4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL MONDAY; JANUARY 25, 189 SPENT A FORTUNE N OCEAN TRAVEL Death of an 0ld Lady Who Was Infatuated With Salt Water. Had Crossed the Atlantic Two Hundred and Fifty Times in Thirty Years. Never Missed a Trip on the Lucania and Was Known by the Astors and Vanderbilts. OHIOAGO, Irw, Jan. 24.—Elijah Car- son, 8 most remarkable woman, died Fri- day night at Alamosa, lowa. Mrs, Carson had crossed the ocean 250 times and possessed the extroardinary record of never having missed a trip on the Lucania since that splendid vessel was launched. For thirty years she has been traveling across the Atlantic until her face has be- come a familiar one, not only to the of- ficers of the vessels of the Cunard line, but to the custom-house officials on both sides of the Atlantic. Bhe issaid to have been received on intimate terms by the Astors ana Vanderbilts and other prominent families of the country who had long been accustomed to meeting her on her trips across the sea, and Patti, the prima donna, had the strongest likihg for Mrs. Carson. Mrs. Carson was the wife of Samuel Carson of Belfast. Her name was Newell before her marriage, and her brother, William B. Newell, was a millionaire of Nashville, Tenn. Shortly after the death of her husband, in 18 . Carson, ac- companied by her daughter Elizabeth, came to America to visit her brother. This was Mrs. Carson’s first ocean trip and was the bezinning of her infatuation for the sea. Mr. Newell prevailed upon her to remain in America and on his death bequeathed to her half a million dollars in cash and property. This formed an ample fund to permit the indulgence of her eccentric desire to be continually on the water. It was in the year 1866 that Mrs. Carson was first at liberty to follow her penchant. She left her young daughter in the hands of friends and took her second trip to Belfast. She returned in a few weeks, saw her child was in safe hands, and from that time until the day she was seized with her last illness a month seldom passed but she took a voyage across the Atlantic. In the year 1883 ner daughter was mar- ried to Julins Rohrbach, a traveling 1aan of Chicago. Mrs. Carson then felt that she had no more family ties which would restrain her from keeping continually on the ees, and since 1886 her entire time has been spent in her voyages. Mrs, Carson had the strongest affection for Captain McKay and all the officers of the Lucania and remembered them in her will. It is said Captain McKay wes be- queathed $50,000, and the subalterns sums proportionate to the esteem in which she neld them. The exact termsof the will, however, cannot be learned, as the docu- ment was filed at Belfast. Mrs. Carson was well knownin Chicago. About two years ago her son-in-law, Ju- lius Rohrbach, by the advice of his wife, made an effort to restrain Mrs. Carson from taking any more trips across the ocean. While she was stopping at the ho- tel here on avisit to her daughter, Mr. Rohrbach went before alocal court and asked for the appointment of a guardian, making the statement that Mrs. Carson had already spent $250,000 in her sea voy- ages, and that unless a stop was put on it her entire fortune would be spent. Mrs. Carson violently fought this legal move. In her vigorous mannershe an- nounced that she would submit to no re- straint, and that if her son-in-law dared to interfere with Ler liberty she would cut him off without a cent. This so alarmed Mr. Rohrbach and his wife that the pro- ceedings were dropped, and Mrs. Carson was permitted to resume her journey- ings. The incident, however, had made an impression on her mind, for on her next visit 1o Belfast she made and had placed on record a will, in which she gave but $1000 to her daughter, $25,000 each to her bankers at Belfast and her agent in New York City, and the remainder of her for- tune to the officers and crew of the Lu- cania. Mrs. Carsoa made herlast voyage across the Atlantic five weeks ago. On the trip out from Liverpool she was seized with an attack of pneumonia, and when the steamer reached New York she was fail- ing rapidly. Bhe was taken toa hotel, where she remained two days, when her daughter, Mrs. Rohrbach of Alamosa, Iowa, arrived and took her West. Mr. and Mrs. Ronrbach arrived this evening from Iowa with Mrs. Carson's body. They were on their way to Nash- ville, Tenn., where the interment will take place. Mrs. Carson was 74 years old. IFTENSELY COLD AFTER THESTORM [Conttnued from First Page.| venience was caused to pedestrians. From all over the city to-night came police re- ports of persons who had tallen on slip- pery sidewalks and been injured more or less severely. PITTSBURG, PA, Jan. 24.