Eleven new dectors emerged from the | chrysalis state last evening, and having THEY RESIGNED BY WHOLESALE, Surprises at the French Benevolent Society Election. WEILL WAS DISGUSTED. Besides the President Nine Di- rectors Gave Up Their Portfolios. NEW SURGEON AND SPECIALIST De Marville and Mayer Borne to Victory on a Tidal Wave of Excit:ment. The spirit of unrest of the French Min- 1stry flashed over from the home country as by heliograph, intensified by the 6000 miles traversed, could not have raised more “Cain’’ than the proceedings of the meeting of the Societe Francaise de Bien- faisance Mutuelle, held last evening at 318 Post street. This is the greatest organization the Krench have on this coast, numbering nearly 4000 members on its roll, and it_has been in existence for more than thirty years. $ As the name would indicate it is purely a benevolent association, the ben_efit! of which are principally the subscribers or members’ privileges to enjoy the use of the French Hospital or to have its visiting physicians call at their domicile. Quite recently—not over three weeks ago—an election was held by the members 10 select an executive committee of fifteen members and resident as weli as visiting physicians. : The by-laws of the society require that all candidates must receive a majority of the votes cast to be elected, and on this vroposition a rock. was struck which is | likely to shake the eniire institution to such an extent that younger and more ener- getic timber will have to be put into it to save it from destruction. Drs. G. Gross and Bourgougnon de Mar- ville, two highly esteemed and capable physicians, were in opposition for the pest of visiting physician. Dr. Gross had held the office for neariy a dozen years and de Marville, who is comparatively & new man in this country and with the society, made no effort to secure electlon. He polled a heavy vote, however. 70 be sure 1t was not exough to elect him, but it crippled Dr. Gross® vote considerably. The latter was de- clared elected, but one of the de Marville faction noticing that Gross’ vote did not show a majority of those cast demurred to his taking office. This strange state of affairs came about m ‘his wise: There were votes cast, the majority required being 278 votes. Gross got only 273, owing to the fact that 67 votes cast on the total were declared illegal by the election board. To test whether Dr. Gross is entitled to his seat the matter was recently brought up before Judge Slack, and is to be neard on May 4. This friction was but an opening to last night’s shake up.

Coroner Hawkins Notified and the Case Will Be Thoroughly In. vestigated. The deadly trolley has added another to its long list of fatalities. Last evening Mrs. V. N. Johnson, wife of Special Pension Examiner V. N. Johnson, who was run down by a Turk-street electric car on the 24th inst., succumbed to the injuries she then received. Mrs. Johnson, who resided at 612 Van Ness avenue, had been making a purchase at a meat market on Turk street, just west | charge of the class made vacant by the | of Van Ness avenue. It is not ordinarily dangerous to cross the thoroughfare at that point, and owing to that fact Mrs. Johnson did not take un- usual precaution in crossing the track. Just as she had passed over the track, however, the startling alarm-bell of an east-bound car filled her with consterna- tion. Looking up she saw the car bearing down upon her at a frightful speed. The horror of the situation caused her to lose all presence of mind, and in her confusion she turned and started to recross the track. Tie motorman tried his best to check the momentum of his car, butit was too late and the unfortunate woman hurled to the ground and drageed quite a distance over the cobbles. After consider- able difficnlty she was removed from her »osition under the car and taken to her home, which was only about a block distant. When the matter was reported to the railway company’s headquarters Dr. C. W. Ward, one of the company’s staff, visited the injured woman in order to uscertain the exact extent of her injuries. A cursory examination convinced the doctor that the injuries were extremely serious.« Mr. Johnson then summoned Dr. Ragen, who cared for Mrs. Johnson up to the time of her death. Coroner Hawkins was notified of Mrs. Johnson's death last night, and he imme- diately detailed Deputy Coroner O'Brien 1o investigate the case.” An autopsy will be hela by Dr. J. 8. Barrett to-day in order that the exact cause of death may be as- certained and the responsibility “placed where it belongs. FATEER YORKE TO SPEAK. ‘Will Lecture for the Catholic Ladies’ Aid Society.

No Charges Made Against Easton & Eldridge in Charles Lloyd’s | Suit. i A suit was filed yesterday against Peter Kehl and Easton, Eldridge & Co., in which fraud was charged by Charles Lloyd. Lloyd purchased some land in San Ber- nardino from Kehl. transfer was conducted by Easton & Eldridge. Lloyd found the property not what he said he was led to believe, and so brought smt against Kehl.

