George Pape and Carl Engelbressen are
in I1il at San Pablo charged with The man
slaughter of Chris Davis.
Three days ago the lad was killed on
the track OF the California anu Nevada
Railroad, ard at the inquest held by Coro-
ner Curry of Contra Costa County to- night
some complicated testimony was given.
Paps is the engineer and Engel bresssn
the fireman Of the train that killed the
boy, and their theory of the boy trying to
steal a ride was upset by the testimony of
young Davis companion. This witness
testified that he and Davis were out in q
wagon and Davis left the road to cross the
track for the purpose OF getting squirrel
that had been lett in a sack. He was only
gone about six riinutes when the train
came around the curve. He saw no more
of Davis and went home without him.
The fireman and engineer stated that
they did not see the boy at all. The en-
gineer was looking Sideways when the
train reached the curve and the fireman
was on top of the engine throwing coal at
cattle. The jury found that death was
due "to the carelessness of Engineer
George Pai.e and Fireman Engelbressen,
and we hold the California and Nevada
Railroad responsible for the death at
Laural Glen Grove"
Davis father swore 10 Warrants for the
arrest of the men and they were taken to
jail at san Pablo, with bonds fixed at
$1,000 each.

oOO DIOddNay, June IL.
At the evening session of the Adventist
camp meeting Elder w. NJ. Healy made
some rather sensational remarks tonight
He stated that it is plainly apparent
that this country would yet enter upon q
career OF religious persecution as a result
Of the present clamor OF religionists for
recognition in civil affairs.
The speaker venturei the assertion that
no religious sect would ever better itself
or the Government by controlling civil
affairs. He said that prophecy plainly
showed the nature OF the rise and
progress of this Republic, and admitted
that the time would come when religion
would dominate civil affairs and that men
would be compelled thereby TO keep a
Sabbath which was a rival of Gods true
Sa bbath; but bv yielding to such com
pui sion, he claimed they would be re-
ceiying what the Bible deslgnates as the
marx OF the beast"
The work OF the conference took up the
larger portion OF the iotenoon, and
among the various measures proposed
and adop.ed wa plan for the esta blish-
ment OF home ior orphans, and another
for aged persons of all c.asses, whether
mem bers of The Adventist faith or any
other, or none at all. This plan was
adopted unanimously, and IL Is expected
will be an accom- pills he'd fact before an
other year.
Names of q number Of persons were
mentioned who had signified their will
lngness to contribute literally to an en-
terprIse of this kind. A large farm will
be purchased in some part OF this State,
and both of these homes will be located
thereon.

modified on the frontier and in the gar
risons. Everything is ready for the adj
vance from Shabkadr. The men are in
splendid condition. The lower Mohmands
on the border anxiuos to submit on any
terms; but the main body is still determined
to fight. 1t is reported that the Mullah of
Hadda has failed to raise the gathering he
expected and will retire to Tirah. Fort
Gulistan is still hard pressed by the enemy
In a sortie the garrison succeeded in cap
turing three standards.
The principal difficulty which the punitive
expedition against the Mohmands has en-
countered thus far is in getting stores and
transport animals to the front The entire
rail between Peshawar and Meerut is prac-
tically blocked from lack of locomotives.
Long lines of loaded trucks are waiting to
be forwarded. All the available trains are
being used to hurry the troops to the front.
General Yeatman-Biggs, advancing along
the SANTANA ridge to the relief of Fort Gull
istan, found the enemy entrenched in con-
siderable force in the Gezra hills. The third
Gurkha regiment stormed the position. One
Sepoy was killed and five wounded. Gen.
Yeatman-Biggs relieved Sanger, one of the
posts on the SANTANA ridge, which had been
hotly attacked. A mounted messenger was
sent on by the general to inform the gar
rison at Fort Gulistan that relief was COM
ms. The commander also sent guns to the
foot of the hills near Fort Gulistan, which
shelled the enemy and to some extent di-
verified attention from the fort. The enemy
is visible in strong force at Saraghari and
it is feared that, flushed with their sue
cess in the capture of that police post, they
may attack Fort Gulistan so fercely that
the small garrison will be unable to hold
out until General Yeatman-Biggs arrives.
The severe drought greatly hampers the
advance of Gen. Yeatman-Biggs, and alto
gether the situation at SANTANA is sufficient
