THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1896. Interesting News Items From Alameda County. MARRIED, SINGLE OB A BIGAMIST Mrs. Dulcich-Dobin-Grogan Says She Will Yet Have Justice. ROMANCE OF HER LIFE Her First Wedding Was With a Soldier Killed at Gettys- burg. SECOND HUSBAND IS ALIVE. Her Third Partner Had His Wedding Annulled, but the Lady Wants Some of His Estate. OARLAND OFFICE SaN FrANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, Sept. 12. } Mrs. Luigi Duleich-Dobin-Grogan does not believe the Superior Court has given her a fair deal, although she does not say that she hasbeen treated badly. Thelady has had a variety of matrimonial experi- ences and now she believes she is entitled tosome property that belonged to one of her husbands. The court decided other- wise and Mrs. Dulcich who, in addition to being the wife of those mentioned, started her career of marriage with a Union soldier who was killed, has entered an ex- ception and thinks she should have a new trial. The lady’s history, as told by herself, is interesting. *‘I have had rather atroubled | wedded career,” she said, “but my certifi- cates are all clear and there is no difficulty at all in proving my claims. I was first married to 8 soldier who was killed at the battle of Gettysburg. At the time of his death I had one little girl. I arew a pen- sion until my second marria.e and then my daughter had the pension money until she came of age. “In May, 1866, I was married to Terence Grogan, and five days after the marriage we came to California and took up our residence in East Oakland, afterward going to Humboldt County. A little boy was born there, and when he was six months old I was forced to leave my husband, as I could not endure life with bim any longer. ‘1 came back to Oskland with my boy in 1867 and lived here for some years. In 871, being assured beyond a doubt that my second husband was dead, I married Louis Dobin. We were married by a Justice of the Peace, and soon after our marriage we went to Peru and endured great hardships. Three children were born, and afier some years our condition began to improve. There were times when we had nothing to eat, but when Dobin started a saloon we made money. was his companion and faithful wife throughout. Our life was one of hardship and as a last resort 1 went upon the stage. I was moderately successful from the start, but as I adopted the profession from necessity and not choice ¥ dropped it as soon as we had money enough to start in business. *‘When the war with Chile broke out I returnea to Oakland with the three chil- dren and Dobin remained behina. He fol- lowed me in about a couple of years, and after being together for less thun a year Dobin left me. When he came back from Peru he told me that his name was not Louis Dobin, but Luaigi Dulcich. With the money that we both helped to save he bought property in East Oakland that is now worth $40,000." Six years ago Dulecich brought an action to have the marriage annulled on the ground that the second husband, Terence Grogan, was still alive. An affidavit was produced in court purporting to come irom one Terence Grogan in the State of Washington. Mrs. Dulcich denies that tho aflidavit is from her former husband, but it is attested before a notary and on tne strength of it her marriage with Duleich was annulled. Mrs. Dulcich, or Dobin or Grogan, is very confident that she can prove sucha case that tbe court will eventnally award her haif the East Oakland property.

Ad- dresses were given by a number of cam- paign speakers, among whom were Hon. | William Lair Hill, W. H. Friend, Super-‘ visor Johnston, G. A. Norton and Al Be nard. Hon. William Lair Hill, candidate | for the Judgeship of Alameda Count was the principal speaker of the evening. He touched incidentally on local politics, but quickly passed into the 4i the more important Nationat i “Two questions,” said he, ‘‘are para- mount in tiis campaign—protection and money. KRepublicans say that proiection is the main issue, while Democrats and Populists insist that free silver should take precedence. The Democratic party | has oue head and two tails and the tails | are wagging in different directions. The Republican party bas but one head and | one tail and both always work in nar- mony. As the Democrats are claiming that free silver is the one thing essential | for the betterment of the condition of the people of the United States, the Repub- licans will meet them on their own eround, notwithstanding the evasion of the main issue of protection by the silver- ites, in comrarison to which the money | question sinks into insignificance. **What good would itdo to send silver dollars abroad to purchase manufactured goods when our own workmen are idle? Bet the wheels of industry whirling again and the silver question will adjust itself.” The apolause which followed this ad- dress was long and loud. 8chool Trustee George A. Norton, who | is a candidate for the Assembly from the i Fifty-first District, spoke next. He pre- sented some strong logical arguments in favor of protection and sound money.

