Wanted Eliewhere. The road to the gallows would seem plain for Searcey, the negro now in the county jail, charged with the murder of the man whose body was ionnd near Bagdad, with the head beaten out ef all emblance to human form. Diitriot Attorney Daley went to. the desert several days ago to look for more evidence in the case, and the same day be left the city, word came of the finding of the money which the murderer had taken from his victim, and then secreted when captured. Now this is followed by telegram from Mr.

Daley, which makes the outlook fur the negro still more hopeless. Here is the telegram Needles, Dec. 11, 1890. M. Sprecher, Aaslitant Dlitrlct Attorney.

Have Grand Jury meet next Wednesday to hear negro case. Will subputna witnesses for that day. Kvidence complete. F. B.

Daley. When Searcey was arrested at Bagdad, he denied the murder, but admitted that be was wanted in Arizona on some other charge, and a telegram received yesterday by bberilf llolcomb shows that in at least one thing Searcey told the truth. The telegram Is from the Sheriff at I'rescott, and is as follows: I'kehcott, Dec. 11, 1890. Sheriff Holcouib, Ben Bernardino, Dear Bib Your telegram, with description of the negro Hearcey, received, lie is the same man that I have a warrant for for burglary.

Please let me know the result of his examination on the charge of murder which you have against him. If it should be that you can't hold biiu on that charge wire me and I will come and get him. Very respectfully, C. G. Rl'IFNER.

The Grand Jury meets tomorrow, and District Attorney Daley is expected to return today, so that the case will be taken op at once. WANT TO PLAY BASEBALL SOME Of THE OLD-TIMERS STILL FEEL ATHLETIC. Challenge te the High Sehoel Club, Who the Old -Timers Are and Where They Played. To the Hioh School Bask Ball Clus: The Commercial Baaeball club of ban Bemar dlno hereby challenge! you to a match game ol baieball to be played In this city during Chrutmu week, the afternoon ol Cbrlitmaa day preferred, and Saturday afternoon excepted. B.

J. ifXK, Captain. And this is their defi. For some time a number of "old time" baseball players in this city have been wishing there would be some opportunity for a game with a local club, and the announcement of the organization of a club in the High School fornished the opportunity desired. The old-timers may not be as spry as they were a few years ago when in activs practice, but there are enough of them who need to play good ball that they are entirely willing to undertake the contract, and if the liigh School boys will accept, as they are certain to do, the game will be he feature of holiday week.

There are a number of ex-professional and seini-profesBional players in town, some of whom have been out of play for three or four years and some for a little longer. Jones, who baa been a leading spirit in working up the proposition, was a famous first baseman, and is still able to hold down the initial bag in good shape. Harry Corlette has a record as a fielder and batter, and he is on the list. Herman Marks is an all-round player who is in active practice, or at least played last year. He is all right at either end of the battery.

Gus Mespelt has played ball in faster company than he is likely to find here, some of his fellow players of other years being now in the league. He is scheduled at third. Dr. tlazelett was a "fan" before he became a sawbones, and be is down for a position. L.

Vaughn is another experienced player, while in D. E. Dorsey the Commercials will have great catcher. Dorsey played professionally with the Kansas City team, and he's all right. T.

J. Spooner is another of the old-timers who ia counted on, while R. C. Harbison bad several years work at the propelling end of the battery, and still has his arm. Rudy Bruck-raao and Al Frantz complete the list of 1 1 men, both of them well known on the diamond with the old ban Bernardino clubs.

And for the next two weeks those va rious people may be expected to use the Indian clubs and dumbbells vigorously. getting limbered up for the game, while some of them will no doubt try to sprint around the block to see how their wind is. And all of them one way and an other will be getting into condition for the game. TO EAT CHRISTMAS TURKEY WELLS, FAROO CO. MAKE PRES.

ENTS TO ALL EMPLOYER. More Than 10,000 Man te Be Boneflcl rles of President Valentine's Liberality. Welle, Fargo Co. deserve great credit for beini; one of the most liberal of com1 panies in the treatment of their em ployes. Official notice has just been received by tho local agent, Mr.

