SAN FRANCISCO,
February 19 - The proceedings in the first session of the Court to-day in the
suit of Mrs. Nettie R. CRAVEN against the heirs of the late Senator FAIR for
$5000 a month widow’s allowance were not as exciting as expected. Attorney
PENCE, for the CRAVEN interests, called Judge TROUTT’s attention to the charge
of perjury, contempt of Court and assault which have appeared in the daily
papers and asked that an immediate investigation be had to fix the
responsibility.
Judge TROUTT
responded that the District Attorney was preparing to bring the matter before
the Grand Jury, at which Mr. KNIGHT, for the FAIR heirs, expressed himself as
courting the fullest inquiry into the acts of the attorneys for the FAIR heirs.
An argument was
precipitated by the attorney for Mrs. CRAVEN asking the Court to issue an order
compelling the attorneys for the FAIR executors to produce the private
memorandums, books, etc., of the FAIR estate.
Attorney McENERNEY protested against such proceedings and his contention
was upheld by the Court.
Mrs. CRAVEN was
called to the stand and resumed her testimony given last Thursday, detailing
her different places of residence and travels since June, 1893. Nothing of an
important nature was brought out.

TACOMA, February
23 - Mrs. C.A. PAIGE, who was buried here yesterday as an outcast, was formerly
the wife of C.A. PAIGE, a wealthy resident of Los Angeles. He died a number of years
ago, leaving what is said to have been a large estate. A shoe dealer in Los
Angeles names J. MESNER was appointed administrator. Mrs. PAIGE and her four
children went to San Francisco, where she had acquaintances. Subsequently she
left her children there, seemingly abandoning them. She is said to have come
North with a gambler, who left her after helping her run through what money she
received from the Los Angeles estate.
She gradually sank
lower and lower into depravity, finally allowing a bartender to fill the place
in her affections that the gambler had quitted.
For a number of months she made a living by box rustling and singing in
concert halls attached to saloons. Her brother, Joseph MALONEY, lives at Kern,
Cal. He was notified of her death, but sent word that he was too poor to bury
her. She was buried by her depraved associates, the funeral being conducted by
the Rev. Father HYLEBOS, who permitted the body to be buried in unconsecrated
ground in the Catholic Cemetery. Her oldest child, Beatrice, aged 13, works for
her board at 810 Filbert Street, Oakland. One son lives elsewhere in Oakland,
another in San Francisco, while the youngest child is cared for at the Sisters’
home in Anaheim.
Since Mrs. PAIGE’s
death a pitiful letter has been received from her daughter Beatrice, who wrote
that her little brother John had practically no clothes to wear. She thought
her mother should send them money. Mrs. PAIGE did not allow her California
acquaintances to know what she was doing here.
She was a handsome woman, 35 years old. Dissipation is given as the
cause of death.
The Stockton Mail
of to-day said:
The scarcity of
blankets and underwear which the asylum authorities acknowledge having existed
at the State Hospital for the insane is only part of the story of the real
state of affairs resulting from the extreme economy of the State Lunacy
Commission. Everyone connected with the institution is close-mouthed on the
subject, but a statement made by the prominent merchant of this city, who has
had dealings for many years with the asylum in a business way, shows what is
being covered up.
“The manner in
which the finances of the institution are conducted by the State Lunacy
Commission can be inferred from the fact that goods delivered last December
have not yet been paid for,” said he. “Everything seems to be run on the
principle that no money should be allowed until it is actually wrung from the
Commission. And the people connected with the institution are afraid to open
their lips in protest. You can’t get CHESTNUTWOOD, for instance, to utter a
word on the subject, although he knows very well that the supplies are short in
almost every line.
CHESTNUTWOOD is
the steward.
“I have got goods
in my cellar,” the merchant went on to say, “which the institution is in need
of at this very time, but the authorities at the hospital dare not buy
anything. They must first send on a requisition to Sacramento, and wait the
pleasure of the Commission. In the meantime the patients are obliged to go
without, and if the requisition is not allowed they go without the articles for
good. As a usual thing, even when the merchandise required is allowed at
Sacramento, the amount is cut down about one-half.
