DRISCOLL’S TRIAL. The First Case Against the Pool- Sellers Belonging to the ¢ Big Eight.” Jerry Driscoll, the pool-seller at 20 Leidesdorff street, was on trial yesterday before Judge Joachimsen on a charge of violating the Ellert ordinance prohibiting the sale of pools on horseraces outside the inclosure where the races take place. The testimony for the prosecution was to the effect that Sergeant Shea’s squad of police purchased tickets from a clerk in the employ of Jerry Driscoll. The one particular ticket in evidence called for a wager of 25 cents on the horse Kowalsky. That horse wen the race, and the police officer drew down his winnings, and no commission was charged him for the handling of the wager. Attorn W. W. Foote, who has been specially engaged by the defense to assist Attorneys J. H. Dickinson and Julius Kahn, conducted the cress-examination. He argued that it was incumbent upon the prosecution to prove that the money placea with Driscoll’s clerk was not tele- graphed to the racetrack at Ingleside to be wagered there. Further than that, he asked that the case be dismissed, as the charge was made against Driscoll, while the evidence of the prosecution showed that Driscoll did not handle the money, nor did he issue the pool ticket. The argu- ment was continued until this morning. | DESPONDENT ARCHITECT Death of Henry S. Bestor Yes- terday at the City Receiv- ing Hospital.

Let the Capitalists of Eungland and H America Do All the Fight- 1 ing. The socizlists were addressed by Morri- | son Swift and other speakers in Mozart Hall upon the subject of the Government | ownership of railroads, last evening. The principal point was made that an equal proprietary right by the public in this or other property would give the ngt | profit to the Government and not to in- | dividuals. Swift also held that the laborer had no ireal part in the present war talk and | neither stould he have., i “Let the politician and the capifalist | do the fighting,” said the speaker, ““with | | the money-lenders of England, and let the | poor men of both countries stay at home. | They will have enough to do if they look | out “for their individual wants.

SRt e LANE LECTURES. | Opening of the Fourteenth Annual | Course at Cooper Medical College. | The fourteenth ananal course of Lane | lectures at Cooper Medical College began last evening. The lecture-room was uot crowded, but a good audience attended. Dr. L. C. Lane was the lecturer, and poke on tiie “Circulation of the Blood.” | After reviewing some of the early dis- coveries by theologians in search of the soul he led his hearers to a consideration of Harvey. Incidentally he mentioned Lavoisier, who perished in the French revolution under Robespierre, who de- | clared that France had no use for chem- | istry The great discovery made by Harvey, who found that the blood went to the heart through the veins and from it by the arteries, was announced in a little book of | 100 pages in Latin. He was the physician | to James First and Charles First. fic was 50 vears of age when he made the great discovery and lived to the ripe age of 80, although his doctrine, when it was an- nounced, was not accepted by any physi- cian over 40. “In the same manner,” said Dr. Lane, “the doctrine of antiseptics recently pro- mulgated at first received only the favor of young physicians.” Dr. Lane referred to the great discoveries made by Pasteur and Koch and asked ““Who can say that medicine has made no progress?” The next lecture of the course will be livered by Dr. G. F. Hanson on the even- ing of January 17. The subject will be , “Our Native Flora.” | HONORED AND TRUSTED. Death of a Man Well Known in Ralil- road Circles. Frank L. Parker, who died in Worcester, Mass., December 31, 1895, was well known among the railroad men of the Pacific Coast. He entered railroad service with the Vermont Central Railroad, and was subsequently appointed foreign agent of the Hoosac Tunnel Line of Boston, in 1877, He became assistant general freight agent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in 1878. In 1882 he was appointed general freight and passenger agent of the north- ern division of the Mexican Central Rail- way, and ‘was later promoted to the posi- tion of general freight and passenger agent of the entire road, uvon its comple- tion to the City of Mexico. In 1886 he became connected with the Erie Dispatch Fast Frei ht Line and held the position of assistant general manager when appointed general freight agent of the Great Northern Railway in 1890, from swhich position he resigned some three years later to engage in an old established manufacturing business with his brother in Worcester, Mass. He was married to a daughter of J. L. Willcutt, secretary of the Market-street Railway Company of this City. P menace and CATHOLICS ARE ASTIR, The Young Men’§ Institute Is Preparing for a Mass- Meeting. WILL BUILD A LARGE HALL Series of Lectures and Masses of Pub- lications on Catholic Truths in View. A movement has been started in the Young Men’s Institute having in prospect several important matters for the benefit of the order. Among the features to be discussed