Huntington w. conviction, pending the appeal of his case to the Supreme Court. His bail was fixed at $10,000. The attcrneys for Huntington will, all probability, petition for a rehearing. The}' will base their appeal largely on the Gissenting opinion of the three Justices and they will pay particular attention, in drawing up their papers, to the fact that the verdict of the jury in Judge Lawlor's court was mainly.due to the instructions delivered by the court. The instructions were to the effect that if the jurors be- lieved that Miss ‘\Il:l\ov\n came to her “‘criminal negligence” cn the part of the defendant they should find him guilty of manslaughter. The court rieglected to define the meaning of “‘eriminal negligence,” but left it to the | discretion of the jurors. The defendant's meaning of this | term should have been explained. » —_— ices, in | HOME SOCIETY RECEIVES I | the head of the pro- | { MANY NEW MEMBERS | Beport of Presxdent shows Hebrew Orphan Asylum to Be in Pros- perous Condition.

He said in part: By psychic phenomena, 1 mean the power to move objects without physical contact; hypno- fism of others and of one's self; psycho-ther- apeutics, or the power of healing by mental or psvchic force; telepathy, including mind- reading, chairvoyance, clair-audience, etc!, and the increase of intellectual power, manifested in memory, deduction and intuition.

Everything seems to be cut and dried and it is very possible that the | ‘convention will conclude its business in one session. i There are two candidates for chairman. ‘William M. Cannon is the choice of the caucus. J. R. Pringle is ambitious to pre- side over the convention and he will al- low his name to be presented in opposi- tion to Mr. Cannon. On Saturday last certain delegates met in Louis Mooser's office and voted on a chairman.. Cannon received eight votes and Pringle seven. As Cannon is a member of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee and is fa- vorable to McNab, he will very probably be chalrman. The convention will adopt the platform of the Democratic State Convention. A few amendments are being prepared and | will be added as local planks. The com- mittee on credentials will have little or no work, as each delegate to the conven- tion must present a certificate issued to him by the registrar to the secretary. The candidates for Superior Judge are well known to the delegates. They are Frank Dunne, Livingston Jenks, William T. Baggett, R. P. Troy and George D. Shadburne. The first four have been in | the contest for the past week and seem to Lave the best chances of going on the John Siver, a Porter, Seeing Animal.Running Away, Grabs Short Piece of Rope Attached to its Neck, Is Jerked Off Hi: Feet and Meets D2:th Under Quadtupe'd< Hoot . e AGED MAN WHO WAS KNOCKED DOWN AND KILLED YESTER- DAY BY A RUNAWAY HORSE.

Siver had been sent out for bread by Horne and as he was crossing Second and Minna streets he saw a horse that was tied by a rope to a hydrant in front of James Tomkinson’s stables, 61 Minna street, break loose and start to run away. Siver ran forward and grabbed hold of the piece of rope attached to the ani- mal's neck with the intention of stop- ping the runaway. He was thrown to the ground and the horse’s hoofs beat a tattoo on his head and ribs as it dashed away and turned into Second street. James Villa, 57 Minna street, and Flor- ence Whitestone, 28 Minna street, wit- nessed the accident. Villa ran to the old man's assistance, but found that life was extinct. It was discovered that Siver's skull had been crushed. Three of bis ribs were broken. His death must have been instantaneous. Siver was a native of Germany and had no known relatives in this city.

Imposing Funeral Ceremonies at the Temple and Cemetery. ‘With most solemn and imposing funeral ceremonies conducted by the Masonic or- der, the body of Hiram T. Graves was consigned to its last resting place along- side the ckapel in Mount Olivet Cemetery yesterday afternoon. Mr. Graves was 77 years of age at_ the time of his death, at Sisson, on Wednesday last. Flanked by the sorrowing family and the members of the Masonic fraternity which he so dearly loved, the body of the veteran pioneer lay in a fiower-wreathed casket in Masonic Hall yesterday afu noon while the living paid its last sad tribute to the dead. The services in the Masonic Hall, which followed the brief eulogies and praye at St. Peter's Episcopal Caurch, of which the deceased was of the founders, were Impressive in the extreme. clous hall was crowded with friends and relatives and the members of the com- mandery. GRAY-HAIRED PALLBEARERS. The huge black casket, almost hidden from view by a wealth of flowers, was borne from the hearse to the hall by six gray-haired men who had been tbe boon companions of the deceased in life. Two of the aged pall-bearers, were from St. Peter's Church, Alexander Gray and W. H. Medira, and two were from the commandery. Colonel J. H. Burns and Professor J. W. Anderson. Following the casket came the mem- kers of the deceased’s family. Then came the grand masters of the lodge, in the| full regalia of their office, followed by the members of the order and the Society of Pioneers and finally mourning friends. The commandery choir, Clarence T. ‘Wendell, D. M. Lawrence, A. A. Botkin and E. G. McPaine, stationed in the bal- cony cver the entrance to the hall, sang “Lead, Kindly Light,” at the conclusion of which R. P. Hurlbut, past commander of the commandery, arose and delivered a brief eulogy on the deceased, in which he paid a flattering tribute to his good deeds. The choir then sang ‘“‘Nearer, My God, to Thee,” after which Judge Troutt, chaplain of the commandery, offered a touching prayer. EULOGY FOR THE DEAD. Charles Wilson, who had been a friend of the deceased in life, delivered a beau- tiful eulogy of the dead. *For the sec- ond time, dear friends, within the last two months,” he began, with a touch of pathos In his resonant voice, ‘“‘we are assembled in this hall to pay the last sad rites of our order to the past commander of this commandery. Hiram T. Graves, a beloved brother, has been summoned to his last rest. That mysterious something which we call life has depart- ed from our brother. What werds of mine, at this time, can fittingly voice .he sorrows of those who knew him?” Mr. ‘Wilson spoke for ten minutes, paying a glowing tribute to the memory of the dead and closed with a touching “Good- by, dear brother, good-by,” which brought tears to many eyes. At the conclusion of the eulogy the cholr sang ““Good Night,” and Chaplain Troutt offered another brief prayer and, following the Masonic burial ritual, the or- ganist played Chopin’s dead march, while the commandery and the friends of the deceased passed by the casket and took a farewell look at the face, cold and ashen in death, The casket was then closed for the last time, and after the last of the mourners had passed out was carried to the hearse and the funeral cor- tege, headed by a band, playing a dead march, moved slowly up Post street to Montgomery, to Market to Ninth, where it disbanded, and the hearse and carriages containing the mourn- ers proceeded on their way to Mount Olivet Cemetery. Here brief services were held before the casket was lowered into the grave. Herbert Willlams, the tenor, sang a sweet hymn and the commandery choir sang ““Good Night.” After a few words of prayer by the chaplain, all that is mortal of Hiram T. Graves was con- signed to Mother Earth. Rev. W. M. Burns conducted the services at St. Peter's Church, in the absence of Bishop Nichols. —_— Rail Rates Reduced Via Santa Fe.
