Jackson Williams, the colored man who was convicted of robbery by a jury fn Judge Cook’s court Monday, appeared for sentence yesterday. He robbed Harry | Carlson, a sailor, in the early morning of | December 7. The Judge sentenced him to serve twenty years in Folsom peniten- | tiary. In passing sentence the Judge sald | that robbery and burglary were crimss. | committed by men who would not hesi- tate at murder. Both crimes were preva- lent in the city and he was determined to lend his aid in putting a stop to them by | inflicting the severest penalty, He was | satisfied in Willlams’ case that if Carison had offered any resistance he would onily have stopped at murdering him. As showing the number of these cases recenuy, Captain Seymour yesterday | compiled a statement showing that since | December 10 eighteen men have betn heidl | { for robbery and fourteen for burglar {and that there are seven robbery and six | burglary charges pending in the Polica | courts. ” Besides these there were nine | cases of grand larceny. Thomas Galvin, the bartender who was arrested along with Anita Clark for bru- | tally beating and robbing Mrs. J. N. Foote | in Ner rooms at the Elysium, was surren- | {dered by his bondsmen yeste ¥ Judge Mogan exonerated them. The pre. | liminary hearing of Galvin and the woman | U1 be held Saturday, when it is expected Mrs. Foote will be sufficiently recovered | to_testify. The case of F. H. Mack, charged w robbery, was called in Judge Mog: court yesterday, but the compiaining wit- ness, E. King, 1257 Stockton street, | failed The Judge issued a Aith @ . J. to "appear. | bench warrant for King's arrest and the | case was continued till ¥riday. Mack and lannl‘hl'r man, who éscaped, robbed King at California and Montgomery streets | 8bout 1 o'clock Sunday mormng, and a silver watch stolen from King was found on Mack, who was chased and captured. { _The taking of testimony in the prelimin- | ary examination of John Sheehan, known as “Whistling Jack,” the charge of robbing Sears _a saloon-keeper, was con- { cluded before Judge Mogan yesterday att- ernoon and the Judge said he would ren- der his decision this morning. Sears is a member of the firm of Sears & Foley, saloon-kepers, East and Wash- ington streets, and shortly after midnight November 24, while he was drawing a glass of beer he was struck from benind and knocked to the floor unconscious. When he recovered the lights were out and he found that $220 which he had under the counter was gone. He notified Police- { man McGowan, but said he could not tell | Who the robbers were. He was confined to | his bed for seventeen days, and on the third day, while thinking in bed, he came | to the conclusion that Sheehan and Billy | McGreevy were the men who robbed him. | He also testified that just before the blow | was struck he heard a voice which rese; | bled that of Special Officer Joseph Mec- Greevy saying, “Get in there! Why don't you get in? When asked why he did | not have McGreevy arrested also he,said he thought it was best just to have one | arrested at a time. | _ A number of witnesses were exam! | for the defense to prove an alibi and as to character.

PR S The fate of Congressman Julius Kahn's bl asking for an appropriation from Con- gress of $30,000 for the-purpose of estab- lishing a lighthouse and fog signal sta- | tlon on Southampton Shoals will be | watched with considerable interest by lo- | cal shipping folk. The publication in yes- | terday’s Call of the fact that the Con- | gressman from the Fourth District had | introduced and was championing such a measure gave rise to much discussion in | maritime cireles. The proposed site for this new danger signal is at the southern extremity of the Southampton Shoals and directly on the line of tne Santa Fe ferry route betweren San Francisco and Point Richmoné. | The shipowhers of the port have for eight years been trying to get a light and fog signal at Quarry Point, the eastern exi{remity of Angel 1sland. They are now specalating as to whether the Santa Fe people will be able to accomplish for their | own exclusive benefit what local efforts have failed to brini about for the good | of the shipping of the port in general. i Quarry roint is right on the deep chan- | nel leading to Port Costa and other up- | river points. A light and fog signal sit- uated there would enable the navigator ' to get his bearings and shape a safe: ourse at night or during foggy weather. ' The necessity for a station at Quarry | Point manifested itself long ago. Ships ' went ashore on Angel Island and on Southampton Shoals;* navigation between bay and river was and still is full of | danger_in gy Weather. The Light- house Board was appealed to, but, while | appreciating the necessity for the aid to navigation, was helpless to act without Congressional sanction and assistanct. A petition was prepared eight years'ago, signed by every shipowner, river steamer | captain and towboat man in the port and indorsed by the local inspectors of the lighthouse " department. Since then re- | peated efforts have been made to get the | Government to take action, but in vain. A Good Advice.

