It would be well if the ladies of every house were provided with means of defense against tramps, who in most cases are low and desperate characters, capable of any outrage. Our advice to all those whose homes are distant from neighbors is to keep a shot gun handy for self-protection. CHRIS EVANS ESCAPES. Fresno, Dec. 28.—An empty cell at the county jail; a bullet in City Marshal Morgan's shoulder; another man slightly wounded; the city wild with excitement and Chris Evans, the notorious train robber and murderer, once more at liberty, with posses of officers and citizens scouring the country for miles around in search of the fugitive—such is the evening's record of events in this city. Not since the McWhirter murder has anything occurred here that has so profoundly stirred up the people as Chris Evans escape from the county bastle, where he was awaiting sentence to State's prison for life, for the murder of Vio Wilson, with a dozen other untried charges pending against him, conviction of any one of which would have deprived him of his liberty for the rest of his days, if justice had miscarried at his trial for the first crime in his bloody category. It was 6:10 o'clock this evening when Evans made his escape from the county jail. Deputy Sheriff Ben Scott was on duty, the regular night jailer, Ben Merritt, being absent. Scott went on at 5 o'clock and found everything all right. About 5:30 Mrs. Evans who had arrived in the morning from Visalia, came to the jail to see her husband. She went to the upper corridor where Evans was confined and they talked together for a time. Shortly after 6 o'clock a man came to the jail door with supper for Evans. Scott admitted him and let Evans out of the tanks into the open space between the upper corridor and the jail office. Scott locked the waiver in with Evans and wife, after which he left them. Evans ate for a while, when the waiver, whose name is Ed Morel, asked to be let out, as he wanted to leave. "I want up to the grated door," said Scott, "and unlocked it. I had no sooner done so than Morel pulled a six shooter on me and ordered me to throw up my hands. I supposed he was joking, and did not obey. Just then Chris Evans stepped up and said: 'That's right, Ben, put your hands up.'" I saw they meant business then and did takers at the grounds had difficulty miting every person promptly. Thusiasm was displayed, and there indication that the fair had opened mally under the most favorable Hundreds of flags and standards, ing the various nations of the world from all the buildings on the ground it were eager to see everything to be seen, and crowds remain grounds all day. Most of the concessionaries were business, and lead-lunged fellow of the charms of the Turkish dancer Barbara sealsions, trained animals trach farm, the '49 camp, the India and other attractions. But the ferred to stay out of doors, and the buildings, and the business d.concessionaries was no heavy railway carried a good many people. The total paid admissions to this since they were enclosed number nineteen thousand, nearly half number were there to-day. HAZARDOUS EXPLOITIONS. SAILOR. A sailor created a sensation Midwinter Fair inclosure at G Park one morning last week. During full hour in the work of putting spokes of the Firth wheel he was clambling up in the mass of tearing back the base of the superstructure was at first supposed to be a work no special attention was paid him however, he clambered out on a lower spoke, and the Superintendent construction, catching sight of him what he wanted up there. The maiden made no response but no assent working his way inside orphy with catlike agility. The tendents ordered him down. The awker got was an invitation and fetch him. He kept on client where the periphery has not been had to slide down the big spoon reached the channel irons. The thase to the next spoke he worked out and proceeded as before. By this time quite a crowd had watched the progress of the day 120 feet from the ground. He was warned to look out for himself. SCANDALOUS PRATT CASE. The trial of the sensational contest over the guardianship of the person and estate of Mrs. Annie A. Pratt, which has been on trial in Los Angeles for some days past, resolved itself into a battle royal between counsel at its close last week, and attracted a large crowd of spectators. During the examination Mrs. Mansfield, wife of Gen. John Mansfield, a prominent Los Angeles lawyer, was asked what she knew, if anything, concerning a statement alleged to have been made in her presence by her sister, Mrs. Pratt, to her daughter, Mrs. Goodspeed, about the birth to the latter of an illegitimate child. Quite a wrangle occurred over the introduction of this testimony, Judge Clark finally stating that Mrs. Goodspeed's probable seduction would not enter largely into the merits of the case. The witness was also asked about and related an angry conversation which occurred at the ranch in Chico between Mrs. Mansfield and Mrs. Goodspeed, in the course of which the former accused Mrs. Goodspeed of having had an illegitimate child whose father was a negro minstrel, and that Mrs. Pratt verified the charge when appealed to for protection by Mrs. Goodspeed, by storting: "Well, you brought it all on yourself." An affidavit sworn to by John Mansfield was read, to the effect that Mrs. Goodspeed had stated on direct examination that the vapeon which she and the minstrel had taken passage was a steamer; that two-stater rooms had been engaged and that Abeco, the minstrel, was a single man; that on cross examination it was disclosed that they sailed divided 1% interest in 535.17 acres in Secs. 21 and 22, T4, R11; $1.

