The choirs of the several churches had met a few evenings for concerted practice at the Congrega tional church and when they came to gather in one body and united, lifted up their voicci in sacred song, the effect was grand in the extreme.

HE WAITS IN ANGUISH An Anxious Armenian Now at San Bernardino HE FEARS FOR HIS PEOPLE El Orao Festividad Is Not Quite All Paid for The Arrowhead and Waterman Road to Be Improved—Moves In Street Car Matters-City Nates SAN" BERNARDINO, Nov. 30.-\ial -00ID Stone, a young Armenian who re sides in this city, is hourly waiting a cablegram from Constantinop'e, which will probably call bim to tbe land of tbe unspeakable Turk. Mr. Stone's position tr,d tbe mental anguish be endures are difficult to appreciate. His father ami mother, a brother ami many other rela tives were residents of Harpool, one of the oitttj of Armenia in which the latest outbreaks occurred, and it is barely pos sible that all his relatives escaped, and it is even possible each of tbem fell a vic tim to the frenzy of tbe Musselmans. For more tban two months the only message which Stone has received from his native land has been the press (lis. patches, telling of massacre and pillagr, and a few weeks ago came word that Harpool.bis own city, bad been the scene of such an outbreak. Stone's family were prominent among tbe Christians of that city. His brother is a teacher in one of Armenia's colleges, and his father's house adjoins one of the missions. Ac cording to fhe dispatches these were sacked and burned.and there is very little hope that the buildings in the vioinity would escape, or tbat the lives of the oc cupants would be spared. Mr. Stone is a citizen uf the United btatss, having taken out his tirst papers and renounced any other allegiincc. He hopes that owing to this faot he may be able to enlist some interest in Washing ton and ba given fpassports which will make it possible for bim to accomplish something when Turkey Is reached. But even if he succeeds in getting them, the subsequent action of Turkish officials is doubtful, and tbey may reluse him pass age into the country, largely due to toe fact tbat be is an expatriate ! Armenian. If word conies to Mr. Stone that any of bis friends are still alive.he will godirect to New York, and through influential friends there secure letters of introduc tion to Washington. With these and through them his passports, he will sail at once, and hopes to land in Constanti nople in three weeks. MORE OF THE FIESTA. Tbe aftermath of the Gran Festividad, by wnich this city celebrated tbe anni versary of Mexican independence, by three days and nights of revelry, is about to eventuate. Not all of the revelry re ferred to has been paid lor, and the cred itors will wait no longer. A meeting of those having claims against the Fiesta committee was held last night, ana suits will be commenced at once. It will he remembered that the receipts of the celebration from all sources fell below tbe expenses about 11800. Tbe committee paid out what money tbey had without scaling the accounts, and the result is tliat S/1800 is still due, the credit ors to whom it is owing having received nothing whatever on tbeir accounts. They met at Wilcox et Hose's hard ware etore last night and decided to engagu attorneys and go after tho guarantors. Tbe guarantee fund,as made up o; igin ailv, consisted of subscriptions to the amount of J'-'ObO, to be used In case there was a deficit. The meeting of creditors last night was attended by rather more than half tne full amount of the claims. They decided to assign all claims to John Klagg and to engage it Allen to push the claims and bring s,.it against the guarantors if that should lie neces sary. STREET CAR RUMORS. TheJJair has been full of rumors with reference to tbe Third-street car line, and its future, but sifted to the bottom it develops that the Southern California people want the road, but that as yet no direct proposition has bean made for it. Tnere havo been a great many things during the month which indicated that some sort of a change was pending. Among these was the presenco in this city of Mr. Lloyd of San l'rancisco, who owns the electric plant on Mill street, where power is going to waste, sufficient to run all the street cars iv the valley. It is known, too, that Mr. Lloyd Is trying to dispose of the powers lor tbo purpose of applying it lo the street cars. He offered it to the purchaser ot tbe Highland motor, and is anxious to make some such disposition.
