As the result of a drunken quarrel with his employer over Miss Bacigalupi, daugh- who has a commis- sion house at 507 Washington street, John Lombardo, who works as a tailor in room 16, Montgomery block, attempted to com- | mit sulcide last night by stabbing himself in the abdomen with a caseknife. The fe w: dull, and to this fact Lombardo probably owes his life, as the injury is one from which he will recover: Both he and his employer, Leo Lombar- @i, of the same name but no relation, re going with the girl, who works at same place. The three gathered in the tailoring room last night, and John Lombardo was made jealous by the ca- resses his employer lavished on Miss Bacigalupi. John jumped up from the table, crying out loudly that he was go- ing to kill himself, and made a vain en- deavor to disembowel himself before his employer and the sweetheart whom he claimed had “thrown him down.” Officer Stephen Bunner was attracted by the noise and sent the injured man to the hospital, where his wounds were found to be only superficial. e BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION HOLDS ANNUAL ELECTION Financial Report Shows the Society to Be in a Most Prosper- ous Condition. The members of the Eureka Benevolent Association met'yesterday afternoon and elected the officers who will serve during the ensuing year.

These victories make 2 total of four scalps on the belts of Joo Cantillion’s followingy while it is a large and juicy nixy for the opposition stars. Over on the Oakland walloping grounds just a little after dawn the Americans were on the boards 2 to 1. At Recreation Park during the matinee session the same aggregation came through with another big one—5 to 0. Some people thought the Oakland team was about the worst, but row the National leaguers come forward and suffer just as the California cham- pions have suffered, losing)four in a row. It was without question 4 swell game of ball that happened at the Eighth street lot. Not a sensational one, but asteady battle throughout, full of even playing and great box work on the part of the opposing curve dispensers, Bernhard and Tannehill. A large crowd turned out, fill- ing the grand stand and causing the bieachers to take on a lively appearance. The National team suffered to a degree by having to play Pitcher Donovan in the outfield. Dick Cooley, however, finally re- turned to the fold, and this helped the team considerably. Dexter again played short. Leahy appeared once more inside the cage. Rig Bill Bernhard, the mammoth curv- ster from Cleveland, who led the Ameri- can Leagué pitchers last season, jumped into the box at the call of time. Never for an instant did he slacken his pace until the game was over and the Na- tionals. were all through. Bernhard twirled a great sample of ball. He had curves, a bewlildering change of pace and perfest control. The Nationals were on his staff from the first round, and all they had were three lonely hits. Five of themhit wind and only one received a ass. pTunehill was fully the equal of Bern- hard until an accident came to pass in the eighth spasm. Then the star south- paw of the champion Pittsburg team got the big beating, and before the bombard- ment subsided flve American leaguers rounded the last curve, and nothing was SEEKG T0 LURE GIRLS TO AUIN Montana Public Guards Four Females From Plotter. . GREAT FALLS, Mont., Dec. 28.—From a minister of the‘gospel to an alleged procurer is a far cry, but Robert J. Stick- ney of this city has made the distance, and in the court of Judge Safford in this city he was bound over yesterday to the District Court upon the charge named. Stickney was arrested in this city ten days ago, following his arrival here with Hallie - Walcott, Mabel Horn, Claire Aileen and Minnie Ward from Denver. They sald that they had answerell adver- tisements in the Denver papers offering engagements to chorus girls and had met Stickney. When they arrived here they were bundled into a hack to be driven to a house of ill fame. The girls were re- moved to the hotel by the authorities, where they have since been guests at the county’s expense. S Stickney was arrested on complaint of the girls. At the trial the fact developed that his parents were wealthy and re- AAspected Eastern people.

The boards read ciphers up when the eighth round findlly rolled around. Both teams were playing great ball, and the hits were three to two in favor of the Nationals. Our Johnny Burns opened the eighth for the Americans by lifting a neat single out to left field. Sullivan bunted, and Tannehill committed the only error of the game by throwing low to Ritchie. Both runners were safe, and Burns went to third on the miscue. Bernhard hit a fiy to center and Burns beat the throw home. Sullivan went to second, and took third when Hartsell chopped out a hit. ‘was worked and Sullivan registered. Hart- sell executed a clever run and stole third a moment later. Then the bombardment was inaugurated. A base on balls to Jones and a pair of singles by Coughlin and Harley, aided by Harry Davis’ doublei over third, swelled the tally list to five, and simply broke up a wonderful battle of pitchers. The Nationals died in onme, two, three fashion during the ninth inning and failed to solve any of Bernhard's curves. Tom- my Leahy was rather bewildered by Tan- nehill's big curves during the early por- tion of the battle, but later on he settled down and caught a creditable game. Sul- livan made some wonderful throws to the second bag. The Nationals failed to steal a single base on him. A peculiar feature awyer of prominence. The boy was sent to college and as he had decided Then the double stell’ leanings toward the ministry he took up the study of theology. He was regularly ordained a minister of the Unitarian Church in New York City in 1884. Upon one occasion he delivered a sermon. at Father Uzzell's famous church in Den- ver, The young man later took up the study of medicine and in 1888 secured his degree from the University of Maryland. In that same institution he then began the study of the law, his father's profession. By his father’s death he fell heir to a fine law library and it wasthe boy’s am- bition to take up his father’s practice as soon as he was fitted to do so. Up to the time of his mother’s death Stickney is said to have been a model young man. After that he struck the tobogsan slide and his downward course was rapid. .He fell in with the fast set and began to drink heavily and to indulge in. other forms of dissipation. His remalining rel- atives cast him off, or rather pensoned him to come West. He is, and has been |. for many years, paid $125 a month to keep away from home. - Stickney came to this city about seven months ago from San Francisco, where he claimed to have worked for several months. He also declares he was city editor of the Denver Republican. The af- fair has created a sensation. The deaths and injuries from lightni strokes in the United States during :’y‘.fi year 1899 just about equaled the casual- ties among ouf troops in the Philippines during the same period, including deaths from disease, says the Army and Navy Journal. Five hundred and sixty-two per- sons were killed and 820 were injured by lightning in this country during last year. EX of the game is shown in Dexter's record.

Big Add Joss of Cleve- land was pitted against Wild Bill Dono- van of the Brooklyn team, and the meet- ing resulted in a battle of giants that was & wonder. Both men used great speed and had fine control, but the Cleveland curve artist was lucky in keeping the hits more scattered than. his opponent and finally won out. —_————— Dutch Capture Sultan’s Family.

SUES THE SALOONMEN FOR HER FATHER'S DEATH Daughter Says Her Parent Met With Fatal Accident Because He Was Intoxicated. TACOMA, Dec. 28.—Three Whatcom sa- loon proprietors have been sued for $15,000 damages by Maude Adams, whose father was run over and killed last May by the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia Raflroad. The suit is brought under a State law passed by the Legislature in 1579 which provides that saloon-keepers may be held liable in damages for loss of life resulting directly from intoxication where it can be shown that the intoxica- tion in whole or in part was caused by liquors sold by the defendants. It is al- leged that Adams drank heavily on the day in question in the saloons operated by the three defendants in the present suit, and that while so intoxicated he started for his home, twelve miles away, golng up the tracks of the Bellingham Bay Railroad. He was run over by an engine running backwards drawing a long train of empty cars: His body was so mangled that it required some time to identify it.
