Miss Mattie Overman when seen yester- O. Brown appeared very much careworn ana looked like one who had given up all bope for the future. When asked what she desired to say con- cerning letters which it is claimed were written by her to Mrs. Tunnell and which were published yesterday morning her reply, calm and ‘deliberate, was: “I have “But do 3 u not see, Miss Overman,” ed, ‘‘that these letters place you before the public in 2 most unenviable she replied in the toneof one “put I will not ssy anything I have not said any forlorn, about the matter.

Mode of Procedure In Case Charges Are Preferred Against the Pastor. D. Gilbert Dexter and Captain W. F. Cook, deacons of the First Congregational Church, declined to say anything yester- day about the letters said to have been written by Miss Mattie Overman, in which she tells the story of her relations with Rev. Dr. Brown. “So far as I know,” said Mr. Dexter, ~‘the Rev. Mr. Brown has not signified his intention of resigning, and if he had I think I would know something of it. Itis my belief, from what I know of Mr. Brown, that he will not resign. So far nothing has been done in the line of asking Mr. Brown for his resignation, nor have any charges been preferred against him. . ‘““A statement has been published to the into this matter or demand for resignation it wounld become the duty of the trustees of the church to attend to that matter. That is a mistake. The trustees do not have control of that matter. It belongs to the standing committee, of which the board of deacons forms a part. “The trustees Lhave only charge of finan- cial matters,”” said Deacon Cook. *‘If they saw fit they might reduce the salary of Mr. Brown to $1 a year, and he would still be pastor of the church if he saw fit to accept that as salary.” . “Any member of the congregation,” con- tinued Mr. Dexter, “could prefer charges against the pastor, and these would be referred to the standing committee or the board of deacons, and, if it was determined that there was any merit in them, the matter would then be left to the congrega- tion for trial and determination. The con- gregation could, however, have the whole matter investigated by a specizl committee. ‘“The trustees couid not dismiss the pastor, but the standing committee could; yet, in order to make the action binding, the trustees would have to concur.” iy MRS. COOPER IS SAD. Says That Dr. Brown Should Con- fess and Repent for His Sin. Mrs. Sareh B. Cooper, the well-known philantbropist and Bible teacher, patroness of the young, and pillar of the First Con- gregational Church, declares that the Rev. Dr. Brown should confess his sin before God and resign his pastorate. Mrs. Cooper | said: Oh, why does he not confess his sin before God and man and in repentance begin life anew? That is the only way; no other course is accentable 1n the sight of God. Dr. Brown hes no alternativebut to resign. Why does he not do so and prevent further probing into this awful sore? have not called upon him, as I felt I should do, Lecuuse I could not offer him words of encouragement which I have not in my heart, Why does he not confess his sin before God and may, and in repentance in some obscure place begin life anew? 1 do not know whet the church will do in this ma.ter, for I heve not talked with mem- bers concerning it. We will leave it with the deacons, trusting in their wisdom and judg- ment 10 do that which is best for all con- cerned. This terrible affair will give the church a set- back from which it will not recover in ten years. It will be taken uphy the enemies of religion as & cudgel, and while it wiil not in- jure the cause to a material extent it will nev- ertheless do nogood. The First Congregational church will rise again, and in the years that are to come will wipe out the siain these awful events have placed upon it. That church has been my home for years, but left Sunday it appeered to me as & mauscleum. Words cannot express the sorrow I have experienced in the past few days, filied e they were with such frightful diselosures. REs S DR. BROWN IS SILENT. The Pastor Says That He Is Acting Under the Advice of His Attorney. The Rev. Dr. Brown is silent. He will not discuss the Overman-Tunnell letters or any other phase of the great church scan- dal. Press representatives were denied ad- mittance to the pastor’s residence yester- day. Every effort was made to give Dr. Brown an opportunity to defend himself, but he refused to make a statement for publication. Dr. Brown was called up by telephone at his residence last night. *‘Doctor,” said the reporter, ‘‘THE CALL is willing to publish a statement from you in this —* I have nething to say,” interrupted Dr. Brown. “Don’t you think that you owe it to vour people, that is your flock, to make a public statement of your position 2"’ My lawyers will not allow me to speak,’” was the answer. ‘It certainly would not injure your po- sition as plaintiff in the case against Mrs. Davidson to discuss late developments. | Besides, your people were still standing by you, and —— “Yes, and they will stand by me, you can depend on that,” replied Dr. Brown in a hopeful voice. e al s WILL STAND BY DR. BROWN. Dr. McLean Will Not Forsake the Pastor Until He Is Proven Guilty. OAKLAND, Car.,, Jan. 7.