BLYTHE LAWYERS' FEES. They Will Amount to a Handsome For- tune for Each One of the Lawyers. Under a contract placed on record yes- terday it appears that the law firm of Garber, Boalt & Bishop will receive as their fees for winning the suit of Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley no less than §320,000, of which W. W. Foote shall re- ceive $100,000. The paper takes the form of a lien upon the estate for 8 per cent of its value. It was executed January 19, 1894, but another agreement antedated as faras June 12, 1889, made by James Crisp Perry, the grand- father and guardian of Florence, in which the law firm engaged for the consideration ‘Women’s Congress upon man’s eminent | amed to prosecute the claims of their client through all the courts until a final decision was reached; they to employ ‘W.

Perry, and Florence herseli when she reached her majority, The paper also states that Florence be- ing wholly without means the firm had advanced her $13,873 21, and W. W.

The engi- proposed boat-landing. | esterday afternoon Policeman Thomas | McGlynn did a simple act that honored his new uniform and proved himself an effi- cient and thoughtful officer. Two girls, apparently sisters and evidently strangers, | came off the ferry-boat and stood be- wildered in the midst of a crowd of howl- They knew the street and number of their des- tination, hut were ignorant of the mcans of getting there. They were being pulled thisway and that way, when Officer Mc- Glynn "appeared. He soon learned the girls’ wants, and, taking them to the proper streetcar, gave the two unsophisti- cated strangers into the conductor’s charge. The hackmen considered that by the act of the officer two fares were lost to the fraternity, and a principle was thereby in- volved. They shook their licenses in” the face of the policeman, and it looked as if his club must clear out the yelling gang around him. However, a threat from the officer to run the whole gane in dispersed them. Several deep-waters came_in yesterday, namely: the British ship Kelat, 147 days from Hamburg; the British ship James Kerr, seventy-three days from Newcastle; the British ship Halewood, 144 days from Antwerp; the British bark Ravenscourt, 144 days from Swansea; the American brig J. D. Spreckels, twelve days from Honolulu. The first of the coming trolley-wire breaks occurred yesterday on East street, near Market. The charged wire when it parted fortunately did not fall on any- body. The broken end, however, wiggled and twisted around, and several persons were accidentally touched, receiving severe shocks. The wire got into a pile of dry rubbish and the current set the messon fire. Two or three persons sprang forward to extinguish the small conflagration and were knocked half across the street. After along delay the current was shut off and the break repaired. WINTHROP ARRAIGNED. The Letter to Supreme Recorder Linn Opened and Found to Contain Nothing Startling. O. W. Winthrop, assistant superintend- | ent of Laurel Hill Cemetery, was arraigned in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday for the murder of Mrs. Jennie Mathews and instructed as to his rights. He was calm and collected in his manner and answered the few neeessary questions in firm, grave tones. He announced that his attorneys were W. W. Allen and C. W. Kyle. At the request of Winthrop’s attorneys the preliminary examination was set for Friday, June 7, at 2 ». M., by which time the Coroner’s inquest will have been held. Captain Lees consulted Prosecuting At- torney Dare yesterday on the question of opening the letter which Winthrop had written to Supreme Reeorder Linn, }()ndia- napolis, and which was found in his pocket when arrested. He took the step because Attorney Allen had formally protested against the letter being opened. r. Dare, after examining the law, held that the permission given by Mr. Linn was suflicient to warrant the captain in open- ing the letter. He accordingly did _so, but it did not contain the certificate of insur- ance granted on the life of Mrs, Mathews as was suspected. After some unimportant sentences the letter read: ““What is the course to pur- suein filing a certificate of death in the case of Mrs. Jennie Mathews, who died under peculiar circumstances in this City ? Please send place and date of her birth and such other information as will be necessary in making application to the court for the money due on beneficiary certificate in favor of her minor child.” "And that was all—a l'mple business inquiry. ————— THE WEBER MURDERS. 0g received ‘an unmerciful beat- | genry Sandt, Another Suspect, Taken to Kacramento.

