THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TRAGIC END 0F A LOVER A Rejected Jap Suitor Tries to Kill a Widow. Shinjiro Then Ends His Misery by Shooting Into His Brain. Miraculous Escape of a Baby Girl Who Was Asleep on the Bed. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 19. Had Shinjiro Matsumoto followed the pretty custom of his race and placed a bunch of flowers outside the door of his lover and been guided by their acceptance or rejection a tragedy that occurred this morning would have been avoided. Instead of press- ing his suit in genuine Japanese fash- fon Shinjiro made a formal demand for the hand of a young widow, and because it was not complied with Mrs. Tama Yuwasku is at the Recelving | Hospital suffering from three bullet | wounds and her impetuous lover is at | the Morgue. | In the Japanese quarter at Fifth and | Castro streets shooting was heard about 7 o'clock this morning. The re- ports were followed by a woman's screams and several of the boarders in the house at once went to the apart- nts whence came the noise. On the floor of the room was the dead body of Shinjiro and on the bed, unconscious and bleeding, was the young widow. Alongside of , still asleep, was her little girl, and a glance at the direction in which the bullets from the murderer’s pistol flew showed plainly that it was on! a miracle that none of them lodged in the child’'s brain. The woman was at once taken to the hospital, and the doctors found that two shots had entered her jaw and one had gone clean through her shoulders, though neither of them is necessarily fatal. After shooting the| woman the man turned the gun on himself, and his life went out with the first shot. | Yuwasku te the following “I am a widow, my husband g died about five months ago, | leaving me with this little girl. I met | tsumoto In Sacramento and came wn to Oakland looking for work last Mond To my surprise Matsu- moto wa boarding in the house. | He at once implored me to marry him, but I declined. Yesterday we went for a walk, and he repeated hls desire to | marry me. He seemed almost beside himself when I told him I did not care r him. This morning before he fin- >d dressing he came to my room and implored me to love him, and I told him it was impossible, to which he | repl that 1 was fooling with him. This not so, for I never gave him to understand that I had any affection at all for him. Without another word he produced a pistol and shot at me three times, after which he killed himself. I cannot understand how the baby did not get killed.” The landlord of the boarding house says the woman has been looking for | work and is a respectable person. An inquest on Matsumoto will be held to- | morrow night. WERE WEDDED AT ST. LUKE’S.| Nuptials of Miss Miller and | Marshal Hale Last * Evening. Miss Mae Baxter Miller and Marshal Hale were married last cvening at St. Luke's, the Rev. Mr. Moreland officating. The church was handsomely decorated with pink and white roses, that com- pletely covered the altar, and cordons of smilax that twined with artistic effect | the chancel rail. A fashionable audience that testified-to the high esteem in which the worthy | young couple are held crowded the sacred | edifice. i Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, the hour an- | nounced for the cere: the strains of “Lohengrin” announced the coming of | the bridal party. 