ADVERTISEMENTS. —_— | Other Appointments Are to Be Made and Important Changes Are Mentioned as Soon to SPECIAL SALE SEEN ALIVE BUT RECORDED DEAD AT THE MORGUE Case of an Alleged Suicide Reported Still in the Flesh. LA Y Friends of Frank L. T. Merwin Claim That the Body at the Morgue ‘Was That of Another: Man. PSR LR A singular mystery has developed in the guicide of a man found dead in the lodg- ing-house at 317 Third street last Thurs- day and whose body was identified as that of Frank L. T. Merwin. An inquest brought -out the fact that an unknown man hired a room late Wednesday night at the lodging-house and his dead body was found the following morning. On the shirt bosom of the deceased was a fare- well message written in a facetious mood and signed “Merwin.” At the Morgue the body was identified as that of Frank L. T. Merwin and the name was duly recorded on _the Coroner’s books. Now comes the story that on the day following the publication of the story, the man whose body was supposed to be lying on a slab at the Morgue was met on the street by a former friend, who spoke to him and received the startling informa- tion that the notes were written by him for the purpose of defrauding his credi- tors by an ingenious scheme of advertis- | ing himself to the world as dead. Merwin | | was much sought for yesterday, but if he is alive he has succeeded so far in elud- ! ing the persons who are trying to clear up | the mystery. John A. Ellert, a sign painter residing at 515 Eddy street, went to the Morgue | Thursday nignt and after viewing the body of the suicide positively identified it | as that of Merwin. At the inquest held two days later Mr. Ellert declared, after seeing the body again, that he was mis- taken in his identification, and that he | was sure that the body was not that of his former employe. Ellert gave as a reason for his mistake that when he first saw the body it was | under the rays of the arc light in the | Morgue and that he gave it but a casual | glance. In thinking over the matter the | | next day Mr. Ellert concluded that Mer- vas not as heavy in build as the sul- d that the body did not bear a pe- car which was very noticeable on Merwin's face. Ellert, in commenting on the character of Merwin, said he was a | fiippant sort of a fellow and always ready | whB'a “‘pert” answer. | A Mr. Millman of Oakland, who had | been a fellow worker with Merwin, read | the account of the suicide in Friday’'s | Call. While on his way to the ferry Satur- day morning he says he was greatly sur- rised and astonished to see the supposed ead man at work on Market street, near Beale. He approached Merwin with a feel- ing of uncertainty and after satisfying himself that he was not mistaken spoke | to him and asked for an explanation. Mill- man says Merwin was not pleased at the recognition, but after a little parleying | sald: “For God's sake, don't say any- thing about this and I will explain it all | to you Sunday. I wrote those notes to | beat my creditors.” Merwin, however, failed to appear and make the prmised explanation. Millman | is unshaken in his identification and says | that nothing could make him believe that | he was not conversing with Merwin on | Saturday. At the lodging-house where the suicide occurred the landlady disclaimed all | knowledge of the case, except that a man hired a room Wednesday night and was | found dead the next mornin; WENT GUNNING FOR A SALOON KEEPER Private Kane Raised Trouble With His Rifle and Bayonet Until a Guard Got Him. There was & hot time just outside the | Presidio gate last Friday that has cul- | | minated in serious charges being filed | | against Henry F. Kane, erstwhile of Com- | pany M of the Ninth Infantry, but now of | | Convalescent Company No. 1. The end of | it will probably be the discharge of Kane. | Kane, with the remainder of the garri- son, was paid last Thursday, and before | night he had managed to pick a row with | Crowley of White & Crowley’s saloon, near the post gate. Friday night, | the memory of his wrongs still strong | upon him and himself considerably under | the influence of liquor, he rose from his bunk after taps, and tasing his rifle &nd belt from the rack filled his magazine and belt with ball cartridges and sallied forth to find Crowley. He went into the sa- loon, but Crowley was not there, so_Kane offered to shoot any one who was handy and willing to answer him back. No one | | took up the dare, but one of the bystand- | ers ran into the post guard house and called out the guard. A squad was sent after Kane, but instead of arresting him }he ard took his rifle and cartridges and et him go. with | Egan stopping at the midway point. FOR ONE WEEK!

