OROVILLE, Sept. 3.-Adam Nlpshew,
an aged German miner, committed sui
eide in shocking manner yesterday at
his claim near Yankee Hill, eighteen
miles from here. He had been de-
spondent for some time past but
evinced no disposition to do himself an
injury. Yesterday, however, he left his
partner, a half-breed Indian, in their
cabin, and went to the mine alone.
Shortly afterward the Indian heard a re-
pert, and upon investigation found that
Nipshew had placed a giant powder
cartridge in his mouth and fired it, blow
ing the top of his head off.

A Worthless Character Who VIII

FRESNO, Sept. 3.-Walter Jones,
worthless character, was to-day con-
victed or arson in the second degree,

to four buildings. He stated that
Spivey told him he was to be paid S100
by owen Holmes for doing the job. The
buildings had been recently insured.
When Jones went upon the stand he
denied all his confessions, but his denial
went for nothing. Spivey's case comes
up for trial next week.

Against the Plaintiffs.

VISALIA, Sept. 3.-Justice Holder
and Constable English commenced a
mandamus suit against Auditor JEFF
ferds TO compel him to draw warrants

and decided adversely to the plaintiffs.

FRESNO, Sept. 3.-The first car Of
raisins for the season of 1897 was
shipped to Philadelphia tonight by
Chaddock & Co. This is a very early
shipment. The indications are for a
short crop and increased prices, which
cause considerable friction between
packers and growers. Just now the

mand 31504c per pound cash in the

DOUBLE HOLIDAY CUTS DOWN THE
LOADED CAR MOVEMENT SHARPLY.
Class Engines on the Pennsylvania

dent on IA New England Road.

The Fourth of July, covering three days,
as it did this year. had very unfavora-
BILE effect on the freight traffic of the rail
ways, but the deficit in earnings from
freights may be overcome by an increased
passenger business otherwise or the first
week of July will make a very unsatisfac-
tory earning exhibit. In the week ending
July 10 there were received and forwarded
at this point a total of Is 153 cars, IA JOG
being loaded the lightest weeks business
in many months, and in fact the lightest
or many years except during the Debs
strike. All roads seem to have shared in
the decrease, and in all directions it was
felt more or less East-bound the ship
ments of grain were very light. Only in
shipments of live stock, dressed meats and
cerealine products was the tonnage up to
the average of many months past. West
bound business of the higher class freights
showed an increase. Many of the Western
dry-goods houses are already receiving
large quantities of fall and winter goods.
and the shipments of heavy groceries
west are still heavy for summer months
In the lower class the tonnage is disap-
pointing. With north-and-south roads the
last sixty days business has been in ex-
cess OF June and July last year, shipments
OF fruits, vegetables lumber and provi-
sions having been important items with
these lines. Local business also showed
the eHects of too long a holiday season,
but in the latter part of the week some i'm
proven-at was shown and the freight men
look for a good business the rest of this
MONTH The extreme heat had something
to do with the lighter freight traffic but
the falling off in loaded car movement
was chiefly due to the fact that on Sun
day, July 4, and on Monday, July 5, no
local freights were run, and but few
through freights. Below is given the car
movement for the week ending July 10, and

CFrom Sundays Second Edition)



