The building, an old one, burned furiously and this morning only the walls remain.

While they were being rushed through a street that was half blocked by repair works Marquis di Sarmiento, who was helping the ma- rines, was caught between the engines #nd crushed to death. A ladder on which were six firemen broke and all of the men were injured. One of them has since died. Nuns in a neighboring convent were im- periled, but they made no attempt to flee. The firemen broke in the barred doors and found them praying. They Wwere led to a safe place and there prayed throughout the night.

MANY SHEEPSKINS AWARDED TO INDUSTRIOUS STUDENTS Scholarly Addresses, Granting of Medals for Brilliancy in Studies and Felicitations of Friends Mark Termi- nation of Schooldays for the Youthful Graduates HE large assembly hall of St. Ig- natius College was filled to over- flowing last night with friends of the institution who had assem- bled to witness the annual grad- uation exercises. With all the scholastic pomp of this the leading Catholic insti- tution of learning on the coast the sheep- skins were awarded to those who had faithfully fulfilled the requirements of the curriculum and were ready to take their the strength which comes of learning. Masterly addresses on live subjects by members of the graduating class and a strong appeal by Archbishop Montgom- ery for the promotion of religious train- ing in the common schools of the coun- try gave to the final ceremonies a scholas- tic flavor which was characteristic of the institution. The awarding of medals for proficiency in the varlous branches of study elicited for the lucky students ap- plause which in itself was ample reward for their efforts. The college orchestra of thirty pieces opened the evening's exercises with the “‘Festvorspiel” of Zimmerman. Jonn L. Whelan then acquitted himself creditably in the introduction, which was rendered in the Latin tongue. After a further se- lection by the college orchestra there were addresses by two of the graduates. John L. Mulrenin, who had gained the degree of master of arts, spoke on “La- bor, Its Rights and Duties.” Francis L. Fenton, a second graduate, made tha, trusts his subject for exposition. Both addresses showed excellent preparation and a high degree of scholarly insight. Archbishop Montgomery, who presided in the absence of Archbishop Riordan, then conferred the degree of master of arts upon John Mulrenin and Francis L. | Fenton, and the rank of bachelor of arts upon Owen E. McCann, Michael J. Coffey and Francis X. Williams. After this final ceremony the Archbish- op delivered an address on the subject of religious education in public schools, in { which he said in part: The time was when we were accused of em if we being against the public school raised our voice for the introduction of re ligious training In public schools. But now Methodist and Hebrew, Presbyterian and Episcopalian are uniting with Catholocism in the endeavor to make religious training a part of the public school curriculum. At present only the agnostic is satisfled with the public school system. It has re- mained for the Catholic to set the standard of relizious education, which is now being followed by our sectarian brethren. We must all unite in this common cause. ————e CHILDREN SING FLOWER SONGS. St. Brigid's 'Gradurnrt‘es Listen to Voices of Little Schoolmates.

The Gage residence at 1300 Har- rison street, where the wedding was sol- | emnized, was beautifully decorated, green | and white being the general scheme. The ceremony, with Rev. James Hulme of St. Paul's Episcopal Church as the of- | ficiating clergyman, was celebrated in the | Ifbrary, the round window at one end hav- ing been converted into a bower of green crossed with heavy ropes of sweet peas. | Promptly at $;30 o’clock the orchestra, concealed behind a screen of palms, be- gan the wedding march and the folding doors of the music-room were thrown | open by the bride’'s two brothers,, George | and Stephen Gage, who acted as ushers. The bridesmaids, three abreast, led the way to where the groom and his best man, Dr. L. F. Herrick, stood waiting. The mald of honor followed and then came the bride leaning on her father's | arm. Tall and handsome, the bride never looked more charming than in her bridal | gown of rich fvory-white satin. A panel of rose point lace covered the front of the skirt and the sleeves and waist garni- ture were of the same priceless lace. A rose point bertha encircled the shoulders | and was caught together in front with long ends of chiffon and orange blossoms. Nestling in the lace was the groom’s gift, a large crescent of pearls and diamonds. The long veil was held in place with orange blossoms and a shower of lilles of the valley and tulle completed an un- usually elegant costume. The attendants were all in white, the maid of honor. Miss Alma Brown, wear- ing white chiffon, and the bridesmaids, Misses Carrle and Belle Nicholson and Miss Adah Brown, were attired in silk grenadine. Miss Brown carried a shower of maidenhair and asparagus fern and the bridesmalds’ bouquets were sweet peas in soft pastel shades. After a short honeymoon Dr. and Mrs. | Pease will return to Oakland, where they will reside, at the home of the bride's father, Stephen T. Gage. Mrs. Pease Is the last of the three Gage girls to be married, all having wedded within the last two years. She is a young woman of ex- ceptionally fine character and few can boast so many real friends. She is very talented musically and has always occu- pied a prominent social position.

