McAuliffe came very near whipping Slavin in England, and as the latter is now said to be a complete back number Joseph should stand a fair chance of turning the tables on Patrick Francis. The proposed ten-round contest be- tween George Green (Young Corbett) ana Bob McArihur, the clever amateur, is off for the present. Green did not care to box McArthur for a small purse and refused the offer., The Olympic Club will try to arrange a_ten-round contest between George and Bob for the open entertain- ment at the Pavilion next month. Lavigne, who is now in this country, will be open for an engagement after he has had an opportunity of visiting his rela- tives. SRS ATHLETIC.

He Says Cigarmaker Samuel Oppenheimer Stole His Wife From Him. A MEXICO MINER'S STORY. Found Them Living Together in Ala- meda, and Says the Child Was | Poorly Dressed. T. W. Thompkins made a statement yesterday to a CALL reporter in which he admitted that he took his 10-year-old daughter, May, away from her mother’s home in Alameda the day before. He ! also began suit for divorce from his wife, who is known in Alameda as Mrs. Oppen- heimer. Mr. Thompkins tells the story of a| wronged husband. It goes back three years and covers a good deal of territory. Three years ago he went to Mexico to en- gage in the mining business. “Two years | ago I returned,” said he, “and found my | wife rooming at a house on Geary street, while 2 masculine friend of hers had a room acrossthe hall. When I founa her there I intended to get a divorce, but finally decided to overlook the matter for the sake of our lijtle girl. 1 found her a home in the family of Samuel Oppen- hexmer at Ban Jose and returned to Mexico. I have sent her money regularly since I have been in Mexic: “Oppenhbeimer is a cigarmaker. worked in Seattle before coming here, It was not long after my return to Mexico that I heard Oppenheirzer's wife had left him and that the only woman in the house was my wife. A week ago last Mon- day I retarned to San Francisco. I am now in the gold and silver mining busi- ness for myself at San Dimas, Mexico. My wife supposed that I thought she was stiil living in San Jose, but I found out that she and Oppenbeimer left there about four months ago, and have been living in Ala- meda. “I did not know where she was whea I first arrived here,” he went on, ‘‘and em- | ployed a detective to find her. Besides this, I have learned that they registered at the Lewis House in Watsonville, about ten months ago, as Mr. and Mrs. Oppen- heimer. I went over to Alameda day be- fore yesterday with Attorney Van Nos- trand, who served the papers in the di- vorce case. When he addressed her at| the door she said she was Mrs. Oppen- heimer. While I was standing some dis- tance away little Mary came out of the bakery. Seeing me she ran up and put her arms around my neck and kissed me. She was poorly dressed.* I told her to come with me, and she came right along. “I have spent between $50 and $60 in buying her new clotbes. She is in a secure and a comfortable place nowand is happy. I have never been served with a summons for divorce by my wife, and if she has secured a divorce 1 do not know it. I am confident she hasnot. The reason I took the child is that I heard my wife and Op- penheimer were going to Seattle, I shall not return to Mexico till my suit for divorce is decided.” In taking the child Mr. Thompkins acted on the advice of his attorneys, Judge W. H. Levy and Joseph P. Kelly. Mrs. Op- penheimer has applied to Chief of Police Crowley to recover the child for her, but Attorney Kelly says the Chief can do He Sarre; 2.3 1 10 Jiddiesex. 5 1 1 4 Lancashire. 3 2 0 6 In the last Gloucestershire-Somerset match Champion W, G.

PARADE ~ PREPARATIONS, laborate Decorations Along the Line of the Bicycle March. Large Banners Illuminated and Bear. ing Suggestive Legends Hang on the Corners. The committee on the bicycle parade and jollification on Folsom street, which will take place on the 25th inst., is making elaborate preparations for that event. The iltlumination and decoration will be both original and effective. A banner will be hung across Folsom street, at the inter- section of Eighth, which will be 8x25 feet in size. On this will be the legend in large characters “'FINISH FOLSOM STREET.” In front of it will be placed five electric lights. At the corner of Market and Eighth streets a similar banner will be hung, bearing on the Eighth-street side, *‘Finish Folsom street,” and on the side toward Market, ‘‘Repave Market street.” Ten electric lights will be hung to illuminate this banner. A gold medal will be awarded to the best mounted aid to the grand marshal, and a prize will be given to the most unique and original idea to illustrate the difference between the bitumen pavement and the cobbles, This must not be in the natare of a float. Much dissatisfaction has been engen- dered along the lower part of Folsom street, owing to the fact that the proces- sion will not go farther down than Sixth street. The committee states the reason for this is because the bicycles could not ride over the cobble-paved portion of Fol- som street south of Sixth, % A prize is offered by the South Side peo- le, independent of the parade, for the gest decorated house along the line of march. The Oity officials have been in- vited, and will receive a special invita- tion not only to be in the parade but to deliver short addresses indorsing the movement for good streets. ‘W. L, Williamson has offered to provide twelve handsome saddle-horses free of charge for the use of the Bupervisors in the parade. —————— LIABILITY OF CARRIERS. | approved. | with songs and recitations by W.

