The Pacific coast is fast gaining favor as a
winter resort. The southern half of Cali
fornia possesses winter climate that is not
equalled in any part of the globe for salu-
brity and equality of temperature. The
@raIny seaso,.," ;" so called, SO far from being
unpleasant, has more cloudless days than
New England has in a whole year, and
serves to freshen foliage and flowers, which
everywhere abound. At Monterey, Santa
Monica and elsewhere on the coast, surf
bathing is INDUCED In during all the winter
months. Fresh fruits and vegetables may
be eaten at Christmas. Messrs. Raymond
& Whitcomb will take out two parties to
California for the coming season. One will
leave Philadelphia October IS and the other
December 81. Two months will be passed
at the elegant and fashionable Hotel del
Monte, Monterey, the most luxurious
waterlng-place hotel in America, and then
Santa Barbara, San Diego, Santa M1nico,
Riverside, the Sierra Madre Villa at San
Gabriel, Cotton, San Francisco, or any other
places of attraction and resort, may be Wis
tied, according to individual choice. Ample
time Is afforded for seeing the sights of the
Pacific coast, and the traveller can return
when he pleases, thus making bis stay long
or short to suit his convenience. A circu-
lar, giving full details of these novel trips,
may be had by addressing H. f. Shields,

THE RUMoEED BREAK.

A Rumor That is Causing Considerable
Speculation Among Match Dealers
whsr Thsy say at the ONCE In This
City.
The following dispatch published In the
morning papers has oceasioned consider
able furry among the wholesale dealers In
matches
stMILwAUKEE, Sept. 20.-The Diamond
Match Company, one of the largest concerns
of the kind In the country, owning factories at
Oshkosh and elsewhere, has issued a price list
making sweeping reduction in the whole
sale prices of matches. The reduction is
over so per cent. Matches which have been
selling for $5. 10 per case now sell for $3.50
and SASS, with discounts to large purchasers.
The conclusion reached is that the great
match combination has been broken"
To verify the truthfulness of the report a
representative of the GAZETTE called at the
main office of the Diamond Match
Company in this city this morning and, upon
inquiry, found that the president of the
ompany, William H. Swift, was out of the
city and was not expected home until this
evening Those In charge knew nothing
about the mater, but were of the opinion
that 1t was mere newspaper talk.

Death Of a Former wrmlnrton Lady.


Mrs. E. &. Upham, the mother of Mrs
Colonel George II. Raymond, of this town,
died at her residence in Milwaukee, Wis,
on Sunday the 9th inst, aged 6S years, one
month and one day. Mrs. Upham was a
Delawarean, daughter of DR.. Jaques, a
prominent physician of Wilmington. Her
husband Hon. D. A. J. Upham was when a
young man, for a time, editor of the
DelaWare Gazette of Wilmington, but
concluded to try his fortunes In the
west and went to Milwaukee In 1887, then
a frontier town of 700 inhabitants, which
has since grown to 1875, 900. Mrs. Upham
followed him two years later, and the lives
of both from that time were thoroughly
identified with it's history. In addition to
other Offices of trust and honor he filled were
those of United States District Attorn' y,
Mayor, member of the Constitutional Con
vention of which he was chosen president
and was also elected Governor OF the State
Their union was blest by 10 children, five oi
whom are now living, two boys and three
girls, all of whom are grown. Tht
Oldest son, Major John j. Upham o.
the Fifth United States cavalry, wal
born In Wilmington. He is now with hi
command, Fort Leayensworth, Kansas. Hi
youngest son, Horace A. ]. Upham, Esq, ii
lawyer, practicing his profession In his ma
tive city. The Oldest daughter, Caroline j..
as above stated, is Mrs. Raymond, of thi
town; the second, Addie j., married Mr.
Il. B. Taylor, Chester, Pa; the next, Salii
j., George B. Ransom, oil the United State
| Navy, now on his way to Alaska. Success
crowned them financially as well as politi
cally and socially, and the parents left fo
their children large estate.

Contradictory Testimony Before the Cor

Contradictory Testimony Before the Cor
oner's Jury in the Stevenson Drowning
Case, Last Evening.
The Coroner's jury empanelled to investi-
gate the death OF Samuel Stevenson, the
well-known blind colored man who was
drowned at Third street bridge on Sunday
last, met last evening and heard the testi
mony OF Captain Bareford, George W..
Kelley, David Hammond, Officer White,
Eliza, Mary and Matilda Stevenson, mother
and sistera of the deceased and Thomas Lee,
his brother-in-law. The testimony was so
conflicting that the jury were unable to
come to any conclusion and decided
to adjourn until Sunday afternoon at
O'Clock in order to allow the Coroner to in
vestigate the case further and procure wit
nesses who saw the dead man going toward
the bridge, and others to testify as to the
whereabouts of Kelley, concerning whom
the testimony 10 conflicting. Kelley testi-
fed that Stevenson climbed down on the
pier and jumped off, after which he, the wit
ness, without any attempt at rescue went to
call Captain Bareford and afterwafd mott
fed Officer White The latter stated that
he notified the Mayor, Chief of Police and
Charles E. Sparks. The relatives of the de-
ceased seem inclined to discredit the state
ments Of Kelley and maintain that the blind
man was OF q very happy disposition and
had nothing to cause him to commit suicide.
They declare that his death was either the
result OF accident or foul play.
