GROWING WEATHER.
A Heavy Storm Movement from the
North-Rain in California.

North-Rain In California.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. "A heavy rain
began falling here shortly after noon,
and some hail fell. Lieutenant Finlay
of the Signal service issued special
bulletin, saying: "The storm of Sun
day, which appeared off Vancouver
island, quickly followed the storm of
Friday, and'is this morning apparently
moving southwark to the Oregon coast,
attended by violent weather and rain
off the coast OF Oregon and Washington.
The barometer has fallen with great
rapidly on the northwest coast OF Cal
ifornia and in Western Oregon and
Western Washington, and is lower than
at any time since the severe storm of
February 22d last. Heavy cloud forms-
tions and threatening weather are re-
ported from all districts"
Rain fell throughout the state today,
and reports from all sections indicate
that crop prospects are unprecedentedly
good. Crops OF all kinds will be bene-
fited, especially wheat in the San Joa-
quin valley. Rain is reported at Tenn
pleton, Winters, Sonoma, Hollister,
Healdsburg, Petaluma, Gilroy, St.
Helena, Gonzales, Modesto, Salinas,
Napa and other points.
At San Rafael tonight heavy rain
fell, accompanied by thunder and light
ming. Rain also fell at Nevada, Sisson,
Sierra City and Chico.
SACRAMENTO, April Ga heavy rain
began falling after 2 o'clock this after
noon. While not absolutely needed, it
will benefit crops greatly. The outlook
for both grain and fruit hereabouts was
never better.
MARysvILLE, April Grain began
falling about noon today, and has been
continuing steadily since. The general
opinion is that the crops of Sutter and
Yuba counties never promised more
abundant yield than at present.
FRESNO, April 6.-The grain crops are
not yet suffering for rain. Fruit and
vines are all right. Should rain come
soon, good crop of cereals would be as
sured. The weather is clear and windy.

A committee of citizens being present
and desiring to speak concerning the

hearing.
Mr.. Dan. Freeman was given the floor
and recited the history of the school
site boundary dispute, and had maps
and tracings to show that the fence had
been taken down and rebuilt, at present
being some six or eight inches on pri-
vate property.
After hearing a statement from the
superintendent of janitors and also from
the city engineer, the matter was re-
ferred to the building committee, with
full power to act in effecting COM
promise.

THE ALILA ROBBERS.
They Are Said to Have Been Cap
tured at Yuma.

CureQ at una.
A report reached this city yesterday
to the effect that two of the Alila train
robbers had been captured at Yuma
and we're en- route to this city. The
story of the audacious robbery is quite
familiar to the readers of the HERALD.
and has been fully discussed many
times since the evening OF February 6,
when it occurred. ALI this time the
railroad detectives have been busy on
the case, and have been looking for four
brothers, Robert, Emmert, Grafton and
w. HI. Dalton, who were believed to be
the guilty parties. Now it seems that
two of the boys, Bob and Emmert, were
discovered boarding box-car at Indio,
on Sunday, and word telegraphed ahead
to Yuma, where they were seized by a
sheriH's posse the moment the train
pulled in. These two are supposed to
be principals in the robbery, and the
two others are wanted as accessories.
The report that reached Los Angeles
yesterday was to the effect that Bob and
Emmert would arrive in this city last
night, but at midnight they had not
been heard from.
LATER-The men arrested and in Jail
at Yuma are not the Daltons. Marshal
Gard arrived here at O'Clock this morn
ing. He informed HERALD reporter
that he saw the men under arrest at
Yuma. and is certain that they are not
the Daltons. The only resemblance is
in their tallness. The conductor on the
Southern Pacific overland which got in
last night says that the men under ar
rest went out with him on Sunday from
Cotton to Indio. They got off at that
point, expecting to beat their way to
their destination. They wore cowboy
hats, and had only $50 on their persons.
They also had group photograph in
their possession. The supposed Daltons
will doubtless be released today. The
theory that the Daltons passed through
Bagdad eleven days ago is now generally
believed among those posted in the
matter.

PARNELL MARRIED.
But the Festive Kitty O'Shea Is Not
His Bride.

LONDON, April GA sensation was
caused in the lobby Of the commons
this evening by rumor that Parnell
has been privately married since the
O'Shea divorce proceedings. According
to this rumor the lady whom Parnell
married is not Mrs. O'Shea. Several
Parnellites in the commons were inter-
viewed, but refused to say more than
that the mystery OF their leaders, inner
life, often referred to as certain to clear
Parnell's character, will shortly be ex-
planned.
DUBLIN, April 6.-Captain O'shea, in
letter acknowledging the receipt of an
apology from Rev. Father Furlong, who
had, during the course of a political adj
dress, erroneously stated that the house
hold expenses of the O'Shea family were
paid by Parnell, hints that the O'Shea-
Parnell divorce case will probably be
reopened, and that should this be done,
further revelations damaging to Parnell
will be made.

THE OLSEN TRIAL.
Several Important Witnesses Testify for
the Prosecution.

MERGED, CAL, April 6.-The Olsen
murder trialwas resumed today. Charles
Wench testified that he has lived at
Ivett's ranch since 1855; he was at the
ranch on the Saturday and Sunday pre-
vious to the murder. He saw Ivett and
Olsen. On ross-examination the defense
brought out the name Of Wesley Logan
now deceased. When asked, Ibid Ivett
and Logan ever quarrel ~ Wench re-
piled: "They had little difficulty, but
not much. think Logan burned barn
to get even." Witness was then closely
questioned in regard to Logan, and it
was thought the defense would try to lay

Upon motion of Mr.. Marsh, previous

ond motion, the leave of absence granted
to Miss Auld, was rescinded, and she

MONTREAL, April 6.-The St. Louis
lake ice has come down the river, and is
jammed at Victoria bridge. This has

been deserted.

It will thus be seen that he has been
compelled to disapprove items to the ex-
tent Of nearly 100000 in order to ac-
complish this purpose. z
To determine which OF the public
institutions should not receive it's appro-
priation, has been very hard problem
for the governor to solve. In order to
determine this, he has made very
careful study Of each one and of their
interests, and has withheld hisapproval
from those that he believes would suffer
least during the next two years.
When asked his reasons in detail on
each item, as above, the governor said
he disallowed the appropriation for the
Preston school of industry, for the .rea-
son that the Whittier reform school
would be open in few weeks, and will
accommodate perhaps 400 inmates,
which is probably as large a number as
ought to be sentenced to such an insti-
tuition for the next two years. The
