THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1898. but will hold a t on Saturday morning d 5 1) N T | next of the variou ices that have f o | been presented to 1 %l i The Board of Supervisors was notified | of this intention in the following com- | munication, which was recelved by Clerl | A NESTEGG | Actual Start of Rev. J. A. | B. Wilson’s Home for |: Girls. | He Describes the Ideal Resting | Place Independent l | for Young Women. The Good Work May Be Carried On by Any Four Benevolent People. The Rev. John A. B. Wilson wishes to establish a home for working women in San Francisco, similar to the one he so successfully conducted in New York some years ago. That n Francisco recognizes the need for h an institution is evidenced by the fact that a recent article in The | Call has aw ned interest in Dr. Wil- | A gentleman who read of my inten- tion to start a home for women who | must work and who are not receiving | wages enough to pay their board in the ordinary boarding-house,” said Dr. ilson yesterday, “has made me a| st generous offer. He promises to | give $100 toward furnishing such a home and $10 monthly to meet its ex- | penses. | “Now, if there are but four more like him in San Francisco the home may be established to-morrow. “I have found the house which is ideally fitted for my plan. It is just four blocks from Market and Kearny streets. It has twelve rooms, a large garden and a yard where chickens might be kept. And the rent is onls 25 a month. All these homely detalls mean much for the success of this un- dertaking. And people are not aware of the great neces: v for such a place as I propose to establish. As I hav sald before, there are four places wi in ten minutes’ walk of my office where dissolute women may be cared ithout chargs, but there is not, knowledge, one place where re- spectable women out of employment be sent on the same conditions. u know that a girl from | ment, with- simulated in order to pro- e for the disso- n ill and car- the physicians ption and found her . 1 verified this | 1 the winter of 1894 I was told rtuous women had become in- | oxicated that they might be admitted ielters provided for the fallen, they ing of none for the pure. could be multiplied show- | £ the movement in | cans are only ! and making a noble fight against both poverty and receiving but from $250 to and, some of them, with | =nding upon them for bread. | is not that so many give | > fight, but that more do not.

Edward Bowler went out at half-past 6 Keane; t o'clock yesterday morning for a walk on | the beach between Laguna and Buchanan streets, and found the corpse of an un- known man which had been cast asnore | by the waves.

In the room in proximity to the witness stand was the in | sion of a police detective. There was no cross-examination. He was followed by Herman Ferren- bach, the special police officer who found Isaac Hoffman. bleeeding and unconscious in the store on the even- ing of June 1. He stated that he en- tered-on his duties on the evening of the shooting about 5:30 o’clock; that he had seen Figel about 6:10 on Bush street, near Battery, and that the de- fendant walked to Battery street,where he joined Isaac Hoffman. The witness then told of his walk around his local- ity and his arrival at the store about 6:45. He tried the door, as was his usual custom, and found it unlocked, and passed into the store. He saw a light in the rear office, and passing in found the wounded man, who he stated was unconscious, but still alive and bleeding freely from two pistol wounds in the head. He stated that he had picked up the revolver and given it to Officer Colen after he had sent the wounded man to the Receiving Hospi- tal. He testifled that his hands were bloody at the time he picked up the revolver. In cross-examination nothing new was brought to light, but the witness said that Isaac Hoffman was aware that it was his duty to guard that store. The first witness during the after- noon was to have been Officer Colen, but sickness prevented his appearance and the testimony given by him at the preliminary examination was read to the jury by Judge Murphy. His statement as read told the story of his meeting with Officer Ferrenbach, the arpival at the store, the hurried call | for the patrol wagon and the removal of the wounded man to the Receiving Hospital. .

