THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1896. FIRST LOVE, THEN CARBOLIC ACID, Miss Mercedes Tisnado At- tempts to End Her Life. A MAN WAS THE CAUSE. SKBeh’eved She Was to Have Married A. de 1la Torre Jr. ANOTHER WOMAN IN THE CASE In Despair She Wrots a Letter and Swallowed a Dose of Poison. Mercedes Tisnado, a pretty little Span- ish girl 18 years of age, who resides with her sister at 1304 Powell street, was has- tened away to the Receiving Hospital in the ambulance last evening suffering from a dose of carbolic acid, a bad case of being hopelessly in love and a desire to die. Dr. Bunnell, by the use of a stomach pump, relieved her of the acid and the de- sire of an early death, and it is expected that she will recover from the second zom- plaint, As may be surmised there was a man in the case and the young lady said his name is A. de la Torre Jr., a Spanish interpreter at the Occidental Hotel. He is also a lieutenant in the Juarez guard. That she was deeply in love with the gallant young officer of the guard goes without saving, although she took occasion in writing and in speech to proclalm that that was what was the matter with her. Aiter the unromantic but necessary operaiion of being pumped out by a hos- pital surgeon had been completed, Miss Tisnado consented to tell her tale of woe, and how the one whom she loved the most had left her. According to her story, she met Mr. de la Torre about nine months ago, and from ner story they were both smitten with each other at the same time. To corrob- orate her statement the young lady dis- played the following letter, which she said was written by Mr, de la Torre, al- though the writer's name was not affixed to the epistle: _ My Dearest Little Angel: T write you these few lines in order to please you, &s you requested me 1o doso. Atthesame time I take the op- portunit ressing my sincere and ardent love for'you. Believe me, dear, sweet child, that since the very first moment 1 had the pleasure of gazing upon you my admiration was s great that I became deeply in love with you. Perhaps you may think I am a fool for writ- ing thus, but I could mot refrain irom ex- sing my sentiments toward you. Iadmire f beauty and your childish ways; tty, 50 sweet, S0 charming,so s ar, so_graceful, so true.; In fact y weeter than molasses cardy. Now you have it. I have expressed myself in plain’styie. Ihope you willdo the saine, and I'will anxiously await a reply. One of your unknown admirers. x If Miss Tisnado had any doubt on the subject the comparison to molasses candy settled ner mind and she was satisfied that he loved ber truly. Matters progressed so favorably that she understood that he wanted her to marry him and she was ]}erlamly willing to become Mrs. de la orre Jr. About the first of this month she be- came convinced that she was no longer his dearest little angel, and that the price of molasses candy had gone dowr in the market. She feared that he was calling another woman pretty, sweet, etc., and the thought nearly broke her heart. Last night she said she met M. de la Torre Jr. on the street, and from him she learned that all her dream of love was over, so she went home and, after writing the annexed leiter to her sister, took a tea- spoonful of carbolic acid and laid down to die: My Darling Sister: A. de la Torre Jr. has forced me to do all this. It is against my will. He has broken my heart since the Fourth of July. I justasleave die now as live. I have ady iold you I will die for him. He bas de- d me. Iwillnot say any more about my dear sweetheart, only that he is the cause of deatn. Keep his picture, my purse, my k handkerchief and the botile of perfume, my white waist on me. My gold ring is down on_Washington street. Take it ont and give it to Nita. Givemy purse to Manuel and my handkerchief to the little feliow, Juan de Gloss. God bless all my family and forgive my dear Torre and may he live long ana enjoy life. Good-by. Your poor, heartbroken, unfortunaie sister, % MERCEDES TISNADO. I am going with baby. Don’t worry, dear sister, as I am better off than all living on earth. Don't worry. 1 die happy. ee. you a everything. Give something for remembranc of me to Mary, Sal and aunty, up in the Tell them to forgive me. MERCEDES. The sister discovered the unfortunate voung woman's plight and had her sent country. to the Receiving Hospital, where the hysicians saved her life. She is not ikely to make the experiment again, bat will live just to spite de la Torre Jr., if nothing more. —_— BONNELL WAS DISMISSED There Was a Story of Discrep- ancy in Redington & Co. Books. The Firm Lost Nothing, but the Bon. nell Brothers, Manager and Cash- ier, Left the Store. Following the withdrawal of Allison C. Bornell from the position of manager of J. D. Redington & Co., the wholesale druggists, a rumor was current yesterday that there was something wrong in the firm’s accounts. The amount, so far as could be learned, was not less than $25,000. Last Tuesday Mr. Bonnell was at his desk, but