THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH 16, 1896 BHOWN'S JUDGES MEET TO-DAY, Little Probability of a Ver- dict Being Rendered Soon. NEW DIFFICULTIES RISE Miss Overman’s Flight to Ense- nada to Be Made the Sub- ject of Inquiry. LOOKS DARK FOR THE PASTOR. Some of the Members Think Mrs. Tun- nell Is None Other Than Jane Elizabeth Baddin. The ecclesiastical council convenes to- day at 2 o'clock to'again take up the bur- dens incident to the problems before them for decision. It is intended to continue in session un- til the weighty matters are disposed of, taking recess only for dinner and lunch. In view of complications which have arisen within the last forty-eight hours, it is now thought that at least two. and possibly three, days will be required to complete their deliberations. It is among the possibilities that a ver- dict will be rendered before the day is ended, but such an event is not looked for by Dr. Brown or his friends. There is a great deal of ground yetto cover, for while immaterial matters have been segregated and disposed of, the vital testimony has been touched on but lightly. There is only one point connected with the Stockton episode which has made any impression on the minds of the jurors. The_incident considered unfavorable to Dr. Brown is one of his own making. ‘When, after the accused pastor had such a pecnliar, and, according to his state- ment, shocking experience with the charm- | ing widow on the occasion of his first visit to her, he found it impossible to tell the story to his wife until nearly a month later. In the meantime, in fact, three or four days after the kissing affair, the widow called at the church study and made ample apologies for her unseemly conduct. “The council contends that then was the time Dr. Brown should have gone | to his wife and confessed that his lips had been touched by others than her own. | blackmailing, in which Mrs. Dayidson re- views her case in a somewhat defiant man- ner. The woman who received the letter Wwas quite intimate with Mrs. Davidson when the latter was a member of the Rev.- A. A. Williams’ congregation, and is one of the very few people who stood by Mrs. Davidson during here troubles here. When Mrs. Dayidson was arrested she began cor- responding with her, and this is the sec- ond letter received. In theletter she says: SAx FrANcISCO, March 8. My Dear Sister in Christ: Your dear letter Teached me yesterday. I was so glad to hear from you and your goodness I'll never forget. There are so ‘very few of my old friends who care to know me now that I can’t he? feeling Foofl 10 know tnat there is one friend of mine eft in Lynn. The rest forgot me when I was unfortunate here. I em feeling much better now than 1 was when I wrote you last. I cannot talk much about my case, because my lawyer says not to. but I can tell you that I'm going to be vic- torious, Dr. Brown is havingall he can handle before the church council, and he’s lucky if the council, in spite of his poweriul friends, don’t find him guilty. Another girl besides Miss Overman will be in it, I guess. ‘Anyway, he's convinced by this time that I told ‘him ‘the truth when I said the people would .believe him guilty. They do and will. whether the church clears him or not. So far as I'm concerned when the court takes up my case he'll be very sorry he was so smart. Not half has come outin ihe church fayorable to me that will come out in court. My lawyer says no jury in California will ever con- vict me. Cora’s husband (Edgerley) has been shown up again, this time for a new club he’s formed, and one of the papers here printed it under big headlines because he was my son-in-law. 1 felt bad at thet, because it may make people think my whole family are disreputable. But then He will look out for us all. _ 3 No; I shall not leave here. When this case is overI shall resume my ususl life and live down this scandal. I can do it, and I know when the people know the truth they will not blame me. They will be more Christian than Dr, Brown. Had I been less of & Chris. tian, and notdone by the doctor as I would have him do by me, I would have been all right, and never had this trouble. But, then, 1O CIOSS DO CroWR. She then goeson to speak of her friends, family and of the Rev. Mr. Williams and other Lynn acquaintances, and closes: So good-by, dear sister. I shall hope to hear from you soon again. Please send me what the Lynn and Boston papers say about me. Yours in Christ, MARY A. DAVIDSON. MAJR