PIONEER EVENTS
 ARE RECALLED
First Scientific Test of Gold in California Made by pr.
 FOurqeaud.
An Interesting Jubilee Letter From the Daughter of an Eminent
 First Settler.

During the Jubilee week many letters and messages were received from loyal Californians who could not arrange their affairs so they could visit the State. An interesting letter was received by Colonel w R. Smedberg from May Fourgeaud Haskell, wife of Captain Haskell, U. s. A. and daughter of pr. Victor J. Four geaud an eminent physician of the early times in San Francisco and a welI-known pioneer of California. In writing from Fort Niobrara, Nebr., she says: Gap tain Haskell and I have been reading lately with much interest of the prepara- tions for the Golden Jubilee in San Fran cisco, and it has occurred to us that as my father and mother were among Cali fornia's pioneers. were identified with her progress and growth from early days, and cherished through their lives fondest pride in her fame and fortune. I would dearly like to recall their memories to the people of the State during the approaching anniversary. Of our little family trio that spent so many happy years in California. l am the sole survivor. and am too far away to give personally to this matter the attention I would like"
 Mrs. Haskell incloses a copy of the resolutions in memory of her father, which were adopted by the California tribute is signed by Arthur B. Stout, Alexander Campbell and Emil V. Sutter. The fact is mentioned that In the organ ization of the Society of California Pio- neers the name of Fourgeaud stands sixth on its record. October If, 1S47, just six months after he had left his first camping ground near Independence, Mo. pr. Fourgeaud landed at the foot of Clay street a few yards below Montgomery street.
 The resolutions adopted by the Pioneers embrace this interesting paragraph:
 Tn the latter part of March, lS4S. Dr Fourgeaud received from General Sutter a small specimen of what was supposed to be gold with the request that he should test 1t. He pronounced 1t pure metal. tested in California. They endeayored to keep this discovery d profound secret but fin a short time it was rumored in San Francisco that large amounts of gold had been found in the neighborhood of Sutter's mill. These reports received little credence until the first sacks of the pre- cious metal were brought down to pur- chase merchandise with. Two weeks af- ter this San Francisco was almost de- serted. Men, women and children rushed to the 'placers.'"
 In the California Star of April 1 1S4S pr. Fourgeaud published an extended ar ticle on the Prospects of California '' His vision of the future was almost prophetic
 The dream of Nina. published in the Californian of December S. IS47 was a vision which came to the wife of pr Fourgeaud- It was a dream picture of San Francisco in 1876 as a great metropo- lisa city of lofty buildings, beautiful streets and magnificent residences.

MAY SOON BE UNITED Two Christian Churches With Only One
 Pastor. A Committee Now Seekinq a Site on Which to
 Build. Rev. Davis Resignation May Lead to the Formation of One
 Body.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
 9OS Broadway. Jan. 29.
 Another effort is to be made to unite the two Christian churches in this city. The resignation of Rev. Edwards Davis has left matters in such a condition that consolidation is said to be not only possible but desirable. There has been no pastor secured to preach to- morrow at the Central church, and the Rev. MT. Davis announcement last Sunday night that pr. c. H. Garrison would occupy the pulpit has caused a little feeling between the Central and First churches. Dr. Garrison has no idea of preaching in the Central church tomorrow night, having been pre- viously invited to preach at the First Christian Church, and he is at a loss to understand why MT. Davis should have announced him at the Central church.
 Elder Kennedy of the First Chris tian Church said to-day that a large majority of both churches would like to see a consolidation. which would mean one strong church instead of two struggling ones.
 We have few thousand dollars in our building fund" said MT. Ken
 
 for site on which to build. A few months ago the two churches were nearly united. but the plan was blocked by the efforts of few friends of MT. Davis. A majority of the First Church and a great portion of the Central were in favor of union, and since Dr. Butler has come to the First congregation this feeling has strength ened. So far as I can see. the only ob- jection to the, union would be that the Central Church should pay off it's debts of about $500 before we join hands, as it would not be fair to saddle that obli- gation upon our members. The Cen tral Church claims 300 members we have 250, and, consequently, with a new building and by encouraging the spirit which seems to have come with Dr. Butler. we could soon have a first class, strong church, out of debt and doing a good work
 pr. Garrison is said to be one of the few men who ever made any money out of a religious publication. He did this in the East and now he has pur- chased the Pacific Christian, the organ of the Christian church on this coast, 1 and will at once assume its editorship.

