Mrs. Amanda Fennell
Sues for Divorce at
Fresno.
SEPARATION HAS BEEN
AGREED UPON.

Her Husband Announces That
He Will interpose No
Objection.
ARE SEEMINGLY ON THE BEST
OF TERMS.
Friends Intimate That the Insur
ance Agent's Poverty Has Led
to the Action.
FRESNO, Ca^,, July 14.— Mrs. Amanda
J. Fennell, • formerly Mrs. Theodore C.
Marceau, began suit in the Superior Court
of this county . to-day. for a divorce from
Gerald M. Fennell. . The complaint was
tiled after 5 o'clock this evening, the hour
for closing the" County Clerk's office. It
was the purpose to Keep the fact of the
suit a secret, but as in all such interesting
cases there was a lean. The complaint is
sealed, and it is impossible to learn on
what grounds a separation is asked.
Frank H. Short is Mrs. Fennell's attorney.
Wben seen by The Call correspondent
to-night he said that bis client had ex
pressly instructed him to say nothing
about the case.
The circumstances connected with the
case are somewtiat strange. It is under
stood that the husband will not fight the
suit, being willing that she should have
the decree. Yet the couple bave been liv
ing in this city for the past few weks on
apparently the best terra?. This evening
Mr. and Mrs, Fennell went for a ride to
gether. They were interviewed by The
Call correspondent just before they
started.
"I am happy to say," said Mr. Fennell,
"that the relations between my wife and
myself are of the most pleasant character.
We are going for a drive and intend to
call on some friends this evening, and
shall not return until late.
"No, I have no statement to make to
the press, as I do not wish to air our do
mestic affairs. Any publication at this
time would be premature, and Mr*. Fen
nell and I would be very much pleased
that nothing be said about the suit. My
wile has been in Fresno for some time
looking after her extensive interests here,
and she is at present having a building
erected on her I-street property, the site
of the old Grady Opera-house. We re
turned a lew days ago from a brief pleas
ure trip to Southern California, spending
most of the time at the hotel oil Mount
Lowe." _ ym
Fennell continued that tbe papers had
had enough to say about his wife, and ho
hoped they would say nothing about her
present suit for divorce.
Mrs. Fennell quietly told the news
paper man that at this time she had noth-
ing to say about the case. She then
turned to her husband and he gallantly
assisted her into the carriage. Thov oc
cupied the rear seat, and the coachman
and another functionary sat in front. As
the conveyance went around the corner of
the two main thoroughfares of the city
Mr. Fennell lovingly embraced his wife
and she placed her head on his shoulder,
•nd the people on the streets did not neg
lect to observe the performance. ._?
ft is stated on good authority that Mrs.
Fennell's chief reason for desiring a sepa
ration is thst Mr. Fennell has not money
enough. When she married the New
York insurance agent she thought that he
had a much greater amount of wealth
than he really posses. cd. People here
who are acquainted with the couple sym
pathize with the husband to some extent.
While ha is a clever insurance agent he is
not at all overwise in the general affairs of
life. Mrs. Fennell stated here recently
that she obj -cted to rooming with her
husband because be had consumption.
He appears to be quite robust.
The strange pair have been stopping to
gether at tbe depot hotel. They ate
together, and no. one lias suspected any
intention on their part of separating. At
dinner to-day, however, Mr. Fennell
looked somewhat glum, but his wife chat
ted and laughed in a lively manner with
her private secretary, who was also at the
table.
It was learned this evening that abont
a month ago Mr. and Mrs. Fennell had
what is vulgarly termed a "scrap" at the
hotel. Another guest hrard the noise and
separated the combatants. This breach
was soon smoothed over, apparently, for
it was not long before they were together
again. •
The suit for divorce was filed in this
county because Mrs. Fennell considers
Fresno her home. Once before she insti
tuted an action for divorce in this county.
That was several years ago, and shortly
afterward her husband, who was John D.
Fiske, was shot and killed by F. C. Still
man, who is serving a life sentence at San
Quentin for the crime. The complaint
filed to-day is said not to contain nny racy
reading, and the grounds for a divorce are
not of an unusual character. ■. .; ' ..vv.*.
THE SUIT NOT A SURPRISE.
Mr*. Fennell Had Intimated Her Inten-
lion to Friend*.
Mr. and Mrs. Fennell were married In
New. York in November last, -but two days
after her 'divorce' from Colonel, Marceau
was granted, after the most sensational
suit of the kind ever heard before the
courts in this City. There , had been
trouble between Colonel Marceau and his
wife for some time previous, but ' matters
were brought to a crisis when on raiding
her apartments in the Palace Hotel he
found sufficient evidence to justify his
making J. H. Maloney, a turfman from
Canada, well known about town, the co
respondent, xyrfyr -
Shortly after their marriage Mr. and
! Mrs. Fennell returned to this City and
j look up their residence at 733 Ashbury
Height.. Their wedded bliss was not
' long uninterrupted, and Mrs. l ennell ex
! pressed to her intimate friends much dis
'-. appointment in the realization of what
she had hoped for and expected, and Inti
mated that her separation from Mr. Fen
nell was only a question of a longer or
shorter time. This in a measure prepared
them for what soon followed. .
On February 16 of this year, during the
absence of her husband from home, she
packed up and disappeared with trunks,
several cases of silverware and all her
private papers and other belongings, and
was for some time lost to all efforts ou the
j part of her husband to trace her, he in
j sisting to the last that she bad not de-
I serted him, though he could offer no other
i plausible explanation of tier continued
i absence and concealment of her where
: abouts.
Altogether Mrs. Fennell, though still a
j young woman, has had a larger and more
' varied experience in married life than
falls to the lot, or rather is chosen by
most women. Her first husband was
John Flake, a capitalist of Fresno, who
was murdered, leaving her a wealthy
widow with two children. Five yars
after his death she married Colonel Mar
ceau, the well-known photographer of
this City, at the annual encampment of.
the State, militia, in .which he held
office. Her subsequent carc?r is still
fresh in the memories of the people of
this City. '
, PORTLAND'S MYSTERY.
Police Fail to Shake the Story of the
thi.d Who Claims She Found a
Human Heat/.
PORTLAND, Ok.. July, 14.— Coroner
i Koehler, feeling averse to engaging in a
possibly futile search and perhaps un-
I necessary expense in connection with tbe
I recovery of the human head alleged to
j have been found on the Washington-street \
I wharf and thrown into the river last Fri- i
j day by little Bertha Sauerman, this morn- I
! ing for the first time interviewed Bertha '
; in tho presence of Deputy District At- j

