4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1896. PORTLAND'S JACK THE STRANGLER Detectives Capture a Man Who Kills Women as a Pastime. HE IS OLD IN CRIME. Believed to Be the Fiend Who Murdered Outcasts in San Francisco. CONFESSES TO ONE CRIME. Says He Merely Wanted to See How His Victim Appeared When + Dead. PORTLAND, Or., May 7.—Detectives Welsh and Cody last evening took into custody John R. Cosgrove, whose arrest may possibly establish the identity of the thug who recently strangled several out- cast women in S8an Francisco. On the night of April 28, Marie le Livie, a woman of the town, living one door north of Fourth and Ash streets, reported at police headquarters that a stranger had attempted to strangle her. Her story was to the effgct that the man entered her apartments, inducing her to walk with him toa room in the rear. There, without saying a word, he threw her upon a bed, and encircling her neck with both hands, proceeded to choke her. The woman suc- ceeded in making sufficient noise to attract her sister, occupying an adjoining room. ‘When the sister entered Marie’s room, Cosgrove relinquished the grasp on his victim’s throat and walked out of the viace most unconcernedly. The woman left a minute description of Cosgrove at the police station, and, prior to his arrest, the women in the Whitechapel district have been living in terror since the attempt upon Marie’s life, Detectives Welsh and Cody have been working assiduously on the case until they ran their man down. He proves iobea most vicious and dangerous character. He is 31 years of age and evidences an extraordinarily depraved nature. To De- tective Cody Cosgrove last night confessed being the man who attempted to strangle Marie le Livie, who has already identified him beyond a question of doubt. When Detective Cody asked the prisoner what his motive was for the commission of so horrible a crime, he is alleged to have said that he merely wanted to see how she appeared after deatn. Cosgrove has been a resident here. off and on, for some time, and was a boon companion of the notorious Fred Love who a few montbs ago broke jail in Astoria, and who now is supposed to be serving time in one of the Pacific Coast penitentiaries. About three years ago Cosgrove was arrested in Victoria, B. C., under the name of John Thair for high- way robbery. His mother, a resident of San Francisco, furnished a large sum of cash bail for his appearance, but it seemed to be understood that Cosgrove Should forfeit his bonds, for it is claimed that the charge against him was a convicting one. He fled from Victoriaand never revisited that place, Since then he has beenin San Francisco the greater part of the time. ‘When arrested Cosgrove had on his per- son a ticket to San Francisco. The prison- er’s statement that only a morbid desire prompted him to make an attempt upon Marie le Livie's life impresses the detec- tives with the belief that he will prove to be the strangler of San Francisco, and his photograph will to-night be sent to Chief of Police Crowley of that City. Cosgrove's stepfather, Charles Wilcox, is serving a life sentence in the Folsom penitentiary for murdering a man in San Jose. Cosgrove waived examination in the Municipal Court this afternoon, and in default of bonds was committed to the County Jail to'awsit the action of the Grand Jury.

MONTEREY, Can, May 7.—In the Buperior Court at Salinas to-day Attorney ‘W. A. Kearney, on behalf of City Clerk S. J. Duckworth of Monterey, asked Judge Dorn to convene a Grand Jury in special session for an investigation of election frauds committed in the last city election here.