R. Blow, that every man In the employ Of tbe company will be given a chance to partake of Christmas turkey at the ex pense of the corporation and what ia more the orJer comes direct from tbe president of the company, John Valentine. This is not the first time during tbii season that the employes ol the company have been remembered in a sub stantial manner. Thanksgiving day found each man supplied with a turkey, and they were not ol tne scrawny, au-neck variety, either but the large, fleshy, portly kind that makes the heart of the average cook glad and the stomach of the hard working expressman satisfied. K.

T. Blow of this city, who is always praising the merits of the Wells-Fargo system, says that the donation is in a line with the liberality which the com- any exhibits on every possible pretext, fe estimates that there are over 10,000 men in the employ of the system who received turkeys on ihanitBgiving, and will attain receive them on Christmas. The expense of the present can be estimated from this to reach over $18,000 for the two gifts. Would there wete more companies like this one, and more power to the elbow of John J. Valentine.

WHAT WE MANUFACTURE, Aft INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION TO BE HELD AT LO ANGELES. The Display of Factory Product! of Southern California Something of the Plans. "Patronize Home Industry," has been the battle cry of the manufacturers and merchants of Southern California for many years. Unsuccessful attempts have been made at different times to cU the attention of consumers to the excellence of borne products, but the problem of finding a home market has not been solved to any satisfactory degree. In a recent article in the Century magazine a writer, in discussing the future possibilities of Southern California, called attention to the fact that marmalades are being shipped from the East under English and French labels, these delicacies having been manufactured from oranges sent from Southern California.

Tbey are then placed in the market here and the consumer has to pay the freight on two transcontinental shipments. Yet the article is manufactured in Southern California, but tbe Eastern product finds a ready sale to tbe exclusion of the home product. What has been the experience of this delicacy ia true of many other borne productions. Olive oil, for example, manufactured from olives raised here and shipped East are sold under foreign labels, while a limited market is found at home for the home manufacture. The Merchants' and Manufacturers' association of Los Angeles, realizing that some effort should be made of a more practical character to bring to tbe notice of consumers tbe necessity of patronizing and fostering home industry, has de cided, to hold a Home Products Exhi bition" at Hazard's pavilion, January ltith to February 0th, 18U7, inclusive.

In this important movement it has received the endorsement and hearty co operation of the Chamber of Commerce aad Board ol trade. Ban Francisco has for many years auc- essfully conducted the "Mechanic's Fair," thereby introducing to consumers the products of its factories and manu facturing establishments. What ban Fransisco has done for Northern California, the Merchants' and Manufactur ers' association of Los Angeles proposes to accomplish lor the southern section of tbe state. It ia believed that by an elaborate and complete exhibit of all tbe articles and products manufactured in bouthern California, the consumer will receive a clear understanding and full apprecia tion of the value and extent of our home industry. It will bring producer and consumer closer together and give an Additional impetos to tbe industrial de velopment ol bouthern California.

the exhibit will compriseevery varie ty of articles manufactured In Southern California. Along the large spaces as- igned to exhibitors will be displayed dried fruits, articles manufactured from tbe products of the soil, gloves, shoes, jewelry, cotton, woolen and silken goods. cigars, condies. crackers, perfumes, the different mineral resources, dairy pro duce, and machinery will be in full operation. One of tbe most complete art galleries ever sees in Southern Califor nia will form a great attraction.

lhe Executive committee, consisting of K. W. Pridham, J. G. Chamberlain, A.

Stuart, Fred L. Baker. It. H. Her- ron and C.

D. Gray, all well known and prominent business men, have taken great pains and have been untiring in their efforts to make tbis exhibition of sabstantial value to the manufacturers and merchants of this section. An elaborate program has besn ar ranged for each day during which the exhibition will be held, including vocal and instrumental music of the highest order, and special featuiea that will make tbe exhibition a place of amusement as well as learning. Ibedate for holding tbe exhibition has been so arranged that it will take place at a time when many tourists visit Soathern California, who will be thus made acquainted with the vast and varied resources of this varied section. Further information will be gladly supplied by addressing the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association, 228 Wilcox Building, Los Angeles.

