Slavin is matched to ficht big Joe McAuliffe under the auspices of the Occidental Club in September. BASEBALL UPHEAVAL. A Team of the City League Deserts and Jolns the State Organ- ization. There was an upheaval in local baseball circles yesterday. The California Club of the City League withdrew from thator- entered the California League ranks. The change came in the nature of a surprise to Manager Rock- well, who was preparing to bill the bolters for a game at Presidio Park on Sunday. The City League, since its inception two months ago, has undergone several changes. There were origmnally three clubs, the Pacifics, Imperials and Cali- fornias. Later, the all-Oakland team, | managed by Tip O'Neill and Lou Hardie, was admitted. The latter, however, with- drew after playing one game and joined the State League. Now the Californias have foliowed them. Despite this fact, however, Manager Rock- was rather poorly dressed, applied at the | well is by no means discouraged.

She paid 25 cents and was assigned to a rather furnished apartment. There was nothing in the appearance of the young woman to indicate either sui- cide or bad health.. At noon yesterday she had not risen, and as no response came from the room when the door was rattled the landlady became much alarmed and forced an en- trance into the room. Oop the floor was - found the body of the dead woman. Shewas fully dressed, but there was nothing to indicate astruggle. From out- ward appearances death seems to have come from natural causes. On the floor near the body wasa sheet of writing paper, ‘ which, under the microscope, showed the | following: *‘322—12 st.”” Just under this| appeared the letters: ‘‘Sur—Sull.” The figures and letters had been evidently scratched with a pin. James Royal, who keeps a grocery under the room occupied-by the girl, says that during the night he heard a fall, followed by moaning. He thought it was a chair or some heavy object, and paid no atten- tion to it, Mrs. Pinkerton is the mother of two children, who are inmates ot the Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society in the Western Ad- dition. Her husband, who is now in the East, contributed nothing toward the sup- port of his family and the young woman was forced to gain a livelihood for herself and babies. Up to afew days ago she was employed 8s a domestic at 808 Filbert street. She left that position and went to live with her sister-in-law, Mrs. Hendricks, 322 Twelfth street. She appeared to be despondent, and 1t is presumed that during one of these spells she went to the lodging-house and committed suicide. " THE PUGS MO PURSE and Will Not Meet Choyn- ski in This City. | Charley Mitcheil Will Bex the Irish Champion in New York City. There is very little prospect of Maher eand Choynski meeting in this City under the auspices of any local athletic organiza- tion. Yesterday afternoon Connolly and Maher held a conference with some of tie directors of the Olympic Club, and after discussing pugilistic matters for some time Connolty said positively that unless he was guaranteed a purse of $6000 he would not consent to a contest between Joe and Peter. The club offered him $3500 casb down and an equal division of the net receipts, but Connoily shook his head and replied in the negative. When Director Short saw that it was only a waste of time totry and induce Maher's manager to accept anything short of a $6000 purse, he calied the meeting adjourned permanently. When Connolly returned to the Bald- win Hotel he was handed a message from bis partner in businegs, John J, Quinn, which read: “Get Choynski for™ New York. Charley Mitchell will box Mah p four rounds.” ““That settles the question,”’ briefl y re- torted Connoliy,as he jammed the mes- sage into his vest pocket. ‘‘You see everything is all O K for September, and. we will pull $10,000 nouses in New York. **We would be foolish to accept a small purse in this City and take chances. of los- . inent amateur clubs to step into the place left vacant by the Californias, and has de- cided to give *'The Calls’’ a chance. They :m cross bats with the Pacifics next Sun- ay, The State League, too, has not been without its vicissitudes. The San Jose team proved a very weak one, and when O’Neill’s Oaklands joined the league the old Oakland team replaced the Garden City men. ven now they are hardly able to cope with eiter the San Franciscos, new Oak- lands or Stocktons, so there will now be a general mix-up. The players of the Californias will be bunched with those of the teams of the State League and three new clubs chosen from the lot, thus keep- ing the number of clubs at four. This will necessarily strengthen all of them. The change will not cripple anybody, and the usual games will be played at both the Presidio Park and at the Folsom- street grounds on Sunday. There will alsc be a contést at the latter place to. morrow, HOPES