PACIFIC GROVE, CaL., July 16.—The [. U. Summer School of Methods convened at Pacific Grove this morning. The classes are large, with a good repre- sentation from every section of the State. Mrs. C. Kyle of Watsonville opened the morning meeting with a talk on “The Sa- loon and the Sabbath.” The Sabbath roll- call of nations was next discussed by Mrs. C. Armstrong of Salinas. Mrs. A. B. Gove gave a paper on ““Prison Work,” showing thata great proportion of prisonerscom- mitted their crimes while under the influ- ence of liquor. Miss Mary Barbour ren- dered an excellent address on ‘‘Our Work of To-day.” The morning session closed with a Bible reading by Mrs. Churchill. The afternoon session opened with an address on ‘‘Country Work” by Mrs. Knowles of San Joaquin. Mrs. N, Eyster, superintendent of juvenile work, exempli- fied her work before the union. She urged that there should be a half day each week devoted to Loyal Legion work. This address was followed by a general discussion. Miss Helen McLean presented the claims TALKED ON Summer of the Demorest contests. She told of the sudden death of Mr. Demorest, but said it would not affect the continuation of the contests, as the family would carry on the work. The State president addressed a crowded bhouse this evening. She reviewed the work of the year and the results of reform- nfluences, dwellingat length upon the nof legislaturesand the attitude of vernment, and deplored that men fer to shout with saints will vote with sinners. She called particular at- on to the pending amendment for the enfranchisement of women as the one ob- ject to be gained during the coming year. The session was closed by a talk on the franchise of women. CHILEN VALLEYACCIDENT Rancher De Martin Run Over by a Hayrake and Terri- bly Lacerated. Work on Petaluma’s Fire Alarm System Begun—Hunters Kill Two Deer. PETALUMA, CAL., July 16.—A. de Mar- tin, a Chileno Valley rancher, was the victim of a probably fatal harvesting acci- dent yesterday. He was riding on a hay- " rake, when his horse became unmanage- able and ran away, throwing him in front of the rake. The tines passed over him, tearing his scalp fearfully, gashing his neck and back and breaking one of his ribs. When picked up the man was bleeding profusely from his numerous wounds and suffering greatly. He was brought to the ‘Washington Hotel in this city, where heis now lying in a precarious condition. Bale of an Orchard. PETALUMA, Car., July 16.—Movements in real estate are picking up in Petaluma. Yesterday the old Captain Hunter prop- erty, consisting of fourteen acres of orchard and berries, was sold to C. A. Jacobsen, who will erect a handsome residence upon it. Mr. Jacobsen disposed of his old resi- dence to J. A. Wright. New Fire Alarm System. PETALUMA, CaL., July 16.—Agent R. A. Rose of the Gamewell Fire Alarm Com- pany arrived in Petaluma to-day, and immediately started a force of men at work laying wires and erecting poles for the fire alarm system recently contracted for by the City Trustees. RAID ON A BOARDING-HOUSE. Officers Capture Eight Men Supposed to Be Counterfeiters. DES MOINES, Iowa, July 16.—Federal officers from Keokuk came here and quietly raided a boarding-house kept by Mrs. F. E. Frazier, and arrested eight men, who are understood to be old criminals. The offi- | | | do with the local police, and as soon as they had their men went back to Keokuk. The raid is very sensational, and it 1s be- lieved the capture is important. The men are said to be an old gang that has opera- ted in the southern part of the State. It is also believed that they have done counter- feiting and passed bad money. BEGLRT, MAY BE ELECTROCUTED. A Woman Found Guilty of a Murder in New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 16.—The trial of Maria Baerberi in the Court of General Sessions, before Recorder Goff, for the murder of her lover, Deminico Cataido, was concluded to-night, the jury bringing in a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. The prisoner was remanded until Thursday for sentence. She is the first woman in the State con- demned to death since the passage of the law making electrocution the penaity. As the case now stands, Maria is adjudged by the judge a subject for the electric chair. The sentence of the court, of course, has not yet been pronounced, but there is but one sentence for murder in the first de- gree. Few believe, however, that Maria will sit in the death chair. The case, it was reported to-night, would be taken to the Court of Appeals, and if that court did not order a new trial the Governor would be appealed to to commute the death sentence to imprisonment for life. B - T CRAZED BY A DIVURCE SUIT. Peter Haser Stabs His Wife and Then Commits Suicide. CHICAGO, IrL., July 16.