CAPE FEAR AND YADKIN VALLEY
Interest ir North Carolina in the pro-
posed sale of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley Railroad is intense and the mat
ter has become an issue in that State.
Public meetings have been held at Will
mington, Greensboro and other places
to protest against the dismemberment
of the property, which is proposed by
the New York bondholders. The Pro-
duce Exchange and the Chamber of
Commerce of Wilmington recently held
Joint meeting and adopted strong
resolutions on the subject. These reso-
lutions refer to the fact that the State
of North Carolina has given literally of
her treasure to build the line, with the
object in view of connecting the noun
tains with the seaboard, and develop
ing the country contiguous to it. The
city of Wilmington was induced to SUBJ
scribe $3.50, ,000 toward construction of
the road upon the promise that the
system would be complete and direct
communication with the mountains and
through to the northwestern markets
be maintained. The resolutions further
urge bondholders to accept the plan Of
reorganization proposed by the Balti-
more committee.

POSTPONED CONVENTION,
County Supervisors for tn g
Atlanta Fair to Meet
on July "a.
The State Board of Trade Discusses
the Proposed Exhibit of
California.

At a meeting of the mem ers of the State
Board OF Trade yesterday it was decided to
request Governor Budd to postpone the
Supervisors convention for California
exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition from
July 10 10 Wednesday, July "a. This was
because all of the Supervisors in the State
are to meet on the 10Th as county boards of
equalization.
Secretary Filcher informed the members
of the Board of Trade that the railroads
had agreed to bring the county Supervisors
to this City to the convention at half rates
and the steamship companies at three
quarter rates. The hotels in San Fran
cisco will reduce their prices 10 to 20 per
cent. All Of the counties have promised
to send big delegations to the convention
and many of the delegates will be au
thorized to act. Out of 300 Supervisors in
the State he expects that at least two
thirds will attend.
DR.. T. G. MacLean of Monterey called
attention to the 18th inst being very I'M
favorable date for holding the convention.
W. II. Mills also favored postponing
the convention. He said that delegate
from each county would not do, as it
would take majorities of the Boards of
Supervisors to act The project of send
ing an exhibit to the Atlanta Exposition
was of too much Importance to be
Jumped at" There were several matters
to be looked into before the convention
met, and the principal one was the cost of
making a creditable exhibit The county
Supervisors would want full particulars
upon this subject before they would agree
to stand their share. He said that the
Southern Pacific Company had agreed to
carry the exhibit as far as New Orleans
free of charge, and he had no doubt but
that the connecting roads would also carry
the exhibit TO its destination free of
charge. While all of the counties have at
their dispocal SOL, 500 for advertising pur-
poses, they must know how much the
total cost would be.
A committee consisting of Lelong. Mas
lin and Filcher was appointed to ascer-
tam the cost of sending All exhibit.
President Chapman, Mills, Irish, Per-
klns and Filcher were selected to repre-
sent the Board of Trade at the convention.
j. b. Foy and A. Greninger of Santa
Clara County made brief addresses in
dorsing display of California products at
Atlanta.
General Chapman was not able to be
present, but he sent letter in which he
said:

DR., M'DONALD'S CHECK.
1t Returns to a Society Money
He Deposited for 1t in the
Peoples Bank.
The Home for Feeble-Minded at
Glen Ellen Announces That 1t
Is Crowded.

