WAS HE MURDERED ?
Theory Advanced That Daniel Carrolps
Death Was Something More Than
Accident or Suicide.

A theory of probable murder has been
advanced to explain the death by aspyhxi-
alton of the young miner at the California
House, 62S California street, late Tuesday
afternoon.
His body was identified positively at the
Morgue Yesterday morning by two ac-
quaintances, James Haley and John
Welsh, both miners, as that of Daniel Car
roll of Tulare, Cal. Haley and WEIGH
stop at the st. George House on Kearny
street. Haley and Carroll lived formerly
at San Luis Obispo. and there Carroll wife
died. Carroll was recently employed
in the Long Tom mine near Bakersfield.
the idea of murder Is suggested by the
fact known to the two men that four days
ago Carroll had $3.50 in his possession when
, he arrived in the City, and that he had
not drunk any liquor for eight months
He registered at the California House
Tuesday morning, with woman, as John
Smith and lady" When the woman left
no one knows, but the door of his room
was broken in and he was discovered lying
, dead upon the bed both gas jets had been
turned on and were flowing with full force.
Nc money was found on him then, though
his watch and ring were still in his mock

Purser Bendall of the Oceanic Steamship
Company's steamer Monowai broughta Gu
rlosity with him on the last trip. It is not
only curiosity but an experiment, and
by it the Australians hope to revolutionize
the export trade of their country.
The article in question is sap, or gum.
that eXudes from one of the class of trees
that is prolific in Australia, and when it is
carefully applied to fruit or meat it pre-
serves them for an indefinite time.
Experiments tried in Sydney during the
extremes of summer and winter proved
that the new process was a success.
A further test was demanded, however,
so some oranges, loquats and passion fruit
were painted with the gum and placed in
a box on October % last. The box was
given b. B. Bendal}. purser of the Mono
wal with instructions TO deliver it to the
captain on the arrival of the steamer at
San Francisco. No particular care was
taken of the parcel and it passed through
all the heat and humidity of the tropics
among the other parcels piled in the pur-
ser's cabin.
1t was only yesterday that the box was
opened and then it was found that the
fruit was apparently as good as the day it
left Sydney. The oranges were juicy and
sweet, the loquats had retained their
flavor, but the passion fruit was not up to
the mark. The pulp had in measure
dried up, and while the fruit was sound, it
would never command price in foreign
market.
Apart from the preserving of fruit, how.
ever, the Australians assert that the gum
from their indigenous tree will preserve
beef and mutton. According to the stories
told by the officers of the Monowai it is
carefully spread over anything perishable
and that ends the matter. The article in
question so treated can never decay as nc
air can reach it.

BROKEN CONTRACT.
j. Q. Adams, the Coal Handler, Wants
100000 From Two Big
Companies.

The suit of John Quincy Adams against
the Southern Pacific Company and the
Pacific improvement Company came be-
fore Judge Daingerfield yesterday. The
action is to recover 1907 900 claimed to be
due on an unfulflled contract.
On January L. 1893, Adams secured FIVE.
year contract from the Southern Pacific
and the Pacific Improvement Company to
handle all their coal upon the wharves of
this City and Oakland for II cents ton.
Adams was to build the bunkers and fur
nish all the machinery. On July 1, 1898,
the two companies rescinded the contract,
claiming that Adams had not complied
with his agreements; that he had not
furnished sufficient bunker room and had
not enough machinery to properly handle
the coal. Adams is now suing for the
amount he would have made in the four
and a half years which his contract has
still to run.

"HURLY-BURLY."
An Evening of Merriment at the
Grand Opera House.

If the ultimate success of a play is
decided by the enthusiasm it arouses
on a first night, the future of Hurry
management of the Grand Opera
house any Qualms of nervousness on
this score. Few of the previous pre-
sensations by this company have pro-
Voked so much irrepressible merri-
ment and bursts of applause as this
most amusing comedy Of last even
ing. AS the case is with most light
comedies. so it is with this. that the
plot is of inf1nitesimal dimensions; but
when the dialogue is sparkling and
the situations more than comical, as
they are in THE Hurry Burly." why
plot is something that never would be
missed. Before starting to review the
different characterizations given last
night by the several members of the
Opera House stock company. we would
like to offer a word of congratulation
to Mr.. Cecil livingstone. His last two
efforts, from a dramatic point of view,
have been decidedly pleasing. His
Brisket, in Pink Dominoes," was
creditable. His DR.. Winklebury. in
Hurry Burly' was a revelation. sAt
the risk of not only appearing but be-
ing unoriginal, we cannot help but
OF 1t. His makeup, although repul-
sive, was good. His denunciation of
newspaper critics in the second act
was delivered with an unwonted fire
and energy. In fact, he spoke as one
who could a tale unfold" His enun-
citation still remains to him, his one
distinctly poor possession. Mr.. I. r.
OMalley was heartily received by the
audience His part of an old country
gentleman, young at heart and one
of the boys, is one in which Harry
Corson Clarke would have won fresh
laurels. In the hands of Mr.. O'Malley
it was a careful and conscientious
characterization, but hardly as innately
humorous as it would have been with
Mr.. Clarke in the same role. Hugn
Ward, as Signor Tamburini, and Flor
ida Kingsley, as Minna, the house
maid, gave an extremely talry-nke
dance in the second act, which took
the fancy of the audience by storm.
In this character we are almost
tempted to believe that MI. Waro
is worked by wires. so springy is ms
every movement. Victory batenlan

