Tompkins, Celebrated at Noon Yesterday---Miss P. Dunn = ISS GRACE GRANT GRIMES and Lieutenant Daniel D. Tompkins were married yester- day at noon at the home of the bride’s father, Lieutenant Col- onel Grimes, at the Presidio. The wedding of the young couple was the closing chapter of a beautiful love story, in which the hero, who had loved the fair maid of his choice since the early age of 12, finally wooed and won her, al- though he was then only a non-commis- ioned sergeant stationed at Havana and she was his captain’s daughter. The arrangements for the wedding ves- terday were in keeping with the pretty romance. In the drawing-room, where the ceremony was performed, marguer- ites (the class flower of the school from which the young bride but recently grad- uated) and yellow chrysanthemums—com- plimentary to the cavalry—were the only flowers used in the effective decorations. The corner of the room, where an altar was erected, was decorafed all in white. The priedieu was covered.in white; tho pillows were of white satin and the young couple knelt to receive the blessing of “haplain Brander of the Fifteenth Cav- ., who performed the ceremony. The huge wreath of marguerites, which was swung over their heads, looked like a halo. In the dining-room and hall red and yel- , the colors of the artillery and cav- were prettily mingled. in the hall flowers helped to carry out the effect, but in the dining-room only flags were used for decoration. Guidons and banners, that our brave boys had followed through the Cuban war, draped the walls, and overhead, forming a canopy, were the flags of the artillery and cavalry. There were neither brides- malids nor groomsmen. To the strains of and H. Macfarlane Sail Away g -+ Lieutenant and Mrs. Tompkins left last evening for Jefferson Barracks.

Giles and His Wife Lose Their Lives in Flames. —o. Oakland Office S8an Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 14. ‘W. C. Giles, formerly superintendent of the Oakland Water Company in this city, and his wife were burned to death Tues- day night in a cabin near Cisco, where they had been residing since Mr. Giles took charge of William J. Dingee’s mines near that place. Meager details of the distressing accident have been received here by relatives of the unfortunate cou- ple. Arrangements have been made for the shipment to Oakland of the remains. So far as could be learned, Mr. and Mrs. Giles had retired for the night and had left a lighted lamp on a table near their bed. The lamp was upset and the burning oil ignited the floor and the flames spread so quickly that neither of the cou- ple had a chance to escape. It is be- lieved they were rendered helpless by suffocation from smoke. So quickly dfd the fire run its deadly course that miners living near the Giles cabin had not a chance to attempt a rescue after they had been aroused by the glare and crackle of the flames. As soon as the occupants of the burned cabin could be reached life was practi- cally extinct. No physician was at hand to assist or to render any relief and the nearest place for such attendance to be had was at Cisco, fifteen miles distant, and over a rough mountainous trail. The fire also destroyed the mine store- house, located close to the Giles cabin. Death came to both of the burned peo- ple soon after they had heen removed from the ruins of their destroyed home. The fatality has many circumstances of peculiar sadness surrounding it. By the death of Mr. and Mrs. Giles a little daughter six years of age is left an or- phan. The parents had not taken her with them into the mountains because of the rough surroundings and the fact that durlnf the winter time they would be practically cut off from communication because of snow. The remains will arrive here to-morrow in charge of Edward McGary, secretary of the Contra Costa Water Company, an old friend of the family, and of James Richards of this ¢ity, a brother of Mrs. iles. Mr. Giles had been handling the Dingee mines for two years. He had resided in Oakland for twelve years, most of that time being in charge of the Oakland Water Company before its consoli lon with the Contra Costa Company. Three weeks ago Mr. Giles was in this city on a business trip to purchase mining ma- chinery. He was preparing to install a quartz stamp mill on the property and to develop what appears to be a rich pros- ect. er. Giles was 45 years of age and a na- tive of England. The surviving daughter has been residing with Mrs. M. Duffy, Oakland avenue. BIG GOLD DISCOVERY IN THUNDER MOUNTAIN Geological Expert Says the District Is One of the Richest Ever Opened. BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 14.