14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, ifMEN RAD A BUSY DAY OF IT Three Fashionable Mar- riage Ceremonies Yesterday. Homes Made Beautiful With a Profusion of Autumn Blossoms. & TRI0O OF LOVELY BRIDES. The Dohrmann-Siebe, Lawton-Night- ingale and Muller-Cross Nuptia's. Yesterday was a dusy day for Hywen. [he little god of marriage had to preside 1t three weddings—one ‘afternoon cere- nony and two evening ones. The nuptials of Dr. William F. Dohr- nann and Miss Chrissie Siebe was a most ilaborate affair. About 200 guests were wssembled to witness the marriage of this rows of inserted Valenciennes, and the cor- sage was cut low and finished off with a tiny flounce ot lace. A. H. Williams officiated as best man. After the ceremony the newly married couple led the way to the dining-hall, where an elaborate supper was served by Ludwig. : Toasts were in order, and A. H. Wil- liams proposed the health of the young couple in a song_espécially composed for the occasion by Charles Bundschu. Each guest carried away a handsome souvenir of the wedding in the shape of a white and zold leafl -t which contained sev- eral appropriate verses written in hono: of the young couvple. _There were verses of senfiment both in English and German and verses with a touch of comedy. Many of the verses were set to the melody of popular operatic selections and were sung by the assembled company Wwith right good cheer. 5 Dr. and Mrs. Dohrmann are going South for a bridal tour and on their return they will reside with John D. Siebe until January, when their new home will be completed. 3 Only relatives and a limited number of intimate friends were present at the nuptials of Miss Minnle Nighingale, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Nightin- gale and sister of Dr. Nightingale, and Dr. W. J. P. Lawton, a popular young dentist of this City. §1The ceremony was performed at 8:30 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Stebbins officiating. In the way of ideal simplicity there were no bridal attendants, no maid of honor, no bridesmaids and no best man. The briae wore an elegant gown of white brocaded satin. The skirt was made walk- g length and finished off with a full ruche of the satin. The corsage was veiled with chiffon and finished off with a bertha of point applique. Dr. and Mrs. Lawton have gone to re- side at their new home, 310 Haight street, and will receive the second and fourth Wednesdays. The wedding of Miss Hattie Maud Cross and Louis Muller was celebrated yester- DR. AND MRS. W. J. P. LAWTON (nee Nightingale), Who Last Evening. Were Married joung couple, whose wedding means the nion of the two most prominent German amilies in this City. Miss Siebe is the daughter of Assessor fohn D. Siebe. She is talented and beau- iful and a great social favorite. Dr. Dohrmann is the son of President Dohr- pann of the Merchants’ Association and s extremely popular among a host of pro- essional and fashionable friends. The Siebe residence on Sacramento treet, where the ceremony was per- ormed, is eminently adapted for enter- aining purposes. The rooms are ali arge and handsome and conveniently spen into one another. They lend them- elves readily to the decorator’s art, and resterday evening were more than usually ittractive with their wealth of autumn- rlossom decorations. In the main drawing-room, where the eremony was performed, white chrythan- hemums and great branches of stripped :amboo were used for adornment. At 9o'clock the young couple met at he improvised altar, where the Rev. Mr, Taendeling pronounced them man and vile. The bride lovked extremely lovely in ier gown of cream-white satin. The jupe vas made perfectly plain, with demi- day afternoon at half-past 3, at the resi- dence of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. Cross, 801 Haight street, Pastor Fuendeling officiating. The bride was attended by Miss Lillian | Hudson, who officiated as maid of honor, and Miss Rose Trainor, who acted as bridesmaid. R. W. Roberts was the best man. The bride wore a pretty gown of white mousseline duchesse over white silk. The veil was fastened to the coiffure by aspray of lilies of the valley and a diamond star, the gift of the groom.