An affidavit sworn to by John Mansfield was read, to the effect that Mrs. Goodpeed had stated on direct examination that the vessel upon which she and the minstrel had taken passage was a steamer; that two state rooms had been engaged and that Abeco, the minstrel, was a single man; that on cross examination it was disclosed that they sailed on a sailing vessel. That on December 25th the affiant had received a letter from the captain of the brig upon which they sloped to the effect that he had read an account of Mrs. Goodpeed's testimony in the San Francisco papers and had been greatly surprised threaten, since they came on board the vessel as man and wife and occupied one stateroom together until Luco Pratt was taken off. He asked to be allowed to come and give his testimony in person. Mansfield further swore that it was notorious that Abeco was married and had a wife and children in San Francisco at that time. EXCITING ADVENTURE WITH A TRAMP. Orange News. On Saturday morning a lady living in the south part of town had an exciting experience with a couple of tramps. While engaged with her household duties, and alone, she heard a noise at the front door, and on going to ascertain the cause found a burly tramp seeking entrance. He asked for breakfast, and the lady told him to go to the back door and she would give him some bread and butter and coffee. She then fastened the front door, and on going to the back door, which is covered by a screen porch, found two tramps in waiting at the porch door. Fortunately the door was fastened on the inside. The trump first encountered at the front door became exacting in his demands. Having probably seen the butcher deliver meat at the house a short time before, he said, "You have beefsteak in the house, and we want it and are going to get it." This raised the lady's fire and she resolved that the tramps should have nothing there that morning, so she quickly stepped into the bedroom and bringing out a double-barreled shot gun, slipped two cartridges into it before them, cocked it and presenting it at the face of the aggressive trump, not over five feet distant, said, "Now if you want that beefsteak you must some and take it." The trump placed his shoulder to the porch door to force it in and the lady warned him that if the door gave the least particle the trigger would be pulled and a charge of shot would enter his body. He then made a motion as if to draw a pistol, when she cautioned him that before his hand could be raised he would be a dead man. "Well you are a plucky woman," he exclaimed, and the other trump, who had been a quiet spectator, said, "Bill, I guess she means business; we had better go." In leaving they said she would see them again, to which she answered "Rail" right come again and I will have this same beatsake ready for you." The Evans and his pal then attempted to get into a wagon near by, but the horses, frightened by the shots, plunged and reared and finally broke away. The fugitives ran to Mono and O streets and came across a man named Willard Cochran, riding along in a cart. They fired at him several times, making him alight, took possession of the cart and drove away. LATEST ABOUT CHRISE EVANS Fresno, Jan. 1.—Shoriff Scott and posee, who are after Chris Evans and Ed Morrell are still unheard from. The fact that some word is not received from them is said to be due to the order which Scott gave the posse, to keep their work secret from the press, claiming that the bandits make use of the published plans of the officers in evading the latter. From this it seems that nothing is likely to be heard from them till they do battle, make capture, or give up the chase. It has been four days since Evans bid adieu to the Fresno jail officials. During this time his clever escape has been the principal topic discussed, and no phase of the case has been unnoticed. It has been suggested by some of Evans's supposed friends that he has given the officers the dodge, and is now many miles from their snowy camps in Sampson's Flat. They reason that Evans is too clever to think of trying to battle with the mountain storms in his condition, and while there is no doubt that he pretended to go up the flume from Sanger, that after dark on Friday evening he was met by a fresh team and hurriedly taken in the opposite direction, doing his traveling only by night. If it were not that this is the view of Evans's friends it would seem quite probable that it was correct, and that the officers were on a cold trail. The idea most general, however, is that Evans had a camp and supplies awaiting him in his familiar mountain rendezvous, and that he and his comrade, Morrell, are singly sheltered from the mountain storms. MIDWINTER FAIR OPENED. San Francisco, Jan. 1.