FOR MURDER.
Tlio Golden Gate Club Outfit Is
Arraigned.
la Sue and His Accomplices Appear in the
Police Court Dock for Their Pre
liminary Examination.
Police Court 1 was crowded from the
Judge's bench to the door at '2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon when the case of Frank
La Kue, charged with the murder of Henry
Mclltiilc in the Golden Gate Athletic Club
while lighting about a woman about two
weeks ago, was called for a preliminary
bearing before Judge Rix.
.Not only was the court-room uncom
fortably filled, but the curious throng inter
ested in fighting and slogging extended
outside and blockaded the corridors.
In the crowd might be seen faces of cheap
prize-fighters, hangers-on of slogging circles
and numerous loafers who somehow man
age to live and wear diamonds.
The prisoners sat in the dock, but their
co-defendant, Jamison, Secretary of the
club, who is out on bail of $15.. took a
chair in the front row of seats aud looked
around him with a pleasant countenance,
wholly unconcerned and not in the least
like a man with the serif charge of mur
der hanging over his head.
Attorney Joseph F. Coffey appeared for
the defendants, with the exception of La
Rue, who wss represented by Mr. Ashe.
Both attorneys for the defense objected
strenuously to the complaints, which were
sworn to by i lice officers who did not see
the alleged homicide committed.
The following defendants were then ar
raigned: Frank La Rue, Bernard Meyers,
J. J. Jamison, Joe Bowers, George Liddle,
F. McGrath and J. Jewell.
La Hue's attorney again made a deter
mined fight against admitting the com
plaint, which he claimed was defective and
fa tt
PraiJc Lit 7: '.
nnintelligible, as Officer Yideau had sworn
to the charge of murder against La Rue on
information aud belief. The Court would
not consider the counsel's motion, and ruled
in favor of the complaints as they stood.
LEGAL OBJECTIONS.
Attorney Joseph Coffey was not willing
to have his clients tried cojointly with La
Rue. He wanted a segregation.
Prosecuting Attorney Dunne recom
mended a refusal 1 1 the demand for a seg
regation, for if La Rue, who is the princi
pal in the tragedy, was guilty the others
were guilty, and if he was innocent they
were innocent
Coffey objected on the ground that the
liability of his client- could not be meas
ured by that of La Rue, who. in the attor
ney's opinion, might be guilty, while his
clients were innocent.
The Judge ordered that the preliminary
examination should proceed.
John A. Steinbach, the Market-street
jeweler and President of the club, was the
first witness called by the prosecution. He
knew Jamison, who has been Secretary of
the club since its organization.
L. G. Flanagan, dealer in hay and grain,
corner of Eighteenth and Folsom streets,
testified that he is a member of the Golden
Gate Club and Vice-President of the or
ganization. Ho went to the club on the
night of June 9th at 1) o'clock, when Mc-
Bride was there and the fatal fight began.
He also saw La Rue, Jamison and Joe
Bowers in the club at the same time, lie
knew that there was to have been a contest
there that night from Jamison, who said,
"There are some boys going un the floor."
The witness described the dress worn by-
La Rue and Mcßride when they appeared
en the floor to fight out their love affair
with gloves. They wore the scanty apparel
of fighters, yet the participants were awk
ward novices in sparring. He saw them
strike blows at each other and Mcßride
bleed from the nose. When told that the
fight was about to take place, earlier in the
evening, lie asked, "is that another of
Frank Jones' rackets?"
HE KXEW _SOTHI>*G.
"This is a private club?" asked Attorney
Coffey in cross-examination for the defense.
Witness did not know, nor was he cer
tain that it was incorporated. At least he
had never read its constitution and by
laws.
"Do you know anything about written
rules of the club?" the Judge asked.
"No, sir; 1 do not."
"Then you don't know anything about it
— whether there are printed rules or not?"
"No. sir."
Flanagan could not say whether It was a
private or public club. His understanding
of it was that the club was a place for phy
sical culture. Peter Jackson was present
at the fight, but witness never heard him or
any other spectator hiss and cry, "Shame:
shame!" during the contest.
Colonel A. Andrews, proprietor of the
Diamond Palace on Montgomery street,
testified that he saw the contest. Ha got
there about 10 o'clock and saw the two
men Vexing, but paid less attention to them
than to the second of one boxer. La Rue
seemed to act like a man who was crazy or
drunk, for Mcßrlde would catch him in his
arm and punch him until "he grew tired.
Meanwhile La Rue would almost break his
sides laughing. The men fought like old
women. When the Colonel saw ilcßiide
fall he left the club.
"Did any one in the audience protest or
ask to stop the fight?"
"Well, I heard some of the prize-fighters
present say it should be stopped, as the
whole thing was a farce and the men should
not be allowed to fight."
LIKE HENS SCRATCHING.
Both men laughed every time they came
up to spar. But they struck some powerful
blows. They were tired out and sometimes
La Rue would strike a blow so light that it
seemed as if it would not hurt a fly.
ills opinion of the blows was stricken out
by consent of both sides.
Deceased fell against a post, striking the
right side of his head. The fa!; was from
exhaustion. It was not a knock-out blow
from La Rue that caused the fall.
Cross-examined the Colonel said he had
seen many a glove-contest during the last
twenty years in other clubs, but this was
by no means the most severe oue of these
contests.
George L. Fish, wholesale grocer, Oak
land, was present at the fight, in company
with Colonel Andrews and other gentlemen
from the California Athletic Club. He and
'■::•. lends went to take a drink, and they
saw two men "jumping around in an open
space and a lot of men standing around."
The fight was "like a couple of old hens
scratching." Witness paid little attention
to the fight, but spoke to a few friends who
■were present, and then went away.
The examination was continued until -
o'clock this afternoon.
A BATCH OF MEW LAWYERS.
Thirteen Graduated at the lla-tlii C a Col
lege.
Thirteen young men were graduated at
the Hastings College of the Law. A speech
was made by Hon. M. M. Estee, who coun
seled them to be patient and work hard.
"You often hear that there are too many
lawyers. Do not believe it," he said, "for
there can never be too many in a free coun
try. In lands where there is not liberty
they have no use for lawyers. You know
Peter the Great said he had but one lawyer