In the appeal in the case of the Cali- fornia Powder Works vs. the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, the judgment of the lower tribunal in favor of the de- fendant corporation has been affirmed by the Supreme Court. It appears that a carload of giant powder, property of the lpmlhnt‘ ‘was being con- veyed over the appellee’s railway line through Arizona. e powder exploded, killing two men, destroying the car in | 11 which it was placed and wrecking two others. Tnefowder company sought to be reimbursed for the loss of the powder, a claim which the railway company re- fused to admit, owing to a provision in the shipping contract exempting it from lia- bility for damage by ‘“‘fire from any cause whatsoever.” This view was sustained by the inferior tribunal, as was also the au- thority of an emploge of the plaintiff cor- poration to ship the powder under the conditions recited in the contract. It was held that the powder company could not recover the value of the powaer, and this ruling the Supreme Court has confirmed. STAND FOR PROTECTION The Austrian-American MeKinley Club Urges an Early Regls- tration. ' The Austrian-American McKinley Club met last night at its headquarters at 25 Tark street, . Morreno presiding. Secre- tary James J. Feely read ithe communica- tion from the State Committee in regard to registration, and strongly urged all citi- zens who had any fealty for-Republican faith and principles to register as quickly as possible. He was followed by Henry A.

An Eloguent Plea for the People’s Party by One of Its Devoutest Adherents. A knot of political luminaries had gath- ered in the Palace Hotel courtyard just after lunch vyesterday-and were in the miast of a deep and serious discussion as to the merits of the respective Presiden- tial candidates, when who should come along but George D. Gillespie, secretary of | the People’s party County Committee and State Executive Committee. *‘Hello, George,” called out one of the group, *‘what do you think of the letter in this morning’s Examiner from A, W, Thompson to T. V. Cator in refereuce to the inaorsement of Bryan for the Presi- dency by the People’s party 2"’ “I think,” answered Mr. Gillespie, draw- ing near and taking a comfortable oratori- cal position, “that Mr. Thompson made a serious mistake in naving his letter pub- lished. While it may have been difficult for him to keep silent upon the subject of destroying the People’s party, ana entirely abandoning its most sacred principles, it would have been better if he had sent his letter in the usual way through the mail to Mr. Cator at 8t. Louis, instead of giving it to him second hand in the nature of & stump speech through a newspaper. “I feel sorry indeed to.learn that Mr Thompson’s mind does not run along the same lines in regard to fusion, or, I might more properly say, disorganization of the People’s party, as does the general opinion in the County Committee. “In 1892 some gentlemen undertook to turn the People’s party ot S8an Francisco into a non-partisan movement, and they were sorely rebuked; and I fancy after the | | National convention there willi be some | woo will wish they had kept quict just a The Temporary Postoffice, as It Will Appear From the North Elev- tion. dquare feet.

There will as usual be two games df ball played in this City to-morrow, one at the Presidio grounds and one at Sixteenth and Folsom streets. At the former place the Californias and Pacifics will meet and at the latter the new Oakland team will play the San Franciscos. There will also be a game at the Folsom- street grounds this afternoon.

The three teams are piaying fast ball, and because of the training and changes that have bsen made the lovers of the game will be treated to an exhibition to-morrow that will be well worth witnessing.