The First Trainload of Cherries Will Be Sent to the East on June 4. The San Francisco and Oakland passen- ger-ticket agents met Monday in the Palace Hotel. It was an adjourned meet- ing that they held, as a great deal depend- ed on the action of the Transcontinental Association in Chicago, which contrary to expectations adjourned until June 4 with- out coming to any conclusion. For the presen: the local association will manage its own affairs independent of the high officials who gather from all parts of the country to arrange rates in Chicago. At Monday’s meeting the members de- cided to continue under the agreement signed recently until they receive official notification from the Transcontinental Association of what all railroads engaged in carrying passengess across the conti- nent are bound to observe. So they paid $100 each into the treasury of the associa- tion for *‘faith’’ money, or as an equiva- lent of an initiation fee, though the mone; is to be reserved as a %uamntee ot goog faith that every agent will maintain prices of tickets and that they will not do busi- ness through brokers or scalpers. After the agents deposited the money they ad- journed until after June 4. J. A. Fillmore, assistant superintendent of the Southern Pacific Company, left last evening for El Paso on a tour of inspection, accompanied by Mr. Mahl, who is officially known as second assistant to the presi- dent and familiarly as Huntington’s ex- pert. Mahl has been here for some weeks experting the accounts of the company, and now he is taking a look at the roa and its equipment, to make a report later to the president in New York. ‘W. G. Curtis, chief engineer of the main- tenance of way department of the South- ern Pacific Compan%. J. H. Wallace, his assistant, and Frank Janes, superintendent of the Western Union Telegraph Com- pany, will go to the Sierras to-day to in- spect the snowsheds. There are thirty- four miles of snowsheds, and they need repairing. The first train of ventilated fruit cars will be sent from Sacramento June 4 for Chicago with cherries for the Eastern mar- ket, The time, according to schedule, is 120 hours between Sacramento and Chicago. The rate on horses to Portland, Or., has been changed from return to single fares, though no reduction is made. As a matter of convenience for owners of horses who wish to enter for the Portland races, opening June 16, a single rate was made. The fare for an ordinary freight car, single trip, is $100, for a palace horse- car or baggage-car. $195, for an ordinary freight car by passenger train §$150, palace horse-car or baggage-car by passenger train $265. ——————— THE TOBIN BATTERY. Dismissed Because the Wife Did Not Appear in Court. J. J. Tobin Jr. appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday to answer toa charge of battery preferred by his wife. Mrs. Tobin, in swearing out the warrant, stated that her husband on Monday morning struck her in the face with a sluneshot, blacken- ing her eyes and disfiguring her nose. fc came out that the cause of the assault was jealousy. An owner of racehorses had been paying his attentions to Mrs. Tobin, which her husband resented. Owing to the prominence attained by Mras. Tobin in bringing a suit for damages against the Racetrack Association for having been ejected from the track, there was an unusual number of spectators in the court to see her and listen io her evi- dence. They were disappointed, as she failed to appear, and the case was dismissed. e WiLLiAM J. Florence in the “Almighty Dol- Jur” is immortalized by the cigar named after his great play. B TALKED TO THE TEACHERS, Miss Anthony, Miss Shaw and Mrs. Cooper at Golden Gate Hall. “DEGRADED CLASS OF LABOR.” Eminent Equal Suffragists Give Their Experience as Teachers. The teachers of the City schools as- sembled at Golden Gate Hall yesterday afternoon to hear addresses by Miss An- thony, Miss Shaw and Mrs. Cooper. Much enthusiasm was shown, and at the close one of the teachers rose to announce that this was exactly the kind of an institute teachers like. Superintendent Babcock in- troduced Miss Anthony, who made a hali- hour address, in which she enunciated what she calls ber ‘‘one idea,” besides some pertinent remarks on teaching. Miss Anthony gave the story of her own experience as a teacher, laying stress upon the fact that after many years’ service, which had been pronounced good by the superintendents, her salary was still $2 50 per week, with the privilege of boarding round. Describing the State convention of teachers held in New York, she caused a gale of laughter by her account of how she secured permission to speak at that con- vention, of which Professor Davies of mathematical fame was the presiding offi- cer. For a decade she continued to attend those annual conventions, always striving to introduce a resolution that women do- ing work in the schoolroom equal to that of men should receive the same pay. She was glad, she said, that a law exists here that the salaries of men and women teach- ers shall be the same. : ~ Miss Agnes Manning interrupted the speaker and announced that she had writ- ten the law, and she and Miss Kate Ken- nedy had secured its passage. Yet the word “primary” in that law had killed it, Resuming the subject of teaching, Miss Anthony said that women who had not a special aptitude ana liking for that pro- fession sgould seek usefulness elsewhere, and leave the avenue open for women who are specially adapted to teaching. The great hindrance to progress in this line 1s that there are too many people engaged in it who are not_fitted for it. "In