THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1896. FORTUNE FOR A PORTLAND MAN, Elevated to the Nobility by the Mikado of Japan. ENJOYS ROYAL FAVOR. Will Be Given One of the Finest European Hotels in the Orient. HE WAS A SAN FRANCISCAN. Won the Gratitude of the Japanese by Generosity During the Late War. PORTLAND, Or., May 11.—William P. Hardgrave of Seattle, who has just re- turned from Japan, is in tbis city. He brings good tidings of Louis Eppinger, formerly a leading caterer of Portland and now perhaps the foremost American in Yokohama. Hardgrave says that Eppin- ger has for some years been mine host of the principal European hotel in Yoko- hama. He made the master stroke of his life during the recent Chinese-Japanese war. During that period he manifested more patriotism for Japan and practical enthusiasm over the Japanese successes than any other foreigner, attracting the attention of the Government. He con- tributed liberally to the Japanese sanitary fund, which ‘other Americans overlooked as being no coccern of theirs. Of this the Nikado became eognizant, and he has recently rewarded Eppinger's generosity. “Mr. Eppinger does not refer to the im- perial favor he is enjoying,” said Hard- grave, “but from one of his intimate friends I learnea that three months ago be was commanded by the Mikado to appear before him. Mr. Eppinger was escorted to the palace, as if he were a high dignitary, and was received without the customary formality attendant upon an sudience granted foreiguers. The Mikado, 80 it is said, expressed his appreciation of Mr. Eppinger’s loyalty to the Japanese cause, and before dismissing him from his sugust presence decorated him with an order which bestows a certain rank of nobility upon the recipient. 1 also heard that it was his Imperial Highness’ purpose to build, out of his private purse, for Mr. Eppinger, one of the finest European hotels in the Orient, which shall be the lucky fellow’s own, tax and rent free for life. At his death the property reverts to the crown.” During the great stock-booming period in San Francisco Eppinger kept a small saloon on Halleck street, which was the favorite for California-street stockbrokers. For several years his receipts are alleged to have averaged $1000 a day. But he was not satisfied and engaged in stock gam- bling, whick aiso made bim rich for a time, but in the end he fell by the way- side, like many others, and he came to Portland in 18 SELMA BURGLAR KILLED Wiiliam Burke Shot to Death by Oificer Collins Near Merced. He Had Escaped From a Deputy Con- stable by Jumping From a Train. MERCED, Car, May 1L—William Burke, who escaped from a Selma officer last Monday night at Livingston, was shot and killed this evening near Merced by Deputy Corstable Collins. Burke was wanted at Selma for burg- lary, and was arrested in San Franeisco by Detective Harper. Deputy Constable Col- lins went to the City to bring back the pris- oner. On his return the officer went to sleep, and Burke jumped from the train and escaped, with his hands still man- acled. : Burke was seen this afternoon leaving Merced walking towards Bear Creek. He was followed by Officers Collins and Dowst. When they got within bailing distance they commanded him to siop. Burke started to run. Collins fired two shots in the air to frighten Burke, but the latter drew a pistol and fired at tbe officer. Then Collins fired directly at him, a bullet taking effect in the fugitive’s side, cansing instant death. . The officers returned to town and re- ported the affair to the Coroner, who went out and tuok charge of the body. Burke was about 38 years of age. RIVERSIDE TRIAL ENDS, Jurors Disagree as to the Guilt of the Alleged Slayers of Mrs. Platt. Three Indians Charged With the Murder Will Be Retried Serarately. RIVERSIDE, Car., May 11.—The first trial of the three Indians—Francisco Gua- vish, Francisco Rodriguez and Antonio Trujillo—chargd with the murder of Mrs. Mary J. Platt, the Pichango Indian reser- vation school-teacher, on September 2u, 1894, came to an end this morning, when Judge Noyes discharged the jury after its failure to agree. The case was submitted on Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock, the conclusion of a ten-day trial which was fairly and ably conducted on both sides. The jury came into the courtroom Saturday evening at 8 o'clock and reported a disagreement, standing seven to five. It was sent back for furtber consideration, bui came in again on Saturday at 10:30 A. M., reported a disagreement and asked for further in- structions, which were given by the court. This morning when discharged the jury stood eight to four in favor of the convic- tion of the three