UNREQUITED LOVE.
Why James Godfrey, Marine Fireman
Was Badly Beaten by Two
Young Men.

Thomas Tracy and Peter O'Keefe ap-
peared in Judge Conlan's court yesterday
to answer to a charge of assault with
deadly weapon, but the case was con-
tinued, as James Godfrey, the com planning
witness, was not yet able to leave the hos
pital.
Godfrey was suffering from erysipelas,
and few days ago it was thought that he
would die, but he was rapidly recovering
yesterday and will have to answer to
charge of mayhem.
The trouble arose out of Godfrey's pas
sion for Catherine Nugent, the keeper OF
private boarding house at % Minna street.
Godfrey is marine fireman and when IN
the City pressed his suit upon Miss
Nugent, but she gave him no encourage
ment, as she preferred Tracy.
One day last January Godfrey forced his
way into Miss Nugent's room and de-
manded that she should marry him at
once. She refused and he threatened to
kill her. Her screams brought assistance,
and Godfrey was taken to the City Prison.
He was fined for disturbing the peace.
He left Miss Nugent alone until last
Friday, when he again forced himself into
her room and demanded that she should
marry him. She screamed for help and
Tracy and O'Keefe ran to her assistance.
a fight ensued, during which Godfrey took
Tracy's hand in his mouth and severely
bit it. Godfrey got the worst of the fight
and from a wound in the right arm erysip-
elias set in. Godfrey claimed that Tracy and
OKeefe struck him with an ak, but this
they denied.

UNEMPLOYED HOPEFUL,
The Men Confident of Secur-
ing Positions Through
"The Call"
Every Small Advertisement Attracts
Crowds Of Those Who Are
Seeking Work.

This City continues to be the headquar-
tiers of large numbers of unemployed men.
which fact became evident Yesterday
through an advertisement in the advertis-
ing columns of THE GALL stating that a
young man was wanted to assist at keep
ing bar in country hotel and to perform
numerous minor duties.
In event of any one seeking such posi-
ton he could have the same by applying at
a certain address mentioned in the adver-
tisement between the hours OF IL M. and
P. NJ.
Promptly at noon applicants began to
make their appearance and were all re-
ceived, without reference to age or color.
Among the crowd were men whose appear
ance bespoke their responsibility. They
mingled and iostled each other in their
anxiety to be first heard, as one man ex-
planned that be was firm believer in the
old adage that 'first come first served"
White men, colored men and even Japa-
nese were there, some young and we'll
dressed, as was required by the employer,
others old and infrm, ragged and broken
down in body and spirit, but just as anxious
to obtain the position as their younger and
more fortunate companions.
1t was estimated that during the given
hours between $50 and 200 men paid the
last one being a man who, tguratively
speaking was about lat the end of his
tether,S if appearances are to be relied
upon.
% he calculated, this is strange.
Here, just this morning, spent about an
hour looking up the help wanted column
in THE CALL, and thought l would be sure
of names that put down in my notebook
but when 1 arrived at my destina-
ton in each case there were from
fifty to 200 men ahead of me. I guess
erybody in town must take THE CALL,
but I'll fool them tomorrow and get there
before any one else, and by night feel
sure that will have position, and it will
the paper all the boys look to for informa-
ton in regard to securing a position, as
all the notices are inserted in good faith
and not by moneY-making schemers.n

MRS. f, K, GOGG|N'S WOES.
She Accuses Attorney John
M. Chretien of Improper
Acts.
A STORY OF THREE TRUNKS.
Her Husbands Clothing Was Stolen,
Too, but That Gave Her No
Concern.

