[&] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1895. the audience was toward temperance and | orderliness, and violence was repeatedly | deprecated. The audience, _although | deeply in earnest; showed no disposition | to resort to lawlessness to check the threat- | ened invasion. \ | ERAL.

CHICAGO, L., Dec. 14.—Central Music Hall was filled to-night with a fashionable audience wh enjoyed a literary and | musical entertainment for the benefit of | the Chicago Postoffice Clerks’ Association. | More than local interest was manifested in the event, which is of an annual. char- | acter, because of the presence of Post- masters Dayton of New York, Carr of Philadelphia, Enright of Detroit and other | heads of the Western postoffices, and also because the original object of the enter- | tainment was to raise money to pay the | expenses of a Washington lobby from among the local postoffice er promote the passage of the cl bill. | This purpose was considered in conflict with the recent order of Postmaster-Gen- | eral Wilson against employes being sent to Washington for lobbying work. Postmaster Hesing, who contributed to the entertainment with an able address on the Chic: Postoftice and the postoffice in general in its historical aspect, caid it was not the intention to use the proceeds | to send a committee to the capital, as that would be usurping the functions of the National association, but intimated that if the local association wanted to hire an at- torney or other agent outside the service to look after their interests at Washington he did not see how the Postmaster-Gen- eral could interfere. He cited the case of | the president of the Railway Clerks’ As- sociation, who had resigned his position of clerk and the presidency, but was being | paid to represent the association at Wash- ington. Mr. Hesing added that there was no disposition to defy or evade the new or- der, which was not objectionable. SIK CRUSHED TO DEATH, Five Men Instantly Killed and One Fatally Hurt in Kentucky. They Were Sitting Under a Projecting Rock Which Fell Without Warning Them. MIDDLESBOROUGH, Ky.,Dec. 14.--Six s2ction men in the employ of the Virginia Coal and Iron Company met their death near Big Stone Gap shortly after noon to- day. They were working on the Virginia Coal and Iron Company’s road, that runs from Appalachia to Pioneer,and had stopped at the side of the road, under an overhang- ing stratum of rock, to eat their dinners, where they had built a fire. The section foreman, Mercer, stopped from under the cliff to getadrink. He had been gone but an instant when the rocks overhead gave way, falling on the remaining six men, instantly killing five and fatally injuring one. Those killed are: P. L. Huffman, Big Stone Gap; Dan Payne, Pioneer; George W. Beater, Rich- mond, Va.; John Brown and Bill Saylor. It is believed that the fire, which had been burning under the cliff all morning, soft- enod the earth surrounding them and caused it to give way. L Robbed a Ticket Office. DANVILLE, Kv., Dec. 14.—A bold rob- bery took place at 1:30 this morning, when a couple of men armed with revolvers forced an entrance to the Cincinnati South- ern ticket office and compelled the night operator, C. L. Vallingham, to_unlock the cash-drawer and give them its contents. The drawer contained only about $12, bnt the robbers evidently thought there was more. —_———— Could Not Agree. CHICAGO, ILL., Dec. 14.—After being out nineteen hours the jury in the case of Ketcham against the Chicago and North- western Railroad Company ior](_lamagfes, unt of having been blacklisted for g:rx:iccfi%ntion in the big A. K. U, strike, toid Judge Burke, at the cpening of court to-day, that there was no possibility of an agreement, and they were discharged. ON THE COMMITTEES, Places Assigned by the Cau- cus of Republican Senators. CHOICE CHAIRMANSHIPS. New Members of the Upper House of Congress Are Well Provided For. SEVERAL NOTABLE INCREASES. A Distribution That Brings the Pa- cific Coast and Northwest Into Closer Touch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14,—The Republican caucus committee charged with the duty of making the majority as- signments to the Senate committees held a protracted meeting this afternoon and adjourned until Monday, when the final report was drawn for submission to the caucus to be held Tuesday immediately after the Ffenate adjourns. Additional chairmanships were agreed uvon to-day as follows: Civil Service and Retrenchment, Pritch- ard of North Carolina. Education and Labor, Shoup of Idaho. Enrolled Biils, Sewell of New Jersey. To Examine the Several Branches of the Civil Service, Peffer of Kansas (Pop.). Tmprovement of the Mississippi River, Nelson of Minnesota. Indian Depredations, Wilson of Wash- ington. Manufactures, Wetmore of Rhode Is- land. Mines and Mining, Stewart of Ne vada (Pop.). Revision of the Laws, Burrows of Michi- gan. To Investigate the Geological Surveys, Elkins of West Virginia. Forest Reservation, Allen of Nebraska (Pop.). The committees on Irrigation, Organiza- tion and Expenditures, Departments, Pa- cific Railroads, Railroad Transportations and Routes to the Seaboard, Quadro-cen- tennial, National Banks and to investi- gate trespassers on Indian lands, have not M. New the From Nebraska. Tohn Thurston, Senator been definitely determined, all of them being set apart for the new men. The old Quadro-centennial Committee has had its name changed to that of International Exp ositions and will be continued as one of the select committees. Proctor, who is the ranking member of the select Com- mittee to Establish the University of the United States will keep that place tem- porarily, in addition to his other chair- | manship, until the arrival of the Utah Senators, when he will give way to one of them. Owing to the increase in the number of | Senators the committee has increased sev- eral of the committees in size, motably those on Appropriations and Finance. There is no vacancy in the Committee on Appropriations, but it is increased from nine to twelve. This enables Brice, of the minority, to remain, and adds the names of -Quay of Pennsylvania, Pettigrew of South Dakota and Perkins of California. This more equitable distribution brings the Northwest and the Pacific Coast into closer touch with this all-powerful com- mittee and removes it from the charge of being a close corporation. This will also be likely to relieve much of the pressure recently brought to bear for the distribu- tion of the various appropriation bills among the different committees. The Committee on Finance is likewise increased from eleven to thirteen by the substitution of Daniel for the Democratic vacancy caused by McPherson’s retire- ment and the addition of Platt and Wol- cott for the Republicans. The Finance Committee was a silver committee in the last Congress, but will be a most pro- nounced one in this Congress. Thurston, who is just entering upon his first term, secures a fine berth as a mem- ber of the Judiciary Committee, he being the only prominent lawyer among the new Senators. The addition of Lodge and Cameron to the Committee on Foreign Relations has already been announced. The chairmanship of the Committee on Enrolled Bills, assigned to Sewell, is the place he held when he was in the Senate before. Elkins, Secretary of War under President Harrison, gets an assignment on the Committee on Military Affairs and another on the Committee on Commerce, which handles the river and harbor bill in the Senate. Davis of Minnesota is also transferred to the Committee on Judi- ciary. The select committee appointed during the last Congress to investigate the Ford’s Theater disaster will not be dis- turbed, but will be left under the control of Harris, where it now is. The work of this committee will soon be completed. Warren of Wyoming, who was a Senator during the Fifty-second Congress and was absent from the Fifty-third by reason of the failure of the Legislature of his State to elect, will probably be given his old chairmanship—that of Irrigation ard Reclamation of Arid Lands. He' would bave preferred Mines and Mining, as he was the ranking member, but it has been decided to leave that with Stewart. Gear of Iowa may get the Pacific Railroads. Suffer From Water Famine. ALTOONA, Pa., Dec. 14.—The water famine is more keenly felt to-day than at any time heretofore. The extensive foun- dries of the Pennsylvania Railroad have shut down in consequence of the lack of water, The Edison Electric-light Com- pany has also been compeiled to close. Other departments of the railroad shops may also shut down. The freefing of all the streams is the ca of the scarcity. — OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Changes Ordered at the Presidio—Importa- | tion of British Columbia Cattle—San Pedro Harbor—Utah's Statehood. WASHINGTON, D. C., .Dec. 14.