JULIA BACON’S RICHES GO TO HER CHILDREN Oakland Office,San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Aug. 28. The will of Julia A. Bacon, widow of the late Henry D. Bacon, who died here last Tuesday, was flled to-day by Donald Y. Campbell, who, with Robert Louis Cole- man, a nephew, is named as a possible executor. The instrument is dated September 30, | 1898, and witnessed by Mary C. Heath of Sacramento and J. C. S. Akerly of this city. 'lyhe estate, valued at probably a half million dollars, is disposed of as follows: To Frank Page Bacon, a son, $1000 in gold coin; to Ella Etta B. Soule, a daughter, the Venetian urns, special gifts from tes- tatri hushand, a _transparency called “A Young Lady of Frascati,” a painting of testatrix’s mother on porcelain and other paintings; to Carrie J.

His motion was seconded by Holland and th to carried with only a couple of dissenting votes. Then he called up his motion for reconsideration, and no debate ensuing Clerk Ru 11 opened up with the roll_call. Algeltin Attridge, Black and BYing- ton all voted to reconsider and the vots was up to Coluns when it struck Mayor Phelan that thesboard had decided not to break through the limiwafter all and see- ing a clever bit of Democratic politics be- ing voted out of his hands he immediately i ipted the roll. The members of this board do not seem to know what they are voting for,” ex- claimed he, and then he hastily attempt- ed to explain the motion. Supervisor | Pe + jumped to_his feet and demanded the rolleall proceed from Collins on, and said that Mayor Phelan had no right to interrupt a roilcall for political or any her purpos: The Mayor murmured | his customary excuses and ordered the rollcall to proceed, and the motion was carried by a vote of § to 4. Then Perrault moved to lay the original motion to re- consider on the table, and that motion ilso was carried, Aigeltinger, Attridge and Collins voting no. With this last indorsement of the dollar limit Supervisor D Sixth-street sewer hopes went a glimmering. Tt w order to have the street fund increas ),000 for vote-making purposes south o th et that he made the original ion to bolt the pledge and the main- | mo nance of the levy knocked that game in the head, The board, however, was not uncharitable and offered him consola- tion in shape of a gold brick resolu- tion which provided that the Street De- partment fund be increased $10,000 to be | used for the ing the Sixth-street sewer. It was point- ed out that as the tax levy question had been disposed of that action could pot be taken, so the board adopted only the last two paragraphs of the resolution, which read as follo: ved, That the City Engineer is hereby 1 to make all necessary examination the Superintendent of Streets the sewer In Sixth street, between and ¢ ting sewers heretofore ordered. reets mpowered and required to make provision for re- rs, to abate the nuisance truction t the S it questioned that Auditor Wells would audit bills for the work if they ex- specific purpose of repair- | | ceeded the one-twelfth act, and moved that he be called in consultation. When asked he said he would strain a point in vor of the Sixth-street sewer, as he | considered the imgrovement a matter of | emergency and one demanded by the whole people in the district affected.

The resolution further ~provided that Bateman Bros. should be fined $3000 as a Ity for non-fulfillment of their_con- tract, and that the building shall be completed by the city out of funds as vet unpaid to the contractors. The resoluion was adopted, Black and Phelps voting no. As Bateman Bros. acknowiedge they cannot_finish their work by the appointed date, the Hall of Justice will be taken into the hands of the city on September Although the tax levy had been dis jsed of, President Bergerot of the Board of BEducation, with two_ black- boards, and Superintendent Webster broke in at this point to argue for a larger appropriation for h H Bros. | by several misstatements of considerable | magnitude, which he offered the board as solid fact. He said in opening that the \verage v of the school teacher in San Francisco was $§5 per month, and in doing so he ignored the fact that the | books of his department show that the \ge salary is $i8 per month with a ave | fouple of months' vacation thrown in. He id also that the last Legislature pa aw which provided that a teache fund should be created nd that mount expended for teachers’ sal- aries during one year should be the figure upon which the fund of the succeedin VPar should be based. Mr. Bergerot said that this amount this year should be | $1,088,640, but he neglected to say that in | that 'figure he had not only " included achers' salaries but janitors’ pay, office and shop salaries and rents as well, all of which the law of the ?ast Legislature did not take into consideration nor pro- vide for. | "Mr. Bergerot also sald that the same law provided that if the Supervisors should not establish such a fund and fix this figure, specified, the Auditor him- self should add it to the tax levy. He told the me thing to Auditor Wells earlier in the afternoon, and Mr. Wells Smilingly denied the constitutionality of the alieged law and declared his intention of ignoring it. The Auditor said that in ing the teachers’ fund the Legisla- stablishing a class of preferred nst the School Department, ditors that the constitution did not acknowl- c ag: and edge such a cl. He further said that no law in the land gave him the power to in any way alter the tax levy as fixed by i{hé Supervisors, and that until there was a law he would not do so. Despite the Auditor's decision Mr. Bergerot handed all of these points out to the board in support of his effort to break into the limit, and when he had rfnished Mayor Phelan came to his support with the statement that he had discovered that in presenting the figures upon which the board had fixed the School Department appropriation he had been guilty of a mis- calculation. He asked permission of the board to present another estimate, and Supervisor Perrault got up to say that on behalf of the board he would agree to adopt any figures the Mayor might sug- Best. ¥ hy do you not move to adopt any_tax levy I may suggest?”’ asked Mayor Phe- la 1 make that motion,” promptly retort- ed Perrault, but when it came to a vote no one cared to take the chance, and the motion failed of adoption. Supervisor Black’s resolution to repeal the anti-pool selling order next came up, and, as was stated would be the case in yesterday morning’s Call, further action upon it was indefinitely postponed. Adjournment was taken after the unan- imous adoption of the following patriotic resolution, which was presented by Super- visor Holland: Whereas, Join W.

