The Cases of Several would-be Escapes
disposed of.
SAN RAFAEL, May 23.-This morning
Justice Dufficy held court at San Quen-
tin prison. Five cases, in which
prisoners we're charged with escaping,
were disposed Of. Hanlon and Man,
ming. who escaped from prison and ned
to the hills last August, and there max
ing desperate resistance, in which one
OF their pursuers was severely injured,
were held over to answer before the
superior court. The cases of Byrne and

escaped two months ago, were
dismissed. The case of Slocum,
or as he calls himself, William Allen,
was passed indefinitely, the judge in
structing HIM that his case was one in
which the superior or supreme courts
could pass upon writ of habeas corpus.
Slocum is prisoner who was captured
in San Bernardilo, and when returned to
prison denied that he was the person
wanted. The prison officials were pos
tive that he was the party wanted, and
refused to release him. 1t is expected
that the courts will be resorted to in this

PUBLIC PROSPERITY
BY THE GROWTH OF

The American People Cultivating Taste
for the Products of the Orchard-Good
Effect on Health and Morals.

New YoRK, May 23.-The Commercial
Bulletin devotes long editorial to the
extraordinary increase in fruit pro-
duction and importations in recent
years, especially from California, and
concludes: "Such showing is an evil
dence of public prosperity and dem
onstration OF the wonderful progress
and development of efficient agencies of
transportation and distribution. 1t is
suggestive, also, of the requirement OF
an American fondness for fruit, as pro-
nounced as the tastes which have been
proverbially ascribed as the national
traits of other countries. The develop
ment of such taste is to be welcomed
on the grounds of public health and
public morals. The consumption Of
fruit is one of the most effectual COR
receives of thirst for intoxicating
drinks, and is favorable to good di-
gestion, very important element of
good citizenship"

serves.
There have been received in this city
quite number OF Chicago papers,
which, in speaking of the late orange
carnival in their city, mention that
''Major Geo. N. Nolan, formerly man
ager Of the Southern California exhibit
at the Rialto building. and promoter OF
the great carnival" etc. Now Major
Geo. N. Nolan never was manager OF the
Southern California exhibit at the Ri
alto building--that- has been strictly
under the management of one Ben Tru-
man since it opened; and, so far as hav-
ing been the promoter of the great
orange carnival" most people have
faint idea that Messrs. Hanchette,
Wells, Virgins and others, and not
Nolan, promoted the great show.
In this connection it is understood
that, owing to the sickness of Mr.. Cook,
Mr.. Wells employed Major George N.
Nolan to do the advertising for the car
nival, which was pretty expensive, by
the way. In SO doing, this Nolan makes
himself out as formerly manager of the
Southern California exhibit in the Rialto
building and promoter of the great or
dnSC CdIhlNdl. wen, IueT6 ls no real
harm in it, but such methods, besides
being ridiculous and untrue, set the
author up as sort of Bombastes Furi-
oso on minimum scale.
This Major Nolan was formerly secre-
tary of the San Diego chamber of COM
merce, and was given position as as
sstant to Major Truman. 1t was soon
said, however, that Major Nolan was
employed on the side in the interest of
some San Diego land companies, and his
resignation was accepted by Major Tru-

form, and the board suggests that an