—Peter Haser this morning made a determined attempt to kill his wife, and then committed sui- cide. Haser was the senior member of the firm of Haser & Grahams, owners of alarge planing-mill. The firm is a wealthy one and does a big business. Haser and his wife had not Fived happily together for some time. Finally Mrs. Haser decided to apply for a divorce, This morning Haser heard of herintention. He became almost frantic. He attacked his wife with a knife, cutting her so badly that she may die. Then, evidently belleving that he had fatally wounded her, Haser drew the knife across his own throat and died almost in- stantly. The doctors, after working over i\[rs.fHaser, aecided that she had a chance or life. WIKS A BRIE BY WAL Romantic Courtship and Mar- rlage of Professor Emile Ginnsz. Pleased With a Woman’s Likeness, He Presses His Suit by Means of Correspondence. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 16.—When the French steamer La Normandie from Havre was made fast to the pier Sun- day afternoon Professor Emile Ginnsz of Columbus went aboard and began a search for the woman to whom he was engaged to be married. He had never seen her, but he had her picture in his pocket and | that saved him from the embarrassment of taking aside the stewards and whisper- ing to them: *‘Say, my friend, will you kindly tell me which one of these young ladies is my sweetheart?” His eyes pres- ently rested upon a modest little brunette with black eyes. She had sighted ‘him first, and was looking at him bashfully and with many blushes. He sprang forward. She uttered the conventional “Emile” and he exclaimed ‘‘Marie.”” After they identi- fied themselves to each other’s satisfaction they started for St. Patrick’s Cathedral to be married. The bride was Miss Marie Schultheiss of Alsace, Germany. The professor was born in Alsace, but left there geiore Marie could talk. When Alsace was occupied by the Prussians he went to Paris and did his best in the trenches to keep them out of the French capital. He studied music at a con- servatory, and when he was proficient he came to this country and settled in Indianapolis as a teacher. His sister still stayed in the little Alsatian town, where she became g:incipal in what in this coun- try would the normal school. Her brightest, ggeltiest and most proficient pupil was Marie Schultheiss, daughter of the editor of the local paper. The sister wrote to Emile in glowing terms of her young charge, telling him that | if he ever wanted a wife he must come and wed the girl. A photograph of Marie served further to stimulate the interest of the | music teacher, and he sent his picture to his sister to show to the girl. Mr. Ginnsz after a while began to write to Marie. He told her that he already loved her from seeing her likeness and from hearing of her many charms and virtues. She consented to be his wife, provided he would come over and see her, and provided always that they did not both change their minds on meeting. When things reached this point the mu- sician had becowe organist of the cathe- dral at Columbus, and he found that he could not get leave of absence for a wed- ding expedition. He wrote to Marie and begged her to come to him. He would meet her on the steamship pier and they would take a cab to the cathedral in New York, and be merried within an hour of herlanding; and so it happened that the Eroiesuor to-day awaited the coming of a ride he had never met. He had made all arrangements for the ceremony. Hearrived in New Yorkon Friday, and went to the St. Denis Hotel. Most of the time after his arrival was spent at the office of the French steamship line. He kept the clerks busy on Saturday tell- ing him that La Normandie had not been sighted off Fire Island. Bright and early yesterday morning he was on the pier waiting her arrival. After they had met the bride suggested that her costume was not a bridal one, and they had better wait until she could get from her trunk a white dress such as brides wear in Alsace. ' 80 he escorted her to the Hotel Griffon, 21 West Ninth street, where she registered. She went to her room and prepared to array herself, while he smoked cigars in the cafe. They were married at 5 o’clock P. M. e Not Warring Against Conductors. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 16.—Penn- sylvania Railroad officials deny the truth of a dispatch from Indianapolis that the company is making a systematic warfare against the members of the Order of Rail- way Conductors. ——— Damage Done by Hail. HARTFORD, Coxw., July 16.