The IL Eighth Annual Meeting Began Last

The eighth annual meeting OF the
General Congregational association of
Southern California began last night in

ner Sixth and Hill streets.
About 200 delegates will be in atten-
dance at the meeting. which continues

Rev. l.. III. Tracy, of Pomona, deliv-
cred the opening sermon, taking as his
topic. Gods Leadership of His Church,
from Mum. 9 :23. Alter short intro
duction he spoke of the diuquietude and
unrest of the American people, as we'll
as the entire world, and said that the
first duty of the church is to look to God
for guidance. He said that one cause of
oi this unrest is unbelief. He spoke of
the social unrest and said that the
church was not to occupy itself in right
ing things, but in making righteous
men. sIn speaking OF the numerous
criticisms OF msn toward the church, he
asserted that the church never had q
more cheerful prospect than at present,
that conseryativeness was not always
the safest.
An interesting programme is arranged
for today.

A CLASH OF IDEAS.
TWO SIDES TO THE CHARTER
REVISION SCHEME.
The Ideas of tho Councilmen Do Not
Harmonic Exactly With Those
OF the Citizens
League.

Prominent merchants, representing
the Citizens league, met with members
of the city council and the city attorney
yesterday afternoon in the council cham
ber. The purpose was the further dis.
cussion Of the charter revision project.
As yet the two elements, the council
on the one side and the merchants on
the other, are working at cross purposes.
The Citizens league favor q charter un.
der the provisions of which the mayor
will appoint all the city officials. espe-
oially the city attorney, engineer and
auditor. The league would have the ap-
pointive power vested absolutely in the
mayor, also, while the council will object
to this and ask that the appointments
be subject to the confirmation Of the
council.
The city attorney. on the third hand,
advocates the appointing by the mayor
of only such officials as the police and
fire commissioners.
The city attorney presented yesterday
the draft of an amendment calculated
to do away with the Office of city
assessor and tax collector, making the
work OF assessment and collection OF
taxes fall upon the county officials.
The plan as outlined met with the
approval of nearly everyone present.
A motion was made and carried that
the charter hs so arranged that the city
elections shall take place on the first
Monday in April, instead Of the first
Monday in December.
During the discussion of this plan 1t
was developed that the reason for hold
ing the election in the spring was to re-
move it as far as possible from the
county and state elections, when the
party spirit is SO intense.
1t ia evident that there is much of the
Citizens league revision idea which
does not strike the council very favor
ably as yet, and many more meetings
such as was held yesterday will be nec-
essary before the two bodies can be
brought together on all the various ram
ificstions of the charter revision buei-

BARRED BIZ THE STARUTE.

Judge Shaw Decides tho Case of lIascarsl
VS.. Hamilton.
Judge Shaw decided the case of Jose
Mascarel vs. Adelaide Hamilton ct al.
yesterday. in accordance with an opinion
filed by him. II was an action on q
promissory note and mortgage. Judge
Shaw holds that. note for $4,000 was
declared due before the time $1,000
note was given. He holds that the note
became due in January, 1889: that more
than four years elapsed before the suit
was begun snd that the action is barred
by the statute OF limitations.
The court devotes considerable atten-
ton in the opinion after 30 ruling to the
attitude of Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton in
the transaction, saying:
''Had it not been barred. | should
hold that while there is no evidence Of
fraud on the part OF either of the
Hamiltona at the time the new note
was given, yet their action in taking ad-
vantage OF the defect in the execution OF
the new mortgage when they were eued
ON it and knew that the plaintiff relied
on the new mortgage when he entered
satisfaction OF the old one, constituted a
fraud on the plaintiff from which equity
would relieve him by removing the sat
isfaction OF the $4,000 mortgage and al
lowing 1t to be foreclosed."
The court also Gays: 81 am also OF
the opinion that plaintiff must be
deemed to have discovered the facta
constituting the fraud at the time the
aaswer Of Mrs. Hamilton in the case of
Mesnager vs. Hamilton was filed and
served. The filing of the answer was
itself one OF the acts constituting the
fraud, and il contained statement CT
all the other facts"

