Fisher’s Whereabouts Is Unknown- to His Friends. Disappeared cn a Bicyc'e — A Few Years Ago He Squandered a F rtune. Luman S. Fisher, a young man formerly | in the employ of Hooker & Co., on | Drumm street, and a resident at the In- | | ternational Hotel, has been missing now | | be was & good thing and people worked for sixteen days and no one of his daily | acquaintances knows where he isor why | | he aisappeared. Fisher was emvployed six years ago by the old firm of Truman & Hooker. He fell heir to $20,000 and quit work. Two years ago he had spent all the money. He then applied to his former employers for work and wgs given his old place. Latterly he- has been short of money, though neither debt nor disgrace seems to ha ve figured as a possible cause for his suaden and inexplicable disappearance. On January 6 he left the store as usunal and af erward went to_his room in the International Hotel. Hesoon came down- etairs in a bicycle suit, mounted his wheel and rode off, whither none but he can teil. He left his belongings in the room undisturbed and among them was his street suit, for which he had substituted his cycle attire. He owed only a part of a week’s board at the hotel when he left and there seems to have been no other bills to embarrass him. My opinion is that Fisher just struck out for some new place, where he could leave his iollies behind htm,” said one of the missing man’s fellow-employes who was again making inquiries about him last night. “Fisher was a quiet, gecretive sort of fellow. He is all siraight ut the store, I think there are a few dollars He couldn’t bave had much money when he leit; not over $10, perhaps. Idon’t think he has committed | suicide or done anything like that, “He has a brother who lives at 8an Ari- | selmo, but the brother dces not seem to worry much over the disappearance. He taken care of his property. “They used to room together when the one whno is missing began spending his money at the rate of from $600 to $700 a month, and the brother couidn’t for the Iife ot bim find out what he was spending iton. “I'hink that when he got the money | bim. Now when he has had time to think it over, he has conciuded to skip and get into some place where he can be- gin all over again. “He is, I should think, between 27 and 28 years old, about 5 feet 10 inches tall, is slightly built and has a smooth face. His bair is full and of & dark auburn.” —_——— M'LEOD IS OHARGED. A Coroner's Jury Says He Hastened His Wife’s Leath, In the inquest over Mrs. Elizabeth Me- Leod yesterday the Coroner’s jury cen- sured her husband and recommended that he be held for manslaughter. Mrs, McLeod died suddenly on Tuesday night after a violent quarrel with her hus- band, who had choked her. The verdict, however, was that heart disease cause the death. The one thing that first caused McLeod’s arrest was the woman’s dying statement. Orying, “He has killed me!” the woman expired almost immeaiately. Dr. Morgan swore that the woman died of pericarditis and degeneration .of the b but the jury . thought the husband's assault has. tened it, and the verdict so stated. ————————— Postponed Concert.

Consideration of Judicial Reform by the Bar Assccia- tion, Sections Eleven and Twelve cf the Proposed Constitutional Amend- ment Revised The San Francisco Bar Association de- voted three hours yesterday to a consider- ation and revision of the proposed consti- tutional amendment in judicial reform, which it intends to submit to the Legis- lature at the earliest possible moment. So keen were the debates on mooted propositions and the interest in the gen- eral subject that it was found impracti- cable to take up any more of the proposed amendment for consideration and possi- ble revision than sections 11 and 12. Section 11, as reported by the commit- tee, read as follows: No judgment or order shall be revised, mod- ified ‘or set aside, nor shail any new trial .be granted by any appellate court for ary error | in any other court, unless it shall appear that if thai error had not been committed the judgment or order must necessarily have been different. As amended this section is almost ex- actly in the language of section 475 of the Code of Civil Procedure. It is asfollows: Courts must in every stage of an action dis- regard auy error or defect in the pieadings or proceedings, or in the course of & trial or motion for & new triai, which does not affect the substaniial rights of the parties. A new {ndgment or order shall be reversed or affected y reason of any such error or defect. When section 12 came up for considera- tion Attorney W. S. Guodieliow moved that both be ‘stricken out. Ha assigned no reason therefor and the motion failed to carry. Dr. Edward R. Taylor made an !lcque}}u e believed that Judges frequently go to sleep over lengthy briefs and do not take due cognizance of vital points, and that in addilion oral argument was necessary to bring out the fine points of a case. He was seconded_in another forceful speech by Attorney John A. Wright. Certain minor alterations were made in | Dr. Taylor's revision of the section, and the report banded in by the committee was amended 88 follows, in which form it will go before the Legisiature: Every cause and matter in the Supreme Court or any District Court of Appeal (except such applications as may be mude ex-parie) shall be oraily argued in ope.. court, aud no cause or matter in said court [(except ex-parte applications as atoresaid) shail be presented, cousidered or decided, upon printed or written arguments; but tois snall not prevent the requiring that the points to be onsidered, togetoer with the list to sustain such points, shall be printed and filed betore & cause is taken up for .Aargument. A.ter ten causes Oor matiers have been argued and submitted for decision 1o other cause or matter (except ex-parte applica- tions) snail be laken up by the same court unul each of said causes and matters hes been decided. In rendering fudgment each of the Justices of the said couris who bLas heard the eause or matter adjudged shall separately, in open court, pronoutce his iadividual decision and give his reasons therefor,and the same shall be reported by the phonographic reporter of the court, and a transcripi preserved in the records of the court; but this shallnot pre- | vent any of the Justices frym preparing his decision in writing before delivering the snme or from 0 editing the phonograpaic or other report thereof as to render ine same more clear. A remittitur or mandate must issue upon every judgment of said court on or be- fore the expiration of thirty days after the entry thersof; but the court shall have power to authorize a mandate or remitlitur (o issue after the expiration of that period in cases where without deceptive or fraudulent intent on the partof the person in whose {avor the judement was rendered the mandate or remit- titur had not theretofore issned. An adjournment was taker till 1p. M. to-day, when other sections will be consid- ered. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR WORK. Great Progress Made by the Committee T his W eek.

