THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUS ‘18, 1895. PACIFIC COAST NEWS Woman Led to the Portland Duel. DEMANDED AN APOLOGY. Mrs. Dr. Chambers Had Urged Ausplund to Conipel a Retraction. STRIFE - IN - THE HOSPITAL. Enraged at Hls Dismissal, Holmes Had Attacked the Entire Management. PORTLAND, Ozr., Aug. 17.—An attack on the fair name of a woman-was the pri- mary ‘cause of yesterday’s duel between Drs. Holmes and which : Ansplund 2 hovering between and death. The re- moval of Holmes from a position in the Portland hospital was followed by accusa- tions against its mrnagement, and Mrs. Dr.: Chambers came in. for a full share of abuse. It was she who. urged Ausplund to demand a retraction. Ausplund wént from Dr. Chambers’ office to .that of Holmes, and twenty -seconds after he entered the shooting had commenced. A yearago Superintendent Johnson -of Portiand Hospital urged the appointment of Dr. Holmes to the chair of gynecology, revresenting him to bea very able man. Several members of ‘the board objected . to theappointment because of Holmes’ known appetite for drink. It was stated in his de- fense that he had abandoned that habit months before and for -all time fo come,’ because he realized that it was.injuring his professional prospects. Holmes was ap- pointed to the chair, and for four months conducted himself in an upright manner; then he relapsed into his old ways. This faet was reported to the executive board, following which charges were preferred against Holmes accusing him of drunken- ness, profanity, neglect of patients, ete. An investigation into the accusations was made, and to most of them Holmes con- fessed to being guilty. The executive board subsequently called for his resigna- tion, which was sent in and accepted with but one dissenting vote on the 8th of August. After that, it is said, Holmes tried to re- venge himse!f upon Superintendent Johr- son, and attacked the { name of the hospital. In this con v it is said Holmes slandered Mrs. Dr. Chambers, the house physician, and a friend of Dr. Ausp- lund. He accused Superintendent John- son of being on undue terms with Dr. Chambers. Holmes felt his removal keenly and be- came very irritable. Before meeting Ausplund yesterday he had a talk with Director Wood, saying he would prefer charges against the hospital management, Subsequently Holmes remarke “This is the first gun. Now you may take warning. Iintend to crush Portland Hospital.” “Doctor, you have tendered your resig- nation and it was accepted. Now your work is done.” “I shall ruin the hospital,’”” Holmes is said to have exclaimed with more vehem- ence than before. “No man with a vindictive spirit can succeed in & matter of this kind,” mildly replied Wood. ‘‘Acts prompted by malice will barm you. I advise you to do nothing rash.” “I want you to understand that Idon’t allow any man to give me advice,” was Holmes’ retort. Holmes acted so frantically that Wood walked away without saying another word. Just then Dr. Ausplund walked up to Holmes, and the duel was the result. The direct cause of the duel was three separate retractions drawn by Ausplund for Holmes' signature. The most verbose of the papers, now in the hands of the Dis- trict Attorney, treats solely of Mrs. Dr. Chambers; her charms as a woman, her learning as a physician, and the base falsity of the statements made by Holmes concerning her. The: second retraction concerns the attack made on the hospital management, while the third relates:to Ausplund and the insults he had received from Holmes. It is alleged .the retractions were sub- mitted by Ausplund to Mrs. Dr. Chambers and by her fully approved, the woman adding flame to the man’s rage by com- mendations of his errand and: appealing to Ausplund’s weakest point by lauding his valor. BONDSMEN IN TROUBLE. Unable to Produce Smuggler Dunbar’s Body in Couwrt. PORTLAND, Oge.,‘Aug. 17.—Civil ac- tion has been instituted by United States District Attorney Murphy agains: three bondsmen for William Dunbar, charged with Chinese certificate frauds, for the re- covery of the sum of $6000, which has been declared by the court forfeited. The bond was given at the time the appeal was taken to the Supreme Court of the United Btates and fora stay of execution. Dun- bar was in jail at the time, and the pur- pose was to get him released while under sentence of the court. Aiter the Supieme Court had affirmed the decision of the lower court bondsmen were.required to produce the body of Mr. |. Dunbar in court. Meantime Dunbar had gone to China and left his bonasmen in the lurch. . Papers in the suit were filed this afternoon. Dunbar left for China early this year, ostensibly on business, promising an early return, but he will never come back. Up to two years ago he was a big commission merchant engaged in the China trade and owner of the steamer Haytien Republic, which was, some time ago, seized and sold by the Government for smuggling opium and Chinamen.