Indians. A new trial was ordered and the defendants will be tried separately—Guavish on June 5, Tru- jillo on gune 15 and Rodriguez on June 22, On the night of September 20, 1894, the “school house on tbe Pichango Indian reservation was burned and the body of Mrs. Mary J. Platt, the reservation teacher, was incinerated in the fire. Mrs. Platt had living_rooms in connection with the school building. Bhe was alone, except for a niece, a little girl 9 vears old. The latter was awakened about 11 o'clock at night_by fire on her bed. She called to Mrs. Platt, but got no response, and as she went out through the kitchen she saw a pile of wood burning there and smelled kerosene oil. Antonio Molido was arrested last autumn on a charge of complicity in the crime and later made a confession implicating the three whose trial has just ended. Molido's story was that the four went to Mrs. Platt’s house, rapped at the door, ana when she responded clutched her by the throat, dragged her out of the house toa lonely spot some yards distant, and killed her to cover a more diabolical crime. They took her lifeless body back to the house, built a large pile of oak stovewood around it and set fire to the wood. Upon Moiido’s confession he was sen- tenced to life imprisonment in San Quen- tin. N A CONFLAGRATION AT The Entire Village Narrowly Escapes De- struction—Hard Work Saves the Ocean House. APTOS, CaL., May 12.—Fire that started in the grocery-store of D. M. Rice & Son, in this town, shortly after midnight this morning destroyed a blacksmith-shop and Hihm’s saloon. The losson the latter two buildings was about $700 and on Rice & Son’s store and stock $2200. The fire burned so rapidly that the Ocean House narrowly escaped destruc- tion; in fact, but for the hard labor of every man and boy in Aptos the entire village would have been swept away. T Booth-Tuckers Banqueted at Seattle. SEATTLE, WasH., May 11. — Seattle gave Commander and Consul Booth- Tucker a royal welcome on their arrival this morning and a public reception to- night 1n Ranke’s HalE at which 3000 per- sons were present.

HOW BISHOP SEGERS DIED Frank Fuller Confesses to the Killing of the Prelate Years Ago. » APTOS. Says They Quarreled Over a Klootch- man and He Took His Enemy’s Life. TACOMA, Wasn., May 1L.—Frank Ful- ler, sentenced at Sitka on December 2, 1887, to ten years at the Federal peniten- tiary on McNeils Island, near here, for tha murder of Bishop Begers, a Roman Catho- lic ecclesiastic of Nisqually, was released to-day, his term, with the customary de- ductions for good behavior, having ended. For the first time since his arrest he to-day broke his long silence and spoke of the crime, doing so guardedly. *The Bishop,” said he, “‘was not the | man his friends believed him to be. We | had trouble over an Indian woman—a Klootchman. It came to a situation where it was either his life or mine. Mine was as sweet to me as his fo him. 1 came back | to the settlement; his body was found in the camp. That is all I will say.” The murder of Bishop Segers caused a great sensation in 1887. The prelate was one of the most distingnished men in the church on this coast. The diocese of Nisqually embraces the western part of | this State. Bishop Segers left here with Fuller as his private secretary and com- panion to visit the missions in Alaska. Farup in the Yukon country they were camped one night. The Indian guides ‘were temporarily absent. When they re- turned they found the Bishop murdered and Fuller gone. Fuller stopped at Juneau and did not attempt to leave the Territory. He was arrested, tried at Sitka and convicted of manslaughter. He refused to testify in his own_behalf or to explain. The de- fense tried to show that Indians com- mitted the murder. A strong sentiment in favor of Fuller existed in the Territory among certain whites, but others de- manded a relentless prosecution. Many believed him innocent. For the past seven years Fuller has been trusty at the penitentiary and won the re- spect and regard of every official there. e maintained absolute silence as to the murder and rarely spoke on the subject. He was termed *“The Silent Man’’ and ‘was a starconvict. He acted as a house ser- vant, and while he had many cbances to escape he held aloof. Faller is tall and dignified of bearing, wears a Vandyke beard, has mild blue eyes, and even in convict stripes was a striking figure. He says he will remain in Tacoma and live down the blot on his character. AR ITWO FIRES AT ONE TIME. Property Falued at $400,000 Consumed at Paterson, N. J. PATERSON, N. J., May 11.—The two upper stories of the malthouse of the Hin- cliffe Malting and Brewing Company were aestroyed by fire to-night.

