An OLD MINERS SORROW.
Deserted by His Kindred He Goes to
the AImShOuSe.
TFibHlatiOnS Of Edward Delay, Once the
Associate Of Many Of the
Bonanza Kings.

Eighty years of age, poor, deserted by
his kindred, and at one time the associate
of John Mackay, James G. Fair and other
kings of the Comstock lode, Edward Delay
will spend his last days in the Almshouse.
Delay told the story of his life to Secre-
tary McComb of the Humane Society yes
terday. He told how he came here in 1S49
to seek after gold, and how some years later
he and John Mackay worked togetoer with
the pick and shovel near Grass Valley.
~ met John 'Brien on the Allison ranch
in 1856" remarked he, land later went to
the Comstock, where met James G.. Fair.
We worked together for long time and
owned one or two mines together. But
Fairs luck didn't come until later, and
mine never came"
Mr.. Delay was unable to work at mining
when he reached his sixty-ffth year, and
in that time his former associates had risen
to eminence in the financial world. Once
in a while Mackay and Fair rendered him
assistance in a financial way that neces-
sary help which was denied him by his
children.
If Mr. Delays story be true his son,
Daniel J. Delay, principal of the Ocean
View School, does not figure in favorable
light The old man alleges that he repeat
edly asked his son for help and that all of
his appeals fell on deaf ears.
81 have three other sons" said he, "but
do not know where they are. I haven't
seen them for long time and know moth
ing about them. All 1 desire now is q
place where 1 can rest my bones until
die"
Secretary McComb informed Delay that
he had no jurisdiction in the case, but that
he would send him to the Almshouse with
a note recommending his reception there.

a most devoted worker for political purity
and the introduction into local govern

was especially earnest in denouncing the
recent appointment of Police Commits

too rigid devotion to the prosecution OF his
high aims.

the Legislature.
AT an executive meeting of the Commit
tee of Eleven, held yesterday afternoon,
George T. Gaden, the president, rendered
his resignation, offering as a reason that
his business did not allow him time to at
tend to the duties of the Office. The resig-
nation was accepted and c. c. Terrill was
chosen to fill the vacancy.
A. w. Thompson introduced a preamble
and resolution, which were unanimously
adopted. These are in effect that as each
branch of the Legislature seems to be OPP
posed to a committee of it's members being
appointed to investigate election frauds
and official corruption it is for the
best interests of California that a commits
sion be appointed, and that it enter upon
the work of investigation with all con-
venient dispatch.
Secretary Reynolds was instructed to
notified the Civic Federation that the COM
mittee of eleven is ready to cooperate
with it in mass-meeting to be held on
Saturday night.
The subcommittee on legislation was in
structed to devise ways by which each of
the organizations having for its object the
investigation of frauds may have repre-
sentation by attorney with right to pre-
sent facts and question witnesses.
Several matters were discussed in con-
nection with the proposed inquiry, but the
members were pledged to secrecy as to
these for the present.
The committee will meet again Saturday
afternoon in the Mills building.

the charges of petty larceny and vagrancy.
John Braunlin, who had been working

in the city on Saturday night He went
to the Reno House, where they met Paul
sen, and they had talk together. Paulsen
got into Braunlin's good graces by the
promise of job and finally steered him to
the Jack Rabbit saloon on Jackson street.
While standing at the bar tall man
came in and he and Paulsen began to
throw dice. The usual result followed.
Paulsen borrowed $40 from Braunlin and
accompanied by the tall man, slipped out
of the saloon. Braunlin caught Paulsen
and demanded his $40. Paulsen said he
had given the money to the tail man, but
if Braunlin would go with him to friend
on Third street he would get the money.
When they reached Third street Paulsen
bolted, but ran into the arms of Policeman
Riley. The detectives are hunting for the
tall man.

BURGLAR. CATCHING CRAZE.
Mrs. Constance FOuche Is the Latest
Heroine.
She Tells in Court How She Caught a
Burglar in Her Room and
Effected His Arrest.

This winter will be remembered in police
circles for the number of burglars that
have been captured red-handed by young
and pretty women.

