2 t THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1895. ] 3 BOWED TO AMERICANS Crowned Heads Greeted the Veterans From Abroad. HONORS FOR VISITORS. Germany’s Troops Reviewed by Emperor William and the King of Wurtemburg. FALL OF SEDAN CELEBRATED. Throughout Germany and Prussia Veterans Renewed the Vic- torles of Battle. BERLIN, Gervany, Sept. 2.—The cele- bration of the fall of Sedan was continued to-day. The wea r was perfect. At 3 o’clock this mornin mperor William reviewed the riment of the Guards before the Sc d at the conclusion of the review personally decorated the stan- dards of the troops with oak leaves, and balf an hour his Majesty started for the parade grounds, where he was to hold a review of the veterans of the Franco- 7 who had come from the ted States to take part in celebrating the German victory. The Emperor was attended by a glitter- ing suite of generals, Princes and foreign attaches. The Emperor at once rode to the point where the American veterans, about forty in number, were stationed and addressed a few words to them, asking in what regiments they had served. Emperor William and the King of Wurtemburg then rode down the first line of infantry, which was two miles long, and back along the second line, which was formed of cav- alry, artillery and the commissariat, the entire force on review numbering 30,000 men. The Emperor then took his position at the head of the parade and led his own regiment, the First Life Guards, past the Empress. When the Pottsdam Red Hus- sars came up, the King of Wurtemburg galloped to the front, and, placing himself at the head, led them past the Empress on a trot. The King afterward rode to the position of the American veterans, and vished them much enjoyment and pros- pe in their new country. Amid tremendous cheers the Emperor entered the city at the head of his color company, passing through the Friedrich Strasse and Unter den Linden, where the dren of Berlin schools, numbering about 31,000, were formed in line, awaiting the arrival of his Majesty. Over 100,000 persons witnessed the procession, the win- dows and roofs of the buildings along the line of march being crowded with specta- tors, and every available space being occu- pied. Cheers were heard on every side, and handkerchiefs were waved and hats thrown into the air. The whole city was in a holiday fever. The first brigade of the Berlin troops, the Gardes du Corps, again formed in line at the arsenal and marched to the castle, and the Emperor caused them to pass in re- view on the great square of the Lust Gar- ten with all the bands playing. At noon, while the colors were entering the castle, a band in the tower gallery played the march from “Aida,” *“Die Wacht am Rhine,” and other selections. When dusk set in this evening huge bonfires were lighted upon raised positions north and south of the city to give the sig- nal for the general illuminations. Emperor William to-day telegraphed to Prince Bismarck as follows: To-day, when all Germany celebrates the world-historic capitulation of Sedan, it is a necessity that my heart should anew assure you that I ever remember with deep-felt grate- fulness the imperishable work that your Grace echieved at that great time for my venerable grandfather, the fatherland and the German cause. WILHELY. Prince Bismarck replied: 1lay my most respectful thanks at the feet of your Majesty for your gracious greeting and recognition of my co-operation in the national work of the departed Kaiser Koenig. BISMARCE. Religious services were held in the vari- ous churches at Stuttgart to-day, and memorial addresses were delivered at the graves of the soldiers who fell during the war of 1870. Later gymnastic contests were held, and at dusk huge bonfires were lighted on the Hazenburg and other hills around the city. At Mannheim artillery salutes were fired, processions headed by bands of music marched through the streets and the dome of the City Hall was illuminated during the evening. The Veterans’ Union vlaced wreaths upon the Kaiser Wilhelm monument and the Burgomaster made an ardent speech to the crowd that had gath- ered on the mess platz. At Iserlohn, Prussia, a fete took place at the Warrior monument and meémorial gervices were held at the cemetery. At Treves a procession composed of veterans, guilds and societies marched through the streets, and a dinner, of which 600 par- took, was given by the city authorities. The public buildings in Cologne were il- Juminated last evening, and to-day memo- rial services were held in all the chorches and the great bells of the cathedral were rung. A fete was held in the Guerzenich, at which Burgomaster Becker, the civil authorities of the city and a thousand guests were present. The Cologne Choral Union gave a great volksfest in the gar- * dens of the Flora Society, at which many patriotic songs were sung. The city