J. A. CAMPBELL, Judge. ete. Dated this Sth da of January, 1898, WILL MEET SOCIALLY. Commercial Travelers to Tender the Retail Grocers an Enter- tainment and Ball. The California Commercial Travelers’ Association has arranged an entertain- ment and ball to be given to the retail grocers of this city at Native Sons’ Hall on Monday evening next. The affair is the first of a series of entertainments to be given with the idea of drawing the trade closer to- gether. As the retail grocers and the travelers have much in common, a great benefit will undoubtedly arise from having them meet on a friendly footing. Thefilpst professional talent has been | secured, and the arrangements are so complete that everything points to- ward the success of the affair. —_——— Cancer in the Eye Cured. In an interview yesterday Edmund Smith of Blenheim, Cal., stated that he had cancer in the eye twelve years. Two of the most noted surgeons in San Francisco cut it out twice, but it returned each time, as is always the case when cut. Dr. Chanley of 719 Market street killed the cancer with his painless plaster, taking off both lids and all the front of the eyeball. The cure is perfect. He sends seventy- five page book, free, on cancers and tumors cured without knife or pain. —————— Sues for Insurance Premiums. The Globe Fire Insurancé Company of New York yesterday commenced suit against E. W. 8.

J.Noonan,1017-1023 Mission. DURRANT DID 0T CONFESS Guard Arbogast Heard the Priest’s Query Answered. | The Prisoner’s Farewell Letter to Deuprey Received Yesterday. Arrangements for the Disposition of the Body—Rev. Dr. Rader’s | Belief. | | Out in the little cottage at 425 Fair | Oaks street, in the small parlor with curtains closely drawn, lies all that is mortal of William Henry Theodore Durrant. In the back room Mrs. Dur- rant sat and wept all day, repeating over and over again to herself, almost as a sort of lullaby, the words, “They have succeeded in taking my boy away from me. I hope they are happy at last.” The father was calmer, and attend- ed to the minor details of the family affairs as carefully as ever. The milk- man failed to stop at the house the day before, realizing that nobody | would be there, but yesterday the eld- | er Durrant saw Policeman E. F. Bode and had the regular supply of milk left as usual. Nobody came and stood around the house to exhibit any morbid curiosity, and but few friends called to extend their sympathy. Those who did were received by a little old woman, who carried all messages and closely bolted the door as soon as she heard the words, permitting no one to enter. It is expected that the body of the executed man will be cremated to-day t Odd Fellows’' Cemetery. A burial at ea has received some consideration. Guard Arbogast, one of the death| watch, was in this city yesterday. He says he heard everything that passed between Father Lagan and Durrant at the time he was received into the | Catholic faith, and that the prisoner, when questioned, firmly denied his| guilt. . | Rev. Dr. Rader has also expressed his belief in the fact that Durrant committed the murders attributed to him, and admits that he has been of that opinion ever since he interviewed Durrant in his cell. He thinks Dur- rant knew his opinion on account of | the irritable attitude assumed by the prisoner toward him. | Attorney Deuprey received a letter from Durrant yesterday, which had been intrusted to the care of Attorney | C. W. Smythe, one of the friends Dur- | rant named to be present at the exe- cution. The lawyer also brought let- ters for General Dickinson and Attor: ney Boardman, both of whom are ab- | sent from the city. Deuprey’'s letter | reads as follows: E. N. Deuprey Esq.—My Dear Friend: I cannot write you as I feel. You have | done nobly, and in the true sense of the word have gained a victory even in the | light of circumstances. The victory is really ours. We have proven innocence, | and our name and family shall for all time to come be looked upon with respect | by more than the thousands who now | respect and believe in us. This must | grow, and nothing must prevent it. Re- member, there are no sensations, confes- sions or stories. If such appear as hav- | ing emanated from here or the guards_i ete., I deny them, because I have seen no one. I also have their signed state- | ment to that effect, which I shall give to | mother. { Mr. Deuprey, you know I am innocent | and free from any crime as accused. But | it is all past now, and quietness for the! time must reign, for the noble mother, father and sister need rest and peace, | Let the name remain honored just as it | is_and {wlp t;) sustain I: a‘l):;y;y, Feiidl] Now must go, SO not g -by. | revoir. THEO. | The Durrants have ascertained that | while the Catholie church, as a church, is not in favor of cremation, yet it is not absolutely prohibited. Therefore | they telegraphed late last evening to | the Los Angeles Crematory asking if the body could be cremated there. At a late hour no reply had been received. It is the parents’ intention to carry out the wish of the executed man in this respect if it can be done. As no burial permit has yet beén procured from the Board of Health, although this will be forthcoming at any time, it is entirely probabie that wheter the body cre- mated or buried it will not be disposed of until to-morrow.

Moonlight to the residents of Sun- set Valley is as welcome as is sunshine to the residents of the Klondike at this season of the year. The reason for this condition of af- fairs is that the people living in the Sunset Valley although belonging to the municipality of San Francisco are as devoid of artificial lights as if the section was 100 miles distant from any civilized , community. As a result of this condition neighbors never think of making visits after sundown unless they provide themselves with a dark lantern. Strange as it may seem, it Is a fact | that there are no gas or electric lights | provided for the residents of the Sun- | set Valley. The lamps nearest the val- | ley are fully a mile distant, at the cor- | ner of Carl and Stanyan streets, and from this place out to the ocean there | is rot a glimmer of artificial light save what is produced by either candle or coal oil within the houses in the dis- trict. The ‘“generous” gas and elec- tric light company has time and again made fair promises to rTun an electric | wire into the dismal valley of dark- | ness, but, alas, corporation promises | and corporation conscience seem about } NEW TO-DAY.

As to a water supply the residents simply dig wells in their back yards and pump what is neces- | sary for the family use. But with the water company there is an excuse on the ground that the streets are not laid out or graded, and until this is done it would be unfair to expect the compa- ny to put in mains. No such excuse can be advanced on the part of the gas and electric lisht company, so the preperty owners say, from the fact that wires can be strung over sand hills, streets or no streets.
