FRANK Massey VERY ILL,
Burglary Reported That Is De.
MED by the Owners of
the House Robbed.
A Receiver Appointed for the Tele.
gram Who Cannot Furnish
a Bond.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 6.-Frank Has
sey is confined to his room in the Park
Hotel by an illness that promises to be
very serious. He has been failing in
health for some time, being 50 years of age,
and now he seems to be entirely broken
down physically, and it is considered
doubtful if he gets out again. During the
flush times of the stock market Hassey
vas one of the most dashing members of
the big board. He became a member of it
February IA, 1863, five months after its
organization. In later years Mr.. Massey,
although still retaining his seat in the
board and still following the occupation OF
a ckbroker, has not been in very easy
circumstances. He was a warm personal
friend of E. P. Peckham, who died in this
city nearly two years ago, and who was
also very prominent figure on the Stock
Board during the flush times.
The Suspen ded Telegram.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec. 6.-Not much
progress has been made in Strengthening
the tangle in which the affairs of the Daily
Telegram have become involved E. H.
Nauman, a reporter on the paper before it
suspended, was yesterday appointed re-
ceiver by Judge Frick on petition OF G.. A.
Dodge, who claims TO own balf-interest.
Nauman has not yet been able to qualify
through lack of being able to furnish a
bond in the sum of $4,000. 1t is believed
that Marshall still has an interest in the
property, as he interested himself in OBJ
tanning bondsmen, and up to q late hour
had only succeeded in getting j. R. Blgler
to consent to sign.

An Unusual Experience.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Dec 6.--Rev. ]. X.
Mclean had a queer experience on the
Webster-street roadway across the marshes
two nights ago. He was to perform a mar
riage ceremony for an Alameda couple and
a carriage was sent for him. The carriage.
on the way back, broke down. The driver
made hasty and temporary repairs, re-
sumed his seat and drove on into town and
I'D to the house where the wedding was to
take place. Arriving there he alighted
and opened the carriage door and was as
tonished to find the vehicle empty. When
the breakdown occurred the reverend gen.
tleman had evidently alighted, and after
repairs had been made the driver started
off without him, not knowing but he was
laved till the carriage could he sent back
again for the preacher and it found him at
his home to which he repaired on the
streetcars.
