TOOK HER LIFE
WHILE IN BED
Mrs. Hawley Uses the Pistol
Her Husband Kept Be
neath His Pillow.
On a Previous Occasion She
Tried to Commit Suicide
With Gas.
Her Domestic Eolations Were Pleas
ant, but Her Health Was
Not Good.
Oakland* Office San Francisco Call,*
90S Broadway, Sept. 7- j
Mrs. Mary Hawley ended her life tbis
morning by shooting herself while lying
in bed with a revolver, which she took
from beneath her husband's pillow. s
When Mr. and Mrs. Hawley retired last
night there was nothing to indicate that
she was not in her normal state of mind.
Her husoand was awakened this morning
by hearing a shot, and on looking at his
svie he saw that she had comraittei sui
cide. Hawley generally sleeps with his
i isiol under his pillow, and last night be
placed it there as usual. The Hawleys lived
at me Davis House, on Washington street,
coming from Haywards, where they kept
a wholesale liquor store. He has done
some private detective work recently, but
has mainiy lived on the income of his in
vestments.
For several years Mrs. Hawley has been
under the m dical attention of Dr. Blood,
and on some occasions has been affected
■with a temporary fit of suicidal mania.
Dr. Blood believes that the deed was com
mitted during one of these attacks. Their
life was happy and Hawley is said to
have been very attentive to his wife. On
one occasion she attempted to commit
sulci c by turning on the gas in her room,
but her husband returned in time to save
her.
William K'-nt, the politician, whom the
Haw leys visited last n.ght, said that Mrs.
Hawley seemed brighter than usual last
ii 'lit and -aid that her illness had almost
left her. Mr. Hawley owns considerate
properly in San Rafael ana also in Napa
Couniy, and he ami his wife recently re
turneo from spending t..e summer in
Marin County.
AN EABLY MOBNING TIBE.
Destruction of a Large Barn and a Lot
of Hay.
ALAMEDA, Cal., Sept. 7.— About 1
o'clock this morning, fire broke out in a
barn belonging to the Lubben Brothers,
on tbe corner of Pacific avenue and Web
ster street. Although an alarm was at
once given and the department responded
promptly the structure was completely
destroyed, lt was filled with hay, which,
of course, burned like tinder. A general I
alarm was turned in and the entire de- <
partment was called out, but beyond say- ;
ing the adjacent property nothing could I
be done.
Next to the burned building was another
barn, in which were twenty or more
horses. These were cut loose and turned
out on the street and quickly scattered
over the town. One animal after being
turned loose ran directly into the flames
and was so badly burned that it had to be
sho*. Another was slightly burned, but
will recover. The los-i on the burned
property is fully $2000. The building it
self was included in a .eneral policy for
$1200 on the entire property of the owners,
but this constituted only a small portion,
hence the loss is almost total.
There is no clew to the origin of the
fire other than that it $ might have
been from spontaneous combustion en
gendered in the hay, some of which might
have been damp. Th" force of the flames
appeared to come from the center of the
stack of bales, which gives color to this
tneory.

ONE RAIL WAS REMOVED
Eailroad Detectives Suspect
That Four Men Did the
Morrano Job.
Owing to a Miscalculation the Plan
to Bob the Express Was Not
Completed.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)
908 Broadway, St-pt. 7. J
A very carefully laid attempt to either
wreck or hold up a train was made at
Morrano, between Tracy and Crows
Landing, on Saturday night, and has
been reported at the pier by the train
men.
In a lonely portion of the road the en
gineer of t c Los An.ele** express saw a
big bonfire on the track and was com
pelled to stop. He realized at once that
the train was held up and the trainmen
prepared to withstand au attack on tbe
Wpll'-Fargo car, which contained about
$2500. To their surprise, however, no
assault was made and the train-wreckers
and robbers nad evidently made some
miscalculation. It was found that one of
'he rails had been wrenched out of place
and a large number of ties placed on the
track. The track was cleared and the
rail replaced after which the train pro
ceede I.
