80 o'clock the Grand Court adjourned

80 o'clock the Grand Court adjourned
sine die.
In the evening grand ball was given by
the reception committee of San Jose, which
was largely attended by the visiting dele
gates and the leaders of San Jose society.
The hall was beautifully decorated, the
music excellent and the costumes of the
fair sex beautiful. Everything which the
committee could do or provide for the en-
ioyment of the guests was DONE and, de-
spite the exceeding warmth of the weather,
everybody had thoroughly good time.
During the evening Judge w. A. Ryan
of Los Angeles introduced the Junior past
chief ranger, c. P. Rendon and, in few
happy remarks, presented him, on behalf
of the delegates of the seventh Grand
Court, with an elegant gold watch and
chain and diamond locket. Mr.. Rendon,
for moment, was unable to do anything
but stammer his thanks for the token of
high esteem in which he is held by his as
sociates.
Much credit is due to the courts in San
Jose for the zeal they have displayed in
their arrangements for the entertainment
of such large number of visitors, and
Garden City" for the bounteous hospi-
tally which they have extended to their
guests.
At the st. James Hotel this evening the
fourteen supreme representatives held
their first meeting and finance commit
tee and transportation committee was ap-
pointed The session Just closed has been
a profitable one in many respects. The
order has adopted many new laws and
modified old ones.
All conflicting and misleading sections
have been eliminated, and under the new
administration prosperous year is an
assured fact The order is progressive in
its character and the silurian has no place
in its ranks. Whatever is new and good is
secured, while old customs and practices,
especially those which are un-American,
are speedily uprooted and cast out.
Tomorrow the delegates will take a trip
to Mount Hamilton and be received by the
stargazers at the Lick Observatory, which
will end the weeks festivities.

the claim of Edward A. Barron, the mu-

nolds held that the executrix had a right

FORESTERS At SAN JOSE,
Cheap limitations in the SUBJ
ordinate Courts Are to
Be Stopped.
A Presentation to the Junior Past
Grand Ranger-Trip to Mount
Hamilton.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 10.-The fourth
days session of the Grand Court, A. o. F.
OF a., was called to order at $50 o'clock
this morning by G. P. Rendon, grand
chief ranger.
There was large number of absentees
at rollcall, result of the banquet the
night before. The principal business OF
the day was action on the reports of the
committee on laws and supervision and
the committee on appeals and grievances.
There has been much complaint made by
subordinate courts against the practice fol-
lowed by certain courts in initiating mem
bers at lower rate than the fees as pro-
vided for by the constitution. This has
been stopped by an amendment to the
laws, which expressly forbids any court
under penalty from admitting any mem
bers at less than the regular fee.
An attempt to create law making it
compulsory for officers of subordinate
courts to memorize the ritualistic work
was defeated. A great many amend
ments and alterations to the order were pre-
scented and were all referred to the supreme
representatives, to be presented at the ses-
sion in Cleveland, Ohio, in September. AT
the afternoon session great deal of time
was consumed by the discussion of various
appeals which had been reported on by the
committee on appeals and grievances.
After these had been disposed of the newly
elected officers were installed by the
supreme chief ranger, Lewis Thorne Of
Los Angeles, assisted by Deputy Supreme
Chief Ranger John J. Cordy of San Fran
cisco. At the conclusion OF the installa-
ton ceremony the retiring grand chief
ranger, G. P. Rendon, was presented with
apast grand chief rangers jewel, and at

At Work When the Disaster
Occurred and No Warm
ing of Danger.
FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF OTHERS.
Had the Accident Happened In the
Daytime the Slaughter Would
Have Been Fearful.