closing she said that, so long as women are of the de- graded class of labor, so long as they have no ballot with which to persuade,to ele- vate that class, just so long will they labor for smaller wages than are paid to men doing the same amount of work. Miss Shaw said she, too, had been a teacher; she, too, had taught for the small sum of $2 per week, with boarding round. It was by means of the ‘‘boarding-round” experience that she had Jearned so much about the subject of marriage. Muscle was a more necessary qualification than brains in the teachers of those days. In the present day the profession of teaching requires the finest intellect and the most finely trained consciences. “When women get the ballot, if I am ever elected to a place in the National Legislature,” she declared, “I will intro- duce a bill requiring that teachers be pen- sioned. Generals, colonels, captains, those men who are trained to kill people, are re- tired on half pension, whole pension, double pension, but teachers—why are they not pensioned? The argument is often made that women are not proper teachers of patriotism. Some German sage has said: ‘There will never be true patriot- ism in America till boys are trained by men teachers. How can a political non- entity teach a politicai entity patriotism?’ Now, that is in a measure true, but what | would a thinking woman answer? She would say: ‘Granted, but give us the ballot. Make us political entities and all that will be changed.” ”” Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper said she could not leave the hall without communicating the good news that Dr. Walk of Trinity Church had just brought from that body of Epis- copalian ministers, met in convention in the south, the messu%ze that they had in- dorsed the woman-suffrage movement. A brief pungent address favoring woman suffrage fcllowed, and Mrs. Cooper was heartily applauded as she resumed her seat. On motion of Silas Wright, principal of the Spring Valley School, a vote of thanks was extended to the speakers. HIBERNIANS IN' SESSION Annual Convention of Divi- sions Under the Board of Erin. The Question of Union With the American Order Is Dis- cussed. The twenty-eighth annual convention of what is known as the original, or Board of Erin, branch of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, commenced at 818 Howard street, last night, and remained in session until a very late honr. Delegates were present from San Fran- cisco, Santa Clara, Marin, San Mateo, Alameda and Sonoma counties. Altogether there are thirty-two divisions in this State. Patrick McHugh, the State delegate, pre- sided by virtue of his office. Mr. Mec- Hugh has been in the order for over twenty years, and was grand marshal of the St. Patrick’s day parade during the Midwinter fair. Very little was done other than the ap- pointment of the usual committees. The one important %uesti_on under considera- tion is the much-desired union of the two branches. s About nine years ago a split occurred in the society and since then there have been two separate jurisdictions. The Board of Erin branch charges what is commonl: known as the American branch with secedy- ing from the parent society and gives poli- tics as the reason for the split. It charges the American branch with using the order for political purposes in this country and has ever since remained aloof. It claims direct descent from the original society which the O’Neills, 0’Connells, O'Donnells, O'Farrells, Prestons, the clan Rickards and other prominent families of Ireland started in 1649, and which for a long time had its headquarters at Limerick, Lawl{ there has been a movement in favor of a union of the two branches, in the hope that the material prosperity and numerical strength would be greatly im- vroved thereby. At the last National con- vention of the American branch, which was held over a year ago, Judge Wilhire of Philadelphia, a Pennsylvania ex-Congress- man, who is 1ts National delegate, recom- mended that an advance be made in favor of coalition. 3 The National convention of the Board of Erin branch was held at Tammany Hall in New York on the 9th inst. It appointed a committee to confer with a like commit- tee of the American branch, which had al- ready been chosen on Judge Wilhire's recommendation, and the “question of amalgamation now largely rests with the State conventions: that 'is, if it appears thata unicn is generally favored from a summing up of the attitudesof the vari- ous State conventions, National Delegate John J. Heggerty of New York -nd%%- tional Secretary J. Kilgariff of Chicago, with the National treasurer, may so re- rt. All that will then be necessary will : :.‘ final ratification by the society in Ire- land. This question was somewhat discussed last night, but no conclusion was reached, as the various delegates are more or less divided on it as yet. The reports of State Delegate P. Me- Hugh, State Secretary John Neagle and State Treasurer P. F. Dugan will be acted upon to-day and the officers for the ensu- ing year will be elected. There are about thirty-two divisions in the State. Alto- ether there are said to be 2500 members. n New York alone there are 105 divisions and in the United States the membership is about 93,000. Following were the committees chosen: Grievances—D. Ward, M. G. Sears and P. Me- ugh. Good and welfare—John Neagle, C. Whelan, John Lynch, M. F. O'Sullivan, Thomas Norton and D, G. Hern. Fingnce—James Gillespie, John Neagle, Dan Ward, P. Corrigan, John Suilivan, John Lyons, D. Quinn and James Gilmore. Resolutions—James Gillespie, John Sullivan and