~Fuller accounts of the damage done by the hail- storm of Saturday afternoon shows that in Glastonbury alone 300 acres of tobacco are ruined. The greatest damage was done in that vicinity. —_— THE OITY HALL ANGEL. Her Formula Finally Accepted by the Commissioners. The question of how and in what manner the City Hall statue shall be constructed was finally decided by the City Hall Com- missioners yesterday, when Messrs. Brod- erick and Creswell decided that the white metal, which has been discussed by the Commissioners for some weeks past, was the proper thing for the statue. Mayor Sutro left the meeting after a short discussion of the merits of the vari- ous compositions, and the remaining Com- missioners took the matter in their own hands and decided the matter once for all. ‘The composition as accepted consists of 10 per cent of copper, 20 per cent of tin and 70 per cent of zinc. he tensile strength of the composition accepted is figured at 14,040 pounds per uare inch, which is supposed to be suffi- cient to withstand any strain put on the statie by the wind or other climatic con- «<ers who made the arrests had nothing to | ditions, THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, First Choices Meet With Their Usual Misfortune, but Two Winning. BOREAS A RARE GOOD ONE. The Brown Colt Showed Distance Sulted Him by Galloping a Mile in 1:41. The number of bookmakers was swelled to nine by yesterday’s drawing. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the flag had not yet fallen on the second race. Chevalier rode four pronounced favorites yesterday and only succeeded in getting the money with one. Hisride on Realization did not suit the critics. Jockey J. Sullivan leaves to-night for Ogden, Utah, where he will enter they employ of Thomas Keough, the wealtky horseman of that city. Deadhead, & 100 to1 shot,in the opening race, ran away with his rider, Riley. His show- ing of speed did not indicate him to be a very dangerous quality in the race. Duke Stevens on his last run looked to have a very rosy chance in the tourth race, but Starter Ferguson’s supply of patience must have become exhausted by that time, for he gave the Duke a very poor send-off. He showed & world of speed in the race, but could not make up the lost ground. Jockeys’ valets at the track are now com- pelled to wear a cap, bearing a black band stamped with gold letters, “Jockey’s Valet.” They were the cause of much sport down in the paddock, and were adopted with a view of preventing the valets from entering the bet- ting ring, against which there is a prohibitory rule. George Rose’s brown colt Boreas bids fair to become a stake horse, for as he de- monstrated yesterday he is rapidly out- rowing the selling platers’ class. Starting ?avorite in the last race of the day, a mile dash, he ran over the top of his field in the stretch and finished the mile in 1:41, with such ease in the face of a strong breeze as to demonstrate his early graduation from selling races, for they will’ get to be risky experiments with a horse of his caliber. Commission, who opened a 7 to 5 chance, but went back in the books to 2 to 1, fin- ished second to the brown fellow. Ouly a fair crowd attended the races yesterday, the light fields, poor betting and cheap quality of horses that have been starting of late no doubt having much to do with this depression of racing in gen- eral. The favorites were bowled over with the accustomed regularity, but two of them scoring, and Btarter Ferguson helped weary the crowd with his rather ragged work with the flag. The delaysat the post in the first two races were very tedious, thirty minutes or more being consumed in each. Of the nine starters in the opening event at five furlongs, Arno seemed to survive the racket at the post the best, and getting awaa' in front when the flag fell was never headed, winning by two lengths from Mount Carlos, the 3" to 2 favorite, Johuny Capron running in place. The winner went to the post 43¢ to 1. Notwithstanding C. Weber's rough usage of him at the post in the next race, the half-mile dash for maiden two-year- olds, the 11 to 5 choice Don Pedro stood the gaff gamely, and getting away second at the start went to the front and was never headed, although swerving badly in the stretch. He finished first, four lengths in front of Prince Hooker, with Moilie Bawn a poor third. Realization, who has not been out for some time, opened up a 7 to 5 favorite for the five-and-a-half-furlong spin that was fourth on the card, but receded in.the bet- ting to 2)4 to 1, the heaviest play being on Silver State and Ricardo. The knowing ones were badly scorched on the race, for young McIntyre assumed the lead with Major Cook carrylng but eighty-nine pounds almost from the jump, and he led the field a merr¥ chase to the wire, winning by two lengths from Silver State in 1:07%4. Chevalier got away first with the favorite, but took him back, and was unable to get to the front again, finishing third. Mulberry was a lukewarm choice for the fourth race, a six-furlong run, opening at even money and closing at 13 to 10. Cheva- lier got him away from the post poorly and was not able to get him near the front. Riding a nicely judged race on Royal Flush, who was backed from 6 to 4 to 1, Piggott had his field beaten a furlong from home, winning handily from Road Runner at 12 to 1in the betting. The latter ran an excellent race, beating Charmion out half a length for the place. MULHOLLAND. BUMMARY.

