AY, JULY 18, 1897. ALONE IN A CHAMBER | " OF IR Terrible Experience of a Crippled Chinese Child. LEFT ALONE TO STARVE AND DIE, | Rescued From a Most Horrible Fate After a Night o1 Terror. A HUMAN HARPY WANTED HIS PREY. | Pathetic Story of What Was Almost | a Tragedy in a Chinatown Byway. Crouched in a corner in the horrible | presence of the dead, burdencd with the | more horrible thought that she was placed there to remain without food until death | took pity upon her and relieved her, suf- fering cruelly from an injury to her spine caused by a blow with an iron rod, all night long sobbed a little Chinese girl | whose heartless mistress had followed the | usual custom of her race and placed the | helpless cripple 1n the chamber of the dead, to remain alone until she died. Here she was found yesterday morning room for the cuild at the Cbildren’s Hos- pital, but the crowded condition of that institution made this impossible, and she was trying to devize some other means to get the cripple away from the place she called home, when the mistress of the little slave girl took matters into her own bands and placed the family burden in one of the “Chambers of Tranquillity” to starve to death or die of fright, it made little d:fference, just so she died. When Dr. Werry missed the child on her visit vesterday, she was informed that it had been sent to the undertaker’s, and she hurried there to discover what further | disposition had been made of her protege. The undertaker did not care to lose a pros- pentive bit of business, and placed every obstacle in the way of a sexrch, but when the difficulties were overcome Dr. Werry found the child crouching in the corner, a perfect picture of abject fear. The girl had given up all hope, and when she saw deliverance at hand couid only sob and shiver and cline to the ban of her rescuer. But the trouble was not yet over. The undertaker refused to let the child go. He barred the doors and called to his aid his employe- to prevent this taking away of his business. It took dire threatsof a visit from the police to cause the harpy to finaily allow the doctor to depart with her charge, and then it took along time to get | the child to a place of safety and comfort, | for she was weak from physical sufferiug and mental distress, and it was almost impossible for her to walk, She was placed under the motkerly care of Mrs. Lake, matron of the mission, and as she recited the terrors of the previous night NCKINLEY, SAY ONE AND ALL Grand Citizens' Meeting To-Morrow Independ- ent of Party. Gifted Speakers of All Political Colors Will Then Invite the Executive. A Long List of Vice-Presidents of Renown Who Will Add Enthu- siasm to the Ocoasion. The State appears unanimous on the proposal that President McKinley shail | receive every encouragement and eloquent inducement to vis t California. After considerable consideration within Republican ranks it was found that the desire to bave the popular President come THE LITTLE CHINESE GIRL IN THE DEATH-CHAMBER. by Dr. Minnie Werry and taken to the| Methodist Mission Home, where room made for her despite the fact that the place is already full to overflowing. As| she lay upon her couch at the mission last | nigkt, her big eyes vet distended with the terror of the awful night and ner wee facs | drawn and distorted with the recollec.ion of its horrors, she presented a picture | that told better than any combination of | words the story of dark tragedy enacted | in the noisome :lleys of Chinatown. | The question of economics which enters | 80 large'y into the life of the Chinese is | nowhere better jllustrated than the con- | nection between the sick and the grave. With the hospital adjoining the ead- house and the latier next tothe under- | taker’s room, it is a short and easy road | to travel, yet not short enough to smt the pecaliar fancy of the Mongolian, for it is customary to place the helple:s anddying in the room where lie those awaiting the coffin. Here, left alone with the dead hu- | manity and living rats for company, all | afflictea with hopeless maladies are im- mured without food until death claims them. Over the door are queer characters, which, being translated, read “Chamber of Tranquillity.” The horrors of one of | these places can never be adequately pic- tured, with its filtb, its stench strong enough to overpower even a healthy man, its vermin and its grewsome darkness. What, then, must it have been to little | Kuan Ho, helpless and already ill enough | to die if proper care were denied her. All | night long the delicate child suffered the | terrors of death, nay, worse than death it must have been, lying there alone in the dark close to that shape whic h was once a man, with rats running over her, poking | their noses into her face and then retreat- | g as if they were even more merciful than her own kind and had not the heart | to inflict turther injury upon her. Her | heart-broken sobs, her cries of terror, | brought no one to her aid and the hours | went slowly by in the darkness until gray morning broadened into day and then, almost insane throueh the awful trial, ehe was rescued from what had almost been | her grave. 