THE BLACK SLEEPS LENT
Beginning of the Week of Self
Denial by the Salvation
Army.
Queer Scenes and Incidents at the
Kearny.Street Meeting.Place of
Corps No. 2.

The Lenten season of the 'tChurch of
the Black Sheep" opened on Monday.
It will continue but week, but will be
characterized by two or more daily meet
ings and by genuine self-denial, for some
seemingly essential part of the frugal fare
of the Salvation Army soldier will be dis
pensed with, and the equivalent con-
tributed to the sum that will be sent to the
National headquarters at New York for the
furthering of the work of the organization.
Last year that amount reached $50, 600. and
it will in all probability much exceed that
figure this season.
There is no more active division of the
army in the City, nor indeed the State,
than Corps 2, with its indefatigable cap
tain, the ex-end man of travelling min
strel troupe, Captain HI. G. Steadman.
The Eieeting-plac of the corps, in the
basement hall at the northwest corner of
Sacramento and Kearny streets, is pop
ular place with the class for whom it was
designed. The captain greets every one
who enters, whether it be in the style of
locomotion intended by nature, or, as it
not infrequently happens, man makes
an unceremonious entry by falling down
stairs. In the latter case he is always
helped to his feet and escorted to a seat

Undue Influence Alleged to Have
Been Exerted by His
HouSekeeper.
CLAIM HE WAS WEAK.MINDED
Four Suits Transferred From San
Benito County to a San Jose
Court.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Nov. 12.-The papers
in four suits transferred from San Benito
County were filed in the Superior Court in
this county to-day. The suits involve the
title to about 100000 worth of property,
and are brought by Eliza Johnston, ad-
ministratrix of the estate of William Buck,
deceased, and in her own right, and James
A. Buck and f. Z. Buck against R. E.
Shore ct al, the same parties against w. J.
Brown ct al, Eliza Brown ct al. and Oracle
Sawyer ct al.
The complaints in the four cases are
substantially the same, and charge that
Oracle Sawyer, who acted as housekeeper
for William A. Buck, deceased, connived
with the other defendants and induced
Buck to convey to them 800 acres Of land.
1t is asserted that they exerted an in
huence over him that was undue, and
while he was mentally incapacitated took
him by train from San Benito to Santa
Rosa, in order to procure the services of
a notary who would attest the signatures
OF Buck. 1t is charged that attempts were
made TO have the execution of the deeds
acknowledged in San Benito, but no no.
tary would do it.
The deeds were made in December, 1892,
and the grantees took possession of the
lands the next month. The court is asked
TO set aside the deeds on the ground that
they were fraudulently obtained
William Buck, who was a wealthy bach
elor, died in Hollister in May, 1893, few
months after the deeds were executed.
The plaintiffs are his heirs.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Warren Rat
cliffe McVeigh and Paul Tupper Wilkes
fought duel with revolyers at short dis
tance on the Palisades at Fort Lee early
this morning. They were seconded by
Robert Radcliffe Owens and Frank Butler.
Both men were wounded.
The four young men engaged in the af-
fair OF honor are well known locally,
while three of them enjoy regulations that
might almost be called national. Mr..
McVeigh is newspaper man, a writer of
short stories and a leading member of
the Southern Society. Mr.. Wilkes is
famous throughout the West as the
slayer OF George Shepard, one of
the leaders of the Riel rebellion,
and his second, Frank Butler is a lecturer
of considerable renown, son of the late
Colonel George Butler, United States
Consul 10 Egypt, under President Grant.
No one except the principals themselves
knows the real cause of the duel. The
ostensible one was q quarrel resulting
from an argument that arose between Nc
Weigh and Wilkes while dining together
at the Astor House on Monday evening.

for quite as much as the vote OF the
member from the largest State
in the Union. Among the influential
members of the committee from the East
who are pledged to San Francisco are Fes-
senden of Connecticut Manley of Maine,
and most of the other New England men,
bers. Scott of West Virginia and num-
Der of Southern men have also promised
to support San Francisco,
The hustlers from the far west have Tor
some time had shrewd agents travelling
through the West and South quietly pledg-
ing members, and in this way appear to
have stolen a march upon their rivals.
When the committee meets next month
San Francisco will offer to carry all
the delegates to the coast tree ana Will
arrange for all other visitors at the low
rate of l cent mile. They Will promise
ample hotel accommodations at reduced
rates and will place IN the hands
of the National committee a sum OF
money sufficient to pay OH the IN
debtedness left over from the last
Presidential campaign. In addition to
this they will, of course, pay all the ex-
penses of the convention, the hotel bills
of the mem bers of the National Committee
and pledge themselves to send every one
home happy.
The transcontinental railways promise
to provide special trains that will run from
New York to San Francisco in four days
and from Chicago in three days, with such
arrangements that one may go out by one
route and return by another.
1t is known here that a number OF the
committeeman who are as yet unpledged
have given conditional promise to vote
for San Francisco if that City will guar
antee to provide telegraph facilities and
reduced and satisfactory tolls for press
dispatches.
Chicago and Pittsburg are San Fran
cisco's only rivals. Pittsburg has the ad-
vantage of Mr.. Quays great influence
with the committeeman and the support OF
the Mckinley element, the latter on ac-
count of the fact that the people of Pitts
burg are exceeding enthusiastic in their adj
Yocacy of the nomination of the Ohio
Governor. Mr.. Platt is implacably op-
opposed to both San Francisco and Pitts
burg, and is in favor of Chicago. AS be-
tween San Francisco and Pittsburg, he
fayors the latter city. If San Francisco
can get the Platt influence it will win the
convention.
Pittsburg is handicapped by admissions
made by her citizens to the effect that he1
hotel accommodations are inadequate.
So far as can be learned Mr.. PlatJ is the
only influential member of the committee
who is positive in his support of Chicago.
Mr.. Clarkson has announced his inten-
ton to vote for Chicago, if Chicago has
any chance, but his second choice is San
Francisco, if the telegraphic facilities and
tolls are made satisfactory there.

Preparing for a Sound Money Plank in
the Platform.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 12.-Chair-
man Harrity of the National Democratic
Committee, who has been in Washing ton
for several days, said 80 an intimate friend
tonight that it was altogether probable
that the Democratic National Convention
next year would be held in New York City
Chairman Harrity has been in conference
with President Cleveland and administra-
ton officials generally. and the time and
place of holding the convention have been
carefully considered. 1t is the desire of
Mr.. Cleveland and his official family that
sound money plank shall be prominent
feature of the National platform, and they
believe that the influences in New Y York will
tend to bring about the adoption of such a
plank more certainly than these of any
other city.
Mr.. Harrity also said that the Demo-
| cratic convention would certainly he held
after the Republican convention and that
the campaign would be made as short as it
could be, time enough only being taken to
perform the work necessarily involved in
National canvass.
