MISS WALLACE'S DEBUT
National Guard Kail the Scene of
a Brilliant Social Gath
ering.
WAS AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS.
The Wealth, Culture and Beauty of
San Francisco Assemble to
Dance and Feast.
Judge and Mrs. William T. Wallace
opened the dancing season with their ball
last evening given in honor of their daugh
ter, Miss Romie Wallace, at National
Guard Hall, 815 Ellis street, near Van
Ness avenue, and it was, as all other func
tions given by them, a splendid social and
artistic success. There were gathered the
intelligence, the wealth and the beauty of
San Francisco, and it is doubtful if, in all
the social history of San Francisco, there
has ever been held an event of a similar
kind, the appointments, the surroundings
and the personnel of which blended and
harmonized so well and so happily, insur
iug entire and unqualified success.
For weeks not only the debutante, but i
the married and older women as well, have '
been looking forward to this affair as one ;
of great pleasure and unusual interest.
The first ball of the season 13 the one at
which many young women make their
debut, and many a beautiful gown was j
worn for the first time last evening.
As the hour of 10 o'clock approached,
the neighborhood of Van Ness avenue and
Eilis street for blocks was a mass of fash- '
ionable vehicles not to mention the crowd
of onlookers who stood near the entrance
and pressed to the awning that reached
from the street to the door, eager to catch
a sight of those going to the hall.
"Stand aside!" was heard every few
minutes from the policemen who guarded
the entrance as some over-anxious-to-sec
urchin came too close to the carriage
doors. Inside the hail all was animation
and expectancy. Electric lights, shaded
by tinted pink globes gave asoft and be
coming clow to all the rooms. Polite
attendants showed the ladies to their
dressing-rooms, and the men were shown
to theirs the same way. From evening
■wraps to full ball costume was the work of
a few moments, when entrance to the ball
room was made. There the scene was a
beautiful one. Exquisite gowns and
jewels were seen to the best advantage
under pink lights that illuminated the
room.
A full orchestra under the leadership of j
Valentine Huber was placed on the stage \
behind a bank of tall, graceful palms and
chrysanthemums, that nearly concealed !
the musicians, but did not interfere with
the bright, catchy music, many pieces of
which only arrived from the East yester- i
daj-. Among the numbers were the popu- \
lar waltzes from the opera "Princess i
Bonnie," a greet favorite in the East, i
"The Birth of the Kose" was another
pretty waltz.
The two-step marches from "His
VIEW OF THE BALLECCH AT NATIONAL OUAKD HALL.
[Sketched by a " Call " artUL]
Majesty" and "Prince Ananias," lately
played at the Columbia Theater by the
ever popular Bostonians, and selections
from "Our Shop Girls" and other popular
plays now running in the East.
Plants were also placed along the sides
and corners of the room, and small ever
green trees, with palms and other greenery,
formed two lines on the stairway leading
to the ballroom, supper- rooms and gallery.
The rest of the building was thrown open
to the guests, the supper-room being es
pecially attractive, with its furnishings of
gold and blue drapery and hanging bas
kets of ferns. Before the ball began the
ballroom was in comparative darkness,
only a few of the electric lights burning.
Mr. and Mrs. Sprapue and Judge Wal
lace received with the debutante in the
center of the hall. Miss fSprague wore a
handsome Doucet gown, heavily embroid
ered with pearls, and Miss Cooper was in
white moire tulle, elbow sleeves with long
white gloves. The hall, an attractive one,
had been made particularly so by the skilled
handiwork of the florist, and the scene,
when filled with handsomely attired ladies
and their escorts, was a brilliant one. The
stage was a perfect mass of ferns and
chrysanthemums of varied hues. In front,
and dependent from the high ceiling was
a canopy of heavy festoons of smilax, and
in the center was a very large basket of
pink chrysanthemums* from which
dropped graceful sprays of smilax.
The entire gallery '.was a massof ferns,
among which were several cozy bowers,
which were used by the dancers and spec
tators as Jounging-piaces during the even
ing. The stationary seats of the hall were
folded up, and along the sides were
banks of ferns and potted plants.
Easy -chairs were placed in front for the
use of the dancers and on-lookers. Pen
dent from the front of the gallery were
Jarge baskets of chrysanthemums, grad
uated from the dark red in the center to
the pale hues at the ends.
The reception-rooms* of the hall were
draped with smilax and roses, and several
large parlor lamps with bright-colored
shades perfected the scene.
Clasping ncr neck was a string of pearls.
Supper was announced at midnight and
was served in the lower haii, which was
most beautifully decorated, and the ar
rangements were so perfect that all the
guests were comfortably seated at the tete
a-tete tabies. Nothing could be suggested
in the matter of decorations. The large
rooms were draped in gauze of light colors
and bunches of ferns and chrysanthemums
finished the adornments. The repast was
wan in keeping with all the other details,
as will be seen from a perusal of the menu,
which was as follows:
taunt. (
California Oysters, Half-Shell.
Consomme.
Sandwiches a la i'ocahontas.
