A
SAD STORY
The
Neglected Wife and Children of Carl Dreyfus
The
sad story of Carl Dreyfus, who deserted his family a year ago, is known to
readers of
The
Bee. Mrs. Dreyfus found herself wrecked in mind and spirit by her husband's
base
desertion
and was taken to the Stockton Asylum. She was released a few weeks ago and her
four
children were restored to her. But she
is unable to care for them.
Her
mother has learned that Dreyfus is in Denver and she wants him arrested. City
Attorney
HART has written him in the hope that he will contribute to the support of the
children.

FROM SUISUN
A
Crowd Will Accompany the Ball Team Sunday
A
delegation of Suisin boys is to accompany the baseball club of that city to

by the young
men
from the tules and also by the admirers of the Scott and Gilberts.
The
game will be at Agricultural Park and promises to be a most interesting one.
GOODS
ARRESTED
Robert
GOODS, a special officer, was arrested this afternoon by Chief RODGERS for
assaultinga
man named STEVENS in a third street saloon.
The Chief saw the assault.
VARIOUS
CASES FOR ADJUDICATION BY SOLOMON CRAVENS
It
did not take Judge Cravens and City Attorney HART long this morning to dispose
of
the
Police Court calendar.
WAS
IT EMBEZZLEMENT?
On
May 10th last, R. HELMS swore to a complaint charging A.W. GRAY, a canvasser,
with
embezzlement, in having failed to return to him two pictures, valued at $43,
which
Helms
had loaned to Gray to canvass with.
Gray,
who has been in San Jose, on hearing that a warrant was out for him came to the
police
station this morning and surrendered himself.
He
denies the charge and asserts that there is nothing to it. He says he went to
Davisville with
the
pictures to canvass and on arriving there and finding business dull, he
forwarded the
samples
to this city for Helms.
The
pictures, he says, Helms could have secured at any time, and because they were
not
delivered
to him in person Helms swore to the complaint. Attorney SCOTT appeared for
the
defendant.
The
prosecution not being ready, the case was continued until to-morrow.
Gray
has been released on his own recognizance.
WATER
ORDINANCE VIOLATED.
On
the complaint of Water Inspector Enoch DOLE, J.D. TATE was charged with having
used
the city water for the purpose of irrigation at hours other than those provided
for in
the
ordinance.
The
defendant pleaded not guilty and had his case set for trial on next Saturday.
A
BAD BOY
Henry
MUGACCHIO, a runaway boy, was charged by his father with being vagrant.
The
complaint was made with the object in view of sending the ladto the Whittier
Reform
School.
At the instance of his mother, and the promise that he would behave himself in
the
future, the father relented and asked the Court to discharge his son.
Before
letting him go, however, the Judge gave the lad a good lecture, warning him
that
if
another complaint was made he would surely be sent to the Reform School.
A
GARROTING CASE
William
WILSON, the ex-convict who garroted George A. TYLER on the north levee a
few
Sundays ago, as related in yesterday's Bee, was charged with robbery.
He
was not ready to be examined, and his case was continued for examination until
to-morrow.
A
DRUNKEN INDIAN
INDIAN
JOE, of Woodland, was up for being drunk. Although questioned by the Judge and
the
City Attorney, he would not tell where he bought his liquor.
The
Judge said that if he knew who the men were who had sold him the stuff, it
would give
him
more pleasure to sentence them to six months' imprisonment than to punish the
prisoner.
As
it is, Joe would have to suffer.
The
Court sentenced him to the county jail for thirty days.
SENTENCED
POSTPONED
At
the request of the defendants' attorney the sentence of the two Japs found
guilty of
assaulting
R. F. CASSIDY, manager of a J-Street candy store, was continued until next
Monday.
It
was erroneously published yesterday that Cassidy was found guilty of having
battered the
Japs.
The fact of the matter is that Cassidy was honorably acquitted of the charge,
the
evidence
having wholly failed to prove the allegation set forth in the complaint.
DRUNK
CASES
Belle
WILSON, a female drunk, was too sick to appear in Court and the bailiff was
ordered
to
produce her to-morrow.
Thomas
HARRISON, another drunk, was sent below for five days.
At
Camp Columbus, Santa Cruz, August 10
A
DAY ON THE BEACH
To-day
the beach presented an animated appearance, for the day was perfect and brought
out
all
the guests of the hotels and visitors in crowds.
The
light and attractive costumes of the ladies and the white flannel suits of the
men, joining
with
the blue of the militia, formed a picture not soon forgotten.
Many
new comers are arriving daily and parties, drives and excursions are the order
of the
day.

