The entertainment which was given last right at Odd Fellows' Hall by the Retail Grocers’ Association proved a success. De- spite the threatening weather the hall wis crowded. The programme proved an en- tertaining one and the large audience was fully repaid for braving the elements. The | feature of the evening was the presenta- tion of a musical comedy farce, entitled ““Politics in a Grocery Store.” by the Co- | lumbia Minstrel Company. The farce was accompanied by an interesting musical | programme. The farce. with its many ludicrous and perplexing situations, excited great merri- | ment. All the characters were well up in their parts. The plot represented life in a grocery store, with all its possibilities for | mirth. There was the ‘“real nice clerk’ | with his glib tongue, the butter purveyor, | the mevitable messenger boy and a red- | headed drummer. All contributed their | portion of action to the farce in such a | | manner as best calculated to_excite the | risibles of the audience. . | The cast of characters was as follows: William Smooth. who runs the store, George | K.

Shearer, a local real estate dealer, was engaged In erecting a fence around a lot at that corner. The posts had al- ready been set when the railroad people notified Superintendent of Streets George Richardson that a_public highway was being obstructed. Richardson hurried to the scene and ordered the posts removed. r Stanley P. Morehead and a band of E arts arrived about this time and re- newed the demand. For a few minutes Shearer and his men stood their ground and refused to per- mit the posts to be disturbed. Threats were exchanged and shovels and crow- | bars were tightly grasped. Peacemakers, however, brought about a compromise, and one post that stood in the center of the entrance was removed by Mayor Morehead, who was watched by an ad- | miring crowd as he labored at his unu- sual task. The Jot in question has never been fenced, and has long been used as a driveway to the depot. For years the railroad company has been considering its purchase, but it could never come to an agreement with the owner regarding the price. To-night the fence was nearly com- pieted. People who drive to the depot are greatly inconvenienced and the area of the depot yard is diminished. Daring Work of Robbers. HELENA, Mont., Oct. 25.—A lone, un- masked highwayman shortly after 6 o'clock this evening went into a Main- street salcon, held up the barkeeper and six other men at the point of a revolver. He then rifled the till of $30, and, securing the money and other articles of value in the possession of the visitors in the place backed out,of the door and made his escape, having met with no resistance during the hold-up. Early this morning a safe in a mercantile house in the same vicinity was blown,open and $200 taken.

BRAKES FAIL TO HOLD ON ROCK-LADEN SKIP One Man Killed and Another Seri- ously Injured in an Angels Camp Mine. NGELS CAMP, Oct. 25.—An accident urred in the Lightner mine here this o afternoon which caused the death of one | miner and seriously injured another. A skip loaded with two tons of rock was taken to the top of the hoist and stopped before being dumped. The brakes re- fused to hold tne load and the skip started back down the shaft. The engi- neer tried to clutch the engine to the other skip, but failed. The engine was then reversed, but it was too late to stop the skip, which shot down the shaft 70) feet to the bottom, where Martin Bgloa and John Martincich were at work muck- Bglon was killed and Martincich's right leg was broken and he was severely injured otherwise. The skip tore out three sets of timbers, which were piled upon Bglon.

The engineer was almost suffocated by | the smoke caused by the friction of the engines running reversed, but stayed at his post trying to stop the skip. Bglon was about 50 years old, inmar- ried and a nativé of Austria. His body was not recovered until a late hour tc- night.

E ENE, Or., Oct. 25.—There are na arrests yet ‘of the robbers who held up the Southern Pacific Express train near ‘Walker’s station on Wednesday morning. The officers are working up evidence and hope to have thc men behind the bars in a short time. Yesterday they were strongly of the opinion that only one man was Implicated in the affair, but now they are almost certain that there were ac least two. Several suspects are under surveillance, but it seems that the one who is believed to be the leader of the gang has eluded the purstiers. The general opinion pre- vails that both of the robbers are in this city and that there is no possibility of their making their escape. —— TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF GAS IN A MINE WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 25.—A terri- ble-explosion of gas occurred in the But- tonwood mine of the Parish Coal Com- pany, situated a mile south of this city, to-day, which caused the death of five mf,‘ndund the injury of nine others.

This Country Still ths Chief Producer of Gold and Silver. ————— | WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—Director Rob- | erts of the Mint has prepared a statement showing the production of the precious | metals for the calendar: year of 1900. It | shows that the production of gold in the | world that year was 12,457,287 ounces, of the value of $257.514,700, a loss in value of $49,070,200 fr 1899. The loss was mainly in the Transvaal field and due to the war. The production of South Africa in 1589 was | of the value of $73,277,100 and in 190 $9,671,- 000. The principal gains were $8,118,000 in the United States and $6,600,000 in Canada. | | The United States again heads the list. In | | the United States the principal’ gains were | | by Alaska, Arizona, Colorado and Utah. | The silver output of the world amounted ; to 178,796,798 fine ounces, the largest ever i known. It exceeds the product of 189 by 11,572,513 ounces. The United States again leads all ®ther producers, with a slight ex- cess over Mexico. There was an import- | ant advance in the price of silver during the year, the price ranging from 59.1 cents | pér ounce in January to 66.3 cents in the | last month of the year. The chlef factor in the rise was the purchases for the ac- count of the Government of Indfa. Silver rupees still constitute the common cur-| rency of India and to supply the demand | the Government gives rupees in exchange | | for gold sovereigns at the rate of fifteen | | rupees to the sovereign. Under this policy " the Government reports an outlay for its | fiscal year ended March 31, 1901. of £6,133,- | 000, which, at the average value of the vear, would make the purchases amount to nearly 30,000,000 would | seem to restore Indfa to somewhere near | her old position as a customer for silver.

