16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1896. STARVING AT ONE HUNDRED AND SIK. An Aged Mexican Woman Left Alone and Dying. DESERTED BY RELATIVES Dona Garcia Left in Bed Four Days Without Food or Drink. AN ARMY LASSIE RESCUES. Flag of Blood and Fire Carries Conso- lation Into a Poverty Stricken Abode. One hundred and six vears old, Mother Garcia (Nicolini Garcia was her husban'd's name) lies dying &t her home at 536 Val- lejo street. 3 For three days past Mother Garcia’s oqu companion bas been s big black cat with sympathetic eyes, which purrs and mews confidingly when one chances to come into the wretched room, and then flits away to the further end of the apartment and rubs its glossy back on the low bedstead when the aged woman rests. But for the ministering care of a Salva- tion Army lassie, Cadet Middleton, as she is known, the centenarian would probably now be registered at the Morgue as among those who ‘“‘died in bed.” Three days ago the case was reported to the Salvation Army headquarters and Cadet Middleton was at once detailed to look into the matter. *““When I reached the wretched abode,” she said yesterday, “I found the poor creature in a horrible condition. Every window in the room was closed and, in consequence, the air was foul and stifling. Mother Garcia was scarcely breathing and { had no idea that she would survive the day. Iopened the windows, letting in the pure, fresh air, and then with much ditfi- culty forced several spoonfuls of beef tea dewn her throat. A ~‘After a time she began to revive and almost before L knew it she fired a volley of Spanish at me. Now I don’t happen to speak Spanish, but I knew just enough_of it to understand that she had something of importance to say. I rushed out into the yard and with some difficulty induced a Spanish woman who spoke fairly good English to go with me and act as inter- preter. the interpreter Mother Garcia B e that she had been ill for two weeks, and for four days not a particle of food had passed her lips. How lonz she had been unconscious she could not tell, but the last thing she remembered before her eyes rested on me was the faithful black cat keeping a silent vigil at the foot of the bed.” A CaLy reporter visited Mrs. Garcia’s last night. In a little back room, yards away from the Vallejo-street entrance, the old woman was found. The first entrauce was up a pair of stairs, where a buxom voman, with arms akimbo, stood guard. ight back there,” she said pointing with her hand to some vague spot in a northerly direction. ‘Right back there” proved to be any- thing but an easy place to find. Follow- ing tbe passage, which turns three or four times before ending anywhere, one finally jands in a plank-covered yard. U another flight of stairs to a second yard, and then a third pair of rickety braces to a shed many teet higher than the street, and one finds che home of the centenarian. There are two rooms, but the first is less of an apology than the one where Mrs, Gar- cia lies. Tins, cans and bottles, a broken- down bedstead, a rickety table, constitute the principal furniture. Mrs. Garcia was born at Guaymas, Mexico, 106 years ago, moving to San Francisco when this City was still in its infancy. She has lived in her present home for the last fourteen years. Up to two weeks ago 2 nephew, now nearly 60 years old, lived with her, but when she became too ill to care for herself he deserted her, The Salvation Army people will care for her until the end comes. POPPIES THEIR EMBLEM The Christian Endeavorers Keeping Up Unbroken Enthusiasm. San Jose Delegates Were Given a Cordial Reception on Their Return. Old Glory in the center, popples on the right, poppies on the left, poppies on the pedestal; poppies on the babies, on the maidens and on the boys, matrons and bachelors alike. In fact, the Golden Gate Union of the Christian Endeavor seemed to have done nothing else other than to strip the hills and valleys of California in search of the State floral emblem—the poppy. To such an extent had the collec- tion been gathered that the lecture-room of the Third Congregational Church on Fif- teenth street looked more like fiesta than an assemblage of earnest workers in the endeavor to gather young souls into the fold. All this display with the happy and cheerful faces of those assembled last night was for the purpose of extendinga NEW TO-DAY.

