10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1897. has just returned from tbe East in good form, and Judge Denny, who made such a good running in his last race, it was dif- ficult to pick the winner. The Judge showed well in the preliminary canter | and was the favorite at something worse than just even. He led well all the way to the paddock and looked asif he would be an easy winner, but Shasta Water came up with 8 rush and pressed him hard. She faltered just before the wire and “Skeets” Martin showed the zood jockey and rode for his life, barely landing Denny winner. Grady came very fast at the| firish and ended a good third, while | Deyil’s Dream fell out after being a good second all the way round to the stretch.

Time, 1:43 s | been quite handy in Rai | the high office of chairman of the General Commiittee he commenced looking around for & successor who would be acceptable to himself and he otber committeemen. Major Harney made the mistake of for- getting that there was such a personage in the Democratic ranks as Samuel Rainey. Rainey did not forget that there wasa wever, and he im- F. Ragan as Ragan bas v politics for the past faw years. As chairman of the last municipal convention he proved him- selfa good programmer and there were no slips or hitches. The business of the convention was conducted just as Rainey wished Rainey is not forgetful of fealty to his cau-e, and when a vacancy occurred in the Board of School Directors Dr. Ragzan was | given the place, Since he has been in the board he bas faithfully looked after the in- terests of his friend and is now quite close up to the Rainey throne. Inconsequence, Ragan was the choice of Rainey for cam- paign committeeman. Rainey had decided on his man long before the committeemen of the Thirty- seventh District had concluded canvass- ing the merits of applicants for the cov- eted position. The committeemen agreed on Frank Hughes, who, during the reign of Sullivan and Dwyer over local Demo- cratic affairs, acted as secretarv of the County Committee. Hrnphes, who, it is said, will be pre- sented with a $1756 a month job on the water front on the 1st of December, was the choice of Harney and the majority ot the Thirty-seventh District committee. Hurney, as chairman of the General Committee and ex-officio chairman of the campaign committee, said ihat he would name Hughes as his suce Rainey decreed other programme to Harney, containing the name of Dr. Ragan as committeeman, Then the trouble commencea. Thedis- trict members howled and objected to Dr. Ragan, but all in vain. Rainey warited Ragan and that settled the matter. So it was with great digsatisfaction that Chair- man Harney announced Friday night that Dr. D. F. Ragan would suceeed him as campaign commiiteeman. There isa row zow on in the Tnirty-first District in consequence, and Rainey will have a job on his hands to get growlers back in line, The Campaign Committee of the Sul van Democ:acy met last night and adopted several amendments to the con- stitution and by-laws of the party. The amendments are made with the intention of placing greater powers in the hands of the chairman in the matter of filling va- cancies. The General Committee of 110 members will meet Monday night in Bal- boa Hall to consider the suggested changes and to reorganize the party. It was expected that Chairman Sullivan wonld announce the names of the suc- cessors selected to fill the four vacancies in the general committee caused by the resignation of James H. Barry, Charles Holcomb, J. Keisel and H. C. Gesford, but he stated that he had not arrived at any determination in the matter. The followers of Boss Buckley who took a hand in the last municipal campaign and placed a ticket in the field under the title oi the *““Anti-charter party” are wak- ing up from the knockout blow they received on election day. They are be- ginning to get around in a lively manner, and declare they are going to take a hand in_the charter fight. Dr. Billy Gavigan, whko is one of Rainey’s leading lights, has been in con- sultation for several weeks with Charles McCarthy, the water-front boarding- house boss, who has always remained faithful to Buckley’s izterests. The resuit of the consuliations is that the ‘‘Anti- Charter party’ is again in the field. A secret meeting of about 100 of the members ot the Buckley convention was held last Friday night and it was decided to take anactive part in the charter elec- von. Charles McCarthy was chosen chair- man and he will call the old committee together at an early date. The members say that they intend indorsing a board of non-partisan freeholders and it is safe to E;edict that the non-partisan board will the one on which the Rainey commit- tes agrees. v to be fille:, t —_—— ADVANCES made oD furniiure and pianos, with orwitbout removal J, Noonan, 1017-1028 Mission b—_ S pallbearers lowered into the grave the body of one who a few years ago fizured in a bloody shooting scrape in tne streets of Fresno. The dead man in free life was known by the name of J. L. Stillman, but for the past seven years his identity has been buried under a convict’s number and -arb. He was the man who in 1889 shot and killed Jobn D. Fisk on the corner of Mariposa and J streets in Fresno, and the tragedy recal!s the scandall