THE WIDOWS "WHACKlUP."
Curious Agreement Between Two Re-
1icts of Shoemaker Comes
to Light.

to Light.
Judge Coffey was surprised yesterday
morning. Since November 26 last he has
had in his court litigation pending regard
ing the estate of one David Jaffe, whose
widow, together with some creditors,
claimed the property, valued at about
$1,000
Yesterday Attorney Lerman innocenuly
informed the court that he had secured let
tiers testamentary over the estate for
another Mrs. Jaffe, known as Fannie
Levin, and had withdrawn the money of
the estate from the bank, where it had
been deposited to the order of the court.
He guilelessly explained that his client
was willing to "whack up'' with the second
wife, and that the letters had been OBJ
tanned on that understanding in another
department.
David Jaffe, alias Levet, alias Levin, had
been shoemaker on Market street. In
former years he had married in PhiIadel-
phia, had gone to Germany and married
again, and here were two reputed widows
proposing to avoid litigation by an ex-
parte division Of the property.
Attorneys John D. Whaley and Blake
man, for the second wife, maintained that
the divorce proceedings of the Philadel-
phia spouse were involved in gloom, and
protested that there was something queer
in the obtaining of letters in another de-
partment.
Judge Coffey acquitted Attorney Lerman
OF all blame, but suggested that the petit
ton, without invest cation, argued some
lack of care and that the withdrawal of
the money from the bank without due or
der of court was against rule. He advised
the transfer of the case to one department.

1871 to afford mutual protection to the
retailers from under-selling of the whole

to be an important branch of the grocers'

NEW TROOP OF CAVALRY.
Every Rider in the Salinas Company
Owns His Horse.

Every Rider in the Salinas Company
Owns His Horse.
Ex-senator Thomas Flint Jr. writes from
Salinas that new troop of cavalry for the
National Guard of California has been or
ganized in that town. The captain-elect
of the company, M. J. Burke, has sent in
his list of 100 names to general headquar-
tiers at Sacramento, with request that the
company be admitted to the guard and as
signed to the Third Brigade.
The men of the new company are pro-
nounced first class and it is creditable to
the troop that every man in the company
owns and rides good horse.
The reorganizsd National Guard allows
four mounted companies. There is one in
San Francisco-the First Troop, but the
other three have not been mustered into
service.
The Third Brigade, to which the new
company will probably be attached, has
headquarters at Los Angeles.

Her Sanity Questioned.

"Is Cleo Oliver insane?" Is the question
that Judge Kimball was called upon to
determine. Cleo was sentenced to the
workhouse by Judge Kimball several days
ago as vaSrant, because she had been
found in a VIGOROUSLY disreputable house.
The young woman was well known to the
court, and because of her reputation the
bond was made larger than in the aver
age vagrancy case.
Tuesday morning the young woman's
mother appeared in the Police Court and
made Il plea for her release.
In support Of her plea she produced a GER
tificate from DIR. w. E. Poulton, which
reads. This is to certify that have this
day examined (at the workhouse) Cleo
Oliver and find her mental condition to be
such that I consider her not OF sound
mind, and, in my opinion, at times not
responsible for her actions"
Incidentally, the mother said she mad en-
ployed the doctor to examine the girl, and
had paid him s. for his services.
Judge Kimba1l remembered the girl, but
he failed to recall anything about her to
remind him of her alleged insanity, and so
he referred DIR. Poulton'S certificate to DR..
J. Wesley Bovee, who is in attendance
upon the prisoners who are sick. In his
report, received by the court today, he
gives it as his opinion that the girl is of
sound mind, tells of her former visits to
the workhouse a prisoner, and says he
thinks she is where she belongs.
Cleo will have to give real estate security
| to effect her release.

pay 500 for it. She managed to make the
acquaintance of the man, who said his
name was ]. e. Taft, and he assured her
that he would get position for her in the
Smithsonian under Prof. Langley. She
thereuron gave him $50 on account, and
then on the 14th of March he went with
her to the Smithsonian to further convince
her that her position was all right. 1t was
late In the afternoon when they reached
the building, and Taft introduced Miss Gar
rett to a lady whom he said was Miss Ida
Higgins. This lady said she was a clerk
there, and was going to resign as she was
about to get married, and she assured Miss
Garrett that she would nave an easy po-
sitfon and would get good pay.
This satisfied Miss Taft, and the couple
returned from the building. Miss Garrett
charges that during their walk from the

Drowned This Morning.

Charles Platter, a colored laborer fifty
years old. was drowned at about $50 this
morning on the Virginia side of the river,
opposite the Three Sisters" He was last
seen wheeling stone over a plank to a
scow that was being loaded. His death
was not witnessed, there being but few
men on the scene at the time. One Of the
laborers In making toward the scow saw
Platers barrow on the gangway plank. A
search for the one who should have been
in charge was made, but success was not
met with. Fearing a drowning, the men
about began to scour the river in the vi
entity. Around on the far side of the scow
floating on the water was seen his hat.
Platter had evidently lost his balance on
the plank and gone over. Search for the
body is going on.

German Eand Concert.-The organization
styled the Imperial Military Band gave a
performance at Metzerott Hall yesterday

gun until about o'clock. owing to the
protest Of The performers over the meager-

approval. Mr.. A. Schierra played 1.-The

heard with evident pleasure.
