Next Saturday a.new supply of money will be added to the fund of the associa- tion. The Baldwin Theater will give a matinee and the total proceeds will go to help build the home for the suffering widows and orphans. The offer of the management of the theater is a generous one. Not one cent of the expense of pro- ducing the entertainment, which is not small, will have to be borne by the Masons, and in the evening after the spectators have left the theater the re- ceipts will be handed over to the commit- tee that is to see to the building of the home. The Masons expect to realize a large sum of money from this source, and this added to the sum taken in at the fete will without doubt be sufficient to fulfill their object. “We could close our doors to-night,” said a prominent Mason last evening, “and between $25,000 and $30,- 000 will be in our coffer: ‘When the fete is closed and the curtain has rung down at the Baldwin all that remains is to complete the building, as we will have the money with which to pay for it.” Owing to the fact that to-night is the closing night a special effort has been made by the management to complete an entertaining programme. A naval drill and the pigeon dance are the features of the evening, and as the bell tolls the dy- ing minutes of the merry fete ten thou- sand voices, or perhaps more, will sing | one song, and the days it lived will be numbered with those of the dead past. s _programme: ONCERT. .

Her Assailant, Fearing Arrest, Quietly Leaves the City. THE POLICE ARE NOTIFIED Threatened to Kill Her if She Told Her Parents of His Crime. Etta Muorray, an attractive young woman, is lying dangerous ill at her mother’s home, 604 Third street. -Last Tuesday night, she claims, she was as- saulted by Mike Valve, a young man with whom she had kept company. According to her story Valve entered temporary ab- sence of her mother and assaulted her. She screamed for help, but her alleged assailant placed his hand over her mouth and threatened to kill her if she continued to make an outcry. After he had accomplished his design he left the house after threatening to return and make her a subject for the Coroner if she Informed her mother. ‘When the latter returned several hours, later she found her daughter ly- in a semi-conscious condition. She at once sent for a doc- tor, who after considerable trouble suc- ceeded in reviving the injured girl. Af- ter regaining consciousness she told her mother what had transpired.

The woman informed Ser- geant Christiansen of the California street station who found the peddler in a stable at 102 Clark street.

One-of the most extraordinary contests of strength ever given anywhere will be pulled off at the Chutes to-morrow after- noon when *“Jolly,” the big elephant, will engage in a tug of war with 200 men. It will be a new experience for the men, but an old one for ‘“Jolly.” Two years ago he pulled against 150 firemen at the Madison Square Gardens, New York, and was awarded the decision, and the year before that, at a policemen’s fete In Re- gent's Park, he bested 100 of London’s strongest patrolmen. The tug-of-war will be repeated Sunday evening. ———————————— For Alaska’s Trade. Since the affairs of the old Alaska Trade Committee have been in the hands of the State Board of Trade, Manager J. A. Filcher has had several lively men in the field soliciting subscriptions for carrying on the work of advertising the fact that this city is the best on the coast for out- fitting for the gold fields of the north. | His men have met with very good suc- cess, thus enabling Mr. Filcher to send to all parts of the country information such as prospective Klondikers want. For a time the canvassers were not as successful as they are now. The reason that all whom they approached stated that they would not give a cent unless a certain storekeeper near the city front also contributed to the work. They held that he was getting the cream of the trade still not paying a cent. The party in question is now one of the largest subscribers, and since he came in the others have been contributing lib- erally. MISS XAYMOND IS TRUE. Prefers a Black-Face Artist to a Wealthy Stock Broker. Rumor was busy last night in regard to a forthcoming marriage between the handsome, dashing vocalist, Miss Lizzie Raymond, and Mr. Montgomery of Mont- gomery & Stone, the black face team. Miss Raymond, who closes an engage- ment in this city to-morrow evening, was asked about her marriage, and said: “I am not married to Mr. Montgom- ery.” “Do you intend to marry him?" “I certainly do, as 1 am engaged to him,” was the reply. *“I shall soon go East to marry him. He opens in St Louis Sunday evening. I told him when he left here not to worry, as 1 would surely keep my word, notwithstanding the persistent offer of marriage from wealthy Boston stock broker, who I finq is rated ‘way up in G’ by Bradstreet. I know that with Montgomery the course of true love will run smooth, and hence it is all off with the broker.” “What is the broker’s name?” “I shall not tell you, as I do not wish to wound his generous heart. It's love that I want, not money, and I know that Montgomery loves me dearly.” —_—————— In the Divorce Courts Judge Bahrs has granted Rosa A.

