HIS MONEY AWAITS HIM.

James Russell Wanted to Claim Several
Bank Accounts.
An owner is wanted for moneys depos-
tied in the Sacramento Bank in this city,
and also in the Hibernia Bank, San Fran
cisco, and Los Angeles bank. The former
calls for 81 ,664 "a, the next for $2,123 AZ,
and the other for 1914 SO. 1t seems that
at the sale of unclaimed baggage of the
Western Hotel in August last, Frederick
Roab bought valise for 81 so, and among
the contents were bank books in the name
of James Russell showing these sums
The books have been placed in the hands
of G. T. Jones, who will make an effort to
find their owner. Russell is believed to
have been railroad employee when the de-
posts were made, which was in 1923, and
it may be that he has long been dead

PITCHER KNELL.
HE COULD NOT SAVE THE HOME CLUB
FROM DEFEAT.
Meegan Was a Surprise to the Sacra-
mentos, and the Visitors Won by
Score of Six to Two.

The ball game at Snowflake Park yester-
day resulted the usual way. The San
Franchises were too much for the tail-end-
ers, and won by score of six to two.
There was large Saturday audience in at
tendance, and it was the general opinion
that the Sacramentos would have a walk
over, with such man as Knell in the box.
The new pitcher was loudly applauded
as he appeared on the grounds. He prac-
ticed for while with Lehman, and it was
thought that he would prove a puzzler to
the visitors. He did prove himself a de-
ceptive pitcher, and only six hits were Sc
cured by the San Franchises, but he was
wild at times, and two wild pitches-one
in the first and one in the second inning
gave the visitors two of their runs. Knell

DOMned hv Garrnters-

About II o'clock last night some young
men who were in saloon at Third and L
streets heard an unearthly yell in the d.
rection of Third and NJ streets, and ran
there just in time to see a couple of men
run away from that vicinity. They found
a countryman there, however, who said
the men mad jumped on him from behind
a tree and struck him with club, with
the intention of robbing him. His yells
for help and the noise of approaching foot
steps had caused his assailants to take
flight before completing their job.

Robbed of Her Money.

The professional pickpocket does not ask
for any easier job than to steal woman's
purse, for, as rule, the merest novice can
empty her pocket of its contents without
being detected. Yesterday Mrs. McBurney,
who resides at 1014 Tenth street, went to
an auction with $40 in her pocket and an
infant in her arms. In about ten minutes
after her arrival she felt for her purse: and
it was gone. There was quite crowd of
people IN the salesroom, and the thief
found no difficulty in helping himself to

SEPTEMBER WEATHER.

Weather Comparisons Drawn from the
Records of Twelve Years.
The normal average temperature Tor this
month, as deduced from record of thirty
five years, is 600, while the mean tempera-
ture for the month under discussion is 72o,
or 80 above the average of many years.
The highest monthly mean temperature
for September was 74o, in 1888, and the
lowest was $50, in 1884. AS every one
knows, last year in September was the hot
test weather ever known so late in the year.
The normal precipitation fol- this month,
as deduced from a record of nearly forty
years, is IL of an inch. This month gave
more. The greatest rainfall in September
was one inch, in 1851 and the least appre-
cable precipitation was .01 of an inch, in
1867. There were twelve years out of
forty with but sprinkle for September,
and in fourteen there was no rain what
ever. The following gives the summary of
the different meteorological conditions for
each year for September, and is followed
by brief synopsis of the weather in vari-
Gus points in this State:

Deck-Hand Farrell, of the Steamer ia
cinto, Drowned Last Night.
A man informed the police last night
that deck-hand named Farrell, employed
on the steamer Jacinto, fell into the river
from the gang plank and drowned before
assistance could be rendered him. The &C.
cident occurred before the moon rose, and
the unfortunate passed out of sight almost
instantly in the darkness. The person who
reported the drowning said he knew Far
reils brother in San Francisco, and was
then looking for the telephone office in
order to send him word of the others

1t was so late at night when the fact of
the drowning became known that nobody
could be found who saw the man fall. or
knew anything about him, beyond the fact
that he was engaged on the steamer.

Annie PiIley and actresses of that order
have made popular. Indeed, with severe
restraint upon her disposition TO fall into
low comedy and burlesque, there is no res-
son Why Miss McHenry should not achieve
success in higher walks upon the stage
than she has heretofore attempted. For a
first performance the "Wildfiower" was
more than creditable, but the play will
never enjoy run" in its present form.
There is in the second and third acts lack
of situations" absence of the climax"
so essential to the sensational drama. 1t
has the skeleton for q successful play, but
it lacks the clothing of flesh and blood.

