SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 22.-At the
meeting OF the State Board of Examiners
to-day Secretary of State Brown called
attention to the fact that section 665 of the
Political Code provided that the meetings
OF the board should be held on the first and
third Mondays in the month, and he made
a motion to the effect that in the
future the meetings be held in accord
ance with the statute, and also that the
secretary of the hoard be instructed to
write to the Attorney General, who is re-
sponsible for these Friday meetings, and
notify him of the law.
Deputy William O'Shaughnessy OF
Sheriff Whelan's force demonstrated that
he is thoroughbred" when he travels
on business for the State by including in
his claims the amounts of the tips he had
bestowed on sleeping-car porters and
others while escorting boys to Whittier
School.
They were scheduled as follows: Stew
ards, 81 so; night Waterman, 81 so; pan
tryman, 81; waiter, 81 so. AS he made
two trips he is out just $11. The board

is financially defunct, having overdrawn
its funds $50. With the bills for the present
month it Will have no available funds IN
til July, deficiency is requested, and as it
means a cessation of business unless the
bills are paid, the board concluded to en-
deavor to obtain the attendance of Attor-
ney-General Fitzgerald at least one meet
ing in order to create the deficiency.
The Labor Commissioner also desires to
be allowed deficiency of $1,000, as his
bureau has run short of funds.
While the board was in session the
Governor received a telephone message
from Captain Lees requesting that re-
ward be offered for the arrest and con-
viction of Blanther, the suspected MUIR
derer of Mrs. Langfeldt- Governor Budd
complied with the request by offering $500
and then said:
81 have been accused by the newspapers
OF opposing the San Francisco officers in
not offering this reward. have not neg
lected it, but have been away and have
not been attending to official business"
During the session the Governor stated
that he intended to make trip into Yo-
semitic Valley as soon as the road opened.
He did not state his purpose. but it is
said that he has discovered anot Their mare
nest and intends mixing up with the
Board of Commissioners because, it is
alleged, they expended funds in the erection
of hotel to be rented to private indi-
dividuals.

the coast. The others-Charles A. May
r. J. Humphreys, Terry E. Coe, W. B.
Ross and William Chadwick-are equally
as we'll known.
Marshal Grady did not put them under
arrest, except to the extent that he told
them that they were expected to appear at
the steamer landing this evening to &C
company him to Portland to plead before
United States District Judge Bellinger to-
morrow.
Without exaggeration, Astoria forgot
everything except the departure of this
aggregation. of officials and prominent
citizens. 1t was announced that they
would leave by certain steamship, and
large crowd was on the wharf to bid them
farewell.
Marshal Grady took his prisoners to an
other steamship, but there the crowd was
equally as great, and cheers and groans
followed the vessel on its departure.

MADEIRA, CAL, May %. - Assessor
Hoskins has, by untiring vigilance, sue
ceeded in uncovering another attempt to
conceal the property of ta1-paying corpo-
rations.
The San Joaquin Electric Company,
which furnished the electric power for the
city of Fresno. has plant situated on the
San Joaquin River, in this county, and
was accordingly requested by Assessor
Hoskins to make statement of its prop
erty.
This it did, claiming that the value of
the property was $500, but as there was
an omission in the statement of some prop
erty which the Assessor knew was
on the ground on the frat Mon
day in March, he having taken
the precaution to have a deputy
there on that date to take an inventory of
the machinery, Hoskins went to Fresno
and summoned the officers of the COM
pany to appear and testify before him.
They at first refused to obey the sum-
mons, but on being threatened with an
arbitrary assessment they consented to
answer his questions and admitted that
the value of the property at their plant
was SI2 900.
They claimed that, as the title to the
property had not passed TO them from the
General Electric Company of San Fran
cisco they should not be compelled to pay
taxes upon it.
Hoskins wrote to the General Electric
Company for statement.
They sent one, claiming the property to
be worth $31 600; but the Assessor had
procured their catalogue and discount
sheet and fixed the value of the machinery
at $51 900, upon which the two companies
will be compelled to pay taxes into the
treasury instead of $500.