Monteith yesterday that Tom Roberts, his brother, M. A. Roberts, and one Forrest, all members of the Oakland lodge of the American Railway Union, have stated that he was endeavoring to un- justly collect $1800 from the Oakland union ;or services rendered in the trial of the railroad strikers, Mayne and Cassidy, be- fore Judge Morrow in the United States District éourt during the early months of the year. Mr. Monteith expressed himself as being both surprised and greatly an- noyed over their conduct. Speaking of the matter he said: The statement that I charged the Oakland unfon $1800 for my services in the railroad strikers' case is false. My charges for the whole_trial, which lasted twenty-one weeks, were $2600,and of that amount I haye received $800. My services were charged to the Ameri- can Railway Union as a whole—i. e., the local unions in this district, including Dunsmuir, Red Bluff. Sacramento, Vallejo, Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose. Some time ago & committee called on me to effect a settlement of the $1800 balance, and informed me they could raise no funds, but were willing to furnish me with labor to re- model my residence. I teld the boys to do the best they could and I would not bother them, and accepted their proposition. Later &e secretary of the Oakland union asked for a copy of the statement that I had given the committee, and I sent it to him. It showed a balance due of $1800. I made no re- uest for payment at the time, simply because ‘l‘thought it unnecessary, a8 I had the fullest confidence_that the men whose liberty had been saved would do the best they could. Indeed, saving a few of the stripe of Tom Roberts and his brother Mike, I believe they feel that way. Harry A. Knox, the well-known Ameri- can Railway Union leader, fully confirmed the statement made by Mr. Monteith, and added that the whole proceeding was simply an attempt to create trouble be- tween the American Railway Union and Monteith. RAILROAD TRXES REDUCED, The Central Pacific’s Assess- ment at Sacramento Cut in Half. The Supervisors in That Clty De- gide to Encourage the Rall- | way Shops. Tax Agent E. Black Ryan of the South- ern Pacific Company returned yesterday from Bacramento, where he had appeared before the Board of Supervisors, sitting as a board of equalization, in reference to the: application of the Central Pacific Com- pany for a rgduction of the Sacramento railroad assessment from $922,000 to $466,660. And Mr. Ryan was filled with pardonable satisfaction, as he had carried the day. The assessment was reduced to 466, 660. The Central Pacific Company’s estimate of the value of its property in Sacramento differed by almost one-half irom that of the County Assessor. Mr. Ryan stated that on information and belief the prop- erty was worth $466,660, divided as follows: In car repair-shop, brickmill, spring shog, brass foundry, locomotive paint-shop, $4550; Nndhouse, Loometive machine-shop, copper and tin shop, pipe and blacksmith shop, $47,- 650; spike and boit, new blacksmith, car and pattern shop, saw and planing mill, eabinet, plating, brass and upholstery :hfir, 817,500 car and machine shop, rolling-mill, paint and old car shop, car, pipe and trimming depart- ment, $14,700; wheel foundry, power-house, storehouse, scrap pile, electric and pumpin; plants, $38,500; transfer tables, oil and ofl- 1anks, hosecart, hose, patterns, furniture and fixture, horses, $3720; 3097 tons of coal, 280 cords of wood, $11,970; lumber, pig, scrap and new iron, $43,000; boiler iron, steel, castings, carwheels, rails, #$19,100; springs and bars rubber springs, car-axles, tires, $10- 270; nuts, bolts, spikes, fishplates and air- brake materials, $1200; brass, copper, zine, switch rail, targets, $1100; hoisting-engine, $400; wharves at cify front, $3000; buildings, shops, roundhouse and all other improvements between H, A, Sixth and River