Rosina Vokes is delig htful and natu-
raj actress. She is so simple and original
in her way of depicting the scenes of in
innate and refined domestic life that she
appeals at once to the hearts OF her hear
ers and takes them by storm. Added to
the solid qualifications of her dramatic
character, Miss Vokes has the important
particulars of physical expression and
movement which form n whole body of
accessories Part of Miss Vokes' general
talent no doubt come by inheritance from
family of actors. But her own talent is
almost unique in its character and she is
perhaps the only living actress of English
speech who can realize for the spectator
conception of the inimitable Nine Vestris
of other days. For her engagement at
the Providence Opera House, which be-
gins Monday evening, Miss Vokes has Sc
lected from her extensive repertoire two
of her most popular and successful bills.
AS is customary with this delightful or
ganiZation, three separate and distinct
plays will be given at each performance.

and Saturday matinee, the bill will con-
sist of "A Game of Cards" an adoption

THE SAN ANDREAs OUTRAGE.

Officers On the Track of the Assassin.
Funeral ofla Victim.
San ANDREAs, May 2.-Owing to the
heavy rains Of Saturday night Sheriff
Thorn and posse were unable to con-
tinue on the tracks Of the murderer who
fred into the San Andreas and Sheep
Ranch stage on Saturday morning last.
J. B. Hume, Wells, Fargo & Co.'s de-
tective, arrived last night and spent the
early part of today with Sheriff Thorn,
engaged in trying to find some clue or
adopt some theory upon which to work.
They left here this afternoon, but their
objective point is not known.
The funeral OF Miss Rodesino, the
young lady who was killed in the stage,
took place today at her home in Ell Dor
ado. Her uncle, John Rodesino, a
prominent merchant of that place,
offers reward of $4,000 for the arrest
and conviction OF the murderer.
i, The stage driver, Rube, Roggio, who
received two buckshot in his breast,
and who is now lying at dwelling
house where he was carried, short
distance from the scene Of the tragedy,
is rapidly sinking, and the attendant
physicians say that he will not live until
morning.

APPEARANCES ARE DEcEIrFUL.
France Warned That Her Anarchfs
Troubles Are Not Yet Ended.

France Warned That Her Anarchist
Troubles Are Not Yet Ended.
PARIS, May g. The papers generally,
commenting on the quietness shown by
the Anarchists, give warning that ap-
pearances are deceitful, and that it will
not do to suppose that the trouble with
Anarchists is at an end. Reports from
all points of Importance in the provinces
today show that no serious disorders oc-
cured anywhere yesterday.
1t is stated that the Marquis De Mores
has challenged municipal councillor,
who insultingly referred to him in a
public speech yesterday.
A number of reactionary youths held
a secret meeting Saturday night, with
the object of forming an anti-Anarchist
association. Many incoherent speeches
were made, which promised little prsc-
ticai results. The movement may. how
ever, lead to demonstrations in which
the Anarchists are likely to be roughly
handled. F
A quantity of explosives were seized
today in an Anarchists residence at
Vile Momble. the police having got
wind of plot to destroy the Hotel Vile.
One person was arrested and number
OF others escaped. e
Ravachol, who has recovered from his
recent fit of detection, and now laughs
at the way in which he scared the jury,
expects a verdict of extenuatiug cir
cumstances, in the Montbrizon trial, re-
lying on the effect of, similar coercive
tactics against the jury.

BRUGGY's LEG BAIL.
A Condemned Murderer Escapes from
Santa Rosa Jail. F@

A Condemned Murderer Escapes from
Santa Rosa Jail.
SANTA Rosa, CAL, May 2.-Excite-
ment was caused this morning by the
discovery that George w. Bruggy, the
condemned murderer, who was to have
been sentenced for the third time today,
had escaped from the Jail. The escape
is pronounced one of the cleverest on
record by all who examined the jail.
The bars in one of the round windows
in the west side of the outer wall were
cut, leaving an open space large enough
for the passage OF mans body. After
passing through this opening. a person
will be on the inside of the Jail, but out
side of the main cage enclosing the cells.
An entrance was made into the cage
by cutting off two bars forming a lattice,
which, when fled clear, left room for
persons to 60 to Bruggy's cell and cut
the screws to admit the sliding of the
bolts. Whether an entrance was made
from the outside in the manner de-
scribed, or the order reversed, remains a
mystery. The latter theory, however, is
given color by the escape at the same
time of man named Frenchy.
Sheriff Mulgrew has offered 5000 re-
ward for Bruggy's capture. and all his
deputies have been in the field since
early this morning. The general belief
is that Bruggy made his way to deep
water as soon as possible. Itwas at first
thought his wife assisted him, but she
appears to be broken-hearted to think
her husband has deserted her.

CALIFORNIA CROPS.

Grain In the Northern and Central VAL
leys Looks Well.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-The Asso-
ciated Press has received telegraphic re-
ports from large number of places in
the wheat and barley districts of North
esn and Central California, showing the
condition of the crops at the present
time. In the northern part of the state,
particularly in the Sacramento valley
and the northern portion Of the San
joaquin valley, the late rains have been
very beneficial to the growing grain,
and reports from nearly all
places in those districts indicate
that the prospect for an abundant yield
is excellent. In the southern districts,
in the neighborhood Of visalia, Tulare,
Templeton and Paso Robles, growth was
retarded by lack Of rain, and light
crop is generally expected. though near
Fresno and Bakersfield the outlook is
better, especially at the latter place,
where the acreage is large.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Lay Delegates Allowed to Draw Lots
for Sents.

