At a meeting of the literary committee of the Fourth of July committee yesterday afternoon John J. Barrett was unanimously chosen as orator of the d T arrangements for the literary exercises have not as yet been entirely completed, but no trotible will be spared to make them exceed even the successful entertainment given last year. It is probable that Metro- politan Temple will be selected, although there is some doubt as to whether it is large cnough, as last year hundreds were turned away. Mr. Barrett is a rising young lawyer, and has already addressed several large public meotings in this city and vicinity. The general committee has nov‘v’ got down to hard, active work, and if it is enabled to carry out half its plans this Fourth will be a memorable one. One of the most successful events last year was the regatta, and Grattan Phillips, chairman of the regatta committee, is already among the rowing clubs and whitehall boatmen to arrange for a day’s sport on the bay which will totally eclipse any previous efforts made in this direction. The general committee 18 still considering the advisability of opening a subscription list, but many of the members prefer seeing the celebration carried out on the $3000 donated by the Board of Supervisors.

The Alpine Club will give an entertain- ment this evening at 28 Golden Gate ave- nue. B Tom O'Rourke may return to this city at an early date,as business pugilistically speaking, is dead in New York. The second exhibition of the California Athletic and Swimming Club will be held on Thursday at Franklin Hall. The main event will be an eight-round “go” be- tween Eugene Mulligan and Jack Gran- field. ~ Mulligan recently fought a six- round draw with Charles Rochette and Jack Granfleld securgd a disputed deci- sion over Mulligan. There will also be a four-round “go” between “Kid” Maynard and Young Chase; also a six-round *go” | between Jimmie Riley and Charles Johns- on. 1 Judson Gibbs, one of the managers of the National Athletic Club, will leave in a few days for Dawson City on a business tour. He will be joined by some of the business men of this city. Jimmy Carroll, the retired light-weight pugilist, has written from Lake Bennett to Billy Jordan & long letter descriptive of the country. Carroll says that he has | millions in sight and “it all goes well he | will return with sacks of the golden treasure.” The pugilist says that people | of a venturesome disposition fier{sh daily in the attempt to cross the lake and that he has had one or two close shaves him- self. SALTER D. WORDEN WILL NOT HANG EXPERTS MEDICAL REPORT 4 THAT HE IS INSANE. Governor Budd Says He Will Accept the Report of Scientists and Commute the Sentence. The commisston appointed by Governor | Budd to investigate the mental condition | of Salter D. Worden has found after an examination of the evidence that Worden has an inherited predisposition to insan- ity and that he comes from what doc- tors call neuropathic stock. Governor | Budd says he will commute the prisoner’s | | sentence to life imprisonment. The commission having duly considered | the manifest intelligence, high standing nd sincerity of the persons from whom hove evidence has been obtained, ac statements as true and holds gitimate conclusfon is that and _irresponsible the that | Worden was | when the crime of which he convicted was committed. The report ends as follows: “Your com- ne m would recommend, in view of the ing evidence, and the conclusions iced therefrom, that the sentence of h should be commuted to that of ment for life; and further, that mi: | fore owing to the dangerous form of insanity | from which Salter D. Worden is suffer- | ing, the welfare of society in general and | the welfare of this diseased and unfor- | tunate individual demands that he should | maining years of his life. “ASA CLARK, ““Medical Superintendent Stockton State Hospital. “F. W. HATCH, “General Superintendent California State Hospitals. “A. M. GARDNER, ““Medical Superintendent