While the reporter was struggling with Indifferent success to get a straightforward statement from the woman,’ “Captain” George Engleberg, who is second in command, and seve- ral other officers, joined in, but were not permitted by their chief to say anything but what she wanted to be made public. Her authority was su- preme and.the others meekly bowed to her will. Once, when Mrs. Clark declared that she would only tell what she wanted published, Captain Engleberg mildly remonstrated. “Do not keep anything back, sister,” he urged, “but, like a Christian woman, have this whole matter sifted to the bottom.” “I know what to tell,” she retorted, “and I will only make public what I see fit.” Regarding the abduction, Mrs. Clark at first said that Weiss had no author- ity to remove the girl, but suddenly checked herself, as though fearing to get him into trouble, and went on to say that she had gone to Sacramento Monday night, leaving Alice at the home. The child was suffering from some aflment, the nature of which she would not dissolve, and that Weiss, who went to Sacramento a day or two later in search of work, took Alice along, believing she would receive bet- ter care with Mrs. Clark than she did at the home. “Did Weiss know where you were ng in Sacramento?” ‘No.” “Then how did he expect to find you aql(‘ihigwe the girl into your care?’ s was one of the man; us Mrs. Clark refused to Enswgr.q Setione “If the girl was not abducted, was her removal reported to the police as such by an officer of the Army?"

It was in a certajn place when I wenet"oul, and when I returned it was gone. #*Could not Weiss have taken it2" Engleberg did not know but he could. It was taken the day Alice and Weiss went to Sacramento and the captain thought it was used to pay her fare there. Mrs. Clark rallled to Weiss' defense | and warned Engleberg not to make any rash accusations, saying it was a serious thing to charge anybody with theft without being able to prove it. All through the Interview she mani- fested the greatest solicitude for Weiss and endeavored to shield him in every possible way. “If Alice was such a bad child, why did you keep her with you?” Mrs. Clark was asked. “I often thought of sending her back to Portland. I couldn’t do any- thing with her. She says here in The Call that she had to wait on me andthe other grown people. Why, that child required my almost constant care. What could a girl of her age do?” Mrs. Clark proceeded to recount the little girl’s misdeeds before she brought her from Portland, and said that two families with whom she had found a home were compelled to send her back to the public Institution from which she had been taken. At this juncture a bright little fel- low of about 11 years came up and En- gleberg announced that he was Alice's brother. “I found him one day when I was cutting wood near Portland,” he said, “and learning that he had no home I took him and am trying to bring him up properly.” Calling the lad to him, Engleberg said: “Tell the gentleman just how you are treated here. Don’t you get three good meals a day?” “Yes,” replied the boy, meekly. “Don’t I always treat you well; do I ever whip you unless you deserve it?"” “No,” came the reluctant answer. “I admit,” continued the Christian soldler, turning to the reporter, “that 1 whip the boy at times. and once I whipped him very hard, but it was only when he deserved it.” The little fellow was so carefully watched that no opportunity presented itself to question him alone. Had he been able to tell his story free from the warning glances of Engleberg and Mrs. Clark It is probable he could re- veal some unpleasant secrets of the “home.” Mrs. Clark was next asked to explain her meeting with Weiss in Sacramento. She said she met him on the street about 4 o'clock last evening, and he told her that he had Alice with him. ‘Weiss said he had left the child with a woman while he searched for Mrs. Clark. Together they went to the house, but found that Alice had been taken in charge by the Sacramento authorities. They hunted up Officer Healy, who had taken Alice away, but for some reason, which Mrs. Clark would not explain, he refused to let her have the child, and the couple departed. Mrs. Clark refused point blank to repeat any | of the conversation that took place be- ad- | tween her and the officer, but mitted that she did not see Alice. “When her attention was called to the statement that Officer Healy was looking for Weiss for the purpose of | placing him under arrest for his horri- it | ble treatment of Alice, and that Weiss had shown himself he would un- | doubtedly have been placed under ar- | to | rest, Mrs. Clark made no attempt explain, but reiterated that Weiss had gone with her. “Where is Welss now “I don’t know, unless he is in Sacra- mento.” “Is he likely