STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. T.-Luigi
Peschiera was to-day held to answer on a
charge OF murder by Justice Parker. for
having last month killed Giacomo Denoi

killed and then sprang upon his assail-
ant, and the two had rough and tumble
fight. She said that her blood began to
boil and she became greatly excited, but

Losses and surance-The Town to
Be Rebuilt-Serious Injury
to Fireman.

SONORA, CAL, Dec. IA great part
of jamestown is in ashes, and where a
few days ago stood prosperous business
houses desolation appears in the thriving
mining town OH the mother lode.
Thursday morning about 8 o'clock the
firebells rang out in Sonora for what
every body believed to be dangerous fire
in this city. but inquiry soon revealed the
fact that the fire was not here but at
jamestown, a Geographic message having
been sent here by way of Stockton for
help. The fire ladies from this town
quickly responded to the call, and lost no
time in getting TO the scene of the con-
migration and to work, and by their heroic
and intelligent efforts did much toward
checking the further progress of the fire.
A CALL reporter was one of the earliest
OF Sonora's citizens on the ground. On
entering the town sorry spectacle pre-
scented itself, for there, along the right
hand side of jamestown, was nothing but
charred and indistinguishable mass of
merchandise and household effects. The
streets were crowded not only with the
citizens of Jamestown and vicinity, but
with persons from Sonora as well, who

1t appears that about 6 80 A. NJ. G. C.
Stohe, proprietor of the Hotel Willows,
got up as was his wont and discovered
that the town had very healthy fire in
progress. He at once gave the alarm and
soon some hundred of citizens gathered,
and for more than an hour and half
fought the flames, though at an awful
disadvantage.
Water could only be had by the method
of packing it in buckets, and so but very
little Roadway was made. Then build
ing little removed from the immediate
neigh borhood of the fire was covered with
blankets and bucket after bucket of water
thrown over it, but this too failed, and the
building was soon enveloped by flames
and shortly afterward was nothing more
than smoking ruin.
Heroic methods were found to be the
only ones that could be of any use in saw

Celestials Hurl a Bomb
Into a Japanese
Resort.
A Brave Policeman Extinguishes
the Fuse and Prevents a
Disaster.
The Murderous Missile Would Have
Blown Up the Place and Killed
the Occupants.

STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. I.-At an early
hour this morning anarchistic Mongollans
made an attempt to blow up house on
Hunter street, between Market and WASH
ington. which is occupied by Japanese
courtesans. A bomb made for the occa-
sion was thrown through side window
shattering three panes of glass. The ''iE-
fernal machine" was quickly carried from
the front room by one OF the occupants
and thrown into the back yard before the
fuse had burned down far enough to
ignite the explosive. One of the women
then blew furiously on police-whistle,
ana Captain Simpson, who heard the call,
rushed to the place. He saw the bomb in
the yard and cut the fuse off near the top
of the can. 1t was still smoldering when
the officer had arrived on the scene. An
examination of the bomb revealed the
fact that the thrower of it meant bust
ness. 1t consisted of large can, APP
parently a lard can, in which had been
placed two pounds of black powder, a
stick of giant powder and two percussion
caps.
1t is supposed that the caps were put
there in the hope that they would explode
upon the bombs striking the floor. The
fuse was ignited, though. in case the caps
did not work, which, as the event proved,
was the case. The powder was firmly
packed down with sand. Had the bomb
exploded it would have easily blown up
the house and killed the inmates.
The question which the officers are try
ing to find out is, Who threw the bomb?
The thrower OF it lost no time in getting
out OF sight, as no trace of him was seen
by any one. 1t is generally supposed that
a Chinaman tried to blow up the house.
The make of the instrument of destruc-
ton bore the marks of Chinese ingenuity.
Besides the fuses there were some punks
protruding from it similar 10 those which
Chinese burn in front of their places. Up
to the present time the officers have been
unable to find any clew to the identity of