OVERWORKING HIS MEN. A Complaint Filed With the Labor Com- missiover Against Contractor Murphy at the Prasidio. Martin Nightwine, employed by Con- tractor Murpby, who has taken the con- tract from the Government to reclaim the marsh lands at the Presidio, filed a com- plaint yesterday with Labor Com missioner Fitzgerald, stating that the contractor is working his men ten hours a day. “This is in direct violation of his contract,” said Deputy Dam yesterday. *We have no jurisdiction over Federal work, but we will notify the quartermaster’s depart- ment of the state of affairs, who are un- aware that the men are working longer than eight hours. The department is very much in favor of the eight-hour sys- tem, and it is likely that it may cost Con- tractor Murphy dearly for violating his contract in this manner.” The reports from the trade unions re- - quired by the Labor Commissioner have been received from nearly every locality in the State except San Francisco. The Commissioner has written to every county Assessor in the State to forward a copy of the report he sends the Board of Equaliza- tion. These reports are not coming in fast enough. Thirty-eight counties have filed statements of the articles of incor- poration filed with them last year. In the empioyment office business is getting very brisk, an average of thirty men being sent out daily. Three big .ditch contracts have been awarded in the mountain mines, and large numbers of men are being sent to this locality. A ordercamedown to thebureau for forty woodcutters, at wages from $1 25 to $1 50 a day. 2 This year there have been less fruit- pickers required than ever hefore. Hop- pickers also have been little in demand. DAOP IV ASSESSHENTS Outside Lands South of the Park Cut Nearly a Third. Wells, Fargo & Co. Asking for a Reduction- on the Valuation of Their Property. The Board of Supervisors sitting as the Board of Equalization determined yester- day to finish up its business and report to the State board on Monday. Mr. Benjamin made a motion for an extension of ten days, but afterward with- drew it. The business before the board was sreaily reduced by the statement;made by Deputy Assessor Briggs that the assess- ment on nearly all the lands south of the park was excessive. The valuation, he said, had been based on sales made several years ago. There have been no sales lately and nothing to base the valuation upon, and in the bhurry of the early part of the year to fix the valuation and to get ready for the levy the valuation had been fixed as stated. He thought it an error of judgment tnat sh ould be corrected. Mayor Sutro was present, and before the Deputy Assessor nad been heard from m ade a statement to the effect that the va luation was excessive and thought a cut of 50 per cent was about right. The board reduced the assessment 30 per cent. A great many applications had been filed for reductions from this district and this general cut shortens up the busi- ness considerably. A reduction had been made for a large part of the district and the Deputy Assessor’s suggestion applies to property lying west of First and Forty- ninth avenues and between M and W streets. Ex-Judge R. Y. Hayne appeared before the board asking for a reduction of the $32,000 assessment on the furniture in the Parrott residence, at 517 Sutter street. _assessment last year was $5000, and or, on the ground that there & full return last year, had ment for t at also to the .- This Mr. Hayne de- He believed there t of the property, the property was %.

Should the Baumann Brothers lose thirty out of their herd of fifty-eight cows it means bankruptey to them, and many others feel that their fate may be similar unless some provision is made for remu- nerating them for the cows killed. It is with this idea in view that they de- sire a meeting with the health authorities, The matter will not end here, however, for the dairymen have determined on an appeal to the next Legislature for relief and pay for the cows that are killed, and the National legislators may even be askea to passlaws for the relief of those who suffer loss through the tests of health authorities. e — S. LAZAR'S FINANCIERING, A Madera Judge Prevented His Return to This City as a Prisoner. On July 15 two warrants were sworn out for the arrest of Sol Lazar, on complaint of Charles R. Haven, for obtaining goods by false pretenses. The comvlaint states that Lazar went to Murphy, Grant & Co. and represented that he was & merchant at Grass Valley and had $11,000 worth of stock, besides $8500 clear of all debts. Upon this repre- sentation he purchased a bill of goods amounting to $855. He told the same story 10 Bu!nl:;gvt. Kalisher & Co. and ob- tained goods worth $159. These were shipped to Grass Valley, and then by Lazar reshipped to Madera.

