An English Craftsman Puts His Art to a
 Strange Use.
 A coffin yarn from England is this, from a Nottingham paper: "The hobby of an old gentleman, who has just de parted this life in Duddlestone, was wood carving. Being of independent means he was able to devote his time to the craft and become very artistic craftsman. After filling his house with hand-carved furniture he turned his at- tention to the carving of an oaken coffin, to contain his remains Over the richly-carved panels he spent much loving care. In this coffin de luxe he was buried recently, and in accordance with minute instructions in his last will and testament, was followed to the grave by one mourner only-a young man to whom he had left the bulk of his property, ignoring all of his rela- tives. The coffin was conveyed to the churchyard in the old gentleman's pri- vate vehicle, drawn by his favorite pony" --~---

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
Deputy Fish Commissioner Bass
Comes Near Drowning.

REDDING, April 29.-Seymour Bass,
Deputy Fish Commissioner at Baird,
had a narrow escape from death by
drowning in the Pitt River last evening.
In company with his two sons and
James Cessna of this city Mr.. Bass was
returning home after attending the Odd
Fellows celebration in Redding. He
drove a span of horses attached to a
light wagon. When the party arrived
at the ferry the water was running like
a mill-race One of the cables broke as
the ferry-boat reached the middle of the
stream, and the large boat slowly turned
bottom up.
Mr.. Cessna and the two boys scram-
bled upon the bottom of the boat in
safety, but Mr.. Bass was carried down
stream by the torrent. He was caught
in an eddy and whirled about for sew
eral minutes, but finally the boat drifted
near enough to him to enable his COM
panions to pull him aboard.
Mr. Bass was unconscious for two
hours after his rescue, but eventually
revived, and is now out of danger
The horses and buggy were swept
down the river, and no trace of them
has been found.

IN THE SENATE.
! WASHINGTON, April 29.-The
statue of Father Marquette, placed by
the State Of Wisconsin in the National
Hall of Statuary in the Capitol was to-
day officially presented to and accepted
by the Senate. Eulogies of the good
priest were pronounced by the two
Wisconsin Senators, Mitchell and Villas;
by Kyle of South Dakota and by Pal
mer of Illinois.
Mitchell spoke of the Jesuits in North
America as the "transcendent heroes
of the army of civilization" and de-
scribed Father Marquette as the one
great historic character of Wisconsin
whose name would shine the brighter
as time goes on.
Villas spoke of him as the gentle
high -souled, fearless preacher, the dis
coverer of the Mississippi, a nobleman
with soul lifted to God, a gentle en-
thusiast a man to do without boasting
the deeds that heroes do, and said it
was such as he that Congress spoke Of
when it marked for this special honor
Ca place in Statuary HalD persons illus
trious for historic renown.
Kyle praised the sanity character
and unselfshness of Father Marquette,
and said that he had given his life for
those he loved, and Palmer spoke of
him as the representative of courage
resolution and devotion to the eleva-
ton of humanity. There was no ex-
preston of opposition to the acceptance
of the statue.
After this matter was disposed of the
naval appropriation bill was taken up
and the remainder of the session was
given up to political speeches.

in every holdup on the San Leandro
road. and that they were equally guilty
with him in several other robberies of
minor Importance committed elsewhere
on the outskirts of Oakland
AT the time of his arrest for robbing
Hamilton Greenbank says he and his
two companions in crime were contem-
plating holding up a Haywards electric
car and robbing not only the conductor
but the passengers as well.
They mad also arranged their plans
for robbing the Southern Pacific depo:
at San Leandro

trict Attorney, who caused the arrest
of Leutz and Snyder, both Of whom are
we'll known in police circles.