The little trouble over the account of DR..
K. Il. Mcdonald, who, until the failure OF
the Pacific and Peoples Home Saving
banks, was the treasurer of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, was
satisfactorily settled at the regular
monthly meeting of the board of directors
of the society yesterday afternoon.
DR.. Mcdonald had deposited funds of the
society amounting to $3854 in the People s
Bank. Like all other deposits in that
bank, it was inaccessible. A personal
check for the amount was received yester-
day through the Bank of California from
DR.. Mcdonald, who is now in New York.
The society has accordingly transferred
its claim on the Peoples Bank to him, and
he will stand the risk of getting his money
from that source. The present treasurer,
George A. Newhall, was instructed to de-
post $500 with the Security Bank.
Secretary McComb was instructed to
prosecute Manager Gustav Walter of the
Orpheum for employing a minor, viz: one
of the Martinetti brothers, acrobats, who
is said to be only Is years of age.
A refusal of the Home for the Feeble
minded to receive an unfortunate boy from
this City on the ground that it has no more
room has come TO the notice of the society.
X. Helms, widower living on the San
Bruno road, reports that he applied to the
home asking it to receive a nine-year-old
son, with the result stated. He has five
sons in all-Theodore, 10 years of age
Peter, IS; John, the feeble-minded. 81
William, 6, and Henry, 4, but owing to the
fact that all his time is taken up looking
after the three children most needing his
care, and also to the refusal of his eldest
son to contribute 10 their support, Mr.
Helms says that his predIcament is such
that he is unable to go out and work at his
trade as carpenter. The society has taken
the two youngest children off his hands
and will have them cared for.
Two hayward girls, Josie Stanley and
Lillian Whelan, were arrested by officers
Holbrook and McMurray late last night at
Ingleside and will be sent to institutions
for reform. The case of the 15.year-old
girl Agnes Gallagher, at Sunnyside, the
details of which could only be made public
in Judge Bahrs' court, is still fresh in the
mind of the society, and the officers are
exercising considerable vigilance in watch
ing wayside resorts in the hope of prevent
ing the occurrence of any similar crime.
The society was informed that Mrs. Jane
Coon of Howard street, charged with NAL
treating 7-year-old boy living with her,
had offered herself to the police for arrest

morning Attorney Barnett was given
quite surprise, to use his own words.
Charley Hung and crowd of highbinders
were on hand. anticipating an easy vic
tory; but C. B. Holbrook, acting as Miss
Williams attorney, soon changed their
feelings TO deep chagrin.

for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children

sequently the allegations of Charley Hung,
charging unlawful detention of the girl,
could have no standing in the court.
Judge Trout saw it in the same light, and
was ready to dismiss the writ, when Mr..
Barnett urged a continuance until Thurs
day. The court granted his request, but
said it would not make any difference
with the judicial disposition of the case.
The only way now left open to the high
binders is TO ask for revocation of Secre-
tary McCombs letters of guardianship,
and then the case can be heard on its
merits.

THE FOURTH'S AFTERMATH
Trouble Is Brewing Over the
Bill for Floats for the
Parade.
Contractor jain Has Made Charges
Which He VIII Have to
Sub Stantiate.

The executive committee for the Fourth
of July will hold what promises to be a
very lively session this afternoon. The
business to come regularly before it is the
approving of bills and the winding up of
the affairs of the celebration. One con-
tractor, however, fearful of a cut in his
bill, makes charges about commissions,
and the committee will take official notice
OF his action.
Since the celebration the members of the
executive committee have expressed them
selves as dissatisfied with the floats fur
nished by Mr.. Jahn and have stated that
they did not come up to the specifications,
and were not worth the amount ($770)
asked for them. Mr.. jain, in an inter
view yesterday, charged that an attempt
would be made to reduce his claim not be-
cause the floats were not worth the money,
but because some member of the commit
tee had hoped to secure a commission if
the contract had been awarded to another
firm. At the meeting this afternoon Mr..
aim will be called upon to explain his
charges, and to name the member referred
to.
AS a matter of fact the executive COM
mittee had nothing to do with letting the
contract for floats. that being left entirely
to the parade committee. There was some
friction between MIR. jain and Commander
Florence of the Continental army and the
latter refused TO march in the procession
behind one of the floats.
Mr.. Jahn's difficulties are not however,
confined to the executive committee. He
has assigned his claim against the commit
tee to prevent an attachment for $500 be-
ing filed against it, and man named War
rem, who was thrown to the sidewalk by
the breaking of one of the faulty floats,
threatens to bring suit is damages.
The auditing committee spent three
hours last evening in passing on claims.
Not all the bills are in yet and another
session of the committee will be necessary.

