wish. / thought it was my duty"
With these words Jacob Jackson stood
at the open grave of his departed wife
down at the Jewish cemetery at Sholim
yesterday and babe farewell to the help
mate of his declining years in an agony of
despair.
Mrs. Jackson died in a Pullman car
while coming from New York to San Fran
cisco with her husband and son, and when
their train arrived at the Oakland mole
Coroner Crane of Alameda County took
charge of the remains and held an inquest
thereon. Late Monday evening last, when
the Coroner's jury had rendered its YER
dict of 'death from palpitation of the
heart" the remains were taken charge of
by Undertaken Charles Metzler and
brought to this city for burial. The
funeral took place at Sholim Cemetery
yesterday afternoon and the funeral SER
mon was delivered by Rabbi M. S. Levy.
Witnesses who testified at the inquest
over the body of the unfortunate woman
were very positive in their contention that
Mrs. Jackson had been dead several days
when the train arrived at Oakland; and
Jackson and his son, A. V. Jackson, were
equally positive when they testified that
Mrs. Jackson had died the same day they
reached their destination. The most rea-
sonable theory at first seemed to be that
Jackson and his son had resorted to deceit
and falsehood to avoid the unavoidable ex-
pense which would attend taking the body
from the train for burial and possibly for
an inquest.
But Rabbi Levy lifted the veil of secrecy
and disclosed the narrowing details of
story which onlN immeasurable devotion
can account for.
"Who can fathom the love of that father
and that son who sat beside the wife and
mother for four days while her eyes saw
and her lips spoke not? Who can say this
man committed any sin against God or
crime against society when he disguised
his feelings with a smile and laughed at
his questioners when they voiced their
conviction that his dear wife was beyond
earthly care. Little did this small world,
which revolved around them with ques-
tioning gaze each day, imagine that the
when they set out from New York, that
they would see that consecrated Jewish
ground held her form, even though she
passed away on her journey.
"The psalmist has said The Lord is my
rock perfect in every good work Let
this be your consolation. Let friends re-
member the injunction in the Talmud.
Bless God for the good and the bad
These days which seemed years to the de-
voted watchers beside the dead, these vol
ume of misery which was open to them
every moment of the horrible journey,
have more good than bad in them and
God, who knows all things, will forgive
them their disregard of law because of
their faithfulness.n
When the rabbi finished the father and
son tossed some earth into the open grave
and murmured ''May she rest in peace, +"
and friends knew that love unto and after
death is still beauteous reality.

certified copy of it in the County Clerk $
office. There are some facts connected
with the original will which called for a
searching investigation by the court.
at is customary in voluminous wills OF
this kind for the testator to sign each page
as a precaution against substitution OF
pages after death. In case where will
is entirely Photographic of course this pre-
caution of signing each page IS not neces-
sary.
"Of course there will have to be a search
ing investigation, first for the purpose OF
locating the missing will, if possible, and
if this fails, to ascertain who is at the bot
tom of this matter and for what purpose
the instrument was stolen. 1t has not yet
been decided that the purlolned document
was the last will of deceased.
81 don't believe the will has been stolen
for the purpose of forgery. The entire
document is in Attorney Persons hand
writing and he alone could reproduce a
similar one"
Charles L. Fair called at Mr.. Knights
Office yesterday afternoon. He seemed as
much puzzled over the purloining of the
will as his attorney.

LADIES ARE INTERESTED.
Large Gathering at the Pure Food
Exposition.
Mrs. Lincoln's Inaugural Lecture and
Demonstrations on Cookery Greatly
Appreciated.

