Annie NJ. e. Wilson, niece of Raymond.
In his will he bequeathed most of his
property to Mrs. Pauline Bullard. his

her death to her daughter. Bertha Bullard.
Among other bequests were $1,000 to the
city of Sacramento, and a like amount to
the son of James p. Brown, one of the

signing woman.
According to statements of the execu-
tors of the will, James p. Brown and DR..
Luke Robinson, the estate is worth only
$4,000, but the petitioners allege it is worth
100000.

make no attempt to escape. Sharp's
word was always good. He was driven

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Strenuous eff
forts have been made by the Congress
men favoring and those opposing the
McCreary substitute for the Geary bill to
agree upon time when the bill shall be
considered. 1t is feared there will be no
quorum in the House as soon as vote is
taken on the Federal election law re-
peal bill, and efforts will be made to get
the bill up as soon after this vote as pos
sible. Some of its opponents want to put
it off until the lst of next Noyem Der to
wait for quorum. There is little doubt
expressed that the bill will go through as
soon as vote can be reached. Several
Western members are preparing speeches

Not cent of the Governors or his

The fund was raised by nearly 10000

to drafts for 5000. The money came
from nearly every section OF the coun-

TERmAaANr ON A RAMPAGE.
policeman CarlI's HOusekeeper
Armed with q Hatchet Raises
q Big Rumpus.

A Mrs. Harrington, who has left her
husband and taken up her abode with
police officer Samuel CARL, created q
scene on Lemon street last Tuesday
which, for time, gave evidence of a
sanguinary conflict. By-standers, with
awe upon their countenances, were
ready to bear away the dead and
wounded should any be left, but were
not sufficiently courageous to prevent
the impending crisis'' which soon
broke forth with all the fury, and some
OF the damage, of western cyclone.
When Mrs. Harrington left her home
and fed to the sheltering home of
officer CARL for succor and two dollars
a week, she and her husband divided
their furniture.
Tuesday Mr.. Harrington secured a
carter to haul his share of the goods
from the house on Lemon street where
he had been living. The house of
officer CARL overlooks the home aban-
doned by Mrs. Harrington, and while
Mr.. Harrington was loading up the
furniture, his wife was looking on
from window.
She saw the removal of a bed.stead
she claimed as hers, and Fastening to
the wagon, she demanded the bed
stead. MIR. Harrington demonstrated,
and said it belonged to him.
Then came dispute as to the
ownership of the articles.
"Tis mine, tits mine, tits mine," said
she. "Taint do it; tits mine, tits mine,
'tis mine," said he. To end the pro.
fitless dispute and settle forever
the question of ownership, Mrs. Har-
rington walked into the house, seized
Ratchet and with it fourishing In her
hand she clambered into the wagon
where. with Amazonian courage and
vigor, she split the bedstead into kind
ling wood. utterly destroying this
piece of household furniture.
Her husband meekly looked on the
scene of destruction and when she dis
mounted from the wagon and quietly,
like satisfied tigress, calmly walked
backed to the house of officer CARL,
the poor husband and the rest of the
crowd breathed "a sigh of relief" and
the moving the goods went on without
further molesting by the irate woman.
No complaint was made by the hus.
band and no arrest is likely.