—The bliz- zard reached this city last night and with it came the heaviest fall of snow of the winter, more than six inches covering the ground to-day. The thermometer was 6 degrees above zero at 6 o’clock and fall- ing. ST. PAUL, Mxx., Jan. 24—No-night's reports from every part of the Northwest indicate that last night was the coldest in two winters. St. Paul, about the warmest point in this whole section, registered 25 below. The range was from that figure 10 30 below at St. Cloud, 36 below at Aitkin and 40 below at St. Hilaire. There are no reports in yet of people freezing to death, though suffering in the country must have been very great. The St. Paul Relief Society has been busy all day furnishing coal and other supplies to the needy. Indications point to a further drop in the temperature of at least ten degrees to- night. retarded, either by drifts or inability to keep up steam. Around Aberdeen, Huron, Milbank and Wilmot, 8. Dak., no effort has beem made for two days past to clear the tracks, owing to the very high winds, and the cuts are now fall to the brim. A Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul passenger train is stuck in a drift near Bonilla, 8. Dak. Fuel has been carried to the train to keep the passengers comfort- able. Another train containing $250,000 of the money of South Dakota is stuck in adrift near Highmore, S. Dak. Reports from points along the Missouri River in- dicate that there will be heavy mortality among cattle and sheep in that section. It is clear in Central and £astern Minne- sota and the wind has subsided. OMAHA, NEBR., Jan. 24.—This has been the coldest day Nebraska has experienced in twoyears. At many points the mer- cury registered 12 degrees below zero, and the warmest reported was 4 degrees below. A strong wind from the north made the cold seem more intense. The Missouri River is frozen over, and icemen, who had given up hope of a crop, will begin cutting to-morrow. Little snow has fallen in this section, and railway traffic is not inter- fered with. DENVER, Coro., Jan. 24— The cold wave struck this section at 5 o’clock ves- terday afternoon, and in less than an hour the thermometer fell 30 degrees ftom 50 to 20 above zero. Ten above is the mark registered at 8 o’clock to-night, with pros- pects of zero weather before morning. CLEVELAND, Omio, Jan. 24.—The thermometer at 8 P. M. registered 4 above zero, and before midnight the mer- cury had dropped to as many degrees be- low, with a continual downward tendency. The reports show that before morning it will reach 10 or 15 below. The streets are deserted to-night; the churches are empty, and numerous entertainments an- nounced in various balls and theaters had to be abandoned. The suffering among the poor is appalling. GRAND RAPIDS, Micr., Jan. 24.—The mercury to-night is 5 below zero, and is still falling. —_— BLIZZARD IN ENGLAND, Sheep and Cattle Die on Land and Fish- ermen Perish a: Sea. LONDON, Exc., Jan. 24.—The snow- storm which began on Friday continues, and is causing any amount of interrup- tion of travel and inconveniences. Many sheep and other animals have perished, and the losses sustained by farmers and others will be quite heavy. The snow is so deep between Hastings and Brighton that & number of trains have been blocked, an occurrence which is seldom heard of in that part of the country. The severe wind which accompanied the storm has done considerable damage along the coast. Some of the fishing boats which have arrived at Lowestoft report the loss by drowning of several of their crews. A number of the boats were quite badly damaged in the buffeting tney received while trying to make port. Quantities of wreckage are being washed ashore on the Norfolk coast, indicating the loss of some vessels at ses. SPLIT AMONG THE STRIKERS. Some of the Union Miners at Leadville Conclude to Cut Loose From Their Leaders. DENVER, Coro., Jan. 24.—The report was spread about the State to-night that the Leadville strike had been settled. No Teport has ever caused such good feeling and general rejoicing among the people of the whole State. At the theaters, when the curtains fell on the first acts, it was annoanced from the stages that the strike ‘was settied. Audiences rose in their seats and cheered most wildly. In the largest and most fashionable theater in Denver, which held about 2000 people, the cheering continued until the curtain rose on the second act. It was not until midnight that the ex- act sitoation could be learned. It ap- pears that there has been a bolt of a part of the union members and these have re- solved to cut loose from the dictation of the leaders and seek work in the mines. While this has not settled the strike it is hoped