BELMONT WON
THE SUBURBAN,
Henry of Navarre Was
First in the Classic
Event.
THE COMMONER SECOND.
Clifford Was an Odds-on Favorite,
but Could Only Finish
Third.
THE WEBTERNER A SURPRISE.
Griffin Rode a Good Race and Navarre
Won Rather Easily at
the End.
SHEEPSHEAD BAY. N. V., June 23.—
Henry of Navarre demonstrated once
more his right to the title, "King of the
Turf," by winning the thirteenth sub
urban handicap at Sheepshead Bay to
day. His victory was well earned, as he
beat some of the best horses in training.
The mighty Clifford was among the
vanquished to-day. Clifford was favorite.
This was largely due to the fact that Taral
had the mount on him. Clifford was also
favorite for the Brooklyn handicap, and
was beaten by Sir Walter in a very close
tinish. Taral's superior jockeyship, every
one said, defeated Clifford then. Clayton,
who rode him in the Brooklyn handicap,
got the blame for Clifford's failure to make
his run until too late. Taral was engaged
to ride him in to-day's great race, and
every one said he would do better with a
stronger jockey than Clayton on bis back.
Clifford, however, did not do as well for
Taral as he did for Clayton. He was not
once dangerous or prominent. The Com
moner, with Clayton up, was the contend
ing horse at the finish. He it was that
forced his former stable companion, Henry
of Navarre, to a cruel drive to hold his
own. Clifford had all his work cut out to
finish ahead of Belmar, Hornpipe, Sir
Walter and NankiDOoh, who were all in
hopeless difficulties a couple of furlongs
from home.
The start for the great race wai prompt
and good. Belmar was the stirst to break
the even line, but he quickly yielded the
post of honor to Hornpipe. jAt the upper
turn Hornpipe took a commandine lead,
but was joined by The Commoner as they
swung into the back stretdh. This pair
then had a good streak of daylight be
tween them and Henry of Navarre, who
was the most forward of the others. There
was but little change in the order until
they reached the old clubhouse turn.
There Henry of Navarre joined the lead
ers and the others also moved up.
They swung into the homestretch with
The Commoner in command, lapped to
the throatlatch by Henry of Navarre, who
had Hornpipe and Clifford at his withers.
The weight and pace had begun to tell on
Sir Walter and he dropped back to keep
Nankipooh company.
When they were straightened out for
home Hamilton went to work like a fiend
on Hornpipe. The son of Mr. Pickwick
and Round Dance responded with such a
wonderful burst of speed that the cry
"Hornpipe Wins" rang throughout the
stand. Griffin, however, still had a tight
hold of Henry of Navarre. Hornpipe
got half a length ahead of him, but Griffin
evidently did not fear him. He sat mo
tionless and kept his grip on Henry's
head until the sixteenth post had been
pasied. Clayton then made a bold bid for
victory on The Commoner. Hornpipe had
given up the struggle and Henry ap
peared to have but Clifford to beat. The
latter was running tluggishly on the out
side and urge him as Taral would and did
he failed to get enough speed out of him
to force Henry of Navarre to a drive.
The Commoner put a new element of
danger in the race so far as Henry of Na
varre was concerned. His challenge was so
persistent and well-timed that he had
headed Henry before Griffin realized that
in The Commoner he had a foeman worthy
of his steel. Only once did the lash de
scend upon Henry's heaving flanks. That
was enough. He knew he was required to
do his best and with the ?ame dauntless
courage that has marked his entire career
he put his best energies forth and won by
a length. The Commoner, the good thing
from the West that had been so carefully
bottled up, had to be content with place
honors. These he secured from Clifford by
half a length.
The victory of Henry of Navarre was re
ceived with cheers. The day was a good

ELECTIONS IN CANADA.
The Liberals Have Secured a
Clear Majority in the
House.
Overthrow of the Conservative Gov
ernment Lei by Sir Charles
Tupper.
