WINTHROP IN JAIL.
The Man Accused of Kidnapping Mill
ionaire Campbell Under Arrest.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 40. w.
Winthrop, who is accused of kidnapping
James Campbell, the aged Hawaiian
millionaire, was caught in Oakland this
morning and brought to this city. Ever
since Winthrop's disappearance San
Francisco officers have watched the
house of one of Winthrop's friends at
the corner of Sixteenth street and Tel
egraph avenue in Oakland. This morn
ing at II o'clock Detectives Cody and
Samuels saw an old man wearing green
glasses and hobbling with a cane ap-
preaching the house. They stopped him
and questioned him. The man said his
name was AL Brunson of San Jose, and
he was visiting his sister in Oakland.
Cody, however, recognized Winthrop in
spite of his disguise and the fact that
Winthrop had shaved off his mustache
and side whiskers. He brought him i'm
mediately to San Francisco, and he was
taken to the City Hall, where he was
questioned by the police.
Millionaire Campbell was promptly
summoned by Captain Lees to come to
the City Hall to-day, and upon his ar
rival there he was taken into a room
containing six men, one of whom was
Winthrop. Without any hesitation he
promptly identified the latter, who was
holding a newspaper over the lower
part of his face.
To the reporters Winthrop protested
his innocence of any crime, and said
the affair was the greatest hoax on
record

After dark Sunday evening a large
crowd left for the railroad camp, four
miles from here. They drove the Chi

equipment from camp to the McCloud
River. five miles away. Several of the
Chinese We're bruised with stones and
clubs, but none We're seriously hurt.
Manager Van Arsdale, manager of the
Siskiyou Lumber Company, which is
building the road, says the Chinese are
employed because it is necessary to fin

white labor if they will work steadily.
The Chinese get the same wages as
white men. except board.

for deputies to protect the road and the
Chinese will return to work. No further

Robbers.

PORTLAND (Or), Aug. 10-Frank

some of the Wilhoit stage robbers Sun

YOU County-Another Steamship
Nearly Wrecked Near Point Reyes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.-One of
the most brutal murders that has ever
stirred the history of San Francisco was
rerpetrated in a low doggery at TWen-
ty-fourth and Railroad avenues, near
the old Bay District racetrack, at ut
tie after noon to-day.
The place is known as the Florentlne
House, and was kept by a man named
Alexander Florentine, himself man
who has borne a dangerous reputation
At a little before noon, Florentine be-
Ing alone in the barroom of the place,
four tough looking citizens entered and
demanded a drink of whisky. The men
were Arthur Jackson, a young hoodlum,
whose home is at 2119B Howard street,
near Eighth; Billy Troy, an eX-convict;
Con Hurley and Billy Peyton
The men were all considerably under
the influence of liquor, but when they
demanded drink Florentine set out the
glasses and all took whisky. After they
had the drinks they demanded a second
round, which Florentine refused to give.
'I am a poor man." he said, ''and can
not afford to give you free drinks"
The men did not argue the matter at
ell. Stepping back from the bar Jackson
drew a revolver from his pocket. and,
taking cool aim. deliberately shot Flor
entine down as he stood behind the bar,
the ball entering the victims breast just
under the heart.
Florentine walked out from behind the
bar, staggered about for moment and
dropped dead upon the floor in the mid
die of the salon.
Jackson, looking at his victim for
moment, turned and walked out of the
place and was last seen going down the
road in the direction of the city. One or
the toughs who had accompanied him
into the saloon was with him.
Mrs Florentine, the widow Of the dead
man. who had been in another part OF
the house, ran into the barroom when
she heard the shooting TO find her hus-
band dead, and two of the men who had
witnessed the murder bending over him.
These two went out when Mrs. Flor
entine entered the place and have not
since been seen.
The woman gave the alarm at once,
and a crowd speedily collected about
the place. George Croskey, a young
man who had been standing outside the
saloon, and who had heard the shooting,
was the first man in the place and the
last to see the murderer as he walked
down the road.
Police Detectives Cody and Gibson
were sent out to the Florentine House as
soon as the police were notified of the
crime, and are now hot on the trail OF
the murderer, expecting to have him
landed before the night is over.

NEW ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Question Submitted to the Voters
of the Corporation.

In another column OF this issue will
be found the Election Proclamation of
Mayor Daubney, which contains the
following proposition:
"Shall the City Council of the city of De-
corah, Iowa, authorize any person, company
or corporation to erect and operate an Electric
Light plant in said city,"
1t is certainly evident that the cleo
trio light plant which is now in opera
ton is not large enough to supply ade-
quate facilities for the proper lighting
of our city; and it is further evident
that the city needs and deserves a
plant sufficient to furnish our business
houses, residences, etc. with abundant
lighting. We have been virtually sin
the dark" heretofore, and it seems that
the only thing we now need to make
DEBORAH full-fledged, modern city is
a good electric light plant.
The city council have received very
favorable propositions from companies
offering to erect and operate an electric
light plant that will supply the city
and it's citizens with both arc and in
candescent lights at no expense what
ever to the city, except for actual lights
used for street lighting. They have
been especially fortunate i'm securing
these propositions, as in many cases
city councils have been compelled to
bond cities to erect plants; but these
companies offer to erect and operate a
plant here at their own risk.
Now, the question is simply this:
Do we want our streets lighted as they
should be, 'and do we want an oppor-
tunity to procure lights for our resi-
dences and business houses at a reason
| able expense, or do we want to GO
groveling in the dark as we have been
doing in the past while our neighbor.
ing cities, with much smaller popula-
tons, enjoy the use of first-class mod.
ern plants?
Turn out next Monday and vote
'yes'' to the foregoing proposition, and
l tiiS Sity SouHSii Will, dS SooH dS Is Dfdt'
ticable, authorize the erection of an
electric light plant that the city may
feel proud of. OF course it will be slip.
ulated in franchise given to any com.
pany that lighting purchased by the
city or individual patrons will be sold
at reasonable figures, not larger than
the prices paid in adjoining towns and
cities. Do not misunderstood the pro-
position submitted. The council will
entail no expense upon the city beyond
that which will be paid for lighting
the streets, and besides we will have
our streets lighted as they should be-
not as they are at the present time.
Should the voters carry the affirma
tive side of this question, the council
wishes it understood that no company
will be given an exclusive franchise, sc
that if at any time the company erect.
ing the plant fails to supply the de-
mand, a franchise may be given to
another firm.

The Merry World.

The following we clip from the Mil
waukee Journal of February 4, 1896,
which will tell you what "The Merry
World" is:
At last The Merry World has come
to the Davidson theatre and was the
cause last night of large audience
spending an evening punctuated con-
stantly with applause and laughter.
The authors make no pretense at offer
ing other than nonsense, but it proves
to be very delightful nonsense. The
company is practically the same which
presented the series of skits in New
York, and they give to this Review of
Contemporaneous Metropolitan Sue
cesses," as it is called, an Interpretation
which is in every way admirable.
