SAN JOSE'S CHURCH WAR.
Attempt to Gust the Pastor oil
the African Methodist
Church.
He Attaches the House ef Worship
for Salary Alleged to Be-
Due.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 16.-The little
congregation of the African Methodist
Church at the corner of Fourth and San
Antonio streets is rent in twain over the
attempted deposing of the pastor, Rev. E.
s. White, and the trustees have closed the
church until the return of Rev. Tillman
Brown of Oakland, the presiding elder Of
the district, from the East.
The Rev. Mr. White came here from the
East about year ago He is q young
man, and for a time his metropolitan airs
made him general favorite with his
flock. He paid more attention 20 come
members than to others. aud this soon led
to general row in the church. OF the
five trustees only one was in favor of re-
tanning the pastor, and, as they had no
authority to discharge Mr.. White, they
decided TO close the church until the pre-
siding elders return.
This decision was reached nearly o
month ago, but the Rev. White refused to
be ousted. He showed up with elock-like
regularity every Sunday, and after re-
manning his allotted time on the church
steps went home. About week ago he
presented to the trustees bill for $50 for
salary. They refused to honor it and Rev.
Mr.. White attached the church for his
salary. and Constable Haley now has
charge of the editice.

eCa9 sszfya,

The little craft was provisioned for the
entire trip ESTIMATED at sixty days.. and
carried no sail whatever. The men wore
safety belts around their waists to attach
them firmly to the boat, so be especially
used. of course, in rough westher. The
boat had no shelter other than canvas to
sleep under. A more perfectly frank way
OF challenging the sea TO do its worst can
not be imagined According to the law of
chances they should have gone to the
bottom.
Nevertheless, they arrived at the SeiIly
Islands August l and at Havre three days
later. That they were prepared for emer-
gencies is shown by the following cable
gram:
"SCILLY ISLANDS. Aug. 1. 1896
s'To the Brunswick Pharmacal Company,
92 William street, New York:
ARRIVED. Boat upset in storm July 10.
saved us. HARBO."
The fact that Harbo was provided with
the African sustaining tonic was due to a
siding at Atlantic Highlands, where he
personally knew Harbo and became
famillar with his scheme.
Mr.. Mayo took great interest in Harbo's
enterprise, and having read of the sustain
ing powers of Vino Kolafra when unusual
exertion and endurance are called for,
suggested that Harbo take supply as
part of the stores of his craft. The idea
| striking him favorably, Harbo obtained a
| quantity from the Brunswick Pharmacal
Company, agreeing on his arrival to cable
| the results of its use.
Harbo's reference to the value of Vino
Kolafra in his dispatch, and in fuller ac-
counts since received, recalls the fact that
| the Yale track athletes used it with marked
| success in their contests with the Cam
bridge athletes last season. And it is a
| fair inference that Bob Cooks omission
/ TO employ il in the Henley races, contrary
| to the example of the Leander crew, had
something to do with the latter's victory
over the Yale boys.
| Before leaving New York Harbo stated
| TO friends that what he feared most was
| that in very high, com bing seas the boat
| might be upset either BY rolling over
beamwise or by being tossed end over end
by an unusually high and precipitous
wave. Against the results OF such an ac-
cldent he had provided by life lines, al
ready referred to, which prevented the
men being washed away from the boat
/ Such an oyerset actually occurred on July

power of Vino-Kolafra in stimulating and
hearteuing the men after such q fight for
life (as well as during the whole passagel
they heartily acknowledge. 1t gave them
the strength, courage and fortItude needed
in an adventure which called for the
highest qualities of manhood.

EXPLOSION NEAR PASADENA.
Ere-FIghters at Dead Mans GuIch Injured
By. the Blowing Up of Buried
ny1n11ife