“Only a few months
ago they wanted a hammer out there at the asylum, but the authorities did not
dare to buy one. They had to send on an estimate of the cost, and get
permission from Sacramento to make the purchase. “Last Summer, while down at Santa Cruz, I was
informed by Dr. HOLSHOLT, of the asylum’s staff of physicians, that the
requisition system used to be carried so far by the Commission that a patient
came near dying for lack of medicine, which could not be bought without an
order. The requisition was sent on to Sacramento, but no response was received
until repeated requests had been made. Subsequently the asylum authorities
prevailed on the Commission to permit drugs to be purchased without going
through the usual red tape. The local Board of Managers is simply a figurehead.
It cannot do anything except through the State Lunacy Commission, and what it
does attempt to do is generally sat down on by the Commissioners. “All the people out here at the hospital are
afraid to open their mouths about the real situation, for fear of losing a job,
so they get along the best they can and put up with the scrimping police which
the State Lunacy Commission is pursuing.”
The Other Side.
An effort was made
at the Capitol to-day to find some member of the State Commission in Lunacy, in
order to get the Commission’s side of the story, but the effort was
unsuccessful.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT THE BAY.
People Who Were Onlookers of
a Football Game
Fall Through a Roof on
Red-Hot Furnaces Below.
Thirteen Persons Are Dead
and Many More Numbered Among the Injured.
SAN
FRANCISCO, Nov. 29 - Thirteen people were killed and nearly 100 injured more or
less seriously to-day through the collapse of the roof of the Pacific Glass
Works on Fifteenth street, near Folsom. A large crowd had gathered on the roof
in order to get a free view of the Berkeley-Stanford football game. Underneath
the roof in the factory were red hot furnaces and glass vats. Several of the
killed fell on these, and were badly burned.
Most of the killed and injured were boys
between 9 and 16 years of age. Nearly all had their skulls fractured or limbs
broken, or sustained internal injuries.
The portion of the roof which collapsed was
merely the covering over the ventilator bars at the apex of the building, and
was not constructed to sustain any heavy weight. The horizontal timbers in the
center, corresponding to the ridge pole of an ordinary structure, broke near
the center, and a light framework underneath with its covering of corrugated
iron turned inward, forming a chute through which the men and boys were
precipitated into the furnaces beneath. Only a few were actually burned to
death, the majority being killed by the fall. Several of the injured are in a
precarious condition, and the list of dead may be increased to a score within a
day or two. A number who were only slightly injured went to their homes
unnoticed. Including these the list of injured may reach 100.
The list of dead and injured is as follows:
The dead are: Edgar FAIRHAVEN, 11 years, San
Francisco; W.H. ECKFELDT, 12 years, San Francisco; William VALENCIA, 18 years,
San Francisco; Thomas J. RIPPON, 24 years, San Francisco; James A. MULRONEY, 40
years, Spokane, Wash.; Marquis VAN DURA, 35 years, Pasadena; Virgil NEUBY, 15
years, San Francisco; Charles MONAHAN, 34 years, San Francisco; Talleyrand
BARNWELL, 16 years, Lean GIRARD, 16 years, San Francisco; William BOTHENSTEIN,
12 years; Robert MILLER, 17 years; Hector McNEILL, 15 years.
The injured as far as known number
eighty-two, distributed as follows: Southern Pacific Railroad Hospital 40, City
and County Hospital 21, City Receiving Hospital 15, St. Luke’s Hospital 2,
taken to their homes 4.
Seriously injured: Walter GRIFFIN, George
CAMPBELL, George MILLER, Louis COOPER, John LANE, L.E .MACAULAY, V. FRECHTLER,
Jesse COHEN, Clarence BURNS, Harrold PALMER, Martin TRAYNOR.
Of the injured those most seriously injured
are Clarence BURNS, John BROUGH and Fred GARITY.
Other injured are: John BROUGH, Fred GARITY,
skull fractured and left leg fractured; R.E. ESSMAN, William HAUSCH, Leon
GERARD, Clarence BURNS, J. FRECHTLER, Leon DOYLE, Fred BULWINKLE, George C.
