warth, cloak dealer and a member of the
wholesale firm Of LoeW enstein G. Ober-
warth, was found dead in a room in the
Vanderbilt Hotel, ut 42d street and Lexing-

eide by inhaling gas. Two days ago Cber~
warth went to the hotel and registered as
VIM. Jones. He seemed to have plenty of
money and was thought to be CONNER

only reason that can be assigned for the
suicide is that Mr.. Oberwarth had worried

An Alabama politician reported to the
democratic managers today that Represen-
tative Stallings had been renominated in
what is known as a gold district and thai
he would be reelected. He asserted that
Chairman Hanna had sent a check for
$4,000 to the bolting democratic committee

would get a good deal more before the
campaign was over. He did not think,
however. that the boiling democrats would
poll 5000 votes.

ber, 1895. Large delegations came to-
Eureka from outside towns to see the new
steamer glide from her resting place in
the arms of mother earth into the embrace
OF her future guardian, old Neptune.
Most of the owners are residents of this
county and naturally much interest is felt
here in the welfare of the new steamer.
Consequently there was an immense turn
out, and by o'clock the bay was covered
with steamers, launches, barges and sail
boats, headed for Bendixsen's shipyard
on the peninsula opposite the city.
Shortly before high water the wedges
were driven home, and at 2:45 P. NJ the
last block that held her on the ways was
Knocked away, ana setting into her cradle
she started on her short run to ner native
element, amid the booming of cannon, the
screeching of whistles and cheers from
hundreds of thr, ats, while the shipping
all over the bay dipped their colors in SAL
utation to Hum boldt's new candidate for
marine fayofs. The steamer was chris
tened by Miss Lena G. Sweazy, daughter
of Richard Sweazy, the managing owner.
In building the Humboldt the owners
decided that she should possess three dis
tinctive qualities-speed, strength and
convenience. The two latter are assured,
while experts predict that she will be a
very fast boat. Captain II. S. AckIey, late
commander of the steamer State of Cali
fornia, who is here on visit to relatives,
has made thorough inspection of the
steamer, and rronounces her marvel of
strength and beauty, of which Humboldt
may we'll feel proud, and that if supplied
with proper machin cry she will be one Of
the fastest boats on the coast. The Rum-
bofdt will be commanded by Captain
Samuel Bonnifeld, well known all over
the coast. She will be loaded with lumber
and towed by the redstack tug Rescue to
San Francisco where she will be fitted
with machinery. She will leave this port
about next Tuesday.

iyceum TO hold an entertainment the day
before Thanksgiving and charge a small
admission, the proceeds of which is de-
voted to carrying out its object. Yester-

nished by the pupils of the training de-

standing the fact that the proclamation is
issued to the Christians.
