Vall, junior partner of the firm of Sanborn Vlnfl & k'z)mpuny and first secretary of the Merchants' Assoclation— The statement that the Merchants’ Asso- clatlon, acting as a body, has either offi- olally or unofficlally given indorsement to r. Phelan's candidacy is an unqualified le. Individual members have probably oxpressed their preference one way or an- gther for there are both Patton men and Phelan men In the assoclation, but the assoclation has indorsed no one, nor can it under its constitution. . W. Dohrmann, president of - sociation, would not” speak offelaily for the association, as his leave of absence 1s 8till In force and he has not yet resumed the duties of his office. ~ Personally, though, he was willlng to speak. ‘Tha statement that the Merchants’ Associa- tion has indorsed Mr. Phelan is an abso- lute untruth. Politics does not come un- der the province of the assoclation. Mr. Phelan spoke at our banquet the other day, but not upon political matters nor anything akin to politics.

The report must have been given circuiation by'the Mayor and his adherents, as it could not possibly come from the assoclation. T hink {t would be impudent in the ex- treme to introduce politics into an or- anization, the main prestige of which s derived’ from business men who de- pend upon It for the furtherance of busi- ness and not political ends. Individually 1 don’'t know what the members have done, but as a body I do know they have not faken any such ridiculous measures to support Mr. Phelan. It seems to me the firm of absurd that even Individually the mem- bers would pledge themselves to any candidate, a8 every man llkes to choose for himselt how and for whom he shall cast his vote. I think the rumor has been circulated by Phelan’'s adherents and not the Merchants’ Assoctation.” The manpger of the firm of Kittle & Co. maintained that the report circulated by Phelan's henchmen was, as far as he knew, untrue and without the least foun- dation. *“'Although I have heard but lit- tle about the rumor that the leading merchants of the city had pledged them- selves to support Phelan, I know, never- theless, that there is not the slightest truth in it.

In June last Keenan and his wife separated, and she applied for a di- vorce. The divorce was not granted, t on Beptember 15 she was granted a e of separation with an allow- ance of $30 per month and the custody of the five children, the oldest a girl of 15. Yesterday about noon Keenan called upon his wite. He begged her to make it up and live with him again. BShe refused, as she plainiy told him she did not love him any more. She had been preparing to go to the dentlst, and wanted him to leave, as she was late. ¥or about an hour Keenan con- tinued to urge her to return tohim,and finally he asked her if she went with any other man. She replied “No,” and he narking, “Well, we can't live apart,” pulled a revolver out of his pocket and fired at her fourtimes. Then he struck her on th orehead with the butt end of the revolver and she fell across the bed. Ehe implored him not to hit her any more and she would g0 back to him, and begged him to give her a drink of water. Keenan brought her a glass of water and lift- ing her head up from the bed poured it down her thfoat. Realizing what he had done he placed the revolver to his right templs and fired, Tut the bullet lodged in the c nly evidence of the marks on his tem- i had by this time been emptied of its cartridges. and pulling his benknife out of his pocket ie stabbed himself flve times in the re- glon of the heart. The blade had to pass through his vest and & striped shirt and two thick undershirts, which prevented it from reaching the heart. The oldest daughter was in the house with two youngest children, and hearing the shots coming from their mother's bedroom she ran out of the house with tire children to the next door neighbor. A telephone mes- sage was sent to the Central Police Station and Sergeant Nash and Police- man Phillips hurried to the house. They found Keenan and his wife stretched out on the bed. The pen- knife was sticking In Keenan’s breast, where he had left it after the fifth thrust. Phillips pulled the knife out and Sergeant Nash summoned the am- bulance and patrol wagon. Mrs. Keenan was conscious, and im- Jlored the sergeant to take her away. She never complained as she be- ing carried down to the ambulance. Keenan pretended that he was dead but while being carried to the patrol wagon he opened his eyes and ‘:u!ked C0000000000000000000000C000000000000000000000000000000 C000000000000000000000C000C0000000000000000000C0000000 PATRICK KEENAN FATALLY SHOOTS HIS WIFE ANNA AND STABS HIMSELF She Was Recently Granted a Decree of Separation and Refused to Live With Him Again. “Where is my hat?” Mrs. Keenan was the first to arrive at the Recelv Hospital and Dr. Hartley, on examining her, found that only one bullet had taken effect, but it would prove fatal.

