meet with a violent end, and some
thirty.five or forty instances in point

death in saloons and other broils five
committed sulcide; three were engulfed
by lsDdsiides; five turned murdeTers

boiling spring aud had the flesh
literally steWed from his bones, while
the others have disappeared and no

A CLASH OF AUTHORITY.
Probate Court Records Aired by a Crow
bar.

Probate court Records Aired Dy crow
bar.
There Is a brand new County Clerks
office almost ready at the City Hail. but the
County Clerk wants some assistance to
move his records up there
Then there is new wing on the north
side of the building almost ready to connect
with the main building.
The contract was let some time ago. and
the contractor has only limited time in
which to finish his work.
The connection has 10 be made through
the probate clerks Office, where wills and
valuable records are stored.
A week ago Architect Phillips notified the
County Clerk 10 move the records, but the
County Clerk says he has no one to do it,
ard so he did not do anything
Yesterday morning man with a crowbar
appeared and commenced making the con-
nec,ion by taking out the windows in the
Probate Court clerks room.
The clerks protested and the architect ap-
peaed to the City Hall Commissioners,
who, represented by Mayor Sanderson and
Auditor Smiley, bade the crow bar-man to
proceed.
The windows were taken out and the
records we're laid open to the free breeze Of
heaven.
1t appears tbat the County Clerk has
never received official notification that his
new quarters were ready, and claims that
they are by no means ready for his recep-
ton.
There is no shelving. pigeon-holes or
blank racks, while no arrangements have
been made for the transfer Of his safes and
ether articles.
He has made a requstion to the Board
of Supervisors for 500 for expenses, but
Can get 10 satisfaction.
Last evening he made the best arrange
ments possible for guarding the eXn1sed
records. but will start to-day to remove
them with the help of two extra jaBitors.
But as to the moving of the County Clerks
Office, that is still matter of uncertainty

he MARRIED A LA SHARON.
A Case in Which Wedding
Rings Play a Part.
William Eggers Wants the Court to Decide
il He Is Married Man or Not-A Remark
able Case Before Judge Lawler.

Yesterday there were certain interesting
circumstances in the divorce case Of EggerS
VS. Eggers. before Judge Lawler.
1t seems that Augusta and William Eggers
had apparently been married since the Goth
of January. 1889.
They lived together until June of this
year. little girl being born to them, when
William became dissatisfied and sued for a
divorce on the ground of Augustus intidelty.
He made one Fernand Reillac correspond
ent in the case.
In her answer she says that her name Is
Reillac and not EggerS, she having been
married TO Fernand recently.
Moreover she denies that she was ever
married 10 Eggers.
Eggers, on the stand yesterday, said that
he always considered himself "as much
married as Sharon"
No license had been taken ont because
Augusta was only 10, but he had given her a
wedding-ring, and when she became OF age
gave her another ring.
He had always acknowledged her as his
wife in public and had had the enid bap-
tized as his lawful child.
Augusta says the child is not legitimate Q
and that the plaintiff is trying TO take it
away. although she has instituted proceed
ings for habeas corpus on the child's be-
half.
The divorce proceedings, she says. are
merely instituted to hinder the habeas
corpus process.
The case came up on motion for nOR-
suit and time WAS granted 10 the attorneys
to file briefs.
The decision will affect the legitimacy Of
the child whether Reillac's marriages is legal,
and also whether Mrs. EggeIs is or is not a
bigamist.
A curious fact brought out in the trial
was that the first husband, Eggers, admitted
having attended the second marriage or the
woman he now claims is his WIFE

Carey, who was employed In barber-shop

The Press Clubs committee In charge of
Thursdays great matinee has nearly fin
ishea its laborS and there is not the least
doubt but that the affair will be the great
est entertainment OF the kind ever seen in
this city.
More than that it will be q big social
event and the Mob Hillites are already
hustling for tickets.
1t will not be an easy job to try to buy
seats for the show after to day. for Treas
urer Morgenstern of the California Theater
already finds that his hair is getting gray
from the fact that he is hourly compelled to
give to seventy-fiYe different people the
best seyenty-fiyc seats in the house for
Thursday afternoon.
Looking at the programme gotten up by
the newspaper men, there is no wonder that
the town is wild and that everybody wants
10 be there.
First of all there is Lillian Russell, the
great and only "airy. fairy Lillian" who

ABOUT THE DONAHUE Line.
An Order for It's Sale Is
Finally Granted.
It Will Be Advertised SO That Men With
Spare Millions Nay Have Chance
to Buy It.

