Church Must Answer for the Assault on
His Sixth Wife.
Five minutes after Judge Joaehimsen rem
dered his decision yesterday, holding John
Henry Church for trial on a charge of as
sault to murder for firing three shots at
Laura Keefe Church, his sixth wife, at 5
Mason street on tine night of August 18th,
Attorney A. Craig rushed into Police Court
and inquired what disposition had been
made of the case When informed that his
client had been committed for trial in $1,000
bail, he launched forth into an argument
and asserted that the case had not been sub
mitted, but he was informed that he was
lahoring under a mistake.
Then he said that he proposed to show by
witnesses that conspiracy had been formed
to prevent the defendant from commune
eating with the complainant and so the
Court set aside the order OF commitment It
and ordered Craig to proceed.
A pale-faced youth. who gave the name
of James Bernard and his residence at 1920
Hampshire street, was called as witness.
He was asked whether he hal been search
ing for wife No. 6. for several days, but the
question was objected to and the objector
sustained.
"If l can't establish what I've alleged"
said Craig in disgust, L might as well stop
right here"
He did stop after arguing that Church
should not be tried on a more serious charge
than one of an assault with a deadly
weapon. Judge Joachimsen thought diff
ferently, and renewed his order committing
the man of many wives for trial on q charge
of assault to murder.

PURE PHILANTHROPY.
BenevOlence of Woman to q
Helpless Stranger.

On Thursday afternoon the steamer Aca-
pulco. sailing for Panama. had or board a
passenger so helpless that she not only re-
quired to be carried to her state-room. but
was practically unable to move hand or
foot, and could only open her mouth wide
enough to insert very small portions Of food.
She was curled up like ball. and unable to
unbend her limbs.
This was Mrs. Carrie Myers, pretty
little woman only 33 years OF age, whose
daily existence is living death through her
sufferings from inflammatory rheumatism.
She was bound for New York and thence
for Pittslield, Mass, where her sister re-
sides, the expenses Of her passage being
defryed through the Efforts OF the Asso-
ciated Charities.
1t is eight years since Mr.. and Mrs. Myers
came to San Francisco in prosperous cir
cumstances. After three years of remuner-
ative labor the husband died leaving few
thousand dollars to his widow. With her
bereavement came other troubles. ntam-
matory rheumatism slowly but teadIly
made her a prisoner, her money gradually
melted away, and her friends and acqual Mt
anceS disappeared also.
After receiving treatment from many
physicians her case was pronounced incur
able, and she procured admission TO the
German Hospital. where she paid $50
week as long as ntT money ldSIeus Dlo lc-
mained in the institution for three years,
during which period over one hundred oper-
atoms of one kind and another were uusuc-
ceSsfully performed upon the unfortunate
woman, who continued to grow worse:
With her money gone her future seemed
gloomy indeed, until she found an uneX-
pected friend in Mrs. Vining, dressmaker
of very moderate means, who when visiting
an acquaintance in the hospital, noticed
Mrs. Myers despondent look, and upon
learning the circumstances OF the case
offered her home.
The offer was accepted, and during the
last year Mrs. Myers has resided with Mrs.
Vining, and the latter, without compenSa-
ton, has minlstered to the wants of the
helpless woman. She has also paid for
medical attendance and medicines, and was
obliged to employ a man to move the in-
valid, who was too heavy for her strength.
1t was o case of the pures philanthropy,
for the dressmaker could i'll afford the bur
den. At last the expense became too great
for her means, and she reluctantly sought
an asylum for the sufferer. Where to send
her was the question. Tie Almshouse was
crowded, and it was feared Mrs. Myers
could not receive there the individual at
tentiOn she required. st. Joseph's Home
for the lncurables is full, and there are
many applicants for the first vacancy. An
appeal was made to the Registrar of the
Associated Charities, who soon interested
number of ladies and gentlemen in the case.
The afflicted woman was fath-cure
devoLee and fancied that she would recover
at her old home, so, as no place seemed open
to her reception in the city, the sum OF $50
wac collected and she was sent to her Mas
sachusetts hume, where she will be under a
sisters care.

