The witness said she had taken several medicines, but took none now. She called seven or eight off to Deuprey, ‘and he asked if she took them all every day. This she ratherindignantly denied. Then after a few more questions as to her sojourn in Alameda, the lawyers for the defense held a long consultation with Mr. and Mre. Durrant and with Harry Morse. and it was then rather sud- denly announced that they were through with the cross-examination. Then Barnes asked a few more questions -‘How was Durrant’s face situated when you saw him on the cars?" “He sat 50 close tome that when the con- ductor opened the door, I tried to catch his eye. Tow much of his face could you see?” “Nearly all.” **And how much could you see when he got off the car?” “His profile.”” This ended Mrs. Crossett’s examination, and she was led from the stand. Court then adjourned until this morning. NEARING AN AGREEMENT, Officials of the Rival Jockey Clubs Meet for Com-~ promise. Lack of Entries Compels the Cali- fornia Jockey Club to Post- pone Its Opening. The differences whick for some time past existed in racing circles are now in a fair way of adjustment. To effect an agree- ment so as to avoid a conflict of dates in the programmes for the fall and winter races of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club and the California Jockey Club, a conference was held recently at the rooms of T. H. ‘Williams, president of the California Club. The meeting was attended by A. B. Spreckels, president of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club; H. J. Crocker and W. S. Leake, representing the new racetrack in- terests at Ingleside. A free exchange of views was had con- cerning the interests of racing on this coast and while no definite conclusions were reached, yet the meeting was a long leg in the direction of a peaceable and sat- )sgacmry solution of the differences which have beretofore existed in racing circles. A. B. Spreckels was seen yesterday and said that the meeting held was preliminary to one soon to be called, at which time it was to be hoped that an amicable agree- ment would be made to the end that the two clubs would have no conflict as to time and interests. The new track at Ingleside will be opened on November 1. There will be two tracks used for racing purposes. The inner track, which is of a sandy composition, will be used during the rainy season, re- serving the main track, with a covering of black loam, for dry-weather racing, mak- ing it the most complete racecourse in America. Entries for the rich stake events closed yesterday, with a most flattering showing for the new organization, The number from this State alone amounts to over 300, with horsemen from the other side of the Rockies yet to be heard from. Owing 10 a scarcity of entries the offi- cials of the California Jockey Club decided at a meeting held last evening to postpone the opening day of their fall meeting until Saturday, September 21. Many of the best horses are still at Sacramento, while those that were not sent to the State Fair meet have been enjoying a_needed letup, which accounts for the paucity of available run- ning material. President Williams gave out the infor- mation yesterday that ‘‘Jimmie” Rowe will not be seen in the stand at the Bay District during the forthcoming meeting. The gentlemanly starter has other fields in view, and his place has been filled bf’ the engagement of Joseph J. Burke, well known to all racetrack patrons, who_has acted in the capacity of judge on mo st of the prominent racetracks in the country. Mr. Eurke is very popular among horse- men, and the selection is considered a wise one. Obiyesa, a chestnut gelding in the stable of White and Clark, was destroyed yester- day by a kindly bullet. The gelding was purchased from Pat Dunne for $1200 and was & very promising racer, but the return of a disease, ‘‘big head,” with which' he was afflicted when a youngster at Palo Alto stock farm, compelled the course taken.g - e LOFDAHL'S DILEMMA, He May Have to Go to Jail if He Marries and Will Have to if He Don’t. John Lofdahl will have to go to jail for breach of promise if he does not marry Amelia Jehnson, and if he does marry her he may have to goto jail for bigamy. It was on this basis that the man figured his chances in Judge Belcher’s court. He conciuded that it would not be wise to complicate matters by baving two wives at once, so he stands convicted for yviolating the promise that would have made him a bigamist. Lofdahl and Miss Johnson are from Sweden. The woman is 30 yearsold, and the man is older than that. They became acquainted a year ago, and have been en- ed for several months. ofdahl testified at the trial that be had intended to marry Miss Johnson and that he was still willing to carry out his prom- ise, but that there was some uncertainty about the existence of a wife whom he left in Sweden seven years ago. He has heard nothing from his wife since the departure from 1,\'\\ eden, and a brother wrote that she vas dead. et, no proof had been obtained of the ,and Lofdahl was not free to marry again. The jury found him guilty of wronging the woman whom he had promised , to marry here, but a chance to settle the mat- ter by matrimony may be given if the death’ certificate ‘can be obtained from Sweden. Lofdahl and Miss Johnson were affec- tionate in their manner toward each other in court, though the woman was the prose- cuting witness. They clasped hands when the verdict was pronounced, and the woman wept. Lofdahl is employed at the Union Iron Works. ASSAULTED AND ROBBED. Rough Experience of Thomas Mahoney, a Laboring Man. Thomas Mahoney, a laborer, who lives on Lyon street, near Post, was taken to the Receiving Hospital about 7 o’clock yes- terday morning with his face badly cut and bruised. He said- he was going to his work along Post street, and when near Baker street four men “jumped” him. They kicked him in the face till he was nearly uncon- scious. One of them rifled his pockets of 23, - » The case was reported to the police, and Detectives Egan and Silvey were detailed on 'it. Mahoney told ‘them he did not know the men, but thought he might be able to identify one of them. e InfThis Work-a-Day World Brains and nervous systems often give way under the pressure and anxieties of business.