—After a Christmas week of cool, cloudy weather, which closed with a slight rainfall last night, New Year's day opened clear and pleasant in San Francisco. It is a double holiday here, owing to the fact that the California Midwinter International Exposition opened this morning. Though the opening is purely informal, the dedicatory exercises have been postponed until the main buildings are completed and exhibits in place. There were no formal exercises to-day, and the only special features were a concert by the Fair Band and the unveiling of Sir Francis Drake's monument, "the Prayer Book Cross." Besides music and the monument dedication, visitors to-day had 160 acres of ground to wander over, and about seventy buildings and camps to inspect. People who visited the exposition grounds to-day were numbered by the thousands. From an early hour every car going to Golden Gate Park was crowded, and ticket republics. THE FRUIT EXCHANGE. W. A. Perry of Riveride, chief general executive committee of California Fruit Exchange, has caryed as follows: The general executive commited that the following schools shall apply during the month and February, 1894, as a start unless future developments are an earlier change: Washington Navels—96s to 10 not over 25 boxes 96s or 20 box put in a car. We reserve this putting in 10 boxes 80s and 10 discount of 25 cents per box. Seedlings—126s to 226s, in over 30 boxes 126s or 40 boxes in a car. We reserve the price in 10 boxes of 112s and 20 box discount of 25 cents per box. Off sizes, other than above mnt jeet to special arrangement you should state what sizes you as far as possible will coil must avoid irregular sizes as packing houses. During past few years discounts have been somewhat exchange prices will be so minor season that the present discount per box will be about the same former 50-cent discount. Silvernavals advance to over $2 per count will be changed. We intend, as far as consists our patrons. Remember that in these exchanges you are dealing with growers.

Y 4, 1894. NUMBER 9 LATE NEWS OF INTEREST. Prendergast, the murderer of Carter Harrison, has been found guilty of murder and will be hanged. Tacoma has rigged up a torture bath for tramps, but the officers refuse to inflict it, fearing the fraternity will take pneumonia and sue the city for damages. The bath is an ice-cold shower and spurs on the tramp criss-cross like in every direction. Tax Collector Freeman sums up the tax delinquencies of State, county and city of Santa Ana as follows: Real estate, $764.48; personal property, $741.42; total, $5,505.90. The total amount due was about $80,000, so that the delinquency is very large. A large barn at Pasadena, owned by Banning brothers, was struck by lightning during a terrible thunder-storm at 4 o'clock last Wednesday morning, and the structure and contents, including seventy-five tons of hay, were totally consumed. A young Indian mother of twins at Needles last week was, after a great powwow of the Mohave lodges camped near that point on the Colorado, inclosed in her hut of brushwood and without resistance on her part, burned to death and all her belongings consumed. Her offense was that of being a witch from having given birth to twins. The children were clabbed to death. Governor Lewelling of Kansas has issued a circular to the heads of the Police Departments of six metropolitan cities of the State suggesting, in view of the financial stringency, that they, as far as possible, give employment to heads of families in preference to single men and that in some cases it would be even advisable to discharge single men to make places for heads of families. The body of Miss Mary L. Yeargin, the student drowned November 18th while boating on Cayuga lake in New York with Professor Merriam of Cornell University, was found last week at McKinney point. The general impression is that Old Man Bishop, who went to the Sheriff several days ago to see if the reward would not be increased for the recovery of the body, knows more than he cares to toll as to where it has been so long. We are in receipt of Bulletin No. 102, issued by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley, under the direction of Prof. E.W. Hiligard. The station has introduced a large number of new cereals, vines and trees, samples of which will be distributed to those who will make a mark on payment of quests from firms handling Southern California fruit on this coast, and in the East and Northwest, particularly the latter Territory, warning growers against too early shipments of oranges. The undue rush to get oranges into the market early not only demoralizes prices, but results in the distribution of large quantities of sour fruit, and the consumers do not like them as well as the sweeter Florida fruit. Fruit growers are urged to wait until the oranges are ripe before sending them out in such large quantities, and then this region need have no fear of leading in the markets of the world. A young physician in a neighboring town is engaged to a young lady and is permitted to visit her three times a week. The mother of the young lady arranged to have her little nephew with her on these visiting days to keep guard over the decorum of the young couple while she attended to her household duties. During one of the visits mamma desired to speak to her daughter and entered the room abruptly. She was amazed to see her seated on the physician's lap