Under the examination of Judge Murphy the widow told of the rela- tions existing between herself and husband prior to and on the morning of June 1. In detail she related the parting with her husband on the morn- ing of the sheoting, and stated that he was in good health and that they were on the best of terms when they parted on the morning of June 1. By the statement of the witness it was learned that they had four chil- dren, to whom her husband had been devoted, and that the entire estate, amounting to $100,000, had been left to herself and children. -examiner, but the expectant lis- s were dcomed to disappointment, questions were asked by General Barnes for the defense, who stated that if .he deemed it necessary he would recall the witness for the de- fense. Then the heavily veiled widow left the courtroom without delay. After Mrs. Hoffman's testimony had been heard all interest in the case dur- ing the remainder of the day seemed to die out. People came and went and the defendant smiled. The next wit- ness called was Henry M. Harris, a clerk in the employment of Hoffman, Rothchild & Co. He testified that he had been acquainted with the deceased merchant for ten years, and that so far as he knew Hoffman had been practical and industrious, happy and cantented, and that there was no no- ing the day of June 1. The witness said that he had left the store that evening at 5:55 o’clock and that the store was usually closed at 5:30, but that Isaac Hoffman had not left the establishment at the time of his departure for his home. As has been the rule, nothing new was elicited from the witness further than the testimony given at the pre. liminary examination. It was asked by the defense if it was unusual for Theo- dore Figel to take books of the firm home with him in the evening, and the witness stated that it was not. His examination was exceedingly short. Harris gave way to Clarence M. Post, another clerk in the employ of the firm, who testified that the pistol with which B ¢ “fl“‘ © iNrgpion suBST Hoffman was killed was once in pos- session of the defendant, and thate month prior to the death of Hoffman the pistol had been exhibited to the witness by Figel, and that he next saw the weapon when it was in the posses- The witness was | then submitted to the mercies of the | ticeable difference in his actions dur- [ | | | The bullets found in the room and the | | revolver with which the deed was com- | | mitted were shown to the jury, but the | reading of the testimony previously | given did not bring out any new points | and it was asked by the defense what | point was to be proved by the testi- mony, but they were left in ignorance. | The testimony, in part, relates to the | pieces of the dead man’s skull found on the bloody carpet and the paper | which was presumed to have been un- | der Hoffman’s head before he had stag- gered or been dragged into the adjoin- ing office.

Judge Campbell Will Have to Decide Upon a Serious Question. J. B. Marshall Arrested for Allowing an Unlicensed Dog to Run at Large. The peculiarities of the pound were exemplified in a case that came for the second time before Judge Campbell yesterday. J. B. Marshall of the Brighton saloon | on Eddy street was arrested on a war- rant sworn to by Miss Emma Balz on a charge of allowing an unlicensed dog to run at large. Marsnail was arrested and gave $20 bail for his appearance in court. The case is a singular one. On Janu- ary 6, while Nathan Breslauer, a boy his widowed mother at 522 Golden Gate avenue, was sitting on the fence divid- ing the yard of his mother's house and the adjoining house occupied by Mr. Crothers, a dog in the yard of the latter bit him on the leg. A warrant was obtained in Judge Campbell's court for the arrest of Mr. Crothers, and on the promise that the dog would be taken to the pound and killed, the warrant was not served. Yesterday Miss Balz ascertained on going to the pound that the dog had not been killed. She found from the Poundkeeper that on the previous oc- casion when the dog was taken to the Central police station some one had said that the dog would be taken home and killed, and consequently the war- rant was not served. Miss Balz on Monday saw the dog running around the street and yester- day she applied to Judge Campbell for a warrant for the arrest of J. B. Mar- shall on the charge of allowing an un- licensed dog to run at large. Marshall was arrested and gave $20 cash bail. According to Mrs. Breslauer the dog belonged to Marshall and had been left | with Crothers, who resided at 524 | Golden Gate avenue and who is Mar- | shall's father-in-law. On January 6, when the boy was sitting on the fence that divides the two houses the dog jumped at and bit him on the leg. The bite was so painful that two physicians | had to be summoned and the boy for | several days had to walk on crutche: Mrs. Breslauer was afraid of hydro- phobia and insisted upon the dog being killed. The dog was taken to the Cen- tral police station and on the promise that it would be killed by the pound- master the charge was withdrawn. The poundmaster went to the Nor- | mandie Hotel the following day, where | farshall was staying, for the dog, and | told that it had been killed. iss Balz on Monday was told that arrest of Marshall, and some interest- ing developments are expected in court to-day. THE BRISTOL LIBELED. e | Suit Against a British Steamer for | Damages for Alleged Breach | ‘of Charter Party. A libel was filed yesterday against the British steamer Bristol by the Portland and Alaska Trading and Transportation Company to recover $21,000 for alleged breach of charter party. The complaint charges that a contract was entered into between the partles whereby the Bristol was to convoy and tow when necessary the steamer Eugene with 130 passengers to St. Michael for a consideration of $15,000, and that the | the hospital and afterward to the | Bristol by unskiliful towing injured the Morgue.