ties as Rosa Larkins which she GER

THE REMENYI CONCERT.
Splendid Entertainment at the First
Congregational Church Last
Night.

no hear one OF the worlds great
violinists play on an $4,000 Stradivar-
ius. a number of music lovers attend
ed the First Congregational church
last evening. Edouard Remenyi has
been before the public for so many
years that it seems a late day to pass
Judgment on his playing. for he has
made a place for himself among the
famous musicians of the past quarter
of a century and has received I'm
bounded praise from critics OF reputa-
ton for maEy years. This does not
deter US from expressing the belief
that, notwithstanding his great ac-
complishments, the purity of his style
and the quality of his renditions are
not beyond criticism. He has enornl-
Gus power, and his lifelong experience
as a virtuoso has given him wonderful
mastery over his splendid instrument.
He Is often brilliant and often exceed
ingly delicate, but in tuneful quality,
been far excelled by other masters who
have played in this city. Not that he
is cold-far from it-for some of the
passages in his own wonderful Fan
tasia on the Huguenots" and in the
Hungarian Pastorale" were given
with an abundance of fire and spirit.
but there was scarcely a moment
when he touched ones heart with any
sense of tenderness or poetry. On the
contrary, the pathos of "Swanee
River and the Last Rose Of Sum-
mer'' became. bathos under his hand.
If he had the laudable purpose of
striving to eliminate those time-worn
numbers from concert programmes,
he succeeded admirably.
The celebrated violinist was "as-
sisted by Mr.. Henry Eames, who
rendered number of selections on the
piano, and by Miss Pauline Stein,
soprano. Mr. Eames is certainly a
talented pianist. though even his first
number LIFTS ''Rhapsodie Hon
groise' lacked tunefulness. After that.
however, everything was beautifully
performed with the possible exception
of the "Etude"-Kullak which depends
entirely on precision for success and in
this it was not perfect. The 'iMinuet''
and Album Leaf were superbly
rendered Miss Stein is a charming
singer, with pure, sweet voice and
great delicacy of expression. The
song. I'm Summer was the gem of
the evening.
The concert will be repeated tonight.

must be supported by the taxes of a peo-
pie already taxed to the limit OF endu-
rance.
Let US test this thing thoroughly. If the
Republican party insists on leaving the
organic act of the new state in a condi-
ton which will permit the spoliation of
the people in the interests of money-lend-
ers or capitalists or aggregate wealth, let
them assume the responsibility.
Let it also be understood that the boun-
ties are not only against justice. but that
1t is crime against common sense to
take money under the plea that 1t will
benefit the people and put it into an en-
terprise where it will be destroyed. You
might just as well take the money and
throw it into the lake, or build bonfire
and burn it up. The result is the same

BLUE CHURCH BALL.
The Attendance Was Poor and the
Proceedings PointIess.


The conglomeration of Tom fooleries
that was perpetrated last night at the
theatre under the name of the Blue
Church ball was not attended by
very large crowd either of partici-
pators or on lockers. The Blue Church
is becoming, or has become chestnut.
there does not appear to be enough
talent among the leaders to give the
proceedings even a show of originality
or to put a point on the supposed
jokes or bon motS.
The proceedings opened with dano-
ing to music furnished by Held's band.
Most of the dancers were men dressed
in fantastic ladies' costumes and
wearing masks, although few women
participated. AS an interlude to the
dancing a candidate for initiation was
found and dressed up in a many
colored suit somewhat like a clown in
a circus, he was put through a number
Of so called ceremonies, but there was
no fun in the proceedings and the
whole thing fell fat, failing to do more
than cause a laugh here and there
among the spectators. After the initia-
tons dancing was resumed in a
languid manner for an hour or so and
by 1 o'clock the house was empty.
