) THE N FRANCISCO OALL, SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 1895. ARRESTED AT CARSO, John T. Jones Charged With Looting the Mint. OF THE THEFT. EXTENT Bullion to Over Accused of Taking the Value of $75,000. OTHER ARRESTS TO FOLLOW. One Man Has Turned State’s Evi- dence and Revealed the Names of Those Implicated. CARSON, NEv., April13.—United States Marshal Humphreys walked into Bryson’s saloon this afternoon and arrested John T. Jones on the charge of taking $77,000 from the United States mint. Jones went at once to his attorneys, and began to hunt bondsmen. Within an hour, H. M. Yering- ton, ex-Governor Colcord, John Rosser and Leslie Bell appeared before Commi sioner Edwards, of the United States Dis- trict Court, and gave bailin the sum of $235,000. The complaint upon which the warrant was issued was sworn to by N. R. Harris before United States Commissioner T. J. Edwards, >s that on the 21st day nd at divers times between y of Febr 1890, and the John T. Jones refiner of the the 18th d 11th day of February, 1 took from the melter an United States mint at Carson City per- n the matter of gold and sonal proper er hars gold and silver metals, in granulated form, to the value of $77,000, | which said personal property belonged to, the Upited States, and was under the care’ and eontrol of the melter and refiner of the mint. This property was feloniously carried away with the intent to defraud the United States Government. There was a stormy scene in tbe Com- missioner’s office when the bond was signed. H. M. Yerington, the wealthiest of the bondsmen, refused point blank to sign if he was to be held for more than the individual amount of $10,000. He also de- clined to sign for a liability extending be- vond a specified time. The bond was al- tered several times to suit him and when finally 1 confined the liabilities to the amount of §10,600 each for Yerington and Colcord and $5000 each for Rosser and Bell. Much comment was caused by the amount of the bond being less than the amount Jones is charged with baving taken.” The Appeal of this morning pub- lished a caustic article, taking the United States District Attorney to task for allow- ing Heney, the San Francisco suspect, to slip away. Itisnow claimed that Heney attempted to leave for Canada, but, finding himself shadowed all the way to Butte returned to San Franc and hired W. Foote to defend him. William ‘Woodburn of this city is also retained. It is current here that the money of the parties implicated is behind Heney, but others hold that his hiring a lawyer is but a blind to cover up the fact that he has turned State’s evidence and given the authorities the inside of the whole busi- ness. He was a per diem man who is sup- posed to have discovered the operations of thering and was accordingly counted in. His bullion, amounting to $22,000, was traced to Reno. There is great excitement here to-night, and the names of others to be arrested on Monday are on everybody's tongue. Within the past forty-eight hours several parties who have been reticent have given important testimony to the officials. Jones has many friends in this city, who express the belief that he will clear him- self. He meets the charge with good nerve and is about the street smiling and talking with his friends as usual. The preliminary examination is set for Thu day at 10:30 o’clock before Judge Haw Jones was assistant melter and refiner under Zabriskie during the Republican administration and under Hirsch and Har- ris during the present administration, until suspended a few days ago. DENIED BY FOOTE. He Claims He Has Not Been Retained as One of Heney’'s Counsel. OAKLAND, Cavn., April 13.—W. W. Foote was seen at the Athenian Club this evening. “I have had rfo communication whatever with Heney,” he said. “I have not been retained in the case. Some friends of his here came to me and asked me if I would defend him in case he was indicted. T re- plied that I would if the compensation was sufficient. It seems strange to me that such word could come from Carson City when Heney is, to my certain knowledge, not there.” Mr. Foote seemed surprised when told that his prospective client had returned to Carson after discovering that he was shad- owed by detectives. —_— LOS ANGELES HESTA RACES Four Good Events Mark the Opening Day of the Meeting. Blizzard’s Victory Over Whitestone a Crushing Blow to the Talent. LOS ANGELES, Car., April 13.