the attendance was not large aud an ad-
tournament was Unexpectedly reached
shortly after 10 O'Clock.
The fight on hides was largely a contro-

by comfortable majority.
The rate OF duty was left for future de-
termination. 1t is expected the rate will
be l cent pound.
1t was voted 10 make the duty on uu-

This was the principal controversy in the
tobacco schedule, and the amount named
is n average of the rate fixed in the House

Woodford's first duty after arriving in

The President has given no serious con-

such a speech, and that he is a me m Der at

not enter Spain or be received at the

A GOOD CITIZEN
Joseph II. FIickinger Is
Numbered With the
Dead.
A Pioneer of the State and
Fruit-GroWer OF World
RenoWn.
Sketch Of His Remarkably Active
and Successful Business
Career.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 24.-Joseph H.
Fickinger, one of the best known of the
pioneers and iruit-growers of Santa Clara
County. has passed away. Alter an i'll
ness of two months duration he died at
his home, 800 South Eleventh street, at
$3.50 o'clock This evening. He took to his
bed on April %, and after a couple of
weeks it was realized that there was no
hope for his recovery. While he suffered
intensely during the greater part of his
illness, his end was peaceful and free from
pain.
There are few men who have accom-.
pIished as much as Mr.. FlickInger in the
development of the fruit industry of Cali
fornia and fewer still who have met with
the success which was his. So great has
the industry which he founded become
that there is not country of any great
ness on earth where his brands of canned
fruit cannot te found.
Mr.. Flickinger was born in Germany
seventy years ago the 10th OF the month,
but came to the United States when an
Infant and was reared in Erie, Pa. His
parents, Adam and Katie (HechIman)
Flickinser, were long residents of Erie
and owned farm near the place. He re-
ceived his early education in the neigh
boring schools. later attending for two
years an academy in Erie. Attracted by
the wonderful stories told of the then un-
known California and its treasures of
gold, he started west aud arrived in San
Francisco on Novem Der 1, 1849
Mr.. FIicki niger came to San Jose in De-
Gem ber. the Legislature of q thousand
drinks" being then in session. He at once
opened a meat-market, which be kept
through the winIer. When the Leeisla-
ture adjourned he went to the mines,
where he remained until September 1850,
when he returned to his San Jose meat
market.
In the spring of 1851 he extended lis
business TO general merchandising, in
which he continued for two years, when
he closed this business and went into the
wholesale cattle business exclusively, in
which he continued until April 1876 when
he wentinto the fruit-canning business.
In 1880 he lad purchased part of the
land, which he later planted as an
orchard, adding to it at different times,
until there is now 250 acres on Berryessa
avenue and Lundys lane, on which he
planted ZOO trees. Since then the busi-
ness was incorporated, the stock being
held by members OF his family. and it has
grown steadily and rapidly, goods being
sent to all parts of Europe, Australia
japan and China.
Ia 1858 Mr.. Flickinger was married to
Miss Mary A. Smith, who survives him.
There have been born to Mr.. and Mrs.

DENVER. CoLo., June 24.-The special
train schedule of the Denver and Rio

movement from the East is completed.
The result is a gratifying surprise to off.
GERS of the road, and gives intimation of
a rush of travel wholly unexpected in the
season.
A month ago it was estimated that the
low rates would bring 5000 visitors into
Colorado and through the State. The
special-train schedule of the Rio Grande
road shows that the transcontinentaI
travel to the coast during the first few
days OF July will exceed the estimate by
several thousand, and nobody can
prophesy the additional number of
people the low rates will induce to come
to Colorado to spend the heated term.
Between the morning of June 80 and the

developed that this date, the oath of June,
is an anniversary of moment to the
people OF Pennsylvania, Tor upon that
day in the year 1776, ten days before the
Continental Congress adopted the famous
document known as the Declaration of
Independence, the people of Pennsyl-
vania, through their deputies in confer
ence assembled, declared themselves free
and absolved from allegiance to the
British crown. The oath of June is,
