14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1896. BURIAL ORDINANCE FOUND INVALID The 0dd Fellows’ Cemetery Association Wins | Its Case. D:cision of Much Importance Rendered by th: Supreme Court Justice McFarland Filed an Emphatic Opinion Dissenting From His Associates. The Supreme Court, sitting in bank. yes- | terday decided ‘that ordinance 2950 of the | City and County of San Francisco is in- | valid. This is the order which prohibits | the further purchase of lots for burial pur- poses within the City and County; also | providing for further burials being made in lots heretofore acquired by persons or associations for burial purposes. The wide scope of the decision in its effects may be inferred from the dissent- ing opinion filed by Justice McFarland, which was in part as follows: *If tne fur- ther sale and purchase of lots for burial | purposes cannot be prohibited unless all | burials in lots already purchased are pro- | hibited, then it is evident that there can | be no gradual progress toward the extin- guishment of the cemetery evil. The or- dinance overates uniformly upon all the | class who come within its provisions. As | long as the sale and purchase of lots for burial purposes are allowed the cemetery | evil will be grestly magnified and its sup- pression made correspondingly more difli- | cult.” | Justices Harrizon, Van Fieet, Temple, | 4 Henshaw and Beatty held against the | validity of the ordinance. The closing paragraph of the opinion, which was by Justice Harrison, was as follows: “As the ordinance, by its terms as well as by its operation, ditcriminates between the in- dividuals upon whom it is intended to operate, it is, upon that ground, unreason- | able and invalid, and the petitioner should | be discharged.” ‘ Few opinions handed down in the Supreme Court in late years have more | general interest to the City and County of San Francisco than this, especially in | tbat very large section of the City known | as Richmond, in which the cemeteries | principally are. | The case in which the decision was | reached was kngwn as ex parte Bohen on | habeas corpus. Mr. Bohen, as the presi- dent of the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery Asso- ciation, signed a conveyance of certain lots in the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery and therefore aided and avetted, according to the compiaint, in the violation of the ordinance. The lower court found him guilty of the offense as chargea. He then | took the case into the Supreme Court | upon an application for a writ of habeas | corpus. The Supreme Court clears him of | ali liability in the decision which finds | that the ordinance itself is invalid. The Supreme Court, discussing the or- dinance, related some history. Under an act of the Legislature of April 25, 1863, the | Board i of Supervisors of San Francisco | was authorized to maie *‘all regulations | which may be expedient for the preserva- tion of the public health and the preven- | tion of contagious diseases.” The City | aad County could, through the Supervi- sors, pass ordinances providing for the burial of the dead within certain portions | of the City, but the power of the Legisla- | ture to prohibit burials in the entire City, as well as the power of the City to pass ordinances therefor, were questions not presented for considerstion in determin- | ing tbe validity of the ordinance under | which the petitioner for the writof habeas | corpus was convicted. The ordinance does not, so the court | found, prohibit burials within the Cit nor does it prohibit them within any de: ignated poriion of the City. On the con- trary, there is, by the terms of the ordi- nance itself, an express sanction of the right of those whc have purchased lots for | the purpose of burial in any portion of the | City, to continue to bury until their ca- pacity is exhaunsted. Incidentally the court referred to the remaining capacity of the Odd Fellows’ Cemetery. ‘It appears that the Odd Fel- | lows’ Cemetery will permit the interment | of 18,000 bodies, while the capacity of the unsold lots is only 3600.” There is no re- | striction in tbe ordinance upon persons whose bodies may be burted in lots sold except that they shali not be used for gen- eral interment purposes, and the owner of | a lot may consent tc the burial of one who | has no interest in the lot. | Unlimited burials and danger to living | versons might be reasons for the ordi- | nance, but while burials are permitted in | the aistrict the privilege cannot be lim- ited to one classof citizens. The owner of a lot within a cemetery who has purchased it for purposes of burial holds the same subject to the rightof the City of prohibit- ing further burials. - The ordinance in question forbids the vpurchase or sale o!; any parcel of land it made for the purpose | of doing an act there which is in itselt not | only not 1llecal and forbidden, but is by | the same ordinance recognized as legal and permitted to others. The sale and | purchase of the lot cannot be made the basis of a criminal misdemeanor. S tigngl OVER FOR TWO MONTHS. The Street Committee Postpones Cut- ting Through the Cemetery. The matter of cutting Sutter street through Laurel Hill Cemetery was again before the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday, and it was de- cided to postpone action on the matter for sixty days, which Jeaves the matter in the hands of the newly elected board in case it gains its seat. The representation was made to the committee that to pay the damages to those owning lots in the cemetery would cost the City §$1,000,000, and on this showing the matter was post- poned. TAYLOR STREET IN LINE. Tho Storekeepers Will Join the Illumi- nating Procession To-Morrow Night With a Will. The storekeepers on Taylor street, be- tween Golden Gate avenue and Eddy street, are not going to remain in the dark while other business sireets will be cele- brating the new order of illuminating their localities. This step on the part of the Taylor-street merchants assumed act- ive shape a few days ago, when Hermann Faber and Thomas Mitchell of the firm of Mitchell & Peckerman, on consultation made the movement-to obtain subscrip- tions for the purpose of joining the pro- gressive procession. After three days’ solicitation the follow- ing storekeepers*chesrfully signed the list jor six arc hights on the two blocks men- tioned : Northwest corner of Turk and Taylor; W. Hoelscher & Co., consisting of L. Pockwiiz, Ed Schnutenhaus and W. Hoelscher; 119, Fgber & ‘'om Scott, the Minto saloon; 105, erman; 110, E. Stewart, dry goods .