—According to Professor E. A. Meade, the geological ex- pert, who has spent two weeks In the Thunder Mountain district in Idaho in- vestigating for the Oregon Short Line Railway the reports concerning the rich- ness of the gold deposits there, the dis- trict is one of the richest that has ever been opened. Professor Meade followed the main ore body underground for 200 feet in one di- rection and for 245 feet in a general way at right angles to the other. He could find no ends, top or bottom to the body. Running through the main body is a vein four feet thick of free milling ore that is literally plastered with gold and which will run into the thousands in value. Pro- fessor Meade said there appeared to be a great reef of gold-bearing material rua- ning through the country. The main body of the ore, Thunder Mountain, according to Professor Meade, will probably Tun as low in value as $7 to §10 a ton, but it is in such immense quantities that it can literally be quarried out. GOLD AND SILVER ORE FOUND NEAR ALMADEN Ledge Uncovered in a Mine Supposad to Be Rich in Quick: silver. SAN JOSE, Nov. 14—Gold and silver ore in paying quantities has been found a few miles east of New Almaden, in a mine owned by W. H. Adams of this city. The ledge will assay from $ to $650 in gold and from $3 to $6 in silver per ton. R. B. Harper, a mining expert, has gone to the mine, which was supposed to be rich in quicksilver, to examine it for San Francisco capitalists. A hanging wall to a ledge had been encountered, and the wérkmen were at a loss to know what it was. On_examination Harper found It to be a blossom rock and _decomposed osen, carrying iron sulphurets. He rought some of it to the city and last night made a crude assay, and found it filled with native gold and silver. BRIGADIER GENERAL HALL GOES ON RETIRED LIST 14. — Brigadier General Robert B.

(o} REVOLVER DOES NOT SCARE HER Miss 'Ellis Brockaway Robbed by Hooded Footpad. Oakland Young Lady Grants Highwayman's Request Not to Scream. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 14. ‘While walking home at 11 o'clock to- pight -from a class-meeting Miss x~:m3 rockaway, a High School student, 17 years of age and residing at 767 Thir- | teenth street, was held up by a masked robber on Thirteenth street, between Grove and Castro streets, and relleved of a purse containing $10. The young lady was marvelously cool throughodt the un- expected encounter, and during the mo- ment’s colloquy with her hooded assailant tried unavailingly to throw away her re'- icmfi which she was carrying in her hand. Miss_Brockaway was walking briskly down Thirteenth street and was half-way across the block when she was suddenly confronted by the footpad. His face was concealed by a white handkerchief, which was drawn tightly across his rose,’ hiding his features helow the eyes. A slouch | hat, drawn down upon his’ forehead, co ered the upper part of the footpad's face. | As he stepped out from behind a cluster | of trees the masked highwayman, pistol | in hand, stopped the young womau, com- | manding, “Now, don't you seream, but give me your purse.” No Intention of Screaming. “I have no intention of screaming.’ coolly replied Miss Brockaway, maintain- ing her presence of mind, despite the|R startling appearance of the robber. 1 Then she tried to fling the purse inta the grass plat at the sidewalk’s edge. The robber detected the movement of her arm and grabbed her hand, snatching the purse away. There was not another word spoken by either victim or robber. As soon as the footpad got the purse he slowly turned around and walked lelsure- ly up the street, turning a corner and dk i - appearing in the darkness. Miss Brock- | away waited until her disturber was out | of sight and then hastened to the police station, where she reported the hold-up. Takes Bag Out of Her Hand. “Of course 1 was a trifle startied,” she said, “but there was not a . bit of sense in | making a fuss, especially as the robber | had indicated that he might be compelled } to use a pistol if I made any outery. He must have been surprised himself when I told him that I had no intention of do- ing any screaming. I thought that he might be sufficiently distracted not to no- tice my attempt to throw away my purse, but before I could get rid of it he had taken the little leather bag out of my hand. There were very few words spoken between us, and it was all over in a mo- ment. After the footpad got away, [ thought the best thing to do was to tell | the olice as quickly as possible. So in- stead of running right home I went to the | station.” Because of the darkness Miss Brockaway had a poor view of the robber. He was of medium size, and very quiet in his manner and tone. The police are search- ing the city for the gentlemanly high- wayman. Refuses New Yorker a License.

