Queen Natalie DiSinheritS Her SOn-Bll-.
fOuf'S Popularity in Scotland.

New York. Nov. Edmund Yates spe-
eial cableEram from London says: Queen
Natalie Of Servia intends to make Biarritz
her permanent residence and has taken the
Villa Ruiz. Natalie is reported to have
manifested resentment against her son for
his adherence to King Milan by making her
will by which she bequeaths her estates in
Russia, which are worth at least go, 900 a
year, to her sister. Princess SHEA
Sir Henry Wood has just returned from
Chicago much gratifiei at the result Of his
inquiries into the prospects Of the exhibit
ton there In 1898
Mr.. Balfour is at the present time without
doubt the most popular man in Scotland,
and this has been well shown by the Coun-'
Gil Of the University of Edinburgh
having unanimously elected him Chan
cellOr of the University as successor
to the late Lord President. 1t had been
expected that either Lord Rosebery or Mr..
hinnear would have run against Mr.. Bal
four, but their supporters deemed it the
most prudent course to let Mr.. Balfcur be
elected without opposition.
Michael Davltt announced on Thursday,
at Kilkenny. that he will not enter Parlia-
ment until the general election. Mr.. Davitt
and his friends have conceived the most
erroneous views of his position. He is dis
qualified from sitting in Parliament, as he
was sentenced to penal servitude, and on
being released before the completion of his
term did not receive free pardon from the
Crown.
The present year has proved fatal to all
three OF the Waterloo officers who lived to
celebrate their seyenty-fifth anniversary of
the battle in June, 1890. Lord Albemarle
died in February, but he was much younger
than either General Whlchote, who died in
September, or Colonel Hewitt, who passed
away last week

committing a similar forgery upon bank

shrewd and skillfu worker in the forgery
line. and. on his person were found blank
checks on various banks from Texas to
California. The cashier of the Bank of
Ashland to-day :cashed a check on an East
ern bank fer $500, presented by Hosg and
Endorsed by Rev. F. G. Strange of this
place, but became suspicious Of the sigma
ture of Mr. Strange, and upon investigation
found that it had been forged. The forger
still being in town was induced to return to
the bank and pay back the money until he
could have the check further Endorsed
Upon leaving; the bank he seemed to fear
that he was suspected and Immediately
started to walk Out:of town, but was over

FOR ADVANCE MONEY.
The War Between the Sailors Home an
the Rnardinr- Hnuae Masfera.

The War Between the Sailors Home and
the Boarding House Masters.
The fight in progress between the Sailors
Home and the Seamen's Landlord Associa-
ton is a bitter one, and the sailors who are
shipped at the present time stand a fair
chance to receive at least part of the ad-
vance money paid by the captains. OF
course the boardng-masters place all the
blame on the Sailors Home. declaring that
they will call the attention of the Grand
jury to the manner in which the place is
run. and that it is the only home in the
United States that sends runner off to
ships with bottle of whisky in his pocket
in order TO coax sailors to leave the ship.
The fact is that every runner that goes off
to a ship has Il bottle of whisky IN his
pocket, whether he is soliciting for the one
or for the other, and the home has never
had Superintendent that has run the in
st!tution as 1t should be, or there would be
no blood money paid, and the boarding
masters ring would cease to exist. Neither
the Sailors Home nor the harding masters
care a cent for the sailor, VINO will be
skinned IN either case until the present state
of affairs is abolished and no boarding
master allowed within block of the ship
ping office, whether he runs the home OF a
so-callrd boarding house.
As the thing stands now, 1t Is a fight OF
crimp against crimp, and whichever wins,
it will not be long before blood money is
demanded, as 1t always has been.

KICKED AND BEATEN.
Policeman John Gilfoy Assaulted
by Hoodlums.
He Receives Internal Injuries That May
Prove Serious-His Cowardly Assail-
ants Are Unknown.