A band of music, with bonfires at both ends of the illuminated lines and Jap- anese lanterns strung on both sides of the street, will be some of the attractive fea- tures to be seen to-morrow night. JIN CORBETT WILL FIGHT He Has Agreed to Meet Fitzsim- mons in a Contest to a Finish. Dan Stuart Will Select the Battle Ground and Fitzsimmons Will Be There on Time. Martin Julian received a telegram last night from Dan A. Stuart, stating that J. J. Corbett had signed articles for a finish fight with Fitzsimmons for a $15,000 purse. The battle will take place in Mexico March 17, 1897, the exact location to be mentioned by Stuart thirty days before the time set and the full purse put up to be divided equally between the two pugi- lists if Stuart fail to bring the battle off. Julian and Fizsimmons contemplate leaving here in a few days, and have wired to Stuart their acceptance of the terms. A telegram was also received by a local sporting man from the sport.ng editor of a New York daily giving the added infor- mation that Corbett was not willing for anybody to have a kinetoscope or other instrument for picturing the fight unless | the club would agree to raise the amount of the purse or uniess a private arrange- ment could pe made agreeable to all. This also strikes Fitz favorably. Bot: Julian and Fitzsimmons were elated last night to learn that Coruett had signed. They statéd that the referee mu- tually agreed upon some time ago is George Siier, the sporting editor of the Chicago Tribune. e SRR T Famous Horsemen Arrive Here. A noted party of horsemen arrived here in a special car by last night’s overland train. The party includes: H. F. Griffia, the famous jockey; David Gideon of New York, the widely known’ owner of fast horses; G. A. Wheelock, one of the largest betting men i1, the United States, and Joe F. Ullmaw, a noted horse-owner and one of the directors of the Ingleside track. ——o o Officers of the Industrinl School. E. M. Preston, founder and one of the direc- tors of the Preston School of Industry at Ione, E. Carl Bank, superintendent of the school, H. R. Bernard, secretary, and Attorney L.J. Mad- dox of Modesto and Fayette Mace of Ione, di- rectors, arrived here last night. It is an- nounced that they are to hold a meeting in reference to the school. e s - ‘Will Assemble Naval Vessels.

The Solemn Words Are Spoken in a Dainty Floral Bower. Dr. Mackenzie Officiates at the Wed- ding and Reuben Llovd Is Best Man. Mrs. Mary Kane Gibbs and Alexander Heyneman were married last evening at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. F. E. ! Gibbs, 2508 Fillmore street. Rev. Dr. Mackenzie pronounced the words that made the happy young couple one. Mr. Heyneman is a popular young law- yer, who enjoys an enviable reputation in this community. His bride is the daugh- scatter the contents. None but the postal authorities can do this. Again, it is asked if the Jaw contemplates making postal authorities gnarantine offi- cers, or, rather, to do the work of quaran- tine officers. In times past a postoffice inspector has been sent to the quarantine station, where he remained during the epidemic in the infected ports. It may be necessary 10 do so again, but it is likely that instructions from Washington will be recerved upon this point before such a step is tuken. The postal authorities do not want it understood that they are an- tagonistic to the heaith officers, but that they will help to the fullest extent of their powers in such matters; but, as stated in the foregoing, they do not exactly under- stand the present situnation. FOR HOMELESS GIRLS. A Bazaar Held at the California Girls’ Training Home on Natomsa Street. The California Girls’ Training Home held a bazaar yesterday from 10 A. until 10 P. x. at the home's building, 147 Natoma street. The intention was toadd to the fund for the maintenance of the home, and the manager, Mrs. L. B. Fischer, says the receip(s irom the sales were excellent. All the articles on sale were made by the twenty-nine girls who are inmates of the home. Mrs. Fischer is very much pleased at the ascistance rendered the home by the Girls’ High School, which recently held an entertainment and raised quite a large sum. The money thusacquired will go to furnishing several of the rooms in the commedious new building. Their aum- | ber is seventy, but many are still unfur- nished. Itis also desired by the manager that all those charitably inclined would call on MR. ter of the late Frederick E. Gibbs, who for many years filed with credit many posi- tions of public trust. The wedding last evening, owing to the ill health of the bride’s mother, was quiet and' informal, Sixty-five invited guests assembled in the rose decorated drawing- rooms to witness the ceremony. There were no bridal attendants. Little Alice Elvesson, a niece of the groom, preceded the bridal party to the floral bower, where the solemn