LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Benefit for Charleston Sufferers.

As already announced, the committee
appointed to procure aid in this city for the
relief of the Charleston sufferers has ac-
cepted the generous offer of the Clunie
Opera House management to give a benefit
for said fund, and the benefit will be taken
tomorrow Thursday evening. The
nouncement appears in another column
this morning, and it is hoped and believed
that the effort to swell the fund III this
manner will be agreeably and generously
responded to. The play will be Cad, the
Tomboy." in which Carrie Swain has met
with such great success, and brought
crowded houses for the week past. In adj
dition to the performance as heretofore
given, the Hussar band has kindly volun-
teered its services for the occasion, and will
render some Of its choicest and special Sc
~lections at intervals during the evening. In
this connection it may be stated that it has
been the earnest purpose of the committee
TO secure for the Charleston uufortunates
an amount which would be suitable for
SacramentO's donation, and creditable to
her, without appealing in the usual man
ner for large sums from the principal bust
ness houses, believing that the people
would %cheerfully bring forward, in a popu-
lar contribution Of small amounts, a desir-
able total. The receipts thus far justify
this view, and if the benefit tomorrow
night is freely supported, the Charleston
fund win no doubt be regarded as COM
pleted. An excellent committee of we'll
known business men has been appointed
for the disposal OF the tickets, consisting of
J. NJ. Milliken, J. +. Hobby and John
Funston. All will have an opportunity to
aid the cause by taking tickets, for which
TO extra charge will be made, but 10 cents
will procure reserved seats in the parquet
or dress circle.

The Dead Identified.

On Saturday, the 18th of this month, the
body of an unknown mar was found float
ing in the Sacramento, several miles south
Of this city, Oh the Yolo side. No one
identified the body, but the minute descrip-
tion of the deceased published in the
RECoRD-UNloN led to his identification.
Justice Scully, of Washington, who held
the inquest, has a%scertained by letters from
j. II. Hacke, proprietor of the Parker Ho-
tel at Winters, that deceased's name was J.
L. Gilcrest that for some time he was pro-
prietor of a saloon in the town Of Winters.
He was for a time a partner of Mr.. Hacke,
the latter buying him out some two years
ago. At that time he received 81, 500 in
cash. He had spent all his money. had
been " broke for a number of months, and
came to be looked upon as a kind of pro-
f~essional hummer. The last seen of him
was near the water front, in this city. Be
fore he left Winters he told parties with
whom be was acquainted that he contem-
plated suicide. His clothing was identi-
fed, and a cabinet-sized photograph of de-
ceased, sent to the Coroner, leaves no doubt
in the mind of that official as to his iden-
tity. He has a brother who is reputed to
be quite wealthy, the proprietor of a large
dairy at Half Moon BAY.

of Interest to Beneficiary Organizations.

OF Interest to Beneficiary Organizations.
Judge Reardon, of San Francisco, has
rendered the following decision III the case
| of Carrie /. Lucky VS.. the Grand Lodge of
the Ancient Order of United Workmen. 1t
will be interesting not only to members of
that Order, but of others that furnish life
insurance for members: 1t appears that
w. L. Lucky relied upon the promise of a
prominent member of Valley Lodge, of the
| Ancient Order Of United Workmen, that
his dues should be paid before q delin-
quency, which would require his re-examin-
alton by a medical officer. Any successful
| re-examlnation by the medical officer was
out of the question, as he was suffering
from an incurable disease-Brights disease
of the kidneys. The promise of the promi-
nent member of the Valley Lodge was not
kept and Lucky became delinquent. Subse-
quently he made efforts to pay his dues,
but an appeal from the Valley Lodge to the
| Grand Lodge resulted in a declaration by
the Grand Lodge that he could not rein
state himself without passing the re-exam-
ination by the medical officer. Regarding
the Valley Lodge as subordinate to the
Grand Lodge, as its agent, and as drawing
its law and authority therefrom, any action
| which the Valley Lodge might take in con-
travention of the declarations and dicta-
! tons of the Grand Lodge would be nuga
tory as to the reinstatement of the deceased
Lucky. For this reason, while the claim is
a difficult one, and one appealing to the
| charity of the Order for recognition, this
Court cannot step within the halls Of the
Order and lay down another and different
law from that to which the members have
bound themselves. The Court is therefore
compelled, in the present instance, to give
judgment for the defendant. at the same
time going out OF its way to recommend
the plaintiff to the charitable and equitable
consideration as well of the Grand Lodge as
of the Valley Lodge, Of the Ancient Order
| OF United Workmen."