MILLER, Arthur OUTSEN, George HOUSER, Fred HARTMAN, John HOUSER, Theodore
BAKER, George PELLE, Ed. HORNE, James BOWEN, Carroll Harrold PALMER, Albert
GERKE, George CAMPBELL, Albert LOUX, George MORSHAT, William CONWAY, --- DARCY,
W. K. GRANT, Otto BERMEISTER.
Two hundred people, all men and boys, had
gathered on the sheet iron roof of the glass works to obtain a free view of the
annual football game between Stanford and the University of California. About
twenty minutes after the game had commenced there was a crash, plainly audible
from the football grounds, and a portion of the crowd on the roof went down to
a horrible death below.
The fires in the furnaces had been started
for the first time to-day, and the vats were full of liquid glass. It was upon
these that the victims fell. Some were killed instantly and other were slowly
roasted to death.
The few who missed the furnaces or rolled off
together with workmen in the glass works saved the lives of many who lay
unconscious by pulling them away from their horrible resting place.
The police and fire department were soon at
hand, and every patrol wagon and ambulance in the city was summoned. There were not enough, and express wagons and
private carriages were pressed into service to carry off the dead and injured.
Many of the injured were unconscious, while others were raced shrieking with
agony to the hospitals.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Hospital was
only two blocks away, and was quickly filled. About forty injured were taken
there. Others were sent to St. Luke’s Hospital, the City Receiving Hospital, to
private residences and other places. At the hospitals there was soon a shortage
of surgeons, and some of the wounded had to wait until help came.
The roof of the glass works was not 200 feet
away from the football field, but the 20,000 people watching the game were too
intent upon the contest to notice what had occurred. It was only when the
ushers went through the vast crowd calling for doctors that it became known
that there had been an accident. Hundreds of people left the grounds and
gathered about the fence inclosing the glass works. News of the disaster spread
rapidly, and thousands of anxious people quickly assembled. The police kept
them back with difficulty, while the patrol wagons and ambulances dashed
through the crowd on their way to and from the hospitals.
Isidore EZEKIEL, a clerk, was in the second
story of the glassworks when the calamity occurred. Before the accident he
heard a man, whom he supposed to be the Superintendent, talk to another man,
presumably an employe, about calling the police to clear the roof. The police
were all busy with other work, and no assistance could be obtained.
When the roof section collapsed Ezekiel
rushed to the aid of the men and boys who fell, but the heat on the top of the
glass oven was so intense that he was unable to reach some of them where they
were lying partially stunned.
Mr. Ezekiel says that nobody was under the
roof section that fell, and that all who were killed or injured came down with
the roof.
Charles YOST, oven man at the glass works,
was in the loft when the accident occurred. At the moment he was raking the
fire. The first warning he had was the crashing of the rafters as the
struggling victims were hurled to death. Many in their descent barely missed
striking him. “I felt uncomfortable,” he said, “when I learned that the manager
could not keep the people off the roof. Of course it was strong enough for
ordinary purposes, but it could not carry the weight of 200 or more people.
When the crash finally came there was but little warning. I first heard the
rafters crack, and then bodies began to drop around me. Several in falling came
within a hair’s breadth of crushing me, and I had to seek safety in another
part of the building. I soon realized that something had to be done to save the
wounded, and especially to rescue the men who had fallen on top of the oven,
and were rapidly roasting to death. The oven was white hot, and the contortions
of the injured men as they tried to pull themselves away from the fire was a sight
which can never be effaced from my memory. Others soon arrived and with their
assistance I succeeded in removing two men. Those killed either struck the
heavy beams that surround the oven or had their lives crushed out beneath the
bodies of the other victims. Many succeeded in staying their fall for a moment
by holding on to the broken beams, but before they could be rescued they were
obliged to let go their hold and fall upon those who had preceded them. The
shrieks of the wounded and the groans of the dying were frightful to hear. It
was some time before medical assistance arrived, and we could do but little to
alleviate the suffering.”
