4 i THE SAN FRANCISCO' CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 1895. WON BY THE WIFE An Interesting Divorce Case Is Quickly Decided. TROUBLE OF THE BOLLES. Mrs. Foltz, the Noted Attorney, Conducts the Case for the Plaintiff. BIG ALIMONY IS ALLOWED. One Little Allegation on the Part of the Husband That Does Not Hold. DENVER, Coro., June 12.—A special to the News from Colorado Springs says: A divorce suit in the first division of the District Court last evening is causing con- siderable talk to-day, owing to the promi- nence of the parties and the big alimony. Mrs. Julia A. Sherman Bolles was granted adivorce from Richard J. Bolles and was given $75,000 cash. R. J. Bolles is a wealthy citizen, having made a great deal of money in the Mollie Gibson and Argentum mines. Last winter a Miss Sherman arrived at the Antlers and it was announced that she was a sister of Mrs. Richard N. Bolles, who made her home in California. Two months ago Mrs. Bolles arrived on the scene, and it became rumored that there was likely to be divorce proceedings. Tuesday evening, after the regular hour of court, the attorneys of Bolles appeared in the court and filed a complaint and bill for divorce. The com- plaint alleged desertion. Immediately Mrs, Clara Foltz of San Francisco, the well-known woman lawyer, filed a cross bill, alleging desertion on the part of Bolles. Mrs. Foltz arrived about the same time as Mrs. Bolles, and announced thatshe was going to locate here. A jury was sum- moned, and the case immediately went on trial. After some formal testimony the jury brought ina verdict for the defend- ant, Mrs, Bolles. This morning the decree was entered and filed, and it was agreed that the wife should have $75,000, that the plaintiff should pay her attorney’s fees and the cost of the suit. It is understood that Mrs. Bolles holds a considerable amount ‘of property in her own name in the East over and above that assigned in the decree and that she really gets about $200,000. Mrs. Bolles is a guest at the Antlers, She is a large and handsome woman, with blonde hair. They were married in 1868 and have no children. It was Mrs. Foltz’s first appearance in court here, and she is credited with being a shrewd, sharp lawyer. DEBS GIVES HIMSELF UP. His Absence, He Explained, Was Due to an Attack of Illness. Regret Expressed for His Inabllity to Keep His Appointment Tuesday. CHICAGO, Iin., June 12.—Eugene V. Debs, whose term of imprisonment in Woodstock Jail was to have begun last night, presented himself at the United States Marshal's office at 11 A. M. to-day, after having been lost to the authorities since noon yesterday. He came in shortly after the entire force of Federal Deputy Marshals in Chicago had been sent in search of him. Debs explained his absence by saying that he was ill yesterday. He went to the office of a friend in the afternoon and fell asleep, he said, not awakening until 7 o'clock to-day. Aside from a bad headache he seemed to be in good health when he arrived at the Marshal’s office. He deeply regretted, he said, that he had failed to keep his appointment with the Deputy Marshal who was to have taken him to jail last night, and was much surprised to hear of the search that had been made for him. He was emphatic in his denial of the story that his tardy surrender was the result of a too free indulgence in liquor. This afternoon, at 5 o’clock, Debs was taken to the Woodstock Jail and Howard was taken to the Will County Jail at Joliet one hour later. e SERIOUS TROUBLE FEARED. It Is Likely to Break Out at Any Time in Couer d’Alene. DENVER, CoL., June 12.—A special to the Republican from Boise, Idaho, says: An alarming state of affairs exists in Ceeur d’ Alene, in Northern Idaho. News re- ceived here to-day indicates that serious trouble is likely to break out there at any time between the Miners’ Union and the law and order men in that section who have organized to protect laborers in their right to work if they can get employment and the mine-owners in their right te em- ploy whom they pleaso. A man who incurred tlse enmity of the Miners’ Union was killed there recently, murdered with an ax, which was found buried in his skull, and the Coroner’s jury returned a verdict of suicide. Governor McConnell has made a requisi- tion on the Government for arms and has obtained several hundred stand. Over 200 volunteers are drilling here to-night to prepare for the coming conflict, which seems imminent. Idaho has no State mi- litia. i e D DEMANDS LEGAL TENDER. Plank: iu the Platform of the Ohio Pro- nivitionists. SPRINGFIELD, O=mio., June 12.—The Prohibition State convention practically completed its labors this afternoon, but did not adjourn until the ratification meet- ing to-night. The principal plank is as follows: The money of the country should be of full legal tender, issued indirectly to the people on ample security, in such quantities as the peo- ple may demand, and to all st uniform inter- est. To this end the Government should estab- lish real national banks as it does postoffices wherever the convenience of the people de- mands. Until such fluanclal system can be established, we favor free and unlimited coin- age of silver and gold at a ratioof 16 to 1,88 & temporary relief. : A full ticket was named, the principal xl-n‘omsi‘nelgiom being :quih;% Slgnmagem. . ‘hompson, ringfield ; V¢ s Scth H.