A
BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT BROUGHT AGAINST HIM.
The
Young Woman was Too Young for Him.
Odell
Married Another Woman, now Miss Emma A. Tilton Declares That She Must Have
onetary
Damages In Order to Soothe Her Wounded Feelings.
The
Examiner this morning has quite a long article on a breach of promise case
brought
in
San Francisco by Miss Emma T. Tilton against M.M. Odell, at the present time a
rancher
near
Sisson, Siskiyou county, but former very well known resident of Sacramento. the
Examiner
says:
Miss
Emma A Tilton, twenty-nine years old, residing at 221 Elm avenue, is seeking
satisfaction
for a broken promise of marriage by suing a northern ranchman for $20,000.
The
complaint was filed yesterday in the Superior Court.
About
a year ago, M.M. Odell, the prosperous proprietor of a ranch in Sisson,
Siskiyou
county,
came to this city in search of a wife. He was 45 years old, he said, and a
widower,
but
now his age is declared to be fifty-five. Here he met an old Sacramento
acquaintance
in
Professor Joseph
R.
Tilton, a patent-medicine-maker, whose specialities are the cure of rheumatism
and
the
restoration of hair on smooth heads. Tilton volunteered to assist in the
finding of a
suitable
companion for Odell, and he brought two elderly widows into a correcpondence
after
his friend has gone back to the ranch. One of the widows was said to be worth
from
$30,000
to $40,000,
but
as she had a more satisfactory offer she refused to accept Odell, and he, in
turn, refused
to
marry the second widow. And so the matchmaker was forced to seek farther.
No
thought of mating his daughter with the Siskiyou rancher was at the time
entertained
by
Mr. Tilton, so he declares, but after a while the stock of eligibles ran out. Then Mr.
Tilton,
eager to help his companion of former days, talked the matter over with Emma.
The
young woman thought from the description that Mr. Odell would be an acceptable
match
for
her; his habits were good, he was forty-five years old and he had a fortune of
$75,000.
These
were his own assertions, to be sure, but still they were worth considering.
A
correspondence ensued between the two, Miss Tilton writing the first letter.
WHAT
HE WANTED
To
this Odell answered as follows:
Sisson,
October 15, 1891
Dear
Miss Tilton: Will say this: Somewhat surprised, but am very much pleased with
your
picture
and will send mine in return. Then you can see what you think of me, as I ain't
hunting
a lady for her money, but one that will make a good wife and a good
housekeeper,
and
love me also, and one that is a lady and can be a lady. I would want you to
dress very
nice
and stylish so that I could be proud of you when I go out. I am very dressy muself.
Would
like to know whether you are a Miss or a Mrs.
Very
Truly, M.M. Odell
THE
RINGS ON HIS HAND
Miss
Tilton thought it was proper for a man to be pruod of his wife and of himself,
and
so
she wrote and said so. Then came the following:
Sisson,
October 26, '91
Miss
E.A. Tilton: I would like to have you come to Sisson and see how you would like
you
future
home and everything around. I would not like to marry a woman and then have
her
disappointed. I want you to come and see that I don't wan t to deceive you in
any way,
but
want you to be satisfied in every way, and then we would live happy and get
along as
nice
and have nothing to regret afterward. If you will come I will pay the expenses
of the
trip,
and you can stop at a hotel while here. You can take a sleeper and rest. I will
go down
the
road and meet as you say. You will know me by two rings on my left hand and one
diamond
on the right. If everything pleases you while here I'll marry you while here or
go
to
the city and get married, but would rather you would come here to Sisson and
see how
you
like it here.
Yours
truly, M.M. Odell
The
next letter from Odell said that he would send the money for her to go to
Sisson, then
on
November 2d he wrote that he was so busy with Grand Jury matters that he cound
not
meet
her.
Thus
correspondence continued all through the Winter. The Grand Jury was frequently
in
session
and Mr. Odell found trouble getting away, but finally he came to San Francisco.
He
called
at Miss Tilton's home on May 5th, and in a brief interview he asked that his
letters
be
returned, and informed Miss Tilton that the marriage could not take place.
She
was too young, he said.
SHE
MEANT BUSINESS
On
the morning of the next day Miss Tilton wrote another letter, and the tone of
it was
different
from that of her previous missives. She had written the first letter, and she
wrote
the
last one. This one ended the correspondence:
San
Francisco, May 6, 1892
Mr.
M.M. Odell, My Dear Friend: I am very much surprised after studying over our
long
correspondence that I am too young for you, although I did not say you were too
old
for me. I never refused to go with you to Sisson, but told you should I go on a
ranch
I
would like to visit my mother once in a while.
And
I do not think any gentleman could object to my request. You told father I did
not
care
to go so far and that everything was settled between us.
Now,
I never could have been more taken back than I was to hear such a thing, at the
same
time
having my letters and picture, making me believe you had love for me. As you
told me
you
had been in the city a few days before coming to see me, I think now you have
been
occupying my time to no puropse. I feel as though I would like to see you again
to
have
a fair understanding and no foolishness. Yours truly, Emma A. Tilton
ODELL
HAD MARRIED
Mr.
Tilton, the father, dropped this letter into a mail-box and then he called
Odell at the
Russ
House to ask a reason for the change. Mr. Odell immediately introduced his
wife. He
had
that very day married Miss SUSAN BARNES, of Oakland.
Miss
Tilton declares that Odell willfully deceived her during the correspondence,
and that
long
before the day of his visit he had intended to marry another woman. She
proposes to
recover
damages now, and she had retained Attorney W.G. BURKE to attach the
defendant's
property for $20,000 and to conduct a suit for that amount.
A
GREAT FOREST FIRE
It
Destroyed Nine Thousand Dollars' Worth of Wood.
Special
to the Bee.
Sisson
(Cal.) August 11 - A fire started in Wright's spur, two miles from town, at
2
A.M., destroying three thousand cords of wood, valued at $9,000 and owned by
the
Railroad
Company and Sisson, Crocker & Co. Wright's mill was in imminent danger,
but
was saved. The fire is under control.
The
Shasta View Hotel, at Mott, six miles from here, was burned this morning. It is
a
total
loss, with the furniture.
The
cause was a defective flue. The wind was from the south, which saved the
town.

