G llespie andJ. A J.bnsoa Are Victims. The Populist County Committee met last night at 91534 Market street, ana pro- ceeled to clear 1tself of the ‘‘stigma” clinging to its skirts as a result of the fusion during the last campaign with Boss Buckley. The political batchet was out of its sheath and whetted to a razor edge in an- ticipation of the execution to come. The execution came. And now E. 8. Barney, Dr. George W. Daywalt, Taylor Rogers, George D. Gillespie, I, V. Cator, Joseph Ashbury Johnson, John C. Gore and other well-known leaders are no more—that is, as bright lights shedding their luster over the People’s party. Mr. Barney complained bitterly that it was & “slate” and a *deep-laid scheme,” and the evidence was so conclusiveiy in favor of Mr. Barney’s proposition regard- ing the siate at least that the rest only smiled and “said never a word.” Mr. Johnson expressed his sorrow that the parties had gone into the hands of | such an element and washea his hands of the whole business. Dr. Daywalt expressed his disgust. at the way things were going some time ago and ceased to trouble himself turther. Taylor Rozers’ and Cator's names were withdrawn as candidates for the execu- tive committee by the men that nomi- nated them before the balloting began. They evidently had been made aware of what was coming to pass. Prominent in the ranks of the winners was Burnette G. Haskell, the famous founder of the Kaweah Colony and the manipulator of tue slate, which was car- | ried through with one exception. The slate as prepared in Haskell’s office was as follows: Chairman, Lewis; vice-chairman, Anthony; | secretary, C. Li. Johnson; financial secretary, Tingman;_trustees—W. J. Grier, J. M. Rey notds, W. H. Goff; executive committee—Rey- noids. Goff, Hatch, Adam, Haskell, Grier, Liv- ingood, Anthony, Porter, Griswold, Fletcner, Ray, Dunham, Morton Howard, C. D. Rodgers, | B. J! Pye, Peck, H. J. Hoey; librarian, Gris: wold. The slate was carr'ed through with one exception. In the trustees, an unimpor- tant position, J. D. Thompson was elected | :ead of J. M. Reynolds. Reynolds and | iswold tied on the executive commitiee, and the tie will be decided at a meetine to be heid next Saturday evening at 9153 | Market street. In tue opinions of most intelligent Pop- nlists this means the disintegraiion of the Populists in :bis city. Gore was ranning for financial secretary. His confidence that he would win and thns become an ex-officio member of the executive com- mittee caused him to lose both pesitions. HATCHE HAD COURAGE. He Called Bourke Cockran to Time in Feariess Style, A story is told that illustrates the per- sonal courage of the late ex-Congressman W. H. Hatch. One afternoon the Hou e Democrats heid a caucus on the tariff. It was about 5 in the aiternoon. Hatch en- tered the hall while Bourke Cockran was giving bis Demccratic colleagues a tre- mendous lecture because they Irad not come up to his notions in their tariff atti- tude. No sooner had Cockran taken his seat than Hatch claimed the floorand be- gan a personal and very pointed attack on Cockran for presuminF o criticisa the | House Demncracy when he (Cockran) had been absent from the sessions fully nine. teen days out of every twenty. Haten wrathiully turled back Cockran’s criti- cisms in that statesman’s teeth. ~Don’t you dare lay your strictures upon me,” said Hatch, “nor attempt the airs of a Bowery buily ip my case. I will not stand it for a moment.” Cockran, who had been listening to Hatch in high dudgeon, sprang from his seht at this, and started in the most threat- ening fashion down the middle sisle of the House, presumably to get at Hatch. The high-spirited Westerner did not waste | a second. Somewhat to Cockran’s dismay Hatch started for bim. At the sight of ail this prompt valor on Hatch's part, Cock- ran came to a full stop and sat down in the nearest seat. By this time other states- men had headed off Haich. “That's aii right,” said Hatch to the half-dozen mem bers who were expostulat- ing witi him; “tarn the gentleman loose. Lheard him give that Bowery war yell of his and start for me, and that is all thatis necessary in my case. I'll allow no geu- tleman to wear out his shoes hunting for me. I’ll save him all I can, and will go as far toward him as he will come toward Ly Hatch was finally quieted by his col- leagues and walked away to his seat.— Brookiyn Eagle. —_——— To Drive or Not to Drive, Roberts—Hellol What's wrong, old fel- low?

