4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1896. ROMANCE OF SHASTA, Mrs. Gillespie Learns That Her Hushand Still Lives. MOURNED MANY YEARS. She Had Not Seen Him Since He Weant to the Front During the War. WAS TOLD HE HAD FALLEN. Receives a Letter From the Veteran After a Thirty.three Years’ Separation. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 14.—A strange life’s romance is that of M: da B. Gilles- pie of Shasta, Cal., now visiting a daugh- ter, Mrs. Sarah C. Cooper, on Hood street, Mrs. Gillespie arrived here about three days ago, en route to Denver, Colo., to meet her husband, whom she has not seen in thirty-three years, and whom her daughter here never saw, although he is her father. in 1861 the woman married Simon Gillespie in Galena, Ill. In 1862, the year their daughter was born, Gillespie went into the army. The following year Mrs. Gillespie was advised from the front that Gillespie had been killed in action. Soon thereafter she and ber people leit Gelena, and her frienas there lost track of her. “Ten days ago,” said Mrs. Gillespie, *‘I received a letter from the dead, and it shocked me so that I fell and went from one swoon into another for thirty-six hours, and my doctor feared that I woula die in one of them. The letter was from my dear husband, whom I for so many Yyears mourned as being among the dead. “He wrote me that he had no chance of returning hcme till the fail of 1864. By that time no one in Galena could give him the slightest clew to my place of abode. They knew that we had moved to Omaha, and later to Milwaukee, and for several months he advertised for me and my fam- ily in the papers in'these cities. Then he traveled, off and on, for two yearsin search of us, and at last gave me and his child up as forever lost. *‘Nearly a month ago Mr. Gillespie met in Denver a Mr. Robert Whitehill of Shasta County, who knows me quite well. As I never remarried, Mr. Whitehill spoke . Gillespie of knowing a woman by name in California and related my to him. Judging from what Mr. e wrote me, he must have experi- en ilar sensations to mine when he learned that I was yet among the living. He has been a resident of Colorado for twenty years, and he, also, never re- married. I can scarcely bide the time till Isee him again. I am now 57 years of age, but the happy event makes me feel asif I wereagaina girl. T merely came up here so my daughter could accompany me to her father.” Both ladies leave to-night for a scene where there will be a delightfully happy reunion of loving hearts. S 3 2 MAY ACCEPT. STANFORD A Universalist Chair Likely to Be Estab- lished at the University. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CaL., Jan. 14.—A dispatch appeared this morning in San Fra co papers stating that the Boston Universalist Club had appointed a committee to raise $40,000, with which a chair in Universalist theology was to be | established in this institution. Inqujry at Dr. Jordan's office developed that at the veginning of the university’s career Dr. Jordan received offers to establish chairs here from several theological organiza- tions. To all these offers Dr. Jordan made the same reply—that if sufficient funds were raised and Stanford could select the occupant of the chair the offer would be accepted. When_ Professor Throop of Pasadena died he left $20,000 for the establishment of a Uriversalist chair here. Dr. Jordan recommended that the fund be used at Throop University, Pasadena. For some time nothing more was heard of the mat- ter, and then Dr. Jordan learned that ef- forts were being made to bring the sum up to the required amount for the estab- lishing of such a chair at Stanfora. Un- doubtedly if the sum is raised and other conditions agreed to Dr. Jordan will not object to having the chair placed here, —_———— SYCAMORE CREEK KILLING. 4An Indian Surrenders for the Shooting of a Tribesman. FRESNO, Car., Jan. 14.