Kings River.
Bpoclal Dispatch to The Call.
SELMA, May 28.— There is great ex
citement here in consequence of the
discovery of a gold-bearing quartz
ledge in the mountains northeast of
Selma- The find was made by J. M.
Lowe of Selma. who v.as herding hogs
In the vicinity. Lowe came to town
•with samples of free milling ore and
took Cashier Snodgrass of the Selma
Bank into his confidence. Snodgrass
accompanied Lowe to the mountains.
The prospect was so satisfactory that
Snodgrass made several locations on
the ledge and made arrangements for
prospecting on an extensive scale.
In the meantime the secret leaked out
and another expedition started for the
scene. There is now a contest on as to
priority of claim to some of the best
locations. Yesterday the craze reached
fever heat and to-da-' there has been a
continuous exodus In the direction of
La Fevre Creek, and there will be a
race for locations on the rid~<\ where
croppings are traceable for a long dis
tance.
La Fevre Creek is a tributary of
Kings River, and the discovery is on
an abrupt ridge rising from the creek.
It is about two miles south and two
miles east of Trimmer Springs, on
Kings River.
One of the locators took out sixty dol
lars in two days' prospecting. An offer
of $15,000 has been refused for one of
the claims.
OSCAR S. STKA'JSS TO
SUCCEED MINISTER ANGELL
Will Again Hepresent This Govern-
merit at the Court of Ab
dul Hamid.
NEW YORK, May 28.— The Herald's
Washington correspondent says: 1 have
It on excellent authority that James B.
Angeil, Minister to Turkey, has resigned
from hi 3 position. He will be succeeded
by Oscar S. Strauss of New York, former
Minister to Turkey.
Mr. AngelTs resignation will take effect
Borne time during the summer. Mr.
Strauss will not go abroad until his nomi
nation has been confirmed by the Senate.
This will be Strauss' second commission
to Turkey. President Cleveland sent him
to the Ottoman empire during his flrr-t
term. Strauss made such an excellent
record that President Harrison endeav
ored to keep him in office. Philanthropic
organizations' tried to induce Strauss to
remain, but he did not see tit to accede to
their appeals. The selection of Strauss by
President McKlnley for this important
post is another high compliment to
Strauss' valuable services in the past.
Strauss belongs to a distinguished fam
ily. His brother, Isarior Strauss, was
formerly a Representative* in Congress,
while another brother, Nathan Strauss,
has been a leading figure in me municipal
affairs of New York.
GRAND SThsID FALLS WITH
SCORES OF CHILDREN
Many Boys and Girls Injured in a
Disaster at Denver's City
Park.
DENVER, May 28. — A serious acci
dent occurred at 3 o'clock this after
noon at City Park, by which nearly
a hundred children, ranging in size
from mere babies to 12 or 14 years, were
more or less seriously injured. A tem
porary grand stand had been erected
for Memorial day exercises and on this
1200 children had been gathered for re
hearsal. Suddenly a large section of
the stand gave way, carrying its load
of terrified little ones to the ground, in
some instances a distance of thirty
feet.
Many were caught beneath the fall
ing timbers and about forty were se
verely hurt, while scores were painfully
bruised. Twenty of the most serious
ly injured were taken to St. Luke's
Hospital, while the others were con
veyed to their homes in all parts of the
city. It is not believed that any fa
talities will result from the accident.
REFUSED TO FIGHT.

citizens of this town and many mem
bers of the San Rafael Athletic Club

club rooms to-night in anticipation of
a rattling bout between Rudolph Groff
man, a local pugilist, and Joe Sullivan
of San Francisco. "When the latter ar
rived he refused to enter the ring in the
face of every fair inducement. So in
dignant were the disappointed followers
of the fistic cult that for a time Sulli
van was in danger of being ridden out
of town on a rail.

Bpectal Dispatch to The Call.
MARYSVILLE, May 28.— P. W. Bar
tie, an old resident of this county, shot
and killed Frank Stalker at Bartle
Ranch at 6 o'clock this evening. The
tragedy was the outcome of a family
quarrel.
Stalker, who was the husband of an
: adopted daughter of Bartle, opposed the
■ recent marriage of Bartle to a young
woman and made threats against his
| life. Calling at Bartle Ranch, he as
! saulted the old man, threatening the
while to kill the entire family. See
ing that he was getting the worst of
the encounter, Bartle's wife brought
him a "Winchester rifle from the house.
With this the fatal shot was fired.
Bartle came to town and surrendered
to the Sheriff. He claims he acted in
self-defense, which his neighbors be
lieve is highly probable.