with both arms entwined about his neck, while her nephew was geoping about the room with his eyes tightly bandaged with the young man's handkerchief. "Doctor," the angry woman exclaimed, "What does this mean? But before the embarrassed couple could reply her nephew answered, 'Why, annie,' he's teaching me to play blind-man's buff. Don't you think it's nice." As engine No. 34 of the San Diego freight was nearing Aliso switch, about three miles south of Santa Ana, last Thursday afternoon, something got wrong with the lubricator and Engineer Milton climbed out of the cab and was working his way around to the disordered piece of machinery, as the train was running rapidly, with a view of repairing it when his foot slipped and he fell to the ground. As soon as the train could be stopped and backed Milton was picked up and found to be severely injured about the head shoulders. He was brought to Santa Ana for treatment. It was found upon examination that his dislocation had several bad cuts about his face. He was in an insensible condition when picked up Milton's residence is in Los Angeles, where he was sent after having his injuries治了。 OUR FLEET AT RIO. It is now definitely settled that the monitor Misutonomah is going to Brazil. Telegraphic orders were sent to her commanding officer to sail at once for the South Atlantic station, stopping at Hampton Roads for further instructions. Bear Admiral Gher vessels along such ports as are liable to blockades that will interfere with American commercial interests. The Navy Department is anxious to increase the number of vessels in the Pacific, and it is probable that very soon after the New York and San Francisco arrive at Rio harbor news may be expected of the departure therefrom of the Charleston, and possibly one other vessel, for the Pacific. While there is no pressing emergency at present for an additional force in those waters, the Pacific fleet is lamentably small, and there is no telling how soon an increase of force may be necessary in the North Pacific to look after American interests in Hawaii and Samoa, and in the South and Central Pacific republics. THE FRUIT EXCHANGE. W. A. Perry of Riverside, chairman of the general executive committee of the Southern California Fruit Exchange, has issued a circular as follows: The general executive committee have decided that the following schedule of sizes shall apply during the months of January and February, 1894, as a standard carload, unless future developments should compel an earlier change: Washington Navels—96a to 100s, inclusive; not over 25 boxes 96a or 20 boxes 290a to be The body of Miss Mary L. Yeargin, the student drowned November 18th while boating on Cayuga lake in New York with Professor Merriam of Cornell University, was last week at McKinney point. The general impression is that Old Man Bishop, who went to the Sheriff several days ago to see if the reward would not be increased for the recovery of the body, knows more than he cares to toll as to where it has been so long. We are in receipt of Bulletin No. 102, issued by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley, under the direction of Prof. E. W. Hilgard. The station has introduced a large number of new cereals, vines and trees, samples of which will be distributed to those who will make use of them, on payment of cost of transportation. The new varieties include a number of grapes from Persia and Italy, shade trees suitable for public grounds, grains, grasses and/orage plants. Dr. C. E. Wilson of Riverside claims to have invented a new method of destroying scale, and has made application for a patent. The method is to treat the trees by inoculating them with a certain fluid. He says that by his method the trees are freed from scale in three days without injury. The cost of treating a tree is 14 cents and one man can inoculate 300 trees in a day. He claims the process has been tested on over 1,000 trees and has worked successfully in every case. The defendant in the case of Lellina L. Lamb vs. Glen H. Lamb, an action for divorce, was last week ordered by Judge McKinley in the Los Angeles Superior Court to pay plaintiff's attorney $200 within thirty days. They secured a small iron bar, and muffling the sound with heavy blankets, battered a large hole through the north side of the jail, and escaped in broad daylight. A few minutes after they escaped the officers were notified, and at once gave pursuit to the criminals, who started south, toward Newport. These are all noted criminals, Carter being an ex convict. Officers in neighboring counties have been notified. The criminals made toward the river-bed, two miles from Santa Ana, where they gave the officer the slip in the willows. An examination of the hole made in the jail wall shows that assistance was rendered from outside with a pick. The somewhat noted case of Les Blasigne was called in the Fresno Court last week, and for the third time was dismissed. Blasigne was accused by L. P. Van Doren of leading astray Miss Maude Bearden when she was 13 years of age. The crime is alleged to have been