EN- NSENAOA'S GOLD Thief.
James Garratt Confesses That He
Looted the Riveroll
Vaults.
Exonerates Allan Pratt and Declares
That Only Himself Is
Guilty.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 12.-Informa-
ton received this morning from Ensenada
states that James G.. Garratt, apprehended
in the act of recovering gold bar worth
$12, 600, stolen from the shipping Office OF
Riveroll eighteen months ago, has made
statement exonerating every one but
himself. He and Allen Pratt served six
teen months in Ensenada Jail for the
theft.
CARAT says that he got Pratt drunk on
the night of March 20, 1895, and went to
Riyeroll's office and worked the combi-
nation of the safe. To prove his assertion
he, at his own request, was yesterday
taken to the Office from the jail and easily
opened all the safes in the Office, and even
opened them after the combinations had
been changed. He says he can open any
safe with combination lock.
CARAT says that before the gold bar was
stolen he used to stay with Pratt in the
Office building and when Pratt slept be
would go down stairs to the Office and
open the safes to see If they contained
anything worth stealing. He was on the
lookout for good sized gold bar for years.
The mystery of the theft of $1,000 from
the Office of the Colonization Company at
Ensenada five years ago is now thought to
be cleared, for Garratt was employed by
the company at that time. Pratt is now
at 1217 Polk street. San Francisco, and is
believed to be in no danger of extradition
on account of his innocence.
Garratt snd Sam Hayward, who was
caught with him on the way to unearth
the bar, are in solitary confinement and
liable to be sent to Belem Prison, City oil

SANTA CLARA'S VICTORY.
Judge Lorigan Decides That the
Town Can Contract for an
Electric Plant.
The Injunction Issued at the Request
of Morrison and Sennett Is
Dissolved.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 12.-Judge Lori
gan has dissolved the temporary in
junction granted to S. Morrison and James
Sennett restraining the Town Trustees OF
Santa Clara from awarding the contract for
an electric-light plant.
About two years ago $4,000 worth OF
bonds were issued to construct municipal
water works at Santa Clara, and the peo-
pie of the town were so pleased with the
water system that they decided to operate
their own lighting works. The lighting
plant was to cost 10000, and it was pro-
posed to use $6500 left over from the sale
of the water works bonds in part payment.
On the evening of July %, as the Trustees
were about to award the contract for the
lighting plant, they were served with an
Injunction secured by Messrs. Morrison
and Sennett This put stop to the
awarding of the contract.
The Trustees at once passed an ordinance
disseminating the use of the lights of the
Electric Improvement Company, which
was accused of being behind Sennett and
Morrison. Since then the town has been
in darkness save for an occasional oil lamp
set out by some enterprising citizen.
In an amended complaint, Messrs. Nor
rlson and Sennett attacked the legality of
the water bonds, claiming that the pro-
ceedings of the board in calling an election
for the issuance was void and without
effect, in that the election was not held in
the manner provided by law. They also
claimed that the board had no power un-
der the town charter to construct water
works or an electric light plant.
In his decision Judge Lorigan said: 1t
appears, both upon principle and author
ity, that a municipal corporation inde-
pendent of any direct charter provision or
statuatory authority has both an implied
and inherent right to light lis streets and
public places and TO purchase and operate
plant, therefore it follows that the Trus-
tees of the town of Santa Clara were act
ing within their power, and legally, In
awarding the contract for an electric-light
plant, and the temporary injunction here
tofore issued restraining them from so do
ing is set aside and dissolved"

Inability to Realize Upon Sc.

to Suspend.
Doors of the Institution Are Closed.
but DepositorS Will Be Paid
in Full.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Aug. 12.-The Bank
OF National City closed its doors this
morning, and note was posted on the
door to the effect that on account of diff
iculty in making collections the concern
was forced to suspend. The directors OF
the bank are w. G. KIM ball, Flora M.
Kimball, George w. Hale, G. B. Whittle-
sey, G. H. Sawyer and Peter Morse. Pres
ident Kimball and wife and George w.
Hale of Malone, N. Y, are the heaviest
$ stockholders. The capital stock is $780,
600, all paid, and there is a small surplus.
President Kimball said to-day:
I'VE closed because we found it I'M
possible to realize upon securities. The
bank has enough securities, if the market t
improves, to pay every creditor in full"
From this it is believed the suspension
will probably be permanent, though no
one questions the soIvency of the insti-
tuition. Mr.. KimbalI is reputed to be
worth $250,000. No uneasiness was no.
ticeable here or at National City regarding
the suspension.
The last official statement of the con-
dition of the Bank of National City to the
Bank Commissioners, made on March 80,
was as follows:

SANTA BARBARA, CALL, Aug. 12.-W.
S. Manning, leader and organizer OF new
diet system, was in town to-day and states
that the new bill of fare promises to be
widely adopted in Santa Barbara County,
where the ideal conditions for its realiza-
ton exist. Manning advocates the e1-
elusive use of ripe fruits and nuts and has
for the last ten years subsisted upon these
simple, un cooked foods. He is at present
living on a small ranch in Hope dis
trict near this place, but is forming a
colony which will settle near Los Olivos:
Olives and walnuts, which are produced
IN great abundance in this locality, he re-
CARDS as two essential staples.
Manning argues that when people learn
that Life can be sustained SO easily and so
cheaply all suffering from hunger wiki
cease, at least in this favored land, while
disease will be well nigh obliterated. He
has already made several notable converts
to his doctrine and confidently asserts
that more will follow.