Series of Strange Frauds Which Keep a Fresno Man in Continual Trouble. FRESNO, Car., May 7.—J. E. Woodward was to-day lodged in the County Jail by Constable Irvine of Sanger on a charge of perjury. Woodward was apprehiended in Bakersfield. He is a strange character, and is by many considered to be insane. Several months ago Woodward sent a false telegram from Fresno to his aunt, Mrs, Downing, in Oakland, stating that her husband, who was teaching school at Huron in this county, had died suddenly. Mrs. Downing and children came to Fresno on the first train, after having made arrangements in Oakland for the funeral. Mr. Downing was peacefully teaching school and was unaware of the sending of the telegram. Woodward was arrested for this offense, and Justice Austin sent him to jail for six months. He was released a few weeks ago, and immediately wentto two grocery- stores and ordered large supplies of gro- ceries for a boarding-nouse which he pre- tended he had started. At both places he secured pieces of tobacco, of which he said he was in immediate need. The gro- ceries, he said, would be paid for upon HEALDSBURG'S BANNER DAY, Maiden Beauty Vies With Floral Sweetness in a Gay Parade. FIREMEN IN THE LEAD. Red-Shirted Exempts From San Francisco Given the Place of Honor. HORRIBLES ON A SECOND RAID. Wondrous Characters Personated by the Jolly Maskers of King Cook. HEALDSBURG, CaL., May 7.—Thurs- day morning broke clear and bright, with not a cloud in Sonoma’s azure sky. Warm and beautiful, the wind at rest, no presented an imposing sight. The steam- boat which followed, propelled by two horses which were nidden inside of it, was a beautiful float and justified the applause which greeted it from all the onlookers, Charley Holmes of Santa Rosa was cap- tain. The rest of the parade features were as follows: Petaluma firemen, 123 strong, with en- giue, fine uniforms and everything deco- rated in a figished manner. Petaluma Hook and Ladder Company, their truck, which was built in 1850, show- ing no evidence of its age under the beau- ful flowers with which it was decked. The Healdsburg Hose Company formed a part of this division, the members clad in natty uniforms. The Sotoyome band of Healdsburg was followed by the Tournament Knights, in brilliant - - acconterments. Then came Queen Alice on her royal float. Miss Haigh looked very beautiful in her dais, under a silk and fioral canopy, surrounded by her maids of honor. The chariot was bedecked with 1lilies, roses and other flowers. It was drawn by four white horses with satin harness, led by .knights, and was accompanied by knightsin armor as outriders and guards. The costumes on this float were magnificent and were a fine setting for the lovely faces of the-owners. A. W. Foster’s big gray horses drew a carriage in which sat a pretty girl in pink. Harry Cummingsrode in a rig, d_acorated with yellow satin a :d poppies, with a fair Sotoyome by his side. Rev. Mr. Meiler entered a carriage which contained Willie Cochran of San Fran- ciscoand Lena Luce of Healdsburg. It was covered with wild flowers and moss, and a pink silk canopy shaded the occu- pants from the sun. The Healdsburg Lodge, Knights of QUEEN ALICE OF HEALDSBURG ON THE ROYAL FLOAT. delivery. He was arrested and given a nalf-hour to leave town. Woodward next went to Selma. While in jail bere he was confined in a cell with Professor W. A. Sanders, who is connected with the celebrated Wootton mystery. Sanders’ home is about six miles east of Selma. . : When he entered Selma, Woodward rushed vp to Constable Martin and told the officer he had just come in from San- ders’ ranch and that Mrs. Sanders had committed suicide. The report reached this city, and there was considerable ex- citement for several hours until it was learned tnat there was nothing in the re- ort. T Woodward next went to Sanger, where he swore to a complaint before Justice Cummings charging John Doe with rob- bing him of a gold watch, diamond pin and $125 1n Redding on the 12th of Janu- ary. He immediately dinrpeured, A constable of Justice Cummings’' court afterward learned that on January 12 ‘Woodward was in the County Jail serving a sentence for sending the talse telegram. A warrant for perjury was accordingly issued, leading to the man's arrest in Bakersfield yesterday. —_— Many Dwellings Looted. SAN JOSE, Car., May 7.