THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1897. QUALTERS' UNRULY 10 They Pain Him Severely Even After Being Amputated. QUEER CASE DEVELOPS IN OAELAND. , | Strange Hallucination of a Man Hurt in a Railway Accidert. HIS PLEA TO A KIND-HEARTED UNDERTAKER. Would Not Rest Satisfi d Until Had Be'n Show: His Severed Member. He John Qualters, who was badly njured by being struck by a train on the Oa broad gauge early on the morning of | March 28, bas furnished the officials of the | Oakland Receiving Hospital and Morgue with a sensation that has not been equaled for many days. The unfortunate man was found through the howling of his little dog, who stood | guard over his master's maimed body and rased his little voice in an appeal for nelp until sssistance came. At the Re- ceiving Hospital it was found that in ad- dition to a dislocated shoulder and other puinful injuries his right leg had been crushed just above the ankle. The physicians in charge of the Re- ceiving Hospital, where Qualters was taken, tried hard to save the foot, but it was finally decided that amputation was necessary to save the injured man’s life, and the leg was severed above where the bone was crushed and sent to the Morgue 10 be disposed of. Qualters improved and seemed to pay little uttention to his loss until the night foliowing the overation, when the at- tendants were aroused by screams from | his cot. When they went to him he| seemed to be suffering agonies. He said that the toes of his right foot | were all drawn up against the sole of the | extremity and that their nnnatural posi- tion was causing him the most intense | pain. His attention was called to the fact that | the ioot had been ampu:ated and was | then at the Morgue several blocks away. | | “Iknow that,’” moaned Qualters, *“‘but it hurts just the same. Iknow that the as no use toargue with the patient, 50 finally to quiet him the foot was sent | ior and shown him. When he saw that | the toes were in their natural position he immediately declared that the pan was leaving him and within a tew moments he | was as comfortable as his wounds wouid permit. He insisted that the foot should be kept at the hospital until morning, which was done to satisfy him, and he slept quietly for the remainder of the night. In the morning when an undertaker came to remove the foot and give 1t burial Qualters asked to see him. i “When you put it ander ground,” he | pleaded, ase see that it is boxed up | neatly, ‘and be sure thai the toes are straight out as they should be. I know that if they are not kept in that position I | =hall feel it, no matter how my leg 1s, and | 1 don’t want a return of that awful pain. You will do that for me, won’t yon 2" The undertaker promised and Qualters seemed satisfied. His chances of recovery | are brighi despite the severity of his in- | juries, and ne is aiready talking of the | wooden foot with immovable toes that will take the place of the one that caused bim so much trouble. ALLEGED BIG FRAUD. Close of the Important Trial in Regard | to Valuable Alaskan Fisheries and Canneries. Judge Seawell is engaged in the trial of | the important snit of Bartlett Doe, W. J. Gray, Thomas Poilar the Tallant Ban ing Company, S. Thompson, B. H. | Madison, Martin Madison gnd ’ James | Madison against James Eva, H. J. Barling, | the Alaska Packers’ Association, W. B. Bradford, J. Pentecost, 8. J. Eva, William | Ciift and Maria L. Barling. The allegations in the complaint are of a sensat onal character and the amount involved in the litigation is very largs. The plaintiffs aliege bad faith on the part of the defendants, specifically acca ing James Eva, J. Pentecostand H. J. Bariing with having deceived the plain- uffs in regard to the amount of the price of certain fishing and cannery property in Alaska sold by the plaintiffs to the Alas] Packers’ Assaciation through James Ev: Barling and Pentecost, as a committee. The averment of the plaintiffs is as fol- lows: That the said statements of Barling, James Evaand Pentecost so made tosaid board of directors concerning the price to be paid by said Alaska Packers' Association for sa: properties were ialse and untrue; that said agreement was not & genuine agreement, but | was fabricated by said James Eva, Barling and Pentecost for the purpose of imposing on | said board and concealing from them the reai | price which said Alaska Packers’ Association | was willing to_pay for said properties; that | the said sale of said properties to the Alaska | Packers’ Association hed been in fact negoti- ated by said James Eva, Barling and Pentecost atthe price of £300.000, instead of $136,000, as reported by thew, and the said Alaska Packers’ Association was willing to pav and bad agreed 10 pay the said sum of $300,000 for the properties. A decree of courtis aemanded for the purpose of declaring James Eva, Barling and Pentecost trustees for the plaintiffs to the extent of the difference between $300,- 000 and $136.000; tbat a receiver be ap- pointed, and that the purchaser of the property be required to pay the extra money into court. Testimony