—Cap- tain J. Estcourt Sawyer, assistant quarter- master, will be relieved from duty as post quartermaster at the Presidio of San Fran- cisco by the commanding officer of that | post upon receipt by him of this order, and will then proceed to Buffalo, N. Y., and relieve Captain William W. Robinson Jr., assistant quartermaster, of his duties at that place, reporting by letter to the commanding general of the Department of the East. Captain Robinson, upon being relieved by Captain Sawyer, will report in person to the commanding general of the Department of California for assignment tth:}u:y as post quartermaster at the Pre- sidio. Assistant Secretary Hamlin, after con- sulting with the Secretary of Agriculture, has instructed the Collector of Customs at Port Townsend that the importation of cattle from British Columbia at Oroville cannot be allowed without subjecting the animals to quarantine and inspection by veterinary surgeons of the Agricultural Department. Senator White says Senator Elkins,who is interested in the Los Angeles Terminal Railroad with R. C.Kerens and others. will aid in securing an appropriation for | the improvement of the inner harbor at San Pedro. Senator White thinks he will have no difficulty in having this bill passed through the Senate. 8. H. Callen was to-day appointed- post- master at Williams, Colusa County, Cal., vice J. F. Fouch, removed. ifornia pensions are reported as fol- Reissue—Lander G. Griffin, Sisson. n war widows—Mary Button, San Bernardino. Increase—James Rhein, Los Angeles; Harvey A, Warder, Veterans' Home, Napa; Charles H. Mock, San | Francisco; Austin McDevitt, Pasadena. Méxican war widows—Minerva S. Low, Tipton. Governor West of Utah has arranged with Private Secretary Thurber for an au- dience of Utah men with President Cleve- land on Monday concerning the proclama- | tion admitting Utah, provided the chief magistrate returns from his ducking trip. T0 SUCCEED MB, LEAKE Russ Stephens Will Secure the Postmastership of Sacramento. On More Than One Occasion He Has Made Efforts to Secure the Position. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 14.—There will be a sharp fight over the Postmaster- ship at SBacramento, which it is expected the incumbent, Leake, will resign. The possibilities are that Russ Stephens will be appointed. The other candidate is Thomas Fox, agent at Sacramento of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company. Russ Stephens was a candidate for this pluce when Leake was appointed, but Leake was recommended by Representa- tive Caminetti, and took the plum from Stephens after a bitter contest. Stephens was a delegate to the convention that nominated Cleveland, is weil liked by the President and, inasmuch as he was dis- appointed before, it is altogether likely that he will be successful this time. Representative Grove Johnson of that district said to-night that, so far as his in- fluence went, he would exert it in‘favor of Fox, though he was not sure that he would have any voice in the matter, but the ap- pointment might be dictated by Senator White. Senator White said to the CALL corre- spondent: “The first intimation that Leake would resign came to me four or five days ago, and since then telegrams have been pouring in from friends of the candidates at a lively rate. I do not re- gard it as absolutely settled that Leake will resign. He wired me on Thursday he had received a very flattering business offer and thought of resigning, but said he would let me know later. Until 1 receive something definite from bim I shall take no action in behalf of any candidate.” Senator White will, however, recommend Russ Stephens, and if Leake resigns Stephens will be immediately appointed. RUN DIWN Y & TRA, An Accident on a Trolley-Car in Which Death and Injury Were Caused. The Motorman Failed to Heed Re- peated Whistling at the Crossing. DENVER, Coro., Dec. 14.—The Texas express on the Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf Railroad crashed into a trolley-car on the University Park line at 10:40 o’clock this morning, wrecking both car and train, instantly killing the motorman, Curtis E. Wilbur, and seriously injuring John Shearing, the- trolley conductor. Two girls going to the university in the trolley- car were slightly injured. Engineer M. E. Shannon, Fireman Gus Moline, Conductor Fred Schmidt and Brakeman J, M. Essing- ton were injured in the wreck, the latter seriously. The incoming express whistled for the crossing and at the time the electric-car was seen rapidly approaching the railroad track. The enzineer supposed it would stop as usual, but approaching nearer he noticed that the motorman was sitting down unconscious of the moving train, The engineer again whistled warning and applied his brakes. The motorman was seen to jump to his lever and endeavor to stop, then apparently he concluded to cross ahead of the train. The locomotive struck the car, whirled it entirely around, catching the motorman in the wreck and throwing the conductor into the air. The shock of the collision derailed the locomotive and it fell on its side, the baggage-car