THOUGHT SHE WAS SINGLE Professor Knowlton Has No Chance to Say: "Bless You." A Divorce Suit Informs the Father of Hie Daughter's Mar \ • riage. Professor Ebenezer E. Knowlton, vice- 1 principal of the Lincoln Grammar School, did not know he was the father-in-law of Samuel A. Beggs of Los Gatos until he read it in the Call yesterday afternoon. When he was questioned regarding . the peculiar marriage of his daughter Ethel, he looked puzzled, then he replied that there was some mistake, as he had but one married daughter, Maud, and she was in Chicago. . ?;. 77"- But the professor was wrong, and his daughter, Ethel M. Knowlton, was mar ried to Samuel A. Beggs on July 6 of last year. Miss Ethel, or Mrs. Beggs, is an ex ceedingly pretty girl, about 22 years of age. She was camping near Los Gatos last summer and met young Beggs, son of the proprietor of Lakeview Farm. As an evi dence of their mutual affection they de cided to marry, and a contract was drawn up and signed. The contract is, perhaps, without paral lel in California matrimonial histories. The two young people were to love and cherish each other. There their intimacy was to cease, and : evidently it did cease, for Mrs. Beggs. came home after the sum mer's vacation, and her father was utterly ignorant of her having secured a husband. "I don't remember ever having seen any one by the name of Beggs at the house," he said yesterday, ana. then he thought | very .hard.. As a result he announced: i t "Yes, I do, though. He . visited us once. | But he called as any other young man ! would." -'■•■ yyy- - Mr. Knowlton wanted to talk with his wife and daughter in order to find if the latter was really married, and to learn what they had to say about the matter. Later in the evening he said that the facts stated in the Call in regard to the provi sion for the marriage contract were true. . "That's all I know," he said. "My wife and daughter told me that. They then re fused to tell me anything more, saying that if I didn't know anything I would have nothing to tell." The house of Mr? Knowlton at 876 Shot well street was barred to newspaper men yesterday. Neither Mrs. Knowlton nor her daughter would receive them, announcing that they "had nothing to say. Mr. Knowlton declared himself ignorant 'of the service of any papers in the case. He said the suit would probably be allowed to go by default and the contract annulled. Even should they wish to contest Mr. Beggs' suit lawyers say the contract would most probably be set aside, as a marriage such as it contemplates would ,not be in accordance with good public policy. Following is the peculiar contract : That I. Ethel M. Knewlton, do solemnly swear to love, honor, obey and acknowledge be fore God and man as my lawful wedded hus band the other said party to this contract. That I, Samuel A. Beggs, do solemnly promise to love, honor, cherish and acknowledge before God and man as my lawfully wedded wife the aforesaid party to this contract. That we do solemnly promise to live together as man and wife and maintain the relations as such till death ao us part. - In witness whereof we jointly and severally set our hand and seal, this the 6th day of July, in the year of our Lord 1894. * 1 Ethel M.

