SAN JOSE DIVORCE CASE.
WOES OF THE ICARDS RECITED IN
A COURT COMMISSIONERS
REPORT.
WITNESSES TESTIFY THAT THE RE-
CALCITRANT HUSBAND BEAT
HIS WIFE.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Oct. 1S.-Court Com
missioner Montgomery to-day flied his re-
port in the divorce case of Marie Icard
against August Icard.
The Icards were married in San Fran.
cisco in 1888. Shortly after their marriage
they removed to this city and until few
months ago conducted a French laundry
Married life was not all sunshine and
roses, as Icard was in the habit of making
collections and going off on protracted
sprees.
A couple of months ago the Icards, after
numerous quarrels, agreed to separate, and
the husband took the horse and wagon as
his share of the property. He went to Los
Angeles. from which place he had friends
telegraph to his wife that he was dead, and
she made arrangements to have his body
brought to this city for interment. Later
he wrote to her in the hope of effecting a
reconciliation, but she refused to have any,
thing 10 do with him.
Several witnesses testified before the
Commissioner that Icard beat his wife on
frequent occasions.

SAN DiECO'S MURDERER.
Jose Hfario to Be Form oily Charged With
Having cIub6ed Mrs. San0rock
IN noufb

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. 1S.-Sheriff Jen-
nings and the officers who have been con-
stantly at work on the Sandrock murder
cases since October now believe they have
sufficient evidence to warrant them IN
causing the formal arrest of the Indian,
Jose Hilario who has been held In jail
under detention ever since October 8, and a
complaint charging him with murder was
filed to-day.
When the murder occurred there was
absolutely no other cIew. Much time was
spent in following three Indians to Des-
canso, who soon proved themselves to be
entirely innocent. All the facts in hand
were that the woman had been first struck
with a club, then stabbed with knife,
and that some money had been stolen
from the house.
The first suspicion was directed against

WOULD DANCE OR DIE.

a Girl attempts Self Destruction Because
of a Fathers Command.
PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 1S.-Emily String,
a 15-year-old girl. living with her parents
on Mississippi avenue and Beach street,
attempted self-destruction at late hour
last night with morphine. When the
girls parents became aware of her foolish
act they hurriedly sent for doctor, who,
after several hours, succeeded in placing
her on the road to recovery. At last ac-
counts she was altogether out of danger.
The cause prompting Emily to make
this attempt upon her life was her fathers
refusal to allow her to attend dance last
evening. She brooded over this denial of
pleasure until she reached the conclusion
that life was something of blank. She is
the fifth Albina girl who within the past
year has attempted suicide for similar rea-
sons. and two of them succeeded in cross
ing the Jordan.

FRANKLIN MIME HORROR.
The Bodies of the -Four Men Who Lost Their
Lives Have Not Yet Been Re-

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct 1S.-Mine Super
intendent Corey telegraphed to the
Oregon Improvement Company officials in
this city that he had effectually closed
with timbers, dirt and sand the mouth
at the slope of the Franklin mines.
1t will, however, be probably fortnight
before the black damp settles down wiping
out the last vestige Of fire. The bodies of
the four miners, which are supposed to be
on the sixth level, may not be recovered
for four or five days, though they are be-
lieved to be beyond the reach of the fire.
The repeated horrors at Franklin are
beginning to make old miners very sus-
picious and 10th to work in that mine
More men have met tragic deaths there

mountain. An 8 per cent grade will allow
an electric road to be operated without the
use of cogs."
Mr.. Avery surveyed the proposed line
some time ago, but no action was taken. as
it was considered at that time that it
would be necessary to make use of cogs
The expense in that case would be too
great, and the idea was given up.
The route as now laid out will commence
at point between Mill Valley and
Sausalito, where a WHARF will be built and
boats run from San Francisco to make con-
nections. Commencing at this point the

mountain, thence by easy stages UP the

view of the bay and the surrounding
country.

