PETALUMA, CAL, April 20. = Daniel
Shaw is dying; his affianced bride, Miss
Annie Hinkston, is very i'll, as are also
her mother, Mrs. Hinkston, Miss Allie
Hinkston, an adopted daughter, and her
aunt, Mrs. Carter. All are suffering
from strycbnine poison administered
by some unknown person. Mr.. Shaw
and Miss Hinkston were to have been
married today, and last night the brides
aunt, Mrs. Carter. came from San Fran
cisco to attend the wedding. When she
arrived the family had gone to the
ranch, but she entered the house and
prepared supper for the family, pending
their return. Mrs. Carter made tea,
taking the materials from a jar in the
house. Shortly after supper all the
members Of the family became i'll, and
in order to relieve their sufferings
drank more tea. Those who drank the
most tea were the sickest, and finally
doctors were sent for. They found that
strychnine had been put in the tea. All
are now out of danger except Mr.. Shaw
and Mrs. Hinkston. Realizing his criti-
cal condition, Mr.. Shaw wished to be
married before he died and the cere-
mony was performed this afternoon.
Shaw is still alive, but it is not thought
he will live.

FOR HIS BONOR.

ingtOn.

Whv Major Bonebrake Went to Wash
ingtOn.
A dispatch to San Francisco paper of
Tuesday, from Washington, among other
things, says:
Another turn was given the difficulty
over electing a manager of the Santa
Monica National Home for Disabled Vol
unteers today by the arrival of Major
George H. Bonebrake. Tomorrow morn
ing he will appear before the house mill
tarv committee and answer the charges
made against him by personal enemies.
In that explanation he proposes to an.
swer all that has been said against him,
and will explain his connection with the
Semi-Tropic company, showing that he
was more sinned against than SHINING,
and that he was the only man in the
concern who lost any money that his
actions in the matter were entirely hon
est, and that at no time was he aware of
any conspiracy to swindle. In support
of his statement Major Bonebrake will
present the affidavit of the United States
district attorney of Los Angeles, and
even letter from President Harrison,
should it become necessary.
He will make this explanation, he
says, not because of any charges made
against him in the committee, but be-
cause certain newspapers have attacked
him. either directly or by innuendo,
without knowing the facts in the case.
After this explanation he will withdraw
his name from further consideration by
the committee as member of the board
of managers.
Major Bonebrake came to Washington
primarily to attend the annual meeting
of the board of managers. He has been
very i'll, and there is no doubt that hie
health has much to do with his with.
drawal in this instance, as we'll as fol
the Japanese mission. He is about one
third as big as he used to be, having lost
l3O pounds of flesh, which, even to him
was no trifle.

THE EARTHQUAKE.
Three More Shocks Felt at Winters-Re-
pairing the Damage.

Three More Shocks Felt at Winters-Re-
pairing the Damage.
WINTERS, CAL, April 20.-Three shocks
of earthquake have been felt here since
yesterday morning. The last one was
at am, the first at'2 O5 am. and an
other at am. At the creek, one mile
above town, there are tissures several
inches wide, from which gas escaped,
making Kissing sound. The water was
thrown out of the creek on to the banks
on either side, to distance of twenty
two feet, by the explosion. The
solid banks on each side of the
creek were broken off for a distance
of seventy-fve yards and thrown
into the creek, almost filling the bed up.
The damage is estimated at 100000, at
the lowest figure now. There'is not a
house in town that is not damaged, and
the homes OF William Baker, j. R..
Wolfskill and William Brinck are
damaged beyond repair. The occu-
pants have moved out, as the buildings
badly damaged. as is the bank and
Masonic hall. The ground floors OF the
two-story buildings suffered most.
THE SCARE AT VACAVILLE.
VACAvILLE, CAL, April 20.-The peo-
pie are at work fixing temporary sup.
ports for buildings and clearing away
rubbish. Contractors are on hand and
the work of permanent repairs going on.
The Odd Fellows building will have to
be rebuilt from the foundation. The
town has been filed with curiosity
seekers. and kilograms have kept pour
ing in from relatives and friends. There
is general feeling of thankfulness that
the quake was attended with no
loss of life. The towns loss
in previous years by fire has
kept the place back. 1t has been
burned down four times. the last being
on election night, 1890. The active
movement for brick buildings has re-
ceived a uuietus. The general senti.
ment, in view of the quake, is that
one. story, ceiled buildings, are good
enough for the people of this town. A
good many people left town last night
to sleep in abe country.
Altogether seven shocks have been
felt since sunset last night. The only
effect was to hurry the demolition OF
the crumbling walls. The greatest need
at present is cnlmneyS; tnere prODaDly
is not sound one in town.
SHOCKS FELT ELSEWHERE.
SACRAMENTO, April 2O.-A slight shock
OF earthquake occurred here this morn
ing. No damage was done.
GRASS VALLEY, April 20.-An earth
quake Shock occurred this morning
about 2 O'Clock, lasting twelve or four
teen seconds. No damage.
NEVADA, CAL. April 20.-Mild shocks
of earthquake were felt here at 10 O'Clock
last night and 2 :05 this morning.
