DIED PROTECTING A FRIEND. Grocer F. G. Eickhorst Recognizes the Footpad’s Portrait in Chief Crow- ley’s Rogue’s Gallery. The murderer of Augustus Neville in F. is known to the police and there is jittle | doubt of his early capture. The descrip- tion given of the tall man, who, according to Eickhorst, was the only one who had a G. Eickhorst’s grocery-store Sunday night | ard upsetting of chairs. Immediately after this the patter of the feet of the mur- derous pair was heard outside as they made their escape. Nero, the big white-and- black New- foundland dog belonging to Neville, was with him in the grocery-store bar- room. He lay quietly beside the stove while his master read paper at the bar counter, and paid little attention to the two men who, on murder bent, lined up on either side of his master. The scuflle disturped him, but the shooting and his master’s fall simply frightened the brute into a wild burst of speed down Greenwich street toward his home. From the account given by Mrs. William Galvin, who lives a few doors east of the Nevilles on Greenwich street, it was a question of whether the murderers or the dog was coming fastest. She explains the matter this way: “You see, I heard the pistol shot, and as my husband, who works in the gashouse down there” (pointing toward the beach) “‘was out, I went out myself to see what was the matter. Sure enough, I knew then there was something wrong, fordown came the do : running fit to kili himself on this side of the street, and the two men | running down on the other. The dog jumped clean over the fence, and the men turned down Steiner street. That was just a little after 11 o’clock last night.” i Shortly before 11 0'clock, a stranger, with t n .ALFEED AUGUSTUS NEVILLE, WHO DIED TRYING TO SAVE HIS FRIEND.

As I withdrew into the back room to draw the beer I noticed { him leaning over the counter and watch- |ing me. Being somewhat frightened, I cafied out loud, ‘Frank!

This seemed to make the fellow get back to his proper after drinking a sip of his beer and getting four nickels in change, he left { the place. The shooting, as I heard it, occurred about fifteen minutes later. Upon hearing it I went outside, and I saw Neville’s dog running down the street and the man with the slouch hat running down | Steiner street. He was nearly at the corner Ei_ Lombard street, where another man met im.” SubsequeN to this the same man, ap- parently, judeing from the description given, reached the southeast corner of | Greenwich and Fillmore streets, where, in arush, he entered the saloon and grocery- store of James Early. The latter, his wife and a young woman friend were the only | place, and, | ones in the place. “Give me something sour,” the fellow muttered.

But the grocer’s grati- tude seems to have developed at an inverse ratio to his scare, and there is nothing now that he wouldn't do for the widow and three little children of the murdered man. He was busy yesterday afternoon mak- ing the heart-broken woman as easy as Fnssible in her distress, and, with H. E. >rant, a mutual friend, relieving her of ail those funeral details which go to make death sadder. “'Not as long as Ilive,” said the grocer, “shall T see that poor woman and her babies want for anything I can give them. Their husband and father was my friend, and, now that I can look over the situa- tion in a calmer way, I can see how the poor fellow was killed in defending me. “When I bobbed under the counter and got to the door soas to get outinto the yard, the big man with his pistol was on poor Neville’s left-hand side and the shorter man was to his right. Neville must have grappled with the big fellow when he saw him level his pistol at me, for I heard him shout ‘Don’t do that!’ Probably the fellow was apout to shoot me at that moment. Then there was a scuffle during - which some chairs were upsetf. That was the first noise heard by my clerks upstairs. The fellow who was with the murderer had no pistol that I counld see, but he must have seized Neville from the rear, causing him to tnrn, when the big man fired the fatal shot.” s From Eickhorst's statement, likewise tLose of George Crandall and Albert Hofen, clerks of the store, who slept upstairs in the lonely house, the sho_onnli- occurred almost simultaneously with the scuffle uick I he exclaimed, in way of an answer. e then rushed out. That Chief Crowley and his men feel satisfied that the man whose picture in the | rogues’ gallery is the one who murdered eville is evinced by the fact that no detention of suspects bas been made, al- | though the neighborhood in which the deed was committed is patroled nightly by | a rather hard set. The Chief is content with simply having it announced to the various police squads at muster that all suspicious characters must be brought in, eg‘wcially those answering the following official description. No. 1, aged about 25 years,5 feet 8 inches, weight 150 pounds, slim build, thin features, | high cheek bones, small sandy mustache, wore | dark single-breasted sack coat, dark vest and black slouch hat. No. 2, aged about 24 years,5 feet 7 inches, weight