Agnosticlsm Discussed by Dr. Bakewelland Other Members of the Clericus. Deacon E. C. Williams read a paper on “Conditional Immortality,” which was in harmony with that on “Eternal Torment or Eterral Destruction,’”” read by Rev. F. A. Armstrong last week at the Congrega- tional Monday Club. Deacon Williams, who is the author of a work on “The World to Come,” does not believe that God contemplates eternal tor- mentin his plan of salvation, and he quoted scriptural passages at some length in support of his view. Captain Cook said he believed in immor- tality. He did not believe in annihilation, and thought the Bible did not teach it. Deacon Dexter quoted Phillips Brooks saying that the Bible does not teach the doctrine of annihilation. He thought the discussion of the question profitless. Rev. Samuel Weyler found that the Bible did teach the annihilation of evil. He thought, however, that it wasa prom- ising sign that the Boston clergymen are ng up work along the line of Christian citizenship, and San Francisco ministers incline to avoid the discussion of abstract themes. Dr. Pond thought there was nothing | scriptural to justify the doctrine of eternal torment, but that the inspired book did teach that there would be nunishment and that extended punishment. It taught also that sin is poison to the soul. Professor Foster believed that the doc- trine of annijhilation has no place in the Bible. Dr. Mooar said he would be glad to be- lieve that the sin and sorrow of the world were only temporary if he could. Dr. Williams was glad_to know that no one was compelled to believe in the dogma of endless punishment. He could not get away from it himself. Mrs. Cooper said she felt intensely on the subject. She rejoiced that the minis- ters were not teaching the doctrine of everlasting punishment. It was adoctrine the cruel could bear, but not the tender and sympathetic. Rev. Joseph Rowell said his feelings and judgment did not accord with God’s as to the disposition of the wicked, yet he could not_let that bias his conclusions after a study of the Word. : Rev. A. M. Crawford said: *“We cannot cross on the slender thread of analogy from material things to moral agents. Man is a moral agent, and is accountable for his acts. If God could annihilate he might e-tinguish every holy being with- out a reidection on his moral character; but the annihilation of a criminal would be a moral outrage. A culprit mast be pun- ished.” ‘“‘We have inherited the belief in immor- tality,” said Rev. J. W. Cruzan. “I will thank the brothers if tney will point to any passage in the New Testament that teaches it except as a reward of faith. I shrink from the thought of annihilation, yvetso I do from that of everlasting tor- ment. And do not you? Noone has said | he believed it.” We do! We do!” answered Professor Foster, Rev. W. H. Tubb and others. “Then you did not make it clear before,” said Mr. Cruzan. tev. H. H. Cole said that if he could wipe out suffering he would, and would do it quickly. Yet they existed and must be faced as existences. The Bible taught eternal punishment, but he was not pre- pared to say that meant eternal torment. Deacon Williams, in closing the debate, said that he had been instructed in the doctrine of eternal torment, but he could not reconcile it with his later Scriptural researches. Next week Rev.J. W. Cruzan will ad- dress the club on the subject of “The Trend of Religious Thought.”” Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper will be the speaker on the 30th inst. Presbyterian Union, Rev. Campbell Coyle’s paper on “Divine Healing” awakened much discussion both favorable and adverse among the mem- bers of the Presbyterian Ministerial Union. Mr. Coyle’s position is that a greater de- ree of faith on the part of ministry and aity would insure physical as well as spiritual healing. Dr. Fraser spoke of the partial view of truth held by many faith-healers, and said many of them were exceedingly in- tolerant, Dr. Minton reviewed arguments for and aFai st the doctrine, and said it was cl (;Kthed in difficulty in his mind. v. Mr. Jones thought the question of physical healing merely incidental and of secondary importance to dealing with moral disease. Yet he had observed that every great revival of faith was attended with power in the direction of physical healing. Dr.C. O. Brown took a position opposite to that of