PEOPLE LIVING OPPOSITE EMANUEL CHURCH SEE A LIGHT FLICKERING IN THE BELFRY THE NIGHT BLANCHE LAMONT WAS KILLED. Absolutely nothing has been left undone in the Durrant murder case to make the evidence against the accused conclusive. Charles L. Hedemark and his wife have repeated the remarkable story they related soon after Durrant's arrest. This story, so little thought of at the time, has gained significant interest in the last few days, particularly in relation to an important statement made by the police. Capt. Lees and his associates have said that they will show, beyond the power of contradiction, the movements of Durrant during every hour of the day on which Blanche Lamout disappeared. It is believed that they have a witness who saw Durrant near the church between 6 and 7 o'clock on the evening of April 3. The dramatic story told by Hedemark and his wife is that they saw a man moving from place to place in the church. As the darkness of night deepened they saw him in the galleries of the deserted place, guided in his terrible work by the light of a candle. At first the moving light behind the great church window made them think the church was on fire, but closer watching quieted their fears, and they concluded that some one was repairing the sanctuary. They had no suspicion that they were watching the last grew-some details of a horrible crime. who was my wife. I was married to her on October 26, 1876, in the East, but we lived here in San Diego a few years ago. We always got along well together. In 1890 I left here for the State of Washington to take up a homestead and intended to make a home for ourselves there. We corresponded regularly until along in 1893, and I occasionally sent her a few dollars, though she was a professional nurse and made a good living for herself and had no children to look after. She was living in my own house at Front and Cedar streets, in this city, and I had reason to believe she was getting along all right. "But it transpires I had hardly got out of sight before she began this action against me on the ground of desertion. She alleged in her complaint that I was notified, but the first I heard of it was two years ago in San Francisco, when I was on my way back here. An old friend told me then that my wife had procurred a divorce from me over two years previously, and what was even more surprising had got married again in a week to a man named Casey. That astounded me more than I can express, and since then I have wandered all over the coast except here. To think of her corresponding with me and accepting money for two years after getting a divorce and marrying again was more than I could stand. I spent all the money I could raise by selling all the improvements on my homestead, and only lately made up my mind to come down here and find out about the proceedings. "Since arriving a week ago I have ascertained she has a child nearly four years old, and is living with her husband somewhere out by La Mesa—living too, in my house. In her complaint she alleged the house was her separate property, and the court gave it to her. But it is mine. "What shall I do? Well, I intend to have the decree of divorce annulled. The whole complaint is untrue and reflects on me in an unwarranted manner. I only wish to have the decree annulled, and then she can go ahead as she pleases." PROF. PIERCE'S REPORT. AUTHENTIC INFORMATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE REGARDING CALIFORNIA GRAPES AND THEIR DISEASES. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—The grape dispatches from the Pacific coast are reviewed in the report compiled by Newton B. Pierce and issued by the agricultural department today. It states that more than one-half of the grapes of the country are grown on the Pacific coast, California alone having ap- ODDS AND ENDS OF NEWS. The Princeton students whose arduous order by the Governor of Wyoming charge of killing game in the Bannock country, succeeded in getting out State before the machinery of the law their detention could be put into use. An attempt was made by mashed potatoes up the south bound Santa Fe at Heidenheimer, Texas, Thursday night. While the robbers were preparing to express car the engineer returned engine and turned on full steam, not until the next station was reached. Shots were fired into the train. Fifteen Bannock Indians were killed Diamond Valley, Idaho; by cattlemen the leadership of R. E. Smith; then being revenge for the murder of his fathers 1878. There is great excitement throughout the country. Troops are ready to move short notice and await orders from sheriff for authority to act. Indians are proaching from the south, but are being friendly. Postmaster Coy of Occidental, county, has been arrested on a chaperon with the mails. A few days Miss Gibson of