THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1896. b R NERRLY SIK FULL FOOTALL TENiS "Berkeley Has Sixty-Two Players on the Suit List. i Fourteen More Ca{ndidates Than‘ Came Out at Any Time Last Year. A 275-FOUND CENTER-RUSH. | The Team Taken as a Whole Is Much Lighter This Year Than Last. BERKELEY, Car., Oct. 16.—Sixty-two | Berkeley football men—almost six com- | plete teams—have taken out playing suits this season, thus signifying their inten- tion of trying for the Vursity eleven. Over fifty of these men come out daily for practice. This remarkable showing far exceeds anything of the kind in all the | history of football at the University of | California. Last year forty-sight suits in | all were given out by the management. Three years ago only half as many men came out as are on the Berkeley gridiron every afternoon this season. Most notable among the previously un- | initiated is A. J. Molera '89, who is prob. ebly the heaviest candidate for football | . honors that ever stepped on a I’ncific! - Coast gridiron, weighing 275 pounds | stripped, Last evening he did his first | work, having lined up as center on the | second eleven. | He is strong about the arms and shoul- | ders, bsing able to “chin himself” twelve | times suecessively on the horizontal bar. | Though somewhat weak in the ankles he | their dec: i, ‘u,y{,',‘( Hopper '98 (End), Berkeley’s! Smallest Football Player. { is able to sprintin better style than most men of his weight and build. He says he | intends training rigut along through the | season. | The nexi lizhter man on the team is | Birdsall, another canaidate for center,who | weighs 207 pounds, a difference of sixty- eight pounds. The lightest player of the entire sixty- two is Jimmie Hopper ’98, who tips the beam at 13 just half the weight of Molers, the big center. The other sixty candidates range all the { way from 140 to 200 pounds, most of wnom weigh about 165. Taking the players asa whole they are about ten pounds lighter than those of last year, though Butter- worth says that what they lack in weight he proposes to have them make up in grit | and endurance. Butierworth gave the boys a lecture’the | other day in the gymnasium, in which he | said that they had too much ceremony | about their playing; that they were afraid | of insulting one another by not apolo- gizing for a hard knock administered, and that if they continued such tactics a “'scrub” team from any of the Eastern colleges could come out here and ‘‘do them up’’ easily. Bince his lecture to them they have been | 4 vutting more snap into their plays, and ave thus been able to make longer ad- ‘vances with the ball and to offer better in- werference. A great deal of attention is being paid to the training of the center and guards, as these places, as well as the tackles, one end and a haifback, will have to be filled with new men. Stanford has | both guards and the center of last year back | agan. Cornish, one of the most promis- | ing candidates for tackle up to a few days ago, cannot play any more this season be- cause of objections made on the part of his family. Belfridge, last year's center, is also laid off permanently for the same reason. Me- Dermott and Birdsall ere the only two re- maining candidates besides Molera for center. Ludlow and Greisberg have both been playing as guard on the first eleven during the week. Bimpson and Castle- bun are still first choice for tackles, Hutchinson i holding down one end, while McNutt, Hopper and Craig are after the other. Back of the line on the Varsity eleven are Ransome at full, Ken- nedy at quarter and Hall and S8herman at halves. %uuerworth has been centering much of his attention for the past week on Hall and Sherman, both of whom seem to be getting into good form. i The Berkeley team will play their sec- ond game of the season to-morrow after- noon at 3 o'clock with the Reliance Club team at Contral Park. Following will be the lineup: Center, Birdsall; guards, Ludlow and Greisberg; tackles, Simpson and Castiehun; ends, Hutchinson and McNutt; quarter, Kennedy;_ halves, Hall and Sherman; full, Captain Ransome, West End Republicans. BERKELEY, CaL., Oct. 16.—The ex- efutive committee of the West Berkeley epublican Club has called a meeting for morrow evening at the clubrooms, on Jiversity avenue, for the purpose of ar- rahging for a grand rally, to be held dur- m% the last week of the campaign. _ The principal speaker to-morrow even- ing will be Colonel H. J. Roberts. It is expected that other prominent Republi- cans will be present, among whom are Congressman Hilborn; Messrs. Greene sud Hall, candidates for the Superior | line. bench; Messrs. Breiling and Mitchell, for the anrnervlscrship, and Messrs. Lord and Penwell, for Justices of the Peace. National Christian Alliance. BERKELEY, CarL, Oct. 16.—Field Su- perintendent T. J. Arnold, Rev.J. Overton, Rev. John Fraser and Rev. Mrs. Jones of the National Caristian Alliance arrived in Berkeley jast evening and | pitched their tent on Shattuck avenue, | near Ashby, where they witl hold service=, The tent will accommodate 350 and the exercises will be formally opened next Sunday morning. Met After Many Years. BERKELEY, CAL., Oct. 16.—Frank and William Cooper, two brothers who had not seen each other for seventeen years, met in Berkeley yesterday. They lost track of each other in Montana in the lat- ter seventies and have been estranged ever since. William had been livingin Sonoma for some time, and hearing, by mere accident, of his brother’s where- abouts came to the university town yes- terday to greet him. News Items in Brief. BERKELEY, CAL, Oct. 16. — The Presentation Sisters of St. Joseph's Con- vent have purchased a_plat in 8t. Mary’s Cemecery, Oakiand, for the interment of ased members.