Lay Delegates Allowed to Draw Lots
for Sents.
OMAHA, Neb., May 2.-Twenty-fourth
quadrennial conference of the Methodist
church was opened here this morning
by Bishop Bowman. The entire morn
ing session was devoted to the discus
sion of the proposition to seat lay dele
gates separate from the clergy. The
question was still undecided when re-
cess was taken.
During the discussion of the resolu-
tions to seat lay delegates, DR.. John
Lanahan said he believed the laymen
would have more influence and power
in the conference by being seated sepa-
rately.
Mr.. Hinkle, of Kentucky, vigorously
combatted the idea. He wanted the ad-
vice of ministers, and wanted the minis
ters occasionally to get advice from the
laymen. He wanted equal representa-
tion, but was opposed to separation.
Mr.. Murray of Pennsylvania said the
laymen merely wished to be placed on
an equality with the ministers. Here.
tofore they had lost their individuality.
DR.. Buckley, editor of the Christian
Advocate, thought the laymen had not
been given fair chance to exercise
equal power with the ministers. Nine
tenths of laymen, said he, attend but one
general conference, but the ministerial
delegates go to conference after confer
ence, and the bishops who preside know
them. The bishops are not acquainted
with the laymen when they arise on the
floor with half dozen ministers, the
result usually is that the presiding Off
Ger recognizes some ministerial delegate
and the layman sits down.
After long wrangle, the conference
decided to allow the lay delegates, who
80 desired, to select seats separate from
the ministers. The drawing of seats bv
lot then began, and continued until 7 80
this evening, when the conference ad-
iourned until tomorrow.

Associated Press Dispatches.
SrocKToN, CAL, May 2.-This city is
crowded tonight with delegates and pol
iticians who are here to attend the state
Republican convention which will be
called to order at O'Clock tomorrow aft
ernoon. Nearly all the delegates have
arrived on the field of action, and are
busily engaged in arranging for tomor-
rows programme. This convention
elects only district delegates and dele
gates-at. large to the national convention
at Minneapolis, and unless some strong
fight develops, tomorrow it will be q
short one.
Interest centers largely in the selection
of chairman of the convention and the
election Of delegates-at-large. For chair
man, j. II. NeF of Placer county, and j.
W. Rea OF San Jose are slated for candi-
dates. Neff is supposed to represent
the Burns Wilson faction, and Rea the
Kelly -Crimmins side. Nef's supporters
are wildly enthusiastic, and claim that
his electionis an assured fact. The sec
ond congressional district is solid for
Neff, and he has many supporters
among the Southern California delega-
tions. The Los Angeles and San Diego
delegations are divided between the two
candidates. Rea's adherents are posi-
tive that their man will be selected, and
are doing some lively work tonight to
improve his chances. Notwithstanding
Rea's confidence, the general impres.
sion seems to be that Neff will be
elected chairman without much trouble.
The contest for delegates-at.large
promises to be lively one. Four dele
gates-at-large are to be selected and
there are eight candidates for the. posi-
tions. They are: M. M. Estee OF
Napa, E. F. Spence, Los Angeles;
Daniel Cole, Sierra; Norman d. Ride
Barnes and Senator q. N. FELTON,, San
Angeles. The sentiment seems to be
that Estee, Spence and Cole will
surely secure the coveteo positions
while it will be a hard fight
between De Young, FELTON, and Barnes.
1t was rumored that FELTON, had with.
drawn from the contest, but tonight it
was stated that he is in the fight to stay.
De Young's supporters are very conf
dent and state that their man will be
sent to Minneapolis.
The preliminary contest over the chair
manship and delegates-at-large has over
shadowed everything elee, and the ques
tion OF platform and resolutions does not
cut much of figure.
There will be some little delay over
the contest as to seating come of the
San Francisco delegates. If Neff gets
the craftsmanship, it is claimed that a
committee on credentials will be ap-
pointed which will seat the delegates
supporting Burns and Wilson. On the
other hand, if Rea presides over the
convention, the Kelly Crimmins dele
gates will get the preference. E

A Large Mill Destroyed by Fire at Car
son, Nevada. ~
CARSON, New, May 2.-The Eureka
mill, on the Carson river, was destroyed
by fire this morning. The loss ia over
100000.
The fire is supposed to have started in
q small room at the end of the sixty
stamp battery, and spread rapidly over
the building. Many parts of the build
ing were open, admitting a strong
draught. The watchmen got out a hose,
but it was burnt in two, and nothing was
left to fight the fire with. All attention
was then given to Superintendent
Woodbury's house, which was saved.
Two hundred cords of wood were de-
stroyed also, and the entire milling
plant and machinery are almost worth
less.
The fire started at O'Clock this morn
ing and reduced the mill to ashes inside
of four hours. Many men are thrown
out of employment. The building was
insured in the T. F. Hotter agency. for
$4,000, and was the property Of the
Comstock Mill and Mining company.
