The law proyides that the superintendent shail turn it over tothe treasurer. The only way they could get it was to name a new treasurer and have him make the demand. Director McDonald of Santa Clara is quoted as saying: “The Major made a clean breastof it. He really did not know how much he was short, and when we made known to bim the amount it simply staggered him. My opinion is that the defalcation goes back as far as 1882, Then, from what I can learn, Major Orr took a little of the money, thinking be could replace it when his monthly payday came, but did not find it convenient, and so took a little more until the sum got so large that there was no chance of saving himself, and then he dipped in pretty largely. I do not know just the sum he 13 short—the expert’s re- vort will show that—but it is something over $10,000. I think the bondsmen will have to make it good. “Major Orr was elected to serve at the pleasure of the board, and none of his sureties have ever offered 1o withdraw from the bond. We are advised by our attor- ney, Mr. Louttit, that the bond is perfectly good, and that the bondsmen are liable for the shortage. We were informed last night that the bondsmen would pay the amount of Major Orr’s defalcations with- out any trouble, but to-day have been told that some of them refuse to do so.” “Will the directors institute criminal vproceedings against the major?”’ was asked. ‘“Well, no,” said the director from Santa Clara. “Thatis for the Attorney-General to attend to. He is very busy and will probably delegate Mr. Louttit to act for him.” A DRAIS* SUDDEN PASSING. The Farmington Rancher Drops Dead in His Bedreom. S8TOCKTON, CaL., Oct. 26.—M. J. Drais, a rich rancher of Farmington, dropped dead in his bedroom this morning at 7 o'clock. Itis supposed that he had just arose from his couch. Members of the family heard bim fall and, rushing into the room, found him lying on the floor. It is supposed that death was caused by fatty degeneration of the heart. r. Drais is thought to have left about $200,000 worth of property. He came to this State in the early d. and resided near Farmington since 1852. He was 81 years of age. ELOPED FROM SEATTLE, w MRs.

PORTLAND, Oe., Oct. 26. | field of Seattle | a private detective, M. ompan: The s have then been deposited in name in local banks. As the fund was | supposed to have assumed quite large pro- | portions, it was suggested recently that | the money might be devoted to the im- | provement of the asylum. Thisled to an | inquiry as to where all the money was. | When the directors had looked into the matter they called Governor Budd into their councils and apprised him of the | si on. i | He at once employed George Honsken to | expert the books of the institution for th purpose of learning just how much money had been taken from patients. | Last Tuesday morning the directors heid a secret meeting, at which the Governor | was present. It was found that Major Orr | had filed only one bond in all his long term of office, and that was thirteen years | ago when he was first elected treasurer of | the Asylum Board, | Those who qualified on his bond were | W. H. Hewlett, T. W. Newell, L S. Bost- | wick and Frank Stewart, of whom the last w deceased. irectors held a long secret meeting his morning. James A. Louttit, the attor- ney for the board, was summoned and was | closeted with the members for over an| bour. There was an air of unrest about the o 5 Finally Supervisor Lorenz was dis- patched to town in Dr. Clark’s buggy and presently returned with James H. Hough, cashier of the First National Bank of tnis city. Mr. Hough was taken upstairs to the room in which the directors were hola- ing their executive session and some time later emerged with a commission in his | pocket as treesurer of the board of di- rectors of the State asylum. Major Orr bad been deposed from the office, as he held it subject to the pleasure of the board. The First National is the bank of deposit for the asylum funds and so Cashier Hough was selected as treasurer to look out for moneys belonging to the State in- stitution. It was thought best to depose Major Orr and elect a new treasurer, in order that the la‘ter might demand of Orr the amount due from him for money taken from patients. At the afternoon session the report of George Housken was presented. It recited among things that he had discovered in the minute-book ‘‘erasures and changes of figures’; that “discrepancies in copying reports therein and bill sheets and audit- ing committee’s reports have been altered and amounts increased or raised. Some warrants have been raised from the Con- troller of State, deposited in bank, their value drawn out and no record made in the cash or minute book.” The experts’ report takes the balances for July 1, 1892, and starts from that date. 1t shows the receipts since then to have been $765,378 14 and the disbursements $772,093 27, so that there should have been & balance in bank of $3284 87, instead of which there was actually in bank §1893 92.

