12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, ) B 1901. DEATH SUDDENLY TKES GROWNEY Chief Witness in Lar- ceny Case Dies in His Room. Poison May Have Killed Man Once Prominent as a Sand-Lotter. Theodore Growney, an engineer 72 years of age, was found dead in bed in his room at 146 Eleventh street yesterday morning shortly after 11 o'clock. The MorSue offi- clals were notified and Deputy Coroner Brown took charge of the body. The old man had been suffering for several years from heart disease and it is supposed that death resuited from that cause. A tumoler was found on a ta- ble at his bedside, however, with some liquid in it that smelled strongly of pep- permint. This liquid will be analyzed to ses if it contained poison. At was sald that Growney was very fond of pepper- | mint, and some peppermint lozenges-were | found in his room by the Deputy Coroner. Dr. Bacigalupl will make an autopsy, and if it is found that death was not due to natyral causes the stomach will'be sent |- 1o Chemist Green to be analyzed. i Mrs. Bush, the landlady of the house, says that she saw Growney Saturday af- ternoon. He was then in his usual jovial The complaint he had ever his heart was troubling him. His son William also saw him Sat- urday morning and he seemed to be all right then. Growney was the complaining witness in a case last week against Kittie Ma- loney, charged with grand larceny. He sccused her of stealing $140 from him while he was in a room in a lodginghouse st Eighth and Folsom streets Tuesday evening. He alleged that the woman and her brother, who has not yet been ar-| rested, came into the room, blew out the gas and took the money from him. The Woman was arrested, and the case is pending in Judge Cabaniss’ court. | Growney came into prominence during the sand-lot agitation more than twenty years ego, and was one of Denis Kear- ney’s lieutenants. He was arrested along with Kearney and kept in jail for six or | seven weeks at that tim THE REV. COOMBE SPEAKS : UPON ETERNAL JUSTICE | Says It Is the Greatest Attributs Enown to Men and That Its Vindication Is Certain. The Rev. Philip Coombe preached at the | Richmond Congregational Church last evening on the subject, “The Vindication | of Eternal Justice.” He said in substance: The question which we have asked ourselve is why did God noble man as jam Mc 3 dered 8o ¢ and treacherously believe that he could have prevented the trai- tor from carrying out his purpose, that he have inspired good men 1o foresee the | on of the criminal and to forefend his | n our city were influenced to | d deed. Why were not men t the covered hand and must | question that satisfies my mind e allowed the criminal to carry out his purpose against McKinley for the same rea- son that he permitted Judas to hand over Jesus | to his crucifiers, namely, that men might be filled_with a Gemand for justice, inspired to meinifest justice and that eterna! justice might be vindicated | I need not tell you that justice is none oo | in the world to-day. that it is often- vestied in our courts and buried be- | cgal technicalities; that it is ignored in | theology, set aside in politics and sometimes | forgotien by the press. But it 1s comforting in | our present sorrow to remember numerous his- torical {llustrations in which justice has been | exalted in human thought through some great tragedy like thet which is universally lamented end regretted to-dey Justice is the greatest attribute known to | men. It is the foundation upon which rests God's throne in the universe. The court of heaven is the court of justice, the attribute with which the sinner has to deal in seeking | salvation | 1f the sacrifice of our beloved and henored citizen hee flled us with & demand for justice #nd & desire to manifest it; If the sentence of his murderer is & vindication of eternal justie, | et ue thank Ged, even though we de se with tear-stained faces end breaking hearts — e On the Eround of the so-called May ‘-\n Jewish physiciane and midwives | nave been forbidden to resifle In the eoun- try of the Kiev distriet | The question is asked: CONENTIONS MEET TO-NIHT Republicans Not Happy Over the Slating of Wells. Resolution to Indorse Gage Will Be Presented to Delegates. —— | Republicans of she rank and file are not | enthusiastic over the news that Asa R. Wells is slated as the candidate for Mayor | on the party ticket. There was a good deal of talk last night to the effect that the school teachers would turn out and vigorously oppose his election. | Politictans refer to a recent interview in { which Wells practically indorsed the | Phelan administration. This utterance | ascribed to Wells is the topic of comment: | “And no one except he be wilfully blind will deny that the charter has given us | 2 government of which every citizen should feel proud.” If this is 30 every assault on the Phelan administration is out of place and the | plank in the Republican platform assail- ing the Board of Public Works is libel. “How_could Rg- publican oraters arraign the Phelan ad- ministration in the face of this utterance of the Republican nominee for Mayor?" It may not be too late for revision of the platform to harmonize with the senti- ments of Auditor Wells. It is said that a new plank will be added to the platform to-night in the shape of a resolution in- dorsing _the administration of Governor Gage. The resolutions submitted by the committee and adopted by the convention last Thursday night did not even hint of the existence of a Governor, or acknowl- edge that any such thing was known to politics and a State administration. Whatever may be the gossip touching the relations of The Call and Governor Gage, it cannot be said that this journal has given him the far away, cold over- | look.” He 18 not the brightest or sunniest chief executive the State has ever had but he is the only one we have now, an as he was nominated by a Republican State convention and elected by Republi- cans, he is entitled to the courtesy of mention by the Republican local conven- tion. Doubtless Dr Lawlor has friends i among the delegates, and they might con- gratulate the executive on the removal of Dr. Osborne from the Home of the Feeble Minded to give Lawjor an inning. There were no_indications last night that Burns and Herrin had changed the programme for Wells’ nomination. Be- fore a ballot is taken Mr. Wells will be called to the platform to pledge himself to support the nominees, and declare his allegiance to the principles of the party. It is understood that he will be courteous- | 1y requested to state the time and place of his meeting with Colonel Burns and a | W. F. Herrin, and tell the delegates what took place. it goes without saying that the request will be courteously presented, for Chairman Riordan would not permit the venerable aspirant for the honors of Mayor_to be rudely addressed. Many of the delegates hold, however, that in all fairness, they are entitled to know all | about the interview, if the topic discussed related to the aspirant's nomination for Mayor by the Republican convention. In the Republican camp last night there were many remarks of this nature: “If the Democrats nominate Harry Creswell or Franklin K. Lane, Wells will be de- feated.” There is an apprehension that the Au- ditor has not the strength, the stamina nor vigor that conditions require. All the citizens are saying that the Republicans ought to put u\) a strong man for Mayor, | " Politicians who claim to be in posses- sion of inside points make this forecast | of the ticket: Mayor, Asa R, Wells; Auditor, Harry Baehr; Treasurer, W. % Tiffany; County Clerk, Hert Mahoney; Tax Collector, Ben Saiomon; Publie strator, John Farnham; District Attor. 3 G, Fisk; Ciiy and County Attorney, W, Belcher; Bheriff, John Lackmann; Cor- oner, Dr, Leffier It seems to be gettled that Charles A, Low will be one of the Police Judges, Should the manipulators change their minds to-day concerning the advisability of pominating Mr, Wells for Mayor, a re- vislon of the programme would follow, It wae rumored late last night that the ae- tlon of the econference at the Palace Hotel iy the indersement of Wells was not final The Demeeratie leeal eonvention will meet at Odd Fellows' Hall this evening At no other place in S Shoes be bought.

