Two Washington Volunteers ‘Will Be Punished for Circu- lating a Mustering-Out Petition. The men of the First Washington Regi- ment, now doing garrison duty at the | Presidio, indignantly deny the statement | tuat they are desirous of belng mustered out of the service because they are not going to Manila. They declare that, while they enlisted to go to the Philippines, they are soldiers enough to do whatever duty is given them. They are contented | with thelr present duty, and regret that | they should be put In the light of kickers simply because of a few discontents who circulated a petition asking that the regi- ment be musterdd out. The men who got | up the petition that was to have been | forwarded to the Secretary of War were Privates C. B. Witt of Company K and G. C. Winkler of Company D, and at | present they are in the guard house as @ result of this breach of military dis- c!lene, and will be tried by a court mar- | tial. | The men persisted in circulating a pe- titlon addressed to the Secretary of War, asking that the regiment, inasmuch as the war was over, be mustered out of the service. The facts in the case are these: Every man in the regiment is entitied to apply for his discharge if he can show good reason for his leaving the service, and in every case the applica- tion, if the reason be a good one, has been approved by Colonel Wholley. When Colonel Whoiley learned of the petition he ordered the men to desist from circu- Iating it, as it wac not the proper way for a petition of dlscharge to be for- warded. The men were arrested under the sixty-second article’ of war, for conduct prejudico to zood srder and’ military dis- cipiine. Colonel Wholley said yesterday that every man, individually, had a right to apply for a discharge, provided he did £0 in the proper manner.

CAMP BARRETT, Sather Tract, Aug. 23.—For the past two days Colonel Hen- shaw has not been very much in evi dence about camp, and to-day It leaked out that the commander has passed through an experience that reduced him considerably and might have re- sulted very seriously. Colone! Henshaw had been complaining of dizziness lately, and to relleve this condition it was suggested that he be bled. Regimental Surgeon Yost perform- ed this operation. When sufficient biood had been drawn to relieve the pa- tient, and Surgeon Yost had concluded to draw no more, Colonel Henshaw in- sisted that he continue.” This was done, with the result that the patient became completely exuausted, and grave fears were entertained for a brief period as to He was doing nicely to- day, however, and is now gaining rap- idly In strength. Three corporals and one sergeant were reduced to the ranks to-day, because of their overindulgence in spirituous liq- uwors. The rules at camp are very strict in such matters. sedl War Incidents. There is every indication of a very large attendance at the drill and field tac- tics of the Eighth Caifornia Regiment at Recreation Parks Sixteenth and Folsom streets, next Saturday afiernoon. The Christian Commission still has six tents in successful operation at the Pre- sidlo. Two diet kitchcas have recently been opened, where delicacies are pre- pared for the men who are convalescent. The following additional sums have been received for the benefit of the Christian Commission work in the past few days: First Presbyterian Church of Alameda, $25; the Mothers Club, $53 76; Union Societies of the Y. P. S. C E. of Coronado, $3; F. Meyer, San Diego, $1; First Congregational Church of Sacra- mento, $21 T additional from Kansas drill, $63 20; from sale of buttons, $3 5. Thirty-nine horses belonging to Troop M, Fourth Cavalry, were s lyped yester- day to Boise to Troop F of the same regiment. The horses were in chaige of Sergeant F. C. Wal '“f of Troop M. Colonel Smith’s reply to the complaint of the Thomas famil asking damages to the amount of 35000, was submitted to General Miller yesterday, and In it he de- nies all of the allegations of the com- plainant as regarding the manner in which the damage was done and the num- ber of men engaged in the affair. As soon as he received the reply General Miller appointed the following board of officers to meet and assess the damages: Captain W. H. Bishop, Twentieth Kan- sas; First Lieutenant R. J. Galnes, Fifty- first lowa, and First Lieutenant A. J. Bright, First Tennessee. The court mar- tial appointed to try the soldiers of the Tennessee Regiment implicated In the affair met yesterday morning and com- menced the trial. The finding of the court will not be made public until it has been Zpproved or disapproved by General Mil- ler. The Seventh California Regiment will move its camp from Point Lobos avenue to the Presidio this morning. —_—————————— COMING FIGHTS. Contests of the Meanhattan and Ex- celsior C:ubs.