—The fiesta race-meeting opened at Agricultural Park to-day under the most favorable aus- pices. The track was moderately fast and the racing was very satisfactory. The first day’s programme included four events, two of which were won by favorites, one by a second choice and one by a rank out-sider. ‘While the defeat of Whitestone by the despised Blizzard in the Newton handicap was a crushing blow to the talent, it only served to make betting livelier in the next race, as the shortend- ers were encouraged by the fall of the favorites, and the knowing ones were anxious to recoup their losses. First race, five furlongs, three-year-olds, Morven won, Talbot Clifton second, Pat Murphy, third. Time, 1:023. Second race, Los Angeles’ futurity, two- year-olds, half a mile, Rummel won, Lor- ena second, Linda Vista filly third. Time, Third race, Newton handicap, purse $1000, one mile, Blizzard won, Whitestone second, Candid third. Time, 1:4134. Fourth race, six and a half furlongs, three-year-olds and over, Comm'ission won, Bernardo second, Hymn third. Time, 1:221£. ON THE TENNESSEE TRACKS. Vespers Wins the Thora Stakes for Two- Year-0ld Fillies. NASHVILLE, Texs., April 13.—The principal event of the racing at Cumber- land Park to-day was the Thora stakes for two-year-old fillies. The unbeaten Jilsey was the favorite, but she did not evidently like the heavy going. Vespers, a 5 to 1 shot, won quite easily from Amanda, who was four lengths in front of the favorite. Three favorites won, the other races going to horses at short odds. Six furlongs, Buck Massie won, Linda second, One Dime third. Time, 1:19%4. Five and a half furlongs, Domingo won, Pelleas second, Toano third. Time,1:103{. Thora stakes for two-year-old fillies, $1500, four furlongs, Vespers won, Amanda second, Merry Thought third. Time, :5134. One mile, imp. Wolsey won, Bill White second, Adah L third. Time, 1:50. Four furlongs, Bon Soir won, Landseer second, Harry Jones third. Time, 1:54. MEMPHIS, Texx.. April 13.—Handspun won the Tennessee stakes at Montgomery Park this afternoon, running the mile in 1:443{. The Kendall stable’s pair had the race well in hand from the start. Jane set a hot pace, closely followed by Urania, Handspun running last until the stretch, where she came out, winning with ease. The card was a good one, including a steeplechase over the short course, about two miles. Six favorites won. Five furlongs—George F. Smith won, Philomena second, Lord Henry third. Time, 1:023£. Four furlongs—Captive won, Fasig sec- ond, Sir Play third. Time, :503{. One mile, Tennessee stakes, $1000 added, for three-year-old fillies—Handspun won, Urania second, Jane third. Time, 1:4414.

Six furlongs—Boon won, Bedford second, High Test, third. . Time, 1: FOR THE TEN SSEE DERBY. Montgomery Park Is Not in a Satisfac- tory Condition. MFMPHIS, Texx., April 13.—Unless all signs fgil the Tennessee Derby of 1895 will be run on a dry track. In fact, the course at Montgomery Park is likely to be too dusty fer fast time. The Derby is the fea- ture of Monday’s card and the richest stake of the meeting. It will net the wiu- ner $3960. The probable starters with odds being laid to-night againgt them are as féllows: Gath 3 to 1, G. B. Morris 2 to1, Wells Street 3 to 1, Fandango 4 to 1, Prince 10 to 1, Jovial 8 to 1. While the field may not be regarded as high class, the race from every standpoint is an open one, which should make ita good betting event. For a Ten-Round Match. PENSACOLA, Fra., April 13.—Articles were signed and forfeits posted to-day for aten-round glove contest for points, to take place at the opera-house on next Wednes- day evening, between Professor Mike Carney, instructor of the Pensacola Ath- letic Club, and Dan Sullivan of Montreal, Canada. Won by McLeod. CINCINNATI, Omro, April 13.—In a catch-as-catch-can wrestling match, best two in three, at the People’s Theater to- night, between Charles Wittmer of Cin- cinnati and Duncan B. McLeod, the Scotch champion of San Francisco, McLeod won the first two bouts in 39 and 5 minutes re- spectively. Kid Hogan Puts Up. CINCINNATI, Osmro, April 13.—Kid Hogan has posted $50 with the sporting editor of the Enquirer in support of his challenge to fight at 130 pounds any man in the world for $500 a side.

