when la grippe is abroad in the land that
IN a body of four singers one at least
would not be ''out of the combat, as the
French express it. Miss Beatrice Priest,
the hrst soprano of the quartet, was a
vlctlm last night to the prevailing malady,
ably taken at short notice by Mrs. Bruno.
The other ladies who composed the new
organization were Mrs. A. M. Noble, Miss
Jeanette Wilcox and Mrs. J. E. Birmlng-
ham.
The singing of the Treble Clef Quartet
proved to be pleasant and artistic. The
voices were, on the whole, well balanced,
the intonation was good and the shading
was delicate and finished; in fact, the
singing was of that pretty lyric kind which
always commends itself to an audience. 1t
is style OF singing that is heard at Its
best, however, when unaccompanled, ana
on that account 1.-THE Donkey Cart, by
Theodore Bonheur, was the most charming
selection rendered. All the other numbers
were accompanied. Among them were
Memberships 'Ride of the Elves" the
same composers ''Slumber Song" and an
arrangement for four voices OF Sull1van's
Lost Chord"
The performer who won the most enthu-
slastlc applause was Miss Alice Ames, the
young San Francisco violinist, who proba-
bly, made her last public appearance before
going to study in Berlin. Miss Ames' per-
ttormance was a surprise to most of her
hearers. She showed her command over a
legato style Of playing in Massenet's med
ltatlon, "Thais, which she rendered with
considerable sentiment. In Sarasate's
'Zigeunerweisen" the young violinist gave
proof of surprising care OF technique as
well as of verve and brilliancy. There were
cries of bravo" mixed with the enthu-
siastic applause with which an encore was
demanded
Another successful performer was Mrs.
Bruno, whose songs deserved all the APP
plause they received.
Mrs. A. NJ. Noble gave a distinctly orig
inal rendering to Mozart's "Voi che
sapete," and one that made the most
hardened opera-goer wonder whether it
was indeed the dashing pages aria that
was being sung, or dirge from requiem
mass. Mrs. Noble is doubtless more used
to interpreting church music than operate
arias, but it was a surprise to hear the
style of the sanctuary infused into any
thing SO thoroughly connected with the
footlights as "Voi che ssapete." The
French chanson which she gave as an en-
core showed good deal more sympathy
for the spirit of her song.
Mrs. J.. f. Birmingham sang couple of
selections, receiving an encore, and Miss
Ada Weigel, the pianoforte soloist was
a very welcome addition to the attraction
of the concert. M E

Two Ministers Whose Views Have Excited
Comment.

comment
Rev. II. A. Haweis has departed, but in
the mouths of the orthodox his views on
certain scriptural subjects still taste bitter.
Yesterday the Congregational Monday
Club listened to paper on "Misrepresen-
tations of Moses" by Rev. A. K. Crawford.
IN which the English clergyman's opinions
on the lawgiver, as we'll as those of Bob
lngersoll, were com bated.
In the discussion which followed various
opinions were expressed. Some of the
brethren stated that while they objected to
criticizing Mr.. Haweis after he was no
longer present to defend himself, they
could not indorse his opinions on the Old
Testament. Rev. w. Tubbs said: ''The
applause Mr.. Haweis received when he
spoke on Moses seemed to me a severe
critique upon the spirituality of the
brethren present"
Other ministers, however, did not disap-
prove OF DR.. Haweis' views. Rev. w
RAIDER said that in the main his opinions
were In line with progressive orthodoxy,
and Rev. A. II. Smith declared: Sooner
or later we have got to come to that"
Ira ID. Rankin, the chairman, gave his
opinion that ''for minister to claim too
much for the infallibility of the Bible is to
expose ourselves to the attacks of skeptics,
who can show the mistakes of our pre-
tensions"
Rev. pr. Brown stated his intention of
reading paper at a later meeting to COM
bat the statement that Rev. DR.. Heron
can be considered representative Congre-
gationalist. When the club had carefully
considered the matter, he was sure that
the ministers present would not indorse a
man of such dangerous views. 1t was de-
clded to defer an expression of the opinion
OF the meeting with regard to DIR. Heron.

