Torn by Nltro-Gl.vcerlne.
The remains of Benjamin Mathews. recently
of San Pablo, are now at Brown's undertaking
parlors In this city, having been brought down
by. Ills bi oilier. J. C. Mathews. tbe architect
residing here.
M -thews met bis death In a most peculiar
manner it is supposed, on Monday last. He
was a single man, :ieed 69 years, and lived
alone near the San Pablo beach, where, in con
nection with a nephew named George Me-
Cracken, he was engaged in the chicken-raising
industry.
On Tuesday forenoon two civil engineers
came up to the little house in which .Ma thews
visited, and found the doors open and noticed
the place presented a rather neglected appear
ance. They started out to search lor the pro
! prieior of the place, and a little way off came
across the body of Mathews lying on the
ground. The remains presented a horribly ,
mutilated appearance. The llfsn was torn on
the face entirely, from chin to forehead, as
ibougta it had been lifted up and thrown back
over the bead.
. News or Matbews' death was at once sent to
the nephews of deceased at San Pablo— Austin
Mace and George McCracken.
Coroner Curry of Martinez was notified and
an Investigation was made.
From all that could be gleaned by the Cor
orner it was thought thai the old man bad been
killed by an explosion of nttro glycerine. It
was known thai he was in the bit. as am ail
the people thereabouts, of securing empty nitro
glycerine cans from the Vulcan Powder Works,
located near, which cans were used tor various J
purpose*. Mathews generally knocked the i
tops off the cans and used them to place water i
in for his chickens. Three such cans with the
tops kuocked in were found near, and a fourth
ran. badly shattered, was found near the body,
he hammer which was supposed to have been
.used was not found. It Is thought that this
fourth can contained still some hardened or
dried nltro-glyceriue, and that be struck some
of ii'ese particles and lb<s terrible explosion oc
curred.
Investigation showed that deceased liad also
had bis left aim and leg broken in the concus
sion.
It is thought that the accident occurred on i
Monday, but as to this there Is no certainly.
At 4 o'clock on that day some boys heard a re
port of an explosion fa the direction of Math
ews' place, aud it may have occurred at that
time.
An inquest will be held on Friday morning.
Seldou Hooper, a son of Major Hooper of the
Occidental, and George Foute, sod ot Rev. Mr.
Foute of Grace Church, were the two persons
who found the body.
They are eugaged with the Government
geological surveying patty, and while running
a line near San Pablo ou Tuesday they came
upon a slougn, to avoid which they made a de
tour around an old bouse in the neighbor
hood.
The body was found lying about three feet
from the building, and was badly mutilated.
The lower half of the man's bead was blown !
oil and his bauds and feet were also In a badly i
bruised condition.
The young men went ever to an adjoining ;
farmhouse and notified the people living there j
of the finding of the body, and word was sent !
to- the Coroner.
It was supposed that the dead man bad \
found a can of dynamite In the old house In
which be lived, and wuicb had formerly been
used as a place of storage for that article, and
in endeavoring to open the can with a chisel an
explosion followed, which caused bis death.
The Ghoit a Girl.
A frolicsome miss named Ella Peterson, liv
ing near the residence of the late John Brady,
on Linden street, has confessed to playing the
ghost and to have frightened the people In the
neighborhood.
Brady is the man who a few months since
killed Ins wife and himself in Father King's
church. He bad resided uu to that lime in a
little house on lower Linden street, and after
liis death the place remained vacant. It was
not long until strange whispers were about In
the neighborhood of uncanny happenings In the
Brady house. Then cries and screams were
li* aid in the house, and something white was
seen at the window.
The women and children In (he nt-lehborbood
were certain that the wraith of John Brady had
returned to earth.
Miss Peterson lives a short distance from the I
Brady bouse, and thought It would be fine-sport I
to play ghost. She accordingly secured m old !
white shirt, went into the house, held the shirt
up to a window ana began screaming. She says
now she fooled the children, most of the women
and a number of the men who reside in the
neighborhood.

and do minor can smoke cigarettes Id any rail
way car, street, alley, court or other public

pose what be termed the "fake medium" by
crabbing hold of one of the forms supposed to
be temporally visiting this teirestial sphere,
but which proved to be more material thau
supposed. The circle was broken, and Mr.
Taylor received a storm of abuse for his rash
act. He now proposes to carry the war Into
Egypt, and ha* engaged Professor Bell to speak
this evening In Linaerman'o Opera-nouse on
".Spiritualism vs. Fake Medium*," where Mr.
Taylor will preside and relate his experience of
the "ways that are dark aud tricks that are

PILING UP CHARGES.
Society for the Suppression of Vice
on the Warpath.
Frederick Andrew, husband of Mrs. Alice
Andrew, the keeper of a house of 111 fame on
Commercial street, was arrested yesterday by
Ofllcer P. A. Holbrook of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice on the charge of abduction
for immoral purposes. The girl< in the case
are Belle lirlffln and Lilly Merritr, for whose
abduction P. J. Sullivan was recently sentenced

of $800.
After the girls returned from Slssoo, where
Sullivan bad taken them, they w- re met at the
Oakland mole by Andiew and his wire and
taken to tbelr house on Commercial street, and
thJs is the basis of the charge of ab-Jucuou
against Andiew. .
Mrs. Andrew some weeks ago was fined $100
for keening the cirls in her bou«e. Slie was ar
rested by Detectives Gibson aim Anthony, She
was afterward arrested by the Society tor the
Suppression of Vice on the charceof abduction.
and the case was dismissed, it is more than
likely that the same course will be adopted in
regard to her husband's case.
Mrs. Andrew called ui>ou Chief Crowley yes
terday morning and made charges against offi
cers of the society of persecution and of at
tempted blackmail and dem iuded police pro
lection. The society not only took the girls
Gi and Merrill out of her house, but also
