Mrs. Woodward Says She Never Tried to Burn Them Ofr, The divorce suit of Melinda Woodward against Frank G. Woodward was before Judge Seawell yesterday. Mrs. Woodward is suing for a divorce on the ground of cruelty. She alleges that her husband used vulgar langnage to her and struck her. At first Mr. Woodward had a com- plamnt on file, in which he also charged cruelty, the principal feature of which was that his wife tried to burn off his whis- kers. Mrs. Woodward was questioned on this point yesterday, but she denied ever attempting to apply thetorch to the luxu- riant growth upon her husband’s chin, The cross-complaint of Mr. Woodward has been witharawn. Mrs. Woodward also asks that some sep- [ of the head of the devartment. It | The Steamer Willamette Coming to an Anchor After Being Steered With Booms From Mendocino to San Francisco.

Nugent of St. Rose’s Church on the Stand. HOW THE PROPERTY WAS GIVEN The Question of Undue Influence—Miss Margaret Nugent Will Testify To-Day. In the Ellen Gallagher will case yester- day in Judge Hunt’s court Father Denis F. Nugent, pastor of St. Rose’s Church, was put on the stand to testify as to Mrs. Gallagher’s gift of $140,000 worth of prop- erty to the Catholic church., Just before her death in April, 1895, she gave him a deed of transfer of all her property except some small bequests to relatives, and the present suit is brought by those legatees to recover the money on the ground that she | had been unduly influenced in making the gift. According to her alleged wishes the new St. Rose’s Churcn on Brannan street, near Fourth, was to be built from the pro- ceeds of the transierred property. In the morning Peter Collins testified to the effect that Father Nugent had inti- mated ‘during a conversation that he (Nugent) bad influenced Mrs. Gallagherir: the disposition of her property. Father Nugent testitied that Mrs. Galla- gher had presented him with all the prop- erty and that she was in periectly sound mind and made the gift of her own free will. She wished to build a new cuurch, as the people of St. Rose’s parish were too poor to do so. He simply carried out her behest. H was asked by Attorney Joseph | Campbell if he had said that he had so | fortified himself behind the law that his pusition in the transaction could not be shaken. The witness answered that Calvin Ewing | bad come to him in a bland manner to talk of the Gallagher affair, and that he told Swing that what Mrs. Gallagher had done perfectly legal in every way and he did not see how the law could interfere. Mr. Henley objected to the phrase | “‘bland manner” uzed in the description of Mr. Ewing’s approach, and that was ordered expunged from the records. Wit- ness also stated that he was not Mrs. Gal- lagher’s spiritual adviser after the division of the parish in 1886. Father Nugent objected to Mr. Henley calling the bequesta ‘‘donation.” It was not a donation, he argued. *Did you not_suggest this gift for the Archbishop to Mrs. Gallagher?"’ asked Mr. Henley. *I aid not.”’ “Yet the document was in your hand- writing 277 “1t was.”” Henley then asked for the receipts which Father Nugent got from Mrs. Gallagher, and asked: ““Was any one present when these re- ceipts were signed 2"’ *Na one.” ‘““Should there not have been witnesses present when this woman gave away over $100,000 to you?” This question was not allowed, and Mr. | GLOAKS AND SUITS !