2 ‘When Kuan Ho was a little child she was sold as a slave to a woman with whom she lived up to the present time. Not- withstanding her youth she was given the heavy labor of the household and the care | of the cuildren, some of them older than | herself. Something more than a year ago ! one of the older children struck her across the back with an iron bar and brought on such an injury to the spine that she be- came a Lelpless cripple. Then she was left alone wita no companionship. No one approached her except to give her her frugal meal of rice. She was a useless piece of humanity in the way of everv- body. It was in this condition that Dr. Werry tound her on one of her rounds, and she did what she could to relieve her suffering. Two weeks ago Dr. Werry tried to get her face would be drawn and tears would fall as her little frame was shaken with her sobs. For thé present Kuan Ho will remain at | the mission-house, and the stay will be | Dr. | vermanent if it can be srranged. Werry will donaie $5 a month for her sup- 10°t, but more wiil be needed for cloth- ing, doctors, medicines, etc. The home is already supporting more than was orig- inally intended, but, as Mrs. Lake says, *4it is hard to refuse them,” and they are taken in, even if ihe ontside aid 1s not quite as muck as 1t should be. WAS TIRED OF LIFE. Charles Emerson Commits Suicide by Swallowing a Dose of sabadilla, Charles Emerson, a man whose occupa- tien in life is unknown, died last evening in the Ferry Receiving Hospital from the effects of a dose of sabadilla, taken by him with suicidal intent in his room at 629 Clay street yesterday afternoon at4:30 o’clock. The suicide rented the room in which he took the dose Friday night. He had but littie money and seemed to be | despondent. Yesterday atternoon Charles Brown, who is employed in the house as a bedmaker, entered the room occupied by Emerson for the purp se of arraunving it and found the tenant in an unconscious condition. He informed the police, and the dying man was removed to the hospi- tal, where a few hours later he did. It is not known whe her or not the deceased had any relatives in this country. —_———— The 'ead Had to Wait. William Kelly, a milkman, was brought to the City and County Hospital last Thursday atternoon at 4 o’clock, He died five minutes before 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon and the body was aliowed (o lic in the hospital until 10 o'clock yesterday, the hospital authoriifes not having notified the Coroner uutil 8:40 A3t yesterday o Kelly’s death. The physi- clans at the hospital said that they did not know what the man had died of. They were sure, however, that he was dead and thai he had been dead for more than nineteen hours. Dr. Gailagher, autopsy physician for the Coroner, mede an examination yesterday aud 'lnspuveud that death was due 10 tubercu- 0sis. —.———— Choked by a Piece of Coal.

The Palace Pharmacy was attached vester- day by the Sheriff upon a judgment secured by the Sharon Estate Company in the sum of $562. The pharmacy has been conducted for many years by James G. Steele. | to this shore was not confined to any par- ticular section or party. Democrats, deep- dyed in the wool, fell into line. The re- calcitrant Populist was found in harmony, and men of sense in every walk of life united in a diapason of welcome to the great chief executive of the Nation. Things have now crystallized into working order. It was feit that the pres- enceof the great tariff President could not but inure to the benefit of all classes, California and her products and resources require but to be known to be admired and coveted. The President’s visit could but call atiention to the wonders already recognized by the great Christian En- deavor convention and other visiting con- tingents from the Easiern States. It is a case where a visit would notonly benefit his patriotic cause, but the whole State, independent of party. So it has been ihat a great ‘‘citizens’ meeting’’ bas been arranged for to-mor- row night at California Hall, 620 Bush street, to formally invite President Mc- K nley to California. A bright galaxy of speakers has been secured to address the meeting, including General W. H. L. Barnes, Hon. Samuel M. Shortridge, H n. George A. Knight, James G. Maguire, Hon. EE don. A. B. Treadwell, Hon. E. Volf, Hon. Dawson Mayer, Wil- m Mcliniyre and others. The following are vice-presidenta for the evening: Geoige K. Morse, Charles F. Curry, John D. Spreckels, William S. Barnes, L J. Truman, Senator E. G. Bert, Colonel