DENVER, Colo, May 10.-A special to
the News from Trinidad, Colo, says:
A terrific gas explosion occurred early
this morning at o'clock in the mines OF
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company al
Sopris, which resulted in the instant death
of four persons and the injury of two
others.
The dead are:
Sylvester Cox, who leaves widow and
one child.
John Lubaun, unmarried.
Albert Laemmenringer, who leaves a
widow and three children.
Bias Rococomich, who leaves widow
and three children.
The injured are: J. R. Reynolds, seri-
ously burned; Albert Lloyd, slightly
burned and bruised.
The position of all the bodies when found
showed that the men were at work when
the explosion occurred. They were lying
across the track near the car which they
had been using and evidently met their
fate wholly unwarned of any danger.
They all were badly burned and black
ened from the explosion.
1t is thought that the fire originated in
the accumulation of coal which ignited from
a miners lamp, as none of the mines in
this region has ever been troubled with
gas and the ventilation of the Sopris mine
is good.
Had the explosion occurred during the
daytime, when the men were all at work,
the result would have been frightful, as
ordinarily 100 to 800 men are employed in
the mines.

ASTORIA SALMON SALES,
Market Light and a Forward
Movement Correspond
ingly Slack.
Grades of Fish Is Looked
For,

ASTORIA, Or, May 1O.-The Astorian's
weekly salmon report, issued to-day, says
Reports from all sources indicate that sales
up to date are light and forward move
ments correspondingly slack. Our New
York correspondents continue to quote
Red Alaska at 81 .071z, with anything from
II cents to 20 cents less for pinks and
shoddy goods generally.
Columbia River standard brands are
quoted as follows:
straight chinooks, 81 S5 to 81 BIZ for
tails, and 81 so to 81 521l for fats.
"The Alaska Packers Association con-
tinues to urge its brokers to sales that will
make the stock faster, and as a result we
look for general lowering in all Alaska
grades in the near future. The association
has decided to pack three grades of fish
under association labels, and indications
are that this departure will be made gen.
eral in the next few seasons till the old
firm labels are gradually abandoned.
"In Columbia River spring fish little
or nothing is yet doing, and beyond
few block sales in big centers at
prices quoted above matters are generally
inactive. It looks as if this quietness
would continue for some time till retailers
are completely out of current stocks, and
are forced to come back to old terms to re-
plenish for the late May and June trade.
1.-THE abnormally large April pack has
been succeeded by very quiet May catch.
A storm at the mouth of the river during
Monday night and Tuesday can be con-
sidered as a loss of 5000 cases of salmon,
and the weather continues to remain un-
settled. Packers are beginning to put up
oval cans and, as usual, the greatest care is
being exercised in the selection of the
choicest cuts for this particular style. We
hear of offers for ovals at 81 So and 81 s71z,
according to quality, and there is no doubt
that the demand for this shape of pack is
on the increase.
1.-THE English market is in a strong con.
dition. Gamers here are shipping slowly
not more than twenty-five carloads, con-
tanning about 800 cases, have been sent
forward. Owing to the easy financial con.
dition in which packers find their busi-
ness at this end of the line, they are in a
position to wait until jobbers assume a
steadier attitude before making much stir
in the direction of sales.''

SEVERAL FAIR Barns BURNED.
The Exhibition Pavilion Sared by Prompt
Work of The Ere Departntent.

York of the Fire Department.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, May 10.-A barn
owned by Charles Lincoln was burned to
the ground ON last Monday afternoon at
half-past o'clock and to-day at the same
hour large black clouds of smoke could be
seen issuing from about the same spot,
and this time the buildings of the Fair
Pavilion feedyard, which adjoins this
barn, were ablaze. An alarm was sounded,
but the buildings being frame were dry as
finder and were soon mass of flames.
The Fire Department was on hand i'm
mediately and had two streams OF water
playing on the flames and soon had the
fire under control and by good work saved
the barn and the Fair Pavilion, which was
within thirty feet of the burning buildings.
The buildings were used as feed stable
and contained hay, grain, ETC., and were
rented by T. l.. Robinson and owned by
the Fair Building Association. All the
horses were taken out. The loss is about
$1,000. Neither Robinson nor the Fair Build
ing Association carried any insurance on
the burned property. There is no clew to
the origin Of either fire.