rolled over in an opposite direction and the day coach lost its front trucks. Miss Olive McDowell, daughter of Chan- cellor McDowell of the University of Denver, and Miss June Brown, daughter of J. 8. Brown, a whoiesale grocer, were the only passengers in the car, which was almost completely demolished. They es- caped with slight bruises, but the_ shock has completely prostrated them. Brake- man Essington was hurled violently from the coach platform, sustaining a broken ankle ana internal injuries. It was after- ward dis~overed that the motorman had a bottle containing whisky in his pocket, which may account for his inattention to the crossing and the warning whistle, GOSSIP FROMGOTHAM {Manley and Boutelle Ready to Boom Reed for the Presidency. ALLISON’S MEN IN LINE. | National Republican Leaders Dis- cussed Plans for the Con- vention. DICK CROKER AND TAMMANY. Mission of the “Plain Citizens” Who Propose to Provide Work for the Unemployed. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 14.—Joseph H. Manley of Maine, the chairman of the Republican National Executive Commit- | tee, arrived in this city last eveni He was accompanied by Congressman Bou- telle of the same State. Their mission is to push the candidacy of Speaker Reed | for the Presidency. Neither Manley nor Boutelle would talk about Reed’s pros- pects. Henry L. Swords, sergeant-at-arms of the Republican National Committee, started for St. Louis yesterday. Beforzshe went he said that he was going to engage | headquarters for the National Committee; | also to secure accommodations for the friends of Senator Allison of Iowa and apartments for Allison’s headquarters as a candidate, as well rooms for Senator | Quay and the Pennsylvania delegation and for the delegations of New Jersey and Con- necticut during the convention. Many prominent National Republican Leaguers were in conference in the Fifth- avenue Hotel last night. They talked over [ plans for the comiug convention of the | league in Milwaukee. Originally it was intended to call it for some time in Aug- ust,'but since St. Louis and June16 were selected as the place and date for the Pres- idential convention a strong sentiment has been developed for fixing the date of the league convention vefore or just after that to be held at St. Louis. This would obviate the necessity for delegates from the far East and West making two trips. Richard Croker will not return to Eng- { land until the spring, in time for the spring races and the social season in London, which follows Lent. He has opened his house in this city and is busying himself { with the work of reorganizing Tammany | Hall. From these facts it is taken for | granted that he has not yet given up poh- | tics. Among politicians the general belief is | that Croker has hopes yet that William C. | Whitney will be the Democratic candidate for tne Presidency, and if he is Mr. Croker will retain control of Tammany and do what he can to help secure his nomination and eleetion. Croker has added to his racing stable a string of thorouginbreds, for which he paid $23,000. There met last night in the Broadway | Central Hotel 2 number of persons calling | themselves “Plain Citizens.” They are advocates of a sixteenth amendment to the | constitution of the United States. This | provides for the creation of a National de- | partment “to procure reasonably remun- | erative employment for every American citizen who may apply to the department for work, and also to adopt such measures throughout the land that shall give to every child born in the United States a fair opportunity of obtaining sufficient food, clothing, shelter, education and en- joyment.” The purposes of the ‘‘Plain Citizens” were explained by Dr. Stephen H. Em- mens of Amador City, Cal. Dr. Emmens is the inventor of a high explosive known as Emmensite, which he claims the United States Government has adopted and is using in its coast defenses. He also | claims to be an editor of the London | (Eng.) Standard, and to have published several books. Dr. Emmens said that the project was not utopian, as had been de- clared by President Roosevelt of the Po- lice Board. He asserted that in an inter- view Roosevelt had said that ‘“Men have | no right to employment.’” Dr. Emmens declared that the United States is losing $3,000,000,000 a year through its idle people. He says that counting $4 as the profit of a working- man’s day and $1200 a year as the profit of his year, and admitting that 2,000,000 per- sons—the number according to the census —are out of work, there is, therefore, $2,400,000,000 lost in that way. } It costs the United States $600,000,000 i each year to support these idle men. He claims that the adoption of the sixteenth | amendment will save this money for the United States and provide employment for the idle people. Dr. Emmens also claims that the “Plain Citizens'’ are not theorists, but have a practical plan. He claims that they are ready to put forth the plan of the iines on which the proposed National depariment would be drawn, by which 10,000 families in the slums of New York City alone could be made “happy, self-supvorting people.’ The bill last night at the Metropolitan was one of the most interesting and varied of the season. It offered that exquisite trifle by Gounod, “Philemon et Baucis,” Ambroise Thomas’ greatest achievement, the mad scene in “Hamlet,” and Mas- cagni’'s masterpiece, - “‘Cavalleria Rusti- cana.” Here were three triumphs of modern composition interpreted in the best method of modern art. Mme. Engle and M. Plan- con sang in the first work, Calve repeated her marvelous achievement in the second, and the third was interpreted by Calve, Mantelli, Ancona and Cremonini. ¢ ‘This seems to be a good chance to speak a good word in favor of Mme. Engle4 The pretty prima donna from London has had little opportunity to declare her quality to our audiences. Her voice isnot of great power, but it possesses delightful melody and technique, and ber acting in the Bizet and Gounod roles has shown fine artistic instinct. We have never had a better Baucis than this lady was last night. After the pastoral beauty of “Philemon et Baucis” here comes Mile. Calve in the mad ecstasy of Ophelia. Ophelia is the Iatest but ot Jeast famous role that the fiery French woman has added to her repertoire. She electrified the audience by her initial American performance of the character last week, and last night Calve deepened this impression by a superb per- formance. She came to the mad scene fresh in body, mind and throat and went mad lyrically and dramatically at the rise of the curtain with a beauty of voice and completeness of tragic art that made the audience almost as crazy with enthusiasm as the prima donna pretended to be in character. It is a wonderful performance, this Ophelia of Calve’s, a close simulation of insanity joined to consummate skill in vocalization and tragic dignity in acting. The Tole was one of Melba’s best efforts last season, but when she returns to us in January the Australian diva must look to her laurels, for Calve has apparently settled it in her mind that she is to be the only sweetheart of an operatic Hamlet this winter. Society people and the jewelers who supply their diamonds are interested con- siderably in the prospective sale at auction of the jewels in the possession of Mrs. land Stanford of California. Some authorities aver that these jewels are valued at not less than $2,000,000, and among them are some famous gems for which high prices will be paid. It was said a day or two ago that a firm of jew- elers was preparing a catalogue of Mrs. Stanford’s jewels. The local jewelers who have heard that this sale will take place do not like the prospect of diamonds worth $2,000,000 being placed upon the market at once, especially those so well known as are the diamonds in Mrs. Stanford’s possession. A reporter saw several jewelers yester- day and they confirmed the report that the jewels were to be put fipon the market. Said one downtown dealer: “It has been rumored for some time that a private lot of jewels was to be sold at auction some time this winter. Of course we'do not like it, because the society people will flock to the sale and pay large prices for these jewels just because they belonged to the widow of Senator Stanford.” Among the Stanford diamonds are the gems once owned by Queen Isabella of Spain, which were sold a few years ago in Paris. It is not known when the diamonds will be sold. It was thought by some jewelers that after all the sales would be made privately, because better prices might be obtained than if they were sold at auction. GROVER CLEVELAND SHFE The President Emerged From the Storm With a Lot of Ducks. Embarked With His Party on the Ten- der Maple for the National Capital. NORFOLK, Va., Dec. 14. — President Cleveland is to-night on Chesapeake Bay on his way to Washington. With him are Dr. O’Reilly, Commander Wildes and Lighthouse Inspector Lamberton and four big strings of ducks. The Presider t and his party left Hatteras early this morning on the Violet and ar- rived at Eiizabeth City, N. C., at 5 p. M. This route was selected owing to the fact that the Violet could not come through the canal, the water having gone down to a depth of only five feet. At Elizabeth City a special train was secured