T. Dar- * nal, a telegraph operator, residing with his -parents at 941 Campbell street. Darnal was taken to the Recefving Hospital this evening and placed in the insane ward. To-morrow morning he will be examined by the Lunacy Commissioners, Drs. Selfridge and Tisdale. The unfortunate man is 28 years.of age and he has been an Inveterate eigarette flend, consuming a half dozen packages each day for a long time past, and until he fmagines the walls of his room contaln shelves upon shelves, filled with the little wicked paper covered weeds. Yesterday Dr. Selfridge , was called in to attend the young man, but his services proved useless. At night Darnal arises from his bed and attempts to climb the walls of his bed chamber in the hope of reaching his coveted cigarettes, and after hours of fruitless efforts he would sink exhausted to the floor. His condition to-night is such that there is little doubt that he will be recommended for commitment to an insane asylum.

SHE WAS RECENTLY DIVORCED FROM HIS BROTHER. The Secret of a Suit Filed Last Fall Made Clear by a Recent Trip to the State of Nevada. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 10. The most interesting chronicle in mu- sical and social circles was received to- dav when It became known that the handsome divorcee, Mamie Gutterson, is a wife once more. And to make the incident the lady marrfed the younger brother of the husband from whom she was divorced last fall. A little more than six months ago the Guttersons lived in apparent happiness on Sixteenth street. A. L. Gutterson was a bank offieial in San Francisco and his wife was a very popular singer. urs. Gutter- son's tastes ‘were all musical and she was naturally thrown into’ the company of Fred Gutterson, the younger brother of her husband. Oakland was shocked last August to learn that A. L. Gutterson had brought sult in this county for a divorce. The ut- most secrecy was observeu and the case Some public was not taken into the secret. Mrs. Gutterson and her child moved to San Francisco_and lived out on Sacramento | treet. Fred Gutterson, the younger | brother, is a popular celloist of the Tivoll | Opera-house and lives {n San Francisco. When news was recaived that Mrs. Gut- terson had remarrfed and was stili Mrs. | Gutterson it was supposed that a reunion had been effected and that sne had wed- ded her former husband. Zven this could not have na~n done within ar after the divorce, but there is no such law In Nevada, and to that State Mrs. Gutterson and Ler brother-in- Jaw went. The records show that Fred S. Gutterson was given a license at Reno on | February 25 to wed Mrs Marle Gutter- on, who is several years his senfor. On his return to his duties at the Tivolf | Fred Gutterson told his friends he had | taken unto himsel! a wife, but ~id not | inform ter-in-law.

Alameda Makes a Record for Clandes- tine Matches. ALAMEDA, March 10.—The list of clan- destine weddings that has made Alameda famous lately was augmented to-day by the announcement that Miss Ellie Hip- pen of 1:05 Pacific avenue and Kenry Gardes had defied parental objections and become man and wife.

FOURTH CONTEST UNDER WAY PLAYING FOR THE SIR GEORGE NEWNES TROPHY. At the Close of the First Sitting the ‘Westerners Appear to Have the Battle Well in Hand. Bpeclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 10.—For the fourth time in the history of chess, players of this country contested a match on ten boards against the best recognized players of Great Britain. The seriés of contests is being played for a magnificent trophy presented by Sir George Newnes, presi- dent of the British Chess Club, London. The first match, in 1896, was won by the Americans, but the second and third matches, played in 1897 and 1898, were won by the Britishers. The contest begun to-day was all the more important because another victory for the Britishers would have won for them the trophy. Many metropolitan ex- perts were present in the assembly room of the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where this end of the match was played, under the auspices of the Brooklyn Chess Club. There were at least. 400 persons present. The players were seated on a big platform facing the spectators, and above them were appended ten glant chess boards with movable pleces, and as soon as a move ‘was made either in Brooklyn or at the Hotel Cecil, London, where the match is being played under the auspices of the | British Chess Club, it was repeated on the glant boards to enable the spectators to follow the progress of the game from move to move. The operators and the representatives of the press were placed in a room adjoining the big hall, close to the players. No time was lost in repeat- ing the moves for the press and specta- tors. The pairing was arranged as follows: United States. Great Britain. 1—H. N. Pillsbury..vs..J. H. Blackburn. 2—-J. W. Showaltel H. Atkins. F. Barry T. E. Lawrence. 4—A. B. Hodg! B. M. Jackson. 6—Edward Hymes...vs..D. Y. Mills. 6—H. G. Voight.....vs..Herbert Jacobs. 7—8. P. Johnston...vs..C. D. Locock. §—B. F. Marshall...vs Wainwright. H. Bellingham. 9—C. J. Newman. 5 H. W. Trenchard. 10-D. G. Baird.. The even number players of the Ameri- can team had the first move, and the em that he had married his Si§- | odd numbered players on the British side | also played the white pleces. Play began at 10 o'clock. After a few opening moves were made on all the boards it was ascertained that the open- ing and defenses conducted on all the boards were those as given in the pairing. against Blackburn. The latter tried to force matters by an attack, but Pillsbury was all there, and the positions remained even when the game was adjourned after thirty-two moves. g On’the second table Showalter played a Spanish game against Atkins. The latter selected a variation favored by Steinitz. Eventually the Kentuckian seemed to get the position, and he kept it up to the time of adjournment, when thirty-two moves had been made. Another Ruy Lopez was played on the third_table by Lawrence against Barry. The Bostonian adopted the Berliner de- Pillsbury played a two knights defense | his thirty-third move, the experts present thought he should win to-morrow. Ruy Lopez No. 3 was played on the fourth board. This time the champion of the Manhattan Chess Club, Hodges, tried Spanish tactics against Jackson. The Englishman selected a fianchette de- | fense made famous by Pillsbury. In the course-of subsequent play the Amierican | established a very fine position and when the game was adjourned after twenty-six moves Hodges was put down as a winner 10-mOrrow. Hymes, on the fifth table, had also to | contend against a Logez against the Scotch champlon, Mills. The latter won a pawn and had slightly the better position. An interesting end game is looked for on the resumption of play té-morrow. Thirty- seven moves were made in this game. Jacobs, who played a center counter gambit against Voight, got the worst of the struggle, and a win for the Ameri- can player is anticipated. In this game thirty-three moves were made. On the seventh table still another Ruy Lopez was played between Locock and Johnson. In this game there were many ups and downs. irst one and then the other seemed to have the advantage, and just at the time of adjournment the game was drawn after thirty-one moves. Marshall, the youngest player on the team, the champion of the Brooklyn Chess Club, and one of the most promi- nent players of _the metropolis, opened with his favorite PQ4 against Wainwright on the elghth table. Marshall played a very brilliant game, and although - he weakened at one stage of the contest he managed to come out with a good posi- tion shortly before the ad&uu Thirty-two moves were made game.. Bellingham's Ruy Lopez on the ninth board agalnst Newman Was & SUCCESS. Twenty-elght moves were made on this board. Ol: the tenth table the Spanish game was played by Baird against Trenchard. At first the }irili&her had decidedly the better _position. In the middle-game stage, however, the American played good chess and evened up the position. Thirty-three moves were recorded. Tt will thus be seen that the chanmces for the Americans to win the contest and the trophy are very bright and only a mir- acle seems to be able to save the Brit- jshers from disaster to-morrow. g P ————— A BOY ABSCONDER CAUGHT IN SANTA ROSA OSCAR ANDERSON.

