UNWASHED MONARCHs.

October 90. 1893 and is acknowledged be-
fore q. Z. Grimes, notary public. two
days later. IL reei;ed the usual statements
that the young woman. Wh3 is party 10

there are serious objections on the part of
her parents To the cOnsummation of the
marriage. The full name as signed is
Eula Maud Bearden, and her age is stated
to be 10 years. while Lyle Peter Van

tanning money by false pretenses and one
OF forgery against his name on the City
Prison book. The officers located Newton
at 613 Folsom street, where he had been
stopping with his wife since their arrival
in this city about six weeks ago from
Elko New.
When taken into custody the prisoner
pretended to be deaf and dumb, but his
operation Indicate that he has very glib
tongue. Within the past week he has
talked two unsuspecting men out of $50
each by promising them lucrative employ
ment IN the country and collecting money
from them with which to pay their rail-
road fare. The victims never saw him
after he had pOcketed the twenties. 1t is
also charged against him that he ordered
a S175 buggy from II. nj. Black 81 Co.,
giving them an order on Tillmann IL Ben
del for the money, and that he ordered
several large bills OF goods from the latter
firm and from Lachman & jacob without
intending TO pay for them. To the latter
firm he gave an order signed Z. Jones,
which is said TO be a forgery. Mr. Jones
is a wealthy man OF Nevada.
Max Laude, one of the men who were
duped by Newton's promises that he
would get them work, served as catspaw
him to number of firms with orders for
goods signed j. II. Caspar. None of the
goods were delivered, and it is believed
that Newton was only paving the way To
borrow money from the firms he pretended
to be patroniZing.

Second streets, gave Newton $40 70 in
change for check for $43 Is signed David

a forgery. The officers say that Newton
was about to leave the city when he was
caDtured.

PICNICS AND PATRONAGE.
Two Subjects Which the Iroquois
Club Discussed.

1t was announced at an Iroquois meet
ing last evening that John z. Irish on next
Friday night would address the club.
l.. Merle and L. Y. MitZger had little
tilt over the prospective Iriquois picnic
next May. Chief Merle wanted the picnic
TO take place on the second Sunday OF tie
month, which falls on the 18th of MAY.
Chief MitZger desired to have the uicnic
take place on the first Sunday of the
month. which falls on the 9Th, declaring
that 1T would prove a Jonah to have the
pienic on day containing the number 13. |"
1t was decided to hold the picnic. leaving
the trustees to fix the day. 1t was an
nounced that the expense for securing
Wildwood Glen at Sausaito tor the picnic
would be S6j.
G. II. Pratt, the financial secretary,
stated that it was hoped TO have had Rich
ard Croker present at the meeting last
evening, but that Mr.. Croker absented
himself from political gatherings in order
TO escape newspaper mention.
l.. Merle, for the committee on Federal
patronage. reported that he had called on
Superintendent Daggett of the Mint, but
that he was too busy 10 attend to applica-
tions for places just now. He also called
on Collector Wise. The collector said
there would be five vacancies next week,
but that the Democratic members in Con-
gress from California would name the men
TO Gll the vacancies. He made subsequent
calls on the collector, but failed to see him.

PALMER'S FIGURES
Expenses of the Peoples
Savings Bank.
Sale of Sutter-Street Property Makes
Another Apportionment for
DepOsitors.

