IS.-rEyana and Morrell have been In Evans' house sine daylight, since which time the house has been completely surrounded, At 9:16 a.m. a messenger wag sent into the house, with a note advising them to surrender to aave life, aa their capture was certain. The outluwa de tained the messenger aa a hostage. After an exchange of several notes hetween Evans and Sheriff Kay, they finally agreed to come out if the offi cers would be Instructed uot to shoot and the large orowd of people who had gathered were sent back. At 10:40 the door of Evans' cabin opened and Morell appeared and held up his hands, followed Immediately after by Evans without anus. They were Immediately oovered by 20 rifles and Sheriff Kay and Marshal Gard advanced and shook bauds with Evann. A delivery wagon was pressed Into eervioe, and they were driven rapidly to jail. The man captured with Evans is not Morell. He says he is a man who worked ln the dining-room with him. Several citizens now claim that the man's name is Eulow. The young man was raised eight miles east of this city, in what was called the .Swamp. Marshal "Jard says Evans and Morell were not In the Roscoe robbery. He has known their whereataiute, he eluinia, for weeks. ! Visalia, Cat., Feb. 20. This morn ing develops the fact that there was a well-organized vlglla'.oe committee last night who fully intended to take Evaua and Morell out and hang them. The attempt on the jail was to have been made at 10 o'clock, but the officers got wind of I' and spirited the prisoner away. Evans was taken to the superior oourt at 10 o'clock this morning. Judge Harris asked the prisoner if he h- d anything to say. HIb attorney made the customary motion for a new trial, which was denied. He then, in behair or bis client, asked that Evans be sent to San Quentin Instead of Fdlsora, t.ut the judge disregarded the request and ordered him Incarcerated at Folsom for life.

Department I Puiruoirr aud Promotion. rWMfcly Otamlu- Wtw-No. 15,1 Swt FrancibCA Feb. 18, 1604. The attesdano at the Midwinter Ex position oontinuea to average between 8,000 and 10,000 per day, and everybody it correspondingly encouraged in the belief that this fair will realize the most anguine expectation ln regard to ita financial ancoeiiB, In proportion to the amount of money invested, the attend ance ttraa far has greatly surpassed that accorded the Columbian Exposition dur ing the first month of ita existence, and at the same ratio of increase which waa noticeable at Chicago, there will be an attendance at the Midwinter Exposition before it close which will turpafs the fondest dreamt of ita most enthusiastic boomers, The number of Eastern visitors to the Exposition is increasing Jay l.y day, and tt ia with a sigh of groat relief that they come out of the snows and blizzards of of the East and the middle West, over the mountains into the midwinter splen dor of the Pacific Coast. It has been what is called a "hard winter" in Cali fornia, but that means only that it has rained a little more than usual, and that the warm midwinter days have not boon lo continuous as is generally the rule. But even this weather has been so wel come to people who are used to being snowbound in February that they call it "Paradise" in comparison, and they really revel in their experience. One enthusiastic traveler came into the office of the DepartmontoIJublicity and Promotion the other day and told the following story: "I could hardly get to the railway station. in my town for the snow drifts. The street cam were not running, and the horses of a hack on wheels conld scarcely plunge along fast enough for me to make my train. Once on board the train I read in a daily pa-ier, for this was Jan. 28, that the California Midwinter Exposi tion had baen formally opened on the preceding day with thousands of people seated on a grand stand in the open air with heads uncovered under a broiling ann, and with the green foliage of a beautiful park forming a background to the scene. At diiZerent places along the railway where we stopped for a few moments, I noticed bulletins of 'Mid winter Exposition Weather,' and the thought Btrtiok me that this was about the most striking piece of advertising that conld be done in connection with California's exposition. When one stands in an atmosphere in the neigh borhood of zero, and reads that the thermometer rcjisters 75 degrees in San Francisco, one wishes to he there, and as for myself I was glad to feel that I was on my way. At Chicago I was de layed several hours waiting for it to he come possible for trains to start on west ward, and we dragged