A | chemical analysis of the contents will be | mage to determine the point. The point | s whether or mot knock-out drops had been given Craft before he was attacked with the cleaver. If traces of chioral were found in the stomach, the police a | rt this would show a plot to| rob th n. M Craft, wife of the| murdered man, said to-day that Craft carried quite 2 sum of money when he| left his home. Mamie Moore, alias May Turner, and | 1da Craven, the housekeeper at the Em- | pire, who were arrested as being possible | witnesses, were arraigned to-day and re- | manded to custody of the Coroner. REVOLUTIONISTS ESCAPE FROM TROOPS OF SULTAN | Bucceed in Forcing the Turkish Cor- | don, but Lose Many Men Killed and Wounded. NOPLE, Sept. 28.—Official telegrams received here say that 300 Bul- garian revolutionists who were surround- ed by Turkish troops at Vodena, in the vilayet of Balonica, and who succeeded in foreing the cordon after a sanguinary fight. lost 52 men killed and 112 men wounded. The Turks also suffered severe Josses. The pursuit of the Bulgarians continues. SR S SEVENTY EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS AT SALINA CRUZ Tidal Wave Follows the Temblors and Does Great Damage to Port Property. MEXICO CITY, Sept. 28,—Later reports from Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus of the Tehuantepec Railway regarding the earthquakes Tuesday confirm first re- ports There were seventy shocks that after- moon and in the meantime a furious gale and storm sprang up. At 10 o'clock at night the storm had increased to a severity never experienced within the memory of the oldest inhabit- ants. A buge tidal wave leaped forward from the sea lifting thirty and fifty ton blocks like cockle shells and sweeping the Litan Crane over into the sea. The wave invaded part of the town, destroy- ing some of its houses and it is thought that damage must also have been done to the completed portion of the port works. The loss will be balf a million dollars, PIRECos QiR 14 Successfully Fights Father’s Will. COLUMBUS, Ind., Sept. 25.—One year ago James H.

The case has just teen compromised by the sisters paying Harry $100,000 and the suit has been dis- missed. ——— Smokers Must Pay Enhanced Prices, LONDON, Sept. 20.—The new amalga- mation of British and American tobacco interests has been received with mixed feeling. Unbounded surprise is expressed at the defeat of the American attempt to capture the English market, and the proof that the so-called trusts system cannot flourish in a free-trade country like Eng- lané as it can in a protectionist country like the United States, but at the same time there is considerable lamentation at the fact that the consumer will have to pay enhanced prices. | i ment has made public a report of the | { disease by vessels was apparent, a tri L Daltes of ‘sale October 7 and 8, GHOLERR DYING OUT IN MANILR Officers of Government Prevent Spread of the Scourge. e Strict System of Quarantine Frotects Provinces in the Interior.

MOBILE, Ala., Sept. 25.—Mrs. Dic.inson was choked to death a niece, Miss Helen Robertson, was at- tacked at their home by an unknown man early to-day. The man climbed through a window into the room where Mrs. Dickinson, her 3- year-old son ‘Albert and her niece, Miss Robertson, were sleeping. After barricad- ing the door leading into a room where | Miss Robertson’s father was sleeping, he strangled Mrs. Dickinson into Insensibil- ity and clutched Miss Robertson by the throat, when she screamed, frightening | the intruder away.