Clarence JETER, a furnace tender, was
standing near the seething blasts, when a crash and the cries of the falling men
and boys startled him. In an instant the furnaces were covered with struggling
human beings, and some who were at the bottom of the heap were suffering death
by the hideous torture of fire. “My first move was to shut the supply of oil
off from the pipes which led to the furnaces,” said Mr. Jeter. “Then I ran up
on the platform and helped to pull the unfortunates off the retorts, where they
were being roasted. The oil pipes were full and the fire did not go down until
the pipes were emptied. When the men and boys struck the top of the furnace the
oil spurted and saturated their clothing. The heat on the outside of the
retorts is over 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and in a second the clothing of the men
was ablaze. Several who fell on top of the heap of humanity were able to jump
up and off the furnaces, but their hands and limbs were terribly burned where
their flesh had touched the white hot bricks. Those who were underneath were
dead or dying before we could reach them. I pulled eight people off the retort
on to the staging which we walk on to tend the fires, and they were lifted down
to the floor by others. We had to use our long iron pokers, with which we test
the glass, to reach some of the men. The hook would not hold in their clothing
and it was a difficult matter to get them within reach.”
While aiding in removing the dead and wounded
from the scene of the disaster, T.J. PARKER, a fireman, recognized in the blood
covered face of one of the sufferers the features of his own son. Francis
Joseph PARKER is the name of the injured boy. He was taken to the City and
County Hospital, where it was found that his skull was fractured and his right
arm broken. He suffers from internal injuries, and will probably die.
When William ECKFELDT, a machinist,
recognized his son among the victims he fell unconsious, and had to be carried
away.
James MOSELEY was one of the few who escaped
uninjured. He was among the last to fall and landed upon a heap of the others.
“We had no warning of the coming disaster,” said Moseley. “The first break must
have occurred some little distance back of me, for I heard a cry and felt the
roof giving away. The next thing I knew I was plunging through the air. I
landed feet first in the midst of some twelve or fifteen others.”
Joseph GUMPER, a fireman, was on the roof at
the time of the accident. He heard the creak of the metal, and jumped to a
place of safety. Gumper ran to the edge of the roof, and hastily climbing down
a girder, was inside the building in time to save several lives.
The managers of the glass works have issued a
statement stating that it was impossible for them to keep the people off their
buildings, and disclaiming responsibility for the accident.
INJURED NUMBER NINETY-FOUR.
The list of injured now numbers ninety-four, those
most seriously hurt being the following: John MEIN, 9 years, fractured skull,

HARRIS, clerk, Topeka, Kansas, burned and may die; M. LAKE, schoolboy,
contusions; Andrew BURKE, schoolboy, contusions; Lester PRIOR ,Oakland, face
and scalp lacerated, chest bruised.
The glass works officials estimate that
anywhere from 500 to 1,000 people were on the roof of the building when the
accident occurred, and that 300 to 400 were on the ventilator. This great
weight was too much, for the comparative fragile ventilator roof split for its
entire length of 100 feet, letting the unfortunates drop on the fiery furnace
forty-five feet below.

HAPPENINGS AT THE BAY
The colors of
E.J. BALDWIN & Co. were in evidence at Oakland yesterday, horses owned by
the firm winning three of the events. All were at good prices and were ridden
by RANSOM.
The funeral of
the late William P. SULLIVAN, Jr., Chief of Police of San Francisco, who died,
after a lingering illness at 1:30 o’clock Monday morning, will be held on
Wednesday morning at 10 o’clock from St. Agnes’ Catholic Church, near the
Sullivan residence, at 101 Central Avenue, and the interment will take place at
the Holy Cross Cemetery.
Speculation is
rife in San Francisco police circles as to who will succeed the late Chief
Sullivan. The Commissioners have confirmed Captain WITTMAN as the Acting Chief,
but it is expected that upon recommendation of the Mayor, that body will
directly choose another head of the department, to succeed Chief Sullivan.
John A.
RUSSELL, Clerk of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, has not resigned his
position, as reported. On the contrary, Mr. Russell has applied for an
extension of his leave of absence for the period of six months.
Chief D.T.
