CAPTURE SANTA CRUZ.
Festive Drummers Take
Possession of the
City.
GIVEN RIGHT OF WAY.
The Town and' All It Contains
Surrendered to the
Invaders.
EFFEY'S HAPPY GREETING.
Requests the Visitors to Take Any
thing He May Have Forgotten
to Turn Over to Them.
SANTA CRUZ, Cal., June 29.— The
commercial travelers' special excursion
train had the right of way on the broad
gauge to-day and ran from San Francisco
to Santa Cruz in three hours and ten
minutes.
The travelers and their companions,
numbering altogether 150, did not permit
the speed of the train to check the current
of hilarity. On muslin banners stretched
the length of the car were such mottoes as
"You can josh us this time," "We are out
for pleasure and not for business," "Santa
Cruz is OK, and so are we, at times,"
"Wat-er carnival we will have at Santa
Cruz," "When we are gone write us if
your time will permit" and "Draw on us
at sight and we will remit — our thanks."
The car decorations were inspired by
"Billy" Bernheim and Sig Heller.
Colonel W. H. Menton of the Southern
Pacific had the excursion in charge and
felt elated when he saw the Monterey ex
cursion sidetracked to give him room to
run fast.
When the train arrived at Santa Cruz the
travelers filed out. The landau "with
four blacks'' and other vehicles conveyed
the ladies to the Ocean House. The men
marched with the Hastings band, Mayor
Effey and Director R. H. Davis leading the
column. From the balcony of the Pacific
Ocean House the Mayor welcomed the
tourists in a happy speech. Said he:
My friends, I have been scheduled, accord-
Ing to programme, to make an address of wel
come, and have been wondering all the way
down on the train what lam here for. A wel
come of Santa Crnz to the commercial travel
ers seems to me superfluous. We know you all
so well, and you know us all, it seems alto
gether like seme of our own boys coming home,
co there is nothing left to say but "come in and
make yourselves at home."
Tiiese are the reasons why some of us do not
like .to see you here at all: You come down
here during the off season and work oS on us all
the old-time chestnuts . you have heard on the
road; you take all our money In the way of
orders that we don't like to give, and win all
the pretty girls of the town away from some
of us that hare -aspirations in that direction.
In fact, your worthy president, now at my right,
is the chief offender in that way, in having
taken away from us for good one of the fairest
. .blossoms of Santa Cruz. These are some of the
| reasons why we don't care to see you in Santa
' Cruz, r> . ':'-; t \ ."*.. l;' "•■•-' ci
And vet, with all your faults, if you have any,
we love you still. Evan with the - "still" some
Of us irmy b«TeY»rougnt with us. V ..,. f ?
To the casual observer the drummer's life is
always a happy one, and one continual round
of pleasure. But to those who have traveled
from the hot sands of Alaska to the frigid shores
of Patagonia; who have faced death in the
dining halls of our leading hotels and walked
with unblanched cheeks to the railroad lunch
counter— those of you who understand all these
and kindred vicissitudes enow that tourist
life is not a happy one; and knowing this and
not unmindful, further, of the fact that you are
all here on pleasure bent and not for the pur
pose of working off chestnuts on us or "pulling
our legs" for an order, we extend the glad hand
and open heart of welcome, and hope that your
short stay may be pleasant to you in all re
spects, a* I feel sure it will be to the citizens of
the City of the Holy Cross.
I have only to add that the city is yours. If
I should inadvertently have omitted this little
formality, I know you would take it anyway,
ana if you happen to see anything you want
that I have not mentioned, just ask for It or
work your hypnotic power on vi and you will
get it just the same.
Speaking on behalf of our people, I can only
cay that we are more pleased to have you with
us than any feeble efforts of mine can convey,
and we hope that you will return to your
homes and labors with a sincere conviction
that your stay has been a pleasant one
The Mayor's speech wu hailed with
tumultuous applause by the audience. In
response W. J. Barrett, president of the
association, said:
Honorable Mayor and Citizens of Santa Cruz—
With your characteristic generosity you have
seen fit to bestow an invitation upon the mem
bers of the Pacific Coast Commercial Travelers'
Association to partake of that hospitality
which has made Santa Cruz famous. Commu
nities have distinctive traits as individuals,
and of the features of Santa Cruz none is more
prominent than hospitality.
President Barrett paid ' a tribute to the
enterprise of Santa Cruz, saying that in
this respect it was one of the foremost
cities on the Pacific Coast. He also spoke
of the natural charms of the city, men
tioning that the commercial travelers,
knowing every section of the country, are
a recommendation to any place they select
for holiday-making. He returned thanks
to the citizens and also thanked the South
ern Pacific Railroad for courtesies ex
tendedl
"I would like also," said President Bar
rett, "to express a feeling of friendship
which the association entertains for the
San Francisco Call. We regard it as the
foremost and most enterprising journal on
the Pacific Coast."
The sentiment called forth applause.
Three cheers for the Call were proposed,
ana the vast audience responded with
three rousing hurrahs.
At 9 o'clock the travelers had the town
and the town donkey, and were holding
both in good style. The event of the night
wa6 the ball in honor of the commercial
tourists at the Ocean House. The decora
tions were elaborate and beautiful.

