man who combined with the oFlina-
r. circus performance a display oi
fireworks. At one town he adver-
tised the Battle OF Trafalgar, with
burning ships, blazing oceans and other
magnificent Offsets. He drew such a
vivid picture of that great naval
encounter that the people from the
entire countryside were attracted to see
H. When the time arrived the show
man brought his guiding hand to bear
on the set piece, applied the match in
the usual manner and retired to await
results. Several minutes pissed, bit
no battle ensued. The Snowman then
stepped forward and addressed the
crowd.

and proceeded to investigate.
Again the same result followed, and
again.

With gunpowder. Once more he APP

Direct Telegraphy.

There was a great comnotion on the
San Francisco Produce Exchange dur
ing the past week when it was found
that its member, could consunlmate a
deal on the Chicago Board of Trade
and receive an answer in very few
minutes. Several deals We're sent,
executed and confirmed in three
minutes time. This is Il remarkable
achievement when il il remembered
that only short time ago from one
hour TO a whole day was required 10
receive response 10 kilograms of the
most urgent nature to and from Pacific
coast points. All this has been accom-
plished only by the construction, al
almost infinite pains and ex9eli, Of
continuous copper wires from Chicago
to San Francisco to connect with those
already in operation by the Postal be-
tween Chicago and New York. The
route taken 10y this new system was
carefully chosen with respect to climatic
conditions, and it is believed nothing
short Of an unprecedented storm can
interrupt these wires for any length of
time.

The city CO ancil yesterday finally au-

the refunding bonds voted in March may
yet be sold to the financial firm mem
toned for the price once offered and ac-
cepted by the city.
There is no lodging the fact that some
one has grievously blundered in the pro-
eeediugs which voted the bonds and SUBJ
sequently disposed OF them, AMI even the
powers about the city hall no longer pre-
tend that it was fate and not the circum-
stances which has made such fearful
mess Of the whole business. The city ad-
ministration is trying to crawl out OF a
small hole in the premises, and how far
this will be successful depends entirely
upon the success OF the city attorneys

this appropriation back into the city
treasury. The city attorney will be abb
sent not moro than twelve days and will
wife the success of his mission the mo-
ment anything definite is accomplished.
He expects to persuade Street, Wykes IL
Co. that the March law which has made
the city just SO. 600 poorer than it ought
to be-. is an unconstitutional act. and
that the sale of the refudning bonds should
be concluded as If no impediment existed
against such a contamination.
Mr. Dunn was also instructed to inquire
of Judge Dillon of New York city how
much he would charge for an opinion OH
the school bonds just ordered issued. If
this iopinion is gwen it will be attached
to the school bonds sold.
The council yesterday morning in ad-
journcd session requested the mayor to

Senor Toribio Espinosa called on Clerk

ance Of license authorizing him to

fond hopes OF the two expectant hearts
fond mans had been a little previous
and filed with the clerk written notice
forbidding the issuance OF a license to
Petra. who. she averred, was not vet II
years old. The clerk brought forth the
little notice, which dashed the hopes of
the groom expectant. who thercupon
withdrew and secured the services of an
interpreter that he might the more effec-
tually plead his case and impress upon
the clerk the fact that his senorita was
IL years old.
However. the clerk thought that the
mother was more likely to be an author
ity as to the age Of her child than even
a lover could be, so Toriblo was compelled
to return to his waiting senorita at Santa
Anita and try some other scheme to out

CUT OFF IN YOUTH
Alva p. Moore Dies Away From His
Home


Coroner Campbell yesterday held an in
quest over the remains OF Alva P. Moore
the young man foundi lying near the
Southern Pacific railroad tracks near the
Santa Fe depot on Monday night. The
deceased was identified by Charles A.
Barnham, a son of the Santa Rosa con-
gresham, as the son of the ex-county re-
corder OF Sonoma county. From the diary
which young Moore had upon his person
when found, it was seen that he had left
upon the tramp which cut off his life, on
April l.. He had evidently followed the
Coast division. only at River station to
be accidently run.over and killed.
j. f. Hartel. the conductor of the Santa
Barbara local, testified to finding the re-
mains and gave it as his opinion that
Moore had not been killed by his train.
The boy evidently fell from the brake
rods of some car while surreptitiously en-
tering the city. His father. who is in the
news business at Santa Rosa. was yester-
day heard from. Young Moore never
spoke from the time that he was found
until he expired at o'clock yesterday
morning. His tramp had evidently been
more CT a lark than anything else.
The remains will be shipped north for
jDterment.
