Strange Tale of Two Cities Involving a Wealthy Man’s Caprices and a Foster- Mother’ s Love.

Thelberg, a wealthy blind physician, who lives at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, was ar- rested to-day for whipping a 14-year-old boy named Arthur Mag- net. The boy declares that the physician beat him on the head with 2 gold-headed cane with such force that the cane was broken. The doctor says that as the boy’s guardian he has the right to punish him. Young Magnet asserts that he doesn’t know where he was born, but that he used to live with a Mrs. Frazee at 8 Hopeton ter- race, off Washington street, in San Francisco, and that when he was four years old Dr. Thelberg came and took him away. At the time he was taken away Mrs. Frazee, the boy says, informed him that Dr. Thelberg was his father. As a reason for the beating the boy declares that for some time the physician has been trying to force him to go to sea, and that when he flatly refused to go the cane was broken on his head. The magistrate has postponed exami- nation of the case until to-morrow. Arthur Frazee, Central Figure of a Strange Tale.

Ten months after the birth of the child whose parentage was unknown until seven years ago he was blinded by the explosion of some chemicals while exper menting a drugstore on Clay street, and shortly afterward went to the Bell vue Hospital in New York to see if an: thing could be not and to-day he is as blind as when the accident occurred. “Dr. Thelberg came to live with my hus- band and me in 1880, said Mrs. Frazee, ayed here only a few months, 2 mv hus lept dislike to him for some reason or other, asked me to inform him that we desired to live alone.

A year later he called to man, see me again and told me that the wife of a dear friend of his had died shortly after giving birth to a child and that he intended to adopt it. He wanted me to take the child and give it the best of care, saying he would pay me well for my trouble. I was astonished to hear this, as he was only 28 years old then, and sald people would think it strange for him to adopt a baby. and age, and he became confused and £aid he had forgotten to inquire. He finaily won my consent to take care of the child, for 1 thought it would take the place of my own dear ones who had passed away. “In the latter part of July he came id me to prepare for a short jour- :::.“" Aid so and went aboard a vessel een Powell | g attention from the fair sex | done to restore his sight. | The skill of medical scientists availed him | and, who had taken a vio- | time he returned and en-| He was | I asked Its sex | Monday e following ken to was We came to a cottage on ance from the hotel.

He was B to the Le_ Conte School, on Powell et, between Washington and Jackson, until the day he was torn from my arms, d grew into a fine, large boy. “About ten months after the child was born his father met with an accident which caused his blindness. The boy was born on June 28, 182, and the reason why his father was confused when 1 asked him the sex of the child he wanted me 10 take care of was that it had not yet been born. Dr. Thelberg was asked te a _chemical in a Clay streef as passing in his bugg: chemical exploded and made him drug st and the biind. “He stayed at the Baldwin Hotel for six mont. and_then went to Bellevue Hos- pital, New York, where he had graduated as a physician, to see If anything could be done for him. It could not, and I after- | ward learned from an old English gentle- | man named Webb, who used to live at South Park, but i$ now dead, that Dr. Thelberg had married a woman who had graduated in the same year he did. Five Vears after he had departed he sent a | iawyer here for the boy, and I refused to give him up. | 7“1t was in August, 1853, that he returned | here himself and asked for the boy. I sald nobody could have him, that I loved him and he wanted to stay with me. Then | the doctor went before the courts and | swore that Arthur was his own child, and |1 had to yield him up. The boy was 11 years old when taken away, and the night | before_he went he cried dreadfully and said: ‘Mamma, that man Is going to take | me away. I want to dle. I don’'t want to o with him. Who is he? 1 said the octor declared he was Arthur's father, and then the child became strangely still. 1 wonder what he thinks now, when he is nearly 18 years old? “The boy was taken to the Mount | Pleasant Primary School “at Amberst, | Mass. Al my leiters to him were inter- cepted by Principal Nash in accordance with orders I learned had been given by Mrs. Thelberg. The physician showed me Mrs. Thelberg’s picture when he came after Arthur and she looked like a kind woman. “Mr. Webb told me he had learned that the mother of the boy was not dead at all and that she had followed the father to New York and had been permitted to visit him while he was at the hospital and bring him delicacies and flowers. She did not live in Santa Barbara, but in San | before the boy was born. “I love the boy and want him back | and believe he would like to return to me. Where his mother is I | 1 should think from his still fiolnl by the | name of Magnet that Mrs. Thelberg does | not know that her husband is the boy's | father, but this brutality may end the | sorrow in his young life.”” As an evidence of the love Mrs, Frazee, who is a very old lady, bears for ‘“‘her | Arthur,” it may be mentioned that she | has made him the sole legatee to her | property by the terms of her will, includ- ng money in bank and valuable jewels in the safe deposit, besides considerable real eétate. | The dispatch would seem to bear out her |impression that Mrs. Thelberg is unaware | that the boy is her husband’s, as In it is | mentioned the fact that he claimed the | right to punish him on account of being | his guardian.

