Three 10 one against the WOsk'
tuuusps-s Vtcket.

kearney and Wellock 1ncendlary
agitators have been in this city
since Monday night interfering in
the contest for city officers, which
took place to-day. The election
was the most exciting one ever
held in this city. Every taxpayer
the result was that a very large
vote was polled and the election OF
the Citizens ticket entire by an
overwhelming Majority. AS far as
counted the vote runs three for the
Citizens to one for the Working
mems ticket. The majority will
be nearly 400 out of 500 votes
polled. Kearney went to Heads
burg to-day. Wellock put in an ap-
pearance at the polls this morning
and for while made himself Of
ficious as a ticket peddler and
talker and when q voter protested
against the interference of an alien
with our local affairs and called
for a show of hands of all who were
in favor of his leaving, "peacea-
bly, if he will, forcibly il
he must" Immediately several
hundred hands went up, and Wei
lock left the polls. The last heard
from him he was two miles from
the town, footing it for the sand
lots in San Francisco. Our business
men appreciated the Importance Of
maintaining law and order, and
tonight are jubilant over the VIC
tory won.
The More Murder-Gre.t Excite
ment in Regard {" the Accused
McCars re-arressed.
SAN BUENA VENTURA, April s.
The excitement regarding the ar
rest OF the men accused of the More
murder is on the increase to-day.
Chas. Mozart, the man arrested
and discharged by order of the
Grand Jury year ago on the same
charge, was re arrested by Sheriff
Miller about thirty miles from
here. The sick man heretofore al.
luded to as having made an ante
norton statement, has been
brought to town and will, If able,
appear In Court on Friday to testi-
fy. There is no suspicion that he
was connected with the murder, so
that his evidence, il given, must
consist of matters learned after the
affair. The prisoners maintain
their innocence and ignorance of
the whole affair aud some of them
will offer to prove by their wives
and children that they were at
home all of the fatal night. Nc
Cart, the last one arrested, slept
that night in the house of
Churchill, another of the prisoners.
Charles McCart, arrested this fore
noon, demanded an immediate eX-
animation this evening, but JUS
tice Carlton ordered him to be COM
mitted to Jail until Monday, when
the other prisoners will also be
called up.
1t is raining heavily this evening
with slight southwest wind. the
grain crops are so forward and
heavy that very little rain will
lodge great quantities, particularly
Of barley.

Terrific Hail Storni.
SAN JOSE, April 3d.-The heav.
lest and most destructive hail storm
ever remembered in this section
passed over the city about $50 p
NJ. The first Indications of its com
ing was noticed in insignificant
flashes and gathering blackness
in the southwark about p. NJ. to-
day, the weather previously hav-
ing been clear and warm. The
storm approached with great swift
ness, the flashes growing so fire.
quent as to seem to be n corrusca-
ton OF fire. Twenty minutes after
the first cloud speck, the sky
was entirely overcast and the
thunder one continuous rumble
Just then few scattering balls OF
hail, averaging the size of marbles,
told what was coming. The hail
descended with O rush and for q
few minutes the scene was indie
scribable. The stones averaged be-
tween three-elghths and one inch
in diameter. The hail lasted about 20
minutes and was followed by heavy
rain for about five minutes.
During that time the street cutters
were filled to level with the side
walks, and in many places these
were flooded. In the office of the
American District Telegraph Com
pany the fire danced alb out the in.
struments until it was determined
to detach them for their safety.
The storm was so sudden that
many of the water pipes were
bursted. 1t is believed the storm
has caused considerable damage to
the fruit and strawberry crops.
Your reporter has had his atten-
ton called to several fruit trees at
nursery depots that have had
nearly all the budding fruit cut off.
1t is also believed that much of the
advanced heavy grain has been
beaten down. The sky is clearing
off and it IL probable the storm is
over.
