LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. IA sem
sation was sprung at the Courthouse this
afternoon in the matter of Clifton e..
Mayne's alleged connection with briberies
in San Diego in connection with the
Southern California Mountain Water Com
pany, in which an injunction suit has
been recently filed in the Federal courts.
1t was alleged in the complaint that GER
tain rights had been obtained by bribery

MADERA'S GRAND JURY,
Prosecution of the Men Who
Lynched Victor Adam
Urged.
The District Attorney Asked to Con.
tinue Diligent Search for
Testimony.

MADEIRA, CAL, Dec. I4.-The Grand
Jury of MADEIRA County. which has been in
session since December 2, made its final
report and was discharged to-day. 1t re-
turned three indictments out of eight
cases under consideration. The principal
investigation was on the Victor Adam
lynching, which oc CURED in this county
last July. While there was not sufficient
evidence before the jury to justify indict-
ments, it made this recommendation:
1--WE earnestly recommend to the Dis
trlct Attorney that constant and diligent
investigation be continued to be made by
HIM for the purpose of ascertaining the
parties participating in the mob, if pos
sible, SO that in the end, if testimony
sufficient to justify convictions may be
obtained, these lawless men may be dealt
with according to law and their deserts"
The purchase of the County Hospital
site came in for share of investigation.
but nothing was found to base charges
upon.i The report closes with recon-
mendation that the Supervisors purchase
site for courthouse and Jail and submit
10 the voters at the next general election
propositions for the issuance of bonds for
this purpose.

AN OREGON LINE.
Mr.. Huntington Is Reaching
Out for a Northern
Railway.
The Probable Cause for the Recent
Cutting of Rates From
Portland.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 14.-Railroad
men profess their belief that the time is
near at hand when the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific systems will have clash
over the control of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company property. Per-
sons who have been casting about for a
reason for the prolonged rate war see a
deeper purpose in the fight of Mr.. Hunt
ington's road. 1t is conceded that the at
traction does not lie in doing an increased
passenger and freight business, and be-
sides, it is proving costly fight, for the
Southern Pacific is losing money every
day.
Consequently 1t is believed that every
move of the Southern Pacific is taken with
one end in view-the ultimate absorption
of the Oregon corporation, which must
soon be reorganized and extended and its
affairs adjusted. or it must again become
part of a ,reater system. Both the Union
Pacific and the Southern Pacific systems
are watching the Oregon corporation.
Both want control, and it may resolve
itself into fight between the two corpora
tions
Huntington is virtually the hacker of
Hammond in The Astoria Goble road, and
also the purchaser of the Oregon Central
and Eastern. With the completion of the
link between Goble and Astoria and the
control of the Oregon Railway and Naviga-
ton lines from the sea over the interior,
Oregon would find herself as completely
in the monopolstic grip as it is possible
for State to be. Nothing but disaster to
the Southern Pacific system or the build
ing OF new road somewhere through the
State could break the combination and
make some kind of competition.
The Union Pacific is quietly biding its
time, and when the Oregon Railway and
courts there may be some surprises for
Mr. Huntington.

A Jekyl-dnd- Hyde Indieidual Whose
Uife Is Seeki ng a DirOrce.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 14.-Emma A.
Rowe to-day began suit for divorce from
William Rowe on the ground of desertiop.
The Rowes were married at Amador City
on Christmas day, 1886. Shortly after
they removed 70 Los Gatos and Rowe en-
gagged in various pursuits. He was good
singer and took part in the choir work in a
church at Los Gatos. Rowe manifested a
great interest in church work, and for a
young ladies of the church.
1t seems that when not engaged in
church work he put in his time in less
exaltlng avocation, and finally he was ar
rested and charged with stealing a calf
from the ranch of j. J. Murphy. The
evidence was conclusive that he had
driven the animal to the woods and
slaughtered it, but he denied his guilt and
charged some unknown enemy with at
tempting to injure him.
After remaining in jail a short time,
Rowe secured bonds in the sum of $500,
and on December l oflast year he stole a
horse and buggy from Philip Thisby OF
Los Gatos ana went to San Luis O5ispo.
On the way he traded the rig three times,
and finally got back to Los Gatos with
Constable Reynolds in pursuit Hearing
that he was wanted he took the horse and
buggy he then had to College Park, tied
the horse TO fence, boarded a train and
SINCE then has not been heard from.
As soon as she obtains a decree OF
divorce, Mrs. Rowe will petition the court
for change of name for herself and heI
elght-year-old son.