NEW YORK, July 10-The one-rater
Mary. which represents the Wawasee
Yacht Club of Wawasee lake, near Indi-
annapolis, was tOWed from Morris dock to
oyster bay two days ago, and ever since
her arrival has been surprising the water
men of the neighborhood. The gentlemen
who brought the Mary from Western
waters are the most energetic and en-
thuslastic of amateur tars, and they have
their vessel out for practice and tuning up
purposes from early morning till late at
night. Their names are DR.. Henry s.
Hicks, DR.. George Edwin Hunt and +. B.
Pierce, all of Indianapolis. They are not a
boastful trio, but have strong hopes of be-
ing chosen for the honor of trying to. bring
back the Seawanhaka's international chal-
next month on Lake st. Louis, near Mon
treal, and TO select a challenger for which
the trial races will take place off this port
next week.
When asked this morning if he expected
TO be the selection of the committee Mr..
Hicks said: THAT is great nle-wide
question, but you can bet that we would
not have gone to all the trouble, not to
mention the expense we have been put to,
unless we believed we had a chance"
Whenever the Mary goes 'Out for an air.
ing" she is watched with the keenest inter-
est. In her first trial she showed such
quick movement in Swimming over the
water and in going about that the sharps
hereabouts came to the unanimous concu-
sion that the boat from inland would
make the coasters hustle from start to fin
ish. In each succeeding trial the favorable
Impression strengthened, and to-day all
nandS agree that Mr.. HICKS is amply 1uSti-
fled in his belief that he has "a chance"
There has been no strong blow here since
the Mary arrived, but in moderate breezes
and smooth water the Indiana yacht has
moved through the water easily and made
no fuss at all. Her rigging is in taut and
strong condition, and her canvas will have
been well stretched by Monday, the day of
the first trial race Her managers have
been careful students of the tides and cur
rents which run about the triangle TO be
sailed over, and, altogether. boat and sailor
men stand high in the estimation of critics
who have witnessed their performances.
With the beginning of next week the at
tentiOn of all yachtsmen, American and
Canadian, will be turned on Oyster bay
where the trial races will begin to decide
which of the new fleet of Juveniles" shall
go to Canada on the hunt for @. Herrick
Duggans scalp and the SeaWanhaka inter-
national challenge cup for small yachts
which the same Mr.. Duggan took away in
his gripsack to Montreal last year The
races will be decided on July Y, 10 and A.
The big boats have to concede right of way
this year, SO far as point of interest is
concerned, to the little fellows. and Ameri-
and Canada. with the Americas cup
gathering dust in it's locker, will fight it
out with boats whose racing length. under
the Seawanhaka rule, cannot exceed TWEEN
ty eet and whose sail area is limited to
500 square feet The other yachts in the
preliminary races, with their dimensions

The Duty of Rest.

wished the world would understand bet
ter the duty of rest.
The duty of rest
/ confess that the idea was new to me.
l had thought of rest as a pleasure and as
a privilege; l had regarded it as a neces-
sity; and | had even at times looked upon
it as a temptation when obligations drew
me one way and fatigue dragged me down
in another.
But rest as duty opened quite another
point Of view.
IL must have been meant as a, duty.
though, originally, else one day in seven
would never have been commanded
But the why" of it's being a duty we
have been left To discover for ourselves.
II was Bishop Brooks who first made me
see that recreation might mean recreation.
I had a little OF the Puritanic idea. which
he helped 10 dispeL l recognized too. as
he spoke, that the universe was always
playing IN on as, as the air lis breathed into
our lungs before we are able 30 make con-
sclous effort. BE receptive, and they fll us.
Our duty then. ! suppose is toward
tiles until they play in OH us and SO re-
build us, For most OF us. after all are
so eager IN the pursuit OF one idea--an
idea sometimes of pleasure. sometimes OF
gain-that we detach ourselves, as il We're.
from the main purpose of our lives like
the main body. and goes OFF merrily on
rs own account down hin to find itself at
the end of its journey without power and
without place.

premiers are gradually letting the cat out
of the bag in regard to the conferences
they have had with the secretary OF state
for the colonies Mr. Chamberlain, proving
the absolute failure of Mr.. Chamberlain
pet project for colonial representation at
Westminster. one who was present at these
conferences said TO a representative of the
press: when Joe embarked in this
scheme, as the one great step towards i'm
perial federation. ne was not aware, prob
ably, that English sentiment is by no
means ready for such a drastic change as
to permit colonials to sit in Parliament
Joe thought some sort of a colonial coun-
ell with a Understanding title, and occa-
sional distribution of stars and orders
would satisfy the colonials and prevent any
tendencies TO cut loose from the mother
country which was the only reason why
this scheme was attempted at all. England