questions were of a probing character, but i
Bertha's replies did not vary a scintilla

10 year-old girl almost perfectly de

head, having been severed from - the
trunk. No amount of cross-examination
could move her from the original text.
The party next visited tbe scene where
the head was supposed to have been
found, and Bertha there remained loyal
to her original story. One circumstance,
however, in a measure shaking the confi
dence of Dr. Koehler ana Mr. Fitzgerald
was Bertha's unflinching story that when
she beheld that it was a human he.'.d she
bad picked off tbe wharf she threw it into
the river. To accomplish this she would
have had to hurl it a distance of thirty
feet over a canvas sign, and then' to gain
the water the head must have rolled a
further distance of thirty feet. Besides
that a small upraise would havo stopped
it then unless its momentum was in ex
cess of the ordinary. . .
It is scarcely fair to charge Bertha with
"making up" this story, which might
have been inspired by her finding the two
braids of human hair. Her description of
the head was almost too perfect to justify
theaccusatlon of her telling an untruth.
At present the only obstacle to placing
absolute confidence in her story is the
seemingly impossible distance she threw
the head. The head is not yet recovered
JOKE OF FOLSOM COSTICTB.
Heat the Guard*' Room* With Steam on
«t .Sultry Night-
SACRAMENTO. Cal., July 14.— When
the guards at the Folsom prison made
their appearance in the dining-room from
their Bleeping quarters yesterday they all
agreed the night had been the hottest they
had ever experienced. They claimed to
have perspired so much that their beds
were sopping wet, and in consequence
they were so weak they could hardly drag
themselves arouna. While they were
complaining one of the attaches happened
to place bis hand on the steam register,
nssd.in the winter season for heating pur
poses, and found it was redhot. An im
mediate invsstigation followed and it was
found that some practical joker among
the- convicts bad turned on a full head of
steam, and in consequence every heater
in the guards' room had been running at
full-blast all night.
Engineer Matterson, who is in charge of
the power-house, was the greatest sufferer,
as he had an electric fan so placed ttiat it
blew a blast of the doubly heated air over
him all night. * * .... t
The joke produced great glee among the
convicts and a corresponding amount of
gloom among the guards.
Drowned in th* Sacramento.
SACRAMENTO, Cal., July 14. -Charles
Grater, a young married man of this city,
was drowned in the Sacramento River
this afternoon while bathing with three
companions. He was a fine swimmer
and it is thought that he must have been
suddenly taken with cramp. He made
no struggle or outcry when he sank. The
young man was a member of the Capitol
City Wheelmen and belonged to the For
esters. He was about 23 years of age

