ITS VIRTUE INDICATED.
The Indignation Wreaked by
Masked Men on the Mis-
mated Couple.
COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS
Are Then Driven Out
of Town.

WALLA WALLA, WASH, June 9.-Fifty
masked men, heavily armed, took Joseph
Fossati and Robie Allen, colored woman,
to the edge of town and applied coat of
tar and feathers to them early this morn
ing.
Shortly after midnight a body of men
wearing masks over their faces went to the
house occupied by the woman. A hack
was driven up to the front door, the men
broke open the door and dragged Fossati
and the woman out and placed them in the
hack, which was driven to the outskirts of
the city.
Their clothes were torn off and heavy
coat of tar and feathers applied, and the
two were ordered to leave the city.
The affair was well planned and exc
cuted the thoroughfare through which the
hack passed being guarded by armed men,
and any attempt to stop them would have
been futile.
Although Fossati is the son of highly
respectable family and has had more than
the average advantages in life, he has per-
sisted in living with this woman, and on
Friday they went to Dayton, where they
were married.
Mrs. D. Fossati, the mother of young
Fossati, is Frustrated with grief and is in a
precarious condition.

RAIN AND HAIL STORM.
Minnesota and the Ddkotas Tfsited by
Tremendous DOtcnpour.

Minnesota and the Dakotas Tisited by q
Tremendous Dotcnpour.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 9-The
Northwest was to-day visited by the worst
rain and hail storm for years. All reports
received thus far indicate that the rain
was general all over Minnesota and the
Dakotas.
In Minneapolis the rainfall was ~
inches and the storm did not last long. It
was accompanied by heavy lightning and
considerable damage was done Several
houses in this city were struck and num-
Der of people rendered senseless.
Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond, with a child
in her arms, was thrown down the cellar by
the force of the shock. She is seriously in
jured. Many electric street cars were
burned out, and the electric wires suf-
fered.
There are reports of bad washouts in the
country, especially at Elk River, where the
bridges have been washed away.
The great rain only adds to the prospects
of enormous crops in this section, and it
was not severe enough to do any damage
in this respect so far as known.

YORK At MARE ISLAND.
1t Is No,c Employing Force of About
900 Men.

600 Men.
VALLEJO, CAL, June 9.-The work of
putting on iron plates has commenced on
board of the new tug, now under course of
construction at the navy yard. AS the
material is about all at hand, no delays are
expected in her completion. Her model is
pronounced by experts as well as land
lubbers to be an excellent one. When COM
pleted, she will without doubt render a
good account of herself, not only in work
manship, but as to speed.
A large force of men are now employed
on the flagship Hartford, some sixty ad-
ditional men being called for during the
past week. Her sides are pretty well torn
away, but the work is kept in hand in such
a manner that, should the drydock be
required in haste, she can soon be taken
out. There is no likelihood that center
caisson will ever be fitted in the present
immense and costly structure, but if any
improvement is made it will be to build a
new dock entirely.
Very little is being done toward repair
ing the Boston, as there is no immediate
call for her in any section of the Pacific.
The court-martial of Lieutenant Bu-
chanan will commence Monday morning.
Ihe case OF Lieutenant Dorm was COM
pleted Thursday, and the findings will be
sent to the Secretary of the Navy. While
their character is not known and will not
be until sent out from the Secretary s
office, it is the general impression that no
blame has been found to rest on any of the
officers.
The force at Mare Island now numbers
900 men, larger than has been employed
since the last election, and is likely to be
maintained at this standing, as there ap.
pears to be abundant work in sight for the
next year.

CAMP BUDD At VALLEJO,
Cordial Reception Given to the
Members of the Second
Regiment.
Notable Visitors Expected to Arrive
at the Encampment During
the Week.

VALLEJO, CAL, June Scamp Budd is
now established, and to-day thousands of
visitors wended their way to the white
city" on the outskirts of the town. Colonel
Guthrie is highly pleased at the location
and the reception rendered the Second
Regiment by the citizens.
After good nights rest the militia boys
who were allowed leave visited the city
proper, and were delighted with its ap-
pearance.
Rough work commences tomorrow, and
during encampment week considerable at
tention will be paid to field work.
Governor Budd will arrive without fail,
health permitting, during the week. Col
onel Guthrie issued his first orders this
morning, calling for Companies B, G, D
and H to assemble for target practice dur
ing the week.
%ajor-Ge1eral Dinond viii arrive here
tomorrow night or Tuesday.
From one end of the city to the other
decorations are a prominent feature. The
residents have spared no pains and the
business men have shown decided ten
dency to welcome the honored guests and
the camp followers.
Majors Wallace and Shubern (retiredl
are visitors to Camp Budd.
At p. NJ. daily the dress parade will fol
low the regular daily tasks and there will
be guard mount at 5:45.
The officers of the First Regiment were
visitors to Vallejo this morning, and more
than likely the encampment of that regi
ment in Vallejo will follow the latter part
of July or in August.

