French, whose hoarseness would not admit of her addressing the meeting, was represented by her husband, Dr. Ha'yes C. French. Dr. French said: “It was impossible to redict the destination of this movement. Ispeak asa father when I say prevention is_the watchword of the hour. Fathers will be more vigilaut. The beginning in this course of prevention is tbe home.” Dr. French spoke of the Califernia Girls’ Training Home as an institution that seeks to save girls fr@m perii, and made a Plea in its behalf, stating that Mayor Sutro had recently donated a building site to the institution and that the directors are taking steps toward the erection of a Rev. é A. Rabing, Mrs. B. L. W. Davis and Mrs. M. E. Richardson gave addresses, Mrs. Davis explaining the purposes of the Girls’ Training Home and asking the sub- stantial aid and interest of the public in ! the building about to be erected. Mr. Ross called the attention of the audi- | ence to the movement forthe appointment of Mrs. French as inspector of the home, and asked the vote of the audience on the Auestion. The response was an uproari- | ous “Aye.” Mrs. "Richardson said every man and | woman should be a living petition, de- manding that the laws shall be enforced. Woman’s weapon is a_broom, but the con- dition of tbe San Francisco streets re- quires the brawn of men for the use of the pick and shovel. This meeting shows that the honor of San Francisco is as dear to men as women and that this 1s an up- rising of the people. TALKED ABOUT THE TURK, Congregational Pastors Ask Pro- tection for Mission- aries. Bishop Goodsell Describes His Expe- riences of Five Con. | ferences. ° “The San Francisco Monday Club ex- | presses grateful acknowledgment for Gov- | ernment protection given our missionaries in the Turkish empire, and implore pro- | tection for Armenians.” 5 | The above telegram was dispatched to ‘Washington yesterday afternoon by the | Congregational p. of this City result of a long discussion on the Arme- ons were intro- duced early in the meeting by Rev. Dr. Williams thanking the United States Government for what it has done ana urg- ing it to take further action toward stop- ping the ontrages. The resolutions were adopted, but later they were referred to a, committee to be made more emphatie. se said, with charac- | *‘San Francisco isnot | s get very bad, and we | ‘We want the women | I will tell them about. | ach about szeing women | es, though I would like to see | .y Let them aid | nd other good men of this | Grant’s memory that | I am op-| i | | | | { In the discussion Rev. Dr. Frere, describ- ing success of missionary work in Armenia, sald: *‘I have no doubt but that this very success has been in some degree the cause of the outhreak. The fact that the Arme- nians are being pervaded with the spi of Christian life and liberty has aroused the jea sy of the Porte.” “Do you credit the statement that Arme- i, ve slanghtered Turks?” asked Dr. W 0, replied Dr. Frere. allowed to carry arms. There is a body of Armenians who have been educated and are disgusted at the existing order of things; they have formed a_ revolutionary committee, but I do not believe they have committed atrocities.” Dr. Williams made an earnest speech, denouncing the Turk. Dr. Pond shared th ws with regard to the Ottomans, but he also expressed distrust of Russia. *If the source of these atrocities was un- covered I should not be surprised to find that Russia was more responsible than Turkey. Rus: wants Constantinople, and her agents stir up strife to the undo- ing of the Ottoman empire.” v Rev. W. Tubbs, who spoke from experi- ence of Turkish life, said he despised the Turks heartily, but he believed that Rus- sian agents fomented the discord, and secretly supplied the Armenians with arme. Rev. Mr. Scudder believed in the American Government _acting for the cause of humanity, and not relying on any other power. The general sense of the meeting was with Dr. Scudder, and it re, resolved to make the reso- hich had previously been adopted Dr. Williams, Dr. Scudder, Dr. stronger. Frere, Dr. Mooar and Dr. Pond were ap- pointed 4 committee to frame stronger resolutions, and they were authorized to send them to Washington. Dr. Williams introduced the telegram quoted above, and it was resolved to send 1t without an hour's delay. Methodist Preachers. At the meeting of the Methodist preach- ers yesterday morning, Bishop Goodsell cleaned as they should. | gave a detailed report of his visits to five more | confere s over which he recently pre- e were the conferences of East ded. T i made an appeal for money to | Tennessee, Haiston, Rock River, Central he women in their work. He stated | Illinois and the West German confererice. The, Bishop chatted with the brethren in an informal way, telling his own per- sonal experiences rather than giving a| mere statistical account of the proceedings. st of his statements as to the growth of his denomination and its increase in prop- | erty were encouraging. “Weshall go to the next conference 2,900,000 strong,” he said. Bishop Goodsell conciuded by stating that | 17, when other conferences would call him to the East and Europe. At the close of the meeting