Both crops Will probably be large The
rain at the end Of last week has been
of great value to the farmers who are
now plowing; and grain will soon be
largely planted. Pasturage is much
improved. In some localities, however,
more rain is needed, and farmers are
sowing wheat on summer fallowed
ground. The season is favorable on
the whole for farm work Prospects of
a large amount of grain
In the southern portion of the State
and in the San Joaquin Valley the rain
damaged grapes, though less than at
first supposed. Warnings of the rain
led to general stacking and raisins were
saved from what otherwise would have
been extensive injury. AS it is some
growers insist that a large portion of
the crop has been damaged, and while
admitting that the crop was stacked
in time, claim that dampness Will cause
half-dried fruit to mould. Second
crop of raisins will be of little value
except for the wineries.
The average temperatures for the
week ending November 1st, were: Eu-
reka, 80 degrees; Red Bluff, 62 degrees;
Sacramento, 60 degrees; San Francisco,
50 degrees: San Luis Obispo. IS de-
grees: Fresno, 90 degrees; Los Angeles,

Yesterdays FIRE.
c. III. Gilman's Residence Consid-
erably Damaged.

Shortly before noon yesterday the
rear portion of the residence of c. III.
Gilman, 1876 G. street, was found to
be on fire, and before the fire engines
arrived the flames had made consider
able progress in the interior of the
building, and extended along between
the ceiling and rafters we'll toward the
front part of the house
Owing to the prompt action of the
neighbors, most of the furniture was
removed, but the loss fell heavily on
the house, the interior of which was
finely finished.
The fremen had little difficulty in
subduing the flames, but the water
wrought havoc with the fine carpets,
frescoed ceilings and polished walls
Mr. Gilman estimates his loss at from
S2,000 to 5000, which is fully insured.
The fire started in a wardrobe off
the bathroom, and was caused, ii is
believed, by mice nibbling matches in
the pockets of some of the clothing.
Nobody was at home when the fire
started and Mr.. Gilman, who was down
town, did not arrive until after the
flames had been extinguished.

THE CRAVEN CASE
The Lady Comes Back With Charges
of Crookedness

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21.-Whep
the trial Of the Angus Craven case was
resumed this morning, Mrs. Craven made
some grave charges against Attorneys
Lloyd and Wheeler. of counsel for the
Fair heirs. She practically accuse
them of having endeavored to induce her
to testify to state of facts which had
no foundation in truth. She insisted tha
during an interview with Attorney
Lloyd, when she was being coached as
to her testimony with reference to the
deeds. that astute lawyer suggested that
she should testify that her claim against
the Fair estate had been settled, al
though she had not yet received the
promised $500,0OO conditional upon th.
surrender of the documents which she
held.
After this testimony Mrs. Craven be-
came SO faint that she was compelled to
retire from the court room for ten min
uteS, but upon resuming her testimony
she gave her reasons for not having
shown the deeds to these attorneys
among them being the assurance from
Mr.. Wheeler that if the trust clause in
the will offered for probate could beyin-
validated, the pencil will could be put
through without difficulty, and then she
could perform her part of the contract
at any time.

ATTACKS BRYAN
A Middle-of- the-Roader Feels Very
Much Dissatisfied

LEWISTON, Me, June 21.-Prof. L. c.
Bateman of Auburn who was the can
didate of the Peoples party of Maine for
governor last year, and who is leader
of the Middle-of- the-road forces in this
state, today published another attack
on William j. Bryan. Prof. Bateman
says that Populist congressman Free
man Knowles Of South Dakota while on
his recent trip to his old home in Show
kegan, Maine, gave out the information
that Mr.. Bryans recent gift of $500 to
the Populist national committee was
made with the distinct understanding
that no action against fusion should be
taken by the Peoples party at the next
national convention.
This. Prof Bateman says, is nothing
mere than direct bribery. Prof. Bate
man also says that Mr.. Bryan has ap-
pended his (Bateman's) name to SEN
ator Aliens letter Of notification given
out last September. Bateman was sec
cetary of the notification committee,
but did not sign the letter in question.
He says that Mr.. Bryan's action in
printing his name on the letter in the
new book is an act of political forgery.
Bateman is delegate to the Middle-of-
the-road national conference at Nash
vile, Tenn, July A. He says he will
bring these matters before that body.

BISHOP BoNAcUM
Knows More Than the Public About
the Decision

OMAHA, Neb., June 21-Another de-
cision has been made in the celebrated
case of the priests of Lincoln diocese
against Bishop Thomas Bonacum At
the direction Of the sacred propaganda
at Rome, the case was heard at the
metropolitan court at Dubuque last year,
Rev. Peter Baart of Detroit presiding
at the request of Archbishop Hennesy
Father Baart decided in favor of the
priests at every point.
Bishop Bonacum appealed to Mgr
Martinelli in December. Father Fitz-
gerald today received the decision of
Mgr. Martinelli and with it a letter di-
recting that the decision and sentence
be not given to the press for publication.
1t is learned that in this decision and
sentence, which is quite long and writ
ten in Latin, Mgr. Martinelli has done
all that Father Baart did in the metro
politan at Dubuque. and has in no way
censured the bishop for the expulsion
and suspension and accommodation
pronounced over year ago by the bish
op against the priest.
