two punches of muscat grapes grown on hi,
place that weighed sixteen pounds apiece
In the undried state.
He converted them into raisns and the
two punches exactly weighed eight pounds

these monstrous punches is now on exht0i-
ton in the display window of a Montgom-

IL beats the earth how things grow in Cali

He does not want anything better than /.
raisin vineyard, which he considers is far
more remunerative than a profitable gold
mine.

EXTENSIVE CONSPIRACY.
n Number of Young Men Combine t.
Dcfraud Chicago Ranks

n Number of Young Men Combine to
Dcfraud Chicago Banks.
CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The flight of George
Bartels, paying teller Of the Central Trust
and Savings Bank, with $1,000 of the
banks cash, has unearthed what seems
to have been an extensive conspiracy to
deiraud five Chicago banks. The scheme
was partially successful, and over $50. OO0
was secured from Bartels' EMPLOYERS
but has since been made good. Another
bank is said to have lost $4,000, which
amount was also made good.
Three men formerly connected with
the Chicago Bank Note Company have
been arrested, charged with conspiracy
to defrauo. These are William A.
Forbes, n. w. Burnside and Charles n
Arson. Bartels was the fourth man
wanted. The preliminary hearing was
set for Thursday.
Charles Nichols, go-between. has
made an affidavit purporting to EXPOSE
the whole scheme. An application for a
receiver for the concern has been filed by
the former President of the CompanY.
This instrument throws light upon the
methods used.
Forbes was manager of the Chicago
Bank Note Company. Burnside, son of
well-known physician, was associated
with Forbes. Arson was an employee of
the firm. The young men had been
vouched for by numerous men of wealth
and financial influence, and on the
strength of this opened accounts
with the Central Trust and Saw
ings Bank, Globe National Bank,
State Bank, Chicago, First National
Bank and Milwaukee Avenue State
Bank. Immediately they deposited
checks, drafts, ETC., which have since
been found to be fraudulent, and later
drew out the cash. By collision with
the teller, Bartels' great run of paper was
dumped on the Central Trust Savings
Bank.
1t is said the plotters intended to pull
all the banks they had money deposited
with into their net, and then break up
and clear out, but the paper came to pro-
test too soon. Bartels disarmed suspi-
cion by ingeniouSly warning the bank
officials that he was suspicious that the
Note Company was Exiting" and sug-
costing that general guarantee of all
transactions be secured from the wealthy
DIR. Burnside.

Democrats Making Strong Efforts to
Bring About Compromise.
WASHINGTON Cd. c., Aug. AFTER an
hour or more of fiIbustering the House
to-day adjourned, after revoking all
leaves of absence to the members, even
those granted OH account of illness.
The majority of the Democrats in til 10
House are making strong efforts to bring
about compromise on the Worlds Fair
matter and this afternoon a conference
OF forty or more members was held in
the Ways and Means Committee rooms.
Both sides in tue Democratic party were
represented and a committee to talk over
the matter within the party was finally
appointed by Dockery. as follows:
Against the Worlds Fair-Bankheacl
Cummings, McCreary, Culberson and
McMillin; in favor-Dnrborow, Williams
of Illinois, Fellows, Reilly and Shively.
The Conference Committee appointed
by Dockery met after adjournment and
had long discussion over the various
propositions in regard to the fair appro-
priation. An adjournment was finally
taken without an agreement

PINKERToN RESOLUTION.

The Senate Votes to Appoint q Select
Committee on Investigation.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The resolution
for the appointment of a select committee
to inquire into the Pinkerton matter oc-
cupied most of the time of the Senate to-
day. Sherman thought the question
should not be taken up now. The House
had already examined the matter, and the
subject involved, to some extent, the do
main OF sovereign State. The Senate
itself had no quorum. He knew the
question was very important one and
hoped the resolution would go over until
the next session, when it could receive
proper attention.
Palmer said the importance of the in
vestigation could not be overstated. The
country would be startled at the amount
OF information that would be collected as
to the extent to which such dangerous.
semi-politlcal and semi-military organi-
cations were employed. They ought
to be hunted down as enemies of man
kind.
Vest also favored the investigation.
Quay said If select committee could
go 10 Homestead and influence the adj
Justment as to wages it would be well
come, otherwise the people were not
anxious for it.
Alter discussion the resolution was
adopted without division.