A
NOVEL BET
A
Brakeman Wagered That the Banks Would Close.
GALT,
November 17 –
A
trial was commenced in the Justice Court at this place to-day, in which Dick
SCOTT is trying to recover $10 from a brakeman on the Ione train. The money was
lost on a bet. Shortly after the last Presidential election, the brakeman
offered to bet that four months after Cleveland took his seat that every bank
would close. Mr. Scott accepted the bet and the brakeman acted as stakeholder.
Four months after inauguration the banks did close, it being the Fourth of
July.
THEY
GOT BACK
Wherein
This Party of Hunters Were Very Lucky
At
an early hour yesterday morning Police Court Clerk McCRACKEN, Court
Stenographer Bing BRIER and Interpreter Lee HONG started out on a duck-hunting
expedition.
They
were jogging along in their wagon on the Twelfth street trestle near the
American river, where repairs are being made, when the horse made a misstep in
the darkness and fell over trestle, taking wagon, hunters, dogs and all down to
the river bottom.
The
party managed to get back and this was about all they did get as a result of
the hunt.
FIRE
NEAR FOLSOM
The
Home of a Natoma Vineyard Employe Destroyed.
FOLSOM,
November 18 - The residence occupied by Fred JOHNSON, cooper, employed by the
Natoma Vineyard, and situated two miles from Folsom, was entirely destroyed by
fire yesterday. Johnson lost all his earthly possessions. The limbs of an oak
tree overhanging the kitchen were covered with trailing moss that the severe
North wind had dried to tinder, and sparks from the stove pipe igniting the
moss, it dropped on the roof, causing the fire.
PUMPING
PLANT DESTROYED
A
Fire in Which the Loss Was a Cool $15,000
There
was a great fire on Tyler Island late Saturday afternoon.
A
fire started in the tules, which were very dry, and it spread with lightning
rapidity. Had the fire merely stayed in the tules, it would have done but
little damage, but it reached the big pumping plant of C.W. CLARKE and entirely
consumed it, causing a loss of $15,000. The plant was insured for a little over
half that figure.
The
scene of the fire was about four miles south of Walnut Grove.
A
YOUNG FARMER KILLED
His
Death Caused By Being Thrown From a Wagon.
STOCKTON,
November 20 - Eugene A. WARD, a young farmer aged 26 years, was killed
yesterday afternoon in a run-away accident near Linden, this county. The body
was found on the road and it is believed that his neck was broken by being
thrown from the wagon. He was a cousin to the Superintendent of the County
Hospital and was a single man.
NOT
SMITH'S STORE
A
report was current on Saturday to the effect that burglars had entered the
furnishing goods store of M.W. SMITH, on J street, and had stolen a large quantity
of goods and $20 in money. The burglary did occur, but not in Smith's store.
The place visited was the clothing store of S. AXELROD at 420 J street. The
thieves got away with $100 worth of clothing and $20 in money.

RUN
OVER
The
Tragic Death of Rev. J.S. Hutton
He
Falls From a Wagon and the Wheels Pass Over Him.
The
weekly Adin (Modoc county) Argus of the 23d instant contains the particulars of
Rev. J.S. HUTTON's tragic death, a notice of which has already appeared in The
Bee.
On
Tuesday morning, November 14th, Rev. J.S. Hutton, his wife, a son aged 13 years
and a daughter aged 11 years, R.E LAVENTON, his wife and two small children,
Miss Nettie BROWN, F.H. ROBERTS, John KREAGE, L. SHERMAN, J.A. LOTTIE, and a
young man named TRIPLETT left Lookout en route to Sutter City. They were in
different vehicles.
The
accident happened about 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon, November 16th, while the
teams were going down Burney mountain, four miles this side of Montgomery
creek. At the time, Mr. Hutton was sitting on the front wagon of a six-horse
team, along side of Mr. Roberts. The wagon was heavily loaded.
At
the place where the casualty occurred the road goes down a steep mountain side.
On either side of the road is an embankment about as high as the hubs of the
wagon, and the road is rough. Mr. Roberts believes the brake of his wagon
slipped, and that the wagons suddenly ran forward and over a big rock in the
road, throwing Mr. Roberts off the seat. As he fell his right leg was caught in
the spokes of one of the wheels and the team began running. He was carried
around by the wheel two or three times before he miraculously became
extricated. After Mr. Roberts fell, Rev. Hutton grabbed for the lines. Just
then the wagon struck another rock, throwing him in front of the wagon and the
wheels passed over his head. There was no life in his body when he was picked
up. The road being straight the wagons were not upset, and when two or the
horses fell they were stopped. The only damage or injury was to the harness.
Rev.
John S. HUTTON was a native of England, and 56 years of age. He was twice
married, the last time about five years ago. He has a married daughter residing
in Haywards, and a son, married, living near Sacramento; also a son and
daughter with him, as before stated. Rev .Hutton, to the best of our
information, was a member of the Odd Fellows' Lodge at Chico, and was buried by
the society at that place. He was a man and a minister whose life and character
was a model. All who knew him became attached to him, and his friends all
seriously feel the affliction of his untimely and horrible fate, and the memory
of his nobility will never fade.

