The Stanford Student Received Many Letters From a Mysterious Bus- iness Firm of San Francisco. ALAMEDA, Dec. 2—A profound mys- tery still surrounds the disappearance of Adolph Goetz, the Stanford University student, who left the home of his friend, Mrs. A. H. Clark of Sherman street, this city, the evening of October 22 and dropped completely out of sight. He told Mrs. Clark he had a business engagement and that he would return in an hour. Nothing has been heard of him since, and although the police of all the principal citles of the State have been investigating the case they have failed ¢+~ secure the faintest clew as to his whereabouts. The young man’s aunts in the East have taken the matter up and have appealed to the Alameda olucers to renew their ef- forts to find the young man. Mrs. Clark has made a thorough Inves- tigation of the case during the past week, having visited Goetz's rooms and talked with his acquaintances at Palo Alto. She states that the result of wuer researches firmly convinces her that t.e young man was led into a trap by confidence opera- tors and murdered in-order to secure a small amount of money he had accumu- lated. A few days after his disappearance a Turlock Constable reported that a man resembling Goetz had passed through that place en route to Los Angeles. Subse- quent investigation provea that the Tur- lock official was mistaken in his identi- fication. Mrs. Clark pases her theory of foul play on the statemen: of Tom Forbes, a room mate of Goetz at Palo Alto, Forbes id Goetz had been receiving and replying to_numerous mysterious letters from San Francisco. He would not tell his friend tne nature of their contents, but the day before he left the university to visit Mrs. Clark at Alameda he told Forbes that a fine business opening had been offered him, and that the parties who had written him informed him that if he wanted it he must meet their repre- sentative in Alameda the following night. The lady also learned that the same day Goetz withdrew a deposit he had in the Palo Alto Bank and collected numerous small sums of money that were due him. If the student is really the victim of thugs the conspirators timed the Alame- da meeting well. There was a political meeting in this city the evening of Octo- ber 22 and the streets were thronged with strangers, making it an easy matter for confidence men to operate without at- tracting the attention of the police. Since Goetz's disappearance a number of letters for him have accumulated at the Palo Alto Postoffice. His friends be-~ lie they will give some clew as to the terious San Francisco men with TOOK A HUSBAND SECRETLY. Cobbledick, | B. Church, Fast | Ep * the attention she bestowed on Ralph G. friends. Miss Marie Schubert Went for a Buggy Ride “and Became a Bride. AKLAND, Dec. 2.—Opposed in her ambition to become an actress, pretty Marie Schubert secretly became a bride. Miss Schubert is a well-known young lady of East Oakland, gifted with a sweet voice and possessing enough of nature's charms to justify her in thinking she could make a success in the footsteps of Mary Anderson and others of her profession. This idea did not please the young lady’s parents, and neither did they approve Hoyt, a salesman of the firm of Baker . Hamilton of San Francisco. Some months ago the young people met, and from 21l that can be learned, it was a desperate case of love at first sight. Mrs. Schu- Lert did not admire Mr. Hoyt, so she said to-day, sufficiently to welcome him as a son-fn-law, and she endeavored to break off the friendship. Two weeks ago a mutual friend arrived on the scene, and being friendly with the Schubert family, he took Miss Schubert for a drive. later it was discovered that she had met Mr. Hoyt and had been secretly married. Mrs. Schubert made this discovery by looking through the marriage licenses in the newspapers. She was very grieved at her discovery, for Marie is the only daughter. The bride’s father recently returned from Manila, where he had been on the steamer Morgan City, and he Is no more pleased with his daughter’s marriage than is his wife. Mrs. Schubert, in speaking of the affair, says that Mr. Hoyt 11 not the man she would have picked for her daughter's husband, and she fears that her daughter has made a great error. Mr. Hoyt is said to be well connected in San Francisco, where he and his pretty young wife are now living. Despite the parental opposition, he Is the object of congratulations from a host of She did not return, and whom he was corresponding, but the Postmaster refuses to allow an examina- tion of the letters.

