They Were Married Two Years Ago, and She Left Him Recently. Hf FIRED FIVE SHOTS AT HER Kilcline Was for Several Years “Connected With the Fire Department. Joseph Kilcline, an ex-stoker in the Fire Department, fatally shot his wife Eliza at | | great difficulty succeeded in makine a| | cross. This is her statement: My name is Eliza Kileline. I | Joe Kilcline, shot me four times this morning | in & house at 311 Jessie street, where L wi My husband, is iting a friend of mine by the neme of Lilli Tilton. He shot me because 1 would not live with him. He asked me to come back to him and live with him, and when I said that I | would not live with' him he deliberately shot | meand I fell down. He stood there until he was arrested. Joe Kilcline is my husband’s name, and_he shot me without provocation. | Believing I am about to die, I herewith declare | this to be my last dying siatement, and state | the same is the truth, and the whole truth, so help me God. While she was making her statement Kilcline had been taken from the City | Prison by Policemen Farley and Flynn to | the hospital. When stre saw him shesaid: | “That’s my husband, the man who shot | me.” Kilcline did not say a word, but | burst into tears, and as the officers led him away he attempted to get back to her, ving he wanted to see her again. Kilcline when asked to make a state- ment was inclined to be surly. He at firsi denied that he knew anything about the | shooting, but finally said: “My wife’s name was Eliza Peterson when I'married her on Ritch street two years ago. “Last week she threatened to kill me. She pulled a gun on me but I took it from her. I went to her to-day and asked her to come and live with me again, and she said with an oath, ‘Get out, or I'll shoot you.” Then I shot her, and that's all there is about 1t. 1 don’t care if I swing for it. L am tired of life anyhow.” Kilcline joined the Fire Department on September 20, 1857 as extraman on engine | 6. He was promoted to stoker of engine | | 8, from there to engine 10, and then to engine 2. On June 29, last year, he was | dismissed from the department for im- | proper acts and conduct. He has been | arrested several times for minor offenses, such as battery and disturbing the peace. He is 26 years of age. 2 Mrs. Kilchne’s mother lives on Sher- wood place, and she remained beside her Y, MR. AND MRS. KILCLINE.

DPhey were married about two years ago, but did not live happily together and re- cently she left him. alled upon a friend—Lillian Tilton—at 311 Jessie street yesterday afternoon and while they were chatting Kilcline entered the room. He had been drinking and was in an ugly mood. He went up to his wife and asked her to go back and live with him. She re- fused and he pulied a revolver out of his pocket and fired five shots at her in quick succession, four taking effect. The shots attracted the attention of Po- licemen Farley and T. F. ¥lynn and they Tan to the house. When the entered the room where the shooting took place Mrs. Kiicline was streiched on the floor ina pool of biood and Kil looking down at her. They asked him who had fired the shotsznd he said he did nog know anything about it. Kilcline was placed under arrest and the apparently dving woman was sent to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol wagon. As Kilcline leit the house with the officers he saw a friend among the créwd that had tochim that he had shot his wife because she was ton intimate with *‘that fellow on Third street.” At the Receiving Hospital Dr. Fitz- gibbon found that one bullet had entered her right chest and taken a downward course, piercing the lung; another had entered her right arm, glanced upward. and lodged in the deep portion of her right shoulder. The other two struck her on the right forearm, inflicting fiesh wounds. The doctor expressed the opin- ion that she could not live. Chief Crowley sent Police Stenographer O. B.