to-night presents a most beau- tiful sight, being everywhere illuminated. One of the features of the night’s celebra- tion was a procession, in which the march- ers carried magnesium lights, the bril- liancy of which gave a beautiful effect to the streets through which the procession passed. g An exciting incident occurred at the moment the trocps approached the cas- tle’s square. An immense crowd had gath- ered to witness the tattoo, when suddenly afire-engine broke through that part of the assemblage in front of the window of the castle, where the Emperor was to appear, and where the crowd was most dense. The women shrieked in terror and the confu- gion was very great. The great crowd stumbled over each other in their eager- ness to escape from the engine, but as far as is known no one was seriously hurt. During this afternoon and evening, how- ever, there were several accidents and a number of persons were run over. The Emperor drove through the city after 11 o’clock to-night. At Frankfort this evening several per- sons were injured by a premature explo- sion of fireworks. The banquet this evening of the veterans at Freiberg, Baden, was brought to a sad | termination. Justice Kieser had arisen and was offering a toast to the people and the army, when he was struck with an at- tack of apoplexy and died almost in- stantly. In Hamburg the day was generally ob- served as a holiday. Bells in every di- rection rang joyous peals, and patriotism was everywhere displayed. In the even- ing there was a torchlight procession, 1n which 4000 men took part. There was a display of fireworks on“the Algter. Many persons were prostrated by sunstroke dur- ing the day. Celebrated in Nebraska. LINCOLN, NEsr., Sept. 2.—Germans of Lincoln celebrated the twenty-fifth anni- versary of the battle of Sedan this even- ing, under the auspices of the Deutsche Kreiger Verein. There was a programme of orchestral music and an address by Colonel Esser of the Staats Anzieger, to- gether with patriotic songs by Concordia Maennerchoir. ROUTED IN 4 BLOODY BATTLE. Maceo’s Force Defeated by Spaniards Under Carnellas. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cusa, Sept. 2.— On Saturday 350 troops commanded by Colonel Canellas had an engagement with 500 rebels led by Maceo and Sap Indio, south of Ramon de Las Yaguas. The fight resulted in the rout of the rebels. The insurgents left thirty-six dead on the field and carried away with them on their retreat over eighty wounded. The Government loss was one lieutenant and eleven men killed and forty-three wounded, including four captains. The steamer Reina Maria Christina ar- rived this afternoon from Spain, bringing a large number of troops for service against the rebels. Immense crowds gathered on the wharf when the troops landed, and they were given an enthusiastic reception. SURPRISE TO THE PARTY. McCarthy Did Not Consult Any One Before Issuing an Appeal. The Document Has Only Widened the Breach With the Healyites. LONDON, Exa., Sept. 2.—The Pall Mall Gazette’s lobby reporter had an interview with several members of the anti-Par- nellite section of the Irish party regarding an appeal issued to the electors of South Kerry by Justin McCarthy. All of the gentlemen interviewed offered the opinion that the document was a surprise to the party. Mr. McCarthy, they said, had not consulted the committee of the party be- fore issuing the appeal, and it is surmised that he had acted upon the advice of only Messrs. John Dillon and Thomas P. 0’Con- nor. The document has produced a pro- found sensation, and has widened the breach with the Healyites. The text of the appeal, which is issued in the form of a manifesto, says: “Messrs. Arthur O’Connor and Florence O’Driscoll were dispatched to America to induce our friends there to cease subscribing to the party’s funds. They might have succeeded if Mr. Blake had not exposed ana defeated the plot. This is why he was singled out for a calumnious attack by the enemies of the party. The failure of this attempt did not end the campaigu, for in the face of Dr. Emmet’s warning, that discussion in the press and on the platform of guestions already decided within the counsel of the party meant a cessation of subscriptions, such questions were constantly reopened. Hence, subscriptions from America and Australia ceased. In Ireland the cam- paign to bankrupt and destroy the move- ment has been as active and almost as suc- cessful,” ——-—— T0 EILL THE CZAR. Plots in Russia Discovered and Nihilistic Leaders Arrested. LONDON, Exa., Sept. 2—The Chronicle will to-morrow publish a Vienna dispatch saying that advices received in that city from St. Petersburg are to the effect that the Russian police have discovered a wide- spread plot against the life of the Czarand other members of the imperial family. Some leaders were quietly arrested. Bombs, arms and revolutionary pamphlets have been seized by the police of Moscow during domiciliary visits. il PRt Sick French in Madagascar. PARIS, Fraxce, Sept. 2.