A DESPERATE MADMAN.
He Tries to Kill Two Other Inmates
of His Cell

Owen Hannah, an ironmolder, was sent to the
Napa Asylum late yesterday afternoon, and the
attaches OF the Receiving Hospital Witnessed
his departure with feelings OF the liyeliest sat
isfaction. He was taken 10 the hospital on
Thursday last and placed in a padded cell. He
was always fighting mad, and the stewards had

At an early hour yesterday morning DR..

There were an insane man named j. &. Murray

WITH SAD RITES.
Elaborate Obsequies of
Mrs. JeOng Wan.
For Years No Chinese Funeral Has
Been on so Magnificent a
Scale as Was Hers.

A funeral, which was perhaps more
elaborate than any Chinatown has seen
for a long time. took place yesterday after
noon from 500 Washington street. 1t was
that of a woman who ranked high in the
Chinese 400
She was the wife and the apple of the
eye of Jeong Wan. Interpreter at the
Washington-street theater. and one Of the
conductors of that place of amusement,
and also of the Jackson-street theater.
Jeong Wan has both money and popular
ity, and his bereavement caused general
sorrow among his countrymen, who al
tended the obsequies of the lamented wife
in vast numbers.
The services In front of the house were
accompanied by funeral pomp, lncanta-
lions and an Grafton by the Rev. Lem WO
Tick. Judging by the effect OF this we'll
known priests discourse 1t must have been
mastery sermon. English-speaking
people being unable to follow the ora or
were more interested in the spectacle
which presented itself to their gaze.
A platform, about two feet above the
pavement, with canopy above about ten
feet high, had been erected and most pro-
fusely decorated. Red, yellow, green and
blue curtains fell from cornlces to the
floor. They were so wide apart that the
sacrlhclal offering, more varied, bOuntlful
and gorgeOuslY arranged than any similar
display which habitues of the Chinese
quarter could recall. could be seen by the
foremost OF the surrounding throng. There
were two roast pigs, two raw pigs, an
antelope, German carp laid across each
other and bespaDgled with gilt chickens
and other fowl-whOle and cut up-pyTa-
mlds of oranges, and in short provisions
enough Tor feast for the gods.
Near this untasted banquet rested the
magnificent casket in which reposed the
dead, and at the foot of the coffin knelt the
four-vear-old daughter of the house of
Jeong. She was clad in white and as she
knelt at the feet of her departed mother
she punctuated her lamentations with re-
pea,ed kOw-tOws. All about the corpse
were trunks. pieces of miniature furniture
and bits OF gold aud silver foil, re present
ing he furniture and effects and the gold
and silver which would be at the disposal
OF the deceased in the other world.
When the priest had completed his re-
marks, which were mainly directed to the
vanity of tn ngS mundane. a procession
was formed ana the coffin followed by the
mourners was borne through the streets TO
Sacramento street, where about thirty
carriages were waiting to convey the
funeral party to the cemetery.
The pigs and the antelope and the fowl
and all the rest of it were left to he
mercies of the poor people, who stood
hungrlly about during the ceremony and
after 1t was over made short shrift OF
1T all.
The morning call., 1894-03-06

full tickets and two halves at discounts
ranging from "a up TO q maximum of S28
on $50 ticket.
Now, everybody knows that these
tickets are redeemable at the offices of tn e
company which issues them, and of course
the secretary Of the local passenger asso-
citation takes the tickets, bought at figure
below their face value. or. rather, the rate
AT which they are quoted, and secures
that amount from the railroad company.
The tickets are bought IRON the scalp
ers through the medium of the suffers
(es they are known in the vernacular of the
railroad mem, who represent themselves
as legitimate purchasers. but who are In
reality employed by the local association.
Now these forty tickets which / men,
ton. and which have been secured in the
manner stated by the association, represent
loss of several hundred dollars to some
body. The question now arises, Are the
brokers taking chances on these sales or
are they secured from loss by the COM
panies whose tickets they sell?
IAN illustration OF the inefficiency of the
local passenger association is here af-
foTded, so far as to that body's pro-
tectlng its members is concerned. We
who are mem Oers are bound by the agree
ment not to cut the rate nor pay commits
slons under severe penalties. while those
who are not in thu organization can slash
the rates to suit themselves.
ne OBJECT OF tneSe agents In doing
business through the scalpers is twofOld.
In he first place they conceal the fact that
they are cutting rates below the figures
quoted, and this concealment enables them
to do business at their own Offices at regu-
lar rates with passengers who have some
fears Of purchasing of a broker"
The Santa Fee Office was crowded with
people yesterday. II have sold more
tickets yesterday aud to-day than l ever
did before in a similar time during my ex-
perience with the road" said P. d. Nc
Carly. city passenger agent At the South
ern Pacific Offices a similar evidence of
interest was noticeable, while the Rio
Grande people report that they have sold
over 300 tickets since the cut WAS made.
Developments yesterday evening show
that the Santa Fe is still full of fight and
apparently determined to stand by its
position. A telegram was received by the
The morning call., 1894-03-06

