A Young Woman Living on Nor.
ton Street Murdered for
Her Money.
An Unknown Assassin Ckoked Her
With Cloth and Escaped
Unobserved.

May "Smith," young woman, was
strangled last night about midnight in a
little room at 1851 Morton street, near
Stockton. by some man who afterward
stole the money she had concealed in her
stocking. No noise accompanied the
crime.
The murderer after choking his victim
went out of the front door of the room un-
observed. He left no trace behind him.
and there is as yet no clew to his identity.
The girls real name is unknown. Her
people reside in this City. She lived at
$50 Geary street with Jack Smith, a man
without any occupation. She provided
for both.
The young girl was seen about IL 80
O'Clock by her chum, May Howard, who
occupied room opposite. About mid
night the Howard girl noticed that the
Smith girls door remained shut It was
not opened until 1:15 when l.. Spines,
who has charge of the rooms, entered and
!ound the girl lying unconscious on the
ped. lie called woman and DR.. Quinlan
was summoned and found the girl was
dead.
The murderer had called upon the girl
and when the opportunity presented he
selzed her by the throat and sitting ner
CRIES with one hand, choked her to death
with the other.
Then he had tied towel tightly around
her throat. The towel was found around
her neck, but the purpiish red marks of the
strangers fingers showed how the deed
was committed.
The money the girl was known to have
possessed earlier in the evening was stolen.

COLONEL ROBINSON WEDS
He Forsakes His Bachelor
Friends for a Charm.
ing Bride.
Miss Evelyn M. Clay Takes Him for
Her Husband in the Ad-
vent Church.

Colonel T. P. Robinson broke away from
his old bachelor companions yesterday
and from his old bachelor ways and be-
came benedict. He did it very quietly,
although several of his friends who had
heard of His intentions were present at
the ceremony and gave him and his happy
bride an enthusiastic send-off after con-
graduating them on the event.
The bride was Miss Evelyn M. Clay. a
charming young lady who has been widely
known in society OF San Francisco.
Early in the afternoon the wedding was
solemniZed in the church of the Advent ON
Eleventh street, near Market. 1t was an
unpretentious ceremony. The bridesmaid
was Miss Eta Bender and the groomsman
Major III. B. Hosmer of General Warfeld' 8
staff. The only other. close friends of the
bride and groom present were Mrs. A.
Nice, sister of the bride, and DR.. Nice,
and they had the pleasure of seeing the
knot tied by a minister of the Episcopal
church.
Immediately after the wedding the party,
six persons in all, drove direct to the Cliff
House. The drive out in the beautiful
afternoon was pleasant one, so when
dinner was served at the Cliff, these happy
friends thoroughly enjoyed the elegant
menu. While still at dinner, Colonel and
Mrs. Robinson and their guests were
agreeably surprised by Cassasa's band,
which serenaded them with selection of
inspiring and appropriate music.
Mayor Sutro called upon them from the
Heights and was a welcome guest. He
spoke in q humorous vein, giving the
colonel and his bride some fatherly advice
upon the future.
Colonel Robinson is an old favorite
among votaries of baseball and other out
door sports. When baseball was at the

THAT MILITIA BILL.
Adjt. Lambert Thinks 1t a Move of
..Discharged Mems Club"

The report in the G l o b of yester-
day that a bill is being drawn and will
be presented to the legislature seeking
to abolish the positions of brigadier
general and staff and regimental staff
caused a good deal of talk among the
members of the guard and others yes
terday. Some of them did not believe
that such bill would live to reach the
governor. Lieut.. George C. Lambert,
adjutant Of the First artillery, speaking
about the matter, was inclined to think
the matter was being agitated by what
he called the Discharged Mems club, y
I was really amused" said Mr.. Lambert,
at the ignorance in national guard affairs
displayed by the man or men who discussed
the matter with the @ o be reporter. They
ought to have known that neither Gen. Bend
his staff, ,~nor any of the members of the gov
ernor's staff have ever received one cent
for their services in camp. They are COM
PEELED to arm and equip themselves out of
,theiTA private funds. 1t is not, therefore,
the states money invested in the gold lace
of thesd Aespangled officers
g6Hflege may be difference of opinion as
tor the sbest means of further increasing the
efficiency Of the national guard, but such a
movement If honestly intended, should not
rest on misstatements.'