—Rev. J. K. McLean, D.D., is dean of the Congrega- tional ministers of the Pacific Coast, and for twenty-five years has been pastor of the First Congregational Church of Oak- land. Some six months ago he resigned to accept the presidency of the Pa- cific Theological Seminary. His views regarding what steps may or can be taken by the church of which Dr. Brown is pastor will be received with all the weight that his standing gives it. I feel,” said he I night, “that 1 should stand by Dr. Brown until he is proven guilty. In our relationship as Christian men and members of the same denomination swe naturally suppose that all are what th represent themselves and are real Christians, equally interested in seeing the cause advanced. The church, 1 think, should look at it in the same light. In all my experience as a minister I have never been where a minister of our denomination has been tried by the church, and do not know just what the procedure would be from experience. “However I think that nothing should be done until the trial now in progress is completed. If thereis evidence brought out which the members of the church feel is inconsistent with standing of Dr. Brown as their pastor, any one member can file charges and a trial will have to be neld, A cotrt can compel witnesses to attend and testify. A church inquiry can- not; so it is usually held after the court trial, and the records of that trial can be introduced as evidence. In such a case Dr. Brown would be given due notice of tbhe trial and a copy of the charge. He would then be requested to make an an- swer. After a full hearing a verdict would be rendered for or against him. If it was against him he would be disfellowshipped. “In reading over what has been pub- lished regarding the trouble, I have seen nothing that is at all criminal charged against Dr. Brown. At the most it looks as if he had been guilty of paying marked attention to women of his congregation. It is a bad affair at worst, and coming as it does after the trouble of that church with Rev. Dr. Barrows, is to be great lamented. It is a great blow to Chri tianity here on the coast. Every one who has a scheme to work comes here, and, under the cloak of being a Christian worker, gets a good footing. ““Where the scheme is worked the church gets ull the blame. I do not believe the church should do anything now until the present trial ends. As far as I know they are not nrranf:ing for anything at present. *‘As faras the Congregational Club is con- cerned they received his statement a week ago Monday and indorsed his act to cap- ture the one who was attempting to black- mail him. Al this other was not known to us at thattime. We shall do nothing more at present, but await the action of the courts,” ARLINGTON YACHT CLUB. Officers for the Ensuing Season Elected at a Meeting Held Last Thursday. The Arlington Yacht Club of this City held its regular annual meeting on the 2d inst. for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing season. Following is the result of the election: Commodore, J. Leslie Gabriel; vice-commo- dore, E. H. Roberts; fleet captain, Albert G. Kohn; captain, George F. Powell: secretary, Edward L. Dorr; treasurer, Gus P. Aurich. The yacht Ethel L is at present being elegantly refitted for the season of 96, and the members of the club are confident that ere the last race of the coming series has been sailed the little Ethel will have added many more to her already long list of vic- tories. ———————— McEttrick’s Request. Among the Massachusetts delegation in the Fifty-second Congress was Representa- tive McEttrick, an honest man, an able man, but a man with a large, bulkous, ru- bicund nose, a flaring, conspicuous nose, a real danger signal of a proboscis. Speaker Crisp, in making up the committees, as- signed McEttrick to the Committee on Al- cobolic Liquor Traffic. There was no design init. It just happened so. It was a good place, whether a man had a red, showy nose or a pale, unostentatious one. McEt- trick, at the first favorable opportunity, hunted up the Speaker. “Mr. Speaker,” said he, “I want to re- quest you to take me off the Committee on Alcoholie Liquor Traffic.” “Why, Mr. McEttrick?” asked the Hpeaker, concentrating his gaze earnestiy upon the nose in front of him. “Look at my nose,” said McEttrick, in a burst of candor; *‘just look at my nose.’’ “Well, I see ii,”’ said the Speaker, *“What's the matter with that nose?” “What's the matter with that nose?” asked McEttrick, “what’s the matter with that nose? Did you ever see a nose like it? If I served on the Committee on Alco- holic Liquor Traffie every street arab in Bostom would guy the life out of me; it would ruin me with my constituents, and the reputation of that committee wounldn’c be worth 3 cents on the dollar. No, Mr. BSpeaker, a man with a nose like mine has no business to be sticking it into the Com- mittee on Alcoholic Ligquor Traffic.''— Washington Post.