AT A, CLEANED OUX A FAMILY. Desperate Means Taken by a Mortgagee to Recover Property. OMAHA, NEBr., June 12.—A special to the Bee from Springview, says: G. A. Porter, a resident of Spring Creek, Keya- paba County, came in to-day and gave himself up to the Sheriff, claiming he had killed one man, wounded three more and beaten ‘a woman nearly to death. The family killed and wounded goes by the name of Woodford and are negroes. Mr. Porter went after some mortgaged horses, and the Woodfords refusing to give them up the fight ensued. 10 PROTECT THE PRESS, A Law Wanted to Preserve Inviolate Confidential Information. Amendment of the Libel Laws Advocated and the Text of One Submitted. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 12.—The convention of the International League of Press Clubs to-day adopted a resolution offered by Charles Emery Smith of the Philadelphia Press, urging the various press clubs of the league to work ener- getically to secure from the Legislatures of the several States the passage of laws to protect newspaper men in preserving in- violate confidential information communi- cated to them in the ordinary course of their duties. The resolution was adopted. Speaking as a newspaper proprietor, Mr. Smith said that if he had correctly ob- served the young men about him there was not one worthy member in the newspaper profession who would not rather rot in jail than betray his confidence. John H. Low of Philadelphia offered a resolution relative to libel laws, introduc- ing it with a long preamble calling atten- tion to the services performed by the news- papers of the Nation as the chief weapons of defense against official corruption and vice and reciting that it has become their duty and right to expose public scandal, maladministration of offices and violations of law so long as they do not in printing or writing abuse the liberty granted them. In conclusion the resolution calls upon the president of the league to petition the Legislatures. to pass a general libel law, worded as follows: Before any suit shall be brought for the pub- lication of & libel in any newspaper in this State, the aggrieved party shall, at least three days before filing the complaint in such suit, serve s notice on the publisher or publishers of said newspaper at their principal office of publication, specifying the statements in the said article which he or they may allege to be false or defamatory. If it shall appear on the trial of said action that the article was pub- lished in good faith, that its falsity was due to & mistake or misapprehension of the facts, and that a full and fair retraction of any statement therein alleged to be erroneous was published in the next regular issue of such newspaper, or in case of daily papers within three days after such mistake or misapprehension was brought to the knowledge of such pub- lisher or publishers in as conspicuous a place and type in such newspaper as was the article complained of as iibelous, then the plaintiff in such cases shall recover only actnal damages; provided, however, that the provis- ions of this act shall not apply to the case of any libel against any candidate for a public office in this Btate, unless the retraction of the charge is made editorially in a conspicuous manner at least three days before election, in case such libelous article was published in a daily newspaper; if published in & weekly paper, at least ten days before the election. The resolution was adopted. The convention this morning selected Buffalo as the place for holding their next convention, the date to be fixed by the executive committee. The following offi- cers were chosen to serve during the com- ing year: President, Louis H. Megargee, Philadelphia; first vice-president, Joseph Howard Jr., New York; treasurer, James 8. McCarty, Philadelphia; secretary, Harry D. Vought, Buffalo. T DESERTED HIS BURNING SHIP. Passengers Left to Their Fate by a Brit- ish Captain. ST. MALO, France, June 12.—Particu- lars have been received here of the deser- tion of the passengers of the British vessel ‘Why Not by the crew after a fire broke out on the ship on her way to the island of Jersey. It appears the fire was discovered in the Why Not's hold on Saturday, and while the sailors were attempting to quench the flames the bucket dropped overboard. A boat was lowered to recover it, and the captain jumped into the boat, followed by the crew. One passénger sprang over- board and swam after the boat, into which he was reluctantly taken. The deserted passengers were greatly alarmed, and the excitement among them increased when the small boat was seen pulling for Erquay, where the crew eventually landed. Taking advantage of a breeze, the passen- gers succeeded in beaching the Why Not near Erquay. The matter is being thoroughly investigated by local authori- ties. The captain of the Why Not, al- though not under arrest, is closely watched by the police. 3 P Russia’s Hold on China. LONDON, Ex~e., June 12.