THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1896. BIG DINNERS FOR BLINKER MURPHY| - Stephen Sanguinetti's 0dd Bill for Election Ex- penses. Swears That He Paid for Articles to Be Published in the “Examiner.” GOOD APPETITE OF A WRITER, : Various Amounts Which Candidates . Were Willing to Risk on the Election. - Stephen Sanguinetti, who was an un- sudcessful candidate for Supervisor at the recent election, has filed with the County Clerk a sworn statement of his campaign expenses. Mr. Sanguinetti in his affidavit aetail- - ing his election expenses inserts the fol- lowing item of cash paid out: Person to whom money was paid, Columbus * Farket Restaurant Company; nature of item, Italian dinners to “Blinker” Murp! performed, writing articles in Ex iner; by whom performed, ‘“Blinker” Murphy; purpose rites up” in the Monarch of . Politicians about town were yesterday lsughing over the predicament in which Mr. Sanguinetti’s disclosure places the Exeminer. They recalled the fact that during the campaign several srticles ap- peared on the Examiner’s editorial page in which Mr. SBanguineiti’s name figured prominently, but at the time very few - supposed that there was any cost attached to the same so far as the principal char- acter in the articles was concerned. The other items of Mr. Sanguinetti’s outlay are as follows: Anti-Churter Dem- ocratic party $60, Union Labor party $20, People’s party $5, Mrs. Knarston $8 50, * various persons, names unknown, for re- freshments $5, making a total of $120. The vouchers for the above-mentioned expenditures are said to have been lost. James D. Phelan, the. successful candi- _daig for Mayor, confesses to paying out $250, of which he says that $180 went to the Democratic purity of election com- mittee and $70 to the Non-Partisan cam- paign committee. Mr. Phelan modestly adds that all of this money came from his wn pocket, no part of it being contributed 's statement shows that he “expended $385 05 in the campaign which resulted in his return to the Superior Court bench, of which amount $250 was paid to*James Alva Watt, who receipted for the same as “chairman county com- mittee purity of election.” C. K. Bonestell, also candidate for Judge of the Superior Court, was ‘‘touched” for more than Judge Hunt by the campaign committee, his receipt disclosing the fact that be contr buted $375. His total ex- penses were $400 75. Frank P. Dunne, who was elected a Su- verior Court Judge, expended $390 50, of whici $240 was given to the Democratic . committee for campaign purposes. The expenditures of candidates for the Board vl Supervisors varied, as will be seen by this hst: L J. Troman $117, B Hoffman $3 75, Thomas W. Rivers $110 50, John Lichmann $114 50, Washington Dodge $119 50, S. 8. Morton $120, R. A. Copeland 85 cents, Frank Conklin $112 50, . 8. Conwell $106 60, H. T. Sahlender $2 50, Thomas Morton $118 50, H. Hup- pert $100 50, T. A. Rotianzi $116 35, Ed- ward J. smith $118. . Other candidates invested funds as fol- lows: Lot D.

Coroner Hawkins Has a Buiy Day Re- cording Verdicts of Fatal Acci- dents, Suicides and Murders. "Coroner Hawkins had a busy day yesterday, when ingnests were held in ninc cases which bad occurred within a period of one week—from November 5 to 11 inclusive. In the case of William Gade, who died from the effects of an overdose of morphine on the 1lith, a verdict of acci- dental death was returned. R. Lewellyn, who fell downstairs at his viace of business at 810 Potrero avenue on November 9 and died from his injuries, was pronounced to have met death acci- dentaily, and a recommendation was made by the jury that the stairs be fixed. Alonzo L. de Clairmont, who cut his throat on the 9th, was declared to be a suicide. A verdict of accidental death was re- turned in the case of Eleo Bricca, who was ruon over and Kkilled on the 10th by some unknown person. Michael Seeligsohn, whose body was re- covered from the bey on the 7th, was de- clared to be a suicide. Marie Zwaal, who took carbolic acid on November 7, was found to be a suicide. Mrs. Ely Manly, according to the jury’s verdict, was acc.dentally burned to death on November 7. Margaret West was found to have taken arsenic on November 5 with suicidalintent and with success. In the case of Michael Lynch, who died November 7 from the results of kicks and other injuries inflicted by Martin Boyle, the latter was char.ed with murder. ——————— The Wilmerding School. When the regents of the University of Cali- fornia meet next Tuesday afternoon at the Hopkins Institute of Art, it is thought that & site will be selected for the Wilmerding school. A committee from the Merchants’ Association, composed of James D. Pnelan, F. W. Dohr- mann, Joseph Leggett, H. J. Crocker, Alfred Bouvier and Hugo D. Kiel, will be at the meet- ing to urge sites in_San Francisco. Commit- tees from Stockton, Oakland and other cities, desirous of securing the school, will press their respective claims. So far no particular site is favored, e Alleged Fraudulent Conveyance. George H. Lent, assignee of John J. O’Farrell, £1 insolvent debtor, has brought suit against .

