8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1896. HELD IN GOLDEN LINKS, Nuptials of Walter Scott Hobart and Miss Haonah Wil liams, RARE BEAUTY OF THE BRIDE. A Wedding Breakfast for the Most Intimate Friends—Elegant Wed- ding Presents Walter Scoct Hobart and Miss Hannah Neil Williams were married yesterday at noon at the Neil cottage, San Rafael, Bishop Nichols, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Hartmau of 8t. Paul’s Episcopal Church, £an Rafael, officiating. For the past two months society, and in fact the community at large, has found the nuptials of this happy young couple a fruitful and interesting source of conversa- tion. At first Dame Rumor promised a quiet church wedding at the little church at San Rafael, where for the past six years the fair young bride bas been a constant worshiper. Then when it was officially announced that the wedding was to be quietly cele- brated in the Neil cottage at Sar Rafael gossip came to the rescue of the disap- of honor, and had a twig of orange blos- soms stuck proudly in the top. ; The menu of the breakfast was as fol- ows : Coftee, tea and chocolate Champagne was served with all the courses. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hobart, of course, occupied the places at the head of the table, and Mr. and Mrs. Lester at the foot. Seated at the right hand of the groom was Miss Juliet Williams and at the bride’s right sat Dr. Tevis. The other guests at the bride’s table were Miss Ella Hobart, ‘Wilberforce Williams, Miss Jessie Hobart, Dennison Forsyth, Miss Allen, Mr. Mec- | Near, Mrs. Lester, Mr. Lester, Miss Mar: Eyre, General Forsyth, Miss Alice Hoff- man, Mr. Taylor, Miss Bertha Smith, Mr. Stetson and Miss Juliet Williams. At the other table were seated Robert E. Neil, Miss Findley, Rev. Mr. Hartman, Mrs, Neil, Bishop Niclols and Miss Vas- sault. After the wedding breakfast the bride went upstairs to don her traveling gown, while the guests listened to the music and inspected the wedding gifts. They were displayed in the room to the rear of the drawing-room -and were elegant and costly. In the midst of ali the splendor of silver and jewels, the groom'’s gifts to his bride were prominently displayed. They were a tiny watch that a 5-cent piece might safely cover. It was an open-face time- piece, and the rim as well as the back was a solid mass of diamonds. It was a chate- laine watch and the pin that it was at- tached to was a diamond crown. His other gift was a jeweled polo-player that may be worn as a bangle or a charm. The man and animal were of diamonds. The rider’s coat was of emeralds and bis eyes pointed friends and predicted a large post- nuptial reception at the Hobart mansion on Van Ness avenue. Unfortunately, this was not to be so. ngements for the wedding were all ted on the simplest and quietest p ans in deference to the bride’s mother, s been an invalid for the past six- tech years and to whom the slightest ex- citement might mean serious if not fatsl consequences. There has always been an indescribable charm about a May wedding, and yester- day’s ceremony was no exception. All nature seemed to smile approvingly. The sun shone clear and bright. The slight breeze just served to temper the burning rays and make the tall pine trees that line on either side the avenue that leads to the rose-covered cottage sway slightly, as though in courteous welcome to the wed- ding guests. The large garden that surrounds the cottage in which roses grow and bloom in wild and artistic confusion added to the general picturesqueness of the scene and lent that necessary touch of the ideal that is essential to a May wedding. The beauty without hardly preprned the guests for the beanty within. The Neil cottage is 8 home that leuds itself readily to the art of the decorator. The rooms are large and furnished in that old-fashioned way that is ever beautiful and artistic. Rare pieces of antique furniture and valu- able pieces of old china add to the general beauty of the interior and serve to tell the story of the ancient and noble lineage of the Neil and Williams family. As far as was consistent, pink was made the predominating tone of the decorations. In the family sitting-room, where the cere- mony was performed, this color scheme was carried out with the happiest effects. The bay-window was the decorator’s ob- jective point. The four large windows which formed the large embrasure were hid behind a display of fishnet, studded with pink locust blossoms. The net was carried forward to the ceiling, forming overhead a triangular floral canopy. On either side of the window were banks of Eink hydrangeas. It was in this ioral em- rasure, kneeling on white satin cushions, that