Los ANGELES ROMAN E,
Twin Brothers Meet After
Having Been Parted for
Thirty Years.
Separated at the Close of the War and
Each Believed the Other to
Be Dead.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. May 22.-Loung-
ers in the corridor of the Hollenb beck
witnessed pathetic meeting this morning
between brothers who had not seen each
other for thirty years. They were Deacon
and Dan Sanford. The brothers grasped
each other in their arms and spectators say
something moistened the cheeks OF each.
The Sanfords are now 90 years OF age.
1t was at the close of the Civil War that
Deacon and Dan, twin brothers, left their
home in Chicago. One came West; the
other went East. Weeks, months and
years passed and they heard nothing of
each other; finally each came to the con-
clusion that the other was dead, and would
probably have continued to believe so but
for the meeting to-day.
Deacon Sanford has been in this city
some weeks, and Dan Sanford has been
running between Los Angeles and Chicago
as Pullman-car conductor on the Santa
Fe overland for two years. Dan Sanford
went out on this mornings overland
train, and his brother saw him off.
They were the happiest pair seen at La
Grande station in many day.
Deacon Sanford has been in the hotel
business in different parts of the United
States for years. He is located perma-
nently in this city now, having accepted
the position OF chef at the Jonathan Club.

Ooultervslte Citizens Naa Camard.

COULTERvILLE, CAL, May 22.-In-
dignation has been aroused to a high
pitch here by the publication in San
Francisco paper of malicious dispatch
treating of brutal crime alleged to have
been committed by Cornishmen at re-
cent Mayday picnic near this city. The
gentleman and his. wife mentioned in the
dis patch deny all knowledge of the state
ment it contained. Those at whom the
accusations were directed are respect
able citizens, and their reported VIC
tins denounce the canard. The state
ment that the MERGED Gold Mining Com
pany employs none but Cornishmen is
untrue. The story of a threatened riot
because of the in. aginary Mayday episode
is denounced as ridiculous.

CUBA'S INSANE FRIEND.
Young Powers Traced to Union
City, Penn, and Again
Lost Sipht Of.
Had Little Boy With HIM and Was
Trying 10 Get Permission
to Preach.

CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 2.-Albert D.
Powers. formerly manager of the Cuban
Relief Bureau in this city, whose mys.
terious disappearance some weeks ago led
to the belief of foul play, is alive. He
was located by the police at Union City,
Tenn, and a telegram from that place
yesterday said that Powers came 10 that
city yesterday morning from Martin,
Tenn, where he had been for several days
painting signs.
He had little boy from Martin with
him and was going around trying to get
permission TO preach in the Courthouse
when he was met on the street by E. c.
Hawes, a relative. Halves asked him
what he was doing there. He SAID he was
lost and had not seen his wife for six years.
Then Hawes invited him to his house to
take supper. He said he was in no condi-
tion to meet his family, but would go and
dress and come back.
Mr.. Hawes went to the telegraph office
to let Powers father know he had found
his son. He left an officer to watch the
young man while he was gone, but the
officer let him go. Powers went to the
little boy and said he was discovered by a
relative and must leave at once, which he
did, going south.
acting strangely. His mind is reported to
be mpaired. While at Fulton ne made
coffin and said he was going to bury man
there for three days and resurrect him.
Young Powers-he is % years old-has
been prominent in Owensboro since he
attained his majority. He had proved
himself a GOOD business man and had
worked his way to position paying $500
-ear. Ardent in religion. he had been
enthusiastic in support of the young
mems Cuban and similar organizations.
A few months ago he interested himself
in the cause Of Cuba, and his enthusiasm
led him 10 come to Chicago and undertake
the establishment OF a great bureau for
collecting clothing, money and supplies
for the insurgents. The office was opened
without the knowledge of the association
in New York, and it was not until Powers
notified them that he had five carloads of
supplies and $4,000 for the committee that
they began an investigation. An officer of
the association, Don Quesada, was set here
TO inves igate Powers Office and when he
expressed some doubt the latter turned
over $4,000 of MS own money as guaranty
of good faith. He disappeared few days
later.
