ters congratulasing her on the successful
fight she has made in what she deems the
cause of truth and righteousness. There
also come to her daily what purport to be
new charges against DR.. Brown. Some OF
these she has placed in the hands OF the
committee of charges; others she is run
ming down herself. Mrs. Cooper said yes
terday that if the lead she is now follow
ing results in anything it will be OF even
graver nature than all that has preceded.
Just what this evidence is she declines 10
say at present, though she will probably
lay it before the council some time to-day.
Miss Overman and DR.. Brown were
much better yesterday. True, visitors
were not admitted, yet the pastors wife
said that her charges were so far i'm proved
as to admit of their attendance at to-day $
session of the council.
The council will meet this morning at
10 80 o'clock and will hold continuous ses-
sions until the case is ended. 1t is e1-
pected that DR.. Brown will be the first
witness called. When his cross-examina-
tion is concluded evidence in rebuttal will
be introduced. AS already stated this
consists of the testimony of Mrs. Barton,
Harry Bickford and John Pierce, which
has already been outlined in THE CALL.

PROTECTION OF STREAMS.
Constitutionality OF the Debris Com
mission in Dispute.

Constitutionality OF the Debris Com
mission in Dispute.
The case of the United States against the
North Bloomfield mine was argued before
Judge McKenna in the United States Cir
cult Court yesterday. Assistant District
Attorney Knight represented the Govern
ment and ex-State Senator Cross appeared
for the defendant. 1t was test case.
Suit was brought against the operators of
the mine in question in order to make
them comply with the provisions of the
Caminetti act of March 8, 1893, establish
ing the Debris Commission. The defend
ants refused to recognize the com mission
as having any authority over the manner
of their operating the mine. since their
impo unding dams protected the streams.
They claimed that Congress had no power
in the premises unless injury was being
done the streams.
District Attorney Knight set forth the
thetCaminetti act provided that the Sac
ramento and San joaquin river systems
must come under the supervision and con-
troll of the com mission.
Judge Mckenna overruled the demurrer
of the defendants and entered plea of
abatement. If the Government is sus-
tanned the constitutionality of the Cami-
netti act will be finally settled
The North Bloomfield mine is located in
Nevada County. 1t is wealthy corpora

constitutionality of the act creating the
commission. Many other mines will be
affected by the decision OF the court in
this particular case.

He Finds Another Unfortunate
Victim Among the Fallen
Women.
FINGER MARKS ON HER NECK.
The Woman Was Called Blanche-The
Fiend Forced a Handkerchief
Down Her Throat.

Another shocking murder OF lowIy
woman by strangulation was committed at
q St. Mary street by an unknown fiend at
about o'clock this morning.
The woman's name was Bertha Paradis,
but Blanche was the name by which she
was known by her associates. Her con.
sort, Caesar Chebarr, noticed that the
front blind was gone from the window.
casing.
He waited until 2:3O o'clock and, becom-
ing anxious, entered her apartments and
found her lying on the bed half dressed with
a bandana handkerchief forced down her
throat and deep finger marks on her
neck, showing how the deed had been
committed.
Chebart at once ran outside and blew q
police whistle and Officers Richter and
Colon responded.
They investigated to see if robbery had
been the motive for the crime, but found
that her money had not been taken.
August Miller, barkeeper in the
saloon on ST. Mary and Pine streets, said
that lie served the woman with drinks at
l 80 O'Clock.
AS he was leaving the place after serving
the refreshments he saw a man enter the
woman's room. but the barkeeper cannot
give description of the man.
Blanche was a native of France and
spoke but little English. She was about "a
wears old and OF pleasing appearance.
The police say that this mornings crime
is similar in many respects to the one
committed a few weeks ago on Morton
street.
So far they are una BILE to obtain the
slightest trace of the murderer.

A SHIPS HARD LUCK.
When Ready for Sea the Strath-
don Was Run Down by
the Queen.
Now She Is Hard and Fast in the
Mud Alongside the Union
Iron Works.

The collision between the steam er Queen
and the British bark Strathdon seems to-
have been an unlucky affair for the latter.
After the vessels were separated it was
found that the sailing craft had her jib-
boom fractured. She was towed to the
Union Iron Works and there her damages
were repaired. In the meantime the
Queen has been made as good as new and
is now on her way to Portland but the
Strathdon is still hard and fast at the iron
works.
When an attempt was made to dock her
it was found that there was bank of mud
in the way. Extra steam was got on the
tug and the Strathdon was finally got
alongside. This was during the spring
tides, however, and the rise and fall has
gradually been getting less ever since.
Several days ago all attempt was made to
move the big ship, but it failed. Last
Sunday three tugs were sent, but they
could not bulge her. Yesterday two OF
the most powerful vessels in the bay made
another attempt, but after pulling out one
of her chocks they gave it up in despair.
The chances are that part OF the Strath-
don's cargo will have to be discharged be-
fore she can be got out of her bed OF mud.
In the meantime, however, Goodall, Per-
kins & Co., the owners of the Queen, are
paving $153 day demurrage TO the own
ers of the vessel, and they fail to see where
the fun comes in. They have willingly
paid for all the damage the vessel sus-
tanned, but think it is rather hard to be
compelled to pay the demurrage because
the vessel is stuck in the mud and can
not be got off.
Another attempt will be made to get the
vessel off at high water this morning, and
if it fails the work of tightening will at
once begin. The Strathdon was loaded

Sullivan is still able to get around in a lively

Fortunately the company is very good.
Eugene ORourke, the poStman, is as clever an
Irish comedian as one would expect to listen
to. His singing. i'll strong barytone voice,
especially when he renders "Arrah, Go On" Is
positively touching. Norman Campbell, the
cunning Scotchman, gave q particularly clever

There was large audience at the Bald

Hoyts latest contribution to dramatic
literature, "a Milk White Flag" The
play is supposed to be satire, but it hardly
comes up to that grade. 1t is light, bright,
brisk and funny, and is sure to enlist
good audiences throughout the sea-
son. 1t may not be the best form
imaginable in satire or burlesque
to make fun of funeral-even military
funeral-but there is something so absurd
in the Ransome Guards of the militia
seeking to surpass rival military COM
pany by the splendors of funeral that it
is irresistible. The termination OF the
corpse and the conversion of the funeral
into the frst grand annual resurrection

The hundreds OF people who crowded Powell

first performance. 1t was not. however, for the
theater was but fairly crowded, just enough to

no denying the fact that the audience came
principally to see the great John L. Sullivan.

There was a double bill. The first attraction

Mr.. Carleton has gained deserved renown and

Mr.. Carleton sang by special request the
famous Trilby song, "Ben Bolt" and voiced it
SO effectively that the audience insisted on a

marches, songs, grouping of figures and a
lot of side business that render the pro-
ductlon captivating.
The precise military bearing which the
colonel exhibits IN putting on his uniform
to take drink and then divesting himself
of his regalia when the drink is taken, is
funny enough. The songs, Without
Him, What's the Band?" and 81 Love My
Honey" caught the fancy of the audience,
and so did the whistling business.
