12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1899 MURDERS IS PARTER IN A TRIVIAL ROW Bloody Crime on Lar- kin Street. THE VICTIM S. BRANCOLI HE IS SHOT TWICE BY DANIEL SCATENA. The Police Believe That a Woman Was the Cause of the Tragedy. Statement of the Pris- oner. ers in a fruit store ter the shooting er or knife, he whipped out his pistol and fired three shots at him, two of which took effect. The third bullet passed over his head, and as Scatena again raised the smoking revolver the wounded man ran along kin street, and when near Geary he fell. Several citizens who were assing at the time picked him up and Earried him to the nearest drug store. As he was still breathing, the ambu- lance was sent for, and the unfortunate man was hurriedly driven to the Receiv- ing Hospital. After being placed on the operating table he breathed his last. 'An examination of the body by Assist- ant Police Surgeon Torney showed that one of the bullets had taken effect in the right shoulder, passed down and penetrat- ed the lung. The other pierced the left side, and it is supposed entered the heart. ‘According to the police, the shooting | was due to an-attempt of Scatena to win | the affections of the promised wife' of | Brancoll. Her name,is Blanche Hamilton | and she is employed as a domestic at 62 | Fddy street. She met Brancoll several | months ago and he became infatuated vith her. | [ er & brief courtship she consented to | | become his wite. Frequently, it is claimed, the woman visited the fruit store to see the object of | her aftections. ~Scatena, it is said, also | | fell in love with her, and when his part- | ner learned that he was trylng to sup- plant him in her affections he swore vengeance. A few days ago the men had a quarrel over the woman, which result- ed In Brancoll getting the worst of it. Scatena claims that Brancoli was jealous | of his attentions to the fair Blanche, and | was anxious for a chance to kill him. | When seen shortly after the shooting | Miss Hamilton, who is an attractive | young woman, said she was engaged to | be married to Brancoli. Amid tears she | recounted how she had met him and fell | desperately in love with him. According to her statement, they were to be mar- ried in a short time, the date of which had not been set. She vigorously denied | that she was smitten with the man who | had Killed her intended husband. | | “It is true I frequently visited the fruit | @ NORTHWESTER BRINGS DEEP- WATER SHIPS The Mermaid Makes a Good Catch.

Macy, six (S:}ockfleth on his return from Crescent 08 . 2 Thomas MacIntosh, late mate of the schooner Eureka, did a foolhardy . thing yesterday. He borrowed a small, leaky SKiff from a ‘friend and started out with his wife and five children to visit the battle ship Iowa. Once clear of the wharves the wind and the tide took com- mand of the frail craft and swept 1t down the bay. In a few minutes the woman and children were wet to the skin with| the driving spray, and MacIntosh began to ‘think he had gone on his last cruise Luckily the men on_the British ship Ge eral Roberts heard their cries for as- sistance, and lowering the ship's glg brought them alongside. They were taken aboard and cared for until Tommy Crow- ley, the boatman, came out with the captain, when he took them ashore. The skiff was taken aboard the General Rob- .f erts and MacIntosh will go after it when the bay is calm and there is no danger of swamping. % Diamond Head sailed for Ho- 'd The barl nolulu {mterday with a large cargo and thirty-three head of cattle. On deck she carried a handsome patrol wagon for the police force at Homolulu. The transports Valencla and Portland went from_Harrison street to Folsom street whart yesterday and will at once | begin_loading for Manila. The Cone- | maugh was moved to Harrison street, | where she will be made ready for the load of mules that she is to take to the Philippines. A big gang of men is at work on the steamer Zealandia.

