14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALi, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1897. FOND IN A LONEL CANYON Sudden Death of J. J, 0’Brien VW iile Out Hunting for Deer. HEART FAILURE THE CAUSE. It Is Believed That Over-Exer- tion Led to the Fatal Result, WIDE REGRET IN THIS CITV. A Brief History of the Honorable| Life of One of Nature's Noblemen. LAKEPORT, CAn, July 16 —J. J. O’Brien, the head of the well-known dry- goods firm of J. J. O'Brien & Co. of San Francisco, who, with his family, arrived at Highlands Springs a few days since for when he left it and began :o climb & mu! through dense and heavy brusb. s About thirty yards from the foot of this | hill he was. found dea !, his hand grasping a bush as though he had taken hold of it to pull himself up a steep incline. 1 Coroner Mathews went there from Lake- port to-day and took charge of the re- | mains. Dr. Kellogg made a post-mortem | examination and pronounced the cause of | death to be heart disease. The jury | returned « verdict to this effect. It is supposed Mr. O’Brien took a wrong direction, and upon discovering his mis- | take became nervous and prostrated, and in his anxiety to find his way out over- exeried himself, thus bringing on the | | attack which produced death. When { found his clothing was wringing wet With | perspiration, and the fact that he bhad | traveled through forests and dense brush | and rocky creek beds would indicate that he had become anxious and worried. The remains were sent to San Francisco | to-day for interment. His family leit the springs last night on their way home, with the exception of hisson, who had | been at Bartleit Springs and who came | over to-day on his way to San Francisco, J. J. O’Brien was born in 1842. at Boher- law, a small town near the city of Conmel, | County Tipperary, Ireland. W..en about 20 years of age he went to Dublir, where | he worked in dry-goods stores for five years. From here e went to Liverpool, | engaging in_the same business. He was | an ardent Irish sympathizer, and while | ther~ became implicated in the conspiracy of 1867, and was oblig-d 1o leave the country. He came 1o San Francisco, and | in November of 1868 staried in thedry- | goods business, opening a small store on | Third street. Increasing business com- pelled him .to seek more commodious guarters, so he moved his stock to a store on Market street, where the Crocker build- g now stands. Success followed him; | | these rooms became too small and he | | changed 1o the Arcade, next 1o tne Bald- win. Here he remamned for eleven years, 10 1835 he took possession of the present | quarters of the firm in the Murphy build- | ing, where a large business bLus been car- | | ried on. In all his business transactions Mr. | O’ Brien was thoroughly honest, and those | | with whom he became associated in & | business way bud the utmost respect for | l him and confidence as to his intezrity. 1 POISONED HER BABE AND DIED 'Mrs. Gould Commits Sui- cide After Attempt- ing Murder.

The party was unsuccessful and started on their re‘urn | about 2P. M. About 4 o’clock, when about two or three miles from the springs, Mr. O’Brien sat down to tie his shoelace, the others continuing on the trail. Craig went to the foot of the mountain, where they had left their wagon, and waited there for O'Brien, who, like himself, was afoot. The others being mounted went on to the hotel, had their supper and returned | 10 learn what was keeping their com- panion.

An alarm was sounded from box 46 at 11 o’clock last_evening for & biaze, caused by & defective electric wire, in the basement of Wilson’s restaurant, 120 Post street. Thel damage was slight. to kill her infant, azed three weeks, by giving it a dose of carbolic acid mixed with milk. Mrs. Gould has not been well since the birth of h-r youngest child three weeks ago, though this morning when her hus- band left for the City she was apparently quite bright and in good spirits. She must have bezun Ler preparations for sui- cide soon after he left. Early in the fore- noon she sent her two other children, aged 2)4 and 5 years respectively, to play at the bay shore, with a little girl named Gertie Fm;;nan, who had been staying with the iounlds. Mrs. Gould told the children when they came back to come into the nouns- quietly, soas not to waken her anu the baby, as they wouid be asleep. She then wrote a letter of farewell to her husband, saying that she intended to take her own life, as she couid not bear the burden of it any longer. Sue said that no one was to blame but herself and begged him to take good care of the children. She must then have mixed a dose of the acid with milk and given it to the baby, atter which she swal. lowed a dose herself and laid down on the bed to die, _The children returned after a while, and finding the house quiet the Huttman girl went into the bedroom and saw Mrs. Gould lying undressed in_ bed and with her lips covered with a white foam. An emnpty bottle that had contained carbolic acid was by her side. The baby lay close by, with her mouth burned with the deadly fluid. Ti.ealarm was at once given and neigh- bors came 1n, while Dr. W. O. 8mith was sent for. When he arrived i was too late to do anything to aid the mother, hut remedies were given the child and itis possible that it may recover. The tact that the mother mixed the poison with milk goes far to encourage this belief. In- aeed, that is all that saved the life of the infant. The husband was at once sent for and hurried home. He was grief-stricken and said that h+ was entirely unable to ac- count for his wife’s terrible deed, had lived hanpily and she had always ap- peared contented. The neighbors, too, say that it was to all appearances a happy family. The only explanation is that the poor woman was suffering from the effects o puerperal fever and committed the deed while insane from that cause. An inquest will be beld to-morrow. A CRISIS 15 NEAR AT HAND Latest News From the Bed- side of Colonel Charles Crocker, A QUESTION OF HOURY A Turn for Better or Worse Expected Some Time To-Day. THE ARRIVAL OF GEORGE CROCKER. He Beat All Previous Records in the Run From Ogden West. SAN MATEO, Caw, July 16.