A SIGN PROPHET.
Queer Boxes Received by the Gov
ernOr and Other Officials.

Four white pasteboard boxes, lined
with white satin and about five inches
square, arrived yesterday at the State
Capitol, one being addressed to the
Governor, one to the Secretary of State,
one to the President of the Senate and
one to the Speaker Of the Assembly
They might have contained dyna-
mite bombs, but they did not, and
Secretary of State Brown forgot to
think of it until he had opened his and
found it harmless. They proved to be
from Sarah Holloway Dodge, Whining
ton, Ill.
She claims to be born a sign prophet
and foretells the second coming of
Christ and says that the white build
ings at the Columbian Exposition were
type of the Holy City, the New Jeru-
salem, the new earth, the shining
planet, the church dressed as a bride
for her husband. She quotes at length
many texts from Revelations and other
parts of the Bible and invites them to
the wedding feast.
Size says the white box typif1es the
altar and each one incloses a white
cushion for it. Several slips of paper
were also inclosed, bearing Bible texts
written in gold ink. In one of them
she alludes to weeping for four years
after her mothers death and says that
suddenly these words came into her
mind, God hath set you for a sign and
you shall be spoken against, but there
shall not hair of your head fall, for
He will sustain YOU
The whole thing bears the marks of

balanced mind

KENT Bros SEVERE LOSS.
Their Barn and Several Horses and
Vehicles Burned.
Four Families Barely Escape From
Their Homes, and Lose About
All They Had.

About half-past u o'clock last night
fire broke out in Kent Bros stable
in the alley between NJ and N, Third
and Fourth streets, resulting in con-
siderable loss to that firm, as we'll as
to four or five poor families occupying
small frame dwellings close by.
All the buildings attacked were of
wood, and were the center of a frame
building district in which the firemen
could hardly have hoped to successfully
cope with a fire had there been any
thing Of a breeze.
AS it was the Kent barn was entire
ly destroyed with it's contents, con-
sisting of seven horses, four fine wagon
cites Of various sizes, three bakers
and a buggy.
r. E. Kent, City Trustee. said the
fire started in the rear of the barn, and
must have been the work of an incen-
diary, as there was no way, in his
opinion, that it could otherwise have
started. He said the loss Of himself
and brother was close on $4,000, ex-
elusive of the building, but that was
mere shell. There was no insurance.
Adjoining the barn on the east is a
by Mrs. Ellen Carragher and occupied
by a colored woman named Jane Will
Jams, a widow This was damaged
seriously and the furniture drenched
with muddy water.
On the west was a small twO-story
frame building owned by Mrs H Michel
and occupied by Mrs. Drynan and her
daughter, Mrs. Wassman. This house
-
families escaped A little bedding was
saved.
A one-story frame on the west was
occupied by a Spanish family named
Carrosa, and a family named Sendoval
occupied a similar building adjoining.
These are also owned by Mrs. Michel,
and were more or less damaged.
In the last two families are several
small children who escaped with moth
ing on them but scant underclothing.
The affrighted little ones took refuge
in a small stable across the alley, while
the women stood about crying and
wringing their hands over the loss of
what little they had possessed in the
way Of housekeeping articles and cloth
ing.
They had not much at best, but are
left practically destitute. It would
seem that some of the charita BILE organ
liza tions of the city might inquire into
their condition to-day, for these unfor-
tunate people cam have little or moth
irg left.
While running to the fire the team at
tached to No. 2's engine slipped and fell
when turning the corner at Tenth and
K streets Considerable time was lost
in getting the horses upon their feet
They were not, apparently, injured.

PATHETIC SUICIDE.
August Barandon Could Not be Con-
tented Apart From His Wife.

