4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 31. 1896. COULD NOT- LIVE WITHOUT I Belle Meinert Shoots Her- self in Her Lover’s Presence. THE WOUND NOT FATAL Drew a Pistol From Her Pocket and Fired a Bullet Into Her Breast. THIS IS HER SECOND ATTEMPT Both Parents Objected to Their Mar- riage and Joe Cuneo, Her Lover, Got Tired of Her. Belle Meinert, a pretty girl about 21 years of age, attempted to commit suicide last night in the presence of her lover, Joseph Cuneo, by shooting herself under the left breast. - Cuneo iz about 20 years of age and lives with his father, a carpenter, at 2433 How- ard sireet. He met the girl about eight months ago and soon afterward gave her an engagement ring. Cuneo’s parents objected to the girl as the future wife of their son, and she be- came aware of the fact. Last Tuesday, in her father’s grocery and saloon, on Twen- ty-third and Vermont streets, she at- tempted to shoot Cuneo, declaring that she would kill him aad herself, but was disarmed by Policeman Doherty, who bappened to be passing the store at the time. About 10 o'clock last night the girl met Cuneo. They walked along Howard street talking about the objections to their mar- riage, and when they were between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets Ouneo told her that they would have to part. She gave him her purse and gloves, and Cuneo asked what was the matter with her. Bhe replied, “I am going to kill myself,” and pulled a revolver out of her pocket. He jumped back, thinking she would fire at him, but she fired at ber left breast and fell to the sidewalk. Policeman John Connolly heard the shots, He ran toward them and asked the gm who shot her. BShe replied: I did."” Connolly picked up from the ground a small 22-caliber reyolver which had dropped from her hand, and on searching her pocket found a 32-caliber revolver and a number of cartridges. Connolly rang for the patrol wagon and sent the girl to the City and County Hos- pital, where Dr. Dudley found that the bullet had entered the left breast and ex- pressed the opinion that the girl would soon be all right again. Cuneo was taken to the BSeventeenth- street station, but after making his state- ment to Lieutenant Burke, and subse- quently to Captain Gillen, he was dis. charged. *I never intended to marry her,” said Cuneo. ‘I met her about eight months ago and gave her an engagement-rin ‘jolly’ her along. She often told me that she was fonder of me than she had been of any other man, and if I did not marry her she would be a corpse and so would I ‘“‘After her attempt to shoot me last Tuesday I was afraid when she pulled out the pistol to-night that she intended to shoot me first. 1 told her I intended giv- ing her the ‘shake’ and I suppose that was what made her shoot herself. “My parents would not let me marry her, and I had no intention myself of doing so. After I became acquainted with her I learned of her past life, and {hat set- tled me.” The girl, when spoken to at the hospital, admitted shooting herself. She was averse to talking, but said that her parents objected to her marrying Cuneo and she g:wrmin:d to die rather than live without m, The girl lives with her parents at 1312 Nebraska street. It is said she became en- amored of another man four years agoand has a baby 3 years old. This is supposed to be what Cuneo learned of her past life. 10 BULD THE BROGE The Contract Let by the Park Commissioners—It Will Be of Granite. Animals That Are Now in the Zoo. Crowds at the Ocean Beach. Markeburg’s Ascension. The shower yesterday morning laid the dust in Golden Gate Park, and in the after- noon the balmy atmosphere brought a great crowd to the big pleasure-grounds. Superintendent McLaren has -returned from his vacation to Lake Tahoe, which he declares is undoubtedly the most beau- tiful sheet of water in the United States. While roaming through the mountains that surround the lake he secured a large collection of conesof the different pines growing there and will plant seeds in one of the arboreta in the park. The Commissioners have let to Alex- ander McLenon, for $16,000, the contract for building the great bridge across the main drive near the museum, It will be of Rocklin granite, after the plan which was published in THE CALL on the 6th of last I’*"ebrunr . The parapets will be put up, but much of the ornamentation that was introduced by the architectsin the original design will® for the time being be omitted. There will be a path for pedes- trians on the north side of the bridge, the drive for vehicles in the centre and a bicycle track on the south side. Theewalk from the tunnel on the eastern side of the grand court to the broad steps opposite the museunm has been