"THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL; SUNDAY, MAY 19, 1895. A WOMAN POISONED. Mrs. Jennie Matthews Given a Fatal Dose of Strych- nine. HER HUSBAND'S STATEMENT. The Secretary of Laurel Hill Cem-~ etery Accused of the Crime. The body of Mrs. Jennie Matthews, wife of a street-car conductor, living at 502 Broderick street, was taken to the Morgue this morning. In a dying statement made by her ata late bour last night she charged the sec- retary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery with poisoning her. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon she eomplained of being sick, so her husband, Edwin Matthews, says. She told him she had been induced by the secretary to take a pill. Dr. Griffiths of 1340 Hayes street was called and did what he could for her, but she died at 12:35 o’clock this morning. According to the statement made to her husband the secretary of the cemetery, Charles H. Crowell, had made improper propasals to the woman when she went to yisit the grave of her two children. She resisted and exhibited a revolver. He then gave her a pill. Her little five-year girl, who was with her at the time, corroborates the deaa mother's statement, saying that her mother at first refused to take the pill, but was prevailed upon to do so by Crowell’s argu- ment. The child says Crowell told Mrs. Matthews shewould be a fool if she did not take the pill. Dr. Griffiths says it was a clear case of strychnine poisoning, and that he searched the Matthews house and could find no other evidence of the drug. His reason for making the statement was to prevent any suspicion that the woman might have taken the poison with suicidal intent. The dead woman was 27 years of age. Theé police were made acquainted with Mrs, Matthews’ dying statement, and will arrest Crowell to-day. The husband of the dead woman called at the New City Hall at 2:30 o’clock this morning and had a consultation with Cap- tain Douglass. Matthews said that as nearly as he could learn Superintendent Crowell gave his wife a pill and took one himself. He did not know what had become of Crowell and at a late hour this morning it was not known what had become of Crowell. GAGGED AND ROBBED HIM. J. S. Mclntosh the Vic- tim of Several Foot- pads. While Engaging Him In Conversa- tion Confederates Come In and Seize Him. 'J. 8. McIntosh, keeper of a saloon at Me- Allister and Leavenworth streets, was making ready to close his doors at 1:30 o'clock this morning, when two men en- tered, and after ordering drinks engaged McIntosh in-conversation. While they were talking three masked men entered and fell upon McIntosh. They threw the saloon-keeper on the floor and thrust a gag into his mouth. He struggled desperately, but was soon obliged to succumb to the combined strength of his assailants. The robbers dragged McIntosh into an inner room anda tied him to a chair. About this time a neighbor, one of Me- Intosh’s friends, entered, and the thieves who had taken $70, all there was in the drawer, ran out of the saloon toward Turk street. The man chased them for several blocks, but they evaded him and escaped. He re- turned to the saloon, and after releasing McIntosh went to the police station and described the two robbers who were not masked. I MGRATH DROWNED. The Well-Known Middle- Weight Goes Down at the CIliff House. He Was Fishing From a Small Boat and Was Caught by the Undertow. The well-known middle-weight trainer, ~Timothy McGrath, was drowned off the CIliff yesterday afternoon, while out fishing in a small boat. His body was drawn beneath the surface by the undertow. McGrath had been training Joe King at the beach for the middle-weight fight with Henry Peppers which is to occur at the Colma- Athletic Club, in San Mateo, on Friday, the 24th inst. He had been very successful training, haying put in a winning condition a num- ber of victors in as many months, among them being Young Miichell, Charley Turner, Denny Kelleher, Johnny Van " Heest, Kid George Lavigne, the “mysterious’” Billy Smith of Boston, “Spider” Jimmy Kelly and Jim Barron, the Australian. He had one fight to a finish. himself, which was a little over two months ago, with Mark Cohen, the barber, in Hegerty’s barn. % He was a native of Jreland, born in 1872, and had been for some time on this coast. He lived recently at 203 Powell street. ;i'he sporting fraternity held him in high avor. FOR THE ALASKA MINES. Six: Californians Brave the Storms of the Pacific in a Small Steamer. * Bix Californians started yesterday after- nioon for Kodiak Island in a little cockle- -shiell of a steamer known as the Kodat. The party consists of Captain Oliver Smith of San Francisco, his nephews, F. L. Ely 2nd W. W. Ely of Modesto, Charles Green, Ju’lm Lundberg and Peter McGowan. . The Kodat is a steam schooner of twelve {ons