NEW YORK, May 27.-A big iceberg
irifted ashore Monday near Amesbury, n
Massachusetts summer resort, and for a
short time during low water grounded on
the sands. When il left its birthplace in

Of the setting sun made IL mass OF glow

The thermometer dropped to 4oe at the

at the hotels kept the night clerks and
porters busy with demands for blankets
and quilts. Tuesday morning the iceberg
weighed anchor and sailed away.

SUING pop SULLIVAN
Forty Thousand Dollars De
manded for an Injured
Reputation.
Hughes Was Arrested Four Times
at the Instigation of the
Saloon Man

Pop" Sullivan has a pretty fight on his
hands He has been sued for $40, COO
damages by G. A. Hughes.
There is probably no one in San Fran
cisco better known to the men about town
and other local seekers after pleasure than
the proprietor OF the Hoffman. For forty
years he has dispensed refreshments, both
solid and liquid, to the wayfarers within
the Citys gates, and during that time there
are very few who ever suspected the mild
hammered Pop" of bearing malice. Yet
such may be the case, for Mr.. Hughes,
through his attorneys, J. n. Henderson
and 7. G. Kierulff, alleges that he has been
damaged to the extent of $40, 600 on four
distinct occasions by actions of the de-
fendant that are nothing if not malicious.
The complaint recites that on February
1, 1895, w. J. Sullivan procured tbe arrest
OF c. A. Hughes on charge of carrying a
concealed weapon, but that Judge Low
dismissed the complaint. For thus con-
spring to injure Hughes good name,
reputation and business it is prayed that
Sullivan be assessed $4,000.
Again on February 1, 1895, Sullivan, not

entry in question.
He knew that the deeds referred to were
deeds OF gift. He did not know Mrs.
Craven; never heard of her before that
time; did not remember being introduced
to Mrs. Craven by Mr.. Barkis at j. j..
O'Farrelrs; did not know Mrs. Haskins.

book-only a book showing indebted
ness to him. This was at his home. Mr..
McEnerney insisted on having it, and re-
cess was taken to allow him to get it.
The witness brought the book, but it
revealed nothing relevant little in
debtedness by Knight g. Heggarty that
caused laugh.
This ended the inquiry. The books
were all offered in evidence by McEnerney.
Mr.. Delmas stated that it had been
agreed to take tine deposition OF Mrs. Has
klns, but upon inquiry it was found that
she was at San Leandro. She could be
called into court tomorrow if desired.
Mr.. Mitchell made objection against her
being introduced in advance of Mrs.
Craven. The whole matter, he thought,
should go over until August 3.
II simply wanted to expedite the bust
ness, said Delmas, asserting.

HE CUT HIS THROAT.
Attempted Suicide by n Patient mt the
City and County Hos
pitaI

Richard Clayton, native of England.
about 3S years of age, went to the City and
County Hospital yesterday morning for
treatment.
He bad cut in his right wrist which he
said had been inflicted in fight with an
other man. The wound was dressed and
he was placed in one OF the surgical wards.
By some means he got possession OF a
razor, which was probably concealed in
his clothing, and during the afternoon cut
his throat, severing his windpipe and the
main arteries.
He was hurried to the operating-room
and the gaping wound STITCHED and dressed.
The physicians at the hospital said last
night that his chances OF recovery were
doubtful.
Clayton refused to give any information
about himself, but it was ascertained that
he had been living in the Prescott House
on Pacific and kearny streets.
The probability is that he had attempted
to commit suicide by cutting the arteries
in his wrist with the razor and the sight
OF blood had made him weaken.

to be baked of his revenge, FLED another
complaint, charging Hughes with using
vulgar and obscene language and with try
ing to create breach of the peace Judge
Low convicted the defendant on this
charge, but the Superior Court reversed
his decision. For thus trying to iniure
the complainant another SIC, 900 is desired
from the Golfers of the saloon man.
On February 5, 1895, third charge of
unlawfully carrying brass knuckles was
preferred against Hughes at the instiga-
ton of Sullivan. Again did Judge Low
convict him and again did the Superior
Court reverse the decision. An additional
$40, 600 is demanded for this persecution.
A fourth charge, alleging assault upon
the person of w. J. Sullivan was made
against Hughes on February 5, 1895.
judge Campbell dismissed it and a final
$4,000 is asked as salve for this wound
inflicted upon Mr.. Hughes good name,
reputation and business.
The trouble between Hughes and Sulli-
van dates back to an alteration about
Hughes bringing colored woman TO Sui
liVan's place. Sullivan says he ordered
the pair to leave the cafe, and that Hughes
came back and assaulted him. The arrests
followed, the idea being that if Hughes
was convicted IN the Police Court he would
lose his place in the office of Harry Wise.
Mr.. Sullivan says that the cases in the
Superior Court were allowed to go against
him by default, because OF an oversight on
the part of his attorneys.