—The Soleil pub- lishes a letter from a correspondent at Mojanga, Madagascar, which says that 2260 French soldiers are in the hospitals there, besides large numbers of others about to be sent home as invalids. The hospitals, the letter says, are mere shells, containing tiers of beds, one above another, the uppermost beds coming in contact with the canvas roof. Physicians and attendants are insufficient in number, besides being incompetent. Almost all the men still able to continue in the ranks are suffering severely from swollen feet. et All Well on the Kite. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 2.—The Glouces- ter fishing schooner McKenzie, from Green- land, which arrived this morning, reports that the Peary expedition steamer Kite was at Holstonberg July 15, with all on board well. She picked up Professor Dyche, who was awaiting her arrival. The Kite then sailed north for Peary’s head- quarters. The coast was clear of ice as far north as reports were obtained. The schooner herself was 200 miles north of Cape Farewell and saw none. She antici- pates u splendid chance for the Kite reach- ing her destination. —_———— Reforms for Armenia. LONDON, Ex6., Sept. 2.—The Standard will publish a dispatch from Vienna say- ing that Professor Vambery, who has inti- mate personal relations with the Sultan, hus written an article which appears in the Pesther Lloyd, declaring that the Sultan will assent to establishing reforms in Ar- menia if Germany, Austria and Italy will oin the three protesting powers—Great Britain, France and Russia—thereby mak- ing unanimous concert of Europe, which would lessen the insult of having to place the internal administration of one of his provinces under foreign control. R G ek Rumored Death of Rhodes. LONDON, Exe., Sept. 2.—A rumor pre- vails here to-day that Right. Hon. C. J. Rhodes, Prime Ministér to Cape Colony, has died at Capetown, but no confirmation of the rumor can be obtained. Rhodes has been very prominent in the South African affairs of the British South African Com- pany. e To Reform the Currency. LONDON, Exc., Sept. 2—The Parlia- mentary bimetallic committee has issued a circular requesting the eleven members of the House of Commons to co-operate with the committee in voting at the next ses- sion of the House in favor of the reform of the currency, S et Death of a Railway Official. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex., Sept. 2.— Edward W. Jackson, general manager of the Tnteroceanic Railway, and formerly vice-president of the Mexican Central Railway, died to-day. ALONG THE COAST, Ives Triumphs Against Northern Pacific Receivers. ARE VIRTUALLY OUSTED. Cited to Appear in Court to Answer to the Charges Preferred. JENKINS DECLARED IN ERROR. Exceeded Hlis Authority In Assum- ing the Entire Management of the Road. SEATTLE, Wasg., Sept. 2.—Judge Han- ford this morning rendered a decision in the Northern Pacific case, practically oust- ing the receivers. The court holds that the receivers must now appear in this dis- trict and answer the charges made against them in an affidavit filed recently by Presi- dent Brayton Ives of the Northern Pacific Railway Company. As to the validity of the $5,000,000 certificates issued by the re- ceivers, with the consent of Judge Jenkins, the court holds that they are not valid and are not liens against the Northern Pacific property unless confirmed by courts of jurisdiction. Judge Hanford ordered the receivers to give bonds to this court, and hereafter the entire management of the great Northern Pacific property will be under the direction of Judge Hanford. Two decisions were rendered, that of District Judge Hanford and that of Circuit Judge Elbert. They hold absolutely that Judge Jenkins had no authority whatever to appoint receivers for the property. In their decision Judges Gilbert and Hanford in part say: We find in this case no question attacking the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court for the eastern district of Wisconsin. It must be con- ceded that that court had jurisdiction to ap- point receivers, take into its possession the property of the railroad company that was within its territory, and to remove the same. The question for consideration here is not one of the jurisdiction of that court in the suits pending before it, but it is whether or not that court is to-day the court of primary jurisdic- tion tor the management and control of the property of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com- pany in the hands of receivers, and whether the rule of comity, as settled by the decisions of courts, requires this court to decline the jur- isdiction motion until matters here in issue shall have been adjudicated by another tri- bunal. All