She breathed her last yesterday morning, twenty-four hours af- ter assuming the name of the man she met and loved in old Mexico when a girl nearly forty years ago. Circumstances separated the lives of | the pair in Durango, where the bride of but a day was born. When Uzeta learned of the whereabouts of the sweetheart of his boyhood he was an old man, but came to Alameda to be near her in his declining years.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10.—As a result of a trivial street car accldent two weeks ago, followed by a courtship, most of which occurred on a street car, Miss Anna Thorne, daughter of & Chicago manufacturer, and who s sald to be wealthy in her own right, to-night be- came the bride of Wesley ‘Henry Pico, grandson of General Pio Pico, the last Mexican Governor of California before the American occupation. The bridegroom has been for years a conductor on the lines of the Los Angeles Railway Company and the bride came here about a month ago with her mother to spend the winter. While she was rid- | ing on his car there was a slight colli- sion, in which she was throwh off her seat. Pico picked her up and expressed such | solicitude for her safety that she was at- tracted to him. She sought him out the next day to thank him and spent an hour or more on his car. That was the beginning of the court- ship, and almost every day thereafter she rode on that car and whenever he could spare a moment they conversed. The culmination came to-night, when the cou- | ple secured a license just before the court- house closed and, going. to the residence t Justice Pearce, were married without any of their friends being the wiser until after the ceremony. They will now go to Chicago and will probably reside there. ©-- ® FOR FREE TRADE Illinois Manufacturers Addressed by Cana- dian Lawmaker.

They celebrated with the same fervor as they celebrate everything else and the patient old ax was cheered and feted un- til it was ready to go bacxk into its dark stall until another year shall have rolled by. The revered weapon first came down the football fleld In the arms of “Ovie” Over- all, captain of the football cleven, in Wwhose wake trailed the band and a long line of rollicking, roystering students, performing the serpentine dance with the whole world for a ballroom. The ax looked a little the worse for wear, for its long wooden arm was long ago cut into souvenirs and fts edge is not so fine, but decrepit, as it was it furnished enough inspiration to last all year. Captain Overall made a little speech be- fore the bieachers that pleased everybody. He sald he had hidden the sacred ax in a safe place and now was glad to bring it out Into the light again and turn it oves to the next -custodian—"Heinie" Heitmuller, the big right tackle on the varsity team. Heitmuller accepted the Wweapon and promised to take good care of it until the next rally. “T'll hide it away'so that even Sherlock H(;(limes won't be able to find it,” ‘“Hetnie" sald. The “rooters” then formed another ser- pentine and escorted Heltmuller and the ax to the gymnasium steps, where there was more yelllng and more speeches. Clinton Miller, who helped to purloin the ax, told all about how it was done and put in some touches that made everybody laugh. “The Stanford fellows wouldn’t give up the ax when we wanted it,” said Miller, ““and so we just took it away from them. It was a hard fight, but we won. ‘Billy’ Drumm, the sprinter, got away with it at last and after going in a roundabout way we managed to get back to Berkeley.” Everett Brown, who hemped get away with the ax, gave a few more of the de- tails of the capture. He =aid he didn't know whether he was a hero or a rogue, but if he was a rogue he liked the punish- ment.

The _l!lal of the $25,000 breach of prom- 1se suit brought by Mary Lanigan against Datvid Neeley, the weaithy Berkeley nur- sery man, was begun before Judge Hall to-day. The plaintiff nursed Neeley's wife prior to her death and it is alleged he became enamored of her charms. According to the plaintiff’s story she was to wait a [ yeaf before he would legally make her his wife and publicly proclaim it to the world, as he had scruples as to the pro- priety of marrying in haste. Mrs. Neeley died on June 13, 1901. The son born to the plaintiff is now a bounc- ing boy of eight months and she asserts that the putative father still refuses to keep his alleged promise to marry her. She has tired of waiting and now wants 325,000 as balm for her disappointment as the result of her misplaced confidence. Neeley was in court to-day and took considerable interest in the proceedings. Neither the mother nor the child, how- ever, was present, but it is stated that they will be on hand when the plaintiff’s testimony is needed. ——————— PHYSICIAN'S 'MOBILE RUNS INTO EARTH PILE Dr. N.

