Hopeful.

The extradition case of Martin Lud-
wig Rieschke, the German who was mys-
teriously kidnapped from the city, was
to have come before the federal court at
Galveston on Monday, but owing to the
absence Of several important witnesses
the case was adjourned to wait their ar
rival.
This case will be fought to the bitter
end, and the friends of Rieschke are con-
fident that he will not be extradited.
The arrest was made at the instigation
Of the German consul of Galveston,
Julius Runge, and was based upon in.
formation supplied by the man Bauer,
also of this city, and not upon a govern
ment requisition from Germany.
Bauer's testimony, 1t is said is all the
evidence there Is against him and the
prisoners lawyer hopes to prove that
Bauer's record Is SO bad as to make him
unreliable and to show that he has ne
farious motive In causing Riesohke's ar
rest.
A number of witnesses from San An
tonic are in Galveston, waiting to give
testimony In this case.

Deadlock in Union Labor Conven-
tons.
CINCINNATI, May 16.-Two labor con-
ventions will be very slow to assemble
today. Both will be in deadlock, be-
cause they have appointed q conference
committee, and because that committee,
has not agreed upon final
report. The conference committees had
long session last night, continuing un-
til a.ier o'clock. It is represented :
having been q harmonious meeting,
when steps toward agreement were
made by mutual explanation and
by mutual willingness to unite.
The United Labor men find Ii
impossible to yield their idea of single
land tax. They were very favorable to
me 1ificatiOn, which would provide for
exempting from all tax, such part Of q
mans real estate that was essentially q
homestead. This concession was re-
ceiVed faVOrAbly.

The San Antonio Boys have a SucI
cessful but Adventurous Trip.
Messrs T. II. Abbott, 81. Coleman, A.
Baldus and Phil. MaDger senior dele
gates to the State Firemen's convention,
returned home yesterday. The boys
were heartily welcomed by the conven-
ton as 1t is the first time in eight years
that the local fire department has sent
delegates to the annual convention, and
they were honored by appointments
npOn two committees. The convention
was harmonious, useful and Satisfactory
one.
The boys had rather a rough time OF
1t going down. At Taylor they were
detained seven hours by q freight train
wreck two miles from Taylor, and they
feared that the delay would make them
lose the Texas Pacific train from Fort
Worth to Ell Paso. The train waited for
them. however, and they congratulated
themselves on their good fortune, but
at Big Springs the train had to stop as
the track was under water for between
two and three miles distance. The
passengers had to wade through the
water, and after Is hours delay were
taken to their destination, arriving
there on the second day of the conven-
ton. At Big Springs the boys went
hunting, caught q prairie dog. At Ell
Paso, they got silver COLLAR for 1t. The
delegates bought o gold chair and pre-
sented 1t to the FL Pas0 fire department

Decided Against Henry George.

90 7fS tREIIoI TFCTIT SCOT = Cs
TRENTON, N. j., May 16.-Vice-chan-
oellor Bird yesterday decided the case OF
Hutohing's heirs vs.. Henry George. The
clause in the will, leaving Henry George
bequest for the purpose of aiding him
to bring into circulation his peculiar
ideas and theories among the people,
was declared void. The point made by
the contestants was that 1t was neither q
charitable, benevolent or educational
bequest. The court said that George
adv Gated practices with respect to real
estate, in violation of the laws OF the
land. He could not sanction the spread
ing Of such sentiment. The will Is
therefore broken.

