who were seeking relatives among the
victims. The latter were mostly peas

identified. Many of the heads were

So immense was the concourse on the
plain, that hundreds Of them were not
aware for some time that a disaster
had occurred for there was noise caus-
ed by the celebrations, by the bands,
and all other entertainments being in
full swing. Yet the work Of gathering
up the dead was in progress in another
part Of the plain.
1t was not until nearly 10 o'clock
tonight that the first official statement
of the disaster was made public, some
people claiming this was done in order
to avoid putting q sudden stop to the
festivities on the plain, which would

people in this city are slow to believe
the disaster is as great as reported.
a bulletin says that 313 bodies have
been recovered and that 470 persons
have been injured. But very shortly
afterward, at IL o'clock exactly an Off

of dead total up LBS persons, includ
ing those who died from injuries after
being removed from the plain.
The car has given orders that the
sum of 1000 roubles be given to each
bereaved family and that the victims
be buried at his expense.

town is beleaguered by Papago Indians,
and the Mexican authorities at HermosilIo
have been applied to for military assist

1t is stated that the Papagoes have been

Judge Lorigan Names December II a
the Date for the Murderer's
Execution.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 25.-Harvey
Allender, who killed Miss Walhurga Fell
ner and Venanz Crosetti on Sunday after
noon, August 9. was this morning SEN
fenced to be hanged at San Quentin prison
on Friday, December IL, for the murder of
the former. AIlender took his sentence
coolly. The courtroom was crowded with
spectators. When sentence was pro-
nounced there was some applause, but
this was quickly quiered by the court.
On the calling of the case Attorney
Morehouse made motion for a new trial,
on the grounds that the court had erred
and misdirected the jury in matters of
law and that the burden of proof of insan-
ity was shifted from the prosecution tc the
defendant, who was required to establish
insanity by preponderance of evidence
an incorrect rule of law. Judge Lorigan
denied the motion. Allender was then
told to stand up and receive his sentence.
Allender says he is reconciIed to his
fate, and has requested his attorney not to
appeal the case. He says that when he is
dead he will be with the girl, and that is
all he desires. He will be taken to San
Quentin in day or two. unless an appeal
is taken, which is not likely.

tive of the Century Company in giving
$50, 900 for this beat was precisely that o1
any enterprlsing newspaper in buying ex-
elusive news. 1t is not By any means an
unheard of occurrence that the managing
editor OF newspaper should pay 500 for
ten words of information and then spend
as much more in sending reporters to YER
ify the facts and "get all there is of it."
OF course. there is nothing in either the
900 check or the 500 in cash to indI-
cate the market value of literature, and
yet certain club of literary men in this
town has framed and hung up the check
which the Grants received for the life OF
General Grant, as if the amount paid was
in some way the full limit of prices for a

their magazine. Arthur Scribner, when
asked about this rumor and further
rumor that bargain at $4,000 had been
made for the next story by the same au-
thor, declined either to affirm or deny.
The great success of Sentimental Tom
my probably originated an exaggerated
rumor.
Itis the common rule of publishers-and
1t Is rule that is particularly rasDing to
the writer with any instinct of an artist in
him-to pay by the yard, at least by the
thousand words. 1t was with this rule in
view that the fact of Charles Dickens re-
ceiving $4,000 for 1000 words was mentioned.
Anthony Hope refused, not long ago, an
offer of $3.50 for short story. Here is an
other gauge of market rates, for "a short
story" means from 5000 to 1000 words. 1t
is fair to Mr.. Hope to say that he was
priced at 5000 thousand words.

ELECTRIo sHooK VICTIMS.
A French Authority Prescribes a Form
ula Of Treatment.

