as a clerk in the commissary depart
ment- In 1875 he removed his family
to Los Angeles, and made for them the
home where he has so long enjoyed the
love and happiness of his family and the
respect and esteem of the community.
lie was member of Gelcich Post
No. LOG of the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
He was Mason, and for number of
years held his membership in Pental-
pha lodge until about year ago, when
he became member OF Sunset lodge
F. and A. M. No. 290, where he re-
mained to the last.
His life as a Mason reflected much
honor upon the craft. Upright, true
and strong in his integrity, we looked
upon his mature and manly character
with reverent approval, and the most
sincere affection.
Twelve children were given to their
happy union; six CONS and four daugh-
ters: two died in infancy. For twenty
eight years this home has been pre-
served from the hand of death. How
kindly God has dealt with them! Most
of the children have grown to man and
womanhood. Two have married, and
the youngest is 10 years old.
A few years ago Mr.. Ledbetter
was very i'll and it was thought
he could not recover. He told his COM
panion that he was trusting in God !:
that he twas not afraid to die:" he
twas ready"
His kindly face was true index to
the noble soul that looked through it
and shone about it. A gentleman paid
this tribute to his character: "He was
a man of the deepest honor in bust
ness. He had no enemies. His
neighbors and associates loved him.
They express it here this morning.
Eyes and hearts are speaking here today
what words would fail to do"
But in the home you see the dearest
outlines of his character. A large family
circle of young men and women have
grown and developed under his care.
They have learned his lessons from him.
They are all here in the highest sense
mourners for beloved father. His
kind words, his manly counsels, his ten
der sympathies and his true dev otion to
those he loved have made their impress
on their souls.
The suddenness of his call away from
his home is the greatest cause for sor-
row. AS he left his threshold he said
''good bye," not thinking it was his
last.
Kindest of husbands, he has jour-
neyed life's pilgrimage, for 38 years the
Joy and support of his companion.
How their lives have been knit and
blended into one How love has grown
with years How memories have
frightened all the past with bea uties
never to be forgotten Now let hope
take up the lost good bye and, as it has
so often done before. look forward to
that glorious meeting in the inner
temple where welcomes are forever.
His fathers family consisted of six Sis
tera and four brothers. He leaves four
sisters and one brother. A large pro-
cession of friends and neighbors fol-
lowed him to his last resting place in
the lovely Evergreen cemetery. Beauti-
full flowers covered the casket. The im-
pressive Masonic service was used at
the grave. We left him to rest, await
ing the resurrection of the just.

News Notes.

Passengers who arrived in thescity on
the Banning local cannonball train on
Tuesday had a peculiar story to tell of a
woman's narrow escape from being run
over. About two miles east of El
Monte the passengers felt the air brakes
applied with full force, and instructive
ly every one looked out of the windows,
and there saw woman calmly walking
on the track toward the locomotive.
The engineer and fireman were seen
frantically motioning to her to Get off,
but she. was apparently oblivious to
them when within few feet of her the
locomotive was brought to a standstill
and she stepped to one side, when the
engineer started up again, but as the
cars passed her she swung on to the last
platform. She proved to be Mrs.
Johnson who lives at the Monte, and
apparently she was delirious. She
stated to the train hands that she was
looking for her husband who was going
to Los Angeles, and sure enough he
boarded the train at Ell Monte, but
when he saw his wife he changed his
ulLu anu LUX u6T uOIu6. luOSt WuO
saw her walking right at the engine say
it was dollars to doughnuts that she
would be crushed to death, but she did
not seem to consider that at all. She
wanted that train to stop, and in truly
feminine way adopted the best means to
secure her purpose regardless of conse-
quences.
TRAMP's VALUABLE TESTIMONY.
Tramps, like other tourists, 'get
stuck" on this glorious semi-tropic coun-
try, but, unlike other arrivals. they
want to get out of it after while when
seized by the fever of nomadism.
On Monday member of the fraternity
stood on the platform of the Santa Fe
depot at San Bernardino. A passenger
train was all ready to leave. He gazed
to say: "Hanged if amt sorry to
had time would stay here forever, but
cago is getting on, shake with the boys,
selected soft-looking brakebeam and
sition on it, prepared for the first stage
of his eastward journey.
s'All aboard" sang out the conductor
and off went the train. 1t passed
through bustling little and big towns,
through the most charming valleys in
the world, whirled by enormous orange
grovess and stretches of vineyard, by
fields of strawberries and green peas,
passing homes which were palaces, 60
ing through what everyone admits is
the most beautiful, the most fertile,
most pleasing region on the footstool.
The tramp lay at length on his brake
beam enjoying the scene, and more and
more regretting that the love of travel
obliged him to leave such an earthly
paradise. After several hours ride the
train entered quite large town and
slowed up as it approached the depot.
''San Bernardino !" called out the con-
ductor.

