CASTS THE HOROSCOPE OF THE NEW ADMINISTRATION — EXCITING TIMES AHEAD FOR ALL OF US. St. Louis, February 25.—If the horoscope of the McKinley administration cast by Julius Erickson, a young astrologer of this city, is fulfilled the President-elect will have four years of marked excitement. Erickson, among other things, says: "If McKinley's inauguration takes place at 12:45 there will be grave danger of the country drifting into war. There will be cold comfort for the Democratic party in this because they will be unable to win four years hence. "The opponents of Major McKinley assert that the policy of the Administration will be decidedly in favor of trusts, corporations, plutocrats and money grabbers. I beg to differ with them. Astrological indications point to the contrary. In fact, there will be a general breaking up of plutocratic organizations, which will necessarily redo and to benefit of the masses. The Administration will be distinctly American and startling news may be ex- census on the order of their Coun-cils, and if the result shows 100,000 people they are to be considered cities of the first class. The bill was intended to extend the free delivery of mail in Los Angeles, as the postoffice department agreed to accept the result of such a census as a basis for increasing the service. The democrats were informed that on the taking of a census by order of the city council under that law and the establishment of the fact of 100,000 population Los Angeles would be legally a city of the first class, subject to the same municipal legislation as prevails regarding San Francisco, where the government has the power to appoint most of the commissions—such as those governing the police and fire departments, board of health and like. In brief, that all the legislation that has heretofore been adopted for San Francisco, which so far has been the only city of the first class, will also apply to Los Angeles. Senator Bulla was adroit enough to see this point, and to overcome it introduced a bill making a population of 200,000 requisite for cities of the first class. But if the governor refuses to sign this measure the Los Angeles city council, which is republican, will be obliged to refrain from causing the greatly needed improvement in the postal service, or will, by ordering the census, surrender the control of most of the municipal control to the democracy. This discovery has caused quite a stir among the democrats, and strong representations of the situation have been sent to the governor seeking to influence him to veto the second measure introduced by Bulla. JUDGE TOWNER ERRED BEING A STOCKHOLDER IN A SANTA ANA BANK, HE COULD NOT ENTER SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS: Capt. Janes, publisher of a Los Angeles weekly newspaper, was sentenced to three years in San Quintin for sending his obscene paper through the mails. Near Orange last week, Spencer Franklin, aged 76 years, while disceding from a load of orange fell, fracturing his hip bone. He was sent to a Los Angeles hospital for treatment. Robert Gardner, who claims he fasted for fifty-five days, was sent to Highlands Asylum from Los Angeles on Saturday. He is in a precarious condition and is not likely to regain the use of his digestive organs. A carload of oranges shipped by Geo. H. Bryan of Orange, by the Santa Fe route, were damaged by fire, while in transit, at Alburque que, and the damaged fruit was sold at that point by the railroad company. The loss will be made good by the railroad. The town of Perris was almost wiped out by fire that started in the livery barn of Davis & Co. early Friday morning. At the time of the fire a heavy north wind was blowing and for two hours the fire raged and for a while it was thought the whole of Perris was doomed to destruction. People commenced moving their household goods into the streets. At 3 o'clock the fire was got under control, but not until over $50,000 worth of damage was done. The postoffice and the Nance block which was a handsome block just completed, were among the buildings destroyed. The burned district comprises the entire business portion of the town. The fire is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. Ernest Hearne, nephew of millionaire Moses Payne, and up t There will be cold comfort for the Democratic party in this because they will be unable to win four years hence. "The opponents of Major McKinley assert that the policy of the Administration will be decidedly in favor of trusts, corporations, plutocrats and money grabbers. I beg to differ with them. Astrological indications point to the contrary. In fact, there will be a general breaking up of plutocratic organizations, which will necessarily rebound to the benefit of the masses. The Administration will be distinctly American and startling news may be expected from Washington from March 18th to 20th. Martial men and martial measures will be to the fore. "I think we will have considerable excitement this coming year and plenty in Illinois, and I fear the latter part of this year and the first of next will witness stirring scenes in the prairie State. "Congress will incline to act harmoniously and I think the annexation spirit will be strongly developed. It is doubtful whether we will have the prosperous times that have been promised us at once within six months, but the indications point to a prosperous administration in the long run." ATE TOADSTOOLS. One Man and Two Children Dead, and Others May Follow. Monestro, Feb. 26.