SULLIVAN, of the San Francisco Fire Department has requested the Board of
Supervisors and the Mayor to reward Frank GORMAN, the young man who bravely
rescued Miss Nellie HEALY, who was in imminent peril at a fire Tuesday last at
244 Stevenson Street.
The charge of
felony embezzlement against Charles J. KING, son of the late James King of
William, under which he surrendered himself on Saturday last, was dismissed
yesterday in San Francisco by Police Judge CABANISS, on motion of the
prosecution. Frank SCHUMACHER of the California Vinegar Works, which appeared
as the complaining corporation, completely exonerated King and said that it had
been discovered that what was supposed to have been a criminal transaction in
reality was perfectly regular.
A curious
accident has marred the beauty of Miss Zelda TIFFANY, of Sausalito. That she
escaped without losing one of her eyes has made her the subject of the
sincerest congratulations of her wide circle of friends. As it is she lies on a
bed of pain with three surgeons in attendance and with admittance to her
chamber denied to all but the doctors and the nurses. A cartridge exploding in
a fireplace of her home struck her in the face and below her eye and tore a
fearful gash in her cheek. She was stricken to the floor by the force of the
blow and was unconscious for some time. Ten stitches were necessary to close
the wound, and the physicians are using every possible precaution to guard
against serious and permanent disfigurement.
By the arrest
of two men named RILEY and McDONALD last night, the police believe they have
the murderers of Otto ECKBURG, the non-Union teamster who was foully murdered
at Third and Townsend Streets, San Francisco, Saturday evening. Riley answers
the description given of the murderer by Mrs. MILLER, who was the only
eye-witness to the bloody crime. McDonald, the police claim, was with Riley
when he struck the fatal blow.
Juan BIAS and
an unknown man were found asphyxiated in bed yesterday afternoon in the New
Pyrenee House, 1314 Stockton Street, San Francisco.
The bill
prohibiting freak advertising on the public streets was passed to print by the
San Francisco Supervisors yesterday.
William H.
RODEN, the provision merchant, is defendant in a suit for divorce filed this
morning by his wife, Lily L. Roden. Mr. Roden is a member of the firm of
Norton, Teller & Roden, San Francisco.
A foreclosure
suit was commenced yesterday in the United States Circuit Court, San Francisco,
by Charles O. ROSE, trustee, of New York City, against the Sybil Mining
Company, incorporated under the laws of West Virginia and operating in French
Gulch, Shasta County. The bill alleges that default was made in the payment of
bonds and coupons aggregating $29,000.
The Special
Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on the Chinese Education
Convention has fixed the date of the meeting for November 21st. It
is proposed to memorialize Congress to re-enact the Chinese Exclusion law,
which will soon expire.
A resolution was
presented to the Board of Supervisors yesterday by BRAUNHART, fixing the amount
of wages to be paid and regulating the hours of work for laborers employed by
the Park Commissioners and all public utilities now owned or hereafter to be
acquired by the city of San Francisco. The reason for the introduction of the
ordinance is that City Engineer GRUNSKY’s report on the proposed acquisition of
the Geary Street road by the city is based on the theory that the employes
shall be paid at the rate of 25 cents an hour. The Charter limits a working day
to eight hours, thus insuring an employe a daily wage of $2.
The use of
wireless telegraphy for the purpose of connecting the Farallons and the
mainland of California has actually begun. The Department of Agriculture has
sent a skilled man to this State, who has had practice in the East with
wireless telegraphy and he is now at Point Reyes, where he is observing the
peculiarities of the climate and daily communicating with the Weather Bureau in
San Francisco.

PITHY
SYNOPSIS OF HAPPENINGS AT THE BAY
Manager
EDWARDS, after a conference with manager DECOTA, of Berkeley, says that
practically nothing will have been lost because the football game of last
Saturday was played before Thanksgiving. The receipts amount to about $19,000,
or $4000 less than those of last year. However, the expenses of a longer season
would have offset this difference.
Dr. Frank
SIMPSON, head football coach for the University of California, has gone East.
One of Simpson’s objects in going East will be to observe the football methods
in vogue there and get pointers for the next season’s work at Berkeley.