A French Auth ority Prescribes a Form
MIA OF treatment.
Oneof the contingencies of modern civil
lzatlon which is almost entirely new, and
is wholly dependent upon the develop
ment of modern industry is the treatment
OF accidents from electric shocks, says the
Medical Record.
Inc matter has been discussed quite
thoroughly by physicians in this country,
but 1t has been worked out perhaps more
Systematically by DIR. D'Arsonvai of Paris,
who has recently made report to the
Academic de Medicine of Paris upon the
method Of treating persons injured by
electrical shocks. D'Arsonval states that
electricity causes death sometimes directly
by the dlsruptive and electrolytic effects
or the charge on the tissues. This death
is nnal. 1t sometimes, however, causes
death indirectly by arrest of respiration
and syncope, caused by stimulation of the
nerve centers. Under these circumstances
person may be revived if proper meas
ures are applied.
The formula for reviving the victim of
electric shock is this: The person so dis
abled should be treated like one drowned !:
in other words, he should be laid upon the
BACK and artificial respiration performed
In the way that is ordinarily prescribed.
ScAnS AAAbASE pIdCLlCdl aQVlc6, however, Is
given to those who are called at once to
the scene of the accident and at the time
when the person is perhaps still in contact
with the wires. OF course, the first thing
to be done is to stop the current or break
the contact.
In doing the latter one should not touch
the victim on the face or hands or any
naked part OF the body. 1t is better to lift
him by the coat-tails or 10 throw a blanket
over him, and pull him by this Nothino
that IS wet should be thrown upon him,
and II his clothes are wet the hands should
not be put IN contact with them. A piece
OF dry wood can be placed under the body
and he can then be lifted. The further
treatment of the case is the familiar one
applied IN empting to restore the
drowned. The arms are worked and the
tongue is kept drawn out; the body may
sometimes be rubbed thoroughly with a
cloth or brush in order to increase the cir
culatlon of the blood. Oxygen and per-
maps stimulant may be mployed.

tite of Epicures.
In spite of the prejudice that little Miss
Muffet's misfortunes may have excited in
the younger members of the community q
dish of ''curds and whey" is not to be de-
spIsed. Eaten as it should be. with the
freshest and ripest of berries and the dam
test of rusks, it has pastoral favor that
will entice the appetite of the eennuied bon
vivant, says contributor to Cooking.
Under the name OF "bonny clabber"
this is q favorite Southern dish. 1t is not
merely ''clabbered" milk, but milk left to
stand just long enough to become jellied
before the whey has separated from the
curd. The pr ocess may be hastened bv
rennet, when it is known as "rennet Gus
tard, or it may be kept just to the point
where the heat of the atmosphere turns it
to firm jelly. The result is practically
the same. At the South "bonny cIabber''
is seldom sweetened, but is served with
plenty of sugar and grated nutmeg strewn
over it.
Rennet custard, on the contrary. ia
usually sweetened and favored with wine.
Put half teaspoonful of rennet in a quart
OF milk fresh from the milking or heated
to 100 degrees. Add about five table,
spoonfuls of sugar and two of Madeira.
STIR the milk thoroughly and let it stand
in warm place for twelve hours or until
it hardens. It must be set in the dish il is
to be served in. Some housekeepers pre-
fer to serve it in individual cups. AS soon
as it is firm jelly it should be set on the
ice.
No dessert is more wholesome. It is an
admirable dish for the children's supper
table, and for this purpose the wine should
be omitted. The snowy little mounds
should be turned out of the small cups in
which they were set and dredged with
sugar. A candied cherry cut in fine bits
and scattered over each one will make
this simple dish acceptable to almost any
child. A rennet custard or any kind of
curds and whey should be served as soon
as possible after it is formed and been
chilled. Straw wberries are especially nice
with 'sbonny claDber," which is served
with sweetened cream.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Sept. 25.-The
Populist-Democrats of the City Among
the Pines were called out tonight en-
masse to listen to E. E. Cothran, lawyer
of San Jose, who spoke on the issues of the
present campaign. Cothran failed to gain
many converts to his side of the question.
The meeting, however, was thoroughly
aroused when at the last moment Edward
Berwick of Monterey, a strong gold man,
accepted the challenge of Cothran to come
to the. platform and debate on the main
issue before the public. Cothran led off
with fifteen minutes talk. His points
Berwick attacked and in q mastery
manner set forth the fallacies of his
opponents argument and doubly strength
ened his own side of the debate by pre-
senting numerous statistics and quoting
from many well-known authorities. After
the first round the speaker took terms of
ten minutes each, consuming in all about
an hour and a half The audience was
decidedly in favor of the argument pre-
sented by Berwick.