and acted upon are the estab- lishment of a hall association to purchase a site and erect a handsome building for the use of the institute, arranging for lec- tures and publication of Catholic litera- ture, and also increasing the membership of the society. With this end in view the committee of arrangements is distributing the follow- ing circular among members of the order and Catholic young men who may be in- terested in the matter: HEADQUARTERS YOUNG MEN'S INSTITUTE, Tenth and Market Streets, § SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 30, 1895. Dear Sir and Brother: The board of grand directors of the Young Men’s Institute have arranged for a grand rally and mass-meeting of all the members of tne Y.M. L. and their entlemen friends (eligible to membership) at Metropolitan Temple on the evening of Janu- ary 6, 1896, at 8 r. M. Matters of great impor- tance to the Young Men’s Institute and Catho- lic young men generally wili be discussed. Grand President Lynch will preside. Promi- nent members of the order, among others Hon. J. F. Sullivan and James F. Smith, will deliver addresses, which will be interspersed with musical numbers. ; There is Do necessity of impressing upon you the necessity of attending this meeting. Make it a personai matter to have the attendance as large as possibie. Yours fraternally, OMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. FRANK MCGLYNN, Chairman. Admission by card only. Several committees have been appointed to make all preparations for this mass- meeting, for the reason that it is expected to be full of significance for the Catholic society. 3 John F. Callaghan, N. J. Hoey, R. E. Fazackerly and E. J. O’Rourke have been appointed a committee on press and adver- tising. Frank McGlynn, Samuel Haskins and I. Stanton have charge of the talent and speakers. D. J. Lewis, J. W. Shanahan and W. Breslin are arranging for suitable decora- tions for the hall and stage, and B. B. Thomas, John F. Callaghan and F. J. Mc- Glynn are attending to printing, ete. The committee on reception is composed of the general committee and presidents of counciis. prominent men have been invited -presidents with the presi- al councits of the institute. “We hope to arouse new enthusiasm in the order,” said Frank McGlynn, chair- man of the commitiee, sterday. *‘So much has been said about us on the out- side we feel that the truth oughtto be wown, and this, indeed, is another cause that impelled us to call general gathe: ing of the society, In this regard our pur- pose is to make arranzements at the mass- meetings for holding a series of lectures in San Francisco and, if necessary, through e out the State on, Catholic truth, to let the veople know fairly from ourseives our i position toward our fellow-men. We shall secure eminent clergymen and laymen to speak the truth, and in some of those le tures, while we will refrain from attacks on anybody, we shall meet aspersions on our own benevolent society and uphold the truth. At the mass-meeting itseif the speakers will address the audience on these lines. L addition to the series of lectures we will cons Catholic er a plan to print and distribuze | erature throughout the State | tter broudcast the truth of Catholic teaching and of ourselves as citizens. “*Another matter will be the celebration of Institute day in a befitting manner. At the last Grand Council of the order in Vallejo it was decided to set aside one day in the year for a celebration by the insti- tute, and Washington’s birthday _in February wis chosen as thatday. Now the society will determine upon a way of observing the anniversary. “The increase of membership of the institute will be considered at the mass- reeeting, and we who have taken an active part in the movement expect to see good results from this effort. “The question of establishing a head- quarters in rented “premises has been aropped after mature deliberation. We should have to pay $300 to $500 a month for premises that we need for headquaters, | and that would be interest on 4 large sum of money. So wecame to the conclusion that it would be most advisable to build a hall of our own. This subject will be dis- cussed, and it is hoped that as a resuit of the meeting Monday night a definite and feasible plan shall be formed for a hall association. The present idea is to have a capital stock of about $75,000 to $100,000, but not to exceed §100,000, unless the sub- scriptions warrant such a course. *An association simila- to that of the Native Sons’ Hall Association will likely be organized. Then the plan is to buy a lot_in a suitable location and put upa building large enough for all purposes. Years ago the same subject was taken up and very good progress made with it, but the promoters aimed too high altogether and consequently the affair te/l through. With more modest views now «nd asociety better prepared to take up 1he question of a permangnt home in 1 Francisco we feel certain that our project will simply boom from the start. The sentiment in the order runs all that way, and as for the active movers in the matter—they are most enthusiastic. “This looks like a favorable