The Pure Food Exposition at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion seems to have caught
the popular fancy. Yesterday afternoon
and last evening the attendance was far in
excess of what was anticipated.
The great attraction in the afternoon
was the inaugural lecture of the series to
be given by Mrs. Mary J. Lincoln, first
principal of the Boston Cooking School
assisted by Mrs. J. H. Lee in the laying Of
the table and serving of food. 1t was
estimated that over 1000 ladies were pres
ent at the lecture. Mrs. Lincoln took fol
her subject, Observation-Disclosures, Fruit
Cereals, Coffee, Chops, Lyonnaise Pota-
toes, Dreamed Eggs, Bacon, Toast" She
gave practical demonstration of the cook
ing of the dishes, while Mrs. Lee, in the
apartment prepared for the purpose
showed how the table should be laid and
the dishes served. The lecture commenced
at 3 o'clock and was not concluded till a
quarter past 4. The ladies were delighted
with what they saw and heard. In future
the lectures will commence at O'Clock.
The exhibits are nearly all in their places
now and everything is in splendid running
order. Casassa's band played choice Sc
lections during the afternoon and evening
and the living pictures on local subjects in
the evening were very entertaining.
President Harrington was gratified yes
terday to receive letter from one of the
leading firms in the city that they had
changed their minds and would gladly
send an exhibit if there was space. They
had not believed such an exposition would
prove a success, but after seeing the dis.
play on Monday evening they were con.
WINGED to the contrary.

successful attempt had been made to get
the little craft off the ways on Monday,
but before her keel had been submerged
in the surf she struck a sand-drift and
stopped. The sand had lodged between
the ways during the storm on Sunday.
1t was found necessary to abandon the
launching until a rise of the tide in the
afternoon. Meanwhile the sand had been
dug out and the ways given fresh coating
of grease. Then the yacht was started
again, and without further mishap glided
gracefully into the sea. She is a pretty
picture floating in the bay off the house
of the Pacific Yacht Club.
The new yacht is type of modern ma
rine architecture, resembling somewhat in
her lines the Vigilant. The plans were
drawn by the owner, F. R: Cook, and were
Lanteri. Her length over all is 48 feet;
waterline, 50 feet; overhang, forward
feet, and aft feet; length of keel, Is feet.
She will draws13 feet of water when her
center-board is down. The center-board is
of steel, weighing 900 pounds. The keel is
of iron, weighing 400 pounds. The yacht
will carry a cement ballast of six tons. She
Will be cutter-rigged. Her interior furnish
ings are not yet complete, but they will be

the craft.
There is a diversity of opinion as to
what she will do as racer, but her owners
look forward confidently to her doing some
crack work this summer. She will sail
under the flag of the Corinthian Yacht
Club.
The yacht Ripple will be hauled up on
the ways to-day, and work will at once be-
gin on her. She Will undergo thorough
overhauling, SO as to be in readiness for
fhe opening of the yachting season.

PEARSONS WILL SETTLED.
Judge COffey Orders the Estate
Distributed.
FiVe.Gzths Of the Inherited Property
Goes to the Wheeler and
Valentine Heirs.

The Pearsons will case, which has
been pending before Judge Coffey, has
been finally decided and as far as the SUI
perior Court is concerned, it is settled.
Judge Coffey has granted petition from
Mr.. Boone, attorney for the Valentines and
Wheelers, cousins of the testator, that all
property which descended to Hiram Ar
thur Pearsons from his father be divided
among the descendants of Mrs. Lucy A.
Valentine and Mrs. Clarissa P. Wheeler,
and that all property bequeathed to the
testator from his mother, Ann Charity
Pearsons (nee Mathewson) be divided
among the five Mathewson claimants, or
their representatives.
Hiram Arthur Pearsons was the son of
Hiram Pearsons, whose father was Parker
Pearsons. Parker Pearsons married first
Emma Bartlett, and after her death he
married her sister, Polly Bartlett. Mrs.
Lucy A. Valentine was the daughter of
Emma Pearsons and Mrs. Clarissa Wheeler
and Hiram Pearsons, the testator's father,
were children of Polly Pearsons. Hiram
Pearsons married Ann Charity Mathew
son. and the testator was the issue of this
marriage. Ann Mathewson had five
brothers and sisters, and their representa-
tives constitute the Mathewson claimants.
Mrs. Valentine and Mrs. Wheeler, aunts
of the testator, were his nearest relatives
on his fathers side, and they, or as they
are now dead, their heirs-at-law, will re-
ceive all the property acquired by the tes-
tator from their common ancestor, Hiram
Pearsons. This amounted to about five
sixths of the inherited estate. On the other
hand the brothers and sisters of Ann
Charity Mathewson were his nearest kin
on his mothers side, and they will receive
the remaining one-sixth, which came to
the testator from his mother. The prop
erty which Pearsons HIMSELF acquired dur
ing his life will be divided into seven equal
heirs. Where one of these original heirs is
dead his or her share will be divided
among the heirs of the deceased heir.

