UNABLE TO APPEAR IN COURT. "Watd, Her Lover, Makes an In- effectnal Effort to Gain an Audience. REPORT THAT HE SKiPPED DENIED. Mrs. Banning, the Erring Woman's Mother, Will Arrive This Morn- ing From the South. | There will be a shifting of scenesin the | Bradbury-Ward elopement scandal this | morning and a new act wiil be essayed. | It might be appropriately referred to as | the “‘trial” scene. | Intbatdepartment of the police tribu- | nal presided over by Judge Low the name of Mrs. John Bradbury, the woman who forscok her millionaire husband and her palatial home in Los Angeles; and also | the name of H. Russell Ward, the old Lo- ‘thuriu with whom she levanted, will be | called out by the crier to-day with about ‘ as much compunction as would be the | case with any pair of ordinary criminals. | That is one of the unpleasant things about | stumbling into the hands of the authori- | ties. | Itisclaimed for Ward that he will re- spond to the summons in person. Garret McEnerney, who bas been retained to de- fend the Briton, is responsible for this promise, and Mr. McEnerney prides him- | seif on his ability to keep his word. ‘ But Mrs. Bradbury will not be there, and for tne truth of this assertion refer- ence must be made jointly to Attorney | Gavin McNab and Dr. McNutt. Mre. Bradbury is confined to her bed in | the Occidental Hotel, and Dr. McNutt says she is & very sick woman—a victim | of extreme nervous prostration and utter | collapse. | “Her cordition is the result of a pros- | trating reaction following upon a state of unnatural buoyancy,” is the way the physician expressed it yesterday. ‘and I would not be surprised if it is not many days before she can be really called her- self again. She needs rest, and consider- able of it. She must be kept absolutely quiet and mu-t not be excited, othaiwise am | there are apt to be serious’ results. | quite snre that she will not be able to go { to court to-morrow."” It was not until the early part of the | afternoon that Mrs Bradbury underwent this collapse. She did not arrive at the | hotel until quite late the night before ana | passed rather a restless night. Yet she seemed to be well enough yesterday morn- ing, except that she was apparently de- pressed and had lost much of that wonted | air of flippancy and carelessness so char- acteristic of her. She was quiet and sub- dued and what was the most unusual | about her she did not want to talk. ’ she sa:d, wearily, I think I have | already saia too much for my own good. { Ireally don’t wish to say anything more | for publication. This is all so terrible. I | feel as if 1 were going to be ill.”’ Three hours after this Dr. McNutt was jsummoned. He ordered the runaway wife to bed. She would have to have ab- solute quiet, Le decreed, and after that the apartments were barred to those who | sought to talk with ner. Sleep-producing potions were administered and the woman | who sought a romance, but found a night- | mare, was soon wrapped in a deep slum- | ber. “Of course, there will be nothing else for me to do but to ask Judge Low for a continuance,”” said Attorney McNab, who is to represent Mrs. Bradbury in the court proceedings, “and that will undoubtedly be done. am informed by Dr. McNutt that she is not in fit condition to leave her bed and may not be forseveral days. About Ward? Whny, I know nothing of him, and, furthermore, don’t wish to. I have been retained to simply look after Mrs. Bradbury’s interests, and they areall that are concerning me, 1 assure you. Ward will have to take care of himself so far as my connection with the case goes.” Mr. McNab’s remarks concerning Ward were doubtless the aftermath of an inter- view he had with Garret McEnerney. The latter gentleman, who is to defend Ward, called upon Mrs. Bradbury's counsel last night with the view of ascertainine whether or not it would be judicious to have the preliminary hearings of both of the elopers take place together or sep- arately. The fact of Mrs. Bradbury’siliness, however, put an end to all talk about a double hearing to-day. And in aadition 10 this it is understood that Mr. McNab was oppored to any such procedure, any- | how. It would appear that he intended | to handle the woman’s case alone from | the beginning, and probably for the rea- 5\"" that she wonld in that manner