innumerable displays. The experience of

citizens committee and all others in any
way connected with the fair.

phOnium by (. klOtZ, the principal SoIolS'
on that instrument in the United states.
The Cakewalk was the principal event
OF the evening, and the spectators in the
galleries and on the floor Of the Pavilion

masses to obtain good view OF the per-
formers. Those who participated IN the
cakewalk were little Ollie Frost Of San
Jose and Alma Ferris of Oakland, Belle
and Cora MuddoX of Sacramento, Eugene
Coffin and Lola Frost. who won the inter-
state championship medal at San Jose,
and Frank E. Gassaway and Isabel

MURDERERS OF
DAVIS CONFESS
Robbery the Motive for
the Crime.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 6.-Kern County
Jail certainly holds the men-Francisco
Duarte and Pedro Barragan-who MUIR
dered Barber John G. Davis on October
IS, 1897. The fact developed to-day at the
preliminary hearing of Barragan.
Some time ago Duarte made a confess
he killed Davis for robbery when he was
travelling and stealing with Barragan.
To-day Duarte repeated the story in
court. John E. Malcom of Ventura
County also swore that Barragan told
him he had killed Davis. The testimony
disconnected Barragan. When the muir
gan broke down and shed tears. After be-
ing held to answer and returned to jail
Barragan went to pieces and on request
was returned to court and coolly told the
details of the cold -blooded killing. He
made out Duarte to be the instigator and
guilty one. He told how they arrived
from Hanford on stolen horses about an
hour before the killing, and after getting
whisky started away and then returned
for ropes and money. They tied their
horses near Davis home and started up
town after ropes. Then, Barragan claims,
Duarte said: We will go up the street
and the first man we meet we will hold
they met Davis, got within six feet of
him and shot him. Duarte claims that
Barragan did the shooting and divided
the booty, s. 70.
The Sheriff's office is satisfied that Bar
ragan is the guilty one and will yet own
it Sheriff Borgwardt of Kern County and
Sheriff Buckner of Kings, who worked up

VALLEY ROAD RAPIDLY
NEARING COMPLETION
STEEL FOR ALL BRIDGES NEAR
LY READY FOR DELIVERY.
Officials Make Tour Of Inspection
and Make Report on Progress
of Construction Along
the Line.

Vice-President A H. Payson, Director
F. w Van Sicklen, Director w. a. Bis
sell and Chief Engineer W. B. Storey re-
turned yesterday from a trip of inspec-
ton over the line of the Valley road as
far as Stockton.
They found the work progressing ia
vorably all along the line, and such sat
isfactory advancement has been made
that they now consider the completion of
the road to its Point Richmond terminal
by January l foregone conclusion.
While the work on the Middle River has
only advanced as far as the placing of
piles, yet the foundations for the Old
River bridge are all in place and the
work on the bridge over the San Joaquin
has advanced so far that the laborers are
now employing themselves on the super
structure, the steel for which has now
arrived from the factories of the East.
Although the factories have not as yet
delivered the orders for the steel to be
utilized in the construction of the other
two bridges, yet the first shipment is eX-
pected to arrive within the next three
weeks, and then the work can be pushed
ahead so as TO allow of them being fin
ished within a short time after the struc
ture which Is to span the San Joaquin.
Work on the new freight depot which
is to emerge from the reconstruction of
shortly be commenced, and when once
begun it will be but a matter Of few
weeks to rush II through so as TO open
offices in it and have everything ready
for the first trainload of merchandise to
arrive in this city.
The only matter experiencing any great
DELAY is the new boat to be used
on the ferry service between this city and
Point Richmond. The contract is with
the Union Iron Works, and thus far that
institution has only succeeded in com.
pIeting two boiler tubes and link of the
wheel chain So there is now no telling
the exact date or even the year that will
witness the launching of the new craft.
However, the Ocean Wave, the vessel
brought down from the Sound for that
purpose, has been put in excellent trim,
and is all ready to take care of the pas
sengers as soon as the cars of the Val
lev road shall haul them to the Point
Richmond wharf.

CREW OF THE SATURNUS
HELD BY THE FlLlPlNOS
Captured Officers and Seamen Well
Treated by the Island
Insurgents.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 6.-According to
mail advices received from Manila by
the steamer Glenogle, the officers, crew
and passengers OF the looted steamer
Saturnus are safe and uninjured at Tar
lac. which is supposed to be the rebel cap
itaI city, as AguinaldO and his staff make
their headquarters there.
States soldiers at Manila, says the cap
tIIre of the Saturnus by the Fllipinos was
the result of plans carefully laid and car
ried out by the insurgents, who were fully
aware that a. large amount OF ready ,Gii Gasn istl
and a valuable cargo was on board. Ihey
needed 'ofl' for their political machinery,
as well as for the lamps, so the cash came
as handy as the petroleum that the
steamer carried. The Saturnus was fully
insured against loss, even the rlsk OF war
in a big English company, and the Com
mania Marftarn the owners of the vessel,
will not be great losers
The prisoners were all under guard at
Tarlac, and according TO reports whic5
reached Manila were being Well treated

HE MUST ACCOUNT FOR ALL
MONEYS SHE ADVANCED.
Judge Belcher Decides That Question
able Advantage Was Taken OF
Plaintiffs Youth and
Simplicity.

Charles Coggins and his wife Mary
must give their presents back. Judge
Belcher yesterday rendered decision
canceling deeds to nearly $4,000 worth OF
property executed by Carrie E. Sankey
to her guardians, Mr.. and Mrs. Cogglns'
several years ago. Miss Sankey made the
deeds. it was proved during the trial
while under the undue influence OF her
guardians.
When Miss Sankey was but 13 years Of
age her uncle, Samuel Sankey, died in
Pennsylvania leaving a large estate Sne
inherited property worth about $40,OoV,
and as she was at that time employed IN
the Coggins household she became their
ward. Soon after his appointment as
guardian Coggins, the testimony showed,

Sankey was made to pay all the bills OF
the household under the belief that she
was compelled to do SO. diamonds were
bought and she footed the bills, and the
Coggins home was furnished in paIatlal
style. One by one her real estate mold
ings were transferred to Coggins and MS
wife and a short time ago, when Carrie
bloSsomed into womanhood, she aWoke TO
the realization that she was pennllesS.
She Immediately brought suit TO recover
all the property transferred to her guar
dian and from that time no longer lived
in the Coggins household.
Coggins and his wife contested her
action on the ground that they executed
all of the deeds in good faith and for
services rendered" Nearly ten days were
consumed IN the trial of the case, and
during that time it developed, in addition
to the fact given heretofore, that the So
called services which CogginS valued al
$4,000 were practically worth nothing. In
giving judgment Judge Belcher decided
all points of the controversy in Miss
Sankey's favor. He held that the deeds
were made under undue influence and
without consideration, and in addition to
ordering their cancellation the court
ordered the defendants to account TO the
plaintiff for all properties which have
come into their hands through purchase