In 1893 Dunbar, Blum, Collector of the Port James Lotan and a dozen more were indicted a number of times by the United States Grand Jury and found guilty of carrying on .illicit traffic. DBlum was witness for the Government. Dunbar was indicted six times. With prison life staring him in the face he decamped. His bonds are believed to be worthless. FEastland Libel Suit. MILL VALLEY, CaL, Aug. 17.— Wheeler Martin, postmaster of Eastland postoffice,will soon bring an action against Charles Burrey and Edw.-d Lenhart, pub- lishers of the Marin County Herald, for criminal libel.

CLOSE RACES AT NAPA Fast Time Made in the Last| Day’s Events at the Driv- ing: Park. Without Much Urging Dlablo Paced a Mile In -2:10 Flat. NAPA, CaL.,, Aug. 17.—This was the last day of the races at Agricultural Park, and as on preceding five- days the grand stand was filled, and the fences lined with lovers of the sport. Never has Napa had such a successful race meet as the ome just epded. - The weather has been perfect and the track in excellent form, and every day of the week at least 3000 people have at- tended the races, ¢ Diablo, the speedy pacer owned by Wil- liam Murray, paced a trial mile this after- noon in 2:10 flat. This was done without a rupning mate or much urging. Itisto be regretted that no race could be arranged for Diablo, but he was.too speedy for any- thing at the track. An attempt is being made to raise a $1000 purse: fora special race between Diablo and others, to take place at Petaluma next week, A special train left Napa to-night at 8 o'clock “for San Francisco, carrying most of the visitors; and another special will leave at mnoon to-morrow for Petaluma to take the racers and . horsemen who are to compete in next week’s races. Hon. H. M. La Rue has been asked to act as starter and judge at the Petaluma races next week, but on account of press- ing business he will probably be unable to attend. The races this afternoon were all close and exciting. - The first event was a special, best two in three. Kent won, El Benton second. 3 4 3—2:26.

The Mountain Stream Water Company Denied Exten=- sion of Time. ITS CONTRACT DECLARED NULL. Irrigators Confident of Victory In the United States Supreme Court. SAN DIEGO, Car., Aug. 17.—The Linda Vista irrigation district, the largest in the State, made a contract with the Mountain Stream Water Company on April 18 to de- velop 2000 inches of water, to be paid in $625,000 of bonds of the district. The com- pany was to begin work within four months of the date of the contract, or on August 18. , John D. Works, ex-Judge of the Supreme Court and president of the Mountain Stream Company, to-day wrote to the directors of the district asking for an ex- tension of time. He gave the following reasons: “In view of the fact that Judge Rossof the United States Circuit Court has re- cently decided the Wright irrigation law to be unconstitutional, and in view of the further fact that the decision from the Su- vreme Court of the United States, covering the same subject-matter, is soon expected, it seems best for all parties concerned in the contract recently executed between your district and the Mountain Stream Water Company, looking to the placing upeon property 1n the district of a supply of water by the Mountain Stream Water Company within a certain epecified time, that further time should be allowed the company in which to commence the work under that agreement. If the Judge Ross decision should be upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States, and there is, of course, at least a possibility ef such a thing, then any action which the Moun- tain Stream Company might take under contraet prior to the decision of the Su- preme Court would be a loss to itself and would not benefit your district.” The directors of the district held a meet- ing and unanimously adopted a resolution refusing an extension of time. The con- tract is therefore null and veid. Judge George Fuller, president of the board of directors of the Linda Vista district, gives the reasons for the refusal in a letter to Judge Works. “The situation is not changed.” writes Judge Fuller, by the decision of Juage Rossin the Fallbrook case. The validity of the Wright act was questioned from its incipiency, and the question was on an appeal in the Supreme Court of the United States in April last, and had been