put in order, and many of those whc went to the aviary took that route to the Egyptian building, enjoying for the first time a trip through the new tunnel. The work of putting the facings on the new north tun- nel is progressing, and it will not be long before the people will have an opportunity of passing under the mai rive to reach the Fulton.street entrance. The family of animals in the zoo is quite numerous at this time. There are within the several enclosures eight buffa- loes, fourteen elk, one moose, thirty deer, including two spotted fawns from the South Sea Islands. one mountain sheep, one ostrich, 2000 birds in the aviary, about half- a hupdred squirrels in.the-happy family cage and a numbaer of swans and ducks on Stow Lake. Work on the annex to the museum is being pushed forward witli a limited force and it is expected that.within two weeks the work of arranging some of the displays will be commenced. John L. Bardwell, an old pioneer and collector of curios, who has already de- voted very many interesting and historic to | articles to the museum, is a regular Sun- day visitor to the place. In conversation vesterday, in answer to a question as to his motive for making so many donations, he said: “T’ll tell you why I do this; I believe that it is a means of educating our rising generation; it gives the young people an opportunity to become acquainted with many objects that they may have read about, and if they have not read about them they will, after seeing the different objects, go to the books and read and learn. I have been asked why I did not give the aggregate of what I have con- tributed to a college, and my reply has been that if I did that it would educate a few, but that what I have done will edu- cate the masses.” ‘ There was a goodly number of people in the vicinity of the Cliff House during the atternoon. The attendance at the Haight-street grounds was unusually large, the princi- pal atiraction being a gnlloon ascension by Emil Markeburg. In spite of many dis- couraging mishaps he has met with oflate he made an ascent, and it was a perfect one. His balloon rose high ‘and in a short time was lost to view in the clouds, but before he passed out of sight he released from a cage a number of pigeons belong- ing to a gentleman in Alameds, and the birds as soon as they found their bearings took their flight eastward, Markeburg made a good parachute drop, but unfortu- nutel{ for him in nearing the ground he struck on the peaked roof of a house and is so doing badly injured his left foot. He was taken back to the grounds, where his irjury was temporufiy dressed, after which he was conveyed to his home. | Anderson in Line. ANDERSON, Oar, Aug. 30.—A Mec- Kinley and Hobart club was organized at this place last night with a membership of ninety voters. The officers of the club are: J. H. Creighton, president; R. B. Keeler, secretary; I. H. Treat, treasurer. The meeting was enthusiastic and full of determination to go into the fight to win. Many more names will be added to the club roll. Anderson is the banner Re- publican precinct of Shasta County. COURSING AT THE PARKS Cooney’s Right Bower Wins First Prize at the Ocean View Resort. Emin Pasha Shows His Quality by Carrying Off the Honors at Ingleside, The showers of Saturday evening placed the coursing parks in magnificent shape for running yesterdsy, and appreciating this fact the attendance was laiger than usual at both resorts. At Ocean View the usual hard-betting, enthusiastic crowd was on hand, and the splendid coursing that was witnessed kept the leashmen in good humor. The hares and hounds were both first-class, and in- terest did not fail from the time the first pair of dogs went to the slips until the flag went up in the final race. Following is the result of the rundown in the regu- lar stake: M. Tiernan’s Flashlight beat T. Cooney’s Hercules, A. Morrill's Faster and Faster beat B.

Second ties—Flashlight beat Bill Nye, Nellie Conroy beat Magnet, Right Bower a bye. Third ties—Right Bower beat Flashlight, Nellie Conroy a bye. Final—Nellie Conroy was withdrawn on ac- count of her distressed condition and first prize went to Right Bower by default, Nellie Conroy taking second, Flashlight third and fu{;uez and Bill Nye fourth and fiith, respect- vely. In an eight dog consolation stake, Susie won first and Captain Morse second, beating Tom Hayes handily for the sec- ond time during the day. On Sunday next a §1 stake with $20 ad- ded by the management will be run and on the Sunday following, September 13, in addition to the regular stake, a puppy stake with an added $40 cup for the winner will be decided. On this occasion the veteran and popular Jim Wren will bandle the slips.