Strikers and Militia Both Recelving Re-enforcements in Haste. CENTERVILLE, Towa, April 13.—The miners’ meeting to-day was well attended. The meeting was secret, and but little of the proceedings was given out. Tt was decided, however, to keep up the siege at the mines along the Milwaukee road which have also gone to work at less than the regular rates. The situation from the outside has a more serions aspect than heretofore, and there may be trouble when the men go to work Monday morning. ” The strikers who came to attend the meeting to-day are going back in squads and are being re-enforced, so there will be more present on Monday morning than at any time before. The military are still on duty and will probably be re-enforced by other companies t0-mOTTOW. L i New Freight Lake Boats. DETROIT, Mics., April 13.—A dispatch to the Free Press from Benton Harbor says: The Big Four Railroad has ar- ranged with the Lake Superior and Lake Michigan Transportation Company for a regular line of large freight boats between this port and Duluth, the service to begin May 1. This will make a new through line between the seaboard and the North- west. SR L Hall’s Cireus in a Collision. CHICAGO, IuL., April 13.—Hall's circus, en route from San Antonio, Tex., to Evans- ville, Wis., was somewhat battered up in a collision with a freight train, which oc- curred while the circus train was being switched in the yards. Mrs. Hall, wife of the proprietor, was seriously injured. SITA ROSKS OUEE Miss Donovan Returns to the Head of the List. CONTEST OF THE RIVALS. A New Candidate Who Takes | Fifth Place at the Start. FEATURES OF THE FESTIVAL. Committees Arranging Many At- tractions for the Amusement of the Guests. A ROSA, Car., April 13.—Yester- y Miss Belle Spottswood surprised Miss Donovan by passing her in the race for the throne of roses. This evening the friends of Miss Donovan rallied to her support and she forged ahead for a good lead. Many Rosa Valley can be seen. Other points of interest, including the Altrurian colony, the petritied forest, Mark West Springs, ‘White Sulphur Springs, orchards, hop fields and wineries, wiil be inspected. Nothing will be spared to make the visit of the excursionists a pleasant one. Mayor Woodward and “the committee of fifteen are working hard to make the reception all that can be desired, and the citizens are aiding them in every possible way. CARNIVAL AT HEALDSBURG. Arrangements Under Way for.a Floral Festival in That City. ~HEALDSBURG, Can, April 13.—The ladies of the several Protestant churches «of this city, at a mass-meeting held at the Christian church to-day, decided to give a floral festival in this city soon after the | Rose Carnival in Santa Rosa. The resi- dents of Northern Sonoma will assist. Excursion rates are to be secured, and a splendid floral show is promised. Thefete will continue three days. Rising Waters Destroy Bridges and Blockade Trafic. MIDDLETON, N. Y., April 13.—The water has heen steadily rising in the reached an unprecedented point. The On- | tario and Western officials fear that the bridge at Livingston Manor will go out to- | nignt. The long covered bridge used by | the public near the village is certain to go | if the freshet continues. Travel is block- | aded. KINGSTON, N. Y. April 13.—It has MISS BELLE SPOTTSWOOD, ONE O: A ) F THE LEADERS IN mfl SANTA ROSA CARNIVAL CONTEST. [From a photograph.] think the contest will narrow down be- tween these two beauties, but the friends of Miss Matthews seem determined to put her on the floral car that will carry the queen through the streets in the grand carnival parade; and there are others of the candidates who are likely to make as- tonishing gains when the contest nears its close. A new candidate was brought cut this evening in the person of Miss Jennie Mor- rison, daughter of Oscar Morrison. This young lady is one of the prettiestand most popular belles of the city. The contest to-night stands in the fol- lowing order: 1. Miss Donovan. 2. Miss Spottswood. 3. Miss Matthews. 4. Miss Bishop. 5. Miss Morrison. 