bills that were filed in various jurisdfe- tions in which property of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company is situated were original bills. Itis true that ‘each bill filed after the initiation of proceedings in the Eastern District of Wisconsin recited and referred to those pro- ceedings as the basis of action in other courts, and it is also true that other courts in follow- ing the rule of comity appointed in their own districts without question the receivers so named by the first court. Actual possession of the property of an insolvent corporation by the first court, through its receivers, however, could extend no further than the territorial limits of that court’s jurisdiction. The rights ot receivers as accorded in courts whose juris- aiction is exterior to thatof the initial pro- ceeding have their basis in comity. Such com- ity rests upon the fact that another court is in actual possession of a portion of the property which cannot well be sexregated, and which the best interests of all concerned require to be managed as a single system. Here, however, it is shown that at the time of filing this application to remove the re- ceivers there is no part of the raiiroad line of the Northern Pacific Rallroad Company within the jurisdiction of the court that first ap- pointed them, and that there is in that district no personal property held in receivership. All property that remains to be disposed of is in other jurisdictions. It follows from this state of facts that the court is powerless to make an order which affects in any way the manage- ment or the possession of any property of the corporation. No foreclosure sale of said mortgages can be had, no possession to purchasers can be given until the courts which have actual possession of said railroad shall consent thereto. The rule of comity which has been invoked by the opposition to the motion does not apply to such case as this. It is predicated upon the fact that another court has first taken and re- tained possession of the property. Itsreason consists in the fact that the court of initiatory proceeding has in its possession and must necessarily minister a portion of the property, which wise policy declares must not be disin. tegrated. That reason does not exist in this case, Many considerations lead us to believe that a wiser, more satisfactory management of the railroad may be obtained by the court which has jurisdiction over at least some terri- tory wherein the same is situated or in which the home office is located. In a wellconsidered case in the Supreme Court of Texas (Texas and Pacific Railway Company vs. Gay et al.) it was held that the United States Circuit Court of the District of Louisiana had no jurisdiction to appoint a re- ceiver and through him to take possession and control the reilroad, no part of which was within that State. Said the court: “No case can arise in which the court will have power to appoint a receiver unless there be property of which the court may take pos- session through fts receiver; and if the prop- erty be immovable (or movable, but so con- nected with immovable as cars or other like property necessary to and used in operating the railway), then the suit in which the re- ceiver to take pessession of them may be ap- pointed is necessarily one local in character, forin such case the court operates directly upon things. Such proceeding is not one strictly in rem, but such 1s its nature, and un- der geneinl rules everywhere recognized, such proceedings can be had only where the thing to be taken in possession is withinthe territory within which the court has power to act.” The fact that certificates of stock in other corporations which were held by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company have, since the receivership, been transferred to the receivers and stand in their names, has no bearing upon the question under consideration. The status of such property is not changed by the fact of such transfer. Shares of stock held by the Northern Pacific Railroad Company must be presumed to have been held by itat its home office in New York. If those shares have been transferred to receivers such transier has been made at the home office, and must have been made under the authority of the Circuit Court for that district; and if they are held by the receivers they are held under tne direction and control of that court, and they are not in possession or under the custody of the court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. It is strongly urged against the assumption of jurisdiction by this court to entertain the motion that during the receivership of these receivers, certificates have been issued to a large amount, and that the same are now held by innocent purchasers, and that to deny the primary jurisdiction of the court for the East- ern District of