in which Mrs, Fisk, since Mrs. Marceau and now Mrs. Fennell, wss involved. Stillman was a man of simple mind and his home was in the city of the plains. For all, he was not very brilliant in the most of matters, still be was a natural inventor, and among the various articles he brought forth was a patent car-coupler, which has since founda favor with the railroad people and proved of value. Shortly a fter the car-coupler was p roduced Fisk became interested in it and he ma de some kind of arrangement with the inventor to place it upon the market Fisk was a very unpopular man and many of the people of Fresno disliked uim most heartily, so much so that it was said they would not hesitate to put up a *job” on him to get rid of him. Knowing that Stillman was simple- minded these people imposed upon him and made him believe that Fisk was about to swindle him out of his patent. Still- man was so aroused he vowed that before such a thing should happen he would kill Fisk. Asaresult he went armed for sey- eral days. At last the opportunity ar- rived and S.illman took Fisk to task for his duplicity, and in the quarrel that ensned Fisk was made so angry that he struck Stiliman on the head with his cane. It was a blow that sealed his own fate, for the simple-minded fellow drew his re- volver and aimed at his asseilant. F sk ran scross the street, but could not escape from Stillman’s bullet, for the lat- ter took deliberate aim and fired. Fisk fell mortally wounded, and death foilowed soon after. Stillman was sent to prison for iife. The excitement of the murder and trial, followed by the confinement of prison life, completely unsettled Stiliman’'s mind, and three years after he was sent to the asylum a maniac. Two years after the doctors at Agnews pronounced him sane and he was sent back to the prison. Scarcely a month elapsed before he was again sent to the asylum, where he re- mained for two years, returning to San Quentin last June. A month or so ago the man began to show signs of breaking down, and he con- tinued on this course, growing weaker mentally and physically, until he bee1rae a skeleton ana his brain was dead. About midpight Friday the real death came, and yesterday the body was placed in the nar- row hole on the hillside, where there are so many headboards that bzar no names— only numbers.

Al PEACE FOR MONGOLIANS Kong Chow Association Will Intercede and Stop All Boycotting, The Organization Decides to Pick Up the Gauntlet It Threw Down Many Months Ago. With the setting of the sun to-night the olive branch of peace will wave over the Mongolians, one and all. The merchant, th: opulent and the poor will cast aside the coat of mail and breathe with ease. The batechet man will lay aside his weapons; will abandon them to the rust of time and let good judgment quench his thirst for gore. The rooms wherein the vaid assassins used to schgme away the lives of feliow-countrymen will be aban- doned to the dust, and the busy spider may spin his web undisturbed by those whose only thoughts were of crime and blood. Such is the prophecy of the priests who for a week past have been chanting their prayers before the ‘‘good joss'’ in the home of the Kong Chow Asylum As. sociation. Many months ago a new president for the association was to be chosen. As the organization is one of the most powerful in Chinatown there was some brisk trickery among the politicians with almond eyes to win the position. The Kong Chow Association is composed of See Yups, but the batile waged for the position of president trangressed the boundaries of that faction, and the Sam Yups soon found them- selves hot in the midst of battle. Wnen the smoke cleared away the See Yups, who had nothing to do with the Kong Chow Association, affiliated with it to give battle to the Sam Yups, who had interfered with the progress ot the elec- tion. In ashort time many the Sam Yup Things looked cloudy after the action of the Kong Chow Association for a time and more blood was spilled. Finally there came a lull in the storm, but within the 1est few weeks hostilities again threatened to break out. A week a0 the great feast of the Kong Chows was inaugurated. It will close to-night with the burning of the wicked devils and with low salaams be- fore the good rtinsel gods. The feast over, the Kong Chow Association will act as intermediator and settle the d'fficulty be- tweer the warring factions. The gauntlet it threw down it will now pick up and ask that peace will reign for evermore. B o The house of Worth at Paris rarely r£nnkes a lady’s dress that costs less than 20. merchants found themeeives boycoited by | the See Yups, and the fight began in earnest, Man after man was shot' down on the streets of the pagan quarter, and =0 seri- 1ous did the enmity becween the two fac- tions become that it was finally taker offi- cial coguizance of by the Chinese Govern- ment. The Kong Chow Association be- came alarmed at the magnitude the fight was assuming and withdrew from the boy- cott. This raised a howl on all sides. The Sam Yups questioned the motive of the association in withdrawing from the bov- cott and looked upon it with suspicion, while the See Yups pointed the finger of scorn at the organization that had led them into a fight only to desert them in the midst of it. .
