He had climbed over the roofs of houses on Dupont street from Sacramento to reach the paroch- residence. John Baker, ing d about tra the butler, saw sliding down the balustrade and raised | an alarm. Clancy dashed out of the front door, pursued by Baker, and af- ter a chase of se\?ral blocks Clancy ran into the arms of Policeman Grun- wald, who took him to the City Prison. An investigatioa showed that Clan- cy had made a thorough search 'n the. library for something that he could carry away with him and rell without trouble, but nothing was missing and when searched at the City | Prison nothing. of an incriminating nature was found upon him. For the last six months articles have been stolen from the parochial residence, but no clew could be got to the thief or how he could possibly have obtained an entrance. It is now suspected that Clancy has been the thief and that he followed the same course in climbing over the roofs. Clancy has served a term of six months for vagrancy and was released &bout the beginning of the year. —t——e e Alaska Excursion< Scason 1904.

He intimated that as the papers by which it is alleged that money was fraudulently obtained were not signed | by the defendant, but by Bernard Ett- linger, the wrong man was being pros- ecuted. The case is dragging along slowly, | and the greater portion of the day was him | occupied in arguing on technical points, enlivened only -by an occasional inter- change of compliments between oppos- ing counsel. Frank S. Mitchell, who for a number of years was employed as bookkeeper for Eppinger & Co. and | at present is assisting Mr. Wadsworth, the receiver of the defunct firm, was recalled to the stand yesterday morn- ing. The prosecution questioned him regarding certain books which he had previously stated were in Eppinger & Co.’s office and might have been the grain beoks of the Pacific Warehouse Company. He stated, however, that he had examined the books and they were not the missing grain books. What has become of these books is a mystery. They disappeared at the time of the failure of the firm, and all attempts to locate them have proved futile. In these books was kept a record of the grain actually in the warehouse, and if fraud has been committed they would be of immeasurable value to the prose- | cution. Another witness, H. C. Bunker, grain inspector for the Merchants’ Exchange, testified as to the shipment of the spe- cific lots of wheat on which the money was loaned. He said that on December 5 he went to Crockett at the request of the grain committee of the Merchants’ Exchange tQ examine some wheat, and while there saw lots B 707 and 708 weighed and loaded on the bark Pierre Loti. This was four months before the loan was made on warehouse receipts for these lots of wheat. The witness wished to refresh his memory regarding the location of grain piles from a letter press copy of memoranda made by himself, but this was not permitted, and he was excused until the original can be secured. J. J. McAvoy, a deputy grain in- spector, testified that he had delivered a blank form for a report as to the amount of grain on hand at the office of the Pacific Coast Warehouse Com- pany on the first of each month, and they were always returned to him prop- erly filled out by the bookkeeper. He had never received one fPfom either of the Eppingers of from Mr. Ettlinger. The case was continued until Mon- day, and in the meantime the jurors will be taken out for an airing to some point they may select within the city limits. f —————————— Threat of Suicide.

Drill for Moving Pictures | | | | { | | | to Be Shown at St Louis| | At the request of the California Promotion Committee four crews of the San Francisco Fire Department gave an exhibition drill at the drilling | tower on Seventeenth street, near Fol- som, yesterday afternoon. Moving pictures were taken of the operations during the drill and these will be ex- hibited at the St. Louis World’s Fair | to acquaint the world with the ef-!| ficiency and equipment of the San Francisco Fire Department. Four crews took part in the drill, which consisted of hose work, pom- pier ladder and belt maneuvers, Ben- gal ladder drill and rescue work. So rapidly were the maneuvers accom- plished that only 250 yards of the pic- ture tape was required to take all the impressions of the drill. The oper- ator said it was the best series of] moving pictures he had ever taken. | The hose drill consisted in taking a 100-foot line of hose from the ground to the top of the tower while! the remainder of the crew attached hose to the standpipe hydrants at the second, third and fourth stories of the tower and carried the lfnes to the roof: One minute and forty-two seconds after the. alarm four streams were playing from the top of the tower. The pompier ladder and belt drill copsisted in raising scaling ladders from the ground to the top of the tower, up which a fireman rushed. Once on top of the roof the fireman seized a comrade, attached him to his pompier belt with a rope and de- scended on the scaling line rapidly and safely to the/ ground. The extension ladder drill foliowed and fifty feet of the tower was scaled with a line of hose within a few sec- onds. The last and most thrilling feat was when a fireman threw himself at random from the fourth story of the tower and was caught in the life net as easlly as an expert player would catch a ball. The drill was in charge of Secord Assistant Chief Shaughnessy and he was very proud of the work of the men. He said it was one of the most perfect drills he had ever witnessed in the department. —_—————— Found Unconscious in Gutter. The police are investigating the case of Sie Hashimoto, Japanese maid for Mrs. W. J. Anderson, 3645 Clay street. She was found in an unconscious con- dition in the gutter on Sacramento street, near Spruce, on Tuesday night and was taken to the California Chil- dren’s Hospital and next morning re- gained consciousness. There was an abrasion on her forehead and cheek bone. She said she remembered leav- ing the car, but whether she fell from it and staggered to the gutter where she was found she has no recollec- tion. Detectives Bunner an? Freel are Working on the case. ! —_————— Do you wear glasses: Properly fitting glasses and Murine Eye Remedy pro- mote Eye comfort. Murine makes weak eyes strong.

