There was q great deal less heard about
silver in Wall street to-day, but gold again
occupied the attention, especially of those
whose interests would be best served by q

of holders seems to be of the most ex-

No other method of securing Repub-

AN INHUMAN MOTHER.
She Commits q Brutal Assault
on Her Young Son.
Pitisbls Appearance of the Child at the Re.
csiving Hospital-He Was Bruised,
Burned and Cut.

Daniel Eustace, a boy of about seven years
pital last night to be treated for innumer-
able cuts and bruises on every part of his
body which q drunken mother had inflicted
on him with heavy club. After his
wounds had been tenderly bathed the more
serious ones were stitched by the attending
surgeons and the little fellow was made as
comfortable as possible.
When questioned the boy said he resided
with his mother. Mrs. E S. Kelly. who
keeps saloon and sailor boarding house at
Az Main street His father died two years
ago. leaving considerable property, and his
mother subsequently married man named
Edward S. Kelly. The second marriage
proved unhappy for both parties, the boys
mother began to drink and then the st ep-
father deserted the establishment. OF late
the woman has drunk more than usual .and
shown an inhuman antipathy TO the boy
She has beaten him at times with so much
brutality that the rough and oftentimes
drunken sailors have had to step in and
save him.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Kelly went on a
worse debauch than ever. She returned
home In maudlin condition yesterday
morning aud at once went to the child's
bed, dragged him out on the floor, beat him
severely and then ordered him out of the
with her in his childish way she renewed
her attack on him with such ferocity that
the neghboTs ran IN and parted them and
slowed the boy away in another room for
safety.
Last night the mother went to his room
and forced the child to accompany her 10
the cellar, where she thrust him into brick
oven, which was still hot. Alarmed at his
screams OF pain. she dragged him out again
and then smashed cup on his head. which
cut deep cash in his scalp. Thereupon he
ran screaming into the street aad took
refuge in neighboring house, where good
Samaritan stanched the flow OF blood as
we'll as she knew how and then led him to
the Receiving Hospital for more skillful
treatment.
After the doctors had done what they
could for the little sufferer the lady took
the child to her own home and proceeded to
look out for him until he can be placed in
good home. The mothers brutality will be
reported to the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children, which will no doubt
take prompt action in the matter to-day.

Oakland Takes the Kinks Out of
Balsz's Delivery.
the South Performed on the
Short End

A fair attendance greeted the mldweek
Sabbath ball-game at Haight street yester-
day afternoon, and the only really startling
feature of the whole affair was that Oakland
won. In this untoward event the taIlend-
ers were greatly assisted by the bounteous
bungles contributed by the young men from
the citrus belt
Then Lester p. German Of Baltimore,
Md, was feeling first rate again. He sailed
an invisible ball across the plate at which
the batteIs swiped in vain effort to rip off
base hits. They got few. but they were
hardly worth mentioning. Four measly
singles and one triple was their total out
put, and these, with an error now and then,
brought them in four tallies
On the other hand Louis BalsZ Of Vallejo
was the eepient of hearty ovation by the
hungry tailend batters. They fell upon
Louie with loud explanations. indicating
heartfelt JOY and pounded his delivery all
over the lot. Mr. Whitehead was largely In
1t with four hits. two of them doubles, out
Of five times up. Altogether there were - l3
swats of different lengths, showing that Mr..
BalsZ's associates put in very busy day
on the emerald green sward.
For once Oakland enjoyed enough tallies
at one time for mess. They never strike
a happy medium. and either pull out with
none at all or more than they can use. The
bakers dozen they got yesterday look a
great deal better in print than they did in

overheated buugles committed by the
learned gentlemen on the other side are con-
sidered.
Dad McCauley is still laid up with his
lame leg. The old man is sadly missed from

a noble stagger to ill the bill. During the
game Tredway darted out through the side

whom he installed on the Los Angeles
bench as mascot, but for some reason the
mascot did not work. Luck was against the
Angels. The score:

A TRAIN-ROBBER CAUGHT.
While Deep in His Cups He Gives
the Snap Away.
Now He Is Sorry fer His Imprudsnt words-He
Makes Clean Breast Of His Part
in the Crime.

