We only lived to. gether two weeks, you w, and I found it absolutely necess; g¥isit the Pa- cific Coast. ~ He de t T had my and left him in New York. After he joined me here Wg found that our mutual happiness démanded a separ- ation, but he would pot assent to it. Then 1 learned of his jinfidelity and en: deavored to free my from him in Fresno. But the st -hearted Judge there insisted that we arranged the proceedings beforehand, d refused me a decree. Within a lew days Mr. Fen- nell disappeared, and I ascertained later on that he had gone to London. Since then T have not had a word from him, and T have no idea where he is or whether he is living or dead. ‘T expect Barone Vittore in San Fran- cisco within a few months, and if I am free then, as I expect to be, we shall be married at once. _After that,my plans are uncertain. but T shall probably spend the winter in Italy.” With this Mrs. Fennell begged to be excused, and the brief interview came to an end. Mrs. Fennell, who may be known later on as the Baroness Cell ried to John D. Fiske about twelve years ago. He was shot and Killed by F. C. Stillman, and the latter is now sérving a life sentence in San Quentin-as a resuit of the crime. She was left a large es- tate by Fiske. Then she married Colonel Theodore Marceau, the well-known pho. tographer, and_her marriage to Gerald Fennell sicceeded her divorce from Col- onel Marceau by only two days. e e LOWELL'S BEST POLYTECHNICS.

A little more than a year ago Mrs. Fennell brought an action in the Fresno County court against Mr. Fennell, charging him with adultery, but Judge Clonley refused to grant her a de- cree on the ground, as he expressed it from the bench, that there was collu- sion t thé parties. Judge Conley’s conclusion was evidently based on the natural assumption that liti- gauts in an action of such a character shemld not be on intimate, if not actually affectionate terms. be-free a moment’s /se was pending.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %8 Broadway, Sept. 24. | The dead body found on the lawn in | front of the Tabor boarding house, 533 Hobart street, late last night, was this morning identified as that of Cleophas Gregoire, a French-Canadian, aged 28 years, who until a few days ago had been employed at the Remillard Brick Com- pany’s works at Pleasanton. Last night, after what was supposed to have been a thorough examination of the wounds on the left breast directly where the heart is located in the ordinary anat. omy of man, Dr. M. M. Ennos gave it as his opinion that the man had been mur- dered. He contended that no man could | fire five bullets through the heart, or in such proximity as the wounds indi cated, with suicidal intent. The murder theory was, therefose, gen- erally accepted as the only correct solu- tion until this afternoon, when Dr. S. H. Buteau had completed an autopsy. The autopsy revealed a physical con- dition that will prove of interest to sci- | ence, and particularly to the medical world, and according to Dr. Buteau's analysis of the case, totally removes the | last shred of the murder theory. It was discovered that five bullets from the 38-caliber revolver found by the side of the dead man last night had entered where any one of them would, in the ordinary anatomy, have plerced the heart, or so close thereto that the wound in- flicted would have proved fatal. But Gregoire’s heart was on the right sl}:ie. the He had mi first four shots, alculated when he fired and the last shot | e touched the heart, the lobe of ch organ barely extended over the center line from the right side of the | body. Dr. Buteau had carefully noted tif course of each bullet. One entered sor | plerced the fourth rib about one inch to the right of the nipple; another plerced | the fourth ntercostal space, one-half inch | to the right of the left nipple; two pierced | the fifth intercostal space on a line with | the same nipple; and one plerced the sixth | rib in line witli the nipple at the lower border of the sixth rib. Two of these bullets had plerced the lower lobe of the lung and near its inner margin, and one | | of the other missiles just grazed the lower | | tered the cavity. | | | . S.; third, Bfccomi, P.