Christmas Greeting by MacaIester's
Class of '97


The class of '97, Manchester college,
carried into execution a pretty little
scheme for giving a Christmas greeting
to its friends last evening. The class
takes it's farewell in June, and In the
desire to leave pleasing memories be-
hind, arranged holiday programme,
the numbers of which were rendered
entirely by the class before the other
students of the college and their
friends
The chapel of the college was filed
with an audience of nearly 300 people,
The stage was arranged with ever
green, holly and other decorations typi-
cal of Christmas tide. The principal
number of the programme was a read
ing of Dickens Christmas Carol by
members of the class. The celebrated
story was read in sections, each mem
ber of the class taking a portion of it.
The story of Scrooge and the ghost ap-
pealed strongly to the audience. The
members of the class who took part in
the faT&ding were Arthur A Palmer,
MISS Wfnnifred Moore, George Leck, c..
w. Hansen, A. G. WELDON, E. c. Henke,
Charles Petran, w. K. Sherwin, L. B.

AS interludes between the readings
the college male quartette, composed of
Messrs. Pinney Guise, Abels and
Clark, with Miss Lille Morton as ac-
c0mpanist. rendered a number of
Christmas carols. The concluding
number was a vocal sole by George
Leck. The programme was under the
direction of Miss Marguerite Morton.

Possible Solution of Third Ward
Troubles by the Assembly.

Notwithstanding all the gossip to
the effect that the Third ward Repub-
licans are striving to secure the cleo
ton Of George Lamb to succeed Reg
lister of Deeds-elect Krahmer in the
assembly, while Assemblyman Krah-.
mer and some of his intimate friends
want Armand Albrecht, Mr.. Krah-
mer's brother-inlaw, to succeed him,
things seem to be shaping themselves

that he is not a candidate, and it is
likewise true that, II he is, he will en-

In view of the lack of harmony in
the Third ward over this matter, it

secure Mr.. Krahmer's successor. If
that should be the case, report says
that there is no more likely a man

SUPREME COURT CAUSES DELAY,

polite. The attorney general, how
ever. was busy with the meeting of
the commission which examines the
state bonds annually, and the result
was that the Duluthians' quest was
unsatisfied.
Duluth, however, if the story told by
these men is true, is to be the next
Minnesota city to experience a wave
of Civic federation excitement 1t is
claimed that large amounts of money
have been corruptly spent there since
the agitation of the waterworks seam
dal was begun in that city. and the
special circumstances are such that it
IS. thought a number of convictions
can be secured if the matter is laid
before the grand jury. The purpose
of visiting the attorney general, how
The Saint Paul globe., 1896-12-19

ever, was that no judicial courtesy
might be violated. There is now
awaiting argument in the supreme
court the quo warranto proceedings
against the waterworks company, and
the question came up in the councils
of the men who are promoting the
Parkhurstian inquisition there, that it
might be impolitic, even if not dis
courteous to the supreme court, to stir
up the animals while the court was
considering a phase of the fight. The
question is purely one of sentiment.
1t is promised. however, that the
purifiers can show by reliable evidence
that money was paid for votes in the
special election held to determine
whether or not they should issue bonds
for building its own waterworks.
The supreme court will hear the
arguments Jan. 4.

The result Of the newsboys' benefit
Iast evening was most gratifying to all
concerned and that the boys will have

last evening and received the very
Warmest applause, but did not respond
beyond acknowledging the favor of
the gathering with bow. Leon Graves
gave an excellent imitation of the
street boys cali Of papers and had the
usual drty face which accompanies
the call. He responded to an encore
ana gave popular recitation with the
ease or veteran. He received q
second encore. The first number was
given by the orchestra, which made an

given by Misses Lamson, Bartlett,

considerably more than the paltry sum
OF $500 year. and they have accord

$3.50 each. This, of course, includes
the mayor, who is chairman of the
board.