SANTA CRUZ, Cal., June 29.— There

Twin Lakes. The audience was addressed
by Rev. J. Sunderlaud, district secretary of
the Missionary "Union, who gave an ac
count of the state of mission work in the
different countries of the world. Rev. D.
H. Drake, a returned missionary from
India, spoke on "The Present Condition of
the Telugu Field." Rev. C. 8. Spurgeon

bility of the Teacher in the Sunday-school"
was read by the recording secretary of the

Millions of the Maryball
Estate.
Claims Dating Back Over a Century
Ordered Paid by the Gov

BAN BERNARDINO, Cai., June 29.—
L. J. Tingleye of Colton received word this
morning that he is heir to one-seventh of
the many millions in the Maryball estate
In Philadelphia, if the papers are correct,
and $500,000 is ready to be paid to the
heirs. This money comes from damages
during the French war. Congress ordered
the money paid over. Besides this, the
estate has 200 acres in Philadelphia, used
by the Government the past hundred
years; 500 lots in Washington City, and
50,000 acres of fine farming land "in the
Tigris Valley in Virginia. Tingleys is a
grandson of Maryball, who died at his
home in Ohio. He came to Ohio from
Kansas after losing all his property, five
dwellings, in the freshet in the Ohio River
in 1882. He moved to Kansas, then to

