TBE COMING INAUGURATION.
The Military of Various states GO-
ing to Turn Out.

WASHINGTON, November 2S.-- The in
cations are at present that the coming
inaugural procession will exceed in num-
bers and display anything of the kind
ever witnessed here before. General
Axline, Adjutant-General of the Ohio
National Guard, and other officers of the
Ohio militia, are in the city looking for
quarters for their troops. The Ohio Ma
tional Guard never has been represented
heretofore at the Inauguration, but it is
hoped to send a brigade of $500, COM
posed OF every arm of the service, to
General Harrison's inauguration. Cen
eral D. M. Hastings, Adiutant- General,
and General j. p. S. Goblin, Of the Third
Regiment Pennsylvania National Guard /,
who are in the city, said to-day, in addi-
ton to the large number of infantry sent
here from Pennsylvania four years ago,
the State would this year be represented
by a numbe of mounted men and artil-
lery. 1t is expected that large number
of Indiana troops will come on, including
General Harrison's old regiment, which,
it is said, will act as an escort to the
President. elect.

LOCAL GOSSIP,

A family quarrel in South San Francisco
to-day resulted in Ito Harrington shooting
Eaver McCloskey with double barrelled
shotgun. Twenty bird-shot lodged in
McCloskey's head. neck and shoulders
but as there was only small amount of
powder in the load, the wounds are not
dangerous.
The Secretary of the State Board of
Silk Culture states that 1000 pounds of
silk were made in California during the
past year.
Thanksgiving will be quite generally
observed in this city tomorrow.
J. H. Harris, land agent for the State
University and assistant secretary of the
Board Of Regents, is missing from
his home in Berkely, and his friends are
inclined to believe he has committed
suicide in some out-of-the-way place.
His work has always been satisfactorily
performed, but severe attacks of neural
gao pains have lately incapacitated him
for work and may have led to his death.
The residence of H. S. Bruner, a
postal telegraph clerk, was broken into
Tuesday and $500 worth of diamonds
taken 5000 worth of silver plate had been
packed up to take away, but the thieves
were probably frightened off, as it was
left behind. Detectives are disposed to
make light OF the alleged robbery.
Alfred Boothroyd, a truckman, 40
years of age, belonging to the knights
of Pythias and several benevolent So
cieties, was killed last night by falling

the MeSheS of the Law.
SAN Francisco, November 2S-The
action brought by VIM. Gruhn against
"Big Bertha" the confidence operator,
and her son Willie to recover $500 loaned
by plaintiff to Willie under alleged false
representations, and the repayment OF
which was guaranteed by "Big Bertha u
was concluded to-day in judgment for
the defendants.
During the trial one of the witnesses,
Mr.. Pinkert, proprietor of a well-known
bazaar in this city, whom Gruhn eX-
pected to prove that the loan had been
made, was sharply questioned by op.
posing counsel as to his knowl
edge of the defendants, and il
he had not taken Mrs. Stanley tc
dinner at the Palace Hotel or several
! occasions, and in fact that he became
so we'll acquainted with her tina,
he told her he would get g
divorce from his wife and marry
her if she would consent. Witness &C
knowledged taking her to dinner, bu
Indignantly repudiated the other sugges
tions, and, the court interfering in his
behalf, the matter was dropped.
TO BE TRIED IN Los ANGELES.
Eli Davis was arrested by Deputy
United States Marshal Farris, last eve
ming upon his arrival, overland
from Los Angeles upon information

will be returned to Los Angeles TO be
tried before the United States Court o.