SAN DIEGO CAL, Dec. 17.-Another
fine steamer has been lost on the rocks OF
Korean, Chile, where the steamer fentaur
of the Kosmos line was wrecked last July.
The last wreck is that OF the Valparaiso

castle, England, was of steel, 279l TONS
register, and had a valuable cargo. No
lives were lost. The Chantrey lett Co

shifting current, misty weather and
possible arrangement caused the wreck.
The treacherous current, however, is &C
cepted as the true cause. The steamer
was going at the rate of eight knots when
she struck. a big hole was stove in the
port side and within a few minutes the
engine-room was full of water, besides
several compartments.
The passengers, mails and treasure were
landed in small boats without accident.
The steamer Quintero was sent down from
Valparaiso and conveyed the passengers
to that port. The Chantrey carried 1859
tons of cargo, consisting principally OF
coffee and ores. The coffee was mostly

VISIT TO SANTA MONICA.
Deep Water Harbor Commissioners Take
Look at Mr.. HuntIngton'S Ste-Go
to San Pedro To-Day.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Dec. 1.-THE
deep-water harbor commissioners visited
Santa Monica to-day. They went in a
special train, which was in charge OF
Superintendent ]. A. Muir, the very ablest
lieutenant that Mr.. Huntington has in
California. On reaching the Southern
Pacific ''harbor" site the board was taken
TO the long wharf and thoroughly in
spected it.
They were then taken on board of the
company's tug Coils and sailed all about
the piece of the vastly deep that Mr..
Huntington hopes to inclose by the use OF
the Governments money. They made
some Investigations as to the nature of
the ocean bed and the depth of water and
returned soon. In fact 1t was not good
day for Santa Monica, as there was
heavy swell, and the Coils reared and
bucked in bronco style. Admiral Walker
stood the test like an old salt, but the
others looked pale as they returned to
town.
This evening committee consisting Of
John T. Francis, L. Z. Mosher, w. w.
Woolwine and Henry Haywood called on
the board in The interest OF San Pedro.
The purpose was to ascertain how to pre-
sent the evidence that had been gathered
ON the side of the peoples harbor. No ar
gument was attempted tonight, as the
commissioners are very punctll1ous about
listening to harbor talk outside of their
meetings.
Later in the evening the Southern Pacific
engineers, Mr.. Cortheu and Mr.. Hood,
appeared on the scene and chatted Tor an
hour or so with Admiral Walker and
other Commissioners. President leighton
of the Terminal Railway was also caller,
while there were score or more of news
paper men on hand, put little informa-
ton of value was attainable.
Tomorrow the BOARD will make its first
visit to San Pedro, going for the purpose
of taking look about before commence
ing the real work of collecting the tech
meal data. Mr.. Pratt, the efficient secre-
tary of the board, has prepared COM
plete Office at his room in the hotel, and
on Monday will be ready for the actual
labor which will then commence.
To-day the Free Harbor League COM
pIeted its preparations and is all ready for
the FRAY on the side of San Pedro. What
the Southern Pacific forces have in the
way of evidence no one knows. One thing
is certain, and that is that no misstate-
ment of facts such as they INDUCED in in
the fight before Congress will be per-
mitted,
Special experts have been detailed by
the Free Harbor League to watch for
false assertions on the part of the Hunt
ington forces, and any such will at once
be publicly denounced. The public inter-
est in the contest has become intense,
and the open meetings will have q ire
mendous attendance.

noon f. w. Buckley, who has home at
Pacific Grove. was arrested by Sheriff
Cunningham on telegram from San Jose
stating that warrant had been issued in

L OS ANGELES, Call, Dec. 17.-William
Furey, an alleged poisoner. was arrested
to-day on the charge of attem pting to kill
Mrs. Kelly, his aged mother-in-law.
Furey takes his arrest coolly and says he
can prove his innocence, though detec-
lives claim him to be cold blooded fiend.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Kelly became sud-
denly sick after drinking water and coffee
given her by her son-in-law. Similar
sickness was noticed on other occasions,
and once Mrs. Kelly saw a suspicious
looking powder floating on water given
her by Furey. She had it analysed, find
ing 1t to be arsenic. She told her daugh-
ter, Furey's wife, of the discovery, and to-
gather they awaited developments. 1t is
also claimed that other attempts were
made 10 poison her, so Furey was placed
under arrest. The prisoner is a veteran
of the Civil War, and came from Milwau-
kee to Los Angeles one year ago.