that it may soor reach that end. The most extravagant claims of the bolt- ers still leave a good majority in the union. Eugene V. Debs has urged the men to accept a proposition from the mine-owners which guarantees the re-employment of the strike: It is believed thatif the miners would getaway from the influence of their of- ficers and men from outside the camp they would soon declare the strike off. e o GENERAL ALV¥ORD’S BUIT. Claims That Dr. Edmundson Alienated His Wife’s Affections. DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 24—A euit has been filed by George M. Alvord against his son-in-law, Dr. M. M. Edmundson, for $20,000 damages. al Alvord alleges that Edmundson alienated the affections of his (Alvord’s) wife, and charges that Dr. Edmunson slandered him to Mrs. Alyord, destroying her confidence in him, causing a separal General Alvord also caused Dr. Edmundson to be arrested on a charge of criminal libel. General and Mrs. Alvord are veryold and the family has been prominert in social and business circles of Texas for many years. Dr. Edmundson is a native of Chicago. His wife was a leader of Dallas society at the time of her marriage. A son of Gen- eral Alvord is editor of the Lewiston (Idaho) Tribune and Speaker of the Idaho Legislature. ety s Buffering in New York, CHICAGO, IrL., Jan. 24.—A special toa morning paper from New York says: There is famine and suffering in New York. Tens of thousands of men are out of work and thousands of them doubtless are suffering the pangs of hunger. Sev- eral cases are reported daily in the local press, but no attempt has been made by the newspapers or by any organized charity to secure stafistics, and no one knows even approximately the extent of the penniless unfortunate brigade. It is impossible to make any comparison wWith the conditions in Chicago. S Sherman’s Successor Seleotod. YOUNGSTOWN, Oxnro, Jan. 24.—County Clerk J. H. Ruhlman, who was at the leg- islative reunion in Columbus on Friday night, returned home to-day and said: “It is certain that Lieutenant-Governor A. W. Jones of Youngstown will be ap- pointed Senator to succeed Sherman, There will be no special session of the Legisiature called. Mark Hanna will not be Senator and Governor Bushnell will appoint General Jones to the Senator. ship. Godes Woman Suffragists Gathering at Detroit. DES MOINES, ITowaA, Jan. 24.—Miss Susan B, Anthony, Rachel Foster Avery and Anna Howard Shaw of Philadelphia, Mrs. Chapman Catt of New York, Miss Edith Stone Blackman and others prom- inent in woman suffrage work arrived here this morning to attend the National Convention of the National Woman Suf- frage Association, which opens here Tues- day.

Arbitration freaty, Nicaraguan Bill [and Cameron Resolution Set for Discussion. Turpie Will Speak on ;the Indspend- ence of Congress and Arrogance of the Administration. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.—The arbittation treaty, the Nicaragua canal and the insurrection in Cuba will be again discussed in the Senate during the coming week. Senator Turpie ot Indiana will open the Cuban debate to-morrow, ostensibly on Senator Cameron’s resolu- tion recognizing the independence of the Cuban republic. Mr. Turpie will devote a considerable portion of his time, how- ever, as has been said, to a consideration of the subject of the independence of Con- gress, with such incidental strictures on the manifesto of Secretary Olney as may occur to a plain, outspoken man who be- lieves the executive department has over- stepped its proper function in seeking to intimidate the Senate by the threat of the veto power and the predicted defiance of contemplated legislation. Mr. Turpie's penchant for sarcastic comments and his failure to conform to the polite language of diplomacy in attacking policies that he believes to be wrong lead to the belief that his speech may be piquant readiug. The condition of the Nicaragua canal bill is peculiar. It is still the unfinished business. Senator Morgan, who has given the subject careful consideration, says the bill is drawn so as to come within the terms of the concession granted by Nica- ragua, and he denies that the letter of Minister Rodriguez has any weight what- ever. He will antagonize a motion to send the bill back to the committee if any is made and insist upon the vote on the bill being taken. The debate in the Senate will probably be protracted until the Nica- raguan correspondence called for by Mr. Morgan’s resolution, adopted Saturday, is received. Meanwhile the Rodriguez let- ter will have an important bearing upon the general treaty of arbitration which will be taken up by the committee in special session to-morrow. Friends of the Isthmus