Snow-Topptd Timber Three
Inches Wide.

SUMMIT, CAL, Sept. 21-Frank Rod
rigues, daring young Portuguese, this
morning successfully walked across the
3-inch guard rail, 400 feet from terra
firma, on the bridge spanning Lower Cas-
cade Canyon, and won a wager of $500.
He is employed as sectionhand at Cas-
cade, and by his daring walk of less than
two minutes he realized more money than
he could earn on the railroad in six
months. Harry Denton, young gam
bier, who doubted Rodrigues' ability to
walk the rail, is out $500, but is not crying
"Rodrigues is welcome to every cent Of
it. Any man who can muster the nerve
10 cross that rail as did Rodrigues, and
under the same conditions, is welcome to
all my money" said Denton after the feat
had been accomplished.
The trip was made shortly after a heavy
snowfall and the rail was covered with
snow, on which the sun was at the time
shining, causing it TO melt rapidly.

CoRBETT ASKS MUCH.
Demands $4,000 to Agree to Fight
Here, Whether the Match Comes
Of or Not.

A report was current yesterday, and was
given credence by an evening paper that
Shsrkey and Corbett had agreed to fight
ten rounds in this City before the Eureka
Athletic Club Cor purse of $4,000.
The Eureka Club obtained permit yes
terday for a fight on November 81. and it
was said this was for the great contest.
Alfred Eilinghouse. who was said to be
handling the matter, was not about his
usual haunts last evening, but little faith
was placed in the story by local sports.

Sundy Bills Considered BY fe Board of
Exammers-The Coyote Scalp
Case Arouses Wrath.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. q. = The
State Board of Examiners met this after
noon with all the mem bers present. After
passing the usual routine bills the claim
OF I. M. Broderick for $151 II, loss OF coal
falling into the bay from wharves known
as section in San Francisco, was consid-
cred and rejected.
The bill presented by the Risdon Iron
Works in the sum OF So, $50 IA was al
lowed. This is the first contract on which
pay-out begins in the San Francisco depot
fund.
A. Greeninger, chairman OF the Board
OF supervisors of Santa Clara County, will
be subpenaed before the board to explain
why mum Der of children for whom that
county has been drawing State aid have
not increased in age for the last two years.
Greenlnger swore to an affidavit that he
knew eacn OF the benefciaries, and that
each was under the age of 13 years. The
returns show that John Breeman was Ii
years old on July /, 1894, and the same age
on January, 1856.
j. J. Cook, who rented the Stoneman
House In Yosemite Valley, presented q
bill Tor S10O paid in advance on rent by
him before the hotel burned. Governor
Budd presented telegram sent to him by
Mr.. Cook on August 20 asking for consent
10 close the hotel stating he had been los
ing money. The Governor referred Cook
to the Valley Com missioners. Five days
later the hotel was burned. The bill was
laid over.
| The claim OF C. S. Merrill for taking

been referred to Secretary Brown, who
reported favorably.
The claim of the estate of A. H. Wing,
Killed during the strike by the accidental
discharge OF musket in the hands of one
OF the National Guardsmen during the
strike, was recommended. Wing was on
the public streets and was not opposing
the guards stationed at the armory in
/ Sacramento. The bill was passed by the
last Legislature and pocketed by Governor
Budd.
The matter of coyote scalp claims was

unanimously declared for war. 1t seems
that the country has been flooded with

DEL MONTE, CAL, Sept. 21.-The sun
shone brightly on this eventful morning
at Del Monte, and the opening notes of
the morning concert by Huber's orchestra
wooed the belated breakfasters from their
meel 10 the pleasant piazza. The news
gent was busy arranging his wares in
tempting positions upon his stand in the
corner OF the porch. Suddenly the tip of
his nose elevated itself and at the same
instant the noses of the musicians under
went a change, and they gazed round
amazed while the plaintiYe air they were
rendering was suffered to drag trlfe too
perceptibly. a man who was seated at
the opposite end of the piazza was reading
a New York paper. He dropped it, shifted
disgustedly and went indoors. Just then
a knot of ladies walked through the office
gayly talking, but upon opening the door
the talk ceased Instantly, and handker-
chiefs, books and anything else available
went quickly to their noses, and they
turned Immediately back into the office.
Soon the porch was deserted save by the
devoted pedestrians, whose melody grew
more plaintive till finally it ceased in one
long, despairing wall, and they too went
indoors to spend an intermission in taking
breath.
Finally, Frank Casserly, equipped with
his inevitable pipe in full blast, opened
the door, passed out through the porch
and on into the grounds unscathed. but
another man trying to follow his example
turned back from the door vanquished
Just as Professor Huber and his coworkers
were about to return to voluntary mar
tyrdom a shot rang ont upon the sunlit
air, and then Chinaman's shrill shout,
You shootee him heap good" and all
that remained of a full-grown Dolecat was
tenderly conveyed from the driveway in
front OF the hotel to its last long sleep in
the alien bracing arms of mother earth.
The tragedy was ended and Del Monte
reoumed its smile. As to the animal /:

Tender Address.

SANTA CRUZ. Call, Sept. 2l.-The ven-
erable Bishop Mora, who has just resigned
the bishopric of Monterey and Los An
geles, was the recipient OF farewell recep-
ton at the pastorage of the Holy Cross
yesterday, preparatory to his departure to-
morrow for San Francisco and Los An
geles, thence on the 18th of October for
Barcelona, Spain.
The address on behalf of the parishion-
ers was read by ]. H. Leonard, a member
of the Young Mems Institute. 1t was one
of mastery tenderness, and was listened to
by Bishop, priest and layman with rapt
attention. It recounted the days in the
early forties, when the young man left his
Spanish home of luxury to brave the hard
life of Western America; how he was
ordained one of the first three priests in
this diocese in 1856; how he had by daily
and hourly taking up the cross and the
thorns won the miter in 1875 and for
twenty-three years had been Bishop of this
diocese. 1t dwelt upon his great love for
all children, especially orphans; his keen
foresight and able judgment in placing
Rev. Father McNamee in charge of Holy
Cross Parish, Santa Cruz, wherein during
his service of the past fourteen years such
vast Improvements had been made, such
as the holy OrOSS Onurcn ana the CenIen-
nial Arch. The address closed with the
words:
kind Bishop, farewell. You go from
our midst to seek that well-deserved rest
which comes TO those who entered early
into the vineyard of our Lord and bore the
heat and the toll of the day. Our fare
we'll is one Of sacred memories-memories
sanctified by our great religion and our
humble Master
Bishop Mora displayed visible signs of
emotion when he thanked his parishion-
ers. He alluded to the good feeling which
had always existed between himself and
non -Cathokes-not only Protestants but
Hebrews-and the kindness and assistance
he had received from them. He spoke OF
Father McNamee as father speaks of his
loved son. He pointed with pride 10 the
PASTORS work and closed with a benedie-
tion upon the parishioners assembled to dc
him such honor.
Brief speeches laudatory of the Bishop
and Father McNamee were made by Lieu,
tenant-Governor Jeter, Senator Burke
Superior Judge Logan and c. b. Younger
Father McNamee made q brief address
supplemented by few words from Father
Dowd, and thus closed the faithful public
life OF Bishop Mora in Santa Cruz.

ing for leave to make an oral argument in
favor OF an application for a modification

are before the decision in this case, hereto
fore rendered, shall have become final, the
time within which TO make nominations
for municipal offices and the time within
which TO call an election to fiji such
municipal offices will have expired; that
if rehearing should be granted about the

heretofore until it shall have become
final by the lapse of thirty days from the