burden. She is only about fifty feet long, but she is bnilt like a tug and is con- sidered quite safe. Her cargo consisted of dourteen tons of coal, which left only a few feet for the passengers, ‘and the crew con- ing of the captain, engineerand fireman. ‘The Kodat, it is expected, will be under 3 most of the time, even in fair Weather. As she can steam’ nine knots an hour without the sails, the trip is expected to consume about fifteen days. A Captain Smith has been engaged in salmon packing in Alaska for many §ears. As it costs about §5 50 a barrel to salt the salmon down, and the Alaska Commercial Com]iany is selling their stock of 50,000 barrels at $4 a barrel, he decided to work on avery promising placer mine which he discovered near Alitak last year. The party will be gone six orseven months. NOT YET QUALIFIED. Brigadier-General Warfield Still Con- sidering the Names of the Officers ‘Who Will Compose His Staff, Brigadier-General - Warfield, the new commander of the San Francisco brigade, expects to qualify next Monday. Hiscom- mission has arrived. Friday the newly made general was at Healdsburg awarding fiesta prizes and yesterday General Dimond was out of town. “I have not yet decided upon the personnel of my staff,”’ said General War- field yesterday. It is a matter requiring much thought. They form, as it were, 8 part of the general’s family and must be chosen with care. Besides, the wishes of those higher in authority should be con- sidered. “As vet no changes in the formation of the brigade have been decided upon. All present orders will stand_till after the in- spection and. muster. On the results of tais will depend the fates of some of the companies. *‘Nine companies will have to be mus- tered out in consequence of the new military law. The companies to suffer will be those whose FPrcemage of attend- ance and skill in drilling is the least.”” MADE THE D0G HOWL, ACanineinaSausalito Church Laments for His An- cestors. The Rector, the Reverend Peter Miel, Was Reading of Wicked Jezebel. A circumstance which has been the sub- ject of much discussion 1n church circles in Sausalito, and created an uneasy feeling among the superstitious, is the conduct of an old dog which once belonged to Rev. Mr. Reed, formerly rector of the Episcopal church. When Mr. Reed died, and was succeeded by Mr. Miel, the dog continued to go to the church every Sabbath, as had been his wont during Mr. Reed’s incum- bency, and lie in the vestry. 000 FELLOWS ADJOURN, The Grand Lodgeand Rebekah Assembly Installed Their Officers. LAST DAY OF THE SESSION. Ladles Granted a Rehearing and Then Instituted as Full- Fledged Members. The Grand Ledge of Odd Fellows and the Rebekah convention and assembly in- stalled their officers yesterday and ad- journed. In the morning the ladies assembled in | their hall with the intention of appealing to the Grand Lodge from the action taken on Friday, whereby a charter was granted and proclaimed for a Rebekah assembly by Grand Master Simpson. Before the ladies discussed the subject the grand master was announced. He stated that inasmuch as there had been a misunderstanding regard- ing the matter the day before, the subject could be reconsidered. This was the ac- tion the Rebekahs desired, and at once took up and discussed the charter from the point at which it was dropped on Friday. Every clause was considered carefully, and after several hours’ discussion it was decided to accept the charter, and word to that effect was sent to the grand master, who responded by going through the formality of announcement. The ceremony of installation was gone through, and the grand president an- nounced her appointments as follows: ‘Warden, Mrs. S. Wolf of Sacramento; con- ductor, Mrs. I. B. Baker; inside guardian, Mrs. D. C. Savage of Livermore; chaplain, Mrs. R. A. Cosner of Oroville. In order to show the brothers of the order that they had no_ hard feelings re- garding the action previously taken, the iadies of the assembly presented Grand Master Simpson with a handsome bouquet, in the center of which nestled a pretty gold watch with an inscription commemorative of the session and containing wishes for his success in the order. The presentation was made by Grand President Mrs. Greenwood, and came as a surprise to Grand Master Simpson, who accepted the gift with expressions of thanks and a promise to aid the ladies of the order in every way possible. Shortly after 2 p. m. the Rebekah As- sembly adjourned sine die, with a vote of | Now, when the music of the choir suited this old beast he'd get up and wag his tail with every evidence of satisfaction. When, on the other hand, it offended his critical taste, the dog would show signs of the utmost despondency, and, setting his head between his paws, emit low and inhar- monious howls. These eccentricities were