Napa State al.” shall probably act favorably upon the report that has been filed in regard to the me: said Governor Budd yesterday afternoon, “and any further than that I shall not | discuss the matter to-day.” | “The report saves the life of the train- wrecker. It says in substance that Wor- den's mental condition is such that it would be unjust to execute the death pen- alty, and therefore life imprisonment is recommended. Dr. Gardner of the Napa Insane Asylum, who recently returned from the | East, collected & mass of evidence in the shape of letters and affidavits from the | relatives and acquaintances of Worden living in Syracuse, N. Y., his former home, and immediate vicinity. This evi- dence he turned over to Dr. Clark of the Stockton Asylum, and Dr. Hatch, State Commissioner of Lunacy and general su- perintendent of the State hospitals, and the report saving Worden’s neck was the result. —— CHRISTIANS AND MISSIONARIES The Alliance Is Holding Interesting Sessions at the U. P. Church. The sessions of the Christian and Mis- sionary Alllance held at the United Pres- byteglan Church, at the corner of Golden Gate ‘avenue and Polk street, vesterday were well attended, and interesting ad- dresses were delivered by different dele- gates. The principal address at the meeting held in the morning was by Rev. A. B. | Simpson of New York, who spoke from | the subject, “The Faith of Abraham.” | Dr. Simpson is the president of the alli- | ance, and the close attention paid his ad- dress proved the love his hearers bear toward him. In the evening Rev. Mr. Simpson was again called upon for a sermon and took for his subject, “The Second Coming of the Lord.” He spoke of the second com- ing of God as fl.[i{\llcd to the foreign mis- elonary work. ev. D. W. le Lacheur, the superintendent of the alliance mis- sionaries in China, followed Dr. Simpson, | speaking in the same line. He called the | attention of the congregation to the great | fleld open for missionaries in the Phillp- | pine Islands, which have hitherto been closed to Christlan workers. At the con- clusion of his discourse volunteers were | called for who were willing to go to Ma- nila and engage in the missionary work, and a number signified their intention of offering thelr services. —_————————— LOST HIS HANDCUFFS. Policeman Murphy Has an Exciting Encounter With Two Soldiers. Officer Dave Murphy had a lively ex- perfence with two soldlers last night. The boys in blue engaged in an altercation with a bootblack who has a stand at Stockton and Sutter streets, and when Murphy attempted to quiet them, one of them drew a bowile knife and made a lunge at him. The policeman quickly drew his club and knocked the soldier out. The latter's companion also at- tempted to stab Murphy, but was pre- vented by the vigorous use of the club in the officer’'s hand. Murphy then start- ed to handcuff the men Intending to take them to the City Prison. Scarcely had he placed a cuff on the wrist of one of the soldiers when the other struck him, almost knocking him down. Murphy requested a citizen who was sta.ndxng by to run to the nearest patrol box and send in a call for the wagon, The citizen laughed at his request, and severely criticized the officer for arrest- ing the soldiers. Just then the two men jumped to their feet and ran down Stock- ton street, taking with them the hand- cuffs of the policeman. They, however, dropped their knives, which Murphy picked up, and subsequently turned them over to Lieutenant Birdsall of the Cen- tral Station. Two Inquests. OAKLAND, June 13.—Coroner Baldwin held two Inquests to-night. The remains found in the bay last night were identified to-day as those of Edwin Boyle, who was drowned at Bl Campo over a week ago. A verdict was found that he came to his death while bathing. The verdict in the case of Mary Frances Kevil, the sixteen-vear-old child-mother, was that she died from strychnine poison- ing administered by her own hand. —_—————————— A Surprise for"the Ladies.

