Receiv- ing no response she opened the door and was horrified to find the room filled with the fumes of illuminating gas. She sum- moned the woman's son, Willlam B.

Mrs. Hep- worth had been a resident of the fatal block but a few months. When moving into the house where her death occurred he injured her back, and was obliged to spend some time in the Waldeck Sana- torium, from which she returned two weeks ago. Deceased was 63 years of age and a native of Ireland. Her body was not taken to the Morgue, but.an inquest will be held later in the week. The first of the strange series of traglc coincidences which’ serve to make block 800 famous in Morgue annals was the sen- sational deaths of Mrs, Olga Duess and her three children at 808% Guerrero reet on March 31, 1896, The woman, who belleved to have been insane, dressed B .

Four bodies, stiff and cold, were found in the morning by the husband, who af- terward vindicated himself of his wife's charges. There are phases of the cas which will always remain a mystery The second incident happened when on the afternaon of December 16, 1897, Mrs. Mary Clute was found at 803 Guerrero street with her skull crushed. The woman, like Mrs. Hepworth, had been in the house but a short time, and Albert Verrenesneckockhoff, who had been em- ployed to lay carpets in the house, was ing alleged that he struck the unfortunate woman with a blunt instfument used in his trade. WILLIAM J. BRYAN IS COMING TO THIS COAST Democratic Standard-Bearer to De- liver a Series of Addresses—San Francisco Given Overlook. William J. Bryan, the probable stand- ard-bearer of the Democratic party, will tour this coast in his own Interests dur- ing the latter part of the present month. He so informed J. J. Dwyer, Democratic National Committeeman, in a letter which the latter received yesterday. The visit of the distinguished leader of the De- mocracy will be fraught with deep inter- est to the followers of his standard, as he will devote a considerable part of his speeches to the questions of expansion and imperialism. His utterances on the subject will be awaited with curiosity, as they will be his latest thoughts. Mr. Bryan will not gratify his local followers by raising his volce during his brief stay in ti.s city. He is satisfied with the im- pression he made while here in September, 1898, and is certain that the local Dem- | ocrats will not have forgotten the words | | | Folice Are Trying to Find the Person | Whe Sold It to Them in Order to Punish Him.

According to the letter recelved by Mr. Dwyer, Mr. Bryan will arrive in Sacra- mento on March 26, and will address the natives that night, and immediately after the meeting will leave for Oregon. He will spend two weeks touring that State and Washington, an. is scheduled to re- turn to San Francisco on April 7. He will not tarry long, but will “just drop in in an off-hand sort of way"” to greet the loca: leaders of Democracy. He will leave on the night of his arrival for Fresno, and will deliver an address at that city on the night of his arrival there. At the close of the meeting Mr. Bryan will depart for the southern part of the | State, as he has an appointment to speak at San Diego on the night of April 9. The following afternoon he will address the citizens of San Bernardino, and the next evening he will be heard by the people of Los Angeles. He will depart on April 11 for Phoenix, Arizona, where he will sow a few seeds In the hope that they will blossom at the next election. Mr. Dwyer and Seth Mann are making the arrangements for these meetings. —_——— Mrs. Edholm Lectures. Mrs. Charlton Edholm of Chicago ad- dressed an audience at the Helping Hand Medical Mission, 641 Commercial straet, last evening on the “Traffic in Girls.” Her address was interesting, and the lady, who is the author of a book on the same sub- Jject, made many strong arguments against some forms of soclety as it exists to-day. After she had concluxed the audience was entertained with music. THREATENED TO THROW HER OUT OF THE WINDOW Raoul Auguste Auzerais Is Sued for Divorce by His Second Wife. PRk Suit for divorce on the ground of cruelty has been instituted by Eva Elizabeth Auzerais, through her attorney, Joseph Rothschild, against Raoul Auguste Auze- rals, formerly of San Jose, on the ground of cruelty. The plaintiff represents that she and Au- zerals were married in November, 1893, and that shortly after their marriage the husband began to treat her cruelly by striking her and applying offensive names to her, often in the presence of their jt- tle daughter Phyllis, who Is now four years of age. n one occasion it is al- leged that Auzerais dragged his wife to the window in their apartments in the St. Nicholas Hotel and had it not been for the interference of the servant girl, An- nie Hinklin, Mrs. Auzerais claims that she lwciult'l have been hurled to the pavement below. Mrs. Auzerais recites that her husband is In receipt of an income of per month in the brokerage business in the Parrott building, besides owning valuable real estate left {0 him by his father, who was a San Jose caplitalist, and that she is reasonably entitled to the sum of for the maintenance of herself and child. The unh#pz couple for a long time re- sided at 774 Clayton street, at which place Mrs. Auzerais allcges that most of the m{uel acts on the part of her spouse took place, . Auzerais' first wife, from whom he was also divorced, caused something of a sen- sation by going on the stage some years ago. She married Hereward Hoyte, an actor who recently died. They formed a company which traveled northward and met with varying success. Shortly after his divorce Auzerais was married in Pariy to his present wife, who had nursed him throuf a serious {llness. They came to this city immediately after and have since resided here. —————— Dr. Parker’s Cough Cure. One dose will stop & cough. Never falls. Try it.

