10 JHE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 1896. DEMOCRACY'S NEW BUNKD GAME The State Fusion Committee Named by Chairman Alford. IT HAS TROUBLES AHEAD Populist Suspicions Increase and Fusion Prospects Daily Decrease. DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE ALL. Withdrawal of the Populist Nominee Demanded in the First and None Want Watson. Chairman Alford of the Democratic State Central Committee last night named the delayed conference or fusion commit- tee which has such a hard job ahead of it. This interesting committee is as follows: M. F. Tarpey, Alameda, chairman; Eugene N. Deuprey, James G. Maguire, M. C. Has- sett, San Francisco; Woodson Gerrard, Calaveras; A. Caminetti, Amador; W. H. Alford. Chairman Alford was made a mempoer of the committee by the resolu- tion creating it. 1t is easier to appoint a committee to play the game with the Populists, and the silverites, too, than it will be to finish the game without the display ot bowieknives. The leaders of both the Populist and Democratic parties talk very discreetly and kindly about fusion and about each other when they are being interviewed for publication, but beneath the sur- fage there is so much distrust, double-dealing and so noticeable a disposition on the part of the Democracy to “hog” things that the prospects are that there wiil not only be here a merry row and exhibitions of bitterness such as have preceded the party alliances formed in some other States, but a tangle that will destroy all chances of fusion with the Populists in California. : Tre inchoate fusion proposition now in- formally being studied by the Democratic and Populist leaders inyolves fusion on electors, Congressmen and legisiative can- didates. But there are various things in the way of carrying out this programme, or any part of it. The First District, in which the Demo- cratic Congressional Convention met yes- terday, is a sample of how Congressional fusion’ will go. There ex-Congressman Thomas J. Geary controlled a proxy convention, through the possession of proxies. Prison Director Wilkins was one of the district powers allied with Geary. Geary and his friends are admunistration goldbugs, and, though they appointed a conference committee, the ultimatam they informally gave out was that if there was to be any fusion the Populists must first ull down their candidate, George W. Monteith, and declare the field open. Mr. Monteith was nominated by the Populists about three montis ago, has put in much labor for the cause, has the con- fidence of the party and possesses the support of a large laboring element. But the Democrats ask a new deal, in which they can win what there is to be had. They make a bold effort to use the Popu- list party as a catspaw to pull out chest- nuts which they would have no earthly chance of getting without Populist help. There was indignation last night among the leading Populists of this City when the resuit of the Napa convention became known, and there was consternation among the Democratic leaders as they foresaw the probable effect on the entire fusion play. In no Congressional district have the Democrats shown any disposi- tion to consider the Populists except to ask them why they should not get in and back up the Democratic nominee. But in no district have the Democrats putup a man whom' the Populists who respect their principles could ind rse. In the matter of electors the Democrats demand Sewall and sneerat Watson. “[t makes little difference what the Populist committee agrees to do, for enough Populists will vote for Bryan and Bewall to carry the ticket anyway,” may be heard from the lips of leading Demo- crats almost hourly. “Tue Democracy shows a disposition to fuse with the Populists on the electoral ticket if the Populists will down Watson, either directly or through a game which would amount to the same thing. “The Democrats are trying to play a con- fidence game on us, but I don’t think that ovr people will have it,”” said one of the best-known members of the Populist party yesterday. Another piece of pertinent politicai wis- dom was uttered yesterday by an active Democrat of State reputation, who was heard to say: “Well, our people ought to fuse for up to three months ago the Demo- cratic party was so dead that it stank, and if things bad gone a little differently at Chicago the Populists would bave polled a bizger vote than we would in this State.” But now that the Populists have in- dorsed Bryan at their National Conven- tion the Democracy shows a disposition to consider itself entitled to about every- thing, and to wag the Populist party as though it wers a rather small tail. The California Populist is just getting safely suspicious of the smooth Democrat who is running s bunko game. LT JUNTA DEMOCRATIC CLUBS There Was a General Frost on the Night’s Organization Efforts. The Junta Democrats organized Demo- cratic clubs in most of the districts last evening. There was a frost in most of the meetings, but at the meetings where ad- journments were not taken in the hope of drumming up @ respectable attendance in the future those. present approved names enough to provide the necessary quota of officers. A Bryan and Sewall Club of the Thirty- seventh District met at Mowry’s Hall last evening and effected temporary organiza- tion. The roll received 100 signatures. 1t was resolved that any voter who will sup- port Bryan and Sewall might sign the roil. Thomas Burke was elected temporary chairman and Vincent Tobin temporary secretary. W. P. Suilivan addressed the meeting on the importance of club organ- ization. The Bryan and Sewall Clb of the ‘Thirty-second District elected last evening Andrew Reavey president, John U. Pow- ers secretary and James Powers treasurer. Fourteen vice-presidents were elected. In the Fortieth District temporary or- ganization of a Bryan and Sewall Club was effected, with M. C, Hassett in the chair. Permanent organization will be effected next Thursday evening at Fillmore and Post streets. The Bryan and Sewall club of the Thiriy-first Distriet orzanized with the following officers: President, Charles Asgmussen; vice-president, Mr. Maher; secretary, Mr. McMenomy; treasurer, John Kinsella, The Forty-fifth District Democrats met and adjourned to effect permanent or- canization next Tuesday evening at 717 Montgomery street.

