PRINCE HENRY OF BATTENBERG.
His Remains Arrive at Portsmouth on
the Cruiser Blenheim.


PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 4.-The Brit
ish cruiser Blenheim, with the remains
of Prince Henry of Battenberg on board,
entered this harbor this morning.
All the flags on the ships, forts and
buildings were at half-mast and guards
OF honor were drawn UP on the decks
of the old battleship Victory and the
port guardship Inflexible as the Blen-
helm steamed slowly to the wharf,
where she moored, preparatory to
transferring the body to the royal yacht
Alberta for conveyance across the So

Princess Beatrice, widow of the

mains of the husband of her youngest
daughter. On board the Alberta were
Princess Beatrice, widow of Prince
Henry, the Prince of Wales, the Duke
of Connaught and other members of the
royal family, all of whom had gone to
Portsmouth on the Alberta. AS the
Alberta arrived at Cowes, the warships
of the new flying squadron lying in the

in other positions indicating mourning.
The entire scene was very impressive.

PUT RAT POISON IN THE TEA.
A Young Grips Attempt to Put Her
Grandparents Out of the Way.

0AdAtptESnIS CuJ Oh the way.
ALAMEDA, Feb 4k-Because her
grandparents had taken occasion to
reprimand her for some trivial offense.
Mary Agnes Burnett, a young girl IS
years of age, who lives at Bay Station,
tried to poison them by putting rough
on rats in their tea. The grandparents.
Mr. and Mrs. Evan Burnett, owe their
existence to the prompt work of the
family physician. When summoned to
the assistance of the aged couple the
poison had begun to operate, and it
was only after considerable effort that
the physician was able to save the vic
Tins.
1t was not known at first who had
placed the poison in the cups for Mr.
and Mrs. Burnett. Suspicion, how
ever, pointed to the granddaughter, be-
cause of her nervous manner and pc
cEliar actions. She denied emphatic
ally, upon being accused, that she was
guilty.
The girls conscience must have smit-
ten her later, however, for she wrote a
letter to the doctor, confessing that she
had tried to poison her grandparents,
and expressed great sorrow and repent
ance for her act. She implored the doc
tor to shield her, but instead he gave
the letter to the grandparents. They
made all haste to get the girl away from
this city, and arranged to send her to
other relatives in Colusa, where she now
is. The girl has always received the
best Of treatment at the hands of Mr.
and Mrs. Burnett, and they are unable
to account for her attempt at life-tak-
ing.

OAKLAND, Feb. 4-Girard's Piano
House. on Broadway, in the Central
Bank building, was entered by safe
crackers at an early hour this morning
They blew open the safe and stole $oOO
in coin and $500 worth of Mrs. Girards S
jewelry, which happened to have been
left in the safe for security.
About o'clock this morning persons
living in the vicinity Of Fourteenth and
Broadway heard loud report. 1t is
supposed that the safe was blown open
at that time. Nevertheless none of the
police seem to have known anything
about the robbery until it was discov-
cred this morning at o'clock, when
the LIE Clair Bros, draymen, came to
get a piano which had been ordered
moved to-day.
The draymen did not need a key to
enter. The safe was in the rear of the
store, and when the explosion occurred
the door went hurting through the
piano rooms with such force that it
caused at least a thousand dollars
damage to those instruments. Nothing
like such a wreck has ever been seen
in this city. The door was blown at
least sixty-five feet, smashing pianos
right and left as it went.
Notwithstanding the noise, no one
interrupted the experts, and they went
leisurely to work, judging from the
manner in which it, was done, to pry
open the inner door containing the
money and jewels. They used the ordi-
nary Jimmie" " which is considered the
cracksman's favorite tool. The explo-
sion was caused, as near as can be as
certained, by pouring liquid nitro
glycerine into the cracks of the safe.
The police feel so chagrined at their
inability to capture the robbers who
have been operating for the past few
weeks that they refused to say any
thing about the affair.
What surprises everybody here is
that nobody at the police station, only
one block distant, heard the noise al
though dozens of persons whose bust
ness was not to catch burglars heard
the explosion distinctly

