Her HUSBAND IS WANTED.
The PECULIAR CASE OF MRS.
ALEXANDER 0STLIN AND
HER Boy.
ING HOSPITAL FOR OVER
A WEEK.

1t looks as if Mrs. Alexander Ostlin has
been deserted by her husband, although
she is inclined to believe that he has been
''shanghaied" or drowned
Her case is sad one. She was recently
sent to the Napa asylum as she had shown
signs of insanity. About fortnight ago
her husband, who was mate of the schooner
Twilight. went to see her, and she pleaded
SO strongly with him to take her home as
she was hungry to see her boy again, that
he consented, and obtained permission
from the asylum authorities to allow her
to go on parole.
They came to the city and secured rooms
at the lodging house, lis Sixth street, their
5-year old boy being with them. On
Friday morning, March s, Ostlin left the
house but did not return at night as usual.
Next day Mrs. Ostlin and her boy wandered
around in search of him and finally came
to the City Hall She was acting SO
queerly that policeman took her and the
boy to the Receiving Hospital. There
they have remained ever since, but Ostlin
has not called to see them, nor have any of
his friends seen him since Saturday week,
when he drew his pay. He is well known
along the water front, and at one time was
master of the schooner Mayfower.
DR.. Somers Immediately notified the
asylum authorities that she was in the hos
pital and received a reply the following
day that they would send for her, but they
have not yet done so.
A gentleman living at 73S Green street,
where Mrs. OStlin roomed before being
sent to Napa, has been her only visitor at
the hospital. He learned from her on
Friday that she has two brothers named
Nelson, who are well-to-do farmers near
Petaluma, and another brother who has a
hotel in jacksonville. He wired to Pet
aluma and received a reply on Saturday
that one of her brothers would be in the
city either Saturday night or yesterday,
but he had not made his appearance at the
hospital up to last night.
Mrs. Ostlin is a quiet, reserved little
woman and shows no evidence of insanity
The boy is bright little fellow and is a
general favorite at the hospital His
fathers absence is all the more remarkable
as he was passionately fond of the boy.

them at 1:45 A. N. and they were then in
the best OF spirits. AT the corner of Sacra-

joked for time and then separated. Cora
Everett was about ~ years of age and has
played on almost every variety stage in
the State. She left her husband to take up
with Rice, and as the latter was never d.

ago they must have been married since
then if at all. They worked in the Bottle

the Elite last week. Rice was very Jealous

The attention of the police was attracted

the bloody deed was committed was found

Rev. William II. Moreland preached an
impressive sermon at st. Luke's Church
yesterday from the text, 1.-THE wages of sin
is death, but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord He said :
This is not metaphor or figure of
speech. 1t is actually so, that the wages
of sin is death. A large establishment en-
ploying many hands has various places
where the help are paid. The devil mas a
variety of pay-tables. Men do not go up
in a herd to be paid. The devil Classics
them. The open saloon is one of the
devils pay tables where the poor man gets
paid very soon. The gilded halls of vice
the low resort, the gaming-table, the jails
and scaffolds are places where Satan paws
the wages which his servants earn. The
standard coin is devisible into many
fractional coins. The standard coin of the
kingdom of evil is death, but it is not all
paid at once. Little by little, as man earns
it, the devil pays it, first poverty, or suffer
ing, or disease, but when it is added I'D, il
will be found that the wages of sin in eyery

A Sad Death.

Last Friday evening about twelve
railroad men who are at work repair.
ing the tract near jennings, went in
bathing in a deep hole in the Prairie
Dog. When they dressed they found
a pile of clothing remaining, and upon
inquiry found that they belonged to a
young man named John Roberts, who
was engaged in breaking on the con-
struction train. Search was at once
instituted for the missing man, and
his body was not found until Sunday
afternoon, when it came to the sur
face. The remains were taken to his
fathers home near Clayton. Mr..
Roberts was a very promising young
man Of about twenty-three years, and

night, and again at day break Sun

the work was done and the body
found, they again LAID down the man

horribly crushed by the wheels. His

was on the train hurriedly bound up
his injuries, and DR.. Wallace was
sent for. The wounded boy for he
was but sixteen, was taken to the
waiting room where Dr's. Wallace
and Fisher did all that could be done
to ease him in his agony, for he was
sadly mangled. The right foot was
cut off, and the leg crushed to the

in his back, as 1t was crushed in. At

death he told of his fathers address,