Large Contracts for More Building Material Are Let to Californian Contractors. The San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway began building operations yesterday morning in China Basin. In- stantly there was a stir among Southern Pacific officials, and as soon as word was received at the head offices an engineer was dispatched to the scene with instruc- tions to be careful in his surveys, lest the competing railway might have encroached on Southern Pacific territory, which lies scattered all over the swamp land near Channel street. He found the Valley. road workmen driving piles at Fourth and Kentucky streets in the water of China Basin. ¢ Chief Engineer Storey of the Valley road stated that when the lease of China Basin was signed a clause stipulating that work should be started on the basin within six months was inserted. “The six months will have expired to- morrow,’”’ he continued, “‘and so we began work there ahead of time. We are driy- ing piles to support a railroad track out over the water of the basin.” “How far out?” ‘“‘As far as is nceded for dumping rock and earth into the basin for filling. We have applied for a franchise along f{linois street, which comes under conditions sim- ilar to those of the Fresno franchise now before the Supreme Court for decision. When that case is decided I suppose there will be no difficulty in the way of a fran- chise on Illinois street. Untii then, how- ever, we can’t do much in the way of fill- ing China Basin, but once we have the franchise we can begin to lay tracks and baul rock from quarries ® build a depot site.”” The directors of the Valley road met yes- terday and awarded some large contracts. To J. Meyer of San Jose was awarded a contract for 150,000 redwood ties, and to C. A. Hooper & Co. of this City 150,000, both to be delivered as required before No- vember next. These ties are needed for a short strip of line north of Fresno and the road to Bakerstield. A contract for fenc- ing the railway from Stockton to the Stan- islaus River with a five-foot fence of lum- ber and barbed wire was given H. L. App and John A. Hayward of Stockton. For iron bridgework at Dry Creek to be used in a 100-foot crossing was contracted for with the Stockton Agricultural Works. the Pacific Rolling Mills and the Payne Boit Works. The ship MacDonald arrived a few days since from New York with 800 tons of rails for the road and another ship isin port discharging a cargo of rails on Valley The great bridge across the Stainslaus River has delayed progress in laying track, but Mr. Storey stated yesterday that the piers were finished and ready for the hoisting and placing of the bridge, which was ready in Stockton. In another month, he’ said, the bridge will have been completed and then tracklaying will be pushed south with energy over the graded roadbed, which is now well on toward the Tuolumne River. Indians Melted Away Before Forty Men Whom They Knew to Be Scalp-Takers. In the pioneer days to reach Montana from Cheyenne, in Wyoming, ,required a roundabout journey that involved & double crossing of the Rocky Mountains, with a change of base at Salt Lake City. The United States Government brought about a better condition of travel by construct- ing = trail through the Gullatin Valley along the course of the Gunpewder River, reaching around the base of the mountains in a curvilinear form, which avoided the heights of the Rockies. To protect this route from marauding Indians three forts were built—Reno, Phil Kearny and C. F. Smith. These were garrisoned by United States troops. In 1866 the murderous Sioux from the Yellowstone Valley pursued a sanguinary course up through the Gallatin Valley and mto Montana. It was marked by rapine and plunder. They besieged Fort Reno and killed many of its garrison, inclading a brother of A. K. McClure. They en- vironed Fort Phil Kearny, and wiped from the face of the earth everv human being whose walls it failed to protect. Then they surrounaed Fort C, F. Smith, where 200 Union soldiers found themselves surrounded by more than 1000 deaih- seeking Indians. Escape seemed impos- sible. A courier got word of this condition of affairs to General Hancock, who was then stationed at St. Paul, and he sent a messenger to the Governo= of Montana at Bozeman, calling upon him to relieve the besieged garrison. The chief executive of the Territory of Montana 2t that time was Green Clay Smith, who, by the way, re- cently died in Washington, a Baptist cler- gyman. He had been a member of Con- gress from Kentucky, but President Lincoln made himn Territorial Governor of Montana. He