THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1895. COLFAX MEN ACCUSED Serious Charges Against a Coroner and an Undertaker. MONEY FOR A CORPSE. Relatives of a Ukiah Man Made to Believe That He Was Dead. THEY MOURN WITHOUT CAUSE. The Body of a Stranger in a Casket Alleged to Contain John Dowling’s Remains. # June 26. — For several days people of Ukiah have been mournin the death of John Dowling, who was re- ported killed at Colfax. Now comes the intelligence that Dowling is still living, and with it the rumor of a deliberate at- tempt to extort money from his relatives by utilizing the body-of a stranger. UKIAH, Carn, June — Mrs. Ma Dowling is a widowed mother of a large family, who has resided in Ukiah seven vears. Her husband was the owner of some very valuable mi property at Moore’s Flat, Nevada Coun Not ion after moving his family to Ukiah Dowling took sick and died, and the care of the property and family has since devolved upon the widow. A grown son, John Dowling, resides at Moore’s Flat, and looks after the Dowling interests there. The family includes five daughters and two BONSs. On Sunday last the following telegram was received from the Coroner of Nevuda County UKIAH, Ca AL., June 23. on, John Dow- shall I do with MITCHELL, Coroner. To Mrs. M. ling, killed by car: bod (Signed), BER The grief-stricken mother and family knew not what to do. Immediately tele- grams were sent to the children who were away from home. Wells-Fargo's agent here was instructed to attend to the tele- graphing and other necessary arrange- ments for the embalming of the body and its shipment to Ukiah. On Monday the grief of the sorrowing relatives was made more keen upon the receipt of a telegram to the effect that the body was buried on the afternoon of June 23. This seemed like railroading the body to the grave without waiting for instrue- tions as to its disposition, and the mother was heartbroken to think that the privi- lege of taking a Jast look at her son should be denied her. Being amvly able to pay whatever expense might attend embalm- ing and shipment, she had given ins tions to have both done regardless of cost. Her daughter, whose home in San Francisco, proceeded at once to Colfax to learn the particulars and to have the body exhumed and shipped. Th ternoon, however, a telegram was received from the Coliax undertaker stating that the body was not mangled and could be taken up, but it would cost $100 and the price of a metallic coffin. Upon the arrival of Dowling’s sister at Colfax, the undertaker, one McCullough by name, reported that upon the body was found §2 ) and a ticket to Sacramento; that the money was all used up in tele- graphing, and that the sister could have her choice of paying funeral expenses or letting the county bear the expense. He said the coffin (the kind the county is usually charged $10 for) she could have for $125. The sister wanted the grave opened, and knowing that such a task would e considerable time, sat down to t the preparations of the Coroner. He was back in about fifteen minutes,a remark- ably short time, she thought, but when she went to the cemetery and saw the shallow- est of graves, the coffin-lid being open as though done with the blow of a blunt in- strument, and a hole down through the earth on the grave just sufficient to expose the face to view, it could be understood why the job did not take long: The buzzink files aimost obscured the vision, and the woman was obliged to brush them away. She wanted the grave entirely opened and the body raised to the surface, and for this paid the Coroner, but it was not done. She was not sure it was her brother, and yet a thick mass of black hair and a scar under the chin seemed to partly identify bim, together with the height and weight that she had learned elsewhere. The Coroner gave her the chance for but one hurried look, and then told her to get into the buggy and leave, saying he would attend to having the body covered. At first she refused, declaring that no human w person would open a grave us he did, and she would not allow him to close it unless she were present. There was no covering to prevent the clods and earth from striking the face of the corpse at the bottom of the shallow grave Finally, however, she left for this city to assist in preparations for the funeral. On her arrival this' morning, however, the fol- Jowing telegram was received : MooRES FLAT, June 26, 1895. To Mrs. Mary Douling, Ukiah, Cal—I am all right; false report. JOHN DOWLING. This news was received with joy; then indignation at the attempted hoax that had been played upon them followed. Dowling’s relatives have come to the conclusion that a deliberate attempt was made to secure money from them, a dead stranger being used for the purpose, and it is said they will commence immediate action for dam- ages against Coroner Mitchell and Under- taker McCullough. The report also reaches here that the unfortunate dead man was fully identified at the inquest as one John C. Morton, and that his parents, who live in Oakland, will attempt to have the derelict official and Coroner punished for hurriedly consign- ing him 1o a miserable grave and utilizing Lis body for alleged frnujulem. purposes, READY TO DISSOLVE. The House of Commons to Favor the New Ministry. LONDON, ExG., June 26.