Tod Will Buy the Bunker Hill in the Mountains of Ventura. He Thinks the Transvaal the Great- est Mining Country Yet Discovered. P. B. Tod, principal owner in the fa- mous Jubilee gold mine,Pietermaritzburg, in the Transvaal country, South Africa, and managing director in a number of other mines there, is at the Palace. Mr. Tod is one of the most successful mining men in the Dark Continent. He DON JUAN RECORD CAST INTO SHADE, Tragic Events Occurring at the Death of G. W. Cornwell. {HE HAD THREE WIVES. Known to Many as Parker and Died Leaving a Widow So Named. HONORED AS AN OLD ENGINEER Strange Tale of a M:n’s Duplicity in Which Several Women Are Involved. Don Juan was elaborated in the brain of Byron, and the amorous traits ascribed him were the result of poetic fancy, pure and simple. 5 In the City by the Goiden Gate a similar character has lived in the flesh for years, and people knew it not. It was ouly when the icy hand of Death was laid on his brow that the attendant circumstances brought a condition of affairs to light which, from all accounts, forms a tale of man’s duplic- ity strange enough to inspire the pen of a Stevenson. Last Wednesday morning, George W. Cornwell, the oldest locomotive engineer on the Coast division and one of the best- known engineers of the Southern Pacific system, died at his home on the corner of Howard and Erie streets. He was a man of very quiet disposition, the neighbor’s affirm without exception, and was espe- cially noticeable for kindness of demeanor toward his wife. Now the tragic element creeps in. The name of his wife is Mrs. Parker, and. moreover, Mrs. Parker supposed and has supposed for years that Parker was the name of her husband. But since his death such strange things have happened that:the poor womun is uncertain’ now whether her name is P. B. Tod, Principal Owner of the Famcus Jubilee Mine, South Africa, and Siegfried Koppel, Manager of the Bunker Hill Mine, Ventura Couaty, (Sketched from life h ZQN P.b.T‘-’D\ ‘ is a Scotchman, and went to South Africa seventeen years ago. It was he who de- veloped the Jubilee mine. With Mr. Tod is Siegfried Koppel of New York. Mr. Koppel is the manager of the rich Bunker Hill gold mine, in the Frazier Mountains, Ventura County. Mr. Tod has come out to examine it for him- self and British capitallsts associated with him. It is stated that they will buy the mine and proceed to develop it on an ex- tensive scale. The gentlemen have just returned from an examination of the mine. While there a cave occurred in the property through the failure of the workmen to timber the last seven feet on which they were work- ing. Two men were killed, as has already been told in a special dispatch to THE! Cavy, and Mr. Koppel’s collar-bone was broken. The fracture was slight, how- ever, and Mr. Koppel was able to get patched up and has resumed his journey. Both the visitors were busy receiving and sending cablegrams last night. “South Africa is the greatest mining country in the world,” said Mr. Tod last night.” “The country as yet has scarcely been scratched. I predict in the next few years greater discoveries by far than has over been made. “There are, practically speaking, 30,000 whites in Natal and 600,000 Zulus. The white population of Pietermaritzbug con- sists of about 700 whites, all the others being blagk. Pietermaritzburg is the capital of Natal and the headquarters of the troops. “I bave long been connected with mines from one end of the reef to the other, a distance of thirty-five miles. The Jubilee mine has long paid a dividend of 120 per cent a year, and in my opinion will con- tinue to do so for the future. The prop- erty consists of five and three-fourths claims.” Mr. Tod has been a member of the Town Council of Pietermaritzburg. He has been singularly successful as a mining engineer and bas amassed very large wealth. The gentleman will probably be here for several days. —————— The Swedes in City Politics. The Swedish-American Political Ciub held a well-attended meeting last Wednes- day evening at Pythian Castle, 909 Market street. The officers of the club are: A. G. Spencer, president; Joseph Okerblod, first vice-president; O. A. Clasell, second vice-president; Alfrrd Johnson, secretary; Gust. Peterson, treasurer; J. P. 8. Jonn- son, sergeant-at-arms; executive commit- tee—August Sjogran, G.S. Turner, P.O. Peterson, J. O. Nelson, August Peterson. Committees on naturalization and en- rolling of members, appointed some time ago, made very favorable reports. Asan unusual number of Swedes have been nat- uralized this dyelr many new members have been added to the club, and before election it will undoubtedly have 700 mem- bers. According to the municipal reports about 2500 Swedes have been admitted to citizenship in this city