THE COAST RAILROAD.
1t Is No,c Reported 1t HtH Reach SAINT.
Ynes Rirer in September.

Inex htter an oeptenfceT.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL. June IA
Lompoc paper is authority for the state
ment that the time now set for the compile
ton of the coast railway to the Santa
Ynez River is the first of September and
that Lompoc will be the terminus until
September, 1896, when Gaviota will be
passed. There is a serious misunder-
standing somewhere, for Santa Barbara
expects to have the road completed and
through trains running by another spring
and has the word of high officials in rail
road circles as the basis for these anticipa-
tions.
1t now looks as if the fertile Lompoc
Valley, whose development has been so
long delayed through the lack of railroad
facilities, may be connected with the out
side world by two lines of steel track at
no distant day. The narrow-gauge road,
whose business is seriously threatened by
the building of the coast line has been
quietly investigating the feasibility of
building branch from Harris Station to
Lompoc, by way of Catherwood canyon,
over the old Purissima rancho and the sur
vey made it appear so feasible that Super
intendent Johnson recommends It's imme-
diate construction.

OF UNUSUAL DIMENSIONS.
Solid Masses of Silver Sulphur
cts Found in Considerable
Quantity.
PORT OF ENTRY QUESTION
1t Still DiSturbs the Minds Of the
Merchants Of Santa
Barbara.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, June 9.-The
sloop Restless yesterday returned from
Anacapa Island bringing back several
Santa Barbara gentlemen who for week
or so past have been prospecting for
precious metals upon that rocky point of
the channel archipelago.
They were led to examine into the
mineral resources of Anacapa by the
tradition that an old Spanish mine of
fabulous richness existed there, the secret
of whose location was lost.
A member of this party visiting the
island discovered a great ledge of white
quartz and broke off some specimens
which, being assayed after his return to the
mainland, showed moderate amount of
gold. On his next trip several of his
friends joined him for the fun of the ex-
cursion rather than with any faith in the
Importance of the find.
Walking along the beach their attention
was drawn to an unusual deposit of black
sand at point near one of the picturesque
arches for which the island is famous. He
scooped up cupful, which proved to be
sprinkled with silver sulphurets and
which afterward assayed $40 to the ton.
There is no water fit for drinking on the
island and after chipping some fragments
from the ledge the party came back to the
mainland. These fragments assayed SIS
silver and 50 gold to the ton, and as this
was a promising assay for outcroppings
they entered the ledge and a day or two
later returned there for thorough investi-
CATION of the locality. They found we'll
defined quartz hssure 100 feet wide. ex-
tending from tie waters edge up the face
of steep cliff This deposit is crossed
and recrossed by mineral veins. A blast
| was put in and quantity of the speci-
mems obtained were apparently much
richer in character than those forming the
| base of the original assays, showing solid
masses of silver sulphurets in considerable
quantity.
| The rock in which these sulphurets are
found is of a peculiar nature, and will be
made the subject of special investigation
The general impression of old miners who
have examined these specimens is that
these amateur prospectors have struck g
rich lead, and that the enormous ore body
makes the discovery one of importance.
| E. B. Pratt, John Reseigh and Samuel
Burtis are the gentlemen prominent in this
new mining enterprise on our channel
islands, with one or two others, whose
names cannot be mentioned at present.

