THE SA N FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1896. SHADOWS ON THE HOUSE OF SILENCE: The Death of Young Fred Bell Expected at Any Moment. HIS MYSTERIOUS HURTS. His Regard for a Young Lady Who Resides in the Ferry House. mother of the young man Fred Bell, re- mains closely confined in her man- sion at Octavia and Bush streets. There, Erotec'.ed by Mammy Pleas- who ance, became " so prominent as Sarah Althea Hill's champion in the cele- brated Sharon divorce suit, no one can aporoach her. She is the one most inter- ested in young Bell’s life or death, as his interest in the property left by Thomas Bell means a haif million dollars more or less to her share of the estate. In speaking of Mammy Pleasance, who advises Mrs. Bell in her mode of pro- cedure, it may be recalled that only a few days ago Judge Belcher and a jury of twelve prominent taxpayers, left the City Hall courtroom to dance attendance upon the oid colored lady and get her testimony in the case of a man named Saville, who was charged with forgery. Mammy Pleasance was too ill, so it was said, to leave her bed to attend court and testify to the guilt of the man she was rosecuting. ’Fhe court and jury, there- ore, sought her in her ‘bed in the **House of Silence.” The very next day Mammy Pleasance wasup and around with the vigor of a 20-year-old girl, and she has been up and around ever since, just as she was only a few hours before she held the levee for Judge Slack and the jury. Saville, the defendant in the case, was convicted and is now serving a term of years in the penitentiary. In this Saville case, as in the dual acci- dents of Thomas Bell and his son, the tongue of gossip has been busy, growing more -busy as the interested parties make the Fred Bell case more mysterious. A LITTLE CHURCH. The Rev. Oliver C. Miller Has Started A PARISIAN SCANDAL REVIVED Private Detectives Who Believe That Bell Did Not Meet With an Accident, Cerberus-like, a stalwart negro guards the portals of the “House of Silence.” Callers at the lugubrious mansion on Bush and Octavia streets are all tréated alike. It is not, “‘Madam is away from home" or *‘call again,” it is plain: “Now, yo’ look heah, young man, yo’ move right ’long; no pusson heah wants talk to yo’ kind folks.” And still it is to this house that Dr. P. the Second Evangelical Lutheran Church Here. The Rev. Oliver C. Miller. who some years ago started the first English Evan- gelical Lutheran Chureh in this City, and which now has a prosperous congregation and a fine edifice on Geary street, near Gough, has returned from his Southern home in_Virginia and started his second English Lutheran Evangelical Church of the Holy Spirit in what is known as the The ‘“House of Silence” Where Banker Thomas Bell Met With a Tragic and Mysterious Death Four Years Ago. It Is in This Mansion That the Widow and “Mammy” Pleasant Live, and They Refuse to Give Details of the Recent Accident Which Befell Fred Bell, Who Is Now Dying as His Father Died. A. Kearney directs every one desiring 1n- formation touching upon the fate of young Frederick Bell. Bell's life is fast ebbing if it has mot al- *Little Brown Church,” at 2127 Jackson street. Previous to locating on the present site the Rev. Mr. Miller conducted services in Franklin Hall, on Fillmore street, where ready passed away after an accident or | he assembled about him quite a numerous worse, which occurred more than a week ago. The peoole of his immediate sur- rounding have studiously refused to make known the details of the strange affair, and as the days go by the mystery grows deeper. Thomas Bell, the young man’s father, died asa result of an occurrence similar to the present one. He, a millionaire, | with attendants to watch his every move- | ‘ments, was said to have strayed away from | his bedroom toward midnight four years ago, falling down a circular stairway and meeting with death on the basement ce- ment flooring two floors below. No one saw the happening until the sickening thud of his body as it struck called atten- tion to the fact that something dreadful bad occurred. The details of that tragedy were withheld for days until the tongue of gossip was silenced at the Coroner’sin- quest. Even then dreadful suspicion of foul play was rife, to be revived at this late day, when the wealthy man’s son is lying on his deathbed under circumstances so sim- ilar that they are positively startling. The latest tragedy occurred at the house | 1107 Bush street, kept by Mrs. Clinton D. | Ferry, a-lady whose prominence as the wife of “The Duke'of Tacoma” once brought her into contact with the news- paper world. Under the circumstances she has an aversion for all news-seekers, and she, following the example of Dr. P. A. Kearney, stands like a signpost on a de- seried road, pointing toward the ‘‘House of Silence.” i Mrs. Ferry, it will be remembered, vis- ited Paris, France, some years ago with her wealthy husband. While there she met & most seductive young ribbon-seller, who was a clerk in the Bon Marche. The gallant young Frenchman became a con- stant visitor at the Ferry hotel, where it subsequently turned out in the divorce case he had installed himeelf asan instruc- tor of the “Duke’s” wife in the French lunguage. 