A NEW FARCICAL PLAY LEWIS MORRISON IN “A CELE- BRATED CASE. “Under the Polar Star” at the Grand. Other Attractions That Are Crowding the Theaters. the foyer, scores of people turned awav and a genuine ovation that lasted several moments after his first entrance, was the reception accorded T. Daniel Frawley upon his reappearance Wwith his new company at the Columbia last night. It certainly repaid Mr. Frawley for all the enterprise, hard work and talent he has devoted to the entertainment of the peo- ple of this city. The first nighters were there in full force and were appreclative enough to satisfy the most exacting management. Mr. Frawley introduced his new sup- port in a farcical play in three acts, from the German of Oscar Blumenthal and Gustay Kadelberg, entitied “Number Nine, or the Lady of Ostend.”” The scene is lald in a private house in London. The plot turns upon the miseries caused | by the enterprise of animatoscope fiends | at Ostend, who succeed, through the ef- forts of a pretty and designing young | woman, in getting a rendezvous with Richard Whortles (Edward M. Bell) and | “Ted” Blake (Mr. Frawley) in painfully | embarrassing situations. They are shown | in the “livin at London and Berlin, in love-making scenes on the| beach ‘at Ostend, and their efforts to es- cape the consequences of their acts are extremely ludicrous. Mr. Bell, known as “Hoodoo Dick,’ young married man prone to late hour escapades and invariable detection, fol- | lowed by deep penitence, presents a 'piece | of very capable and highly enjoyable act- | ing. Mr. Frawley's part is well suited to | | him, being that of a handsome, young | | and "impulsive Irishman, who can fall in | 1ove at the least provocation and whose | boast is that he has a “castle in County Clare, In which the nobility once sto; | ped, when there were Kings in Ireland.” Piis’ Randling of the slight brogue he | uses was a work of real art, and his de- velopment of the character such as could well be expected from him. It is one a bubbling with fun and genuine wit and | humor, that Miss duly appreciated. Boughton, as_ Dorathy | suspiclous "and jealous | young wife, made a very favorable im- H 7 in the first and sec. vas Mad | pression, partl | ond acts. Mi of the trouble-creating mother-in-law was excellent, and the same may be said of the part of Samuel Edwards as Joseph | Carboy, the gay old father-in-law with an abiding taste for night larks with an; | body but his wife Present. His comedy | i genuine and of the taking kind. Miss Fanchon Campbell is a dainty and pretty member of the company and will doubt- | less make many friends, . | "One of the hest make-ups that have been seen here for a long time is that of Theodore Roberts as a_ typical British | bruiser, rounder and ex-champion “every- thing" In figure, voice and action he fit- | ted the part to perfection. | Mr. Frawley has certainly used good judgment in the selection of his support, and thedter-goers can confidently 100k forward to dramatic treats during the company’s season. Aside from some ex- cusable nervousness on the part of the strangers, everything went nicely. The settings were véry pretty and natural and were brightened by the wealth of flowers that went over the footlights. The play goes during the weel. At the Orpheum. The attendance at the Orpheum last | evening was good and the entertainment | was satisfactory to the audience. One of | the new attractions 1s Miss Fannie Went- | worth, recently from England. In fact, it was her first appearance on this conti- | nent, and her efforts as a vocalist and pianist were warmly greeted. When Ezra Kendall appeared the reception he recelved showed that he was a_well- known favorite with the people. The Sa Vans recelved a cordial welcome after thelr trip to the southern part of the State. Carlin and Clark, German come- dians, just from New York, caused con- siderable amusement in their specialties. Next week the Orpheum promiseés a num- ber of new attractions that will be well worth seeing. The Tivoll. The attendance at the opening night of “An American Hero” at the Tivoll proved that the management made no mistake when they decided to run the play for an- other week. The opera improves upon acquaintance, the third act especially go- ing off with added eclat. Edwin Steven Father Bernard transformed into the Si- cilian Count is sidesplitting, and when he does the waltz in the approved South Park style the house is convulsed. The opera 1 run during the remainder of the week. “Alli Baba” is in preparation. Grand Opera-House. “Under the Polar Star” was the at- traction at the Grand Opera-house last night. It was an elaborate scenic pro- duction and more than pleased the big audience that witnessed it. There were several recalls during the evening and the play was so well recetved that “standing ropm only"” should be the notice during the remainder of the week. Max Von Mitzel as Silas Rodman, pro- jector and patron of the Rodman Arctic research expedition, and