Mr. Elliott testified that he had gone through Conway's books and had discovered that a China- man named Sing Kee, residing at 511 Bush street, was arrested on May 27 and plead- ed guilty in Judge Mogan's court to sell- ing oplum fllegally. He was sentenced by the Judge to pay a fine of $100, and the fine was paid to Con- by the Chinaman. It was Conway’s to turn this amount over toyFrank J. French, chief deputy in the County Clerk’s office. Mr. French testified before the Grand Jury yesterday that Conway had never turned this money over to him. The Grand Jury will meet on Tuesday next to take further evidence in the case. The Grand Jury also took up the com- plaint ags t “‘scorchers”™ filed by Thom- as Meller: ecretary and controller of the California Northwestern Railroad, who lives at 183 Fell street. Mellersh wes struck by a_ bicyclist and seriously injured on June 1. The blame, he says partially rests with the police. Nevada Secures Judgment. Judge Hunt rendered a judgment for $580 for the State of Nevada yesterday against John Buckley, administrator of the estate of Anna Howard. Mrs. How- ard was insane, and was for fourteen years a charge of the Sagebrush State. TUpon her death it was learned that she was possessed of property worth §15,000, and suit was brought to recover the cost of her care. Judge Hunt decided, how- ever, that the State was entitled to but $580, the balance of the amount sued for, 720, being an outlawed debt." WALKING HATS, $4.00, $5.00, $6.00.

Public exposure of the Kern County bond transaction and revelations relating to the scandalous management of affairs at San Quentin, together with the de- feat of the push at San Jose, have utterly demoralized the machine forces. There is no end of wrangling in the boss camp of this city. The district henchmen of the administration are misled and con- fused by various rumors. One day they are advised that Burns will lead them in the campaign and the nextiday they are toid that Johnny Mackenzie has the real programme. Rumors that Martin Kelly will be assigned to the leadership of the push column deepen the general confu- | sion. It is-conceded in all factions that | Gage is practically out of the race for renomination. It is known that Herrin and Crimmins are working together in the face of Burns' public avowal that he would not do politics with any man high or low that had anything to do with Crimmins. There is not a great deal of activity at | the registration office, when it is consid- ered that the primary election will take place within less than two months. The merchants and business men generally are neglecting their duties. The working- men are making a creditable showing in the matter of registering for the ap- | proaching election. The Primary League, | having organized a club in every Assem- iy district, will henceforth devote much of its energy in the direction of enroll- ment on the register. Now is the time to | register, as the office is not crowded with | applicants. Two months ago, when the Republicans of California were confronted with the danger of Gage's nomination for another term as Governor, the Democrats readily ergaged in plans for a vigorous cam- paign. They fancied that victory could easily be won if the Republicans put for- ward as their candidate a discredited and unpopular exponent of push politics. The San Jose election and other events have now convinced the Democratic politicians that the Republican party has no notion of committing the blunder of proposing Gage for another term, hence the lack of campaign enthusiasm among Democrats. There is need of Republican vigilance, however. It will be called to mind that | Democrats voting for Republican del- | egates to the local convention in San | Erancisco last year gave the bosses and | the railroad the power to control the con- vention and programme the nominations. Republican citizens, in order to prevent a looting of the city, were impelled to de- feat the ticket put forward by the bosses. Republicans should now adopt every | measure of precaution within the law to | prevent Democrats from voting for the delegates to the Republican State con- vention. The leaders of the Democratic party are so anxious for the nomination of Gage that they will resort to any trick or device to strengthen him. Word comes from Los Angeles that the push forces in_ that city are depending on Democrats to kelp Gage In the south. The inactivity of the Democratic County Committee of this | city and the peculiar attitude of leading | Democrats create the impression that Los | Angeles tactics may be introduced here on the 12th of August next. Civil Service Examinations. On July 8 an examination will be Lcid in San Francisco and other cities for the position of engineer, bureau of chemistry, Department of Agriculture, at a salary of $2000 per annum, age limit 20 years or over. Each competitor should submit a thesis, not to exceed words, on some problem embracing ' laboratory tests which he has personally conducted on the strength of materials of construction, | showing_the commercial and_ sclentific | value of the resuits obtained.

