A competitive drill of all the companies will determine its posses- sion, the company making the best show- ing on the drill being rewarded by the possession of the gun. The Accles gun has several points of su- periority over the old model, among which may be mentioned a_modification of the operating-crank, which prevents oscilla- tion of the piece and insures greater accu- racy of fire. The firing mechanism can also be thrown in or out of gear instantly { without interrupting the motion of the | crank, thus regulating the discharge and preventing any waste of ammunition. A safety device operated by a small throws the cocking-cam out of action, fur- nishing a precaution against accidents and aready means of disabling the piece in case of capture.

For some time past numerous burglaries have been attempted, and several have | been accomplished, in the vicinity of Clar- endon Heights and the Western Addition. Everything pointed to the fact that they were committed by boys, and suspicion fell upon three who have been watched by the police. | " They were George Wilson, alias Lynch, and Thomas Lee, aged 17 years each, and John Kearny, aged 15. Yesterday Police Officer Harry Reynolds saw them on Clay- ton street and they made three different | attempts to break imo houses. At the third }muse the officer, with the aid of two laborers, captured the young marauders and Jocked them up on acharge of at- tempted burglary. Officer Reynolds is quite sure that these are the troublesome thieves, and also that they are the ones who forced an entrance |into Police Officer ‘“‘Scotty” Campbell’s | house a few days ago. It is likely that | other charges will be placed against them. HOWE WAS IN CONTENPR | | |IT CosTS HIM TWENTY DOLLARS | TO CALL SPINNETTI A 1 “DAGO.” | S | THE DIVORCE CASE OF WHALD . AcaiNsT WHALD Is RE- | OP: ED. i The case of Whald against Whald has been reopened and in the reopening the differences between the various attorneys connected with the case ‘have been in a measure settled and George W. Howe has been fined $20 for contempt of court. Originally the case was a divorce pro- ceeding, but it has lately developed into a squabble among attorneys. But the decree of divorce has been set aside and with the levying of the contempt fine the case has once more become what it w: an action for divorce brought by Catherine Whald | against Charles Whald, a ship-carpenter of Benicia. The case before Judge Daingerfield yes- terday was a motion made by A. J. Spin- netti to set aside the decree of divorce and default entered by Whald’s former attor- bt G. W. Howe, on the ground that the default was unauthorized and the decree was procured through the influence, if nothing more. < attorney, Howe. Howe took exceptions to the remarks of Spinnetti in making the motion, and he concluded his address to the court with the muttered allegation that Spinnetti was a ‘‘dago.” Spinnetti heard the words and ed the attention of the courtto them. Howe said he bad not uttered the word *‘dago,” but had said “lago,” though | wherein the differen lay he was at a loss to explain. Seeing the clouds gatherin, on the judicial brow Howe then proteeded to make abject apologies to everybody, but he only sueceeded in “partially squaring himse]!’, for the court imposed $20 worth of | [From an THE NEW GUN FOR THE NAVAL RESERVE. engraving.) | beheld in the Echo Mountain Hotel, and | next day the companions will be enter- tained at dinner in San Diego.

