HOBART NUPT|ALS
A San Francisco HeireSS Webs
a Nephew of Senator
John P. Jones.
A Quiet Wedding Ceremony at High
Noon, Followed by Large
Reception.

Miss Alice Hobart and Winthrop Elwyn
Lester were married at high noon yester-
day at the brides home on Van Ness ave-
nue. and Washington street.
DR.. Mackenzie ufficiated and Walter S.
Hobart, brother of the bride, gave her
away. Miss Ella Hobart, the brides sister,
was the bridesmaid and Harry N. Stetson
acted as best man. Only the relatives and
few intimate friends were present be-
sides the bridal party. Mrs. George B.
Lester, the groom's mother; Senator and
Mrs. John P. Jones, the Misses Jones,
Marvin Jones, Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Hamil-
ton, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Gorham, Miss
Bessie Gorham, Colonel and Mrs. A Hay
ward. Mrs. Whitman, Miss Vassault, Miss
Hamilton, Miss Jessie Hobart and Walter
Shaw were of the number.
The bride was exquisitely attired in
ivory satin trimmed with old lace, and en-
veloping the elegant gown was bridal
veil attached to the couture by diamond
star, a gift from the groom. The brides
maids costume was a CONNECTION in pink
and white.
The halls were so decorated as to seem
forest of palms. The floral appointments
of the drawing-rooms were chiefly in pink
and white.
Several hundred invitations had been Is
sued to residents of San Francisco and Los
Angeles for the reception following the
wedding ceremony. The hours were from
1 to 3 O'Clock, and during that time the
spacious residence was thronged with
guests. Breakfast was served between
those hours.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lester left for the East yes
terday afternoon, and will sail for Europe
the latter part of the month. They will
spend q year in European travel.
The wedding was one of unusual inter-
est to California society. The bride is one
of San Francisco's wealthiest heiresses and
is equally well known as a leader in So
ciety and patroness of benevolent insti-
tutions, and the groom is nephew of SEN
ator John P. Jones of Nevada. Both are
deservedly popular with a large circle of
friends.
Among the guests at the reception were
seen Mr.. and Mrs. Webster Jones, Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Croker, e. w. McKinstry, Miss
Laura McKinstry, Mr.. and Mrs. Russell

showed there was no attempt to slight the
work OF extraction, or to furnish work for
the mill at the expense of the mine.
Exception was then taken to the charge
that the milling company has wrongfully
retained 81, 500, 900 worth of shines, tailings
and residue. 1t was claimed that 1t was
and had been the custom for thirty wears
on the Comstock lode for all mills to re-
tain the shines, tallings and residue of ores
operated upon. In conclusion Mr.. Tauszky
said:
"The evidence as a whole shows that no
act was done that was not done in the
strictest and utmost good faith and honesty
of purpose. We submit this case feeling
that there is no evidence in any shape OF
form to sustain this charge Of fraudulent
control by Flood or Mackay, no proof of
conceaiment with fraudulent intent and
no evidence to substantiate the charges of
the plaintiff"
Attorney Deal for defendant will occupy
the morning session of the court to-day in
presenting his argument. and will be fol-
lowed in the afternoon by Attorney Sic
berst for plaintiff, who will close the argu-
ment. 1t is expected that the case will be
submitted for decision to-day.

FadS
And Fashions

Come and go in the Picture Frame
business as in wearing apparel. At one
time particular style of molding takes
the popular fancy, only to be succeeded by
something entirely different We keep
sup to date" examples OF all the popular
designs and new finishes. AT present
nearly all oaks in good holdings are quar-
ter sawed and finished either in ANTIQUE
or dark English color. Some arc plain and
some are decorated with small ornamented
beads. Nearly all hardwood frames are
made of oak. Some pictures look well in
such woods as cherry, mahogany, birch,
maple, Hungarian ash, sycamore, chest
nut and curly redwood. Wa have them
all, and have competent salesmen who
know and will tell you what is best for
your picture if you require any assistance
to decide.
In fancy moldings-gold, cream and
gold, white and silver, russell olive and
apple-green are mostly used. For cabinet
and Paris panel frames, the demand is for
white metal, brass, silver and leather. Our
variety of fine leather frames, both plain
and silver mounted, is not equaled else
where, and the prices are all right on
everything.
We have recently received several new
things in photographs, small ones under
glass panels and large ones for framing.
The new lines of banquet and piano lamps
and onyx tables, received about two weeks
ago, give the best values and have proven
the best sellers that we have ever had in
orr store.
Our factory is located at 10 to 100

rooms are at TAI, 743, 745 Market street,

EACH TOOK MORPHINE.
One a Case of Suicide and
the Other a PitifuI
Mistake.
HAD BEEN DRINKING HEAVILY.
The Deadly Opiate Taken While the
Victims We're in a State OF
Intoxication.

