MEXICAN VETERANS DAY,
An Effort to Make Its CeIebra-
bration a Grand Public
Event.
Flags VIII Fly and the Old Soldiers
of This City VIII Banquet
Together.

Tomorrow evening the Associated Vet
Grams of the Mexican War in this City will
have big banquet in the California Hotel.
1t is the forty-eighth anniversary of the
day when under Scott they marched into
the captured City of Mexico, and they are
going to celebrate it in fitting ceremony.
September IA has always been the Mex
lean Veterans day. On each anniversary
the veterans have gathered quietly in their
meeting-room and fought over again the
battles of AT and AS.
This year the veterans have determined
for once to make public the celebration of
their anniversary before 1t was too late.
There will not be many at the dinner
Only few of those in the City are still
able to be out late enough for banquet
which does honor to so noteworthy an an
niversary, but there will be hundr red any
way of the veterans and their friends.
President Dodge of the Board of Educa-
ton has agreed to notify the janitors to
have up the flag on every schoolhouse.
The downtown business houses have also
promised to lave the colors floating from
their buildings, and the exchanges are to
have their bunting as high as it will 60.
So far the menu for the banquet has not
been printed, but that it will be a sumptu-
GUS one is assured. There will be num-
Der of toasts, and to end it all General
Barnes has promised to speak on "The
Day We Celebrate" It may be the last
that many of the veterans will see, and
the toast will be one which will linger in
the minds of every one of the old guard
those at the table as well as those who
cannot be with their comrades.

THE OLYMPIC WRESTLING,
Members Took but Little In
tereSt in the Tourna-
ment.
Graco-Roman WreStlerS Who Won
Prizes at the Game of Catch
aS-Catch-Can.

Although toIerably good attendance OF
ladies witnessed the Olympic Clubs wrest-
ling tournament last evening, it was
noticed that the gathering Of members was
very slim.
Wrestling contests have been gradually
declining in interest ever since Professor
]. Faulkner left the club. The present in
structor, George Miehling, is acknowledged
to be well up in the art of Gr@co-Roman
wrestling, but whatever knowledge he
possesses of catch-as-catch-can he derived
from the instructions he received from
such clever opponents OF the game as
Eugene Van Court, Eddie Kolb. Al Lean
and Gus Ungerman. His pupils are well
versed in a few holds, which they invari-
ably rely upon to win in tournaments or
special match contests that are governed
by catch-as-catch-can rules.
Of the three representatives OF
the Acme Athletic Club of Oakland
who contested against Olympic CLUB
members last evening two OF them
won very decisive victories, and, as a
consequence, Professor Al Lean is a very
happy individual The following is re-
suit of the tournament of last evening
E. P. Armbruster of the Olympic Club
was defeated by Gus La Rue of the Acme
Club of Oakland, best two out of three
falls. Armbruster won the first fall in
minutes, and La Rue won the second and
third falls in minutes Ii seconds and
min utes 81 seconds, respectively.
H. T. Butler of the Olympic Club de-
feated T. K. Code of the Olympic Club in
two straight falls. Under a frst-class in
structor Butler would turn out to be a
tirst-class wrestler.
L. II. Fentress of the Olympic defeated
f. w. Kohler of the Acme Club in two
straight falls, both of which he won by
suddenly catching his opponent and
pitching him on his back.
]. G. Williamson of the Acme Club
threw A. Brill of the Olympic Club twice,
the first fall in min. SO sec. and the Sec
ond fall in 4 min. Ii sec.
The final event was meeting of the
heavy-weights f. V. Kington of the Olym-
pic Club and NJ. Marich of the San Fran
cisco Athletic Club. Both men were slow
and awkward. Kington won in two
straight falls. Itwas noticed that during the
contests the wrestlers did at not any time
use their neither limbs when opportunities
offered to bring them into great play. The
interest manifested in the tournament was
certainly very tame compared to what it
has been in the days when Faulkner had
his pupils tuned up for action. H. B. Ora
ham acted as referee.