Bisisr e S Speclal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Late ' to-day there was a report that J. Plerpont Mor- | gan would retire from active business on January 1 next, or as soon thereafter as his affairs can be arranged. It was im- possible to get any word from Morgan. Even should he make up his mind to retire, it is the opinion of several men that great Influence will be brought to induce him to change his determination. It is known that Morgan has felt keen- ly the criticism directed against him be- cause of the shrinkage in value of steel trust securities and the misfortunes of the ocean steamship trust, which devel- oped criticism abroad. But he felt most of all the revelations which have come out of the investigation into the shipbuild- ing scandal. Morgan's friends say that he has been forced to bear the blame for the indiscretions of others. Many - times within the past few days he has referred to what he calls “an idiotic war,” meaning the hammering of steel stocks. It is not believed that in any event will Morgan sever his connection ‘with the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., or with any of its branch firms, but if he. should re- tire it will simply be from all great or- ganization and reorganization undertak- ings. —_——————— Fire Destroys a Passenger Steamer.

Bank Paper Sent to Postal Official Who Cannot Find Explanation. et i) Oakland Office San Franeisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Nov. 1. Under circumstances which enshroud | the oceurrence in the shadow of strasge and inexplicable mystery, a ceruieate of deposit for $150 has fallen into the hands of Charles Harrington, superintendent of the money order department of the Oak- land postoffice. The paper was issued by Charles E. Palmer, cashier of the Unlon National Bank of this city, and the inci- dents cotnected with that transaction only serye to helghten the pecullar con- ditions which were disclosed to-day. Two women went to the cashier's win- dow at the bank a week ago yesterday and requested Cashier Palmer to Issue a certificate of deposit for $150. One of | the wqmen, who was quietly weeping and appeared to be under str of conside: | abie emotion, placed $150 in gold on the counter. DRAWN BY UNENOWN. Cashier Palmer drew out a certificate | book and started to flil out the sheet. He inquired in whose name he should draw the certificate of deposit. The weep- ing woman answered that she did not | destre her name to appear on the paper. | But the cashier insisted that this was | quite an unusual method and he again | requested that a name be given. His cus- tomer repeated that she would not have her name written on the certificate, so Cashier Palmer desisted, and noted that | the certificate was drawn by “unknown. | "But the mysterious patron knew in | whose favor she desired the certificate | @rawn and she did not hesitate when asked to sign a payee's name. It was ‘Charles Harrington” and so it appears on the document as Superintendent Har- rington received it last evening through | the United States malls. ‘After the women left the bank that day | nothing more was heard nor seen of the | certificate unitil Harrington got an en- | velope addressed to him at the Oakland It was a plain, white com- mercial size envelope, the address being in a conventional and uncharacteristic hand, which might have been written by a man or a woman. There was apparent- | ly no attempt to disguise the chirography. The envelope bore postmark of yesterday, | exactly a week after the certificate was issued. Ovening | postoffice. Superintendent Harrington found the certificate and nothing else. His first impulse as he | glanced at the unfolded paper and saw | the inscription, “unknown,” at the top line was to tear it up and throw it away. the envelope, “I thought it was a ‘fake’ advertise- | ment,” sald Superintendent Harrington to-day. “But my name caught my eye before I started to destroy the paper, and then I read it carefully. Of course it did | not require a second reading to discover that this was apparently a genuine draft | for $150, but strange to say I have not | been able to get the slightest clew to the sender. “There it is, made out to ‘unknown.’ Who that ‘unknown’ is I am not pre- pared to say, for I have not any way of discovering just now.” HARRINGTON SHIES. Harrington waited until the Union Na- tional Bank opened this morning and went there to ascertaln what were the circumstances of the issuance of the pa- per. Cashier Palmer's story only in- | creased the mysterious features and left | both banker and postal official in the air. The banker had no means of knowing what the “unknown’” was and could shed but little light on the transaction. He recalled the fact that the two women had | bought the certificate, because he remem- bered the circumstance of the refusal of the purchaser to identify herself with the certificate. Further than that he could say nothing. Cashier Palmer was ready to cash the certificate as soon as Harrington pre- sented it_ but the superintendent was not ready to take the coin, as he desired first to know whence, from whom and for what reason it was sent to him. “I have had some queer experiences in my time,” said Harrington, “but this is somewhat unusual, to say the least. I | do not object to the money coming my way, but when weeping women, who will not disclose their identity, are tangled up fn it I want to know a little something about it.” Harrington sald he has set an Investi- gation, going in the hope of clearing up the mystery, but he thinks his chances are somewhat remote. “T am the only Harrington in the Oak- land postoffice,” continued he, “and this letter is plainly and clearly addresspd to me as any one can see. If it is a case of mistaken identity the man who gets the draft will have to make a strong | showing on the question as to the woman that bought it ——————e OAKLAND, Nov. 10.—The following toarriage licenses wers issued by the Coun- ty Clerk to-day: Frank C.