5 The mald of honor and the bridesmaids (who were in walting at the chancel rafl) | proceeded down the aisle to meet the bride. Ranged on either side of the en- trance stood the ushers, forming a guard of honor for the bride, who entered Jean- ing on the arm of her father, Randolph C. Miller. The procession was then re- formed, the ushers leading the way, the bridesmaids following and the maid of honor preceding the bride. The groom &nd his best man met the bride at the sltar, where the impressive binding words were spoken. | The bride was handsomely attired in a | magnificent gown of whité moire and | chiffon. The skirt was fashioned of the moire and made en train. The corsage was of chiffon, all Jaid in tiny puffs. A | long vell fell into the folds of the train, | completely enveloping the slender, stylish | figure, and was fastened to the colffure with a magnificent dlamond crescent, the | gift of the groom. The bridal bouguet | was of lllies of the valley, | The bride was attended by Miss Jean- ette Conroy, who acted as maid of honor, | and Misses Lillan Schroder, Maybelle Wast, Clara Hale and Leah Young, who officiated as bridesmalds. The maid of honor wore a dainty gown of white organdie over white silk, and the | bridesmalds were_ attired alike in white organdie over pink silk. All the attend- | ants carried garlands of pink and white | roses. | Prentis C. Hale, brother of the groom, | officiated as best man, and the ushers were: Dr. E. R. Bryant, Dr. T. J. Fraser, Glenn C. Barnhart and Edward G. West. {dtde Lelana Boruck, nephew of the | pride, carried the cushion upon which | vested the wedding ring. The little fellow | Wes picturesquely attired in cream kilts. After the ceremony there was a recep- tion for the bridal party, relatives and & limited number of friends at the resi- | | | dence of the bride's parents, Mr, and Mrs. Randolph C. Miller, 1020 Baker street. Marshal Hale is one of the most popular | of the successful young business men of the community. He has spent all his| days In this _city, and recefved his educa- tion at the University of the Paclfic. In | connection with his four brothers, he has | made his name a power in the com- mercial world, and one that commands the respect and esteem of the community at large. His bride, though born in Memphis, Tenn., has been raised and educated in this city. Some of the best Kentucky blood flows in her veins, and sbe has all the attractive attributes' of good birth, high hr«‘dlng and education. She is a tall, slender demi-blonde, with ex- quisite coloring and charming tempera- ment. Mr. and Mrs. Hale will leave to-day for a three months’ Eastern trin. They will visit Chicago and New York and come home by way of Florida. In ail, they expect to be gone four months. The young couple recelved very many handsome presents, that included much costly silver, elegant falence, handsome crystal and many rare bits of bric-a-brac and works of art.

This gentleman is fond of all sorts of amusements, but the pastime that is particularly pleasing to him is the one in which a full hand is reported to beat three of a kind, and to the perfecting of | his knowledge of the various Intricacles | game he has heretofore been | of this wont to devote most of his spare time and incidentally some of his spare change, meeting the objections of his wife with the argument that there could hardly be anything wrong in what he was doing, as the leading men of the na- tion were sent to Washington by their admirers and paid $5000 a year to do e actly the same thing. His wife, who is a patient little woman, rested satisfled with this explanation, contenting herself with sending the bellboy to round up her | recalcitrant spouse whenever the hour became too Jate. A few days ago the wife's parents, who are prominently con- nected with church work in the East and imagine that their son-in-law is the very incarnation of virtue, came out on a visit. During the first evening that the old people spent with their children the son-in-law rang for icewater. He walted and walited, but no boy came to answer the call. Finally, after the button had been pressed a number of times, the door was suddenly opened and the company were electrified to hear the following: | “Oh, Mrs. X, I think your husband must be running up against some outside game. I have hunted for him in every saloon and clubroom for two blocks around, but can’'t find him.” That pan ticular bellboy will get no tip this month. C. Hedemann and F.