Hli Plan Waa to Steal Beveral Beta and Change the Part! to Avoid IdentlUcatlon. Ott Taylor, tbe individual who has been stealing harness in the vicinity of Rincon and Chino, and then came to Ilia city to dispose of it, has finally come to grief, being arrested near Perris Friday night by Deputy Sheriffs Heap and Whaley. Tbe officers returned to the city yesterday, bringing the prisoner with them, and he is now in jail awaiting tbe action of tbe Grand Jury. Taylor is tbe ttiiel who was referred to in Friday's Sun as having stolen several sets of harness from J. W.

Hathaway at Rincon, and Hathaway came to this city and recovered part of the property at a second-band store, where Taylor bad disposed of it. Taylor has been living in Riverside, and by a clever ruse yesterday, he threw tbe officers off the track for au hour and possibly assisted his wife to conceal other evidences of his thieving. She was with him when be was arrested in Perris, and when tbe officers started with Taylor, she came along in another vehicle which she drove. Tbe party headed for Riverside, and the officers arked Taylor where be lived, and Taylor told them, but it was observed that the woman turned in another direction when the citv was reached. The reBult showed that she had gone home, while Taylor took the officers to another part of the town and back again.

ben tbey ar rived tbey found nothing. Taylor' method has been to steal sev eral sets of harness, and then change the parts, so that identification became almost impossible, and the officers have no doubt of the present case against him. Disposed of the Nail. The horse shoe nail which was swal lowed Thursday by Wallace Barton has been disposed of, nature acting with the treatment prescribed, and strange as it may seem, the boy suffered no pain or inconvenience whatever.

TRAMPS ROB A WINERY AND A FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT ENSUES. 'iOTernment Gauger Shot In Arm, and Amputation Waa Necauary. the Rochester, Dec. 12. (Regular Correspondence of The Sun).

Two tramps made a raid on the winery of Joseph Gecman here Thursday, and in the melee which followed a government ganger was shot in tbe arm, and the wounded member was amputated in a hospital in Los Angeles yesterday. One of the tramps was captured yes terday in Colton by Fred Pourade and a constable from Ontario, but the principal offender has escaped. They came to the winery and went in with a rush, the taller of the two swinging a revolver and shooting promiscuously, and when once inside, they ransacked the place and secured $2o in money, besides some other things. But by the time they were ready, a son of Gecman had run to the house and secuied a shot gun, which he came running with, and gave it to his father. As the tramps came out the tall one was caught around the body by the guager, whi.se name is Bell.

He grabbed the tramp from behind, and was holding him securely, when Gecman raised the shot gun and fired, the charge taking effect in Bell's arm, and literally shooting it away. Of course he let go of the robber, and he fled and escaped. The one captuied at Colton says he knows nothing of the wheroabouts of bis pal. II was taken to San Bernardino and lodged in jail. SEVENTY-FIVE CAR LOADS THE ORANOKd SHIPPED LAST NIGHT.

EAST That Wai the Santa Fe'i Record 8U "Double Header!" Over the Hill. Saturday night was ti busiest one in tbe Santa Fo freight yards in this city in nearly a year. Not only were tbe orange shipments heavy, tbe heaviest of the week, but all other freight was correspondingly heavy, and 12 freight engines went out of the yards, beaded over the hill. The orasge shipments last night were 75 cars, all rushing to tbe east for tbe Christmas trade, and this by one line only. It became necessary to make up six "double headers," and that number of freight trains went out during the early part of the night, and how heavy the traffic may have been after 2 o'clock Tbe Sun does not know, for at that hour this morning it received its last report.

But sucb heavy traffic is necessitating the employment of extra men, both in the shops and on the road. Freight crews are working extra until it is im possible for them to handle the business, and more must be added. All of which will add to the business of tbis city. MORE FR JIT PESTS. Mandarin Orangei Pound to Be In- felted.

Horticultural Commissioner Pease has received a sample of Mandarin oranges imported from Japan by an Oakland firm, which i infestel with at least two kinds of fruit pests, and the worst of it is that the sample is one of a shipment of 30 boxes which was sent to this county to be reshipped East in a car of oranges. Handling them in tbe packing bouse would give every opportunity for some of the scale to be left in the county, and to ultimately reach the orchards and infest tbe trees. Of the two parasites, one was the pur pie scale (mytilaspin citricola). which is known and feared by the orchardists of Florida, where it has created havoc in their trees. The other was an un known species, and Mr.