regarded simply as evidences of more than ordinary canine sagacity, and the old dog’s visits to the vestry were not interdicted. But last Sunday an incident occurred which is difficult of even the most remote explanatiou. The choir had sung some portion of the new mass by Mr. Miel, and the thumps of the dog’s tail might be dis- tinctly heard against the vestry door. And then the clergyman read the lesson of the day, which was the history of the fate of the wicked Jezebel. When he came to the passage where the dogs lapped the blood of that wretched woman, the dog gave a loud, resonant and most dismal howl, and showed unmistakable signs of wrath and uneasiness. This is the occurrence which absolutely defies the theorist. had some dim understanding that a reflec- tion was being cast upon his ancestors and wished to enfer his protest against it, or the utterance of the word Jezebel re- minded him of a mate in the days of hi adolescence. Among the many illustra- tions of the striking intelligence of the dog this incident is not insignificant. Dax O’CoNNELL. THE “BULLETIN" MOVES. After Many Years on Clay Street the Pa- per Goes to New Quarters. The Evening Bulletin moved its edito- rial and composing rooms yesterday from 517 Clay street to 409 Bush street, where there are better accommodations and fa- cilities for publishing. The Bulletin will have a new press in op- { home. For many years the Bulletin was pub- lished on Clay street, or in the vicinity of Clay and Montgomery streets, so its mov- ing may be taken as’a sign of the times and that progress is in the air. ——————— An Early Morning Blaze, The Fire Department was called out early this morning to 5 Goodsell place, on Rincoa Hill, by an alarm from box 56. A one-story frame cottage, owned by Charles Goodsell and occupied by Henry Raymond, a barber, for several months, was in flames. The building, which Mr. Goodsell says was worth about $200, was fairly gutted. Raymond says he had just returned home about 11 o'clock and retired, taking the pre- caution to blow out the lamp. In a little while he was awakened by flames all about him, and barely escaped with his life. He says he had $800 ‘worth of furniture in sured for $400, and that his family went eway on & visit about & week ago. ————— A Chinese Native Son. Ah Wing, & Chinese criminal, played in luck yesterday. He served his term in San Quentin for an assault with a deadly weapon, but was rearrested by the United States Marshal as soon as he was set free. An attempt was made to deport him under the McCreery act, but as his attorney proved thet he was a native-born citi- zen he was allowed to go free. —————— Boys’ Brigade Reception. A reception and banquet will be tendered to State President-clect Dr. F. K. Ledyard of San Jose and ex-President M. 8. Woodhaus by the First California Brigede, Boys’ Brigade of the United States, Monday evening, at Association building, Mason and Ellis streets. THE OROP OF NOVELS. Fiction Forms the Majority of Manu- scripts Sent to Publishers. Novels form the largest part of the book manuscriptsreceived by publishing houses. Out of 100 manuscripts received during a recent fortnight by a prominent publish- ing firm sixty-two were novels. The same publisher told me that sometimes the per- centage of novels would reach 75 per cent. This tendency for novel writing is un- doubtedly due to the fact that the greatest “*hits” in the literary world are made with novels, and this stimulates the average writer to work in this field. _ Ot all these novels it is plain to be seen from the figures given in the preceding ynmurap'h that scores must be written be- ore one is accepted. And even if a writer has a novel gchted the percentage of suc- cess is decidedly against him. Durin, this investigation srocoss 1 selected fifteen recently published novels issued by six different houses, and I learned that the entire nnmberoognnted of these fifteen novels was 41, copies, or about 2700 copies of each. And in this fifteen 9000 copies_were printed of one novel—reall the only successful novel of the lot. It is safe to say that of these fifteen novels the average sale of each will not reach 1000 copies. Butfi}vmg that number to each the novel sel ing at §1, the author would receive less than $100 for his manuscript, deducting for mutilated copies and those sent to the newspapers, etc. I know case The animal may have | eration as soon as it is settled in its new ! | thanks to the press, the Grand Lodge and | the promise to accept the hospitality of | Templar Lod%%in the evening. | While the Rebekahs were wmdm% up | their session the Grand Lodge was busy | with routine business. The finance com- | mittee reported that the Odd Fellows’ | Home will need a sum of money for this | fiscal year which will probably necessitate | an assessment of 55 cents per