 COPPER.
 The Engineer and Minning Journal says: The market has displayed un- ususl activity and the tendency has been stronger than was wI,nesse d since last fall. The reason for this snddsn change have already been partly is- dicated in our last issue, when we call Cd the attention of our readers to a very eager and large demand for ex- port, which at the beginning of this week assumed such proportions that producers raised their prices, the more so as there was general disposition among manufacturers here to lay in supplies something which they had not thought Of doing mp to few days previous. h the opinion 0: some, prices advanced fsr mere than seemed warranted, others again coutend that the quantities ayailaj!c proved very much smaller than had been au'icipst- d and the latter seems to be true in 60 far as exports during the last few month have been much heavier than usual. In addition 10 this, many of the producers have sold largely Tor two or three months 10 como, and es. pecialIy may this be said of enc group of mining companies which are near ly sold up in thi, direction.

turned and fired another shot at his pur-
suer. Again he missed, but the bullet
struck some hard object down the street
and part Of it flew across the avenue and
struck NJ. L. Lasky, VINO was watching the
affair from the door of his pawnshop. The
splinter of lead cut Mr.. Lasky's wrist, but
the wound was not serious.
On the north side OF Sutter street, the
officer again fred a shot at the fellow S
legs. The pursuit was kept up to Bush
street, where Nolan ran into the arms of
Officer Webster, who was attracted by the
shooting.
Officer w. E. Dinan arrived about a
minute later and the fellow was disarmed.
In all FIVE shots were fired, but the pawn
broker alone was hit.
The shooting caused great deal of ex-
element, for at the time Sutter street and
Grant avenue were crowded with people
doing their Christmas shopping. Officer
Owen said he could have hit the fellow
in the body, but he did not think it ad-
visab BILE to elevate the muzZle of his reyoi-
yer for fear that to miss his man, which
was possible, might have resulted in the
injury of some innocent person further up
the street.
Nolan was sent to the California street
police station and two charges of assault
to commit murder and ono of petty lar
ceny were entered against him. He bears
very bad reputation with the police,
having been arrested many times for all
kinds of crimes and offenses.

THE BROOKLYN HOTEL.

Few men on this coast are more widely
or favorably known than Charles Mont
gomery, who has made the Brooklyn
Hotel on Bush street one of the most pop
ular and successful in San Fran cisco. It's
high standard of respectability has made
it the favorite family hotel, and it is
largely patronized by the very best class
of people visiting the City. Its table is
one of its great features and it is not sur
passed by that of any hotel in the City.
The rooms are we'll furnished and well
kept and modern Improvements are con-
stantiy being made. The rates are re-
markably low as compared with other
tirst-ciass houses For board and room
the charge is from 81 to 81 per day. 1t is
also conducted on the European plan at
from so cents to 81 so per day. The hotel
runs two free coaches.

GEORGE GREEN'S DECISION.
Olympic Directors VIII Eead Affdavits
From the Judges of the Egan
and Hayes Contest

On Tuesday afternoon next the direc-
tors of the Olympic Club will pass judg-
ment on decision that was rendered in
the late boxing tournament by George
Green, by which M. Egan of the Manhat-
tan Club was deprived of a prize.
1t will be remem bered by members of
the club who witnessed the tournament
that Egan and M. P. Hayes of the Olym-
pic boxed four rounds and that Egan mad
much the better of the first three rounds.
with Hayes scoring lead in the latter
round.
Phil Wand, who was one OF the judges
of the contests, handed Referee Green on
piece of paper his decision, which was
in favor of Egan. Alexander Ros borough
of the Reliance Athletic Club, who was
the second judge selected, decided in
favor of an extra round or draw if an
extra round was contrary to rule.
When Referee Green read the judgments
as rendered by the judges he, contrary to
all amateur rules, decided. without even
blushlng, in favor of Hayes. Egan looked
nonplussed and quietly remarked to his
seconds that it seemed as if an outsider
could not possibly get decision in the
Olympic Club unless he knocked his op-
ponent cold.
In Justice 10 the Olympic Club, the gem
tIemen who officiated on that evening
were disagreeably surprised at Green's de-
cision, and Director Howard p TAYLOR is
determined that the directors shall prop
erly understand why Egan did not receive
the award.
Affidavits from Messrs. Ward and Ros-
borough will be read at meeting OF the
directors next Tuesday afternoon and as
the prizes have not as yet been distributed
to the winners it is very probable that Mr.
Egan will receive prize in value equally
as good as the one he contested for. The
directors are determined that no profess
sional schemes shall be introduced to
initiate against the very excellent anna
teur standing which the Olympic Club
enjoys. They favor equal rights and a
fair field to all athletes who box under the
auspices of their club

