SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. 9.-AdmlHHlon
day was observed by the Pioneers by
basket picnic at the City park. In the
afternoon small audience occupied the
western part OF the pavilion and listened
to speeches from Judge Uip, of Cotton,
who closed his remarks by introducing
San Bernardinos favorite orator, Hon.
w. A. Harris. Mr.. Harris gave an i'm
promptu talk, as he said he had been in
vited to address the meeting after hav-
ing entered the hall. He dwelt upon
the state and national patriotism OF Cal.
ifornians, and attributed that strong
sentiment, Notwithstanding the great
distance OF our state from the center of
government, to the loyalty of the early
pioneers. He spoke eloquently Of the
bravery OF the women of those early
days, saying that their heroism sur
passed even that of the men. Another
point he made, and which was heartily
applauded, was that all persons, regard
less OF politics, should demand reform
in our legislature, and that political par
ties should be given to understand that
unless they put up good men for the
legislature they would be downed.

Since the testimony has been taken
in the case OF Mary Martinez, the woman
who was found dead at the residence OF
Mr.. L. Nigel, few days ago, the opin-
ion of the jury and public generally is
that it is case of murder, and not eui-
eide. The body of the woman was
cared for at the county's expense, and
taken to Aqua Mama for burial. Mr..
Carhart, one Of the managers OF Harlem
Springs, has been arrested on suspicion
of being the murderer, he having been
seen at the house the night before.
Harry Langford has also been arrested,
his testimony being very crooked.
The investigation OF the charges made
against DR.. Heating, county physician
and superintendent OF the county hos
pital, has been watched with much in
terest, the superior court room being
used as the place for hearing the testi-
mony. The sworn charges against the
doctor are for drunkenness, robbing 9
corpse, and illegal charge OF $4 for livery
hire. Very conflicting is the testimony
of the witnesses, and so far, neither eide
has gained much advantage.
J. L. Allen left yesterday for Grand
Island, Neb.