Savonarola and other literary and his
toric characters for the simple preaching
of the Gospel from the pulpits of the
churches. 1t was also stated that the
young men of California needed to be
aroused to an interest in ministerial work,
as very few of the sons of the Golden West
were to be found laboring in the minis
terial vineyard. Rev. DR.. Minton said,
however, that while it was well to interest
young men in taking holy orders, he did
not believe in making the way of the di-
vinity student too smooth and easy for
him. Rich Eastern universities helped
Would-be ministers too literally 1.-The
men with softened muscles, softened
hearts and softened heads are not the sort
of men we want in the ministry" he
added.
Next Monday Rev. R. F. Coyle OF Oak
land will read a paper on "a Triumphant
Ministry"
The second adjourned meeting from the
December meeting of the presbytery was
held yesterday and it was unanimously de-
clded that the spring meeting, which takes
place on the second Monday in April,
should be held at the Westminster Church,
where DIR. MintOn is preaching in the place
OF DR.. Adams, who is in the East.
Rev. Fountain r. Farrand reported for
the committee on home missions that the
executive committee of the Young Peo-
pies Presbyterian Association had under
taken to assist in raising funds for the
Italian work and would give an entertain
ment next Monday in Howard Church for
that cause. The WORK of the French Re-
formed Church on Powell street, of which
Rev. E. J. Dupuy is pastor, was Endorsed
and 1t was stated that the Presbytery of
Oakland, as well as San Francisco, hoped
soon to contribute to the funds of the
church: Both these reports were adopted.
Rev. F. r. Farrand also stated that the
affairs of the Central Tabernacle had been
wound up and that there was a small bal
ance coming to the presbytery

USED A REVOLVER,
A Fight Between Chicken-Rancher
and His Boarder.

John Ehred, chicken rancher at 1o9
Russian avenue, near the Six-mile House,
and John Furnish, who boarded with him,
had fight last night. Ehred accused
Furnish of losing valuable whip, which
Furnish denied. Ehred got angry and
struck at Furnish with a chair. Furnish
PICKED up revolver to defend himself
and while Ehred was trying to take it from
5im II exploded, but fortunately the bullet
did not do any damage.
Ehred succeeded in wrestling the revolver
from Furnish and hammered him over the
head with it. Policeman Stoddard was
notified of the fight and placed the two
combatants under arrest. They were taken
to the Seyenth-street station in the patrol
wagon. While being searched a dirk was
found upon furnish, aud he was charged
cealed weapon. Ehred was charged with
an assault with deadly weapon. He de-
clared that Furnish deliberately fired a
shot at him before he took the revolver
from him.

A PROJECTED ROAD TO THE IRON

EXTENSIONS.

George Stone, one of the contractors who
has in charge the work of extending the
line OF the coast division southwark toward
Santa Barbara, is in the city and says that
little is being done at present, only small
gang OF men being employed. 1t will re-
quire three months time to complete the
bridge across the Santa Monica River, he
says, although the work is being pushed
night and day.
Mr.. Stone is hopeful that after the ar
rival OF q. Z. Huntington, who is expected
in this city in few weeks, the word may
be given out to push the line through to
Santa Barbara. The connection could be
made in about fifteen months, Mr.. Stone
says.

ASHES ACCOUNT SETTLED.
He PROVES TO THE COURT
A SATISFACTORY GUAR
DIANSHIP.
THERE WAS No ONE PRESENT TO
OPPOSE HIS FINAL STATE
MENT.

r. Porter Ashe was before Judge Slack
yesterday asking that his final account as
guardian over the estate of Sarah Althea
Terry be approved. There were none of
the attorneys of the new guardian, T. H
Williams Jr., present, and upon the testi-
mony of Mr.. Ashe the account was con-
firmed.
Ashe has always resented the imputa-
tons cast upon him by Williams when
he charged that Ashe had been misman-
aging Mrs. Terrys estate and it was for
this reason he demanded that his final ac-
count be passed upon by the court. The
other side of the controversy, reasoning
that Ashe, never having been guardian,
therefore could not file final account,
were not on hand.
1he account showed that Ashe had re-
ceived $l503 60 and had expended $2,O95 25,
leaving the estate in his debt 1891 IS. Ashe
was called to the stand and told in detail
of every transaction mentioned, and Just
the condition of the property when he
turned 1t over to his successor, Mr.. Will
liams. As to the personal property which
he had been charged with selling without
authority, it was shown that he had had
an order of court for that purpose. The
personal property sold, he showed, had
brought $500 more than its appraised
value.
The settling of this account practically
ends the controversy which has been going
on between Porter Ashe on the one side
and Thomas Williams Jr. on the other.
Ashe was deposed from his position as
guardian to Mrs. Terry upon the showing
that be had not given his ward the five
days notice which the law requires before
the guardians appointment is finally con-
firmed, He was then CHARGED with mis-
managing the estate, and for that reason
he insisted on presenting and having set
tied his final account

the necessity of preaching the Gospel to

other subjects, dwelt on the one of inter

In the discussion which followed, strong
disapproval was expressed of the custom

The Treble Clef Quartet gave its
initial concert last night in Golden Gate
Hall under circumstances which must
have filed the hearts of the performers
with Joy and their pockets with money, for
not only was the concert a success arts
tlcally, but, what does not always follow,
the audience was unusually large, in spite
OF the fact that the admission fee was the
somewhat fancy price for San Francisco of
dollar.

curity for a nights lodging. Nothing but an
empty whisky flask that belonged to the dead

BREWERY SEIZED.
Plant of the Abbott Katz Company in
Hands OF the Collector.