Physiclans recommend the Crystal warm ses water tub and swimming baths, North Beach. 1 evening at St. A CHILD OF THE OCCULT Viola Sickmon Visited by a Strange Influence. SHE IS BUT TEN YEARS JLD BELIEF THAT SHE HAS RARE| SPIRITUALISTIC POWER. | At the Present Time Nothing but Re- markable Physical Changes Are Noted in These Controls. In a lodging house at 127 Second street | is a little girl who is visited by spme | forelgn spirit, and of such force is thisi strange influence that mediums of ex- pericnce pronounce the child a marvel with a future of spiritualistic potentiali- | ties that know no bounds. Her name is Viola Sickmon. She is just 10 years old, but advanced far beyond her years in worldiy wisdom and in those things that are beyond the view of mortal ken. Her mother made an application yester- day to Frank Kane, the secretary of the Soclety for the Suppression of Vice, to have the daughter taken care of durin= the next few years of her life. Th. reason of the mother's desire to separate her daughtsr from herself and have her placed in . corrective school is to free the chiid from the possibilitles of evil that surround her in their present ephere. The child’s precocity and her evident maturity, despite her years, have filled the mother with forebodings. Accord- ing to the mother, Viola, a child in physique but aged in the experience of the occult, is a natural medium. She is as yet undeveloped and her potentialities are great.® Up to a month ago Viola was regularly thrown into a state of violent physical excitation twice in every twenty-four hours. She would taen beat the air wildly with her hands and arms, and so great was her strength when in this condition | that a very strong man nslnq his tull | strength could not hold her. When her arms were tied the little girl complained of flerce inward struggles, as If her heart was surging upward and outward. So grcat was the pain that the arms had to ¢ untied immediately. A month ago these visitations from the unknown world ceased, and the mother hoped that the little child was free from them forever, but yesterday théey return- ed. Mrs. Sickmon Is a believer in spirit- ualism and thinks that her daughter is a natural medium. She will allow her daughter to be taught the art and give her spiritual power a chance to develop. Some time ago a professional medium lived in _the house and she took Viola in hand. Several spiritualists have been consulted by the mother, and they pro- nounce-it a case of rare natural ability. So far the spirits which take possession of the girl have been unable to induce her to talk. They have not succeeded farther than to upset her normal condition and enerate a windmill motion of the arms. he very mention of spiritualism or me. diums in the gresence of the child in- duces one of these strange physical dis- tortions. DR. J. T. EARNEST DEAD. An Ex-Union Soldier Succumbs to Cancer in St. Luke’s Hospital. Dr. J. T. Barnest died on Tuesday Luke’s Hospital. Dr. Earnest was a graduate of Jefferson Mad- ical College in Philadelphia in 1859, and ‘was practicing his profession in his na- tive State, Tennessee, when the war broke out. He was appointed an assist- ant surgeon of the Sixtieth Regiment, Tennessee Infantry, and served with dis- tinction until the close of the rebeliion. Shortly after the war he came to San Trancisco and engaged in the grain busi- ness, and at one time was one of the most prominent and successful operators. He was a gentleman who made and had many_friends, and was of a genial and kind disposition. Dr. Earnest was a member of the Con- federate Camp of Veterans of this city. His funeral takes place from the under- taking parlors ~+ 2666 Mission street at 10:30 o’clock on Thursday. —_——— ‘Wants Her Family Allowance. Mrs. Theresa Bell filed an application yesterday for an order compelling the executors of the will of Thomas Bell— George Staacke and J. W. C. Maxwell— to show cause why they should not pay her family allowance. Mrs. BeM alleges that there is still due from the executors on that account a sum exceeding $20,000. By the last accounts flled by the execu- tors it appears that they have In their “hands casl amountlniwto $866 06. Mrs. Bell alleges that she believes that they have other moneys In their possession, but in the event such proves not the case she asks that they be made to apply the ML 05 In thelr possession on the ac- count THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WILL ENTER THE RING TO-NIGHT. ELECTRIC T0 SUPERCEDE STEAM POWER The Printers Favor the Proposed Change. PLAN OF THE NEW/ SYSTEM | STOCK OF THE STuAM POWER COMPANY SOLD. Purchased by Its Former Rival and Competitor, the San Francisco Gas and Electrical Company. The spirit of progress and Improvement }has entered that peculiar domain known | as “‘Printers’ Row,” the center of which |1s at Sansome and Commercial streets. It | includes nearly all the great printing, lith- ographing, bookbinding, electrotyping and type-founder plants, and some vears ago was the home of several of the daily papers. The motive power to run the machinery of these various establishments has for over a third of a century been supplied by the Commercial Steam Power Works. About two years ago this company In- stalled a large electric plant for the pur- pose of furnishing light and power to that section. Its steam power was distributed through several of the adjacent blocks and with its increased facilities it became & strong competitor of the big electrical companies and gradually extended its lines throughout that district. It is stated that for some time past there has been an understanding by which the Commerclal Steam Power Works