OaRrAND OFFicE S8AN FrANCISco CArr,) 8 Broadwsy, Aug. 9. When G. W. Marston and his “‘wife’’ lived in this city for several years no one | knew that he haa a family on each side of the continent. According to a story that is suggested in a suit filed this afternoon Marston was never married to his Califor- 1ia companion and Lad a wife and family | in the East. This news isa great surprise 1o his many acquaintances here, who re- garded the oitl capitalist as a whole-souled example of propriety. 3 Several years azo G. W.

This afternoon a suit was filed that fills in the rest of the story. It states that the right name of the alleged widow is Hattie Goodwin and not Hattie Marsion, and that she was never the wife of G. W. Mar- ston, whose real name i3 H. W. Marston. It is also stated that Hattie Goodwin is now in the possession of the estate and | bat it is feared she may attempt to dis- pose of it when she learns that she 1s not the legal claimant to it. Public Admin- istrator Knight is made the plaintiff in the suic and he asks for injunction on the aileged widow and also on the Oakland Bank of Savings. Mrs. Marston or Goodwin has left town, it is said, to avoid the notoriety conse- quent upon the exposure, and her friends declare that she was properly married to Marston and believed him to be a widower, B S In Arran, where the maidenbair fern prowsplentifully, some of the inhabitants use it as a substitute for tea, The examination | 1 trance examinations. will continue through Wednesday.

The usual scenes incident upon the | opening of college were enacted, notable | among which were the numerous joshes and jokes played on the “green’” and un- suspecting ireshies by tbe sophomores and upper classmen.

ALAMEDA, CaAL., Aug. 9.—Letiers from El Dorado County deny emphatically the published statement that the shooting of W. D. Chapman at the Tavlor mine list week was other than pure accident. It wos stated in some of the papers thatit wasa case of intent to chmmit suicide from melancholia, but the letters referred to declare that there is no truth in suc.: reports, but that the affair was an acci- dent simply.

AND THE TIDE T0LD THE TALE Cashier Buja Flees When | His Books Are Fished From the Bay. His Employers Believe He Is| a Defaulter and Buja Is Arrested. Ohampagne and Women on a Limited | Salary May Be the Key to the Mystery. Nicholas Buja cast his bread upon the When the tide came in, it brought with it the evidence of his un- doing in the shape of the bouks of his em- in the hope that they would thus be lost | to sight. A passing longshoreman fished them out for mere curiosity, and then Buja’s sin had apparently found him out. Buja until yestcrday was the cashier and confidential bookkeeper of the fruit com- mission house of L. Scatena & Sons at 104 | Washington street. To-day he is a fugitive from the eyes of his employer and those of Ohief Lees, while a mother and two sisters know nothing of the whereabout: of another young man who is suppos d to have gone wrong. | l Scatena learned of hisemploye's doings | when a longshoreman called upon him | yesterday morning to tell him that he had | picked up in tbe ebb tide, near the Pacific- | street wharf, a cashbook and a ledger be- longing to the firm. Buja was in the office daring this conversation. As the Iong- shoreman and Scatena crossed the sireet 10 asaloon where the books were tempo- rarily deposited the cashier stepoed to the door to await their return. A few mo- ments later hesaw his employer emerge from the saloon with 1wo water-logged books nnder hizarm, and the cashier made his exit in a most stage-like manner through the rear door, and since that time A hasty glance at the books and the mysterious departure of the cashier con- vinced Scatena thatsometbing was wrong. The suspicions were verified later in the day when Buja failed toreturn. A younger | member of the firm at once waited upon Chicf Lees and asked that the missins man be arrested if discovered, perding an investigation of his accounts. Buja lives with his mother and sister at 810 Green street, and has been in the em- ploy of the fruit firm for a long time. In his capacity as cashier he handled al! the | money of the firm, running as high as $1000 a day. His salary was $125 a month, 2ud according 1o the reports of his com- panions he lived a1 a pace for some time | pagt far boyond his means. As a member | of the Olympic Club he was known as one | of the nighest “‘rotlers” init. He wasa | frequent visitor at the Cliff House, and | generally made the journey with one or | LWo women companiois in a carriage. He was married about two years ago very suddeniy, and after a three days’ honey- moon he and his wife separated. Since that time his course has been rapid and his conduct eccentric. His employer some time ago noticed that his actions were those of a nervous, much-troubled young man and that he often neglected his work, but having full confidence in his cashier atthat time, Scatena attributed views of other people who lated to it 1n a general way.’ These views of Senator Perkins are thoroughly tn harmony with those of the Oakland Board of Trade and Merchants’ Exchange anl it is not probable that any more advice wili be sent to Washington from this side of the estnary. A PRETTY PRECEDENT. Oakland Haoights Keopens the O1d-Time house-Warmings. OAKLAND, Car, Aug. 9 —A precedent was set last night that will doubtless be followed as the number of beautiful resi- dences increase on Oakland Heights. The latest home is that of W. E. F. Wehr and its occupancy wassignalized by the family keeping *“open house” for many hours. The affair was a genuine German house- warm.ng and everyb dy who was in the neignborbnod was warmiy welcomed to the refreshments =2nd entertainment. Tha elegant two-story house was prettily decorated and a stream of guests took pos- session all afternoon and evening. The banquet was served at 5 o’clock and at 7 there was an amateur entertainment, in which many of the guests took part. Games were indulged in, and after dark ,are only re- the Chinese-lantern decoration effects were v picturesque. The Wehr residence is situated on Cres- cent avenue, near Perry, and was designed by D. A. Oiiver. Among the guests from 8an Francisco were: Mr. und Mrs. H. Dittmer, Mr. and Mrs. C. Bruse, Mr. and Mrs. George Hauerkin, Mrs. Warnke, Mr. and Mrs. Fortriede and Mr. and Mrs. L. Cochius. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Heyer of Haywards and William Sierks and Miss Johanna Mauller of Siockton were also present. .- John Walter Near, the West indian charged with assaulting Capiain Burnside of the Cum- bermere,will be tried to-morrow.

