Francisco Garcia Gives Up the
Ghost Alter a truggle of
III Years.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. March 17.-.Fran-
cisco Garcia, the Oldest man in the United
States, died here this afternoon, aged III
years He lived at 6i5 Buena Vista street
and passed away at ~ o'clock. The old
man was native of Sinaloa, Mexico, but
came here when he was 25 years old and
has resided in this pueblo ever since.
Senior Garcia was familiar object on
the streets OF that region OF the city in
which he lived. He wore partly the Mex

silver-braided high felt Mexican hat Oh
late years he has been very poor and has
been aided by the Lafranco family.
There is story extant TO the effect that
years ago he was induced to appear in a
dime museum as a living skeleton, but
there is some doub, about this, as he was
man OF great dignity.
His funeral will be made an event OF
great magnitude by the Mexican popula.
ton, as he was regarded with great rever-
ence by his compatrio.s. His age has
been questioned, but he had documents
which sustained his CAIN, though the

TEACHER BECOMES INSANE.
An instrucress at Los Angeles Goes
Cray and Is Taken to the High
id1ds HsYfUM.


LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 17.-Miss
Eugenia V. Steiniger was carried. kicking
and strug ling. by Sheriff Burr and q
deputy into Judge York's courtroom here
to day.
It was not necessary to have an exam
inatlon as to her insanity, except to COM
ply with the forms of law for her lunacy,
which was only too plainly evident.
The case of the young woman is one OF
exceptionally sad features. She is OF good
family and has been teaching sch ooi in
the Vernon district. She had not re-
ceived her full credentials as n teacher,
but was in the school under authority of
the trustees of the district under an espe-
cial permit.
During the course of her duties the
young school-teacher tad considerable
trouble with some of the pupils. 1t re-
suited in fr ction with the trustees and
the withdrawal of Mss Steiniger's permit.
This was regarded by her as calam ity,
and, breeding ov the loss of her posi-.
ton, with the humiliation that she felt,
her mind gave way and she became raw
ing maniac.
There was very little in her appearance
this morning as she struggled with the
officers that reminded her friends who
were present OF her former attractive per-
sonality. II became necessary before the
examination was concluded to send to the
jail tor armed muffs, and when they were
put on her she was more easily managed.
Is was shown by witnesses that Miss
Steiniger first showed symptoms of in
sanity in January and that she has been
gradually growing worse until she has
reached her present pitiabe condition.
1t was shown that her mothers sister had
been afflicted in similar manner.
at the conclusion of the testimony Miss
Steiniger was committed 10 the Highlands
Asylum, and considerable difficulty was

SEXES THE BALLOTS.
Committee From the Nebraska Legislature
Takes Possession of Votes Cast
in KoYamhac

LINCOLN, NEBR. March ia CON-
mittee of three from the lower house of
the Legislature, headed by the Sergeant
alarms, tonight took possession OF
the ballots cast at the Novem Der cleo
tion, in the custody of the Secretary OF
State and recanvass COMMITTEES recently
appointed by Governor Holcomb. The
ballots were in custody of this committee,
four members being present when the
House Comm mittee and sergeant-a '-arms
entered the committees room, and though
they protested no physical resistance was
offered.
The seizure followed the action taken
by the House late this evening when
resolution offered by Srellmon (Pop.) of
Dawes County was adopted, empowering
q committee "to seize the ballots,
and in case of resistance to sum-
mon to its aid the ergeant-at-arms
of this House and to use all force neces-
sary to gain possession and hold posses
sion OF said ballots, pollbooks, tally sheets
and abstracts until further order of this
House."
BY this action the House purposes to
canvass and declare the result itself. The
seizure of the ballots is in conflict with
ID strict Judge Halls order, and arrests
may be attemp pied tomorrow.

cAKTUA CREEK MYSTERY.
Half Finished Meal on the T.bie of an
Isolated and Deserted Dwelling Sug-
gesfs Foul Play.

FRESNO, CAL, March IA very mys.
terious case from the Cantua Greek region
in the western portion of this county was
brought to the attention of the officers to-
day. A deserted house has been found
there, and in some strange manner it's
tenants have disappeared. The dwelling
stands on the plain, eight miles distant
from any human habitation. 1t is COM
fortably furnished throughout, and half
finished meal is prepared on the table.
1t looks as If the person whose home it W as
hao been suddenly called away. Every
thing in the dwelling was covered with
dust, and appearances indicate that no
one has been there for two or three
months past. 1t could not be ascertained
to-day who had been living in the house
or who owned the land on which it stands.
The parties who discovered the deserted
dwelling looked through a number of
papers they found. Judging from these
the name of the missing tenant was John

WcEHDLARiSM At FRESNO
There's Set Fire to a Clothing Store and
Confaeration Is Narrowly
Aun knA

FRESNO, CAL. March 17.-At a late
hour last night fire was discovered in the
Poor Mans Friend clothing-store on
Mariposa street, adjoining the Farmers.
Bank.
Some passerby happened to notice the
smoke issuing from the cracks of the
door and gave the alarm. The blaze was
quickly extinguished by the chemical
engine.
Had it not been for the timely discov.
cry of the fire and the call OF the engines
before 1t had gained any serious headwsy
a disastrous conflagration might have re-
suited.
The store is located in the business GEN.
ter of the city, and had the fire com muni-
cated to the wooden sheds In the rear, the
department would have had hard time
in checking the flames.
There are some very peculiar circum-
stances connected with the origin of the
fire.
The rear door of the store had been
forced open, a hole having been cut
through the brick wall ana the iron cross
bar lifted from its place. Whether this
was done for the purposes OF burglary or
incendiarism is not known. 1t is thought
that the burglar might have dropped a
match or accidentally ignited the clothing.
As far as can be ascertalned there is
nothing missing from the store, and this
seems to lend color to the contention that
burglary was not the purpose. The au-
thorities are making a thorough investi-
CATION. The store is owned by Ra1in &
Kamp.

The Goyernme Mt Not Inclined to A..

Island

HONOLULU, HAWAII, March 10.-This
civ was wild with excitement for short
time last night, owing to rumols of an
alarming nature concerning an outbreak
among the japanese at the quarantine
station.
The rumors had their source in report
that the Japanese at the quarantine STA
ton were in an ugly and excited mood.
Ten heavily armed police were at once
sent to the station and so far there has
been no outbreak.
The japanese who are the cause OF this
trouble are those who arrived on the
Japanese steamer Shinshin Maru, manned
entirely by japanese crew.
This vessel was reported to have 665
passengers in the steerage and one in the
cabin. They were landed at the quaran-
tine station and on the following morn
ing case of German measels broke out on
board.
Five days additional quarantine was or.
dered, not from any alarm about the
measles, but because the Government
wanted time to investigate the circum-
stances surrounding the landing of so
many Japanese. The vessel was con-
signed to the Kobe immigration Com
pany, but the Government having been
notified of her coming gave strict orders
that no communication whatever should
be allowed between the officers of the yes
sci and the agents.
This was done 10 checkmate plan that
has been in successful operation here to
land Japanese.
The captain and agents OF the Shin
shin Maru have been notified that clear
ance papers will not be given the vessel
until the rejected immigrants have been
taken on board for return. So far the capr
tain has refused to take tnem.
At noon day the Government inves-
tigation came to an end. Seventy-six only
of the japanese will be allow d 10 land.
The remainder have been notified they
must return whence they came.