A couple of railroad detectives have \
been working on tbe case for the last two j
day-< and have a couple of men under sus
picion. There are more connected with
the crime, and the detectives are planning
to get them all covered before making any
arrests. They are in possession of evi
dence which mates it acso.utely certain
that the design of the perpetrators was to
hold up the train. The point where the
fire was seen is a lonely spot, with no
house: nearer than a mile. The track
makes a curve at the point, so that the
train i * shut out as it passes around it. It
is the best spot from a robber's ,-oint of
view for holding up a train between Oak
land and Bakersfield.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1897.
BERKELEY HAS
NO LEGAL COURT
A Decision That Affects
Many People Now
in Jail.
Recent Marriages by Justices
May Also Have to Be
Re-enacted.
Judges Ogden and Hall Bender a
Joint Opinion in the Superior
Court.
Oakland Office S.sjt Francisco Call,)
90S Broadway, Sept. 7. ,
Judges F. B. Ogden and S. P. Hall ren
dered a decision to-day declaring that the
Justices' courts of Berkeley have n • juris
■ diction or authority. The decision was
' rendered in a case of assault with a
, deadly weapon, and the defendant's brief
I on motion to set aside the information re
| cites the facts of the incorporation of the
i Justices' courts and holds that it is
legal. ;>':.-
Judge Hall delivered the opinion and
said: "We have come to the conclusion
j that the original act creating the Justice's
| Court In the original charter of Berkeley
| was repealed by the adoption of the free
; holders' charter, and we are obliged to
find that the last act attempting to create
a Justice's Court is invalid. We are
obliged to come to the conclusion that
the decision of the Supreme Court govern
. ing the Stockton Justice's Court applies
, here, and tlip.t t ere is no Justice's Court
for the town _•_ Berkeley or any Justices
of the town of Berkeley. The motion will
be granted to dismiss the information."
There are several cases hanging on this
decision, all of which will necessarily be
dismissed.
The question has now been raided as to
whether aiarriaeea performed by the
Berkeley Justices; are legal. Under the
former laws of the State it would be legal,
because the parties having lived together
as husband and wife and acknowledged
each other as such, wou d by such later
acts be independent of the actual cere
ninny in adducing proof of marriage.
Under the act ol 1895, requiring a du-y
authorized official to perform all mar
riage-, the Berkeley Justices would not be
cons dered legal officers according to the
decision rendered to-day. About a month
ago Justice Lord of Berkeley united his
daughter in marriage with B. P. Bull,
Town Attorney Hayne of Berkeley
holds that all the past acts of tbe Justices
may be held valid on the de facto basis.
JUSTICES ARE POWERLESS.
Offenders Against Berkeley Town
Ordinances May Go
Unpunished.'
BERKELEY, Cal., Sept. 7.— The deci
sion of the Superior Court declaring illegal
the Justices' courts of Berkeley left the
administration of justice in the college
town in a peculiar position. The Town
Marshal and his deputies will not be able
to convict offenders against town or
dinances, and the Justices will probably
close their offices. Town Attorney Hayne
declares that the case will be carried to
the Supreme Court, and meanwhile local
offenses against the State laws will be
taken before Township Justice Clift at
Oakland.
While the question of the legality of the
Justices' courts is pending before the Su
preme Court no attempt will probably be
made to arrest cyclists who ride on side
walks, or other offenders against town
laws.
JUNIOBS ELECT OFFIOZBS.
Reno H. Hutchinson of Oakland Chosen
President of the (.lass.
BERKELEY, Cal., Sept. 7.— The elec
tion of officers of the junior class was held
this afternoon and nearly 150 votes were
cast. There was a splendid contest for
the presidency, Reno Hu chinson coming
out victorious, with 76 votes against 65 ior
William Durbrow.
Following are the names of the other
officers of the class:
First vice-president, Miss Florence Ewlng:

Miss Alice Porter, Miss C. A. Grunskv, I. C. Al
len, W. B. Scott. Miss K. Wolfenden.
