The remark was called forth when the complaining witness, Attorney D. B. Woodworth, reminded the court that he had asked the privilege of bringing wit- nesses for the prosecution, although rest- ing his case. % | Itwas at first agreed to continue the case till Tuesday afternoon, but Attorney Jordan, after comsuitng with G. W. Owen, who now lives in Santa Orug, 1 is evidence might be taken, and he took the stand as a witness for the defense. Owen t AR estified to being in Rev. Donald ¢’ house in the beginning of Aopril, 189, with H. K. Marshall, when Wood- worzh called, and Ross introducea Wood- worth to Owen as the great poiitical wire- puiler for the Canadian Government. Where Reiley Fell and Was Found Groaning in Agony Hours Later elimbed a hi Academy of Science building and fell into = light well at the other side fully twenty feet from the top. Early in the morning his mosns wers | heard by the janitor of the Pioneer buiid- ing, who bent his efforts to release Reiley. And now the hapless seaman is lying low at the Receiving Hospital suffering from internal injuries. How he came to tbat wail or how he climbed it and fell over puzzled him tremendousiy yesterday. The only way ke can account for his accident is he walked in his sleep. had Wednesday ashore and spent the day \ convivial friends and the flowing bowl. There was considerable fuss over Reiley, who was aeclared a burglar and all sorts of a desperado, with designs on the mu- seum. A. E. Fisber, janitor ot the Acad- emy building, insisted that tbe uniortu- nate fellow was dangerous. *I was told by the Pioneer peovle that a man was moaning at the bottom of the alley,” he | said, “but 1did not want to touch him till ‘the police came along. Then we got him out with a ladder and sent him to the hospital.” To all appearances Reiley wandered into Pioneer court, off Fourth street and b een the Flood and Pioneer buildings. the end of the courtisa wall ten feet ,inside of which i8 a narrow space used as a light well by the Academy of nces building lower foor. When Reiley encountered the wall his | yes fell upon an electrician’s ladder henging upon a peg and chained flat | against the wall. Iu his rather mixed | condition itseems he thought he was in | the hold of & steamer, and he climbed up on deck on the straight ladder. The deck was the coping of the wall, buta heavy sea was rolling as the sailor’s foot touched the rail and Reiley went overboard. It was either that way or he walked in his sleep, because he the mishap was a blank in his memory. About 7 A. M. his cries of pain attracted attention and two policemen took Reiley out to the Receiving Hospital, where it was. found he had received internal in- juries. His hands were eviaence enough to prove that he was a hard working fel- Jow, and his clothes showed the nature of his occupation. So the police concluded it could not have been a czse of attempted burglary. 1t was the evil result of waik- in.in one's sleep. Reiley's sleep cost $2 which he got from the captain of the | | Newshoy Wednesday afternoon. | | IT§ WORK FOR CHARITY, Anpual Meeting and Reports of the Israslitischer Frauen Verein, At the meeting of the Israelitischer Frauen Verein the following officers were elected: President, Mrs. J. 8.

Much interest was manifested in the meeting. The church was crowded, many of those presentcoming from Oak- land, Alameda and Berkeley. Early in the evening the Junior League | held its convention. A. C. Stevens pre- sided. This part of the programme was opened with a praise service by Louis Paltenghi, whicn was followed with prayer by Mrs. H. L Benson. Rev. G. R. Stanly gave a Beripture reading, ' after which short reports on the league’s prog- ress were made by the junior superin- tendent. L. J. Norton of the board of control de- livered a brief address. He said that this was the important time to catch the young people while they were in the formative period. He also urged his hearers not to sit dly by ana see the chil- dren leave paths of righteousness, and then at last endeavor to bring them back ; but to foster in them the good and true and build them up for work in the church and in the world. The junior service was concluded with an address by Rev. George W, Beatty of Oskland. Later the alliance assembled with R. D. Beals in the chair. Bishop J. P. Newman wa= on the platfornr su:rounded with pastors and active officers of ‘the league. The meeting was opened with a song by the congregation, after which Rev. W. S. Urmv pronounced a prayer. There was Scripture reading by Rey. M. C. Har- ris, followed by a song, “When the Roll Is Calied Up Yonder.” Reading of annual reports of officers oc- cupred the alliance for some time. These reports showeda a general growth in the work and in the number of members. The membership of the alliance was about 1700. Finances were in a flourishing con- dition. Officers for the ensuing year were elect- ed as follows: R. D. Beals, president; A. C. Stevens, vice-president; Mrs. H. L Benson, second vice-preside: W. W. Kelly, third vice-president; George Ja- cobs, fourth vice-president; M. V. Donald- son, secretary; A. Wistrand, treasurer; Louis Paltenghi, chorister. The Chinese Quartet gave selections of hymns which interested the andience. Bishop Newman spoke about the Ep- worth League. In opening be said he ad- vised with Dr. Clark, the founder of the league, regarding its formation and as- | sisted in its establishment in 1885. This was in Cleveland, Ohio, as the outgrowth of five or six different young peop'e’s societies in the church. Now the l-ague has a total membership of 1,500,000 and 21,000 branches. The depariments of the league were taken up. The first vice-president attended to the spiritual department, the second bad charge of the mercy and help work, the third was occu- pied with the literature of the league, and the fourth with social matters. Bishop Newman said he was glad that the leagne had that feature. Ctristianity recognizes social life; Christ came into the world to bring joy and gladness, and he every- where recognizes man’s social nature, Mrs. Ella Baird-Wescotf sang, and Rev. J. W. Fhelps led a pentecostal service. The convention closed with benediction by Rev. D. W. Chilson. Sehool Department Deficit.