ROME, Sept. 28.—The Pope to-day re- ceived the third French pilgrimage with- in a month. The reception lasted an | hour. The Pope was very much fatigued at its conclusion. During the ceremony it | was noticed that he repeatedly wiped | away the perspiration that was streaming | from his brow. | Dr. Lapponi, the Pope's physician, has | been lately insisting that the holding of receptions ought to be discontinued, as | they are exceedingly injurious to his il-| lustrious patient.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 28.—A life-size statue of Louis Kossuth was unveiled to- day in this city in the presence of 50,000 persons. The gtatue stands on a pedestal and is about twenty feet high. The figure was the work of Andrew Toth of De- breazin, Hungary. Addresses were made in English by Mayor Johnson, Senator Hanna, Congressman Burton and Govern- or Nash and in foreign tongues by emi- nent speakers. There was a street pa- rade in which 6000 members of allied Hun- garian societies participated. The statue is located on University Circle, facing the buildings of Wesleyan Reserve Univer- sity. SRS Railroad Raises the Wages. SAN JOSE, Sept. 28.—The San Jose and Banta Clara Electric Railway has given ite employes notice that on October 1st there will be a raise of wages to a flat rate of $1.75 per day. Overtime will be paid for at the rate of twenty-five cents per hour. This is the second time Man- ager Center has voluntarily raised the employes’ pay inside of a year. At present motormen and conductors on the Tenth- street line receive $1.50 per day, those on the main line $1.65 and the men on the Alum Rock road $1.75. Ten hours will con- stitute a day’s run and eight hours a night run. It is understood the First street system will also raise the wages of its employes. e Committee Is Opposed to a Strike. PARIS, Sept, 28.—A eorrespondent of the Temps at Comentary says that the na- tional committee, to which the National Congress of French Miners referred the question of the date of the general strike, is compBsed entirely of members opposed to a strike. The principle of a general strike for an eight-hour day was adopted by the Miners' Congress last night. 0ld Smoky Perishes in Fire. DULUTH, Minn, Sept. 2.—Among eighte horses destroyed in a barn that burned at Proctor Knott to-day was Smoky, formerly Buffalo Bill's favorite horse. He was a superb animal in his day and when he grew old Colonel Cody gave him to his sister, Helen Cody Wet- more, of this city. Frederick Remington’s masterplece is said to be a picture of Buffalo Bill mounted on Smoky. —_—— In Russet Brown October. Just the time to go East.

A o R e L Sla HEADS OF HIGH FINANCE IN EUROPE | WILL AID THE JEWS OF ROUMANIA ONDON, Sept. 29.—A dispatch from Brussels to the Daily Telegraph says an agree- ment probably will be reached between the heads of high finance in Europe to pre- vent the issue of Roumanian loans until the oppressive anti-Jewish legislation of that country has been modified. Such action would embarrass seriously the Roumanian Govern- ment in the redemption of a large amount of treasury bonds payable in 1904. There is published in London this morning an interview with the Roumanian Min- ister to Great Britain, M. Catargiz, in which the Minister denies that the Jews in Roumania are subjected to disabilities different from those imposed upon other foreigners there. says Jewish emigration is not due to persecution, but to severe agricultural depression. In an editorial article on the Roumanian Minister's remarks, the Daily News says if it were the case “there'would be occasion for a grave protest from other nations than the United States and Great Britain, but we are quite sure that the United States would not He FLAMES ROAR. THROU Continued From Page 1, Column 6: their homes, but as the fire bore down they forsook them for places of safety. In the burned blocks were many wind- mills and determined efforts were made to save the tanks and thelr precious con- tents, but one by one they fell and the water caused but a sputter in the en- croaching flames. BUILDINGS TORN DOWN. As darkness fell on the city the wind was still blowing ard heavy showers of sparks were carried” over the blocks as far south as Mormon Channel. It looked @as ir wne whoe south side of the eity was doomed. Excited citizens demanded that houses on the outskirts of the fire be blown up in order to arrest the flames. As it was, every building and fence that could be torn down was leveled to the ground. Providentially the wind began to die out and the engines went to work on the Church-street side. By 7:30 o’clock it was plain that the end was in sight. When this became