From the looks OF things, the troubles
OF Osmond Day have just begun in this
city. Day is the nortorious Englismsn
whom Detective Goodman arrested Tor
vagrancy. He was arrsigned in Justice
Austin's court yesterday and released
on $50 bail to appear for trial next Fri
. day at 80.
In connection with Days arrsht,
Charles Kent. apparently highly re-
spectable gentleman, writes that he has
been one of number who, for the last
two montha, has been under Days man
agement in giving frst-class entertain
ment in surrounding towns. Mr.. Kent
says the entertainment was not a fake,
and he vouches his honor that every
thing advertised On the programme was
given. He further says, that 80 far as
he knows, Day has proven himself to be
an honest, honorable gentleman, but
this certainly contrsdiota all public
opinion oil the fellow.

Suicide of w. G. Gribbio In q First-street
Lodging House..
W. @. Gribble, young man, was
found dead in bed In lodging house at
3l9 East First street, yesterday morning.
1t took but cnrsory examination to
find that he died from morphine poison
ing, evidently administered by his own
hand.
Gribble went to the place only week
ago. A friend OF his, on calling to see
him at the address given, heard no re-
sponse to knock on his door. and an
investigation showed that he had killed
himself. He came to this city some
months ago.
1t ia understood that the deceased has
two brothers in Bakerntield, whore he
once reaided. They have been notified.
Coroner Gates will hold an inquest upon
Gribbles body at the undertaking

The Peculiar Manner ia Which W. ID.
Gray Eiuded the Sheriff.
Mrs. W. ID. Gray of Oceanside ia at
present very much distressed woman.
She is worried on account OF her hus>
band kidnapping their 5-yesr.old son and
getting out of the state with him on the
way east. 1t now appears that Gray had
with him, beside the child Chalmers,
his two grown sisters.
He left Oceanside with the boy last
Saturday, going straight through Los
Angelica en- route east.
At Fresno Gray was intercepted and
the boy arrested at the request Of Sheriff
Cline, but before Deputy Sheriff Will
liam Cline could reach the place the
city attorney advised the officer to re-
lease the boy, which was done.
SO when Deputy Cline reached Fresno
he found that Gray had flown. and he
returned here yesterday. Gray, his
sisters and the child were soon out of
the state.

my words and guessed more, was seized
with fear and lifted her hands, saying:
Course not the awful gods, bcseech
you, lest some terrible thing befall you ut

thought that you have an evil spirit and
not good one, and then you must die

Thus raved on, being mad with fear
and impotent anger, while the Princess

I saw that the mind Of Otomie wandered
from my words, for she was staring to.
ward the east like one who sees vision.
Then looked also toward the cast and
saw the sky was alight there, for from
tho edge of the horizon to the highest parts
Of heaven spread fan Of pale and fearful
light powdered over with sparks OF lire,
the handle of the fan resting on the earth,
as it were, while its wings covered the
eastern sky. Now I ceased my cursing and
stood transf1ed, and as stood CRY of
terror arose from all the precincts of the
palace, and people poured from every door
to gaze upon the portent that fared and
blazed in the east. Presently Montezuma
himself came out, attended by his great
lords, and in that CHASTITY light I saw that
his lips worked and his hands writhed
over each other. Nor was the miracle done
with, for anon from the clear sky that
hung over the city descended ball OF fire,
which seemed to rest upon the points OF

Now cries of fear and lamentation arose

know why, for 1t may well be that the
blaze of light which we saw on that and
after nights was nothing but the bright
ness of a comet, and that the fTs In the
temple was caused by thunderbolt. But
to these people, and more especially to
Montezuma, whose mind was filled already
with rumors of the coming Of strange