RIS GRITON, Discussion of the “Juggling Je- suit” at Metropolitan Tem- ple Yesterday. Jesuits Held Responsible for Armenian Massacre and the Venezielan Dispute. The Sunday afternoon meeting of the A. P. A. brought another large gathering of people to Metropolitan‘ Temple yester- | day. After the organ voluntary by Professor Werner the opening address was delivered by H. W. Quitzow. “America” was sung, prayer was offered by Kev. Dr..C. A. Rab- This incident is, of course, not of suffi- cient importance to come under the head | of unministerial conduct, but will be made | the stibject of & slight reprimand. The flight of Mattie Overman from this City last Thursdsy causes no end of un- favorable comment among the members of the council. The matter has not in any way been considered in the executive ses- sions, but will form an important part in to-day’s deliberations. A committee will be appointed to wait | on Dr. Brown with a view of hearing what that gentleman might have to offer in the | way of a plausible explanation. _Thecoun- cil now recalls with great vividness Miss | Overman’s oft-repeated statement that she | did ot know. the hiding place of Mrs. | Tungell. At the very- moment when the council would have liked to have had Miss Over- | r once more before them that young ly was traveling toward the Mexican border as fast_as steam_coyld carry her. | She was making directly for Ensenada, | Mexico, where Mrs. Tunnell has been for | nearly a month. The members of the | council will not be e for a moment any statement which Pastor Brown might make carrying with it the idea that Miss | Overman’s trip across the border is a sort of pleasure excursion, and that her subse- | quent meeting with Mrs. Tunnell was an | accident pure and simple. There are some who profess to believe | that Miss Overman’s trip was made in the | hope of securing an _affidavit from her | aged friend which would tend to strengthen | her story that Dr. Brown’s affection for her | was_of a purely platonic character. Itis | hardly possible to get such a paper back to San Francisco before the council reaches a | verdict, but Dr. Brown desires to present ! such a document to his congregation re- gardless of the findings of his twenty | udges. He is being propped up with the | elief that if an unfavorable verdict is | handed in, an affidavic of the character re- ferred to would more than offset it. If the pastor is let off with a mere reprimand, then a paper from Mrs. Tunnell would, he considers, remove all shadow of suspicion from his name. 2 The hasty departure of Miss Overmau | for Ensenada has had the effect of confirm- | ing a distinct suspicion in the minds of | several members of the council that Mrs. Tunnell is noneother than the elusive Jane Elizabeth Baddin. | To substantiate this theory the peculiar | manner in which Dr. Brown paid the $500 | hush money is referred to. Astothetime, | manner and place of paying the money both Mrs. Davidson and the accused man agree. That is, the receipt given by the atleged extortioner in the name of Mrs. Baddin was in Dr. Brown’s possession nearly eighteen hours before the money was actually paid. = With this document in his possession and with no knowledgze of such a persen as Jane Elizabeth Baddin, believing in Mrs. Davidson and conscious of his own nno- cence, the occasion for paying the $500 is not understood nor appreciated by at least five members of the council. This matter, therefore, will cut a big figure in the final deliberations of the council. There are three distinct counts against | Rey. Dr. Charles Oliver Brown, namely, in- timidation,non-ministerial conduct andim- moral conduct. A conviction on any one of these charges is sufficient to cause the accused man’s withdrawal from the pas- torate of the First Congregational Church. Tt is not within the province of the council, | however, to advise his church what action hall take in the premises. th’;‘{:e’ council was called for the single urpose of inquiring into the truth or| alsity of the charges. It is conceded that | if Pastor Brown is adjudged guilty of non- | ministerial condunct, unqualified in any | way, that it meaus his retirement from | the ministry so far as the Bay Conierence | is concerned. E In the face of such a conclusion the First Church would hardly dare retain Dr. Brown as their pastor, for if they did and Dr. Brown were expelled from the confer- ence the church wlquldof necessity be sub- ject to the same ruling. 