So the family conciuded she had gone iuto the country and gave up the search. The next time they saw her was when they found her | lifeless body at the City Hall. | William Carr, a night watchman, testi- fied that from his investigations, made just after the findinz of the body, be 1s| satistied that Mrs. Gehrig could not have hanged herself.

One witness claimed that abour 11 o’clock Thursday night he saw a man and woman passing along Pine street toward the woodshea, bui he did not watch to see whether they entered it. He was not able to give any description of the couple. The interest of the peovle here in tne case continues to increase hourly. For three hours to-night hundreds of people fought and struggled to get into | the stuffy little room where the inguest was in progress. At 11 o'clock one of the | local evening papers got out an extra, | siving a detailed account of the testi | mony, and at midnight the streets are tery, which deepens with each new de- velopment. el T REUNITED IN PORTLAND. Husband Reconciled to the Wife Had Left H.s Siskiyou County Homs, PORTLAND, OrE., May 29.—This morn- ing's train from the sout: brought to Poruand A. Brady, a hotel-keeper of Scotts Bar, Siskiyou County, Cal. Mrs. Orpha Brady was intercepted by Detective Welsh resterday morning on an unknown charge and detained upon thesupposition that an officer from Siskiyou County would come to-day and explain the situation, To the surprise of the heads of the police depart- ment, Brady was not accompanied by an officer of the county in which he lives, but by Hon. E. H. Autenrieth, a lawyer of Northern California. The latter gentle- man was not disposed to say much with reference to his mission, beyond that Brady desired the custody of the eldest two children now with their mother, und that he was willing she should retain the younger. The fact is that Mrs. Brady, her children and the woman’s companion, *“Bob” Mc- Caully, were held here without any pro- cess of law. . Mrs. Brady denies all charges of infidel- ity, and says that ber husband drove her from home last Sunday, giving her only $100 wherewith to provide for herself and children. It was Brady’s lawyers intention to wrest two of the children from the mother by & writ of habeas corpus if moral sua- sion failed, but upon Brady’s arrival this morning he was absolutely prostrated. A meeting of husband and wife was arranged for this afternoon and it was a heart-rend- ing one. Both wept, and in a few mo- ments they embraced each other. The services of the lawver were discontinued, and the reunited couple with their chil dren left for home to-night. # —_— Sonema Winery Burned. SONOMA, CaL, May 20.—A fire broke out this morning between 3 and 4 o'clock in the winery of J. Chilini, a fruit dealer of 8an Francisco. Owing to the lack of water the wine-cellar and a windmill which stood by were destroyed. The ioss is $1500, with light insurance. Tue blaze Who betongs to the gallant soldier. In many ways he reminds the reader of onme of Dumas’ heroes. The story of his life was written for his wife, but it was given to the world by his son as an invaluable con- tribution to the history of Ireland. Tone was practically the founder of the Irish separatist movement. He did not believe in mere legislative independence. To build up a free Irish State was the object of nis life. He sought colleagues and comrades in Belfast, the capital of Ulster, then the hotbed of treason, and he found them. A Protestant bimself, he brought Catholic and Protestant togetber and impressed upon all who came under the sphere of his influence the necessity of united ac- tion again -t the common enemy. There was to be but one creed—Irish nationality —and one class—rebels against the British | rule. The Society of United Irishmen was founded in Belfast and soon made recruits in Leinster, Munster and Connaught Among the most interesting paris of his story are his recitals as to the state of Ulster toward the end of the eighteenth century. The Protestants were ripe for rebellion, and we can understand, there- fore, why the Protestant Irish in the colonies as well as tne Catholic Irish gave Washington such a cordial support. Tone kept on the high road to rebellion all the time and he strengthened the waverers. He was obliged at length to leave [reland and he sought the United States, and the voyage across was full of adventure, in that the vessel had to run the gauntlet of English cruisers. in the Unitea States he planned anew, and finally sailed for France to persuade the Directory to dispatch a fleet and army to Ireland to help theUnited Irishmen in overthrowing the Government of Eng- land. His success with the Directory won the admiration of Wellington. “Wolfe Tone,” says the Duke, “was a most extraordinary man, and his history is the most curious history of those times With 100 guineas in his pockst, unknown and unrecommended, he went to Paris in order to overthrow the British Govern- ment in Ireland. He asked for a large force, Lord Edward Fitzgerald for a small one. They listened to Tone, and the Bantry Bay axpedition was the result.” Tone returned with the Bantry Bay ex- pedition. But the elements fought for England and the French fleet was scat- tered by the winds. Tone did not despair. He persuaded the Directory to send another and yet an- other expedition. Both failed. A fourth and last sailed from Brest in September, 1798. It consisted of a fleet of onesailof the line—the Hoche, seventy-four guns—eight frigates and one schouner, under command of Admiral Bompard, and an army of 3000 men under General Hardy. Tone was on board the admiral’s ship, the Hoche. On October 10 Bompard arrived off the entrance of Lougn Swilly and was signaled from the shore. At daybreak next morning a British squadron, consist- ing of six sail of the line, one razee (sixty guns) and two frigates, under command of Sir John Warren, hove in sizht. Bompard signaled the Frencn frigates and the schooner to retreat and c'eared the deck for action. A boat from one of the French vessels came alongside the Hoche for port orders. The French offi- cers gathered around Tone and urged him to escape. “The combat is hopeless,” they said, “‘we shall be prisoners of war, but what wiil become of you?” He answered: *'Shall it be said that I fled when the French were fighting the battles of my country? No, Ishall stand by my ship.’ The British bore down on the Hoche, surrounding the French ship, but Bom- pard na: ~d his colors to the mast and for six hours stvod the combined fire of the English ship-. Her mests were dismantled, her rigging was swept away, the scuppers flowed with blood, the wounded filled the cockpit. At length, with yawning ribs, with five feet of water in the hold, her rudder carried away, her sails and cordage hanging in shreds, her batteries dismounted and ev- ery gun silenced, she struck. Tone com- manded a battery and fought like a lion. The Hoche was towed into Lough Swilty and the prisoners lanuded and marched to Letterkenny. Tone was taken to Dublin loaded with irons. The end soon came. He was tried by court-martial and sen- is supposed to have been started by trampe, 1 tenced to be banged, Ho askea to be shot | i l | sale, as Prior had obtained a judgment | against Robert Flint for $113,000, a few | months ago.
