BREWERY wagon, driven by a drunken man, ran over and killed taken to the prison and admitted that he Mrs. Isabelle A. Finlay at the corner of Bush and Larkin streets shortly after 5 o'clock.last evening. The woman was wheeling a baby carriage containing her year-old son at the time of the acci- dent, and when she saw that a collision was inevitable her maternal instinct prompted her to attempt to save the child, and in so doing she was thrown under the wheels of the wagon and in- jured so severely that she died at the Recefving Hospital, while the baby es- caped without a scratch. The husband, Edward Finlay, a stew- the Pacific Union Club, had downtown with his wife and left her at the corner of Sutter and Larkin streets a few moments before the acecl- rkin dent.

His statement of the affair was considerably mixed, but he attempted to exonerate himself from all blame. According to his story the horses were at a walk, the hind wheels locked by the brake and Mrs. Finlay ran the baby carriage between the front and rear wheels of the wagon. The statement IS contradicted by S. Bowerman, who wit- nessed the accident and who says the horses struck the buggy first and then the woman was dragged under the Wwheels. Mrs. Finlay was picked up by Louls | Schultz and placed on the sidewalk. .The ambulance arrived shortly' after the acci- dent, and the doctors at the. Recelving Hospital found the woman in a dying con- dition on her arrival. The body was hor- ribly mangled. The chest was crushed, ribs broken, skull and jaw fractured and there were numerous lacerations of the head and rieck. Mr. Finlay was sent for, and reached the hospital before his wifé died, but she did not regain consciousness. Henry Van Marle, an employe of the Lurline Baths, picked up the baby, and his wife took charge of the child until the arrival of Mrs. Schultz, who took him to the hospital.

COMING HOME BY THE WAY OF PARI Request of General Mer- ritt Is Granted. SOON TO BECOME A BENEDICT CEREMONY WILL PROBABLY TAKE PLACE IN CHICAGO. Major General Otis, the Second in Command at Manila, Will Become Governor General. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: “Major General Wesley Merritt has made the request that he | be ordered home to come by way of Paris, and this request has been granted.” This statement was made to me to- day by Secretary Alger. The Secretary thought General Merritt would be able to furnish details which would be in- | valuable to the Peace Commission, but General Merritt’s objective point is the Un'ted States, and gossip is that he is returning home to be married. On his way to San Francisco General Merritt stopped in Chicago to see his flancee, and an interesting speculation has sprung up as to whether the marriage will take place in Paris or the United States. As Secretary Alger explicitly stated that General Merritt requested to be ordered to this country, the conclusion is that the marriage will take place in Chicago. The members of the Peace Commission will be able, however, to take advantage of General Merritt's counsel, as they will arrive in Paris be- fore October 2, while General Merritt (-annv‘-t arrive there before early in that nonth. Secretary Alger stated that General Merritt would be succeeded as Military Governor at Manila by Major General Otis. who is next in command. There is no_intention on the art of ADVERTISEMENTS.

In shaping his Philippine policy, the President was guided mainly by the comprehensive and able sugge: s set forth in Rear Admiral Dewey’s | ement of the situation.

If Outwitted in the Far East Uncle Sam Should Prepare to Resisi Aggressions That Have Humbled China, Special Dispatch to The Call, NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—“The Ameri- can people are aglow with patriotic fervor, and the utmost calmness is necessary in considering our future course,” said United States Senator Cushman K.

Our volunteer army is as good, if not better, than any force of the kind in the world, but we can- not rest secure in that thought. We must have a large regular army ready at call in the future.

FREMONT, Ohip, Aug. 29.—John Meek of this county, father of George B. Meck, who was killed on the torpedo boat Win- slow at Cardenas, May 11, has received a letter and a check for $100. The letter goes to show that young Meek was the first American-born “sailor killed in the Cuban war. The letter received by Mr. Meek reads as follows: “WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—John Meek Esq.—Dear Sir: Some months ago a Cu- ban gentleman, who signs himself Cam- bresis, from the City of Mexico, sent Gen- eral Tomas Bstrada Palma of New York an order for $100, to be given to the wife, children or parents of the first American- born sailor who should die in the war to free Cuba. I have just now been in- formed that your son, George B.

FRESNO EXPOSITOR 1S IN DIFFICULTY May Not Be Published To-Day. FINANCIAL STUMBLING BLOCK BACK SALARIES OWING TO THE EMPLOYES. To Insure Payment of the Men, All Outstanding Debts Are Trans~ ferred to Circulation Agent Danke, L Special Dispatch to The Call, FRESNO, Aug. 29.—The Expositor Publishing -Company this afternoon held a meeting and assigned all out- standing debts to P. B. Danke, circu- lation agent of the Expositor. The as- signment includes both advertising and circulation accounts and it is made to Danke as trustee. The object of the transfer of outstanding debts is to pay back salaries of employes, which in- clude everybody connected with the paper from carriers to editor-in-chief. Mr. Danke, in speaking of the action of the directors, said that he desired it understood that- all money would: be paid those who had been employed on the paper. There is due the employes about $1000, and if collections will not amount to that sum the money will be prorated among the employes accord- ing to the amount of indebtedness to each. The directors, by their action,” have not relinquished their control of the paper and do not propose to do so. A. B. Butler, the real owner of the estab- lishment, holds a mortgage on the plant for $17,000, but to regain actual posses- sion will be compelled to bring regular proceedings in court to foreclose the mortgage, which will take some time. Whether the paper will be published in the meantime is a question. One of the directors, when asked about it, replied that he was not a prophet, but' he doubted very seriously whether the paper would appear to-morrow. The employes, however, have been told to appear as usual in the morning, and it is whispered that something is going to happen. Just what that some- thing is no one seems to know. General Sheehan has been in Fresno for several days and has been looking over the fleld with a view to taking hold of the paper, it is understood. But as the general is a Republican he would find his position a rather anoma- lous one. KILLED IN SWISS MOUNTAINS Dr. Hopkinson and Two Daughters Meet Death While Touring.