words were spoken. Reuben H. Lioyd, the attorney, was best man, and Henry Landsberger and Otto Heyneman ushers. The bride wore an elezant gown of white embroidered chiffon over a founda- tion of white satin. At the throat was pinnea a pearl and diamond cluster brooch, the gift of t- e groom. The bridal gifts were unusually hand- some and costly. There were many pieces of silver and crystal and much old-point, the gitt of an old friend of the bride’s mother. Mr. and Mrs. Heyneman will leave this morning for a bridal tour, which will be necessarily contracted on account oif the aporoaching holidays. The newly weaded pair, however, expect to extend their trip in the spring. ARC LIGHTS NOT READY. Consequently the Sixteenth-Street Cels- bration Will Not Take Place Saturday Night, The merchants and storekeepers of Sixteenth street are sadly disappointed by the Edison Electric Light and Power Company. For some time pasi the Sixteenth-street Improvement Club has been making efforts to bave the street lighted by electric arc lamps from Valen- cia to Folsom. At last the means and support necessary was obtained, and’a contract was made with the Edison people to have all of the lamps in by Saturday night. Arrangements were made for a grand celebration on Saturday evening, with its attending brass band, bonfires and decorations and crowds of movin people. . The m embers of the club yesterday re- ceived word from the electric-light people that it will be im possible to get the lamps put up before next Wednesday. When the club met last evening aisappointment was visible upon the faces of all. The club has now decided not to hold a cele- bration at all upon the occasion of the lighting of the street as all the other im- provement clubs in the City will have had their celebrations. However, another plan is on fuot that has in it the element of novelty. itis this. There will be monthly cele- brations with band, bonfire, etc. The idea is that on such occasions every mer- chant and dealer in the blocks and those on Mission street, from Fifteenth to Sev- enteenth, will have special sales in some of their lines of good:. Every on2 con- tributing to the fete will have his special sale advertised on the band-wagon and on street posters. The purpose is to cause the people from the surrounding districts to flock to the light and music, attracted. not only by these features but by the cer- tainty of obtaining good bargains. L1t is likely that the first monthly celebration will be held on New Year’s eve. Thers is a rumor in the Mission that the large laundry on Sixteenth street is about to put in a large electric lighting and power plant and make a bid for street, store and house lightin of the entire district. QUARANTINING MATLS. Lotters From Japan’s Intected Ports Likely to Be Delayed. The Postoflice officials were a little*puz- zled yesterday upon the receipt of a letter from the local Board of Health, in which notice was given that Yokohama and Kobe bad been declared infected ports, and that all passengers and baggage will be removed to the qunarantine station at An- gel Island and fumigated. The question is if baggage means the mails? If so no quarantine officer has the authority to break the seals on the mail pouches and | - AND MRS, ALEXANDER HEYNEMAN.

The inquests on the bodies of Mrs, Sarah B. Cooper and her daughter Har- | riet were held yesterday at the Morgue. The testimony was almost identical with the published accounts of the cad deaths oi these well-known pLilanthropists. The verdict in the case of the daughter was that she ‘‘had come to-her death by her own hana while laboring under tempo- rary insanity.” Upon the death of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper the jury decided that she had ‘‘come to her death December 11 by asphyxia from illuminating gas, and we furiher find that death occurred at the hand of her daugh- ter, Miss Harriet Cooper, deceased, while the said Miss Harriet Cooper was tempo- rarily insane.”’ The witnesses were John Bonner, Mrs. G. T. Gaaen, Wong Louie (the Chinese servant) and Dr. Sidney Worth. The tes- timony given by these in the case of the daughter was repeated in the case of Mrs. Cooper, but none of the evidence threw any new light upon the awfuk tragedy. The jurors were: George R. Kibble (fore- man), E.J. McNeill, . F. Fiinn, A. J. Washburn, N. C. Hulte, E. T. Zahler, A. Block, William R. Reid. ———————— Threats to Kill. G. Cappillino and G. Campi are rival scaven- gers. Cappillino lives at 512 Nineteenth street, and yesterday morning he swore to & com- plamnt in Judge Joachimsen’s court for Campi’s arrest on the charge of threats to kill. He said that Campi had been trying to take his customers from him and Wednesday afternoon they met and Campi pulled a revolver out of his pocket and threatened to kill him in the presence of two witnesses. —_————— Attorney McEiroy’s Legal Services.