The struggle between Colin Chetwood Jr. and the Caliiornia National Bank etal. is about to be resumed. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court yesterday ask- ing for a rebearing in bank. The language of the petition is somewhat spirited in | | spots. In one place itis asserted: & If tne litigation is notat an end then the money in court in this procecding should not ned over to Mr. Stateler; not yet, if at tateler never had and never can have s ct Tight 1o these funds. He is the appointee of Thomas, the man most at fault, the man whose necligence, of worse, Tuined this bank. fer o1 the funds to him would be not miscarriage, it would be & mockery of be tur all ustic *“Thomas has been neither detrauded nor op- pressed. He wrecked the bank but refused to | pay a cent of this loss. This court has uot only relieved iim from all liability by reversing a judgment of $139,000 against him, but even actually hands over o him and o agents ap- vointed by him, the funds, 00, paid in by others on account of the very debt he should havepaid. Noris thisall. He has not only been decreed a share of this very money paid in to make good the loss he hes caused; he is aciually held entitled to take from the plaintiff, by Stateler, his agent, the stock of Thompson and Wilson, presumably to share in the diyidends on that. We submit that the decision and its results are contrary to all | principles of equity and justice, and we re- spectfully ask that this cause be heard in bank.” A MOTHER'S SUICIDE. Insomnia, Due to Vigils Over Her Sick Babes, Drove Mrs. Lowery to Desperation. Tired by night vigils over the cradles of her two little babies, who are suffering with diphtheria, Mrs. Grace Lowery com- mitted suicide at her home, 732 Green street, Sunday night. The children have been quite ill for the past ten days and their father, Frank | Lowery, a type-setter in the employ of Palmer & Rey, and his wife have watched them almost continuously. The mother, especially essary absolutely reiused to take nec: t, and as her system seemed to r y under the strain she was forced by her lLiusband to leave the honse on Sun- day night for a breath of fresh air. The couple” wandered as far as the Orpheum, and knowing the sick little ones were care. fully looked after by Mrs. Lowery’s mother at home, they strayed into the place of amusement. It was only for a little while, however as Mrs. Lowery became hyster1. cal and feit compeiled to leave. Returning home she lay on 2 lounge in the back parlor, where her husband found ber dead in the early morning. Near her was an empty bottle that had contained | carbolic acid. Deceased was & rather pre- | | possessing woman, hardly 24 years of age. | Bbe was of a sunny disposition up to the | time her children became ili and she wore her system out caring for them. —————— ONE million will read “Mechanies’ Fair aily.” Advertise now.

WILL NOT DISCUSS THE AFFAIR The Man’s Name Is John Jilek and That of His Intended Victim Mrs. Ella Ferguson. Jealousy, made more intense by an in- sane longing for the unattainable, nearly caused a murder and suicide last night. As it was, Mrs. Ella Ferguson suffered a serious wound in the left arm and the would-be assassin, John A. Jilek, hasa bullet in his abdomen, the pellet having been sent there by his own hand. The marvelous part of the shooting, however, is found in the fact that five bullets were fired at the woman at close range, only one of which tookeffect. Herescape from instant death is hardly short of a miracle. The story is the old, old one of an un- requited love, in which the woman took the initiative in breaking off the unequal affection. Mrs. Ella Ferguson is a petite woman of the blonde type and her home is 308 Minna street. Two years ago she lost her husband, and since that time has found some consolation in the company of Jilek. In time, however, his attentions beceme a burden and she sought every reasonable meaps to rid herself of him. Last night she called on Mrs. William Goldsburg, 602 Gough street, and a few moments later Jilek put in an appearance. Mrs. Ferguson requestea the lady of the bouse to withdraw for a few moments as she desired to have a private talk with her admirer. Just what passed between the two is not definitely known, but hardly five minutes had elapsed before Mrs. Goldsburg heard a pistol shot, and then another, and still a third, until five all told bad been fired. She rushed into the room just in time to see Jilek place the weapon to his stomach and send the one | remaining ball into his person. The strange part of the wnole affair is that neither of the interested parties will ciscuss the matier. Mrs. Ferguson de- clares she does not know who shot her, while Jilek swears he cannot imagine who it was who sought to end his life, The woman had her wound dressed at a neighboring drugstore and then disap- peared. Jilek was taken to the Receiving Hospital, but later transferred to the sta- | tion. ‘' know nothing of the affair,”” he said. “We were in the room and some one shot { a pistol several times, one of the bullets finding a lodging-place here’ and the speaker pointed to his stomach. Later it was learned that Jilek is em- |John A. Jilek, Who Last Night At- tempted to Murder