Supemfora Enjoined From Enforcing a
Mate- Reducing Order.
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal., June 29.—
Judge Campbell issued an injunction in
the case of the Arrowhead Toll-road Com
pany vs. the County Board of Supervisors
this afternoon restraining the enforcement
of an order passed on June 3 reducing tolls
and ordering the upper tollgate opened.
The company claims the road cost $38,360
in construction expenses last year. The
cost of maintenance and operation was
$3474 and the receipts $980. The Civil Code,
section 514, entitles the company to 10 per
cent over the cost of operating. The al
leged effect of the order of June 3 was to
reduce the toll and increase the running
expenses. This cannot be done contrary
to law. There was a bitter tight between
the company and the settlers for months.
The latter tore down the tollgate and re
fused to pay toll, and this injunction gives
the company a temporary triumpk.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY. JUNE 30, 1895,
BLAZE AT HERCULES
Fire in the California
Powder Company's
Works.
THREE BUILDINGS LOST.
Complete Destruction of the
Plant Is Narrowly
Averted.
CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS.
A Spark From a Tinner's Stove
Starts the Disastrous Con
flagration.
PINOLE, Cal., June 29.— The California
Powder Works' plant at Hercules, which
was blown up on May 21 last, when four
teen lives were lost, narrowly escaped
destruction by fire this afternoon, and was
damaged to the extent of $15,000 by the
devouring element.
Ever since the dreadful explosion which
sent so many employes to eternity a force
of between 300 and 400 men has been
steadily at work repairing the damaged
buildings and erecting new ones in place
of those that were blown from the face of
the earth. The plant was to have started
with a full working force on Monday morn
ing, and the carpenters and other artisans
were working like Trojans to finish their
jobs by nightfall.
The conflagration started at 2 o'clock in
the niter-house, and seems to have been
the direct result of carelessness on the part
of some employe. The tinners, who were
on the roof putting on a tin sheathing, car
ried their stoves to the place where they
were working, and a spark from one of
these started the fire among the rafters.
It had gained considerable headway before
it was discovered, and aided by the high
wind which was blowing off the bay,
spread with great rapidity.
The superintendent called the men
from all parts of the works to aid in sup
pressin g the blaze, but in spite of their ef
forts the fire soon spread to the drying
house and big concrete warehouse, where
500 tons of nitre was stored. At this time,
an hour after the fire started, it seemed as
tnough the works were doomed, as the
wind was driving the flames toward other
buildings, and a rush was made for the
acid house to save the three platinums
which cost $30,000 each. Soon after they
had been removed, however, the breeze
suddenly shifted and the fire-fighters went
to work with renewed zeal, with the re
sult that the fire was soon under control.
The niter and drying houses were tota lly
destroyed, while the warehouse was dam
aged to the extent of several thousand
dollars.
When the warehouse began to burn the
dense clouds of smoke that arose and the
loud explosions which followed each other
in rapid succession as the water fell on the
niter frightened those within sight of the
works into the belief that another terrible
explosion was about to occur and within
a few minutes the scene was almost beyond
description. Distracted women who
feared for their husbands and sons rushed
about bewailing their lots, and one woman
fainted from joy as she saw her husband
fighting the fire, but safe and unharmed.
The Chinese, about 200 of whom are em
pi oyed at the works, did not wait for de
velopments after the fire started, but
mindful of the fate which overtook nine
of their countrymen in the recent ex
plosion, gathered their few belongings and
fairly flew for places of safety. Many did
not stop short of a mile or two from the
burning buildings and were with much
difficulty coaxed back after the flames had
been subdued.
The fire caused much excitement at San
Pablo and Pinole and in the surrounding
country and before it was extinguished
hundreds of curious people drawn by the
smoke and smothered explosions had
gathered at a safe distance to watch opera
tions.
The burning of the three houses and the
other damage caused by the fire will put
back the opening of the works from three
weeks to a month. This delay, with the
$15,000 or more loss on the buildings, will
make the fire quite an expensive affair to
the California Powder Company.
It is said that the tinners were warned
not to take their stoves on top of the build
ings, as a fire was likely to be started, but
they disobeyed instructions. The work of
reconstructing the buildings, which were
fully insured, will be begun at once and
pushed to a speedy conclusion.
SANTA ROSA WOMEN WIN
Elect One of Their Sex a
Member of the School
Board.
Some Lively Campaign Work Done
by the Fair Politicians for
Their Ticket.
SANTA ROSA, Cal., June 29.— The elec
tion for two School Trustees for Santa
Rosa came off to-day. There was unusual
excitement, owing to the fact thai two
prominent ladies were in the field against
the two gentlemen who were candidates
for re-election.
Many ladies were out during the day
electioneering for the candidates of their
own sex, some because of their personal
friendship for the candidates, and some for
the sake of the principle involved and
desire to see woman in larger control of
educational matters.
Many men were also in the field early
and late working for the male candidates.
Some of them worked because of personal
friendship, and some because of their pro
nounced antipathy to what they termed
"petticoat government." Buggies and
carnages were flying over town from early
morning to sunset carrying voters to and
from the polling -booth at the High School
house.
The excitement ran high after sundown
and numerous bets were made on the win
ning candidates. At 10 o'clock the rote
was announced as follows: George Hall
4<»4. Mrs. Thomas J. Geary 443, J. F. Kins
lew 440. Mrs. Eva French 417. T«tal, 1764.
George Hall and Mrs. Gearv are there
fore elected trustees of the' Humboldt
schools for two years.
Mr. Kinslow had only three votes less
than Mrs. Geary, who is the wife of ex-
Congressman Geary. It is claimed that
the A. P. A. defeated Kinslow. He has
been a trustee of the public schools for
two years past, and niaje an eißcieni and

session of a $5000 ■ bequest left her by the
will of her adopted mother, the late Mrs.
Waters. V. " --
The complaint alleges that for six months
past her husband, who is a son of the late
James G. Walker, a former millionaire
and ex-Mayor of Oakland, has been
in ill - hhealth and unable to get
employment ; that since filing the original
complaint, a child has been born, and
that while prior to that time she was able
to support herself by siraging and acting,
since then she had been in wretched
health, destitute and unable to secure
lucrative employment and has earned a
meager living as seamstress and borrowing
money from Iriends; that these facts are
known to Captain Waters, who, neverthe
less, denies her any allowance from her
heritage.

