THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1896. 13 A VACANT CHAIR AT LYON POST, One Sad Feature Mars the Satisfaction of the Reunion. SUSPENSION IS ENDED. The Post Again Takes Its Rightful Place in the Department. RECEPTION BY RELIEF CORPS. Commander Norton Counsels Burying of the Hatchet and Future Unity. - the OAELAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, July 8, } Lyon Post is again a portion of the G. A. R., Department of California and left for the local. He was somewhat de- pressed, however, on account of the, de- parture of two of his daughters to the country on their outing. Walking along Shattuck avenue he was seen to stagger upon the sidewalk for a considerable dis- tance, but before be could be reached fell to the pavement in_a swoon. He was lifted up and assisted for some distance, when a wagon drove alone and took him to a corner drugstore. A physician was called, but his services were of no avail, as the Consul was too near death, and soon expired. Senor Gallegos was 65 years of ageand a native of Costa Rica, but a resident of the United States for over twenty-five years, four years of which have been spenf in Berkeley. He leaves a large family. hav- ing five grown danghters and two sons, one of whom is in the employ of the Canadian Insurance Company. An inquest was beld over the remains this afternoon, with the verdict of heart disease. The funeral will take place from St. Joseph'’s Church in Berkeley next Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment in Calvary Cemetery, San Francisco. Peuce in the Camp. BERKELEY, CaL., July 8.—The Me- Kinley League at their meeting last night took measures as a body to patch up the slight breach recently caused between their organization and the Edgar Repub- lican Club, by some of the_ individual members of the two political organiza- tions. They passed a set of resolutions embodying the general sentiment of the club as regards the organization of which Robert Edgar is the head, and in them it was stated that no inharmony was exist- ant, and that they stood ready to co- operate with all Republican organizations. Considerable friction had arisen between the two clubs as a result of the stand taken against the Edgar Club by J. W. Striker of the McKinley League, who de- clared that the former had no right to ex- ist as a representative Republican organi- zation, since their existence had not been recognized by the State Central Commit- e Commander E. 4. Norton of Lyon Post, Whose Ninety Days’ Suspension Has Terminated. [From a photograph by Bushuell, Oakland.] Nevada, The suspension of its charter for ninety days lapsed at midnight of Monday and last night there was a re- union. The first meeting of the post after sus- pension was not one of unalloyed satisfac- tion., There was a vacant chair and the members all felt regretful that they had | not met as when they were forced to dis- continue meeting as a post. Ninety days ago, when the suspension went into effect, Comrade Charles B. Kimball was in the fuil vigor of life. He was an active member of Lyon Post and keenly felt the humiliation of the suspen- sion. On Decoration day the post went to the cemetery early in the morning and held their individual exercises. They were prohibited from appearing as a funda- mental part of the department in the pro- cession and decorated alone. Comrade Kimball was of the number that went to the cemetery. funeral and was one of the most frequent in attendance at the meetings. Two_ weeks ago Comrade Kimball grounded his arms and next year his grave will be decorated by those of his comrades who remain. At last night's re- union much regret was expressed that their comrade had died while the post was under suspension so that his brother members could not attend officially and pay tue final honors as they desired. omrade Norton presided last night over a very large gathering. His chair was draped with the American flag which was presented to Lyon Post by the Relief Corps. There was a general hand-shaking and exchange of greetings. About a hundred members were present, and several short speeches were made by Comrades Goldsby, Talcott, Norton and others. The suspension of the post seems to have cemented the members more sol- idly together in fraternal feeling. Comrade Norton made a short address in which he counseled the burying of the hatchet and standing shoulder to shoulder as in the past. A cordial invitation was received from Lyon Relief Corps No. 6, W. R. C., to at- tend a reception to be given by the co-ps to the post on Tuesday evening next. This date will be the twelfth anniversarn of the organization of the corps. This auxiliary has stood loyally by Lyon Post during the dark days of its suspension, and is the first to welcome them back to the fold. CONSUL GALLEGDS'DEATH Came Suddenly as the Costa Rica Representative Was Walking. Heart Diseas: the Cause—Difficulty Between the Two Local Repub. lican Clubs Aljusted. BERKELEY, Cavn, July 8.—Senor Rafael Gallegos, who has been Consul- General to S8an Francisco from Costa Rica for the past five years, died suddenly tiis morning on SBhattuck avenue while walk- ing to the station. The cause of bis sudden and wholly un- expected death was heart disease. The Consul had been in poor nealth for some time past, but was wholly unaware of his impending dem He has been able, however, to attend to his official duties at his office in 8an Francisco notwithstanding his condi- tion. He passed a good night last night, ate a hearty breakfast this morning and lmitun. He never missed a G. A. R. | | tee. Members of the Edgar Club, Clghin Mornson in particular, took up the fight, and thus relations between certain mem- bers of the two clubs were getting to be much strained, Before the matter had gone too far the McKinley League steps in and passes resolutions declaring for har- moby and co-operation. It seems that the Edgar Club was formed several weeks ago as a permanent Repub- lican organization, with the view to con- tinuing on in their party work even after the coming Presidential election, while the McKinley League was formed for the campaign ceason only. The latter re- ceived recognition from the State Central Committee, while the former did not, ana grollmd this point centered the whole dif- iculty. Theyalee!lon of Robert McClain as presi- dent of the league was confirmed, and the following additional officers elected: First vice-president, Dr. Hubert N. Rowell; second vice-president, W. B. Winn; treas- urer, Harry Squires; sergeant-at-arms, George Moore. Geutlemen’s Night.

