SLOW AND DIFFICULT WORK. The Third Gun WIIl Be Placed on the High Lime Point Bluff. The labor of lifting sixty tons of metal forty feet long and about nine feet in diameter at the base from the sea level up to the crown of the hill above oid Fort Point has been going on for two weeks. It is the first of the new 12-inch rifles that are to be mounted on the new defenses | of this por enough to s 320,000 pounds of steel, and consequently this great mass must be dr. foot by foot on well-oiled ways | ments, entertainments and matches under | his care. ¥ The principal object of the swimming | annex will be to bring to the front what- ever aquatic talent the club possesses, and to help train the racers for interclub and outside amateur matches. It will also fos- ter the polo enthusiasm which seizes a hold of the swimmers at frequent in- tervals, and will endeavor to organize such a polo team as will warrant the acceptance of any challenge from the Fast which may come. A challenge came from a New York team about a year ago, but the club had no team which would justify it in accepting. But when the challenge comes again, should it do so, the swimming annex will take it uY at once. Thenew organization, aswith al the sub-organizations of the Olympic Club, has one of the directors of the parent insti- tution for its patron. Dr. E. N. Short will stand sponsor for the swimming annex in the board, and he says he intends to do { what he can to make it a permanent and } important feature. | HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDINGS. }Thfl Santa Cruz Doctor Seeks This Means of Release. | Attorney James A.

Arson In the Second Degree—He is Rec- ommended to the Mercy of the Court. ron | rove a Manila ¥ | sheaw, | ter, makes s ““We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of arson in the second degree, and recom- mend him to the mercy of the court.” That was the verdict in the case of the people against W. Wilkins de Winton for arson in Judge Wallace's court yesterday morning. The had been on trial | since Monday m 7 The charge wi n to the jury at noon on Friday. 3 o’clock the jury re- turned for the purpose of questioning Fire Marshal Towe as to his testimony. The jury remained out until 11 o’clock yester- day, when Judge Wallace sent to call them in, intending to discharge them. Word was sent back that they wanted five min- utes more for deliberation, and before that time elapsed they returned to the court- room. As they took their places in the box the wife of the accused eagerly scanned their faces, and finding there no gleam of hope passed across the courtroom to De Win- | ton’s side. As the verdict was announced | his head sank upon her shoulder and she put her arms about him. It was she who as strong; she was the comforter, and ¢ | whatever tears were dropping down’ deep n her heart there were none in her eyes. The story of the fire has been told in the CavrL during the progrees of the trial. It was on October 14, 1894, at De Winton’s hot 1141 Dolores street. Careful pre- on had been made for it. Oil-soaked | paper and kindling wood had been strewn about the house and on a shelf under the main floor, and a hole cut over the largest ile. The'fire was discovered by a neigh- | bor named Haire, upon whom the defense | sought to cast the onus of the crime. The building and furniture was insured | for $1000, of which $2500 was on the furni- ture, most of which had been removed be- fore the fire. Attorney Reddy, for the defense, moved for an arrest of judgment. An appeal will be taken atonce on the ground that the indictment was wholly defective and stated no crime known in the California law. If there isno stay of proceedings sen- tence will be passed next Friday, The { penalty isfirom one to ten years in the penitentiary. A SWIMMING ANNEX. Latest Sub-Organization Formed for Members of the Olympic Club. The The latest thing in the way of an annex to the Olympic Club is a swimming asso- ciation, which is rapidly drawing those fond of amphibious sports within its limits, The idea was started some time ago, but has found permanent organization only within the last few days. For officers the new annex has George 8. McComb, president; Fred Pariser, secre- tary, and George 8. McComb, W. Taylor and C. B. King to form the executive com- mittee. McComb is already an assistant leader in the tank, and has, therefore, in his dual capacity as leader and president The | around the sharp turns in the road on the | on a charge of practicing medicine without | was formed were to encourage and a a license, the CALL at that time giving a | full history of the case. Kanzler was fin- ally tried and convicted, but on motion of his attorney an arrest of judgment was obtained until the Superior Court of Santa ruz could pass upon the case. The lower court denied the writ of habeas corpus, which has resulted in the proceedings above referred to. Kanzler seeks freedom on the ground | that he did not put “M.D.,” after ' his | name, and the court will to-morrow set a day to hear the arguments in the case. MATE TILTON WS MO, | Return of the Erstwhile Fi- | ance of Pretty Miss Holbrook. The Sydney’s First Officer Will Not Talk of His Eastern Wife. C. 0. Tilton, first mate cf the steamer City of S8ydney, and the ex-fiance of pretty Miss Holbrook, a niece of C. B. Holbrook, secretary of the Society for the Preventicn | of Cruelty to