SOCIETY SENSATION. Three Members of the * Skull Keys' Society Offer Their Resignations. BERKELEY, CaL., Oct. 16.—The society sensation of the season at the State Univer- sity took place to-nieht, when Fletcher Mc- Nutt, Lawrence Havens and Duadley Dean, all of the class of '96, offered their resigna- tions to the “Skull and Keys” {raternity. Trouble in the brotherhood has been brewing for some time over the way its business affairs should be conducted, especially with reference to the acquisition of new members, and the culmination of the difficulty resulted in a split. The society numbers about twenty-five and is made up wholly of the members of the several Greek-letter traternities at the university, They have long been looked upon as the swell set of Berkeley, and their annual dramatic functions are largely attendea by members of the elite from and | both sides of the bay. The organizaiion is a Jocal society and was formed about five years ago. It is to Berkeley what the *‘Skull and Bones” is to Yale and the “Hasty Puading’’ to Harvard. Only juniors and seniors are eligible to membership in the exclusive order, and consequently only two or three members, ; at most, are taken from the various Greek- letter orders. The resignation of the three mentioned members is saia to be only a beginning of the trouble and that the end to thedifficulty in the'brotherhood is afar off, —_————— CROSS TOWN SYSTEM. M. Smith Makes a Deal to Secure the Highlana Park Electric Road. OAKLAND, Car.,, Oct. 16.—The fore- F. | closure suit of the California Safe De- | posit and Trust Company on a $200,000 mortgage against the Highland Park and Fruaityale Railway Company was up be- fore Judge Ogden to-day and continued until the 23d inst. on motion of the trust company’s attorney, who stated thav it | was expected F. M. Smith would acquire the road before that date. Mr. Smith is the heaviest stockholder mn the Oakland Consolidated or Grove- street line to Berkeley and the lines to West Oakland on Sixteenth and Eighth | streets, and it is believed he also controls the Twelfth-street line to the west end. | At present the system has no feeder to East Oakland, butif he secures the High- | land Park road it wonld give him an out- | let to East Oakiand over the Eleventh- street bridge with the Alameda electric The Eighth-street or Vandercook line is in the hands of a receiver, and it is said he has been negotiating for it also. This would give him command of Eighth and Twelfth streets to Broadway. ———— Swallowed Liniment. OAKLAND, CaL, Oct. 16.—Victor W. Ferguson died this evening from the ef- fects of poison that he drank last night. Ferguson lived at Golden (ate with his mother and brother, and has been a harm- | less lunatic for twenty-one years. Last nighthe went to bed as usuai and this morning he was very sick. He would not say wha: was the matter with him, but a doctor was satistied he had been poisoned and ‘reated him accordingly, but with no good result, and this evening he died. A bottle of laudanum liniment that his mother had been using for rheumatism was found in his room and one-half of it had peen taken.- There is no doubt that he insane man had swallowed it. Silver vs. Gold. LIVERMORE, CaL., Oct. 16.—The de- bate between E. M. Gibson of Oakland and Judge Swinnerton of Stockton, to take lace next Saturday evening at Farmers’ Inion Hall, Livermore, is looked forward to with much interest.