Wisconsin over the receivership isto hold that these certificates were unlaw- fully issued. We find no ground for such con- tention. If the receivers’ certificates have been authorized by courts of the various dis- tricts in which the property in receivership is situated, they are valid liens upon that prop- erty, irrespective of the question whether the court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin had the jurisdiction to order their issuance. If they have not been so authorized it is not per- ceived how the action of this court can in any way affect the question of their vaiidity. Iiis further contended that if the Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin is’ held not to be the court of primary jurisdiction over the property in receivership, such primary jurisdiction fallseither to the Circuit Court for the Western Districtof Wisconsin, in whose jur- isdiction a portion of the company’s railroad iies, and in which the receivers were appointed before they were appointed by this court, or to the Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, in which is located the home office of the corporation and alarge portion of its personal property. We see no grounds upon which the court should decline to hear the motion which is presented. The objection to the jurisdiction will be overruled. Judge Hanford supplemented the de- cision by saying: “We think that it is necessary that the receivers before any further action is taken should be called upon to make full answer to the affidavit of Brayton Ives.” In the discussion which followed as to the time when this reply should be made ex-United States Senator John B. Allen of counsel for the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company (“a trustee interested in the se- curities of the Northern Pacific,” as he ex- pressed it), suggested to the court that the date should be set some time ahead in order that his clients might not be rushed in the premises. To this the court made caustic reply, saying: “My idea about it is that the court ought to proceed summarily in this matter. Of course a fair chance to be heard must be accorded, but this isnot a case in which to go groping and searching for facts. The facts are necessarily within the knowl- edge of the individuals who have to make answer, and they cannot leave employed counsel to go scraping facts. They are called npon now to act. This trustee (the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company) has nothing to answer except to the charges that it acted in collusion with Villard and Cromwell. The trustee must repose con- fidence in the courts to give the protection which the law gives these securities. A decision of the court for or against one party, if it is according to law, is not go- ing to bull or bear these stocks. “The best security and the best support that can be given to the values of these securities is to have courts that will obey the law and compel the parties who are brought into litigation tc obey the law too. Now, for the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company, for the purpose of protecting the securities, to assume that it has to be- come a partisan of Mr. Oakes or Mr. Payne with the idea that if anybody else in the world is placed in a position as agent of the court to handle this property it is go- ing to raise or lower the value of these securities, is a fallacious idea.” Judge Hanford set October 2 as the date when Receivers Oakes, Payne and Rouse may file their answer to the affidavit of Brayton Ives. United States Senator Jobn S. Spooner, counsel for the receivers, made a vigorous fight for longer time in which to make answer, to which Colonel Silas W. Pettit, general counsel of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, retorted that if the receivers were attending to their busi- ness instead of junketing about the coun- try so much time would not be needed. Leading lawyers of the State were in at- tendance upon court when the decision was read. The Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company of New York was represented by Struve, Hughes, Allen & McMicken, a firm working in conjunction with the counsel for the receivers. Colonel Pettit was assisted by Samuel H. Piles and Har- old Preston in the great legal battle. WRECKED AT MANFELD Engine and Passenger Coach Derailed by a Cow on the Track. . Plunged Down a Fifty-Foot Em~ bankment, but No One Was Killed. PORTLAND, Og., Sept. 2—An Olympia special say: A cow on the track at Maxfield, eleven miles from here, wrecked the local passen- senger train this morning and sent the engine over an embankment fifty feet deep, dragging one passenger coach with it. Nobody was killed, and the only injury was to the fireman. On turning a sharp curve, where the railroad overlooks the Nisqually Flats, 500 feet below, Engineer Harry Shepard no- ticed