The notorious Goggin case was recalled
yesterday by the arrival of circulars signed
by Mrs. Sarah W. Goggin, and stating that
John M. Chretien acted under forged
power of attorney in arranging for the for
warding of her effects to Scotland; also
that many articles of expensive wearing
apparel were missing when the trunks
arrived in bad condition and much later
than she expected them.
She further complained that ''the three
trunks were nailed up in wooden cases,
with $500 to be paid on them" and her
final statement was: "Mr. Goggin's
clothes were also stolen, but that does not
give me any concern"
These circulars were sent to Mr.. Chretien
and some of his friends. The purpose
seemed to be the double one of accusing
Chretien of fraudulent dealing and of put
ting the police on the track of the stolen
goods, list OF which accompa MED the
peculiar document.
E. K. Goggin, the husband of the lady
making the complaint, was for many years
connected with the firm of Francis & Val
entine. About year ago 1t was discovered
he had appropriated money to the amount
of $4,000 belonging to that firm. The
flight to Scotland.
Chretien gave the sequel of the story
last evening. He seemed not at all dis
turbed by the charge, but said, laughingly:
II was Mr.. Goggin's attorney for ten
years, and helped him and his wife levant,
going with them as far as Winnemucca.
They would be in San Quentin if it were
not for me, but I am the loser of $4,000
through my services for them.
"Mrs. Goggin gave me her power of at
torney in the presence of Mrs. Reid of 20
Wildey avenue, and when creditors at
tached their goods which were stored in
the Eagle warehouse 1 endeavored to COM
doing so for $500 of the debt of $500.
This took some time, however, and while
the Goggins left in July l was not able to
get the goods away until January, when
they were forwarded through the agency
of the Anglo-California Bank. They were
shipped on the steamer Progreso, going via
Panama, and l paid the freight OF SAG my
self.
George W. Allen acted as my represen.
tative when the packing was done, as l
was confined to my house by illness at the
time, and Ralph Hoitt of Baker e. Hamil-
toms did the packing.
II had no intimation that all was not
satisfactory until months later Alex Hey
neman, acting in Mrs. Goggin's behalf, in
attorney and referred him to the notary
public, whose books showed that it had
been issued. He also got the testimony of
Mrs. Reid, the witness. 1t developed that
Mrs Goggin had written to Frank Cleary,
but after an investigation he declined to
take the case, as also did Lloyd & Wood.
1.-The story In a nutshell is that she is
trying to evade the payment of the $500 to
her creditors and her only excuse is that
some of her effects were missing.
'All the papers in reference to the case
are at my Office and are at the disposal of

that satisfying character which dentists
enjoy who believe that good living is
necessary to successful career. 1t was 10
O'clock when they reached the cigars and
the speeches and the midnight hour had
tolled before they even thought of leaving.
The toasts and those responding to them

| During the busy operations of the dent
lists at clinics the groups of witnesses were
startled by loud wailing cry that made
the nervous ones shudder, but had no
effect on the dentists. A lady was losing
mouthful of teeth in the north corridor,
but she was so completely under the infu-
ence of nitrous oxide gas that, like one
who cries in sleep, she Gid not know the
of the chair with pleased expression and
hearty thanks to DR.. Bliss for painless
operation.
DR.. J. L. Assay of San Jose was to have
read a paper, but was excused owing to
the lateness of the hour ana the anxiety Of
the majority of the mem bers to attend the
banquet at Delmonico's.
The banquet was the jolliest event of the
convention. Covers were laid for forty of
the members. who, under the guiding hand
of DR.. Russell H. Cool, the new first vice
president, turned their thoughts and their
speech out of the channels of dental labor

