LIKE A ROMANCE
Mrs. McLellan's Life From
the Magdalen Asylum
to the Jail.
The Family Prominent Members
ol the First Baptist Church
Many Years Ago.
She Denies the Statement That
She Is Shielding Her
Brother.
Oakland Office Bas Francisco Call,)
Broadway, June 19. f
The early members of the First Baptist
Church of this city are considerably sur
prised to discover that Mr-. Clara McLel
lan, now detained in tne County Jail on a
charge of erand larceny, is none other
than the granddaughter of Mrs. Elizabeth
Hughes, for some time the missionary of
the city Baptist Mission Union.
Jlr. and Mrs. Norman R. Turner, her
father and mother, reside on Fruitvale
avenue and East Fourteenth street, with
their three grown daughters, and were
also honored members of the same church
twenty years ago. Their daughter Clara,
the prisoner, however, was wayward and
when about 16 was sent to the Magdalen
Asylum in San Francisco, where she re
mained until of age.
Tnere are two brothers in the family,
Norman and Frank. The latter is believed
to be in Sacramento, but no one has heard
of Norman for many years and his present
condition and whereabouts are unknown.
It has been suggested that Mrs. McLellan
■was shielding the real party to the crime,
and that it was none other than her
brother Norman, but this she denied this
evening.
Her lather belongs to one of the old
est ana mo3t aristocratic Kentucky
families, and came lo California when
quite a yonne msn alone. He worked
as a carpenter. He married, but soon
forgot his religious training and his
children were brought up as many others
in the poorer pans of a city. They
were thrown into the society of children
whose habit- were bad and naturally theirs
di>i not remain the best.
"When the family was in its worst finan
cial condition his mother, Mr.-. El:z ibeth
Hughes, unexpectedly appeared from the
East, seeking her son. H s condition
and that of his fami y shocked her, us she
was a very devout Baptist. Seeing a field
for missionary work, she set about to
raise the social standing of the family.
She became a member of the First Baptist
Church, the Rev. G. 6. Abbott, D.D., be
ing the pastor, and boob had the voung»r
children properly clothed and in Sunday
school.
Tt.e elder daughter, Clara, the prisoner,
was persuaded 10 attend, but her way
wardness cropped out, and her mo her
acknowledged tuat the child was beyond
her control, and Bhe was t'laced in the
Maydaen Asylum in Ban Francisco,
where she remained until of age. The
elder boys were also wayward and trouble
«cm», and one was finally brought into
tbe toi.s of the law and served a sentence.
Mrs. Turner, who had bsen a Catholic,
need tbatfaitn and both jome.i the
llaptist church, and were •dive members
for many years. Mrs. Hughe-* was made
city missionary at a salary of $23 a mouth.
Mr. Turner iaier bought a home in Fruit
vtie and prosperity seemed to dawn for
h:m and his. The reports received trera
such us to indicate a real and lasting con
ver-ion and the family prospered,
Ttien came tiif new 3of Clara's marriage
to Charles I). ICcLelian, that she was a
happy wife and mother, and the sins of
hst girlhood were forgotten for a genuine
reform seemed to bare been wrought in
her nature. From a wild eirl she settled
down to be a respectable member of so
ciety and was looted up to as worthy of
the station she held.
Just at this time the grandmother
shocked :he church and all who knew her
by giving up that faith and going off to
Christian science, and as a consequence
her name was stricken off the church roll.
"Our family is a queer one." said Mrs.
McLellan to-nigbt. "I cio not know where
Norman is and haTe not heard from him
fur many year*. Frank. I think, is in
Sacramento, but I have not seen him for
three year-. My parents re«ide at Fru.t
vae and GrandmTther Hughes lives with
them. She has beeu au invalid now for
seven years.
"No, I am not shielding my brother,
nor any other man. 1 can't realiz- how
this trouble came upon m*. I had the
best Husband in the world and two of the
best chllaren on earth, bur now their live-*
are ruined and mine. I do not know
whether Manuel Silveria gave me a false
name or not; I hope he. did not, but a
man who would treat a woman as he has
me would not hesitate at anything."
"Yep, 1 knew Mrs. Hughes very well."
said Granville 8. Abbott to-night when
asked concerning her. "and I am very
much surprised to learn tba' her grand
daughter wa* iv jail. Mrs. Hughes has
lived for a number of years at Mr. Turner's
in Fruitvae. Sue was a great help to
them in the eariy days in California. She
made the complaint "thai sent Clara to the
asylum in San Francisco. If she is pro
tecting her brothtr's act in this matter it
in too bad. Ido not know anything about
the boys, for they Lave not bean around
where I go."
Had tho Wrong Kffect.
OAKLAND, Cal.. June 19.— The Fourth
of July celebration being planned for this
city has betn the mean- of carrying many

of allowing the work to De done at home.
This move has aroused the ire ot those
who fayor home products. Fred Sinclair,
who bus charge of that department of the
work, was asked about the matter tnis
afternoon. He said:
"The matter wat taken up before the
full committee. The representative from
tbe Cincinnati firm s owed a fine line of
L'oods. When I objected that the money
shoul'i be kept at home they told me that
it could not be done except in San Fran
cisco. On that statement we cave an
or ier for 1000 posters, to cost $65.' :

COLD RECEPTION.