J. H Hardin, the Nevada cattle king,
and c. B. Pooler, formerly of Santa

Seattle, eloped from this city to-day
and were married in San Francisco this

Miss Hardin and Mr.. PooIer were
schoolmates at the Pacific Methodist
College here years ago, when they
formed an attachment for each other,
but parental objection on the young
lady's side stood in the way of their
union Pooler was a struggling drug
clerk, while Miss Hardins fortune runs

boy lover, however, and although
greatly sought after by more prosper
Gus young men, she quietly awaited the
time when her betrothed should be able
to support her.
Pooler was recently appointed to a
position in st. Louis, and he wrote his
fiancee asking her to accompany him
thither. She consented, and without
exciting suspicion as to their plans, the
young couple boarded a San Francisco
train this afternoon and were beyond

The Suit Against sidney Smith Still in
Progress at San Rafael.
SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 4.-The trial of
the injunction suit instituted by Presi-
dent Foster and other stockholders of
the San Francisco and North Pacific
Railroad Company against their asso-
ciate, Sidney V. Smith, was resumed
this morning.
Attorney Page, counsel for Mr.. Smith,
replied at length TO the affidavits and
arguments presented yesterday by Mr..
Lilienthal in behalf of the plaintiffs.
Mr.. Page vigorously disputed every
proposition tending to indicate bad
faith on the part of his client, and ar
gued at length against the validity of
the alleged agreement by virtue of
which the complainants seek to control
the action of Mr.. Smith and to prevent
him voting his stock at the pending
election except as a unit with their own.
Such an arrangement as the plaintiffs
claim to exist between all the parties,
Mr.. Page argued would be against pub
lie policy, and should, therefore, not be
allowed a standing in law.
Mr.. Pages argument consumed the
entire forenoon, and was also resumed
when the court reconvened after mid
day recess.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Germany

H. Mason, United States Consul-Gen-
eral at Frankfort -the-Main. Sun
dried California apricots, peaches and
pears, he says, sell at retail in Frank

to 25 cents a pound, and their use in
Germany, even at these prices, is stead
lily increasing.
Mr.. Mason points out that there is a
margin of 16 cents between the price
the grower gets in California for each
pound of this fruit and the price he
can obtain in Germany, thus giving
him a chance for large profits by ship
ping sun dried product abroad. The
cost of the fruit, when landed at Ham
burg or Bremen, freight and duty paid,
would not exceed 9 cents per pound,

/. Lansing, who for many years has
been the Secretary and Controller of the

EXPENSIVE ADMINISTRATION.
Only Forty-Two Cents Left of a $50,
900 Estate.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4.-Encarna-
cion Buelna died in December, 1870,
just a little over a quarter of century
ago. At that time he had an estate
worth about $4,000 If Encarnacion
were alive to-day he would undoubted-
ly be greatly disappointed at the way
his $50, 600 has been scattered around.
For over twenty-five years his estate
has been going through administra-
tion, and it has had a very expensive
trip. It's journeys are now over, for
to-day Public Administrator Kelsey
finally settled it up. Of the original
estate there remained just AZ cents.
Nobody could be found to claim it and
the Public Administrator did not know
what to do with it. The sum was not
a large one, still it had to go some
where, so judge Clark made an order
directing Mr. Kelsey to pay the 42
cents into the County Treasury This
Mr.. Kelsey did, and thus ends the

QUEER CASE.

ST. PAUL (Minn), Feb. 4.-The
County Attorney of this county has the
queerest case on record on his hands.
The last Grand Jury indicted Edward
G. Devine on the serious charge of steal
ing a hthographing outfit, valued at
$4,000, from Gilbert j. Rice, manager
of the Union Printing Company To-
day Devine appeared in the Probate
Court of Minneapolis, was examined
for lunacy and committed to the insane
asylum at Rochester.
1t is charged that Devine preferred an
indefinite period in an insane asylum to
a definite period in a State Prison, and
chose this method of accomplishing his
object. The officers of the county are
completely in the dark. as the case has
no parallel in criminal annals. They
will probably have to wait until De-
vine is discharged from the asylum.
