In regard to the postof Mayor, he said, the names of Horace Davis and James D. Phelan had been mentioned, the prefer- ence having been given to Mr. Phelan. This announcement was greeted with much applause. & Ex-Mavor Ellert asked that rules be sus- pended in order to permit the nomination of the Hom. J. C. B. Hebbard for Superior Judge. Mr. Mr. Hallidie opposed any suspension of the roles and asked that the matter of nominations to the post of Superior Judge be referred to the judiciary committee. Barclay Healey, L. R. Ellert, C. B.

At last it was re- solved to continue. Votes on the nom- nations for Mayor were called for, Mr., Davis receiving one, Mr. Taylor five and Mr. Phelan the remainder.

A Peddler Bought the Animal for 85 and He Was Found to Be Diseased. A glandered horse was killed in front of the Board of Health office yesterday, by Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A ped- dler callea in the morning and reported that he had bought the horse, which was evidently sick, for $5, and wanted to know what Was the matter with the animal. An examination by the veterinary of the board showed that the horse was saffering with giande nd Mr. Holbrook was tel- h the result mentioned. WIS KFELD FOR AUSSI Colonel De Wogack, Military Agent of the Czir, Is in the City. Colonel de Wogack, for five years past military agent of Russiain China and Japan, and who accompanied Li Hung Chang on his trip throughout Europe, and as far as New York, arrived here yester- day and is'at the Palace, The colonel is one of the most distin- guished military'men in the Orient. He served all through the Chinese-Japanese war, and was an eyewitness to most of the great batties, He left the Orient in April last, and was with Li Hung Chang at the | coronation of the Czar. Hethen attended the great exhibition in London with him, and afterward accompanied the noted Chinese to Paris and other great cities. “I was the Japanese army with Marshai Yamagata,” said Colonel de Wo- gak. “Iwent with him through Korea, and was aiso with him in Manchuria. I saw a great many of the engagements, witnessing them for my Government and studying the situation, “Then with the second army, I was_at Colonel de Wogack, Military Agent of Russia in China and Japan, [Sketched from life by a “Call” artist.] Port Arthur, seeing the great contest there, and so continued until the close of the war. “The difference between Japan and Chinain this war was, that Japan had trained soldiers, Of course she had good warships and they were well manned, ana the arms on sea and on shore were all that could be desired. China had good arms too, but her soldiers were not trained; the difference was in the training. *'So far as the story of the pressjdis- patches is concerned, that the purpose of the visit of Li Mung Chang to the different countries of the woild was preparatory to opening the ports of China, 1 believe the ports are all pretty well opened now. Li Hung Chang has stood his trip well, not- withstanding the fact that he is 74 ears old. I got a letter from some of is friends since my arrival here, and they tell me that he got through in excellent condition. “Now as to the story that Russia is about to take possession of Korea, it seems to me that Russia does not intend todo this or it would have been done long ago. She could have iaken possession of the country at any timeeshe desired, but Rus- sia did not do so, and, as I understand it, she only wants that Korea shall remain an independent country. You know the Government there has not been very stable for a good while. “As for Japan losing Formosa, as has also been reported, I see no reason why it should lose that couniry. There is nobody there except some Chinese and some na- tives that it can easily keep in subjection, and there is no cduse whatever that I can see why Japan should lose Formosa.” Cotonel de Wogack will be here only « short time. He will sail for Japan in the Doric on her next trip. Piles! Piles! Ma Infallible Pile Cure. Cures all cases of blind, bleeding, itching and ymlmdlnxglolzn. Price 50¢.

To this is added a postseript, which reads: The verdict as written is true in every par- ticular, and the above about — is my dying declaration. And now that I am dead, Mr, Jake Silverstein, B.