5 2 It is not thought probable that the First Chureh would be willing to incur the dis- pleasure of the conference by retaining a minister not recognized by the associated churches. The condition of Dr. Brown was an- nounced last night as stightly improved. He is not yet sutticiently well to leave the house. L Professor Lloyd as usual presided at the First Congregational Cherch yesterday. ing, and then Baby Wearns, the pretty little girl of five or six years, sang two of | her songs, “The Little Red Schoolhouse,” | and some anti-Catholic sentiments set' to | the music of “Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the | Boys Are Marching.” She was vocifer- ously applanded. 'W. F. Barnes, the State secretary of the | order, sang “The Mustering Drum.”” Major F. C. Ryan was again the orator, | and he stated as he took the platform that it was probably his last Sunday here, though he is to lecture next Monday even- ing. Then he complimented the San Francisco newsp:sers for their fairness in publish- ing both sides of the religious controversy. He declared that the secular papers in all the other large cities of the country, enumerating them from Denver to Bostpn, will not give the A. P. A. a hearing. “The Juggling Jesuit, or the Experi- enced Powers of St. Peter’s Bark,” was the subject of Major Ryan’s address. The history of the Society of Jesuits was resented by Major Ryan. Then the Turkish persecution of the Armenians was taken up, and the orator inquired whether the Jesnits may not be the power that in- spires the murderous work of the Turks. **No word of protest has been heard from Rome,” he said. ““May it not be that be- hind all these butcheries stand the Jesuits | with their banners unfurled ?"* The denunciation of the Jesuits in France and other countries was reviewed. The rench Parliament declared the order to be perverse, seditious and contrary to the spirit of religion, though every member of that Parliament was a Roman Catholic. An analysis of the Jesuit constitution followed, Major Ryan quoting toshow that the novitiate of the order is required to re- gard his superior in the order as Jesus Christ. *Talk about the patriotism of O’Con- nell!” was the point made in another part of the address. *“When O’Connell left Ireland and was about to die, what did he do? He ordered that his heart should be cut out and sent to the Pope of Rome and that his heartless carcass should then be taken back and buried in old Ireland. ‘What kind of patriotism is that?” Major Ryan declared that the time had passed when a man must be a Catholic be- cause his father was one, when a man must be a Methodist because his father was one, when a man must be.a Repub- lican because his father was one, or whena man must be a Democrat because his father had first voted for Andrew Jack- son, “‘Retain your conscience, retain your will power, retain everything in your nature tnat goes to make of you an honest and independent man or woman."” The speaker declared that in spite of all that had been said, “‘there are Romanists who_stand up, before priest and bishop, for God and home and children, men who do not give up the freedom of their indi- viduality. These are the men who have their children in the public schools.”” The declaration that *‘there are few Web- sters in Congress to-day’’ was applauded, but there was no applause when the speaker declared that “few governors in the United States climb to their places honestly.” The audience became uproar- ious, though, at the suggestton of putting in a penitentiary cell every man who sells | bis vote,.and with him every man who buys a vote. Among other things chnrged against the Jesuits, following the record of numerous historical events, Major Ryan asserted that the order to divert attention from what it would wish to conceal is trying to throw this country into 8 war with Eng- land by means of a dispute that began be- fore this country was established. ‘Bu,” said the orator, “Jesuitism has not power enough to throw us into war with Eng- land,” and loud applause was given in re- sponse. *‘The religion of infidelity with intelli- gence is better than the religion of Jesuit- 1sm with ignorance,” was one of the con- cluding thoughts. The closing musical number was “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Next Sunday Reyv. Dr. Ray Palmer is to lecture in the temple at 3 o’clock on “Criti- cism of the A. P. A.” e — The Dog-Killers of Japan. Quite a new departure in insurance has been devised in Kioto.

