games from Santa Cruz. The deciding
game of the series was witnessed by
a large crowd at Recreation Park in

pitching line in the person of Babbitt,
whose regular position has been at
short. He pitched for the last eight
innings and not a single hit was made
off him. He gave only one base on
balls, but it was to the man who made
the winning run for the opposing team.

CHAIRMAN JONES,
The Democratic National Commit
teeman Arrives at st. Iouis.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 15-Chairman Jones
of the National Democratic Committee
arrived here this evening from New
York, and went to the Planters Hotel,
where he will confer with Vice Chair
man Stone and other party leaders to-
morrow He was met by u Woodson,
member of the National Committee
from Kentucky, and the two spent some
time talking over the situation in the
Blue Grass State. Committeeman
Woodson left soon after his conference
for Cairo, ILL.,, where he will meet Will
lam J. Bryan tomorrow morning.
From there he will escort Colonel Bryan
through Kentucky on his speechmaking
tour.
Later in the evening Chairman Jones
was closeted with Vice Chairman Stone,
Chairman Johnson of the Executive
Committee, Sam B. Cook Mr.. Devlin.
manager of the Press Bureau of the
National Committee. and other promi-
nent Democrats. The time was spent
talking over the political situation and
the developments during Senator Jones
absence in Europe and in arranging the
details of to-morrow's conference.
Among other business to be transact
ed at to-morrow's conference is the
transfer to Chairman Jones of the af-
fairs of the National Committee. which
have been in the hands of Vice Chair
man Stone. 1t is believed that the Dew
lin fight that has been engrossing the
Democratic faction in Illinois will come
up and be settled by some action on the
part of Chairman Jones and his asso-
ciates.
The matter of raising funds with
which to carry on the national cam
paign will consume much of the atten-
tion of those present tomorrow. Sam
B. Cook having that matter in charge,
has several plans to present and these
will receive careful attention.
Senator Jones. when seen at the
Planters Hotel said: THE Democratic

party will, in my opinion, stand on all
national issues in 1900, precisely where
it stood in 1896. None of the issues
for which it held out at that time will
be abandoned in 1900. Since that time
some other great questions have arisen
and are demanding attention from the
people of the United States. The sub
ject of imperialism and of the control
of trusts by the Federal Government
are the chief of these, and l am of the
opinion that they will play paramount
part in the campaign of 1900. Which
of these questions will be chief depends
on the people. Both are material and
both will be put to the front by the
Democrats in 1900. Bimetallism is as
imperative an issue as then, and it will
not be abandoned by the party"

tember 18th for Cape Nome with a crew
of rs officers and men and 20 passen-
gers. She carried a. full cargo of gen
eral merchandise, hay, lumber, 36 head
of cattle and 130 sheep. She encoun-
tered rough weather from the start,
and just before 8 o'clock on the morn
| ing of September 18th was driven by
wind and current into Shoal water in
Active Pass, but after brief detention
she resumed her voyage. Being loaded
deep, the waves broke over her bow
again and again, and by the time open
sea was reached it had become so seri-
Gus that she was forced to turn back
and take the inside passage to New
Metlatkatlah, where the thirty tons of
| lumber and fifty tons of coal were put
ashore, thus lightened she proceeded
| to Dutch Harbor, which was reached
September 25th.
The Laurada left Dutch Harbor Sep
tember 26th, encountering continued
stormy weather. On September 9th,
it was discovered that a leak had been
started forward by the pounding of the
seas. This increased rapidly, and soon
it became evident the pumps would not
much longer keep the vessel afioat. She
began to gradually settle by the head,
and the only hope of safety now lay in
reaching the Pribyloff or Seal Islands,
the southernmost of which, ST. George
is barely 225 miles from Dutch Harbor
At 2:30 .. IN. September 2Sth, Cap
tain White, after having skirted the
eastern shore of st. George Island and
finding it impossible to make a. safe
landing, ran the now sinking Laurada
ashore in the shallow waters of Zapa-
dine Bay The fire in the lower CRATE
had by this time been extinguished by
the rising sea waters, and the stokers
We're wading in the fire room UP to their
knees.
On the side of the island are two
small frame salt houses used for the
storage and curing of sealskins by the
North American Commercial Company,
which has a lease of the islands from
the Government. The smaller of these
was vacant, and the crew and passen-
gers of the Laurada moved in. Pro-
visions and other necessities were taken
from the ship. All the livestock was
successfully landed.
It was on October Sd, that the Cor
win Captain Herring, which had left
cisco on September Both, sighted the
signal of distress flying from the mast
of the Laurada. Captain Herring con-
sented to receive the passengers and
crew and convey them back to Dutch
Harbor. The third mate of the Lau-
rada was left on the island to protect
the ship and cargo from being taken
possession of as derelict, and six pas
sengers remained to care for the out
fits they were unwilling to abandon.
The Corwin's store of provisions was
replenished from the abandoned vessel,
and the cutter made sail for Dutch
Harbor with a total of 135 persons on
board, arriving in the afternoon of
October 4th. Her Laurada passengers
were provided with blankets, and made
as comfortable as possible. The mail
carried by the Laurada was also
brought back by the Corwin, and will
be forwarded by the next available
steamer north bound.
The Laurada was built in England,
and became famous shortly before the
outbreak of the late Spanish-American
was as a flibuster and successful
blockade runner.