FAUSS IS NOT
YET CAPTURED
Steady and Careful Search
Being Made for
Him.
Twenty Years Ago He Was One
of the Best.Known Ball
Players.
The Police Have Issued a Circular
Giving a Description of the
Murderer.

a steady and careful search has been
made by detectives and policemen spe-
cially detailed for David Fauss, alias Lit
tie Dave" the murderer OF Joseph Man
ming, but he is still at large. Every ave-
nue. of escape has been guarded, and his
capture is only question OF time.
An eyewitness of the shooting called on
Captain Lees yesterday and said he was
in the door of the saloon when he heard
the three shots fired. Fauss hurried out
of the saloon with the smoking revolver
in his hand, and turned into Minna street
toward Fifth, putting the revolver into his
pocket as lie walked along. That was the
last seen of him.
Sophie Smith, the woman over whom
Manning, before his death, said the trouble
arose, was found in .sdive" on the Bar
barry Coast early yesterday morning in a
state of maudlin intoxication. She WAS
taken to Iodging-house and will be asked
to make a statement when she is sober
enough to do so. She has for years been
known to the police as a dissolute woman
and has several times been arrested for
vagrancv.
Captain Lees has issued the following
notice to all the police stations and sent 1t
broadcast:
Arrest for murder David Fauss, alias Little
OaVe, VINO murdered Joseph mduuIuS dI LIZ

Height 5 feet inches; age, about so; weight,
160 pounds; heavy chested and square-shoul-
dered; dark swarthy complexion, dark brown
mustache; bow-legged; wore dark shabby
suit and dark box hat.
Fauss was a basebalI-player and first
baseman with the Knicker bockers late in
the seventies and early eighties. He also
played with the O.vmpics in Washington,
D. c., in 1871. In 1879 he played with the
Cincinnatis and came to this City in 1882,
playing with the Buffalos and Omahas
and has since then remained here.
Fauss lodges at cheap lodging-houses
and hangs around second-class drinking
saloons and fleeces suckers with the aid
of a woman. According to the police
Manning and Fauss are believed to have
quarreled over swindling sucker" III
the Knickerbocker saloon, 906 Kearny
street, on Monday night, which resulted
in the murder. Fauss accused Manning
of standing in with the woman against
him and they had fight in the saloon.

and the thoroughfare being crowded the
wonder is that no one was killed or seri-
ously wounded.
Nolan was arrested and two charges of
an assault to commit murder were placed
opposite his name on the prison register.
The trouble came about in this way
Nolan, who has been arrested many times,
has recently been spending his days and
nights in the saloons on Grant avenue
from Sutter to Geary streets. Yesterday
William Abbott, who keeps saloon at
No. 210 lost a couple of turkeys and his
barkeeper told him that he saw Nolan
steal the poultry. When Nolan returned
at 1 O'Clock Abbott accused him of the
theft anG Nolan answered by calling the
saloon-kee per vile names. Whether there
was an exchange Of blows or not is not
established, as the witnesses differ.
At any rate Abbott told Nolan to return
the stolen property and threatened to call
the police. Nolan started to leave the
saloon, but Abbott seized him by the COL
lar, and told the barkeeper to blow the
whistle for the police to arrest the fellow.
Quick as fash Nolan jerked away from
his captor, and at the same time drew a
revolver from his pocket and fired a shot
at Abbott, who was less than ten feet from
him, but the bullet missed the mark.
Officer Dan Owen was in M. E. Lasky's
pawnshop, next door, when the shot was
fired, and he ran to the sidewalk in time
to seize Nolan as he emerged from the
saloon. There was struggle, the officer
endeavoring to knock the revolver from
the big fellows hand.
"Give me that gun, Mike. You know
me. You know / am an officer" cried
Owen, but Nolan only shifted the weapon
to the other hand.
At that minute come of Nolan's friends,
who had evidently accompanied him to
the saloon, seized the officer and hurled
him backward. Nolan ran to the middle
of the street and Officer Owen started to
follow, but stopped on the edee of the
sidewalk for he saw the revolver leveled at
his head. A sharp report followed and
the bullet flew harmlessly past.
Nolan then turned and ran toward Sut-
ter street and Owen quickly drew his
revolver and gave chase. People scattered
in all directions. The officer commanded
the fleeing man to halt, but again the
ugly blue weapon was pointed at him, but
only for moment, when the fellow began
to run.
Owen saw that the sidewalk ahead was
clear and he fired shot at Nolan's feet,
hoping to bring him down. The bullet
missed and only increased Nolan's pace.

