The Slough CITY ds for the WAmsrdn
School of Manual Train

STOCKTON, CAL. June 17.-"In case
Stockton votes bonds for the erection OF
new schoolhouses, why not offer the
Lafayette school buil1ng and site to the
regents of the State University for the
Wilmerding School of Manual Training2'
suggests the Stockton Mai tonight.
ut is unlikely that the Wilmerding
chool will ever be located in San Fran
cisco, which city has the call just now.
The whole matter seems to have fallen
into slum Der, owing to the contagious
sleepiness of the metropolis, and this nap
will proba bly, continue until next year.
BY that time Stockton may be IN posi-
ton to put in a good bid Tor the school by
offe ring the Lafayette property, and in
view Of the long inaction on the part OF
the metropolis the Board of Regents will
most likely accept the Offer"
The scnool department has several
times suggested that the Lafayette build
ing be abandoned as a city school and
used as city hall or some other purpose
on the ground that it is too centrally To-
Gated. A central location, however, is no
objection in the case of manual training
school-in fact such location would b.
better for that purpose. The site is within
a hundred yards of the courthouse, and
| consists of quarter of a block. The
| structure IS q substantial Two story brick
| building containing eight large room,
one of which will seat $50 pupils. The
rooms will average thirty feet square at
the very least. 1t was decided to the city
for school purposes, and there has been
some doubt whether it can be tran sferred
by the city for any other purpose. Evi-
IDENTIFY, however. it could be transferred t0
the Regents as a home for the Wilmerding
school, for under this arrangement q
school would still be maintained there.

DEBS INVITED TO WASHING TON.
Governor Rogers Reminds WaH Street of
Sodom's Baptism OF Fire and
ErIDs 'O1e

TACOMA, WASH, June 17.-Governor
Rogers has seuI Eugene Debs what prac-
tically amounts TO an invitation 10
bring to this State an immense colony OF
worklngmen from the East. Eugene Debs,
Edward Bellamy and Myron w. Reed pro-
pose TO take initial steps to revolutionize
theAmerican Government by inaugurating
in this State colonies to carry out the ideas
advanced in Bellamy's book, Looking
Backward. "
In answer to inquiries, Governor Rogers
says that on hearing of their scheme he
wrote TO Debs asking him and his COL
leagues 10 bear in mind TINS State and Its
grand possibilities in selecting q location
for their experimental colonies.
In explanation the Governor says that
he favOrs anything consistent with the
laws which might look toward the amelio-
ration OF the condition surrounding the
poorer people, now enormously increasing
in numbers. He says that something
must be done for them and that The COM
tortab!e class, IN opposing every plan of
proposed relief, are simply sitting on the
Sc fety valve.
Ia conclusion he advises Wall street to
read Ezekiel xvi 1850, and learn why
sodom was given It's baptism of fire and
brimstone. II Debs and his colleagues do
not succeed in getting land in Utah it is
believed they will direct their attention

PRESCOTT, ARIZ June II. - George
Lapham OF Mi9nehaha Flats, who ha. iust
returned from a respecting trip in Gna
County, renorts that one of the richest
strikes in the Territory has recently been
made in the Sierra Ancha range, thirty
miles east of Payson. The original locator
of The claim is Ned MCGOWAN, who came
out 10 the Territory several years ago as
a Government scout.
Mr.. Lapham says that the sight OF Nc
Gowan's ore dazzled him completely.
Lapham saw the stripping of the ground
and the horning of the rock, which, he
says, yielded fabulously in the yellow
metal, for the entire distance of thirty
feet across the lead.
There has been very little excitement
over the discovery so far, on account OF
its isolated condition and the fact that
MCGOWAN has kept its existence as secret
as possible, SO that he could perform his
assessment work uninterrupted. The n W
find is known as the Accepted Group. Ii
was located through the agency of a
float" about the size of marble, which
McGowan traced to it's ledge.
McGowan is a peculiar character, OF
rather theatrical appearance, with flowing
locks and strange attire. No one ever
credited him with being much of pros.
pector, but those who have seen his claim
say that he is now a million aire beyond
all doubt.

