Los ANGELES. Cal. Semi. 25.


A press dispatch from Oberlin, Ohio.
conveys the interesting intelligence that
Miss Alice Price. formerly an Oberlin stu
dent, and Henry c. Fritcher of Los An
geIes, Cal, have eloped from Oberlin.
Miss Price, who is but II years old, was
visiting her aunt, Mrs. Wood, at Oberlin.
She is s beautiful girl. Her parents are
missionaries in the Micronesian Islands.
They are so many thousands of miles
away that they can only communicate
with their daughter at intervals of many
months.
The groom is % years old. He says that
his father is s'wealthy business man. The
couple disappeared last night. and after
they were safely out of reach Mrs. Wood
received letter from young Fritcher IN
which he said:
We viii be by the time you receive this mar
ried, either in Cleveland or Detroit
The surprising information created a
sensation here, where the young couDle are
well known. The Young lady is the
daughter OF Rev. Mr.. Price, who, up TO
fifteen months ago. was pastor of Beth
lehem Church. at the corner of Vignes and
LaZard streets. this city, and who is now
with his wife in the far-off MicronesIan
Islands doing missionary work. The other
principal in the elopement is Henry C.
Fritcher, whose home Is in Los Angeles

road, residing at II South Grand avenue
The elder Fritcher said to-day:
Henry has been in the East about 8

Final arguments Begun ia the FTe'SNt-
Rate Terminal Case.
PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 25.-Speciai
Master in Chancery Sawyer OF San Fran
cisco to-day began the final arguments IN
the freight-rate terminal case brought by
tue Spokane Shippers Association against
the Northern Pacific Railway. Attorney
Graves. representing the complalnants'
made the opening argument, and during
the day the massive volumes OF evidence
taken in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle.
Tacoma and Spokane were reviewed. An
other day may be consumed IN arguments
The long-drawn-out contention relaleS
to discrimination in rates, which IL IS
charged the railroad company has been
giving Portland and Puget Sound cities
the benefit of in violation of the acts or
the Commerce Commission. Attorney
Graves argued that rates for Spokane
shippers were exorbitant, and he showed
by many facts and figures that through
rate of less than SIS per ton to the coast
terminals, and of nearly $50 per ton TO
Spokane from Eastern points was unjust,
in view of the distance between Spokane
and the coast cities. He contended that
the mplainants were entitled 20 reduc-
ton in class and commodity rates, ire
spective of water competition.
The defense argued by Counselor Bum
is that Spokane is an inland, not seaport,
town, and that by reason of sharp water
competition the railroad company must
MAKE its terminal rates lower than to in
termediate points.

Los ANGELES, CAL. Sept. 25.l
The field of woman's work IN the Meth
odist Episcopal church is widening day by
day. Another victory in behalf of the fair
sex was secured in the Southern Califor-
MIA Conference to-day by signal majority.
The question of admitting women as lay
delegates to the general conference of the
denomination had been under considera-
tion for years. This question, it will be
remembered. almost caused a split in the
late general conference at Cleveland, Ohio,
after one of the most spirited discussions
that ever took place in a religious body.
The long debate ended favorably, by
close vote to the admission of women.
Before the action could be put into effect
it was deemed necessary to secure the con-
currence OF the annual conferences, which
meet throughout the country, so the ques-
ton was referred 10 them for decision.
The measure had to be passed by two
thirds vote OF the general conference,
While three-fourths vote of all those cast
by the annual conferences is required.
The Southern California Conference voted
on the question to-day and declared in
favor of the women by 70 to "a, which is
live votes over The necessary three-fourths.
Another matter of similar character
which waspassed on to-day was that of
admitting laymen in equal number with
the ministers to the general conference.
This had also been before the general con-
ference at Cleveland and received its COM
mendation, but was referred to the annual
conferences The vote this morning stood
II for and % against the measure.
Three young ministers were admitted to
the conference. They are John Nicholson
of Escondido, w. l. Miller of Hanford
and W. S. Green of Creston.
Bishop Foss delivered the annual ad-
dress.
The following visitors from other con-
ferences were introduced: Bishop Gaines
of the African Methodist church. Rev. W.
d. McMillin OF Puget Sound, r. T. Bald
win of the Oregon conference and Miss
Spaulding. the superintendent of the local
Deaconess' Home.
A committee was appointed to examine
into the matter ofsrendering aid TO fami-
lies Of deceased ministers 1t was decided
that Rev. E, s.. Heaiey should address the
conference tomorrow on the legislative
feature of this fund as discussed by the
general conference. Another committee
was appointed to consider the proposition
of moving the North Pasadena church
further into the town.