MRS. LONG Is FREE.
Granted a Divorce From the Youn G
Attorney After Two Months of
Unhappiness.

The merry holidays are being celebrated
in the Superior Court by an unusual food
of divorce business. and the Judges are
showing a Willingness to make homes
happy by granting the legal separations SO
eagerly demanded.
The most noted case on the list yester-
day was that of Florence Long against
Attorney James FL. Long, the circum-
stances OF the marriage and divorce at
tracing wide attention.
Some society gossip was caused by the
fact that witnesses who served at the Long
wedding less than two months ago also
acted as witnesses at the divorce trial yes
terday.
On Novem Der 4 Mr.. Long secured lie
cense to marry Miss Florence Marks of
1015 Golden Gate avenue. The next day
the couple were married by Judge Belcher,
and the ceremony was witnessed by Henry
b. Adler, brother-ln-law of the bride,
and Isaac L. Marks a brother. On No.
VEN Der 6 Mrs. Long left her husband and
con6ded her troubles to her sister, Mrs.
Adler who advised her to get divorce
Immediately.
1t was deemed necessary to avoid a
scandal, so the services of Attorney Kowal-
sky, who had his law office with Long,
were enlisted. He was very reticent for
some time, ana finally filed complaint
alleging that Long had been guilty of acts
of infioelity on December 10. Yesterday
Long filed an answer denying the offense,
| but when the case was called yesterday
morning by Judge Seawell he failed to put
in an appearance, and offered no defense.
Mrs. Long was the first witness, and
her testimony established the fact that
she had been married. Her brother and
brother-in-law told of the acts of Mr.
| Long and the court granted divorce.
Margaret Seley was divorced from a. w.
Seley in Judge Hunts court because the
defendant was convicted of a felony.
| Seley was clerk IN hotel and stole lot
OF money belonging to his employer. He
left the City, taking with him young
woman. The couple lived in San Jose
under assumed names for several months,
but were finally discovered, and Seley was
compelled to pay the penalty of his crime.
HIS wife thought she was entitled TO be
relieved from the CALLING yoke of such
matrim onial thralldom, and in this the
court graciously agreed.
Other divorces were granted yesterday,
as follows: Annie West from Edward
West, for desertion; Mary J. Reilly from
Joseph William Reilly, for wilful neglect
| Only one divorce suit was filed yester-
day: Grace Hamilton against Walter j.
Hamilton.

STATE TARIFF. NEEDS.
The Subject to Be Discussed in Con-
vention of Manufacturing Rep
resentatives.

The California delegation in Congress
has specially requested that all the manu-
featuring and industrial bodies in the
State meet with the San Francisco Cham
Der of Commerce at 10 A. NJ. January Z,
1897. At this convention the tariff needs
OF the State will be discussed in the fullest
detail. The Congressional representatives
state that heretofore estimates and infor-
nation as data for legislation at Washing
ton has come from individuals rather than
representative bodies, and such sugges-
tions savored more of personal interest
than of public needs.
1t is the earnest desire that every in
portart industry will send delegates to
the tariff conference. Not only should
the manufacturers be represented, but the
wool, fruit, coal and lumber interests as
we'll. County boards of supervisors and
agricultural societies are invited to be
represented. BY this method it is thought
that all industries of the State will be con-
sidered when the new tariff bill is framed.

UNIQUE CHRISTMAS TREE
Good Samaritan ChorIsters Sing old
English Carols at the Palace
and Other Hotels.


About thirty choirboys of the Mission OF
the Good Samaritan visited the various
hotels last night and sang number of old
English Christmas carols. The singing
was good and was well received.
At the Palace, where the boys appeared
first, q large Christmas tree had been
erected, and the songsters gathered bout it
in the Palace court. The tree is about
forty feet high, and was beautifully alumni
mated with white, red and blue electric
lights. 1t came from the vicinity of San
Anselmo, was stated to weigh about 1900
pounds, and was the largest ever brought
here over the railroad.
The chorsters sang for several minutes,
and then visited the Bella Vista, going
eventually to the Occidental and other
hotels, besides some other public places.
For several years past the choristers of
the Good Samaritan Mission have bee n
accustomed to visit the hotels and news
paper offices on Christmas eve. Their
singing last night was up to the usual
standard

people south of Market street were ac-
quainted with him, but few of them knew
anything about his history other than he
player.
The police have searched everywhere for
q photo of Fauss, but have failed to find
one. He is believed to be in hiding in the
City and as he is personally known to sew
eral of the officers who are searching for
him he cannot, it is thought, possibly es-
cape.