ABOUT A WOMAN
Row
in Which a Cobblestone and a Pistol Played Part
There came near being a case of murder, or
homicide, or something of the sort, at the Play saloon on Saturday night. A man
named John WOOLSEY got into an altercation with Robert ALLEN, the barkeeper,
and went into the street and picking up a cobblestone returned to the saloon
and threw it at Allen. The latter dodged the missile and it went crashing into
a large plate-glass mirror behind the bar.
Allen immediately drew a pistol and fired a
shot at Woolsey, but failed to hit him. The rock-wielder, fearing that Allen
would do more shooting, took refuge in another saloon near by, where he was
arrested by Officer MALEY.
The trouble was about a woman whose
affection Woolsey claimed Allen had alienated from him.
Moses S. WAHRHAFTIG and Edward STANTEN were
standing on the northwest corner of Fifth and K streets, engaged in
conversation, when they heard the crash of the mirror in the saloon, followed
by the pistol shot.
Woolsey had run in that direction, and
fearing that more shooting was to follow, they left their position on the
sidewalk in a hurry. Stanton bolted up N street, but his companion became
confused, and in his bewilderment ran up Fifth street and stopped at the side
entrance of the Restaurant de France. In his anxiety to get out of the way of
imaginary bullets he did not take the trouble to open the screen and glass
doors, but with a rush and a bound went crashing through them into one of the
private rooms, taking part of the screen and bits of glass with him, which were
afterward picked out in small pieces form his forehead and arms.
It was some time after the shooting that
Wahrhaftig became composed enough to allow an examination to be made, when it
was fount that he was cut slightly over the right eye and on one of his wrists.
CATHOLIC MISSION
One
Will Begin at the Cathedral on the 23d Instant

WHEATLEY’S FRIEND
Jeff
Marshall Taken In on a Charge of Forgery
A man named Jeff MARSHALL was arrested by
Officers RUTHERFORD and ALTER yesterday for vagrancy. The officers say that
Marshall lives on money furnished by his mistress.
Marshall has interested himself considerably
in the case of “Kid” WHEATLEY, who is charged with having placed his wife in a
house of ill-fame. He has, it is said, on several occasions gone to Deputy
Sheriff RUPPERT of Colusa County, who swore to the complaint against Wheatley,
and requested him to say that he (Ruppert) did not know that Wheatley was guilty
of the crime charged against him. Ruppert, however, is satisfied of Wheatley’s
guilt, and will remain in the city to testify against him.
DOUGLAS’ SEARCHLIGHT
The Officer Loses His Diamond While Battling
With Toughs
Policemen who wear diamonds take desperate
chances. While Officer DOUGLAS was trying to break up a riotous gang on L
street on Saturday night he lost a valuable diamond pin as well as his club.
Douglas was receiving such rough handling
that he blew a blast on his police bugle which, if blown in a highland glen a
hundred or more years ago, would have been good for a thousand men, but it had
the effect merely of attracting Officers TALBOT an RUTHERFORD to the scene of
battle.
All the scrappers but one, James WILKINSON,
got away, and Alexander SMITH was also taken in for interfering with
Wilkinson’s arrest.
AT LAST
“Baggage-Smashers”
Run Up Against a Concealed Arsenal
A man employed at the depot came very near being
killed on Saturday. Some baggage was being transferred from one car to another,
and the lighter packages were tossed out.
One of these, a telescope basket, the
catcher muffed and when it struck the asphalt floor of the depot there was an
explosion that suggested dynamite, infernal machines and all sorts of modern
explosives. A bullet ploughed its way up along the leg of the catcher, cutting
a strip our of his trousers, but fortunately inflicting no injury to the man.
It finally found lodgement in the side of a coach.
Investigation showed that the basket
contained a big loaded revolver.
TWO AGAINST ONE
But
the Latter Did Up Both of His Assailants
A Big fight took place at the Bank Exchange
Saloon at Second and K streets yesterday morning, and one of the participants
was carted off to the police station where he was treated for a severe cut over
the right eye.
A man in the saloon was about to order a
drink when two other men asked him to treat them. He refused to do so, and one
of the men began to abuse him. A general row resulted, and the lone individual
succeeded in subduing the others. The injured man refused to give his name to
the police.
BRIEF NOTES
The report of Adjutant-General ALLEN is now
being printed at the State Printing Office.
It is
Miss WARD, and not Miss Bard, of Oakland, who is one of the competitors in the
ladies’ riding tournament at the fair.
Registrations are coning in slowly at the
Court-house. When the office closed on Saturday afternoon 5,337 persons had
registered.
Justice of the Peace HENRY has sentenced S.
KALLMEYER to the County Jail for ten days for stealing a number of sacks from
the HAGGIN ranch.
The examination of Ah LOUIS for assault with
a deadly weapon on a boy named Albert DANGLER, has been taken under advisement
by Justice HENRY.
As the result of a fight in MUNGER’s hop
field the other day, a Chinaman known as Leo was arrested on a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon, and W.J. CARTER for battery.