canal will antagonize final action on the treaty until something definite is done on the canal bill. At the conclusion of Mr. Turpie's speech to-morrow, the Senate will listen to eunlogies on the late ex-Speaker Crisp. The bankruptcy bill, which was on the special order for 2 o’clock, will in all prob- ability be postponed a few days. The bill to provide for the representa- tion of the United States by Commission- ers atany international monetary confer- ence hereafter to be called—the Wolcott bill—will be considered Tuesday after the morning business. Less than six weeks of the present ses- sion of Congress remain, and this fact has impressed upon the managers of the House the necessity of more vigorousiy pushing the appropriation bills yet re- maining to be considered. It was stated yesterday by a member of the Committee on Rules that the agricul- ture and Indian bilis now on the calendar would be the principal business on the programme this week. These bills, although carrying comparatively small sums, usually give rise to more debates than others on the list. The seed distribution provided for in the agricultural bill is sure to evoke criti- cisms, and the Indian question can be re- lied upon to occupy a day or more of the time of the House. The Indian bill fur- ther contains the provisions of the bill reported two or three weeks ago, to abol- ish the officers of Indian Commissioner and Assistant Indian Commissioner and confer their duties on a board of commis- sioners. This may be promptly disposed of on a point of order, but is more likely to be the occasion of considerable talk be- fore being thus disposed of. The new immigration bill agreed upon by the conferees will be presented to the House to-morrow, and the advocates of the measure will endeavor to secure a aay later in the week for its consideration. RIVER AND HARBOR JUNKET. Fourteen Members of the House Commit- tee Start Out to Inspect Work on Southern Waterways. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.—Four- teen of the sixteen members of Congress composing the Senate Committee on Riy- ers and Harbors, many of them accompa- nied by their wives and other members of their families, left Wasnington this morn- ing at 11:15 o’clock over the Bouthern Railway for New Orleans and Mobile and other places to inspect Government im- provements on waterways. The party traveled in a special car In charge of Captain J. W. Bryant, repre- senting the commercial and shipping in- terests of New Orleans. They will reach Mobile to-morrow, svend two or three hours examining the harbors of that city, reach New Orleans Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday go down to the mouth of the Mississippi to see the crevasse in Pass Aloutre and the jetties and south- west crevasse. They will return to New Orleans Thursday and leave that night for Sabine Pass to see the Government works there, thence to Houston to inspect the improvements on Buffalo Bayou. After a visit to Galyeston the party will return to ‘Washington, stopping en route at New Orleans and Chattanoogo, Tenn. At the latter place they will examine the Gov- ernment works on the Tennessee River. The trip will consume ten days. Among those composing the party are Hop. B. Hermann of Oregon, wife, daugnter and son. et SENATOR GEORGE VERY ILL. Relativ Summoned and the Doolors Thinke He Cannot Recover. WASHINGTON, D. Jan. 24.—Sena- tor J. Z. George of Mississippi is lying ill to-night at the Garfield Hospital in this city. At 11 o'clock to-night he is reported as resting slightly easier than he had been during the day. His wife and family, who are at their home at Carrollton, Miss., have been summoned to his bedside and are expected to arrive to-morrow. Senator George came to this city from Mississippi on January 5 last, and imme- niately entered the Garfield Hospital, He was then suffering from a complication of diseases, bronchial catarrh causing him much anaoyance. During the last week his heart has become involved in the gen- eral complications and it is from this source that the greatest fears are now en- tertained. A consultation between doc- tors was held yesterday and the gravest ator George has been unwell for nearly af | relative to the qualifications of deacons. year and has not occupied his seat in tbe Benate this gession. He is over 70 years of age, and this fact militates against his recuperation. S S STOLE 1EN THOUSAND. Forged Contracts Cashed by the Con- ential Clerk of the Contractor. PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 24—Forged acknowledged contracts of city work on which $18,500 wes raised, have been dis- covered. The paper was held 'by the Columbia National Bank and the Mercan- tile