THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1896. REPUBLICANS OF NEVADA CONVENE, Send Unpledged Delegates ! to the Convention at ‘ St. Louis. DECLARE FOR SILVER., Sixteen-to-One Clause Inserted in | the Platform After an Argument. ! PROTECTION IS DEMANDED.i Resolutions Favor the Displacement of the State Senators and Repre- sentatives. VIRGINIA CITY, NEv., May 9.—Nevada Republicans held their State convention, to elect six delegates and six alternates to | the Republican National Convention, at | National Guard Hall this afternoon. They sent an unpledaged delegation to St. Louis, and after a heated sortie included a “16 to 1” clause in the financial plank ot the reso- lutions. The convention was called to order by | Hon. Trenmor Coftin, chairman of the | Republican State Central Committee. Ex- Governor R. K. Colcord was chosen tem- porary chairman and E. D. Vanderlieth | temporary secretary. They were after- ward made permanent officers. Mr. Col- cord, on assuming the chair, appointed the usual committees. After a short adjournment, the majority report of the platform committee was read and a motion to adopt it made. The minority report was offered as a substitute by Delegate Colburn of Virginia. The platform contained in the majority report congratulated the people of the State and country on the prospect of a Re- public Presidential victory; favored the restoration of currency as it stood prior to 1873; recommended the displacement of Nevada's Senators and Representatives as non-residents; favored tariff protection and protection for American labor; op- posed interference with non-sectarian schools and the giving of to sectarian schools; favored National leg- islation to control pauper immigration and immigration of people holding views opposed to the American form of govern- ment: favored a change in the naturaliza- tion laws, requiring as a qualification of citizenship seven years’ residence on the part of foreigners and ability to read the constitution of the United States; favored an unpledged delegation to the National Republican Convention. The minority report differed from the majority in that it contained the clause, :Silver at the ratio of 16 to 1,” which the currency plank in the majority report did not. The minority report was confined to the currency plank. The matter was finally settled bv an amendment to the currency plank, to the effect that the convention ‘“‘favored free and unlimited coinage of silver at theratio of 16 to 1.”” The report was then adopted. The following delegates were elected: J. B. Overton, Storey County; A. C. Cleve- land, White Pine County; G. F. Turretin, Elko County; Enoch Strother, Storey; C. H. Sproule, Elko, and W. D. Phillips, ‘Washoe. s BANNOCK COUNIY REPUBLICANS. AUl Other Issues Subordinate to the Silver Issue.

Allegiance to the principles of bimetal- lism, protection and reciprocity was sworn, and the delegates were instructed to support the position taken by the silver Senators—Duboise, Cater, Cannon, Teller and Mantle—and with that end in view to support Fred T. Dubois, Edgar Wilson and Willis Sweet as three dele- gates from Idaho to the National Conven- tion at 8i. Louis, and to vote for no man who was not in sympathy with the posi- tion taken by these five Senators on the questions of silver and protection. e S Ukiah Fotes for Bonds.

LOB ANGELES, CaL., May 9.—The ex- ecutive committee and council of thirty of La Fiesta held their final meeting and love feast to-night over the closing of accounts of the greatest fiesta ever held in Califor- nia with a casb balance on the right side of the ledger: ; Everybody in authority was congratu- lated and had beautifully worded resolu- tions thrust upon them.

The fiesta executive committee of this city has long been debating what beautiful gift it could make the Queen of the late fiesta as token of their appreciation and admiration. A loving cup has been de- cided upon, and a beautiful one has been ordered and will be suitably inscribed and given to Queen Mildred at an early date. . ROSENBLATT'S PLANS.

Ever since 1891 the Grand Army Corps at Visalia have been trying to have a camp of Sons of Veterans organized here. Quite recently they have had their efforts crowned with success and they are now rejoicing. W. Scott Hayes was instrumental in the finai organization of this new secret sociaty. Several weeks ago he sent out by mail about twenty-five invitations to the sons of veterans of the Civil War to meet at Native Sons’ Hall on the 25th of April to organize a camp. Quite a number re- sponded, and May 2 was set for the even- ing on which to organize. With the aid of the Grand Army men the camp was orzanized with a member- ship of twenty-two.

