One branch of the order of California that is doing the work of Odd Fellowship In a very quiet manner is the general relief committee, fays the California Odd Fellow. This part of Odd Fellowship had its origin before the existence of any lodge In this State and is a California idea.

Only those who have been members of the committee know the amount of good work it is constantly doing. Among the number of general relief committees in California is one located at Los Angeles. This committee was originated in 1870 and has been caring for the transient sick members of the order in that vicinity ever since. Since January 1 they have cared lor eighty-three visitors and for the past five years they have ex- pended on an average $6000 per year for sick benefits and relief. Each year the work of the committee becomes greater.

From the time of the organizations of this committee the ex- penses have been borne entirely by the lodges in Los Angeles. A. 0. U. W.

DEATH OF HENRY WINDT. The Grocer From Injuries Sustained in the Runaway Accident. Henry Windt, a grocer, who was badly injured by a runaway accident on Washington street, near Kearny, last Wednesday morning, died yesterday in the German Hospital. Windt was driving down Washington street and a little below Stockton his team ran away and dashed down the steep hill to Kearny, where an ice wagon was passing. The driver of the ice wagon saw the approaching runaway team and tried to get his own team out of the way.

The runaway horses struck the ice wagon, throwing the driver out upon the ground, but he fortunately escaped injury. Windt was thrown to the ground and the wheels of the ice wagon passed over his body. The injured man was removed to the Receiving Hospital and later to the German Hospital. Windt was a German, 47 years of age. He leaves a widow and four children.

His grocery-store is on the northwest corner of Hyde street and Broadway. Windt was a member of the orders of Odd Fellows, orkmen and Foresters, and at one time he was a Republican county committeeman. The Elcho'a Second Shoot.

Midsummer is approaching, when the dullness incidental to that season will have a marked effect upon the volume of real estate transactions. Agents report a falling off of inquiries, which is always expected about this time of the year. They arc all busy, however, closing up the many sales that have been made during the past few months, which is shown by the number of deeds that have been recorded in the last two weeks. The many details connected with the consummation of sales causjes a lull at this time desirable to a certain extent, as it will afford an opportunity to clear up all the old business and prepare for the revival of the market in July. Buyers, however, are not wanting and are inclined to meet the sellers half way, and, as values are certain of advancement from present figures, the prospects are good.

There are good times ahead and the man who is first to realize it will be the first to get the benefit. BRIGHT COUNTRY PROSPECTS. How much the certain advance in the price of wheat and grapes means for California can be but partly grasped. It has been evident that in a large measure the hard times were due to a lack of a proper return for the investment in the farm. The instrinsic value of the land has been the same, the soil is as fertile, the climate as genial, the machinery as good, the labor as efficient, as in the times of the greatest prosperity, but the prices for the products of the vineyard, orchard and field have been anything but the best.

But the era of discouragement for the agriculturist in this State is over, the farming industry is on the up grade. During last week immense quantities of wine grapes in Sonoma County were contracted lor at $12 and $15 per ton, while in Santa Clara County the crop of one of the largest vineyards has been sold at $15 per ton. Following this comes the news from the country departments of the real estate offices of an increased demand for vineyards and orchards. Confidence is at last restored in the wheat market and signs point to good prices for this year's yield. This is owing in a measure to the decrease in the wheat productions of foreign countries, the reduction of the wheat-growing acreage in other States of the Union, the war in the Orient and the supply on band at the present time.

According to statistics California's stock of wheat on June 1, 1895, was over a million centals less than it was a year previous. While there is a manifest determination on the part of the progressive residents of every section of California to develop the State themselves and reap the full reward of it. at the same time to induce outside capital to come here and furnish additional employment to the wage-worker is desirable, and nothing will more encourage the hesitating immigrant than the fact that the year of 1895 has been a prosperous one for the California farmer. CITY SALES FOR MAY. The llibcrnia Bank, with its reduced interest of percent the bank paying the mortgage tax last month loaned $446,980, while its loans for April were only $287,000.

Other banks, although they have not announced a reduction, are not refusing choice loans at a reduced rate. BUILDING MATTERS. The building interests are in a very prosperous condition. During the week the following contracts have been recorded: W. F.

The West Oakland Mutual Loan Association met last Thursday evening. Secretary A. Sbarboro read his quarterly report, which shows the receipts for the past three months to have been $28,000. Five thousand four hundred dollars was loaned out and $20,000 was used to pay up matured stock of the seventh series to the full amount of $200 per share. Reports show that this association is now twenty years old, having been organized in July, 1875; that during this period it has assisted over 500 of its members to procure homes for their families, aggregating that during this long period of time it has foreclosed only one single mortgage, the property taken costing the association $2,708, which property has just been sold for $2,750, leaving a deficit to the association of only $18, which is the only loss this association has sustained in twenty years.

A meeting of the San Francisco Mutual Loan Association was held last Wednesday evening. Thomas J. Welsh, presiding at the meeting, stated that the shares of the third series had now matured to the full value of $200 each that there were 300 free shares, requiring $00,000 to pay them up; that $5000 would be set aside every month with which to take up these shares, and the privilege to surrender would be put up at auction from month to month until all the fahares would be canceled.

This has been found necessary, owing to the increase of the business of the title insurance company.