Mrs. Ella Fer- guson and Then Sought to End His Life. ployed as a clerk in a Kearny-street shoe- store. He is & German by birth and has only been in_ this country about three vears. Asneither of the parties will dis- cuss the affair it is bresumed that Jilex will be released in a day or so. CASHIN’S ASSAILANTS. Dan Ward, the Companion of John Kelly, Is Now Behind the Bars. Dan Ward was arrested yesterday by Detective T. L. Ryan and Policeman E. O’'Dea and taken to the City Prison, where he will be charged with robbery and as- sault to murder. Ward was the companion of John Kelly, who broke into a room in the Oakland House, 66415 Howard street, early Sunaay morning, August 16, and stole a gold watch d $%0 from the pocketsof E. Cashin, who occupied the room. Cashin chased Ward, who had the stolen and captured him, but Kelly ot at Cashin, the bullet striking him in the leg, and he had to let go his hold o Ward. Ward escaped, but Kelly was captured by a citizen. Since then Ryan has been searching for Ward, and he and O’Dea found him vesterday’ morning. He acknowledged being with Kelly, but denied taking amy part in the robbery. Kelly’s case will come up in Judge Conlan’s court this | morning, and Cashin, who lives in the country, will be present and will have the opportunity to identify Ward. WILL BE ARRESTED. Peter Vidak Charged With Perjury for False Swearing While Being Registered. John M. Chretien and J. Alva Watt were recognized by the Election Commis- sioners yesterday as the accredited anda official representatives of the Republican County Committee in place of T. J. L. Smiley, who resigned on account of ill health. A. Ruef has been acting as Republican representative since Smiley’s retirement, but will now give way to the two new ap- pointees, but may appear for the State Central Commitzee. A number of men who had been cited by the Commissioners to appear and show cause why their names should not be stricken from the registration rolls were 1 | examined. The majority showea that | they were eligible to vote and were kept on the roll. but some few were stricken off. The Registrar was instructed to swear out a warrant for the arrest of Peter Vidak of 323); Minna street, who was refused registration at the Central Bureau because he could neither read nor write, and later at the registration booth in his precinct swore that Le couid do both, and was reg- istered. He will be charged with perjury. WILL CHANGE THE FEES Justices of the Peace Are Anticipating the Decision of the Supreme Court. In accordance with the wishes of the Justices of the Peace Clerk Ed Williams of the Justice Court will begin to-day charging fees as provided for under the old fee bill and will continue to do so un- less the Supreme Court declares the new law to be constitutional. Under the old law the Justices were paid out of the fees of the office so much for each case or proceeding. This will not be put into effect immediately, but the fees Will be collected and put in escrow in the treasury to await the decision of the Supreme Court. The cost to litigants is practically the same under the two bills, some fees being higher and some lower. The main differ- ence lies in attachments and default judg- ments, the cost under the rule that goes into effect to-day being greater in the former and less in the latter. OFF FOR SANTA CRUZ. Select Family Excursion to Take Place Next Sunday in Charge of Colonel Menton. Colonel William H. Menton, the genial excursion agent of the Southern Pacific Company, has arranged a high-class fam- ily outing for next Sunday, which will doubtiess be enjoyed by a large number of merrymakers. Santa Cruz will be the ob- jective point of the trip, and the gallant colonel promises to see to it that every- body shall have a good time. The excursion will leave the narrow- gauge ferry landing at 7:45 A. M., giving the party five full hours at Santa Cruz, and returning to this City at 8 o’clock 1n the evening. Round-trip tickets for the out- ing are offered for sale at the company’s oftice for the low price of $2. HARVEY 1S ACQUITTED, Other Charges Still Pending Against the Stock- broker. A Stubborn Jury That Was Inclined to Follow the Judi- cial Advice. Not Leroy G. Harvey, the stockbroker, on trial for embezzlement of seventy-five shares of Oakland Gas Light and Heat Company stock, was yesterday acquitted of the charge, the jury bringing in a verdict of ‘“not guilty,” by instruction of Judge Bahrs, The case bus been on trial in Depart- ment 12 of the Superior Court for several days, and yesterday morning the prosecu- tion closed its case. M. A. Dorn, attorney for the defense, at once introduced a mo- tion to dismiss, on the ground that the evidence was 1nsufficient to convict. Dorn claimed that Harvey was, by reason of the transfer of the stock to him, its legal owner, and could therefore not be con- victed of embezziing it. The jury was ex- cused until 2 p. M. to allow his Honor time to consider the motion. When court convened in the afternoon Judge Bahrs read his decision. He said in part: The defendant cannot be convicted unless the proof shows defendant to have come into the possession of the property alleged to have been embezzled as a bailee. This could not defendant was in- to the said property at the Smith testified: “I indorsed the v the 2d day of August, 1894, at y’s request, at my house, Mr. E sother aud I that some large dealings with some Enstern svndi- cate, and that it was necessary for him to rep- resent himself to them as a man of property, and asked that this stock be but Mr. Harvey said, you know that I have plenty at it is muci_more difficult to show that as ‘coliateral,’ I thinkgou call it, ‘than it would be to show stock,’ so we were willing, and he srid ‘I ask this as a personal favor; | ked one before, and on that account I ure you won't refuse me.’ “The question was asked Mr. Harvey at the ‘Is that quite fair for you torepresent elf the pos the reply was, ‘You ty of real estate, and much more than the value of that, but this was much easier and quicker.’ " The outcome of the transaction was that the certificate of stock was indorsed in blank and delivered to defendant, which transaction con- veved title to defendant, according to section 324 of the Civil Code, which section has been repeatedly construed by our Supreme Court to mean that the titie to certificates of stock are transterred by indorsement and delivery Therefore, accoraing to rule of law furnished by code, the title passed, and defendant dia not re the property as & bailee. Independently of this rule of law, the testi- mouy clearly shows that the perties contem- platéd that the defendant should use the proo- erty as if it were his own; at all events, that he Was to represent it as his own; this he haa 10 Tight to do unless he was clothed with th legal title, for otherwise to have done so would have been to commit a fraud; this the law will not permit. In law Miss Maud A. Smith must be presumed to have granted enough to make the privilege she gave defendant effective. For the foreguing reasons | am satisfied that & conviction under the indictment upon which the defendant s on trial cannot be sustained, lnn‘l for that reason I advise the jury 1o ac- quit. Although instructed to acquit, the jury could not for a long time make up its mind to do so. It was out for almost an hour, and returned to report that 1t coula not agree, one juryman declaring that he would never consent to declare Harvey not guilty. The twelve good men and true were sent out again, however, and on their return a short time later rendered a verdict in ac- cordance with the instructions of the of real greement of the jury -arms between Judge Babhrs and Assistant District Attorney Hinkle. The attorney inquired what course his Honor would pursue in case the jury disagreed. The Judge was angry at the action of the jury in debating at all over his instructions, and replied that he Was as muca a part of the court as was the jury, and that he would himself discharge tne prisoner. There is still pending against Harvey another charge of embezzlement, which will in all probability be dismissed, and a charge of grand larceny substituted.

The case has been in the courts for several years, but has been post- poned a number of times, because of apparent reconciliations which have taken place. The parties had been married three years. Mary A. Field was given a divorce from James A. Field bec+use of the husband’s will- ful neglect and desertion. The custody of a minor child was awarded plaintiff. Judge Hebbard made the decree.

John Collins, the Longshoreman, Under Mrs. Margaret Crowley by Arrest for Having Caused the Death of Beating and Kicking Her. He is charged with murder—as cruel a murder, too, as has ever been committed in a civilized community. His victim, a woman of the lower strata of society, whom he kicked into uncon- | sciousness one week ago, died at the City | and County Hospital yesterday morning and her remains are now at the public Morgue. The story of the kicking and how it came about was told in the daily papers at the time of Collins’ arrest. He was a neighbor of Margaret Crowley at 314 Beale street and had become rather intimate with her after the death of her husband some four years before. Both drank heavily, and on the evening on which be beat the woman he bad dropped in to have a ‘“‘sociable drink’’ with her. Mrs. Crowley had already procured a pitcher of beer, which the couple finished, | and Coilins wanted some more. Neither was in a condition or_inclined to visit the neighboring grocery for the beverage, and daughter be sent out. To this Mrs. Crowley demurred, and Coliins immediately procecded to belabor her for refusing to follow his advice. While the mother was being beaten and kicked the child escaped and brought in a policeman, who placed Collins under a rest and sent Mrs. Crowley to the Receiy- ing Hospital. ceiving Hospital to tbe City and County Hospital, where she died. Collins bas been very penitent since he has sobered up, and each day he has been religiously inquirine as to the condition of his victim. ‘m sorry I killed her,” he said yester- ‘1 did not intend to.” Then, lean- heaa against the prison bars, he : “But 1 don’t think anything I did to her was the cal She was a cripple and ell eaten up by disease, and all I did was to push her over and she fell. wasn’t enough to kill her. “1 have known the woman for a long time and we lived together after her hus- band’s aeath.