Support. One Hundred and Fifty Mem- bers Have Joined the Organization. J H. Jones Is President and F. E, Mascherini S:cretary—May S:nd Men to Cuba. * The first organized movem ent in this City looking toward the ireedom of Cuba from the Spanish yoke has been started, and already 150 citizens, who were thrilled with tie accounts of General Maceo’s death, have enrolled themselves for the cause. The originators of the movement, which bas already taken the form of a club, are J. H. Jones, who is in the employ of Su- pervisor C. L. Taylor, and F. S. Mascher- ini, a grocery, wine ' and liquor dealer, whose place of business is at 718 Greenwich street. The object, at present, is not to raise a force of armed men to go to Cuba to ficht for its freedom, but rather to give finan- cial and moral support to the patriots who are now battling against the overwhelm- ing armies of General Weyler. Later, if the movement receives the sup- port and encouragement that is expected, a namber of picked men may be sent to join one of the numerous bands that are constantly starting for the seat of war from Eastern States. In order to give the matter all the prom- inence possible, a mass-meeting at one of the big halls in this City will be held in the near future, and well-known speakers who are known to be in sympathy with Cuba will be asked to address the audi- ence. After that plans for raising funds will be formulated and every possible means taken to keepthe Cuban Junta and the patriots of the isiand informed of the feelings of the people of California toward them. The active promoters of the plan are: J. H. Jones, Faust E. Mascherini, David Lecari, L. Becker, John Sandbench, J. Oliva, M. Murray, Charles. Campbell and Chartes Telghman, and the oificers are: J. H. Jones, president; F. E. Mascherini, secretary, and David Lecari, sereeant-at- arms. Several meetings have been held at the place of business of Secretary Mas- c::erini. which is the headauasrters of the club. “We hope to render the strugeling Cubans much aid,”” saia President Jones last evening, ‘‘and to show in a substan- tial way the sympathy we feel for them. The club, for which we have not s yet chosen a name, alreadv has 150 members, and there are many more who are auxious to join. *'If the mass-meeting that we intend to call shows us that the people are with us we will communicate with the Cuban Junta in New York and arrange to raise funds in their benalf.” COST HIGH, BUT IT'S GOOD, AMERICAN BEST CHRISTMAS COFFEE.

The Grand Jury met last evening and asked City and County Attorney Creswell to throw some light on the litigation 1n which title to the Mission Plaza and a hospital lot is involved. Mr. Creswell was with the jury for an hour or more and went over the voluminous record in the cases. The purpose of the Grand Jury is to stimulate the municipal authorities to vigorous measures in ordar that the City may secure undisputed possession of lands reserved for public use by the Van Ness ordinance. Owing to neglect of officers chosen to guard the interests of the City claimants with little or no shadow of titie have been allowed to grab and hold valu- able lands which belong to the public. It ie belleved that i the cases now on the court calendar are handled with skill and determination valuable lands in dis- pute may yet be saved. The Grand Jury will adjourn sine die sometime next week. Committee re- ports were received and discussed last night. Anotber session will be held to- day. Judge Slack desires 1o follow the law and impanel another Grand Jury before the expiration of the present year, so the members of the existing jury have but a few days to complete their re- port. The Sharkey-Fitzsimmons vrizefight dia not engage the attention of the jury iast night. The Civic Federation may send a communication on this topic to-day. == g MEN FOR A MANLESS ISLE. Reinhart Lectures on His South Sea Colony Scheme. J. H. Reinhart, proprietor of the colony now forming to settle the so-called “man- less isle” of £t. John, delivered a lecture on his scheme at Metropolitan Temple last night. The attendance was not large, but the enthusiasm of the speaker was great. The lecturer began by saying that he was lured into the notion of the colony by the reports of luxuriant vegetation and unequaled opportunities. “It requires an ordinary carpenter eleven years to make $4779,"” ge said, “but down in the i-lands ther: would be liberty and great chances. ‘There is good timoer, fishing is splendid aud general opportum- ties are unequaled.” The speaker said he had about twenty men who wanted to jnin the colony, but thought be could get 100. It was rumored fnt night, however,that Sir Jobn Thurston now has absolute con- trol of the settlement of the islands, and that he opposes Americans, his experience at Fiji making him despise them as set- tlers. It is said tbat the Marquis Durev was imprisoned many years ago for at- temptinga settlement similar to that pro- posed by Reinhart. Died at Sca, When the steamer Arcata arrived from the north the master reported the death of Maxime Langevine, one of the passengers who was (aken on board at Port Orford. Or.