to return to San Fran- clsco?” “I can't say. ing for work.” He went there look- tion in another direction, and learned that it was the common practice to send the little boy out at 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning, and again at night, to make a tour of the bakeries and res- taurants begging for stale bread. In these expeditions his sister was often compelled to accompany him. Storfes were told of the extremely friendly relations existing between Weiss and Mrs. Clark, but the most revolting accusation made was that Alice was afflicted with a most loath- some disease, which was known to Mrs. Clark and the others. A second interview was had with Mrs. Clark, during which she became more tangled up than at first, and several times she flatly contradicted statements she had made previously. She was first taken over the ground covering her trip to Sacramento and She re- peated the statement that they had gone together to the house where Weiss had left the girl, but could not tell what the woman had said, and finally admitted that she did not see her, but that Weiss had gone there alone. Regarding her visit to Officer Healy, Mrs. Clark was in sore distress when called upon to explain why she did not see Alice. She located the offi- cer’s office in a stable, and added that he might have had another office where Alice was kept. Mrs. Clark was positive she would be given possession of the girl in a few days, but again refused to relate her conversation with the officer. She was next questioned about the nature of Alice's ailment and what she had done for her. She said first that she had taken her to a doctor whose name she could not remember, nor could she give his address. Being pressed for a definite answer, Mrs. Clark changed her story, and said | that Alice had been taken to a free clinie, the exact location she did not know, although she knew about where | it was. She could not tell the street it was on, though, and would give no definite location. Ske refused positively to state the nature of the child’s ailment, and when asked if the little one had been sub- jected to the most fiendish maltreat- ment, Mrs. Clark would neither deny nor admit it, but said there was a proper time and place to make a state- ment, and until that time arrived she would keep her lips sealed. Before the close of the Interview, however, she begged that nothing be said of the affair, as it would injure the army. SWINDLED A WOMAN. Mrs. Risto Imposed Upon by a Well Dressed Stranger. A well dressed man entered a grocery store on the Mission road last evening and called for a bottle of whisky. After receiving the liquor he tendered Mrs. Risto, who conducts the place, a $5 Con- federate bill. Convinced that it was gen- uine, the unsuspecting woman gave him “t in change. The stranger then left the store. It was not until some time afterward that Mrs. Risto discovered that she had been imposed upon. She at once visited police headt}uarters and reported the mat- ter to Chief Lees. From the description given of the man the police are satisfled that he is the same individual who has succeeded in passing several Confederate bills on storekeepers south of Market. s e NO TRANSFER, NO SALE. A Personal Property Ruling by the State Supreme Court. The Supreme Court yesterday made an fmportant ruling upon the matter of sell- ing and transferring personal property. The case was that of R. J. Davss, as- signee for the insolvent firm of the Buil & Grant Farm Implement Company against the Winona Wagon Company. The latter sold to the Bull & Grant peo- le a lot of vehlcles, on iime, and ebt stood on the books for a m‘:?fi ionger period than was desired by efther party. The purchasers, not seeing their way clear to make good the amount, the wagon compang agreed to take back the wagons, and thus the debt would be li- quidated. This was done and the title passed to the wagon company, but the roperty remained in the hands of the u"t anfi:‘t folks, who becamse the agents for the wagon company. remittances were made on pthey ':.am ‘When the Bull & Grant Company went into insolvency it transferred all of the The reporter continued his investiga- | wagons and other stock, held by It as the agents for the wagon company, to that concern. This amounted to $14.000 and upon Mr. Davis taking charge of the defunct firm's affairs he sued the wagon company for the vehicles, or their value The latter showed that title had passed and won the case in the lower court of this eity. Davis was not satisfied and appealed the case to the Supreme Court That tribunal reversed the decision of the lower court, holding that “as to the creditors of the ‘Bull & Grant Farm Im- plement Company the sale by It to de- fendant was void, for there was no im- mediate delivery and change of posses- sion.

