TWO CHILDREN's DEATHS.
Mystery Attending Them Still Uusolved-Th,
Suspicious Aroused.

Mystery attending Them Still Uus0lved-The
Suspicious Aroused.
The mystery attending the deaths Of Mary
Morgan and Geo. Lewis, the adopted daughter
and son of Isaac Lewis of South Chester, Pa,
is still unsolved, Both children died after
brief illness.
The boys death took place come time subse-
quent to that of the girl. The symptoms of
the sickness that terminated in his death SO
strongly resembled those Of a person suffering
from poison that a post-mortem was held, and
sufficient arsenic to have caused death was
found in his stomach.
The suspicious Of the authorities were
aroused by the similarity between the symp-
toms exhibited by the two children and on
Tuesday the girls body was exhumed. The
suspicion that she had been poisoned was veri-
fed by the finding of traces of arsenic in her
stomach.
The coroner held an inquest last night. dur
ing which the father, mother and sister of the
dead children were subjected to long exami-
nation All three asserted that no poison of
any kind had ever been in the house.
No motive for the crime could be discovered
by the coroner, and the jury returneda verdict
that the two children had come to their deaths
by arsenical poison administered by some per-
son or persons unknown. The authorities will
pursue their Investigations further.

MRS. HOPKINS-sEARLEs' WILL.
1t IL Not Relieved That Timothy Hopkins
Will Contest 1t.

1t IL Not Relieved That Timothy Hopkins
Will Contest It
Gen. William H. Hubbard, one Of the execu-
tors Of tho late Mrs. Mark Hopkins-Searies Is o
member of the party Of Wabash railroad Off
cials now in the city, says st. Louis dispatch.
The dispatches have announced that Timothy
Hopkins would probably contest the will Gen.
Hubbard says this statement could not have
been made authoritatively, as Timothy Hopkins
was in Japan when Mrs Searles died, and will
not reach San Francisco until August IL.
1.-The statement in relation to the contest
comes from Russell Wilson, in all probability"
said Gen. Hubbard. Mr.. Wilson is Califor-
MIA attorney, but am not positive that he rep
resents Timothy Hopkins interests or is
authorized to speak for him. The provision of
the will, which was drawn by Mr. Dodge, a
Boston lawyer, in 1888. and not by myself, as
announced in some Of the papers, stating that
the exclusion Of Timothy Hopkins as a legatee
was Intentional was intended solely because
the statutes of California provided that there
must be such provision, and it has no bearing
upon the relations existing between the de-
cedent and the son. If Mrs. Searles desired to
exclude Mr., Hopkins as a beneficiary, il was
necessary under the California law to insert
provision that such exclusion WAS inten-
tioosl. do not apprehend contest
maze seen Mrs. Scaries and Mr.. Hopkins to-
gether and their relations seemed to be most
friendly. 40 that the statements that there was
anmosity between them because of the mar
rage of Mrs Searles does not seem to be borne
out. believe that young Hopkins objected 70
the marriage, but 1 presume it was because he
thought it would interfere with his prospects.
Mrs. Hopkins had no. other heirs except two
nieces and it was the feeling of any prospective
heirs against marriage which would probably
cut them off. don't believe that Mrs. SeRrles
was influenced by any one in making her will,
as she was a woman who knew what she wanted
without the influence of others
''What provision did Mrs. Searles make for
Timothy Hopkins during ife?'
well, she made him treasurer Of the South
ern Pacific Railroad at a salary of $40 600 a.
year, which he has enjoyed for a number Of
years. Then he had liberal allowance from
the estate. and when he married her niece he
got 100000. During the last two wears she
gave him the Latham property near Menlo
Park. Cal, at q nominal value Of 800 900. The
place cost Latham million, it is said, but he
failed, and Mrs Searles came into possession
This is Hopkins home. The provision for
young Hopkins is very liberal, considering his
origin; but of course, as fractional part Of the
estate, it is small"

izations. When the roll was called at noon 226
clubs responded. Secretary Hedges announced
that a number Of other clubs had been re-
ported but had not been put on the roll. In
his address President McAlpin said that 1t was
not the object of the present convention to
name candidates nor to make party platforms.
1T is the duty of the republican league" said
he, Ito make the republican platform the po-
Gtical creed of the state" In speaking of the
| sources of republican strength he mentioned
the influence Of unnecessary defeat Neces-
sary defeat, he said, was discouraging, but not
80 with defeat where it might have been
avoided. Letters of regret were read from

ance on City Hall. $1,000; horse feed for

shown that the increase allowance for
street cleaning reduced the prospective
deficiency in that account from $4,000 at
the end of the fiscal year 1S909i to about
ss, 600 at the end of 1891-o2 1t was also
shown that the increase in the election
appropriation was sufficient to prevent
any deficit whatever at the end of lS9i-92.

Total estimates. ....... sIl4sss s. sAs.eO0 Z

The increase in the salary item is caused
by the salary of the Superint endent, who
was created by the Legislature since the
last budget was made, 5000; by increases
in those of the Chief and Assistant Chief
of $500 each and by the employment of
more men on account of the new APP
paratus TO be purchased.
The item of claims is bone of conten-
tion, There are those who say it Is ample,
saying that year or two ago 900 was
found sufficient and that the purchase of
new hose and engines by cutting down
the repairs account ought to make 10000
a very liberal allowance. Those who take
the opposite view claim that the Depart
ment is now in debt and has exhausted
its appropriation for the current year.
We ar e inclined to believe that the all ow
ance is from So, 600 to $4,000 short of the
Departments real needs. The Cornmis-
sioners, however. only asked for $780, o
and It is an fnvariable rule that Depart
ments ask for more than they really want t.
Theoretically, of course, there is no war
rant of law for using any part of this
money TO pay bills incurred during the
present year. Every dollar Of the $4,000
should go to the expenses of the year
beginning December 1. II the Board is
running behind this year the Board of
Finance should take care of the deficit
some other way.
1t would be useless to go iRto any de-
tails regarding the other items of the
Fire Department schedule. The rehabil-
itarion of the system is worn threadbare
as a newspaper topic. All citizens are
agreed that it must be done. and that at
once. Not a single critic has raised his
voice against these appropriations, and
we believe they are unassailable.
Summing up for the Fire Departme Mt,
we find a total increase of s29. 800. viz. -
Salaries, sI0.350; claims. $1,000; improve
ments, s17. 7.e50. We find besides dis
puted prospective deficit in the claims ac-
count. We are not able to make up our

others to withdraw mis- appeal, Ex-Judge
Gnrretson said:-"In the case Of John
Green, convicted Of election frauds. we
desire to Withdraw the writ Of error IN
his case alone. We asE the Court to take
into consideration that Green has already
been in jail eight mouths.
CREEN GETS OFF EASY.
Judge Lippincott asked the Prosecutor
II he thought any writing was necessary,
ana upon the Prosecutor replying NO"
the Judge proceeded. ''In this case the
Court has hardly anything TO say. The
prisoner in Withdrawing his writ Of error
and throwing himself on the considera-
tion Of the Court should be commended,
yet the punishment will be about the same
as II the prisoner had commenced to
serve hts sentence Immediately after con-
viction. The Court. however. remembers
that he has beeu in the County Jail for
eight months. We will now
reconsider the sentence and
not send the prisoner to State Prison,
but will sentence him to six months i'm
prisonment with nard labor at the Peni-
tentiary."
Green looked pretty bad after his i'm
urisonnlent. He took this step upon the
advice Of his friends. The other mem
bers Of bis board were Francis Whalen.