At his death she and their two children inherited a large fortune. She | afterward married James Danfells and went to London to reside. She was there seven years whén tales of domestic strife | became whispered about. Early last spring Mrs. Daniells returned to San Francisco | and stayed .at the Palace Hotel until a few months ago, when she took up her | residence at the Hotel Rafael. Many tales Were told of her separation from her hus- | band, one being that the relatives of hoth partles were dissatisfied with the mar- | riage, and another being that the wife of the Rev. Dr. Hemphill, the children’s ma- ternal grandmother, discovered that Dan- | jells had squandered his wife's inherit-| ance and was using that of her grand- | children, a condition of affairs which | caused her to have the children brought back here. | TLast Saturday Daniells came to San Ra- fael and found that his wife was in San!

In her deposition, which has just been taken, Miss Hodge told Mr. Nicholl's attorney, A. J. Mhoon, of all her prepa- rations for her marriage. The hat was ordered in Oakland, the tailor-made dress was created in San Francisco, and many other articles were procured in various places as the lady happened to see them when completing her wedding outfit. The rides she took with her aged lover also occupied g larie part of Miss H{)dge's time while giving her deposition. 1t was during one of these rides that Mr. Nicholl | ventured to put his arm around the lady’s waist and to murmur sweet words, which have since laid the basis for this inter- esting damage sujt. December 10 of last vear was a very interesting time in Miss Hodge's life. On that day she was at home with her aunt when Mr. Nicholl drove to the house. In a spirit of fun Miss Hodge said to her. aun Why don't vou go driving with Mr. Nicholl?” which the aunt replied: “Go on, vou silly thing. You know he has com and put on your Wr; . and put on your wraps,” said Mr. Nicholl. Then followed the ride, can be learned the very interesting cere- mony of poppi.g the question was re- peated. Attorney Mhoon was very anxious to obtain from the lady her Opinion as to what this attention on the p of Mr. Nicholl might mean, his attentions being apparently to make it appear that the relationship was more like that of father and child than of lovers. The lady quick- Iy disabused the attorney’s mind, and left pression as to how she interpreted Mr. Nicholl's attitude and words. 3 Mr. Nicholl wrote to Miss Hodge quite a long letter, and it contains evidence that there was a promise of marriage and that it had a string to it. “You remembe) that we not object to having a new mamma. Now they have objected, and of course, as you say, the marriage is all off, and I hope | ions will be the same as our friendly rel they ever wer Since the suit commenced a minister has entered on the scene. Rev. Dr. Curry of the Temescal Presbyterian Church, who used to be the pastor of a churc merly attended by the Nicholl called on Miss Hodge to make a pastoral visit. Mr. Nicholl in | | | | | | from al | striker and Wales and from all that | @ oung Jackson to accompany his mother | Miss Hodge was rather surprised | and does not quite understand why a min- | ister who is not her pastor should come to talk to her about her love affair. Dr. Curry expatiated to Miss Hodge about the bHeautiful spirit shown by the Savior when he forgave his enemies and how noble it was to forgive our enemies. He referred to the trouble “in the family"” whicnh had been brought about, as he in- timated, by Miss Hodge. When he got thus far the lady took issue with her reverend visitor and told him that she had no enemies; that Mr. Nicholl and his daughters had never asked her to forgive them, and wound up by telling Rev. Dr. Curry that the Nicholl fami about all the trouble by denying her en- gagement with John Nicholl and by rush- ing after the reporters and giving the de- tafls of the incident In the newspapers. Miss Hodge says that she supposed Dr. Curry called on her in a religious wa there was also another motive to his visit. She declares, however, that she resented the Interferences of any third party ex- cept attorneys between her and Mr. Nicholl and that the minister went away without obtaining from her any inside crets relating to her dealings with Mr. Nicholl. Miss Jane Hodge is very anxious the trial to be commenced. She says would not have brought such action ex- cept for the purpose of establishing her character. Several times hints have been thrown out, she declares, by the Nicholl family that she is somewhat of an ad- venturess or else losing her reason. These insinuations she indignantly resents and for e had brought | refers to the fact that she has beenknown | to the Nicholl family for forty years and that therefore there can be no foundation for the suggestion that she is either a schemer or crazy. The &‘om{ulomd deposition will be read over by Miss Hodge and signed next Wednesday. T Miss Felton Elected.