affairs, was reduced to $1000.
An assessment of $2000 against Patrick J.
Daly of 'Mi Capp street was stricken off the
roll on. the ground that it is an error. Sim
ilar action was taken upon an application
of Mrs. Dr. MacLenuan, whose assessment
was reduced from $400 to $200.
A. 11. Phelps, agent for the Hazard Pow
der Company, asked to nave au assessment
on the franchise of that corporation of
$1000 stricken from the roll. Ho claimed
that the company lias no franchise in this
State. This position was controverted by
Assessor Xealon, who claimed that the
company l- doing business in this State
through its agent, and, therefore, has a
lraucliise under the rule laid down in the
Western Union case. The board refused to
strike the assessment off by a vote of - to 0.
J. M. Shotwell, manager of the Califor
nia Safe Deposit Company, asked to have
the assessment on the franchise of that
corporation reduced from $40,000 to $5000,
and instanced the oases of other banks,
among which Is Wells, Fargo & Co.'s bank,
which is assessed on its franchise for $500.
lie said the Safe Deposit Company does a
small hanking business in connection with
the safe deposit. After discussing the mat

the reduction.
The assessment on a schooner belonging
to Bender Bios, was. reduced from $5000
to $4000.

-1 quest
Applications to cancel the assessments
against the Alameda Building and Loan
Association and the Homestead Building
\ and Loan Association were denied.
The question of the franchises of the
' various banks in the city next came up.
i Assessor Xealon suggested that the fran
chises of the banks he fixed at SSCOO each.
The motion made to this effect was with
drawn, as tl i re was no tune left in which
to serve notice on the banks and await
their action.
Assessor Xealon said he would enter a
raise of all the franchises referred to as a
clerical error, which he could do by and
with the consent of the City and County
i Attorney.
On motion of Mr. Becker, the assessment
i of the London and San Francisco Bank was
reduced from $10,000 to $5000, which will
make the assessments uniform, except the
Pacific Bunk.
The board then adopted a resolution au
thorizing the clerk to make corrections in
assessments cine to clerical errors on state

SOME SOLID MOSEY.
The Kind They I »il in Finland One
Hundred null Fifty Years Ajco.
J. E. Saari returned yesterday from a ten
months' visit to Finland, more convinced
than ever of the advantage of living under
the Stars and Snipes, where the utmost
freedom is allowed the individual. Be finds
that the autonomy of Finland is sadly in
terfered witty and that that country is fast
passing under the dread domination of the
Czar of Russia, to an extent that makes
Finland as much of a dependency on his
royal whim as Poland, or any other of the
countries tyrannized over by the Russian
bear.
Among other curiosities that he secured
at Helsingfors during his sojourn at the
Finnish capital, was a specimen of Finnish
money, such as was used when Finland was
a dependency ol Sweden, a century and a
half ago. It is a veritable curio, and there
is probably nothing like it west of the
Rocky Mountains, it is a rectangular sheet
of copper, rudely hammered, ami Is about
eight inches square and a quarter of an inch
in thickness. It is stamped with the
Swedish iniut mark in the center, and. on
each corner. It weighs six and a quarter
pounds and was coined in 1740. It was
worth $S HO, ad would be redeemed at
that valuation to-day. As a curiosity, how
ever, it is worth ten times that amount.
Money must have been money, those
days, and no foolishness about it. To
carry 810 around would tire a man out, and
it he was a millionaire, ahd actually owned
SI" 1 all at une time, and wanted to move it,
he would have to hire all the horses in
town to carry it "IT. Thieves didn't stand
much show in Finland in those days, ana
people of wealth were solid in every sense
of the word. The copper piece is worth
seeing.— Daily Astorian, June 20th.

