WANTS HEAVY DAr1AGES,
An Injured Wife Sues for Balm in
Cold Dollars.

Los ANGELES, Nov 22.-Mrs. Anna A.
Newton has fled complaint in the Supe-
rior Court againt Mrs. Anna P. Spencer
and A. Fl. Spencer, her husband for dam
ages of $4,000
The complaint alleges that on May 1,
1892. and thence at different times until
March /. 1888, Anna P. Spencer did wrong
fully contrive 10 injuTe the plaintiff, de-
prive her of the comfort and society of
her husband while she was living with
him and wickedly maintain criminal rela-
tions with Charles D. Newton, her hus-
band. without her consent. Mrs. Newton
further alleges that Mrs. Spencer was not
restrained by her husband in her intrigue
with Newton. and has alienated his affec-
tons from her entirely.
Newton is a Los Angeles-street livery
man, who short time ago was party t. a
divorce suit brought by his wife; but he
accused his wife of being intimate with a
man named Best. to tffset the charge of
adultery she brought suit against him.
Mrs. Spencer lives on Broadway, near
Ninth street. and she is magnificent
specimen OF womanhood and very wealthy.
All parties are well known here.

Here is an animal sent me from the Fiji

There are three fish that come from deep

"And so the struggle for existence goes

is entirely destitute OF fish.

ton explains all the varying forms of life
but it stands behind all the other forces as
the motor-power, and In connection with
other forces we know there is no reason
for doubling that all forms of life NAV
have sprung from one stock.

THE CONVOCATION
Rev. Mr.. Case Talks About
the Armitage.
Says That Boys at the Orpf1anage
Were Taken Away Because
They Were Starving.

OAKLAND.-The opening sermon of the
Convocation of the Northern District OF
of the Diocese of California was preached
at st. Johns Episcopal Church yesterday
morning.
DR.. Wakefield Of San Jose delivered the
sermon and used as q subject THE Pro-
gress Of Religious Thought in the Epsco-
pal Church During the Past Forty Years"
In his discourse DR.. Wakefield poin led
out the similarity of the progress n both
material and spiritual thought that is
noticeable during the last half century.
The broadening of the churchmen's mental
and spiritual horizon is most pronounced.
To doubt the correctness OF one line Of
holy writ does not now imply a sure sacri-
fce of hope OF heaven.
At the conclusion of DR.. Wake field
sermon the regular business of the cOnyo-
cation was taken up.
DIR. Wallace of Palo Alto asked that
visiting clergymen be instructed to notify
hun before coming 10 the college to b old
could be gathered together hastily i'm
pressed The students wrongly as TO the
interest taken in such matters.
Rev. Mr.. Case then explained the re-
marks he had made last Monday TO the
cleTgymen relative to the runors now cur
Orphanage in San Mateo. He said he had
heard that boys had been taken from the
orphanage aud brought to this city be-
cause they were In starving condition.
This in forms alton created sensation in
the convocation.
Rev. DR.. Cowie answered Mr.. Cases
charges by saying that the rumors must
certainly be false as the orpbanage was
always open TO visitors and the manage
ment of the Institution could be looked IN to
any time.
DR.. Cowie went still further and said
that he had heard expressions OF great sat-
sfaction from men who had visited the
Orphanage who declared that the conduct
Of the place was Efficient and admira ole.
AS for the charge of the prevalence of
sickness the reverend doctor said the on ly
case of illness there was boy with ring
worm, who had been cured In one day.
There are always people TO be found"
concluded the doctor, "who Will find fault
with public institution like this"
The closing exercises of the Episcopal
coDvocation were held last night at ST.
Johns Church.
Ii was missions night. and sermons were
preached by Rev. w. Ii. Moreland of ST..
Luke's. San Francisco, and Rev. +. j.
Mynard OF ST. PauPs. San Francisco. The
convocation adjourned to meet at San
MateO, January 90.

which was listened to with great atten-
ton. DR.. Stark took the position that

been somewhat neglected by physicians
and recommended strongly It's use in the
form OF injections, douches and other forms
Of local Application.
THE Resemblance of Human Life to

without performing the always dangerous
operation of opening the abdomen.
A discussion of considerable length fol-
lowed. after which DR.. j. Fearn read a
paper on Medical Legislation. State and
National" which treated the subject in an
able and exhaustive manner.
The concluding pauer of the afternoon
session was "Oligarchy of Medical Fossils.
Malaria and Its Multiple Phases," by DR..
NJ. b. Mallory. This paper was one of
the best presented during the day, and fit
tingly concluded very interesting pro-

A Webfoot Says He Is IIl-Treated
i'm this City.

Jerry Davis of Salem, Oregon, came to
this city on Tuesday night and secured
room at the Reno House. 631 Sacramento
street. He left the house last night under
rather peculiar circumstances.
During the day he became very sick,
and the servant asked him to get up. but
he repeatedly refused TO do so. saying that
he was too i'll.
AS he had paid for but one nights 1Odg-
ing the clerk became worried and asked a
man who knew Davis what he should do
In the matter.
He was told not TO be afraid. because
Davis had enough money to pay for his
room rent. Soon after Davis left or was
put out OF the hotel.
Gus BornemaD, an inmate of the hotel.
was present at the time. He says that
Davis was led through the hall by the
clerk and one of the proprietors, and that
they showed him upon tie street like dog.
He told them to send for the patrol
wagon, but they refused, SO he called up
the wagon himself.
Davis was on the street for nearly an
hour. He was found lying on the side
walk with but 90 cents in his pocket.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital.
The proprietor of the Reno House says
that Davis came to him on Thursday after
noon. became sick, and was given 81 to go.
He says that Davis was kindly treated by
him.