san JOSE WIDOWS SUIT.
Mrs. Sarah G. TuHy Seeks Judgment for
Portion of Her Late Hgs-
br1d'e 8 ;Jote

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 1.-The trial Of
suit involving the title Of property
valued at $240 coo was begun here to-day.
Sarah g. Tully, widow OF John Iully, Is
the plaintiff and her six step-children are
the defendants Judgment Is asked for
one third of 1868 acres OF farming land
situated about five miles east of this city.
There is an interesting history con-
nccted with the case. In 1884 John Tully,
then a widower. advanced in years and
the father OF six living children, was mar
ried 10 Sarah G. Martin, who was both
young and accom- plished. 1t was not long
before the young wife began a suit for di-
vorce, based on charges of intidelity and
extreme cruelty, and then Tully made a
deed conveying all OF his property to his
six children.
In May, 1886, Mrs. TulIy was granted a
divorce and The court further found that
the Iced was void a. far as 1t applied to
the rightful share of the second wife.
Within a month after the divorce the
couple remarked, the second union last
ing until the death of Tully, which oc-
CURED Novem Der 20. 1894. The couple had
three children. Two months before his
death Tully decided third of his lands to
IS wife, but subsequently made another
deed, conveying all his property, includ-
ing the One-thlrd mentioned, TO the chill
dren by hls first wife. On the death of
Tully the first wlfe's children laid claim
TO the whole of the estate, and the suit
which is now on trial was the result.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 1.-THE

who rent houses and rooms to be used by

they do not oust their tenants who are
running lotteries they will be arrested and
prosecuted for violating the law. This
action is creating quite a sensation, for
many of the persons threatened with ar

prominent citizens, and they are ex-
pected to resist the police. The arrest of

address on presenting her Majesty 10 the
the spectators. Daniel Williams, May
OF Lakeport, presented her with the town
key and placed the government therof in
her hands. Miss Lloyd, a San Francisco
elocutionist, then delivered a recitation
written by herself for the occasion.
The afternoon was set aside 10 bicycle

SAN DIEGO CAL, June 17.-About
10 80 O. clock this morning party of Mex.
ican laborers were engaged clearing a
small plat of ground about twenty rod
southeast of the railroad depot at Tia
Juana, sixteen miles southeast of this city,
when their attention was attracted to one
of the dogs, who was seen shifting about a
large sage ebrush in a peculiar manner.
The Mexicans investigated and found
concealed under the bush the partially
decomposed body of a negro, which was
afterward identified as being that of one
Cameron, a colored waiter of this city.
An Indian who happened along about
tn at time was induced to investigate more
closely, and he discovered revolver ly-
ing by the mans side and papers of iden-
titication in his POCKET. The revolver had
one cham ber empty, and hole in the
body just over the heart gave T. e cause of
death palmer than words could have done.
Before long other persons were found who
could Identity the body. A survey Of the
spot was then made when it was discov-
cred that the body lay just twenty-five
feet south of the line between this country
and Mexico.
This is not great distance, but it was
enough 10 take the matter out of the
jurisdiction of the Unired States officers
so grave was hastily dug and the body
rolled over and into II.
No inquest was held, but the general
verdict of those who have investigad is
that it was a case of suicide. Cameron
had been IN bad health and was very de-
spondent. Three weeks ago he went to
Tia Juana Hot Springs, just across the
line, and three days ago lett there, saying
he was coming home. This was the last
seen of him alive

SOCORRO, N. Mex, June 17.-News
reaches here of the discovery of an i'm
mense cave near Fort Stanton, on the Rio
Bonito, that, from its description, rivals
anything of its kind in the Southwest.
Several parties claim to have explored the
cave for distance OF over five miles with
out finding a rear terminus. At a dis
tance of two miles from the entrance
there is a lake of pure. still water, on the
margin of which were found the remains
of several Indian canoes in q state of de-
cay. Their condition bespoke the age OF
many centuries tor them since they had
been used.
Rose Anderson, one of the stage-drivers
from Tularosa to Fort Stanton, declares
that he has penetrated the cave for a dis
tance of about three miles, and that at
places he found its height over 100 feet
and its width from 20 to 100 feet He says
there are indications that the cave was
once the source of an underground river.