was seated on the porch of his residence in Bozeman when Hancock’s message was handed to him. To a visitor from the East, who was seated by his side, nn_dl who is authority for this narrative, he said : “‘What in the name of heaven can I do? Fort C. F. Smith is 250 miles away. The country between here and there is fillea with Sioux Indians. Our militia force consists of exactly 427 men. Not a man of them could reach Fort C. F. Smith alive. I am absolutely powerless. However, 1 will send for Colonel Howie. At that time Colonel Neil Howie was United States Marshal for the Territory of Montana. He was a typical frontiers- man. He commanded the Montana vol- unteers, and it has been said of him that ‘General Sherman might have been at Bozeman City with 5000 troops and the people of Gallatin could not have escaped the scalping knife of the savage; but Colo- nel Howie, with less than 400 men, pro- tected 100 miles of exposed frontier but a little distance irom the hostile tribes.” It was to this map that Governor Smith addressed himself, handing him General Hancock’s dispatch, and saying: “Colonel, we can’t do anything for those poor devils in Fort C. F. Smith. We thaven’t enough men, and those we havecouldn’t get there. Am I not right?” ‘No,” said Colonel Howie, quietly, with- out any exhibition of excitement and with the gentle voice of a woman. ‘“‘There is no trouble about that, Governor. We can arrange that matter and still leave the Montana frontier protected. I will need some picked men and a good leader for them. I think Captain McCabe is best fitted for this undertaking. I will go out and find him.” McCabe was another gentle-voiced man with blue eyes. He didn’'t make much noise. ~ He acted. He _said to the Governor: *“Oh, wyes; it is easy enough. Buv I'll need forty of the best men I can select. You can kee| the rest of your volunteer force here.” Governor Smith looked at him in amaze- ment. Sodid the visitor from the fort. They both thought he was either insane or a braggard. Governor Smith said to him: "fiow do you expect to raise the siege of Fort C. F. Smith with forty men when you know that it is sur- rounded with more than 1000 blood- thirsty Indians and that the country between bere and there is covered with thousands more of murderous Sioux?"” Said McCabe quietly: “Why, Governor, it is easy enough. The Indians know us, and know that we know them better than they know themselves. You folks from the t have an idea that what you call Ing _atrocities are simply unmeaning exhibitions of brutality; that scalping, for instance, 1s simply a form of torture. In that you are mistaken. The Indian be- lieves that no man can go to the happy hunting ground—heaven as we call it— who has been deprived of his hair. Their motive in scalping a victim is to carry out fiendish hatmg to its utmost by prevent- ing him from havinga hn{)p&( hereafter. Therefore, to deprive an Indian of his scalp is to rob him of his hope of a bappy hereafter, My men never kill an Indian without scalping him, and the Indians know that. The forty men I will select for this expedition are unerring in their aim with the rifle. They can shoot sixteen shots in sixteen seconds, and -every ball means a dead Indian, and every dead In- dian means a scalp, and every scalp means a warrior deprived eternally of a chance of ever reaching the happy hunting ground. My forty men wiil walk from here to Fort C. F. Smith without firing a shot.” ncredible,”” said Governor Smith. “True,”’ said Captain McCabe. ‘What was the result? Forty men walked the 250 miles from Bozeman to Fort C. F.Smith. Indians ‘watched them on every side. By day their progress was signaled by circling columns of smoke and by night by fire from mountain tops. But not a shot was fired. When they got within sight of Fort C. F. Smith the 1000 whooping Sioux who held the garrison in siege fled, and the forty frontiersmen from Bozeman marched in and escorted the 200 Union soldiers back to the Territorial capital without the loss of a life. Not a shot had been fired. Not a scalp had been lifted.