a Sharp Earthquake Shock Felt on sh
Island.

Island.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, April 21.-
The schooner Arcadia arrived in port from
San Miguel Island Sunday morning. Cap
tain Ellis reports no further changes of
moment in Cuylers Harbor, but states that
a sharp earthquake shock was felt on the
island on the 18th of April. AS this shock
was not felt anywhere on the mainland,
this circumstance confirms the theory that
the channel islands are of geological
formation separate and apart from the
mainland.

aching and sore and as sleeping poorly.
Often she is troubled with backache, or

she may be irregular, or suffer extreme
pain from functional arrangements.
DR.. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, of Buffalo, N. Y, in his expert
ence, met many cases of this kind, for
which he used a prescription which
cured permanently in ninety eight per
cent Of all cases. Having proven so
successful, DR.. Pierce put his Favorite
Prescription on the market, and it is
to-day sold more largely than any other
medicine for the ills of woman.
For all functiona, arrangements, dis

AFFRAY At MENLO PARK,
James Fraser Is Stabbed in the
Back by Dominic
Bargetto.
The Non-Payment Of a Ten-Dollar
Loan Leads to the Deadly
Assault.

MEMO PARK, CAL, April 21.-A stab
bing affray, which took place here last
evening, resulted in the death of James
Fraser, young man in the employ OF
Joseph A. Donohoe Jr.
Early in the evening Fraser went to the
residence of ]. Leroy Nickel, which ad Joins
that of Mr.. Donohoe, to spend the evening
with friend. While there Fraser met
Dominic Bargetto and hot words passed
between the men in dispute over money
matters. 1t seems that Frazer had bor-
rowed $40 from Bargetto, and the latter
insisted on it's return that evening. The
matter was finally settled by Fraser
promising to pay the money on the 1st OF
May.
Young Fraser started to go home toward
midnight and on passing through the gate
to the residence was popnced upon by Bar
getto, who stabbed him in the back. The
weapon used was an ordinary pocketknife,
the blade of which entered just below the
shoulderblade, making wound two and a
half inches long and an inch and hall
deep. The blade struck a rib in its course,
and this is the only thing that saved the
life of Fraser. While the young man is
quite weak from the loss of blood his con-
dition is not considered dangerous.
Bargetto was arrested early this morning
by Constable Ryan and taken to the
County Jail at Redwood City. He claims
he did the stabbing in self-defense. Both
men bear good rep 1tations.

Denver Hard,eare Company Assigns

DENVER, Colo, April 21.-The Denver
Hardware Manufacturing Company has
made an assignment to Alec c. Foster for
the benefit of creditors. Frank N. Briggs,
first vice president and manager of the
company, stated to-day that the assign
ment was made so that neither the COM
pany nor those who held its paper would
suffer.
The inventory taken in February showed
the assets to be $4,000, but the schedule
to be filed tomorrow will show less than
100000. Mr.. Briggs said that the liabili-
ties were about $4,000 in accounts and
trust deed for $50, ,0O0 dated the 1st of last
November. The larger share of the stock
is held by Eastern stockholders.

Continuous Rails a Necessity.

A serious trouble, causing many rail-
road accidents, is that our rail is not
continuous, being broken in a number
OF places by switches and frogs Per-
haps only higher wisdom than ours
can tell Us how to avoid accidents
caused by open switches, as long as
these dangerous devices are not elm
mated from the track This should be
done, even if the cost of otherwise set
ting Off the cars be more expensive.
Let us make our rails absolutely CON
tlnuous, says the Engineering Maya
zine, and transfer cars bodily to ada
cent tracks by the use of hosting ma
chinery. Such devices are used in Eng
land-of course under the control of n
block system-and are found very safe
and satisfactory. Particularly should
tracks on which very fast trains are
run be made continuous, as accidents
to such trains are much more serious
than those that happen to slow trains

practical Effect, and it would mean an
abandonment and disclaimer of the
splendid results of your Democratic
administration. You and have pos
sibly d tfered from Mr.. Cleveland at

