A San Francisco Gallant the Plaintiff in a Strange Action. LOVE'S LABOR THAT WAS LOST. Della Parent Asked to Reimburse the Erstwhile Suitor for Her | Hand. SAN JOSE, CaL., Dec. 23,—Frank J. Roussey of San Francisco to-day began suit in Justice Gass’ court against Della | Yarent, to recover $10990 alleged to have been expended upon her under promise of | marriage. | In the complaint Roussey sets forth that be first met with Della Parent in this city on August 12, 1895, and within a few hours had proposed marriage to herand been accepted.

C. De Poister Secures the Dismissal | of His Attorney. | JOSE, Can, Dec. 23.—A. C. de Poister, the defendant in a divorce suit | brought by his wife and who has been in iail for several months in lieu of $2000 bonds to keep the peace, created quite a sensation in court this morning when the divorce case was called. In the com t Mrs. Catherine de Poister charges her hus- | band with extreme cruelty and with keep- | ing company with other women. They were married in 1882 and have two chil- dren, of whom the mother wants the cus- tody. | When the case was called this morning De Poister arose and asked that his attor- ney be discharged, as he wanted to con- duct the case himself. This was finally granted, as the attorney wished to with- draw. The case was then continued fora | week in order to allow De Poister time to | secure his witnesses. As De Poister was leaving the conrt- room he caught sight of George Schultz, who is to be a witness for his wife. He asked the Deputy Sheriff for a pistol with | which to kill Schmltz, and it was with dif- ficulty that he was removed from the courtroom. De Poister threatens to make things interesting in Santa Clara if ever he gets out of jail. PYLE-PIE CY SUIT. The Second Action for Breach of Promise ' Commenced. SAN JOSE, Car., Dec.

Attorney John A. Percy Petitions for the Guardianship of the Col- lateral Minor Heirs. The story published some weeks ago in TuE CavrL regarding a probable speedy set- tlement of the estate of the late James G. Fair is rapidly developing to that end. The warring heirs on the immediate line have virtually settled their differences, and the executors, who were objected to by these heirs, are no longer regarded as common enemies. But there are a score or more of coliateral heirs, both of age and under, whose claims, although not for startling amounts, are calculated to retard the distribution of the values. John A. Percy, the attorney for the col- lateral heirs, made & very significant move yesterday when he petitioned the Probate Court to be appointed guardian of the minor heirs, the children of James H. and Barah J. Fair and of John W. Lundy ana Mary J. Lundy. The minors on the Fair side are Thomas E., aged 18; Sarah A., 16; Margaret. M., 13; James G., 12; William A., 10; Theresa M., 7, and Jokn W. 1. The Lum{y youg\gstem are William D., aged 12; Bertram F., 10; ‘Winnifred H., 8; Jessie J.,5; Mary .'l.. 3, and John A., 2. Mr. Percy is the attorney of record for tbe absent collateral heirs, and when he | was the only one a | ties | ley is out of politics. addition to being attorney for the elders he will be 1n position to confer with Judge Van R. Paterson, the attorney for Herman Oelrichs Jr. in an effort to sustain the trast claims in the will. By so doing all the claims will be bunched and the immediate heirs will have clear sailing in their own settlement without spending untold thousands in annoying and tedious litigation. MORE WATER SAMPLES. Crystal Spring, San Andreas, Pilarcitos and Belmont Visited by the Board of Health. The Board of Health is apparently de- termined to have namerous samples of every water supply from which the Spring Valley Company pumps water into this City, for in spite of the rain which fell last | Saturday the board journeyed to the more distant reservoirs of the company and brought back the usual load of well-filled demijohns, The health officials were out before day- light, and it was long after dark before they again reached their homes, wet to theskin and covered with mud. Dr. Hart nt, being detained by an urgent case. With the board went cretary Godchaux, Professor Rising, the te analyist, and Professor Wenzell, the ofiicial bacteriologist. The pumping station at Belmont was first visited and samples from Alameda Creek obtained. Then Pilarcitos, San An- dreas and Crystal Spring lakes were visited in_succession. The samples, like those taken from the reservoirs in this City, will be subjected to analyses to show whether they contain organic or chemical