CAUGHT BY THE BLAZE.
Nicholas Demartini Almost Burned to
Death.


Death.
Nicholas Demartini, employed in P. T.
Vretto's fruitstore at 104 Eddy street, came
near losing his life yesterday morning He
was sleeping in the back room from which
there was no escape save by the front door
when the place was set on fire by the ac-
cidental crossing of electric and telephone
wires. This was at 4:13 A. NJ, and through
all the hurry and hustle of the arriving of
the Fire Department Demartini slept on.
The people in the four-story building over
the fruitstore came rushing out in their
night clothes and the fremen had all they
could attend to in rescuing them for about
fifteen minutes.
When the fire was almost out Assistant
Chief Dougherty thought he heard some
groans proceeding from the rear OF the
fruitstand. Extra streams of water were
turned on and as soon as practicable an in
vestigation was made. Demartini was
found lying on the floor unconscious. He
was picked up and rushed to the Receiving
Hospital, where after some trouble he was
revived.
The building at 104 Eddy is owned by J.
K. Prior and is damaged to the extent of
$500. The damage to the contents of the
building is estimated at $780,

arrested yesterday afternoon by Policemen
Reynolds. Donovan and Van Kueren, on
the charge of battery. Young as he is, the
BOY drives q wagon for j. M. Nowlan,
butcher, Haight and Fillmore streets.
yesterday afternoon Miss Ella Arnold,
o21 HAYES street, and her friend, Miss Nal
VIVA Remillard, of Oakland, were crossing

out OF the way the horse driven by Whelan
was upon them. knocked them down and
trampled upon them.
Reynolds and Donovan saw the accident
and hurried to the scene. They procured
a hack and sent the young ladies to Miss

Arnold was suffering greatly from the
shock and Miss Remillard had an ugly cut
on her forehead and was suffering from in
ternal injuries. Medical assistance was at
once summoned.

said he hollered to the ladies and thought
they would get out of the way. He is q

THE COLLECTOR rs PARAMOUNT
Chinese Arriving Here Have No Appeal
From His Decision,


Collector of the Port John H. Wise is
paramount when it comes to the landing
or refusal to land Chinese. No matter
what the evidence may be there is no ap-
peal from his decision, and Monaghan,
be he merchant, laborer or native son,
might as well save himself time and
money by returning quietly whence he
came when once the Collector has issued
his fat.
Lem Moon Sing arrived here on March 6
last, and attempted to land as a merchant
Collector Wise was not satisfied with the
evidence, and refused him a landing. The
attorney for the Chinese swore out a writ
of habeas corpus. and the matter was
argued before Judge Morrow. The latter
ruled that under the act of Congress of
August Is, 1894, the Collector had full
sway, and that the courts could not inter-
fere. The case was carried to the United
States Supreme Court, and yesterday that
body handed down a writ of mandate sus-
tanning Judge Morrow, and thus estab-
fishing Collector Wise as the sole arbiter
in the Chinese cases coming to San Fran
cisco.

Mr.. Mills said that the easiest way for

George W. Cagwin Injured by Defec-
tive Skyrocket.
a new kind of skyrocket, called boom,
was introduced into the local market this
year, greatly to the discontinue of at least
two gentlemen, who were severely injured
in consequence. George w. Cagwin, res
ident of Carson, New, and T. E. Mitchell,
of this city, were severely injured, and are
both under treatment at DR.. Frank Corn
wallis private hospital on Geary street.
A premature explosion of the bomb
caused piece of tin shell to penetrate Mr..
Cagwin's right eye, and DR.. Cornwall found
it necessary to remove the eye. Mr.
Mitchell was also burned and severely
Jared by a premature explosion of the
same kind of bomb. His face was burned
and it was thought, for time, that he
would entirely lose his sight, but the doc
tor reports that both eyes will be saved.
