of sufficfent importance to be an: nounced in general orders; again, he of- fered a reward for the ingenuity of the troops in submitting the best rawhide substitute for shoes. The compilation appears to have been made with great care andesuod judgment and is exhaustively indexed. As a book of reference it is éntitled to a prominent place on the shelves of all military li- braries. HANDKERCHIEF HIDES ENIFE OF ASSAILANT Would-Be Slayer of a San Jose La- ‘borer Emulates the Methods of Czolgosz. SAN JOSE, Oct. 14.—Willlam Cornish, Frank McGlynn and Julian Castello have been arrested on suspicion of having taken part in the stabbing of John An- derson, the ranch_employe, in front of the Scandinavian Hotel last night. The wounded man will probably die. Anderson this afternoon partially identified Cor- nish and McGlynn as his assailants, but he was not quite certain. Two of the men were arrested about midnight and Cornish early this morn- ing. He was sleeping in a barn, and near by was a discarded suit of clothing. There were some blood stains on the trousers, and it is believed to be the suit he wore when he committed the crime. There were a blood-stained handkerchief and a miscellaneous assortment of jackknives in the pocket. Anderson's assailant had his knife covered with a handkerchief, in imitation of Anarchist Czolgosz's meth- ods when President McKinley was shot. The discovery of these articles near Cor- nish it is believed will convict him. Anderson. was stabbed without the slightest provocation on his part so far as can be learned.

Eoigean Publishes an Article Teach- ing the Doctrines of Anarchy. NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—Johann Most, the anarchist, was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary to-day in the Court of Special Sessions for publishing in his paper, the Freiheit, an alleged seditious article on the day following the shooting of the late President McKinley. The article in question was entitled “Murder Against Murder.” In his defense Herr Most claimed that the paper con- taining the article was printed and ready for distribution before the President was shot. Also that it was a quotation from an article published fifty years ago and republished by him. After imposing the sentence Justice Hinsdalé read the opin- fon of the court, in which he said: It is no answer to the evil and criminal nature of this article to claim that it was written for the purpose of destroying crowned heads. It inculcates and enforces the idea that murder is the proper remedy to be ap- plied against rulers. The fact that it was pub- lished fifty years ago and again republished about fifteen years ago only emphasizes and gives added point to the criminality of the re- publishing of it at any time. It shows de- Iiperate intent to inculcate and promulgate the doctrines of the article. This we hold to be a criminal act. It s not necessary fo trace any connection in this article with the as- sassination of the late President. The offensa here, in the eves of the law, is precisely the same as if the bloody event had never oe- curred. The murder of the President only serves to illustrate and illuminate the enormity of the crime of the defendant in feaching his dtabolical doctrine. DEPOSITORS WITHDRAW FROM A NEW YORK BANK Extra Paying’ Tellers Are Installed and All of the Demands Are Promptly Met. BUFFALO, Oct. 14—A run on the Fi- delity Trust Company, a State banking institution, began to-day. A long line of anxious depositors stood for hours wait- ing to withdraw their money. Extra pay- ing tellers were Installed and the windows were kept open until 4 o’clock. Prominent bankers and business men say that the rumor which caused the run is~ groundless and _that only small depositors are withdrawing their ac- counts. Several large deposits were made during the day by business housess and large sums of money were sent to the Fidelity Company’s offices by local banks. The Erie County Savings Bank voluntar- {ly turned over 3250.000 in cash to the Fi- delity Company. The Marine Bank also sent in $100,000. The money was accepted, but not as a loan. New York drafts were sent to the two institutions for the cash. At the close of business to-day President Foreman stated that the withdrawals ex- ceeded the deposits by only $50,000. The Fidelity Trust Company is not a member of the Clearing-house Associa- tion, but an official offer of assistance was made to President Foreman by the clearing-house to-day. President Fore- man declined to accept, saying the bank needed no assistance. iz - PR SENATOR FRYE FAVORS PROPOSED CANAL .TREATY Cannot Understand How Amy One Can Object to the One Now Being Negotiated. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Senator Frye, president pro tempore of the Senate, said to-day that he thinks Congress will take action on the Nicaragua canal during the next session. He says he cannot see how any Senator can object to the treaty with Great Britain now under negotiation. “I never belleved in any canal not neu- tral,”” he said. “The idea of fortifying such a highway is absurd and the priv- ilege to do so is of no \'alug. The right to close it in time of war t0 any nation seems equally absurd.” Referring to the attitude of the Senate on the reciprocity treaties he said he ex- pects some action, but he was not pre- pared to say of what character. Frye expects there will be considerable oppo- sition. The administration is determined to press the treaties and hopes to secure their ratification. The fight will be made on the French treaty. The Argentine treaty will be considered after the French treaty is disposed of. s SO CONGRESS TO DETERMINE PLANS FOR WARSHIPS Secretary Long Will Submit the De- signs Recommended by the Board of Construction. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—Congress will have to determine for itself the charac- teristics of the projected battleships. Con- sideration of the act directing him to pre- pare plans_for the proposed ships has convinced Secretary Long that Congress desired to make a choice of the plans. He [ will therefore transmit to that body the two designs recommended by the major- ity and minority of the board on con- struction and the compromise plan, which is practically that of the minority save that eight-inch guns are substituted for seven-inch guns, The board held a meet- ing to-day at which several designs were considered but no progress was made. The majority will not change the battery of four twelve-inch and twenty seven-inch gums it recommended, notwithstanding Admiral Dewey’s suggestion that sixteen eight-inch guns be substituted for the seven-inch guns. ———— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. THE HAIRBRUSH Breeds Dandruff, Which Causes Fall- ing Hair and Finally Baldness. Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany, Euro- pean authority on skin diseases, says that dandruff is as contagious as any other malevolent disease, and that one common source of the spread of dandruff is the use of the same hairbrush by different persons. The way to avoid catching dandruff or any other disease from an. other’s brush is to insist on the use of Newbro's Herpiclde. It not only kills the dandruff germ, but it is also an antiseptic that will prevent the catching of any dis. ease whatever through contagion of an- other’s brush. | | PAINE’'S CELERY COMPOUND. GOVERNOR YATES, Endorsement of Paine’s Celery Compourd Attracts the Attention of Medical Journals. Thousands of Such Cases. Mr. Storms’ Letter. A medical journal, says a writer in the Boston Traveler, has the names and ad- dresses and full histories of hundreds of cases of chronic and acute rheumatism that have been permanently cured by the wonderful remedy which has recently been attracting wide attention since Gov- ernor Yates of Illinois publicly endorsed it. Nothing else has ever been knmown to cure like obstinate cases. When all oth- ers have falled this marvelous remedy for blood and nerves has made sick peo- ple well. Paine’s celery compound corrects un- healthy nerve action and feeds the nerve centers with the elements needed to build them up again into healthy tissues. It cleanses the blood of every trace of poi- sonous humor and encourages a rapid growth of the red corpuscles upon which the vigor of the entire body depends. Its action is perfectly intelligible to every able physician. Diseases of the nervous system do not come without warning. Rheumatism, dys- pepsia, insomnia and diseases of the liver and kidneys are but loud cries for a prompt increase of nourishment for the brain and nerve centers. Paine’s celery compound feeds these vital parts, and it A WESTERN CATTLE KING. is upon its marvelous power of nourish- ing all the nerve tissues and purifying the blood that its remarkable cure de- pends. Weariness, lack of energy and despond- ency are more a matter of nerves and brain than of the muscles. At this season of the year, when thousands of ovet- working people are entering upon the drudgery that will have no cessation for nearly a year to come, many are already showing the symptoms that sooner or later result from hurry, care, anxiety and haste without the amount of rest and recreation that nature intended. Thousands of tired mothers, school teachers and too ambitious scholars will reveal the strain before the winter is over. It is high time for all to strike at the root of the trouble.