resolutions of regret for the death of the late Georpe W. Gibbs were passed by a rising vote. Prosbyterian Union. ““Welsh Presbyterianism’’ was the subject of a paper read before the Presbyterian Min- isterial Union yesterday morning by Rev. R. 0. Griffith, pastor of the Welsh Presby - terian Church 1n Oazkland. The speaker gave an interesting account of the history of Presbyterianism in the principality of Wales, and described its activity in the present day. HE IS A WISE JUDGE. A Lecture From the Bench to Max H. Marx, Alias Henry Martin, Has a Good Effect. Max H. Marx, alias Henry Martin, who is charged with deserting his wife in New York for Marguerite Knudson, an alleged Norwegian Countess, appeared again in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday morn- ing. No further progress was made in the case, but the Judge took occasion to de- liver a lecture to the defendant. “I would advise vou,” said the Judge, ‘‘to return to your wife and family and not fio gadding around the country with another woman. The time is not far distant when, if f‘ou persist in your present course, you will be uvpon your ‘uppers’ without friends, and then you will be a prey to remorse. +I want you to promise'me that you will at least support your wife and children, and with that object in view 1 shall make an order tbat your cash bail be reduced from $500 to $250 and that the $250 be sent’ to your wife and family. Isthatagreeable to you?” “Very well,” biection.” . 'i‘he Judge then continued the case till to-morrow. & Marx signed the order on the City Treasurer jor the $250, which was drawn by Clerk O’Brien of Judge Cempbell’s court and forwarded by him through Wells, Fargo & Co. to Mrs. Marx, who is at present living with her parents at Scranton, Pa. Marx paid the 85 cents commission. it will be seen hy to-morrow whether Marx has taken the Judge’s advice and made up_ his mind to give up the Nor- wegian Countess, who is keeping ber whereabouts secret. said Marx. “I have no ol as the | “They arenot | THE BAY DISTRICT RACES, Vidctor Had Revenge on Sister Mary, Beating Her Out Handily. SIR GEORGE WAS A GOOD THING. Babe Murphy, a Visitor From Over the Rockies, Captured the Last Race Cleverly. The California horse Vinctor turned the tables on the Eastern mare Sister Mary vesterda On Saturday last Sister Mary took Vinctor into camp very handily at six and a half furlongs, but he had his re- venge in the race yesterday, which was a trifle longer distance—seven furlongs. The weights were the same as in Satur- day’s race, and the mare was a pronounced favorite, 7 to 5 being scarce in the ring around post time. Vinctor was third choice at fours, Potentate having the call over him. When the flag sent the field away, Barney Schreiber’s two-year-old Ferris Hartman tried to go to the front and make the running, but Sister Mary and Potentate had too much speed and headed him when straightened away down the backstretch. The last-named pair raced away at a merry clip, turning into the stretch heads apart, with Vinctor trail- ing a couple of lengths behind. Potentate tired as they neared the wire and looked as though a chair would fit him, and when Vinctor challeiged Sister Mary the mare wasall out and was beaten easily by a length in coast record time for the dis- tance, B The balance of the racing was good, favorites taking three of the events and more lengthy ones in the betting the other three. It was cutaway day for one of the re- cently arrived Eastern stables, Louis Ezell sending Babe Murphy to the post in the last race, who, backed down from 12 to 8 to 1, won rather handily. The same horseman also took the open- ing race, a cheap five-furlong dash, with Sir George, who was backed down from threes to 8 to 5, and led all the way. Imp. Trentola was second. Atkin and Lottridge’s imp. Endymion was a 6-to-5 favorite for the next race, over five furlongs for two-vear-olds, but fin- ished third. Free Will, a 6 to 1 chance, took the lead from Mollie Bawn turning into the stretch and won at the wire by a neck from Fireman. The favorite came from the rear and finished a good thira. The third race was another f nrlong dasn for the kindergarten di was captured by the 7 to 10 favo ernor Budd, who won romping in 1:0134. Riot was backed down from 4 to 2 to 1, but after leading until well into the stretch tired and finished in third place behind | Dancing Girl,a 12to1 shot, who ran a very creditable race. . | The fourth race, a mile dash, resulted in easy win for the 4 to 5 favorite, | Peter the Second, who won as he liked irom Pulaski in 1:42{. Dungarven was | second choice, but ran unpaced. For the last race, a six-furlong spin, | Hymen opened a 7 to 5 favorite, buta | flood of coin went into the books on Robin Hood II, who was backed from 6to2to 1, | and Hymen receded in the betting 11 to 5. | Hymen made all the running and stood a | drive from the furlong pole, but Babe Murphy passed him the last hundred | yards and won comfortably by a length in :133{. Montana was a good third, lapped on the s econd horse. Fitty - sixth Weather cold. T $) FIRST RACE 292, vare 2064 Monday, November 25. k fast. furlongs; selling; 2. X Ind. Horse, weignt, 4 Str.

