The report was accepted after amending
it 50 as to inclHde among the Executive
COMMITTEES men the names of Charles Ash
ton and 1. Il. Bonestell, memters OF the
Reporting Nominating Committee.
Presd Mt EaStand stated that since the
recent derlsi0n by Judge Sawyer the saloons,
as many il a block as th-y please, regardless
OF the consent OF objections made by reSi-
dents in III Il block, may obtain license to
sell liquors for a certain sum.
Rev Dr.. Stebbins said that his view,
which he presented IN an inteIrogatory man
ner, on the question Of the decision, Is that
it would b- in favor Of right, in favor of the
cause of high and restri tive license. He
stated tn Il the existence OF bad law Is
often the best meauS of getting good one,
and IN conclusion he adVocsteu the working
in the State Legislature of the many re-
stIicrive societies to prevent the passage Ut
the low license law.
Mr.. Suuer, Secretary of the Saloon Re-
StrctiVe Society, who was recently ap-
pointed to confer with the High License So
cIety a. TO lines upon which the two societies
can act in accord, stated that the two So
cieties should act whenever possible on the
same department and JON their respective
Influences. H advocated sounding the poll
IicianS on the question.
Major K. Z. hammond, Police Commits
Sioner, stated tn t formerly any applicant
for saloon license had to obtain a majority
vote of the Police Commissioners, or, falling
in that the permission of at least fifteen
frerhuderS living in that block, else the
license could noL be given. Judge SswyerS
decision reversed tits 80 that any man or
woman can get license It'll no conditions
imposed.
Major Hammond said that as soon as the
news of Judge Sawyrr's decision was re-
ceived by tile Police Commissioners steps
looking toward an appeal were taken and,
since such cases are caip.ble Of being brought
forward on the calendar, The case would soon
come up, but lie thought. the best means of
leSSenrng the evil is 10 try III make it i'm
possible ior w0Hleu 10 carry on or frequent

HORSEW WHIPPED.
The Sequel to a Nook Marriage at Terre
Hsute, Ind.

The Sequel to Nook Marriage at Terre
Haute, Ind.
There was sensational horsewhipping
in Carthage, near the C., III. and d. Station.
The principals were Mrs. John Morgan.
the wife OF quarryman, and the man on
whose face and shoulders she used the whip
with such telling effect was Tom Kissinger,
her brother-in-law, who is employed by the
Union Axle Company al Carthage.
The history Of the case whirh led to the
punishment is peculiarly sad as well as in
teresting.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Morgan met and
fell in love with Tom Kissnger, a machin-
ist. He persuaded her to accompany him
to Terre Haute, Ind, where a mock mar
rage ceremony was performed. They came
to this city. where he had secured empl oy-
ment, and lived happily together for ten
years, when her sister visited her.
On Christmas morning, shortly after her
sisters arrival, Mrs. Morgan lett the house
to make some purchases. When she re-
turned few hours later her husband and
sister we're missing, and on the table lay a
note. 1t was from her husband, and in it he
told her that they had never been legally
married; that the marriage ceremony per-
formed in Terra Haute was a mock one;
and he ended by telling her that as he loved
her sister better than he had ever loved
her he intended making her his wife. The
deserted woman did not hear of them again
for nearly five years, when she heard that
they were living at the corner of Second and
Smith strerts, i'll this city. Size called on
them and asked him to support her, but he
laughed at her and told her to get along as
well as she might Soon after that she mar
ried Jacob Penland. carpenter of this city.
After leading an unhappy existence with
him Tor nearly year, she secured divorce
and married her present husband. Last
December they moved to Carthage, where,
several months after ard, the man who had
so cruelty deceived her, aud his wife also,
went to live. The two families never had
anything to do with each other. Kissinger,
not satisfied with having deceived and de-
serted Mrs. Morgan, wrote letters to her
husband. saying that his wile's character was
not of the best. Mrs. Morgan bore with
this treatment as long as sue could. Kis-
singer kept on writing such vile letters that
she at last determined to put a stop to the
letter writing. Last night she lay in wait
for him and gave him terrible whipping
with a huge blacksnake whip. In the melee
she was hit on the head and otherwise badly
used up.
The affair created great excitement at Car
thage. occurring, as it did. at time when the

The monthly meeting Of the North Beach
Improvement Club was held last night, John
w. Wise presiding
1t was reported that the improvements. on
Lombard street. from Van Ness avenue to
the Preside, are approaching completion,
with very easy grades. The new grade
established at Van Ness avenue will obviate
tunnel through Lombard-street hill, on the
west half Of the block between Van Ness
avenue and Polk street, so that the proposed
tunnel can commence on half OF the block
west of Polk street.
The viaduct on Lombard street, between
Taylor and Jones, can commence at Taylor
street and enter the east portal of the tun-
mel halfway between Taylor and Jones
streets. thus leaving the west half of this
block intact on the surface of the street.
This will make 22O0 feet of main tunnel, "a

tunnel "a feet in width and % in height to

duct 408 feet

Stewart MenZies presented minority re-
port favoring all improvements with the
exception of tunneling Lombard street, also
emphasizing the fact that when Bay street
is completed there would be a continuous
drive from the sea-wal to the Preside, Obvi-
ating the necessity of tunneling Lombard
street. This minority report was unani-
mously adopted.

ing resolution offered by Mr.. Shirley:
