THE COIN CASE.
STORIES ABOUT DELFINA AND
SENIOR DOMINGO.
Miss Henrietta Meyers Again-Testimony
as to the Contestants Relations with
Domingo-The Evidence Given by the
Two Sanchez Brothers.

The hearing in the Cohn contest was
resumed in department one yesterday
morning, after Judge Clark had dis
posed of his law calendar. The re-
spondents are still hammering away at
Delfna's character and have brought
out some sensational features. III, The
case goes along very slowly, and from
the present prospect is ,Hkely to take up
the remaining days OF the year.
When the respondents started in with
their side of the case they put on wit
ness who gave the opinion that A. j.
Domingo, the man who witnessed the
famous contract Of marriage, and Del
fina carried on relationship during the
time she was living with B. Cohn. Sew
eral witnesses testified that Miss Henri
eta Meyers, a young lady who resided
at Del6na's house some years ago, and
claims to be sincere friend of the con-
testant. told them that Delfna had
more OF claim on Domingo than upon
Cohn, and laughed at the idea of Del
tina claiming Cohn TO be her husband.
This young lady testified at the open
ing of the case in behalf of the contest
ant, and at that time she swore that she
saw the marriage contract soon after it
was signed. Her testimony does not
agree in any particular with what the
witnesses for the respondents accredit
her with saying.
Winsbaugh Sanchez was called as
witness when the hearing was begun
yesterday morning. He claims to know
a great deal about Delfina's relations
with Domingo, and swore that he saw
her 60 to Domingo's room several times.
Domingo was employed in an undertake
ing establishment. and the witness
swcre that he was there very frequently.
Mr.. Sanchez appears 10 have very
good memory, for he ratified off dates of
occurrences OF several years ago as
though they took place but week ago.
On the night of May 20, 1889, he had
gone out to get bottle of whisky for a
friend and happened to pass by Delfina's
residence on Buena Vista street. He
saw Domingo emerge from the house.
1t was about midnight.
On cross-examination the witness
stated that he has worked in Pomona.
In response to question by counsel,
Sanchez stated he knows a certain woman
who is generally called Theresa. Coun-
sci endeavored to prove that he main
tanned intimate relations with the
woman, and witness finally stated that
he lives in the same house with her.
Thomas Sanchez, who was employed
in the same establishment as Domingo,
swore that he and the latter had
discussed Delfna's relations with Cohn
after his death. According to the wit
ness, Domingo acknowledged his rela-
tions with Delfna and stated frankly
that he was the father of one of her
children. He also stated, so the witness
said, that Delfna and Cohn were not
married.
The witness often went with Domingo
to funerals at the cemetery on Buena
Vista street, and very frequently Do
mingo would stop at Delinas house ON
the return trip, leaving witness to go
back alone.

A MILLIONAIRE'S DANGER
ANOTHER ATTEMPT ON RUSSELL
SAGE'S LIFE.
A Dynamiter Gains Entrance to His Res
idence, Is Caught and Throttled by
Plucky Mrs. Sage and Thrust Out of
the House.

New YORK, Dec. 21.-Russell Sage,
whom bomb-thrower Norcross tried to
kill with dynamite, has again been
threatened in a similar way. Saturday
night wild looking young man rang
the bell and forced his way by the
woman servant, saying: 81 have come
to kill Sage" Mrs. Sage heard the man
and came down. He told her he had writ
ten letter demanding $2500, and must
have it at once or blow the house up.
The man had scarcely said this, when
Mrs. Sage, fragile as she is, rushed for
ward. She made one quick dash at
him, caught at his throat, and fastening
her fingers into his neck, held him for
moment with such grip that his pale
face became almost black. Then she
thrust him out of the door. The house
is now guarded night and day. Russell
Sage. jr., is very i'll, and is sinking to-
night

A DOUBLE FAILURE.
A. Lusk e. Co. and j. Strauss Go to the
Wall.


SAN Francisco, Dec. 21.-The firm OF
A. Lusk & Co., dealers in canned and
dried fruits, were attached this morn
ing by the Bank of California for $780,
600 for moneys advanced. Three at
tachments for amounts aggregating
$16 1000, were placed by other creditors
against j. Strauss, wholesale dealer in
glass and crockery, who had in
dorse Lusk's paper to the amount
of $4,000. The creditors of Strauss,
representing claims aggregating $66, 900,
met Saturday and decided to take
Among Strauss creditors is the London
owes a numbers of firms in addition to
the Bank OF California, but no state
ment of the firms liabilities has yet
been made public.
AS the result of the attachments lev
led today on the A. Lusk Canning COM
pany and Strauss & Co., the Sather
bank levied an attachment for $4,000
on the California Automatic Can COM
pany, branch of the Lusk company.
Isidore Jacobs, president OF the can
ming company, which is an incorporated
concern, ascribes the company's tinan-
cial troubles to outside Investments,
such as the establishment Of factory
for making cans and also extensive or
chard planting at Marysville, Cal.
The failure of Strauss, in whose BUSH
ness Jacobs said he was indirectly
interested, also fastened foreclosure.
Three hundred employees will be thrown
out of work by the closing of the can
ming factory. Jacobs stated chat the
company would endeavor to resume OPP
erations shortly. He believed the assets
would be sufficient to cover the liabili-
ties, though he had no statement OF
resources ready.

ADJUSTMENTS.

It did not take the audience at Mine's
long to catch on to U and !. They began
laughing before the curtain was fairly mn
and they never ceased, even for breathing
spells, until the acts were finished. Il was
a great audience in point of numbers.
Long before the curtain rose the house was
iammed to the doors, and a hundred or
more people were unable to catch more
than a glimpse Of the stage.
Nothing is more tiresome than a poo
farce comedy in poor hands, something for
instance az wa lately witnessed in this
city. U and !, with Gus Williams, John T..
Kelly and n company of very clever people,
present something different. From first to
last it is bright. pleasing and extremely
%laughable. The dialogue is crisp
and witty, and the situations, while
not altogether new are uproariously
funny. Tie plot of our does moi amount
to much, but it serves its purpose, that of
a vehicle for very clever specialties. The
interest naturally centered in Williams and
Kelly. He is the same old Gus if he has
departed somewhat from his old line. As
Prof. U~ngerblotz he gave a performance re-
plete with the strong characteristics which
united to make him a popular favorite. Mr..
Kelly as ODonovan Inness, was very cley-
er. His rich brogue caught tho audience
from the start, while his s~pecialties were
exceedingly good. Miss Florrie West con-
tributed much to the pleasure of the even
ing, and the other young ladies gave per-
formances much above the farce comedy
standard. Altogether it was a pleasing and
most satisfactory entertainment. 1t will
repeated tonight and this afternoon.

Hurt by an Elevator.
Ed. Reese, n plumber, was badly hurt by
the elevator at Cans & Klein's yesterday.
He had been doing some work on the gas
pipe in the cellar, and was coming up on
the elevator. Thinking he had dropped a
screw or bolt On the floor of the elevator.
he got down to look for it, ut the same time
telling the boy in charge to start up. just
as they we're nearing the first floor, Reese
in some manner got his right foot over the
edge of the elevator. II was caught be-
tween the edge of the elevator floor and the
side of the opening into the first story, and
badly crushed. He screamed and the ele-
vator stopped at once. The skin was not
broken, but the swollen appearance of the
foot indicates that some OF the bones may
be either broken or out of place. The firm
had him sent home in o carriage.
