She boarded the train at Emigrant Gap, and her ticket reads from that point to | Redding. When the train reached the | mole at 5 o'clock the Pullman sleeper in which the would-be suicide was riding was switched up to the First street and Broadway station, only four blocks from the Recelving Hospital, and she was taken in a carriage to the hospital for treatment. Her fellow passengers knew nothing further of the matter than that the woman suddenly fell, writhing and goaning with pain, to the car floor.

AKLAND, Aug. 3.—With a record of instant success {n her chosen profession on the theatrical stage, Miss Pearl Humphrey, the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Hum- phrey of this city, has just received word from New York that she will be expected te return to the metropolis at once to re- sume her place with the company which will open the season there in “A Fatal Wedding.” Miss Humphrey was called home by the iliness of her father. She has been with her parents at the family residence, 126 Athol avenue, but expects to leave for the East next Wednesday to be ready for the opening of the theatrical season. Miss Humphrey is one of many Oak- land girls, born here and educated in the schools and academies of the City of Ozks, who have attained a large measu: of success in the theatrical world. She ACCEPTS CALL T0 NEW PULPIT Dr. Vosburgh Will Come to First Baptist Church. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 3. The announcement was made to-day that Rev. H. J. Vosburgh has accepted the call to the First Baptist Church pas- torate as successor to Rev. C. H. Hobart, who went to Pasadena. The formal de- cision will be given to the congregation at to-morrow morning’s services. Dr. Vosburgh, it is understood, was willing to take up the work here, provided the church met his views concerning the salary which should be paid. The original offer to the Michigan clergyman was $2500 a year, but by formal vote the church members increased that to $3000, and this figure was agreeable to the distingulshed Baptist preacher and tkeological teacher. As soon as the final arrangements have been completed, Dr. Vosburgh will leave for a month's vacation in the mountains. He intends to take a breathing_spell among the higher altitudes of the Sierra Nevagas. that he may be invigorated for his new field of activity in California. This was planned unofficially in order that the new pastor-elect might have the rest which he declared was necessary, as he had not enjoyed a day of vacation during ten vears of active labor in the East. The members of the church are much gratified over the selection of Dr. Vos- burgh, who has high standing in the Baptist denomination of the TUnited States. He occupies a prominent position as a theologlan and has given to the re- Jiglous world valuable contributions in the Shape of literary productions. ¥or sale—Splendid upright piano, medium size, $60; also lot of good furniture cheap.

Brandes, the Berkeley child slayer, who was taken to Folsom Peniten- tiary yesterday to begin serving his ten- year sentence, played his trump card on arrival at the pen by requesting to be as- signed to the band in preference to the quarry. Captain Murphy told the enterprising convict that his fame as a musician had preceded him to Folsom and that a fine new shovel had been_ tuned for his use. “‘He must think this is a murderer's fiaradise and probably expected a golden arp to twang on,” said Murphy to Dep- uty Sheriff Striker. who took Brandes to| Folsom. ‘“‘He'll twang on the rock pile a while.

Similarity in Names Makes Her Scheme Easy to Carry Out. e BERKELEY, Aug. 3.—According to John M. Creed a pension due him from this Government as a veteran in the Civil War has been drawn for the last five Years by a woman who claims to be his widow. Creed has just discovered the fraud through a specfal agent from the Pension Bureau, who has been investi- gating the case for several months. The agent declares Creed to be the rightful pensioner. Four years ago the veteran applied for aid from the Government. His application lay among hundreds of others month after month and then came the announcement that his widow had been receiving the money. Investigation followed with re- markable results. “For five years,” said Creed to-night, “my pension has been drawn by the widow of my cousin, whose name was John M. €reed, exactly the same as mine. The woman's name was Sally Miller be- fore she married and she is now living in Fairfield, Lancaster County, Ohio. She knew of my enlistment and took advan- tage of that knowledge and of her hus- band’s name to get my pension. Her hus- band was dead when she first applied. I do not expect to get back pay, but I expect matters to be straightened im- mediately and the illegal payments stopped. The pension amounts to $ a month.” Creed joined the E‘lghti\:-fiflh Ohio Regi- ment on a three months’ enlistment in | At the end of his time he joined the 1862. Seventeenth Ohio and remained in the latter regiment until the close of the war. He_ marched with Sherman to the sea and fought at Chickamauga, Stone River, Buzzard Roof and other places. He was wounded at Chickamauga. Creed resides at the corner of Rose and California streets, this city, and is a farmer. Last of the Reichstadters. ‘While Mme. Sarah Bernhardt and M. Coquelin are applauded nightiy at Ge- neva in “L’Alglon.” news comes from Warsaw of the death of Varabowski, an old soldier of the Napoleonic campaigns, and said to be the last of the partisans or adherents of the young Duke of Reichs- tadt, Varabowski, who attained the rank of lieutenant in the Grande Armee, and who fought at Waterloo, reached the age of 105 years. A Pole by birth, he threw his lot with the French, and joined a se- cret society of Bonapartists formed in the reign of Louis XVIII. by Berton and two other superior officers who had served under Napoleon. The conspiraters called themselves the Knights of Liberty, and in 1822 they went about boldly proclaiming their intention to restore the empire, with | the Aiglon, or the Duke of Reichstadt, at its head. The knights were joined by many of the Old Guard, as well as by nu- merous recruits, so _that they formed a respectable army, of which Berton was made general. They operated in in the west of France, and actually took several towns in_the ‘name of Napoleon II. Near Saumur, Var- abowski, acting as aid-de-camp to Berton, | and assisted by others, posted proclama- | tions in villages. and called on all defend- ers of the empire to rally around Knights of Liberty. At Saumur _itself, however, the Knights came to grief. The Mayor of that town, a strong Royalist, assembled the garrison of the military school, and then delayed Berton by ne- gotiations until re-enforcements arrived. The Knights did not o.fer any resistance, but retreated as fast as they could. Nearly all the lcaders of the movement | were captured and tried. Berton was shot, and his youngar companions, like Lieuten- ant Varabowski, were banished. The Pole went home to his own country after this disastrous attemrt to restore the em- pire and to make the Aiglon a real Na- poleon IT. The conspirators were tried at the assizes of the Department of the Vi- enne, and legal documents still exist to,| show the part played by Varabowski and the others in the abortive effort of 1822, just ten years before the young Duke of Reichstadt passed awa Paris Corre- spondence London Telegraph.