streets, $250,- 000. Total, $466,660. The majority of the Supervisors were of the opinion that it would not be a wise policy to assess industries out of existence and 1n this instance they thought that every encouragement should be given the railroad company to maintain the shops in Sacramento. They certainly would not sustain the Assessor. The entire board voted in favor of the reduction. PACIFIO GAS ASSOCIATION. ‘What Was Done at the Third Annual Meeting. The third annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Gas Association, an organization composed’ of representatives of the gas companies doing business within the ter- ritory bounded by the Pacific Ocean, Alaska, Utah and Arizona, was held in the office of the San Francisco Gaslight Company, corner of First and Natoma streets. 5 The officers of the association are: C. ‘W. Quilty of San Jose, president; John A. Britton of Oakland, secretary and treas- urer; F. H. Iechbaum, vice-president. President Quilty read hisannual address, in which he reviewed matters of interest to gas-producers. | John L. Howard, manager of the Oregon Improvement Company, read an interest- ing paper on ‘‘Welch Anthracite Coal,” K. C. Randall of S8an Jose one on “A Year's Experience With a “Wellsbach Burner,” John Clement of Red Bluff one on ‘““The Economy of Small Works,” J. Bryant Grimwood a very instructive paper on “Technical Gas Analysis” and T. R. Parker illustrated the latest wrinkles in the business. It was decided that hereafter San Fran- cisco shall be the permanet meeting place. In the evening the association sat down to a banquet at Delmonico’s, and at that time E. C. Jones manufactured and exhib- ited calcic carbide, which produces the most powerful illuminant known. This morning Mr. Jones will read a paper explanatory of the new gas. 0. M. Gregory will read one on ‘‘Treatment of Our Customers,” and H. E. Adams will read one on “Gas Producers.” The elec- tion of officers will be held, and after ad- ournment the members, by invitation of he Union Iron Works, will board the Rockaway and sail around the bay, and will land at the grounds of the l;aniflc Yacht Club, where they will lunch, the invitation having been extended by Com- modore Phil Caduc. In the evening the A::ocilfion will visit the Columbia The- ater, —— STEEL RAILS AND OURRANTS, Appeals From Dec! s by the Ap- praisers That Have Been Filed. United States District Attorney Foote has begun two suits in the United States Circuit Court looking to a reversal of de- cisions made by the Board of General Ap- praisers. One is a question of steel rails, and the Bank of California is directly in- terested in the outcome. The rails were bonded under the McKinley act and taken out of the warehouse under the Wilson tariff. Collector Wise taxed the goods under the first law and the owners ap- pealed. The Aspnism sustained {he ap- al and now Uncle Sam is going to try he courts. 4 The second suit is that in the Zante cur- rant controversy. S. L. Jones asserts that because the imported article came from the Grecian archipela and not from Zante it is not dutiable. The appraisers upheld Joaes & Co. and the matter will no‘v‘r::e settled in the United States Circuit THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. Limit of Expenditure in Sev- eral Municipal Depart- ments Fixed. MONEY FOR EXTRA POLICEMEN Estimates Made for Park Improve- ments and Public Schools Cut Down. The members of the Finance Committee of the Board of BSupervisors got their heads close together last night and agreed on. a number of things concerning the limit of next year's expenditures of the City’s money. Nearly all the members of the board were presentand expressed their views on the matters under consideration. To begin with, the Finance Committee agreed togive to the Police Department the sums asked for, providing for the ap- pointment of seventy-five additional men