THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY,. AUGUST 21, 1897. THE GLOVE [HROWN BY T ENERNEY Delmas Promptly Accepts the Challenge to Mortal Combat. \ STIR N THE CRAVEN CASE. Expert Ames Leaves Town and | Thus Escapes the Contempt Proceedings. THE DEPUTI®S CIVT LOCATE HIM. | Session Devoted to Adducing Evidence to fupport Martin Kelly's Alibi, Were it not for the fact that on two | previous occasions since the beginning of the Fair iriel the gauntlet has been throwr. | down by warring attorneys, and on those two occasions leit io lie where it feil, yes- terday’s proceedings might have given a bloodtuirsty public reason to expect short- ly an eariy morning affaire d’honneur, with nusky Garret McEnerney and D. M. Delmas as the zun or sword wield- ers, The challenge has been given all right | enough and duly accepted, but thereit| will doubtless 5 It was all about a preacher’s diary, | which had been produced in court by its owner for the purpose ot demonstrating that he had told the truth with reference | to an important date in connection with | Martin Kelly’s alibi. Delmas took um- at the audacity of the atiorneys for heirs in rummaging through the and preceeded to empty a vial of triol over their heads. He demanded of the court that thev be ucted to not inspect any entriesin | book other than the memorandum | sut which the minister was to be ques- | n The liatter's private affairs, he | , should not be surrendered to prying | eyes. "Wheeler and McEnerney were on their feet in a moment and bristling for fight. | McEnerney said that Delma’ remar a direct insinuation that they were pry- | g into the LOOK. | The counterpart of Napoleon replied | irritatingly thut that was just what he | had intended to do. He said he would repeat his remarks if they haa been mis- | understood. cEnerney n evident. s | | was hot—that was more | He declared that he was ared to resent the fling eizaer in or | of court, and he said it with ene of | bobs of bis head that always means | isiness, With what was intended to be a wither- ing giare at his big challenger, Deimas arose and delivered his formal acceptance 1o the call to arms. Blustering, he said, in the course of 1atner a lengthy speech, never did phease him, and would not now. | He intimated that the roar from the other side was a purely spleen-venting recourse, but neverthel:ss he stood ready to partake of the potion prescribed by his “learned | onent.” .| Lie choosing of seconds was the next| T thing on the programme, according to ail | qualified precedents, bui it didn’t take‘ place. | M. McEncrney bad found something | that absorbed his interest in a big law- | book and said nothing. Mr. Delmas pro- | ceeded to ke copious notes on a sheet of paper and said nothing further. Patient and bored, Judge Siack wearily directed that the case be proceeded with, and that was ihe end of it Sometling else there was of interest | during the session, and that only devel- | It was in referen: pert Anies 1o appear cause why he should for contempt fo | | | | i | t and show punishe having | aelivered ecture in which he | proclaimed avein deeds and the ' will to be iorger Alter tae bad is-ued an efforu was made 10 ucon the of- | ouna that he juieily picked bis grip and ieft town. It is ~a:d that he cannot be reached and thereiore Mrs, Craven’s counsel will not pleasure they bave been antidi- g of juliug him. | Tane evidence of yesterday’s session was | devoted to furiher estab.ishing Marn | Kelly’s alibi in connection with evidence | given by John It Aiiken that Kelly made moriing session as o 1heaccuracy of mem- ing Kelly in Lawyer Ruef’s oflice early tnat evening. The reverend tieman said he had reireshed his memory by means of his diary, and he was instrucied 1o bring the book into | court at the aflernoon session. Charles Tamm, secretary of the French | consulate, tesiitied that be, too, saw Kelly in Ruef’s offi e that evenin, He said ne | was positive of the date because a lawsuit | was commenced against him the next day. 