The origin of the blaze is believed to
have been in the vicinity OF the boiler

fiammable as gunpowder. that had been

means for the fire. 1t spread with great

His Honor took occasion to remark
once that in his opinion certain
sensational newspapers were response
Bile for most of the hunting amer
than the lsvan:ing couple. AS he IN
terpreted the law, simple adultery was
not a punishable crime in this State. In
order to b. such the unlawful relations
must be '.open and notorious" 1t was
this particular requirement that stumped
Sweeney. Most of his evidence rather
tended 10 show that Mrs Bradbury and
her paramour devoted much energy To-
ward finding concealm ent-aibelt this de-
sire was rather to escape the newspaper
renorters than to hide their shame from
society generally.
The first witness placed on the stand
was +. H. Bolmer, the colored porter OF
the particular Pullman car in which the
runaways rode from Los Angeles to the
Oakland mole. An objection was raised
by Attorney McEnerney TO any testimo ony
being given by this witness on the ground
that the Pullman at no time was In this
County, and that therefore the court had
no Jurisdiction over any act that Mrs.
Brad bury and Ward might have COM
mitted en- route.
The court at first sustained this objec-
tion, but subsequently reconSluered Ine
ruling and permitted Bolmer TO be re-
p aced on the stand. Like all Pullman
porters, this individual proved 10 be a
most reticent witness, and such testimony
as he gave had to be literally dragged
from him. He identified Ward as being
the man who accompanied Mrs. Bradbur
from Los Angeles, and SAID that he saw
but little OF them during the trip, for the
reason that they vigorously adhered to
the seclusion of their drawing room. So
far as he had been able to observe the
elopers did not haunt their alleged in
decency on the train.
Willis McCrea, another colored en-
ploye, gave evidence almost identical to
that eiicited from Bolmer. Then Gilbert
Whitaker, one of the clerks employed at
the Farm cunt Hotel, took the stand and
pointed out Ward as the man who occu.
pied loom at that hostelry last Satur-
day night, i'll company with woman
whom he did not know. The couple
registered under assumed names. Ward
was assisted in securing the apartments
by another man, who is said to be the city
editor of a morning newspaper. The
couple were vouched for by this party as
being man and wife. Whitaker said he
suspected that he had not been told the
truth, and communicated this i'm preston
10 the landlady, Mrs. w. F. Foster. The
result was that on the following mornin E
Ward and his companion were ordered

CONSERVATION
IN HAWAII
Fears That the Senate Will
Not Pass the Annexa-
tion Bill.
The City Of Peking Held Over
in Order to Bring News of
the Jubilation.
Much Disappointment Over the News
Brought From This City by
the Mariposa.

Even the Pacific Mail Company's
steamer City of Peking did not escape the
Christian Endeavor rush yesterday. Hun
dreds were down TO meet the ship, and al
though the abin passengers were few the
welcome was none the less hearty. Every
person on board was christian en-
deayorer' according to their own state
ment, but" said transfer agent, "they
want accommodation and that is the only
way they can get it.
The late arrival of the steamer was due
to the fact that President Dole and the
mem bers of the Government wanted to
celebrate annexation as soon as the Mari
posa arrived from San Francisco. There
was universal disappointment when it
was learned that the Senate had taken no
action.
Mrs. Schmidt, who was down to the
dock to meet some friends, had narrow
escape from an accident. The wharf was
crowded with teams and thousands of
tons of freight were piled up awaiting
transhipment. The hackmau started to
look for the lacv's friends and while he
was gone the horses ran away.
Such a stampede ha never been seen
before and never will be seen again on tn e
Mail dock. Men, women and children,
teams and delivery wagons got out of the
way and the hack with the haf-ira tic
woman in it made its way up the dock at
breakneck speed. Freight Clerk Gree n
was knocked down in vain attempt to
stop the horses and Gatekeeper Anderson
met similar late. Captain Anderson,
superintendent OF the dock who knows
more about a ship than lie does about
horseback riding, was the hero of the day
de caught the relnS as tue orSes were
speeding up Brannan street and by great
display of skill brought the horses "to
their hearings" A few minutes later The
driver took charge. and when the Peking
was docked Mrs. Schmidt and her friends
were driven to the Pleasanton

them. They entered together and he
closed the door after them. Some more
Paramount people gave evidence. but
developed nothing new. Then James
Fargherv related how Ward and Mrs.
Bradbury happened to occupy a room
last Friday night in the lodging house on
Post street known as the "Mansield." A
waiter from Marchand's restaurant en-
gagged the apartment for them, and the
couple arrived about two hours later.
They kept the room all night.
The certified copy of the certificate
vouching for the marriage of John Brad
bury and Lucy Banning was offered in
evidence by Mr.. Sweeney, and George P.
Dunham, whose name appeared on the
document as one of the witnesses, identi-
fed the certificate and gave his recollec-
tons OF the marriage, which, by the way,
was runaway affair.
Jack Connors. journalist, vouched for
the accuracy of an interview he had had
with both Ward and Mrs. Bradbury dur
ing their trip to this City. The woman's
story of romance" and "happiness at
last obtained" was repeated The witness
SAID that he gained the i'm preston from
their talk that the elopers had forsaken
their respectives homes for good and in
tended TO forever live together as man
and wife, in spite Of what the world might
say or think. This was the first bit of
real evidence showing that there had
been any Haunting that Mr.. Sweeney had
been able to sc cure.
Herman de Laguna, who rode up from
Los Angeles on the same train with the
runaway pa1r-in fact, in the same Pull
manifold story similar to that given by
the colored porters. After some rather
unimportant evidence was adduced with
reference to the dinners at Marchand's,
Mr. Sweeney announced that with the
exception OF the testimony of two absent
witnesses, his case was closed. One of
these witnesses, he said, was Mrs. Brad
bury herself.