THAT WERE VAIN The Fruitless Working and Waiting of Miss Maria B. Owens. After Fifteen Weary Years She Finds She Cannot Ciaim a Promised L-gacy. Maria B. Owens is a disappointed, dis- gusted woman, for she has had to stand the loss of no less than $20,000, for which the has been working and waiting for fif- teen years. In 1881 Lawrence McNally, a single man of 54 years, and of fine address withal, dawned upon the Owens’ homestead in Michigan. There he met the confiding Maria. The result of their meeting wasa contract, by the terms of which Maria was to go and live with Lawrence, take care of him and manage his domestic affairs until death. Lawrence on his part claimed to have $20,000, which he promised to leave to Maria in his will if she kept her part of the contract. And so Maria Owens left her home and kin in Michigan and devoted herself to McNally. She worked early and late, kept his house neat as a pin and his clothes in prime condition, but Lawrence repaid her by taking a wife. Then Lawrence died and died intestate, but he was not long dead when the case of Maria B. Owens against Alice McNally, administratrix of the estate of Lawrence McNally, deceased, made matters lively for the lawyers. Lawrence's estate was found to pe worth considerable more than $20,000, consisting of real and personal Bmp.t"y' for the most part in Humboldt ounty. The court decided against Maria. [s Wwas heid that the deceased had never de- @ared or acknowledged the alleged con- tract in any definite manner. She ap- pealed and all she gained was another decision, rendered yesterday, to the same effect as the first. ————— Gentlemen Roadmen.

THE SAN FRA WILL FIGHT THE - FUNDING BILL. The Cemmittee of Fifty Renews Its Attack With Vigor. DEMANDS FORECLOSURE. Henry E. Highton to Prepare an Address to the Government. ATTITUDE OF CANDIDATES. Nominees for Congress Will Be Asked for Their Indorsement of the Popular Battle. The citizens’ committee of fifty on the funding bill metin the office of Mayor Sutro yesterday. Those' present were the Mayor, Henry E. Highton, James H. Barry, J. M. Bassett, G. W. Monteith, George K. Fitch, J. C. Jordan, W. M. Coward, N. C. Hawkes, Joseph Leggett and L J. Truman. Mayor Sutro occupied the chair. The Mayor stated that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss some mode of procedure with the object of defeating the funding bill. He digressed to discuss sil- ver,and in his talk on the subject saia: “I'm in favor of free coinage, but am absolutely opposed to 16 to 1. That would be a public calamity. That is a matter for legislation—the people cannot regulate it, while Congress can.” Henry E. Highton gave an outline of what he proposed- in the fight against the bill. He would show that the law justified foreclosure of the funding bill. The most extreme difficulty the United States Supreme Court -could find itseif in, he added, would be an effort to escape a law so well defined and understood. He thought that a committee should be estab- lished for the purpose of concentrating on the funding bill and of strengthening public sentiment throughout the State. There should also be a committee to at- tend to the Congressional nominees and to Congress generally. *‘I woald not vote for the best man in the State,” he added, “if he were not pledged to fight this fund- ing bill.”” r. Highton made a motion that a memorial be prepared and submutted to the President praying for foreclosura. Bassett amended in the interest of E:ompt and direct work, saying: “It is st we should understand this thing now. These corporations get their members of Congress wherever they can find them. It makes no matter what the political com- vlexion of the man is. As an amendment to Mr. Highton’s motion I offer that Mr. Highton be appointed a committee of one to cite precedents and quote the law show- ing that the Government has the right to foreclose the funding bill and present it ir the form of a brief or memorial to the law department of the Goverument.”’ The amendment was seconded with en- thusiasm. ~ Mr. Highton asked for time in which to prepare the address, as he was overworked and about to take a much- needed vacation. The amendment was carried unanimously. A motion was made by Highton that a commuittee of five be appointed to see the nominees for Congress throughout the Stateand learn from them their attitude on the funding bill, and assist only those who favor foreclosure. The motion was carried. James H. Barry, George K. Fitch, Joseph Leggett, L J. Truman and W. M. Coward were selected. Mr. Leggett asked if the idea was to op- pose any man who was not friendly to the fight. He was told that the committee could go to work and after the next meet- ing that question could be decided. Monteith moved that a committee of three be appointed to draft a petition against refunding in any form and to sub- mit it to