Warrants were sworn out for the arrest of the trio and since then Detectives Egan and T. B. Gibson have ‘been working on: the case. They traced the trio from Pleasanton, where Anderson posted Whittier, Fuller & Co.'s receipt to Nelson, and from there to Sac- ramento, Uklah, Geyserville, Windsor, and finally to Santa’ Rosa. They pur- chased_a road house a few miles out of Santa Rosa and Baker and Peterson came o the city quietly to make arrangements for running it.

SANTA ROSA, March 10.—Oscar Ander- son, a warm young sport, who struck town about three weeks ago with his pockets filled with 20-dollar gold pieces and who since that time has been set- ting quite a hot pace for the amateur | Dbloods of this city, was arrested here this afternoon by Officer Lindley and lodged in the County Jall, charged with embez- zlement. . Anderson, during his spectacular. career in this city, has been known as Edward Stanley, and he blew in on the evening of Washington's birthday in_company with three other kindred spirits, who | registered at the Grand Hotel as L.

HABEAS CORPUS BRINGS TO| LIGHT STRANGE FAC-w. Case of a Woman Who Was Never Tried, et Was Serving a Three Mo :ths’ Sentence for Vagrancy. Mrs. Mary A. Johnson was released from. the County Jall yesterday morning ‘on the order of Judge Murasky, and there- by rests a story past explaining. It is evident that Mrs. Johnson was “railroad- ed” to prison; how is a mystery, but sub- sequent developments may clear this haze away. . Mrs. Johnson is the wife of John A. Johnson, a marble cutter, employed at Holy Cross Cemetery, and the mother of five children. Husband and wife did not live happily together of late, and last De- cember Johnson applied for a divorce, alleging intemperance as a cause of ac- tion. She filed an answer denying the al- legation, and in a cross-complaint charged her husband with extreme cruelty. A few weeks ‘ago Mrs. Johnson was arrested while on her way to her home, 53 Edna street, the officer who arrested her cl ing her with being in icated. She taken to the City Prison and from there to the County Jail to serve a three months’ sentence for vagrancy. No record of Mrs. Johnson having been found gullty of vagrancy appears on the Police Court records, yr; the commitment o bears the signature Judge Conlan admits t the signature on the commitment appears to be genuine, but does not recollect that Mrs. Johnson was eVer trled in his court. Later Judge Conlan discovered that Judge Graham had been sitting in the case in his absence. Such being the facts, Assistant District Soloman, when habeas corpus proceedings on behalf of the prisoner were taken up by Judge Murasky, admitted er- ror and said that no earthly right existed for the woman's commitment. The District_Attorney’s office and C. E. Phillips, Mrs. Johnson's lawyer, will make a _thorough investigation, and in the event of evidence of any ‘crookedness” center- ing on any official there is trouble in store for him. e Money for the Tax Collector. The Finance Committee of the Super- visors, at its meeting yesterday, allowed Tax Collector Edward I. Sheehan $10 with which to conduct his office until the end of the fiscal year ineJune. The latter official has not as yet been able to esti- mate whether ‘the money will pay for all the extra help required to handle the vol- | ml‘im of business that passes through the office.