ALL HALLOWS' NEW BELL IN PLACE It Was Solemnly Blessed Before a Large Con- gregation. Will Call Parishicners to Prayer in South San Fran- cisco. Was Hcisted to Its Position in the Tower Luring the Past Week. All Hallows' Church, Boath San Fran- cisco, has been furnished with a great bell, whichk will probaoly be heard for the first time to-morrow. The parishioners of that large parish are pleased over the acqu sition, the mellow tones of which will hereaiter summon them to worship. It is a fine specimen of musical-toned vell, of proportions that appeur remark- ably large in All Hallows' Church. 1lts weight 18 1800 pounds, its design graceful, and on the rim is the inscription, “Gloria in Excelsts Deo.” During the week it was raised to the tower. Last Sunday the ceremony of blessing the bell was periormed in the presence of a large congregation. The bell hung from a stand in front of the aliar, where it was wreathed in gariands of smilux., The Rev. P. J. Cummins of St. Charles parish officiated at the impressive cere- monies, sssisted by Rev. M. P. Ryan of St. brigid's Church and Rev. Juseph Me- vin of All Hallows’. Revs. Philip O'Ryan, Johp Cullen, P. A. Foley and M. D. Con- noliy were present throughout the service, Cornelius Buckiey and Miss Blanche Ma- guire were the sponsors. The blessing began with the chanting of psaims, aiter Which Father Cummins washed the bell inside and outside, in which he was followed by the assistant priests. Then t e bell was ancinted witb holy oils seven times on the outside and four times inside, while prayers of dedication were said. At last the object of sanctification was enveloped in a cloud of incense. After the biessing Futher Cummins addressed the congregation and ex isined the ceremonies. 'We usually assemble in church to assist at the preat sacrifice of the mass,” he said, “to listen to the preaching of God’s word, or at the close of the day to receive the benediction of the most blessed sacrament. It is seldom that a congrega- tion assembies to.as: used in public or private worshi blessed by the church; our sacred edifice: vesiments, holy water, sacred vessels, are all blessed. Buill it is seldom that we gather at church to witness any of the ceremonials incidental to tHe blessing of these things. The blessing of u bell, how- ever, is a matter of great importance and the ceremonies attendant upon it are a most as impressive and as solemn as tho: used in the dedication of a new church. “The reason that the church attaches so much importance to this ceremony is ap- parent. For the bell forms an important factor in her devotions. It may be justly considerea and looked upon as the voice of the Baptist crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make | straight his paths.’ “Each succeeding day, morning, noon and night it brings to our minds _the great mystery of the Lncarna- tion. But at other times in measured ‘tones it tolls for the dead, reminding us that we, too, must some day die, and ad- monishing us, as it were, to prepare for ourend. So we see that the bell ha- its fixed place in divine worship. 1t reminds us of some duty to perform, and thus we readily perceive why it is that so much importance 1s attached 1o the blessing of it by the church,” In describing the ceremony he said: “The beil was washed to show us the purity of soul which those shouid have who preach the word of God as well as those who receive it. Also to teach u«in a far higher de_ree that the praises of God should only come from pure hearts and clean lips. The bell is anointed seven times on the outside embiematic of the seven gifts of the H ly Ghost and four times on the inside to show that the teachings of Cnrist are to be conveyed to the-four points of the compass.’’ Benediction of the biessed sacrament was held. Weble's “Alma” was rendared by he choir, Professor 8. J. Sandy, Mrs. A. Troy and Miss Verdi Gilmore taking the solo parts. Thomas’ “O Salutatis” and Geibel’s “Tantum Ergo” were eiven by Mrs. A. Troy, Misses Grace McGuire and Verdi Gilmore, Misses Bre Peguiilan, Blanche McGuire, Josie Gilmore and May Mealey, D. W. Ervin, J. H. Widman, E. Latapie, Messrs. Pontacq and Blaise.