evident the Chief of Police at once began swearing in officers to vatrol the district, as much property was in the streets. Looking north the sce of devastation was appalling. Nothing was left standing but the chimneys and a solitary brick house, and this was but a skeleton and at white heat. That the fire did not go en- tirely through to Sutter street on the east side was due to the fact that an alley gave the citizens and firemen a good fighting chance to heat back the fire. In some instances it was stopped within a few yards of houses that had been aban- doned by their . despairing occupants. While the scene was shifted to the south the fire burst out at the front of St. Mary’s Church, but the clergy and brothers, assisted by citizens, formed g bucket brigade and subdued the incipien blages. The fire is sald to have been started by a plumber who was hunting for a leak in a gas main in the pavilion. He was using a candle to find the leak. Thére was a large accumulation of gas in a portion of the structure, which had been partitioned off for the convenience of an exhibitor. The contact of the gas with the lighted |" candle caused an explosion and within a was ablaze. : Among- the exhibits were some.’ com- bustibles and in one comprising incuba- tors candles were left burning. In every case, however, caution and care had bee) taken to guard against fire. - No %‘«i prepared to offer anything but. spe: 1 tion as to the start. 'A rough estimate places the loss at $500,000, but it may be more. In the confusion existing it is im- possible to enumerate all the individual losses or make a detailed report of the property consumed. The fire puts an end to the fair. The present week was to be the big one at the pavillon. The loss to exhibitors proves particularly heavy, as in most in- stances there was no insurance. The pa- lion was bulit eighteen years ago at a cost of $40,000. The Stockton Driving Club is a heavy loser. . The fire tragedy was not without its e e FORTUNE SMILES ON A MINISTER Befriends Sick Stranger and Receives Block of Stock. | | Special Dispatch to The Call. OGDEN, Utah, Sept. 22—From the po- sition of rector of an Episcopal parish in a Western town to that of a millionaire, with all that the name implies,hhas been the fortune of the Rev. E. W. Maison of 622 Twenty-sixth street, Ogden, who un- til recently has been in charge of the Episcopal church here, resigned on ac- count of ill health brought on by parochial work. Rev. Mr. Maison owes his good fortune to the fact that he was kind to “the stranger within his gates.” About eighteen months ago a mining man, whose name is supressed, was taken 1ll at a hotel in this city. He was with- out relatives, and little being known of him he was not receiving. the care that the physicians declared Was necessary to save his life. Rev. Mr. Maison learned of the situation and caused the man to be removed to his house, where he and bis wife nursed the invalid back to per- fect health. During his stay at the Maison house the man had learned that'the minister was greatly interested in mining, and was In- vesting all his savings in Utah mines. ‘When he had recovered he caused to be placed in the name of Dr. Maison a large block of stock in the now famous Annie Laurie gold mine in southern Utab. This was done without the knowledge of Dr. Maison, and it was but a few days ago that he learned that he was a wealthy man. An immense strike of gold ore was re- cently made in the mine, and Eastern capitalists made an effort to purchase the property, offering several millions of dollars. Officers of the company laid the proposition before the stackholders, and a communication was sent to Dr. Mai- son, notifying him that his holdings were valued at $1,000,000. This was the first in- timation he had received of his good for- tune, and he declared to-day that he had not sufficiently recovered to decide what his future plans would be. Denounces Lord Milner. CAPE TOWN, Sept. 28.—Replylng to- day to a deputation' of merchants who complained of the inefficient freight serv- jce, Mr. Douglas, Minister of Railways, violently attacked Lord Milner, High Commissioner for the British in South Africa, as the cause of the inefficiency. He said that Lord Milner virtually pre- sented a pistol at his head and threaten- ed that unless the imperial demand for trucks to bring troops to the coast were complied with he (Lord Milner) would take measures to prevent goods entering the Transvaal through Cape Port., | babes to the hespital before discovering comedy. One woman on finding her home ablaze took her canary bird and cage and ran wildly to the police office. She saved nothing else. Mrs. Henry