—A redskin call- ing himself Indian George came down irom the mountains yesterday and gave himself up for killing Indian John a few days ago. The shooting oc- curred on Sycamore Creek. beyond Bur- rough Valley, about forty-five miles north- east of this city. George is unable to speak the English language, but through a white man who came down from the mountains with him the particulars were learned. It appears that Indians George and John, the former’s father and several other red men were having a good time by the 2id of firewater which they had in some unknown manner obtained. Of course the powwow ended in a fight in which ali gnrlicivate& Three Indians, among them obn, set upon George and used him rather roughly. George's father interfered and dragged his son’s assailants off. The three men then attacked the old man and held him down, while John choked him with a handkerchief twisted around his neck. George in turn interfered in bebalf of his father, but the odds against him were 100 great and he secured a_rifle. He fired one shot which pierced John’s heart. ———— SAN BERNARDINO JUSTICE. Jurors Find Forger Hadley Guilty, but Recommena Mercy. SAN BERNARDINO, CaL., Jan.14—The juryin the case of Forger W. 8. Hadley, after being out forty-six hours, came into court with a verdict of guilty, and recommended the extreme mercy of the court. The defendant took the verdict very easily, and smiled at those near him. The court set Friday for the time of sentence, when Hadley’s face assumed a serious ex- pr_e‘;uion and turning to his attorney he said: “‘Tell the court to make it Thursday or Saturday, as I do not want to be sen- tenced on Friday.” The court accordingly set the time for Saturday. Hadley’s good bearing got him the recomwenaation for mercy. LR Ukiah Water Piant Sold. UKIAH, CAL., Jan. 14.—The plant of the TUkish Water Company, of which J. A. Cooper and A. F. Redemyer were proprie- teral has been sold to the Ukiah Water - and Improvement Company of Santa Rosa. The purchase price was $3000. The plant is practically of little value, as the entire businessisin the hands of a new company, which entered the field about two years ago, and has now succeeded in forcing out its rival. The old com- pany procures its water from Gibson Ureek, a mountain stream which enters Ukiah on the west, while the new com- pany has wells close to the banks of Rus- sian River, and from there pumps water to a reservoir west of town, from which latter place it is distributed to consumers, INVENTION OF A SEATTLE MAW. | Method by Which Nitroglycerine May Be Used as an Explosive for Cannon and Small Arms.

His sub- ject will be “The Donner Party” and the | fact that he was a member of that unfor- tunate party gives him every opportunity to vividly portray their sufferings, The majority of the excursionists who came last week to view the carnival have returned to their homes, although several of Sunday’s visitors remained over to take in other points of interest in the vicinity. A meeting of carnival directors was hel to-day to consider the advisability of plac- ing an elevator in the tower to the tobog- gan slide. After a hcated discussion it was decided not to adopt it, as it would entail too much expernse and would not be of material benefit. John McDonald, the ice magnate of Boca, was present and offered to place a wall of dressed lumber around the in- terior of the skating-rink and have it painted, at his own_expense, 1f granted certain privileges, Upon motion of one of the directors the offer was accepted, and work is to be commenced shortly Secretary Burckhalter to-day received a large number of aluminum and bronze souvenirs of the carnival. On one side is an_exact representation of the toboggan- slide, and on the other the ice palace. They are round in shape and about the size of a half dollar. The management is taking advantage of all opportunities, and is making valuable improvements to the palace. Arches are being placed over the windows and doors, and huge vine trees are being appropri- ately arranged. Krom Director-General McGlashan it was learned that 1357 people have visited his tower within the past three weeks. LS LR BAK ERSFIELD BURGLARS. Unsuccessful Attempt to Crack a Safe in @ News Storve. BAKERSFIELD, CaL., Jan. 14.—Burg- lars made en unsuccessful attack upon the safe in the McDovald newsstore at an early hour this morning. In the same room is the Western Union office, and the operator is on duty until midnight. The burglars must have watched his departure and at once entered the place and began operations upon the safe. Four holes were drilled into the door, three entirely through and one only part way. This took a long time, and about 4 o'clock the burglars were frightened away by the coming of a Chinaman to clean out asaloon next door. Detective Brighton, who captured Bandit Evans, happened to be here, and he 1s following up a clew which will probably lead to the arrest of the burglars.

