FATAL LA GRIPPE.
Moses Hopkins Succumbs to Its
Dread Attack.
The Last Of a Noted Family-His Career in
Cslifornia-A Breach of Promise Case
in Which He Figured

Moses Hopkins, who has been a familiar
figure in this city since the death OF his
brother, Mark Hopkins, many years
ago. snccumbed yester day morning at
7:30 o'clock to heart failure, superin-
duced by an attack of la grippe,
from which he suffered for several weeks.
His demise occurred at his city residence,
corner Of Clay and Buchanan streets. His
wife and few family friends were at his
bedside when he passed away.
The deceased was the sixth of a family of
seven sons, all of whom except Mark were
born in Henderson, n. Y. Moses was the
last of his family, having survived his
brothers several years. He was born in
1917 and attained his seventy-fifth year jusl
two weeks ago. In 1852 he came to Cali
fornia and devoted himself to farming pur-
suits in Suffer County.
HE ACQUIRES WEALTH.
When his brother Mark died without
leaving him any of the vast wealth he &C
qured in his railroad enterprises, he came
out of his retirement, took up his residence
in this city and forced the railroad mag
mates widow into a compromise. by which
he came into possession OF about S3,000,000.
Upon acquiring this great wealth Mr..
Hopkins made liberal use of 1t in pr omoting
charitable works and in the endowment of
school in Oakland, since called the Hop
kins Academy"
Up to this time the deceased had been a
bachelor, but in 1884 he paid a visit to the
East, where be married Miss Emily Bene-
dict, of the weil-knewn New York family
OF that name. This marriage precpitated
him into Il lawsuit, which was the wOrri-
ment OF his later years, for Mrs. Harriet
Moore almost Immediately brought suit
against him for breach Of promise and laid
her damages at S250,C0O
According to the plaintiffs story she met
the defendant in 1882 at her office Oh Mar
ket street, where he went for the purpose
of having his badness Temedied.
MRS. MOOREiS STORY.
He took her treatment for a considerable
space Of time, and then, falling in love with
her charms, proposed for her hand. The
defendant stoutly denied her allegations,
but San MaIeO jury found for the widow,
and brought IN verdict for $50, 900. From
this an appeal was taken 10 the Supreme
Court, and judgment reversed. The suit
was subsequently settled by the payment of
something IN the neighborhood Of $4,000.
The deceased leaves no other relatives
than his wife and nephew, f. W. Hopkins,
who had been intimately associated IN
business with him for several years. His
estate, valued at between $1,000 Geo and
$1,000 600, consists chiefly Of real estate in
this city, Alameda, Los Angeles, Orange
and San BeInartln0 counties, aud major
ity Of The stock in the Alameda Water Com
pany. which supplies Berkeley with water.

rant mans back was turned Victor sneaked
In and tried 10 shoot him in the back. The
