loses her Oldest citizen. Giovanni was 104
years old, and as his mother died when he
was years of age, he has lived just an
even century since that event.
Aglus was in possession of his faculties
till few weeks ago and gave no sign of
dying of old age, but several days ago he
was attacked with dropsy and soon the old
man passed away. He died at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Hannegan 604 Filbert street.
Giovanni was born at Malta in 1892, and
came to this country when he was years
of age. In the war of 1872 he was soldier
and remembered till few months ago all
the details of those eventful times. Years
ago, in the early fifties, Agius came to Cali
fornia in the ship Thompson, of which he
was second mate. He deserted, like thou
sands of others, and rushed to the gold
mines, and although then a comparatively
old man he took quite fortune out Of the
earth. While in Seattle, twenty years ago,
Agius was robbed of what little money he
had boarded and since then he has been a
broken-down peddler.
While in the possession of his health up
| to about year ago, he made living by
selling fruit, and his face was familiar to
thousands of people, especially in the
West Oakland neigh hborhood. Some time
ago the aged man was found by CALL
| man in o shanty near the water front. His
old horse shared the barn, and more
miserable place could not be pictured. A
sack OF rags had been his bed Tor years;
| and the neighbors said that even what food
| he received was first used to feed the old
| quadruped.
Throughout all his long life Giovanni
never forgot the lessons of piety that he
| learned in early life. For over half CEN
| tury before his death he wore a rosary
around his neck and never failed to make
daily use of it. The beads have been so
| long around his neck that there is groove
| in the old mans flesh which was made by
| the beads having been SO closely buttoned
| around his neck. Agius used to say that
| the Archbishop of Malta gave him the
rosary more than lifetime ago.
After the publication of his story and
his abiect destitution Giovanni was taken
in charge by the Catholic Ladies Aid
| Society, and from that time till he
breathed his last was probably the most
comfortable and devoid OF anxiety in all
his long life.
After the ladies took the old mans well
| fare in hana, papers in his possession
| showed that his real namo was not J ohm
Rogers, but Giovanni Agius.
| Although everything possible was done
| for him, his vitality was almost gone, and
when dropsy appeared it could not be re-
sisted.
Agius' appearance, even in death, is that
! of a well-preserved man of about 70 years
old. He Is little under six feet in height
and he had good crop of hair to the last.
His teeth were perfectly sound, and the
man must have lived very careful and
abstemious life to reach such a long score
of years. The funeral will be held to-
morrow, and the Catholic Ladies' Aid
| Society. who took charge of him in life,
will also see to the old mans burial.

at the Hearing Of the
Adams Petition.
WAS THE WIFE OF DR.. DAY.
The Wife's Prayer for Alimony and
Counsel Fees Is Argued and
Submitted.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
9OS Broadway. March 16.


Fred Adams attorney presented strong
affidavit to-day in support of his suit to
have his marriage annuIled. 1t affirmed
that at the time the cIandestine marriage
took place the woman he was wedding as
Miss Anita Day was known as the wife of
DR.. Day OF San Francisco, and had so de-
clared herself.
The proceedings to-day consisted of the
hearing of Mrs. Adams petition for ali
mony and counsel fees. She sets forth
that she is in st. Louis without funds,
whereas her husband (Adams) is rich and
can easily afford to contribute to her sup
port. A second affidavit sets forth that
she is Adams truly welded wife. and as
such is entitled to the assistance sought.
Attorney Fox claimed the affidavits only
replied to one allegation of the plaintiff.
The defendant asserted she is the wife of
young Adams. This he denied, and as
serted that the marriage which had been
performed between his client and the de-
fendant is void, because at the time she
was the wife of a man named Day, who
was alive at the time and who is yet alive.
Mr.. Fox read an affidavit signed by
w. ]. Harris setting forth that the affiant
knows the defendant, and that at the time

in and breeder OF Shetland ponies, as we'll
as dairyman. His family home was at
2220 Alameda avenue.
Mrs. Ingram's complaint is unique
document. For the past two years de-
fendant has treated plaintiff cruelty. He
was possessed of several ponies, and COM
PEELED her to clean and harness them
when he desired to drive them. If she was
not quick enough about it he would curse
her and apply to her most opprobrlous
epithets. In November, 1894, defendant
threatened to do her great bodily injury,
and terrified her by his attempts. He in
sisted on keeping dogs and chickens In the
family dwelling-house, and by his violent
actions compelled her to flee several times,
onlyto be pursued, grabbed by the arm
and brought back again with curses. In
January, as she alleges, he ordered her out
of the house, telling her she should have
gone long ago. Ingram gets $50 month,
and his wife wants him to provide Tor her
wants and furnish the means of carrying
on the suit.
Object of the League.
ALAMEDA, CAL, March 16.-It is now
explained why some citizens of Alameda
organized municipal ownership league.
Ostensihly it is to agitate and make popu-
lar the owning by municipalities OF elec-
trio light and water works. 1t was not
seen at first why such move should origl-
nate in Alameda, for this City already
owns its light plant; but an attempt has
been made to go into the business OF sell
ing incandescent lights to private con-
sumers. This has been enjoined and it is
believed the suit to perpetuaily restrain
will succeed under the present law. The
league is formed as the first of series
having for its object the changing of the
law so that cities will be permitted to sell
light.

worthy, and Mr.. Kiely's effort was loudly
applauded.
Aloysius P. Mal]on recited an extract

''On these grounds" said Mr.. Fox, "I
am opposed to granting the motion, and

ter. The case is not one of divorce, but an
action to set aside marriage that was
both null and void. The woman had and
has another husband still living, and she
is not now and never has been Adams
wife. The motion is further opposed on
the ground that alimony can be granted
only as between husband and wife, and as
that relation never existed between plain

be denied"
