Sumter Valley. Railroad last week. He is accused of breaking the lock and turning the switch so that a freight train was thrown from the track. The train was running slow at the time and the damage was not very serious, al- though the engineer was badly bruised. Had the passenger train struck the open switch there would have been a great d aster. The railroad people have been an- noyed for some time by boys who have tampered with the track and cars. The officials tried in every way to stop the malicious mischief but without avail. The possible geriousness of this last es- capade has induced them {0 resort to the law, hence the arrest of young Carnes. VERIFIES ESTIMATE OF SCHOOL FUND SURPLUS Stato Superintendent Corroborates Auditor Baehr’s Statement That It ‘Would Exceed $110,000. Auditor Baehr recelved yesterday from Thomas J. Kirk, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, a statement of the amount of State school money in the State treasury at this date and its ap- portionment to the several counties. The statement is interesting from the fact that it bears out Baehr's estimate of a surplus of more than $110,000 in the school fuond of San Francisco, notwithstanding that the Board of Education vigorously aenied that such was the case: In preparing last year's budget it was estimated that the State apportionment would be $675,000, whereas it is now de- termined to be $789,682 53, or an increase of $114,681 53, which represents the sur- plus to the credit of the school fund:ut the end of the fiscal year 1901-1902. The securities held in trust by the State Treasurer for the support of common schools in the State consists of Slate bonds aggregating $1,726,500, together with bonds of various counties amounting to $1,598,700, a total of $3,325,200. The money belonging to the State school fund sub- Jject to apportionment is $1,138,571 80. —_—— OREGON AUTHORITIES REFUSE TO SETTLE Insist That E. C. Cooke Shall Be Re- turned on the Charge of Fraud. E: C.

FARRELL musumeis suaro DISISTER LS ILL BUT TWE Details Arrive of De- struction of Chinese Cruiser. VICTORIA, B. C., July 15.—Details are given in the Chinese papers received to- day by the steamer Empress of China of the blowing up of the Chinese cruiser Kaichi, which was lying at Hsiakuan and used as a training ship. The first report placed the loss of life at 250, but the more reliable papers say it will not exceed 140. At the time of the explosion, Captain Lee and several of the officers were ashore, four officers having been left in charge of the cruiser. Before leaving his vessel, Captain Lee gave instructions to fire a salute for the | Japanese cruiser Atago, which was about due. The Japanese vessel had just dropped ! her anchors when the Chinese cruiser | went up like a bomb and sank out of sight even before the debrls, which had been hurled at least a hundred feet in the air, came- down. The mangled bodies of the victims were mixed with the iron, steel and wood work of the doomed cruiser and of all on board only two came out allve, The general be- et is that a light was carried into the magazine when the men went to get the shells to fire the salute. The explosion was felt severely on board the United States ship Helena the Japan- ese crulser and on the vessels in that por- tion of the river, while on land the shock was felt for four and five miles, and one vessel seven miles away on the river felt it. — Dr. R.