Mr. Coyle. Dr, Hemphill spoke in a half jocose way of the instancesin which the faith cure had failed. Mr. Coyle objected to ridicula of the sub- ject, which he considered sacred. He realized that there wasroom for fanat in the preaching and practice of faith healing, yet he could testify to what had been done for his body. He believed that God permits illness as a discipline. Many believed as did Dr. Fraser, who was afflicted with an infirmity, that it was God’s will that there should be suffering, yet they go to physicians to get away from God’s will. It had taken nearly 400 years to establish the doctrine of justification by faith, Divine healing would be established also after controversy. The speaker’s finale was spirited. “There are frauds about the country I know, but that is true of four out of five in the churches. If a spiritnal photograph could be made here to-day it would show nine-tenths of those nresent with cancerons and consumptive souls.” Rev, Mr. Press of Alameda will give a paper next Monday on “Reminiscences of the Life of Dr. McCosh.” The Clerious. Dr. Bakewell read a paper on ‘“Agnos- ticism” at the meeting of the clericus. His view was that God isknown by spiritual not natural cognizance. He saw no occa- sion for a conflict between faith and reason. *Revelation and science,” said he, “‘occupy different spheres, but there need be no an- tagonis Strengthening the reasoning faculties is a means of the development of faith. It is also necessary to cultivate conscience and faith and to keep the heart and life pure to strengthen and develop the reason.” A Visiting Minister. Rev. Samuel Weyler, a graduate of Yale Theological Seminary and recently pastor of a suburban church in Boston, was a visitor at the Congregational Monday Club. He is recruiting health and strength in the West. MRS, LANGTRY'S DIVORCE. The Complaint Will Be Filed in Lake County To-day. H. C. McPike of the firm of Dunn & Me- Pike goes to Lakeport to-day to file Mrs. Langtry’s complaint in divorce. Deser- tion is the {round of the suit. The “Lily’’ was naturalized here some years ago and prior to the purchase of her Lake County ranch, hence she claims that county as her legal residence and brings suit for divorce therein. The complaint is a duplicate of that drawn up_by Messrs. Howe & Hum- mel, the New York lawyers, for Mrs. Lang- try several weeks ago. It is probable the husband is a consenting party. ————————— DID NOT SHOOT STRAIGHT. Richard Daley Causes a Panic in a Steam Car, Richard Daley, who gives his occupation as a grocer, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday to answer tb the charge of as- sault to commit murder. He and a young woman were on the steam car at Baker and Greenwich streets on Sunday evening, when he took offense at the way David Musanty was looking at her. He and Musanty had some words, when Daley pulled & revolver out of his pocket and tired at Musanty. The shot went wild, but it had the effect of creating a.panic among the passengers in the car. . Daley passed the revolver to the woman and hurriedly made his exit from the car. He was shortly afterward arrested by Po- liceman Bellingham and taken to the North End station. Bellingham found the revolver in possession of the woman. The case was continued. MKTTHEW CROOKS'ESTATE Mrs. Susan Smith’s Suit Is Not Antagonistic to the Contest. The Heirs Are Willing to Give Her a Ninth Share to Hasten the Distribution. Another interesting phase 8f the Matthew and Susan Crooks estate, con- cerning which Tue CaLL had an exclusive account Sunday morning, was developed yesterday. It seems that the amended cross com- plaint of Mrs. Susan Smith, the wife of the Santa Cruz capitalist, and the contest of the will of Susan Crooks are not antag- onistic. The charges made by Mrs. Smith in her complaint—or at least some of them —are borpe out by the allegations con- tained in the complaint of the contestant. Mrs. Smith was overlooked by her mother, for the reason, as set forth in the latter’s will fthat she had married a weaithy man. ‘While both sides are contending for the same object—the speedy distribution of the estate—there is only one difference. Mrs. Smith seeks to have all prior account- ings set aside, and the contestant, Samuel Crooks, wants the will broken. According to Attorney M. C. Hassett, the setting aside of the will is calculated to bring about a speedier