GENUINE LOVE FEAST
Instead OF tho Stormy Session That

THE OHIO RIVER ASSOCIATION
Didn't Treat Itsoif to tho Expected

All Roads OF All Charges aud
Agreed to Take Fresh Start-Tho

pal Source of tho Bitter FoeIlug,

CHICAGO, March o6.-The Ohio River
Assofia.ion held an important meotiny
to-day and there were strong grounds
for the belief that the session would bo
80 exceedingly animated that at its con-
clusion would be loft OF tho association
but disjointed fragments.
However, nothing Of the kind occur
red. Tho mco!ing was not animated
and instead partook largely OF tho na-y
turo Of love feast All charges OF
every kind, no matter by whom, or
against whom prcicrrcd, were with.
drawn, tho slate was spouged clean, and
i! was agreed that everybody would
take q freih start, maintain rates from
this time on, and faithfully observe all
other requirements Of tho associa ton
agreement.
It was Understood before the mo citing
convened that several notices OF with
drawal wero pending, and that the asso-
citation was in imminent danger OF COL
lapse. Tho entire trouble arose from
lack Of conlidence-about every 70 ad in
the association accusing others OF bad
faith aud Of practice, entirely incon.
sistent with the usefulness Of the asso-
ciation.
The principal source Of bitter feeling
was tho mileage book question, but
when notes were compared and accounts
checked up it was found ,ha. one road
was about as deep in tho mud as an.
other in the mire. Mileage books OF
nearly overy road said to have been re.
covered from scalpers were produced,
and it waa evident that charges against
one might be proven against others.
This being the case, 1t was decided that
everybody should take fresh start, and
all agreed to adhere to the rules.

The weather was April in her loveliest
mood, and there, was no one in that vast
multitude who did not feel and respond
to her gentle touch.
Even the marine monster herself, beau
tiful in her bigness, seemed imbued with
the infunece of the scene. She did not
pause or hesitate in her brief triumphal
journey down the ways, but like her cele-
brated prototype she seemed to leap with
one exulting. joyous bound" into the en-
brace of the silvery waters, sparkling in
the afternoon sun. For hours before the
appointed time every entrance and APP
proach to the yard was packed With per-
sons eager to witness what is always a
great event. Not square foot of space
ON either side of the river but had its
complement.
The small boy, the working man, the
housewife and the lady of fashion-a all
were there.
They stood on the common ground of
enthusiasm for what has come to be re-
garded as II national affair.
OF course the greatest animation was
on the christening stand filled to its ut
most capacity with guests of the Cramps
and the International Navigation COM
lany, which owns the vessel. Not the
leat picturesque feature of the scene was
the river, dotted with craft of all sorts
and descriptions, who were prompt with
their discordant whistles when the all i'm
portant moment arrived.

A MILLI0NAIRE'S NEMESIS
Claim OF Black Boy to a Share in
an Estate
Additional Scandal Raised In the Barron Will
Contest--A New Claimant Puts
In an Appearance

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1O.-Another
sensational feature is about to develop in
the now famous Barron will case. which
has been in the courts of San Jose for
several months, and in which the con-
testant, George Barron, was recently
given a verdict setting aside the last
testament of his father, the late million
aire Barron. The new sensation will be
the hearing in the suit of Edward Barron,
colored, who claims to be the natural son
of the deceased millionaire. VS.. Eva Bar
ron, the widow and Administrative of the
Barron estate.
The wretched story of Edward Barron s
Nemesis cropped out in the recent trial.
7. J. Sullivan, Barron's agent. testified
how he had taken the negro mother OF
Barron s alleged child to Louisville, KY,
bought her house there and given her q
sum of money, which, it was supposed.
would Danish her forever from Barron s
presence.
She left the Sunny South; she wearied
of the plantation and the society of her
race; she returned to California and be.
sleged the Barron residence; she cam ped
on the trail of the weak and nervous old
man; she assailed him when he left the
house. She detied the special policeman
who was hired to warn her off. and she
became the most irritating ana persistent
nuisance in the closing days of the mil
lonaire' $ life.
When first this dark shadow loomed
across his path Edward Barron made a
supreme effort to purchase her absence.
At that period Chris Buckley was the su-
preme averter Of trouble for consdera-
ton. And it is claimed that said con-
sideration for the removal to the South of
the colored woman was $40. 900. and fur
thermore that this sum ($5000) found its
resting place in Mr.. Buckley's jeans.
However these things may be. Buckley
will be subpnnaed ard ex-Agent Sullivan
and Mr.. Davis, Barron s intimate friend,
will testify as to the amount of money
spent, why it was spent and who pouched
the majority of it.
The plaintiff is a mulatto lad of more
than ordinary intelligence. His mother
her youthful days must have been ex-
ceptionally i'll favored. She has already
drawn largely from the Barron estate,
but like Oliver Twist she wants more. and
is going to make hard fight for the Bar
ron dollars.