JOSEPH GETS HIS
The
Others Get Whatever Happens to Be Left
Superior Judge JOHNSON yesterday rendered judgement
in favor of the plaintiff in the suit of Isaac JOSEPH vs. A. MILLER, Pauline
MILLER, the L. ELKUS Company, W. RIGBY, Jr., and J.E. GORMAN, assignee of the
estate of A. MILLER, an insolvent debtor.
The action was brought to recover the sum of
$1,100 due on promissory notes executed to Joseph by defendants Miller, and for
the foreclosure of a mortgage on their property on the northeast corner of
Ninth and O streets, which was executed to secure the payment of the notes.
The Elkus Company held a second mortgage on
the property, and Rigby held an attachment lien, and therefore were made
parties to the suit.
The court appointed H.J. GOETHE commissioner
to sell the property, and fixed his bonds at $1,800, and directed him to pay
out of the proceeds the claims of Joseph first, and apply the balance to the
payment of the claim of the Elkus Company.
HARPERS WAR HISTORY
Number
Twenty Now Ready for Record-Union Subscribers
Part Twenty of Harper’s War History has
arrived, and there are as yet to come only six more, exclusive of an index,
which the publishers are going to issue. Those who have taken advantage of the
offer made by the Record-Union speak in terms of highest praise of the great
work, and when the numbers are complete they will have in their possession a
history of the civil war, which, for detail and correctness, has never been
excelled. The illustrations (end there are many of them) are wood cuts by the
best of engravers during the rebellion, and they add very materially to the
well-written accounts of marches and the battles on land and water. All
important correspondence that passed between the commanders or either side and
higher authorities is given, and it proves an interesting feature of the work.
The parts are sold at eight cents to subscribers of the Record-Union.
UNIMPORTANT CASES
A
Portuguese Misunderstanding and a Vagrancy Charge
Mrs. A.J. SILVA was arraigned yesterday in
the Police Court for disturbing the peace of Mrs. Mary SILVA.
Mrs. Mary Silva said defendant had stated that
her husband stole her wood. She was in the street and spoke very loud.
The parties and witnesses are all Portuguese
and the evidence conflicting. The case was dismissed.
George LLOYD, charged with vagrancy, pleaded
guilty, and was given twenty days in jail. He was also charged with petit
larceny, in stealing a trunk, but the charge was dismissed.
An Abusive Tramp Shot
On Wednesday night the brakeman of the
East-bound overland train found some tramps riding on the brakebeam when the

became abusive. He was shot in the leg by one of the brakemen, the bullet
making a painful but not a dangerous wound. One of the Supervisors sent him to
the Yolo County Hospital yesterday morning, where he is being cared for.
Squeezed
Between Cars
T.J. APPLEGATE, a brakeman, was caught
between two cars which he was coupling at Newcastle yesterday morning, and
badly squeezed about the body. He was brought to the Railroad Hospital for
treatment. While his injuries are painful, they are not believed to be serious.
PULLED THE SPIKES
Four
Men Attempt to Wreck a Train Near Dunnigan
The track-walker who has charge of the
railroad near Dunnigan discovered four men tampering with the track near that
place on Wednesday evening about 6 o’clock. He returned to the town and
reported the fact, giving a description of the men.
The Sheriff and officers immediately started
in pursuit of the scoundrels and have strong hopes of bagging them. They had
removed about thirty spikes, and had they not been interrupted a serious wreck
might have been the result.
Weather Notes
The Weather Bureau reports show the highest

A Novel Wagon
S. HOWE of San Francisco has on exhibition at
the Pavilion a novel wagon for fruit and farming purposes. The novelty of the
invention lies in the fact that each front wheel turns to pivot and the wagon
is guided not by the pole but by the draught. The wheels are of steel, and
other novel combinations make the wagon an interesting object.
Notes
Ladies desiring really artistic and beautiful
millinery should see those imported pattern hats being sold at a big reduction
to-day at the Red House, J. street, between Seventh and Eighth.
There have been many illusions presented to
the public which have caused wonder and admiration, but none to compare with
the beautiful “Ariel” Illusion, where a living woman floats through space,
turning in all directions without any apparent support. The verdict of all who
have seen it is that if you visit the Pavilion and do not see the “Queen of the
Air” you miss one of the most beautiful and certainly the most mystifying
exhibition in the great building. There is also shown, without extra charge,
Galatea, consisting of five distinct transformations, from the statue to the
living woman, the skeleton, a bouquet of flowers, the living woman and back
again to the statue.
Dr. LAWTON has received the first and only
premium on all exhibits in optical goods at State Fair, also on his Lawton
lasting lenses. The doctor has every facility for correcting any error of the eye,
which he does at his exhibit, next to Sacramento County display, free of
charge. He gives written guarantee to give satisfaction.
The Aermotor, Miller Bros., agents, received
first premium for best windmills.
The steamer Belvidere will hold over on her
up trip Saturday until 5 p.m. Sunday in order to accommodate people of the
fair.
The Parvin Estate
Joseph KELLY, executor of the will and
testament of Eliza PARVIN, deceased, has renounced all right to act as such
executor, and requests the Superior Court to appoint John DEMARTINI of San
Francisco to act in his stead.
Demartini has applied to the court that the
will of the deceased be admitted to probate, and that letters of administration
be issued to him. The estate is valued at $1,770.
Final Accounts Allowed
The final account of Mrs. Mary HOFFNER,
executrix of the estate of Dr. George V. EWING, deceased, was allowed in the
Superior Court yesterday. The estate in California consists of real and
personal property valued at $7,472.97. The administration here is an auxiliary
one, the principal administration being in Utah. The fee of J.H. LIGGETT,
attorney for the executrix, was fixed by Judge JOHNSON at $200.
Cabrillo Celebration
The commander of the Fourth Brigade and staff
have received an invitation to attend the Cabrillo celebration at San Diego on

the 352d anniversary of the discovery of San Diego harbor by Don Juan Rodriguez
Cabrillo, and elaborate arrangements for the celebration are now being made.
McMann Shows Up
P.J. McMANN, the Oregon horseman who had not
been seen by his friends from Wednesday evening up to Thursday night, turned up
yesterday.
His friends were so pleased to see him alive
that no questions were asked.
Served a Warrant
Constable J.B. BRISSEL went out near Florin
yesterday and served a warrant on Mrs. WEEDON for battery on J. McNAIR. The
latter claims that he went to Weedon’s house to collect some interest due him,
when Mrs. Weedon struck him in the face.