TORONTO, Ontario, June 23.— The gen
eral election for the Dominion Parliament
took place throughout the Dominion to
day and the contest was probably the most
hotly contested and in some respects the
most bitter in the history of Canada. The
result is the complete overthrow of the
Conservative Government, led by Sir
Charles Tupper.
While the tariff question was the most
important issue of the campaign the
Manitoba school question aroused a
greater degree oi enthusiasm and excite
ment, and a leading feature in the election
was the double-headed policy of the Con
servative party on that question. Many
Conservatives ran as supporters of the
Government on all questions except as re
gards its present Manitoba remedial legis
lation. Three Cabinet Ministers in the
Tupper Government were defeated, viz.:
Hon. A. R. Dickey, Minister of Justice;
Hon. L. O. Taillon, Postmaster-General,
and Hon. A. des Jardines, Minister of
Public Works.
Hon. Wilfred Laurier, the Liberal leader,
was elected for two constituencies. Dalton
McCarthy, leader of the Independents,
was also elected for two constituencies.
Hon. Joseph Martin, a leading Liberal
and author of the Manitoba scnool law,
was defeated in Winnipeg by Hugh J. Mac-
Donaid, son of the late Sir John Mac-
Donald.
Hon. Peter White, Speaker of the House
of Commons, and Hon. A. B. Angers, ex-
Minister of Agriculture from the Macken
zie-Bowell Cabinet, was defeated. Hon.
David Mills, ex-Minister of the Interior in
Alexander Mackenzie's Cabinet, was also
defeated.
The vote at midnight stands: Liberals
111, Conservatives 79, Independents 8,
Patrons 4. There are still eleven con
stituencies to hear from, but it is conceded
that Laurier, Liberal leader, will, on the
assemblying of the House, have a clean
majority of 68, irrespective of the Inde
pendents and Patrons. There was much
excitement throughout the country, but
the voting passed off quietly.
Hot Election in Manitoba.
WINNIPEG, Man., June 23.— The Win
nipeg election fought out here to-day be
tween Hon. Joseph Martin, Liberal, and
Hon. Hugh John McDonald, Conserva
tive, was without doubt the hottest ever
contested in Canada. The excitement was
intense, no such scenes having been wit
nessed here before. The issue was the
Manitoba national school policy. Mc-
Donald was successful. He defeated the
Liberal candidate by a majority of 126.
Joseph I'restwich Jtead.
LONDON, Eng., June 23.— Joseph Prest
wich, D.C.L., F.K.S., the celebrated Eng
lish geologist and author, is dead. He
was 84 years old.
THE SAN FRANCISCO' CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1896.
GEN, CAMPBELL
BECOMES INSANE,
The Great Prohibitionist
Committed to an
Asylum.
HE WAS VERY VIOLENT.
Strayed From Home While Un
balanced and Wandered
Many Miles.
RAN AMUCK ON THE STREET.
Sad Scene in the Courtroom When He
Was Examined as to His
Sanity.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 23.— General
A. B. Campbell, the Republican orator
and politician, became violently insane
last evening and had to be locked in a
padded cell. He has been suffering for
some days past from inflammation of the
brain and has been acting queeily, but
last evening gave the first indication that
his trouble was likely to prove serious.
He became very violent on Spring street,
attempted to kill several persons who ap
proached him and rushed down the street
yelling at the top of his voice. Nothing
could be done to quiet him, so he was
taken in charge by the authorities. He
fought desperately at the County Jail,
yelled as loudly as he could, and even at
tempted to do himself bodily injury. It
was necessary to put the cuffs on his
hands to secure him.
On Sunday last General Campbell wan
dered from the city while temporarily un
balanced and when.he partially recovered
it was to find himself in the town of Al
hambra, ten miles from here.
To-day he was committed to the asylum
at Highlands. There is a lingering hope
that he may recover in come degree his
lost mentality and be restored to his many
friends in condition to resume his place in
the community, but the basis of such a
hope is meager indeed.