Meredith’s Dismissal Expected To-Day. Collector Jackson said yesterday that the letter sent from Washington last y or Frid ordering the dismis- hinese B au Chief Meredith of sal CEREAL. POSTUM Professor George Dawson, Instructor of Boxing, Chicago Athletic Ass'n Says:— “I- almost invariably find the first thing which I have to, ask a new pupil to do, is to leave off coffee. For an ex- ercise that requires the endurance that boxing does, it is about the worst thing a man can drink as it makes him short winded. Many of my pupils use the Postum Cereal and are very much ben- efited by it. It seems to make them stronger and gives them greater en- durance.” 1f coffee is an Injury to the healthy, gtrong, athletic, how much more must it impair the system of the ordinary individual. If Postum Cereal Food Coffee ‘makes the healthy athlete stronger and gives him greater endurance, would it not be a benefit to you? Postum can be assimilated by the weakest stomach. It bujlds flesh, mus- cle and strength. Try it Grocers sell it had not yet arrived, but that he expected it to-day. He had no idea as to the iden- tity of Meredith’s successor, but he in- | clined to the belief that the appointment lay with himselt. Bersons who have watched bureau mat- ters closely during the past two years believe the Collector has no foundation for his belief, and that a man will be| sent_from Washington to take charge of | the bureau, or that some man from San | Prancisco will be appointed by the Sec- | retary of the Treasury. | They instance the appointment of Dr. Gardiner as Chinese Inspector by the | Secretary, and the fact that both Mere- | dith and Jackson regard Gardiner with | unfriendly eyes. The elevation of Dr. | | Gardiner from the position of interpreter to that of inspector was made in antag- onism to the wishes of Jackson, Mere- dith and the majority of the Chinese landing lawyers who are never tired of singing the psalm, “Laus Meredithl.” It is argued that if the Secretary of the Treasury went so far as to take out of the Collector’s hands the appointment of a subordinate in the bureau it is reason- able to infer that the same method will hl’(l‘l );ursued in the appointment of the chief. Dr. Gardiner says he is not a candi- date for the position, and would not ac- | cept it even if it were tendered him. He prefers to remain on the outside to watc the coolie brokers and slave importers and thwart their nefarious plans. In the meantime the coolie brokers are planuing an attack upon the doctor. hey are preparing to accuse him of dishonesty, bribe taking and other offenses, just as they did in Tacoma when the doctor clev- erly succeeded in exposing the conspiracy | anld confounding the bribers and the ras- cals. Dr. Gardiner 18 a thorn in the side of the perjured scoundrels and their white allies who deal in Chinese slaves. The | Government owes to him and to Inspec- | tor Lynch the exposure of many irregu- larities indicating corruption during the administration of Chief Meredith. Until they shall have been removed, the way of the coolie brokers and the white crim- inals in their employment will be diffi- cult indeed. —_———— J. J. Coffey Disbarred. John J. Coffey, commonly called “Black Jack” by the lawyers of this city, will | have to hunt up another means of mak- ing a living, for the Supreme Court has revoked his license to practice the legal profession .hereafter. The charge upon which he was disbarred was_ extortion. Coffey swore out a warrant for the ar- rest of 2 man and instead of- having the police serve the document and arrest the accused, Coffey told the man that unless he paid'a certain sum of. money the war- | rant would be served. The intended vie- | tim declined to be blackmailed in such a manner and was arrested. At the trial the facts eame to light and finaily result- ed in Coffey being obliged to take down his shingle. — | A Neglectful Parent. Three small boys, sons of Walter Birch, Potrero avenue, were convicted by act- ing Police Judge Barry yesterday of stealing a lot of brass pipe from the Chemical Works at Utah and Alameda streets and were sent to the Boys' and Girls' Ald Society. The boys testified that their father did not take care of them and even refused to feed and clothe them, and a warrant was issued for the arrest of the father on the charge of failure to provide. Yet Sen, who keeps a Chinese junk store on Sixth street, near Brannan, was also arrested yesterday by Policeman O'Dea on the charge of re- J Selving stolen gglods. as the boys sald &hey sold the stolen brass pipe to him. + @ *+ £ T > 8¢ | | 4 | 4 ¢ 3 ‘ B O O O O I o R a SRCER SR ter in the hands of his attorneys, and he astrict, and in Chinatown, who are infringing | on our firm name.

A. Gunst, has no trouble in keeping his brother Silas in two fat jobs. One of these is in the Justice Clerk’s office, which, being a municipal billet, of course, gives him ample liberty to hold down the second position, his main duty being to draw his salary of $100 a. month from the City Treasurer. The second position, sporting proclivities of the Gunst Commissioner, and demands at least four hours of his time a day in marking tickets for one of the bookmakers at the local race- tracks.

