In a curt letter Morton dismissed for in- subordination Archibald C. Haynes, gen- eral agent for the metropolitan district, who has dope so large a business for the company that his commissions have brought him an income as large, if not larger, than that of the soclety's presi- dent. | Haynes' removal is another victory for Gage BE.

The general agent's position has been one of great strength. Feeling keenly the vicissitudes of the 120 or more sub-agents under his direction, due to the slump of Equitable business, he made no secret of his disgust a few days ago when Tarbell refused his request that they be permitted to take commissions from eother companles. He called a meeting of the agents in his office and in a speech abused roundly the soclety’s methods and bitterly scored Tarbell. ————— FRENCH STEAMER TRIGNAC STILL REMAINS ON ROCKS She Is im a Bad Position aad Her Cargo of Corn Is Being Jettisoned.

Special Diepatch to The Call. DENVER, July 28.—The famous divorce | case of Louise M. Nishwitz against Wil- liam Nishwitz at Littieton, Colorado, has been settled, the woman belng ordered to pay her husband $15,000 alimony. This is Colorado where a woman has been com- pelled to pay her husband alimony. For more than three years the su.t has been in the courts, When first filed Mrs. Nish- witz asked for a divorce, alleging that her husband treated her with cruelty. Nishwitz clalmed that his wife had $iv,- 000 in money and property of which she was desirous of defrauding him. First they tried the case in the County Court and the woman was granted a ‘divorce. The husband, however, would not give .in so easlly, so to the District Court of Mesa County went the litigants and there a like result was obtained. The Deita District Court was the next place and there Mrs. Nishwitz was also upheld in her suit. Then to the Supreme Court went Nish#itz, and there the case rested some time. Finally the Supreme Court sent it back to the court at Little- ton and ordered a verdict for Nishwitz, who, although he does not support a wife, Is to recelve $15,000 alimony. ————— PLOT AGAINST LIFE OF SULTAN FOUND Weapons and Documents Dis- covered in Houses in Roumania.

(ONTINUES 10 SPREAD —_— Twenty-One More Cases in New Orleans. Three Patients Die of Yellow Fever Dur- ing Day. - Quarantine Against Infected Gity Established at Many Points, NEW ORLEANS, July 28.—An official report of 21 new cases of yellow fever and 3 deaths occurring during the day | was made to the to-day, 'n State Health Board a ‘total- of 227 cases and 47 ths to date. Of the new cases all except fwo are Italians. Many leading cities throughout the South to-day put In force quarantine regulations agzinst Néw Orleans. De- spite the fact that the &uthorities ¢laim to huve the situation well in hand. the present epidemic has already assumed alarming proportions. Business in many parts of the State is almost at a stand- still. There is great fear that ships which recently left here will earry the fever to Northern ports, To-day’'s official report shows that the entire section above -Canal street was free from a single new ecase, and that the fever was spreading only In the poorer habitations of the down- town sectlon, with new cases isolated except In the Leart 6f the French mar- ket qaarte: ‘he heaiwn guthoritles conttn “also that the plague mat an jan jefection.

WILL VISIT, EVERY HOUSE. The first death in the Emergency Hos- pital occurred to-day. The hospital was opened yesterddy with thirteen cases and an equal number was added to-day. In- to the hospital are being sent the worst cases of Indigent unfortunates. It is therefore expected that the mortality in this direction will be unusuaily high. One case has been reported at Tampa, Fla., of an Italian refugee from New Orleans, and’ there were reports of cases in Loufsiana Parishes St. Mays, Ascen- cion and Plaquemine, Holding up notices will be put up on roads sur- rounding New Orleans to turn back every Italian who makes his appearance, and the bars have been put up all over the State against that nationality in particu- lar. Two Italians who managed to board a Mississippl Valley train yesterday were locked in a car which was sidetracked at Baton Rouge last night and sent back to New Orleans to-day. The quarantine put on by the Central and South -American countries and the Indies against New Orleans is arousing the population fo a supreme effort to wipe out the infection. It is known that Havana, Vera Cruz, Tampico and other former centers of yellow fever are tak- ing precautions to protect themselves against communication withw New Or- leans. Nicaragua, however, is an excep- tion and her Consul his informed the au- thorities here that no bar will be up against the city. There is, however, lit- .| tie advantage in that. The system of inspection which went into effect to-day contemplates a visit to every house in the city so that no case The city has been divided into a large num- | ber of districts. Each inspector is pro- vided with a large oil can from which he is directed to pour oil on all exposed wa- ters, tubs, clsterns and pools. Mayor Bohrman has received a tele- graphic offer of funds from President Tyler of the Howard Association of Charleston. He has replied thanking the people of Charleston for their sympathy, but saying that the situation is well in hand here, and_ that no financlal aid is needed from the outside. Other tenders of help have been received. Rev. Dr. Beverly Warner, who recently returned here from Philadelphia, to-day opened offices in one of the prominent of- fice buildlngs. He has been made super- intendent of cleaning and sanitation. Al the wards in the city will report to him. Screening 1s to be accomplished in a novel way.