This splendid man of yesterday pre
sented a pitiable spectacle this forenoon
when brought into court, manacled, for
the examination. He had ceased his
paroxysms of grief and rage and was quiet
and self-possessed. He fully understood
his sorrowful plight and with grave de
meanor asked permission to make a state
ment in his own behalf and answer the
usual questions. Judge Smith, evidently !
affected by the scene before him, indulged ■
the orator.
The general, with perfect coolness and
in hia choicest English, explained that his
father had been subject to fits of melan
cholia and had died when so affected at
the age of 63.
Dr. Tuttle testified that he had gone to
the house of Mr. Young in Alhambra in
response to a telephone message on Sun
day night and found General Campbell in
his nightshirt raving violently. He
brought him back to reason after giving
him some bromide. The doctor also testi
fied to several other attacks of violence
which had overcome his patient on subse
quent occasions.
The general then cross-examined the
witness ably and wound up by asking him
if he believed him insane. The answer
was "Yes, sir," upon which the cross
examiner replied that that was what he
wanted to know.
Then General Campbell went into a dis
se:tation on spiritual control, under which
he claims to have acted for the last six
months. Spirits, he said, wrote his corre- '
spondence and did ail his work for him. !
He could bring the faces of his familiar
spirits before his audience. If he could do
that, the court would be convinced that
he was not insane. If he could not he
was crazy.
The case excited great interest and the
courtroom was full of people. Judge
Vandyke came in early during the exam
ination, sat with Judge Smith and listened
with great attention to General Campbell's
talk.
While telling his story the general tried
to hypnotize Dr. Ainsworth, one of the
medical examiners, and seemed quite dis
appointed that he did not succeed. There
being no doubt about Campbell's lunacy,
he was ordered to Highlands. The cer
tificate was signed by Drs. Ainsworth,
Cochrane and Brainerd.
General Campbell came here from
Kansas and was a prohibition advocate.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Rights and Privilege* of Benevolent So-
cieties Hrflned.
LOS ANGELES, Cat,., June 23.— Judee
Shaw of the Superior Court handed down
an important decision this forenoon touch
ing the rights and privileges of benevolent
societies. The case which brought forth
this decision was that of Brun against the
board of directors of Societe Francaise
Mutuelle. Brun claimed > that the late
election of the board was illegal and caused
a recount in court, which, however, did
not affect the result as returned by the
canvassing board of the society. Brun
contended that votes had been accepted
which, by the terms of the by-laws, should
have been rejected for non-payment of
dues after two months. The court held
that, if after two months the society ac
cepted back dues, it forfeited its right to
exclude, notwithstanding the stipulation
of the by-laws. The decision concluded as
follows:
"This custom, so long continued and
wed known, would have the effect to
change, or rather destroy, the by-laws,
even if they were couched in language
strong and explicit enough to cause for
feiture without notic« or official declara
tion. Such lont'-continued practice oper
ates as an estoppel against the society.
Findings will be made tor the defendants."
PASTOR ROWARDS STANDING.
Los Angeles Presbytery Takes His Case
Under Con si-deration.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 23. — It
seems that the insubordination case of
Rev. Burt Estes Howard, late pastor of
the Westminster Presbyterian Church
here, which was voted out of existence by
the General Assembly recently at Saratoga,
N. V., has not been fully disposed of; or,
rather, Rev. Mr. Howard is about to be
given a rehearing. In view of this the
Los Angeles Presbytery, which met at
Immanuel Church this afternoon, has the
matter under consideration.
About fifty ministers and a large num
ber of the congregation was present.
L. F. Laverty, the moderator, opened the
session with payer. P. D. Young, who
acted as secretary, r ad the official report
of the General Assembly, sustaining the
action of the synod in regard to Rev. Burt
Estes Howard, with explanatory notes.
A committee to draft minutes with refer
ence to the report was appointed as
follows: A. Barker. N. H. G. Fife, A. A.
Dinsruore.