Should the Co-eds Vote?
BERKELEY, Cal., Sept. The uni
versity co-eds who voted to abolish rush
ing at the meeting of the Associated Stu
dents last Friday have been criticized for
their action by Editor Chickerlng of the
Caiiforniai*. In an editorial of this morn
ing's issue of tbe college daily he says:
"We think that the resolution should
have been submitted to male sttu'ent
alone, and then it would have been bind
ing if passed. But now we do not think
that tne male students will consider them
selves bound by a resolution passed by the
vote of the young ladies.'' : :
COLLEGIANS HUNT MOLARS
Seeking to leplace the Grinders in
Freshman Kurtz's - oothleaa
Gums.
BERKELEY, Cal., Sept. 7.— The inves
tigation into the injuries sustained by
Freshman Kurtz i"- the recent rush has
taken a humorous turn. A request ap
peared in this morning's Cali'o over
Editor Ciiickering's signature for infor
mation as to the exact spot where Kurtz
had his teeth knocked out.
••The reason for this," says the editor,
"is that the dentist who has examined him
says that if ihe teeth which were knocked
out could be found they could be grafted
into tne gum again and save the appear
ance ot Kurtz's mouth." Search for the
dental corpus delicti is being prosecuted
with avidity.

DR. REA HAS RESIGNED.
Some of the Sunday Scholars
RDid Not Enjoy So Much
Attention.
Was Pond of Showing Affection to
. Some of the Little Girls at
Church.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,)
908 Broadway, Sept. 7. )
Rev, John Rea, assistant pastor of the
First Presbyterian Chuch, has resigned,
and is now in Loa Angeles. The circum
stances preceding his resignation are be
ing kept in the background, but for sev
eral months rumors not favorable to him
have been freely circulated, and on one
occasion a little scene was witnessed in
the church parlor.*- that nearly caused an
unpleasantness just previous to the Chris
tian Endeavor Convention.
Several weeks aco Rev. John Rea went
for a holiday, and it was rumored that he
would not retnrn. He came back, how
ever, and resumed his duties at the
church, but the same feeling of distrust
was exhibited by several members of the
congregation and he secured a month's
leave of absence and went to Los Angeles.
. For many years Mr. Rea has been
prominently connected with church work
in Oakland, and at one time was the direc
tor oi the orchestra in the First Congrega
tion Church. He it was who organized
the celebrated Congregational orchestra,
which has just severed all connection
with the cburcb. About a year ago he
was engaged by the First Presbyterian
Church coming here from a little church
in Mill Valley. He has also served in Dr.
Mackenzie's church in San Francisco.
Rea has been twice married and is a
man of family and about 50 years of age.
For some months parents of the Sunday
school children: have noticed that he ex
pressed a great fondness for the little girls
and was very free kissing aud fondling
them.
He showed a desire to appear very
fatherly and tender in his manner toward
the old. r girls and this caused pronounced
opposition on their Dart. They showed a
reluctance to attend Sunday-school or
Christian Endeavor meetings.
A few days prior to the Christian En
deavor Convention an officer of the
County Union had occasion to go to the
church to geta Christian Endeavor banner.
He was surprised to sets Rev. Mr. Rea put
ting his arm around a young lady, the
daughter of an ex-school director, who
clearly resented his attention. The differ
ence in their ages was considered to justify
the excuse that the old man was merely
showing a little fatherly attention.
This "fatherly attention" increased as
time wore on and many of the girls re
sented it. The matter was mentioned to
him, but he swore solemnly that he had
never forgotten the dignity ol his office
and denied all the rumors.
Nothing of a serious nature is charged
against the late assistant pastor, but
many members have no hesitation In say
ing that he was indiscreet.
Rev. Dr. Coyie, pastor of the church,
says that Mr. Ilea's resignation is in the
hands of the Board of Elders and will be
acted upon within two weeks.
