MRS. HAsKINs TO TESTIFY.

]. ]. Cooney has been found. Itappears
that Mr.. Cooney was not lost. Mr.. Cooney
is the ex-notary public who took the
acknowledgment of James G. Fair to the
deeds by which he transferred by gift two
pieces of property to Mrs, Nettie R. Craven.
Mr.. Cooney made his deposition before
Judge Slack. sitting as commissioner,
last Thursday. The court stenographer
said he would have his notes written out
ready to read to Mr.. Cconey that he might
sign the deposition on Saturday morning
at IL o'clock.
Mr.. Cooney did not appear, and after
waiting some time Judge Slack issued a
bench warrant, which was placed in the
hands of deputy sherlffs, who made a
search, but failed to find him, and so re-
ported.
Reports, some of them ridiculously sem
sational, were Immediately put in circula-
ton as to the disappearance" of the no
tary. 1t was even insinuated-and this in
print-that the attorneys for Mrs, Craven
had spirited Cooney away because his
story was not all straight, and they
wanted to whip tiuto shape"
The absurdity of this is apparent when
it is understood that the deposition has

court reporter all the while.
When Mr.. Cooney returned to the City
after an absence over Sunday he was a
profoundly surprised and disguised man
to learn what fuss had been made about
his going.
He repaired to the Office of Delmas &
Saortridge and explained to the attorneys
for Mrs. Craven that he had been out Of
town on business.
He had no idea, he said, that the remark
of Judge Slack, to the effect that the dep
osltion would be ready for signature on
Saturday, was mandatory. Having been
notary himself, he said. and knowing
that it was the rule to have deposition
in readiness, that witness might sign it
at his convenience, any time before the
date that it was required in court. he
really gave the matter little thought.
Some private business required him to
leave town Saturday morning and on his
way to the boat he passed some of the at
torneys for the Fair trustees, at that very
time probably on their way to court.
He will sign the deposition this morn
ing il it can be found, Judge Slack having
in the meantime left on his vacation OF
three weeks.
"Mr Cooney was an entire stranger to
me almost to the day he appeared in
court" said Mr.. Delmas. speaking OF the
matter Yesterday HE was q friend of
Heggerty, all of the other side. / was not
much alarmed about the young mans abb
sence, but if there was any KIDNAPPING
done-well, the least that may be said is
that it came with bad grace from them to
insinuate that we die it.
The deposition of Mrs. Haskins will be
taken this morning before Notary Milton
S. Latham in Lawyer John E. Richards
office. Mrs. Hasklns has to say that she
was present when Senator Fair presented
the deeds in question to Mrs. Craven.

self in the case of boy Toy. pretty Chi
nese woman 20 years 81 age, who is at
present in the City Prison on charge of
robbery.
Some months ago she was arrested for
grand larceny on complaint of her hus-
band, but managed to defeat the case, as
it was shown that it was a trumped-up
charge to get possession of her. she having
taken refuge in the Presbyterian Mission,
on Sacramento street. She had fed from
Los Angeles, as she had learned that her
husband was conspiring with highbinders
to sell her to Chinese slave-dealer in Vic
toria, B. c., for $1,000.
After her release on the grand larceny
charge she went back to her husband, who
had taken up his residence in Fresno. She
did not care to live with him and got a
situation with family there.
Her husband and some highbinders be-
gan TO prosecute her again, SO as to induce
her TO sell herself into slavery, and even
went SO far as TO apply hot irons to her
feet to torture her into submission.
She would not give into them, and few
days ago fed from Fresno. She was ar
rested here last Thursday, on her arrival,
and taken to the California street station,
thence to the City Prison. The warrant
on which she was arrested was issued in
Fresno, on complaint of her husband, and
charged her with robbery.
The Chief had the facts drawn to his at
tention, and he refused TO allow her to be
sent back to Fresno believing the robbery
charge was trumped up, like the grand
larceny charge. He is in communication
with the Fresno authorities, with the OBJ
iect of getting the warrant Withdrawn.

Masters.

A young Chinese woman RAINING down
Clay street and loudly blowing a police
whistle about o'clock yesterday morning
startled Officer McGrayn as he was
patroiling his beat through Chinatown.
When the officer approached her she
seemed very much frightened, and fed
near Washington alley, where she endeav-
ored to hide under table.
When the officer had persuaded her to
come out several Chinese came up and
told him that the girl had been drinking
and was intoxicated. They took the girl
back to the house she had fed from on
Fish alley, although she fought against
being taken back. Inside of the house
there was large crowd of men, of whom
the girl seemed very much afraid, for she
chung to the police officer and begged him
to take her away.
! When the officer attempted TO lead her
out of the house lively fight ensued be-
tween the one policeman and the crowd OF
highbinders, and in the scutfie the girl
| lost both her shoes and had her clothing
nearly torn from her body.
| The Chinese insisted that the girl was
intoxicated and demanded that the officer
take her to the California-street police sta
ton and have her booked for drunken
ness. The officer took ber to the station,
but the crowd followed him and the officer
realized that all the Cinnamon wanted to
do was to have her booked. so that they
might bail her out. Accordingly he had
her taken to the Presbyterian Mission
House, 900 Sacramento street, where Miss
Margaret Culbertson, the matron, endeav-
ored to pacify the frigh tened girl.
| Several Chinese called at the mission
yesterday to see the girl, but she was con-
fined to her bed all day in consequence of
the bruises and beating she had received
from her inhuman owners. The girl,
who is about twenty-four years OF age. is
very frail and delicate and bears marks all
over her body of the beatings and i'll treat
ment she has received.
| According to the story the girl told Mrs.
| Culbertson at the mission, she has been
| kept in the house in Washington alley by a
Chinaman named Chun Pun. She had been
| told that when she earned certain
amount of money she should be given her
| freedom. Several times she had asked
her owners how much she had turned over
| to them, and when she asked this question
| of the woman at the house yesterda y
morning the latter told her that she
would let her know when she had earned
enough to buy her freedom. Upon this
the quarrel began which ended in the girl
fleeing from the house Gown Clay street.