Alfred Kennedy, a private of Company F of the Ninth Infantry, committed sui- clde In the convalescent hospital at the Presidio yesterday abcut noon. He cut his throat with & razor. Kennedy was one of the men ‘who came home from the Philippines on the trans- port Grant, which arrived here March 5. He was suffering from rheumatism, but as soon as he landed here he began to re- cover, and a week ago he was transferred to the convalescent hospital. He had not been paid for two months before he start- ed home, and when he arrived here he learned that his descriptive list had not been sent on with him, and consequently he could draw no money until it could be secured from his company commander. This would take nearly two months mors, and as Kennedy had no money he be- came very despondent. He said nothing about ending his trou- bles, 50 no one suspected anything wrong when he went into the bathroom of the barracks where the convalescent hospital 18 located. Some one standing near the door heard him groan soon after he went in and then heard his body fall, so he| - pushed open the door and looked in. He saw Kennedy lying in_the bathtub, with his head nearly severed from his body. It was eyident at once that no!hlng‘ done to save bLis life, and within a tew moments he died. Kennedy enlisted in the army from Ala- bama, where he said he had relatives. Illa body ‘will be ahipped there. It was re or:eg at the Presidio yester- day that Private Osborn of Battery N, Third Artilery, stationed at Alcatraz, was found dead in his bed yesterday morning at reveille, It is supposed heart disease was what caused his death. There was a small fire in the quarters of Light Battery C of the Third Artillery Yesterday. The light battery occupies the third or’ middle building of the row of brick barracks. Some one had left a cigar or clgarette smoldering among some papers, and they took fire. There was a 11 blaze, but large enough to cause the fire call to be sounded, and the Flrrlnm went to fire quarters on the double-quick. The blaze was extinguished before it did much damage, Acting Assistant Surgeons John F. Leep- er, Willlam H. Walker and Frederick D. Branch have been assigned to duty at the genetal hospital pending their ud‘,"nment —p—— to the Philippines. Spring opening to-day and to-morrow. Ele- gently trimmed hats.