—The Chinese loan is quoted at 2}¢ per cent premium on the Paris Bourse, It is taken by four Russian banking-houses. From a_ politi- sal point of view the loan forms a danger- us precedent, as it gives Russia & finan- cial hold over China which it will be diffi- cult to break off. —_—— Japanese Ocoupy Formosa. HONGKONG, OCHiva, June 12.— The Japanese have made a peaceful occupation of Tamsui and Taipehefu, in the island of Formosa., They are administering the cus- toms and trade is resumed. No further trouble was encountered. T0 UPHOLD TREATIES Warning Issued to the . Filibusters of Cuba. OLNEY IS IN EARNEST. Causes the President to Pub- lish a Proclamation to Sympathizers. ALL THE LAWS TO BE UPHELD. Armed Expeditions Not to Be Allowed to Depart to Fight the Spanish. WASHINGTON, D. U., June 12.—Sec- retary Olney is thoroughly determined that the United States Government shall do all in its power and all that interna- tional law requires to prevent the viola- tion of the United States treaty by persons who undertake to make this country a base of hostile operations against Spain, with which power it is at peace. Com- plaints have reached the Department of State through the Spanish Minister that men are being recruited on American soil and that armed expeditions are leaving our shores for the purpose of attacking the Spanish forces in Cuba. Whenever the necessary evidence can be produced these infractions of the law are to be severely punished, for the Secretary of State will leave no just ground for complaint that the United States has failed in its obliga- tions to other nations. Meanwhile, however, it has been deemed proper to give formal warning to mis- guided people of what they may expect, so this afternoon the following proclamation was issued from the State Department: BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. A PROCLAMATION. ‘WHEREAS, The island of Cuba is now the seat of serious civil disturbances, accompanied by armed resistance to the suthority of the established Government of Spain, & power with which the United States are and desire to remain on terms of peace and amity; and whereas, the laws of the United States prohibit their citizens as well as all others being within and subject to their jurisdietion from taking part in such disturbances adversely to such established government, by accepting or exercising com- missions for warlike service against it by en- listment or procuring others to enlist for such service by fitting out or procuring to be fitted out any armed ships of war for such service by augmenting the force of any ship of war en- gaged in such service and atriving in a port of the United States and by setting on foot or pro- viding or preparing the means for military en- terprises to be carried on from the United States against the territory of such government. Now, therefore, in recognition of the laws aforesaid and in discharge of the obligations of the United States toward a friendly power, and as & measure of precaution and to the end that citizens of the United States and all others within its jurisdiction may be deterred from subjecting themselves to legal forfeitures and penalties, I, Grover Cleveland, President of the United States of America, do hereby admonish all such citizens end other persons to abstain from every violation of laws hereinbefore referrea to and do hereby warn them that all violations of such laws will be rigorously prosecuted; and I do hereby enjoin upon all officers of the United States, charged with the execution of said laws, the utmost diligence in preventing violations thereof and in bringing to trial and punishment any offenders against the same. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 12th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and nineteenth. GROVER CLEVELAND. By the President: RICHARD OLNEY, Secretary of State. THEY EXCHANGE SHOTS. Volunteers Have a Little Brush With the Insurgents. HAVANA, Cusa, June 12.—A detach- ment of volunteers reconnoitering on Mt. Saugado and Remedies has exchanged shots with the insurgents, commanded by Perico Diaz. The insurgents lost one man killed, and three wounded. The merchants of Havana have subscribed $100,000 to or- ganize and maintain two companies of cavalry volunteers. Five men who tried to leave this port on the schooner Candora for Cabinas, in the province of Pinar Delrio, without passports and under false names, have been arrested. It is claimed they were going to the Ca- binas to try and raise a band of insurgents in that vicinity. DEEDS OF AN AGNOSTIOC. Misfortune Causes Sigmund Schneidter to Kill Wife and Self. NEW YORK, N. Y,, June 12.