—The House of Commons was crowded at the opening of the sitting at noon to-day when Sir ‘William Harcourt annonnced that Lord Salisbury was engaged in the formation of a Ministry. Labouchere (Radical) asked Akers Douglass, chief Con- servative whip, what would be the procedure next week and when a general election would take place. Douglass re- plied that the Conservatives were most anxious to dissolve at the] eariiest possible moment. He then moved that writs be issued for a re-election of the members of the House who had accepted office in the new Ministry. The House then adjourned until Monday. Bpeaking at Ardwick to-day, Mr. Bal. four declared that the only policy of the new Government now was to dissolve Par- liament. He added that for no policy or purpose would the Unionists have accepted office. The Post in its issue to-morrow will make the statement, for which it claims to have authority, that Lord Salisbury ,will be Lord High Chancellor in the new Govern- ment, vice Lord Herschell. PARIS, Fraxce, June 26.—Marquis Duf- ferin started to England to-day to confer with Salisbury regarding the latter’s offer to him of the foreign portfolio in the new Cabinet. e AT THE RAILWAY CONGRESS.

LONDON, Ex6., June 26.—The Prince of Wales, snortly after 3 p. m., formally opened the International Railway Con- gress in the Imperial Institute, and 800 delegates were present from all parts of the world. The American delegates were grouved in a body near the front of the hall with the stars and stripes over their heads. 8ir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Commissiongr, occupied a seat near the front of the hall. Before the Prince arrived all the delegates and other persons present, including half a dozen ladies, were photographed. When the Prince entered the hall, at about 3:15 p. M., he was received with cheers, and all present rose to their feet. His Royal Highness acknowledged the greeting by bewing and smiling in all di- rections. On behali of the Queen he formally opened the congress, and in a few well-chosen words welcomed the dele- gates to England. Mr. Dubois spoke on behalf of the continental delegates and Mr. James B. Bryce for the Board of Trade. PANIC AMONG PICNICKERS, Two Thousand Children Cor- nered in the Woods Dur- ing a Storm. During the Havoc of Terrific Light- ning the Little Ones Were Pro- tected With Difficulty. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 26.—The rain fell in sheets here yesterday afternoon and was accompanied by a terrific thunaer- storm which destroyed many trees. Three thousand school children of the Ninth Ward were holding a picnic in the West Side City Park. They sought safety in the densely wooded part of the park. The greatest confusion prevailed. The light- ning began to flash and the thunder to roll. The lightning struck a tree near the shelter, when the tree toppled over. It was with the greatest difficnity the chil- dren, their teachers or their parents could be kept from leaving the shelter. Eight times in succession did the light- ning strike in the neighborhood of the shelter and eight trees were felled. All the time the panic among the picnickers was increasing and the Tain was falling in torrents. The children, after the storm cleared up, attempted to leave the park and it was found impossible. The new streets which surrounded it were filied with water four feet deep. The men had to carry the women and children from the park through water waist deep. A beer wagon was pressed into service and carried many through the flood. The streetcars could not run on the street near the park. Even on the streets downtown the water was from four to seven inches deep. The electric storm played havoc with the telegraph wires. In the Menominee valley 600 feet of roadbed of the Chicago, Milwaukee and 8t. Paul Railway was washed away and delayed railway traffic for several hours. 58 e ZELLA’S HUSEAND ARRESTED. Gould’s Nemesis Now Having Trowbie With Rulimann. NEW YORK, N. Y., June Ruhmann, the hu George olaus, was arrested this morning in Taylor's Hotel, Jersey City, charged with felo- niously secreting property taken from Zella. Under the New Jersey law a wife cannot charge her husband with theft and so Counsellor Alexander Simpson, who is Zella’s guardian and attorney in her suit in the case. Constable Robert O'Beirne searched Rubmann’s apartments and had no trouble in finding the property. It con- d of a large envelope containing al- leged valuabie papers said to relate to Ruhmann’s personal affairs, This en- velope was seized by the constable by virtue of a search warrant sworn out by Simpeon. O'Beirne also seized Ruhmann himself and took him before Justice Walsh, who paroled him for a hearing at 4 o’clock. At that hour Ruhmwann was in court with his lawyer, William H. Speer Jr., but Simpson was conspicuous by his absence. Counsellor Speer moved for the dismissal of the complaint on the ground that the warrant was defective. Justice Walsh looked in vain for some sign of Simpson, and when he found nobody to back up the complaint he discharged Ruh- mann. R IS ADMIRAL DA GAMA DEAD. The Brazilian Revolutionist Commits Suicide to Escape Capture. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 26.—The Her- ald’s cable from Buenos Ayres, Argentina, says: The Herald’s correspondent in Rio Ja- neiro, Brazil, telegraphs that the report of the death of Admiral Saldanha da Gama is confirmed there.

