PARKER VALENTINES FORTUNE
He Will Be Arrested for Murder When
He Returns to Claim 1t.

He Will Be Arrested for Murder When
He Returns to Claim 1t.
San Francisco, August 3O.-Parker
Pearson Valentine, who was last heard
of in Colorado, is the heir to about
800, 900 worth of property, left him
by his mother, Lucy A. Valentine, who
died in Wisconsin recently. The
chances are that the heir will not
hasten to appear to claim his fortune,
for the reason that if he does he stands
a good chance of being arrested for a
murder committed in Minneapolis
twenty years ago.
In the probate court today the public
administrator desired to secure the ad-
ministration of that part of Mrs. Val
entine's estate which is located in this
county. This property consists of an
interest in the estate of the late Hiram
Pearson, valued at about $4,000. 1t
was contended that the administration
of the San Francisco part of the estate
should go to J. M. Reay, who is named
as executor of the Milwaukee estate.
1t was stated in court today that
young Valentine fed from home when
II, returning five years later with a
fortune of $50, 900 made in real estate.
He married against the wishes of his
mother and in few months, discover
ing evidences of his wife's unfaithful-
ness, killed her lover and fled. He
afterwards went to his mothers house
and told of the crime. He obtained no
sympathy from her and he left the
house, never to return. She sought
for him in vain. In making her will,
besides bequeathing him all her prop
erty, she established trust fund to be
used in searching for the missing son.
If he is not found the property all goes
to st. Johns home, in Milwaukee.
The case was continued for two weeks
in order to gain the necessary time for
evidence to arrive from Wisconsin.

Three Hundred Were Killed.

Constantiople, August 30.-Reports
have been received of a recent attack
of the band of Bulgarians on the Mo-
hammedan village of Dospat, across
the Turkish frontier, in the Rhodope
mountains, as cabled August Is. The
attack, it appears, occurred at dawn,
and while the villagers were asleep
The Bulgarians used dynaymite bombs
and set fire to the houses. While they
tried to escape, men, women and
children, it is claimed, were killed
indiscriminately. According to one
version of the affair, 800 were killed.

Compass Was Wrong.
p.rdop. Or, August 31.-The ILL
s,.d tank steamer Bawnmore, which
-'n ashore Wednesday in fog two
LILO. north Of Cape Blanco, lies in
-,nch the same position as when she
,rnc, All of the crew escaped to the
.bora in safety by means Of small boats
the sen was quite calm last night,
and thew had no difficulty in reaching
,b4 land. Captain Woodside and his
n,;fa and the crew are camped on the
hsacb near the scene of the wreck, and
viii remain there as long as there is
any hope Of saving anything.
The ship lies broadside to the sea,
.hout 200 feet from shore. She has
.-ttled in the sand to the depth of
about twelve feet, and the sand is fast
riIing I'D about her. 1t is the general
mnion here that she will be COM
Dletely buried in about week. The
steamer is not leaking yet.
An effort was made today to Tighten
her stem, but after throwing out thirty
ions of -four, the captain decided the
attempt was useless. Captain Wood
SIDE telegraphed to San Francisco for
the tug Monarch, which left that place
this morning, and will attempts to save
the vessel The captain says his COM
pass was deranged, for, according to his
reckoning the steamer should have
been twenty miles off shore.
1t is no wonder Captain Woodside's
compass did not work right, for the
deck was piled high with street cars,
steam launches, lighters and other iron
and steel cargo. 1t is evident that
the steamer was going ahead at full
speed when she struck, the unfortunate
skipper thinking he was steering in a
sutherly direction. Why he persisted
in hugging the shore when he had the
whole Pacific ocean to the westward of
him cannot be understood, especially
as he was not compelled to make stops
at coast ports. He had plenty of ex-
perience in navigating through fog and
smoke on his trip up the coast, and his
friends here cannot understand why he
did not stand we'll out to sea after leav-
ing the straits. He probably wanted to
save as much time as possible, but in
doing 50 has placed his vessel in most
unfortunate position.
1t is thought the steamer may yet be
saved. Though she is rapidly settling
in the sand, as the Wetmore did, an
attempt will be made to dislodge her,
and the powerful tug Monarch is
scanning north from San Francisco for
that purpose. If the steamer cannot
be saved, they will try to land as much
Of the cargo as possible. The Bawn-
more is not likely to break up right
away, unless a storm should come up,
as she is very compactly built vessel.
The steamer is valued at 1925, 900, and
her cargo at 500, 1000. Both are insured.

THIRTEEN MINERS LOST
hhtombed by the A occidental FLOODING
of Colorado Mines.