A Miraculous Escape. ALAMEDA, Cav., Oct. 16.—The break- ing of a bit this afternoon caused a run- away on Santa Clara avenue, near Mc- Pherson street, that might have resulted fataily. As it was, the three small chil- dren of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Van Sicken and their puree were thrown out of the carriage upon the streetand badly hurt. The driver was dragged a block or more, but held on to his team manfully and saved anything more serious from hap pening. - He May Die, HAYWARDS, Can, Oct. 16.—M. A. Jacobsen, a former deckhand on the Oak- land ferry, is lying unconscious aad the vhysicians give littie hope of his recovery. He was driving in from Castro Valley in' a cart whea in some manner he collided with a milk wagon and was thrown out. He hit on his head and has been uncon- scious ever since. Encinal City Notes. ALAMEDA, CaL, Oct. 16.—Judge James A Maguire spoke in Linderman’s Opera-hous. to-uight upon the silver question, lon, M, Fe Tarpey presided at the meeting. A street parade preceded the speaking. C.M. Grimm is the Iatest-victim of family feuds, and to-dey a complaint wassworn to be- fore Justice Swasey, charging him with as- ssulting his wife With & kaife, He was ar- Tested to-night. The Presbyterian church contained a good- audience to-night, who listened to a well-gen- dered programme’ for the benefit of Company A of the Boys’ Brigade. The programme coun- sisted of musical and vocal solos, recitations, tableaux and & shadow pantomime entitle “The Hungry C an,” which ecaused con. siderable merriment. Mrs. Cory, who came to this city a month 8go to sue her husband for a divorce, found that it would require several months’ resi- dence nere 1n order to accomplish her designs. She consulted Cll‘i Attorney Taylor, who in-, formed her that she must réside in the county ninety days before che could file her suit, so ::le quietly took quarters and is abiding her ime. ————— It is said that chrysanthemums live longer than any other fiower after being cute WROTE HIS WILL ON A BILLHEAD Casslear Hartnett Held Off for Eighty-Two Years. Purposely Avoided Making Any Reference to His Only Son and Heir. MAY BE TWO. DCCUMENTS. The Widow Expected to Find Some Clauses That Were Not in the Filed Will. OARLAND OFrFIcE SAN FRANCISCO Cu.x.,i 908 Broadway, Oct. 16. The will of the oldest member of the New York Fire Department, Casslear Hart{- nett, who died in this city a week ago, has been filed for probate. For a man of wealth it is the most unpretentious document that has been filed with the County Clerk for a long time. The document is written on one sheet of paper, which bears Dr. Curtis’ letter-head, and was only made in June of last year, although Mr. Hartnett was then 82 years of age. The deceased was opposed to mak- ing his will, and could not be prevailed upon to make it at an earlier date. He deeded all his property, real and personal, to his wife, Mrs. Henrietta Hartnett, and says that he purposely makes no mention of his only son, who is with the Contra Costa Water Company of this city. There is a possibility that the old fire- man may have made a later will, as his widow referred yesterday to a will that contained many references to details that are not mentioned in the document filed for provate. The witnesses to the filed will are Alexander Hoenisch, F. O. Stokes and David Newberry. Casslear Hartnett's property is all lo- cated in New York State and provides a [comfonnb,e income. He was oune of the members of the old Engine Company 15 of New York and made a record for bravery half a century ago. Mr. Hartnett came to California about eight years ago in search of health. He benefited by the chanyg, but his extreme age and his active life were against re- | covery, and he never feit able to make a trip back to New York. His remains will soon be sent Eist for interment. SELLING A ROAD. Huntington Finds No Profit in Running | the Guatemala Central. OAKLAND, CarL., Oct. 16.