The examination made by the surgeons and others who | had the case in charge established be- |yond a doubt that he deliberately From the position and appearance of the body he must have stood directly in front of the mirror, and, then pressing the pistol close in | the flesh, directly over his heart, he fired the fatal shot. His entire heart and the portions immediately sur- rounding it were torn into fragments, causing a wound of enormous size. The bullet passed through his body, | and,, sir!kmg his spinal column, shat- tered it in two. Death was instan- taneous. The reasons and causes for the un- timely end of this brilliant young of- ficer are still shrouded in the deepest | mystery. The sensation of his death and his funeral were the sole topics of conversation outside of business af-| fairs at army headquarters yesterday. No one could offer any solution for his mysterious’ taking off, but one and all his friends (and he seemed to be well known throughout the whole army circle here) spoke of him with the highest regard and regrets at his un- timely death. GLOOM AT HEADQUARTERS. A spirit of gloom pervaded all the offices at army headquarters, Major 8. W. Dunning, in speaking of the nt-" fair, said: “I can see no possible reason for Captain Wild’s rash act. He was a! brave man and was never a coward. If there was a mysterious something in the background I do not think that |tled into a chronic melancholia.

Cawley swal- lowed carbolic acid yesterday morning despite the struggles of his wife to pre- vent it and died within a few minutes. | Some of the corrosive fluid was spilled on the left side of her face, burning | her severely. Cawley was 26 years old and a mem- ber of the Seventieth Company of Coast Artillery. He had been eight years in the army and had only a year and four months more to serve. He married his { wife during his present term of enlist- ment and was very anxious to obtain his discharge frop the army. Mrs. Cawley was working as a waitress in the Palm restaurant, on Market street, and says that she gave Captain John- son $65 as necessiary expenses for the | obtaining of her husband’'s discharge. Colonel Morris disapproved of the ap- plication and Captain Johnson returned the money to Mrs. Cawley. Cawley was very morose over the| failure to obtain his discharge, and set- left his wife’s room at 3026 Pierce street yesterday morning a little before 7 o'clock and returned in a few minutes| with a package in his hand as she was | starting for her work In answer to her question as to the package he replied that it was a bottle of liniment.

Morrow, who was also an | intimate friend, was entirely at a loss | to account for the motive of Captain Wild's death. Of course, there are many rumors flying through the build- | ing that the affair with the fascinating ' Mrs. Evelyn’ Pittman probably had something to do with it. That he was her devoted friend until a few months For the | last few months, however, they had been very little together, although he | fréquently telephoned to her flat and only last week went to call upon her, but he was told that she was “not at home.” It was also rumored that he had acted as attorney for Captain Hector A. Robichon. This case is again to be opened up in August and it is thought possible he might again be dragged into further notoriety and de- cided to put an end to matters before they had gone any farther. FULL MILITARY RITES. The funeral took place yesterday morning from the late quarters of the | suicide at Angel Island. The body lay | in state until about 1:30, attended by a guard of soldiers. It was then borne | to the steamer McDowell and brought | to this city. It was accompanied by\ Colonel A. C. Markley, Adjutant Eu-‘ gene McAlexander, Captain J. R.| Lindsey, Captain A. S. Kerwin, Cap- | tain Samuel L. Faison, Captain F. P. | Lieutenant A. C. Arnold. When the McDowell reached the | Clay-street wharf the funeral party | was received by Major Morrow, Major | A. R. Paxton, Captain Charles R.! Howland and a large number of rep- | resentative men from the Bohemian | Club. The body was placed upon a ! caisson, drawn by six magnificent ! black chargers. The casket was| covered with the American flag, which was almost hidden from view by a| great wealth of floral offerings. | Preceded by the band and followed | by officers, friends and a company of | the Thirteenth Infantry, the cortege | slowly moved up East street to the ferry depot, from which point the body was sent East to the father and| mother of the deceased, now residing in Chicago. An investigation into the causes of his death will be commenced next week, but the board has not yet been appointed. ———————— Harbor Case Goes Over. Nothing was accomplished yester- day by the Harbor Commissioners to- ward deciding the truth of the charge made by Charles J. Lercarl against ‘Wolf & Son relative to illegal discrim- ination in business on the Washing- ton-street wharf. The reason was that Attorney J. B. Reinstein, who is counsel for Wolf & Son and others, sent a lett~~ in*which the board was informed that he was too ill to appear. As a consequence th2 final proceedings in the Lercari-Wolf case and the tes- timony in other cases went over until this forenoon. —_————————— Uses Wagon for Pilferings.

The peopl | were, however, equal to the emer | gency. They wrote to the California | State Board of Trade concerning their | |needs and wishes. Manager Arthur | R. Briggs, as soon as he received their letter, sent out a circular communica- | non addressed to the drug trade of Francisco, in which it was asked San that Hornbrook should be borne in mind.