A1l the efforts of the construction de- partment of the Market-street Railway Company are now being directed toward completing the electric line from Mission street and China avenue to the new race course at Ingleside. With the completion of the work on the Ellis and O’Farrell street lines last week a large additional force was made available for pushing the work on the Ingleside line, and full” and promot advantage was taken of the situa- tion in order that it might be completed on Thursday, when the races begin. No less than 600 men were at work yes- terday and_there is every indication that the road will be placed in operation on the day now contemplated. When this work is finished attention will be given to the Folsom-street electric line. THE GOVERNOR'S POTSHOT How Mr. Budd Failed to Bag Four Fat “Cans” in a Club Preserve. Sportsmen of Solano County Who Refused to Lease Property to Clubs. The Cordelia and Ibis Club members were well represented on the Suisun marshes yesterday as it was expected that good shooting would result owing to a stiff north wind which has been blowing for some days past. Members of the Mallard Club were out in strong forcealso and returned with tol- erably good bags notwithstanding that their shooting was hampered considerably by gamekeepers who remained near their stands and shot blank cartridges at birds that were coming direct for the ponds. “I was greatly amused by watehing a member of the Cordelia Club pot shooting birds that dropped into a pond over which | he wasshooting,”’said Mr. Harrier. “While I was thus engaged reviewing the water sluicing cannonade, I failed to see a bird shot on the wing; this may be called true sport, but I fail to see it in that light. It is no wonder then that the club members who have the privilege and opportunity of raking the grain-fed ponds returned with large bags of game. There are, however, some very good wing shots among the members, but as a rule they do not kill as many birds as the gentlemen ‘who kill on the sit.’ " It is said that *‘Cap’” Chittenden of the Cordelia Club bas concocted a new scheme which may cause considerable annoyance to the uninvited sportemen. The “Cap”’ is very ingenious, and his latest scheme, by which he hopes to destroy several pairs of rubber boots, is to place barbed wires along the paths zenerally traversed by the so-ca}led poackers.. The wires are covered from view by layers of tule and, strange to say, the first man to get caught in the “Cap's’” new trap was one of the gillies employed to herd the poachers. The alleged poachers state that all is fair in love and war, and if the clubs will continue to resort to such unsportsmanlike measures they will return the compliment which cannot be construed as malicious mischief. The Teal Club has had a small wincer cottage erected within close proximi'y to the slough, which is blockaded by a fence composed of heavy piles and cable-ropes. ‘Within this shanty is a keeper, who has orders not to let any outsider pass this formidable barrier to navigation. He is armed, but the ‘poachers” look upon this scheme as a game of bluff, and they have passed the sentry and refused to recog- nize the command “halt!” when so ac- costed by the keeper of the little red house on the marsh. The sentry is doubtless placed in this uninviting castle to guard the fence and water blockade and to report any person discovered in the act of destroying prop- erty. The attention of the Federal authorities will be called to the obstruc- tions in the sloughs and in all probability some of the officials will visit the marsh this week on a tour of inspection. During the high tide of last Sunday there was over a foot of tidewater on the lands which are partially fenced in by the Teal Cluband on which are situated the Whit- tier ponds. Although sportsmen are warned not to trespasson those lands, they are nevertheless welcome to shoot oyer the roperty of Mr. Pierce and Sheriff Ben Y{ush of Solano County. These two princely fellows have refused to lease their property to men who fancy that the game of the country should belong only to those who were born with silver spoons in their mouths. (Governor Budd was a guest of the Teal Club last Saturday, and enjoyed very good sport. The Governor is an excellent shot, and grassed or watered, more properly speaking, twenty birds without having missed a bird. The only poor shot he made was at four canvasbacks, which dropped unobservedly in the center of his decoys. His Excellency could not re- sist the temptation of a pot shot, and hav- ing missed he stood amazed at seeing the royal birds take flight as if nothing more serious or extraordinary than the report of & keeper’s gun had happened. The birds understand by this time what the report of a keeper’s gun means, but those “‘cans” failed to see the Governor. - —————— A VITRIOL-TEROWER. Charles Basler Arrested for Trying to Disfigure His Wife. Charles Basler, who gives his occupation as a farmer, was arrested on Sunday night on the complaint of his wife on the serious charge of throwing vitrio! in her face. The offense was committed in March, 1894. Husband and wife bad not been liv- ing on the best of terms, and while she was leaving a theater with a friend one night in March, 1894, Basler met them and threw the vitriol in his wife’s face, for- tunately not disfiguring her. Mrs. Basler, who lives at 301 Montgom- ery avenue, swore out a warrant for her busband’s arrest, but he disappeared from the City. About a month ago she learned that he had returned, and notified the police, but he managed to keep out of the way till Sunday night. Basler appeared before Judge Campbell yesterday morning, and at his request a continuance was granted till Saturday. — . .