Mrs. Mary Leilah Kirkham Yarde-Bul- ler, better known as Lady Yarde-Buller, whose career and eccentricities have fur- nished columns of sensational material for the newspapers, did not respond in person to the citation ordering her to ap- pear before Judge Hall to-day to show cause why W. B, Greenebaum should not be appointed guardian of her person and income. Once the brilliant daughter of the late General Kirkham, her fondness for the cup that intoxicates has so com- pletely wrecked her mentally and phys- 1cally t she has become utterly in- competent to realize the value of money and has been squandering her income like & mere child. A Mon Chateau, the well known road- resort in Pledmont, has of late ths been her domicile.

She does not realize that her income is not as large as in gone by and before her properties me incumbered with mortgages. Fre- quently she still talks about her large es- tates, when as a matter of fact her entire property outside of Alameda Cou com- ® prises an interest in a house and six acres in England, from which she derives her present_income.

The fillng cf a suit to-day to eject Attorney Harvey S. Brown and to collect arrears in rent caused much surprise, it being generally considered that Judge Brown, who for many vears was chief counsel for the Southern Pacific Company, was a man of vast wealth. A few weeks ago the Ju;.lge's law library figured in a similar sult. Judge Brown Is closely connected with gome of the schemes engineered by the notorious “Brick”” McPherson, and recent- ly appeared as McPherson’s attorney. It was generally supposed that the Judge had himself been a victim to McPherson's wiles, but he denies that he ever lost a cent by the schemer. For a few years Judge Brown has been a speculator, and it would now appear that these ventures have proven financially disastrous. Up to a vear ago the Judge was the heaviest financial supporter of the Oak- Jand Psychic Society, being an ardent ad- mirer of the genlus of Madame Montague, the clever _little spiritualist. Madame Montague did many things that puzzled her friends and her attorneys, but it is not considered likely that she received such support from the Judge as to involve ¢and fowl.

John A. B. Wilson, Mr. ——— of San Francisco and Miss of Los Angeles. O OPPPPS8H068600600 ¢ The above marriage notice in yester- day’s Call, which appears as a puzzle, was | made quite clear by a search in the rec- ords in the County Recorder's office to- | day. The groom is Jacob T. Scholl of San | | Francisco and the bride Miss Christine H. | Whitson of Los Angeles. In his license | Mr. Scholl stated he was twenty-four vears old, while his wife Is just six years | younger. | When they decided to be married a ro- | mantic idea came into their heads. They wanted to be the hero and heroine of a | tugboat marriage, but Scholl has read | so much in the newspapers recently re- | 90090900 POOPOHOS | that he decided to carry out his idea in | an abridged manner. With his sweetheart | he called on Rev. J. A. B. Wilson of San | | Francisco and told him of their desire. | | Miss Whitson had previously come to | Oakland_and_secured the necessary li- | | cense. Dr. Wilson told them that they | | could not be married on that license un- | | less they were within the jurisdiction of | | Alameda county, but otherwise he was Guite willing to unite them on sea or land | or even in a balloon, so long as the wed- | ding was one that could be entered into | | in_good faith by both parties. g | "Being assured that there was nothing | more serious than a romantic notion in the affair, Rev. Wilson boarded the ferry boat Oakland on the 9th inst. and after | passing Goat Island the ceremony began. | i Was ended just before the boat reached | the Oakland slip and was performed so quietly and in a remote corner of the | salon, that the passengers were not aware | of the little incident. The party returned to San Francisco on | the same boat, Mr. and Mrs. Scholl went | to their new home at 155 Blossom street | and made no secret of their little es- capade.

There was one accident during the gorgeous naval parade in honor of Cali- fornia’s returning warriors from Manila last Thursday which, though It attracted but little notice at the time, has been called to the attention of the Governor and may result in an investigation of the Commissioners who have charge of the inspection of hulls and boilers of vessels in San Francisco Bay. The Cecelia, a steam launch, which ac- cording to several prominent people, who were aboard her on Thursday, should have been condemned long ago, if she Is not already ostracized from worthy craft- hood, was chartered by a young 1.08 Angeleno, who had concelved the @lea of turning a few dollars by cruising parties about the bay on the day of the parade. Many who had been unable to secure even standing room on good vessels at any premium had availed themselves of the Cecella’s inducements, and among the passengers that made up the party were M. L. Wurts, the owner of the Wurts block in this city, together with his wife and his sister-in-lnw, Miss Sny- der; Mr. and Mrs. ¥. A. Willilams of 297 Valencia street, San Francisco; Edward E. Barnham, & prominent attorney of Santa Rosa, and his wife, and in brief there were about twenty ladles and gentlemen in all.. The Cecella had hardly left its moorings with its merry party of cruisers aboard when it was discovered that the alleged master mariner in charge was so much under the influence of liquor that he was unable to control the launch, nor would the machinery respond to its duties. Sud- denly the big ferry steamer Newark hove In sight, but not within such TOX~- imity as'to give the party the least alarm. This, however, was shortly changed when Mr. Wurts and others percelved that the captain was directing his craft and its burden of humanity on a bee line for the big steamer, and before the mariner could be convinced of his recklessness | the impending danger became so realistic | that life preservers were promptly put | about the women, who actually _knelt down on the deck and prayed and | screamed to be rescued. Suddenly the ! little craft crashed into the Newark, and to avoid being totally wrecked by the paddle wheels of the big steamer the men folks placed their hands so against the | steamer that the little Jaunch swayed back, when the Newark was brought to | a full stop and the Cecelia party rescued. | The Cecelia had her railing torn away, while her decks and cabin were demol ished, and if she was not condemned be- fore this her present condition precludes all doubts as to her future. Her unworthi ness as a craft and the fact of her navi- | gator’s Intoxication were promptly report- | “when we were followed and approached by two men, who claimed to have come from the inspector’s office. They wished to know whether the matter could not be compromised, and appeared to be very so-| licitous about it. We were in that frame of mind where we concluded that we had | simply done our duty, and any monetary | compromise was way out of the question. On the other hand, the audacity to put the proposition seemed to us so grotesque that we deemed it a further duty to file a copy of our complaint with the Gov- ernor, pointing out that the Commission- ers were derelict in their duties in allow- ing such a craft as the Cecelia to go out, and asking for an investigation.” Attorney Barnham was quite vigorous in his denunciation of the affair, that came so near ending disastrously, and he declares that he will push the matter to an issue. e Destruction of Cervera’s Fleet. Chaplain Walter G. Isaacs, who was on the United States battleship Massachus- etts_during the engagement at Santiago de Cuba, will lecture at the Young Men's Christian Association Auditorium, Mason and Ellis streets, next Thursday evening at 8 o'clock on hley’s Flying Squadron and the Destruction of Cervera's Fleet.” ——e———— ESTABLISHES NEW RECORDS.