6. Miss Rogers. A number of those near the bottom of the list have withdrawn. Red hot rivalry is expected after Monday, when the num- ber of votes will be announced from day to day. Some annoyance has been caused the management of the carnival by the pub- lished announcement that the carnival would begin on May 6. It will not com- mence until May 8, and will continue three days. The committee on programme and en- tertainment held another meeting this evening. Reports were received from the several sub-committees having special work in charge. The agreement securing the presence of the Roncovieri band was unanimously approved. It was the desire of the committee to have this performance iree, but it was evident to all that the at- tendance would then be too great for the capacity of the theater, so a scale of popu- lar prices for admission to all parts of the house will be adopted. Miss Elliott of the flower committee was present by request, and outlined the plan of the floral display. The flower show is to be held in Ridgeway Hall, buta proposis tion is under consideration to procure a large tent to be spread upon a convenient vacant lot, this to be additional to the dis- play in the hall. Mayor Woodward and Chairman Har- | din returned this evening from Healds- burg, where they had been in the interest of the carnival. They report that city ready to join forces with Santa Rosa. Healdsburg is the center of the prolific Russian River: Valley, where the soil is rich and sunshine perpetual. Nowhere has nature been more lavish in her favors than in this portion of Sonoma County. The people are enterprising, broad-minded and liberal, and will lend a helping hand in an enterprise intended to bring it to the front. The following are members of the com- mittee on entertainment and reception: Mrs. Dr. Finley, Mrs. Mayor Woodward, Mrs. A. D. Knick, Mrs. P. P. Rue, Mrs. A. C. McMeans, Miss Sallie Hall and Miss Emma Shea; Messrs. J. T. Campbell, Mark L. McDonald Jr., Dr. Porter, A. B, Lemmon, R. A. Thompson and E. D. Sweitzer. ' SANTA ROSA’S WELCOME. The Half-Million Club Excursionists to Be Elaborately Entertained. SANTA ROSA, Car., April 13.—Elab- orate arrangements are being made for the entertainment of the visitors who are ex- pected here April 27 and 28 on the Half- million Club excursien. The visitors will be met at the depot by citizens in car- riages, who will take them over Rincon Heights, where a magnificent view of Sanul rained steadily for the past twenty-four hours. All the streams are again rising very rapidly and more damage is feared. The Espous Creek, which did so much damage early in the week, is again flooding the adjacent lowlands, and residents are preparing to leave their homes. BURLINGTON, Iowa, April 13.—The worst gale known for years prevailed here to-day. The air was filled with clouds of sand and dust. Country districts report ymch damage to trees, fences and build- ings. BAD BLOOD 1S SPILLED, Men Fight to the Death in the Choctaw Na- tion. Federal Authorities Can Give No Relief and a Reign of Terror Exists. PARIS, Trx., April 13.—War has broken loose in the eastern part of the Choctaw Nation. Ever since the Jones-Locke feud of two years ago the deadliest enmity has prevailed between parties of different political beliefs. News travels slowly in that isolated sec- tion and it was only a couple of weeks ago that the full-blood Choctaws, who cannot speak English, learned of the troubles that existed between Governor Jones and Dick Locke. Last Monday Arnold Isliche was shot down by soms unknown party in his own yard. He had been an avowed friend of Governor Jones and was a man of influence in his community. His assassination aroused the whole community and the Cooper boys, who had always been warm friends of Locke, were suspected of the crime. Day before yesterday Solomon Lonaker, Simpson Lonaker and three other friends laid in wait two miles north of Eagleton, in the Choctaw nation, for the Coopers, who were planting a crop. As the Coopers came up the Lonakers opened fire from ambush with Winchesters. The fire was returned. There were five men in each party, and for three minutes a deadly fusillade prevailed. The results were not known until yester- day, when Governor Gardiner of the Choc- taw nation chanced to pass the place, and found Solomon Lonaker, Simpson Lona- ker, Carnelius Cooper and Tom Forbes dead in the road, within a few feet of each other, with their Winchesters in their hands. J Near his dead brother lay William Cooper, shot in a dozen places, but still alive and conscious. He gave Governor Gardiner a detailed statement of the whole affair. His statement cannot be had now, but enough is known to show that the Lonakers were instigated to do the bloody work by the use of money given by politi- e Gomp ular and theis e Coopers were ve: ar an friends trep furious ovr&ggg affair and :r: on the warpatk syearing vengeance against the Lonakers a1l their friends. Governor Gardiner was here te-day, and, while deploring ihe situation, was power- less to do