NEIGHBORHOOD QUARRELS
A
Couple of Them Ventilated in the Police Court
Yesterday was family day in the Police
Court, and considerable neighborhood linen was washed. The attention of the
court was occupied in the morning by battery cases, in which the HENLEYs,
FLOWERS, COSTERs, BLOOMBERGs and LITCHENSTEINs figured prominently.
Mrs. Henley, her daughter Della, and Mrs.
Flowers were charged with having committed battery on a girl named Lena Coster.
The complaining witness testified that on the 8th inst. she was
attacked at Thirteenth and S streets by the Henleys and Mrs. Flowers and
severely beaten.
It appears that the trouble between the
parties arose out of the fact that a girl named Virginia FORGAUS informed Miss
Helney that the Coster girl referred to the latter as a “chippy.” Miss Henley
met the young lady and said to her: “I am a chippy, am I?” and, according to
the defendant’s version of the affair, Miss Coster raised her hand as if she
was going to strike Miss Henley.
Miss Coster testified that the defendants
attacked her from all sides, and as her opponents were too many and too strong
for her, she was soon rendered hors du combat.
All the parties interested took a turn in
testifying and when they had finished Justice DEVINE said there was a conflict
of testimony and some very tall lying done somewhere.
Mrs. Henley and Mrs. Flowers were discharged
and Miss Henley was found guilty.
BLOOMBERGS VS. LITCHENSTEINS
The other family row was between the
Bloombergs and Litchensteins. Mrs. Annie Litchenstein testified that on last
Saturday morning she was walking from her husband’s second-hand store on K
street to an adjacent drug store when Mrs. Bloomberg came up and struck her in
the face. Mrs. Litchenstein said she knew of no reason why Mrs. Bloomberg
struck her, unless it was on account of business jealousies.
Mrs. Bloomberg, in her own behalf, testified
that she was in the act of inducing a couple of men to enter the store to make
some purchases when Mrs. Litchenstein followed and applied vile epithets to
her.
Of course, Mrs. Litchenstein denied the
allegation, and as there was another witness who saw the affray, but who was
not in attendance in court, the matter was continued until this morning.
Damon Murder Case
Judge JOHNSON yesterday continued for the
term the cases of Manuel and Richard STRIBE for the murder of A.G. DAMON.
The case of M.C. YOUNG for mayhem on Jacob
GEBERT was also continued for the term.
A Recruit for Folsom
Deputy Sheriff H.C. McCLURE of Los Angeles
County arrived in this city yesterday, en route to Folsom Prison with Charles
Emery WELDON, sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for burglary.
REFUSED NATURALIZATION
An Ignorant Alien Who Thought He Was Ripe for
Citizenship
Gustave ROSEMAN, a native of Germany, was
admitted to citizenship yesterday by Superior Judge JOHNSON, on the testimony
of F.W. STEINMEYER and H.L. ECKMAN.
Antonio Joaquin MACIEL, a native of the
Azore Islands, applied for citizenship, but he was so ignorant of the duties
and qualifications of a citizen and possessed so little knowledge of the
affairs of the country that Judge Johnson refused to admit him.
The applicant could hardly write his own
name, and could not read the English language. He did not know who the Chief
Executive of the nation is, nor the Governor of the State, and did not know
whether they were termed Kings or what-not. He did not know what form of
government we are living under, and could not tell how long he had lived in the
country.
He was told that he was ineligible to become
a citizen, and would have to become acquainted with the principles and form of
the government.

THE BOILER-HEAD WAS BLOWN OUT
Fatal Explosion on a Railway
Locomotive
Fireman
Charles Lipscomb Thrown Through the Snowshed, and Dies of His Injuries.
It is rarely that accidents of a serious
nature happen to locomotive boilers, but one occurred yesterday in the
snowsheds near Blue Canyon, which resulted fatally to Charles LIPSCOMB, fireman
of one of the eastbound trains.
Warren GODDARD, the engineer, was also badly
scalded about the hands and arms, but his injuries are not serious.
While the train was passing through the
snowsheds, and just as the locomotive was opposite one of the openings made in
the side of the shed to admit the light, the head of the boiler blew out with
terrific force.
LIPSCOMB was in such a position at the time
that he received the full force of the escaping steam. He was lifted up and
thrown clear over the tender headforemost through the narrow openings in the
shed. He brought up with his head against the bank of the cut.
Engineer Goddard escaped with the scalding
of his arms, the injury being very painful. Although badly bruised by coming in
contact with the ground, it was not thought at the time that Lipscomb was
dangerously injured, severe as were his scalds.
Dr. HOOD of Gold Run did all that was
possible to alleviate the sufferings of the injured men, and came with them to
this city, an engine and caboose having been promptly placed at this service to
convey them hither.
They were taken direct to the Railroad
Hospital and immediate attention given them. But Lipscomb was beyond human
relief, and died about 5 o’clock in the afternoon.
Engineer Goddard is getting along nicely and
will be all right in a few weeks.
It has not yet been ascertained what was the
direct cause of the explosion, as the locomotive was thought to be in perfect
condition when it left the roundhouse.
Several years ago a locomotive boiler
exploded in the snowsheds between the Summit and Truckee. In that instance the
boiler was torn asunder, one heavy piece being thrown with such force that it
cut directly through a thirty-inch upright post of the showshed. Boiler
accidents, however, are rare occurrence on railroads.
DEATH OF MRS. MARVIN
One of the Earliest Residents of the City
Passes Away
Mrs. Amelia L. MARVIN, wife of the late Wm. W.
Marvin, died very suddenly yesterday morning of heart trouble at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. F.A. JEWELL.
Deceased was an old resident of this city,
having lived here for the past forty years. She leaves five children to mourn
her loss - F.W. and H.A. Marvin of San Francisco, Mrs. T.W. STROBRIDGE of Los
Angeles, and Wm. W. Marvin and Mrs. F.A. Jewell of this city.
SWALLOWED A PLUM FIT
Charles
Head is Dangerously Ill at His Rooms.
Charles HEAD, manager for the Charles P.
NATHAN Company, swallowed a plum pit last Tuesday, which has resulted in
inflamation of the bowels, and is confined to his room at the Lull House.
He was in a very precarious condition
yesterday morning and a consultation of physicians was called. Last night it
was thought he was slightly better, but he is still dangerously ill and it is
questionable whether or not he can recover.

DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN
Charles McCreary Passes Away in His 56th
Year.
Although
in Delicate Health for Some Time the Final Summons Came Suddenly
The community was deeply pained on Saturday
evening as the report gained currency that Charles McCREARY, the well-known
flour merchant and manufacturer, had died at his home at Tenth and L streets.
Mr. McCreary’s ailment was caused by a local
cancerous growth, and of late it became apparent that he would have to submit
to a painful operation as offering the only possibility of prolonging his life.
The operation was performed on Saturday by Dr. L.C. LANE of San Francisco, the
noted surgeon, but the patient could not rally, and a few hours afterward
breathed his last.
Deceased was a native of Sandusky, O., where
he was born October 6, 1838. He came to California in 1850, when his father,
the late W.P. McCREARY, brought his family hither, engaging in the flouring
business in this city in 1852.
Early in life the deceased and his brother
Byron conducted a farm in Yolo County, but at the end of four years they returned
to this city and became interested with their father in the milling business.
They succeeded their father on his death and together carried on the
Front-street mill until the death of Byron McCreary a few years ago, since
which time deceased conducted it in his own name, assisted by his sons Harry
and Robert.
In 1865 Charles McCreary was married to
Leora, daughter of the late Judge Robert C. CLARK, who, with their two sons,
survive him. He was not only one of the most prominent business men in the
State, but a citizen who enjoyed the respect and esteem of this entire
community.
Mr. McCreary had no taste for political
strife, and was never a candidate for office, his whole time being devoted to
the management of his large business interests. He was firm in his political
convictions and was always active in the support of the better class of men for
local officers.
In his death the State has lost a prominent
representative of its leading commercial interests, and Sacramento has been
deprived of a citizen whose influence was always used for the best interests of
the community - a man of irreproachable character and one of her best citizens.

His Wife Has Been Informed That He is in This
State
A Mrs. Bradford of Wilmington, Del., has
written to Chief of Police DREW asking for information of her husband, Dr.
Bradford, who left home in June, 1893, without her knowledge and has never been
heard from since.
She knows of no reason for his leaving
except that he was worried over money matters and thinks that as he was a
surgeon he may be acting as agent for some house that sells surgical
instruments. She has been told by two men that they saw him in this State not
long ago. She asks Chief Drew to let her know if he can get any trace of him.
He was a graduate of Princeton College and about 35 years old.
BRIEF NOTES
The Supervisors will meet to-day to fix the
county tax rte for the ensuing year.
Any full-grown man, except perhaps a Jap,
could wade the river now opposite the city. The water there is only four and a
half to five feet deep.
A man named TRACY, who appears to be insane,
was taken in on Saturday night by Officer LOGUE. He was about to kill himself.
Tracy is a stevedore.
The man who was found drowned in the river
below the Yolo bridge last Friday has not been identified He was probably
someone who had come here in search of work.

Death
in Colusa of a Former Sacramento Resident
A correspondent writes as follows of the
death of Erasmus Spurgeon, a former resident of this city:
“Erasmus Spurgeon, an old resident of Colusa
County, died at his home, one mile south of Colusa, on Sunday morning last,
after a prolonged attack of dropsy. Mr. Spurgeon commanded the respect of a
large number of acquaintances. He was an honorable man and his death is a great
loss to the community. He formerly resided in Sacramento, where he was well
known.
“Deceased was a native of Howard, Me., and
was in his fifty-eighth year. He leaves a widow, three sons and one daughter,
also four brothers and two sisters - L.A. Spurgeon of Sacramento, L.B. and
William Spurgeon of Woodland, J. Spurgeon of Chico, Mrs. W.D. Campbell and Mrs
Ben Ely, Jr., of Woodland.
“The funeral took place on Tuesday from the

which he was a member.
PELICAN CLUB SHOOT
The County Championship to be Determined
To-morrow
At the American River shooting grounds the
Pelican Gun Club will to-morrow hold its tournament for the county live-bird
trap-shooting championship.
Beside the usual pool-shooting events, there
will be a match at twenty-five birds, $10 entrance, which latter will include
the cost of birds. The winner of this match will be declared the champion
wing-shot of the county. It is expected that there will be a large list of
competitors, as there are quite a number of gentlemen in various parts of the
county who are excellent wing-shots.
The shooting will commence at 10 o’clock in
the forenoon, and will be open to everyone.
Foresters’

