14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1898. WAS TRUE 10 TS PROMISE Faubel Kept His Word With the Coroner. SENSATIONAL SUICIDE A DRINK AND BUSINESS TROU- BLES THE CAUSE. A Taking-Off That Was a Day Later Than Was Scheduled in a Farewell Letter. Very early yvesterday morning the dead body of Ernest Faubel was found in Alta Plaza, just two days after the expect Deputy Coroners awaited it. The corpse was discovered by Mrs. | chafer of 2439 Washington street. Be- | ind this suicide is a sensational story | ich lends proof to the belief that the mind of Faubel was unbalanced at the e of h king-off. On Sunday Coroner Hawkins re- ceived a letter from one Ernest Fau- | Stockton at 5:40 p. m. A mixed daily troubles of my own, tell yours to a police- man. Yours respectfully, ERNEST FAUBEL. The people who saw Faubel on Mon- day say that he was perfectly at ease and that if he did contemplate suicide he showed no signs of it. Late Mon- day afternoon he purchased a bottle of carbolic acid from G. F. Fuller, a phar- macist, on the corner of Clay and Fill- more streets. Fuller had been in the habit of selling acid to Faubel, who used it to wash out the sores on his horses’ legs. Fuller says that when Faubel bought the last bottle he was sober and in good spirits, The mother of the deceased was heart-broken. 1In the letter to the Cor- oner the deceased says he has no par- ents. This was perhaps due to the malignancy of the sulcida because of parental correction, and his parents’ re- fusal to assist him further unless he divorced himself from his vicious habits. Mrs. Faubel assigns the cause of the suicide to an unbalanced mind and too frequent potations of whisky. The body was found In the place di- rected by Faubel in his letter to the Coroner. Two empty bottles with car- bolic acid labels on them were found in his pockets. The suicide was true to his determination and his taking-off was merely postponed a few short hours.

WORD GOOD. Committed Suicide at o ] bel, acquainting him with an inten- tion on the part of the latter to put an end to all the ills that flesh Is heir to, as far as he n individual was con- cerned. = Faub: so notified the Cor- oner that his body would be found In Alta Plaza. Immediately a deputy wasg sent to the plaza, but nothing of the homo genus, cold and stark, was discovered. The search forrthe writer of the letter was not relaxed, however. Monday evening he was discovered in a saloon on the corner of Fillmore and engaged in a game of draw poker, quite self-possessed and out wardly calm. To the small band of re- ‘ porters that were on his track he, |n§ answer to their many inquiries, had | but one thing to say and that was that | the Coyoner’s letter might be of some | use yet. Yesterday morning the body | of Ernest Faubel was brought into the Morgue. Faubel was a young man with bad | habits. His father had supplied him | with money to start a milk depot and | repeatedly he was called upon by the | creditors of his son for the payment of | debts contracted by the latter. The suicide was a man of small business ability, which, coupled with a taste for | strong liquor, was the cause of his failure in the commercial world. Until | two weeks ago he lived with his father and mother at their home, 2432 Sacra- mento street. Coming home one night about two weeks ago, and under the in- fluence of drink, he announced in cold- blooded fashion that he had deter- mined to commit suicide. His mother remonstated with him, attempting to drive such thoughts from his head. The son in a frenzy of anger drove her | from the house, and the woman fled for her life. After that Faubel moved downtown, where he lived in a circle of disrepu- table people of both sexes. About a week ago he was arrested for disturb- ing the peace, and his father was called on to pay for the damage he had caused in his nocturnal maraudings. Becoming sated with the life of thes streets on the Barbary Cdéast, Faubel returned to the haunts of his early days and indulged his passion for drink. The letter which Faubel wrote to the Coroner is very carefully indited, and shows a chircgraphy fine ability as a penman might envy. Not a tremor can be discerned in the writing. In fact, every letter seems to have been mecasured. If there was any emotion back of the hand that penned those last few lines to the Coroner it certainly received no outward manifes- tation, either in the composition or the chircgraphy itself. The letter reads as follows: Coroner Hawkins—Dear Sir: By the time you receive this letter I will be dead to the world. You will find my remains at Alta Plaza. I wish to be buried as a pau- per. Throw me in a plain redwood box; that will do juse as good as a casket; also save expenses to my friends, as I have no parents. I died as I have lived—always happy and contented. I am perfectly so- ber—also have my right senses when I committed this deed. Which no doubt will be a surprise. T am better off now than I was before, as I have friends in both places—in heaven also in hell—so it makes no differ- ence to me where I go. One thing I will ask of you, Mr. Hawkins—and that is to notify my relatives of my death. They may cast their last looks at my remains at the Morgue, where I will lie on a mar- ble slab. 1 owe a few bills, but they will be paid in the other world.