TAYLOR, who served three times as Governor of Tennessee and represented the Btate twice in Congress, 1s in the city. Besides holding many other politi- cal positions of importance he is a lawyer of note and has made his mark upon the lecture platform. He is now giving a serles of lectures through the country and will be heard here. Colonel “Bob” Taylor, as he is familiar- Iy known among his friends, is one of the best known and best liked public men of the South. Although 5 years of age, he is always spoken of as a young man, be- cause of his youthful looks and buoyant disposition. He was born in Happy Val- ley and some of his friends account for it in that way. He was admitted to the Tennessee bar in 1§78 and the following year was sent to Congress to represent his district. He was an elector at large on the Cleveland ticket in 1384 and the following year was made pension agent at Knoxville, The incident that made Colonel Taylor most famous was his election as Governor on the Democratic ticket in 1886, his op- ponent being his twin brother, Alfred A. Taylor. 1In that campaign he carried a violin around with him and entertained his audiences with music and song, as well as with brilliant oratory. After serv- ing four years as Governor Colonel Tay- lor returned to his law practice. ~He was again a Presidential elector on Cleve- P St 3 i EX-GOVERNOR R. L. TAYLOR.

Fast Ball Played in the Morining and Afternoon—Yesterday’s Honors ‘Were Divided Between Both Sides. e San Francisco 4, Sacramento 2. Perfect weather, a large crowd, stamp- ing and yelling with old-time baseball en- thusiflsm and a spirited game of ball made a success of yesterday's dlamond contest at Recreation Grounds. Some fringy errors marred the excellence of the game at times, but on the whole the crowd was well pleased and used feet and lungs to show its approval. For two innings the work of both teams was perfect—of that fast order which makes the heart of the fan palpitate and grow warm. Both sides were retired in one, two, three sucgession, Iburg and Champion Hughes being supported with a steadiness that was unbroken. Hughes’ first appearance in the box in this city was not crowned with the laurels of victory. Though touched for hits but a half dozen times, four of them were bunched in a single inning and four runs resulted. Sgonfe this inning out of the game and the locals would have reveled in nothing but goose eggs. Iburg pitched good ball and received excellent support at eritical moments. All through the game the crowd dis- played a keen interest. The first two innings brought nothin; in the way of scores, but in the thire Frisco got on the bafl and shoved four men over the plate. Iburg opened up by touching Champion Hughes for a double and Brockhoff, next man with the stick, repeated the performance, sending Ibur over the rubber. Hughes was not so oog right here, McCarthy walking and Krug getting first on a close in-field hit. Then Hildebrand flew to Shanahan, Brockhoff scoring on the throw in. Reuben, the old, perished on a foul fly, but Schwartz found the spheroid, and while Egan was fool- ing with the ball in his attempt to put the runner out at first, McCarthy and Krug coursed the bags. The sixth inning belonged to the sleepy Senators. Devereaux swatted the ball so- flercely that it rolled to the left field fence and when Reuben returned it Devereaux was on the third bag. Then “Truck” Egan let his stick go and the ball hit the right field fence, Devereaux scoring agd n Egan advanced a base, scoring on Brockhoff’s error, which placed Hughes at first. ‘this was all that hap- gencg, but it put Sacramento on the score oard. For a moment the ninth mnlng looked like something and the crowd held the seats in suspense. After one man had found a place in the cemetery Shanahan took a constitutional and second, when Brockhoff stumbled over his own feet and allowed Doyle to reach first unharmed. That was as far as the Senators went, Stultz doing a fly act to Peeples and Mec- Stanley’s out Laughlin doing the same to Krug. The score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB. R. B SB. FO. A.

Sacramento 4, San Francisco O. A fast game, In which both Salsbury, who twirled for the Senators, and Fitz- patrick for the Wasps, pitched excellent ball, was played on the Oakland grounds yesterday morning, resulting in the single victory that Sacramento secured out of the series of three. The Senators gave Salsbury splendid support at all times, as their error column will show. Krug was the bad Indian for the locals, dropping a fly in the fifth inning that allowed two men to_cross the rubber. For four innings neither side scored. In the fifth Hanlon won first on an error and stole second. Stultz and Salsbury followed with tombstone effects and then Fitz forgot to look at_the plate, walking McLaughlin and Devereaux. gan swatted the ball through the fireman and Hanlon scored. Stanley came to the plate with a good fruitful stick and he sent a long_drive to Krug, who politely fumbled. McLaughlin and Devereaux scoring on the play.