81 am one of the Pixley train-robbers,"
said John Griffith to Deputy Sheriff Fonzo
of Berkeley yesterday.
Griffith had gone to FonzO's hotel the
night before under the Influence of liquor
to get room. He acted suspieiously, and
FonZo listened at the keyhole. He over
heard Griffith say to himself, IF they ge!
on to me I'm a goner." Fonzo arrested him
and he made the confession above. He was
taken to the County Jail from Berkeley last
night
When interviewed by CALL reporter
the prisoner said that he was one OF the four
men who robbed Southern Pacific train
near Pixley, Tulare County, in February,
three years ago. The others concerned with
him In the robbery were two white men
named Barker aud Ramsberg and an Indian.
Ramsberg, Griffith said. committed suicide
at Centerville, Fresno County, seven months
after the robbery, and Barker is still living
in the hills in Fresno County. The In
dams whereabouts are not known. Grif-
htb's parents live in Fresno County and are
well off, according to bis own statements.
Griffith said that after the robbery he went
to Honolulu as sailor, on the vessel
Northern Lights. and came back on the
same vessel last Sunday, afterward wander
ing to Berkeley.
Il have been drinking" he said, land as
have already talked in my cups, I may as
well make clean breast of it. Barker and
l were out hunting cattle when we came
upon Ramsberg and the Indian in camp,
Somebody proposed the robbery. and / went
into it for revenge, as | had once been
thrown Off train at Tulare by a brakeman,
and had my skull fractured.
I'VE rode to near a station below Tulare
where we staked our horses and, after
boarding the train. sat In the smoker
awhile. Ramsberg and the Indian went
forward and stopped The train a mile be-
yond PIxley. We went through the cars
and there was some shooting. in which /
believe somebody was killed. Ramsberg
and the Indian broke into the express-caT
with an ak. We got but very little property
and my share was only $500.
AFTER the robbery we walked back to
where the horses were and rode to Center
vile. There we separated, all going to
Fresno. however We staid several days at
Ramsberg's place in the hills to cure our
wounds, as had been hit with slug in my
face and Ramsberg was hurt in the
shoulder by a missile. We buried tsome
jewelry there and can take you TO where
it is.
II am sorry now / said anything about
this, but you may as well know it ALL"
Griffith is not more than 25 years old. He
is very nervous from drink, but he tells
consistent story. He says that he took but
little part in the actual robbery and does
not know who did the killing.
Il got on ship and stayed there for fear
/ w0nid begin TO brag while drunk" he said,
''as am peculiar fellow in that respect
and now l have done the very thing didn't

THE GREAT THOUGHT BELT.
How 1t Has Affected the Generals
Maybell.
They Are surcharged TO Such an Extent
That They Must Go East 10 Work
It Off.

On Wednesday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Stephen Maybell, generals In the Army of
the Kingdom of Heaven at Hand, held an
informal reception at their home, IA Sew
enteenth street 1t is their intention TO
leave for New York next Monday evening
to open a campaign for the reformation of
the world. and large number of friends
called to bid them good-by.
The reception took place in the Office of
the generals, where they have labored hard
for the past two years perfecting the new
doctrine promulgated by Maybell.
All their friends wished them success in
the great undertaking, and urged them to
hold few meetings In San Francisco.
This the generals declined to do, as the de-
lay would break in upon the arrangements
already made for the journey.
Both the officers have been busy ever
since the wedding preparing for the cam
palgD. All the newspaper accounts of their
unique ceremony in Metropolitan Temple
have been carefully clipped and pasted In
serapbooks. They have had their photo
graphs taken on one card in uniform, sew
eral bales of which have already been
packed for shipment to New York, and
Maybell has written number OF hymns,
set to song and dance music, and which will
be printed as soon as the seat of war is
reached.
The manuscript of his divine revelation of
the scripture of the Kingdom of Heaven at
Hand is also ready for the printer, together
with a number of other works of religious
political nature by the same gifted author.
The generals declare that their hearts are
in the work; that poverty must go, and that
the world will be saved politically and spir-
itualiy.
When asked why he did not begin In San
Francisco, the birthplace of the new reli-
gion, the general said it was utterly impos-
sble for him to do so. Both he and his
wife were the essence of the earth and were
not appreciated here. They were sur
charged with the divine spirit and had TO
go East to work it off, According to May
BELLS explanation the way they came to be
loaded was this:
The earth is encirced with a great
thought belt, which rushed with great
rapidity flom east to west In its flight
this thought belt picks up great intellects
and carries them along. When it reaches
the Pacific Coast the thinking minds are de-
posted on the shore. Not being fishes they
cannot cross the ocean. so they accumulate
until they finally become inspired with great
and holy resolves. Then they rebound on
the thought current and land in New York
where kindred spirits abound. This is why
