NEARBY TOWNS. A Double Killing at Red lands. The Result of Jealousy Between Mexicans. Santa Barbara's Municipal Election Over. New* Motes From Pomona—A Story of Bigamy From Santa Barbara. Huntington at Santa Monica. Bedlands, April 4.—Our city was un der a good deal of excitement Sunday, and it really bad good cause to be. About 5 o'clock in the evening an alarm of fire was sounded, and the fames soon began to shoot forth from tbe frame building known as the Clifton bouse, situated on the terrace on the corner of Orange street and Colton ave nue. After some little time the fire was extinguished by our gallant fire department. The damage did not amount to much as only the inside of tbe building and the roof were burned. Tbe burned edifice belonged to I. P. Doolittle, and was fully insured. The cause of blaze was occasioned by the explosion of a gasoline stove. About 300 people were on the secne. A MURDER. The crowd had no sooner returned from the burning ruins of the Clifton bouse than a report met their ears that a man had been murdered south of the city at the half-way house on the Ales sandro road. Upon investigation the Herald reporter learned the following fnets * Two Spaniards, one Varney Chavez, the other Vacinto Truheria, had some wordß over some woman, when Truheria drew a large knife from his hip pocket and plunged it into the cheek of Chavez. The Mexican immedi ately drew his pistol and emptied four shotß into the body of Truheria, killing him instantly. Chavez then fell against the fence and is now in a criti cal condition, with no hopes for recov ery. The coroner's jury was summoned today and pronounced the killing in self-defense. NOTES. Deputy United States Marshal James D. Faris was in Redlands today, in com pany with County Coroner Thompson. They were returning from the scene of murder at the half-way house. Mrs. J. W. Cowan and daughter of Los Angeles have apartments at the Sloan house and are under the medical treatment of Dr. E. A. Eustia, a noted physician of New York. Philip Doremus of Montclaire, N.

Miscellaneous News Notes From the Sea Side City. Santa Monica, April 4.—President C. P. Huntington of tbe Southern Pa cific railroad had only golden words for Santa Monica during his stay with us, and was more than delighted with tbe progress of the work, and stated that the contemplated improvements would be pushed with all tbe obtainable vigor and dispatch of the Southern Pacific. When asked if he or the company in tended building a new town at the Santa Monica Heights he was very posi tive in his denial, stating that not only did they not intend to build up and boom a competitive town, but to do everything within their power toward the advancement of the place. He stated afterwards to a friend while here; " Why, when last autumn we asked your board of trustees for a franchise, and further on asked from Jones and Baker a right of way along the beach, we were treated with the ut most fairness and consideration by all parties, and it would be the basest of ingratitude, besides poor business man agement, to build up an opposition business center, which we do not intend to do." The wharf, he claims, will be the longest and largest wharf in the United States, and that the other im provements will be of an equally large magnitude. In tbe meantime everything is serene in the Santa Fe camp and they are pro gressing in this work. Mr. A. P. Magin nis of tbe P. I. and L. company has let no grass grow beneath bis feet, and has quieted all grumblers and overcome all obstacles put in the way of their com ing, which I am happy to state was not done by Santa Monicans, but by non residents. Verily he is tbe right man in the right place, and in the gentleman Santa Monica has a warm friend in rail road circles. We Santa Monicans are like the proverbial street car in that re spect—having room for every new friend, while not forgetting the old— and will do our part toward aiding them in the upbuilding of the town. Following in the wake of the railroad developments are many others of a nec essary concomitant neature, such as warehouses and manufactories. Many men of large capital are getting ready to take advantage of the era of prosperity on the tbreshhold of blossoming forth at the city by the sea. Property is feel ing the influence of the improvements in course of construction. The number of vacant houses for rent are fewer than they have been for years at this season of the year, and an enter prising capitalist could make a good in vestment by building a number of small cottages for renting during the summer season, and long before its close he would find tbey would he in demand for the entire year. I believe your cor respondent could prove conclusively such to be the fact to any contractor or capitalist. Those intending to move should do so at once, as the time is get ting short. . _ President Elliott of Harvard College, during bis short visit here the other day, expressed himself very freely about the educational system of California, praising the same very much; especially was this the case with the high school system, claiming it was equal in pro ficiency to any in the land. Tbe gentle man also states the gratifying fact that graduates from our state college would only have to pass one year at Harvard to receive their degrees at a college I claim is the equal of any in the world. These golden words of encomium coming from such an eminent authority should be exceedingly pleasing to ail Californians who have the real good of our golden state at heart, for our ed ucational system is the real bulwark of our future growth. Our