MANY SEATS COLLAPSED.
Score of Prominent Persons Injured
During Society Circus
Performance

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 24.-General
Alfred Orendorf, the well-known Illinois
politician, Postmaster Reddick RidgeIy
and nearly a score of other people promi-
nent in society circles here. were seriously
injured tonight by an unfortunate ac-
cident which occurred at Society Uir-
Gus, given on the lawn at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. James T. Jones.
The preparations for the affair were on
an elaborate scale. Seats had been built
in tiers, resembling regular circus. They
were packed with people and a few min
utes before the performance was to begin
the seats nearest the street collapsed with
out warning, precipitatins the occupants
to the ground.
Quite serious panic ensued. Medical
aid was quickly summoned and all the in
jured were removed to their homes, where
they are being cared for. The most seri-
ously hurt besides the ones named above
are Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Brainerd, Mrs. Z.
w. Dana and Mrs. J. L. Hudson.
The injuries range from slight cuts and
bruises to broken limbs and injured
spines. 1t is not thought any of the in.
jured will die.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June PA deci-
sion of great importance to blacklIsted
railway employees listed during the strike
of 1894 has just been handed down by
Judge Collier of the Second New Mexico
District Court at Albuquerque. The sali-
ent points of the decision follow:
''It appearing to the court that because
of membership in an order known as the
American Railway Union certain en-
ployes of the receivers having in charge
the assets of defendant ca. and P. Com
pany) refused to perform their duties as
employees and were discharged from the
employment of the then receivers, and,
''It further appearing that in the opin-
ion of the court such connection should
not be considered bar to employment by
the receivers if applicants ale in other re-
spects proper persons to be employed, the
court being fully advised, it is ordered ad-
judged and decreed that hereafter in the
employment of applicants desiring service
with the receivers no discrimination shall
be made against any one because of mem
bership in said union, or because of refusal
to perform services during said strike,
and the receiver by this court is hereby di-
rected to give all needful instructions for
the carrying out in good faith of this
order"

Los ANGELES CLAIMANTS,
7tco More Great GRANDCHILDREN of Micah
Dyer Discouered.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 24-The
family and friends of DR.. Will C. Lindley.
brother of Hervey Lindley, found much to
interest them in the recent story printed
in THE CALL, giving an account of the
heirship of the children of Mayor Davie
of Oakland to an immense spoliation claim
due from the Congress of the United
States and amounting to $55, 900, 900.
The money was paid by France and held
in trust by the United States for depreda "a
tions to private persons and property dur
ing the exciting years about the end of the
last century. 1t appears that the two
little children of DR.. LindIey, Henry Mil
ton LIadley and Elsie S. Lindley, are great
grandchildren of Micah Dyer, and stand
in the same relation to the millions as
the Davie children. They would share
equally with them in the distribution of
this great amount OF money.

LAUNCHING OF THE TAHOE,
Baby Bliss Christened the Boat
and Lisped Its Pretty
Name.
The New Craft Is Thought to Be the
Fastest of It's Kind Now
Afoat.

MCKINNEYS LANDING, LAKE IA
HOE, Cal, June 4.-Hundreds of people
gathered early in Glenbrook this morning
to witness the launching of the new
steamer Tahoe. The Meteor went to
conveyed the guests across the lake.
1t was feared last night that the water
would be too rough for the launch
ing to-day, but toward morning the breeze
died down and the ceremony went off
without hitch.
Glenbrook was mass of bunting and
flags, as was the steamer and stand on
which the exercises took place. At II A, NJ.
the United States Inspectors arrived from
San Francisco and inspected the hull be-
fore she went into the water. At II O. clock,
the hour for launching, Baby Bliss aged
2 years, son of William Bliss, was seated
on an elevated stand and calling out the
name "Tahoe." let go the ribbon at
tacbed to the champagne bottle and
christened the boat. Amid booming OF
cannon, screeching of whistles and music
of bands the pretty little craft slid into
the water and was towed outward.
Robert Forsyth of the Union Iron
Works arrived from San Francisco this
morning. Messrs. Forsyth, Gregg, Car,
negie, Smith, Young and McKenna had
charge of the construction. James Gregg
had full charge of the launching and it is
needless to say both the building and
launching were grand success. Mr..
Eckert got up the specifications and drew
the lines.
Eckhert also drew the lines for the Me-
teor, launched at Lake Tahoe twenty years
ago, and the fastest boat in the world OF
its size at the time of launching, its speed
being twenty-one miles per hour. There
is no doubt the Tahoe will show itself to
be the fastest OF its kind on it's trial trip.
1t is claimed that the Union Iron Works
has laid out over $4,000 on extras, over
what the specifications called for. Too
much praise cannot be given the com pany
and its employees for the building of the
finest boat of it's sort with machinery to
run it that has ever been foated. The
Tahoe is about 10 feet long by Is feet
beam and of 1900 horse power. 1t has a
steel hull, twin propellers to turn 400 rev.
olutions per minute, electric lights and
all modern appliances. A dining-room
and all conveniences are provided for
guests. There is also 1000 candle power
searchlight for use at night.
The old and well-known lake pilot, Cap
tain Pomine, will command the Tahoe,
and he has an efficient crew to assist him.