T a substantial busi- Dess men’s 1 e THE SAN GRAND PARLOR NOW AT PEAGE Harmony Prevails at the Meetings of Yes- terday. Minerva Ready to Move in the Courts Against Genevieve. Yesterday’s sessions of the Grand Par- ler of the Native Daughters of the Gold- en West were remarkably harmonious. The matter of the status-of the new par- lor, Genevieve, has not yet been determined bty the grand body and in anticipation that an attempt will be made to pass the matter over, a committee~from Minerva Parlor had papers prepared yesterday to bring the matter into court to have the institution of the parlor declared null and void, on the ground that it was placed in the order in violation of the constitu- tlon of the organization, The papers are al: ready and were verified yesterday af- ternoon before Notary Julius Callman. At the morning session Grand Vice President Eliza D. Keith read a well prepared and lengthy report on behalf of the special committee appointed at the previous session on historical landmarks of California. The committee on ritual presented a report in the matter of a charge to be deilvered to the organists in subordinate parlors. Tina L. Kane, the first grand president of the order, pre- pared the charge. It was adopted and copies ordered printed for distribution in tlie subordinate parlors. NEW MEMORIAL SERVICE. Copa de Oro Parlor of Hollister pre- sented a form of memorial service for the dead of the order, which was also adopted, and will hereafter be used each year by the subordinate parlors. Fraternal greetings were received from Lewis F. Byington, grand president of the Native Sons, from Henry Lunstedt, grand secretary of the same order, and ifrom La Estreila Parior, Native Daught- ers. The Grand Parlor received a congratula- tory letter from the joint ninth of Sep- tember celebration committee extending a hope that the Native Daughters would take part in the celebration to be held on Admission day at Santa Rosa. An _invitaton ~was extended to the Grand Parlor to take part in the unveil- ing of the Sloat monument at Monterey on the 4th of July next. The invitation was accepledd arl;d the grand body will be represented there. A resolution presented by Pledmork Parlor that the Native Daughters erect in Pioneer Park on the apex of Telegraph Hill a monument to commemorate Betsy Ross of Philadelphia, who made the first American flag, was adopted and the Grand Parlor will take the necessary steps to carry out the provisions of the resolution. NOMINATIONS MADE. The important business at the after- noon session was the nominatiop of mem- bers of the grand body for the offices that are te be filled during the ensuing term. For grand president there was but one nominee, Miss Eliza D. Keith, at present grand vice president. The expect- ed opposition did not materialize. It was the talk up to a few days ago that the friends of Mrs. Baker, the incumbent, would place her in nomination for a sec- ond term, and by so doing break the un- written law that no president should serve more than one term, but this was not done. For grand vice president there were nominated Ella Caminetti of Ursula Parlor_of Jackson, wife of ex-Congress- man Caminetti, and Stella Finkeldey of Santa Cruz Parlor; for grand sccretary, Elizabeth F. Douglass of Alta Parlor of this city and Laura J. Frakes of Amapoia Parlor, Sutter Creel, the incumbent; for grand treasurer, Annie Lacy of Las Lo- maé Parlor of this city’ and Amanda Hammerly of Piedmont Parlor, Oakland, the incumbent; for grand marshal, Emma Lille of Ivy Parlor, Lodi, and Emma Greuber Foley of Orinda Parlor of this city; for grand inside sentinel, Eva Bus- senius of La Esperanza Parlor, Los An- geles, and Mathilda Moak of San Jose Parlor, San Jose; for grand outside sen- tinel, Teresa Muldoon of Chispa Parlor, Ione, and Marguerite Richards of Winona Parlor, Arcata. FOR GRAND TRUSTEE. The nominees for grand trustee are nu- meérous. They are: Hannah Morris of Dardanelle Parlor, Sonora; Rose Gnekow of Joaquin Parlor, Stockton; Alana Stir- ling of Aleli Parlor, Salinas; Aga_ Lan- ders of/Ramona Parlor, Martinez; Kath- ryn McGough of Darina Parlor, San Francisco; Maud Wood of La Bandera Parlor, Sacramento; Sophie Wilhelm of Manzanita Parlor, Grass Valley; Anna Henderson of Los Piementos Parlor, San- ta Paula; Emma_Thierbach of La Es- trella_Parlor, San Francisco; Lucy S. Mil- ler of Mariposa Parlor, Mariposa; Ella Floyd of Laurel Parlor, Nevada City; Mary Kaler of Ruby Parlor, Murphys; Mary Halloran of Occident Parlor, Eu- reka, and Susie M. Kalthoff of Yosemite Parlor, San Francisco. An incident of the theater party on Wednesday night made it rather unpleas- ant for the grand president. Some time before the night of that party Theo Lun- stedt, whose wife is a member of one of the local parlors but not an adherent of