3 3 The scandal was first published in the newspapers the world over when “The Duke of Tacoma’’ became so jealous that he called upon the gendarmes to enforce the laws of the country and arrest Mrs. Ferry. To do this it was necessary to find the suspected couple together. Mr. Ferry He had the furnished the op&)onuni:y, clerk watched, and having located him he burst open the door leading to his wife’s ngilrtmam and gave her in charge of tie officers. But that is all ancient history. Mrs. Ferry, the divorcee, is now a boarding- house keeper at 1107 Bush street, a piece of property belonging to the Bell estate. | ‘When it was leased to her a room was re- served for young Frederick Bell, who has occupied it off and on eversince heand his mother had a falling out over a division of the estate. In the Ferry house are other boarders and lodgers, the greater number of whom have no place in this'story. But there is one young lady among several others to | whom Fred Bell paid assiduousattentions. | To her is due the fact that the young man had greatly mended his ways. His erst- while frequent breaks from a sober path occurred more seldom. It was Bell’s habit to go to ber for consolation during those periods following his debauches, and while nursing a sore head he learned to think more and more of his gentle nurse. Bat there was another Richmond in the field. He, too, thought u great deal of the young lady boarder. He was not so fortunaté as young Bell, insomuch that e lived in anotber neighborhood. He was a frequent caller on her, however, and at times the two young men burned Mrs. | Ferry’s zas very late, each. trying to out- | stay the other. : Bell conceived a visible dislike for his rival, who returned it with interest. He showed it especially when he was in his cups, for he, too, sometimes looked upon the wine when it was red. The other people in the Ferry house have been in momentary expectancy that some day there would be an inebrious clash, and the friends of Bell on the out- side are prone to belicve that it came on the night he was found unconscious, broken-limbed and bleeding on the floor to which be had fallen. At all events a private detective aigr:,’y is looking the matter up, and even if Fred- erick Bell never does recover conscious- ness enough to tell bow the. midnight tragedy occurred. surroundinz circum- stances and the testimony of the fair charmer may tell the tale. In the meantime the mystery keeps growing darker. Mrs. Bell, widow of Thomas Bell and the i | | | congregation, sufficient to give him en- couragement to purchase a building and transform it into a little church. The rev- erend gentleman expects before many years to build a more pretentious and com- modious temple, as he is & most earnest missionary in the Evangelical Lutheran fold. There are guite a number of Evangelical Lutheran churches in this City, but these mentioned are the only two where the Eng- lish language is spoken. —_— WAS NOT HIS WiDOW. The Long Suit of Henrietta Hey- denfeldt Ended Last Evening, She Was Hedenfeldt's Half-Sister and Entitled to No Part of His Estate. The Heydenfelt case, or that phase of it which bas for so long occupied the atten- tion of Judgé Coffey, came to an end last evening by the verdict of the jury in favor of the defendant. The verdict of the jury was rendered on twenty-one points, The principal one was that there had been no marriage between Henrietta Heydenfeldt, the plaintiff, and Solomon Heydenfeldt. The jury also de- cided that she was his half-sister. The action just decided was an applica- tion by Henrietta Heydenfeldtto have distributed to her a widow’s share of the estate of Solomon Heydenfeldt, deceased. She alleged that she had been married to him at Sacramento in secret, and that he had ordered her to keep the fact from every one. She was answered by the alle. gation that she never had been married to him, and, besides, she was his half- sister. The case has taken several weeks to try. The jury retired at 5 o’clock last evening and returned with a verdict at 8:40 on the first issue—that there was no marriage between the contestant, Henrietta Her- bert, and the deceased Solomon Heyden- feldt. As there were no findings on the other twenty-one issues, the Judge asked the jury to retire and return with findings on all the issues. In five minutes they returned with a verdict for the defendants on all the issues. This, in effect, decided that Heydenfeldt was married to Catherine Collins in 1864, who bore him four children, and that in 1887 he was married to Elizabeth Angeline Howard, who survived him, and who bore him five children. Also that Henrietta Herbert was Heydenfeldt’s half-sister and not his stepsister, and that she did not bear him any children. CHARGES OF FRAUD. | The Receiver of the S. S. Construction Company Makes Serlous Ac- cusations, John L. Haskell, receiver of the insoly- ent 8. 8. Construction Company, is suing to have C. C. Butier cancel some notes be holds against the corporation, and to de- liver up some bonds of the San Francisco | and San Mateo Company, by which they were supposed to be secured. He is also suing the California Safe De- sit and Trust Company to pay over to im the dividends dueon'the bonds from the sale of the road a few days ago, The notes Butler holds represent $200,- 000. This sum, the complaint states, was paid into the treasury by Butler as presi- dent of the concern, not individually. It is alleged that this was aone to defraud and injure the creditors of the copora- tion. The bonds were held originally by the S. 8. Construction Company, and the charge is made that Butler fraudulently assigned them to himself to secure his supposed debt.