P. Flynn. “Press—Chatles Whelan, John Neagle and M. G. Sears. WORK OF AN INCENDIARY. Attemipt to Burn Down the Saloon of John 8. MaclIntosh. An attempt was made at an early hour vesterday morning to burn down the saloon of John 8. MacIntosh, corner of Leavenworth and McAllister streets. Some one opened the front door leading to the upper story and started a fire at the bottom of the stairway. Paper wasstuffed under the carpet on the bottom stair and piled against the partition between the stairway and the saloon and ignited. Maclntosh and a friend from San Jose were sleeping in the upper stery. The friend was awakened by the smell of smoke about 5:30 o’ciock and roused Mac- Intosh from his slumbers. They made a hurried examination and discovered the fire at the bottom of the stairs, which was extinguished with a few bucketfuls of water. The incendiary must have had a key to the front door, as it was locked by Mac- Intosh before retiring for the night. The police were notified and Detective Silvey was detailed on the case. THEY PIED THE TYPE. Two Printers Arrested on the Charge of Malicious Mischief. ‘W. W. Wilson, a printer, was arrested at 1362 Market street last night by Policeman Campbell and booked at the City Prison on the charge of malicious mischief. ‘When Campbell entered Wilson’s room on the top story he climbed out of the window with the intention of sliding down a water- }Jipfie to the ground, a distance of 60 or 70 eet. On April 21 he and Albert Oliver, an- other printer, who was arrested at Ala- meda on Sunday. broke into the printing office of the California Catholic, 954 How- ard street, and pied a lot of type and broke up things generall y. o LEVIN AND WO00D SENTENCED. Each Is Given a Year in Alameda Jail and a Fine of $500. Judge Hawley has sentenced Solomon Levin and Isidore Wood, two book-dealers convicted of sending indecent literature through the mails, to one year’s imprison- ment in the Alameda County Jail and to {:a\yu fine of §500. The sentence is upon ut one of the two counts which the in- dictments against each oifender charged. The sentence to the Alameda jail instead of the State prison was passed in pursu- ance of the jury’s recommendation to mercy and at the earnest intercession of the prisoners’ counsel. , YOUNG LAY GRADUATES, Diplomas and Degrees Con- ferred at Mills Seminary Yesterday. A Concert at the College, In Which the Pupils Distingulshed Themselves. The graduation exercises of the Mills Seminary took place yesterday. A large number of visitors were present. The exercises opened with recitations from the Scriptures. Some excellent music was then sung by the school, after which Dr. Dinsmore of San Josg delivered an ad- dress. Piano solos were performed by Misses Heydenfeldt and Longmire, and vocal solos by Misses Allis, McConnell and Klink. Mrs. Mills addressed the senior class and distributed the diplomas.

Diplomas were also awarded to the fol- lowing, wno attended the seminary: Misses Irene Backus, Jessie Longmire, Eula Ponblin, Marie Klink, Sunshine Hey- denfeldt, Minna_Hotte, Emily McLean, Adelaide Lewis, Mabel Moore, Jessie Guss. A concert was given at the seminary last evening as a preliminary to the commence- ment exercises of the institution, which drew a large audience, composed of friends and relatives of the graduating class, and those who attended were gratified by a rare treat in the literary and musical num- bers presented.

The baccalaureate sermon preached by Rev. W. W. Scudder of Alameda was based upon ine words of Christ to the Samaritan woman beside Jacob’s well. “Ask your- selves when in society, when at the sum- mer resort, not what the world calls proper,” said he, “but what Christ himself would have you do. The Christian life must be a wellspring to revive and com- fort weary human hearts.”” e —— Against Ex-Supervisor James. ‘The Supreme Court yesterdey affirmed the judgment and order of the lower court in the case of John F.Lassing vs. J. G. James. This was an action brought by Lassing to recover yalue of scme hay at $5 a ton, and also the price of pasturage agreed upon. James set out 8 cross-complaint claiming damages for injury to his cattle by plaintif’s neglect, but it was held unsupported end judgment went for laintiff, gom which James apx:e-led. The gone of contention was the amount of hay that urchased and the interpreiation getwean the parties. ——————————— Three Weeks Instead of Two. * The engagement of the Liliputians in “Hum) ?Dumpty" at the Baldwin has been extendl; so as to cover a third week, com- mencing Monday evening next.

Ward arose and said: The spirit of love and brotherhood should possess all in this assembly. For a long time there have not been kindly feelings between ! our vice—qresulem, Mr. Holden, and myself, and once I refused'to take his hand, because & petty professional jealousy had come between us. I wish the past with its jealousies and etty spites buried, and I now offer Brother Holden my hand. Let us bury old grodges. The old actor made a striking picture as he stood with extended hand in a glow of sunlight that entered through a partly opened blind. i Mr. Holden sprang from_his chair and a second later tfie two old enemies were heartily shaking each other by the hand. The past was buried and more than one eye was moist with emotion. J. Harry Benrimo told of the success of the committee in arranging for the benefit. He said that the Theatrical Mechanics’ Association has volunteered ail the hel required. The Musicians’ Union will send three of the largest bands, also more 1f necessary, and all of the talent required had volunteered.
