\ ssociated Press Dispatches. |
Chicago, Oct. 4.—The Tribune says:
The purchase of the Colorado Midland
. oad by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
> c, appears to have a greater significance
: lan has been the general impression.
; becomes more evident every day that
was not the object of the Santa Fe,
r rather the bankers who control that
oad, to crowd out the Rock Island or
ly other road which now terminates
t the eastern slope of the Rocky
H>untains. The impression is gaining
strength that the deal was consummated
\ ith the view of bringing about the
.filiation of a gigantic railway trust, or
imbination of all the roads between
hicago and the Pacific coast. The rail
>ad situation in the west is in a more
amoralized condition than ever before,
ad unless a pool or combine is speedily
• irmed, that will insure the maintenance
i high rates, many roads will be pushed
> the wall. The Union Pacific, since its
liance with the Northwestern, or
r ither the Vanderbilt combine, has
een encroaching upon the territory
•t the Santa Fe and Gould's lines
i all directions. It has obtained out
ts into Texas, 'both from Denver and
maha, and is now extending the Utah
juthern from Frisco, Utah, to Mojave,
le connection of the Santa Fe with the
mthern Pacific. Tapping the latter at
gdenjand Mojave, the Union Pacific-
C orthwestern combination would stand
.vincible and be able to control nearly
• 1 the California traffic, by encompass
ig an alliance with the Southern
I acific. To spoil such a game seems to
aye been the object of the Santo. Fe
people when they secured control of the
( olorado Midland lines. If they secure
le Denver and Rio Grande Western,
. ley will have a line through to Salt
1 ake city and Ogden, where they can
■ ;taliate against the Union Pacinc
orthwestern combination if the
.tter attempts to show fight
i Mojave. The issue is nothing more
!or less than a test of strength between
the bankers, aided by Jay Gould and
nearly all of the other western roads,
against the Union Pacific-Vanderbilt
combination*, and until that issue is de
cided, an improvement in western rail
road affairs cannot be looked for.

MALIGNANT DYSENTERY.
An Awful Plague in a Filthy New Jer
sey Village.
Hamburg, N. J., Oct. 4. —In this vil
lage, with a population of 500, there
have been no less than 45 cases of
malignant dysentery within the last
two months, and many of the inhab
itants in a little hamlet near by have
suffered with the plague and nine have
died. But in Hamburg, where the
disease originated, its ravages have
been greatest. Twenty deaths have
occurred. A doctor says it is
• unmistakably a plague of epidemic, con
tagious dysentery. Others believe the
disease is a species of cholera, such as
was predicted would follow tiie general
epidemic of "grippe" last spring.
There is a foul pig pen in the village on
the edge of a pond, and within ten feet
of a large cemetery. For years it has
not been cleaned out, and offal has been
accumulating all this time.
AERIAL NAVIGATION.

of the Aerial Ship company,
with a capital of $20,000,000;
that immense works will be at
once erected, and. the building of air
ships and cars began; that the first will
be ready inside fit sixty days; that it will
be perfectly controllable; that with it
a trip around the world can be made in
five days.
HOPEFUL SAINTS.
Revelations Received Direct From Jos
eph Smith and Brlgham Young.
Salt Lake City, Oct. 4. —The Mormon
semi-annual conference was opened
today by George Q. Cannon. Elder
Roberts spoke of a revelation to come
from President Woodruff, and said 1890
would rank as an epoch in the history of
the church. President Woodruff then
came forward and said the Lord would'nt
reveal time, but he had talked twice re
cently with Joseph Smith in the spirit,
and the purport of it waa that the bride
groom was about to mate the bride. He
had also talked behind the veil with
Brigham Young, and was encouraged
greatly. Apostle Richards said the
kingdom was.to, advance more rapidly
than ever, but the Son cf Man
and his angels would not come
on earth until Jerusalem was rebuilt.
The saints should study the Scriptures
more, and then the young men would
see visions and the old men dream
dreams. Apostle Thatcher advised the
saints to prepare for 1891. They
had prospered greatly of late,
and that made him fearful. "What
we need is persecution and plenty of it."
He expressed full belief in AVoodruff's
conversations with Joseph Smith and
Brigham Young. The time is coming
when this country will again engage in
strife between labor and capital, and
the Mormon question will be forgotten
for the time, then the people
will flee from all parts of the laud to
Utah, and the Mormons will welcome
them and will establish here a true re
publican form of governmentswith dem
ocratic principles.