impuri- jes sufficient to make the water unfit for drinking purposes, A report from the entire lot of samples is expected at the next meeting of the board BUCKLEY TELLS STORIES One Is About Clifton Mayne and That Metropolitan Franchise. The Other Is His Explanation of Why a Big Newspaper is His Enemy. Chris Buckley, the Ravenswood farmer, | got back to the City night before last after a two weeks' stay in rural parts, and the | advice and consultation which the chief engineers of the Buckley faction prize so | highly and heed so well could be secured y the leaders at the Occidental Club yes- terday in larger amounts than over the telephone wire. Buckley and his supporters are losing no opportunity of declaring that Boss Buck- Chrisand hisfriends said so again yesterday. The Buckleyites want to be in a position to say to the pub- lic and to the State convention: “It’s a libel, Weare not a Buckley faction, but the regular Democratic party. Buckley may be friendly to some of us personally, but Le is out of politics; isn’t controlling this o nization, and will keep his hands off. All this ‘Buckley? cry is a Lulla- baloo raised by this handful of revo- lutionists to get hold of the parity.” * That is what they will say and they will | try to make that bluff win. So Buckley kindly advises his friends what to do and how to do, and they follow all of his advice, but Mr. Buckley is out of politics. There is probably involved somewhere in the proposition a great big difference between *“‘advice” and ‘‘direc- ion,” and this when discovered will ex- clearly Mr. Buckley’s outness. Buckley told his story of the Clifton E. | Mayne matter—the matter of Mr. Mayne's recent stories that he went in with Buckley in 1850 to run the Metropolitan Electric Railway franchise through the Board of Supervisors by methods which brought about Mayne’s indictment by a Grand wrongly escaped. ey’s story was as follows: Mayne was introduced to me in 1890 by At- ¢ George Perry. Maynme explained bhis railway franchise take an interest in it. I sized him up es an ad- venturer and one incapable of managing such ascheme. He said that he had bonded s great | deal of land near the Park and he appeared to be a professional boomer anxious to carry out 4 big real estate schewe. I refused to have anything to do with the schewme, but Mayne persisted, especially in Oc- tober, 1890, All T said to eny of the Super- Visors was to advise thei to let the thing alone and especially cautioned them not 1o ao any- thing looking like & *cleau-up” before going out of office. In November I went to Europe, and the franchise was given while I was in London and bad nothing to do with it. I will y that Mayne told me during a talk afterward that he had made & contract with the maneging editor of & morning paper by which the paper was to back the measure and get Mayor Pond to sign it and receive $12,000 1f the scheme was successtul. ’l'he(ra er, he said, lived up to its agreement, and he said that he had foolishly surrendered the contract. About four months ago, shortly after he was indicted by the Grand Jury for some fraud in another direction, Mayne called on me and said that some of my enemies had offered to clear him of the indictment if I would swear to some statements they had prepared and on which they wanted to indict we. mitted that I had never had any business transactions with him. He declared thathe was not guilty of the charge against him, and, as he nad come to we for advice, I advised him to stand trial openly. QfBuckley also gave his of why a'certain influential journal is now and has been vigorously opposing him. His story involved a certain half-forgotten electric light franchise which was not granted in 1890, The proprietor of that journal came to me in the fall of 1890 with information that he | wanted afranchise foran electric light company and esked me 1o go and see his business repre- sentative in'the Nevada biock. This man told me that the people interested had $20,000 in- vestedi n the electric light scheme and couldn’t get a franchise from the Supervisors. Then he said, “Now, you are the Board of SBupervisors,” end offered me 3000 shares at $2 a share. I both declined and resented the offer and left, but before 1 went I was told that the news- peper in question would ruin me. The attack was soon begun and Las been kept up ever since. Buckley, who for a short time has made the Savoy his City headquarters, has returned to the Baldwin Hotel. NEW MASONIC OFFICERS. Installations Held in Oriental and Occi- dental Lodges Last Evening.