was closed yestarday, and pending the engrossmeni of pleadings Judge Seawell graateda continuance until the 14th inst, when argument will be heard. JUDGE WALLACE SUSTAINED. The Supreme Court Denies a Writ of Habeas Corpus to J. A. Buckley. The State Supreme Court yesterday de- nied the petition for a writ of habeas cor- pus in the case of Jerome A. Buckley, convicted of stuffing election returns and sentenced 1o five years' imprisonment in San Quentin. A week or ~0 ago in one of its decisions the Supreme Court practically determined that Buckley was innocent of the crime charged, hoiding that the evi- dence sgainst the accused was insufficient, Itpracticaily, though not directiy, ordered the dismissal of the case by the lower court, Judge Wallace, before whom the case was tried, positively refused todismiss the case, and he passed severe criticisms upon the Supreme Court for going beyond its province in granting a new (rial, baving | ticin their pi reached its decision from the facts instead of trom thelaw. Judge Wallace, however, set ¢ne case for its second trial. Buckley’sattorneys yesterday petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus. Chief Justice Beatty in passing upon the petition stated that the former decision of ihe Supreme Court simply ordered a new trial, but made no provi<ion for the petitioner's im- mediate dismissal. Thus Superior Judge Wallace’s position was sustained, and Buckley will have to stand a second trial. E. FRANK ATTACHED. A Relative Begins Sult Against the Kearny-Street Furnishing Goods Lenler. Mark E. Frank, a manufacturer and dealer in ciothing and shirtsat 258 Kearny street, was atiached yesterday by Nathan Frank on a claim of $3000. The swit was begun on & promissory note, executed by the furmshing goods dealer several months | ago. 1+ was expected some time ago that the attachment would be levied, as Nathan Frank, who is a relative of the_defendant, had threatened suit. It is bel eved that the matter will be straightened out and that Mr. Frank will be permitted to con- tinue his business. ——————— PRAISE OF OALIFORNIA J. B.

A costly Oriental vase, which had for | months rested snugly and veacefully in | one of the Park Museum niches, took a notion to wobble the other day and then tumble headlong to the marble floor with |a crash.

MIDBLE-AGED BUT STILL A CHILD Death of a Woman Who| Was Thirty-Three Inches Tall. Her Mind Was No More Devel- oped Than That of a Little Baby. Medical Science Marve's That She Lived So Long—S 1e Was Thirty- Four Years Old. Catherine Meagher, who though 34 years of uge was only thirty-three inches tail, died on Mondsy at the residence of her parents, 304 Valencia street, of inani- tion. Toe case is one of the strangest | hat ever came to the notice of the local medical fraternity and will doubtless be closely investigated, if the vermit of it, in the interest of science. Catherine Meacher was born in New- foundland in 1863, her parents being of normal heignt and development and with nothing about them to indicate any hereditary peculiarity that would produce such an offspring. The child was apparently normal at its birth, but it was soon noticed that the only portion of its body that developed was its head. Nor was the mental devel- opment in proportion to the increase ef the craniam. Ateightyears old the child was small for its age and its head was of abnormal size, and afler that time there was no noticeable increase in the size of the body. the time of her death it was a- large as that of an ordinary human being. Other children—girls and boys—were born to the Meagher family, and #il were normal in size and intellect. A few vears ago the family removed to this City, and ever since their advent here the unfortu- nate woman was kept in seclusion. She nad the hands and feet of a baby. the body of a child of 5 and the head ofa fully grown verson. The case is remarkable from the fact that persons so afilicted seldom live be- yond early childhood, and even more sel- dom reach the age of 20. She never even learned to repeat the leiters of the alpha- bet and was a constant care 10 her par- ents, though they paid every loving at. tention to their unfortunate daughter. Death came just as it does to babies, from simple lack of vitality, and the greatest { wonder is that she survived through the days of her childhood and througn the period that in normal beings would be early womanhood. The physician who sttended in the case watched it carefuily and did all in power to keep the vital spark from flick ering out, hut medical science was of no avail, and the feeble life germ gave way. The Meaguer family refuses to give in- formation except to the physician who attended, and desires the sorrow of their life to be laid away with as little publicity as characterized her iife. 5 Held for Arson. Mrs. Katie Malcomson, 131 Taylor street, was yesterday held to answer before the Su. perior Court in $5000 bonds by Acting Police Judge Kerrigan on the charge of arson. The fire “took place Saturday morning und Mrs, Malcomson was arrested Monday. i el L The Fly-Casting Club.