Trust Company, but neither institu- tion will lose anything for the reason that the amount invélved has been made good by the contractor, W. J. Dunn. Mr. Dunn places the blame on & con- fidential clerk, who, he says, is now in the ‘West, but would not give his name. The man has wealthy relatives who will probably make good the money taken by him. The forged assignments were placed in the banks as_collateral, and were dis- covered when they were presented to the County Comptroller for payment. The actual amount of money appropriated by the clerk was $10,000. LOS ANGELES CHURCH WAR. Colored Brethren Fight in a House of Worship, and One Gets Into Court. LOS ANGELES, Car, Jan. 24—The brethren (colored) of the Second Baptist Church of this city have been involved in strife for several months, with good pros- pects of disrupting the organization. Sev- eral fistic encounters among the deacons and other leading members of the congre- gation have taken place during the past few months. Inoneof these a Bible was made to do yeoman service in the hands of an enraged brother, who floored his an- tagonist with the good book. Great care has been taken to keep these things from the general public, but in the trial of Sam- uel Sima on a charge of disturbing the peace before Justice Morrison yesterday alternoon all of the unpleasant facts came to_the surtace. It appeared from the testimony that the defendant, Sims, was at the time of the disturbance endeavoriug to further the candidacy of Brother Bowman for the place of deacon. Brother Joseph Whitlock, an elderly man, was the leader of the opposition, and in the course of the meeting arose to read a passage from the book of Timothy Before he had got well started, Brother Sims appealed to the moderator to de- clare Whitiock out of order unless he would read the entire chapter instead of such passages as he might choose to bol- ster his side up. A personal encounter ensued and Brother Whitlock was badly worsted. The church members took sides, some with Whitlock ana some with Sims. One witness said that Brother Sims, on the night in question, acted very ‘'gentlefied,” and she considered his arrest entirely due to prejudice, Whether Juatics Morrson will take this view remains to be seen. He tock the case under advisement until to-morrow. — ONTARIO EXPERIMENT STATION, Practical Department to Be Added to Chaffey College. LOS ANGELES, Can, Jan. 24—Ar- rangements are being made Chaffey College, Ontario, for the establishment of snexperiment station. Experiments will be made with different fertilizers, various methods of pruning and care will be in- vestigated and many other branches will be practically dealt with. H. F. Shorting, a horticulturist of wide reputa- tion, will commence active operations next week. The test plats will be on the ground belonging to the college. Consid- erable money has bes donated to the en- terprise and it is expected that more will be forthcoming within the next few weeks. Professor 8. M. Woodbridge of this city ana Professor G. W. Gooch of Chaffey College are making all the necessary ar- rangements for the carrying out of the plans. e LOXG BEACH VENTURE. Beet Sugar Factory to Be Built Near the Town. LOS ANGELES, CaL, Jan. 24.—The in- dications are that a beet sugar factory, with a capacity equal to the one at Chino, will goon be constructed on the Cerritos in the neighborhood of Bixby Station and not far from the town of Long Beach, in this county. The locality selected is said to be well adapted to the production of a splendid beet, rioh in saccharine matter. Reports from the agents in New York re- garding the placing of bonds for the en- terprise are reassuring, and it is expected that work on the factory will begin soon. (ot gent L Fatally Beaten in a Fight. LOS ANGELES, CArL., Jan. 24—John Bellew was found early this morning on East Second street, suffering from a frac- tured skull. It is said he had been in company with three other men. A fight had evidently taken place between the quartet, as two pools of blood were found on the opposite side of the street, and near by was a heavy cane made from a billiard-cue, with which Bellew had no doubt been struck. Bellew was too dazed to give much information, and the police have not made any arrests. The doctors held a consultation this afternoon and pronounced that Bellew's injuries were atal. e BSousa’s Musical Contribution. LOS ANGELES, OAL., Jan. 24.—A meet- ing of the fiesta executive committee was held yesterday, when appointments to the various committees were made. It was reported that John Philip Sousa wil compose a new march for the fiesta, to be dedicated to the people of Southern Cali- fornia. e —— BANTA CORUZ REFORMS.