Yesterday was an ideal “Park Day,” and the broad green lawns and gravel walks in the vicinity of the band stand presented both an animated and pretty scene. Ladies in new Easter bonnets and handsome gowns, accompanied by their male admirers, were to be found at every turn. Swell equipages and smart rubber- tired buggies were in a continual stream on the main boulevard that extends to the ocean. Even the peacocks seemed to real- ize the Importance of the day and strutted around, admired by all who saw them. The two police officers mounted on bicy- cles—Officers J. Ahern and C. J. Birdsall— had a hard time of it. They reported at Golden Gate Park early in_the day, and then their troubles began. They were de- tailed to keep aspiring Zimmermans down to a ten-mile gait on the roads and by- ‘ways of the park, and from indications of the register at the Park Police Station they both earned their salaries yesterday. They arrested seven small boys yesterday and placed them in durance vile, and sev- eral irate renters of wheels called at the station to get their bicycles out for fresh victims, but without success. The sprint- ers who were arrested were Charles Kaden, Fred Smith, Joe Espinosa, Joe Grennan, Robert McGillan and George Mahon. James Stanley, accompanied by his wife, in the afternoon was enjoying the beauties of the park behind a fast trotter, when one of the shafts of the buggy broke. The morbidly inclined spectators antici- pated !eelng a gory accident. They were disappointed, as Mounted Officer Chris Arellanes arrived on the scene at the critical moment and grasped the bridle of the horse in the nick of time. The results of the aquatic sports at Su- tro baths were as follows: e special 50-yard race between F. A. Walse, cham- pion swimmer of the coast, and C. Dono- van, champion of Alameda, was won by the former in 45 seconds; trick and lnn%y spring board dlving—C. Sunburg first, Bogan second; under-water swimming contest—J. A. Jackson first, J. Finney second. POLICE THOUGHT THEY HAD A SAFE CRACKER A man stamping goods in a room above the McNear Grain Agency, on California street, last evening caused a little stir in police circles, much to the dismay of sev- eral officers in the California-street sta- tion. About 6 o'clock a colc®ed janitor em. ployed in the bulldlnf rushed to the st tion and gave the information that safe- crackers were at work on a large vault in the n office. Sergeant Christiansen and Officers McGovern and Kramer, heav- ily armed, started’for the scene, and be- fore entering the bullding blocked all the exits so as to prevent the escape of the criminals. They heard the sounds of a hammer distinctly, but could find no rob- bers. An investigation developed the fact that the noise which caused the alarm was made by the man at work on the floor overhead. ———————————— Middle-of-the-Road Man. J. B.

DS “Say, you guys are to slow. You | couldn’t catch a cold, much less a beauti- ful woman. Just tear up her photo- graph and call it off. If she happens to | surrender herself kindly tell her that you | saw me."” | With a tinge of anger in his voice, Gilbert C. Selma, a commercial traveler, thus addressed Sergeant Fitzhenry in the office of the Chief of Police last night. His wife eloped several days ago with a whom Selma considered his bosom friend. Mrs. Selma became smitten with his good | looks and together they planned the | elopement. Without exciting the sus- picions of her husband. Mrs. Selma packed her trunk and taking what money she had, met her lover by prearrange- ment. Selma was furious when he learned that his wife had left him for Harwood. He at first intended to follow them and wreak vengeance on the man, but after thinking the matter over he concluded to enlist the services of the police in finding his erring spouse. To Chief Sullivan he represented that Harwood was a real vulain, who would be be%!r off in jail than out. When questi d the husband said that his wife was the “dearest and truest creature on earth.” “I frequently noticed that the foolish woman seemed extremely happy when he was present,” innocently remarked Selma, “but as I was satisfled that she was mad- 1y infatuated with me I paid no attention to what I thought were the indiscretions of a young married woman. It never dawned upon me that he was laying siege to her heart.” CLOSING SESSION OF NEW UNITY CONGRESS Followers of Universal Brotherhood Hear Some Interesting Addresses. The closing session of the New Cycle Unity Congress, held under the auspices of the Universal Brotherhood, was held at Academy of Sciences Hall last night. The auditorium was well filled with fol- lowers of the belief and people interest- ed in it, and the meeting was an inter- esting one. Chairman H. H. Somers presided. The principal speakers were A.
