The lat suggestion was ac- pted. Everybody concerned seems to ve labored under the impression that the deceased was more intoxicated than hurt, and at the coal yard, East Four- teerith street, the elder Saul and La Rue. covered the deceased some coal sacks and allowed him to remain in the Wago all night, removing him yesterday morning to one of the horse stalls, where he breathed his last at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. To these facts young La Rué; J. McDonald and Peter Saul, father of’ dece: d, and Mrs. Jennie Saul testi- fled-at-the inquest. Dr. J, P.

The concussion caused a hemor- rhage on the opposite side, the clot of which extended to the left side of the brain.

Green nl; 623 Santa Clara avenue, is a story with | which the name of another dashing doc- tor of this city is connected. Like all love affajrs, Miss Roebke's seems to have its | romantic side. The young lady’s sister is | responsible for the statement that Dr. Al-| fred Sander once had a warm place in his heart for Miss Amanda, and that because she transferred her affections from him to L e e e e e _..Q,_.«yg“@—o—@o e S S o e e o o | % | | | Dr. Green he used his influence with the | | young medico’'s mother to prejudice her | | against the girl and persuade her to step | in and break up the match. This story, coming on the eve of Dr. Sander's wed- | ding to Miss Ruth Gruenberg, has given the gossips one of the most delectable morsels they have had to roll on their tongues for many a day. Miss Roebke was formerly maid in Dr. Sander’s establishment. Bhe looked after the comfort of his lady patients. | It was while occ\‘:ipylnfi this position that the doctor is said to have discovered | @ warm spot in his heart for the beautiful brunette. It became public property that | | she reciprocated his affections, and all | was “‘as merry as a marriage bell” until| young Jacob S. Green appeared on the | scene. He had just become possessed of | | the idea that he Wanted to study medicine | | and Dr. Sander undertook to Hhelp him | [nlong in his chosen profession by employ- | | ng Bim in his laboratory. 2] | hat was the mistake of the doctor's | life, if he ‘was really serious In his atten- | tions to Miss Roebke. It was the begin-| | ning of the end of whatever bond of af- | | fection that might have existed hetweeni | them. Green laid siege to the heart of the | | maid and the conquest was as easy as Dewey's victory at Manila. Shortly after, | without any ceremony, Dr. Sander dis-| | charged both of his employes and his | | friends noticed that his subsequent ac- | tions resembled those of a man who had | been crogsed in love. Miss Elsie Roebke says the doctor has played the dog in the manger part In the | little romance, and that when he falled to | win the love of her sister he vowed she | would never marry the doctor of _her | choice. She blames Dr. Sander for Mrs. Green'’s opposition to the match, and de- | clares he is *just too mean for anything” to_interfere. When seen to-day Dr. Sander readily ad- mitted that both Miss Amanda Roebke and Dr. Green had been in his employ, but quite natural with a gentleman on the eve of his wedding to another lady he was loth to admit that his feeling for Miss | Rholebke had been other than one of friend- ship. | "E'Vhen she was first engaged in my of- fice,” sald Dr. Sander, ‘she put in most | of her time receiving her young gentle- men friends. She had so many_ callers that I was forced to tell her that she | would have to entertain her acquaint- |'ances some other place and after office hours. Young Green was among her vis- | ftors. I took a fancy:to him and gave | him permission to call whenever he feit | 8o disposed. Later I gave him a xmsm&n | in my laboratory. In a few days I.dfS- | covered that he and Miss Roebke were | so obstreperous in their affections that | they were neglec((n? their work, and I | advised them that if they wished to re- main in my employ they would have to do their bllling and cooing after office hours. I can't say that I was ever in love with the girl or that I felt like commit- ting suicide when young Green won her.” Dr. J. 8. Green recently graduated from ‘the Coopeér Medical. College and has re- ceived the appointment of surgeon of the steamer City of Panama. He 18 now on his way to Acapulco to enter upon the dutles of his new positlon. At his request ‘Miss Roebke did not announce their en- gagement until after he had passed be- vond the Golden Gate on his way south. e reason given was that the young edico was afraid of the wrath of his mother, and wanted to be beyond the reach of a scolding. Mrs: Green denied that her son was engaged and stated that the difference in religion was an impene- trable barrfer between the young people. “Miss Roebke has sought to settle the question by wrmnf to her lover at Aca- pulco, requesting him to telegraph at once confirming the truth of their betrothal. The youn’ lady has been prostrated with ef over the -unpleasant notoriety she as received. A T CHARGES EXTREME CRUELTY. Alameda Seeks a Legal Separation. OAKLAND, Feb. 1L.—The matrimonial differences of Mr. and Mrs. Phil G. May | of Alameda are to be aired in the Supe- | rior Court.