A resolution protesting against the en- actment of the funding bill and requesting the representatives of California at Wash- ington to work against the bill was passed this afternoon by an overwhelming vote. Resolutions on county road control were offered by R. H. Pringle, B. K. Knight ana others. They are the same as recently adopted by a convention in Santa Cruz. Among the principal recommendations are that laws be enacted so that all roads be built and maintained by a direct tax, including all county and trunk lines; that the roads in any district be built and maintained by taxes raised in that dis- trict. 7They also recommend creating the office of road expert, who shall pass upon the construction of roads in the county in which he shall be appointed, and have general supervision of the highways un- der the direction of the Board of Super- visors, his term of office to be until re- moved. Among the duties devolving on him wonld be to survey the roads, to see that work is done practically and economically and to direct a road foreman in each dis- trict whose duties should be in the same line. In the draft of the proposed bill it is recommended that all funds nowin the hands of Boards of Supervisors and under their control be left so. The tax in any district is to be raised by the board when two-thirds of the taxpayers have peti. tioned for it, and when aiter so petitioned the board deems it advisable. Itisrecom- mended that property-owners be com- pelled to keep down weeds on the fence line and in the ditches along the roads, when once the Boards of Supervisors have cut them down. If the law should be adopted property-owners will also have to move their fences on either side ‘an equal distance from the middle of the accus- tomed wagon track, if the fence lines are not well defined, and a clause is tacked on making it unlawful to use wagon-tires of less than certain width., These resolutions, with one favoring ing Government ownership of the Nica- ragua canal, were referred to the commit- tee on resolutions. The coavention will be in session to- morrow, and on Wednesday the delegates will be taken for a drive over the roads of the county. it SN BOOTH'S VOLUNTEERS. Important Acquisitions to the Post at San Jose. SAN JOSE, CAL, May 11.—The number of followers of Ballington Booth in this city is constantly growing and several im- portant accessions to the ranks of the local post of the American Volunteers have recently been received. The latest addi- tion to their strength is Mrs. Lizzie Rief, jormerly a well-known sergeant in, the Salvation Army and one of its best workers. Mrs. Rief is one of the oldest eoldiers on the coast, having enlisted in the army in San Jose years ago. - Shortly sfterward she became a trusted officer in its ranks and has had charge of a number of the most important places on the coast. 8he retired from active field service a few ears ago and has since been one of the {nithml standbys of the local corps. Since the trouble she, in common with the ma- jority of the corps, has been undecided as 1o the proper course to pursue until now. Sergeant John Philiips, another old soldier and a faithful local officer in the army, has also exrmsed himself very avorably for the volunteers, and it is ex- pected will soon enlist under the volun- teer standard. Captain James Smith, the new leader, will take charge this week, at which time a grand rally will be held. The post has been made the recipient of a fine American flag, by & number of the citizens, and it will be formally presented on the occasion of the new captain’s ap- pearance. The local workers are now in corres- pondence with fourteen places where posts are to be organized as oon as Ballin Booth comes to the coast. Four of the leading field officers of the old army have also expressed themselves in favor of the movement, and will enlist as soon as the commander formally organizes this State, ana others are contemplating the same step. et BANDIT MILLER SENTENCED. Twelve Years of His Life to Be Spent at Folsom Prison. SAN JOSE, Can, May 11.—George Miller, the highwayman who escaped from Officer Monroe on February 20 and exchanged a fusilade of shots with a haif dozen officers at First and Santa Clara streets, in this city, was this morning sen- tenced to twelve years’ imprisonment at Folsom by Judge Lorigan for assauniting Monroe with intent to murder. Miller held up Charles Berryman on the Los Gatos road on February 20 and re- lievea nim of a gold watch and some money. Later in the evening he was ar- rested by Constable Haley on suspicion of being the robber. At the corner of First and Santa Clara streets Haley turned Miller over to Monroe, while he went in search of Berryman to identify the man, As soon as Haley had taken a few steps Miller broke away from Mouroe and fired two shots at him, one bullet going through Monroe’s coat-sieeve. The highwayman then started down the street, and a run- ning fight ensued, but Miller escaped in the darkness. A month later he was ar- rested at Bakersfield. The charge of rob- bery was never pressed, as the identifica- tion was not complete. Miller is an ex-convict, and pleaded guilty to a prior conviction. Zod e PROSPEROUS HERMANN SONS.