—As a result of eating toadstools by mistake for mushrooms, John W. Watts lies dead at his place and P. J. Roquet is nearly at death's door at Lagrange. Watts is a saloon-keeper and Roquet a barber. They gathered what they supposed to be a mess of mushrooms and cooked and ate them at Watts' place of business. They were toadstools, and both men were taken sick. Roquet immediately employed the services of a physician, Watts refusing to believe he needed a doctor. Last night Watts died in great agony, while Roquet hovers between life and death. Watts leaves a widow and child. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.—Richard Pastine, an Italian, went out to the Golden Gate Park Wednesday afternoon and picked a mess of mushrooms. He and his wife and four children partook of them for supper. Two of the children are dead and the rest of the family are in a dangerous condition. The mushrooms turned out to be toadstools, and Thursday morning the entire family was very ill. Doctors were called in, but too late to save the lives of the two young boys. Pastine and his wife and two children are in a dangerous condition, but will probably recover. The Pastine family had more mushrooms than they could consume, so they sent some to a neighbor. Fortunately the neighbor did not use them Wednesday night and Thursday morning he was warned by the sickness of the Pastine family. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.—Richard Pastini, the head of the family that caused the greatly needed improvement in the postal service, or will, by ordering the census, surrender the control of most of the municipal control to the democracy. This discovery has caused quite a stir among the democrats, and strong representations of the situation have been sent to the governor seeking to influence him to veto the second measure introduced by Bulla. JUDGE TOWNER ERRED BEING A STOCKHOLDER IN A SANTA ANA BANK, HE COULD NOT ENTER JUDGMENT FOR IT UNDER FORE-CLOURRE. An opinion was rendered by Superior Judge York in Los Angeles last week, in the case of E. E. Keech, as assignee, in the insolvency of John Beatty, Jr., and Robert Beatty, partners, doing business as Beatty Bros., against the First National Bank of Santa Ana and M. M. Crookshank, who purchased the Beatty stock at Sheriff's sale. Two suits were brought against Beatty Bros. for foreclosure. One of the actions was brought by the First National Bank of Santa Ana, and the other by Richard Beatty. In both cases judgment was ordered for the plaintiff, and the store owned by Beatty Bros. was sold by the Sheriff to M. M. Crookshank. E. E. Keech instituted suit against the bank, and the purchaser of the property, to have the judgment set aside and the sale annulled on the ground that the presiding judge (Judge Towner) was a stockholder in the bank and therefore had no jurisdiction in the matter. Judge York held that the judgment in the case of the First National Bank vs. John Beatty, Jr., was void because the judge who presided at the time the judgment was entered was a stockholder in the corporation, and that the judgment is subject to collateral attack. Section 170, C.C.P., prohibits a judge from sitting or acting in a proceeding to which he is a party or in which he is interested. While the judgment was fair upon its face, it was rendered without the presence of a judge authorized to act, because of this inhibition. "The sale of the property, for the conversion of which the plaintiff, as assignee in insolvency, asks judgment," continues Judge York, "was sold by the Sheriff of Orange county, catensibly under and by virtue of two executions placed in his hands only two minutes apart, one of which was void, the other valid. The property sold for less than sufficient to pay the valid judgment. "I hold that one of the executions being void, the sale was, in law, made under the valid execution only; that the Sheriff conveyed to Crookshank, the purchaser at the sale, a good title to the property in question; that the Sheriff received the proceeds of the sale in trust for Richard Beatty, the owner of the valid execution; that in the payment of a portion of the proceeds of the causing the greatly needed improvement in the postal service, or will, by ordering the census, surrender the control of most of the municipal control to the democracy. This discovery has caused quite a stir among the democrats, and strong representations of the situation have been sent to the governor seeking to influence him to veto the second measure introduced by Bulla." ERNEST Hearne, nephew of millionaire Moses Payne, and up to the present time manager of the extensive ranch owned by his uncle was shot and killed at Payne, Nebula on Saturday night as the result of a quarrel over some slighting remarks she latter had made regarding Miss Jennie Nix, a school teacher with whom Hearne had been keeping company. Chapman refused to make the apology demanded and Hearne