WILD All LONG.
Mysterious Death of a
Chinese Girl.
She Was Chided by Her Mother for
Misconduct, and 1t Is Sup
posed Committed Suicide.

All Long, the comely daughter of a Chi
nese seamslress, who has a little room al
729 Pacific street, lies dead at the Morgue,
and the police of the city and the detec-
tives employed by the Consul General are
trying to find out whether she committed
suicide or met with foul play.
The girl was but 16 years old and was
native of this State. Her father was a
laborer, who is now in the country, and
she was supported by her mother. who toiled
night and day in season and out to supply
the fnery which the glrl craved. All
Long was appareled in fine raiment and
wore heavy bracelets of gold, yet she was
wayward. While the old mother was
working at the machine until her legs grew
weary the girl was enjoying herself out
side. Every day at a certain hour she
stole away from the house and no one
knew where she went.
The girl continued on her misguided
way until Friday afternoon. She returned
from her Tamble about 4 o'clock, flushed
and agitated and complaining of pain in
her head. The old woman scolded her
aud she fell upon the floor, where she was
seized with cOnvulsions. After a time
she became unconscious and died two
hours after her arrival.
A cup containing dregs of opium was
found in All Longs dress, and it was sup
posed by her mother that she had poisoned
herself. The body was taken to Main
Fook On's underiaking-rooms on Pacific
street and was kept there until yesterd ay
morning, when the undertaken summoned
DR.. Kahn and asked him to give certiti-
cate of cause OF death. The physician re-
fused to do anything IF the kind, but
notified the Coroner. The body was then
taken to the Morgue, where the stoma ach
was removed for analysis.

AT SANTA CLARA.
Miss Marguerite Wallace
Laid to Rest.
By Her Own Desire the Funeral
Was Very Simple One-Sleeps
Near Her Brother.

The funeral of the late Miss Marguerite
Wallace, which took place yesterday
morning. was of the quietest description.
This was to a great extent in compliance
with the wishes of the deceased young
lady herself Miss Wallace had known
for some time that her life could not be a
long one, and she hal requested that she
might be laid to rest very unostentatiously
beside her brother in the family vault at
Santa Clara.
The funeral party left the city at S:15, in
the palace car "Francisco," which was at
tached to the San Jose train. In addition
to the Immediate family, consisting Of
Judge and Mrs. William T. Wallace. Cen
eral and Mrs. Sheehan, Mrs. Belle Don
ahue, Miss X. Wallace. and some mem bers
of Ex-Governor Burnett's family, there
were only present a few intimate friends
who had especially requested permission
to participate in the sad ceremony. These
were Mrs Peter DOnahue, Mrs. Martin,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyle, Mr.. aud Miss Bonner.

Upon reaching Santa Clara the palace
car was shunted off to a siding and the
party entered the carriages that were wait

families were associated in earlier days
with the town of San Jose. Ex-Governor
Burnetts wife, tha gran0mother OF Miss
Wallace, lies in the cemetery at Santa
Clara, and the deceased young lady had
numerous friends in and near San Jose,
many of whom were waiting in the church
at Santa Clara when the funeral cortege
arrived.
The white plush casket. almost con-
cealed with magnificent white and pink
floral tributes, was placed in the aisle.
Before leaving the city the bereaved rela-
tons had taken their last look at the fair
young face that had lost none of its
beauty in death, and the friends at Santa
Clara did not approach the casket.
The mass and service were performed
by Rev. Father Kenna, past president of
the Jesuit institution al Santa Clara. A
brief but touching sermon was also
preached by Father kenna.
At the conclusion of the services in the
church the funeral cortege proceeded to
the Wallace vault in the Santa Clara
Cemetery, where the caSket was placed.
close to the remains Of Miss Wallace'S $
brother, who Qied bout four years ago.
There were no pall-bearers, in accordance
with the deceased's wish. Many of the
very numerous and beautiful floral tributes
were placed outside the vault al the con-
cusiOn of the ceremonies.
WheE all was over the mourners and
their friends drove back 20 the depot, and
entering the palace-car francisco" ="
awaited the coming of the afternoon train,
which took them back to the city.

NO MEXICAN FAIR.
Cons General Coney Dissipates an
Erroneous impression.