THE DANGEROUS TROLLEY,
One of the Wires Snapped on
Kearny Street and Killed
a Horse.
A Boy In the Wagon Was Also
Seriously Burnt and May Be
Injured for Life.

There was thrilling accident on Kearny
street yesterday and it was only by the
merest chance that it did not result in
the death of a driver. AS it was horse
was killed by falling trolley wire and
boy was badly burned about the legs and
hands.
The electric current was so powerful that
it lifted the horse three feet from the
ground and burned the flesh terribly.
"Joe" Schanzer of Schanzer & Pursell,
wholesale dealers in milk, was driving
from the ferries out to the Western Addi-
ton on his way to the stable. Turning into
kearny street the driver waited for troll
ley-car to pass and then got into the track
behind. All went well for a block and
then suddenly there was snap and the
overhead wire broke. 1t curled around
the horse like a snake and some of the
coils struck the man and boy in the wagon.
The flesh on the horses breast was burned
until smoke came from 1t and the animal
fell down paralyzed. The wire burned
through the boys trousers and scared his
legs, while another coil fell between his
legs and burned him again.
The man was enveloped in long, black
rubber overcoat which was wet with the
rain. More coils got around him than
either the boy or horse, but the rubber
acted as non-conductor and he escaped
without injury. The horse was taken out
to 1913 Pierce street, where the SchanZer
& Pursell dairy is located, in the hopes
that its life might be saved, but it died an
hour after it was got into the stable. The
boy was taken home and his wounds
dressed. He is now doing as well as can
be expected.
The whole thing happened so sud-
denly" said Mr.. Schanzer when speaking
about the accident, that none of us knew
for few moments what had struck US.
The current was so strong that it lifted the
horse clean off his feet, and it is wonder
to me that he was not killed outright. IL
looked ridiculous to see that little bit of
wire lifting a thousand-pound horse as
easily as | would raise an ounce weight.
Harry Edwards, the boy who was
in the wagon, yelled when the wire
burned him, but after that he said there
was very little pain. 1t was after the wire
was removed that it hurt him. Then
there was a mum bness all over him, and
he has been suffering ever since from dart
ing pains in his limbs.
at was an accident, of course, but one
that the Market-street cable system is re-
sponsible for. The wire must have been
defective in the first place, as it would
never have snapped so suddenly"
The accident will probably result in
suit for damages.

rested that sale and separation. Language
could but feebly express the scene
which followed. / watched the fea-
lures which were but a moment be-
fore radiant with joyous contentment,
electrically changing to despair more and
more pronounced as the barter and sale
was being consummated which would for
ever separate them. I could not at the
last observe the conduct of the one pur-
chased, it having been removed under
cover, but the emotional demonstrations
by the remaining one were touching to
painful degree. Even the strong iron bars
which framed the cage were taxed by the
animals furious efforts.
Three days subsequent to this my in.
terest in behalf of the deserted one
prompted me to again visit the place. The
swinging "trapeze," which had Contributed
so abundantly to the enjoyment of the
little couple, remained motionless. Food
and fruits of delicate and tempting flavor
were untouched, but crouched in corner
of the cage was the emaciated form of the
mourner, almost ifeless, crushed by the
burden of despair.

will be consumed in taking the evidence

Attorney Barnes expects, however, to
make much better progress hereafter, at
least he hopes to as only few minutes he
believes will be required to examine many
OF the remaining witnesses.
One point in the testimony already TAX
en- which the defense will take advantage
OF when 1t comes to prove that Durrant
could not have carried the body of Blanche
Lamont up to the belfry is the testimony
OF the witness Charleton, who testified yes
terdav to having weighed the two sisters
on the 18th or 18th of March.
Maud Lamont once stated in an inter
view that she and her sister were not
weighed at Charletons store for month
previous to the murder. Miss Maud stated
IN that interview that at the time Blanche
was weighed last her weight was III
pounds: 1t is expected the defense Will
recall Maud Lamont to testify on this
point when the proper time comes.

THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.
So Far One Hundred and Thirty
five Women Have Been Vic
tins OF the Rumor.

