HAD AN EPILEPTIC FIT.

At the junction of Temple and Spring
streets at 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Officer Shannon arrested strange GUS
toner. The man. who looked the hobo
in every sense, had an epileptic fit, and
was sent in as insane. His name was
given as F. F. Frazier. When searched
at the police station desk, a variety of
the most peculiar things were found.
He was wearing three pair of trousers,
four vests, three coats and in his pock-
cts were stuffed specimens Of gold bear
ing quartz and other strange things
When they finally got next to the skin
a small canvas bag was discovered, and
in it was found s37330. Letters on his
person showed that he has visited almost
every country on the face of the globe
and that he has friends in most of them
Later in the day Frazier was discharg-
ed, as he had recovered from his sudden
illness.

IN COMMITTEE.
Early Action Desired on Railroad Bills
~ Francis Nomination.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The senate
committee on Pacific railways today
agreed that in view of the fact that the
mortgages of both the Union and Central
Pacific are now practically due, it was
important to secure the action of con-
gress at the earliest practicable date.
Senator Morgan was the only senator
present who dissented. He said he did
not desire delay. He expressed the opin-
ion, however, that further testimony
should be taken. He was overruled. The
committee decided to ask for a day for
the Sioux City bill Immediately and for
the disposal of the immigration bill and
to make an effort to get up the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific bills imme-
diately after recess, providing Senator
White of California shall have arrived.
The committee agreed not TO press these
bills in his absence.
The nomination of Secretary Francis
as head of the interior department was
referred to the finance committee in ac-
cordance with the custom of the senate.
Nominations of the president for cabinet
positions are usually confirmed very
promptly. The nomination of Mr.
Francis was sent to the senate week
ago and today was the first meeting of
the france committee since the nomna =
ton was sent in. Secretary Francis will
rot be confirmed until after the sena-
torial election in Missouri. 1t is under
stood that Senator Vest, a member of
the finance committee. suggested that
the nomination go over until after the
holidays. The opposition if such it can
be termed. can be traced to the recent
election, in which Mr. Francis sup
ported the gold Democratic candidate
Considerable feeling has been engender-
ed but 1t Is not believed that the opposi-
| tion will be carried SO far as to prevent
| confirmation.

GOOD WEATHER WANTED.
To Secure the Success of the n. c. B.
Citrus Fair.

FRESNO. Dec. 15.-The installation of
the San Joaquin valley citrus fair was
completed today and nothing now is
lacking to make the event magnificent
success excepting a few days of bright
Sunshine and balmy weather instead
of the lowering clouds and drizzling
showers which are now retarding the
gathering of the expected visitors.
The attendance has been fair but a,
small fraction of what it would have
been with favorable weather.
The expression heard from visitors is
that of surprise and admiration. F. T.
Knewing, a former resident of South
ern California, says that he has attended
all the fairs south of the Tehachepi,
While some of them have been larger, he
has never before seen display SO hand
some nor an exhibit of citrus fruits so
clean and uniformly excellent. His opin-
ion was sustained by other visitors from
abroad
If the weather is more favorable dur
ing the latter part of the week there
is no question about the fair being a
complete success.

OF the president. while he had the ut
most respect for the president. he was
not willing that precedent should be
established in which the president should
prescribe the rate at which pensions
should be established. Mr.. Palmer
thought the president had acted under
a misapprehension in vetoing the bill.
After a roll call to determine the pres
ence of a quorum, which demonstrated
that there were fifty-seven senators
present, the vote was taken, resulting Al
yeas to II nays, after which the chair
announced that the bill was passed not
withstanding the presidents objections.
The negative votes were cast by Messrs.
Bate Berry Blanchard, Chiffon, Faux
and Walthall.
On motion of Mr. Vest the senate went
into executive session and at p. m. ad-
journed.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Mrs. Isabelle
Cutting Courtney, daughter of Francis
Cutting. a wealthy merchant of San
Francisco, was today declared of un-
sound mind by sheriff's jury. She was
married in 1891 to Harold Courtney, an
actor, and at once proceeded with him
to Italy, where, six weeks after the
marriage, her husband placed her in
private asylum at Pistoria. When her
parents heard of her confinement. they
went to Europe and took up their resi-
dence on the Isle of Wight. They soon
learned that under the Italian laws no
one but Mrs. Courtney's husband could
visit her. and an arrangement was en-
tered into by which her father agreed to
pay the husband $125 month for four
years, he to release himself from all
claims on his wife and the latter was
then released from the asylum and
placed in the custody of her cousin, Miss
Mary Nelson Patterson, who took her to
the Isle of Wight, where she is at pres
ent with her parents.
Counsel for the parents today stated
these facts to the jury and added that
the young woman fell in love with the
actor and married him against the WISH
es of her family, and that she is suffering
from what physicians call post-nuptial
insanity, her delusion being that nearly
every man she meets has improper de-
signs on her. The young woman, her pa
rents said, has property in this state,
consisting of $2500 in securities and an
annuity of the same amount secured by
$50 10000 of bonds of California railroad.
The testimoney of Mrs. Courtney's faith
er, mother, Miss Patterson and two ply
sicians, taken before the United States
consul at Southampton, was introduced.
An application will be made to have Miss
Patterson appointed custodian of Mrs.
Courtney's personal property.

PROOFS PRODUCED.
Fair Heirs, However, Hint of For
Eeries.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 27.-Mrs.
Nettie R. Craven has produced the
deeds that were recorded with so much
mystery a, few days ago. The presen-
tation of those documents before
Judge Slack last night has led to an
other startling development in the SEN
sational case. The attorneys for the
heirs not only claim that the papers
bear their own evidence of forgery,
but they assert that under the laws of
California the transfer of property,
whether made by James G.. Fair or
not, is void. While. Mrs. Craven was
too i'll TO go on the witness stand last
night and was excused until next
Thursday morning, the lawyers ar
rayed in opposition to her were given
an opportunity to inspect the docu-
ments she prizes so highly.
Although this inspection was little
more than casual one the attorneys
for the children of Fair claim they
have found new reason to reiterate
their charge of forgery. They assert
that in one of the deeds the signature
of James G.. Fair was written over an
erasure, which may show something
more under microscope. 1t is also
claimed that the date, September 8,
1894, was also written over an erasure,
but independent of these alleged con-
siderations the attorneys for the
children insist that both deeds are
void, because they give no legal des-
cription of the property that was to
be transferred.

moose was placed around his neck He
was ordered 20 confess. He said he
was innocent. He was directed to

HENLEY ON-THAMES, June 81
The weather was very hot this morn
ing and there was no wind. All the
crews INDUCED in light practice. Lean
der and New College were not out, but
Yale was on the water at 1890.
Bob Cook coached the crew at first
on foot and later took a boat at FaW-
ley court. The Americans then rowed
TO the Minute barrier at a. thirty
stroke. The boat went smoothly but
there was rot as much life in it as
there ought to be. The men were all
well except that Brown and Langford
were Slightly indisposed but not enough
so to hinder their work. There is no
tendency to overtrain any member of
the Yale crew.
Bob Cook continues hammering at
the necessity for a quick hard catch
and the new oars are expected to help
in this respect. The English admired
the clean work of the Americans.
The Yale men are enjoying life in
their quarters more and more and COM
pare it to a garden fete.
Trinity Hall was out this morning
and went to Hambledon Lock and
back in short stretches. They are
working harder than the other Eng
lish crews. The Englishmen take a
brisk run across the field, after row.
ing, in order to timber up; but the
Yale oarsmen only have a rub down
and then dress.

the First Trinity crew:
