Fourth Of July Celebration-Horse
Racing, Baseball, Etc.


BEEvILLE, Tex, June 2S.-[Spe-
cial.]-Walton Camp, U. G. ", are
making extensive preparations for
a barbecue and Fourth of July cell
ebration at Beeville park and fair
grounds. The Park and Fair ASSOC
citation own about AZ acres, and
have been working like beavers,
preparing their grounds for the
Fourth, and for the fair this fall.
The grounds have been fenced, the
underground cleared out, the beau
tiful live oak groves trimmed up,
two wells bored, a windmill erect
ed, and a waterworks system put
in. The half-mile race course has
been nicely fenced and graded. The
county commissioners have had all
the gates removed and a fine road
constructed from Beeyille to the
grounds.
The Bee County Jockey club has
four races on the bill and one free
for all-sweepstake. Some fine
horses are In training on the track
by daylight every morning. There
will be an exciting race between a
fast PAGER and two champion BIZ
cyclists, besides four other bicycle
races. The Beeville Bicycle club,
Including ladies and little boys and
girls, will parade in uniforms. The
Cowboys tournaments and the base
ball game will be attractive fea-
lures. The grand ball will close the
attractions. There will be speeches
on the grounds, on behalf OF the
veterans and the Fair association.
The railroads will run cheap ex-
cursions. Everybody is invited.
Our people are jubilant over the
news that deep water at Arkansas
Pass is to be certainty this time.
Alexander Brown & Sons, the Bal
timore bankers, have put their
'ssbarrel" behind the enterprise, and
they know no such word as fail,
aud cannot afford to have their
names associated with any failure.
They have already accomplished
many more difficult and more ex-
pensive projects. Already every
thing points to such boom as
was never known before.

TWO DURRANT STORIES.
STATEMENT OF THE PRISONER WAS
READ AT THE PALACE
HOTEL.
ANOTHER RUMOR SAYS IT WAS
STOLEN FROM DEUPREY's PRI-
vATE DESK.

The latest Durrant story, which tends
in a measure to corroborate the testimony
of Miss Cunningham, is TO the effect that
Durrant's attorneys did receive letter
from the young medical student, with in
structions to open 1t only in the event of
his conviction. The earnestness of Dick
inson and Deuprey, however, to work only
good for their client, so the story goes
caused them to break the SEAL What they
read confounded them. Durrant wrote
that he saw Gibson and another young
man, member af the church, commit the
crime. This young man, according to
Captain Lees, is one of three persons
George King, Elmer Wolf or the janitor.
1t could not have been George King,
else Durrant would never have been so
foolish as to testify on the witness stand
that the young man was sitting at the
organ. 1t could not possibly have been
the ianitor. who, as is well known, was out
of the City at the time The only person
left of the three mentioned by Captain
Lees is Elmer Wolf.
All this is said to have been learned a
night or two before Deuprey made his
opening argument.
The attorney for the defense took a room
at the Palace Hotel and had several
friends on hand to witness the opening of
the letter, which Durrant positively in
structed should be returned to him. unless
convicted. What Dickinson and Deuprey
read wrought them to such high pitch of
excitement that the story was out and
gone before they knew it.
Captain Lees says there is not tho
slightest doubt in the world about the
truth of the Palace Hotel story.

RAILROAD HANDS BADLY INJURED
AND PASSENGERS ALMOST
SUFFOCATED.

SOUTH BEND, IND, Oct. 26.-East-

ger train No. 10 was wrecked at a culvert
on the Kankakee marsh, seven miles west
of here, between this city and Crums

The marsh was on fire and the train
rushed into burning culvert which the
engineer failed to see on account of the
dense smoke.
The engine left the track. The train,
consisting of mail, baggage and express car
and four coaches, was telescoped, and the
burning culvert soon set fire to the wreck.
The wind swept the flames through the
train, and in short time every car was in
ashes. The passengers were almost suffo-
Gated from the dense smoke. The injured
were brought to this city and placed in the
hospitals. The property loss is $50, 600.

RESULT OF a JOSH"
William O'Connor Arrested as a MUIR
dercr and Afterward Released.

William O'Connor Arrested as a MUIR
dercr and Afterward Released.
William O'Connor, ranch hand from
Livermore, found himself in an awkward
predicament yesterday afternoon. About
o'clock Corporal Ayers arrested him on
California street, and when he asked for an
explanation was told that he was wanted
for committing murder in Los Angeles
OConnor strenuously denied the charge,
but he was taken 10 the City Prison and
detained.
The person who gave Corporal Ayers the
information was Emil Ney, the agitator.
who told the corporal that his informant
was I. OF rien. clerk in Judge Campbells
court. The police sent word to O'Brien
and he called at police headquarters last
night about o'clock. He was consider
ably surprised when told that O'Connor
had been arrested and on seeing him in
prison was able to explain the affair. He
said he and Ney were talking on the street
about a week ago, and as he wanted to get
away from Ney he pointed to O'Connor
and said, There's man WHO'S wanted in
Los Angeles for murder and there is re-
ward OF $500 for his arrest"
O'Brien started after O'Connor and got
rid of Ney.
After this explanation O'Connor was
promptly released. He threatened to sue
the City for false arrest and imprisonment.

PEACE PREVAILS IN Sh'.'OA
MALIET0AS WILLING TO RETIRE
THE KING TO FACILITATE
A SETTLEMENT.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF LAND TO
BE Soon THROWN OPEN TO
OCCUPATION.