distribution of the property of the estate than would the de- claring of the settlement of Mrs. Smith and mother null and void. In other words, by breaking the will the prar- erty of Susan Crooks’ indivual estate would be thrown into the Matthew Crooks trust estate, and ‘the heirs, including Mrs, Smith, who was left out of her mother’s will, would the quicker come into their each one-ninth share of the property. The petition for the revacation of the will alleges the usual statutory grounds, that the testatrix was not of sound an disposing mind, and that she was unduly influenced. Under the twenty-first clause of her will she bequeaths five-eighths of her property, after some small bequests, to Mrs. J. Morffew, Colonel Newton, Stone- wall Jackson Crooks, Jonathan J. Crooks and Ida Olivia Hodgden. The remaining three-eighths of the estate isdevised to Jonathan J. Crooks, in trust for Samuel Matthew and Robert -Crooks and their children. Mr. Hassett, who is conducting the con- testlitigation, says his client is not wholly in the contest amd acdmits the icerdone by bis mother to Mrs. his sister. * If the will is set aside ill receive one-ninth of the property, the same as she did of the trust property under her father’s will. Mrs. Smith has not hesitated in the choice of phrases in speaking of the manner in which her mother induced her to sign a release or settlement. The inference of fraud is broad. But Mr, Hassett says it seems to be the desire of nearly all the heirs that the estate should be equally distributed between the children, so that harmony may be preserved and to obviate the un- pleasantexposure which would necessarily result from going into the long and troublesome trust-accounting concernin, the income received by their mother, nnfi involving hundreds of thousands of dol- lars during the last fifteen years. It is thought by some of the attorneys in the case that the trust provision is void under the late decision of Supreme Judge iHenshaw in the W. Walkerley estate. SILVER ADVOCATE COMING. Congressman Bryan of Nebraska Will Arrive Here To-Morrow. Congressman W. J, Bryan, the silver ad- vocate, will arrive here from the north to- mMOorrow. A personal letter received from him by a gentleman of this City yesterday an- nounced that he would leave Seattle on the 14th for Portland, and that he expected to reach here Wednesday., He will visit the Stanford University on that day or Thursday, and deliver an address to the students on the silver question. While in this City be will deliver addresses under the auspices of the Bimetallic League, and after leaving here he will visit Sacramento, Fresno and Los Angeles, where meetings will be arranged for him by the silver ad- vocates and bimetallists of those cities, Congressman Bryan is one of the few prominent Democrats who have taken up the silver question with ardor. He is a thorough master of his subject, and pre- sents its strong points in a fluent and for- cible way. Secretary Keeney of the Bi- metallic League will entertain the Con- gressman during his stay here, and it is quite probable the Iroquois Club will ten- der him a reception on his arrival. THE WINE WAS STOLEN." Thieves Make Away With Two Crates of California Exhibits. J. A. Filcher, secretary of the California State Board of Trade, writes from Atlanta, Ga., that when the exposition opens the California exhibit will no doubt be in place and will make a good showing. It islo- cated in the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building and it promises to be one of the most attractive exhibits in the build- ing. He has been so fortunate as to secure 100 feet more room and with this he will be able to put up all of the county stands. The county banners will be placed by their respective stands. Some of the fruit shipped from this City spoiled in transit z\m{)Mr. Filcher sent for a lot of samples of California wheat, barley, rye and oats to put in the jars. Somewhere between San Francisco and Atlanta two crates, containing six boxes of wine, were stolen. As Mr. Filcher wishes to make a special exhibit of California wines he has sent for several hundred pottles with which to make a wine pyramid. The Scissors Wielder. Lizzie Johnson, the woman who stabbed Miss Mackey with a pair of scissorsat 425 Geary street on Saturday afternoon, appeared in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning.

