14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1896. THE MYSTERY . OF & MILKCAN Members of Three Families Made Sick by Drink- ing the Contents. Suspicion Was Held Concerning Poison, but an Analysis Showed No Resuit. ALL SYMPTOMS IDENTICAL. The Remaining Milk Will Be Testcd Once More by the Health Authorities. Three families were made sick Tusesday night by drinking milk, all of which came from one can, this can having . been brought from a dairy in San Mateo County to Becker’s grocery-store on the southeast corner of Sutter and Taylor streets. Four persons residing in the tenement above Becker’s store were made ill. Two of these are Mr. Becker's young daughters. Two others are ladies from the interior, a Mrs. Watson and her daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Becker were ab- sent from the City, so they did not drink any of the milk, but a young man who is employed in the Becker store, William Kroencke, suffered. Two physicians, Drs. Bunker and Davis, whose offices are in the neighborhood, worked about all Tuesday night and until 8 o'clock yesterday morning in at- tendance upon Mrs. E. F. Dugan and her daughter of 632 Sutter street. They were worse than the mem- bers of the Becker household. As they were sick after drinking the miik, the connection was clearly established in their ceses. Another familv on Sutter street, near Jones, drank the milk and were made ill. ‘When the physicians and their several clients compared notes vesterday it was found that the symptoms were identical in all the cases. All the persons appeared to have been poisoned, but the probabil- ities were otherwise against such a sup- position. Itis true that the milkean was placed in an areaway some heurs before Becker’s store was opened, and there was ample opportunity for any one to tamper with it, but it was not thought to be prob- able that any one would poison a whole can of mitk and place in peril many un- known persons. When the driver of the San Mateo concern, which had supplied the milk, came around Wednesday he was surprised to hear what had occurred. He took away what was left in the milkean to have it analyzed by the authorities at the City Hall. Mrs. Dugan is the mother of Mr. Dugan, the druggist and chemist, whose piace of business is on the southwest corner of Taylor and Sutter streets, directly opposite Becker’s. Some milk remaining in his mother’s house, he caused an analysis of | it to be made in his store. A search first was made for arsenic, strychnine and morphia. No traces oi any mineral or other poison were discovered, and last nigit the secret of the illness of Mrs. Dugan and the others remained un- expiained, but t.ere was no question that the milk cansed it. Most of the milk want into tea, so that no one drank very much. This it consid- ered to have been especiaily fortunate, for the majority of the victims were very ill. Four were not fully recovered last night, the two ladies from the country and Mrs. Dugan and her daughter. All'the symp- toms were similar to poisoning cases. Mr. Kroencke drank the milk at noon and was sick 1n the afternoon. The others bad the milk at night and were sick some hours later. One or two others are re- ported to have sufferea slightly, but this 1s not verified. The can in which ihe liquid was taken to Becker's was an ordinary three-gallon affair. There is no suspicion concerning any person. The general opinior in the neigaborhood is tuat the milk was unfit to drink when it was delivered. SUED FOR DIVORCE. Mrs. Winnie L. Bresse Says Her Hus- baud Has Deserted Her. Mrs. Winnie L. Bresse, whose husband, a member of the firm of Lewis McGlauflin & Co., disappeared over a year ago, nas brought suit for divorce on the ground of desertion. Bresse has not been heard from since June, 1895, when he so mysteriously dropped out of sight. He has not com- municatea with his wife or with any one elseus far as is known. Mrs. Bresse is the daughter of Harbor Commissioner Cole. —————— Rival Bootblacks. L. Nicolai and Luigi Costa are rival boot- blacks on opposite corners ot Geary and Mason streets. Nicolai yesterday swore to a com- plaint in Judge Joachimsen's court charging Costa_witn malicious mischief. He alleges that Nicolai, being jealous of the big business be was doing, gave 4 boy named James Phelan #1 to put muriatic acid in his bostiz oi b.uck- ing. The result was that the snoes of two cus- tomers of Nicolri were spoiled. Costa was ar- rested and gave $40 cash ba NEW TO-DAY. L The most potent rem- edy ever called upon in a case of emer- gency.