Bellringer Celebrated Ladies’ Day by Defeating a Field of Eleven. | MISS MAXIM WAS A SURPRISE. Three Favorites in Front—Pat Murphy | Won Driving—Jack Richelien | Beaten a Nose. The holiday attractions downtown and the inclemency of the weather kept many of the fair sex from attending the races at Ingleside yesterday, which was ladies’ day. | However, the grand stand was comfort- | ably filled with the fair race-lovers and the customary crowd of regulars filled the bet- ting ring. ‘The rain was the least enjoyable feature of the day, for the sport was good. | Previous to the first race the track was | cuppy, but when the light rain began fall- ing it again became slushy, somewhat | tangling up form figurers. Colors of the | favorites flashed past the judges three times in front, and the crowd rushed for the cars at the conclusion of the last event | well satisfied with the day’s racing. Probably thelargest field that ever faced the flagin a jumping race in this State lined up in the hurdle event at a mile and three - sixteenths over five jumps. The handicap was an excellent one, and twelve good jumpers accepted their weights. In the betting J O C, carrying 148 pounds, ruled favorite at 214 to 1, with Silverado, backed from sixes to 4 to 1, second choice. The Hildreth pair, Cicero and Bellringer, came next in demand at sixes,with Oregon Eclipse, Tom Clarke and Nellie G fancied |in the order named. The outsiders had | long prices quoted against them. When | the flag sent them on their journey, Alexis showed prominently in front until nearin, the last hurdle, where Spence gave Bell- ringer, who had been galloping in that po- sition under wraps, his head, and followed by J O C, the pair drew away from the bunch. Bellringer easily held the three-year-old safe and won by a head. The winner's stable companion Cicero was a good third. Old White Cloud dropped dead at the con- clusion of the race. There were several spills during the run, but with one excep- | tion the riders escaped injury. Barney Schreiber’s popular purple and orange colors showed in front in the open- ing six-furlong dash. Zoolein was lgeavu{ backed at 6 to 5 and evens, but it tool some good hard riding on Chorn’s part to | beat the 25to0 1snot Myron out a neck. | Lttle Mid again finished third. There were but five starters in the mile and a half run. Dan Honig’s Julia O, who | defeated Cadmus so handily on Friday last, was held a 6 to 5 choice in the ring, and after waiting on the others until the stretch was reached, drew away and won easily by three lengths. Fi Fi beat the 7 to b second choice, Foremost, out a head for the place. The latter was despicably ridden by Bob Isom. The seven-furlong handicap, with four starters, was a splendid betting affair, all of the entries being accorded more or less support. In the opening betting twos and take your pick was chalked against Fer- rier, Rosebud and Adolph Spreckels, with Miss Maxim at 4. The heaviest play, though, was on Adolph Spreckels, who went to the post 9 to 5, the others receding in the betting. The unexpected happened, for the out- sider of the quartet, Miss Maxim, went to the front, and gradually increasing her advantage, won %y six lengths. Rosebud, who at one stage looked formidable, was beaten out four lengths by the favorite. Pat Murphy bad his Irish up yesterday, and starting an 8 to 5 favorite for the fifth race. a six-furlong sprint, won by a scant bead in a hard drive from Realization, after leading most of the way. Lucky Dog, the second choice, who started out with good intentions, quit badly in the stretch. The betting on the last event over six and a half furlongs indicated that the talent thought Barney Schreiber would score another win, for Jack Richelieu was heavily backed at 8 to 5. His downfall could 'be blamed to Chorn’s riding. After fiemnz his mount away fourth, Jerrv ept him in that position” until rounding the far turn, when he began dropping back and was sixth into the stretch. It now looked as though imp. Ivy, wio had been making the running, would win, but the last 10(? yards she was in turn passed by “THE CALL” " wenty-second Day of the Pacific Coast Jockey Ingleside Track, San Francisco, Monday, December 23, 189!

Track and Paddock Items. ‘When Oregon Eclipse, Alexis and Un- certainty fell taking the last jump in the hurdle race it looked as though some one must be injured, but all of the riders escaped unscathed. Ambrose, who rode Esperance, who fell taking the fourth jump, did not get off so luckily, for he suffered a severe fracture of the shoulder- blage, which will keep him out of the saddle for some time. Riley Grannan, it is said, would have put a crimp in the ring had Imp. Ivy finished | first instead of third. George Wheelock thought 8 to 5 a big price against Jack Richlieu and took very little money against him in his book. Bob Isom rode like a veritable novice on the back of Foremost. Down the back- stretch he took the horse back and ‘specta- tors thought he was pulling up to speak to some of the stable boys on the hill. ‘With any sort of a ride his mount should have been an easy second and might have made the winner extend herself. The judges sent for Messrs. Hoag and Little yesterday and asked sor explanation of the running of Realization. The son of Regent had been sadly amiss in nearly all of his races of late, and no doubt the gen- tlemen, by their pocket-book and nothing else, were able to satisfy the demand. The Pacific Coast Jockey Club has pre- pared a great programme of sport for Christmas, the closing day of the meeting. Tha Hobart stakes for two-year-olds at six furlongs, worth $1500 to the winner, with the best two-year-olds on the track entered, is but one of the splendid events to be run off. ‘Che Christmas handicap over a mile, with twenty-nine starters, promises to be a rare treat. The weights have been so delicately adjusted that a big field is sure to face the flag. The following list of entries will show what a high-class field it will be: Semper Lex 118, Bright Pheebus 118, Liber- tine 115, Sister Mary 113, Installator 112, Strathmeath 109, imp.

