Mainly through the efforts of T. W. Hine a company was yesterday organized for this purpose, and enough stock was subscribed to purchase tbe two lots on First street south of Adams, upon which now stands tbe long, rakish building which is but a combination of Chinese stores with a network of cells beneath, as described Jn the Republican somo timo ago. Today the Chinese occupants of this building will bo served with notice to v.i ato on tho tirst of November, their rents being paid up to that time, ff at the expiration of tbe time of limitation they do not move, forcible eviction will swiftly follow. The quarters which long have been a disgrace to a civilized city will be torn down as soon as the Chinese remove and in their place a mngnitioent four-story building will be erected,fronting on First street. The structure will cost by rough estimate, in the neighborhood of $00,000. It will be mainly an oliico building with store rooms on tlie ground floor. Especially notable are the improve ments projected for Adams street. Tlie greatest is that of a combined opera house and business block on tho Good rich corner of Adams and Center. Ten local capitalists are associated in the movement and dirt is expected to fly on the foundation worK before a month. The building is to be of the finest finish, 80x70 in size, and three stones in height, and is to involve an expenditure, inclu sive of land valuation, ol $100,000, all home capital. The auditorium is to bo ono of the li"est in tho west. Other buildings, about to ha eroded are: A three-story block hy Perkins & Bajiore, Judge H. C. Oiring and H. 8.

Mr. itar.uolph Is rcgaided in railroad circles ns one of tne most competent of men and in every way qualified to till the high position he assumed. Henry, the colored procurer who left Phoenix between two days recently, was a character indeed. Papers left in his room, now in the hands of an olficer, disclose the fact that he was connected with agencies in Los Angeles, Han Ber nardino, Kedlauds and various ether California cities, and all are engaged in tlie same disreputable business as was he in Phoenix. The scoundrel has been engaged in this kind of work for years, and the letters in the officer's hands will set quite a few of Arizona's leading men residing beyotid the confines of Phoenix a thinking hard and fast.

FRATERNAL LONG BEACH Secret Societies Are Plentiful and Flourishing Public and High School Pupils Give an Enter tainment -Terminal Change of Time Is Approved LONG BIJiACH. Oct. 27.-The fra ternal lodges at this place, the For esters and the Maccabees, aro in a condition as satisfactory as flourishing, and are exceedingly strong in numbers, besides being composed oi as good mater ial as can be found in any association in the state. At the meeting of tho tent of tho Mac cabees last Tuesday night several new Sir Knights were let into the secrets of the mystic order, ami their installation was duly celebrated by all the honors and ceremonies thin loom tent is noted for. Immediately after the conclusion ol the Maccaboe ceremonies the Order of the Grand Orient convened, and four new members who have been anxiously await ing an opportunity to graduate as orien tal princes, got it, and the band played on, while the grand orient, his staff and the new oriental princes buried the hatchet at the ba liquet table. This is tbe most popular order in the country, and it is simply wearing on the constitution of the "goaf to keep up its end of the exercises. A killing will be made next Tuesday night after tlie conclusion of the Maccaheo session, when from four to twelve new Maccabees who aro anxious lor oriental honors will ride the im ported goat, which the head ranger of the Foresters is now getting toned up on a diet of ginger and chile.

FLETCHER AND THE GRAPES The State Fish Commission Sec retary Arrested WAS ALL AT SAN BERNARDINO Father P. Stockman to Be Transferred lo Santa Barbara The Button Hurder Case to Be Retried. Funeral of Qeorge E. Elliott. Notes of the Day SAX BERNARDINO, Oot. 27.--Arthur G. Fletcher, the secretary of the state fish commission, and tho prosecuting witness in the cases foi violating tho game laws which have occupied the attention of .lodge KilOX this week, managed to get his trial over and his tine paid without the knowledge of the prosecution. He went before Judge Soule Thursday and waived the formality of arrest, and the case was set for Saturday, But yes terday fes hurried matters along still more by going bstore Judge Soule, plead ing guilty and paying the $i! fine which th? court assessed. The only satisfaction which those who wished to see mm pun ished can get is that if lie had waited until today he would not have been lined at all, as District Attorney Haley had about conoludod to dismiss the com plaint. On the memorable Sunday when Fletcher discovered the party of San Bernardino people hunting in the lields near ltialto he helped himself to a few bunches of grapes, while waiting for all the members of thu party to gather in, and Fletcher admits tbat he was not alone In tho offense. But when it was found that he was a game warden, aud that he would prefer charges, the owner of tbe vineyard was looked up and induced to swear out a complaint against, Fletcher for stealing grapes. The owner proved to be T. O. Carter and he swore out the cotnrlaint before Judge Soule. The war rant was placed in Policeman T. A. Car ter's hands but was never served, and Fletcher rather scored a point by waiv ing the service. His plea of guilty and the payment of the line is probably the end of that feature of the case. District Attorney Daley says that ho had been intending to go before Judge Soule and move todismiss tbe complaint, but had not thought of Fletcher antici pating him by pleading guilty bofore the case came up regularly today. FATHER STOCKMAN B REMOVAL. Father P. J. Stockman, who lor twon ty-two years has been tlie parish priest in this city, has been transferred to Santa Barbara and wilt tako up his residence in that lovely city by tbe sea next week. The removal is In accordance with an or der just promulgated by Bishop Mora of Los Angeles, and was made necessary by the death of Father James Villa.who hail been the parish priest of Santa Barbara for many years. Tho announcement comes in the nature of a surprise to tlie members of the parish and to the people of the city generally, but it was not unexpected by Father Stockman. For sonic time he has been aware of tlie btshon's intentions, but no publicity was given to tho subject. Father Stockman has been stationed in San Bernardino for twenty-two years, it being his first parish. He was ordained in Los Angeles and at once stationed iv tin's city by the then bishop, and all his work since has been in this parish. Bnt its limits exteml far beyond the city or even the county, Kiverside, San Jacinto, Ferris and east as far as Banning was under his authority. The parisli geo graphically is ono of the largest in the state. The new parish is recognized ai a more desirable one, although whether ho prefers tho charge only tho father knows. Santa Barbara is a wealthier and at tbe same time smaller parisli. No hint as to a possible successor In this city has been given out, but promi nent members of the church are inclined to believe that Bishop Mora will assign a stranger, possibly some one from a dis tance, to the parish, leather Stockman goes to Santa Barbara next week. THE BUTTON CASE. Charles Button will again be placed 011 trial Monday for tbe murder of Gustavo Bohni. Button was convicted of man slaughter when the case came up for the lirst trial, and a motion for a now trial be ing denied, ih- matter went to the supreme court. That body declares tbat the supe rior court erred in some minor instruc tions to the jury, anil ordered tho new trial. Hence it II that Charles Button will once more be placed on trial. , In August, IH'M, Button, Bohm and a copmany of miners were in the moun tains cast of this city. On the day the murder was committed, all of tho mem bers of the party had been drinking, and tho evidence allowed that Button was Slightly intoxicated and Bohm very much intoxicated. A ijuarrel arose be tween tho two, and while Bohm was iy ing upon tbo ground, Button jumped upon him, stamping the :prostrnte man's faco with heavy boots, and seriously in juring him. Button thou withdrew a short distance to where his horse was tied and returning a few minutes later, Bohm assaulted him lirst with a knife, which was at once taken away, and then with a gun. But before he could shoot Button, the latter lired, killing Bohm al most instantly. It was claimed by the attorneys that having been convicted of manslaughter, Button was by tbat ver dict acquitted of a graver crime, and can bo tried for manslaughter only, BORNE TO THK TOMB.
