he had gone away with a lady. Such cruel,

Another letter from her brother, Charles
Collins. tells the same story.
The body of Mrs. Willox was inferred
at Laurel Hill Cemetery yesterday. A
number of beautiful floral emblems were
presented by John d. Spreckels & Bros.
and Stewart Menzies. and at the funeral
the following acted as pail bearers:
Captain Gibbons Of the ship Fannie Kerr,
Captain Moigward of the Garsdale, Cap
tain Sufferin of the Craigerne. Captain
Hunter of the Otterburn, Captain Hughes
of the Carnarvonshire. Captain Williams Of
the Chinsura and Llewellyn Doris.
Alexander and his female companion.
for whom he deserted his wife, are still
staying at the New Western Hotel.
She admitted CALL reporter yesterday

name is Alice Vernon and that she was a
native Of Australia.

ges TO make-this is our private affair.
In deserving his wife Mr.. Ale xander has
done nothing more than thousands of
other men have done. l deny, however,
that he represented himself to Captain
Willox as a physician, and we paid our
fare on the ship. l attended Mrs. Willox
great deal during her sickness and Mr..
Alexander did all he could for her-while
Captain Willox was drunk. No, l can't
say that he was much under the influence
OF liquor previous to the trouble"
The woman is tall, blonde, and not
handsome. She dressed neatly in black.
Alexander was not at home, but Mr..
Levy, who had received the letter from
Mrs. Alexander published yesterday and
addressed dear friend" was present and
the woman was by his consent reading
this letter when the reporter called. He
v0uchsafed the remark that in the matter
of deserving his wife he was not favoring
'Eustace," as he called him, bnt for muir
der or any other charge be would stand by
him, as he was not gnilty of that.

the authorities in those days in doing

San Francisco harbor.
AS vessels headed for the north ran at
irregular periods in those days, Mr.. An
derson and his followers were compelled

date set for the next sailing.
Nothing unusual occurred during their
stay, but on the morning they were about

Panama for Victoria detachment of the
United States Provost Marshal Guard

then marched off to the old guardhouse at
the foot OF Telegraph Hill and placed
safely behind the bars.

nature of the charge under which the mys-

pleted survey of the upper Missouri
river and as far down as Atchison,
Kan. IL the opinion of the engineers
the Missouri river is dwindling away
and will. in tine, become small

of water at Great Falls, Mont, meas
ured 1876 cubic feet per second, while
q Fort Benton, % miles down the river,
t re volume was but 4, 1881 cubic feet per
s .cond. & decrease of 456 cubic feet.