High school established last fall has already taken a high stand among educators, Professor Brown be ing all that the moat exacting could de sire as an educator and principal, with an efficient corps of teachers at his back. Graduates from it are admitted to the state college without any loss of time. Prayers were said Sunday morning over the remains of Dr. J. S. Elliott, who died here on Friday last; tbe re mains being placed in a vault in Los An geles to be soon taken to Minneapolis for interment. The doctor had resided here for over fifteen years? having accu mulated a fortune before becoming a citizen of the city by the sea. His residence here was the finest in the town, everything being of a princely character and built in the most substan tial manner. Rev. Geo. P. Kimball, late pastor of the Congregational church, here, preached his farewell discourse last Sun day evening, having previously tendered his resignation on account of ill health. During his incumbency of the pastorate he had won all hearts by his courteous bearing, and many hearts will be sad dened by bis withdrawing from the field of labor. J. C. H. SANTA BARBARA. The Story of a Smoothy—News and Personal Notes. Santa Barbara, April 4. —A special in the San Francisco Examiner of March 31st from this city relates a remarkable story of bigamy, desertion and all-round rascality seldom equaled even in these rapid ages. The story goes that one Walter McWalters, a smooth talker and oft-married rascal, after gaining full in formation of the record of the honorably retired Captain A. H. Nave, U. S. A., now a resident of Knoxville, Term,, at once assumed that gentleman's title and traveled around from one country to another, winning the affections of some unfortunate woman at each of his stopping places and marrying her, only to desert her when he became tired of her company. His first field of action was San Fran cisco, at which place he gained a wife and innumerable small bills. All of these he left behind when he started to Guatemala. At Sinaloa, Mexico, he stopped over for a short time and took therefrom a handsome blonde, who ac companied him into Guatemala as his wife. At Guatemala they were received royally. Society took them up and the bogus captain was soon a Ward McAllis ter. After remaining at Guatemala as long as possible, McWalters placed his handsome blonde in a house of ill-repute and left for new fields. In November the oily impersonator turned up at San Francisco and pumped tbe ever susceptible reporters full of his military tactics. Later, in December, the impersonating knave began a south ern tour, stopping at Coronado, where be got a position as night engineer at the famous hotel. He was discharged within two days, owing to his breaking a couple of thousand dollars' worth of machinery. After his discharge he wooed and won a young maiden at Coro nado. She was quite wealthy, and im mediately he began efforts to get con trol of her property, but she did not look at it in that light, and he sOon gave up the idea —also the young woman. He went to San Diego next and was courting a young bay'n'climate lady, when a victim from the western states turned up with a marriage certificate, claiming to be his wife. He immediately left San Diego, and the next place he was heard from was Santa Paula, where he met a young Santa Barbara girl who was visiting at that place. It took him but a week or two to marry the girl, and they came to tbe young lady* home in this city,where McWalters sojourned for a short time. While in this city he and his wife lived at the White house, so we learn from the young woman's rela tives, and he was a gay Lothario in ev ery sense of the word. He scraped the acquaintance of a young woman at Santa Maria and was about to marry her when his wife learned about it. She and her brothers were up in arms in an instant, & D .d, to avert bodily harm, McWalters lit out. •• It is now learned he is at his old tricks in Nevada, where he went direct from this city. On relating the story to your corre spondent a brother of the young lady gave it out distinctly that should Nave, alias McWalters, show himself in this town again there is going to be trouble. Tbe oily-tongued monster is rather tall in stature, well built, with fair skin and dark hair and eyes, has a large nose and prominent cheek bones. For some time he was a resident of Los Angeles. THE ELECTION. Tbe current oi the erection returns shows that E. W. Gaty iB elected mayor by over 100 majority, Hopkins for marshal and Davis for assessor are also elected. notes and personals. G. W. Rogers, D. P. Roberts and wife and daughters, and Miss Davis, of Los Angeles, are registered at the San Mar cas. W. L. Porter, of the Angel city, ar rived yesterday at the Arlington. Goleta, a little burg situated seven miles from this city, has been having a family row lately. Warrants were yes terday sworn out for tbe arrest of T. L. Kellogg and Samuel Manchester, both of that place, charging them with bat tery. They will have a hearing Mon day. Gaty men were last night offering to bet 100 to 80 on the people's candidate for mayor. The Press this morning made its last campaign plea. It begged its readers to look at the matter through its glasses, and vote ior its candidate for mayor, the other man is such an awfully bad crea ture, you know. It is believed a larger vote will be cast tomorrow than at any preceding munici pal election in years past. Judging from present indications Santa Barbara will be favored with beautiful weather during carnival week. The services thia morning in all the churches were well attended.

