SCHAFFER'S NEW CHARGES,
Little Hope Of His Being Able
to Remove Policeman
Banks.
Superior Judges Ask That McC1oud's
Recent Dismissal Be Re.
considered.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

OAhLAND Ott1CE DAN u fRANClSCO OALL,t
90S Broadway, Nov. II.
Ex-Chief of Police Schaffer is not going
to allow his charges against Officer Banks
To-day he flied an amended complaint
and added other charges to those that
were declared out of order at the last meet
ing of the Commissioners.
II was never more surprised in my life, "
said Sehaffer to-day, ''to find that l was
opposed to Attorney Nusbaumer when l
went before the board to substantiate nv
charges. l never knew the commission
was court of law, although l presume il
is court of Justice, and [ went there in
tending to prosecute my own case. But
when | found that Banks had attorneys
there L realized that fight was to be
made on technicalities, and as | drew up
my complaint myself, and do not claim
to have any intricate knowledge of law. |
saw that [ would be tripped up. 7 never
heard OF charges against a police officer
being dismissed by the Commissioners be-
cause of some legal technicality.
II have had my complaint put in legal
shape now and am prepared with my wit
nesses to substantiate what | have set
forth"
Policeman Banks is preparing to refute
Schaffer's charges by attacking the re-
liability of the witness.
Both sides are making great efforts to
dig up memories of alleged misdoings in
the past, but it is more than likely that
the investigation will be limited to the
period since Schaffer was succeeded as
Chief OF Police. Should he press the
charges dating from a time prior to his
leaving the force it is more than limited
that he will be taken to task for not bring
ing them while i'll office.
During the last of Mr.. Schaffer's term
Il. w. McCloud was dismissed from the
force for insubordination, on charges
Cloud was discharged.
During the past few days McCloud has
obtained the signatures of ali the Superior
Judges in this county to petition asking
that he be given rehearing in the matters
that ended in his downfall

Horrible Fate of a Lone and
Feeble Woman of Ninety
Years.
HER CLOTHES CAUGHT FIRE
She Was About to Prepare Her Break
fast on a Coal.Oil Stove in
Her Room.

Mrs. Eliza G. Holdredge 80 years of age,
who lived alone in a little rear room at
13l7 Union street, came to q horrible death
at 9:45 A. M. yesterday by burning.
Her fate was discovered by some neigh
bors few minutes later. Miss May
Chamberlain, who lives at 1923 Union
old lady's room, and, supposing the place
was on fire, told her mother, Mrs H.
Chamberlain, and brother Albert. Fire
man George Bury of truck 4 happened to
be in that vicinity and his assistance was
called. An alarm was at once turned in
from box 1913, at Union and Hyde streets,
and Bury made an entrance into Mrs.
Holdredge's room.
The unfortunate woman was lying on
the floor between the bed and bureau, her
head near the latter and her face down
ward. Her clothing was burned from her
body. There was coal-oil stove with both
burners blazing near by, and it was plain
that this on which she was accustomed to
cook her meals, had been the cause of her
burning to death.
Thinking, perhaps that she might still
have some life in her, neighbors conveyed
her outside, but she had breathed her last.
When found, her body was lying at full
length with arms outstretched, indicating
something of the awful agony of her
tragic ending.
For some years Mrs. Holdredge has
moved about with great difficulty. She
had two sons in this City, S. NJ. and r. G.
Holdredge, and also daughter, Josephine
A. Holdredge, but she would never yield
to their opportunities to make her home
with them, preferring, instead, to live by
herself.
s Had she been less feeble she might
easily have effected an egress from her
room to the back porch.
Miss Chamberlain saw her in good
health and spirits across the little yard
which is between the two domiciles less
than an hour previous and paid her a
brief call, as was her custom. After the
exchange of greetings and gossip Miss
Chamberlain returned to her own place,
and it is supposed Mrs. Holdredge pro-
ceeded to prepare a breakfast for herself.
While in the act of getting some water
from stationary washstand close by,
after she had lighted the burners of the
stove, her clothes must have become
ignited. The stove had double burners,
and they would easily flare up. Her
body was burned in large patches, yet no
one heard any cry from her. Her face
and head had been partly protected by
bandage, which she always wore.
Mrs. Holdredge had long been a reside
of this State. She was a native of New
York. Her funeral will take place from
HaIsted & Co. Thursday afternoon. The
body was first taken to the Morgue, but
her children waived an inquest. r. G.
Holdredge, one of her sons, is the we'll
known artist and lives in Alameda. The
awful intelligence of the death of his
mother was terrible shock to him.
There was very little for the Fire De-
partment to do, the only thing to which
the flames from her clothing were COM
municated being some loor-matting. This
was soon extinguished.

