The Popular Professor Lald to Rest With Eulogies and Tender Farewells. James G. Kennedy, the | pished himself in Cali- ator, took place ) day afternoon from the F Church, Franklin and Geary streets. Friends of the dead professor crowded the church until every pew was filled with people who had known or loved him in life. It was noticeable that principals and teachers of nearly all the schools in San Francisco were present, and besides there were large numbers of pupils, particularly from the Normal School, where Mr. Ken- i nedy was principal. The services were of a very simple order, vet impressive and es affecting. | They consisted of appropriate singing by | the choir, an address by Samuel M. Short- | ridge and a prayer by Rev. Horatio Steb- | bins, pastor of the church. The pulpit and the space around it were literally hidden with utiful flowers from the floor to the lectern, where the great | st Unitarian | ti at Bible lay clusters of falling, fra- | grant exotic on a table directly in | front of the pulpit were placed some most exquisite floral large vase of white-pea blos s and white | roses, hold ster lilies and ed with fine ferns, | stood for’ a cente .

As a re- | sult of this long acquaintance I bowed to him asa thinker, I admired him as a teacher, I loved him as a man. Who and what was James G. Kennedy? He was a brave man—one who dared to utter his honest- thoughts and to follow truth whither- soever her footsteps led. He was a true man—true to his friends, true 10 his duties, and, therefore, true to himself, He was & generous man—generous in thought, in sympathy and in acts, unselfish end free. He was & loyal man yal 10 his family, which he adored, to his State, which he loved, 10 his country for which he offered himself to die. He was an honest man—honest to friend and foe, honest. to himself, not unminaful of hisown shortcomings or of the finiteness of hisown wisdom. He was an absolutely fear- Jess man; ne walked the path of peace and ever turned away from storm. He was & help- jul man to all who were in sore need, to all who hungered for knowledge, searched for truth, groped for light, and his strong hands have ever stretched out to-the boy or girl, how- T poor or ragged or outcast, who looked to or help. He was a cheerful man; his le cheered all who came within its eircle; his word was the word of hope, of encourage- ment; his coursel was for improvement, ior well-directed eulture, for progress. He was a hopeful man, oh, how hopeful! Not for himself, but for those he loved, and he loved humanity. He was a student of history; he knew its pages, blurred with man’s follies and crimes, and wet with_his blood; he was femiliar with the long hard struggle of man- kind from darkness tolight, from universal slavery to universal freedom, and he saw in the future progress, liberty and peace for all mankind. For nearly thirty years he was th true and faithful servant of the State. He had received his preliminary, or rather preparatory education from the State, and he repaid her & thousandfold. He wasa fountain of learning, copious end unfailing, and gave only to retain the more. He stood erect above all fog and fear, and fixed his_eye on scientific truth, which, to him, was always beautiful. He was in love with nature; the story of the rocks he kuew, the legend of the forest, the mystery of the sea, the sublime science of the stars. “His greu mind took 1n the whole range of science, ut I think he most loved those which deal with large, sublime truths, such as astronomy and natural philosophy. His work is done: he sought to benefit man- kind, and his whole being, his heart, his soul, was in his work. If sympathy can assuage the suffering and pain of the stricken heart we offer it in full measure to the widow and the fatherless. The departed father and husband has left to them the priceless legacy of & char- acter unstained and a reputation untarnished. And so here in this sacred eanctuary light ‘we utter these last words of love. Bear him gently, bear him tenderly to the restful couch ol eternal sleep. He lies now in slumber. He | foul t | hand upper cut to advantage. {and which, afte; will be borne to rest by loving hands. His eye- lids are closed. The bright eye beams not npon us now, but the spirit, the soul—that which thought and that which loved, that which hoped and that which sorrowed-—it is not dead. Coid in the grave the perished heart may lie, But that which warmed it once can never dle. And so, dear friend, loving teacher, honest, faithful, noble heart, we bid you farewell. Farewel!! a word that must be and hath been— sound that makes us linger; yet, farewell. t the