OF the little foothill city extended a
warm welcome to the soldier boys. An
early start was made yesterday morn

the command rested until the south
wind arose, about 3 o'clock, and re-

The days march was uneventful, and
owing to the dust and high temperature
the first glimpses of Sacramento were
heralded with joy by the weary troop

is an example of manly independence,
a pattern of Christian humility, an il
lustration Of sincere piety, an instance
of religious zeal. His life at Corinth
reminds us that weekdays are for
work and Sabbath days for worship,
and that weekday work should pre-
pare for Sabbath worship, and Sab
bath worship for weekday work. The
person who spends his week days in
unlawful idleness is not likely to en-
ploy his Sabbath in worship. He who
devotes the Sabbath to the duties Of
religion is most likely to prove vigor-
Gus, industrious and faithful worker
throughout the week. Weekly labor
creates hunger and thirst for Sabbath
rest and Sabbath fare. Sabbath wor-
ship imparts strength and pleasure to
the daily work of the week.
A prominent business man of Chica-
go, who was active in the very heart of

not members, three We're dissipated

BAKERS BAD BREAK.
Has Left Town and Is Wanted on
Forgery Charge.

M. Van Norman, who conducts a
grocery at 600 1 street, has sworn out
a warrant for the arrest of Thomas
Baker on a charge of forgery.
1t is alleged that Baker obtained
some money from the grocer on an
order bearing the name of G. A. Phipps,
foreman of one of the railroad shops,
where Baker was employed, but when
the order was presented Phipps de-
clared it to be a forgery. Further in

fact that Baker had left his employ

He has probably gone to Clondyke.

LIEUT.. PEARY TRANSFERRED,
Ordered to Leave New York Navy Yard for
 Mare Island, Cal.

Washington, April 15.-The navy de- partment is in a ferment over an order to Lieutenant Peary, the Arctic ex- plorer, to leave the New York navy yard and take up his station at Mare Island, Cal Just at this moment the officers friends and persons taking an active interest in polar explorations are engaged In raising a fund in New York to defray the expenses of another ex- petition to be conducted by Lieutenant Peary into the far north.
 It is asserted that the detachment of the officer from New York will now in- volve the enterprise in failure. The chief of the bureau of yards and docks is said to hold that the New York navy yard, which now employs four civil en- gneers, can get along with three; therefore, it is proposed to send Lieu tenant Peary to Mare Island. On the other side are the scientists urging Secretary Long to allow the officer to remain in New York for a time and then to go on leave of absence while conducting the polar expedition.

Was Conspicuous in g1O-VeneZuelan
 Arbitration Proceed ngs.
 Washington, April 15.--Judge James Storrow, a lawyer of Boston, dropped dead while at the congressional library to-day
 Judge Storrow took an important part in the proceedings incident to the arbitration treaty between the govern ments of Great Britain and Venezuela pute. He was appointed special coun- sel by the Venezuela government to represent it and his brief was consid- cred one of the dearest and best repre- sentations on the boundary question that was prepared.
 After Minister Andrade and Sir Julian Pauncefote had agreed on the terms of a treaty, MT. Storrow accom- panied the former to Venezuela when the treaty was presented to the presi- dent of that country. The deceased re- turned to the United States with Mr. Andrade and since then spent most of his time in Washington. He appeared to be in good health and his sudden ueetlll w ctS d ol edl oIlOCh CO HIS lllcuuS.
 Mir Storrow was undoubtedly the greatest authority on telegraph and telephone law in the country, if not in the world. He acted as leading counsel for the American Bell Telephone com pany from almost the inception of the concern, preparing all the famous cases before the different United States courts and appearing in every one of the final appeal cases before the su- preme judicial courts. So closely was he identified with the Bell Telephone in this that he spent a considerable por- tion of his time in Washington, where he was either actively engaged before the courts, or in the patent office. He was an intimate friend of eX-Secretary Olney, both socially and in a business way.

Wants to Fight Fitzsimmons Next March
 Answer to be Demanded To-day.
 Boston, April 15.-Shortly after John l.. Sullivan returned from Carson City his manager, Frank V. Dunn, posted $1 1000 with a Boston paper to bind a match with Champion Fitzsimmons. Up to date no notice has been taken of it. The Sullivan people mean business, it is claimed, and this money will be drawn and placed with some New York paper.
 Manager Dunn, who is laid up with rheumatism and unable to go to New York, has empowered Nelse 1nnes, the sporting editor of the Boston Herald to go to New York and challenge Fitz- simmons over again in behalf of John l.. Sullivan. Dunn will make a 5000 bet that Sullivan wins. Sullivan is anxious to fight Fitzsimmons in March of next year to a finish and for the lar gest purse offered by any club.
 MT. Innes will be in New York to- morrow to see Fitzsimmons and de- mand an answer of 'Yes" or "No,' whether he will fight Sullivan or not Whatever money is put up will be put in the hands of Al Smith, who was the stakeholder in the last match.