Secretary F. S. Pug' of the Board of
Elder? begged to be excused from speak
ing. He merely said that he did not wish
to refer to the relations of Mr. Rea with
the church officers for fear of making it
unpleasant for some one.
Three Inquests.
OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 7.— The Coroner
held three inquests to-night. A number
of witnesses came over from San Fran
cisco to testify in the case of August John
son, mate of the Irmgard. Detective
Ellis came with Three-fingered Jack Ben
jamin, but the latter did not testify. The
jury returned an open verdict.
Tne inquiry into the death of John
Cumroings, who died while on his way to
the hospital from a saloon fight, revealed
nothing new. Dr. Buteau testified that
the heart of the deceased was such
that he would have died had he rolled off
a chair.
J. Phillips, who struck him, is in cus
tody and was at the inquest, A verdict
was brought in that the death of the de
ceased was accelerated by a blow, but did
not say by whom.
Poisoned by. Melons.
OAKLAND, Cal, Sept. 7.— The entire
f.imiiv of Mrs. Mac Mauvais, who lives a:
266 Thirteenth street, has been poisoned
by eating muskmelons and some of the
membra have not yet recovered.
They had melons last night, and to-day
were taken with hemorrhages ana sinking
spells. A doctor was hastily summoned
and has been working over them all day
to-day. The condi ion of F. C. Watson, a
broker, who is a son-in-law of Mrs. Mau
vais, was considered dangerous to-night.
Mrs. Mnttvais is a prominent member of
t .c Ebeli Society. '«>--'*':*.,:.'
Wanted Free Tickets.
OAKLAND, Cal., Sept. 7— The Main
circus manager appeared before the City
Council to-night and complained that
License Collector Cole went to the tent
a week ago when the circus was in this
city and demanded 100 tickets, and when
they were refused threatened to make
arrests if another lie-use fee of $100 was
not paid.
It was paid under protest. Tho matter
was referred to the Mayor to investigate.

FRAMING A
CHARTER IN
CONFUSION
Elocution Piling a White
Horse Pass in the Path
of the Committee.
Six Sections Adopted After
Three Solid Hours of Hard
Discus ion,
Considerable That Was Unoompli-
men. ary Was Said About the
Supervisors.
■
The charter committee of 100 met in
Native Sons' Hall last night in committee
of the whole, a whole svh.ch was divided
against itself in tbe ratio of two-thirds
against one-third. Owing to a plethora of
elocution there was considerable, circum
locu ion in the manner in which bu i.iess
was done, that is, what little there was of
it. Sections of tbe report of the commit
tee on legislation were, di-sected by philo- j
logists, keenly scanning supposed subtle i
I meanings designed to ruin the murals of j
and loot the property of the people, and, i
after the aforesaid sections had been dis
emboweled and embalmed ready for the j
graveyard of the Supreme Court, they i
were declared adopted as "amended."
The committee began with section 3 '
and there was quite a verbal bullfight
over the clause declaring no person elig
ible to act as a Supervisor "who shall have j
been convicted of any infamous crime or j
who shall have been removed from any
municipal office by the Mayor or by judi
cial proceedings, and such conviction dur
ing his term of office shall cause forfeit
ure of i.is seat in said board."
After some debate the words "by the
Mayor or" were stricken out and the words
'•for malfeasance in offic." were added j
after the words "judic al proceedings."
Then the committi-e went on and
adopted the sections, including the ninth,
and as it was then 11 o'clock they ad- !
I journed until to-morrow night.
There were many funny t* ings in the I
debates, although the speakers seemed to i
be terribly in earnest. Tiie present Board
of Supervisors came in for a whack when
ever anything was said about any Super
visors at all.. Tims Mr. Cutnbertson
! moved to strike out the word "contempt
uous" "because nobody could help show- j
ing contempt for the present board."
In the midst of the proceedings L. R.
Ellert created a spasm of horror by mov
ing to restrict tie speakers to two min
utes each, but the time was raised to five
minutes in short order.