—Sigmund Schneidter, aged 36, of 21 East Eighty- fourth street, shot his wife in the forehead to-day, inflicting a fatal wound. He then blew out his own brains. Schneidter was a son of a wealthy flour manufacturer of Kattowitz, Prussia Silesia, but he and his wife lived in poverty. He had been employed as collector for the United Garment-workers of America. Be- fore committing the terrible crime Schneid- ter had written the following note, which was found on a table in his apartments: NEW YORK, N. Y., June 12. To the Coroner: Being unable to bear life’s ‘miseries any longer, 1 determined to end my life, taking my dearly beloved companion with me. Colonel Ingersoll is right in his &iews and lectures and is, to my opinion, the most sensible man of the century. Our social sys- tem is wrong and unjust, and our laws, churches and priests are fakes. They all serve one god, and his name is Mammon. SBIGMUND SCHNEIDTER. Schneidter was graduated from Heidel- berg, after which he married. He then took up the study of mining and became a director of mines in Prussian Silesia. He saved money, and with that and what was given him by his father he invested in mining. He failed, however, ana lost about 11,000 marks. This was about eleven years ago. After this Schneidter came to America and went to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., where he was employed as a mining expert until the company he was with failed. Then he drifted to New York, where he has been working at anything which came along. He was born a He- brew, but became an agnostic. He ap- peared to be devotedly attachea to his wife. St A DEATH IN A MINE. Twenty-Two Mem Caught in an Under- ground Mine, BRESLAU, GERMANY, June 12.—The loss of life at the Seningoltes mine, belonging to Count Connersmark, in which the fire broke out on Monday last, is not so great as was at first anticipated. Nine bodies have been recovered and fifteen persons are still missing. The rest of the miners es- caped. There is no doubt the misging miners were suffocated. DURRANT’S TRIAL. A Report That a Change of Venue Would Be Asked For Denied. It was stated in a dispatch which was re- ceived frem Santa Rosa last evening that the case of W. H. Theodore Durrant, who is charged with the murder of Blanche La- mont and Minnie Williams in the Emman- uel Baptist Church, on Bartlett street, was to be transferred, if possible, to that town upon the ground that the defendant, Dur- rant, could not get a fair trial in this City, owing to popular prejudice against him, s An’investigation of the report in this City, however, proved it to be without foundation. “It is the first I have heard of it,” said Eugene Deuprey, one of Durrant’s at- torneys, ‘“and if it was true I should know something of it. Why, we have not even contemplated such a step, and you can take it from me that we do not think any such action necessary.” District Attorney Barnes, when spoken to regarding the matter, said that he did not believe that any such action would be taken. “I think it is moonshine,” he said. “Of course, I know nothing about the stand which the defense will %ake in this case, but I fail to see where there are any reason- able grounds upan which to base a motion for a change of venue. ‘“Then again, if such an action was taken the proper papers would have to be filed, and I, ‘as a matter of course, would be served. Then I would be allowed the time to file a res{;onse and the other technicali- ties would follow. Nothing has been done that way though, and I do not believe any- thing will be, but then that is a matter which rests with Durrant’s attorneys.” ANTE-FOURTH EXPLOSION, AFireworks Company Declares That lts Bid Was Opened and Copied. Preparations for the Big Holiday Celebration Are Progressing Rapidly. There was quite a little breeze at last night’s meeting of the Fourth of July cele- bration executive committee. Charges were made by Fred B. Sadler of the Unex- celled Fireworks Company, which will be investigated by a full board. Certain remarks were made about the fireworks committee, and A, A. Banz, A. Castle, George H. Pippy and I. W. Hell- man Jr., the members of it, resigned in a body. Two bids had been presented to the committee and these were ordered re- turned unopened to the bidders. Mr. Sad- ler now asserts that his envelope was opened and that a copy of what he pro- posed to supply in the way of set pieces and the prices was taken. The committee discussed the matter in an informal manner, but no action was taken. It was decided to expend $2500 on fireworks, however, and the display will be made on barges in the bay. The subject of illuminating Market street was not dis- cussed. The matter of reduced rates to San Fran- cisco for excursionists was brought to the attention of the Southern Pacific Company and the following answer has been received from General Passenger Agent T. H. Good- man: Dear Sir: Referring to conversations had with different members of your committee relative to excursion rates covering the Fourth of July holidays to and from all points on our system in Caiifornia, now beg to advise that we have just decided to instruct our agents to sell special tickets for this occasion at a one- way rate for the round trip, with the exce; tioh that from points on the coast and San Cruz divisions the basis of rates are slightly higher, owing to the low arbitrary loeals that are in force on those divisions. These tickets will be sold on July 3 and the morning of the 4th, and will be good for return up to and including Monday, July 8. It