The latter company formerly charged $9 10, but reduced the fare to the present rates at the time when the Valley road was opened to Fresno. John Moss, traffic manager, has issued a schedule of temporary classified freight rates between San Francisco and points south of Hanford, to take effect to-day and subject to Western classification.

Doubtless the tricksters have succeeded, as Fitzpat- rick has taken a very sudden change of mind concerning the proposed meeting between the crack welter-weights, and may not journey to this coast at all. However, the National Club is not de- pendent upon Fitzpatrick nor his fighting machine, Jack Daly, and yesterday it consummated a twenty-round bout be- tween McKeever and McConnell, who is a protege of Alexander Greggains. McConnell, although a light puncher, is are not a few of the sports who believe that the San Franciscan is competent to best McKeever in twenty rounds. It {s certain that the Eastern welter-weight will have to use all of his cunning and hitting snwers to win a decision over the local la Tom Sharkey, “Spider” Kelly and Tim McGrath have departed for New York.

From the Agent of the Crocker Es- tate Company. SAN FRANCISCO, May 81, 1898.—To the Editor of the San Francisco Call— Dear Sir: The statement has gone abroad that the military encampment on the ground formerly occupied by the. Bay District race track was pro- cured through the instrumentality of the Market Street Raiflway Company. ‘When this was first suggested I did not think it possible that it would be ac- cepted by the public mind as a sober fact; but I am confronted to-day with the irresistible conviction that an ef- fort is being made in certain quarters to instill into the minds of the great mass of the people of San Francisco the belief that the change of encamp- ment from the Presidio to Richmond was due to the secret and skillful ma- nipulation of the Market Street Rail- way Company; that it was accomplish- ed by collusion with the military au- thorities of the country, and that by this change the Market Street Railway Company accomplished the self-seeking purpose of locating the military camp where it would do that company the most good; and that the military au- horities on their part were vulnerable to_this sordid consideration. I believe that a simple and truthful statement of this matter will receive at the hands of this community due credit. I therefore beg leave to say, through your courtesy, that Major Rathbone of General Merriam’s staff, on behalf of the commanding officer, visited my office and asked if the ground owned by Mrs. Leland Stan- ford and the Crocker Estate Company could be procured for a camp ground. He stated that the sewerage and water | conditions existing at the Presidio were not adequate for the accommodations of this large number of men, and that it would require considerable time to make them so, while the Bay District track grounds had both sewerage and water; that the large body of soldiers could be accommodated there, and that | sanitary conditions made it judicious to move the camp from the Presidio. Animated, I trust, by that impulse of patriotism which is common to every right-minded American citizen, and be- lieving that my principals, who were all absent from the State, would confirm and approve the action, I at once con- sented, and upon presenting the matter to Mrs. Stanford she as readily con- sented on her part. From that consent grew the encampment now known as Camp Richmond, without consultation with any officer or employe of the Mar- ket street system, and without any thought or consideration of any benefit it might possess to the Market street system. The administration of all business en- terprises is necessarily In the direction of increasing their revenues.. It is the natural impulse of business to do so; but in the instance under consideration a spirit of hostility to the Market Street Railway Company is being engendered by placing it in the unpatriotic light of having sought to gain a financial advantage out of the national struggle in which we are engaged. Being fully in possession of all the facts which bear upon this case and knowing that the accusation i{s wholly unjust and com- pletely untrue, T have felt that it was at least incumbent upon me to make this statement to the public. Respect- fully, CHARLES E. GREEN, Secretary and Manager Crocker Estate Company. e e THE NEW MARSHAL. State Senator J. H. Shine Presented With a Magnificent Testimonial. State Senator J. H. Shine of Sonora, Tuolumne County, the newly appointed United States Marshal to succeed Barry aldwin, assumed the dutles of his office erday morning. His first official act after the filing of his bond was the arrest of Captain Richardson of the bark Aryan for cruelty to seamen. Marshal Shine said he did not propose to make any changes in his office at pres- ent. The Tuolumne “Independent’” of May 28th contains a leading article giving the particulars of a reception and farewell ex- tended to the Senator by the citizens of the town of Sonora previous to his de- parture for San Francisco. The affair took place in Turn Verein Hall in which place the leading citizens had_assembled pre- ceded by a brass band. J. B. Curtin, in | a happy speech, made on behalf of the people of Tuolumne County a presentation to the Senator of a handsome gold badge of office set with diamonds. The Senator is very proud of the present. e e Coming Fall Race Meetings. The California Jockey Club anounces that it will give a meeting at Sacramento the coming fall, beginning Scptember 19 and continuing, untll October 1.