along across the plains, but when we began to descend the slopes of the Sierras we left the snows behind us and found the green fields at onr feet, for we were, indeed, in the land of sunshine, fruit and Mow ers, and I intend to stay here just as long as I feel I can afford to. " This has been the experience of many westbound travelers during the prefcut uiidwinter season, and every effort is being made on the part of the Etposi tion management to impress the Eastern visitors with the fact that, aside from the climatic advantages, it is good lor them to be here. During the past week there has been a succession of interest ing things at the fair. First came the unveiling of the Harriet Hosmer statue of Isabella, in which a host of ladies Well known in social and literary circles ou the Pacific Cpast took an interesting part, and in which the Palace of Art was dedicated. The formal opening of the Vienna Prater introduced to San Francisco the Imperial Vienna orches tra, one of the finest musical organiza tions of the world. A series of days which are to be cele brated under the auspices of the differ ent fraternal organizations was inaug urated on Feb. 13 by the Independent Order of Good Templars. On this oc casion Festival Hall was first brought into service, and a huge audience as sembled there to witness the exercises of the annual convention and anniver sary of the organization of that body. A pleasing feature of the day was the parade through the grounds of the oiy phans from the Good Templars' Home for Orphans, ' aud whose enjoyment of the concessional features to which they were made welcome was accepted as the forerunner of many similarly joyful oc casions in the near feature. There is to be a general "Orphans' Day" before long, when every child from the chari table institutions in San Francisco aud vicinity will be given the run of the Ex position. There is also to be a public school childreus' day, for which the people of San Francisco are now making groat preparations, and such a day the school children of San Francisco have never seen before. This school children's iuy has been set for Feb. 23, and coin ing as it does between the national holi day and Saturday it is a school holiday of itself, but it will be made in this con nection an Exposition holiday in which avery person connected with the man agement or with the Exposition iu any way will vie with every other amuse ment maker to add to the children's pleasure, The Transmississippi Congress has been in session in San Francisco during the present week, aud on Wednesday evening lis delegates were made the guests of the Exposition. There was a grand display of fireworks and .a gen eral illnminatioa of the buildings. Even the electric tower was illuminated, though this great structure is not quite complete, and there were band concerts at the fireworks and on the grand cen tral court as well. The arrangcuiente for Washington's birthday include more fireworks, more illuminations, the open ing of the elcetriu tower and the in auguration of the electric prismatic fountain. .

Wlilla CMMHtne Bis Grandohllil th CUA Ilan Iuhtled a Hair Which Killed Htm, It was a joyous company of young, middle aged and aged people who con grcgated at the home of Mr. and Mr. Samuel Larkin in Susquehanna, Pa. They met in honor of the fiftieth wed ding anniversary of their host and host ess, who had passed their allotted three score years and ten and were still ln the enjoyment of perfect health. Several sweet faced, laughing grond thildren were present to contribute; their share of sunshino to the occasion. Little 6-year-old Mary Edwards, with her bright bine eyes and light tresses, was there. After kissing her grand mother affectionately she sprang upon her grandfather's lap, exclaiming, "Grandpa, I have lots of kisses and a bear hug for you." Then the old man pressed the sweet face of his favorite grandchild to his, forvently remarking: "God bless you, Mary. No company would be complete without you. You aie the embodiment of sunshine itself, and I trunt yon will grow to he a noble woman." "Tell me how much you love me, grandpa, " said the child, "and then I will give you the kisses and the bear hug." "I cannot tell you how much I love you, child, ' answered the old man, "but I can assure yon it is a big lot." Then Grandfather Larkin imprinted kies after kisa upon the ruby cheeks, and the child, delighted at the mani festation of affection, returned the com pliment, and then, throwing her littio arms about the old man's neck, gave the promised "bear hug." She then crawled down from