The Japanese drugs, familiarly known as the “Goto remedy” for leprosy, have come like a ray of warm sunshine to the cheerless, hopeless leper hospital on Twenty-sixth street. Itisnow little more than two weeks since this novel factor in medicine was apolied to the lepers of San Francisco’s Pesthouse, and already new life has come to the unfortunate lepers. The one absorbing topic of conversation is the Goto cure. Its praises are spoken on the steps of the miserable shed, where the lepers are imprisoned, in bhalf a dozen dif- | ferent languages, and the patient sufferers | themselves betray their feelings in the brightness of eve and lightness of spirit to which they were long strangers. The utter abandoa of hope was even more dreadful than the very loathsome- ness of their disease, but now a new hope has inspired them to dreams of recovery, to live again in the sunshine and be part of the world itself. For some of them as- | sert that the remedy has eased the con- | stant burning peculiar to their affliction. and otherwise alleviated the multitud nous pains. Even more, under the influ- ences the process of healing has begun to show itself. Dr. A. P. O'Brien, City Physician, paid an official visit to the leper hospital yester- day. - The lapers greeted him with smiles, for they were all happy and apparently contented. In reply to his questions as to how the Goto remedy acted on them they said it had done them much good so far. And their faces, cruelly distorted and in many cases revolting, beamed with the relief of encouragement it afforded. “They claim to be a great deal more comfortable,”’ remarked Dr. O’Brien. “Isit not imagination?” *“No, not altogether. In two cases in particular, the worst cases by the way, tu- bercular leprosy, the patients claim that the sensation of burning of feet and differ- ent portions of the skin has been relieved. Allpatients seem to think that their appe- tites have improved and they feel more or less invigorated. Of course it is too soon to say if there is any change. They claim only an extremely palliative effect for the remedy, but not a cure. All the nodular condit{uns of the skin are disappearing. I must say they do not npgear as angry as before. To get a thorough idea of jts effi- ciency it takes three or four months’ steady application. Old Annie saysshe is going 10 get well and is delighted over the pros- pects.” Lena Grimm, the young girl from Ukiah who was received at the hospital last Sun- day, has settled down to her dreary life in ber living prison. She appeared stoical about her affliction yesterday, but felt de- pressed over parting with her father, who spent an hour at the Pesthouse before leaving for his ranch in Mendocino County. Lena did not know of the Goto remedy, which may not be tried in her case as the resent supply is too small for general use. B‘or an experiment, however, it is being carefully used on several patients, and the results are watched with interest. The Police Force Fund for Widows and Orphans Will Come in for Some Benefit The celebration of the one hundred and seventh anniversary of the Fall of the Bastile will benefit charitable societies to the extent of about $1500. . The finance committee, consisting of P. A. Bergerot, J. Lambla and J. Bayle, as well as Treasurer J. Godeau, have been hard at work for two days gathering in the receipts from outside ticket-sellers. The total receipts so far are a fraction under $2500, out of which bills amounting to nearly $1000 wiil have to be paid. As soon as these liabilities are all in and audited by the finance committee they will be liguidated, and on to-night week the general committee will vote on which charities (and in what amounts) will be beunefited. The usnal donation to the fund for the widows and orphans of the Police Depart- ment wiil be made, La Societe de Bienfaisance des Dames Francaise wili receive the major part of the surplus. It is really the only out-and- out charitable orcanization among the ‘l;rench, Mrs. Sylvain Weill being its presi- ent. An anrnprIation is also to be made to- ward the fund established to provide for the poor members of the French Hospital Society in the event of their falling short in hospital fees when sick. L’Alliance Francaise, that organization founded that the French language might be taught gratis to the chi%dren in the public schools, will likewise receive a share of the money spent by patriotic Frenchmen and their American friends. —————————————————— NEW TO-DAY.

This is Varicocele in the veins of the vital parts. It is perhaps the most dangerous of the many results of early indiscretions. It drains the vital pow- ers in that slow, treacherous manner which leaves no sign of its terrible effect until the awful work is done—until the whole ‘merve force, the foundation of mental, physical and vital strength, lis undermined and manhood destroyed. Doctors have tried levery known means in their attempts to cure it,and have usually 'given it up with the advice that it will not be a serious matter. But this is only their way of excusing themselves for their help- lessness. It is a serious matter, as is proven by the thousands of {physical wrecks it has caused. But it can be cured by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. SAN FRANCISCO, June 18, 1898. TO THOSE S8UFFERING FROM VARICOCELE:— I would like to add my testimony to numerous others i ossession of Dr. San- den’s Electric Beit Co. I'purchased a No. 7 Belt from Dr. Sanden about the first of April, which I used according to directions, and after three montis’ trial [ am bappy to state that my varicocele, which was of twelve years’ standing, has almost entirely disappeared, and the veins and parts are almost normal. I take great pleasure in recommending this belt to any one suffering from a like trouble. Respectfully yours, WM. E. JOHNS, 1139 Market Street There is not another remedy in the world to-day which has received the favorable men- tion that has been given Dr. Sanden’s Elec- tric Belt. In many forms of disease and weakness in both men and women it has proven effective and deserves a trial. Full information aad price list in the book, “Three Classes of Men,”| free.