BLYTHE'S MARRIAGE.
Inconsistency of the Millionaire
During His Life.
He Always Endeavored to Deceive His Friends
to Prevent Meddling With His
Private Affairs.
L. E. Bulkeley, representing the Savages
of London in the Blythe contest, delivered
his argument yesterday in reply to E. D.
Wheeler, counsel lor the widow.
He opened by stating that Alice Edith is
the personification of trickery and deceit,
to which Mr. Wheeler objected. Aft3r a
short dialogue between the widow's counsel
and the speaker the latter continued his
attack upon the claim of Alice Edith to the
estate, and referred to the inconsistency
displayed by Blythe throughout his life,
rendering impossible the securing of any
proof of the manner in which he intended
to dispose of his wealth.
As to Mr. Foote's declaration, " As God
is my judge, I believe the widow has de
stroyed the will and the adoption paper,"
Mr. Bulkeley said: "As James V. Coffey
is our Judge I do not believe such a will or
adoption paper existed." Blythe tried to
deceive his friends that he might prevent
them meddling with his affairs, and it is in
conceivable that he made a will or executed
an adoption paper.
If lie had he would have placed the docu
ments in his box in the Safe Deposit Build
ing, where ho had deposited his lease.
Blythe had too much experience with
women of the Nellie Fiimin character to
leave any valuable papers where unscrupu
lous associates could get at them.
NO SENTIMENT IN THE * ASK.
Taking up the question of the marriage
contract of I*7B. Mr. Bulkeley asserted that
never on earth had there been such a pre
tense of marriage as that one. If it were to
be considered legal it would place every
man at the mercy of a mistress. There has
been no sentiment iv this case on the part
of the claimants, nor has any sanctity been
evidenced in the associations of Blythe with
Alice Edith or Julia Ashcroft.
"These two women have thrust themselves
forward to defraud blood relations, for 1
am convinced that Julia Ashcroft has but
one desire, aud that is to feather her
own nest. There is nothing unusual in
this, considering the number of people in
this State who are living in luxury upon
wealth which they obtained in a manner
that would consign others to the prisons.
" We have all heard," he smilingly said,
" that Alice Edith was kind and dutiful to
Blythe, even to mashing his Chinaman
with a skillet, but that duty was performed
for a most unscrupulous and designing
motive. Mr. Foote said I was asleep when
the letters to aud from Blythe were being
read.
" Why shouldn't 1 have slept when I
knew that Blythe had no filial affection for
Florence? He did not recognize her until
she was 8 years of age, and he never scut
her even a Christinas card. My jovial
friend. Dr. Taylor, also says I was asleep.
Let me tell him that be should not judge a
watch-dog by his sleeping or a strumpet
by her weeping.
HISTORICAL WOMEN".
"Great stress has been placed on the fact
that Blythe died in toe arms of Alice Edith.
Aye, so did Sampson die in the arms of
Delilah, and Antony in the arms of Cleo
patra, but these hlstoiical women did not
claim wifehood with the victims. Mr.
\\ heeler said the other claimants are seek
ing to reap where they have not sown.
"What did Julia Ashcrolt or Alice Edith
sow? Nut a button! They have sown
tile wind, and why should they not reap
the whirlwind? Alice Edith went to
Wythe's office to catch him. She exhibited
her foot and he praised it. That day they
commenced an intimate friendship. You
may dish a statement of the affair as you
please, but you cannot take away the sense
of the transaction.
"She was no chicken. She had been mar
ried and had lived among men in Arizona
and other rough places. Julia Ashctuft had
a similar friendship with Blythe. Alice
Edith shows that the laid plans from the
first time she met Blythe to set up a claim
to his wealth. She had articles sent from
the market to the address of Mrs. Blythe,
but she took good can: Blythe did not know
it, thus sweeping away the evidence that
she was his wife.
'•Such little details "interpose like moun
tains between her claim and the estate.
On November 20, 1882, she wrote in the
diary in blythe's office, 'Took care of office.
Dickasou.' This is conclusive evidence
that she was not Blythe's wife. Every act
of Blvthe up to the time of his death Shows
that lie had no desire to marry any woman.
NO DESIRE TO MAURY.
"lie spoke of Alice Edith as Miss Dicka
sou at the period wheu she asserts lie had
married her. It is beyond human belief
that a real wife would permit such a slight.
A mouth before his death he wrote refer
ring to her as Miss Dickasou. If she was
married in 1882 she was married in IS7S,
and if not she is out of court.
"Blythe told friends that he could not
marry under the name .of Blythe, as It
would not be legal. He thus proved his
name was not Blythe. All of the evidence
given by Alice Edith was of the Mrs.
Potiphar and Joseph kind. She testified
that she kept the marriage secret until
alter Blythe s death because he so wished
it. And yet she has brought several wit
nesses to prove that Blythe acknowledged
her as his wife after the alleged contract
had been made. It is enough to sicken a
cat. and shows the utter fallacy of her
claim." .
Timothy J. Lyons and W. 11. 11. Hart
also concluded their arguments yesterday
iv response to E. D. heeler, counsel for
the widow.

