This name is identified with the heavy shipping interests of | an Atlantic steamship line of freight- | ers. The wedding will take place Satur- day in San Francisco, where, aftet a short wedding trip, the couple will make their home. Ten years ago Mrs. Moss, then as now a striking beauty, wedded aged Franklin Moss. The rich old man died two years after the marriage. Children | of Moss by a former marriage opposed their father’s union. Even after the marriage the Moss children did not relent. They waited until after their father’s death and then attacled his will, which had made | Jiberal provision for the surviving wife. There was contest enough over the es- tate, but the young widow sustained | ber ground and was allowed to take her inheritance. i Mrs. Moss has large holdings in Ala- meda County, owning many acres along the San Leandro road, improved real estate in Oakland and considerable income property in San Francisco. For several years Mrs. M_ss had not mingled in society affairs, because of a distressing experience when one of her most ardent devotees ended his own life In her presence because she had declined to receive his attentions. For some time Mrs. Mcss has been quietly residing in apartments in the Playter block. The bridegroom prospective has a | wide reputation in manufacturing cir- cles as an inventor and patentee. His family descends from one of the oldest colonial Dutch settlers in Pennsyl- vania. | ———————— GRAND ORATOR ENTERTAINS REPRESENTATIVE MASONS { i l | | No Change Made in Per Capita Tax for Maintenance of Home—Veter- ans Elect New Officers.

They allege that they purchased the tickets in St. Louis for the round trip and that they had them validated on the day they started to return by the agent of the Southern Pacific Com- pany in this city.

He ar- rived at this port last Wednesday on the steamship Mariposa from Papeete, and was accompanied by two officers of the French navy and A. F. Ducor- ron, Vice and Deputy Consul of the United States at Tahiti. The United States Quarantine De- partment notified United States Im- migrant Inspector A. de la Torre Jr. that Justice Horville was suffering with tubercles on the lungs and that the same was regarded by the serv- ice as being infectious. Acting Im- migrant Commissioner Charles tions and received a telegram yester- day from F. H.

Jan John Rae, a deaf and dumb man, who arrived from Victoria yes- terday on the steamship Umatilla, was forbidden to land by Immigrant In- spector Crawford, on the ground that by reason of his infirmity he was like- 1v to become a charge upon the State.

He| | took the matter under advisement and | | will analyze the writings. The discrep- | iancles in the documents are apparent | even on cursory examination. There are | interlineations in which the characters | | are not the same as those in the body of the. alleged will, and ‘‘Rooney” is | spelled two ways and once with a small r. The word ‘“one” is also spelled “wan” in an interlineation, and there are evidences of tracing. | In his argument Attorney-W. M. Can- {non, representing Mrs. Spafford, de- clared that the second of the papers, the one disposing of Mary Rooney’s I;zuoo‘ was a rank forgery. He also in- | timated that some of the letters in this | document and its signature are very | similar to the writing of Mary Ryan, ! principal beneficiary and applicant for | its admission to probate. Mary Rooney was a house servant and worked for twenty-two years in| | one family. Out of her savings she| bought proverty in Oakland, which she | sold for $2650. Of this sum she had $2000 | 'in a bureau, drawer when she died on | | January 27. The wills, one of which| only provided for her burial, were both | dated October 8, 1903, some time after | she had left the hospital suffering from | partial paralysis. To Mary Ryan, in| whose house she lived, she left $400; to | Katherine Conroy, Elizabeth Bradley | and Mary Conroy was given each $100, | and there were various provisions for her fungral expenses, masses and small bequests to clergymen. Her sister, Mrs. | Spafford, was cut off with $L. Mrs. | Ryan, Mrs. Conroy and Mrs. Bradley | were witnesses to the signing of the | wills, and testified that they all signed | at the same time, notwithstanding the | evident" difference in the color of the/ ink and heaviness of the pen used. | It appeared from the evidence of these beneficiaries that Mrs. Rooney had a great aversion for her sister and would | not see her during her illness. She even | instructed Mrs. Ryan, it is said, to | chop tip her trunk and keep the sister from getting it. On the stand Mrs. Spafford declared | that she had had no quarrel with her sister, but that Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. Conroy kept them from meeting and in- spired Mary Rooney’s feeling of hatred. ——————— The tomahawk that Tecumseh. the} famous Indian chief, carried when he/ was killed is exhibited in the Kentucky | building at the World's Fair.

James Rea thinks that his former wife, Lena, or her attorney, played him a mean trick, and upon his rep- resentations Judge Troutt has de- cided to investigate., Mrs. Rea sued for divorce last January and got a de- cree on February 24 for $25 a month alimony and, $50 counsel fees. On September 8 an execution was levied against Rea on the judgment and he did not know of it until October when he returned from a fishing trip to Alaska. He says that when she filed her suit he went to her attor- ney and told him the action would be defended. The attorney, he says, told a2 | him that if he would offer no opposi- tion to the suit the plaintiff would waive all claim to alimony, fees and On that account he made no answer. Now he wants the judgment modifled. A writ of habeas corpus was ap- plied for yesterday by Swan Ander- son, who was arrested by the Sheriff on October 12 on an order of Judge Sloss, who found him guilty of con- tempt for failure to pay alimony to his wife.