capita on the | membership of this grand jurisdiction. | The assessment on snbordinate ledges is | estimated on a total membership of 30,685, | and was authorized by the following reso- | lutions, which were adopted: | Resolved, That an assessment of 55 cents per capita be levied upon the membership of the Subordinate lodges of this juriediction, as shown by their reports of Juné 30, 1895, and | that the same be made due and payable by the subordinate lodges as follows: Thirty cents per capita in July, 1895, and 25 cents per capita in January, 1896, and transmitted dircetly to the grand secretary. Resolved, That the sum so collected shall be set apart and known as the Odd Fellows’ Home Fund. The committee on official visitations and | redistricting of the State reported thata division of the jurisdiction into three sec- tions was deemed advisable, and that at | least one district must be visited each | yfiar. It was further reported and adopted | that: We would further recommend that where | the grand master cannot reach all parts of his | district he appoint one of the elective grand officers to perform this duty in his stead, pay- ing the expenses of such appointee out of the sum set a‘)m’t to him for that purpose. We would further recommend that the sum of $200 be set apart for the purpose of paying the expenses of the grand secretary when mak- ing official visits, under the direction of the grand master, for the purpose of instruction of | Todges. Quite a lively discussion ensued over the report of the commitiee on state of the order, which reported in part: | The test provided in the constitution is that the applicant must be of “good moral charae- ter and industrious habits, haying some known | respectable means of support.” Under existing law a subordinate lodge cannot make any ad- | ditional qualification, and cannot therefore | proscribe the keeper of a saloon or a person en- | gaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors if he is other qualified (White's Digest, 1889, sections 605 and 606), but the lodge shoul carefully consider all applications from per- sons engaged in such business (Journal, 1869, 12-13, 125-126). But a person engaged in Xkeeping e gambling-house or engaged therein, Or 1n any other business in violation of the criminal "laws of the State, does not come within the constitutional gualification and is not eligible (Journal, 1868, 414, 527); hence we approve and disapprove of said decision in eccordance herewith. Many of the delegates desired to disbar saloon-keepers, but as it was clearly shown that the Lusiness was not unlawful the report was adopted, and any member who is in any way connecteéd with a gambling- house is disqualified. It was agreed by vote to germit the Rebekah Assembly to work under the old method and not be compelled to comply with the Jaws adopted at this session of the Grand Lodge. All subordinate lodges were requested to | preserve their old charters, as it was held | the older the lodge the more honorable the charter. It was again decided that subordinate lodges shall not be permitted to incor- porate. The question as to the manner of the election of grand officers was indefinitely postponed. : The report of the legislative committee recommending that when two or more lodges desired to consolidate they be per- mitted to do so was adopted. Charters were ordered granted to all subordinate and Rebekah lodges organized since the last session. It was_declared illegal for any past grand to install any noble grand or vice- grand until he had examined the officers to be so installed and found them suffi- ciently acquainted with the work they would be called upon to perform to war- rant taeir installation. Representatives of the Sovereign Grand Lodge were requested to endeavor to ob- tain legislation favorable to aged members of defunct lodges. At the evening session the new officers were installed. Grand Master Gosbey ap- Eointed 0. F. Hitchcock, grand chaplain; 8. E. Moreland, grand marshal; J. C. Grider, grand conductor; E. B. Rich, grand “guardian; M. P. Forbes, grand herald. Past Grand Master Simpson was pre- sented with a jeweled badge on behalf of the Grand Lodge by V. 8. Northey. With thefood of the order at heart the forty-second annual session of the Grand Lodge - adjourned sine die. Many of the delegates accepted the invitation of Rebekah Templar Lodge to participate in the lunch and entertainment prepared for the Rebekah delegates. An extensive programme was enjoyed, ;ifwfi- which dancing followed in Memorial all. Mrs. Dora Baker, Mrs. W. L. Owen and Miss Clara Zinn, the committee in charge of the entertainment, were assisted by the members of the Templar Loage. e S after case where authors did not receive $50 all told as a return for a novel, and sometimes very much less than that.