The Olympic
football team of San Francisco is to place the Nevada State University in Reno
next Wednesday, the Reliance Club at Sixteenth and Folsom Street grounds in San
Francisco Thanksgiving, and the Oahu College eleven in Honolulu Christmas Day.
Sibyl
SANDERSON was the guest of Mayor PHELAN at luncheon at the Cliff House, San
Francisco, yesterday. She was escorted to the cliff by the Mayor and Harry
HOLBROOK, and Mr. and Mrs. Walter MARTIN joined the party at luncheon.
Mrs. J.A.
CRUNS, who lives at 516 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, was held up and robbed
at the corner of Oak Street and Van Ness Avenue about 6 o’clock last evening.
The footpad used Mrs. Cruns rather roughly and she was compelled to hand over
her purse, containing $20, and several valuable trinkets, before she could cry
out for help.
The twelve
years’ struggle of the residents of Berkeley and vicinity for a half-hour train
service was ended yesterday when the Southern Pacific Company issued an order
granting the service and making it effective on Monday next.
All is not
running smoothly on board the United States transport Meade, which is scheduled
to sail from San Francisco for Manilla on Saturday. Trouble has arisen over the
arbitrary dismissal of Chief Engineer G.A. COBRON and his assistant, Martin
NAGLE. Both men claim that they were forced to resign without having been given
any good cause for being compelled to leave the service.
The various
commercial and labor organizations throughout the State are at present
selecting delegates to the Anti Chinese Convention, to be held in Metroploitan
Temple, San Francisco, on November 21st. Mayor Phelan is in receipt
of communications showing that the attendance will be considerably more than
1000
Hans ROSSEN, a
prominent rancher of Rio Vista and 84 years of age, dropped dead from heart
disease at the home of his sister, 2113 Powell Street, San Francisco, about
7:30 o’clock last night. The body will be taken to Rio Vista for burial.
Joseph POLINI,
the five-year-old son of A. Polini, residing at 3 Montgomery Court, was struck
by a Kearny Street car at Montgomery Avenue and Broadway, San Francisco,
yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock, and his left foot was so badly mangled that
amputation was necessary. The lad was on his way to a meat market when the
accident occurred.
George A.
ZOCCHI, of the firm of Zocchi Brothers, at 523 Union Street, San Francisco, is
reported missing, and fears are entertained that he has committed suicide. He
has been despondent for some time, and on October 29th he went to
several of his friends and bade them good-by, saying that they would never see
him again. He has not been seen since that date.
Coroner
LELAND, of San Francisco, held an inquest yesterday on the body of James
PETERSON, who died on November 7th of blood poisoning, super-induced
by knife wounds inflicted by Jack MALANDA at the intersection of Battery and
Jackson Streets, on November 4th. The Jury returned a verdict of
justifiable homicide.
EXCHANGED
SHOTS WITH HIGHWAYMAN
Stage Driver Finchley Not Easily Frightened
CHICO, November 15 - A lone highwayman attempted to
hold up the Chico and West Branch stage at a point twenty miles from Chico
yesterday afternoon. The stage was going up a steep grade, when the robber,
disguised with gunny sacks over his head and about his feet and legs, commanded
the driver, T. W. FINCHLEY, to throw out the express box.
Finchley drew
a revolver and began firing. The fire was returned by the robber.
After emptying
his revolver the robber fled, but as he turned a bullet from Finchley’s
revolver struck him in the right arm, causing him to drop his pistol. He picked
up the pistol with his left hand and disappeared in the thick underbrush.

SALINAS’
YOUNG MONSTER
How John McCarty Killed His Old Mother
Felled Her With a Blow, and Then Emptied His Pistol
Into Her Body
SALINAS, May
19 - The autopsy and inquest held this afternoon at Castroville over the body
of Mrs. Honora McCARTY, who was killed yesterday by her son, revealed several
startling facts. It completely upset the son’s statement that in order to save
his own life he was compelled to shoot his mother.