the party in power, went to the Alcazar and bought a box for his wife, self and three friends. During the afternoon of ‘Wednesday a decorator called at the the. ater and stated that he had been sent to the place by the joint committee on en- tertainment to decorate the box which had been assigned to the grand president. DECORATES WRONG BOX. Not wishing to make an error, he asked that it be shown to him, but by mistake Lunstedt’s box was pointed out. This he decorated with silk flags and flowers and over it hung the letters G. P. in golden poppies. When Lunstedt and his party entered he was somewhat astonished to see his box so profusely decorated, but supposea some of his friends wanted to pay him s sgecla.l honor. In a few moments after the party had been seated an usher an- nounced that somebody had blundered in showing him to that box, as it was the grand president’s, but Lunstedt produced his tickets and declined to vacate for the grand president or any one else. There was an effort to effect a change, but it could not be done, and Lunstedt rets.‘ned the decorated stage box. Last night more than 1200 people attend- ed the grand ball in Native Sons’ Hall, which was beautifully decorated by E. M. Eisfelder, a prominent member of Bay City Parlor of the Native Sons. There were 400 in the grand march, which was led by Grand President Mrs. Baker and her husband, preceded by a committee of six young ladies. Many of the ladies were attired in full evening dress. After the second dance, President Clark of Yosemite Parlog approached Mrs. Ba- ker, who had beem® invited to the stage, and on behalf of the Native Daughters presented her with a' pair of diamond ear- rings. The recipient said that had the gift been tendered her in the Grand Pare lor she would not have béen surprised, as she had read of them in the papers, but to have the same presented to her before 8o large an assemblage was a surprise. She thanked the donors and would ever cherish it as she loves all Native Daugh- ters of the Golden West. Dr. Bertola also made a few patriotic remarks. —— A Souvenir for the Shriners.

Mr. Kelly has been on The Call staff for years, and is held in the highest esteem not only by his employers, but by those_ who work day after day at his side. He is a native of Pleasanton, Cal., and is one of the cleverest newspaper artists on the coast. The bride is a daughter of M. Enos, a well-to-do merchant of San Leandro, and is a strikingly beautiful brunette. She was attired yesterday in a most becoming wedding gown of pale gray crepe de chine. Narrow tucks and point appligue gave a girdle effect to the bodice, while the skirt was finished with a wide accordeon flounce. With the cos- tume was worn a Stylish hat of white chiffon. Miss Marguerite Enos attended her sister as maid of honor. James Mc- Govern was best man. Mr. and Mrs, Kelly will reside on Van Ness avenue in San Francisco.

Harrold, as maid of honor, and Joseph W, Stapleton acted as best man. The ushers were John F. Cunning- Lam and Edward J. Keane, That the newly married couple are held in high esteem by their many friends is evidenced by the numerous, costly and elaborate presents received by them. They leave to-day for a fortnight's stay in Lake County, and on their return wiil reside at 250 Sixth avenue, in the Rich- mond district. SEEN Prince and Princess Ponlatowski and Mrs. J. 8.

FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 1902. BADLY WRECKS A TOWER HOUSE Car Derailed by Draw- bar Crushes Two-Story Structure. John McGrath Has Narrow Escape From Death, A Southern Pacific local freight traln of forty-seven cars, drawn by one of the blg Mogul engines, No. 1719, met with a slight mishap yesterday after- at 1 o'clock at Twenty-sixth Guerrero streets. As the ‘train was approaching the two-story tower house alongside of the track, the draw- bar pulled out from the head car and fal ing on the.track was the means of de- railing the forward truck. The car In swerving from the ralls bounded again-t the tower house and totally demolished it. The tower was turned completely around and overturned. The roof was wrenched off, and as the structure fell to the ground the spectators were amazed to see the form of Gatekeeper John Mec- Grath come rolling out through the aper- ture where once had been the roof. Strange to relate, McGrath was found to be but slightly injured, being brulsed on :)he head and limbs by the falling tim- ers. Superintendent B. A. Worthington hap- pened to be on a passenger tram that followed the freight. He at once made inquiries into the affair and under his direction the line was cleared for the resumption of traffic within fif- teen minutes, The train was in charge of Engineer Clowry and Conductor Byrne. After the workmen had assembled to clear away the wreck McGrath seemed