AMATEUR BOXING

MADE HIM PUNGLE
Vain
Attempt of a Man to Defraud a Restaurant Keeper.
About a week ago a man obtained a meal at
E.E. TOWLE’s restaurant, 216 J street, but slipped out, while the proprietor
was in the kitchen, without paying for it.
Much to Towle’s surprise, the same person
entered the place again yesterday and ordered a fifteen-cent meal. Towle recognized
him, but did not let on. He told his wife to keep watch of the customer while
he went to the kitchen, and shortly afterward she notified him that the man was
gone.
Towle hastened to the front, but his
customer had gained the sidewalk and was hastening up J street. The restaurant
man pursued, and then the fugitive started to run. Towle overtook him before he
reached Third street and knocked him down with a blow in the back. When the man
got up he feigned innocence, and pretended to be surprised when the restaurant
man told him he had not paid for his meal.
He fished out fifteen cents, and then Towle
told him to “dig again,” that there was on old and similar account against
him. The fellow had no more money, but
he stopped a passing street car and borrowed fifteen cents from the conductor,
with whom he was acquainted. He was then allowed to go.
Towle says he is informed that the man lives
in the suburbs and passes as a respectable citizen.

began firing at Maracci. The latter then ran into the saloon, and Patralli
followed him, and in a short time afterward Petralli came out, when he was
arrested.

Wednesday,
November 7, 1894
Chief of Police DREW has received a letter
from Mrs. W.V. CHASE of 1520 Mason street, San Francisco, asking him to trace
her mother, if possible. She started from that city for Sacramento twenty-three
years ago, with considerable money in her possession and has never been heard
of since. Sone recent developments, she says, impelled her to make the request.
Mrs. Macy Snook Deceased
Mrs. Mary E. SNOOK died in this city
yesterday at the age of 56 years. Deceased was a sister of Halsey G. SMITH and
mother of Miss Jennie Snook, Mrs. Minnie WASSER, Frank, John and Louis Snook.
She was a native of Tompkins County, N.Y. The date of the funeral has not been
announced.
Fell From a Buggy
A little girl named MASON, while attempting
to get out of a buggy on J street, near Third, yesterday afternoon, caught her
feet in the lines and was thrown quite forcibly to the ground, bruising her
somewhat. Fortunately the horse did not start and she escaped further injury.
Run Down by a Buggy
A man named Alfred CAMPBELL was run over by a
buggy in which two ladies were driving at Seventh and K streets yesterday
afternoon. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where it was found that he
had received but slight injuries.
Horse Recovered
The horse Black Prince, which was reported on
Monday to have been stolen from Agricultural Park, was found yesterday in a
stable near by. The transfer was probably made by way of a joke.
Died in an Asylum
Mrs. Elizabeth GALLENACH, who formerly dealt
in flowers at Nineteenth and C streets, died in the Napa Insane Asylum on
Monday.
BADLY MIXED
Runaways
and Smashups Yesterday Forenoon
There were two exciting runaways at Sixth
and I streets yesterday morning, and involved the smashing up of three
vehicles.
Dr. L.A. McLEAN’s horse, which was attached
to a phaeton, came running down I street at a furious gait, and turning the
corner of Sixth street toward J, struck a wagon on which was a bale of hay. The
driver was sitting on the hay, while his horse was drinking form the watering
trough on the corner, and was unmindful of anything that would occur to disturb
him or his horse. As soon as McLean’s buggy came in contact with the hay-wagon
over went the whole combination. The doctor’s horse broke loose from the wreck
and proceeded on his way towards J street.

entered and left the edifice. At the conclusion of the services at the church a
reception was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. A.S. BALDWIN.
THAT LIBERTY POLE
Some Say It Is Too Big at the Top
Perhaps the public-spirited gentlemen who
have procured the big liberty pole to be erected on the Plaza should be
permitted to exercise their own judgement as to just what sort of pole they
intend to give the city. Still, it has been suggested that unless it is tapered
off toward the top it will look very top-heavy and clumsy - too much like a ship’s
mainmast.
A flagstaff should, of course, be of
graceful proportions, and it is claimed that a diameter of six inches at the
top for a 175–foot staff is too much. Three inches would be nearer the proper
dimensions.
The subject is now being quite generally
discussed, and Colonel KELLOGG has been so besieged by persons with suggestions
that he is beginning to wonder whether or not it pays to be patriotic.
BRIEF NOTES
Mrs. Mary G. DUNN, Department Inspector for
the Woman’s Relief Corps, left for Fresno and Tulare yesterday.
The old poplar trees around the Convent
property are being removed, as their roots would interfere with the new cement
sidewalk that is to be laid. The grounds are also being surrounded by a new
fence.
A man, his wife and child applied at the
police station yesterday for relief. They came from Carlin, Nev., where the
head of the family went out on the railroad strike and stood pat too long.
Chief DREW gave them a meal, which was the best he could do for them.
Superior Court Cases
Owing to the WAGNER trial going on in
Department One of the Superior Court, the following cases have been postponed
until next Monday:
People vs. Fred DENNY, robbery; People vs.
William GOLDSPRING, assault with caustic chemical. The cases of People vs.
Reclamation District No. 551, and Reclamation District No. 551 vs. Sol RUNYON
and P.J. VON LOBEN SELS were continued, to be reset.
The case of Charles PERKINS, for the robbery
of W.F. JACKSON, was postponed until this afternoon.
Taken to Folsom
Sheriff INLOW of Yuba County passed through
the city yesterday, on route to Folsom, with Tony SMITH, who is under sentence
for a year and a half for assault with a deadly weapon on a brakeman who
attempted to put him off a train.
SMITH received a light sentence because he
pleaded guilty in the Superior Court, testifying in mitigation that he paid a
brakeman half a dollar for his ride, and considered that he ought not to be put
off.
HATCH MURDER TRIAL
A
Jury Secured in the Murder Case at Woodland
Late yesterday afternoon a jury was secured