Baker,who says he is a newspaper man and owns & ranch in Pasadena, was arrested yes- terday afternoon on a warrant charging him with petty larceny by fraud, trick and device. The complaining witness is W. Steward, a driver for the St. Hubert Vineyard Company, 224 Bush street. On Saturday afternvon he de ivered to Baker at his room, 425 Geary street, a case of sherry valued nt §5. He asked Baker for payment, but Baker refused. When he returned to the store his employers told him he should not have delivered the wine and I pushed hér away. She fell, anda I suppose she hurt nerself, as she was a cripple and in bad cordition. “Ionly pushed her away gently and I di&in't punch or kick her, as they say I did.” The Woman Suffrage Campaign. Carrie Chapman Catt, who has been working for the cause of woman suffrage in Idaho, is on her way to this City, and will address a meeting next Monday siternoon at Golden Gate Hall.

It has been formally decided that here- after the Christian ministers will meet every Monday morning at Stiles Hall, Berkeley, instead of in this City, in order to have the advantage of hearing Protes- sor Jefferson give his Bible lectures, from 2 to4 p. M. After tha tthe ministers will hold their private conference. The devotions of the Methodists were led yesterday by Rev. J. W. Bryant of Ukiah, who is down on a visit to the con- ference at Pacific Grove. A paper on “Intellectual Honesty” was read by the Rev. Everett M. Hill, and was discussed by the Revs. Briggs, Jones, Case, Goodwin,Dille, ¥. D. Bovard, Carroll, Bu- chanan, Nelson, Larsen, Thompson and ‘Wenk, and the essayist himself made a few additional remarks at the close. Lin Ming Chuan, a bright youth who has lately graduated from Peking Univer- sity and is now on his way to De Pauw U niversity at Greencastle, Ohio, was in- troduced and made a short speech on the necessities and needs of his nation. Rev. H. Khara, a Japanese missionary from Honoiulu, was also introduced, and spoke i ry work among the Hawaiians. Lyman Hood of the Congrega- tional Monaay Club was present, and pro- posed that two or three times a year the clergymen of this City and viecinity hold a union meeting. Rev. H. C. Harris and Dr. Filben were appointed a committee to confer on the subject with committees from other religious bodies. At the Congregational Monday Club Rev. F. B. Perkins read a paper on “Our Spirituality ana Our Individual Relations with God.” He held that men should aspire for a mental state inspired by the Holy Spirit, by which they can look at and see things as God does. This spiritu- ality would be the uniting of earth and heaven. He believed the supreme need of the church to-day to be a spiritual mind, just as the apostles and prophets of old were one with God. Furthermore, he did not believe the pul- pit should deal with political questions, but that if the heart were properly edu- cated the mind would soon find itself in a _condition to vote with intelligence. A free discussion followed the reading of the paper, in which the author was commended for the thoughts he had ad- vanced. At the Presbyterian Union H. J. McCoy, secretary of the main body of the Y. M. C. A., discoursed on “‘Religious Effort for Young Men.”” He said it had been author- itatively announced that a sufficient num- ber of young men reached their majority every four years to control completely the Presidential election of the United States. Of these he believed only 2 per cent were Christians. Dr. Mackenzie and others believed the percentage was much larger than this. Secretary McCoy then stated that he be= lieved the conversion of the young men ot the country would be the sclution of the social and economic questions of the day. He urged business men to do more for the young men; mothers to open their parlors to them, and all others to extend the hand of sympathy. Only in this way did he be- lieve the reforms could be accomplished. The subject for the day at the meetin; of the Baptist ministers was, ‘‘Shoul There Be Only One Christian Organizatjon in Every City?” The speaker, the Rev. M. P. Boynton, being absent, the theme wal= talkea over in an informal manner only. It was announced that a religious con- ference will be he!d September 14 and 15 at the Tenth-avenue Baptist Church in East Oakland, and a programme com-* mittee was appointed as follows: Rev. H. L. Dietz, Rev. C. M. Hill and Rev. 8. C. Keecn. ¥ The First Danish-Norwegian Church of Twerty-fifth avenue, East Uaklaund, will be dedicated next Sunday. The amount raised for building and furnishing this new edifice is wholly due to the tireless and unremitting efforts of the paster, Rev. | N. Tychsen. On motion of Rev. W. N. Latourette it was voted to be the sense of the assem- blage that in view of the postponement of the convention and the expected visit of Drs. Wilkins and Woods in the latter part of October, the meeting of the Baptist Centrai Association be postponed until Tuesday, October 27, 1896. The Presbytery meets at 2 p. M. to-day.
