SAN DIEGO EL0PEMEKT.
Two Young Lovers, With the Assistance of
Sea Captain, 0Qtwit Pater-
nal Parent.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, July IA romantic
tic marriage at sea occurred Sunday, the
facts coming to light to-day. Joseph Sill
vey, bright young bookkeeper, and Miss
Ella Ernskamp were the principals, and
the father OF the maiden was the bar
rier who forced the lovers to go to sea.
The girl, who is very pretty, is only II,
and her father told Silvey to keep away
from her, that she was too young to marry
and that trouble would occur if the young
man was too insistent.
The trouble occurred on the Fourth,
when Silvey was prevented from spending
the holiday with his girl through the
m Vaccinations of the parent. The next
day Silvey sought Captain Paulsen, the
big-hearted skipper OF fast launch, and
hired the boat for days fishing outside.
Two friends went along besides the girl

fishing tackle, but Silvey took out copy

skipper to do his duty. Captain Paulsen.
bewitched by the blue eyes of the girl, tied
the knot and added his blessing.
This is the fifth or sixth knot the skip
per has tied and not one has slipped. The
launch was headed for home, and on the
way Sllvey bous ht lot of fish in order to
carry out the deception ne had practiced.
With these the party disem marked, and the
girl by misleading her parents kept the
marriage a secret until to-day. The old
man stormed awhile, but finally gave in

tinel was deceived. He thought the man
trying to escape him was playing 'possum.
He exclaimed, "Now I've got you" and
suiting the action to the word he jabbed
the saber into the PROSTATE face.
The point struck Mattison on the frontal
bone just above his right eye. Had it gone
half an inch lower it would have put out
his eve and probably penetrated his skull.
Willie Long did not mean to do it. He
was in perfect good humor until Mattison
awoke and jumped up with yell.
Then the guard came running and the
great commotion. DR.. Mulligan dressed
the wound, pronounced it not dangerous
ana Mattison is not cooking to-day.
This morning THE CALL correspondent
found Willie Long sitting alone at the
guardhouse beating a snare drum for COM
pany. He smiled, and then said:
"lt was an accident. l did not mean to
hurt him. I'm glad it was no worse
'What are they going to do with your"
was asked.
''I don't know" he said. 81 don't much
care. Why should they do anything to
me? 1t was accidental"
A court of inquiry was set for this even
ing to investigate the accidental stabbing
of Mattison. In the afternoon Willie
Long had the freedom of the camp.
1t was decided this evening to postpone
the court-martial until tomorrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock. Long is little uneasy,
but he has friends. Others have ''joshed"
him to-day about his inability to kill
man with saber. This court-martiaI
will assume National character and
interest for the reason that Benjamin
Mckinley, a first cousin of William Nc
Kinley of Canton, Ohio, Republican NOM
inee for President, will take prominent
part in it. Young Mckinley is a lawyer
and he has recently hung out his sign in
FRA a ic in
pany A. League OF the Cross Cadets. The
cadets have been inclined to joke him in
camp some by asking him about his
political prospects, whether he expects to
be Minister to the Court of St. James, or
Africa, or Samoa. An effort is being
made by Willie Longs friends to get him
to defend the private, but Mckinley has
not yet given definite answer.
It is expected that Rev. Father James A.
Mcdonald will be judge advocate general.
DR.. A. P. Mulligan, the camp physician,
who ranks as major, Captains brady and
Haggerty. First Lieutenants Hooper and
Skelly, Second Lieutenants brady and
Power and enough others will be sworn In
to make it full-fedged court martial of
thirteen.
Private Long takes the matter very seri-
ously. He feared tonight that he might
be drummed out of camp, and expressed
preference to desert and go home. The
court of inquiry will be very formal, sol
emn and dignlfied proceeding, but nobody
fears that Willie Long is going to hang to-
morrow when the flag comes down with
the sun or any other time.
Tonight all the country for several
miles around is here participating either
on the floor or as spectators in dance on
a platform which the cadets have been
two days in building. The health of all
in camp is good; in fact the cooks com
plain that the health of the young saber-
bearers is too good. The drills are few
and not arduous.

CANNOT BE FOUND.
Scott Rfchardson's House In Minneapo-
lis Is Closed.


MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July 7.-Rich-
ardson, believed to be the stepson OF
the woman murdered at Montecito,
CAL, has been in Minneapolis for
the past two months, as near as can be
ascertained. He lives with his wife at zoo
Sixth avenue north. He could not be
found tonight. Their house was locked
and his wife was with her sister. Mrs.
Richardson had no idea of where he
was tonight.
Richardson is a worthless character and
a heavy drinker. He works as construc-
tion man for a telephone company. He
lived here six years ago ana then went to
California and had been back nearly two
months. Friends say he has appeared
worried about something considerably
lately.
1t was said Richardson was at the Court
house in this city at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. He met Coroner Kistler there, and
borrowed dollar from him. 1t is under
stood that he and his wife have quarreled
much of late, and that the two have prac-
ticallv separated. People living in the
vicinity of his room do not seem to know
when he was there last.

San Francisco Bluecoats Suffer From
the Torrid Rays of a Stockton
Sun.

STOCKTON. CAL, July This was a
quiet day at Camp Budd. The most inn
portant occurrence from military stand
point was the inspection of the camp by
Colonel Currier of the division staff. The
advent OF the inspecting officer was Eot
expected until later in the week, but not
wi.hstanding his sudden appearance at
camp the boys were ready for him and the
review was very creditable. The colo mel
stated after the inspection that he was
well pleased with the camp and that he
had few criticisms to make, considering
the fact that it, had been just established.
The chief occupation OF those who re-
mained in camp to-day was keeping cool.
The San Francisco boys are not used to
such temperature as that of to-day, and
they are literally melting under the rays
of the Stockton sun.
Tomorrow evening there will be an en-
tertainment ana battalion reception, at
which a musical, literary and military
programme will be rendered.
The commissioned officers of the
battalion held a meeting this morning
and decided to give a dance in the pa
vilion at the grove on Saturday night. 1t
will be big affair. Companies A and B s
reception to the battalion will take place
in the Agricultural Pavilion Friday night.