at noon he left and did not re- turn, for his position was then made va- cant. Atthe same time James E. Bonrell, the cashier, and a brotimr of the manager, was dismissed. Allison Bonnell had been a trusted em- vloye of tbe firm for more than fifteen years, and it is said that so fully did he enjoy the confidence and esteem of his employers there was recently serious talk of making him a partner in the concern, James Bonnell declined to go into par- ticulars last night. He declared that his broiher and himself had withdrawn from the employ of Redington & Co. to RO into business for themselves, which they had intended to do almost imme- diately. But he refused to speak about the rumored discrepancy in the accounts. ““This whole business is absurd,” he added. “We parted from Redington & Co. in_the most cordial manner pos- sible. We were ths best of friends on leaving.” 3 Mr Redington told quite another story. “We lost no money through this % - matter,” he said. “We dismissed Mr. Bonnell and his brother because we found the boys were not attending to business.’ “But your relations were cordial ?'’ “Well, 1t is not likely that they woula be cordial when men are dismissed.” “Dia you find a shortage in the books?'* “'I must decline to say anything about that. Only we did not lose anything.” RELIEVING THE NEEDY. Report of a Week’s Good Work of the Associated Chari- ties. At the meeting of the Associated Chari- ties held at its rooms, 601 Commercial street, yesterday afternoon, the following report was received from the Registrar for the week ending July 17, 1896: New cases, 37; recurrent cases, 9. Total 46. Investigated for Cooper Coilege, 13; San Francisco Benevolent Society,7; subscribers, 9; Fruit and Flower -Mission, 4; foreign so- cieties, 3; British Beneyolent Society, 2; helpers, 8. P. C. C., St. Luke's Woman’s Auxiliary and St Vincent de Paul, 1each, 5; personal requests, 4. Total 46. B. P. Flint presided at the meeting, and Miss Fitch acted as secretary. Reports of numerous cases of destitution were made, to be looked after during the ensu- ing week. e YOSEMITE'S WORDERS. The Reduced Rates Attracting Sight- Seers to the Valley. By last evering’s train Excursion Man- ager Lo ke started his first party to Yosemite Valley under his recent ar- rangement, by which he has secured re- duced rates for those who join his select parties. The first party was composed entirely of ladies, and was accomvpanied across the bay by Mrs. Locke. The rate offered by Mr. Locke includes transportation for the round trip and all hotel accommodations en route and during a five days’sojourn in the valley, each party of five traveling by private carriage. Ladies and gentlemen { who desire to avail themselves of the re- duced rates should call at 333 O’Farreil street any weekday from 3to 9 p. M. AN ACTRESS AUCTIONEER, Miss Maxine Elliott Will Sell Seats for the Carnival Benefit. Prominent Mercantile Promising Support Festival. Organizations for the Miss Maxine Eiliott was waited upon by Colonel John O'Byrne, F. A. Haber, General Backus and 8. H. Friedlander of the exccutive committee of the Carnival of the Golden Gate yesterday with a view of securing her services to auction the boxes, loges and seats for the benefit at the Mer- chants’ £xchange Tueaday afternoon next. Colonel O’Byrne requested the privileze of being made spokesman, which was gladly accorded him by his companions. When the colonel was presented to Miss grace, cleared his throat, and proceeded to | compliment the lady ina manner which almost took hLis-breath away. Miss Elliott, howe7er, was more than a match for the gailant cologel and when she learned his object she very willingly con- sented to appear for once upon an auction | block. | Miss Elliott stated that she was only too glad to do anything possible for San Fran- cisco, in view of the magnificent reception accorded her by the people here, and said | that while she bad no experience in dis- posing of articles at anction she would do the best she could. She asked Colonel O’Byrne_if he would be her right-hand bower during the sale. The colonel blushed and said he would. With this as- surance Miss Elliott said she would do the best she knew how. “London Assurance” will be presented on Wednesday afternoon instead of Thurs- day, as heretofore announced. The change is made necessary by the departure of Miss Elliott for Australia on Thursday after- noon. Positively her last appearance will take place as Lady Gay Spanker in the comedy that will be presented. A bogus carnival button is about to be placed on the market, if assertions made at headquarters yesterday by certain rep- resentatives of an Eastern firm are correct. An attempt was made to sell an Eastern- made button to the committee, but as the carnival was gotten up for the benefit of California manufacturers and others, the button was rejected. These parties called at headquarters yes- terday and showed & button bearing a picture somewhat akin to the copyrighted design adopted by the