lized greater. On that day the saint, who had been so heavy that it was i'm possible to lift him, became so light that those truly faithful could raise him without any difficulty. The day was closed with grand display of fireworks at evening. The plaza was beautifully illuminated with hundreds of many colored lanterns, two bands of music were in attendance, and the throng filling the streets and plaza were treated to one of the most re- markable displays of fireworks seen anywhere. These pyrotecenics were made by Yaqui Indians who excel in their manufacture.
 THE ADJUNCTs.
 Of course the usual adjuncts of such occasions-roulette, monte, etc., circus, "merry go round" and other pastimes were in full operation, and divided with the saint the money the crowd had to blow in.
 EXCELLENT SERVICE BY THE SONORA
 RAILROAD.
 The handling of the great crowds travelling to and from the fiesta, was no small affair in transportation Ar rangemeuts had been made by Super intendent Nauglc for the best train service ever given, but the heavy storms and washouts, and the accident near Querobabi, interfered somewhat; yet everyone who wanted to do so reached Magdalena in time, ,and ample train facilities were provided to carry away all who wanted to leave at the close of the feast. Two trains each way Friday night, and special south Saturday morning, all with large San ta Fe coaches, carried away everybody without hitch or delay. Mr. Naugle is to be congratulated upon his sdc- cess in handling the tremendous traf- fic.

SAN FRANCISCO.
The Great Fiesta at Magdalena in his
 Honor

During more than two weeks has the town of Magdalena in Sonora, about sixty miles south of Nogales, been the Mecca toward which jour- neyed the deyout by thousands and the curious by hundreds. The occa- sion was the great annual feast of Saint Francis, and the railroad has run heavy trains laden with passen- gers, while the roads, lanes and bye ways leading to the sacred city have been thronged with passers, in vehi- cles and afoot, and mounted on horses, mules and burros.
 AT THE CHURCH.
 During the days of the feast a life sized image of the saint was laid in state in the center of the church, and around the bier was gathered a con- stantly changing crowd of the deyout who came to worship, and to benefit by contact with the sacred relic Kneeing by the image they kissed the face and hands, and other portions of the eifegy, accompanying in eacl instance the act of atIectionate ador ation with the payment of Mexican dollar tor more which was shot through a slot iD a recptable within the bier. As each paid his or hel dollar, they stepped aside for the next and the continual chink of the coins as they fell into the box was more I'd pid and regular than the ticking of a clock. And this steady stream O money into the strong box of thu church continued without let up o cessation for a period fully two week in duration.
 Contact with the image of the sain i is supposed to cure many ills to whicl flesh is heir, and the virtue can also b transmitted to other objects by sucl contact. Handkerchiefs, napkins, rib bons and other objects by hundred were brought in to give such contact and the happy owners went away, SC cure in possession of a charm whicl will ward of all sickness an entir year. So great was the demand fo such articles that the various booth on the outside dealing in them carrie on a thriving business. Of cours there was fee for allowing the GOV eted contract, and the man havin the job in hand was kept busily occu pied taking in tue money, shooting into the slot, and rubbing on tn saint the various articles offered Many such articles were also blesse by priest. A hundred or more devoted would gather at the alter rail, eac
 holding up the article for which tn coveted virtue was desired. In a fe hurried words the blessing of tn priest was given, a little holy watt was sprinkled over the crowd and th uplifted articles, and the job wa : done. A more successful or slickt scheme for drawing money out ofwil ! ing pockets was never before devised Another remarkable and ilteres ing feature was presented by mau deyotees who walked on their kne' through the streeets many block to and iuto church, carrying a Tor wax taper, lighted, in each ham which, still burning, was placed eith' } about the image or on the alter

Imperative that they should be sober and

trusted to them. Dozens of these teams
left Stockton for the interior every day.

thized earnestly with the Vigilance COM
mittee. Nevertheless. there was a strong
town, composed, in the main, of very
different elements. Times were flush in
Stockton at that day. Gambling saloons
were plentiful, and the gamblers formed
a class as distinct and as easily dis
tinguishable as the transfers. There
was, bitter feud between them. The
hard-working teamsters and others de-
:spised the fashionably attired, white
handed, be-ringed and be-jewelcd black
legs, while the gamblers on their part
returned scorn for scorn with interest.
Collisions were frequent. i'll which the
well-armcd card sharpers generally
gained the advantage. TO the initiated,
the graveyard bore silent testimony of
many an encounter.

drawn. Gen. Sherman, who was brought
into direct conflict with the Vigilantes

with great force against the movement.
