FUN In THE WATER.
Last Nights Exhibition at the SWIM
ming Baths.
Professor Harmon and Dolan and
Manning Do Some Difficult and
High Diving.

There was large crowd at the SWIM
ming baths last night, many being at
tracted by the announcement of the ex-
hibition to be given by Professor Harmon
and Messrs. Dolan and Manning. A
large number of ladies were in the au-
dience, and the performance of the ex-
perts was heartily appreciated.
In the early part of the exhibition Pro-
lessor Harmon, while executing his giant
swing on the trapeze, struck a globe on
one of the electric lights, and, dropping
prematurely into the water, slightly in
jured his side. The accident was not Sc
rious, however, and in no way inter-
fered with the continuance of the per-
Torrance.
M. Manning and Joe Dolan have greatly
protited by the instructions of Professor
Harmon, and executed some of the most
difficult feats from the trapeze and in
diving from the skylights
The three performers were frequently
applauded, and the Irish Arab with
his inflated and blubber-like bathing
suit, created much merriment. While the
Arab-presumably native of Kilkenny
was lacking in grace, he never failed in
| nerve. No dive was too high or too diff
cult for him to attempt, and he usually
struck the water with considerable spon-
taneous conclusion. If he should lump
from the bridge into the Sacramento he
would kill all the fish III the vicinity by
| the shock.
| The rumor that he stove the bottom out
of the tank on the occasion of his last
| high dive was false one, for it was only
| his trousers that suffered. He will have
them halt-soled at the conjunction before
| the next exhibition.
After the exhibition of the experts it
was by no means the least interesting
| feature of the evening to see the swim
mers, who had given way to the perform
ers, again take to the water. About fifty
were in at one time, including several
ladies, and the water was kept in lively
| commotion.
! Professor Harmon leaves to-day to
give season of exhibitions at the Ter
race Baths in Alameda. He stated last
night that Messrs. Manning and Dolan
were almost his equals, and that they
would frequently give exhibitions here
The warm weather is increasing the
| patronage of the baths, and most of those
who go once and avail themselves of a
swim become regular patrons of the
healthful and beneficial luxury. The
management expresses pleasure at the
increasing attendance of ladies and chill
dren in particular.

by endangering Mrs. Thisby's land.''
henry Hebb, Superintendent of the
lady's ranch testified that the cut was q
ieet IN length, Is inches wide and Is
inches deep. He admitted that the cut
was above high-water mark.
The defense Jones made was that he de-
SIRED to lrrlgate his nursery as well as the
orchard OF G. W. Clark, of which he was
the Superintendent. and in order to do so
ne put slphon over the levee. He dug
GOWN to the depth testified to by Mr..
HEIDI, and Immediately filled in around
the pipe and tamped the earth around so
as TO make it strong. He also testified
tnat IN filling in he widened the levee
considerably.
Inc case will be resumed this morning.
owing to the fact that siphoning over
clamation districts, this case is attracting
considerable interest among owners OF
land in such districts.

The Electric Road May Run a Branch
on G Street.
The Directors Willing If the Property
Owners Are-New Cars are
Arriving.

Considerable comment has been in
obliged in of late regarding the intentions
of the owners of the electric railway with
reference to placing line in the north
eastern part of the city, touching at Agri-
cultural Park.
1t was understood that the company
intended establishing such branch
either on II or G street, but as nothing
has been done residents of that portion of
the city have been getting anxious.

yesterday to ascertain what the true state
of affairs was. The only member of the

Narrowly Escaped.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Feb 19.--As the
south bound passenger train on the
Southern Pacific railroad was nearing
Paso last night, and while about three
miles north of that station, the engineer
saw by the light of the headlight queer
looking object laying near the right hand
rail. He was so close to the obstruction
that 1t would have been impossible to
stop his tram in time to avoid striking 1t,
even if it had been OF sufficient size to
look dangerous. As 1t was very insig-
niticant In appearance. however, he paid
little attention to it. When the driving
wheels of tie locomotive passed over the
object there was terrific explosion and
the cab was enveloped in sheet of flame.
The insignificant object proved to be Il
heavy charge of dangerous explosive.
Fortunately the engine was heavy
one and held to the rails while the mo-
mentum of the train carried it quickly
over the spot. When the train had
slowed down sufficiently to permit the
engineer to get down on the steps he was
astouned to tnd the brakebeams on the
engine and express car trucks on fire.
The train was stopped and the flames ex-
tinguished. The cry of train robbers
spread like wildfire through the crowded
coaches. Officers were notified and at
once left for the scene of the explosion.