THE MIkADO,

Presented by the Templeton Com
pany as Never Before in
San Antonio-The
Great ko-ko.
The price of seats at the Grand opera
house last night was too cheap for the
merit Of the performance. The Temple
ton Opera company which poses simply
as light opera company, presented the
authorized version of the MikadO in its
entirety, and never was an audience
more pleased or better repaid for attend
anoe than last night. The scenery was
fine and perfectly true to Japan. The
costumes are elegant and appropriate.
The chorus and entire company have
splendid voices and the ladies are pref
tier than the average opera singer. In
the Interpretation of the lines of the
opera, Mr.. ALI. G. Whelan as Ko-Ko,
Mr.. John Reed as Mikado, and Mr.. Jere
Sykes as Poo-Bah approach very closely
to the tragic school In the faithfulness
of their work. The Ko-Ko Of Mr.. Whelan
is without q parallel on the stage OF
America. He Is par excellence, and so
far above any one who has ever attempt
ed to play this difficult comedy part as
to be superior to criticism. In his sing
ing, which is in an excellent baritone,
and in bis comedy acting and little local
"business," he pleased the audience and
kept them In a continual roar, while
his makeup" was magnificent.
Poo Bah was stately and the sonorous
bass of Mr.. Sykes was very pleasing both
in speech and solos, while MIR. Reeds
Mikado was fierce and grand, and his
singing was fine. The Nsnki-Poo of
Mr.. G. Hsrtly was we'll acted and sung,
but his tenor was entirely too light for
the soprano Of Miss Herminie Pelaoio,
as Yum Yum, and was pitched
too high. 1t is clear but not flex-
ible. Mr.. r. H. Dean as little
"Sol-Fa" the page of the Mikado,
was q fine piece Of psntomime and make
up and pleased the audience.
The ladies deserve special mention,
the Yum-Y Of Miss PelaoiO being
well acted and we'll sung. She has q
pretty face and form, accompanying q
fine soprano, and her Interpretation of
tlemen's. Miss Agnes Sherwood as
Pitt Sing, one of the "Three Little
Maids" captured the audience, and
they gave her hearty encores. Miss
Blanch PAUL., the other 'little maid,"
carried her part well.
The Katisha of Miss Alice Vane was
q surprise to her old friends who knew
her ten years ago in San Antonio when
she was here with the Fay TemplerOn
Dramatic company. They little knew
what a fine voice she has. She makes q
splendid Katisha.
Mr.. John Templeton, who was great
favOrite In San Antonio years ago,
when lie played Rip Van Wrinkle and
other leading parts, is with the COM
pany as manager. He Is not older In
appearance, and Ia the same genial gen.
tleman we know Of old.
Tonight the company will play the
"Msscotte." A matinee will be given
Saturday.

Afraid OF Her Life,

In Justice Kings Court yesterday after
noon, Mrs. Ethel Williams, OF 80 Leroy
street, swore out warrant for the arrest
of Enoch r. Williams. She stated in
her complaint that her husband had
threatened to kill her, and that on the
Goth instant he made an assault on her
with large knife and might have killed
her had he not been prevented by the
neighbors. Mrs. Williams is tall and
slender woman, a demi-brunette, and of
refined manners. Williams is the man
who some two months ago was appointed
on the police force and in few days dis
missed for drunkenness while on duty.
Shortly after his dismissal he lost his girl
baby, and the officers of the force con,
tributed to defray the funeral expenses
Since that time it seems that Williams
has been going directly to the bad. Viii
liams was arrested at about O'Clock
last night on a warrant, by Officer Duig-
non, and was locked up in the city jail

THE LAST SAD RITES.
Obsequies of Mrs. Sara De Puy
Yesterday.