DZFENSE ON AP:RJURY CHARGE If Finally Sustained It Will Have a Far-Reaching Eff.ct on Fu'ure Actions. In Judge Wallace’s department of the Superior Court there is a case on argu- ment entitled the People against Ayhern, that will prove of unusual interest to the politicians of California in practically ap- plying the provisions of the so-called Australian election law. It may lead toa decision that will seriously interfere with the aspirations of would-be candidates who are not strong enough to get on the blanket-ticket by reason of their own popularity, and who are therefore con- strained to seek the assistance of others in order to secure the necessary 3 per cent of signatures of qualified voters. An information was filed against Panl A. Ayhern charging him with perjury for | having sworn on October 12, 18%, that E. J. Stone, C. Dietrick, Henry K. Bond, C. ‘A. Buck and Morris Wendt signed a cer- tain petition for nomination of certain men to be members of the Legislature, when in fact he knew that the persons named did not sign the document. In the information an allegation is made that “‘a full set of City and County officers were to be chosen’’ at the election then pending. g On this the defendant, by his attorney, John J. Guilfoyle Jr., filed a demurrer on the ground that the information 1s not sufficiently explicit in its terms. He said he was not sure that the office of Assem- blyman would be included in what the District Attorney by his information called **a full set of City and County offi- cers.” If the office of Assemblyman is not 8o inciuded, and in view of recent de- cisions by the Supreme Court, it appeared difficult for any ©ne to say what is “‘a tull set of City and County officers,”” then the act of Ayiern, if actuallv performed, was not material, and no offense had been iited. ; coll;‘er:u(y District Attorney Hinkle con- tended that the defendant was given all the information to which he was entitled, and possibly more than he liked to hear. He thouvht the document was in proper form. e Wallace at this point took a hand an:gE discussion. He wanted to under- stand Mr. Guilfoyle’s position. “Do ou contend that 1t is essential for the particular office for which the nomi- nee was proposed shall be set forth i'n the information or indictment?’ asked the court. “I do,” replied Mr. Guilfoyle, *‘and I furtber contend that for each separate nominee there must be a separate petition filed under the Australian ballot law. Therefore. any act alleged toshave been periormed in any other manner would be invalid and of no effect. In such a case an information charging a crim for an act thus described could not be sustained.”’ Judge Wallace appeared to be disposed to accent this view. On reading the law he said it seemed that each man who seeks to be placed on the ballot by peti- tion must stand on his own merits; that he is not privileged to join with another or others in order to secure the necessary percentage of signatures which would en- title him 1o a place on the official ballot. If such a practice were permitted it might result in the people accepting as a nomi- nee a man they did not want in. order to ge! one they did want. Such a state of affairs might result from the filing of & full ticket nominated by a convention, but that appeared to be provided for by the law, whereas the opposite was the provi- sion that related to the putting of indi- vidual names cn the ticket by petition. Mr. Hinkle asked permission to submit a brief on the matter. and the case was accordingly continued by the court for future cons deration. If Judge Wallace's views of the law as here outlined had been enforced before the lest election, t.e National Democratic party would have been required to file a separate petition for each of the Presi- dential electors named on beLaif of Palmer and Buckner.

