.DLRRANT NOT WORRIED At THE LEAK STORY,

church she saw her mistake. 1t was not
Lucille Turner, but Blanche Lamont,
whom she had noticed at church services
quite frequently. The girl had package
of schoolbooks under her arm, and as the
two passed .leIsnrely, chatting gayly, Mrs.
Leak was convinced of their identity be-
yond doubt.
Upon reaching the church gate the
couple stopped for an instant, and Durrant
held open the gate and passed in after his
companion.
What an imprudent thing for her to
do" said Mrs. Leak to herself; not that
she thought anything detrimental to the
character of either, but for the reason that
the young lady was laying herself liable to
unkind remarks from others who might
have seen her enter with the young man.
Having nothing else to occupy her
time or mind Mrs. Leak continued her
vigil, keeping her eyes steadily fixed on
the church, expecting every moment to
see the young couple come out She
waited a long time, how long she cannot
say, but considerably over half an hour,
but the gate did not reopen. Household
duties then claimed her attention and she
left her post.
This circumstance might have faded
completely out OF the mind of the old lady
had she not heard within the next day or
two of the mysterious disappearance of
Blanche Lamont. She was certain that
she had seen the girl enter the church with
Durrant on the day she was said to have
disappeared, and the recollection came to
her in the natute of a shock when she real
lied that the young medical student might
have had a hand in the disappearance.

the constant effort of the police ever since

police the nature of the evidence he would
give. With the statement of Mrs. Leak.
they are confident that they have accom-
plished their purpose. The old lady,
who, they say, is bright and &C,
tive despite her silvery hair and
her over three-score years, is sadly
positive that she could not have been mis-
taken. If she is not, what does her testi-
Iimony prove, and how closely does 1t con-
meet with King's2 At ten minutes, past
four she saw Blanche Lamont enter the
church with Theodore Durrant. For
long time, certainly much longer than
half an hour, she waited and watched and
neither came out of the church. Shortly
before o'clock King saw Durrant in the
state described in the Sunday-school room
of the church. Twelve days later the mu-
t1lated boOy of Blanche Lamont was found
in the belfry; her school-books were found
there secreted in the rafters.
These statements being offered by Mrs.
Leak, say the police, who can deny that
her statements are true2 They point to
her acquaintance, to her life and reputa-
ton in the neighborhood to establish her
sincerity and truth. They point to her
sprightly eye and her elastic step to show
that the advance of years has neither i'm
paired her vision nor deranged her intel
lect. She is the welder of the link and the
prosecution is prepared to go freshly to the
combat, REINFORCED by her evidence.
That is what the prosecution thinks OF
the testimony of Mrs. Leak.

MASS-MEET|NG TONIGHT
Rev. DR.. NJ. J. Ferguson Will
Preside at the Metropolitan
Hall Gathering.
Further Details Regarding the Pro-
posed Anti-RaiIroad Con-
Vention.

Three distinct and important matters
are to be considered at the mass-meeting
which will be held at Metropolitan Hall at
8 O'Clock this evening.
Resolutions are to be introduced con-
demning the action of General w. M.
Graham for having the inscription, 'mur-
tombstone and demanding that the same
be removed; expressing indignation over
the failure to prosecute G. P. Huntington
on the charge of having violated the inter-
state commerce act in issuing pass to
Frank NJ. Stone, and providing for the ap-
pointment of com mittee of fifteen to
issue call and devise ways and means for
State anti-railroad convention, to be
held some time in October.
Rev. DR.. M. J. Ferguson, member of
the Civic Federation, will preside at the
meeting, and the following named gentle
men will be asked to act as vice-presidents ::
Adolph Sutro, George K. Fitch, A.
Reed, I. J. Truman, George T. Gaden,
Eugene Deuprey, M. McGlynn, D. Nc

