And the Great Wallace Shows VIII
Delight the People.
To-day the Great Wallace Shows will
give two performances in this city,
one in the afternoon and again at night.
Here is a portion of what the Cincinnati
Enquirer says of the company:
The Great Wallace Shows exhibited in
CovIngton yesterday, showing to a fair
business IN the afternoon and 10 O pack ed
house at night. This was the first oppor-
tunity people here have had TO see this
show for some years. and they could
scarcely realize what mammoth affair it
had become. 1t has grown till it now
equals in size any on the road, ,sand, TO use
circus lOcalism, is the "best hooked mp"
show ever out. 1t is bright and shining
as a new coin from the front door back.
Everything is OF the highest class, and no
sloppy weather. details are tolerated.
The horses are unquestionably the
handsomest that ever travelled with a
tented entertainment, and their trappings
are III for the equlpage of a king The
first Of the three bands in the parade is
drawn by eight blacks, all half brothers.
and there is not fifty pounds difference in
the largest and the smallest. The ring
stock is perfect, and the hippodrome
sprinters are thoroughbreds.
The menagerie is a rare collection.
There are five huge elephants, the herd
being headed by Diamond, whose weight
is nearly 200 pounds greater than that OF
the famed Jumbo. There are lions, tigers,
hyenas. leopards. camels, llamas. yaks,
pumas, zebras, birds, reptiles and
monkeys galore.
The circus performance is more than
two hours in length, and there is not a
dull act in the show. The three rings
are kept going all the time, and the man
does not live who can see the half of it at
one sitting. The performers are all richly
wardrobed and are of the up-to-date sort
in their acts. The performance is strictly
high-class throughout. Everything is in
the best OF condition and bespeaks pros
perity. All the attaches of the show are
courteous. and the patrons are made 10
feel Ike guests.

FRUIT FOR LONDON.
The Eighth Shipment of the Seas
Now on It's Way.

The Eighth shipment of the Season
Now on It's Way.
There was no sale of California fruit in
London last week, as the steamer which
left New York on the l4th inst. could not
passenger list.
The eighth shipment of deciduous fruit
from Sacramento TO London was for
warded at 2:l5 \. NJ. on Monday by the
California Fruit Transportation Com
pany. The fruit was furnished by the
following shippers: J. c. Anderson Fruit
Company, San Jose and San Lorenzo:
the National Fruit Association and others,
PlacervilIe aud CollaX, and the Hemme
Orchard and Land Company OF Hemme
1t consisted OF choice varieties Of late
pears, peaches and plnms.
Good results are expected from these
shipments. Another train will be for
warded on Monday next.
George IL. Appel, the agent for the
California Fruit Transportation Com
pany. said yesterday in speaking of these
shipments, that the outlook in London
for good prices for fresh California fruit
ls extremely favorable. lie said his COM
pany intends keeping up these shipments
during the fall months, provided growers
viii supply the proper varieties tor that
market.
Late fruits ought to be in good demand
on the other side of the Atlantic, and Cali
fornia growers should take advantage Of
the opportunity. AS the weather is be-
coming much cooler here the fruit can be
handed to much better advantage than
earlier IN the summer Ali that is needed
Is careful selection IN the way of varieties
ana quality, and proper packing.

YOUNG SEMLEREl'S BODY TAKEN Home
One of the Victims of the Yreka
Lynching Episode
His Attorney of the Opinion That the
Mob Hanged tho Wrong Man
In That Case.

| Lynching mobs do not always get hold
OF guilty men when they set out on a
lynching bee. That three Of the men
choked to death at Yreka the other night
were guilty of the murders charged
against them, there appears to be no
doubt, but there are some who claim that
the proofs against Garland Semler, the
nineteen-year-old youth who died pro-
testing his innocence, are by no means
| conclusive.
James f. Peck. a Merced lawyer,
passed through this city yesterday on his
way home with the body of young Sem
ler. Peck had been retained as Semler's
attorney, and he arrived in Yreka on
Sunday night and was to have appeared
in court on Monday in the boys behalf,
but whom he arose in the morning he was
informed that his client had been lynched.
II will be remembered, according to
the dispatches. that before he was strung
up young Semler begged the lynchers to
tell his old mother that he was innocent
! of the crime attributed to him, that of
having shot and killed Casper Meierhaus
at Bailey Hill on the 9th OF this month.
| Mr.. Peck yesterday said that un-
! son. The circumStantial evidence against
Semler, he said, was not strong. Mr..
/ Peck said that the District Attorney, q
young law student. the Constable and
Semler were standing at Meierhaus' bed

thinking the District Attorney meant the
/ Constable. replied that he had. The
! Constable, he said, had worked at a GER
| tain mill with him.
This, Mr.. Peck said, was not so, as the
! Constable never worked at the mill. 1t
was very evident he said, that owing to
the nature OF the wounded mans injury,
| he having been shot in the head. he WAS
not responsible 1or what he was saying.
When Meierhaus said he knew the Con-
stable, the District Attorney said he did
not mean the officer, but that he had re-
ierred to Semler. Meierhaus look led at
Semler and said he was the one who did
| the shooting.
For these reasons Mr. Peck said he
thought they had made a poor case
against Semler, and that he should have
been given a chance to prove his inno-
cence

FEAR FAILURE.
Navy Department Officials Think the
Ammen Ram Cannot Make Required
Speed.

Boston, July ga special from Wash
ington to the Globe says: Officials of the
Navy Department are forced to admit
somewhat reluctantly that the Ammen
ram is failure, which, if true, will be
the first failure to record since the work
of building up the new navy, inaugural
ed by Secretary Whitney, was practically
put into execution.
At the time when Admiral Ammen
first projected his ram there were many
naval officers who were disposed to ques-
tion its practical utility, but Congress
authorized it's construction and made the
necessary appropriations.
The vessel has only few lightIguns
designed principally to repel the attacks
of torpedo boats, it's offensive weapon
consisting of a heavy and unusually
strong ram with which it is intended the
vessel is to ram and sink an enemy's
ship Such vessel to be a success must
not only be fast enough to overhaul the
ship it intends to ram, but also to be
able to escape from the enemy. While it
can ram and would probably be able to
| send to the bottom battle ship many
times it's size and tonnage it would be de-
| fenseless against comparatively small
cruiser. The ram, however, has never
been able to make the seventeen knots
required by the contract and some of the
officials in the Navy Department. are
frank, enough sto say they do not believe
the speed can be got out of the ship.
On her contractors trial it was found
that the ram threw up too much water
forward and aft buried herself in the
waves which was.one reason assigned for
the loss of speed. 1t was thought that if
the pitch of the propellers was changed
an additional knot or so might be gained
and the bureau of steam engineering OF
the navy hasLbeen engaged in designing

be given another trip by her contractors,