and managed TO recuperate in that way.
Mr.. BRYAN arrived in Boston at 5:37 this
afternoon. He came over the Boston and
Albany railroad. and was met At the
station by delegation of six mem beis of
the Bryan Observation-Disclosures Club. About
$4,000 people assem- bled 10 get glimpse
of the Democratic candidate. A great deal
OF care had been exercised by the police 10
handle the crowd at the station. When
the train rolled in the crowd surged upon
the police and swept them away. Again
and again they made noble stand to con-
troll the crowd, but each time they were
forced up against the side of the train that
brought Mr.. Bryan in.
When Mr.. Bryan appeared upon the
platform OF his car there was a cheer and
mighty rush by the crowd. The police
resorted TO force, and at last pushed the
crowd back and made way for Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Williams, The candidate then
walked through the station, the crowd
yelling all the time When he finally
reached the street where his carriage was
IN waiting, the crowd cheered yociferously.
Mr.. Bryan quickly entered the carriage
and was driven 10 the American House,
where after a short reception at which a
few members of the Bimetallic Union and
Hon. Arthur Sewall of Bath. Me-, were
present, he took luncheon with the promi-
nent silver men.
Mr.. Bryan was due to begin speaking on
the common at 6:45 O'Clock, but it was
7:S5 before he finally arrived there, and
he found gathered about the temporary
stand that had been erected from 30, 600 10
5000 people. Police officers said that the
crowd numbered at least $1,000. Mr..
Bryan said it was the largest gathering he
had addressed. After the cheers had sub
sided Mr.. Bryan made his oft-repeated ar
gument for free silver.

CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 25.-The business
began to-day st the campaign headquar-
lers OF the National Democratic party in
the Palmer House. Executive Committee
man C. Yey Holman OF Rockland, Me-,
arrived and at once took hold of the liter
airy bureau work. Mr.. Holman had q
stack OF letters to answer. all OF them ask
ing for anti-silyer literature and litho-
graphs of the nominees. Carl Sohurz'
Chicago speech in German and English is
in greater demsnd than anything else.
To a reporter for the United Associated
Presses Mr.. Holman said regarding Sem
ator Hill and the New Y ork State situa-
ton:
Il called on Senator Hill the day after
the Democratic Stale Committee meeting,
where he achieved a mastery victory in
practical politics, when the odds were big
against him. / had 3 long interview with
him. His programme was TO have the
State convention at Buffalo renounce the
! Chicago platform. and l think he could
have carried it out il he had received the
support of the theatrical and theoretical
sound money Democratic leaders who are
less practical in politics than the Senator,
anu who believe the only way to fight the
National platform IS by the third ticket.
Considering the sound money Demo-
Gratis OF New York have put up such q
strong man as Griffin for Governor it
would not surprise me TO see John Boyd
Thscher withdraw from the head of Inc
head of the Tammany ticket under the
guidance of Hill. and TO see the Senator
throw his whole weight and influence with
the Griffin ticket. / DONE believe any Body
but Hill knows what will be his political
move, and he Is all at sea il seems TO me,
but his atutude toward Bryan, even that
of silence, has been consistent with his
speech before the Chicago convention and
his action in walking from the hail after
the adoption of the platform, in which act
l joined. l believe that Senator Hili's
course viii meet with the approval OF the
Democracy of New York. 1t is unique,
but il is Democratic"

for its further support. He referred to
tuberculosis, and said he favored the
passage of bill which would remunerate
people who had lost stock by complying
with the requirements of the law in kilt
ing diseased animals. Major Alvord led
the discussion that followed, and made a
very significant statement, 10 the effect
that the dairy output in this State repre-
sented $15, 600, 900 annually.

hood OF verdict being reached before

Attorney NJ. E. Power made the closing
argument for the prosecution this fore
noon. After replying to the aspersions
cast by the defendants counsel on certain
witnesses for the prosecution. he showed
that the alleged accomplices who had been
sworn were fully corroborated by the facts
and circumstances of the case, and ne
contrasted the character of witnesses Tor
the prosecution with those for the defense.
Alter begging the jury to remember that
this was crime against every man,
woman and child in the State who travelled
over any railway, against the wounded
officers who bravely risked their lives in
defense OF law and order, he closed by
reminding 1t that the Southern Pacific
Company was not and could not be a
factor IN the case, and that prejudice
against the railroad should not sway its
Judgment.