Animals, returned on the | Sydney from Panama yesterday. Tilton | has been passing as a single man since he entered the employ of the Mail Company, and is said to have on more than one occa- sion asked to be presented to young { women_to relieve the monotony of single | bliss. He proposed to Miss Holbrook after monopolizing her attention for a consider- able time and was accepted. All the time | he had a wife and child in Boston, who had been neglected and deserted by him. Tilton's suit progressed very favorably and all was smooth sailing until shortly before the sailor went to sea on the last | trip of the Sydney. The young lady’s | uncle was not altogether satisfied as to the character of his niece’s betrothed and he { went to work quietly making inquiries. | He learned of Tilton’s marital experience in the East and confronted the fellow with | proofs of his duplicity. Tilton, it is said went down to the Mail dock in a_rage an | said that some one had been lying about | his affairs. General surprise wasexpressed | at his utterances, for it was commonly | known on the dock that he was a married man. Tilton set up as a defense that he had been divorced, and it was not until after the departure of the Sydney that the story found 1ts way into the newspapers. As soon as the steamer docked yesterday | afternoon, the mate was questioned re- garding the accusation against him, but he declined to be interviewed on the subject. “They took advantage of me as soon as my back was turned,” said he, “but I am not going to do anything of the kind. I have nothing to say about the matter.” “Do you wish to deny the story?” was asked. 2 “No, I don’t wish to say anything. I will make my answer at the proper time. If you wani to know anything more, see my lawyer, J. Samuel, on Sansome street.” i‘he mate said, in response to a question, that he had communicated with his attor- ney since he left 8an Francisco. e ———— Heavy Damages Asked. Three suits were filed yesterday against the Sutter-street Railway Company and the Na- tional Brewing Company for damages aggrega- ting $52,500. They all grow out of & collision | of & car with & brewer's wagon at Gough street and Pacific avenue on April 20, 1893." George F. and Liilie E. Smith ask for $25,000 for in- uries to the latter, Ruth Harrison asks for 25,000 for the death of John B. Harrison, and Joseph N. Harrison, as administrator of the estate of John B. Harrison, asks for $2500 for doctor's fees, medicine, nursing and burial ex- penses of the latter. | ————— Chh‘cle F¥ree Masons, An ambiguous complaint was filed in the Su- perior Court yesterday, the names of plaintiff and defendant being the same. The suit is entitled California Free Masons Society, or the Gee Kung Tong Society, against Ghu Kung Tong, or California Free Masons Society, or Ghu Kung Tong Society. The suit is one for the possession of property on Spofford alley, .woutg of Washington street, which the Ghu Kung Tong alleges the other Ghu Kung Tong is wrong(ufly holding. ——— NotmING spurious is found in the Almighty of the annex, all arrangements for tourna | Dollar (Cigar). the production and manufacture of articles for home consumption and to consider and recommend such measures as may seem wise and expedient for that purpose. | “There are many among our extensive membership,” reads the communication, | “who feel that 1n the granting of franchise: | and in the purchase of material and sup- lies for the city consideration should first | be paid to the interests of the local manu- | facturers, mechanics and workmen.” This matter will come up before the meeting of the Board of Supervisors on Monday and as the members are anxious to work in harmony with the association for the advancement of the industrial in- terests of the city it is probably that a | joint meeting of " a committee and the directors of the organization in question will be arranged at an early date. The Manufacturers’ Association has made great headway since its organization a few weeks ago and every effort is being put forth to advance the industrial in- terests of San Francisco. It is un- derstood that there is an ordin- ance covering this question, making it in- cumbent upon the Board of Supervisors to :ase local rather than outside products or municipal use. DIED FROM VIOLENCE. Dr. Barrett Finds That Pastor Torres of Sacramento Had His Skull Fractured. The body of Pastor Torres of Sacramento was disinterred yesterday afterncon by Dr. J. 8. Barrett. It was then developed | dying from natural causes, had had his skull fractured. Torres had a_quarrel with three men in Sacramento a few weeks ago. He was vio- lently thrown to the ground during the row and later died. His assailants were arrested on a charge of murder. It was claimed that he had received blows on the abdomen that caused his death. Local physicians exam- ined him. They made a post-mortem ex- amination of his stomach and decided that death resulted from the peculiar physical condition of the deceased, and the body was brought to this city and buried in the 0dd Fellows’ Cemetery. The widow of the déad man was not sat- isfied with statement of the Sacramento doctors. At her request Frank Ryan, City Attorney of that city, engaged Dr. Barrett to disinter the body nns make a thorough autopsy. This was done and a serious fracture of the skull discovered. ;lfh\s places Torres’ assailant in a bad posi- ion.

