The con- vention will probably organize at once and adjourn for two weeks. It is said that this hall was engaged at the sug- gestion of Max Goldberg and Ascheim. As the convention will consist of 350 dele- gates there will not be much room for outside lovers of sonorous oratory who will assemble to listen to Boss Martin Kelly's great speech. Augustus Tilden, who has been mentioned as a candidate for chairman of the convention, says that he is not an aspirant for that honor. BEd- mund Tauzsky and T. P. Riordan are out-and-out candidates for the chairman- ship. The former is backed by the For- tieth and the latter by the Forty-second District. The Thirty-sixth District delegation or- ganized Tuesday evening by the election of Frank French chairman and Myron W. Littlefield secretary. The delegation adopted the following resolutions: Resolved, That we, the delegates-elect from the Thirty-sixth Assembly District to the com- ing Republican municipal convention, do here- by pledge ourselves to abide by the .de. cision of the majority of the delegates of sald district, and that the vote of the delega- tion be announced as a unit by the chairman, unless otherwise provided by the majority of said convention. Resolved, That in the event of any delegate elected to' the coming Republican ~municipal convention being unable to attend then the chairman of the delegation is hereby empow- ered to cast the vote for him, as provided by the primary election law. The directors of the Republican Pri- mary League will meet this evening to consider questions relating to the mu- nicipal campaign. To-morrow evening at Native Sons’ Hall, on Seventeenth street, near Valencia, there will be another con- ference of anti-boss delegates to the Re- publican convention. Henry Bienfleld, secretary of the Iro- quols Club, is in communication with David B. Hill of New York. re- garded as the real and true Moses of the Democratic party. He will visit San Fran- cisco early in October. Warrors of the Iroquois tribe will journey as far east as Ogden to grasp his hand and tender the pipe of peace. ? Max Popper, State organizer of the Iroquois, will leave California for-the East some time next week. He will tarry at Lincoln, Neb., to shed tears with W. J. Bryan. After the weeping and the fond farewells he will resume his east- ward_journey to the shrine of David Ben- nett Hill. . The municipal campaign is not wholly devoid of humorous features. The report is in circulation that some one has been suggesting S. C. . late of the late Grand Hotel party, for Mayor. The strength of that party in the convention is estimated at from three to five dele- gates. Frank McGowan is likely to get the support of the solid three, four or five for District Attorney. An equal support may be given to Irving for Mayor. ord comes_from Southern California that Truman Reeves may encounter ob- stacles in his campaign for rehomination for State Treasurer. A. G. Kendall, As- sessor of San Bernardino, is an active candidate to represent the Fourth Dis- trict in the State Board of Equalization. Politicians fancy that one place on the ticket is all that San Bernardino can rea- sonably expect. Low Rates for the Great Sacramento Fair.

My folks did not know of the re- lation I bore to Thrasher. I was not going to leave Thrasher because I had ceased to care for him. I thought the world of him, but he was jealous and quarrelsome all the time and I couldn’t stand it.”” Thrasher left two letters for Collector of Internal Revenue Lynch. They were only official reports, however, and threw no light on the suicide. Collector Lynch when seen yesterday said that he could assign no reason for the suicide, unless it was illhealth. Thrasher was not well and was afraid that he had contracted con- sumption. Thrasher, according to a story told by some of his friends, had been melanchcly and despondent since the death of Miss Mildred Clarke, who committed suicide several years ago, while temporarily In- sane. He had known the young lady from childhood and it was belleved by some that they were engaged to be married. The young man’s body was removed from the Morgue yesterday and taken to an undertaking parlor. Thrasher's father is not at present in Milwaukee, but it is expected that telegrams will reach him some time to-day. It is supposed that he will order the Lody embalmed and sent East for interment.

