About O'Clock last night lady stood

pope" GoodinG Has Been Look
ing Up the Case for the Mine
Owners Heirs-Her Name Is
Harriet Schenck, and She Says
She Was Married in New York
in 1850.
Pope Cooling has just concluded
the work of looking up the antecedentS
and record of woman who, at present,
is creating something of furor in San
francisco. Some time ago the court at
San Francisco was asked to order the
executors of the will of The late p. n.
Mackay, the weii-known California
mine owner, to pay $3.50 a month cut Of
the estate to Harriet Schenck. colored
woman. pending the distribution of the
same, on the grounds that she was the
deceased's widow. She asked for n
family allowance and naturally the
heirs were mad all through. especially
when the woman claimed her demi-
brunette daughter was Mackay's legiti-
mate offspring. The Schenck woman
alleged in her petition that she was
married 10 Mackay by a verbal civil
contract, in New York, in the fall OF
1880; that he lived with her up to the
time of his death; that he passed away
in her arms and that the child Ruth
Mackay was born in July of last year.
Aside from the scandal involved i'll
the wOman's claims, the heirs objected
to paying out so much money every
month. The npphewS. ID. Z. aud hobert
Il. Mackay, threw themselves into the
breach and began preparing themselves
TO combat the case. 1t appears that this
Harriet Schenck at one time lived in
this city, and the defendants in the case
placed the matter of looking up her
Minneapolis history in the hands of Mr..
GOOdln%, the well known detective. Last
week he forwarded the evidence he had
procured to San Francisco, and it is eX-
pected the case will come up for trial
very soon.
MIR. Gooding is very reticent about the
evidence he succeeded in getting,
though it Is understood he discovered
that Harriet Schenck, in years gone by.
lived at 312 Third avenue south, and
that she was supposed to be married.
The defense claims that the woman
Kept house for the deceased mine OWL
er, but that she was never married to
him: that the statement concerning his
death in her arms is made solely for the
purpose Of Slandering the memory of
the deceased, and that she asserts her
claim with view of hindering the set
tlement of the estate, which is valued
at $3.50. 600.

An aged, decrepit man was brought
into the central station yesterday by

worn. and there were ragged fringeS
about the edges of his coat The officer
had found him seated on bench in the
waiting room of the union depot. look
ing helpieSSly around and staring va
canty at the people who passed him.
He Informed the officer at the station
that his name was ID. Morgan, and that
he had coms from llaglr, Wis. lie
had son -in-law and daughter in this
city, and he was in hopes they would
provide for him.
The old mans voice trembled and his
little, weak eyes watered as he told his
story. His son-in-law is Minneapolis
butcher. His daughter is 4 teacher in
the public schools. Shortly after they
were married, according to the Old man,
he was discovered TO be in the way.
Being seventysive years old, lie could
not employ himself at hard labor. so he
was shipped to Hagar. In order TO keep
himself alive while there he was
Obliged to peddle books and trinkets.
When the hard times struck the coun-
try he found no one would buy his
wares, so he came back here, hoping his
daughter would in some way provide
for him. He was sent back again to
Hagar, however, and several days ago
lie determined to come back, happen

There was WiStful look i'll his eyes

thrill of pity run through their veins
His language was of the choicest Eng
lISli, and there was something about
him that told of a good education and
better days. When asked what Occupa-
ton he had followed in earlier days he
replied that for fifty years he had taught
school in various portions of the country.
Having no money, the old school
master was fed at the expense of the
city. An officer was sent 10 the resi-
dence of his sOn-in-law, and late in the
afternoon the latter called at the station.
He stated that the unfortunate man
was an unweIcome guest. ana that it
woald be impossible tor his family to
take care of him. He had all he could
do to support his own family. let alone
his wlfe'S relatives. Tie officers looked
at him Indignantly, ana when he
was gone EXPRESSED their sentiments

Annual Meeting ofthe Northwest

erI LumJeTmen's Association.
The delegates have commenced to ar
rive TO the annual meeting of the North
western Lumbermen's association to be
held at the Lumber Exchange, COM
mehciug Wednesday.
One of the most important matters
that viii come up will be the plan for
forming an independent fire insurance
company. The insurance committee of
the association has decided that it will
lie best 10 form an independent fire in
surance company for the purpose of in
surfing members Of the Northwestern
Lumbermen's association only. Mem
beers can retain their membership in the
association without going into the in
surance company however. The insur-
ance committee reports that it believes
that the scheme is an attractive one to a
large majority of the members Of the
association, and they request members
to come to the meeting prepared to
take action. The idea is said to be adj
YisabIe on account of the possible mag
n!tude of the insurance business, and
the company should be independent be-
cause OF the close cooperation of The
two lumber associations that can be Sc
cured.

There were number of interesting
sermons delivered from Minneapolis pull
pits last night. The Twenty-fourth Street
Methodist church gave its congregation
something in the line of an innovation.
Mark L. Dougherty, foY number OF
years a clerk in the Office of the clerk of
the district court, occupied the pulpit.
He made his debut as a temperance
evangelist, and spoke to a large con-
gregatiOn OH the evils of the drink habit
Iii 4 manner at once instructive and
entertaining.
Rev. James McAlliSter, of the Silver
Lake Congregational church, rendered
discourse on the gambling evil OF the
city, ANA tOlG his hearers OF the horrors
of the pool rooms. From the way in
which he handled his subject it was
evident that he had paid more than one
visit 10 the pool rooms, for his pictures
were tue to life, and represented the
scenes III the betting houses realistic
ally. The city council OF st. Paul, ne
said. had recognized the necessity of
roofing out the evil, and had passed an
ordinance forcing the pool rooms to
close. No sooner were The doors closed
than the prOprletors OF the places came
to Minneapolis and started up. They
were followed by the ritf-ratf of the
city, the thugs and the lower element.
IL WAS bad enough before, for Mime
apollS then had one pool room. but now
there were three OF them. 1t was time
tie city council took some action in the
matter and forced the places to close
their doors.
At the First Free Baptist church Rev.
Francis L. HAYES read a prelude to his
sermon. entitled The Roman Catholic
Demand for Division of the Public
School Fund" He handled the ques-
ton in a vigorous manner and pointed
out TO his audience tie bad results that
would follow such division. His dis
