STILL PROGRESSING.
The Ames-Treadweu Case in Judge
Hunts Department.

The Ames-Treadwel Case In Judge
Hunts Department.
J. B. MhHon was the first witness called
in the Ames-Treadwell case yesterday, and
he testified that he and his partner, Flour
noy, represented the plaintiff in the case of
Reay against Butler. Attorney Dunno ques-
toned HIM as to the services of Ames per-
formed in that case on the motion for a new
trial, and the witness cOrrobOrated Ames'
statements in this behalf and asserted that
the services were worth $4,000 or $4,000.
On crOss-eXaminatiO Attorney Van Ness
questioned Mr.. MhOOn concerning the fees
he received in cases involving as much labor
as that of Reay vs.. Butler, but it seemed
that he never received more than $1,000
w. w. Foote then testified that he had no
idea of the scope of AmeS' services in the
case, and could not therefore place a yalua-
tiOn thereon.
William II. L. Barnes also proved as un-
satisfactory a witness.
Fred Atwood, Ames' clerk, was then
called and asked to explain the circum-
stances of the meeting between Somers,
Mrs. Tread we'll and the plaintiff on Septem-
Der %, 1887. His answers were cOrrObOra-
tive OF Ames' statements, but the young
mans memory failed him on most other
subjects.
Mrs. Treadwell then took the stand, and
all that had already been gone over in
Ames' examination was explained by her,
the slight difference in the two statements
being the result of the different light in
which attorney and client regarded iden-
tipaI facts

FAREWELL TO A CHAPLAIN.


Rev. Kirby of st. Mary's College Remem-
bered by the Students.
The students of ST. Mary's College, Oak
land, were assembled In the College hall on
Monday evening to bid farewell to their
rnuch-beloved chaplain, Rev. Thomas P.
Kirby. The good father was taken COM
pletely by surprise, for with his usual mod
esty he had intended to take his departure
for his new field of labor in Alameda with
out any ceremony. The students learned
that he was TO leave them only few hours
before he was ready 10 say goOd-by. After
the orchestra had played on overture and
Messrs. White, Ranken, Cooney and Sheerin
had sung quartet, L. Ansem Duffy, on
behalf of the students, read an address to
the Chaplain, after which John d. Ward
presented the father with a pocket-book
with a lining of gold notes in the sum of
$780, The reverend father thanked the
young gentlemen from his heart of hearts,
He would ever remember the days spent In
st. Mary's Callege rs among the happiest Of
his life. The boys and the Brothers he
could not forget. At the altar he would
think of them and hoped that they, too
would remember him in their prayers
Father Kirby spoke most feelingly. and tell
tale tears glStened in the eyes of many Of

neighborhood and build temporary taber-
nacle at once. A permanent church home
will be erected next year, to cost at least
500, 600, and it will be the finest Methodist

nent members, donated lot on Mission

the purchase of lot 70X126:9 on the corner

Latest La Crime Theory,

The recent temperance of la grippe has
formed the subject Of many cOnjectures in
medical circles regarding its generation.
The theory has been advanced that the cpl
demic has been caused by the presence OF
atmospheric dust with the suppoSition that
this unknown quantity has been imported
from Europe by means of cyconic agencies.
Lieutenant John p. Finley, U. :. A, has
characterized the explanation as being BIAS ed
upon an impossi6ility, and says that even il
the dubious theory of atmospheric dust is
correct, the contrary ocean winds could not
act as transportation agents. 1t is barely
possible that la grippe may have been car
ried by merchandise. or unconsciously intro
duced by European travellers.

In the trial yesterday of William Sulli-
van, accused of the murder of Gustave
Berner. Michael Dolan, father of John J.
Dolan, Sullivan's accomplish, testified. that
he knew nothing about the affair.
He was then shown written deposition
of his, made before the arrest, wherein he
said that 1t was Sullivan who had beaten
Berner over the head with stone 10 a
handkerchief. He had to a1mit that his
statement to the detectives was true.
An attempt Will be made to show that the
two hoodluns tried to rob Berner, and that
after pushing one of them into horse
trough he went into the saloon and thought
nothing more about the affair. When he
came out Sullivan hit him over the head
with stone in a handkerchief The blow
cracked Berner's skull and killed him.

WING AND EGAN.
Arrest of Swindlers Who Preyed Upon
the Charitable.

the Charitable.
Two smooth swindlers who give the
names of Thomas Wing and Michael Egan
were arrested by Officers Seymour and
Hanna yesterday for obtaining money by
false pretenses. They have for several
weeks been taking up subscriptions for the
avowed purpose of removing an aged woman
named Emma Spillaue from the Almshouse
TO tie Cracker Old Peoples Home.
There is an old woman named Mrs. Spill
lane at the AluishouSe, but she was not
aware that money was being collected for
her assistance, and it is needless to state
that Wing and Egan had no intention of
assisting her. They .old their story so
glibly, however, that numerous charitably
inclined persons handed over sums ranging
from 81 to $40.
Among those who were duped by the
oly-tOngued collectors were District Attor-
ney Barnes, Justice of the Peace Britain
and Mrs. DIR. p. G. leland. II was on
complaint of the District Attorney that the
investigation and consequent arrests were
made.