The latest incident that has attracted atten- tion to the Chispa, and Incidentally the attention of the police to Dave McEntyre, who until last Saturday had charge of the yacht, happened at Benicia, much to the regret 'of the liquor dealers, grocery men Land livery stable proprietors of the lit- tle town. Commodore Gutte has been extremely unfortunate in his selection of men to handle his yacht. When he hired McEn- tyre two month ago he thought he had discovered a model boatman. But the commodore was doomed to disappoint- ment, for McEntyre developed into the slickest confidence operator who ever at- tempted to sell a gold brick. During the early part of last week Mc- Entyre suggested to the commodore that it-would be a good idea to send the Chispa to Turner's Iglyud, off-Benicia, to be thoroughly overhauled. The yacht need- ed a little trimming, so Mr. Gutte placed McEntyre in charge of the yacht and sent her up to the burg. As goon as the Chispa arrived off Beni- | cia the people of that town flocked to the McEntyre. wharf to see the trim craft, whose decks and cabins reek with the history of two trfifedles. cEntyre was not slow in {olng ashore, where he introduced himself as the new captain of the Chispa. He carried with him a buckskin bag that fairly bulged with coin. Not coin bearing the good old stamp of Uncle Sam's mints, but souve- nir pieces from all nations on the face of the earth, which Commodore Gutte had spent years in collecting. McEntyre ‘watked into the store of a liquor merchant with his sack of coin, and introducing himself as the captain of the Chispa, asked leave to stow the bag in the mer- chant's safe. The merchant thought the bag contained thousands of dollars, and he advised McEntyre to deposit it in the bank.. The latter left the store and pre- tended to go to the bank and deposit the bafi' He returned a few minutes later and told the merchant that if he would meet city prices he (McEntyre) would give him a_large order. The merchant rubbed his. hands in glee as he informed the smooth pretender that he would un- dersell the city dealers. McEntyre then gave him an order for chhmra.rne. liquor and cigars that amounted {o $263. ql’he 0ods were sent to the Chispa, and Mc- ntyre told the merchant to wait a few days and Mr. Gutte would be in town to settle with him. . McEntyre invited a large number of townspeople to visit the yacht to partake of his hospitality. Wine flowed like wa- ter, and McEntyre was voted the best captain on the bay. Every night the lit- tle circle which McEntyre had gathered around him visited the yacht and morning found them lying stupidly drunk on the decks and cabin floors of the Chispa. In the daytime McEntyre took his favorites out driving. He taught the livery stable men how to write his name, and in a few days succeeded in running a bill of $1 and several horses to death. On Saturday last the.merchants who had furnished'McEntyre with everything he desired became Suspicious and they telephoned to Commodore Gutte’s office in this city. McEntyre got wind of this and decided to leave town. He packed several cases of champagne into a wagon, took it over to Port Costa, where he sold them to a saloon-keeper for $50. He then continued up the road, and it is not likely that he will ever return to Btex;,l]cla unless brought back by the Con- stable. McEntyre relieved Commodore Gutte of several valuable trinkets which he aiways kept aboard the yacht, and when seen last night the Commodore stated that he ‘would report his loss to Chief Lees. The commodore is convinced that a ‘“hoodoo’” flits about the Chlsg , and he is looking for a man to take charge of her who has the n‘a,gutnlon of being a spook exter- 4 404040040404 04040004049 +0+04+0 40+ D040+ 0+ 04 04040 SULLIVAN AND JAKE KILRAIN AT BLANKEN'S The Heavy-Weights Visited Lavigne. JOHN LWATCH.EDTHE BAG FLY SURPRISED AT THE “KID'S’ SPEED AND POWER. The Ex-Champion Said That the Com- ing Battle Would Be a Corker, and Then Demolished a Sack of Clams. John L. Sullivan and his old-time oppo- nent, Jake Kilrain, visited George (“Kid") Lavigne at his training station, the Six- mile House, yesterday. Sullivan is of the.opinion that Lavigne is the greatest little man of his inches in the world, and when he saw him smash the bag and fling his athletic trainer, Arthur Walker, around the mat as if he was a bantam, the big fellow sald: “Well, I can’t see what those al- leged sporting oracles in the East can be thinking of when they state in. the papers they write for that the ‘Kid’ is a ‘dead one’ and can’t punch any more. I would like to be the editor of a paper and have one of my. employes write up a story to the effect that the ‘Kid’ was a ‘dead 'un.’ Well, do vou know what I would do with that fellow? Biff! bang! git! Sporting editors? Well, there are any number of them who cannot tell the difference - between a cross-counter and an upper-cut. “I like .this .youngster, and I like Smith, too, but I somehow fancy this chap. They are both great fighters. I wish I was here to see the scrap. The people of this town will wait many years before they will again see anything like it. Srith is a terror, and so is this boy. Well, darn me, if I know what to think of the go. All I can say is ‘may the best man win.’ " Sullivan gave Lavigne a few pointers in light dumbbell exercise, which the “Kid” highly appreciated, and one or two moves.dn pulley exercises which the cham- jon of the London prize ring also taught En.\'ifine In a very short time brought a e a smile of appreciation from the champion | light-welght pugllist. Kilrain had scen Lavigne at exercise | for the first time yesterday and pro- nounced him as being a phenomenal. “If there is anything of the ‘has been’ about that fellow I must confess that my knowledge of the game,” remarked Jake, “amounts to very little, although T've. had many years of experience in the same old school, and I guess I can tell when I sce him: punch the bag whether he is still in it or out of. it. Any man with half an_eye can tell in a jiffy after seeing the ‘Kid" go the rounds with ‘Wild Rush of Diamond Miners. A wild rash of excited miners is reported at Nullagine, Western Australia, where dia- monds have been discovered in large quan- titles, and it Is feared that many will lose their lives in the mad struggle for riches.
