At THE STATE FAN.
Exhibitors Are, As UsuaL Slow in
Getting Their Displays
Into Place.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 6.-Owing
to the fact that exhibitors have been more
than usually diIatory in getting their
displays in order this year the Agri-
cultural Pavilion, outside of the
floral, and horticultural display and
the art department.. is in state of mix
and from all appearances it would seem
that several days must elapse be-
fore everything can be placed.
This is not the fault of the officers
of the society or their employees. but the
blame must be attached to the exhibitors
themselves, and IL is their own individual
loss as it necessarily shortens tue period
during which the display remains before
the public.
The art exhibit will this year be one OF
the chief attractions in the pavilion. 1t
Is not yet all in place and Superintendent t
Stanton has not had time to catalogue
the pictures, yet there is a sufficient num-
ber in place to give an idea OF what
the exhibit will be. There will be greater
mum Der OF pictures this year than last, and
they will as a whole possess more merit.
That is what Mr.. Stanton affirms. and the
display so far hung would justify the ss-
sertion.
Out at the park, in the cattle depart
ment, only few of the really topnotchers
have put in an appearance and the ma
iortv of the stock looked tired and travel
worn. In the swine display some fine
animals occupy the pens.

Pomona Era of P,osperity.

POMONA, CAL, Sept. 6.-Not in seven
years, or since the famous summer for
deciduous fruits in 1890, has there been
such pros perity among the fruit men in
this region as at present. There have
been large crops of apricots and peaches
in Pomona Valley this season, and the
way that the market for all kinds of dried
fruit has gone booming has made merry
the population. The fruit drying estab-
lishments are employing hundreds OF
men, women, boys and girls. The Pomo-
ma Canning Company has two very large
shifts of workers and runs day and night.
Even the fruit driers work with electric
lights to do packing at night in order to
catch up with work.

SAN FRAKclSc0S ASSESSMENT

Believed to Be Opposed to an
Increase.

SACRAMENTO. CAL, Sept. g. The

to-day, all mem bers being present. 1t
discussed the valuations of various coun
ties, but arrived at no conclusion as to in
creasing or reducing.

possible that the County Of San Francisco

on Tuesday, but the matter will not prob
ably be settled before Wednesday.

position that San Francisco oughtto to be in
creased, but they may not vote for an in

Explosion Of Gasoline Starts a
Conflagration on the
Craft.
Pursued by Tongues OF Fire, the
Captain Leaps Overheard
and Escapes.

ASTORIA, Oh, Sept. 6.-By an expIo-
sion of gasoline at 4 o'clock this morning
on the large launch Claude B. HantEo orn
one man was killed and another seriously
burned.
Captain Claude B. Hanthorn and First
Officer James Layzell of the launch Han
thorn went aboard on Sunday night al he
Astoria Iron Works grldiron, where some
alterations were being made in the house
OF the vessel. They retired for the night
almost imln ediateIy. The boat had not
been used in any way during the day.
About o'clock this morning, the captain
says, he was awakened by the groans oil
Layzell, and went to his help, both men
sleeping IN the sams room. He shook
him, but could get no reply, and his
breathing appeared labored. The captain
assisted Layzeil partly out of bis bunk,
and held him in his arms and worked
with bim until he breathed more easily.
Still the man could not speak. Supposing
that he had tainted the captain started tor
the main deck for cold water.
In the meantime, while working with
Layzell, he heard gasoline escaping from
a vent-gauge, which he quickly turned off,
As the boat was resting partly on the
gridiIon and partly in the water she was
not floating on an even keel, but was
listed. This he knew was the cause OF the
gasoline escaping from the pipe, snd he
thought that from the list taken just at
the tine all the oil had escaped; but
now he believes that some had leaked out
before. Having slept in the room and in
hailed the odor in his sleep it was not de-
tected on his awakening.
Before going on deck and not knowing
that much OF the oil had escaped, the cap
tain thought it best TO Iigh. the lamp al
ways kept ready for such purposes. The
fist match burned out without lighting
the lamp. Turning the wick higher a
second match was lighted and the lamp
burned freely.
Just at that moment the explosion took
place and in a second the cabin was in
flames. Realizing that he could not save
himself and LayzelI single-handed, he
himself being badly burned, he rushed on
deck, sprang overheard into the water, his
underclothing and hair on fire, and made
for the nearest house on the river hank.
With its owner, William Taylor, be re-
turned to the boat to save the first officer 5
life.
BY this time the fire had gained such
headway in the cabin, which was dense
with smoke, that they could not reach the
Dom where LayZell was lying. The cap
tain was again compelled to jump over
board 10 save his life, followed by young
Taylor. The fire company then reached
The scene and put out the blaze.
Layzell evidently died from suffocation
and was not conscious when the flames
reached him. Captain Hanthorn's legs
and hands were badly burned and his face
sigutly burned. 1t is believed, however,
that he will not be dishgureo.

CHARNLEE'S SHORTA GE.

No Creditor of the Board Wfu Suffer
Through HI, Dishone'fy.
CHICAGO, III, Sept. 6-The officers OF
the Presbyterian Board of Colleges and
Academies have made the following state
ment regarding the defalcation OF Treas
urer Charles N. Charnlee:
From the moment suspicion was
aroused the officers of the board have
acted vigorously, not to shield the de-
fauiter but to protect the interests OF the
board, the church and all who might be
exposed to loss. The loss 10 the board
cannot yet be exactly known, but 1t is ap-
parently about $50 900. The board holds
the bonds of the American Security Com
pany for $40. 900, and it is expected that
the mem bers of the board and the friends
OF thecause will replace the remainder.
The board has cash on hand to meet all
present demands, and expects to meet all
future demands. 1t is believed that no
institution nor creditor OF the board will
suffer in any way."