Many Qualint, Ancient and Interest- ing Ceremonles In the Synagogue. On Thursday, September 19, concurrent with the first day of the Hebrew month Tishri, will occur the Jewish New Year, or Rosh Hashono. According to Hebrew computation it is the five thousand six hundred and sixty-sixth year of the crea- tion of the world. The festival will commence on the even- ing of Wednesday next, and will be recog- nized by the orthodox until the evening of Friday. The Temple Emanu-Elwill, how- ever, only observe it one day, they being a reform congregation. All good Jews will, as usual, close their stores and offices, and the streets where they most do congregate will present quite a deserted appearance. ‘Whatever may be his shortcomings in re- gard to the observance of Sabbaths and the other festivals, the Israelite is always par- ticular to see that the New Year and Day of Atonement are religiously spent. ‘White, the symbol of purity, will be the prevailing color of the s’ynagogue appur- tenances. The mantel of the ark of the covenant will be of white satin. The covers of thereading desk and the pulpit will be white, and the ministers of the orthod olelnceu of worship will wear white gowns and hats. 5 Sermons will be delivered by the rabbis of the various synagogues an the first day of the festival. ~Following the biblical or- dinance, the shofar, or cornet, will be blown in the synagogue. This trumpet is fashioned out of the horn of a ram, and is blown thirty times with different intona- tions. =The ten intervening days between the ew Year and Day of Atonement are termed the ten days of penitence. The orthodox Jew will “on each of these days attend synagogue at 6 A. M. to read the Selichoth, or prayers for forgiveness. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is a day which is strictly observed by He- brews throughout the world, withont re- gard to their different shades of opinion on matters communal. From sunset on the 9th of Tisbri till sunset on the 10th the Jew is prohibited from eating any food. Itis the greatest fast day of the Jewish calendar, the others being held on the 13th day of Nigsan (the fast of the firstborn), toe 17th of Tamuz, the 9th of Aband the 10th of Tebeth, which latter are to com- ;nemorate the fall and seizure of Jerusa- em. The eve of the Day of Atonement 1s called Kol Nidre, from the two opening words of the evening meer used on the occasion. Sermons will be preached in the Temple Emanu-El by Dr. Jacob Voorsanger, in the Synagogue Sherith Israel by Rev. Jacob'Nieto, in the Temple Beth Israel by Rabbi M. 8. Levy and in the Synagogue Ohabai Shalome by Rabbi Julius Fryer. On the morning of Yom Kippur services will commence with the reading of the Shahrith, or morning prayer. Other ser- vices held continuously throughout the day are named Musaph, Mincha and Neilah. Sermons will be preached either before Musaph or before Neilah. A single blast of the cornet will announce the ter- mination of the fast. Five days after the Day of Atonement the festival of Succoth, or Booths, will.be held. | This is probably the prettiest festival in the Jewish calendar, and it is celebrated with many quaint and ancient ceremonies. It derives its name from the fact that while the Hebrews were wanderers in the wilder- ness their only dwellings were booths or tents. In commemoration of this the orthodox Jew will erect for himself a tem- porary structure, called a succoh, built of some light wood and roofed with evergreen boughs. In this frail tent he will take his meals for eight days. The synagogal ceremonies will also be of interest. Tie ministers will carry palm branches, called luloyim, and the fruit of the citron tree, called esrogim. These they will carry in their hands while chanting the Hallel, or hyms of praise. Those He- brews who are orthodox will form proces- sions in their places of worship, chanting joyful hiymns as they walk. The seventh day of Succoth is nmamed Hoshana Rabbah, *‘The Great Hosanna.” All visitors to the synagogues of the ortho- dox ‘on that morning will be presented with a small handful of willow leaves, with which they will strew the ground in imitation of the priests of old. The suc- coh is used for the last time on this day. Shemini Azereth, the feast of the eighth day, follows immediately on Hoshana Rabbah. The services on this day will not be characterized by anything of special in- terest. The prayer for rain will be offered in accordance with the custom which ob- tains in Palestine. The festivals will close with the observ- ance of 8imchat Torah—*The Rejoicing of the Law.” It is a day of general jollity and merry-making and will be kept only by the orthodox. It derives its name from the fact that the fifty-two portions in which the Pentateuch is divided are finished and recommenced by the con- servative congregations. This finishing of the last chapter of Deuteronomy and re- commencing with the .first chapter of Genesis has gone on uninterruptedly for many centuries, THE MAN WHO TRIED DEBS Paid a Long Visit to the United States Federal Judges. Judge Grosscup, who came into promi- nence during the Debs trial in Chicago, paid a visit to the Federal Judges yesterday. He first of all called upen United States Circuit Judge McKenna, and then visited District Judge Morrow. It was rumored around the building that he might sit on the bench wjth Judges Gilbert, Hawley and Morrow in the Stanford case, but he did not, owing to the fact that he was in a hurry to catch the Oregon train. His Honor has a brother who is practicing law in Washington, and he is anxious to see him. Before his departure Judge Grossch had a long chat with United States District Attorney Foote about the trial of the strikers in the District Court.