Guernville received from Miss Taylor of Occidental which mention of an included sample of Miss Gibson failed to find. Her suit were aroused and communication between the two ladies brought to light the fact that letter had been tampered with. Ten of the biggest sawwills in Texas have been running night and day a week past to fill an order for lumber collisions in which Corbett and Fitzsimmons will meet in October; the largest orders placed in Texas. Something over 1,000 feet of lumber will be used in the bushes as the law against prize fighting does not expire until the first of September; actual work will not be begun until friends of Oscar Wilde, who have him in prison, say that he continues joy good health and is making the situation, although he frequently presses the wish to die. Those who are terrested in future of the disgraced have been discussing what Wilde when he leaves prison. Although no definite appears to be decided, it is given belief that he will be smuggled out country and enabled to begin a new under a new name, depending upon for a living. Georgie Davenport, an eight-year-old Jose boy, met with a frightful death running over by a heavily loaded fruit-basket being carried away It is believed that they have a witness who saw Durrant near the church between 6 and 7 o'clock on the evening of April 3. The dramatic story told by Hedemark and his wife is that they saw a man moving from place to place in the church. As the darkness of night deepened they saw him in the galleries of the deserted place, guided in his terrible work by the light of a candle. At first the moving light behind the great church window made them think the church was on fire, but closer watching quieted their fears, and they concluded that some one was repairing the sanctuary. They had no suspicion that they were watching the last grewsome details of a horrible crime. The man whose shadow they saw was hiding the deadly record of his crime. He was busy among the rafters of the steeple, gazing now and then down upon the body of the girl whose life he had taken. Subsequent events gave an intense interest to the part which Hedemark and his wife played. That is one reason why they have again told their story to the prosecution. Every detail was repeated. It was shortly before 7 o'clock that Mrs. Hedemark called her husband's attention to the light in the church. She is able now to recall the incident for several reasons. April 3 was her sister's birthday, and Mrs. Hedemark had paid her a visit on that day. She had returned to her home somewhat late and was sitting with her husband in the dining room when her attention was drawn to the church. The Hedemarks live directly opposite the church. Between their home and the church there is no obstruction. Mrs. Hedemark saw the moving light in the church at dusk. She thought it strange, and watching it for a moment, she called her husband to the window. Together they traced the shadows on the church windows. The man was in the gallery of the church. Now and then he would stoop and the light would flicker. He moved slowly from that part of the gallery into which the door from the main auditorium opens toward the door to the belfry. When he had slowly made the journey ending at the foot of the tower, the light suddenly disappeared. Mrs. Hedemark waited for a few moments and then left her station at the window. She and her husband been watching the shadow of a murderer, but thought they were looking at the reflection of some workman in the silent church. WOMEN PRONOUNCE DURRANT INNOCENT. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.—Among the visitors to Theodore Durrant a few days ago were three ladies who were introduced by the accused medical student's mother. They were Mrs. G. E. Banks of Stockton, Miss F. E. Burnett of Los Angeles and Mrs. A. Davidson of Boston, who went to the jail for the sole purpose of studying him. They claim to be students of human nature. They believe that when they turn their eagle eyes on a man they can read his very soul. After a careful study of all his points their verdict was "Innocent; innocent as an angel." Durrant was rather surprised when the delegation arrived, as he is not accustomed to so many lady callers all at once. He was tired when they left, and yet relieved. In speaking of the visit to the jail, Mrs. Davidson, the spokeswoman of the party, said: "We did not go to the jail as most people go to see a prisoner. With us it was to study for ourselves a young man charged with such revolting crimes. Instead of being a devil, we found him an inoffensive, mild person, utterly incapable of the crimes of which he is charged. There is nothing in the facial expression, poise of the head or physique of she man to indicate an evil character. That young man is innocent, and no