conclusion of the address Rev. Stebbins recited a prayer over the Mr. casket and the choir sang ‘‘Nearer, My God, to Thee.” At the close of the hymn all present passed down the center aisle and saw the dead face in the coffin. Mrs. Kennedy and her family spent some time beside their dead, after which the body borne to Cypress Lawn Cemetery, where the interment was attended only by the family and most intimate friends of the deceased. The pallbearers were: R.D. Fanlkner, W. H. Edwards, J. T. Hamilton, J. L. Crittenden, J. W. Rea of San Jose, Ira G. Hoitt, I. B. White and J. W. Welsh. FIHT WON O A UL, How Hawkins Defeated Ro- chette at the Colma Ath- letic Club. A Fight Which Was Interesting Untll the Referee Gave His Decision. Dal Hawkins defeated Charley Rochette et the Colma Athletic Club last evening on what Referee Young Mitchell consid- ered a deliberate foul. Be that as it may, it was noticed by many of the most inter- ested spectators that the referee failed to ke into consideration a most deliberate at was performed by Hawkins in the early rounds of the fight, when Pugilist Hawkins butted Rochette in the groin with his knee. Many thought that if a just consideration of facts was taken by the referee, he should ‘have properly de- cided, when Rochette flung Hawkins on the floor, that both fouls evened up mat- ters, and that the contest should continue until a just decision could be rendered. The contest by rounds was as follows: In the first round Rochette landed a very preity left-hander at long range and drew blood. Presently Hawkins landed on Rochette’s elongated nose and the blood flew. Good stiff exchanges followed, and Rochette’s nose was blesding freely when round closed. Honors were even so far. In the second round Rochette landed a good right on Hawkins' ribs, but the latte? Temained coo! and waited for his opponent, Rochette rushed Hawkins to the ropes. Rochette constantly kept his eyes on his opponent’s feet, which somewhat puzzied Hawkins. In some sharp exchanges Hawkins landed his left frequently on Rochette’s nose, but the latter was game and fought y inch of ground. In the third round Rochette opened by plunging at his opponent and landing some good stiff body punches. A rally followed and Rochette retreated to Haw- kins’ corner. The latter followed up quickly, but Rochette cleverly ducked a wicked swing. Hawkins was using his left In the fourth round Hawkinswas the aggressor and Rochette timed distance | badly and was swinging wildly. Hawkins ducked several wild swings and Rochette was growing weak and_ducking :o avoia punishment. In the rally near the end of the round, Rochette fell with Hawkins on top. E‘n the fifth round Rochette’s nose was bleeding freely from left hand crooks or upper cuts. Hawkins caught Rochette near the ropes with his knee below the belt and the Jatter bent over in pain. The fight was resumed and Hawkins had much the best of it. The referee would not allow a foul. Sixth round—Fast fighting was resumed and Hawkins was punishing Rochette se- verely. In a rally Rochette ot Hawkins down and feil on top of him. Toward the finish of the round Rochette landed two | or three good right hand swings on Haw- | kins' neck. In the seventh round Rochette surprised Hawkins’ friends by the good work he ac- complished. His ducking was very clever, and if anything, he had the better of the round. Hawkins made a desperate attempt to knock his opponent out in the eighth round, but Rochette landed blow for blow, d at the termination of a. hot rally he ught Hawkins around tne neck and pitched him on the floor, Hawkins’ fore- head striking the carpet. The referee im- mediately decided that a deliberate foul had been committed by Rochette, and gave his decision favor of Hawkins. THE OASHIER IS GONE. J. C. Siedenberg Abandons His Family and Insurance Company. J. C. Siedenberg of 2006 Union street, bookkeeper and acting cashier of the San Francisco branch of the Fidelity and Cas- ualty Company, has disappeared, and neither his family nor any one connected with the company know anything of his whereabouts. Last Saturday afternoon he left the com- pany’s office on Sansome street, and the next heard of him was on Monday, when Mrs. Siedenberg came to the office and asked S. C. Pardee, the general manager, for information about him. Mrs. Sieden- berg said he had taken two of the children to the matinee at one of the theaters, and that afterward he gave them money to pay their streetcar fare, saying: “Good-by; vou will never see me again.” Mr. Pardee, to a CALL reporter, said: “\When Mrs. Siedenberg came to my office end made inquiries about her husband I | natvrally