The Civic Federation Will Test the County Government Law. The Civic Federation has been busy of late between preparing for the campaign and the protection of the nominees of the Non-Partisan party at the pollsand during the count. In addition to this an injunction will be asked for to prevent Auditor Broderick from aunditing the demands of the deputies of the County Clerk, Sheriff and the other county officers embodied in the recent de- cision of the Supreme Court. - This conclusion was reached at a meet- ins of the federation last night, at which injunction proceedings will be com- menced during the present week, with either Joseph Britton or Stewart Menzies as the plaintiff and William Broderick as t the party to be enjoined. This action the federation claims must be sustained in view of the recent de- cision rendered by which a portion of the City and County officers are municipal and others county. The county officers under this decision, the federation claims, must pay their deputies out of their own pockets. e e The clay pipes of England, France and Holland are mostly made by the labor of children. 2 LT e e R R T S R b e S A S L R SRR ot P R SRR S e S B SAR h FRA RSA anii Sh hiaf el e c omn INRA BSSS LN I S T A in 0 eaie OCUMSE b A essc i o M RN ieSeniRinatlootie sl idcndie St B D e S B B BRI R st 2 i REALTY PROBES INTO POLITICS City Real Estate Agents Organize to Formulate a Ticket. To Support Candidates Who They Think Are Public- Spirited. FOR NO PARTICULAR PARTY. Objscts of the New Association as Embodiedin an Opsn State. ment. The following statement, issued yester- day, is self-explanatory: We, the real estate firms of the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, representing more than two-thirds of -the Eropertywwners of the City and County of San Francisco, State of California, have this day resolved to associate ourselves to see tothe welfare and best interests of the owners of Eroper!y, to encourage needed enterprise and ome industries, to promote such needed pub- lic improvements that will enhance values and eacourage immigration to our City. First—For the mutual protection of tae vari- ous resl estate firms, Second—To have such laws and regulations passed at the coming term of the State Legis- Iature, whereby the owners of gropfirly and tenants may be better protected with refer- ence to_the unlawful vogue in this State anG for such other and wholesome laws as may be necessary and proper w0 advance the municipal govern- ment of this City and County. Third—The association is non-partisan end will select the more capable candidates aspir- ing for office at the coming election, who will piedge themseives to subserve the interests of the taxpayers and the property-owners by fair and just regulations in the various offices they may be elected to to 1nsure an economical gov- ernment to this City. The real estate firms of this City, realizing that the majority of the citizens of this Cit; are unable to judge of the qualifications an merits of the various candidates for office who are now seexing our suffrages, have deemed it for the benefit of the public at large and tax- payers in general that they should use every available means in their power to investigate the various aspirants for office and report their quaiifications to the pubtic in generai and the taxpavers, and to thatend an organization has been formed of all the prominent real estate firms of this City. 1t is the intention of the association to can- vass the municipal and legislative tickets, for the enactment of wholesome laws, which will benefit the people of the City and County ot £an Francisco. The yarious real estate firms met and have organized a powerful combination. This ticket will be published in the press of this City of the various indorses, and will be mailed to every client, landowner and tensant in this municipality. It is undoubtedly a fact thatthe indorsement | of such & powerful body of gentlemen will insure the election of most any canaidate re- ceiving its indorsement, as they are in touch and sympathy wita most all the real estate owners and people rentiug property in the City and County of San Franeisco. The ultimate object of this association will be to discourage political parasites. The following officers have been elected: Presiden:, A. M. Speck of A. M. Speck & Co., 602 Market street: first vice-president. J, T. Harmes of Madison & Burke, 628 Market street; second viCe-president, Umbsen & Co., 14 Montgomery street; secre- tary, Charles G. Nagle, 632 Market street; assistant secretary, Willlam M. Abbott, over First National Bank: treasurer and deposi- tory, Crocker-Woolworth Bank. Mr. Speck stated last night that all the leading real estate men were interested in the project. N THE GRAAD CHPTER Second Day of the State Eastern Star Convention in This City. \ Most Worthy Grand Matron Mary E. Partridge in Attendance—The Banquet. The Grand Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star held its second day’s session at Golden Gate Hall on Sutter street yes- terday. There was little business of im- portance transacted, and the time was passed in hearing the reports of the com- mittees and grand officers. Mrs. Mary E. Partridge, most worthy grand matron of the General Grand Chap- ter, elected last vear at Boston, attended the session yesterday, and was received with the honors befitting her high official station. The sympathy of the Grand Chapter was extended to Past Grand Patron Ianthus Rolfe, Past Grand Matron Mrs. Emmeline Rolie and Past Grand Matron Georgie Anna Matfield in their affliction, which has caused their absence from the conven- tion. 3 Last evening the local chapters gave a very pleasing entertainment in Golden Gate Hall for the benefit of the Masonic ‘Widows’ and Orphans’ Home in Decoto. At the close of the literary and musical exercises the chlgters and their guests partook of a splendidly arranged banquet in the assembiy-room of the hall. In the session this afternoon the elec- tion of the Grand Chapter officers for the ensuing year will take place. The conven- tion will close Saturday, when the dele- .}nas will visitv Stanford University, San Jose and Monterey, returning Monday evening. e ARMY AND NAVY LEAGUE.

