Durrant, mother of the late William Henry Theodore Dur- rant, hanged in January of last year at san Quentin for the murder of Blanche Lamont in Emmanuel Baptist Church, left this city last night on her way to | Europe, where she will remaln several years. The first stage of her journey will terminate next Tuesday at Baltimore. The next day she will take the German Lloyd’s steamer Dresden for Bremen, | from which place she will go to Berlin | to meet her daughter, Eulah Maud Alma Durrant, who has been studying for the past four years at the Royal Academy of | Music in the German capital. [ Since the execution of her son, Mrs. Durrant has been residing quietly with her husband at the family residence, 425 Falr Oaks street, shunning the notoriety | brought upon her and hers by the awful | crimes charged against the son. The | father has been working at his trade of | machine operator in the factory of the Siebe Shoe Company, and the daughter, who was in Europe at the time her | brother was arrested for the Emmanuel Church murders, has been perfecting her- | self in her chosen profession with the ultimate hope of being to make things easy for the latter days of her parents. : Before the fatal noose was slipped over | the head of Theodore Durrant, he gained | a promise from his mother that she would | visit his sister and carry to her his dying word that he was innocent of the hein- | ous crime charged against him. It had | been the intention of Mrs. Durrant to take the trip as soon after the execution | as possible, but one reason and another | Geterred her, the principal one being the fear of the notoriety that would attend her trip If taken while the expiation of the | tragedy was_still fresh in the minds of | the people of the country. Then, again, | her daughter's apprenticeship at the Ber- | lin school was pot up, and vas decided between the two that the best time for the journey would be that which would colncide with the graduation, which takes onth. pl]?dcres.ugfxrr:‘an( was accompanied by her husband last night as far as the Sixteenth street station, Oakland, where a silent farewell was taken.

While rid- ing in Golden Gate Park he lost control of his machine and he crashed into A. L. Reiily, who was coming In an opposite direction, with the result that both cyc- lists were sent to the Park Receiving Hos- pital. The accident accurred shortly after 9 o’clock. Dean was on his way to the Clift House and near the end of the speed track he was unable to manage his silent steed on the down grade. Rellly was diligently pedaling up the il and when he saw Dean flying to meet him he yelled to him and moved to the right. Dean became excited and also velled and in his excite- ment turned to the left, the result being that he collided with great force with Reilly. Both riders were thrown from their” wheels. Reilly managed to rise and limp off, but not before he notified a park policeman. Hospital, and for nearly an hour Drs. Niemeyer and Simon worked over the in- jured man. Shortly after Dean was placed on the operating table he became uncon- scious. The doctors found that their patient had sustained a hemorrhage of the ear and probably a fracture of the skull. His family were notified and a brother removed him to his home in a carriage. It is feared he may die. Reilly escaped with a few lacerations of the hand and face. Both wheels were ruined in the collision. ————e Judgment Against the Fair Executors A mandate from the United States Cir- cuit Court of Appeals was filed in the United States Circuit Court yesterday re- versing the judgment of the Circuit Court in the case of William Irvine against James Angus, T.

The Court of Appeals directs the Circult Court to render judgment upon the admis- sion of the parties contained in the bill of exceptions in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of $11,627 80, with legal interest there- on from May 21, 1884, and $156 costs. —————— New light on Christian Science and its development in next Sunday’s Call.

