BROTHERLY LOVE.
Members Of Trio Lodge Honor Capt
H. C. Cleaveland.
Remembering him ON the Twenty
fifth Anniversary OF his Entry into
the Masonic Fraternity.

Last night witnessed the twenty-ffth
anniversary of the entry os Capt. II. G.
cleveland into the order of Masonry
Probably no member of the fraternity in
Rock Island has done so much for its up
building and advancement as has Capt.
cleveland. Not only has Trio lodge
50 of which he became a member 25
years ago resped the advantages of his
painstaking endeavor in behalf Of the or.
der, but Rock Island lodge has likewise
been promoted as lodge through bis work.
And while Capt. cleveland has risen to
the highest ranks of this noble order and
received the highest honors that the tens
pie of knighthood confers, he has not
been unmindful of the welfare of the
lodges where the foundations are laid for
the higher degrees of advancement in the
ancient order.
Being aware of the important anniver-
sary IN her husbands life Mrs. Cleaveland
had planned surprise for him by extend
ing an invitation to the members of Trio
lodge to call during the absence of Capt.
Clesveland at the meeting of Everts com
msndery, the plan being to give him a
reception on his return. On receiving
the invitation from Mrs. Cleaveland, the
lodge determined to have a part in the
surprise of its own and arrangements were
made accordingly. So that when Capt.
Cleavela and returned from the Knigh, is
Templsr meeting he found not only his
home, S4S Twentieth street, completely
in the possession of Trio lodge and sew
eral from Rock Island lodge, but that the
Masons had come prepared to show their
estimation and affection for him in other
ways as well. Fol- in due time ]. NJ.
Buford on behalf of Trio lodge and in
choice words presented Capt. cleveland
with an elegant desk for his library, and
George F. Kramer. worshipful master of
the lodge, presented life honorary men,
bership. The recipient was taken COM
pletely by surprise, but found language
to respond most befittingly.
In the meantime Mrs. cleveland, With
the assistance of her sister, Mrs L M
Copp, Mrs. Dr. Kinyon and Mrs. J. J.
Reimers, had prepared refreshments and
after all had shown their abundan,
appreciation of this part of the pro-
gramme, short speeches were made

GORDON'S ALLEGED BROTHER.
The Young Man Who Promises to
Give Him Aid.
He Visits the Prisoner and Upbraids
Him for Pleading GuiIty-His
Identity in Doubt.

Yesterday a stranger called at the
Sheriff's office and solicited an interview
with Harry Gordon, who is under indict-
ment for the murder of Robert Allen.
He claimed to be a brother of the pris-
oner, and said he had just arrived from
the East
When told that he would be allowed to
havea consultation with the prisoner only
in the presence of an officer, the visitor
grew quite indignant and denounced
what he termed arbitrary and tyrannical
rules. but he concluded to accept the i'm
posed conditions.
Gordon and his visitor recognized each
other when brought together, but the
officer in attendance says there was no
such demonstrativeness exhibited by
either as would indicate that they were
moro than ordinary friends.
The visitor upbraided Gordon severely
tor having pleaded guilty to the charge of
robbery, and declared that he would en-
ploy able counsel to defend the latter on
his trial fer the more serious crime for
which he has been indicted.
The alleged brother of the prisoner had
evidently been indulging in something
stronger than water Just prior to his visit
The Sheriff's officers incline to the be-
lief that he is not Gordon's brother. as he
bears no resemblance whatever to the
prisoner, and that his purpose was to see
the latter alone and bear some message
from him TO his friends or perhaps his
relatives.
The facts, however, will doubtless be
fully developed later on when the time

MISS ASHLEY'S SEAISKIN.
Her Charge Against Anita Para o

Her Charge Against Anita Para of
Having EmbezzIed 1t.
The examination case of Anita Para,
charged by Nellie Ashley with embezzle-
ment, was partly heard by Judge Cravens
yesterday and then continued until Satur-
day.
The Ashley woman charges Anita with
refusing to give up the possession of a
$3.50 sealskin cloak which she took as Sc
curity for loan of S14.
Anita rents apartments to lewd women
on lower L street, and while Nellie Ash
ley was sick and was unable to pay her
rent, amounting to Sl4, she gave her seal
skin cloak to the Para woman as security
until she got well. This was a year ago,
and last May she went to Anita and Of
fered her $50 if she would give up the
coat. The offer was made several times
since, bat Anita refused to surrender the
property, hence her arrest.
Anita swore that Nellie Ashley owed
her $50, and gave her the coat in payment
of the debt.
The garment was exhibited in court,
and the Ashley woman found that it had
been shortened and new lining placed
in it.
The case was continued until Saturday,
when additional testimony will be heard.

CLOSING At MIDNIGHT.
A Suit to Mandamus the Trustees and
City Collector
The Proprietors of the Lafayette viii
Contest-They Say They Con-
duct Restaurant.

