THE WOMAN AHEAD.
Terrible Conclusion of the Perkins
Family Row.

A woman and two children go to
Kansas, husband is crippled and goes
to the poorhouse, grandfather goes to
Jail, and the preacher who caused the
trouble has disappeared.
A tragic scene was enacted on Trade
street in Yew Park Sunday afternoon,
which was the closing act of q domestic
tragedy unparalleled in the history OF
this city. 1t was the final chapter of
the Perkins family trouble. Mrs. NJ.
d. G. Perkins has been referred to in
the Salem papers as young married
woman too intimate with one ex-Rev,
Campbell. County Judge Hubbard
had secured her ticket for Chapman,
Kan, where she was going on the lao
train with her two little boys. She
was all ready to go when about one
o'clock old man Perkins, who has lived
with his son, made dash to kidnap
the youngest boy.
The woman was too quick for him
and they struggled fierceIy in the street
for possession Of the child.
Perkins, the father of the boy, came
out on the porch on his two crutches
and encouraged the white haired old
man. The woman fought like tiger
for her baby boy. 1t seems the old
gentleman had also formed great af-
fection for the little fellow.
"Pull him in two before you let her
have him." yelled the rheumatic on
the doorstep. 1t was his last yell for
while. His crutches few out from
under him and he fell headlong down
the steps off the front porch. When he
was picked up his right leg was broken
at the thigh, his right arm above the
elbow, and the bone protruded. Mrs.
Perkins had got away to the train with
her two little boys, leaving the grand
father in the clutches of Policeman
Latourette, who marched him to Jail,
and her husband in the hands of DIR.
Byrd, who arrived and set his withered
limbs. Shortly after he was removed
to the county poor farm. This was a
tragic conclusion of family row that
has Kept the Perkins neighborhood in
Yew Park hot for the past week. The
preacher, Campbell, who has been the
cause of all the trouble, is hiding in
Southern Oregon in the brush some
where. He was trying to get Mrs. Per-
kins to fly with him. He has been ex-
pecting her to go to Kansas via South
ern Oregon. But the county court
"got onto" his combination and sent
Mrs. Perkins north via Portland.

SIX THOUSAND AFFECTED.
No Change in Passenger Rates East.
New Box Fruit Rate Is Having
Good Effect.

The era of retrenchment, inaugurated
several weeks ago by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company. and which resulted in
the discharge of about 1000 men In differ
ent branches of work, eliminated in an
order issued yesterday which is OF vast
Importance. sweeping in its application.
and directly affecting 5000 men In the vari-
Gus shops.
By its provisions the men will hereafter
only work four days week (Monday.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and
eight hours day.
It has been the practice hitherto to work
the men full time during the summer
months. and reduce the day hours OF labor
in the winter.
General Superintendent Fillmore said
yesterday In explanation Of the order that
it was determined to reduce the working
hours rather than discharge the men. The
necessary curtailment in expenses becOm-
ing evident. the situation demanded the
adoption of one of these two courses OF
action. A dismissal Of say 300 men would
necessarily involve great hardShips and
undoubted suffering upon many OF the
employees, and it was to avoid this that the
present method of meeting the emergency
was adopted.
The order affects all employees of the
shops located at Ogden. Terrace. Wads-
worth. Truchee, Sacramento, Dunsmuir,
Portland, Oakland, San Francisco. Bakers
field, Los Angeles and Tucson. about 5000
men in all, and comprises blacksmiths.

men stationary. machinists. painters. car
peuters and others with their various
helpers.
Auditor Foster stated to CALL man
that the monthly pay of all these shop
men would aggregate abOnt S500.0 600.
and some figures relative to the pay that
these men have heretofore rec ived and
what they Will henceforth get may prove
interesting. The figures given are not
official, but were obtained from a we'll
Informed source. In one or two instances
they may vary somewhat from the
amounts actually paid, but approximate
the actual state of affairs.

POWER IN WATER.
How Mrs. Scott Obtains

Supervisor James Denman Listens to
a WOman'S Weird Tale OF

A middie-aged woman, leading little
child by the hand. walked into the cham
bers of the Board of Supervisors yester-
day. In her other hand she carried a
large bundle, to which she tenaciouSly
cung.
Are any of the Supervisors around?"
she asked.
Clerk Russell pointed toward Supervisor
Day, who was examining some bills.
II have new design for the electric
battery. 1t has been three years coming

This way. madam" said Supervisor
Day, who saw he had in hand genius
whose characteristic, he knew. Is always
allied to madness. Day led the woman
toward Supervisor Denman, who was
talking with Mayor Ebert about the
Fourth-street bridge.
This is the very man you want 10 see. "
said Day.
supervisor Denman, here is a woman
who has an invention in which you will be
greatly interested"
Supervisor Denman turned ready ear
and was soon in for it, while Day and
Mayor Ellert slipped laughingly away.
Eyes; Im going to revolutionize the
storage svstem." began the woman whose
name is Mrs. jennie Scott, ana who re-
sides on Beale street. "My battery ex-
tracts electricity from water. Why. out OF
two small GUS can make power enough
TO make the heaviest cars go. God is the
power. My electricity is different from all
others"
But, madam, what do you want me to
do?" asked Supervisor Denman, loOkln g
around for his hat and cane.
" hGln M N in
tion," said Mrs. Scott See. here are the
plans"
Mrs. Scott unrolled her bundle and dis
played collection of papers on which
were a number of lines which resembled
the scrawls of spirit at some spirit medi-
um'S seances.
Supervisor Denman thought they looked
like some Of Astronomer Hoden's draw
ings OF the course of the new comet, but
did not say SO.
Mrs. Scott saw tracks, cars batteries and
a whole railway system on the paper, and
ratified of Il rigmarole Incompetent sible
as the jargon OF metaphysician describ-
ing the origin of an idea. Then she asked
for the Supervisors to put her spirit rail
way on the market, and ali the while the
little child looked on and smiled in inno-
cence of the alterations OF its mother.
Supervisor Denman looked around 10
desperation, and the light of hope beamed
in his eye as he saw Clerk Russell
"Mr. RUSSELL" he said. tell this lady
what course she will have to pursue be fore

out into the corridor to breathe. This was
at II 80 o'clock. At IL o'clock those pass

PACIFIC BANK AFFAIRS.
The Directors Meet and Suggest an
Assessment

The Directors Meet and Suggest an
Assessment.
The affairs of the Pacific Bank were the
subject of discussion at three meetings
Yesterday. In the first place the directors
of the bank met at II O'Clock in the FORE
noon in executive session, and it is said
that the meeting was an interesting one.
Later in the day the stockholders came
together in the bankrooms on the corner of
Pine and Sansome streets. and for more
than two hours they talked over the con-
dition of the banks finances. From the
temper displayed by those who took part
there must have been lively scene.
After this meeting one of those who
were present said: II can tell you posi-
lively that no definite conclusion was
reached A suggestion was made that the
stockholders be assessed for the purpose
of meeting the more urgent claims at once,
and with the ultimate idea of resumug
business. 1t was generally admitted that
before the doors could be reopaned a clear
balance Of 100000 should be on hand. and
then with a new management confidence
could he so far restored as to invite again
the patronage of the public. To do this,
of course, it would be absolutely necessary
to make an entire charge OF officers for
the reason that depositors would have no
bslief in the stability OF the institution.
By a change all around, however. we
might hope to resume business and bring
back the old prosperity. AS the matter
now stands no definite conclusion was
reach ed and the matter went over till to-
morrow afternoon at 3 O'Clock. when
another meeting will Do held. There is a
bare possibility OF reSumpton.