—There has recently returned from Central America A. W. Burrell, president of the Califoraia Bridge Company, where he has been exe- cuting a number of contracts for his com- pany. He was in Salvador, Guatemala, | and other States, in all of which he saw many evidences of substantial progress. There was a ‘‘revolution” in Nicaragua while he was in Salvador, and rumorso! disturbances in other countries, but these | things are highly exaggerated. “The | word revolution,”” he says, ‘‘conveys a | much different idea to our minds from what it gives a native ofjCentral America, | and it is mml{ proper to apply it to the | disturbances they have down there. ‘*A revolution is usualiy only an upris- ing by which unpopular administrations | are expelled from power, and it differs | from an election here principally by being | more summary in its methods, "It is not | much more forcible, and commonly there | is no more powder burned or blood shed. | These so-called revolutions are sometimes precipitated by a fear that some person or family intends to perpetuate himself or itself in power in violation of law. “It may be news that C. P. Huntington | is in process of selling out his railroad down there—the Guaterala Central. It is a short line of seventy-five miles, but built over hesvy grades and lesding from the Pacific Ocean to the city of Guatemala. Up to this ume the road has paid very well, but the Government is now finishing | a railroad of about 225 miles from the city of Guatemsla to the eastern or gulf coast. But the two railroads together—the Guate- mala Central and the Guatemals North- ern—will constitute an important trans- continental line, one that will have a greater influence, 1 believe, on the course of business than the new Tehnantepec route in Mexico.” Held in High ¥Fsteem. OAKLAND, CaL, Oct, 16.—The funeral of the late Archibald C. Marr was held from his late resicence this atterncou na- der the auspices of Alcatraz Lodge No. 244, F. and A. M., of which he was 3 mem- ber. Rev. Father Ackerly of StJJohn's Episcopal Church conducted the religious service, while the Masonic quartet sang a rumber of beautiful selections. There was a large attendance of old friends to testify to the high esteem in which they held the deceased. The pallbearers were A. W. Baker, Donald McKechnie, J. Bishop, A. A. McKeen, David Bo: Henry Hartman. The Duleichs’ Ca OAKLAND, Can., Oct. 16.—Mrs. Kate Grogan Dulcich is believed to have com- promised her case, as she has abandoned the efforts to secure a new trial in the case in which she sued Luigi Dulcich to estab- lish her right as his wife. The couple have lived together for years, reared a iarge family and accumulated much prop- erty, but Dulcich recently declared the marriage void, as her husband was alive at the time, although she supposed he was dead. The courts upheld his contention and much litigation followed regarding property interests in East Oakland, where he tried to evict the mother of his chiidren, Pays His Fine. OAKLAND, CaL., Oct. 16.—William O©. Olift, the capitalist who was convicted b: a jury for assaulting Attorney C. K. Johns, a cripple, was fined $30 to-day by Judge Wood in the Police Court, which he aid. The trouble arose over statements Ey Johns reflecting on Justice Frederick C. Clift's manner of conducting business, which bis father took up and resented by striking Johas in the face when he refused to discuss the matter. Angry Contractor. OAKLAND, Cav., Oct. 16.—John Cava- naugh, a sewer contractor, wanted to whip City Auditor R. W. Snow this morning, but Chief Lloyd advised him not toand he desisted, The trouble was over work done at the First Congregational Church, for which the contractor was paid in stock bearing 8 per cent interest, issued by the company, but which will not be taken up for three years. He attempted to dispose of it at the banks and they would not take it unless he indorsed it; hence his anger. Investigating Candidates.