John Nugent, ]. M. Marble, J. G. Mcguire,
G. w. Van Guelpen, E. c. Barman, Will
liam Zahn, S. A. Lyser. II. Luttercourt.
1t is proposed to have the anti-railroad
convention composed of $50 delegates, 200
to be elected at mass-meetings TO be held
in the various counties under the auspices
of the committee to be appointed Saturday
night, and $50 to be selected by the general
committee.
Care will be taken in the selection made
by the general committee that only recog-
nized anti-railroad men are named, and it
is hoped to bring all the people in the
State opposed to the railroad influence in
politics under one banner.
One of the committee having the mass
meeting in charge had this to say yester-
day of its ultimate purpose:
"The editorial in this mornings CALL is
we'll timed and wholly in accord with the
views of the committee in reference to
to-morrow's meeting We do not propose
to allow this meeting to be used for the
purpose of enabling blatant demagogues
to air themselves nor to permit cranks or
others of that ilk to sway the meeting
from it's fixed and earnest purpose.
"The incidents out of which the meeting
grew, while in themselves, perhaps, of no
great moment, are of the utmost signifi-
canoe in indicating the fearful dominion
of the railroad in our National, State and
municipal affairs, and we now propose by
the exercise of our good Judgment, COM
nonsense, will and determination to set
going movement that will result in Cali
fornia's deliverance, and all who feel an
active and earnest interest in this question
that so vitality affects US are cordially in
vlted to join us in our present undertake

THE COMMITTEE OF ELEVEN.
A Strong Appeal to the Citizens to At.
tend the Meeting.

A Strong Appeal to the Citizens to At
tend the Meeting.
The meeting at Metropolitan Hall to-
night has received the unqualified indorse-
ment of every prominent reform organiza-
ton in the City. The following address
was issued by the committee of eleven YES
terday:
SAN Francisco, Aug Is, 1895.
To the Citizens Of San Francisco: The commit
tee OF eleven which originated in the move
ment OF January last against the Reilly fund
ing bill and to secure action upon the part of
the Federal officials against Coils P. Hunting
ton for violation of the interstate commerce
law Is now advised that the Indictment which
was finally made against Coils P. Huntington
is dismissed without trial.
Bearing in mind the good results of the work
done last January and February THAT the
authorities did listen to the popular demand
made at that time), we now deem it the proper
time for additional effort.
We are informed that a movement is on foot
to secure q public demand for renewal of
some action against Coils P. Huntington and
the removal of railroad and corporation infiu-
ences from our State and municipal politics.
The occasion warrants in.again asking the
citizens of San Francisco to act.
We trust they will remember that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty" and that the
trying to influence our legislative bodies and
officials The time is not far distant when
Congress will meet again, and the Southern
Pacific Company will probably try to obtain
the passage of some bill similar to the defeated
Reilly funding bill.
They are at work now. They, through their
agents are at work in City Councils, with our
State Commissioners and in our courts. Every
public protest against these INSCRIPTIONS and
insidious foes of the people should be sup
ported by all good citizens. Every public meet
ing devoted to expressing popular condemna-
ton of corruption and favoritism is a benefit.
We hope that the citizens of San Francisco
will again indorse the formation of another
committee which will take active measures to
defeat the purposes of the peoples enemies.
We believe that the movers of the mass-meeting
to be held at Metropolitan Temple on Saturday
night are sincere and patriotic. We therefore,
as citizens committee, hereby express our
approval of any and all lawful measures
toward the removal of the evil influences of
the Southern Pacific Company and all other
corporations and com binations from municipal.
State and National politics, ana understanding
this to be the ultimate aim of those who have
called that meeting, we urge all citizens to
attend. We remain, yours faithfully,

mittee of Eleven.