Pease forward ed it to the government etomologists in the Agricultural department at Wash ngton for classification. Keep up hope.

Barton is endeavoring to di gest a nail which he swallowed Thursday afternoon, and with the assistance of castor oil and slippery elm, which the physician who was called prescribed, hopes to succeed. The Bartons live on East Seventh street, near the cemetery, and while playing with a number of boys of his own age, Wallace took a horseshoe nail in his mouth, and while holding it there, it was turned "head downward, and slipped down bis throat. Dr. W. Thompson was called with all speed, and when be learned the situation he prescribed as stated, in the hope that the nail might be assisted on its way along the alimentary canal by a smooth coating, and that it may be disposed of by nature, and without causing any particular difficulty.

Tbe boy has not as yet suffered any pain or inconvenience whatever, and an examination yesterday developed the fact that the nail bad paBted through the stomach and was then in the intestines. If it does not "get crossways," and the point of it pierce the intestines, the physician autici pates no serious difficulty, but should that occur, then an operation will be neceBsary to remove it. The case will be watched with considerable interest by the medical fraternity, for while there are records of sucb things in the books, tbey are by no mean common. The b.iy can locate the nail by pressing on the abdomen, but feels no pain in doing so. When Baby waa sick, we gave her Caitorta, When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla.

For several weeks there have been rumors of a proposed brick block on the west side of street, facing tbe Stewart hotel, and it was hoped that the report might be correct, but developments have proceeded to a point where it is practically certain that the block will be but one Btory, if it is built at all, and will be occupied by a livery stable and a blacksmith shop. NY lien the subject was first broached, Mr.

Hubbard was willing to build two stories, providing renters could be ob tained, und several of the lodges of tbe city were approached, and an attempt was made to have them agree to take tialts in the building, but nothing came of the plan. It was tin suggested that the city might move its others from street, but a canvas of the situation de veloped the fact that the rent now paid for the building occupied as a City Hall was lesB than could be hoped fo in the new building, and that has now been abandoned. However, the promoters of the enterprise are still working on the plan of having a one story building to be occupied by a livery stable, and It is understood that an architect has been in con sultation with M. F. Ciopley, and some estimates will be made, when the ones tion of rental will then be discussed.

The dimensions of the proposed build ing are to be 00x220 feet, aud one Btory high. The new building would be a desira ble improvement to that part of the city, but the purpose for which it is to be used if btiiltmight not be so desirable. To have a large stable directly across the street Irom the leading hotel of the city, and in the direction from which the prevailing wind blows, might not be so desirable as it might seem at first thought.

oedeutd. Ik Over 250 cars loided with orange have been shipped to the Eastern markets from Southern California during the present week, and the heavy shipments will probably continue until early in the week. The rush is due to the fact that tbe fruit is ripe and the growers are taking advantage of the Christmas trade. The volume of the business has scarcely ever been equalled before. ruui me oania re sialic.

in this city 49 cars were billed out during last night. That was the record at 1 :80 thin morn ing, and it is possible that other freight trains to come in later in the night would briDg more cars loaded with tho the golden fruit, fur all oranges shipped from Southern California over the sauta-Fe, except those cars from Los Angeles, are billed east from this city. On Thursday night the record was almost as heavy, 30 cars going out by this line, while 40 cars were sent over tbe hill on Wednesday night. The Southern Pacific shipments are almost as heavy. On Thursday night, 24 cars of oranges were shipped from Redjands, Riverside and Colton, while the total number of cars sent out from Sunday night to Thursday night, including the latter, was 115.

Such remarkably heavy shipments in December were never known before, while the price is such as to bring joy to the orcbardist. At Highland, where the oranges ripen earlier possibly than ajy place in Southern California, it is estimated that one-third of tbe crop will have been shipped before Christmas. At Redlands and the other districts in tbe county tbe shipments will not amount to that proportion of the crop, but a record of 300 cars for the second week in December, and total will probably reach that with tonight's shipments, is certainl unparalleled.