Obsequies of Mrs. Sara De Puy
Yesterday.
All was ended now, the hope and the fear and
the sorrow,
Allthe aching OF heart, the restless unsatished
longing,
All the duh, deep pain and constant anguish
OF patience.
The funeral Of Mrs. Sara De Puy,
whose sad death was fully related in the
HERALD Of yesterday, took place at 2
O'Clock yesterday afternoon at the family
residence, No. 1873 South Hill street.
The ceremonies were conducted under
the beautiful ritual of the Eastern Star
Degree. Rev. VIM. Knighten, chaplain
OF the Order officiated. The services
opened with hymn by the Unitarian
choir-H. E. Lloyd, Mr.. Simpson, Miss
Large and Miss Stowe. DIR. Knighten
read a portion of the Ninetieth Psalm,
and portion of the fifteenth chapter Of
First Corinthians. The pastor paid a
touching tribute to the memory OF the
departed, and eulogized her loving and
Christian character in pathetic manner.
He also spoke in glowing terms of her
charities and the good work Of her life
as exemplified in many acts, and es-
pecially mentioned the great services she
had done in connection with the estab-
lishment and support Of the Orphans
Home.
DIR. Knighten also offered a fervent
prayer for the unfortunate husband, who
sat at the foot Of the coffin greatly over
come with emotion. He prayed that
God might lend His almighty power to
enable the distressed husband to bear up
under this sad and terrible affiiction, and
give him strength to lead a more perfect
life in the future.
After prayer the choir sang another
hymn, when the remains were taken to
Evergreen Cemetery, followed by long
line of conveyances, occupied by the
many friends and acquaintance OF the
deceased.
Many appropriate and elaborate floral
tributes were placed upon the coffiu by
loving hands. Among the pieces was a
beautiful star, eighteen inches in diame-
ter, presented by the Order OF the East
ern Star. A beautiful pillow of flowers
was presented by the Orphans Home.
The Misses Barrows presented wreath
OF choice flowers.
At the cemetery the remains were in
tered under the services of the Eastern
Star, and the last act OF the sad tragedy
was over.

WHERE Is THE BEER?
A COnundrum which is Hard TO
answer.

A COnWndrum Whtch Is harO TO
answer.
Several OF Mr.. M. A. Newmark's s
employees are now in the labor market in
search of other employment. 1t is stated
that in the course of his business, Mr..
Newmark handles large quantities of
beer, which is shipped in barrels con-
tanning six dozen bottles. On Monday
an order reached the establishment for a
large quantity OF the alcoholic fluid, and
Mr.. Newmark went into the storerooms
while it was being sorted out. While
looking about he found that one OF the
barrels which should have been full was
empty, and becoming suspicious, he
examined another with like result.
Investigation showed that in all, the con-
tents OF six dozen barrels had been stolen
and endeavor was at once made to
locate the thieves. This proved to be
rather hard thing to do, but, in order
to avoid further peculations, six men
who might possibly have been the Of
tenders were discharged.
Mr.. Newmark appears to be singularly
unfortunate in this respect. Some two or
three years ago one OF his men asked
for permission to take home barrel Of
hlliullls WOOu OCCdoiOuhiiy. Ills Tcluest
was granted and at intervals barrel was
loaded on one of the drays and the driver
told to leave it at the residence OF the
boon-granted individual. One morning
as Mr.. Newmark was standing outside
his place he noticed one of
these barrels, evidently loaded
with chips. being hauled up
the street. He asked the teamster where
it was going and he said that Mr.. -,
mentioning the name OF the applicant for
chips, had asked him to leave it at his
residence. "Well, l want some kindling
wood up at my own place." said Mr..
Newmark, ''take that up there and you
can haul Mr.. IS some other time"
The teamster did as directed and strange
to say, when Mr.. Newmark' s cook dumped
the barrels contents into the fuel cellar
he found that the bottom OF the cask was
filed with canned goods, hams, etc. 1t
is needless to say that the dishonest
though favored individual received his
walking papers the next morning.

OF communes and persons Of communes,
and persons of small means from taxa
ton, would be possible. The King con-
cluded bis speech with the quotation from
Frederick the Great, "The King is the
first servant Of the State"
The opening Of the Landtag was ac-
companied by an imposing ceremonial,
similar TO that observed when the
Reichstag met. The White hall OF the
old castle was again the scene of the
ceremony. The King entered the hall,
followed by the Royal Princes. The
Queen and Princesses occupied dais to
the right of the throne. The members Of
the two Houses OF the Landtag were
stationed opposite the throne. The
members OF the Upper House on the
right and those OF the Lower House
on the left side. AS soon as
the King arrived the President Of the
Upper House proposed cheers for him,
and they were given with enthusiasm.
The King did not remove his helmet
while reading his speech. The chief pas
sages of his address were louded ap-
plauded. When he had finished the
King extended his hand to Prince Bis
marck, who, bowling low, kissed it. Af-
ter towing to the assembly the King left
the hall amid enthusiastic cheering.