The election of officers for the ensuing term is the most important | business to come before the encampm The most prominent candidates for di { ion commander are: Charles E. Wilson of this city, the present judge advocate of the organization; W. R. Thomas of Oakland, commander of Appomattox Post, and John | Burke, the Bacramento member of the council of administration. W. B. Mayd- well of Sacramento, adjutant of Sumner Post, is the only candidate for senior vice- division commander. For junior vice- division commander, T. Sullivan of Santa Cruz and George W. Hopkins of Arcata are mentioned. The encampment will also fill five vacancies on the board of directors of the Veterans' Home Associa- tion. The divisional convention of the Women’s Relief Corps will take place in | the Senate chamber at the same time. In regular army and navy circles there is little in the way of news. Chief Pay- master Major A. E. Bates has returned to duty from leave at New York. Major Maynadier of the same corps is recoverin from his recent illness, and Major W Hg Comegys, who has been temporarily on duty here, is awaiting orders for his de- parture. Colonel George H. Mendell, who has been stationed here for many years, isin | the direct line of promotion to succeed Brigadier-General Casey as chief of the | engineer corps. General Casey will be re- tired in May and Colonel Mendell in October, so that at best he will wear the star only a few months. Naval officers are trying to have their ships ordered to_San Francisco instead of being kept at Mare Island when in this port. They think the people should be iven an opportunity of inspecting the ig vessels of war. It is claimed that the ships have becn_kef)t at Mare Island largely because of poiitical influence. TROUBLES OF THE LANGS, Mrs. Lang May Keep Her Child for a Week. The controversy between M. H. Lang and Mrs. Lang over the custody of their child came before Judge Troutt yesterday. Mr. Lang alleges that his wife, who was divorced from him several years ago, is not a fit person to care for the child—a lit- contempt, and ordered that the free- spoken ex-attorney should Send four days in jail if he did not pay it. Howe had $10 in his pocket, and some friend “staked” him to the extent of §10 more, so he paid his fine. here was considerable objection from various attorneys as_to the affidavit which Howe had submitted in answer to the afli- davit filed by Spinnetti, and for the greater part of the day’s session the time of the court was taken up in listening tospeeches of vindication. 1t finally ended with the | ruling of the court that the affidavit sub- | mitted by Howe be thrown out because it | was scandalous and impertinent, and that this be done without prejudice to attorneys Meldon and Hernan, who, if this last {;hrnse had not been included, would have een reflected upon. They were both in- clnded in the statements of Howe. The case comes up next Thursday for trial. ————— WHERE can a successful rival to Dr. Price’s Baking Powder be found ? Nowhere.

Frank Garcia, the barkeeper of a Mont- gomery-street saloon, kept by his father, was before’ Judge Hunt yesterday in the guise of one who had contempt for the court. His contempt eonsisted is refusing to obey the order of the court to pay his ex-wife $75 a month alimony. Garcia had let the divorce suit brought by his wife 20 by default, but at that time he never ex- i:xected to be charged $75 a month alimony. ad he had an idea to that effect at the time he would have contested vigorously, and he o explained to the court yesterday. He declared that he had no interest in the saloon where he works, but was employed at asalary of $125 a month. Should he pay $75 of this out for the sl‘x&i;ort of an ex- wile, he represented, he would be seriousl: handicapped in his race for aliving. He therefore asked that the case be reopened and that he be allowed to disprove the firounda upon which his wife secured her ivorce from him.

MaRrIED His AccompricE FoOUR Days AFTER THE FIRST ‘W EDDING. Thomas James Duffey, who until the 28th inst. was driver of fire-engine 5, situ- ated on Stockton street, between Pacific and Broadway, was married on January 27 to Mary Brown of 1012 Battery street, and four days later, his wife being yet living, to Mary McCurean of Telegraph Hill. Wednesday evening last Duffey and his accomplice in the second and void mar- riage boarded the river boat for Stockton. The innocent victim of Duffey’s rascality is almost heartbroken from the shock of her sudden awakening to Duffey’s true nature, and the present whereabouts of Mary McCurean and her pretended hus- band is unknown. Duffey came from Boston about two years ago; in January, 1804, obtained an appointment as extraman in engine com- pany 1, on Pacific street, near Sansome, and T N VI Q) — Vi ’/////O Mary Duffey, the Rightful Wife. was promoted eventually, at District En- gineer P, H.