THE SAIN" FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 29, 1898.
JUST A CANTER
FOR ORNAMENT
Order's Son Wins the
Brooklyn.
PILOTED BY TOD SLOAN
LONG PRICE AGAINST THE
WESTERN CRACK.
Game Ben Holliday Staggers in Sec
ond,, a Head in Front of the
Light-Weighted Sly
Fox.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
NEW YORK, May 28.— 1t was more
or less a typical Brooklyn handicap
day. Nature was all tears in the morn
ing and all smiles in the afternoon. The
track was heavy, but it was not a mud
horse that won, for Ornament, who was
fit to run for his life, cantered home a
winner amid the cheers of the crowd.
The crowd, numbering about 12,000,
waited patiently through the first three
races for the handicap, and as soon as
Kingston had won the Expectation
stakes, those who wanted to speculate
so-light the ring. The greatest plunge
was on Don de Oro, the sulker, while
the game little three-year-old Sly Fox
had so many followers that at the close
he was an almost equal favorite with
Don de Oro, and had pushed Ornament
out of the place as second choice. All
the others were nibbled at, but most of
the money was down on the two men
tioned.
At 4:05 o'clock the bugle called the
contestants to the post. After a cou
ple of false breaks, the red flag swished
through the air and the silken jackets
flashed into line. With Ornament a
length behind, they rounded a slight
turn and straightened out on the first
run past the grandstand. As they
neared the Judges' stand the first time
Sly Fox was in the lead by a length,
with Ogden next, two lengths in front
of Don de Oro, Tillo, Ornament, Ben
Holliday, On Deck and Semper Ego fol
lowing in the order named. There was
little change in the position of the
octet as they rounded the lower turn.
As the lot turned into the backstretch,
Ogden, two years ago the Futurity win
ner, had enough of it in the sticky go
ing and fell back into the rear ranks.
The jockeys began bunching a bit at
this point and sent their horses along
to test Sly Fox, for he seemed to be
going easily in front. Don de Oro was
in second place and Sim gave him a
shove to get him a little nearer Sly
Fox, and at the beginning of the up
per turn he was lapped on Sly Fox and
only a neck behind. Tillo also was
lapped on Don de Oro, while Ben Hol
liday was close up, with Ornament
lapped on him. The others were trail
ing and apparently all out.
They were now on the upper turn
and had but three furlongs to go. All
the boys were doing a little urging.
But what of Sloan on Ornament? Sud
denly he leaned far over on his horse's
neck, gave him a little prick with his
spurs and how he mowed the others
down, going like a whirlwind. It was
a streak of cerulean blue silk, a glean
ing chestnut colt, and the crowd
roared :
"Look at Sloan!" . ■'
It was unnecessary for any call, for
everybody saw the great four-year-old
Tillo, Don de Oro and Sly Fox passed
like a flash, and in the time it takes
to tell it Ornament was in the lead.
Then the boys got to work in earnest,
but it was a "useless task, aa far as
the first place was concerned, for they
could not gain a foot on the flying Or
nament, who was doing easily in front.
All eyes were then on Sly Fox and Ben
Holliday as they thundered through the
stretch in the effort to secure second
money. - ■„,.',-
A furlong from home Ben Holliday
got his nose up to Sly Fox's tail. A
sixteenth from home his nose was
about a foot behind that of Sly Fox,
and in the last few strides Ben Holli
day managed to stagger over the line
in second place by the shortest of
n °lfoan was the idol of the hour.
Sloan was the idol of the hour.
There came the proposition to put him
in the floral jockey's chair, which the
jockey on the winner has to undergo,
and to the surprise of everybody he
declined the honor.
Sloan also had the winning mounts
in the first, second, third and sixth
events.

THOUSAND.
Crandall, Aylsworth & Haskell' s
Wholesale House Razed and
Adjoining Buildings
Barely Saved.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
LOS ANGELES, May 28.— One of the
moat disastrous fires which has oc
curred in this city for several years
started this afternoon in the basement
of the wholesale merchandise store of

224 Los Angeles street, and before the
flames were subdued nearly $200,000
worth of property had gone up in
smoke.
The fire started in the excelsior bins
In the basement of the establishment,
and, owing to the inflammable charac
ter of the stock carried by the firm, the
entire building of three stories was
soon ablaze. A general alarm was
sounded, and after working for over
two hours to quench the flames the
fire department turned its attention to
the adjoining buildiners to prevent a
spread of the fire, which threatened to
consume the entire block. In this the
department was successful, the only
damage incurred other than that suf
fered by Crandall. Aylsworth & Has
kc.ll and E. Gorman, owner of the
building, being a partial loss sustained
bi- the Pacific Crockery and Tinware
Company from water.
The fire was probably caused by
spontaneous combustion, but its exact
origin is at present unknown.
The loss to Crandall. Aylsworth &
Haskell will amount to fully $130,000,
with $50,000 insurance. The building,
owned by E. Gorman, was constructed
at a cost of $50,000. The building was
a total loss and was insured for $20,000.
The loss of the Pacific Crockery and
Tinware Company will amount to
about $5000; insurance unknown.

