CITY KEEPS AGREEMENT
George H. PeII Presented With 6
Fatted Calf on Behalf of City
of New Rochelle, N. Y.
(Herald Specially

New Rochelle, N. Y, June PA
unique and amusing ceremony was
witnessed today by a large crowd of
New Rochelle citizens gathered at
the Bronx Manor House, which is the
residence of George H. Pell. The
event of the day, and the occasion
for the ceremonies and festivities,
was the presentation of fatted calf
to Mr.. Pell on behalf of the city of
New Rochelle. Mr.. Pell received the
gift with dignified courtesy befitting
a direct descendant of Lord Pell,
who was the original owner of New
Rochelle, and thanked the mayor and
other city officials who made the
presentation.
The presentation of the fatted calf
to Mr. Pell marked the revival of an
old custom. When Lord Pell sold the
six thousand acres now comprising
the city of New Rochelle to the
Huguenots in 1858 for about $500 he
thought that he had made such a
good deal that he threw in another
100 acres for a church, on condition
that the Huguenots would every year
thereafter present to him or his heirs
or assigns forever on st. Johns day
one fatted calf. The Huguenots kept
their word for many years, but final
ly allowed the custom to lapse. Re-
Gently at the unwilling of a Huguenot
monument Mr.. Pell met the mayor of
New Rochelle and jokingly reminded
him that the fatted calf had not been
given for many years and that this
year he would make a demand on the
city for the veal. The mayor laid the
matter before the board of aldermen.
who promptly decided to buy calf
and present it to Mr.. Pell with appro-
pirate ceremonies.

FORT WORTH BOY DROWNED.

Fort Worth, Texas, June 23.-In
view of a crowd which lined the
Clear Fork of the Trinity river and
watched from the bridge near the
City Park, 9-year-old Clarence Sales
fell from tree into the swollen
stream late this afternoon and was
drowned. Men, women and children
were almost frantic in their efforts
to rescue the child, and only by force
was his 1S-year-old brother, Victor,
restrained from plunging into the
stream, in response to the little fell
lows call for help. Clarence was the
younger of the two sons of William
Sales, who resides near the fair
grounds. This afternoon, in company
with other children, he went to the
City Park and was on the river bank
watching the rising water. Some of
the larger boys had climbed into a
tree which leaned over the river just
below the approach of the dam. Clar
ence followed, although warned by by
ISLANDERS of the danger, and proceeded
to climb into the branches overhang-
ing the stream. In some manner he
lost his hold, fell into the water and
was carried rapidly down stream. He
could not swim, but was buoyed up
by the swift current and kept his
head above water until swept about
two hundred yards.

Rate cutting has caused an exodus
to the north. Yesterday persons stood
in line for hours to book for passage
to San Francisco under the prevailing
low rates, and if there is no raise by
Monday the rush of business will

The feature of the day yesterday in
the lively war now on was contributed
by the Los Angeles agents of the
steam freight schooners plying be-
tween San Pedro and San Francisco.
To meet the lowered rates these
steamers will carry first class passen-
gers for $1.S5 and second class for
S1.35. OF this sum IS cents is charged
for carfare between Los Angeles and

The st. Croix, the vessel whose first
trip caused the whole trouble. sailed
northward yesterday with 242 passen-
gers. The Cascade cleared for Port

was In the early part OF Saturday
morning,
Towards noon business became
brisk and tae young lady in particular
was noticed much. In the meantime
she had gone up stairs to the millin-

hats. The millinery clerks had their
attention taken by other customers

taat the hat was missing and asked
the others il they had sold it. None
OF them had made the sale and tae
only reason left for the 1at being
missing was that it had been stolen.
OF course suspicion was immediate

stairs hoping to find der. However
she was gone.
Then one of them started around to