representatives of the road here stating
that on Thursday next the rate from Los
Angeles and Mohave to Deming and FL
Paso will be reduced to $40. The present
rate is $50. This is on account of the
boycott placed on business over the Santa
Fee In that territory by the Southern Pa
cific, the latter line refusing to ticket pas
sengers TO the points mentioned from its
territory.
There is remote possibility that an
other element may inject itself into the
fight If matters are not soon settled be-
tween the Southern Pacific and Rio
Grande. Upon the window of the Cana
dian Pacific large llacard was posted
yesterday, which reads as follows: This
space reserved for our quotations, which
will appear later on"
One of the representatives OF this road
said: 1.-THE Canadian Pacific wants TO
keep out of the trouble II il can, but IL the
fight continues much longer tie seaboard
business, in which we are interested. will
become so demoraliZed that 1t will compel
us to take some action"
All eyes are still anxiouslv turned to-
ward Chicago, aud the decision of Chair
man Caldwell of the Western Passenger
Association is awaited with interest. The
Santa Fe is placed in an embarrassing po-
| siti0n. If CaldweYs decision IS against
its demand that the Southern Pacific be boy

A Wedding That Was to Have Taker

Pretty 16-year-old Hazel Wood, whose
real name is Mary Beigel, a song-and-

count of whose attempted elopement with
her lover. who week ago Tuesday las:
arrived from Portland, was published ex-

is speeding on her way to Spokane Falls
with the man she loves.
As fate has destined it, her companion
is not the man with whom she was willing

Foster, the 20-year-old son of ner en-
ployer. The two left Saturday night at
IL 80 o'clock on the northbound train, say
ing good-by to only those who aided in the
plan to get them safely out of the city.
Besides half-distracted mother living at

solable middle-aged man with his hair just
turning gray, who has apartments at the
Western Hotel. He is a bookkeeper for a
lumber firm in Portland and came all the

Counterfeiters.

Martin Oberhouse aud John Meyer and
an unlimited number of little Oberhouses
and Meyers were the happiest people in
this section of the country for an hour or
SO last Saturday afternoon.
A pot containing more money than any
of those concerned had ever dreamed of
possessing had been found in hole in the
ground and there was not a sign visible to
indicate that any one but the finders could
lay claim TO the treasure.
The pot was found in one of those hills
which skirt the east side of this county
way down near Ocean View.
The Oberhouse and Meyer families live
in that vicinity and on pleasant days the
children frequently romp over the hills.
They were doing that on Saturday when
the money was found and the discovery
was made in this way.

ANOTHER CUT BY THE SANTA FEE
The Canadian Pacific and Other
Northern Roads May Be Forced
Into the Fight.

While all the different railroad offices
appear to be doing largely increased
business since the low rates went into
effect the brokers seem to have cinch on
the bulk of the travel. but if all reports
are true it is difficult TO see how they are
making any money, unless they are Sc.
cured from loss by the railroads.
A leading representative of one of the
transcontinental lines in discussing the
situation yesterday had this to say:
There are at least two lines in this city
which are doing business through the
brokers. and the local passenger associa-
ton has prima facie evidence against
them. That body in the last thirty days

variety songsress 10 seek home away

Hazeps mother had made a match for
her daughter with the commercial mans
son, which was not viewed with favor by
the young girl. On Thursday next the
ceremony was to have been performed,
and to escape this the elOpement was
planned.
Young Foster has been cast off by his
father, who says that never again does he
want his son to darken his door.
On Friday last the father first learned OF
the attachment, and at once sent for his
manager and gave instructions that the
son be paid off and given sufficient money
to take him to his grandmother in San
Jose.
That same evening when Hazel appeared
at the theater he called her into his office
ana discharged her, at the same time telling
her the reason why. The following morn
ing she returned to the theater and gave
Instructions to one of her friends to ship
her trunk to Spokane Falls as soon as word
was received from her.
To this friend she said that she loved
Eddie better than Jack" the book
had discharged him on her account she was
going TO do as he had asked her-go to
Spokane and marry him.
She told of the marriage on Thursday,
arranged by her mother, adding that she
disliked the young man and would never
marry him. She also said that her mother
was unkind to her, took her earnings from
her and otherwise treated her cruelty.
