SANTA MONICA SENSATION.

Treasurer Thornton Suspended Pending
an Investigation for I,isubordinatton.
Los. ANGELES, April News was re.
ceived to-day that Captain A. Thornton,
treasurer of the Soldiers Home at Santa
Monica, had been suspended on charges
preferred by the Governor.
No allegation against Captain Thorn
toms integrity was made, but it is said
that the charges comprise insubordination
and not furnishing the required variety of
rations as commissary.
1t is also stated that the charges grew
out of personal differences between the
Treasurer and the Governor, their relations
not having been amiable for some time,
Pending the investigation of the affair
Captain Upham of San Francisco has been
appointed acting treasurer. Captain
Thornton has demanded trial and has
requested the National Board of Soldiers
Homes Trustees to convene here and look
into the case. He says that he will fight
the charges to the end.

THE sACRAMENro SHOOTER.
Eugene Palmer Held for Trial for flirting
on FIo,eer- Pickers.

on FlOteer- Pickers.
SACRAMENTO, Gail, April AT the
preliminary examination of Eugene
Palmer, charged with assault to murder,
for firing load of birdshot into the body
of man named. Mitchell, who, with his
wife, was picking flowers on Palmer s
land, was held in the justices Court at
Oak Park to-day. He was held to answer
with bonds fixed at $1,000.
During the progress of the trial evidence
was produced tending to show that Palmer
had grudge against the Central Electric
Street Railroad Company, the terminus
of whose road is in the vicinity of
his land. 1t is stated that this grudge
arose from the cancellation Of a pass
which had been used by Palmer in his
trips over their lines, and, as during the
week thousands of people are carried to
this terminus to enjoy a days outing in
the adjoining fields, the primary cause of
the shooting was to injure the interests of
the company by preventing people through
fear from coming to the vicinity.
Residents at Oak Park are deeply in
censed at the action of Palmer in shooting
at visitors, and it appears that this.shoot-
ing at Mr.. Mitchell and his wife has by no
means been the first occurrence of this ma
ture. :.
About week ago Palmer shot at the
little son of Secretary of State L. H: Brown,
who, in company with a gentleman, en-
tered this same field for. the purpose of
procuring wild flowers.
1t is:claimed that the Grand Jury, which
is now in session, intends to have Palmer's
actions in other cases investigated and it
will probably result in Palmer's conviction.

SHIPMENTS ro THE EAST.

Increase in the Tolunte of Fruits, Hines,
Etc, Sent Out of the YatIey.
SAN. JOSE, CAL., April 2. 2.-Shipments of
fruits, wines, ETC., to the East were heavy
during the past week, and although show
ing slight decrease when compared with
the corresponding week of last year, the
shipments for the month show heavy in
crease over those OF the same month many
| previous year. For the quarter ending
March 81 the shipments were double those
for the first three months of 1898, and three
times those of the same period in 1894.
The total shipments last week were
/ ], $40 1854 pounds, against 1905, ,625 pounds
during the last week of March last year, a
decrease of 81, ,7so pounds.
Thus far in 1895 the overland shipments
amount to 26, ,321 ,215 pounds, against
Ii, ,673, 800 pounds for the first quarter
of 1894 and S,736,505 pounds in 1898.
Allowing that the shipments of the
past three months will be 20 per cent
of those of the coming year.. it is safe
to estimate the shipments for the year. to
be in excess of 130,000,0O0 pounds.
On April 1, 1894, the dried fruit remain
ing in this valley amounted to less than
q, ,OOO, 600 pounds, 80 per cent OF which was
prunes. The estimates of dried fruits now
iu warehouses and the hands of pack
ers is not less than 100000 pounds,
and therefore the shipment of dried fruits
for the next three months may be less
than that of the same time last year.
+ The eastbound shipments over the broad
gauge last week amounted to 1870, 845
pounds, of which 699, ,240 pounds were dried
fruits, the shipment of prunes amounting
to 81, 800 pounds.
The: Eastern shipments on the narrow
gauge last week consisted of 163, 702 pounds
Of canned and dried fruits, the latter
amounting to 109, ,462 pounds.

Wears something like q lonely and dilapidated
look.
And from the ceiling where the bat now woos

The spider spins his silver thread down to the
old hand press.
For the editor has gone away,

And the windows bar the sunlight,
And the roof let's in the rain.
And whittier has he gone ? the last subscriber,
old and gray,
Who thinks of him with eyes made dim by
tears that force their way,
Pauses beside the weedy door, beneath the
wind-blown thatch,
And lets his hand fall tremblingly upon the
rusty latch.
But the editor has gone away,
And will not come again;
And the windows bar the sunlight,
And the roof let's in the rain.
Gone And the last Subscriptions paid; books
closed and laid aside,
The printed sheet, with news complete, mailed
on it's mission wide.
And never any sound shall break the stiffness
of the place,
Nor any light, nor any night bring back van
ished face.
For the editor has gone away,
And will not come again;
And the windows bar the sunlight,
And the roof lets in the rain.