The story, as
told by the witnesses with later revelations, shows the act to have been one of
almost unparalleled atrocity. When John McCARTY, the 64-year-old husband of the
victim, and father of the murderer, left home about 12 o’clock yesterday, he
left his wife with their son, who had just returned from church, eating dinner
in the kitchen. On his return twenty minutes later he found his wife dead
behind the stove, with a fork on which was a piece of meat, in her hand.
A large
contusion over her left temple showed that she had been struck a powerful blow.
She must have thrown up her left arm to protect her face from a second attack
and struck the hot stove, as the arm, from the elbow to the wrist, was
fearfully burned.
While she lay
prostrate her son emptied the contents of a five-chambered revolver into her
body. One shot entered her head above the left ear, and one just below it,
cutting the lobe. Another passed through the throat, severing both carotid
arteries, one entered the left elbow, while the last penetrated the right
shoulder. The murderer must have had the weapon close to his victim’s body, as
when found her clothing was on fire, while the paper on the wall alongside of
which the body lay was powder burned. The face of the victim was black from
powder specks.
The jury
returned a verdict charging John McCarty with having been the cause of the
death of his mother, Mrs. Honora McCARTY. The murdered woman was a native of
Ireland, aged 60 years. She was charitable, and had never been known to be in
trouble. Her slayer has often been arrested for disturbing the peace, and once
nearly killing a Chinaman during a fit of temper.

MATRICIDE McCARTY
Salinas Monster Now Seems to be Feigning Insanity
SALINAS, May 20 - John McCARTY, the Castroville matricide,
was taken this afternoon to the Sheriff’s office to be photographed. Here he
began talking in a wandering way, saying he had been sent from heaven for a
wonderful purpose, and had been directed by a lawyer to kill his mother, as
there was $140,000 behind the deed. He shouted that if he was not set free he
would destroy the world.
The Sheriff
ordered him back to prison. He refused to go, and made a break for the street
door, wrecking the photographic outfit in his flight. He was seized by deputies,
overpowered after a severe struggle and returned to his cell. The officers
believe that he is shamming insanity. When off his guard he still insists that
he killed his mother in self-defense.
He has stated
that after the murder he reloaded his pistol and searched the house for his
sister. Finding no one on the premises, he put the revolver in his pocket and
surrendered himself to a magistrate.
FAMILY
TRAGEDY IN SHASTA
Joseph
Kueny Kills Chas. Scharsch
Victim Was His Brother-In-Law - Claims Self-Defense
REDDING, May 20 - Joseph KUENY, a farmer of French
extraction, aged 53 years, living on Bear Creek, twenty miles southwest of
Redding, this morning shot and killed his wife’s brother, Charles SCHARSCH,
aged 31 years, at the Kueny home, where Scharsch had lived for eight years,
because, Kueny says, he believed if he did not kill Scharsch he himself would
have been killed.
Kueny gave
himself up in Redding this afternoon. Scharsch, who was a single man, made his
home with his sister and brother-in-law and their four children, the oldest of
whom is a son, David, aged 15 years. Scharsch is said to have become
disagreeable of late, and the family induced him to take a trip to a mountain
farm that he owns.
He recently
returned and threatened to kill his sister, and talked of killing the entire
family. On Monday he dragged the 15-year-old boy David from a hay mow and beat
him severely, even biting the lad’s finger off. Mrs. Kueny and her son came to
Redding and secured a warrant for the arrest of Scharsch.
Constable
ELDRIDGE started out with the warrant, the intention being to place Scharsch
under the bonds to keep the peace. On the way to the Kueny place the officer
met Kueny on his way to town to give himself up for killing Scharsch.
There were no
witnesses to the tragedy other than the principals. It occurred in a hay field
on the Kueny place. Kueny’s attorneys have advised him not to speak, but before
he was placed in the County Jail the excited old man gave out two tales of the
tragedy. In both of them Scharsch is said to have sprung from hiding toward
Kueny in a threatening manner, saying, “Now, I’ve got you!”
In one story
Kueny said Scharsch held a rock, and in the other he said his brother-in-law
carried a shotgun, with both barrels cocked. Fearing for his life, Kueny says
he raised his shotgun and fired. The charge of shot tore away Scharsch’s skull
and he fell dead.