on the force and for horses and equipments for ten mounted men. Then they agreed to set aside a sum for the erection of a new smallpox hospital. They agreed on the appropriation for park improvement and for public school purposes, both consider- ably under the estimates furnished by the officials 1n interest. They provided for clerical salaries and they talked consider- ably on all matters. The first question arose on the Exempt Firemen’s relief fund. Somebody sug- gested that they set aside $6000 for this fund, but Clerk Russell pointed out that under the act establishing the fund the | firemen were anthorized to make demands | not in excess of $12,000. Supervisor Tay- lor thought that the firemen, one of which he 1s, would get along with less—some- thing like $9000. “I'know from the charaeter of the men who have control of the fund,” he said, “they would not draw a cent more than we put into it.”” “Don’t you think they need $12,000?” asked Supervisor Benjamin. “No,” was the rep}y; “I do not_think they do. I am satistied they won’t kick at $9000. I suppose they can get some of that 1 as soon as we make the order.” It was so agreed, and the committee went on to the consideration of Fire De- partment appropriations. The necessity of several new engin-ehouses, particularly one at Ocean Beach, was pointed out, but, as the Supervisors desired to hear Chief Sullivan, 1t was decided to postpone action on the matter till the next meeting. The police estimate for salaries in the department was glacsd at $704,448. This included pay forthe seventy-five additional men to be appointed. After very little discussion the committee agreed to it. The item, $20,000, for the erection of a smallpox hospital, brought out considera- ble discussion. Supervisor Taylor was in favor of postponing the matter until other and more important matters in the list had been considered and fixed. Supervisor Benjamin said it was a pressing necessity and should be fixed at once. The City needed a respectable retreat for those affected with infectious diseases, the one it had now being a disgrace. Supervisors Dimond and Hobbs agreed with him, and it was finally decided to put it in the list at $20,000, to be cut out should the necessity arise. Short work was made of the Board of Education’s estimate of $1,286,370 for the public school fund. The unanimous opinion of the Supervisors present was against it. . “I am not in favor of so much orna- mental education in the public schools,” said Supervisor Benjamin. ‘“Let them cut out some of the drawing and civil engineering and that sort of thing,” said Supervisor Hobbs. “I am in favor of the grammar and primary schools,” said Supervisor Wag- ner, “and I don’t believe in university educations in the public schools.” The Finance Committee lopped off $236,370, taking the Auditor's estimate for it, thus giving the Board of Education a cool million, aside from the $45,600 it gets from rents of school property in the City. The Park Commissloaers’ estimate for the park improvement fund suffered a similar unkind cut. In a communication addressed to the Finance Committee, the Commissioners set forth that they contem- plate improvements the coming year which would cost $230,000. They, there- fore, asked for $365,000. After considerable discussion it was resolved to give them $256,000, and it was so entered. The total of matters decided upon is as follows: Exempt Firemen’s relief fund, $9000. Couml;' Clerk’s deputies, $126,000. Police Department, $704,448. Tax Collecior’s f:lerlt:s, uo,%oo. Al reman, two plumbers and a ca; the hall, 33900.p e N License Collector’s clerks, $9600. Dupont-street widening assessment, 812,100. Freeholders’ election expenses, $8770. Smallpox hospital, $20, .

That Buckley is out strong for the next battle there was no doubt among those present, as all the oid line Demo- crats swung into the column at the call.