Her Deposition in Her Action for a Divorce From Louis F. Massen. Beveral weeks ago the action for divorce brought by Lillie Lee Massane (Marie Burroughs) from Lounis F. Massen, her husband, was referred by Judge Sander- son to a Commissioner, and when all the it appeared that the question of the resi- dence of the plaintiff had not been clearly Therefore Henry E. Highton asked that a commissioner in Boston be med to take the testimony of the plain- iff, she being at that time in that city. An order to that effect was made, and twenty-eizht interrogatories were sub-. nitted to the court and sent on. Yesterday Attorney Highton received tress, claims that San Francisco is her resi- dence; that she has none other, and for seven years past has been traveling with a theatrical company, going from place to place, but never remaining in any one place long enough to acquire a residence. She then declares that her husband, the defendant, is a native of France, is not now a citizen of the United States, never has been, has never Leen registered as a voter and never has voted in this country. She then makes answer to the interrogatory that seeks to ascertain if during her mar- ried life she has been unfaithful to her husband. She declares in the most strenn- ous manner that she never had been guilty of infidelity. She also declares that there was 1o collusion with her husband about the service of the papers. These were the material points on which the plaintiff’s counsel desired additional lggm, and the answers are satisfactory to im. “The poor girl,” said Mr. Highton, “isa good girl, and as she has been subjected to very severe criticism in this case I thought it but justice to her to secure this addi- tional testimony in order to set her right before the public, pnrticulnrlg before the people of lgis city among whom she was raised.” A WIDOW OF FAIR'S. Mrs. Lobo Declares That a Miss Mec- Kenna of Lodi Was Married to the Senator. A Miss McKenna of Lodiis the latest widow claimant in the James G. Fair es- tate. She has been brought forth by a Mrs. Lobo, who claims that she gave the de- ccased Senator $1000 for investment in wheat, and that she never received her money nor the interest on the investment. Mrs. Lobo claims that Miss McKenna was married to James G. Fair by a man representing Judge Crosby, and that after the union had geen productive of two children Mr. Fair acknowledged that the marriage was illegal. Mrs. Lobo further sets forth that the deceased’s wife was a protege of hers while she (Mrs. Lobo) was i:onguctmg a dressmaking school in Oak- and. It is also claimed by this Mrs. Lobo that she gave Fair $1000 to invest in wheat and that after promising her a return of he failed to give her back the original amount of her capital. Miss McKenna has put in no claim. Her children, if she has any, have not been brought forward save in the story told by Mrs. Lobo, and so far the trustees have been unable to discover the whereabouts of any Fair-McKenna offspring. The attorneys in the case place no cre- dence in the story and in the claims of Mrs. Lobo and rlar protege, Miss Mec- Kenna. Mrs. Lobo called on Louis Bresse, the special administrator of the Fair es- tate, yesterday, and received no_satisfac- tion. She also called on Messrs. Pierson & Mitchell. That firm refused to give her an audience, and she wended ' her way forth, determineda to set up a claim in the news- Papeu if she could not gain recognition rom the lawyers concerned in the estate. timony available had been presented, | THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Favored by the Haindicapber Heartsease Won ina Com- mon Canter. INSTALLATOR TO THE FRONT. Away First to a Ragged Start Hueneme Beat Fly and Imp. Ivy, the Favorite. C. Weber’s ride on Rose Clark, the 100 to 1 outsider in the opening race, was a fine ex- hibition of judgment. Johnny Coleman got down out of his box and backed Venus to win the second race. She never looked dangerous. Charley Quinn took a chance on Nabopo- lasser at the long price, 12 to 1, his coin cutting the odds to six as the horses went to the post. Ward rode him about the way Mc- Intyre did Tiberius, belonging in the stable— bedly. Piggott and Eddie Jones each rode two win- ners. Chevalier had an off day, the closest he came to the mouey being on Monitor, who was nosed out by Rose Clark. The horses of the Wostchester stable, belong- ing to Bookmaker Johnny Coleman, left Chicago last Saturday, and are expected here the latter