THE EXECUTOR IS MISSING PEARSON ESTATE WILL LOSE ABOUT $10,000. Heirs Suspected They Had Been Robbed and the Suspicion Has Now Become a Certainty. The vault in the First National Bank used by John Wolf of the Wolf-Wreden ny, ,who so mysteriously disap- :ared about two months ago, was opened vesterday, and the dust of many weeks was found in the place where the securl- ties and money belonging to the estate of Sarah M. Pearson should be. The wise men and heirs of the Pearson estate then nodded their heads and said, “This ac- counts for the disappearance of the once trusted Wolf.” One morning, about two months ago, Wolf failed to put in an appearance at his office. Neither was he seen around accustomed haunts. Nothing was thought of the matter, however, his associates and friends being of the opinion that he was indisposed or had left the city on a busi- ness trip. The days passed, and then weeks, still no word from 'the missing man. Suspicions of foul play then qce pled the minds of his friends, but th were dispelled when word reached this city that he had been seen in Oregon and later was recognized on the streets of Chicago. The heirs of the Pearson estate, of which Wolf was executor, then thought it about time to commence investigations, Application was made to Judge Troutt for permission to open the vault, but as a contest was entered by the bank the order_was denied. The bank wanted to give Wolf more time within which to put n an appearance. As he did not come back within an agreed time, however, the order was issued by the court, and yes terday the vault was opened in the pres- ence of the bank officlals and Attorney W. J. Tuska, who has been retained by the Teirs of ‘the Pearson estate. Not & document or cent of money was found, and the suspicions of the heirs were con- firmed. Many non-negotiable instruments have been taken, for what purpose is not known, but In any event the estate ls short by reason of Wolf's disappearance, it is said, about $10,000 in money and se- curities. SAN FRANCISCO ELKS HOLD LADIES’ NIGHT A BRILLIANT AUDIENCE AND A FINE PROGRAMME. Charming Entertainment in a Most Tastefully Decorated Hall—Many Professionals Take Part. Never was Elks’ Hall more artistically decorated than last night, on the occa- sion of the second of a series of “Ladies’ nights,” given by San Francisco Lodge No. 3, Benevolent Protecttve Order of Elks, under the direction of the social committee, of which H. S. Manning, the exalted ruler, is chair- man, and Herman Kohn secretary. There was a lavish display of patriotic colors, of flowers and garlands of smilax everywhere, the effect of the arrange- ment being enchanting. In the audience there was a large number of ladies, many of them well known in society. It is the aim of this lodge to draw to its en- tertainments the best class of people, and the gathering last night was an evidence that 6{ is doing exceedingly well in that direcfion. There was a brief address of welcome by the exalted ruler, who introduced Colonel J. R. Howell as the chairman of the evening, who in turn appointed Thomas Dunn, the policeman, not to pre- | serve order, as there was no occasion for | his services in that line, but to collect fines imposed on the members. The pro- gramme was made up of numbers that were of a high order and were well re- ceived. P. Marino favored with a violin solo, Miss M. Ferri gave a recitation, as also did Miss Cecll Haas; Miss Etta But- ler, Mrs. Carrie Dexter and Miss Clara Atkins rendered vocal selections; Dr. W. H. Seiberst amused with some of his spe- cialties, Mrs. S. A. Gunst gave selections on the piano and the Press Club Quartet added to the entertainment by vocfll se- lections. After the theaters the following named professionals contributed the enjc ment of the evening: Ernest Has Miss Gretchen Lyons, Mes: Mathews and Bulger, John Rice, Sallie Cohen, ) and Mrs. E. M. Kovle, Miss Mary Nor- man, Miss Irene Franklin, Leo Cooper, Rhys Thomas, Miss Franks and others from the Baldwin and the Alcazar. J lady who took part in the programme was handed a silver plate in the shape of a visiting card, on which was engraved her name and the words, “With compli- ments of San Francisco Lodge, B. P.