Important Witnesses Relate the Events of the Tuesday Be- fore the Murder. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Dec. 2. The cruelty of the treatment and the murder of Lilllan Brandes was most forcibly brought out in the preliminary examination of William A. Brandes to- day in Justice Clift's court. W. J. Richardson, colored cook, was on the stand. He lives in a cottage adjoin- ing the Brandes' residence in Berkeley, and he told of having heard a beating that was going on in the Brandes' home just prior to the alleged murder, and of a child’s voice crving out, “Oh All Al don’t.” Then witness had heard the gruft voice of the prisoner yell, “— — you, if you don’t find that money Il choké tones of a piano and the knocking about of furniture. Witness told also of hav- ing_previously seen Lillidn a whole day in her back yard scraping over the dirt and earth with a stick evidently looking for something lost. Louls Long was the next witness. He too had heard the loud noises, the beat- ing, the sound of a body banging against the' walls. This was on the evening of the Tuesday before the girl's death. The witness also heard the girl cry, “I didn't steal the money.” His attention _had been called to the noise by Mrs. Rich- ardson, who remarked as he passed her house, ust hear that beating at Brande: The witness stated that he heard Brandes playing the plano. Then it ceased and he saw the scuffling of shadows through the lower windows; then the sofind of banging against the walls, followed by silence, and. sub- sequently the plano playing was re- sumed. It is now belleved that the hearing will occupy at least three more days, as eal of expert testimony wili be Left All to His Wife. OAKLAND, Dec. 2—Annie H.

Alfred Chaigneau has retired from the fleld of local journalism. For the last twelve years he has been the owner and editor of Le Franco-Californien, the organ of the French colony of this city. in Tuesday's issue of that paper appeared the farewell of its re- cent editor and manager. A little over a dozen years ago Mr. Chaigneau con- ceived the idea that the French people of this cllg should have the daily news print- ed in their own language, and he was en- couraged to embark on the uncert: sea of metropolitan journalism. His efforts met with success, and this may be at- tributed to the fact that the owner made it a rule never to show any partiality to any of the factions that occasionally develop in the French colony. .bout a year ago an offer was made by a number of Frenchmen to relieve Mr. Chaigneau of some of the responsibility of the property by making the paper a stock company. To this he aireed reserving a goodly part of the stock to himself. A day or so ago he disposed of his share, resolving to take a well-earned vacation. His position as manager will be filled hereafter by A. Goustiaux, The retiring editor said yes- terday: “I came to this State with my parents in 1849, and have always led a very active life in whatever business I have undertaken. For the time I have had charge of the paper I have not been able to take a vacation or participate in any of the pleasures of life, Now that I am free again I propose to kae a tour of the entire State, in which/I have lived long and of which I have seen so little. T°have no plans beyond this, but I expect to start in some business in San Francisco when I come back.” s A A S S MEDALS FOR BRAVERY. Arrangements for the Presentation Exercises Not Yer Com- pleted. Chief Sullivan of the Fire Department is in receipt of a ‘letter from the secretary of the Merchants' Assocla- tion notifying him of the action of the assoclation in deciding to award a gold medal each year to a member of .the de- partment for conspicuous bravery, and that the first medal wonid be ready for presentation at the proposed entertain- ment in the Mechanics’ Pavilion on Janu- ary 1 The Chief has received @ communica- tion from 8. Davis, secretary of the Musi- clans’ Mutual Protective Union, that the board of directors, at a meeting Wednes- day, had decided to offer a volunteer band free of charge for the entertainment at the presentation of the two Scannell medals and the Merchants' Assoclation medal, and adding that “the Musicians' Union feels it an honor to be able to add lflt: little assistance toward the worthy d fitting appreclation of the bravery you. This loud talking was mingled with the | 93,000 quiry is to take an extended scope, and all points bearing upon the subject of better protection a~ainst fire will be con- sidered. All of the fire ordinances will be examined, and if any suggestions can be made for their improvement the board of trustees will be so advised. It is believed that the city has laws enough, but that enforement is lacking. If this be the case efforts will be made to fix the re- sponsibility upon the proper officials and compel