Three Lads Arraigned for Setting Fire to a House. SAN JOSE, Car, May 11.—Three youthful firebugs were arraigned before Justice Gass tlis afternoon on a charge of arson. They were Gussie Brechtel, aged 8 years, and Johnnie and Bertie Buliivln. aged 12 and 7 respectively. After receiv- ing & good lecture, the elder two boys were locked up for a few hours to frighten them. About three weeks ago the boys burned a deserted house on the Cottle ranch on ;1_;30 Monterey road, causing a loss of about PARISH AGA!NST PASTOR. A Noted Boston Minister Who Refuses Either to Resign or Submit to a Reduction of Salary. BOSTON, Mass,, May 11.—There a lively contest on at the famous old “Brim- stone corner’’ between the parish and pastor, the like of which probably has neve: been seen before in the noted Park- street Congregational Church. The soci- ety wants the Rev. Isaac J. Lansing to resign his pastorate, but he refuses. Dr. Lansing is the man who achieved National notoriety not long ago by pub- licly charging that President Cleveland drank too much. He also publicly de- nounced Governor Greenhalge. His salary has been reduced to$2000 For three years. he has been getting $7000 a year. This is the largest salary paid in Boston. There is a deficit of $4500 in the chuarch finances this year. A stormy meeting was held last week, but the facts did not get out until yester- day. When a motion for the pastor's resignation was introduced Lansing imme- diately declared with great vehemence his great indignation that such a motion was presented in such a way. He declared that it would have no weight or effect with him, and that he should retuse absolutely to resign or submit to a reduction of sal- ary, no matter what action was taken at that time relative to the motion. Then he left the room in great anger. After he had gone a vote was taken de- manding his resignation. It is understood Lansing has taken legal advice, and that he maintains that the only way to force him out is by a council. In order to ob- tain this council the society, church and pastor must unite m a call. If the pastor refuses to do this the council cannot be convened. In other words, the claim is that he can remain as long as he chooses. e e A PUZZLING INQUIRY, What Will Uncle Sam Charge for Dock- ing an English Warship? NEW YORK, N. Y., May 11.—A Times special from Washington says: 1t is un- derstood that a British warship will he docked at the Puget Sound drydock. Some inguiry has come from Canadian officials regarding the charge for docking an Eng- lish ship. Such a request from the Brit- ish Government is a novelty to the Navy Department. That Government is so welil supplied with docking facilities that it rarely has to depend upon the courtesy of other nations for such service. The United States frequently asks for the privilege of docking ships ‘at foreign docks. The charge usually made for docking a_warship is sufficient to cover the cost of mnmngthe pumping plantand the necessary incidental expense of filling and emptying and refilling the dock. In the case of a merchant ship the regular charge for dockins is made by the Govern- ment owning the dock. In the case of the Puget Sound struc- ture there may be some delay in docking a foreign ship as the dock does not yet belong to the Government. It is still the property of the contractors and their per- mission must be obtained before the dock can be used. TN The Greater New York Bill Signed. ALBANY, N. Y., May 11.—Governor a(lfi:wn has signed the greater New York MUST STAND THE ISSUE, The Supréme Court Refuses a Rehearing in the Case of Theodore F. Brown. Traffic Managers Who Violate the Interstate Laws To Be Held Responsible. WASHINGTON, D.C., May 11.—The Supreme Court to-day refused a rehearing in the case of Theodore F. Brown, general auditor of the Allegheny Railroad at Pitts- burg. Pa., who is charged with having granted rebates to the Union Coal Com- pany. The court will now 1ssnea man- date, and its opinion handed down a few weeks ago will stand. This isa cause celebre in railroad circles, and is of inter- est to railroad traffic people everywhere in the country. Brown was charged with having in his official capacity specially fa- vored the Union Coal Company, but when called upon by the Interstate Commerce Commission to testify as to the facts he refused to do so. He was sent to jail for his refusal, but was subsequently released on a writ of habeay corpus. The case was taken to the United States Supreme Court, which af- firmed the decision of the lower court ordering Brown to testify asto the facts. It will be seen that railroaa traffic officials charged with violating the provisions of theginterstate law can no longer hope to screen themselves behind the plea that their testimony might incriminate them, but that they will have to testify, failing to do which they will becommitted to jail, just as General Auditor Brown has feared. i gt BERING SEA TREATY. Ratifications About to Be Formally Ex- changed With Great Britain. WABHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—It is understood that Embassador Bayard and the representative of the Foreign Office will formally exchange ratifications