'fne attorney : for the heirs then maie an unsuccessful effort to get hold of the contract for compensation Mrs. Craven once entered into with George R. Wil- jiams, the attorney. The lady was put upon the stand and declared that aiter | ihe document was returned to her several wonihs ugo she desiroyed it It wus ob- ained from Mr. Williams by Stepben Roverts and by the laiter given to her. Stepben Roberts was sworn and in unswer to Wheeler said no contract ex- ted between himself and Williams at | s time, *“Was there ever one?”’ asked theattor- ney. *There was.” *What became of it?"’ I returned it to Mrs. Craven.” ~tlow long ago?’ S Ou, several monthe ago.” F Was it not since Judge Aitken gave his imony in th s case?” R Delmas objected to this as insinuating and imvroper, and tue court ruled with Lim. Roberts was then excused. Rev. -Edward Dupuy was recalled for further cross-examination, the obj-ct 6f the plaintiff’s counsel being 1o qu.z bim recarding a memoraadum-book or diary by which he bad relreshed his memory regzarding the events of July 9 of last year. d this was the book thatcaused the | row between Delmas and McEnerney aund | tue chailenge to mortal combat. After the smoke of the beitle had cleared away, Judge Williams was put upon the stand and baited again regarding that coniract. All they got out of bim was that he had not seen the document lor a yearand a half. Miss Mary E. Kelly, daughter of Mar in Keliy, was sworn and testified thai on July 9of last year her father was somewhat one of his numerous attempts 10 corrupt L.m on the evening of Juiy 9, 1896. In | hiis connection the Rev. Edwar Dupuy | was cros--exanined at length during the | ory about { sbaland s = g | special rate of $150 for the rouna trip, late in getting home to supper. He arrived shortly before 7 o’clock and said he woul not be abie to wait for the meal, as he had to attend a meeting at the Baldwin Hotel. He remained a few moments and then de- parted in company with two other men. The object of this evidence was to contra- dict again the testimony of Jonn R. Ait- ken to the effect that he was with Kelly at 7:30 that evening and that they di-cussed the allaged proposal for Aitken to testify falseiy for Mrs. Craven. Joseph 8. Spear Jr., who was heard of in politics last. year. was the next witness. When asked regarding his occupation Mr. Spear drolly remarked that he had none at present, but “had hopes.” Hesaid he recoll-cted guite well the evening of July 9, 1836, There was a meeting of the Re- publicans of the Fourth Congressional District that night. He was positive he saw Martin Kelly there—first in the iobby of the Baliwin, and later in the dining- room of that caravansary, where the meet- ing was held. The witne-s arrived about 7:45 o’clock, and Kellv was there then. Charles Robertson, formerly steward at the Baldwin Hotel, testified that he ar- ranged the dining-room for the political meeting referred to and suid _he reme: bered having seen Martin Kelly there. Previous to the me : he saw the poli- tician in the lobby of the hotel. 2oberison talked so rapidly that Court Stenograpuer Smith got rattied and broke balf of his pencils, The witness had to be instructed to put on the brakes and slow | upa bit. | John J. West, an attache of Attorney | Ruef’s office, took the stand to further es- tablish the Kelly alibi. Ha said he saw that individual in Mr. Ruef’s office late on the afternoon of July 9, 1896. He thought Kelly remained there untl 6:30 P. M. The object of the visit was to have Mr. Ruet draw up & set of resolutions in regard 1o tue death of General Dimond, which resolutions were to be introuuced at a meeting scheduled for that evening. WELCOMED BY FRIENDS. Rev.J W. E ¥ride Given a Dainty Keception The return of Rev. J. W. Eusworth and his bride from Santa Barbara was the oc- casion for a happy greeting of frienas on Thursday at the residence of the newiy wedded couple, 753 Capp street. Bearcely a fortnight ago Mrs, Ellswortn was Miss Belle Pyle of Santa Barbara, and one of the beiles of that place. In- troductions to the bride were naturally | about the first matters on last night’s in formal evening, and everyboay voted that Dr. Ellsworth was most ior! te in his selection of a life partner. Over 100 ladies and rentlemen called to congratulate the j couple and pariake of their nospitality. The interior of the little home was taste- fully decorated for the occasion.

