Making Elaborate Arrangements for The
Reception of Their Visitors From
the East

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 30.-The
local Christian Endeayorers are making
extensive plans to receive and entertain
the thousands of that organization who
are expected to visit Los Angeles. The
reception committee of the City Union OF
Christian Endeavorers is com posed OF two
representatives. male and female, from
each of the twenty eight societies which
comprise the union.
All OF the plans for the reception of the
incoming delegates have been arranged.
The reception committees have been di-
vid ed into sub com mittees, one of which
will meet the trains at San Bernardino
and Cotton; while tie other will be located
at the passenger stations in the city.
When the trains arrive each carload will
be in charge of and accompanied by one
member of the committee, who will con.
duct the delegates to the headquarters at
the Y. NJ. G. A. rooms, where others of
the committee will be stationed whose
duty will consist only in furnishing such
inform alton as to hotels, lodging-houses
and places of public interest as the dele
gates may require.
The statement previously published, to
ang-cars, and that the Southern Pacific

MIA. turns out to have.been mistake. The
railroad has already furnished solid train

Costly Butter : Making

One Hundred Persons Affected,
Including Farmers and
Employees.

STOCKTON, CAL, June 30-The cream
cry located on Union street, between
Main and Market. is almost in ruins,
having been partly destroyed by fire last
night. The origin of the blaze is un-
known. From indications it is supposed
to have started in the office, and there is
phone box taking fire. When a telephone
wire crosses an electric-light or power
wire it receives strong current and con-
veys it into the telephone-box, which is
set afre by the wire-coils around the
magnets becoming white hot
The flames were discovered at about IL
o'clock by Night Watchman Ahern OF the
Southern Pacific station. A dense volume
of smoke was issuing from the roof.
Ahern turned in an alarm and the Fire
Department responded promptly, but the
flames could not be extinguished until
they had destroyed all the woodwork in
the interior OF the structure and partly
burned the roof and the walls. The build
ing itself was comparatively OF little i'm
portance, being but one-story frame
structure, but it contained costly machin-
cry used in butter making, and this was
damaged by the heat. Whether 1T was
ruined or not is yet unknown.
The creamery cost $3.50 originally, con-
tract price, and since then an addition
had been put on and some other prove
.ments made. 1t was insured for $4,000. A
thousand dollars worth of additional ma
chinery was to be put in in day or two,
but luckily it had not been taken from the
steamboat wharf.
The burning of the creamery causes the
closing down of the two skimming sta
tions at Lodi and Lathrop which supplied
it with cream. About 100 persons ale af-
fected, including farmers and others who
sold milk to the SIX imm ming stations. The
institution was just getting well under
way and beginning to make money. The
creamery will probably be rebuiit as soon
as settlement is made with the insur-
ance company carrying the risk.

DEATH or A BRAVE OFFICER
Robert Ktnnsdy Succumbs 10 PARALYSIS at
Rsddmg-A Terror to Shasta
County CRIMINALS.

REDDING. CAL, June 3o.-Ronert Ken
nedv. one OF the most prominent cluzens
Of shasta County and at one time one OF
her brayest officers, died to-day at his
home in this city.
Kennedy had held various offices and
positions of trust IN the county. For eleven
wars he served faithfully as Under Sheriff,
under Sylvester Hull. and during that
neriod dealt with some of the most noted
criminals that were ever placed behind
San QuentIn's bars.
It was Kennedy who captured and ar
rested sheet-Iron Jack. Shorty Hayes,
Jack Thompson and other noted outlaws,
two of whom are still serving terms in the
State prison.
When the band of highwaymen OF
which Shorty Hayes was a member was
rounded up Kennedy was tie leader and
effected their capture.
Before the capture was effected, how
ever, his own life was in jeopardy, and 1t
is said that Shorty Hayes himself was the
cause of Kennedy living through that
raid. The rest of the gang would have put
an end to his life had not Hayes inter
ceded.
During Cleveland's first administration
Kennedy was appointed receiver of the
United States Land Office at Shasta IN
1886.
In 1887 he was stricken with paralysis
on one side, and since then has been al
most helpless and speechless, except for
the occasional utterance OF one or two
short words. About year ago he re-
ceived another paralytic stroke, and his
friends removed him from Shasta to this
city, where they built him homo and
cared for him.
He continued to grsdually grow worse,
until death relieved him from all suffer
ing. He was a native of Ireland, aged 81
years and never was married.

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL, June 30.-The
presence of woman sneakthief in town
has somewhat stirred the quietude of this
little city, and many who have been
luIled into careless attention to bolts and
locks by the fact that rhieving is an un.
heard of thing here are finding lost keys
and screwing UP loose bolts. For the
past ten days persons in oil parts of town
have missed small and large articles of
greater or less value. the disappearance
of which seemed quite unaccountable, and
the "Lost'' bulletins in the postoffice now
nearly cover one end of the building.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mack, who
let's furnished rooms to summer visitors,
was awakened from a nap by slight
noise and found a well-dressed, middle
aged woman standing In her bedroom.
The woman seemed embarrassed, but
apologized, saying she was looking for
rooms. Mrs. Mack then showed her
rooms and the woman, not being suited,
went away. She had scarcely disappeared
when Mrs. Mack discovered that her
bureaus and two trunks had been ran
sacked and several articles Of value taken
therefrom. She Immediately gave the
alarm, but no trace of the thief could be
found and she has not been since heard OF.
