FREE METHODIST cAMp.MEET1NG.
The Sixth Annual Convention Held in
Cogumnes Vallev

The Sixth Annual Convention Held in
Costumes Valley.
The sixth annual camp-meeting of the
Free Methodist Church was held in the
Costumes valley, on the ranch of William
Dixon, converting on the 18th of September
and holding over two Sundays. The meet
ing was not held in the same grove used
last year, but in the beautiful grove OF
oaks just across the river from the Cosum.
mes Postotfice, where the NJ. E. Church OF
lone held camp meeting thirty years ago.
The Committee of Arrangements are under
obligations to Mr.. Dixon for the change, as
this grove is central and much more conve-
nient for the purpose than the one used
last year.
Those present from distant places were
Rev. D. 6. Shepard, of San Jose; Rev. G.
ii. LOOMS, of San Francisco, and DR.. At
well and wife, of Suffer. The audiences
on each occasion were large, filling the
large Oakland tabernacle, while a large
number who could not find seats stood out
side. The results of the meeting were
far greater than last year, there being about
double the number converted. There was
no excitement or loud demonstrations
among the converts, but radical turning
away from sin. Men that had not looked
in Bible for years left the meeting with
out word, and went home and estab.
lished the family altar.
The Sacrament of the Lords Supper was
administered to about seventy five persons
on the last Sunday morning of the meeting,
most of them living in the vicinity. The
principal feature of the meeting was the
young folks meeting held on the last Sun
day, which was led by H. G. Antrim, of
San Jose, and in which about twenty-five
or thirty young persons took part.

Alaska Furs.

A correspondent, writing from Sitka,
Alaska, remarks: awhile otter, mink, red
fox, cross fox, blue fox, white fox, brown,
grizzly and black bear and beaver are all
found here, you cannot get skins for moth
ing. The Indians have been so deceived
by the whites that they now ask big prices
Just about three times as much as fair
offer-and 1t therefore takes a trader to
deal with them. Bear skins, which are
just now in fashionable demand, bring $40
for cub skin and S35 to $40 for a full
grown skin of fine quantity. Sea otter,
which belong almost exclusively to the
Northern Pacific Ocean, bring from $3.50
to $500 and $500 apiece, according to size
and quality. These prices, it must be re-
membered, are for the skins in an I'M
dressed state, and the slightest carelessness
on the part of the fur dresser may ruin a
valuable skin. The sea otter is one of the
most valuable of all furs, ranking close to
sable and black fox. 1t is used extensively
by Russia and by the Japanse Court. Very
pretty robes are made in Alaska of lynxes'
feet and foxes feet, and an exquisite robe
as soft as swans down is made by the In
dams of breasts of eagles"

ice, it will be news to the people of the
United States. The truth is that there Is
no pressure of public opinion adverse to
the position of the Central American
Minister. Outside of the Herald and three
or four others there has not even been
press expression antagonizing the Minis
ter's action. The Henal9s special adds
that the reason to be given to the Minister
for his removal will be that he has not acted
with tact and diplomatic skill In the Bar
rundia affair. Ifthat is true in the opinion
of the President and the Secretary of State
they will al least be respected for the cour-
age of their convictions, and the people
will acquiesce in their judgment. But the
HerdlFs statement is that this is to be an
excuse, the real reason being the pressure"
of public opinion. We cannot think for
moment that President Harrison would be
guilty of acting in the manner the Herald
charges-to believe that is to consider him
cowardly.
THE outcome of the battle the author
tiles at the barge office in New York will
to-day begin against the Mormons will be
awaited with much interest. A colony of
young women from various points in
Europe is expected to arrive to-day, en-
route for Salt Lake City, as Mormon con-
verts. The proposal is to detain them, on
the grounds that they are being imported
as recruits for the Mormon system of
polygamy. Of course, the hope is enter
tanned by all decent people that in the
coming struggle the authorities may prove
successful, and these importations of women
for Mormon harems may be broken up.
But we confess to great doubt concerning
the matter. These people come out with
some means. They are not paupers, nor of
the criminal class, nor are they likely to
become public charges. They have the
right to entertain any religious belief they
choose, and their freedom of conscience
cannot be interfered with. The mere fact
that they are converts to the faith of the
Church of the Latter-Day Saints cannot
be legal ground for stopping them on their
journey. If the Government may check
the immigration Of the deyotees of one
faith, it may stop the incoming of the peo-
pie of another, and all other faiths. 1t will
be necessary, therefore, in all probability,
to establish that these women are coming
to Salt Lake for criminal purpose, to en-
ter polygamous state in violation of the
laws of the United States. The Assistant
United States Attorney is quoted as say
ing that the Treasury regulations are
amply sufficient to exclude these people.
The test will therefore be made upon
these regulations, and it will be a contest
bitter and long.

