GROSS FRAUDS
= IN THE SEVENTH
Attempt of Bowers Enc
mics to Beat Him in
the Count.
Telltale Letter From a Demo
crat Falls Into Repub.
lican Hands.
"MFXICAN VOTE CAN BE FIXED
The Missive Unfolds a Scheme to
GIVE Picacho Precinct 10 the
Fusionists.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Nov. S.-Hon. WV.
Bowers returned this evening from Santa
Ana, where he participated in the jollif-
cation last night He was asked if there
: was any change in his fight in the Seventh
District.
Eyes, there is some little change" re-
piled Mr.. Bowers, land the worst of it is
:. the change is for the bad. l am still
{ ahead, but my plurality is reduced. From
returns l have received to-day l find that
have lost 45 votes in MADEIRA County
and recounting shows that have about
100 plurality now, that is, counting nv
figures as correct. Unless l have been
deceived by kilograms from my friends in
the northern part of the district, am still
ahead and will come out all right in the
official count. [ admit that the figures
are now so close that it is impossible to
say with certainty whether Mr.. Castle or
myself is elected. An official count is the
only thing that can decide the matter
l have every reason for believing, how
ever, that 1 will serve in the next Con-
gress."
As an example of the frauds that have
been committed in the rural districts OF
this county, if not throughout the entire
district, attention has been called to
Picacho District, which is q small precinct
on the Colorado River in this county, so
remote that it is practically inaccessible.
a letter was written by prominent
Democrat there to Democrat now filing
n county Office, referring Enthusiastically to
the manner in which the frauds would be
carried out. Colonel D. K. Allen, who
seems to be the only staiwart Republican
at Picacho, was watching things too close
ly, and the Democrat in his letter wrote :
81 will send you the name of a Demo-
crat and also a Silver Republican. You
can put them on the election board and
thus we can checkmate u. X. Allen. The
Mexican vote, OF course, can be fixed.''
BY fatal error this letter, instead of
being addressed to the Democratic office
holder, was inclosed in printed envelope
addressed to Republican. He has it
still, and has given certified copies to
several candidates, who may find use for
them later on. In consequence of the
frauds at Picacho. Mckinley received two
votes and Bryan fourteen, Bowers TWO and
Castle fifteen, and the fusion candidate for
the Assembly, K. Dryden, received fifteen
more votes than Cox. Republican The
district at the former election cast an
almost solid Republican vote. Though
Mr.. Bowers is silent on this point it is
openly predicted by his intimate friends
that If Castle receives q plurality in the
official count, Bowers will contest the
election IN Congress, where he will be
sure to receive q hearing and an inYestiga.

THE RESULT OF A COLLISION /.

The American bark Canada, sixteen
days from Union City, is on the beach
off Black Point. She is resting on muddy
bed and it is thought she can be pulled
into deep water before any damage is
done.
The Canada arrived outside the heads
early Saturday morning and In order to
save expense her captain, G.. Wicksberg,
refused tow and anchored outside IN
tending TO sail into port yesterday after
noon.
Owing to a collision with the steamer
City of Puebla off Otter. Point, in the
Straits of Fuca, on the night OF October
"a the vessel lost one anchor her martin
gale was carried away, and the jibboom
was so badly damaged that she could carry
no head sail.
In this crippled condition the vessel
started into port. Everything went we'll,
and the vessel was about to anchor off
Black Point when an unfortunate acci-
dent occurred. As the anchor was being
dropped the chain broke and the ship was
helpless.
She drifted toward the beach and al
though strenuous efforts were made by
the captain and crew to keep the bark in
deep water, she was beached by the strong
eddy and was soon fast in the mud.
Tugs were summoned by the Merchants
Exchange to pull the Canada from her
unpleasant position, but the tide had re-
ceded and she was held 100 fast.
The vessel is loaded with piles and is in
no danger and owing to these facts the
tug men may wait until high tide to-day
before undertaking to pull her into deep

HOnOred.

The Memory of Sister Helen Elisabeth
PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, Nov. s.-RighI
Rev. w. +. Nichols, ID. D., Bishop of Cali
fornia, to-day delivered the dedicatory
sermon for the Reed memorial window at
the Episcopal Church OF ST. Mary Shy the
Sea. The service of blessing and dedica-
tion. performed by Bishop Nichols, was
impressive. Rev. Mr.. FackenthaIl, the
rector, read the morning service, after
which the Bishop gave a scholarly dis
course from the text 1.-The garment OF
praise for the spirit of heaviness.
In the course of the sermon he spoke of
the life and work of Miss Reed, to whose
memory the window is dedicated He told
of how much of the present prosperity
of the church at Pacific Grove was due to
her; of her being ordained deaconess
with the name of Sister Helen Elizabeth
and of how her increasing labors among
the poor and sick in the slums of San
Francisco broke her health and brought
her useful life TO an untimely end.
The window, placed directly over the
altar, is a representation of the annuncia-
ton of the angel to the Virgin Mary, and
Is both beautiful and costly.

HOW "Unclo sam" Got His Name

How 'Unclo Sam" Got His Name.
The nickname, "Uncle Sam" as applied
to the United States Government, is said
to have originated as follows: Samuel Will
son, commonly called "UncIe Sam" was
a Government inspector of beef and pork
at Troy, n. Y, about 1872. A contractor
Elbert Anderson, purchased quantity Of
provisions, and the barrels were marked
''E. A., Anderson's initials, and "U. s."
for United States. The latter initials were
not familiar TO Wilson's workmen, who
inquired what they meant. A facetious
fellow answered: II don't know. unless
they mean Uncle SAM" A vast amount
of property aiterward passed through VIII
sons hands marked in the same manner.
and he was often joked upon the extent
of his possessions. The Joke spread
through all the departments of the Gov
ernment, and before long the United States

Perhaps Mr.. Hinrichs contented him

have done on similar occasion, with
ION, never mind, de music will sound de

Beel Pop" last night was, taken as
whole, musical treat, and thoroughly
enjoyed by the small but appreciative
audience"
The programme opened with the "Coro-
nation March from the Folkunger by
Kretschman, after which Wagner's soul
stirring strains, as heard in the "Tann-
hauser Overture. evoked hearty applause.
1t was andled in q vigorous manner,
which, however, did not prevent an artistic
climax.
The air from Bach's "Suite IN D" was
played with good deal of uncertainty
some of the strings being half measure
or SO behind the others-but a second rem
dition fully compensated for This and the
audience manifested its approval by
heartily applaudlnG. Bizet's "Arlesienne
Suite" was performed, the adagio being
rendered with exceeding refinement and
delicacy.
Willis Bachelor was in good voice and
did some good work in the exacting tenor
solo from the first act of Leo Delibes'
"Lakme," although the orchestra was
rather too much in evidence and almost
drowned his heroic efforts in some pass
ages.
The duet with Mrs. Priest Fine, how
ever. was dramatically rendered. but the
gem was found in the "Bell Song for So
prano, which showed off the exceptional
flexlbility OF Mrs. Fines voice. 1t is not
an easy thing to attack an altitudlnous
note with the "haif voice." but this she
accomplished with ease and without vary
