ESCALON, CAL, Aug. 9.-Of the many
new towns that have sprung up in the
State in the past few years none have
started out with such brilliant prospect
OF success as the little town of Escalon.

promise OF being one of the most enter
prising villages to be found anywhere. 1t

San Joaquin Valley Railroad, twenty
miles from Stockton and in the heart Of
the best producing sections in the
State. Thousands and thousands OF acres

ball game here to-day between the Stock
ton nine and picked team from San
Francisco, playing under the name of the
Will q Fincks, was one of the best of the
season, but it ended in row, to the dis
credit of the visiting team.
Lochhead and Pace, and Fitzpatrick and
Peters were the batteries for Stockton and
Will d Fincks respectively. Locnhead
did great work in the box, striking out
seven men, and if he had been given his
dues by the umpire, he would have had
ten strike-outs to his credit. Up to the

wanting to xiii him, was an intimate
friend of Venanz Crossetti. He denied
the story told by Allender. and said that
Crossettl never had carried weapon OF
any kind. As to Miss Feilner and the
murderer ever having been engaged, he
stated that he was positive that there was
no truth in the claim, as be knew that
Miss Feilner had always disliked Alien
der.
Harry Barnes, an extraman for the En-
pire Engine Company. was seated IN front
OF the engine-house when the shooting
began. He was sitting with his back
toward the street when he heard the flrst
shot.
"As turned around" said Barnes.
'.the woman was falling to the walk and
the man with the pistol was shooting at
the fellow who was with the woman. The
wounded man started to run across the
street, and l made q break Tor the Iele-

the murderer try to commit suicide, as l
was inside at the time"
Police Officer James Prindiville knew
both Crosetti, the man murdered, and Al
lender, the murderer, well. He stated
THIS evening that on several occasions
Crossetti had shown him notes from Al
lender containing drawings OF skulls,
crossbones and coffins, and threatening
his life unless he ceased associating with
Wally Feilner, the girl murdered this att
ernoon. Crossetti, the officer claims, con-
sidered the threats mere biuff on the
part of Allender. He said If Allender did
attack him he would find him unarmed,
as he would not carry pistol. Crossettl
told the officer he was engaged to Wally
teilner and expected TO marry her during
the winter.
Allender. the officer stated, repeatedly
asked him how he could get permit to
carry pistol. He claimed that Crossetti
was trying to take his girl away from him
and had threatened him with bodily harm.
Patrick Mulvanev, boarder at the New
York Exchange Hotel in this city. came
from San Francisco to Alviso with Allen
der on last Friday. He states that Allen
der carried a large pistol at that time and
in explanation said: "a greaser is trying
to steal my girl and has threatened TO do
me up when he meets me, and am taking
the gun for protection.
Helen Feilner. the younger sister OF the
deceased and her only relative in this
country, they having come here together
from Germany about four years ago, was
Frustrated with grief. She is also serv-
ant-girl and is highly recommended by
the families by whom she has been en-
ployed in San Jose.
About eight months ago District Attor-
ney Harrington had an experiences with
Allender in connection with his jealousy
OF Crossetti. The former came to the DIS
trict Attorney and told him that Crossetti
had made threats against him and asked
what he should do. He was taken to
Crossetti's blacksmith shop, and after
hearing both stories the District Attorney
became convinced that Allender was in
the wrong, and that if any dangerous
threats had been made he was the guilty
party. Allender was then advised to
leave the girl and Crossettl alone and be
would have no more trouble.

Fraudulent Railsoay Bonds YGlidated
By dct of Congress.

TUCSON, AR1z., Aug. 9.-It is a matter
of considerable comment throughout the
Territory that while President Cleveland
refused to approve the Congressional bill
authorizing the leasing of the school lands
of Arizona for the benefit of the public
schools, he during the closing days of the
session approved bill which is an attempt
to validate over $1,o00,0o0 of void and
fraudulent Arizona railroad bonds, and
accrued interest, and which were, previous
to the passage of the law, declared invalid
by the Supreme Court. Not more than
one mile out of five of the roads pretended
to have been constructed, and for which
the bonds were issued, exists. A demand
will be made upon Congress and the Pres-
dent to relieve Arizona from this iniquitous
Congressional law. The payment of the
bonds will be resisted by every legal means.

This is the way thousands OF young men

vital, recuperative force is daily growing
less, and will in time give out completely.

Of this military display does not appear

ite presence was apprehension, ana hot
the existence Of violence. Three com
panies Of the state guard took up their
position on the state house grounde TINS
morning and the Kentucky Legislators
filed through pickets to their meeting
places in tho capital. The presence OF
this armed force was the eubJect OF nu-
merous resolutions and acrimonious de-
bate in both houses before and after the
Joint session.
The senate by a strictly party vote
adopted resolutions reciting the action
of Governor Bradley in calling out, the
militia which was declared to be "with-
out warrant OF law, necessity or justiti-
cation" and appointed a committee
headed by Senator Goebel to "inquire
into such contempt and breach OF
privilege" and to report to the senate for
final action. This was adopted as u sub
stitute for resolutions offered by Senator
Bronston, violently denouncing Governor
Bradley, and declaring tho purpose OF
tho senate to suepend all legislation
while the military guard remained in
possession OF the capitol. The house got
into tangle over number OF reso
iutions offered by both sides, all OF which
were finally withdrawn.

an cstimablc lady and an old resident

who passed away at noon.
Her death was not unexpected, as Aho
had been sufferer for more than year
past. In December, 1894, she under
went a painful and serious surgical OPP
Grafton for the removal Of tumOrs in her
neck. After the operation she improved
in health and in a few months was out
driving around and her friends hopes
were good that she would entirely re-
cover her health, but the event has
proved they were doomed to disappoint-
mcnt.
She took ii turn for the worst about
February q, owing to a chill, and com
plications that supcrvcned bafllcd the
best medical skill that money could Sc
cure or the tender attentions and heart
cit sympathy of husband and friends
could give, and for the last week
it was only too apparent that her
fate was sealed.
Mr.. Mort Strong and his two young
daughters have the deep and heartfelt
sympathy Of everybody in this great af
Fiction, of which tangible evidence is
that tho Oun Fellows bill that WAS fix

abandoned, after great preparations
eoicly on account Of the worthy lady't
demise.
The funeral will take place from hel
