THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1898. IMPORTANT CLEW T0 THE CORNISH POISONER FOUND Consists of a Tooth- pick Holder. The chain of evidence is now said to be almost complete and the arrest may be made at any moment. Mr. Adams, of Phelps & Adams, this city, made the.following statement yes- terday regarding the toothpick-holder received by Cornish: records, 1 found that we have had in stock an article exactly answering the description of the one sent to Mr. Cor- nish, It is on our records as a bottle- holder, and we have a bill of saleé show- ing that it was sold to Shreve & Co., on December 1, 1897.

LIQUOR AND TOBACCO AS COSILY AS BREAD Scores the Management of the Almshouse. JOSE, ‘Dec. 30.—The Grand Jury, which was organized November 30, with L. A. Sage chairman, reported to Judge Lorigan this morning and was discharged. It makes the startling statement that the amount of money expended for liquors and tobacco at the Almshouse almost equals that paid for bread. Acts of Board Supervisors are also criticiised. Referring to the Almshouse, the report says: “Bills for tobacco and liquors al- most equal amount paid for bread, and we fail to see the necessity for so much liquor being used in a place of this kind. The | cost of maintaining inmates of the institu- | SAN tion {s $9 14 per capita, and owing to the great amount of produce raised the insti- tution should be conducted for = less'| money. The Board of Supervisors have allowed me irregular bills, and the Grand Jury with the matter in this fashion: has come to the knowledge of the claims for labor performed } practices bordering on perjury been pald from funds of the county other than that to which they rightfully belong.

LINCOLN, Nebr., Dec. 30.—A compli- mentary reception and banquet to Col- onel William J. Bryan was tendered to- night by the Nebraska Traveling Men's Club at the Lincoln Hotel. Invita- tions were sent to 250 admirers of Mr. Bryan, which, with few exceptions, | were accepted.

TAMMANY INFLUENCE NO JOKE OTHERWISE MR. SULZER WOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. | With All the Talk, However, There Is Little Danger of Ousting Bailey From Minority Leadership in the House. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—The Washing- ton correspondert of the Herald tele- graphs: Mr. Croker's action in putting Representative Sulzer forward as a candidate for the Democratic leader- ship in the House of Representatives took the Demiocratic Representatives The general tendency in the House has been to regard Mr. Sulzer as some- thing of a joke—not so much so, per- haps, as James Hamilton Lewis, but | still a joke. But Mr. Sulzer, supported by the powerfu! influence of Tammany for party leader, is another matter and must be taken seriously, for few Demo- amuse himself and the House. Some Democrats are inclined to take the mat- ter seriously enough, and indignantly resent the idea of Tammany trying to control the Democratic membership of the House of Representatives. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Bailey, the man whom Mr. Sulzer aspires to succeed, talks more favorably of his candidacy than any other Democratic Representative 1 have seen. When I asked Mr. Bailey to-day - what he thought of Croker’s candidate .for the party leadership in the House he said: “Of course, I would naturally be “You have labored diligently td pre-| vent foreign financiers from disregard- | ing the rights of the American Deuule.‘ now. you are called upon to use your innuence to prevent the American peo- | ple from disregarding the rights at’ others.” Self-restraint is a difficult \u-w tue to practice,.

FATHER PRENDERGAST ACTS BUT FAILS TO GET DESIRED PER- MISSION FROM ROME. Now the Fiancee Must Endeavor to Induce Young Vanderbilt to Embrace Her Religion. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Dec.,30.—The Morning Telegraph says: The marriage of Wil- liam K. Vanderbilt Jr. and Miss Vir- ginia Fair has become the subject of negotiations with the fathers of the Catholic church at Rome. From information received by friends and relatives of the families in this city it is evident that unexpected op- position has been encountered in the original plan of having the wedding ceremony take place jn -a Protestant | church in accordance with the wishes of the bridegroom and his family. Miss Fair is a Roman Catholic. Young Vanderbilt is a Protestant. It is understood that Miss Fair has en- listed the services of her spiritual ad- viser in San Francisco Father John J. Prendergast, vicar general of the arch- diocese, in order to secure the neces- sary dispensation from Rome for her. Dispatches received here yesterdav are to the effect that as a result of Father Prendergast’'s appeal the mat- ter was immediately lald before Car- dinal Parocchi, secretary of the Holy Office. That functionary states that it is impossible for a Roman Catholic church to recognize marriage unless the ceremony: is performed in a Roman Catholic church by a local parish priest or by a priest delegated by him, and in the presence of witnesses. Instructions have been forwarded to Father Prendergast requesting him to use all his endeavors with his spiritual child, Miss Fair, that she may seek be- fore her marriage to induce her future husband to join the Roman Catholic church.
