Occurred.

Joseph Meehan, mere lad but Is years
of age, met his death in strange and
shocking manner at about 8 o'clock last
evening. He was attem pting to close a
window through which chilly draughts
were creeping into room occupied by
himself and parents on the third floor OF u

he slipped and plunged out and down to
the stone pavement below. He struck on

early this morning, the deceased intended
retiring early and was proceeding to do

His father entered the room when he W as
disrobing and noticing that the upper
sash of q window under which the boy S
cot was located, was pulled down, sug-
gested that it be closed in order to prevent
illness.
The boy kneeled on his cot, which was
about even with the wlndoW-slll, and hit
ing the lower sash attempted to raise the
upper one. Suddenly he lost his balance
and plunged from the window. His father
and mother heard his body strike the
ground and hurried, wild with grief. to
the sidewalk. There on the pavement lay
their boy, minute before an obedient,
contented lad, and now corpse.
A crowd OF people Immediately congre-
gated, and it was with difficulty that the
little body was covered to hide 1t from the
eyes OF the curious. The Coroner's office
was notified, and Deputy Coroners Tyrrell
and Smith removed the remains to the

A Company of Volunteers
Now Being Formed
in This City.
Prominent Business Men Taking
an Active Interest in the
Movement.
At Least Eighty SharpshooterS Will
Leave for Cuba Inside Of
Month.

The Greeks of California have decided
to take hand in the struggle now going
on for independence in Cuba, and should
the hopes Of the leaders be realized at
least eighty men, old soldiers who fought
and bled in the battle-helds of Europe,
will sail from some port in California dur
ing the first week in February.
Among those who are said to know some
thing about the movement are E. Stath-
opulos, J. Catechi, R. Radovich, P. Car
voones, A. CapIlos and d. 6. Camarlnos.
Should the company be formed a we'll
known mem Der of one of the SchuetZen
vereins will go az captain. and he will see
to il that none but sharpshooters are mem
bers of the organization.
An option on a smart schooner that is
now on the Atlantic side has been secured
and should all go we'll eighty of the men
whose ancestors made the walls Of Spar
ia will be fighting for Cuba within a
month.
Radovich is the head of the movement
and if anybody can engineer it to success
he is the man. The people connected
with him have considerable money at
their disposal, and the first thing known
about the movement will be the landing of
the men IN Cuba.
Stathopulos, Catechi, Radovich, CANA
rinos, Capilos and Csrvoones all assert
that there is nothing in the story and as
sert that the men now in training are be-
ing got ready for the nucleus of a COM
Dany that is to be similar to one of the
German Schuetzen clubs. All the mem
bers of the organization are single men,
however, and each one has his grip
packed and is ready to leave for New Or

The warm, bright day caused crowds to
seek outdoor pleasure at the park and the
ocean beach yesterday. The Cliff House
had an unusual number of visitors. The

ing pretty high. A lone little row. .boat,
which vas out on the pillows, seemed to
be having a rather rocky time.
At the park the area in front OF the mu-
sic stand was packed with handsome
equipages, and along the driveways large
nun Der of fine horses and bicyclers were
swiftly speeding. The boys playing ball

space, and thoroughly enjoyed the extra
fine weather.
