He then entered the University of Cincinnati ana studied three years finishing his collegiate education at Griswold College, Daven- port, Iowa, while acting as assistant instructor in Latin. Mr. Lacey began his theological studies in private under the personal direction of Bishop Perry of Iowa and then spent a year at the General Theological Semin- ary in New York, at the same time pursuing a post-graduate course of study in e university of the city of New York.

He Had Been Laboring Night and Day to Defeat the Rail= road at Washington. The Reaction After Success Proved Too Much for His Brain. He Will Recover. BERKELEY, CaL, Jan. 25.—Overcome with anxiety and weakened by incessant toil as a member of the Committee of Fifty in his attempt to overthrow the funding bill, William M. Coward of 2211 Ellsworth street, Berkeley, has lost his reason. By constant and unabated effort, both night and day, to undo the plans of Collis P, Huntington he has given way to Member of the Committee of the Funding Bill Are Said to Mental Derangement. some, years. He was always regarded steady workman, but for sev months he has been unable 10 procure employ- ment, and this, with his brooding over his domestic trouble, caused him to be de- spondent and become tired of liie. A Burglar in Her Bedroom. OAKLAND, Cax., Jan. 25.—Miss Vinnie- comb, who resides at the residence of Mrs. Rebecca Knox, was disturbed in her slumbers early yesterday morning by a burglar, who was inspecting the bureau by the light of a candle, As soon as she saw the man, who had a big, fat, red face, she screamed. The candle went ont im- mediately and nothing more was seen of the thief. From his methods the burglar evidently knew something about the plunder he was after. He had taken a flatiron from the gas stove in the dining-room into tae lady’s bedroom, and evidently became too frightened to use it. The police have been looking for a man of his description for some time, and his depredations have been reported from many quarters. A Fractured Skull. OAKLAND, CAL., Jan. 2.—Vance C. Hollowell, by’ his gnardian, has brought suit against the Southern Pacific Company for $50,000 damages for injuries received last November, vhen the plaintiff was struck by a locomotive at Golden Gate. Tue boy had his skull fractured, and it is alleged that owing to the injuries he will never regain his normal mental faculties. It is also alleged that the accident wasdue to the bell at the crossing, which was out of order and did not give warning of the approach of the train. New Infirmary Physician., OAKLAND, CaL., Jan. 25.—The Board of Supervisors to-day appointed Dr. 8. A.

COWARD, the Well-Known Real Estate Man and Fifty, Whose Efforts Against Have Caused His Temporary the demands upon his strength and now he is a physical and mental wreck. In disconnected sentences and in partly in- coherent tones he talks of Huntington and the railroads. *God has righted the wrong,” says he; “and now the poor people will be free.” For several days he has been talking in this strain, but last night the crisis came, and he gave way under the load, and was to-day taken before the Insanity Com- mission. During the time that Mayor Sutro was gathering his forces to struggle against the B:snue of the bill by Congress Mr. ward took & most active part in the work of the committee, and a portion of the time worked night and day. Hav- ing an extensive insurance and country real estate business at 11 Montgomery street, San Fraucisco, the extra work of writing communications, gatnering data concerning the Pacific railroads and meet- ing committees began to sap his vitality, but being a manof greatfirmnessof pur- pose he kept up under the severe neryous tension until the last. The unfortunate man is full of ideas concerning the funding bill and religi and though he seems to be conscious of all that 18 going on about him he has no power of thought or ability to express himself. This morning Town Marshal Lloyd called at the residence of the unfortunate man and decided to take him before the Insanity Commission.\ Accordingly he was conveyed to Oakland. Before taken away a number of friends called and at- tempted to converse with him, but with- out avail. Thouzh not violent he seems almost whoily devoid of his méntality and can talk of nothing but the funding bill. Mr. Coward has a wife and four chil- dren in Berkeley. He bas been residing here for about six months, having pre- viously lived in San Francisco. Mrs. Coward is grief-stricken, and for a long time could not be prevailed upon to leaye her husband’s side. She says that the physicians assure ber of his ultimate re- covery, but that some time ¥ill be neces- sary to build up his wasted energy. When he first came to San Francisco Coward was associated with Bovee, Toy & Co., but later went into business for him- self n_the. building occupied until re- cently by O'Farrell & C LOST ALL HIS FAMILY, Bagar L. Cox, Despondentand Lonely, Takes a Fatal Draught of Morphine. OAKLAND, Car., Jan. 25.—Edgar L. Cox went to a room at 418 Tenth street Saturday night, drank the contents of a large bottle of morphine and was found dead at noon to-day. Judging from some memoranda found in his room Cox’s life for the past few years has been peculiarly unhappy. On one piece of paper dated last Saturday was the following note: I have lost my wife and children; the children were stolen from me by Miss Preston in Sacramento some years ago. 1 have not been happy since. My child) was all I had to live for. My dear little Mol e notseen a happy day since I lost therefore 1 will say good-by.” There was a pocketbook in the room and also a Bible. On one of the leaves of the former was written: “To whom it may concern: I ask pardon for what Iam. I have no hoves of ever seeing my children. God bl them. If I could see my little Mollie again then I would have hope. Good-by to all.” Cox was known to Mr. Harter, who is one of the people interested in the gospel tent at Fourteenth street and Broadwsy, and in a httle note to the Coroner Cox ked that all his personal effects be given to Mr. Harter. Another memorandum conveys the information that “Since I wrote this I went out and had a good meal and a good drink and a ell# 3 fi have a sbrother, one named E. F.

