They Eloped

Mrs George H. Prince, whose husband
has for several years been teacher in
the Los Angeles public schools, recently
eloped with Geo. B. Store, of Oakland.
The couple lived at 632 East Twenty
eighth street. Recently Mrs. Prince went
to Santa Monica on a visit to her pa
rents. From their she journeyed 10
Oakland to visit the Stone family. She
and Stone are old lovers and the two de-
cided to elope. The last heard of the
guilty parties was from Redlands.
The following was received last night
from Redlands:
REDLANDS, July 30.-The people liv-
ing at the Club house, popular private
boarding house, are considerably
wrought up over the fact that Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. B. Stone, who have until a
week or so ago resided at that estab-
lishment, were not what they seemed
The pair arrived here on June 30th and
took lunch and dinner at the Hotel
Windsor and inquired the rates charged
by the week. They were evidently too
high for them, and they went to the Club
house, where they remained, with the
exception of a few days spent at Seven
Oaks, until they left, which they did the
21st of this month. When they care to
the Club house Mrs Stone, or, rather,
Mrs Prince, said she would probably re-
main some time, and when they left it
was in hurry. They were seer about
town very little and made no acquaint-
ances except among the guests Of the

Yesterday morning he put in an ap-
pearance at about the usual time and
again asked for his package containing
the money. On being told that it had not
arrived, the old man began to abuse the
clerk, insisting that it had come and that
they were trying to defraud him. His
excitement increased and he soon be-

to arrest the man who had just left the
office. While he was talking Doyle came.
along, still greatly excited. The sergeant
saw at a glance that the man was crazy
and followed him until he met Officers
Sheets and McLain at the corner of Third
and Main streets.
He ordered Sheets to arrest Doyle and
the officer walked over ard laid his
hand on the latter's shoulder. AS he
did SO the mailman drew big revolver
from his pocket and turning 1t upon the
policeman threatened to shoot him if
he did not step back. His command was
promptly obeyed, and then with his eyes
glazing with passion Doyle started to
walk diagonally across the street, TAX
ing care to keep both officers Sheets and
McLain covered, but apparently not no
ticing Sergeant Morton or paying any
attention to his actions. The sergeant
saw his opportunity and decided upon
immediate action. He started, out to
circumvent Doyle and managed to pass
in front of him without being noticed.
The he walked slowly along the street
until the maniac came alongside of him.
Just as the two were even Sergeant Nor
ton as quick as flash threw one arm
around Doyle's body and at the same in
slant grabbed the revolver with the
other. A desperate struggle began with
the madman, but Officers McLain and
Sheets hurried to the assistance of their
superior officer The three men then
crowded Doyle against the railing in
front of the German American Savings
bank and soon had him overpowered.

The Free Harbor League Aiming It.
self for Active Warfare in the
Near Future

The story comes from Washington
from a most reliable source that the
San Pedro harbor matter had been so
forcibly put to President Mckinley that
he had promised that Secretary Alger
should be induced to take the matter
up at once and advertise for bids for
the work contemplated by the report of
the harbor commission.
This news, coming from the president
as directly as it did, has caused the
Free Harbor league to feel much more
sanguine about the outcome and to feel
confident that as soon as the senate res
olution was adopted, Mr.. Algei
would accept the presidents ruling and
proceed.
Last Wednesday, however, a letter
members of the Free Harbor league from
very prominent man in Washington
stating in unequivocal terms that the
writer had learned from an indisputable
source that President Mckinley from
some unaccountable reason had changed
his mind and would not attempt to in
terfere with General Alger's view of thu
! matter.
The league and the friends of the free
harbor generally are as a result moi
feeling very sanguine, but are hoping
against hope that the pressure that is
being brought to bear and the force OF
public opinion may bring about another
change. The sense of the public seems
to be to give the administration more
time in which either to set itself right
or hang itself. If no action is taken by
the government soon a fight similar to
that which was made on the funding
bill will be inaugurated.

An Independent Telephone Exchange

In view of the recent meeting and
organization of the Independent tele-
phone companies of the United States,
the Detroit exchange is interesting as
showing the extent to which the move
ment has been carried out practically.
This local rival of the Bell company is
the largest independent company in the
world Its switchboard is 176 feet long
and has accommodations for 5000 me-
tallic circuits. This switchboard is di-
vided into eighty sections of $50 drops
each, each section requiring two opera
tors. Over 5000 subscribers are now con-
nected, and the work of connecting two
branch exchanges of 1000 subscribers
each is now being rapidly pushed. An
average speed of less than fifteen Sec
onds to connection, with comparatively
unframed operators, is now attained. A
new system of automatic registry and
restoring push buttons will soon be
added, which will make it one of the
most complete exchanges in existence

MISS CRANE
The Actress Who Played Trilby in Los
Angeles Steps on Rather

NEW YORK, July 2o.--Miss Edith
Crane, the actress. who appeared as
"Trilby" in A. M. Palmer's production
of that play, is at her residence, 439
West Twenty-third street, this city,
slowly recovering from the bite Of a
rattlesnake.
Miss Crane has pretty summer home
at Mink Hollow, in the Catskill noun
tains. At the close of the theatrical
season she took up her residence there.
Tuesday last she started out to pick
some huckleberries. In one Of the wild
est spots in the country she stepped on a
huge rattlesnake, which sank it's fangs
deep into her ankle. She ran to her
home, half mile distant, and tainted
from fear and exhaustion. An old and
faithful housekeeper, who has been in
the family for nearly thirty years, came
in, and, realizing the situation at a
glance, pulled off the actress stocking
and saved her life by sucking the poison
from the wound.-Chicago Times-Her-

CONCORD, N. H.-The terrific cloud

At the afternoon hour, when the
wind had attained it's highest velocity,
one of the mountain trains, consisting
of apassenger car baggage trailer and
engine, was standing on the platform at
the summit of the mountain. The wind
picked it up as if it had been toy and
