SE NG There was a scene of Intense excitement on Clay street wharf yesterday in which a runaway wife, her alleged lover, her husband and W. Ingram of the State Har- bor Police were mixed up. Had it not been for the Intervention of the policeman the reputed lover would have lost the number of his mess, and as it is he will bear the marks of the encounter for sev- eral days to come. The fight was a flerce and bloody one while it lasted and the knocked her lover down and then at- tempted to kill him. . A few days ago Jean de la Monte was the happiest man in Benicia. He was fairly well to do, had a young wife whom he adored and a friend who was unto him like a brother. The friend, Victor Nunez, had fallen upon evil days and about six months ago he was stranded in Napa without the whergwith to buy a glass of wine. He wrote to his friend, De la Monte, and the latter brought him to Benicia, fed and clothed him and finally got him a job. According to De la Monte, Victor lodged with him, and as the months passed be- gan to take an especial interest in Mrs. de la Monte. De la Monte was the last to notice what was going on, and had he found his wife alone on Clay street wharf yesterday he would have gone down on his knees to her and asked her to return home. Instead he found her with Nunes. | After separating' the men, Officer Ing-| ram tried to appease the husband’s wrath but failed cumplem]i‘. He would not even | give the woman carfare nor would he per- mit her to get anything in his name. To | Ingram he told the following story and every time he had to mention his wife's | name he would shake his finger in her | direction, while the mention of his rival | caused his hand to wander to a sheath knife he carried In his belt: “Nunez and my wife ran away on the| steamer Dauntless,” said he. *‘She went | to the grocer and borrowed $7, saying I | wanted it. Then she packed her trunk and shipped it under the name of Elvira Mazzola. That was her name before I married her. When the grocer told me of her having borrowed the money I hur- ried home and only then I discovered that | she had fled. I immediately took the train for San Francisco and caught them both on the wharf. I will surely kill Nu- nez if 1 h him, and my wife I never want to se Victor I treated like a | brother and everything I had was his al- ways excepting my wife. Her he stole from me and now I want revenge. Officer Ingram took Mrs. de la Monte o0 the Lombard Hotel on Pacific street and left her with some friends. When | he came out of ‘the building he met the | husband on the street. Monte said he | was going to keep watch, as he thought Nunez might return, and he wanted | to catch him. Ingram warned him to do | no violence, and said the best thing he| could do would be to go back to Benfela | and forget all about his wife and his faithless’ friend. Mrs. de la Monte has a different story to tell apropos of her sudden departure from Benicia, and it is a tale altogether unlike that told by her irate spouse. “I did_not run away from home with Victor Nunez,” she said. “My husband treated me shamefully, and as T could no | longer endure his cruelty I determined to leave him. I decided to come to this city | and get some work to do. On the boat I | met Nunez. He had no idea that I was coming to town, and I was astonished to see him. Our meeting was purely accl- | dental. I believe that my husband is now | convinced that 1 did not run off with Nunez, and that he has gone quietly back to Benicia and the tannery, where he is employed.” Last evening Nunez was about the Lom- | bardi Hotel in a glorious frame of mind and with quarts of home-made wine surg- ing madly in his brain. He was, however, | only allowed the privileges of the bar, the | Lombardl boniface denying him the pleas- | ure of occupying a room under the same roof with Mrs. de la Monte.

At next Monday's meeting of the Su- pervisors Commissioner Manson of the Board of Public Works expects to file a report on the present condition of the city theaters in regard to thelr exits and fa- cilittes for fire protection. He states that_considerable data has been collected | on the subject, and the best of the ordi- nances now in operation in Eastern cities, and especlally in New York, will be drawn upon to prepare necessary legisla- tion to regulate the showhopses.” Manson takes exception to the statement made by Supervisor Brandenstein that “it was as much as a man’s life was worth to go to | some theaters.”” Manson admits that cer- | n | tain improvements are necessary in the | theaters, but he also calls attention to the | fact that no serious mishaps have so far cecurred.