FEED BEOWN C0., PHILADELPHIA, ,The Man Who Tries to Lok Like \"y I l ,’,‘ s y i Divine Healer Schrader Receiving the Multitude at His Hotel, While His Agent Sells Photographs. PEOPLE FLOCK TO SEE THE "HEALER" An Agent at the Door Does a Land Office Business. Selis Photographs at Any Price That One May Choose To Pay. IT PROVES VERY PROFITABLE. Christ Talked German an Irish Lady. to Ag early as 7 o’clock yesterday morning a stream of people of ail descriptions ana conditions set in toward the little upper front room in the International Hotel whicn is occupied by Schrader, the “di- vine healer.” A force of employes of the hotel were called into requisi.ion to keep tne stream in the common chaunels of the hotel and prevent its overflowing into all the hall- ways of the upper floor and becoming a mob. The people were required to keep in line and the line extended from the sidewalk down the hall, up the winding stairs, along the upper hallways to the healer’s room. The healer’s room is a small affair, with cheap faded furnishings, a small- single bed. two chairs, a washstand and abureau. In the center of this room stood the healer all day affecting to cure or relieve bv “the laying on of hands” as rapidly as the peopie came forward. His appear- ance was calculated to affect’ the imvres- sionable by its likeness to that of Christ— the generally accepted likeness of Christ. A little above medium height, slim figure, clad in a flowing black robe, a rather hand- some face, the features large and regular, mild brown eyes, a kindly but not a weak expression, brown whiskers and long hair parted in the middle. A silver crucifix was suspended by acord from his neck and across his breast was a biack ribbon with stitched upon it the legend: **Divine Healer Scurader.” The methous were all those of Schlatter, the Denver healer, with the addition of a sale of photographs going on all the time as a side issue. The *Divine Healer,” who has got himself up to o closely resemble Christ, took in not less than $100 yesterday with- out so far.as appeared effecting a solitary cure. He charges nothing, but his *“man- ager’’ or ‘‘agent’ is stationed at the door, and as each of the afflicted retires after the ‘“‘treatment’’ he or she is asked.if they wish to buy a photograph, ' The photo- graph which he offers ‘shows the healer in different poses. The price being gsked the agent answers: ‘‘Anything that you wish to give.”” This throws the “*healed”’ upon his or her gen- erosity, and the result averages higher than would a fixed price for the card. For instance, the first man to apply to the healer yesterday morning was Julius Finck of Wil & Finek, suffering with and hoping to be relieved from rheumatism. ‘When he met the man'at the door with his photographs he handed hima $5 gold piece. The next man or woman may have given him 10 cents and may have passed out without taking a photograph at all. But those who dia that were few, and it is safe to average 25 cents for every man, woman aund cunild who pasged in and out of the little upper room during the day, and the stream was uninterrupted, except for the brief periods that the healer took for his meals. 2 The stream of people, as stated, repre- sented all conditions of people suffering with all manner of complaints, ovnly a few of which iatter were stated. 'A larpe proportion were well-dressed and seem- ingly well-to-do men and women.. There were lame and deaf and blind, old people on crutches and children in arms. Rx‘deed there were several who were treated by proxy, being unabie to go themselves, a mother or some near friend representing them and carrying away to the sufferer a handkerchief that haa been blessea. The ‘‘treatment,” as the healer “himself called it, oeccupied but a minute in each case. The afflictea person stepped forward from his place atthe head of the line. The healer placed one large hand upon the forehead and another at the back of the head, and pressing them closely for an instent, looked with wrapt gaze toward the ceiling. Then be would change the position of the hands to the right breast and the shoulder blade, then to the left breast relatively, then to the stomach. Then he would take the two handsand hold them in his own for another instant, forward and in a soft voice asks “Have you a handkerchief?”’ The sufferer produces a handkerchief— sometimes a very dirty one—and the healer moids it as he would a piece of putty in his hands, clasps it tightly and agamn looks upward for an instant in the attitude of prayer. Then, placing it in the patient’s hands he says: “Take this; apply it to the affected parts night and morning until you are well. God bless you.” He is then ready for the next. During the entire day the healer never forgets his demeanor of extreme quiet and com posure, although instances were not wanting cal- culated to cause him to do so. Having gone through hisformula in the case of 2 man who complained of being hard of hearing he said in a low tone, “Where do yofl% ve?” The man put his hand to his ear. “Where do you live?” said Schrader. The man drew closer and held bis hand wider open to catch the sound. Schrader repeated a lIittle louder and the man caught the words. Schrader said, “I am not talking loud.’”’ “Yes, but I am very close to you,” said the man. ‘‘Yes, indeed,” said 8chrader, devoutly, “You are very close to me.” A big, healthy - looking gray - haired woman stepped up to the healer, and he addressed her in his low voice in German. *‘What’s that?” she asked. The divine healer said it again, and the woman an- swered even more mystified. “You are German?” inquired the healer. *‘No, I am Irish,’’ replied the astonished old lady with a distinct and musical brogue. In very many instances the sufferers confessed to feeling petter after the treat- ment, and all were assured that by follow- ing the directions to apply the blessed handkerchief they would get well, and al- most all went away looking as if they be- lieved that they would. A number of people came on cratches, but in every in- stance they returned on them also. MIOBEIS FLL UL, Lawyers in the Quill Damage Suit Wrangle Over Testimony. Evidence Is Given by a Small Boy Alleged to Have Been Bought for a Pass For a few momeunts yesterday it looked as though the cat was out of the bag in the Quill suit. The attorneys for the plaintiff and the lawyers representing the railroad bristled up and suggested to one another that each was running his own case to suit bimself, and that the others had better mind their own business. The controversy arose over a question asked Allyn Templeton by the plaintiff’s attorney. He was requested to give his opinion as to the truth of the testimony of the Smith boy, given at the Coroner’s inguest. Assoon as the name Smith was men- tioned the Southern Pacific’s legal repre- sentative leaped to his feet and poured forth a voluble objection, It was alleged that the other side was afraid to put the lad on the stand, and offers to reopen the case were made if it would do so. Then Attorney Sullivan offered to produce the pass the boy s said to have receivea. This occasioned another war, which was_finally stopped by Judge Daingertfield ruling out the question. There were four witnesses examined yesterday, and the case will go on again to-day. —————— DAIRYMEN DIRECTORS. Close- of the Third Annual Session. Officers Are Elected. The Dairymen’s Association closed its third annual meeting at 12 o’clock yester- day. > y The proceedings of the forenoon con- sisted of & paper by A. H. Shrite, in which California creamery matters were com- pared with those of the East. William Vanderbilt made suggestions as to amend- ments to the dairy laws'by the next wevis- lature, which would establish a general system of inspection of dairigs, and a code of laws regulating the State’s right to de- stroy diseased cattle, instead of leaving so important u.subject to the control of local boards of health, as is the case now. To this end the legislative committee was instructed to confer with dairymen, veterinary surgeons anl others, and to Frepnre a bill for presentation to the Leais- ature for the inspection of.dairies and herds, to secure pure dairy products. Secretary Samuel E. Watson read his annual report, after which the following named were elected directors for _the ensuing year: William Niles, A. P. Mare tin, Samuel E. Watson, Joseph Maillard, F. H. Green, W. P. A, Brewer, M. P. Han- sen, H. M. Le Baron, P. Tognazzini, John A. Cole and G. R. 8o —————— Fell ¥rom the Roof. E. F.

Eaton Garnishees for a Big Claim. He Loaned Florence Blythe $10,000 When Funds Were Very Scarce. A SUIT WAS FILED YESTERDAY Attorney Mhoon Tells Why the Legal Proceedings Were Begun at This Time. The many and valuable properties of Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley are again in the hands of the Sheriff, this time on the suit of Capitalist John D. Eaton of this City, who wants satisfaction for a claim of $25,000. During the dark days when a horde of Blythes were battling in the Probate Court for a share of the millions of the de- ceased Thomas Blythe, Mr. Eaton mate- rially assisted Mrs. Blythe Hinckley, then Miss Blythe. Among other things, he advanced her $10.000 in cash to carry on her legal fight, and for this and other services she agreed to pay him $25,000 when she should come into her property. The happy day when she could handle the larger portion of her millions came some time ago, but no settlement with the capitalist has ever been reached and he has begun to be anxious. To secure him- self against loss he recently instructed Attorney John B. Mhoon to file a suit against her covering the claim. The filing of a complaint in the Superior Court and twenty-seven attachments with the Sheriff was the result yesterday. Major Mhoon was seen in Oszkland last night and said: *‘The garnishments filed by me to-day on behalf of Mr. Eaton amount in value to $25000. Some years ago Mr. Eaton, who is a capitalist, per- formed some very material services for Miss Florence Blythe. At one time he loaned her $10,000 and has rendered her many other services. “In return for these she entered into a written contract with him guaranteeing to pay him $25,000 when the estate should be distributed. She now has the property, or a great portion of it, and Mr. Eaton has not yet been able to procure a satisfactory settlement. As a last resort I was in- strucied to bring suit and to issue garnish- ments against her property. “I have attached