ALAMEDA, CaL., Aur. 9 —The Board of City Trustees met us a Board of Equaliza- tion this morning, but did nothing more than organize and then adjourn until to- morrow morning. Theonly protest of im- portance that has yet been presented was that of the Alameda, Oakland and Pied- mont Railroad, which was put in to-day. This compauy asks that its assessment on the track from Webster-street bridge to the tidal canal be redvced from $20,000 to §17,965, tl.e High-street branch from §¥)00 10 $600, and the San Jose avenue line irom $7000 to $6000. It is also asked that the tranchise be reduced in valuation Irom $30,000 to $15,000. Two or three other minor apolications for reduc.ion were also presented. ———— Oakliand News Notes OAKLAND,CAL , Aug. 7.—Anna Schumacher of Alameda was committed to Stockton to- day.

AT THE TIVOLL Brilliant Opening of the Grand-Opera Seasen With “Aida.” “Rosemary’s” Second Week. “The Charity Ball” Revived at the Columbia, Gus Williams Gives a Monologne at the Orpheum—Powers' Play Opens To-Night. The Tivoli grand opera season opened last night, with a smooth, even and alto- gether satisfactory performance of **Aida.” The house was crowded and hearty ap- plause was the order of the night. The most interesting feature of the rep- resentation was its even excellence. The orchestra, conducted by Gustav Hinrichs, was an important factor in the success of the nigh:. The instruments were well balanced and the orchestration was made subordinate to the vocal score. The prin- and costuming showed a careful eye to effect. 1f the chorus failed to touch the power and breadath of grand opera eftect, at least it was well balanced and tuneful, The greatest interest centered round the appearance of the new principals and the reappearance of favorites of former sea- sons. Fernando Michelena, the tenor of last year’s Tivoli fame, easily won back his old place in popular favor by his im- assioned singing and acting as Radames. [:Ie was in excellent voice and did clever Mme. Selma Kronold, the new *‘falcon” of the troupe, exceeded the expectations | formed of her. She possesses a rich, full | voice, in the full freshness of its power, and she sang the difficult music of Aida’s role without any screaming or apparent effort, except in a few of the highest notes, in going up to which her voice lost some Mrs. Katherine Fleming-Hinrichs, the Amneris of the cast, i3 another newcomer in local opera. She was evidently suffer- ing from nervousness Iast nizht, but she succeeded, nevertheless, in making a good impression. Abramoff, who is always a satisfactory arlist, barring an occasional tendency 1o stray from the true piteh, did brilliant work as Ramphis, and William Mertens, formerly of the Tavary Company, putl plenty of fire and passion into his inter- pretation of the ill-starred King of Ethiopia. As adrama the work would have been more effective if the artists had agreed to avoid a diversity of tongues. Michelena rronounces Italian with such bell-like clearness that one could pardon him for adhering to that tongue. Mme. Kronold and Mrs. Hinrichs also sang in Italian, Mertens affected English and so did West, who played Pharoah, and the minor char- acters all used the common tongue. In erand opera, however, this is a detail, and it did not d.tract from the success of the performance. o-night “Romeo and Juliet” will be vroduced. The Orpheum. Some of last week’s atiractions continue to be the most popular features at the Orpheum. Professor Leonidas' performing dogs and cats are growing in favor, as their intelligence and education deserve that they should do, and the fame oi Miss Mary Arniotis goes on grow- ing for her wonderful performance in lifting five men simultaneousiy. The gallery boys have learned to improvise a whisting accompaniment to the music of some of Papinta’s dances, and they execute it 10 the entertainment of the rest of the audi- ence. Crawford and Manning, the knock- about character comedians, have introduced & new ACt this week, the most amusing feature of which s & burlesque prize-fight executed by two small boys, with the comeaians as their irainers. Gus Williams, in a dfalect monologue, is the shining light among the new acts. He givesa series of humorous remarks, aud as au encore lust night treated histhearers to the piano- forte