The reports, which were presented at the
congregational meeting of the First Pres
byterian Church on the night of June 17,
were read and J. H. Stewart, Robert
Strong, Rev. Mr. Hartley and Eiders Con
ger and Yates were appointed as a com
mittee to consider the letter written by
Rev. Burt Estes Howard ana report a res
olution.
SPIRITUALISTS AROUSED.
Professor Alexander's Alleged Expose
Results in a Challenge.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 23.— A gen
tleman calling himself Professor Alexan
der has succeeded in drawing upon himself
the animosity of the spiritualists oi this
city.
Alexander arrived about ten days ago
and advertised that he would outdo "all
the tricks of all the mediums under the
sun." His alleged expose came off last
Thursday evening to a crowded house, and
judging irom hisses and catcalls, which
many of his tricks brought forth, a large
proportion of those present must have
been spirituals.
Alexander was very much annoyed at
such treatment, and expr.-ssed himself in i
language more emphatic taan polite re
garding the local followers of the occult.
Two days afterward Professor Tatuni,
from among the spiritualists, issued a
spirited challenge to Alexander to meet
tne challenger in the fiercest of "occult"
combats on the platform. Professor Alex
ander comes back at the unbeliever in
spooks and hobgoblins, naming Burbank
Theater as the place for the "showdown."
Alexander not only shows his willingness
for a contest for points, but declares In his
reply to the spookist that he will forfeit
$10 to any charitable institution in Los
Angeles if he cannot duplicate all the
"tricKs" of the spiritualists and go them
several better.
I. Os A.yGf:i.i.s re for mi:it s .
City Fathers l'ttttioned to Close llusi
»!»•»« Houses on Sunday.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 23.— From
time immemorial it has been the custom
of certain tradespeople in Los Angeles to
keep their places of business open a por
tion of every Sunday. Others of the busi
ness men have been willing to close on
Sundays, but could not be at the disad
vantage of permitting their competitors to
gather in all the Sunday dimes. Much
against their will they have met this Sun
day competition by doing business on the
Sabbath themselves.
Messrs. Tate and Booth appeared before
the council to-day bearing a monster pe
tition, bound in book form and entitled' as
follows: "Petition to the Hon. Mayor
and City Council of the city of Los An
geles, for an ordinance prohibiting the
keeping open on Sunday of all mercantile
business, etc." This petition is indorsed
by the Los Angeles Council of Labor, the
Retail Clerks' Association, the Plasterers'
Association, the LO3 Angeles Council of
Building Trades, the Barbers Association
and 8370 voters and taxpayers of the city.
The laboring men are behind the peti
tion and have been at work upon it for the
past two months. They claim that not a
single name was taken that did not repre
sent a voter or a taxpayer. The petition
was referred to the committee on morals.
m
Found Dead in His Yard.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. June 23.— Coroner
Campbell was summoned this afternoon
to Lordsburg to hold an inquest upon the
body of W . F. Cummins, agnd (» years,
who was found dead in his yard early
this morning. Cummins lived alone",
and had no known relatives in this sec
tion. Investigation proved that death re
sulted from heart trouble.
FIERCE FIRE IN RED BLUFF.
A dumber of Dwelling ■« and Hums Were
Consumed.
RED BLUFF, Cal., June 23.— About 2
o'clock this afternoon, when the wind
from the north was blowing almost a gale,
a fire originated in a shed in the rear of
the residence of J. C. Turner. Before the
engines could get to work the fire had
leaped to a two-story frame building be
longing to J. F. Pendleton and occupied
by S. S. Clapp. Beyond Clapp's home was
an open space several hundred yards in
width, which stayed the fire's progress in
that direction.
With two fires burning, all the force
which two steam fire-engines could bring
to bear was required, the only surprise is
that the destruction was confined to two
half blocks. To complicate matters engine
No. 1 broke down and was useless for
about fifteen minutes, after which it was
patched up to work at about half force.
