John Buckley died at the Receiving
Hospital shortly after O'Clock yesterday
morning and his body was removed to the

Gercken was booked at the City Prison
charged with the murder.
Buckley was go years of age and was
employed in the lumber-yards at North
Beach. He lived at 927 Broadway with
his wife and two sons and daughter. He
left home on Saturday night and did not
return. About 10 o'clock Sunday morning
Buckley was in the. saloon of Mrs. Bar
borough, on the corner of Mason and
Green streets. He had been drinking
heavily and was inclined to be quarrel
some. He was in the company of young
man named "Mosey' Lee.
Buckley and Lee made some offensive
remarks to Mrs. Barborough and Gercken,
who was in the saloon, interfered to pro-
tect her. This angered Buckley and he
have a row Gercken walked out of the
saloon, and Buckley followed him to the
sidewalk and abused him for interfering
with MIN.
The old man again attempted to strike
Gercken, who retaliated and hit him on
the breast, knocking him down. In his
fall his head struck the sidewalk with con-
siderab Bile force, rendering him unconscious.
Policeman G. A. Anderson was sent for
and had Buckley taken to the Receiving
Hospital. An examination showed that
Buckley's skull was badly fractured and
considering his advanced age it was
thought his recovery was extremely doubt
ful. He never regained consciousness and
died early yesterday morning.
Gercken is 26 years old and lived with
his parents at 627 Lombard street. He

was an employe OF the American Brewing
Company. He was arrested on Sunday by
Policeman Anderson and was detained in
the tanks pending the result of the old
mans injury.
AT the time of his arrest Gercken made
the following statement: 81 was in sa-
loon on the corner of Mason and Green
streets when Buckley and friend OF his
named Lee came in. We all drank to-
gether. Buckley and Lee insulted Mrs.
Barbrough and | attempted to quiet the
old man, when he struck me in the face.
walked out and Buckley followed me. He
called me lot of hard names and at
tempted to strike me. pushed him away
and he fell to the sidewalk. / then walked
away"
Some boys, who saw Buckley and Gercken
on the sidewalk, told Policeman Anderson
that Gercken had struck the old man sew
eral times with his fists before he was
knocked down.
DR.. Barrett made an autopsy on the
body yesterday and found that death was
caused by cerebral hemorrhage arising
from fracture of the skull. An inquest
will be held.

MISSION FOR MEN.
The Rev. Charles L. Neil of Sausalfto
breaches at the Chapel of the
Good Samaritan.

Good Samaritan.
AT the Chapel of the Good Samaritan on
Folsom street the Rev. w. l. Kip is con-
Quoting three days mission for men.
Last night the speakers scheduled were
District Attorney Barnes and the Rev.
Charles l.. Neil of Sausalito.
But Mr.. Barnes telegraphed he would be
detained at Baden, which would prevent,
much 10 his regret, his address for the
evening.
The chapel was crowded, and the SER
vices were followed with much earnestness.
Mr.. Neil preached ON the Miracle of
Transformation" He drew the picture of
Lazarus in the tomb and contrasted this
with the picture of him sitting at the
table partaking of the same repast with
Christ and Mary and Martha. ''This is
the most remarkable contrast that is set
forth in the Bible,'' said the speaker.
There he lay in the cold, dark tomb
surrounded by the dead. When Christ
stood before the entrance and called
to Lazarus to awaken his voice pen
etrated the innermost depths of that
chamber of death and transformed the
dead man to one full OF buoyant life.
The change was not only inward, but also
outward.
such a change occurs in the life and
heart of any man who has been awakened
by the Savior. When good has been i'm
planted in the heart the actions will be-
speak the change within"
This evening the meeting will be ad-
dressed by Attorney A. NJ. Drown and the
Rev. w. l. Kip.
The mission Is carrying on crafty
ingly successful work in that portion of
the Mission district, over 1900 member
having so far joined. The reading-rooms
and gymnasium make pleasant place for
gatherings at night and the opportunity is
well taken advantage of by the numerous
members.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Senate-
The two senators from the new
state Of Utah, Frank j. Cannon and
Arthur Brown, were on the floor of
the senate today for the first time.
They were the centre Of an animat-
ed group in the rear of the cham

to extend to them welcome.
There was an added interest to
their arrival, owing to the vote on
the silver bond bill, in which they
are expected to participate. The

Disaster in a Welsh Oolliery,

CARDIFF, Wales, Jan. ga ter
rible explosion took place in the
colliery at Taylorstown near here
today. The shafts were shattered
and the whole town shaken by the
tremendous conclusion, causing a
scene OF wild excitement. Fifty
four miners were below the surface
when the explosion occurred and
although several of them have
reached the surface with the dead
body Of one OF their companions, it
is supposed that nearly all the re-
mainder were killed. Rescue par
ties have been hurried to the scene,
but their work is very dangerous,
owing to the fact that the pit Is on
fire.
Later advices are to the effect
that twelve bodies have been re-
covered from the colliery and that
twelve men are still missing.