MEN FOR THE CRUISERS.
One Thousand Seamen to Be
Enlisted After the Ist
of July.
The Olympia to Remain at San Fran
cisco to Take on New Re
cruits.
VALLEJO, Oal., June 29.— 0n July 1
the Navy Department will be in a position,
owing to an act passed by the last Con
gress, to augment the number of enlisted
men in the navy by 1000. This is a very
small number under the circumstances,
but better than no increase. Both on this
and the Atlantic Coast many useful ves
sels have been tied up for several months,
and are so still, because no crews are avail
able for them and none could be shipped.
Of the 1000 increase about 700 will be ab
sorbed by Eastern stations, leaving only
300 for the West.
The receiving ships at the navy-yards
are the regular places where men are ship
ped, but in emergencies, recruiting offices
arc opened in adjacent cities, and even
on board ships in different ports. Such a
contingency now arises on the Olympia.
The department has ncr under orders to
prepare for a China cruise, which will ex
ceed three years at least, and it is not
customary to send out men on such vessels
who are short-term men. or men having
less than three years to serve. Some fifty
such were among the Olympia' s crew
which had been made up in anticipation
of Honolulu duty. When orders for the
Orient were issued, these men were im
mediately transferred to the receiving
ship Independence. This made quite a
hole in the crew which she carries, and
efforts were put forth by the Independence
people to secure enlistments.
These come slowly here, however, be
cause the modern navy calls for something
more than mere sailors, as the old ships
did. Nowadays a battle-ship's crew is a
small navy -yard with men of many trades,
a few only of the ideal "sailor men" being
found on board. Desirabie sea mechanics
in good numbers are procurable in large
seaboard cities, and this fact will be util
ized to fill the complement of the Olym
pia's crew.
The department has authorized Captain
Reed to delay at San Francisco on his re
turn from the trial trip and enlist men at
that point who may present themselves
and prove on examination to be qualified
physically and mechanically for existing
vacancies. Fifteen naval cadets recently
graduated from Annapolis Academy are
on their way to Mare Island to report for
duty on the Olympia and Philadelphia.
Three patients have arrived at the Naval
Hospital at Mare Island from Philadel
phia.
Frank Frahm died last night from the
effects of injuries sustained by a fall in the
stone dock Thursday. Coioner Trull held
an inquest and a verdict of accidental death
was rendered.
J. T. Wise has been appointed appren
tice in the boatshop by Secretary Herbert.

Court without bail on a charge of murder.

Sxohomish, Wash., March 5, 1893.
DR. A. T. SANDEN— Deab'Sib: I purchased
one of your strongest Electric Belts September 12,
1892. I was so far gone with spermatorrhoea and
weakness that I had no ambition for anything that
was going on around me. I could think of nothing
but my disease. l was afflicted for ten years, and
am satisfied that if I had not got your Belt I would
be in the asylum or dead now. I can say to all
i sufferers I was a curse to myself and my family.
j For the last five years I had no manly strength nor
; vigor, often wishing I was dead, but thank God,
, after wearing your Belt three months I. became
j strong and full of strength and vigor. All j signs of
! my disease are gone, and I have entirely recovered
' In mind and body. If any sufferer wishes to corre-
j spond with me in regard to tnis statement, or re-
; garding the benefit I have received from the use of
the Sanden Belt, I will be glad to send them a
plainer statement of my condition, and will make
affidavit to the same. Please accept this statement
I from a grateful patient, and use my name If you
wish to, as I am sure your Belts will euro any case
of nervous debility you undertake.