con- fined their operations to a certain section north of Callfornia street. However, this arrangement became unsatisfactory to the San Francfsco Gas and Ekec(rlcrb ht Company and negotiations were begun %or the purchase of the property of the rival company. { In order to obtain the sentiment of the job printers and allied trades on the jjro- {xused change to electric motors, a meet- ing of the Typothetae was held on Mon- day afternoon and a vote on the question as to whether it would be an advantage or disadvantage to accept the change was taken. With but a few exceptions tue impression was general that the new sys- tem would be a marked advantage instead of a detriment, as was first supposed. After considerable discussion, the few who withheld from voting it into general favor accepted the conditions, which re- quired each firm to purchase and keep in repair all motors used. he conces: s, if any, offered by the new company were not made public, but it is stated that they are reasonable. The venerable steam plant will be taken out and the modern power installed in the near future. The terms of the transfer are private. “LA GIOCONDA.” Artistically Presented by the Alter- nate Tivoli Cast Last Night. Amilcare Ponchielli’s great work, “La Gioconda,” was sung last night with the second cast of principals at the Tivoli. { As thie opera has been produced exten- sively throughout the United States, a few words about its history would not go amiss. The composer was born at Pa- derno, Italy, in 1834, the son of a poor organist. At the ageé of 11 he was ad- mitted as a student to the Milan Con- servatory of Music. His teachers. were Angelini, Frisi and the immortal Rossi. Ponchielli’s talent was so wonderful that he graduated from the conservatory in 1854 as a “‘maestro compositore.” His first opera was entitled ‘“La Stelle del Monte,” the second “I Promessi Sposl” (“The Promised Bride”). In 1576 “La Gioconda™_won for him a place in the foremost rank of modern dramatic com- {aosers. The libretto, partly founded on /ictor Hugo's drama, “‘Angelo, the Tyrant of Syracuse,” is one of the most powertul and poetical works of modern times, and is bound to fascinate the reader, even apart from the music which it has in- spired. The name of the librettist is given as Tobia Gorrie, but it is no secret that we have here an anagram of the name of Arrigo Boito, the brilliant writer and composer of “Mefistofele.” To the connoisseur of good music it is satisfying to hear the same grand opera twice, sung by alternate casts. The sense of comparlson is stimulated, and the management of the Tivoli must be aware of this fact, as shown by their enterprise. Miss Anna Lichter sang the part of La Gioconda last night with her usual fervor. She is capable of fine coloratures, and has a marvelous control of her voice, appar- ently without any effort. Mr. Pruette as Badoero cannot conceal his Anglo-Saxon origin, but his powerful barytone and fine acting gave a_very pleasing effect. Ea- gardo Zerni, as the hot-headed lover En- %o, scored another triumph, and the au- dience rewarded him by repeated curtain calls. Mr. Schuster as the somber head of the Inquisition, deserves the rullest com- mendation. His deep basso voice has a very pleasant sound, and 1%s makeup was perfect to the smallest detail. The sale of tickets for the next week of “I Pagliacci’” and '‘Cavallerfa,” alternat- ing with “Mignon,” has begun, and has already assumed large proportions. —_—————— IN THE DIVORCE COURTS. Unhappy Couples Granted Decrees and Many File Suits. Yesterday was a busy day in the di- vorce courts. The time of various Judges was largely occupied in hearing the sto- ries of mismated couples and ordering payment of alimony, while down in the County Clerk's office the deputies busied themselves flling fresh applications of unhappy wives and husbands. The appllcation of Susie M. Lewliston for a divorce from Thomas E. Lewiston was first heard in the courts. She was granted a divorce from her husband on the ground of willful neglect. A minor child of the litigants was given into the custody of the plaintiff’s mother. Willlam Meakin was up befor® Judge Dunne on an order to pay alimony. Af- ter hearing several witnesses Meakin was ordered to pay Sarah E. Nelson, matron of the Salvation Shelter Home, for the benefit of his wife, Louisa Meakin, ali- mony in the sum of $15 per month. Paullne Roschman was granted a di- vorce from Charles Roschman on the ound of cruelty. The plaintiff was al- owed to resume her maiden name, Krause. The decree of divorce granted Alma E. Heney from Archibald Henev on the round of desertion last Monday was or- sered set aside and a new decree issued on the ground of failure to provide. Arthur L. Gutterson has sued his wife, Minnie M. Gutterson for a divorce, al- leging cruelty as a cause of complaint. ura L. Flannigan has applied for a divorce from John H. Flanni, because of the latter's failure to provide for her. Suits for divorce on the ground of de- sertlon have been filed by Jullus Catoir against Caroline Catoir, and Susanhah H. Poutoppidan against H. P. J. Poutoppi- O finnie . Weisman alleges that her nnie thusband, Otto Weisman, fi failed to provide for her, and she asks for a di- vorce upon that ground. Edith Smith has ngfil‘led for a divorce trom Robert Smith. e plaintiff alieges that for some time past her husband has fatled to contribute to her support. _Failure to Provide. Philip Gretsch, rectifier in the store of Bibo, Newinark & Ikenberg, grocers, Cali- fornia and Polk streets, was arrested yes- terday afternoon on a warrant charging him with failure to provide for his child. He was released on his own \l':formm u Mo .