THE BUSINESS MANS LUNCH.
Hard Work and Indigestion 90
Hand i'm Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in,
robs the stomach of necessary blood
and this is also true of hard physical
labor.
When FIVE horsepower engine is
made to do ten horsepower work some
thing is going to break. Very often the
hard-worked man coming from the field
or the Office will "bolt ~ his food in
few minutes which will take hours to
digest. Then too, many foods are about
as useful in the stomach as a keg of
nails would be in fire under boiler.
The ill-used stomach refuses to do its
work without the proper stimulus which
it gets from the blood and nerves. The
nerves are weak and "ready to break"
because they do not get the nourish-
ment they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly
wide awake when the overworked man
attempts to find rest in bed.
The application of common sense in
the treatment of the stomach and the
whole system brings to the busy man
the full enjoyment of life and healthy
digestion when he takes Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets to relieve a bilious
stomach or after a too hearty meal,
and Or. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry to purify, enrich and vitalize the
blood. The "Pellets" are tiny sugar
coated pills made of highly concentrated
vegetable ingredients which relieve the
stomach of all offending matters easily
and thoroughly. They need only be
taken for a short time to cure the bill
BUSINESS, constipation and s1othfulness,
or torpor, of the liver; then the Medi-
cal Discovery" should be taken in tea
spoonful doses to increase the blood
and enrich it. 1t has a peculiar effect
upon the lining membranes of the stom-
ach and bowels, toning up and strength
ening them for all time. The whole
system feels the effect of the pure blood
coursing through the body and the
nerves are vitalized and strengthened,
not deadened, or put to sleep, as the
so-ca1led celery compounds and nerve
mixtures debut refreshed and fed on
the food they need for health. If you
suffer from indigestion, dyspepsia, nerv-
BUSINESS, or impure blood and disordered
stomach, you can cure yonrseJ with
DR.. PieIce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Flames.
Valuable Timber Is Destroyed and
Manufacturing Plants Are
Threatened.

BRADFORD, PA, June 9.-The forest
fires of last week began burning fiercely
again yesterday, and are still burning. 1t
was thought the recent rains had started
vegetation sufficiently to prevent further
trouble. Fires are reported in the vicinity
of the Kane oil field, and force of men is
fighting the flames. No damage has been
done there SO far.
Ormsby is again the scene of destructive
fires, and large amount of valuable tim
Der has been destroyed. Fires are re-
ported in the vicinity of Mount Alton and
Mount Jewett. At the latter place some
timber land was burned over. and the
Bradford Chemical Works are in great
danger of being destroyed unless the wind
shifts.
A destructive fire was burning at Sugar
Run, small lumber town eighteen miles
west of here, to-day, and destroyed a
trestle on the Allegheny and Konza Rail-
road. A large amount of timber has been
burned.

IN INTERESTING BALL GAME.
1t Abounds IA. Fine PIays-Ihe Otympics
Defeated.

Defeated.
VALLEJO, CAL, June 9.-The Olympics
of San Francisco were defeated by the
Geary Bros. nine in ball game this after
noon. The game was exciting all through.
The score at the close stood: Olympics 3,
Geary Bros 4. The pitchers were Cooney
and Murphy. Few errors were made.
Fully 1900 people witnessed the game,
which was the best ever played on this
diamond.
Until the last inning the score stood to
in favor of the local nine. The Olymplcs
scored in the last half of the ninth, but
Cooney's superb pitching and phenomenal
work on the part of Piquini, the catcher,
saved the game.
Hundreds of the visiting militiamen
watched the game with interest.
The field work of the players was excel
lent, and the base-running was of a circus
character and served to keep the interest
alive. Since the organization of the local
nine it was the best game ever played here.
and it was well-earned victory
During the early part of the game
O'Kane, the catcher of the Olympics, was
injured, but not seriously, and was COM
PEELED to take to the field. Cordes, who
was substituted, did WELL
Throughout the game clever plays were
made. At a critical moment, in the last
hall inning, when two men were on bases,
Cooney threw third man at the bat out,
and the applause which followed was
Oeafening.

STILL INDIGNANT.

Mach DsSsatisfaction at the Port of Entry
Question at Santa Barbara.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, June O.
There has been no abatement in the indig-
nation felt by Santa Barbaras business
men since the explanation has been re-
ceived that the late ruling of the Secretary
of the Treasury means that all foreign
ships shall first proceed to a regular port
of entry and take out papers before dis
charging cargo here. Santa Barbara's i'm
ports come exclusively from ships sailing
south or southeast. This means that these
vessels shall pass directly by this port, pro,
ceed 120 miles out of their course to Los
Angeles, lay up at that port until the Gus
toms officials complete their inspection o1
their cargoes and issue the necessary
papers, then double on their course, re.
turning 100 miles to Santa Barbara.
This ruling is prohibitory of all foreign
commerce, and were a single vessel to per.
severe in landing her cargo here after con,
forming to these requirements, which is
not probable, the consequent high freight
charges to our merchants would be Sc.
we're hardship, ana would impose heavy
tax upon our people. The feeling il
strong here that petition should be al
once drawn up and signed by every loya
Santa Barbara man, asking that this rul
ing should be reversed, while stout efforts
should be put forth next fall to have Santa
Barbara declared a port of entry that she
may be free from such hurtful edicts il
the future.