There were hall a dozen other letters, one being addressed to his wife and a sec- ond to the public at large. In all of these he referred in bitter terms of the reverena Femlemm who, he claims, ruined his ife. Attached to his wife’s leiter is a check for $3 75, payable to his daughter Pauline and arawn on the First National Bank. Phillips also left an inscription for his tombstone, as follows: PHILIP PHILLIPS, Loving husband of Sarah and affectionate father of Pauline Phillips, BORN Sevtember 23, 1839, DIED September —, 1896, P. C. R. Court Washington 37, F. of A, In the letter addressed to the public Phillips tells his friends not to worry PHILIP PHILLIPS at b the Receiving Hospital. locked and boltea the door, swallowed a dose of chloroform and lay down on a pile of cloth to die. Attorney Nagle happened to call at Phiilips’ shop, and was surprised to find it locked and the curtains down. He spoke to F. K. Weiss, the florist, next door, about it, and together they went in search of Policeman Frank Riley. The three tried to open the door, but it resisted their combined efforts, and finally they broke the glass in the door and were able to force an entrance. They found Phillipe. in an unconscious condition, and he was driven rapidly to the Receiving Hospital in the patrol- wagon.. Dr, Rinne administered antidotes withount effect, and the conclusion was reached that his prospect of recovery was | verv slight, | Paillips was a prominent member ot | the Ancient Order of Foresters. He was a past chief ranger and at present holds the office of deputy chief ranger of Court Magnolia and treasurerof Court Washing- ton. de was short In his accountsto | Court Washington, which was discovered abont two weeks ago. The Suraty Com- pany, being apprised of the shoruge, | threatened to have him' arrested, but his friends came to his rescue and promised to make good the shortage yesterday. They were unable to do so and ‘asked for and obtained another day’s grace. Ever since the shortage was discovered Phillips had been threatening to poison himself. Abouta week ago he attempted to swallow a dose of carbolic acid, but a friend happened to be present and took the bottle from him. Yesterday mornin about 10 o’clock he showed another lneng a bottle and said he was going to poison himself with 1t. Ho appeared greatly worried about what the Surety Company would do, aithough his friend told him it | would be all right. i Phillipswas also in debt to the extent of about §200, and he was unhappy in bis domestic relations. His wife and daugh- ter left him abouta year ago, and have been living at 425 Stevenson street. When { Policeman Riley called upon Mrs, Phillips andnotified herthat her husband had taken | poison she remarked that he wasa fool. He asked her togo with him to see her hus- band, but she at -first objected that her | dinner would be spoiled. She finaily went with him, and raised arow because the glass in the door had been broken. At the hospital she said she was forced to leave him, as his whole time was given up to attending lodge meetings, Phillips left a number of letters. which were found in his vest pockets. Qne, ad- dressed to Court Washington, had on the corner *‘If not delivered return to Pbilip Phillips, Hills of Eternity.”” Another was addressed to Court Magnoliay a third to his brother, Joel Phillips, Sydney, Aus- tralia, and the fourth to F. K. Welss. An opened unsigned letter to his wife reads as follows: Dear Sarak: 1 have written to the Coroner }“:’(' to take me to the Morgue; he also has a etter. I also wrote to the Rev. Rabbi Julius Fryer to officiate at the funeral; it Jake would mot nflbject I would lika to be buried alongside otty. Yozx will find a small Mexican lottery ticket in my purse for Thursday; also pawn ticket for my watch, ring and pin. My gold pin is in my vest pocket. My rent is paid to October 1. 1f you keep it Charley will be giad to buy you out. Phillips also sent a big batch of letters, evidently intended for publication, to the Coroner. They were replete with harsn sentiments ceriously reflecting on a well- known rabbi. The letter to Dr. Hawkins read as follows: September 16, 1896. Dr. Hawkns, Coroner, or His Deputies, Wil- tiam Hallett and the Others: Xou aré sarpsised 10 get this from me, but as we are friends and brothers you will oblige me by complying with my request. Do not take me Lo the Morgue, but let me remain where I am or send me to McGinty. A post-mortem is not necessary, as you will see by the verdict I write. But you can say if you wish thet the hypocrite, black- leg, thief, Rev. —, is morally the cause of it. From December 5, 1885, to June 14, 1888, he demlndfid and collecied from my wife during my absence every month from ana to those dates money represented to be paid to the enfeeble-minded institution. He did not pay it in the institution, but appropriated it to his own use. He also boughto ud & balftickets to Australia May 8, 1886, af szchlnm under the guise of a minister for charity and sold them at full rates, * * Coionel Har- yey was anxious to send hi Ban Quentin, but I stopped it,and that is the gratitade of & DIOuS 13 pporite wWho WALk ‘the sirest seeking vietims whom we never hear of, and , the Third-street pawnbroker, is his ally, who re spects men of his caliber. 