Brooklyn, N. Y, June 1S.-All the plant
of the Abbott Katz Brewing company,
at Bushwick avenue, Mezrole and
Scholes streets, except the real estate,
was seized this morning by Collector of
Internal Revenue Kelley. The seizure
included property and machinery,
worth, according to the company's es-
innate, 100000. The value of the land,
buildings, etc, is estimated at s4O0, 900.
Collector Kelley did not close the brew
cry Instead he left in charge Deputy
Constant and Revenue Officer Yates, of
New York, who are taking an inventory
of the property. The books of the con-
cern We're seized for examination some
days ago.
The most serious offense of which the
company is supposed to be guilty is its
use of cancelled stamps. A large guam
tity of these were found on the premises,
in violation of the law.
Collector Kelley told the reporters that
Messrs. Katz and Stein, the managers
of the company, declared their inability
to explain all of the apparent Irregular
tiles and appeared sincere in their ef-
fort to assist him in his investigation
into its affairs.
The Abbott Katz Brewing company
was founded in 1867. Charles Katz is
president.

An Interesting Story Told of How General
lI0rrisOn Came to Turn platts
Cabinet Aspirations Under.
Killed by a Secret Letter.

New York, June 1S.-Anti-Platt Re-
pulbicans will open the campaign
against the ex-senator's further domi-
nation next Wednesday night, when
the incorporators Of the State Republic
can club will organize and plan to carry
their fight into every assembly district.
The adherents OF Mayor Strong and
Public Works Commissioner William
Brookfield are not alone Erie county,
in proportion to its Republican voters,
Is much stronger in its anti-Platt senti-
ment than New York. In Brooklyn the
anti-Platt faction, headed by ex-Sur-
veyor Willis and his friends, is in con-
trol, and in Onondaga county Congress
man James j. Belden has with him
half the Republican voters of the
county.
1T looks as If Mr.. Platt can control the
next state convention, but the fight
will be made Just the same, and it will
be waged by the State Republican club.
1t Is no new fight for Mr.. Platt. A ma
jority of the incorporators of the State
club are the same that have been fight
ing him for years.
Some Ancient History.
Shortly after Mr.. Harrison's election
in 1883 he found himself confronted by
an ugly patronage fight from New York.
Ex-senator Platt, who had carried the
state for the national ticket, wanted to
be secretary of the treasury. Ex-Sen-
ator Warner Miller, who had been left
outside the breastworks, also wanted
to be secretary of the treasury. Mr..
n, g., I,i, I,
promise from Stephen b. Eltins for
the place dating back to the National
convention. The Union league people
were as usual against Mr.. Platt. At one
time it looked so much as If Mr.. Platt
would be appointed that the anti-Platt
people, including C. N. Bliss, Elihu
Root and General Dan Butterfield, de-
cided that something must be done.
A dinner was held at General Butter
fields house, at which a statement was
prepared for publication in the Repub-
lcan press of the state. General Har-
rison was informed of the situation
by Messrs. Bliss and Root, and he said
that he would take no cognizance of a
newspaper article, but would of letter
from some eminent Republican of New
York state over his own name embody-
ing the charge against Mr.. Platt.
Cornell to the Rescue.
Ex-Governor AlonZo b. Cornell wrote
that letter. 1t has never been made
public. But two copies We're ever made.
Mr.. Harrison still holds one; eX-Gov,
ernor Cornell the other. Neither will
permit its publication. 1t is said to
contain specific charges that Mr.. Platt,
as Republican boss of New York state,
took money subscribed to the state
committee and used it for the advance
ment of individual candidates in whom
he was interested. Most of them, it
was claimed. We're candidates for leg
islative places. A list of names ac-
companied Ex-Governor Cornelrs let
ter. The letter was effective, and Cen
eral Harrison has since told friends in
this city that it was this letter and the
list of signatures that destroyed Mr..
Platt's chances.
