CLOSE EVIDENCE.
Old Man Carlson Identifies Burke as his
Tenant.

1tHaubs
CHICAGO November lst.-In the Cronin trial
to-day Martin Burke was positively identified as
Frank Williams, one of the tenants of the Carl
son cottage, by Annie Carlson, the daughter-in-
law of old Carlson. She stated that she was
present when the cottage was rented from her
father in-law by a man who gave his name as
Frank Williams She was then asked II she saw
the same man in the Courtroom, and II she
could point him out. Her hand went up, and
The index finger pointed at the face of Martin
A death-like stiffness followed. Every eye
was on the winnipeg fugitive" His eyes,
which had been riveted on the witness from the
moment she assembled the stand, remained there
and took on CLASSY look for moment. Then
he WINGED, aud the hot blood surged into his
cheeks until they were crimson.
CHICAGO, November list james Carlson was
recalled again this afternoon and told again of
the renting of the cottage to a man calling him
self Frank Williams, and subsequent events.
Then came the event of the afternoon session.
Mr.. Mills asked the witness how many times he
had seen the man calling himself Frank VIII
liams. Carlson replied three times
Mr. Mills then said: 81 will ask You if you
see that man now" Witness looked In bewil-
dered way to the back of the Court i'll an en-
deavor to pick out from the sea of faces before
him who he wanted.
Look back of the lawyers, Mr.. Carlson said
Mills, as the old gentleman hesitated. He had
hardly uttered the words when the witness,
walking straight up to the defendant, Martin
Burke, shook his hat at him and exclaimed;
That's the man."
| Despite the utmost efforts to appear uncon-

the damaging nature of man Carlson's tes-
| timony.
| Mills was not slow to clinch his advantage.

TRoTTING RACES.
The Events at the Bay District Track
this Afternoon.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 1st.-To-mOrrow
afternoon the Pacific Coast Trotting-h horse
Breeders Association will give days trotting
at the Bay District Track Ever since the rains
ceased large gang of men have been en-
ployed in getting the track into ORDER and in
this work they have been materially assisted by
the north wind which has been blowing for the
past day or two. 1t is hardly probable that the
track will be as fast as it was on the last
Wednesday before the storm, but on that day it
is question if there was faster track in the
United States. OF course, the rain 1nterfered
more or less with the work of the horses, but
for the past week they have been jogging
around the track, and even during the storm
they were given more or less exercise during
the few hours each day when the rain stopped
and the Park roads were utilized to some extent
for this purpose. The programme tomorrow
will be an excellent one and should draw forth
large crowd.
The first event will be mile and repeat, free
for all gentlemen's road horses (trotters), to Chi
cago cart; owners to drive. For S10U set of
harness donated by ]. A. McKerron.
The second event will be for the 30 trott1ng
class and the following entries have been made:
Thapsin, 2:22; Bay Rose, 2:201a; JUNO, I'D;
Emma Temple, Dbl.
The third race on the programme is for the
2:23 trotting class, with the following horses
entered: Arol 2:24; J. R., 224; Mona Y, 2:25;
Kitty Almont, 2:2254.
Between the heats of the above races the trot-
ting stations Palo Alto and Stamboul and the
9-year-old trotting wonder Sunol will be given

A SAD CASE.
Sorrowful Story of Young Mother in
New York.


New York.
NEW YORK, November 1st.-Mary Baron, 26
years of age, the mother of three bright chill
dren, and the wife of an old man of 10 odd
years. was taken to the insane ward of Bellevue
Hospital this morning in straight.ja jacket from
tenement in Twenty eighth street. Poverty,
hunger and trouble had driven her mad.
Nine years ago Mary Vas very handsome
girl, working for Baron. custom tailor. The
tailor is Frenchman. He was prosperous then,
and when he proposed marriage to handsome
Mary she accepted him in spite OF his 6S years.
Two years after their marriage she bore her
husband twins--two handsome boys. The
father was a wine drinker, and by degrees lost
his customers and his shop, and the family
came down to the level of top-foor fiat in q
rear tenement. Then sickness overlook the
tailor, and he has been for months IN the
French Hospital, his counGrymep taking care
of him. Mrs. Baron, with her three children
and her aged mother to take care Of struggled
along as best she could. The children cried to
her for bread, and she gave them her own snare
to stop their sobs.
II was losing battle, and the wolf won on
Wednesday, when Mrs. Baron began to show
evidences of insanity. The starving woman
laid down upon mattress in the sitting-room.
Suddenly she sprang up frantically and Rugged
the little baby against her with force that
would have killed it had not the grandmother
interfered. Weak and feeble as she was the
old mother struggled with the mad woman TOR
the possession of the child, which was rapidly
being strangled. By great effort she got the
baby away. Then she fed with it to rear
room.
Meanwhile the boys, awakened by the noise,
called to their mother to speak to them. She,
however, began laughing, and as the grand
mother appeared in the room the lunatic
pointed j5ering finger at her and burst out
into an old French song her husband had taught
her.
Mrs Baron seems to have imbibed bitter
hatred of her mother Suddenly. without a
word of warning, she sprang upon the mattress
and caught the old woman by the throat. The
little boys few to their grandmother's assist
ance. Irritated by their interference, the luna
tic dropped her mother and sprang upon the
boy Johnnie. His cries for help brought the
neighbors and Policeman Thomas, and proba-
bly, prevented a murder.