Joseph Rahn Assaulted by Two Strangers in His Grocery Store. Joseph Rahn, who conducts a grocery store at Minna and Julla streets, was the victim of a cowardly assault yesterday afternoon. He was waiting on a custom- er when two well-dressed men entered the store and called for beer. As he was stooping down drawing the foamy bever- | age, one of the men struck him on the | head with a cane, fracturing his skull. They then ran from the store, leaving the cane behind them. The man who struck the blow is named Barnstein. Some time | ago he had trouble with Rahn and was | worsted. The police believe that In order | to “'get even” he visited the store and as- saulted his unsuspecting victim. Barn- stein up to a late hour last night had not been arrested. APPALLING EFFECT OR INTEMPERANCE Lecture by Dr. Gardiner of the State Asylum for the Insane. Increase of Insanity Alarming 1s Found in Nearly All Parts of the World. An Interesting and instructive lecture was delivered at Cooper Medical College last night by Dr. Cardiner, superintend- ent of the State Asylum for the Insanc | at Napa. There was a large attendance and the subject was ably handled by the lecturer. He sald Intemperance, or rather over- indulgence, is responsible for at least 12 | per cent of all insanity cases in the United | States, and that the discase is on the in-| crease to an alarming extent all over| the civilized world, the percentage of in- ease of insanity cases in the United States being greater than the percentage of increase of the general population, | which was about 25 per cent from 1880 to | 1890, while the percentage of increased | insanity cases was 145 per cent during | the same period. He charged the over- | indulgence in alcoholic liquors as being | responsible for this appalling condition. | In closing he said: “What must be the | environment of the drunkard’s child?

A KLONDIKE MINER LOSES S GOLD The Nimble Fingered Gentry Succeeded in Relieving Him of $178. Smith Was Ready to Take His Departure for Alaska This Week. G. P. G. P. Smith of Stockton, bound for the Klondike, arrived in the city vesterday morning with an abundance of gold upon | his person and comparatively little expe- rience. He tried conclusions with some of the light fingered gentry last night and | now he has the experience but not the gold. Smith is an elderly man, who has man- aged by running a livery stable near Stockton to amass a few hundreds, and with these in his pocket he left his home for the frozen gold fields of the north. When he arrived here yesterday he pur- chased his ticket at the cost of about $60 and an outfit that cost him $90 more. He | | had remaining $175, mostly in gold, and | this he carried In his pocket in a buckskin ag. Last night he attended the mining Fair in company with a friend, J. W. Davis. In some way Smith was almost knocked off his feet by the pressure of those be- | hind him, and as he recovered his balance | he felt a hand drawn from his pocket and | | turned in time to see a small fellow mak- ing his way rapidly through the crowd. Davis saw the same fellow. Smith felt for his bag and it was gone. The theft | at once reported to Superintendent Gilmore, who sent for Detectives Egan | and Davis. The money was about all that Smith had left and its loss means a seri- ous thing to him. He was So broken up over it that he could hardly speak. He | declares that he had made no show of his money and that no one knew that he had it upon his person. —_——————— THE NEW PRIMARY LAW. Max Popper Says It Will Prove Beneficial If Declared Constitutional. Max Popper delivered an interesting ad- dress before the Iroquois Club last night on the Stratton primary law, the consti- tutionality of which will shortly be passed upon by the State Supreme Court. He said that It would prove a misfortune to be regretted by all who are in favor of clean primary elections, if the court de- cided that the law was not constitutional. “'The Stratton law,” said he, “'will, if put in force and effect, kill off the political bosses and give every citizen an opportun- ity of voting at primaries and an assur- ance that his vote will be honestly count- ed. If it is decided by the Supreme Court that the alleged flaws In the law are not there, our primary elections will be as carefully guarded as our general elec- tions. The penalties following each and every Infraction are so severe, that those who In the past have stuffed the ballot boxes at the instance of. the bosses, will refuse to lon‘FPr do_crooked work."” After the address there was a practical illustration of the proposed new system of primary election given. —————————— It being the intention of J.

