She Struggled Nearly Forty-Eight Hours. in Convulsions for BERKELEY, Feb. 4.—Deputy Coroner Streightif is investigating the case of Mrs. an Italian woman, who a, died here last Monday under very pecu- liar circumstances. Last Friday evening she called on one of the neighbors and complained that her husband was trying to kill her. After talking a few minutes she fell into what was apparently an epileptic fit, and ef- forts to revive her proved Her husband soon arrtved on the scene and took her home with him, but re- fused to send for a doctor until Sunday morning, when the neighbors threatened that if he did not call in a physician they would do so themselves. He then sullen- 1y complied and called in Dr. Hoagland, who dlagnosed the case as epilepsy, but as the woman had already been in that state twenty-four hours he could ‘not speak positively, and Dr. Woolsey was also called in. The two physicians did all in their power to rally the sufferer, but their ef- forts were futile, and she died early Monday morning. Dr. Hoagland gave a certificate to the effect that his patient had died from epilepsy, and her hus- band immediately made arrangements with an Italian undertaker in San Fran- cisco for the disposal of the body. This aroused the suspicions of the neighbors, and they at once began an investigation of the case. It was discovered that Steiva was In the habit of abusing his wife, and this coupled with the fact that he had hesi- tated in calling In a physician and had the body taken to San Francisco led them to suspect foul play. The case was then lald before Deputy Coroner Streightif, and he will make the fullest investigation possible under the circum- 4, 10 p. m.~Weather | 6 miles. i Rellef with ship Luclile in tow, | hroeder, | | a song by the double male | Olivet Church. unavailing. | a—On Feb 3 at 5:30 p m met tug | SUlphuric Acid and Cyanide of Harry | | ticultural Commissioner for Sanger dis- | said: | Endeavorers was one to be proud of. DEATH T0 THE VINE-HOPPER Experimental Slaughterin Two Vineyards of Fresno. Potassium Does the Good Work. | Commissioner Rose Discoversa Prep- | aration for Which a Reward Is Offered. Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Feb. : Rose, the Hor- trict, believes that he has discovered a | preparation which will kill the de-| structive thrips or vine hoppers, Whichi played havoe with the vineyards last | season and threatened to work great injury the coming season. Mr. Rose experimented - yesterday with his preparation at Alex Gordon's and Dr. Estleman's vineyards, and both the owners of those places ex- pressed themselves as being perfectly | satisfied that at last something had been found which means death to the hopper. The preparation is not a new one, being composed of equal parts of sulphuric acid and cyanide of potas- | ium, and is the same that is used on | the orange trees in Southern California for the red and purple scale. Almost | every known insecticide had been tried | for the hoppers, but all of them failed. | At last Mr. Rose thought to try the| ‘preparation on the thrips and it is the | only thing that has proved s@iccessful. | The preparation can be used now and | also in milder form when the Vines begin to leaf. Mr. Rose recommends | its application at night, for then the | pests take to the vines. The mixture | is made right under the vine, and in two minutes the pests are dead. The sulphuric acid js placed in an iron ves- | sel and the cyanide of potassium put | in. The vine stump is immediately | covered with a barrel or canvas tent| in order to prevent the escape of the Rose will claim the $500 reward | which was cffered at the State Fruit | Growers’ Convention at Sacramento for a preparation that would Kkill the thrip. Alex Gordon offered $300 and $200 was offered by another prominent grower. The commissioner will donate the money to the Methodist church at Sanger. Alex Gordon was asked last night by The Call correspondent what he thought of the preparation, and he “There is no doubt in the world | but it kills those vine hoppers. It's the only thing in the world that wil do it except an ax or a club. It is the first successful experiment I ever saw. | It 'even kills those under the old leaves. After the experiment which was made at my place every one of the thrips was | dead. It is worthy of a great deal of consideration, and will be a boon to the | vineyardists. It will be rather expen- | sive, but expense is not a question with | the vineyardists when their whole crop is in danger of destruction.” GOLDEN GATE UNION. | Rev. J. A. B.

