GROEzINGER'S CAUSE LOST
Judge Seawell Decides That He
Has No Ground for
Action.
The County Government Acts Pro.
vision for a Four.Year Term
Does Not Hold.

Judge Seawell yesterday gave judgment
for the defendant in the case of Justice of
the Peace G.. c. Groezinger VS.. Adolph
Sutro, the Board of Election Commits
sioners and Registrar Hinton.
Groezinger began suit against the de-
PENDANTS named, praying that they be
perpetually enjoined and restrained from
appropriating moneys from the funds of
the City and County of San Francisco for
the purpose of procuring and holding an
election in November, 1896, TO ill the
offices of Just ices of the Peace. and that
they be restrained from executing the pro-
visions of a resolution providing for the
holding of such election during the pend
ency of the action, and for such other and
further relief as might be found meet and
equitable, and for costs OF suit
The basis of the action was the county
government act of 1885, which provide
that county officials elected in 1894 shall
hold office for four years.
The defense, through its attorney, Gar
ret McEnerney, entered a demurrer
alleging that there was not sufficient
ground for action in the complaint.
Judge Seawell sustained the demurrer
and gave judgment for the defendants.

compared with other Republican clubs
having thousand or more members en-
rolled, does not lessen the power or intlu-
ence of this club, from the fact that those
200 trained men can and have knocked
four times their number hors de ombat
on a political issue. This is in conse-
quence of the excellent training and gen.
eralship of their leader, who never with
draws his outside sentinel until the last
ballot has been put on the string and the
returns safely locked in the City's vault.
The financial side of the Howards is
always attended to by it's own members,
and never in its history has it asked for or
received one dollar from any candidate or
from the State, Central or County Com.
mittee to tide over a financial chasm, but
generously pays it's own way and with be-
coming dignity holds its head high in the
air with lofty pride, looking upon its past
history and usefulness to principles OF the
party to which it is pledged and which
it has contributed TO retain IN power and
control of the National, State and City
governments.

INJURED BY A CABLE-CAR.
Charles j. Miller Run Down on Jone
Street Last Night.

Charles j. Miller Run Down on Jones
Street Last Night.
Charles ]. Miller. who is employed in an
undertaking establishment at 957 Mission
street, was badly injured late last night by
Jones-street cable-car On Golden Gate avenue
The accident was witnessed by John NJ.
Newbert, who was on one OF the cars. He said
that Miller was on the southbound car When
the car reached the north side OF the avenue
Miller stepped off the car and did not heed the
approach OF the northbound car on the other
track.
In a second the car had knocked him down.
In an instant the gripman had the car at
standstill, and Miller was only rolled over
once by the fender, so quickly did the brakes
operate. However, he was held firm by the
fender and one wheel, which was on his right
hand. Newbert and several others raised the
car and ran it back short distance, but as
they were removing the injured man the car
was started forward again, being on down
grade The next time the wheels were locked
and Miller was removed
The injured man remained on the sidewalk
forty minutes waiting for the police patrol
wagon to arrive from the North End police
station. The City Hall wagon was away on
another mission. When taken to the hospital
it was found that Miller's left leg was broken
in two places his right hand was badly cut
and his scalp lacerated in several places. The
shock to his system was also very severe.
Whether or not he sustained internal injuries
could not be learned unil later.

CLAIMS HEWLETT
WAS HER FATHER.
Mrs. 0ffutt of SonOma
County Would Break
the Will.
SCORNS FIVE HUNDRED.
She Begins Suit to Get Her
Share of a $4,000
Fortune.
A SECOND FLORENCE BLYTHE.
Known Before Her Marriage as the
Adopted Daughter of L. W.
Walker of Marin County.