so for some time previous. The district of course would not then have made a con- tract which should not take effect until the ‘Wright act should be upheld by the United States Supreme Court, and it will not do it now. “When the Supreme Court shall render its decision upholding the Wright act the district will have no need to enter into any such contract as that of April 18. The sole consideration of entering into that con- | tract was that under it, if carried out, water would be brought to the district without delay and work would be com- menced and actively prosecuted without waiting for the announcement of the de- cision of the Supreme Court.” The Linda Vista district is authorized to -issue $1,000,000 in bonds under the Wright act. The directors are acting as if no de- cision had been rendered, and the opinion is gaining ground that the Supreme Court will not sustain Judge Ross. HANGED TO A CHANDELIER. Giuseppi Stefany’s Deliberate Method of Self-Destruction. SAN DIEGO, CAL., Aug. 17.—The body of a man who registered yesterday at Hotel Brewster as Charles Stefany was found by the housekeeper to-day hanging by a shawl strap from a gasjet in a bed- room on the third floor. His toes barely touched the floor. Stefany evidently prepared deliberately to commit suicide. Upon reaching the rocm he had removed his shoes, coat and collar. A loaded six-shooter lay on a table. His gripsack was open, showing good clothing and belongings and medicine bottles. ‘The man was apparently about 55 years old, of medium height and sickly looking. The Coroner took possession of the trunk and a letter addressed to Dr. Jose Rodes of this city.’ Letters were left by Stefany to Rector Restarick of 8t. Paul’s, asking him to conduct the funeral services, and to Un- dertaker Johnson, asking him to bury him, and said that there was $50 in the safe of the hotel for expenses. The letter contained a diagram showing how he wished to be laid beside his wife, and say- ing also to give his valise and its contents to the poor. Stefany’s wife was buried here last May. The name on the register is J. E. O. Ste- fany, Oakland, but the note to the undex- -| taker is signed Giuseppi Stefany. DEATH OF MRS. BRUCE. She Danced With the First President Har- rison at His Inauguration. - BAN DIEGO, CaAL., Aug. 17.—Mrs, La- vinia M. Bruce, member of a distinguished Maryland family, died this morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. German, after a brief illness, aged 79. She was a daughter of Thomas Thistle and Mrs. Cresap Thistle and the widow of Hon. Henry Bruce, who was until his death, thirty years ago, a prominent attorney in Maryland. Embassador Bayard isa cousin of the deceased. When entering Washington society she danced with the first President Harrison at his inaugural ball, and when President Benjamin Harrison was here a few years ago she was made one of the party during his reception. WAR ON GUANO HUNTERS. A Mexican Steamer Cruising Among the Coast Islands. SAN DIEGO, CAL., Aug. 17.—An’ avrival overland from Ensenada, Lower California, says that the steamer Carlos Pacheco has gone to hunt through the Mexican islands for Americans loading guano in violation of the concession held by the Mexican Colonization Company. The story of a Riverside man having a guano concession is l untrue, as the colonization company has held it since 1891. This is the first effort to protect the con- cession, and the two San Diego men now in Jail at Ensenada are the first caught, though it is said that fully 1000 tons have been brought to this port by American schooners in the past six months. NOT DR. HALL’S PROPERTY. Therefore He Had No Right to Give Relics to a Museum. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 17.