She and her husband retreated into the house, but before they could close the door a rock struck their baby. After they closed the door the Katz family continued to. throw rocks till they almost broke down the door. Warrants were issued for the arrest of the Katz family on the charge of battery. | This is not the first time the Katz fam- ily has been in trouble, and the father and mother have been arrested several times for battery upon their nelghbors.

A GREAT FIRE VISITS JUNEAU Government Buildings and Courthouse Are Destroyed. Said to Be the Greatest Con- flagration That Ever Visited Alaska. A Murder That Leads to the Death of a Mother and Her Babe Special Dispatch to The Call. JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 31 (by steam- ship City of Seattle to Victoria, Feb. 5). —To-night the most severe conflagra- tion that ever occurred in Alaska, next to the burning of Baranoff Castle, the old Russian Capitol building at Sitka, March 17, 1894, visited Juneau. The Government building and courthouse, occupying the most conspicuous eleva- tion in the city, was burned to the ground. Nearly all the Government records were lost. A heavy gale was blowing and no fire departmerit on earth, leaving out of consideration the two hosecarts that Juneau has, could have extinguished the castle of roaring fire, The illumination was seen for forty miles up Lynn canal, and it lighted up beautifully the surrounding moun- tains of snow. Despite repeated petitions the au- thoritles at Washington have refused to provide fire plugs for the city or a safe for the records. The loss is al- most irreparable. The brass ball of the flagstaff, which melted and ran into a shapeless mass, was picked out of the ruins and sold the same night after it cooled by weight as a gold nugget to a Klondiker awaiting the next day’'s boat to Puget Sound. The Government jail was also in the building. All the half dozen prisoners were liberated. One of them volun- tarily helped United States Commi: sioner Ostrander to save records of his office. The fire was caused by the ex- plosion of a lamp. The riffraff of the earth {s collecting in large numbers at Skaguay and Dyea. It very nearly controls the for- mer town at the present time. The third murder occurred there last night. Two men are lying dead, one woman and her babe are dead, as a re- sult of the shock, and a third man is seriously, if not fatally, wounded. Edrly in the evening the beautiful young wife of Deputy United States Marshal Mark Rowan presented him a son. Dr. J. H. Moore, formerly of Poca- tello, Idaho, assisted at the presents tion. The Marshal said he would ac- company the doctor home, as it was late and the town was filled with tough characters. On his return Rowan, who was also correspondent at Ska- guay for the Anaconda Standard, heard a big row in Rice's dance hall and opera house. He stepped in just in time to get in range of an indiscrim- inate shooting and drew his own re- volver. A man named McQuadeclaimed to have been robbed by a woman and demanded restitution of the money. ‘When refused he drew a revolver and Jim Fay, a bartender, shot him dead. Then a drunken man drew his revolver and began shooting in all directions. It is not known where McQuade came from. Mark I. Rowan was appointed from New Whatcom, Wash. When she heard of the death of her husband the shock | in her weak condition was too much and she died. The new-born infanc followed his mother a few hours later. There is great indignation among the best classes of citizens of Skaguay. An indignation meeting was being held yesterday morning when the City of Seattle left, and a vigilance commit- tee will probably be formed to take the law in its own hands. It was suggest- ed that a few hangings on Broadway might have the desired effect, and it is probable that the next outrage will be followed by a hanging party. Fay He claims self-de- fense. There has been a hold-up or a burglary or something of that sort nearly every night for the last three weeks. HAL HOFFMAN. EPWORTH ASSEMBLY.

