Mystery Surrounding the Identity of 6
Young Woman Cleared Up.

Mystery Surrounding the Identity of a
Young Woman Cleared Up.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-The mystery
surrounding the identity of young
woman calling herself Emily J. Free
man, which a few weeks since occupied
considerable space in the Denver and San
francisco newspapers, has been cleared
up, and it transpires that she is Annie
Mooney, who was lost at picnic in Bel
mont. San Mateo County, Cal, in 1888.
Her disappearance at that time created a
great sensation. Her father was James
Mooney. a carpenter, and though he was
certain the child was kidnapped, he was
absolutely unable to find any clew to the
child thieves, or even to fasten reason
able suspicion upon any person. 1t is
likely the child was stolen by Mary
Cuneo, the diSsOlute woman who Miss
Freeman thought was her mother. The
woman took her all over the country and
to Mexico, and then deserted the child.
Mary Cuneo is now serving term in the
County Jail for misdemeanor. She has
at all times refused to shed any light on
the case The attention OF James Mooney,
who is still living in this city, was at
tracted by the recent newspaper publica-
tions to the efforts of the police to learn
Miss Freeman Identity, anu IL occurred
to him that she might be his daughter.
He wrote to her at Denver, and she re-
sponded, answering his questions. Other
correspondence followed, and it seemed
so probable that Emily Freeman was
really Annie Mooney, that a meeting
was arranged. Miss Freeman started
West and met her father at Sacramento.
AS soon as he saw her he was convinced
she was her daughter. Annie Mooney is
now at the house of her father on Twenty
fifth street.
Mary Cuneo will say nothing about her
motives in stealing little Annie Mooney,
nor indeed will she admit that she was
the kidnaper. She never attempted to
obtain ransom from Mooney or in any
way to secure gain from her knowledge
of the stolen child's whereabouts.
Mooney notified the police of the happy
outcome of the attempt to learn who
Emily Freeman really was.

At the navy yard all ofAthe officers of

under command of Major Pope. U. s. Nj.
c., were lined up in front of the work
shops facing the waterfront. A large
number of ladies and visitors from Val
lejo witnessed the departure Of the Secre-
tary. He was driven in a carriage from
Commandant HowiSOn'S residence,
accompanied by Rear Admiral John Ir-
win, Captain HI. L. Howison and his aid,
Lieutenant l.. l.. Reamey. The officers
were all drawn up in line as the Secretary
alighted from the carriage, a salute was
given by the officers OF marines and
music from the Independence Band. AZ
ter bidding good-by to those assembled
the Secretary and his party stepped on
board the tug, the lines were soon cast Oft
and she steamed away from the yard
amid the hurrahing of the crowd anu the
firing of cannon from the yard battery.
The Fearless was gayly decorated with
flags. At the main the flag OF the Secer-
tary was displayed. From San Francisco
the Secretary will visit Monterey.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15.-Farmers
throughout the Upper San joaquin VAL
ley are jubilant over the rainstorm of
Sunday night and yesterday. Sunday
afternoon heclouds gathered and at mid
night the rain began falling. By yester-
day morning the ground was wet down
to depth OF three inches, and yesterday
the rain fell in showers until noon, when
it started in to come down heavily and
the storm continued without cessation
until late last night. At present writing
the rain appears to be about over. In
some places the hay had been cut, but
had not been placed under shelter, and
The benefit to growing crops will prove
almost incalculable. There were also
good showers in Southern California
which should greatly help laJe-sown bar
ley and other crops.
Taking the State as whole the benefit
of the late rains will offset the damage at
the ratio of 3 or to l. The storm eX-
tended to Eastern Nevada and Utah.
Rain was falling early this morning at
Newcastle and snow on the mountains
from Gold Run eastward as far as
Truckee.
POMONA, May 15-Thirty-two hum
dredths OF an inch of rain fell last night.
There was snow on the mountains. The
rain is bad for hay and grain, but good
for beets, corn and the orchards.
SANTA MARIA, May 15.-Oyer half an
inch of rain has fallen. Most of the grain
is too late to be benefited by it. 1t is
very good for beans and summer crops.
HALFMooN BAY, May 15.-It COM
menced raining here Sunday afternoon
about o'clock and rained all night. The
downfall was over half an inch. A fair
crop is insured all over the valley, partic-
ularly the beans. 1t is too late to do
much good to the pasture, but it will be
helped some.
ONTARIO, May 15.-Thirty- hun
dredths of an inch of rain fell here last
night. Nearly an inch fell on the mesa.
There is slight damage to hay, but the
rain is generally beneficial. 1t is es-
pecially welcome to the Chino beet
growers. The total fall for the season
now is go inches in town and about Ii
inches in the upper part OF the colony.
SAN JUAN, May 15.-The rain will be
of vast benefit to grain and sum mer crops
which look remarkably well in Western
San Benito. 1t comes too late for grass.
FRESNO, May 15.-Reports from the
different sections show that the damage
from the storm is nominal, and that
much wheat will be helped from the
copious rainfall. 1t is estimated that in
the county there will be an increase in
the crop of 100000 sacks over the outlook
of yesterday morning. The rain was gen.
eral. About an Inch fell yesterday even
ing and last night. The Barton vineyard
and vicinity report damage from hail OF
about one-third the first crop of grapes.
REDLANDs, May 15.-Over half an inch
of rain has fallen in twenty-four hours.

