THE LOST PEGLEG.

A Party of Prospeotors Fooled by the
Desert Heat.
Some two weeks ago the W. B. Rus
sell prospecting party, numbering
eight persons, left this city in search
of the long lost Pegleg mines,
says the Riverside Enterprise. The
party has returned. In conversation
with an Enterprise reporter, one of
the party said that they went on the
Colorado desert, but made very little
headway in the search, as it was un-
bearably hot. The mercury registered
125 degrees. However, some traces
of the lost mines were discovered, and
if it had been possible to stay on the
grounds two or three days we might
have been able to solve the mystery as
to whether the Pegleg is reality or a
myth" said one OF the party. The
prospectors are not satisfied, and will in
all probability try it again some time.
Another party, consisting of Geo. L.
Bush, L. 8. Murray and G. w. Keeny,
have returned from a new mine west
of the Good Hope, where they have
been developing a claim. They
brought in some very rich gold and sill
yer bearing quartz, which will be as.
sayed. From appearances the gentle
men have a good thing.

party a smash in the came cunning way.
In conclusion he said: 1.-The Methodist
Episcopal church cannot afford to in
dorse the Prohibition party or any other
political party" Great applatae.]
A motion to lay Judge Lawrence's
substitute on the table failed to pass.
The Prohibition leaders of the commit
tee began to grow anxious about the
fate of the report.
DIR. Evans, the chairman of the COM
mittee on temperance, declared that the
report was not worded in q manner to
lend support to any political party. The
report, he said, simply sought to place
the Methodist church squarely against
the perpetuation of the liquor traffic.
He was warmly applauded.
Judge Lawrence's substitute was then
defeated, 200 to "a. Then came vote
upon the report of the committee, and
it was adopted.
The rules were then suspended and
the conference passed resolution in
troduced by Little of Illinois, stating
that the adoption Of the committees re-
port did not commit the church to any
political party. The resolution was
passed by large majority.

San Diego Guardsmen Think They Gan

A rumor which was circulated last

effect that Company A, Ninth regiment,
N. G. c., would not 60 to Omaha to
connpete in the drills to be held in
that city from June 18th to 21st, was
verified yesterday. Lieutenant 1helin
informed the Union that the company
had made every effort to secure the re-
quired number, which was recently
changed from thirty-two to thirty-eight
linemen, three officers and musician,
but success was not met with.
A rumor was current Saturday which,
if true, will in a measure make up for
the Omaha trip. Informally word had
been received that one or more of the
four companies of the Seventh regiment
of Los Angeles would like to ar
range competitive drill with company
A, to be contested for in a few weeks.
Company A would ask for nothing more
and undoubtedly would accept chal-
lenge and do it gladly.

Investigating.

Happenings.

By the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, May 24.-Interest' in the
Oberlander affair at Tia Juana is un-
abated. Acting Governor Jose M. Ross.
Judge Pedro Rendon, J. M. Cadena and
j. M. Obanda came up this morning
from Ensenada for the purpose Of inves-
tigating the case. On their arrival
they were met by George Fuller, prom
inent attorney, and District Attorney
Johnstone Jones, and had conference.
Later in the forenoon, District Attorney
Jones made full presentation of the facts
to the Mexican officials, and an informal
discussion Of the issues involved fol-
lowed. A little later the six Mexican
officials proceeded to Tia Juana to make
their investigation.
Telegrams have been sent by Attorney
Jones to. the United States attorney
general at Washington and to the attor.
ney-general of California explaining the
cause of the difficulty. A formal COM
munication was also forwarded to the
Mexican consul, Senior A. ". Lonely Of
this city, requesting that the Mexican
authorities take cognizance of the affair.
In this letter Mr.. Jones rehearsed the
Gauss OF the difficulty, and expressed the
opinion that if the arrest had been
made, as reported, on this side of the
line it was clear violation not only of
international law but of the existing
extradition treaty. He also pointed
out that If Oberlander had crossed
the line for the purpose of arresting
Cruz, afterward escaping to the United
States, the proper course would have
been to make a formal demand upon
Governor Markham for his extradition.
A man who came up from Tia Juana
this afternoon said: "We left Fla Juana
at noon, and up to that hour nothing
had been heard from Oberlander and
party en- route to Enaenada. Oberlander
was accompanied by four guards on
horseback, but he was compelled to 90
on fsot himself, no conveyance being
provided by his captore. There was
great excitement at Tia Juana, and it
would require but little to excite : mob
on this side Of the line large enough to
make resistance useless by the Mezican
authorities,

BILE of San Diego, Cal, alleged to- have

eral this afternoon received q dispatch
stating that Oberlander was released
and sent back to Tia Juana and that the
Mexican authorities would investigate
the matter.

ment to the federal constitution report
ed endorsing the amendment now

be acted upon tomorrow. The report
was read by Chairman Smith, and be-
gins:
The Presbyterian Church against DR..
A. Briggs; appeal flom the judgment of
the presbytery of New York dismissing
the case.
The report finds that the committee
of prosecution had . right to appeal
from the final judgment Of the presby-
terry in dismissing the case. An appeal
has been filed according to sections SO
and 81 of the book of discipline, and is
in order. In the judgment of the COM
mittee, the appeal should be enter
tanned, and a time set for the hearing OF
the case.
A minority report. signed by T. R.
Fraser, Thomas Gordon, Oswald P.
Backus and George v. Ketcham, was
also read. It says:
Whereas, The book of discipline re-
quires that appeals are generally to be
taken to the judiciary Immediately su-
perior to that appealed from; and
Whereas, There are not sufficient
reasons for making an appeal against
the action of the presbytery of New
York in dismissing the case against DR..
Briggs, an exception to this rule; there
fore, we recommend to the general as
Hembly that the appeal be not enter
tanned; that the papers in the case be
returned to the appellant, and that they
be advised to bring their appeal or COM
plaint before the synod of New York.

LOUISVILLE, May 4.-The night before
thef-battle gives every indication that
tomorrow's contest in the Bourbon state
Democratic convention will add another
blossom to the great laurel wreath of
Cleveland's successes. Although there
is great division Of opinion, the pre-
ponderance Of sentiment seems favora-
BILE to strong declaration for Cleve-
land which, however, can only be given
in the face OF most vehement opposition
by the supporters of Carlisle and
! Watterson. Carlisle stands himself as
9 presidential candidate, and Waiter
/, son is the leading exponent Of the prin-
ciple that the Democratic party in '92
must "shun New York and save the
party"
Congressman McCreary appears to be
the unanimous choice tor permanent
four delegates -at-large, the selection Of
three is practically settled. They are
Henry Watterson, J. A. Mckenzie and
w. G. Owens. For the fourth position
q contest is probable.
In q speech tonight in response to a
serenade, Watterson said, in part: {:
From first to laet. speaking as q friend
and not an enemy of Cleveland, urged
that it would be ruinous to him and to
us. to his great name, and to our hopes
in the immediate future, to nominate
him, unless New York should come to
the national convention solid behind
him. New York is split wide open. It's
regular Democrats are committed against
Cleveland. How can any thoughtful
Democrat zee anything but defeat in
such conditions? know in the begin
ming that Cleveland took the same view
OF the situation, and if now he really and
seriously wants the nomination, he has
changed his opinion.