ROWE LEFT THE AD- | VENT CHURCH. An Incident in Episcopalian Circles | That May Figure During the City Cam- paign. Osakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 11 The rector of the Church of the Advent, | Rev. V. Marshall Law, has gone into | politics, and has brought down upon him- self miuch severe criticism. This is the church of which John J. Valentine is senfor warden, and there is some curios- ity being expressed as to whether the rec- tor's utterance in the church magazine has anything to do with the president of the great express corporation. In the Choir and Nave, to be issued to the parishioners to-morrow, appears the following: Don't fall to be in church next Sunday morning, the 12th inst., to hear John J. Valentine, the senlor = warden, on “Im- laa aal SANDER D a2 BRI S e o o St S S oo o % perial Democracy,” {n place of the regular sermon. It is not often that we have an opportunity to hear the senior warden, so be_there at 11 o'clack. The Church of the Advent has an op- portunity to have a Councilman. J. Wal- ter Scott is a candidate on the Independent Republican ticket indorsed by the Demo- cratic convention. His opponent is Mr. Rowe. Mr. Scott Is the fourth on our list of systematic offerings, and has also a pew in the church. Every member of his family is also on the list of systematic offerings, his little daughter being first. If you take any interest in Councilmen remember to vote for Mr. Scott. He has not asked us to mention him, knowing that this little paper does not deal in politics. But for once we break over that rule. Mr. Scott stands for the Seventh Ward. Mr. Bcott’s opponent is Mr. H. D. Rowe, who at present represents the Seventh ‘Ward in the City Council. Mr. Rowe has made a splendid record, and has just been nominated by the Republicans and Mu- nicipal League to succeed himself.

SBALINAS, Feb. 1l.—After thirteen years of persistent searching, the whereabouts of the murderer of Sheriff J. N. Pomber has been discovered, and his apprehension seems certain. Con- stable Joseph Dosh of San Lucas came to this city last week from the south and asked the Supervisors for sixty days’ leave of absence. When this was granted the fact leaked out that he was expecting to leave for a place Kept se- cret to arrest the murderer. On the 19th of May, 1886, the officers here were notified that three English- men—brothers, - named John, Arthur and Walter Draper—while touring Cali- fornia by team and camped near Sole- dad, south of this city, were attacked by unknown persons and two of the brothers wounded. From the story of the Englishmen it seems that late at night they were aroused from sleep by pistol shots fired by the murderous ruffians, who stood in the door of the tent. Two of the campers were wound- ed by the volley. One of the Draper brothers grappled with one of the in- truders, and in addition to the wounds he had already received he was struck on the head with a club or pistol and felled to the ground. The assailants, two in number, then made their es- cape. 3 Arthur and Walter Draper, who were wounded, were brought to Soledad in a wagon, accompanied by John Draper, who was uninjured. Upon examination Walter was found to have been shot inj torlous Eastern desperado and an ex- — Deputy Sherift Manuel Pomber of Cas- troville, Constable Metz and others started in pursuit, going in different directions across the country. Pomber met Constable Dunlap of Watsonville and they concluded to watch the wagon road and the railroad track where they emerged from the hills into Pajaro Val- ley. Pomber had a double-barreled shotgun and Dunlap a pistol. At 8:30 o'clock that night two men they drew near Pomber leveled his gun and ordered them to throw up their hands. The two opened fire on the of- ficers. One shot struck Pomber on the right side of the neck in front, felling him to the ground. Dunlap returned the fire, but without effect, as the two desperadoes scrambled over the fence and were lost to sight in the darkness. The two men were heard of frequent- 1y, but could not be apprehended. Two officers of San Juan, however, captured a man answering the description of one of the pair. He was brought to Salinas and lodged in the County Jail. On pre- liminary examination he gave his name as Lewis Clark. He was held to answer for robbery and for attempt to murder, He pleaded gulilty, but before being sentenced said his name was not Clark. He told of his meeting with his “dark”. companion, who was known to him as John, and of the plot to rob and kill the Drapers. He sald.John had shot Pomber and then disappeared. Judge Alexander sen- tenced Clark to twenty-one years in the State prison. In his statement before the court Clark safd his companion was a no- the heel, thigh and abdomen, and Arthur in the back of the neck, leg and arm. A full description of the ruffians was published at the time, in which one of them was described as of light com- plexion and the other dark. Excitement ran high, and posses were organized to search for the assassins. Nothing was heard of the culprits until May 24, when word was brought to Castroville that they had been seen three or four miles out in the hills toward Watsonville that afternoen. pert pistol shot, and at that time (1886) was wanted in nine different States for crimes of murder and robbery. Time went on and the case had been forgotten by many, but Constable Dosh, a fearless officer, once a deputy Sheriff in Colorado and afterward peace officer in Towa, worked on the slender clew until now he believes he has land- ed his man. Clark's time will expire in 1900, and he will be an important witness in the case. approached from down the track. When | PRUNE GROWERS JOIN' INTERESTS Eighty-One Men Sign the Roll.