in London to-day or to-morrcw of the Bering Sea sealing claims arbitration treaty, which was amended by the Senate April 15. Promptly following this formality it is expected that the President will appoint the American arbitrator and that a Cana- dian will be appointed to represent Great Britain. Under the terms of the treaty the two arbitrators will meet as soon as the cases are ready for consideration at Victoria, B. C., to determine damages accruing to Canadian sealing vessels in the Bering Sea prior to the Paris tribunal. Under the provisions of this new con- vention the two arbitrators will take testi- mony at San Francisco if the cases cannot all be completed at Victoria and they will then report their findings to their respec- tive Governments. Where their recom- mendations agree the claims will be promptly settled, but if any disagreements occur such cases will be delivered to the President of the Swiss republic, who has consented to decide disputed points. SRR ey A COMING EVENT FORESHADOWED Gray Gables Being Overhauled for the Reception of Mrs. Cleveland. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1L.—When the assertion was made a few days ago that the President’s house at Gray Gables had been put in readiness for the family; that the President’s favcrite boat was being overhauled, and that even the fish seemed to be eagerly waiting for his appearance, it was also given out that Mrs. Cleveland and the children would go to their house on the shores of Buzzards Bay earlier this year than usual. The knowing ones smiled when they heard that Mrs. Cleveland was about to re- tire from Washington society, and said that Marion would soon be two years old. The intervals between the chiidren in the Cleveland family bave so far been about two years in each case, and gossips say that the next interval will be about the same; that the interesting event will take place in July. For a Monetary Conference. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—Mr. Corliss of Michigan offered in the House to-day a resolution requesting the resi- dent to invite the leading commercial na- tions of the world to join in an interna- tional monetary conference, to be held as early as practicable, The proposed confer- ence is to be held in Washington, and $100,000 is appropriated for defraying ex- penses. e Not This Session. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—Hub- bard of Missouri, who made tue mimority report on Powers’ funding bill, states posi- tively that the bill will not be considered at this session. He gets his information from a Representative who talked with Speaker Reed. Senator W hite said to-day: *'No, the funding bill will not come up this session. The Santa Monica project has knocked it out.” LIKE BANQUO’S GHOST. The Brown Case Now Bobs Up Before Chicago Congregationalists. CHICAGO, Irn., May 11.—A surprise was sprung at the close of the regular meeting of the Congregational ministers of Chicago to-day when Rev. J. F. Loba, secretary and chairman of the business committee, introduced in a short speech a resolution that a committee of five be ap- inted to review the action of the Bay S?)nlernnu of Caliornia in suspending from the ministry Rev. Charles O. Brown, D.D., of the First Congregational Church of San Francisco, after he had been found not guilty of the charge of immorality by a specially called council. After a brief but spirited discussion the resolution was carried by an almost unanimous vote and the committee was appointed. e KILLED BX YAQUIS. Fate of Two Young Americans Who Left Nogales for Guatemala. HERMOSILLO, Mexico, ‘May 1L—Ad- vices reached here yesterday from Ures, in the southern part of this State, that John Lebner and Forest Moss, the two young men who left Nogales, Ariz., two months ago to walk to Guatemala, have been killed by Yaqui Indians west of that town.

CHICAGO, Iur., May 11.—The Southern Grand Division of the Supreme Court of Appeals, in an opinior handed down by Justice Becker at Vérnom, IlL, to-day decided that ticket scalping is illegal. The court refused to expunge its judg- ment. from the records in the appealed case of George Burdick of Jackson County agawmnst the people as represented by the Iilinois Central Railway Company. The case will probably be taken to the United 'S!ntes Supreme” Court by the National Ticket Brokers’ Association. S el OVER AN MBANKEMENT.

Louis Nathans, aged 30, was killed and twenty-six people were injured, but none of them fatally. There were 203 passen- gers on the train. The statements of the conductor and engineer show that the disaster was the result of a deliberate plot to wreck thd train. All the injured were Southern people. TRl i PRISON GATES OPENED. Mrs. Brant Pardoned and Returned to Her Family. LINCOLN, NEBR., May 11.—There was a Ppathetic scene within the walls of the State Penitentiary to-day when Mrs. Frances Brant, who, last August, shot and killed Fred Reiver in Madison County, was par- doned by Governor Holcomb and rejoined her fam:lg She is soon to become a mother. Brant and his four small chil- drén had driven in a wagon all the way from Madison County and camped on the El_'mne near the penitentiary.