Mrs. Daniels Was Distracted by the Thought That She Was Deserted. MAY HAVE ENDED HER LIFE. Another Chapter to the Mystery That Is Agitating North Oak- land. OAxLAND OFFicE §AN FrANCISCO CALL} Broadway, July 8. Mrs, Daniels of 588 Thirty-third street is missing and her numerous friends and neighbors are as anxious to hear of the young wife as she herself was to hear of her husband, who suddenly disappeared over a month ago. It is feared that she has been overcome by her grief and has made away with herself. When Mr. Daniels disappeared his wife was destitute and it was feared by her friends that her reason would give way. She paced to and fro in their beautifully furnished home, and when week succeeded week and nothing was heard of ber hus- band she confided to a friend that she feared she would never see Mr. Daniels again. The Daniels moved to their home about nine months ago. He always had money, which he spent lavishly, and it was stated that he was 2 mining man. He and his wife made but few friends. She was a very handsome woman and the young couple attracted general attention. About a month ago Daniels left home suddenly and told his wife he was going to Liverpool, Eng., for the benefit of his health. He lett home and has not since been heard from. Telegrams have brought no news, and now his wifé has dropped completely out of sight. For several days before disappearing Mrs. Daniels was bordering an hysterics, and was cared for by neighbors. ““When he first spoke of going off,” said Mrs. Daniels, “I intended to go with him, but he was 1n toc much haste to allow of my preparing for such a journey. When he left me I had but 80 cents in my purse, and he was to send me money in a cbuple of days. He was to have written to me from various places, but I have not re- ceived any moneg or any letter. He used vo deal in stocks, and was always well sup- plied with money, and I never knew what it was to be short. Our married life has always been happy and pleasant, and I fear that my nusband must have been taken sick or met withsome accident. He was very jolly when he left, and I expected to receive letters from him all along the route of his journey. The steamer on which he was to have crossed the Atlantic bas arrived at Liverpool and he was not a passenger.” Itis about two weeks since Mrs. Dan- iels spoke as above to a CALL reporter and the continued strain told heavily upon her. “For a few days before leaving,” said an intimate friend to-day, “Mrs. Daniels feared she had been deserted and shebe- came very despondent. She crled most of the time and frequently saia that she had no desire to live without her husband, who had aiways been kind to her. I fear that her grief has turned her reason and that the poor creature has done something rash. Bhe was of a proud, impetuous na- ture and it was heartbreaking to her to have to depend on the charity of her neighbors for her daily bread. No one seemed to know where they came from or to know anything about their relatives. He seemed to be a perfect gentleman and they were a devoted couple. She was quite young and of too lively a disposition to bear up long under deep sorrow. I fear she has done something desperate.” UNREQUITED AFFECTION Causes a Sixteen-Year-Old Girl to Swallow Tcothache Drops. A Public Meeting to Be Held to Con. sider Principal True’s Removag by the Education Board. ALAMEDA, CAL, July 8.—Unrequited love eand blighted affections made Miss Jennie Carlston of 529 Taylor avenue despondent last night. She did not want to live in this world any longer, and hav- ing got that thought into ber silly 16-year- old head she visited the West End Drug- store at 9 o'clock. The drug clerk, Horace B. Meader, sold her some three drahms of chloroform and cocaine. The combina- tion known as toothache drops was for her sister, so Miss Jennie said, and the drug clerk took the precaution to label the bottle with a poison label with its accom- panying skull and crossbones. The symbol had no terror for Miss Carlston. She retired to her bedroom, uncorked the phial and poured the contents down her tbroat to relieve her heartache. One of her sisters a short time afterward found her in an unconscious state ana ave the alarm. Drs. Morgan and Lub- goek were called in atonce and after work- ing for three hours with her they finall, restored her to consciousness and pllooi her out of immediate danger. 'he gay deceiver's name is Hugh, and heis & Ban Franciscan. It was learned siter her desperate act that she had writ- ten to bim to meet her last night, and that she kept tryst at the corner of Santa Clara avenne and Webster street until her patience was exhausted. The relatives of the girl are dixinelined to discuss the oc- currence, but she divulged to them that she had been deceived and had lavished ber young affections on one who ill re- qn&l?fl Shlm. ; iss Jennie is a smart young woman, rather prepossessing, and, so far as the neighbors know, had X The‘h 3 s h;gpy home. mor] He: declare her rash act was the result of brooding over her cross in love. ravings made it evident that this ject was uppermost in her mind for, as she was brought round, she made touch- ing“:ppuls to her mother for her forgive- n A Formidable Petition. ALAMEDA, CaL, July 8.—A lengthy petition is being circulated, addressed o the Board of Education. It prays tor the reinstatement of Principal C. ¥. True to the Wilson School. It also condemns the board’s arbitrary action in dispensing with his services, and states that he bas shown himself to be an able, progressive and conscientious teacher.