will be observed that we have given an extra day’s limit this year in the use of these tickets, and this, in connection with the extra- ordinary efforts being made by yourself and associates, should stimulate a large passenger movement toward San Francisco. C. Herrmann & Co. are of the opinion that the parade should march along Kearny street. E. L. Allen & Co. wrote saying they could not make an exhibition nor float in the procession, but they inclosed a check for $10 to helgvthe good cause along. The Risdon Iron Works also forwarded $50 for the same purpose. The following letter from the Bunker Hill Association is self-explanatory: I am instructed by the Bunker Hill Associa- tion to thank you for placing in your order of exercises the “Sword of Bunker Hill,” thus giving great character to the 17th of June, I am also instructed to invite your honorable committee to attend the celebration at Glen- wood on the 17th of June, recognizing the glorious stand your committee have taken in making the glorious Fourth what it should be. The Native Sons of the Golden West will have two floats in the paradc. One will illustrate “The Days of 49" and the other “Eureka.” A scene in the Grand Army division will be Sheridan’s ‘‘bummers” and ‘“contrabands.” The public school children will be u_fimminent feature of the day. The boys will march in the parade and the girls will ride in twenty wagons drawn by six horses, furnished by 8. C. Hammond. The James Isick School will h"'et a float with the.statue of James Lick on it. An attempt is being made to have the Chinese join in the parade and carry their tzng dragon. It is now in Marysville, and Consul King Owyang has been asked to use his influence to have it here by the Fourth. Everything looks promising” for the cele- bration, and the committee confidently ex- pects it will be the greatest success ever seen in San Franci AFTER THIRTY YEARS. Father Richard Le Moiny Returns to France After Long Service in Tahiti. Among the passengers on the Tropic Bird, which arrived yesterday, was a fatherly-looking man, with keen but kindly gray eyes, whose dress showed him to be a Catholic priest. It was Rev. Richard Le Moiny, or “Father Richard,” as he is familiarly known. Thirty years ago, when just out of his seminary, he went to toil among the natives of Tahiti, His faithful work and self-abnegation won their devotion and enabled him to do much good. He is now returning to Francs to be once more among his own people. He said: The work in Tahiti is made dificult by the numnber of sects represented there by Christian missionaries. There are English i’rotenum and Frencn Protestants, Catholics, Adventists aud two branches of the Mormons. claim to be right and it i Tusfon should exist.> “40ral that some con In Tahiti the Protestants predominate.

The Sisters’ school is the finest in the islands and now has aboutseventy pupils. , Father Richard said he did not intend returning to Tahiti. . His ents are now dead, but his brothers and sit are still living. He stays in San Francisco till Bunday. He "will then continue his journey homeward. AT BAY DISTRICT RACES, Roma Fooled the Talent in the Mile and a Sixteenth Handicap. LED FROM START TO FINISH. Pecullar Betting in a Jumping Race That Ended In an Outslider Winning. Epperson’s ride on the 15 to 1 shot, Mero, in the steeplechase was a very clever piece of horsemanship. Starter John Merrell, plainly showing the effects of his recent illuess, attended the races for a while yesterday merely asan onlooker. John’s many friends wish him a speedy return to health. Richard Brown received a telegram from his brother, H. D. Brown, the starter, at present in Chicago, notifying him to start for Kansas City, where the latter will wield the flag at & 60-day race meeting to be held at that place. To-day is the last day the popular book- maker, George Rose, will be seen on the block for some time at the meeting. Mr. Rose leaves for the East June 15, but in his absence will leave one book in charge of one of his trusted employes. Nick Hall, who had a good bet down on Longwell who ran so poorly in the steeple- chase, felt very much disgusted with the ani- mal at the conclusion of the race, so leading him down to the lower gate he removed bridle and blanket, told the horse to hunt other dig- gings. Daggie Smith happened along and picked the outeast up and he is now a member of the Oakland stable. Nick says he wishes him all sorts of luck. The betting was so cranky op the jumping race that the judges finally thought it best to find out the cause of it. Upon investigation they found that W. Clancy, who had the mount on Guadaloupe, had been. imbibing too freely of some liquor other than cider. The jockey persisted that he was in a fit condition to ride, but the judges could not be made to see it in that light, not only refusing to let him ride but also placing the ban of suspension over him. Cold, foggy and anything but an ideal racingday, a thin gathering of horse-lovers assembled at the track yesterday to do battle with fickle Dame Fortune. The