bought for himself a palatial home in St.
Louis, anil here he writes the books which
are amassing for him a large fortune.
A lew years ago he conceived the idea of

than a review of the scenes and incidents
of the Bible, it was published by sub
scription, having for a preface a letter by
the Bey. T. de Witt Talmage, and the
sales were unprecedented in the history of
literature. More copies were sold of it
than nf General Grant's "Personal Me

ALONU THE RAIL.
Questions for the Const Railway Con-
vent ion.
Next Wednesday the Coast Railway Con
vention will meet in San Jose. The delib
erations of this body will be held iv the
Hotel Vendome and Elwood Cooper of
Santa Barbara will call the meeting to
order. It is said that two propositions will
be considered by the convention.
Whether to aid the Southern Pacific tc
close the gap between Santa Margarita and
Elwood, a distance of about 100 miles, or to
make arrangements for the construction of
an independent lino of about 450 miles, will
be the starting point of the discussion.
According to some the gap referred to
would have been closed two years ago had
the people of San Luis Obispo played their
part faithfully. Others say l hat Mr. Hunt
ington has not kept his promise in the mat
ter and that the Southern Pacific Company
are wholly at lault.
The Santa Barbara Press says regarding
the convention: The call for the conven
tion is very broad and contemplates a full
discussion ol all means whereby the coun
ties can be benefited by railway construc
tion. The gap In the coast line of thoSouih
ern Pacific Company will only be filled, as
stated by President Huntington, when free
right of "way is offered, and this convention
may succeed in procuring that. If such ac
tion can be taken that a competing trans
continental lino can also be secured the
work of such a convention will have been
doubly well done. We look for important
results from the deliberations of such a
body of men representing the ten counties
most vitally interested, and we hope the
matter will be energetically taken hold of
by all the counties. No harm can come
from a convention representing a people
wide awake to their own needs and de
termined to advancs their host in'.erests,
and it can, and we believe will, do a world
of good.
Secretary Lansing of the Southern Pacific
Company yesterday issued a circular offi
cially incorporating the auditing department
of the Coast division into the general sys
tem. The circular reads as follows:
The oflico of Auditor of Coast division and
South Pacific Coast Railroad division of this

from Thursday until Monday, and are
untile uniform to any point within 160
miles. In this arrangement the Coast divi

reduction will be given on this division the
single-fare rule will not apply.
An agent of the Pacific Improvement
Company has been sent to inspect the cross
cut line of the Southern Pacific Company,
running between Knights Lauding and
Yuba City, which is rei orted in a very bad
condition owing to the Hoods. Trestles

others the track has been displaced for
some miles.
S. A. Mills has been transferred to the

