TACOMA, Aug. 8—At the Presidio of San Fra years ago Dr. E. M. miner examined for the | Eben Boce, | wife murder to- morrow morning. He then pronounced | Boice insane and refused to pass him for | enlistment. General Miller and Adjutant | Harris protested against this action, as Boice was a cornetist and w needed for the Fourth Cavalry band.

Some years ago Miss Nevander lived with her parents in San Francisco. It was proposed among some of her girl friends that they should form a little club of bachelor maldens to which no matron could be admitted and m which member- ship should cease when matrimony eclipsed love for their little organization. It was named the Tirra Lirra Club, and the organization has been kept up for some time. Miss Nevander drifted out of the club circle to some extent when she moved to Oakland. Her mother died and her father went to Alaska, leaving her alone. She was taken sick some d; ago, and when death came no relative was at her bed- side. Then her friends remembered her and her former clubmates assumed charge of the funeral arrangements. Everything that loving hands could do was done, and to-day, when the funeral cortege entered the cemetery, the bachelor girls accom- pgnied the remains of their friend and themselves bore her tenderly to the grave. The six young ladles who were appointed by the club to officlate as pall- bearers were Miss Rose Hunt, Miss Agnes hkman, Miss Nellie Ahkman, Miss Katherine Petersen, Miss Mary McHugh and Miss Annle Allen. The floral plece sent by the Tirra Lirra was the club’s embiem, a heart of sweet peas and roses resting on a gracefully constructed stand. The funeral services were quite simple, being conducted by Rev. J. N. Anderson, pastor of St. Paul's English Lutheran Church. of Their JSON UNABLE 10 GET A BACE Engagement WithIndian Harbor Yacht Club Is Called Off.

The runaway started about sundown. The dismayed people of Lytton ran down to the wharf just in time to see the big barge swing around the turn for the can- | yon at express-train speed. The tele- graph operator ran to his office and reeled | off a rush message to Kanaka, eight miles below. He wanted the river dammed and | some ~ obstructions put in the way, so | that the barge would be hung up. | The operator had hardly | message before the wire ticked back a re- ply that the barge had gone past like a | snowslide working overtime, and the only | thing that could stop her would be the | | side of a mountain.

Every Officer Who Was on Brooklyn Will Testify Be- fore Naval Court. —_— Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.—Rear Ad- miral Henry L. Howlson, retired, selected as a member of the Schley court of In- quiry, has never according to naval of- ficials expressed an opinion as to the mer- its of the Schley-Sampson controversy. Before orders were issued assigning him as a member of the court the Navy De- partment ascertained from him that he was without bias and was prepared to give an honest, fair decision. The alleged statements made by Rear Admiral Howl- son were considered at the Navy Depart- ment to-day, but its officials decltned to admit whether they had been brought to the attention of the rear admiral. So far as known at the department the assignment of Rear Admiral Howison was entirely acceptable ta Rear Admiral Schley. His name was among the list of officers under consideration, which includ- ed Rear Admirals Belknap, Jouett, Gher- ardl and Miller, retired, and Rear Admiral Farquhar. Any one of these, the depart- ment was informed, would be satisfactory to Rear Admiral Schley. The Navy Department was advised by Rear Admiral Remey to-day that he had ordered Ensign Wiillam: B. Wells from the gunboat Frolic and Boatswain Dennis J. O’'Connell to report to the Bureau of Navigation. These two officers served on board the Brooklyn throughout the war with Spain. Boatswain O'Connell will testify that Admiral Schley directed him to hoist the signal prepared in advance by Admiral Sampson ordering the ships to close in and engage as soon as possible and en- deavor to sink the Spanish vessels or force them to run ashore. Practically every officer who was on the Brooklyn will brought to Washington to testify before the court. ] SILVER-STREET BOYS HONOR THE ALEXANDERS The youthful members of the boys’ free |library of the Silver-street Kindergarten Association gave a delightful reception at the kindergarten, 64 Silver street, last evening in honor of the return to this city iof Mr. and Mrs. C.

PRI A cutting affray which is surrounded by mystery occurred last night on Second street, and though the man who was wounded and the man who is supposed to have done the cutting are both in custody the police are unable to gather any infor- mation as to the cause. John Lunsky, who is supposed to have done the cutting, says he is innocent, though a razor was found in his hand ‘when he was arrested, and Edgar Calkins, whose head was almost severed from his body by the cut, avers that the police have not got the right man. This is as much as either man will say. Calkins walked from the scene of the cutting to a peint on Third street, near Jessie, when he fainted from loss of blood. He was observed by Special Offi- cer Kelly, who summoned Officer Fraher and they 'had the desperately wounded man removed to the Emergency Hospital. A hanger-on in the neighborhood told the police officers that he had seen a man rush into a saloon on the corner of Third and Mission streets with a razor In hand. When they entered the place the only man who had a razor in his posses- sion was Lunsky, and they placed him under arrest. Lunsky denied his guilt, but the police belleve that they have the man who did the cutting. He admitted having cut a mar a few minutes before he was ar- rested, but claimed to have donme it in seif-defense. When he saw Calkins at the hospital he clalmed that he was not tha man he had used the razor on. Calkins, when asked to identify Lunsky, said that he was not the man who had injured him, and they both refused to say anything else. The doctors at the hospital say that Calkins’ life can be saved, though he is very weak from loss of blood. e cut is on the left side of the head and extends from within a_half inch of his mouth around the back of his neck and upward almost to the top of his head. Lunsky is a miner from Virginia City and Calkins is a cigar-maker. tectives Ryan and Whittaker have been detailed on the case. ——— e May Be Wanted for Murder.