After which William P. Clark, the presi- dent, invited the Rev. Willlam Rader, pastor of Third Corgregational Church, to extend a welrome on behalf of the church and congregation to the delegates. 3 This request was cheerfully complied with, and a hearty welcome was extended to all who participated in the labors of the State conventio ith the hope that the delegates to the National Convention may be successful in securing for San Francisco the convention for 1897. The following delegates, who were pres- ent, each came forward ana gave their views on the work of the convention: Professor J. Wiles, president of Golden Gate Union; Miss Belle P. Nason, State superintendent of junior work; Dr. Kelly; Miss Mindora Berry, superintendent of missions in California; Miss Myrtle Simp- son, superintendent of junior work in San Francisco; Mr. Haines, U. S. steamer Thetis; Mr. Gee Gam of the Chinese Con- gregational Mission; Mr. McKee of the Pacific Coast Endeavor; Miss Faught of Westminister Presbyterian Church. After the speakers had concluded, the Endeavorers resolved themselves into a social gathering, interspersed with music and song by the following young ladies: Solo, Mrs. H. C. Stadtfeld; duet, Miss Bryan and Miss Cooley; solo, Miss Bryan; trio, Mr. and Mrs. Stadtfeld and H. Han WAS TIRED OF LIFE. John Bradley, Deserted by His Wife and Out of Work, Killed Himself Yesterday. John Bradley, about 50 years of age, committed suicide yesterday in his room at 208 Second street by swallowing a dose of arsenic. Bradley was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital and everything was done to save his life, but the poison bad got in its deadly work and he died in a few hours. He admitted that he had taken the poison with the intention of ending his life. “I was out of work and despondent,” he said, “and had nothing to live for. 1 was at one time a machinist in the fire de- partment in New York. I married a woman of wealth and we came to this ity. I got employment in the Keystone Foundry and worked there for some years. “My “wife got tired of this place and went East. She wrote me to come to her, but I refused, and she got a divorce from me and married again. I lost my job in the foundry and since then have been drifting_around, getting a job where I could. This morning I bought 10 cents’ worth of arsenic and swallowed it and hope I will die.”’ is body was removed to the Morgue, where an inquest will be held. IT IS A NATIONAL THEME Balfe - Moore Club’s Evening With American Poets and Composers. Literary and Musical Treat Promised for Next Friday Evening—The Club’s Ambition. The Balfe-Moore Club has arranged for “‘An Evening With American Poets ana Composers,” which promises to elevate the club even beyond the high reputation it attained through its first concert, “An Evening With Irish Poets and Composers.” The organization has a laudable purpose in view. Itsenthusiastic members have devoted much thought and unselfish en- deavors to assure the success of their novel entertainments, which are not given for gain, but that all whoadmire the Balfe- Moore Club’s ambition may profit by it. At ameeting held Monday night, with Thomas R. Bannerman, president, in the chair, it was decided to have the night with American authors and composers, May 29, at Metropolitan Hall. A pro- gramme was then prepared and finally accepted, with the strong belief that it would be & musical and literary treat.

The statement that Mrs. Gordon occupied a room in the Bell residence, where Frederick Bell sustained such serious injuries, has been found to be erroneous. She has lived with her mother at 533 O’Farrell street for several months past, and was in no way connected with the events in the Beil residence. s Memorial Day Parade. General R. H.