THE PARkER WILL CONTEST.

Judge Pate rson Presents the Issues for
the Jmry's Confederation.
SAN JOSE, CAL, June 24-In the
Parker will contest the entire forenoon
was taken up in argument as to whether
the will as part could be declared in
valid, the attorneys for the contestant
having abandoned the attempt to break
the will, except as to the subsidiary legacy
given to Jane Pomeroy. The matter was
argued by Coogan and Patterson for the
contestant and Delmas and Spencer for
the respondents.
Judge Paterson presented the following
issues to be submitted to the jury:
Was g. H. Parker of sound and disposing
mind and memory on october Is, 1892?
Was the document executed by G. H. Parker
on that day procured TO be made through the
fraud of Jane, Noah and Marshal Pomeroy!
Was the document procured to be made
through their undue influences?
Was G. II. Parker on April %, 1898, the date
of the first codicll OF sound and disposing
mind?
Was said codicil procured through toe fraud
or undue influence of the Pomeroy's?
Was G. H. Parker on July 5, 1893, the date of
the execution of the second codicil, OF sound
and disposing mind?
Was said second codicil procured to be made
through The fraud or undue influence of the
Pomeroys?
Was Parker acting under an insane delusion
or the fraud or undue influence of the Pome-
roys when the provision was made by which,
if Edward Parker should die before his wife,
the trustees should pay over to Jane Pomeroy
half of all the property remaining after lega-
cies had been paid?
Was G. H. Parker acting under the insane
delusion, the fraud or undue influence of the
Pomeroys when that provision in the will was
made making Marshal Pomeroy the residuary
legatee of the other remaining half?
Did the same influence exist when the other
beQueStS were made ?
The counsel for proponents asked that
the jury be instructed not to consider the
testimony of witnesses as to the mental
condition of George III. Parker, unless the
witness had given reason for forming
such an opinion. They also wanted the
question as to the soundness of Parker s
mind eliminated from the issues to the
Jury, but the court refused to do so.
Judge Reynolds then took the matter
under Amusement until 2:30 o'clock, when
he decided that no special part of the will
could be attacked, but that the will as a
whole is either valid or invalid. In decid-
ing the matter, the court said:
1 have given the matter the most careful
consideration. After examinin ing the petition
l can see nothing in it attacking one special
part of the will only. Any special issue must
be set up in the issue. To single out one por-
ton of the will and say that the testatol made
it under the undue influence of certain parties
or delusion. while in making the rest of the
will he WAS of sound normal mind, cannot be
done. The will is either valid or invalid as a
whole.
Attorney Coogan then began the argu-
ment before the jury in behalf OF the con-
testantS.

An Exciting Four -cornered Rowing Race in
Which Very Fine Sport Is Wit
messed

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, June pa
Cornell's freshmen won the four-cornered
freshmen race this afternoon, defeating
Harvard by one and quarter lengths in
10 minutes and IS seconds.
Harvard was three-quarters of a length
in front of Pennsylvania, while Colum bia,
which was never dangerous, was beaten
over ten lengths.
Columbia and Harvard got slightly the
best of what was only fair start, Cornell
getting off third, while the University of
Pennsylvania got away very badly.
Pennsylvania made up leeway quickly
and TO the half-mile mark it was desper-
ate race Tor the lead between Cornell and
Harvard with Pennsylvania rapidly clos
ing the gap.
At the half-mile the Harvard boats nose
was Just in front of Cornell Pennsylyania
was hanging on the stern OF the red and
white and Colum bia was laboring in dis
tress a length in the rear OF the Quakers.
Off Pennsylvania quarters cheer
from the Ithacan delegation announced
that Cornell had shot in front OF the
crimson. Faster and faster the Cornell
shell shot through th water as Carter
auickened the stroke.
Nearing the bridge Pennsylvania
spurted. Going under the bridge the or
der was: Cornell clear of Harvard s can
vas; University of Pennsylvania Tapped
on the crimson, and Columbia coming
hopelessly four lengths astern.
Then a desperate race commenced. Inch
by inch the Quakers gained on Harvard,
until a half a mile from home the two
were level and going after Cornell. Oppo-
site the Cornell boathouse the CornelIs
were a clear length in front of Pennsyl-
wanna and Harvard who were rowing bow
and bow in a desperate race.

