The fight, which was under the auspices of the Paper City Athletic Club, called for ten rounds, but Burley had his man out in one and a half rounds. Buriey played horse with McGlory, out- classing him in weight and reach. He knocked him down in the first round and the men were sent to their corners before time was called.

THE SCAFFOLD FRAMED. The Doomed Boy Loses Much of His Bravado as the Ciisis Approaches. HE HAS PUT AWAY HIS VIOLIN. A Prolonged Fit of Weeping Which Created an Uproar in the Jail Last Night. ALBANY, Or., Jan. 20.—A message from Lloyd Montgomery’s attorneys says that they have met with no success in obtain- ing a stay of execution or executive inter- ference, and the murderer will' undoubt- edly be hanged Friday. Preparations for Montgomery’s execution are not being de- layed by the efforts of his attorneys to secure a stay. The scaffold is all framed. It is not believed here that a stay of ex- | ecution will be granted by the Supreme Court. Deputy District Attorney N. B. Hum- phrey said he did not think an order of | that kind could be expected from the Su- preme Court in view of the fact that the case had not yet been appealed to a higher court. Montgomery has lost much of his bra- vado. The lively strains of his violin are not heard so often in his cell, and ke has frequent fits of weeping. To-night he cre- ated quite an uproar in jail. He had a prolonged and violent fit of weeping, and declared he did not believe he could live until Friday. He said he could see his fatner and mother, and they were pleading with the officers not to hane him. After quieting | down, he asked the Sheriff to send for his little brothers and sisters, as he wished to see them once again. Sheriff McFerron | has notified them of his request. Two men are constantly with the condemned murderer to prevent any attempt at sui- cide. CONSUL TYSON ACQUITTED | The Charge of Embezzling $63 From Madame Loyez Not Sustained. The Painting Raffled Off in a Saloon and Some of the Tickets Still Unpaid For. PORTLAND, Or., Jan. 29.—Monsieur H. F. Tyson, the French Consul, had a | vreliminary examination this afternoon on the charge of embezzling $63 from Madame Marie Louise Loyez of San Fran- cisco and was discharged. Monsieur Loyez was the only person Monsieur Tyson of which the alleged embezzlement arose, and it was for his account he took upon himself the trouble to dispose of it by raffle. The painting was raffled off in Uncer's saloon and the bulk of the proceeds Mons. | Tyson turned over to him, partly to make him whole in_the event that he (Unger) should be called_upon to paya certain vond for Loyez.