L e TALK OF STAIKE T ANGELS Chnp STOCKTON, June 3.—Information from Argels Camp is to the effect that the miners are organizing there, and that be- fcre the Fourth of July there is likely to be a big strike. A miner who was in Stockton yesterday declared that a strike | was imminent unless certain demands | should be acceded to by the mine owners. The chief bone of contention is the long hours. It is said there will be no demand for a ralse in wages, but the mine owners | will be asked to reduce the working time | to at least nine hour: The miners claim | that the day shift, especially, is entirely too long. As soon as organization is com- | pieted the demand for shorter hours will | be presented to the mine owners and un- | less the demand is granted there will be a walkout of the miners on that part of | the mother lode, so it is declared. Among the mines which would be af- fected is the Lightner, owned by Stockton people; the Utica, owned by Charles Lane. and one of the biggest gold producers of | that country. i Stockton geople interested in the mines about Angels declare that there will be no strike, as the miners are perfectly sat- i=fled with the hours and wages. There are a few agitators, it is said, who, made bold by the success of the strike at Jack- son, are stirring up a controversy of four or five years’ standing. The owners de- | clare that the majority of the miners are | perfectly satisfied with the conditions. @ civirivileiiiieieiiie @ | JAL CONFRONTS COLONEL AMMON Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 3.—Colonel Robert Ammon will be brought to trial to-mor- row on the charge of having received | stolen money. The principal witne: against him will be Willlam F. Miller, head of a defunct “get-rich-quick” con- cern, formerly his client, who is now in the Tombs, having been brought back | from Sing Sing for the approaching trial. Both sides have announced themselves ready, and it is belleved that more than | one sensation will appear before the jury shail have rendered its verdict. One of these will be the naming of a hitherto reputable lawyer as a dispenser of bribes For nearly three hours to-day, Assist- ant District Attorneys Hart and Knott| were with Miller in the Tombs hospital. With them he went over the history of the Franklin Syndicate. He told how the «get-rich-quick” scheme originated, and he told when Colonel Ammon was brought into the deal. He traced a part of the proceeds into the office of Colonel Am- mon, declaring that his former counsel fully understood that the money which was handed to him wes the very money which was stolen from confiding sub- scribers to the Franklin Syndicate. Ammon has had an advehturous career. Twenty years ago he decided to try his| peculiar talents in California. Within six months of his arrival on the Pacific slcpe he was over head and ears in the | fight waged by the Democrats and the | anti-monopolists against the Republican party. Denis Kearney, the sand-lot| orator, was at the height of his career at this time. His anti-Chinese platform | had won thousands of supporters. He | was a national character when “Bob” | Ammon reached the coast. | A fight between the rival factions in the anti-Monopoly party, with Denis Kear- ney leading one faction and *“Bob” Am- mon the other, began in 1883 There was a gathering of anti-monopoly delegates | in Sacramento to settle the question of | disputed delegations and Ammon and Kearney came into collision. Ammon won, his fight and threw the sand-lot orator bodily out of the running. He carried his delegates to the State con- vention at San Jose, where, by virtue of his power as sergeant-at-arms of the conyention, General George A. Stoneman was nominated and subsequently elected | Govermor of the State. But Stoneman forgot his friends, disgusted the anti-| monopoly politiclans of California and | A. Ammon turned his face east- : and returned to New York. then Denis Kearney has become a t, while Ammon has run through two fortunes and is scheming to make money by means more or less questionable. —_——— Former San Franciscan Kills Himself.

Baker, a cook in the Palace Hotel, fired three wild shots at his wife and then fatally shot himself yesterday afternoon. The tragedy grew out of & domestic difficulty and occurred in {he, | hallway of a lodging house at 216 Sixth street. An effort to effect a recomeilia~ tion with the woman led to a dispute, the exact nature of which has not yet been determined. The angered man bounded into the hallway, firing as h ran, and finally sank on the stairway, blood cozing from a wound in his head. Baker and his wife had been married for some time. Recently infelicity found its way into their affairs and they sepa~ rated. As late as May 13 Baker inserted a notice in a morning paper that he would be no longer responsible for debts contracted by his wife and this action only served to intensify the bitterness on both sides. Soon afterward the hus- seemed to relent and a desire to be once more united to the woman filled® him. He sent her notes and bothered her with pleadings and promises of a better future. Previous to the separation their home had been at 4213 Eighteenth street. Afterward Mrs. Baker secured emplof= ment and moved to the house on Sixth street. Baker searched in vain for his wife seve eral days. She evidently feared him and kept her address a secret. Finally he scented a trail, when her trunks were moved from her former residence, and taking advantage of it found her and had since been incessant in his entreaties. So great was the annoyance to the woman that her brother, Frank John, wrote Ba- ker, threatening to “kneck nis block off” and “take a hand in the affair” himself if he did not desist. These threats evis dently did not cause Baker to waver in his determination to win back the affec- tions of his wife, for he went to the lodg- ing-house yesterday with a token of peace in the nature of a birthday gift and asked to see her. Being refused admission, he sent up the following note: Dear Wife: 1 cannot help will take from me a birthday your husband, me to do so. or care for me, to ask if you gift. As I am it is no more than right for No matter if you don't love I love you in spite of all of that and cannot feel happy.

Now remember I don't want to see your presemt or you either. Baker did not leave, however, but in some manncr gained admission to hig wife's room.

Once out- side the door, she screamed for help, and | Policemen W. G. Brown and W. Krueger I w ran to the scene. Mrs. Baker hurried away without the knowledge that after firing the last shot at her her husband had placed the revolver against his own temple and sent a ball into his brain. The policemen found Baker on the stair way, unconscious, and took him to the Central Emergency Hospital, where he expired a few hours later.