Story of Farmer Who InsG0ines He
Has Seen Durham.
ST. HELENA, CAL, June 24-City
Marshal Johnson and Constable Spur
are on the road north of Calistoga hunting
Murderer Dunham. At IL o'clock to-day
James Dowdell, a well-known farmer who
lives mile south of st. Helena, while
driving to town was passed by man on
bicycle riding very hard and carrying
double barreled shotgun. When about
thirty yards ahead the bicycIist dis
m ounted, laid his wheel on the side of
the road and asked Dowdell for ride in
his wagon. Answering an inquiry as to
the bicycle, the stranger said boy would
come along soon and bring it to town,
and they rode off, leaving it in the road.
Dowdell noticed that the passenger was
very alert and kept his gun in convent
eut position. He said that he came from
Napa, but offered no explanation of him
self or his strange conduct. Arriving in
town he hurriedly dismounted and passed
on toward Calistoga.
Dowdell going home soon after noticed
that the bicycle was gone. Then he be-
thought himself Of the resemblance of
this strange passenger to Dunham and
hunting up his picture in The CALL was
convinced that he was the much-wanted
individual. He Immediately came to st.
Helena and notified the officers
Constable Spur noticed the man as he
got out of Dowdell's s wagon and recalled
that his features and general description
were very much like those of Dunham.
The suspect was seen this afternoon on
the Calistoga road, riding very hard.
When he passed through town he had on
gray cap. no coat, light trousers, sash
around the waist, wore large glasses and
looked worn and anxious.

Preparing for the Most Interest
ing Contests in the Coasts
History.
BROWN LOWERS HIS RECORD.
The California Sprinter Covers Mile
in 4:34 and Was Simply Out
for Exercise.

PORTLAND, Or, June PA party Of
seven tanned and lusty looking young
men from the famous Olympic Club of San
Francisco arrived in Portland this morn
ing on the Shasta special over the South
ern Pacific.
The athletes are quartered at the Port
land Hotel and this afternoon they are
loosening up their muscles from the effects
of the long ride. On to-nights steamer
from California two more members OF the
athletic team will arrive, they choosing to
take advantage of a sea voyage.
The members of the team are: r. w.
Edgren, W. G. Patterson, John Brunton,
P. NJ. Wand, F. R. Butz. D. E. Brown, NJ.
II. Collins and c. T. Krelling, the latter
two to arrive on the steamer. Beside these
there are Captain Leonard Gill, who is
managing the team, and w. K. Mlsner
one of the stanch supporters OF the
Olympic team, who comes in the capacity
of official chaperon and rooter for the Wis
itors' success. The financial end of mat
ters is looked after by A. Acheson. The
boys are all well and report fine trip.
The party was met at the depot by a
committee composed of B. F. Stevens,
John T. Logan, H. E. Judge, Rodney
Glisan and Louis ]. Goldsmith of the
Multnomah Club, which will entertain the
visitors until Saturday, when the most
notable athletic contest between the ath-
Ietes of the North and South Pacific Coast
that has ever been seen yet will be held.
Judging from the widespread interest felt
in the games no previous meeting OF the
Californians and Oregonians has ever been
by half so important.
The visiting athletes will be rendered a
reception tonight by the Multnomah
Club. Joseph n. Teal will welcome the
visitors in a speech and all informal pro-
gramme will follow. A large number OF
well-known ex-Californians have arranged
to make the Olympic members stay In
the city as pleasant as possible. If the
visitors are allowed their preference in the
arrangement of the programme, as usually
the visiting team is, the half mile will be
last on the programme. Dave Brown will
run in this event, and if the Olympic cap
tain finds that they need the points Brun-
ton will run in this with him. Brown may
run the mile by himself, and the captain
says of him:
You will miss fine exhibition if you
don't see Brown run. He is the best man
on the coast and holds the record at 4:36.
He has magnificent stride. In trial
feat by himself last Saturday he made it
in "a"
Large delegations of visitors from the
Corvallis Agricultural College, the State
University and the Willamette Univer-
sity at Eugene will come to see the
games, besides hundreds from nearer
towns. In anticipation of this the agents
of ali railway lines centering in Portland
have been notified to place on sale excur-
sion tickets for the occasion. The tickets
will be good to return home on Monday.
On Saturday night there will be an espe-
cially interesting exhibition at the Multi
nomah Club, when Krelling, the California
pet, wrestles with Greenland, the Multno-
nah champion.