A call was sent to the hospital and a doctor went to the scene of the accident, but before he ar- rived Murphy regained consciousness and wanted to go to work again.

N OAKLAND Buildings on Right, of Way Being Torn Down. Many Landmarks Re-| moved in Providing ‘For Terminal. Board of Trade Hopes to Have | General Shops Located on Bay Shore. The Western Pacific Rallway Com- pany hasWinally begun clearing ifs| rights of way across the bay prepara- | tory to building the new Gould line | that will_give San Francisco another | outlet to the East by way of Salt Lake, | and materially ald in the future de-| velopment of California. Yesterday | work on the new road’s terminus in Oakland was inaugurated and in a manner that plainly indicated that the company has started out in earnest to make way for the more important grading and construction work that is soon to follow. Gangs of men were sent out yester- day to various points on the right of way in East Oakland, between Thir- teenth -and Twenty-third avenues, where there has stood for many years | buildings that at one timé constituted thie oid town of San Antonio. Most of | these sfructures were bullt prier teo 1870 and many of them as far back as 1862 and have been used in late years as storehouses and mills. One of the first of the buildings to be demolished was the old Swett Hall on Commerce street. Forty -years ago, during the wur days, this building furnished shel- ter to the Brooklyn Guards, command- €d by W. H. H, Hamilton, and after- ward it was used as a meeting place for the:.inhabitants of that section of Alameda County. But sentiment does not enter into the business affalrs of modern railroad enterprises and the old Swett buillding was attacked yesterday by the gang of demolishers with as much énergy as were some of the less historieal structures. TO RUSH TERMINAL WORK. It was stated yesterday by the offi- clals in charge of the work across the bay that clearing of the rights of way of the road will be rushed ahead as fast as pessible in anticipation of the early inauguration of grading operations. The lattér work, it is expected, will be started within the next ninety days by the contractors, ‘'who are now as- sembled in New York awaiting the opening of the bids on Monday. The Western Pacific already has a few hundred feet of track laid in East Oak- land to hold its franchise and it is ex- pected .that fhese rails will form a nucleus for .a temporary terminal, upon which the company can handle its building machinery and material. . Sim- ilar provisions are soon to be made at Oroville and other points along the route of the new road in Northern Cali- fornia, yet to be designated by the con- tracting firms. For several days the company has had agents at work along its proposed term- inal sites in Olkhng. notlfying tenants | of vroperties it has lately acquired to vacate, and octupants of tracts ‘of land in ths upper part of the State are soon to be served with like notices. By the time the construction firms are ready to grade the route the preliminary. work will have been completed and the hard task of creating a firm yoadbed for what promises to be the finest constructed line in the West will be able to progress without unnecessary Interruption. The people of Oakland look forward to the construction of the Western Pacific with the deepest concern, for its com- pletion. means* much to the commercial interests of that city. Although it is not generally known the Western Pacific Company has quietly acquired an acreage for terminals in West Oakland that near- ly equals that of the Southern Pacific Company, and it is upon this property that the Gould people contemplate estab- lishing the company’s terminal buildings. Naturally these improvements promise great development to that section of Alameda County, both in the way of commerce and population. Much recla- mation work is also being planned along the shore line in order to-afford facilities for dockage and wharves. TO ABSORB COAL ROAD. H. H. Griffiths, attorney for the Ala- meda Cdunty and San Joaquin Railroad, which is the corporate name of the coal road running from Stockton to Tesla in Alameda County, announced to the State Board of Equalization that next year his | corporation would report as a portion of | the Western Pacific Rallroad. - This, tal with the beginning of work in Oakland, means that the only link in the ‘whole chain that is not compieted is that between the southern boundary line ot Qakland and Livermore. The line from will tufnel the hill and run to Livermore, but the exact line from that point to Oakland is not yet settled. It is. probable, however, that the line will parallel the Southern Pacific through the Niles Canyon and will not come Ml BY COVERNOR ———— Murderer and Big- amist Escapes Gallows. Needed FTl;d_s_Are Fur- nished Him by Lawyer at Last Minute. Case Now Will Be Taken on Appeal to Illinois Su- preme Court. CHICAGO, July 28.