G. W. Hall with fitting ceremony. There was no lack of attendance, the hall was filled to the doors; there was no lack of applause nor of congratulations and fragrant flowers, and intermingled were choice words of advice and warning from those who are turning from the end of the path which the graduates are just entering. Professor William Simpson, M.D., of | San Jose, delivered the address of wel- come. He extended greeting to the au- dience which had assembled to cheer ana enthuse the graduates as they took their first step forward, not as college fledglings, but as men and women fit to battle with the most dreaded enemies of the race— pain and death. Continuing, Dr. Simpson said: Your alma mater has said you are prepared for the contest. In the presénce of this army of cheering and supporting friends; before these footlights and in the flush of success in passing the crucial and dreaded test.of your examinations the &nswer seems easy, but in the quiet of your own closet, in the inmost sanctuary of your very souls, in the sickroom, in the chamber where the life of the mother and ber unborn babe depends upon the rapidity of your thought and the deitness of your hand; in the hushed and awiful chamber | of aeath—death from whom there can be no escape—death, before whom ell must yield, whether they be the young, the beautiful or the gifted, a relentless enemy, insisting upon having his victim. How under these circum- stances will you answer to God and to your own conscience? When you go out from this hall to-night with the right to enter upon this fight fully con- _ | ferrea, if you are satisfied with yonr prepara- tion, if you are full of self-confidence and be- lieve that with your student life your studies are ended, tear your diplomas into fragments end seek some occupation where conceit out- ranks brains.

Rey. George E. Walk delivered an ad- dress in which he compared the physician, or the minister of the body, to the clergy- man, the minister of the soul. Each should be abeve reproach, he said, for the man who cures the consciences need be no better morally than he who enters the privacy of a home to cure the ailing body. Frank Coffin rendered two vocal selec- tions, ana at the close of the programme the graduates were handed their diplomas and then together they unhscnbedpto the hippoeratic oath. The graduates were: Bessie Crosby Armstrong of Granville, Ohio; Frank Luce Bateman and Lillie Boldeman, of San Francisco; Mary Dunlap Chisholm of Wentworth, Nova Scotia; Harriett How- ell of Los_Gatos, Cal.; Mary Ellen Hof- mann_ of Philadelphia, Pa.; Jera Morton Mansfield of Napa, Cal.; John Brian Mc- Nally of S8an Francisco; Clarence Denver Potter, Charles Kendall Small and Alda Inez Thompson, of Oakland. Carnival Rates to Santa Rosa.

The young physician’s popularity and the fact that he was known to ge a satisfactory candidate to manv of the voters at the last election pushed him to the front. The vote was cust and, to the consterna- tion of President Sylvain Weill, and, in fact, of some of the others, De Marville wag elected on the first ballot. There was an immediate hubbub and a motion for reconsideration, which was sat upon. Pl’resi\]ent ‘Weill, the strongest supporter of Dr. Bryham, felt quite sore and was not backward in expressing his sorrow that such an old practitioner and servant of the society had been voted out. But this was not all. The last straw fol- lowed soon after. Dr. Bamuel Boyd came up supposedly as the only candidate as specialist. But the eruptions had not ceased. Somebody again, in a spirit of fun or contradiction, placed Dr. Oscar J. Mayer in nomination, and he was carried to victory on the tidal-wave. “Ca_c’est trop fort!” exclaimed Presi- dent Weill, rising to the occasion. Then, hesitating a few seconds and viewing the assemblage, he remarked: B “Gentlemen, I herewith desire to pre- sent my resignation as president and asa airector of the Societe Francaise de Bien- faisance Mutuelle.” The levity and gibes indulged in vrior to this were bushed. Each member realized the loss the sociely was incurring and protests innumerable were beard on all sides, but Mr. Weill would not withdraw his resiznation. At this juncture the strangest of all things occurred. One after the other ten members of the directory, eight of whom had yoted for the candidates who were objectionable to Mr., Weill, jumped up and like so many firecrackers snapped out their respective resignations. The scene was a lively one, and when it was all over the dazed members grouped in twos and threes to discuss results. As the matter stands the president and Secretary J. Deschamps are out and there is no one to call the next general meeting, which alone can replace them. The only four members left in the di: rectory out of fifteen are: P. Caraes, J. Bergez, C, A. Lemoine and L. Bocqueraz. Those who resigned besides President Weilt are: I. Culnin, E. Messager, J. Deschamps, O. Bozio, L. Carraine, F. Fagothey, F. Queyrel, F. A. Bergerot, M. Roos an rtion. COLD AT LAKE TAHOE. Even the Fish Seem to Be Frozen Out, and Have Not Yet Commenced Ruoning. Deputy Fish Commissioner £. W. Hunt writes from Lake Tahoe as follows: Board of Fish Commissioners—GENTLEMEN: Since my last letter of April 21 we have had very stormy weather, there being a heavier fall of snow last Thursday and Friday than atany time during last winter. Thirty inches of snow fell at Tallac and thirty-eight inches at Tahoe City. I have taken 1,250,000 eggs up to date, and they are doing nicely.
