THE BRIDGE BROKE
A Lot of Horses Dumped Into the
River

STOCKTON, June S.-A telephone dis
patch from Banta this afternoon states
that the bridge over the San Joaquin river,
half mile above Paradise cut, broke down
about noon today, while band of horses
belonging to Miller & LUX was being driven
over it.
The bridge was wooden affair and its
condition had been such lately that drivers
of large bands of horses or cattle have been
cautioned to drive their bands over it well
strung out. This admonition was disre-
garded, and while the horses were crowded
on the bridge one of the spans gave way,
precipitating several of the animals into
the river, where some were drowned and
others injured or killed by the fall.

Mondays Action


Kingston, Jamaica, under date of June Sth,
as to Mondays bombardment at Santiago.
The dispatch was carried to Kingston by
the dispatch boat Premier.
1--WE had a good view of Mondays bonn
bardment. On Sunday Admiral Sampson,
In conference with Commodore Schley and
the fleet captains, decided upon lombard
ment because of the Spanish activity on
the new batteries. Monday morning was
misty with frequent showers.
when the fleet opened fire the Spanish
batteris answered promptly, though at first
feebly. Then the heavy batteries, armed
with Krupp and Armstrong guns, poured
out in storm of flame. The guns of these
forts were brought to Santiago by the Mont
serrat on her last voyage from Cadiz and
are believed to have been manned by Ger
man and French experts. The Spaniards
had boosted that no fleet could live before
them, but their aim proved poor and the
warships suffered comparatively little dam

They fought perhaps with too much eager
ness thus losing some efficiency. During
the bombardment a battery of field pieces

top to the north of Santiago opened fire with
ten mile range.
1.-The Dolphin shelled a small fort near the
beach, where Spanish troops were seen, but
no reply was made from the shore and it
was afterwards discovered that the Span
lards has mounted several Quaker guns.
Only two pieces were served east of Moro
castle and these were silenced. The Marble
head and the New ORLEANS were sent re-
spectively west and east to attack any iso-
lated Notifications. They worked inshore,
keeping their guns going rapidly during the
bombardment. A shell exploded on the
port quarter of the Vizcaya. 1t dismounted
one of her guns, damaged the rudder and
injured several seamen.

Expressman Burkhart of San Rafael Has Sad Experience With a
 Confidence Man.

SAN RAFAEL, May 5.-One of the cleverest bunko games ever played Is now a matter of ancient history, and J. A.
 Burkhart, the expressman, is left to mourn. A man who gave his name as T. J. Davis is the sharper on whose trail Constable Traynor is now camping Yes terday Davis came to w. J. Miller the real estate agent, and said he wished to rent house and bring his family here from Larkspur. Miller made arrange ments to secure one of Attorney M. F. Cochrane's cottages for Davis, who went to Burkhart and asked him to go to Lark spur at 4:30 a. m. to-day and bring his belongings here. Burkhart did so and de- partedewithout any breakfast, after lend ing Davis S5 on his representation that $20 would be paid for the express work Davis explaining that his wife had ali his money. When Burkhart reached Larkspur he sought everywhere for Mrs Davis to give her note from her hus- band, explaining that Burkhart must he given his breakfast and $20 The note was signed Father" Mrs. Davis proved to be will-o -the-wisp, and the express man returned to San Rafael a madder and anger increased on reacn.ng home to learn that Davis had gone to Mrs Burk- hart and secured $5 on an order from her husband, evidently written in his sleep Davis was not to be found, and war rant was sworn out for his arrest and placed in the hands of Constable Tray nor, who is now searching for the willy thief Davis is a tall heavy fellow, and is said to have operated pretty thorough ly throughout the State. He Is supposed to be now in San Francisco.

fearful to contemplate. The peo- pie of Folsom are thoroughly alarmed over the present outlook, and many are preparing to leave for the summer, be- fore the epidemic, which is sure to come, arrives.
 The State Board of Health will no doubt be called upon to take some steps toward bettering the situation, and the local authorities will, in all probabil- ity, be asked to cooperate to the same end. In the meantime the peo- pie of Sacramento will be living in peril. The doctors of the city have ad- vised no one to drink water that is not boiled and many are taking that pre-. caution, but for the poor, who cannot afford to buy ice to cool the water after boiling, it is a very difficult practice to pursue. Typhoid fever is a most dreaded disease, however, and once the people are aroused to the necessity of complying with these sanitary meas ures, discomforture and trouble will not be taken into consideration.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
A TRAVELLING MAN.
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard ing the Care of the Health
 While Travelling.