turning point in the history of the institute.” WHY GOLLOBER SIGHED, Claims That He Was Threatened, Menaced and Intimi- dated. Directors of a San Luis Obispo Bank- ing-House Sued on Serious Charges. J. Gollober, through hisattorney, Marcus Rosenthal, has besun a suit in the Justices’ court in which he makes serious charges against R. E. Jack. W. L. Beebee, W. H. Spencer, Nathan Goldtree and A. Pre- furne, directors of the First National Bank of San Luis Obispo, one of whom—Gold- tree—is a resident of this City and County. The paragiaph of the complaint that tells the story reads as follows: That thereafter, to wit., on the 1st day of October, 1890, the said defendants, by threats, intimidation, compelled the plaintiff to, and this plaintiff did solely by reason and through fear induced by said threats, menace and intimidation, execute and deliver unto said corporation his certain negotiable promissory note in writing, in the words and figures following, etc. Up to September, 1890, as told by the complaint, Gollober conaucted a business at San Luis Obispo, when he failed, and his creditors took a hand in his affairs. A meeting was held and Gollober was NEW TO-DAY. “Pure and Sure.” BAKING POWDER. Only »unded spoonfuls are required—mnot heasing spoonfuls, told that if he would put all his available assets that were exempt.from execution into the hands of a trustee for the benefit of those to whom he was owing he would be discharged from all further claims. This, he alleges, was done, and he sup- posed he was at liberty to go on his way a poorer but wiser man. On October I of 1890, however, the defendants by the threats, menace and intimidation men- ticned forced him to sign the notes. This transaction, he says, took place after he had turned over his assets and supposed he was free of obligation. Later the bank transterred the notes, aggregating $252 3 to Marcus Lasar, who sued on them in March, 1393, and obtained a judgment, which Gollober was compelled to pay in order to save having an execution levied on his property. The plaintiff states in his complaint that the directors of the bank knew that the notes were not legal from the manner in which they were obtained, and sues for the amount he was compelled to pay, with costs.

The Millionaire Dies of Kidney Disease at Lane’s Hos- pital. He Will Be Buried at Bloomfield To- Day—Between Thirty and Forty Heirs. Hollis Hitchcock, the eccentric million- aire, who has been il for some time past | of Bright’s disease at Dr. Lane’s hospital, died yesterday afternoon. His nephews, Mr. Le Baron of Sonoma ant Ben F. Hitchcock of Salinas, were with him. The will of the millionaire was made over a week ago, his nephew, «x-District Attorney L. V. Hitchcock of Tehama, coming here in reference to it. It is said the old gentlema estate will amount to from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. It is mainly in lands, though he owns inter- ests in five banks and has $100,000 worth of stock in the Donahue railroad. How much other property he owns it is ditficult to tell, as the old man was quite secretive. His land lies in large tracts in Sacra- mento, Sonoma, Mendocino, Marin, Mon- terey, Fresno and other counties. One of his most valuable properties is the old Sam Potter ranch in Sonoma. He also owns 3000 acres on Grizzly Isiand, in tne Sacramento River. There are between thirty and forty heirs, most of them being nephews and nieces, and residing about baif and haif in East- ern Canada and California. Seven oreignt of the California relatives, however, are said to be the beneficiarics. The funeral will take place at Bloom- field, via Petaluma, in Sonoma County, to-morrow. He was a cattle-dealer in the early days, and made much money in ving beeves to the mines. His profits were invested largely in Jands at low firures. He was a notable character. TO PREVENT BURIALS.

A Nice Point of Military Law May Deprive Colonel O'Connor of a Command. Dispatches from Sacramento announce that Governor Budd will to-day issue the commission of Colonel Macdonald, pur- suant to the recent election, it being held that the election was legal. General War- field last evening expressed his satisfac- tion, stating that the finding was just what he expected, since it upheld the de- cision rendered from brigade headquar- ters. In connection with the recent election | there is a nice point in military law which affects the prospects of two of- ficers who were successiul in their fight for indorsement, and fore the board of location for determina- tion. The ofiicers affected are Colonel O’Conncr, who was indorsed for lieuten- ant-colonel, and Captain Tilden, retired, who was indorsed for major. When the consolidation of regiments was effected it forced upon the list of supernumeraries Lieutenant-Colonels Crocker, Geary and Smith and Majors Drady, Huber and Jansen, and these men thus became subject to assignment for duty at the pleasure of the commander-in- chief. The brigade orders under which Colonel Macdonald was elected called not for the election of a lieutenant-colonel ana a major, but for an expression of the official preference for those positions.
