SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 13.-The British
ship Golden Horn went ashore off the
south end of Santa Rosa Island at s o'clock
last night. The crew of twenty eight
were saved. The vessel is probably
a complete wreck. She was seventy-two
days out from Newcastle, n. S. W., and
was loaded with coal for San Pedro.
The officers and crew arrived here at
6 o'clock this evening. Captain Dunn,
master of the vessel, was seen and gives
the following particulars of the wreck !:
"We were sailing through heavy fog,
when the lookout reported, Land ahead!
Every effort was made to get out of the
place, but the wind seemed to lull, and
before the ship would answer the helm
the bow struck the bottom. Finding
it would be impossible to get her off, as
the vessel aft was sinking rapidly, the
men put to the small boats. When they
left her she was completely Quilted aft,
and heavy sea was breaking over her.
In the darkness the coast was not discern
IDLE, but was seemingly rocky"
IL the weather continues fair, 1t is pos
sible to save some of the contents. Moth
ing was saved by the men, they barely es-
Gaping with their lives. Some had no
coats, and others were hatleSS and shoe
less. In this condition in small boats
they followed the coast line until they eff
fected landing at 5 o'clock this morning
at Beacher's Cove. This part of the island
is uninhabited, and at o'clock the party
left in their boats for the main land, where
they arrived after they had been over
twenty hours with scarcely any food, and
having rowed the boats probably over
fifty miles. The Golden Horn was a
three masted ship of 1900 tons regis
ter and was owned by James r. Dewolf
& Son of Liverpool. She sailed from
Newcastle, n. S. W., July 30th, with $500
tons of coal, consigned TO the Southern
Pacific Railroad Company at San Pedro.

CROP CONDITIONS.
Reports Received From Voluntary OBJ
servers Last Week.

Reports Received From Voluntary OBJ
servers Last Week.
The temperature has apparently been
slightly above the normal in all sections,
while there has been very considerable
deficiency in rainfall. The only rain re-
ported was .04 of an inch, at Eureka,
Humboldt County.
There has been considerable damp and
foggy weather along the immediate coast,
but IN the interior it has been clear and
dry.
At Sacramento the temperature has
averaged fractional degree above the
normal; light to fresh southerly winds
have prevailed, and there has been con-
tnuouS cloudlessness.
Peaches, pears, plums and prunes have
been about all disposed of, and grape
picking has begun. The crop is generally
reported TO be light. Some shipments
have already been made, and it is ex-
pected that within the next week or ten
days there will be great activity in this
line. 1t is estimated that sixty carloads
OF grapes will be shipped from Sacra-
mento within the next week or two,
The weather has been especially favor
able to fruit-drying, and also to raisin-
making, which has begun in most sec
tlons heard from.
hops are ABOUT al picked ana are be-
ing shipped. The crop, in some parts, is
reported to be somewhat lighter than was
expected from previous estimates.
The reports for the week, received by
Acting Director Burrows of the State
Weather Bureau have disclosed no ma
terial departures from the normal condi-
tons or former anticipations. The prev
alent tenor of most of the correspondence
is, as heretofore, that the seasons opera
tons, taken as totality, yielded rather
satisfactory results.

FRUIT FOR ENGLANn.
The Ninth Special Train Sent From
Here Last Night.

mere LdSC N1EnU.
The ninth weekly shipment of Califor-
mia green fruits for Liverpool, London
and other English markets went out on
the California Fruit Transportation Com
pany's export special last night. This
shipment consists almost entirely of
peaches and Tokay grapes from Florin
land Penryn. The outlook in the Eng
lish markets still continues good, and the
demand for California fruit increases
with the continuous shipments to those
markets, the fact becoming more and
more apparent to those dealers that NOT
only is the California fruit superior to
anything else, but that it can be laid
down at their doors in excellent condi-
ton and can be handled by them with
favorable results.
Everything points to the fact that, until
the California fruit has become entirely
exhausted, shipments may be made to
those markets with every assurance of
favorable results and good prices. The
fact that these shipments are being made
to England with such success, and that
the fruit is proving so satisfactory to con-
sumers there, is creating quite a good
deal of what might be termed envious
comment from other portions of Europe,
and letters are being received almost daily
from different parts of Germany and
France asking that sample shipments be
made in order to demonstrate the FEAST
bility of extending the service to those
markets.

THE DISEASE IN HAMBURG.
when the Trap is Sprung

Upon us, as it sometimes is, in most I'M
expected manner, by disease. we appreci-
ate the fact that it is most insidious foe.
and that not only is it necessary to COM
bat it by the most potent medicinal agen-
cies, but to prevent its manifestation at
all by counteracting the causes that pro-
duce it. Thus, exposure in wet weather,
the enforced wearing of damp clothes
during storm, thorough draught, UNI
accustomed diet and water, bodily or
mental overwork are breeders of disease.
but Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will pre-
vent their inducing it. This medicine
fortifies the system against the assured
effects such causes would otherwise pro-
duce. To the mariner, miner. the outdoor
laborer, the slave Of the desk and pen,
and the oyerworked generally, it is of the
utmost advantage. Dyspepsia, kidney
trouble, malaria, biliousness, all yield
to it.