became angry and reached for his revolver, but Chapman, divining his intentions, grabbed his gun and sent a bull into the head of his would-be aid saillant. Chapman surrendered. A dispatch from Havana says that it is learned on the very highest authority that Captain-Generals Weyler has forwarded his resignation to the Spanish government at Madrid. The Captain-General is said will leave the island as soon as possible, probably in about three weeks. This decisive step General Weyler determined to take as soon as he heard of the release of Julian Sanguilly. The Captain-Generals said he would resign if the crowd interfered with his policy with regard to prisoners, especially Americans, and he was incensed beyond measure at being ignored in their negotiations carried on by their Spanish government in the case of notable captive, Sanguilly, who was released on Friday. It is reported that General Ramon Blanco Aronas, the Marquis of Pena Plata may be appointed to succeed Gerald Weyler. A terrible mining catastrophe occurred at the Sombrerete mine near Zacatecas, occasioned by the breakout out of fire in the workings on the mine in which seventy-five miners were employed. Every effort was made to save the men, and fresh air was forced into all those workings by great steam ventilationors and water was turned down their main shaft in torrents, but it is believed that every miner is dead. Two bodies have been gotten out and Superintendent Kayster nearly perished in an effort to save these men, being brought upthe shaft suffocated by smoke. The principal shaft is 3300 feet deep and is rescuing party went to the bottom but were nearly suffocated by smoke.

The captain-General is said will leave turned out to be toadstools, and Thursday morning the entire Pastine family was very ill. Doctors were called in, but too late to save the lives of the two young boys. Pastine and his wife and two children are in a dangerous condition, but will probably recover. The Pastine family had more mushrooms than they could consume, so they sent some to a neighbor. Fortunately the neighbor did not use them Wednesday night and Thursday morning he was warned by the sickness of the Pastine family. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.—Richard Pastini, the head of the family that was poisoned by eating mushrooms, has become insane through grief, and has to be watched to prevent him from killing himself. He tried to shoot himself to-day, but the pistol was taken away from him. Pastini, his wife and one child will recover but the oldest son will die. Two of the children died yesterday. The mushrooms that proved to be such deadly poison have been classed by botanists as a member of the animata species known as the spring mushroom. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.—The Pastini family has yielded its third victim to the deadly toadstool. Attillo, a son, after suffering for hours all the tortures of poisoning has been placed in a coffin alongside his dead little brothers. The little fellow died early this morning. The father is out of danger from the poison, although grave fears are entertained that he may yet attempt his life, so convulsed is he with grief and remorse. Mrs. Pastini, who was thought on Saturday night to have overcome the effects of the poison, took a little turn for the worse to-day after the death of her third son. The little girl, Aida, is still somewhat dazed and feeble. The sidewalk in front of the house was crowded all day with anxious friends waiting for news from the family. NEW CENSUS LAW. Possible Results to Follow the Enactment of the Law Authorizing Cities to Take Account of Population. Assembly bill 128, which is now a law, authorizes cities to take a ostensibly under and by virtue of two executions placed in his hands only two minutes apart, one of which was void, the other valid. The property sold for less than sufficient to pay the valid judgment. "I hold that one of the executions being void, the sale was, in law, made under the valid execution only; that the Sheriff conveyed to Crookshank, the purchaser at the sale, a good title to the property in question; that the Sheriff received the proceeds of the sale in trust for Richard Beatty, the owner of the valid execution; that in the payment of a portion of the proceeds of the sale to the First National Bank of Santa Ana, the Sheriff did not take the sum from the defendants nor from the assignee in insolvency. It follows that neither the defendant in the actions nor the plaintiff, as assignee in insolvency, have been injured by defendants in the acts proven herein, and, hence, that plaintiff should not recover in this action."

An insulting remark addressed by a young man to a young lady at a dancing party at Tancol near Victoria, Mex., led to a desperate fight between the men at the dance. Ten men were killed in the room and fifteen others seriously wounded. The desperate fighters used knives, pistols and clubs, and the affair lasted until the ones still uninjured were completely exhausted or killed. A number of those killed and wounded were highly respected young men. How's this? We offer one hundred dollars for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. F. J.