Mary's Cathedral and then to Holy Cross Cemetery. The entire regiment turned out, belng accompanied by {ts band and its drum corps. The brief services at the house were conducted by Father Philip O'Ryan chaplain of the regiment. The funeral cortege was an imposing one ahd at- tracted much attention along the route to the cathedral. Ahead marched the band, Dlrtylnfi Chopin’s funeral arch; then came the firing squad of Cnmpnndy with arms reversed, acting as special escort to the remains. Carriages with the relatives of the de- ceased followed the hearse, which was drawn by four horses draped with white netting. ~The casket was covered with a silk American flag, the honorary pall bearers marching on each side of the hearse. The pall bearers were: Major J. E. Power, Major J. P. Duffy, Captain J. Heggerty and Captain I. D. Dwyer of the League of the Cross Cadets and Thomas H. Fallon, Philip J. Lawler, Thomas J. Spillane and Edward J. Con- voy of Ignatian Council, Young Men's Institute. Six sergeants of - the cadet iment acted as body bearers.

Father Prendergast ' conducted the solemn burial service, being assisted by the full choir. Archbishop Riordan was prevented by illness from being present and the funeral sermon was eloquently preached by Father Phillp O'Ryan. In part Father O'Ryan said: This is a day of intense grief and sorrow to all of us. The angel of death has removed from us one who was beloved by all. He rep- resented all that Is grand in Christlan virtues. He was an ideal Christian. I shall not try to eulogize his memory or pay a tribute to his virtues at this time, for our grief is too sacred. On some other occasion, when our grief is less intense, when we. shall view his perfect young life, then we can pay full justice to him whose remains lie bofore us. When we consider his 1ife and all that he did, when we think of what he might have accomplished, it is difficult to understand the ways of God. But there are two ways of judging of life and death. When A man wins public favor and passes away in ‘old age, the world thinks his, life was a suc- cess and that he has not lived In vain.

His Was a Spotless Life, A spotless 1ife In more than years, more than tlches, mote that the appreciation of the world. The great thing for a man to do 18 to lead a pure life and to serve God. Ouf léader lived #uch a life, and if the words of Holy Writ can be applled to mortal man, they surely can be to hitn wWhose remalins lle before us now. He was beloved by all and was a dutiful son. He never committed an act to arouse anger in his par- ents or friends. He tried in all ways to lead the {deal Christian life. He raised the stand- ard for others that they might walk in the paths of temperance and purity. His life was short, but It was a perfect one. God called him, ‘but his memory will be cherished in fu. ture years. We must be reconciled to God's will, for he has called him for his own. Let us pray for our. departed captain 4nd leader, | not alone to-day but in time to come. Think of the example he set and faithfully follow in his footsteps. If his greatest wish could be granted to-day it would be for all present to lead true Christian lives, so that when. death comes, as come it must, it will ind you all as prepared for the call as he was when he an- swered the summons of his Master. At the close of the sermon the rela- tives of the deceased, consisting of the parents, two brothers 'and two sisters of Colonel Power, were conducted to waiting carriages. The casket was tenderly car- ried to the hearse and the funeral cortege was re-formed. The procession slowly wended its way to the depot at Four- teenth and Valencia streets, headed by the band, playing a funeral march. A special train conveyed the funeral party to Holy Cross Cemetery, where the inter- ment took place. Father O'Ryan con- ducted the service at the graveside and the casket was lowered to its final resting |- place, while volleys were fired over the grave and the buglers of the regiment sounded the beautiful call of “taps.” Hundreds of the friends of the deceased went to the cemetery to take part in the last rites. . mineral acids—reg’ly 25c bottle Our easy pay- ment . plan makes it absurd to wear ill-fit- ting, poorly- tailored, out-of- style clothes.
