FERNANDEZ IS GRATEFUL.
The Deckhand Addresses the
Officers of the Children's
Society.
Suitable Testimonial of Regard TO the
Memory of General John
McComb.

81 am proud of my medal and most
grateful for having the right TO wear it.
Though I know nothing of speechmaking,
I am sure you gentlemen will understand
me. During life I shall wear my medal
whenever 1 want to look my best, and
after my death hope 1t will be buried
with my body"
Thus did Gus Fernandez address the
directors of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children at their meeting
yesterday afternoon. Though his Ian
guage sounded strange to English ears,
his meaning was plain, and the directors
responded to his expression of gratitude
by pressing his hand.
'I am sure" remarked President Sonn-
tag, that the first presentation OF the So
ciety's medal has been made to a brave
man who well deserved it, His courage
Gus forgetfulness of self in the prom pt
rescue of Mrs. Mitchell and her son when
they were in imminent peril of drowning
clearly merited some special recognition
from this society. l hope this event II
his life may inspire him to the repetition
of similar deeds of bravery and mercy
and serve as an example to Others"
Fernandez, his face aglow with satisfac-
ton, albeit somewhat confused at the
praises ShoWered upon him, took his de-
parture amid burst of applause, and the
business of the meeting was resumed,
1t was decided that a medal be awarded
to James Fulton Shepard of Alameda, the
young man who saved boy of u years
named Willie Durant from drowning.
The circumstances of the rescue were
fully detailed in The CALL of the follow
ing morning.
The special committee appointed to
draft resolutions of respect to the memory
of the late General McComb, former secre-
tary of the society, presented the follow
ing, which was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. The late General John McComh
brought 10 the discharge of his duties as secre-
tary of this society all the advantages acquired
by long and varied experience; and whereas
his familiarity with the care OF public wards
his long connection with the public press and
with courts of law all contributed in making
up his special fitness for the position. AS an
evidence of appreciation by this board tits
RESOLVED That in the death of its late secre-
tary, John McComb, the Society for the Pre-
vention OF Cruelty TO Children sustains q direct
and a great loss, and that it is no reflection
upon the capacity of his successor that this
board regarded the loss as almost irreparable
ReSolUed, That this memorial and these reso-
lutions be spread upon the minutes OF the
board and copy thereof be furnished to the
family of the deceased, and that a CODY be
offered to the press OF this City.

Strange Testimony Given in a

cation.
S R. Mount Makes a Startling Charge
Against DR.. Edward III.
Patterson.

The suit of S. r. Mount saloon
keeper of this City, against DR.. E. NJ.
Patterson of Oakland, which was tried be-
fore Justice of the Peace Carroll yester-
day, brought out some startling testimony
regarding the means by which young
nan now confined at San Quentin was
sent there.
When DR.. Almon Lull died at Berkeley
in 1894 he left an estate of $4,000, of which
$1,000 was left in trust to a son, James
Lull, who was to receive the interest The
executors were Mrs. Lull, the physicians
wife, and DR.. Patterson, and the bulk of
the estate was left to two daughters, MRS.
Maria A. Plat and Mrs. Susan N. Nye.
Later Mrs. LulI died, cutting her son off
with dollar.
Not being able to get the money left
him by his father young Lull, who ap-
pears to have been wild, forged the name
of DR.. Patterson to a check on the Central
Bank of Oakland for $45 and induced
Mount to cash it. The forgery was dis
covered ana Lull was arrested. At the
trial of the suit yesterday Mount testified
that after Luli's arrest DR.. Patterson came
to him and said that the young man was
worthless and that his sisters wanted him
safely locked up in San QuenGn, and that
ne, Dr. PATTERSON, was also anxious LOT
that.
According to Mount, DR.. Patterson
agreed to return him the $45 obtained by
Lull if he would use every endeavoI to see
the young man landed in prison.
After Lull was safely in prison on a
three years sentence Mount says that DR..
Patterson refused to make good his prom
Use of payment and the suit was the result.
The defense put in no testimony, relying
on technical grounds TO knock out the
complaint, and the Justice took the mat
ter under advisement.

form,

DR.. James I. Stanton, the Railroad Com
missioner, is looked upon by the Buck
ieyltes as their angel, because they think
he is the only man in their faction who.
as head OF their ticket, would make even
the local campaign.
The Buckleyites insist on him taking
the tn. nomination for Mayor, and yesterday,
a a some weeks of hesitation, he spoke
favorably to his friends of accepting the
nomination, and promised to give posi-
tive answer to-day.
The buckleyites propose, if they get
Cnnnce to run a ticket at all, to play the
dollar limit and lower gas and water rates
as the chlet features of their platform. All
the nominees for Supervisors will be
pledlged to, the dollar limit. This pledge
applies only to public municipal taxation.