matter what evidence they unearth or what the verdict of the jury may be, I shall always believe him so. It a sin to confine him—a downright sin." Miss Burnett claims to represent a Los Angeles newspaper, but she would not say, which one. One night when Mr. Isaac Reese was stop- PROF. PIERCE'S REPORT. AUTHENTIC INFORMATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE REGARDING CALIFORNIA GRAPES AND THEIR DISEASES. WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—The grape dispatches from the Pacific coast are reviewed in the report compiled by Newton B. Pierce and issued by the agricultural department today. It states that more than one-half of the grape of the country are grown on the Pacific coast, California alone having approximately 200,000 acres of vines. It shows that the main reason why vine diseases are more destructive on the Pacific coast than on the Atlantic coast is because the European or tender varieties are grown in the former and the American or hardy vines in the latter part of the United States. The most serious of the plant maladies is the California vine disease, which has already killed more than 39,000 acres of the most thrifty and productive vineyard. Whole vine growing regions are now denuded and the disease is at work fifty miles away from where it began first season on the foliage of the vine, and by the second season a reduced growth of the canes is apparent. Powdered mulch is one of the most common diseases of the grape, but it is easily treated. Sulphur, the report says, is the agent used in nearly all cases, the fama destroying the tender spores and vegetative organs. Couleur is a plant trouble in which the vine growers of the entire country, especially of the Pacific coast, are interested. The most frequent losses from the disease occur in the raisier growing districts of California and Arizona. Losses caused by its ravages amount to many millions of dollars, and in Arizona it is said a full crop of raisin grapes has not been obtained for twelve years or more. The report predicts that the crossing of the Museum, Muscatel and other varieties of the vine will ultimately do away with the losses from coulure in raisin grapes. KANSAS IDEA OF A KISS. We observe with a degree of pain that a Wichita man has got into trouble about a kiss. It is never pleasant to hear of a misunderstanding about a kiss. A kiss is such a harmless, necessary thing—the bestowing of it such a simple, innocent and pleasant form of recreation—that to have any sort of trouble follow it is discouraging, to say the least. But in the Kansas case under consular趴on the sorrow that such things should be rather swallowed up in wonder at certain details of development. The thing has, of course, got into the court's or nothing would be known about it. Mrs. Wertz, who was kissed, is suing Mr. Pulliam, who did the kissing, for damages. Realizing, apparently, the utter aburdity of such a thing as damages having any possible connection with so benign a thing as a kiss, the lady's lawyer has fallen back on his legal base of supplies and put forward the astonishing plaint that the defendant kissed the plaintiff in a loud, boisterous, felious, malicious and unseemly manner against peace and dignity of the State of Kansas." We suppose that never before was any such ridiculous list of unwilling adjectives dragged together to abound a thing under guise of describing it. Barely one of them could ever be applied to a kiss; a kiss may, we suppose, on occasion, be loud, though the subdued variety is, we believe, kind that finds greatest popular favor. But even loudest kisses is not a matter to disturb SON, the spokeswoman of the party, said: "We did not go to the jail as most people go to see a prisoner. With us it was to study for ourselves a young man charged with such revolting crimes. Instead of being a devil, we found him an inoffensive, mild person, utterly incapable of the crimes of which he is charged. There is nothing in the facial expression, poise of the head or physique of the man to indicate an evil character. That young man is unsecent, and no matter what evidence they unearth or what the verdict of the jury may be, I shall always believe him so. It a sin to confine him—a downright sin." Miss Burnett claims to represent a Los Angeles newspaper, but she would not say, which one. One night when Mr. Isaac Reese was stopping with me, says M. F. Hatch, a prominent merchant of Quartermaster, Washington. He heard him groaning. On going to his room I found him suffering from cramp colic. He was in such agony he would die. I hastily gave him a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He was soon relieved and the first words he uttered were, "What was that stuff you gave me?" I informed him. A few days ago we were talking about his attack and he said he was never without that remedy now. I have used it in my family for several years. I know its worth and do not hesitate to recommend it to my friends and customers. For sale by Derge. Local Time Table, SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY TIME TABLE.

