FRAN Tic DEED OF
A LINDEN MAN
Fires Two Shots Into His
Divorced Wife's
Breast.
Then Turns the Weapon Upon
Himself but Comes Out
Unscathed.
Caught While Trying to Escape-The
Woman May Rectvtr-Jsalousy
the Cause.

STOCKTON, CAL, April 1.-At o'clock
this morning James Douglass. a laborer
residing at Linden, shot and seriously
wounded his divorced wife, whom he &C.
cused with intimacy with other men.
The shooting occurred at Mrs. Douglass
home in that town. Douglass entered the
house shortly before the hour named and
imme diately began to abuse her, declar-
ing that since the divorce, which was
granted about a year ago, she had been
too familiar with other men. He de-
cIared that if he could not live with her
they would both die together. and, so say-
ing, he drew a revolver and fired two bull
lets into her left breast in the region of
the hear,. With scream she threw up
her arms and fell to- the floor, and the
would-be murderer instantly turned the
weapon upon himself and emptied the
pistol, but not one of the leaden missiles
struck him, although the revolver was
held so close that his clothing was powder
burned.
Thinking that the PROSTATE form before
him was dead Douglass, after failing in
his attempt to take his own life, fed into
the country, making his way toward the
foothills of the Sierras. George Bolts, a
Deputy Sheriff, and man named Frank
Beaver started in pursuit, and before the
fugitive had gained two miles they over
took him and com PEELED him to surrender.
He was brought hack to Linden.
Itis known that he was intensely jeal-
Gus of his former wife, who is rather
good-looking, about 35 years old. and that
his suspicious rested upon several persons,
but at Linden it is believed that he ac-
cused her unjustly. He had been in the
habit OF visiting the house to see their two
little children, boy and girl, ared re-
spectively about and 6years. Two or
three weeks ago he called AT the house
and in fit of jealous rage attacked Mrs.
Douglass and choked her almost to death.
The wounds inflicted this morning were
examined by DR.. Wing of Linden, who ex.
tracted the two bullets. He is of the
opinion that en- Mrs. Douglass threw
up her arms. at the instant the shots were
! fired, the action OF the muscles of the
breast DETECTED the leaden missiles from
| their course enough 10 make them glance,
and thus they were prevented from enter
| ing the cavity of the chest and piercing
the heart. As it was, the wounds though
serious are not fatal.

BERKELEY BEATEN
BY SANTA CLARA
a Splendid Game of Ball
-. on the Stanford
Diamond.
The Score Stood Five to Three
and Only Three Errors
Were Made.
Pitcher Kslly's Good Work for the
Victors-The Four League Teams
Are Now Even.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL. April
1.-The University Of California baseball
team was defeated by the Santa Clara
College team on Stanford's diamond this
afternoon by ascore of to 3. The. game
was fine exhibition OF base ball, with but
total of three errors, two of which were
made by the winning team. Santa Clara
made her runs in two Innings. Berkeley
was unable to score up to the last half of
the ninth inning. By some we'll play ed
hits they brought three over the home
base.
Kelly pitched his usual good game for
the victorious team. Up to the last inning
but three hits were made off his delivery.
The college boys got five more hits in the
ninth, however. He struck out four men
and gave one man his base on balls.
sConnor, Bride, Leake, Garnett and King
also played excellent ball for the Santa
Clara nine. King accepted in fine style
two difficult flies in center field, which
called forth merited applause from the
audience. King and Hoag of Berkeley
carried off the honors in fielding.
Kaarsberg pitched for the University oi
California. He is not noted for speed, but
he has several effective curves, his drop
being especially puzzing. Seven hits
would have got more base hits had not the
pitchers been given excellent support.
Kaarsberg struck out two men and gave
three their base on balls. He made one
wild pitch. Wheeler of last years Varsity
team caught him IN good shape. he
made several pretty throws to second.
Hennessey, who has Just recovered from
a sprained ankle, played first base. He
understands the position well, but was
rather weak at the bat.
By Santa Clara winning this game the
four teams OF the league are put on level.
tits difficult to draw comparison between
Stanford and Berkeley at present, as Stan.
ford defeated the team that bat Berkeley
. to-day and the olympic team won from
Stanford, who in turn was defeated by
Berkeley. Fine teams were made up as
follows:
University of California-wheeler, catcher;
Kaarsberg, pitcher; Hennessey. first base; Ell
ston. second base; Krug, third base; Nc
+. Claren, shortstop; Ioag, left field: Proctor
center field; Foster, right field.
Santa Clara-Garnett, catcher; Kelley
pitcher; Bride, first base; Fleming, second
base; Leake, third base; Connor, shortstop;
sage, left field; King, center field; Taber, righi

SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 1.-About half
past o'clock this afternoon a launch
pulled alongside the flagship Philadelphia
to where she was lying off the Coronado
wharf and few minutes later Admiral
Bsardslee was reading q cipher dispatch
from the Secretary of the Navy, which,
being interpreted. gave orders to coal up
and take provisions and equipme ent imme-
diately, enough to- last six months, and
proceed with all dispatch for Honolulu at
the earliest possible date.
The order created coEsternation aboard
the flagship. Many of the officers had
been looking forward with pleasurabIe
anticipation to at least three weeks stay
at San Diego before going north to join
in the Golden Gate Carnival festivit les,
which open May 3. Captain Cotton had
all his trunks packed and was ready to
leaye for the East, and the command of
the Philadelphia was to be turned over to
junior captain for the time, but now he
will proceed to Honolulu. with his vessel.
Chaplain Edmundson is in peck of
trou bic. His wife was to meet him here
and tonight he wired her to stay where
she was, for the pres ent at least, only to
receive an answer that she was already on
her way here.
Tonight the stewards. purchasing and
equipment officers are busy laying in
stores and supplies for the cruise, and in
the m orning at 8 O'Clock the Philadelphia
will begin taking on 800 tons of coal from
the Spreckels bunkers. The vessel needs
some slight overhauling and ought to re-
ceive coat of paint, but these matters
will be put off for the present. She will
sail Wednesday morning and expects to
reach Honolulu four days later, on
the 11th.
The officers are very reticent concerning
the orders received, but it was learned to-
night that there has been an insnrrection
of the japanese on one of Mr.. Spreckels'
big sugar plantations and that several ma
tives have been killed within the past ten
days. The Philadelphia being the tastes,
warship on the Pacific Coast, as we'll as
tie most availa BILE, has been therefore
probably selected to protect American iii.
terests on the island.

LOS ANGELES STEAMER SERVICE.
Line to Be Established Between That CITY
and Lower California and Msxi-
cdn F0rfS

LOS ANGELES, CAL. April latter
much discussion and a volurninous CORE
spondence Upon the subject by leading
merchants of this city and it's three com.
mercial organizations, Los Angeles it
seems is to enjoy regular freight steamer
transportation with Lower California on
the same terms as San Francisco. In fact,
this city has already commenced this
trade, and three weeks ago made a ship
ment of about J30 tons OF merchandise,
purchased here, from San Pedro TO Ensen-
ada. The shipment was made by schooner.
Hereafter these shipment will be made by
the regular steamers of the Pacific Coast
Steams ship Company.
The Pacific Coast~Steamship Company
runs a regular monthly steamer from San
Francisco down the coast as far as MaZat-
Ian, but the company has never been
wiling 10 make a stop at Los Angeles
port, there being no established trade
rom here. The only way in which ship
ments could be made from this city to
Mexican ports was to send merchandise
to San. Francisco and then reship from
there. Of course it was impossible to
build up a trade or maintain one under
.such conditions.
Recently S. b. Hynes, general manager
OF the Terminal Railway Company, mas
been giving this matter of Mexican trade
some very close attention, and TO his
efforts rather than to any other cause Is
| to be credited the favorable result OBJ.
falned.' 1t came TO Mr.. Hynes' attention
that Senor II. Moorkens, mem ber of the
State Council of Lower California and an
extensive commission merch9nt at En-
senada and San Quintin. would purchase
aconsiderable quantity of goods in Los
Angeles If he could land them in Lower
California without greater cost to hi
than II purchased in San Francisco.
Moorkens ascertained that he could do so,
and thus the business was launched, and
promises to be great success.