1t was almost with the clutch of death
that Policeman John Gilfoy held Mike Cor
man last night while on the way to the
Southern Station in the patrol wagon. The
cause of this was a terrible assault on the
brave policeman and his near lapse into un-
consciousness. AT least lie was very dazed.
and as the patrol wagon ratified rapidly
over the cobbles he would clutch at his
prisoner, hold him for moment. then ap-
pear unconscious as his stertorous breath
announced great agony.
1t was after II O'Clock when Officer Gilfoy
saw German forcibly take a package of let
ter paper from cripple on the corner Of
Mission and New Montgomery streets. He
approached German with the request that
he pay the cripple. Instead German struck
him in the face. Then ensued struggle
that landed German on his back. and while
Officer GlfOy was trying to put the hand
cuffs on he Was assaulted by a couple of
tOughs.
They kicked him in the head and bowels
until Special Martin Tenancy came to the
rescue. The ASSISTANTS escaped. The pa
troll wagon was then teiephoned for, and
into it Officer Gilfoy placed his prisoner.
At the Southern Station Officer Gilfoy was
laid out on a bench until he had sufficiently
recovered to be taken home. His injuries
are almost entirely internal and may prove
very serious.
He says lie does not know his assailants
by name, but has seen them before and can
Identify them. German is notorious indi-
yidual, who has been charged with many
crimes. One of his friends is the we'll
known ''Split-l!p" Collins. whom, three or
four years since, Officer Gilfoy kept at bay
at the pistols point Tor half-hour in his
attempt to steal ballot-box. Collins
served year in the County Jail for that
offense.

THE MAVERICK CASE.
Attempt to Collect Her Husbands In.
SufanCe.

LONDON, Nov. 2.-In the Court of APP
peals the May brick case was commenced
to-day. Sir Charles Russell, in opening his
argument, said the appeal raised a most i'm
portant question. The plaintiffs for whom
he appeared were the executors for the late
Mr.. Maybrick, who had effected an insur-
ance of $4,000 with the defendants insur-
ance company in favor of his wife, Mrs.
Florence ID. May now confined in
Working Jail. The defendants. counsel
said. had paid on account $1,000 of the
amount claimed. but they refused to pay the
remainder. In support Of this refusal. he
said the defendants submitted the convic-
tion Of Mrs. Maybrick. This was not con-
elusive
Continuing, Sir Charles said: "On the
contrary, plaintiffs submitted the fact that
the sentence, ii committed, was not evil
dence of innocence" The real question, he
claimed. was whether Mr.. Maybrick had
effected q policy in favor of his wife and
whether. assuming he died at her hands,
this was any answer TO executors claims.
The ex-AttOrney- General then proceeded
70 cite authorities in favor of his cOnten-
non. The present appeal grew out Of a
Judgment given July 10Th last in an action
brought in the Interest of Mira. Maybrick
against the insurance association TO recover
$4,000 insurance upon her husbands life.
The court then decided that as Mrs. May
brick had been convicted of having MUIR
dered her husband she could not recover
the amount for which his life was insured,
as his death was caused by poison at the
hands OF the one for whose beueft the ac-
ton was brought.
The day after this judgment was rendered
a hlgn legal authority made the assertion
that the life insurance associations refusal
to pay Mrs. May bricks insurance on her
husbands life, on the ground that his death
was caused by her, would enable the con-
vlcted woman to bring out in a civil action
facts traversed in the murder trial, since
she could compel the insurance company to
proved that she murdered her husband.
This high legal authority is said to have
based his opinion on the fact that, accord
ing to the English law, conviction was not
proof between other parties, but only be-
tween the prosecution and the prisoner.

A POINT. GAINED.
Unsuccessful Efforts of the Residents Of Dan
vile Against Saloon License.