about 150 pounds, slim build, full face, | black mustache, wore dark clothes, black slholu:h hat and supposed to have worn a white shirt. Mrs. Neville, the widow of the murdered man, learned last evening for the first time that she will receive no benefits from the United Order of Workmen, as her hus- band ceased paying his dues many months ago. This leaves the poor wgman and her children entirely destitute. H. E. Grant of the northwest corner of Scott and Filbert streets, for whom young Neville did some work recently, has taken charge of his funeral and promises to look after his family. Mr. Eickborst will also do_his share, he says. Neville's funeral will take place from Craig, Cochran & Co.’s undertaking parlors. No time has yet been nxed for.the Coro- ner's inquest. AT THE CITY PLAYHOUSES, “The Governor,” in His Debut at the Alcazar, Thoroughly Enjoyed. S o A NEW “ROSE” AT MOROSCO'S. Second Week of “ Wang” at the Bald- win—* War of Wealth "—Other Theaters. The brilhant and fashionable audience that greeted De Wolf Hopper and his company on the first night’s presentation of the second week of “Wang” is proof that the burletta is a taking one. The charming dances, the catchy airs and the witty sayings were as thoroughly enjoyed last night as they were the first night they were introducea at the Baldwin. The tall regent of Siam created a fund of amuse- ment that pleased the audience, and Edna Wallace-Hopper was as pleasing as ever. There is no doubt but that “Wang’ will, despite the many attractions elsewhere, continue to fill the Baldwin each night during the weelk. Next Monday evening the tall singer will place “Dr. Syntax” before the public and he will assume the character of a zood- natured pedagogue in_a charming village of England, and one of the tasks he under- takes is that of making every one happy. This production is said to be replete with solos and duets that are felching, while the choruses are in the vein that pleases the people. ” The Celifornia Theater. That finished melodrama, “The War of Wealth,” entered upou its second week at the California Theater last night. ThLe perform- ance is one that deserves acrowded house every night, for the language is good, the performers Jetter periget and the incidents, while start- ling, are ndt exaggerated. Itis a play that has much merit in it, and those who assume the principal characters portray them well. The audience that witnessed the pergormance on Sunday night was one of the largest that have been seen in this theater for many years. The *“War of Weelth” will be followe Monday night by Herrmann, the world-re- nowned magician, who during his engagement next will present many novelties in the line of mys- tery. Among these will be “Trilby,” “The Spray of Life"—au nilegorical aquatic illusion thatis said to be estraordinarily brilliant in conception and wonderful in execution—and “The Artist’s Dream.” Grover's Alcazar, The three-act comedy, “The Governor,” pre- sented at Grover's Aleazar last night was greeted by an audience that enjoyed to the fullest this comedy of errors that has been al- Tuded to as ‘“the London ‘go.’” If it was a “go” across the water It certainly ought to prove a ‘“go” in this City, for it is in ‘fact one ~of the most amusing plays that have cver been presented fo a San Francisco audience. The scene is laid in England and the plot is based on the fact that a bashful young man wants to marry the daughter of A partisily deaf man who, having named a yacht for his daughter, gets things ixed and believes that the suitor wants to his boat, and this brings about a series of mistakes that it would puzzle the most astute to straighten out. The situations are ex- tremely funny and each excites the risibilities of the audience to the utthost. Leonard Grover Sr.as Theodore Macclesfield, the deaf boatman, was capital, and in the presentation gave the correctness of the proof of laudatory notices he received in other cities. Miss Jennie Kennark was good as the daugh- ter of the boatman. Herewara Hoyte gave a good portrayal of Freddy Butterscotch, the slow but sure young man, while Nellie foung as Kate, his sister. entered into the spirit of the character with & good deal of spirit. The other characters were well svs- tained, and each did his and her part to make a_ signel success of the comedy. The first night's recention insures for it & good attend- ance during the week. The Grand Opera-House. “The English Rose,” a picturesque melo- drama, was presented at the Grand Opera- house last night to a highly appreciative andi- ence. The play is an unusually strong one and is based upon the oppression of landlordism in Ireland. There is the murder of an English landlord, a confession by the slayer toa priest and the ialse accusation of the brother of the priest who knows the real murderer, but by his vows is prevented from saying the word that would clenr his brother. There are some fine bits of love making and pathetic scenes, besides some splendid tablesux, particularly that of the murder of Sir Philip Kingston while riaing over the Devil's bridge in an Irish jaunting