—During the carnival parade yesterday thieves entered the rooms of Mr.and Mrs. E. A. Hale of Sacramento and stole two satchels contain- ing $700 worth of jewelry. Among the articles taken were a gold breastpin set with emeralds and diamonds and a dia- mond scarfpin. Thieves had their own way in Santa Clara yesterday during the great parade, and by the time the populace of that sec- tion had got home about a score of resi- dences had been ransacked and about $2000 worth of booty secured. At the residence oi K. C. Phelps, on the corner of Market and Lafayette streets, every trunk, bureau and chest had been broken open. About $1000 worth of jewelry and silyerware was taken. J. M. Clark lost a fine gold watch and jewelry aggregating the value of $200, and Mrs. Bonne a quantity of silverware. The houses of J. K. Davis, C. Sturges, F. M. Smead, 8. anders, H. M. Sheldon, A. L. Kellogg and J. M. Kimberlin were looted. The robberies are supposed to have been the work of an organized gang. GRONTH OF SN Ak One Hundred and Siity Cottages Built During the Past Year. An Average Expenditure of $2000 a Day for Labor and Ma. terial. BSAN JOSE, CArn., May 7.—The Merecury this morning published a detailed state- ment of the building operations in this city during the year ending April 30, 1896, It shows a healthy, normal growth, the most noticeable feature of which is the building up of the residence portion,where 160 neat little cottages were erected in that time. The total number. of buildinge erected is 184, with an expenditure of $617,000. This snows thats new building was erected" every two days in the year at an expen- diture of nearly $2000 during every work- ing gay of that period. There wers also alterations, necessitating the spending of many thousands of dollars, which are not included in the statement. All of the cot- tages were erected for homes, and this alone shows a rapid growth of the city. —_— . Herrmann’s Sons to Pionie. SAN JOSE, Car., May 7.—The annual sessior of the Grand Lodge of the Herr- mann’s Sons will meet in this city next Monday morning, About seventy-five delegates will be in attendance. On Sun- day the Herrmann’s Sons societies of San Francisco will pienic at Agricultural Park, and the local lodge is muking extensive arrangements for their entertainment. vpleasanter day could have been chosen for the climax of Healdsburg’s Floral Carni- val. The crowds were early astir. Red- shirted firemen from San Francisco and otker cities, many of them with beards grizzled in long service, pointed out to wives and daughters the beauties of the Gem City of Old Sonoma. The town was full of beautiful women. Where they all came from is a question. It seemed as though the gates of Paradise must have opened and let out a band of seraphs. The bright faces, beautiful toilets and spark- ling eyes, together with the flowers, greens | and gaily-colored bunting so lavishly dis- played, give one the impression that the Garden of Eden was located in Sotoyome Valley and has not yet been abolished. The plaza is brilliant in blue and gold, fes- toons bpeing hung across, around and about it. Every store front is resplendent in colors and the very atmosphere breathes the carnival spirit. The early train from Ukiah brought the Ukiah band and a large contingent of fair visitors with their husbands, brothers and sweethearts. The band msarched down the streets, rendering excellent music. The early freight train from San Fran- cisco brought the Exempt fire engine; the tire laddies had already come up the pre- vious night. Room was made in the en- gine-shed at the City Hall for the vigiting machine, and the boys proceeded to re- polish and decorate their pet. All through the sunny morning hours the bands occupied the grand bandstand, and melodious strains floated over the town. During the hours preceding the floral parade, townspeople and visitors promenaded through the streets, gayly chatting, exchanging gregtings, the strangers pronouncing Healdsburg the most attractive town they had ever visited. 5 The window decorations are superb. Merchants have been vying with each other as to who should make the most attractive display. Banks of flowers, blooming roses, little ponds, fountains, lilies and ferns make the prettiest of them, although many are decorated with colored bunting, and some with stuffed or living birds. Looking down the vista of the broad, tree-lined avenues the first view reminds one of a kaleidoscope, the gorgeous hues of dresses and flowers mingling in a be- wildering manner. Aboveand beyond are the green trees, flowering shrubs, backed by cozy cottages, and in the further dis- tance are seen the stately hills which bor- der the lovely valley in which the town is situatea. The time set for the floral parade was 11 o’clock, just after