The Populist Candidate for Mayor on tbe Religicus Issue. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISOO CALL, 908 Broadway, Jan. 25. } Superintendent McClymonds, who has become accustomed to looking upon his situation in the City School Department as a permanency has received notice that when the Board of Education which will take office next March appoints some one to fill the office for the succeeding four years he will have a strong competitor. Professor E. F. Burrill, head of the lan- guage department in the Oakland High School, issued a public statement to-day, in which he says: Inorder to forestall uncertain rumors, and to be perfectly frack with all concerned, I | wish to announce my candidacy before the in- coming Board of Education for the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Imake the announcement, assuming that ihe most important educational office in the City is strictly a_non-political one, and that the only requisite is personal fitness’ to administer its duties. It is accordingly as a competitor, not as a contestant for the office, that I shall enter the field. This declaration from Professor Burrill came as a great surprise to Superintendent. McClymonds and his political suppcrters. There will be several changes in the next Board of Education, and it is stated that Professor Burnil has obtained pledges from many of the candidates for School Directors before making known that he was in the fight. There are no complaints against the present Superintendent, but the feeling exists that when a man has held a job for eight years he has had his share of political Ele. Dr. Buckland, the Councilman from the Fifth Ward, will run as an independent candidate to succeed himself. V. Northey i= out with a petition as an inde- Wndflenl Councilman from the Seventh ard. Rev. Mr. Goodenough, the Populist can- didate for Mayor, gave an interview to- day in which occurred the following lan- guage: ‘I have very positive views about the free library. There should be no cen- sorship exercised over tne literature of any kind, either 1 the free library or reading-room, except it be of an obscene or prefane character. There is no place for religion in American politics. I am opposed to any indorsement by religious societies of any candidate. The issues to be met are plainly political and have no connection whatever with religions be- lief. HOWARD MUST ANSWER. Judge Wood Admits That the Evidence Is Very Wenk. OAKLAND, CaL, Jan. 25.—John How- ard was held to answer this morning for being implicated in the death of Anna Johnson. Judge Wood stated that he did not con- sider the evideuce connecting Howard with the crime as of much weight except the dying girl’s statement. He said that the defendant’s attorney might secure his release on habeas corpus, but he did not think it proper for him, considering the gravity of offense charged, to allow the defendant to go. This afternoon Attorney Francour ap- plied to the Superior Coart for a writ of habeas corpus which was issued and made returnable Wednesday. ———————— Hypyoric Inst., 6 O'Farrell, teach, treat. * | : INGLESIDE NOW HOLDS THE HAND Three Choices Win Recpen- ing Day at the Local Track. Buckwa Took the Mile, Down- ing Captive and Other Fast Ones. Scimitar Was the First Favorite to Fall — Tux:do Ou'jumped the Favorite Gallant. Ingleside track on this side of the bay réopened yesterday, and there were no lamentations, no expressions of regret on the part of the talent. The track across the bay Is pleasantly situated and equally as palatial in its appointments as the one at Ingleside, but oh, my! what hard luck the favorites played in, to use a sporting phrase. To be sure the first choices do not all win at the track within a stone’s throw of the Pacific, but as a rule they fare much better. While not the most fastidious and fascinating card ever offered a race-going public, the atiendance at the local track yesterday was large, and the eighteen bookmakers laying prices were kept busy handling the coin offered. The weather was mild and summer-like and the members of the cripple division were frisky as two-year-olds. Three favor- ites won and three were beaten. The downfall of the beaten favorites was ac- complished mostly by second or third choices, and none of the successful horses ran loose. Ed Purser’s wise old horse Backwa cap- tured the classic event of the card, the mile run, starting a 4 to 6 choice. Picking up 111 pounds and piloted by Henry Mar- tin, he took tbe lead from Captive before a quarter of the distance had been tray- eled, and won without noticeable effort from Wheel of Fortune. Captive, ridden by Willie Martin, was the runner up for some distance, and then fell back, finish- ing fourth, behind Greyhurst. The mile was covered in 1:42. Ed Gaines’ brown gelding Collins opened the day auspiciously for the fayor- ites by starting an even money chance for the opening mile and a sixteenth run and winning in & gallop from The Bach- elor, carrying the Corrigan colors and a 15 to 1'shot in the ring. The brown colt Scimitar, with “Skeets’” Martin up, was the iavored onme in the betting among the seven starters that lined up at the barrier in tue seven-furiong dash that followed. The favorite ran a good race, but could not overcome the ad- vantage guined by Minnie Cee, against whom 5 to 1 was laid, and was fourlengths behind Hoenig’s mare as the stand was passed. Old Jack Richelien took show honors. The maiden hurdleevent overa mile and a sixteenth, with four obstacles to clear. was supposed to be a good thing for Gal- lant, which was played from twos down 106 to 5. The old gray horse, imp. Autonomy, also had a host of friends who accepted 2 to 1 laid about him. The gray showed in front as usual, but gave way to Gallant as the stretch was reached. Things now looked comparatively easy for the favorite, when sudden!y Tuxedo got a move on and, passing the leader, won hands down in 1:563{. Autonomy was a fair third. Opening in the betting in the fifth event, a six-furlong spin, at odds of even money, Mobalaska receded to 7 to 5, and was downed quite hendily by Kowalsky, the second choice, who walked over the line two lengths before the Corrigan entry. Show honors went to Allahabad, a 60 to 1 outsider. Pat Dunne’'s brown sprinter Preston never will find much easier game than the company he met in the final six-farlong, and going to the post at the prohibitive odds of 7 to 20, disposed of Peixotto at the end without much difficulty. Sport Mc- Allister, which made the running into the stretch, was third. e NOTES.