A SAN DIEGO ROMANCE DIVORCED FIVE YEARS AGO FROM HIS WIFE AND NEVER KNEW IT—RETURNS TO FIND HER MARRIED TO ANOTHER AND THE MOTHER OF A FOUR-YEAR-OLD BOY. SAN DIEGO, CAL., Aug. 20.—An intelligent man of middle age appeared in the County Clerk’s office today and asked permission to look at the papers in the divorce case of Houbert vs. Houbert, in which a decree was rendered on January 22, 1891. His request was granted, and the man sat at a desk for a long time over the judgment. Later he told about his connection with the case. "I am Houbert, the defendant in the action," said he, "and though the decree was granted over four years ago, this is the first positive information I have obtained that a divorce was granted to the woman the kissing, for damages. Realizing, apparently, the utter absurdity of such a thing as damages having any possible connection with so benign a thing as a kiss, the lady’s lawyer has fallen back on his legal base of supplies and put forward the astonishing plea that the defendant kissed the plaintiff in a “flood, boisterous, felionous, malicious and unecemly manner, against the peace and dignity of the State of Kansas.” We suppose that never before was any such ridiculous list of unwilling adjunctives dragged together to shroud a thing under guise of describing it. Barely one of them could ever be applied to a kiss; a kiss may, we suppose, on occasion, be loud, though the subdued variety is, we believe, the kind that finds greatest popular favor. But even the loudest kiss is not a matter to disturb the peace of a big State like Kansas, or even to call out the Fire Department, and the adjective loud as used by the legal gentleman is almost as misleading as the others. For the others are certainly meant simply to begof the minds of the jurymen. We cannot conceive of any same person bestowing a kiss boisterously. As for a kiss ever being felenious or malicious, the thing is unthinkable. And when we come to the last descriptive word applied by this Kansas legal curiosity the mind simply revolts. A kiss is the very personification of seemliness. Other things may be seemly, but a kiss is seemliness itself, boiled down and reduced to a concrete and visible and audible form. Although some things may point toward this lawyer’s being old, we are inclined to think, on the contrary, that he is probably extremely young. Zeal for his newly chosen profession has run away with him and caused him to utter these most detestable slanders on the gentle kiss. When he is older he will know that his profession does not require any such sacrifice of him. When he loses the present case, as he certainly must, it will begin to open his eyes to the fact. Don’t you think so, girls? Despite the high indignation over the recent grave robbers in the Peede cemetery, in Texas, more graves have been desecrated during the last two nights. When the first graves were robbed, it was a noticeable fact that only such graves were entered as would yield booty in the shape of jewelry, which had been buried with the deceased persons. Not a grave was touched whose occupant was not buried with jewelry upon it. How these graves were singled out was a mystery at first, but the official investigation has disclosed the fact that these particular graves were singled out with a mineral rod in the hands of expert prospectors. It was not their intention originally to rob graves, but they accidentally followed that grewsome calling. They were in search of buried treasure which was left in the shape of a pot of gold coin by Rus Taylor. He was miserly and being suddenly taken sick he could not divulge tue hiding place, hoping finally to recover, but told the amount he had buried. He died, and it was this $3,000 that the grave robbers were originally seeking. Controller of the Treasury Bowler received the last of the briefs in the county case, and has begun work on decision, which will probably be rendered course of a week. He will first howeve have to render a decision on ex-Secretary Carlisle on the ground that the peculiar language of the act is disbursement of the appropriation of the hands of the regular accounting offence of the treasury. There is a strong belief in the Treasury department that Bowler overrule ex-Secretary Manderson’s motion will decide against payment of the bounty. While there has been no intimation what his opinion will be, the general belief is that he will refuse to pass the $5,238 sugar bounty claim, and thus send therants to the United States Court of Justice