The morning service closed wilh a
splendid sermon by Rev. Jesse B. Haston,
A.M., of Salinas, who addressed the con
vention upon" the subject, 'Where Are
the Disciples of Christ and Wuilher Are
They Going?" He said: '.: b* ..
The seventeenth century asked. "What do
you think?" It was an age of scholasticism—
of creed raakina. The eighteenth century
asked, "How do you f.el?" Ii was an era of
romance. It dreamed dreams and saw visions
and wrote poetry. The nineteenth century
asks, "What do you do?" It cares little for
mere profession. * :■}■-,-■
People may try to think together and feel
together, but only when they come to work
together does the union spirit grow apace.
Therefore in this later era of practicalities we
hear much of Christian union from the strong
and great of all parties. -7 ,
Going baCK to the words of Christ and his
apostles we see that the rightly bnllded church
will contain every great principle that has
been contended for by each great religious
denomination. It will be an Episcopal church,
for the doctrine of bishops Is a New Tests
ment teaching. -It will be a Presbyterian
church, for the ruling elder is a New Testa
ment doctrine. It will be Congregational and
Methodist, because Congregational independ
ence and vital piety are each emphasized in
our divine standards. It will be Baptist, be
cause all can unite In saying that the ordi
nance of baptism as they practice is valid. - ,'■_ l
This coming church ior which we are labor.
ing will be inclusive, not exclusive. It will
therefore, be a true Catholic church. It can
be all these because all these are Christian.
lithe disc. of Christ shall so adjust
themselves as to be the standing exponents of
the best progress and teacning of the times
theirs is the last and convincing reform. In
order to do this they must be ready to give
welcome consideration to everything that is
seriously offered y*af truth. J. or assuredly
whatever is truth will live, if not within our
limits outside of them. Here is the opportu
nity of the centenary.
The reports of the evangelist, secretary
and treasurer will be i ead to-morrow, and
the evening session will be a temperance
rally, presided over by W. Webb. Rev.
Howard Russell, president of the National
Anti- Saloon , League, will be. the chief
speaker. Large crowds are coming in on
every train and Garfield Park .presents a
very lively appearance. -

PACIFIC GROVE, Cal , July 14 — The
second day's session of . the Chautauqua
Assembly of the Pacific Coast opened this
morning at 0 o'clock. The sunshine which
has made the days of the past' two weeks
so perfact was absent to-day,' Old Sol
being obscured by a fog; but the gloomy
atmosphere had no' appreciable effect
upon the interest which was manifested
by the Ohautauquarrs In the work and
pleasure before them. . b,V ;
The first hour tho morning session
was devoted to the formal organization of
classes Dr. Eli McClish, the assembly
president, opened the. session with a short
devotional service,' which he foltowd with
a few introductory remarks. -This year's
assembly, ho said, opened up under pe
culiar circumstances, coming as it did
upon the crest of a great wave of enthusi
asm, produced by the Christian Endeavor
Convention, and it would therefore be an
unusual assembly in many ways. He
spoke of the extraordinary array of talent
which had been engaged and called upon
the various instructors who were present
to speak briefly upon the lines they would
follow in the lessons to their several
classes. ' . - yf'ff .ff.-ff.f
.- Milton L. Laurence of San Jose spoke
first. He had made arrangements for the
reorganization of two classes in vocal cul
ture, one for children, which would be
r.e, and one lor adult--. Professor J. W.
Riedman of the University of California
outlined the worK he would conduct in
elementary and conversational classes in
German and French and in preparing
! students to enter these classes at Berke
ley without an entrance examination.
Mrs. C. L. Place of the University of Min
nesota organized a class in geography
methods on normal school plans and New
ton Cleaveland of (Stanford University
pave a short talk upon zoology which
branch he will conduct here and organ
ized a class in marine zoology. Each of
the classes enrolled a goodly number of
members. y~t»'-'f ■-." - ,-
The principal period of the morning
was taken up by the. forum hour, which,
as its name implies, is devoted to the dis
cussion of the more prominent questions
of the day. This being anti-saloon day,
this period was taken up with a sym
posium of talks upon temperance— not nil
prohibition or teetotal ■" talks, but ail
against the saloon as an enemy of social
development.
Dr. McClish becan the talk by defining
the Anti-Saloon League as a new method
by which the adherents of temperance
were endeavoring to posh forward the
work.
"We have already tried," said the doc
tor, "moral suasion for the drinker, men
tal suasion for tbe thinker, legal' suasion
for the drunkard-maker and. prison sua
»ion for the statute-breaker; all of which
methods have up to this time been merely
experiments."
He introduced the principal speaker,
Dwight H. Robinson, State lecturer and
organizer of the Anti-Saloon League of
Michigan. Mr. Robinson gave an outline
of the work as carried on in bis State, the
progress already made and the ' future
plans of his State organization. Dr. Bo
vard of the First' Methodist Church of
Alameda also spoke upon the work in
California, giving its history in brief from
its beginning last year. J)/. Bovar.l is the
chairman of the primary committee ol
the California Anti-Saloon League and the
State secretary.
The 2 o'clock afternoon session was
called to order by Dr. McClisP and the
meeting was opened with prayer by Rev.
Dr. Ewing of India. Dwizht H. Robin
son made a few remarks on "Good Cit
izenship,'' rather in the nature of a pre
lude to the address by the orator of the
day. Dr. K. H. Russell of Columbus, Ohio,
I National representative :of the' Anti-Sa
• loon League of America. ; „ •
j Dr. Russell followed the subject begun
by Mr. Robinson. He told- something
about methods of the Aiiti-Saioon League
in striving to suppress liquor saloons, and
gave a short history of what has already
been accomplished" since the organization
of the league in 1803. He dealt with the
! obstacles to be overcome in achieving its
aim and the manner of doing it, which he
defined as attention to each one's duties
as a citizen, the seeing to the nomination
and election of the' bast and cleanest
town, county and State officials, and the
raising of the standards of each commun
ity. The other question' would then solve
itself by natural sequence, he Bald.'
The Round Table assembled in the Ep
worth League "-lecture-room at 5 o'clock
and was conducted by Dr. McClish. Tne
subject wan, "Chautauqua and Its' Work."
Dr. H. H. Russell again addressed the
assembly and many outsiders at 8 p.m. in
the assembly hall upon the subject:
"Who is to blame for the liquor traffic?"
This closed the day's exercises. .

