SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 25.-H. OAR
win Mcllrath, who, accompanied by his
wife. is making bicycle tour of the world
in the interests of the Chicago Inter Ocean,
has arrived in this city, after completing a
trip of $500 miles across the continent
visiting all places of interest en- route.
The trip was accomplished IN fifty-eight
days, the longest days journey being 1872
miles, from Raynor TO Denver, portion
OF the route heavy upgrade.
Mrs. McIlrath is by no means one of the
strong minded masculine type of femin-
Unity one would naturally expect capable
of mastering up sufficient courage to
brave the dangers and hardships to be
encountered in a trip of this y kind.
On the contrary, she is petite, refined,
beautiful, possessing the characteristics
that blend to form the ideal, without one
trace of the new woman. When riding her
attire consists of a sweater, cap and bloom
ers, which she declares to be the perfect
costume for the silent steed.
Mr.. McIlrath, in conjunction with his
literary matters, has been empowered to
perfect arrangements for the rapid trans
mission of important news matter, oc-
curing in interior Asiatic points, to sea-
coast points, from which it will reach the
reading world in days instead of months.
They leave this city next Saturday en-
route to San Francisco.

Arrival at Sacramento OF Journalist

SANTA MONICA, CAL, July 25.-The
pavilion was crowded Wednesday evening
as it has not been since the spiritualist en-
campment commenced, the services prov
ing interesting to believers and non-be-
levers alike. The service commenced
with the usual singing OF spiritualistic
hymns, followed by an invocation by Rev.
George w. Carpenter, who repeated the
spiritualistic Lords prayer, somewhat
different from that OF the orthodox be-
Levers.
Professor Bowman made an exceedingly
interesting address on GLOW and Why /
Became Spiritualist." The speaker said
he was for fifteen years Methodist par
son, but wanted something broader and
became a Universalist minister, and in
1881, in Atlanta, Ga, he sought medium,
like Saul when he caught the woman of
Endor, and became spiritualist. He had
not changed faiths, only climbed higher,
and if there were q million steps higher in
the ladder of truth he wanted to climb
them toward the grand fountainhead of
all truth. eff one is a true searcher after
truth he said, "he must read everything
there is worth reading and not be satisfied
with secondhand diluted information. If
he does, he soon, like myself, will regret
the dark gospel of damnation of hell"
The speaker claimed that modern spirit
ualism in its true sense had worked won
ders, but was still in its infancy 1t was
giving to the world justice instead of char
ity, honestly earned bread instead of the
hypocrite's stone. The agnostic and hon
est infidel CROPPED about IN darkness and
discomfort until he found the waters of
spirituallsm at which gushing fount he
drank, and the immortality OF men had
new meaning and life and new glory. 1t
rejected wealth FOR mere wealth's sake. It
made all men brothers. It peopIed the
universe with new souls, or rather those
born again unto life everlasting, taking in
all creeds, all races, all conditions into one
happy family, before whose eyes no fear
was visible, only the truth of the blessings
of Immortality.
Ben NJ. Barny and DR.. Schlessinger gave
tests successfully to large number.
This morning the mediums had con-
ference. In the afternoon Rev. George W.
Carpenter OF Chicago spoke, DR.. Schles-
singer giving tests, and after sunset Pro-
lessor Clark gave an exceedingly interest
ing service of his lyrics and poems.

HIS ARREST REQUESTED.
A Warrant Procured by the
Brother of the More Re-
Gently Made Bride.
MoURNED ALSO BY CREDITORS.
Both Women Determined to Secure
the Punishment OF the Gay
Deceiver.

SAN JOSE, CAL. July 25.-Just at pres
ent A. M. Lorenzo de Ferrer is much
sought after by two young women who
claim to be his wives, and who have
pooled issues for the purpose of putting
the gay young man in prison for bigamy.
About year ago De Ferrer came to San
Jose as representative of the Continental
Building and Loan Association, and, while
he did some business, he still found time
to go into society, where he became
general favorite. Being possessed OF good
looks and a pleasing address it was not
long before he became acquainted with
Miss Katie Patten of Santa Cruz. Shortly
after they decided to become man and wife
and agreed to wed by contract. They had
Attorney Felkner draw up a contract, and
later the regular marriage ceremony OF the
Christian Church was performed
Shortly after their marriage De Ferrer
induced his wife to go to her parents in
Santa Cruz, while he went to San Fran
cisco and resumed his position as drum
mer for a wholesale house.
. De Ferrer failed to send for his wife as
promised, and, failing to hear from him,
her brother, Christopher Patten, concluded
all was not right, and began an investiga-
ton into the past life of the truant hus-
band. After a short search the brother
discovered that De Ferrer, short time be-
fore going to San Jose, had married Miss
Conception Fernandez of Temescal, Ala
media County, and a short time after de-
serted her. Wife No. did not mourn her
loss very much, and would have made no
trouble for him had he not insisted on
marrying again.
When the first wife, however, found that
her late husband had taken another wife
she at once joined forces with wife No. 2
with the view of Furnishing her gay de-
ceiver. There are no children by either
marriage.
Yesterday afternoon Christopher Patten,
a brother of the second wife, appeared be-
fore Justice Dwyer and swore to COM
plant charging De Ferrer with bigamy.
A warrant was issued, and officers along
the coast notified to arrest him.
De Ferrer left numerous creditors here
to mourn his departure.