for redress. Comptroller Bowler’s action he avows, was due largely to the opinion Chief Justice Shepard of District Columbia Court of Appeals in the mandate proceeding against Secretary of The Treasury and Commissioner of Internal Revenue holding that the granting of a bounty to sugar producers was an unconstitutional by Congress. A private letter has been received from the Hon. Thomas M. Cookigan Michigan, formerly Chairman of the U.S. State Commerce Commission and a renamed authority on constitutional law which he highly commends the opinion Chief Justice Shepard declaring the option to be “clear, logical, and conclusive” of subject treated, the constitutional power Congress to pay bounties. There is a rumor in circulation in Winston that President Cleveland and Secretary Olney have decided upon a sweeter change in the diplomatic offices in their eight countries represented by certain tinguished Democrats. This rumor bodes that Ambassador Eustis is to be recalled from his post of duty in France; that his sister Denby is to be asked to resign his position as this government’s representative in China; that Minister Dun at Japan is certain to recalled; and that ex-Secretary Ransom is to be reappointed as this government’s representative in Mexico. In the event this rumor is true, President Cleveland has of course, have four important missions done out to Democrats that will aid strengthening the position taken by this ministry in dealing with important national questions. The statement is not that for some time Mr Cleveland has been satisfied with the course following Ambassador Eustis; that Minister Denby not strictly followed this administration’s instructions in China, and that Minister Dun at Japan has been in danger of displeaser for several months past. Ex-Secretary Ransom may or may not care to go back to Mexico but should he desire to do so he is likely be disappointed. His probable success... Gazette. ODS AND ENDS OF NEWS. The Princeton students whose arrest was overturned by the Governor of Wyoming on the large of killing game in the Bannock Indian country, succeeded in getting out of the state before the machinery of the laws for their detention could be put into use. An attempt was made by masked men to up the south bound Santa Fe express Heidenheimer, Texas, Thursday morning. While the robbers were preparing to enter express car the engineer returned to the house and turned on full steam, not stopping until the next station was reached. Several cars were fired into the train. Fifteen Bannock Indians were killed at Monad Valley, Idaho, by cattlemen, under leadership of R. E. Smith, the reason for revenge for the murder of his father in Texas. There is great excitement throughout country. Troops are ready to march on notice and await orders from the law for authority to act. Indians are approaching from the south, but are believed friendly. Postmaster Coy of Occidental, Sonoma county, has been arrested on a charge of piracy with the mails. A few days ago Gibson of Guernville received a letter Miss Taylor of Occidental which made him aroused and communication between two ladies brought to light the fact that latter had been tampered with. One of the biggest sawmills in Eastern Ohio has been running nights and day for weeks past to fill an order for lumber for the museum in which Corbett and Fitzimmons meet in October, the largest order ever laid in Texas. Something over 1,000,000 of lumber will be used in the building. The law against prize fighting in Texas does not expire until the first of September, actual work will not be begun until then. Admits of Oscar Wilde, who have visited an prison, say that he continues to endure health and is making the best of situation, although he frequently exceeds the wish to die. Those who are involved in the future of the disgrace man been discussing what Wilde will do be leaves prison. Although nothing appears to be decided, it is generally believed that he will be smuggled out of the city and enabled to begin a new life for a new name, depending upon his pen living. Georgie Davenport, an eight-year-old San boy, met with a frightful death by being over by a heavily loaded fruit-wagon, being taken into use. Lewis Baker, this government's present representative to Nicaragua, Costa Rico and San Salvador. There are few state department officials of any prominence in Washington, so that the various rumors in circulation regarding the probable changes cannot be verified. Mrs. Lora Perkins of Minneapolis was arrested and charged with the murder of her sister, Mrs. Louise Hawkins, to obtain $7,000 life insurance. Mrs. Hawkins died on August 9, four hours after the overturning of a lamp near the bed, where she lay ill. The police refuse to disclose their evidence. The sisters were widows. Two policies