A Stanford Man Elected to Manage the Institute Team. Eight Schools Are Expeoted to Con- stitute the Big Kicking Association, Lightweight votaries of fooiball, such as swarm in schools of standing, will be re~ joiced to hear that the Young Men’s Christian Association football team has taken the initial step toward forming a league. The Young Men’'s Christian As- sociation were the "undefeated light- weight team of the coast last year, al- though they played no less than thirty- six games, so that it appropriately takes the initiative in this matter. At a meeting held last night the Y. M. C. A. team selected as manager Seawright, who was in the Staniord team lasi year; L. W. Sims, last year's captain, was re- | elected; Dr. D physician of the insti- tution, was elected medical adviser. Tt wus then decided to proceed to form a football league of at least five or six rep- resentative teams of t.e coast, 10 prob- ably include the Lick Polyclinie, Oakland High, Boys’ High, Cogswell's, St. Mat- thew’s, Beimont and Hoitt’s, Already the Y. M. C. A’S are figuring on their chances ol victory. They say that only two members of last year's team will be absent, and t..at their places will be creditably filled, probably by Evans, for three years captain of the Trinity School team, and possibly by Wilson of the Lick team. The team will then be composed of: Duden, center; Holcombe, Pray, guards: Sims, Kenny, tuckles; Red- can, quarter; Evans, fullback; Miller, Wilson, halfbacks; Speck, Belser, Keller, ends. This will make a pretty strong aggrega- tion, and as the Y. M. C. A,’s will start in to practice on Monday, they will not be araid to hear from all teams coming un- der the regulation 140-pound limit. Teams over that weight will be played exhibition games by arrangement. The team expects to open the foothall season at the new grounds at E ghth and Harrison streets about Septem ber 25, RESEEVO:R FOR SUNSET. The Valley by the Sea in Need of Addi- tional Water Supply. The increase of residents in the Sunset Valley during the past twelve monihs has called for an additional supply of water. Heretofore the 4-iuch main from Lake Honda has been ample to supply the few families which have located in the Sunset distirict. ings on the rise of the hill above the ele- vation of Lake Honda has come a neces- sity for a higher and a stronger pressure. Within the lasi year there have been twenty-five houses erected on the rising siope cf the nill above J street, for which ihere is no water obtainable from the Lake Honda reservoir. To supply those houses it is now proposed to place a reser- ir on the summit at Tenth avenue and P street, which can be supplied from the C arendon Heichts reservoir and which wili give a sufficient pressure to the high- est point of the Sunset district. At the present ume there are twelve new houses in course of erection south of the line where water can be furnished from the mains as now laid through the valley. Assoon as this proposed reser- voir is in condition to receive the water supply steps will be taken to have an en- gine-house and fire company located in the most central section of the valley. As it is now, the nearest engine company to this thickly settled portion of the City is situated at Waller and Stanyan streets, a distance of at least two m:les, with a very bad line of streets to drive uver in case it should be called upon to respoud o a fire. ‘Lhis, together with a scarciiy of water, places the property of the people at the meicy of the destroying agency of fire. In addstion to the wants of the Sunset Valley on the water question, the new Aftiliatea Colleges, which are being erected on Parnassus avenue (late Saili- van), will require a very exteusive water supply.