Wholesale fruit dealers in New York report considerable improvement in business for the past week as compared with the previous week. This is attributed to the prevalence of fine mild weather permitting free shipment and display of fruit, which were prevented by the cold and stormy weather over two weeks ago. California naval and seedling oranges advanced 10 to 15 cents per box. A carload of oranges and grape-fruit contributed by the growers of the Pacific slope for the benefit of the Armenian relief fund was sold for $135 to $710 per box for oranges, and $10 to $10 per box of grapefruit. The net amount realized for the relief fund was over $1000. Fancy naval are getting scarce, and the average price for them is $425 to $450 Florida oranges are in limited supply and command from $350 to $50 per box. Recent advices indicate that the next crop of Floridas will be nearly twice as large as the present one, or about 400,000 boxes, which will still be only about one-tenth of the crop which was destroyed in the blizzard of 1895. SHOTS AT THE NEWS. Janes, publisher of a Los weekly newspaper, was sent three years in San Quintin bending his obscene paper on the mails. Orange last week, Spencer, aged 76 years, while depriving from a load of oranges, instructing his hip bone. He met to a Los Angeles hospitalament. Gardner, who claims he for fifty-five days, was sent lands Asylum from Los Anzib Saturday. He is in a precondition and is not likely to use of his digestive load of oranges shipped by Bryan of Orange, by the route, were damaged by fire in transit, at Alburquerque; the damaged fruit was sold jointly by the railroad company. Will be made good by the town of Perris was almost at by fire that started in the barn of Davis & Co. early Friday. At the time of the navy north wind was blowing, two hours the fire raged and it was thought the whole was doomed to destruct-people commenced moving household goods into the At 3 o'clock the fire was over control, but not until over worth of damage was done. Office and the Nance block, was a handsome block just used, were among the build-destroyed. The burned district was the entire business portion down. The fire is supposed been of incendiary origin. H. P. Cook, a one-armed confederate veteran who resides in Atlanta, Ga., sent word to his wife, from whom he had parted on bad terms a few days ago, that he was dying and begging her to come to his bedside. She complied with his request and as she leaned over his prostrate form he suddenly arose in bed and made a lunge at his wife's throat with an open clasp knife. The knife sank into the woman's neck just below the jugular vein and made a gash six inches long under the chin. The woman's chances for recovery are slight. "Big Jim," a prominent San Francisco Chinese, has been obliged to fly secretly from that city to avoid the vengeance of the Sam Yup highbinders, who have vowed to kill him in reprisal for the death of "Little Pete." Pete was supposed to have been killed by See Yups, to which tong Jim belongs. Jim has been disposing of his affairs for several days, and with two checks, each for $50,000, escaped to Victoria, B.C., where he embarked for China on the steamer sailing Friday. The front portion of John J. Becker's saloon in National City was blown out early Friday morning by a stick of dynamite which had been placed under the floor. The proprietor and family were asleep at the time in the back part of the house upstairs, a two-story frame. None of the family were injured. The damage to the building is slight. An attempt was made some time ago to burn the saloon, and Becker thinks the attempt to wreck it with dynamite was made by the same party. The attempt was bunglingly made, and was evidently the work of a novice. Representative Sulzer of New York has introduced a bill in the House declaring war between Spain and her colonies and the United States. The bill provides that war be declared to money and forwarded it to Treasurer Morgan. The latter had the case examined and found the facts to be as stated. Accordingly $210 in crisp, new bank notes were sent to the cattle dealer to replace the money masticated by his calf. The steamer Queen, on her last trip north from Santa Barbara, had among its passengers an eloping couple from Los Alamos, Nellie Leslie, aged 16, and Raymond Cook, the Southern Pacific agent at that town. After the steamer was well out to sea the elopers asked Capt. Anderson to marry them, but on account of the girl's youth he refused. On the arrival of the steamer at San Francisco the couple were taken into custody, and the would-be bride's father arrived upon the scene by train. Thinking the affair had already gone too far for interference, the father gave his consent to the issuance of a marriage license, and the elopers were wedded and are now doing quite well. John T. Gaffey, Collector of the Port at San Pedro, is at the head of a syndicate which has bonded large tracts in and around the town. Gaffey's company has also procured a franchise to operate an electric street railway in the town and a city water system. These things indicate that Senator White, who is said to be backing the enterprises, from Washington, is not averse to turning a penny to good account, for it is believed that White himself is financially interested in all the operations wherein Gaffey is now so prominent, and that the reports that have come from Washington to the effect that San Pedro would be selected as the site for the deep water harbor are held by them as indicating a final decision of the commission favorable to San Pedro.