— Philadelphia Times. - e SpeciAL trimmed-hat sale Monday, Tuesday Big African Undertaking. A new South African Company—the Consolidated Estate of the Cape Colony— has been formed with a capital of £1,150,- 000, and with a strong board of directors, Wednesday this week. Seavey’s, 1382 Market | the chairman being Sir Thomas Suther- street. * |land. The company, it is stated, has ac- uired land in the Western Province of %a Colony to the extent of 652 square miles, including farms in the Cape division, Stellenbosch, Paarl, Malmesbury, Piquet- berg, Tulbagh and Ceres, the latter includ- ing the Waverley Mill estate, which is one of the best fruit-bearing farms in the coun- try, says the Westminster Gazette. n the Jast two years the country has been quietly prospected and opinions on the farms obtained, and the company would have been registered long since, but for the timidity of farmers in depositing their title deeds with the solicitors of the company. Some of these title deedsare most curious, & number of them benrinF the signature of Governor Van der Stell, under the Dutch Government some 250 years ago, and being so quaint that they are undecipherable, even to the cleverest Dutch scholar. The company being now registered the farmers whose lands have been bought will: be paid off in batches as the farms have been acquired, and an allowance will be made for im- provements since the options were ob- tained. A large number of the occupants, too, will be employed by the new company. The working capital of the company, it is stated, will be £350,000, and, among the objects, are working for minerals, wine farming, fruit-growing and the cultivation of cereals; and the company will also _go in for livestock breeding,” tree-plantin and water-boring onan extensive scale. It is said that the urosg_ecnng of the company in the Knils River district has resulted in the discovery of a seam of coal thirty feet thick, and gold reefs are reported to be of exceeding richness. Finds of cobalt, plum- bago and manganese are also reported in considerable quantities. The company is believed to have excellent prospects, for, owing to the thirst for gold and diamonds, farming now offers good chances at the Cape. SOON 70 JOIN FORCES, The Ladies’ Auxiliary to Affil- iate With the Actors’ Association. The Actresses Virtually Say That the Order Cannot Succeed Without Them. The actors and actresses of San Fran- cisco are nearly one—that is, they are nearly one, so far as the American Actors’ Association is concerned. Several days ago the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the American Actors’ Association held an interesting meeting at which a series of Miss Mina Gleason, Omte of the Aux- iliary Leaders. [From @ photograph.] Tesolutions were drafted, coupled with an appeal to the actors that the auxiliary be taken into the lodge on an equal footing with the male members. The ladies declared that there was not a sufficient number of actresses in San Francisco to form an inde- pendent lodge, and that the only way they could thoroughly evidence their loyalty to the order was through close and actual affiliation with the parent body. As yet the actors have made no answer to this appeal, but it is generally believed that, rather than see the auxiliary go to pieces, they will be admitted to full membership. In fact, it has been announced that the ladies will be given active membership, though nothing official will be known until the next meeting of the association. “We are only a_few,”’ said Miss Gleason yesterday, “and if_the association should ref) us membership it means that the auxiliary must go to pieces. I am confi- dent, however, that they will take us in, if what the members tell me is true. The matter is even of more importance to the Actors’ Association than it is to us, for the very reason that no institution can be a success that is divided against itself. They will finally act on the matter at the next meeting, and_that we will be cared for I haven’t the slightest doubt.” The auxiliary as it now stands is made upof the following ladies: Mrs. Sarah, iss Alice Kingsbury Cooley, Miss Anita Fallon, Miss Maud Edna Hall, Miss Helen Henry, Miss Julia Blanc, Miss Pauline Maitland, Miss Kate Eckert, Miss Annie- Dailey, Miss Edith Burtis, Miss Millie Liston and Miss Mina Gleason. The Actors’ Association is making ex- tensive preparations for the monster bene- fit to be given June6. The indications now are that it will be a grand success. BEYOND THE COUNTERFEITER. Bank of England Note Paper Against Fraud. It is interesting to know, on the author- ity of the Paper Record, that ever since Bank of England notes existed the paper for_ them has been made by one firm, says the Boston Herald. But it is not the water-marked paper alone that gives protection against for- gery, for the