Since the printers walk- €d out yesterday morning, the troubles have remained in an unsettled con- dition. The Lithograph Company is embarrassed at the present time owing | to the shortage caused in #ts working forces by the strike instituted against it by the dirsatisfied employes. There is no settlement in sight as yet. The members of the Stablemen’s | Union gathered in force last night at Foresters' Hall to consider plans for | the adjustment of the differences that have arisen between then and their | | employers. A lengthy argument was | indulged in and it was late in the Mi"m when the meeting broke up. Many members of the union favored an adjustment of the issues in ques- | tion rather than go out on a strike. | The Labor Council seems not inclined to \mp.flhip with the stablemen in | their stand against the proprietors of the 11\ Y stables in this city. { The entertainment held by Carpen- | | ters’ Union No. 483, in Lyric Hall, on | | Bddy street, was a grand success.

The lead missile passed between the lobes of the brain in the anterior portion and to its course is attributed the reason for | Purcell surviving as long as he has. The shooting took place in the bath- room of the Purcell home at 1122 Union street. Purcell, who is employed as a teller ! in the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco, |arose at his usual time this morning |and entéred the bathroom. Shortly thereafter his wife and brother-in-law, Peter Higging, were alarmed by the re- port of a pistol in the apartment. Upon | opening the bathroom door they. found | Purcell lying on the floor with blood | pouring from his mouth. He was con- scious and remained so until Dr. W, A, who was summoned, arrived. After being removed to the Alameda | Sanitorium the patient was conscious and unconscious by turns. ‘WAS MODEL HUSBAND. What prompted Purcell to attempt self-destruction has not been definitely those who know him He was happy in his home as- | sociations and a model husband and father. He has always enjoyed a repu- | tation for honesty and integrity and was true to his friends and charitable to others. His wife stated to Dr. W. O.

Chew Lan Ong must die on the scaffold by order of the Supreme Court. The Chinaman murdered a countryman and when arraigned en- tered a plea of guilty. The Judge sen- tenced him to be hanged at San Quen- tin June 6, 1902. An appeal was tak- en and a stay was secured. The defendant’s attorney argues that his client should have necessar- ily had a jury trial and that the Judge had no authority to fix the degree of murder. The Supreme Court cites numerous cases to prove the cnn- trary. It is declared that Chew Lan Ong must again be taken before the | Judge and resentenced, so that the Warden of San Quentin will get the necessary order to execute the de- fendant. An appeal in behalf of Lee Fook, also sentenced to death for murder, was denied by the Supreme Court yu- terday.
