An Extra Session.

The impression is gaining ground
that if the present congress fails to act
upon his currency plans the president
will call a special session of the Fifty
fourth congress early next summer.
The best informed men about Washing
ton believe this is the way the situation
will work itself out.
The spectacle of professed Demo-
cratic president calling together Re-
publican congress to pass measure re-
jected by a Democratic congress is en-
ough to dem onstrate the condition to
which the Democratic party has been
reduced by its departure from the doc
trines which gave it life and power.
The demonstration is particularly clear
when it is considered that Mr.. Cleve-
land unquestionably has the support of
a powerful wing of his party in violat-
ing the platform upon which he was
elected, the traditions of Democracy
and the principles upon which the par
ty was founded. The platform contain
ed what was pretended to be quasi
declaration for silver, and neither in it
nor in any of the spoken or written ut
terances of Mr.. Cleveland or other
leaders was there any intimation of an
intention to hand the circulation OF the
country over to the banks. Had the
campaign been fought on that PROPOSE
ton, Mr.. Cleveland would never have
returned to the White house. The cur
rency plan comes as thief in the night
hoping to profit by surprise.
While the dominant section of the
Democratic party is to blame for this
fresh example of gross treachery, the
Republican party cannot plume itself
upon superior attachment to the
people. On the contrary, there is no
doubt felt that the new Republican
house will readily pass a bank note
bill.-Rocky Mountain News.

Laws of Gravity.


The law of attraction of graYitatio
was well illustrated on Cedar street the
other day. A man stood holding a rope
which ran over a pulley, and into a
second story window, where it was at
tached to barrel containing about six
hundred pounds Of chain. The barrel
was poised on the sill of the window,
and by some misschance the man in
the building let go of it without notify
ing the man on the ground; result, il
lastration of the laws of gravity, barrel
down and man up, as he retained his
grip on the rope. Then to complete
matters, the barrel struck the ground
so hard that the bottom fell ont, the
contents following, of course. Again
the gravity was demonstrated, for the
barrel was lighter than the man, and he
came down with thnmp and the bar
rel went up. Then be made the mis-
of his life by letting go of the
rope, that he might feel his bruises, for
the barrel being heavier than the loose
end of the rope, dropped swiftly down
ward and struck him fairly, Just as he
was struggling to his feet, again vindi-
eating the attraction of gravitatiou.
But the spectators failed to realise the
gravity of the situation. Paul Globe,

DAUGHTER AGAINST SON
Mrs. Albert Files a Contest to
Her Mothers Will LeaV-
ing $4,000.
She Alleges That Her Brother
Brought a Lot of Undue In
fluence to Bear.

| Mrs. Agnes Theresa Albert, through her
| attorney, Thomas e. Curran, has filed
contest to the will of her mother Mary
Coffey, who died recently, leaving an es-
tate of $4,000. 1t consists of real estate in
the Mission, this City; about $500 in the
hands of Father Maraschi, and land in
Shasta County valued at $1,000. There are
also some lands in Mendocino County, the
value of which is problematical.
| The will filed on Friday last bequeathed
the estate to the only son, William G. COT
| fey, with the exception OF legacies of $500
to Father Maraschi and 5000 and half
| interest in the Mendocino County property
to her only daughter. She was thus prac-
tically disinherited and now brings this
| contest.
| The contest is made on the usual grounds
| of incompetence to make the will and I'M
due influence. Specifically, the petition
asking that the will be denied probate
alleges that it was not the last will of de-
cedent; that she, at the time of it's execu-
| ton, was not of sound and disposing mind :;
that it was not signed by her nor attested
by two or more competent witnesses in her
presence; that it was signed under re-
straint, undue influence and fraudulent
| representation, and was procured by
undue influence, exercised over her by
William C. Coffey, her son, and others.
| Finally the petition alleges:
That if the said Mary Coffey executed said
supposed will the said will was executed by her
under an entire misapprehension or delusion
| concerning matters and circumstances which
| never existed in fact, but which are assigned
| in said supposed will as the reason for giving
| the bulk of her property to her son, William c.
| Coffey, and practically disinheriting her
daughter, said Agnes Theresa Albert, contest
ant herein.
Mrs. Coffey was one of the owners of
realty on the new Postoffice site and sold
it for about $4,000. She had three children
and had made a will dividing her property
among them, but on the death of her son,
John A. Coffey, destroyed that will. The
latest will contained paragraph disin-

Judge Hunt Denies Divorce to Mrs.

made no denial and default was entered.

He IS HELD FOR MURDER
o. w. Winthrop Will Have to
Stand Trial in the Superior
Court.
THE EVIDENCE OF HIS GUILT.
Judge Joachimsen Renders His
Decision and Refuses to
Fix Bail.

The interest taken by the members OF
| the Order of Chosen Friends and others in
the case OF o. w. Winthrop was shown by
the large number who we're in Judge Jo-
achimsen's court yesterday morning to
hear the Judge deliver his decision.
Winthrop is charged with the murder OF
Mrs. Jennie Matthews, wife of Edwin S.
Matthews, a cable-car conductor living at
5O2 Broderick street, by giving her pill
containing strychnine while she was at the
graves of her children in the cemetery.
Mrs Matthews life was insured in the
order for $1,000, and at her death the money
was made payable to Winthrop as trustee
for her surviving child. Winthrop was
secretary OF the council OF which she was a
member. The popularity in the insurance
on her life was that her husband did not
know of it till after her death.
The Judge, in giving his decision, said
that while the evidence was not at all con-
elusive as to Winthrop'S guilt he thought
it was one of those cases that a Jury should
pass upon. The statute made it the duty
of a committing magistrate to ascertain
first whether crime had been committed,
and secondly if from the evidence there
was reason to believe that the defendant
had committed the crime.
II think" said the Judge "that the evil
dence shows crime has been committed,
and that Mrs. Matthews was poisoned by
some man while visiting at the cemetery,
and there is reason to believe that the de-
PENDANT poisoned her.
81 will hold the defendant to answer
before the Superior Court on the charge of
murder"
The Judge refused to fix bail, as the
crime was not one in which the defendant
was entitled TO it.