—The trus- tees of the American Museum of Natural History in this city have heard for a long time that there was going to be an expos- ure of the management of that institution, and that it would be charged that there was in the museum a very large collection of exhibits to which they could not show Jegal title. It was not till yesterday, how- ever, that it became known that Secretary Dewey of the Board of Regents of the State of New York was the author of them. He stated at ameeting of the Abell Assembly investicating committee in Albany that the very valuable geological collection which occupies about three-quarters of the main third floor in the museum building did not belong to Dr. James Hall when he sold it to the trustees. It had never been suspected by the trus- tees that there was the slightest doubt in the title of Dr. Hall to the specimens. Secretary Dewey says that the collection was pomnted out to him as belonging to the State, and should have been in the State Museum in Albany. Dewey alleges as well that Dr. Hall has sold a valuable collection to the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania and to private per- sons, which property belonged to the State, and _iud applied the money from such sales to his own use. He says that it became necessary to put a regular watch on Dr. Hall, and he has not_been permitted to open any of the cases in which geological specimens were kept without an attendant being present to unlock the doors and watch the specimens. ONTARIO'S RAPID GROWTH The Desirable Improvements That Have Been Made in a Single Season. WIll Ship More Lemons This Year Than Any Other Town In the United States. ONTARIO, CAL., Aug. 15.—No town in California has made 2 better showing this summer in the matter of substantial and desirable improvements than has Ontario. The most notable of these improvements have been the sewer system, electric lights and electric. railway, water developments and building enterprises. The sewer system is designed only for the half mile square comprising the town, but is capable of being extended. It was designed by Sanitary Engineer Arthur 8. Hobby Jr. and will cost about $10,000. The system will be completed inside of two weeks, The electric-light system and electric railway are being put in by the Ontario Electric Company at a cost of $100,000. The present gravity line, now operated the entire length of Euclid avenue, is being re- placed by electric power, and the electric line will be one of the sights of California, The unique gravity line has been described in Tue Caiy, and for a long time it en- joyed the distinction of being the only railway of its kind in the United States. The road runs from the town of Ontario to San Antonio Heights, a distance of seven miles. The grade is very uniform and averages 150 feet to the mile. Mules haul the cars up, the weight of the car carrying it down on the return trip. The average return trip is made in twenty-five minutes, but last winter, when the State Bank was robbed and the brother of the cashier, who was imprisoned in the vault, was sent to liberate him, the younF man speeded the car over the seven miles in exactly nine minutes. Thisis the fastest time on record for a streetcar. The electric system will be completed inside of three weeks. An average of 150 men have been at work all summer developing water. This has been accomplished b{ means of wells and tunnels, ana all will be connected and the output turned into the irrigation sys- tem-of the colony within a menth. The irrigators voted bonds to the amount of 3300,000 last year, with which to buy or evelop water, and so far the work has all been.in the line of development. An elegant bank building and a number of good residences have kept carpenters busy all summer, and the work of fruit curing and shipping is now giving em- ployment to a large number of hands. The orange season has just closed. The output from this place was 80,000 xes. Ontario will this year ship more lemons than any other point in the TUnited States. The shipments up to date amount to 26,076 boxes, and a considerable part of the crop is still in the curing-house. Both the orange and lemon crops have been shipped mainly through the Exchange system, which has proven a great success. st ol Grover Heads Off a Story. BUZZARDS BAY, Mass., Aug. 17.—The President spent a few hours fishing on the Esther to-day. It having been reported that a certain New York paper intended to publish on Sunday an exhaustive article on the President’s life at Buzzards Bay, and that it would contain an interview with him, the President sent the following telegram to-day: “Your representative has neither seen me norany one connected with my household. The publication of any interview will be an outrageous frand.” AR Where Is the Valkyrie? NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 17.—No word has been received from Lord Dunraven’s Valkyrie since she was sighted last Mon- day evening passing Cape Race.