City of Rio de Janeiro ar rived from China and Japan at an early hour yesterday morning, appearing little the worse foi her collision with the hidden rock off. Kagoshima. Bhe was twenty-six days from Hongkong and sixteen from Yo kohama. 7 News by the steamer confirms the loss of the sealing vessel George W. Peabody, but no' further particulars of the wreck have been furnished. ' The -crew were on their way to Yokohama when the Rio sailed. The vessel, however, is a 7 total 7 wreck. When the Rio left ' Yokohama'; there were no less than eighteen sealers in port, among them being the Mattie T. Dyer, Jane Gray and the Winchester. All the vessels went direct .'to ■ Japan'- from San Francisco, and allarrivfed more or* less ■ damaged, the trip across the Pacific having | been a tempestu ous one.. The Winchester had 230 seals.? THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1895. PLANS FOR THE FIESTA. Great Progress Being Made by ; the Citizens* Com- ? mittee. TO ENLIGHTEN THE PEOPLE. It Is Proposed to Break the Time • Record to Los An . geles. If energetic! intelligent and - public spirited action . counts , for anything, Cali fornia may confidently look forward to en joying' a condition of. prosperity, that | will be unparalleled in its history. It will not result from what is popularly termed a boom, but will be the natural growth of. applying substantial measures to the de velopment of the wonderful resources of this great commonwealth. This work is now fairly under way under the auspices of the Half-Million Club, and is being pushed with unabating ardor. The proposition that is just now engag ing its attention is the excursion to the Los Angeles fiesta and the return trip, the. \ latter to be made a tour through some of the most interesting sections of the State, the idea being to j educate the people of each section in the wonderful possibilities of the entire State. Among the towns that it has been decided to visit are Bakers field, Fresno, Tulare, Porterville, Stock ton, Sacramento', MarysA'ille, Napa, Santa Rosa, Monterey, San Jose, Newcastle and- Auburn. Communications have been re ceived from all of these towns named, signifying that they | will be prepared to entertain the excursionists? except San Jose and Porterville, but. these will prob ably be heard from to-day. •/• The finance committee of the citizens' committee, which has been amalgamated with.the Half-Million Club, has made good progress in the work of raising money for the excursions and to defray the cost of entertaining the visitors when they arrive in this city. Twenty additional members were added to the 'committee, and these were then organized into sub-committees, to each of which was assigned a special class of business men from whom to solicit subscriptions. :;/ 7 ... • At the meeting of the promotion com mittee of the citizens' committee yesterday it was decided that all expenditures must be authorized by the finance committee and all bills be audited by that committee and Chairman W. M. Bunker. . An appropriation of about $200 was asked by Chairman Frank A. Vail of the publica tion committee to use in printing and dis tributing pamphlets in the southern part : of the State so as to attract attention to the excursion to the northern part of the State. After discussion the matter was referred to the finance committee. Chairman D. M. Carman of the transpor tation reported that the Southern Pacific Railroad has offered to I make up a train of seven compartment cars, a dining and a baggage, and to arrange a time schedule for it that will beat , anything . ever before run between San , Francisco and Los Angeles, making it a genuine flyer. It is proposed to have the excursion leave here on the evening of Monday, April 15, and to remain in Los Angeles for at least a week, during which side excur sions would be arranged to Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Riverside, Redlands, San i Bernardino and Cotton. ' Coupons j for these would be attached' to the regular tickets, and if the excursions are not taken the coupons will be redeemed. The main excursion train will be side tracked at Los Angeles, and those who de sire can make their home in the cars. A register of the names of those apply ing to participate in the excursion will be kept by the finance committee, who will make its selection from .the register. Should it be found necessary, another ex cursion train will be made up. It is ex pected that about 1500 to 2000 people will be induced to make the trip south, and that an even larger number will take part in the return tour from Los Angeles. During the progress of the meeting the following telegram was received from Sa cramento: -yy/'Y y??yy~;/ i 7 Mayor Stelnm an extends invitation to citi zens' committee to send delegates to Sacra mento to attend meeting set for 3 x*. m. to morrow, AVednesday. Please reply, them and wire if accepted. Action was immediately taken by au thorizing Chairman Bunker to appoint two delegates to go to Sacramento. ', ' The transportation committee was I in structed to complete all transportation arrangements and : present a formulated statement of the excursions. at the next meeting of the committee, which adjourned to Thursday at 3:30 p.m. \ Just before ad journment the following committee on en tertainment was appointed: Alfred Bouvier, Frank 8. son,.Wal ter M. Castle, Louis Sloss Jr., FranK Dal ton, O.D. Baldwin, Frank Vail, Albert Gerberding, J. Downev Harvey, Frederick W. Zeile, George D. Toy, I. Gutte, Hugo Keil, David Rich, M. Kohlberg. 7 It is reported that the excursionists will reach this city on their return about May 2. ,' -. -■ '• .. ■■ LAWS OF SELF-DEFENSE. A Peculiar Point Brought Out by the Supreme Court. The Rights of an Original Aggressor to Defend Himself Are Defined. — — . ~— — — _— One of the most peculiar questions which has enlivened the opinions rendered by the Supreme '. Court in some time was brought into the decision of a case yester day. The case was that of Charles Button, who, after a trial upon a charge of murder, was convicted of manslaughter. ?* While out camping with several others, and while the whole party was well under the influence of liquor, Button assaulted one of the party, who was lying upon the ground . in a drunken stupor, • his • head resting upon a stone. Without "apparent provocation Button jumped upon his up turned face and stamped upon it until it was almost. unrecognizable ; then, seized with remorse, he hunted up his: horse and saddled it preparatory to leaving the camp. - While thus engaged, however, and about fifteen minutes after his brutal assault, the man he had* attacked came after Button with a knife. He was disarmed, and then he grabbed his rifle,- and as. he was a-> proaching Button 7 the second time, the rifle in his hand, Button shot him. The plea was self-defense, in ' that i Button had tried to avoid a second quarrel. 7 .7 y, ; -: ? yln dealing with the question the Su preme Court holds that? he who first'pro vokes a quarrel 7 and then tries to prevent altercation is allowed to defend himself," provided * the ■ other? man under stands that such !is the intention *of i his opponent. Should the second man be will fully blind to the overtures of : peace being made, he must take the? consequences, but should the | original assault be of so brutal a nature that he is deprived of ; his reason ing power, then the actions 'of . his oppo nent in defending himself cannot be ex cused :by the plea of self-defense. v. It is then v practically but ;an "■ assault, while in the former case ; it ; is,' in the ■ eyes of the court, two distinct offenses— first with the original assailant as the offender, the second witb his opponent as the guilty one? v The case was one from San Bernardino .County. • The judgment ; was ' reversed be cause the charge of the court had not been complete: on this .peculiar point in self defense.fy/7;????'?!

As in the case of the former consignment the present supposed consignee was W. R.