Roberts—What does it say. Benson—Simpiy *“Yes.”—Answers, WAS MADDEN BY ABSINTHE Frank H. Brockman At- tempted Murder and Committed Suicide. His Intended V.ctim Escaped With a Slight Wound. No Rrason for His Deeds Excepting the Vicious Effects of the Tricky Liquor. Crazed with absinthe and in the reck- lessness of debauch, Frank H. Brockman, a well-known young man, sent a bullet crashing through the jaw of Marguerite Hollis early yesterday morning, and then before the alarm could be given, aimed the revolver at his own head and ended his life. The motive, if motive there was in the rero street. He has a brother who isa Terri- postmaster in Oklahoma, to which tory the remains will be sent for burial. —— MET IN COLLISION. Inquiry Into a Clash Eetween Two Sacramento River Steamers. The United States local insrectors of steam vessels began on inquiry yesterday into ti-e cause ol the collision of tbe river steamers Knight No. 2 and Mngoc, on the Sacramen* River on the morning of De- cember 2. The Knight was towing a barge. Both vessels were considerably damaged by the shock. John Taggart, the chief engineer of the Knight, testified thal the weather was thick and his whistle was being blown fre- quently. Hedid not see the Modoc until it was,within twenty feet. After the col- lision the Modoc took the other’s barge to Sacramento. The Knight was iully stopped when the two vessels struck eacu o:her. Thomas H. Price, the master of the Knight, testified that he was whistling along the river so as to warn all boats of the approach of the sieamer and her tow. Just before he sighted the Modoc the barge sheared in the current and pulled his steamer to port out of the chaunel. Just ihen the Modoc's lights were seen. He suid he was unable to straighten his boat in iime. The Modoc struck the Kuight No. 2 on the starboard side and pushed her onto the bank, where the cripoled steamer settled. A large hole was cut into her side, extending below the water line. E. 8. Fouratt was in charge of the Modoc at the time. The boat was running on a slow bell, as the weather was foggy. hen the Knight was sighted she was making ucross the Modoc’s bow. He ordered the Frank H. Brockman, Who While Under the Influence of Absinthe, Attempted to Murder Marguerite Hollis and Then Committed Suicide. NOSE MRD OSE AT THE FNSH Gallant and Morte Fonso Run a Dead Heat at Ingleside. Honig’s Fast Zamar II Captured the Hand:cap in a Com- mon Canter., —_— An Easy Win for Sa vab'e—Governor Budd First in the Hurdle Event. Ru:nart’s Numb r Hoisted. In comparison with the 1mmense crowd present at the races on New Year's day the attendance at Ingleside yesterday looked small, though tue usual Saturday racegoing set were all present. Eighteen pencilers doing business in the ring found no lack of coin. The track was again a trifle deep and heavy, which precluded the idea of any fast time being registered. The track continues adding to its phenomenal long list of winning favorites. Of the six events run off the favored ones in the betting showed the advantage in four. Willie Martin piloted two of the winners, For the first time in many years two horses finished so closely together that the judges were unable to separate them, and declared a dead heat. Tom Griffin’s Morte fonse and A. B. Spreckels’ Gallant wWere the ones so closely matched. They were starters in the last race of the day, a mile and a sixteenth selling affair, lor which Thornh:ll at 13 to 5 ruled a slight favorite in the betting. Doctor G and Thornhill showed the way into the streich, where the Doctor fell back and Gallant and Morte Fonse closed on the bald-faced leader. In a grueliing drive Thornhill 1n the middle was beaten half a length, with the other two finishing noses on ihe wire. Their owners agreed to split the purse, which decision appeared satis- factory to all. Ruinart, with *‘bad actor’” opposite his name on the programme, was an even- money favorite for the opening mile run, and taking the lead from Flasulight in the stretch won easily from that horse by three lengths.. Fifteen to one was laid against Flashlight. From his performance in the seven-for- long spin for three-year-olds, Caspar is far from being a top-notcher. Held at odds of 1110 20 in the ring, be was easily out- footed the last quarter of the journey by Good Times and downéd haif alength. H. Martin on Estaca came through next the rail on entering the stretch, and this undoubtedly cost that colt the place, as the going wWas very heavy. M. Clicauot showed speed at the beginning. The winner was 414 to 1 in the betting. The handicap over seven furlongs went to the 3102 choice, Zamar IL Carrying 1104 pounds Hounig's gelding led from the ouiset, winning very easily in 1:16}4. Pat Murpby with 87 pounds up secured the place by a head trom Peril. 