The rumor is absurd. No man who claims_the right of citizenship would hind himself to support Phelan or any- body else. The men of this organization are independent, and are not catering to political demagogues that they may be appointed to some subordinate office in case the man to whom they pledge them- gelves is elected. There has been no such action taken—there couldn’t be. It would be an imprudent move on the part of the assoclation that would Inevitably drag it down in the community from the high position which it now maintains, to a con- dition of distrust from which it would never recover.

MASKED MEN TRY T0 HOLD UP A TEAMSTER They Threatened to Shoot Him. Bold Crime of Two Men at the Foot of Seventh Street—The Po- *Pull up, you fill you with lead.” Thus spoke two masked men as they seized the horses attached to one of the wagons of the Standard Oll Company at the foot of Beventh street Tuesday even- ing. The threat was hurled at the driver, who was on his way to the works with the receipts of his day’s labor. Realizing that the men meant to rob him, the driver appllied the whip to his team in the hope of circumventing them. The horses, which were belng held by the robbers, dashed madly along the road, dragging the robbers after them. Find- ing that they could not stop the team they relinquished their hold on the horses. The driver, fearing that they would attempt to shoot him, continued to ply his whip upon the horses until the ‘works was reached. The driver hurriedly told his fellow workers of what bad happened and a posse was at once organized to pursue the masked robbers. They quickly repaired to the scene of the attempted hold-up, but were unable to find a trace of the men. Word was sent to police headquarters and several officers were dispatched to assist in rounding up the desperate pair. After a long search one of the pursuers found a slouch hat, which Is supposed to have been dropped by the robbers.

Stricken Down. Violent Illness With Symptoms of Ptomaine Poisoning Followed. An Investigation to Be Made. A serlous case of ptomaine potsoning has developed at the home of Mrs. R. Block, 406 Van Ness avenue. Five per- sons are stricken with serfous {llness and one of the victims may dfe. On Tuesday Mrs. Block and her family partook of some fresh codfish Ilivers. Boon afterward two of her children, Fan- nie, aged 17, and Phililp, aged 7, were taken violently 1{ll, vomiting ‘and com- plalning of severe cramps in their stom- achs. Headache followed quickly and then a high fever. About half an hour later the oldest daughter, Olga, aged 27, was sefzed with the same symptoms. Later two male boarders, named |Frank Draper and Harry Campbell, were §trick- en and all five of the sufferers were soon in bed. Mrs. Block, who had not par- taken of the llver, was the only one who escaped the symptoms. She did not ap- preciate the seriousness of the matter and neglected to call a doctor until yes- terday morning, when she telephoned for Dr. Levin, of Sixth and Mission streets, asking him to come and prescribe. After & few hours of vigorous treatment all of the sufferers except Olga and Fannle showed marked signs of Improvement. The two girls, however, remained very ill and up to last midnight Fannie was still in a critical condition. The doctor stated to Mrs. Block that the worst phase of the llness mlght develop later. Notice of the case was sent to thehealth officer, and it is expected that a thorough investigation will be made to-day fto ns- certaln, if possible, where the livers were purchased and then the point from which the codfish came.

CAME ON THE MARIPOSA | _ | TURNER TO FIT OUT THE AT- LANTIC TRANSPORTS.