FOR LIBEL.
Thomas L. Candy, a Carpenter, Swears
Out Warrant for John #.
Ryan's Arrest.

Thomas L. Candy, carpenter who got
himself into trouble about ten days ago
through his attentions to the wife of his
former partner, John f. Ryan, swore out a
warrant yesterday in Judge Joachimsen's
court for Ryan's arrest on a charge of
criminal libel.
The libel was contained in letter which
was sent by Ryan to the secretary of the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners. and was read at a meeting of the
union on October 81. In the letter Ryan
charged Candy with trying to assault his
wife and with stealing every dollar from
them. Candy in his complaint alleges
that these statements are false and mali
cious.
Candy was arrested about ten days ago
at the instance of Ryan for disturbing the

The Suit Has Been Filed Several Days,

THAT LITTLE FRENCH GIRL.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI

II
90S Broadway, Nov. II.
Baron Baroteau is a very indignant man.
Ten days ago his wife filed a suit for
divorce and laid her plans SO that the
story of her alleged wrongs were made
public.
Ten days have elapsed and the Baron
has not yet been served with the summons,
although he is daily on the streets. He
now declares that there is no desire on the
part of his wife to press the complaint and
that it is only part of scheme to force a
compromise.
II don't know what to make of nv
wife's actions" said the Baron to-day. 81
have had the supreme annoyance of seeing
all about my flirting with a very interest
ing little French girl, IN the newspapers,
but [ have not seen com plant vet and
think that the divorce suit is not brought
in good faith. Ny wife cannot substan-
tiate anything that she has alleged and
when we agreed to separate we made a
settlement that was satisfactory to both of
us. | do not think Mrs. Baroteau is re-
sponsible for her actions and | know that
my life was not safe while was with her.
| can prove that she presented pistol at
me and that she has caused me much
mental and bodily anguish.
'She recently sold piece of property
in Alameda, and she is just throwing the
money away as fast as she can. She has
taken apartments at Fifth and Market
streets and recently gave ball and had
great time. Fancy a woman nearly so
years of age giving dancing party while
she is applying for divorce. This way
of bringing a suit and not serving the
papers places a man at disadvantages
He has to put up with all the opprobri1m
of the charges, and he cannot file sworn
denial. L intend to bring a cross-com-
plant, and | do not fear the consequences
never firted in my life, and when we
were on our wedding trip [ did not tell my
wife l would like to leave her for little
while, while l went across the dining
room and tried to create an impression on
a little French girl. l do not know what
Mrs. Baroteau is thinking about, and can
only conclude that there is some plot at
the bottom of all this that concerns nv
property rights, although l have no doubt
the lady would like a divorce il she could
pet it -

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.