Highbinder Murderer, Held in the| Salt Marshes, Evades His Cap- tors and Makes His Escape.” e T Murder was in the air throughout the Chinese quarter last night. So serious did the situation look at one time that the Chief of Police détached an extra body to the scene to assist the two squads already there, and ordered the squad under Ser- geant Shea to discontinue its efforts at capturing gamblers and keep a close ‘watch for highbinders. Early in the evening groups of high- binders belonging to the Hop Sing Tong gathered at various places on the streets and prepared to commit murder. Their determination resulted from the action of the Suey Sing Tong In sending trailers after Jung Ah Lock, who was located in the salt marshes near Niles yesterday. Lock was a member of a faction affiliated with the Hop Sings in the present war and they determined to get revenge for the action. Another matter that hurt the Hop Sings also was the recent acquittal of a Suey Sing man who killed one of their members at Sacramento. When it became known that the Hop Sings were on the warpath for the Suey Sings, the latter im- mediately gathered all of their available hatchet men together and a clash seemed imminent for a time. The police were given the information and immediately reported the seriousness of the situation at headquarters and asked for more help. This will be given them with all possible dispatch, and Chi- natown was well patrolled last evening. Yesterday morning Sergeant Shea, in company with Judge Conlan and an in- terpreter, visited the City and County Hospital 'and issued a warrant to Jue Hok, the highbinder shot by Jung Ah Lock. Immediately afterward the Ser- geant started for the salt marshes near Niles, wherc the Chinese were =aid to have Lock a captive. When the officer arrived be found that the much wanted man had evaded his guard during the night and escaped. It appears that when the Chinese %;lll.rfll Lock they requested a town constible to place him under ar- rest. This the constable refused to do, | and’it was due to this that the man is stilf an outlaw. HER ILLNESS WAS NOT . AS BAD AS REPORTED Mrs. Stanford Returns to This City After Placing University Con- tracts in the East. Mrs. Jane Stanford returned from the East yesterday morning and will go down to Palo Alto after spending a few days at her home on California street, in this city. The recent reports that came from New York regarding the health of the univer- sity’s patroness have been greatly exag- gerated. The pneumonta of which so much was sald was nothing more than a slight attack of grip, which while, un- pleasant was not at all seriops. The cor- respondents In the East sent out reports that made it appear as though Mrs. Stanford was on the verge of dissolution. These statements were as unpleasant to the lady as they were disquieting to her friends. While In the East Mrs. Stanford found plenty of time to attend to the business connected with the university. She has glven to Mr. Lambe, the cousin of Lambs who designed the Dewey memorial arch, orders for the memorial _stained-glass windows which are intended for the new chapel. Lambe has the reputation of being the best church decorator in the United States, and it is expected that he will further add to his reputation by the work he will do on the windows. Orders for the majority of the statues of the twelve aposiles which will sur- round the nave of the church have also been placed, and it will not be long before some of them arrive at their destination. Mrs. Stanford will remain on the coast until_ May or June, when. she will leave for Europe and the Paris Exposition. It is her intention to remain in the French capital for a month or two and then jour- ney in a leisurely manner to the Holy Land by She does not L but she will probably be ab- sent the better part of a year, and while on the Continent she will keep a sharp | look-out for any works of art that may help to ornament Ler beloved university. FELL FROM A RUNWAY AND BROKE HIS NECK Edward O'Brien, a laborer, 35 years of age and residing at 1206 Folsom street, was instantly killed by falling from a runway belonging to the Pacific Coast Coal Com- pany at Beale-street wharf last evening. The unfortunate man was engaged in hauling coal from the steamship Wil- lamette to the coal bunkers on the wharf, and was hauling a wheelbarrow over the runway when he lost his balance and fell twenty-two feet to the deck below. When he was picked up it was found that he had been Instantly killed. His head struck the deck and it Is supposed that his neck was broken. Fitzgerald was unmarried and had no family, except two cousins r siding in this city. The body was taken to the Morgue by Deputies Smith and Meehan, where an Inquest 1 be held. —_————— To be Shot Like a Dog. Captain C. M. Chambers of the bay steamer Seagull swore to a complaint in Judge Mogan's court yesterday for the arrest of Paul R. Williams, an ex-con- vict, on the charge of threats against 1ife. He sald Willlams had been trying to allenate his wife's affections, and, be- cause he had ordered him to keep away from the house Willlams had written -him a letter, which he received through the mails yesterday morning, threatening to “shoot him like a dog.” Ghambers’ wife had bought a bootblack-stand for Wil- liams on the corner of Turk and Mason streets.