—Colonel Crocker’s condition to-night is very criti- cal and his physicians are momentarily expecting a pronounced turn for better or for worse. The four doctors, after consulting as usual this evening, announced that the colonel was approaching a crisis, and that, while the case was extremely serious, there was a ighting chance for life. The following statement was given out by one of the physicians immediately after the consultation: ~The patient is now in the midst of 2 hard battle, and the issue will be deter- mined one way or another before long. ‘We are in accord in considering that he has a fighting chance for life and do not by any means surrender hope. Consider- ing that one week has elapsed now since he received the first stroke, which was nearly as serious a one, and that he still displays remarkable vitality, we hold that there 1s a chance that he may pull through, * The hopeful aspect of the case is that he has beld his own since this hour last night. While his pulse 1s rapid it is not tumulituous. He is able to take some nourishment. He is more conscious of what is going on than most of those who have been at his beds de ymagime. This evening, wnen asked, ‘Colonel, does your nead ache? he made no artioulate re- sponse. When he was asked to place his hand on his head if it ached he raised his nand and placed it on his forehead. We recognize that the patient is sufficiently conscious to be susceptible to an at- mosphere of apprehension concerning his condition.” George Crocker arrived at San Mateo at 10:40 this mornine after a ride across the mountains from Ogden to San Francisco behind a special engine in the quickest time ever made in the history of the rood. The time from Oxden to Oukland mole was just twenty hours and twenty-one minutes, some two hours quicker than the time muadé by William H. Crocker on his record-breaking run over the same route last Saturday and Sunday. George Crock- er was near Ogden yesterday when Dr. Gardner’s announcement .of the serious- ness of Co'onel Crocker's illness caused General Manager Fillmore to send on word to have a special train to bring him on from Ozden. The special left Ogden yesterday at12:49 and at 9:10 this morning it arrived at Oak- land pier. The 744 miles from Oazden to Sacramento was made in 18 hours, and & couple of hours later the train pulled into the mole. The time made on the run broke the record made by the famous Jarrett & Palmer train, twenty-one years sgo, and also that made less than a week ago by Will Crocker. ! The speclal which brought the sick man’s brother over the coast division brought besides George Crocker General Manager J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific and Henry T. Scott, Between 10:40, when the special arrived, and 11:30, when it left again for the City, Manager Fillmore paid a hurried visit to Uplands. A. C. Bassett and N. T. Smith of the railroad company had called to in- quire for the colonel earlier in the morn- ing, arriving at San Mateo at 8 o’clock and leaving an hour later. Barly in the afterncon William H. Crocker seemed to have little hope for his brother’s recovery. He stated that the colonel was gradually sinking and that he had not been conscious since last night. Later this evening, however, be had re- covered confidence to some extent aiter hearing the somewhat encouraging report of the doctors, “My brother will live through the night at least,” he declared hovefullz. At 10 o’clock last night Henry T. Scott, Russell J. Wilson and Charles Green left the house at Uplands for the nignt. They felt that a gain had been made in the con- dition of the patient. Among the phy- sicians attending the patient Dr. Chis- more is not the Jeast hopeful. He main- tains that he has known men to recover whose chances seemed less hopeful. Two boiies of Bcottish Rite Masonry, of which Colonel Crocker is grand master in California, Yerba Buena Lodge of Perfec- tion and Yerba Buena Chapter, Knights Rose Croix, met last evening and passed resolutions of sympathy for the sick man, and expressed the nope for his speedy re- covery. DEATH OF FRANOIS A. ORAMER. The Retired Me:chant Died at the Ger- man Hospital Yesterday Morning. Francis A. Cramer, a retired merchant of this City, died at the German Hospital at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. Last November Mr. Cramer was prostrated by a stroke of pa ralysis while reclining on a lounge in the Bohemian Club. He railied from the effects of the stroke and was able to leave his residence and come downtown daily for several months. A iew weeks since a general breakinz down of his bodiiy health and a weakening of his mental faculties were observed, and he was sent to the German Hosr{iul. Mr. Cramer was born in amburg, Germany in 1824 and was consequently 73 years of age. He traveled in various regions of the world and was engaged in mercantile pursnits in several cities. In 1875 he came to San Francisco. For many vears he was a member of the firm of Montealegre & Co. importers of coffee, spices and (entral American products. Two son« of the