PORTLAND, Ob., July 14.— A blazing
cottage and the charred remains of her
two youngest children showing through
tbe smoke and flame as the roof fell in,
her three other cnildren suffering from
burns, standing in their night-clothing,
sobbing and wringing their hands in dis

was the scene presented to Widow Besse
sen of Linnton as last midnight she left a
neighbor's house and reached her own.
She was the mother of five children, aged
respectively i 12, 9, 6, 4 and i years. Care
fully tucking the little ones in their beds
shortly after 8 o'clock, she had started for
the neighbor's house, anticipating an
evening of enjoyment and believing that
her brood at home would as usual drop
off into the dreamless sleep of childhood
and continue to slumber until her return.
After the mother had gone the elder
three children stole out of • bed, and,
climbing ,to some firecrackers, dragged
them from the pantry shelf and began ex
ploding them in the kitchen. With the
last fuse lighted and the pop of the
cracker sounding the children stole back
to bed and were soon asleep.
Shortly before midnight the eldest
child, a boy of 12 years, was awakened by
the room filling with smoke. Half suf

By this time the glare of the burning
home had lightened the windows of the
neighbor's house, where sat Widow Be;
--sesen enjoying herself. In a moment the
place was emptied, the frantic widow
leading the race across the 300 yards of
road to her blazing cottage. She arrived
just in time to catch a glimpse of her two
babies lying in their cots and angry flames
curling about them. Then the roof fell
in, burying them beneath a masi of blaz

CRIME OF A DRUNKEN MAN.
Causes the Mutilation of a Boy by En-
p'odmg a F.recracker in His
Pocket.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 14.— Under
Sheriff Clement went up to Acton yester
day to arrest a miner who, according to
accounts, was guilty of a peculiar form of
fiendish ness. The miner is said to be
Jacob Freeman, working in the Red River
mine at Acton, and it is told of him that
on July 4 he put an ignited big firecracker
into the trousers pocket of a small boy
named Hill. When the bomb exploded it
mutilated the lad in a borriole manner,
blowing off part of his groin.
The matter took such a serious turn as
to partially sober up the intoxicated
miner, who tried to make his escape. The
act was reported to the Sheriff and the
officer went up to arrest the fellow. Upon
arriving at the mine the superintendent
told Clement that Freeman was in the
shaft and would be up at a certain hour,
when the shifts changed. Clement
waited, but his man d.d not appear, and
he deeded to go down after him. He did
so, but could not find him. He returned
to the surface, and on consultation with
Deputy District Attorney Williams de
cided to have the superintendent arrested
on the charge of secreting a person wanted
by the law. _
The officials in charge of the mine
finally decided to give the man up, and.
he soon put in an appearance and was
taken to Langs station, where the Justice
held him to answer the charge, with bail
in the sum of $2000. which he was unable
to give and is in tne County Jail. . : *-- *