Central City, Colo, August al
Inc accidental flooding of the Ameri-
Gus and the Sleepy Hollow mines, this
afternoon, caused the death, it is be.
lleved, of thirteen miners. Every
effort has been made to rescue the men.
but little hope is entertained.
Soon after 3 o'clock the water in the
lower workings of the Fisk mine. east
OF the main shaft, broke through the
old workings of a vein which had not
been worked for number of wears.
Coursing eastward, it struck the Amer.
lcus, where two Italian miners, whose
names have not been learned, were at
work in the lower part of the shaft.
They were both drowned. In it's course
the water diverted to the Sleepy Hol-
low mine, the easterly portion of the
Fisk vein.
Fourteen men were working in the
Sleepy Hollow, three of whom es-
capped.
A courier was sent to the adjacent
mines, and all their workmen escaped.
Those in the Sleepy Hollow, whose es-
cape was shut off, were:
N. Vegas, B. Broken, Brewer P.
Risk, William P. Risk, Thomas Rouse,
Thomas Williams, M. Placoni,
Thomas Calbis, J. Harris, S. Valero,
John Parks
The sounding of the whistle gave
the first signal of the disaster. and
soon the shaft building of the Sleepy
Hollow mine was so packed with the
families and friends of the imprisoned
miners and those anxious to render as
sistance that it was almost impossible
for the work of attempting rescue to
proceed.
Deputy Sheriff Williams finally ar
rived on the grounds, the building was
cleared, and practical miners offered
their services in lowering the bucket.
The greatest depth attained was $50
feet. The accumulated gas forced up
by the rising waters was such that a
candle would not burn at a greater
depth.
A second effort was then made, a
large sized safety lamp having been
placed in the bucket. The rescuer who
first descended, H. P. Risk, was found
at the 33O-foot level. On reaching the
surface he was almost in an insensible
condition. Other volunteers went
down afterward, but were not success
full in reaching a lower point in the
shaft, owing to the rising of the water.
Extra water buckets were sent for
and brought to the mine, which are
now working with view to lowering
the water. The managers of the prop
critics were on the ground, and were
very assiduous in their efforts to relieve
the men. The two in the Americas
are without doubt dead. Those in the
Sleepy Hollow, unless they can be
found in the slopes, have met death in
a similar manner.
Ever since the closing down of the
pumps of the incline shaft of the new
Gregory Mining Company, the water
in that shaft has been rising gradually
and the owners of the Fisk mine have
been driven out of the lower to the
upper workings. This was due to the
inability of the owners of the Fisk and
Sleepy Hollow mines to agree on a
plan to pro-rate the drainage.

EVERYTHING HAS WHEELS.
A Sermon Preached in Chicago on ..The
Ethics Of Bicycling"

Ethics Of bicycling"
Chicago, August 2S.-Dr. j. Spencer
kennard, of the Belden avenue Bap.
list church, preached last night on
The Ethics of BICYCLING" from the
text: Behold, he wrought work on
the Wheels" jeremiah xviii:3. He
said, among other things:
The entrance of wheels into society
marked the transition from savagery to
civilization. What vast place this
wheel holds in human thought and
life. The very consultations move in
cycles, the earth revolves with double
motion. We think revolution of the
seasons; time is marked by revolving
wheels; wheels turn the worlds in
dustries and the worlds locomotion.
1.-The latest development is human
ity on wheels. The evolution of the
bicycle and its swift march of conquest
is now chiefly and universally in evil
dence. Within year from being an
occasional toy, it has leaped into do
minion of half a million. 1t has come
to stay, and so we must make the best
of it. A state of things still more SER
ious is likely to develop in the change
OF habits and manners as between the
sexes. We have easily adjusted our
ideas to the sight of the gentler sex on
wheels Nor is there a reasonable
change in the conventional dress of
that sex to be other than approved in
solar as it tends to comfort in riding.
The stress of the true woman's conten-
ton as against the new woman will be
to assist in maintaining a proper limit,
in guarding against needless display
Of form and assimilation Of masculin-
ity of appearance.
Let us welcome the bicycle as
boon to humanity and guard it's use
from excuses and immoral dissipa-
tons, and trust that with chivalric
on the part of both sexes
over each others sacred prerogatives.
it will be a blessing to social inter-
course rather than a peril"

MINISTER DENNY HEARD FROM
Matters in China Are Progressing in a
Satisfactory Manner.

Satisfactory Manner.
Washington, August 3O.-The de-
partment has received cable advices
from Minister DENLY, dated August
81, that Hixson, consul at Foo Chow,
started for Kut Elm under orders from
him, to investigate the recent riots in
the early part of the month. Hixson
went with the consent of the Chinese
government and under the protection
Of an escort furnished by the provincial
authorities. He was accompanied by
Commander Newell, of the Detroit.
The Flu Cheng commission will begin
work as soon as the British consul at
Chung King can leave his post.
The late viceroy of Sc Chuen, Liu
Pin Ching. has not been appointed by
the Peking government, as its commits
sioner for the investigation of either
the June or August riots, but has re-
ceived orders from the emperor to re.
main at Cheng Tu until his conduct
prior to and during the riots has been
thoroughly investigated. The first
paragraph of the above statement COM
pletely disposes of the story sent out
from Washington few days ago to
the effect that Consul Hixson had pro.
ceeded hastily and without authority.
The whole statement also disposes of
another baseless story that Minister
Denby's course is unsatisfactory, and
he is likely to be recalled. 1t is stated
at the department that matters are
progressing in China in an entirely
satisfactory manner.

QUARRELOUS CHINESE
San Francisco's Mongolians
Try Boycotting.
MAY DISRUPT SIX COMPANIES
The Chinese Minister at Washington
Has Been Appealed to to Settle
Their Difficulties.

San Francisco, August 3O.-The fac
tlonal fight that has been going ON for
some time in Chinatown between the
See Yup and Sam Yup families has
eliminated in the disruption of the Six
Companies, the most powerful organi-
zation ever instituted by the Chinese in
this country. All the efforts of Con-
sul-General Ii Yung Yew and other
prominent Chinese to bring about a
settlement of the differences have re-
suited in failure, and the Chinese min
lister at Washington has announced his
intention of coming to San Francisco
and trying his powers as a peacemaker.
The secession of the See Yups from
the Six Companies leaves the latter
with the small end Of the organization
and depleted treasury. The boycott
started by the See Yups has nearly
ruined the Sam Yup merchants, and if
not ended soon it will cause the retire.
ment from business of a large number
of firms. The boycott is not confined
to this city, but is being extended to
every place in the United States where
Chinese reside in any numbers.
This state of affairs has been tele-
graphed to the minister. A few days
ago he informed the Chinese of this
city that unless the boycott was de-
clared off within ten days from the
date of his telegram, he would come to
San Francisco and take hand in the
controversy. This is understood to
mean that some of the leaders in the
war may expect to lose their heads