They ob- and at once started out to find her allegel as- sailant. They visited his residence on Broadway but were unable to find him. An examination of his room disclosed that he had taken his clothes. Last night the detectives learned that Valve, evidently fearing arrest, had left the city He was traced to Stockton. and Sheriff Cunningham of that place was notified by telegraph to arrest him Cunningham, after making an investi gation, telegraphed back to Chief Lees | that Valve had left that eity. A description of him has been sent to the various Sheriffs throughout the country and every effort will be made to_arrest him. Late last night it was reported that the girl was in a dying condition and could not possibly recover. Her mother is heartbroken over the condition of the prosecute Valve to the bitter end in case he is arrested. She was aware that he was in the habit of calline on her daughter, but thinking that he intend- ed to make her his wife she offered no objection. He evidently knew that Mrs. Murray was absent when he en- tered her house Tuesday night. After galning an entrance. it is claimed, he struck his unsuspecting victim, felling her to the floor, before accomplishing his base deeign. The police are determined to make Valve suffer for his heinous crime and ;‘\"lll do all in their power to apprehend m. KOSTER STAYED AWAY. An Evening’'s Sport Spoiled by the Mission Pugilist Not Appearing to Fight Lynch. About five hundred disappointed sports filled the gymnasium of the Excelsior Athletic Club last night, watching two wild-eyed colored ‘‘dubs” wave thelir hands at each other until one fell to the floor In a hypnotized condition. The event that crowded the clubroom was an eight-round go between Tom Lynch of the Excelsiors and Gus Koster ns. At the last moment Koster “crawfished,”” as one sport put it, and the go was called off. . To satisf; the gore-loving followers of the s(]ut\rodi circle the n gement substituted Henry Lewis and two dusky “dubs.” As was expected, Lewis went to the floor to save a beating, while the crowd wondered why he stayed that length of time. Jackson was a power- ful fellow, with as much knowledge of a Spaniard has of fighting. s, on the other hand, had some knowledge of the game, but is totally devoid of courage. With two such men in the ring the crowd simply lay back and yawned, waiting for the bout to be over. It came in the fourth round and no one feit sorry. The events that preceded the farce were interesting and partly made up for the rank go. ‘“Deacon” Jones and “Clown" Wiley created merriment at the start by their mode of sparring. Devine and Mec- Deavitt also boxed three laughable rounds, while Jimmy Lawler and Jimmy Rielly, Craig and Lynch, O'Brien and Kane boxed interesting rounds. Will Sul- livan_contortioned and Mr. Casey warbled the Wabash so realistically that the spectators nearly drowned him with ap- plause. He then gave a pathetic reci- tation about an Indian who deserted his love in the far West. His gestures were a left lead for the stomach with right hand in pocket; sometimes changing to a right cross for variety. - Casey was 80 enraptured with his own voice that he forgot his lin and had to retire amid tumultous applause. Lynch and Ken- nedy then boxed four lively rounds. In announcing the abssnce of Koster President Kennedy charged Aleé¢ Greg- gains with trying to put his club on the “bum’ because they were getting pros- | perous. He defied the referee in the | Sharkey-Jeffries bout and all his ‘‘push" | to injure the Excelsiors, and then an. | nounced another bout, which will take | place at the clubrooms in a few weeks. ‘Willie Dirks, Charley Priest and Wil- | liam Perry are to appear before the San Francisco Athletic Club on Wednesday eventlng next in a lightweight tourna- ment. oung Peter Jackson, ——————— .Endeavorers and the War. At a meeting of the executive commit- tee of Golden Gate Union last night the lookout committee reported that it had arranged for a farewell service to be held | at the Presidio Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. Addresses will be made by vet- eran chaplains and music will be fur- nished by the Presidio band. It has also been ascertained that the State Endeav- orers will co-operate with the Red Lross Soclety in furnishing comfort bags to both soldiers and sailors, and the Ameri- can Tract Society will ship a quantity of literature to lighten the idle moments of the boys on their way to the front. ——————————— A Shoemaker Drowned.

Oliver Reese, living at 768 Greenwich street, was bitten by a spider several days ago. He paid no attention to the bite until last night, when his left arm began to swell. At the advice of a friend he visited the Receiving Hospital, where after an nation, de- clared that he was suffering from blood oisoning. It is not unlikely that the un- fortunate man will lose his arm as the result of the deadly bite. . Reese told the doctor, that he was en- gaged in making some repairs about his home when the insect bit him. He felt a stinging pain in his arm, but thinking it would pass away, he paid little atten- on to it. —_———— GORTER THROWN IN JAIL. The Inventor of the Water Tower Charged With Defrauding A. S. Paree.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLER WANTED AT MARTINEZ. Charles R. Jones Accused of Having Defrauded a District Attorney. MARTINEZ, May 13.—Charles R. Jones, well known in Martinez, Crockett and Oakland, and at one time traveling agent of the Renters Co-operative Investment Company of San Francisco, is a fugitive from justice. He is wanted on a charge of embezzlement, preferred by District Qttorney Brown, and for beating the landlord of the Hotel Crockett out of 50. For some time Jones has been at Crock- ett placing loans. He often came to Mar- tnez and siness here. It is a rule of the company that no money is to be Tecelved by’ an agent from any person applying for a loan, but it seems Jones Violated this rule while in Martinez. At- torney Brown, in doing business for cli- ents, asked for a loan, and Jones first collected $30 from him. Since that time Brown has pot seen man’ nor money. — Cheaper Electric Power. MARYSVILLE, May 13.—An experiment concluded here by Dr. F. A. C: Perrine of Stanford University utilizing the electri- cal power line of the Yuba Power Com- pany from its power house to Browns Valley, a distance of ten miles, demon- strated that 36,000 volts may be transmit- ted over a copper wire, using glass insu- lation, against sixteen thousand, which has been the maximum in power trans- mission heretofore. The result of the ex- eriment will be to effect a saving of half n the cost of wire in the construction of electrical transmission plants in the fu- ture. As it is now the cost of wire is about half the entire cost of the plant. Men We Know. A fine full-page character sketch of Hon. James D. Phelan in to-day’s News Letter.