gain | more sympathy than she would if she should appear in court by the side of her paramour. There was a story afloat yesterday to | the effect that Ward had taken flight and that he would not be on hard when his presence would be desired in court this morning. But this is strenuously denied by tho-e who have undertaken to look after his interests. But at all events the man who so cruelly de- jserted his own wife and children !to run away with another man’s wife | kept himse!f shady throu-hout the day and did not have the pleasure of seeing his lady love—even if she had desired to see him, and 1t is said by those who are caring for her that she dis not, He did make one effort to have an audi- ence with her, quite early in the forenoon, but that was throuch a second person, and it failed utterly. Mrs, Bradbury was be- ing so closoly guarded that Ward’s mes- sage did not even reach her. After that the smooth-pated lover was not heard from again, at least not at the Occidental Hotel. He had a conference with his at- torney and then disappeared into se- clu:eon.d 5 “Ward as not run away yet and don’t think that there is any dyan‘er lhnIl he will,” said Mr. McEnerney last night. “You can bank on 1t that he will be in court to-morrow morning. 1 propose to ask that the examination be proceeded with immediately. I don’t think it wili last long, for in my opinion the charge will not stand.” The attorney would not divulge ths na. ture of the delense that would be a vanced, saying that the proceedings in court would disclose all that, Mrs. Norman Brough, at whose house Mrs. Bradbary found shelter, desired yes- terday to correct an impression that the pair had remained in her house asguests. | She said she received Mrs. Bradbury be- cause she was helpless, but that Mr. Ward was only there on sufferance for a few minutes, Mrs. Banning, the mother of Mrs. Brad- bury, did not arrive in this City yester- day as it was reporied she would. She was not able to leaye Los Angeles until yesterday forenoon, and will therefore not reach her daughter’s side until this morning. She has kept tbe wires busy, however, with inquiries re- garding the wayward one's condition, and with requests that she be given every care, and above all be kept away from the influence of Ward. Tonn Gaffev, Ward’s brother-in-law, is expected in from the south on the sama train, It is said that immediately after Mrs. Bradbury has been received back in:o the arms of her mother and has recovered suf- ticiently from her- 1ndisposition 1o under- take a journey a move will be made to have her case dismissed, in order that she might be taken away. It issaid further that should this plan succeed the old B:nn_ing home at Los Angeles will not be the immediate destination of the: little party. Something has been hinted about a long voyage to—well, to somewhere y from Keopla who have become fa- miliar with her shame and disgrace. This, with the hope that she will recover some of her wonted ease of mind and prepare herself for a new start in life. g COMING TO HER CHILD. Mrs. Bradbury’s Mother Left Los Angeles Yesterday Morning. LOS ANGELES, Can, July 5.—The knowing ones who predicted that Mrs. Jobn Bradbury would want to come home again soon will ~ay ‘‘[ told you so’”’ when they learn that the flighty beauty hassent a message of contrition to her motner, and asa result of this the latter, Mrs, Mary Banning, has with true maternal instinct hastened to join the erring one. On the 11:30 train for San Francisco to- day Mrs. Banning departed, accompanied by her maid, ticketed for San Francisco. They went to the station in a public ruruey, so as to avoid attracting attention, and members of the family will not admit that she has departed. It is known, how. ever, that Mrs. Banning will go to her pretiy and penitent daughter, who has, in her distress, with returning sense, ap- pealed to her best friend to do for her that which is best. It may not be that Mrs, Bradbury will return immediately to this city, but that she, with her mother as companion, will Ko to some seclusion where she can gradu- ally overcome at least the physicai effects of the deplorable escapade, WORK AT THE PERRIES Commissioner Chadbourne Has Taken the Contractors in Hand. Oaptain John Denhing Knocked Over- board From His Schooner and