executive committee on Monday night. The bogus button con- tains the words. *‘Mardi Gras, San Fran- cisco, 1896,” with the figure ofa manriding on a bear. Their offer to supply these buttons was refused and the representatives threatened to prevent the carnival committee issuing any, as they claim to have had their pic- ture copyrighted three months ago. The date specified by them is long before the carnival project was thought of in San Francisco. At a meeting of the California Hotel Men’s Association, held on Wednesday, a resolution giving their hearty support to the carnival project and agreeing to make a large financial contribution wasadopted. The hotel men are enthusiastic upon the proposition and have to answer daily many inquiries from visitors from the in- terior. A special invitation is being prepared to send to the principal officials of the State, queens and directors of carnivals in the interior, Governors of adjacent States, for- eign Consuls and others. The invitation will be a work of art and will be long treasured as a memento of the occasion. It has been suggested that the lady who may bo ulec‘tlegg 1o represent California may be chosen from the queens who have presided over the festivities in the interior towns. The populdr method of ballotin, may be adopted in order to afford candi- dates’ friends all over the State an oppor- tunity to express their choice. At 'a meeting of the California Hotel Men’s Association, held last Wecnesday, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the California Hotel Associa- tion extends its hearty thanks to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company for the favors granted in -idln)' this as tion to properly entertain the National Hotel Men's Mutual Benefit Association while they were on our coast last April. e . The Mary Buhne Libeled. { H. C. Groeper, Henry Smith, William H. Smith and Mrs. Peter Drucker, owners of the schooner Jennie Thelin, instituted suit in the United States District Court yesterday against the Mary Buhne for damages received in a collision off Humboldt Bay in June, 1895. The complaint alleges that the commander of the Mary Buhne did not kee; proper lookout, hence the accident. On Saturday last & suit was filed in the District Court by the Hum- boldt Lumber Manufacturing Association for salvage against the Jennie Thelin, ailezed to be due for services rendered her by-thelr tug. This assistance was rendered necess lg by the co:lision between the lin and the Buhne.

VETERAN OF THE FORCE For Twenty-Four Years Execu- tive of the Police Com- missioners. REUNION AND MERRYMAKING. Old Comrades Assemble at His Resi- dence to Wish Him Years of Happiness. Sergeant T. D. McKenna, executive officer of the Police Commissioners, and | his bride received the congratulations of their friends last night at their residence on Valencia street. The rooms were handsomely decorated in honor of the event, and were crowded all night long with captains, lieutenants, sergeants and corporals of the San Fran- cisco police. Many a gray-haired veteran who had seen years of active service on the force was thei. .0 shake the hand of his hon- ored comrade and wish him joy and con- tentment in his recent matrimonial ven- ture. The proverbial hospitality of Sergeant McKenna was happily illustrated last night, and good things were served with a lavish hand. The following guests were present: Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Moran, Miss Ella Moran, Mr. and Mrs. John E. Lewis, Robert A. Bald: ridee, Mics Louisa Baldridge, &, & Baidridge, Mr.and Mrs. John McHugh, Miss Ada Mo Hugh, Miss Katie McHugh, Miss Alice Mc- Hugh, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Donnelly, John M. Bowes, Captain H. M.

The Misses Agnes, Zeta and Josephine Fahey and John E. Fahey took s promi- nent part in entertaining with their vocal selections. Miss Anna Daly and Miss Ethel Bowes sang and Miss Bowes danced the Spanish dance. The Horseshoe Club was really the back- bone of the merriment, in fact, only one or two of the guests present were not members of this social organization. Ser- geant Cassius Wright played a violin solo, accampanied by bLis wife, and the song “Ben Bolt” was effectively rendered by Sergeant John W. Moffitt of the office of the Chief of Police. Serg;lnt McKenna, the office of the Board of Police Commis- sioners, is a veteran of the force. He came to this State in 1854, and for a number of years devoted his time to mining. Subse- quently he was in the hay and grain busi- ness on the old water front, and in 1872 | was_appointed to his present office, which | he hasalways retained with much honor. | In fact he took charge of the office when it was first created. He was a widower for nearly two years until last June, when he was married to Miss nces Forbes in Sacramento by Judge Catlin. Miss Forbes was widely known in San Francisco for the great interest she took in charitable work. THE LABOR COUNCIL. Musicians Dislike the Letter-Carriers’ Tactics.

