He fs 34 years of age and until a few days ago was employed at Murray Bros.’ machine shops, 400 Folsom street. Although ad- mitting that he is a drinking man his employers give him a good reputation and say that he is an expert at his bus! ness, but they knew nothing of his d. mestic affairs. Three gold rings on h fingers, which were covered with blood, were removed yesterday by the prison officlals and they will be used along with the bloody knife as evidefice against him. The police claim that they have a good case agalnst Fitzgerald. In the pres- ence of Policemen Whalen and Fay Mrs. Fitzgerald pointed her finger at her hus- band and sald: ‘“He did it. It was he who cut me. He is to blame for it all.” They have the evidence of Mrs.: Char- bot Molin, 325 First street, who saw from her window the, whole brutal affair. She heard Mrs. “Fitagerald cry out: “Don't, Fitzgerald! Oh, don't, Fizger- ald!” Mrs. Molin cried out: “Oh, you brute!” ande Fitzgerald swore at her and asked her to come out and get some of the same medicine. He struck his wife re- peatedly about the head and face and when she could not get on her feet he kicked her in the face. When Mrs. Mo- lin called loudly for help Fitzgerald picked up his wife and carried her away. They also have the evidence of E. J. Burnes, 3% First street; ‘P. Block, 323 First street, and others. —_——— Discuss Geary-Street Franchise. A confererice was held yesterday, at which there were present Supervisors Eraunhart, Loughery, Wynn and Wilscn, Commissioners of Works Casey, Manson and Ohnimus ‘and City Engineer Grunsky, for the purpose of discussing the proper steps to be taken by the city in order to operate the Geary-street road on the ex- piration of the franchise next November.

There are now vacant four Episcopal pulpits in the diocese of California, all of them of prominent churches and paying large salaries. They are Christ Church, Alameda, which pays its clergyman $1500 a year and owns its own parsonage; old St. Paul's Church, Oakland, the most aris- tocratic of all Alameda County’s churches, which pays $2400 and the use of a rectory; Trinity Church, San Jose, attended by the elite, which pays its clergyman $2600 a year, and has a beauti- ful rectory besides, and St. Stephen’s of San Francisco, which gives $2000 a year to its clergyman, and will probably do better if necessary in order to provide a worthy successor to Dean Lion. Christ Church, Alameda, has called the Rev. Willlam Norman Guthrie, at present canon of St. Paul's Pro-cathedral, Cin- cinnati, Ohio, under Bishop Boyd Vincent. Mr. Guthrie has an enviable reputation call is much desired. For the present the Rev. Mr. Hume will act as rector of St. Paul's, Oakland, and the vestry is in no hurry to provide a successor to the lamented Robert Ritchie. An Eastern man will' probably be selected. Several prominent names have been suggested, but the vestry has not as yet decided to call any one. At St. Stephen’s. San Francisco. a suc- for eloquence, and his acceptance of the| cessor to the estimable Dean Lion has not yet been thought of. The parish Is too deeply stunned by its great and sud- den loss to give the subject any consid- eration. It is probablg that a clergyman of the same type of churchmanship as the late dean will be sought for, and to the right man the cordial support of an ever loyal parish will be extended. In the meantime Rev. S. J. Lee, assistant, will administer the affairs of the parish. Trinity, San Jose, is deliberating upon a successor to the tactless Mr, Mockridge. The selection of a clergyman to heal th2 divisions of the old parish is a delicate and weighty matter. The right man, no doubt, will be found soon. CATHEDRAL MISSION SECURES PROPERTY Acquires Lot on Which Building Stands and Will Now Make Improvements. By a fortunate combination of circum- stanceg and the termination of friendly negotiations, the Episcopal Church has succeeded In acquiring the ground upon which the Cathedral Mission of the Good Second street, mear TFolsom, ahd is a splendid piece of property and rapidly in- creasing in value. Certa:n improvements now be undertaken and pushed rapidly to completion. By a fortunate combination, the real property of the Mission has been acquired and is now vested in the Bishop of the diocese. With the exception of a small lability, which the Mission can easily sustain, no claim exists against it. A permanent home: for all time is now as- sured to the institution. The assets of the institution are esti- mated at 325,000, against which are liabili- ties amounting to $3000. # It 1s now proposed to add another story to the building and install therein a bowl- ing alley, billiard room and offices for the gullds, besides extending the gymnasium. New apparatus will be installed and a competent instructor in physical training secured. In all respects the Cathedral Samaritan is located. The lot stands on | which have been in contemplation will | I slon in better shape to do what it has set out to do than now. —_—e————— Campbell Must Answer.