MRS. TILTON IS DEAD.
Died Tuesday, but Fact Not Made Known
 Until Yesterday.

New York, April 15.-Mrs. Elizabeth R. Triton, the wife of Henry Ward Beechers accuser, died on Tuesday last at her home in Brooklyn. The news of her death was not made public until to-day. Since the famous Beecher trial she had lived in strict retirement and inrecent years had shared her home with her widowed daughter. Even the fact of her death was kept secret, and there are no external signs of mourn ing on the house where her dead body lies. Theodore Hilton, her husband, Is in Paris, where he has lived ever since the Beecher trial,
 For a long time Mrs. Triton was al- most totally blind, but less than a year ago she underwent a difficult operation and regained her sight. Then, about a month ago, she suffered a paralytic shock, from which she was slowly re- covering when In the latter part of last week she was again stricken and suc- cumbed to its effects two days ago.
 The funeral services were held to- night. Few were admitted to the house. Malachi Taylor, a preacher of the Plymouth Brethren, to which sect Mrs, Triton belonged, officiated. The interment will take place tomorrow.

He Will Probably Retain His Present
 Position.
 There was a rumor about the capitol yesterday that Bank Commissioner Sidney Crawford was going to resign and accept the position of treasurer of the Baptist society of the United States with his office in New York. MT. Crofut arrived in Hartford from New York yesterday morning, but left for his home almost immediately. He gave out nothing for publication, and the only thing that could be ascertained was that MT. Crofut had received the offer of the position referred to, but had not concluded to accept the place. Cover nor Cooke said that several days ago MT. rofut informed him of the propo- sition made by the Baptist society, and asked his advice. The commissioner said he considered the offer a flattering one, but that he should consider the matter carefully.
 MT Crofut was told by his excellency that the matter was one upon which he could not advise. It was purely person. al and one which he should decided for himself.
 Governor Cooke said that on this oc- casion the commissioner was much im- pressed with the proposition from the society, but yesterday morning MT. Crofut informed him that upon investi- gating the matter he had found that the duties of the position would keep him closely confined much more so, he thought, than would be pleasant. The impression conveyed, Governor Cooke said, was that Mr. Crofut would retain his present position.
 The salary of the bank commissioner is $2,500.

PRES, SP4LDyNG,S STATEMENT.
All Depositors Will be Paid in Full if Sc
 curities Are Rightly Managed.

Chicago. April 15.-Mr Spalding, the defaulting president of the Globe Saw ings bank, this afternoon issued a statement giving the causes leading up to the failure of the bank, and saying that he had no doubt all depositors would be paid in full and 50 per cent. of the capital stock paid to the stock holders, If the securities are conserva- lively managed in the hands of the re- ceiver."
 He declares that he handled the uni- versity endowment bonds in good faith, and that there will be no ultimate loss to that institution or to his bondsmen, if his investments are not sacrificed by forcing them upon the present market, and he Is permitted to advise how they shall be liquidated.
 Charles E. Churchill, the cashier of the defunct Globe Savings bank, has made a statement of the failure, which, 1T true, duplicates George R. Hayden, the state bank examiner under Cover nor Altgeld.
 MT. Churchill said: "Mr. Hayden, the state bank examiner, made an exam ination of the Globe Savings bank two days before the expiration of his term of office, but I have since found that he did not file his report with the state auditor. When the state auditor or dered an examination a few weeks later, I went to him and asked why he did so. His reply was that there was no report of an examination on file later than last July. I told him of the examination made by Hayden in Jan uary and he made a demand on Hay den for his report.
 Hayden finally filed his report, in which he recommended that the bank should be closed. The report was filed two months after the examination on which it was based was made.
 Shortly after the examination by Hayden a man whom I know to be a close friend of his attempted to pur- chase the bank, or at least talked about it. This man was introduced to us by Hayden. The negotiations for the con- trol of the bank failed and soon after the report was filed, but not until af- ter the new examination was ordered D

Both killed-Each Named the Other as
 One of Her Chief Iegatees.
 Boston, April 15.-The wills of the late Misses Bates of Arlington street, who died as a result of the Fremont street expolsion of March were allowed in the Suffolk probate court to-day by Judge Grant, Each sister names the other as one of her chief legatees. But as Miss Ann Matilda Bates died in- stantly on March 4, and her sister, Miss Georgiana H. Bates, did not die until March 6, the latter's other legatees, for the reason that she outlived her sister Ann, will receive one-third part of Miss Ann's estate, which is the proportion given by Miss Ann's will to Miss Geor- giana.
 The estate of Miss Georgiana Bates is of the estimated value of $461,00 of which s460000 is estate situated in New York city. The legatees and devisees of her will are her three sisters, of whom Ann Matilda Bates was one.
 The estimated value of Miss Ann Matilda Bates estate is $192O00, of which $190,000 is in real estate, also sit- uated in New York city. Her will gives her estate in equal shares to her three sisters, Sarah R., Caroline and Geor- giana H. Bates.