Drowned. Harbor Commissioner Chadbourne starts in to-day to camp on the trail of all the contractors engaged in the building of the new ferry depot. Since be and Major Harney took the matter in hand a few months ago wonderful progress has been made, but the Commissioners want to see even greater efforts put forth. “Superintendent Robinsou and myself are going to camp right on the ground,” said Commissioner €Chadbourne yesterday, “and if we don’t have the building ready for occupancy by December then I am mistaken as to the amount of work that can be got out of a man when he is com- pelled to work, 2 The money for the completion of the building is lying idle in S8acramento, keep- ing the hundreds of idle men in the City company as Iar as its earning capacity is concerned. Tne Commitsioners want to double forces of men at work and the money thus put into circuiation. Itis with this object iu view that Colonel Chad- bourne is gzoing to personally supervise the work of the contractors and see to it that every man who can be profitably em- ployed be put to work. The work of repsiring the ship Commo- dore that was burnt in the Folsom-streat fire is rapidly progressing. The fore and main masts have been taken out and new topsides put in. Only one spar conld be found in the City, so the mainmast has to spliced with pieces from the foremast and the new spar will be turned into a fore- mast. The mizzen-mast is intact. It is estimated that the cost of repairing the vessel will be at least $10,000. The repairs are being rushed as the vessel is under charter to load sugar in Honolulu for New York, and has to be in the former place before the middle of next month. Every vessel in port was decorated yes- terday. American vessels that did not fly their bunting Sunday had it out yester- day, and they made a fine showing. Every British vessel in port and the Jap- anese cruiser Heiyei were gayly decked for the occasion, and what with the flags oun the warehouses along the front the har- bor presented & very handsome appear- ance. The new Receiving Hospital on the water front was kept busy yesterday. James Granam, a teamster, who lives on Lombard street, was taken with an epi- leptic fit while driving a soda-water wagon and was at once removed to the hospital. Herallied under Dr. Hartley’s treatment, but half an hour later had an- other attack and died. He was removed to_the Morgue. 3 ‘Walter Kelson, who lives at 222 Ritch street, was a Fourth of July victim. The boy was firing off a small cannon, and when it failed to go off as quickly as be expected examination was in order. Walter’s right hand was dressed b{ Dr. Hartley, and he is now a» sadder buta wiser boy. Captain_ John Denhing of the scow schooner Lawrence and William met with a very sudden death yesterlay morning. The little vessel was on her way from Broadway wharf to Redwood City and a stiff breeze was blowing on the bay. Sud- denly the vessel j.bed, and the main boom flying over knccked the captain into the bay. He never came to the surface again, and Mate Olaf Peterson had to take the boat to an anchorage. The deceased leaves a widow, who lives at 1 Beale place. Harry Wilmont, a colored sailor on the British ship Andelana, was lock~d up in the Harbor Pulice station yesterday on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. He cut John Taylor, another colored sailor, with a razor during a row while the vessel was iying at the rolling-mills. OHARGED WITH BURGLARY. William Hamliiton, an ex-Messenger Boy, Gone the Way of Many Others. William Hamilton, an ex-messenger boy, 20 years of age, was booked at the City Prison last night by Policemen Ryan and O'Dea on the charee of burglary. He roomed at 308 Sutter street, and it is alleged he entered the room of M. Wise- man last Friday and stole an overcoat valued at $55 and a pair cf gioves. The overcoat was pawned at Coleman’s, on Thira street, for $2 and the officers recov- ered it. From the de:cription of the man who pawned it they arresteu Hamilton and he was identified by the pawnbroker. —————— A Badly Cut Nose. Mrs. Mary Bradford, 303 Ninth street, hed her nose badly cut last night. Her husband came home drunk and, picking up a glass fruit dish. threw it at her, striking he> on the face and cutting her nose. Sne was treated at the Recelving Hospital. (o .