Lane, rector of Christ Episcopal Church, intends to resign. The reverend gentleman is suffering from se- vere clergyman’s sore throat, and leave of nbsenlce bas been granted him until Au- gust 1. Senior Warden Smith says he has heard of the rumors, but the only thing to make Rev. Mr, Lane resizn would be that the climate is not conducive to his health. The Church Boys’ Outing.

The clerk then reported the fact to the Board. Either the Board or printers would have to make another copy to use in the print- ing office.

The 122 books contain 25,000 names and must be copied, printed and delivered within twenty-six days. THE DOVE APPEARS. Differences in the Third Congressional District to Be Settled.

This is a very grave mat- ter and may yetend in a tragedy. I am afraid of Mrs. Baker, as I am sure she is not responsible and 1s daily getting worse. Stella denies ever saying a word about the pastor of the Church of the Advent except that he was interested in her welfare. “Mr. Law told me that he bad discov- ered that Stella is a very intelligent girl. She can sing and play music at sight and is a good writer. He took her into his choir for the purpose of encouraging her, and she left two months ago. Her mother is subject to halucinations and she has imagined all she has said about Stells. I live in fear of her mother. When that woman murdered herself and two chil- dren in SBan Francisco some months ago Mrs, Baker was greatly affected by read- ing the news and has frequently spoken since of snicide as the only remedy for human sorrows. *‘There is no con!Dirlc{ to take Estella away from her. The girl has already be- come wayward &nd needs a guardian. She tells me that her mother has been cruel to ber and that she used to beat her and pay no attention to her. She has threatened to kill us all and this morning my son who works at my shop in San Francisco told me he was afraid his mother would kill me.” Btella is at present staying with a pri- vate family in East Oakland awaiting the outcome of the case. “I have run away from my mother twice,” said the girl, “‘but it was because she did not treat me right. Once I went to my father and another time I went to Mrs. Prescott of the Children’s Bociety and she sent me to the Chabot Home. My mother says that [ once asked a man for money who was a siranger to me. I was on my way to Good Friday services at Mr. Laws' church.