Boy Sing Not Returned to China Because He Wanted to Be. Chinaman recently from the Connor Creek Judge Bellinger to-day accused of not be- ing registered. The Chinaman claimed that he was in a part of the country where he could not obtain a certificate when the registration books closed. ides, he wanted to return to China with no desire of coming back hera. Judee Bellinger said thet if he made an order for the prisoner’s deportation the Government would have to pay the cost. If the Chinaman could go at his own ex- pense that would be a better plan. After some consultation on the part of the court, and District Attorney, Judge Bellinger de- cided to continne the case and meantime allow Boy Sing to go, with the understand- ing that if he did not leave the country as he promised to do he would be rearrested and brought before the court and an order for deportation entered. A steamer sailed from Tacoma this morning. bound for China, and it was claimed in court that had not Boy Sing been arrested and detained yesterday when he came to the city he would have left on that vessel. He wss liberated on $500 bonds. This is the most peculiar deporta- tion case which has yet been brought be- fore Judge Bellinger. B e PLEADED FOR FORGIVENESS. Pathetic Letter From a Woman Kead in a Divorce Court. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 26.—Judge Stearns to-day read his decree in the sensational divorce case of Dr. George ‘Wilson against Evelyn E. Wilson. Owing to the prominence of the parties invoived and the features developed in the trial it drew a large crowd of attentive listeners, ever, is in the fund made by moneys paid in by patients. Treasurer W. B. Austin, Orr’s prede- cessor, paid over to him for account of this fund $659 11. Since then there has been collected of patients and paid to Major Orr $5863 72, which would make a total of $12,459 83. This amount has been lessened by the transfer to the contingent fund of $3190 07, and by $96745 which Treasurer Orr paid over to the estates of deceased patients. Thus the actual shortage in this fund is $8301 31, and this with the deficit of $1890 95 on the regular funds already men- tioned makes Major Orr's defalcation emount to $10,192 36. In October, 1893, Major Orr received a warrant for $220 84, according to Expert Housken, which is not accounted for, and on June 15, 1895, one for $276 62, of which Do entry appears. These sums are included in the §1890 95 mentioned above. The directors said this afternoon that and the decision was eagerly listened to. A decree of divorce was granted the plaintiff on the ground of intidelity, the custody of the children was awarded to him, the mother to see them once a month under certain judicial restrictions, and the order granting the defendant temporary alimony was annulled. In rendering the decision the court read Mrs. Wilson’s farewell letter to her hus- band, which was one of the most pathetic exhibits ever offered in a court of equity. At the conclusion of the letter there was notadryeye in the courtroom. Itevidenced the woman’s contrition, couched in ele- gant language, her heart broken at be- ing unable to rccall the thoughtless past. AR A Drowning at Fairhaven. FAIRHAVEN, Wasa., Oct. 26.—Ernest Peck, 17 years old, was drowned while duck-hunting this morning on the tide fiat in front of the city with another boy, named Parker.

GEORGE BROADBERE DEA THE LIFE OF THE WELL-KNOW] NEWSPAPER MAN GOES QuT AT STOCKTON. A MaNn WHo ONCE REFUSED a PeEnsioN OFFERED BY Ex- PREMIER GLADSTONE. STOCKTON, CaL., Oct. 26.—George E. Broadbere, one of the most widely known newspaper men on the coast, died here to- day. Mr. Broadbere had in the course of his career filled important editorial positions upon the St. Louis, New Orleans, Los An- gelos and Sacramento papers. He has possessed a wonderful fund of information, gathered during the travels of his early years. He was a warm friend of ex-Senator John G. Ingalls, and served him as private secretary during his term of office. His acquaintance with affairs at Wash- ington gave him an advantage when it came to handling the records and peculiar- ities of public men. = Mr. Broadbere was born in New York City of a good English family forty-two years ago, and as a boy spent several years in the British navy.” The cause of his death was wounds received in the service. one of which was at the engagement in the Zulu war in which the rrince Im- perial of Frarce was killed. Wilham E. Gladstone was at one time about 10 grant him a pension, but he de- clined on account of his intense American- ism. Mr. Broadbere’s jast engagement was npon the Record of this city, and he wrote several articles a_few hours before his death, while sitting in bis bed, so de- termined was he not to give up.

SACRAMENTO, CaL., Oct. 26.—The pre- liminary examination of William Christ for the alleged murder of his wife on the night of the 14th inst. ended to-day, and Christ was held without bail to answer be- fore the Superior Court on a charge of murder. Mrs. Waltheo, the aged mother of the dead woman, told of the shooting and Christ’s assertion that it was accidental. Then Mrs. Frances Hart told the old story of a woman'’s perhaps causeless jealousy. That had been the primal cause of Mrs. Christ’s death. W. C. Hart swore that the poetry in his possession, which had been found by bis wife and given to Christ, had been picked up 1n CLrist’s house. liad been written years before during the early days of their courtship. The attorney for the defense said the whole the of the presecution was based upon the allegation that Mrs. Hart had taken a vpiece of poetry to Christ; bad told him it was written to her husband by_his (Christ’s) wife; that she had excited his passions, bad created within his breast an insane, jealous rage that led to this murder. The attorney closed his argument by saying: “This witness alone is guilty of the crime, if any crime has been committed.” WALKED 00T OF THE JaIL THIRTEEN PRISONERS DELIBER- ATELY DESERTED THEIR KEEP- AT SACRAMENTO.

EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGE Caro Erothers, Wholesale Merchants, Arrested on Complaint of Mrs. Ella Sproles. A. W. Caro and I. W. Caro of the firm of Caro Brothers, importers of woolens ana | tailors’ trimmings, 723 Market street, were arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant | charging them with felony embezzlement. The complaining witness was Mrs. Ella | Sproles, 106 Eddy street. I came to the City about two weeks ago with my littledaughter,”” said Mrs. Sproles vesterday, “and became acquainted with G. F. Langtry, a tailor. I had some money in the bank and Langtry got me to agree to go into partnership with him in the tailoring business. A week ago last Friday Langtry went with me to the bank to draw out some money, and he took Mr. Caro with him to identify me. I saw them whispering to- gether, but did not think anything of it at the time. I gave Langtry $250 to buy some goods from Caro Brothers and lease a store. “Langtry bought $300 worth of goods from them, but as he did not call to see me again 1 became suspicious and went to Caro Bros. last Tuesday. They told me Tangtry had bought the goods and had paid $200 on account. He had left the City, and they were to forward the goods to him as soon asthey heard from him. I told them the goods were bought with my money and they must not ship the goods to him but deliver them to me. They re- fused, and I put the matter in the hands of an attorney, who attached the gooas. Caro Bros. afterward told me tnat Langtry only paid them §150, but had ssked them to tell-me be nad paid $200. They also showed me a telegram they had got from Langtry from Los Angeles, which read: *Have arrived O. K. Send goods on im- mediately.” I am now left almost penni- less and only want justice.” | Caro Bros. said that Langtry bought and aid for the goods, and that was all they Encw about it. They did not know Mrs. Sproles in the transaction at all. A MASHER CANED. Osman Dey Publicly Thrashed by an Angry Husband. The crowd on the corner of McAllister and Jones streets, about 9 o’clock last night, witnessed the administering of cor- poral punishment to a masher by an angry husband. Osman Dey had been using his blandish- ments upon a lady who was waiting on the corner for her husband. As soon as he appeared she told him of what had hap- pened and pointed to Dey. The husband carried a csme, an¢ walking up to Dey he strack him three rapid blows across the face with it, remarking: “You scoundrel, vou would insult g wife, would you?” e made the bloed BA~ from Dey’s nose. Dey, after the tkird blow, rushea north on Jones street us fast as he could, fol- lowed by the jeers of the crowd, while the lady and her husband walked quietly along Market street.