explained away, but until it should be, it
was very material that the paper should
remain on file and Just in the condition in
which it was filed.
1.-THE will was written on several sheets
of legal cap paper, the first five sheets of
which bore the water mark Ledger Paper
Company. These sheets contained all
that is of vital interest to the girls, our
clients, while the other sheets, strange to
say, did not bear such water marks. Upon
the thirteenth page was the signature of
Fair, with the information that the
subscriber chad hereunto and at the foot
of the preceding thirteen pages set my
hand this 21st day of September, 1894.
Now, there were not any thirteen preced-
ing and there was no evidence that on any
preceding page he had set his hand. This
we consider very singular, to say the least,
and we kept it a dead secret, as we in
tended to use this in future proceedings.
"Our side, you can see, was interested in
preserving the will that was filed. What
motives others may have had we have our
opinions, but that its disappearance will
destroy the effect of the will is not for a
moment to be entertained. There are in
existence certified copy of the will in the
Office of the County Clerk, one in the hands
of the executors, and each OF the attorneys
has one.
SAT the investigation held this morning
it was ascertained that four men in the
County Clerks office have access to the
vault in which the wills and bonds are
kept These are the County Clerk, his
brother, Deputy Whitesides and Deputy
Heileman.
"On Friday, so Deputy Whitesides de-
clared, a tall man wearing full heavy
blonde whiskers, and attired IN a long over
coat, called for the Fair will which was
shown him, and after he returned it he
started to go away when he was called
back and given receipt, which according
to the stub book was signed by w. H.
Davis.

ROUNDING UP MIGRANTS.
Police Arresting the Notorious Clara.
Street Gang.

Police Arresting the Notorious Clara
Street Gang.
The recent depredations of the Clara
street gang of hoodlums caused Police
Sergeant Hanna to declare war of ex-
termination against the miscreants. Po-
licemen Tobin and Clancy, who know all
the crooks south of Market street, and
their records, donned citizens clothing
last night under instructions of the SER
geant and went forth against the gang.
The result was the capture of as notori-
Gus gang of criminals as there is now out
side penitentiary walls. Each of the crowd
had been arrested from one to five times
previously by Tobin and Clancy, to say
nothing of the times they had served the
State upon other arrests and convictions.
The first of the crooks taken in was
Charles Bradley, who has several aliases
He resisted the officers and fought vi
ciously. Clubs were brought into requisi-
ton and in few seconds he was case for
the Receiving Hospital. After few scalp
wounds were sewed up he was given the
freedom of a cell and a charge of vagrancy
was made against him.
The, same charge is to be preferred
against all of those taken in, as it seems to
larceny dc, even when the prisoner is
caught IN the act.
James Kellerher, known as the right
bower OF the gang, has been convicted of
| several offenses, and so have his chums,
John Moran and Michael Holden.
These were arrested in the order named,
and submitted with simple protests, but
when Terrence McCabe was invited to
walk to the Southern police station he
loudly protested and squared off to 'give
de cops rattle"
Terry struck at Tobin first, but that
officer was not asleep. He countered with
club, and the blow caused Terry to wall
for mercy. One or two more taps and he
was handcuffed, but, like Bradley was in
need of few stitches of the scalp.
Martin Collins, alias "Split-ip' Collins,
had been arrested for highway robbery,
and escaped conviction, together with John
O'Brien, alias "Brocky." They were taken
in at Fifth and Clara streets, their strong
hold. 0'Brien was convicted of obtaining
money by false pretenses a week ago. but
received only twenty -four hours in Jail.