Futile Mission of the Tyee to Bring off the Stranded. Vessel. DEFERSE OF THE CAPTAIN. jMate Legalle Denies the Charge That His Superior Officer Was | Druak. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Jan. 14— | Captain Gove of the tug Tyee, which, with the tugs Holyoke and Pioneer, was | sent from here yesterday to rescue the re- | mainder of the crew of tha bark Janet | Cowan, telegraphed to-day that the vessel | was & total wreck and there was nothing | to save from her. The men had reached | Carmanah Point and been taken to Vic- | toria before the tugs arrived. | Mate Charles Legalle of the wrecked | bark Janet Cowan consented this after- noon to make 2 full statement regarding the wreck, the character and behavior of | the captain and the handling of the vessel, and he dictated the following while lying | on his cot at the Marine Hospital: | “Inthe first place, I want to deny em- | phatically that there was any bad feeling | the voyage, or that the captain refused to ask or accept my advice at any time. Of course there were little disagreements be- tween us at times, just as there alwavs are between captain and mate, but Captain Thompson was one of the most forgiving men I ever knew, and after having a tiff with one of the officers or men during the 1t was all over by the ume he sat down to table. He was gruff, but that never caused any trouble between us. | “Captain Thompson was not a temper- ate man, and on the voyage I saw him the worse for liquor a couple of times, bui | duri | did not | because there was noneon board. Besides | that, Captain Thompson did not seem to the last six weeks of the voyage he | ave a drop of liquor of any kind, care for it when he knew there was none | to be & and at the time of the accident he w ectly sober, T am sure. | “Itiswell enough to talk of keeping off | the Vancouver shore, but that was impos- sible with the gale we had. It is true we were closer inshore than we knew, be- | cause we lost more ground than we | thougt in wearing ship. It is useless to talk about following a schooner in, be- cause a schooner could be closehauled and tand right up against the wind, but that mpossible with & big ship that is light. In wearing out past Cape Flattery the last ime we were within four miles of the light, but in getting back we iost so much ground that we were close in and did not know it because it was too thick to get our bearings. The wind was not to be de- | pended on, for it changed as much as | fourteen points during the night. “At midnight Captain Thompson and I discussed the advisability of wearing ship, | but he thought it best to wait a little i longer. Shortly after that we went below together and were consulting charts when the shout ‘and anead!’ was given by | Second Mate Howell, and all hands were | ordered on deck immediately and ordered to ‘wear ship.” This was at 1 o’clock, and | | although every effort was made to bring | | her around, it could not be done in time, | | and a haif hour later she was on the rocks. | “The only complaint I have to make 1s | | that the ship was not properly manned. | She had in 100 tons more ballast than on | her previous voyage from Cape Town to Sydney, but she did not have men enough. Something of the violence of the gale can be told when the staysail was torn into | shreds while being hauled down before we | went on to the rocks, and yet the wind shifted and was blowing off shore within ten minutes after we struck. There was good reason for hurrying off the vessel, because from the way she was pounding | on the rocks we thought she would surely | g0 to pieces within twenty-four hours, “I want to say that I consider it a dis- | grace for any civilized nation to leave such a shore unprovided with signal stations of some kind. There should be two stations on that coast, so that vessels could take their bearings and know where they are; then there would be no more accidents of this kind. Even if the Government had sent out some patrol vessel along that | shore after the big storm we would all have | been rescued, as on the second day the | weather was fine, and boats could have i come right in after us, I will say that the Cowan had a full complement of men, as required by the Board of Trade of Londen, and even three extra; but those matters are easily arranged, and do not indicate | that the vessel is properly manned.” Legalle read the foregoing and said it ‘was correct in every particular, and would be his testimony before the British Vice- Consul when called upen. | | | i 1 SMUGGLERS OF OPIUM. Hawaiian Authorities Tricked by a Puget Sound Ring. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Jan, 14.— The seizure of the smuggling schooner | Henrietta by the Hawaiian authorities, with opium aboard, has been the cause of all sorts of smuggling stories, One story that the case recalled was the seizure sev- eral months ago at Hawaii of some 2200 pounds of opium. This was owned by Port Townsend people, and the same ring is still carrying on business. The drug 1s smuggled across from Victoria with little difficulty and placed aboard the lumber | schooners that sail from the Sound. The Hawaiian officials are not expecting it through this channel, and consequently it is disposed of with little difficulty at the handsome price of §27 per pound. RS TULARE’S BIG DITCH. The Kaweah Company's Waterway Is Neaving Completion. VISALIA, CaL., Jan. 14.