DENOUNCED BY BUDD.

OUTRAGEOUS.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 7.-Goyernor
Budd left this afternoon for Sacramento.
This is his first visit to the capital since
his return from the Yosemite Valley with
sprained ankle. Before going he was
seen by CALL correspondent, to whom he
expressed himself freely with reference to
the law governing the payment by the
State to counties of money for the main.
tenance of indigents, to re-enact which the
Supervisors of Los Angeles County have
asked the board of this county to assist
them next year. He called attention to
the fact that Governor Markham and the
State Controller, as well as himself. had
recommended the adjustment of this law
why, it is one of the most outrageous
laws ever enacted" said the Governor.
"It was only an incentive for county of
ficials to misrepresent and endeavor to Sc
cure more than was due them. In cases
where the actual expense was not more
than S72 for each INDECENT the full 800
was collected from the State. If YOU will
take the Controllers report you will see
that the amount paid out annually for
the INDECENT poor more than offsets the
taxes paid in by the counties for this pur-
pose. The law is an outrageous one. If
tn e people think they can re-enact it they
will have to elect more than two-thirds of
the next Legislature who are favorable
TO ii"
1t is evident from his remarks that Gov
ernor Budd will veto the law if it is re-
enacted by the next Legislature.
When asked whom he intended to ap--
point as successor to the late General
Dimond, he said that ne would give this
matter his attention soon after his arrival
in Sacramento. Neither Brigadier- Gene
raj Muller nor Colonel N. T. James wanted
the position. he said. His attention was
called to the statement made in q San

surprise to erypody, and that two
good men from Southern California would
be placed OF the board. Los Angeles will

three gunshot wounds in his BODY and his
head mashed to pulp. Mooney had

The pututive Dunham has, during the

The spread of Superstition.

shoe is nailed to the Intel of the door
no witch can ever enter the house, and
that if one of them happens to go into
neighbours house a broom placed across
the threshold by member Of the fam
ily will prevent her leaving. Somebody
has said that two straws laid crosswise
on the threshold will serve the purpose
quite effectually. A neighbours wife
heard one of them mumbling something
to herself and believed that she was say
ing the Lords Prayer backward. Some
body has also said that they can all be
sent after Pharaoh and his chariots into
the depths of the Red sea if recourse
be had to an expert, but that the latter
must be skilled in arithmetic, algebra,
Hebrew, Greek, Latin and all the origi-
nal (gwreiddio) tongues before he can
compass this mighty feat.

Improvements Being
Made at the Canal
Lighthouse.
Big Improvements to lie Made
reakwater 60 Other Portage
Lake News.

The work being done at the canal light
house is an addition to the keepers house
TO make it large enough for two families,
and the raising OF the light about twelve
ieet. The light will also be larger one
than formerly, because the range lights
back OF it have been made larger, and the
larger main light is necessary to dstin-
guish it from the Others.
Next year will probably see the com
n encement OF work on the big break
water outside the canal entrance. This
improvement has gotten to be an abso-
lutte necessity, so much greater is the use
OF the canal and Portage Lake, especial
~ from this time OF year to the close OF
navigation than formerly.
The break water will make an opening
400 feet wide out in deep water by inclos-
ing the end OF the canal by two segments
OF breakwater extending out from the
shore from either side Of the piers. The
great difficulty OF entering the canal in
rough weather has been the insufficient
depth OF water. Boats lifted by big
wave would be dropped hard on bottom
when in the trough OF the sea. This il
what happened to the Montana lastyeal
and there is always danger OF it. Ii has
been found impossible to deepen THU
channel, for the dredges here strike
ledge of sandstone, and that is limit t.
their work. Every springit lsiound tha
a sand bar has been formed at the en-
trance OF the canal entrance which al
ways takes several weeks to dredg
away. This would be remedied by tn
building oil the breakwater, as inside
that the waves would be powerless.
Next season will probably see 300 mel
working at the various canal improve
ments and that vicinity will therefore b
lively one.

Some Facts For Farmers.

In 1877 the average value of the hay
crop in the United States was IS. 60 per
ton. The following, year it dropped to
1920, and in 1879, the year next ensu'
ing, it jumped up to -. 32 per ton.
Again. In 1891, when this country
was firmly on gold basis, the average
value Of the hay crop was rs. 40 per ton.
In 1892 it fell to $6.7 per ton, and In
1898 il rose to IS. 6S per ton. Last year
the average value was IS. So per ton.
Assuming that the fall in prices Is
due to the "crime ot>lS7S," how are
these fluctuations to be accounted for!
Will some Bryanite explain also why 1t
is that the average value Of the hay crop
per ton was greater in 1895, when we
were on gold basis, than 1t was In
1878, when gold was at premium?
Hay has undoubtedly declined in price
since 1878, but why should it not have
done so? Apart from cheaper methods
of production and cheaper rates OF trans
portation, the annual hay crop increased
from %, OS5, 100 tons in 1873 to 90,
766, 1853 tons in 1898. Last year II
amounted TO about 100000 900.
At the same time the number O
horses in the United States increased
only from 8, 222, 470 in 1878 to 1888.
3lS in 1895. 1t is estimated that Their
are nearly LOO. 900 fewer horses II
this country today than there were thre
years ago.
These plain facts and figures shout
not be hard to comprehend. Let tn
farmer study them before he allow
himself to be hoodwinked by free silv'
| demagogism.