APIA, SAMOA, Oct. S.-Just now the po-
htical aspect of Samoa is quiet and all talk
of war has been discontinued. The peace
meeting which was to have taken place on
Mulinuu on the 25th of September did not
assemble, the Tumua people being unwill-
ing to meet the Malicious until the latter
had officially declared peace.
1t is understood that the greater part of
the Malicious are willing to retire the King
in order to facilitate a settlement. The
chances are that a general meeting will
take place about the end of this month
with this object in view. In the Supreme
Court a decision has been rendered de-
claring that the legal title to the lands of
the Polynesian Land Company lies with
the American claimants.
AS soon as some legal formalities are
complied with it is understood that 20, 900
acres which have been awarded to Messrs
Wellman & Co. of San Francisco will be
offered for sale at low rates and on good
terms in order to induce settlement.
Messrs. Hay and Schmidt, who were held
responsible for the deficit in the municipal
treasury, have paid in the amount OF the
loss, probably for the purpose of baking
any effort at investigation. The taxpayers
are not likely to let the matter rest at this
point, as they are DESTROYS of knowing
how the money came to disappear and
why Messrs. Hay and Schmidt should re-
turn it if they are not either guilty of neg
lect or peculation.
Within two miles OF town a shaft has
been sunk and a small tunnel has been
run into the hillside, and there seems to
be no doubt but that gold has been found
in small quantities. Samples of the dirt
have been sent to New Zealand for assay,
and the results ere now being anxiously
awaited.
As these islands have never been pros
pected it may be found out that we have
some rich diggings right here in our midst.
The culture of cacao and coffee is likely
soon to assume considerable proportions,
practical experience having now settled
it that these plants thrive well here and
bear very quickly the very finest products

JETER MAY NOT HOLD 1T.
The NetU Lieutenant Governor Mag B

The Neto Lieutenant Governor May Be
Thomas Flint of San Bentto.
The news telegraphed from Sacramento
that Governor Budd had appointed Will
liam Jeter of Santa Cruz Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor, to succeed Spencer G. Willard, de-
ceased was not unexpected to Republicans
There is no sure thing, however, that the
Senate of the next Legislature, if it shall
be Republican, will recognize the appoint
ment.
Many good lawyers contend that the
Governor has no authority to appoint an
officer of the legislative body. The consti-
tuition, it is said, provides q direct method
of succession in case of the Lieutenant
Governors absence from his post of duty.

otherwise. When Governor Bartlett died
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Waterman succeeded
to the Office of chief executive; the Presi-
dent of the Senate was recognized as next
in succession, but he was not appointed
Lieutenant-Governor.
Republicans who have studied the sub
iect take the ground that the Governor in
appointing a Lieutenant-Governor could
name his own successor. For example if
Budd should elect to resign a few months
before his term of Office expired Jeter
would succeed him as Governor and then
appoint his own successor as Lieutenant
Governor. Jeter could then resign and the
Lieutenant-Governor under him succeed to
gubernatorial prerogatives and appoint
some other Democrat Lieutenant-Goyer-
nor.
The Republicans are not minded to let
things go in this fashion. There is too

ton and control of the next Legislature to
allow the Governor to name the presiding
officer of the Senate.
There is hardly question that the next
State Senate can organize in its own way
and elect one of its memb ers as its presid-
ing officer. Under the constitution the
officer SO elected succeeds to the duties and
responsibilities of Lieutenant Governor.
Ultimately the dispute may go to
the courts; and then the broad question
would be presented if the appointment
did not constitute within the meaning of
the constitution an invasion Of the legis-
latiYe branch of the Government by the
executive. The duties of the executive,

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Oct. 26.-Gov-
ernor Budd was in a hurry to get a sue
cessor appointed in place of Lieutenant
Governor Willard. This morning shortly
after 1 O'Clock Edward McCabe and Mr.
Jeter drove in a carriage to tue residence
OF Judge Matthew T. Johnson of the Su-
perior Court and requested him to admin
lister the oath of office to the new Lieuten-
ant-Governor. 1t was explained to the
Judge that it was the request of Governor
Budd that the oath be administered at
that unseemly hour, as he (the Governor)
intended to leave for Southern California
this morning, and Mr.. Jeter wanted to re-
turn to his home as soon as possible.
The explanation was also made to the
Judge that 1t was desired to leave the
State government with an executive Off
Ger in the event that anything should hap
pen to Governor Budd during his Journey
TO the south.
blank form of oath was then produced
and the Judge repeated it. Mr.. Jeter swore
that he would support the constitution of
the United States and the constitution of
the State of California. and he was then
declared the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
1t is quite possible, however. that Mr..
Jeter will have to go to law over the Office
with the Hon. Tom Flint, who was Presi-
dent pro tenn. OF the Senate and who claims
that the office of Lieutenant Governor be-
longs to him.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Millsrd. Governor
Budd was met at the depot by Senator A.
]. Pedlar, General NJ. W. Miller and sew
eral other prominent citizens. The train
stopped a half-hour for supper, but the
Governor did not eat. He was too much
engaged with citizens in discussion of his
right to appoint Jeter to fill Willard s
place.
1t was contended that the Governor had
no right 70 make the appointment, while
he stoutly insisted that he had such a
right. He said he had made thorough
examination of the question at issue and
argued with Senator Pedlar, who took
the opposite view.
In answer to a question as to who would
succeed himself if he should die before his
term expired, the Governor merely re-
mdlheu tudt Ile last Legislature Hdu Ialleu
to do duty which it most certainly ought
to have performed.
He then dropped this distasteful part of
the subject, and again averred that he had
right to appoint Jeter. 1t was jocularly
remarked by one of the visitors that in
case Mr.. Jeter should ever take the
executive chair by right of his appoint
ment as Lieutenant-Governor by Budd, he
would bet four to one that the Supreme
Court would unseat Jeter. The Governor
good-naturedly SAID he was ready to accept
such wager.
By this time train was ready to start,
and after some vigorous handshaking, the
Governor climbed aboard.