T. C. Masteller, Senator E. C. Pa'mieri, Charles S. Laumeister, A. Ruef, A. Rojo, Max Popper, John Lachman, A. M. Ebbetts, George K. Fitch, Charles Alpers, T. F. Bachelder, Hon. E. B. Ponda, David Kerr, 1. B. Morton. F. E. Masche- rini, J. J. Sullivan, F. L. Brown, Charles Manwaring. Hon. James Phelan will preside, at the request of the committee. According to A. de La Torre Jr. (secre- tary) and E. M. Galvin (chairman) seats will be reserved for ladies, and in all re- spects the meeting should be one that is deserying of patronage. In the words of the announcement issued by the committee, ‘“Come one, come all.” DEFECT IN THE BONDS. Ex-Collector Welburn Causes Trouble for United States Attorney Foote. One of the Sureties Dead for Three Years and Certified as Solvent. Special Ageut of the Treasury Thrasher has reporied to the department at Wash- ington that Wiiliam . Dougherty, one of the surec:es on the bond of ex-Collector of Internal Revenne Welburn, has been dead since 1894 and that in 1896 Welburn’sbonds for $200.0€0 with the dead man’s name still remaining on the paper were certi- tied to as good and the sureties as solyent by United States Attorney Foote. When the matter was mentioned a day or twoago to Mr. Foote by Mr. Thrasher, Mr. Foote expiained that at the time he certified to the bonds he had not been in- formed and was not aware that Bonds- man Dougherty was dead, although it was two years after that event. Mr. Foote said last night: “I was personally acquainted with all the bondsmen, and I knew Mr. Dougherty very well, and knew that he and his asso- ciates on Collector Weiburn’s bonds were | solyent and that the bonds were therefore good. The Government requires that every two vears bonds of Federal officers musi be re-examined in order to_-ee that the sureties have not become impaired. Tne District Attorney is required to cer- tify to that fact. 1 bhad not heard of Mr. Dougherty’s death, and Mr. Welburn, who was in conference with me at the time I was examining the bounds, did not inform me of it. I asked bim this morn- ing why he had notdone so, and he re- plied that he himself was not aware at the time we were examining the bonds las. year that Mr. Dougherty had died two years previously. “0f course,” addea Mr. Foote, ‘‘the bonds are not at all impaired by reason of Mr. Dougherty’s death. There is ample security to cover all shortages in the office.” There is an impression in the Federal building that Mr. Foote will be repri- manded or removed for his negligence in the matter. The certificate sent to th- department is coucbed in the most posi- tive terms to the effect that the United States Attorney personally knows each and every surety on the bond and that ihey are solvent and responsibie, A dead man, no matter how great his estate, is neither solvent nor responsible asa bonds- man for anv irregularities or defalcations committed by the party ior whom he may have become a surety, if such defalcations occur after the death of the bondsman. ONE TAUNT TO0 MANY. Feliclne Racorullet Almost Brains the Husband of His Ex-Wife, Felicine Racorullet, a teamster, living in South San Francisco, nearly brained E. E. ‘Waterman with a chair last evening in John Lankenau’s saloon. Waterman is a nouse-mover and several months ago he won the affections of the teamster’s wife. Although the woman was the mother of several children she left their father and went to live with Waterman, to whom she is now married. Racorullet took his loss qaietly, but as may be expected he bore no kindly feelings toward the man who br ke uphis family. Lust evening Waterman and his new wife's father, named O'Neill, entered the saloon and while he did not address him- self to the teamster he began to discuss . his wife, evidently for the ex-husband’s benefi Racorullet stood the man’s tauntsas long as he coula. Springing to his feet he seized a heavy chair and swinging it over his head brought it down on Waterman’s skull with a force that laid the latter out senseless upon the floor. Not satisfied he again whacked the prostrate man another blow before the saloon-keeper could interfere.d The as- sailant was arrested by Officer Geu:ge P. O’Connell. Dr. Todd was sent for to at- tend to the wounded man who took some time to recover consciousne: A BURGLAR') WARN GREETING He Enters the House of George Metcalfe, Capi- talist. Metcalf Surprises Him and Orders Him to Throw Up His Hands, Instead of Obeying the Burglar Runs and Metoalfe Fires Five Shots At Him, George Metcalfe, the well-known capi- talist, had a lively encountsr with a burg- lar in his residence, 418 Geary street, early yesterday morning, and came out on top. About 1 o’clock he was awakened by a peculiar and unvsual noise in the house, and after listening for a few minutes he decided to make an investigation. He quie:ly got out of bed, siivped on his trousers