Tlmbal of Eerevissos. Frogs ala roulette.
Terrapin a. la Maryland.
Snipe en Canope. l'resh Mushrooms.
Breast of Teal Duck. Celerj Salad.
DFSSERT.
Pudding a la Nessehode.
Cakes. Soiree Cakes.
Marron Glace. Fruit Glace.
Salt Almonds.
Coffee.
An hour was spent at the supper table,
and then the guests returned to the main
hall, where the festivities were continued
with unabated interest until after '1
o'clock, when adieus were said, and the
waiting carriages conveyed the tired but
happy participants to their respective
home?.

BIGAMIST AND FORGER
F. R. G. Mitchell Treweek Finds
Himself in an Awk
ward Fix.
Stormy Scene Between Him and His
First Wife in the City Prison
Yesterday.
A pretty little woman called at police
headquarters yesterday and introduced
herself as Mrs. Treweek, 613 Ash avenue.
She said she had read an account in The
Call of the arrest of Fred Mitchell, alias
T. J. Kowe, on suspicion of having passed
a forged check for $75 on Hackmeier's
Hotel, and thought he might be her hus
band.
Detective Seymour took her to the City
Prison, and for the first time in eight
months husband and wife looked into
each other's faces. There was a scene for
a few minutes which made Treweek, or
Mitchell, feel very uncomfortable. Mrs.
Trewet.'k insisting upon an explanation of
why he was livinc with another woman
whom he called his wife. Treweek tried
to evade a direct reply, and the angry
little woman left him with the threat that
she would learn the truth herself. And
she did.
She saw the other woman at Hack
meier's Hotel and learned from her that
her name was Violet Beck and she was
married to Treweek under the name of V.
G. Mitchell October 30 by Judge C. V.
Gottschalk, San Andreas, Calaveras
County. In confirmation of that statement
she produced a certificate of the marriage
signed by Judge Gottschalk.
Mrs. TreweeK returned to police head-
Juarters and swore out a warrant in Judge
oachimsen's court against her husband
on the charge of bigamy. They were mar
ried September 25, 1803, by Rev. J. 8.
Fisher, M. 8. church. San Rafael, and she
produced her marriage certificate. Her
maiden name was May Madeline Fair
banks and his name F. R. G. Mitchell Tre
week. He left her about eight months ago
and she had not seen or heard of him since.
The warrant was served upou Treweek by
Detective Seymour in the City Prison and
he was booked on the charge.
The police have not yet received a reply
from Joel Rowe, superintendent of the
Eureka Mill and Lumber Company, West
Point, Calaveras County, whose name was
forged to the check for $75. and until they
do so they will not charge Treweek with
forgery.
Under the name of Fred Mitchell Tre
week was sentenced in the Superior Court
here on October 4, 1890, to rive years in
San Quentin for forgery. On January 23,
1892, he was granted a new trial and
"beat" the case on a technicality.
NEVILLE'S MURDERERS.
Still at Largo, Although the Police Are
on Their Trail.
The murderers of Alfred Neville, the
carpenter, are still at iarge, but the police
are hourly in the expectation of laying
their hands upon them.
The two men are known, but they have
so far managed^ to secrete themselves.
They are believed to be in the City, and
detectives and outsiders are hot on* their
trail.
Chief Crowley yesterday handed over
the case to Captain Lees on his arrival
from Hacramento, and the captain spent
all last night with the Chief in making
himself conversant with the details of the
crime and mapping out plans for the cap
ture of the two murderers. He is hopeful
that they will not be at large many hours
longer.
In 1500 cattle were worried by dogs
before killing to tender the flesh.

A REPORTED SALE.
Story That the Evening Font Has Passed
Into Other Hands.
There was a rumor last night that a
&UTTEK-ST&iiET POWEB-HOUSE, IHxi X SHOWING WHEBE Tx±E
BODY WAS FOUND.
Washington journalist had bought the
Evening Post. A. D. Remington, who for
a long time has been interested in that
property, arrived here recently, and it was
stated in advance that when he came a
change in ownership would probably take
place.
It was said that as many as three differ
ent Dersons were figuring on the purchase.
one of whom was the Scripps' league of
papers. This league is composed of the
Scripps brothers and others, owning the
Cleveland Penny Press, the Detroit News,
St. Louis Chronicle, Los Angeles Record
and other 1-cent evening papers.
The story about the Post could not be
traced to an absolutely authentic source,
but according to one phase of it Mr.
Hume would still be connected with the
paper. The Post's circulation is said to
have considerable increased during the
past year or two.
STORM FLAGS UP.
The Signal Office Heralds a Cold Sharp
Wave Passing Down the Con
tinent.
"The sharp and sudden cold wave is
filling the great plateau lying between the
Sierras and the Rockies," said the weather
signal wires last night, and the climate
bureau has been giving warning.
Yesterday the Idaho thermometers took
a tumble to the big change, and the mer
cury marked a point close to zero. The
wave passed on south, and Utah felt the
chill of its presence. Then it reached
Arizona, where probably a light snow is
now falling.