See? Say, we'll get the people who are the people rigbt with us, and Buckley is going to be on top.”" THE COLORED PIONEERS. A Lecture to Be Delivered on That Subject at Bethel Church This Evening. William H. Carter, at one time editor of the Pacific Appeal, will give a lecture at the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church on Powell street this evening on the subject of *“The Colored Pioneers.” He was born in Portsmouth, Va., and graduated from the New Bedford (Mass.) High School in 1864. * He came to Califor- nia the same year and has lived in San Francisco since that time. He was for a time steward of the Langham Hotel, and has been a waiter at the Baldwin cafe for six years. He is an intelligent colored man, and is deeply interested in the stand- ing and welfare of his race, especially such part of it as dwells in this City. Mr. Carter says there has been consider- able controversy as to who were the first representatives of the African race who came to the Pacific Coast. He has ascer- tained that Charles Eppes and Sally Cox, who came with the Panama on its first trip, were the earliest of the colored pio- neers. In his lecture he will give the history of the “‘Archie case.” Archie wasa slavejwho ran away from his master, and whose case was tried before General O. C. Platt in the Twelfth District Court. His defender was the celebrated Colonel E. D. Baker. He was acquitted and afterward went to Vic- toria, fl C. Mr. Carter says the first paper edited by a colored man and published for the colored population of the coast was the Mirror of the Times, started in 1857, and edited by L. B. Townsend. The Pacific Appeal followed in 1862 with Peter Ander- son as editor, and then came Philip A. Bell’s venture, The Elevator, in 1865. Bell was for a number of years dramatic critie ot the American Flag, at that time the only Republican paper on the coast. Mr. Carter intends to contrast the present con- dition of the negro in this City with his condition in the past, and will give a fore- cast of the future. The lecture will be given for the benefit of Bethel Church. SEARCHING FOR HER CHILD. Mrs. Elizabeth Green Sets Detectives on the Track of Her Daughter, Mrs. A. J. Morrison. Detectives were looking for Mrs. A.J. Morrison last evening. They were set upon her track by her mother, Mrs. Eliza- beth Green, who, under the belief that her daughter had beer. spirited away to an in- sane agylum, wished to have her found at ail hazards. Mrs. Morrison is the sister of Mrs. Ar- thur Rodgers, fjwho was] Mrs. Alexander Montgomery. Mrs. Green’s story is that her daughter was placed in an insane asylum near Liv- ermore on May 13 last. On Sunday, she says, she and Mrs, John Martin, who was then assisting her in her search, went to Dr. Robertson’s sanitarium at Livermore and there found Mrs. Morri- son, who begged to be taken home. Mrs. Morrison came home Monday even- ing, but, as Mrs. Green could not see her yesterday, she concluded her daughter had afiain been taken to Livermore, and hence she put Detectives Silvey and Eagan to look for her. They found herat her home, 1911 Larkin street. A. J. Morrison says Dr. Hobertson’s lace is not an insane asylum, but is a san- itarium. He says his wife is ill from_ the effects of a recent confinement, and he Ehcleg her in the institution to regain her ealth. Senegal, French Soudan, French Guinea and the Ivory Coast are to be united for olitical and military purposes under one overnor-Géneral of West Afric DEMOCRTSREGRGANEING A Meeting for That Purpose Held at Old Manhattan Club Hall. Ex-Boss Buckley’s Hand Belleved to Have Instigated the Movement. There was a meeting of Democrats at the old Manhattan Club quarters on Bush street last evening. Their purpose was to reorganize the party in this City. The understanding was that the meet- ing had been called under the auspices of ex-Boss Christopher Buckley, who was in this manner endeavoring to recover his lost power over the Democratic contingent. Mr. Buckley’s hand did not overtly ap- pear in the proceedings, but there was an undercurrent of conviction among those present that the ex-chief was among them in spirit, in the possible form of a guardian angel. The meeting last night was to be strictly “on the quiet.” P. F. Dundon presided and Sam Newman acted assecretary. Mr. Dundon arose and told those assembled whose house they were in.' ‘“But,” said he, “‘Buckley is a thing of the past. We have rented the house from him and we are here to do as we like. We owe no allegiance to Mr. Buckley, but it behooves Mme.

All hands were ordered elevated into the air which could be raised in the faith of Buckley, and it was nstonhhmfi‘ to see the unanimity with which the digits were thrust into the air. The lieutenants of the exiled boss were instructed to go through the districts and reorganize the party. The orderswere issued as of old,’'and everybody who was instructea promised to “deliver the goods” at the time prescribed. The plan of campaign as outlined was that the Buckleyites in the district meet at the Occidental Club, as the Manhattan . streaked finy. entirely gray and with BALD ADS it is especially recom- mended.