correction OF the publication should be
offered the press. He stated that no ap-
plication for withdrawal of mem bership
from the G. A. R. had been made to
him, and he is the officer to which
such applications must come. That
80 far as the Indiana Department
decreasing in membership, the applica-
tions for permits for special musters to
iDi late new members have doubled
within the past two weeks; that during
| the late campaign the membership in
creased 300 in the very heat OF the con-
test, and that the roll just returned for
the last quarter shows membership OF
over $4,000. If any disaffection is
threatened for supposed political or other
causes, Col mel Walker says that neither
he nor the Department Commander,
General A. d. Vandosdol, are aware of
the fact, Members can withdraw who
are in good standing at any time by pay
ing their dues and requesting a dis
charge.
Colonel Walker admitted that it was
possible that Adjutant- General Koontz
and a small mum ber of other Democratic
veterans imagined they had grievance,
but denied emphatically that the G. A.
r. had in any way been turned into
political machine, and cited the re-
union Of regiment of veterans here
during the campaign where there
was one Democratic member pres
ent, and out of consideration
for his political views, the three hundred
others refrained from offering a resolu-
ton to visit General Harrison in body,
and they consequently called as citizens, |

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
INDIANAPOLIS, November 2S.-Every
day now witnesses the arrival of fresh
batch of distinguished statesmen and
politicians making their pilgrimage to
the big brick fenceless house on Della
ware avenue. Among the President
elects visitors this forenoon were Sena-
tor G. &. Farwell and General Martin,
Chairman of the Illinois Republican
Central Committee. They came from
Chicago on an early train, and were ac-
companied by Colonel Fred. Grant. The
party made very hasty trip, driving out
to General Harrison's Immediately after
breakfast, remaining with him about an
hour and half, and on returning they
went direct to the depot, embarking for
Chicago at IL :55. They moved with
such alacrity that the newspaper cor
respondents had to throw out picket
guards, 50 to speak, to capture them,
only to find them dumb as oysters on all
Cabinet themes or Presidential policies.
Senator Farwell, in telling his impress
sion of General Harrison, remarked that
ue ndu d DlS Heau anu d CiOse HOutu.
The evening train from Cincinnati
brought two distinguished pilgrims from
Ohio in the persons of Hon. NJ. A. Hama,
of Cleveland, and Congressman Ben
Butterworth, OF Cincinnati. They had
conference with the President-elect at
80 this evening, remaining in consulta-
ton several hours. The we'll known init
mate relations of both gentlemen,
especially Mark Hama. with John Sher-
man contributes much interest to their
visit, and lends color to the theory that
the President-elect is making something
of study of the intricacies of Ohio
politics, but to what purpose can only be
conjectured.
General Harrison up TO date has had
mountain named for him, two big gas
wells, a new variety OF apples and forty
four babies. Mrs. Harrison held her
first weekly afternoon reception to-day,
assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Mckee,
and her guest, Mrs. Brown, daughter of
ex-senator Davis, of West Virginia.
Among the ladies who paid their
respects were Mrs. Denny, wife of Mayor
Denny; Mrs. Halford, wife OF Private |
Secretary Halford, accompanied by Mrs |
Everett Cham berlain, of Milwaukee, and |
others.

NEITHER HEAD NOR TAIL.
Mr.. MatsOn Refutes the Ridiculous
Lies About Him.

Mr. MaSSOn hc1uteS the ktlOlCutOuS
Lies About Him.
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-Referring
to the published statement that Congress
man Matson is believed to be at the
head of movement to organize Dem
ocratic Grand Army OF the Republic.
that gentleman says be knows nothingof
it except what he has read in the news
papers, and consequently he is not at the
head or any other part OF the affair. The
other statement in the dispatch, that his
Palmers course and withdraw from the
G. A. r he says is also without founda-
ton. He never was a member of the
organization, and therefore cannot with
draw. During the campaign a Matson
and Myers Regiment of Veterans was
formed in every county in Indiana, and
it is probable that these organizations
form the basis OF the new movement in
that State, but of this he could not
speak with authority.
Following is the dispatch alluded to in
the interview:
INDIANAPOLIS, November 2S.-Excite-
ment still continues over the report that
about 200 Democratic vete; ans, mem
bers Of the Grand Army of the Republic
posts scattered throughout the State, held
III the Capitol building secret meeting,
at which it was resolved that every DEM
ocratic member of the Grand Army of the
Republic should abandon tie order, and
that all present pledged themselves to
withdraw from their posts. 1t is also re-
ported that letters have been received
from other States showing that the move
ment threatens to become national.
1t is generally believed here that Con-
gresham Matson, the defeated candidate
for Governor OF Indiana is at the head oi
the movement, but 80 far he has made
no public statement. 1t is known that
he feels very sore because of the belief
that the Grand Army of the Republic as
an organization worked against him, and
his friends here say that he will follow
the example of General Palmer of Hi
nois. A few Grand Army men seen were
inclined to treat it as small matter
saying they did not think it would prove
to be anything of moment.
FULL EXPLANATION.
The following, sent out from Indian
apolis bv the Associated Press last night
fully explains the foundation for the
gossip:
That a full regiment OF veterans shoul'
have held such a meeting as alleged
without the local press discovering thei
presence in the city, seemed incredible
and nowhere was the publication
fresher news item than right here a
home. Investigation shows that sixt
Democratic veterans held quiet meet
ing at the rooms of the Adjutant-Ger
eral last night and discussed the sui
ject of Withdrawing from the q. A. 4. Q
alleged political grounds. Colonel }. NJ