[ ‘ | She Attempted to End Her Life ‘While Subject to the Con- trol of Spirits. A Quiet Examination at Her Home Results in Commitment to | Agnews. | Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 19. Leona Suckert was committed to Agnews this morning as the result of an inquiry held at the residence of her brother-injJaw, Henry Evers, on San Pablo avenue. Miss Suckert is 39 years of age and has been residing for some time with her sister. About a year ago she be- came deeply interested in the Advent- ist religion, and since that time has been a very close Bible student. [ Gradually she became subject to mel- ancholia and finally religion took such |a hold on her that she imagined she | | was being persecuted by members of |*other bellefs. Medical ald was pro- | cured, but her condition gradually be- | | came wor: . [ Last Thursday she showed signs of | | violent insanity, and was watched con- | tinually by a member of the family. | Friday she believed she was being | chased by spirits and Saturday last she | cut her wrist with a razor and also at- | tempted to use the weapon on one of | her nephews. Since that time she has | been continually poring over her Bible and has been very despondent. This | | morning Mr. Evers swore to a com | plaint charging Miss Suckert with in | sanity. Her physicians decided that | she could not be taken to the Recelv- | | ing Hospital, so Judge Hall and the doctors examined her at the house, and | recommerted her commitment. She | will be taken to Agnews in a few | days. [ WORKMEN WANT THEIR WAGES Employes of Jory Bros., Shoe Manufacturers, Are Clamoring. i | Eighty of Them Are Minus Pay—The ‘Whereabouts of the Jorys Unknown. | 'Thére is weeping and wailing among the employes of the Jory Bros.' Manufactur- | ing Co., makers of boots and shoes, 63 to 73 Stevenson street. The mental angulsh in this case is in direct consequence of the closing of that concern last Monday, with two weeks’ pay due to about elghty employes. W. J. Jory is manager and E. J. Jory secretary of the suspended concern. The | workmen have been clamoring for their | due and hunting high and low for the | brothers Jory for the past forty-eight hours, but they have not succeeded in finding their late employers, nor have they vet discovered any plan by which | they can get the $600 or so which IS said to | be thelr right, nor any fraction thereof. It had been agreed upon by the em- | ployes to levy an attachment yesterday to secure their claims, but they were dis- | suaded from that course when an investi- | gation disclosed the fact that there was | nothing to attach. It is stated that the | | Jorys, prior to their disappearance, had | collected all the money due the concern, and that there was no property in the | factory subject to attachment. The plant used by this concern Is owned | by the Nolan Bros. Shoe Company, which | 1eased it to the Jory company about two | years ago. The manufacturing company | | seems to have done a fair business of | late, and the employes were not anticipat- | ing ‘any such trouble as has come upon them. Both of the Jory brothers have resided | for some time past at 3515 Twenty-third street. A visitor there last night found | it deserted and learned from neighbors of the Jorys that the latter had moved away the day before—whence no one could say. It was rumored yesterday morning that the Jorys had salled for the Klondike on the steamer Excelsior last Thursday, but | the report was denied later on. At all | events, it is certain that the employes of this factory have no idea where to find their late employers nor where to look | for the wages due them FRATERNAL SOCIETIES.

Elaborate and Impressive Ceremony at the Rus- sian Orthodox Chucrh. Peter Popoff, nephew of Bishop Nicholas of the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Miss Julia Metropolsky were married last evening in the Russian church, street, the Bishop officiating at on Powe! ceremony. There were no floral decorations in the edifice. upon the altar, heavily draped with white brocade, embroidered In gold, and the air was heavily laden with incense. The ceremony, splendid in the extreme, sian, the unaccompanied choir chanting the responses in the same tongue. The Bishop, clothed in robes of white brocade, richly embroidered in gold ond glittering with precious stones, thrice led the youthful couple around the holy altar, thrice held the jeweled crowns above their heads, and thrice made them | drink of the blessed wine. Rings were exchanged, and to the pleasure of a large audlence crowded the gorgeous little church, the happy groom publiely prociaimed that | he took Julia Metropolsky to bethis lawfully wedded wife. i The bride was attended by Miss Lydia Molowonsky, maid of honor, and her two littie sisters, Alexandria and Natalle Metropolsky, who acted as bridesmalds. There were four groomsmen, George Metropolsky, George Dabovich, Paul Grebachevsky and George Tzikowris. The bride was attired in a modish gown of white tulle over white taffeta. A vell and orange blossoms completed the costume. The mald of honor and bridesmaids were attired alike in white organdie e silk. After the ceremony the Bishop entertained the bridal party and invited guests in the parlors of the church, and then a reception fol- lowed at the home of the bride’s parents on Union and Taylor streets. Mr. Popoff, who is at present a reader in the church, will, now that he has taken unto himself a wife, shortly be ordained a priest in the Eastern over whi Orthodox Church.

