Mrs. Nancy Ann Abbott Quackenbush had another interesting interview with Attorney W. W. Foote in Judge Seawell’s court yesterday. incidentaily her attorney presented on ber bebalf quite a number of documents to sustain her claims to wifehood. For instance, there were about a dozen gas receipts for the house occupied by Mrs. Quackenbush, all of said receipts being made out in the name of T. M. Quackenbush, who is claimed by heras her husband by contract, although he | denies it. Against this batch of documents Mr. Foote directed an energetic attack. Mrs. Quackenbush testified that in order- ng provisions and supplies she made out a list of what was wanted and Quacken- bush signed it. Tuen it was sent 1o the dealer. He always gave Mrs. Abbott & part of the money necessary to pgy the rent. She produced a receipt bearing the signature of a woman now dead for rent nce paid by Quackenbush. She also had a package of receipts from the San Fran- cisco Gaslight Company made out to Quackenbush. She proauced some private notes writ- ten to her by Quackenbush. They were almost as illegible a3 Chinese lottery tick- ets. Attorney Foote iusisted that the court shou'd read them and then pass on their legibility. Judge Seawell could not read them, and Attorney Rodgers started to decipher them from a translation. Foote objected to the translation, and Mrs. Abbott was asked to read them. The lady made an effort, but it was im- — WHMs MA CLeRK oumemrA:ui‘s et B8 M D O e O i O O e © 0= O— © om0 Prominent Lccal Members of the Railway Mail Service Benevolent Association, Shortly to Convene in This City. very generous proposal to the using this as a basis of work, Superinten- dent Flint and his secretary, W.

Ham- mond, succeeded 1n making such arrange- ments with other transportation com- penies in the Western States as to render the undertaking feasible, and at the Chi- cago. convention in_ 1895 this Ci selected for the meeting of 1867. For over a year, therefore, preparations for this convention have been ade by the of and clerks of the postal service in this City and throughout the Pacific division of the railway mail service. As thei rangements are nearing completion and the day approaches they are looking for- ward to the arrival of their co-workers from the Eastern States with many happy anticipations. The association, which this gathering rks, and, B composed of railway postal cierks, postoffice inspectors and departmen: officials who | supervise the transportation of the mai It was founded twenty-seven years ago by a few route agents who desired to ide for the fami of their comrades kilied in the service, and, at the same time, es- cape the exorbitant premiums demanded by insurance com panies. It met with much opposition and no favor during the first years of its existence, largely because 1ts promoters were with- out financial training, and its scant mem- vership was scattered over a large scope of territory. of a department oflicial, a convention was held at Chicago, which excited some en- thusicsm and gave courage toits sponsors. The membership soon afterward showed 1 appreciable growth, department and division officials applied for admission and the prestige of tnesociety seemed es- tablished. In an evil hour, however, a treasurer was elected, who signalized his administration by absconding with the entire assets, which, shrough loose busi- ness methods, were at the time unsecured. Thus deprived of everything but its name, the association began another up- hill struggle with only 140 members. By levying double and treble assessments on the remnant of its membership who were willing to stand this sort of financiering it established a small reserve fund. It was then incorporated under the laws of Iliinoie and its certificates written to cover deaths from any cause. It bassince experienced a steady growth and’ hasat this time 3760 members who are each in- sured in tbe sum of $2000. It has but one salaried officer, who receives the pay of his grade in the Railway Mail Service. By keeping the expenses of administra- tion at a minimum it affords to its mem- bers the cheapest insurance known. The National convention 1s ap old cus- tom of the clerks. At first only business meetings were held ss circumstances de- manded, but for many years these have been merged into one general gathering and the business routine supplemented by social features in which tbe families of the delegates participate. It has thus come to be the annual holiday affair of the Railway Mail Service, to which every clerk looks forward with keen interest. These annual meetings, by affording the rank and file of the service an opportunity 10 exchange ideas and compare methods, bave been beneficial to the service, and the department has always encowraged them by arranging transportation for the delezates and their tamilies. In recognition of the hazardous work and valuable service performed by the railway mail clerks the cities in which represent, is an old and/substantial | benevoleat order, whose membership is | Finally, however, by the favor | sented to deliver a lecture on_the postal | servics at Y.

Mr. Erwin has been collecting data for this lecture for several years, and his long connection with the department as one of the confidential agents of the Postmaster-General renders him peculiarly fit to speak on this subject. | This lecture was arranged by the postal clerks, thinking that its instructive features wouid prove especially interesting to the business community, which de- pends 8o largely on the mails in the con- | duct of daily affairs.

Callundan, a private detective, was | ned $100 or 100 days in the County Jail by Judce Joachimsen yesterday, ou the charge of malicious mischiel. His attor- | nev, W. H. Cook, gave notice of appeal. | Callundan was arrested on October 16 on a warrani sworn out by Lee Hen. Four | days previous Callundan, acting under the | instructions of ths Chinese Consul, raided | the clubrooms of the See Yup society in Chinatown and destroyed, it was alleged, about $5000 worth of property. | When the case was tried it was urged | that, as Callundan had acted under in- structions of the Consul, there was no malice on his part, but the Judge took a different view of the case. The Callundan rai¢ wasone of the moves in the Sam Yup-See Yup wariare that re- zi;mea in the assassination of “Little ete.” ————— Is Not Insane. F. A.

