LOST TO SENSE OF SHAME SCHOOL TRUSTEE PURINTON’S OFFENSE, Takes Advantage of His Position as a Money-Lender to Insult the Wife of a Man in His Debt, Special Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, Aug. 8. —Another of Rea’'s school trustees has disgraced himself and dishonored the voters who were hoodwinked into supporting him on the | plea that he was a “‘good fellow.” This time it is Byron Purinton, trustee of | Gardner School District, adjoining the <city. His offense is a serlous one against the morals of the community, and he is sald to be making prepara- tions to leave the county. This matter, coming so close upon the expose of Trustee Graham's connection with the Cottage Grove Kindergarten, and other irregularities of the City | School Board, is likely to have an ill effect upon the city. Such doings as these will keep away many people who otherwise would bring their children to San Jose to be educated in the local schools. The story of Purinton's trouble is an old one—that of a harsh and crabbed old money lender making love to his mortgagor’s wife, who refuses his at-| tentions and is then threatened with | eviction. This is the substance of the tale, the opening chapter of which be- gan about a year ago, when John San- ders and his wife borrowed $600 from Purinton. This was to enable Sanders | to go into the hay and wood business on the corner of the Alameda and Wil- | son avenue. Sanders gave a mortgage to secure this sum on his little home near the Gardnmer School. He lived | next door to the money lender and had the most implicit faith in him. A couple of weeks ago Purinton proved himself a scoundrel, and now the little district of Gardner is up in| arms over his actions. The sentiment is so strong again Purinton that should | he fail to leave the neighborhood he may be driven from it. Early last month Sanders’ mortgage fell due. He went to Purinton and asked him if he wanted the money, and the latter replied in the negative, say- ing that it could run so long as San- de: wanted it to, as all he wanted was ¢ interest. A week later Purinton invited Mrs. Sanders and her baby to take a ride to Los Gatos with him. The woman consented, thinking Purinton was an honorable man. On the trip he made improper advances to her, finally threatening to ruin her home. Purin- ton told her he was a man of great in- fluence with “Boss” Rea and if she| told her husband he would ruin him financially. Not only this, but he would make it so hot for the Sanders that they would be compelled to leave | town. Mrs. Sanders, in order to stop his in- sulting rema consented to meet him | the following day. She said nothing ter would end with her not keeping the appointment Not o with Purinton. When he saw the woman had deceived him he went | to Sanders and demanded immediate satisfaction of his mortgage. Sanders told his wife that evening of Purin- ton’s action, and then the woman re- Second race, six fu Hi, !

For several days Sanders repeated his | lis at the Purinton home, with| cal threats of vengeance. This frightened afety in San Francisco. Sev- s ago he returned to his home, remained in hiding since his arrival. Now the neighbors have taken the up and are determined to rid es of the man. Purinton was ed in a mortgage sale on Sat- y, but he was so failed to appear at the place. This has not satisfied Sanders and when the two men meet there bids fair to be trou- ble. Mrs. Sanders is a pretty and petite woman of about 28 years, while Purin- ton is 60. Purinton served several terms as +hool trustee in Gardner District some years ago. In 1896 he was re-elected as a Rea candidate, and he has openly boasted that he was close enough to the “boss” to run things to suit him- gelf in the district. At the last elec- tion he succeeded in making his daugh- ter, Beulah Purinton, a burden on the Gardner taxpayers by creating for her a position in the school. A few days ago Purinton tendered his signation as trustee. He did this to ave himself the humiliation of being ousted, and from preparations he is sought eral d but has leave the city to save the people of Gardner the trouble of running hlmi out.

Lord Wolseley Approves His Mission. UNCLF SAM AND JOHN BULL WORKING IN ALLIANCE THE TWO NATIONS COULD RULE. “If We Were One in Aims and Ob- jects No Foreign Nation Would Dare to Fire a Shot With- »ut Our Leave.” Spectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 8.—Hiram 8. Maxim, inventor of the Maxim gun and a staunch American, has recelved a letter from Lord Wolseley, commander of the British army, who expresses the warmest advocacy of a close union be- tween the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Maxim arrived from England last Saturday. He says everywhere he found the greatest enthusiasm when the project of a union of the branches of the Anglo-Saxon race was men- tioned. The inventor has begun a campaign for a unity of the race on his own account. It was in reply to a communication from him advocating his cherished plan that Lord Wolseley wrote this letter, a copy of which, with the permission of the English com- mander, Mr. Maxim has given to The Call. The letter is as follows: “War Office, London, S. W.—Dear Mr. Maxim: Your letter of the 13th inst. is intensely interesting to me, and I fully indorse all you say about the absolute | necessity of the closest possible union | between all sections of the Anglo-| Saxon race. If we two natlons—Great | Britain and the United States—were | one in their aims and objects and de- manded that peace on earth which in-| sures good will among men, no foreign nation would dare fire & shot without our leave. “I am sending on your letter to be| read by others, for I think your pro- | posed campaign would be worth to us far more than a dozen Wei-Hai-Weisor Soudans, and to you more than Cuba, Manila and the whole kingdom of Ferdinand and Isabella thrown in. I will let you know by and by. With very kind regards to you and Mrs. Maxim belleve me to be yours, “WOLSELEY. “Hiram 8. Maxim Esq., 18 Queen’s Gate Place, 8.