were taken out on April 9 in Mrs. Perkins' favor. It is understood that the State expects to prove that the bedclothing was saturated with oil and ignited and the lamp overturned to conceal the crime. On the other hand the defendant claims to have the ante morten statement of Mrs. Hawkins that she overturned the lamp herself accidentally. The Los Angeles Supervisors requested an opinion from District Attorney Donnell on the proper procedure in fixing tax levies in irrigation districts in face of the recent decision of Judge Ross. The particular case was a petition of R. F. House of Pomona, stating that the directors of the Orange Belt Irrigation District had neglected to levy on the property of the district for the payment of accrued interest on bonds which he holds. He asked that the supervisors take necessary steps to compel the collection of the accrued interest on the bonds. The district attorney held that the Board of Supervisors should make the levy, notwithstanding a recent decision of Judge Ross. The provisions of the Wright Act are that in case of the refusal of the Directors to cause such assessment to be made, then it is the duty of the Board of Supervisors to make the levy. John Kimball, 87 years old, a wealthy resident of Wisconsin, is suing for a divorce from his wife, Isabella, aged 25, whom he first met on the 4th inst. Kimball alleges that he is weak-minded and very susceptible and was inveigled into matrimony with Mrs. Isabella Frazier who was at time a clerk in his store. He says that his young wife has positively refused to consummate the nuptials and that her entire desire in wedding him was to obtain his property. Recently he procured her a fine residence. Now he asks the court to dissolve his marriage and return the property to him. The defendant will claim that Kimball persuaded her into the marriage and himself offered the deed to the property. The continued absence of Lieutenant-Governor Millard is responsible for a rumor which reaches Los Angeles by way of San Francisco that underlaid lies about her appearance. The result of the inquiry by the State Board of Equalization into the taxable condition of the counties in the northern part of the State shows many of them to be decreasing in valuation. Merced has shown a steady increase up to 1892, when it decreased at the rate of $600,000 for each of the years 1803 and 1894, and $400,000 for 1895. Merced is cursed with large grants, among which are the Mitchell estate of 63,000 acres, Miller and Lux, 125,000, and two more of over 20,000 acres each. The decrease in the assessment roll of Butte county is $212,000, and all farming property decreased 25 per cent in the last year. In Sutter the farmers have exhausted their energy and their money in battling against the evil of hydraulic mining, the debris from which ruined their lands. Yuba's assessment roll decreased $63,260. There is good authority for the statement that a peremptory demand will be made by the United States on France for the release of ex-Consul Waller of Tamatave, and that satisfactory indemnity will be required for his arrest and imprisonment, with a probable request for a commission to determine Waller's rights in Madagascar. The discussion of the case between the French and American diplomats has reached a point where it is said there is little else for the United States to do, owing to the fact that repeated requests for a copy of the charges and testimony on which Waller was convicted have not been furnished by the French government. The dilatoriness of France is regarded as indicating that she has a poor case, and will be unable to resist the demands by the United States. A condition which makes the delay more aggravating is the fact of Waller's serious illness, and that imprisonment and further confinement is injurious to his health. Orrin D. Shaw, 45 years of age, and Kate Duffy, 34 years, were married by Rev. Father McKenna in Lowell, Mass., Wednesday evening. The ceremony had just been performed when a young man ran in, stating that he was the son of the bridegroom, and that the latter was married and had a wife living not far from his parenage. In the scene that followed the bridegroom was put out of the house, and the ring was taken from the hand of the bride. Shaw has not been seen since, and during the week the woman who was to have enjoyed her honey-moon with him went to work to investigate the charges made by the son. She called upon the County Clerk and asked him to look up the record. She had found the other wife and several children, and wanted not expire until the first of September, actual work will not be begun until then. Margie Davenport, an eight-year-old San boy, met with a frightful death by being over by a heavily loaded fruit-wagon, head being orbated to a pulp. Johnson