The St. Paul's parish branch of the League of the Cross held a rally last even- in St. Paul’s Church, corner of Twenty-ninth and Church streets. There was a very large attendance, including junior and’ senior divisions of the league, and parishioners, men and women, so | that the large hall was crowded. The stage was decorated with American flags, and amid this patriotic ornamentation were | seated members of the cadet corps and the senior division. Peter McCormick of the executive com- mittee of the league called the meeting to | order, and in a brief speech spoke about the temperance society and its work. The opening address was followed by a piano duet by the Misses Kornmeyer, after which the main feature of the evening occupied the attention of the meeting. This was a lecture by Dr. Clinton on the effects of alcoliol on the human system. The doctor admitted that alcoholic stimu- lants were used liberally in such diseases as aiphtheria, pneumonia and typhoid fever to sustain the patient temporarily. However, if the patient should be a person accustomed to excessive indulgence in liquor the chances were that he would have but faint hope for recovery, since stimulants would have absolutely no effect upon his system. The effect of alcohol on the soft tissues is shrinkage. Whisky on an empty stomach absorbs, and leaves the mucous membrane in a dry condition, thus dis- turbing its natural condition, and indiges- tion ensues. The whisky draws from the lining of the stomach those juices needed for digestion of food. One drink on an empty stomach is worse that three or four on a full one. The effect on the vital organs is to stimulate their functions, and this condition 1s followed by depression, 80 the excessive use of alcoholisin isan | unmitigated evil. Those who derive benefit from diluted alcohol teken with food are largely in the | minority. Fully 50 per cent of all cases of dyspepsia and indigestion are caused by immoderate use of alcohol. On the liver alcohol has the effect of an irritant poison. The tissue is excited inordinately, secre- tion diminishes, and the flow of blood i lessened. Fully 90 per cent of diseases are caused by excessive indulg- ence in alcohol. The kidneys are simi- larly affected. The great majority of cases of heart failure come from the same excesses. The lungs are not so though they are by no means exempt. The brain is affected more directly than the spinal chord, though prolonged in- dulgence deranges the whole nervous sys- tem, with the grand finale of delirium tremens. The doctor stated that the effects of alcohol in heredity go to the third genera- tion. No more baneful disease than alco- hoi is banded down to generations, Itisa well-settled fact that drunkenness is trans- mitted from parent tochild. Thechildren of drunkards are more liable to diseasés of the nervous system than are the chil- dren of insane parents. No mother has any more moral right to take a glass of beer while nursing her child than she has to take a glass of poison. Dr. Clinton showed how whisky, brandy and gin are made with chemieals, and declared that much of the same imi- tations as he mixed up on the stage are used in commerce.

There the lighthouse | tender Madrona was sighted and Captain | Cushman signaled for ussistance. The people on the tender did not understand the signals, and she went on her way. Nearing the Golden Gatesome tugs offered their assistance, but Captain Cushman did not feel like paying the sum demanded, so he managed to steam in and came toan | anchor off the seawall. he cargo brought by the Willamette from Portland is a_general one, and every | vessel that has handled it has met with | misfortune. It was first of all loaded on | | the steamer George W.

The wheat, oats and_canned goods were then loaded into the Willamette and she met the same fate as the other two. “The atisfaction I have is the fact that I succeeded in getting the cargo bere,’” said Captain Cushman yesterday. ‘“We came | ‘ along at a good rate of speed, and the only | thing I was afraid of was that the ruader would drop out altogether, as it was only held in place by the rudder-head. The a¢- cident happened last Saturday, and I tell you I was glad when I dropped anchor in San Francisco Bay.” The Willamette will discharge her cargo and then go on the drydock for repairs. It will cost in the neighborhood of $5000 to fix her up. ated quite a scene at the ferries yesterday. | The woman ran away from her home in Healdsburg and took her two-year-old | daugzhter Bessie with her. Her husband followed as soon as he heard of her flight, | and finally located her in the Mission, Yesterday he stole the child and started | for the ferries, with Mrs. Lahue after him. In the waiting-room of the Tiburon steamer she caught him, and begged and prayed for the child. He refused her request, and then she began to scream. The other pas- | sengers sided with the woman, and Ser- | geant Mahoney was hurried to the scene to | quell the disturbance. The husband ex- | Emned that the child was his, and that as e did not like his wife’s mode of life ne | was taking the little girl home. T'he offi- | cer said he could not interfere, and just as | the “all aboard” was called the iather | rushed through the gate and disappeared. | Mrs. Lahue called after him, but he paid no attention. Then she began crying again, and finally disappeared in a Mar- ket-street car. Captain Hooper of the revenue cutter Corwin has been made commander-in- chief of the revenue fleet of the Pacific Coast. He will have with him in the Ber- ing Sea the Bear, Rush, Perry, Corwin, Grant and Wolcott. Meat TInspectors W. Jordan and J. L. Rivers have been scouring the water front of late for any diseased and immature meat that might come in by train and steamer. Yesterday they secured eight calves and an old” bull that were thor- | oughly unfit for food. The bull was con- signed to Adolp Caillenad of the Califor- nia Market, and the two inspectors waited | ail day for him to send his wagon for it. | He did not do so, and finally coal oil was poured over the rotten mass and it was carted away. No owner for the veal turned up either, and it also was destroyed. Five men of the crew of the revenue cut- ter Bear, whose time expired yesterday, have practically been driven from the serv- ice. Lieutenant Emery, who issued the discharges, would give them no recom- mendation, and that debars them from | further service. They were all witnesses | for Captain Healy, and say they are being persecuted. The matter 1s to be laid be- fore the authorities at Washington. PERALTA-REAVIS CASE. Evidence Against Valencia and San- doval to Be Taken Here. Andres Sandoval and Jose Ramon Valencia, charged with conspiracy in con- nection with the Peralta-Reavis lana swindle in New Mexico, were before United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday for preliminary examination. The District Attorney maintained that under the indictment of the court of New Mexico the defendants must be taken back, that they could offer no evidence | to attack the indictment and prove their | Rabbi Voorsanger Addressed the The cargo was | Edward Lahue and his wife, Fannie, cre- | nity property. She claims as hers a lot on Turk street, between Taylor ana Jones, valued at $24,000, a cottage and lot on Webster street, between Clay and Wash- ington, valued at §3000, and property in San Diego valued at $1000.