The driveway through Caßtle rock is about completed, and tiiis week work will begin on the beach road. The noon train today was fifty minutes late. The Corona arrived from the north last night, bringing fifteen passengers and sixty tons of freight for this port. Sunday a Quiet Day—An Advisory Election. Pomona, April 4.—Sunday is always a quiet day at Pomona. The churches are each well patronized, while the hills and the drives throughout the valley and Ganeuha park are reasonably thronged by those who like to commune with nature, and through nature up to nature's God. We are told that a petition was drawn up Saturday for signatures agreeing to call an advisory election to learn the sentiment of the people of the city on the question of high license or ho license, and to let each side abide the result, and carry out the wish of the majority the in matter. We understand that this movement is actuated by a de sire to harmonize the now inharmonious condition of things upon this question. The city council will meet tomorrow night, when the question of calling an election upon the division of the city will be considered. It has been in timated to us that the divisionists have lately "counted noses" in a quiet way. Whether this be so or not, they seem to be sanguine of success, while those who oppose the move are equally confident of defeating the measure. The deputy sheriff, Mr. Rowland, who summoned a venire for the Grapeland case, has transmitted his bill for the work, amounting to $325. There isajresident of Pomona,a gentle man, who is a decendant of Dr. Rich mond, one of the Revolutionary fathers residing in Rhode Island. After the revolutionary struggle, when Rhode Island repudiated her revolutionary war debt, Dr. Richmond sold out and re moved to Stonington, Conn. Here he settled and here he died, and upon his tomb today is this inscription, put there by his direction : "Here lies the body of Dr. Richmond, and of his family, who, when the state of Rhode Island re pudiated her revolutionary debt, decided that he was unwilling that the remains of himself and family should enrich the soil of the repudiating state, removed to Stonington, bought this plat of ground for a final resting place of himself and family." Hon. J. Deßarth Shorb, L. E. Mosher, E. F. Phelan and W. E. O'Neil have ap propriated the waters of Ice House canon, which puts into the San Antonio canon just above the Hog's Back. A force of men are now at work on tbe de velopment of water therein. The electric light tunnel through the Hog's Back is progressing now at the rate of about fifteen feet per day. Joseph R. Davidson, a former resi dent of this city, we are informed by some friends of his who have received notice to that effect, was a victim of the late fearful cyclone at Augusta, Kan. His house, barns and fences were swept literally away. His stock was scattered and either wounded or killed. He him self was crushed to death in the wreck of his house, as were also his two chil dren, while his wife was badly injured. The large additions to the Baptist church have been completed. Manager J. W. Lorbeer of the Armory opera house is in Santa Ana.with a view to making a date there for the Confed erate Spy. M. Baldridge of Covina was in the city yesterday. Mr. Seymour Finney of Detroit, Mich igan, father of our popular citizen H. S. Finney, arrived in Pomona Satur day, accompanied by his daugh ter, Miss H. E. " Finney. They expect to make an extended visit here. Mr. Finney is a prominent business man of Detroit and was for fourteen years a member of the city ccuncil. He is 79 years old, but is hale and hearty. Rev. J. W. Moody of South Riverside is visiting in Pomona. He says there is a mining boom over in that vicinity. Barrels and casks are now successfully turned out direct from the tree—that is, without the wood having to be cut up into numerous staves. By this method, which is known as the Oncken system, the tree stem is first sawed into lengths to suit that of the cask to be made, and these lengths are boiled for about three hours in a closed vessel, which renders the wood soft, a current of electricity being also passed through the water dur ing the boiling process. The log is taken from tho boiler to the cutting ma chine, in winch it is fixed as in a lathe and brought np against a long, broad cutting blade; tho log is revolved, the knifo automatically approaches it ami the sheet of wood passes out to the rear of the machine through an opening in the frame just at the edge of the blade, as in a plane. The sheet of wood is drawn from the machine on to a table, where it is cut into lengths suitable for the diameter of the barrel. The lengths aro taken to a grooving machine and grooved near tho edges for receiving the haad and bottom of the cask. The wood is now put into another machine, which cuts long, nar row V pieces, or gussets, out of the edges at intervals, which give the neces sary doublo taper to the cask. The sheets of wood are finally formed np into a cylinder and the first two hoops driven on by the machine, there being thus only one stave in the cask, and consequently only one joint. The sheets of wood can receive any degree of thin ness.