—The Kaweah Irrigation and Power Company is busily engaged in prosecuting a work that will do much to transiorm the whole eastern part of the county contigunous to Visalia. The company bas forty men at work now, and the upper ditch is completed for a distance of 15,000 feet. The completed part includes the flumes and all the more difiicult sec- tions except the tunnel, and nearly all of this has been done in the last two months. Including the lower ditoh, which will be a continuation of the Pogue ditch and will skirt the foothills to a point opposite Eixeter, it will require three or four months to complete the work. The company has so far used five tons of dynamite in blasting rock. It found more hard rock than was expected, and has-been compelled to use only the best imported Firth steel. The work on the upper diteh is well done. It will carry water enough to make a discharge of 200 cubic feet per second. The lower end will be 152 feet above the bed of Kaweah River. Men are at work yet on the flume across Horse Creek. The lower ditch will have to be ce- mented. It will be flumed across the Yokohl River, where it debouches onto the plain. The ditch will be extended to Lindsay as soon as the demand will jus- tify this extension. i G o THE DALLES’ SAD CASE. Miss Annie Brown Crazed by Brooding Over a Lecture on Heredity. THE DALLES, Or., Jan. 14.—A sad afiliction has overtaken Miss Annie Brown, daughter of A. A. Brown. For some time the young lady has been in failing health, and Saturday morning she showed unmis- takable signs of insanity. An examina- tion was conducted by Dr. Doane and Judge Blakeley and the unfortunate girl was committed to an asylum. The trouble has been long in coming, as for many weeks she has been brooding over the suicide of an uncie. A _Professor Riddell delivered a lecture on ‘‘Heredity” at The Dalles recently, and Miss Brown attended. She took a deep interest in the lecture, because of the fact that three of her uncles were insane, Since that time her condi- tion became worse until Saturday morn- ing, when a violent outbreak occurred. Bhe is in fear that she may kill herself. S ey EL DORADO MINE BALES. Heavy knvestment Believed to Have Been Made by Mackay and Flood. PLACERVILLE, CAL., Jan. 14.—Several propositions for undeveloped mining prop- erties and negotiations for two well ad- vanced in development, all in El Dorado County, and involving several hundred thousand dollars, are approaching comple- tion. The recent transfer by F. C. Irwin to A. E. Head of eleven properties in the north portion of the county is a matter of public record. A rumor, seemingly well founded, that John W. Mackay and James Flood are associated in the enterprise is current on the streets. The fact that Mr. Mackay and Mr. Head made a personal inspection of the premises last autumn adds strength to the rumor. *Development work is in active progress on Mr. Head’s properties.

The jury gave a verdict for $26,000, the | largest ever given in that part of the coun- try, but Judge Arthur cut the amount down $11,000. The amount for which judgment was given has been drawing interest at the | rate of $103 per month for several months, so the sum for which judgment was given by the Supreme Court amounts to | about $16,500. Boyle isand has been a pauper in the Spangle poorhiouse the past two years. e TWO RIVERSIDE WRECKS. Train Employes Injured in Railroad Disasters.

Dealers Charged With Violating the County Ordinance. MANY WITNESSES TESTIFY. Minors Swear That They Purchased | Drinks of the Accused Men. SAN RAFAEL, Car., Jan. 14.—Intense interest has been created by the trial of Marin County liquor cases before the Board of Supervisors sitting as a court. This afternoon two cases were submitted to the Supervisors for decision and a third one commenced, but continued until to- morrow on account of the non-appearance of one of the county’s most important wit- nesses. These cases are the outcomeof the re- vort recently rendered by the Grand Jury, which stated that liquor was being openly sold to minors, and that the saloons were being kept open. after.11 o'clock at night, which is forbidden by the licenses. The cases were brought in the name of the peo- ple upon the information of Henry Harri- son, Tax Collector of Marin County, who chareed the defendats with selling liquor after 11 p. . and also selling to minors. When the Board of Supervisors went into session to-day the members consti- tuted themselves a court to hear the cases. The first called was the people against | Peter Crane. After District Attorney | Martinelli had read the information Hep- burn Wilkins made an eloquent plea to haye the matter dismissed, claiming that the case was not in the jurisdiction of the Supervisors. Mr. Wilkins was overruled. Lewis Snith, a young man attired in a black sweater, testified that he was a butcher in San Rafael, had lived there about eight years