— Philadelphia Times. ———— ELECTRICAL AOCCIDENTS. Instructions Given for the Rescuscita- tion of Victims. Means and ways to secure resuscitation from heavy electric shock have at last been discovered as a result of investiga- tion by the Academy of Medicine-in this city. The Academy selected a committee of electrical experts, and it began its labors under the presidency of Dr. d’Arsonval, well known as an authority in all matters connected with electricity. In his report Dr. d’Arsonval says that even the victims of very heavy shocks, sslong as the tissues are not destroyed, may be rescuszitated by means of artificial respiration. He learned this fact by numerous experiments, and the report of a typical accident in which his method was successfully tried con- firmed all he ever entertained for it. The doctor continued: My formula for reviving the victims of electric shock is this: A person so disabled should be treated like one drowned. These are the directive rules, which not only workmen in eiectrical industries but every citizen and every friend of humanity shou.d know by beart: Above ell, break the contaet with the con- ductors. If the current can be instantly cut off, 5o much the better; if not, lose no time by telephoning or sending messengers, but apply yourself directly to the body that must be re- moved. In dofng so touch not the victim on face or hands or auy naked part of his body. You may try to lift Bim up by the coaitails, or aiter throwing a blanket or coat around him. Mind, they must be dry. Also remember that dry wood is a non-conductor. You may use a stick 0 draw the body over 1o one sidé or (o hold back a live wire. To lift the vietim off a cross- bar pass a piece of lumber under his heels and raise him up. The same should be done if the body is in contact with the ground. His feet should be raised from the earth immediately. Any piece of wood or furniture or clotn will do. The body should be carried inio the open or a room where air has free access. All not directly engaged in the work of rescue should be instantly dismissed from the place. The body must be placed upon the back after the shirtand collar has been loosened. Reise the shoulders and let the head fall back. Then begin the work of restoring respira- tion; tnatis, seize both arms and draw them energetically over the head, bringing them nearly together and holding them in that pos tion for & couple of secouds. These move. ments having expanded the chest and presse AiT into the lungs, carry the arms down to the sides and front of the chest, doubling them up at the elbows, in_order to expel the air from the lungs. Continue in this for at least an hour, unless respiration sets in before. A second Samaritan should at the same time seize the tongue of the victim—itis well to pro- tect one’s finger with a piece of cloth or aglove for this process—ard draw it out while the arms are extended over the head, allowing it to recede when the arms are pressed against the sides of the breast. Boih these maneuvers should be carried on with as littie interruption as possible. Twenty times per minute is not too much. 1f the victim shows a tendency to clinch his teeth keep them apart by placing a piece of wood or anyihing handy beiween them. It is also advised to rub the body with brushes, brooms and cloth, in order to promote the circulation of the blood. Do not administer stimulants unless a medi- cal person pronounces it safe to do so. When possible, procure & tank of oxygen gas from the nearest drugstore, and afier improvising & cone place the tube over the mouth and nose while the gas is issuing. It is & powerful stim- ulant to the heart’s action under certsin con- dition, and will aid respiration.—Paris letter to St. Louis Globe-Democrat. e e Built by Napoleon.

Until the beginning of the centmy good roads were unknown in that vicinit, and it was reserved for the French eng neers to show the Hanoverians and their neighbors how to improve their highways by means of the bowlders found on the pfain in which the cities are sitnated. The road mentioned is generallg straight, and exists to-day practically as built. It hasa middle-paved way 143{ feet wide, which is used for heavy teaming. On one side of this is a broken-stone road 1134 feet wide and on the other side is a dirt road of equai width for farm trucking during the sum- mer. Outside the broken-stone road is a footpath 4 feet wide, and outside the airt road is a benching 514 feet wide. Inrepair- ing these and similar roads it became more and more difficult to secure bowlders, so slag from blast furnaces was, substituted, and there are now about 340 miles of slag roads in the provinee of Hanover.

Lot No. 1--Ladies’ Jackets. An assorted lot of about 100 Jackets, including various styles,in such colors as Tans, Browns, Biues and a few Blacks, made of splen- did cloths, but not of this season’s shapes. Among them wiil be found most all sizes, and garments that were sold heretofore at from $7 50 to $15 each. We have received imperative orders to close them out and not take them up in this year’'sinventory, hence the frightful cut in price. One Dollar Each.