Will be built a hotel and observatory. A
spring has been discovered on the noun
tain near the location of the proposed
hotel, and another difficulty, that of OBJ
tanning water without the necessity Of car
rying it up, has been done away with.
The return trip will be over the north
westerly slope of the mountain, and the
traveller obtains an entirely different view
from that on the trip up the mountain
To the west can be seen the ocean, and just
below the great redwood canyon looms up,
giving the sightseer a great variety of

Mill Valley proper and rnn through the

When seen by CALL correspondent the
men interested in the road said that
nothing definite as yet could be given out,
but work on the road would commence as
soon as the right of way was secured and
arrangements made with the electric COM
pany to supply the power.

Kane, sporting and boating character,
well known here and at San Francisco, was
drowned off the Georgia-street pier while
assisting to make fast the steamer Amador
at the end of it's early trip this morning.
Kane was seen to drop and fail overheard
and several sailors rushed to the SCOT.
Kane's well-known skill in the water, how
ever, deferred them from jumping in to aid
him until too late.
1t developed afterward that Kane has of
late been subject to fits, and was doubtless
seized by one at this time. He had quite
life-saving record hereabouts, always
having been ready to go to the aid of any
one struggling in the water.

The So Called Nina Reader Wants to

SAN BERNARDINO. CAL. Oct. 49,
Professor Tyndall, the so-calied mind
reader, has sent letter to the attorneys
with series of murders. in which he says ::
Having used hypnotism with more or
less success in criminal cases. and having
proved the guilty guilty and the innocent
innocenC by compelling accused persons to
tell the truth under hypnotic influence. I
am prepared to make the following offer !:
/ will place II. H. Holmes, the alleged
murderer of Minnie Williams and others,
in what is called perfec. state of hypnot:sm
and compel him to tell the truth in regard
to the particular crimes he is said to be
guilty Of If innocent he will doubtless
make statements and prove an alibi for
gotten in natural state, which under
hypnotic influence would come out vividly
and be the subject of proof; but if guilty
he had better keep away from hypnotism,
for the truth will come out and his guilt
be proven"

cence of James O'Brien, arrested in Los
Angeles as Lee Harold, the Rio Vista
murderer, and other instances and con-
cludes:

to the best method to be employed to secure
a sweeping Republican victory, but the fact
has become painfully apparent to both the
Little Napoleon" and his liege hench-
man, Frank Daroux, who head the down
town faction, and to Bart Cavanaugh and
his hackers, who command the uptown
wares delegations, that to carry the Re-
publican banner to victory in the coming
municipal election with two strong candi-
dates in the field, personal misunderstand-
ing and party strife must be cast aside for
a time at least and all must work to at
tain the desired object.
Frank Daroux, who for seventeen years
has controlled the politics in the Second
Ward, and who during that time has been
a loyal adherent of the Little Napoleon"
was born and reared within the confines of
the ward in which he has so often won
hard fought battles for his favorite candi-
dates, and it is his boast that he never lost a
primary fight since be entered the political
arena. No matter what means it became
necessary to employ he always won out. 3"
Since early boyhood Daroux's highest
ambition was to become a successful
politician, and he bent every energy to
attain his aim. So well informed has he
become that ne is personally acquainted
with and knows the weaknesses and the
disposition of every resident of his district
and is pretty well acquainted with the resi-
OF the people of this city and county

and again snatched victory from threat
ened defeat by making some unexpected
move. unforeseen by his opponents, which
resulted in upsetting all their welllaic
plans.
At the general election held last fall the
polling-place in the Second Ward was cap
tured By a body of Daroux's opponents
who, anxious to curry favor with The
faction commanded by Bart Cavanaugh
had carried the war into Daroux's strong
hold. They made it impossible for one o
the Daroux faction to deposit a ballot by
crowding in a compact mass below The
polling-place, and the small police force
was simply unable to oust them.
The day seemed lost, as they outnum
bered the Daroux men 3 to l and were
husGling every legal voter of the ward into
the street as fast as he approached to de-
posit his ballot.
Suddenly pistol-shot rang out, and with
a general shout of Look out! Daroux is
shooting" the gang decamped, leaving the
field clear TO Darouxs contingency, who
soon turned the tide in his favor. Daroux
was arrested for discharging firearms in
the city limits, but little ne cared for that
HIS shot fired through the sidewalk in
the center of the struggling mass of his
opponents had been the trump card that
won the day.
1t has been by similar movements and
by others less commendable that Daroux

he always manages to secure enough politi-