The Rev. Anna Shaw was evidently

Woman Suffrage State Central Committee
and famed her heated face with clerical
looking handkerchief of spotless lawn.
The gifted lady, despite her recent ia
tiguing labors, looks well. Yesterday she
wore natty tailor-made travelling costume
OF pearl-gray tweed, set off by rows of
ornamental stitching and few lustrous
mother-of-pearl buttons. A simple but
fetching little hat crowned the wealth of
hair just beginning to show few threads
OF silver, and the bright, open counte-
nance was charming in its tasteful setting

IN Santa Barbara and expected to rest
there, but the drives in the neighborhood
were so lovely that | could not resist the

CATHOLICS TO LECTURE,
The Young Mems Institute
Organizes a Labor
Bureau.
Officers Elected and Branches Estab-
lished in California and
Nevada.

The Young Mems Institute now has q
lecture bureau which it proposes to en-
ploy as a potent factor in spreading the
truth about the Catholic church.
At the recent Grand Council of the order
at Haywards a resolution was adopted pro-
viding for such an adjunct to the Young
Mems Institute in this jurisdiction and
others. The selection of mem bers was left
to the grand president, and in conformity
with this plan Grand President Gallagher
has appointed the following as members
of the Central Lecture Bureau: Rev. p. G.
Yorke, Hon. ]. F. Sullivan. Colonel James
+. Smith, Rev. James Mcdonald, Jam es
G. O'Donnell, Thomas ii. Fallon, Frank j.
Kierce and John Lynch.
These prominent members of the insti-
tute have met and elected officers rs fol-
lows: Rev. P. G. Yorke, president; Frank
]. X. Pierce, vice president; John II. Rich
ards Jr., secretary; John O'Donnell,
treasurer.
Almost Immediately the work which the
bureau was designed to accomplish was
begun. Local bureaus have been estab-
lished at Los Angeles and Sacramento,
Cal, and Virginia City, New.
The central bureau will exercise general
supervision over all lectures delivered
under the auspices of the Institute in car
rying out the provisions of the Grand
Council constitution relative to public lee
lures. 1t VIII only act, however, after
consultation with the local bureaus and
after having been advised of the localities
in their respective jurisdictions.
The mem bers of the central bureau are
very enthusiastic and hope for the accom-
plishment OF great good as a result of these
public lectures.
1t is believed that at the next meeting of
the central body course of lectures will
be partially arranged.

witness was considerably more at his ease
under the cross-examination than he was
under the first flush of taking the chair.
His indifference grew upon him.
he produced whole library of records,
Including the book in which the entry of
the Fair-Craven deed acknowledgements
were made and cashbook that developed
nothing save some entries of the indebted
ness OF some OF the lawyers in the case
that provoked some amusement. The
witness simply and quietly repeated under
the close cross-questioning the story he
told under the direct examination.
Judge M. Cooney, the witness father,
was in the courtroom during the whole
day, close listener to his sons testi-
mony.
Miss Margaret Craven. Mrs. Craven's
daughter, sat with her mothers counsel
Delmas and Shortridge and Lansing Miz-
ner.
Mr.. Delmas conducted the taking of the
deposition on behalf of Mrs. Craven, and
Garrett McEnerney, assisted by r. B.
Mitchell, cross-examined.
The witness testified that he is 80 years
old. and was a notary public from octo-
Der, 1887, to January, 1895.
Mr.. Delmas produced q photograph of
James G. Fair, whose likeness the witness
recognized. He then produced the now
famous deeds with their acknowledge
ments and declared the signature to the
latter was his own; that the seal was his
own.
Delmas read the ACCOMPLISHMENTS: per

NEW CO MMITTEFMEN.
Eight Members Added to the Republic
can County Committee.

Eight Members Added to the Republic
can County Committee.
AT meeting of the Republican County
Com ittee at its Market-street headquar-
tiers last night eight new members of the
committee were appointed by Chairman
Manwaring, and the appointments were
confirmed.
Under the resolution ado pied at the
vious regular meeting the chairman
was directed to appoint an additional
member OF the committee in each district,
giving the committee a membership of
thirty-slx instead of eighteen.
This step was taken to make the COM
mittee still more representative of the best
elements OF the party and TO give it num-
bers sufficient to attend well to the crowd
ing work OF the campaign when divided
among committees. Chairman Manwar-
ing is exercising great care in making his
selections, and in making them he is en-
deavoring to satisfy as far as possible
every body concerned. In some districts
several men have been urged for appoint
ment. and so it was that Chairman Man
waring did not have the full list ready last
night.
Those named and at once confirmed by
the committee were the foiIowing:
Twenty-ninth district-F. Hageman.
Thirty -first-Wiliiam Smadeke.
Thirty -fourth-R. Schleuter.
Thirty-fifth-John L. Dare
Thirty -seventh-Joh A. Mccarthy.
Thirty Gig hth-John L. Coster.
y-second-Harry n. Gray
Forty-four th-Philip Crongsgrill
J. II. Thompson, county committeeman
from the Thirty-ffth District, had urged
the appointment of John DAILY instead OF
John I. Dare, though he spoke highly of
Mr.. Dare, and he was so put out at his dis
appointment that he resigned his Office as
treasurer of the committee. Harry N.
Gray was elected to the vacancy on mo-
ton of J. M. Chretien.