up to July 1, 1896. At the next meeting, August 26, the club will discuss the new charter. Meetings will be held twice s month until October, when the club will meet every week. ————— Continental League. The regular meeting of the Continental League was held at Saratoga Hall, F. S. Worth in the chair. Stirring addresses were made by Hon. H. C. Dibtle and Wil- liam H. Schooler. Miss Eila Ellis, the ac- complished young lady singer of the ‘Woman’s State Central Republican Club, rendered some vocal selections that were enthusiastically received. e — Every man should read the advertisement of ‘Thomas Slater on page 29 of this paper, by a “Call” artist.] RO "‘“ . Parker or Cornwell, whether she was really the man’s legitimale wife or not, and whether she was not antedated in her husband’s affections by another woman. Yes, perhaps by two other women. Behold, while Parker’s shrouded body rested in its satin-lined coffin a woman living not a block distant came robed in widow’s weeds and heayily veiled to the litlle house on the corner of Howard and Erie streets. She was tne dead man’s wife, she said in émthmic tones, and the man’s name was Cornwell, not Parker, A stormy scene ensued. Mrs. Parker wept and indignantly protested tbat such a thing was impossible, a phantasm of a disordered brain. The verbal war raged for some time, but Mrs, Cornwell at length retired. In the afternoon she sent Porter and White, undertakers, whose establishment on Eddy street, to Mrs. Parker’s house for tbe body, with instructions to remove it to her house, near the corner of Howard and Fourteenth streets. There they ran against a rival firm of undertakers, Gant- ner & Ganz of City Hall avenue. Tke remains were In a fair way for re- moval when a namber of Cornwell’s or Parker’s friends emerged from a neigh- boring grocery-store and rendered such assistance that the Eddy-street firm was forced to capitulate. On Thursday morning some more com« ghcatnons arose, such as to render Mra. arker almost insane from grief. Another woman, attired in the somber garments of a widow and known as ‘‘The San Jose widow,”” her voice trembling with sorrow and her ‘1{“ red and swollen with weep- ing, called at the Howard and Erie resi dence and in mournful tones asked for sight of her dead husband. Mrs. Parker was in the room when the inquiry was made, and, throwing up her bands in sorrow, exclaimed: “My .God! My God! Where is this to end? He is my own husband, not yours.” In the afternoon of the same day George W. Cornwell, for that is the name he was known to his employers by, was interred in Cypress Lawn metery under the auspices of the Locomotive Engineers’ Association. Three women were at the side of the grave and saw the body Jaid to rest. At the hall of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Sixteenth and Valencia streets, the “San Jose widow'’ made a scene with her manifestations of grief. The two other women were also visibly affected. The same sod round the grave was watered by the tears of the trio. George W. Cornwell began his career at the ace of 18 on the New York Central, In 1860 he came to California and entered the employ of the Central Pacific. At the completion of the San Jose and Montere: road he was employed as engineer, an sgndzmued in the company’s service till he ied. To his associates he was known as *‘Ola Pard.” He was a pallbearer both at the funeral of Leland Stanford and A. N. Towne. His was the engine, No. 1431, selected to_puil the special train which eonn{‘ed President arrison over the ro-d: f the system when he visited this coast According to Mrs. Cornwell, the woman who lives at 1802 Howard street, after Cornwall came to this coast he became en- amored of a woman living on Dupont street, the one now known as the *San Jose widow.” He lived with her until 1872, when he married her. She says their married life was happy till 1888, at which time he met Mrs. Parker, a beautiful woman, Lhen he neglected her and a separation was found unavoidable, thongh no divorce took place. She has since, she asserts, re- ceived $25 a month for support from him. The theory advanced by Mrs. Cornwell for her husband’s taking the name of Parker was to avoid her and the “San Jose widow”’ while living as the husband of Mrs. ¥arker, who had gone through the marriage ceremony with him. 5 While Mrs, Coramell lived only a block away from Mrs, Parker she did not know ;h-td her husband was Mrs, Parker's hus- and. ' *It seems impossible,” she sobbed. “I cannot believe 1{.“ Still it would have been very easy for him to do it. even before we were separated. He could have claimed that he had extra rnns and had to work overtime. This always pleases an engi- neer’s wife, for it means more money when the paycar comes round.” e BONFIRES AND SONGS.