part of the present week. Any one can become a plunger and gain ad- miration in the ring at the track as the game now stands on & very limited bank-roll. Just shuffle four or five twenties, start on a brisk walk toward some certaln bookmaker’s stand, and the crowd will fall over each other in an effort to see what horse yoa are backing. Halfling, who finished a miserable last in the Detroit derby, was heavily backed by par- ties.across the line to win one of the Chicago derbics, being considered by many the ‘‘dark horse” in tnose events. Veva and Marionette were both backed down several pointsin the betting on the two-vear- old event. The former, considering her dis- advantage, ran very creditably, but the Mariner filly has evidently not recovered from her severe fall. ‘With three handicaps down on the card, only a fair-sized crowd journeyed outto the track yesterday and at no stage in the betting were the ten bookmakers over- burdened with coin. The handicaps, with one exception, turned out to be very list- less and unexciting contests, two of them being won in big gallops by the victorious borses. Heartsease, winner of the two- year-old event, was especially well treated by the handicapper, being tually pre- sented with the race. Two favorites, two second choices and a 10 to 1 outsider were successful in getting the coin. As nearly every one preaicted, Heart- sease, the even-money favorite for the fivi furlong handicap ior members of the kin- | dergarten class, had bardly to raise a gal- lop to win that evenu. She laid third to Her Majesty and Veva into the stretch, when she passed them and won easily by two lengths in 1:01}5. Her Majesty, stc- ond choice, ran a splendid race, finishing second, half a length in front of Tiberius, carrying eighty-seven pounds, who made a fine run from the rear. With but four starters there was a great deal of side-stepping and switching done during the betting on the mile handicap. With 87 pounds up Garcia’s chances looked particularly bright, but McIntyre, who had the mount, made the price, and 3% to 1 was laid against him. Opening favorite at 8 to 5, Installator went back until 2}4 to 1 was laid against him around post time. The plunge in the betting was made on Mr. Jingle, whose odds were cut ina jiffy from 4 to 2 to 1, fi nally settling down at 12 to 5. Flirtilla was the outsider at fives. The winn er was never in doubt from the time the flag fell, for Installator went out in front, and running all the way under a Wrup, won under restraint, a length and a half in front of the bard-ridden Mr. Jingle. | Fiirtilla was a good third. The opening race, a short six-furlong spin with jight welter-weizhts up, was considered & good thing for the California stable Sir Modred colt, Monitor, the 6 to 5 favorite, but after leading the entire distance he was challenged the last hun- dred yards by Rose Clark, a 10 to 1 chante whom Weber had been’ reserving for a final rush, and beaten out a nose at the wire. Miss Garvin was a close third. The old sprinter Melanie opened an § to 5 choice for rhe second event on the card, a five and a half furlong run, but the money which appeared to be pooled H uickfy cut her price to even money. venus, Gracie S and Blue Bell all receded in the betting. Away poorly, Melanie ran up into the third position at the first turn, when she was cut off und compelled to fall back. She came on again in the stretch, and, assi:]{ her field, won handily by a length rom Blue Bell in the fast time ‘of 1:07)4. Rieo came like a rocket at the end, on the ml:tside. and was beaten but a neck for the ace. pThe five and a half furlong handicap, fourth on the card, furnished but four starters. The Australian mare lvy opened favorite at 8 to 5, a decidedly heavy play cutting her price to 4 to 5, although plenty of even money was laid laterin the betting. The wise contingent were all down on Hueneme, the second choice, with twos about him. Fly, it was figured, was in to kill Ivy off, so 6 to 1 was laid against the fast_gelding, while 15 to 1 was offered against the other starter, Ricardo. ‘With this small field to contend with there was a most tediouns delay at the post, fifteen minutes being consumed before Ferguson dropped his flag, and then to a very rank start—Hueneme off in front, the favorite last. As usual, Fly quickly went to the front, leading until something like a furlong from home, when Hueneme collared and passed him, winning by a leneth, Fly the same distance in front of Ivy.