Bardwell—that indefatigable searcher for antiquities—and given by him to the | Park Commissioners. A glance at the | distorted and horror-inspiring carving is | enougn to convince anyoody that even if | the thing did not possess the power to | wreck lives and bomes, 1t ought to. Just what it 1s, or what it was ever intended to represent, not even tlie museum cura- torsare able to divine. In appearance it resembies an over-grown toad, possessed of a dragon-like head, and asnout tha: belongs to the family of swine. Clutcaed Letween the two fore-legs, or tentacles, or fins—or whatever they are—is the figure | in miniature of a human being; and from the expression of this nance and the agonizing twistof its limbs, it is plain to the beholder that it is not de- lighted with its job. The record of this ruin-tracked reiic of north-coast barbarity certainly entitles it | to the championship title in the “hoodoo’ class. Woerever it has gone disaster and désolation Liave been r.fe. The quesiion now is, What next? To one Hans Anderson, an unscropulous and sacrilegious follower of the sea, is at- trivuted much woe of the past thirty years. This Hans Anderson was a trader who plied the Pacific Coast three decades ago. One evii moment be directed his vessel toward Queen Charlotte Island on the British Columbian coast. The Indiane on the isiand were at that time peaceable enough. but knew naught of civilization. They were idol-worshipers like all of the tribes that iuhabited the northwestern country. Aunderson invaded one of the | villages, ostensibly to do rome smali trad- ing with the Indians, but with the real heart of a pirate. Awailing a favorable opportunity he and his men on a dark ) night raided one of the native temples, if such they could be called, and carried away everything of value and everything | that even looked valuable. Then came | the retreat to the ship and a hasty setting of sail. Among the articles carried away from the temple was the hideous carving that is now ensconced in the park museum. The theit of this idol was particularly be- | reaving to the Queen Charlotte Isiand na- | tives and exasperating as well. While the | sails of Anderson’s craft were still sil- houstted against the horizon the medi- cine men or priests were called out and in the presence of the enraged popuiace t through a series of weird incanta- tions, the meaning of which was, so the strange story goes, that for ages to come |a terrible curse and the worst of luck would pursue those who should become possessed of that cherished but ugly image. ‘What happened ? vper Anderson sailed down to Van- | Gouver and t:ere died in horrible agony from convulsions. He had owed a debt to the captain of the sealing schooner O. F. Fowler, and in tiqmidation of that obliga- tion most of the deceased’s possessions fell into the bands of the creditor, among them being that wali-eyed and chill-in- spiring idol. The O. F. Fowler was as stanch a crait asever sallea the main, but she could not sail with thai *‘hoodoo’ aboard. The very first vovage she at- tempted with itas a passenger ended in disaster. She was crushed on the rocks and the captain and several of the crew were lost. But the “hoodoo” lived. Along with the wreckage it floated ashore. It was picked up by a fisherman whodied a wrek later from brain fever. In some way or other the idol got into the hands of some whalers, who brouzht it to San Francisco and sold it to Robert Llewelyn, who at that time—this was about twenty years ago—was wealthy and prosperous and known and liked by everybodyv. *Bob,’’ as he was familiarly known alonz the idol that was re- image’s counte- | water front, never suspected the evil spell | that possessed the curiosity, even when, year ufter year, all sorts of financial re- verses beset him and he saw his fortune awindling away. He finally jound himself poor, and ovened a litile saloon with the hope of at least keeping the woif from the door, and all these years he never parted with the Indian idol. Ths climax came less than ayear