AN ORGAN RECITAL
Large Audience Gathers ct the First Congre-
pationai Church

~ dfxc AuQfeEGe uatnerS CT the fiESt (OhSTe-
gationai Church :.
At the First Congregational church last
night the new pipe organ was publicly
tried for the first time. Herr Wilhelm
Middelschulte, one of the greatest organ
players in the world, was the performer,
and he displayed in the most thorough
manner the magnificent possibilities of the
instrument. The organ is from the Far
rand Notey company of Detroit, and the
action is electric, the console or key
oard being movable to any situation.
Herr MIddelschute showed the quality
of the organ most thoroughly in his closing
piece. A theme of Thiele's was taken and
woven into exquisite variations. fin ally
closing with magnificent fugual finale.
In the Saint-Saens fantasie the fine "Vox
Humana" stop was used with excellent
effect, and the reeds were displayed in
very fine manner in the Marche Funebre,
by Chopin. The tone of the instrument is
wonderfully mellow for SO new an instri-
rnent. lacking almost entirely that hard,
metallic sound so noticeable in the first
years of an organs life. The setting OF the
instrument is remarkably handsome, well
worthy of the music that is latent within.
Mr.. E. H. Clark played couple of violin
solos excellently, and in response to de-
served recall played an exquisite piece for
muted strings. Mrs. T. e. Rowan, ir..
sang Mozart's L'Addio very prettily, and
for an encore sang a dainty little bit from
the German. Mr.. H. S. Williams was
roundly encored for the excellent manner
in which he rendered Wagner's Oh, Thou
Sublime, Sweet Evening Star. The full
program was as follows:
Organ, Toccata in major, Bach-Herr Mid
dclschulte

BIG DAMAGES

Jackson Twcedy Begins a Suit Against the
Southern Pacific
jackson Tweedy he's sued the Southern
Pacific Railroad company for $4,000
damages, and for $3.50 special damages.
'On the l Sth of November, while jackson
Tweedy and his wife were crossing the
tracks of the railroad company at Seventh
and Alameda streets, his wagon in which
he and his wife we're seated was run into
by Southern Pacific engine. The wagon
was totally demolished and the team
killed. The young wife was Instantly
killed and Tweedy was for lcrg time uH.
conscious. He recovered later, but had re-
ceived injuries which will MAIN him for
life.
In his complaint the plaintiff AYERS that
the accident was brought about by the fact
that the crossing at Seventh and Alameda
streets was extremely dangerous by reason
that the flagman employed there was
wholly incompetent, unskiliful, careless,
and physically disabled through defective
eyesight; that W. H. Thomas, the engi-
neer, was by reason of old age and defec-
tive eyesight totally incompetent to run
the engine, and that he was careless, negli-
gent and reckless in running the engine.
which was being propelled at the rate of
about thirty-live miles an hour, contrary to
the city ordinance regulating the rate of
speed at which railroad trains shall be
propelled in the city. For these reasons
and the resultant injuries the plaintiff
received the husky damages are asked.
Henry L. Gage is the attorney for Jack
son Tweedy, and this of itself goes to show
that Mr.. Tweedy intends to push his suit
against the railroad company.

VERY HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT
Jackson Tweedy Sues the Southern Pa

Gas Company Loses Its Suit Against the
Athletic CIub-hezskiah Rupert Arrested
for Making Thrcats-Court News