SUITS, B.O¥ 5 uSeAE TH O R BURGLARS LOOT HARDWARE STORE Enter From the Rear and Stea.l $1000 Worth of Goods. Bogart's Establishment at 1346 Market Street Plundered. —_— Burglars galned an entrance to the hard- ware store of S. B. Bogart at 1346 Mar- ket street early yesterday morning and escaped with $1000 worth of property. From the appearance of their work they were well acquainted with the stock in the store, for nothing but the most ex- pensive articles were taken. From a small yard in the rear of the store the men sawed away one of the iron bars that served as a guard for the win- dow and by wrenching it out of place left a space big enough to crawl through. Once inside the thieves put on some hunt- ers’ game coats and filled the pockets with knives, scissors and razors. Fishing bas- kets were pressed into service and loaded with the booty. A valuable Winchester rifle and a shotgun were taken. Two re- volvers found their way into the hands of the crooks and a box of cartridges found broken open showed that the weapons had been loaded by the men before leaving. ‘When the store was opened yesterday morning evidence of the burglary made itself manifest on all sides. Show cases contalning articles of value were gpened and emptied, while others with cheaper goods were despoiled only of the more ex- pensive portion of their contents. Further investigation showed that the thieves, who had evidently taken their time in completin their work, had broken into the cash register. Rather than ring the bell in opening it they forced it_with a jimmy only to find it empty. The contents of the desks and drawers in the office were scattered about the place, but no attempt had been made to open the safe. SUPREME COURT DENIES WALKER’S LAST APPEAL Young Man Convicted of Embezzle- ment From American Tract So- ciety Must Serve Sentence. The Supreme Court yesterday denied the petition of George Walker, convicted of embezzlement from the American Tract Soclety, for a writ of mandamus staying the execution of his sentence of one year, imposed by Judge Dunne last Monday. This marks the close of a legal fight which has been carried on in the State courts since 1887. No effort has been ‘| spared to save the young man from a term_ in the penitentiary, but litigation has kept him in the County Jail longer than he would have to serve in Folsom had he accepted the original sentence and secured the usual number of credits. Walker was arrested in the fall of 1897 | and after conviction was sentenced by | Judge Wallace on February 6, 1898, to four vears in State’s Prison. A motion for a new trial was denied and an appeal was taken. The defendant's counsel took advantage of every means by which liti- gation might be continued and the months drifted on without important develop- ments until September 30, 1298, when Judge Wallace stayed all proceedings. From that time until June 9, 1899, Walker was forgotten in the County Jail. Judge Dunne then ordered that the original sentence be executed. An appeal to the Supreme Court gained a new trial for the prisoner. A few weeks ago he was again arraigned, and, fallowln% a conviction, ‘was sentenced by Judge Dunne to a year at San Quentin, The attempt to stay pro- ceedings by petition to the Supreme Court has falled and nothing more can be done by Walker except to serve his sentence. The young man was local agent for the American Tract Society of New York and an investigation of his accounts showed that he was short 3. It was never clearly shown that the defendant appro- priated the funds to his own use and Judge Wallace in sentencing him inti- mated that there was grave doubt as to the sufficiency of evidence. —_—— SIXTY-FOUR DOGS FOR SUNDAY COURSIN G CARD Class Stake Drawn for Union Park.

An order was made by Judge Hebbard yesterday dissolving the theatrical co- partnership between Alf Ellinghouse and Samuel C. Mott. Ellinghouse sued Mott for a dissolution of the copartnership, which was formed early in 1800. Elling- house alleged that shortly after the part- nership was formed and entered into the management of the Alhambra Mott ab- sented himself from the business and that his neglect resulted in a loss of $6000, all of which the plaintiff alleged he was forced to pay. In his answer Mott alleged that he had agreed with Ellinghouse not to open the Alhambra until October 1, 1900; that act- ing under this agreement he went away with a traveling company; that in his ab- sence Ellinghouse opened the Alhamb:ra and informed him that the partnersnip ‘was at an end; that Ellinghouse realized a net profit of $20,000, which Mott asserted was not divided with him in accordance with the terms of their contract and that he had lost $5000 on the venture. He put in_a counter claim for this amount. Yesterday morning the attorneys rep- resenting the litigants appeared before Judge Hebbard with a stipulation signed by Ellinghouse and Mott agreeing that the c(g)!ttnership should be dissolved and that Ellinghouse should assume sall labil- ities of the business and collect all the assets. Judge Hebbard ordered judgment entered in accordance with this stipula- n. —_——— Benefit for School Fund.

Jackson, United States Consul at | Patras, Greece, has made the following re- port to the Commercial Museum: Existing weather conditions more than sub- | stantiate the predictions forwarded fhe lith | ultimo with regard to the coming currant crop of Greece. There has fallen some rain during the past month, but the wet weather has in no case been followed by excessive heat, so that cnly from the furthest outlying districts is there reported the presence of ‘‘Perronospor- ous,” and then from a lack of proper care and to no appreciable extent. Shipment of the cur- rant crop will commence about August 20, after the Government appraisers have esti- mated the crop and fixed the rate of reten- tion, which will be this year probably 15 per cent. Conservative estimates place the crop at 130,000 to 150,000 tons: more liberal estimates raise the yield to 160,000. Making due allow- ance for exaggeration the crop at this writ- ing gives every promise of belng ome of the heaviest in many years and of s very superfor quality. Prices will open at about 20 shillings per hundredweight, but will fall considerably when the shipping begins. ————— The early cucumber takes a fall out of a man after he gets it down. | | the small type above without artis ficial aid, your eyes probably need immediate atteatien.