committed two years ago. Van Doren claims that Miss Bearden and he are engaged, and has pushed the charge against Blasigne. The first complaint was made in the Superior Court and was dismissed. Then before the Grand Jury, and the charge was ignored. Van Doren then swore to a complaint in the Justice's court. Maude Bearden, a pretty, delicate girl of 15, was the only witness. She was called for the prosecution and testified that no improper relations ever existed between her and Blasigne. The suit of Miss Pollard against Commander Breckenridge of Kentucky will be promised and thus prevented from going into court. From the filing of the suit the Kentucky Congressman counted upon getting rid of it in some way so as to prevent it from going to a judge or jury for determination. He has taken a good many of his friends into his confidence of late, and apparently it devolves upon his friends to supply the money to satisfy the complainant. Breckenridge, in talking to one of his friends a short time before the holiday recess, assured him that his wife had no means and therefore could not pecuniarly help him out of his trouble. It is understood the proposition is to pay Miss Pollard $2,000 down and $800 per year for a prescribed time. Breckenridge wants to go back to Congress, and is determined to keep the case out at all hazards and sacrifices. Los Angeles Times: An important feature in the progress of Southern California during the past year has been the wonderful success which has attended the planting of sugar beets near Anaheim, in the adjoining county of Orange. The percentages of sugar which have been obtained from this new sugar-beet vessel along such ports as are liable to blockades that will interfere with American commercial interests. The Navy Department is anxious to increase the number of vessels in the Pacific, and it is probable that very soon after the New York and San Francisco arrive at Rio harbor news may be expected of the departure therefrom of the Charleston, and possibly one other vessel, for the Pacific. While there is no pressing emergency at present for an additional force in those waters, the Pacific fleet is lamentably small, and there is no telling how soon an increase of force may be necessary in the North Pacific to look after American interests in Hawaii and Samoa, and in the South and Central Pacific republics.

We reserve the privilege of putting in 10 boxes of 112s and 20 boxes 250s at a discount of 25 cents per box. Off sizes, other than above mentioned, subject to special arrangements. In ordering you should state what sizes you prefer, and as far as possible we will comply, but we must avoid irregular sizes accumulating in the packing houses. During the past few years the sizes and discounts have been somewhat mixed. The exchange prices will be so much lower this season that the present discount of 25 cents per box will be about the same percentage as former 50-cent discount. Should prices on navels advance to over $2 per box the discount will be changed. We intend, as far as consistent, to protect our patrons. Remember that in purchasing of the exchanges you are dealing direct with the growers. If any consigned oranges or lemons should arrive in your market, or if you hear of any to arrive, please wire me, also giving number of boxes of exchange oranges you have on hand. The Southern California Fruit Exchanges were organized for the purpose of doing away with all consignments and selling all California oranges f.o.b. We trust all responsible houses will aid us in this movement by purchasing exchange oranges exclusively. The President's ducking trip may have some very important consequences. It is asserted on the authority of a Cabinet officer that the apparently trivial diversion had for its object the breaking to Secretary Gregham of the President's conclusion that his services are no longer needed in the Cabinet. The President, it is said, feels that he has been subjected to so much adverse criticism on account of his Hawaiian policy that he is anything but a kindly mood toward the Secretary of State, who shares with him the odium of that programme, and has determined to shift from himself as much of it as is now possible by making Gregham the scapegoat, as he has on previous occasions made Carlisle the scapegoat for his financial mistakes. The plan is said to be to appoint Gregham to the Supreme Court in case the nomination of Hornblower should fall through. If Hornblower succeeds in weathering the dilatory tactics of the Senate Gregham will be given something else, but it is asserted that he has got to leave the Cabinet in any event. The somewhat noted case of Les Blasin game was called in the Freeso Court last week, and for the third time was dismissed. Blasin game was accused by L.P. Van Doren of leading astray Miss Maude Bearden when she was 13 years of age. The crime is alleged to have been committed two years ago. Van Doren claims that Miss Bearden and he are engaged, and has pushed the charge against Blasingame. The first complaint was made in the Superior Court and was dismissed.