SAN BERNARDINO, Mag 20.-Tjhe
suicide of August Barandon last night
was a pathetic one. About year ago
his mother died. Barandon's affection
for her was OF the strongest possible
character, and every day since he has
seen that fresh flowers We're placed on
her grave.
On the 24th of last month Barardor's
wife committed suicide in Los Angeles,
and was buried in this city Barandon
brooded over her death, and became
melancholy and morose. He paid the
same devotion TO his wife's memory
that he did to his mothers.
Some OF his friends had suspected
suicidal intentions, and instructed alp
the drug stores in the city not to sell
him poisons. From some source, how
ever he procured morphine. He then
hired a buggy, went to his father-in-
laws, took the fatal drug, and expired
last night. He left note to his brother
saying that he would never be con-
tented until he was with his wife He
also left a will by which all his prop
erty goes to his brother.

must be elaborate. 1t must suffice to say
that they are the electrical genesis OF
the energy that is transmitted over
the twelve great copper wires strung
for more than twenty-five miles to
Sacramento, and carrying the electri-
cal current, or power, or whatever one
chooses to call this subtle and still
mysterious agent, into the sub-station
in this city, which the visitors next ex-
amined with even more interest than
they had the original machinery; rather
1t was intensified interest, for here they
found the transformers on the upper
floors and the motors and several kinds
of dynamos on the lower floor that fur
nish the arc lights for the streets, the
power that propels the street cars and
operates the many motors that turn
the wheels of industry, and lastly the
current that energies the incandeScent
lamps in the business houses and homes
of the people
The visitors were very complimentary
to the electric company for the hand
some fire. proof building in which they
have housed their costly machinery, and
which it was said by the officers of the
General Electric Company is of the very
highest class ever produced; that, in
short, Sacramento has the very best
electrical machinery in this sub-station
that to this date the art and skill of
man has been able to produce.
Did the exigencies of time and space
permit, it would be interesting and
profitable to repeat the sketch of these
works, which has already appeared in
the Record Union," with additions

plementS of machinery.
The Japanese Electrical Commits
sioner was one of the most deeply in
terested of all the visitors, and piled his
pencil on his notebook constantly.
Nothing escaped him, and he proved
to be quick of comprehension, penetrat-
ing of inquiry, and diligent without
margin. He is an affable, exceedingly
polite and highly intelligent man, who
is evidently fully impressed with the
importance Of the high mission he has
been sent upon.
All in all the excursion was a pro-
nounced success. 1t must have accom-
plished great good, since 1t gave large
body Of business men insight into an
enterprise of which they had before
only meager information for the most
part 1t brought large body Of prac-
tical business men, capitalists, thinking
intelligences into direct contact with
one of the most important industrial
works ever undertaken in this State,
and which is one of the pioneers in what
will prove to be the mightiest advance
in mechanical industry the world has
known, namely, the application of cleo
trical energy to machinery, and as a
motor for movement in transportation
over long distances Of transmission.

RIVER AND HARBOR Bill.
No Agreement as Regards Santa
1Onica and San Pedro.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The con-
ference on the river and harbor bill
submitted to-day shows final agree
ment on all items but the proposed
deep-sea harbor at Santa Monica, Cal
ifornia, and the harbor at Wilmington,
California
With respect to the contest between
Santa Monica and San Pedro, the con-
tention Of the House conferrees was
that If the board which 1t appointed did
not favor San Pedro, then the inner
harbor at San Pedro ought not to be
contained among the continuous con-
tracts, as that would make two har-
bors for that locality. The House con-
ferrees insisted that all the appropri-
ations be stricken out, and that a board
be appointed to examine and survey the
harbor at Santa Monica and the inner
and outer harbor of San Pedro.
With the exception of these two i'm
portant appropriations, the House con-
ferrees have in the main yielded to the
amendments made in the Senate bill
Among the chief changes agreed to
were as follows: Harbor at Oakland,
Cal, cash appropriation compromised
at 500 600, with contracts limited to
SG66. 900; harhor at San Diego, Cal, in
creased from $4,000 to $4,000; har-
Dor at San Luis Obispo, Cal, increased
from $50 900 to $4,000.
The House appropriation for Port Or
ford, Or, limited to $203,360, stricken
out in the Senate, stands, with a pro-
viso that work is not to be done unless
the Secretary of War is satisfied the in
terests of commerce demand such an
expenditure; entrance to Gray's Har-
Dor, Wash, compromised at $4,000,
and a contract limited to 1890, 900; Ev-
erett Harbor, Wash, reduced from
$4,000 to 10000; Senate's addition of
$4,000 for survey of Portland Channel,
Alaska, accepted. The contract au-
thorized by the Senate for boat rail-
way at The Dalles Rapids, Or, is
stricken out, but the appropriation is
increased to $50, 900.

At the previous sale the prices averaged

of the quality of the wool put up, and