Runs Away From Home With a Man, ‘Who Deserts Her. QAKLAND, CAL., Oct. 16.—Mr. aad Mrs. T. Gibbons and C. M. Butts of Healdsburg are in the city endeavoring to secure the return of Miss May Finney to her home and parents in Healdsburg. May is only 17 yehrs of age, and up to four weeks ago | was considered an innocent, rosy-cheeked country lass, who was a great favorite among a host of friends. Then she took it into her head to run away from home and be married. It is said that she left home with Charlie Gibbons and came to San Francisco, where she says they were married, but she has no certificate of the event. The following day_the groom disap- peered, and is now said to be in 8t. Louis. She was found two weeks later, hungry and penniless, but refused to go home. She knew *‘Charlie”’ would return for her. Mrs. Gibbons was seen to-day, and said in regard to her half-sister: “I am nearly worried to death by the girl's actions. I bave fed, clothed and housed ber, but she does not show the least gratitude. She accompanied two other girls to a notorious resort on Sixth street. She says she went innocently, but her actions have been very indiscreet since. We are willing to help the girl get a position or take her back to Healdsburg, or do anything else that would save her from ruin.” FOUND A QUEUE. It Had Been Cut From Its Owner's Head by a Thoughtiess Hunter. ALAMEDA, CaL, Oct. 16.—A long, black object, curled up with every appear- ance of a snake, frightened Manuel, the carcleaner at the narrow-gauge mole, nearly out of bis witsthis morning. While sweeping out a car attached to last night’s Santa Cruz train he suddenly ran upon the thing under a car seat. After he re- covered from his first surprise he cau- tiously approached the supposed snake and dealt it a stinging blow with his broomhandle on the part he supposed to be the head. As it did not move he rolled it over and was surprised to find a China- man’s quene, " The gueue had the appearance of having been cat off close to the owner’s head. It is thought to bave been the work of some hunters who came in on that train. MLNIST A PRRICIE Thomas Connelly Fires Three Shots at His Father in the Mission. Upon Interfering, Officer M. J Heeph- ley Set Upon by Father, Mother and Son. Young Thomas Connelly, aged 19, nar- rowly escaped being a parricide when he tired three shots at his father, Thomas Connelly Sr., at their home on the corner of Twenty-fourth and Sanchez streets yesterday about 1:30 . M. Officer M. J. Heaphley ran up the steps to the house. 5 As be was climbing the stairway he heard two shots and accelerated his speed. Once in the house he perceived young Connelly standing witn a smoking revol- ver in his hand. His father was huddled up in bed, holding the blanket between himself and son. Just as Heaphley entered the room the old man exciaimed: “Tom, don’t shoot again!”’ Ripping out a vile epithet the boy ex- claimed: “Didn’t you feel that last bul- let? I’ll give you one that you will feel.” At this juncture the officer grabbed the revolver and the boy at the same time and a herce struggle began, when Connelly’s to one side sob- the exclamation, *‘You shan’t take a boy of mine out of here,” Then Connelly himself jumped out of bed to help in overcoming the officer. During the melee young Connelly’s shirt was torn off and he at once ran into a side room and cut by a window onto a small porch, whence he jumped to the ground and ran up Twenty-fourth street. After Heaphley had released himself from the grip of the parents he went home and cnangea his uniform for civizen's clothes, and then returned in search of the would-be murderer. He finally cap- tured the boy, who said he had been “try- ing his pistol.” WENT T0 THE COUNCIL, The Labor Unions Sympathize Wit1 the News- boys. The Strike Still Being Prosecuted With Unabated Vigor. The City evening papers came out yesterday afternoon as usual and their wagons went up and down the streets but not a newsboy took a copy. The smali curbstone dealers collected aroupa and good-naturedly guyed the drivers but did not buy. Occasionally & customer would brave the wrath of the strikers and pay his nickel fora copy, but the cry of “Scab, scab,” would drive the reckless purchaser around the corner. Two delivery wagons, one driven by News- boy E. Dougherty and the other by Newsboy Tap Williams, went around town with loads of Oakland papers with which they supplied the‘ youngsters, checking back the IlI‘lll)lold copiés, ""Ii the evening papers came out like the morning f‘span. we would take our copies say about half-past 3 or 4 o’clock, and take our chances in selling them, because then we would have several hours to get them off.”” said one of the boys. ‘But our customers always want the last edition and we have to get itas it comes out, so there you are.” Tap Williams stated last night that a com- mittee of boys had visited the large clothing- houses, requesting themg to withdraw their advertisements from the Post, Bulletin and Report, and they had received much encour- agement from the merchants. The Hub and Raphaels readily promised to do so, and the latter firm would do as they.did during the newsboys’ strike of 1892—hire 8 band for the boys’ parade and provide them with torches, banners and transparencies. A committee of newsboys presented them- selves before the Labor Council last evening and stated their grievances. They denied that the newsboys were in the habit of pic| abandoned glpen in_restaurants and of s late at nlg‘ t and checking them in next morning, They said that an offer had been made to let the newsboys have four "K“' for ecking & nickel without the privilege of cl back. This, they said, would be satisfactory. The answer of the Labor Council was given in the following resolution: Resolved, That the newsboys have of the San Francisco Labor Cou: struggle to better thelr condition. e A Testimonial Benefit.