FREE S|LvER'S FALLACY,
]. ]. Valentine Talks of Finance
to the Political Economy
Club.
He Explains Why Intelligent Men
Prefer the Security of Sound.
Money Standard.

special meeting of the Political
Economy Club, organized last April by
Professor Bernard Moses of the State Uni
versity, was held last night at the rooms
of the South Park Settlement, is South
Park, and attracted considerable atten-
ton.
The subject of the evening was "Free
Silver" and was ably handled by J. ].
Valentine of Wells, Fargo & Co., who
forcibly presented the dangers lurking in
the vagaries of the free silverites and the
lack of a clear knowledge of the average
man on this subject. He outlined the
history of legislation in regard to silver
from the time OF Alexander the Great,
through the Roman empire, the reforma-
ton of the Elizabethan period to the
present moment. He made the statement
that history and experience point with a
warning finger to the disastrous effects of
any attempt of nations to depart from a
sound money basis.
''It is often asked" he said, 'iby the ad-
voeate OF free silver, why do bankers gem
orally favor gold? The answer is: First,
1t Is honest and an equivalent; second,
experience has proven it to be the best
standard of value; third, in the aggregate
four-fifths of all they represent belongs to
the masses, and in protecting themselves
tney proteCI the people. In otner WorQS,
the man who pursues rational and conser-
vative methods to avoid or to lessen the
danger of financial confusion and disaster
is the man who seeks to maintain the best
standard, thereby protecting himself as
well as his fellow-man-those upon whose
favor his prosperity depends"
He denied the assertion of the advocates
OF free coinage, that the fall of prices of
commodities has been caused by the de-
monetization of silver, but declared it was
due to improved methods of production.
The free coinage OF silver at the ratio of
i6 to will mean cheap monometallism.
The following speakers discussed the
question pro and con: John NJ. Reynolds,

BANS SAID BY TWO PASTORS.
Many Guests From Bay Cities Go to
the Country Place on Special
Train.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Aug. 12.-There
was pretty double wedding at Oakmead,
the beautiful country home OF Mr.. and
Mrs. George G. Dornin, to-day, when
Hubert Bryant and Miss Alice Dornin and
the Rev. George Eldredge and Miss Julia
Dornin were joined in holy wedlock.
Special cars were run over the San Fran
cisco and North Pacific Railroad, which
passes through the Dornin place, and the
guests from abroad were taken almost to
the doors OF the Dornin mansion.
The house and grounds were beautifed
by the most exquisite flowers and ferns
that this county affords, from hothouse
and field. Just at noon the wedding
march sounded, and the bridal party took
its place under canopy of flowers in
the north parlor. Here the Rev.. J. T..
Shurtleff, rector of the Church of the
Good Shepherd of Cloverdale, pronounced
the words that united Mr.. Bryant and
Miss Alice Dornin. Then the Rev. DR..
Mackenzie, DID,, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church of San Francisco, per-
formed like service for Mr.. Eldredge and
Miss Julia Dornin.
The brides were handsomely gowned IN
Helen Dornin. Miss Dorothy Wilkinson
and Master Winsor.
On the vine-covered porches and under
the spreading oaks a wedding breakfast
was served, after which the newly welded
couples boarded train for the south,
where their honeymoon will be spent.
The Dornin family is best known in
Oakland society, where the father of the
brides is prominent as the manager OF sew
eral insurance companies. Hubert Bryant
is also from Oakland, where he holds q
responsible position with the Springfield
Insurance Company. The Rev. George
Eldredge is the pastor of the Fulton Pres
byterian Church and recent graduate of
San Anselnlo theological Seminary. Sew
eral hundred guests were present, and the
numerous and costly presents received by
the brides were but slight tokens of the
affection and esteem otherwise exhibited
by those in attendance.

seemed to be going III his favor and cor
tain OF the contractors began suit against
Auditor Broderick to pay them for work
already done on Van Ness avenue.
The Auditor was defended by Jordan's
attorney, Charles F. Hanlon, and though
the case has been under consideration for
some time, an appeal having been taken,
it was ended by the decision of Justice
Harrison, conourred in by the other two
Justices.
Justice Harrison holds that the City
should not pay for work done un-
der private contracts upon the City s
accepted streets or upon streets fronting
upon Its public parks, but that on the
contrary all work on streets, of whatever
kind, should be let out to the lowest
bidder.
The opinion is concluded by saying that
the board haa no power to Jump over the
boundaries of its charter and that any
other rule would set at naught all iimita-
tions upon municipal powers

FREQ YATES IS HERE,
An Artist Who Lived Many
Years in San Fran
cisco.
Success Achieved in Europe
Work Is Highly
Praised.