It Recalls Lofty Heroism Dis- played During a Scourge of Cholera, At the Central Methodist Church yes- terday afternoon Mrs. Newman, the wife of Bishop Newman, who was his com- panion in the three years that he spent abroad visiting and becoming enlightened as to foreign missions, was introduced to and addressed a large audience, First of all the Women’s Home Missionary Sc- ciety, whose annual meeting it was,d is- cussed and dispensed with reports and business connected with their society. Mrs, Newman then spoke. She said that she had traveled exten- sively in foreign fields for the past three years and had come in contact with peo- ple of all denominations. She described tke island upon which St. John was imprisoned, and spoke of Mo- rocco, Buigaria and Italy. Mrs. Newman then entered into a description of the Metnodist Deaconesses’ Home, a most magnificent place situated on the hill just outside of Hamburg, which cost $150,000 to build and which is surrounded by fine rounds. It was built and donated to the ethodist deaconesses 1n apprecigtion of their courage in caring or those who were afflicted with th- cholera scourge that broke over Germany three or four years ago. Mrs. Newman held her audience in rapt attention. efreshments were served later and a general social time followed. Mrs. Kerrison Demands Damages. Mrs. Annie M. Kerrison and Robert J.

MRS, NEWMAN, Wife of Bishop Newman, Addressing an Audience in Central Methodist Church on the Subject of “Foreign Missions.” THIRD STREET T0 BE MUCH IMPROVED Electric-Light Movement Is to Bring About Reform. More Bitumen Pavement and Some Big Buildings Con- templated. Third street, from Harrison to Mission, is to be lighted within teu days by arc lights suspended midway of the thorough- fare, and other material improvements are promised. But the few blocks of lights will be only the beginningof the system very soon to extend the entire length of Third street, from the very busi- ness center of the City at’ newspaper cor- ners to the railroad station. Committees ure at work canvassing the vroperty-owners to obtain their co-opera- tion in the enterprise that is calculated toenhance the value of property, and at the same time make the street more at- tractive to storekeepers, who, under other circumsiances, might_move mto thor- oughfares already enlivened by electric lights. Itis a movement with which the prop- erty-owners generally are in hearty ac- cord. They look upon it in a wayasa rofitable ‘and a necessary investment. 'hey do not think that the storekeepers that are merely tenants suould be asked to maintain the improvement that is cal- culated to put thestreet in line with other progressive streetsthat have already made | improvements that may attract storekeep- ers to locate in them. The project was originally suggested pearly a month ago by Hugo Keil, one of the directors of the Merchants’ Associa- tion and himself a property-owner on Third street. A general commiitee con- sisting of James O'Dwyer, Joseph Silver- man, Rienzi Hughes and Katchinski then undertook the work of canvassing among the property-owners and with gratifying results, Then when the success of the undertaking began to be assured the other parties to the movement placed matters in the handsof Messrs. Silverman and Hughes, who have during the last few days been actively engaged in the work. This committee, discussing the subject yesterday, said: “The lighting of Third street has become a necessity. Other streets have put in arc lights and we must keep our tenants. “With the Southern Pacific Railroad depot already at one end of the street and a strong grombilixy of the terminus of the San Joaquin Vailey road being there also, Third street wiil naturally have | the travel to the center of the City. Since we have been among the property-owners and taiked the subject over with them we have found out that quite a number of property-owners intend soon to put up ' some new buildings and better houses on the street. We were assured by one prop- erty-owner that he intends 1o erect an eight-story building between Mission and Howard streets. Another means to build | a large modern hotel between Howard and | 'olsom streets. | “It all shows that the proper interest is | being aroused to the prospects of the street. An effort is soon to be made to have bitumen laid from Howard str to | Folsom. 1t is already laid from Market | to Howaru. When that is done we wili | have a boulevard with electric cars and electric liphts and beiter buildings where before there were none of these things.” A special sub-committee was appointed yesterday to work on. the block between Market and Mission streets, where alone three property-owners are not imme- diately in favor of the lights. The com- mittee consists of Messrs. Becker, Nichols aud Katchinski. ARRANGING THE CARNIVAL Bicyelists Will Have a Day and Will Make an Unusual Show- ing. The carnival committee met again last night at tne Cahfornia Hotel and were busy with the consideration of numerous details relative to the proposed carnival. Others interested in the carnival were also present. General Warfield and others sub- mitted what was considered advantageous as features of the carnival. There was a good attendance of persons interested in making a showing for the wheel on thg day that is to be de- voted mainjy to the cyclers. A number of opinlons were submitted as to the best way to make the bicycle feature of the car- nival a success, It isthe intention to get out all the wheelmen of this and sur- rounding cities. The committee is still working on the general details of the carnival am will be 80 engaged no doubt during s number of future meetings. The interest last night was general. —————— Mrs. Brown Wants Her Child. Mrs. Emma M.