How It Happens That Four
Field Pieces Are on a
Vacant Lot.
NO ONE DEMANDS THEM.
A Lot of State Property That Is
Not Cared For by the
Authorities.
SOME HAVE BEEN CONDEMNED.
General Warfeld Says He Would Not
Permit Any National Guar sman
to Use the Guns.

On vacant lot fronting on Polk street,
between Broadway and Vallejo, which il
numbered would be 2111, there are four
field pieces and four caissons which are ex-
posed to the action of the atmosphere, OF
the rays OF the sun and are in no way pro-
tected.
These guns are the property of the State
and at one time we're the pride of and in
charge of Company A, Light Battery.
When that company was converted into q
troop of cavalry there was no further use
for the field pieces. and they were allowed
to remain in the armory on the south side
of Pacific avenue, west of Polk street, IN

til shortly after the recent change in the
National Guard.
George U.-Hind, who owns the armory
property, when the troop, which had be-
come in arrears for rent, after a gentle
hint to vacate, did re tire, found himself in
the possession of the vacated pre- misses, a
battery OF artillery, lot of tents, sabers,
saddles, leggings, parts of uniforms and
other articles that go to make up mill
tary company. Not being ambitious 20
be a National guardsman, and unlike Mrs.
Toodles, not believing these articles were
'shandy to have in the house." he notified
an officer of the disbanded or mustered
out company to remove the munitions of
war, and the reply he received was, "I've
no use for them, and you can do just
whatever you please with them.''
Then Mr.. Hind rented part of the ar
mory to Captain Dilhan. who when he
moved in found the military property a
nuisance and consulted with the landlord.
Finally the adiutant-generaps Office was
communicated with. Red tape delayed
the answer. Captain Dilhan was insistent
on his rights, so the landlord hired man
and pair of horses to move the battery to
the vacant lot, and there it Is. The other
properly was taken to the loft of the
| building.
The field pieces are ten Founders, known
as Parrots obsolete, it is true-but
they have never been condemned, and
when part of service they were used fol-
firing salutes, and never an accident oc-
Cured in the discharging of them but
once, and that was not the fault of the gun
but of the men in charge of 1t.
General Warfield said that the guns are
valueless; that they are unsafe, and that
he would not allow man of his command
to fire a shot from one of Them that some
time ago he refused to loan either of them
for purposes of firing a salute, and that on
the occasion of the funeral of the late
Major General Dimoud he would not allow
them to be used for saIute-iring. He said
they were offered 10 the authorities at San
Quentin, but they were refused, and thai
now they are worth only what they will
bring as old iron. Last week man offered
$40 for the wheels.
"If any one wants them" the general
added, s'they may be had cheap. As tc
the other material it is absolutely useless
as it was all condemned some time ago by
Captain Darlington, o. 8. A., who was de-
tailed by the War Department to examine
all the State property"

WROTE HIS OWN OBITUARY.
Death of an Old Time Carrier of French
NeWspapers.

Death of an Old-Time Carrier OF French
Newspapers.
An aged Frenchman, who for more than
forty years was a familiar figure on the
streets of San Francisco, died yesterday,
at the age of ~. The deceased was Alex
andre Quirin, who, from 1854 up to few
months ago, was carrier of French news
papers in this City. The popularity about
Monsieur Quirin was that he was not, like
the carriers of other daily papers, anxious
to get over the ground with all possible
speed and serve the subscribers bright and
early. The moment he left the office of
publication he would take a copy of the
paper he delivered, start at the first item
OF news on the first page, and as he walked
along he would read, and in that way in
form himself of the news of the day. He
would go over mis- route, and when he
reached the door of subscriber he would
stop just long enough to deliver the paper
and then he would resume his march and
his reading By the time he got over his
route he had read all there was in the pa
per.
few years ago he felt the effects of ad-
vancing age, and entering the Office of Al
fred Chaigneau, editor of the Franco Cali
fornien, laid before him a scrap of paper
on which was written in French the fol-
lowing:

He requested Mr.. Chaigneau to preserve
that scrap and when the writer was no
more 10 I'LL in the date and publish what
was written. The scrap was filed away,
and when Yesterday Mr.. Chaigneau was