Tim Murphy and Installator Beaten Out Handily by Bloomsbury: GRATIFY A FAST YOUNGSTER. J O C Upset Calculations In the | Hurdle Race Through Madi- son’s Good Riding. John Mackey, superintendent of Rancho del Paso, viewed the races from the clubhouse bal- cony yesterday. Jasper Madison is rapidly becoming at home taking the jumps, and erelong will be a de- cidedly interesting factor in steeplechases. He was a fine rider on the flat and easily outfin- ished Cairns yesterday. “Curly” Shields lost ome cf his recently arrived Kentucky yearlings yesterday. The. youngster was sick when he landed here and finally succumbed to a cold contracted on the journey. He was a good-looking chestnut colt by Linden, dam Ella H, by imp. Great Tom. For scme unknown reason Selkirk was & supposed ‘“good thing” in the fifth race, and, considerable coin found its way into the books on the Southern horse at the short price of 3 to 1. Hewanted torun all over the track, and Lloyd' finaliy pulled him up to avoid going through the outside fence. Although a bleak, cold day and a rather speckled card for Saturday, a fairly good crowd turned out to the races yesterday. The betting was good, but many a dollar found its way into the bookies’ tin box that never got out again, for the road was extremely lumpy for the first choices, four out of six falling by the wayside. Interest was principally centered in the meeting of Tim Murphy and Installator in a five-fur- long dash, but both ran like two discarded Government mules, and were beaten easily by a twe-year-old. : The bell tapped out eight very ordinary selling-platers for the first event, a five and a half furlong dash, the Westchester stable furnishing a 6 to 5 favorite in De- tective. Suro, imp. Green and Yangedene also received quite extensive backing. Imp. Green galloped in front of his field until well into the stretch, where Detective passed him and seemed to be winning, when Piggott came with a rush on the 8 to 1 chance Yangedene, and outfinishing Chevalier on the favorite won by a head. Suro was a fair third. & The starters in the next race, a' five-fur- long spin, were of a much better class. Gold Bug opened an even money chance, but went back in -betting to 8 to 5, there being a heavy play on Realization. Many dollars also found their way into the book- makers’ coffers on the two-year-old Card- well, third choice in thelbetting. There was nothing in the race from flag- fall but Realization, the secorid choice. He led all the way, and won handily by a length and' a half from the hard-ridden Gold Bug, in 1:01. - By the way the coin poured into'the books on Gratify to win the two-year-old handicap, one would suppose that ever: race-goer on the course had the youngster’s name written on his hatbnm; before he purchased his admission ticket. A barrel of coin went in on him, cutting his odds from 2 to 1to7 to.5. Grady was second choice, with Tiberius, Don Gara and Josephine fancied in the order named. The backers of the favorite never felt ill at ease, for he got away in front when the flag fell, and leading all the way, won by two lengths from Grady, running the short six furlongs in 1:18, an excellent perform- ance. Josephine finished a fair third. Next came the fourth race, bringing to- ether Installator and Tim Murphy ina gve—f\n‘long dash. The only other starter was Bloomsbury, a fine looking youngster by Three Cheers. The two stars opened in the betting at even money.each, Instal- lator later going back in the betting to twos and Tim’s price being cut to 7 to 10, although he finally closed at 9t0 10. A Elay on Insiallator at the last moment cut is price to 8 to 5 in most books. Blooms- bury was quoted at fives. Those who looked forward to a horse race and fast time were doomed to disa) pointment, for when the red flag fell eidy took the two-year-old out in front and he made the record breakers look like ‘‘yaller dogs.” He led throughout and ‘won handilf a length before Tim Murphy, with Installator %hree lengths further away. The distance was covered in 1:01. The fifth race, a second edition of the opening affair, gathered together nine more fifty-dollar nags in a five and a half furlong run, and tips were thicker than ats in Golden Gate Park. Selkirk, Bob ucker and Jim Corbett were all ‘‘good things.”” When the rush was over Wild Rose was backed down from fours to 6 to 5, closing favorite. After Bob Tucker had looked all over a winner, leading up to the last hundred yards, the favorite came out of the bunch and disposed of him handily, winning by two lengths, Jim Corbeit, backed from 20 to 8, was a good third. The mile and a half hurdle race was a ood betting affair. Carmel, Mestor, J O C; he Lark and Gold Dust were all well lnrved at odds that differed but slightly, Eo d Dust finally closing a slight favorite with threes about him. Cairns on Gold Dust cut out the run- ning, leading the field up to and over the fifth jump, where J O C_passed him, and taking the last jump slignily in front of the favorite drew away under Madison's good riding and won cleverlyu‘bi two and a half len, Mestor was third, a length behind Gold Dust. The winner covered the distance in 2:4714. SUMMARY. BAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 17, 1895, purse $250. Time, 1:09%4. St Str. Fia, 4 g’l 8T 1n MULHOLLAND. Ind.