Since the passage of the ordinance by
the City Trustees directing that all sa-
looms must be closed at midnight, little
has been done to enforce the new law
until lately.
1t was quite natural, of course, that the
aIl-night saloon men should make a
"roar" when the arrests began to be
made, and it was quite natural to sup
pose, too, that they would die hard.
Henry Kohne was the first of the vio-
iators arrested, and he was convicted by
aJury Of twelve citizens. But still it was
not considered that the matter had been
1alrly contested, and the general under
standing was that the validity of the ordi-
nance should be settled in the Superior
Court.
FROM ANOTHER QUARTER.
Kohne, however, did not appeal to the
higher court, as expected.
But suit was commenced in the Su-
perlor Court yesterday which, while il
does not involve the validity of the ordi-
nance, will-if decided favorably for the
plaintitfs-give the all-night dispensers
OF drinks a lOop-hOle through which they
can evade the ordinance.
The plaintiffs in this suit are Fred.
Gibson and William Cook, proprietors OF
luc ldldy 6ItG Saloon on II street, ana the
suit is directed against Mayor Comstock,
Trustees Conklin, Mclaughlin and City
License Collector Putnam. They petit
ton the Superior Court to issue its al
tentative writ of mandate, directing the
defendants to appear and show cause
why they should give to the petitioners a
special license to conduct a restaurant
and eating
The complaint sets forth substantially
the following: The petitioners are the
owners, IN possession of, and conducting
restaurant and eating-house in the CITY
of Sacramento, to which is annexed a
bar or barroom constituting part of said
restaurant or eating-house. On the 22d
OF June, 1891, the Trustees
PASSED AN ORDINANCE
Providing the amounts of city licenses
to be paid by keepers of saloons and other
places where liquors are sold among the
provisions of which was one prohibiting
such dealers to keep open after midnight
excepting, however, those conducting
restaurants or eating g-houSes. The latter
may obtain special licenses. The said
ordinance is now in full force, and these
petitioners have paid their city, county
ana State licenseS-all except the special
eating house license, which was refused
them by the Trustees and Collector. They
applied for such a license and offered the
Collector the necessary SO, but it was re-
jected.
At a late hour yesterday afternoon
the writ petitioned for was issued, and
the defendants ordered to appear and
show cause.

THE MOORE-EARL CASE.
Judge Van Fleets Decision AfIirmt
bY the Sunreme Court

Judge Van Fleets Decision Affirmed
by the Supreme Court.
Twenty-three years ago last May c. w.
Hathaway was appointed executor of the
estate of Ferris J. Moore, deceased, by
the County Judge of Sacramento. The
will provided that no bond should be re-
quired, but the court appointed D. w.
Earl and John McNeill as bondsmen, in
the sum Of SC, 200. The value of the estate
was SI6,637, and had the law been fol-
lowed strictly, the bond would have
amounted to $4,000 or over.
After a time Hathaway became in
solvent, and it was found that he owed
the Moore estate Sl2,577. AS he was un-
able to pay it, and as Mcneil, one of the
bondsmen, was also insolvent, suit was
brought by +. j. Moore against Earl for
$4,000.
The case came before Judge Van Fleet,
and he rendered decision in favor of the
plaintiff for the full amount Of the bond
On yesterday the Supreme Court, to
which the case was appealed, rendered a
decision affirming Judge Van Fleets
order in every particular.

STAIRS TROUBLES.
The Libel Case is Partially Heard
the Police Court,

The Libel Case is Partially Heard in
the Police Court.
The examination of A. II. Starr.
charged by E. C. Meade with criminal
libel, was partially heard by Police Judge
Cravens yesterday afternoon.
The case was heard with closed doors
at the request of the attorney for the de-
tense.
The details of this case have been pub
Iished. Starr accused his wife of init
macy with Meade, and, it is said, when
she admitted ii, he sent threatening let
iers TO Meade and the latter's wife. 1t
was upon this that he was arrested.
Justice Of the Peace Starr, father of the
defendant, told a RECORD UNION re-
porter that his sons defense would be
that he acted under the belief that Meade
had ruined his home. He could not be
blamed, said the father, considering the
TACT that Mrs. Starr had acknowledged
her guilt. 1t now appears, he said. that
Mrs. Starr denies her infidelity and says
she falsely confessed it for the purpose of
worrying her husband.
The case was not concluded, and was
continued until next Tuesday.

something over 90 years of age, was ar
rested yesterday on charge of malicious
mischief, preferred against her by James
Perry, her former husband.

premises. The couple were divorced
some time ago, but she still lives at the
Perry domicile on Fourth street, between
> and p. She says that she planted the
tree years ago, and that it belonged to
ler, therefore she had a right to cut it
down if she saw fit.
When the old lady was brought before
Police Judge Crayens she was weeping
bitterly, and much sympathy was ex-
pressed by those who were there. The
Judge released her Immediately on her
own recognizance.