se.cctions which have for years past been fondiy sssociated with his name. Although Gus gave the same old pleces and enlivened them with the same wrong notes this part of his act was received with great demonstrations of aelight. Hilda Thomas and Frank Barry, the other newcomers, made a very favorable impres- sion, The lady is an eccentric com:.dienne possessed of a good deal of originality. Either sbe was suffering from a cold, or sssumed hoarseness for effect, but her singing met with more popular approval then the work of ac- complished vocalists often does. The De Onzos brothers,comedy acrobats; the three ckelt brothers aud Frencelll and Lewis still remain on the bill, Grand Opera-House. “The Tornado,” a startling melodrama with a record that dates back to the Chicago World’s Fair, was put on at the Grand Iast evening. “The Tornado’ differs in no way from the regulation meloarama seen at the Grand. Through its five acts villainy and yirtue, love and hate engage 1n bitter warfare, the good and true triumphing in the cnd, as it is right and prover they should do. The cast called for the entire Grand siock company. Julia Blane as Mrs. Bridget Wallace was excellent. Miss Bianc auring the past season has played many aud d ferent parts and has shown_her- 11t possessed of much versatiiily. Maud Edna Hell, Irma_Fitch, Mortimer 3now, Leslie Morosco and Landers Sievens carried with an easy grace their respeciive burdensof virtue and wickedness, truth and dishonor. “The Tornado" will be the bill for the entire week. Columb:ia Theater. The Frawley Company put on its success of the season, “‘The Charity Ball,” at the Colum- bialastevening. The play was mounted with all the toste and care the management gave to it on 1ts previous production and with few excep.ons the cast was the same as at that time. Miss Bates turned the tearfui Phyliis iuto the keeping of Clara Eleanor Moretti and herself assumed, with her usual success, Maxine ElliotUs old tof stately Ann Cruger. Worthing repeated old success as Van Buren, the rector of 8r. dred’s, and Madge Carr Cook and Pho ain seen to advantage as Mrs. Van Buren, respect- i Mi McAllister weie Ax Mrs. de Peyster an: ively. ViThie Charity Bail” will run for the week and is to be followed by Haddon Chambers’ great play, ““The Idler.” Powers’ Naw Play. There was & dress rehearsal in the Aleazar last night of Francis Powers’ new play “Turk Meets Greek,” founded on the recent war be- twee1 Greece and Turkey. The scenery, cos- tumen and music are all new, even to the fur- niture and_bric-a-brac, the latter costing no less than $5000. The vlay bids fair to be & success, but that will be better judeed after the performance. The first performance will be given this evening. Baldwin Theater. “Rosemary” opened its second and last week last night. John Drew and his company were greolog by an appreciative audience. At the Oberon. An excellent and well-rendered musical pro- gramme scored another success for the Inter- national Ladies’ Orchestra at the Oberon last evening. Popular and classical selections were happily blended. A new programme will be given to-night. At the Chutes. The Bioomer Minstrels began their second and last week at the Chutes free theater last evening.

Alice Rix has sued for a aivorce. She asks the Superior Court to release her from the galling bonds of matrimony on | ; the ground that her husband has grown weary of her company and has refused to sive with her any longer. All the particulars of the infelicity in the Rix household are sat forth succinetly in a complaint filed yesterday by Attor- ney A. Barnard, representing the fair plaintiff, who, by the way, B.

Mrs. Rix accuses her spouse of having willfully ieft her bed and bcard, though she was at all times willing to receive him back with open arms, She says that in this he violated nis marriage vows, and that thereby she has been made te suffer all the pangs and heartaches that must be endured by a deserted and neglected woman. Nodemand is made by Mrs. Rix for alimony. and it is not expected that there will be any contest in the case. From the allegations in tne complaint as presenied by the unhappy wife it is fair | be no contest to be heard ir to presume that there wiil when the trial comes on Judge Belcher’s department of the Su- | perior Court.