Representative Sulzer of New York has introduced a bill in the House declaring war between Spain and her colonies and the United States. The bill provides that war be declared to exist between the Kingdom of Spain and her colonies and the United States of America and their Territories, and that the President is authorized to use the whole land and naval force of the United States to carry the same into effect and to issue to private armed vessels of the United States commissions or letters of marque and general reprisal in such form as he shall think proper, and under the seal of the United States, against the vessels, goods and effects of the government of said Kingdom of Spain and the subjects thereof. The discovery of an amethyst seal ring in the show window of a pawnshop at Portland, Or., led to the reunion of a brother and sister who had not seen or heard of each other in twenty years. Mrs. S. E. Carrington of Cambridge, Mass., arrived in Portland on a visit to friends, prior to her leaving for Southern California in search of health. While walking on the streets one day her attention was drawn to a pawnbroker's shop. There she saw a ring which struck her as being one she had seen before, and she asked to inspect it. The request was granted, and to her amazement she found engraved on the inside of the ring, "E.W.S., from Mother." She was prepared to redeem it at once, but the broker declined in the absence of the pawn ticket. The ring was pawned by the woman's brother, and obtaining his address, at Sacramento, she wired him, and obtaining an answer left immediately to join him. The brig Percy Edwards cleared last week from San Francisco for Tahiti, and on her goes the United States brotherhood of the South Sea islands. The brig goes to Tahiti, and will sail thence wherever the fancy of those on board dictates. The expedition was brought about by the publication of a story to the effect that on St. John's island, in the South Seas, were a number of dusky women who were pining for husbands. All the men had been killed in war, and the women were lonely. A company was organized to go to the relief of the dusky damsels, and on board the Edwards are 97 men who sigh for the tropical clime and the easy life in the South seas. It has since developed that the Adamless Eden story is a myth, but the company determined to go. Each man contributed one hundred dollars to a common fund. The old whaling brig Edwards was bought and provisioned, and on Thursday the expedition started. The men are provided with agricultural implements, and several trades are ran. Mrs. Jennie F. Abell of Baltimore, widow of George W. Abell, former publisher of the Sun of that city, was married to William R. Duke, who until recently was a bicycle instructor at one of the establishments in the same town, but has within a year opened an establishment of his own. Mrs. Abell is a rich woman of 45 years, while Duke is 25. The Abells were opposed to the marriage and brought every influence to bear to prevent it, securing even the intercession of Cardinal Gibbons. Mrs. Abell, however, resisted all persuasion. In the Sun, which is still being conducted by the Abell family, appeared the following: "To-day the wedding of Mrs. Jane F. Abell and W. B. Duke is expected to take place at Towson. Mrs. Abell is the widow of George W. Abell, who died May I, 1894. Mr. Duke is a bicycle teacher, and about twenty years her junior. No member of the Abell family will present at the ceremony." The character of the announcement created a good deal of comment everywhere. The wedding took place in the Sisters' Chapel of the Roman Catholic Church at Towson. Miss Jennie Abell, daughter of the bride, was present. Mrs. Duke's acquaintance with her husband began a little over a year ago when she determined to ride a bicycle. He was her teacher. A number of Baltimore fruit-packers who were tried for violating the State canned-goods label law by selling Maryland peaches in cans bearing labels indicating that the fruit was packed in California, were found guilty and will no doubt be severely punished. Those convicted are the Gibbs Preserving Company, James and Leander Langrall, trading as Langrall Bros.; George W. Moore and James H. Brady, trading as Moore & Brady, and Burdette Farren, trading as J. S. Farren & Co.; Harry N. Brown, a detective, was the only witness against the fraudulent packers. He testified to having gone to the business places of the packers at different times in October last, representing himself as a country merchant who desired Maryland peaches packed in cans bearing California labels. He purchased from each of four firms on October 12 five cases of peaches on which were placed labels purporting that they had been packed in California. "Mr. Moore, Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Farren," said he, "each told me they kept California labels in stock." Several cans of peaches bought from Baltimore packers and bearing California labels were shown to the jury. California fruit men are at the bottom of the prosecution.

