Reported Engagement of La Loie Fuller to Senator Cantor. Advices received in this City from New York report that La Loie Fuller, the famous and fascinating danseuse and ar- tist in feminine draperies, iz engaged to be married to Jacob A. Cantor, State Senator of New York. Miss Fuller declined yesterday to either confirm or deny the report, but admitted that Senator Cantor was a dear friend. Senator Cantor has been in the Legisla- ture and Senate for twelve years, and has been a leader of his party for at least six— for two years was president pro tem. It was he who passed the bill in New Yori State ailowing bicycles free way after 8 A. M. to 6 P. M. (they were allowed only be- fore 8 A. M. and aiter 6 P. M. up to that time in the entire State).

B YQUNG HEARTS GLADDENED. Christmas Exercises at the Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Soclety. The Chrisimas services of the Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society were held at that insti- tution, corner of Grove and Baker streets, last evening. ‘1hey were postponed until yesterday evening, so that the youthtul inmates might go home and enjoy the holiday with their parents. The exercises consisted of a series of recitations and songs by some of the lit- tle ones and a cantata on the subject of NO MORE BLOOD FOR CHINATOWN A Verbal Contract to That Effect Made Last Tuesday. The Powerful Bo Ong Tong Wishes a Bonded Agreement. Threats of Chinese Merchants Pro- duced the Result—Hip Yings Still Sullen. The various Celestial societies and clans in Chinatown are now at peace. “Now” is used advisedly, for the peace that has been patched up exists only by word of mouth, and the fact is well known that when it comes to keeping an agreement the gentlemen of the almond eye are not modeled on the lines of the anclent Puri- tans.

Winkelman and His Wife Have Each Other Arrested. Mrs. Calla Winkelman, 19 years of age, was arrested yesterday on the complaint of her husband, C. W. Winkelman, on the charge of infidelity, and he was arrested on her complaint on the charge of bat- tery. According to the wife’s story she has been married about two years and hasa baby 14 months old. For months she has been earning money for her husband, who she says is a gambler and frequents a saloon at 17 Turk street. Abouta week ago he beat her and left her, taking their child with him. She went to live at 107 Turk street. Her husband called there yesterday morning and asked for her baby’s clothing. She refused to deliver it np unless he told her where the child was. Winkelman would not tell her and struck her in the face. R — WAS HE HELD UP?

Oue of the Red Stack tugs in charge of Captain Harvey went out to offer assistance, but was langhed at for his pains. Captain Silovich of the Vigilant got a similar reception. The agents of the vessel were appealed to, but refused to act. Then the Harbor Commissioners took the matter in hand, and the Simla was moved. Now the master will not get a permit to dock his ship until the towage | bill is paid. The vessel was in a very | dangerous position, ana sho uld have been moved at once, but the master was obhsti- nate, and as a last resort Mr. Scott had to move her before darkness came down.

All the boys on the water front are baving a laugh at the expense of Collector Ratteubery, the popular oflicer who looks out for the State’s interests at section 1 of the seawall. Christmas eve Rattenbery won & turkey in a raffle, He bad it boxea and started for home. On the way some of his friends took the turkey from the box and put a rock in its place. Yesterday they were eating turkey in a well-known resort near the seawall at Rattenbery’s expense. What he said when he opened the box and found the turkey gone is another story. With the new year the Monticello will stop running the 9:30 p. M. trip. The travel does not warrant the extra trip, so Captain Hatch has decided to discontinue it. The chances are, also, that instead of ienving Vallejo at 7 A.

Tue Harbor Commissioners will offer the top story in the cupola of the new St. Nicholas visiting the school. About fifty children participated in the cantata. An imitation fireplace was placed in a corner of the schooiroom and a chimney of candy-boxes was built on it. Then at a given signal young John Razzetto, dressed like Santa Claus, rushed from be- hind it and into the waiting and expect- ant throng. Each of the 135 children received a pres- ent, and all were happy in consequence. Superintendent Smiley himself went round among them with a dunce-cap on his head. As he expressed it, “You see, I am one of the boys.”” THE REMAINS HOUSED, ¥Friends Cared for the Body of Engineer Scott, Killed Accidentally on the San Bruno Road. Owing to the exertions of friends, the body of Frank Scott, the engineer for Warren & Malley, and who was killed on the San Bruno road late Christmas night, did not remain uncared for throughout the long night. Friends of the deceased claim that they were unable to reach the San Mateo County Coroner, James Crowe, and when they applied to the San Francisco Coroner, that official was compeiled to reply that he had no jurisdiction. But they were not to be deterred, and after long delay secured permission from the deputy Coroner at Baden to move the body. At an early hour yesterday morning the remains were tenderly placed in a buggy and taken to the Warren & Malley camp. There they remained until 8 o’clock, when goroner Crowe removed them to Redwood ity. It may be stated in regard to the pub- lished account of the discovery of the body, that Coroner James Crowe of San Mateo was not to blame for the seeming indifference in the matter. The Coroner states that he was never notified of tne accident, although he has a telephone in his private house, where he was all yester- day. He accordingly did not telephone, as reported, that it was ‘*too dark and too cold” to go down and take charge of the remains. The unfortunate engineer was un- married. It was ascertained that in fall- ing down the embankment, his head struck on a rock and the skull was fruc- tured. He was accompanied on his fatal excursion by a man named John Miron, of this City. —————— Mechanics’ Institute Lecture.