Charles Draper, a stenographer, must either pay the woman who used to be his wife alimony in the sum of $25 a month or go to jail. Several months ago the stenographer’s wife was granted a di- vorce from him and he was ordered to pay alimony. Up to date he has refused, and yesterday morning he appeared be- fore Judge Troutt in answer to a sum- mons that he appear and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. Draper was on hand, but stol- idly refused to offer an explanation. In consequence Judge Troutt adjudged him in contempt and sentenced him to five days in the County Jail. A stay of exe- cution was granted, however, until next Tuesday, and if the alimony be not forthcoming by that time the sentence of the court will be carried into execution. e S ‘Wife-Beater Convicted. D. C. Vanier, the salesman arrested on Thursday on complaint ot Colonel Par- nell of the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children for beating his wife, was convicted by Judge Low yesterday, and was_ordered to appear for. sentence to-day. Vanler’s conduct in court toward his wife was offensive in the extreme, and he had to be cautioned by the Judge several times. He escaped last time for brutally beating his child, as the jury thought he was scarcely responsible for his actions. —_—e Wants a New Jail. OAKLAND, Feb. -4—Mayor Thomas will file a communication with the City Council Monday evening, showing the ne- cessity of providing suitable quarters at once for the city’s prisoners. He believes the matter one of great urgency and will advocate the building of a new prison wg:ere sunshine may be had in every part of it. He believes it a crime to keep men and women in such a cold, damp and un- sanitary place as the present City Prison. THEIR LITTLE HOME VACANT Owners of Property at Pleasanton Have Dis- appeared. Mrs. Phillips Left Without Any Provision for Her Estate. The Little Girl Who Stayed With Her Has Also Dropped From Sight. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 4. The people of Pleasanton are anxious to know what has become of a Mrs. Phillips and a little child, who lived for a long while at the corner of Second and Neil streets in that town. Their little cottage has been deserted, and no one is able to find the late tenant. About twenty years ago Mrs. Phil- 1ips and her husband came to thiscoun- | try.and acquired a little cottage, where they lived for many years. He was an engineer, an expert at his profession and seldém out of employment. He be- came a slave to liquor, commenced to abuse his wife, and in consequence they separated. This happened about ten years ago. He went away, and Mrs. Phillips remained in possession of the cottage. The woman was very reticent, and no one was able te learn anything about her antecedents or her business. She had no confidantes and no associ- ates, and, although she occasionally did housework for her neighbors, they were never able to learn anything of her | 11fe’s history. She rarely left her little cottage, and was never known to have a visitor, and, although she lived in Pleasanton many years, acquaintances were few. A short time since some one appeared who wished to purchase the little cottage and lot, and the neighbors were surprised to find that the inmates could not be found. trace of Mrs. Phillips or the child, and when the townsfolk compared notes no one could be found who had seen Mrs. Phillips for the past two months. As soon as it became known that there was a chance to sell the property real estate dealers started out to find the owners, but have so far been unsuc- cessful. On one occasion Mrs. Phillips told a friend that the little child did not be- There was no | long to their family, but was thedaugh- | ter of a dear friend, and that is all she would say. No one is able to throw any light on her whereabouts or plans, and the house is locked up, the blinds are down, and, while there is no reason | to suspect a tragedy if the house were explored, still there are many who re- gard the little cottage as a place fl"omI DERAILED BY A BROKEN AXLE Engineer Ed S. Lincoln Has a Narrow Escape From Death. Caught Between His Engine and Ten- der With Frelght Cars All About. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 4. A bad wreck occurred this afternoon about half past 3 o 'clock near Hercules, Contra Costa County, by the breaking of an axle on the tender of a freight train, and Engineer Ed 8. Lincoln of 1403 Ninth street, Oakland, is laid up in Fablola Hospital with his right ankle badly frac- tured, besides other bruises too numerous to mention. That was not instantly killed is a wonder, to all who know the full details of the accident. That no one else was hurt Is almost a miracle, as the fire man and head brakeman are always on the engine and in most cases at the Pomt another brakeman is there to help oad freight or do the switching. Train 22, the local freight, was within a dozen miles of the end of its run when the accident happened. The usual time was being made when the axle of the _tender dropped off without warning, throwing the end of the tender down. The cars following piled up on it in an in- stant in a great mass. . In his effort to stop the train Engineer Lincoln nearly lost his life. As he shut off the steam the derailed cars jerked his engine, throwing him from his seat. He was caught between the engine and ten- der and was unable to move. The train was soon stopped and the sufferer released. The pler was notified and the company surgeon and wrecking crew went to the scene of the accident. The tracks are numerous there, and all trains were switched by with but little delay., Lincoln was placed aboard the first one and brought to this city to the Fnbiola Hospital, where he was cared or. T. Inquiry at the hospital to-night showed that Lincoln would be laid up some time, as his injurles are very severe. The bones are badly shattered, besides his muscles are strained in all parts of his body. He is able to talk and says his fireman stayed at his post. The bump- ing of the train from behind as he shut off the steam is what unseated him and caused him to get caught as he did. The fireman was thrown into his coal bin, but not hurt. The cars went all over everywhere, but the engine remained on the roadbed. The cars had piled them- selves upon the engine and one another in such a manner as to make it almost impossible to remove them. The wrecker worked the greater part of the night in clearing away the debris. To-night's through trains were but little delayed by the accident. » —_————— THE QUARANTINE MESS. Dispute Between the State and Fed- eral Authorities Revived. The dispute between the State and Fed- eral authorities as to the appointment of a quarantine officer, which has been hanging fire for several months, was re- vived yesterday. A charge brought by Dr. Chalmers, the State quarantine officer, against Captain Fitch of the steamer Gaelic, and Pilot Jordan for refusing to permit him*to in- spect the ship's papers and passengers on the arrival of the vessel on Septem&er 11 last, was called in Judge Conldh's court. The defendants were represented by Attorney Foulds and the prosecution by Attorney Joseph J. Dunne. Dr. Willlamson of the Board of Health was the only witness for the prosecu- tion, and Dr. Rosenau, the Federal quar- antine officer, for the defense. Docu- ments were also submitted as evidence on both sides. The case was continued till next Tuesday for argument. —————— ‘Wanted in Los Angeles, E. Jose was arrested yesterday by De- tective Jerry Dinan and Deputy Sheriff McClure of Los Angeles on a bench war- rant following an indictment of the Grand Jury charging him with obtaining money by false pretenses. McClure was densely ignorant as to the case, but thought it was in connection with some land swindle. He left with his prisoner by last evening's train. A% GENEROUS GIFT OF RACING MEN Fabiola to' Open Its Fine Surgical Pavilion To-Day. Annual Reports Show That the Hospital Is Very Flourishing. Much Charity Has Been Shown to Patients Who Could Not Pay. Oakland Office- San Francisco Call, 908. Broadway, Feb. 4. Fabiola Hospital completed its twen- tleth year of humane work to-day, and at the annual meeting held this after- noon the' reports of the officers were very gratifying, and show that the in- stitution is in a very flourishing con- dition. Mrs, Sarah B. Yule, president of the Fabliola Assoclation, took occasion in | her report to give a comprehensive idea of the work going on in this institu- tion. & To-morrow the new surgical annex of the hospital will be opened for pub- lic inspection, and it is sald to be the most perfectly arranged department of its kind in this State. According to the | report, this great improvement was | rendered possible by the generosity of | Thomas H. Willlams Jr., president of | the Oakland race track, who institut- ed a Fabiola Derby day, giving the en- tire receipts to the hospital. A glance | at the treasurer’s report shows that the | amount from this source reached the generous sum of $3969. | at Berkeley. With this money