Another mutineer against the voluntarily

The latest complainant is Harry Victor
Lindsey, who asks the Superior Court to
release him from Anita, his lawful welded
wife.
They were married In the City Of Mexico
on October II. 1890, but Henry Victor says
she has since disappointed him.
She married him. and not any one named
Edward Roe. why then. does she prefer
the company Of Edward Roe?" he asks in
his trouble.
She appeared all right no till the end OF
last April, ana then he says she left him for
this Roe and remained with that gentleman
at 102 Ellis until the 18th OF MAY.
Why did Anita thus openly disregard her
marriage vows?
This and other questions the fair defend
ant will doubtless be given an opportunity
to reply to when the suit is tried in Judge

MARY CARROLL'S DEATH.
DR.. E. S. Beale's Examination
Commenced.
The Defense Interposes Objections to the Gem.
PLAINTIFF New Facts Obtained from
the Witnesses.

The preliminary examination Of D.. II. 5.
Beale, alias Haven, alias Hunter. alias
Harper, and many other aliases, was begun
In Judge Loves court yesterday afternoon
at o'clock.
For some reason, just what no one can be
found to tell, instead of charging Dr. Beale-
Haven, his wife, Nellie Haven, and Hattie
Graham, his alleged mistress. jointly, they
are all charged separately, and this fact
prevents the admission of much damaging
testimony so far as DR.. Beale is concerned.
Notwithstanding this there will be enough
testimony on which to hold the physician
for trial.
When the complaint, sworn to by Detec-
tive Rogers. was read to DR.. Beale- Haven
he arose and said his true name is Henry s..
Harvey.
Judge FerIal Of his counsel then objected
to the complaint on the ground that De-
t+ctive Rogers had no knowledge OF the
facts in the case except by Information and
belief. and that under the decision OF the
Supreme Court in The Dimmck case COM
plant on Information and belief is worth
less. He asked that Detective Rogers be
put on the stand and examined. This Judge
Love declined 10 do, overruling the OBJ
lection.

REAL ESTATE TAXATION.
A Rise in the Assessment to
Be Resisted.
Mayor sanderson and the Finance Committee
Lssvs for Sacramento to Defend the
City's Interests

The Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors. consisting OF Mayor Sanderson,
ex-officiO, and Supervisors Ebert and Bur
ling. left last night for Sacramento in an
swer to the summons of the State Board
of Equalization to show cause why the as
sessment for the city and county should not
be raised.
The summons is general in its character
and does not specify any fixed increase
which the Board of Equalization intends to
impose on the taxpayers of this city. Since
its service on the city officials the Finance
Committee has taken steps to protect the
rights Of the taxpayers here by securing
data from the counties which have not been
threatened with an increase In the assess
ment, and from the information thus COL
lated the committee hopes to prove that
instead of an increase of the assessment
San Francisco. by reason of a deterioration
Of values during the last six or eight months.
ought to be afforded relief by reduction oil
the present assessment. In other words,
the committee holds that If the data obtained
from the counties which have not been
called upon to defend their assessment rep
resents fair valuation in the eyes of tho
Board OF Equalization, then San francisco
is too heavily assessed and ought to be
afforded some relief.
10 sustain their position the Supervisors
engaged Thomas Magee as an expert
to explain the depreciation in values Of
property within the last twelvem0ntb. and
under their instructions he has since pre-
pared tables showing the depreciation In
value Of real estate since the beginning of
the year. amounting from % TO 80 per cent
in certain portions Of the city.
The committee was accompanied on their
trip to Sacramento last night by Assessor
SeIbe and three Of his deputies, namely
Deputy Maloney of the personal property
department., Deputy Briggs of the real
estate department aud Deputy Tyrrel Of the
mortgages department.

SAYS THE OFFICER WAS FRESH.
Why William Curtin Battered Policem n N
Dawes.

Judge Love found William Curtin. the
manager of a secondhand store on Market
street, near Seventh, guilty yesterday of
battery upon Policeman w. A. Dawes.
Curtin was charged with receiving stolen
goods as we'll as battery, but the former
charge was dismissed.
From the testimony it seems that Police
man Dawes located, or thought he located, a
box Of carpenters tools reported as stolen.
In Curtin's place.. The policeman went there
TO search the place and found Curtin absent.
The latter came in while the officer was at
work and a row ensued.
Curtin claims he came into his place and
found Dawes In citizens clothes without a
star displayed rummaging through his books
and stock and naturally resented it,
Policeman Dawes says he told Curtin who
and what he was and the latter refused 10
allow him TO do anything.
Curtin will he sentenced to-day and will,
he says, file charges against the policeman
before the Commissioners on Monday next

A STARTLING RUMoR.

The Private Dispatch Sent Dat by New
York Doctor.
According to report received yesterday
the cholera has actually made its appearance
in New York City.
This startling intelligence WAS received
yesterday morning by appointment physi-
clan Of this city in private dispatch from
Dr. Jenkins OF the New York Board of
Health.
The case in which the cholera developed
itself was that of a Russian Finn, who was
attacked with all the symptoms of the dis
ease several days ago
The patient was placed in strict quaran-
tine. but the physicians were 10th to believe
that it was anything more serious than chol-
era moTbus.
However, the true cholera made itself
clearly manifest yesterday, and the most
rigid precautions will be taken by the New
York officials to prevent the spread of the
disease.

The prisoner had apparently lost much In

Hard as he strove to conceal his emotions,
it was noticeable that he was i'll at ease and
oppressed by the terrible faIe which weighed

court in the execution of the judgment Of

A Judgment for Big Note Rendered
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Yesterday Judge Hunt rendered decision
in stubbornly contested suit.
1t was all about promissory note. There
were some mines which looked very
promising and Israel w. Knox and Isaac
Trumbo wanted to borrow some money to
work them.
Adolph Weske lent them the money on a
note, but could get no repayment Knox
and Trumbo had both understood thai the
money was lent to be repaid out of the
mines, and was. as it were. kind of in
vestment In their project.
The mines did not pan out as well rs
expected, and after the principal and
interest had run on for time, the matter
was brought into court.
Judge Hunts judgment was in favor Of
r. Percy Wright, the holder OF the note, for
Ss4, 444 principal and S57, AIT interest against
Knox and Trumbo; and In favor Of Trumbo
against plaintiff and ntervenor for his
costs.