Borrowed a Revolver and ‘Sent a Bullet Through Her % Brain. . * THE | CAUSE IS A MYSTERY. She Was Vislting ‘Frlends and Was . Seemingly In Excellent Splrits. " SAN JOSE, CAE., Aug. 17.—Miss Bvelyn McCormick of San Francisco suicide in thiscity this afternoon residence of Dr..J. U, Hall. °T leading to the tragedy are most my ous and none. of the Hall family, guest she was, can account for the act. Miss McCormick, who was about 20 years ‘of age, arrived in- this city last Sunday to visit- her classmate in the Mark Hopkins ‘Art Instituté, Miss' Catherine Hall.. ‘She had ‘been in unusually good spirits, her ‘merriment even occasioning comment. This morning she visited a gunstore: on First, street and asked to look at some pistols. She wasin excellent spirits and told the gunsmith she wanted to kill an old and sick horse, stating that it distressed her to see the poor animal suffer. . She o ‘wanted to rent the weapon,:but was. re- fused. She then visited a hardware-siore and succeeded in borrowing ome from'a auses steri- . young clerk: She took the pistol, which was lovded for her, and returned to the residence of Dr. Hall.~ En route she stopped at the doc- tor's office-and was joined by his son, who accompanied her home. To all partiesshe was exceedingly cheerful and affable. : Her'schoolmate, Miss Hall, was about to go for a ride and Miss McCormick accom- panied’ her to the buggy and Kkissed her good-by. She then went to her room, {and ‘a few moments later a pistol report was heard, but no heed taken, as ‘it was not thought to have come from the house. Fifteen minutes later Miss Hall went up- stairs and detected powder smoke. She went into Miss McCormick’s room and found her lying across the bed unconscious with a pistol in her hand and a hole in the right side of her head, from which blood and brains were oozing. Doctors were called, but the young lady djed a few moments after their arrival. Miss McCormick resided with her mother at 2648 Folsom street, San Fran- cisco.” Bhe was devoted to art work, and had expressed her intention of devoting her life to it. Mrs. McCormick, mother of the girl, and William and John McCormick, brothers, arrived here on the theater train at1:30 o’clock A, M. They could assign no cause for the suicide. Miss McCormick, as an artist, had at-' tained considerable prominence in Paris some three years ago,and had two pic- tures hung in the salon. She studied un- der Julian, while there and devoted a great deal of time to impressionistic work, some of which she presented as specimens at the recent Midwinter Fair. She had charge ot the women’s end of the art department in bernia | conjunction with John Stanton, and was very well known to the local artists. Her studio was in the Columbia building and was one of the best appointed in the City. Of late years Miss McCormick has de- voted all her spare time to art and had al- ways said that she would attain distine- tion by her landscape work, of which she produced a great deal.

Jollity and exhuberant health are a proverbial combination. -The hearty man ‘who is always laughing doesn’t have any trouble with his digestion, It has been said that laughing makes peo- ple healthy. The truth is that health ‘makes people laugh. _ There isn’t any other thing so esserttial to health as regularity in the action of the bowels. Most all sickness starts with some derangement of the digestive func- tions. Good digestion means good, pure blood,-and that means strength. - Once let the bowels become clogged with refuse matter, and the whole system is deranged. Impure, goisouous matter ets into the blood and plants the seeds fi)r all sorts of sickness. Whenever- there is a stoppage of the intestinal action, help should be given immediately. Usually a mild, gentle laxative is all that is necessary. vio- lent, wrenching, griping cathartic is pever needed.