The prosecution in the Durrant case has
given up the hope of finding the "mys-
terious woman" and no longer believes
that there is such a person, although new
rumors as to her identity or her where
abouts are from time to time given to the
police. In each instance they are run
down by the detectives, who have thus far
proven in every case that there was no
foundation for the story.
In to the present time rumors of 135
women, by actual count, have been inves-
tigated, with the result stated. 1t is this
fact that has brought the police and the
District Attorney to the conclusion that
the mysterious woman is a myth.
When the trial is resumed Monday the
prosecution will put Miss Lannigan on the
stand to corroborate the testimony of Miss
Edwards and Mrs, Dorgan, who testified
yesterday to seeing Durrant and Blanche
Lamont together on a Powell-street car on
the way from the Normal School on the
afternoon of April 3.
Mrs. Vogel will then be called to testify
to seeing Durrant in front of the Normal
School that fatal afternoon, and then the
journey across the City will be taken up.
Thus far the prosecution will have shown
that Durrant and Blanche Lamont
were together on that Journey as
far as the corner of Market and
Powell streets, but there the chain
of circumstantial evidence is broken. The
prosecution has no witness who saw the
couple together between that point and the
corner of Twenty and Bartlett streets,
where Martin Quinlan saw them. But
taking Mr.. QuInlan's statement that he
saw the two young people coming from the
direction of Valencia street, the prosecu-
ton will act on the hypothesis that Dur
rant and Miss Lamont rode between the
two points on the Valencla-street car,
that being the line to which their transfers
from Powell would take them,
The real fight is expected when the test1-
mony of Mrs. Leak is taken, for most
rigid test of her eyesight is expected to be
made by the defense.
Six DAYS have thus far been consumed in
the taking of testimony for the prosecu-
ton, and twelve witnesses have been ex-
amined. The State has thirtY-six more
witnesses to call. 1t Will therefore be seen
that if no better rate of progress is made
than has characterized the first six days
of taking testimony eighteen days more

Nothing Could Make Him Happy Again

There was until very recently in one of
the many city establishments in which
small animals and birds are sold pair of
monkeys of remarkable intelligence. From
their prison stage and cage they enter
tanned large audiences of spectators as ac-
robats, asserts the New York Herald. The
endearing affection which they cherished
for each other was an example for some
domestic circles of to-day. Their consid-
Grafton one for the other was most pro-

to give the railroad company chance, but
Mr.. La Rue desired further time though
he thought a week was unnecessarily long.
One day was long enough for him. Not
withstanding Mr.. Clark wanted the whole
matter postponed, he reiterated that he
had made up his mind thoroughly, and
could not vote on the general-reductlon
portion of the substitute.
Mr.. La Rue said he had met an attorney,
very close friend of his, who had sug-
gested that he use care in voting on this
question, and he did not want to do any
thing that would hamper them in their
work. He did not want TO be placed in a
position where he might do an injustice,
and he was aware that there might be a
legal proposition to be avoided, though he
did not know that there was one.
La Rue-H there is no objection the matter
will be postponed till tomorrow at 1 o'clock
P. NJ.
Clark am in favor of that or of taking it
up now.
stanton-There is nothing to prevent one
from acting fairly. 1t provides for a regula-
lation OF the determinations.
La Rue-But we must make the reduction of
IS per cent, whether right or wrong.
Stanton-No, 1t is not to be reduced regard
less of whether it is right or wrong. If we had
received the classification figures from the
Southern Pacific we might better adjust the
Determinations. But we have not those
mately. Our investigation may show that
grain would be entitled to higher percentage
than given. If so l am prepared to vote on it
and give 1t the proper percentage and such
further reductions as we find necessary and
right. But I am in favor of doing something
for the general shippers.
There was some further discussion on
the same lines, and Mr.. Clark thought
if they could not agree they might as well
adjourn, and the chairman put the mo-
ton to adjourn, he and Mr.. Clark voting
for it and DIR. Stanton against And the
meeting stood adjourned till l o'clock
this afternoon.