The tall fence on the grounds of the Crocker mansion, which was built to ex- clude from sight the humble property of the long since deceased undertaker, Cap- tain Young, was the subject of a warm discussion before the Board of Supervisors | yesterday, which resulted in the resolu- tion ordering the Superintendent of Streets to remove the structure being sent back to the Judiciary Committee for further con- sideration. A sort of holiday spirit seemed to per- vade the meeting, and when the clerk read the resolution for passage to print in his usual monotonous voice no one paid any attention to 1t, and the chairman ordered it passed in the absence of a protest. Later Supervisor Taylor wanted to know what had become of it, and, on learning the course it had taken, moved for a reconsid- eration, and was opposed by Supervisor King, who, in a speech savoring of a play to the gallery and glittering with original constructions of the language, contended that the poor had rights as well as the rich and that it was only right that the fence should be torn down. ' Supervisor Taylor touched a sensitive chord which found an echo in the heart of even ‘‘the reformer’” when he spoke of the possibility of a suit for big damages against the members of the board in c?;e e cited the case of a former board wnich had been mulcted in a large amount for over- stepping their authority in a similar mat- er. ‘When he moved to send the resolution back to the Judiciary Committee for fur- ther consideration there was not one dis- senting voice raised. A communication from the Grand Jury, cailing attention to the disorderly houses on Morton and other side streets and the oker games running in the City, was re- Ferred to the District Attorney, to learn whether ordinances other than those now on the books are needed to carry out the recommendations of the jury. Auditor Broderick sent in a communica- tion declining to audit the salary demand of John J. Suliivan, the bond clerk re- cently appointed by the board, on the ground that he could find no law justify- ing the appointment orauthorizing him to sign the warrants. The Supervisor from the First Ward of- fered a resolution appointing L. Shirlock gardener of South Park. Supervisor Di- mond thought the action rather precipi- tate, as the applicant. had not been passed upon by any committee, and moved that the matter be referred to the Street Com- mittee. Supervisor Taylor moved, as a substitute, that the matter be indefinitely postponed. Rather a peculiar state of affairs for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors then ensued. Neither the majority nor minority voted as they have been wont to do, the vote stanaing five to five on the substi- tute, the original motion and finally on the resolution. This left L. Shirlock with- out a job. The board adjourned to the first Monday in January. ——————— BODE, THE ARTIST, DEAD. His Widow and Six Children in Desti- tute Circumstances. The remains of W. M. Bode, the artist, were buried yesterday morning. Unfortu- nately he died poor and leaves to the un- certain care of the world a widow and six children who are in destitute circum- stances. Fortunately for the family the Salvation Army learned of their condition and with kind and_tender hands minis- tered to their immediate wants. There is ne doubt but that these noble workers will continue to give such assistance asis in their power until permanent relief is afforded.