1t is well for the re- people toknow who they talk to or as- ;| about his shortage, as the Surety Com- pany will make it good. Phillips regained consciousness Jast night, but he was too weak to talk. The doctors think that be will recover. GROCERS GET READY. The Association of Retail Dealers Dis- cuss Plans for the Coming Campaign. The political situation formed the sub- ject of debate at a large and enthusiastic aneeting of the Retail Grocers’ Association last night. Mr. Nobmann explained that, pursuant to an invitation issued by the directors of the Retail Grocers’ Association, commite tees Irom various organizations of liquor- dealers met and decided to leave all action to a meeting of the directors of all the in- terested associations. This meeting was called and it was de- cided to form a clubto be composed of three delegate from each association. Of this club, which was named the Whole- sale and Retail Liquor Dealers’ League, Mr. Nobmann said he had been made vice- chairman. He then outlined their plans 80 far as they were perfected. A list was to be made of the 12,000 men interested in the liquor business. 'To each of these, a day or so before election, a ticket would be mailed bearing the names of those candidates who were friendly to the interests of the liquor-dealers. These men the liquor-dealers would be expected to vote for. Mr. Nobmann also explained that precautions were belng taken to pre- vent any imitation of the ticket used by the league. Numerous speeches followed. They showed that the members of the associa- tion were all in earnest and were deeply interested in the outcome of the yund?ng election. A DIAMOND BADGE. Captain Wittman Honored With a Handsome Gift by the Mer- chants Last Night. Last night-certain of San Francisco’s representative merchants assembled at Bergez's restaurant, 334 Pine street, and after a sumptuous feast presented Captain Wittman with a most beautiful diamond badge as a token of their appreciation. M. J. Sahlein made the toast to Captain ‘Wittman, which was respouded to very appropriately by Attorney Charles L. Welier. ~ Weller showered encomiums upon Cap- tain Wittman and the Police Department in general, after which he presented the officer with the badge. It consisted of a gold and silyer shield. Across the top, in gold letters on blue enamel, was inscribed “‘Captain of Police.” At the base was a bear, emblematic of the State, and the initials 8. F.; in the center was a large diamond; on the back was inscrived, **Pre- sented to Captain Geoszge W. Wittman by the werchants of San Francisco, Septem- ber, 1806, Committee, 8. C. Beaver. g‘ M. Cluff and John McClrtlw." Inresponse, Captain Wittman said that this was one of the occasions when his heart was too full for utterance, but he hoped he woirll never do anything to bring disgrace upon the emblem, Sapervisor Dimond arose and eompli- mented the captain on his gift, saying he hoped it would be changed only in case of promotion. Captain Wittman in reply gnid an eloguent tribute of respect to Chief rowley. The gathering adjourned amid general conviviality and good will, ——— CONTRACTS AWARDED, City Hall Commissioners Let Out Work for the Tower of the Building, The City Hall Commissioners decided yesterday to give the Board of Health a room in the hall for the use of its chemist and bacteriologist, and tendered the use of Judge Elack’s old courtroom, which will be used for the present. The contract for the marble tiling in the nirst and second galleries of the tower was awarded to W. H. McCormick for $5340, the specifications calling for Amador marble. The contract for wainscoting went to the Inyo Marble company for $4798. i { b JOHN . MORE AS AN EMBEZILER Judge Coffey Officially Makes That Grave Accusation. OVER 812,000 MISSING. Removed From the * tratorship of the More Estate. Adminis- A P ELIZA MILLER SUBSTITUTED. Santa Rosa Island Cattle Were Sold and the Proceeds Not Ac- counted For. Judge Coffey yesterday removed John F. More from his position as adminis- trator of the estate of A. P. More, and in- cideutally remarked that the ex-adminis- trator has been gwlty, among other misdeeds, of embezzling $12,000 belonging to the estate. A. P. More was a wealthy owner of live- stock, and died October 23, 1893, leaving no will. On February 12, 1894, John F. More was appointed administrator of his estate, part of which consisted of 1500 head of cattle and 40,000 sheep at pasture on Santa Rosa Island. John F. More continued in complete charge of the affairs of the immense prop- erty until a few months ago, when Mrs. Eliza Miiler, one of the heirs at law of the deceased, became _convinced that all was not as it should