THE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES
The Primary Was Quiet, Although
the Suffers Ran Out of Bal
lots South of Market.

The Buckley primaries for the election
of delegates to the municipal convention,
which will meet in B'nai Birth Hall to-
morrow night and for the nomination OF a
Legisla tive ticket, were pretty largely at
Nended and with the additional and usual
resource of voting ballots in punches
several thousand votes were rolled up.
What rows occurred were little ones
and due mainly to steam beer. AS with
but few exceptions the tickets had been
properly decided on with the aid of
Buckeyes advice beforehand. there were
contests in but few districts. The princi-
pal one was in the Seventeenth Senatorial
District, where Police Court Clerk Law
renee Buckley OF the Twenty eighth As
sembly District and Thomas +. Egan of
the Street Department and the Twenty
ninth District were hot rivals for the
Senatorial nomination.
Egan had his district solid for him, and
Larry Buckley was just as solid across
Third street. Both sides voted every bal
lot that could be rustled up, if not more,
and though the vote was really large,
especially in the Twenty-eigh nth. the con-
test depended mainly on the supply of
ballots. Up in the Twenty-ninth. at
1rish-American Hall, the inspector would
open and inspect any large punches of
ballots offered by voter he was not quite
sure of, and down at First and Howard
streets Mr.. Buckley's interests were
looked after just as faithfully. Each side
sent watchers and challengers to the
others district, and in each district the
enemy was thrown out and chased away
from the polls.
The Egan election officers in the TWEEN
ty-ninth counted 975 ballots. threw out s
and credited Egan with 952 In the Tween
ty-eighth 961 ballots were taken from the
box, and at midnight no votes for Egan
had been found. Itwas thought last night
that Buckley would have the most votes,
and that Egan would contest the election.
There were no other contests for Senator
ial nominations, and there were contests
for the Assembly nomination in but three
districts. The Senatorial ticket is as fol-
lows:
Seventeenth District-Lawrence Buckley.
Nineteentn-W. j. Bell.
Twenty d. Powers.
Twenty-third-D. ]. Mccarthy.
wenty-ffth-George +. Callaghan.
The nominations for the Assembly are
as follows:
Twenty-eighth District-Lawrence J. Conlon
Twenty ninth-James J. Meagher.
Thirty -frst-T. E. Treacey.

 DANBURY FAIR.
 The exhibition of cattle was unusually fue. The sheep pens were filled with choc animals of the different breeds. The exhibit of farm machinery was un- usually large. The exhibition of farm produce was good. The decorations in the tents and buildings gave everything clean, fresh, appearance. To get any idea of the greatness of the Danbury fair one must attend and spend 8 day or two to begin to see it's greatness. The writer has neither the time nor space to give notice to the full exhibition. The fair this year was, so far as the public could judge, conducted on a higher plane of morality. The fair officials appeared to be at all times of the day on the alert and ready to suppress all games and shows not conducted with decency and good order or according to law. The old ser- pent intempcrauce now and then showed it's head. Gamblers were numerous but were shy of the police. They played their games but few minutes in the same locality. The cattle-yards was favorite place of business for them this year. Three or four were in the gang and managed to fl 3ece few fools who were confident they could win pile and beat the gamblers at their own game. If per sons were very sharp they would stand l in the background a few minutes. Then they coald pick out the winners in the game who were the gamblers themselves. But little complaint was heard about pickpockets. A few detectives scooped them in or drove them from the town, Over F, GOO attended the fair on Thurs day, which was the biggest day of the week. Most of the visitors were out of town people. Thousands of teams cover. ed acres of hitching ground where many hundreds of people enjoyed their noon day meal. The hitching grounds was also the rounding up place for families both noon and night. Every farmers wagon brought ln box or basket o1 smack composed of chicken, boiled ham, nice biscuit, cakes, puddings, tea, coffee, etc. It does one good,to attend our towI and county fairs and enjoy one day ii the year with our families of children and grandchildren.

A BUSY STORE.

It is unusual in these dull times to find such variety, but there is one at 63 Fairfield avenue, Bridgeport. Naturally you ask why is this store busy when others have little to do? The reason is plain, MT Northrop carries large line of salable goods and sells for popular prices His stock of sheet music, music foliosa and instruments is the largest in the city, and prices the lowest. He has just received a large lot of music folios, board covers which are never sold for less than $1 to g.. He offers these for 75c, and makes an extra discount to teachers. He sells a snap shot camera for $1. He has a large assortment of photo frames for very low prices, and framed pictures to order in any styles desired. You can buy at this store as good fountain pen as is manufactured for $1. He has 8 new note paper for members of the Y. F s. 0. E. with monogram on each sheet
 Elegant large dolls with four sets of suits for 25c. He buys, sells and exchanges second hand school books. When you