At this juncture the hall was invaded by the ladies of the Relief Corps and a most pleasant hour of music and refresh- ments was spent. Mrs. Robbins presided atthe organ and sang several patriotic songs, in which the veterans present joined with much gusto in memory of the days and experiences of the great war. All partook of coffee, cake, sandwiches, etc., before adjournment. Following are the names of the charter members: Edward Plerson Arthur Pfansteil W. H. Edwards G.F. Hayes Walter Shippey . Edwards A.

BIRDS AND BLUEROCKS. All the Central Counties of the Valley to Contest in the Big Tournament. IN SIX INTERESTING EVENTS. First Annual Tournament of the Fresno Sportsmen’s Club—The Crack Shots. MADERA, Car.,, May 9.—A great deal of interest is taken here in the big bird and bluerock shooting event at Fresno to-morrow morning. Several counties will be represented by teams, in fact all the central valley counties are expected to send their best gun shots. It is known that at least the Sanger, Visalia, Hanford, Fresno and Madera clubs will be well rep- resented at the tournament of the Fresno Sportsman’s Club. This is the firstannual event given by the Fresno ciub, but from the evidences of success already shown, it is pretty certain not to be the last annual event. The tournament will begin at 9 o’clock in the morning at the Fair Grounds in Fresno, and there are six features on the programme. The first three of these are with live birds, and the last three with bluerocks, and there are substantial puses for the first, secoud and third win- ner of each shoot. None but members of gun clubsare eligi- bie to shoot. and the rules of the American Shooting Association are to govern. H. | V. Armitage, A, F. Naber, A. Riley are the members of the tournament commit- tee for the Fresno Sportsman’s Club. Ouly eight members of the Madera Club wili take part in the big inter-county shoot, but it is quite likely that a very large per- centage of all the members will attend the tournament as guests of the Fresno Club. Madera’s Club is composed entirely of the well-known business and professional wen of this citv. D. B. Horace, president of the club, is one of the largest vineyardists and ranch- ers in this part of the country. J. B. Meloche, the secretary and treas- urer, is the Public Administrator of Madera County, and a real estate and insurance broker. The other members of the club are: A. H. Woolery, a well-known citizen, and the best shot in the county. Francis A. Fee, ex-District Attorney. John J. Roberts, son of the president of the Commercial Bank of Madera.

LUBIK SEEAS h DNVORCE Papers Filed in Which His Wife Is Charged With Adultery. Ex.-Mayor Steinman Named as Co- respondent—The Complainant a Well-Known Merchant. David Lubin of the firm of Weinstock & Lubin of Sacramento has filed papers for divorce from his wife, on the ground of adultery, naming ex-Mayor Ben U. Stein- man of Sacramento as co-respondent. Mrs. Lubin has left the City for the East. 1. is stated that Mrs. Lubin’s objection- able conduct has been going on for three vears past, though it was only recently that her husband secured sufficient defi- nite evidence to warrant the institution of the suit. There are flve children, and it is said to be Mr. Lubin’s purpose to take them East this evening, so as to zet them out of the way before the matter becomes public through publication in the newspapers. It is further reported that recently Mr. Lubin placed detectives on the track of his wife, and that the evidence thus pro- cured brought about the immediate filing of the papers in the suit. These have been in the County Clerk’s custody some time, but no one has been permitted to have access to them. About eight months ago Mrs, Lyons, the mother of Mrs. Lubin, died and left to each of her children quite a sum of money.