Against Time.

opening race meet of the season at the
Willow Grove bicycle track waa held to
day under the auspices of the American
Racing Association and was unusually
successful.

carried off the honors in an exhibition two
miles, paced, breaking the world's record
of 3:27. made by J. I'latt-Betts at the
Crystal Palace, London. Michael's time
to-day was 3:20 2-5. Michael rode the
distance with perfect ease, making the
first third in :31, the second third in
1:04, and the first mile in 1;39 4-5. The
remaining three laps were covered re
spectively In 2:17, 2:52 1-5 and 3:25 2-5.

was the match race of twenty miles be
tween Kdouard Taylore, the French cham
pion, and J. Frank Starbuck of this city.
Taylore winning after an exciting race.
Each man was pacod, and for the first
eight miles Taylore easily led at distances
varying from twenty-five to seventy-five
yards. Here the little Frenchman seemed
to ease up a bit, and Starbuck forged
ahead at the ninth mile, holding the lead
until after the sixteenth mile. During
this period Starbuck led from fifty yards
to one-third of a mile. After the six
teenth mile the chain on a wheel ridden
by one of Starbuck's pacers broke and
he rode all the way around alone. This
gave Taylore a big advantage, and he
soon took the lead, maintaining it to the
end. crossing the line a winner in 37:49 4-5
by twenty-five yards. Summary:

MANY RECORDS BROKEN.
Gr<?at Sport at the Annual Ini*.T-
collegiate Meeting.
NEW YORK, May 28.— The twenty
third annual meeting of the Inter
collegiate Association was brought to
a most successful conclusion late this
evening at Berkeley Oval and the ath
letes from the University of Pennsyl
vania duplicated their success of last
year by carrying off the championship
honors with a score of 50 3-4 points out
of a possible 154. The Princeton Tig
ers were second with 28 points; Har
vard third with 25 5-6 points, and the
Sons of EH fourth, with a score of
22 2-3 points, and Syracuse led the re
mainder with 9 points.
Eight intercollegiate and one world's
record were excelled. To the credit of
Pennsylvania five of the new records
must be placed. McCracken, the heavy
man, accomplished wonders with a 16
pound hammer, as well as the shot, and
established new Intercollegiate records
in both records. Kraenslein of Penn
sylvania smashed the records In the
high and low hurdle races, and In the

latter event created a new world's rec
ord, winning by seven yards from Bre
mer of Harvard, who three years ago
established a world's record in the
same event of 24 3-5 seconds. To-day
Breraer ran second to Kraenslein, who
clipped one second off the record.
Preinstein of Syracuse and Percy
Remington of Pennsylvania in the
broad jump surpassed all previous In
tercollegiate figures, and the winner,
Preinstein, almost equaled the world's
record which was established
three years ago by Rosengrave at

o-ne-elghth of an inch behind the Aus
tralian record, and his jump to-day
beats all American and English rec
ords.

away from the field of competitors in
the one-mile walk, which he won by
over fifty yards in 6:45 2-5, beating the
intercollegiate recc-rd by 7 2-5 seconds.

each c-f whom cleared the bar at 11 feet

half an inch.

U*. Hswry. I have baen troubled a long time with what I suppose
they call dyspepsia. I call it indigestion. I hava
had great pain in my chest for many years, and I
used to have difficulty in breathing at times, and
feel as if something had stuck in my throat, especially
after eating, and I always had to be careful what I
»te. I dared not eat pastry or hot rolls, and at time*
I would get dizzy in my head. I tried Pepsin and
other patent medicines, and I did not find much
benefit until the man at the drug store where I deal
asked me to try Ripans Tabules. ". did, and I tell you
I felt more benefit from one box of Ripans Tabulei
than all the other stuff I had been taking. I had about
three or four boxes, and I am cured. I don't hava
the pain in my chest, my bowels are more regular,
■and I can eat any kind of food that is put before me,
Tabules have made a good cure for me, and
• jjjcll you I tell all nay friends to try them.