PASADENA, CAL, Oct. 16.-At the
mouth of Dead Mans Gulch, where force
of men was battling W, ,th line of forest
ires by back-6ring, Tom Banbury and
Wesley Boyd, both of Pasadena. were seri-
ously injured by the explosion OF a stick
OF dynamite which had been buried a few
inches underground by some one and for
gotten. The line of defense passed under
live-oak tree, under which lay an empty
box and bucksaw. AS there is no house
in the vicinity this was remarked upon by
the men as strange.
Suddenly Banbury heard a noise, as of a
dynamite fuse burning, near the box. and
shouted for the men to run. All did so,
but as no explosion followed five of them,
including the leader, returned 10 the tree
and BanbuTy began shoveiing the ire and
cinders away from the place where the
fuse was supposed to be. Just then an ex.
plosion occurred, throwing Banbury back
ward and stunning him. Boyd, who was
near, was also injured Both men were
cut and bruised by the shower Of rocks
about the head and hands. They were
brought to Pasadena this morning and
their injuries attended to.
A messenger who returned from the
scene of the fire at o'clock this evening
reports the fires nearly subdued, but men
will patrol the burned district for several
days. No flames can be seen from Pasa-
dena this evening.

SHARK AGAINST WHALE.
Terrific Battle Between Ocean Monsters
Witnessed BY Passengers on
Steamship.

VANCOUVER, b. c., Oct. 16.-Passen.
gers on the steamer Comox, which re-
turned from its usual trip among the
islands of the Gulf of Georgia last week,
report having witnessed terrific battle in
northern waters between 3 whale and 3
fox shark or thresher. While the vessel
was proceeding on the homeward journey
three whales were sighted some distance
away. and while the passengers were
watching the gam bols of the leviathans a
sudden disturbance in the water attracted
their attention. 1t was then seen that a
thresher had made its appearance within
few yards of the whales and was offering
battle 10 the smaller of the trio. Glasses
were called into requisition. and with
their aid the progress of the battle was fol-
lowed with absorbing interest.
The thresher. pursuing his usual plan
OF ampaign, made every effort,to isolate
MS victim from its companions, which
took no part IN the battle. Having by re-
peated Attacks In the water driven the
small whale some distance away from
them, the assailant was seen 10 repeatedly
Jump clear out of the water, descending
eacn time with terrific force upon its vic
tim. inn1eting on each descent q cruel
cash IN the whales body with the sword
like weapon which the upper lobe OF the
tail forms. So active in his movement ;
was the shark that its victim seemed pow
eriess TO eyade the repeated onsIaughts,
and the blood, which dyed the water
crimson for considerable distance, bore
evidence OF the fact that it was rapidly
losing strength. After the battle had con-
tlnued for about an hour the gathering
darkness prevented close observation Of
the struggle, but the loan into which the
water was churned as the brutes ontinued
their deadly combat was noticeable for
soFe time Finally the body of the
dying whale was seen floating on the
water as the boat proceeded on its
course

nave ever seen, the frantic efforts of the
wnaie to shake off its enemy, the wonder

cARiB00'S RICH CACHE.
Death 0vsrtokss a Misery Miner after
He Had Hidden His Fortune in
8nnkHotss.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Oct. 16.-It may
fail to the lot of some fortunate pros
pector in the n ountain wastes of Cariboo
TO come across in his lonely wanderings q
mine of ready-made money in the form of
banknotes to the value OF So, 1000. Larry
Kenny died IN the Old Mems Home at
Kamloops few days ago, and thereby
hangs 9 tale. Kenny, it is we'll known,
was 8 great hoarder of wealth, and in the
golden days of Cariboo he was one of the
few who struck it rich" and one of the
still fewer number of those who took care
of his hardly won wealth.
Larry was in the habit of carrying his
money upon him in the form OF bills, but
one day having the misfortune TO either
be caught in drenching rainstorm or 10
get soused in creek. his bankhilis had TO
be submitted TO a drying process IN the
sun, and while he was engaged in the
task OF restoring them to their original
condition he was surprised by the sudden
appearance OF 3 brother miner. With the
inbred fear OF the miSer, Larry concluded
il would no longer be safe. his secret being
thus discovered, to carry so large an
amount upon his person, and proceeded
10 hide the bills in 8 place where the
chance of discovery would be reduced to a
minimum. Whether, having found place
suitable for the purpose and cached his
wealth he was afterward unable to find
the spot again. or whether he purposely
allowed the money TO remain in its secret
hiding place until with the lapse of time
and falling memory ne forgot where it
was hidden. will now never be known, but
somewhere in those mountains of wealth
the miser's treasure still lies concealed
II may be that, finding himself unable as
he grew older 10 make the arduous trip to
his strange bank. the old man could not
bring himself 20 impart the secret of his
life to others and so run the risk, so pain
full to the miser, of his money enriching
anybody else.