Questions, | however, brought out the fact that the sleuth had carried the pistol in his | overcoat pocket, and as the witness | stated he had the bloody side up, which was thought by him to have prevented contact of pistol and coat, some amus- ing incidents came up during the exam- ination of the witness. General Barnes | stood between the witness and the | proseeuting attorney, Judge Murphy, | and was politely informed by the Judge | that he was not transparent and it was | consequently hard to see through him. | | The General promptly replied that he | had no difficulty In seeing through the | Judge, at any rate through his actions. | Then Charles Crockett was called Hoff- man, which caused a slight tittering | | among the lookers-on. In a moment | | the trial was resumed and flowed on in the even and uninteresting tenor of its | way. More evidence will be introduced | to-day. | AFTER WELBURN. | Circulars Askiné for His Arrest to! Be Distributed by the United | States Marshal. United States Marshal Baldwin is pre- | paring type-written circulars for distribu- | tion to United States Marshals in Arizona | and Texas, glving a minute description | of Osca M. Welburn, ex-Collector of In- ternal Revenue, who is wanted by the United States authorities here on an in- | dtetment with thirty-one counts charg- | ing him with neglecting to pay over to the Government money received by him | as disbursing officer. If the Marshal suc- | ceeds in getting authority to make the necessary expenditure he will have sev- eral thousand circulars printed contain- | ing a photo of the missing ex-Collector | and a complete description of him. | it is believed that Welburn is in hiding in Texas near the Mexican border line, | and that therecentdeparture from here of Special Agent Thrasher was for the pur- | pose of tracing the whereabouts of —the | fugitive. B — Internal Revenue Compromises. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has issued a circular with reference to | compromises in cases of violation of the revenue laws. Collectors are instructed not to solicit offers of compromise, and no delinquent should be induced by threats to invoke the power of the Commissioner to compromise, and no assurance should be given of the probable action of the Commissioner if an offer is made; but where the individual is ignorant of such a provision of law and desires to make his appeal for clemency in the manner provided, it is the duty of the Collector to give him suitable instructions. The offer should be made in writing, and the moneys tendered as-tax or penalty should be deposited to the credit of the Secretary of the Treasury. —_———— Horses Are Not Cattle.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH. A Pleasant Simple, but Safe Effectual | Cure for It. | Catarrh of the stomach has long‘ been considered the next thing to in- curable. The usaul symptoms are a full or| bloating sensation after eating, accom- | panied sometimes with sour or watery | risings, a formation of gases, causing | pressure on the heart and lungs and‘ difficult breathing; headache, fickle ap- | petite, nervousness and a general There is often a foul taste In the | mouth, coated tongue, and if the in-| terior of the stomach could be seen it | would show a slimy, inflamed condi- | tion. The cure for this common and ob- | stinate trouble is found in & treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mucons surfaces of the stomach. Accerding to Dr. Harlanson the safest and best treatnient is to use af- ter each meal a tablet, composed of | Disatase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drugstores under the name of Stu- art's Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough diges- tion will follow their regular use after meals. Mr. N. J. Booher of 2710 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill., writes: “Catarrh is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in the head, whereby the lining membrane of the nose be- comes inflamed and the poisonous dis- charge therefrom, passing backward into the throat, reaches the stomach, thus producing‘catarrh of the stomach. Medical authtrities prescribed for me for three years for catarrh of stomach without cure, but to-day I am the hap- piest of men after using only one box of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. I can- not find appropriate words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound rest from their use. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the preparation, as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.