suspected something was wrong and immediately began an examination of his accounts, and besides gave notice to the Fiaelity and Deposit Company that is on his bond for $2000. The first discrep- ency I discovered was that two checf{’s from the company in New York, drawn in my favor for $12 25 and $10 43 respectively, ndorsing them, I had given to Mr. Seidenberg to deposit in the | Anglo-Colifornia Dank, nad been cashed at that bank. The proceeds were not de- posited to our account. Foreign checks may be cashed at the exchange desk, and as the checks were indorsed he had no trouble getting the money. Further in- vestigation shows that since September 1 last Mr. Siedenberg’s books have been | kept very loosely, and asyet I cannot state the extent of his irregularities, but will be able to do 0 in & few days.” T0O HURRY THE CANAL. William Craig Is Chosen Special Gov- ernment Attorney to Dispose of the Cohen Appeal. A dispatch from Washington, D. C., yes- terday announced the appointment of Wil- liam Craig of the law firm of Craig & Meredith of this City as special United States attorney in the Oakland tidal canal matter. Mr. Craig was designated by Attorney-General Harmon at the request of W. B. English, Surveyor of the Port, District Attorney Foote making an appli- cati;‘)n in accordance with Mr. English’s wish. The work of opening the tidal canal from San Leandro Bay to the Oakland estuary was begun twelve years ago, but was stopped by the refusal of A. A. Cohen of Alameda to take the condemnation money the commission offered him for his land through which the canal was to run. The nspeal of Mr. Cohen has been in the United States Supreme Court for about eleven years, e Cloth binding superseded boards and vel- lum about 1831, A WITNESS FOR DURRANT. R. W. Martland to Give Im- portant Testimony for the Defense. ON GAS AND ELECTRICITY. He WIIl Show the Probabllity that the Accused Was Partially Asphyxlated. One of the most important witnesses who will testify for the defense in the Dur- rant trial is Robert W. Martland of 2514 Sutter street. Heis the manager of the Pacific Electrical Contracting Company. Mr. Martland is an expert electrician and gasfitter. He will be called to the wit- ness-stand to prove that a person per- forming the work on the sum-burners of Emmanuel Baptist Church, which Dur- rant is alleged to have done, and in the manner in which it is alleged he did 1it, might very easily have been asphyxiated or partially so. Mr. Martland will not will rely on the testimony of these wi nesses to establish the fact that he must have been overcome by gas. The paper uvon which Rev. J. George Gibson wrote his own name and that of George R. King and Professor Schernstein, at the suggestion of General Dickinson during Durrant's preliminary examina- tion, and which was thought to have been lost from the exhibits of the defense, has been found, together with two other speci- mens of Dr. Gibson’s writing, in which the names of King and the professor appear. They will be introduced by the defense among the exhibits by which they will endeayor to _show the similarity between Dr. Gibson’s chirography and that found on the newspaper wrapper in which Blanche Lamont’s rings were returned to Mrs. Noble. Among the former classmates of Dur- rant who have been subpenaed to testify for the defense are: C. Q‘. Cross, Gilbert F. Graham, R. H. Carter, Stephen Wythe, H. Waters and E. O. Campbell. They will be expected to establish Durrant’s good | standing among his énsocint% at college and to assist in proving his presence at Dr. During the afternoon session of court Cheney's lecture. | | yesterday Mrs. Annie Gray, residing on | Howard street, was overcome by excite- | ment and the heat of the courtroom and siad to be carried out. She had insisted on remaining to get a look at the prisoner after she found the stifling atmosphere and the surroundings were too much for her nervous temperament, and, as a result, fainted.

In Mr. Deuprey’s opening statement on Wednesday he said with reference to his client: “We will show you he arrived at the church at five minutes to 5, and not before, that he entered by the door on the south side, that he went_ into the library in re- gard to a book and a card he wanted. He removed his coat, neatly folded it, took out his watch, so that it woula not fall out while he was fixing the gas jets, felt if he bad the nippers. He went to the easterly end, retraced his steps and went up to the ceiling by way of the ladder through the hole in the ceiling, He then went and fixed the sun-burners.” The defense expects to prove Durrant PZ % S e,zmskoflm R fag Specimens of Rev.