Cotton Can be Raised successfuIlv

James Rutherford and William Ford,
representing the California Cotton Mills
Company, of East Oakland, have been
making an investigation recently of Yolo
county soil, in the vicinity of Woodland,
with the view of interesting the farmers
in the cultivation of cotton. They had re-
ceived sample of cotton raised near
Woodland, by ]. r. Springer, and recog-
nlzing it to be of first quality in every re-
spect, concluded to make further inquiries.
They are coming up this way again soon,
and will take steps toward leasing several
farms and planting them with cotton.
The gentlemen are satisfied that as good
cotton can be raised in this section as can
be raised anywhere in the South.

Sacramento's Fine GRAPES,

]. E. Manlove, of Perkins, sends to this
office small box containing some abnor-
mally large specimens of Tokay grapes,
the largest measuring five and one-half
inches in circumference one way and four
and onequarter the other. These grapes
were raised without irrigation.
By the same train came box of Tokays
and two other varieties raised by Postmas-
ter r. d. Stephens in the same neighbor-
hood, and which were literally irrigated.
This fruit is also large juicy and of the
best flavor. Some of the punches weighed
about six pounds, and many of the grapes
looked like medium-sized plums This is
the kind of fruit that sells so well in the
East.

Shut-out at the Raw

Shut-out at the Bay.
SAN FRANCISCO, October 12th.-There was
one-sided game to-day between the Oak
lands and Stocktons. The former nine did
not find Harper hard to hit, while the
stocktons could not do anything at all
with Wehrle. The latter did not strike.out
many men, but was seldom hit outside the
infield. Smalley had most of the work on
his side, and took in all the chances.
Dooley played a great game at first. One
OF the features was Longs hitting. The
Stocktons had a narrow escape from q
shut-out, making one run in the eighth,
when Fudger hit for single. He was
forced out at second by Creamer's hit.
Creamer stole second and scored on Har-
per's single. Donahue was off on three de-
cisions on bases. Following is the score

THE HALpINE TORPEDO BOAT.

lFrom HarperS NeekiyJ
means of u storage battery contained
within itself. The force derived from
the battery is sufficient to make the boat
move from twelve to fourteen knots per
hour The torpedo boat is of copper,
cigar like in shape, length 90 feet and in
diameter "a inches. 1t carries a shell
feet long, Of 10 inches diameter, and
capable of holding 100 pounds of explo-
sive materials. The shell which the
torpedo boat carries can be made to
leave the apparatus at the will of the OPP
orator on the shore, or it is discharged
from the boat automatically when an
impediment is met with.
At the bow of the torpedo boat pro-
trudes short spar, which has javelin
head. When this head becomes entan-
glcd in the netting of man-of-war it i'm
parts a dip to the torpedo boat, and at
the same time fires the charge which
drives out the loaded shell. This shell
either explodes by contact or by means
of an electric battery within it. The
boat is independent of the projectile, and
is always under control by means of a
wire from the shore. After having sent
of its shell the boat returns to the point
of departure. In the trial recently in
the waters of New York bay the boat
was directed by means of single wire,
SO light that forty-fve pounds of it can
be extended to the length of mile. By
means of the controlling wire, il there
be netting around the object of attack,
as sool. as the shell is discharged the
boat ia made to back and return, This
was demonstrated at the public trial.
The boat can also be used to drop shells
in a channel, to remain unexploded until
connection is made between them and
the shore. The Halpine torpedo boat
shows admirably the rapid advance made

THE TABERNACLE.

fore the fire engines could arrive the
whole interior was roaring mass Of
fame, and by daylight there was moth
ing but glowing embers inclosed by what
remained standing Of the red hot walls
In the first fire the people saved most Of
the cushions, hymn books, etc, and they
are still kept as heirlooms, mementoes Of
that fire; but in this nothing whatever
was saved. When the first persons ar
rived the interior was already falling in.
Mr.. Talmage and several Of the trustees
arrived in time to witness the closing
destruction.
The organization to which DIR. Tai
mage ministers is officially styled the
Central Presbyterian church." and like
most of the Presbyterian churches Of
Brooklyn, had its origin by an agreed
separation from one Of the original
churches, as q regular system of separa-
ton and re-establishment grew up with
the rapid growth of the city. This So
ciety first worshiped in wooden build
ing on Willoughby street, near Pearl,
then moved to Schermerhorn street and
used small structure near where the
Tabernacle afterwards stood. In 1869
DIR. Talmage was called to be their pas
tor, from the Second Reformed church
in Philadelphia, to which he was then
minister; and thereafter the fame Of the
Central church grew rapidly, till it be-
came national, and, to some extent, in-
ternational. But one never heard the
name of the society; it was simply "Tal-
IMAGES church" that people heard Of,
read OF ~ith interest, and visited if they
got an opportunity. The new Taberna-
Gle was dedicated Feb. -, 1874, and was
then celebrated far and wide as "the
largest Protestant church in America. ="