MRS. COOPER’S BIBLE CLASS, The Discussion Was on Human Sorrow and Tears. Many took part in Mrs. Cooper’s Bible class yesterday in the discussion of the causes which led to the defeat and death of David’s favorite’son, Absslom. Many visitors from Eastern cities were present. ““This is a lesson of human sorrow and tears,” said the teacher. “‘David received a heart wound from which he never fully recovered. David's unspeakable agony tells us that wrong doing brings the frmit of pain, David remembered his crime against Uriah, He knew, too, that he had not been faithful to_his wayward son, Ab- salom. But David still loved his son. And here we come to the divine revelation of the Heavenly Father. Our sins do not ehnnfir the fact of our relationship; we are still God’s children, however wayward and prodigal we may be. But there is strength and severity, if need be, in true love. True fatherhood lays a firm hand on the headstrong boy and says: ‘Stop, my boy, and think. This must not be. You are going to destruction. This shall not be.’ ~‘Then, sometimes, the grieved and loving father uses a little dp ysical persuasion. I believe God would be ten- der to us all the time if he could be, if we would obey his holy laws in us.” ————————— He Pulled His Pistol. G. Eentra and Nicholas Ragelovich, both of whom are engaged in the fruit busin had an saltercation at Laguna and Grove streets last night over some business transactions. Kentra, who carried a load of liguor and an ugly looking revolver, undertook to impress the force of his argument upon his opponent by drawing his pisto], which he was about to use, when Sergeant Blanx hove in sightand took the pair to the Central station, where IMPERIALS BRACED UP, New Talent Has Materially Im- proved the Local Base- ball Team. They Played an Errorless Game ard Easily Vanquished the Oak- land Men. The reconstructed, reformed, rejuve- nated Imperials were too strong for the Oakland ball-players yesterday, and in the latter part of the game walked away from their opponents. The colts played an errorless game, despite the fact that Wilds is credited with & misplay. The only error made was one ot judgment, and it should have been credited to Pitcher McCarthy, who tried to catch Feeney at first in the last Inning, after having given him a base on balls, The Oaklands too fielded well, being charged with but three mistakes, not one of which proved costly. The Imperials were first at bat, and John McQarthy, the initial batter, was hit by a pitched ball. He went to first base and was advanced to third on Nealon’s single. Nealon went to second on Wilds’ out at first, Tillson landed a safe hit back of second base and both McCarthy and Nealonscored. Nealon failed to touch third base, however, and was declared out because of his oversight. Muller retired the side on a fly to Agnew. Oakland tied the score in the third in- ning.

Yesterday tbe riders of the San Fran- cisco Examiner and New York Journal bicycle relay lost time on account of a cloudburst and bad roads. The riders passed through Rock Springs, Point of Rocks, Bitter Creek, Tipton and Creston, Wyo. The relay- arrived at Rawlins at 8:02 o’clock last evening. ‘The riders were due at this point at 1:54 ». M. yesterday, so, ac- cording to the schedule, they were six hours and eight minutes late. On account of the heavy rains and sub- merged roads Bristol and King had to carry their wheels. The following special dispatches to the Examiner from Rawlins tell of the adver- sities encountered yesterday and predict further impediments to-day: RAWLINS, Wyo., Aug. 30.—Raflroad track best riding around here. At Fort Steele, six- teen miles to the eest, relay will leave track and strike south along the old eml‘rlm trail, saving about thirty miles.

The couriers are ‘now ascending the western slope of the main range of the Rocky mountains. The little mountain streams which they cross flow into Green River, a tributary of the Colorado River, and uitimately reach the Pacific Ocean at the Gulf of California. When Sherman is reached the waters flow to the Platte and through the Missouri and Mississippi riv- ers to the Atlantic Ocean at the Gulf of Mexico. According to the schedule the riders are due at Sherman at 8:20 this (Mondla morning, and dus_at Cheyenne at 10: A M. to-day. At Rawlins they were six hours and eight minutes late, with a stormy night of travel ahead, The wheel- ing must necessarily be slow. The cour- iers must keep the sense of hearing alert to avoid rushing torrents when lightning flasbes do not reveal to the sightthe scenes of peril, If the cloudbursts precipitate vast torrents of water Sherman may not be reached until late this afternoon.