Leland Stanford Camp No. 2, Army and Navy Republican League of California, held a most enthusiastic meeting at its headquarters, 26 O'Farrell street, last night, with Colonel Mason 8.

The following Republicans made short addresses: Ben McKinley, Colonel C. L. Taylor, Cord H. Wetjen, Charles Depew, Coionel J. M. Litchfield, Andy Branch, Dr. H. E. Smith and Judge Groezinger.

Several songs were rendered by the Campaign Glee Club. The following resolution was adopted unanimously: Resolved, That in George W. Elder we recog- nize a true friend of the peopie for the efforts he has made in iheir behalf during his terén as the City’s expert, and we therefore uvite in indorsing his nomination and urge all true and lnylfmen to cast their ballots for him. DARE WASINDIGNANT Republican Candidate for Senator De- nounces the Chroaicle In Open Court. John T. Dare scorched the Chronicle yesterday morning in open court. Mr. Dare is the regular Republican candidate for State Senatoy from the Mission, He is also a lawyer and is Proseculing Attor- ney in Police Court 3. The courtroom was filled when he arose and requested of Judge Joachimsen a per- sonal privilege. He then read this short article from the morning’s Chronicle: Thomas Connelly, the boy who fired three shots from a pistol at his fatner at Twenty- fourth and Sanchez streets last Thursday afternoon, was heid to answer yesterday by Police Judge Joachimsen upon a charge of as- sault with a deadly weapon. Prosecuting Atiorney John T. Dare con- ducted the case for the people in a half-hearted manner. It was apparent that he did not ardently desire a conviction in the case. When the judgment of the -court was pronounced Dare remarked that it was outrageous. Dare is a candidate for State Senator,and Con- nelly’s father lives in his district. Remarking that the aerogatory para- graph was ‘‘a lie from start to finish,” and ‘‘unfair, malicious and dishonest,” Mr. Dare declared that the report had been deliberately falsified for political purposes. He then called upon the sev- eral officers of the court to corroborate his declarations regarding his prosecution of the case. Thereupon Judge Joachimsen, Clerk Jacob Bhane, Court Reporter Gaw- thorne, Officer McMurry and several others who had been present on the day previous intimated that thev sbared Mr. Dare’s indignation and openly denounced the paragraph as cowardly and untrue. —————————— At the Fremont Club. Fremont Club Hall was comfortably filled last night by voters of the Seven- teenth Sanatorinl\ District, who flocked there to hear the gifted orator, Colonel T. V. Eady. The meeting was under the auspices of the campaign ccmmittee of the Republican League. Hon. Z. U. Dodge introduced Von Morgan as chairman of the meeting. *Colonel Eddy reviewed the histories of both the Republican and Democratic par- ties for the last hundred years, showing conclusively that the former is the party of progress and patriotism. The Nebraska-Pullman orator Bryan was shown up by his record in Congress as being the advocate of free trade and now the advocate of free siiver. Should he be elected, Colonel Eddy said, he would be the friend and advocate of free soup for the masses. The anarchistic tendencies of the Chi- cago convention to wipe out of existence the Supreme Court of the United States and substitute in its stead t‘i‘“ red Hlag of State rights were fully and forcibly pic- tured. The demoralized condition of the woolen industry was referred to. Miss Ella Ellis, a pretty brunette, sang A campagn song, whicl elicitea an en- core a round of applanse. J. B. Banford followed with a short ad- dress on the necessity of voting for Mc- Kinley and American protection. ———————— 'VorE for Charles A. Low for Police Judge. * = A MY AR CFFER UADERSUSPIO Quartermaster’s Engineer Humphreys Is Charged With Dishonesty. An Inquiry Now Being Con- ducted at the Post Head- quarters. HAS MADE SOME ENEMIES, And His Friends Say That That Is All There Is to the Charges. 2 For the past several days, in the quiet of a shady room at military headquarters, in the Phelan building, there has been an inquiry going on—not a court-martial, but an inquiry—as to the competency of Lieutenant Humphreys, engineer in the chief quartermaster’s office. That is the way it is given out, but it is well under- stood that the inquiry is directed at a more serious matter—a charge of dis- honesty. Colonel Kimball is the chief quarter- master of the department.. As his en- gineer Lieutenant Humphreys bhas had active charge of a great deal of work that has been carried on lately in the depart- ment, muach of it at the Presidio. While he does not have the actual making of contracts he has much to say in the mat- ter. For a long time past there have been rumors that all was not as it should be in his relationship with contractors. The contracters themselves have been chiefly responsible for the rumors. Some months ago open charges were made