he spoke last night, and about half
past ten O'clock, at the close OF the
meeting he was back at the Mcclure
busy with the Republican plotters.
Yesterday afternoon REGISTER re-
porter called at room lis TO get short
interview with Secretary Elkins on the
political situation, but the chieftans
were too busy. As the reporter knocked
he was told to come in, which he did,
and in q moment more walked into a
whole nest of bristling, hustling Re-
publicans.
"Will it be convenient to have few
words with Secretary Elkins?" asked
the reporter.
mo, it will not" observed one of the
members of the circle; 1--WE are all too
busy now. Mr.. Elkins will be occupied
until midnight"
With this the reporter retired. A
glance around the room revealed q very
busy scene.
Sectary Ekins was seated by table
with his back to the door, an overcoat
on, and collar turned up, writing for
dear life at table, while just TO one
side sat C.. B. Hart reading off some
kilograms, while grouped about the
room on chairs and sofas were num-
mer of the prominent Republicans, in
Guiding such as National Committeeman
n. 3. Scott, Chairman Dawson and
United States Marshal White.
Postmaster Cowden and P. B. Dob
bins were continually running up stairs
to note the Developments. Among
other kilograms received during the
afternoon was one sent to Mr.. Scott,
which stated that Everything is all
right here" Whereit came from could
not be learned, although it probably re-
lated to some section Of the State upon
which the Republicans have been fgur-
ing. 1t will doubtless be all right ii
enough Doodle can be gotten into that
section, but otherwise there will be but
few sections that will not wheel natu-
rally into the Democratic column. Dur
ing the afternoon large express pack
age was received at the hotel for Mr..
Eikins and was Immediately ordered to
be sent TO his room, which was done.
Another frequent caller at the room
is II. P. Webster, who is Elkins' pri-
vate secretary. Mr.. Webster has been
ouartered at the Stamm for many long
weeks in charge of the Republican
speakers of the State and other man
ouvering necessary. At present CEN
tered around Mr.. Webster at the Stamm
is E. J. Allen, of Grafton, engaged at
the Republican headquarters, and also
two Postoffice Inspectors, Samuel Hoo
ten, of Rowlesburg, and L. w. Naylor,
both of whom seem to have little else
to do Just at present than to whoop up
the prospects of the party night and
day.
Mr.. Allen feels so confident of Repub-
lican victory that last evening he hand
ed one of the clerks note showing be
desired to risk few dollars. 1t was
$500 on Harrison carrying West Vir-
ginia, $1,000 on Davis being elected
Governor, and $500 that the House OF
Delegates is Republican. He claimed
that he could find no Democratic money
anywhere yesterday, not even at Me-
Laughlin's, but these bets as soon as
known, will not likely wait long for
takers.

A SECTION OF HAaRISON'S CABINET IN CON
FERENCE AT THE McLURE.
ali They Need Now Is to Move the United States
Treasury Right Here on Wheels
DiabOlical Scheme Being
OOncOcted.

They are carrying on high jinks at
the Mcclure these days, and as the cleo
ton draws on apace something akin to
diabolical plotting is quietly going on.
For the last few days several Of the high
Republican cockaloruws have been
closeted in room No. lis at the hostelry,
and by the aid of telegraph and tele-
phone have been working all the
schemes imaginable.
No less personages were there yester-
day than Secretary of War Elkins and
Secretary of the Treasury Foster, to-
gether with crowd of lesser Republi-
can lights. When it becomes necessary
to back up their prospects with the
United States army, and the United
States Treasury, 1t would seem that the
members Of the Harrisonian faith were
at least getting little nervous over the
prospects OF Republican victory in this
State. Two such high officials are not
wasting time in Wheeling for nothing,
and especially as Secretary Elkins is
booked to remain here until next Satnr-
day. 1t means that the Republicans are
desperate, and that they are going to
use all the influence and federal power
and Doodle they can rake and scrape to
throw the State of West Virginia into
the Republican column. There is every
indication that the Republican chief
tains intend to pour money into the
State with a reckless abandon, and 1t
behooves the Democrats to be on the
alert for the unearthing Of illegitimate
methods. One Democrat suggested
yesterday that all they needed now was
to wheel the United States Treasury
right into town, and perhaps have a few
more Cabinet officials shipped here, and
then they might begin to feel fairly safe.

the Elysian Theatre, last night. Be-
fore the speech fair-sized parade took
place, clubs being present from this city,
Martins Ferry, Bridgeport and other
places. Hon. Lorenzo Danford was made
chairman Of the meeting and proceeded
to whoop things up lively, giving the
Republicans present plenty Of taffy,
eulogizing the National candidates, and
predicting their election. The speech
of Mr.. Foster consisted very largely of
the same old stereotyped, wel-worn
chestnuts about the tariff and "wild
cat" money INDUCED in by Mckinley so
literally at Etnaville and Martins
Ferry recently. The audience was
rather large, and frequently applauded
the speaker.