WHITE METAL CHAMPIONS.
Leading Speakers Invited to Attend
the Local Conven-

If systematic and persistent effort
counts for anything the coming silver con-
vention called to meet in this City on the
10Th of August will be largely attended
and enthusiastic gathering.
Letters are received daily at the offices
of the Pacific Coast branch of the Ameri-
can Bimetallic League from all parts of
the State, showing that there is a keen in
terest on the silver question. Many of
these letters contain inquiries as to the
manner of forming local leagues. AS a
means of answering these communications
prom pity and comprehensively George P.
Keeney, secretary for the Pacific Coast,
has had printed a circular giving full IN
formation on this point. This and copy
of the constitution for the use of local
leagues is forwarded in answer to each
letter of inquiry and large number of
these documents, together with the call
originally issued for the convention, are
also sent to a large number of prominent
citizens throughout the State each day.
Special invitations have been sent to all
the most prominent leaders of the East in
the bimetallic movement, and it is ex-
pected to have some of the best silver
speakers in the country present here dur
ing the convention. Among those whom
| III Is cA pcCtcQ W UllLR OuI die OChOIdA
A Williamson, General A. J. Warner, SEN
ator Blackburn, w. ]. Bryan, Senators
Wolcott and Teller, and Henry Jones of
Georgia. Other speakers will probably be
Senator W. M. Stewart, Hon. Francis G..
Newlands, Hon. J. c. Sibley, Irwin G.
Stump, T. J. Clunie, John Mitchell, T. G.
Phelps, Senator Jones of Nevada and
United States Circuit Judge Henry Cald-
well.
Another measure taken by Secretary
Keeney was to have stereotype plates made
of the original call for the convention,
which have been sent to more than 100 of
the interior papers in this State.
From present indications it is expected
that there will be not less than 1000 regu-
larly accredited delegates present at the
convention, which it is proposed to have
continue in session for three consecutive
days, or even longer, if necessary.
A committee has been appointed with
instructions to wait upon the railroad peo-
pie and secure half rates for delegates to
the convention.
The place of meeting has not yet been
decided upon, but will be shortly. 1t is
the desire of the local executive committee
to secure hall that will not only accom-
modate the delegates, but the thousands
of spectators who it is expected will be at
tracted to the sessions of the convention.

high noon for group photograph and
looked as pleasant as they knew how.
The corridors were filled with interested
dentists and anxious patients at the clinic
in the forenoon. DR.. A. III. Wallace of
Oakland gave an exhibition of porcelain
face gold bridgework, using dummy jaw
having two AUDITING teeth on which to
hang the bridge. The process leaves the
front of the inserted teethswell exposed,
while the gold support is hidden in the
background.
DIR. Wallace also demonstrated speedy
and perfect extirpation of pulp from the
mouth of a patient, which he performed
with sharp stick of orange wood tipped
with carbolic acid, after the nerve had been
deadened by cocaine.
Or. J. P Parker of Santa Cruz demon
strated that condensation could be OBJ
tanned by hand pressure, filling the cavity
of an eye tooth of patient in the demon
stration.
The operation of gold building, demon
strated by DR.. A F. Merriman Jr of Oak
land, attracted every member and visitor
in the corridor. The cavity filled was a
large posterior and very difficult to reach.
The operation showed the different uses of
three mallets, the hand, automatic and
mechanical, each of which he claimed to
be necessary to the particular work for
which it is designed.
DR.. A. H Mories. of Alameda occupied
the morning hours with patient whose
teeth required the application of various
scientific instruments.

The election was held in the afternoon
with closed doors. The rivalry for the Of
fee of president began in a caucus in the
corridor. The friends of DR.. Cool for the
first honor in the association did most ex-
cellent WORK for him, but the quiet work
of the Hays faction had been done in the
early part of the convention.
An informal vote was taken as a sort of
feeler resulting Hays %, Cool 26.
Fifteen new members instantly rushed
to the secretary's desk, where they deluged
him taking their initiation fees and secured
the privilege of voting. Six of these went
to Cool and the other nine to Hays, max
ing the vote Hays 81, Cool 80.
DR.. Cool smilingly submitted and &C.
copied second place.

ANOTHER OHINAMAN SHOT.
Supposed to Be an Attempted Murder In
Retaliation for the Last One.

Supposed to Be an Attempted Murder In
Retaliation for the Last One.
Another Chinaman was hurried to the
hospital about 11:30 o'clock last night
with a bullet wound clean through him.
He will die, the doctors say, for the bullet
entered at the back, perforated the alb.
domen and emerged through the skin just
above the hip.
The wounded Chinaman is Chong Wy,
who works in store on the corner of Du-
pont and Washington streets. He was put
ting the shutters on the window last
night, when another Chinaman came up
behind him and fired one shot. Wy threw
up his hands, while his assailant fed down
Trenton street and took refuge in little
room in one of the houses there. He was
followed by two women from the Chinese
Mission, who heard the shot
The room was afterward entered by
Policeman Tannin, who arrested Mock Ely,
who was in bed. Ely was taken to the
California-street station and registered in
the small book to await Identification.
1t is supposed that the assault upon Wy
is in revenge for the murder of the China
man in Kun Cook alley early one morning
about two weeks ago.
