DRIVEN FROM THEIR HOME.
Arrival Here Of Four Of the Prosecuted
ArmenianS.
Awful Stories Told by Them of
Murders by the Turkish
Butchers.

There are four strangers in the city
from a strange land-almost a mythical
land to many-a land which has been
the mother of history, and which is now
filled with shuddering horrors too awful
to relate. upon which Christian world
looks and Winks
They are Armenians from the town of
Marcevan, in Asiatic Turkey, and their
names are Hagop Haigian, aged 30, his
son, Parsagh, aged "A, and his nephews
Arvent and Mardig Lousinian, aged 26
and %, respectively.
1t was Parsagh Haigian who told the
story of the trials and tribulations of the
quartet to a Record Union reporter,
and he told it in a straightforward man.
ner and in very fair English.
Until three months ago he and his two
cousins were students in the Congrega-
tional College at Marcevan, and were in
attendance the day the Turks began
their work of massacre there. His father
was in easy circumstances, and at the
time of the outbreak was at his home
with his two small children, girl of
and boy of 2 years.
While the Christians of Marcevan
were aware that the Emirs, or priests,
were stirring up the Mohammedans,
they were not apprehensive of an imme-
diate attack and it came like thunder
bolt from a clear sky.
The Mohammedan Emir, according to
the story of Parsagh Haigian, called his
followers, both citizens and soldiers, to
noon prayers. He then informed them
that the time had come, and that both
church and state demanded vengeance
on the Christian Armenians He ordered

outcry can work no harm. They make
a great show of going into the Police
Courts and justice shops to protect
some helpless creature from arbitrary
Injustice, when, as a matter of fact,
they know that they have selected their
defendants with scrupulous business
acumen, so as to entail the least amount
OF struggle while rejecting the largest
amount of glory upon themselves.
They espouse the cause of religion, not
for religions sake but to gain subscrib-
ers of sanctimonious turn of mind.
They challenge the cause of labor not
with any especial desire to see it tri-
umph, but from desire to retain and
gain labor readers. They stand for
justice or injustice, truth or falsehood,
wealth or the poor, according as the
business office dictates and they aim
to cater to as many elements as may be
without conflicting them or injuring
their own prestige and income.
Such is a portion of the newspaper
world as we see it-exemplified in a
hundred so-called bright, newsy jour
mails. There are exceptions, of course.
Here and there are great men arrayed
for this life's battle in editorial mail.
who stand for right, charity, generos-
ity, and would not cater to a cause or
an element though it brought them a
mint of gold. Here and there are
true men, just as they are in every
cause, who are grand in their serene in
difference to all save the true and pure
as they see it, and to them the world
stands indebted. But, like poets and
philosophers, they are rare indeed,
while the temple of news is filled to
overfiowing with money changers of the
most graSping and rapacious kind.

DAMAGING RAINS.
Great Injury Believed to Have Been
Done to Fruit.

Yesterdays rain appears to have been
quite general throughout the valleys
of the central counties, the great fruit
growing districts of the State, and it's
effect cannot be otherwise than dam
aging.
Cherries and strawberries will suffer
most, and it looks as if there will be a
very small crop of the former for ship
ment. Apricots are also injuriously af-
fected by rain as they approach the pc
riod of ripening, but it is not thought
that pears and peaches will suffer ma
terially.
The frost of a few days ago badly
nipped some vineyards in this county
that had escaped when other sections
were visited, and the present outlook
is that both table and wine grapes will
command good not to say big prices.
The unprecedented cool weather is
of fruit, and taken all in all the season
has been a perplexing as we'll as dis
appointing one to all fruit-growers. The
rain has also drenched many localities
where hay had been cut, and unless a
dry north wind comes on at once many
hay crops will not be worth gathering.
Wheat and barley appear to be about
the only crops that are escaping in
jury, and these as rule should yield
well. But prices are SO low that there
is no money in raising grain, so that
the outlook for tillers of the soil is not
very rose-colored this season.

THE SENSATIONAL PRESS.
Claim That the People Are Getting
Tired of 1t.
From Every Monthly

The press of this country is a world in
itself. and as a world quite unassail-
able, for there is no outer force capa-
BILE of contending with it's inner evil.
People, as a rule, stand in fear of news
papers-that is, people whose affairs
are sacred to themselves, and no one
in private life can reasonably hope to
cope with an organ of wealth and in
fuence in a public one on it's own
ground, as it were. AS a result of this
condition newspapers have gone their
way of doing much as they pleased
and people have continued to read them,
glad to get the news at any price and
putting up with much that is not news,
nor even common sense, when it came
printed ON the same pages. They have
observed newspapers grow and become
vastly powerful, and they have beheld
vanity, -glorification and sensa-
tionalism creep in without being able
to inveigh against them, because, as has
been said, the press is world to itself
and quite unassailable. from without.
In view of these evils and conditions,
it is well that a reaction against SEN
sationalism and vanity, against self
glorification and immortality has set in,
not from without but from within the
newspaper world itself. Certain papers
have taken a decisive stand on the sub
ject, and have begun to call their fell
low-craftsmen vigorously to account.
We hear much of "crime sheets" and
sensation and it is not novel
to see a complete expose of one jour-
nails errors in another, and not always
a rival column at that. Newspapers in
widely separated cities are beginning to
take account of one another, and Chi
cago does not hesitate to arraign New
York or st. Louis journals and vice
versa
This is good and to the interest of
real news, as all must suspect, for there
is an immense amount of sham about
the newspapers of to-day, and a vast
amount of wrong-doing. Some jour-
nails work their way to prosperity by
means of great parade of charity when
really greed is the actuating infiu-
ence They make a great show of
standing for the rights of the people,
when they know that the majority Of
the battles which they begin are al
ready won from the people and their

THOUGHT TO Be BLANTHER.
Suspicious Actions Of a Man Who Came
From Oakland.
He Left Here on the East-Bound
Overland Train Last
Night.

A Sacramentan who came up on the
local train last evening is certain that
Blanther, the murderer of Mrs. Lang
feldt in San Francisco, was a passen-
ger.
When the train was leaving the Six
teenth-street station at Oakland man
emerged from an outhouse ON the bay
side Of the track and boarded a second
class car. He had no grip nor other
luggage, and spoke 10 no one on the
train until just before reaching this
city, except to ask the newsboy at what
hour the Oregon train would leave
here.
Whenever the train reached a town
along the road the man entered the
toilet-room and remained out of sight
until the station was passed.
He was a young man, smooth shaven
with noticebly long and prominent
chin and wore eyeglasses, and the
Sacramentan, who studied him closely
Is confident he filled the description OF
murderer Blanther.
On nearing Sacramento he spoke tc
the man in the seat behind him, with
whom he appeared to be familiar
though they had not before spoken to
one another, and on leaving the train
here he had a grip. AS before stated
he was empty handed when he boarded
the train.
Chief Drew was notified, and Officer
Douglas and Special Brissel visited the
depot. There the trainboy pointed out
to them a man who he said was the one
that got aboard at Oakland and paid his
fare on the train. The man had in the
meantime changed his hat for cap.
The officers interviewed him and re-
ported that in their opinion he did not
answer the description of Blanther, and
said he left on the East bound train.
He probably did, for Sheriff Johnson
and Deputy Kelly, who learned of the
suspect, went to the Oregon train,
which left at II O'Clock, and satisfied
themselves that no such person left on
that train