resumed in Judge Murphy's court yester-
day morning in full face of the informa-
tlon that new and presumably most I'M
portant witness against the defendant had
been found. 1t was patent in the nature
OF things that the defendant had been
fully apprised of the damaging testimony
OF this new witness, but no one would ever
have Judged it from his demeanor. Dur
rant was positively mirthful. He. fairly
beamed on the court officials and when
Mr.. Deuprey came in little late he
Leaned over smiling broadly at some 1nfor-
nation he had to convey, and Mr.. Deu-
prey, IN turn, seemed to be struck by
something very humorous in the remarks
of his client.
There was a full house looking on.
noting every change in the faces OF the
accused and his attorney, and the specta-
tors were not slow to see that Mr.. Deuprey
was not In as fine form as he usually IS.
HIS eyes had the appearance OF those OF a
man who has been burning the midnight
Oil IN the solution of abstruse questions,
and Mr.. Deuprey at the present time, with
the Durrant case and the Haskins will
contest In full blast at the same time. has
probably had to burn the necessary oil.
Judge Murphy was behind time himself
and labored painfully as he ascended the
bench and looked out over the crowd
In front of him. The defendant, by this
time, mao laced square around 10 the
bench, the first time he mas done so since
the trial began, his back to the audience.
his Honor got down to business imne-
diately. and after the calling of the roll of
the jurors in the box and the citizens in
the new venire announced himself ready
to hear excuses. At least fifty of the
veniremen rose in a mass and for the
next haif-hour engaged the attention of
the court with their pleas for release.
This task being finished, the work of ex-
amlnlng jurors was commenced, his Honor
stating that he was feeling so badly that
he would take recess at noon for the day.

THE TIBURON BUTCHER.
A Secret and Mysterious Boycott EstaD-
1ished at the Port of Bel

There is secret and mysterious organ
ization in Tiburon that is boycotting the
"Old Butcher" who has been doing bust
ness in his own peculiar way for several
years to the let and hindrance of competi-
ton. There have been three attempts at
running him out and he is still there. But
if the citizens committee can succeed in
proving to the satisfaction of one of the
half-dozen+ aspiring butchers who re-
sponded to the advertisement for new
butcher that there is something in it the
"Old Butcher" Will have to hump" him
self.
The citizens committee, or any member
thereof, was apparently difficult problem
to solve. Every body seemed to know there
was a protest against the butcher, but
none seemed willing to adduce the names
and testimony.

THE GRAND JURY.
Preparations to Investigate Various
Offices of the Municipal Gov


The Grand Jury held another session
yesterday afternoon. District Attorney
Hosmer attended the meeting.
Word was given out that no business of
special Importance was transacted yester-
day. One of the jurors said that the Hale
e. Norcross frauds had not been consid-
cred by the jury. No indictments have
been reported since the two against E. s..
Cattley-one for forgery and the other for
mbezzlement-which were returned last
Monday.
1t is known that the jury is preparing to
investigate affairs in the various depart
ments of the municipal government, but
jurors assert that there is no inclination to
proceed with haste. Committees are col
lecting information and presenting their
views to the entire body.

Says: ITO do splendid thing is
simply to do common thing bet
ter than others do it." That is just
what we are doing. We are making
just as good picture frames at a
moderate price as can be made any
where. We give employment to
over 100 sober, industrious hands
in the making of frames and mold
ings alone, which shows that the
people are willing to patronize
home industry, providing that
home factories give as good an arti-
Gle at as low price as can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere. Six years ago,
when our factory was in its infancy,
thlrty-one travelling statesmen, rep
resenting thirty-one picture-frame
molding factories in the Eastern
States, arrived in this city Zone
each day. during the month of
January. During January OF 1895
only three came. For the THINK
Err, comment is unnecessary.
Our factory is equipped with all
the best and latest machinery and
can turn out molding for the mil
lion just as good in quality and
lower in price than it can be landed
from factories on the Otner size.
Our pine lumber is cut to size and
to order in the mountains, and our
plain and quarter-sawed oaks come
in carload lots from the mills in the
woods where the oak tree grows.
In buying of US you not only give
employment to a large number of
your own people. but you get every
thing at first hands and at lowest
prices.
The things we make besides mold
ings for picture frames are room
holdings, mirror frames, drawing
boards, wood easels, artists stretch
ers, palettes, t squares, pine back
ing, plain and ornamented cornice-
poles, screens, hat racks, towel
racks and swinging mirrors.
Our factory is located at 10 to
72O Minna street, and our Store and
Salesrooms are located at al, 743,
745 Market street, opposite Grant
avenue, with Branches at Portland
and Los Angeles. Visitors always

with steadfast faith. II, therefore,
the Church OF Christ in this fair land,
containing, perhaps from nine to ten
millions of praying souls, would fill
it's imagination with the grand con-

it became q spreading flame, and then
pray for it as with one heart, not

there not ample scriptural ground for

the feet of CHRIST, and, as WIS the

revolutionary principles, and bring