With the iron-molders it was re- ported that business was picking up a little. $ It was complained by the Musicians’ Union that the letter-carrier musicians were injurionsly competing with the union men by playing free of charge, seemingly for the sake of advertising themselves. Relative to the use of linotype machines, the arbitration committee reported that if was useless to resist the inventive prog- ress of the age. It was also reported that the garment- workers were dominated by the bosses, or swealers, and that the time was ripe for the organization of a journeymen butch- ers’ union. ———— The Chut and Casino. The Casino at the Chuates has become an es. tablished place of amusement, and the per- formances every afternoon and evening are well attended. Virgima Aragon, the wonder- ful wire-walker, has become an immediate favorite, and her act is the most wonderful of its kind ever seen here. The Marlo-Dunham family continues to thrill with marvelous aerial flights, and Miss Viola Sheldon, & new soprano with a sweet voice, has made a hit. Al Hazard, a clever ventriloguist, gives a ver; amusiug entertain- ment with nis funny llm{ly of wooden folk.

The Sup:rvisors Asked to Compsl the Car Lines to Have Safety Devices. The Southern Pacific received another hard rap yesterday when a Coroner’s jury impaneled to inquite into the death of John Figone, who was killed by a Kearny- street car on Tuesday last, returned a ver- dict strongly censuring the railroad for not using proper fenders. Incidentally the Supervisors were asked to take some steps for the safety of the citizens. L. Hirst testified that the accident hap- pened abont seventy-five feet from the California -street crossing, and said he did not hear the motorman ring the bell. Officer Butterworth and Peter Pinochi said the front wheels of the car passed twice over the boy’s body. Crawford, the motorman, said he was looking nn\im ahead and did not see the boy until he struck. He reversed the current after guing about eight feet, causing ihe car to go back about three { feet, He was looking etraight ahead and did not see the boy, neither did he1ing | the bell. % The jury, afier being out something over an hour, returned the following ver- dicet: | “That John Figone came to his death through accident caused by his own care- lessness in having been run over by car 1103 of the Market-street Railway Com- pany, on Kearny street, between Sacra- mento and California, on July 14, 1896, at about 11:30 A. M., and we believe that t| fenders used on the said car and the c of the Market-street Railway Company and other systems of the City are faulty and lacking in the necessary construction requisite for the saving of human life in h cases. . sugwg‘ therefore, feel it is imperative that the Supervisors sbould compel the Market-street Railway Company and other street railway companies of San Francisco to adopt at once, in the interest of public safety, the Improvements so sadly needed. “V‘s further find that the motorman and conductor on said car No. 1103, at the time of said accident, were blameless.” ————————— Meeting of Republicans, Beveral representative Republicans of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District held a meet- ing at Mission Opera Hall, on Mission street, between Seventeenth and Eighteentn, last evening, at which Lbhloy org]ln‘l,nd the Indepen- ission Republican Club.

OUT AT THE CHUTES. The Scenic Railway Runs Better Now Than Before the Fire. The effects of the recent fire at the Chutes can hardly be seen now, and the big scenic railway is running much better than at first, it having been rebuilt in sev- eral places where defects existed. On the 14th of July it carried nearly 9000 pas- sengers and there was not an accident, a fact of which the management feels justly proud. The performances given every afternoon and evening in the big Casino are growing very popular, and the able featsof Vir- ginia Aragon, the wire-walker, and the daring Marlo-Dunham family, bring forth rounds of applause. Al Hazard is a clever ventriloquist, and Miss Viola Sheldon has a iiilno soprano voice which she handles well. To-morrow afternoon, in addition to the regular attractions, Robert Earlston will make a balloon ascension and parachute drop at half-past 4. ——————— THIRTY-FOURTH DISTRICT.

They intend to build a freight vessel this fall so that the ex- changes on the coast will be then independent of railway and steamship companies, In this City the directors are taking steps to start a lebt coilect- ing in merchandise or even labor, instead of the gold and silver with which it is impossibl e for 50 many now to pay their debts, To Pack Frait.