ARYSVILLE, Aug. 28.—A stranger who registered at the Goiden Eagle Hotel on Saturday evening as Harvey Breaze died in_his room last night from the ef- fects of a large dose of morphine taken with suicidal intent. To.the druggist who sold him the poison he represented that it was for a man named John Lapp. De- ceased spoke with a French accent, and his age is about 60 years.

Robbed at birth of his pdwers of speech and hearing and now bereft of his reason through overwork at the San Leandro cannery, Lon Ben Jackson, aged 24 years, may spend the rest of his days in an In- sane asylum. His case is one of the saddest that has been brought to the Receiving Hospital in many a day, and his examination before the Lunacy Commissioners has been set for to-morrow morning. Young Jackson has been residing with his mother at Seminary Park. His father, D. Jackson, is the owner of the old Half- way House on the County road, and is at present. Lately young Jackson has been working at the cannery in San Le- andro and it is supposed that the irksome labors deranged his mind. He began showing symptoms of a falling mind iast Saturday and these grew more pro-| nounced yesterday and to-day, until he| lost all control of himself. Last night he | arose in his nightclothes and climbed up | to a windmill to stop it. In his vagaries of fright over imagined impend dan- gers he grabbed his aged mother this morning and refused to let go. Neighbors were summoned, but all attempts to ic's grasp proved futile.

Abe Leach, a shingler, fell from the roof | of the Newland House this morning and was killed. In his fall he struck the edge of the roof of a building lower than the one on which he was working and was, undoubtedly fatally injured before he reached the ground. With another carpenter named Morgan Leach was working on the roof of the| Newland House at Seventh and Washing- ton streets. He was carrying a bundle of shingles and failed to notice the tele-| phone wires attached to the roof at the | very edge of the building. His foot caught in the wire, he t his balance and fell. His head struck the metal cov- ering of the roof beneath and this de- flected his fall, throwing his legs through a window of the saloon beneath as he turned over in reaching the sidewalk. John Morgan was the only witness to his companion’s death. He said Leach was just four feet away from him, carry- ing a bundie of shingles from the top of the ladder to the place where he (Leach) was at work. Morgan turned around just | in time to see Leach’s foot caught by the wire, and a second later he heard him | striking below. He says the man uttered l no sound and that the accident was all over in an instant. Contractor Dowling was working with | the men on the roof and had just spoken | to Leach. A moment later he heard a crash, and on looking around missed the shingler, when Morgan exclaimed, “'He is Contractor Dowling says Leach one." fiz\(l worked for him for twenty years and vas a very good workman. About ten ears ago his wife lost her reason and | attempted to murder him. She is now in | an asylum, and Leach was frequently Very melancholy over her misfortune. | The dead man has no relatives so far | as known and his remains were taken to the Morgue. —_——e—————— SAYS SON IS UNFIT TO BE A GUARDIAN Charles Krytser's Mother Opposes His Appointment to Care for His Father. OAKLAND, Aug. 28.—FElizabeth Kryt- ser to-cay entered vigorous objections to the granting of the petition of her son, Charles J. Krytser, wherein the latter | asks to be appomnted guardian of the per- | Son and estate of his father, John Kryt- | M.Mrs. Krytser denies that the mind of her | husband has become impaired from the | effects of ill health or at all, or that he | has ever been incapable of, taking care of | himself. She denies also that the son is the only relative residing in this county, | b avers that she herself had been tem- Dorarily absent from her home, 1202 shih street, visiting relatives in fowa. | gr‘\'; declares that the son is not a fit and | proper person to be appointed guardian, | and that his sole purpose in_ filing the | Detition is to obtain possession for his own use and benefit of the father’s property. Hence she asks the petition be denied. A lively contest is expected when the matter comes up for hearing, since the son claims his purpose to be to recover valuable property his father deeded to the mother while he was sick and infirm. —_—e———— The Catholic Mission.