The principal losers are: Samuel Lewis,
J. P. Saderlund, J. N. Gregg, Newt Miller,
G. W. Madison and J. F. Pendleton.
The sodawater factory ami cement works
of G. W. Madison, and many sheds, hay
barns and stables were also destroyed.
An infant child of Mrs. James Maloney
had its clothes burned off, but was not
seriously injured.
So rapid was the progress of the rire that
several horses and cows were burned to
death, and a magnificent span of pacers
valued at $500 belonging to J. j. Grinnell
were only taken from the stable after the
building was all in flames. The total loss
exceeds $20,000, and the insurance is about
$12,000.

BRIBERY IN THE
DAWSON CASE,
George Kinsey Tells How
He Left Los Angeles
for Phoenix.
SUPPLIED WITH FUNDS.
Railroaded From One Place to
Another by an Agent of
Mrs. Dawson.
SHADOWED BY DETECTIVES.
Defendant Wi'l Swear That She Kn.ws
Nothing About the Kinseys'
Movements.
SEATTLE, Wash., June 23.— George
Kinsey, formerly of Los Angeles and now
a resident of Kansas City, went on the
witness-stand tbis morning in the Dawson
divorce case and confessed that he had
been bribed by A. A. Eckstrom, a paper
hanger of Los Angeles, to leave Los An
geles with his wife. Eckstrom, the plain
tiff contends, was employed by Mrs.
Dawson. The witness said Eckstrom sent
for him, and when he went to see him told
him that he ought not to make the depo
sitions that he contemplated doing, and
atked him to leave the coast until after
June. Eckstrom offered him $50 and all
expenses, and told him that he would not
want him to go north, would rather he
would go south, and did not want him to
correspond with any one while away.
Kinsey said he wanted more money, and
Eckstrom agreed to give it to him. Eck
strom asked him to go to Arizona with
his wife. It was so agreed, and with
money in their pockets which Eckstrom
had given them and railroad tickets which
were purchased with Eckstroni's money
the Kinseys went to Phoenix, Ariz.
Mrs. Kinsey, the witness said, had told
him to accept Eckstrcim's offer, but his
mother, Kinsey said, told him that she
did not think it was right. Kinsey had a
letter of introduction to G. A. Smith of
Phoenix, Ariz. When he reached there he
presented the letter, and later Smith gave
him $25 and told him the next payment
would be in ten days. Kinsey received
several letters of introduction from Eck
strom through the mail after he had ar
rived in Phoenix. Before leaving Los
Angeles Kinsey said Eckstrom told him
he would be taken care of at Phoenix.
About ten days after Smith had paid him
$.5 the Kinseys went to Kansas City.
Smith bought ;hem tickets and gave them
about $10 additional. The Kinseys reached
Kansas City in April and the witness ob
tained employment in a dry-goods store.
There were about 400 employes in the
store. The witness had charge of a soda
fountain. His salary was $50, and the
witness said he is still in the employ of"
the store and wa? given a le:ive of absence
so that he could cjine to Seattle.
The witness said he had received a num
ber of letters while in Kansas City from
Eckstrom. They were not signed, and in
accordance with a request from Eekstrom
he returned them to him. The witness
aho received several telegrams relating to
money matters which were not signed.
On June 9, the witness said, hfi wrote to
Mr. Eckstrom that he was being watched
by detectives.
In answer to a question from General
Carr the witness said that he knew he was
watched because when he went to the cen
eral delivery for his mail he always met a
man who followed him home. In answer
to I he letter written on June 9 the witness
sai<l he received a telegram from Eck
strom, which read as follows:
"Chance instantly. Will send you mon
ey by teleirrain. Answer." [Not sieneri.]
The witness said he came to Seattle at
General Carr's request.