General Doane was noted for his cool ness, clearness and decision of character ItNfs said that to his efficient administra- tive abilities San Francisco was indebted that anarchy was not permitted to run it.
 Coming to the city from New Orleans. he was supposed to be a Southerner and was approached by those of Southern sympathies with a view of securing him as leader of their cause. His loyalty to the country probably served in great degree to hold the secession interest in check and to help save California to the Union.
 General Doane served the city four years as Sheriff, was an active leader and promoter of the State Militia In it's in- fancy and was Brigadier-General of the Second Brigade at the time of his death in 1862.
 Mrs. Doane was we'll known for her many kindly acts and her deep interest in the public welfare.
 The funeral will take place from her late residence, corner Hawthorne and Harrison streets, on Tuesday next.

 Mrs. Doane's death recalls with much vividness the trying times through which the city then passed, and those who were here then can well recall the important duties which fell upon the Sheriff,

STILL UNDER
 DARK CLOUDS
L. M. HenPy's Name Connected With RumOrS Of
 Theft.
His Disappearance Cannot Be Ac- counted For and a Search
 Is Going On.

The disappearance of l.. M. Henry, the collector for the Spring Valley Water Company, becomes more mysterious as the days go by. No member of his fam fly is aware of his whereabouts, but each is of the opinion that all will be well in a few days. Just what he is up to, or where he has been for the past week is as much a mystery to them as to the de- tectives and the members of the com pany. Lorenzo Henry, a brother of the missing man. stated last evening that his brother had given 10 intimation of his going, but he thoroughly believes that not even a 10-cent piece will be missed when the books and accounts are finally checked up.
 It was rumored that Henry had left the city, but no proof has as yet been found. The fact that he was frequenter of the race course does not seem to have any effect on the case, as it has been already stated by members of the company that 1t would have been impossible for Henry to be in the company's debt for more than two days collections, but as a mat ter of precaution they will check up ac- counts for the past two or three years.
 The Pacific Surety Company which is on the bond of the collector. is not alarmed at his absence, nor has it been asked to make good the agreement of the bond It will not be known for a day or two what will be developed by the checking of the accounts which were cOHlTolleu Dy IISitiy. LS HuOSl HlySieIl- ous portion of the affair seems to the public to be the secrecy maintained by the company which has lost it's collector. Chief Clerk Booker is the only employe who has the slightest idea of the stand ing of affairs, and he has been sworn to secrecy. A diligent search is still going on for the missing man, and the rumor which had gained ground that he had made away with himself while despond- ent from drinking is ridiculed by both friends and family.
 After the accounts have been thorough ly investigated if a shortage is discovered the Pacific Surety Company will be held to the agreements of the bond, which was given for $2500.

JUDGE AND RYAN.
Both Are in Training for Their Con.
test on Feb. 2.

Tommy Ryan is training at Coney
Island for his 20-round bout with
Jimmy Judge at Music Hall, this city,
Feb. 2. Since the recent meeting be-
tween them RYAN has felt very sore
over the decisions which awarded the
fight to Judge. The majority Of those
who witnessed the contest were of the
opinion that the best man won hut
there are many who believe Ryan un-
derestimated the Scrantonian's clever
ness on tie last occasion and that
Ryan will be prepared to do better bat
tie when they next meet.
Ryan is having the advantage Of
training with Kid Mcfarland and
other men nearly as good. He has
the benefit also of one experience with
Judge and when he comes to Scranton
on Feb. , it will not be with the be-
lief that he is to meet a novice.
While Ryan is going through a pre-
paratory course of sprouts, Judge is
having the same experience. The lat
ter has been training for the last three
weeks here and in Nanticoke with
Bobby Dobbs.
Dobbs and Judge will give boxing eX-
hibitions at Wilkes Barre tonight and
tomorrow and Friday nights, meeting
all comers at their weight Judge will
be in Dobbs corner at Trenton Satur-
! day night.