Thursday She Was Cheerful and Full of Hope, but a Complication Arose Which Resulted Fatally. Death, for the third time in two years, has again visited the home of Charles F. Curry. Yesterday at noon his wife, Mrs. Lilly Curry, passed away. A few weeks ago she was stricken down with bron- chial pneumonia, but, notwithstanding the serfousness of the nature of the dis- ease, but little apprehension as to the outcome of the ailment occupied the | minds of her husband and children, as the attending physician expressed his as- surance that a short time would see Mrs. Curry on the road to health. A compli- cation arose without warning, however, and death came within a f hours. Thursday evening the sufferer cheer- ful and full of hope, and those at her bedside expressed the opinion _that the disease was passing away. Yesterday morning Mrs. Curry suddenly became | weaker, the action of her heart irregu- | lar, her breathing laborious. It was ap. parent that a change for the worse had taken place during the night, and the ohysician was immediately summoned. is labors were fruitless, however, and after lingering until about noon in a semi- consclous condition death relieved her. Sorrow was carried into many homes through the death of Mrs. Curry. She was well and widely known, but none will mourn her passing more than the host of deputles in the office of the County Clerk, All knew Mrs. Curry, elther per- sonaliy or through hearing her many friends tell of her graclous manner and her kind and hospitable characteristics. Mrs. Curry was 34 years of age on the first of last March. She was Miss Lilly Seperly, the daughter of one of the most prominent families of Butte County, when She married Mr. Curry. Besides her hus- band she leaves a son and a daughter, and a host of friends whose whole sym. pathy goes out to them in their bereave- ment. On_ August 2, 189, C. M. Curry, father of Charles F. Curry, died in the family ‘wesidence at 317 Oak street. A year later his brother, W. K. Curry, was from the home to the tomb, and vester- day Mrs. Curry succumbed to a’ dread disease. It has left Mr. Curry heart- broken and without ambition, but his friends are with him trying to cheer him and in any way lessen his SOrrow. — e e———— Public Administrator. If honesty, courtesy and efficiency in public office entitle the official to re- election, then Captain Freese’s candi- dacy should result in an easy victory for him.

NO MENTION OF MRS. DEANE GRAND JURY REPORTS TOJUDGE | BELCHER. Trial of the Accused Woman Set for Judge Coox’s Court and Bail Re- fused. The Grand Jury at 6 o'clock last even- ing returned an indictment against Mr: ‘Ll'nrdelia Botkin, charging her with mur- er. The indictment states that on or about August 12, 1898, in the State of Califor- nia, Mrs. Botkin did, with malice afore- thought, kill Elizabeth Dunning by pre- paring certain candles containing polson | “with the intent that the said candies should be eaten by the said Elizabeth Dunning, otherwise known as Mrs. John P. Dunning, and should cause the death of the said Elizabeth Dunning, otherwise | known as Mrs. John P. Dunning.” It is further stated in the indictment that she mailed the package of candies | in San Francisco, and that the same were | dellvered to Elizabeth Dunning in Dover, Delaware, who ate them and died from the effects thereof. The list of witnesses is given as follows: I. W. Lees, Almira Rauoff, Louise L.Seeley, James W. Erwin, John D. Dunnigan, “Oscar A. Forster, Frank 8.

Judge Beicher indorsed the indictment and ordered the trial to be set for Judge Cook’s court. Bail was refused and a bench warrant was issued for Mrs. Bot- in. The Grand Jury then adjourned to meet next Tuesday evening to consider the matter of bringing suits against_ the bondsmen of the School Directors.

Welcomed by Distinguished Men and Beautiful Women and Made an Honorary Member of the Art Institute., Distinguished men and beautiful women met at the Hopkins Institute of Art last evening, to testify their esteem of and pay homage to T. Alexander Harrison, the distinguished artist. Twenty years ago Mr. Harrison was a student at the institute, which yesterday evening put on its gala attire to do him honor. He left a medal pupil to complete his artistic studiés abroad, and returns famous throughout the continent as well as in his native home. Joseph D. Grant, president of the Art Institute, introduced Mr. Harrison last evening, and his greeting was a eulogis- tic recital of the fame the artist had won. At the conclusion of his neat little speech Mr. Grant presented Mr. Harrison with a certificate, making the celebrated artist | an honorary member of the Art Institute. Mr. Harrison's response to his warm greeting was a delicate mingling of pathos and humor. He spoke in tender tones of his old teacher, Virgil Williams, and descanted on the great changes twenty years had wrought in the condition of the city artis- tically as well as commercially. Mr. Har- rison” was followed by Horace Platt and Irving M. Scott, who made brief remarks appropriate to the occasion. ? An_informal reception followed and the several hundred guests assembled found time to admire the many excellent pic- tures on exhibition from the brush of Rollo Peters. Latimer. Keith, Strong, Mrs. Chittenden and Miss Lottie Colby and others. The music under the direction of Henrv Heyman was one of the attractive fea- tures of the evening. —_——— T. F. Bonnet.
