NO REST EVEN
IN THE GRAVE
New Precedent Established
by Creditors of Mrs.
Merrifield.
Dug Up Her Coffin Four Years
After It Had Been in the .
Earth.
The Heirs Were Not Consulted, and
Knew Nothing of the Strange
Proceeding.
OAKLAND, Cal., Oct. 12. — A
most remarkable condition of affairs
was brought to light in the Superior Court
tliis morning when some creditors of the
Merrifield estate went into court and
a«l;ei that the undertaker's bill be cut
down on ihe eround of iis being excessive,
Four years ago the remains ot Mrs.
Merrifield were buried at Dixon, and it
was tnought that the old lady would hi
allowed to repose in peace, having left
' >ngh of an estate to pay her bills and |
>^..-.ire a decent funeral.. Such, however,
bus not the case, and without warrant
from the heirs, or without consulting the
. Public Administrator, who had charge of
the estate, Attorney Button, who aj pears
for the creditors, authorized a rival un
dertaker to go to Dixon, exhume the tody
and open ihe casket, and all this for the
purpose of eetting an expert opinion as
10 tne value of tlie coffin, which liad been
buried for four years.
N. W. Leitch :p the undertaker who had
charge Ol the funerai, and he was rcpre
.-ented by Attorney G. C. de Gol:a. air.
Leitch toid the story of the funeral and
of the difficulties attending it, and said
the claim had been allowed and paid a
year and a half ayo and that no protest
had been received from the heirs. It wa»
a very difficult case, necessitating em
balruins: and many other expenses, and
he considered that his bill was a reason
able one.
Albert Brown, the undertaker who had
been sent to Dixon to pass an expert
opinion on the casket, considered that a
much less figure than that charged would
be fair compensation for the casket. He
was closely examined as to who had
authorized him 10 "desecrate a grave."
Brown rep.'ied that he had not desecrated
the grave. "If ihis is not desecrating a
grave," said Attorney de Golia, "then I
would lite to know what it i-. It has
mways been 'nought that when v man
died the pursuit vt him by his creditors
ceased, but in this case a new precedent
has teen evidently been established."
Ex-Public Administrator Stanley cave
testimony ;o the effect that the bill "had
i aliowed and ordered paid by the
court after examining him and Mr. Lcitch.
ile said that so far as they were able to
k\ ; ri! at the time the expen-es were rea
sonable. Attorney Bu.ton was put on the
sana and at first "denied that he had in
ted the opening of the grave and the
sending ot Mr. Brown to Dixon. but
when shown a letter which he had written
he contradicted this part of his testimony.
/After some argument in which Attorney
cc Goiia stated that no man could be an
expert on caskets that ha i been subjected
to the ravages of the soil for four years
the matter was taKen under advisement
by Judge Ogden.
A NEW VOTING SCHEME.
The Charter Convention Investigates
the Intricacies of the Proportional
Representation Ballot >y tern.
* The first part of the charter convention
meeting last evening was devoted to the
consideration of the intricate propor
tional representation system of voting.
Alfred Cridge gave an explanation of the
scheme, and then the convention took an
experimental ballot under the syaiem.
In committee of the whole the rej ort of
the comm ttee on Health Department
was taken upand finished. Section 6, pro*
viding for the appointment o! v. siting
physicians and surgeons for the City Hos
pital by the Board of Health brought up
considerable debate on the question as to
wnether the faculties of the University of
California and Cooler Medical College
should have the power of nominative
t bese aj pointees. It wai contended that
the homeopathist? should nave a chance,
and the provision in regard to the schools
was votea down. >
O her sections were adopted providing
for the appointment of inlenies and po
lice surgeons and desirnatinq theirduties.
The number of health ofiicers to be ap
pointed by the Board of Health and the
fixing of their salaries was lsft to the
Board of Supervisors and al 1 appoint
ments are to be under civil service.
The removal of any member of the Board
j i Health is to be the power of the Mayor
with the proviso that a majority of the
Supervisors approve the removal.
Mayor Pheian called the atteniion of
the committee to the f;ic*. that owing to
the Supreme Court decision there was some
doubt as to whether t lie Freeholder elec
tion should be under the new or the old
law. The matter was referred to the law
committee.

