PALACE THEATRE.
The matter in relation to the Palace
Theatre was taken I'D.
Alderman Little thought the official
recommendation should be adopted.
Alderman Dam favored the report Of
the first assistant engineer.
Alderman Peters thought it might
be we'll to give the parties hearing
Alderman Little thought it was SIM
ply question of whether this board
should accept the report of Captain Ed
ridge, or settle the question itself.
Mayor Baxter read communication
from the Portland Fire Underwriters
saying that the building would be ron
dered unsafe by the Palace theatre
Councilman Flaherty, one of the pro-
prietors, thought his part of the build
ing was safe, but also thought that it
might be we'll to carry water all over the
building.
Alderman Little thought that the
board of underwriters have the matter in
their own hands. This board can only
consider public safety. He said that
Captain Eldridge had stated that some
of the conditions that led him to sign
the license had rot been complied with.
He said that when Captain Eldridge
signed the permit it was agreed
to put in stand pipe.
Alderman Peters thought this was
spripging new matter on the proprie-
tors.
Alderman Thompson said it was simp-
~ question whether the board should
back up Captain Eldridge after the mat
ter had been referred to him.
Alderman buddy agreed with Alder
man Little.
Alderman Randall asked if there was
stand pipe IN City hall.
Mr.. Flaherty said he had tried to be
patient, but he hardly knew what was
required Of him.
Alderman Randall thought the owner
of the building should be cited to APP
not he mt in Good o ord.,r s '--o''>'
On motion Of Alderman Dam the mat

After the committees on the whole as a
licensing board dissolved, Alderman
Smith moved that the board take re-
cess. Adopted.
After recess the board received COM
munication from the lower board that it
had laid on the table the order relat ing
to the purchase of 1000 feet of North
ern pine lumber. On motion of Alderman
buddy, the upper board adhered to its
original position.
Alderman Little thought it was case
requiring committee of conference with
the lower board, and Alderman Thomp-
son and Peters were appointed by the
mayor on the part of the upper board
The special point made by the upper
board was that while the next city gov
eminent could not be legally bound to
make the contract for the lumber, the
adoption of the order sent down would
be sufficient encouragement to the
dealers to order the lumber, taking the
risk of having the contract approved. and

BROWNS TRIAL
NEARLY ENDED.
All the Evidence Is Now in
Possession of the
Council.

Charges of Intimidation Strongly
Supported by New Wit.
neSSeS.
DR.. BROWN AND A YOUNG GIRL.
Incident of Long Ago Recalled by Her
Vote Against the Pastor
Recently.
DIR. BROWN AND A YOUNG GIRL.

The case for and against DR.. Brown
closed last night.
Every vestige of evidence of substan-
tial character which could be brought
against the accused man has been listened
to and carefully sifted by the represen Ia
tives of the Congregational churches.
With equal fairness they have heard the
testimony offered by DR.. Brown, until now
his ecclesiastical brethren are in position
to determine the truth or falsity of the
grave accusations.
No man can forescast the verdict, but
there is prevailing opinion that it will be
nothing worse than unministerial conduct.
The scope of such a verdict will be gov
erned entirely by its wording.
The afternoon session of the council
was confined almost entirely to the intro
duction of evidence relative to DR.. Brown S
attitude toward Mrs Davidson following
the payment of $500 hush money.
Deacons Hatch and Barnard were conf
dent that DR.. Brown had called on Mrs.
Davidson between the 4th and 18th of De-
cember to speak at the Wednesday night
prayer meeting. Mrs. Evans and Deacon
Dewing were equally confident that if
Mrs. Davidson had taken part in the ex-
ercises she had done so voluntarily.
The evening session was devoted to hear
ing the testimony relating to the alleged
intimidation.
The council will meet this morning at
1890, and at II o'clock Pastor Brown is
expected to make his concluding argu-
ment

letters Miss Overman speaks most fer
vently of her friendship for Mrs. David
son. She also refers to DR.. Brown and
to religious matters.
In the letter of February 90 Miss Over
man asked: "W hat do you mean by say
ing that Mrs. Brown seemed different at
prayer r-meeting? Did you mean differ
ent from herself usually or different from
the doctor?"
In the letter of March II she announced
that Mrs. Tunnel was then on the way to
visit her, and that she (Mattie) would en-
Joy her visit very much. She also spoke
of her belief that DR.. Brown was like q
chosen vessel of the Lord. 1t was full of
pious expressions, as were all the letters,
and was signed 10y ours, in Christ, Matte" !"
In the succeeding letter Miss Overman
grows facetious over the tilt between DR..
Brown and DR.. Heron and remarks:
"The future smacks of herring (Herron)
not dried nor fried, but rather picked for
use."
Among the letters was one'dated July 8,
which Mr. Woodlands explained was one
of the FIVE which she had rewritten and
changed. By request of Mr.. Nagle, Mr..
Woodlands read the preceding letter.
that of June II, and the succeeding
one-that of July 10. for the purpose of
showing the lack of harmony between
them and that of July 3.
In the letter of July 3 Miss Overman an
nounces her intention of starting for San
Francisco within eight days. She adds:
81 am sure of welcome from one at any
rate, dear (yourselD. If l am making a
mistake cannot suffer any more, but this
seems the only way for an advantageous
future and, perhaps. for a lesson to one
whom we know"
In the next letter, under date of July 10,
the writer says that she could not start for
San Francisco because she had not sue
ceeded in getting some money that she
expected.
In response to question by the modera-
tor, Mr.. Woodlands explained that the
letters had been given to him by the edi-
tor of morning newspaper.
There being no further witnesses, the
council adjourned until P. NJ. for private
session.