and, seizing his revolver, opened his bedroom dcor. To his surprise he was conironted by a masked burglar, who was apparently making for his bed- room. Quickly raising his revolver, Metcalfe shouted, “Throw up your hands or I'll shoot.”” The burglar bad not apparently anticipated such a reception, for he com- pletely lost his nerve, and instead of throwing up his hands he wheeled round and ran downstairs, Metcalfe called to him to stop, but as he continued his flight Metcalfe fired sbot after shot at him il ue had emptied his revolver. One or two of the bullets apnar- ently struck the fleeing burglar, as Met- calie saw him throw up his hands and emit a yell of fear or pain. After emptying his revolver Metcalfe started to tollow the burglar with the in- tention of capturing him, but he was too late, as the burgiar quickly opened the front door and dashed intc the street while Metcalfe was running downstairs. Metcalfe looked out of the front door, but although ve could not see anything of the pur_lur he could hear the pateer of his footsteps in the distance. The shots were heard by Datective Gib- son, who happened 1o be on Mason street, near Geary,.and he ran round th- corner. He suw Meicalfe stanaing at his door with the revolver in his haud, bui the burglar had taken the opposiie direction and had disappeared round the corner of Taylor street. 1f e had run towar.: Ma- son sireet Gibson would have caught him. Metcalfe told the detective of nis experi- ence with the burglar, and they made a <earch for the bullets. They tound tnree, but were unable to find the other two, Metcaife havinglired five shots aliogether, and they came to the conclusion that they were in all probability concealed in the burglar’'s anatomy. Metcalfereported the affair to Chief Lees i last night. Owing to the darkness he was unable to give a gocd description of the burgiar, bui the police think they know him, and a systematic search is being made for him. He had nottime to get away with any plunder. ————————— FRANK H. JOHNSTON ILL. The Genial Master of the City of Syd- ney a Very Sick Maa. Captain Frank H. Johnston of the steamer City of Svdney is a very sick man and will not be able to take his vessel out on her u-ual run to Panama. He was able to attend to his duties up to last Friday about noon, but later in the dav had to go home. Yesterday the Mail Company was notified and Captain McLean of the San Blas will take out the Sydney. Captain Johnston was formerly master of the steamer City of New York, which was wrecked at Point Boniis during a heevy fog. The accident was due to the carelessnnss of the pilot, who was dis- missed from the serv ce, while Captain Johnston was exonerated from all blame. No masier in the service of the Pacific Maii is better known or batter liked trom Panama to San Francisco and from San Francisco to China than the genial master of the City of Sydney and his host of friends will be grieved to hear of his se- rious 1liness. A Visitor and a Missing Watch Between 2 and 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mullarky, wno keeps & lodging-house at 2124 Howard street, received a call from a man who made inquiries about lodgings. She showed him irito a room that was engaged by Frank P. Herve. He did not engage the room, but said he would call again.

Will Move to the Ciry Hall on the 1st of August. Captain Spillane of the Southern Police district has received orders from his superiors to move hi< headquarters from tue old Southern Police station into the Larkin-strest wing of the City Hall by the first of the month. All of the furniture of the Folsom-street lockup will be moved. The patrolmen of that district will, after the 1st, assemble in the new guarters. The reason for thi that the old station on Folsom-street has been condemned and again pronounced to be unsafe after the big cracker.factory fire. A new buiding will be erected on the old site, but whether it will be used as a police station is not yet determined as the Commissioners de<ire to have a station of their own in that district instead of pay- ing rent. At any rate the officars of the southern district will report on and off at the City Hall until p-ovided w th new quarters. e e What to Oall Them. A short time ago, at the Liverpool colosseum, an institution where poor chil- dren get free meals, a well-known bumor- ist gave one of his entertainments to the “eolly kids,” as the youngstersate called. At the close of the entertainment the chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the entertainer, who, in responding said: “Mr. Chairman and colly kids—="" At this the chairman remarked, in an amusing manner, that ‘‘the girisdidn’t like being called kids.”” The other gentleman then asked what he should call the gir's, and & lad of 6 years yelled out from the back ro: “*Call 'em collv flowers, «ir.”"—Answar NEW TO-DAY.