unything. The Federal authori- ties eould give no relief, as all of the par- ties were Indian citizens and had violated no Federal law. HIGH LIVING AT NAPA, Governor Budd’s Pencil Drawn Through Bills for Luxuries. TERRAPIN AND OLD ALE. He Thinks They Are Not a Re- quisite to Good Official Management. PHYSICIANS ARE INDIGNANT. } streams in Sullivan County, and it has now, Their Wrath Poured Forth Upon the Executive and the Board of Examiners. NAPA, Car., April 13,—Telephones and terrapin, Southern clams and Eastern oys- ters, pineapples from the tropics and oranges from Riverside, Napa wine with a Bgrdeaux stamp, sherry from nowhere, shrimps, ale and alcohol—this is the list through which Governor Budd has drawn his blue pencil, after due deliberation with other members of the State Board of Ex- aminers. In a learned opinion the suave and astute Atterney-General Fitzgerald urges the chief executive on. The edict bas gone forth and the majesty of the law must be upheld. It was bad enough to lose the telephones, and now hearken to the wail that follows that mem- ory of dear days agone—terrapin and champagne days—no more to return. Can a man in the employ of the State be ex- pected to train for high official flights on the plain diet of a laborer? The Governor says yes, and his Attor- ney-General concurs. The Secretary of State quotes authorities to show that State officials have lived, labored and died without ever knowing the taste of terrapin or champagne, or ever having seen a telephone. But all this is not satisfactory, and the epicures who pre- side over the big institutions of the State are very mad. Ominous mutterings of the approaching storm have been in the air for some time, and a cloudburst was looked for here to- day when the trustees of the insane asy- lum met to argue the point with Governor Budd and his Attorney-General. His Ex- cellency, however, did not put in an ap- pearance, and Fitzgerald was likewise absent, thus leaving the representation of the State to Lew Brown and Secretary George Pratt, The routine business of the board was quickly transacted. It con- sisted in re-electing the old staff of physi- cians, as follows: Dr. A. M. Gardner, superintendent and resident physician; Dr. L. F. Dozier, first assistant; Dr. G. R. Bowles, second assistant; Dr. Dresback Smith, third assistant. ‘With one exception the choice was un- animous. When nominations for first assistant were declared in order Trustee A. J. Hull arose and placed in nomination Dr. Crowder of Santa Rosa. Trustee R. P. Landin nominated Dr. Dozier for re-elec- tion, and upon balloting the latter re- ceived the vote of all the members of the board, with the exception of Hull, who stood firmly by his friend from Santa Rosa. Trustee Howe then introduced a resolu- tion reducing the salary of the second assistant physician from $2500 per annum to $2000. Hull opposed the resolution on the ground that the second assistant per- formed the same duties as those assigned to other members of the staff. In his opinion they should all fare alike. Howe argued for his resolution. Inithe saw conformity to the policy of the present administration—retrenchment. It wasnot wise, he saiq, to place the members of the staff upon a financial equality. Hull finally offered an amendment to the Howe resolution fixing salariesat the old figures— $2500 per annum for the first and second assistants and $1800 per annum for the third, Hull then announced the presence of Brown and Pratt from the State Board of Examiners, and regretted the absence of Governor Budd and Attorney-General Fitzgerald, who had promised to come up and argue on telephones and terrapin. He (Hull) desired a private conference with the examiners present. Continuing he said: “I do not know the powers granted to the State Board of Examiners, but some- body is wrong. They have refused to pass certain items in our bills since January, varying from §160 down to $25. Recently two barrels of ale were cut from a bill—a mere matter of $30. This ale was ordered by the doctor for patients, and was abso- lutely necessary. Nota drop of it went to nourish the physicians. “We are personally liable under the law for the payment of luxuries cut out on the bills. I will not stana any such nonsense, and furthermore, I will not have my char- acter besmirched by Governor Budd or any one else.”’ Secretary of State Brown arose to reply. “We have made no distinction,” he be- gan, “and no one, asfar as I am aware, has cast reflections upon any member of this board. Our policy is one of retrenchment. We are in office to prevent the unnecessary expenditure of State funds, and we pro- pose to do our duty. In institutions of this kind a line must be drawn between necessitiesand luxuries. Much money has been wasted.”” Then Mr. Brown went on to explain why the telephones had been cut off, and how the superintendent of a certain State insti- tution had been given to paying §3 for a pair of ducks, two or three timesa week for his private table, all on the State, of course. Dr. Gardner rose to reply. He said that luxuries were necessary for some of the pa- tients, and that he could not consistently put the same fare before visitors as that served to his wards. ““We have visitors here,”” continued Dr. Gardner, *‘from all parts of the world, who carry away impressions. They must be entertained. Many things rejected on our bills are allowed at San ;Quentin, Agnews and Stockton, and still in the face of this fact our expense per capita is 39 cents, while in other places it is 72 cents. We consume less liquor here than in the other institutions, and the so-called luxuries cost only 1234 cents per head for the twenty-four patients requiring extra fare. If the State will not allow the expense of proper food for my guests then the money must come out of my own pocket.” Mr. Brown said that the discussion might as well be postponed, as he was not Pure Blood and Alfle Mason The case related here is by no means a rare or unusual ome for | Hood’s Sarsaparilla to cure. Thou- sands of children have suffered from foul humors in the blood, and many | who have been blind from this cause, have been restored to perfect health and sight” by this great medicine. Such evidence as this must convince anyoné that Hood’s Sarsaparilla is the great blood purifier. It cures scrofula, salt themm and every other form of blood disease. Is the He Was Completely Blind Owing to Humor and Sores on His Face and Eyes Hospital Treatment Failed—But Hood’s Sarsaparilla Made a Perfect Cure. « Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 21, 1894, «C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: “Dear Sirs: I'am thankful for the good Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done our boy. At the age of two years he caught a severe cold and it settled in his eyes and his face became covered with scabs, which the doctor said was An Attack of Eczema. We tried different physiciansin Jersey City and New York City, but he got little relief. I finally took him to a hospital and his face was termed the worst case the surgeons had ever treated. He was under their care for six months and the eczema on his face was better, but it had become worse in his eyes, and He Was Now Blind and could notsee his hand before him. Every attention had to be given him as he could do nothing for himself. I had read and heard much about Hood’s Sarsaparilla and made up my mind to try it in his case. After tak- ing the first two bottles we could see a change in his eyes, the ulcers which caused the blindness being less viru- lent. I was advised to take him to a hospital, but I said I would continue with Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and thanks be to it, he soon regained his sight ax‘d is now, at six years of age, a Fat, Strong and Healthy lad. TIhope every mother will take my advice, which is to use Hood's Sarsaparilla for every form of sick- ness. It will save lots of money, trouble and worry. I speak from ex- perience and I assure you Ishall never cease praising Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” Mgs. A. W. Masox, 150 Phillips St. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Only True Blood Purifie WINE IN LITIGATION. Suit Broughtto Foreclose a Mortgage on a Vast Quantity of the Beverage. NAPA, Car., April 13.—Suit was begun in the Superior Court here to-day by C. Carpy against Dowdell & Son of St. Helena on certain wine which Dowdell & Son had, it is alleged, contracted to sell to the Cali- fornia Wine Association, but which they sold a few days ago to Mr. Chevalier of San Francisco. Carpy alleges that the wine association guaranteed the accounts of Dowdell & Son for grapes and has his obligation against the wine in question, and that it is con- tracted to be sold to said association. Itis asserted on the other hand by Dowdell & Son that the wine association has not kept good faith with them and therefore the alleged contract is void. ‘W. A. Mackinder was appointed keeper of the property in question, with bond fixed at §15,000. To Build a Boulevard. NAPA, Car., April 13.