SERMONS AND DISCUSSIONS MANY TOPICS CONSIDERED BY THE DELEGATES, An Influx of Members From the Bay Cities Adds to the Enthusi- asm of the Ses- sions. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 11.—The State con- with Rector Law, but his friends, not be- ing in politics, are not so reticent. They | say that not long ago Mr. Rowe and hjs | famlli" were. members of Rev. La church. They quit for good and sufficient reasons. Mr, Law s a .very radical | reacher, and some of his doings have cen spoken of as being *“‘mountebankish” | for a pulpiteer. Mr. Rowe did not appre- clate such doings in an Episcopalian church and withdrew. This is said to ve the reason why the rector has used the church organ to help defeat one of the candidates on the regular Republican ticket. It is believed that the church board should discountenance the action of its pastor. THE NOTE FRANCOEUR HELD IS DISHONORED JURY GIVES MRS. JONES A VEF»—l DIOCT BUT NO DAMAGES. | Fraud and Conspiracy Was Charged | by Defense—Plaintiff Will Ap- | peal to Supreme Court. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 11 After deliberating over four hours the jury in the sensational suit of George H. Francoeur against Mrs. Gertrude K. Jones and her divorced husband, E. Nor- wood Jones, brought in a verdict this aft- ernoon in favor of defendants. The trial occupied eleven days. The . suit, brought for the recovery of $500 claimed on a promissory note, was commenced last May. Since that time the case has been attended with many sensational features. Joseph Hutchinson, brother of Mrs. Jones, acting as her at- torney, had filed an answer in the note suit containing allegations on which Francoeur and H. M. Beatty based pro- ceedings for his disbarment. After a hearing teeming with bitter invectives Hutchinson won out before Judge Hall. Since the beginning of the suit, too, BE. Norwood Jones-has been arrested for for- Fery In the East and Is now serving time n a Tennessee penitentiary. The present suit has been fought bitter- ly.

OAKLAND, Feb. 1l.—It is given. out that it is the intention of the deéfense in the Brandes murder trial to place the accused man on e witness stand in his own defense. This will be done o give Brandes an opportunity of giving s version of the beating described b. rs. M. Godfrey yesterdng;mfl to whlcg numerous others will testify. It will be remembered, perhaps, that immediately after his arrest Brandes stated that his wife had beaten Lillian with a stick. In fact, he denied, at that time, that he had ever handled the girl roughly, vention of the Young Men's Christian Associations was especially interesting to-day. The attendance was larger, and the discussions and papers were lis- tened to attentively. There was an in- flux of members from San Francisco and other bay cities, and these gave an impetus to things. ' The convention has drawn many fine ladies and gentlemen to this city, and they are being royally entertained by the members of the home association. The Bible hour was occupied by Grove F. Ekins of 8San Francisco President D. E. Collins called the con- vention together. After singing W. M. Parsons led in prayer. The minutes of vesterday’s meeting were read and ap- proved. H. W. Stone of Portland, Or., read an interesting paper on “The Busi- ness Management of the Association.” A discussion followed, in which H. J. McCoy and I. C. Crook took part. *“Our College Department and Its Relation to the City Work” was the subject of a paper by John Proll, general secretary of the Stanford Association. A conference under the direction of Reno Hutchinson, general secretary of the University of. California Assocla- tion, took place, in which. Messrs. Mc- Coy, Stone, Papsons, Crook and L. C. Dale participated. E. G. Lefiingwell, formerly general secretary of the Wis- consin State Association, was intro- duced and.made a happy speech. On motion he was made a corresponding. member of the convention. Mrs. E. L. McCracken of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union was presented. She brought greetings from her organiza- tion and gave the convention a bouquet of ‘smilax and violets. She urged the association to make special efforts to save the young men who were rapidly being ruined by the many vices now ex- isting. C. M. Campbell of Sacramento then regd a paper on “Demands of the State Work,” and the subject was fully discussed by the delegates. At the afternoon session the confer- ence on “The Demands of the State Work"” was continued under the direc- tion of W. M. Parsons. The discussion was general, Grove F. EKkins, assistant gecretary of the San Francisco Asso- ciation, read a paper on “Junior Work.” The subject was ably handled and a thorough talk upon it followed. The convention then adjourned to Turn Verein Hall to witness an athletic exhibition by members of the various associations. Dr. E. E. Kelly of San Francisco was to have presented a pa- per on ‘‘Health by Physical Culture,” but word was received that he was unable to attend. The athletes gave a fine exhibition. President G. C. White of the Uni- versity of Southern California delivered an address this evening on “The Coi- lege Young Men's Christian Associa- tion and Its Relation to the Twentieth Century Leadership.” E. W.