One Seriously fWmm?d_e_c.'l in a Quarrel Over a Boy. An exciting combat took place yester- day among the convicts at San Quentin, wherein five men were severely cut—one, it may be, fatally. It seems that the men got into a con- troversy regarding a young fellow known among the prisoners as “‘Clara Belle,” owing to his refined and almost girlish appearance. “Clara” had his champions, and anyone who opposed them was doomed to destruction. The result was a mix-up in which knives were used, for all ALL SANG “GOD MVE IRELAND” Celebration of the Birth- day of Emmet, the Irish Patriot.

They Arrived Late Last Night, Tired but Happy Over Their Success. James K. Kaulia, Willlam Auld and D. Kalauokalani, the three returning delegates who have been in Washing- ton working successfully against Ha- walian annexation, arrived in the city late last night on the delayed over- land. and went to the California. They expressed their satisfaction at the success that has attended their mission, which has demonstrated to a certainty, they said, that the annexa- tion of the islands will never be an ac- complished fact. “Annexation will never take place,” said Mr. Kaulia. “It has been impos- sible for those favoring that side of the | controversy to obtain anything like a | majority even under the most favor- able circumstances, and we feel that we can go back to our home with the knowledge that our trip has not been in vain.

The occasion was the one hundred and twentieth anniversary of the birth of the great Irish patriot; the theme was a protest against any treaty of arbitration between this country and England. The Knights of the Red Branch had the exercises in charge, and the uni- formed company of that order escort- | ed the officers of the evening to the platform. High over the seat of the chairman was draped an immense American flag, its brilliant folds just sweeping over a harp of fire that blazed before the large picture of Em- met. Gleaming in white letters across true son of Erin—‘God Save Ireland,” to their martyred hero, “His epitaph shall be written.” Around the gallery rail the green and gold hung in tasteful profusion, and everywhere the golden stars and the harp and the shamrock lent their aid to the silent but beautiful tribute to the downtrodden isle. James H. Barry was chairman of the | evening, and he introduced those who took part in the programme. The ex- ercises opened with an organ prelude of national airs by Miss Marie Giorgi- ani, and then the chairman rose for a few introductory remarks. Though not an Irishman, he said, he was a friend of Ireland. and he was proud to preside over a meeting for such a purpose and on such an occasion. J. P. Grodjens | was then introduced, and he sang some of the old songs that Irishmen delight to hear. The glee club of Company A, League of the Cross Cadets, sang some of Moore’s most typical Irish melodies, and then Miss Katherine Blgck gave “The Meeting of the Waters. The speaker of the evemmng, Homn. Frank McGowan, was then introduced. His subject was_ the life of Emmet, his struggles for Irish freedom. his tri- als. his sentence and his death. He spoke, too, of his personal character, of his indomitable courage and his intense riotism. Da;lx:gthe lived. he said. fame and hon- or undying would have been his. His failure and his death disposed of only the individual—the principles for which he fought and died will remain un- changed forever, and there will be oth- ers who, inspired by his glorious exam- ple, will take up the banner Emmet bore. and liberty will be once more en- throned on the Emerald Isle. “He was a man of the people,” said MecGowan. “His dream was not the es- | tablishing of a kingly power—he fought | for the principles which created Amer- | jca and France. His was not a fight against a people—it was against a cruel and diabolical oppression.” McGowan then referred to arbitration, and de- clared that any treaty with England establishing that as a method of set- tling differences would be little better than a crime, and he cited the career of Emmet as one to recommend itself to a nation whose honor was at stake. “She is Far From the Land,” another of Moore’s melodies, was then ably sung” by Miss Daisy V. Keane, nor would the audience let her go until she had sung another of the poet’s songs. Interrupting the appiause which fol- fowed Miss Keane's music, Mr. Barry, the chairman, introduced Mr. Barry, the colonel, and Colonel Barry read some* resolutions against arbitration.
