contention that if any captains had been derc-

This is the day which has been set apart by
the Park Board for hearing on the question
of modifying the plans of the Harlem Speedway
II is difficult TO imagine what information the
Park Board expects to secure. and yet II Is to
be hoped that public-sprited organizations Ike
the Municipal Art Society and the City Club
will be represented. and that individual citizens
NAV take the time To- go before the board ana
show by their presence that they are ready
TO assert their rights. There Is no necessity OF
preparing any argument in the case, for IL Is
n question with only one side. There Is not a
shadow OF a reason to justify the Commission
ers In locating pleasure ground for two miles
along the Harlem River and then forbiddinS
the people to come within $50 feet Of its shore.
No one has pretended to give any satisfactory
reason for constructing a road with only one
sidewalk. There should be no surrender In this
matter and no compromise. The people have n
right TO the waterfront, and they should insist
upon 1t that the Park Board makes adequate
provision for the exercise Of this right.

JILTED TO SUICIDE.
An Austrian Cuts His Throat and
Dies.

FRESNO. Aug. 2S.-Lake Zenovich, a
laborer of 10. committed suicide near
Eisen's vineyard last night by cutting his
throat. The cause is supposed to have
been insanity from being Tilted by young
lady in San Francisco several years ago.
Mr.. Zenovich was at one time member
of the Savonian Ilyriic Mutual and
Benevolent Society in San Francisco. In
1885 or 1856 this organization was to have
a celebration of some kind, and in the
lOdgerOom they had run up an Austrian
flag. ZenOvich was member of the So
eiety. but thought the American flag
should float in America, so he rushed to
the foreign flag and ripped it to pieces
with his pocket-knife, and then instantly
drew revolver with which to defend him
self from the fury of his enraged country
men, who rushed at him. He made them
stand back by threatening to shoot the
first one that touched him. They had him
arrested and raised several thousand dol
lars with which to prosecute him. but his
friends raised a like amount, and at the
trial he was acquitted.

WAS BOUND TO DIE.
John POpkin's Desperate Way TO
Death.
He Lost oney in the Pacific Bank,
Cut ffis Throat and Hanged
Himself.

FRESNO. Aug. 2S.-John Popkin, aged
30, foreman OF Welter's vineyard. commit
ted suicide by hanging and bleeding. That
PoDkin was bent on killing himself was
apparent from the looks of his body. He
cut both wrists with sharp pointed
pocket-knife. cut both sides of his throat
and then hanged himself.
The cause of suicide is believed to have
been the loss of $1,000. which be had in the
collapsed Pacific Bank of San Francisco.
There was $50 found under his clothing
and attached to bis neck by string.
Last evening at bedtime Popkin pulled
off his shoes, and instead of going to bed
walked down the road 10 his bare feet
about two miles>toward Fresno and then
went back home. His tracks In the dust
were very close together, showing that ne
was walking leisurely. At times he would
play in the dust with his feet or walk
sidewise with his tracks very close to-
gether. He seemed to have been in no
hurry whatever. When he returned to
the house he stopped outside, and that is
where he cut his throat, fer large pools of
blood were found there. He then went to
the barn and hunted for rope and hanged
himself in the buggy shed. His feet
touched the ground and his knife was
found lying near by. He was a member
of Hermann's Sons and has a sister in
LiyermOre

THE STATE INVESTMENT.
Proceedings Taken During the Pend
ency of an Appeal.

The cases of Williamson. Drexel and
the London and Liverpool Insurance Com
pany VS.. the State Investment and Insur-
ance Company were on yesterdays calen-
dar for trial in Judge Hebbard's court. but,
in view of proceedings recently taken
against the defendant company, were
struck off the calendar to be restored on
notice.
Attorneys Harrison, Ames and Eickhoff
were in court representing their respective
interests, ana when the matter came up
Harrison rose to address the court on the
subject of the appeal which has been taken
TO the Supreme Court from Judge Heb
bard's decision appointing Van Reynegom
receiver OF the company under the action
brought by the people of the State of Cali
fornla. Harrison said that Judge Heb
bard's decision, in which the motion for
new trial IN the insolvency proceedings
was not dismissed, but simply vacated-an
order being made staying all proceedings
therein Tor the present-was not satisfac-
tory to the creditors, as they would prefer
a judgment denying the motion or a per-
petual stay, in which case THAR course
would appear clearer to them.
Judge Hebbard. however, refused to
take this course, especially as an appeal
to the Supreme Court had already been
taken. He made an additional order re-
appointing Van Reynegom receiver during

THE CAPTAINS, HE SAID.
Contraband Cigars Seized on the
Ship John C. Potter.