Between the Rocky Mountains and the
Missouri River the weather glasses are
showing the proximity of the dreaded
blizzard. If a favorable change does not
quickly take place the present high wind,
cold and lignt snow now appearing in
Nebraska. Kansas and other places where
those climatic characteristics combine for
M. H. LOGAN, M.D.
business, will be taking their customary
freeze-out.
The cold wave will touch the eastern
ptrt of this State with a light frost, and in
the southern portion it will probably be
accompanied by slight rain. At Winne
mucca, >'cv., yesterday the barometer
dropped six-tenths of an inch, and in this
City about two-tenths. There will be 30
degrees of lower temperature, with a
cooler strong wind from the northwest.
"I do not anticipate an immediate in
crease of cold weather here," said Official
Observer McAdie last night, "as there
are no indications of a change and the
land is now about as cool as the sea. There
may be a slight frost to-night, but there is
no rain in sight and there will probably be
none for a week. But the falling barome
ters and thermometers east of the State in
dicate storm and cold."
WILSON'S AWFUL DEATH
Crushed in the Machinery of the
Sutter-Street Railway
Building.
He Was Caught Up by a Cable and
Whirled Around Among the
Revolving Wheels.
John Wilson, an employe of the Sutter
street Cable Railway Company, met with
a horrible death at the power-house, corner
of Poik and Slitter streets, yesterday
morning.
He was engaged as a cable-splicer, and
while occupied about the machinery his
clothes became entangled, and before Chief
Engineer Frank E. Mason could reverse
the engine he was caught up by the cable
and whirled around the wheel.
His head and lees were almost torn from
his body and his trunk was fearfully man
gle I and lacerated.
Wilson was a splicer and repairer of
/cables for a great many years. He was a
very quick and cool man, as ho had to be
in his kind of work, for it was necessary
to u,o among moving wheels and cables,
and frequently he went very close to the
rapid machinery.
In the morning he was splicing a cable,
which had become considerably worn,
and another cable caught his coat and
dragged him up on the drum and between
the winder and the rope. After his ter
ribly lacerated and torn remains had
passed over the winder it was with some
difficulty that the machinery could be re
versed. His remains fell into the pit,
fifteen feet deep, below.
Robert A.uld, an oiler, and Charles "Wei-
Jiaus, another employe, besides Engineer
Mason, witnessed his death, or, rather
they noticed the remains of the man
whining around when it was too late to
render any assistance, so sudden was his
Ifr-V 1 the ra l>idly revolving machinery
Wilson was about 40 years of age a
native of Norway and married. He lived
at 1027 a Post street. He was in the service
of the com Dan v for several years.
LANE UNDER MORE BONDS
Judge Campbell Adds $15,000 to
the Sum of $40,000 Already
Imposed.
HE WILL DEFEND WOMEN.
Six Months in Jail for Any Court
Vagrant Who Insults the
Ladies.
Teter F. Lane will have to produce
$15,000 bail in addition to the $-40,000 al
ready insisted upon by the court in the
cases of the littie girls who allege they
had been abused by him.
Judge Campbell had little trouble yester
day in arriving at a conclusion. The wit
nesses told their stories in a straight-for
ward way, and the attorneys for the de
fendant, Lane, did not interpose objections
so frequently as before. The prosecuting
witness was Emma Bradhoff.
Augustina Parritt also testified and sub
stantially corroborated the evidence of the
prosecuting witness.
"Do you know the defendant, Lane?"
asked Judge Campbell.
"Yes, that's him," pointing to the de
fendant.
Lane dropped hi 3 head and covered his
ice with his hand.
The witness said she had cried:
"Shame! shame!" at him.
Certain testimony was admitted by
stipulation as applying to the case, and
the Judge was very careful to so word the
stipulation that no advantage could be
taken by the lawyers.
The other case will be taken up this
afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Judge Campbell proposes to defend the
women who attend the trial cf Captain
Lane from insult by loafers who assemble
there to hear the sickening evidence in the
case.
Every day two or more ladies, members
of the W. C. T. TJ., are in court. These at
tendants are occasionally subjected to un
complimentary remarks, and one, a promi
nent worker on sociai purity, has been
singled out by hangers-on as a special ob
ject of indecent comment. She has borne
the annoyance uncomplainingly for several
days, but at the close of court she told her
trouble to the Judge.
"I have wanted to slap him," she said,
"but did not know what the penalty
would be. It" my temper gets the better of
me some day will you send me to jail?"
"Send you to jail, madam!" said the
Judge. "I would stop court proceedings
to give three cheers. Then I would send
the fellow up for six months. Point him
out next time and I'll show you what I
will do.''
The lady promised if the well-dressed
fellow repeat his insult he will nnd Judge
Campbell a gallant defender of the women.
Just then Captain O'Rourke passed the
group, which comprised a detective be
sides the ladies, and said to the former:
"If Mrs. Fr;-nch and these ladies will
be of any service to you in your search
-.yon may take them with you."
Evidently the detective thought their
