WALKED TO LATHROP.
A Three Days Tramp Which Could
Have Been Avoided.

FRESNO, July 9-The local freight train
arrived from Stockton at 4 30 P. NJ. to-day
with carloads of merchandise for merchan Is
here. The American Railway Union men
say the train will lot go out Tomorrow.
About twenty Visalians arrived on the
local last night Among them was we'll
known resident of Visalia, who went to
San Francisco on an excursion ticket and
got stranded. He determined last Thurs
day to get home if he had to walk every
step of the way. he took the ferry
to Oakland. knowing that the
walking was good TO Visalia.
he concluded to go via Lathrop, hoping
to catch some kind of train there, and he
did. He reached Lathrop yesterday
about an hour before the local for
Fresno started out, and there met other
Visalians on the way home. He told his
story and was asked why he did not take
a boat to Stockton.
"What," said he. "does boat run up
the river to Stockholm"
Eyes. We came up on the boat last
night. The fare is only % cents"
That's the first time | knew it, and

could have gone to Stockton for two bits"
The weary Visalian took the train and
was landed in Fresno last evening. His
first name is Pat" and he is generally
known as "Old Man Pratt's son-in-law."
Local mem bers of the American Railway
Union have quietly taken up the white
badges worn by sympathizing friends,
only members of the union now wearing
them.
The Expositor's editorial says: United
States Marshal Baldwin should be elected
an honorary member Of the American
Railway Union. He has shown himself to
be entirely in sympathy with Its purposes

rolling him on the ground when he makes
a grotesque effort TO exercise the authority
that is vested in the Office he holds"

Locals are running as usual. The South

Az Bakersfield the only signers were the

DENVER, July "a supposed attempt

president of the First National Bank. or to
blow up the place with dynamite in case Of
refusal was prevented to-day.
Early in the day two roughly appearing
strangers were seen to approach the bank
and scrutlnize it closely. Later they
entered the bank and asked for Mr..
Moffatt.
The Waterman asked them their busi-
ness, and. when they refused to state 1t,
they we're informed that they could not
see the bank president unless they made
known their business.
They went away, but returned twice,
with the same result. Upon their third
call the police were communicated with
and an officer was sent to the bank.
Late this afternoon the two strangers
were seen outside the bank, arrested and
q charge of vagrancy entered against
them. Upon being searched one Of
them was found to have eight sticks of dy-
Mantle in his possession.
The men give their names as w. w. Hay

are out of funds, and only wished to ask

. ing the present disturbance, AID will be
coBfned in the brigade guardhouse during
the entire stay of the brigade at Sacra-
mento. or until the brigade returns to its
station at San Francisco. It is expected
that the court will promulgate orders to
this effect to&m OrrOw afternoon.
:" During several hours to-day the thir-
teen officers of the court talked and talked
: and discussed and talked again, and after
more talking they came 10 a conclusion
! The affair has been kept extremely secret,
and the announcement of the result will
certainly cause CONSERVATION in the rank
and file of the brigade. The court-martial
has been model one, and the conduct of
: the officers composing il reflects credit on
both regiments.
= Tnere have been reports rejecting on
: the reputation of these regiments which
were rather too carelessly and inGiscrimi-
:nstely sent to all quarters. The First In
!. fautry of San Francisco is responsible for
none of tue consequences of the deplorable
: niismanagement on Wednesday last, nor
: can Barry's Third be entirely blamed.
One company did certainly violate military
. regulations, but it is quite as certain that
=: the remainder of Barry's regiment feels
keenly the embarrassing position in which
: he and his officers have been placed. The
affair was unfortunate for the Third u
fantry. and that regiment which is evil
identity otherwise loyal, deserves much
consideration and as much sympathy.
The decision of the court is settled as
. stated at this time. What may transpire
-: Before tomorrow afternoon to strengthen
or alter this verdict cannot be told.
The camp of the Second Infantry has

The Britannia Once More Defeats
the Vigilaut.

HUNTREss QUAY, Firth of Clyde, July
9-The Vigilant in to-day's racing in the
Royal Clyde Yacht Club regatta spread a
new mansail. 1t was slightly altered in
its trim. At the start the VIgllant crossed
the line two seconds ahead of the Britain
MIA. At the Cloche Lighthouse the Vigil
liant was two lengths ahead and gaining.
The VigilanPs toDsal did her but little
good and it was lowered. When under
Weymss the yachts stood long distance
out on the port track, the Vigllant going
further out than the Britannia. Near
Skelmorlie, the first mark. the two yachts
had been for some time travelling in close
company.
AS the Vigilant lost the breeze first the
Britannia hauled her in, but the Vigilant
in light air soon pulled out clear from the
Brltannia's lee until she was some lengths
ahead at Skelmorlie mark. Time was:
Vigilant, 12:14:18; Britannia, 12:15:21.
At Innelau, near Ascome, the Vigilant
was becalmed and the Britannia rolled
past her. Rounding Ascog mark the time
was: Britannia 1853, Vigilant IT :01.
At Cloche Point the Britannia was lead
ing the Vigilant 8 minutes and seconds.
and reached clean past the Brtannia's
weather. The Britannia was leading when
nearing Kilcreggan boat by two minutes.
and she easily won.
Passing Gourock the Vigilant led by "a
length. The winds were light and varia-
BILE on the way to Kiicraggan, calling for
the hes: seamanship of the yachtsmen.
The yachts from this point had weari-
some drift home. The Britannia won,
crossing the line at 5:34 :45 and the Vigi-
liant at All With time allowance the
Britannia won by IL minutes seconds.
The people here cheered the yachts as
they came IN, but the universal opinion is
that to-day's contest was no test of the
relative merits of the boats and that the
question of superiority Is not yet decided.
The Vgilant and the Britannia will have
another chance Tomorrow. meeting in the
race for the Clyde Corinthian cup, valued
