A PLAUSIBLE STORY.
Why Michele Mareska EIoped With
His Married Sister,

There was genuine surprise in store
for Stefano Correale in Police Court yes
terday morning. The preliminary exami-
nation into the charge against Michele
Mareeka OF living with his sister, Cor
reala's wife, as man and wife, was heard
Correale had testified to certain facts
which appeared in Yesterdays CALL.
when the attorney for the defendant said
he would admit that Mareska and his sis
ter occupied the same room in the Coum DO
House, that they were regis tered as man
and wife and that he introduced her AL
ways as his wife. but they most strenously
denied that they had been guilty Of any
improper conduct.
This man. Correale." said the attor-
ney. while in New York treated his wife
cruelty and barbarously and her brother
left New I Ork with her TO save her from
her husbands inhuman conduct. As Mrs.
Correale is IN a delicate condition her
brother has adopted the role Of husband
with the sole object OF saving her from be-
ing ostraciZed by her country-women in
this city when she became a mother"
Judge Low dismissed the case on the
ground that no evidence had been ad-
Quced OF improper conduct between the
defendant and Mrs. Correale, his sister.
MaresBa Immediately left the courtroom
accompanied by several of his friends.
while Correale. after looking around in a
bewlldered manner for a minute or two.

the public school on Clay street.
There are now about seventy Chinese
children in this school, but they don't
progress very rapidly in their studies.
They study and try hard enough 70 learn,
but their teachings at home often affect
the instructions received al school. But
they soon learn to speak English and at
ths same time their own language is not
forgotten.

vantage over those born in the ORIENT In
addition to the limited Chinese education
they receive the benefit of Christian influ-
ences and instruction n tie public schools.
1t is very rarely that Chinese educated
here grows up to BE criminal. Being
mostly the Children of merchants and the
better class of Chinese they are reared
carefully and taught to follow mercantile
c-Sprofessional pursuits. Their training
here. in which they acquire fair knOwl-
edge of the English language, better quail
fes them for business in this country than
in China. The girls are too carefully
guarded to become immoral. The occu-
pants Of dens in the alleys are mostly
'chattels,' imported as slaves. While it is
a great benefit to the Chinese to be born
and raised here | cannot say that it is a
benefit to this country. That is question
that even the missionaries have been un-
able to solve"

pretty thoroughly instilled into their ma
lures before they reach this country"

father removed to the Capital City. Frank
refused to 90 there. "San Francisco is good
enough for me-" he said, and so he
stayed right here. He procured situa-
tion in the Office of an attorney who does
considerable business for the Chinese. and
remained there three years. Frank. who
is quite character in his way. then con-
ceived the idea of opening telerhone of-
fee in the heart of Chinatown. This was
not financial success. and alter few
months he closed the office. He is now

gage MS services as an interpreter In

RUINED A FRIEND.
Thomas Bells Relations
With Coulter.
The Dead Capitalist Accused of Sell
ing His Friends Securities and
Accomplishing His Ruin.

An answer to the fourth amended sup
Elemental complaint in the case of Thomas
Bell vs.. George d. Graybll ct al. was fled
yesterday. Since the beginning of the suit
both Bell and Graybill have died.
The original title Of the suit was Thomas
Bell VS. George T. Coulter. 1t was begun
in the spring of 1890 and involved $40, 600,
which amount Bell claimed Coulter owed
him on a promissory note. The three
minor children of Coulter now deny the
allegations of the original complaint. and
by way of cross complaint set up claim
Of S132. 126 Is against the estate of Bell as
belonging to the elder Coulter.
Bell and Coulter had many financial
transactions together and were Jointly
interested in many enterprises. Coulter
borrowed money from Bell. and in Novem-
ber, 1881. he gave Bell a promissory note
for $4,000. secured by Virginia and Gold
Hill Water Company stock. The answer,
filed yesterday, claims that this note was
paid. 1t is also claimed that Bell in Sep
tenn Der, 1888. held $4,000 worth of secur-
tiles belonging to Coulter which he quietly
disposed OF for large amounts, giving
Coulter credit only on debts.
1t is admitted that various sums of
money were lent to Coulter by Bell. but it
Is denied that any money was lent after
December, 1887. Then. it is claimed, Bell
had 100000 belonging to Coulter. In ad-
dition it is stated that Bell had $4,000
worth of shares belonging to Coulter,
which, if properly handled, would have
produced $500. 600 within six months. 1t
is further alleged that In spite of these
large sums in Bells possession he cOntInu-
ally represented to Coulter that his ae-
account was overdrawn.
The cro.s-complant says that acting
under Bells advice Coulter in 1882 sued
Harriet F. Thornbnrgh to forecIose 1000
shares of the Virginia Water Companv's
stock which had been pledged with Bell
bv Coulter as security for loan OF
$4,000. 1t is charged that in order to
have Coulter renew it, Bell threatened TO
use his influence with certain London cap
italsts with whom Coulter was then con-
Quoting certain mining negotiations and
make them withdraw their support. On
the other hand Bell promised Conlter
that If he would renew the note he (BelD
would force Mrs. Thorn burgh to settle her
case.
The principal object of the cross-com-
plant is to compel an examination of
Bells books to show that he con verted the
securities to his own use, and to prove
that the money Bell made by handling the
funds acquired by the sale of these secnri-
ties belonged in reality to George Coul-
tors estate.

The suit Is brought by Leon Lemos

which the plaintiff relates as follows:
"The said defendant com planned of being

This plaintiff coniding in the honesty OF

fendant looked poor anc drty-somethin
that plaintiff did not like to see in this land

shirts