His Friends Say That in the End All Will Be Righted for Him, E, B. Pond and Jose Oastro Are Will- ing to Qualify When Federal Officials Say So. Ex-Collector 0. M. Welburn spent an- other day in jail, despite all the promises of himself and iriends that yesterday would see him released and with his family. It was not the fault of his attor- neys. They were as wide awake for their client’s welfare as lawyers usuaily are, but, as they said last night, a combina- tion of circumstances interfered with their vlans. ‘Welburn hopes to be released from jail to-day. Heis confident he has asufficient number of friends in the town to come to his rescue. One of these 1s E. B. Pond, who is one of his bondsmen as Collector of Internal Revenue, and is now willing to go the ex-official’s bond 1n his present predicament. Mir. Pond volunteered yes- terday to go Welburn’s bond for $5000, as fized by United States Commissioner Heacock on the day of the ex-Collector’s arrest. Pond called at the office of At- torney Gavin McNab yesterday ana signi- fied his intention and willingness to be one of two bondsmen for the culprit, as required by the Federal statutes. There were present four or five of the intimate friends of the ex-Collector. They discuysed the situation, and owing to the fact that it was a holiday they were una- ble to secure the prescnce of any repre- sentative of United States District Attor- ney Foote, who is now in Santa Cruz. Assistant District Attorney Bert Schles- singer had volunteered his services to ap- prove any good bond that might be offered, but when the_cards were counted it was fouad that the United States Com- missioner was absent. Welburn's friends and attorneys say that to-day he will be a free man. spent yesterday in the County Jail as ner- vous a prisoner as ever paced s corridor. He had still the same persistert denial of his own guilt. He was confident that when the investigation of the Treasury agerts had been c.mpleted, he would be exonerated on all charzes of defalcation. Still this man who could not get a bond on a holiday told people yesterday that he was the victim of the machinations of other people. He still claims the atories that have been printed of his high life in the half world are due to veople who want to rain him. In this he iy unique. He has nothing to say of hisdead cashier's defalcations. In his own words, “‘the less said about that the better.”” He believes in his heart that Norton in his carousals sometimes took his name. “I have an instance in view,” he said. “At one time the captain of the life-saving station at Sutro’s baths came to me and told me I was living too fast. He told me that the preceding night 1 had had a pay old time. It happened that that nightI had spent my time with my family. That captain is now purser on one of the Pana- ma steamers, and I am not able to find him in my own troubles. Butin the end all will come right.” At a late hour last night Welburn bad secured the necessary bondsmen. Jose Castro had offer d to qualify witn Mr. Pond. It is presumed that all the ex- Collector's bondsmen will wilhngly see bim through his troubles for a paltry $5000. Special Agent Thrasher does not like the situation. Itisrumored that he has discoyered evidence that will implicate Welburn in other transactions. A BARE BODKIN. Annie Smith, Who Had Been Celebrat- ing, Stabbed a Waiter With Her Hatpin. Annie Smith and her sister May were arrested at an early hour yesterday morn- ing by Policemen McEntee and Reardon on the charge of disturbing the peace. Shortly afterward Aannie had an addi- tional charge of assault with a deadly weapon booked against her. Annie and her sister were celebrating the Fourth with two young maie friends, and on the way to their home at 478 Jessie street they went into the Baltimore Restaurant on Sixth street to have their supper. They had been drinking sherry and felt in a merry humor. Annie com- wmenced to sing, which aroused the ire of a lady in the adjoining box, and she called Annie an offensive name. Annie went (o the adjoining box and she and the lady had some angry words. A waiter, Thom: Zernanas, pushed Annie away and he alieges she stabbed him in the shoulder with a long hatpin she held in her hand. He notified the police after Annie's arrest for disturbing the peace, and the additional charge was registered against her. About the same time Annie’s mother went to the Southern police station to see her daughiers, and she was arrested for being under the in- fluence of Liquor. About three months ago Judge Camp- bell sentenced a woman to six months in the County Jail for a similar offense. COURSING AT INGLESIDE.

He | "WANG” IN [T WEEK New Attractions for Play- Lovers at the Various Theaters. “A Victim of Circumstances” Makes Its Debut at the Alcazar, Good Vaudeville Prognmnrle at the Orpheum—* Captain Paul” at Morosco's. " 3 “A Victim of Circumstances” is about the best the Alcazar management has put on to precede that realistic little play, “The First Born.” ‘A Victim of Circumstances” is ons of those complicated bits of nonsense whose sole aim is to amuse; a purpose it most happily fulfills, The little farce served io introduce two of the members of the new stock com- pany—Miss Seline Johnson, the new lead- ing lady, and George Trader, juvenile. Miss Jonoson is a tali, handsome woman who wears stunning gowns, and will doubtless shine when she is given a genuine obportunity. This week is to be the last of the Chinese drama. The Orpheum programme this week is unusually rich in