———— Mrs. John in Court. Mrs. John Martin was before Judge Coffey yesterday morning to oppose the distribution of the estate of Henry Martin. She appeared for herself and_her son in the case. She ob- jected to the distribution of Henry Martin’s estate because there is now pending a suit sgainst the execntor, E. B. Pond, brought by her to recover $11, by her son against Pond. The order of distri- bution mas made nevertheless, but $15,000 was ordered held back to cover any g:mma }udment which may be rendered Mrs. ohn’s favor. , and another brought | THAT MASSIE . SHOOTING, Verdict at the Inquest Not Ap-| proved by Coroner Hawkins. W. B. C JURY CALLED IT ACCIDENTAL. What Policeman Crockett Said Mrs. Massie Told Him at the Time , of the Affair. Coroner Hawkins did not agree with the jury at the inquest yesterday on the Mas- sie shooting. The jury called it an acei- dent, and to that verdict the members all affixed their signatures, Coroner Hawkins signed his name under the words “‘Not approved.” Mrs. Helen Josephine Massie was pres- entat the investization of the circum- stances surrounding the death of her hus- band, William Massie, but on the advice of her attorney, Reel B. Terry, she refused to make any statement. She cried bitterly during the proceedings, bursting into tears every time her husband’s name was men- tioned. The only evidence of any importance was that of Police Officers Michael P. Hur- ley and Charles Crockett. The point of Crockett’s statement was that the woman told him she shot her husband, but she did not tell him (the witness) that it was accidental. Her husband had abused her, she said. John Massie of Oakland, a rail- way conductor and brother of the dead man, was present to formally identify him. During the examination of Crockett one of the jurors, H. Mantel, expressed him- self as being of the opinion that the shoot- ing was accidental. This somewhat novel proceeding took the Coroner completely by surprise. 5 5 Policeman Huiley testified substantially the foilowing: Mrs, Massie came running down Folsom street about 6:30 o’clock Thursday evening, and came up to me just as I was going out o the police station. She eried out to m God's sake come quick! Ihaveshotmy hus- band.” Tasked her how it happend, and she said, “It was an accident.” On the way to her home she made a state- ment to me on the street—how he had come home in the evening and commenced to abuse her. I asked her why sheshot him. She said while he was abusing her he wentand took a revolver out of the satchel and pointed it at her; also that he told her thatif he had her in & plece where she could not make any outery or could not be heard he would kill her. Her retort was: “If I had a pistol I might be &s good as you.” However, Massie’s statement to the of- ficer at the Receiving Hospital before death was that the shooting was acci- dental, and the wounded man then gave this explanation: My wife did not point the pistol to me. Iwas just after changing my pistol and was going to wash my face, and sat on a chair, when sne took the revolver. She was standing in a little entryway leading to the parlor from the dining-room. 1 told her to give me the pistol, and with that it “went off,” and while I was in the act of getting off my chair the weapon “went off” again. Officer Crockett told a scmewhat differ- ent story, as follows: On_Thursday evening Officer Hurley and Mrs, Massie came to the Folsom-street police station, and Hurley told me the woman had shot ber husband, Bo I went up to the house with her, and while on the way I questioned her. She told me she shot him; that he abused her two weeks before and was then going to throw her downstairs—or did throw her down, I could not be sure which-—and with that he 1 NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. : ORSETS!

That was in_the pre- vious trouble. “So,” she says, ‘‘he pulled this pistol on me again this time and I wrenched it out of his hand and shot him.” Question—Did she mgke any statement as to whether the shooting was accidental or inten- tional—why she did it ? Answer—She seid she shot him. Juror—Did Mrs. Massie say at the time—did you ask her whether it was aecidental? Answer—She said he pulled the pistol and put it up to her breast, and that she snatched the pistol from his hand and shot him. She did not say it was accideutal at all. Juror Mantel was interrogated by the Coroner as to whether he meant by his question, “Did the wife make the state- ment as to its being accidental, or her hus- band?’ Mantel’s answer was, ‘“No, no; 1 believe it is accidental. That's what I think.” The jury was out a little over ten min- utes and reported the following verdict: That the gunshot wound was inflicted by his wife, Helen Josephine Massie, by accident. J. H. Lipscher (roremau{{, Otto Schlessinger, A. Schrumpf, H. Nadro, H. Mantel, M. Froh- mwan, N. Cohen, David Herron. Coroner Hawkins refused to approve the verdict. He said afterward, with con- siderable sarcasm, that “it will be neces- sary to establish a limit to the number of shots to be allowed in accident cases.” From the testimony it appeared that the weapon was fired twice. The Coroner could not see how the affair could haye been an accident. In connection he alluded to the Ford shooting as another singular “accident’”’—‘‘one in which five shots were fired.” Cof all Cough Medicines is Dr. Acker’s English Rem- edy.