It1s on what followed this point of the defense that Mi. Martland’s testimony will bear. As an expert he has been em- ployed by the defense to make an investi- gation of the lighting apparatus of the church, particularly that portion pertain- ing to the sun-burners. He has made measurements and prepared a drawing showing the posture the defendant must have been in to accomplish what he claims to have done, together with all the details attendant upon such repairing. Mr. Martland will testify that the gas == Fac-simile of the Writing of Rev. J. George Gibson, Written at the Pre- liminary Examination of Durrant.

The attorneys for ghe directors of the Pa- cific Bank, Messrs. Sawyer and Burnett, entered a general denial yesterday ip the matter of the order to show cause why the members of the present board should not be ousted from their positions. They were cited by P. F. Dundon, a de- positor, who alleges that they are not try- ing to compel tbe McDonalds, the original managers of the institution, to give up the money which they are alleged to have plundered from the bank. The attorneys for the directors claimed that the records of the court would show that the settlement of the affairs of the bank was being pusbed along as rapidly as circumstances would permit. They said that the liabilities had been reduced one- third, and that the directors expected to wipe out the entire indebtedness. Attorney Clunie for the depositors called the secretary and manager, J. E. Farnum, to the stand and questioned him regarding the methods emp‘]uye(l in settling up the affairs of the bank, and asked whether he had brought the books of the institution. Ve will not need them if you will ad- mit that the wreck was brought about by the former board of directors,” he said. “We are not here to make admissions,” interposed the attorney for the directors, “we stand on the pleadings.” It was agreed to have the books at the afternoon session and Mr. Farnum was uestioned regarding the manner in which the John Brown colony was mixed up in the affairs of the bank. He stated that $278,000 had been loaned, all the security for which that he could find was $50,000 worth cf land. The attoruey tried to show by the testi- mony of the mandger that the character of the securities accepted by R. H. McDon- ald Jr., while manager of the bank, had not been of the best. The manager pleaded ignorance of many of the details of the matter, and was ordered to produce the books, from which it was expected the in- formation would be obtained. As both sides were not ready to proceed when the afternoon session was called, the case wentfover until next Monday, when the books and accounts will probably be | placed in evidence. EXTORTION ALLEGED. A Discharged Bookkeeper of Major McLaughlin of Oroville Charged ‘With the Offense. Clarence P. Thorne was arrested yester- day by Detective Ross Whittaker and Policeman O. C. Phillips on the charge of petty larceny, and taken to Oroville by Sheriff Dooley, where a felony charge of attempting to extort money will be pre- ferred against him. On September 1 the bookkeeper and stenograpber of Major McLaughlin, the mining millionaire, ‘was taken sick, and upon recommendation of friends Thorne was. appointed in his place. After two weeks’ trial Thorne’s services was dis- pensed with, and he received $30 in excess of his salary as compensation for his sum- mary dismissal. Thorne came to this City and sent a let- ter to the m:jor asking for a loan of $25, which was refused. He wrote another let- ter demanding $250 for the return of cer- tain documents which he had in his pos- session. McLaughlin made an investiga- tion, and found that Thorne had kept copies of private correspondence and taken with him a book containing steuofi:anhic revorts and enother valuable book. He immediately wired to Chief Crowley to arrest Thorne. The case was pui in the hands of Detec- tive Whittaker and Policeman Phillips. They watched the general delivery box at the Postoffice, and when Thorne called tnere they placed him under arrest. ————————— Men on the Bay.

