never seen Baldwin paying any attention
to Miss Ashley and had never seen them
together She also had seen Miss Ashley
return with Mr.. Falvey after going out
riding with her brother.
On the evening which her brother had
mentioned in his testimony she had seen
Miss Ashley and Mr.. Falvey embracing
each other on the veranda- She had seen
them through the window OF her own
apartment Mrs. Alverson went down
stairs, but did not find Miss Ashley and
Falyey there. A few minutes later the
two returned, and Mrs. Herold, Baldwin's
daughter, laughingly said she had driven
them in.
On cross-examination, Mrs. Alverson
admitted that she came to this State about
twenty wears ago with her husband, Ly-
man A. Frisbv She did not remem Der
when, where or by whom she had been
married to him. She married a second
husband after she came to California.
She had forgotten not only where and
when she married him, but who he was.
Later she remembered his name was
Comstock-Joe Comstock, she thought.
Mum ber three was w. Reisner, with whom
she lived at Tahoe. She also lived at
Tahoe with Frank D. Alverson, her fourth
and last matrimonial partner.
She, had known Mr.. Baldwin long
time. She had stopped at the Baldwin
Hotel for a long time. she did not re-
mem ber whether or not She mad stopped
there with her husband.
In 1898, when she was living at the Oak
wood, she was Mrs. Reisner. She did not
remember of having had much to do with
Reisner while she was at the hotel. How
ever, her recollection of seeing Miss Ash
lev and Falvey together was quite clear.
She had seen them riding together, but
saw nothing improper IN It,.
On the evening when she had seen Miss
Ashley and Falvey together on the YER
anca they were kissing. They also saw
her, but said nothing about it. Miss Al
yerson had told it to her brother, but had
not suggested to him to turn them out of
the house. Like her brother, she thought

THE COACH rs CLIFTON'S
His Lordship Denies Having Given His
Prize Vehicle to "White Hat
McCarty.

From claim filed with Sheriff Wieland
yesterday it would appear that white
Hat" McCarty, the man of the woolly
beaver, is not the owner of that famous
coach that J. Talbot Clifton once drove as
passenger conveyance from this City to
Burlingame, but merely holds it in trust
for his patron. When Clifton left for Eng
land, McCarty gave out with a great
flourish of trumpets that he had been
made a present of the coach, while his son
had been made glad by present of "his
Lordship's" horses.
The boast acted quite differently than
McCarty had intended, for his creditors,
who had long been vainly waiting for
something with which TO satisfy their
claims, pounced on the gorgeous vehicle
and attached it for 1852.
Now Clifton, by an attorney. has made
claim to the coach as his own personal
property, and says that McCarty never
owned it.
A similar claim was filed day or two
ago to the furniture of Clifton's Maison
Richie apartments, which, McCarty said,
after Clifton's departure, had been pre-
sented to him, and which was also at
tached by an eager creditor of the former
horseman.

The Former Third Mate of the City of

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
was sued in the Justice Court yesterday

For this he asks $299 damages, and in a
second complaint demands $77 25 for

OUT OF THE DESERT.
Mystic Shriners Will Go to Alaska
With Their Families Next
Month.

Among the many pleasant proposed
summer excursions, the Alaska trip of the
Mystic Shriners will not be surpassed for
attention to detail of entertainment and
unique surprises in store for those par
ticipating.
The party will leave July 8, and have re-
served the best part of the steamer Queen,
which they will transform into an Oriental
floating palace, in accordance with the
traditions of their mystic rites. The
parly expects to be gone twenty-six days,
and their itinerary provides for every hour
of the trip.
The particular incentive of this Alaska
trip to the Shriners was the fact that there
is little or no night at this time of the
year in that region. 1t is to be an oasis in
the desert of life.

O'Clock yesterday afternoon the Acheson
Hotel was discovered to be on fire.

and worked until after midnight, but to

INDIAN SCHOOLS.
Catholic Archbishops Consider the SItua-
tion. but No Action Is Taken.


WASHINGTON, Get. 24.-The arch
bishops of the Catholic church were in
session throughout yesterday at the
Catholic university concerning the
general affairs of the church. The
subjects considered were mainly those
OF church organization. Mgr Stephan,
head of the Catholic bureau of Indian
missions, made statement of
the condition of the Indian
schools with a view to determp-
ing what course should be taken
when government aid should be with
drawn July next. He reported that
Sl9s,229 of the government money was
available this year-a 80 per cent. re-
duction from last year. A committee
of the archbishops. consisting of the
cardinal and Archbishops Corri-
gan. Ryan and Keane. will
further consider the Indian uues-
ton at meeting at Baltimore
to-day. The parochial school question
did not come up for consideration, as
had been expected, and the expressions
were general among members of the
board after the meeting that that sub
Ject had ceased to be a source of diff
ference or vexation. 1t is expected a
catechist of learning will be chosen to
simplify the catechism, but this will
be verbal rather than doctrinal.