and ought to know the town. He had never seen Crane sell liguor to minors. Elisha DuBois stated that he haa been in Crane’s saloon after 11 o’clock, but the frent doors were always locked. He had seen games played for money. He had never been able to get in after 11 o’clock at night. Ernest DuBois had been in after 11 o'clock and had been served by Crane. ‘Walter Roberts, a boy of 16 years, testi- fied that he had bought a flask of whisky from Crane and paid for it. A few hours | later he went back to get more and Crane refused to give it to him. He told a straight story, and all efforts to break him | down proved unavailing. | Peter Crane, the defendant, then went upon the stand. He said that the boy had | told him that his mother wanted the | whisky and he gave itto him. In a shori | time the lad came back for more, saying a man at the corner wanted it. Crane re- fused to sell him any more and ordered | him from the saloon. Crane said he never sold drinks to minors, and always kept an | orderly place. The case was then submitted without argument, ana the Board of Supervisors took it under advisement. The next case, that against Peter Klumpf, was not completed, as one of the witnesses failed to show up. Robert | Curry, a lad of 15, testified that he got two | beers at Kiumpf’s saloon. A bench war- rant was issued for Matt Maguire, who failed to appear, and the case will be finished to-morrow morning. The case against A. Capperman was sub- mitted, and the Supervisors have promised | to give a decision in the morning. The interest in the trial continued = un- abated all afternoon, and the people look forward to the decision with eagerness. R S SEARCH FOR AN INCENDIARY. James McCue Believes He Has Located the Man Who Fired His Barn. SAN RAFAEL, CAL., Jan 14.—James McCue, the Larkspur farmer and horse- man, says he is on the trail of the man | who . fired his barn some time ago. ’Ibe} man was formerly employed by McCue as | a farmband, but he loved liquor too devot- edly, and once McCue refused to pay him for the time he was ou a debauch. In revenge the fellow set fire to the barn. | Seven valuable horses were destroyed and | in the ruins were found the charred | remains of a human being. Since the barn | was burnec down McCae has been persist- | ent in his search for the incendiary and | now hopes to have his hands upon him in | a few days. ADVOCATES OF PURE FOOD Opening of the Third Annual Convention of the National Dairy Union. Ex.Governor Hoard of Wisconsin Tells of the Necessity of Shutting Out Spurious Goods. | | i | | | CHICAGO, Irv., Jan. 14.—Representa- tives of the diury associations of nearly twenty States and delegates from the produce and mercantile Boards of Trade of the principal cities were present this evening at the opening session at the Sherman House of the third annnal con- vention of the National Dairy Union. This organization has for its main object the promotion of legislation to prevent the fraudulent sale of adulterated food pro- ducts, .both oleomargerine and filled cheese. In the absence from the city of Mayor Swift the delegates were welcomed by Health Commissioner Kerr, and a re- sponse was made by Hon. James Hewes of Baltimore. Ex-Governer Hoard of Wisconsin, president of the union, then delivered a brief address. The sentiment of the country, he said, was proncunced against the adulteration of foods. 1t might be laid down as a settled prin- ciple that the honest food of the country had a right to the market as against the counterfeit, in the interest of the people and aside from the fact that every pound of spurious goods sold deprived the farmer of that much market. It was a matter of congratulation that in no less than twenty- lwo.sllh! there was stringent legislation against the adulteration of food products, | separately to-day for United States Sena- | ate the vote stood: Foraker 29, Brice 6, ! in joint session and conclude the election | gers have conceded the fact, and one of { eral Assembly at noon began balloting for | She Preferred Non=existence to an | along time with malaria, became despond- while the movement was in process of concentration in several other common- wealths. In the South especially the ef- forts of the union were muking progress, ‘while since the new law in Missouri went into operation the trafiic in adulterated dairy products had decreased nine-tenths. The speaker went on to say that for vears he had labored to improve the stan- dard of Wisconsin cheese until it was quoted at the top notch in the foreign markets, and yet to-day *‘filled” cheese, mostly made in Illinois, was being ex- ported to such an extent that the protests were coming in from boards of trade, and importers in England and even the United States had been approached on the subject. This demonstrated the need of a National law by which the exportation of filled cheese might be prohibited, After the appointment of committees the convention adjourned until to-morrow morning, when ex-Congressman Hatch of Missouri and Dairy Commissioners Board- man of Towa and Adams of Wisconsin and Congressman Wilbur of New York will speak on State and National legislation.
