SAN RAFAEL, June2.- Frank Wheeler,
an inmate of the state prison at San Quen-
tin, made good his escape last evening. He
was not missed until lock-up, when ii was

directions but to no avail. Wheeler was

two weeks later made his escape and was
not re-captured until 1895. when he was
found in Chicago. Wheeler was d man "a
years old, fair complexion, light brown
hair. He was man about five feet six In
ches in height and is considered a very

officials are somewhat excited at the
peremptory removal to another district
of J. {. Benton, assistant special agent
of the treasury for the northern district

worth was hunted up A consultation
| among all resulted in their being as far
at sea as ever.
The mother, Mrs, Tosney, was sent for
in the hope that she might throw some
light on the predisposing causes. Miss
Russell has been In poor health for some
time, but when she went to the theater
last night she was feeling as we'll as
usual. Leach has known her for only
about two weeks and knew nothing Of
the reason for her sickness. She said
nothing about feeling Ill to him, but
merely that she was going for some
water. In the dressing room she sud-
denly became unconscious. From the
general symptoms the indications were
that there had been rupture of a blood
vessel in the brain, and her condition
grew rapidly worse. Every known means
was resorted to by the physicians, but to
no avail, and 1t finally became evident
that she would die.
Rev. Father Cote was called upon and
administered the rite of final absolution
of the Catholic church. The scene in the
room during this was an impressive
one. Grouped around the small iron
bedstead, upon which lay the form of the
unconscious girl, were the physicians
the Jail officials, the weeping mother and
the unfortunate girls escort. Leach.
1t was by this time o'clock in the morn
ing, and the measured cadences of the
for the dying resounded through the ST.
lent Jail, the only other sound being
the labored breathing of the patient. who
lay on the couch ghastly pale, her form
twitching In convulsions every now
and then, and the lamplight falling i'll
sickly glare across her sunken features.
The service was concluded; the priest
offered the last prayer and departed and
the mother was left to watch her child
die 1t had by this time become evident
to the doctors that the trouble was a
rupture of a blood vessel in the brain.
DIR. Downs had at first suspected this
as the cause, and the eventual develop
ments showed that the view was COR
rect. He remained by the side of the
girl to the last. Mrs. Tosney said that
the girl had been twice before attacked
in a similar manner, the predisposing
cause being acute indigestion and the
prostration being preceded by chill.
Sarah was her only child and she was
too grief-stricken to give any connected
statement.
Sarah Russell at the time of going to
press, was still alive. but had not recov-
cred consciousness, and no hope is enter
tanned of her recovery.

FRESH AIR SOCIETY.
The Work of the Year and the Election of
Officers.

This society has just ended the eighth
year of work, and reviewing the records
of the past season, find much good, syste-
matte work has been accomplished. The
committee have been very harmonious
in their duties, interesting and untiring.
The finance committee have met with
their usual good success, and to this
committee much credit is due, as the ex-
tentaof the SOC iety's work rests largely
upon their efforts. In answer to an ap
peal made in the early part of the season
the Sunday schools contributed more
than in previous years. Three hundred
and seventy-fve have been given an
outing in some form. AS in years past
the society has met with most courteous
and generous favors from the different
transportation lines. GOOD boarding
places have been secured and 46 weeks
weeks free boarding considered available
to the society. More children have been
sent away than in former years. Sick,
delicate children are aided in such a
manner as seems adivssble under exist
ing circumstances. Many times when
children are sent away it proves in q
measures little help to the tired mothers
who remain at home. This society sends
the sick and needy of both sexes, and all
ages, into the country homes. Many
have to be treated as special cases and
the most delicate and judicious manner
used to induce them to accept what they
SO much need, as they have never received
aid in any form, and thusssthe society
benefited in any other way. Some can
not leave their homes and cares for any
length Of time. To these are furnished
days. outing at the islands and car
rides. Several aged and inf1rm persons
are each year given carriage rides. So
the sogiety reaches out a helping hand in
all directions and each year the work
grows in interest.

ONE oRANTED-oNE REFUSED.
Mrs. George r. Davis Can Build Her House
and Mr.. CoIesworthy His, But Not Car
riage House.

The committee on new buildings met
again last evening to consider two new
building petitions.
The first was the petition of Mrs. An
ma T. Davis, wife of Mr.. George r. d.
Wis, to erect new wooden house in the
rear of $50 Congress street, in Davis place.
Chairman Davis called George R. Da-
Wis, who explained the nature of the new
dwelling to be erected. which would be
located between the Plumner and Rinss
property.
Messrs Chas. Plummer and David
Rines appeared and thought the new
building would probably increase the fire
rate.
MIR. Davis refuted this by exhibiting a
letter from Rollins & Adams, saying the
new building would not affect the fire risk
of the adjacent property, which seemed to
dispose of the obj eotlons
II. R. VIRGIN, ESQ.,, appeared in his
own behalf, seeking information in re-
gard to the new building and question
ing Mr.. Davis. but did net enter any
real objection to the proposed building.
Inspector Ward favored the granting
of the permit and the committee voted to
grant it with the proyiso that the roof
Of the new house be covered with slate
or gravel.
In regard to the permit of s. 81. Coles
worthy to erect DIV elling and carriage
house on Sherman street, Mr.. Dockerty
and the Ingalls, Brothers, owners of abut-
ting pro perty, objected to the carriage
house.
Mr., Colesworthy was not represented,
either personally or by counsel, to rake
any statement of his case, and the COM
mittee voted to grant permit for the
dwelling, but to refuse tie permit for a
carriage house.