Wong Sam, Chinese Interpreter, Will Have to Answer Before the Su- perior Court. ‘Wong S8am, the Chinese interpreser, was yesterday held by Judge Low to answer before the Superior Court in $3000 bonas on the charge of forgery. The evidence showed that Lum Too was a passenger on the Coptic from China. ‘Wong Sam approached Lum Too’s friends in Chinatown and told them he could get him landed for $150, to be paid to a law- yer. They refused to give up sucha large sum, but offered him $30. Wong got angry and swore he would get even with them, 5 he wrote a letter to Collector Wise, to which he forged the name of the Chinese interpreter in Los Angeles, stating that Lum Too was not a merchant and the men who were trying to land him were highbinders. This was followed by an- otner forged letter, both of which were produced by Collector Wise, who said they had largely been the means of Lum Too being deported. The Judge considered the evidence sufficient to hold the defendant. ——————— TO BREAK HIS UNCLE'S WILL A. Pierotich of This City Wants a Share of a Sacramento Estate. August Plerotich of this City is the nephew of Marco Maina, who died re- cently at Sacramento and left an estate valued at $50,000. The young man is the son of the de- ceased’s sister and was educated by his uncle at Santa Clara College. He was treated with great liberality by the latter during his life time, but the last will and testament contains no mention of young Harry Bigelow, Better Known as “Petey” Bigelow, the Well-Known Newspaper Man Who Passed Away at St. Luke’s Hospital Yesterday. hood, and died as he had lived, with a smile on his lips. Genial “Petey” Bigelow, as he was known to his friends, had a career of sun- shine and of shadow, but the pity of it was that the shadow came after the sun- shine, the pain after the pleasure. He knew not and cared not for the value of money. It was made to spend in the com- pany of literary men, whose conversation was as brilliant and as frothy as the wine they drank. At one period of his life, the years during which his pen illuminated the columns of the Examiner, he made money fast and easily. He was a favorite of W. R. Hearst, and it was often a source of wonder to his fellow Bohemians how he contrived to draw salary and write so lit- tle. But when “Petey’’ did write it was worth far more than he received for it. He took a trip to Europe with Mr. Hearst and gatbered much valuable ma- terial for future articles. After jovial King Kalakaua died Mr. Bigelow accompanied the remains to Honolulu and wrote a graphic description of the funeral cere- monies. His interview with Queen Liliuo- kalani was a newspaper feat which gained him much renown. The best display of his fertility of resour- ces was made in the mountains of Fresno County, whither he went to interview the bandits, Chris Evans and John Sontag. He found them eating dinner at a cabin away up in tne chaparral. It wasa dan- gerous experiment, for he ran the risk of being shot by them as a detective or a spy. Each bandit held a Winchester rifle, and to avoid any misunderstanding they sat bim on the edge of the bed between them and told him the story of what they considered to be their wrongs. Br the breezy frankness of his manner, which was not at all assumed, he completely won their hearts and cemented their con- tidence by exchanging his hat and shoes for those worn by Chris and by the liberal donation of a piece to the daring out- laws. A Mercutio in temperament, Mr, Bige- low won all hearts by his hail-fellow-well- met manner. He loved company and company loved him. To this faculty of making fast friends of strangers he owed much of kis success as a newspaper writer. Warm-hearted himself, his loss will be mourned by many warm hearts, for he was a rare man, a genius in his way ana there is 0o one left who can fill his place. By a Feculiar coincidence his favorite eating place the Franco-American restau- rant closed itsdoors and went out of exis ence a few weeks ago, just about the time that Mr. Bigelow’s illness assumed a fatal hase. This famous French restaurant ad been in existence for more than twency years on Merchant street, between Montgomery and Sansome. Lately it was removed to Montgomery street, between Commercial and Clav, and u “to let” sign darkens its dusty windows. There was no better judge of asalad,a salmi, or a civet, than Henry Bigelow, and the swell cooks of the swell clubs and restaurants wcrihnppy when “Petey”’ praised their work. For some months he had been ailing | and in the early part of last April he was {\ersunded by his friends to make a trip to Vichy Springs in Mendocino County. He appeared to derive some benefit from his rest