all lge realty that I believe she owns. This step was rendered necessary, because Mrs. Hinckley is exe- cuting many mortgages and deeds, and Mr. Eaton is not at all corfident that he might not be forgotten till his chance of satisfaction is past. It would be us-le:s :o v;a'i’t until we could find nothing to at- ach. CARNIVAL BENEFIT. Boxers and Wrestlers Who Will Con- test Under the Auspices of the Columbia Club. The programyne for the benefit of the carnival of the Golden Gate by the Colum- bia Athletic Club, at the People’s Palace this evening, presents a number of inter- esting features. The opening event will consist of club- swinging and juggling by Lewis Meyers, the Pacific Coast champion, and boxing by the clever feather-weights, W. Cook and W. Dunigan. A six-round contest with a decision will follow, in which young Hawkins, a brother of Dan Haw- kins, and Jack King will participate. Wrestling matches, catch-gs-catch-can, by Harry Platt against Gus Lawe, and Gus Davis against Joe Meagles will follow. Harry Woods and Jack Hall will box six rounds. - The event of the evening will be an eight-round contest be' ween Frank Ri ael and William Savage for the champion- ip of the coast. . The men have been in active training and are in fine trim for the affair. The managers think that it may be necessary to ze the permit for two addition uts before a decision is arrived at, but in any. event a decision will be rendered. —————— Stray Horse and Buggy. Officer George Delmer of +the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals noticed s horse and buggy standing at the intersection of California and Drumm streets yesterday. For five hours the rig remained in the sun until the horse was almost exhapsted. No- body appearing to know the owner of the turn- out, the officer drove it to the police stables, ‘where it now awaits & claimant. A DAY'S TURN IN A BANK'S ASSETS It Leads to air Attempt to Recover a Large Sum. Captain “Jim” Is Asked to Help Pay Seventy - Five Thousand. SOMEWHAT SENSATIONAL SUIT The Attorney-General Wishes the Bank Commissioners to Join in the Proceedings. Andrew J. Clurie, as attorney for P. F. Dundon, a depositor in the Pacific Bank, will try to demonstrate next Monday in Judge Sewall’s court that the depositors of that institution are entitled to recover $75,000 from James M. McDonald and the directors of the bank. The allegations made by Mr. Clunie in this suit are in substance as follows: That James M. McDonald on August 1, 1895, caused 150 bonds of the par value of $1000 each, or $150,000 in total, to be sold for $75,000; that the purchaser wasS. G. Murphy; that on the succeeding day, namely, August 2, 1895, S. G. Murphy di- rected the Bank of California, which was the depository in which the bonds in question were all held, to deliver the same to James M. McDonald; that,as a matter of fact, the bonds were worth par, or $150,000, and that Captain McDonald in this transaction really cleared up $75,000 by aturn in the securities of the Pacific Bank for his own profit; therefore the court is asked to award $75,000 to the de- positors, of whom P. F. Dundon is one. The somewhat sensational nature of this proceeding is increased by the action which the State of California, through the Board of Bank Commissioners, may take. Attorney-General Fitzgerald has consid- ered the facts which have been presented to him and advised the Bank Commission- ers to join with the depositors of the bank in this attempt to recover $75,000 from Captain McDonald. he general facts connected with. the alleged transaction possess interest for the Pacific Bank depositors, and perhaps not less for the public at large. 8. G. Murphy at the time the bonds, which were the issue of the Los Angeles Consolidated Electric Railway Company, came into his hands, was the San Francisco agent of the National Bank of Commerce of New York, to which institution the Pacific Bank owed $100,000 in round numbers. The sale of the bonds was entered apon the minutes of the directors of the bank as having been maae to effect a settlement with the National Bank of Commerce of New York of their claim at something less than its face value. It is alleged that when the bonds were handed back into the custody of Captain McDon- ald, one day after Captain McDonald had transferred them to 8. G. Murphy, Mec- Donald paid over $75,000, which went to New York and left him in possessiou of the 150 bonds at 50 cents on the dollar of their face or par value. Captain McDonald, at the time the Pa- cific Bank failed, held about 1700 shares of the capital stock of that institution. He se- cured possession of the stock owned by Dr. McDonald, amounting to 5000 shares, and this large block of stock, added to his own holding, gave him a large share of contro! during the period of winding up the bank's affairs. The Los Angeles Elec- tric Consolidated Railway bonds were, at the time of the failure, pledged to the National Bank of Commerce of New York. A part of the testimony upon which Mr. Clunie relies to establish his claim is found in the admission of Captain McDonald when he was under cross-examination be- fore Judge Hebbard in another proceeding connected with the bank litigation and also upon the action of 8. G. Murphy. The