WORTHINGTON ASSAULTED
He Says That His Assailants Were
the Two Badde1ey

William Worthington went to the Re-
ceiving Hospital last evening for treat
ment for badly battered face. His nose
was broken, both eyes were blackened and
the re mainder of his countenance had
to be patched and plastered profuseiy by
the attending surgeons.
The sufferer, it will be remem bered, is
the husband of Mrs. Maggie Worthington,
the murderesS, who about three years ago
shot and killed Henry Baddeley, her
lover. She had three trials and the last
resulted, about three weeks ago, in her
being sent to San Quentin to serve term
of twenty-five years imprisonment.
Worthington in explaining how he re-
ceiyed the injuries stated that yesterday
he took his two children out to the beach
below Lands End station on the Ferries
and Cliff House steam railroad. He and
the youngsters spent the afternoon pic
nicking on the beach and q little before
dark they started up the hill to the sta
ton.
Worthington said that he had not gone
far up the trail when two OF Henry Bad
deley's brothers sprang from a place of
concealment in the bushes, and, with an
oath, proceeded to pummel him without
mercy. He stated that he was unable 10
protect himself against such odds and SO
had to submit to their treatment He
said they knocked him down several times
with their fists and punched his face when
he was on the ground. When they stopped
and went away he was almost unconscious
from the beating. At last he gathered his
frightened children and took the cars back
to town. AS soon as he could he went to
the spital for repairs. Worthington de-
MES that he did or said anything to pro.
woke the assault, and he threatens to
swear out warrants tomorrow for the ar
rest of the two Baddeleys for battery.

COURSING At THE PARKS,
Beginning of the Big Forty
Eight Dog Stake at
CasSerly'S.
Electric and Fearless Win the
Matches and Money at
Kerrigan's Resort.

The banks of fog that hung over the
coursing parks all day yesterday and rem
dered the weather cold and disagreeable
did not dam pen the ardor of the cnthusi-
asts who turned out as usual to enjoy their
Sunday sport.
The prospect of seeing forty-eight high
class dogs from all parts of the State COM
pete for large prizes drew big crowd to
CasserIey's park, where the running was
of high order.
The presence of coursing men from Hay
wards, Vellejo, MERGED and other points,
with plenty of money to back their favor
ties, made the betting lively, and much
money changed hands on the results.
Only the rundown and first ties were
negotiated, the rest of the stake being
postponed until to-day, when it Will be I'm
ished, in addition to a 81 80 entrance con-
ISOLATION stake, to which the management
will add $25.

AT EMMANUEL CHURCH.
dom Evidently Drawn From
Recent Occurrences.

The Rev. J. George Gibson delivered a
discourse last night at the Emmanuel Bap-
fist Church upon the wisdom of religious
preparation for the unexpected emer-
gencv.
Taking the parable of the wise and fool
ish virgins for his text, he applied to every
day life the lesson of the five virgins who
carried to the wedding ceremony what oil
their lamps would hold, and the five vir-
gins who took little extra oil and were
able still to furnish light when the bride
groom made his appearance after an unex-
pected delay.
There were occasional touches in his re-
marks which one could not help interpret
ing as having some connection with the
events which have cast shadow of gloom
and mystery over that church on Bartlett
street. Particularly was this the case
when he said:
"Oh, the circumstances that we know
not Tonight. while one girl is thinking
of her marriage, another is preparing to
commit suicide.
Tonight, while one young man is
living on Mob Hill, a companion of his
childhood is languishing in some opium
den. In the same tenement are living
people who are honest and those who are
vile-persons who shudder at the receipt
OF every leLIer IN strange ndnQ. Two
boys read out of the same Bible One to-
day IS Judge of the Superior Court and
the other is a convict behind the bars.
Two men were educated at the same col
lcge. One to-day is a clergyman, the other
is stump-speaKer in the saloons.
"You may think there is nothing ahead
to disturb your peace. You have lived,
may be, twenty, thirty, forty years, but
your time will come. Some night you will
awake with start at a cry and YOU will
see a company of men standing over you
with their lights and staring into your
face as though they would read your
secret.
"Oh, it is grand to know that our past
has been a storing up of oil, so that when
the dark schemes of men come upon us we
can meet them and defy them. think
there are times in life when every man
should look out for him self first"
Speaking with reference TO certain young
men and preachers without churches who
might envy him his position, he said if
there were any such and the position
alone was all they wanted, he would will
ingly step out and give 1t up to them, but
that he would venture to say that if he
should return a week later they would be
very glad for him to relieve them of the
annoyances from reporters and the sur
misses and fabrications of newspapers.

called from the presidency of an Eastern
seminary to take charge OF the pastorate
he has now served for the regular Meth
odist term
He said that when he assumed charge of
the church it had been. through Dr. An
thongs illness, practically without pas
tor for year, and that four months of the
conference year had already passed. The
church was then at stage where it was no
longer mission church and yet it was not
quite City church, although it occupied
a commodious building. 1t was dominated
largely by few old members and it had
gradually to be evolved into modern CITY
ideas. The change was not accomplished
without some friction, SO few additions
were made the first year. Only two were
added by confession of faith and forty five
by letter.
During the following years, however,
after broader adjustment had taken place
through the influence of more thoughtful
persons, there were, on an average, fifty-
five received each year by probation, or a
total of 227 for the four years, and total
of 41 admitted to membership by letter,
making grand total of 46S to be added to
the 507 old members.
1.-The membership to-day" said DR.. Nc
Clish, Excluding those who have died OF
removed from the parish, is 6S5, comparing
favorably with all the other evangelical
churcnes of the City"
Five years ago the church had debt of
$4,000 That has been reduced to SIS, 600
and, in addition, parsonage has been
built, furnished and entirely paid for In
all over $65, 500 has been raised by the con-
gregation during his term. Last wear
alone $3.50 was asked for and over $1,000
was paid in.
He quoted from I. ]. Truman, the pres
ipent of the Columbia Bonding Company,
and also chairman of the church financial
committee, who said, 1.-THE church was
never in better financial condition than
that in which DR.. McClish leaves it at the
close Of his successful pastorate'