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, November 2S.-At the
next meeting Of the State Board of Trade
resolutions, it is said, will be presente d
for adoption, containing a memorial to
President-elect Harrison, asking that the
Pacific coast be represented in the
Cabinet which he will soon form.
This matter has been discussed freely
by certain prominent members OF the
Executive Committee of the Board. The
memorial will be forwarded to the Presi-
dent.elect by the Pacific Coast represen-
tives in Congress, and will set forth in
some detail the arguments favoring the
desired appointment. 1t will be urged
that such request is not without his
toric precedence, and that this coast,
which now is about completing its
half century of wonderful progress and
loyalty to the Union has especial claims
of recognition among the advisers of the
President, and that such appointment
would be a recognition of the peculiar
interests possessed by this Coast. 1t will
distinctly set forth that the petition is in
the interest of no special candidate
named or announced.
ANOTHER GOOD MOVE.
The propriety of adopting another
petition to be forwarded to Congress is
also being discussed requesting action
by Congress relative to the coming CEN
sns of 1890, asking that new feature be
embraced in the collation. and prepara-
tion of various facts OF National interest.
This feature would embrace statistics and
facts relating to the clim-
attic conditions OF the various States and
Territories, and the products thereof. 1t
is felt that if this were done, California
could secure no better announcement of
her advantages and possibilities.

Room For the Leper! Room!

SAN Francisco, November 2S.-Dr. G.
G. O'Donnell, Ind, filed a contest Of
the election of E. B. Pond, Dem, as
Mayor OF San Francisco, in the Superior
Court this afternoon. The contest is
upon the grouud of malconduct on the
part of the judges OF the several pre-
cints. The contestant is informed and
believes that Pond didn't receive the
highest number of legal votes for Mayor,
but that contestant (O'Donnell) did, but
by the malfeasance of the election judges
the votes cast for other candidates for
said Office were given to Pond, and it is
believed 1850 votes belonging to con-
testant were ALEC given Pond, or sufficient
to defraud contestant of his election.
Judge Finn, of the Superior Court, has

RACINE, Wis, November 2S.-The
condition of Jay-Eye-See, the celebrated
trotter, which nearly bled to death in
pasture from cut inflicted by piece of
glass, is still very critical. The animals
life will probably be saved if hemorrhage
does not set in again.
HE WILL NOT DIE.
CHICAGO, November 2S.-The Inter-
Ocean's special from Racine, Wis, says
Hon. j. l. Case, in speaking to-day of
the accident to his famous gelding, Jay
Eye-See, said "The main artery in the
leg was completely severed and streams
of blood as large as q pipe stem spurted
out, but the hemorrhage has been
stopped. DIR. Williams was up with the
horse all night. The gelding is still very
weak, but unless the artery breaks again
he will recover, and I am confident his
speed will not be lessened by the acci-
dent. If it breaks again, however, he
will doubtless die."
| Local horsemen think there is danger
of the gelding becoming blind from the
excessive loss of blood. Ed Bittner
driver OF Jay-Eye-S See, said: "The
gelding will not die. If he does l will
die too"