defense will probably be that the rail- way bonds were naver worth par of $1000 each. LALARDES OME COMING His Return Will Inaugurate Changes at the French Consulate. Edward Pesoli, the Acting Consul, Goes to Philadelphia as Vice-Consul. There will shortly be a complete change in the present personnel of the French consulate in this City. For nearly a year Laurence de Lalande, the French Consul, has been away in the East and in France. While he was absent the Vice-Consul, Edward A. Pesoli, has had complete charge of the consulate. Lalandi is expected back in a few days, however, and when he resumes his duties Pesoli will retire permanently from any connection with the San Francisco con- sulate. When questioned on the subject yesterday Vice-Consul Pesoli admitted ihat he expected in_the course of a day or two to become a private citizen as far as the Pacific Coast is concerned. This means that the changes gazetted by the French Government during the absence of Lalande in krance, will now come into effect. E. Pesoli is to go to Philadelphia, where he will have charge of the vice consulate there, The change will be a decided promotion for him, as Philadelphia has a large ‘trade with France and is considered one of the best American consulates at the bestowal of the French Government. The Folition left vacant by E. Pesoli here will be filled by M. Rigorean, the Vice Consul at Sidney. He is not ex- pected here for some months. Another new attache of the consulate here, M. Chorat, who comes from the French con- sulate at London, has already arrived. Laurence de Lalande will be the recip- ient of congratulations on his return home, as he received the Uross of the Legion of Honor during h; yin France. —————— A Charter Meeting. There will be a special meeting of the mem- bers of the Union Leagne at the league’s head- quarters this evening, for the consideration and discussion of the proposed new charter for San Francisco. The members of the Board of Freeholders who made the charter have been invited to attend and speak upon the yarious phases of the subject. A 1 attend- ance is expected, and an interested discussion upon the City’s new organic law. ——————— Honored in His Old Home. Dr. Giuseppe Ollino, for many years a resi- dent of this City, has, according to the Italian papers, had honors heaped upon him in his native country, where he is at present staying on a visit. The Gazzetts del Popolo of Turin states that when the doctor visited Rucca d’Arazzo, his Lirthplace, the whole population made thé day a holidiy.

MURPHY Market Sireel, corner of Jongs, BUILDING, SAN FRANOCISOO. LOCAL TURF JOTTINGS, The Bérkeley Field-Book Privi- lege Not as Desirable as at Ingleside. Jockey Chevalier Entertains an Offer to Ride in Mexico—Pinkerton Men May Guard the Track. Bookmaker George Rose now enjoys a monopoly of the field books, having se- curea the privilege both at Ingleside and at Berkeley, the new home of the Califor- nia Jockey Club. For the privilege at Berkeley Mr. Rose bid $300 per day for two books, and not $350, as has been incorrectly stated. Ingle- side track came a trifle higher, the layer of odds biading $350 per day for two books. As a guarantee of good faith Bookmaker Rose deposited the sum of $10,000 with tne California Jockey Club that he would hold to his contract. With the Pacific Coast Jockey Ciub $20,000 was deposited ; that sum, however, not being required by the club as a guarantee that the contract would be kept. Of this sum the amount of tne privilege tor each half- monthly meeting will be deducted as the time for such payment may become due. The stzing of Burns & Waterhouse, in charge of *‘Wizard” Jimmy McCormick, was expected to arrive in California from St. Louis last night. Although the stable developed no ‘‘phenoms,” its different members have earned many winning brackets. Eddie Jones will arrive with the string. 5 Jockey Chevalier, it is reported, will go to Mexico to ride the horses of George Van Gorden. ‘“No Chinese need apply” is now posted in the crown of the colored boy’s hat. It is said that Pinkerton men will re- place Morse’s guardians of the peace on one if not poth of the California tracks. Martinus, who rode several races on the local tracks last season and now pilots the jumper St. Jacob in his winning career, is said to be the peer of any Western jockey over the timber. The sprinter Quicksilver, who started in a five-furlong dash the last day of the Stockton meet but did not win simply because the mercury in the thermometer registered several degrees of temperature in excess of what he is capable of endur- ing, created a very favorable impression. ‘With a slacker jrein he could certainly have covered the five furlongs that day in one minute flat. He «claims imp. Friar Tuck as his sire, which horse ll:.ag also sired those fast ones, Circe, Zamloch and Sport McAllister. It is said he will stop if ‘‘coilared,” but those among the cheaper lot of selling-platers may experience some difficulty in dancing to his music the first quarter of a mile. A local turf-follower is in receipt of a letter from an Eastern friend which states that Midgley is also among the number of jockeys intending to migrate to the coast this winter. ————— Marks Under Arrest.