THE NEW SILVER PARTY
Labor Elements Will Be Invited Into
the Field
Some Of the Planks In the Party Platform
That viii Be Opposed by
the RothschiIds

NEW YORK, April 10.-A Washington
special says: Leaders of the new silver
party are said to be laying plans for an
attempted conversion of the labor ele-
ments of the east to the free silver
doctrine They are credited with the
opinion that the existing unrest and dis
stisfaction among laboring classes can be
utilized to excellent advantage in further
ing their plans. An outline of their in
tentions furnished today contains the
statement that they will charge that much
of the trouble of the laboring classes is
due to what they term contracted cur
rency, and to the monopoly of the gold
bugs. Socialisitc classes will be arrayed
against the gold standard as being syn
onymous with capital and monopoly.
Wall street and the Rothschilds were set
up as the bugbear of the workingmen. re-
spcnsibe for all their ills, and the free
coinage of silver and enlarged circulation
of the medium will be suggested aS the
only cure for existing troubles. Hun
dreds of books and pamphlets resenting
the silver question are being circulated
throughout the country. Every time an
eastern man makes declaration for free
coinage the promoters of the new party
seize upon it eagerly and give it the via
est circulation. On the other hand, the
assertion of Senator Sherman that free
coinage would result in the most tre-
mendous financial panic this country has
ever known, and would paralyze busine ness
and trade beyond anything ever known
by any nation in the world. is hooted as
merely the raving OF 'soldbug.

SERIOUS CHARGES
Allegations r1ade Against Building and Loan

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 1o.-The

WOOTTON DEAD OR ALIVE
A New Witness That Bears Out the
Theory of Murder
Professor Sanders Queer Behavior When He
Drove Out of the Wootton Ranch.
Was His Companion Living

FRESNO April 1O.-M M. Records a
new and very importa Mt witness, was on
the stand in the Sanders forgery case to-
day. Records is one OF the surprises
promised by the prosecution. lie swears
very positively that one hour afterWootton
and Sanders left the Wootton ranch, the
last time that its owner was seen, he saw
Sanders driving on the road toward
Reedley in his buckbcard alone. THIS is
important tt tstimony. and may lead to
the discovery of what may still be left OF
the body of William Wootton.
Although Sanders is nominally being
tred for forgery it is expected that the
outcome OF this case will prove or dis
prove the theory that Sanders Is the MUIR
derer of Uncle Billy Wootton. There is in
contestaDle evidence that Wooten and
Sanders left the ranch together. and
Sanders admits as much. He claims,
however, that the man who sat beside
him in the blackboard, as they drove past
the wheat fields, and were seen by Charles
Rohloff, was a live man. Now the theory
is that Wootton was dead when he went
on this last ride with Professor Sanders,
and that he was murdered in his own
cabin. Rohioff will testify that when the
buck board containing Sanders and
Wootton, dead or alive, reached the gate
that shuts OF the cattle pen, Sanders lald
1 the lines on the dash board, got out
( opened the gate, came back, took the
| lines off the dashboard and wa ked by
the mules, driving them through the
! gate. Then he laid the lines OH the DASH
board again. went back. closed the gate.
then got into the blackboard and drove off
at a.galop.
This evidence which is OF an eye-wit-
ness who was. within hundred feet OF
the gate at the time seems to disprove
the possibility of Sanders companion in
the buck board being a live man. Now,
according to the testimony of Records, 1T
seems that Sanders must have disposed of
the body long before he was seen. riding
into Reedley by Gober the ditch tnder.
1t is likely that two searching parties will
be organized and the foothills and plains
lying between the exit to the Wootton
ranch and the point where Records met
Sanders will be again thoroughly searched.
for there is standing reward of $4,000 for
the recovery of William Wootton dead or
alive.
Aside from the testimony of Record, the
principal feature in this, the third day s
hearing of the Sanders forgery trial, was
the introduction by the prosecution of
new evidence as to the references made
by Sanders to knausch and Graves, the
mysterious and mythical individuals
whom no one but Sanders has seen, and
who after whole years search still re-
main undiscoverable by either the prose-
cution or the defense.
Testimony bearing directly on the
forgery charge will be taken tomorrow