COURTHOUSE AT YREKA.

forks of the Salmon River to search for the
reputed two-ounce diggings somewhere on
the banks of Scott River. The exact spot
to this day has not been located.
These were not the first men who have
overlooked a fortune while vainly search
ing for the purse of Fortunatus, but they
were the first to find evidences of the shin
ing yellow ore in what was soon to become
one of the richest and most famous dig,
gings in the world. Perhaps the ghosts OF
those forty prospectors are still roaming
the hills and gulches Of this wild region in
search of those two-ounce diggings, but
those who came after them, only a year
later, found the wealth of Indus beneath
the long grass of Yreka Flats, and it was
theirs to make fortunes for themselves and
found a city in the pine-clad mountains of
Siskiyou Tor their children.
1t has been a famous little city in its
day-though never very poDulous-and
there is a rugged picturesqueness in its
situation and in its history that should
bespeak for it a greater fame to-day than
it has enjoyed since the Federal troops
rendezvouzed here during the Modoc war
at the lava beds in 1873.
Thompson's Dry Diggings was its first
name. This was soon changed to Shasta
Butte City, when the gathering of more
than ZOO miners at one spot in less than
SIX weeks after the first pan of dust was
washed bespoke for the mushroom settle
ment more pretentious name. The In
dams called it I-e-ka, meaning the white,
and this name, first as Wyreka and then
as Yreka, finally became the official desig-
nation of what is now the county seat of
Siskiyop.
High up among the foothills of White
Shasta, at an elevation of more than 24O0
feet is broad, basin-like plateau sheltered
on all sides by towering peaks and noun
tain ranges. Yreka is built in the north
eastern corner of this basin, and to the
west and south of the town are the famous
gold fats. The townsite is about mile

dts of classic days. Nor is there, upon the
whole, much more of moral precept to be
found In searching the records OF the gold
dlggers than III coming the dates of court
lntrlgues and royal assassinations.
Take, for instance, the case of Alvy Boles
and the potatoes, during the win
ter OF 81 SO, when provisions were so
scarce that salt sold readily for 81 an
ounce. Alvy Boles was one of the first to
arrive In Yreka when the mines were dis
covered. He brought an anvil and black
smiths tools with him and set up shop
under tree. Early in 80 he cultivated
tract OF land on the creek, raising potatoes
and other vegetables. That same fall
Boles had good crop from twenty-five
had cost him good deal of trouble and
money. Then the great floods came and
with them stringency OF all kinds of
fresh vegetables. Boles had fortune in
his grasp had he chosen to take it. Early
In the winter spectators offered him fifty
cents pound for his potatoes, well know
ing that it would soon be easy for them to
double their money on the goods.
Boles declared he would not speculate
on the sufferings of his neighbors. He de-
clded to control the distribution of the
crop himself. He set the price at rs cents
pound and permitted no one to purchase
more than hundred weight. When the
supply grew. smaller he cut the limit down
to fifteen pounds, and in this way made it
possible for all to enjoy the luxurNof
spuds. Even at this rate Boles could have
reaped substantial harvest had he not
given credit to ali who requested it. Some
were too poor to pay and others pretended
to be.
Boles took every man at his word, con-
sldering only their needs. And were these
"gruff but honest miners grateful to the
man who saved them from the scuryy that
long winter? Hardly that, as the sequel
shows. In the end Boles lost in bad credits
more ban two-thirds of all the money that

DR.. Knight, who is SO years of age, and

to delay the plans of outside capital.

ANGELS CAMP, CAL, July 25.-A fierce
grass and brush fire started this afternoon
on Tryon Hill, on the southern outskirts
of town, and it required the efforts of hun
dreds of men TO prevent it reaching the
residences in the annex.
The fire is now travelling at great speed
toward the town of Vallecito and the
Stanislaus River. When it reaches the
river 1t is likely to make its way up to the
Utica's immense fumes which are MANY
miles in length. A large amount of prop
erty is in imminent danger as the flames
are now spreading through the woody
country in nearly all directions. The only
effective resistance that can be made is in
efforts to save the small settlements lying
IN the path of the flames. The fire was

Well, it was verified last night
very wildly about 1890.
A man passed along the railroad
between K. E Young's and w. II.
Chaille's residences, and from his
language led p 9ople to believe his
wife or sweetheart must have
proven unworthy of his conf

We could not learn what he said,

and then kill myself! If 1 don't

done, it must have been unpardon-