THE BANNER OF ANARCHY Pietro Gori’s Followers Promise Fidelity to the Red Flag. IS A BADGE OF SUFFERING. Great Enthusiasm in Washington- Square Hall—Will Make the _ Propaganda. “Let others call anarchy folly and mad- ness. Heed them not but remember that in past ages the greatest scientists and dis- coverers were called crazy. We are few, but we can band together for the happi- ness of the world and the well-being of hu- manity.” 1t was with these words that Pietro Gori presented the red and black flag of an- archy to the members of the new Federation of Anarchists yesterday afternoon in Washington-square Hall. Vos Bataillons, Marchons” (To Arms, Cit- izens, Form -Your Battalions, March), and, with the **Marseillaise” ringing in their ears, the audience was about to dis- perse, when F. Bairbaris sprang forward and asked the members of -the federation to express their sense of gratitude forthe propaganda Pietro Gori bad made among them. The response to this was a storm of applause and “Evvivas!” In his address, which preceded the in- auguration of the banner Gori summed up all his argument used in previous lectures and aimed some special shotat some mem- bers of the Socialistic League who have ac- cused him of being a confusionist. “Your Order and Our Disorder” was the title of his discourse, and he labored to prove that Governments, by their examples of armed force, are responsible for all the sin, crime and misery in the world. e SOME LOCAL CARICATURES. Gori Puts Members of the Colony on the Stage. Pietro Gori exhibited himself in the di- verse characters of playwright, actor, cari- caturist and poet last night in Apollo Hall. His purpose drama, “Senza Patria” (without country) was a touching de- scription of the sorrows inflicted upon an old ex-Garibaldi soldier who has become imbued with the principles of anarchy and is banished, with his daughter, in his old THEIR SPRING FESTIVAL, Shooting Tournament of the Grutli Verein Marks- men. PHILO JACOBY A WINNER. The Popular Rifle Shot Leads in the California Schuetzen Club Con- test—Shell Mound Park. There was some lively shooting at Schuet- zen Park yesterday, although the disa- greeable weather interfered materially with the attendance. The main event of the day was the spring festival of the San Francisco Grutli Verein Shooting Section. The markswmen of this organization com- menced shooting at 9:30 A.M., and there was a goodly attendance of their friends present to witness their prowess. About $250 in cash prizes bad been hungnp, and this fact ‘proved an incentive to 2 pumber S W Ty Jifl i e il 7 i § I iy ! Il Mrs. Gaffe Swearing Allegiance to the Anarchist Banner at the Meeting in Washington-Square Hall. The new organization numbers nearly 00 members, and most of them were present, with a following of friends and admirers of Gori and of his eloquence. The enthusiasm was immense, for Gori's farewell address had just been delivered, and when his remarks culminated by pre- senting the banner, the red and black bunting was received with as many ac- clamations as if 1t had been a flag round which the audience was rallying to fight for hearth and home. The flag of the anarchists proved to be of a blood:red color, tastefully bordered with deep black, and on the red ground was inscribed in black the legend, “F. 8. A. L. I. N. X. Allianza Socialista- Anarchica di San Francisco” (Socialistic- Anarchical Federation of the Italian Workmen of North America, San Fran- cisco branch). The banner was handsomely mounted ona black staff tipped with gold, and it presented an extremely picturesque and imposing appearance. ‘When the acclamations which greeted the flag bad subsided enough for Pietro Gori to make himself heard he presented Mrs. G. Gaffe, the best-known lady orator in the Italian colony, and asked her to say a few words from the feminine side of the question. This young lady, who spoke with re- markable earnestness and conviction, said, among other things: “Weak of voice but strong of soul, I bow to the greas populace. Salve! to you, fellow-laborers. To-day we clasp our hands in eternal fra- ternity. To you, fellow-laborers, I consign this flag, red with the blood of the popu- lace’s, martyrs, the symbol of suffering and of future triumph. To this banner, the only one in the world that is not a symbol of tyranny, I solemnly swear love, fidelity and respect. When the day of struggle and of vindication shall have come, this banner will conduct you to the noble ideal for which we all ardently sigh.” Another wild burst of applause foll owed this invocation, after which Gori exhorted his followers in more elegant phrases, however, not to “hello!” till they were out of the wood. *It is useless to delude yourselves; you cannot fightin the van- guard of a great movement if you are not ready to make sacrifices. The greatest bitterness will come to you from those to whom you wish well and who will not un- derstand you. Buffoons will laugh at our simple ceremonies, but heed them not, for you are to work for the future welfare of bumanity. We are an association of propagandists, not a shop for the dissem- ination of bombs. We can offer you no hopes of office; you will never become Senators, Congressmen, not even school directors. All we can offer you is a dose of precaution. On this banaer are written the words of Dante: “ «Ogui viita convien che qui sia morta.’ As these words were pronounced a band situated in ‘the rear of the hall struck up the “Marseillaise.” Some of the audience applauded wildly, others took up the strains of the terrible hymn and sang the refrain, ““Aux Armes, Citoyens, Formez age from the country for which he had spent the best years of his life fighting. Gori was thoroughly effective and dra- matic as the old soldier, and Mrs. Bianci Gaffe gave a graceful interpretation of the daughter’s role. E. Bonini showed con- siderable dramatic ability as Don Andred, the kind old village priest, and F. Bar- beris, G. Vezzetto and P. Pedretti were all good in their respective parts. Y It was the “Fantocel Coloniali,” how- ever, which proved to be the sensation of the evening. These comic sketches, com- posed for the occasion by Pietro Gori, were skits on some of the leading members of the colony. The scene was supposed to pass in the fover of a ballroom, with a number of dis- tinguished officers and other guests danc- ing within. The make-up of the actors, who kept passing back and forth, was im- mediately recognized. An orator of the colony, who likes to reduce social ques- tions to “equations,” was at once recog- nized in his prototype on the stage. So were two distinguished ‘‘cavalieri,” who wore ribbons and orders and were called upon by the populace to make speeches. Among the other characters were a bright young journalist with a passion for photozraphy and a.gentleman of social- istic tendencies, who strongly disap- proved of anarchists. Taken altogether, the skits were amusing, without being cal- culated to wound the feelings of those car- icatured. Mrs. Bonini, who had plaied the mother in “Senza Patria,” showed her pretation of a masked dancer. The enter- tainment ended by Gori reciting his fine poem, *Addio a San Francisco.” FIRED AT THE CROWD. John Holmes, an Intoxicated Sailor, Discharges His Pistol on the ‘Water Front. A drunken sailor with a loaded' pistol and a howling cfowd of men and boys at the Broadway wharf was one of the Sun- day afternoon excitements. The arrival of the police brought the circus to an end, not, however, until the sailor had discharged one shot at a man named Jackson. The latter imagined, at least, that the shot was intended for him. Sailor John Holmes was locked up at the California-street station, with a charge of an assault with a deadly weapon against his name. ——————— TWO SUDDEN DEATHS. The Bodies of Max Levy and James McCarthy Taken to the Morgue. Two sudden deaths were reported at the Coroner’s office yesterday. The firsi was that of Max Levy, aged 58 years, who was, found at 7:30 o'clock in the forenoon- at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Mjchelson, 1206} Turk street, where he had been stopping for some time. The deceased had been in poor health for some time previous, and when found by his nurse, A. G. McMaster, he was fully dressed and lying across the bed. An examination of the body by the Coroner showed that death had resulted from apoplexy. A Officer Jennings discovered the dead body of James McCarthy, aged 38 years, a horseshoer, in the vegetable market on Pacific and Front streets at 2. o’clock., It is supposed that his death resulted from nfi:{:l causes, as he had been dissipating of 3 versatility by giving a sprightly. inter- |’ -Brunotte, Thierbach, Kuhls, A. of outsiders, who were ireely invited to enter the match. At 12 o’clock lunch was served in the park restaurant,on which occasion impromptu speeches were the order. Philo Jacoby made the principal address, in which he highly complimented the Swiss people, of which the Grutli Ver- ein is composed, for the impetus they had given to marksmanship over the entire world. The Swiss people, he declared, were the originators o}’ target contests, and it was mainly due to this fact that they had been enabled to maintain their linerty against numerically superior forces. He recounted an incident after a famous battle where a Swiss soldier expressed great chagrin be- canse he had fired fifty shots and had seen only forty-nine of the enemy drop. Inthe afternoon the shooting was continued. The California Schuetzen Club, the Ein- tracht Schuetzen Cluband the ladies of the California _Schuetzen Club also held matches. The light was excellent, and the club members showed their appreciation by running up very good scores.