Eight jurymen thought that Attorney A.
c. Broderson did not commit a felonious
assault upon the person Of Julia Weiss in
his office last November, and four jourymen
thought that he did.
The jury at o'clock last evening re.
ported to Judge Shaw that there was no
probability of their reaching an agreement.
They had been out for four hours and a
half, and there was no change of opinion
on any ballot.
Upon this statement Judge Shaw dis
charged the jury, and unless the district at
torney's office decides to dismiss the case
it will have to be tried over again. 1t will
be quite an expense to the county.
The testimony that was taken in the case
yesterday was that of character witnesses,
after which the argument commenced.
Assistant District Attorney Williams made
very strong presentation for the people.
Ben Goodrich. the attorney for Broder-
son, made one of the most convincing pleas
for his client that has been heard in the
courthouse in a long while. Mr. Goodrich
had difficult case to present, but his pre-
sentation of the defendants side, under
the circumstances, was very able. Mr..
Goodrich in addressing a jury talks to the
twelve good men just as if he were in con-
versation with them. He indulges in no
flights of oratory, but his plea loses none of
its force, but is rather stronger for this
reason.
The district attorney will decide later
whether the Broderson case shall be tried
again or dismissed.

ROBBED OF ALL HIS MONEY
A Young German From Dundee Station
Robbed by Bunco Man
He Was Relieved OF Over One Hundred Do;-
iarS OF an Old Oame-tiow it Was
Accomplished

Yesterday afternoon a young German
who gave the name of w. Hinrichs, and
who halls from Dundee station, on the
Southern Pacific railroad, called at the
police station and reported that on his
arrival in the city. his had fallen among
thieves and been robbed of $l2O, all the
money he had in the world.
Hinrichs says that on his arrival in the
city while walking along the street he met
a man who spoke to him, and a converse
ton followed. The man told Hinrichs that
he was going down to see friend of his,
who was surveyor, and who would give
him work, and asked him to go along with
him. Hinrichs finally consented to go
with the stranger, on the prospect of get
ting work himself, and, leaving his satchel
at the Santa Rosa lodging house, corner of
Fourth and San Pedro streets, went with
is new friend. The man took i'm to the
little cigar stand and saloon at First and
Alameda streets, and there Hinrichs'
troubles began. He was inveigled into
game of cards as silent partner, and when
the first partner coughed, it was a signal
for the robbery to begin. Hinrichs was
and then he was urged to pu. all the money
he had on the play. This he did, and when
the deal closed up Hinrichs was on the
wrong side to the extent of $l2O.
Hinrichs reported the matter to the
police, and later Detectives Goodman and
Steele arrested man who gave the name
of Collins. who was jailed.
Subsequently, on investig alton, it was
found that Collins real name was Moore.
and that he had once before been arrested
on the Same charge, but that he was
acquitted. t
the case against him will be vigorously
prosecuted to the finish. l
A sho2t time ago another attempt was
made at this same place to bunco u young
Engiishman who had just arrived in the
city from Arizono. In this case, however,
the young Elg!ishman, who, by the way,
was Hat broke, was not as green as he
looked, and after enjoying the sharpers'
wine and cigars, coolly announced that
he was without money. and left lhe room,
much 10 the disgust of the confidence men,
who wero wild at being beaten at their
own game.
Last evening the young man, who is now
newspaper reporter in this city, visited
the joint in company with Detective
Goodman and identified his old friend
1.-THE colonel" as the same man who pre-.
sided when tho unsuccessful attempt was
made to fleece him.

The Los Angeles Lighting company will

club for gas which the Lighting company
claims was consumed by the Athletic club
during FIVE months OF 1898, and which did

A jury in Justice Young's court yester.

Gated by the meter and by bills rendered, it
would not have to pay any more even if the
meter was out of whack and did not regis.

A NARROW ESCAPE

R. II. Churchill Escapes the Penitentiary Very
Narrowly
r. H. Churchill was acquitted of the
charge of forgery by jury in department
one yesterday afternoon, and it took the
twelve good men and true but very short
time to arrive at conclusion after they
heard the evidence. Churchill had in his
possession forged check for S125, signed
by L. j. Brooks. Churchill endeavored TO
dispose of the check at a number of re-
sorts and finally left it with an Alameda
street saloonkeeper for three drinks.
Churchill is an old man, but he has bad
record, still there was no evidence upon
which to convict him of the crime charged
against him.
