THE INQUEST.
Little Light Thrown Upon the Lone,
Suicide.

Little Light Thrown Upon the Lonely
Suicide.
SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 22.-An inquest was
held here to-day upon Harry C. Stillwell,
late collector for the Bank of California,
who committed suicide yesterday by shoot
ng himself through the heart on board
1.-THE ark Atlantis, anchored off Tiburon.
Andrew Swanson was the first witness.
He testified to seeing Stillwell come over
on the 30 boat Wednesday and 60 on
board the ark Atlantis. He seemed to be
in good spirits at that time. He did not
see Stillwell after that until next morning
about o'clock while Stillwell was in bed
on board the ark. Swanson left the ark
for about one hour, and when he came
back he went inside and found StillWell
dead.
Mr.. Searles, manager for the Belvedere
son that Stillwell was dead and on exam
ming found that Stillwell had shot him
self. After satisfying himself that Stillwell
was dead he sent word to Coroner Eden,
who came and took charge of the remains
james L. Hawkes., paying teller of the
Bank OF California, and also owner of the
ark Atlantis, on which Sullwell committed
suicide, testified to his acquaintance with
young Stillwell, but said he could give no
reason why Stillwen was dismissed from
the bank. He recognized the handwriting
on the note found on the ark as that of
Stillwell.
DR.. W. ]. Wickman, who held the au-
topsy, found that bullet had entered the
chest on line with the fourth rib on the
left side, passing through and striking the
under border of the cartilage of the left rib
and perforated the right vertrice of the
heart and passed through to the spinal
column, where it lodged little on the left
side.
David Bayley, bookkeeper at the Bank of
California, said he knew Stillwell only at
the bank, and identified his handwriting
on the note
The jury brought in a verdict that Still
well came to his death by gunshot wound,
self-inhicted with suicidal intent.

PIANOS AND ORGANS BURNED
a Red-Hot Stove Sets Fire to Musical
Instruments.


Instruments.
A stove that was red hot all over in the
store of George Wells, at 1860 Market
street, set fire to the stock of musical in
struments yesterday afternoon.
Somebody connected with the store left
the stove full of fuel and blazing and an
hour later there were organs with burning
pipes and pianos swapping their strings
under the tension of the hot time they
were having. At 2:40 p NJ. an alarm was
turned III from box 70 by people who saw
the store ablaZe and smoking. A chemical
engine soon had the fire under control.
When the smoke cleared away it was
seen that several organs were utterly
ruined and some pianos had met a like
fate. Instruments that were farther re-
moved from the fire suffered so much from
heat that they may be of no use.
The captain of the Fire Underwriters
Patrol estimated the loss at $500 on the
building and about $4,000 on the stock of
musical instruments. He was in doubt
about the value of pianos and organs,
either burned up or destroyed by heat, and
the loss may be very much greater than
estimated.
The building belongs to Gladding, Nc
Bean e. Co., and being substantially built
of brick prevented the flames from
spreading.
A false alarm was given from box 516 at
Georgia and Humboldt streets at 80

a very fine player, and the same can be
said of some of the other members of the
Gaiety team, especially so of J. A. E. Ma
lone, who is considered one of the best
amateur wicket-keepers in England. While
the Galety people were playing in New
York City both Bradfield and Malone ac-