He gave the name James Duffy on No- vember 8, 1894, when he obtained the li- cense to marry Miss Brown, and was married under that name to her by Justice J. E. Barry. When he obtained a license o marry Mary McCurean on January 31 in Oakland he gave the name Thomas J. Duffey, and was married under that name by Rev. Father Michael King. Duffey swore also that he was a resident of Sacra- mento and that Mary McCurean was a resident of Oakland. Duffey asked Rev. Father Corcoran to perform the ceremony of the first mar- riage, but his request was refused on the ground that the priest did not know him weil enough. Ex-Judge F. A. Hornblower and Miss Lizzie Brown, sister of the bride, were the witnesses of Duifey’s marriage to Mary Brown. Miss Kittie McDonald, employed in the California Biscuit Company’s fac- tory, and Eugene Sullivan, who has no known occupation, but makes his head- quarters at a saloon _at Battery and Green streets, were the bridesmaid and grooms- nmn,”respecti\'ely, at the second “mar- Ti age.

A slight explosion of gas on the steamer Bawnmore yesterday morning resulted in severe injuries to two employes of the Union Iron Works. The vessel is being repaired at the latter place, and the two men went into the hold with a lighted candle. Immediately there tvas a bright flare of light and the men were knocked backward. Their cries brought assistance, and their comrades carried them out on deck, Subsequently they were removed to a neighboring drugstore, where it was dis- covered that tbeir hair had been singed and their faces and throats badly burned. They were taken to their homes, and it will be several days before they can go to work again. It appears that David Llewellyn, a brother of Hon. William Llewellyn, mem- ber of the Assembly from Los Angeles, 2 Frederick Pilgrim” went into the tank- hold of the steamer to make some repairs, and when the explosion of the oil gas took lace Llewellyn was knocked down. Pilgrim, badly burned, hurried up the ladder, but hearing the cries of his wounded and _suffocating _compani bravely went back into the oily tan carried him into the open’air. The Bawnmore is the unlucky ship of the ocean. She has had accidents in every ortion of the globe and suits without num- ber. Several of her owners have been bankrupted, and her captain is suing the vessel for his wages. S ARE you in a hurry with the biscuit?

PaRis Is NoT so Brack as IT Has BEeEN PAINTED—A Mock- ING CITY. “French Character” was the subject of an amusing lecture last night in Union- square Hall by Rev. E. J. Dupuy. The speaker used his native language and most | of his hearers were members of the French | coleny. “As arule,” he said, the French live very tranquilly in their own country, and trouble but little about the outside world. In the provinces the family exists almost | entirely in a_patriarchal sense, and there | is little individual independence. The | rls there can cook and keep house, but ey do not understand literature or art. If you chanced for instance to ask one of | them, ‘Have you read Zola's novel “Le Reve” '—you know he wrote that book for | young girls—she would probably answer, ‘Is itin verse or prose?’ The provincial | girl, in short, can keep house, but you must not expect her to make conversation. She cannot do ‘“The Parisian is a being apart. Heis inconstant, and like the ther- volatile, mometer he changes with the weather. Impertinence is the Parisian’s specialty. You may go to America, Russia, iealy or England, fiut vou will not find real im- ertinence out of Paris. The Parisian can e roughly impertinent, but his mockery is enveloped In politeness, like a pill in sugar. The foreigner does not always see through it. An Englishman, for instance, never understands, on the contrary he thanks the Parisian for his extreme polite- ness.” The speaker then explained how a woman in a “loud” toilette, or a man with ‘‘a caricature of a face’’ can never take ten steps in Paris without overhearing some- thing ear-tingling either from the passers- by or the street gamins. ‘‘But if you are assailed this way it is better not to get angry; vou only expose yourself to fur- ther ridicule.” "Mr. Dupuy stated, how- ever, that in_spite of tnese Parisian pro- clivities the Frenchman is courteous and olite, both by nature and tradition. hen he fired a few shots into the Bourget- Clemens controversy. “In America France has been treated as immoral above all with regard to her women. Well, it is unjust. Take any for- eigner, American or otherwise, when he gets to Paris does he go to visit the libra- ries and the charitable institutions? Noj; he seeks out the resorts that he condemns elsewhere. France has more purity than people believe, and she is perhaps wrong not to defend herself a_little. She con- tents herself, however, with shrugging her shuu!,ders and attending to her own busi- ness. ——— An ingenious Scotchman has devised a thread-spinning apparatus that is operated by two trained mice.