Gus Gritfiths in the Hotel Savoy, and Mrs
Blanche Whitney, who arrested Fred L..
LQwen at 1912 Bush street, have had their
deeds of heroism told in the press, and now
Mrs. Constance Fouche, a petite and
charming French lady, comes to the front
On the night of January 26 Mrs. Fouche
went to her room in the Gailhard Hotel,
500 Pine street. AS she walked in she saw
burly, thick-set man, who walked quickly
toward her. With a wOman's quick in
stinct, she realized she had a burglar to
deal with and darted out of the door,
closing it after her She held on to the
knob and screamed for help. The burglar
on the inside tried to force the door open,
but she pluckily held to the knob with all
her strength. When assistance arrived she
was nearly exhausted.
When she released her hold the door
few open, but the burglar was confronted
by several men who had been attracted by
Mrs. Pouches screams. The burglar drew
a bludgeon from his pocket, but he was
quickly overpowered and held till Police
man McNulty arrived. The burglar gave
the name of Albert Johnson. When
searched, a pair of opera glasses, some
money and jeweIry belonging to Mrs.
Fouche were found in his pockets, besides
two skeleton keys.
Johnson's preliminary examination was
held before Judge Conlan yesterday morn
ing. Mrs. Fouche modestly told her story
and identified the articles taken from
Johnson. Her husband, Eugene Fouche,
gave corroborative evidence, and the Judge
held Johnson to answer before the Superior
Court in $4,000 bonds.

RIVAL SODA MEN.
They Take Their Grievances Into the
Police Court.

Iney rake Ihelr grievances INTO the
Police Court.
There is bitter feeling between P. G..
Somps and NJ. Mouret & Co., rival soda
water manufacturers, which has been car
ried into the Police Court.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Somps swore out
warrants in Judge Lows court for the ar
rest of three of Mouret & Coz drivers, John
Lacon, Dennis Bellgarde and John Barrare,
on felony charge of stealing his siphon
bottles.
Mr.. Somps said that the drivers OF
Mouret & Co. s wagons had been gathering
up his bottles, breaking them and selling
the lead. Last year 5000 bottles, worth 81
each, had disappeared in that way.
A few days ago some of Somps' men
dressed themselves in shabby clothing and
went to Mouret & Co.'s establishment on
Montgomery street, near Jackson, repre-
senting themselves as rag and bottle men.
They found barrel filled with broken bot
ties belonging to Somps.
On Tuesday Somps obtained search
warrant. He accompanied the officer to
Mouret & Co.'s, and they discovered a
large number of his bottles packed under
some hay. So yesterday he swore out the
warrants for the arrest of the three drivers.
He threatens to bring Mouret before the

A WOMAN'S WRATH.
Mrs. Hannah Sullivan Finds Herself in
Serious Predieament.

Mrs. Hannah Sullivan, who lives on
Chesley street, near Seventh, was arrested
about ten days ago on the charges of bat
terry and using vulgar language. 1t is now
probable she will have to answer to fell
ony charge instead.
The victim of her wrath was Mrs. Annie
Cummins, neighbor. They met at q
vegetable wagon, where they were making
some purchases. They were not on
friendly terms, and soon they were in the
midst of an angry discussion. Mrs. Sulli-
van knocked Mrs. Cummins down and
jumped on her, using language more forci-
bic than polite.
Mrs. Cummins was in a delicate condi-
ton, and since then she has been laid up
in bed. When the cases were called in
Judge Conlan's court yesterday medical
certificate was handed to the Judge that
Mrs. Cummins was dangerously i'll and
might not recover. The cases were con-
tinued till Saturday.

fed to the facts as stated. Carrie Wicks, a
buxom German girl, testified that she had
been engaged to be married to Reichert
for long time, but recently she found he
was married man and broke off the en-
gagement. Reichert begged her not to
give him up and he would obtain divorce
from his wife.
Reichert accounted for having the sack
with him by saying that he was on his way
to the market to buy onions. He gave
such queer answers TO some of the ques-
tons that the Judge was perplexed as to
whether he was sane or not, and was more
so when Attorney Louis T. Durnand testi-
fed to his good character.
Finally the Judge decided to hold Reich
ert to answer before the Superior Court in
$1,000 bonds.