Mr. Lubin is the autbor of the proposi- tion fo have the Government pay a bounty on wheat exported to foreign coun- tries. MISS BELIVATT WEDS Sequel to the Sensational Love Story of the Blind Italian Singer. They Met Two Months Ago in Hong- kong and He Fell in Love at First Sight. The sequel to a romantic story of love at first sight took place yesterday when Estelle Belinfante, the blind contralto, was married to R. Edminster, the well- known agent, who has arranged for her concerts since her arrival here from the Orient. Of course the expression, *‘Love at first sight,”” must be used advisedly in the young lady’s case, because she is slowly losing even the sense of aistinguishing day from night, and could not tell, except from the remarks of other people, what a dashing, good-looking young fellow Ed- minster was. It was the agent who fell in love at first sight and made love so persistently that his ardor was rewarded yesterday by the marriage above mentioned. The couple met about two months ago in Hongkong. Edminster, who has been for five years with the well-known im- pressario, Major Pond, had gone to the Orient as agent for Ovide Musin, and was avout to embark for home again when he met the handsome young contralto, who had just come from a successful concert tour in Japan and Siberia. Miss Belinfante's lady companion, who had accompanied her from Europe, had contracted malaria in Hongkong and had been forced to return to Italy. The singer was alone and very helpless, in spite of ner independent spirit, when she and Edminister met on the eve of embarkation for S8an Francisco. The agent fell in love on the spur of the moment, and he was_filled with satisfac tion to learn that Miss Belinfantc was to sail in the steamer in which he had ar- ranged to travel. There were a thousand ways in which he_ could render himself useful and acceptable to her on the voy- age, and he did not neglect one of them.’ He carried her deck chair, helped her up and down the stairways, wrote her let- ters, read her correspondence and in fact made himsalf almost indispensable to the blind singe: 3 Since arriving in San Francisco the ar- dent swain has not slackened any of his attentions, and though Miss Belinfante was at first inclined to look upon him with a merely platonic regard the mar- riage yesterday proves that he has at last succeeded in persuading her to change her opinion. The fact is that the young lady has been exceptionally sought after, and Edminster knew that his only chance lay in captur- ing his lady-iove wiiile she was under the spell of all the good offices and little attentions he has so patiently performed for ner. The bride and_groom leave to-day for Chicago, where Mrs. Edminster wiil re- sume her profession of concert-giving. e Blazing Brandy.