Way and Prices Are High. The Conditions of the Mining and Other Interests as Told by M Burk. M. Burk, for fifteen years a resident of Deming, N. Mex., and long one of the owners of the Victoria combination of mines, is at the Occidental. “Our interests down there,”” he said yes- terday, “‘are almost exclusively gold, silver and copper mining ana cattle-raising, and the different kinds of business that grow out of these. “Deming, which, as is fairly well known, is at th» junction of the Santa Fe and Southern Pecific railroads, now has from 1:00 to 1400 people. Twenty-seven miles away is Silver C‘El . the capital of Grant County, in which the two towns are lo- cated, Silver City is quite a vigorous camp, and a good deal or gold and silver is being mined there. Itis the most im- | | ested in three claims there. portant camp around there. However, there are several others in the vicinity that are {ielding some ore. “The Victoria mine is situated about twenty miles west of Deming. It pro- duces gold, silver and lead. I am inter- Hagg'n and Hearst have seven, and W. M. Lent owns some incerests also. It is a rich mining region, and the people are well satisfied with it. “In cattle-growing the country about Deming has made great strides. In 1892 about balf the cattle were dead, owing to the drouth, but during thelastthree years M. Burk, One of the Owners of the Victoria Mine, Near Deming. [Sketched from life by a *“ Call” artist.) the conditions have been so favorable for cattle that they have increased so fast that there are more now than there ever were. Not only that, but the prices are good. Thus it is that there is great pros- perity among the cattle-growers,” a Mr. Burk will be in the City for several ays. e Burglars Held to Answer. W. Kelly, W. Tulby, alias Kiog, and Thomas Cornwell were yesterday held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Campbell on the charge of burglary in $1000 bonds each. They are accused of breaking into the Cali- fornia warchouse, Second and Townsend streets, some weeks ago and stealing eight cases 0f whisky, Kelly was also held on & similar charge of having broken into the Pa- cific Mail dock and stolen a quantity ot metal. —_————— Sentences Imposed Yesterday. Judge Belcher yesterday pronounced sen- tence on three prisoners. James Edwards, convicted of burglary, one year in San Quen- tin; Richard Davenport, burglary, one year in 8an Quentin; Roland T. Manuning, petty larceny, three months in the County Jail. A Budget of Interesting News and Gossip About the California Golony in the Eastern Metropolis. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 8—"Fill all| the stops of life with taneful breath.” Thus sang a humble poet of American soil, Cornelius Matthews by name, a man who left behind a little volume of verse which should live and be always treasured among the gems of Americen literature. If we could always keep a cheerful, happy melody ringing in rhythmic meas- ure through our mmmost beings, we would never find ourselves the miserable pos- sessors of ‘“a regular old stem-winding case of blues.”” There is a man who, whenever he finds himself threatened with an attack of the “dumps” or “blues,” straightway brings out a small plate of glass, as clear and red as a pigeon- blood ruby, and religiously gazes through it, until by the psychological influence of color over the senses, he finds himself growing cheerful and happy. The roseate hue which seems to bathe ail objects about bim makes him forget his despond- ency, and he awakens to the sweet enjoy- ment of life and its trials once more. After ail it is absurd to fancy shadows are everywhere, for there is a song and a burst of sunshine through all our days if we would only let our dull ears hear and our dim eyes see. Colonel and Mrs. M. H. Hecht of San Francisco have been in town since last ‘Wednesday and are at the Holland. R. E. Roberts, the popular and well- "known mining man of San Francisco, reached New York a few days ago from a two years’ stay in South Africa. Mr. Roberts is not particularly enthusiastic concerning African mines and projects. 'He reports business very quiet and un- FROM GREATER NEW YORK. | profitable. Mr. Roberts left on Friday morning for Guadalajara, Mexico, to look at a mining property ‘which is re- ported as being very dne. He will return almost immediately to London, thougn he will find time to visit old friends in San Francisco before he continues the journey eastward. % By private letter comes the intellizence that Ambrose Bierce will be obliged to return to the mild climate of California. He has been rapidly losing strength within the past month and his physicians advise him to go west immedaiately, as a winter in the severe Eastern climate might prove “‘:’l“.‘:fi. Pettingill, who for many years was a resident of Oakland, bas truly become a “'bird of passage.” Within the past year he has been through China, Japan, India and Africa and has now reached New York in the best of health and spirits. Mr. Pettingill has decided to remain in New York permanently and engage in the real- estate business. The California “colony.” here needs recruits and Mr. Pettingill is one who will be cordially received and 1 d. 'eh(cr‘;.m.{ 0’B.