George P. Weh- ster as Dr. Achille Rabon, the scientist of the expedition, were particularly good, while Fred J. Butler as Alexas, the Si- berian guide and hunter, won the hearts of many in the audience. Maud Edna Hall and Landers Stevens sustained their roles well and the remainder of the cast was acceptable. “Under the Polar Star” was well mounted and staged and was under the direction of H. Percy Meldon. At the Alcazar, “A Celebrated Case” has apparently lost none of its attraction, as the Alcazar was crowded last night at Its initial pro- duction by Mr. Lewis Morrison and Miss Florence Roberts, assisted by the stock company. The performance was an even one throughout and the different char- acters were ably sustained. As Lazure in the prologue and Count de Mornay in the play Mr. Morrison showed an excellence of contrast between the coarse and brutal murderer and the polished villain that was marked and striking. Miss Roberts made a most favorable impression as Adrienne and at the end of the second act of the play recelved a curtain call and two splendid floral pieces. Miss Gertrude Foster as Madeline Renaud and Valen- tine de Mornay had an opportunity of dis- tingulshing herself and she did not neaect it. She was particularly effective in the third act of the play when sne dis- covers the identity of the necklace. Wright Huntington did well as Jean Renaud, the gallant soldier and galley slave, but in his excitement at the close of the play he made a faux pas by using the word ‘“‘wife” instead of ‘“daughter,” which caused a ripple of laughter. Wal- lace Shaw made a hit as the Irish ser- eant, and Mrs. Bsates, Mrs. Adele Clark, & arence Montaine and Frank Denithorné sustained their parts creditably. Little Hazel Purdy deserves a word of praise. The play was well mounted. At the Chutes.

Frank McCabe Ends His Life for No Apparent Reason. Frank McCabe of the firm of R. F. Mec- Cabe, photo-engravers, took a dose of cy- anide of potassium at about 9 o’clock last night and died a few hours later. McCabe was only 2L years of age, and his friends are at a loss to know what motive impelled him to take his own life. He was married about a year ago, was the possessor of a comfortable home and a partner in a good business. His father has noticed that he has been acting strangely for some time past, but never imaf;ine that he intended committing suicide or had any serious treuble. Last night his wife heard him groaning in his room and found him writhing in the ag- onies of death. Df. Coffey was immedi- ately called in and did all in his power to alleviate the man's suffering, but the deadly drug had already done its work too well. A FATAL MIDNIGHT COLLISION AN ELECTRIC CAR DEMOLISHES A DIRT WAGON. Three Passengers of the Car and the Driver of the Wagon Injured. A disastrous smashup occurred at 11 o'clock last night at Fourth and Ken- tucky streets between an electric car and a dirt wagon. Car 1136 of the Potrero line was rapidly approaching the city filled with passengers in charge of Motor- man B. Jacobs and Conductor Deegan, and when near the corner of Fourth Ja- cobs saw a heavy dirt wagon, driven by John Johnson of 223 Perry street, on the track ahead. The motorman gave an but Johnson did not heed it. It was impossible to stop the car to avoid a collision, although the brakes were applied, and the front portion of the car collided with the wagon, hurling its driver on his head and completely de- molishing the vehicle. Three passengers in the front seats of the car were thrown heavily to the ground and received nu- merous bruises. Jacobs' escape from in- jury was almost miraculous. He stood at d, although suffering a heavy shock, was able to continue trip. Some time was spent in removing ‘the wrecked wagon from the track and dis- lodging wood from beneath the car be- fore it could be moved. Officer J. Reagan was in_the vicinity when the accident occurred and hurried to the spot. He found Johnson In an un- conseclous condition, bleedin, profusel. from numerous wounds and bruises. He and the three injured passengers were sent to the Receiving Hospital. Dr. Frank T. Fitzgibbons found that Johnson had sustained a fractured skull, a concussion of the bratn and possibly in- ternal injuries. Seraphine Vergnet, cook living at 711 California street, was also severely injured. It was found that he had received a concussion of the brain and possible internal injuries. His com- panion, Emile Rossino, had his back sprained, and David Hanley, a ship fitter | o historic living at 835 sprained leg. Johnson was on his way to the dumping ground with a heavy load of dirt when he was injured. Other passengers were well shaken by the fmpact, but not fnjured. The car was badly wrecked and on the return trip was taken to the car house. It is feared that Johnson will die and but little hope is expressed by Dr. Fitz- gibbon for Vergnet. 2 1 EARNINGS Tllinois street, suffered a CF THE STREET RAILROADS PARTIAL STATEMENT BY THE BIG COMBINATION.