HAMATANS WANT CHINESE LAROR Suggest Free Admission of Mongolians to the Islands. —_— Delegation Discusses Terri~ torial Affairs With See~ retary Gage. o WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—W. O. Smith, J. B. Atherton, F. M. Swansey and R. P. Rithel, citizens of Hawail, called on tha President to-day to discuss with him the condition of industrial affairs in the Ha- walian Islands. They told the President that Hawall generally was opposed to reciprocity arrangements between the United States and Cuba, which would ad- mit sugar from that island at a low cus= toms rate. The interests of Hawailans n this respect, they declared, are identical with those of the beet sugar growers of the West and the cane sugar producers of the South, and they expect to join with them if the.matter should dome to an is- sue during the approaching session of Congress. The delegntion subsequently called on Secretary Gage and discussed with himy the labor situation in the Hawallan Isi- ands. The sugar plantations, they toll the Secretar were becoming less pro- ducti r because of the plant- el inability to secure desirabie :labor The solution of the question, as the dele- gation viewed it, was the free admission to the isiands of Chinese, at least for a time, as they were the best laboters among all those who had been tried on the sugar plantations. Representative Long of Kansas, who is a member of the Ways and Means Com- mittee of the House, was one of President oosevelt's callers to-day. He joined with his Eastern colleagues on the committee in opposing a revision of the tariff. He believes that any attempt to lower thw duti on particular schedules, such as Babcock proposes, would lead inevitably to a general revision of the tariff, and this, he says. his people do not favor. He says, however, that there Is a strong sen-, timent in his tion in faver of reciproc- ty. BOAT COMES ASHORE WITHOUT ITS OWNER Scn of Late Admiral Spotts Believed to Have Perished in Humboldt Bay. BEUREKA, Nov. 14.—T. T. Spotts, a Gov= ernment employe and son of the late Ad~ miral Spotts of the United States navy. is missing and his friends fear that he has_been drowned in_the inner entrance to Humboldt Bay. His boat has come ashore in a wrecked condition on the north spit, It is supposed a strong tide carried the boat over the bar, where it was overturned and its occupant drowned.

He left the landing at 5:30 o'clock for his home on the south spit, where he has charge of the Government reservation. The missing man is about 50 years of age and has been in the employ of the Government for many years. Temple T. Spotts, son of the late Rear Admiral James H. Spotts, was for a pumber of years a resident of this eity, where he leaves numerous friends to mourn his sudden death. The young man had spent almost a year in superintend- ing the Government work at the mouth of Humboldt Bay and was expected to return soon to his mother in this eity. BANE DIVORCE CASE COMES TO A CLOSZ Court Takes Under Advisement Ac- tion in Which Wife Acted as Her Own Counsel. WILLOWS, Nov. 14.—The Bane divore> case, which has been heard behind closed doors in the Superior Court for several days past, came to an énd to-day and was submitted to Judge Pirkey on briefs. P. D. Bane, the defendant, who is a_brother of Rev. A. C. Bane of San Francisco, did not introduce any evidence to comtest his wife's prayer for divorce, but he strenu- | ously opposes her demand for a portion of his property. Sane claims that an d wife in 1397, by which he gave her e in property, is a waiver of all her rights ta any of his holdings, Bane testified that he would be willing to give a monthly al- lowance toward the support of his tw> children. The wife's point is that a re quest for her to come back and live witn hit, made in 1900, abrogates the separa- tion agreement. Judge Pirkey ha< taken the case under advisement. During the proceedings Mrs. Bane acted as her own attorney. ache in two or three months. DELD McLAUGHLIN, for a month. However, I am pleased Alled our expectations. v)lugnured. ’Nd.