My mother and my immediate friends knew of my ision at once. I | presume many will criticize, but that will | not affect me, I am so very bappy nowl Oh, =0 bappy!" And Mrs. Fennell looks it. Her trousseau is handsome, a number of gowns being imported creations. Gerald Martin Fennell is an English- man and a member of a very distinguished family. The ancestral home at Chisel- hurst, England, is many hundreds of years old, and the family boasts of many rightful crests. He is interested in busis ress in New York, and will, in all proba~ bility, make this city their home. Mr. and Mrs. Fennell are happy in the knowl. edge that theirs is a romance sweet and true. Mr. Fennell won his wife’s love when she was a very young girl traveling in Europe. She declares he was her first sweetheart. After many years of estrange- ment they have met again and been united in the linked bondage all true lov- ers delight in. Who shall say the days of Tromance are over? Crittenden Robinson of San Francisco came into town on Friday. Hon. Claus Spreckels and Mrs, Spreckels have gone over to Phiiadelphia for a week. They will return to the Waldorf about Wednesday. Mme. Sara Bernhardt has opened a mil- linery establishment on the Avenue and will have it superintended by her niece and a friend. They and their millinery goods are importations direct from Pars.

Miss Agnes Johnson, known on the stage asone of the “Stewart sisters,” has re- turned from her home in Los Angeles, to begin an engarement in New York for the winter. Miss Johnson is & loyal Cali- fornian and proves it by spending a part of each year in her Los Angeles home. E. J. Baldwin left for the coast on Thurs- day. He managed to pull out of the rut at Morris Park with about $3000 winning on his string of horses. Prior to the Morris Park races “Lucky’’ Baldwin has been avery **Unincky” Bald- win, as the odds were always against him. Next season he expects to do wonderful things with a few of the ‘‘youngsters’ that have been in reserve. Horseracing is becoming a dull pastime in the East, and ere many years it is reas- onable to predict that racing will be a thing almost unheard of. Harry Pearson had a party of Western friends at the *‘Hoffman” on election night, and when the returns reported that California had gone for McKinley the cheers, “tigers’’ and warwhoops of ap. proval were deafening. The popping of corks and clinkine of cut glass when toasts were proposed ‘‘was most scandalous and improper,” as our kind oid auntie from the country would have declared. Dear, whole-souled, honest Ned Taylor walked down Fiith avenue the otherafter- noon with a very pretty woman, to whom he was devoting every bit of his attention. It is rather unusual to write of a gentle- man’s mode of wearing his beara, but somehow it may prove interesting to many of Mr. Taylor’s old friends to know that he no longer wears a full cropped beard. Instead he wears a military mustache— and, girls—it is very becoming. Mrs. Amanda Jeanne Marceau (the ex- Mrs. Theo. Marceau) no sooner slipped out of bondage when presto, she has jumped into 1t again.

Parker Morgan, M.A., Amanda Jeanne Marceau of San Francisco, Cal., to Gerald Martin Fennell of Chiselhurst, England. London and San Francisco papers please copy. % It seemed incredible, and Mrs. Marceau Fennell’s acquaintances here were as- tounded to hear of her marriage. It is true, though, for when seen at her apart- mentsin the Holland House she smiled sweetly and said in o voice fairly sweiling with happiness: *'Yes, I have been very wise and married again. I know it was very sudden and unconventional, but Mr. Fennell and I decided that as we would be ings were rst mads by band about 1730. NEW TO-DAY. Matchless Prices CROCKERY, CHINA, GLASSWARE.