DEFIED A REGIMENT.
An Incident, at wounded Knee, wIthou

An Incident; at Wounded Knee, Without
Parallel In History.
!. There was one feature Of the fight be-
tween the Seventh Cavalry and the Sioux
at Wounded Knee which Indicates in the
most remarkable manner the effect of
modern firearms on the defensive, and which
is. as far as know, without a parallel
in history. After the fight was over,
and. the Indians had been killed or cap
tured, the cavalry. set to work TO bury the
dead. Suddenly. q shot was heard, and a
horse fell wounded. The troops were puz-
zled to know where the shot came from. but
their mystifcation was soon ended by a puff
OF smoke from the top OF q .chimney-like
rock on q neiRhb0rlng bluff, the ring of a
rife ball followed by the Whip-lIke crack OF
g Winchester. = -.
An Indian shot through the shoulder had
managed to drag himself TO the rock, and
was firing upon the troops as fast as he
could pulf the etrigger in his disabled eoudi-
tiOn. A squad was detailed to silence him,
but so well was he covered that not shot
could reach him, while his bullets were sent
70 all parts Of the battle. ground. The fact
was finally recognized that the SOIL
-tary wounded . Indian with his Win
chester completely dominated the field, and
that IL would cost:haH dozen lives to dis
lodge him. AS 1t was not considered worth
while to go TO this expense, the only thing
to be done was to march off. The regiment
accordingly withdrew, having been fairly
driven off by one wounded mau. know of

KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.

Three Thousand Volts Passed Through
His Body.
Daniel Madden, 10 years old, who has
been employed for the last six weeks as
assistant plumber in Piper's West End
Casino, Coney Island, was killed by cleo
tricitv in the presence of a large crowd of
people, says a New York special to the

pears from the statement of Mr.. Piper, was
an exceptionally clever and am bilious young
man. He was repeatedly cautioned not to
touch the electrical apparatus. An cleo
trlcian named Charles MHlanY went to the

lamps and burners. Madden followed
closely at his heels. Whether he was or
dered 10 do this or not. nobody knows. The
officials at the hotel deny that he was,
After he had reached tire top floor Of the
hotel the electrician looked round and be-
held, to his astonshment, the limp
form OF Madden hanging from a lamp.
He had hold with both hands of wire
connecting the burner. MGllany tried hard
to kick him off, but his efforts were ineffect-

The accident, and turned off the current. In
the. meantime large crowd had assembled
around the unfortunate young man, and
when the current was turned off lie fell to
the ground Dr. John E. Ward was prompt
ly on@hand; but it WIS too late to render any
assistance: A slight heart action. which
lasted for moment, was the only sign of
life. Death, in the opinion of the physician,
WAS instantaneous. About 5000 volts OF
electricity passed through his body There
are sixty lamps in the hotel and each lamp
has voltage Of fifty. The plant is of the

ILLINOIS AT GETTYSBURG.
Dedication of a Monument Suggested by
LII.

Dedication of a Monument Suggested by
San Franciscan.
A monument testifying to the valor and
service of Illinois regiments at the battle
of Gettysburg was dedicated on Thursday
on the historical battlefield. A local in
terest attaches to the circumstance. because
the monument was the suggestion of San
Franciscan. He was also invited to make
the dedication address, but was prevented
from attending because of sickness in his
family.
The regiments of Illinois which partici-
pated at Gettysburg were the Eighty-secOnd
Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel
h. 5. Sal0mon, and also known as the New
Hecker," after the well-known German
revolutionst, the original Hecker Regiment
having been the Twenty-fOurth; the Eighth
Illinois Cavalry, Colonel Farnsworth, who
was killed in the battle; tho Seventeenth,
Colonel John L. Beverage, afterward Sheriff
OF Cook County and Governor of Illinois.
and several companies OF the Twelfth Cav
airy under Captain HasbrOuck Davis,
brother of Horace Davis of this city and ex-
Congressman. Colonel Salcmon,
who was wounded in the battle, was pro-
NOTED Colonel and Brigadier-General, and
after the war appointed Territorial Governor
of Washington, and in this city has been
prominent in military societies. His regi-
ment was the only infantry command from
Illinois at Gettysburg; but the fact was ap-
parently forgotten or overlooked until he
himself called attention to 1t while Depart
ment Commander of the g. A. r. of Cali
fOrnia and while attending a reunion of the
regiment at Chicago in 1887, after the
National Eucampment at st. Louis.
1t was then that the initiative was taken
to plant on the field of Gettysburg the monu-
ment which has now been dedicated.