the directory decid- ed td build the new quarters, and Mr. W. Letts Oliver visited and examined | many hospital and operating rooms, | and from reports received from Europe | and the East he compiled the plans on | which the building was constructed. | The result is a surgical pavilion com- | plete in itself and separated from every other part of the hospital. It consists of two operating rooms, laboratory, an- esthetlic room, sterilizing room and | other apartments, contributing to the | perfection of surgical technique. In her report Mrs. President Yule says: ‘“A physician of -large experi- ence said to me recently, ‘I have always thought that women cannot manage a hospital, and that a hospital, to be suc- | cessful, must be managed by physi- cians, but when I go to Fabiola and find everything so clean and sweet and | cheerful, my patients receiving such | excellent care, and everything mov- ing so smoothly, I say that only women can manage a hospital’ In both as- sertions I think him wrong, for it is a work that calls for the united efforts of women and men, and while our boards of directors and managers are women at Fabiola, and women are tak- | ing the responsibility and active man- | agement, we have been so loyally as- | sisted by men, not only financially but | wherever their scientific knowledge or | fully recognize this work, as no women’s, not men’s, but humanity’s Several other improvements have been added to the hospital, and the fol- lowing paragraph shows how many patients have paid and how many have been treated without payment.. “During the year we have cared | for 570 patients in the hospital and 101 | out-patfents, making a total of 673. Of these 105 have been unable to pay any- thing, 133 have paid a part of the costs, and 49 have paid just the costs. The others have paid regular hospital prices. The amount of money expended in caring for patients unable to pay, | was $5186 71, which does not include the amount of free work of the district nurses.” The financial report shows that Mrs. Quincy A. Chase, the treasurer, has re- ceived during the year the following amounts: Hospital checks, $20,446 65; | cash, $710 27; Derby day, $2969; dona- tion party, $223 45; Rev. P. C. Yorke's lecture, $237 75; Kirkham endowment, $260; from reserve fund, $1183 70; bal- ance from last year, $3 73; total, $27,- 044 55. The disbursements amounted to $27,039 84, which includes alltherunning expenses, payments of officers and re- pairs. MUST BE TRIED AGAIN. The Jury in the Knowles Case Fails to Find a Verdict. OAKLAND, Feb. 4—The jury in the case of W. A. Knowles, charged with forgery In changing a mortgage release given him by the regents of the Univer- sity of California, after being out from 5 o'clock last night untfl 11 o’clock this morning, were dismissed, being unable to agree upon a verdict. Whether Knowles’ act was to defraud the regents of the Unlversity or those who bought the prop- erty in question from him was the stum- bling block that the jury split upon. The jury at 9 4ast night asked for writ- ten Instructions of the court, which was glven them. At 10 they notified Judge Ellsworth that they could not understand the instructions. He called them into court and explained away their difficul- tles. They retired again and at 1 o'ciock this morning gave up and attempted to get some sleep. At T o'clock they went at the case again with no better result. The jury room has no accommodations except blankets and any attempt at sleep was met with poor success. o pil- lows and only the hard flocr did not tend to soothe them to sleep. At 11 o’clock Judge Ellsworth apologized for keeping them in such uncomfortable quarters when there was no chance for them to agree, and dismissed them. Subpenaed the Court. OAKLAND, Feb. 4—Attorney Tom Garrity subpenaed Police Court Judge Allen, Clerk Hennessey and Ballift Mitch- ell as witnesses in the Ryan trial this morning in order to get the case of G. Kirschner, arrested for selling liquor without a license, continued against the will of the Police Judge. His ruse did not work, however, as the summons failed to reach the witnesses until ten minutes af- ter 10, and then they were only coples in- stead of originals, as the law requires. The Police Court case went on in spite of his appeals and he was compelled to send a substitute. 3 Golf Club Home Opening.

It is the almost unanimous opinfon that nothin, should be attempted until a charter coul be prepared for the city and county, which is now being agitated with every prospect of success.