the good things the vaudeville stage affords. T. W. Eckert and Emma Berg have ‘‘caught on” in their refifed lyric sketch, *““Maser and Pupil.”” Cairn and Herbert, the acrobatic team, are quite the cleverest of the many clever people the Orpheum has presented during the season. Imogene Comer, Lew Dockstadter and Smith and Fulier ado to the generasl excellence of a variea pro- gramme. “Wang,”” with Edwin Stevens in the title role, continues to please the many patrons of the Tivoli. The oper: in its last sweek, and will be sunceeded next week by “The 1sle of Champagne.” “Shenandoah,”” with its patriotic senti- ments, made a fitting holiday attraction at the Columbia yesterday afternoon and evening. The play was produced with the same cadt as appeared in the recent pro- duction at the theater. The Frawley com- pany will to-night and for the remainder of the week be seen in “The Two Es- cutcheons.” The Baldwin had two good houses yes- terday, “The Prisoner of Zenda” being the attraction. The demand for the “Prisomer of | Zenda” has been so heavy that the play will be repeated twice next week. This evening “The Mayflower” will be presented, with Mr. Hackett and Miss Maunnering in the leading characte The people of San Francisco have already shown their expectation of a good play by their generous booking of seats for the remainder of the week. No more stirring piece could have been chosen for “Fourtn of July” than “‘Captain Paul,” the naval melodrams, presented to big houses at the Grand Opera-house both last night and yesterday afternoon. The scenic effects form a most important factor in the story of the play. The great scene is in the third sct, which opens on the deck of the Irigate Raoger, Captain Paul’s ship. The costuming of the piece is very ef- fective. The leading part of Captain Paul is played by Mortimer Snow who invests it with a satis- {actory romantic interest and strength. Maud Edna Hall, too, has & pretty part, although Captain Paul is the most interesting figure of the evening. Both W.F. Strong and Ulrie B. Collins made a decided impression. Strong played the part of a bluff seaman and was ap- lsuded frequently for his excellent Wan. Mr. Collins had & thankless part as a titled schemer and e villaio. Miss Rosella La Faille made her initial bow 1o the audiences of the Grand as s beautiful girl, second only in interest to Miss Hall. Miss La Frille not only looked the part, but acted it. Her costuming was very striking. This was true of Lorena Atwood also. Miss Atwood was the “villainess” and was a beautiful ana uvatural one. The work of both Landers Stevens and Fred Butler was worthy of com- mendation, Butler looked particularly well in the tights and elaborate coats of a gentle- man of France. Leslic Morosco and Virginia Juckson msde the most of small parts th served to lighten up the intensity of the more dramatic incidents. Adgle, the dancing girl, and her troupe of perjorming lions are the reigning sensation at the Chutes, and their exhibitions every aiter- noon and evening at the Chutes Free Theater serve to pack the commodious auditorium to its utmost capacity. Maeder's musical mari. onettes and a number of clever vocalists con. clude the bill. The animatoscope is an extra feature at night. TAR ON THE FLOOR. Some Boys Apparently Wished te Fire an Old Building on Channel Street. Some boys who were playing near an old vacant building on Channel street, near Fourteenth, last night, informed William Burns, the foreman of Engine- house 29, that two young men were at- tempting to set fire to the building. Burns went to 1he place and made an investiga- tion. He found that some one had poured liquid tar on the floor of the building with the evident intention of starting. a fire. He telephoned to the Seventeenth-strest police station and Captain Gillin detailed three men to look into the matter. ‘When the officers arrived there they found a crowd of boys building a bonfire in the vicinity and placed two of the older ones under arrest. The iads were taken to the station and questioned. No infor- mation that would throw any light on the attempt to fire the building was elicited, and it being apparent that the boys had nothing to do with it they were allowed to go home. The building 1s falling into decay, all the doors and windows having been re- moved. It had formerly been used as a iuse factory, but bhas been vacant for about five months. It is the property of John Center. NEW TO-DAY. $1000¢2° for good word-guessers. Get Schilling's Best tea at your grocer’s; save the yellow ticket; guess the missing word.

Last fall T went to a doctor who was recommended to me as a good one and with quite a r:qutmon, He gave me medicines for nearly six weeks, and I got no benefit that he had been wing could see. A friend of mine called one evening and told me RIPANS TABULES for & short time and had never found anything that helped his stomach and liver troubles as much as they did. He handed me a circular about them, which I read, and concluded that they were just what I needed and would fit my case m{:dy. I went over to the drug store and got a 50-cent box of them, out of which I took two a day for awhile, and within three days noticed and felt much improvement. That was about the middle of December. Last February I got another box of the Tabules and took part of them only, as I was feeling so much better that I didn't think I needed any more. I now feel no pain whatever in my stomach, liver and bowels active and regular, and eat like & well man should eat.
