AN ABLE JURIST GONE.
Death of Ex-Judge T. K. Wilson at
Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES, Oct. 10-Judge T. K.
Wilson, who was prostrated by stroke of
spoplexy on Saturday night. died at the
family residence last evening at o'clock.
Yesterday Judge Wilson felt so much
better that he thought he could dress. but
his improved condition was brief. and he
soon grew worse and passed away at the
time mentioned.
Thomas Kingsbury Wilson was born in
Bradford, Me-. April %. 1887. The early
life of Judge Wilson was the same in many
respects as that of the average New Eng
lander. Early in 1860 be came to Califor-
MA and settled at Mokelumne Hill, Gala
veras County, where he taught school for
brief period. Judge Wilson entered the
law Office of the late Judge Brockwav. and
after a somewhat prolonged course of
study was admitted to practice in the
Supreme Court Of the State. Elected Dis
trict Attorney Of Calaveras County, he
served one term, at the end of which he
moved 10 San Francisco. forming a part
nership with FL. j. Tilden, which contin-
ued until 1879. In that year he was
elected one of the Superior Judges of that
city and county, drawing the one-year
term. He was twice reelected, and served
upon the bench in San Francisco for ten
years.

MUSICIANS DISBANDED.
Some rIembers of the Park Band
Will Be Re.enoaged,

Each member of the Park band received
from Director Spadna on Sunday after
noon, just prior to the rendering of the
final number. the following announce
ment:
You are hereby notified that your engage.
ment terminates with this concert.
As yet there has been no announcement
of re-engagements and none OF the bands
men know whether their services will be
required further, or whether the usual
Thursday concert will be held tomorrow
or not.
The musicians think this reorganization
means the freezing out of many of their
number. About week sgo S. Davis, the
drummer, who is a personal friend of
Spadina, circulated for signatures docu-
ment stating that the director was COM
petent and urbane, and requesting j. D..
Redding as trustee to retain him. Only
fifteen signatures out Of thirty-nine were
obtained, and Davis says he let the natter
drop. AS punishment for withholding
their names many bandsmen fear they
will not be re-engaged.
Trouble has also been brewing between
Spadna as director and |. G. Coggin, the
business manager. The former is sup
posed to desire to usurp the latter's func-
tiOns and to have the entire control of the
organization. Coggin denies that he had
quarreled with Spadina. but declines to
express an opinion as to the latter's quail
ifcations for leadership.
The bandsmen are protesting vigorously
about the expenditure of $1,000 for music
during the past year. They say that the
selections purchased were all cheap, cost
ing or francs. and they think the total
price paid excessive and absurd. consider
ing the standard and character of the
pieces. The bandsmen also take excep-
tion to the charge of $50 for Trustee Bed
ding's bookkeeper and the charge for Office
rent, suggesting that the work done by
this man in Redding's Office could as well
be performed by the treasurer of the band,
who also has a separate Office in the same
building.
j. d. Reddipg stated that he had in
structed Spadina to re-engage as many of
the resent ba3dsmen as are competent.
He avows his determination to retain both
Spadina and Coggin. stating the duties
performed by each ara so various that Do
one man could fill both positions. The
trustee added that he had heard no CON-
plants about the standard of the music al
the concerts or the selections played. He
added that he would be glad to receive
suggestions about the class of music in the
programmes. and would endeavor to give
the music-l0ving public just what it de.
sired.

PROCEEDINGS IN DETAIL.
Chairman Emory Makes a Most In.
tereSting Address,

Los Angeles. Oct 10.-The morning
session OF the Irrigation Congress was
taken UP with temporary organization, after
which recess was taken.
The congress reassembled at :45 but
the credentials committee not being ready
to report recess was taken IN til o'clock.
Colonel Hinton said that there were no
contests or trouble of any kind, but it re-
quired considerable labor to arrange in
proper order the names of the 240 dele
gates. 1t was estimated at 2 o'clock that
there were present between 200 and 300
delegates, but 1t was impossible to secure
an absolutely correct list owing to the con-
slant arrivals and the fact that not all
were registered despite the advertisement
of place to do so.
AT 2:30 o'clock the congress came to
order and listened to telegram frerq the
Texas delegation. on the way here: and the
best wishes of Arthur Thomas of Salt Lake
City.

through Colonel Hinton, the chairman.

A SENSATIONAL MELODRAMA.
"The Span of Life' at the California
Theater.


The belated train having arrived Mr..
Sutton Wallis realistic melodrama" was
produced at the California last evening
for the first time In San Francisco by Will
liam Calder's English company. AT least
we judge the company to be English as
most of its active members spoke with a
pronounced Cockney accent, and scat
tered their "aitches" promiscuously,
The glory of this melodrama is
its business. The plot is easily
recognized as an ''old 'uD," and the text
all through has a familiar ring. We
would call it, in some respects. miscel-
lane0us declamatory drama. because there
10 more and varied business hustled into
1t than any stage play ought to carry, and
the leading people in the cast always de-
claim in advance of the action what they
are going to do and how they propose to

first marriage. Dunstan Leech, played

ter Eytinge, cast for the part, being too i'll

Their mission is to make it warm for the
half brother, Cecil jeff, for Kate Heath
cote and for Richard Blunt, her husband.
They fulfill this mission as thoroughly as
they can. Cecil jeff. who stands In his

inoculated with morphine. Blunt is false
ly accused Of robbery and narrowly
escapes going to Pentonville. After
many adventures most OF the party
turn up in Africa, Leech, the villain,
still pursuing them. OF all the incaInate
ruffians that ever came from the teeming
brain of dramatist DuDstan Leech Is en-
titled to the palm. He even plots TO de-
stroy the mother who bore him, and who
has sacrificed herself for his profit as the
son of the only man she ever loved. Her
second husband, Jelf, did not count in her
matrimonial experience. but the subse-
quent pursuit of Blunt and his wife by
Leech Is In a measure purposeless, and
therefore there is no particular strength
in his business. 1t IS forced. The light
house scene is good one, but was not
adequately presented. In the living
bridge over the Kings chasm in
Africa there was an effective acrObatc
feat such as the English Crags
used to do at one Of our local theaters
some years ago, and most of the third act
is written up to this bridge OF living
bodies. In the same act there is some
London music-hall business-a song and
dance by Miss Dolly Harmer. who is as
coarse in her style as it Is possible to be
and Nutty Brown willis Scate) make the
low comedy of the piece, which is horsy
and smells of the circus and the sawdusl.
We take it that when William Calder
found this comedy in London it was
favorite at a Whitechapel theater or ia
one of the transporting houses. 1t is just
the thing TO flourish there, but it will
hardly bear trapsplanting to American
soil. The same bill tonight.

full vote cast. Local issues largely gov

headed the Democratic ticket for Mayor
and Caleb S. Denny the Republican. At
$50 o'clock returns from one-third of the

Nearly complete returns show that the
entire Republican ticket has been elected
by nearly 5000 majority.
