GENERAL JOHN M. THAYER
The Ex-Governor of Nebraska at
Deaths Door,

LINCOLN (Neb), March 10-Gen-
eral John M. Thayer is dying at his
home here and his end is expected at

SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.-Ber-
tha Paridis, a woman of the tenderloin
district, was murdered in her bagnio at
q ST Mary's street, some time between
2 and 3 o'clock this morning.
ST. Mary street is a narrow thorough
fare running from California to Pine,
about $50 west of Kearny. 1t is thickly
inhabited by women of bad repute, and
during the hours of night is visited by
hundreds of men. Policemen patrol it
continually.
The similarity of the crime to that
of the killing of May McDernott, which
occurred on Morton street about
month ago, leads to the conclusion that
both were committed by the same man,
and the theory is advanced that the
murderer, like Jack the Ripper, is
possessed of a perverted passion, which
impels him to deeds of violence in or
der to satiate an abnormal appetite
Bertha Paridis was a woman of strict
habits. She engaged in the disreputable
life she followed as a business. Promptly
at the. same hour each evening she
opened the den at 27 ST. Mary street
and regularly at 2 in the morning she
closed the outer door and retired to her
apartments at 52S Pine street. where
she met her lover, Caesar Chabaret,
with whom she lived.
Last night she did not arrive at the
usual hour. Chabaret waited until close
to 2:30 when he went forth to look for
her. Naturally he visited the crib. It
was dark and the curtains drawn. The
anxious man forced the door, went in,
and through another door, into a small
room, in which, upon the bed, lay the
dead body of the woman.
That she had been killed by strangu
lation was evident, for from her mouth
protruded parts of napkin and hand
kerchief, which had been forced in and
which gagged as well as strangled.
Chabaret gave the alarm quickly.
Police whistles were blown and in a
moment the entire tenderloin district
was highly excited. Policemen Richter
and Cohen hurried to the place and
took charge of the scene of the crime.
In few moments the Coroner was
summoned and the body taken to the
Morgue.
The murder is a difficult one to solve,
and it seems almost impossible that
it could have been committed and the
guilty have escaped without detection.
The police are satisfied that robbery
was not the object of the murderer.
The woman's money had not been
taken from her person, and the room
had not been searched. Her purse,
containing a small sum of money, was
found in bureau drawer. There was
some jewelry also. The police are thus
far at a loss for a motive for the crime.

Trial of Charges Against the Lieuten-

Trial of Charges Against the Lieuten-
ants Comes to an End.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10.-The
courtmartial in the cases of Lieutenants
Daniels and Dorry of the revenue cut
ter Bear has concluded its investiga.
tions and sent its findings to the Treas
ury Department at Washington. 1t is
understood that the courts exonerated
both officers.
Since DR.. Bodkin of the Bear, who
preferred the charges of drunkenness
and conduct unbecoming officers of the
navy, refused to proceed further, as he
declared that the courtmartial had
planned to whitewash the Lieutenants,
there was nothing left for the board to
do but find that the charges had not
been substantiated.
Secretary Carlisle was notified last
week that the case had virtually fallen
through, and he ordered that the evil
dence which had been taken be at once
transmitted to the department. This
was done to-day and the court, though
it's decision is not final, and may be
reversed by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, went out of existence.

CASE OF DR.. BROWN.

The Wife of the Accused Testifies Be-
fore the Council of Inquiry.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1O.-Miss
Overman was again before the council
of inquiry now investigating the charges
against Rev. DR.. c.. o. Brown of the
First Congregational Church to-day.
She was surprised by an exhibit of sew
eral letters which she had written from
Tacoma to Mrs. Tunnel and Mrs
Davidson in this city, and which con-
tanned reference to her improper rela-
tions with DR.. Brown.
The witness was asked to quote the
alleged interpolated passages from
these letters which have never been
made public.
Council for DR.. Brown objected, but
was overruled.
Recess was then taken, after which
DIR. Browns attorney requested that
Mrs. Browns testimony be taken, as
her husbands illness might prevent her
coming before the council at a later
date.
Mrs. Brown told of her friendship for
and confidence in Miss Oyerman, and
concluded by paying her respects to
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper a prominent
member of the congregation, who has
been foremost in bringing charges
against the pastor. Mrs. Brown said
that it was at her suggestion that Miss
Overman accompanied the doctor on
his trip to Tacoma. She was also aware
that her husband and Miss .Overman
occupied the same section in the sleep
ing car. She wished it understood that
Miss Overman was her friend
In substance, her testimony was an
eulogy of DR.. Brown and Miss Overman.

word has come to reassure those who
are so deeply interested in the steam
ship City of Rio de Janeiro, overdue

pany there has been no giving away

opinion is held that she has either be-
come disabled or has been carried far
out of her course by heavy gales. Her
progress in any event would be slow, as
the former would force her to rely on
sail and the latter would shorten her
coal supply. 1t is anticipated that there
will be speculation in her insurance.
