A few days ago a re. mittitur from the BSupreme Court an- nounced the affirmation of the judgment of the Superior Court. When Eslabe appeared before Judge Og- den this morning, accompanied by Attor- ney W. B. White, his face wore a deathly allor.

Mrs. O'Malley Loses Her Reason Through Her Husband’s Death. The arrest, pending an examination as an insane person, of Mary O'Malley of 56 Minna street yesterday revealed a case of more than pitiful circumstances. At the request of the neighbors, the woman was taken in charge for fear she might kill herself and her children. The unfortunate woman is the mother of a family of seven children, the oldest of which s a boy of 13 years, while the months old. The boy works for a transfer company and gives all his money to help support the family, after a short illness and his widow refused to be com- forted. Her sorrow so preyed upon her mind that she completely lost her reason, | and on Wednesday night was found wan- | | dering about the streets with a lighted Jamp in her hand calling for her husband. The neighbors speak very highly of the unfortunate woman, who, t murh the mother of a large family, is still quite young, and through their efforts the chil dren were taken care of by the St. Jo- seph’s School and the Youths' Directory. ——————————— Condnctor Burke Not Guilty.

It is belleved that he passed it to a confederate, for whom the police are now searching.

Elmer Jones, alias Frederick Wilson, a private in the regular army, came out of the County Jail yesterday and then went back again. He had just finished serving ten days for stealing a watch from a friend, Henry Hackmeler, late sergeans in the Fifty-first Ohio Volunteers. Jones, who had deserted from the army, found the ways of the world hard and unsympathetic until he met Hackmeler a few weeks ago. The latter took him to his home, shared his bed and his food with the 'soldfer, and in return lost a watch, which was pawned for $5. After this Jones enlisted in the army under the name of Wilson, but deserted again prior to his arrest at the instance of Hack- meler. When he was freed from jail yesterday morning Jones was taken to Fort Mason, where it was discovered that in addition to belng a deserter twice over, he had stolen a suit of clothes from a member of the regiment previous to his arrest for the watch theft. Jones is in the County Jall again. —ee———— Pilot Benscn Sued. Mrs. Kate Benson has sued her husband, Benjamin C. Benson, for maintenance.

At the request of Major General John H. { Dickinson, commanding division, and | Brigadier General R. H. Warfield, com- ! manding Second Brigade, N. G. C., the of- ficers of the First Regiment Infantry, N. | G. C., met last evening in the banquet room of the California Hotel to perfect the details that still remain to be attend- ed to before the famous fighting regiment will be ready to assume once more its position in the National Guard. Considering the demoralization that gen- erally attends the mustering out of a reg- iment after a year of active campaigning at the front, the First is to be compliment- ed on the showing it has made. Of the original number of men who left here with the regiment 706 had again re- ported for duty on the 30th of last No- vember, and so active and_ conscientious have the company and staff officers been in the performance of their duties that all that now remains for the regiment to do in order to pass muster is to complete the physical examination of a few of the new men and to attend to one or two un- important formalities.