Z., Apfa, Samoa and Honolulu, H. I, yesterday morning. The voyage was a very pleasant one, with the | exception of the run between Sydney and | Auckland, where very heavy weather was encountered. The Mariposa would have | beey a great prize for a privateer. She | not only carried a valuable cargo, but | also had in her treasury $3,670,000 in gold. | This was all in English sovereigns, which | will be turned Into good American money | at the Mint here. This is the largest shipment of gold that | has ever come to San Francisco In one | vessel. The Alameda on her last voyage | brought over three millions In sovereigns, | but the Mariposa beats her large consign- | ment by fully haif a million. This sum | does not represent the balance in trade between Australia and this port alone, but also money owing by Kngiish houses to New York merchants. The merchants in Bydney and Melbourne owe money to the merchants in England and the latter oWe money to houses in New York and San Francisco. It is cheaper to send the gold from Sydney than from ndon, the point at which all contracts are set- tied and debts wiped out. Things were quiet in Samoa when the Mariposa left, but no one knew what a day might bring forth. There was in port the English men-of-war Ringdove and Porpoise and the German gunboat Buzzard. Among the passengers by the mail boat trom Honolulu was Dr. H. B. Emmerson. He has been very sick from malarial fe- ver, but is now slowly getting better. Lieutenant Crowell of the Pennsylvania | Regiment that went to Manila also re- turned by the Mariposa. He was able to be about a little during the pass J H. Ging and C. R. Snodake returned from Sydney. They left here on the schooner Bophie Sutherland to search for gold in | the Solomon Group, but the expedition was a failure. The schooner reached port from Samoa some wecks ago, and Ging | and Snodake are the last of the goid | hunters to get back home. ! T rner, émrr‘hu:]rg agent of the | Pacific Coast 'Steamship Company, is back from New York, whither he was | called by the quartermaster general of | the army. His folding bunks have been put in nearly all the transports in use on | this coast. The accommodations in the | Ohto and Indiana are now being torn out and the patent bunks put in. With the old arrangements five, six and even seven men had to sleep abreast, but with the new state of affairs each man will have a separate bunk, which can be folded up and put out of the way when not in use. It was in_connection with these bunks that Mr. Turner was called East. According to the New York Herald, tha ! Government thought so much of Xr. Turner’'s idea that all the transports on | the Atlantic are to be fitted out with it. The Mobile was being got ready for the sccommodation of 2600 troops when he left for home, and the alterations to the Mo~ hawk, Mississipp{, Massachusetts, Minne- waska, Michigan, Roumania, Manitoba | and Obdam were to follow. The chances | are that the prizes captured by Samp- | son’s fleet—Rita, Panama and Martura— | will also be turned into transports and they also will be fitted out wit Francisco article. The transports on tue | Atlantic and the Scandia and Arizona, Nero and Brutus on the Pacific are to be kept in readiness for infantry, cavalry and artillery transportation. The Willscott and Blairmore will soon have their American rig and be ready for sea. The Willscott, it will be remem- bered, was dismasted on her way from Jagnn to Puget Sound, and put in here under a jury rig, while the Blairmore was capsized’in the harbor and her masts had to be cut away before she could be ralsed. Both vessels will be bark rigged after American ideas. The Willscott will be heavily sparred, as she was before her accident, but the Blairmore's lower masts are each six feet shorter, and six feet nas been taken off the length of each yard. There is, therefore, no fear of her ever capsizing again. The Willscott on uer maiden voyage will go from here to Na- naimo, B. C., to load coal for Honolulu, thence to New York with a load of sugar, Charles Olsen, the able boss stevedore of the Oceanic Steamship Company, Is on the sick list. On Tuesday night he su- perintended the coaling of the Australia at the sugar refinery, but yesterday he was unable to be on deck to look out for the Mariposa. It is to be hoped that genial Charley’s illness will be a short one. The transport Zealandia has gone to the sugar refinery to_coal for her next voy- age to Manila. Joseph Seeley and J. G Penfleld, two of the chlef stewards, change places. Mr. Seeley goes back to his ofd Jove, the Australia, and the route on which he'is such a favorite—Honolulu— and Mr. Penfield takes the Zealandia. The order to move the Marion into the stream is being held in abeyance. Yester- day the officers of the Naval Reserve pre- sented such a strong case to the Harbor Commissioners that Assistant Chief Wharfinger Scott was Instructed not to make any move in_the matter until fur- ther notice. Should the training ship be moved away from Howard-street wharf it would be a great setback to the battal- fon, as it would be impossfble to drill the men until the vessel was docked again.