the arrival of the regu- lar train from San Francisco. A special train from Petaluma arrived just previ- ously crowded with enthusiastic Petalu- mans, who brought with them a fine band. Both trains were met at the depot and their crowds escorted in triumph over well-sprinkled streets to the town proper. At a very few minutes past the ap- pointed time the procession formed. It was the most extensive and the finest dis- play ever seen in northern Sonoma County and the crowds which packed the side- walks along the line of march and filled the plaza testified its approval by frequent and long-continued applause. First came the marshal, Lon Morton, with his aids, Frank Murphy of Santa Rosa and Colonel H. F. Burns of the San Francisco Exempt Fire Department. Then came the red-shirted Exempts of San Fran- cisco, headed by their own band. The long lines drew by ropes the old Exempt fire engine, rendered gorgeous by floral decorations. Next was the Healdsburg Exempt fire company ‘with its engine, beautiful in the wealth of roses which the “boys” had artistically placed so thickly as to almost hide the ‘‘0old machine,” The second division was headed by the Park band of Petaluma, which preceded Company E, N. G. C., of Santa Rosa. The boys marched well, like old veterans, and Pythias, had a striking float, representing atemple, in w!ich‘'sat the sages of the order, while armored knights guarded the rear of the room. Six horses in white harness, driven by Phil Stoffel, drew the handsome vehicle. Mzs. R. Powell and Miss Pearl Pierce rode under a canopy of Howers, while the carriage resembled & bank of floral beauty. A tandem team of handsome horses drew Mrs, L. A. Norton and Miss Rose Austin. The eye dwelt in admiration on the wealth of yellow silk and satin and the wondrous California poppies which covered body and wheels of the carriage. Mrs. Anita de Fitch Grant and her handsome danghter, Miss Fitch, appeared in a rig covered with gray moss and wild flowers. Mesdames Hotchkiss, Miller, Wight- man and Grove were drawn by a large sor- rel horse, covered like the carriage with floral beauty. Mrs, and Miss Rowland were seated in a bank of moss and roses and drawn by a handsome sorrei horse. The Ukiah band, generous with its music, preceded the Mill Creek school dis- play, which represented a camping-out scene, with trees, flowers, tent, kettle and cooking rig, not forgetting the pretty campers, of which there werea half dozen. The Sebastopol stage, decorated finely and loaded down with handsome toilets and smiling faces, followed. The “Old Oaken Bucket,” composed of flowers, with its old well and sweep, with young ladies to operate it, was entered by Mill Creek school district. It was a unique design, well planned-and executed. A magnificent float representing a gigan- tic white swan, under a canopy of green and roses, was furnished by Mrs. Austiu. On the corners were miniature sloops, manned by pretty boys. The Cloverdale band headed the next division, and was followed by the “cutest” turnouts in the whole procession. Two poodle dogs, owned by Mrs. Capell, drew a little wagon bearing a pretty boy, and were followed by a neat goat cart owned by Mrs. Favour. A procession of horsemen and ladies followed, in handsome costumes, being from Santa Rosa, Alexander Valley, Cloverdale and Healdsburg. The last horses in this line were decorated with gray mosses and flowers. Mrs. Newlands furnished a turnout wlich carried four girls—pretty ones too— in white dresses, while the vehicle was hiaden with white roses. The Cloverdale band sent a float which was ‘a wreath of calla lilies and white roses. In the center of an immense white lily sat a representative of the beauty of Cloverdale. *‘Rebekahat the Well” was a float fur- nished by the Rebecca Lodge of Healds- burg. It was excellent in design and execution and the costumes were appro- priate. Rebekah was impersonated by Miss Ollie Soules. Guilford school district turned out the whole schoolroom and teacher, all in holiday attire and very well behaved. Both teacher and scholars seemed free from care and very happy. Alexander Valley school vied with the others in the beauty of its decorations. Geyserville was represented by a hand- some float, with a double line of well- drilled boys on one side and a similar line of little girls on the other, who went through with their dumbbell exercises to the music of a cabinet organ. Six deco- rated horses drew them along. Healdsburg public school entered a float which was a marvel of beauty. ‘Windsor Band headed the bicycle turn- out. Petalume