Houses, Stabes and Barns E:- tered During the Early Morning Hours. A Man B aten Into Ins;nsibili(y and His Wife Asszu «d During the Twilizht. ‘Within the past week the Potrero has been visited by two desperate, bold men, who so far have succeeded in keeping out of the reach of the police of that section of the City. The first appearance of those two dering men was on Friday, tke 13th inst. When Mr. and Mr:, Fiorence Augustine, who live al 57 Seventh avenue, were re- turning to their home on Railroad and Second avenues, near Butchertown, at 7 o'cleck 1n the evening, they were met by two men aged about 25 ycars, who walked close behind them until the outskirts of Butchertown were passed., Then one of them dealt Mr. Augustine astanning blow on the bead from bebind, which rendered him unconsc ous for the t:me being. Im- mediately thereafter Mrs. Augustine was seized by the pair of ruffians and hurried some distance from where her husband lay on the sidewalk and brutally assaulted by both men, after which they took their departure. The nexi heard from supposedly the same young men was on last Monday, the 18th, when Thomas O’ Toole’s room at the Continental Hotel was entered during the night and all his clothing stolen. ~ A iew niguts subsequently the residence of Mr. Roverts at 335 Mississippi street was vis ted by two young men on horse- back at 8 o'clock in the moerning. The men ‘answered the desc iption of those who assauited Mrs. Augustine. They forcibly entered the barn and stole seven- ty-five grainsacks, all that, fortunately for Roberts, was in the building at the time. The next mark left by these two indus- trious men—or, at least, the men supposed to be them, was on the morning of the 19th, when Thomas Strahan’s premises were visited and his stable door forced open and & bugey-robe and a set of har- ness taken. T es- depredations proved to be only byplays for the night visicors ascom- pared with later discoveries. On the night of Wednesday, the 20th, they en- tered the Olympic Hotel, about a hundreda yards from the lice station, kept by homas Small. There the burglars car- ried off everything of any valuein the shape of jewelry and silverware, the total value of which amounts to about $400. A complete inventory of the property is in the custody of the Chief of Police. In this daring act they were observed by Officer H. G. Clancy at 8 o’clock in the morning as they emerged from the hotel loaded down with the stolen goods. but they paia no attention to the com- mand, but started on a run in the shade of some freightcars_standing on Illinois street. Clancy fired & shot in the direc- tion in which they were going. This was answered by a return compliment of the same character... The officer continued the fire juntil he had emptied his revolver. The burglars in the meantime increased their speed until they reached the end of Kentucky street where it intersects Fourth. “Here they ot in the snelter of the lumber, and thus baffled the pursuit and eventually escaped with their plunder. en or where they wiil next report for night dutv in that section is just what is annoying Lievtenant George Bennect of the Southern station, who is considered one of the best thief-catcherson the police force. However this may be, he has suc- ceeded in riddiny the sou'hern section of the rough gang that infested it previous to_his going there, and should the two industrious young gentlemen run across his path their labors in this direction will be chanced for the more profitable one to the State of making jute bags. COMPETITION BY TELEPHONE. Fetition to Tak~ Away the Franchise of the People’s Mutual Company. Heram de Laguna appeared before the Judiciary Committee of the Board of Su- pervisors yesterday afternoon to ask for a recommendation for the repeal of the franchise granted by the old board to the Feovple’s Mutual Telephone Company to erect poles, stretch wires and carry on the telephone business in th:s City. The peti- tion was strongly opposed by James L. Crittenden, one of the principal movers in the People’s Mutual Telephone Company. In fact, Mr. Critt-nden announce. that if any steps should be taken to repeal the franchise to his company the City would be found to b= adefendant litigant. He con- tended that the Supervisors have nothing to do with deternnning now whether the franchise is valid for any reason. It had been granted, the bond had been duly ap- proved after examination and approval by the City and County Attorney and the money bid for the franchise has been de- posited and remains in the City and County treasury. If the commiltee failed to make any recommendation those who are seeking the repeal of the franchise can bring the matter into court, where all questions can be determined. That would leave the City and County fiee irom lia- bility. The committee took the petition under advisement. TALKED OF OHILD STUDY.