car. There is a stream of real water comiug down a mountain side and passing under the bridge, making one of the most besutiful scenes ever presented in this house. The closing scene, the entry of the winner of the Derby on a fast steed, is also one that was loudly applauded. Maud Edna Hall had a good acting part in Ethel Kingston, “The Eng- lish Rose,” and Mina Gleason was at heme in the character of Bridget O'Mara. A. C. Hen- derson, in the character of Father 0'Mailly, an opportunity to make much of a strong char- acter, but he did not make as much of it as he has done in other characters he has assumed. Brinker was excellent in the character of the priest’s brother and Derby rider. The Columbia Theater, s There was a fairly good house to witness the comicalities of the Haverly Minstrels at the Columbia. After the first part there was much to amuse the andience in the funny actions and sayings of Rice, Shepard and others. There will be & special matinee on Sunday afternoon by the minstrels. On Monday next the attraction will be the “Lottery of Love,” adapted from the French. Henry E. Dixey and Margaret Craven will appear in the cast. The Tivoli. “Carmen” was presented at the Ti voli last night with Emelie Melvilie in the character of the clgarette girl, who aiterward becomes a gypsy. The opera was well staged, the cos- tumes correct, new and bright and the chorus singers well trained. Pache as Don Jose, the brigadier, was in good voice, and Emelie Mel- ville was warmly greeted. Several times dnur- ing the evening the applause was so generous and so sincere that encores had to be given, To-night Alice Carle will appear as Carmen and no doubt many will hesr the two singers before passing judgment upon the comparative merits of the favorite opera in the two inter- pretations of the title role. At the Orphenm. There was a full house at the Orpheum last night to enjoy the varied and interesting pro- gramme offered. Thke several favorites were much applauded for their clever specialties. The allusions in “‘the poetry of motion’ were exceedingly plenslnf, while the “fragments” of the Ammons-Clerise trio gave much satis- faction. Next week the management will put on ten new artists. Dramatio Art, On Friday afternoon Professor Melville B. Anderson of Stanford University will deliver a lecture to the students of the Columbia Theater School of Dramatic Art on “The Poetic and Dramatic Art of Robert Browning.” This will be given at the Columbia at 3:30 o'clock, under the direction of Leo Cooper. THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL, Everything Ready for the Open- ing in the Mechanics’ Pavilion For Those Who Will Sing for the Benefit of the Children’s Hospital. A large force of carpenters were at work in the Mechanics’ Pavilion yesterday pre- paring the interior for the great musical festival that is to be given in aid of the Children’s Hospital and which commences this evening. The men, under the superintendence of Asa R. Wells, were erecting the tiers of benches at the Polk-street end of the build- ing which will be occupied by the thousana singers who are to render the wonderful creations of the great composers. These are to be arranged in a semicircle under an immense sounding-board, and vary in number from seven to eighteen, after the manrner that, they were arranged during the Thomas concerts. o The series of boxes were being gu: up on each side,within the line ot the pillars that support the galleries. The front of the boxes from the rail to the floor will be draped with dark red cloth. There will be but little in the way of decoration. The main body of the hall was being filled with chairs, arranged with an aisle be- tween each frontage of twelve. On three sides at the Larkin-street end are ranged benches in tiers. The ladies, who for several weeks have been working day and night to make this festival a great success from two stand- points, that of music and of finance, feel as the hour for the opening approaches that their fondest hopes will be realized. The work of preparation has been one involv- ing a great deal of labor,-but that does not weigh when the purposes tor which it was expended are considered. In the grand chorus there will be a number of weil-known_ society people. Yesterday morning a large number of those who are to take part in the chorus stood under the sounding-board and sang a chorus as a test. The effect was very good; the shadings of the tones were not lost and in the diminuendo passages each sound was plainly heard. This forenoon "at 11 o’clock the entire chorus and the soloists will have a final rehearsal in the pavilion. . Godard’s new suite, said to be the com- poser’s best effort, will be interpreted for the first time by the orchestra. It is said that it will be a treat for lovers of or- chestral music. Among the soloists in the orchestra are: Bernard Mollenhauer, con- cert-master; Nathan Landsberger, violin; Jaunlus, viola; Louis von der Mehden, ’celio, and Schlott the French horn, The sale of seats and boxes at Sherman & Clay’s for to-night’s concert will close at 50’clock. The box-office will