the bavpy young couple were made man aud wife. For the other apartments, on the same floor, which were all placed at the disposal of the guests, no set form of decoration was adbered to. There were simply flow- ers everywhere. Here an enormous bunch of choice roses nodded in a costly vase and there yerhaps long, heavily laden branches of hawthorn filled a crystal bowl, or else wild brakes formed a cool and pretty background for a rare bit of bric-a-brac. On the walls hung the family picture giving to the entire scene a feeling (:* home security. To the minute, as the town bell chimed the noon hour, the bridal party entered the room where the ceremony was to be performed. The strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march mingled strangely with the shouts of boys, from Tamalpais Col lege, just across theroad. The ceremony was simple and impressive. First came the maids of honor, Miss Ella Hobart and Miss Juliet Williams. Immediately foliowing them came the bride, pale and beautiful, lean- ing on the arm of her grandfather, Itober& E. Neil. The groom, attended by his best man, Harry Stetson, stood at the Bishap's elbow waiting his bride. The bride’'s mother, reclining on a divan to the leftof the floral bower, witnessed the ceremouy. After the final words wera pronounced the friends of the happy young couple crowded round them and offered their congratulations. At 12:30 o'clock Mr.and Mrs. Hobart led the way to the dining-hall, where the bridal breakfast was served, The guests were seated at two tables. At the bride's table the decorations were most beautiful. Duchesse roses arranged in large baskets were used with most pleasing results, A basket occupied the place of honorin the center and at the lower end. Bowsand streamers of pink ribbons, the same here as the roses. filled in the interrediate space. At the upper end, in front of the covers laid for the brideand groom, orange blossoms formed & pleasing ration. The immense bridecake occupied the place l mother at San Rafael, and spent last win- ter the guest of her cousin, General For- syth, at_the Richelieu. She is connected by blood and marriage with the first fami- Iies of this land, many of whose names are part of America’s history. Young Hobart is almost too well known to need any comment. He is known throughout the United States as an ad- mirer, owner and breeder of fast horses, and in addition to his vast wealth, esti- mated at several millions, he enjoys the reputation of being a jolly companion, a loyal friend and worthy citizen. ey ELUDED PURSUIT. The Happy Couple’s Romantic Flight to San Mateo In Speclal Traln, Tugboat and Buggy. ‘When young Walter Hobart planned his wedding journey he made the most care- ful preparations, in order to avoid re- porters and the gaze of an interested public. The secret of his intended course was so well guarded that he was almost suc- cessful. As the newly married couple were driven to the San Rafael station soon after the ceremony their purpose seemed evident, but there the first disappointment awaited the expectant passengers, who learned after the train had started that the bride and groom were not aboard. On a side-track there had been another locomotive with a single coach atttached, GRANT'S PEDESTAL CUT BY FELONS, Granite Base of the Monu- ment Carved by Con- victs at Folsom. DENIAL AND ADMISSION C. O'Connor Avers That the Granite Was Quarried in Placer County. WARDEN AULL'S STATEMENT, He Asserts That the Stone Was Quar- ried at Folsom and Dressed by the Convicts of the Prison. The story whispered low yesterday turns out to be true, and more’s the pity, that the local managers of the Grant monu- ment have had the granite pedestal for the bronze to be placed in Golden Gate Park quarried and dressed by convicts of Fol- som Prison. The first intimation that such might be the fact came through the Granite-cutters’ Union of S8an Francisco, and at once an Scenes at the Pretty May Wedding of Miss Hannah Williams, a Fair Maiden of High Degree, to Mr. Walter S. Hobart, the Young . Millionaire. Both the Principals Are Exceptionally Popular in Society Circles. The Ceremony, Which, Owing to the Delicate Health of the Bride’s Mother, Was Quietly Performed, Took Place Yesterday in San Rafael. of tiny rubies. His mallet was a thread of gold, tipped with a pearl. Mies Hobart’s gift to the bride was a complete service of solid gold and the diamond sunburst that held the veil in place. Mrs, Lester sent an elegant 5 o’clock tea service consisting of six pieces and ele- gantly engraved. Dr. Harry Tevis presented the bride with a medallion pin surrounded by diamords. . General Forsyth’s gift was also 2 medal- lion brooch set with pearls. Mrs, John P, Jones sent a magnificent crystal jar with a cover of gold, in the center of which was set a medallion. From Mrs. H. Taylor the bride received an elegant silver icecream_set, and Harry Stetson sent a silver bread and butter set of elaborate design. Mr. and Mrs. Alvinza Hayward sent a set of silver cake plates. The plates were t'iive in number, of different size and de- ign. Krom Mr, and Mrs, James Cross was re- ceived an elaborate soup set. Mrs. Edward McCutcheon’s gift to the bride was a silver fruit plate. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Knight sent a crystal and silver liqueur set. _Joseph D. Grant’s gift was an elegant silver water pitcher and salver and Harry Simpking’ offering was a silver bonbon- niere. The gowns of the bridal party have here- tofore been described at length. The bride’s gown was a magniiicent creation of white satin, the corsage elaborately trim- med with tulle and duchesse lace. The maids of honor were attired alike 1n pink silk with overdressess of white swiss with insertions of valenciennes. The bride's mother and grandmother | wore elegant gowns of black satin, with | duchesse lace trimming the corsage. At 3:15 o’clock, the Lride and groom and wedding guests boarded the special train at Tamalpais station. The bride wore a stylisk blue tailor gown with arough straw | bat to match. ’ Arrived at the City, the lett immediately for the Hobart ce at 8an Mateo, and later will go East for a few weeks’ stay. They will vis:t the various Eastern watering places, and at Bar Har- bor will be the guests of Governor Den- nison of Ohio and Mrs. Dennison, cousins of the bride. Mr. and Mrs. Hobart expect to return in time to zo to Del Monte for ::g %z;)‘ot. ’l.;hey ‘b'ut}l pass the mginth ‘m is City, and probal next spring for an extended Euro nny '51(:“4 S Much has already been published about the rare beauty, charms and grace of the fair bride of yesterday. Francisco society has known her but omue season. She made her debut last winter at the Wallace ball, and was immediately recog- nized as a beauty and a belle. For the past few years she has made her home with her grandparents and invalid oung couple and its destination proved to be the pier at San Quentin where the tugboat Vigi- lant had been waiting for two hours to carry the two passengers to San Fran- cisco. Without baggage or even a cane or para- sol and unhampered by friends, the happy pair, oblivious to all else in the first moments of their married life, started at once from their special car torthe boat. A small plank was laid from the rail to the pier, and the groom ventured upon it. He slipped and nearly fell overboard, but soon a{t'e: was safely on deck with his pretty wife. They took their positions on the leeward side of the cabin, where blissfully con- scious that they were alone, they sat very close together on two small camp stools, the groom’s arm loyingly about his bride. And this position they maintained during the trip to this City. The captain had instructed the engineers to observe extreme cautlon, as the two passengers aboard sented a little matter of about $8,000, But that only inereased their desire to leave the engine- room one by one to get a glimpse of the valuable lives in their charge. At 2:40 o'clock the Vigilant arrived safely at the Folsom-street pier, where a horse and buggy stood in waiting, as a part of the general plan. No one was in attendance. Hobart himself unhitched the horse, assisted his bride to the seat, i;:t in and drove off in the direction of San ateo, near which place he owns a coun- try residence, svrrounded by extensive grounds. The bride was attired very simply ina becoming serge skirt, shirt-waist nndvhlusk straw sailor hat. The groom wore a plain bll:“k sack suit and low-cut patent leather shoes. ¥irst Baptist Church Concert. ALAMEDA, Car., May 12.—The Glee Club of the California College will give a concert in the First Baptist Church on Banta Clara avenue next Thursday even- ing for the benefit of the church. Refresh- ments will be provided by the ladies, and as the admission is fixed at 25 cents a fuil house is expocted. ———————— The British yearly revenue returns offer remarkable indications of the prosperity of the country. The receipts were £201,- 000; the expenditures were £197,788,000, leaving a surplus of more than £4,000,000, —_— ‘When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria. ‘When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, ‘When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. ‘When she had Children, she gavethem Castoria, investigation was directed by THE CALL. The granite-cutters have already taken steps to notify Colonel Fred Grant of New York and U. 