ago w en poor Liewelyn fell down a flight of stairs and sustained injuries which caused his death. In the disposal of Liewelyn's effects it bappened 10 be the misfortune ot John Coyne, the tinsmith and plumber, whose place of business is at 32 Clay stree, to be the purchaser of the cursed idol. Coyne is alive yet, but he attributes his salvation only to the fact that he opvortunely got rid of the “hoodoo,” and that was only a fortnight ago. During tbe interim—that is, the period of his possession of the image—he had all kind of bad luck. Wby, do vou know,” saia Mr. Coyne yesterday, “‘while 1 had that confounded thing in ‘my possession, my business went to absolute rack and ruin. Believe me, I could not gat a thing to do, I couidn’t seil anything and I began to think seriously of ciosing up my shop for good. That idol sat up on a shelf and seemed to grin all the broader the worse my luck grew. Finally Itook it down and stowed it away in a littie closet under the stairs, where T change my clothes. And do you know, I went in there one day, and bless me if I didn’t see a wild-eyed Indian chief stand- ing right beside that idol. But I am thanking my lucky stars that 1 got rid of itat last. I am satisfied that it is to blame | for all of my bad luck. John Bardwell purchased it from me and I tell you itisa good thing for him that he got it off his hands right away. 1 felt sorry for those folks out at the park. What do you sup- pose has happened since I got rid of that | thing? Why, Ihave more business than | Lcan attend to. I have sold a dozen big | ranges and have to refuse orders for work. | Inever was so prosperous before in my life.” That's the story of the ““hoodoo.” Peo- ple who visit the park from now on need not be surprised if their buttons pop off their clothes, 1f they stub their toes, slide on banana peels, or get knocked over by bicycles. It will be the work of that idol. PROMISCUOUS BITER. Jumbo, a Vicious Dog, Ordered to Be Shot.

P.wer May Be Carried Through Los Gatos as Far as Aviso The train from this City to San Jose this morning will carry with it a party of ten engineers, or more properly, an engi- neering party of ten. The party will be led by R. Leo Van der Naillen. Its mis- sion is of the highest interest and import- ance to San Jose, Los Gatos, Alviso and their neighbors. Speaking of the enterprise yesterday Mr. Van der Naillen said: “We will gostraight to Madrone by train, being joined at San Jose by certain of the capitalists who form the company, one of whom no doubt will be John Ryland, banker and large holder in the water company and who has been one of the principals in the movement. They will lead us to the point, on the Los Gatos Creek I believe it is, irom which we are expected to operate. We take with us a full equipment of instruments for mak- ing compiete tests of aunospheric and other conditions. Qur first purpose is to determine the horsepower that may be | developed by tue natural or artificially combined streams of the mountains. We g0 just at this time to get the streams at their best, enjoying the spring flood. The plan is 1o discover means ol turning the lesser streams into the greater by means of flumes or pipes and thus augmenting the volume. We will measure the horse- power of ihe sireams as they are and as they may be strengthened as described. “‘Thbe loss of conducting electricity for long distances is a prime factor in any problem of this kind. This is affected very greatly by the atmospheric condi- tions. To gauge these we shall run two lines of wire and, by means of what is £nown as the Wheatstone system and the use of the Hashlight galyonometer, get the insulating conditions of the atmosphere at the highest altitude. This will give us the practical loss of energy in the trans- mission over a given distance. If it is found possible and leasible the wire: and power will be carried to Alviso, where shipping facilities by water may be had.” TO CULE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take iazative BromoQuinine Tablets.