be open at the pavilion at 7:30 sharp. On Wednes- day the seats will be on saYe at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s at 9 A. M. and close at 5 P. M., reopening at the pavilion in the evening. ALONG THE WATER FRONT, Mrs. Harriet Avery, Widow of the Colima’s Captain, in a New Role. - A Partially Dismasted Schooner Sighted by the Steamer Noyo. Mrs. Harriet Avery, late stewardess of the steamer City of Sydney, and widow of the commander of the unfortunate Colima, has deserted the Mail Company. When the news of her husband’s death reached her she was_ prostrated, but finally picked up courage and feced the world with a firm front. She became acquainted with the wife of Luis de Ojeda, the millionaire son-iu-law of President Barillas of Guate- mala, and when that lady decided to make a tour of Europe she offered to take Mrs. Avery along as companion and governess to her little son. The position was ac- cepted and yesterday Mrs. Avery sailed on the City of Sydney as a passenger, and not as stewardess. At San Jose de Guatemala she will join the Ojedas and the party will go to New York via Panama and thence to Europe. J. Speyers, second mate of the American ship Shenandoah, is now a full-fledged master, and entitled, according to his papers, to take the command of any mer- chantman flying the United States tlag. He is a native son and only 23 years of age, but he has been a close student and1sa thorough seaman. When the big clipper arrived here Speyers determined to pass his fipal examination. He accordingly appeared before the Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers and passed his examination with flying colors. He will remain with the Shenandoah until she arrives in New York, and then if an offer is made him to 0 master or chief officer of another craft e will accept it. The steamer Wellington arrived from Nanaimo, B. C., yesterday, witha cargo of coal for Dunsmuir & Co. She has been on the waysat Victoria, B. C., for over five months, and during that time $45,000 of repairs has been made on her. New boil- ers were put in, and the machinery thor- oroughly overhauled. Captain Salmond says that the big collier is now as zood as anew ship. Chief Steward Glover made many friends while the steamer was in British Columbia, and he is now the owner of a magnificent meerschaum pipe which his admirers presented him before the Wellington sailed. The Parafine Paint Company and the builders of the new city wharf at San Diego are at outs. The former shipped uite a number of piles on the steamer ;rotectiun,but the San Diego countractor refused to accept them so the piles came back on the steamer Albion. The trouble is now in the course of settlement. and the chances are that the long sticks will once more travel south. & The steamer Noyo, which arrived at Eureka yesterday, reported passing a dis- masted schooner off the coast of Humboldt. Two of the vessel’'s masts were gone and under the canvas on the remaining one she was making good time in the direction of San Francisco. Shipping men have made a number of guesses as to what schooner it is, but nothing certain will be known until the vessel gets in. PAINTERS AND DECORATORS. The Working-Card System Adopted, to Take Effect on Monday. +'The Painters’ and Decorators’ Union has followed the example of the carpenters and adopted the working-card system. It was adopted last evening and will go into effect Monday, November 25. Under the card system no union workman is per- mitted to work on a_job with a non-union man. If a painter is called off a piece of work because >f the presence of non-union men and he refuses to obey the first sum- mons he will be fined $5, and $7 50 for the second offense. Expulsion from the union will be the punishment for the third of- feuse. Walking Delegate McAvoy was instruct- ed to call upon all of the bosses and non- union men and notify them of the action of the union. As the union has fully one- half of all the painters and decorators in the City on its roll no trouble is expected. Every night the number increases, and last night forty new members were initi- ated. The hard-wood polishers and finishers were admitted into the union at last even- ing’s meeting. This class of workmen numbers about sixty in this City. e UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE. Abbott L. Whituey Arrested by Mis- take and Nearly Strangled. Abbott L. Whitney, son of A. L. Whit- ney, an insurance agent, and cousin of William C. Wkitney of New York. was arrested last week along with Ralph Cronin on the charge of attempt at grand larceny. When taken to_the City Prison he gave the name of Joseph "Abbott. ‘When the case was called yesterday morn- ing in Judge Campbell’s court it was shown that Whitney had nothbing to do with the crime, but hazpenad to be with Cronin, who is a well-known thief. He became acquainted with Cronin on the night of his arrest, but did not know any- thing about his character. Whitney was the young fellow who was nearly choked to death in a cell in the rison on Thursday morning by William fhnme, who was suffering from delirium tremens.

