BY BISHOP HAMILTON
California Prelate Addresses Gath
ering of Methodists in
PiffShurr

PITTSBURG, Pa, May 9.-Bishop
John w. Hamilton of San Francisco
was the bright particular star at the
gathering of the Methodist Episcopal
clergymen this morning. He devoted
yesterday to the dedication Of a
church in Beaver, Pa, which was
erected at an expense of $4,000. of
Which $4,000 has already been paid
At the meeting this morning he was
called upon for an address and spoke
of the growth of the Methodist de-
nomination throughout the country.
He said that out on the Pacific Coast
the sect had been growing more rap
idly than any other, which was the
result of the systematic plans followed
in making a thorough canvass of the
people and getting them to come into
the church. He urged the brethren
here to make personal visits and try
to interest the people and get them to
attend some church, the Methodist
preferred.

Clever detective work on the part of
Detective John Freel is responsible for
the capture of A. M. Soberanes, a bur-
glar, whom the police claim to be a
dangerous man. Soon after the GRIM

night he confessed to one crime and it
is likely that several more will be
charged to him before the inyestiga-
tion is at an end. A woman, named
Annie Taylor, with whom Soberanes
has been living at the Hotel Philips

custody, but has not yet been charged
with any offense. The prisoner is be-

quest for Overhead Wires.


quest for Overhead Wires.
The Sutter-street improvements
Club has issued circular to property
owners along the Sutter-street railway
system urging them to stand firm for
the conduit system. The circular
shows from engineers reports the fall
lacy of the statements made by the
United Roads in its efforts to dispar-
age the conduit system.
The allegations that the conduit
system is impracticable in wet
weather is contradicted by j. Allen
Baker. chairman of the London Mu-
nicipal Tramways, in these words:
wet weather does not affect the
workings; it may cause more leak
age of current at the insulators. but
1T improves the contact of the con-
ductors, 80 that one effect balances
the other and the cost is the same as
overhead wiresn
The claims made by the company
that the installment of the conduit
system would reduce the speed of the
cars is also fatty contradicted Prop
erty-owners are asked not to sign the
railway company's request for an
overhead system. The Polk-street
Improvement Club takes an opposite
view.

BULLETS STOP
BOONE'S FLIGHT
Disgraced Army Officer At
tempts to Escape From His
Guards and Is Then Shot
SAY HE COURTED DEATH
Friends Of the Wounded Man
Think That He Made the
Dash With Suicidal Intent

VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash.
March 15.-Smarting under the sting of
his disgrace and suffering from an in
durable disease, former Lieutenant
Francis M. Boone, who was ordered
discharged from the United States
army on the charges of desertion, alb
sence without leave, non-payment Of
debts and conduct unbecoming an Of
ficer, to-day made a dash from his
guard, with deliberate suicidal intent,
it is reported, and before being recap
tured was shot and probably fatally
wounded.
Boone was being conducted from the
guardhouse to the garrison hospital,
when without warning he broke away
and started to run. He was ordered to
halt, but paid no attention to the COM
mand, and the guards opened fire. One
bullet out of the five fired at the prison
er took effect In the head, above the
right ear, and passed under the scalp
to a point above the right eye. Another
broke his collar bone.

from the ranks. He is said to belong
to a wealthy New York family and has
a wife and child in San Francisco.
He was assigned to this post about
nine months ago Soon after his ar
rival he left the post without leave,
going to Seattle On his return from
that city he was placed under arrest
and ordered TO remain in quarters. This
he failed, to do and disappeared for
three months lacking one day. 1t is
said that he went to British Columbia
and returned to this country and sur
rendered himself only because he was
ordered by his family in New York to
do so or suffer disinheritance. He re-
turned, was convicted by court-martial
and yesterday the President approved
the findings of the court. The Presi-
dents order affirming the action of the
court martial had Just been read to

guards.

Depot.
speeial pispatch 70 rhe can.

COLUSA. March 15.-Colusa juno
ton was the scene OF an attempted kid
naping this afternoon, and but for the
interference Of outsiders II might have
proved successful. About two months
ago Edward Brown came to Colusa and
brought with him hissthree-year-ol
boy. It was afterward learned that
Brown had left San Francisco with the
boy just as the Superior Court had de-
cided he should give him into the
mothers charge. The mother followed
every possible clew in her endeavor to
locate her lost child, and until Mon
day was unsuccessful. Then by chance
she learned that the child was with her
husbands relatives in Colusa- She ar
rived here on Tuesday and presented
to the Sheriff papers signed by Superior
Judge Graham of San Francisco giving
her the legal custody of the little one.
The Sheriff accompanied her to the
place where the boy was, and after
some trouble got possession of him. The
father, who had gone to Spenceville,
Yuba County, was notified of what
had occurred, and arrived at Colusa
last night. Instead of attempting to
kidnap the child here he waited until
the mother had started with IL for
San Francisco and intercepted them
at Colusa Junction, where he supposed
she would be alone and unprotected.
AS soon as Mrs. Brown stepped from
the car Brown rushed up and grabbed
the child from her. At about the same
time Conductor Kammerer, who had
been asked to be on the lookout for
Brown. grabbed the father and kept
him away from the frightened mother
and babe, while a citizen telephoned for
an officer. Brown got into his buggy
and drove away before the officer ar
rived, swearing he would follow his for
mer wife to San Francisco and have
the child at all odds.

SCHOONER is WRECKED.
Unknown Vessel Drifts Ashore Twenty
Miles Below Long Beach.


long BEACH. March IA two
masted schooner, her sails half furled
and lying on her side, was washed
ashore this afternoon, south of Alami-
tos Beach, twenty miles south of this
city. Those who found the wreck are
satisfied that there is loss Of life. The
vessel has not been identified, as the
sea is so rough that 1t has been impos-
sible to reach the wreck She is now
pounding upon the beach and is certain
to be q total loss
The vessel was FIRST sighted about
daylight several miles out to sea, and
as she vas evidently in distress she
was closely watched by the fishermen
along the shore Nearer and nearer the
beach she came and finally she struck
E reef off the head of the Bolsa Slough
and went under. Soon thereafter two
dogs came ashore, but if there were
men upon the vessel they could not be
seen. The craft went down so that
only a section of her masts were above
water. Believing that there had been
men upon the schooner. and that they
had been washed overheard, the beach
was patrolled, but up to dark no bodies
were washed ashore. The wrecked yes
sci was larger than most of the fish
ing schocners which are owned along
this part of the coast. From what port
she hailed will not be known until the
storm subsidies.

Half an Hour.

SAN DIEGO, March 15.-San Diego

of a cloudburst this evening between
7;35 and sos O'Clock and in the half
hour go of an inch of rain fell. The
streets were turned into rivers. Street.
car travel was interrupted because of
the water on the tracks and an i'm

from the heights into the streets and
into the bay. Low places were filled
with water and where the big storm
water fiume on B street was not able
to carry the excess of the water drain
ed from the park cellars were flooded
and in some houses the water came
over the first floor. These foods
quickly receded as soon as the rain
had ceased. San Diego received the
most of the rain, though the bay re-
gion TO the south received about half
as much. The rain of tonight makes
the total for the present storm 2.20
