Chafgrman Gould at this point fished up a few bouquets of extra size which he sessor Dodge as a preliminary to intro- ducing that gentleman to the notice of the Democratic voters present. The doc- tor was given quite an enthusiastic re- ception and made a speech full of figures and alleged facts. He said: “Fellow-citizens: 1 desire to thank you for this evident mark of your apprecia- tion and if it is an indorsement of my public career during the past year I am doubly thankful. I know that a man In office is always subject to adverse crit- fcism by a partisan press and from other | sources, and I kpow that such things are to be expected, but on an occasion of this kind to receive such a_ reception is ex- ceedingly grateful and I desire to again thank you.” al D +0400040004090 000346040400 000400040006D 0606565606060+ Mayor Phelan Addressing the Meeting at Metropolitan Temmple. gentleman whom you nominated last year for Justice of the Peace; this year yo have nominated him for Police Judge.

At this point Mayor Phelan entered, and was given three cheers and a tiger. Byington Talks Briefly. Lewis F. Byington informed the audi- ence that he was nated by the Democratic party for the office of District Attorney. He asserted his belief that every Democrat elected by the people of San Francisco a year ago lisd consclentiovsly ilived B up S 1o s pledges. He declared that for himself he | had endeavored to do his duty as Super- r, and took occaslon to pay a very t compliment to Mayor Phelan, prais- ing him for his ability and progressiv Mr. Byington's speech was care- worded and possessed the unusual merit of brevity.

Phelan du ng the process of its incu- ‘knowledged that one sec- ter and that it had been finally passed by a Republican Legislature, but facts like those could not feaze him. In conclugion Mr. Putnam praised each and every one of the Democratic candidates | for office as the best material that could have been selected. Joseph Cumming, candidate for Auditor, promised to give his time to the office if | elected and give the “flflp!e a business- like administration, if they saw fit to elect him, and urged his listeners to vote the Democratic ticket from top to bottom. Edmond Godchaux, nominee for Re- corder, said: “I am the humble nominee of the Democratic party for the office of | Recorder. 1 was a member of the Dem- ocratic Legislature which _sent Stephen M. White to the United States Senate, and am proud of it. I have also been secretary of the Board of Health under Mayor Phelan, who taught the people that that office should be paramount to all others. 1 will, if elected Recorder, do my duty as well have all the duties intrusted to me in the past. Deasy Receives an Ovation. Jeremiah Deasy, candidate for Sheriff, was well received by the audfence, and said in substance: “I am delighted to see such a grand audlence at this ratification, and it satisfies me that the ticket Js going to be ratified and elected by an over- whelming majority on the seventh of No- vember next. Last year, on this platform, I gave you my pledge and you elected me, and I hope that you are not sorry. 1 leave it to you again.

The battle that has been going on in San Francisco is, Shall we own ot be owned?

Mr. Phelan declared in conclusion that he was under no obligation to any man for his nomination; that he had been nom- inated by the people, owed fealty ta the | people only and If elected would be wholly | free from any political obligation and in a | position to devote his best energies for the next two years to the welfare of the people of San Franclsco. Then the audience gave three cheers for Phelan, the band played and the people marched out of the hall. MRS. CRITTENDEN THORNTON DIES IN THE FRENCH CAPITAL RS. CRITTENDEN THORNTON, the wife of the well-known attorney, died yesterday morning in Paris, where she had been living for the last Mrs. Thornton left San Francisco last April for the French treatment. The news of Mrs. Thornton's death, though unexpected,did not come as a utter surprise. Three weeks ago her husband, Crittenden Thornton, received a cablegram from his wife that a sudden turn in her illness made life precarious, but soon after her physicians The end came yesterday morning and the sud- fden news quite prostrated Crittenden Thornton, whose latest previous informa- tion was that his wife was recovering. Mrs. Crittenden Thornton was the daughter of David D. Colton, one of the most prominent of early railroad men in California. Her father was one of the original builders of the Central Pacific, and for a long time was intimately con- nected with the “Great Four,” Huntington, Hopkins, Crocker and Stanford. She has been a great traveler, usually accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Ellen N. Colton, and her daughter, now Mrs. Siegfried Schacher. A few months ago, while in Paris, Miss Helen Thornton was married and the wedding was one of the events of the season among the American colony in Paris. Mr. and Mrs. Schacher and Mrs. Ellen Colton will soon leave for San Fran- cisco, accompanying the body of Mrs. Crittenden Thornton.

Judge Belcher yesterday rendered judg- ment in favor of Lizzie Muir and Belle Curtis, heirs of the estate of the late Jacob Z. Davis, and against Alexander Boyd for an accounting. Boyd was a partner of Jacob Z. Davis, who died in October, 1896, leaving an estate valued at $2,000.000. He conducted the affairs of the copartnership until the estate of the deceased was distributed to the heirs. The heirs claimed that Mr. Boyd owed the Davis estate some $30,000, and as_he refused to account, they filed suit. Mr. Boyd claimed that his services on behalf of the copartnership were rea- sonably worth the amount of the differ- ence in the accounts, some $30.000, and that the matter should be allowed to stand. Judge Belcher, however, has de- cided that his services were not unusually laborious and that he is_entitled to no compensation therefor. Hence Mr. Boyd must pay the plaintiff $30,000 unless the judgment is reversed on appeal. — ee————— Most every one who has whiskey for sale compares its virtues to Jesse Moore “AA” whiskey. —_— e In the Divorce Court.
