Presidency at Chicago in 1884 Curtis was at
the convention, and few dayS later appeared

OF the Democracy. He was introduced TO
Cleveland by warm personal friend of
The latter, and when in March follow
Ing the TWO met Id the " bite House

intimacy sprang up between them, and ii was
said that Curtis not only had the entree of the
executive mansion but his advice was taken by
the President when that of men high in the
council OF the party was ignored.

was Towe's talk that annihilated him. All
Mr.. Towe said was, you can CO." and
the giant got. Behind Mr.. TOwe's talk
was a municipal ordinance, which pre-
scribes the way in which gasoline may be
used. Stanley's giant, perhaps, did not
know. because the great explorer prob
ably had no opportunity or necessity of
explaining the method OF using the great
clothes-cleaner and fake-sbow illuminant
to the natives of Darkest Africa.
MIR. TOwe emphasized his remarks with
a threat of arrest If some other form of
iiluminant were not used. and the proprie-
tor of the show. seeing a couple of police
officers looking on behind the curtain,
thought Mr.. Towe's admonition was
enough. He did not fold his tent. because
it was made of boards. but he put out the
lights, closed the door. and, in company
with the giant a few minutes later. closed
his place for good. The signs were taken
down, as was also the giant 10 size, and
Fakirs' row was bereft of another attrac-
ton.
Punch and Judy were next visited, and
the gasoline ordinance was again called
into play. Punch stopped short never to
go again-at least or Fskirs' row-while
JUDY would have blushed for shame If she
hadn't been made of wood.
The monkeys ceased their chattering,
and solemn stiffness overspread the few
who were in the greatest neral dime

the law to the proprietor. The gasoline
lamps were put out, and another deserted
stand claimed darkness for its own.
Other places IN the row were visited by
Mr.. Towe and THE CALL reporter, but as
in them no violation of ordinances could
be discovered they were left uDdistur bed
Two police officers were stationed on the
street with instructions to arrest the

Lows court yesterday morning and con-
tinued until to-day. Last night the show
was running as usual TO a very slim crowd.
No loud-voiced capper neralded its
wonders to gaping throng Ii was
running evidently as much to maintain
the prOprietor's defiant attitude, perhaps,
as to get in dimes. This morning Marshal
Towe will notify the proprietors that the

they persist in using it tonight he will
immediately order their arrest
Yesterday two of the men who had been
running spindle games in Fakirs' row
called upon Captain Short, at the Southern
station, to ask permission to continue
business. Ii they had been smoking the
cigars they give away they could not have
been more surprised than they were at
Captain Shorts reply. 1t was brief and to
the point. Short as was Shorts reply they
did not wait to hear the end of 1t. Force
OF habit made them take turn, but their
only ambition in life seemed to be to ger as
far away from the Southern station as they
could before the captain should make them
enforced visitors. They did not spin their
spindles last night.

HIS AIM WAS BAD.
Charles Pelton's Attempt
at Suicide.
The Rash Act Was Caused by His
Wife's Refusal to Live With
Him Any Longer.

q Charles II. Peton attempted to end bis life
at the Eureka Musichall on Kearny street last
night because his wife refused to have anything
more to do with him.
Pelton was In the army and while stationed
at Fort Mason about four years ago purchased
his dIsehal &c with money he had saved while
acting in the capacity of barber. Shortly after
ward he got married and started a restaurant
on Pacific street. but it did not pay.
He and his wife then went to work on a ranch
IN the Trinity Mountains. but had to give it up
as his wife found the position Of cook too much
for her. They then returned TO the city and he
tried to Get work as barber, but was not very
successful They then went 10 ranch In
Amador County. and came back to this city
about a month ago.
They engaged room at 7O5 Folsom street.
and he little money they had saved dwindled
away. On Sunday night he went out for d
walk. and when he returned his wife had dis
appeared. He rarched for her, but did not
find any race of her till yesterday. when as he
was passing The Eureka Music-nall, some one
beckoned him to go in and he was handed a
note from her. In the note she told him she
was going 10 begin work at the music-h ii that
night, and she was In the future going to sup
port herself and would not live with him again.
This cruel note drove poor Pelton into the
depths OF despair. and be hastily wrote her a
few lines begging her 10 see him at night and 60
Ddck TO live with him.
He did not have a cent in his pocket, but as
he had made up MS mind that life was not
worth the living without his wife, he went TO
pawnbrokrr's on Pacific street and pawned his
coat and vest TO get enough money to buy a
pistol. The pawnbroker give him an old coat
to wear.
Last night he went to the music-hall and met
his wife. He beg ed her TO live with him again.
but she refused. He told her IL she persisted
he would shoot himself. She replied that he
could do what he liked.
When he was convinced that she was in
earnest In her refusal he went into a toilet
room, pulled out his pistol and fired at his
heart. His aim was bad, aud the bullet instead
OF piercing his heart glanced to one side and
came out under the arm, infllctng only flesh
wound.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital In
the patrol wagon, where Dr. Berry dressed the
wound. The bullet dropped from his clothing
while being undressed on the operating table.
When The doctor told him the nature of he
wound he expressed regret that be bad made a
mess OF 1t. He Is about 80 years OF age.

SPINDLE GAMES CANNOT RUN.
A Watch to Be Maintained on All
Fake Shows-Levy's Case Con-

Two more shows were closed in Fakirs'
low on Market street last night.
Fire Marshal Towe took off his uniform,
preserved his dignity and sailed forth TO
do a Jack-the- Giantkiller, act, and he
did it.
The first call in his dual role of a con-
servator of the dignity and force and eff
feet of the ordinances of the municipality
of San Francisco and exterminator of
elongated specimens of freakmaDity was
on the establishment where SANKEY'S giant
from the Congo was reaping harvest of
dimes from gullible patrons.
Mr.. Towe sized up the giant, and he did
not require a beanstalk to DO it, But il