Fones has turned Socialist and will leave shortly on an electioneer- ing tour of the northern part of the State. The announcement reads: During the coming week J. H. Fones, promi- | nentin Oakiand politieal circles, wiil leave on a novel electioneering tour of Northern California. He proposes to tour that end of the State in a wagon, delivering lectures where he thinks they will do ihe most good and seattering socialist literature with e lavish hand. James Andrews of Berkeley wiil leave on & similar mission next week. Mr. Founes is a politiclan of kaleido- scopic history, but although prominent in Oakland political circles at one time, he has not bren seen over here for several months. It was not until to-day that he was a socialist. About a year ago Mr. Fones was an ardent Prohibitionist. He was one of the most regular orators who occupied the bandstand in the City Hall Park, and he dispensed prohibition with a liberal hand, to the great amusement of his hearers. 8o convinced was he that probibition alone could save the nation and emancipate mankind that he turned author and wrote sfv;ral pamphlets to prove that he was right. Mr. Fones three years ago wasan ardent Methodist. He was one of the most de- vout of the worshipers at the First Metho- dist Church. This was during the pastor- ate of the Rev. E. R. Dille. Fones held some minor official position in the church and one day he issued & manifesto that took all the members by surprise. He de- clared that th re was no Christianity in a church that did not come out openly from the pulpit and advocate prohibition. Mr. Foues tried to induce Dr. Dille to join politics with religion, but the Methodist divine did not see the force of Mr. Fones’ argument and the polity of the church was not changed. Mr. Fones lefit and gained considerable notoriety by preach- ing on the street. He was arrested occa- sionally and it was maialy because of his street meetings that the present ordinance was passed, ‘I am not surprised that Fones is a socialist,”” said one of nis old church- mates to-day. *“I thiok it would be a good thing for him to take a tour of Northern California. When he returns f" w.ill provably be converted to McKin- ey.” inmel Andrews of Berkeley is a man who has long been identitied as an active worker in the ranks of organized labor. He is a very clear, logical talker and a well-informed man.

Editor Call: The statement of your Alameda correspondent that taxes in tiat city will be materially lowered this year by reason of municipal ownership of its eleetric-light plant was based on erroneous information. When the Clty Trustees decided to enlarge the plant for the purpese, among other things, of in- creasing the income of the eity from the sale of incandescent lights, it was expected that the eniargement would be effected in time to permit of some of the benefit therefrom to ac- crue during the ensuing fiscal year. But by reason of the delay of the improve- ments, caused by vexatious injunction sui the city will notderive any financial adv tage from the new plant uutil after the co: mencement of another tiscal year. While the Trustees expect to be able to levy & lower rate than was levied last year (which wes $1 22 in- stead of $1 24) the lower rate will be aue to causes otver than income from the electric light plant. Next year, however, it is ex= pected that a still jurther reduction can be made as a result of municipal ownership. BRAINARD C. BROWN, Secrelulry Municipal Ownership League of Ala- dd. Pk O CHERP LB Collis P. Huntingtcn's Note to the Foreign Commerce Bureau. The Writer Evidently Misunderstands the Movement for Foreign Trade. The San Francisco Bureauof Commerce two weeks 2go mailed a communication to members of the different commereial organizations in this City, and to local and Mastern capitalists having larze in- terests on tne Pacific Coast, asking for aid in an effort to induce countries, particu- larly those bordering on the-Pacific Ocean, to trade with San Francisco. This letter is signed by the Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, Manufactur- ers’ and Producers’ Association and tem of the principal business firms in tha City. A lengthy reply has been received from C. P. Huntington, in which the pres- jdent of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company assures the bureau that he is pleased to see a movement jor the build- ing up of tke foreign commerce of San Francisco, but he doubts its sutcess. Mr. Huntington says: To-day the population of California is, I sup- pose, something less than 1,300,000; yet