Armbrust saved a box of valuable papers and an old hat belonging to her husband, leaving her jewelry and other valuables to burn. Out in the center of Hunter street, near Church, a family had piled furniture and bedding and had left their two little babies sitting on the property. The youngsters found a jar of jam and smeared their faces with it. Some pas: ersby saw the babies, and thinking their faces were badiy burned, carried the their mistake. People drenched one an- other, sprawled in the mud and tore their garments. One youth saved two chickens from burning and ran with them through the streets. Prominent citizens worked side by side with the firemen. Secretary of State Charles F. Curry, a visitor to Stockton, was one of the most valiant of the ecitizen fire-fighters. It is impossible to get a complete list of the in- jured. The majority of those worst hurt were removed to the Receiving Hospital, where a_corps of physicians cared for them. - Others less seriously burned tied up their wounds and went on fighting the flames. Marje Marge, a little child, whose home was burned, is lost and her parents be- lieve she was burned to death. There is hardly a fireman in the department but what is more or less seriously injured. Many were overcome and fell from burn- ing buildings, to be rescued by their fel- low. fire-fighters and carried to places of safety. GREAT LOSS TO EXHIBITORS. The loss to the exhibitors in the pavilion is great. Harvey Bros., agents for the Kohler & Chase music house of San Fran- cisco, lost $6000 worth of pianos and other musieal instruments with no insurance. The art exhibit, which was the finest ever shown here, is a total loss, thousands of dollars’ worth of fine painting b\eing de- stroyed. The Stockton Chamber of Commerce, which had a splendid exhibit, is out near- ly $2000, with no insurance. The Union Iron Works of San Fran- cisco had on exhibition models of the bat- tleships Charleston and San Francisco. They were destroyed. There was $25,000 insurance. “Cary & Son, piano dealers, are out about $5000. Jackson & Earle, h $1000 in%’ves and G a like Io; rdware dealers, lost odell & Co. suffered The H. C. Shaw Company, $2000 worth of vehicles, fully insured. The Stockton Incubator Company and the Petaluma Incubator Company suffer- ed heavy losses. FriedWerger & Co. and Kaiser & Co. both lost large cut-glass exhibits. Sampson Iron Works lost an exhibit of gas engines. The Tesla Coal Company, whose bri- quette plant was recently destroyed by fire, lost a large pottery exhibit. Many of the San Francisco musicians N RAGES THROUGH FIRE Passengers From Caza- dero Have an Ex- citing Ride. ————— Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAUSALITO, Sept. 28.—The passengers on the train which left Cazadero this af- ternoon and arrived here about 8 o'clock to-night had an exciting experience in a blazing forest, and many of them were for a time fearful that they would never reach their destination. There have been a number of forest fires in the neighborhood of Duncan's Mills .and one of the most vigorous of these the train chanced to encounter. When about one mile north of the mills, Engineer Con Coughlin and\ Fireman Clark noticed that the trees on either side of the track were ablaze. The train was slowed down and Condue- tor John Shine was informed of the warm obstacle in front. After a brief discus- sion is was decided to make the run de- spite the ménacing flames. The engine then started at a good speed and broke right into the avenue of fire. The smoke was stifling and the heat al- most unbearable, but there was no stop- ping of the train on that account. In fact the train couldn’t very well stop after having entered the blazing area. After a thrilling run of one mile the trainmen and passengers were relieved by escape into the open. The engine and the seven cars were very much blistered by the intense heat. The train arrived here on time. Other trains have been stalled above Duncan’s Mills, TRA e Mexican Stabbed in a Quarrel, BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 28,—Two Mexi- cans got into an altercation Saturday night and it resulted in the tabhjng of Manuel Ortega by Manuel Marrufo. Or- tega is knqwn in’ Kern, where he has a family. Murrufo is a stranger. After wielding the knife he disappeared. Orte- ga was taken to the hospital with a bad cut in his side, just below the heart, and this evening is reported to have a bare chance of recovery. Body of Defaulter Found in River. VIENNA, Sept. 28.—The body of Ed- mund Jellinek, the defaulting official of the Vienna Laender (real estate mortgage tank), has been found in the Danube, at Allonworth, near Krems.