It expedites the settlement of complicated obstructions in titles. The property of the Castro street Land Company, owned at one time by the late Senator Stanford, comprising several thousand lots situated a little beyond Thirtieth street, is being subdivided, graded and sewered. The improvements embrace the construction of a main sewer in the lowest street and all needed side sewers, gutterways, as well as the curbing and macadamizing of the streets. The streets are not laid out at right angles, but in serpentine lines in conformity with the topography of the land, which is hilly. The beauty of "the tract will thus be greatly enhanced by its present improvement.

Heavy cuts on either side of the streets will he avoided, leaving the lots in good shape for building purposes. The work is under the immediate charge of A. S. Baldwin, of the firm of Baldwin Hammond. The contract was let to A.

E. Buckman, who is pwshinc the improvements to an early completion, when the property will probably be put upon the market and sold. After the completion of the improvements now being made by the Castrostreet Land Company other propositions will be carried out that will greatly benefit this section of the City. Gaman Lyon are in receipt of a letter from Delaware, Ohio, bearing the date of May 27, in which the following occurs: "The fruit crop, notably grapes, East and South is almost totally lost, and it now looks like the vines are dead. Ali the vines of the big New York vineyards are killed, and the same is true of Ohio and the Central and Eastern States and as far west as Colorado.

The orange and lemon groves of the South and all trees not hardy are killed outright and are being cut down in hopes that they will sprout up from the roots." DISAPPOINTED SPORTS An Abscess Prevented McAlpin and Harris From Fighting. A MILL FOR NEXT SUNDAY. Spider Kelly and Tom Burns From Australia to Meet In the Prize Ring. The prizefight for $500 a side between Billy McAJpin and Charles Harris did not take place yesterday afternoon as advertised around town through the medium of mysteriously worded posters. The battle was to have been limited to twenty-five iounda and the lighting weight of the men at 145 pounds, that being the weight at noon June 9.

All that could be ascertained by the uninitiated was that the tight would come off some time between 4 and 6 o'olock yesterday afternoon, and that a boat would leave the Tiburon slip for the accommodation of anxious spectators, their number being confined to 200 at $2 each. To those in the secret, however, it was known that in a nice quiet spot on the other side of the bay a regulation ring surrounded by circular tiers of benches was in readiness for the scrappers, their supporters and the usual crowd of curious sports. The disappointment was keen. Some went to the Tiburon slip and waited until the north wind had chilled the marrow in their bones, and others besieged the managers of the affair for reasons as to the why and wherefore. A rumor was started that the police had "spotted" the fight and the fighters, and that fear of arrest deterred the principals from fulfilling their engagement.

This caused a howl of wrath from the disappointed sports, and they were only to be appeased by the, promise, in mysterious whispers, accompanied by knowing winks, of a greater treat next Sunday, when Spider Kelly of local pugilistic fame and Tom Burns," the Australian middle-weight, will fight a finish contest with skin gloves but the bills will not say so. Where the contest is to take place will not be announced until the tickets are sold to members of the fraternity. After the feeling of disappointment had subsided and the sports were able to grasp the fact that they could witness no "scrap yesterday, a closer inquiry was made into the real cause of the failure to connect. It was stated on authority that Billy Mc- Alpin could not right on account of an abscess of the kidneys, resulting from a blow received while training for the light. Whether there was a rock in the glove that struck him his trainer, A.

B. St. Clair, did not say. He was brought down from Middletown and is at present staying with relatives on Twentieth street. Harris, who was to have tried to pnnch the consciousness and fighting capacity out of McAlpin, is in good condition.

He felt confident of "doing" his man, and he will make a vigorous demand for the $50 forfeit money. The forfeit still stands. Spider Kelly is in training for the fight next Sunday with his trainer, Tim Mc- Grand, at the Cliff House. Burns is also in training near here, trying to wear off seven pounds of Jsurpliis weight. He weighs 152 pounds and must enter the ring at 145.

His trainer is Billy Shannon. The scrappers, it is said, came very near fighting the battle ahead of schedule time, when they met with their respective managers to sign the articles. Kelly wanted to fight at 140 pounds, and in the debate which ensued, tne pugnacious instincts of the two fighters became assertive, and the managers had their hands full to prevent an exhibition without the usual price of admission. Barring abscesses and the police, the mill will come off next Sunday, when a boat will leave for the accommodation of spectators at 9 o'clock a. m.

Fritz Hunt Kxplains Why He "Was Arrested for Assault to Murder. Michael McCarthy and Fritz Hunt live in the same house at 68 Brady street. Hunt owns the house, while McCarthy is a tenant occupying the first floor, "yet Hunt slept last night at the City Prison, while McCarthy occupied the house. Hunt is a German, 54 years of age and not very good looking, yet he says he is in jail because McCarthy was jealous. Mc- CarMiy, Le says, is a painter out of work, whose wife supports him by doing washing.

For some reason Hunt can think of none but jealousy, though he asserts that Mrs. McCarthy is in every way an admirable woman and Mr. McCarthy declared that he would whip Hunt. Hunt asserts that McCarthy tried to put this threat into execution yesterday with a putty-knife for a weapon. He had defended himself with his club and was arrested on a charge of trying to murder his opponent.

McCarthy saya that Hunt is quarrelsome and attacked" him without provocation. Name. i 3 if DO 3 bosen Friends. 244 June llJune 435 36 37 -May 20 Jinn and L. of 415 416 June rder of Pemlo 14 June ljJune v.