Last year they got together, and j jumped the price i*p from about $4 50 per ton to $6 and even as high as $3. Of course i our business would not, could net, stand i anything like that,' and when they saw that we could bring salt here all the way : from Sicily at an advantage it broke their | back. This year they have a similar un- : derstanding to v keep the price up, and we } find ourselves under the necessity of bring ing salt from abroad. yy' y '•But there is another reason, and a very j important one, too. ' We have found that ■ the salt 7 furnished by the local men has | not be«*n ,. like 7 the samples submitted. 1 When we pack our fish and send it East we are told that the fish packed in San" i Francisco salt seems all right until it comes ! to cooking, but after being cooked the fish ; is tough. Some very fine samples of bay salt have been submitted to us, but the , real article itself, as afterward furnished, i seems to have an unusually large quantity , of lime, magnesium and sodium in it, and ; what we want is salt. Now, this Sicily salt j is used all through the East. ! At Glouces- ! ter it is the only kind used, and we find that we must use? this Trapani salt if we i expect a .market for our product." : ''.-';'■ • For Home-Made Cigars. • In view of the fact that the community Is ap parently eager to patronize home industries Cigar-makers' Union N0.. 228 therefore takes the initiative and has called a convention of delegates from all the cigar-makers' unions in the State of California, to be held at San Fran cisco on May 4 arid :6, for the i purpose of forming a blue-label league. The object of the label league is to disseminate information to the smokers of this State so that they will at a glance, when purchasing cigars, be able to dis cern whether the cigars are the product of home industry or not. The basis of represen tation to the convention will be one delegate for each union and one for each fifty members or majority fraction thereof. The convention will be closed on Monday, May 6, with a mass meeting in the evening at Metropolitan Temple. HOTEL AEEIVALS. BUSS HOUSE. '■■".. . CII Peters.

I ' > FRUIT GROWERS REJOICE. Reductions of Freight Charges - Upon Refrigerated .7 ' Fruits. CONCESSIONS BY RAILROADS. A New Tariff Sheet Put Into Effect ,by, the Armour Com- y ; pany. ■The Fruit-Growers' . Express . and Re frigerating Service of Armour & Co. has secured concessions, from the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific Railway , com panies which. have brought about a very large reduction in the freight rates on re frigerated fruits from California points to, the principal markets in the East. The reduction went into effect on ?the Ist hist. and lessens the cost of ' freight more than $50 a carload, on an average, as will be seen by the following rate sheet, which shows the old and new tariffs: 7 7? The further concession made? by. the Fruit-Growers' Express as regards the re frigerating of excess weight? over .24,000 pounds makes a very important item in the reduction .of shipping expenses. Of course these reductions could not have been made had not the managers of the refrigerating service succeeded in securing a large reduction on the charges for dead weight by the railroad companies. * This reduction, as explained by -. Robert Gra ham, general manager of the Fruit-grow ers' Express, who is at present a guest at the Palace, was effected- by the following agreement, viz. : that . the railroad com panies grant 150 per cent dead weight, based on the load, charging in excess of that weight 20 cents per 100. In other words, a car containing a load of 24,000 pounds will be charged in freight for 10,000 pounds only, at 20 cents a 100, mak ing the carload rates $20 instead of $30 as formerly.' In further J explanation of the details of the new rates Mr. Graham said: 'Our company is having constructed a large number of cars especially built for carrying deciduous fruits. The cars which have been in use by the Rock Island Fruit Express for the past two years are the property of Armour & Co., and as they have proven very satisfactory during the period stated above the new cars will be practically of the same construction, but what few improvements are found neces sary will be made. * In : referring :to the tariff of refrigeration charges I would like to draw your attention to the material reduction on the old rates, vary ing from $35 per. car, Sacramento to - Chicago, to $60 per car, Sacramento to Boston. '.This does not include all the reduction, as you will notice in the circular that the rates quoted are irrespective of weight, as we will not charge anything extra on excess over 24,000 hounds. One other feature of the new tariff I would mention, namely, the still further reduction on cars that are forwarded with the ventilators open to our main icing station at Truckee. Much of the fruit shipped can be forwarded without detriment in this way. In fact, experi ence leads me to believe that in some instances where cars are loaded in the afternoon and can be forwarded the same night the fruit is bene fited by the cool air blowing through the car during the night. -'•'■'.'' The average amount of reduction for the year's shipments would be over $300,000, a clear saving to the fruit-growers. TWO WEEKS MOKE TAKEN.

The paper to which -Mr. McEnerney.re ferred was that in which Dr. Levingston accepted the trust of executor under the holographic will. It was announced some days ago that he would do so. Dr. Lev ingston was represented by J. D. Sullivan. '•I will set the case for two weeks from to-day, April 16," said Judge Slack, "and when the court meets on the Bth inst. the matter set for that day will also go over until then." '. Whatever rights any : one might have would be extinct until that time, declared the court, arid it was expressly 1 stated that the rights of the executors and of the minor heirs would be included, y. ;.':/.