The American ship John G. Potter has
been down to La FaZ, Mexico, since she
cleared from this port for Nanaimo in June
last, and thence she went north, and re-
turning from Nanaimo is now lying at the
Mission wharf 2.
On Sunday some customs officers, among
them INSPECTOR MeGinnis, made a search
of her. They found concealed beneath the
coal and under the earpenter-shop thirty.
eight boxes of cigars. That is only 19OO
but Mr.. McGinns seized them. and Mr.
John q. Nelson, the owner of the vessel,
was present.
Mr.. Nelson began to investigate. Are
they your cigaTs?' he asked of the car
penter.
mo, SIR" came the prompt reply.
Whose are they, do you know pr
"Yes, sir; they are the captains
This was rather surprising information
to the owner. and waxing indignant he
threatened TO discharge the captain, who
did not happen to be aboard the vessel at
the time, however. The captains name
is Fl. Meyer.
The customs authorities will keep the
cigars, but no arrests will be made, as the
cigars were found on the vessel and had
not yet heen smuggled ashore. The only
thing which can be done Is to confsca lie
them as illegal packages.

EXCHANGED BLOWS.
A Battle Between Ex-JaiIbirds at the
Sand Lot.

Paddy FRAZIER. the ex-pugilist, was re-
leased from jail yesterday morning. He
was incarcerated about two months ago
for assault to murder n man in a Kearny-
street dive, and his case was called for
trial yesterday morning. No one appeared
to give evidence against him. and the case
was dismissed.
Paddy, after leaving the courtroom,
went to the Postoffice site on Mission
street. where several hundred unemployed
met.
The ex-pugilist met there an old ac-
Quaintance named John Keogh, who has
also been secluded in buildings provided
by the city.
Mr.. FRAZIER and Mr.. Keogh listened to
the speeches of the unemployed men. and
fell into discussion of the labor problem.
AS they knew very little about labor. 1t is
1ot surprising that their views differed
and that they speedily fell TO blows.
FRAZIER, who says that Keogh attacked
him, knocked the latter into the gutter,
and they were pounding each other to the
intense enjoyment of the crowd when Po-
liceman 'TobiG of the Southern station fell
upon them and took them into custody
They were charged with battery.

LAID HIM TO REST.
And Then the Royalties Still Alive
Went Off to a Banquet.

PoTsDAAI. Aug. 2S.-The remains of the
late Duke Ernst of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha were laid to rest in the vault of the

were the Duke of Edinburgh. the new
Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Emperor
William, the King of Saxony. the Prince
of Wales. the Duke of Connaught, Prince
William of Baden, Prince Philip of Coburg

THE FIREMEN'S CHILDREN.
Judge Coffey Appoints Guardians for
Them All.

Judge Coffey resumed his seat on the
Probate Court bench yesterday after an
absence OF over a month.
The question OF the appointment of
guardians for the children OF the fremen
killed by a falling chimney in the recent
Page-street fire came up before him. 1t
will be remembered that about two weeks
ago Judge Slack. sitting in Judge Coffey's
place, appointed Mrs. Jennie de Succa,
aunt of the Windrow orphans, guardian of
their property. Yesterday Mrs. Davis,
mother of the children OF Fireman Davis,
was appointed guardian, while for the
children of Madison Judge Coffey ap-
pointed M. j. kearns, their grandfather,
guardian.
A sum Of money, amounting to $1,000, re-
Gently subscribed on the orphans behalf,
was handed in yesterday, with instructions
TO have it distributed as follows: $3.50 to
the Davis children. $3.50 to those of Madi-
son and $40 to the Windrow orphans.
Attorney Bert, representing the Win
drows, objected 10 this, saying that the
only fair way would be To distribute the
money equally between them ali.
Judge Coffey said he would take time to
decide this question, and the matter was
con tinued.
