A death certificate filed yesterday at the health office shows that Caroline Shelton, a negress, died last Thursday at the age of 108 years. The dead woman was born in Virginia in 1707 and was a slave In that State until 1852, when she came to Callfornia, where she has since resided. She died of heart failure and senility at her resi- dence, 926 Washington street, from where the funeral will take place to- day. i et Murine Eye Remedy—An Eye Food.

An investigation showed that there was absolutelygno founda- tion for the accusation. Nicholas Galli, 3 Kent street, whose sister married Walter Druesdon, called at the Coroner's office between 7 and § o'clock yesterday morning and informed Deputy Coroner Meehan that Albert’s body was at the undertaking parlors | of Valente, Marini & Co., 152 Stockton street, and that the body was to be cremated at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Walter,and Clarence Druesdon, brothers of Albert, who live at 730 Filbert street, had told Galli, he said, that Albert had been polsoned by his father and that Maggie Mann, a servant at the Drues- don home, did not want Albert there, as the father had about §$10,000 and she expected that he would leave it all to her in his will. 3 AGED PARENT ACCOUSES SONS. The undertakers were notified by the Coroner not to hold the funeral till the body was taken to the Morgue and an autopsy made by Dr. Bacigalupi. De- tective Coleman was detailed on the case and he brought the father, who is 73 years of age and feeble, and Mag- gle Mann to police headquarters. The father said the story was prompted by his sons, because he would not have them around the house. - Since Miss Mann had been his housekeeper, about three years now, the other members of the family had been annoying her and she had been arrested several times on trumped-up charges of disturbing the peace or battery. Before Miss Mann became his housékeeper Walter was married to a sister of Nicholas Galli and the newly married couple came to live with him. They made things so disagreebale that he told them to leave, and one night when he was at a lodge meeting they left, taking almost every- thing that was in the house with them. That ‘was the cause of the trouble. Albert, he said, had died from excessive drinking and had been attended by Dr. Campbell Ford. . He was 82 years .of age. Mise Mann sald it was all a case of spite. Albert had been intoxicated al- most every day for over a year. His father showed him every attention while he was sick and was always kind to him. After making their statements they were allowed to go. STOMACH SENT TO CHEMIST. Dr. Ford’s death certificate gave as the cause lobal pneumonia and the con- tributing cause alcoholism. The au- topsy showed plenty of cause for deathr without poisén having been used. Asa matter of precaution the stomach was sent to the City Chemist for analysis. After a jury had viewed the body it was returned to the undertakers. * The undertakers may be censured by the Coroner’s jury. Their attention was called on Thursday by the two brothers of Albert to the fact that there was a suspicion that poison had been admin- istered to him, but they say that the brothers returned, after seeing Dr. Ford, and said it was all right. Then’ the undertakers injected embalming fluld into the body. It contains arsenic, which might have penetrated into the stomach. This may cause complications. The have notified him that there had been a suspicion of polsoning before using the embalming fluid. ———————— Property-Owners Object to Delay. | Property-owners on-California street, | between Mason and Jones, are exercised over the long delay in the bituminizing of the two blocks ‘described, which has been ordered by the Board of Super- visors.

State Mineralogist Aubury of certain | land frauds in Plumas County, in this State. Aubury said yesterday: “I will ht to the bitter end and all along thel ine.” There is but one inference possible, | which is that Aubury has in view the| bringing of eriminal complaints. He | would not commit himself any further | than In the foregoing statement, but he | promised that there would be additional | developments in several directions. | It {s known that Aubury has consulted | witf Attorney Heney within the last| few months regarding transactions in| land in California and that a long report | on certain phases was filed by the min- eralogist with the attorney., Whether | Heney will be called upon to look into| the present situation is only a matter | of conjecture at this time. | -Aubury asked a few questions in his report that may stir the anger of the| officials of the General Land Office strongly. Cne of these {s: “What actlon has the General Land Office taken to in- vestigate and remedy the abuses prac- ticed during 1901 and 1902, so pointedly set forth by the State Mining Bureau and g0 loudly complained of by all classes of citizens? In reference to the mining in- dustry of California it , may” be asked— | what protection has been extended to the | miner against the assaults of the timber land speculator and the scripper?” Following this up Aubury makes the following assertions: . | During the fall of 1902 a special agent of the Interior Department investigated the tim- ber land frauds in Plumas County, instigated | by J. B. Engle, A. W. Reddle and the Lewis brothers, who were Indicted, and after two stubbornly contested trials finally convicted of subornation of verjury, in December, 1903. A new trial belng granted, United District _ Attorney Woodworth came for- werd* February 25, 1904, in_ the District _ Court of the United States, at Ban Francisco, and moved that the prose- cution be dismissed on the plea of Insufficient testimony. This plea not belng accepted by the court, the District Attorney then stated | that the verdict already given Wwas not sus- | tained by the evidence, upon which plea the | case was dismissed, after eighteen menths' work and e large expenditure by the Govern- | ment. In this case the evidence was conclu- sive against the accused pariles. DEVLIN READY TO HELP. TUnited States District Attorney Robert T. Devlin says that he is willing to co- | operate with the State Mineralogist to bring to justice any persons who may be or who have been engaged in unlaw- ful acquisition of the public land in Cali- fornia. Attorney Heney may be called in to take part if prosécutions are begun.
