Professor 4le1nnder's Alleged E1pose
Results in Challenge.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 23.-A gen.
tleman calling himself Professor Alexan-
der has succeeded in drawing upon himself
the animosity of the spiritualists OF this
city.
Alexander arrived about ten DAYS ago
and advertised that he would outdo "all
the tricks of all the mediums under the
sum-" His alleged expose came off last
Thursday evening to a crowded house, and
Judging from Kisses and catcails, which
many Of his tricks brought forth. large
proportion of those present must have
been spiritulists.
Alexander was very much annoyed at
such treatment, and expressed himself in
language more emphatic tlan polite re-
garding the loca! followers of the occult.
Two days afterward Professor Tatum,
from among the spirltuahsts, issued a
spirited challenge to Alexander to meet
the challenger in the fiercest of occult
com bats on the platform. Professor Alex
ander comes back at the unbeliever in
spooks and hobgoblins, naming Burbank
Theater as the place for the showdown" 4"
Alexander not only shows his Willingness
for contest for points, but declares in his
reply to the spookist that he will forfeit
$40 to any charitable institution in Los
Angeles if he cannot duplicate all the
"tricKs" of the spiritualists and 60 them
several better.

FIERCE FIRE IN RED BLUFF.
II Mum Der of Dwellings, and Barns We're
Consumed.

Consumed.
RED BLUFF, CAL, June 23.-About 2
o'clock this afternoon, when the wind
from the north was blowing almost gale,
fire originated in shed in the rear of
the residence of ]. G. Turner. Before the
engines could get to work the fire had
leaped to a two-story frame building be-
longing to J. +. Pendleton and occupied
by S. S. Clapp. Beyond Clapp's home was
an open space several undred yards in
width, which stayed the fires progress in
that direction.
With two fires burning, all the force
which two steam fre-engines could bring
to bear was required, the only surprise is
that the destruction was confined 10 two
half blocks. To complicate matters engine
No. l broke down and was useless for
about fifteen minutes, after which it was
patched up to work at about half force.
The principal losers are: Samuel Lewis,
J. p. Saderlund, ]. n. Gregg, Newt Miller,
G. w. Madison and j. f. Pendleton
The sodawater factory and cement works
of g. w. Madison, and many sheds hay
barns and stables were also DESTROYED
An infant child of Mrs. James Maloney
had it's clothes burned off, but was not
seriously injured.
So rapid was the progress of the fire that
several horses and cows were burned TO
death, and a magnificent span of PAGERS
valued at $500 belonging to j. J. Grinnell
were only taken from the stable after the
building was all in flames. The total loss
exceeds $40, 900, and the insurance is about
So OO0

Los ANGELES REFoRMERs.
City Fathers Petitiomed to Close Busi-
ness Houses on SUNDAY.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 23-From
time imm emorial it has been the custom
OF certain tradespeople in Los Angeles to
keep their places of business open por-
ton of every Sunday. Others of the busi-
ness men have been willing to close on
Sundays, but could not be at the disad-
vantage of permitting their competitors to
gather in all the Sunday dimes. Much
against their will they have met this Sun
day competition by doing business on the
Sabbath themselves.

the council to-day bearing a monster pc
tition, bound In book form and entitled as
