4 YOUNG GIRLS UNTIMELT DEATH.
Fatally Stricken While Walking on
Seventh Street.
Miss Ella Burt Suddenly Carried Off
by a Stroke of Heart
Disease.

The body of Miss Ella Burt, a young
lady who was yesterday in her usual
state of health, lies at the Morgue
awaiting an autopsy to officially deter
mine the nature of the malady that last
night suddenly robbed her Of her life
Miss Burt was the daughter of one OF
the early engineers on the Central Pa
cific Railroad, but who died several
years ago. Subsequently her mother
was killed in this city while riding home
from the depot in hack. The horses
ran away " lille the driver was tempo
rarily off his seat, and in the vicinity
Of Third and NJ streets Mrs. Burt at
tempted to jump from the vehicle, or
did jump, and was killed.
She left a son and daughter. The
former is, or was, not long since, an en-
ploye of the railroad company, and the
latter had made her home with Mrs.
Sarah McKerney at 722 L street.
Last evening she and Mrs. McKerney
visited some friends in the southern
part Of the city, and were on their way
home about 8 o'clock, when at Seventh

a sort OF spasm and fell to the sidewalk.
Mrs. McKerney obtained assistance
from members of a family close by and
the girl was carried into the house and
a telephone message sent to Assistant
City Physician Ogden. He responded
promptly, but when he reached the
house The unfortunate girl was breath
ing her last, and a few minutes later
hel life had flown
DR.. ogden when asked as to the prob
able cause Of Miss Burt's sudden death,
said he was informed that she had for
some time been a sufferer from asthma,
and as this disease is often allied with
heart troUble he had no doubt her death
was from the latter cause.
Miss Burt was about II years of age,
and was greatly esteemed by her many
friends.

The Weather Bureau reports show
the rainfall in this city for the storm up
to 6:30 p. m. yesterday to have been
40 Of an inch, making for this season
30 inches, as against 2.42 inches to an
equal date last year.
The barometer at p. m. was falling
quite rapidly, though it was but very
little below the normal, but the local
prospects were most excellent for a
continuation of the rainstorm.
The highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday were IS and 80 degrees, with
foggy and cloudy weather prevailing
The wind last night was from the
rain quarter (south) and blowing from
i to - miles per hour with tend
ency to increase in velocity.
The heaviest rainfall during Novem-
Der for the past nineteen years was in
1885, when 11.34 inches was measured,
and the low country was then flooded
from all points. The least rainfall in
November was in 1890, when none was

THANKSGIVING QUIETLY OBSERVED.
There Was a General Cessation of
Business.
Churches Were Well Attended, and
Services Appropriate to the
Day Were Held.

Thanksgiving Day was generally OBJ
served here yesterday by the closing OF
all public offices and of most of the places
of business. The railroad shopmen
were given a holiday, and only neces-
sary work or business was transacted
There had been large sales of tur-
keys for the past week, and it was only
on the tables of the poorer families in
the city that the turkey was not the
piece de resistance"
The weather was cloudy, cold and
cherries, however, for Sacramento,
and outdoor pastimes were neglected
for those of indoors. Religious servi-
ces were we'll attended, especially the
union services at Westminster Presby-
terrain Church, where most of the Prot
estant congregations were represented.
Rev. r. NJ Stevenson, President of
the Pastors Union, presided, and adj
dresses were delivered by Rev. w. S.
HOSkinSOn of the English Lutheran
Church, Rev. A. 3. Banks of the First
Baptist Church and Rev. NJ. d. Buck
of the SiXth-street Methodist Church.
The choir of the Westminster Church
rendered a fine musical programme. A
service was also held there in the even
ing by Rev. Stevenson.
The services held at st. Pauls Church
by the rector, Rev. C. 4. Ottmann,
were well attended and the music was
excellent, the choir being composed of
a quartet and chorus.
At the German Lutheran Church a
special service was held in the evening
by Rev. c. +. Oehler, who preached a
Thanksgiving sermon to a large audi
ence, and special music was rendered
by the choir.
At the SiXth-street Methodist Church
there was a Thanksgiving service in
the afternoon. Mrs. Van Colt used as
texts parts of a number of verses in
the Bible that were read by members of
the congregation, after which there was
d praise service. In the evening there
were the regular revival services, a
large attendance being present in spite
of the inclement weather, and she took
for her text Mark XIV, u, the question
OF PLATE to the High Priest, What will
ye then that 1 do to Him that We call
the King of the Jews" At the close of
her sermon she made a stirring appeal
to those who felt that they needed sal
walton, and q large number went for
ward to the altar.
To-day at 800 p. m. there will be d

A VERBAL WILL
But Mrs. Gerrish of Oakland VIII Try
to Make III Hold.

to Make 1t Hold.
A San Francisco paper states that Mrs.
Gerrsh of Oakland will probably make
an effort to secure q portion of the estate
of the late Mrs. Laura Jones of this city.
Mrs. Gerrish came across the plains
over thirty years ago, and in the same
train was a girl friend, who afterward
became Mrs. Laura Jones. and who set
tied in this city. She had no children of
her own, and always said she would leave
some of her properly to Mrs. Gerrish.
1t will be remembered that while i'll q
short time ago Mrs. Jones sent for Law
yer Harlow to draw her will. She left
the above property 10 Mrs. Gerrish and
the residue of her 50, 00O estate to the Sal
walton Army. The lawyer took notes
and went away to draw up the will, but
before he reached Mrs. Jones' bedside
again she had died.
The statement to the lawyer was made
in the presence of witnesses, but as 1t was
what might be termed only verbal will,
it is claimed that it will not hold good in
law, and that the property will escheat
to the State. II Mrs. Gerrish should
make contest, the case will attract con-
siderable attention because Of the cIroum-
stances surrounding 1t.
The property in question consists OF
two houses and lots at Twenty-fifth and
streets.

| and Stuart Epson on one side and J. M.
Morrison, Henry Gerber, Frank Rub

the match was at twenty birds each
and the two sides tied on sixty-three
birds. They then shot off at five birds

by one bird.
The decision was challenged on the
ground that the winning team had put
up job on the auileless and unsuspect-

loaded with rice instead of leaden pellets,
and although the other team denied all
guilty knowledge of the fact, a Lexow
committee Will be appointed to probe
the deep, dark and dangerous conspiracy
to the bottom and save those tickets, If
possible. There is suspicion that the
members of the losing team put up the
job themselves, but time will tell.

Jowctt's Sayings.

Here Is collection of Jowett's sayings
reported by Mr.. Tollemache in The Jour
nal of Education. We Gull them almost
at random, but all are in their different
ways characteristics:
"Onco when came back from holiday
and told Jowett had been reading Hegel
no said: It's a good thixs to have read
Hegol, but now that you've read him
advise you to forget him again.
"But the quaintest thing that he said
was to pupil who had been reading him
an essay with strong metaphysical flavor
1t is remarkable what n fascination meta
physics seems to possess for the human
mind. 1t is like falling In love. But you
get over IL after time
"He wished to keep up the house of
lords, and even wished the bishops to re-
tain their seats In il. 1t keeps them out
of mischief, he said, with laugh.
Zone or two examples may be subjoined
OF tho sort of advice which Jowett some
times gave, and which obtained for him
the credit OF discredit of worldly wisdom
] once received from him tho following
counsel: Never listen to man when he
abuses his relations. He will make ),
with them, and then no will hate you for
knowing that he abused them
"Jowett Is reported to have said In a
sermon: The choice Of n profession is like
the choice Of wife. IL docs not SD much
matter which you choose, SO long as you
stick to It,"