legislative candidates for their signatures. He suggested two propositions—one that the signers are opposed to any and every scheme of refunding, and the other that they demand the foreclosure of the debt immediately. “We can stand by the two propositions made by Mr. Monteith till the cmck of doom,’” said Leggett. * don’t want to appear as extremists. WHat we shounia do is to stand by what is just and right.” He seconded the motion. Basselt’s name was suggested to the chair for this committee, *‘Obg no,” exclaimed he, “that would never do. Tam acandidate for Congress myself. But I believe that every candi- date should indorse this petition.” Monteith’s motion was amended so that he was appointed a committee of one to prepare the petition. This done the deliberations of the com- mittee changed to election matters. The Mayor said he saw the bands of Huntington and the ‘“‘octopus” in local affairs in the coming elections. *“The fact is that heretofore through their boss sys- tem they have absolutely run local affairs,’: he said. “We are all vitally in- terested in this as citizens. This wretched precinct registration—there is where the fanlt comes in. We should demand a fair election, and I would like to have some advice on this question. Thefact is 1f tnis precinct registration is not watched we will be in the rame box as ever we were. There are & lot of wandering vagabonds who under different names register in dif- ferent precincts and thus defeat the ends of a fair election.” Monteith said be believed that if a great mass-meeting were held in the interest of an honest elecsion much good could be done. What was badly needed was a watch on the polls from the hour they openand a watch on the ballots till they are locked up in the kegistrar's safe. He held that if the committee of fifty would get the peo ple together in a mass-meeting it could undoubtedly secure an honest election under the law. Highton tcld how he had been twice at the Registrar’s office to register, had spent an hour and a_half waiting, but could not wait longer. 'He had written to Registrar Hinton asking if he would be distranchised through the incompetency of the office. In this letter he suggested an amenament to the law that would entitle 8 man to vote without registration before every election. Only infcase of change of residence he sug- gested the necessity of ngistntion. Truman held quite ifferent opinion. “Men change their residences for the ‘be- yond,”” he said, “and their names are voted.” He declared that considerable blame lay at the door of the Registration Office—in the incompetency of clerks who frequently consumed fifteen minutes in registering onfi voter. taxe z 0 action was n on the matter, and the committee adjourned to the call of the chair, S———— I3 FRE FROM DEBT. Unilon-Square Free Baptist Church Cele- brates Its Finaneial Liberation. 1 will sing praises unto my God.—Ps. 148:2, Members of the Union-square Free Bap- tist Church, Bush street, near Larkin, met Wednesday evening and had a song and thanksgiving over the raising of jubilee of | Jia be NCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, about $1000 of church debt.

Meserve announ that he wasso tempora:ly fortunate as not to be depend- ent on his salary as pastor for support, and at the quarierly meeting which fol- lowed he declared he would not accepta cent of salary until after taxes and all other bills against the church were paid. This announcement was received with astopishment by the congregation, which, however, is determined to see that their pastor’s experimental plan does not come g\_lt on the wrong side of the ledger for im. .

DONOVAN. WAS IGNORED, Credentials of a Buckley Demo- crat Quietly Placed on File. The Election Commissioners Appoint Officers in Two More Dis- tricts. Yesterday's sessions of the Election Commissioners were calmer than any that have been held for some time past because Mayor Sutro was not present and Auditor Broderick was permitted to transact his share of the busiuess in peace and quiet- mess. City ana County Attorney Creswell pre- sided in the absence of the Mayor, and when M. J. Donovan presented his cre- dentials as the representative of the Buck- ley Democrats he announced that they would be placed on file. Joseph Rothschild objected, saying that he hoped some definite action would be taken. “We will take.some action at our pleasure,” said Creswell. “‘Oh, let them ignore it if they want,” said Donovan. “We would like you to take action now,”’” said Rothschild. “We will doso at our pleasure,” said Creswell. The credentials went on file. Max Popper of the Junta sent in a com, munication objecting on various grounds to a number of officers already appointed. ‘The accused will be cited to appear before the commission to-day to swer the charges, Election officers were appointed as follows: THIRTY-SIXTH ASSEMBLY DISTRICT.