two calves on the track. He slowed up to let them get off, but just then a cow stepped from the brush in front of the en- gine. The train was going too slowly to throw the cow off, and the animal was crushed under the wheels. The engine plunged a distance of fifty feet, turning over and burying itself in the brush and sand. The train was made up with the first-class coach next to the engine, and the smoker and baggage-car in the rear. The weight of the falling engine dragged the passenger coach from the track, break- ing the trucks. This coach followed the engine down the embankment, but was kept from rolling down by strong coup- lings with the baggage-car, which held to the track. Engineer Shepard jumped and fell be- tween the tank and wheels of the tender and was only bruised. The passengers were greatly alarmed, but none were hurt, Died on a Train Near Barstow. BARSTOW, CAv., Sept. 2.—A boy, eight years old, a son of Max Marcuse, a promi- nent resident of Oakland, Cal., died on a train near here last night. Mrs. Marcuse and famil;i‘ were homeward bound from Europe. 'he father met them at Los Angeles and learned the sad news. g e =GUARDING AGAINST CHOLERA. Stringent Measures Adopted to Repel the Threatened Invasion. PORTLAND, Og,, Sept. 2.—The pre- valence of cholera at Honolulu and in the Orient has created ascare here. The local Board of Health is already adopting strin- gent measures to repel its invasion. City Physician Wheeler says that at no time have Pacific Coast cities been so seriously menaced by the scourge as now. Winter is no protection against the disease, as the germs flourish in all temperatures. He says the situation is nlarming; Eeo le must not be deceived, an ealth ordinances must be rigorously enforced. All vessels coming here from foreign ports will be carefully examined, and quarantined if necessary A et ACCIDENT AT TACOMA. W. P. Bird Killed by a Fall Through an Elevator Shaft. TACOMA, Wasu., Sept. 2—W. P. Bird, brother of G.. W. Bird, reeeiver of the Ta- coma Rajlway and Motor Company, lost his life by an accident this afternoon. Bird bad been looking through the establishment of the Pacific Meat Com- pany on the flats and backed through an open elevator shaft, h“mi forty feet and striking on the back of his head. His skull was crushed and his hip dislocated. He lived but a few minutes. S s A Hollister Residence Burned. HOLLISTER, CAL., Sept. 2.—The ele- gant country residence of D. W. Gilmore, six miles south of town, was destroyed by fire yesterday. The biaze started from a defective flue. The loss was $8000, with insurance of ALONG THE COAST. Stockton Bimetallists to Form a Branch League. ALL PARTIES INCLUDED. One Member of Each Will Outline the Mode of Procedure. JUDGE BUDD ON FINANCES. Attributes Present Conditions to the Administration’s “ Goldbug” Policy. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 2.—Regarding the formation of a branch of the California Bimetallic League in Stockton, Judge Budd said this morning: “A branch of the league will be formed here shortly. We have already received instructions how to proc eed in the matter. ‘We propuse to inform the people on the silver question, and see that they are edu- cated to & proper understanding of the ruinous financial policy of the goldbug ad- ministration. “Times are a little better now, but what is the cause? It is just this: The gold- bugs, who toy with us as a cat plays with a mouse, saw the country was nearly dead from a financial point of view and de- cided to let silver go up a little. Asa mat- ter of course wheat went up in the same ratio, and the distress of the producer was relieved slightly. “I can’t understand why it is the masses will not see where their interestslie. A year ago silver was quoted at 61 cents per ounce, wheat at 61 cents per bushel. Sil- ver is now 67 cents and wheat has gone up accordingly. Tt is this everlasting policy of voting for the man and not for the prin- ciple that has placed this country where it is financially.” The proposition is to appoint a commit- tee of three, to consist of a Democrat, a Republican and a Populist, to outline a mode of procedure toward the forming of a branch league in Stockton, and matters will be kept moving to that end. Judge Budd and others interested in the cause of silver in Stockton propose to carry out the ideas of the Bimetallic League without further delay. The silver element in this county is soon to become an important factor in politics. SAW HIS COMPANION DROW A Drunken Man Looked On While a Friend Fought for Life. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 2—A man whose name could not be ascertained was drowned in Mormon Channel, near its month, yesterday afternoon at 6 o’clock. It is said the man who was drowned and his companion were intoxicated when they went down to the channel to bathe. The drowned man’s companion reiused to go into the water after they had gotto the bank of the channel and he ventured in alone. He could not swim, and soon after he entered the water he stepoed into one of the many deep pools in the channel and was drowned. During this time the other man was lying on the bank of the channel, but did not seem to notice his friend straggling in the water. Several men who were fishing further down the levee saw the man drowning and shouted to his companion on the bank. The latter did not seem to realize what was the matter and paid no attention to their calls. They all hurried down to the place, but were too late, as the man in the water had already disappeared for the third time. Attempts were made at once to recover the body. Grappling hooks were tried, but they were soon discarded because it was learned the man had no clothes on by which the hooks could take hold. Several expert swimmers, among them John Gam- betta and Carlos Morales, then began to dive for the body, but the bed of the chan- nel is so full of deep holes that they were not successful in finding it. The work of searching for the body was resumed again to-day. It was reported that the drowned man was named Murphy, and that he worked on the Valley road in some capacity. This could not be confirmed, as the drunken companion of the man who lost his life in the channel could not be found after he re- alized what had taken place. Coroner Clark and Deputy Jory went to the spot where the man went in, but could learn nothing from the crowd about it as to his identity. THE NEWS OF SAN- JOSE Two Men Arraigned in Court for Pulling a Gun on an Officer. Trouble in the School Board Leads to a Resignation—Attempt to Commit Suicide. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 2.—Herbert Cal- glesser and Henry Borchers were exam- ined before Justice Gass to-day ona charge of resisting arrest, Officer Monahan being the complainant. Officer Monahan, who was patroling his beat on Santa Clara street, near Eighth, on the evening of August 19, heard a gun shot at the corner of Ninth. Monahan ran across the street and found Borchers and Calglesser in front of St. Patrick’s Church mldg ordered them to sccompany him on a tour of further investigation. There was a shotgun leaning against the fence and Officer Monahan took possession of it, but had no sooner done so than Borchers, who bad a gun under his coat, loaded it like a flash, and sticking it under Monahan’s ear, ordered the officer to throw up his hands and surrender his star. Monahan refused, and as a car was aggronehlng, Borchers and Calglesser backed away and disap- peared in the darkness. Officer Monahan on the stand said that after Borchers was arrested he said he was only joking. Several witnesses testified to the good character of the defendants. Justice Gass dismissed Gal¥lesser and al- lowed Borchers to plead guilty to a misde- meanor charge and suspended sentence. VICTORY FOR PETERSON. An Estate Deeded to His Late Wife De- clared Community Property. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 2.—Judge Rey- nolds this morning rendered a decision in favor of plaintiff in the case of Peter J Peterson vs. Guy H. Salisbury, adminis- trator of the estate of Mary A. Peterson, deceased, to have certain property declared community property. Peterson and his wife married in 1886. The husband purchased a lot, and as his work was of a dangerous nature he had the deed made out to his wife. In 1889 the couple wanted to mo; nsa the lot to build a house, and as the deed was defective a new one was made. In the interim be- tween the making of the first and second | deeds the laws of the State had been so’ changed as to permit a wife to hold sepa- rate g;operty. At Mary Peterson’s death the adminis- trator claimed it was the separate property of the deceased. TROUBLE IN A SCHOOL BOAED. One Resignation the Result of Favoring Home Industry. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 2.—At a meeting of the Board of Education to-day to con- sider school supplies ordered, School Trustee Moore tendered his resignation. This grows out of the action of the board a few days ago in awarding a contract for 150 school desks to L. Lion & Sons Com- g;ny at $1 per desk more than the bid of eber & Co. of San Francisco, who were the lowest bidders. Inawarding the con- tract to Lion & Sons Company, the board finve the reason as wishing to patronize ome industry. As the meeting of the board to-day was a special one, Moore’s resignation could not be acted upon, and it was laid over until the next meeting. DETERMINED TO DIE. Mrs. Fiji’s Third Attempt to Commit Suicide. SAN JOSE. Car., Sept. 2.