The loss of the Drummond Castle, one of the finest of the Castle liners, with nearly all the passengers and crew, is a disaster the like of which has never before been experienced by the well-known company of which Sir Donald is the head. Indeed, it is stated that this famous fleet of vessels, 1n all the twenty-one years of its service between London and the Cape, had hitherto never sustained any loss of life by accident at sea. Soon after the com- wny started an accident occurrea to the ) indsor Castle, but happily no lives were ost. 8ir Donald Currie, K.C. M. G.,, M. P., isin the seventy-first year of his age.

He has, as is well known, on two or three occasions materially contributed to the restoration of Mr. Glaastone to health by taking the “‘Grand Old Man” on sea voyages on board of one of his 8wift and luxurious steamers, and comparatively re- cently conducted the G.

DR. SMITH'S INVENTION. Airships to Be Built of Alum- num and Lifted by Hydrogen Gas. CARRY MORE THAN TWO TONS. Will Pass Over the Continent at a Terrific Rate and With Per- fect Safety. Dr. Charles Abbott Smith of this City believes he has met and overcome all the demands necessary for a vehicle that may saiely and successfully navigate the air. The airship designed by Dr. Smith is to be composed of aluminum and will be lifted by hydrogen gas. The machinery required to work the dif- ferent portions of the ship’s apparatus is all in practical use to-day in the work- shops of the world. The inventor has prescribed an equitable plan whereby sufficient working capital will be supplied to insure all the stock company. The number of shares already set apart and under bond for the working fund is 85,000; this is nearly one-tenth of the number of shares of the egpital stock. The company has been called the Atlantic and Pacific Aerial Navigation Company, incorporated August 10, 1896. The direct- ors are L J. Truman, G. T. Gaden, Dr. C. A. Smith, Edward Foster and M. A. Terry. M. M. Estee is the company’s attorney. The present office of the company is in the Mills buildine. It is contemplated to build a ship of two tons burden and it is expected to traverse the continent from San Franciseo to New York in the remarkably short time of forty hours. The ship will be cylindrical in shape, 120 feet long and 39 feet in diameter. The zas capncitg of a ship of this length will be 89,000 cubic feet; this will give a lifting power of 6230 pounds. The total weight of the machine is 2053 pounds, thus leaving 4173 pounds extra the ship can carry of dead weight. Ships may be made larger or smaller at option; the cargo may be passengers, mail matter or express. The requirements usunally set forth for a successful airship are: First, bueyancy; second, power to move at will in either horizontal or vertical directions, and third, the ability to land without injury to passengers or ship. The airship’s ability to rise has been described. Its steering apparatus consists of a large horizontal rudder, hinged to the rear end of the vessel, which being ele- vated or lowered will cause a correspond- ing direction of the vessel’s bow. Vertical rudders will act on the atmosphere in like manrer, causing a side movement. The third di fficulty, that of easy alight- ing and safety, is overcome by the use of immense wings, the horizontal rudder or tail and the propeller which gives the motive power. The broad propeller is to be run at such a speed as may be neces- sary to force the machine forward against the air as it presses upon the deflected wings, the final result produced by the three portions of the machinery working in unison will be the settling down of the ship after its aerial journey into the slip prepared for its reception. It is the desire of the company to secure the co-operation of & number of private citizens; fr.m this body may be selected men who ars financially interested in the concern to such an extent as will qualify them to take positions with and transact business for the company. Thisis intended so that no capitalist may obtain control of the company. A limited number of shares will be sold until after the building of the first ship. The projectors of the undertaking say there will be levied no assessments. — The City’s Creditors. A meeting of the creditors of the City and County of S8an Francisco will be held at the rooms of the Board of Trade, 202 Market street, to-morrow at 2:30 P. M.
