SAN FRAScIsco, June l. Captain
Edward R. Warsaw, we'll known in
years past as Commander in the service
Of the Pacific Mail. and later q prominent
stock operator, committed suicide this
morning by shooting himself through the
head. He was a native Of Vermont, aged
53 years. He has beer suffering from heart
disease for a long time past. and is sup
posed TO have been recently out of his mind.
The regular meeting Of the Goodshaw
Mining Company took place this morning,
and was conducted in a manner somewhat
out OF the usual routine. About 10o'clock
u motion was made by one Of the stockhold-
ers that the meeting be organized by the
election OF G.. L. Weller, Chairman. This
called for decided objection from Mr.. F.
Tagliabne. President of the company, and
Victor Fernbach, Secretary. The Presi-
dent insisted upon acting as Chairman.
and when the stockholders insisted upon
electing their own Chairman, Mr.. Taglia-
bue ordered the Secretary to take
the books and papers into the
next room. This was attempted, but
the stockholders prevented it. The
Secretary and President then withdrew
into an adjoining room. called q meeting of
their own and adjourned sine die. owing to
there not being q majority of the stock
represented. The stockholders in the other
room proceeded with the BUSINESS OF their
meeting by the election Of Mr.. Mckay Sec
rotary, who called the roll and found TO-
200 shares OF the total 100. 600 shares Of the
stock represented. Over so. 900 shares were
held in regular stock certificates, and the
balance in proxies. As this constituted the
actual certificate representation Of the ma
jority OF the stock the Chairman an
nounced that the election Of officers under
the provisions of the FELTON, bill, regulat-
ing ~stockholders' meetings, could be pro-
ceeded with. The Chairman appointed
Mes 'rs. Maine and Thompson t~ellers. and
the voting proceeded, each stakeholder
submitting his stock for examination, and,
when 1t had been entered casting his bal
lot and endorsing his name and the amount
OF stock he held on the back Of the ticket
deposited. The following were elected
Directors: Robert Sherwood. j. H.
Thompson, Joseph McDonough. j. r..

late Secretary and President. Messrs. Fern
bach and T~agliabue. sent formal notice to
III Bank Of California tina the annual
meeting had adjourned without doing any
business. By this means they hope to Sc
cure the banks repeal Of its proxies. which
are being used by stockhold, rs voting the
above ticket. This action, it Ia not at all
likely. will be taken by the bank. as the
meeting being held Is conforming In every
particular to the requirements OF the Eel
