Large Republican Meeting at
San Francisco.

STOCKTON, Oct. 1O.-At $50 o'clock
last night the home of James Gardiner
at Oakdale caught fire after the ex-
plosion of coal-oil lamp and was soon
wrapped in flames. Mr.. Gardiner and
his twelve-year-Old son were the sole
occupants of the premises. The former
was reading when the accident oc-
Cured and the latter was in bed asleep
When the explosion took place the
father became greatly excited, his
clothes having caught fire, and While
endeavoring to save himself from being
burned to death he forgot all about his
sleeping son. He rushed out OF the
house, his clothing in flames. He man
aged to extinguish the fire about his
person. and then he suddenly remem-
bered his boy.
: Gardner attempted to get back into
the burning building to save hisson. The
townspeople saw the folly of his act ana
tried to restrain him. He struggled
desperately, but was finally OverpOw-
cred
When the house had been completely
destroyed by the flames, and it was as
certained that young Gardner had per-
ished, the father hurried away to the
river, vowing that he would take mis-
own life. The crowd followed him and
friends succeeded in saving him before
he plunged into the water. On the way
back to town Gardner became raw
ing maniac, and is now dangerously
violent.
The wife of Gardner and his eldest son
were in church when the accident oc-
Cured. The mother is almost insane
from grief.

CASE OF THE CASTLES.
Their Attorney Admits That th'
Woman is Guilty.

NEW YORK, Oct. 10.-A dispatch to
a morning paper from London concern
ing the arrest there of Mr.. and Mrs.
Castle, says:
Their solicitor frankly admitted Mrs.
Castles guilt. Michael Abrahams, their
solicitor who is lawyer Of wide expe-
rience and great ability, declared to-
day: II have had her examined by
some specialists in mental disorders.
and have no doubt that the Judge will
admit that her symptoms are such as
to warrant a defense of kleptomania.
She suffers from a pain In the head,
from complete loss of memory, and
from other singularities which accord
ing to medical science are known to be
frequently associated with delusions.
Her case will be decided in month or
six weeks. We shall apply for bail for
her again next Wednesday, and ! hope
she will be released on the bond we can
offer. The whole fact of the matter is.
in short, that Mrs. Castle did take these
articles, but her husband is perfectly
innocent of any knowledge whatever Of
her doing So"
LONDON, Oct. 10.-Letters and tele-
grams Of sympathy with Mr.. and Mrs.
Castle, the Americans arrested on a

BILE furs, continue to arrive at the

welt in behalf of Mr.. and Mrs. Castle,
and the Scotland Yard authorities also
approve his course.
A London physician who recently at
tended Mrs. Castle professionally will
testify when the case comes up in the
Great Marlborough-street Police Court
en- Tuesday, October 18th, that Mrs
Castle has been suffering from acute
headache and a feeling Of intense
fatigue, although she has not under
gone any exertion.
Secretary Roosevelt visited Mr. and
Mrs. Castle in Holloway Jail last even
ing. He found the husband completely
broken. down. Mr.. Castle said to Mr..
Roosevelt that he wished to thank his
many friends in the United States and
England for their many kind 1esses, and
to assure them that confidence in them
was not misplaced. Mrs. Castle is
very much depressed and suffered to-
day from acute pains in the head. It
was impossible to hold any interview
with her for any length of time, and

T. 4. GOODMAN VERY ILL.
LITTLE HOPES OF HIS RECOVERY
ENTERTAINED.
One of the Best.KnOwn Men in Rail.
road Circles in the United
States.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct lot. H
! Goodman, General Passenger and
Ticket Agent of the Southern Pacific
Company, is lying seriously Ill at his
apartments in the st. Nicholas Hotel
In fact, his condition had reached
such a critical stage this morning that
his attendants entertained little hope OF
his recovery.
The expected end of Mr. Goodman's
long and honorable career has been a
enjoyed the veteran railroad mans ac-
euaintance and many were the anxious
inquiries made at the hotel this morn
ing concerning his condition.
kilograms have also been pouring in
from the East, where he is as well
known as here, and where the news OF
his sickness has been sent by local
sympathizers.
Fearing that the end was near the
Southern Pacific officials this morning
advised the sick mans relatives in the
East in order to prepare them for the
worst.
Mr.. Goodman has not been a well
man for number of years. About six
years ago he was attacked with rheu-
matte gout and has since had several
severe attacks. About a year ago he
was confined to his rooms for some
time, but finally recovered, although
not to the extent his physician desired.
Five years ago his wife died and the
less of his life's companion was a hard
blow to him, and in fact II is supposed
to have aided greatly in the breaking
down OF his once strong constitution.
Mr.. Goodman's loss would be a severe
cne to the railroad world, in which he
has been prominently identified forty
six years. He entered the railroad SER
vice in 1850 as General Freight and
Ticket Agent of the Lafayette and In
dianapolis Railroad. a position which
he held until 1857, when he accepted a
similar position from the Sandusky.
Mansfield and Newark Railway. In
1865 he was appointed General Passen-
ger Agent of the Atlantic and Missis-
sippi Railroad, and in 1867 he made
another change to the passenger de-
partment Of the Cincinnati, Sandusky
ard Cleveland Railroad.
On December II, 1868. he entered the
service of the Southern Pacific as its
General Passenger and Ticket Agent,
and he has since held the position in a
most creditable manner.
Mr.. Goodman also served his country
as soldier during the war and has of
late years been a most active member
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic and
the Loyal Legion. being a Past Grand
Commander Of both organizations. The
gentleman Is also high Mason.
Mr.. Goodman Is native. Of Mount
Morris, N. T., and is 66 years old Dur
ing his long career he was never known
to have had an enemy, which is q
record to be proud Of, considering the
many trying circumstances that have
at times surrounded him IN the per-
fcrmance OF his official duties.

1t appears that he had taken anti