VETERAN Captain Henry S. Healey, clerk to the Chi of Police and Board of Police Commissioner was born in the county of Beauharnais, Qu bec, Canada, on December 18, 1835. He serv: through the Civil War in the Ninth Indiana Infantry. From October, 1863, till May, 1865, he was superintendent of the depot commis= sary at Chattanooga, Tenn., and from the lat= ter date till May, 1807, he was in the quarter- master’s department at Atlanta, Ga. He came to this city to the same department in 1872, and remained till 1876. He was ap- pointed to the police force on May, 22, 1878. in March, 1879, he was engaged with Captain Lees in investigating the Tibbey ' frauds in connection with the opening of Montgomery avenue and the widening of Dupont street. He was assigned to duty in the District Attor~ ney’s office in December, 1879, and he re- mained till December 31, 1887, when he was made a sergeant and assigned to duty in the Chief’s office. He was appointed to his pres= ent position on July 9, 1894, vice Hall, dis= missed. He hasthe rank and pay of a captain. 10 EXPORT IN' BOTTLES, A Trade Which Local Brandy Men Are Anxious to | Secure. The Bond Laws Serlously Interfere and They Want to Amend Them. The winemen of this city are agitated over the new law which is intended for the regulation of spirits in bond. The wine- dealers, or at lest those of them who deal the new law and are working for it in every way. : Enlisted in their cause are the whisky men from the whisky-distilling sections of the country and the whisky-dealers in all the large cities. To such an extent has this outside interest been shown it is probable that the law originally framed to be presented as exclusively a measure re- lating to brandy and the distilled prodv of fruit will be extended to exclude whiskey and the distilled products of grain, Briefly summarized, the new law, if | passed, will allow the bottling of spirits in { bond and their shipment out of the | country without the payment of the in- | ternal revenue tax. This, however, is a | more important item than it at first seems, fory so it is claimed by the brandy dealers, this item has been the reason why France and Svain control the brandy trade of South America instead of this country. Under the present internal revenue laws spirits in bond may be shipped out of the country without payment of tax, and thousands of gallons are thus sent away every year; but the trade in South America and some other countries is pe- culiar. | It demands a small Fnckags, much smaller than any shipped in bond from this country, for the freighting in the | mountainous, and perhaps for that reason brandy-drinking, regions of the southern | continent is done mostly upon the back of ! mules. This, of course, makes it impera- | tive that whatever is bought for shipment must be bought in small packages. Hearing that such a movement was on foot among the brandy men of this State, | the whisky-dealers from all over the Union | have been actively communicating with local brandy merchants and with the Viti- | cultural Commission, in order to have the whisky and grain spirit trade included in the terms of the law. The two trades are almost identical, and it is probable that the whisky men will be given a place on the law, and that their support to the measure will therefore be assured. As it is, however, the energies of the local brandy men have beén directed entirely in the direction of their own in- terests, but they say if the whisky men want to come in they have no objection. The trades are practically the same, and support from any legitimate direction will be welcome. NOT ABOARD. GERTIE Arrival of the Steamer Australia From Honolulu With a Large Number of Passengers. The steamer Australia arrived here from Honolulu yesterday morning, bringing a large number of passengers and a good- sized cargo of general merchandise. Mrs. Walter Lambert (nee Gertie Mahan- ney) was also expected on the Australia, but she did not come. It was said that she liked the climate and people of Ha- waii so well that she woul(? probably re- main in Honolulu. Among the passengers was Mrs, Beards- lee, wife of the admiral of the flagship Philadelphia. From her coming it is sup- sed that the Philadelphia would soon eave for San Francisco and her piace be taken by some other vessel.