San Francisco.
Sac-Scorched Hill»-Exce!leat Smslt-Fith.ng
at Hunter's Point -Thj Police as Con
fidential Advisors.
While South San Francisco possesses
many advantages for business pursuits, it
can at no time be even called ordinarily
picturesque; and at this season of the year
particularly the surrounding scenery is very
dreary looking. The hills that surround it,
which in the rainy season are covered with
a profuse grassy growth, are now so
scorched and burned brown by the sun
that the eye is actually pained by the sight.
Yet, over these hills large flocks of sheep,
many cows and Innumerable goats and
fowls of all sorts pasture daily, and the
wouder is how they manage to exist on the
sparse sustenance afforded. But perhaps
the sand and rocks of the hills are of more
life-giving power than is generally sup
posed, for the animals, though not exactly
killing fat, look to bo in fair condition.
The store-keepers of the district are com
plaining loudly of the lack of business, and
.say that the present season is the dullest
they have ever experienced. .
Tin; LINK MUST BE DRAWN.
While not exactly worked to death in
making arrests and such other police work,
the officers stationed at South San Francisco
are frequently kept very busy in straight
ening out differences that will happen even
in the best regulated families, and hardly
an hour passes that either the head of the
family or the head's better half does not visit
the station to ask for advice, which is freely
kept on tap. Some of the troubles laid be
fore the 6fficials are utterly foreign to po
lice matters, but still the officers do their
best to please their customers. They are,
however, thinking of setting some limit, as
the ladies of the district are now in the
habit of consulting them as to whether
they shall have their new dresses cut en
princess or in the last Paris fin de siecle
style. Advice as to when to kill the pig or
if it is proper to have Johnnies hair cut
before the full moon is, of course, just what
a South San Francisco police officer likes to
give, but when it comes to ladies' fashions
a line must, and will in the future, be
drawn.
FISHING AND HUNTING.
Most excellent fishing is now being had at
Hunter's Point, and every day for some
three hours while the tide serves great
catches are being made of smelt and perch.
Some of the fishermen catch more than they
can carry, and on Sunday last one lucky
disciple of l/.aak Walton caught to one rod
263 line smelt, which averaged fully a half
pound each. If the fishermen havo it all
their own way the gunners are feeling quite
chill, for outside of goats and tame geese
and ducks there is nothing in the district
that they can shoot, every feathered wild
thing seeming to have left for good.
Although the district boasts of owning
some of the best bred and gamest fighting
roosters on the Coast, no mains are reported
in prospect, though on Sunday, far out on
the San Bruno road, a chicken dispute be
tween the Oakland and San Jose fanciers
was decided.
LOST HIS RIGHT EYE.
Joseph Beiu, an employe of the South
San Francisco Glue Works, who was shot
last Tuesday on Sixth avenue by Peter
Welling, another employe, and who is now
laid up in the City and County Hospital, is
reported out of danger, though lie lias lost
his right eye from some of the bird-shot
fired at him by Welling destroying the eye.
It was so badly injured that it had to be
taken out of the socket. Hem will be kept
in the hospital for another week. Well
ing's examination in the Police Court is set
[or this morning. No cause for the shoot
ing has yet been ascertained, and both men
are exceedingly reticent about the matter.
Real estate matters are very quiet at pres
ent ami no sale or proposed deals are noted.
The minister of the Congregational Church
at South San Francisco is building a hand
some large new residence on Eighteenth
and Railroad avenues. Miss M. Kosekamps
is putting up a fine millinery store on Kail
road avenue.
The movement to provide watering carts
to lay the dust on the main streets has not
yet assumed definite shape.
ALL vi ii: IN RUTCHEItTOWN.
In Butchertown no matters of interest
outside the usual routine business are re
ported. Tne slaughtering Is about as large
as is usual at this time of the year. All the
buildings destroyed or damaged by the late
fire have been rebuilt, with the exception of
Lux & Miller's large barns, and this is about
the only indication to some that Butchertown
will soon be moved to tho proposed new lo
cation nt Sierra Point.
There is discontent in South San Fran
cisco juvenile circles over the fact that the
police have notified all store-keepers that
they will not be allowed to handle fireworks
for the coming Fourth of July unless they
first obtain a permit to do S3 aud take out
the necessary sale license.
Residents of South San Francisco and also
the police were delighted that from some
happy cause or other the usual hoodlum pic
nic at the park was omitted last Sunday.
But they await with anxiety the coming of
next Sunday, when a grand cake walk,
prize dance aud free boer tug-of- war will be
decided.
MUST BRING SUIT.
Title to School Lands Cannot lie RecoT
. i til on Motion.
The Supreme Court yesterday rendered a
decision in the case of the People against
Harrison that will affect the litigation over
many acres of land in California.
Years ago many purchasers of school
lands allowed their titles to lapse, through
not complying with all the conditions of
tho purchase. Suit was brought in each
case, and, while the claimant of the land
whs out of the county, summons was by
publication instead of personal service. In
each case the title was declared to be for
feited.
A recent decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States held that the title to
land cannot be lost except by a suit in which
personal service is had. Under this de
cision, people who were dispossessed of
their lauds in cases where personal service
on them was not had, instituted proceedings
to recover them; but, instead of commencing
an action in regular form, proceeded by a
motion asking that they bo reinstated in
the title to the lands.
In the above ease, and several similar
ones decided at the same time, the Supreme
Court held that the only way to recover the
title is by suit in proper form and after a
trial.