there, but about a week ago he had a relapse and was brought to this City and taken to St. Luke's Hospital on Saturday night. On Sunday and Monday with care- ful nursing he seemed to be much better and on Monday afternoon conversed freely with bis friends and expressed a strong hope of speedy recovery. At midnigzht, however, he lapsed into a comatose condi- tion and at 7 o’clock yesterduz morning bis friends were notified that the end was near. At 11 o’clock® Mrs. Bigelow and her two boys, ag-d 8 and 10 respectively, arrived from Oakland, and a few minutes after- ward Mr. Bigelow regained consciousness. He bad lost the power of articulation, how- ever, but readily recognized those around him. He embraced the members of his family and smiled for a few minutes and then lapsed into unconsciousness, in which condition he remained until 1:30 o’clock, when he ceased to breathe. Harry D. Bigelow was born on April 1, 860, in Cincinnati, Ohio. He came to San Francisco with his parents at an early age. He was married in Oakland about twelve years ago to Miss Zoe Bayliss. The funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the undertak- Pierotich’s name, and he is about to bring suit in contest of the will. The(rropen.y is valued at between $40,- 000 and $50,000. Afier providing $500 for funeral expenses Maina bequaths $2000 to the Catholic Church of Sacramento; to St. Joseph’s Convent of said city, $2000 to the Catholic Church of Budua, Austria, $1000; ;gmthe Greek Church of the same city, The balance of the proceeds of the estate are devised to the sister of the deceased, Catherine Pierotich, of Budud, Austri: Erema Maina, Constantinople, Turkey; Angelie Marincovich, Sacramento, and Tonia Brubisich, Chicago. Marco Maina arrived in Sacramento a poor man thirty years ago and opened a small restaurant. He was frugal and in- vested his savings 1o real esiate. The town grew and so did his riches. He did much for his nephew, and those who know the family say that August was net as grateful as he might have been. However that may be the young man is determined to get what he deems to be his rightful poftion of the $50,000 estate. BELIGION AND JUSTICE Judge Campbell Teaches a Young Man a Valuable Life- time Lesson. He Made Him Learn the Ten Com. mandments B=fore Dismissing the Case Against Him. Judge Campbell taught a young man a lesson yesterday that showed wisdom on his part and earned the applause of the audience in the court. John Mulvaney, John Giblin, John Walsh, Frank Hughes and John McLeod, of whom Mulvaney, who is 21, is the oldest, were arrested on Sunday afternoon on Dolores street, between Twenty-second and Twenty-third, for disturbing the peace. When they appeared before Judge Campbell Monday morning, Policeman Thompson, who made the arrest, said Mulvauey was the ringleader and had urged the others on in their effort to make as much noise as possible. The Judge discharged all the defend- ants except Mulvaney. ‘Now, Mulva- ney,” said the Judge, “you have been showing a bad example to these other boys. You disturbed the peace aand quiet of that neighborhood, and it is evident to me that you have no respect for the Sab- bath day. Do you know the ten com- mandments?”’ Mulvaney shook his head and the Judge continued: *I don’t want to punish you YELLED “DOWN WITH VINING." Two Thousand Men Wanted to Mob a Castro- Street Car. ONEMAN BEGAN THEFUN He Insisted Upon Riding on a Regularly Obtained Check. HE WOULD NOT BE PUT OFF. An Angry Crowd Assaulted the Rail- road Men and Helped the Passenger. The unpopularity of Manager Vining of the Market-street cable system and of his recently imposed transfer method were amply demonstrated at 7:15 o’clock last evening when a crowd of 2000 people, men, women and boys were about ready to over- turn car No. 125 of the Castro-street line. A hardy and determined young man re- ceived a check from: a Powell-street car conductor, but neglected to change the check for a transfer from the agent at the corner of Market and Eddy streets. He boarded the dummy of the Castro- street car outward bound. The conductor reached him in due time as he was calmly enjoying his cigar. “Fare, please,” was check was proferred. his won’t do,” stated the conductor. “It’s a check. You should have got a transfer for it from the agent.” This appeared to be Greek to the passen- ger, who looked about for informatiomr while the conductor moved along to the others. Returning, Mr. Vining’s employe again accosted the man with the check. “That’s all you'll get from me,” said the vassenger. *‘I paid 5 cents for this on Powell street andpl'll not pay again.” Matters were beginning to get interest- ing, and the words of