SEBANGE SIGNALS AT MONTEREY.
ManeuUers of Small Craft at Night Which
Are Suggestive of SntWggIers.

<dTc ONygeSIbUo OF oHtttygteTSs
MONTERREY, CAL, April d Some
strange maneuvers of small boats and
mysterious lights seen floating around the
bay at night leads to the belief that snug
Cling is being carried on extensively in this
section under the very eyes of the officials.
Monterey Bay is so located that it would
require a regiment of customs officers to
protect it.
j.. Some time ago fisherman by the name
=: of Frank Passoni while on an early morning
fishing excursion, discovered something
that is liable to create sensation in the
smuggling circles. 1t was cold morning,
and Passoni wishing to keep his fire in his
cook stove blazing raised it over the rail to
catch the breeze. In so doing it blazed up
in the air several feet. Happening to look
toward the shore he perceived similar
blaze, as though torch had been waved
in the air. His curiosity was aroused and
he again raised his cook stove and the same
result followed. For eight times did he do
this, each time receiving the same answer.
If Passoni had not been alone he would
have surely followed up the light, but he
did not like to tackle smugglers single
handed.
CeFeTdl monterey Objects nave at IlmeS
watched the coast, but without the aid of
the Government not much can be accom-
plished. At different times boats have
been seen among the various inlets that
abound in this section. Last year when
the notorious Halcyon landed eighty-three
Cinnamon in Carmel Bay, Judge Michaelis
who had been on the watch, captured nine
of the gang. They were put in jail only to
be let loose few months later. This dis
gusted many of the local enthusiasts and
officers who were trying to suppress SNUG
Cling, and now there are no watches out.
The recent suspicious maneuvers will prob
ably be looked into.

THE STORM IN COLORADO.
Many Trains Are Blockaded and Their
Is Much Loss of livestock.

Many Trains Are Btockaded and There
Is Much Loss of livestock.
DENVER, Colo, April mot train
has arrived in Denver from the East to-day
and all roads traversing the eastern por-
ton of the State are still impossible as a
result of the great storm of Friday. To-
day has been warm and clear, melting all
the snow remaining on the ground and the
delay to trains now comes from sand on
the tracks. Every cut is filled, sometimes
to the depth of from four to eight feet.
Shovels and rotary plows are the only inn
plements that can make any impression
on the obstruction.
A dispatch from Falcon reports that the
rotary plow in clearing out a cut near there
unearthed the body of a man buried in the
sand on the track, probably having frozen
to death. He has been identified as a
herder from McLean's sheep ranch.
The loss to livestock will be great, but
no estimate can be made to-day.

THE FRUIT OUTLOOK.
AprtcOts Viii Be Only Half Crop and
PrMnes MAY FaU Short.

Aprtc0ts viii Be Only Halt a Crop and
PrW1ies May Fail Short.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 7.-Colonel Philo
Hersey, president of the Santa Clara County
Fruit Exchange, in an interview on the
outlook of the fruit crop, says:
''There is little speculation on the part
of Eastern buyers, who continue to send in
orders from day to day as the goods are
needed. 1t is impossible to tell even ap-
proximately how much of last years ship
ment of fruit is now unsold in the East.
The parties who hold the fruit there refuse
to state the amount, though it is not very
large, as they continue to order from day
to day through their California agents.
Trade is quite uniform. The stocks held
in the East are going into the retailers
hands regularly and freely. Prices are not
high and there seems to be no buoyancy
of feeling among producers and dealers Of
an increase in prices. The fruit market is
one in which the bears have the best of it.
There is 40 cars of last years fruit re-
naming in the valley, the bulk of which is
prunes. The amount of fruit remaining in
the valley is about the same as that of last
year at this time, while in the East the
stock on hand is less than that held at this
time last year.
'I should advise those having on hand
stock of apricots in good selling condition
not to sell at present, but to hold it over
until next year. The severe frost that Wis
tied this vicinity and Vacaville some weeks
ago, together with the frost of April 4,
will reduce the crop of apricots one-half
that of 1894. Peaches, cherries and pears
are slightly injured by the freeze of April
4, while the damage to prunes cannot be
estimated, as the effects of the cold will
not be manifested until the middle of
June. The half-grown prune, if the pit
has been injured, withers and falls, al
though the greater proportion of prunes
injured at this stage viii turn yellow and
drop off when the size of grains of wheat.
If there be no more frosts or freezes and no
continued cold spells between now and
May Is we may expect fair crop of prunes
and peaches, and possibly an average crop
of cherries. Last week the exchange
shipped five cars of prunes and two cars of
apricotS East"

eryn of DR.. Pierce,

cry" of DR.. Pierce.
Years ago DR.. r. v. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician to the Invalids' Ho-
tel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo,
n. Y, recognizing the fact that consump-
ton was essentially germ disease, and
that a remedy which would drive the
germs and their poisons from the blood
would cu-e consumption, at last found
a medicine which cured % per cent of
all cases, if taken in the earlier stages.
The tissues of the lungs being irritated
by the germs and poisons in the blood
circulating through them, the germs find
lodgment there, and the lungs begin to
break down. Soon the general health
begins to fail, and the person feels Ian
guild, weak, faint, drowsy and confused.
This is the time to take DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery; it drives the
germs and poisons from the blood, and
has soothing effect upon the dry cough.
Golden Medical Discovery" increases
the amount and quality of the blood, thus
invigorating and fortifying the system
against disease and builds up flesh.

'One of the surest preyentiyes of sea

 Royston of St. Louis. Il have tried is and am willing to recommend it as q sov- ereign remedy. I came across the Atlan- tic in tho City of Paris We had rough voyage, and at times it looked as though the Paris was bent on turning bottom side up. Tho captain, however, said ho never knew of such a thing, and as his nautical experience was great the passen- gers were somewhat treasured. But at the very outset of the trip joined party of five citizens of tho United States, and we played poker day and night, with only needed intervals of sleep The game was only for small limit, but it was jolly sand interesting, and it effectually ban ished tho nal de mer Now and then a player would leayo just for short space to commune with the deep, but would in- variably get back in timo to play his hand and the game suffered no delay. Here was a clear case of mental excite
 mont and diversion ruling the physical man. for outside of the poker party hardly a passenger aboard escaped very pro- longed sickness. Washington Star.