by some of the contractors against him and at that time some inquiry was made. Since chen these have been re- peated, this time by W. J. Hoimes, a con- | tractor, and the matter brought formally before Colonel Burton inspector-general for .this coast. That officer is now con- ducting a thorougn inquiry into the mat- ter at headquarters. Yesterday Lieutenants Hoan and Gnl?g, quartermasters at different posts with whom Lieutenant Humnphreys comes much in contact, were to tell what they knew in the matter. It is said in defense of Lieutenant Humphreys that his position is one in which it is very easy to make enemies; that he has made them—quitea numberof them—and that they in their turn have constant opportunity to do him harm. His friends say that this is all there is to the charge of dishonesty and that Hum- phreys will have little difficulty in making this clear. West End Republicans. The West End Republican Club will meet at Terminal Hall, Haight street, near Stanyan, to-night at 8 o’clock. Ar- rangements for a grand Republican 1aily to take place next Thursday, will be com- pleted. s ookl e Lzbor and Sliver. This evening there will be a big labor silyer mass-meeting at Union Hall, under | the auspices of the silver campaign com- mittee. George Lafayette, past president of the International Bricklayers' Union, will preside. The speaker of the evening will be M. F. Taylor, the gifted orator irom Colorado, who will discuss the labor question and reply 1o the arguments made by Boutelle 1ast Tuesday night. Music and campaign songs will complete the programme. B INDEPENDENT DIMONDS. A New Club Formed for the Anti- Buckley Candidate for Mayor. The Independent Dimond Club met last night at. Crystal Hall, Pythian Castle. Five hundred members were present. The following officers were elected: President, Thomas R. Bannerman; vice- president, Frank T. Shea; recording secre- tary, George E. Gallagher; corresponding secretary, Carl Eisenschimel; financial secretary, David M. Stanley; treasurer, A. C. Bauer; sergeant-at-arms, John Perry. A motion was carried that the president select within the next two days an execu- tive committee of eighteen, one from each Assembly District, to manage the cam- paign in the interest of Mr. Dimond. Each member of the executive committee will select from each vrecinet of the district rhe represents, a captain, who will take charge of Mr. Dimond’s battle in the pre- cinct. Theclub, as its name indicates, is in- dependent’in politics. Mr. Bannerman, the president, is a Republican. The oflices are evenly distributed among Democrats and Republicans. Judge Sullivan made a stirring speech in favor of Mr. Dimond, whom he de- geribed as an anomaly in San Krancisco politics, an honest Supervisor, a man who entered the Board of Supervisors poor and leaves it poor. Upon the conclusion of the Judge's speech three cheers were given for Mr. Dimond and the Juage. ¥rank T, Shea, architect of the City Hall, the vice-president of the club, also made a speech complimentary to Mr. Dimond. As Mr. Shea concluded his speech Mr. Dimond entered the hall and received an ovation. . Mr. Eisenschimel, Mr. Bannerman George E. Gallagher, Judge Ferral, Coionel O'Byrne and Charles McGlynn of the Hibernia Bank made’ speeches that called forth merited applause. George Gallagher introduced a resolution in which was set forth that the Independent Dimond Club is composed of citizens irrespective of party, whose aim is to secure honest men for public offices; that Joseph I Dimond is such a man, as he has already proved himself to be above corrupting influences while filling the office of Supervicor; that he thas proved himself a fearless pro- tector of the rights of the peoble is demonstrated by the stand he took to prevent the unwarranted appropriaton of public streets by the street railroad com- panies and the abolishment of the odious transfer check system, etc. The resolu- tion was adopted. The meeting adjourned to meet in a larger hall at a time to be fixed by the president. At the next meeting Hon. Patrick Reddy will be the principal speaker. An interesting feature of the meeting was the distribution to the mem- bers of 500 Dimond buttons, diamond shaped and bearing the National colors. ————— McKinley Veterans’ League. An enthusiastic meeting of the McKinley Veterans’ League of the Fifth Congressional District was held last evening in Swiss Hall, Mission and Fourteenth streets, Colonel E. McCormick presiding. Captain W. H. Barry Teported that the canvassing committee had decided to nold & grand mass-meeting on_the evening preceding tue election. Captain Wil- liam Bolson, Captain F. H. Blanchard, Captain Johu Ryan, Quartermaster I A. Beesey and Major Frank Ciark were appointed a commit. lee to select speakers for the occasion. Reso- lutions indorsing the Republican l?lntlorm, McKinley and Hobart, Eugene F. Loud, Colonel C. L. Tayior &%, W. Eider and C. Wet- kn were adopted.