The Collector Ordered to Pay His Family $78 Alimony Each Succeeding Month. The troubles of Joseph Shain, the debt collector, and Grace E. Shain are at an end—that is, as far as marital troubles are concerned. Judge Daingerfield yes- terday granted the latter a divorce from her husband on iae ground of intemper- | ance, and ordered that the collector pay $75 a month toward the support of Mrs. Shain and her two children until the further order of the court. The granting of the decree of divorce put an end to a bitter legal contest, but during the contest, the family skeleton of the liti- gants was dragged forth by the lawyers with scant ceremony. When the case was called yesterday morning, after a rest of several days, At- torney Reid, who represented the de- fendant, requested the court to conduct the case behind closed doors, as unfair criticisms had been made. This the court refused to do, and the trial proceeded. Mrs. Shain was recalled, and reiterated her testimony given on the stand last week. Many additional tales of trouble were also told by Mrs. Shain, and all went to substantiate her accusations 3 sband. e 'the left the stand her husband was recalled, and he shed some light on several points that caused unhngr\ness in his home. He told the story of his loss of $10,000 on stocks and how and why he left the city at that time and of the trouble that loss brought to him and his. He also explained to the court the com- plaint made against him that he had lost much money playing the races. At first, he said, he simply wagered a few dollars on the horses when business took him to the track, but later bet larger amounts. His wife accompanied him several times to the Bay District track, and when he ood winnings he would always S?fi’hfr a goodly share, that she might Koy ite the more. His wife, he suid, ever objected to his playing the races :fl long. a’s she profited thereby, but when the difficulty arose between them she counted his gamblini Pmpen!lueu among his multitude of sinful habits. The case was argued after Mr. Shain jeft the stand, and shortly after it was submitted Judge Daingerfield granted the plaintiff a decree as praved for. The at- torney representing Shain objected to the order of the court granting alimony in the sum of $75 & month, as he said it was altogether too large an amount to hang as a judgment over his ciient's head, The court, however, did not agree. and ordered that the alimony be paid on the 25th of each succeeding month. This closed the proceedings, and Mrs. Shain, With & smile of satisfaction on her face, left the courtroom, accompanied by her T N R S Divorce Suits Flled. Charles D.

Hage complains that his wife deserted him some time ago and refuses to return to her home. —_———— Gave Himself Up.

CRETHCITS 1N PROSPECT Choynski Will Leave Chicago for This City in a Few Days. In Future Puglilists Must Battle for = Percentage of Re- ceipts. The Choynski and “Tut” Ryan twenty. round contest which will take place un der the auspices of the Empire Athletl Club, is booked for the evening of Feb. ruary 11, at Mechanics’ Pavilion. Eddie Graney, who is looking out for Choynski's interests on this coast, tele- graphed to the pugilist on Tuesday that the match was made and that everything | pertaining to the mill had been satisfac. torlly arranged. Choynski replied from Chicago that he was in splendid condi- tion and would leave for the coast right away. Ryan has already commenced to train for the match, and Lansing and Baker | are also hard at work taking off soft | flesh at their respective training stations. | | | Choynski and Kyan will box twenty rounds for a percentage of the receipts, and Lansing and Baker wili meet in ten-round “go”" for a percentage also. In case the Supervisors grant permits to the National and Occidental Clubs—which | in all probability they will under certain | | conditions—a conference will be held among the managers of the three clubs for the purpose of agreeing upon a sched» | ule of percentages or rates which the pugllists must agree to or look elsewhere for engagements. Heretofore the clubs held out a game among themselves called diamond cut diamond, and as a result the fighters! carted off the heavyweight end of the receipts, leaving the clubs a small per- celltase when the expenses that were at- tached to the game had been defrayed. In future a new rule will be strictly | adhered to. At least the managers of the | clubs who are interested in fisticuffs have decided that the pugilists must be con- tented with percentages instead of fabul- ous purses, and if this propgsed scheme is carried out by the clubs interested in the game, there will be a remarkable de: crease in the number of “swelled heads™ noticeable for some time past among the army of pugilists located in this city. Peter Jackson iIs training faithfully in Alameda for anything that may turn up in the way of a match. Peter Is_toler- ably confident of meeting Peter Maher in the near future.