A CORRECTION.

0. L. Dignowity VS.. Henry Elmendorf.
To the San Antonio Daily LIGHT.
In your issue of Sunday morn
ing, you quote the verdict in the
case of G. l.. Dlgnowity vs. Henry
Elmendorf, which is as follows:
ave, the jury, after due consid-
Grafton Of all the evidence and the
charge OF the court, find for the de-
PENDANT in all things except that we
find for the plaintiff for the amount
Of all notes held against him by
defendant with interest thereon,
and further find for plaintiff in the
sum Of S., 900 and interest thereon
claimed from him by defendant
under the contract OF February 8,
1890"
You go on to say that the total
amount sued for was $4,000 and
the verdict Is equivalent to $4S,-
1850. Where your reporter get
this information, l am not able to
say, further than that it was not
certainly from the verdict.
In the first place the amount
claimed by the plaintiff was some
thing over 100000, and in the Sec
ond place the verdict was against
the plaintiff In all things. In plain
words, the jury found for the de.
PENDANT, except that they found
for the plaintiff against defendant
on his defendant plea in reconven-
ton in which defendant asks a
Judgment or credit over and
against plaintiff for the sum OF
So, 500, with accrued interest, ETC.,
on certain promissory notes which
defendant, Elmendorf, held against
Dignowity. The jury also found
in favor of plaintiff for s., 900 which
the defendant had paid to him in
1889, andI mentioned in the con-
tract Of February Sd, 1890, and for
which amount,the defendant asked
for a judgment over and against
plaintiff in his plea in recouven-
ton.
The verdict was a clear settle
ment of Messrs. Dignowity's and
Elmendorf, differences, and ad-
judged the costs against the
plaintiff, Dignowlty, who did
not recover one cent against
the defendant Elmendorf.
Be pleased to give this a place in
your next publication correcting
the error, in which you claim that
Dignowity recovered judgment
against Elmendorf for the sum of
S4S, 1880. r. l.. SUMMERLIN.

COMBS ALL THE RAGE.
New Fashions of Dressing the Hair and
the Latest Ornaments.

New Fashions of Dressing the Hair and
the Latest Ornaments.
The women who have been fond of
dressing their hair with feathers and
aigrettes will have to give them up this
winter or be hopelessly out of date, for
the feathers must go. Combs of all
sizes and shapes are the correct head
ornaments, so the fashionable jewellers
and hair-dressers say, and they come in
endless variety, so far as material and
design are concerned.
There seems to be a very different
way of arranging the hair for every
face, and yet all are stylish. The
woman with dark, glistening locks
mGst wear her hair in the evening after
the style of Empress Josephine if she
has the face to stand it, and the dia-
mond and pearl tiara which gives the
finishing touch to this very fetching ar
rangement of her locks. If she can't
afford the latter two or three strands
of imitation pearls look well wound in
and out among the dark puffs. Dark
hair does not look well too much be-
frizzled. Crimping causes it to lose its
luster, which is brought out by light
ornaments. On the other hand, the
woman with yellow or reddish hair
should wave it on all sides and puff il
up in fluffy mass.
Medium-sized tortoise shell combs
ornamented with applied silver are
more popular than anything else just
now, but they really show off better in
light hair than in any other. Black
garnet and mat jet combs and hair-pins
are being imported from Paris and are
already very popular. Many of them
come in crescent and butterfly shapes,
and are thickly studded with rhine
stones. The side combs match, and the
effect of these novelties in blonde hair
II gorgeous and striking
The silversmiths report big run on
the enameled and jeweled bodies of butt
terhies. The ornaments have an ar
rangement at the back which permits
of ribbon wings of the color of the
gown. The demure maid who clings
to her crimpless part and coils her hair
very high on her head may thrust one
of these butterflies in at the back Of
the part and so relieve its severity. She
may even go further and fill her hair
with very small enameled and jeweled
butterfly and flower pins and so obtain
an effect altogether japanese.
Few women can afford to dress their
hair low on their necks, even with the
aid Of crimps and puffs, but those who
do must not fail to set off the knot with
an immense tortoise-shell back comb
curving almost from ear to ear, If they ,
wish to be in the very latest style.-