"You can't remove Supervisors for tak
ing bribes from the Spring Valley Water
Company, and hosv can you expect to re
move them for asking the Street Superin
tendent or a contractor to give a friend a
job," said J. J. Dwyer.
Charles Wesley Reed remarked tbat
useless men were appointed and kept in
City offices, by the influence of Supervi
sors, who returned the favor with their
votes on appropriations.
"I have seen the officers and other lead
ing men of a whole church go to a certain
department of the City government and
ask that department to support incompe
l tent persons," said Madison Babcocir... He
I opposed the striking out of that clause in
the section prohibiting Supervisors from
soliciting other City officers or contractors
to give employment to their friends.
Mayor Phelan quietly remarked that
there ought to be something in the char
ter prohibiting Supervisors asking con
tractors to find places for the Supervisors.
When 11 o'clock came the committee
rose, reported and adjourned.
POLICE AS SOLICITORS.
Sale of Tickets for th- Widows' and
Orphan a' Entertainment Has Been
Very Large.
The box-office will be open at the Cali
fornia Theater this morning for the pur
pose of permitting purchasers of tickets
tor the entertainment in behalf of the
Widows' and Orphans' Aid Association of
the Police Department to exchange them
for reserved tea
The sale of tickets has exceeded the
most sanguine expectations of Captain
Wittnian and his committee of arrange
ments. Ten thousand were sold up to
Saturday lasi and 2500 more were printed
and distributed, and a large number oi
them have already been disposed of. No
more tickets will be sold than necessary
so that every purchaser can be accom
modate..
Mayor Phelan and Police Commission
ers Tobin and Alvord have each taken, a
box for the season, and all the boxes and
loges have been sold for the opening
night.
The piece to be presented is "Men and
Women," by the Frawley company. The
Police Choral Society will, between the
acts, render choruses quartets nnd solos,
and a kinetoscope drill of the -police on
Van Ness avenue will be shown on a white
curtain. The fi.ures will be life sice.
The police have worked with a will to
make the affair a financial success, and,
so far, they have been more than suc
cessful. _

CHINESE TEST CASE.
Ah Leong and Sing- Fa Convicted of
Keeping a Minor Girl in a
House of 111 Fame.
Ah Leong and his wife, Sing Fa, were
convicted by Judge Low yesterday of the
charge of keeping a minor in a house of
ill fame, and were ordered to appear for
sentence this morning.
The Judge said that the evidence was
clear against the defendants, and even the
statement of the male defendant that he
rented Lis rooms to cir.s was sufficient of
itself to convict. He had no doubt that
the girl had been kept in tneir house, and
he was also satisfied that she was under
at/e.
Much interest has been taken in this
case, as it is practically a test one. The
youtit. girl was rescued from the house by
the Methodist .Mission people, but was
afterward taken from the mission on a
writ of habea** corpus by order of Judge
Cook. S nee then no trace of her can be
found. ";;?

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when a
man Is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
la no let up to the mental suffering day or
night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under
luch a strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until it was a question whether he had not
better take a dose of poison and thus end all
his throubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shnpe of a combination
of medicines that not only completely restored
I the senerai health, but enlarged his weak,
emaciated parts to natural size aud vigor, and
he now declares that any man who' will take
I the trouble to send his name and address may
have the method of this wonderful treatment
free. Now, when I say free I mean absolutely
without cost, because I want every weakened
man to get the benefit of my experience.
I am not a philanthropist, nor do I poae aa
an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men
' suffering the mental tortures of weakened
manhood who would be cured at enca could
they but get such a remedy as the one that
cured nje. Do not try to study out how I can
afford to pay the few postage-stamps necessary
to mail the information, but send for It and
learn that there are a few things on earth
that, although they cost nothing to get, are
worth a fortune to some men and mean a life-
time of happiness to most of us. Write to
Thomas Slater, box 2283, Ka'.nmaaoo. Mich.,
and the information will be mailed in a plain
sealed envelope.
