mrs. UHLMANN'S TURN.
Lawyer Cofey Arrested for
Felony Embezzlement.
The Divekeeper's Wife Charges Him With
Keeping Money Given for Her Hus-
bands Release-An Old Story.

M. M. Coffey, a notorious Police Court at
torney, was arrested last night on charge
of felony enlightenment made by Mrs
Emma Uhlman.
The readers of THE CALL have read the
UhIman story. The leading character is a
Pacifc-street diyekeeper, who compelled
his young daughters TO work in MS foul
smelling cellar. One OF the girls ground a
hand organ at the door and the other sup
piled the patrons of the miserable den with
steam beer.
The girls were obliged to listen to the OBJ
scene stories and songs told and sung by
the patrons Of the place.
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children heard of the abominable treat
ment to which the girls were subjected and
had their unnatural father arrested.
Uhlmann was charged with employing
minors in a place where liquor was sold,
and the society was about to place q more
serious charge against him, that OF cOmpell-
ing his children 10 become inmates OF a
house of ill-repute. when he was released
from custody and fled from the city.
This is how he was released His wife
gave Coffey $50 to put up as bail Cor her
husbands release and 1t was accepted.
Then the clerk of the court was asked
to accept In lieu of Mrs. Uhlmapn's
Coffey and Philip Dolau, Merchant street
saloon-keeper.
The bonds were accepted by the clerk and
the money was turned over, so it is said, to
C0ffey.
Mrs. Uhlmanr saw nothing more of her
$50, which she thinks should have been re-
turned to her when bonds were accepted
instead for her husbands release, SO she
had Coffey arrested.
Coffey sat for half an hour in the City
Prison. He twirled his-red mustache, and
with plainly visible effort put ON smiling
countenance.
AT the end Of his thirty minutes OF pen
ance he was released on $1,000 bonds, given
by Edward Harris and Harry Brown,
Kearny-street clothiers, and accepted by
acting Police Judge Campbell.

The man who is to suffer the sentence of
the court was n non-uniou blacksmith i'm

ness. A fight followed and he shot man
named Ellis, for which he is now to suffer.
although he was stabbed twice in the en-.
counter.
He IS very bitter against those who were
instrumental in securing his conviction and
says it was done with false testimony. But
be vows to be even. When he has served

graciously, he intends to devote the rest of
his life TO taking vengeance on his enemies
he was keptin irons when on the steamer.

Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1S.-The off cials of
the General Land Office were today shown
an interview with MI Jerome G. Madden
OF ths Southern Pacific Land Department in
winch ne says The CALLS Washington dis
patch, printed last Tuesday, concerning the
oao hX Oh that comDany's land affairs, was
All wrong, and that the statement that the
southern PaeIfc Company must correct its
hiings was "all bosh." Mr.. Gideon of the
railroad division having the matter in
charge said to-day after reading The
oALL's dispatch: That telegram is cor
rect. In every statement of fact it is abso-
lutely accurate. The Southern Pacific will
hnd that 1t is not all bosh. They must cor
rect these filings or every one that is de-
fective Will be cancelled as 40, 600 were on
Monday week ago. There are hundreds
OF thousands of their indemnity selections
IN the same fix and if they know what is
best for them they will at once take steps
TO set matters right
There are other land, grant railroads
whose affairs are somewhat involved in the
same way, but the Southern Pacific is by
far In worse shape than any of them.
Whether they can easily straighten out their
affairs L do not know. They cannot unless
They ought TO begin at the very bottom.
OF course this will involve an immense
amount OF work and so much time has been
allowed to pass that 1t may be difficult
matter tor them to specify each indemnity
selection with the lost section tract for
tract, as required by the department ruling.
However, this is their business and not
ours One thing is sure, as each case is
reached il will be Cancelled unless they
have complied with the departmental rul-
ing. 1 suspect that THE CALLS dispatch
has already been widely copied in the
country papers throughout California, and
hundreds of settlers will, of course, take
advantage OF the Southern Paciic's care
lessness. The latter cannot complain of
this department, however. for they were
given notice last May of what they might
expect"
Another official said: "San Francsco's
public land officials are quoted having ex-
pressed the opinion that there was nothing
much in the whole matter. These officials
may find out that they have superior off,

VICTORIA. 3. c., Oct 1S.-Consul Myers
sat as a commissioner in the Board of Trads
rooms this afternoon in the case of the
seizure of the Coquitlam. F. P. Dewes, of