deeply. mo!ed by some emotion. Mr. Worthington, who was glad to see that the gatekeeper had not been serious- Iy hurt, asked the reason of his depres- sicn. “I ‘am 'worried, sir, at the loss of my pipe and tobacco,” said McGrath, and straightway he went to the demolished tower to try to recover the precious ar- ticles. Not “succeeding in finding them, John went to his lunch, but returned hurriedly, still looking worried and again he resumed a fruitless search among the piled-up timbers of the tower for his pipe and tobacco. . The incident caused a good deal of amusement to the onlookers, but John McGrath continued sad over his loss. A new one-story tower house will take the place of the wrecked structure. SHELDON LEAVES ESTATE TO WIDOW AND CHILDREW Deceased Capitalist’s Will Disposes . of Property Valued at $1,125,000. Mark Sheldon, the capitalist, who died at his residence at 1001 Golden Gate ave- nue Sunday, June 1, has left his estate, worth $1,125,000, with the exception of a few small bequests to nephews and nieces, to his widow, Agnes Margaret Sheldon, and his children, Joseph A., Frank P. and Catherine C. Sheldon, share and share alike. His will was filed yes- terday. ‘The document bears date of January 25, 1902, and names Joseph A. Sheldon and Frank P. Sheldon as executors, @ ivieiieeiinieiioiiniieeleiaeinieleiel @ FAILS TO PROVE Hly RESIDENGE Judge Graham Refuses to Grant F. H. Kimball a Divorce. Judge Graham refused to grant Freder- ick H. Kimball a divorce from Minnie L. Kimball yesterday, because of Kimball's failure to prove that he was a resident of California. Kimball is at present In Chicago, and his wife resides in St. Louis, Mo. All the evidence in the case was taken by deposition, both the plaintiff and defend- ant offering a great deal of evidence, in all of which it was made evident that the Kimballs lived anything but a happy life. It was shown conclusively, however, that Kimball was not a resident of this State. He based his claim of residence here on the fact that he visited this city two years ago as an agent for an East- ern mineral water, hired a room for a few weeks, and departed, leaving behind him an empty trunk. He brought the suit for divorce a short time after his return to Chicago. Janet Arzner has filed a suit for divorce against Louis Arzner, proprietor of the Ferry Cafe, 16 Market street, charging infidelity, and naming Mabel Palmer of 415 Ellls street as co-respondent. Mrs. Arzner brought a suit for divorce last February, but the case never came up for trial, a reconciliation having been effect. ed. Mrs. Arzner alleges that Arzner, a: ter assuring her that he would do every- thing to make their future a happy one, filed a declaration of homestead on their home, which, she alleges, he had given to her as a gift in April, 1901. The Arzners have two children. Charles S. Rogers, who was married to Clara R. Rogers in 1888, has filed a suit for divorce, alleging that his wife left him without any reason three years ago. A suit for divorce has been commenced by Alfred P. Fuller against Clara Fuller. They were married at Ottawa, Kan., in June, 1836, and have one child, a boy aged 12. Fuller alleges that Mrs. Fuller deserted him on April 15, 1900. Gurd Bertram is being sued for divorce by Sarah Bertram on the ground of de- sertion. She alleges that he left her six months - after their marriage, in Decem- ber, 1900. Divorces were granted to Max A. Knaus from Eugenie H. Knaus for infi- delity, Rachel Eugenie Rankin from Jo- seph Rankin for conviction of felony, Rosa L. Neuhaus from Henry Neuhaus for intemperance, Fred W. Clark from Agnes Clark for desertion, Bertha Bra- dy from F. L. Brady for desertion, H. E. Cohen from Estelle E. Cohen for dese: tion, and James A. Dinniene from Flor- ence Dinniene for desertion. RESCUED FROM PERIL BY LIFE-SAVING CREW Rising Tide Surrounds Three Persons Who Are Lunching on Cliff House Rocks. An elderly. lady and two young girls, while Junching near the Cliff House yes- terday afternoon, were caught by the ris- ing tide. They were rescued from thelr perilous position by Captain Varney and his life saving crew from the ocean beach station. The three failed to notice the approach of the waters and were surrounded by the breakers. The waves dashed over the rocks on which they were standing and their cries attracted attention. A mount- ed police officer attempted to reach them, but was unable to do so. Finally the life savers were sent for, and by means of ropes the people on the rocks were hauled up to the roadway leading to the Cliff House. They refused to give their names to the life-savers, but were profuse in their thanks for the service rendered them. ' —_————— Devotions at St. Francis.

The maiden screamed in the most ap- proved Western fashion, and Policeman Webster came to her rescue.