Bicycle Club came up fifty strong, while the neighboring towns and local wheelmen made up quite a lengthy and imposing parade. Not the least’ noticeable feature of this were the small girls with ornamented wheels, who came flr’fi,ln th:{llme. 5 d affat d e parade was voted a air, an vlsltorgwunhsin pmnonnfi:: it the’best ever seen in this section of the State. The prizes of the floral parade wereaward- | ed by Judges E. B, Vreelana of San Fran- cisco, John Buckingham of Ukiah, George B. Baer of the Cloverdale Reveille, R. Powell ot Healdsburg, J. W. Oates of Santa Rosa, W. B. Haskell of Petaluma and George H. Baxter of Sebastopol. They were as follows: Best decorated float—First prize, Mrs. R. Austin; second, “The Old Oaken Bucket” float, ‘Windsor; third, Cloverdale lily float. For best show made by a wheelmen’s club, the Petaluma boys took the prize. Best decorated windows and fronts—The Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank first, H. M. Keyes second, and H. H. Meyer third. Interior decorations—XMrs. Paxton first, Gunn & Ferguson second. During the afternoon the Horribles again put in their appearance, led by & band of appalling dimensions, which strung hideous music over its course. The royal chariot was a construction never to be forgotten, in which burlap sacks strug- gled for supremacy over old shingles aud baling rope. The ‘“city dads” were well Tepresented by tine specimens of sheep that looked out appealingly from their traveling prison. The city prison held some poor unfortunates, who were kept in bounds only by the lively club of the guardian, who rode on the front seat. To £ill out the procession was a collection of shapes from trampdom; and ‘‘Dante’s Inferno” in the parade excited as much at- tention, if not admiration, as the floral pageant of the morning. Following this very gracefully was an- other tilting tournament by the Dry Creek and Healdsburg teams. This was excit- ing sport, and the sidewalks and streets were so packed that the crowd had to be continually repressed by the good-natured marshals. The Dry Creek team, with 1ts scores, follow: Ed Thompson, 4; Al Dun- can, 6; Charley Cox, 7; Joe Cox, 3; Tom Harrow, 4. The Healdsburz team and scores: George Merchant, 5; Charles Keyes, 3; Arthur Haigh, 8; Bert Haigh, 8. Three tilts apiece at three rings suspended from poles, horses at full speed, were allowed each contestant. The concert at Truitts Theater was well attended; in fact, every available inch of rcom was taken and many strove in vain to enter. It was by both local and San Francisco talent, who rendered new and excellent music to an appreciative audi- ence. ° To-morrow bids fair to be another great day. The wind is soft and balmy, only a gentle breeze from the south, and while some have been compelled to go away, large numbers remain to see the bicycle races and attend the ball in the evening. Bridging the San Joaguin. FRESNO, Cav., May 7.—A force of men have begun the work of constructing the Valley Railroad bridge across the San Joaquin River at a point ten miles north of this city and two miles above Herndon. A carload of bridge material was unloaded at Herndon to-day. The men began work | on the bridge site three days ago, and so quietly have they been about it that the news was not received here until this eveniug. It is now expected that the road will reach Fresno some time in August, as promised, so this’ year’s crops can be shipped on a competing road. PSS ) Builders’ Indemnity Company.

EVERED BROW—BY THE TERM fever is meant that abstract condition which is common to all so-called febrile disorders and the presence which gives them their claim to that designation. Essentially it means undue elevation of the animal heat, the immediate or proxi- mate causes of that elevation and the con- sequences which these conditions entail. The presence of abnormal or febrile tem- perature is usually attended with varions symptoms and phenomena more or less characteristic of the febrile state. ‘The skin gets hot. The pulse and breathing quickened. Gastro-intestinal function impaired. The urine and other secretions dimin- ished. Headache and muscular pains are fre- quent. First—Chilly and cold sensation. Second—The skin dry and hot. Third—More or less abundant perspira- tion. ‘When you have fever— YOUR BLOOD IS POISONED. YOUR BLOOD IS THIN. YOUR LIVER IS TORPID. YOUR STOMACH IS FOUL. YOUR BOWELS ARE CONSTIPATED, YOUR HEAD ACHES. B YOUR BONES ACHE. YOUR SKIN IS DRY, YOUR SKIN 1S HOT. Every organ and tissue in the body is in a condition below normal and is crying for help.
