HE WOULDN'T SHAKE DICE.
Reason Why One Man Is in Prison
and Another Wounded.

Charles Watkins. a stevedoIe, was lodged
at the North Harbor police station yester-

HanlOn saw the steVedOre's condition and

THE HISTORY COMPANY.
MorrisOn's Suit for and Against 1t

son against n. j. Stone, j. L. Hebert. the
estate Of a. S. Latham and the History
Company, which was begun yesterday
afternoon before Judge Levy. promises to
be an interesting one.
Morrison was q stakeholder in the His
tory Company and sues as such. He alleges
that while Hebert and Latham were stock
holders and employees If the company they
entered into conspiracy with Stone to
gobble up the business of the company.

out of business and would be succeeded by
the Pacific Publishing Company. The
result was, according 10 Morrison, that the
entire business of the publishing company
was lost and immense profits made by the
Pacific Publishing Company. tie therefore
sues for $4,000 as damages and also for an
accounting.
He claims in his complaint that between
January, 1888. and March, 1892, the History
Company made S3s0,OO0 and almost nothing
since the last mentioned date, and this as
result of the fraudulent Misrepresentation
of the defendants.
The History Company refused to bring
suit against the defendants for some reason,
so Morrison was forced 10 bring 1t hlms ell
making the company one of the defendants.
The entire afternoon was taken up in the
reading of dispositions, and to-day the trial
will commence 10 earnest.
II Is expected that the reasons of the
History Company for its refusal TO sue with

APPROVE THE BILL.
Builders Favor the New
Lien Law.
A Movement Proposed to AmaIgamate
All the Building Associations
of the City.

The members Of the Builders Exchange
are strongly in favor of the amendment to
the lien law recently adopted by the Legis-
lature, as far as it referred 10 the con-
tractors.
The amendment makes it necessary for
all contractors TO furnish bonds TO the ex-
tent of % per cent of the value of the con-
tract. They look upon this measure as a
great protection to the honest contractors,
and say that it will place dishonest men in
position where they will be unable to Sc
cure any work unless they fully intend 10
meet all their obligations.
AT the annual meeting of the exchange
last night at 314 Montgomery street they
passed resolution urging the Governor of
the State To Sign the measure, and to add
weight to the resolution they appointed NJ
y. Donovan 10 represent their association.
He is to act in conjunction with representa-
tives of the other building organizations to
wait upon the Governor in support of the
bill.
The directors for the ensuing year were
then elected as follows: c. c. Terriu, {. c.
MoTehonse, William CrOnan. j. F. Riley,
NJ. j. Donovan, j. p. NJ. Phillips. J, K
Firth, 0. Lewis, W. n. Miller, j. w. Lucas
and William Young.

with, adjournment was made to a we'll
known restaurant where an excellent sup
per was enjoyed.
In the short addresses which followed. the
amalgamatton of the different building
societies was the general topic. w. \.
Miller, D. \. Young and Oscar Lewis were
the chief opponents Of the plan. They
said. that as matters stood, the different
associations were not working to the best
advantage although the best of harmony
prevailed.
BY the organizations coming together
under one head. they would have prestige
and could accomplish more for the general
good OF all the building trades. With a
membership which would follow by carry
ing out such plan a building devoted to
their special purposes could lie erected A

DAISY DEANS DREAM.
fier Two Erring Sisters Reformed Her
After Their Death.


Some time ago, In this city. young woman,
who turned out to be Miss Dean. commit
ted suicide by taking morphine. The family
of Miss Dean resided in Missouri, and were
quite respectable, but the daughters turned
out TO be erriug. Soon after Miss Deans
death In this city it was learned that a sister
of her in Sedalia. Mo, had also taken her
own life There was q remarkable cOinci-
dence about the two suicides, for on eXaui-
lining both cases it was found that the two
young women, driven to desperation by the
life they had been leading, took not only
the same kind of poison but made away
with themselves on the same night OF the
same day. 1t was also discovered that the
two sisters had not communicated with each
other for some time, and neither had any
possible means OF knowing what the other
intended TO do. On this account the case
excited consider BILE attention at the time,
and the remar BILE character of the eOinci-
dence was published all over the country.
There was a third sister, who remained
behind, young and handsome. Her name
is Daisy Dean. She, too, entered upon a
gilded career. But it seems the tragic
death of her two sisters has changed her
greatly.
To friends she stated that she was visited
by her sisters in dreams, who pleaded with
her TO abandon her evil ways. That COM
plete reformation has taken place in her
character will be seen from the following
extract from the Gazette of Sedalia, Mo,
the home of the Deans:
Daisy Dean, whose sad history was given in
these columns a short lime ago, is to become an
evangelist.
Soon after the tragic death of her TWO sisters
by their own hands Daisy expressed a desire to
forsake the life she was leading. This fact was
communicate ed 10 friend of the family, VINO
made an investigation and, satisfying himself Of
the young gir'S sincerity. decided to help her.
Ii was accordingly arranged that she should
enter an Eastern seminary. and she left for the
Institution selected last Monday night.
When she graduates, she says, she intends to
devote the remainder OF her life TO the work Of
retaining fallen women.