STILL INSIST ON A CHANGE. Students Want Faculty Athletics Committee Enlarged. Retraction of the Request for the Removal of Pro- fessors. Spirited ControVYersy Waged Before the Athlet'c Difficulties Are Solved. BERKELEY, Feb. 4.—After almost unanimously rescinding the resolutions passed last Monday requesting Presi- dent Kellogg to | Bacon and Clapp from the faculty athletics committee, the Associated Stu- practically reaffirmed the principle of the right of students to suggest mem- bers for the faculty committee, by re- questing the president to enlarge the committee to five instead of three mem- bers. The meeting, which was held at Stiles Hall, was attended by nearly | 400 students, and was one of the most :splrited student gatherings ever held The women students were conspicuous by their absence, not a single co-ed being present. Discussion was precipitated by Ed- itor Hopper of the Occident, who in- troduced a resolution rescinding the | resolution passed last Monday. Hop- per’s resolution, which was seconded | by Editor Creed of the Californian, was as follows: Considering that certain resolutions passed at a meeting of the Assoclated Students on Monday last do not repre- sent the opinion of a large number of that body, and Considering that a question of such im- portance should be indorsed by a larger proportion of the student body, and | Consldering that the faculty athletics | committee, from the nature of its duties, should be independent of the student body in the choosini of its members, and Considering that this principle was vio- lated by the action of last Monday, Be it resolved, That those resolutions be rescinded. After a spirited discussion, in which Professor William Carey Jones spoke, urging the students for the sake of the university to reach a final and amicable settlement of the existing trouble, Hop- per’s resolutions were almost unani- mously adopted. A set of resolutions which had been framed at he suggestion of Profesor William Carey Jones were introduced by Leggett '98 and seconded by Haber '98, Jarvis '98 and others. The resolu- tions were as follows: Recognizing that we have no author- ity and entertain no desire to nominate or otherwise regulate the membership of the faculty athletics committee, we never- theless, in a purely co-operative spirit, hereby resolve that a committee of three be appointed by the chair to represent to the president that it is the sentiment of the Associated Students of the Univer- sity of California that the athletic inter- the en- largement of the faculty committee to a membership of five. The resolutions brought about a spir- ited controversy. Allen '98, Dickerson '9s and Hutchinson '9% wanted specific charges made to support the oft-re- peated statement that a lack of har- mony existed. Football Manager Brown was called on to specify his grievances | against Professors Baconand Clapp, but he refused to do so. Craig '98 op- posed the resolutions, stating that they were hugely impertinent, and that the difficulty would probaly be settled anyway by Professors Bacon and Clapp resigning. A warm discussion of professionalism in university athletics was begun by Instructor Harry B. Torrey, who de- fended the present committee for the firm stand it has taken to preserve amateurism. He' characterized the two weeks’. trials taken by the football team to Del Monte last fall as an approach toward professionalism, and declared that such a move would never again be tolerated by the faculty. Upon the final vote on the resolu- tions asking for an increase in the membership of the committee the reso- lutions were carried by a vote of 212 to 2. 15Zt’x-esldem P. R. Thayer of the Asso- clated Students later appointed J. Haber, Albert J. Brown and C. M. Dickerson to call upon President Kel- logg and present to him the students’ request for an enlargement of the com- mittee. While the names of the two additional members of the committee were not mentioned, it was the desire of the students to have Professors Magee and Cloman added to the pres- ent committe —————— Ryan Was Acquitted. LAND, Feb. 4—James Ryan, who w?gua{rrested on Filbert street on Sun- day evening, November 20, by Officers Kyte and Scanlon, with William Jennings was acquitted in Judge Ellsworth's court this afternoon. No defense- was made, but the defense asked the court to in- struct the jury to acquit on the ground of the insufficiency of evidence. The motion was allowed and Ryan was given his liberty. He was at once taken into custody on a warrant charging him with carrying a concealed weapon. The prose- cution identified the revolver as the one stolen from the Wakefield residence shortly before the arrest of the defend- ant, but there was,no proof that Ryan stole it. Hence his acquittal.

O. Brown is the subject of some very plain talk in this week's edition of the Wasp, and almost every one will find in that paper’s treatment of the ex-minister's conduct something of interest. In the “X Ray"” column, as usual, some enterprising fakers find their modus operandi laid bare, and the per= sonalities teem with the newest gossip of the smart set. The theatrical and mu- sical criticisms are entertaining and far ahead of those of any other weekly pa= per, while the vigorous editorials will ba thoughtful reader. There are, of course, numbers of pictures in the Wasp, a whole page of half-tones being devoted to the school children’s parade at Golden Gate Park. The center page colored print cartoon deals with the Orfental situation, and Chairman Alford of the Democratic State Central Commit- tee and Insurance Commissioner Clunie furnish subjects for two more excee«jlnx clever cartoons. Altogether the Wasp this week has much in it that will {nter- est almost any class of readers. - —_—————— Service of Song. The fourth popular praise service willbe held at the First Congregational Church, corner of Post and Mason streets, on Sunday evening.