over the Norfolk and Southern Railroad, and the party left there at 7 o'clock, arriving in Berkeley, a suburb of Norfolk, at exactly 9:36 o’clock. At the railroad wharf the lighthouse tender Maple was waiting, and it took,just twelve minutes to transfer the ducks and luggage of the party to the Maple, which | cast off her lines and started for the Na- tional capital at 9:48 o’clock. The President has had fairly good luck, but has experienced some rough weather. He says he has heard of ex-Senator Thur- man’s death with deep regret, but declined w0 talk of affairs of state. He will reach Washington Sunday night. President Cleveland’s arrival soon be- came known at Elizabeth City, and hun- dreds flocked to the wharf to shake hands with him. A large number of the preach- ers of the Methodist conference called and paid their respects. Cleveland was look- ing well and appeared to be in excellent health and spirits, despite the bad weather, which prevented his enjoying his ducking on Currituck Sound. Asthe crowd left the wharf three cheers were proposed for the President and given heartily. A Pensions for Californians. WASHINGTON, D.

MRS. HAYWARD’S STORY. In Her Presence the Accused Threatened the Life of Stillwell. READY TO PUT HIM TO DEATH. Fickle Conduct of the Millionaire’s Wife an Important Part in the Prosecution. ‘BOWLING GREEN, Mo., Dec. 14.—Mrs. John K. Hayward of Chicago was the first witness examined in the Stillwell murder trial to-day. She swore that one day in June, prior to the murder, while visiting at Hannibal she called at Dr. Hearne's office and found the doctor ab- sent and the inner door locked. While waiting in the park opposite the doctor’s office for his return she saw him come out of the door and walk away. Mrs. Stillwell also came out shortly after and went in another direction. The witness caught up with her and accused her of having been at Dr. Hearne's and' Mrs. Stillwell ad- mitted it. That night she slept with Mrs. Stillwell and the famous conversation took place which is cutting so important a figure in this trial.} Mrs. Stillwell told her guest she was un- happy on account of her relations with Dr. Hearne and would gladly break them off. She said she could see only trouble ahead, but that Dr. Hearne had such influence over her that she did not seem to be able to break away from him. “‘She asked,” continued the witness, “if 1 would go to Dr. Hearne and ask him to have no more to do with her; that if he would give her up she would give him up. I consented. The next day atnoon Dr. Hearne came to the Stillwell house. I saw him in the parlor. “*I understand,’ he said to me, ‘that you know how matters stand between us.’ *‘I told him I did. Dr. Hearne thensaid: ‘Well, the fact is, I want Mrs. Stillwell to get a divorce and marry me.” “He said that if she got a divorce she would get alimony. I told him that Amos Stiliwell was not the kind of a man everto give his wife alimony. ‘Do you really be- lieve that?’ he asked. ‘Yes I said. ‘Well,” was his answer, ‘I could have Amos Stillwell slugged for $2 50.” “Dr. Hearne also spoke to me about my knowledge of the fact that Mr. Stillwell had come home from St. Lounis one night and found him in the house. ‘Suppose Amos Stillwell had seen you what would you have done?’ I asked. ‘I would bave shot him,’” he said. ‘Then youwould have been hanged for murder,” I told him. His reply was that no one would suspect him; that the public would think a burglar did it.” At the close of that conversation Dr. Hearne declared that he would not give Mrs. Stillwell up, and when the witness suggested to him that she might tell all he said that he would kill any one who stood in his way. Cross-examination did not shake her tes- timony. Considering the day’s developments it looks darker for the defendants now than on any day since the trial began. Henry Nicholls, a witness for the State who testified yesterday, was assaulted on the street to-day by Attorney G. M. Harris of the defense. They were separated be- fore any damage was don % THREATENED THE CZAR. Discovery of a Nihilistic Conspiracy at Moscow. LONDON, Exa., Dec. 14.—A dispatch to the Central News from Cracow says it is reported that the Czar has lately received several threatening letters. The dispatch adds that a nihilistic conspiracy against the life of his Majesty has been discovered in Moscow. The police of that city have seized a number of bombs. Several arrests have been made. Among the prisoners are Rasputen, a prominent nihilist, and his wife. “For years I had suf- fered from falling of the womb, inflammation of the stomach, and weakness of the female organs. “I used Lydia E.