The reports of the officers showed that the corporation has not only surpassed all previous records of prosper- ity during its latest year of existence but |it promises for the year just beginning greater results and success. The affairs |of the corporation were briefly sum- marized in the report of the president, | John D. Spreckels, who referred particu- |larly to the substantial results of last | year and to the.healthy condition with Which the new year is begun. Mr. Spreckels called attention to the success which has greeted the bonds which have been issued for the construc- tion of new ships. These ships, he report- ed, will increase the number of round trips during the year from eight or nine to seventeen. The ships in speed, equip- ment and comfort wili be without peers in the Pacific Ocean and will contribute materially to the upbuilding of the com- merce of the coast. There is, the presi- dent reported, every reason to expect sub- stantial malil subsidies {rom the Govern- ment of New Zealand. As a whole the afiairs of the company could not be in a better condition and the future could not promise a brighter outlook. The total net earnings for 1399 were 74,747 45, an increase of $49,190 05 over thoSe of 1868. In the net earnings of 1899 the steamship Zealandia contributed $95,- 569 35 for her services asga Government transport. | Deducting thid the total of net earnings leaves as net earnings in the regular trade $279,175 40, which 1s an increase of $101,401 64, or about 63 per cent, over the regular trade earn- ings of 1348, There is now in the treasury the sum o s against $222,901 32 making an in 46 28, m does not include the money s been received from the sale of bonds. These bonds are now very highly considered by investors, as the premium | upon them demonstr lhe entire au- thorized amount of $2,600,000 has been sub- i for at par. Bonds to the extent 2 ) have been issued and partial to the amount of $725,534 have steamship con- struction and further payments will soon | become due. | One of the most important president’s report deals with arts of the the construc- ticn of these ne and the enormous increase of the s which will be o1 | vital interest to commerce of the coast. The president reports that the re- quirements of the tr beyond the | present capacity of th but it is fortunate that the new the con- struction of which was authorized at the annual meeting, will be sufficient to | meet the increasing demands of trade, The first of these three ships will be |launched in a few days and will be able to take up the running on June 13. It will be followed two months later by the sec- | ond vessel and four months later by the | third. As already indicated, they will be without peer on the Pacific Ocean and uld not be duplicated now at an in- | sed cost of 25 per cent. When they are put in commission the Alameda and Mariposa will be withdrawn in turn to receive new boilers, machinery and other improvements, which will increase their apacity. sresident reported also that he had visited Washington in connection w:th securing mail subsidies, and confidently expects increased revenue from this source when the new steamships are | ready Proposals have been for service. made also to the Government of New Zea- (land with a view to the establishment of | and were delighted when Panama was | reached. | _The ship Cyrus Wakefleld, now on her | way to Honolulu, is likely to have trou- | ble with her crew in the islands.

These proposals | specify that the New Zealand Govern- ment ‘shall pay annually to the Oceanic Steamship Company the sum of £30,000 in consideration for seventeen trips a year Wwith the new steamships, instead of thir- teen trips now given with two American | ships and one British vessel. The offer to the Oceanic Comrsny is to perform the new service exclusively with American ships, as it must do if it'avails itself of the terms of the United States law governing postal contracts. Under the proposed conditions the ships would sail every three weeks instead of fo with the time of the voyage greatly duced. No definite arrangement has y been reached with the colonies, but the president of the company believes that when the colonfal Parliament meets in June a satisfactory agreement will be made. . With these plans the president looks forward confidently to an extremely bright future. The company, instead of furnishing elght or nine trips a year, will give seventeen, and make the time in transit between Australia and London as £00d ag the best the Suez canal route can offer. It will at the same time handle the gow Zealand malls in four days’ less me.

REST SHOWN —— Within a week the transport Thomas, bearing the body of General Lawton, will arrive. Interest in the probable action of the army authorities is being shown in various ways, but even the army authorities are npt sure as to what will be done. The only definite arrangement so far made is that the body will be es- corted across the continent by General Shafter and his aid, Colonel Wilson. It may be that a guard of honor will be de- tailed from the garrison at the Presidio to take charge of the body on the train, but that has not been settled finally. The reception given the body of the gen- eral will depend upon the wishes of Mrs. Lawton, who is coming home on the Thomas, and on the wishes of those in charge of the funeral arrangements to be held in Washington. The army people here are ready to parade or supply guards at any time, but it will take some days to arrange for any celebration in which the city will take any active part.

Mr. Ford showed over twenty States in the United St have con: utions which are worde alifornia on the instructic juries, which had been upheld by highest courts and where the instruc- tions were similar to those in the Hoft case. The same line of instructions, he contended, had been given here In the cases of Durrant, Brandes and Botkin which had not been assailed, althoug! the parties had been convicted upon cir- cumstantial evidence.

Rev. Dr. Foute, rector of Grace Episcopal Church, has also communicated with headquarters w:.th an offer of his church as a place in which the body of the gen- :;ral may lie while awaiting shipment ast. It cannot be known, however, whether or not the body will be delayed here until Mrs. Lawton has been seen. She may consent to remain over in San Francisco for a day or two, or it may be that those in charge In Washington will make such a request in order to perfect their plars. | In that case there will probably be a civil and military demonstration. In case this | is not desired the bodgi will be taken from | the transport at the Folsom-street wharf and will be immediately removed to the train under suitable guard. It is not now interided that there shall be any saluting as the transport enters the_harbor. At the time of the funeral in Manila minute guns, in accordance with the rank of General Lawton, were fired from all posts, and it is probable that a similar salute will be given on the date of the ceremonies in Washington. In consequence there will not be any salute fired except under orders from Washing- ton. The body of Major John A. Logan will | also_arrive on ‘the Thomas. Major Tuck- er, Major Logan’s brother-in-law, is now here to receive and to escort the body East. It will probably be put under the guard of honor for General Lawton, and will be accorded almost similar honors on the way over. ‘With the change of commanders at the Presidio has come a change in the office of adjutant, First Lieutenant Roy Eltinge giving place to Lieutenant J.
