ments at the Carrollton, corner Market
street and Golden Gate avenue, yesterday
afternoon at five minutes after O'Clock
The immediate cause of death was con-
sumption.
The body now lies at the embaIme err 8, and
some time to-day will be shipped to Sac
ramento for interment, where his family
lives, and where a brother and sister, who
preceded him in crossing the dark river
are buried. During the last moments of
the sick man his suffering was calmed by
the soothing presence of his mother, who
came to this City as soon as she learned
that the illness of her son was serious.
About four years ago Gibson was troubled
with blood-poisoning, and it was found
necessary to perform an operation in order
TO relieve him. AT the expiration of the
operation, three competent physicians
who remained in constant attention on
him, gave it as their opinion at his bed
side that the hours of his life could be
mum bered on the fingers of one hand
Such was the remarkable vitality of the
man, however, that he recovered, but
never again was strong physically.
Two months ago it was found necessary
to perform another operation, which took
place in the German Hospital of this City.
His weakened constitution was unable TO
withstand the strain, ana his friends think
the last operation only hastened his de-
cease.
Fred Gibson began life as a peanut
butcher on one OF the Southern Paclfcs
lines. His was a checkered career. Though
only "a years old when death overlook
him, he had seen more of life in all its
phases than most octogenarians.
For many years he resided IN Sacra-
mento, but few years ago a wandering
spirit took possession OF him, and, in COM
pany with w. G. Cook, the com panion of
his boyhood, he went to South Africa to
see if there was an opening in business.
After lengthy sojourn, and after passing
through many stirring scenes, his opinion
of that region may best be sum med up in
his own language. There is no opening
here for any foreigners that come from
America"
Gibson and Cook then made lengthy
tour of the Continent, passing through
Paris, London, Dublin, Berlin and many
other places of interest. Two years ago
from the 18th of last January the two
came to San Francisco and started the
well-known resort, "Our House," on Mar
ket street. Their financial gains have been
heavy.
1t is said OF Gibson that his word was as
good as his oath. His friends could be
found in any place Of prominence in the
from his door, and no street-beggar ever
besought aims at his hands in vain.
Gibson left widow, Mrs. Della A. Glib
son, to whom he was married fourteen
years ago in Sacramento. None of the
children resultant from this union have
survived.
The funeral will be held Thursday.

AULT IS ACQUITTED.
A Jury Decides That He Did Not
Beat His Little Daughter
Lizzie.

Joseph Ault, ex-secretary of the Stan
dard Oil Company. was acquitted by Jury
in Judge Lows court last evening of the
charge of cruelty to his little daughter
Lizzie.
The charge was made that on Saturday,
March 81, Ault struck the little girl several
blows on the face with his closed fist,
knocking two of her teeth down ber
throat, blacking her eyes and bleeding her
nose.
The little girl was allowed to testify, but
she said her father never struck her. nor
whipped her, and no one had coached her
what to say.
Aristides Pondi, butcher, 1911 Mission
street, whose shop adioins the house occu-
pied by Ault, testified to seeing the blows
struck and begging Ault not to kill the
child. Other witnesses testified as to The
condition of the chiIds face.
A number of witnesses for the defense
testified that the little girl had accounted
to- them for her blackened eyes and swoller
nose by saying she had been swinging or
a ladder in the yard and had fallen, hel
face striking against the ladder. Mrs. Aul
testified that she pulled the two teeth ou
of the girl s jaw herself as they were loose

GERTIE CARLISLE.
Gustav Walter Arrested for Employ
ing Her to Sing at the
Orpheum.

Gustav Walter of the Orpheum sur
rendered himself at the City Prison yes
terday afternoon, as he heard there was a
warrant out for his arrest for employing a
minorto to sing. The warrant was procured,
and, after the charge had been registered
against him, he presented an order for his
release.
The complaining witness is Frank Hol-
brook of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children and the minor is
Gertie Carlisle, the clever little girl who
has been favorite in the Alcazar, Tivoli,
Orpheum and other places of amusement
since her arrival in the City.
Mr.. Walter said he could not under
stand why he should have been selected
for arrest seeing Gertie had been perform
ing in other places without interference.
She sang in the East before coming here.
and Elbridge Gerry, the head of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren in New York, had given Mrs. Car
Isle permit for Gertie to appear on the
stage there. Mrs. Carlisle had told him
that she had a permit from the society
here

After a Republican Editors Hide.