THE MURDER OF WILLIAM WILSON.
WASHINGTON, May 15.--If the Mica
raguan Government carries out its agree
ment with Minister Baker, the incident
growing out of the murder of William
Wilson, an American citizen living at
Rama, will be peaceably and satisfactorily
settled. Wilson was murdered without
provocatlon by Arguellas, the Governor
of Rama. Acting under Secretary
Gresham's instructions, Minister Baker
insisted that Arguellas be promptly tried
for murder, and be punished if found
guilty. In addition, the Minister held
that Arguellas had been sheltered by
Torres, his successor as Governor of
Rama, aud that the latter should also be
punished. Minister Baker now reports
to the Department of State that the Nj
caraguan Government has made amends
III friendly spirit. and promises to bring
the man to prompt trial.

Gov. Tillman's views on Underwear.

Gov. Tfllman's Views on Underwear.
Jerry Simpson is supposed to have
worn no socks at one time during his
farming career. Senator Peffer's whis-
kers are sufficient protection to his throat,
and he often wears no collar, and now
comes the story that Governor Tillman
of South Carolina wears no undershirt.
Three PopUlists of a kind, who practice
economy in peculiar ways.
while Tillman was a member of Con-
gresS, l heard him tell this story on him.
SELF" said Il. b. Leighton, yesterday:
.'Tillman said he was reared on his
fathers plantation in South Carolina,
and never IL all his young days covered
himself with any undergarments what
ever. lie did not even consider this lux
ury necessary when he attended school
at Penfeld, Ca, and at Greenville S. G..
Poverty did not force young Tiliman to
cast aside his under-garments for ha
licked silver spoon in his cradle, but he
simply was not inclined to adopt these
garments of modern civilization.
'.Cne day his father sent him away to
Harvard College, and desiring to see his
son fitted out in as fine style as any
Yankee boy in New England, the father
placed two suits of silk underwear in his
sons trunk. The first day young Till
man arrived at Harvard he put on one OF
the suits OF silk underwear. But he felt
uncomfortable all day; indeed, ha
imagined himself to be about as miserable
as a wolf in sheep's clothing. At the end
of the day he took the suit of silk unders
wear off. folded it carefully, and placed II
in the trunk alongside the other side. Hd
never wore either suit afterward, and from
thatd day to this has neyerworn any undeft
garments. Tillman is certainly entitled e
honors at the hands of Populists. H<
also boasts that he has never worn a9
overcoat. And he is rugged man nows0i

pit you utter one word hostile to the in

BOULDER CREEK, May 15.-About
O'Clock tonight an attempt was made to
rob the station at this place by man
named Azoff. The man walked UP to the
station agent and ordered him to throw
mp his hands. Detective Len Harris of
the Southern Pacific service, who had
previous information that the attempt
would be made. stepped out of room in
which he had been hiding and ordered
the robber to surrender, but. instead OF
obeving, Azoff turned and shot Harris in
the stomach, and made his escape toward
Los Gatos. Harris wound will probably
prove fatal. Azoff has worked around
here for over a year, but a short time ago
lost his position, and since then he has