Anglers Are Sending Very Encour- aging Reports from Moun- tain Lakes. The proposed team shoot between the Country and Tamalpais Gun clubs, which was to have taken place on Saturday next, has been postponed until September, as the best shots of the last-named clubareat present enjoving vacations in the count There will, however, be open shooting matches on Saturday and Sunday at the Oakland track at art 1 birds, for which many good prizes have been offered. It will be lawful to shoot doves on Mon- day next in any county of the State, and, as the birds are reported to be quite plenti- fui this year in many places near at hand, first-c ound to result—that is, ays are founa. The season for shooting deer will not open until July 15, but reports of the kill- ig of deer by campers have been very common during the present month, yet no arrests have been made by either the country or City officials. Achille Roos has offered to back Fred Butler of the Tamalpias Gun Club against Al Cumming of the Byron Gun Club ina Oakland track in the latter part of the sea- | son. The conditions of the match as jagreed upon state that Butler must giv Cumming a handicap of fifteen birds, or in other words, Butler to win must kill with- in bounds sixty birds before Cumming bas grassed forty-five birds. The considera- tion is said to be $2 100 a side. Alfred Langerman returned from his vacation in Yellowstone Park last Monday, and be speaks in glowing terms of the grand sport that awaits lovers of the rod and gun in that gre game preserve. Of | the trout Mr. Langerman | had the sport of kings, and that t | fishes he has ever had the good fortt hooking where Loch Leven trout, of which | variety the rivers of the Yellowstone are now well supplied. J. R. Moore, a New York sportsman, who is at present enjoying good fishing on the McCloud River, writes to a friend that the rainbow trout are a very game fish and | make a more stubborn resistance than any of tke Eastern trout which, he has creeled | during his angling experience. Having caught a number of salmon in Canadian and Irish rivers on artificial salmon flies, Mr. Moore tried some of the tlies he had carefully placed away in his flybook over six years ago, and was re- warded by the capture of some of the large steelheads that remained in the deep pools of the McCloud River., Among the prized ies which he expected (o ship to this City was a larze salmon, which, after a | hard tight of almost three-quarters of an | hour, gaiped its freedom by the smashing of a leuder. Mr. Moore «nd a party of friends will leave this City next month for the famous Williamson River, where trout of five pounds weight are numerous. Jack Sammi, the secretary of the San neisco Rod and Gun Club, is at present enjoying the pleasures and scenery of the famous Independence Lake in Nevada County. An idea of the sport that is now being enjoyed on this lake may be taken from a few lines of a letter received yesterday by a friend of Sammi: They read: 1 fished three hours this morning and landed t he has seventy-three trout, Varying irom a quarter to two pounds in weight, and my best fuccess was on a small spoon presenied to me by “Doc” Watt. The fish have just begun to take a fly, and I expect to have some good whip- ing for cutthroats in a few days. The weather s delightful and the climate superb. Judge Hunt is domiciled at Webber Lake, and writes that he ig having good sport. Fred Noyes and wife are having sport galore catching trout in Lake inde- pendence. Joe Shain telegraphed yesterday from Boca that the trout of the Truckee River have commenced to feed on the top, and that he landed eighteen good-sized fish on Tuesday. A. M. Sutton is spooning in In- dependence Lake. The San Andreas Lake will be opened to anglers on Monday, July 4. STATE AMMUNITION, Sharpshooters Say They Will Not Go to Sacramento if They Have to Use It. The sharpshooters are still agitating the question of State ammunition as supplied to the members of the National Guard. They assert that the shells are a lot of condemned stuff that was sent out here from the East and palmed off on the State authorities by some one who had a pull. In order to give the powder a thorough test Harry R. Brown, Al Ehrenpfort, E. J. Dellwig and F. C. Muller went out to Har- bor View and tried the State's shells flled in 1891 and also those filled in 1893. The former were found to be worthless, while with the latter Brown made 19 out of a possible 25 and then quit because the recoil was so hard that it hurt his shoulder. Dellwig made 32, Ehrenpfort 42 and Muller 40 out of a possible 50. They then reloaded the same shells to the Government standard—70 grains of powderand a 500-grain bullet—and Ehren- B{or: made 46, Muller 47, Brown 47 and ellwig 44 out of a possible 50. Afterward the men fired five shots each with their own shells, and Muller made 24 and Elxrgnrfort and Brown 23 each out of a possible 25, S The men say they will not go to Sacra- mento if they are compelled to use State ammunition. e CHD G OOLONEL BARRY'S SUCCESSOR.

