mittees and grand officers.
Mrs. Mary E. Partridge, most worthy
grand matron of the General Grand Chap
ter elected last year at Boston, attended
the session yesterday, and was received
with the honors befitting her high official
station.
The sympathy of the Grand Chapter was
extended to Past Grand Patron Ianthus
Rolfe, Past Grand Matron Mrs. Emmaline
Role and Past Grand Matron George
Anna Matfield in their affliction, which
has caused their absence from the conven-
ton.
Last evening the local chapters gave a
very pleasing entertainment in Golden
Gate Hall for the benefit of the Masonic
Widows and Orphans Home in Decoto.
At the close of the literary and musical
exercises the chapters and their guests
partook of splendidly arranged banquet
in the assembly-room of the hall.

tion will close Saturday, when the dele

DARE WASINDIGNAN7 I
Republican Candidate for Senator De-
nounces the ChronicIe In
Open Court.


Open Court.
John T. Dare scorched the Chronicle
yesterday morning in open court. Mr..
Dare is the regular Republican candidate
for State Senator from the Mission. He
is also lawyer and is Prosecuting Attor-
ney in Police Court 8.
The courtroom was filled when he arose
and requested of Judge Joachimsen per-
sonal privilege. He then read this short
article from the mornings Chronicle:
Thomas Connolly, the boy who fred three
shots from pistol at his father at Twenty
fourth and Sanchez streets last Thursday
afternoon, was held to answer yesterday by
Police Judge Joachimsen upon charge OF as
sault with deadly weapon.
Prosecuting Attorney John t. Dare con-
Quoted the case for the people in half hearted
manner. 1t was apparent that he did not
ardently desire conviction in the case When
the judgment OF the court was pronounced
Dare remarked that it was outrageous Dare
is candidate for State Senator, and Con-
nelly's father lives in his district.
graph was "a lie from start to finish, !"
and unfair, malicious and dishonest, !"
Mr.. Dare declared that the report had
been deliberately falsified for political
purposes. He then called upon the sew
eral officers OF the court to corroborate his
declarations regarding his prosecution of
the case. Thereupon Judge Joachimsen,
Clerk Jacob Shane. Court Reporter Gaw-
thorne, Officer McMurry and several others
who had been present on the day previous
lntlmated that thev shared Mr.. Dare S
Indignation and openly denounced the
paragraph as cowardly and untrue.

lohn D. Siebe. She is talented and beau
iful and a great social favorite. DIR.
oohrmann is the son of President Dohr-
mann of the Merchants Association and

The Siebe residence on Sacramento

arge and handsome and conveniently
Ipen into one another They lend them
elves readily to the decorators art, and
yesterday evening were more than usually
attractive with their wealth of autumn
blossom decorations.
In the main drawing-room, where the
CEREMONY was performed, white chrythan-
hemums and great branches of stripped
Iamboo were used for adornment.
At o'clock the young couple met at

charge of Mr.. Dimond's battle in the pre-
cinct.
The club, as its name indicates, is in
dependent in politics. Mr.. Bannerman,
the president, is Republican.
The offices are evenly distributed among
Democrats and Republicans.
Judge Sullivan made stirring speech
in favor of Mr.. Dimond, whom he de-
scribed as an anomaly in San francisco
politics, an honest Supervisor, a man who
entered Ll6 DOdTQ OF Oup6TVlSOIS poor
and leaves it poor. Upon the conclusion

given for Mr. Dimond and the Judge.

party, whose aim is TO secure honest men
for public offices; that Joseph l. Dimond
is such q man, as he has already proved
himself to be above corrupting influences
while filling the Office of Supervisor: that
he has proved himself a fearless pro-
tector of the rights of the people is
demonstrated by the stand he took to
prevent the .unwarranted appropriation of
public streets by the street railroad COM
panies and the adjustment OF the odious
transfer check system, etc. The resolu-
ton was adopted.
The meeting adjourned to meet in a
larger hall at time to be fixed by the
president. at the next meeting Hon.

At the Fremont Club.