deceased merchant reside in this City. Pretty Ei Campo. The San Francisco and North Pacific Railway Company is making its usnal preparations to accommodate the outing parties that will visit El Campo to-mor- row. El Campo, with its pretty picnic- grounds and many amusement featnres, never fails toattract tue attention of those who decide to sperd a day in the country. The regular Sunday morning and after- noon boats wil) leave for the grounds from the foot of Clay street, Tiburon ferry. ALL WANT 10 SEE NKINLEY Business Men Say That His Appearance Would Help the State. Whatever Advertises the Golden West Results in Great Good. The President Would Study the Re- sources of California and the World Would Hear Our Praise. Nothing that has been suggested in many years has met with such enthusias- tic support from all classes of citizens as the vroposed effort to induce President McKinley to extend his Western visit this fall to San Francisco. It is known that the President intends to see Yellowstone Park, and there will be every effort toin- duce him to come to the Pacific Coast be- fore he goes back to Washington. Interviews with prominent citizens in various lines of business, yesterday, re- vealed the fact that there is but one senti- ment in the community recarding the coming of the President, and that is that his visit would be a great benefit to the country, as well as to the chief executive. ‘Ihis opinion was expressed by men of all shades of political belier. Everybody thinks that the visit of the Christian Endeavorers will result in great benefit to the Pacific Coast, and this ob- ject lesson makes it apparent that what- ever keeps the resources of the State in view will do its modicum of good and has- ten the day when the greater California will be a living realiry. The following views of well-known busi- ness men, lawyers and others will givea fair idea of the sentiment of the masses on the subject of the Presidential visit: H. N. Clement—I1f we can get the Pres- ident to come 1t cannot fail to result in good. He will see something of our re- sources, and, as a result, he will naturally talk. What he says will be reprinted all over the country, and this is the best class of advertising known. Following on the heels of the Christian Endeavor Con- vention, this will be bound to do us a great deal of good. I. will be a good thing for the President as well, for he will learn a greatdeal about an interest- ing and extensive part of the Nation of which he is President. We can show him some of our needs, as well as our re- sources. 1think itis the duty of all good citizens to do all in their power to induce the President to come, and hope the committee having the matter in charge will succeed with its work. Irving M. Scott—There is no doubt that it would be a grand thing for the chief executive to come to our beautiful coun- try, meet our people and study our re- sources, but I am afraid it is almost use- less to hope that he will do so. It seems to me that the best way to get at the matter would be to have an inviiation signed by the Governor, the Mayor o: San Francisco end by all the representative business bodies of the City and State. If the President can spare the time to come here it will result 1n much good. We will entertatn mim royally, as we did Grant, and the report of his opinions cannot re- sult otherwise than to our advantage. All this wonderful country needs is to be properly understood. G. 1. Umbsen—A visit from McKinle{ would help us and him. We find that all such things make inquiries for real estate and business chances. I hope the com- mittee will succeed. Collector Jackson—Of course we want the President and all the representative men in the country to see just what we have on this coast. It is an empire of wonderful possibilities and is not yet well understood by the Eastern people. Attorney-General W. F. Fitzgerald— Good. I like tosee such enterprise. Even the fact that we are doing all we can to get the President to come out here will be an advertisement for the country. T hope the President will be induced to come ont. L. Arnstein, manager of Stein, Simon & Co.—Itisa good idea. Certainly every- body, irrespective of politics, ought always to welcome a visit from the Presi- dentof the United States and we know that we will entertain him royally if he comes. C. Sadler of Sadler & Co.—There is no doubt that this is & good idea. I hope that all classes will join 1n the petition for him to come to our coast. Such visits are always a benefit, for we have more to ex- hibit and less to hide than any other State in the Union. J. P. Le Count—Without a moment’s thought or hesitaiion I say there is noth- ing but good in the idea, and if we can get the President to come and see us it will result in a great advertisement to the Pacific Coast. McKinley is a close and conservative sbserver, and what he says of us—and it must be good—will go a long way with most people. What we want is to be known. A. Kempkey, manager of L. D. Stone & Co.—1f the President will come here and familiarize himself with our conditions, even if he remains only a short time, it will be worth more to us than moaey will measure. Iam for the movement to get him here, and 1 do not see how any one can oppose the idea. George D. Greenwood, manager of the Calitornia Elcctric Company—Should the President come here it will benefit his health and give him a good idea of the best country on earth. lncidentally it will please as well as benefit us. E. B. Rambo, manacer of the Winchese ter Rep2ating Arms Company—There can be no doubt that the visit of the President of the United States would do us good. We have much to show ths intelligent visitor. The President would, of course, be interviewed in the East, and what he says would be quoted all over the coun- try. Iuistne kind of notoriesy that this coast needs. 