Contact With a LiUe Wire.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 25.-Edward
Saltzman to-day began suit in the Superior
Court against the Sunset Telephone and
Telegraph Company and J. w. Findlay
and H. B. Alvord, receivers of the San
Jose Railroad Company, for SOC, 900 dam
ages, alleged to have been sustained on
May Is, 1885, while in the employ OF the
telephone company.
Saltzman was employed as a lineman,
and on May 10 was engaged in stringing
wires along South First street. While ad-
justing the wires on pole at the corner. of
First and Fernando streets ne came into
coutact with a cross wire of the First-street
electric railway, which was attached to
the pole. He received a shock and was
thrown violently to the ground. Both of
his kneecaps were broken, his spine hurt,
and the injuries, he alleges, confined him
to his bed for eleven weeks. The CON-
plant alleges that the accident was due to
negligence on the part of the two COM
panies in allowing a live wire to be fas-
tened to the telephone pole. The sum OF
$1,000 is also asked to cover the expense of
medical attendance, making total of
$51, 900 sued for.

form to address those assembled on equal
suffrage. The eminent suffragist was un-
sparing in her comments upon masculine
inconsistencies, and created much amuse-
ment by her witty sallies. The audience
was largely composed of women, and the
speaker seemed to echo the sentiments of
most OF those present. She declared that the
only issue of this or any other campaign
was being lost sight of by the masculine
politicians, and that the time would soon
come when the rights of her sex would be
an issue too large to be overlooked.

County Treasurer jackson Repays a
Portion of HIS Shortage.
REDDING, CAL, Sept. 25.-The short
age of County Treasurer Jackson is now
known to be $4,000. The defaultins
Treasurer has within the past day re-
placed $4,000 of that amount. This money
he derived from the sale of mining stocks
in the San Francisco market. 1t is sup
posed Jackson's brother will make the
balance of the shortage good or that Jack
son himself will devise some way of raising
the money, else he would not have re-
placed the amount he did to-day.
1t is believed the bondsmen will not
prosecute Jackson. That will be left for
the Grand Jury and Supervisors to do.
The Grand Jury will undoubtedly indict
Jackson, and may instruct the District
Attorney to prosecute him, even though
he should settle the deficiency in full.
At their next meeting the Supervisors
will appoint Jackson's successor to the
Office of Treasurer. Already there is onite

MISS SHAW SPEAKS AT UKIAR.
Why Voters of IN Parties Should Favor
EQEGL Suffrage.


Equal Suffrage.
UKIAH, CAL, Sept. 25.-Rev. Anna
Shaw spoke here last evening to large
audience on the woman suffrage amend
ment to be voted on at the next election.
The house was crowded, the men being in
the majority. The stage was tastily deco
rated and, with large number of hand
some women on it, presented a pretty
sight. Mrs. Jennie Macmillan presided
and introduced Miss Shaw.
During her remarks the speaker showed
wherein any man. a member of any politi-
cal party, would be inconsistent should he
vote against the proposed amendment.
The Republican party, she said, had in
corporated a plank fayoring equal suf-
frage in its State and National platforms.
Further, as firm believer in protection to
everything American. it was the duty, she
said, of every Republican not only to pro-
tect the products of America but also the
women OF America.
AS reasons why every consistent Demo-
crat and Populist should favor the amend
ment, she quoted their respective notices;
that of the Democratic party, ''It is the
right of every individual to have voice
in the government" and that of the Popu-
uIist party, Equal rights to all, special priv
iIeges to none" Every Nationalist should
exert his influence in favor of the amend
ment. she claimed, because it was the
woman suffrage question that caused the
breach in the Prohibition party which
subsequently resulted in the organization
of the NatiOnalisTS.