We are in receipt of marked copy,
of the Lexington Leader, Republican
paper, bearing the date of Feb. l1tl.
with the following caustic article,
which is rather significant and hits,
the Sc rs Republican editor, whoever
he may be, squarely between the eyes.
THE LEADER AN MIGRATE.
''One of the Republican newspapers
that abuses The Leader for its stand
for Mckinley for second choice, and
insinuates that it is disloyal to the
Republicans of Kentucky who have
supported it, owes the Leader Prin-
ing Company 1878 for white paper
loaned in All emergency several years
ago. Our delinquent contemporary
evidently is not straining itself to
support The Leader. If Republi-
cans generally had been as considerable
The Leader would have died long ago
for lack of support"
Would it not have been the part of
prudence had Brother Roberts been
more specific, for as the article reads,
in the eyes of those who see the
above extract, except the editors
themselves, it reflects on the entire
Republican brotherhood. These Re-
publican quill drivers are after the
Leader because he has had the courage
to express his second choice for Re-
publican candidate for President of
the United States, that man being Nc
Kinley. OF course he is for the great
Bradley first, but believing it possible
that he can not win, he has urged the
Kentucky Republicans to send Brad
ley, who would be favorable to
Mckinley should Mr.. Bradley fail to
have the longest pole, and for such a
serious offense his brethren have
talked plainly, pointedly and severely,
even TO the extent that some charge
him with being an migrate. Well its
their business to do the wool pooling

Hopkinsville is all torn up over a
sensational suit filed in the Circuit
ICourt by DIR. Andrew Seargaut
against Mrs. George Merritt, Jr., and
her husband praying $4,000 damages
for defamation of character. DIR
Seargank who formerly resided at
Lancaster, KY, claims that Mrs. Mer-
rift has maliciously circulated false
reports concerning him for the pur-
pose of protecting her son, George
Merritt, Jr, After making many 9TH
sger charges, the petition states that
Mrs. Merritt has been active in circu-
iating the report that DR.. Seargant
and not George Merritt, Jr., was the
father of the child of Miss Maggie
Conley, which is dead. The
plaintiff states it can be proved al
the trial that Miss Conley brought suit
and named young Merritt as the faith
eli of her child and the author of her
ruin. Other charges were that Mrs.
Merritt tried to ruin his practice and
to shield her son by casting disgrace
on him.

Post Norton Of Pearl Bryan. :
What II Proves.

Since the murder OF Pearl Began
the reading public has been closely
watching every development, hoping
To arrive at some definite conclusion
regarding this most terrible and hor-
rifying murder, The post norton
which we add below may throw some
light on the case as to the manner. If
the report be true that the organs were
found free of blood then the conclu-
sion can be that Pearl Bryan was de-
capitated IN the vigor OF life. That
the unfortunate woman was overpow-
cred by demon murderers and be-
headed.
POST MoRTEM.
DR.. Robert Carothers has finished
writing The official report of the two
post mortems held over the remains OF
Pearl Bryan.
The body of decapited woman
without rigor mortis, post-moriem
discolorations or bruises or cuts, ex-
cept an incised wound on the palmer
surface of the index, middle and ring
fingers of left hand q clear ent to the
bone.
The instrument with which the head
was severed from the body made a
clean and smooth cut of three-fourths
of the neck, the remainder, little
ragged, passed in the inner space be-
tween the vertebrae, and the thyroid
and the cricoid cartiliges were taken
with the head.
The was no evidence of an lnstru-
ment for producing an abortion having
been used.
A second autopsy was held. The
heart was found healthy,a and both ven-
tricles empty. The walls of the right
ventricle contained little oozing
blood. The walls of the left none.
The other organs were examined and
found healthy, and thoroughly drained
of their normal blood. The blood
vessels, where they could be readily
reached, were found TO be empty, ex-
cept a small clot in the pulmonary
artery, where it energies from the
heart. The body was carefully ex-
amined for hypodermic needle pune
lures, and none were found.

The manufacturers are going on
with their manufacturing, and are
selling more goods to outsiders than
they ever did before. They would
not object to more tariff and more pro-
fit; but they are doing very well with
the present average duty OF AZ per
cent. The Hobbies at Washington are
not as full of tariff fixers as usual this
winter, and we imagine that there
will be more difficulty in frying the