BERLIN, Aug. 8—The Federal Coun- cil has sent Prince Herbert Bismarck an address of condolence. It refers to the deceased as the “great herole first Chan- cellor of the united Fatherland,” and continues: “The two decades during which he worked at our head have be- come imperishable landmarks of Ger- many’'s greatness and welfare, and his spirft was so powerful that it will con- tinue to make itself felt for centurles to come. His name will always be honored as the supreme essence of true patriot- fsm and nation-leading statecraft. To him is assured the everlasting gratitude of the Federal Council and of the whole German nation.” FRIEDRICHSRUHE, Aug. 8—Count and Countess Willlam von Bismarck have st gone to their estate at Koenigsburg, E: Prussia, and Prince Herbert von B marck is expected to follow on Wednes- day.

SUPPRESSION OF CATHOLIC JOURNALS IN ITALY Pope Leo Issues an Encyclical Pro- testing Against Recent Govern- | ment Action. ROME, Aug. 8.—The Pope has {ssued an encyclical protesting against the sup- pression of Catholic journals during the recent insurrection, which it declares to be “illegal, contrary to Christianity, spe- speclally directed against the Papaecy, and calculated to embitter religious confilet,so prejudicial to Italy, and to remove a con- ative force against soclalism and ar Nevertheless, Catholics,” tha encyeli- cal continues, “though opposed to all re- bellion, will not alter their policy either for threats or violence.

ADVENTURE AT SAUSALITO YACHTSMAN SAVES TWO YOUNG WOMEN. Assistance Reaches Him Just as He Is About to Sink Into the Waters of the Bay. % Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAUSALITO, Aug. 8.—“Thank God we are safe! A million dollars would not tempt me to undergo the experi- ence again.” It was Miss wlice Hagerman, a well- known metropolitan belle, who breathed this fervent prayer of gratitude. She stood on the wharf of the San Francis- co Yacht Club house in company with two companions—Arthur D. Naylor, a bank clerk, and Miss Sullivan. All were dripping wet from an involuntary bath in the waters of the bay, for theirs was as narrow an escape from death as ever was recorded. The two ladies have been passing a few days in Sausalito. Yesterday they took a long sail on the yacht Twilight, owned by Naylor. They returned and anchored their craft early in the even- ing. About 8 o'clock one of the young ladies remembered an article left on board and .{aylor rowed them out to get it. As they were about to return Miss Hagerman, who was the last to leave the yacht, stepped on the gun- wale of the skiff. The frail craft cap- sized and plunged all three into the water. A strong tide was running and Nay- lor was unable to catch hold of the | skiff. With great presence of mind he instructed the terror-stricken girls to | hold on to his shoulders and started to swim for the yacht Will-o’-the-Wisp. He had nearly covered the distance, fully one hundred yards, when Miss Sullivan’s fright caused her to grasp him around the neck, nearly strangling the athletic swimmer. He managed to release her hold and catching the girl by an arm covered the remaining dis- tance, swimming with one arm. Secur- ing a grip on the stern of the yacht Naylor yelled for help. Mathias Lang, steward at the San Francisco Yacht Club house, heard the cries and set out to the rescue. It was so dark as almost to render objects un- discerntble and as Naylor's cries grew fainter through exhaustion Lang had a hard task to discover the unfortunate party. The rescue was accomplished just as Naylor's fingers were slipping from their hold through sheer exhaus- tion. LARGEST WHEAT CROP IN AMERICA’S HISTORY From Indications the ¥ield of 1891 Will Be Increased by a Hun- dred Million Bushels.

Marquard Hansen’s Beautiful Resi- dence Laid in Ruins. REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 8—Word was received here late this . afternoon that the beautiful residence of Marquard Han- sen at Belmont had been burned to the ground. Smoke was noticed coming aut of the cupola of the house shortly after 3 o'clock this afternoon. Nothing could be done to extinguish the fire because of the poor facilities at hand, and in a short time the mansion was a mass of ruins. A large part of the furniture and per- Sonal property was removed from the building before the fire galned much headway. Mr. Hansen Is a wealthy resident of this county and operates a large planing mill in San Francisco. His house was one of the largest and costliest in or about Belmont.

SHIPMENT EAST PREVENTED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND IN THE BUNCH. Government Inspector Refuses to Al- low Stock to Be Sent Out of the State From That Section, Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Aug. 8.—The Government has refused to allow stock from this part of the State to be shipped out of California on account of the prevalence of Texas fever among the herds. To-day Carey Brothers, Omaha buy- ers of cattle, had 25,000 head of stock condemned at Hanford by Dr. C. H. Blemer, chief Government inspector for California. Not all the animals were affected nor even a small part of the band, but the disease was found in a number of them and hence the whole band was condemned. The Inspector would not allow apparently well ones to be segregated from feverish cattle and shipped on, for the reason that they had been exposed to the disease and he feared they might develop it en route. Had Carey Brothers bought the stock uncenditionally they would have lost between $25,000 and $50,000 on the deal, but they purchased it on condition that it would pass inspection by the Govern- ment authorities.