Hortense Nielsen Will Be- gin Her Career in August. TO PLAY HIGH COMEDY Her Ambition Is to Portray the Heroines of Shake- speare. DAUGHTER OF AN ACTOR DANE Her Father Played “Hamlet” With Fame in the Land Where the Ghost Walked. Charming and petite Hortense Nielsen, daughter of a long line of ancestry famous on the Continent for histrionic talent, has Her Debut in This City in August, and Her Sister, Miss Alice Nielsenm, the Successful Grand Opera Singer of the Tivoli. passed through the trying ordeal of study— the preparatory stage—and will make her debut on the real stage of footlights, bouquets and fame August 19. Miss Nielsen aspires to high comedy roles, and with good reason. Her work so far in this line has called forth the most flattering criticism. She has, in fact, been compared even at this early period of her career to Julia Marlowe. There is marked resemblance of face, tigure and action be- tween the two, Miss Nielsen has the white skin and golden hair of the Danish women. Her father was & Dane and played Hamlet in the country of Hamlet’s birth. She is vivacious and winsome and has a fine voice. She will be assisted by her sister, Alice Nielsen, who has sung with so much suc- cess at the Tivoli and who has been en- gaged as prima donna for the Bostonians during the coming season. Miss Nielsen will also be supported by some of the best talent of San Francisco, the debut to be given either at the Auditorium or at the Metropolitan Temple. “I want the people of San Francisco to like me,”’ said she yesterday. *‘I have studied loni and hard in this City, and I want to make my start here. I shall give probably the balcony scene and the poison scene from ‘Romeo and Juliet.’ I love Shakespeare, and- is my ambition to play in some of his Somedies. “I guess the love of the stage was born in me, I recited at concerts when only a little girl, and I intend’—she continued emphasizing her statement with a little starop of the fcot—''to succeed. After my debut here I shall go East with my sister and join some company there.” Miss Nielsen has had offers from two good companies, but prefers to wait until she can make her debut in San Francisco, DEEUS. OF HUMAN BRUTES Cases of Cruelty Yo Horses Seem to Be Greatly on the Increase. One of the Animals Is Lucky Enough to Be Released From Misery "by a Pistol. Cruelty to horses seems to be the fad of the hour, the number of cases reported yesterday at the office of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals being unusually large and of a peculiarly aggravated type. A fruit peddler known as Mike Blumen- thal, 26 years of age, has been driving an animal fully as old as himself, which might once have been a horse, but which when seen yesterday looked more like the ghost of a four-footed scarecrow. The beast’s leif fore foot and leg were hor- ribly swollen and were disfigured by sores. Officer George Delmer took the unbappy animal to a stable on Golden Gate avenue, where a pistol shot soon ended its suffer- ings. It took the officer an hour and a balf to lead the sutfering brute from the corner of Sansome and Market streets, ‘where it was found, to the spot where a merciful death relieved its misery. t of a scavenger, who refused to tell his name, giving in lien thereof the convenient pseudonym of John Doe. This amiable individual bas been persistently driving a lame horse for some time past. Repeated warnings having no effect, the horse was yesterday taken in charge and conveyed to the police stables for treatment. Third on the list is a man named East- wood, the keeper of a on Victoria street, near Broad. This man, who.would ‘seem to be of an -n‘nonlml u:":n ‘:l x:ill:(:,. has been reported for turni no le :::n nnn‘yhgn;n to starve after working m eath. ‘“There are more cases here," said Secre- tary Holbrook, indicating a pile of blanks beside him, ‘‘but (hg re all alike. I wonder if a revival of the old-time '"hlp- ping post ’orud help matters a little. B Stephen Wing’s Estate.