Robert McKeil, master of the schooner

ferred his skins to the Coquitlam, going ous
to sea to do so. He transferred 773 skins,
in sacks, to the COquitam. On the same
night, after o'clock, outside of the three
mile limit, he received two tons OF coal from
the Coz. atlam. The skins were consigned
to w. K. Brown of Victoria.
The Coquitlam steamed back into the bay
after the transfer and Maud S returned ia
Touki Bay. Witness took bearings which
showed him to be outside of the three-mlie

THE MEMOIRS Oh lie CARON.
Telling the Story Of the Fenian Invasion
Of Canada.

LONDON. Oct. 18.--The "reminiscences of
DR.. lie Caron or Thomas Phillip Beech, the
spy for the British Government, who gained
such unenviabe uotoriety in 1889 by his
disclosures on behalf Of the Times before
the Parnell Commission, are made public.
LIE Caron recOunts his early life as IL Is al
ready known, and describes how Tennes-
see girl, who afterward married him,
rescued him from Confederate marauders
during the Civil War in the United States.
He calls himself fatalist and says: II
never sought Fenianism. Fenianism rather
came to me-" He declares that when he
aud General O'Neill were received at the
White House in Washington by President
Johnson, the President told General O'Neill
that he sympathized with the Fenians and
was willing to do all in his power to assist
the Fenian movement.
"You must remember" said President
johnson. Il gave you fully five days before
Issuing the proclamation stopping you. In
GODS name. What more did you want? If
you could not get there in five days, by =,
you could never get there. And then. As
President, am compelled 10 enforce the
neutrality laws, or be denounced on every
side"
Le Caron describes TO the utmost detail
the whole Fenian movement against Can
ada. showing how be became acquainted
with every man OF any importance con-
neeted with the movement.
The Irish part OF the memoirs is Of less
interest from the fact that all 1t contains
was revealed before the Parnel commits
sion. lie Caron says that the Clan-na-
Gaels wild plans included treaty
with Russia. the manufacture of a
submarine torpedo-boat to inflict ter
rible damage on the British navy, and
plots TO assassnate the Queen. to kidnap
the Prince of Wales and TO rescue Michael
Davitt from prison. lie Car0n gives the text
of secret circular prepared for the 1yna-
mite campaign in the event of Mr.. Glad
stones home rule scheme being inadequate.
In regard 10 the modern Irish American
agltator, Egan, IIa Caron says: "Gold is his
God, his brevary and his beads. He at
tains his ends by jobbery, triekery and de-
lusiOn Of the meanest and most despicable
type. He bravely and blusteringly advo-
Gates desperate enterprises from sale
distance of 5000 miles"
lie Caron says that DR.. Gallagher, who con-
trolled the dynamite campaign, WAS often
in Parliament and, he had heard, had been
introduced 10 Mr.. Gladstone. One plan
devised was to blow up Parliament by
throwing bombs on the table In front of the
Sneaker; another project, to steal the
stone of Scone, which serves as the seat
of the coronation chair in Westminster Alb
bey. on which the Irish Kings are believed
TO have been crowned for centuries on the
sacred hill OF Tara.
The book contains numerous interesting
portraits and its literary style is rather diff

GONE INTO WINTER QUARTERS.
Evans and SOntag Are Practically SAFE
From Pursuit.

FRESNO, Oct 1S.-A letter received To-
day from C. II. Maxwell states that there is
every reason to believe that Evans and
Sontag are located in the vicinity Of Watts
Valley, about fifteen miles north of Samp-
son Flat. Provisions have recently been
taken in there on pack animals for some
parties unknown. and Maxwell thinks this
means that supplies are tbeing laid in by
the bandits for the winter.
Two men have recently been seen in that
locality answering the description of Evans
and Sontag. A few days ago rancher out
hog hunting came upon them and had some
talk. They were heavily armed. but were
very uncommunicaIive as to their names
and business. He was positive they were
the fugitive bandits, but was afraid to sug-
gest anything of the kind.
The presence of these strangers and the
fact that provisions have recently been
taken on pack mules in the night from
Sanger up there is certainly peculiar. The
country around Watts Valley is terribly
broken up, and is a tangle OF forest growth.
1t abounds in safe hiding places, and the
outlaws could rest there in practical Sc
curity.
