He took Jjust one day’s provisions with him. When he did not return Saturday evening his friends became anxious. On Sunday they were more so and on Monday it was resolved to send out a earching party to look for him. The party had been out only a few hours yesterday morning when a part of the old man’s outfit was discovered near the mouth of an old shaft. The search- ers were thus prompted to look into the shaft, where the body was found. Randel had probably been dead for | several days. The supposition is that he fell Into the shaft at night. The dead man was an uncle of Edward Bush, a Hanford oil magnate. e ) THIVTEEN FIND DENTH IN MINE Fatal Gas Explosion Oc- curs in Arkansas Coal Pit. ——— ‘ FORT SMITH, Ark., Nov. 24.—Thir- teen miners were killed and great dam- age was done by an accidental explo- sion of gas to-day in coal mine Np. 20 | at Bonanza, Ark., twenty miles fi'oml this city. At nightfall only six of the | victims had been recovered. The explosion occurred at 1 o’clock this afternoon: There were about 175 men in the various shafts at the time. | i teen. The force of the explosion was walls of the passages for several hun- dred yards.

He was told that his steamer | had been taken for one of the Domin- | ican gunboats. —_————— ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN BY | MADAME FABBRI MUELLER | Bright English Farce and Clever Ger- man Comedy Delight a Large Audience. Madame Fabbri Mueller gave her third subscription theatrical perform- ance in English and German last night at Golden Gate Hall. So popular have Madame Mueller's entertainments be- come in the city that neither fog nor rain can dampen the enthusiasm of her many friends. The audience was highly delighted with the programme and among the very successful exponents of comedy | art was Miss Elsa Tolon, who was be- Marie in a pretty sketch with the at- mosphere of the Franco-German war. Miss Tolon, as the French girl, sang and danced and merrily flirted with the German ' soldier, Frederich Wilhelm Schulze, a part most capably played by F. Rembach. “Chums,” the one-act farce, and the German comedy, “Das Schwerdt des Damokles,” were admirably presented.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 24.—Investiga- tion to-day by the authorities of the story told by the captain of the Ger- man ship Octavia, which arrived yes- terday, to the effect that three mem- bers of her crew had been poisoned by truth. He still asserts that he believes that the sailmaker was responsible for the death of the three seamen who were buried at sea three weeks ago, but when asked for his evidence, he could produce none. Inquiry among members of the crew showed that the poisoning of three sailors and the first officer was an aceidental result of a drunken ca- rousal, in which many members of the crew participated. The part that the sailmaker had in it was that he discov- ered where the men could obtain whis- ky and piloted a number of them into the hold. They became intoxicated and while in that condition three of them got into a portion of the cargo contain- ing carbolic acid and, mistaking it for whigky, they swallowed the poison and died. The first officer took only a small portion of the acid, not sufficient to kill him, but still sufficient to make him a very sick man, and he is still far from well. The Federal authorities here arec now satisfiled that the only punishment which can be meted out to the sail- maker is such as may be imposed for breaking into the cargo and violating orders. \ —_———————— of ‘attracting any particular attention to himself.

Every | man from the senior messenger to the stablemen has entered a combination in making the demand, which is to be pushed forward by the International Union of Railway Expressmen. Jan- uary 1 next is the date fixed for the | demand to go into effect. There is no change in the position of the paperbox makers, who are out on | strike, and there seems little likelihood of the employers acceding to the de- mands made upon them. The contemplated consolidation of all the laundries of the city has caused a good deal of uneasiness in the Laundry ‘Wagon Drivers' Union. The drivers feel that there is likely to be trouble from the consolidation should there be a strike or any difference of opinion be- tween themselves and any one of the many laundries. The condition in the affairs of the locked-out = cloakmakers has not changed and from the present outlook there does not seem to be the slightest chance of the employers acceding to the demands of their late employes. The employers consider that it is un- fair that their help should elect to de- sert them on a Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock, an hour they submit when many customers come to their stores to have their garments fitted. The employers claim that it wouid be im- possible to have alterations made for purchasing customers if all the girls leave work Saturday arternocns at the time specified in the demards. It is said that the firms affected have com- bined with the object of resisting the demand. In compliance with the order of the District Council of Painters a' vote will be taken next Monday evening by the unions affected by the propssed raise of wages in which the varnisiers, poi- ishers, paint burners and fresco paint- ers are concerned. Butchers’ Union No. 115 announces that all meat markets will be closed Thanksgiving day. The union has do- nated $100 to the striking slaughterers ‘of Los Angeles and $50 has been do- nated to the sausage makers of Chi- cago. A. F.

The tour was made in a private car that was drawn over the whole length of the line, which included stops at Berkeley and Berryman statioms. At Berkeley station the officials alighted and looked over th® ground. A train of the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose Railway was standing at the sta- tion and in this Manager Kruttschnitt was very much interested. Superin- tendent Palmer explained the economy of the new system to him, pointing out its superiority in the way of appoint- ments and the equipment for making fast time. MAY ABOLISH GATES. Of course, it was too early for Man~ ager Kruttschnitt to say anything as | to the methods the Southern Pacific | will pursue to meet the competition and he refused to commit himseif when | asked his opinion on the subject. It may be taken for granted, however, ! that the company will formulate some | plan for saving itself from the inroads | of the new system. It is understood that the old com- pany has already begun to figure on the means for reducing the time be- tween the east and the west sides of | the bay. Among the principal innova- | tions will be a new method to overcome | the time lost on the punching of tickets at the mole and the handling of freight on the boats. The present ticket gates will probably be abolished, so that pas- sengers may be transferred from the trains to the boats without having to punch tickets at all, an antiquated method that now consumes much valu- able time. The freight will be diverted entirely from the passenger boats and sent across the bay on separate boats, thus effecting another saving in time. It is believed that at least ten minutes in time will be saved by these means. MORE FLYERS PROMISED. As to Berkeley, where the competi- tion with the new system is ke A the comparny will attempt to further reduce the time by putting on mors more morning and evening flyers. It Is | possible that twelve' minutes will be Tcut off the presemt schedulé by these trains and the time-saving devices af the mole, thus reducing the time of the trip to within five minutes of the new system’s schedule. New cars, opening i on the side instead of at the end, like those in use on some Eastern roads, may be purchased and used exclusively for ferry traffic. ripies il CHARGES SISTER WITH | DECEIVING THE COURT | Lillie 0’Connor Says Amelia McDon- ald Obtained Her Father's Estate by Practice of Fraud. In a complaint to set aside a decree of distribution in the estate of Conrad Emmel, filed yesterday by Mrs. Lillie O'Connor (nee Emmel), she makes serlous charges against her sister, Amelia McDonald, administratrix of the estate. Mrs. O'Connor accuses her ster of deceiving the court and by representing that she was the sole heir of Emmel, securing distribution to her of his entire estate, which consisted of a lot with improvements on Clara street, near Fifth. According to the complaint Emmel died intestate November 1, 1900. The following day Mrs. McDonald, under | the name of Burke, applied for and se- cured letters of administration upon his estate. In the following February, representing that she was the only heir, she asked that the estate be distributed to her and her petition was granted. Mrs. O'Connor says she Was not noti- i fled of the proceedings and therefors could not take any steps to prevent the alieged fraud upon the court. She says that since her sister secured possession of the property she has collected rents | amounting to’$704, and she asks for | judgment for half of that sum and to be declared an owner of a one-half in- | terest in the realty. { —— e | CALTFORNIA CLUB HOLDS | BIG DEBATING MEETING | I bed Can on the face with a pocket|family.
