CHARLES AND rlABEI.
A Mission Florist Deserts His Wife
and Runs Away With Another.

Charles ri. Simpson, who did business as
a florist at Valencia and Eighteenth streets,
Is no longer there 10 attend to the wants of
those who were his customers. He disap-
peared on the Attn inst, aud on the same
day Mabel, the wife of George Pabsf. also
disappeared. From the fact that Simpson
and his family aud Pabst and wife were on
friendly terms, and that Charles and Mabel
were very often in each others company IL
is supposed that they departed together.
Mabel Pabst about two years ago took a
quantity OF poison, and while she was
being pumped out by q physician Pabst
saw her ana fell In love with her. When
relieved OF the poison she had taken and was
on The high road To recovery she declared
that she would marry Pabst and did so.
Some time after this, Simpson, his wife
and young daughter arrived in this city
from Indiana and located near the Pabsts.
Ihey all became acquainted, but it was not
long before there was trouble in the Pabst
family, which recently eliminated In Mr..
and Mrs. Pabst signing articles of separa-

son. that individual entered his home and
told his wife that on the following day he
had TO go 10 San MateO TO acce ut a situation

UNJUST ASSESSMENT.
Property Are Still Protesting
Against Street-Extension Jobs.

The owners Of property In the neighbor-
hood Of Sixteenth street met last night at
the corner of Twentieth and Guerrero
streets for the purpose of protesting
against the unjust methods OF assessment
now employed by the Board of Supervisors
The meeting was opened by Supervisor
elect J. q. James, who after few preliminary
remarks Informed the club that he thought
that as he had been elected to office it
would be inconsistent of him to still hold
the office of president of the club. and re-
quested the first yice-presid ent. ex-Judge
HOrDbOwer, to take the chair. The resig-
nation was accepted, and the temporary
chairman made permanent
Mr.. James said that he would when duly
installed in his Office hold the same opinion
regarding the stTeet-eXtenSiOn jobs as be
always has held, and would do all in his
power to abolish them.
But little business was transacted, the
principal work being the appointment of
various committees. One of these, COM
posed of the president and secretary, is to
meet committees from the PotrerO avenue
and Post street clubs, with a view TO arrange
some definite plan of action whereby all the
clubs may strike al once and work together,
that their influence may be felt more when
they bring an official protest before the
Supervisors.
Another committee. composed of Messrs.
Center. Van DuZer and Roche, were ap-
pointed to wait on Supervisor Taber aud
ascertain what he intends to do about keep
ing his promise OF working for low assess
ment. The president aud Mr.. Van DuZer
will search the law and see what methods
can best be employed to keep the matter
delayed until the new Supervisors shall take
their seats.
The meeting was then adjourned until
Saturday evening, when it is expected that
final plans OF action will be settled upon.