Jewell, one of the founders of Pa- cific - Grove, and always a prominent figure in the town's history, a leading light of Methodism on the Pacific Coast, edueationally as well as from the pul- pit standpoint, died at his home in this city at midnight last night, after an ill- ness of two weeks. The immediate vated by other complications, chief among which was a kidney trou- ble from which he had suffered for sev- eral years, Having passed a life of un- ceasing work, his pride being in the fact that he had never allowed himself a day’s vacation, his whole system was undergoing a gradual breakdown that only needed his present illness to pro- “duce collapse. True to his life plan, he did not cease work even upon his sick bed, but between moments of suffering would dictate to his secretary notes to be. used in formulating the coming summer’'s programme of events. Dr. Jewell was born at Floyd, Onei- da County, New York, November 9, 1830. He received his education in the ublic schools and select academies of s native county until his eighteenth year, when he began teaching. After becoming of age he held several minor township offices, during which time he studied law, but never completed his law course, abandoning it after his con- version to Methodism for the study of theology. In 1859 he took charge of his first pastorate at Heuvelton, St. Law- rence: County, N. Y. In 1872 he was {'transferred to the California confer- ence, being appointed to the pastorate of the Howard Street Methodist Epis- copal Church, San Francisco. Since then he has filled the pastorate of the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, San Francisco; First Church, San Jose, twice; Howard Street, San Francisco, twice, and Simpson Memorial, San Francisco (the latter church he found- ed), remaining at each place to the lim- it of the time allowed by the law of his church.

Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Feb. 1.—The Board of Directors of the Union Savings Bank has levied an assessment of $10 a share toward paying the depositors. This was decided upon at a mieeting this after- noon. All the directors, with the ex- ception of President Willlam H. ‘Wright, who is now in the East, were present. The session was a long one, and the bank’s affairs were thoroughly ventilated. The opinion was expressed that a $10 assessment, which would raise $100,000, would be sufficient, with the assets carefully handled, to liqui- date all the claims of depositors. A special meeting of stockholders was called for Tuesday, February 28, at 2 p. m. This meeting would have been called for an earlier date, except that shall be given. At that time, the di- fectors say, it will be decided whether the bank is to go out of business, or, by calling in more capital, continue in ex- istence. Some of the officials think it might be possible to continue business it the stockholders gave their combined support to the movement. nother meetingd of depositors has been called for onday morning at Hale’s Hall.

Snow continued to fall in the vicinity of Leadville, this being the nineteenth . day of the storm, and it snowed gen- erally to-day east of the range. Grav anxiety is expressed for the towns an EVEN THE HORSES WEAR SNOWSHOES camps on the high line of the South ; Park. This division of the road has, been abapdoned since early in the week,” when a supply train, after days of work: behind a rotary snow plow, managed to. take food to Breckinridge, Dickey and. other points between Breckinridge and Kokomo. This supply was too little to. last, and the'situation is growing des- - perate. No attempt will be made to open’ the’ high line until the storm clears and a crust forms on the immense sgnow. banks sufficient to hold thém from sliding ‘down and burying the track, perchance with: death and destruction. - following in their wake. In the meantime the provisions .ob-. tainable have rapidly disappeared.

Engineer Restored by the Wori- derful Rice Method. Campbell" Member of Waseca, Division No. 9, Tells - How He Was Cured. One of the old timers on the C. and N. W., having been in their employ over 20 years, relates some very interesting facts about how he cured himself of rupture by the well-known Rice method. His name is H. A. Read, a member in good standing of Waseca, Division No. 8, B. L. E. 80 what he says for the bene- fit of other raflroad men who are ruptured can be relied upon as truthful and of value. Mr. Read says: ‘I had as bad a rupture as you will run’ across in many months, but the Dr. Rice Truss and Lymphol cured me, It was a hard rupture to hold, as I had to jump on‘and off my engine so often, the spring and _other kinfl of trusses 1 wore Would shift and let the rupture out. But the Rice truss fitted me exactly, and after the first night I wore It I knew it’ would cure me. I went to sleep feeling like a new man as the truss held my rupture, #0 matter what I did or the way I moved about. I never lost one hour from work and as I am a railroad engineer it means considerable to bé laid up with a rupture. I have saved a hundred dollars already in the time I have made up, and I shall always recommend the Rice cure with a grateful illelart." Sincerely, H. A. .READ, Waseca, nn. The Riee method is & perfact fitting truss, the only one known, and a marvelous healing lotion that securely knits and binds the broken .muscles together making the cure complete and permanent. Every ruptured railroader should write !D'PPL W. S, Rice, 418 K Maln street, Adams, N.