- vile Against Saloon License
MARTINEZ. Nov. "A large delegation
OF residents Of DInville, in this county. OF
both sexes, came down on the train this
morning and appeared before the Board Of
Supervisors with protest against issuing
license to:the only saloon in Danvlle. Ad-
dresses were made 10 the board by both
ladies and gentlemen asking the board not
to grant renewal Of the licen ,e to the
saloon man, He was represented by an
attorney from San Francisco, who con-
tested the legality of the proceeding. The
Board Of Supervisors of this county passed
an ordinance last year which requires that
an applicant for license to sell liquor
In less quantities than quart shall appear
before the board with a petition signed
by. six citizens and electors. If no
objections are offered the license is
granted. 1t has been the custom here
when it is desired to renew
license for the saloon man TO go to the Tax
Collector and pay the required amount,
500, aud the Tax Collector issues the
license without tire Board of Supervisors
Knowing anything about it, In this case
the saloon man had followed this course,
and his attorney claimed that custom made
Il law, and the board could not revoke his
license without the saloon man had violated
the provisions Of the ordinance. The board
conceded his point as well taken and in
formed the professionals that they would have
TO show Cause why the license should be re-
Yok ed, and gave them until Wednesday to
hte the information, which the protesttnts
agree to- Considerable excitement ana feel
ipg IS manifested in this matter, and the out
come Will be eagerly watched as it will pos
sibly affect other communities In this
county.

THE FINISH.

appearance. The teams were heartily
cheered by the crowd as they marched over
the cleats, especially the Americans. who
were strong favOrites. Before the order for
the struggle was given Referee Hammond
made speech. He said that the captains
of all the competing teams had signed a re-
quest that the Scotch team, having won all
victories, he given the first prize, and as the
judges made no objections the Scotch team
was awarded first prize, leaving Germany.
America, Norway, Denmark and Ireland to
tight 1t out for the remaining prizes.
The contest between the American and
German teams proved very exciting. The
Teutons gained the first advantage, but the
Americans had settled down 10 steady
system Of pulling and met the efforts of
their opponents with logged determina-
ton to win or die. IL was noticed that the
Americans had their old anchorman, who
had strained his right foot on the second
evening OF the struggle, making it necessary
TO put a new man in his place for few
evenings. Max Ernner, the terrible Prus-
sian, was anchorman for tina Germans, and
he did valuable service for his team.
The American team, by sheer grit and
staying qualities, succeeded in winning back
the few inches the Germans gained in the
early part of the game, and among the in
tereSted spectators who cheered for the boys
in blue was Colonel Graham of the Fifth
United States Artillery. The German team
worked like ITOjanS to defeat their lighter
opponents and the Precipitation ran down
their sun-tanued faces in streams as they
strained every nerve and muscle to remain
in the race for honor and gold. 1t was half
an hour before the white handkerchief at
tached TO the rope moved away from the
center mark.
Tine shouts of the spectators to Uncle
Sans boys to hold firm and not give way an
linen were many. The boys did hold with
will and struggled manfully against a han
dicap in weight, which their antagonists
possessed. Finally the Germans. by con-
slant heaving, managed tc win back their
former ground. the few inches they gained
in the start, and then there was a truce de
clared by both sides for few minutes. The
Germans finally had the white indicator
moving their way, and slowly they gained
inch by inch on their opponents until half
the distance was made.
At this iuncture the Americans made

that Sergeant soyer, who cap,ained tn

that Sergeant Soyer, who captained the
American team, was accused uDjustly of
selling out the American team. and that in
his opinion the Captain did all in his power
to pilot his men to victory. So far as
not giving the team the money it was
justly entitled to Mr.. Hammond could not
give any information, as it was matter
that he had nothing to do with, but apart
from that he said that he was willing to tes
tify that Sergeant Soyer did all in his power
to help his men to successful issue.
On the part of the American team it is
only proper and just to say that Frank Carl
ton, who was .positioned on the drop, and
who tainted after desperate struggle, de-
serves especial praise for his gallant efforts
to win victory against the celebrated Scot
fish team. The young soldier is thoroughly
deserving of unstinted praise.