Dingee and Hobart Fall to Appear—No Sureties Ac- cepted Yet. The attorneys for the defendants in the Hale & Norcross snit made an effort to have the bond on appeal accepted yester- day afternoon, but failed to succeed be- cause those most interested did not thor- oughly convince County Clerk Curry of their eligibility to gualify in the sum of 520,000, which is required to cover the judgment of $260,000. It was expected that William J. Dingee of Oakland and W. S. Hobart would ap- pear to qualify, but when the attorneys got together in the County Clerk’s office both failed to show themselves, Mr. Ho- bart because of injuries received in a recent accident, and Mr. Dingee for some unex- vlained reason. C. D. Lane was substituted, and stated when questioned that he was worth over $1,000,000. “Is there any doubt about that?” asked the attorney for the defendants. “None whatever,”” was the answer, “I am worth that over and above debts and liabilities and property exempt from exe- cution.” Cross-examination developed the fact that he was a one-third owner in the Utica mine at Angels Camp, one of the best pay- ing properties i the State. He valued his interest in the Utica mine at $1,000,000. He was one of the original purchasers of the mine, and one-third of the property stood in his name. The Utica Company owns the Utica, Stickle, Madison, Raspberry, Jackson and Brown mines. He stated that for several years past his income from his share of the Utica had been $20,000 to $45,000 a month, and that he was also owner of a half interest in a mine in Alaska with a thirty-stamp miil producing gold at a profit, and seven- twentieths of the Mayflower mine at Ne- vada City, also producing gold. It was worth $250,000 at !east, and he believed his interest was worth that. He also owned the Gaston Ridge mine in Nevada County. It cost him about $12,600. He was questioned as to the profits of the Maytiower mine. With four stamps crushing 240 tons of ore a_month, the net profits had been from $1000 to $2000. Other property he described as a mine bonded in Arizona for $150,000, which gives ore assaying about $42 to the ton. His mine in Alaska be thought was worth $500,000, and he declared if he owned it all he would not sell for less than $1,000,000. Returning to the Utica he said that the rest of the mine outside his share belunged to Alvinza Hayward and the Hobart estate. He claimed that there was still enough ore in sight to run the mine for from six to twelve years. The attorney for the plaintiffs claimed that the statement was not satisiactory to his clients, and that they should te aliowed to look at the books of the Utica to see whether they bore out Mr. Lane's state- ments. To this Alvinza Hayward objected strenuously, but County Clerk Curry said that the request was justand proper and that he would not accept Mr. Lane as a surety unless he was allowed to examine the books. The case was then put over until Monday, when the books and other papers of Mr. Lane’s showing his financial | standing will be produced. It is expected that Mr. Hobart will ap- pear at that time and qualify, in which case the bond will be issued. PROFESSIONAL - BEGEING The Case of Frank Lambert—A Strong, Able-Bodied Young Man. He Is Able to Keep His Famlly In Comfortable Circumstances in Oakland. The district bounded by Montgomery, Battery, Clay and Sutter streets has for a long time been inftested with beggars. They have different stories to tell, but all finish up in the same way with a request for 10 cents to buy a cup of coffee. There are deserving cases among them, but many are not. One case in particular will be heard in Judge Conlan’s court to- morrow morning, which is of more than usual interest. The defendant is Frank Lambert, a strong, able-bodied man, 25 years of age, who gives his occupation as a printer. He was arrested on last Friday afternoon at Sutter and Market streets by Policeman T, P. Walsh for begging. Walsh caught him while he was soliciting for 10 cents to buy a cup of coffee. When taken to the California-street station and searched $1 05 was found in his pockets. The case was called in Judge Conlan’s court Saturday morning and Lambert, who was repre- sented by an attorney, asked for and obtained a continuance till last Wednes- day, when, at his request, it was again con- tinued till to-morrow. Policeman Walsh has been on Lam- bert's trail for months, but he was too wary to allow himself to be caught. He is a plausible talker and has all the tricks of the professional beggar. Walsh found that Lambert lived in Oakland and was the owner of a commutation ticket. He crossed over to the City every morning, except Sundays, and returned after the banks and wholesale houses were closed for the day. On Sundays he spent the day with his family. Men who have been importunecd by him declare that they have seen him on Sundays in Oakland walking with a well-dressed woman, who is his wife, and with a little girl. Lambertop these occa- | sions was attired in a fine suitof clothes, white tie and silk hat. Thesame men had seen him crossing and recrossing the bay on weekdays in shabby clothes. B = Senator Beard a Winner. Benator John L. Beard of Alameda County is a winner. At the State Fair in Sacramento he ‘won $40 in coin and a diploma on his Warm Springs wine. The products of his vineyard won the first prize for claret, first for port, first for sweet muscat, and first for golden Chasselas. The judgesdid not award by labels, but by tests of quality. As a couniy Alameda re- joices in the trivmph, ard as a wine producer Senator Beard himselt is happy. He did not g0 to the fair in person, but entered five cases of wine for competition. — e James Wants Ris Money. J. G.