The vroduction of the grocery bills aroused Mr. Foote’s ire. e wanted to know if all the bills lor groceries had been kept by her, and shesaid that she retained all that came into her hands. “Don’t you know that there were grocery bills made out in your name that were receipied and that you destroyed tnem ?"” thundered Mr. Foote. “That is not true,” replied the witness in fear and tremblin;. “Did you not buy groceries at Cluff's and Sbarboro’s in your own name?” was the next question. “Not that I know of,’’ replied the wit- ness. A receipt for rent for the premises at 1001 Washineton_street, signed by D. L. Fouts and dated January 2, 1893, was pro- It read: “Received of T. M. Quackenbush §25 for rent of 1001 Washington street.” M. Foote—Why didn’t you give that receptl to Mr. Quackenbush? “The witnegs—He asked me to take care of them? Why do you call this receipt “them?” I mean all the receipts. Don’t you know that he was exceedingly close? Yes. And stingy? Yes—rather. And very careful? es. Didn’t he take a ickel that he ever paidonit o Pt 10T €TeY B Idon't know. Mr. Foote's inference in his subsequent questions was that Mrs, Quackenbush had taken possession of the papers belonging to Quackenbush for the purpose of bolster- ing up ber claim. The note signed “yours lovingly, T. M. Q.” was_ especially objected to by Mr. Foote. He asked the witness if shedid not write the “lovingly” in after she re- ceived it from Quackenbush, and sie de- nied the insinuation. She also resented any imputation that she has fabricated any papers for use in this suit for $500 a month alimony. Mrs. Eva Poindexter and Mrs. Delia Heerness testified that they heard Mr. Quackenbush and Mrs. Abbott, as she was then known, talk of their engagement 10 be married and of their intention to go East on a bridal tour. On cross-examination Mrs. Poindexter confessed to Mr. Foote that she abandoned her children in the Eust before coming to Calilornia. She said she obtained a divorce from her husband, but the records of the court were produced, showing that her busband obtain-d a divorce from her. NEW TO-DAY. NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

Director Waller Discovers That the Amount Exceeds His Original Estimate. The meeting of the Board of Education this evening will be a very lively affair in all probability. The deficiency in the finances of the School Department is, according to the figures secured yesterday by School Director Waller, larger than was at first supposed when it was placed at $90,000. Yesterday Mr. Waller an- nouneed that the deficit at the end of the fiscal year will be nearer $120,000 than any other figure. Books and accounts have been carefully considered during the past few days by Mr. Waller, and he has also worked inde- fatigably to ascertan facts from all sources, that the situation may be fully understood. Auditor Broderick and ghe Tax Coilector have supplied some data. The resultof all this 15 that Mr. Waller will have a statement, type-written, to present this evening for the consideration of his fellow-memobers in the board, and the statement will be made—“There is the defict,” this being followed closely by the question—"What are you going to do about it?” ““We hope by economy,” said Waller yesterday, “to dimimsh the amount of the deficiency some before the end of the fiscal year. We will get $10,000 less from the apportionment ot the Supervisors of the City taxes than we fizured on. There is also another deficit due in the second installment of the State taxes, which in- stalment ought to have amounted to $217, 000, but it will fall down to $197,000 ‘The Supervisors figured too closely. If Auditor Broderick’s figures had been taken in making the apportionment we would have been in much better shape.” Yesteraay the representative of the Miriam Company of Boston, who fur- nished a stock of dictionaries to the School Department, called upon Mr. Wal- ler to see what could be done ia the direc- tion of getting paid for them. He said that he did not want the dictionaries back, but wanted the money for those delivered, amounting to §648. The purchase was clearly in violation of the one twelfth act and Mr. Waller has been to advised by Anditor Broderick. The agent went away and probably will be heard from later. MARKET-STREET MASHER A Young Lady Testifies Against Joseph Bush, Who ds Convicted of Vagravey. Joseph Bush and 8. M. Stone, the Market-street mashers, appeared in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday to answer the charge of vagranc; Detective Graham and Policeman Me- Gee testified that the two young men bad been nanging around the Emporium for some weeks and complaints had been made to them that ladies had been in- sulted by the mashers. Carrie Epstein, a young lady living at 3523 Twenty-third streer, testified that Bush had accosted her on Market street last Wednesday. He asked to escort her home, and she felt indignant and toid him she did not know him. She walked away, but he followed her up Powell street and again spoke to her. She walked as far as O’ Farrell street, Bush still following her, and as she turned along O'Farrell she met Policeman McGee. She told McGee that Bush had insulted her and McGee placed him under arrest. Bush declared that he had no intention of insulting the young lady, said he was a married man and a plumber by trade. The Judge convicted him of vagrancy and ordered him to appear for sentence to-day. The case against Stone, whose chief fauit appears to be that he was a corapanion of Bush, was continued till to-day.