Frank Kloss Brought to the Bar
for Killing William Deadly.
A jury for the trial OF Frank Kloss for
the murder of William Deadly has been
secured, and the case for the people has
been started. Deadly was murdered in a
saloon on Hayes street some months ago.
He was sitting in chair asleep when
Kloss came in, and remarking that he
would wake the man up he drew out his
penknife and stabbed Deadly in the neck.
The man died in few moments.
Kloss' defense was that he was insane
from liquor. 1t was the unwillingness OF
the Jurors to look with favor upon this de-
fense that caused SO much delay in getting

peace. When the case was heard before
Judge Campbell Ryan told tale of Candy
having alienated his wifes affections and
broken up his home. The Judge sentenced
him to six months in the County Jail, but
found that he had exceeded the limit, and
when Candy was taken back to be resen-
fenced the case was dismissed at Ryan
request.

Bed Napoleon Died Upon.

A French traveller who has been vis- iting the island of St. Helena, declares that the house in which Napoleon died is in sad state of dilapidation and neg lect. Not vestige of furniture remains within its four walls, the only object visible being a bust of Bonaparte in the room in which he expired. If the edifice is devoid of furniture, however, there are at least ten times as many chairs, wardrobes, washstands, etc., in other parts of the world, supposed to have been in it, as would fill dozen houses of like proportions. For in- stance, the bed on which Napoleon died is to be found at the Invalides, at Mime. Tussaud's and at the Grevie museum. The very same bed is in the possession of Marquis de Biron, and of the family of Marshal Bertrand. Prince Murat also has it. It is needless to state that all these beds are the real and only authentic ones on which the great Corsican breathed his last.

VICTORIOUS JAPAN.

IT was the custom, years ago, for the Japanese ladies to gild their teeth.
 TERRA GOTTA sleepers are in use on Japan railroads. The increased cost is compensated for by the greater resist ance to decay.
 MIME. HIssA OHYAMA, wife of the Jap- anese minister at Vienna, has joined the Roman Catholic church, with her husbands consent.
 JAPANESE politeness translates into queer English. ''How is your honor able wife?" one gentleman will ask. T thank you, honorable sir, my dirty fool of wife is well" is the answer.
 TEE Japanese are now getting used to glass. At first the glass in railway car windows had to be smeared with streaks of white paint to keep passen- gers from poking their heads through it.
 GEN. SIR GARNET WoLsELEY says that one secret of the superiority of Japan's military system is that the profession of arms is held in high regard, while in China the lowest classes only are re- cruited into the army, and soldiers are rather looked down upon.

SUCCESSFUL DEAF MUTES.

There Are Nearly Thousand and They
 Have a Flourishing Club.
 MT. Mixes, whose remarkable skill in deciphering badly directed letters at the post office was referred to in the Chicago Tribune the other day, is one of colony of something like thou sand deaf mutes in Chicago, many of whom occupy important positions One of them is a lawyer of high standing, another is chemist and assayer of the National Smelling and Refining com pany, another is head bookkeeper in a wholesale grocery house, another is president of a land association. Be sides these the silent people" in Chi cago are scattered among the trades, including shoemaking, cabinet work wood carving, baking and typesetting, There are quite number of compos- itors, the majority of whom work on the weekly trade papers. Until the adoption of the typesetting machines the deaf mutes were weI represented among the morning papers, but now there is only one setting type on a morning paper and none on any of the evening papers. Heretofore large number of the pupils at the deaf and dumb institutions have learned the printing trade, but since typesetting machines have come into such general uss the authorities have discouraged entrance into this trade as much as possible, although it is one which pre- sents no obstacles to the deaf mute, as he is only required to exercise the fac ulty of seeing in order to do his work properly.
 The Chicago mutes have an organize tion known as the "Pas-a-Pas club" which has it's rooms in the building on the southeast corner of Clark and Ran dolph streets, occupying the entire fifth floor. The first steps toward the for nation of this organization were taken twelve.years ago at picnic of deaf mutes in Jackson park. The idea proved popular and the club has four ished ever since. Social and literary meetings are held regularly in the win tertime and pienics in the summer. Balls are given frequently. The most brilliant function of this character was that which took place at the Grand Pa sific hotel three years ago, where four hundred people were in attendance