READY TO ANSWER CHARGES THE SIGNATURE OF ONE MAN NEEDED TO BEGIN. Some Interesting Papers Read at the Various Denominational | s Ministers’ Meetings Yesterday. Edwards Davis, the notorious preacher Wwho has astonished the church-going world by his sensatlonal actions, will soon | appear before a jury of brother ministers and give explanation for his erratic con- duct while rastor of the First Christian Church of Oakland and since severing his connection with that institution. At a meeting of the Christian ministers yesterday a committee composed of Rev. | W. A. Gardner, W. §. Berry and A. R. Hathaway was appointed to consult with the erring man, with a view to giving him an opportunity to appear before an inves- tigating tribunal and show why he should not be expelled from the ministry. After the session had adjourned the committee repaired to a lower hall in the Y. M. C. A. building, where it met the much talked of individual. He showed his willingness to | appear before the body by signing a paper prepared by the committee. The signa- ture of J. .. Wishart is needed to the document, and just as soon as it is ob- tained the trial will begin. The latter has proved an obstacle to the carrying on of the Investigation, as he has strenuously retused to attach his name to the paper. It is said that the main reason why Wish- art refuses to sign as representative of the Athenian church is that the charges they maxe against the much-abused preacher are general, waoereas Davis is | trying to hold him down to specific| ones. Pastor Sawyer, who succeeded to | the pulpit of the deposed pastor and who | it is said has resigned, also signed the agreement. At the Presbyterian ministers’ meeting E. Woodward Brown read a paper on “To | Serve God Is to Serve Man.” He said that to serve God well was to serve man, jus- tice and brotherhood weil, and that men | are most good when they are appreciative | of wod's goodness. | it was decided that the committee on | Jewish work be dismissed, not because | they were lacking in interest, but that| their labor was a subject to be taken up by the presbytery. Rev. 8. R. Yarrow of Sausalito read a say on “The Phenomenon of | Conversion and Its Relation to | the Progress of the Kingdom" before the Congregational ministers. He pleaded for | 1 study of the results of the use of conversion in the church. The aim of the reader was to bring out the im-| portance of the idea of conversion be- cause he thought it would make clearer the different methods whereby the church gets its adherents, The Methodists held their usual inter- esting meeting in another hall. Rev. J. L. Whitton introduced a discussion on | the methods of ministers to draw listen- | ers to their churches. He alluded to the | desire of the present day preachers to | dwell on such subjects as the righteous- ness of America’s conflict with Spain and completely ignoring the gospel. He touched on church institutions, which brought up a debate at the conclusion of the paper. Dr. Bovard sald he did not lprrove of ministers chasing after the institutional everything’ making for peace and right- eousness bears the influence of Christi-| anity. He did not consider that a man | ought to be discarded because the crowds interested in him. He thought the| church ought to be the liveliest thing in | San Francisco. It ought to be a Chris- tian church. That multitudes living in | narrow alleys were without places to amuse them and that the work should be wide enough to entertain all. It should | be as broad as the wants of the people. The Christian church should be able tofili | all the wants it meets. If a man wants a little money he ought to be able to leave | his watch to procure it. and it should be | an employment office, and every effort should be made to serve God, A committee, composed of Dr. Ham- mond, Chaplain Macomber of ~ Angel Island and Dr. Locke, was appointed to up suitable resolutions expressive of interest in the four Methodist chap- lains who are serving in the United States volunteer army.