HOWARD RUSSELL JOHNSON.
The suit of His Wife is Allowed to Go
by Default.


SAN FRANCISCO. November 1st.-Another di-
vorce without publicity at the time of the de-
cree has given goSSips a chance to talk.
Than Howard Russell Johnson, step-son of
eX-Lieutenant Governor Johnson, few young
men are better known in San Francisco His
young and beautiful wife was Miss Isabel Ger
trude Forbes before she changed her name to
johnson. she was rich, accomplished and one
of the bellies of society. so that her wedding to
the talented writer Howard Johnson. in June,
1887, was society event and called out the
Four Hundred in force. After time whispers
of domestic nfelicity began to obtain promi-
hence, and il was said that only the pride of
husband and wife prevented divorce If this
was so. proud seruples were at length overruled,
for Judge Crouch. of Napa, last Monday granted
a decree separating the pair for life The di-
vorce was sued for by Mrs. Johnson on the
grounds of drunkenness and brutal treatment,
and the husband allowed it to go by default.
Colonel John 5. Mosby, the famous COnfeder-
ate guerilla chief, and ex-Consul to Hongkong
was the friend of the wife and her family and
at her fathers request, took her from irving
wood, the Johnson estate in Napa county, 10
her mothers home in Oakland. He says he
called at Iryingwood twice and on both ocea-
sions found Howard johnson drunk.
johnson says he was away when the default
was entered, and he denies that he ever treated
his wife harshly. He claims, on the contrary
TO have been the i'll. used party, and allows the
inference TO be made that the whole trouble is
due to the interference Of his wife's relatives.

Its Securities Are Dropping Almost Out
of Sight, but Not Quite.
NEW YORK, November 1st.-The drop of the
Sugar Trust certificates to 6914 yesterday has
only tended to again excite the holders in their
suspicion that some calamity is about to befall
the trust Everything tends to indicate that the
trust is in a bad way. They have lost nearly all
their surplus through bad judgment in buying
raw sugar, and they have been Obliged to sell
the refined for less than the raw cost them. The
fact that the Havemeyers have disposed of S.
100000 of their stock has also made the outlook
very discouraging for certifca'e-holders The
manipulators of the affairs of the trust through
their organs have been giving out some very
ridiculous figures.
One of the assertions made by the trust peo-
pie is that the original cost of the refneries OF
the trust was $4,000 600, and that Improvements
have increased the value of the plant to SZ0,-
100000. A careful estimate of the different val
ues, including the Improvements, has been
made by several prominent sugar manipulators
and they give theiI total estimated value at Sl3,-
900 000 at the utmost. From this amount they
deduct the loss of the Dick & Meyer refinery by
fire, the value of the North River refinery,
which has been dismantled, and the value OF
the American refinery, which has been sold
These will sum up full 100000, bring
ing down the total value of the plant to
So 100000. Another reduction is rumored as
| about to take place by the dismantling of an
other refinery The trust organ at Boston alleges
that the cash and cash assets" of the trust are
d" SIS, 900 900 at the outside" The cold fact is
| that they do not exceed S5000,0O0. This re
duces the Boston total value of trust property
from Si5 900 600 to Sl4 100000 and taking this as
basis, sugar certificates are not worth $50, even
| if they pay 10 per cent. dividends, which they
will not do much longer. In this same cOnnec
| ton the men who have been carefully studying
the trust refer to the sale of the American he
| fneTy at San Francisco to Messrs. Havemeyel
| and Elder. The amount of the sale of this prop
| erty was reported to be 81, 100000.
There was insurance to the amount OF $500,
| 600 on the Dick & Meyer property which wa:
| burned.
The question is now raised "What has be
come of that money! Has it been included
in the cash assets of the trust and does it figure
| as profits derived from everyday business trans
actions? The general belief is that 1t has beer
| included as above stated, and assertions to tha
effect do not receive denial from the trust peo
pie. If the surplus of 100000 includes these
| two sums, then the profits of the trust have
| dwindled down to IS 100000. The small item
| are of general interest and have been the caust
| of much conjecture among sugar men anC
| brokers.

wANAMAKER'S TARIFF.
The Western Union Kicks, But 1t Will
Accent.

NEW YORK, Nov ember 1st.-President Green,
of the Western Union, interviewed, says that
Wanamakers plan will make reduction of 40
per cent provided the messages are equally
distributed over the States and Territories If
the messages are not equally distributed, but a
majority under the 400 miles, reduI ton will be
increased.
The reduction on transcontinental messages
is $50 per cent An increase of over 700 per cent
has been made, however, over the original
proposition. Wanamakers first plan would
give the company only "a cents for forty-seven
typical messages. The Western Union did less
than 5000 900 worth of business for the Govern
ment last year. The reductions under Wanna
makers plan will lose about $4,000 for the
company.
This loss is comparatively of little conse
quence, but we might uphold the principle that
we are entitled to the profit on our business,
and that no one, not even the Government, has
right to expect us to suffer loss in his or its
service,