Isabelle H. Offutt, through her attorney,
Hepburn Wilkins, yesterday petitioned
the Superior Court for a revocation Of the
probate OF the will of P. B. Hewlett. The
petitioner claims that she is the daughter
of P. B. Hewlett and that at the time he
made his will he was not of sound mind.
Mrs. Offutt is young woman about %
or q years of age and was before her mar
riage known as Belle Walker, the adopted
daughter of L. W. Walker of Marin
County. Since her marriage, however,
she has lived with her husband on their
ranch close to the Sonoma- Marin county
line and near the town of Petaluma.
She now, by her own legal declaration,
appears in much the same light as did
Florence Blythe when she contested the
Blythe estate as q daughter of the de-
ceased capitalist.
Hepburn Wilkins, the claimants attor-
ney, declared yesterday that the late z. b.
Hewlett had adopted his present client as
his daughter and had always treated her
as such. 1t is principally on this ground
that the suit will be prosecuted.
The whole estate is valued at about $780,
Co., including certain deeds OF nearly
100000, made to two of Hewlett's sons.
Mrs. Offutt will attempt to have these
deeds set aside.
The case will not come to trial for at
least two months, owing to the court re-
cess, and it may in the meantime be set
tied by compromise, as Mrs. Offutt's at
torney will endeavor to have the matter
decided without the publicity of q court
trial.
P. B. Hewlett, a widower, rs years of
age, residing at 80 Rincon place, died
January l, 1896. He left a will dated
August 8, 1892, with codicils added in
1898, naming George K. Porter, Frederick
Hewlett, j. D. Wilson and Z. T. Hewlett
as executors. His estate was appraised at
$50, 620.
Mr.. Hewlett's family consisted of three
sons, Edmund P. Hewlett, aged 81 years;
George Hewlett, aged IL, and Palmer
Hewlett, aged TO- He had been twice
married, the minor children being the off
spring of his second wife.
In disposing of his property P. B. Hew-
lett bequeathed the real estate at 30 Rincon
place to his eldest son, E. P. Hewlett, and
then went on to say:
Second: 1 give and bequeath to her that
was Bell Walker, before her marriage Bell
Walker is the adopted daughter OF L. w.
Walker OF Marin County, California the sum
of $500 for her sole use and benefit forever to
be paid from the first funds available from my
estate"
Other legatees for small sums are Mrs.
Carrie Simon, 40 years OF age Mrs. Nettie
Renwick, 49, and Mrs. Carrie Simons.
The remainder of the estate was to be
divided between the younger children, OF
whom George Laworin of Petaluma was
appointed guardian.
In the final paragraph of the will it is
provided that any heir who may contest
the will shall forfeit his legacy.

TABLEAUX AND SONG.
Charming Entertainment Given Last
Night at the Young Women's Chris
tian Association Home.

A charming entertainment was given
last evening at the home of the Young
Women's Christian Association, on O'Far-
rell street.
The large parlors were tastefully deco
rated, and one of the parlors was arranged
to serve as stage, on which red and white
lights were thrown with fine effect. The
evening was opened by an address by the
Rev. Mr.. Kennedy of st. Johns Presby-
terrain Church, after which the following
programme was rendered: Music by the
orchestral; recitation, "a Boys ConcIu-
sion," Miss Gladys Caighin; Delsarte pan
tomime, waiting and Watching, Miss
Edith Lincoln; solo, Daddy" DR.; R. w:

The programme was concluded by
series of beautiful tableaux by the above
young ladies under the direction of Miss
Minnie Hartley, their teacher in Delsarte
and elocution.
The singing of Mrs. Wood was a sur
prise, even to her friends. She was in ex-
cellent voice, and her dramatic soprano
brought out wonderfully the feeling in the
song.
AT the end of the entertainment re-
freshments were served.

CAMPAIGN WORK.
Frank Mclaughlin Looking for Rooms.
The Republican County Committees
Increase of Membership.


Major Frank Mclaughlin, NJ. R. Hig-
gins, Cornelius O'Connor and other men,
bers OF the executive committee of the Re-
publican State Committee have been look
ing around during the past few days for
rooms to be used as headquarters during
the campaign. Desirable apartments can
be obtained in the Emporium or the Flood
building. The chairman of the commit
tee, Major Mclaughlin, does not fancy the
idea Of using his rooms at the Palace Hotel
for political headq uarters.
Among local politicians of the Republi-
can party the action of the County Com
mittee in resolving to add to that body
one more member from each Assembly
District has caused much comment of
favorable kind. Nearly all the party
workers acknowledge that a committee of
eighteen--one from each districts too
small to do the work required.
MIR. Manwaring, chairman of the
County Committee, received many recon-
mendations yesterday in behalf of candi-
dates for tie position of committeeman.
A majority OF the recommendations came
from sources outside of the committee.
The chairman said last evening:
at is probable that the appointments
will not be made before the regular meet
Ing IN July. something may arise de-
handing action before the expiration of
thirty days, but there will be no haste
made in the selection. l intend to con-
slider thoroughly all the recommendation
presented. Among the men already men
toned are many capable and well-known
Republicans who would be able to perform
excellent service in their respective dis
tricts.

generally as a necessity. In fact do not
hear of any objection. All recognize that
the districts are large and that much work
should be done.

