The Alleged Embezzler Writes
to a Los Angeles
Friend.
Good the Claims Against
Him.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 27.-The
following letter from George T. tombstone,
the Arizona merchant, a warrant for whose
arrest was sworn out by Murphy. Grant &
Co. of San Francisco, was received to-day
by quondam friend of his, who declines
to give the postmark on the envelope or
state the whereabouts of the writer. 1t is
believed, however, that tombstone is in
Sonora, Mexico.
Friend Wolfe: You will, no doubt, be sur
prised to receive this from me. You must
have wondered where in the old Harry disap-
peared to. AS regards those wholesale false
hoods about champagne, pyrotechnic displays,
etc., 1t is not necessary for me to say anything,
as 1t is known TO so many that they never had
place except in the imagination of the one
who wrote those articles. / am going to ar
range matters for Murphy. Grant & Co., but
am going to take my own convenience about
it, as consider that they acted little hastily.
guess 1t looks as if / must be guilty in my
own estimation when did not give myself up
to the Sheriff; but as you will remember in the
back advised her foster brother to conceal him
self for the present, when they were going to
arrest him, putting him in mind of the two or
three months in prison before the exami-
nation.
Well, L declined those two or three months, as
I was not acquainted with any one in Los
Angeles to bail me out. So that accounts for
my now being in this fair city of the land of
manana {to-morrow) l Shall return to Los
Angeles in about three months. With regards,
yours truly, GEORGE T. TOMBSTONE.

Delegates to the General Conference,
which ill convene at Cleveland, Ohio, in
1896, were elected. On the first ballot, Rev
:. A. Thompson, presiding elder of the
Fresno district, received 70 votes out of a
total of lis. No other candidates had a
majority vote and new ballot for the re-
naming two delegates was ordered taken.
The second ballot resulted in the election
of Rev. DR.. w. s. Matthews as the second
delegate by vote of 80 out of a total of
116. A third ballot was ordered and taken

w. A. Wright were chosen as alternates to
the General Conference.
The names of fourteen women. who pre-
sented credentials as lay delegates, were
submit tied. The Bishop announced that
the general conference had decided that
women were not eligible to mem bership in
the lay electoral conference.
The res olution recommending redis-
tricting of the church into four in stead of
three presiding elders districts was adopted
by large majority. The question of the
vote on the Hamilton constitutional
amendment was laid on the table. Sew
eral members insisted on their right to
vote on this constitutional amendment,
and, after ruling by the Bishop that
their votes must be taken. the merits of
the amendment (Which is one intended to
secure the admission of women as dele
gates to the general conference) were dis
cussed in a spirited debate, participated in
by Rev. DR.. Matthew, Rev. DR.. w. A.
Wright and others. A vote was then taken,
resulting in no faye" votes, twenty-four

A second constitutional amendment to
obtain the same result (the admission of

was submitted to a vote and the result
was: Ayes, SO; noes, 6.

committees were appointed and, being en-
titled to elect two delegates to the general

ADMISSION OF WOMEN.
Bishop Warren'S Statement
That They Were Ineligible
Caused Dismay.
AID FOR AGED MINISTERS.
Income From the Hough Gift to Be
Devoted to the Super
animated.

PASADENA, CAL, Sept. 27.-The third
days work of the NJ. E. conference pro-
ceeded with the mercury at high mark,
and although the sun was slightly over
cast during portion of the day the heat
has been intense. This was the most in
teresuing day of the session, bringing up
the much-contested point as to whether
women may be admitted as lay delegates,
and the announcement of Bishop Warren
that the general conference had decided
that women were not eligible to member
ship in the lay electoral conference was
received with dismay and deep disappoint-
ment.
The morning session opened at 9 O'Clock,
after the usual devotional exercises. The
ministerial conference was held in the
Tabernacle, while the lay conference was
in session in the church adjoining. Bishop
Warren called the meeting to order.
Mrs. e. w. Caswell through courtesy was
allowed to speak on behalf of the w. G.
T. o., which was not in the schedule of
work as arranged. Resolutions favoring
the universal celebration of the fourth
Sunday of November in each year as ITEM
perance Sunday" were introduced and re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions. A
vote of thanks was rendered Mrs. Caswell
for her address, and the conference pledged
its cooperation in efforts to overthrow the
liquor traffic.
The following were elected as directors
of the University of Southern California:
Z. S. Chase, ]. B. Green. w. A. Knighten,
g. l. Cochran, D. NJ. Welch, T. C. Hoag,
A. E. Pomeroy, B. c. Corey, E. a. Healey,
Clark Crawford and o. A. Thompson.
Property TO the value OF 900 was
decided to certain trusts which shall devote
the income thereof to the support of the
superannuated preachers of this confer
ence. This deed covers the property the
donation OF which by the Rev. Mr.. and
Mrs. A. NJ. Hough was mentioned in THE
CALLS report of Wednesdays proceedings.
A resolution was adopted by Gising

ence to the Rev. Mr.. and Mrs. A. N.
Hough for their magnificent donation.

buildings and farm, for which service they
are paid, and as result of their labors
there are bearing orchards, fields of grain
and vegetables. There was raised this year
over 300 tons Of hay, 1900 sacks of barley,
1000 bushels of corn and all the fresh veg
etables required for the vast table.
The daily routine is semi-military, there
being many army post observances. The
flag is raised and lowered when the vet
eran cannoneer fires the sunrise and SIM
set gun. NJ usic is furnished every after
noon by the Home band-an excellent
one-and there are entertainments almost
nightly in Assembly Hall, and on Sunday
divine service.
There are in the institution over a thou
sand pensioners, who are paid over $3.50, 900
yearly from Uncle Sans Golfers. Most of
them make good use of this money. The
treasurer keeps accounts with many who
put away quarterly portion; others send
it home to relatives, who thus indirectly
are watched over by the aged warriors.
Since the establishment of the home in
1888 the Improvements have been surpris-
ing. Broad avenues and graveled foot
paths have been laid out; grassy lawns,
luxuriant shrubbery and ever blooming
flowers make the place park OF beauty,
ever pleasing to both guest and members.
The main requirements for admission to
the home are, first, an honorable discharge
from the United States service in the
Mexican or Civil war; second, disability
which prevents the applicant from earning
his living by labor; third, residence in the
territory west of the Rocky Mountains
AS rule it is better for the applicant to
write 10 the home and state his case. He
can then ascertain if he is eligible. 1t is
always unwise for him to come to the
home without knowing whether or not he
can be admitted. AT present it is over
crowded, and applicants are informed that
they must wait until additional room is
provided. The management makes every
effort to care for all who apply, if they
are eligible but sometimes the extreme
limit is reached, beyond which consider
alton of safety and comfort will not allow
the home TO go.
1t is pension time at the home, and all
of the veterans who receive quarterly
donations are happy. About $50, 900 is
paid out by Treasurer Upton. This money
is sent home TO wives, sisters or Others
dependent upon the pensioners or put
away by those who have none upon whom
to expend it. 1t gets scattered among the
people and does good. J. c. HEMINGWAY.