B. Gondolphi, a quarryman employed by Gray Brothers, yesterday morning found the dead body of an unidentified man lying at the foot of the quarry clifi on Sansome street, about seventy-five feet from Green street. At the Jmmz where the body lay the cliff is almost perpendicular and about one hun- dred feet high. The man's arms, were broken, his clothing torn and thé& skin peeled off the palms of his hands, evi- dently in attempting to break his fall by catching ‘at the face of the ‘cliff i his descent Nothing was found on the person of the deceased by which he could be identifiad, the only articles being twenty-five cents and a silver finger-ring. He was about 40 years old, five feet seven inches tall | and 150 pounds weight; fair complexion, blue eyes, reddish mustache and eye- brows, regular features and good teeth. The clothing was a black derby hat, dark blue —cheviot suit, black necktie and negligee flannel overshirt with black and white stripes. The_ bo will be held at the Morgus for identificafion. —_————— Probate of Will Opposed. The hearing of the probate proceedings concerning the missing will of Mrs. Han- nah Downey of Santa Clara County, who was killed in a railroad accident in this city two years ago, was commenced be- fore Judge Troutt yesterday. Mrs. Dow- ney left an estate consisting of $12,000 in cash to her sister, Mrs. Costello, accord- ing to the testimony introduced yesterday. The will in which she disposed of the property, according to the claims of the heirs, was made in 1888, Diligent search on the part of the Interested parties has failed to reveal the whereabouts of the document and the probating of the wiil, which the attorneys for the absent heirs contend never existed, is being bitterly opposed. Miss May Costello and Mrs, Margaret Whalen, daughters of Mrs, Downey’s sister, testified yesterday that they saw the document and their testi- mony was corrcborated by T. J. Sinnott and James Hughes, who testified that they not only saw the will, but that they were appointed in it executors of the es- tate. e Laborer Holtz Kills Himself. A laborer known as Holtz, aged about 45 years, committed suicide last Monday night by cutting the arteries of his right arm and bleeding to death. He had a room at 6 Montgomery Court and had been crippled for some time past with rheumatism so that he had not been able to work. Yesterday forenoon E. H.

D., Who Came Here More Than Fifty Years Ago, Succumbs to the Weight of Years at His A'ameda Home Qoo e PIONEER MINISTER WHO PASSED AWAY AT HIS HOME IN ALAME- DA COUNTY YESTERDAY MORNING AFTER A LONG AND EVENT- FUL CAREER IN THE STATE OF HIS ADOPTION. Y HE Rev. M. C. Briggs, D.D,, the : eminent Methodist divine, who, since September, 1850, the date of his arrival on this coast, has been known as a man of sterling worth and a preacher of much more than ordi- nary power, succumbed to the inevitable at his home near Newark, Alameda Coun- ty, vesterday at the age of Sl years. By the death of Dr. Briggs the Methodist church in California loses a member noted not only for his oratorical powers, bril- | liancy of intellect and kindly disposition, | but a member to whom the Methodist | church owes not a small part of the suc- | — cess attending Methodism since - the church established its first place of wor- s‘(,“?{go!" this coast, which was in “‘the days of "49. Dr. Briggs was not only prominent in church affairs but in affairs of state. In the early sixtes, when California, though far from the seat of trouble, was split by dissension, the voice of Dr. Briges was ever raised fo quell the tumult and to lend support to the Union, Dr. Briggs' death was due to old agé, and his passing away was in keeping with the good and kindly nature which prompt- ed his every act during his long and eventful life. 3 EAPERTS oTATE WORD 15 FORGED “Wiffie” Is Not in, Chey- ney’s Handwriting, They Say. Two handwriting experts were witnesses in the Cheyney maintenance suit yester- day. They were called in by the defense to give an opinion as to the genulneness | of Sle letter written by Cheyney to a Miss | Pouning, in which he referred to Miss Nevill, the plaintiff, as his dear “‘wiffie.” Both the experts testified that the portion of the paper where the disputed word was written shows tracesof an erasure. Chey- ney admits that he wrote the letter. but claims that instead of the. word -*“‘wiffic"” he wrote the word sufferer. He claims that the.word was altered after its receipt by Miss Nevill, and the testimony of the experts supported his claim. No experts were put forward by the plaintiff. Judge Hunt refused to grant George Monnier a divorce from Violet Monnier yesterday. Monnier sued his wife for di- vorce on the ground of cruelty, alleging that Mrs, Monnier threatened to shoot him and that on several occasions she took their minor children to the ClUff House with the avowed intention of drowning them.. Mrs. Monnier denied the charges and blamed the relatives of her husband for the trouble existing in thelr household. Judge Hunt not only refused to grant the husband’s plea, but ordered him to pay his wife $50 per month for the support of herself and the two children. Judge Hunt granted Jessie L. Patten Berry a divorce from Willlam F. Berry on the ground of desertion. He also gave to Mrs. Berry the homestead at San Ra- fael and orderéd Berry to pay his wife a monthly sum of $30 for the support of the two daughters of the couple. The Ber- rys were married at San Rafael, Novem- ber 23, . Mrs. Berry is a sister of Miss Edith Patten, who recently became the wife of Henry Clay Corbin, adjutant gen- eral of the United States army. Divorces were also granied vesterday to Alfred E. Rol om Mary Robinson for desertion, Annie T. Haskins from Thomas P. Haskins for willful neglect, Lavinia O'Neil from John J.