He Thinks That It Is His Duty, as an Officer of the Club, to Speak. Rev. Dr. Brown’s attack on Professor George D. Herron has called forth the fol- lowing response from the Rev. F. Flawith, | secretary of the Congregational Monday Club: To the Editor of the Call—DEAR SIR: Thestate- ments and undelivered speech which the Rev. C. 0. Brown, D.D., has thought fit to publish in Thursday’s issue of the CALL may well deserve silent treatment, if it were not that thereis a strong and unfair reflection on the honor of the Rev. Dr. McClean and Professor G. D. Her- ron, as well as the Congregational Monday Club. 1t is not a pleasant thing for me to write these lines with reference to one whom I have held in esteem and have every reason to believe is my friend. ut friendship and kindness one to another are qualities which we owe each other in life | and to withhold them is (to use one of Dr. Brown’s words) “Robber; i While Idesire to remain a friend of Dr. Brown | I remember also what I owe Dr. McClean and Professor Herron as a brother man. 1t is only necessary to give a fair and general | study oi Professor Herron’s writings to at once | see that there is much unfairness attached to that kind of criticism which extricates a few special sentences from their connections Dr. Brown has claimed that skeptics and in- fidels should study the Bible and the sayings of Jesus Christ with a fairness which they in turn expect him to display when he deals with the sayings of a brother minister. The publication of the undelivered speech cannot explain away what occurred Monday last. His statement of the case is unfair. Mr. Brown seems to shield himself behind the fact that the Bay Association last August did not at that time see fit to invite Professor Herron. But the Monday Cluy is one thing and_the afore-namea association is another. We claim to be ruled by our own laws and votes. Again the doctor mentioned the iact that some person incidentally remarked at a former | meeting of the club, “Let us hear him (Profes- | sor Herron), then discuss him.” But instead of adheriug to any such suggestion Mr. Brown | took more time in tearing Professor Herron | limb from limb than has ever been allowed to any other member of the club tor any purpose. To give Dr. Brown what 1o one else has dared demand we held the longest session which the club has ever had. Mr. Brown must surely know that the Rey. Dr. McClean nor any other person “moved to shut him off” from his rightiul privilege Itisarule to be called upon o speak turns, but Dr. Brown rose to his feet w any regard to order or rule. Tt is & rule for each member to have but three | minutes to speak to the subject. Brother Brown | came without the invitation of the club to n our hout | read & previously prepared speech which, no | doubt, would have taken much longer than | fifteen minutes to delive; Instead of any one irying to “shut off”” Dr. Brown, he was evidently ready and willing to “shut ‘off” most all other mexibers of the club | by claiming more than his share of time and | creating a scene which will need much grace | to forget and forgive. | It is our rule not to whom we specially in address us; rather 1t isour unvarging rule to | give them ‘all the time of the club, and we Very rarely do more than ask but a few ques- tions at the close of the address. A y, at | least, we always treat our guests w net becoming gentlemen, so that Dr. Brown has no law nor precedent to justify him in his | present claims and conduct. He said it would be “unfair to confine the | debate to the single text of what Dr. Herron | said in his single addr 4 | “Debate” is not the word for it. We on such occasions respectfully listen to our speaker without interrupting him by such remarks as, “That is not true,” and after the speaker has finished we simply do as I have stated above, | and offer our thanks for his services—a thing | in this case Which we were not permitied 10_do. We certainly did_not invite Dr. Herron to account to us for all he has said and done in | the body. We surely do not claim Dr. C. 0. | Brown as our appointed David to throw the stone at one whom he supposes to be some- thing of a Goliath. It would take too much space to fully reply to all the unjust remarks which Mr. Brown hay 10 reasonable foundation for saving or beliey- ing that Professor Herron ever thought or said; but let one or two suffice as samples: Dr, Herron never said that “interest is robbery.” On the contrary, the subject of Mr. Brow attack admits that he is living on interest. As for the insluuation about money-making, Dr. Brown’s expenses are possibly not more | than half those of Mr. Herron's, and yet Mr. Brown’s income is known to be abmost as much | egain as that of hiskind and charitable-hearted | iriend. Professor Herron aims at making no | more than necessary expenses; he refuses op- portunities of making money ihat he may Do reer to be of greater service to his fellow-men, and these opportunities if offered to Dr. Brown would soon make him a richer man than he is to-da F ’s play, courtesy and liberty of conscience is what we would claim for Dr. Brown if he were treated in the same manner as he thinks | he has a right to ireat some who think differ- ently to himself. The club, by a vote of eighteen to six, aiter a | week’snotice that the vote would be taken, in- | vited Professor Herron, and now that he has | been kind enough to come, it is my duty as an officer and member of the club, as well as a brother man, to defend him in a way that 1 would thank any one to defend me if I were treated in a similar manner. Thanking you for the publication of this letter, I remain, tc., REV., F. FLAWITH, Secretary Congregational Monday Club. April 20, 1895 Philadelphia’s Old Hall, By the act of 1870, creating the Public Building Commission, the demolition of the annexes to Independence Hall at the | completion of the new city hall islaid | upon the commission. Opposition to this | Em of the duties of the commission has een growing up slowly for several years, and Senator Thomas has introduced a bill to relieve the commission of that final act. There are good reasons why this bill | should be passed, and of them may be | mentioned the fact that some of the an- | nexed structures are associated with the | early history of the Government and have cherished associations second only to those which cluster around the central building. The entire structure as it stands antedates the memory of any living person, and as a whole it represents the beginnings and the growth of the Government up to a com- paratively recent period. The publie, which might properly be consulted, knows Independence Hall as it stands and knows no other. That Fublic, if consulted, would | probably decide for the preservation of the continuous structure. ~The act of 1870 makes the removal of all but the central part compulsory, but no particular sanc- tity attaches to that legislative act. and its repeal may therefore be properly urged as a measure contributory to history.— Philadelphia North American. ————— Perhaps the largest camellia in exist- ence is at the Piluitz castle, near Dres- den, Germany.