(\Presbyterian Ministers Discussed “A Modern Philosopher Worth Hearing.” Rabbi Voorsanger addressed the Baptist Preachers’ Conference vesterday on the subject of “The Modern Jew.” Inci- | dentally he referred to the historical inci- dents for the past 1800 years which have been instrumental in shaping the charac- ter of the modern Jew. “It is one of my matters for thankfulness to-day that I belong to a religion that has no theology,” hesaid. “There never was in Israel an authority that cou!d say to the people you must do so and so or you do not belong to the church. They never had a church, as Christians understand it. I must believe in God and in revelation, but in common with every other Jew, I possess the right of unrestricted interpre- | tation.”” The speaker described the arti- | cles of Maimonides and explained how a | later writer had afterward reduced them to three—a belief in God, a moral account- ability to God and a belief in revelution. Reformed Judaism, Rabbi Voorsanger said, began about 100 years ago as a purely | natural change. It sprang out of an effort | made to place the Jews en rapport with the people in the midst of whom they lived. The address ended with the expres- sion of the hope that “the day will -come when there will bé no Jew, no Gentile, nothing but God to unite the nations of the earth.” Presbyterian Preachers. The Presbyterian Ministerial Associ- ation was addressed yesterday by Rev. T. | ¥. Burnham of Vallejo on the subject of ““A Modern Philosopher Worth Hearing.” Professor B. P. Browne of Boston was the philosopher to whom the allusion was made. The speaker gave a sketch of the distinguished teacher and author, and re- ferrea briefl{ to his writings, giving a synopsis of his views as outlined in his later volumes. One fact stated respecting Browne's teachings was that he upholds the enfranchisement of women on the ground that in order to withhold the bal- lot from them it is necessary to prove them to be immoral persons or else men- tulrly weak. : The discussion was participated in Rev. Mr. Bevier, Rev. Prx"ufess:r Brown ‘3 Stanford, Rev. Dr. Minton and Rev. Dr. Noble and other ministers, all of whom in- dorsed the paper. Rev. Dr. Breck, in the course of the discussion, took occasion in- “Did you ever remind Mrs. Gallagher that ber brother, a man of 90 years, was in a poorhouse in Treland ?"” The question was permitted, notwith- anding Campbell’s strong objection. I did not remind her of that.” “Why not 2" “Because she frequently told me that she intended to remember her relatives in accordance with the expressed desires of her husband.” “Don’t you remember telling Peter Collins that if it had not been for you he would not have got as much money in | the will as he did 2"’ “I do not remember it.” “Do you deny thav you said it?'’ “I don’t remember.” “Don’t you remember in that same con- versation teiling bim he would not have | got what he did except it was to evade the law 2" I do not remember that either.” © “Do you deny you said it?" ““I do not remember it.”’ The court—You do not den; admit it? i ‘I do not remember it.

That he got this $2500 in the will to evade the law.” “I do not remember making any such assertion as that. On reflection, I think there was some talk about that, and [ am under the impression I may have said that; that she gave him $2500 that it might appear decent, and that her will might not be contested. I think there was some conversation to that effect that I remember now.” “Did you say in that conversation, or in any conversation, to Mr. Collins, that you had anything to do with the giving of $2500, or withholding it?"” #No, sir; I had nothing to do with the will at all, and I never told him so.” Mr. Henley desired to put Miss Marga- ret Nugepnt, sister of Father Nugent, on the stand, but it was stated that she was a sufferer from heart disease and could not bear the ordeal of cross-examination.

The speaker gave a hopeful account.of Methodist missions all over the world, and showed that in Sweden the Methodists are exercising a reviving influence. In the discussion Rev. J. Waklburgh bore witness to the good results which fie considered Methodism had achieved in Sweden. Rev. C. J. Larsen also spoke to the same effes ————— Very Awkward Indeod.