—Mrs. Alice Fiji, who has made two attempts to end her life in the last two weeks, made a third attempt last night by taking arsenic, but was discovered in time by friends, who summoned medical aid. Her husband deserted her two weeks ago, taking $1700 in cash and considerable jew- elry belonging to her. Mrs. Fiji is nearly crazed with grief, and it is feared that she will yet end her life. Asks for Letters of Administration. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 2.—Martin Judge to-day petitioned for letters of administra- tion on the estate of his uncle, Martin Judge, who died near this city on August 29,1895. The estate is valued at $2000, and consists of $1000 on deposit in the Safe Deposit Bank and $800 in the hands of P. J. Donahue for the sale of hay. The de- ceased was 47 years of age at the time of his death and married. e heirs are a number of nieces and nephews residing in San Francisco. None Blamed for Butler’s Death. SAN JOSE, CaL., Sept. 2.—The Coroner’s inquest into the cause of the death of Ormond Butler, the young bicyclist killed in a streetcar accident on Saturday, was concluded this morning. The jury re- turned a verdict ascribing Butler’s death to injuries received from the collision, but failed to attach the blame to any one. Carried the Safe Away.

SANDEN, Health and Strength Restored by a Belt of His Invention. Hundreds Benefited. During the past dozen years the master minds of the scientific world have been centered on developing the great powers of electricity and discovering new uses there- for. Daily the public is apprised of some- thing new that electricity can accomplish and eagerly the people wait for, watch and read with great interest the discoveries made by men whose life work is devoted to the development of its powers. One of the most wonderful powers in electricity during the last ten years was discovered by Dr. A. T. Sanden of Chicago, Illinois, who was for years a practicing phbysician and surgeon in that city. His DR. A. T. SANDEN.. long residence in Chicago and his great knowledge of medicine soon brought him to the front ranks of the profession. His practice in Chicago was one of the largest and most lucrative, among his patients be- ing many of the oldest and wealthiest fam= ilies. But after long years of constant ap- plication to his profession his health failed, his entire nervous system gave way and he was then advised by the most eminent physicians of Cbicago and New York to retire from practice and take a much- needed rest. It was at this juncture that Dr. Sanden began his experiments in elec- tricity. On the advice of his medical friends he went abroad and consulted with the greatest specialists of Europe, but their skill and great knowledge of medicine could not restore him to health, so he re- turned to his home in Chicag®a physical wreck and was resigned to the fate that he felt was not far away. Dr. Sanden was always a great believer in the powers of electricity, both as a he al- ing and curative remedy. When health permitted he would devote hours to the work of perfecting an electric belt which he had designed for his own use. His con- fidence in the great restorative powers of electricity was never shaken, and by faith- fully experimenting he at last discovered a remedy which enabled him to regain his health, and to-day he is as vigorous and robust as the day he graduated from the medical college. The cure which was effected by the elestric belt upon Dr. Sanden, its patentee, astonished the whole medical fraternity of the East. They were compelled to recognize the great discovery made by one of the best-known and highly honored members of the Medical Association of Chicago, and in thousands of cases the doctors throughout the country have, casc aside medical ethics and have indorsed the Dr. Sanden Electric Belt as a certain cure for nervousness, neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica, female weakness and kidney dis~ eases. The use of Dr.Sanden’s Electric Belt has become almost universal. Last year over fifty thousand of them were sold in the United States, and they have ef- fected more cures than have medicinal remedies, judging from the flattering tes- timonials which are received daily by Dr. Sanden. Professors Beard and Rockwell says “There is little doubr that if electricity could be given in the form of pills or pow= ders its use would be increased one thou- sand fold.” The Sanden Electric Belt Company has established an office in San Francisco. Their offices are crowded daily with hun- dreds of people who have been life-long sufferers from ailments that have been pronounced incurable. But having heard of the great merits of the celebrated elec- tric belt, they apparently have great confi- dence themselves in it and are willing to ive it a test, like thousands of others who fiuve found relief and regained health by its use. All who are suffering from nervousness or have other afflictions mi%ht find some relief by consultingipersonally or corre- sponding with Dr. A. T. Sanden, 632 Mar~ ket street, San Francisco.