A few hints to this effect were dropped, but tha questions did not appear to be any easier, There {8 a young man who is a pillar of Mr. Bailey’s church.

He stood it as iong as he could, and finally he shouted out: “I obj ct.”’ The professors and doctors were non- plussed. They did not know how to re- ceive the disturbance. A little argument followed, and Mr, Russell stated that the learned gentlemen were making the or- deal too hard, and he did not tkink it fair. “It was the first time anything of the kind occurred to my knowledge,” said Dr. Chapman this afternoon. *Our queries were mainly suggested by Mr. Bailey’s equivocal answers. Mr. Russell evidently mought that we were there to sanction anything he wanted. We regard the ex- amination of a minister as a very serious affair, and we do not appreciate inter- ference. After the examination we passed Mr. Bailey, and he is now a full- fledged minister.” Hopeless Case of Insanity. OAKLAND, CaAL., July 8.—Mrs. Annie E.

Will Ask That Seventy-Five Thou. sand Dollars Be Expended on Oakland Harbor. OAKLAND OFFICE 8AN FrANCIS00 CALL, 908 Broadway, July 8. } A large delegation of officials from Oak- land and Alameda will call upon Govern- ment Engineer Suter at his office in San Francisco next Saturday morning. The party will consist of Councilman Dam and Capell, Drs, Beckwith and Chamber- lain of the Board of Health, Supervisors Talcott and Church, Mayor Davie, City Attorney Piersol, City Engineer Wilsen and Health Officer Ur. Bradley, all of Oakland, and Health Officer McLean, Trustees Leydecker and Fletter, Dr. Lub- bock and Dr. Bull of the Board of Health, ‘W. A. Knowles and J. B. Lanktree of the Board of Education, City Engineer W. R. Payzer, City Attorney Taylor and City Clerk Lamborn, all of Alameda. The delegation is going in the interest of harbor improvement. It desires to hava the canal finished at once, as recom- mended years ago by commissioners who examined the project. It will require about $75,000 to do this, but the report ot the above mentioned commissioners says that the opening of the tidal canal and the placing of flood gates there wilt do more to keep the harbor in condition than a whole force of dredgers. They recom- mended that this work be done and then to let nature do the dredging for a year or two. The committee wants that work done now. Now that the work is on the continual contract list all that is necessary is for the engineer in charge to ask for the amount of money that he wants to use on the work. It is the desire of this delegation of city and county officials to have Colonel Suter make the above recom- mendation to his superiors. —————— Ran Into a Barrow.

The case of the Security Loan Associa- tion against Mrs. Josephine J. Pritchard 18 being heard in Judge Slack’s court. The case recalls the sunicide of Louis Blank, who swindled so many of the building and loan companies a short time ago. The Security Loan Association is suing Mrs. Pritchard for a balance due on a loan of $4200. Mrs. Pritchard’s husband, who is now dead, borrowed that amlount from the association and took twenty-one and a half shares of its stock, which he was to pay up 1n weekly installments. He paid $1182, which the association acknowledges having received, and his wife claims he paid $1669, which Blank received and did not account for. The association is ready to acknowledge that Blank may have received and not ac- counted for this money, but claims that he in bis will left to Mrs. Pritchard an amount which offsets what- he appro- priated. On the cther hand Mrs. Pritchard. says that was simply a legacy and had nothing to do with the business of the Becurity Loan Association, Mrs. Pritchard was on the stand nearly all of yesterday afternoon and the matter is not yetsettled. ————— Two Insolvency Cases.