The joint 8th of September celebration | committee of the Native Sons ef the | Golden West held a meeting last night | for the purpose of winding up the affairs of the recent celebration, but such a re- sult could not be accomplished by reason of the fact that four of the parlors had | not made a settlement with the treas- urer. At the previous meeting the committes | passed a vote of thanks to T. R. Judah | of the Southern Pacific Ralilroad Com-~ pany for the businesslike manner in which he had arranged for the transpor- tation of excursionists on the 9th; also a vote of thanks to P. J. Kelly, one of the company’s_ticket agents, for courtesies shown. = These gentlemen acknowledged by letter the appreciation of the commit- tee. An unofficial statement made, based upon the returns of tickets taken up by the raiiroad company, showed that the excursion had been a financial success and that after the payment of all ex- enses there will be a dividend of about 100 to each of the twenty-elght parlors represented in the committee. l’t was also stated that with tickets at less rates than in 1564 the recelpts were equal to those on the occasion of the vious celebration in Ban Jose, sho that the attendance was greater than on that occaslon. The four delinquent parlors were -al- lowed until Rext Thursday to make final settlement with the treasurer. The committee agreed to stand the loss of seven and orfe-half tickets which were lost In the dlsgumlon of them by ticket sellers and which the sellers had been compelled to account for. The committee will have another meet- ing next Saturday night. —— Convicts Sentenced. George McQuillan, for a second time convicted of petty larceny, was sentenced to two and a half years in San Quentin by Judge Borden I'esterday. T. J. Mon- aghan, convicted of robbery, was given a term of seven and a half "years in San Quentin. Francis Mahoney, found guilty of simple assault, was sentenced to pay a fine of and spend three months in the County Jall’ LONDON WOQOL SALES.

The apex of the organ, which extended slight- | ly over the center line, had been grazed | by one bullet, but the missile had not en- It was Dr. Buteau's opinion that Gre- goire_had been born that way, but that the dead man had been wholly uncon- scious or ignorant of his heart’s location during his life. and that when he shot | himself he held the revolver where he | supposed the vital organ to be. None of the wounds were considered necessanly fatal except the one that grazed the lobe of_the heart. The wounds. moreover, clearly showed powder burns, and two of the bullets had pierced the body and lodged in the back of the coat, which fact the surgeon and Coroner Baldwin believed demonstrates that deceased laid himself upon the lawn, utilizing both hands while settins the re- volver in place against his breast, and I\redk until the fatal bullet did its deadly work. From all accounts Cleophas Gregoire, the dead man, had not been of sound mind for some time past. He had been discharged at the emillard Works in Pleasanton a few days ago. and called at | the company’s office in this city last even- ing. Philip Remillard had received the following letter a day or so previous, which is self-explanatory: PLEASANTON, Sept. 22, 1398, 1 had to discharge Gregolre, as he is out of his head. He kept me awake all night a couple of days ago. I cannot trust him any longer. 1 am afraid he will harm me. He will call at the office, as I gave him a draft for $200. I told him to go to Canada, and I wish you would tell him the same. It may help him It he goes back. Be careful. because you cannot tell what he might do. He carrles a revolver. Your friend, ELZEAR. Gregoire had come down from Pleas- anton with E. Remillard last evening, | and intended to go to his former home | in Canada. The brass railroad checks found on him were for his baggage, which he intended taking with him. Mr. Remillard says that on the trip down from Pleasanton Gregoire acted very queerly. On arriving in this city he went to the company’s office to draw | his pay, and thereafter wandered off. The Dear Philip: last night, but told Gregoire to call to- day. I’t’ developed to-day that the first &er- sons to discover the dead man were Rev. F. B. Perkins and Miss Alice Monroe, the the body was inspected by Rev. Mr. Per- It was Rev. Mr. Perkins who notified the police. The deceased had a second cousin here, Alfred Gregoire, a teamster in the em- ploy of the Remillards, who also identi- fied the remains, At the inquest Boller identified the by the side of the deceased as Gregolre's. Dr. Buteau's testimony brought out no new facts. John P. Ge- linas, secretary for the Remillards, testi- fled that whnen deceased came into the company’s office last evening he had an overcoat over his arm and that the $200 draft was in one of the pockets. How- ever, Gregoire's cousin, Alfred, cleared away all doubts when he testified that afterward the deceased c¢alled at his room and at that time had no overcoat. The {)ury returned a verdict of death caused y five gunshot wounds, but failed to de- termine whether these were inflicted by deceased or by some unknown person. to-night George revolver found Husband Made No Contest.