Question of the Right to the 4 Mayoralty Promises Strife. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, July 15—The preliminary steps to a contest over the offices of Mayor, City Clerk, Councilmen at Larg> and Councilman from the Fourth Ward were taken to-day when notice was served upon the Incumbents that Attorney General Ford would be asked | for.leave to bring suit to oust them from office. These notices were presented to| Mayor Worswick, City Clerk Belloli, Coun- | cllman at Large Mathews and Council-| man Al Hubbard from the Fourth Ward. | The seat of Councilman Fatrick Murphy | frem the First Ward will not be contested, as ex-Councilman Macaulay has refused to join his. agsociates in the move. The complaints have been prepared by Attorney E. E, Cothran, who represents | 0., Cai. ex-Mayor Martin, ex-Clerk Cottle and J. D: Miner and W. G. Rogers, the ex-Coun- | cilmen. The main point raised is that of registration, which is declared to have| been illegal. - It recites that at the elec-| tion held on May 19, 1902, there were 4692 | votes cast, and out of this number 2857 | votes were upon a register made during 1900 and be(o?g January 1, 1902; also that 124 votes were cast that were upon a reg- ister made after April 8, 1902, making 2951 votes cast upon registration’ contrary to of the city of San Jose. It is alleged that nearly two-thirds of | the vote cast at the election is illegal, and that it is so scattered among the twenty precincts of the city as to make | it impossible to segregate the small mi- nority of the apparently legal vote cast in the varioys precincts. A point raised in connection with the City Clerk contest is that the registration | should have been made by the City Clerk instead of the County Clerk, and again the Councilmen raise the question that the office of Councilman does not expire until the year 13, as in one place the charter so provides. The main contention is that the genera! law governing registration was violated by using old registers, as the law pro- vides that on the even numbered years the great registers shall be canceled and registration open on the 1st day of Jan- uary and continue until forty days before | the election in any city or county. In| the case of the present election the con- | testants hold that the registration shouid | have closed on April 8 City -Attorney | Partridge so held, but District Attorney Cam‘aben ruled ‘that the registration should be kept open until the 23d of April, which was done. The charge of general | misconduct of election officers in all ths | precincts of the city is also made. BRISK FIGHT AT HANFORD. Question of Indorsements Causes Clash in the Convention. HANFORD, July 15.—The Republican Convention of Kings County opened in Hanford this morning and a county ticket was nominated. The only fight of the day was over the indorsement of Senator Perkins and the special recommendation of Congressman Needham. Majority and | minority reports were presented by the committee on platform and resolutions. e majority ~report indorsed Senator Perkins and Congressman Needham. but made no speclal recommendation. The minority report especially indorsed these two men and instructed the Assemblyman from this district to vote for Perkins for Senator. This resulted in a hot fight on the floor and the nomination Assemblyman, Myers, made a speech refusing to be instructed for Perkins. He stated that he would not accept the nomination under these condi- tions. The anti-Perkins men won and the Assemblyman will go unpledged. The special recommendation of Needham in the majority report was also knocked out. Otherwise the Republican State adminis- tration was indorsed. The following ticket was nominated: Sheriff, W. V. Buckner; County Clerk, S. S. Mullen; Recorder, Clark Applegarth;: Tax Collector, Peter Van Valer; Auditor, 8. M. Rosenberger; District Attorney, H. 8. Jacobs; Assessor, G. W.

They were corroborated by & man named Joseph Egan, who claimed to_have witnessed the entire occurrence. Judge Mogan seét the case over until next Friday In order to secure further evidence. JOHN J. FULTON CO. Sanitarioms Contemplated. Bright's Disease and Diabztes Positively Curable. Mr. Louis Miles of 431 Montgomery street, whose letter relative to his recovering from Bright's Disease was in the dally press of last week, was last Friday in receipt of a letter from a lady whose husband has Bright's Dis- ease. He permits us to extract the following: ““As my husband is very ill with this dread disease, I desire to ask you if it is really true. or is it only a newspaper advertisement. I fear it s too good to be true.” Mr. Miles' reply was: “It is true. I am not only recovering, but have friends who have taken it and recovered, and I have no hesitancy in saying that if any case of Bright's Disease or Diabetes has stxty to ninety days of life, and will take the appro- priate Fulton Compound, and strictly observe the dlet and directions, that & recovery awaits.” ‘We present the above to show how difficult it is to present. real specifics for Bright's Dis- ease and Diabetes after unscrupulous ad writ- ers have for years made untruthful claims. Un- fortunately we are compelled to use the same English, but we have relied upon a multiplicity of direct statements to convince those who have been deceived that there is at last a cure. And to further lift these genuine specifics out of the fleld of patent nostrums thgt never did, and never can, cure a genuine case of chronic Bright's Disease and Diabetes, we will prob- ably establish sanitariums in large citles, where physicians can send their patients where, with strict“diet and intelligent methods, the recov- erfes In these hitherto incurable cases will Compaund: or satisfacto with ordinary home use of these ST per cent of recoveries, E We Invite correspondence Eas Y Wwere not the | ern patients, particularly those' who contem- peacefully taking a | plate Coast sanitartums. by the-complaining | Pit '8 : sa can be of old-school physicians, who patfents recover and know the Com- In fact. physicians themsel