MRS. M'GINN NOW MISS SMITH.
Her Husband Chok<-<1 Her for Chewing
Gum
Mrs. Mabel A. McGinn has been granted
a divorce from George Washington Mc-
Ginn on theground of his extreme cruelty,
his most tyrannous act beinp; to choke
her until she was compelled to eject Irom
her mouth a quid of chewing gum that
she refused to discard when he requested
her to do so.
He also slapped her /ace when she re
turned from the Mecnanics' Institute
Fair on the 13th of las; month. She went
with a younj; lady frtena oecause he was
not able to pay the price of admission.
Ke had not forbiddpn i.er to go, but she
confessed that -he cli i not tell hun of her
intention before she left the boos*. She
got home before 11 o'clock, but he was
an r y. just the same, and called her all
manner of bad Dames.
Mrs. Jane Cockburn, aunt of the fair
plaintiff, swore that she had never seen
McGinn do any ol the acts complained of,
but she had heard her niec9 cry out when
he was la the room with her and had seen
the marks of his fingers on her throat at
the time of the chewing gam episode.
In consideration of the fact that Mrs.
McGinn has no children and that she is
still you-.ig and attractive she wa3 per
mitted to resume her maiden name of
Smith.

Much Discussion Over a
Probable Change of
Soldiers.
More Talk About Colored Troop
ers Coming: to the Pre

will not be long before the colored cavalry
now In Wyoming will be ns-slgned to duty at
Che I'res-idio and that the Fourth Cavalry
troops, now hero, will bo sent to the post
vacated by tha colored troopers. There are
many of thuse at the post who do not
relish the prospective change, find, while they
are not slow In cx i res-sing their opinions,
they are met with the question that was a
familiar one with the late Hill Tweed of New
York, 'What are you goini; to do about it?"
There are some of the residents of the post
who, looking et ihe possible change la a
philosophic d manner, say that the troopers
arc soldiers, be they white or Muck, and that
they can be looked upon only hs soldier*.
Tnese are of Jlie opinion that a change in the
color of the troopers v ill not cause any «reat
disturbance in the post.

GRAND MARINE" DISPLAY.
The Suggestion of National Parlor of
the Native Sons for tho Celebra
tion 1900.
Many of the parlors of the order of the
Native Sons of the Golden West are al
ready devi'-ing ways and means to cele
brate in a fitting manner the 9th of Sep
tember, I'MO, in this city. It is proposed
that the celebration shall be one of
unuiuai magnitude, and the officers and
members of each parlor are making sug
gestions as to what would be most appro
priate on that occasion.
National Parlor of this city, through
W. K. Felt, president, ani other officers,
points out to the officers of the order at
large that dnriac the celebration a pleas
ing and attractive feature would be a
grand marine demonstration on the bay
of San Francisco by the Government war
sbipS| and aavi-es that as soon as practic
able the matter be taken in hand, and that
influence be brought to bear upon the
Government officials at Washington, D.OL,
to prevail upon the Secretary of th<? Navy
to order as many vessels of the navy as
] ossible to the bay of San Francisco at
that time and for the purpose alluded to.
The otiicer* are of the opinion that this
proposition will receive the united atten
tion of the members of the order through