How Arthur Downey and Frank Moffitt Were Saved by William Scott in the Estuary. OAKLAND, Sept. 24—A dual act of bravery and saving of life in the estuary, which occurred a few days ago, has just leaked out, notwithstanding the modesty of Arthur Downey and William Scott, the two heroes. A lad named Frank Moffitt, residing at Central avenue and Webster street, Alameda, and Arthur Downey of this city, two boys, were fishing off Web- ster street bridge, when the first named fell into the water. Downey jumped in to rescue him and after several attempts he succeeded in bringing Mofiitt to the sur- face of the water. %’he latter, however, apparently desperate, fought_ against Downey’s efforts to save him. Soon both lads were so weakened that a watery grave for both seemed inevitable. Fortu- nately for both, at this junctiure William Scott came to their rescue. He jumped |in and seizing Downey by the hair, while the latter was also in the grasp of Moffitt, he pulled them to the pier, when other assistance was available. Soldiers’ Appreciation. OAKLAND, Sept. 24.—Major F. W. Dud- ley, surgeon 6f the Eighth California Regiment, now at Vancouver Barracks, has sent a letter to Mrs. John Lynch of the Catholic Truth Socfety here, express- ing the thanks of the soldiers for the valuable aid rendered by the society to the field hospital while the regiment was at Camp Barrett. A similar letter- of thanks was also sent by. Company K, signed by every man in the company. e THE ALAMEDA TAX LEVY. It Will Probably Be Fixed by the Trustees at $1 05 on the $100. ALAMEDA, Sept. 24.—The Board of City Trustees met last evening as a com- mittee of the whole to discuss the fixing of the tax le The estimates were sub- mitted as already published, and it was found that they would require a levy of $117 in order to raise the amounts asked by the' various departments. The figures of the actual e: ernment, it was found, could be reduced to a point that would make the levy §1 05. This would allow nothing for betterment and would include only the actual cost of The rate of $106 would make the total tax rate the same as last year—s$l 2. rate was $1 12, but the county and State rate this year is 7 cents more than last, making the total the same. It is reported that the trustees will attempt to reduce the rate to $1, but it is not apparent how this can be done without impairing the efficiency of some of the departments. Considefing the population and the many conveniences enjoyed, the cost of the city government is not large. A Homing Pigeon Traced. ALAMEDA, Sept. 2i.—A_homing pigeon was recently 'Killed near Fresno, bearin on one of its legs an aluminum . band “R. $$.” Harry Whitman, the city, who has a record of the birds belonging to members of the California Homing Pigeon Association, finds by reference to that record that the bird belonged to O.

ALEXANDER STAIR DEAD. One More of the Early Pioneers Called Away Forever. Death. has claimed another of Califor- nia’s ploneers in the person of Alexander Stair, who died last Friday at his resi- dence, 1621 Clay street. The deceased was well known among the business men of this city for a number of years. He was one of C. 8. Laumeister's bookkeepers in the milling business during the past fif- teen years, and prior to that time he had been engaged in a similar capacity by Deming, Palmer & Co. in their milis on Sacramento street. The deceased was born in York, Pa., seventy-one years ago, and arrived in San Francisco June 10, 1849. From here he moved to Tuolumne County, where, like many more of the early arrivals, he took a turn at mining, but not finding the mother lode he returned to San an- cisco, where he became a resident. Dur- ing.the incumbency of C. S. Laumeister as Sheriff of this city he served as com- missary of the Colnty Jails.