NEEDED TWO MORE VOTES Dr. Bowen Almost Elected Pas- tor of the New Jerusalem Church. The Congregation Decides to Retain Him in Its Pulpit for the Time Being, The vastorate of the First New Jerusa- lem Church is still vacant, though the pulpit is for the present ably filled by the eloquent and popular Dr. Bowen. A meet- ing of the church members was held yes- terday for the purpose of putting an end to this temporary arrangement by the election of Dr. Bowen to the pastorate, but owing to the absence of 8 small num- ber of persons the object of the meeting was not realized. Sixty-four voting members of the church society were present, besides about 200 regular attendants at the church services. Judge Provine presided, and in a brief address stated the object for which the meeting had been called and asked the members to endeavor to come to some definite conclusion as to a regular supply- ing of the pulpit. There has been talk of some little fric- tion among the members and the result of the meeting would seem, in some degree, to confirm the rumor, as the two-thirds vote necessary for Dr. Bowen’s election could not be attained. ‘A number of the reverend gentleman’s friends in_the congregation are absent from the City. Had they been in town his elaction would have been a certainty, since he lacked only two votes. It appearing impossible to elect Dr. Bowen as pastor, it was decided at ail events to retain him temporarily, and the following resolaution was adopted : ‘WHEREAS, The fallure of this mufi:‘l‘! to elect & minister may prove instrumental in lemgorsrfly closing ihe church, & result that, in the estimation of many members, would be extremely dstrimental to the best_{nterests of the cause of the new church and of this soci- ety in particular; and whereas, there has al- ready been noted an increased attendance and renewed interest under the earnest and able minisiry of our beloved brother, the Rev. D. V. Bowen, who, by reason of our invitation, Bas supplied the pulpit of this church during the few weeks that he has been sojourning lmoni us, therefore be it Resolved, That the board of trustees of this soclety be and are hereby authorized and re- Qquested to continue the present arrangements Bowen, or make any oth ement that may prove acceptable and saf l:&nwry to the aforesaid trustegs and to Mr. SBowen, 10 the end that he may continue to occupy the pulpit of this church to administer to our spiritual Wants, until such time as_his permanent suc- cessor shall have been duly elected in accord- ance .v,mh ihe terms of the constitution of this Dr. Bowen seems satisfied with the action of the meeting and will bring his family to reside with him in this Oity during his connection with the church. ———— LoAws on dlamonds, lnterest low. At Uncle Harrlsy 16 Grant avenue. ond, went to third on Donoyan’s out and scored on Walton’s fly to left. In the fifth, singles by Crowley and Joe McCarthy, a base on balls and Nealon’s force hit scored two runs for the Impe- rials, while in the sixth the Oaklands earned a tally on a double by Walters and Feeney’s single. The run-getting of the visitors ended right there, and the Impe- rials failed to score again until the eighth. In the last inning but one, John McCar- thy made the star play of the game. Ag- rew was first at bat, and he lifted one of those exasperating low flies that are too high for the infield and too short for the outfield. It looked dollars to doughnuts that the ball would fall safe, but by a great exhibition of sprinting McCarthy got up in time to get the ball. He captured it not two feet from the ground and was roundly applauded. In the ninth inning Walters made a catch almost ‘as brilliant as McCarthy’s and thereby robbed Warde of a hit. In the eighthinning the Imperials add- ed two runs to their score. Nealon led oft with a double and Wilds got a base on balis. Muller landed a pretty single to center and both Nealon and Wilds scored. The ball was thrown wild in trying to catch the Imperial first baseman at the plate and Muller tried to score on the play and was caught at the rubber. Three more tallies were corraled by the Imperials in the final inning on two sin- gles, two bases on balls and a triple. Following is the official score: AB, B. BH. S.B. P.O.