Spreckels Is Discussed as a Local Party Triumph. i BOSS DOMINATION IS KILLED. Republicans Review the Convention With Satisfaction and Go to Bed Early. Republican politicians took up little room and made little noise downtown | yesterday and last evening. The political | calm contrasted strikingly with the hurly- | burly and the intense interest in pending | affairs of the preceding few days. ! The Republican leaders and the active | | D. Hovey, organist; 8. Creba Sr., H. C. R., and other officers of the High Court. Following were the officers chosen: R. | N. McLennan, past chief ranger; C. S. Baillie, chief ranger; Charles A.

After ibe ceremonies incident to the institution of the court the members sat down to a banquet already spread for them in an adjoining room. There were a number of invited guests E{mnm among them J. F. Eckardt of onolulu, delegate to the High Court, the session of which opens at Ukiah next | week.

The | Union League Club was nearly deserted | last evening. | The hotel corridors echoed little politi- | cal talk. At the various political head- | quarters there was just a little quiet and satisfied conversation, reviewing conven- | tion events and exchanging stories. | This quietude naturally followed the | settlement of all the pending party affairs— | the matters of policy, of contention, of | doing and being—that had been the sub- | jects of the hard labors, the exciting con- | tentions, the rivalries, the ambitions, the hopes, fears and prophecies of the preced- ing weeks. The State Convention 13 over. Now other pending affairs move into view. | They werg still somewhat distant and vague vesterday. They will take on shape and interest as the near-by dayvs and weeks go by. One thing that loomed up strongly yes- terday was the certainty that the grand victory, or rather the seriesof victories, achieved by Jonn D. Spreckels at Sacra- | mento insures to San Francisco a year of clean and honorable municipal Republi- can polities. Everywhere yesterday Republicans dis- cussed quietly the State Convention, re- viewing its chief events and results, and everywhere this glorious prospect of the party was clearly recognized. could tell the meaning of anythin back from Sacramento stronger than ever and that his leadership of the local party was made absolutely sure. 1t was recognized that he had come back with even more loyal friends than he had a week ago; that his clean record would give bim a still wider public conti- dence; that the ability, executive force, talent_for organizing, clearness of brain, cleanliness of motive and character, dis- osition to let the people ruie and the KJ)'ulty to the people and to the highest interests of the party which he has dis- played in the section of the campaign just ended would win for him added apprecia- tion, admiration and respect in the local party, which has so far followed his ad- vice and policy with nearly perfect unanimity. It was clearly seen that the victory of Mr. Spreckels at Sacramento means that the party wiil not, in this campaign, at least, be dominated, manipulated and traded by an unscrnpulous and corrupt Eoluicm boss or by a combination of osses. This is one of the results of the State Convention. It counld be seen, too, how slight and weak had been the selfish oppo- sition to the regular party organization. It could be perceived yesterday, as it was thus early seen, how completely this oppo- sition had gone to pieces. Even the recent kickers were, as a rule, taking their defeat with surprising good grace and cheerfalness, and showing a disposition to get in and make a united party in the interest of Republicanism. Such was the tenor of post-convention talk generally yesterday and last night. To say that most of the local Republicans who were interested in convention were quietly elated is to state the fact weakly. The exultation that immediately followed the convention had not subsided. Of course all the chief features of the con- vention were generally discussed. Every- where was satisfaction. The unexpected harmony of the convention was com- mented on. The smallness of the number and size of the sore spots was a source of both surprise and gratification. There was generally exhibited a feeling that its energy, spirit and confidence would steadily increase until the plainly certain victory is won. THIRTY NEW FORESTERS.

