HONORS FOR CAL|FORN|ANS
Coast MarkSmen the Guests of
the Winchester Arms
Company.
High Scores of Helm and Strecker
Not Likely to Be Beaten
at the Fest.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 7.-George
Helm and the rest of the San Francisco
boys put in an appearance at Glendale
Park to-day, having come down from New
Haven last night. They had royal time
with the Winchester Arms Company and
enjoyed themselves. The officials of the
company had carriages to meet them at
the depot and they were driven to the fac
tory. Having exhausted the sights there,
they were made the recipients of splen-
did banquet and passed the time until
their train was due in sightseeing. The
company gave the Californians their
choice of any rife in the factory to be
taken by them as souvenir of their visit.
The shooting to-day, while quite up to
the average, did not develop any of the
sensational features of previous days. A.
Strecker's 81 on the man is still high, and
George Helms worlds record of "a out of
IS on the ring is hardly likely to be
equaled. Schuester's 70 on the honorary tar
get Columbia has been passed by William
Vorbach of Williamsburg, but the Califor-
nian will doubtless have lien on second
prize.
Louis Bendel won silver festival cup
and gold and silver medals to-day ON the
point target. Faktor scored 45 on the
standard, Schuester A and George Helm
Al. On the man target Schuester scored
SO and F. o. Young 49, All the boys have
secured medals or cups on the point tar
get.
Tomorrow will see the closing of the
shooting on all targets, and within the
eleven hours the Californian men are de-
termined that it will not be through any
neglect on their part if they do not do
some big scoring. However, even if they
were to rest with their laurels tonight,
their record at this Sehuetzenfest is one
that any Schuetzen verein or rifle club
might well be proud to possess.

TWO HOMES DESTROYED.
The Wife of Joaquin Mora
ElopeS With a Music
Teacher.
They Are Supposed to Be on Board
Steamer Bound for
Germany.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July IA morn
ing paper says: Mrs. Dolores Mora, daugh-
ter-in-law of Antonio Maxine Mora,
whose claim for 100000 against Spain
for the confscation of his Cuban sugar
plantation, is well-known international
question, has left her husband and family
under circumstances that suggest an elope-
ment.
The man in the case is supposed to be
Professor Adolph Peterson, music teacher
in St. Johns College at Fordham and
organ1st of the Roman Catholic Church of
Our Lady of Mercy, in Webster avenue.
Mrs. Mora is the wife of Joaquin Mora a
carriage manufacturer of No. 685 Broad
way.
Until about year ago the family lived
at No. 2268 Marion avenue, Fordham.
While at this address Professor Peterson
was engaged as music teacher for Mrs.
Mora's eldest child, Flora, a remarkably
handsome girl now 16 years of age. It is
said that the professor soon became very
attentive to his pupils mother, a we'll
preserved though rather stout woman of

removed his family and worldly belongings
to One Hundred and Sixty-fourth street
| near Trinity avenue in order to separate
| his wife and her adorer. That he did not
succeed is evident from the fact that Mr.
| Mora caught them on one of Fordham' s
| streets, when wordy war ensued.
| Matters remained in statu quo, however,
| until last Wednesday, when Mrs. Mora,
who is very nervous and excitable
woman, had quarrel with her husband,
| and left her home, after taking her jewelry
and some money.
She went direct to Fordham, where she
met Peterson. He had just collected $50
| from various sources and the couple took
dinner at hotel near the trolley termi-
| nus. The last seen of them was when they
! boarded train for the Grand Central sta
| ton. 1t is supposed that they left this
| city for Germany on one of the steamers
which sailed on Saturday.
When Mr.. Mora became convinced of his
wife's desertion he moved to Is Macon
street, Brooklyn where he has relatives.
Mrs. Peterson and her two children are
penniless and on Saturday were compelled
to vacate their house in Fordham. moving
to $50 Columbus avenue. She is Peterson s
second wife. The first wife (nee Miss
Dutton) obtained divorce from Peterson
some twenty years ago and has threatened
| to prosecute her ex-husband for failure to
pay the alimony awarded to her by order
of the court.

SWAMPED IN LAKE GENEVA
Six Persons Drowned by the

Passengers Insist on Venturing
From Shore Despite the APP
preaching Storm.

LAKE GENEVA, ILL, July six
persons were drowned in Lake Geneva this
afternoon by the swamping of the steam
launch Dispatch in the tornado which
swept over this section about O'Clock.
The drowned are: Dr. and Mrs. Hogan and
child, Father Hogan, a Catholic priest from
Harvard, ILL.,, Mrs. Franc and John Pres

The engineer saw the storm coming and
wished to remain in port at Elgin, ILL.,, but
the passengers insisted on crossing over to
Keyes Park. When half way across the
storm struck the boat and ii must have
gone down like a shot.
Another steamer coming along picked
up five hats and the body of Mrs. Hogan,
who had been, kept afoat by her large
sleeves. She had been beaten by the storm,
however until life was extinct.
The Dispatch was one of the Worlds

Bay told their children that it would be
we'll to look sharp, as the long-awaited
visit of the stork to Gray Gables was close
at hand. There were several callers at
Gray Gables yesterday afternoon, and DR..
Bryant did not leave until midnight.
He went up to the house early this morn
ing, and did not appear again until he an
nounced the good news from the front
door. All the neighbors of the Clevelands,
both rich and poor, were in state Of sup
pressed excitement, and many of them
strolled by Gray Gables in the hope of
hearing something. A few saw Mr..
Cleveland, and asserted that he looked
anxious but hopeful.
Everybody knew why he looked anx ious,
and everybody also knew why he looked
hopeful. There are two little girls already,
and from the first both Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland have wished for son. There
was general feeling that the stork was
going to do the proper thing, and would
bring little one that would perpetuate
the name of the great man.
But the doctor found that the stork had

Mrs. Cleveland have three daughters, each
separated from the other by exactly
twenty months.
The little stranger who has been so for
tunate from q worldly point of view in the
selection of her parents pushed open the
door of life and stood waiting on the
threshold on the most beautiful day at
Buzzards Bay thus far this season. The
day has been cloudless, and a cool, fresh
breeze has blown gently off the sparkling
bay and in through the open windows of
Gray Gables.
When this new conner arrived the little
sister was sound asleep and the Oldest
child was out with her nurse.
When Mr.. Cleveland first heard the
news he must have been somewhat
disappointed, but he is fond of
little girls, so he had no difficulty
in putting look of genuine welcome on
his face as he bent over his third daughter
to seek those feeting resemblances which
only parents eyes are ever able to dis
cover; and when he saw the newspaper
men in the evening he was beaming, but
would not talk about it.