—Within the past few days a movement has been set on foot to lay out and build a fine boulevard north from this city to Yountville, a distance of nine miles, and it will probably be ex- tended through the whole length of the valley —some thirty miles. Property- owners along the proposed route have nearly all expressed a willingness to give the necessary land, and one of the stipula- tions will be that no railroad shall ever be allowed to run along the boulevard. Much interest is being taken in the project, and it will probably be carried out. Found Guilty of Assault, NAPA, Cavn., April 13.—The trial of John Vaughn on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon was completed to-day, and the jury found a verdict of guilty as charged. About two weeks ago Vaughn attacked Charles Kech with a butcher-knife, and stabbed him repeatedly. Sentence will be pronounced by Judge Ham on Monday next. SHES NO LDIGER A IS, Nellie Bly the Wife of a Banker and Multi-Mil- lionaire. Riches Fall to the Lot of the Girl Who Performed Great Jour- nalistic Feats. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 13.—The Morning Advertiser says: Nellie Bly, who is one of the best-known newspaper women in the country, is no longer Miss Elizabeth Cochran. She is now Mrs. Rob- ert Seaman. Her husband is one of the directors of the Merchants’ Exchange Na- tional Bank and a multi-millionaire. He is nearly 70 years &f age. In businessand financial circles he is quite as well known as his wife is to the devotees of the Sunday newspapers. The reports of their marriage which came from Chicago were quite correct. It occurred April 5 at the rectory of the Church of the Epiphany on Ashland ave- nue of that city. The Rev. T. H. Morrison performed the ceremony. The contracting parties had met at a dinner in the Audi- torium Hotel two weeks before and con- ceived an instant attachment. Mrs. Seaman was interviewed last night by a reporter and said: ‘I cannotdeny the rumor. I was married to Mr. Seaman in Chicago. He left the following day for New York. Owing to my business affairs and his we both desired to keep it a secret for a time. It is his idea as soon as ar- rangements are completed to make a for- mal announcement of the wedding. Sick- ness in my own family also cansed us to delay its publication.” Miss Cochran edited her first newspaper work on the Pittsburg Dispatch, which was when she was 15 years old. She has been engaged in similar work in New York authorized to give instructions without the Governor's consent. In his opinion, how- ever, the list of expensive luxuries should be cut down for this month. 80 the Governor will come up to Napa soon. for eight years, and has become famous for the sensational character of contributions to newspaper literature. One of her first ex- ploits was to feign insanity and get her- self incarcerated in the Blackwell Island Asylum for the purpose of describing her for the foreclosure of a mortgage of $27,000 | experiences, Her trip around the world in seventy-two days in 1890 gave her con- siderable notoriety: Lo ORGANIZED BY SOVEREIGN. The Leader of the Knights of Labor Doing Active Work. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aprit 13.—J. R. Sov- ereign, general master workman of the Knights of Labor, visited Pittsburg to-day and organized District Assembly No. 113, to take the place of District Assembly No. 3, which seceded from the old order. He saysthe disaffected assemblies can now rally around the new body, and that D.A.3isdead so far as the Knights of Labor is concerned. He says there never was a time when workmen were so anxious to be organized. He says he has organized a large number | of districts in Kansas, Nebraska, Texas | and on the Pacific Slope. He goes from here to Massachusetts to continue the same work. e e Convention of Shoemakers. BOSTON, Mass., April 13.—The conven= tion of shoeworkers which has been in ses- sion here since Wednesday last engagea in the formation of a new national organiza- tion to take the place of former bodies, ended to-night. John Tobin, Rochester, N. Y., was made president. Deputy Or- ganizer Elliott of Butte, Mont., of the A. R. U., addressed the convention to- night, asking the support of the union in the Debs case.