PAYNE of Milwaukee, Republican National Committee- man for twenty years and one of the shrewdest political managers in the country, is at the Palace. Although he has traveled through nearly every State in the Union, he is on his first visit te California. Mr. Payne has come here to rest. His traveling companions are Mrs. Payne, Judge James E. Jenkins of the United States Court of Appeals, Mrs. Jenkins, Miss Jenkins and Miss Loulse Jones. Judge Jenkins is also here for his health. He has been threatened with blindness from cataracts on both eyes and is taking a rest preparatory to under- going an operation for their removal. | Mr. Payne is a business man, with large interests. He Is president of an electric railway and lighting corporation in Mil- waukee ana ranks as one of the foremost business men in the State. His genius for political management has made him fa- mous. He first entered actively into poli- tics in Milwaukee in 1872, when he was made ghairman of the Republican State Central Committee. In 1880 he became a member of the Republican National Com- mittee from Wisconsin, and is now the oldest member of the committee in point of service. Since it has been rumored that Mark Hanna will resign as chairman of the committee Mr. Payne has been mentioned as his logical successor. In an interview last night Mr. Payne sald there could be no doubt that Presi- dent McKinley would again be the stand- ard-bearer of the Republican party and that his re-election is a certainty. ““We can safely reckon on the Pacific Coast,” he said. ‘“We have good prospects in Kansas and I am not without hope in Colorado, while there is some chance for us In Montana. even.

They are all accompanied by their families. The clerical force to accompany the commission consists of a secretary, assistant secretary, Spanish secretary, translator and a private secre- tary for each member. forty-three people in the party. The ladies and children are to be left at Yokohama for a month, until the Commissioners have secured houses and made everything réady for their comfort. Of the five Commissioners Professor Worcester is the only one who has ever been in the Philippines. He was a mem- ber of the last commission, and spent some time there with the army. Prior to that time he made two scientific expeditions into the islands—the first in 1887 and the last in 1891, on which occasion he remained three years. He has held the chair of as- sistant professor of zoology at Ann Arbor University, but recently resigned the po- sition. He has published a book on the islands, which has proved very valuable. Chairman Taft is probably the best known man on the commission. During the past elght years he has been United States Circult Judge of the Sixth District, with his home at Cincinnati, but resigned his position in order to give all his time to this important work, Prior to his ap- pointment to the bench of the United States Circult Court Judge Taft was So- ifeitor General of the United States for two years, and before receiving that appoint- ment was for many years a Judge in the Superfor Courts of Ohlo. Judge Taft is accompanied by his wife and three chil- dren, the oldest, & boy of 10, and his sis- ter-in-law, Miss Herron. “I do not care to discuss the Philippine question in a newspaper interview,” sald Judge Taft yesterday, “‘for what I have tu say must be said with great care.

We have not solved all the problems of popular government so perfectly as to justify our voluntarily seeking more difficuit ones abroad. We have not volun- tarily sought them. Circumstances beyond our control, the sequel of the Spanish war, have thrust on us responsibility for the uture government of the Philippines. The roposition is vigorously denied by high- minded and conselentious men and by some with a fury of superlative and epithet that 1s hardly consistent with a judicial attitu or an impartial consideration of the que: tion. My conviction is that the calm Investiga- tion of the future historlan into all the conditions existing at the time of taking each_step toward the present situation in the Philippines will lead him to conclude that President McKinley and his adminis- tration selected in each crisis the only al- ternative which a due regard to our nation- al and international obligations would per- mit. Judge Wright is one of the ablest law- yers {n the South, and is well fitted for the important work for which he hds been selected. He did not care last night to discuss the Philippine question. To-night the Commissioners will be ban- ueted at the Palace Hotel by friends of ofessor Moses. Over 300 Invitations have been issued. GROUNDING DEVICE TO PROTECT FIREMEN The Electric Car Companies Agres to Its Use After a Second Alarm. Representatives of the Market-street and San Mateo electric roads appeared before the Board of Fire Commissioners yesterday to discuss the adoption of the device submitted by Chief Elec- L E cwelll to prevent the. possibility e ey to firemen through broken wires t a fire. It was agreed that in all fires After & second alarm the device should be used, but the companies’ representatives said that immediately on notification at the power-house the engineer would shut off tgne current. F. H. Kenny, hoseman of engine 4, was charged with neglect of duty and drunk- enness. He was stationed at the Grand Opera-house during the performance and was found asleep in his chair. He pleaded that he had beenr constantly on duty for thirty-six hours, but that was not deemed an excuse, and he was fined thirty days' ay, the lightness of the penalty being sue to his previous good character. The chur]ge of drunkenness was dismissed. A letter was read from Korbell Broth- ers, box manufacturers, 723 Bryant street, inclosing a check for $100 to the Firemen’s Mutual Ald Society fund as an apprecia- tion of the successful efforts of the fire- men on Sunday last to save their box factory. ————— Dr. Parker's Cough Cure.
