MANY YEARS IN SERVICE
Twenty-Fiith Anniversary oI
the San Francisco
Fusileers.
The Quarter of a Century Veterans
Were Presented With Tokens of
High Esteem.

The twenty-ffth anniversary, banquet
and ball of the San Francisco Fusileers'
Mutual Benefit Fund was held on Friday
evening at California Hall. The San
francisco Fusileers, Second Regiment of
Infantry, N. &. c., was organized on No
vembe 6, 1871. On June 1, 1881, it was re-
organized as the San Francisco Fusileers,
Battery G, Second Regiment of Artillery,
n. q. G. Again on December 7, 1895, an
other change took place and the old COM
pany became the San Francisco Fusileers,
Company l, Sixth Infantry Battalion, n.
G. C. The last change was made two
days after the last date and the body be-
came simply Company l, First Infantry
Regiment, n. G. G.
Through all these changes the mem bers
have held together and several years ago
they formed beneficiary auxiliary TO the
body known as the Mutual Benefit Fund.
| 1t is the custom to meet once a year and
have good time as in former days and
such was the nature of the last anniver-
sary reunion. at the banquet table every
| thing that could tempt the appetite was
TO be found. The opening remarks were
made by Major A. Huber and the toast
| THE Steamship Fearless was responded
| 10 by Captain L. Siebe. Charles Thier-
| bach responded to "The Benefit Fund.-
and Major Charles Boxton to ''The
Ladies'"
There was delightful treat in store for
a mum ber of the old veterans, those who
had served in the company for the full
twenty-five years. Th-se were Captain l..
Siebe. Lieutenant David Schoenfeld, Her
man Paulsen, D. bunker, Charles Thier-

sileers Major Charles Boxton was also
well remem bered. He was presented with
beautiful sword, belt and spurs. After

NO VAL UABLES FOUND.
Mysterious Disappearance OF
Mr.. Seeligsohn's Watch
and Diamonds.
But the Autopsy Shows Asphyxiation
by Subm ersion and No Mark
of Violence.

Some myterious circumstances sur
rounding the death of the young attorney,
Michael Seeligsohn, whose body was
found floating in the bay near Goat Island
last Saturday evening by yachtsmen, yet
remains to be cleared up.
The young man habituslly wore dia-
mond ring, diamond stud, and carried a
gold watch and chain. When the body
was pocket-knife. two white metal cases
and one or two other pocket trinkets. He
was also known to have a sum of money.
The fact that all the valuables are missing
supports the claim of the family and
friends OF the deceased that he met with
foul play.
Last evening Mr.. Simon, his brother-in
law, and Abe Seeligsohl, his brother. re-
fused to see reporters or further discuss
the case. 1t was stated for them that there
were no new developments in the case.
The autopsy was held yesterday at the
Morgue by Autopsy Physician Morgan. 1t
showed asphyxiation by submersion.
There were no visible marks of violence
on the body. The body has been in the
water such a length of time that it would
be difficult 10 find such marks. The
Morgue officials are still inclined to think
the case was one of suicide. One of the
main facts to support thi' theory is that
the pockets of the clothing of the deceased
were found loaded with focks, apparently
for the purpose of insuring SINGING.
The rooms of the deceased at 300 Powell
street have not yet been searched. No
letters, however, were left there by the
young attorney. Mr.. Cohnreich, the pro-
prietor, said last evening that Seeligsohn
was in good circumstances, usually in
good spirits, a young man of fine charac-
ter, not given to dissipation, and that it

Mrs. Catherine QuigIey Dies From
Injuries Received Last Wednesday.
Mrs. Catherine Quigley, widow 65
years of age, died in her home, Verona
street near Third, from the result of in
juries sustained in fall down a fight of
stairs last Wednesday. DIR. Rottanzi was
called to attend the injured woman, and
at first it was thought she would recover.
She had sustained serious internal in
juries. however, and all treatment proved
without avail. The case was reported to
the Coroner's Office, but as death resulted
solely from the result of the accident an
inquest was waived.

LUTHER'S ANNIVERSARY.

Rev. oliver C. Miller OF the Church OF
tho Holy Spirit on the Reformer.
Yesterday the four hundred and thir-
teenth anniversary of the birth OF
Martin Luther was observed in an appro-
pirate manner at the Lutheran Church of
the Holy Spirit, Jackson street near
Buchanan. Rev. Oliver G. Miller preached
an appropriate sermon on the life of the
great reformer. He quoted Luther as say
ing that the strength of nation was not
in its armies and tortifications, but in the
He SAID that Luther belonged to ali
Christendom and he himself sorrowed
that his own name should be given to any
particular church. The Augsburg confess
sioE had become the basis OF all the Prot
estant churches and could not possibly ad-
nit of that narrow Interpretation given it
by some jealous Lutherans and high
churchmen.

From Lecture by Congressman Cummings.
Like Lincoln, Greeley was
born in poverty; both were
thoroughly American and both
striking examples of develop
ment under the new republic.
Greeley came from an ancestry
that was toughened in the old
Queen Ann wars and the bat
ties of the Revolution. He got
his intellect from his mother,
who was an attentive and ON
nivorous reader. He said in af-
ter life that his mind was sti-
mulate by his mother to an un-
usual degree. "She awakened
in me thirst for knowledge"
Mr.. Greeley used to say and
fostercd the spirit of precocity
so early manifested in the
Young Greeley. He went to
school when he was only 2
years old and surprised his in
structors by his aptitude for
studies far beyond one of his
tender years.
The traits which marked Mr..
Greeley's childhood character
lied him throughout life. His
career as a boy outlined his
career as a man. In maturity
he retained all his weaknesses
and his symphaties would ever
override his judgment. When
a boy he was never afraid of
ghosts nor the graveyard by
night, but nothing could get
him to stand up in fight with
another boy. As a man, when
he was attacked by a Congress
man, he stood and took his
punishment without fighting
back.
Greeley had an Unsuitable
thirst for knowledge. He read
the newspaper which his father
took. but which only served as
a stimulus to his intellectual
appetite. He secured the coun-
