PRETTY SAN JOSE WIDOW'S BREACH OF PROMISE PERSUADES TARDY SUIT EN THE WEDDING DAY over Hermelin, after the widcw had thus declared herself. Mrs. Lagrue pressed him to name the day and he refused. Then she filed the breach of promise suit. In her complaint she declared that for two years she had been engaged to Her- melin and stood ready to marry him at all times, but he had refused to keep his part of the contract. This brought Hermelin, who s a man of wealth, to time, He at once sought negotlations with Mrs. Lagrue. He told her he had a wife and children in France, from whom he had not been divorced. Thus he could not marry her, and he asked time for a trip to France. Mrs. Lagrue surprised him by saying she had investigated and knew that he was pre- varicating. This afternoon & settlement was reached and an ante-nuptial contract went on record in the Recorder’s office. By its terms Hermelin gives Mrs. Lagrue a bill of sale to a half interest in the Liberty Hotel for $800 and in return she deeds him a lot on El Dorado and Vine streets. The contract states that they have agreed to marry. GLERGY GTAND BY THE MAYOR Sacramento’s Executive Has Their Complete Confidence. | Refuse to Act as Judges Be- tween Clark and His Enemies. I o A Specia! Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, April 27.—Mayor George H. Clark took his turn at the bat this afternoon by presenting statements signed by Rev. Charles L. Miel, Rev. A. B. Banks, Rev. Father Quinn and Rev. 8. J. Carroll, in which thcy decline to heed the charges uttered against his official con- duct by Daroux ani Cavanaugh, or to sit as judges in the determination thereof. The special significance of the ministerial confession of faith is that yesterday after- noon $1000 was placed in bank to be drawn at the order of these clergymen if those accusing Mayor Clark of connection with | the poolrooms did not supply the clergy- men with proof of the truth of the charges. Mayor Clark makes no other answer to | the $1000 offer than to show these letters | from the clergymen and to reaffirm all | that he has sald respecting Daroux and Cavanaugh. He also presents a letter from Chief of Policc Suilivan and Cor- poration Counsel H. W. Johnson, whoss sincerity, it should be said, has not been questioned even by Clark’s enemies, in which they declare that their instructions fromt Clark were always that they should proceed against the poolroom men and the gamblers. With respect to the $1006 offer to prove the charges on the part of those making them the holder of the stake remarked to-night: It is not the Bee's busmess, but it would secm that a committee composed of these five clergymen, particularly after the statements they have signed, would be the very kind of & committee Mayor Clark would court. The $1000 is still in the California State Bank and the editor of the Bee, Into whose hands it was entrusted, proposes to leave it there until noom of Monday, May 6. It is a public calamity that the orphans cannot get it. It would do more good that way than to keep it in bank or to return it. Mayor Clark details his record on the poolroom question as establishing his po- sition and closes his statement as follows: I shall hereafter respond neither to inter- views, nor waste my time in further replies. I desire to call the attention of the people, however, in conclusion, to this one fact, that, although I refused these people a license in | August. 1900, from which time they have been | my most bifter enemies, the pretended agree- | ment with me was nevér sprung until In_the Drogress of the case wherein I was suing to recover from Jack Wright and others nearly $200,000 out of which I claim myself and partner were defrauded by Wrigit and his assoclates. B, W. Cavanaugh was asked to-night th%t hé thought of the signed statements o Cla he clergymen affirming their faith in He said: “Why don't he send me to jall? I have sald some very serious things about him. Why don’t he bring me into court and punish me for it? I am ready.” The oil land case, which has produced be resumed on Tuesday | the row, will next.

PASSENGER TRAIN RUNS INTO AN OPEN SWITCH Section Foreman’s Carelessness Re- sponsible for Accident on Coast Line. SALINAS, April 27.—As passenger train No. on the coast division was speeding toward Castroville this morning a serious accident was barely avoided. A section foreman had opened a switch at Graves’ warehouse in order to run a handcar over and forgot to fix it.

The only d: done to the pas- senger train was the breaking of the cow- | catcher on the locomotive. Edwin A.Frost_—, ager Windsor Clifton Ho Chicago,.Ill. Hon. E. A, Frost, manager of the Wind- sor-Clifton House, corner of Monroe street and Wabash avenue, Chicago, IIL., says in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co. of Columbus, O., the fol- lowing words in praise of their catarrh remedy, Peruna: The Peruna Medicine Columbus, 0.: Gentlemen—Before taking Peruna 1 had suffered for twenty years from malaria to the extent that | had chronic neuralgia of the stomach, and could not sit out in the night air without suffering the next day. | had tried many so-called remedies but with only partial and temporary re- lief. It has been two years since | used Peruna but | am satisfied that my cure is complete and permanent.”’ —Edwin A. Frost. OTHING in the world produces more disastrous aenemia of the nerve cen- ters than neuralgla. Any one who Las ever had neuralgia will find himseif | constantly liable to nervous troubles. This is especially true If he has been sub- Ject to taking much quinine. Peruna Increases Nutrition. Neuralgia is always an expression of nerve weakness. Some nerve center has been deprived of nutrition, and neuralgia is the signal of distress which this nerve center is able to make. Thus it Is that neuralgia depends on a want of nutrition of the nerve centers. Peruna increases the nutritive value of the food and does it by correcting the di- gestive organs. After the digestive or- gans have been once put in good working order by Peruna then the food is able properly to nourish the body. This is how it happens that Peruna cures many cases of old neuralgia which have resisted all other forms of treat- ment. Peruna is not a specific for neural- gla, but it is a specific for catarrhal affec- tion of the digestive organs. There is no remedy in the world that is so sure to-put the digestive organs in good working or- der as Peruna. Company, curable by a course of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the foundation of all chronic diseases by increasing the nutritive func- tion of the digestive organs. The case of neuralgia narrated by Hon. E. A. Frost as above is a splendid lllus- tration. Doctors Surprised. N. E. Bunker, Newman, Cal., writes: | “I was sick for nine years with one of | the worst cases of catarrh of the stomach | possible. All that time I did not have a natural taste In my mouth. Could not eat, barely kept life In me by nibbiing— | could eat nothing of any substance, only | soft foods, and little of that. I got as low as 108 pounds. The first cause was la grippe. By accident I used Peruna; | began it last February. I have now been | well six or ssven months—entirely well. Am heavier than for thirty years. Doe- | tors are surprised, as are all my friends. I have advertised Peruna extensively in many parts of the State; personally, many are helped. I am very thankful "— N. B. Bunker, “Never Felt Better.” Mrs. T. E. Frech writes from ‘Excell, Tenn., as follows: ‘‘Having been afflicted witlf catarrh and stomach trouble for seven years, I tried four different daciors. They only relleved me for a little while, I gave up all hope ‘of being cured, having gen reduced to 130 pounds. I was so weak I could scarce- 1y get out of the room.