The Superior Court of Marin County
granted to the executors OF the estate of j.
MerYyn Donahue yesterday the long-ex-
pected permission to sell the property
known as the San Francisco and North Pa
cifc Railroad.
j. F. Burgin and ?. ]. McGlynn are the
executors aud Charles F. Hanlon is the at
tOrney of the estate.
The question as to who will obtain control
of the railroad has been so frequently dis
eussed in the columns of THE CALL that
they need no repitition.
The Seligman Brothers of New York,
who are legally represented here by Russell
Wilson. and financially by the Auglo-Cali-
forBian Bank, hold the bulk of the road 8
bonds, and they will eventually become the
owners.
Whether the New York bankers intend
to mold the property for any length of time
or whether they are acting In the interest Of
some other parties who desire 10 obtain
control OF the San Francisco and North Pa
citlc, so as to have Pacific Coast outlet for
transcontinental line, remains to be seen
In the future.
For the present the usual formalities, such
as advertising the property for sale, will be
gone through and 1t will be several weeks
yet before the startling news that the Selig-
mans have purchased the Donahue road
will be given out officially.
To make this interesting bit Of news more
interesting when it comes il is now said that
a sharp competition exists and that 1t may
be that some other buyers will secure the
property after it is advertised.
AS a matter Of course every ybody knows
the streets Of San Francisco are full of peo-
pie who scan the columns of the daily pa
pers eagerly every morning 10 find a railroad
advertised ''for sale" so that they can find
the only investment for their millions thai
they are looking for.

THE H0LD-OVER SENATORS.
The Supreme Court Orders New Elet

The Supreme Court Orders a New Elec-
tion Proclaimed.
Yesterday the Supreme Court issued two
writs of mandamus in the hold-over Senator
cases.
The first was against Governor II. II.
MARKHAM in the case Of The People Of the
State ex rel. j. w. Snowfall, and COM
manded the Governor to issue forthwith
proclamation for an election to fill the
Office of Senator for the Sixth Senatorial
District, composed of Yolo. Yuba and
Sutter
The second writ is against r. w. PEN
degast, as County Clerk for Yolo. ordering
him to file the certificate of nomination or
j. w. SNOWFALL as candidate for Senator
from the said district. Both wrlts are re-
turnable on the 2Sth inst in the Supreme
Court.
These writs practically decide the Ques-
tion as TO whether all the hold-oyer dis
tricts were wiped out by the new appor-
tionment act, the Democratic consensus be-
ing in favor of that construction and the
Republicans opposed.
The San Diego case still remaining un-
settled only rests on the question as 10
whether the failure of the hod-over Sen
ator Streeter to reside in the new district
made the position vacant or not

THE BIDLEMAN CASE.
Defendants DefaIcations Alleged t
Amount TO $4,000.

Defendants DefaIcatiOns Alleged to
Amount TO $4,000.
The case of Enoch c. BidemaD, charged
with embezzling between $1,000 and 5000
from the liquor firm OF ID. v B. Henarie &
Co., was called yesterday in Judge Wal
lace's court.
George A. Wilson. one Of the suretles for
the defendant, withdrew from the bond and
there was some contention as to fixing an
amount for a new bond.
Attorney Pillsbury for the prosecution
said that Bidleman's defalcations were
now thought to amount TO more than $780,
600. and he thought the bond should be in
creased TO that figure.
Attorney Long for the defense said his
client could not furnish bond for larger
amount than before-S S5O00-and reverted to
the case of j. II. Maynard. who. when
charged with embeZzling $4,000, had been
released on furnishing 5000.
The court said the amount should, In its
opinion, equal the amount alleged in the
complaint 10 have been embeZzled.
1t therefore fixed the amount at $500, and
Bideman WAS remanded into the custody OF
the Sheriff until he furnish another bond.
The case follows the Bruner case, now on
trial

Judge Wallace Sees No Reason for Grant,
ing a Continuance.
Yesterday the trial of Elw ood Bruner.
the Sacramento member of the Legislature
accused of taking a bribe in connection
with the Ticket-scalpers' bill, was CON-
menced in Judge Walace's court.
Another continuance was applied for by
Attorney Campbell on the ground that
Patrick Reddy, counsel for Bruner, is in
Idaho, but the court saw no sufficient
reason for the continuance.
Bruner then personally asked the court TO
grant a delay TO allow Attorney Campbell
TO acquaint himself with the facts, but the
court could not see that Mr. Campbell
needed any preparation.
The impaneiDg then proceeded, Mr..
Campbell showing considerable skill in
questioning the jurors, although by special
arrangement with the prosecution peremp
tory challenges were waived until the box
is filled. This vas understood TO have been
done in order TO allow Mr. Reddy to exc
cute some choice on his return.
BY o'lock five jurors had been sworn in
and the court ordered a special venire of
thirty to issue, returuable this afternoon at
2 o'clock.
The jurors so far secured are: Julius
Bandmann, William Sutton, Gabriel Cohn,