The same club will also hold a meeting for runners at Los Angeles during the month of Oc- tober. there is but little doubt that the gov- OLD GLORY FLIES AT THE MAIN PEAK Zealandia and China American Vessels. IMPROVING THE COLON. SHE IS BEING FITTED WITH ELECTRIC LIGHTS. A Strike Among the Carpenters on the Zealandia Caused Some Delay in the Work on the Troopship. The steamers Zealandia and China were passed by the United States Board of Inspectors yesterday and at noon the Hawalian flags on both of them were hauled down and. Old Glory thrown to the breeze instead. 1In the case of the Zealandia the Jack was set at the end of the bowsprit and the stars and stripes were flown from the fore and mainmast and the gaff. The flags at. the fore and the gaff were brand new, having been made for the occa- sion, while the one at the main was part of the steamer’s bunting. In honor of her admission to the Ameri- can merchant marine the China flew almost the same flags as the Zealandia. There was no ceremony in either case and the stars and stripes had been fly- ing over each vessel for nearly an hour before the general public along the front were aware that the change had been made. In future the China and Zealandia will appear in Lloyds and the American register as “Ameri- can steamers,” and not “Hawalian.” This will mean a big diminution of the fees earned by the Hawalian consulate and will detract considerably from the importance of Consul-General Wilder on sailing days. The work of getting the Zealandia, China and Colon ready for their trip to Manila with troops is being rushed to completion. A temporary stop was put to the work on the Zealandia early yesterday morning. The trouble was overcome, however, and everything went along as usual. 'W. Boole, the shipwright, engaged a lot of men to do the work required in putting in extra berths in the steamer. All of them, with the exception of four, were union men and they threatened to quit work unless the non-union men were discharged. Mr. Boole was angry, but power- less, and had to give in, so the non-union men were discharged. Boole said that had it not been that the work had to be done in a hurry he would not have given in, but would have sought and secured non-union men. The Zeal- andia, like the Australia, is to be fitted with 491 of Turner's patent bunks. These*when not in use can be trans- formed into 2931 feet of settees on which the men can sit and lounge in comfort. The Colon is having a new electric plant put in and she will be the last of the fleet to get ready. While on the Panama route the Colon was lit with oil lamps, but now that bunks have to be placed In the 'tween decks it was not considered safe to extend the coal cil system that far, so elec- tricity was substituted. The change will greatly improve the steamer and will be a blessing to the soldiers when the tropics are reached. Work on the China is progressing steadily. The quarters for the men in both her and the Colon are to be vast- ly different from what they were on the City of Peking and the soldier boys who will sail on those vessels can de- pend upon having at least a little com- fort. The boys of the Naval Battalion are angry. They say the naval authorities | are fooling them and there is a move- | ment on foot to form a light battery a hundred strong and offer their ser- vices to the army. Last week they were given a year's leave of absence by the State and told to report at the mnaval rendez- vous for enlistment in the service of | the United States. Saturday last they | appeared for examination, but were | told to come again on Sunday. Sun-l day the office was closed.