Fremont Club Hall was comfortably
filled last night by voters of the Seven
teenth Senatorial District, who focked
there to hear the gifted orator, Colonel T.
v. Eddy.
The meeting was under the auspices of
the campaign committee of the Republican
League. Hon. q. U. Dodge introduced
Won Morgan as chairman of the meeting.
Colonel Eddy reviewed the histories OF
both the Republican and Democratic par
ties for the last hundred years, showing
conclusively tha. the former is the party
OF progress and patriotism.
The Nebraska Pullman orator Bryan
was shown up by his record in Congress as
being the advocate of free trade and now
the advocate of free silver. Should he be
elected, Colonel Eddy said, he would be
the friend and advocate of free soup for
the masses.
The anarchistic tendencies of the Chi
cago convention to wipe out of existence
the supreme Court of the United States
and substitute in its stead the red flag of
State rights were fully and forcbly pic
tured. The demorallzed condition of the
wooen industry was referred to.
Miss Ella Ellis, pretty brunette, sang
a campaign song, which ELECTED an en-
core and round of applause.
J. b. Banford followed with short adj
dress on the necessity OF voting for Nc
kinley and American protection.

intendent of Streets, in the course of
which he called the attention of all pres
ent to the remarka BILE record made by
Mr.. Elder for the past two years as expert
for the Street Committee of the Board of
Supervisors, in condemning over $500 600

nize a true friend of the people for the efforts
he has made in their behalf during his term
as the City's expert, and we therefore uLite in
indorsing his nomination and urge all true
and loyal men to cast their ballots Tor him.

AN ARMY OFFICER

Quartermaster's Engineer
Humphreys Is Charged
With Dishonesty.
An Inquiry Now Being Con.
Quoted at the Post Head
quarters.
HAS MADE SOME ENEMIES.
And His Friends Say That That Is
All There Is to the
Charges.

For the past several days, in the quiet of
a shady room at military headquarters, in
the Phelan building, there has been an
inquiry going on-not court martial,
but an inquiry-as to the competency of
Lieutenant Humphreys, engineer in the
chief quarterma ster's Office. That is the
way it is given out, but it is well under
stood that the inquiry is directed at a
more serious matter-a charge of dis
honesty.
Colonel Kimball is the chief quarter
master of the department. As his en-
gineer Lieutenant Humphreys has had
active charge of great deal of work that
has been carried on lately in the depart
ment, much of it at the Presidio. While
he does not have the actual making OF
contracts he has much to say in the mat
ter. For long time past there have been
rumors that all was not as it should be in
his relationship with contractors. The
contractors themselves have been chiefly
responsible for the rumors.
Some months ago open charges were
made by some of the contractors against
him and at that time some inquiry was
made. Since then these have been re-
peared, this time by w. J. Holmes, con-
tractor, and the matter brought formally
before Colonel Burton inspector-general
for this coast. That officer is now con-
Quoting thorough inquiry into the mat
ter at headquarters.
Yesterday Lieutenants Hoan and Galley,
quartermasters at different posts with
whom Lieutenant Humphreys comes
much in contact, were to tell what they
knew in the matter.
1t is said in defense of Lieutenant
Humphreys that his position is one in
which it is very easy to make enemies;
that he has made them-quite mum Der OF
them-and that they in their turn have
constant opportunity to do him harm.
His friends say that this is ali there is to
the charge of dishonesty and that Hum
phreys will have little difficulty in making
this clear

TO ENJoIN The AUDITOR.

County Government Law.

The Civic Federation Will Test the
County Government Law.
The Civic Federation has been busy of
late between preparing for the campaign
and the protection of the nominees of the
Non-Partisan party at the polls and during g
the count.
In addition to this an injunction will be
asked for to prevent Auditor Broderick
from auditing the demands of the deputies
of the County Clerk, Sheriff and the other
county officers embodied III the recent de-
cision of the Supreme Court.
This conclusion was reached at a meet
ing OF the federation last night, at which
injunction proceedings will be COM
menced during the present week, with
either Joseph Britton or Stewart Menzies
as the plaintiff and William Broderick as
the party to be enjoined.
This action the federation claims must
be sustained in view of the recent de-
cision rendered by which portion of the
City and County officers are municipal
and others county.
The county officers under this decision,
the federation claims, must pay their
deputies out of their own pockets.