A SHERIFF IN CONTEMPT.
Result of Laumeister's Refusal to Hang
John McNulty.

Result of Laumeister'S Refusal to Hang
John McNulty.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-At 2 o'clock
this afternoon Judge Murphy rendered a
written opinion in the matter of c. S.
Laumeister, Sheriff of this county, for
contempt, having failed to hang John
McNulty on the day set for execution.
After having reviewed the case the
court said: 1.-THE court, therefore, holds,
determines and finds that the respondent,
G. S. Laumeister, Sheriff of said city and
county, did willfully fail and refuse to
execute the warrant of execution issued
out of this court on the 18th of June, A.
d. 1892, in the case of the People of the
State of California against j ohm McNulty,
and by reason thereof was and is guilty
of contempt of this court; and, as pun
ishment for which contempt so committed
as aforesaid, the court does now order and
adjudge that the respondent, Charles S.
Laumeister, Sheriff of the city and
county, be committed to the custody of
the Coroner of said city and county, and
by him be imprisoned in the County Jail
of said city and county for the period of
twenty-four hours"
An application will be made to the Su-
preme Court for writ of habeas corpus,

ton as to the power or authority of
Sheriff to neglect or refuse to carry out
an order of court.
A stay of execution has been granted
until IL O'Clock tomorrow.

that Evans told him they were going to
leave the country in while, but not be-
fore they had had another crack at the
Southern Pacific. The same man stated
that the friends of the robbers were very
numerous in that part of the country,
and that they seemed devoted to them
and they would supply them with hid
ing place, food and ammunition. War
rants have been issued for the arrest of
certain parties believed to have afforded
protection to the robbers, and it is
thought that this will have favorable
result.
ANOTHER STORY.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-Another ac-
count of the fight with Sontag and Evans
has been received from Visalia. 1t diff
fers in many points from the stories re-
ceived from Sanger and Fresno, and is as
follows: Only two men were killed, Will
son and McGinnis, and they were within
i've feet of the house when the doors
were thrown open and Evans and Son.
tag commenced shooting.
The trail of the desperadoes was first
found on Sunday, the camp being well
supplied with the latest papers. The
trail was lost before reaching Young's
house, where Wilson and McGinnis went
10 get potatoes and leave a note for John
Broder, who was to arrive there to-day.
The men were on foot when approaching
Young's house, and one or two of
the party had left their arms on their
horses.
Wilson died with his pistol in his hand,
but the two men were killed before they
had time to act.
Detective Burke says the posse in pur-
suit of Evans and Sontag run out of pro-
visions and went to Dunlap postoffice to
secure a new supply. Returning, they
came to Young's house and he left the
party short distance to get into water
melon patch. He saw the fash of gun,
saw firing from the door and window of
the house. They did the shooting from
the house. Soon after Evans and Sontag
came into the yard and shot at Witty.
Burke was in clump of brush and shot
at Evans, and at the second shot Evans
fell, dropping his gun. He ran in a
STOPPING position till out of sight
Burke is confident he wounded Evans.
The two Indian trailers were on top of a
ridge above the house together and fired
three shots without effect.
The fact that Mrs. Evans was at
HowelPs house, where Evans and Sontag
left Supervisor Ellis horse and cart,
tended to disconcert the pursuing party
and partially threw them off their guard.
The Indian trailers returned to town
with Detective Burke. Sheriff Kay and
one or two of his posse were still in the
mountains

Caminetti Explains His Position on
the Mining Debris Bill.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-At the
monthly meeting of the State Board of
Trade to-day Eugene j. Gregory of Sac
ramento presided. Among those present
were Mayor Cole of Fresno, Tyler Beach
of San Jose, L. G. McAfee of Bakersfield
and others.
Congressman Caminetti refuted the
charge that he, in favoring certain legis-
lation, had been endeavoring to transfer
control of our navigable rivers from the
Federal Government to the State Govern
ment. He spoke of the proposed hy-
draulic mining bill, and said its pro-
visions would have permitted the re-
sumption of hydraulic mining with per-
feet safety to the agricultural interests.
California would have obtained the de-
sired law, to be carried out by Govern
ment Commission, had not certain reso-
lutions adopted by the Sacramento Con-
vention been sent to Washington.

LOON LAKE House On. W, Sept. 49,
President Harrison makes no effort to
conceal his anxiety over the condition of
Mrs. Harrison, and has been at her bed
side during the entire day. While the
family share deep concern, and all are
evidently apprehensive of continuance
of the present unfavorable symptoms,
they are doing the utmost to cheer the
patient up, and have succeeded so well
that she is not fully aware of the extreme
gravity of her case. She rested comfort
ably during the day, and DIR. Gardner.
who is in constant attendance upon her,
said there had been slight improvement
since yesterday.
DR.. Dougherty, the New York special
list, is expected to arrive here at mid
night. 1t is expected that an official bull
letin will be issued in regard to the case
after a consultation of the physicians to-
night. Mrs. Harrison expressed desire
to go to Washington, and the transfer
will be made if it is deemed advisable.
The Presidents future movements will
depend entirely upon the state of Mrs.
Harrison's health, and it now seems
likely that he may have to abandon his
purpose of being present at the Grand
Army encampment at Washington next
week.