—New York Sun. The Harvest Time of the Sunflower. The harvest time of the sunflower can scarcely be fixed, as it depends not only upon the climate, but also upon the na ture of the soil and the exposure of tho plantation. In the south and southwest of European Russia it ripens about the middle of September, further north at the end of September or beginning of October. On sandy soil it ripens about the middle of August, on black earth lands at the end of August and on low er grounds still later. From this it may be seen that the sunflower, wherever it grows, ripens later than any other corn plant, a very important fact in agricul ture, as its harvesting does not interfere with the harvesting of other crops. When the sunflower is overripe its yel low flowers wither, the stalk and the seed cup from the top become gray, all the leaves of the flower covering the seeds fall off and the seeds get hard, shoot out from the seed cup and crack open. At this time the plant should he well guarded from the birds or the over ripe seeds will soon be destroyed by them.—Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat POMONA. Barrels Without Staves. HE WAS IN DOUBT. An Exhilarating Story of a Man Who Paid HU Murrlarre Fee in Part. A clergyman waa telling anecdotes of incidents in his early life as a pastor. One of them was about a marriage cere mony which he once performed. A young man of tho country districts came to tho pastor one day. "I want to got married," he said, "and I guess I'vo got about as good a woman as thero is around this part of the state. Can you marry us?" The clergyman thought that he could, and so the young man went away and soon returned with his bride. They both took the affair very coolly, and when tho ceremony was over tho bride groom took the clergyman aside. "I don't want to drive any bargain at a time like this," ho said, "but of course I ain't sure this marriage business is go ing to prove all that I expect of it. How would half cash now, one-fourth in one month and tho rest in two months, after 1 have had a fair chance to see if I got a good bargain, suit your" " Well," said tho pastor, "if that seems fair to yon, lam willing. You seem to bo a prosperous young man. We'll say ten dollars now, five dollars in one month and five dollars in two months." "That's a go," answered the happy bridegroom, and he handed over ten dol lars. At tho end of a month he returned with five dollars more. "I ain't sure," he said, a little doubt fully, "about it yet, but Pm willing to givo you tho benefit of the doubt and to make tho second payment. "You see,'' ho added, "whilo I have my own doubts about the blessings of married life, J don't know as it's going to make much difference. I ain't just so sure as 1 was that I could get out of this thing now if 1 wanted to. She's got an opinion of her own," he said, with a faint grin; "and if sho says we have got to keep on being married I guess it'll have to go at that." "You aren't thinking of getting a di vorce, are you?" asked the clergyman. "Oh, no; at least not just yet." "Of what faults in your wife do yon complain?" "Oh, nothing in particular." "Why aro you dissatisfied, then?" "1 ain't just dissatisfied. I say 1 haven't made up my mind yet." "Why shouldn't you know one way or the other?" "Well, to tell you the honest truth, I don't believe it would do any good. I'm afraid whatever she decides will settle it." Then ho went off, looking rather puzzled over the problem. At the end of the second month there came a knock at tho door, and the pas tor himself answered it. The bride was standing there, and about five feet be hind her was the doubting husband. "My husband owes you five dollars, doesn't he?" she asked sharply. "Well," answered the pastor, with a smile, "I am not sure about that point." "Yes, he does," she said firmly. "He owes you five dollars. Henry, wasn't your bargain that five dollars should bo paid at the end of tho second month if the marriage was satisfactory?" "Yes," said the husband weakly. "And