VICTORY OF THE WIDOW A Jury Declares That She Was Defrauded by Her Late Husband. Robbed by a Clause Inserted in a Conditional Deed Before His Death. SANTA BARBARA, CaL, May 9.—For many months past an interesting case, in- volving large interests and important legal issues, has been before the Superior Court of this county, furnishing the text for five separate suits. In 1892 Joseph A. Kenney, a wealthy resident of this city, diea, leaving property valued at $65,000. W. S. Parks and J. C. Kenney were ap- pointed executors of the estate, and when the widow came to receive her portion she was shown a deed executed by her husband before his death and bequeathing his entire estate to some thirty nephews and nieces, leaving her only a life interest. To her surprise she was confronted by her own signature affixed to this document. Mrs. Kenney remembered signinga deed conveying to her husbana all of her prop- erty in case her demise occurred during his lifetime. This document, which was read to her at the time she affixed hersignature, was a part of a mutual agreement, her husband at the time making a similar con- veyance to her conditional upon her sur- vival of his death. She absolutely denied having ever heard or szen the clause limiting her interest in the estate to a life lease and claimed that this portion of the document she signed was not read to her, nor would she have signea it had she known it was em- bodied in the conveyance. The two deeds were executed June 1, 1893. They were drawn by W. 8. Bouton, and by him read to Mrs. Kenney. The is- sues involved in the present case were submitted to a jury and were decided as follows: First—Was the clause limiting the estate granted to Mrs. Sarah J. Kenney to a life es- tate inserted therein with the knowledge of Jo- seph A. Kenney? Answer—Yes. Second—Was the said clause inserted in the deed fraudulently as against Mrs. Kenney? Answer—Yes. Third—Did Joseph A. Kenney know or sus- pect that Mrs. Kenney believed ‘the said deed to bean absolute deed in fee simple? Answer—Yes. These decisions end the first chapter in what bids fair to become a celebrated case. They carry a grewsome suggestion, inas- much as they directly charge the dead man with a felonious act. All of the es- tate involved was really Mrs. Kenney's separate property, being purchased with $65,000 belonging to her at the time of her marnage. An Indiana farm which was her husband’s separate property was deeded by him to his own heirs with her full consent and knowlede: A New York florist has just paid $10,000 for the sole rights to the Michigan carna- tion known as “Murella.” It is a very large flower of a deep-red color. Just in the Nick of Time Another Week and William Hinchet of Pasadena, Cal., Would Have Been in a Serious Difficulty. THE DOCTORS ALL DISAGREED. A Singular Recovery From a Horrible Stomach Trouble Which Surpasses ; Many Fiction Stori It Is Vouched for by Reputable Feople. Every one knows that Pasadena is one of the pleasantly situated resorts of Cali- fornia. To the Eastern man it is a dream. Midwinter sees fruits and flowers, luscious and sweet-scented, in the open air. It is his elysium. Nevertheless, in this veri- table garden-spot one can have serious trouble. William Hinchet comes from the city of Chicago—big wind, lake and bustle.” He knew no one in Pasadena. He came in search of health, and for a time he prospered as well as any one could wish for.. About two weeks ago he was seized with colic and cramps and had to call in a physician immediately. A prescription was given to bim, and it was thought that he vould‘rnll through in the night and be fresh and easy by morning. Mcrning came, but Hinchet suffered still. This began to look serious, It was necessary to relieve the bowels, as 1t was discovered that Hinchet had been suffering from Chronie Constipation. Temporary relief was afforded him, but he grew worse. The doctors disagreed. It was on the advice of an old woman that Hinchet began to use a medicine called JOY'S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA. He took repeated doses of this herb rem- edy in the night, and the next morning his bowels began to move freely. Since this time Mr. Hinchet has been using JOY'S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA, and now he is well and doing well. He praised the HOME REMEDY, JOV'S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILLA. Though the doctors remained puzzied. W!fY JOY'S VEGETABLE SARSA- PARILLA IS SO EFFECTUAL IN CON- STITUTIONAL TREATMENT. 1In it you have the active principles of Vegeta- ble drugs that act directly and mildly on the organs of digestion, the liver, kidneys and bowels. It contains no mercury, iodide of potash, to ruin the membranes of the stomach and bowels and to cause your bones to ache. Beware of Iodide of Potassium. No good Sarsaparilla contains Iodide of Potassium. NEW TO-DAY. (P UL VN PO UPPSUUSPPP PSP b REVOLUTIONIZED Has Been the Practice of Medicine and Surgery in San Francisco by Dr. Sweany. THE STORY OF HIS SUCCESS. SIGNED AWAY THE PROPERTY.|The Great Specialist Has Made Life Anew to Thousands and Tens of Thousands Who Had Been Given Up by Other Physi= cians—His Specialties and Mode of Treatment. 2 ) < DOCTOR 737 Market Street, SWEANY, San Franeisco, Cal. By his skill as a speciallst Dr. Sweany has completely revolutionized the practice of medicine and Surgery In San Francisco. Standing to-day as he does far in advance of any speclalist or medical institution In the country, his wonderful success and skill Is the out- growth of several conditions by which alone what he has done in San Francisco could be accomplished. First, the qualifications with which nature has endowed him, as evi- denced by his keen perception into the mysteries of all diseases with which those who apply to him are affiicted. He is thus enabled to clearly distinguish the exact character of the complaint and to concelve the proper and most effective kind of treatment for its entire cure. Second, he Is wholly devoted to his profession, having no other desire for achlevement than to make still grander the complete success which he has thus far attalned.