Anti-Socialist Laws To Be Replaced

Associated Press Dispatches. |
Berlin, Oct. 4.—-[Copyrighted, 1890,
by the New York Associated Press.]—
The lapse of the anti-socialist laws has
led to a renewal of the discussion re
garding Empeior William's attitude
toward the socialist question. The
Cologne Gazette repeats that the em
peror and all his ministers, with the
exception of Bismarck, desired the con
tinuance of the special act, and were
ready to accept a permanent act in the
form offered by the National Liberals,
namely: without the power of expul
sion, but Bismarck disagreed and the
Reichstag in consequence dissolved. The
emperor himself, says the Gazette,
would never voluntarily have dispensed
with the act. At the same time the
emperor views the death of the laws
without regret, confident of his ability
to solve the social problem without
them by means of remedial legislation,
depriving the party of discontent of
their most serious grievances.
The tone of most of the socialist meet
ings the past few days was one of equa
tion, but all were orderly. A great meet
ing waa held at the Brock brauerei. The
men present appeared to belong to the
intelligent working classes. They were
accompanied by their wives and
families. Several speeches were made.
A sheet entitled: "Farewell to the So
cialist Law," explaining how Christian
ity might have been destroyed in its in
ception if the Jewish and Roman author
ities had only imitated the Russian po
lice and dissolved every meeting of its
founders met with a large sale.
Herr Bebel declared in an interview
that his party would meet the govern
ment's remedial bills on their merits.
It is notable that at the Berlin elections
for delegates to the coming eocialist
congressAt Halle, all the men
the moderate section of the party. A
large restaurant has been purchased at
Erfurt, and another with a large hall
I for meetings attached, will be bought
shortly to assist the propaganda; know
ing that the repeal is only an experi
ment, the party will avoid giving oc
casion for a renewal of coercive laws.
The emperor is bestowing especial
attention to the schemes which the gov
ernment is preparing for the reform of
the rural local government, and the
national school system, as well as upon
the project of direct taxation. The far
reaching proposals of Miquel, minister
of finance, for the collection of au in
come tax, will, it is estimated, raise the
amount collected, 25 per cent. The
North German Gazette, commenting on
the Kaiser's reception in Austria, gives
a hint which appears to confirm the
renewed rumors concerning a new com
mercial treaty with Austria. The fact
that the Austrian ministers were not
present at the railway station in Vienna
to meet the Emperor AVilliam on his
arrival there, is much commented on in
connection with the Dreibund, but it is
officially declared that their absence had
no political significance. Emperor Wil
liam having ignored him last year,
Count yon Taafe purposely absented
himself.
Terrific storms are reported in Schles
wic and the East Sea provinces. Hail
ruined crops and smashed thousands of
windows in Elmshorn, which was
flooded by. the sea. Numerous houses
were unroofed and many inhabitants in
jured. At Danzic a tramcar was over
turned and several occupants crushed to
death. Many shipwrecks attended by
loss of life are reported.
The editor of the Mayence Yolks Zei
tung has been arrested for ridiculing
the celebration of the battle of Sedan,
and eulogizing France.
Cardinal Hergewtothen, the Catholic
historian and champion of the Vatican
decrees against Dollinger, died today at
Meheran monastery.
The clergy of Treves have denounced
lawn tennis as unbecoming for German
girls.
FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
The French Admiral Concludes a Treaty
With the King of Dahomey.
Paris, Oct. 4.—Admiral Cuverviile has
telegraphed to the government that he
has concluded a treaty of peace with the
king of Dahomey, and has raised the
blockade. According to the terms oi
the treaty the king will respect the
rights of the French as to the possession
of Kotonon, and will also recognize the
French protectorate over Porto Novo.
Dockmen's Working Hours.
London, Oct. 4. —At the session of the
Dockmen's congress today, a resolutiou

work.
Holland's Sick Monarch.
The Hague, Oct. 4.—The condition of
the King of Holland shows no signs of
improvement. He is constantly con
fined to his bed. He suffers from in
somnia and can take no nourishment