They Will Shoot Down the Man Who Attempts to De- stroy It. FUNERAL OF GIN LUM CHEE. Private Detective Cullundan Arrested and Charged With Malicious Mischief. A hundred rifles in the hands of grim- visaged highbinders, men who will com- mit 1aurder and gloat over the deed, guard the Chinese flag which floats over the See Yup headquarters on Clay street and Waverly place. The fignting men who guard the sacred bit of bunting are hidden away on the roofs of acjoining buildings, behind chimneys and firewalls. They seldom show themselves, but watch the actions of an expected intruder with jealous eyes. Every wave of the flagis a slap of de- fiance at tbe Chinese Consul, and every eye that watches it his secret enemy. Not- withstanding the fact that imperial de- cree has ordered tie Seze Yup Company to lay down the hatchet, the man who would attempt to lower that flag would be riddled with flying buliets. Sergeants Price and Henderson, having charge of the Chinatown squad, were in- formed yesterday afternoon that the rifle- men hax taken their position to defend the flag and to defy the officers. The ser- geants immediately sought the roofs of buildings adjoining the Lee Yup head- quarters in search of the would-be mur- derers. As they hurried over the roofs a Chinese head would bob up occasionally through a skylight or air well ard then disappear. BSearch for the pagan zuards was useless and the chase was abandoned. Gin Lum Chee, who was shot in China- town by Ah Wah on the evening of the 4th inst, and died a few days later, was buried in the Chinese cemetery yesterday morning. His funeral was a large one, and was attended by most elaborate cere- monies. Private Detective F. H. Callundan was arrested yesterday and charged with ma- licious mischief at the instance of Lee Hem, a member of the See Yups. It was he and his assistants who, at the instiga- tion of the Chinese Consul, did the smash- ing of bric-a-brac in the apartments of the See Yups at 820 Clay street. LOUIE QUONG DISMISSED Dick Williams’ Side Partner No Longer in the Service. Secretary Curtis Tells How the Mongol Lost His Official Head Three Months Ago. Louie Quong, for many months Chinese interpreter under Collector Wise, and who first came into prominence through his close relationship with ex-Customs In- spector Dick Williams, has been dis- missed from the service. Collector Wise said on Tuesday last: “Louie Quong has not been dismissed from the service, though, of course, his appointment, like that of any other inter- preter, is only by the day.” “In the event he is acquitted of the pcharge now resting against him, will he be given his old position?” asked the re- porter. “That is a matter I cannot answer,” said thelCollector. “If he 1s acquitted I will submit the matter to the department and be guided largely by any suggestion it might make. At the presenttime, how- ever, 1 can see no reason why Quong should not again act as interpreter, pre- suming, of course, that he comes out of the present trouble all right.”” On the heels of this very positive state- ment from Collector Wise comes the fol- lowing from THE Carr’s Washington cor- respondent: WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 16.—THE CALL correspondent to-day made ‘nq“hi at the Treasury Department concerning the report that Louie Quong, Chinese interpreter in the Immigration Bureau at San Francisco, had been aismissed from the service, Assistant Secretary Curtis, under whose supervision are conducted all matters of immigration, said: “Yes, it is true that Louie Quong, the inter- reter, was dismissed trom the service, and Col- Fecwr Wise was advised of the fact on July 15.” Another official was more communicative and said: “Quong’s dismissal was due to his com- plicity with Inspector R.'S. Williams in aa- mitting Chinese who had no right to enter United States ports. Inspector Williams was dismissed, ana has since been convicted and sentenced for taking bribes from Chinese immigrants and Chinese Immjgration com- i { p.‘l:l‘%sé secret service division of the Treasury Department suspected that the interpreter, Louie Quong, was an accomplice. He was suspended April 16 last by order of this de- artment, pending en inyestigation, and when Pz was ascertained to our satisfaction that he was a confederate tne Secretary, July 15, no- tified Collector Wise that he was dismissed, his dismissal to take effect on the date of his suspension., “I caunot understand why his dismissal has not already been made public in San Fran- cisco, but {t is known here that Collector Wise firmly believed in the innocence of Inspector Williams and premmnbl; be has been equally reluctant to believe in the guilt of the inter- preter.” Louie? Quong, it will be remembered was recently indicted by the Federal Grand Jury for perjury in a criminal case which came before Commissioner Heacock some months ago. The interpreter was suspended within a few days of the time Dick Williams was shelved, and he was indicted in August last. This phase of the case, however, did not come until some time after the dismissal of the Chi- nese from the Governmeént service. All these tacts taken collectively give a most peculiar complexion to the attitude as- sumed by Mr. Wise. . nong enjoys a unique position in cus- w&n cl’c!u.io He is regarded as a tricky, shifty sort of fellow, with the faculty of gaining complete mastery over those with whom he comes 1n close touch. It is said that some months ago he loaned a prominent Federal officer $2000, and that he still holds the gentleman’s “promise to pay.” There are some, there- fore, who admire Quong immensely and there are others who hold to the opinion that the Grand Jury dealt lightly with the Chinese when they returned only one per- jury charge against him. Quong’s trial has been set for October 26. Those who keep track of such things will watch the’case with interest, enhanced somewhat Dby the statement of Collector Auction Salcs BICYCLES ! BiCYCLES!

