DRAMATIC SCENE.
Divorced Woman Tries to
End Her Life.
Mrs. Scott Swaliows Carbolic Acid
and Falls Writhing in Agony at
Her Ex-Husband's Feet.

There was a dramatic scene at the cor
ner of Eighth and Mission streets last
night about O'clock in which divorced
couple and a mutual friend participated.
George Scott, carriage-bulder of 4S
Eighth street, obtained a divorce from his
wife, Maggie, on the grounds of intemper-
ance, on January %. From tue time the
divorce suit was instituted Mrs. Scott has
lived with a friend, Mrs. Peterson, at East
Berkeley, and since the decree was
granted she has been in very respondent
state of mind. On Saturday last she at
tempted to swallow a dose of carboic
acid, but Mrs. Peterson snatched the vial
out of hand in time to prevent her, although
portion of the acid fell upon her breast
and burned it severely. Mrs. Peterson
induced her to promise that she would not
make another attempt to kill herself.
Last night Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Peterson
called by appointment upon Mr.. Scott to
arrange some matters in connection with
the division of the community property.
The business was conducted in cold and
formal manner, and as Mrs. Peterson
knew that Mrs. Scott was craving for a
kind word, she remarked that it would be
better if there were less formality.
Scott accompanied them to the corner of
Eighth and Mission streets and then
stopped.
Wont you go across the bay with us?"
said Mrs. Scott.
No" said Scott; 'that wouldn't be
right"
"Well. won't you 90 down to the ferry
with us ?" she pleaded,
II can't" said Scott. land there's no
use in placing me in such an embarrassing
position. It's as well to end it nOw."
III you don't I'll kill myself" she said.
Goodnight" said Scott. and turned TO
walk away.
Mrs Scott. who had vial containing
carboIc acid in her hand unknown to
Mrs. Peterson, quickly pulled out the
cork, poured the contents down her throat
and fell to the ground shrieking with pain
Scott rushed toward her. lifted her uI
in his arms and carried her into restau.
rant close by. He then proceeded to police
headquarters for the patrol wagon. and
the unfortunate young woman-for she /:
not over 25 years of age-was taken 10 the
Receiving Hospital accompanied by Scot
and Mrs. Peterson.
Or. Berry did everything he could t.
relieve her pain, and afterward expressed
the opinIonsthat whether she lived or died
would depend upon how much Of the aci(
had found its way into her system.

THE DELAY.
Why Distractions on Van Ness Ave.
nue. Are Not Removed.

The delay of the Street Department in remov-
ing the Instructions Van Ness avenue on
the Laguna Survey, as ordered by the Board Of
Supervisors, has occasioned considerable COM

The committee reported having met with
very little encouragement in the matter OF OBJ
tanning an assured patronage of the proposed
institution, and was also somewhat fearful
that the amount of capital necessary would ex-
ceed that which would be at its disposal.
A sewing and mending bureau seemed more
feasible, since IL required less present outlay,
but would not perhaps be of so great ultimate
benefit.
In view of the fact that 1t IS the public to

CALIFORNIA FRUIT.

The re,eipts ~ California fruit IN all
eastern markets this year have been I'M
mense aud never before approached.
Thi. 4 one of the new conditions tia,
the fruit grower az we'll AZ the dealer has
nov Ia contend with, aud II Il now quite

be. or What course the fruit producers
Of the East should take In the matter.
Certainly all former plan. aud calcula.

received. The shipment. la July were
interrupted by the strike, thirty-t,e oil
the torty-One cars being received la the
fr.i i've days of the month.
The kinds of fruit have been cherries,
apricots, plums, Bartlett pears aud
peaches In the order named. Of the
pears there has been perfect avalanche,
knocking the market to smash for our
native grown, early varieties. These
California Bartletts are fairly good In
quality, and coming few weeks earlier
than the home grown, and keeping up a
continuous supply for some length oi
time, the gimp l. all taken out Of the
market before the home supply comes
on. Though not a. good as our own,
Yet they are a substitute so long as the

Recently the arrival of peaches has
been very heavy. The quality, however,
compared with Eastern fruit OF the
same Kind, L. very inferior. They dc
not, therefore, interfere with home mar
ket prices, ss do the pears.