W. D. HowELLs Is reported by the dis
patches as saying that he does not find Of
tense in the Kreutzer Sonata. He admits
that it is book for adults, and not for
youths, but still, should the latter read it,
''they will get from it lesson in the direc-
ton of purity and good living" Is Mr..
Howells, as well as Tolstoi, senile and
soured? The book is brutal in conception,
and a libel upon humanity in execution.
If to such works we must go for lessons of
purity and good living" the age of litera-
ture has been deceit and the right train
ing Of youth that the world of men has
been taught, is a delusion and snare.
Whoever reads the snarl of the decrepit
and dyspeptic Tolstoi, and does not for the
sake of wife, mother and sister, if not for
his own manhood, feel angered and out
ragged, is sadly lacking in genuine sensi-
bility.

Mr.. PowDERLY has denounced the con-
fessions of the New York train wreckers
as bogus. Every one should wish this
statement to be true. But one of the men
making confession adhered to it in open
Court, and he pleaded guilty. OF course
there is a possibility that this was done to
secure immunity from punishment as a
witness for the prosecution. But it is
not usual for innocent men to admit
their guilt of an infamous crime, even
under the persuasions OF detectives. 1t
remains that though one of the confessing
men has withdrawn his plea of guilty, and
has entered a plea of not guilty, the
Knights of Labor owe it 10 the country
to manifest especial activity in probing
these train wreeking cases to the bottom,
and rendering all possible aid to the au-
thorities in pushing the guilty.

THE Supreme Court of Minnesota has
decided question that has been one of
doubt in commercial circles. 1t holds
that the giving of a check on bank is not
payment; that payment is accomplished
only when the money the check calls for
is actually handed over to the holder. The
court holds that there is no presumption
that when the creditor takes the check he
accepts it in payment, but on the contrary
the acceptance is conditional; that is, that
it is recognized by the bank and is paid on
presentation, The court holds further
that if the check is dishonored the lien Of
the seller for the purchase money for the
goods remains, and he may retake the
property for such purchase money.

THE New York Herald has a sensational
report that the President and Secretary of
State are about to notify the American
Minister in Central America that his res
ignation is required 1t is SET out that
this action is due, not to the conviction
that the Minister acted illegally in the
Barrundia affair, but because 'public opin-
ion" in opposition to the position of the
Minister is too strong to be resisted. This
is simply absurd. The idea that Presi-
dent Harrison will rebuke an official he
believes acted properly because a few
newspapers object to the action of the
Minister, is preposterous. If we have a
President who acts from pressure of few
sensational journals, instead of from con,
yictions Of duty with a eye single to just

MR.. P0LLARD'S DEATH
HIS BODY HORRIBLY CRUSHED UN-
DER HEAVY ChR-TRUCKS.
How an Accident Occurred at tho Chcsa-
peako aud Ohio Shops Ycster-
day Morning.

About o'clock yesterday morning
Mr.. G. p. Pollard was crushed under a
heavy set of car-trucks at the Chesapeake
and Ohio shops. and within an hour he
died from his injuries.
Mr.. Pollard was engaged with force Of
men in placing trucks upon flat-cars.
They were rolled up on skids as q barrel Of
flour Is put upon dray. Six trucks had
been loaded without accident, though one
or two OF them had gotten beyond the con-
troll OF the men and rolled back. after being
gotten nearly to the top Of the Skids.
THE ACCIDENT.
When the seventh one was rolled up
nearly 20 the top somehow the force under
il gave away and the heavy irons came
rolling back with great velocity, knocking
Dir. Pollard down and crushing him in q
horrible manner. His breast was mashed,
both legs were broken. and the spine was
fractured.
The suffering man was removed into the
shops and DR.. Ross was sent for. He
reached Mr.. Pollard shortly before he
died, which was AT few minutes past
o'clock.
The truck in rolling back struck against
two other persons, but they were not badly
hurt.
Coroner Taylor was called 20 view the
body and deemed an inquest unnecessary.
PERSONAL.
Mr.. Pollard was about thirty-fve years
old and single. He was a native of King
William county, but had lived here FOR n
number OF years. For some time he was
foreman OF the coach-cleaners Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio road.
The only near relative he had in the city
is a brother.
Deceased boarded near the corner Of
Eighteenth and Nenlble streets.