A VICTIM OF THE TURKS
1t Is Said That Bicyclist Lenz Was
Murdered
Supposed Work Of the Armenians--One of the
Investigators Does Not Believe That
the Man Has Been Killed

NEW YORK. April 10.-Dr. J. Fl.
Workman, the editor of Outing, last
night received cable dispatch that will
help to throw some light on the missing
bicyclst, Frank G. Lenz. The dispatch
said that Lenz had been traced to Kurd
village about eighty miles from Erzer-
oum. He reached there on May 10th,
and the villagers said he was murdered.
Lenz was known to have reached Chigani
on May 9th, but after that no news was
received until last night. According to
the dispatch Lenz arrived at Chlgani
little after sundown on May 9th. He
was the guest of man named
Avak Parsagh, and was in good health
and spirits. In the evening a number
of villagers called to see him and his won
derful machine. He spoke to them and
made them understand that he had come
from Persia and was going to Erzeroum.
He left early the next morning. About
month later the villagers heard that he
had been killed in the vicinity of a viii
lage named Kurdali, which is one of three
villages Lenz would have to pass in cross
ing the mountains to the Delibaba Pass.
1t is the first village he would reach, and
is five miles from the Armenian village
Zedikan. These Armenian villages are
HOW in ruins. The Turkish soldiers mas
sacred the Armenians Just about the time
Lenz was in the vicinity.
Dr. Workman does not believe the report
that Lenz is murdered, He said to a re-
porter: II think Lenz was carried away
by the kurdS into captivity, and they
are waiting for him to be ransomed."
Sachtlehein, the cyclist who has gone to
find Lenz, reached Constantinople March
18th, where he now Is. He said. though
the Turkish authorities had declined to
allow the representative of Outing to
visit Armenia, that the American minis
ter had made demand on the Turkish
government that he should be allow ed to
search for Lenz, who is an American and
missing. DIR. Workman is determined that
no efforts shall be spared to find the miss
ing cyclst, and he believes that it will be
made an international affair and that the
Government here will help in the recovery
of LEM. Lenz is native of Pittsburg.
HI is 27 years old, and started on his trip
around the world on June 2, 1892.

after disposing of general routine bust
ness. called up for consideration ques-
ton of priv lege by the committee on
bills and overtures, the internecine
troubles disturbing the First Presbyterian
church in Los Angeles, and consumed the
entire session in spirited discussion of
the perplexing subject. without arriving
at any definite plan of action.
W. b. Mayes, an elder of the church,
and G. E. Day, lay member. presented
an appeal signed by 252 members of the
church against. its removal to Figueroa
and Twentieth treets, and made strong
plea in favor of their petition being ac-
cepted by the Presbytery, and such action
taken as would tend to end the strife and
disputation which was destroying the
power of the church for good in that city.
j. S. Slauson and J. c. Salisbury. as
representatives of the trustees of the First
Presbyterian church of Los Angeles, ap-
peared Jointly with Mayes and Day and
substantiated the appeal when pre- sented.
In effect the petition and grounds OF
complaint are these:
That the action of moving the First
Presbyterian church westward is contrary
to the spirit of Christ and Christianity,
and that the center of the city with its
evangelical masses is the special work of
the church that the mem bers OF the con-
gregation live principally in the northern
and central part of the city, so living
north of Tenth street, 66 living north of
Eighth street. 445 north OF Fourth street,
while only 140 live west of Hill street and
south of Fo Irth street; that the proposed
sight is in a district already occupied by
the Presbyterian church, there being
three congregations in that part OF the
city; that the money about to be ex-
pended for this undesired church was
contri outed by the donors for the purpose
of carrying on the work in the center of
the city that if the church is built at
Figueroa and Twentieth streets the larger
portion of the congregation will be left
without church or money wherewith to
build one; that the change will seriously
impair the work being carried on at the
prayer meeting Sunday school and SEN
ior and Junior Endeavcr societies, and
for other reasons to be given should the
Presbytery consider this appeal.

pointed out at length after which the

these exmptions operate to arbitrarily
