London, March 9.-The weather and
the epidemic of influenza have been
moderating recently, although thous-
ands of houses are still without water
as a result of frozen pipes and many
thousands of people are suffering from
the prevailing malady.
The present epidemic of influenza
has been more severely felt in Lon
don than in any other part of the coun-
try, and the death rate has risen, dur
ing the present week, from p per
thousand, the normal rate, to SS.5 per
thousand, remarkably high record.

Gerhard Hauptmann, whose Die
Weber" has created such political
fuss, and which has been favored with
such a splendid theatrical advertise
ment in a debate in the Reichstag, is
busy upon new work that also
touches upon the politico-ecOnomic
questions of the hour Hauptmann is
a hermit and has retired from the
world. But, he is no anchorite. He
lives at "Schreiberhau" (The authors
coppice) not far from Berlin upon a
solitary mountain of the Riesengeberg
and his retreat is not merely furnished
with the finest taste and every con-
ceivable luxury, but, it is kept in close
touch with the capital of the empire
by means of a private telephone. Oc-
casionly he descends from the clouds
and appears at Dressel's wine palace
in Berlin. Hauptmann is only 81
years old, and aims to become the
"Dramatist of the Masses" In all
he does, he preserves the end in view
the philosophic or dramatic study
of symptoms, which study is carried
on from the Schopenhauer point of
view. His father was we'll to do
Bourgeois and the son has never felt
the privations of the people whose lot
he describes. He expects TO attain
great popularity in America.

Crellin, Oakland, yesterday, under the
name OF Mrs. J. Ct. Alves. The story of
the occurrences leading to the change of
name is both amusing and exciting. The
young husband said last evening: Eyes,
| suppose that there is a great deal of COM
ment over our action, but we really
couldn't stand 1t any longer. Sadie and l
have been friends for some time, and as
We could not be married any other way
we decided TO run off, We will leave Oak
land for Los Angeles in the morning, and
expect to have a delightful honeymoon"
The story of their escape from the paren-
tSl domicile was learned from the groom
after some little persuasion. Mrs. AlYes
(nee Raymond has been the object of
Alves' burning heart-throbs for some little
time, but as he was only clerk in a San
Francisco clothing establishment and she
the heiress of several broad acres of Contra
Costa County real estate, the aforesaid
throbs had to be suppressed except on
special occasions. These events, however,
grew more and more frequent until the
paterfa miliss became aware of the visits
and forbade him the house. Loves light
burns brightest through stormy weather,
however, and he hung on.
Last Sunday afternoon he paid visit to
Penns Grove and the elopement was the
result.
Her father was not asleep, however, and
made close second when the party ar
rived at the depot. Defiant at first, the
lovers at last concluded to listen to his
commands and the prospective bride was
escorted to her home. Later the eager
Alves returned with a horse and buggy
and, like young Lochinvar, carried the
damsel off by force. AS there were no
trains at this houf of the night they were
forced to drive to Oakland and spent the
night with friend living at Berkeley.
Early yesterday morning they were mar
ried by the Rev. Mr.. Jonas of the Baptist
church, and are now en- route to the sunny
south.
Mr.. Raymond also arrived in this city
by aybreak, and in no amicable m God has
been looking for the pair. He threatens
to have Alves arrested for kidn aping, but
a warrant was refused him on the ground
that the girl was of age. The couple say
that they will return to San Francisco
about the 1st of May, when the parental
opposition is expected to have lulled. They
will reside in this city, where they are
well known in prominent social circles.

case with the testimony of plaintiff. He
told how Emerson had approached him in
front of his office on the afternoon OF De-
cember 5, and handed him q letter, with
the request that he open the same and
read it at once. AS he was about to COM
ply with the request Emerson drew re-
volver and fired, but missed his mark, ow-
ing to the fact that his arm was thrown up
by plaintiff, who grappled with his as
sailant.
Other witnesses for the prosecution and
eyewitness of the assault were: Il.
Seligman, C. B. Sloane, II. w. Thomas,
w. H. Williams and II. s. Hutchens::
They all recounted the circumstances OF
the shooting as related by Lowenthal.
Emerson was put on the stand, and got
the attorneys into squabble at the very
opening of his examination.
Hosmer asked him where he got the
weapon that he tried to use on Lowenthal,
which question he promptly refused to an
swer, upon advice of his counsel. Hosmer
insisted, but could not get ruling, and
finally asked for an intermission of ten
minutes in which to gather authorities on
the subject. The request was granted by
the court, and when the hour of adjourn
ment arrived the Assistant District Attor-
ney was still citing authorities to strength
en- his position. The case will be resumed
this morning.

JACOB BACON IS DEAD.
The WeIl-knoWn Printer Was
Asphyxiated While in
His Bed.
When He Finished Reading He
Turned the Gas Off and Then
on Again.

Jacob Bacon, president of the well known
printing-house ofBacon & Co., was found
asphyxiated in his bed yesterday morning.
The death is said to have been accidental,
and that will probably be the conclusion
arrived at by the Coroner's jury.
The deceased has of late years been
troubled with insomnia. To be free from
all disturbances, he occupied small room
in the rear portion of the house. When he
could not sleep it was his custom to turn
up the gas and read. When found yester-
day morning book was lying on his
breast, and the supposition is that he was
reading, and having grown sleepy he
turned out the gas and then accidentally
half turned it on again.
On arising in the morning Mrs. Bacon,
On entering the hall, detected strong
smell of gas. She went into her sons
room, finding everything all right tn ere;

The Council, therefore, declined to make

the rush of gas. She turned off the jet,
threw open the window and then at
tempted to arouse her husband; but he
was beyond help. The body was removed
to the Morgue, but no autopsy was made,
as death is supposed TO be the result of an
accident. The deceased was 60 years old,
and leaves widow, daughter and son.

Mass, and came to San Francisco in 1852.

partner and the firm was known as Towne
Il Bacon, proprietors of the Excelsior
Printing. house Later on Mr.. Towne also
retired and Bacon took in as partners X.
Stearns and James Il. Ager, and the name
was changed to Bacon d Co. Soon after
this Mr.. Stearns withdrew and in 1893 the
firm incorporated with Mr.. Bacon as presi-
dent.
The deceased had the reputation of be-
ing one of the brightest managers in the
printing business. He started Langley's
Directory and for many years printed 1t.
Sixteen years ago he got into a conflict
with the Typographical Union and fought
it for twelve years. About four years ago,
however he gave in and Bacon d Co. be-
came union Office. He had been an old
member of Eureka Union, and it was on
that account that the fight was kept up
with so much bitterness On both sides.

On the Other Foot.

Sometimes there are boomerangs in marital
matters in the courts as well as in the home.
That is what Jennie Hansen, no doubt, thought
yesterday. Some months ago she entered suit
for divorce from her husband, Andrew ?. Han
sen. She alleged sundry reasons why she
should be released. Mr.. Hansen not only de-
MED the charge, but said he had been willfully
deserted by his wife. The result OF this family
difference was that Judge Trout granted the
divorce to the husband instead of to the wife.
