The excursionists who made a trip around the bay and as far as Martinez on the river steamer Dimond, formerly the Queen of the Yukon, had a lively time of it. The same crowd that went out on the City of Stockton several Sundays ago were along, and all kinds of games of chance were indulged in.

Every member -of the Car Employes’ Union, which was very quietly organized some two months ago, has been requested to sign a petition asking the reinstate- ment of the twenty-five men who were discharged . by the Market-Street = Com- pany a few days ago on 'account of their union affiliations. Since, then a number ‘| on the other lines’of the company- have been quietly dismissed. The method of forming the union was a neculiar one. A few of the men met with an Eastern organizer'and effected an organization, applied for and received a charter. Then, during the off-hours of the conductors’and gripmen, representa- tives of the union would visit their homes, obligate the men and place)their -names on the secret roll. In this way nearly all the street railroad employes were brought in. Finally the secret got out and the of- ficial descended on the men who were supposed to have been most active in pressing the usual demands. It was originally intended to insist upon these demands being put in force next Wednesday, but, although they have been in the hands of the managers of the com- panies for some time, two weeks further time may. elapse before .any action is taken. The men in Oakland, San ' Jose and Sacramento are also thoroughly or- ganized and in the event of a strike in this city a'sympathetic ~strike may be GATTLEWAN IBDUGTS s TO GHILDREN A Rich Nevada Stock Grower Outwits Di- vorced Wife. e J. G. Taylor Visits Larkspur and Takes Away His Two Boys. g Mother Is Spending the Day With Friends in San Francisco When Kidnaping Takes Place. B g After a long and stormy voyage on ’a. matrimonial sea, months spent in the di- vorce court and the incidental troubles at- tendant thereon, J. G. Taylor, a wealthy cattleman of Nevada, accompanied by a friznd, went to Larkspur yesterday after- noon and took from the custody of his wife his two sons, aged 8 and 11 years. The affair was conducted so quietly that the mother had no suspicion of her loss until the deed was accomplished. Last night Mrs. Taylor made a vain search for the children that were awarded to her custody by the court at the time of the divorce. ‘When Taylor was a humble buyer of cattle all went well.

A decree of divorce was granted, and the custory of the children was given to the mother. She was granted a settlement of $10,000 and an allowance of $75 a month for the care of the children. Some months ago Mrs. Taylor, with the two children, left San Mateo_to take up her residence in Larkspur. Yesterday a message was received by her inviting her to spend the day with friends in San Francisco. She left her children with rrifinds and came to the city to enjoy her- self, Hardly had Mrs. Taylor left the sum- mer resort when her former husband ap- peared.

He grasped one youngster by the hand and his friend the other, and_the next train out brought them to San Frandiseo. It was some hours later when Mrs. Tay- lor heard that her children hade been taken from her. The people with whom she was stopping missed them about the usual time for meals and made inquiries. They learned that while the children wera playing in the street they were ap- proached by two men, and accompanied them to the train. So quietly was the matter accomplished that but little atten- tlon was paid to it. Alarmed at the long absence of the children, their temporary guardian noti- fled Mrs. Taylor and she returned to Larkspur at once. By persistent inquiry she declared that her former husband was the man who took her children, and endfla\'ured to head him off, but without avail. Taylor claims that his wife has, by fre. quently changing her place of residence, kept his children from him. He has other accusations, he says, to make, and now that his children are in his custody pro- poseg to take them out of the jurisdiction of tfe California courts. @ il @ DEATH CLAINIS DR, C. E.