Somé three or four hundred children, as well as a large congregation of adults, crowded the Episcopal Church of the Ad- vent to the doors last night on the occasion of the Harvest Home festival. A pro- gramme of special orchestral and vocal music was finely rendered during the evening, the former including Gounod’s magnificent “Ave Maria” and Raff's scarcely lessbeautiful ‘‘Cavatina,” together with a violin solo by F. C. Plise. George King, the &oung organist of the church, played with conspicuous ability. - The members of the orchestra were as follows: Pianist, Miss Kate Madden; first violins, F. C. Plise and J. Harding; second violins, Louis Sorian and Emile Coret; flate, 8. Disbecker; cornetist, W, C. Mur- rav; clarionetist, ¥. Lane. The chancel and approaches were ex- %nisitaly decorated with votive offerings om the field and orchard, the bandsome altar in particular forming a most attrac- tive center-piece. The effect of sugh fea- tures as the foregoing was further intensi- | fied by the picturesque accessories of the Episcopalian ritual. Rarely, in fact, has | the handsome interior of the Church of | the Advent been seen to greater advantage. The rector, Rev. J. A. Emery, was as- sisted in the conduct cf the service by ; Revs. H, B. Monges and Howitt, while the children of the Sunday-shool were under the supervision of Superintendent J. Allaire. The children having been put through the catechism, the rector briefly ad- aressed the congregation. He expressed a hope that the present might merely prove one of many similar gatherings, and intimated that the collection would be set aside for the benefit of the Sunday- school. He could not recollect a single previous instance on which he had ever made a begging appeal from the chancel, but to- night he wonld ask them to do something for the children, so that ‘when Christmas came round once more it would be pos- sible to give them as happy a festival and as many remembrances as has been done in the time gone by. T0 LEAD STANFORD MEN Football Captain Fickert Worked All Summer Near Tehachapi. Comes Back Hopeful and Determined and Says the Team Must Play a Fast Game. Charles M. Fickert, captain of the Stan- ford football team, arrived here yesterday from the mountains near Tehachapi Pass, where he has spent the last three months in aifferent kinds of rough work, that he might be well prepared to go uvpon the gridiron field and lead his men through a vigorous season. His father owns some land in that part ot the country, a little farm of about 13,000 acres, devoted to the raising of grain and cattle, and there the son, who is a youth about six feet two inches in height and strongly built, has been taking a turn at everything that would produce muscle. He is very hopeful over the prospects at Palo Alto, whither he will go to-day to look at the incoming freshmen. “This year,” said he, the Stanford team must play a faster game. That is one of the things I shall work for. Then I want to take Soper in hand at once and teach him to tackle. He is a good punter, but that is not the only requisite for a full- back. That position will be hardest to fi1l, particularly as Berkeley has such a fine kicker in Captain Ransome. He is the whole team. There is a big, active fellow named Freeman, a freshman last ear, that I count on some for fullback. e is the tennis champion and played on the basebali team. He is cool and strong. | Then there is Young, first base in the ball team. He weighs 205 pounds and might make a good guard. We are pretty well off, though, in the line. Fisher and Dale or Thomas are good men for halfs. What we will most need are a fullback and a quarter. 1 have an idea now _that we couldn’t do better than put Jeffs and Cotton on the ends. “I hear there is a great deal of fresh- man material of some experience, espe- cially players from the Northwest, where they say we are to get four or five men. But I donot count much on freshmen for the varsity. In the last four yearsonly two freshmen have made the Stanford team—McMillan of '97 and Cotton of ‘98, The prospects are good for a much better freshman eleven than in previous years, and that means something to the varsity next year or the year aiter. The captain of the Denver High School team is already at Palo Alto and will enter as a ‘reshman. and there are others from the East. heard the other day that Whitehouse is coming back to Btanford. He played tackle in ’93 and afterward left college, layed with the Reliance, and is now in fho East, where he has just given up his position.” —_—————— A Determined Suicide.