she is in my ominn entirely capable of sustaining 25,000,000 of people. - She has been unable to draw within her borders the crowding masses of good, thrifty colonists whom she has the right, by reason of her natural advantages, to expect; and the reason of this does not lie alone in the distance of the State from tne greater centers of business and civilization. Iam told that at the present time lands can be purchased at figures that ought to be suffi- ciently attractive to induce settlers to improve them. I believe there are fewer people in the Sacramento Valley to-day, outside of the city of Sacramento, ihan there were twenty-five years ago, which is certainiy signifiacnt of something, and unless some measures can be devised to draw population to the Western siope, particularly of Californis, J see very lit- tle use of bringing large amounts of foreigm £0ods to the San Francisco market. Then the writer speaks of the cheaper rates by which foreign tonange can come to the United Statesvia the Suezcanal and over the Atlantic than by way of Ban Francisco. I would very much like to join in any move- ment which Would tend, in ‘my honest judg. ment, to settie up the State of California, ot to build up imporiant manuiacturing interests there; but goods cannot be manufactured to eny considerable extent until her people change tneir present attitude and policy toward legitimate enterprises. So long as the licy of California is to_drive out the cheap abor of the world the State cannot compete successiully with the East or with outside countries. Mr. Huntington is skeptical regarding the green fruit shipments to outside mar- Kkets, but i3 enthusiastic over thedried and preserved fruit industry. He writes: There i8 no place in the world where men can do better work than in San Francisco, por where they can live fairly well for a smailer amount of money. I think if one was allowed to get common labor in the cheapest market the cheap fibers of Eastern Asia could be menufactured into woofs and cordage and twine, and from California distributed and marketed in any part of the world, and hold their own againsi any competition thai could be brought against them. The writer then says that the railroads have been unjustly vilified and abused by more than one of tha journalsin San Francisco, and says that he cares ‘‘very little personally for such matters,” but he thinks it & suicidal policy on the part of the people to countenance any newspaver whose course is opgo:ed to the progress of prosperity of the State, and is based on motives discreditable to decency, morality and humanity.” Mr. Huntington, after his plea for cheap foreign labor and the products thereof, says: If we can do snything toward building up the farming, industrial and commerd¢ial in. terests of Calitornia we shall be glad to do continuing work in that excellent direction, as we have done heretofore. We shall be glad to help foreign commerce also wherever a satisfactory way to do so can be shown; but foreign commerce will come nearer taking care of itself aiter the domestic interests of the State have been fostered and developed than almost anything else will. I am, gentiemen, sincerely yours, C. P. HUNTINGTON. ) CRAB-FISHER' STOR Coming Home From Sea in lhe' Early Morning He Saw a Wreck. It Was That of a Yacht on Her Beam Ends With All Sails Fu'ly Set. Last Friday mofning between 3 and 4 o'clock C. Domingo, a crab-fisher, coming home with two companions in his boat, the Morning Star, states that he saw a large sailboat or yacht floating on her beam ends. The wreck, according to Domingo’s statement, was drifting be- tween the bellbuoy and Point Bonita. ‘There was considerable of her port bilge above the water and the vessel appeared 1o be about 35 feet in length. The bottom of the bull had a coat of copper paint and the null itself was psinted white. Domingo and his two men are positive that some of her sails were set, as they could see the end of the gaff with the cor- ner of a bit of cinvas swinging on the sur- face of the water. It was not light enough for them to dis- tinguish the rig of the derelict, but they are satisfied that from her graceful lines as showihg above the water she was a yacht. Sie was drifung very fast in the swift current. Inquiry at the Merchants’ Exchangeand along the water front failed to elic y information regarding a loss or the sailing of any craft of that description. . Whether some vessel has flonu adrift from her mooringu, or some pleasure yacht has been capsized with all on board; ¢ould not be learneda last evening.