THE STORY ABOUT MARS.
Professor Holden says the Present Elk

IFOIeSSOf Holden says the present EX-
element Is Merely Exaggeration.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 2.-The follow
ing message was received in this city to-
day by the Associated Press:
LICK OBSERVATORY Mount Hamilton,
Aug. 2.-There is absolutely nothing TO be
said about our Mars observations from night
to night, or. about our observations of the
whole year even, until after the work has
been gone over with care and map made of
our results, which VIII take until October
next, at least
If there is anything to say 1 will telegraph
You, of course. All. or nearly all of the pres
ent excitement over Mars is merely eXaggera-
ton ana a sham excitement, and as utterly
useless 10 people in general as it is harmful to
true science. Exaggerated and ignorant ex-
peciau0ns Will noG be realized, such as relate
10 communication with the Inhabitants OF a
planet, which we are not absolutely certain is
mt to be Inhabited, let alone actually popu-
lated.
The general public viii be eventually 6isaO-
pointed, and science will be banned if it en-
courages hopes which competent persons
know cannot at present be realized.
therefore 1t is my judgment to tell You
frankly what | have, ana not TO lend the
great name of the Lick Observatory for q mere
sensation. When any one asks us specific
questions about Mars, we reply that we are
not responsible for what is written and printed
unless we slgnlt EDWARD ). HOLDEN.
To BE OBSERVED BY PROF. PICKERING.
BosToN, Aug. mo preparations have
been made at Harvard College to take cb-
ServatiOns Of the planet Mars during his
visit to the earth the present month. but
this duty will be left wholly in the hands
of Professor w. II. Pickering of Harvard
and his assistants, who are now at Ara
quippa, near Lima, Peru. The favorable
conditions of the climate and the atmos-
phere render THAT point the most favor
able that can be selected, and some inter
esting data are looked for from Professor
Pick ering

DANNEMoRA IN. ", Aug. AT 1850
0hls morning murderer Joseph Woods
was led into the death chamber. The
condemned mans face was male. and
there was the slightest tremor about his
VlslbIy cool, compressed lips, but he per-
nltted no other outward sign of emotion.
When he reached the chair the prisoner
SAID: II want to thank Warden Thaver
Tor his kindness to me; also my keepers.
My time on earth is not long enough to
return my thanks to Judge Whitman for
his noble efforts. He has been nearer
than brother to me, and L hope he will
live long and die happy"
The religious feeling of the doomed
man found expression in these words:
Il pray God will now give me strength
TO meet him, for [ know am going there;
God bless you all. May he make you all
happy" AS he sat down in the chair he
said: GOD remember me.n He re-
peated this three times while the straps
Were being adjusted. His last words
were: "God bless me-"
AS the contact came Woods body
Strengthened out rigidily, and his hands
turned upward on the arms of the chair
Twelve seconds was the duration of the
first contact. The second was two seq
onds shorter, and as it reached the full
power curl of blue smoke arose from
the murderer's forehead, and an odor Of
burned rubber filed the room. This was
repeated in the third and fourth contacts
of six seconds each.
Woods was in the chair one minute
and fourteen seconds. There was slight
blistering of the flesh on the forehead.
The autopsy showed there were no traces
Of the electrical current found upon the
remains save slight blistering of th
skin under the spot where the electrode
rested on the left calf
Joseph Woods, better known as "Cal
Woods" was convicted September II,
1891, OF numbering his father-in-lav-,
Leander Pasco, farmer in Warren
County, on May TO- 1890. The defendant
pleaded not guilty, alleging temporary
insanity. Successive courts adjudged hin
guilty, and Governor Flower refused to
interfere.

RECEIVER APPOINTED.

"A Portland Lumber Company in Finan-
cial Straits.
PORTLAND (Or.), Aug. Wv. B. King
has been appointed receiver Of the AIMS
lee Lumber Company. For several weeks
the concern has been in the hands of a
trustee. The Nevada Bank of San Fran
cisco, which was not party to the
original trustee arrangement, instituted
suit asking the court to appoint re-
ceiver for a few days. The operations of
the company will cease pending an in
vestigation of the company's affairs by
the receiver. The latest Developments
show that the failure is much more
serious than at first reported.
The stockholders of the Ainslee Lum-
Der Company were also stockholders in
other corporations, but which in reality
had no connection with each other. How
ever, when the Ainslee Lumber Com
pany went into the hands of the trustee
these concerns did likewise. Among
them are the Kelso Shingle Company Of
Kelso, WASH; the Idaho Lumberyard
of Pocatello, Ida, and the Padl City
Lumberyard of Padl City, Ida.