This comes as a great hardship to the | boys of the reserve, as each of them | lost two days’ work in order to attend | at the naval rendezvous for examina- | tion. It is no wonder, therefore, that they feel sore over the way in which they are being treated. | Lieutenant J. T. McMillan, who for over ten years has been the nautical expert in the Branch Hydrographic Of- | fice, has been ordered to report for duty on the gunboat Wheeling, now at Puget Sound. Lieutenant McMillan has made a host of friends while he has been in San Francisco, all of whom will be sor- ry to hear of his having been ordered to sea service again. He himself, how- ever, is delighted with the change, and is hoping and praying that the Wheel- | ing will be ordered tc the Atlantic. The gasoline launch Belvedere has been a success ever since she was put | on the Sacramento River. She has | been running opposition to the other | river boats between Rio Vista and Sac- | ramento and has done so well that her | owners have decided to improve on her | and give their patrons an improved | service. Hitherto the launch has been | making 9 knots an hour with a 20 horsepower engine, but a 35 horse- | power engine has been ordered from | the Union Gas Engine Company, and | with it the Belvedere will be able to speed up to 12 knots. This will cut her running time down considerably and will prove a great boon to the travel- ing public between Rio Vista and Sac- ramento. The Alaska Commercial Company’s magnificent new steamer St. Paul is to be thrown open for inspection to-mor- row evening between the hours of 8 and 10 o’clock. Those who desire to look over one of the finest ocean steamers ever built on this coast should apply at once to the Alaska Commercial Com- pany, 810 Sansome street. The St. Paul is now lying at section 4 of the seawall. Four overgrown boys stole Dave Crowley’s’ Whitehall from Meiggs wharf and went for a sail. Off Harbor View the boat capsized, and had it not been for an Italian fisherman they would all have been drowned. He took them from the bottom of the upturned boat and landed them on the beach. The British bark Birkdale, which left here on February 20 last for Algoa Bay, had a very rough passage. She was caught in a hurricane and thrown on her beam ends. Two of her boats were smashed by the heavy seas and at one time it was feared that the stout ship would go to the bottom. She was straightened up, however, and reached Algoa Bay in safety a couple of days ago. HAYNES DOUBLE DEFENSE. Witnesses to Prove That Lieutenant Burke Fired the First Shot. Theodore Park Haynes, through his counsel, J. N. E. Wilson, will present a double defense to the charge of murder against him for the killing of Lieutenant Burke. One will be insanity at the time he fired the fatal shot, the other that he fired in self defense. In his statement to the.court and jury Attorney Wilson said that he would prove that the police were responsible for the killing, and that the first shot was fired by Lieutenant Burke, Following the statement, George Foley, the most important witness for the de- fense, was placed on the stand. The wit- ness testified that he was standing near the defendant’s shanty, at the time the shooting took place, and was positive in his statement that Burke fired the first shot. It is claimed by the defense that other witnesses will testify to the same effect. After Foley left the stand the case was continued until this morning. —_—ee——— In tne Divorce Courts.

Almost a Mutiny Aboard the Bark Because Both Parties Wanted Possession of Pussy. There was nearly a mutiny on the American bark Sea King over a cat yes- terday. When the vessel was in New- castle, N. 8. W., pussy came aboard and at once became friendly with the sailors. The captain’s child laid claim to the feline, but strange to say the animal pre- ferred the forecastle to the cabin. When the ship reached this port and came to an anchor yesterday, the. men sought to come ashore and bring the cat with them. The captain and his wife and child objected most strenuously, but with- out avail, as the sailors would not give up the pet. Finally Captain Wallace said that not a man should leave the vessel unless the cat was left on board. That brought the men to time, and s turned over to Mrs. \\'nlln;el. p%hsey sv;;:\: ors assert, however, that as soon as the Sea King docks, or perhaps before that the cat will be missing.

D. Myers, who is employed in his broth- er's sawmill at Fourteenth and Harri- son streets, was taken to the Receiving Hospital yesterday afternoon with his left leg and foot badly burned. Myers had been drinking and crawled into a corner to have a snooze. It is supposed that he had been smoking a cigar which dropped out of his hand on his trousers and mes them on fire.