W. Z. Palmer. secretary of the Peoples
Home Savings Bank, declares that 100000
has not been paid out for attorneys fees.
The sum of S533 30 was allowed the Sheriff
of Fresno County for selling the Hum
phreys land for S23. 533 Is. These fees were
allowed the Sheriff according to law aud
were paid to the Treasurer of the county.
"Of course. when mortgages are fore
closed" said Mr.. Palmer, "a reasonable
attorneys fee is paid. but this does not
come out of the assets of the bank, but
is charged against the property. as prop
erty is given not only TO secure the orig
nal loan TO the bank but all legal ex-
penses, which means Sherffs' fees, clerks
fees, etc. When the land is sold all of such
lees are recovered by the bank from the
land, and n no instance have Dorm &
Dorm been paid any fees that came out of
the banks assets.
ut is not true that $4,000 was paid for
foreclosng the mortgage on the Pacific
Bank. 1t has been announced that the
Pacific Bank only owed the People
Home Savings Bank S1400. Our attoI-
neys, Messrs. Stone and Doru u Dorm,
agreed not to charge the bank cent
unless they recovered judgment for the
entire sum of $500. 600 and interest. The
suit was bitterly contested by the attor-
neys for the Pacific Bank. but the People S
Home Savings Bank won. Our attorneys
were not paid $4,000, but they received a
reasonable fee
Now, as to the statement that parties
have not all received the 2 per cent; every
one has received it that has come TO the
bank for the purpose. and any statement
to the ,ntrary is false
Mr. Palmer added that Dorm & Dorm
had succeeded in selling the Sutter-street
property. Payment for it will be made
to-day. and another apportionment for the
depositors will be made at the next meet
ing of the board.
In conducting the work for the Pacific
Bank and that for the Peoples Home Mr..
Lalmer said that 81 900. 900 yorth of mort
q geS nad been fuTeclOSed Tor the latter
while The Pacific Bank had been collecting
| 500, 600, for which 5000 had been paid out
Figuring according to the rate they
nave paid, onr fees should have been $500
COO If we had collected the fees allowed
! according to the terms of the mortgages,
in foreclosing over $1,000 WORTH" said
Mr.. Palmer, there would been more than
S100,000 The actual fees Of attorneys have
not been one-ffth that amount. The other
four-fifths were waived by the attorneys
in favor of the depOstOrs of the bank, and
the bank never paid dollar out of its own
assets for this purpose. Such moneys were
| ii charge against the really foreclOsed."
MIR. Palmer declares that the officers OF
the bank have not bought pass-boOks of
the bank. and the charge that 100000 was
paid TO Frank NJ. Stone and himself he
pronounces false.
In the time that the bank has been in
trouble he says that $3.50. 200 in liabilities
has been paid off

ROPED HIM IN.
A Drummer GarrOted by
Chinese.
He Was Led to a Dark HALLWAY on
Pacific Street Where He Was
Choked and Robbed.

When c. W. Clifton. a drummer from
Chicago, returns to the pious village by
the lake he will have a new and true
story to tell mis- friends and admirers, but
before he goes he will be obliged to appear
in the Police Court ana tell why All Loy
should be sent to San Quentin for robbery.
Clifton left his lodging-hOuse on Mason
street last Monday night and ram bled
around the city for several hours. Long
after midnight he found himself at the
corner of Pacific and Kearny streets, where
he was accosted by Chinese, who asked
him il he would like to see the sights Of
the Mongolian quarter. The pagan guide
intimated that lie had something to show
that is not seen by the average tourist
something hidden, wicked and unlawful.
Clifton said he would go. and they pro-
ceeded up Pacific street, the pagan leading
the way. 1t was about 2:30 o'clock when
the guide halted in front of dark passage
on Pacific street, near Sullivan alley, and
before Clifton could speak, another
Chinese who had been hiding in the pas
sage threw moose of knoited rope over
his head and drew it tightly about his neck.
He gasped and struggled to free himself.
but was rendered unconscious by blow
from a sandbag or black jack in the hands
of the man who held the moose. The
kaOtted rope had torn the skin off his
neck ana loss OF DloOu caused nlm 10 re-
gain his senses just as the two men-who
had stolen S4 So all he had-were disap-
pearing in the shadow.
Clifton reported the case to the police
and gave a very accurate description of
the man who guided him to the passage.
This man was arrested on Wednesday and
booked for vagrancy at the old prison.
He said his name was All Low. Clifton
Identified him yesterday and he was
charged with robbery. Clifton retains the