it's satisfactory, ain't it?' Henry looked at the pastor. "It's satisfactory, ain't it?" she re peated. "Y-e-e-s," said tho husband, looking down at his boots. "I thought so," cried the wife tri umphantly. "Now pay him that five dollars." The husband handed a bill to the cler gyman, and said to him in a low voice: "I ain't quite sure yet, one way or the other, but she's got me and I guess she means to hang on to me. So I'll just have to worry along till she dies or I get a chance to run away. "—New York Trib une. Chicago's Lake Traffic. Some idea of Chicago's take traffic may be formed from the statement that the aggregate entrances and clearances in 1890, for the great lakes, numbered 88,280, of which 21,054, measuring 10. --288,688 tons, were at that port. The corresponding aggregate for New York is 15,283, and for the entire seaboard of the United States, 37,756. The tonnage has nearly doubled itself in tho last ten years, and it is possible to conceive of a like increase by 1900, for 54,411 miles of railway terminate here, and in a year move 43,000,000 tons of freight. Be sides, in the central northern and north western states the total freight moved is 196,000,000 tons, a fair proportion of which goes to Europe.—C. C. Rogers in Scribner's, Big Grapevines. There is a phenomenal grapevine in Gaillac, a southern town in France. Although the plant is only ten years old, it has yielded in one year 1,287 bunches of delicious fruit. There is but one vine which excels this wonderful shrub, and that is the noted historical vine of Hampton Court, England, which was planted in 1768, and now measures forty-seven yards. In the first year of the last comet it gave from its single growth over 3,500 bunches of grapes. The fruit from this vine is kept exclu sively for the use of the table of the queen, and the surplus is made into wine for her majesty and her family.— Baltimore American. The Odor of Christians. It appears on Chinese authority that Christians can be identified by their smell. But skeptical travelers are in clined to believe, after seeing the filthy condition of Chinese towns and villages, that it is by the comparative absence of odor among civilized races that a China man can spot a Christian. By the best accounts Chinese towns are incredibly filthy, there being no pretense of sewer age, everything being thrown on the street.—Toronto Mail. The March of Science.

Tho recovery of speech by Mary Hop kins, a mute inmate of the Wayne coun ty almshouse, after being dumb over four years, has been sauced mar velous, and tho cause and cure alike have baffled physicians not acquainted with the case and given rise to many wonderful stories. Mrs. Hopkins is between forty and fifty years of age, and was sent to the almshouse about six years ago from Rose Valley. About three years latci she suddenly lost speech. James W. Robinson, tho county physician, decided that the woman was suffering from pa ralysis of tho vocal cords. He consulted Dr. Andrew F. Sheldon, an old army physician and surgeon, and decided to use an electric battery. The current was passed through the back of the neck and mouth every day. After about one month's electric treatment the matron was much surprised upon entering the mute's room one morning to be greeted by a loud "Hello" from Mrs. Hopkins. —Cor.

The young minister's en gagement to a certain pretty girl named Grace in the parish had just been an nounced after a long time, in which every other pretty girl had thought that possibly sho stood a chance of being tbe favored ouo, for the young divine was, without meaning it, perhaps a bit of a flirt. He's a little absentminded, too, and when the timo came to givo out the hymn he announced placidly, "Hymn 89, 'Oh, happy day that fixed my choice!'

Webb: Dear Sir—l have been a great sufferer from Inflammatory Rheumatism ever since I was eight years old, am now thirty-six; have tried everything under the sun but found no relief whatever until I tried WEBB'S HjEMONY. At the time was confined to my bed, could not help myself at all. I cannot begin to describe my sufferings on paper. After taking half a bottle could move myself and put on my clotbes, when the remainder was taken could go about anywhere. People here could hardly believe your medicine performed such a cure Have had several calls for it. Will cheerfully recommend It to any out troubled with Inflam matory Rheumatism. Respectfully yours. A. C. HALL, Prop. Pioneer Milk Dairy. P. B.—l wish you would send me three more bottles of your Btemony as I want to keep it by me. FOR SALE BY J. J. BUEHLER St CO. PHARMACISTS, 247 E.