rac- ing, although a little mixed at times, was, taken as a whole, very good. Three out of five favorites won, and that portion of the assembled crowd known in turf parlance as the “talent fared well. The mile and a sixteenth handicap was, of course, the feature of the card, and the odds showed plainly that speculators were at sea as to the winner. When the horses were called McLight had a slight call in the ring with fours about him, while Little Cripple was but a shade higher, backed down from 6 to 44 to 1. Roma, Prix, Flirtilla and Malo Diablo were all at sixes. It proved one of the Elmwood stock farm’s surprise days, for when the flag fell Chevalier took the lead with Roma and she led the field a merry chase, galloping in front from start to finish, finally passing the wire a length in front in1:483{. Ina hard drive C. Weber landed Little Cripple in the place, a neck in front of McLight with Sloan up, The winner has proven such an uncertain quantity that she was but lightly backed. After opening a 3 to 2 favorite for the opening race, a seven-furlong run for horses that have not won a race this year, Jerome 8 went back in the betting to 2 to 1, but finally backed to 8 to 5 at post time. Edna M, whose price came down from 4 to 13 to 5, was the one expected to extinguish the favorite’s light, but he won rather hand- ily at the end, a length ahead of St. Elmo, wiu had made all the running. Halifax was a fair third. : The 2 to 1 favorite, Miss Garvin, led all the wayin the second race,afive and a half furlong dash, winning about all out a length and a half infront of My Sweet- heart, away from the post poorly. Du- rango was an ordinary third. The third race, at the same distance as the race meceiin%' proved a puzzler to the talent, Venus finally closing favorite at 11 to 5. Gracie S was a heavily backed sec- ond choice with 5 to 2 ‘against her. Sport McAllister originally opened in the betting a 3 to 1chance, but around post time 13 to 1 was laid against him. To a good start Gracie S went to the front the first furlong, and, leading all the way, she looked a “moral” a furlong from home. Charley Weber got a bit gay at this stage of the game, and Chevalier, stealing up on him with Venus, beat him out nearly two lengths cleverly. Han- ford, a 12 to 1 chance, finished an indiffer- ent third. There were some strange fluctuations in the betting on the last event, a race for the timber-toppezs. - When the opening odds were quoted Guadaloupe was an 8 to 5 choice, with North at fours. Then the North money came in and he was made a 7to 5 favorite, Guadalo‘épe going back to 9to5. At this point Cairns was substi- tuted for Clancy on Guadaloupe and he once more ruled favorite as the rorses went to the gost. North and Guadaloupe alternated in the lead all the way, the latter finally entering the stretch in front looking all over a win- ner. After taking the last jump Epperson on Mero, a 15 to 1 shot, came with a_rush, and passing both Guadaloupe and North, won the race by a length and a half, Guadaloupe second, about three parts of a length ahead of North.

Chinatown Squad Is Changed, Ser- geant Shea Relieving Ser- geant Cooke. Three policemen appeared before the Police Commissioners last night to ane swer to charges preferred against them. Considerable time was occupied in hear- ing the case of Policemen C. C. Wells, de- tailed to assist the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Children, who was charged with making an unwarranted ar- rest. A week ago Wells. at the request of H. S. Smith, arrested his divorced wife, Mrs. Ellen Smith, and her sister, Mrs. Cathar- ine Filgate, in the former’s house, 14 Web- ster street, and took them in the patrol wagon to the City Prison, where he charged Mrs. Smith with being drunk and disturbing the peace and Mrs. Filgate with disturbing the peace. Mrs. Filgate gave cash bail for her appearance in court, and Captain Douglass, on conversing with Mrs. Smith, immedintely released her on her own recognizance, being satisfied that she was not drunk. The following morn- ing, when the cases were called in Judge Campbell’s court, they were dismissed. | A large number of witnesses were exs | amined, and the board, after discussing the evidence, fined Wells $100 and ordered him to report to Captain Douglass for regular patrol duty. F Special Officer Johnston, who was with Wells when he made the arrestsand ap- peared as a witness for him, had his ap- Kointmem revoked and his star taken from im. Policeman Geor%e Eastman was fined $20 for neglect of duty, and a charge against Policeman P. J. Parrell, preferred by Setgeant Monaghan of being off hig beat while on duty, was dismissed. The Chinatown squad has been changed. Yesterday Sergeant Patrick Shea relieved Bergeant Jesse B. Cook with the followin; squad: Daniel Owens, T. W. Handley, J, F. Burke and P. Tracy. e ———————————————————————— LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENOC e e Arrived. WEDNESDAY, June 12. Stmr Colon, Mackinnon, 28 days from Pana; and way poris: pass and mdse, to P M 8 8 Co.