MISSIONARIES SUED. Complaints Made by Chinese Women Who ¢ Did Not Understand.”” Yuck Ying. by her attorneys, Ferrall, Wilson & Terry, has brought suit against ¥. J. Masters, superintendent of the M. E. Chinese mission-house, 916 Washington street, claiming $10,000 damages for al- leged invasion of her personal liberty. The fair plaintiff asserts that Mr. Masters, assisted by Myra C. Lake and Mary Lake, deprived her of her liberty, causing her great dis'ress and suffering. A similar suit has been instituted against Ida A. Hall and the Misses Lake by Chin See and her husband, Lee Puck Dong, the averment being that the plain- i tiff, Chin See, was unlawfully as<saulted by the defendants and that $10,000 will be required to wipe out the indignity and suifering. As may be gathered ifrom the names of the complainants these suits grow out of recent complications in Chinatown touch- jing the custody of certain Chinese women. The defendants deny that they bave done anything for which they ought to be cen- sured, but on the contrary assert that all their acts were performed for the benetit of the wom - Asa F sk’s Dollurs Safe, Judge Seawell handed down Thursday an opinion in which he sustained the demurrer to the amended complaint in the ease of Asa W. Fisk sgaiust the estate of his father, the late Asa Fisk, formeriy a well-known money- lender in this City, The claim of the younger was for £1,000,000 on account of asmall de- posit wuich he alleged he made with his father muny years ago, aud on which he de- | manded interest at the rate waich his fnther | had collected trom borrowers. Mrs, i Fisk, widow of the deceased, objected | elaim, ana the court ruled that the young | man hed not proceeded 1 the proper wey to { enforce his claim. For thatreason judgment was awarded to the estate. TNDER CIVIL SERVICR Decision Affecting Rights of Of- fice Deputy United States Marshals, | | | i They Cannot Be Removed Except for Causes Other Than Politics or Religion. | United States District Judge John Jay Jackson for the District of West Virginia has rendered an opinion which will be hailed with delight by office deputy mar- shals, inasmuch ss it places them under the operation of the civil seryice law. The opinion was rendered in the matter of the petition of Deputy United States Marshal | B. L. Priddie for an injunction to resirain Unitea States Marshal John K. Thomp- | son from discharging him. The following are points from the Judge’s opinion: Prior to the act of 1896 United States deputy marshals were all ou the samo fooung, aud held their positions at the pleasure of the | Marshal, unless removed by the District Court. By the tenth section of the act of 1896 ihere was & provision mede for a new grade of | deputy marshals to be known as office depu- ties, when in the cpinion of the Altorney- General the public service requires it, salaries 10 be fixed by the Attofney-Geners] and to be paid out of the treasury oi the United States, Section 11 of the s2me sct provides for the ap- pointment of deputy marshals who sheli be known as field deputies, aud nnjess sooner re- moved by the District Court, shall hold office during the pieasure of the Marshal, and shall receive as compensation for tbeir services three-quarie:s of their gross fees, inciuding mileage a8 provided by law. By the terms ot section 10 of the act no lim1- tation is imposed upon the tenure of the post- tion of the office deputy. ror is there any pro- vision found in theact that places the posi- tion st the pleasure of the Marsnal. He is paid directly from the treasury, but in the case of the fieid deputy the tenure of the office is at the pleasure ot the Marshel, and he is vaid out of the gross fees of the offi The Judge suys that it i1s apparent that Con- gress iutenaed io keep the office in the hands of trained men, leaving the fieid deputies | alone subject to romovai. It would seem that Congress intended that office deputies should not be removed from tneir positions by a Marshal who happened (o entertain different political opinions so ioug as such deputy was un eflicient and fuithful officer. There is no provision in the act o remove an office ceputy once iustailed in his position, not even for cause. It does mot appear that Mr. Priddie ever passed the civil service examinatiou, but being in office at the uime he was placed in tue classified service he was exewmpt from such examination. It is obvious that Congress nas undertaken by the civil service act to resirain tie exer- ¢.se of the power to remove by the appointing power. Itis evidently huped to improve the service by limiling the power o1 removal, leay- | 1ug an incumben to retain the position held untii removed for cause other thau political or religious beliet “Ii this was not the intention of Congress this civil service act is mere bruium fulmen,” says the Judge, “and the attemp: of Cougress to improve the civil service futile and abor- tive. Iconciude that when Cougress passed the nct known as the civil service actit had in view the improvemeut ana effieacy of the public service and that this was its sole pur- pose.” | 1 | - Struck by a Lunaway.

D., Pt T am acquainted with the case of the wife of a house painter n (Brooklyn, who had the grip, and was confined to the house for three months. She was in a listless state and suffered terribly with nausea. It so happened that a friend had given some Ripans Tabules to this lady’s sister who had suffered from indigestion, and as they did her so much good she thought she would try them on Mrs. Hill, feeling sure that if they did her no good they would at least do no harm. The patient was then in the hands of her physician, but soon she was so much better that her neighbors noticed the change and asked about it. She then said that she had changed her doctor, and laughingly added, my new doctor is colored—chocolate coior. It seems that ag soon as she began to take the Tabules, she began to mend. The mausea disappeared and she began to feel that the future still had days of sunshine in store for her.