SEVEN
MILLIONS MORE
Fair’s Heirs Receive the Balance of His Estate
SAN FRANCISCO, May 20 - The children of James G. FAIR
are at last in possession of his estate. The final transfer was made to their
representatives by the executors to-day, under the decree of distribution
signed by Judge TROUTT.
The property handed
over was valued at about $7,000,000. The whole estate was worth about
$18,000,000. The larger part of it was given to the children when the Supreme
Court decided that the executors could not hold the realty under the trust
clause in Fair’s will.
By the final
decree the property remaining in the hands of the executors was given to
Charles L. FAIR, Mrs. Theresa A. OERICHS and Mrs. Virginia VANDERBILT.

to death at 2 o’clock yesterday morning by a fire which consumed the house in
which the child and its mother slept together with all their belongings and
household goods. At the time of the accident the father, who is an oil driller,
was absent at work and the mother, roused from sleep by the crackling of
burning timbers, rushed outdoors from her chamber, and before she could return
to rescue her child an impassable barrier of flames had enwrapped the whole
dwelling and the little one perished in the sight of its frantic mother and a
crowd of powerless neighbors who were summoned to the scene by Mrs. Abraham’s
cries.
The fire originated in a bunch of woolen rugs
which were left near a burning gas stove in the kitchen.
STOCKTON, January 23 - Charles and William DE CARLE, the former a grocer and the latter employed in a local stock yard, have just learned that a fortune of $30,000, left by their father, who died in Stockton nearly forty years ago, awaits them in the French Bank in San Francisco.

CLARKSVILLE, Jan 27 - Mrs. Rebecca S. KYBURZ,
a pioneer of California and one of the oldest residents of this section, died
at her home at Clarksville Monday, January 19th, after an illness of
three weeks. Mrs. Kyburz was born in Pennsylvania on the 5th day of
February, 1823, and was aged 80 years, 11 months and 12 days at the time of her
death. The story of her life is an interesting one, because she was among the
first of those who left their Eastern homes and braved the danger of the trip
across the plains to reach the land of gold.
She, with her husband and two children and a
party of relatives and friends, left her home in East Troy, Wis., on the 2d day
of April, 1846, crossing the plains with ox teams, and arriving at Sutter’s
Fort, now Sacramento, then called New Helvetia, on the 2d day of October of the
same year, it having required six months to make the trip. The party passed the
historical Donner Lake party and arrived at Sutter’s Fort before the winter set
in. It was due to Mrs. Kyburz’s efforts that her party got out of the mountains
before the heavy fall of snow came, for she told them that, judging from the
heavy frosts, there would soon be snow, and urged them to travel as fast as
possible. Mrs. Kyburz was the last survivor of those who composed the party.
The family moved to Clarksville in 1865.
Deceased is survived by four children,
fourteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Her husband died January
15, 1898.
The funeral of Mrs. Kyburz was held from her
late residence and was largely attended. The remains were interred in the Masonic
Cemetery in Folsom beside those of her husband. F.H. ROBISON of Berkeley
conducted the funeral services.
The pall-bearers were Fred DIXON, John TONG,
Joseph JOERGER, Frank WALKER, H.M. JOHNSON and J. WELLS.
Thomas GEDDES has leased the lower part of
the Old Pavilion building, corner of Sixth and M streets, where he has
established a storage and auction house. He will have associated with him in
the business L. BELL, who will officiate as auctioneer.
John Slater has returned to Sacramento, and
will hold four more of his meetings. Mr. Slater has been appearing in Los
Angeles to crowded houses. All are invited to hear him this time, as this will
be his last visit for a good while.
G.W. WATSON and C. FAVERO of Sacramento had a
successful coyote hunt on the Haggin grant last Monday. Watson’s six hounds
scared up the biggest coyote ever seen in this part of the State. After
following him for three hours the dogs finally brought the beast to bay, and he
was dispatched with a shotgun by Mr. Favero. It is estimated that this coyote
was in the habit of eating his weight in chickens and ducks every week of his
worthless life.
