A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
A Strange Couple Of Passengers on a
Southern Pacific Train

A peculiar incident occurred yesterday,
which from the mystery and circumstances
surrounding the affair, will probably take
rank as one Of the most peculiar cases on
record.
AS the southbound passenger train on
the Southern Pacific due here at 1:o0 yes
terday afternoon was about to pull out
of Lathrop, a very genteel and prepos-
sessing couple, accompanied by three chill
dren, came aboard, and quietly settled
themselves in the tourist sleeper.
Suddenly and without any warning they
manifested symptoms Of violent insanity
and, gathering the children in their arms,
commenced raving and shrieking, terrify-
ing the other occupants of the coach, who
hastily left them in solitary possession.
The strangest part of the affair is that
they were simultaneously taken with the
attack, and were possessed of the same
hallucinations, which were to the effect
that conspiracy was afoot to steal the
children. Several Intellectual attempts
were made by some Of the passengers to
pacify the woman, whose actions were not
as violent as the mans.
The couple had first class tickets from
Stockton to Los Angeles and judging from
their conversation lived in Orange.
William e. Pettes, a San Francisco COM
mission merchant, who was a passenger,
endeavored to learn something about the
couple. and asked If their home was in
Orange. The woman answered, Eyes, I
live in Orange; you know I live in Orange;
you are trying to steal my children
When the train reached Mojave the man
caught the woman suddenly by the wrist
and dragged her out Of the car, followed
by the children. Nothing further was
learned concerning the pair.
Mr.. Pettes is of the opinion that they

gencies without expressing the least re-
gret? Do you want me to go to war and
get killed? Do you want me to be exposed
to thousand mishaps by field and flood?
What do you mean, anyway?
Mrs. Blimber went on with her fancy
work.
Don't get excited, Joseph" she calmly
remarked; "there isn't going to be any
war."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

abated he would come off with only few
mind words of ceusure. the man kept out Of

A few days afterward. however. when the
storm was quite over, master and maa
came face to face in one of the hothouses
and the canon asked:
why have you avoided me in so pointed

To which the gardener very wittly re-
piled:

way and Tram company who went up to
the summit on the morning of the slide to
work are missing and 1t Is feared that they
are among the lost.
WORK OF RESCUE
1t is estimated that 10000 tons of outfits
are buried under the snow and ice. There
were several smaller slides before the
death-dealing avalanche was started.
About o'clock in the morning small slide
occurred which buried several cabins. The
alarm was spread and many people were
endeavoring to work back to Sheep Camp
when the big disaster occurred. The snow
storm was binding and the crowds were
coming down by the aid of rope when
overtaken. The exact location Of the slide
is given at two and one-half miles above
Sheep Camp and 100 yards above the Ore
gon Improvement company's powerhouse.
Here an immense gorge rises at very
steep incline into the hills, and It was
down this the avalanche came. The tele-
phone office here has been thronged all day
and night with friends anxious to get some
word of friends believed to have been in
the disaster. The wires are working we'll
and information is received here direct
from the scene as rapidly as it is gathered.

rescue. 1t Is believed that when the full
returns are in the dead will number nearer
100 than fifty. The slide covered the trail
for several hundred yards to a depth of
fifty feet in many places. 1t has effectually
blocked travel for the present, and it will
be some time before it can be resumed.
CUTTING ALASKAN RATES
SAN FRANCISCO, April S-A general
cutting Of steamship rates to Alaska has
begun. The companies operating steamers
plying between this city, Seattle and
Alaskan ports have reduced their rates
considerably. One vessel, which sailed for
Dyea yesterday, carried passengers to that
place for $50 and $40, the former rate being
$62 and $50. This cut was made to meet the
scale Of prices offered by Seattle COM
panies. Fares from San Francisco to
Copper City are reduced from $lOO and SIS
to SIS and $50; from Seattle to Copper City
from $50 and $40 to $40 and $50; from San
Francisco to Cooks Inlet from S1O5 and $50
to 500 and s65. and from Seattle to Cooks
Inlet from s95 and SIS to SIS and $50.
1t is expected that business will improve
when the trade to st. Michaels opens up.
but the most sanguine do not anticipate
a return to the old rates. In view of the
large number of vessels engaged in the
trade still further reduction is antici-
pated before very long.

yesterday by a commission consisting OF
Drs. w. G. Gates and G. w. Cole, and will
have to stand trial for the various charges
of petty larceny that the officers will put
against him. The examination was held
before Judge Smith, and though Evans re-
lated an unlikely story about couple of
travelling men having given him the goods,
the doctors did not think him insane, other
than that he is suffering from the effects
of a severe attack of kleptomania, and he
was accordingly remanded to the police.
Evans was before Justice Morrison in the
afternoon and his examination will be set
this afternoon at 2:3O, when he comes up