them to attend to their duties. According to the statement of one of the officers of the association one of the reatest dangers to the city is the grant- ing of special permits by the Supervisors to people to violate the fire ordinances. One law prohibits the erection of wooden buildings within the fire limits, yet most any one with a *“pull’” can get a special permit to put up all kinds of wooden structures where brick, stone or iron only should be used. The association proposes to handle the matter without gloves and without regard to persons or interests. —_——————— HALE & NORCROSS SUIT. After a Decade of Bitter Litigation It Is Finally Ended. After almost a decade of bitter litiga- tion, the famous case of Fox against the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Company is at an end. Stockholders and attorneys alike declare themselves satisfled with the result of the lengthy litigation -as it now stands, and the threatened last appeal to the Supreme Court has been averted. The Grayson and Fox boards, heretofore at swords’ points, finally decided to agree not to longer disagree, and after an amal- gamation sufficient for all purposes had been effected, the Superfor Court was pe- titioned to modify the decree recently placed on record and declare a dividend of $1 50 a share on 112,000 shares of the capital stock of the company. This would reduce the funds now in the hands of ke- celver Groom $168,000, leaving a balance of $43.270 &5, Yesterday mq ln% Judge Hebbard or- dered a hearlnflo etermine whether or not the proposed modification was satis- factory to all parties in interest, Resolu- tions passed by the Grayson and Fox boards approving the plan and an inde- pendent petition signed by the owners of ,000 ghares of the stock of the company were presented, and at the conclusion of the hearing Judge Hebbard made an_or- der directing the receiver to pay $1 50 a share as above stated. The balance re- maining in the hands of the receiver is to be held subject to the order of the court, such order to be agreed upon by a com- mittee composed of George Ives, Charles E. Paxton and Henry Wadsworth. 'tne final order contains a further allowance "to Receiver Groom, to be paid when his labors are completed. —_——————— MORE BUNKOED BROKERS. Dr. E. L. Parromore of the Health De- partment Cashes His November" ‘Warrant Too Often. Dr. E. L. Parromore, voccination phy- siclan for the Board of Health, is. the very latest City Hall employe to come to grief through his love for the horses. ‘When payday arrived on Thursday four different brokers turned up to collect Par- romore's November salary of $100, and as the vaccinating physician had only one salary coming to him an investigation was started with the result that Parro- more was discovered to have hypothe- cated the same warrant in four different places for the full amount. The brokers who suffered through his double dealing are Boas, Bler and Re- ensburger, who were pinched for $1100 by | %eler Mc’'Glade’s operations; H. Monta- gue and an institution known as the Pa- cific Investment Company. A warrant for Parromore's arrest was applied for, but the complainants were informed that the code did not provide a punishment for such crookedness as he had been guilty of, and as a last resort they sought the young man’'s mother in Berkeley. Mrs. Parromore was bluffed into giving them a mortgage on her prop- erty in that town and the matter was al- lowed tc drop until such time as Parro- more may fail to come up with the monthly installments that he has ar- ranged to pay. —————————— AFTER THE HIGHBINDERS. Lieutenants Price and Esola Raid the Dens of the Hatchetmen. tive Gibson continued their search for highbinders last night, but the former raids by the officers have so frightened the Celestials that hatchetmen are rather scarce. All of the highbinder clubrooms were visited last night and any luckless China- man who happened to ‘be there received a gentle hint that his presence was dis- tasteful. Very few Chinamen were found in the rooms, however. THe furniture in the dens which had not been broken up on previous raids was demolished. The police moved from one meeting place of | the hatchetmen to another in dotble-quick | time in order that those that had en routed might not be able to notify their brothers of the coming of the officers. A dozen places were raided in the course. of a couple of hours. The patrolmen in Lieutenant Price’s posse are: Robert Mor- ton, Thomas Slattery, Peter Chapelle, Stephen Bonner, Hiram Hutchings and W‘g‘llllfllm E?.,mulels.t ¥ Vhile the lieutenants were after the highbinders Sergeant McManus with the regular: Chinatown squad made raids on the clubs. Three of the gambling dens were entered and a dozen Chinamen ars rested for playing fantan. Sufficient evi- dence was secured to insure. their con- viction. C. P.