was our right, our privilege, our duty
to do if We were conscientious IN doing
so. hut he is the greatest statesman and
party leader of his time. His Democ-
racy, his honesty, his integrity and his
continued attention to business, which
constitutes genius, have never been eX-
celled. and, in my opinion, Democratic
su cess in 1892 was largely due, AS
Democratic success in 1896 will also be
largely due, To the character of our
Democratic President and to the high
plane upon which he has sought 10
place the party and his administra-
ton. Do not understand me as sug-
gesling the candidacy of President
Cleveland for reelection. No such
question is now before us. You have
heard the Republican war-crS the
statement that while both the tariff
and silver question will be discussed,
neither will ne the issue in the sense of
obscuring other questions that the
great, paramount issue upon which the
battles of both this year and next Will
he fought will be the record of the
Democratic party under President
Cleveiand; that the question will be
whether it is to be Endorsed and its
policy continued, or whether it shall be
repudlated and its policy ended"

The recent work of the Democratic

Though somewhat lengthy, the letter
hrI>tles with sound ID, mocratic senti-

for the honor conferred upon him by
hIs party, aud gives positive assurance
that the nomination came 10 him with
out solicitation. He approve, the plat

The Baltimore SIM, says the .udrV-
ld"d Repubhcdn of Saturday last,
which can find nothing to commend
IN the Democratic party of the State,
fairly gushes over the Republican tick
ct in is leading editorial of Friday. 1t
Is not only fulsome in Its praise Of the
ticket, hut also of the platform and of
Republican party methods and ma
chlnery. 1t comes out squarely in ad-
vocacy of the Republican party, con-
Guiding its editorial by saying that the
interests of the State will not suffer by
the election of the Republican ticket.
And this is the paper which has been
Boosting of its Democracy and which
has set itself up as the leader of the
Democratic thought of the State. 1t
has now shown its cloven foot and
proved in its own columns that its
professions of Democracy were insin-
cere, and Were made solely for the
purpose of misleading its readers, and
thereby enabling it the better to aid
the Republican party in this falls
campaign. We are delighted that it
has thrown off the mask and proclaim
ed itself an open enemy; for now it
Will be powerless to do the party harm.
The SIN will find out, as many man
has heretofore to his cost, that it NAV
rally quite a respectable body of Dem
oerats in Maryland to Its banner in a
primary contest, but cannot lead any
considerable number of them into the
Republican camp. The fight in Mary
land this fall is whether the State shall
remain Democratic or he turned over to
the Republican patty, There is no
good reason why any Democrat should
hesitate to vote for his party this year.
The primaries in every precinct of the
State were conducted without claim
or even suspicion of unfairness
quite contrast to the Republican
primaries in some parts of the State),
and the convention voiced the senti-
ments and was entitled to speak for
the majority of the Democrats of the
State. The ticket presented is admit
eddy first-class in every particular, aud
the platform is thoroughly sound and
Democratic. What more can any Dem
0crat ask or desire? We do not believe
that the Democrats of Maryland pro-
pose to turn this good old common
wealth over to the Republican party.
but that when the election day rolls
around all will be found in line, ex-
cept few who have no party princi-
pies and who only wear the livery of
Democracy as occasion and self-inter-
est may dictate.

Of the primaries certainly bear out this

Hon. DAVID LUBIN, of California,
is travelling over the country agitating
the question of government bounty
on all agricultural products and staples
exported. The Associated Press lately
published an interview with Secretary
Morton strongly opposing the scheme
advocated hy Mr.. Lubin. But the lat
ter seems fully bent on pushing his
idea and asserts that it would be
great benefit to farmers all over the
United States. To most people the pay
ment of a bounty export will seem an
entirely new idea, but such is not the
case, as Mr.. Lubin shows that as early
as 1913 a law was passed by Congress
and approved by the President to pay
bounty on fish exports. As it was
only tried that one time the example
was Of little value except as an answer
to those who raised the cry of uncon-
stitutionality. Farmers are an impor-
tant portion Of the body polite, and If
Mr.. Lubin can get them united earn
estly in favor of his plan it may become
an important factor in national poll
tics.