DUNBAR IS CRITICIZED, College and Students Still Dis- turbed Over the Junior-Class Controversy. VACATION FOR THREE WEEKS. Drs. Dennis and Knowles Critically Discuss the Management of the Institution. According to Dr. @’ Ancona of the College of Dentistry the trouble between the junior class and Dr. Sharp, the protege of Dr. Dunbar, is at an end. The students made certain concessions to the dean of the faculty which seemed to cover all the points in the case except the question of Dr. Sharp’s competency. In view, how- ever, of the unpleasant notoriety and the issues that were being brought into the controversy Dr. Dunbar was willing to let the matter drop. On the other hand the students vigor- ously deny that any compromise had been made. They say that if a communication has been addressed to the dean of the faculty expressing anything further than mere regret for the classroom episode it did not come from them as a body. They have no intention of acknowledging Dr. Sharp as a competent instructor, though this antagonism is not to be construed in any way as reflecting on his ability as an operator. The trouble between the junior class and the faculty has excited a great deal of interest, not only among the remaining 135 students but among the members of the State Dental Association and the people who Yuzronize the college as well. The Jocal dentists are very antago- nistic toward Dr. Dunbar, which ‘is dus to the belief that he 1s running the insti tion for the money there is in it. This, of course, has been the means of injectin, into the fight certain well-known ani reputable dentists, who apparently have only the interest of the profession at heart. They allege that the college is being run from a financial end only and are con- sequently opposed to any method which must ultimately bring the entire pro- fession into disrepute. Dr. d’Ancona emphatically denies the statement that there is a revenue from the vperating department of the college. He says that not one dollar is received from that source above what is absolutely neces- smiy to an the expenses. The books are audited every twelve months, and if there is a surplus the cost to patients for the next year is reduced. Bome years have shown a few hundred dollars over, while others have run con- siderably behind. & Dr. d’Ancona further says, in view of the fact that the students made no formal charges against Dr. Sharp, but have made their fight through the newspapers, the facuity will not pay the slightest atten- tion to the matter. “It is time enough,” said he, “to order an investigation when the charges are reduced to writing.” Dr. Knowles, a prominent Post-street dentist, does not feel kindly toward the College of Dentistry for reasons which he explains in the following interview: My chief objection to the College of Dentistry is found in the men at the head of it. Dr. Dunbar is particularly objectionable, because he has in times past been guilty of many acts |- directly against the ethics of the profession. It is not necessary to enumerate these mow, but it suffices to say that he was suspended for twelve months by the State De Association. Tne charge has been made that the college is run for the money there is in it. I think this is true to a certain extent. Itcame under my rsonal observation where a man “‘l!ch&rgeé 3 for filling a tooth, the filling of which could not have cost exceeding fifty cents. It is quite probable, however, that had I been called upon to do the same piece of work I would have charged from $10 to $15. That is just where the main kick comes against the college. People who are able to patronize some reputable dentist have their work done atthe college at what appears 10 be & mini- mum figure, yet, when it is remembered that the students themselves do the work, it will be seen that there is a big profit for some one. Dr. C. C. Dennis, who was for several years dean of the college, thinks an official investigation should be made. He said last night: As to the difficulty between the faculty and the junior class, I know but little of the merits and demerits except what I learn from the press. It looks exceedingly unreasonsble to me, however, that one class or one portion of all the students, should be suspended for the acts of two students, more particularly when it is so difficult to distinguish as to who par- ticipated in what mightbe termed insubordina- tion.

The Liabilities of Stockholders Decided by Justice of the Peace Kerrigan. In the case of Peterson vs. Waymire, the defendant being a stockholder in the San Francisco and San Mateo Electric | Railroad Company, Justice Kerrigan yes- terday rendered a decision in favor of the plaintiff. ; : Peterson was injured in an accident on the railroad company’s line on January 3, 1895, and sued for damages, being awarded $2500 in the Superior Court on February 7 following. In order to collect his judgment he was compelled to sue the stockholders on their individual liability as such. The Justice decided that under the statutes the stock- holders are liable, and gave judgment ac- cordingly. 10 PRONIBIT BURIALS, An Attempt to Prevent Inter- ments in the Richmond District. The Question Before the Supervisors— It Is Not Likely the Measure Will Pass. The Richmond property-owners’ fight against the City cemeteries has been trans- ferred to the Board of Supervisors, backed by the fayorable action of the Committee on Health and Police. It was recom- mended thatno more burial lots be sold by the City cemetery companies, but that only those already owned by private par- ties be allowed to be used for the purpose purchased. Supervisors King and Dimond of the committee submitted a minority res port, which only prohibited the establish~ ment of more cemeteries in the City or the enlargement of those within the cor« porate limits. . ‘When the matter came up before the board yesterday it was decided to refer the matter to the Health and Police Commit- tee (for further consideration, as the cemetery people had not been given an opportunity to defend their side of the question. 4 : “I am in favor of finally stopping burials within the City himits,” said Supervisor Dimond in an’interview, *but not in the manner proposed. There are only a few more vacant lots in the cemeteries. They cannot be used for any other purpose, and to prohibit that use would be virtuaily con- fiscating the property. In a few years there will be no more vacant space in those graveyards, and then the problem will have been solved.” Attorney Hubbs, one of the principal members of the Richmond Protective As- sociation, is confident that the measure will be passed by the Board of Super- visors. It is generally believed, however, that the motion, in its present form, will not pass the board, as the cemetery eampanies are making a determined fight against it. e e DR. GRISWOLD LOCATED.