Hoitt, Ph.D, * Virar 10 a clashine of tha Bo Ong Tong on one | side and the Hip ¥ing, the Sue Ying and | Bo Leong tongs on the other. This is not regarded by the Chinese merchants, who suffer most from highbinder feuds, as the faultof the Bo Ongs, who have held the olive branch on high on every occasion. True to their nature, however, the hatchet bas not been left to rust in case the peace- offering were refused. Fung Get, who committed suicide while confined in the City Prison, was a Hip Ying man and owed his prosecution to the Bo Ongs. The Hip Yings have never since been able to reconcile themselves to the fact of his voluntary death, but assert that the Bo Ong Tong hired somebody to kill him. The:efore they were unwiliing to deciare peace until the Bo Ongs should make proper monetary restitution. This the Bo Ong Tong refused to do, as it denied having aanything to do with Fung Get’s death. So last Tuesday even- ing tne Chinese Merchants’ Association held a meeting at the headquarters of the Sc¢e Yup Association, corner of Clay street and Waverly piace. Representatives of the Bo Leong, the Hip Ying and the Sue Ying. tongs were present, including the cousins of Fung Get. The merchants declared that war must cease, as they were tired of the ruinous ! effect on their business. They also affirmed their belief that Fung Get died by his own hand and that the Bo Ong Tong was in no wise responsible for his taking off. Accordingly they offered to give the cousins of Fung Get $70 to make peace. The offer was spurned, but at the same time a verbal agreem«nt was reached that there should be no more bloodshed. The Bo Ongs are far from satisfied with this declaration. They want the opposing faction to putup a bond that no more men shall be murdered and promise that they will do the same. Asthe Bo Ongs comprise about 1000 members and the opposing faction, inciuding the Bo Leong, the Hip Ying and the Sue Ying tong: only about 300 memkbers in all, this prop sition of theirs is regarded by the mer- chants as magnanimous. 1f it were not for Joe Gar and Lee Mee Toy, both of whom are said to be influ- ential members of the Bo Leong Toug, it is believed that a bonded agreement of peace could be reached in short order. Anyway the merchants, who in reality control the actions of the thirteen high- binder societies in Chinatown, declare that if any of the three toncs mentioned mani- fest their dislike of the Bo Ongs by start- ing another carnival of murder they will turn all the rest of the organizations against them and make things assume a lurid tint. This threat is generally be- lieved to be effectual. MISSION PARK PROPERTY. Mrs, Callaghan’s Attempted Trust Is Declared Invalid. Judge Coffey rendered an important de- cision in the Ann Callaghan estate yester- day by which he declared invalid the trust which the testator attempted to create for the management of a portion of her es- tate. The property in dispute is what is some- times known as Mission Park, a long nar- row strip of land lying between Mission street and West Mission street near Thir- teenth. At the time of her death Mrs. Cal- laghan owned an undivided one-half of this Mission Park, and, thinking it would become extremely valuable in the future, she attempted to bave it placed in the hands of trustees for the benefit of her heirs, but Atiorney Charles 8. Wheeler, representing some of the keirs, objected to the attempted crestion of the trust on the ground that it was not in accordance with the requirements of the civil code. The court took this view of the case and declared the trust void. By this decision 99-150 of the interest owned by Mrs. Cal- laghan becomes the properiy of Daniel Callaghan and 60150 goes to Mrs. Bailey. For years the title to this property has be ‘n in iitigation, the city claiming sole ownership. Itis believed, however, that the recent decision of the Supreme Court in the Holladay case will deieatthe city's claim and that the present holders of the land will have a clear title. If such are- sult is reached it is expected that the old tumble-down rookeries that now disfigure the property will be supplanted by build- ings worthy of the location. [ — Ancient Egypt.

Five hundred homing pigeons will fly from Sacramento, January 10, from the grounds back of the State Capital, in the first of the free-for-all races which have been arranged by the California Homing Club. The club held a meeting last even- ing to receive the final entries. ‘When the great fluttering of wings inci- dental to the flicht of this large flock of birds comes off, Governor Budd and the Legislature will be present. In fact, one purpose in having the race at that time and place is to point out to the legisiators the value of homing pigeons. Legislatiou will be asked to impose a penalty for the killing of a homer. In some Eastern States there are legal penalties for killing any pigeon, so that hunters who may not kaow homers have no excuse if they shoot one by mistake, ! The homing birds are worth from $25 to $50 each. The entries for the second race, free for all, will close January 16. This race will take place January 30 from San Jose. Adsisd sblesinn s ON ONE LEG R. M. Brown Coasts Down the Chutes Like an Old-Timer, The Chutes were visited yesterday after- noon by nearly 7000 people, the majority of whom were children. An unannounced attraction was the ap- pearance of R. M. Brown, the one-legged cyclist, who is going around the world on nis wheel. He felt confident that he could go down the chutes on his wheel and laud in the laxe in the same manner that Pirri has beendoing for some months. The managers let him try the experiment, and he rushed down the long slide easily and gracefully, swimming ashore after he struck the water. Emil Markeberg made a balloon ascen- sion and landed with his parachute in the park on the main driveway. Brown will repeat his bicycle perform- ances this afternoon and evening, when the schoolchildren of San Francisco and Qakland will again be the guests of the management. R — Great Tug-of-War To-Day.

BEOE A PECULIAR DEATH. Miss Lyda Hill Dies, It Is Thought From Cerebral Hemorrhage. Miss Lyda Hill, 30 years of age, daugh- ter of McPherson Hill, died under peculiar circumstances in the Hotel Oliver last evening at 6 o’clock. Miss Hill was taken ill early yesterday morning. She complained of acute pains in her head, and Dr. Herzstein was sum- moned. The physician was puzzled at several peculiar features of the case, and callea Drs. Howard, Glazier ard Corbett in consultation. Z All remedies that usually give relief in cases of acute headache and congestion were administered, but without result, and the patient succumbed in the evening. Owing to the strange phases of the case it was reported to the Coroner. Although the physicians agree in the belief that death was due to cerebral hemorrhage, an autopsy in order to corroborate that diag- nosis will be held. ——————— Servian Society Election.
