Ninth Annual Convention of the G.. A.

Ninth Annual Convention of the G.. A.
RS Chief Auxiliary Order.
DETROIT, August 5.-The Woman g
Relief Corps opened its ninth annual
convention today. The attendance was
large, and the reports of the various
officers showed the order to be in a
fourishlng condition. The convention
was called to order by the national
president, Mary Sears McHenry OF Deni-
son, Iowa. The opening address of the
president was devoted chiefly to the
growth of the order during the past
year.
"The membership" said the presi-
dent, 'has steadily increased during the
year, and the order is represented in
every state in the union, except Idaho
and Alabama, and all the territories,
except Indian and Alaska. Even Cam
ada claims it's post and auxiliary corps.
During the year 1862 corps, with MEM
bership of 1900, have been instituted.
There are auxiliary to posts of COL
ored veterans twelve corps in Virginia,
four in the Carolinas, three in Florida,
three in Louisiana, two in Tennessee,
and one each in Georgia, Arkansas and
Mississippi, making total of twenty
seven corps, aside from those belonging
to the regularly organized departments.
Seven OF these have been instituted this
year.

ONE MORE CHANCE.
The Last Effort of the Presbyters for
Peace With DR.. Ellis.

The Last Effort of the Presbyters for
Peace With DR.. Ellis.
The presbytery of San Francisco held
an adjourned meeting in Calvary church
yesterday afternoon, says the San Fran
cisco Examiner of Tuesday, Rev. T. G.
Easton, moderator, presiding.
Rev. F. e. Shearer, chairman of the
committee appointed by the presbytery
to outline plan OF defense in the ac-
ton brought against it in the superior
court by Rev. J. w. Ellis for conspiracy
and malicious prosecution, reported
that an answer had been fled and
that Attorney J. d. Mhoon had been Sc
cured to defend the action.
Many of those present argued against
proceeding with the trial hurriedly as
an appearance OF hasty prosecution
might have an injurious effect and pre-
judice the presbytery in the civil court
suit. ef
A motion to postpone the trial for
two weeks was lost, and the trial was
ordered proceeded with Immediately
after recess.
A plea was made on the part of good
many of the members present to give
DIR. Ellis another opportunity of show
ing repentance, and DR.. Chapman made
a motion that a committee of two clergy
men and one layman be appointed to
confer with DR.. Ellis, and, if possible, to
secure settlement of the difficulties.
In offering the motion DR.. Chapman
pleaded that the presbytery ought to 60

Associated Press Dispatches.
New YORK, August 5.-The CONNER
cial Bulletin says: The manner in
which eastern jobbers hold aloof from
anything in the nature of speculative
purchases of California dried fruit, is a
remarkable feature of the trade. At
present futures are treated as though a
bad thing to have an interest in, and
new goods, spot or in transit, are also
given an unusually cool reception. We
fail to discover any evidence that
California fruit has deprecated in the
esteem of customers. Apparently there
is pseudo trial of endurance between
the producer and the wholesale distrib-
utor, and present signs are greatly at
fault if the latter interest has not the
best of the contest thus far. At present
dried apricots attract the greater share
of attention, and there are likely to be
no interesting developments during the
next thirty days. Efforts to interest
the trade in peaches have been fruitless
up to date, and the same may be said
regarding negotiations on prunes.

and reclaim the late pastor OF the Tabey-
nacle.
Drs. Chapman and Matthews and
George B. Mcconnell were appointed on
the committee.
DR.. Easton, in the course of an ad-
dress, reviewed the case from its incep-
tion to the present time, seeking to chow
that everything possible had been done
to avert it and to win a confession of
wrong-doing from DR.. Ellis, all of which
had been unavailing.
The general impression of the Presby-
terry seems to be that this latest effort to
secure settlement of the difficulties
will also prove abortive.
The PJesbytery will have to go into
Judge Wallace's court Friday to show
cause why it should not be restrained
from proceeding to the trial.
The citations for the trial of DR.. Ellis
were served upon him and he accepted
the service OF the papers and the trial
was set for August 18th at Calvary
church.

No Supar War.

NEW YoRK, August 5.-The statement
that the Claus Spreckels sugar refinery
of Philadelphia had commenced vigor-
Gus war in cut rates against the Ameri-
can Refinery company, is contradicted
among the sugar men today.
Speaking for Havemeyer and the sugar
trust interests, Searles, secretary of the
sugar trust, promptly denied any war or
attempted competition between the two
parties, adding that most friendly rela-
tions exist between them. There is no
truth that the Spreckels refinery or any
other sugar company is waging cut

CITIZENS WATER COMPANY.
Ex-Sheriff Kays Takes the Property
for the Bondholders.

LOT the 6OuQQOlQeTS.
Ex-Sheriff j. G. Kays has taken charge
of the Citizens Water company as trus-
tee. Mr.. Kays's known business ability
and excellent judgment is an assurance
that the defects OF the former admins
tration will be remedied IS far as possi-
BILE. Some interest having been ex-
pressed as to the extent of Mr.. Kays's
powers, he was asked yesterday to give
some information about the matter, and
replied as follows:
"The Citizens Water company, cor
poration organized under the laws of
this state, issued 5000, 900 in bonds some
time in the year 1885, and executed a
mortgage or trust deed upon all OF its
property to secure the payment thereof,
with the interest thereon. Mr.. 8. B.
Hunt and myself were named as the
trustees. Mr.. Hunt died few months
ago. The instrument provided that in
case of the death of one of the trustees
the other should execute the powers
given.
1t is provided in the instrument that
if the interest be not paid according to
the terms of the bonds the trustees
may, upon the demand of the
holders of one-quarter' of the bonds,
take possession of the property and
manage, control and operate the same,
and after paying the operating expenses
apply the proceeds to the payment of
the interest. and if such proceeds and
profits are not sufficient to pay the in
terest in three (3) months, then the trus-
tees may sell the property or foreclose
the mortgage. Default having been
made on the interest aforesaid, and a
proper demand having been made upon
me by the bondholders, have proceed
ed to execute the trust, viz, to manage,
control and operate the property of said
COMPANY"

ADJUSTMENTS.

A brilliant though limited season will
begin at the Grand opera house on Tues
day night, with Daniel Frohman's Ly
ceum Theater company. This company
has been absent from us now for two
years, having skipped a season, and they
come to US with repertory which is
entirely new. Very few organizations
ever took as firm hold on our theater-
goers as did Daniel Frohman's talented
coterie, Georgia Cayvan, Herbert Kelcey,
WI. LIE Moyne, Mr.. and Mrs. Walcot, and
Mrs. Whiffen. They form a cluster which
Los Angelefios will not soon forget.
There are some new faces this year,
notably Effie Shannon and Eugene Or
monde, formerly with Augustine DAILY,
Henrietta Crosman, Fritz Williams and
E. J. Ratcliffe. The Charity Ball will
be their opening play. This piece was
the second great success of Belasco and
De Mile, having been produced at the
Lyceum theater the second year after
their successful run with The
Wife. 1t is said to possess all
the pleasing attributes of "The1 Wife,"
but emphasized with firmer artistic
touches. The second play to be given
here will be 'sThe Idler," by G. Haddon
Chambers, the author OF Captain
Swift" This play was the great sue
cess of last season at the Lyceum the
ater, and is said to call forth the strong
est endeavors ever given by this COM
pany. The old comedy revival, which
created such Stir in New York with
this company, will be given one night
here. 1t is Dion Boucicault's cold
Heads and Young Hearts," and is the
brightest of his works. 1t will be seen
in the correct costumes OF the period of
the play, which have never been seen
here before with any organization. The
box office opens this morning.
