looked intently at the preacher and
seemed to be taking in every word. When
it was finished and the collection basket
was passed, he dropped coin into it.
After service the Major shook hands
with a number of the congregation.
There were fully 1000 people outside the
church waiting for the distinguished
visitor to come out. The neighboring
windows were turned into grand stands.
AS soon as Major Mckinley appeared,
all made a rush to shake hands with
him. The policemen kept many away.

CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS.
Will Be Exhibited at the Hamburg Hol-
ticultural Exposition.

OAKLAND. Dec. 2o.-H. o. Trow-
bridge. selected by the board of trade
to prepare and direct the state exhibit
to be made at the Hamburg horticultural
exposition. has entered upon the duties
of the position. He is at present direct
ing his attention to the wine exhibit and
the matter of finances. 1t will be neces-
sary to raise $4,000 to cover the expenses
of the exhibit and it is proposed to secure
the most of it by county subscriptions.
Trowbridge and the members of the
state board believe the exposition to be
an important one from the trade stand
point. In 1894 California sent two car
leads of dried fruits to Germany and in
a year the trade grew to over 100 car
leads. Germany has little fruit ard the
opening is a good one. Hamburg is
now the second commercial city in the
world and there are 100000,000 people
within days train ride Of the city. The
country is "a great wine consumer. and
there is chance for trade In that line.

Essence Of Cinr anon Kills Three Men,

WHEELING, W. Va, Dec. 2o.-Addi-
tional details from Benwood, the new oil
field in Monroe county. Ohio, concern
ing the poisoning from drinking "es-
sence Of cinnamon a substitute for
whisky sold at a speak-easy. confirm
the first reports. Three well-known
men are dead, several are seriously i'll
and three insane. 1t seems that one Of
the store keepers at Benwood got hold
of the fact that a Wheeling drug firm
was putting up preparation called "es-
sence of cinnamon" which contained
a large percentage of alcohol. The mer-
chant laid in a large supply Of the stuff
and informed the people that he had a
good thing. 1t was received yesterday
and he sold great deal of it during the
afternoon and evening. Several who
partook of the essence" soon became
i'll and three of them. after terrible suf-
fering, died. The symptoms were the
same in all cases. The first man taken
i'll was w. H. Price. on whose farm the
fisher oil company drilled their first WELL
Before physician could arrive he was
dead. He died in awful agony. Mr..
Price was one of the most prominent
and wealthy citizens. His royalties on
wells on his farm aggregated $4,000 a
month. He leaves a widow and one
child.
Charles Herbert, a butcher of Sarges,
Ohio, was the next attacked and he was
quickly followed to eternity by Thomas
Clegg, an oil driller. Others who were
attacked by the same symptoms but are
still alive are Col. Clegg, Henry Roth
and a cook in a boarding house. His
name cannot be learned
About fifteen other persons are suf-
fering from the effects Of the poison. A
number of physicians are on the ground
and hope to succeed In saving their lives.

Passengers Killed and Wounded In a
Texas and Pacific Disas ster.

DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 20.-A special to
the News from Shreveport, La, says:
About s o'clock this morning there was
a. bad wreck on the Texas and Pacific
road near Sodus, La. Although no In
formation is given by railroad officials,
yet it is learned from private sources
that three men were killed and several
badly injured. It appears that as a
westbound freight train was going up
steep grade, a collision occurred at the
foot of the grade, the crash splintering
several cars. None of the trainmelt
were injured. as they were back in the
caboose. The conductor and crew res
cued the injured, and they have arrived
here and were sent to the charity hospi-
tai. Following are the wounded: c. L.
Gates st. Paul; Dave Miller, St. Louis;
Frank Terry. Argentine, Col; Charles
Williams, Jerry Henderson. George
Brown. The names of the killed are

tpavention of the rules and principles
of the common law in relation to re-
straint Of trade and in relation to mo-
nopolies
D.-Because it Is in reality and is sub
stantially equivalent to a partnership
of the corporations mentioned in said
bill and in said amendment, including
the Central Pacific Railroad company.
E.-Because it involved an attempted
but unauthorized transfer and delega-
tion to the compla inant of the Southern
Pacific Railroad company of Arizona
and the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany of New Mexlco-corporation or
ganlzed respectively outside the limits
of the state of California, and are for
that reason subject to the considera-
tfOns stated in the preceding head of
this demurrer.
That it appears from the complain
ants own showing by said bill as amend
ed, that all the lessor corporations men
toned in said bill, except the Oregon
and California Railroad company and
the Southern Pacific Railroad company
of Arizona and the Southern Pacific
company of New Mexico, We're organized
under the laws of the state of California,
and that, therefore, their charters have
always been and are subject to be at
any time repealed, altered or amended
a the pleasure of the state of California,
power to in any way restrict or modify
the corporate power of taking tolls.
which is, in substance and effect, what
the things complained of by the COM
plainant amount to, and because the
complainant, If it took or holds any
rights or power whatever under any Of
said leases, took and must hold them
upon the same terms and conditions as
their lessons hold them
That the showing in the said bill az
originally filed Is insufficient, because
1t deals with complainant's so-called
Pacific system as a whole, and does
not show separately the earnings and
operating expenses of either that part
of the system which Is in the state of
California, nor of each of the several
constituent or lessor corporations
therein. both of which matters are ma
terial to be shown by the complainant;
because, in the first place, the validity
Of the rates fixed by the board Of rail-
road commissioners for the transporta-
tion of freight or passengers from one
point In the state of California to an
other point in said state-in other words,
for it's domestic commerce or transpor-
tation-ought not to be made to depend
upon or In any way be affected by
transportation operations wholly out
side of said state, and because, in the
second place. the complainant ought not
to be allowed by any mere conventional
arrangement of Its own, to make the
shippers Of one part or section of the
state contribute to the payment of the
operating expenses or fixed charges
of separate roads running through diff
fersnt parts of the country, and deal
ing with different sets of customers;
and that the showing In the amendment
and in the bill as amended is insuffi
cient, because It does not do away with
the second obligation just mentioned,
that is to say, it deals with that part OF
the system which Is within the state
of California as whole. and does not
show separately the earnings or oper-
ating expenses In California Of any OF
the several constituent or lessor COM
pa.nies therein.

Associated Press Special wire

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 20.-It was
o'clock this morning when the delegates
to the meeting of the Lake Yacht Rae
ing association concluded business. They
had met to adopt or reject two clauses
in the racing rules and regulations. The
most important of these two clauses was
the one that required that the midship
section of the yachts built in the future
must have 35 per cent immersion. The
other clause was that the vessels should
have their low water line measured with
crews abroad. The first one was not
adopted as it was formulated by the
delegates who met at Buffalo month
or so ago to formulate rules which would
be accepted by yacht racing union of
the great lakes, yet to be formed.
The second was also amended some
what. The result will probably be that
the forty-foot class on Lake Ontario will
not flourish, and many new boats Will
be added to 1t.
Another result will undoubtedly be
that the Interlake Racing association
of Lake Erie will not be pleased at the
action of the delegates of this lake, and
it is very probable that the union will
accept the rules as amended to suit the
association.
The delegates were called to order by
A. Jarvis, president Of the Lake Racing
association.