NOT YET A POLICEMAN. Fred Lawrence Wants Thomas Calla- han Arrested for Getting 8250 From Him by Trickery. Fred Lawrence, 514 Hayes street, ap- peared in Judge Low’s court yesterday and asked for a warrant for the arrest of Thomas Callahan, an ex-policeman, on the charge of grand larceny by trick and device. Lawrence said that he was eager to be- come a member of the Police Department and Cailaban learned of it. Thev talked the matter over and Callaban offered to get his brother-in-law, Ea Lanigan, the prominent politician, to use his influence with the Police Commissioners on pay- ment of $250. Lawrence alleges that on October 17 last year he gave Callaban the money. Lawrence is not vet wearing the blue uniform with brass buttons, and says that | on making inquiry he found that Callahan | and Lanigan had not been on speaking terms for years. < Prosecuting Attorney Madden decided to withhold issuing the warrant until he made an investigation into the matter. Callaban several months ago was ar- rested on complaint of Lanigan for failure to support his wife and family. The case was heard by Judge Conlan, and it was shown that Callaban had been spending his earnings on other women, leaving his wife and family to be supported by Lani- gan. Callab agreed to contribute to their support and the case was dismissed. Lanigsan beard on several occasions that Callahan had been using his name without authority and reported the matter to the roliu. He says he would gladly see Cal- ahan in the penitentiary, and will assist in his prosecution. .. An Old-Horse Sal. The regular quarterly sale of unclaimed property was held at the Appraisers’ building on Washington street Wednesday. The articles offered by the auctioneer varied from a case ot temperance pamphlets to_ a dozen quart bottles of wine. The former had a foreign yal- uation of $70, but the home price was fixed at 7 50. The case 86id for $11. A box of dead r brought 5 cents. In all twenty-seven packages were offered m;fi\e, the prices paid ranging from & nickel o §11. <& A S R e oy KUNG CHOW'S STRTEMENT Denies That He Is Responsible for the Murder of Lee i Ex.Consul-General Lee Yung Yen Ignorant as to the Cause of the Troub’'e. Lee Ti, a Chinese clam-dealer, was mur- dered while standipg in the doorway of 35 Waverly place a few days ago. The fol- lowing morning Ock Wah, a highbinder whose hands are crimson with the gore of many victims, was arrested on suspicion of being the assassin and charged with the crime. That Lee Ti is dead and Ock Wah is behind prison bars are undisputed facts, but the causes which led up to the cowardly murder remain unknown. Various theories regarding the causes of the assassination bave been advanced by the police, but it is evident that all have been erroneous. There is without doubt & woman 1n the case, but how or why a re- ward of $1000 bas been offered for the lives of Joe Gar and Lee Mee Toy remains un- explained. As was first presumed, the trouble over the appointment of a Woooy Leong man, by the twelve directors of the Kung Chow Association, has no connection whatever with the murder. That appointment was a trivial affair. The directors of the Knng Chow Associa- tion emphaticaliy deny that the trouble in their association was in any way responsi- ble for the murder of Lee Ti. The trouble in the ranks of the Kung Chow Association originated in the deatn of Chin Look, a &'oooy Loeng man. Yune Hing, the Chinese Consul, notified the Kung Chow Association tvhat the vacancy must be filled. The twelve directors of that company intended to select a man and then nosity the Consul as to the man appointed, that he mignt approve of their selection. At this period, however, the.directors of the Kung Chow aver Lee Mee Toy and Joe Gar, then members of the association, ob- jected to the society’s selection and named Leong Sam as a capablg man to fiil the vacant position. P They wanted the directors to nrioint ng Sam without conferring with the Consul, but the directors heeded not their wishes. About ten days ago during an ar- gument over the appointment Lee Gong made a verbal assault on Lee Lun Yuen, sident of the Kung Chow Association. Yip Dock immediately defended the president and a hot wordy war followed. A few days later Lee Gong met Lee Yip Dock on the street and assaulted him, the former being arrested on a charge of as- sault. Lee Mee Toy and Joe Gar then signed bonds for the release of Lee Gong and retained counsel to defend him. This angered the directors of the Kung Chow Association, and \the two agitators were expelled from its ranks.