The Stockton Woolen Mills sustained a There are other heavy losses to exhib- itors, not yet reported. It will be difficult to more than approximate the loss to owners ‘of dwellings before to-morrow. Many people have been left homeless and | destitute. In most cases furniture was saved, but manyslost their furniture after getting it out of their houses, as it caught fire in the street. Among the heaviest losses to property- owners are three flats owned by Mrs. Hig- ginbotham, worth §15,000, well insured; George T. Marye Jr. of San Francisco lcst six dwellings, valued at $20,000; James Hoskins, dwelling, $000; A. Alberti, piano and music store, approximately $10,000; Hollis, photographer, stock and appara- tus, $1000, partly insured; Merrill & Mitch- er, cabinet makers, stock and plant and undelivered work, $5000. The Stockton Electric Light and Gas Company and the Sunset Telephone Company also sustain- ed heavy losses, difficult to estimate at this time. Linemen were put to work cutting wires shortly after the fire started, and as a consequence the telephone and pow- er systems are in a badly deranged con- dition to-night. It was found necessary to stop the street cars, and the thousands | of excursionists who came up from San Francisco to-day had to walk to the San- ta Fe depot. Shortly after the fire started word was sent to Sacramento for two fire engines. They were brought down by a special train in forty-five minutes for the fifty miles, but were not needed, as the fire was under control when they arrived. The fire department lost 800 feet of hose, a wagon and a horse. Besides those men- tioned, nearly forty homes were destroy- ed. It is not believed the pavilion will be | rebuilt. FIRE ON BUTTE RANCH. Ten Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Property Burned Near Willows. WILLOWS, Sept. 28.—The largest and most disastrous fire that ever occurred on a farm in this vicinity was the one this morning on the Butte ranch, owned by Eppinger & Company, situated about eighteen miles northwest of Willows. In some manner as vet unknown the im- mense barn situated on the place took fire and the flames spread with g;;;?; . In the building were over {:el:ddkoyt fine work mules. Before the ranchmen could release the mules twenty of the animals were burned to death. | The building was destroyed and the loss is estimated at $10,000. It is believed that the loss is partly covered by insurance. —_— Santa Cruz Residence Burned. SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 28.—H. Foster's residence was destroyed by fire this morn- ing.

SPOKANE, Sept. 28.—In a few days the original town of Delta, one of the oldest mining camps in the Coeur d’Alenes, will be no more. Every building on the town- site has to be torn down, burned or moved away. The townsite has been purchased by the Beaver Creek Gold Mining Com- pany, which will soon start to dredge that portion of the creek, and it has issued orders that every lot must be va- cated. ; The work of removing the town started yesterday. Some houses have already been burned. Nearly ail the buildings were of high value at the time of the boom back in the 50’s, but now most of them are worth but little. Some houses, however, have been erected recently, and these will likewise have to be moved. Thomas Shuster, of Sumpter, Oregon; who owns the large hotel, arrived in tract of land on Brown’s ranch some dis- tance east of the townsite and will erect a new hotel there. It is probable that other citizens will purchase lots in the same quarter. The land in this vicinity consists entirely of hills and valleys. All the land of the valleys has been secured as placer ground and this leaves little room for homes. The only real way out of the difficulty is to bulld on the hillside and here again difficulty is encountered, as nearly all of the hillsides have been located as quartz claims. For nearly twenty vears hundreds of people have been seeking gold and other precious minerals in this district, but this is the firs® case in the history of the wealthy Coeur d’Alenes as far as can be remembered where people have had to give up their homes thr"\’llh greed for the yellow metal. To Call Stockholders’ Meeting. DENVER, Sept. 28.—D. C. Beaman, sec- retary and general counsel of the Colo- rado Fuel and Iron Company, announces that a stockholders’ meeting will be called by the directors as soon as the Coloradn stock books are posted, which will be in about thirty days. This is considered by the Osgood people as effectively dispos- ing of the important question in the case now pending before Judge Caldwell in the United States Court in this eity. . —_— Chaplain of the Hibernians.

The storm of to-day caused an overflow at Catassaro, which washed away many houses and livestock. Communication is interrupted and the damage is serious. It is not knewn whether any deaths result- ed. At Messina two steamers were damaged by the storm.