was driving six horses attached to wagons loaded with pears, along the road, and while getting down from his bed to fix one of the wagons, a small boy up to him and told him he had run away. He went back and found the dead. The boy who was with the defendant at the time ran off and the police been unable to find him. The hind end of the third wagon passed over his arm and it is supposed he was trying to hold the wagon at the time. The face of Ms. Martha Noe, chief of Police Macdonna, a city ordinance for bidding the wear of indecent apparel and Mrs. Noe's wives were all mixed up at Little Rock. A little after noon the lady and her husband appeared in Main street on a bicycle. Ten minutes later Police Carmichael had the combination in hand under arrest. Some with me, mum," said he that for!" said Mrs. Noe. Him, said Carmichael, pointing, followed by an appreciative crowd of boys, and gazed upon by as many as fifty male population as could get out on sidewalk in time, Mrs. Noe went to the station, protesting she had as much to wear bloomers on the street as any case comes up to-morrow," said Macdonna, "and bloomers will be short in this town hereafter." The men in Little Rock who usually stand front row of the Opera-house, were when the case was called. Judge Johnson and the audience waited half an hour before performance to begin.

which will probably be rendered in a week. He will first, however, render a decision on ex-Senator Person's motion to remand the whole to Secretary Carlisle on the ground of peculiar language of the act takesbursement of the appropriation out of funds of the regular accounting officials treasury. There is a strong belief at treasury department that Bowler will ex-Senator Manderson's motion and decide against payment of the bounty. There has been no intimation as to this opinion will be, the general belief he will refuse to pass the $5,238,000 bounty claim, and thus send the claim to the United States Court of Claims Press. Comptroller Bowler's action, as was, was due largely to the opinion of Justice Shepard of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in the mandamus ruling against the Secretary of the Treasury and Commissioner of Internal Revenue, that the granting of a bounty to the producers was an unconstitutional actgress. A private letter has been refrom the Hon. Thomas M. Cooley of Man, formerly Chairman of the Inter-Commerce Commission and a recog-authority on constitutional law, in the highly commends the opinion of Justice Shepard, declaring the opinion clear, logical, and conclusive" of the treated, constitutional power of tax to pay bounties. He is a rumor in circulation in Washington that President Cleveland and Secrethoney have decided upon a sweeping in the diplomatic offices in the for-countries represented by certain disbanded Democrats. This rumor has it ambassador Eustis is to be recalled as post of duty in France; that Minenby is to be asked to resign his place government's representative in China; Minister Dun at Japan is certain to be sent; and that ex-Senator Ransom is not appointed as this government's representative to Mexico. In the event that minor is true, President Cleveland will, once have four important missions to out to Democrats that will aid in shining the position taken by this adaption in dealing with important inter-questions. The statement is made for some time Mr Cleveland has not satisfied with the course followed by Adder' Eustis; that Minister Denby has not followed this administration's imminent in China, and that Minister Dun has been in danger of displacement several months past. Ex-Senator Ransom may not care to go back to Mexico, should he desire to do so he is likely to oppose. His probable successor is gether with the execution of Capt. Domingo Magica at Matanzas on July 20, has greatly inflamed the people against the Spaniards, and many prominent Cubans heretofore loyal to Spain are now joining the insurgents. The insurgent leaders have resolved to retaliate for these butchereries and will put to death all Spanish prisoners, and ordered that no prisoners be taken boreafter. Insurgents think the execution of Magica indicates that Spain is resolved on a "no quarter" campaign. This patriot was captured about three miles north of Javellano, and was shot as a traitor to Spain. He was about 28 years of age, and came one of the best families in Matanzas. A private dispatch states that Magica died like a hero, shouting "Viva Cuba libre," as the Spanish soldiers fired. Martinez Campos apparently realizes the hopelessness of the situation, for in an interview with Gen. Arderius, his brother-in-law, he stated that he feared Cuba was lost. Campos said he did not have the money necessary to carry on the war and that his troops were poorly fed and completely