Intense feeling | | exists among the troops in Samar. If | | they can meet the enemy in the open | there will be great retaliation. Many of | them have seen and the others have heard of the barbarous treatment to which the dead American soldiers were subjected by the Filipinos recently. Francis de Jesus, Lukban's chief com- mmissary, was recently captured and taken to Cebu. Papers which he had in his | possession have resulted in the arrest of ! many of the best-known residents and | civil officials of the Island of Leyte. It develops that Biliran Island, nortk of the Island of Leyte, has been a hotbed of insurrecticn. Every civil official there | has been aiding the insurgents of Samar | in every way. They have landed several cargoes of rice and have recelved hemp in_exchange. Several thousand dollars also fell into the hands of the Americans when De Jesus was made prisoner. His capture is thought to be a great disaster to the revolutionary cause. General Sumner reports a fight which took place at daybreak Wednesday. at Taysan, province of Batangas, between Companies D and I of the First Cavalry and a band of insurgents. The insurgents were driven into the mountains. The cavalrymen destroyed the insurgent bar- racks, storehouse, eight thousand pounds of rice and many. uniforms and blankets. The insurgents yesterday attacked San Jose, province of Batangas, which was garrisoned by a detachment of the Twen- ty-first Infantry, under Lieutenant Pat- rick A. Connelly. The Americans fought hard, but were unable to prevent the burning of the town.

The law of England does not recognize i divorces of Engl citizens obtained in foreign countries, so the Earl, protesting that his violation of the law was inad- | vertant, still pleaded guiity before the Court of the House of Lords that con- vened to try him. He expected the court would consider him only technically guil- ¢ and would pronounce a merely nominal entence—one hour's imprisonment, or | something of that sort. There were, however, some circum- stances connected with the Nevada di- vorce—a question as to his deception of the court as to the residence at which the “ountess might be served with a notice of the suit—that made his conduct appear |in a less innocent light than he would | have had it, and the Lords made the pen- ‘alty a very real one. %or INTEREST TO PEOPLE | OF THE PACIFIC COAST | Changes Made in the Postal Service | ! and More New Pensions | Issued.

GEORGETOWN, Ky., Oct. 25,—The end of the Caleb Powers trial now seems to be in sight. The defense offered no testi- mony in rebuttal. This morning the jury was taken to Frankfort to.view the scene of the murder. The jury was accomps- | | nied by Caleb Powers and two of his | | counsel, John F. Douglas, Judge Cantrill, | Commonwealth’'s Attorney Franklin and | Hendrick, Williams and Golden, repre- ffi"“"g the State, and four Deputy Sher- iffs. p. m. Judge Cantrill instructed that the acts and declarations of | every conspirator indicted with Powers were the acts and declarations of Powers, and that if the bringing of the mountain army to Frankfort was due to Powers and if that act resulted in Goebel's death, the prisoner should be found guilty. If the jury believed Goebel's death resulted | from a conspiracy, even though the orig- inal intention of the conspirators was not to kil Goebel and the defendant was ab. sent when the shooting occurred, the de- tendant should be found gufity. The instructions were strongly for con- viction. The arguments began at 2:15 p. m., with four hours allowed to each side. The case will go to the jury about noon te-morrow. CHOOSES A GUARDIAN IN ORDER TO MARRY SAN RAFAEL, Oct. 25.—There will b2 a marriage in this city next Sunday. This is owing to the persistence of the princi- pals to-day. Joseph L. O’Connor and pretty Juanita Bailley have long been engaged. Miss Bailley is only 17 years | old and an orphan. These are the two facts that caused the trouble. When they applied for a marriage license they were retused because the young lady was under age and the consent of her parents or guardian would first ‘have to be obtained. The services of Attorney E. B. Martinelli were enlisted and this after- noon Mrs. Joseph Donnolly, a friend of the young persons, applied for and was granted letters of guardianship by Judge ‘Angellotti. Mrs. Donnolly then gave her consent and Clerk Graham issued 'the license. ———————— J. E. Barry Club Meets., The J. E.

Delay of French Canal Com- pany Annoys the Gov- ernment. —ie Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET. N. W.. WASHINGTON, Oct. In order to facilitate American control of the Pana- ma canal despite the procrastinatins methods pursued by M. Hutin, represent- ing the French Canal Company, Colombix has proposed to the United States that it assume her place in all matters relating to the waterway. This proposal has not been accepted by the administration, nur can it be on account of the inability of the executive to pledge the Government to the adoption of one route or another in advance of action by Congress. At the same time Colombia’s attitude has satisfied the authorities that so far as she is concerned she would be glad if some definite arrangement can be made | under which the United States would ac- quire possession of the Panama conces- sion. It Is stated that the company has not more than $2,000,000 with which to con- tinue the work of construction of the canal, and that it will be unable to ob- tain an addiilonal sum. The concession of the company will expire in six years and then the United States could assume possession. Hutin and Boeufve have not yet sub- mitted a proposal to the Isthmian Canal Commission notwithstanding _assertions to the contrary. As Hutin went to Pa for the special purpose of getting an esti- mate of the value of the work, it is be- lieved that he has brought back a memo- randum. He has not presented it to the Isthmian Canal Commission and has given no indication of his purpose to do E 0. F Rear Admiral Walker is becoming pro- voked over the delay. The commission proposed to submit its report to the Pre dent between November 12 and Novem- ber 15. If Hutin has not submitted his proposal then the commission will simpiy have to repeat its recommendation for the construction of the Nicaragua canal as it did in its preliminary report. It is believed by members of the com- mission that Hutin fears that the price he believes the property worth is so large that this Government will not pay it and that consequently there will be no chance of a purchase at a high figure.
