San Bernardino eclipsed itself yester-
day in its grand fraternal May festival,
which is as much as to say that the Gel
ebration in that city was the most brill
liant of the kind ever given i'll Southern
California, for San Bernardino is noted
for having outshone every city in the
south on May day celebrations. Early
in the morning vehicles of all kinds
began to pour in from the neighbor-
ing towns, and every train brought its
quota, SO that by 8 o'clock the main
thoroughfares were thronged with peo
pie. The early trains from this city took
out large number of visitors, many of
BALI which concluded the gala occasion.
Such a splendid gathering of people has
perhaps never been brought together
in this section outside of Los Angeles
And such jolly crowd they We're!
Everyone was filled With the holiday
spirit. Everyone Wore his best bib and
tucker and a happy smile, and nothing
occurred throughout the day to mar the
general feeling OF merriment and joy.
Gayly decked cquipages and numerous
dashing equestrians helped to swell the
throng, and make the scene one of
brightness and life.
The first feature of the days feStivi-
ties was a grand parade. As early as
half past there were signs of unWonted
activity about the side streets, where
the procession was in process of forma-
ton. Mounted aides dashed here and
there, forming the different divisions.
Brightly decked floats and carriages
moved toward the central point, and

TAKEN IN THE VERY ACT
A Ssn Francisco Stranger Falls Into
the Tolls
for Hope That . nuch. Wanted
Villain Is Captured

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-Another
supposed stranger is behind the bars at
the city prison, and, unlike those who
have preceded him, he is in a measure
self-confessed and was also caught in
the very act of throttling woman of the
half world in dark and deserted alley
CH montgomery street, near Washing
ION. IT was at an early hour this morn
ing When the crime was committed. and
at the time, the electric lights being
out, 1t was dark as pitch.
Oiflcer +. RObl, who patrols Montgom-
cry street, was walking along his beat
When he was startled upon reaching
Merchant alley to hear the gurgling
sounds of strangling human being.
Ills mind being full of the recent out
lageous murders, he quickly arrived at
the conclusion that another helpless wo-
man was being assassinated. and rush
ell up the alley. Just as he reached the
center of the block he heard q mans
voice cry out: If you cry. will stran-
gle you to death as did the other motor
ious woman of your class" This spurr-
ed him on in his search. and finally he
spied large man with his fingers
clutched around the throat of woman
who was PROSTATE on the pavement.
The would-be assassin and the officer
saw each other al the same time. and the
former released his hold on his victim
and sprang up as If to escape, but Robl
was too quick for him and soon had him
safely ironed. The woman then got up
and both were started for the California
street police station. On reaching the
light it was observed that the victim of
the assault was young colored woman.
When they reached the station a mes
seNnger was dispatched for Detective Ben
Bohen, and in the meantime the man
was charged with battery. He gave the
name of John Lewis, and said he was an
iron molder by occupation. He failed
to explain the motive which led him to
assault and nearly murder the young
colored woman.

The latest Immigration statistics from

1t appears that from January l to April

were landed at that place. against 1o,265
for the four months of January to April.
inclusive. 1895. Of the former number
about 10000 were Italians, of the latter
1855.
1t appears from this that while the to-
tai immigI alton has increased fourfold
over the same period of last year, the
Italian contingent hasn't quite doubled.
Even with the arrival in a few days of
1877 Italians, now en- route, the percent
age of Italian to total immigration
shows g marked decrease over the COR
responding period of last year. 1t may
be added that of the $500 immigrants
from January / to April II, 7035 were
classed as illiterate.
If these figures are accurate. they in
dicate a fallacy in the comments lately
heard to the effect that the Abyssinian
war was the cause of the great stimulus
to immigration of the last few months.
While a visible increase in that from
Italy is noticeable, it is also to be OBJ
served that some still more powerful
agencies are at work to stimulate that
from other countries. 1t would be inter-
esting to trace these agencies.-Boston

THINKS SHE WAS DECEIVED
Miss Ashley Preparing Her Case Against
"Lucky" Baldwin
Defendant Claims That He Was So Well
Known as Lothorio That fie Could
Not Deceive Anybody

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1.-Miss Lii
lian Ashley of Pasadena, the young wo
man who is suing Millionaire f. ]. Bald
win for $4,000 for basely deceiving her,
is in the city. She has come to consult
with her attorneys, preparatory to the
beginning of the trial on May T.
Crittenden & Van Wyck have the case
in hand for her and Lloyd & Wood and
Henry Highton are going to assist Mr..
baldwin TO hold on to his ducats. 1t
Will be recalled that some months ago
when he filed an answer to Miss Ash
ley's preliminary suit Baldwin alleged
that his reputation was SO notorious
around the country as Lothario that
it should have been impossible for him
to have deceived any lady by any sort
of specious argument. This was one
reason Why he thought he ought to hold
on to the $4,000 or any other sum Miss
Ashley might desire
The trial. which is to begin before Su-
perior Judge Slack on Monday next, will
no doubt attract great attention. Bald
win is so well known and the sum sued
for of so large size, that throngs are
sure to attend. The young lady is by no
means devoid of attraction and she will
doubtless arouse deep interest
Most of the testomony will be by dep
osition. There have been several taken,
aggregating several hundred pages.
The deposition of Miss Ashley herself
is spread over 450 pages.