VARIOUS COMMITTEES ITEET. Work of Providing Refreshments for the Fourth Is Moving Along Smogcthly. Work on the grand Fourth of July arch on Market street was commenced early vesterday morning. The workmen em- ployed did not waste any time, for when night came the framework wasin posi- tion, The contractors expect to finish the work by Saturday night. Funds to meet the expenses are not com- ing in as generously as the committee de- sires, though the collections are by no means discouraging. Something like $200 a day is being received in small amounts, and this average will be materially in- creased when several large donations, al- ready pledged, have been sent in. The invitation and reception committee met yesterday: Mme. Sorbier reported that 1500 streetcar fares had been donated by the Market-street Railroad Company for the use of orphans and kindergarten children. At least 1068 more fares are needed for children omitted in the original estimate, including thirty-five orphans, with four attendants, from the Fruitvale Cooper, chairman of the committee, was unable to attend the meeting, but sent an encouraging letter reporting progress. She stated that the probiem of feeding 5000 children at the park was readily solved. The entertainment committee met, and Mrs. Buckingham stated to the committee that she would like to have all the flowers t in Wednesday for the various hos- pitals for which they are intended. So far 30 gallons of milk, 4420 sandwiches, 6 roasts, 20 dozen cookies, one ham, 215 pounds of candy, 5 rolls ot butter and 5000 paper bags have been promised. ¥ The Ancient Order of Hibernians as a v will not join in the parade, though of its members will be with the es which have already signified their intention of joining in the festivities. In a letter to Grand Murshal Forster, Secre- tary McCafferty says: It is within the bonds to say that three- fourths of the A. O. H. will be in the porade in the different societies that have accepted your invitation. That the communication did not reach you Sooner, was for the reason that the county board waited until each of the divisions could be heard from on the matter. The board desires me to say that it hopes the celebration will be signally successitil as you esire, and although the order is not par- pating as an order, still, as individuals, the members are doing a fair share toward that end. MIOONLIGHT TO THE OCEA, Success of the Plan to Keep an Evening Drive Open All the Year. A Nucleus Fund Subscribed—Offl- cers Elected—Detalls to Be Settled. A meeting took place yesterday at the Cliff House which will interest a large number of horsemen. cyclists and others. By it an assurance of perpetual moonlight through the park to the ocean was se- cured. Thirty citizens interested in the project assembled and elected the following offi- cers: John Wilkins, president; R. D. Hagerty, vice-president, and Henry Dos cher, secretary and treasurer. The sum of $450 as a nucleus fund was promptly sub- scribed, and it was agreed to circulate the following forms of agreement among the cyclingand livery headquarters thronghout the City 1 hereby agree to contribute each month for the period of one year from the date hereof the sum put against my name for_the purpose of furnishing and maintaining electric lights on the main road of the Golden Gate Park of San Franciseo to the ocean beach, the said electric lignts to be furnished and maintained aceord- ing to the terms of an agreement entered into by the Board of Park Commissioners of San Francisco and Henry Doscher and others. A large number of citizens have ex- pressed warm interest in the project. Among others Mayor Sutro has declared himself so much in favor of the idea that he has stated he will contribute liberally. It is expected that only about thirty lights will be required, and the electric light company will undertake the installation and only expect a monthly sum for main- tenance. This morning at 10 o’clock a meeting will be held at Park Commissioner Rosen- feld’s office to arrange the minor details. The Commissioners will decide upon the exact number of lights and lay out the route. The promoters of the enterprise are ju- bilant over their success. They are now only desirous of cautioning the public against paying out any money for its de- velopment except on })roduction of a proper order from one of the duly consti- tuted officers mentioned in the foregoing.