Consul General of Mexico A. K. C0ney
wishes to correct an impression which he
says is prevalent, to the effect that there
is to be an official exposition in November
next in the City of Mexico.
The Consul explains that some months
ago lie was requested by several Commits
sioners- General at the Midwinter Fair to
broach the scheme of fair in Mexico to
his Government. He received dispatch
from his Government a few days ago,
thanking the gentlemen for the interest
they had manifested in the c0untry's VEL
fare, but declining the proposition. The
authorities thought it would be inadvis
able to hold another fair so close on The
heels of the Chicago enterprise, on which
they had spent so much money, especially
as now the exhibits then collected had
been scattered beyond recall.
But in the meantime Lieutenant-C Colonel
George Al. Green. a retired officer of the
Mexican army, had arrived from Mexico
with the Mexican band and had been
busying himself among the concession

Will be here in a few days. which may
nave been the immediate cause OF the
shooting. This letter is signed "A Friend"
ana was sent 10 an elder daughter OF Gray
living at Carlin. New.
The letter is said to be in Benefits
handwriting, and in it the statement is
made that in early days Gray and his
wife were in the habit of travelling abont
together, and reflections on them are
made. The letter also states that Grav
was known as "Nigger Ike" and that in
Marysvllle he was Il tinhOTn gambler.
Inc letter also intimated that Bennett
knew all about the Gray family. and if a
retractlon of the things said about him
phlet about the family and show them up.
This letter. it is supposed, is the direct
cause OF the shooting, although Gray's
friends insist that ne had ample cause 20
shoot Bennett long ago for running his
daughter after making her believe that he
was not married man.
The shooting created intense excitement
in Oakland. but because of the feeling be-
tween the parties il was not unexpected.
Bennett was still in Jail at midnight and
very likely to stay there for an indefinite
period, as he does not seem to have a
single friend to interest himself in his be-
half. He has received no visitor at all
except newspaper reporters. Only one
member OF his family has called to see
him-One of his daughters, aged about 10,
who called at the prison with girl friend
a O'Clock and asked permission to send
some supper to her father. Her request
was granted, and supper was sent from a
neighbOring restaurant.
When Prison keeper Swain took the
meal to Bennett the latter started in vol
ubly to engage the turnkey in conversa-
ton, but with poor success.

BITUMEN AND BUSINESS.
A Sign of Better Times That Should
Be of General Interest,

A Sign OF Better Times That Should
Be of General Interest.
The Merchants Association has proved
that our business streets can be kept clean
by being swept by hand. Even the dis
reputable cobble pavement OF Geary street
has been vastly improved, but the mer-
chants of that thorOughfare have gone
step further, and in addition to sweeping
the street a move is being made to start
su description 10 have a smooth bitumen-
Gus pavement laid from Kearny street to
Union square. One of the chief sup
porters of the movement is the California
Furniture Company, which occupies the
Starr King building, between Grant
avenue and Stockton streets.
1t would seem to crude observers that
so progressive an action as the one con-
templated would go far to disprove the
oft-asseried proposition that business is
in a state of dire depression and growing
steadily worse. AS additional proof to
the contrary this same California Fur
niture Company is about to make radi-
cal and extensive development of its
business by embracing in 1t complete
stock of carpets and foor-coverings,
which in themselves constitute an i'm
portant mercantile interest.
The above information is gathered from
the announcement that appears this morn
ing of their ninth Red Letter Day" sale
of furniture. TO most shrewd purchasers
of furniture, they say. the bare announce
ment of the opening of Red Letter
Day" sale is sufficient. 1t seems ID the
present in stance that their progressive
move in adding carpets to their stock must
necessarily add greatly to the magnitude
as we'll as to the public interest in the sale.
1t takes but little TO turn the tide of pub
lie favor or public feeling, and it may be
safely said that II such activity and busi-
ness enterprise as noticed in this particu-
lar instance could be made general that it
would be but very brief time before the
town would return to the condition of busi-
ness prosperity its resources and wealth
entitle it TO.

The Complaints Made by Assistant

His Explanation.

Complaints against citizens for rebellion
against the authority of the United
States have been exceedingly rare since
the close of the Civil War, and the two
"rebels" who are now in the County Jail
are probably the first of their kind to
break the bread OF confinement in that
dingy structure. The two men, A. G.
Greenlaw and H. Z. Badmer, bitterly de-
nounce the Federal officials who are re-
sponsible for their Incarceration. and de-
clare that instead of being prosecuted for
rebellion against the United States they
are being prosecuted for rebellion against

Attorney Knight stated, when ques-
toned about the matter. that he had
charged the men with rebellion and had
their bail set at $4,000, because he con-
sdered them desperate strikers and feared
that if they were set at liberty they would
return to the ranks and cause more
trouble. In his opinion the Presidents

charging Greenlaw and Badmer with re-