A SWEEPING CUT.
Tho 500, Line Reduction of
Transcontinentai Rates.

New York, July PA further and
very sweeping reduction has been openly
made by the $500" line, lowering rates
on first-class freight to st. Paul and
Minneapolis, to 60 cents per hundred
pounds, So cents on second-class, 43 cents
on third, 80 cents on fourth, % cents on
fifth and 20 cents on sixth-class. This
being strictly all-rail route the rates are
far lower than the bottom rates yet
given by any other line, and as low
as the rail and lake route to those points.
The route is over four different roads,
New York, Ontario & Western, Rome,
Watertown & Ogdensburg, Canadian Pa
cifc, Minneapolis, Sault Saint Marie &
Atlantic. This makes not only the iow-
est possible rate to those points, but also
reduces the rate to Pacific Coast points
via st. Paul, the local rate from there to
Portland, Ore, and San Francisco being
only $3.50, thus making first-class rate
of SO 40 or via the Canadian Pacific
$3.25, as against the regular Transcon-
tinental Association rate of $4.

Fritz AnschIag,

1t was intimated yesterday that Fritz
Anschlag, who is under sentence Of death
on charge OF having murdered Mr.. and
Mrs. Hitchcock at Garden Grove, had
managed to obtain and conceal some poi
son in his cell. Jailor Russell instituted
a strict search for the drug but could not
find any trace of it. He succeeded, how
ever, in unearthing large ball OF string
which Anschlag had collected from time
to time. 1t will be remembered that
some time ago Anschlag was detected in
an attempt to escape, and that at that
time he also had ball OF string on his
person.

The Pest House Question

Regarding the use of Elysian Park for
a Pest House, Mayor Workman has re-
ceived the following letter:
OFFICE OF THE Cry ATTORNEY,
Los ANGELES, June 26, 1851
Hon. W. II. Workman, Mayor Of Los
angeles:
In reply to yours of the 23d inst, 1
must report that no facts have been pre-
sented to change my opinion as given on
a former occasion, on the question of
dedication of Elysian Park lands.
Vol. %, City Records, page 675. You
will, however, find in Miscellaneous
Records of Los Angeles County, Book
one (D, pages 467 and 46S what might be
considered dedication OF these same
lands to the public as stone quarry, re-
serving right of way OF wagon road
over the lands lying in the center OF the
Park.
Whether this use was extinguished or
had ever been accepted by the public is a
question | assume was decided py the
Mayor and Council by the passage of
Ordinance No. 21S.
In reply to your second question, l
must answer that the negligence OF the
City officials to perform the trust en-
joined by the act OF dedication does not
effect it; the trust remains the same
though not executed.
If the Council should determine the
Pest House an improvement on the
present state of affairs, see no objection
to an exercise Of this judgment l
venture it as an opinion mot legal), that
if improvements of the grounds progress
as rapidly in the future as they have in
the past, through the long vista OF CEN
turies, generation after generation will
turn their admiring eyes from the crumb-
ling lodges and stately sage brush to the
genius, industry and aestheticism that
prompted the transposition of rugged
and unprolific mounds of rock to an
Elysium. J. G. DAILY, City Attorney.

with criminal libel, was continued before
Judge O'Melveny and jury yesterday.
The witnesses heard were on behalf OF
the defendant, who endeavored to prove
by them that the alleged libel complained
OF was true and published for iustifiable
motive. Only one witness was placed on
the stand in rebuttal and he was not al
lowed to testify. The jury found YER

utes after the matter was given into its
hands. Another charge against B. A.

II. +. Rupert, OF Long Beach, yester-
day in Justice Kings Court swore out a
warrant for the arrest OF L. House.
From the complaint it appears that
House had assaulted Ruperts daughter
Nsoma with gun with intent to commit
murder. The parties were very reticent
about the affair and it is likely to turn
out a case where love did not run
smoothly.