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. 1o-Two young
men died in this city from overdoses OF
morphine early this morning. They were
Grant Wagner, who expired in room IN
the Mirror clearinghouse at 1855 o'clock,
and Frank G. Pierce, who breathed bis
last at 2:15 o'clock in the Occidental
Hotel. The latter case appears to have
been one of deliberate selfdestructlon, but
the friends of Wagner assert that he did
not intend to commit suicide, having
taken or been given the opiate to cause
him to sleep off the effects of excessive
drinking.
Wagner came to this city last Saturday
from San Francisco. His brother lives
here and is employed by H. c. Shaw,
the manufacturer of agricultural imple-
ments. Young Wagner, together with a
friend, Robert NJ. Cunningham, was about
to start for Oregon. Saturday, Sunday
and yesterday both drank considerably,
and by last night Wagner was very much
intoxicated. During part of yesterday
afternoon he was with DR.. Mccall, and he
said he could get something from the
physician to sober him.
Before dark Wagner and Cunningham
retired. About 9 o'clock the latter tried to
awaken his friend but could not arouse
him from the stupor caused by the drug.
Drs. Lanthurn, Bentley and Fitzgerald
were summoned, but the poison had taken
a deathhold on the young man before the
physicians reached him.
DR.. Mccall was arrested last night on a
charge of intoxication. On his person was
found flask half filled with mixture of
whisky and laudanum.
The mother and the sister of Wagner live
in Oakland and they were informed of the
death of the son and brother.
Pierce had also been drinking heavily
yesterday. Last evening he showed q
morphine-box to D. Bottensten and H J.
Keuchle in the hotel office, saying that a
dose of eight grains of the contents would
produce death. Pierce was SO intoxicated
at the time that little attention was paid
to his suicidal talk. He had not been in
bed long before his heavy breathing
awakened the occupant of an adjoining
room, and he tried to arouse the sleeper
but could not.
DR.. Danthurn was summoned from the
bedside of Wagner to that of Pierce. The
attempts to save the latter's life were as
futile as the efforts to restore the other
man. Pierce had probably taken the fatal
dose before retiring, for the box could not
be found in his room; either that or he
had thrown the box out of the window.
On piece OF paper found by his bedside
were written the addresses, rs. H. Gillard,
San Francisco" and May Foster, Hol-
land, Michigan"
Pierce leaves a brother named E. L.
Pierce in Jackson, Mich.

OLYMPIC CLUB AFFAIRS.
The New Oficers Were Installed Last
Evening-Wrestlinga and Tennis
Games.

The installation OF Olympic Club officers
took place last evening in the presence of
toleraply fair gathering of members.
The retiring president, B. P. Flint, made
quite lengthy address, in which he stated
that the clubs finances have never been in
better condition than now; that the club
had 900 in its treasury notwithstand ding
the fact'that the expenses of running the
big institution for the year amounted to
something like $4,000
''Our board of directors" said Mr.. Flint,
"was conservative in many ways, and it is
with pleasure l can now say that the club
is financially in very healthy condition
and it will be my sincerest wish to see it
continue SO In the future
The new president, and in fact all of the
gentlemen who compose the new board
addressed the members who were present
They said that no stone would be left I'M
turned to advance the interests of the club,
which is, to-day, the grandest athletic in
stitution in the country.
The athletes of the Olympic Club who
journeyed to Sacramento purposely to take
part in the celebration and to contest in
the championship games felt rather sore
last evening because the committee ap-
pointed to take charge of the athletic end
of the celebration refused to allow the
games to be held yesterday forenoon on
the racecourse ground. Leonard Gill,
the clubs captain, said last evening on his
return from the State capital that the
members of the athletic association re-
ceived very unfair treatment at the hands
of the athletic committee, and had it
not been for the strenuous talk they made
in their own behalf they would not have
received cent of the $500 that had been
guaranteed to them for prizes and defray
ing expenses. So far as the track was con-
cerned, GIL said that it was in good con-
dtion after the sun had blossom ed throu h
the clouds, and that the games should
have been held, and especially as they
were championship events. The associa-
ton has decided to hold the games at the
Oakland track on the afternoon of the 21st
inst.
Tomorrow evening the wrestling cham
pionship of the Olympic Club will be held
in the gymnasium. There will be five
special matches A handicap single tennis
contest will take place at the outdoor
grounds on Sunday, the I'D inst.
