The rooms were filthy. Dirt several inches thick covered the floors. In the front room a conglomerated lot of fair- i furniture was stacked up in sorder. The kitchen and bed- room d been entirely striped of fur- niture in order that there might be more room for the carrying on of the spree in which Mrs. Delehanty and her friends were indulging. For two days the children had but little to eat. The sole contents of the family larder were five potatoes, a cup of stove polish and the empty ‘‘growl- er.” Mrs. Driscoll seemed to be the only one of the outfit that had any feeling for the little children. When they were taken from her she mourned their departure, but when told that they would be cared for sne ceased crying and explained to the offi- cers the manner in which they had been treated. The mother, she said, took excellent care of her children when sober. ‘“The rotgut and steam beer get the best of her,” as the old woman stammered out, and that tells the entire story. Fannie Neillan, the woman arrested for vagrancy, and Mary Driscoll, who cared for the children, both claimed that they were hired as servants.

When the officers entered the house and took the inmates in charge Mary Driscoll, the old woman who had been tending the bables, felt ashamed of the appearance of the place. With a broom which had seen considerable service she sought to rid the kitchen of its filth, and only desisted in her effort when advised to do so by the police. The only article of furniture in the entire house which presented a re- @ spectable appearance was the stove. Mrs. Driscoll, it seemed, had taken a special pride in this part of the fur- nishing and had kept it in excellent condition. The children were nearly starved and when taken to the station and given food partook of it ravenousl When the mother saw her offsprings brought into prison she cried, but the police and officers of the FEureka Society & paid little attention to her, thinking & that if she cared so little for her chil- 5 dren that she would let them suffer When she was out of jall she was en- 3 titled to no consideration when under & arrest. % Mr. Wadham will have the children 0 placed in an_institution and will see 3 that the mother is prosecuted. b JOL© QOTOTOTS QOO ol pr called on Grand Re- pond to the toast, “ which he did in g speech.

Wilson, the new Com- Missioner of Internal Revenue, has just | made a ruling which makes a material change in the regulations govering the sales of leaf tobacco. It practically re- several of the rules heretofore | made and will be found much more sat- | isfactory to the trade in California. The | Commissioner says: sting regulations relating to the sile of leaf tobacco by qualified dealers in leaf tobaceo in quantities less than a hogshead, case or bale are hereby modified with re- spect to cigar leaf, which may be purchased by any qualified manufacturer of cigars from any qualified dealer In leaf tobacco in quantities less than the original pack- clustvely. the leaf dealer in his Government’ book. which shall show the date of sale. actual Quantity of tobaces sold. name of purchaser, his business, district and State. No per- mitwill be required for the salé of cigar leaf tobacco as herein authorized. The commer- cial usage of billing the tobacco at the marked instead of the actual weight will be nermitted when the bill of sale also Qiscioses the actual welght of the tobacco at the time of sale. This ruling takes effect from March 16, 1599, the date of its approval by the Sec- retary of the Treasury. Heretofore the the sale of leaf tobacco in this manner, and though the tradé and the local reve- hue office might belleve that the regula- Hons were® overstrict, it was necessary for the protection of the dealers them- selves that they be strictly enforced. The department notified Collector Lynch that the Commissioner's office noted with sat- sfaction that the reiula!lons were being enforced in this distrlct. —ee—————— - Affairs of Marine Firemen. The preliminary examination of Ber- nard Ward, ex-financial secretary of the Marine Fremen's Union, on the charge of embezzling $4000 of the union's funds on March 1, 1897, was commenced before Judge Conlan yesterday afternoon. w. W. Foote appeared as special prosecutor and Frank McGowan represented the de- fendant. A large number of members of | the union were in the courtroom. John Dougherty, the ex-treasurer, who s also charged with embezzlement, was the star witness. He testified to going to the bank with the check accompanied by L Ward, who stood on the opposite side of the street while witness was c&!hlng the check. Witness went over to W and they both went to Ward's _house, where Ward got the $4000. Doufbeny de- clared he never got one cent of it. Dough- erty said it was always the custom the treasurer to draw out the money by g:eck and hand it to the financial secre- ry. In cross-examination he sald that Ward told him the union was