Ir. R. w Wincherdon, a commer- cial traveller from Birmingham, whose business keeps him almost constantly on the road. relates in the Sunday News the dangers to health resulting from constant change of residence and the way he overcame the usual injuri- ous effects.
 He says: One thing people travelling cannot very we'll avoid is the constant change in water and food; the stomach never has an opportunity to become accustomed to anything and in a few years or much sooner the average traV- cling man becomes a hopeless dySpeptic-
 For several years 1 suffered more or less from indigestion, sour StomachS, headaches, distaste for food, often no appetite, gas on the stomach and the usual unpleasant effects of imperfect digestion.
 Nearly every travelling man has his faVorite remedy for different troubles and I tried all of them with indifferent results. Finally on the train between Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day, I overheard a conversation between two ladies, one of whom had suffered se- verely from indigestion and stated she had been completely cured by a remedy which she called Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets; I remembered the converse ton because it directly interested me. and at the next town l inquired at the first drug store ;.nd bought package TOT 0U cents, dIlQ lIOIl luf1L Qety u LIllS I have never been without them. They are pleasant tasting tablets, not a se- cret patent medicine, but composed of vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit salts and Golden Seal; being in tablet form they never lose their good Quali- ties like a liquid medicine would, but are always fresh and ready for use.
 I carry box in my pocket continu- ally, and whenever I see any symp- toms of indigestion take one. also one after each meal, and for year and a half I have not lost a day by reason of. poor health and can eat anything and relish what I eat; my digestion is ab-l solutely perfect as far as I can judge. from my feelings, and although there may be other stomach medicines just as good as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I do not know what they are. Certainly for people who travel they are far ahead of any liquid medicine. as they are so convenient, they can be carried in the pocket and used whenever needed.
 I believe they are sold by all drug gists at 50 cents, and believe any one who will try them will agree with me, that for indigestion and stomach trouble Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are uneQualed. |

Cause of the Santa Cruz Powder Explosion
 Unknown.
So the Coroner's Jury Declares in It's Verdict on the Re-
 mains of the Victims.
Three of the Mangled Bodies May Continue to Be Chased as Those
 of Spies.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTA CRUZ, May 5.-This after noon the Coroner's jury rendered the following verdict in the powder explo- sion case: Cause of the explosion un- known. Number of lives lost twelve. Bodies of Ed Gillerar and Guy Fagen identified. Bodies accounted for but un- identified eight. Unaccounted for bodies three. We further find that no blame can be attached to the managers of the California Powder Works for the ex- plosion, and absolutely have no reason to believe the same was caused by de- sign"
 The verdict still leaves the mystery surrounding three bodies as deep as ever. At the inquest to-day George Hannah and w. Huntington Jr. testi- fled to seeing Edward s. Holway, prin- cipal of the Sequel public school, and his brother at the works three-quarters of an hour before the explosion.
 w. c. Peyton, the assistant superin- tendent, who was in San Francisco, could give no reason for the explosion. He said that fire had been known to break out in gun-cotton. He was at loss to explain the detonation, for smokeless powder burns in layers. which communicates with other sub- stances. One explosion was from two cans of nitro -glycerine which were found out of one of the mills when the fire reached it. The first explosion was in small dryer Ten thousand pounds of gun-cotton and twelve thousand pounds of finished smokeless powder and two smokeless mills were burned without an explosion
 Peyton gave 1t as his opinion that but ten men were killed as no one had 1 c vol icsir1 He thought the remains of one body might be counted as two bodies.
 Coroner Clark introduced fragments of the thirteenth and gave an ana tomical lecture on them. He believes thirteen lives were lost.
 Peyton said that the floors of the mills were cleaned several times a day, so that no danger from a contact of metallic substance with dust on the floor might result.
 No more boys will be employed at the works for the present. There are fifty there now, and it is considered they are better than men for certain lines of work AS a result of the recent ex- plosion it is doubtful if the dryers will be rebuilt, as gun-cotton is to be dried by a new process. The powder con- pany was always opposed to dryers, but as the Department of Ordnance in- sisted that the drying should be done in certain way the company had to follow instructions. The drying will be done through a mixture of water and alcohol, which will greatly lessen the danger