She was called for the prosecution and testified that no improper relations ever existed between her and Blasingame. The case was dismissed. The News Nachrichten of Munich, December 5, announced on the Sunday previous, December 3, that at Genoa, Princess Elizabeth of Bavaria, had been married to Lighth Siegfried auf Puttenheim of the Bavarian army. This news caused a decided sensation; as the Princess is a granddaughter of the Emperor of Austria, as well as the granddaughter of the Prince Regent of Bavaria. The sensation which the report of the marriage created, however, is nothing to the constaration caused in imperial and royal circles by the announcement made by the Germania, the chief organ of the Clerical party, which declares that Princess Elizabeth was not married to Lieut. Siegfried, and that she is not now married to him, although they are living together. The Germania adds that other news which is undoubtedly most painful to the relatives of the Princess is not fit to be published. The ralieious telegram about twenty-four men having been killed in a pitched battle between Mexicans and Americans at Laguna Delgado is explained by the arrival of M.T. Morlariat, a well known sheep raiser, at Albuquerque. He states that a Mexican sheep raiser having reported to the Governor that the Americans were starting and running off his sheep, he collected together a number of armed Mexicans. The Americans caught wind of the maneuvers and rallied at an old fort in the neighborhood. Explainations followed after the Mexican sheep raiser arrived and the whole trouble was settled and not a shot was fired. The matter originated in the first place from the shooting a few weeks ago of John Glenn, an American sheep man, who had the bad luck to have a bunch of sheep belonging to a Mexican in his flock. Mrs. Robert Darlington, cousin of Madeline Pollard, was shot and wounded in the church at Grafenburg, Shelby county, Ky., one night last week. Robert Gogawell, said to have been an admirer of Mrs. Darlington before she was married a few months ago did the shooting. He is now in jail. Cogwell had previously had words with Mr. and Mrs. Darlington, and had shot and missed the husband. Later, in a state of great excitement, he went to the church during the hours of service and, seeing Mrs. Darlington alone in a pew, he drew his revolver and fired, the ball striking her in the shoulder. It indicated a flesh wound, from which she will soon recover. The congregation arose and pursued Cogwell, but he fled toward his home, and subsequently gave himself up.

Two members of the fire patrol, Milner and Jacobs, were ordered into the bask part of the burning building. The ceiling fell and both men were buried under the burning timbers and steaming bricks. Jacobs was rescued by the other patrolmen. "Mil is over there," he muttered, as he staggered to his feet and pointing to the extreme end of a heap of boards which were burning fiercely. They tried to reach the point, but could not, the flames driving them back. Barrels of naptha were bursting on every side and the place was unbearable hot. They went out, leaving their comrade to his fate. A Catholic priest was in the great crowd that had gathered in the street contiguous to the burning building. He said nothing, but strode across over the coils and lengths of hoose and entered the doorway from which Jacobs and the others had just been driven. Regardless of his danger he penetrated to Milner's fiery tomb. Unless the fireman's head had been crushed by the falling timbers he was alive when the priest arrived. Spreading out his arms over the place where he supposed Milner was he administered the extreme unction of the church. He had some difficulty in getting out, and his right hand was burned! A reporter asked his name, but the priest, from modesty, courteously declined. La Grippa. During the prevalence of the Gripppethe past season it was a noticeable fact that those who depended upon Dr.King's New Discovery, not only had a speedy recovery, but escaped all the troubles after effects of malady. This remedy seems to have a peculiar power in effecting rapid curces not only in cases of La Gripppebut in all diseases of throat, chest and lungs,and has cured cases of asthma and hay fever of long standing. Try it and be convinced. It won't disappoint. Free trial bottles at W.M.Higgins' Drug Store.