Metropolitan Temple Crowded at the First General Gathering of the Reading Clubs. The first open session of the San Fran- cisco reading circles of the Catholic par- ishes was held last night in Metropolitan Temvple, and it was a full success. Every seat in the house was occupied, and even the aisles were filled toward the doors and along the walls. On the precedinz nights the Educational Union was entertained and instructed by speakers who lectured on questions of special interest at the vresent time—questions of a religious and political character; but last night's efforts were confined to members of the different reading circles—an open session, as it was called, at which some representative mem- bers of the union read clever essays and entertained the large audience with music and recitations. The papers read had a peculiar interest for women, the subjects being **‘Romance,” “Cleopatra,” “‘Heroines of America’’ and ‘“Poems of Father Ryan,” and every one of them evinced thought, much conscien- tious study, a wise conrse of reading and well-disciplined knowledge. It was evident, A‘,\dging from the ap- plause that greeted each essay, that the efforts of the young iadies were thoroughly appreciated and received at their true value. It was a Catholic ladies’ night—a brilliant one—for the ladies who partici- pated acquitted themselves creditably, The “‘open session,” a rather decidedly pleasant entertainment, opened with an instrumental duet by Misses M. Parker and A. Erwin, which was received with applause. Miss B. McDonald of Montgomery Cir- cle read an essay on ‘“‘Romance.”” This 3roved to be a thoughtful paper full of evi- ences of careful reading and conclusions —a literary criticism of considerabie merit, largely historical, yet withal a most en- tzm:inin%i and instructive paper. Miss McDonald added to the programme title of “Romance” “Its Rise and Character- istics.”” She held that romance was justly the delight of all people, since it carried men ‘“away from the everyday world, with its worries and cares, and carried us off to a world of imagination, where the heroes are all good and the heroines all beautiful. Virtue is aiways rewarded and wickedness puuished.” “Then when the story is well written,” she continued, “it is not only entertaining but highly instructiye. We gain an idea of the manners and customs of different Feople, a knowledge of human nature, and earn to look upon historical characters as real living persons, whom we love or dis- like according to their deserts—a result seldom attained, I am sure, by the mere study of facts and dates. g “Virtue is rewarded and wickedness punished. Is it not a satisfaction to find thisin a book? In this life it may not be soevident to us, although we are sure of it in the hereafter, and can the effect be otherwise than to incite us to fresh efforts to be good and true?’ s The essayist went into the history of romance, and dwelt upon its various characteristics, its rise under different in- fluences and its effect upon different peo- ples. Coming up to the present when it was opportune to discuss the novel of the day, she said: 3 “Of late we hear a great dead of realistic fiction in which real life is supposed to be depicted, but which seems to me merely to portray the bad and flippant part of our nature. Although it may not be strictly true to life, after reading a good romantic novel, we feel pleased with ourselves and With our fellow-creatures, but after read- ing the so-called realistic novel, we may think it is very clever, but it does not leave us quite easy and satisfied—it leaves a kind of bad taste. ‘‘As there is some romance in life, let us hope that, no matter how ordinary or com- monplace is the subject of his novel, the author will never do away with romance, the poetry of prose literature.” & Mrs. T. H. Griffin sang ““I Love Thee’’ in a sweet contralto voice, with such sweet- ness that the audience insisted on an encore, for which she gave *Good-by, Sweet Day.”” 2 Miss N. Sullivan of Thomas Aquinas Circle read an essay on *‘Cleopatra” This paper was mainly historical, though the subject was made really interesting, and showed that the essayist had given the subject much thought. It was full of facts, and portrayed Cleopatra in a truelight. In closing Miss Suliivan said: “Neither beauty nor power can conduce to real happiness; but after all virtue is the only true foundation upon which happiness rests.”” The paper was ap- plauded. Miss E. McDonald of the Cathedral Cir- cle recited William Greer Harrison’s poem, “The Celtic Priest.” The poem and the pretty way in which it was given were warnily applauded. 5 Miss Anna Doyle of Faber Circle read a poem by herself, “Onward,” which was well received. Miss Oatherine Black sang “Jerusalem,” and was loudly called out 2 second time, Miss Duraind of the Cathedral Circle read an inferesting paper on ‘‘Heroines of America,” Her firsi heroine was Poca- hontas—the beroine of fiction and song. The career and example of Elizabeth Ann Bayley were treated in glowing style. Miss ‘Bayley married William Seton and while in ilnly joined the Catholic church. | On her return she found old friends alien- | ated. She taught 'school and at last be- | came the founder of the Sisters of Charity in America. “The world knows no truer heroine than | these angels of mercy—children of Mother | Seton,” said the speaker. | . Dorothea Dix of Hampton, Me., born in 1802, was another heroine. She went | from State to State doing philanthropic | work, crossed the Atlantic, and in Europe changed the methods of treating the in- | sane. In the civil war she lived upon the | battlefield—a merciful visitor among the sick and suffering. Clara Barton, born in Oxford, Mass., in | ca’s noble women. She led in organizing | the Sanitary Commission, and went into | the battlefields to care for the wounded. She also organized the Bureau of Records and traced the fate of 30,000 fallen heroes. She helped to organize the German hos- pital service in the Franco-Prussian war, was a foremost figure in the organization of the Red Cross Society and its first presi- dent in America. “Margaret’” of New Orleans—Margaret Gaffney of Baltimore was a heroine, whose motto was “God has been so good to me I must be good toall.” She never asked about creed or color in giving charity or performing her good | services. | Membersof Taber Circle, all young girls, sang in chorus *‘Come, Join the Dance,”’ very prettily, and were called out a second | time when they gave “O Haste, Crimson | Morning.” The last paper, which concluded the | evening’s entertainment, was an essay on “Poems of Father Ryan,” by Robert | Richards of Archbishop Riordan Circle, | Father Byrne announced that the tickets of admission were exbausted and asked that those people nolding season tickets would either be presentat future meetings or loan the tickets to their friends. RED MEN AT THE BOARD, | Twenty-Eighth Anniversary Ban- | quet of Manzanita Tribe. Elaborate Menu, Followed by Toasts and a Fine Musical and Literary Programme. It would have been hard to find through- ouf the City a more jovial gathering of men than the participants in last night's banquet of Manzanita Tribe No. 4, Im- proved Order of Red Men. Thé occasion was the tribe’s twenty-eighth anniversary. The larger banquet-hail of the Red Men’s building on Post street was regally adorned for the event. The table, accom- modating over 300 guests, was arranged in the form of a hollow square. At the four corners were female figures in statuary bearing candelabra. Clusters of waxlights illuminated the other portions of the quadrilateral festive board. When champagne corks commenced to pop, Charles L. Patton, the toast-master, made a brief speech, after which e an- nounced the toasts, which were as follows: “Manzanita Tribe No. 4—The oldest of the tribes, but one of the most zealous in its devotion to the principles of the order,” | responded to by E. W. Thoman, sachem of the tribe. "« The Great Council of California,” A.