demoralized. The town of Santa Espiritu is completely deserted. Every able bodied man has left and joined the insurgents. Business throughout the city of Havana is stagnant. There is but little tobacco in the market and the prices charged are exorbitant. As the time approaches for the Supreme Court of the United States to pass upon the recent decision of Judge Ross, which declared the Wright act unconstitutional, there is an unusual amount of quiet work being done in some of the irrigation districts to have the decision sustained. Robert Berry of Moreno, one of the directors of the Alessandro irrigation district, says that not only in his district but in many others the feeling against the present system was so strong that active measures were being taken to use every means possible to present the side of the large property owners before the Supreme Court, in the hope that it would have due weight in sustaining Judge Ross' decision. Eminent attorneys have been retained to represent the land owners against the districts when the hearing comes up before the Supreme Court. To meet the expenses of such a fight popular subscriptions are now being accrued, and at a meeting held last week $2000 was subscribed toward the necessary expenses. This move was followed by a similar one at Moreno, where A. J. Condee headed the list with $1,000. The Alessandro irrigation district, in which Moreno is situated, is in a bitter mood over the manner in which it has been treated, and is ready to make the strongest kind of a fight to get out of the toils which have been wound around it. After this district was organized it turned over to the Bear Valley Company $765,000 in bonds and received in return a contract to have 6,000 inches of water delivered to the district. These bonds were all sold by the Bear Valley Company, the cash frittered away—no one knows how or where—and thus far the Alessandro people have received but 900 inches of water. For this miserly flow $2 throughout the burned forest districts in Washington and throughout the Northwest, temporarily checking fires, but the flames broke out afresh. Many campers and prospectors who had been out in the forests arrived at Seattle daily and told thrilling stories of being overtaken by the fierce rush of the flames and compelled to flee for safety. Innense trees which stood for centuries succumbed to the destroyer. Those who witnessed the fires say the sight of these huge blazing trees as they toppled over with a noise of thunder presented a scene both grand and terrible. Animals of every description could be seen flying before the flames and in numerous instances deed, becoming bewildered with fright, turned and rushed headlong into the fiery furnace of flame to their death. Priest lake, in Northern Idaho, was surrounded by fire, and the settlers were compelled to leave everything behind and escape in boats by way of the lake. Along the Salmon river the miners made their way out by trail to the railroad at Northport, leaving their cabins and effects behind to be burned. It will be several weeks before trains on the Mullen branch of the Northern Pacific will be running. Fresno citizens are indignant over a recent order of the State Controller requiring the tax collector to execute deeds to the State for all property beretofore sold to the State for delinquent taxes. In an interview Controller Colgan stated that it was not an order of the Controller, but the provisions of the law that the tax collector is obeying. During the last session of the Legislaturethe revenue laws were amended so as require all property delinquent for taxes to be sold to the State, instead of to private purchasera; as beretofore. Sec. 3785 ofthe Political Code, as amended, provides that ifthe property sold for taxes is not redeemed withinthe time allowed by lawfor its redemption,five years,the tax collector or his successor in office must makethe State a deed ofthe property.The section goes on furtherto provide that "in all cases where land has beretofore been sold tothe State for delinquent taxes,the deed therefor shall be made tothe State within one year after this act takeres effect,provided five yeas shall have clapsed afterthe dateofsuch sale." The provisions ofthe section quoted are mandatory,and as ministerial officers sworn to upholdthe lawthe tax collector and controller have no alternativebutto obeyits mandate. Mr. C. G. Strong, principal ofthe public schoolsat AndersonCal.,says: "Ihave used Chamberlain's Pain Balm and have found it an excellent remedy for lameness and slight wounds." Lameness usually results from a sprain, orther injury, or from rheumatism,forwhich Chamberlain's Pain Balm is especially intendedand unequalled.It affords almost immediate reliefand ina short time effectsa permanent cure.For sale by Derge.aug
