why the Preacher Did Not Ask BnI
Scott for a Contribution.
The late William L. Scott, who had mil
lions IN railroads. coal mines and horses,
became better known late in life for adj

raw-material message in 1887 than for all
his great business accomplishments. saws

way TO MS pocket and give literally for
politics, charity and to help friend. Up
In Erie. Pa, he was called "Bilr' Scott bv
everybody. In company with Andrew j
Cassatt he built the New York, Pennsvl-
aud Norfolk Railroad down the eastern
shore Of Maryland and Virginia to Cane
Charles City. Mr.. Scott went down on one
occasion 10 his private ear, and just as he
arrived there the rain began to pour down
and kept coming down for a week. He
was greatly Disguised and provoked at the
delay. and conducted a great deal OF his
correspondence with other parts of the
world by telegraph, and refused to leave his
car or the point. expecting for some time
that the weather would clear up.

Scott was cautious man In his talks with

PATRICK CONNOLLY DEAD.
Sudden Termination of a
Useful Life.
The Well-Known Ex-sh.riff Expires After q
Very Brief Illnes'-shOrt Sketch of
His Career.

Patrick Connolly, an ex-Sheriff OF this
city and county. passed away last evening
after three days illness. which until the
last moment was thought to be OF the most
trivial character.
On Friday last he was taken with what
the doctors diagnosed as an attack of indi-
gestion, and up to within an hour of his
death there was nothing TO arouse the least
alarm as to the patients condition. Half
an hour before bis demise his appearance
first betokened the serious character of his
ailment. and his doctor and Spiritual ad-
wiser were hurriedly called toattend him.
Both reached his bedside in few moments,
but Ii was too late for the doctor to be of
service and only the clergyman's ministra-
tioDs were accepted.
The exact cause Of desth'is unknown. but
Is believed Oebe heart failure.
Patrick Connolly was born In County
Monaghan, Ireland, in 1899, and when
eight years old was brought by his parents
TO the United States. When twenty years
old he came to California and for a time
worked In the mines. He.snbsequently en-
tered the employment OF Wells, Fargo &
Co. and for close upon. twenty years was
one OF their most trusted employees. liz 1881
he was Invited by his party to accept the
nomination for the. 'shrevalty on the Demo
(. cratic 1lcket lie accepted the honor and
was returned by a splendid majority.
When his election was assured the direct
ors OF Wells. Fargo * Co. voted him a two
years holiday in sckno wled gment OF his
long and faithful services. and informed
him that his position in their employ would
be kept open for him until after the close of
his term of office.
Mr.. Connolly never availed himself Of this
privilege, but at the close OF his term re-
tired to the enjoyment OF his private
fortune.
His loss will be mourn ed by large ci role
OF friends and aequaintanees TO " hom he
had endeared himself by his good fellow
ship and kind-heartedness. HIS only sur
vfvng relatives are his widow aud his
brothers. Peter and Bernard Connolly, all

SITTING: IN JUDGMENT. .
Buckley's Power Has Been Delegated to
Committee.

Buckley'a Power Has Been DELEGATED to
Committee.
There Is such well-developed kick In
progress within the ranks Of the Demo-
cratic party that it looks as if nothing could
reconcile 1t. The workers of the party are
disgruntled and sore, and are making
threats Of so serious nature that they can
not but work 10 the de lTiment Of any ticket
that may be nominated.
SO far as can be learned, the great trouble
he that lew men, who are ambitious and
INSCRIPTIONS, ale determined. If possible, to
secure control OF the Organization of the
party, and they are working it for all it is
worth. 10 them, 1t seems, power. no matter
how acquired, is the chief end to be at
tanned, and every effort is being bent In that
direction.
There is little cabal consisting of five
members OF the executive committee who
meet every evening in small room over the
Hibernia Bank to pass judgment upon all
that is being done by the Democratic party
locally. They are Sullivan, Dryer, Daniels,
Eiekhof and Watkins. During the last few
days they have been busly engaged in can
wasting the list of the names of the men
nominated for delegates -at-large to the APP
preaching municipal convention and no one
who does not suit the purposes Of the COM
mittee will be allowed to serve. Their ex-
cuse Tor their action Is that they are an
advisory committee merely for the cam
paigD committee.
yesterday, as consequence, every Dem
ocratlc worker in the city was discussing
the matter in all its phases and such howl
as went up has not been heard for many a
day. The entire plan was denounced as I'M
Democratic and IL WAS openly stated by
scores OF old-timers that il would drive
from the party hundreds of voters

press himself in loud and strong
terms. When the Baptist preacher called
on him. Mr.. Scott read his letter of intro
duetion. which did not refer to the object of
the preachers call. The Jealous pastor
was welcomed by Mr.. Scott. who did not
notice that his caller was a man of the
cloth. He told his visitor what great
future the city had. and how it would build
up. and something of his plans for increas-

crush would ensue. This was discovered at
tie Stanford mass-meeting two years ago,
when the Wigwam with a seating capacity
of 5000 could not accommodate the vast
crowd by half. More than that the pro-
ceedings were constantly interrupted by
clubs marching into the hall with bands and