Between the toasts the Manzanita Trio, consisting of Messrs. Valerga, Isola and Parrish, rendered a number of choice vocal selections. Recitations were also given by | Edward M. Sweeney and Murdoch Camp- bell and vocal selections by Messrs, Finni- ;xn, Webber, Golde, Gosliner, Valerga and arrish. Too much credit cannot be given the anniversary committee, consisting of William J. 8mith, J. B. Griffith and Henry A. Chase, for their successful endeavors. Mr. Chase signalized the occasion by pre- senting the tribe with a collection of badges collected by him during the last sixteen years from various tribes which he has visited. The gilt, enclosed in a hand- some gilt frame, was hungin the wizgwam. Among those present at the banquet were: A. Jackson, great sachem; Charles F. Burg- man, G. C. of R.; William'J. Smith, G.

He Has Been in the Business in This City a Quarter of a Century. President Charles R. Story of the Home Mutual Insurance Company has resigned his position and will retire from the business. This is one of the most important changes that has recently occurred 1n the control of the local insurance affairs, and it was the topic of discussion among the brokers yesterday. Mr. Story has been concerned in insur- ance here for twenty-five years and three years ago he became president of the Home Mutual Company. This is one of the California companies issuing fire and marine policies and it was bought up by the Fireman’s Fund Com- pany, which now controls it. The stock, it is stated, is all owned by the Fireman's Fund Company excepting what the officers are required to own. Letters have been sent to all the agents of the company, notifying them of Mr. Story’s retirement. Mr. Story says that when he went into insurance herea quarter of a century ago the conditions were for a time much the same as they are now. He expects to see improvement come soon. ’ll‘)he reason for Mr. Story’s resignation 1s a desire to get away from active business cares. INSTALLED LAST WA Rev. E. H. Jinks Is Now Dr. Mackenzie's Assistant Minister. Rev. Donald Ross Was the Moderator, and Other Pastors Delivered the Charges. Rev. E. H. Jinks of Red Bluff was in- stalled by the Presbytery as co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church last night. The house of worship on Van Ness ave- nue was filled with members of the parish, and the installation followed a full service in which Dr. Mackenzie preached the ser- mon. Immnediately after the regular ser- vice J. Cumming Smith of Trinity Pres- byterian Church delivered an able charge to the new pastor, whose yood works and worthiness were the groundwork of his call to this City, and in a masterly way painted a word-picture of the work before him and the parish. Rev. R. Ferrand, pastor of the Howard Presbyterian Church, delivered a charge to the people and called upon them to use every power in assisting their new pastor to build up and foster the teachings of the church., It wasa righteous appeal -to the faithful members of the Christian people assembled there and was in every way strengthened with sincerity. > The Rev. Donald M. Ross acted as ‘modornor at the installation, as he has frequently done before on similar occa- sions, During the service and the installing ceremonies the reorganized choir—consist- ing of Mrs. Riggs soprano, Miss Daisy Cressy contraito, Dr. G. F. Graham tenor, and J. C. Hughes basso, under the direc- tion of Organist Otto Fleissner—sang in uartets, duets and solos, “Show Me Thy ays,” “In the Cross of Christ We Glory” and “The Lord Is My Shepherd, I Shall Not Want.” The regular service closed about 9 o’clock, and the attendants at the instal- lation repaired to the Sunday - school reom on the ground floor, where the ladies had set a most sumptuous lunch and ar- ranged for a musicai programme by the selected orchestra that has been formed from among the pupils of the Sunday- school. 5 A special table bad beer arranged in the center of the room for all of the Presbyte- rian ministers and their wives in this City, and the voung ladies made it very pleas- ant and agreeable for them by attending to the wants of the inner manand in every way adding to the general pleasure that was the order of the hour. The tables were decorated with all sorts | of colors and chandelier effects, while the whole was daintily set off by exotic plants and ferns so arranged as to give the whole ition. The festivities were kept up until about 11 o'clock, when the merry-makers departed for their homes, confident that their new pastor, who is to assist Dr. Mac- kenzie in guiding the destines of the First Presbyterian Church, would bea grand ad- dition to the strength of the church and a power to be considered in its future. The reverend gentleman succeeds Rev. W. C. Merrill, who is soon to depart for Boston with a record behind him o! any minister can be proud. 0DD FELLOWS AT PLAY.

Moran died intestate in 1877, and it was only last year that it was discovered he had a de- posit of $3400in_the Hibernia Bank. His stepbrother in Ireland heard of it and he wants possession of it, but the State came in first. The State claims the property should have been applied for within five years of the owner's death, but the counterclaim is made that the existence of the estate was not known until a year ago. and there are four years to run before the property can escheat.