ink, the engraving and the printing are all of a special description, and the signature purs a finishing touch on the most difficult to imitate of all bank notes, although, perhaps, it is the plainest of all. . Still, after sll,ttgle paper of the Bank of England note is the chief safeguard, and possibly the public will never k%:ow all the traps set for the counterfeiter in the ma- terial of the note alone. The mold is the size of a pair of notes, and measures 5x16}¢ inches. When, therefore, the twin notes are separated by the guillotine, each has one edge b;eldthles clean cut, and three deckle edges. %hus a counterfeiter would be under the absolute necessity of providing himself with -hand-made paper, without which he w’;;ld not get zhree eckie edges. e twin notes are printed before separa- tion, and to enable the printer to knos‘the correct side of the pnfiuer for his impres- sion, the top right-hand corner of the dolp,lble note is i'fubhedtof:i. espairing of counterfeiting the paper, the “crooks” who fly at high- game’ o constantly plotted and planned to obtain a stock of paper which, whether in the milis or elsewbere, is as closely guarded as a Derby favorite. As recently as 1862 a successful burglary was committed at the mills, but although forged notes were quickly put in circulation, the thieves were soon captured and the bulk of the paper was recovered. .

A CONVENTION IS CALLED. Natlonal and Cathollc Organizations to Work In Perfect Har-~ mony. The Ancient Order of Hibernians, which is the largest and probably the most in- fluential of the Irish societies of San Fran- cisco, has taken the initiative in the estab- lishing of a fund for the erection of a hand- some building that will serve the purposes of all the Irish and Catholic organizations in the City. This action was decided upon at a recent meeting of the directory of the order, and committees were appointed to take charge of the building fund and devise ways and means for swelling it up to the proportions necessary to erect a structure that will be a credit to the Catholic societies and the City as well. The initiatory step will be taken on July 3, when there will be a joint entertainment of all the divisions of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Knights of St. Patrick, Knights of the Red Branch, St. Vincent de Paul Society, Young Men’s Institute, Young Ladies’ Institute, Catholic Ladies’ Aid Society and all the kindred organiza- tions of the Catholic church in San Fran- cisco. There will be a convention at which these bodies will be represented, and plans will then be perfected for the foundation and building of Hibernia Hall. These so- cieties are quite wealthy, and it will be an easy matter for them to_raise any sum of money that may be needed for the purpose. The Ancient Order of Hibernians is a pioneer society of California. Its object is to relieve distress wherever found among the brethren from the Emerald Isle, to aid its members in different ways, to en- courage devotion to their native land, and instill in the minds and hearts of all a loyalty to American principles and Ameri- can institutions. he! society is very goweriul in the United States, having ivisions in every city and town of im- portance from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The State officers of the society are as follows: President, Bernard Higgins, 356 North Second street, San Jose; recordin secretary, D. 8. McCarthy, 1365 TemE street, Oakland; treasurer, Matthew Crowe, Mountain View, Santa Clara County. The county officers of San Francisco are as follows: Chaplain, Rev. D. 0. Crowley, 2030 Howard street; president, M. J. Man- ning, 1776 Howard street; vice-president, John Blake, 915 Illinois street; recording secretary, M. H. McCaffegty, 1444 Jackson street; financial secretary, J. J. Meran, 3810 Market street; treasurer, Jeremiah Kel- leher, 272 Clementina street. The county officers, or board of directors, meet on the third Friday of the month at 927 Mission street. The divisions will meet during the com- ing week to arrange the preliminaries for the joint gathering in July. All the Hibernians in the City are ‘enthusiastic over the proposition, and the prospects are most encouraging for a handsome hall. Division No. 9, Ancient Order of Hiber- nians, is making active preparations for its annual picnic and outing on Decoration day. There will be a long list of valuable prizes and the affair promises to be of more than usual interest. There will be games of various kinds for boys and girls, and men, and games in which the ladies also may participate. Besides there will be_excellent music for those who enjoy this, The Irish music will be a feature of the day. And every care is being taken R‘y the committee against overcrowding. here will be ample accommodation for all who may attend.