Mr. Ronald sain that the defense had no
knowledge whatever of the alleged bribery
of t:e Kinseys. Eckstrom, he said, knew
Mrs. Dawson 's mother, but Mrs. L>awson
would swear that she never had anything
to do with getting the Kinseys out of tne
way, nor did she know anything about their
leaving. ___^_________

RAPHAEL'S A SAN FRANCISCO HOUSE 9, 11, 13, 15
(Incorporated). I RUM BY FRISCO BOYS. 1 Kearny Street
MA KE ISLAND COURT- MARTIAL.
Patted. Assistant Naval Paymaster Web
ster in Serious Trouble.
VALLEJO, Cal., June 23.— The Secre
tary of the Navy has ordered Passed As
sistant Paymaster Edwin B. Webster,
D. S. N., to be court-martialed, as a result
of the court of inquiry held at the Navy
yard a couple of weeks ago. The court
will convene at the Navy-yard Friday of
this week. Webster is now on board of
the receiving ship Independence under
arrest. The following officers have been
detailed as members of the court: Presi
dent, Captain Henry L. Howison; mem
bers, Commander Henry E.Nichols, Lieu
tenant-Commander Fred M. Symonds,
Lieutenant-Commander F. J. Drake,
Lieutenant Henry T. Mayo, Pay Inspec
tor W. W. Woodhull, Paymaster Henry
T. Skelding. The officer to act as judge
advocate of the court is now on the road
out from Washington, he being detailed
especially for this purpose. Paymaster
Webster is charged with having obtained
$2500 as a cash bond as security for W. J.
Tobin of this city, who went out as his
clerk on the Yorktown, and has failed to
return the same, Mr. Tobin now being out
of the service.
COPPER MINES TO REOPEN.
Activity in Copperopolis Which Will
Benefit Stockton.
STOCKTON, Cal., June 23.— The Cop
peropolis mines are to be reopened. They
have been closed for the past three years,
j as the price of copper has not been high
enough to admit of their being worked
with profit. The property belongs to the
Ames estate of Boston, and its representa
tive has now decided to work it again.
The representative is now in Arizona, but,
according to a local merchant who is
Dosted in the matter, will be here next
week on his way to the mines. The name
of the representative of the Ames estate
the local man would not disclose, but he is
sure that the valuable mines will soon give
plenty of work to local men.
If the Copperopolis mines start again,
as now appears to be certain, it will re
! dound to Stockton's advantage, for when
I they were in operation this city was made
J the base of supplies for everything used
j by the miners. They did a greatdealmore
I buying here than do the gold miners
I farther up the road. For this reason the
local merchants will be interested in the
statement that they will soon reopen.
There has never been any doubt as to
the productiveness of the mines' at Cop
peropoli*. They are s«id to be far richer
than the great Anaconda in Montana that
was recently sold to a foreign syndicate for
a fabulous sum. The great difficulty has
I been operating them and getting the prod
| uct to market. The shafts are some dis
tance from the railroad, and if they are
opened up again on a larger scale, as is
contemplated, a branch road may be run
from the Milton line to Copperopolis.

POCATELLO DEMOCRATION.
Willis Sweet's Return to Idaho From the
St. /.ohm Convention.
POCATELLO, Idaho, June 23. — This
morning at 3 o'clock a large delegation of
citizens with a silver band met the west
bound passenger at the depot to welcome
Hon. Willis Sweet upon his return home
from the National Convention at St. Louis.
As the train approached the depot the
band played the National quickstep air,
and when Mr. Sweet alighted from bis car
cheer upon cheer rang upon the air.
Colonel Ferguson, on behalf of Pocatello,
warmly welcomed Mr. Sweet in a pleasant
vein and said that they were there to prove
their hearty appreciation of his action as a
delegate at St. Louis and to let people at
large know how determined Idaho was in
the great silver light which is now being
waged. , ,
Mr. Sweet responded in an effective way,
recalling touching and. awe-inspiring inci
dents of the St. Louis convention and the
admiration with which Senator Teller was
received, even by his political enemies,
when he announced his final determina
tion to leave the party which he j had sup
ported all his life. The train then . de
parted with Mr. Sweet for Boise City. - v,:'