SENTENCED IN ADVANCE. JUDGE GUERRERO Y PORRES' DE- CISION PREPARED BEFORE THE TRIAL. ARGUMENTS OF NO AVAIL FRIENDS OF THE IMPRISONED MAN Now SEEKING FOR AID IN ENGLAND. SAN DIEGO, Cav, Oct. 26.—Word was received from Ensenada to-day that Hon. Jose Monroy, Judge of the District Court, has been summarily removed from office on orders from the City of Mexico, and that his office has been turned over tempo- rarily to E. Romero, an Ensenada mer- chant. Judge Monroy is popular with Americans and other foreigners, whom he has treated with great fairness in all mat- ters coming before him, and thev are ata loss to account for the Government’s action. he other Judge, Guerrero y Porres, is alleged to be rabidly prejudiced against foreigners, and bis sentence of Seymour Jackson, the English cashier of Godbe’s bank, to six years and nine months’ im- prisonment and §$1000 fine for the alleged robbery of the bank, when no evidence whatever was adduced to prove Jackson guilty, has been held as grossly unjust, and it 1s believed the Supreme Court will lose no time in reversing his decision. It was learned vesterday that after the argument pro and con on the Jackson case was heard by Judge Gurrero y Porres, he said he would take fifteen minutes to de- cide the case. He retired and soon ap- peared with a manuseript from which he proceeded toread his decision. It had been prepared beforehand and indicated how much the Judge was influenced by the argument. Jackson’s friends are working in London and the City of Mexico, and hope soon to have a decision from the Supreme Court ordering his liberation. Hon. E. Allsopp, a brother of Lord Hindlip, director of the Mexican Land and Colonization Company, and having greal influence in Mexico his connection with the English has become enlisted in half. He fs now at Ensada, and will visit the City of Mexico before re- turning to England. Sere POACHERS DRIVEN ovUrT. Guano Smuggling Off the Lower Califor- nia Coast at an End. SAN DIEGO, Cir., Oct. 26.—The bus ness of gnano poaching off the Lower Cali- fornia coast, which has proved profitable to over a dozen schooners of this port, is about to cease, through the efforts of the Custom-house here and the Mexican Land and Colonization Company, holder of the concession for gathering guano. Small schooners from this port have been run- ning down and getting loads of guano, which were sold here at $12and $15 per ton, netting good profits. The company sent its steamers after these schooners, and by the co-operation of the Mexican customs officials, captured two men who are now in jail awaiting trial. The company announced thsat roy- alty must be paid or vigorous pursuit will be given to all poachers. This did not seem to deter the schooners at all, but this week Collector Fisher here has enforced an old regulation reqniring the owners of s¢hooners to show clearance papers from Ensenada on all cargoes val- on guano for the purpose of enforcing the law. The schooner San Mateo is tied wp in consequence, and its 5ki¥per has bad to give a bond in lieu of clearance papers. Small vessels will therefore be driven out of the business, as if they ¢o into Ensenda for clearance, the port dues and royalty will eat up their profits. Larger vessels are now going into the business on a legitimate basis, and a good-sized industry is being developed. The schooner Mc- Pherson, of 150 tons burden, is the first large schooner to go into the trade. ALONG THE WATER FRONT. A Rock That Has Been Searched for Over Eleven Years. Two deaths at sea, the cargo shifted dur- ing a hurricane and a series of calms delaying the vessel nearly a month is the record of the British ship Carnedd Liewel- lyn, which arrived from Liverpool yester- day afternoon. On the 5th inst. Frank Kervella, a sea- man, aged 43 years, died of consumption. He was fairly well when the ship left Liv- erpool, but the cold of the Horn was too much for him and he took to his bed. Everything possible was done for him, but without avail. It was only a few days after Kervella had been consigned to the deep that Richard O'Brien was found to be dangerously ill. He died on the 19th, in sight of land almost, and was buried at sea. O’Brien was a native of St. Johns, N. B.. and Kervella was a native of France. It was on July 13 that the Carnedd Llewellyn encountered the hurricane. The seas broke over ber continuously, and everything movable orm deck was washed away, the cabin was flooded and several of the men were injured. The heavy rolling of the ship caused the cargo to shift, and after the storm was over it took the crew considerable time to get the vessel on an even keel. It took the Carnedd Llewellyn eleven days to round the Horn. The British ship Helga from Swanse arrived a few hours ahead of the Carned: Llewellyn, although she was seven days longer in making the run. The record of the vovage was a succession of caims and light gales. She was off Cape Horn twenty- one days. 3 The arrival of these two ships after long passages has given a spirit to reinsurance, and the list of overdue vessels was eagerly scanned yesterday. Therates of reinser- ance, now being paid, is as follows: Ster of Austria, from Santa Rosalis for Eng- 1and, 90 per cent: IA)rdSSSencer. from Sen Fran- cisco to Queenstown, 80 per cent; Lady Law- rence, from Newcastle, N. 8. W., to Valparaiso, 55 per_cent: Noddleburn, from Newcastle to Tocopille, 75 per cent; Soudan, Cardiff to Cal- 1a0, 30 per cent: Ancona, Astoria to Queens- town, 8 per cent; Earl of Hopetown, Vancouver to Adelaide, 40 per cent; Nordiyset, the Clyde to San Francisco, 20 per cent, and Casabona, Clyde to San Francisco, 20 per cent. All these vessels are well known ‘in San Francisco, and much fear for their safer is entertained -in shipping circles. Still the gambiers are willing to take risks, and considerable money has been placed on them during the past few days. The United States Hydrographic Office issued the following notice yesterday : Lieutenant J. H. Sears, U. 8. N., commanding coast survey steamer McArthur, has been for some time making special examination of the ued at over $100, value of $100 being placed | Mile Rock, Point Lobos Chennel, and has | finally located a pinnecle rock, first reported | by M2, Westdahl of the Cosst Survew in 1884, | from a single sounding, never verified until | the afternoon of October 25, 1895 (yesterday), | when by using a drag tbe rock was hooked on | 10 ana located, Its position is given by Lieu- tenant Sears as follows: 300 yerds southsouth- | east from Mile Beock, placingit nearly in center of chennel betsweeu the Foint Lobos shore and | Mile Rock, with & depth of thirteen and a half | Ieet at meun low water. !

The steamer was carried | away by the current and try as they would the officers could not locate that rock | again.

In his weakness! st Man is not what he L_”S was. He is not what he should be, and woman, realizing his weakness, is making very commendable efforts to usurp the crown of superiority. Shame upon our manhood—rather the lack of it. The curse of a nation is the weakness of its men. More energy, more nerve, is needed. ° Excesses and dissipation have played havoe with the nerves of the men of to-day. That man may be more manly and woman more womanly is the aim of Dr. A. T. Sanden, author of the famous book, “ Three Classes of Men.” A pocket edition of this famous work can be had free upon application at the office or by mail, sealed. It also gives proof of the wonderful cures performed by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. Call or address SANDEN ELECTRIC CO., 632 MARKET ST., OPPOSITE PALACE HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO.