approval on all sides asked and the encouraged the young man to be resolute. *“You'll have to pay or get off,”’ threat- eningly svoke the conductor, little dream- ing that he was entering into what eventuaily terminated in the biggest row he ever got into. “I'll do neither,”” declared the passen- gor,” “and you'll have a healthy time put- ung me off.” You’d better not try it.” The conductor stopped the car shortly before Sixth street was reached and with the assistance of a burly gripman essayed to put the man off the car. It was two to one at first, and the one managed to hold on with a grip that the two could not break. Other cars and other conductors came along, and in a little while a dozen uni- formed minions of Vining’s were piling on the one passenger. Then the bold American spirit of the other passengers who had remained idle all this time boiled over and they took a hand in the trouble. Some pushed the conductors away, while others held on and assisted the young passenger. The people on the street began to gather from all sides and a yelling mob soon formed about the car. Twenty cars were delayed, people from the housetops and windows, where a good view of the trouble could be seen, shouted with the others. *‘Hold on!' shouted some. “Don’t let them put you off!” yelled others. “Good boy! Stick to them!"” Then some one in the crowd suggested that the car be turned over., and in a moment the mob pressed forward shouting: “Down with Vining!” Never since the Kearney riots nas a mob shown such earnestness. Ladies and children in_the Castro-street car fled as best they could, and for a mo- ment it really Jooked as if some damage would be done. In the meantime the passenger held on to his check, and fought bravely to retain his position on the dummy. The crowd heiped him and so often he would be ‘ierked away by the gripmen so often would the push get him back. Two police officers came into the crowd and were buffeted about like shuttle-cocks. They were utterly powerless against the mass, which was “steadily growing larger and more threatening. “Mob them!” “Kill them!” *Hang Vining!"’ could be heard on all sides. At this juncture the gripman and the conductor decided it best to leave the pas- senger have his own way. They rang up, and the passenger, red- faced and perspiring from the battie he had just been through, rode away unmo- lested any further. He was cheered to the echo by a thou- sand voices, while another thousand hissed the conductor, gripman and Manager Vining. A TOUR OF INTEREST. Members of the Manufacturers’ Asso- ciation Make an Inspection at Baden. At the last meeting of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, an invitation was received from the Western Meat Com- pauy to inspect its possessions at Baden. The board decided that as an organiza- tion the association could not accept the in- vitation but that there was nothing to hinder the members from going as in- dividuals. Yesterday, a party consistinz of L. R. Mead, W. F. Bowers, A. McLaughlin, A. "Sharboro, J. W. Kerr, D. J. O'Leary, 8. H. Tracy, Fred H. Dingle, L. Hough, J. Curren, E. R. Lillienthal, H.-J. Crocker and W. J. Martin, went to Baden on a tour of interest, as they called it. The ty spent four hours, and inspected the K- ing-house, the plant, South San Franci: and will give you a chance. If you learn the ten commandments by_to-morrow morning I will let you go. Meantime I will suspend sentence till to-morrow.” Mulvaney was taken to the City Prison, and Sergeant Lindheimer, on hearing of the Judge’s decree, hunted up _an old Bible and gave it to him. He did more. He placed him in a cell with Attorney Ben Napthaly, who is waiting bis trial on a charge of malicious mischief. Yesterday morning the court was crowded, and when Mulvaney stood up there was the most intense excitement. “Well, Mulvaney,” said the Judge, “‘have you learned the ten commandments?’* “I have, your Honor,” replied Mulvaney. “Let me hear you repeat them,” said the Judge. Mulvaney started off and said them one by one without a break. “That’s splendid,” said the Judge. *“Now you live up to these commandments and you will never be in prison again. The charge against you is dismissed. By the by. who was in the cell with you?” "Judfi Benjamin Franklin Napthaly,” replied Mulvaney. Judge Campbeil smiled and remarked, “‘I see, you have to thank Ben for coaching you.” ————————— _The hairs in the ear of a cat are so sen- sitive that if touched, as with a pencil, the animal shudders. co Company’s grounds, the Wallace brick plant, the water-works system, the railroad system, pottery works and other interest- mfi features. efore returning to the City the guests went to W.