8. Grant Jr. of San Diego that prison work has been employed 6n the monument. Last evening Cornelius O'Connor, one of the managers of the monument asso- ciation, was asked where the granite ped- estal came from, and he replied, “from Placer County.” **Did it not come from Folsom?”” he was asked, and in reply ne said: ‘It came from a quarry in Placer County and never was at Folsom.” In reply to the next question, “Was the stone dressed by convicts?” Mr.0'Connor said: “It makes no difference who dressed the stone. Pay noattention to that.” THE CALL at once established communi- cation with Warden Anli at Folsom Prison. The Warden was asked: *‘Was the granite pedestal for the Grant monument dressed at Folsom?” He replied: ‘‘Yes, it was.” “Was it dressed by prison convicts?” “'It was,” responded the Warden. ““Where did the stone come from?"” “From the Folsom quarry,” replied the Warden. ‘‘Are you sure that it did not come from Placer County ?”” ‘“Itcame from the Folsom quarry.” ‘‘Was the stone quarried by convicts?" 1t was quarried by prison labor,” re- sponded the Warden. *“Where is the pedestal now?" ‘“‘In Golden Gate Park."” The Granite-cutters’ Journal, published at Baltimore, relates an incident connected with the finishing of the celebrated Grant monument in Riverside Park, New York. Recently a committee called Colonel Fred Grant’s attention to a rumor that the orna- mental work for the interior was to be performed by non-union men and he promptly replied: *Thatwill not do; my father was a union man and his tomb should be finished by union men or left unornamented.” There should be enough money in the Grant monument fund of San Francisco to pay for first-class free labor on the monu- ment work. A vast deal of money was subscribed and pever paid in, yet a considerable sum was collected and accounted for. The in- terest on the amount which was deposited in the Anglo-Californian Bauk more than ten years ago should now pe available. Burely the contributors to the Grang — : WING Cary) pr O 1 KLE N RATULAT 0% monument fund never for a moment enter- tained the thought that conviet labor would be used in handling the material for the monument. There is not a great deal of money circulating about the Grand Army posts fof California or jingling in the pockets of Union veterans, yet there is enough to relieve the monument man- agers of the necessity of using convict labor in this memorial enterprise. DISINFECTED BY FLAMES. Residence of Dr. Zeyn Burned by Health Officers in Alam: ALAMEDA, CaAr., May 12.—The resi- dence of the late Dr. G. C. Zeyn, together with all his parsonal effects, was destroyed by fire this morning at the instance of the Board of Health. This was done to prevent any dancer from contagion from erysipelas, the malady to which the doctor succumbed. His surgical instruments and office facniture were divided among the medical bretnren who attended him, in conformity with his will. Fire Exits in Public Halls. ALAMEDA, CAL, May 12.—Mention was made April 19 in THE CALL of the want of proper fire exits to both Armory Hall and Opera-house. The matter recelved_ attention on May 4 at the City Trustees meeting. Last night the fire committee banded in the following report on the various halls in the city: Fraternal Hall, Park street and Webb avenue. The floor of the lodgeroom in the frontand the dancing or banquet room in the rear is very shaky. Wooden posts are set under both of the above ball floor joists, but apparently the foundations of the building have settled. The danceroom door and the main door at the foot of the stairway should be changed so as to swing outward. Armory Hali—The gallery shakes badly, as also does the main fioor of the auditorium. The street door at foot of gallery side entrance is blocked, and door opening frcm the stage to street stairway swings inward. The steps leading from auditorium to stage are rotten, as also are the three flights leading from the main hall exits on the Buena Vista avenue side. The mudsills under the building are rotten, and the herringbone bracing of the floor joists beneath the main floor have nearly all pulled loose in the center course. The front main street door swings inward. As nearly as we could judge, the rods running down the trusses under tha roof to hold up the allery need tightening up,and_the gallery shouid also be supported from below. The hall generally is in a bad state and in need of repsirs. Pinacrman Opera-house—There ere three exits from the main floor 1o the street at front, rear and side; all the doors opening on these exiis swing outward. The railing on the Park avenue stairway is too low. The exits from the gallery deliver the people from that part of the house at