THREATS OF SCANDAL.
Serious Charges Against DR.. Brown
Investigated Last
Night.

Only the favored few-the elect-such as
the defendant and witnesses on both sides,
were admitted to the council chamber
last night. 1t was a session from which
the public were excluded, but the
newspaper reporters were admitted
upon their pledging themselves not
to make public the names OF
certain witnesses who were expected to
testify before the council. Half loaf OF
dry bread being better. than no sandwich,
the reporters took the pledge.
Rev. Mr.. Vreeland, with much fervor,
opened the session with prayer, which was,
in substance, as follows:
We have PRAYED day and night and our
hearts have gone out unto thee. Our thoughts
have been busy in all this tortuous matter,
Thou canst give, the light of truth and love
and vindication and clearness the light OF
pureness and of innocence which shall shine
as from thy face upon all those things.
We pray for clearness of thought, for ear
nestness OF spirit, for strength and wisdom OF
mind. We pray that those interests which
center here may be such, and their outcome
such, that here shall be clearness, praise to
thy name, gratitude OF heart and new life for
this church and its pastor.
DR.. Brown responded "Amen!" with
great unction, and the decks having
thus been cleared for action the mod
orator announced that the council was
ready to take up the charge preferred by a
member of the church that DR.. Brown had
attempted to intimidate young woman
member of the church to prevent her
from voting or acting against him.
The person preferring the charge named
his own condition as to the terms upon
which the witnesses would appear and
testify. They were that no one should be
present save the witnesses who were to be
examined upon that matter, the council,
one deacon to represent the church and
the newspaper reporters, who had pledged
themselves as condition precedent to
their being permitted to remain that they
would not publish the names of any of the
witnesses.
Deacon Morse requested that he he per-
mltted to remain, but the young man pre-

acclamation. John F.. McGovern was

NJ Doyle of the Thirty-seventh District
moved the appointment of committee Of
nineteen on rules and bylaws, to report
at the next meeting, and the motion was
adopted.
The appointment of committee on
grievances was the subject of a motion by
Major Harney. The MAJOR wanted the
committee to consist of one member from
each Assembly district, to be appointed by
the chair
Mr.. Fenton thought the districts should
have the privilege of naming their MEM
bers on the committee.
An amendment providing place Tor the
chairman and secretary on the comnltte6
was accepted and the motion thus amended
was put.
The ayes were obviously in the majority;
but call of the roll was demanded ana
resulted A7 for and 73 against.
Clitus Barbour presented resolution
providing for the appointment OF COM
mittee of fifteen to go before the Demo
cratic State Central Committee next
Saturday, clothed with authority to ex-
press the sentiments of the committee as
voicing the best interests and wishes OF
the Democratic majority of the City.
Gavin McNab took the floor and deliv-
cred stirring address on Democracy
in general and the local party in particrl-
lar, taking Buckley as the target for his
whitening sarcasm and biting satire. He
said that the '.blind boss and his follow
ing had all but ruined the Democracy OF
the State, but the moral element was too
powerful and has prevailed. He traced the
dissension in the party from the time OF
Ponds nomination, showing the demoral-
izing effect OF the Buckley element.
After the appointment OF the following
committee of fifteen in pursuance OF the
resolutionthe meeting adjourned: M. e.

ONDRICEK AND MATERNA.
Scenes Of Enthusiasm at Last Nights
Auditorium Concert.

3
Auditorium Concert.
Very unlike placid, decorous San Fran
cisco audience was the half-flled house
that greeted Madame Materna and Franz
Ondricek at the Auditorium last night.
Perhaps the reason for the building not be-
ing crowded was that this City has had a
plethora of virtuosi lately, but it is long
time since the biggest house here has in
dulged in such frantic enthusiasm as was
aroused by the two artists last night.
1t was Ondricek, the Bohemian violinlst,
who first set the enthusiasm going.
At the close of Ernst's concerto Pathe-
tico there was a frantic demand for an
encore, to which Ondricek responded by
playing Schumann's Evening Song"
The succeeding numbers only confirmed
the good impression made by the artist.
The vocalist of the concert was
heard in this City for years. 1t is all very
we'll to say that Materna has been sing
ing Wagner music for twenty-five years,
and that before appearing in music drama
she sang the older operas, and as
very young girl she appeared in operetta.
These facts only prove Amalia Marerna to
be the greater artist
The difficult "Liebestod" from Tristan
and Isolde showed the wear and tear in
Materna's voice more, but she rendered it
with consummate art, and won SO deter
mined an encore that she finally hJ1 to
plead fatigue in dumb show to escape sing
ing again.
Luckstone showed himself to be an ex-
cellenJ accompanist, and his playing of
Liszt's Sixth Rhapsodie was much ap-
plauded.
The next concert will be given tomorrow
afternoon, and there viii be a grand
popular concert on Sunday evening.