The report gave rise to much dis- cussion, but after the wordy chaff had been winnowed away the sense of the meeting seemed to be that expressed by C. D. Salfield. Said Saifield: “These promises will amount to nothing nunless we get the proper appropriation. | Let us get into politics up to the handle- [ bars of our machines by July and elect | men that will make the npproprialion.; Then no excuse for failing to light the park can be given.” | On the subject of repaving Market street | speeches were made to show that the | teamsters were opposed to the movement, | because they erroneously supposed that | the cyclists wished bitumin to be used, | which would provent their hauling as heavy loads as at present. Said Thomas Vatney : | “I think the geamsters misunderstand the proposition.” What we want is some- thing that will give common satisfaction. | We don’t want something for cyclists | alone; we want something that will im- prove the street for the common good.” The committee on a mass-meeting re- | ported that they wished more time, and | would probably arrange for such a gather- | ing in June, when the Camera Club and | the engineer of the Merchants’ Asso- | ciation would have prepared stereopticon | views of the pavements 1n different cities, | in order to add interest, Judge Kerrigan of the League of Ameri- | can Wheelmen, said they were ready to | | render any assistance that lay in their | ‘power, but were tired of theorizing and wanted something tangible. Mr. Miller of the Highway Improvement | Club explained a plan for paving between | the cartracks with a material for cyclists and other parts with something better | suited to heavy vehicles. Then, he said, a_law could be passed preventing | teams from driying on the cyclists’ road, | except at necessary crossings. His speech | was applauded, but many members thought the scheme impracticable. A communication from the Point Lobos Improvement Club, inviting other clubs | | to send five delegates to meet May 6 ana | =5 form a federation for the purpose of re- | ducing carfares, was read by the secre. | tary.

The Defection in the Salvation Army Has Gone as Far as It Will. S0 SAYS THE COMMANDER. Interesting Talk of the Consul With the Auxiliaries—Officers Leave To.Day. The Commander and Consul Booth- Tucker had a busy day yesterday. With | the commander goes the headquarters of the Salvation Army in the United States | and that means an immense quantity of | business. The early morning was de- | voted to correspondence. A little before noon the commander started on a tour of | the Salvation Army institutions on this | side of the bay—Captain Woods’ Lifeboat, | the Children’s Home and the Women’s Shelter. At 3 o’clock they met with the Auxil- iaries at Metropolitan Temple. The con- sul, being a very sick womuan, remained | in bed until just before Lhis meeting. There she made the address of all the ad- dresses of her visit. Her audience was not as large as those ot the evening meetings, but it was won completely. She spoke of the desertion of Ballington Booth from thearmy. Firstasa family matter that was the greatest sor- row the family bad suffered; thatit was telling upon her father greatly in the mat- ter of his health despite his efforts to over- come it by hard work. But the mure serious effect of the defection of the former commander of the army was the blow it struck at the army itself. 1t would not be strange if the American troops should look with suspicion and dis- trust upon the new commanders, or that many of them should have followed the former commander in his new movement as they had followed him in the old. The wonder was that the army had proved so true; that they had shown their devotion and loyalty to the army itself and its prin- ciples; had waited patiently in darkness | until some explanation could be given or word came from the general. . The last words her father said to her as he kissed her through the carriage window as the train was moving out of the station |in London were, “Turn the eyes of the army from the controversy and toward the throne of God.”” S8he had found the great mass of the army steadfastly looking to the throne and gaining strength there. She had received a letter from the gen- eral, she said, that very morning, in which m America must certainly work for good ultimately. “It is not given to every nation to be put to such a test of its fealty to the work. America had been having a very easy time of 1t compared with those countries where the soldiers were persecuted, put in jail, their goods confiscated. The Lord seemed to have been at the trouble.to set the army in America, by this great trial, as a city on a hill that could not be hid. The world would look now to see what stuff the Salvation Army of this country was made of. We are going to give them something to look at,” she said, *‘Let them look now; we invite it; it i1 do them good. We are to have greater victories than ever. The work has really only begun here. If you would only see the letters thrust upon us from eager workers, saying, ‘If there be room, if any are fall- ing out, give me a place; I want to be an officer in the Army,’ you would be sure that a time of rapid progress is here. For this work, to take partinit, I will gladly leave home and country for the rescuing of the siuful, the weak, the needy.” Commander Booth-Tucker in an address said that the army bad really lost but very few officers and soldiers by the defectiou, and that the bomb had burst and practi- cally all the damage that it could do had been done. A big meeting was held at Metropolitan Temple Jast evening, and a number of converts went forward to the penitent’s bench, This morning the consul and com- mander will hofii a meeting with the offi- cers of the army exclusively, and this evening they start for Portland and Ta- coma. - e Mr. Wildmun’s Lecture. Rounseyilie Wildman, editor of the Overland Monthly, will give a lecture this evening in the auditorium of the Young Men’s Christian Association, corner of Ellis and Mason streets, for the benefit of the associas fund.