grandpa'a lap and busied herself for a time among others of the company. An hour Inter, and just before the joyous party were about to partake of dinner, the same little Mary approached her grandfather, re marking, "Grandpa, I want to give you one more kiss before dinner, and then 1 want you to sit by me at the table. The old man smiled and lifted the little girl in bis arms. Two minutes later be felt a tickling sensation in his throat and realized that in returning the last kiss a bair bad caught in his mouth and been sucked into his wind pipe. This immediately produced hard fits of coughing, and before relief could be obtained a blood vessel was raptured, and death resulted instantly. , Consternation reigned for a time, and the aged partner of the unfortunate sep tuagenarian, overcome with grief, fell in a swoon. She rallied an hour later, but it is thought her great grief will cause her death in a short time. New York Herald. NOW A DESERTED VILLAGE. Virginia City, Key., Once Gay and Proiper ooi, Rapidly Fallluff to RuIdh. "A poet could write on 'The Desert ed Village' with Virginia City as a sub ject and surpass Goldsmith's immortal production on the same topic," said E. L. Hearne of San Francisco to a Globe Democrat man. "The Erst time that 1 was ever there the population of Vir ginia City was greater than that of the entire state now. Everything ran wido open. Magnificent hotels and opera halls, palatial residences, stores that would have done credit to New York, millionaires who spent money freely, maintaining a society that for brillian cy and guyety could not be equaled in the United States. 1 was there a short time ago. The hotels and opera houses are closed, the residences empty, the stores removed to other and more pros perous places. Dwellings that cost hun dreds of thousands of dollars are given over to the bats, and the broken panes of glass, the shutters hanging upon a single binge or flapping in the wind, give a grewsome sense of loneliness. In years to come it will afford magnifi cent spectacles of ruins, aud even now in some sections of the town there ia a sense to the beholder of being iq a city of the past, Millions were made aud lost, and the history of Virginia City would be one of the most thrilling sto ries eAr written." St. Louis Globe Democrat. Savages Iu Modern Wav. ft was curious to see the effect of the seven pounder and hotebkisa sheila upon the Matauoles when they were re treating. On tho shell bursting among them we could see through our glasses the Matebeles turn round and fire at the place where the shell had burst, think ing it was somo diabolical agency of the white man. From information we re ceived after this fight we learned that the enemy had intended attacking ua at 10 o'clock the previous night, but ow iug to the rocket having been sent up to recall Captain Borrow they wore afraid to do so, thinking that we were holding communion with our gods by shooting at the stars and bringing them down. London Telegraph. A Fatal Rl under, Blunders that are literally worse than crimes are not uncommon. Such a one was committed in 18S0 by a New York druggist, who, by putting up tho wrong prescription, caused the death of two girls named Holtz by morphine poison ing. But the consequences of the ter rible mistake did not end there. The betrothed of one of the girls, Dr. Low enthal, whose prescription was mislead, went insane. And nuw their father, Christian Holtz, baa died abroad, where hp retired, broken hearted, as soon aB lie could close up his large business inter ests in New York. Rochester Herald, Boston's Crowded Tenements. In the most crowded precinct of Bos ton, the recent tenement house census found the average number of persons in a house to be 17,81, and the average numher of persons in a room 1.09. In the most instances, the average number of persons to a room was 8.30, but in oil Boston there were found but 658 persons occupy tenements in which the average number to a room was three or over.BQjtou Conjatenwealth, . NIAGARA, NOW IN HARNESS. Cbft Ornate Experiment Ew Bind tn fileotrlolty la Being Pat to Teat, At last Niagnra falls hnvo been har nessed, and the dream of engineers for years has been realized. One of the greatest engineering enterprises ever undertaken in this country and by far the greatest experiment ever made In olootricity has been put to the test to decide whether $4,000,000 have been poured into a hole in the ground or whether thin sum has been planted iu fruitful soil to bring forth a hundred fold. . The object of the company which an iertook the stupendous task ia to catch