POLIGE GOURT INQUIRY BEGINS Grand Jury Investigates Dismissal of Cases by Judge Mogan. The Grand Jury began an investigation vesterday into the allegations made against Police Judge Mogan regarding his manner of conducting the business of the court. Mogan is charged with laxity in several cases, among them being that of E. C. Westmore, who last Christmas shot and badly wounded Hans Alverson and Charles Toomey at Montgomery's Hotel on Second street. Another case where it is charged prosecution was allowed to die out is that of Sill Hester, a soldier who stabbed Thomas O’Neill on Montgomery avenue. A third case is that of Martin Flynn, Frank Morrissey and Thomas Crouch, who, it is alleged, assaulted Mrs. Rose Kilbourn of Santa Rosa. They were dismissed by Judge Mogan. Among the witnesses summoned by the Grand Jury were Policemen Chase and McQuade, who arrested Westmore after- the uhootlni.aflray. They testified that the reason for delay in prosecution was due to the fact that nelther of the com- plaining witnesses was sufficiently recov- ered until last Monday to appear in court. Alverson i{s now convalescing, but Too- mey is still in the German Hospital. In the Hester case Officers McNamara, Matheson, Brodt and Connolly testified before the jury as to the circumstances under which Hester was arrested and charged with assault to_murder. The case was dismissed,_the officers said, for lack of prosecution, O'Neill, the wounded goldier, having deserted from the army shortly after his recovery. James Col- lins, who was an evewitness to the affray and swore to the complaint, was also a witness before the Grand Jury. Mrs, Kilbourn told the story of her un- fortunate experience to the jury and Ser- geant Blank, Lieutenant Price and Officer ‘Wollwebber also testified. No actien was taken by the Grand Jury on either of the three cases, further hear- ing being postponed until next Tuesday. — Two nuiuwny Girls. Aggic Murphy and Olive Vance, each about 16 years of age, were arrested at 28 Mason street early yesterday morning by Detective Anthony and Policeman Hutch- ins and taken to the City Prison, where they were placed in charge 'of the matron. Tl}e girls arrived here Saturday by train from Seattle with obert lz'ronle. who said he was an agent for acrobats and would find an_ engagement for them on the stage. After arriving ere he made a different p ition to them, which they rejected. e, police here were natified by the Chief of Police of Seattle to arrest the girls.

The Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers ex- amined a number of witnesses yesterday in their investigation of the collision bes tween the Wally Walla and the Max. Most of the testimony was similur to that already published. The investiga- tors, however, were anxious to thresh out the whole matter. Captain Hall stated | that he had discharged five members of his crew the previous trip for drinking on | shipboard. He made the amusing state- ment that when he found two officers | drunk during that voyage he went below | in search of two quartermasters to pro- mote to their places and found them | drunk also. The captain admitted thai| he saw two waiters drunk on the steam- | ship’s last voyage. Saw Drunken Waiters. | J. A. Sells, a mining man, who was a passenger on the Walla Walla, testified that two waiters on the steamship were drunk the night before the collision. He | said they were in his stateroom drinking with Captain Gilbert. a passenger, and that he became disgusted and left them there. The witness swore that the offi- cers and crew were sober and did not act out of the way. / A Mr. Sells, in the course of his testimony, told how he assisted the crew in lower- ing boats and helped the lady passen- gers to leave the steamship. He stated he did not leave the sinking vessel until she made her final plunge; that he jump= ed into the water and swam to a raft, and was struck by the mast of the steam- ship when it sank. His testimony showed that the members of the Walla Walla's | crew worked without excitement “and did | everything in their power to save pas-| sengers. 5 il P. Abramson, a sailor on the Walla Walla, stated that he was asleep in the forecastle; that he was awakened by the | collision, and when he came on deck he saw the French. bark, but could see no lights on her. He said the crew behaved itself and that there jvas no fighting ml the forecastle. | George Peters, a member of the Walla Walla's crew, followed and testified along the same lines. i Lupp Is Recalled. | Frederick Lupp, second officer of the Walla Walla, was recalled. His testi-| mony was similar to that given when first examined. He swore that Third Officer Hughes was on the bridge on the port side at the time of the collision; but this was in conflict with testimony he gave last week. He then said Hughes was standing behind him in the charthouse. | Lupp _refterated the statement that when the lookout reported there was a white light on the port bow Hughes left the charthouse and stood on the bridge. “When, the lookout reported a green light on the port bow, did you hear him?” asked Captain Bolles. “No, sir,” was the reply. *“I was writ-| ing at the time. But I heard Hughes yell, ‘Hard a-port!’ Not hearing a reply from the man at the wheel, I repeated the order by hollering through the scut- tle and asked why he did not answer. Charles Gleason, a miner, who was a passenger on the steamship, told of his escape from the sinking vessel and the thrilling time they had in reaching shore. His testimony was no different from that already published. “Blew Down’ Boilers. Peter Harold, a water tender on the Walla Walla, was then called and told of the coolness that pervaded the men in the. engine-room. He said he did not realize the steamer was about to sink, otherwise he would not have gone below and ‘“blown down” the boilers. He thought the colljsion occurred about 4:15 a. m. 2 S. Williamson, barkeeper on the Walla Walla, testified that there was a rule on the ship not to sell liquor to the crew and that he always lived up to the rule. He admitted he sold liquor to waiters, but understood it was for passengers. To the | best of his knowledge the officers of the | ship had not partaken of any liquor. i Willlamson_said the morning the Walla | Walla sailed some of the passengers | showed evidence of having drink in them. He stated that he remained on the ship | until she sank; that he was picked up by a raft and later by the Dispatch. The witness saild the discipline on the Walla Walla was good and that the men lowered the boats as if they were going through | the fire drill. Frank Haughwout, an oiler, gave testi- | | mony that was unimportant. Second Officer Lupp was again recalled. | He swore that when Mr. Hughes relieved | him the latter was sober and knew what he was doing. He said the steamship did | not_sink bodily, but by the head. Lupp | sald the Walla' Walla went down like a | boat ‘“shooting the chutes.” He said he | examined the staterooms on the saloon deck and found them empty. “How long was it after the lookout re- | ported the white light before the ships | came together?” asked Captain Bolles. | “I can't say, because I was writing up the log,” was the reply. ‘“When the look- | out reported the white light Mr. Hughes | elled ‘Port!” I pald no attention to this, Delioving that the course of the ship was changed to get out of the other ship's | way. Almost immediately, I think, I| heard “hard a-port” and then the vessels collided.” Crew Was Orderly. Captain Hall was then examined. “Was there any disorder among your | crew?” he was asked. | “The only disorder T saw was made by | two drunken waiters,” the captain replied. | “I told the steward to put the men below | and tell them that if 1 saw any more of them I would put them in irons. I gave orders to the purser and bartender never to sell liquor to the officers or crew.' The witness volunteered the statement that on Christmas day. on the trip before the Walla Walla was lost. he caught the | third and fourth officers drinking in vio- | lation of the rules. He disrated them at | the time and went below to promote the | quartermasters to their places, but found them drinking with the fretaht clerk. He said he would have discharged them at Victoria, but it was not an American port, and he discharged, the five men In San Francisco. The witness spoke very high- 1y of Third Officer Hughes, who was in charge of the Walla Walla at the time she | collided with the Max. ‘The investigation will afternoon. | continue this BUTLER, Ga..

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasite germs. ‘The importance of this discovery by Pro- fessor Unna of the Charity Hospital, Hamburg, Germany, cannot be- overesti- mated. It explains why ordinary hair preparations, even of the most expensive character, fail to cure dandruff—bécause they do not and they cannot kill the dan- druff germ. The only hair preparation in the world that positively destroys the dandruff parasites that burrow up the scalp into scales, called scurf or dandruft, is Newbro's Herpicide. In addition to its destroying the dandruff germ Herpicide is also a delightful hair-dressing, making the hair glossy and soft as silk.