DIED IN SILENCE.
Telegraph Operator Shot
at DavfSViIIe.
THE PENALTY OF A CRIME.
Charles Dodge Avenges His Sisters
Wrong in a Terrible
Manner.

DAVIsvILLE, Cal, Nov. o. II. NJ.
Eaton, night operator al this place, was
killed al 10 o'clock last evening. The dis
covery of his hat upon the depot platform
would indicate that he was shot by con-
cealed foe while passing from the waiting
room to his office.
After receiving his death wound he stag
gered across the street to the Lillard
House. but failed to make himself heard,
and at 20 o'clock was found near the
saloon door in dying condition.
He never spoke, and there is no clew
to the murderer.
AT O'Clock this morning Charles Dodge,
a resident of Davisville, walked into the
Sherif1'S Office here and gave himself up,
saying he had got into trouble and wanted
to surrender himself. He did not admit
the shooting, but said it was painful
matter. about which he did not wish to
talk. and in which his sister was impli-
Gated. He also said that he had been
brooding over the matter for several
weeks.
His sister was student in the telegraph
Office in which Eaton is operator.
From Olsen. the partner of Dodge, the
following account of the tragedy is had ::
ing Dndge requested Olsen to go with him
to the depot, as he wished to see Eaton in
regard to the seduction of his sister
Dodge made no threats and showed no
great agitation. and together the two
went to Eaton's Office. This was at 10
O'Clock P. NJ. or few moments later.
Dodge knocked on the door, which was
opened by Eaton, but on discovering who
10 icIf
Dodge, forcing him to the floor.
The struggle lasted a few moments.
Dodge finally getting his opponent under.
The two then separated, and as Eaton
rose to bis feet Dodge fred.
Both Dodge and Olsen then left, while
Eaton staggered across the street for as
sistance and died at the door of the Lii
lard House.
Mrs. Lillard.s from her chamber over
head, heard the rafting of the office or
saloon door, and afterward the fall. but as
the sounds were not unusual she paid no
attention to them. 1t was not until some
minutes later that Eaton was discovered,
but he was then about dead and never
spoke.
1t as claimed that Dodge's sister, a young
woman OF p years. who recently cam
from the East, had been seduced by Eaton,
and that her brother sought this method
Of revenge on her betrayer.
Miss Dodge is now lying at the point of
death at the home of friend in DavisviIle.
The news Of the tragedy has been kept
profound secret from her. Dodge is con-
fined in the Jail here. and Olsen is under
arrest at Davisville.
AT present public sympathy is strongly in
favor of Dodge. whose sister is bright,
, intelligent young lady. and is general
favorite with all who know her.
Dodge. IN his confession, differs but lit
tie from the foregoing statement made by
Olsen.

HAD FORMED OPINIONS
Hard Work of Getting a Jury
for Evans.
Attorneys for the Bandit Object to
Sheriff Scott and His
Deputies.

FRESNO. Nov. 22.-The six remaining
jurors of the regular venire to try Evans
were examined to-day without resulting
in an addition to the jurors obtained Tues
day. When court opened this morning T.
s. O'Donnell of Modesto was entered as
associate counsel for the defense. All
Jurors examined to-day have fixed opin-
ion and were excused.
The regular venire being exhausted the
next step was to have special summoned.
On this there was a skirmish between at
torneys for the prosecution and defense.
The latter objected to the subpenaing of a
special venire by any member of the Sher-
ifs Office on the ground that Sheriff Scott
and all of his deputies had opinions un-
favorable to Evans. To prove it Sheriff
Scott was placed on the stand and said he
believed Evans was guilty of murder, but
could and would be as fair and impartial
in summoning a special venire as il he had
never heard of Chris Evans or Young's
cabin.
The defense still insisted that neither
the Sheriff nor any Of his deputies should
do the work. 1t seems that the law pro-
vides that In a case where the Sheriff is
disqualified for doing this work the County
Coroner comes in next. But when Coroner
Stevens was placed on the stand to state
his opinions and prejudicps. he said he
thought the same about the case as Sheriff
Scott; and Mr.. Stevens was accordingly
excused. T. G. White, John D. Morgan,
City Marshal. and G. W. Smith of Tenn
perance Colony were examined as to their
qualifications and prejudice. White final
~ chose an elIsor TO select and subpoena
special venire of seventy-five, to report
next Monday morning at 10 O'clock. 1t
appears that the defense got a wrong man
in White, for they Immediately asked for
the appointment of some one else. Upon
the court refusing the defense expressed
willingness to have Sheriff Scott summon
a special venire. but the court was firm,
and the defendants attorneys seemed dis
appointed with the outcome of their oppo-
sitioG to the Sheriff.