—Johann Hoch, “Bluebeard” and confessed bigamist, sentenced to be hanged to-day for poisoning one of his wives, was this afternoon granted a reprieve uatil Au- gust 25 by Governor Deneen. The stay of execution followed hours of anxiety on the part of Hoch, who had never given up hope, and was allowed by the Governor only after the latter had been assured that the necessary funds to appeal the case had been raised. The amount, $500, was given by an at- torney and friend of Hoch's couns The attorney declared that he was ac- tuated purely by humanitarian motives. TAn incident at the jail during the preparations for the execution was the appearance of a physician and a woman, who told Jaller (Whitman that they wanted to help In Hoch's battle for life. They sald they wished to raise funds for the condemned man and asked Jaller Whitman to delay the hanging as long as pessible. Hoch's attorney, however, had already beem In com- munleaticn--with the- authorities re- garding a stay of sentence. All arrangements had been made for the. execytion to-day, in view of the action of Govermor yester- day In réfusing a stay of execution and similar action by the Board of Par- dons, Hoch's chance for life was con- sidered slight. REPRIEVE IS GRANTED. About the time -set for the execution the woman and attorney appeared for the first time. The attorney. it was sald, telephoned Hoch’s lawyer that the former had 3500 to give toward aiding to appeal the case. The two lawyers hastened to the jail, told Jailer Whit- man of the money secured and ar- ranged with the jailer to postpone as long as possible the execution of Hoch. Meanwhile they sought State’s Attar- ney Healey and had him arrange a con- ference with Governor Deneen over the long-distance telephone. Hoch's coun~ sel told the Governor that there was lacking only a small sum of the amount necessary for a review of the case. After discussing the matter with Healey the Governor finally consented to a stay for the condemned man and so notified Hoch's counsel. Hoch, even several hours before tha time set for the hanging, was quite confiddnt of executive clemency. al- though at times he seemed to despalr of recciving a reprieve. He had retired early in the night and awoke at T o’clock this morning. cor- dially greeted his death watch of tweo guards and talked with them for some time. He changed his clothes and seemed resigned to the fate that awalt- ed him, but he assured his few visitors that there might be a chance for him yet. HOCH IN CHEERFUL M0OD. He received his attorney, two min- jsters, Jailer Whitman and Dr. W. F. McNamara, the jail physician. Hoch discussed with them his prospects for a stay and reiterated his innecence of the charge of murder. He read the Bible and sald his prayers. Meanwhile, unknown to Hoch. the negotiations for the reprieve were pro= gressing. It was noon and the delay up to this time inspired Hoch with newed hope. He ate dinner, smoked a cigar and read. Half an hour later, through the win- dow of his quarters he recelved the news of his reprieve. It was conveyed to him by spectators of the proceedings in the State’s Attorney’s office. He was disinclined to believe the news at first, but when it was brought also by the ministers he = was overcome. He clasped thelr hands and declared that he was the happlest man alive. The crowd about the jail sent up a shout that was heard for blocks. The pris- oners joined in the demonstration and Hoch was almost overcome. Hoclr said: “If the Supreme Court decides against me I am willing to die. I ask no mercy and no favor. I believe in the la@y, but I feel that if the Supreme Court has a chance to review the case it will result favorably to me.” Hoch’s attorney announced that he would at once prepare to appeal the case. as the terminal but also for the location of shops of all railroads entering the