WALLA WALLA, WASH, Feb. 19.-
Frank Mason Is to be discharged from
custody. This is the boy who was con-
vlcted of robbery in the superior court
last September, and upon the request of
his attorney, and being 16 years of age,
Judge Upton sent him to the state re-
form school. He became so unmanage-
able the trustees sen. him back to the
court here foI sentence. The Judge re-
fused to receive him, and he has been
confined In the county iail here since last
January. This morning Judge Upton
rendered final decision in the case, in
which he CLAIMS the opinion of the
supreme court is not binding authority
upon the superior courts nor even upon
the judges, quoting lengthy opinion of
Chief Justice Marshall and other eminent
judges. An order was then entered dis
charging Mason from custody. Hon.
John L. Sharpstein, attorney for the re-
form school, Immediately sent a telegram
to Sheriff j W. Barnett, of Cneha!is,
informing him of the decision. As soon
as the answer is received, Mason will be
released from Jail.

Killed for a song.

TORONTO, Feb. 22.-The chief of police
of this city last night received lnforma-
tion of very sensational murder. 1t ap-
pears that a few nights ago peddler
sought lodgings at hotel in Loretto, a
small village in Adjala county. He
found party of villagers In u jolly mood,
drinking and smoking around the bar
room fire. They demanded song from
the pedder, who hesltated to comply,
saying be knew nothing but Orange
songs. The crowd, however, insisted and
the peddler complied, but the sentiment
of the song so exasperated the crowd that
they set upon and beat the man to death.
Suddenly sobered by their murderous
deed. they shut up the house and spent
the rest of the night IN cutting up the
body and putting it in the stove.

The week in Congress-.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 21.--The
present week in congress IS likely to be
uneventful. Although both houses will
reassemble Tuesday, it is improbable a
quorum will be present. The Claggett-
Dubois case will come up IN the senate
as unfinished bill. The Paddock feed
bill is the next subject tor consideration.
These matters will probably occupy the
attention of the senate during the week
with the possible addition of some lu-
.eresting proceedings 10 executive session
in connection with the pending nomina-
tIons. When the house reassembles Tues
day, it will begin the consideration of its
first election contest, that of Craig VS..
Stewart, from Pennsylvania. It is possi-
BILE the contest will last two days. The
Indian appropriation bill is unfinished
business before the house. 1t is thought
one day will be sufficient for bringing it
to passage. The Democratic caucus is
part of the programme for the week, and
it is expected that in this caucus the
party policy for the remainder of the
session on the tariff and silver questions
will be discussed with vigor and earnest
ness.

DETROIT, Mich, Fec. 21.-Deputy
Sheriff Staubin has arrested Henry Jan
son, a resident of Crosse Point, on a
charge of assault. preferred against him
by Catherine Abbott, q neIghbor. The
story or assault is out of the ordinary, as
it is the result of a fanatical craze, in
which Janson Is a self styled apostle.
Faith is the foundation of his work, and
he breaches faith to his neighbors on the
slightest provocation. OF late he has
been suffering with an liberated tooth
and his face is swollen to twice its natural
size. One of the less skeptical of bis
followers suggested that he apply his own
remedy to his case, and the complaint
was what led to the assault. Jansop, who
Is also spiritlst, invoked :he aid of
spirits, who told him, he says. that if he
would apply the blood of the first female
who crossed his threshold to his face
cure would be effected. Mrs. Abott was
the victim, and she bad no sooner entered
his house than Janson sprang upon her
and plunged a penkIife into her waist.
The woman screamed and fled from the
bouse before the suffering man could
catch drop of the blood, which flowed
freely from the wound The wound,
although not serious. was enough to con
vince the public that Jansen Is not safe
apostle to be at large, and his arrest is a
natural consequence, although it is doubt
ful If any one will appear against him.

and one woman, will leave Seattle about
the middle of March for New York with
no other means of conveyance than
wheelbarrow. They are j. F, Cheatham,
John Howard, F. V. CASTOR and Miss Lou
Howard The men will take turn about

is the expectation of the four ambitious
seekers for notoriety to cover the distance
between Seattle and New York in five
months. If they make it in five months
they claim they will receive very large
sum of money. The three male members
of the party are odd-job men, and Miss
Howard is variety actress. The combi-

stop twelve hours each at Pendleton,
Baker City, Boise City, Pocatello, Ogden,
Salt Lake City, Denver, Kansas City, St.

Chicago they will remain three days,
after which they will push on to New