the head of the main stairway opposite the principai entrance to the h‘“} which is liable to cause congestion in case of carried by six 1§ anic. The gallery is ind two one inch iron rods depending from: trusses under the roof and is supported from beneath by two iron columns, two and one- Tourth inches, rising from the main floor joists, and wooden brackets under the sides. These brackets were origim}lly made to carry twice the weight put upon them. Auhofighpmupganery trembled somewhat when a man jumped up and down there are no evidences of weakness either in the trusses under the roof, the plastering under the gal- lery or on the main walls. At our suggestion Mr. Linderman agreed to put in three addi- tional joists under the raise of the gallery floor to stiffen it. The floor joists of the second story are 2x18 and the studding sills rest on s0lid concrete walls. % The defects in the other halls consisted i)rinmpnuy in the doors swinging inward. It was resolved that the City Attorney be instructed to araw up an ordinance to remedy the defects spoken of and to pre- vent the aisles and passageways being blocked during performances. NEW TO-DAY.

All Druggists, THE BABY BOY BROWNING Preliminary Examination of John T. Flynn Resumed Yesterday. Mrs. Shaen, Mrs. Brown'ng’s Sister, Undergoes a Severe Cross. Examination. The preliminary examination of John T. Flynn, charged with the murder of baby boy Browning, was resumed before Judge Low yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Browning, the mother, was put on the stand for further cross-examination. She admitted that Edward T. Dellex, a hack-driver, lived with her at 1135 Mission street, but venied that they were known as man and wife. She was never asked the question by tne landlady. They lived there last year. Dellex had called upon her two days before the baby was born. Mrs. Shaen, Mrs. Browning’s sister, was ut through a severe cross-examination by orge A. Knight. She said she was a married woman, but could not tell the month or year when she was married to the ceremony. % She had been previously married to a saloon-keeper named Kimball in Santa Monica, who was shot and killed, but she refused to say whether it was accidentally or not. She denied ever living in Los An- geles or that she kept & house of ill- fame there. She was not known there as Miss May Enright. Subsequently she ad- mitted that after Kimball was shot she went to Los Angeles and lived with her sister-in-law for five months. She was introduced to a Mr. Jones by her sister about two months ago and since then her sister had told her that the man’s real name was Flynn. She had not seen him since. Flynn was made to stand up and she said she would not swear he was the man introduced to her as Mr. Jones. She denied that Flynn went for her the night the babg was born and said it was her nephew. She did not look at the baby after she placed it in the bureau-drawer. When she and her niece went to her home to get the hot-water bag Mrs. Browning was gone. Tessie Browning, Mrs. Browning’s daughter, testified that Dellex, the hack- driver, boarded with her mother on Mission street. She knew Flynn, and was intro- duced to him by her mother. Flynn was a frequent visitor at the house. Or cross- examination she said she knew nothing about the birth of the baby, and simply asked her aunt while going for the hot- water bag if her mother was better, When they returned, the door was locked, and she had to open it with her key. Dr. Barrett, who made the autopsy, said the baby died from inanition. Detectives Gibson and Wren gave unimportant tes- timony, and the case for the prosecution was closed. Flynn in his testimony flatly contra- dicted Mrs. Browning, Mrs. Shaen and Tessie Browning in many essential partic- ulars. On the night the baby was born he was at Mrs. Browning’s place three times. | The first time about 8:30 o’clock, when he found Mrs. Browning in bed. Thenat 10:30, when Mrs. Shaen told him to call back in an hour. He did so, and after waiting with Tessie in the front room for about three-quarters of an hour he, at the request of Mrs, Shaen, took Tessie out fora walk. They returned about 1:30 A, M., and he went home with Mrs. Shaen for the hot- water bag, carrying at her request a bundle, which she said jcontained sciled clothes. ‘When they got to Mrs. Shaen’s house she | invited him in and he had a giass of whisky with her.. He returned to Mrs. Browning’s with Mrs. Bhaen, and after wailing for about five minutes went home to the Winchester House. He admitted giving Mrs. Browning money, but it was out of pure friendship and to help her and her two children. The examination will be resumed to- morrow =fternoon. NEW TO-DAY.