8ir Play was acts, has not yet been ascertained. From Brockman’s habits and his demeanor pre- vious to the tragedy, it seems probable that the idea of murder and suicide was inspired only by the liquor. The exact circumstances of th: aftair may never be known, as the scene of the shooting wasa bagnio. Brockman, who was a clerk for Miliar & Simpson, tearchers of records, had been drinking heavily for some time. Of late he had become an absinthe drinker, and his friends say he would swallow a whisky glass full of absinthe at ore gulp. He realized the hopelessness of his condition and endeavored many times to reform. Recently he attempted to enter the navy, but was rejected on account of a slight physical defect. On New Year's day he bade some of his friends good-by, saying he was going to take a trinabroad to over- come his pernicious appetite. He was under the influence of hquor then. His friends took Jittle notice of his words. Friday evening, in company with three women, he entered the Waverly saloon, at 44 McAllister street, of which J. 8. Mack- intosh is proprietor. He was, according to Mackinto:h, drunk and quarrelsome, and in order to ayoid trouble the saloon- keeper gave him drinks on credit. After remaimrg with his companions for some time Mackintosh induced him to leave, Again he returned, at 10 or 11 o’clock, still apparently lookiug for .roubie. There wera a number of persons of Loth sexes in the sitling-room of the saloon and with some of these, imcluding Marguerite Hol- lis, he had a speaking acquaintance, He entered into the conversation in a boister- ous manner, flourishing a revolver and making threats. Brockman was known as a “josher’” and his talk about what he couid do with a revolver occasioned no fear other than that the weapon would go off accidentaily. About 2 o’zlock, according to Mackin- tosh, Brockman left his Elace, and atter that nothing is known of his movements until the tragedy, which occurred a few minutes after 3 o’clock yesterday morning. At that time the Holils woman, who occupies one of the rooms over the saloon, came running to the room occupied by Mackintosh. “I am shot!" she cried, and the blood streaming from her face corroborated the story. Mickimash ran to her room and found Brockman lying on the bed with a wound in his head. apparently unconscious. The ambulance was hastily euinmoned and the pair were taken to the Receiving Hospital, only about 200 yards distant. An examimation showed that a bullet had ¢n- tered the right side of Brockman’s jaw and had lodeed in the brain. He aied about 10 o’clock yesterday morning with- out having made any siatement. . The woman’s injury was not so serious. Her mouth was evidently open when the shot tnat struck her was fired, for it first came in contact with the interior of her jaw. About the time Brockman died she was aliowed to go to her room. Here she remained until afternoon, her companions declaring to the Morgue officials that she had gone away, where they did not know. In the afternoon she wastaken to the City and County Hospital. % Before leaving the Receiving Hospital she zave a briei statement of the affair. She saia Hollis entered her room about 2:30 o'clock and commenced brandishing a revolver, saying that he was going to shoot her. Ste thought be was joking, but begged him to put up his gun. " While she was thus entreating bim he fired. As she ran from the room she heard the sec- ond shot. Brockman is not known to have been intimate with the woman whose life he attempted. He knew her as he knew many other women of ber class, but his friends and Mackintosh deny that Brock- man hal any rarticular care for her. ‘he deceased was bora in this City and was 20 years of age.

AMERICAN PLANOBSOLETE The Big Eastern Hotels Have Nearly All Discontinued It for the Grill. Why the Changes Wers Made at the Baldwin—Abbut $50,000 Spznt in a Year. The changes in the Baldwin Hotel aroused interest about the City yesterday. The opening of the griliroom recently and the closing of the American dining- room hasalready been alluded to. Messrs. Stone and Asher of t'e hotel said last night, however, that there was a misap- prehension in regard to the reason for the changes. g “Since a year ago last October, when we took hold of the hotel,” said one of the gentlemen, “‘there has been $50,000 spent. it, and $35,000 of this has been during the last three months, on the griliroom and in other ways. Weclosed the Ameri- can plan because it 1s no longer modern. “The big hotels in the East have dis- continuea the American plan and have found that the grill and restaurant suit their patrons far better. We gan now not only accommodate all the gdests without the” American plan, but can serve any number from the outside. We have also retained all our upstairs employes, as we needed them below for the guests that now go to the grillroom and restaurant. *“*Mr. Glaze, who has succeeded Mr. Clough, receives exactly the same pay for his services as he did. We are not econo- mizing there, nor anywkere. In fact, 1f we can just go alonz and make as much money propor ionately for the year as we have during the last two days, we will have plenty of money, “I went East some time ago,’” said Mr. Stone, *‘and spent a geod while examining the various big hotels and seeing the pro- prietors. They all told me that 1 shouid close up the American plan, that they had” all done so and found it worked admi- rably. I have found out the same thing, 100, already, but we are very glad we made the change. It has paid. By the way, Mr. Clough was at no time manager, but head clerk. That is the position Mr, Glaze has. s . — .. A Bad Error, Magistrate—The gamekeeper declares that he saw you taking his pheasant. What have you to say to that? Prisoner—I only took. it for a lark.