be, and made application to have More ousted. He was temporarily’ suspended by Judge Coffey and Mrs Miiler granted special letters of adminis- tration, As a result of tbe investigation which followed, Judge Coffev made the order filed yesterday. His Honor says in part: “I find that between October 1, 1895, and January 1, 1896, John F. More embezzled from the funds intrusted to him $12,000. During the period named he sold a num- ber of cattle to the Western Meat Com- pany, from which concern ne received over $14,000, $12,000 of which he has failed to account for. “When the estate was turned over to Mr. More there were on Santa Rosa Island 40,000 sheep and 1500 cattle. A commis- sioner sent to investigate has reported that there are now on theisland 25389 sheep. Mr. More reported to this court that the full number was there when he knew there were less than 31,000 on hand. “A lot of abalone shells, etc.. have also been rold and the proceeds appropriated by the administrator. “The land has also been depastured by utfck belonging to John F. More person- ally."” Judge Coffey further recites how Mr. More has time and again failed to be pres- ent in court when cited toappearand how other judicial orders have been disre- garded, and concludes by ordering his re- moval from the administratorship. Mrs, Eliza Miller is appointed in More’s stead, and proceedings to recover the missing funds will probably be at once in- stituted. KELLY-MAHONEY. Some Further Nominations Made and Some Verbal Bouquets Thrown. The Kelly-Mahoney followers assembled at Pioneer Hall last night and added names to their list of self-sacrificing as- pirants for public office. Judge John F. Finn and Judge John Hunt sent letters accepting their nomina- tions and promising to render all the as- sistance in their power to elect the nomi- nees of the convention, A delegate vouched for Carroll Cook’s acceptance of the nomination for the Su- perior bench. Delegate Ruef placed Edward I. Sheehan in nomination for the office of Tax Col- lector. Captain Blennerhasset of the water front, in a spread-eagle speech, sec- onded the nomination. Sheehan was declared the nominee by acclamation. He appearea and indorsea the platform. Secretary A. J. Morgenstern placed Archibald Barnard in nomination for the position of City and County Attoraey. There were no others who sought the office. Gaston Strauss placed David L. Farns- worth in nomination for Street Superin- tendent. He wentthrough on a rush, not, however, without a positive “no” from Ray Falk, who eaid that was the first time in his life that he did not swallow the pro- gramme, Colonel Kowalsky nominated Madison Babcock for Superintendent of Schools. He went through, but later on Martin Kelly discovered that there was a blur on the sldte, and he consequently gave notice of reconsideration at to-night’s meeting, when no doubt Babcock will come down, as the push does not want him. H. I. Willey and Lott D. Norton were placed in nomination for Surveyor. Nor- ton was the boys’ favorite, consequently he won out by a vote of 191 to 47 for Willey. Leon Dennery was nominated for t Assembly for the Forty-third, John Glassford for the Thirty-ninth and M. W. Littlefield for the Thirty-seventh. Quite an array of names were placed be- fore the convention for Supervisors from the twelve wards of the City. Previous to adjourning James McCabe offered a series of resolutions lauding the convention and finding fault with all those who do not bbw down before the KellysMahoney throne. The People’s Church.

Here is a good example of Pat’s wit and readiness. An Irish witness was being examined as to his knowledge of a shooting affair. “Did you see the shot fired?”’ the magistrate asked. “No, sorr. I only heard it,” was the evasive reply. “That evidence is not satisfactory,’” replied the magistrate stern- 'stand down "’ box, and directly his back was turned he laughed derisively. The magistrate, in- dignant at this contempt of court. called him back, and asked him how he dared to laugh in court. “Did ye see me langh, your Honor?” queried the offender. *No, sir, but 1 heard you,” was the irate reply. “That evidence is not satisfactory,” said Pat quietly, but with a twinkle in hic eye, And this time everybody laughed except the magistrate.—Westminster Gazette. ‘The bones of l;’nm s having more lime in them than those of young people are, therefore, more brittle.

How many unfortunate men have vio- lated the.laws of natare and are now pay- ing the penalty ? Some have been addicted to foolish habits in their youth; some have oyer- indulged laterin life; while others have wearied themselves into unmanly weak- | Mness over bad crops, business reverses or financial failure. In one way or znother they have overdrawn on their stock of vitality, which is getting dangerously low. As aconsequence they have lost their grip on life. Every little annoyance seems a mouantfain of despair. Every speck in the heavens looks like an over- whelming shadow.