HE MADE A GUN PLAY, Dr. Campbell’'s Rash Act in a Court of Jus tice. The Plaintiff Took the Hint and Left the Courtroom Hur- riedly. J. H. Campbell, a physician, whose resi- dence is at Twenty-fourth and Valencia streets, created a sensation in Justice Groezinger’s court yesterday by & gun play in pantomime, and the excitement was further heightened by the sudden and precipitate exit of the defendant in the case at whom the play was directed. Dr. Campbell and his wife separated some time ago and Andrew Todd, who acted as a kind of mutual talebearer be- tween the two, was employed by the doctor to remove Mrs. Campbell’s goods and chattels to her new abode, his com- pensation being fixed at $1250. From the testimony it appeared that Todd collected from both ends and that Mrs. Campbell gave up $12 50 as well as the doctor. Somehow it pecame known to the doc- tor that his wife had aiso paid the mover’s fee, and he sued Todd for the return of the money. In his answer Todd averred that the physician was indebted to him to the ex- tent of several hundred dollars, but waived all except enough to offset the doctor’s claim and costs. While a witness for the being examined yesterday Dr. Campbell, who was sitting near Todd, suddenly dove his right hand into his hip pocket and shook the index finger of his disen- gaged hand first 1n Todd’s face and then toward the door. Todd evidenily took the hint, for be- fore any one else had comorelended the meaning of tue dumb show he bolted out of the door, and the doctor settled back in his chair with a satistied smile, As there was really no overt act com- miuted the Justice could take no official cognizance of the matter. Later Todd admitted his liability, and judgment was given for the plaintiff with costs. ————————— BLAINE REPUBLICANS. Nominees Address the Meeting In K. R. B. Hall and Are Applauded. The Blaine Republican Club met last night in K. R. B. Hall, Mason and O'Far- rell streets, aud heard addresses by some of the leading candidates on the Republi- can ticket. Ex-Sheriff Thomas Desmond presided, and with few exceptions all present were lrish-American citizens. John J. Sulitvan delivered a speech on the issues of the campaign, He told his audience that four years ago the Demo- cratic parly in its platform denounced pro- tection as a fraud, a snare and unconstitu- tional. The effect of these doctrines is that men have been waiking the streets and begging bread to sustain life. His- tory has proved that whenever the coun- try resorted to free trade stagnation in all branches of industry followed. He de- clared that protection is the best thing for the farmer, for it caused the products of the farm to be consumed at home, and the home market is the best for America. It is better for California that warships are made at the Unlon Iron Works,” said the speaker, presenting this decidedly ef- fective view of protection to home manu- factures. : “The ships are made here and the money for their construction goes to the grocer, the baker, the butcher and trades- men of all descriptions. If the.same mor.ey were spent eisewhere then Califor- nia would be so much the poorer and the tradesmen and workingmen so much worse off. It is exactly the same with pro- tection in its fullest sense.” The speaker was loudly applauded. After this there was some music, and the | naminees, 1including Colonel Taylor, Thomas B. O’Brien, William -Deane, George Elder, Dr. Williamt T. Kippler, Dr. Soper and Thomas Ward, addressed the meeting. i pe— UNIVERSITY SILVERITES. Students of Stanford and Berkeley to Rlaly To-Night.