Fairly Good Scores Made in the Rain and Mist. For all the rain and the mist yesterday 9 there were a goodly number of rifiemen at Captain L. Siebe’s range at Shell Mound. Early in the day the light was excellent, and it was a noticeable feature that those who shot before 1 o’clock did better work than they did after that hour. From about noon there were intermittent show- ers which lasted until dark. The principal event was the monthly medal contest of the Red Men’s Shooung Section, and before the targets were closes fully. fifty men fired their scores. The winners and scores were as follows: Champion class medal, John Zimmermann, 369 rings; first-class medal, H. Bach, 369; sec- ond-class ‘medal, P. H. Rulffs, 287; third-class medal, J. A.

Be The purchasers of the British bark Sharpshooter are just beginning to find out that they have a white elephant on their hands. The vessel was dismasted in the Gulf of California and after many vicissitudes finally reached portin tow of a Mexican revenue cutter. She was after- ward towed to San Francisco by the tug Fearless and the trouble over her insur- ance and freight money has not yet been settled. Captain Watts tried again and again to come to an understanding with Grace & Co. and the underwriters, but failed and finally the bark was sold o the_highest bidder. A syndicate of which J. F. Cun- ningham and A. P. Lorentzen were the principals purchased the wreck, but they now find that instead of §3000 or §4000 for repairs it will cost all of $9000. When it came to chipping the rust from the hull it was found that many of the plates were worn through and in consequence over sixty new ones had to be put in. In order to strengthen the vessel a layer of cobbles has been laid along her keelson and this has been cemente§ over making one_solid mass. which will be hard to dislodge. When her repairs are completed the Sharpshooter will appear as a barkentine. Bhe will be as good as new, but then her owners could have built a new vessel for just about what she has cost them. The harpshooter will take the place of the schooner Viking in the South Sea Island trade and Captain_Luttrell will probably go out in command of her. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Umatilla sailed for Puget Sound ports yes- terday with over 270 passengers. Of these nearly 100 are men bound for the Alaskan gold ‘fields. Hundreds more are on the way, and there is bound to be much suf- fering as the ice and snow around fitka and Juneau have not yet begun to melt, and it will be another month before any- body can-make a start for the mines. The Government officials are well posted as to the seasons in the north, and the Secretary of the Treasury in fixing April 15as an early date for the cutters to start for Ber- ing Sea from Port Townsend said it was the necessity of keeping a close watch on poachers that entailed such an early de- parture. Half a dozen vessels are now fit- ting out for the mines, and it is safe to say that over 1000 men will leave San Fran- cisco for the Yukon, without counting those who will go from Alameda, Fresuo, Stockton and Sacramento via this port. The steamer Bouita arrived from south- ern ports yesterday morning. As soon as her cargo was discharged she was steamed %to South Vallejo, where she took aboard tons of flour for Newport. The San Francisco mills are reaching out for the southern trade, and this will hot be the last cargo the Pacific Coast Steamship Company will carry. The monitor Comanche was visited by almost every member of the Naval Reserve yesterday. They were all particularly well pleased with the vessel, and by next Sun- day will have her ready for inspection. On that occasion they will run the launch Amy and the steamer Caroline, besides all the boats owned by the battalion.

Grassing Live Birds Near Mountain View—Carroll’s Long Shot. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather yesterday quite a number of pig- eon shooters assembled at Mountain View to witness a special live-bird shoot, got up by J. R. Carroll of the Olympic Club. Although it rained in this City it was pleasant at the shooting grounds. After the contests were over the contestants ad- journed to a pretty site under an old oak, where a grand feast of good things was enjoyed by the rusticators. uring the shoot Fanning scored thirty- four straight, which was considered excel- lent shooting considering the speedy flight of the birds from the traps. The most as- tonishing event of the day was Carroll's long shot with a 16-bore gun. He killed a fast flying bird dead at_seventy-five yards from the trap, and needless to sav that the gentleman who accomplished this trick received quite an ovation. The result of the shoots wil! be found in the following scores. J. Fanning.. J. Fanning.. J. R.