STOOKTON, CAL., Jan. 24.—Stockton is entertaining the delegates who have as- sembled to attend the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith. Great preparations have been made by the local representatives to receive the delezates, and there has seldom been a meeting of the Grand Lodge where the visiting rep- resentatives have been accorded such a bearty recention. The members of Hope Lodge of this city are among the most wealthy citizens of Stockton. They never do things by halves, as was evidenced to- day and to-night by their treatment of the visitors. Especial interest on the part of Stocktonians was taken in the gathering, as M. P. Steiln, one of the leading grain merchants of this city and one of Stock- ton’s most progressive citizens, was to be elected grand president of the organiza- tion. The morning boats brought hundreds of representatives from all parts of the Pa- cific States. New Pioneer Hall had been selected asthe meeting place for the Grana Lodge and here to-day’s deliberations were held. The order was established fifty-three years ago in New York City. It now has nine grand lodges, nearly 500 subordinate lodges and more than 35,000 members scattered through the most civilized portions of the world. The order expends millions of dollars in deeds of charity. To-day’s meeting of the grand lodge of the Pacific slope was one of the most suc- cessful ever held. Officers will not be elected until Tuesday, but in the mean- time the routine business of the order is being attended to and the delegates are enjoying a round of pleasure.

According to the reply made by County Clerk Ed Martin to the Committee on County and Township Government of the State Legislature, which asked for the in- formation, the total amount paid to con- stables during the year 1896 was only $2228, and the sum paid” Justices of the Peace only $1949. These amounts are divided between ten constables and ten justices, so that the vagrancy expense is less than was sup- posed, considering the other duties per- formed by the justices and constables. The fact is made ‘more apparent by these figures that Santa Cruz County has a minimum vagrant element, which is steadily being reduced through the efforts of the District Attorney and the Salvation Army, the latter supplying work for the unemployed. Rt ghT o Fresno Cutting Affray. FRESNO, Car., Jan. 24 — William Bridges, a ieader in colored circles of this city, was slashed with a razor to-night by another negro named Partee. The wound, though an ugly and ery painful one, is not serious. The cut extends from the crown of the head downward and under the right ear to the cheek. It requirea fourteen stitches to close it. It appears that Partee had been too intimate with Bridges’ wife, and to-night her husband caught him in the yzrd at the rear of the house. Partee then set upon Bridges and did the cutting. Partee has fled and offi- cers are looking for him. ————— 18 yours a Stomach Coagh * Dr. D. Jayne's Ex- pectorant will cure that. Get It from your drug- gist.

SACRAMENTO, OCaLn, Jan.24—Four coaches filled with legislators, State offi- cials, prominent Sacramentans and news- paper men, left the depotat 9:30 o’clock this morning on a visit of inspection to the Stste prison at Folsom, the gramte quarries, the State rock- crusher and the big power-house, all on the American River. The visitors found the prison as clean as a new pin and look- ing as if it had always been so. Warden Aull and Deputy Warden Baker escorted he guests through the g reat stone build- ingsand to the prison dining-room and kitchen—models of neatness.

FRESNO, CaL,, Jan. 24.—Fred Borgpan was shot in the legs to-night by Willlam Hill while trying to enter the latter's house, a mile southeast of town. The would-be burglar, who is a hard-looking character, is now lying in the County Jail suffering from two badly shattered shins and with the prospect of losing the use of his right knee. Hill says he first heard Borman walki on the front porch of his house. THe rancher arose from bed and called to the fellow to “get out.” Looking through & window Hill saw Borman walking around to the rear of the house. The rancher then took his shotgun, loaded it and went out to the rear porch. The burglar came directly toward the steps and Hill stepped out with his gun leveled and asked the intruder what he wanted. Borman, see- ing the gun, sprang forward to grapple with the rancher, erying out: ‘*You will shoot me, will you? Tl fix you!l” But Hill was too quick, and fired, aim- ing at the man's legs. The burglar bounded into the air, gave an awful howl and then fell in a heap on the ground. His wailing and cries of pain were pitifal. With the assistance of a mneighbor, Hill brought the rascal to jail. Borman says that he has been working at the Helm ranch, but refuses to talk concerning to-night’s escapade.