With the Approval of Mar
iiliall I*miii.
OAKLAND, Cal, Juno 19.— Th« Rev.
J A. Emery, for sorn« time rector of the
b«. Andrew's Church in West Oakland,
ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS.
has been appointed Archdeacon of this
diocese of the Kpiscopnl church.
The Rev. Marshall Lam of the Church
of the Advent does not give htm a very
cordial congratulation in to-day's issue
of the Choir and Nave, a weekly paper
edited by him. He says:
There sc ms to be no little solicitude about
th<- appointment of the Rev. J. A. Kmery as
the Archdeacon of this diocese, and many in
quiries are made in regard to hi« probable
duties In this parish, iso far us the rector
knows, he will have nothing whatever to do
with us. He is to be a of superintendent
of the country elergr and work. A K<'od, dis
crtii Areh'leacon can be very useiul to his
Bishop and diocese in many ways. \V;-.a: Mr.
Emery will or can be in this new capacity re
mains to be seen. From the standpoint of the
church generally it is an appointment that
seems anything but popular. However, it only
stands until January, 1898, after whicn Mr.
Emeiy must choose between his rectorship and
the position of Archdeacon. He cannot bold
both, nor can any one alter that date.

CLEVER WORK DEFEATED.
Sol Kabn Causes the Arrest
of a Crooked Indi-
vidual.
Lacked Up on a Ciarge cf Forgery
Pending an Investigation by
the Detectives
Oakland Ofi-ice San Francisco Call.)
908 Broadway, June 19. )
A man giving the name of Richard T.
Board was arrested by Officer Murry
at Eleventh and Washington street*, this
afternoon, upon complaint, of Sol Kahn,
for forgery. His name was entered upon
the small book and the detective beizan
workine up a case against him. It is
claimed that for two or three weeus he has
been attempting to defraud storekeepers
by means of bogus checks.
The man to-day met Henry Simmons, a
1"> -year-o!d boy, and asked him to run
an errand for him. A bargain was soon
made and tne lad sta-ted off to K:inn's
with a note. He was to return to Eieventli
and Washington streets with n package.
The man gave as a reason for Mndiac the
boy that he owed a bill and did not want
to go in, as he could not pay it.
The note was handed to Mr. Sol Kahn,
and purported to be signed by Mrs. M. L.
Norman, 1709 Groy street. It stated that
Mr. Kabn would rind a check inclosed to
pay her bill of $6 BO and 25 cents' worth of
cheesecloth, and requested that the
change be wrapped in the cloth. The J'i -0
was due from Mrs. Norman, and the
scheme would have workod all right rin
for ihe fact that the check was for $50.
Mr. Kahn decided to telephone the
Central Bank to see if the man named on
the check had an account tnere.
Cashier Charles Yates announced that
no such name as L. £. Rowland, tbe
one on the check, was known to him.
This aroised Mr. Kahn's suspicions, and
he tel> p ion>*<i to Chief Lloyd. Th • latter
detailed Officer Murray, in citizen's
clothe?, to >jo to the store, On his arrival
Mr. Kabn pretended to wrap the money
in the package and gave toe bundle 10 the
boy.
Officer Marray followed th« lad to
Eleventh street, where he saw him band
the package to a man. He immediately
placed bo h under arrest and took them
to the City Hall. The boy maintains his
innocence, and declare- he knew nothing
of th? man before he was asked to run the
errand.
On Board's person was found a letter
from Kahn Bro*. inclosing his bill. He
is a roiH'h appearing man, about 35 years
of age. He looks like a fa-mhand. It is
said that there is a L. E Rowland living
on San Pablo Creek, and that he owm
quite a farm. Efforts are being made this
evening to locate him :md ascertain if he
gave such a check to any one.

boys were given an ovation by those who
learned of the event. A terrific struggle
occurred before the animal was landed,
but the boys held on tenaciously, and
were well rewarded. It was placed on ex

A New York boss printer relates that, like some other business men,
1 he is frequently hurried about his meals, and as a consequence has twinges
of dyspepsia. "Sometimes," he says, "there is a rising tip of a sour,
watery substance in the throat that is not pleasant. I keep a supply of
Ripans Tabules
now, and whenever there is any trouble I take one.*' To the inquiry
how he took it, the answer was given, "In a glass of beer." "Your
wife don't take them that way, does she?" "No, but she swears by
them, though. She used to have dyspepsia and they cured her."