Itis the most beautiful trophy yet offered in connection with a ruce in this part of the country, and is_admired by all. The Spreckels cup is down for decision in the near future at Ingleside track. The action of the California Jockey Club in setting Febrtiary 20 as the date for the decision of the four-mile stake race, to be decided at the Emeryville track, is shabty, to say the least, yet perfectly in keeping with the greedy, grasping policy of that treck. Some weeks ago the Ingleside man- agement, following the custom observed by all first-class racing organizations, an- nounced that the four-mile stake event would be decided on February 22, Wash- ington’s birthday, thus affording the gen- eral public an_opportunity of witnessing the big race. Now at this late date comes the ultimatum of the California Jockey Club folks announcing that the long dis- tance affair on its calendar of events will be run on February 29, just two days prior to the Ingleside race. Itlooks like a bit of sharp practice on the part of the people across the bay. The Ingleside Association is boasting over its card for Wednesday (‘‘iadies’ day”) and Secretary W. S. Leuke grows jubilant at mention of it. Seldom has a track in the West offered the public such an excellent programme of events, all at distances of a mile or over. The idea of getting up such a card originated with Ingleside’s energetic and bard-working secretary ana Mr. Leake is entitied to much credit for doing away with the “short-bred” distances that have such little charms for patrons of the turf. Wednesday bids fair to be a banner day at the local track. 4 Collins, winner of the opening race, has undergone the operation of nerving and altogether is a pretty bad cripple. “Curly” Shields says he thinks a hoodoo hovers over his brown colv Scimitar. He is an uncertain performer and has cost his owner many losing bets. Captive didn’t appear to be up to much yesterday. He must have been sadly out of form to have been beaten so badly in the ordinary time of 1:42 for thé mile. In a letter received by a turfman in this City recently the news was conveyed that the pooling privileges for the Montana circuit will be controlled the coming sea- son by Ed Tipton. Secretary Leake of the Ingleside asso- clation is in receipt of a letter from Colonel S8anders D. Bruce, in which that gentleman states that the Jockey Club does not and never will own the Stud Book. The Turf, Field and Farm of Janu- ary 8 also publishes the followingz im- ortant notice to breeders from the pen of Colonel Bruce: Dear Sir: 1desire to call your attention to the following no‘ice from E. C. Hopper, secre- tary of the American Turf Congress 1 horses will have to be registered in Bruce's Amoerican Stud Book before they will be per- itted to start on Turl Congress tracks.” No foals of 1896 reported to the Jockey Club and paid for to them have been reported to me, notwithstanding I have irequently re- quested them to do so and to pay over to me one-halt of the regisiration fces in accordance mith the dgresment between me and the {dckey club. 5 Reports to the Jockey Club were made at my request by circular issued in compliance with that agreement with the understanding that the payment of the registration fee of $2 per heed for native and $5 for imported horses would insure entry in the Stud Book and half the fees would be paid to me for such entry. As the Turl Congress rales require reg- istration in the Stud Book before a horse can race on Turf Congress tracks the action of the Jockey Club as above stated there- fore disqualifies all the foals of 1896 re- ported to them from racing on Turi Con- gress tracks, and disqualifies as well the foals of other years reported to them and not registered in the Stud Book. If, therefore, you desire your foals regisered in the Stud Book, it will be necessary for you to send me a duplicate report for 1896, stating also such mares as were barren, slipped foals and were not bred in 1896 to make the record complete. The Jockey Club has been paid $2 and §5 respectively for native and imporied horses, and by virtne of my agreement with the Jockey Club entitles them to registry in the Stud Book witnout additional charges to the breeder. The rules prohibit the repetition of nemes, except by the addition of a numeral* and claims for names will be registered in order of priority. By the withholding ot the foals of 1896 the compilation of volume VI of the Stud Book has also been greatly delayed. THE *“CALL” PACIFIC COAST JOCKEY CLUB. Ingleside Racetrack. Monda 7.