Flynn is being congratu- lated by his fellow officers that he is not now occupying a slab in the Morgue. A half hour’s struggle with a maniac nearly sent him there. In that short period he was shot at, choked, kicked and heaten‘ on the face by Fred Gilbert of 1822 O'Far- rell street last night, and it took the com- bined efforts of five other officers to sub- due the insane man. The incident created a stir in the neigh- borhood, but none of those who witnessed the lone officer battling with his infuriat- ed prisoner went to his assistance. Gilbert became suddenly insane last evening and drove his aged mother from the house at the point of a pistol. She rushed hatless down (he street in search of assistance and met Officer Flynn. She informed him of the state of affairs and without first calling for assistance the heroic officer boldly entered the house. He found the demented son on the top floor of the house and at onc pacify him. Fearing that the "},o'lfli‘.’néfi was going to injure him the insane man rushed to the bureau, where he had hid- den the pistol, and, pointing it at the offi- cer, deliberately snapped the trigger. For- tunately for Klynn the bullets had been extracted by Gilbert's sister, who feared 25 l;l"l‘lght do Injdurr};‘. The officer closed in s man an en a t :r.;}xed, ; . errible struggle ynn is said to be very powes with all his strength he)cg:xldell;{)‘:l'cgg; with the crazy man. Both struggled out of the dining-room into the fianway down the steps Into the street. During the battle Gilbert kicked, bit and struc the policeman in the face, inflicting cuts and bruises. When in the street Flynn managed to get out his whistle and blew shrill blasts for assistance. Five of his colleagues responded, and it took their united efforts to iron Gilbert's feet and hands and remove him to the O'Farrell street sll\tl:m. e t was later decided to take him Recelving Hospital, and the strugglteovtlgs renewed. Despite the manacles Gilbert fought as only a crazy man can. When the bracelets were removed at the hos- pital Gilbert fought with greater vigor, and twelve men were necessary to place him in the padded cell. ' The attendants at the hospital claim that Gilbert was one of the worst cases they have contended with in their long experience. The mother of the demented man states that her son’s condition was due to over- work. He will in all probability be ex- amined to-day and sent to an asylum or a private sanitarium. mmmErmerTe L R. T.

The Weather Bureau began work on a special wheat service in this State yester- day. Local Forecaster John H. Willson is now in the San Joaquin Valley estab- lishing twelve stations along the line of the Valley road. He will equip the fol- lowing places with rain gauges and maxi- mum thermometers: Elmwood, Merced, Le Grand, Lankershim, Fresno, Reedley, Hanford, Visalia, Tulare, Angiola, Dewey and Bakersfield. | The Valley road is actively co-operating | with the bureau in the inauguration of | this important branch of the service and | has placed its train agents at the places | named at the disposal of the Department | of Agriculture. Specfal wheat bulletins | will be issued daily from June 1 to July 15. Telegraphic reports will be received at the local office concerning the conditions which affect the growth of wheat just | before harvesting, and it will be of in- | calculable benefit to the community to | know the maximum and minimum tem- | perature and the rainfall each day. Head Weather Official McAdie, in dis- cussing the project yesterday, said: “The inauguration of a special wheat service in the valley is part of a plan formulated some time ago by the depart- ment to obtain information from the wheat growing centers of California. In the East the cotton, rice and wheat belts are provided with special services known as the cotton, rice or wheat region serv- ices. The exchanges are chiefly inter- ested in knowing what the conditions are day by day throughout these belts. “It is the intention to operate the serv- | ice during the month of June in particular | when the wheat is ripening, though it may ultimately be run through the ger- | minating period also. We are constantly | besieged for information regarding the | prevailing daily conditions, and the spe- clal service will make it possible to give it intelligently. The thanks of the de- | partment are due to the Valley road for | its aid in the proposed improvement. | “We have added a new symbol to our | weather map, called the ‘thunderstorm.’ | and yesterday used it for the first time in noting two thunderstorms at Kalispel Mont., and Baker City, Idaho. There is considerable rivalry among the bureaus at Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, Min- neapolis and San Francisco for improve- ments on the map service, and we regard this as one of much importance.” | —_———————— | McKenzie Will Sustained. A jury in Judge Troutt's court yester- day sustained the will of the late John G. McKenzie and decedent’s estate, which is valued at about $8500, will be distributed according to the provisions of that testa- ment. By the terms of the will Mrs. Mc- Kenzie was given a life interest in‘a piece of property on Buchanan street and $2000 in cash. The remainder of the estate was | devised to the testator’s children. Mrs. | McKenzie, not wishing to be held to life estate provision, contested the will, al- | leging undue influence on the part of | Joseph A. McKenzie, the eldest son. The | jury held that the allegation was not | founded on fact, however, and sustained the will. ———————— Original Little Beneficencia Publica Co. of San Francisco, Cal.
