When she left the house she sald that she was going to meet McGowan and attend the performance at the Orphe- um, and that she would be home early. That was the last her sisters saw of r until they wept over her dead body_in the Morgue, They had never heard her threatén to kill herself, but she used to become despondent at times during atiacks of neuralgia in the head, to which she was subject. Policeman McGowan Kknew nothing of the tragic affair until informed about it by the sisters of his fiancee after the inquest. He denied that he had had any improper relations with Mrs. Reed, and the tears stood in his s when he spoke of the affection which he entertained for her. He had fntended to marry her within a short time, he said, and he was deeply shocked when he heard of her death.

Davis of the Board of Fish Commissioners was in Sausalito yesterday and his attention was called to the fact that the captured junk of the Chinamen had no tag on its stern displaying the number of the license, as is required. He immediately swore out a warrant against the captain of the crew for not having a license. The law reads that when the number of the license is not displayed on each side of the stern of the boat, the license anted by the Fish Commissioners is to be forfeited. There is very little chance of the casn being tried Tuesday, as Attorney Quinn intimated to the court that he would probably want a further continuance at that time. —————— The Labor Council. The San Francisco Labor Council at its meeting last night indorsed the resolu- tions presented by the Typographical Union to the Board of Bupervisors and now in the hands of a committee from the latter body. These resolutions pro- vide that all municipal printing must be done in offices using or entitled to use the label of the Allled Trades Council. The delegate from Carpenters’ Union No. 483 reported that all carpenters’ unions were doing their utmost to obtain new members and that a mass-meetin of unorganized carpenters would be hel in Scottish Hall next Tuesday. The delegate from the Musiclans’ Union reported that the non-union band at the Bteeplechase had been dispensed with and a unjon band will play in its place. On recommendation the council repu- diated the new union known as the Pa- cific Coast Musiclans’ Association. All subordinate unions will be Instruct- ed to appoint committees to agitate for the cigar-makers’ blue label. —_————— Electric Light Company Censured. The Cordner’s jury in the case of Leon C. Starr, the lineman killed last Wednes- day morning by coming Into contact with a live electric wire, rendered the follow- ing verdict yesterday morning: That sald L. C. Starr came to his death through accident, and we severely censure the electric light company for aliowing a live wire to become slack in such a manner as to cross a telephone wire and transmit its power to said telephone wire, thereby endangering the employes of other electric light or tele- phone companies. ———————————— Bupervisors and School Directors for revenue only.

Interesting Details of a Hurried -Marriage With a Fictitious Nobleman and Its Results. As was exclusively published and pre- dicted in The Call of Sunday last, Mrs. Teofl]l de Lawczynskl will to-day, through her attorney, E. F. Bert, file her suit for separation from the fictitious Count who duped her into marriage Just a year ago. The complaint will merely charge the fraudulent nobleman with desertion and faflure to provide; but behind these sim- ple charges is a romance the history of Which has already been told in these col- umns. Lawczynski arrived in this city during the early part of last year, and llved a | hand-to-mouth existence. He assumed the and was known to the music-hall by title of Count, habitues of a downtown that high-sounding appellation. He man- aged to be introduced to Mrs. H. L. Fabry, the complainant, who was the widow of the well-known merchant of that name, who was accidentally asphyxi- ated by gas in August, 1897. He believed her to be possessed of a large sum of money left her and her son by her first | husband, and he paid ardent court and won her. Two weeks after their engage- ment he secured a marriage license and they were united by Judge J. V. Coffey at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. A. von Gerzabek, 605 Steiner street. Within a week after the wedding the impostor managed to secure 8500 and a lot of jewelry from his wi and city for Chicago, where he allege a medical practice. On his arrival in the windy city he visited his wife's relatives and borrowed a few hundred dollars on the jewelry and decamped for Europe, where he now is, practicing similar schemes. Lawczynskl was known throughout the country as a_ cléver faker. It was his plan to simulate suicide in front of a handsome residence, and on being cared for by those who found him he would d he had | work on their sympathies and receive sub- stantial aid to tide him over what he rpi\ Tesented to be temporary distress. He was compelied to flee from the Ci Mexico and Chicago, as his practice be- came notorfous, and he was in danger of arrest. Fhe mother of Mrs, Lawezynski helieves daughter was hypnotized by the scoundrel. and she was instrumental in having the latter take this means of rid- ding herself of a distasteful name and its unworthy owner. THE NEXT PRESIDENT. Joseph Bidwell of Chicago Thinks It Will Be McKinley. Joseph E. Bidwell, Railroad and Ware- house Commissioner of Illinois, arrived in this city yesterday from the southern part of the State with his wife and is a guest at the Ocgidental. He has come here in search of health, and says that he has been much benefited during his two months’ sojourn in Los Angeles. Mr. Bidwell has been a member of the Chicago Council and is a successful poli- ticlan of the windy city. He is a brother of “Dick” Bidwell, the well-known prison keeper at the City Prison. - He has been a delegate to three Ro?'\lhll(‘m’\ National Conventions and is well posted on such Although he is a Reed man, he bellieves that McKinley will be renomi- nated for the Presidency by acclamation at the next convention, and will be elected by an overwhelming majority, es- pecially if Bryan gets the Democratic nomination. _————— BOOKS FOR THE HOME. How Oro Fino Parlor, N. D. G. W., Proposes to Lay the Founda- tion of a Library. Oro Fino Parlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West, has devi build up a library for thé ters’ Home. It has decided to give a gocial at the home, 925 O'Farrell stree:, on next Wednesday evening under the auspices of the board of rellef, and has fixed the price of admission at one bound book for each person who shall attend. There is hardly a Native Daughter or a Native Son who has not one or more bound books that he or she can spare, and such presented as an admission fee ought to make up a library of which the home can feel proud. There will be pre- sented a good programme of entertain- ment. e ——————————————————————————— ADVERTISEMENTS. fLETTER TO MRS, PINKNAM NO. 04,398] “Jam so grateful to you for what Lydia E.