BETTER TIMES ARE HERE.
But Few Vnioii Workmen Are ?»ow Out
of Kruployiuent.
The reports of the union workmen to
their respective unions are of the most
encouraging nature, but few men being
out of employment. Such at least were
the reports made Monday evening at the
regular gathering oi the sandstone cutters.
Within the past few weeks ■ large number
have gone to the big Southern Pacitic Rail
road bridce work at Modesto, and those
who rernnin are kept busy on the ferry
ami Hail oi Justice work.
Even as it is there are not many idle
men, and when the new Weils-Furgo build
ing i-i started on Second and Market all
will surely find employment. On the ferry
building the union men have lesa trouble
with the contractor than formerly, bat
this may De on account of the scarci'.y of
good stone-cutters.
In tbe carpentering trade the same
stat* of affairs seems to exist. There are
many large jobs now on the contractors'
hands and many small jobs to be done
ior which there are no wortmen very
anxious to offer their services. In fact
there i* a good demand for men to tate
work that will last only a few days, and
nearly all the available men are holding
out for something that promises a long
run.
Monday evening Carpenters' and Join
era' Union No. 483 met and decided to
join irsues with the Building Trades
Council — a matter that has been under
consideration for a long time. Union 22
has already signified its intention to join
the council^ and No. 304 will in ail pruba
biiity follow suit very soon. This accom
plished, the council will bs the sironKest
body of organized labor west of the
Mississippi.

old, bagzard-looking woman, "I was hun

tbis store and I was so starved that, when
I saw the eggs, hunger drove me to steal
them.'
The remark was made in answer to a
question by Judce Joachimsen yesterday
morning. Mrs. Hansen was arrested late
Monday night by Policemen Eastman and
Dougherty for stealinc two «2gs from a
crate at the door of Henry Strathman's
grocery. First and Folsom streets.
The Judge promptly dismissed the case
and expressed the opinion that the arrest
was uncalled for.
HAD A BASEBALL BAT.
A Would-Be MU«ioti Kobber Beats a

Mrs. Smith, 08 Su«f>ex street, Castro

Wilkinson yesterday thctntall man, with
a handkerchief covering the lower part of
his fac?, attempted to hold up her hus
band last Saturday night about 6:30
o'clock.
She said he wns on his way home and
was carrying a baseball bat for one o! the
children. As he was passing the quarry
at the Castro Addition the roan told him
to throw up his hands. Smith raised the
baseball bat aloft and the would-be robber
beat a hasty retreat.
The police do not place any credence

H. Hart new claimants to interests In the es
tate of the late Thomas H. Blythe will bob up

dent of Tweedmouth, England, who for the
best part of fifty years hits been following tho
tinsmith's busineis. The new clalmnnt is one
of the Vetholm pypsies, and he jibserts that
his father was a cousin to tue late California
millionaire. Attorney ilan says that this
man was represented in the late contest by an
attorney, ana has not evidently learned how
the cast was decided. At any rate Mr. Hurt
has no fenr of the new claimant, saying that

LYONS, France. Oct. 12.— A shepherd
named Vacher has been arrested at Bel
loy. Department of Am, forty-four miles

merly confined la an asylum for the in
sane. The series of murders already
credited to him have been actuated by
purely b!oo ithirsty instincts, as the vic
tims were all poor people. They were ter
ribly mutilated after their throats had
been cut and all the women were as
saulted.

THING ELSE I.VILKD,
Fatnfnl diseases are bad enough, but when a
man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness the mental forebodings are tea
times worse than the most severe pain. Ther»
is no let up to the mental suffering day or
, night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under
■uch a strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For year* the writer roiled and
tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness
until it was a question whether he had not
better take a dose 01 poison and thus end ail
his throubles. But providential inspiratioa
came to his aid in the shape of a combination
of medicines that not only completely restored
the jrenerai health, but enlsrged his weak,
emaciated parts to natural sise and vigor, ana
be now declares that any man who will taka
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 pose aa
an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men
suffering the mental tortures of weakened
manhood who would be cured at onca could
they but get such a remedy as the one that,
cured me. 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 ana
learn that there are a few things on earth
that, although they cost nothing to get, ara
worth a fortune to some men and mean a life-
time of happiness to most of as. Write to
Thomas Slater, box 2283, Kalnraaeoo. Mich.,
and the information will be mailed Id a plaia
teaied envelope.
