to read that letter."
81 hope that no controversy will arise
here between the witness and his attor-
ney,n said Judge Lorigan.
''There will be no controversy" quietly
responded Delmas. II know my duty In
this instance, will act independently OF
my client. Now that the other side has
brought out certain matters | must go far
enough to set my client right"
In an impressive manner Delmas then
read the document. 1t was confession OF
infidelity, giving the names of number OF
well-known men, which were not read.
She agreed to take $50 month. The clos
ing clause was to the effect that the party
signing the document was willing to take
$4,000 down instead of $50 month and she
agreed never to trouble her husband or his
people again.
"Does this document contain the only
reason why you left your wife?" asked
Delmas.
'It does" was the reply.
Two letters were then introduced that
were written by the woman to her hus-
band before she began the divorce pro-
ceedings. She expressed great love for
him and begged him to come back aud live
with her again. The complete manner in
which Delmas turned the table upon his
opponents and disproved the cruelty as
serted against George Barron caused some
thing of a sensation. Both sides declared
that they had finished their examination
of George Barron. He stepped from the
witness-stand and the court adjourned.

developed until o'clock this morning,
when he was suddenly taken worse. He
became unconscious at 1890 O'Clock and
remained SO until 2 80 clock in the after
noon and continued in that condition until
his death. His funeral will take place
from Grace Church, this city, of which Mr..
McAllister was member.
Samuel Ward McAllister was born sixty
four years ago in Savannah, Ga. He
prided himself upon his Southern birth
the length of his ancestry and of his social
success. His ancestors were great leaders
in the time of Washington. For eighteen
years he lived in Savannah. With his
eventeenth-century ideas of social exclu-
siveness, he acquired the knowledge and
belief which virtually controlled the doors
of metropolitan society.
Leaving Savannah he settled in Newport,
R. l., and made the fashionable popularity
of that place. He was leader of modish
folk by nature and training. Professionally
Mr.. McAllister was lawyer.
He was graduated from Yale and went to
San Francisco in the fall of 1852 Western
life, which was then crude, did not satisfy
him, and after practicing law with Hall Nc
Allister, his brother, he came East and
Married Miss Sarah Gibbons, lady OF
wealth and good position.
Then it was that he settled in Newport.
He dressed quietly, always in dark
clothes, invariably wearing hugh hat and
cutaway coat in the street and over
CATERS. The Astors, CHAMBERS, Sam
uel Ward, Marion Crawford, Julia
Ward Howe, the Boston Appletons and
Princes. the Paterson Bonapartes, the Mas
sachusettf Parkers, were all his relatives.
Mr.. McAllister is the author of Society

FIRED TEN sHoTs AT 4 BURGLAR.
a Pretty Santa Cruz Girl Vho KnotUs
HotU to Defend Her. Don,iciIe.

SANTA CRUZ, Jan. 31.-Early this morn
ing Miss Maud Jenkins, who is not yet out
of her teens, was awakened by burglar
who was trying the windows of her home,
on River street. to gain an entrance. She
alarmed her mother, who called to the bur-
glar to leave. AS he did not do so Miss
Jenkins procured her rife, and at the first
shot the burglar made his exit through
gate. The second time she pulled the trig-
ger it snapped. This gave the burglar an
opportunity to hide behind stump. From
his ambush he threw clods of dirt against
the house, and the young lady fired in the
direction from where the clods came until
the burglar made his retreat. In all Miss
Jenkins fired ten shots, raising window
to do so. She has been used to a rifle from
early childhood and is a sure shot, but in
firing at the burglar she was under disad-
vantage, for the night was dark and he was
behind stump, which accounts for his
not being hit. Miss jenkins, who is quite
a pretty young lady, is copyist at the
Hall of Records.

is the essence of good breeding as well as good
fellowship. There was revolt against him
once. Some ladies imagined that he was par
tial in assisting others daughters into promi-
nence. They organized The Cotillons with only
women on the committee. They couldn't help
asking for Mrs McAllister's assistance"
Certainly" said Mr.. McAllister, "my wife
will gladly join 1t is al excellent idea, and
we will do ali we can for il"
There was no standing that kind of treat
ment, and the cotillons were soon abandoned.
Mrs. McAllister never appears in society, nor
does she preside at her own table when her
husband gives dinners. She is an invalid, and
her daughter Louise takes her place. These
home dinners are Mr.. McAllister's pride. He
gives about one a week, and covers are never
laid for more than eight-six guests, his
daughter and himself. These affairs do not
belong to society, nor do the guests necessarily
belong to the most ltra-fashionable set.

PABDoNED BY THE GOVERNOR
Clemency for Fresno Man Who Sold
Liquor to Indians.

SACRAMENTO. Jan. 31.-George W. Lemon
of Fresno was pardoned by Governor Budd
to-day. He was sentenced to three months
imprisonment in State prison for selling
liquor to Indians. 1t was Immediately
after the law went into effect that Lemon
violated the law. The Governor was earn
estly petitioned to commute the sentence,
but had no authority to do this, and so he
issued a pardon.
Governor Budd is strongly in favor of
amending the law governing this offense
SO that the Judge may have the option of
sentencing an offender to the county
Jail or the State prison. The Indians to
whom the liquor was sold did not live in
tribal relations, and the Governor thinks
the gravity of the offense was not sufficient
to warrant the stigma of imprisonment.
Governor Budd instances the case of a
Mexican who had been in the State fonr
days. He gave glass of angelica wine to
squaw and was sentenced to State
prison. A pardon will probably be issued
in this case also.