A Theatrical Man Jollies the Agent of Champagne for a Couple of Cases of His Wine. There is a celebrated smile in this City and County known as the “fateful Mizner smile.” Heretofore it has always been on tap among all the Mizners, but recently it faded away from Edgar Mizner, and with it $168 worth of good champagne. Mr. Mizneris agent for one particular brand. He has always claimed that it is the very best in the market and is within the reach of it. There is considerable truth in Mr. Miz- ner’s statement. A theatrical man reached two cases of it,and the agent is now on his path accompanied by Porter Ashe,who is also an authority on champagne. These two gentlemen, after stowing away a quart bottle, yesterday locked arms and ap- peared in Judge Campbell’s court and swore out a warrant and the Queen’s Eng- lish, with the result that Simon Loverick, the advertising man, is now under the heavy cloud of the law and is likely to be swooped down on any mon.ent. As regards Mr. Loverick it is evident that there are no visible defects in his manner of reaching the sparkling brand without underzoing the nsual formality of putting up something in the shapeof a de- posit, “Just as evidence of good will, you know.” According to Mr. Mizner he simply - appealed to that gentleman as a good fellow, and said he was the secre- tary of a fraternal lodge, and that it was the intention of the organization to give a vast and red-letter blow-out,’ at which nothing but the fini brands of cham- agne would flowy. *Of course we will rink nothing but your brand, Mr. Mizner. You understand. I'm secretary of the lodge. Ah-h-h, how would a commission strike you, Mr. Mizner?” 2 “Certainly; certainly, Mr. Loverick., About $2 a case. Is that about right?”’ “On, yes; that will do. Of course the lodge will get the benefit of that commis- sion. I don’t care about the paltry amount. That'l} be all right. Ah, good-day, Mr. Mizner.”” *Don’t mention it.” Edgar then smiled softly—the regular Mizner-brand of smile—and tallied up one more heat against Ned Greenway, Harry Veuve, Mr. Wolf and other agents of champagne. After a few moments of con- gratulation with himself he strolled up to tge Bohemian Club and did the proper thing. Mr. Loverick took the wine and departed. In a few days Mr. Mizner came to the conclusion that the theatrical man_ had neglected to send him an invitation. Now, if there is anything that Mr. Mizner ob- jects to, itisto be slighted by a man who pretends to be his friend. It is not the in- cidental pleasure he desires, but it is the law of courtesy that is highest in his mind. Mr. Mizner investigated—Exit Mizner smile. Mr. Loverick. says Mr. Mizner, had made a mistake about the frater- nal order, and had taken the wine to his own room, where, together with some friends, he had “set’em up’ to the king’s taste. It was fraternal, all right, but Mr. Loverick was president instead of secreta There was no treasury to speak of, and Mr. Mizner and Mr. AsHe are now engaged in the lJaudable occupation of lo- cating the exchequer. In the meantime Mr. Loverick is busy keeping out of sight for fear that there will be a louder noise than the popping of corks from bottles of Mizner’s brand. Edgar and Porter are preparing a volumin- ous document, setting forth the fact that that particular brand is no longer within the reach of all, except under conditions more in keeping with the present mone- tary depression. x Loverick was arrested last night and was released on $1000 bonds. He denied that he represented he wanted the wine for any lodge. It was purely a business transac- tion and the wine was ordered for himself. Since then Mizner had sent him an account every month and as he was unable to pay he had threatened to get even with him some other way. Loverick is at present manager of the People’s Theater. EXEMPT FIREMEN MEET. Renomination of the Present Officers an@ Board of Directors. The Exempt Fire Company, at its regu- lar monthly meeting last night, renomi- nated the present officers for the year 1896. They are: George T. Bowen, president; Andrew J. Jessup, vice-president; J.