HER HEART FAILED.
Death Was Knocking at Mrs
Aliens Door.
Source and She Safely Passed the
Terrible Ordeal-She Tells Her
Experience to the Editor
Of the naInocrat


From the Democrat, Mt Vernon, Ind
When one of the most highly respected resi-
dents of a community is known to be a suf-
ferer from any disease and is suddenly cnred,
it is but natural that the community should
take great interest in the case.
Mrs. NJ. A. Allen, the wife of Mr.. Charles NJ.
Allen of Mount Vernon, Ind, has long been
known to the inhabitants of our beautiful
little city to be sufferer with severe and re-
lentless heart trouble. and when it was re-
ported around the city that she had been
cured of her trouble the editor of the Demo-
crat, who was overjoyed to near of it, took it
upon himself to investigate the case and find
out what caused her cure.
Upon calling at the coy little home of the
Aliens the editor was welcomed in by the oour-
teous lady, and, after they were comfortably
seated, the editor explained his mission and
received from Mrs. Allen the story of her suf-
fering and wonderful recovery. She was in
the best of spirits, as one would naturally be
expected to be after recovering from long
and severe illness. She stated that her name
had never been in the newspapers before, and
she didn't much like the idea, but in case of
this kind she would relent in order to en-
tighten suffering humanity.
She stated that she was 50 years of age and
had suffered from palptation of the heart and
nervousness for years and thought death was
at hand. She tried many remedies, but could
find no relief. Seepless nights and nervous
ness at all times was BEGINNING TO tell upon
her. She read OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills in
the Mount Vernon papers and their wonderful
cures. She did not put much stock in them
but finally concluded to try them.
Her own words are ''The first two boxes did
me so much good that thought that would
not have TO use them any more. ] stopped
using them, but suffered a relapse, however
and Commenced using them again. Since then
hare nerer had bad spell, while before would
faint and was unfit for work and home duties.
Now feel stronger and better than have for
years.
She looks upon DR.. Williams Pink Pills as q
godsend, and says she is free to say that they
are an excellent remedy for heart trouble and
nervousness.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to give
new life and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are also specific for
troubles peculiar to females such as suppress
sions. Irregularities and all forms of weakness.
They build up the blood and restore the glow
of health to pale and sallow cheeks In men
they effect radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or excuses OF
whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes

boxes for So 30, and may be had of all drug.

The vast throng who continue to daily
seek this number do so in quest of happi-

been blessed. Perhaps you, yourself, have
not. Possibly you have been foolish in
your younger days or indiscreet in after

While you may be afflicted with no acute
disease, yet you are conscious of the fact
that something is wrong with you. You feel
that you are nervous and irritable. You
feel that your thoughts and ideas are dull

your sleep is bad, undressing and some

You feel that your energy and ambition

tunity for such discussions and lectures on

course tend to weaken the influence OF the
Republicans throughout the City. But al
those attempts failed. Crimmlns and MS
hrst lieutenant, B. j. Dougherty, clrcum-
vented every attack and kept the cluD
within the Republican fold. !,
This last deal had the effect, however, OF
driving the Towards to more congenlai
quarters, and since that time their meet
lngs have been held in Pythian Castle on
Market street. But this tenancy Will only
be temporary, as the officers OF the cruz
are now looking for suitable quarters INTO
which they will move and from when
some good active political WORK LOT Inc
campaign of 1896 may be expected.
The first president of the club was James
Cunningham, in 1880. Following IN tne
order of their names are those who pre-,
sided over the destiny of the Howard

officer, Christopher Z. Newman, with the

president, L. Ii. Lutgens; third vice-pres-
ident Thomas McDermott; recording sec

The executive committee, which does
the real work of the club, is composed OF
the following members: Chairman, Phh
J. Crimmins; w. J. Blatner, B. J. Dough-
erty, George Bryant, T. w. Flemmlng,
T. J. Fellows, f. Coryn and John GRIEF.

good account of the club. with its 200 act

as well as those who will be nominated for
legislative and municipal honors, may be