about bursting up and he intended to divide the $4000 amo the worthy members and if they woul not accept it he wouls &w the end of Harrison street Wi throw th money into the bay and let them dive for it. He admitted that he was also charged with the embezzlement of $1100, but the receipt Patrick Rogers alleged ~ he had signed for the money would show that he never had signed it. No inducements had been offered m to testify. . This closed the case for the prosecution, and at the request of the defendant’s at- torney a continuance was granted until this morning. TEACHERS WILL RECEVE SOME THEIR DUES Salary Balance for January Ready. WILL BE PAID THIS MORNING MERCHANTS MAY SUE BONDS- MEN OF OLD DIRECTORS. Seek Legal Advice as to-the Respon= sibility of Ex-Auditor Brod- erick and Members of the Board of Education. The Board of Education will disburse $15,00 among the schoolteachers of this city this morning. This represents the major portion of the money held back from January salaries at a time when the finances of the department were in a chaotic condition. At a recent meeting of the directors Chairman “Harry” Hol- brook of the Finance Committee showed the members how a portion of the money retained from the teachers could be made up, hence the pleasant duty of paying the teachers will devolve on Treasurer 1. J. Truman this murm'ng. The warrants were handed Auditor Asa R. Wells Saturday, and his assistants hurried the work on them. They were returned to Secretary Simpson, and with Assistant Secretary Berliner he had them ready for distribution in a short time. Each teacher will receive 15 per cent of the January salary. This leaves a bal- ance of 5 per cent still due. The warrants will be delivered this morning and the Treasurer will honor them at once. In the general settling of the city’s ac- counts at the end of the fiscal year there will be a sharper drawing of the lines marking ‘the responsibility for the pres- ent unsatisfactory condition. Some of the merchants who are creditors of the city through having furnished supplies for the School Department are, already moving | in the matter. Attorneys have been con- | sulted, and it is generally understood that | proceedings will be instituted. The plan | as outlined is to commence suits against | the bondsmen of the members of the last | Board of Education and of ex-Auditor Broderick. They are held to be respon- sible in the premises, the former having and theé latter audited claims in| of the amount allowed under the | elfth act. The bonds for the ma- | jority of these officlals were furnished by a surety company, and the fact that the | Men are no longer in office does not ab- | solve the company from its obligations. The attorneys aré confident the money can be collected, Funeral of Desirello’s Vietim. Nearly every resident of Colma attend- ed the funeral of young James Johnston, which took place vesterday forenoon. A score or more companions and friends of the murdered boy from this city ‘were not deterred by the storm from showing a last mark of respect to his memory and | | also by their presence at the grave to | | evince their sympathy with the bereaved family. The esteem in which the victim of Constable Desirello’s deadly pistol was held was shown by the merchants of Colma, all of whom closed their places of business while the service was being held at St. Ann’s Church. The funeral cortege was the largest ever seen in the town, nearly all the attendants at the church accompanying the body to Holy Cross Cemetery, Father Cooper read the funeral mass and also said a last prayer at the gral\'e for the repose of the dead boy's soul. Mr. and Mrs. Peter Johnston, the grief- stricken parents, and their daughters are very grateful to the people of Colma and to the friends in this city who sent a large number of beautiful floral pieces as {okens of their sympathy. Mrs., Mamie Smith, eldest_ sister of the boy, arrived from Portland yesterday, and the funeral service was delayed until 11 o'clock that she might attend. — e Hunyadi War Not Ended. Under the heading ‘“Hunyadi War Ended" some of the daily papers printed a notice a | ehort time ago that a lawsuit between the | owners of Hunyadi Springs came to an end | th a recent decision.. Information comes from a competent source that a lawsuit be- tween owners of Hunyadi Springs has never been before any court of the United States. It is fmpossible to see how euch a lawsuit could come up at all, because the firm of Andreas Saxlehner of Budapest in the kingdom of Hungary is the sole owner of any “Hunyadi" springs In Hungary. Indeed, this firm of Andreas Saxlehner brought a lawsuit against a certaln New Yark firm, because this New York firm uses on its bottles the Hunyadi name and a label quite similar to the labels of Andreas Saxlehner's original Hunyadi Janos water. This lawsuit i{s pending now before the Supreme Court of the United States in Wash- ington. ADVERTISEMENTS.