IT'S A SERIOUS CHARGE
Toomey Is Accused Of Purloining
His Wife's Will,
HAS ASKED FOR LETTERS
The Accusation Is Made by Mrs. Gar
rity, Sister OF the Deceased.
She Asserts That VIII
Was Left.

Another contest over an estate was
commenced in the district court yester-
day, in which allegations of rather
serious character are made against one
OF the parties in interest The estate is
that OF Mrs. Kate Toomey, who died
on the 4th of the present month, leay-
ing cash and property to the value of
about $500. Her husband. D. l..
rooney. applied to the court for letters
OF administration on the estate and in
ms petition he stated that due search
ana inquiry had been made to ascertain
If Mrs. Toomey had left a will, but that
none could be found and that to the
pest OF his information and belief she
dled interstate. The application for let
tiers was set for hearing before Judge
Lindsay Eext Saturday.
Yesterday Annie r. Clarity. a sister
OF Mrs. Toomey. filed objections to the
issuance of letters to Toomey for vari-
Gus reasons. She says that on the 18th
OF last September Mrs. Toomey. being
at the time of sound and disposing
mind and memory, made will which
was In the possession Of Mrs. Della
Pitts up co the Sd of October and which
is now in the possession of Toomey,
the applicant for letters of administra-
ton, although he has represented that
the deceased died without making a
will. Mrs. Clarity further alleges that
Toomey is wholly incompetent to exc
cute the duties of administrator of the
estate by reason of his want Of under
standing and integrity. 1t is alleged
that he has endeavored to conceal the
will of the deceased and that he took it
out OF the desk of Mrs. Pitts without
her leave. 1t is also charged that some
three hours after the death of his wife
Toomey compelled by force, Mrs. Pitts
to give him a certificate of deposit on
the banking house of w. A. Clark &
Bro. for the sum of $1,000 belonging to
Mrs. Toomey. The contestant asks the
court to vacate the setting of Toomeys
application for letters.

is NEARLY At AN END
Finish in Sight of the Pennsyl-
vania Mining Case.
LAST OF THE EVIDENCE
Will Be Put In To-Day-Argument Is
Will Begin Friday Morning
Side Is Limited to Four
Hours.

! The big Pennsylvania mining case,
which has been on trial before Judge
Clancy continuously for nearly two
months, is nearly at ar end. 1t is
likely that to-day will see the last of
the evidence and in expectation of that
event it was decided last evening be-
tween Judge Clancy and the respective
counsel in the case that the arguments
shall begin on Friday morning. Judge
Clancy has limited the time to be &C.
cupied by the arguments to four hours
for each side. The counsel for the de-
PENDANT wanted a day for each side.
The counsel for the plaintiff would
have been satisfied with three hours
and the court fixed the time limit as
stated.
Judge Clancy has also announced
that he will visit the underground
workings in the claims involved in the
case in company with two mining engi-
neers. one of which will be selected by
each side, and inspect the formations
in dispute. The judge said that he had
never been underground and had never
had any desire to be. but that he felt
it his duty to make the trip proposed
while he also had a curiosity about the
horse between the faults.
Expert George w. Tower and Walter
S. Kelly both testified for the plaintiff
in rebuttal yesterday and their testi-
mony agreed with the testimony for the
plaintiff that had gone before.
When the case opened Judge McHat-
ton, of the plaintiffs counsel brought
up the matter of the papers offered in
evidence in the case by the defendants
counsel on Saturday. On Saturday the

TOOK A TUMBLE.
A Lesson for Young Tail End Riders on
Wagons.


Very small boys in Butte delight to
swing under the tail gate Of flying
wagon and be jerked around street
corners. The pastime is exciting
enough and at times thrilling enough
for the most daring youngster Yes
terday a 7-year-old wearing a Dewey
cap, knickerbockers white cape col
lar and a broad grin, grabbed on to the
tail board Of wagon, and down
Broadway he sailed, at the same time
giving his two little playmates the
colt laugh. In front of the Bee Hive
block the hind wheels of the wagon
scooted down the street car track and
reluctantly left the smooth grooves to
follow the front wheels, but when they
parted from the rails the tail end of
the wagon and the boy separated. The
boy struck the mud and rolled up in
a conglomerate wad and gathered up
enough mud to turn the course of an
irrigating ditch. At the same time the
little boy who had just laughed cried
and went home to receive the licking
that was due.