The owl of Bohemia was happy bird
last night. Fred Yates, an artist OF re-
nown, came back to the club after an ab-
sence of seven years in Europe, and
Joseph D. Redding strolled in after So
iourn OF seven months in New York. Both
will remain to participate in the festivi-
ties of the midsummer high jinks to take
place Saturday night of next week in the
redwoods near Guerneville.
Fred Yates came to San Francisco in
1877 and painted portraits and gave lessons
IN painting. Among the well-known men
who encouraged him in a substantial
manner were General w. II. L. Barnes,
Arthur Scrivener and DR.. Horatio Steb-
bins. He gained some renown here in a
local sense, but did not receive the recog-
milton or financial success due to the merit
of his works until be went to Europe.
Some portraits that he painted at a
castle near Belfast were no better than
portraits that he had painted in San Fran
cisco, but they were recognized as excel
lent examples of art. This was the be-
ginning of his success abroad, although
before coming to California he had studied
in France and italy.
The success which he attained at Belfast
was repeated in London. This year he
has two pictures in the Royal Academy
and one in the Salon. He was in the
Salon last year and four years ago, ana
has been continuously in the academy for
several years. At Vickery's an album
NAV be seen which con ntains photographs
of his best works.
Shortly after his arrival in San Fran
cisco Yesterday, Mr.. Yates paid visit to
! the studio OF his old friend William Keith.
Speaking of this visit and me ntlonlng one
picture that he saw there, he said last
| evening:
keith is one of the greatest painters in
| the world. l saw in his studio to-day a
picture that would create enthusiasm in
| the art circles of London. Abroad he
would be recognized as one OF the great
men of the day.
I'm fact" continued Mr.. Yates, "Ameri-
cans are on top in Europe. Look at six OF
the leaders to-day, all Americans
Melchers and CIausen.
| When asked about the standing re-
spectiyely of the Salon an0 the Royal
| Academy. Mr.. Yates replied that the
artists generally priced the Salon recog-
milton highest. This was due in measure
TO the rule of the Salon, which forbids tue
| acceptance of more than two pictures
| from any artist. The old customs of the
| academy have not changed. An artist
NAV have six or seven paintings admitted.
This year $1,000 pictures were sent in
| and 1900 accepted for hanging. Some are
placed so high that telescope is needed
Another San Francisco artist, whose
work is highly priced by Mr.. Yates, is
Bruce Porter. "Mr. Porter is young
man and is sure to gain recognition. In
stained glass he is an artist of the first
rank"
To-day Mr.. Yates will visit the San
Francisco School of Designs at the Mark
Hopkins Institute of Art. He will remain
in California until the latter part of Sep
| tember.

SACRAMENTO THIEVES CAUGHT.
Police Officers Apprehend the Gang That
Looted a Clothing Store in
ApriL

SA ACRAMENTO, CAL, Aug. 12.-After
weeks of persistent shadowing Police Off,
GERS Nagle and Fisher have succeeded in
discovering the perpetrators of one of the
most extensive burglaries ever committed
in this city, and have lodged the entire
gang in the City Prison.
On the ght OF the 23d Of April last an
entrance was effected into an uptown
tailor establishment situated on K street
near the postoffice, in the heart of the
city, and over $28oo worth of fine clothes
were stolen and carried away in one
horse wagon. The robbery was committed
during a terrific rainstorm, and there
was not clew left by which the robbers
could be traced except the i'm prints of the
burglars horse and the wheels of their
wagon. The trail of these was lost as
soon as it struck the bituminous streets.
Some days ago Nagle and Fisher were
led to believe that a gang living with a
notorious woman named Silverlock in a
back street was concerned in the robbery.
They arrested the woman on q charge of
vagrancy and she was convicted and sent
to the county Jail. This broke up the
rendezvous, and the officers shadowed the
gang uAIlA lEcy Cdptulco oAC "a Iho ulcH-
bers while drunk and conveyed him to the
police station, where he broke down and
confessed, giving the names of his confed-
crates and naming the spot where the
stolen goods had been buried.
Two other members of the gang were
then arrested and search made for the
plnnder, but it was found that the theory
of "honor among thieves" had been sx-
ploded, for while his two confederates had
been in duress vile for minor offenses the
third had made away with the entire
plunder and now processes innocence.
The names of the men under arrest are
Harry Wagner. Frank Kelly and John
Lambert.

Funds.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Aug. R.-The
case OF the people against R. B. London,
charged with embezzIement of public
money while acting as deputy Tax Col
lector, was concluded and submitted to
the jury this afternoon. London was
found guilty and will be sentenced on Sat-
urday, August o.
The trial has occupied two weeks, one OF
which was spent in getting jury. The
case attracted much attention, as such
cases always do in small communities,
but more particularly by reason OF his
peculiar line of defense, which was that
the defalcation was due to some one else,
within or without the Office of the Sheriff
and Tax Collector, and not cent of it
dozen witnesses swore that London ad-
mitted his guilt and said he was solely re-
sponsible for the loss.