the immcnBe power of the fearful on rush of water of tho great river and turn it to utilitarian purposes. If the water which rushes down the penatocl. i HO feet turns the wheels below and sends back np to the surface 6, 000 horse power from each wheel, the day Ib not far distant when every wheel in New York west of the Hudson river shall be turned with power from the falls, and a mighty current shall be transmitted probably as far weBt as Chicago, and it may be as far south as Baltimore. The tnnnel, through which 500,000 cubic feet of water will flow each min ute when it is used to its full capacity, is a gloomy place. It is at feet high aud is horseshoe shaped, being 18 feeV 10 inches wide at the widest part and--14 feet 5 inches at the bottom. Since . Oct. 4, 1890, when N. B. Gaskell, who ' was then president of the Cataract Con struction company, dug the first spade ful of earth for the tnnnel, 17 men have been killed in the tunnel, 8 in the wheel pit and 2 in the work outaide. While the tunnel was being dug some 1,500 men were kept busy, and tho payrolln ran as high as $69,000 in one month. Dr. Coleman Sellers of Philadelphia has had charge of the work during all the late years of ita progress and super vised the great test, of which the tele graphic reports in the press have given ample account. The realization of what was once a scientitic day dream will add new luster to the glowing achieve ments of tho closing nineteenth century. Jfnnadelpma frees. STATESMEN'S ECCENTRICITIES.. Kate Field Sayi Our Senators Would ISO Lost without Tronsers toelcet. "Do yon prefer aide or slant or ton pockets in your trousers?" "I don't care, I'm sure. All I want ia pockets that I can get my hands in to." This was the conversation I overheard the other day between a tailor and his customer, and I waa reminded of it an hour later as 1 looked down npouthe floor of the senate chamber and watch ed our grave and reverend lawmakers going through their work. In the mid dle aisle, carrying on a triangular de bate, were Senator Proctor and Senator Gorman, each with his left hand in his trousers pocket, and Senator Allison with both hands similarly incased. They were presently joined by Senator Brice, who had his right hand pocket ed, while Senator Lindsay strode from the democratic over to the Republican side, with both his hands in his pock ets, almost running into Senator Xodge, wno was carrying his in the same way. I could not help thinking of the old story of Daniel Webster and tho button on hia jacket, which he always used to twirl while making his best recitations in school, It is said that a little girl who had long stood next to hlin in his spelling class, and who was ambitions to pass him, contrived one day to snip off this button, and at the next recita tion, when Daniel felt for it and found it missing, he was so overcome that he, missed the world put to him, and bis clever rival went to tho head of the class. Suppose some malicious person, bent on destroying the comfort and dig nity of tho' senate, should contrive to have the trousers pockets of all the son- atora aewed up over night, what would become of American oratory and legis lation the next day! Kate Field's Washington. Picture Owuera Oettlug Tired. The owners of worka of art not only in England, but throughout Europe, complain of the injustice of the increas ing demands for the loan of their treas ures for international, national and lo cal exhibitions, says a New York Sun correspondent. The pictures just re turned from Chicago are wanted imme diately for Vienna and then for Ant werp. English owners are openly talk- Ing of refusing. To refuse to lend seems churlish, bowever, and might prove, damaging to the leputation, not merely of individual artists, but of the British school. On the other hand, if the own ers lend whenever they are asked they never have possession of their own pic tures. The Royal academy will prob ably soon consider the dilemma. Buddhism In Paris, A fresh propaganda of Buddhism is being undertaken in Paris, says n corre spondent. It ia asserted that 00,000 Pa risians now profess the ancient religion. Many well known women describe them selves as oclectic Buddhists. A littio volume gives a summary of the doc trines of the new creed. It has just been printed, and large uumbers have been bought by wealthy neophytes and will he distributed next week among all classes. The converts are not expected to desert the churches of which they are members. The copies of the book have been bound in black morocco, gild ed to resemble prayer books. Her Faith Led to Death.