Two Relay Riders Said Not to Be Members of the Protesting C ub. THE WINNERS RFJOICE OVER VICTORY. Sunday Track Racing Will Begin on the 18th Inst.—Entries to Close on the 10°h. In the midst of their jubilee over the winning of the big relay race and becom- ing the permanent owners of the Varney trophy, the victorious Bay Citys have found time to return the shot aimea at them by the disapnointed Olympic Club riders, and, unless the protest of the lat- ter orgasization be withdrawn, there is promise of a lively time in wheeling circles. To be brief the tune of the Bay Citys is this: **We may have been guilty of slight technical violations of the rules, though we deny ir, but if we were, there were others.” In fact the doughty winners of the cup say flatfooted tuat the O ympics were guiliy of far more flagrant violations of the rules than were they, and that under the circumstances the best course of the Olympics would have been silence. H. L. Day, captain of the Bay City Wheel- men, voices the feelings and words of his confreres in the following language: 1 am sorry that the Olympics have seen fit to siart & controversy of thiskind, for it will only re-ult in their being convicied of far more glaring violations of the rules than any ¢ that participated.

They say that they don’t waut the cup. I suppose they | would hand it back ta us if they should suc- | ceed in haviog us disqualificd; but you may | believe that we would not accept it under such | circumstances. We want rnothing that we cannot aud do not win on our merits. In contrast here is the conduct of the Olym- pics. They had two men and perhaps thiree | who were not regular membars of their c.ub | and had no right to ride in the race. Tne Olympic Club is a corporation and 1ts consii- tution and by-laws prescribe how members shall be elected. Simply because men wear the Olympic Club emblem and have the privi- lege of using tie Oivmpic Club rooms does | not make them mem bers. Cook, who rode tne second relay for them, was never elected a member of (hc club nor passed on by the ndvisory election commitiva, nor was Wing, who took the lasi relay. We can prove that they were not Olympic Club members. The rules of the race were explicit on the | point of membership. It was tne same way | 1wo years ago when Edwards, who haa been a | member but ten deys, rode his rela We try to be sportsmen and 1o ride mani races, and we shall continue to do so, no mai- ter what may be said or done by disgruntled clubs. Chairman Adams of the road racing committee of the California Associated Cycling Clubs left the City yesterday for Chico on a short business trip. Before going he stated thatas soon as he re- turned he would tuke upthe matter of the protests of the Olympic Club Wheel- men and the Reliance Club Wheelmen to the awarding of the trophy to the Bay City Wheelmen, the winners. He also s tatea that as president of the Olympic Club Wheelmen he shouid urge thatclub to withdraw its protest, and also felt confi- dent that the Reiiance Club would do the same. Nothing was to be gained, he said, by protesting and 10 him it seemed a very unsportmanslike proceeding. Meanwhile the Bay Citys have the cup, and have duly celebrated tue winning of it. It will e remembered that a large party ot Eastern professional track-racing men went East the morning of ihe reiay race. At theirrequest the result of the race was wired to them and the telegram caught the train at F mo. In the even- ing the Bay Citys received the following reply: ‘“Congratulations from all on board. Bay Citys forever.” The club has several members now resi- dent in the East, all of whom were wired the result of the event and telegraphed congratulatory messages in return. One of the most enthusiastic, H. A. Go/ldard now situated in Toronto, Canada. wires “Well, Great Scott. Hurrah. Hurroo. There is = man in Toronto who is setting them up.” The club on the night of the race sent the following letter to thé Acme Club Wheelmen of Oakland, which was person- ally siened by fifty-eight members: Greetings from the Bay City Wheelmen to the only team we feered in the country,and the only team with a right to be with us at the finish that has not entered protest. President Swain of the associated clubs stated yesterday that, although the present series of relay races was ended by the Bay Citys winning the Varney trophy three times, it was more ihan likely that the associat.on itself wouid put up a trophy to be contestea for vearly, that the race might be perpetuated. The first attempt at Sunday track racing will be made on Aoril 18 unaer a sanction issued by the Californin Associated Cyciing Clubs to the Velodrome. The events and prizes will be as follow. One-half mile handicap, amateur; prizes, $25, §15, §7 50 and £5. Two-thirds mile nandicap, protessional; prizes, $40, $20 and $10. One mile open, professional; prizes, $40, $20 and $10.
