LEAGUERS AT FRISCO.
City Invaded by Thirty Thousand
 Christian Workers.


 San Francisco, July 19.-The fifth international convention of the Ep- worth league was opened yesterday un- der the most suspicious conditions. The weather was ideal, and the attendance equaled the most sanguine expectations.
 The scene at the .Mechanics' pavilion, where the principal exercises of the day were held, was one not soon to be for gotten. Never i'll it's history has the spacious interior of the pavilion pre- sented more impressive spectacle, and every unsightly inch of wall was hidden by tasteful decorations.
 Great volumes of music from human throats and the accompaniment of the Stanford organ inspired feeling of rev erential admiration and homage The railroads had virtually fulfilled their promises and landed the last of the eastern delegates here in time for the in- troductory services.
 The great army of invasion of 30,OO0 men and women in the rank and file had been provided for in manner most gratifying to all.
 In the morning communion was served in three of the largest churches ill the city, which, however, were entirely too small to accommodate the throng which sought admission. By noon the vast in-
 
 terior of the Mechanics pavilion, capa- ble of containing over 15,000 people, was filled with mass of humanity which moved slowly and good naturedly along the aisles, stopping at frequent intervals to examine and partake of California fruit, for with lavish hospitality almost everything had been provided without cost for the visitors.
 When the convention proper was call ed to order by Rev. Thomas Filben of Pacific Grove, not vacant space was to be seen from the grand organ to the farthest gallery tier of chairs. After service of song led by Robert Husband and participated i'll by the chorus of 2.CO0 General Secretary Rev. Joseph F. Berry read a number of congratulatory messages from prominent men through out the Union. President Mckinley said:
 T have much pleasure in sending to the international Epworth league convention assembled at San Francisco my hearty congratulations upon the good work the great body of Christian men and women which it represents has accomplished in the past and my earnest wish that even greater success will crown the future eff forts of the league"
 Vice President Roosevelt worded his message as follows:
 ''Heartiest greetings and may good luck attend tho Euworth league in it's efforts for social and civic righteousness" :"

A PecuIiar Phenomenon.

LOS ANGELES, July 19-Following the earthquake shocks that visited this coast last week, a peculiar phenomenon has developed in the waters of the Pa cifc Within a distance of 65 miles along the Los Angeles county shore line the salty waters, heretofore clear and of the usual greenish color, have become a terra cotta red. This color line extends -offshore for several miles and is so dis tasteful to the fish family that they have gone into the ocean to seek clearer waters. At night this colored sea water gives off a hosphorescent light. and as the long lines of waves roll, toss and strike the beaches they cast reflection that en- ables one to read average print. At cer- tain points along the beach the water has t1lrned sweet

Brooklyn City Employee Loses Hand
 by Infernnl Machine.
 NEW YORK, July 19.-The Brooklyn police have q remarkable case on their hands. An internal machine sent through the mails to John J. kletchka, an em- ployee of the board of public improve ments, blew up and severely injured Ed gar Schroeder, who is employed in that department as draftsman.
 When the package was received, Schroe- der tried to open it for his fellow em- ployee, and it exploded, carrying away the mans hand. The first theory of the police was that the internal machine was the work of a woman who had a grudge against Kletchka. After careful in quiry, however, they arrested q fellow employee of Schroeder and Kletehka and lodged against him a charge of assault in the second degree,
 This prisoner is Benjamin Rosenbloom of 38 Willoughby street, graduate of Rutgers college, class of 1898. Kletchka told the police that he and Rosenbloom were on very bad terms. The police had the postoffice experts examine some ac- count books kept by Rosenbloom, and these experts declared that the hand writing on the package resembled that in Rosenblooms books. The police say that Rosenbloom's family are exiled Russian nihiliStS

Pierre LoriIlard,s wtIl.

TRENTON, July 19.--The Pierre Lor- illard will was admitted to probate by di- rection of Ordinary Magic without con test. no caveat having been filed by the next of kin. This would seem to indicate that some arrangement has been entered into between Mrs. Lorillard and Mrs. Ali lien respecting the Rancocas stock farm. Rumor here has it that Mrs. Lorillard will eventually secure the farm and that Mrs. Alien will accept in lieu thereof the equivalent in cash. The same rumor says that Mrs Alien knows that the cost of maintaining Rancocas exceeds S1o,OOO annually and that she prefers the present cash value of the farm.

San Francisco, July 19.-The work of counting the gold coin in the mint has been completed by experts in charge. The amount inspected and weighed was $47.140,0O0. The coin was found intact to the dealer. and has now been checked up three times, by as many different sets of men. so that there is no possibility of error. The completion of the count sets at rest theory that the recent shortage of thirty thousand dollars at the mint was the result of miscount. Nothing whatever was disclosed by the secret service agents or superintendent Leach relative to the search for the thief.