8. 1. Wormser of Susman, Wormser & Co.—Certainiy, I am of the opinion that a visit from McKinley would be a good thing for the coast. He would be sure to see some of the best people in the State and some of the best parts of the State as well. I am for the movement to gel him here and I hope the committee will be success- ful in its efforts. George Webb, manager of Osborn & Alexander—All of us are in favor of hav- ing the President come out. While we do not know what the prospects are we be- lieve in giving the mattera thorough trial and getiing the chief executive here it possible. There can hardly be any two opinions on the matier, according to my wav of viewing the question. E. T. Allen—It is a good idea. Business men will be delighted. We onght to get him here and we ought then to impress him with the greatness of our resources as well as with our needs. Lionel B. Figenbaum, president of the California Notion and Toy Company— There 1s no harm and much good to come from the vigit. The fact that we are try- ing to get the President has already done us good in the East, for the news has been wired, and all such things show that we are wide awake and hospitable. It issuch things that have given us our good namj all over the country. G. G. Wickson—The President ought to come oui here if he can possibly do so. We want to see the President and we want him to see our great country. God speed the movement to get him out here. | husband’s whereabouts. N THE HOUSE OF A FRIEND A Fellow - Nurse Takes Charge of Remains of Violet Clowes. They Will Be Placed in a Vault in Laurel Hill Ceme- tery. John I Minear, the Man in the Case, Missing—Violet's Brother Coming. The funeral of Violet Foster Clowes, who was known during her brief stage ca- reer as Dot Foster, will take place at 10 o’clock this morning from the residence of Miss Julia Vollertsen at 1622 Washing- ton street. Miss Vollertson is a professional nurse and worked with Miss Clowes in her life- time and took a liking to her. She called at McGinn’s undertaking establishment vesterday and made arragements to have the body transferred to her house. During the day and evening there were numerous lady callers, most of whom had been ac- quaintances of the poor girl and sincerely mourned her tragic fate. The services at the house will be of the most siraple character. The body will be piaced in the receiving vuu't in Laurel Hiil Cemetery, 1o await the arrival of W. F. Clowes, brother of the deceased, tne remains having been embaimed. The telegram sent by Miss O’Connell last Thursday to Mr. Clowes at Philadel- phia did not reach him on that day, he being absent from the city attending a militia encampment. But yesterday he sent a dispatch, stating that he was on his way to San Francisco, and would attend to the details of the interment after his arrival. John L Minear, the man to whom Miss Clowes addressed a note of farewell while riding toward the ocean beach, where she went to her death, was very miserable over the publicity given to him in the newspapers. He felt so. upset over the catastrophe and the revelation which it implied, that he forgot 1o call at the ~di- torial rooms of the newspapers to explain why the public should not see any point in the fact that the last note of the suicide was adaressed to him of all the men in the world. this was so, because of friended the girl. What makes Mr. Minear's grief all the mare poignant is the fact that he is a mar- ried man, and that his wife might want to know something about his penchant for befriending pretty giris. Perhaps that is why Mr. Minear did not go bome at all on Thursday night ana why he could not be his having be- found at his office at 120 Sut.er street yes- terday. Mrs. Minear called at the Coroner’s | office yesterday and asked Deputy Coro- ner McCormick whether he knew of her She saia that he had not come home on the night before, and that she was anxious about bim. | There was a stern expression on her face and a steely glitter in her eyes when she spoke of him, and she remarked that she did not know the dead girl and had never heard of her until she saw her name and the name of her husuand coupled together in the newspapers. Mr. Minear may have remained away all night from home becanse of delicacy and reserve. He was not, perhaps, sure that Mrs. Minear would understand the he would like her to under- stand it, and he probably wished to leave her meditations undisturbed for at least one night. Nobody was home last night at an early or a late hour at the Minear residence, 774 Clayton street, where the merry voice of the Chutes is heard until midnight. The house was dark, and “siience brooded like a gentle spirit round the still and pulseless” house. Even the electric door- bell was pulseles and awoke no stir, no He did not call to explain that | | Ciayton and Frederick streets sizn of life in the dark domicile where EBenefactor Minear did not bide a wee. Mr. Minear is a mining man, and has no doubt gone prospecting in the moun= tains for a tew weeks. Tne Coroner’s in- qu- st has peen set for next Tuesday, and itis hoped that he will find it convenient to attend and tell Coroner Hawkinsall about his relations with the dead girl. It would be a splendid opportunity for him to prove his innocence under oath and remove whatever misgiving there may be in the minds of Mrs. Minear—and of the public, Mr. Clowes is due here on Tuesday also.
