COTTON.

Work at the pavilion is progressing
rapidly, and all will be ready for the
opening of the Twenty-eighth District
fair, February 22d. Our large pavilion,
with over II, 900 feet of floor space, will
be crowded to its full capacity to accom-
modate all the exhibits that have ap-
piled for space.
Miss Brooks was badly burned yester-
day, by using coal oil and gasoline
mixed in kindling fire. The young
lady has the sympathy of the entire
community.
Judge Milliken was out this morning.
He is somewhat better today, but still
far from we'll.
Dick Stetson is down quite sick with
the grip.
J. G. Warner, of Portland, Ore, is in
town looking over our fine orange
groves.
Fox & Choate are quite busy showing
strangers about our city and vicinity.
A. B. Miner is confined to his house.
We hope he will soon be about as he is
needed at the pavilion.
Brooks & Browns team ran away this
morning. The wagon collided with a
telegraph pole on the plaza; the pole
was thrown down. Mr.. Browns son,
who was in the wagon, was thrown out
and badly bruised, but no bones were
| broken.
Our street improvements are pro-
crossing finely, and we soon will have
as fine streets as any city in the county.
Fakirs and freaks are gathering in
advance of the fair, expecting to reap
harvest of shekels next week.
The marble works have been shut
down for week, owing to the breaking
down of the engine. They started up
this morning as good as new.
The dining room at the pavilion is
completed, and ]. M. White will be on
hand to feed all the hungry, and John
says he is bound to keep up his reputa-
tion as caterer. ~
A. M. Pullman of the San Diego
Abstract company is in town visiting
friends.
A. B. Miner is feeling much better and
expects to be about tomorrow.
Fox & Choate are exhibiting a lot of
oranges from A. S. Fox's grove on the
Terrace avenue. They are hard to beat.
The HERALD special came in on time
this morning. to the great satisfaction
of the HERALD readers, who are now en-
abled to read the news while breakfast
ing.
There is q rumor that the Southern
Pacific will soon put on train that will
beat the Santa Fe flyer into Redlands
by fifteen minutes. Long may they fly.
The exhibits for the fair are coming in
and will begin to be placed tomorrow.
Los Angeles must look out for her
laurels, as we are sure to beat her fair.

A New Pointer About Him From Oak
land.


A New Pointer About Him From Oak
land.
1t was stated here locally on Tuesday
that Wilson, the man who cut his
tongue off last year, was being looked
for by detectives, his father having left
him large fortune. The Oakland Trib-
une has the following to say of the mys-
terious self-mutilator:
Wilson was well known in this city,
but his name was Edward and not
George. He was prominent in society,
joined the Athenian club, and his en-
gagement to a society belle was ru-
mored. He lived at the fashionable
boarding houses and held resposible
position in mining Office in San Fran
cisco. After a time he began to act
strangely, rarely opening his mouth and
stunning companionship with any but
children. He lost or gave up his posi-
tion, went to Los Angeles and cut out
his tongue.
Then he was sent to the asylum at
Stockton, where he died.
The statement that he was a profes-
sional gambler is without foundation.
Before he came to Oakland he was en-
ployed in Rideout's bank at Marysville,
where he was most thorough account
ant. He was an Englishman of excel
lent family and came to Oakland with
letters of introduction to some of our
best people. He always dressed quietly
and in excellent taste, though not in
clerical garb. During the last few
months of his residence here he was
rarely without his Bible or book of
common prayer.

A HAPPY ENDING.

A Breach of Promise Suit Ends in a
Wedding.
A happy termination of recent suit
for breach of promise came to the knowl-
edge of Justice Owens court yesterday.
On December Goth Minnie Flood filed
a complaint against Jerry Harris, Santa
Monica hack driver, for seduction under
promise of marriage. On January 4th
Justice Owens held the defendant for
trial in the superior court. Since then
the wife of Harris, for he was married,
obtaineda divorce from her husband.
On Monday last Harris was married to
Miss Flood, and all parties are now sup
nnsed to be happY.

The Trials and Death of Francisco
Ouiutauo

The Trials and Death of Francisco
Quintano.
Francisco Quintano was found dead
yesterday morning in San Jose cafion,
about eight miles from Spadra.
Coroner Weldon went there in the
morning to hold an inquest. 1t was
found that Quintano, who was about 80
years old, had been camping in the
woods in little brush tent, cutting
wood. Exposure during the rainy spell,
and neglect of his person, brought on
pneumonia, and the poor fellow on
Wednesday, probably, took his blankets
and started for Spadra. He did not get
far before the fatal weakness overcame
him, and Quintano had to lie down to
die. The verdict Of the jury attributed
the death to natural causes.

THE COY MURDER TRIAL.

Several Witnesses Testify for the
Prosecutfon-Argum for the
Defense to Commence This Morn
Ing.
PIrrsEInLD, Mass, March 23.-In the
Coy trial to day several witnesses testified
for the prosecution, including Officer Pease
and Sheriff Crosby, who told in detail
about Coy's contradictory statements and
his final confession. The confession was
put In evidence, defendants counsel tax
ing exceptions. At the afternoon session
the crowd was larger than ever. The ex-
Perts testified that the wound on Whalen's
head was mortal, although he might have
lived hours. The wound in the throat was
probably inflicted before Whalen died from
the other wound. This closed the case of
the prosecution. Lawyer Joyner for
the defense raised the point
of variance, claiming that the
indictment alleged that Whalen was in
stantly killed by blow on the head,
while the evidence showed that death was
caused by wound in the throat. He
claimed that the jury could not render a
verdict consistent with the evidence and
Indictment. Attorney General Pillsbury
argued that the precise manner of Whalen's
death WAS question for the jury to decide
and not for the court
Judge Mason said that no final ruling
would be made at this stage of the case,
that the question might arise later and
would then be ruled upon. Adjourned
till morning, when the defense will open.

Property on Main Street, Birmine.
ham, Purchased for q Car House
and Power Plant.
ASsoNIA, March 23.-Rumors of a big
deal in real estate on Nam street, Birming-
ham, have been rife for several days, and
1t is now made public that the Derby
Street Railway company have about closed
bargain with John Pagan whereby they
are to come into possession of the property
on the eouth side of Main street, which
Mr.. Pagan recently purchased from the
Peck, Stowe & Wilcox company. The
purchase of the property has been under
consideration for some time and while the
papers have not yet been passed the cleo
trio road will take possession within few
days. President Il. Holton Wood lie out
of town and Superintendent Porter said
he would prefer 10 wait until Mr.. Woods
return before saying what the company's
purpose was in purchasing the land. He
did say, however, that 1t was probable the
company would erect a large car house
and build a power station there some time,
but when he could not say. The car
house would probably be the hrst one
erected. Mr.. Pagan will retain the lease
on that part of the property now used as
a coal yard by him for a term of years.