A Wheel Record Broken.
Boston, Oct. 3. —A twenty-five-mile
bicycle road race, under the auspices of
the Boston Athletic association, today,
was made interesting by the
breaking of the amateur record
for that distance, by W. Van
Wagoner, of the New York Athletic
club, in 1 hour, 26 minutes and 55 sec
onds, who was started from a scratch.
The best previous time was that of A. A.
McCurdy, at Walthem, in 1886, but to
day's time was fully five minutes lower,
and made over a muddy road.
Chicago Stables Sold.
Morris Park, Oct. 4. —The well
known Chicago stables, at one time the
most powerful racing stables in Amer
ica, went out of existence this morn

MAYOR POND'S GRAND RECEPTION
AT SAN BERNARDINO.

Del Valle Will Astonish the Natives.
San Bernardino, Oct. 4.—[Special]—A
reception was given to Mayor Pond to
day, on his arrival here from San Diego,
such as is seldom given a man before
the people for public office. The town
was wild with enthusiasm, and to-night
the opera house, where Pond, Coleman
and Byron Waters appeared to discuss
the issues of the campaign, was crowded
to suffocation. Mayor Pond was lustily
cheered throughout his speech, and the
remarks of Messrs. Coleman and Waters
were also applauded to the echo. From
to-night's indications, it is apparent that
if Col. Markham expects to get any votes
in the home of Waterman he will have
to set more potent agencies to w©rkth*n
hie "hypnotic hand." Pond and Del
Yalle will poll a vote here in November
that will astonish the natives.

Louis Falkman, chemist and mining ex
pert, has just returned from a profes
sional trip to the onyx mine of Yavapai
county, Arizona. He says Onyx occurs in
soveral localities in this state. Heretofore
however, the main supply has come
from Mexico, where a wealthy syndicate
has control of it. The Arizona deposit
which I have just examined is certainly
one of ihe greatest natural curiosities of
the coast. The onyx lies in solid and
continuous layers, whose thickness varies
from ten. to twenty feet. They appear to

His Tarry Coat.
Associated Press Dispatches. I
Stockton, Oct. 4. —James Herrington,
the land lawyer who was tarred and
feathered at Bakersfield, a few days ago,
is in the city with his wife. His story
is that shortly before he was tarred and
feathered he received warning that
there was a plot against him. He was
arrested at Selma by a deputy sheriff,
on a charge of perjury, for the purpose
(so he asserts) of getting him back to
Bakerefield and in the hands of
his enemies. Within a half hour
after being incarcerated in
the Bakersfield jail, masked men came,
entered his cell and tried to overpower
him. He fought hard, and one of
the men shot at him. The ball entered
his side. The man dropped the pistol,
and Herrington seized it, but another
man stepped on hie hand and he had to
let go of the weapon. They then carried
him out of town, tarred and feathered
him and turned him loose. He traveled
fifteen miles in the sparsely settled
country, with his feet torn and bleed
ing, and finally saw an acquaintance
coming along the road in a wagon. This
man drove home with him, stopping on
the way to get some sacks to serve as
clothing. Herrington says he has no
idea who his assailants were. The bul
let in his side was not extracted until
tonight.

tbe family vault in Laurel Hill cemetery.
The remains of the four-monthG old
son of Percy Williams, who died last
February, were remoyed from a vault at
Rural cemetery today, and will also be
conveyed to the Laurel Hill vault to
morrow.
Williams' slayer is about twenty-five
years old, of medium stature, dark
complexion and good address. He is
an all round sport and gambler, who
deals faro, who follows fairs and when
no other occupation is open,drives hacks.
A few years ago he lived in Tulare, and
about a year and a half ago had an
altercation with John Meech, now a real
estate dealer of Fresno, and was shot in
the leg by Meech. Smith, however,
after receiving the wound disarmed
Meech and gave him a terrible beating.
He was suspected of being impli
cated in the Pixley train robbery, but
evidence sufficient "to warrant his arrest
could not be obtained. The suspicion
arose from the fact that on the day fol
lowing the robbery, Smith had a pocket
full of gold, but he declared that it was
insurance money on his house which
had been destroyed by fire sometime be
fore.
Potatoes Nipped by Frost.