Resale fruit dealers in New York considerable improve- business for the past week, prepared with the previousThis is attributed to the face of fine mild weather, being free shipment and dis- fruit, which were prevented cold and stormy weather of weeks ago. California navel calling oranges advanced 10 cents per box. A carload of grape-fruit contributed growers of the Pacific slope benefit of the Armenian re- od was sold for $1 35 to our box for oranges, and $9 per box of grapefruit. The count realized for the relief was over $1000. Fancy navels long scarce, and the average them is $4 25 to $4 50. Oranges are in limited supp- command from $3 50 to our box.

The old whaling brig Edwards was bought and provisioned, and on Thursday the expedition started. The men are provided with agricultural implements, and several trades are represented. They will look for some uninhabited isle, and when they find it they propose to settle down to a life of ease. United States Treasurer Morgan received a little wooden box from Texas containing a wad of what appeared to be fragments of United States bills at his office in Washington the other day. Later in the day a letter from J. Blacingame of a small towne near Galveston, Tex., arrived at the Treasury Department which explained the contents of the box. The wad of green paper was all that was left of $210 owned by Mr. Blacingame, which he rescued from the stomach of a yearling calf. The Texan recently sold a herd of cattle, for which he received $470 in bills—one $100, one $50, and sixteen $20's. He placed the money in an ordinary memorandum pocketbook, but the bills were in such a position that the ends stuck beyond the edge of the book. Blacingame carelessly threw his coat on the ground, and a yearling coming along saw the green bills and proceeded to devour them. The animal took in the entire bunch at one mouthful and was discovered in the act of chewing Blacingame's $470. The Texan, with the assistance of his brother, succeeded in recovering from the mouth of the calf thirteen of the $20 bills in a comparatively uninjured condition. This money was afterward passed off by Blacingame in payment of some cattle. The calf was shortly killed and from its stomach was taken a mass of chewed bills, stained and discolored. The fragments were boxed up and sent to the redemption division of the Treasury Department. Blacingame prepared a sworn statement of the disappearance of his times in October last, representing himself as a country merchant who desired Maryland peaches packed in cans bearing California labels. He purchased from each of four firms on October 12 five cases of peaches on which were placed labels purporting that they had been packed in California. "Mr. Moore, Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Farren," said he, "each told me they kept California labels in stock." Several cans of peaches bought from Baltimore packers and bearing California labels were shown to the jury. California fruit men are at the bottom of the prosecution. They employed detectives to find out who were violating the law, as their business is being injured. The penalty is a fine of from $50 to $100 for each offense. The feature of the session of the House of Representatives at Washington, one day last week, was the appearance of William J. Bryan, late Democratic candidate for president, upon the floor. He arrived at the capital to attend a dinner given in his honor by John R. McLean of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and as an ex-member was entitled to the privilege of the floor. He came into the hall with Mr. McMillin of Tennessee, Mr. Maguire of California, Mr. Sulzer of New York and ex-Congressman George F. Williams of Massachusetts. He was immediately escorted to the cloak room, where he divested himself of his overcoat, his entrance not having been generally observed. His presence soon became noised about, however. The Democratic members deserted their seats and hurried to greet him.After a few minutes he emerged and walked calmly down the aisle to his old seat, near the center aisle.The Democrats gave him a round of applause, the people in the galleries craned their necks and took up the demonstration. There were several wild shouts.Many of the Republicans joined in the welcome to their old colleague.The confusion became so great that Speaker Reed was forced to call the house to order.After a few minutes Bryan made his way back of the rail which divides the seats from the lobby around the speaker's rostrum, where he shook hands with the speaker.The galleries again joined in a noisy demonstration.