Foreion Grunge Crop.

WASHINGTON, d. C. Dec. n.-Consul
Seymour at Palermo, Sicily, reports to the
State Department that on account of
long drought fruit is much retarded.
Lemons command very high prices. Lem
ons have also been injured by an insect in
Palermo district, developed by drought.
Consul Huntington at Castellamare dl
Stabia, Italy, reports that the orange and
lemon expectation will begin month
eariler than usual, owing to damage to the
fruit in. Florida, from which State only
about 200 900 boxes will be marketed, com
pared with 100000 to 100000 as the
estimated crop.
Sorrento exported to the United States
last season (estimated) approximately
900, 600 boxes of oranges and 10000 boxes
of lemons. For the coming season the
amount will probably be 145, 900 boxes Of
oranges and 10000 boxes of lemons. Rodl
oranges, the best OF the Italy crop, were
damaged somewhat, and will not show
more than two-thirds the usual crop, but
the quality of the fruit is superior to that
of last year. Prices will not be higher,
says Consul Huntington, than last season,
varying from 81 06 to 81 43 per box, the
price being naturally governed by the
weather during the winter.

LASKA GOLD STRIKES,
Encouraging News Brought Back
From the Yukon River
Country.
Miners Are Making Rich Finds and
Are Said to Be in No Danger
of Starvation.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Dec. A.
The steamer Al-Ki from Alaska brings
news from the northern mining districts
that is likely to encourage big influx to
that region next spring. Passengers from
Cooks Inlet and the Yukon country say
that small miners are making FREQUENT
rich finds, and fully 1000 men will winter
in inner Cooks Inlet in order to get an
early start at prospecting in the spring.
Six weeks ago the report was sent out
from the inlet that hundreds of miners
were destitute there and unable to get out
An offer of relief was sent to them, but
word came back that not one wanted to
come out, and that mining would be car
ried on there all winter.
The Al-Ki brought down $75, 900 worth
of bullion from the Treadwell mine.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Dec.
14-Fire broke out in the chemical labora-
tory of the university this evening about 5
o'clock, and but for the prompt response
of several students to the alarm the result
might have been very serious. The watch
man discovered the blaze and Immediately
turned in an alarm. The fire had made
considerable headway before water could
be turned on to any advantage. The loss
will amount to about $3.50, chiefly to ma
terials and apparatus.
The freshman glee was an unqualified
success last night. The affair took place
in the Encina gymnasium, which had
been decorated and draped for the occa-
sion About a hundred students were
present. and except for little disturbance
caused by their traditional enemies, the
sophomores, the freshmen were allowed to
enjoy themselves uninterrupted by out
siders.
The election of Charles M. Fickert to the
captaincy of the Varsity eleven meets
with unanimous approval. Captain Coch-
ran eulogized the big guard as the most
deserving player on the team, and that
seems to be the general sentiment.
President Sheldon of the Associated
Students last evening received a COM
munication from Professor Richardson of
the faculty committee on doubtful cases,
announcing the determination to give
the students full charge of all cases of
cheating hereafter, and allow them to
determine the punishment. AS long as
the scheme proves satisfactory the students
are to retain this right.

SANTA ANA, CAL, Dec. IA special
meeting of the life members of the Orange
County Fair Association has been called
for Saturday, January %. A resolution
will then be voted upon for the disposal of
the associations property to a corporation
to be hereafter formed. The association is
heavily in debt, and the directors, who are
personally responsible for all liabilities
above $4,000, do not propose to carry the
load. The idea of Incorporating stock
company is considered the best method of
continuing the enterprise. 1t is proposed
to give each life member one share of
stock, valued at $50, which he has already
paid for. The fairs of this county have
always been very popular with the people
throughout the State, and it is not at all
proba bic that they will be discontinued.
