WILL AID THE
CUBAN PATRIOTS
A Club Formed to Give
Moral and Financial
Support.
One Hundred and Fifty Mem
bers Have Joined the
Organization.
] Fl. Jones Is President and F. E.
Mascherini Sscretary-May Send
Men TO Cuba

The first organized moyem ent in this
City looking toward the freedom of Cuba
from the Spanish yoke has been started,
and already $50 citizens who were thrilled
with tie accounts of General Maceo's
death, have enrolled themselves for the
cause.
The originators of the movement, which
has already taken the form of club, are
J. IL. Jones, who is in the employ of Su-
pervisor G. L. Taylor. and f. S. Mascher-
mi, grocery, wine and liquor dealer,
whose place of business is at 718 Green wich
street.
The object, at present. is not to raise a
force OF armed men to go to Cuba to fight
Tor its freedom, but rather to give finan-
cial and moral support to the patriots who
are now battling against the overwhelm-
Ing armies of General Weyler.
Later, if the movement receives the sup
port and encouragement that is expected,
a mum ber of picked men may be sent to
join one of the numerous bands that are
constantly starting for the scat of war
from Eastern States.
In order to give the matter all the prom
Inence possible. mass-meeting at one of
the big halls in this City will be held in
the near future, and well-known Spea kerS
who are known to be in sympathy with
Cuba will be asked to address the audi
enoe. After that plans for raising funds
will be formulated and every possible
means taken to keep the Cuban unta and
the patriots of the island informed of the
feelings of the people of California toward
them.
The active promoters of the plan are:
]. II. Jones, Faust E. Mascherini, David
Lecari, L. Becker John Sandbench, J.
Olivia, M Murray, Charles. Campbell and
Charles Telghman, and the officers are:
J. H. Jones. president; F. E. Mascherini,
secretary, and David Lecari, sergeant-at-
arms. Several meetings have been held
at the place or business of Secretary Mas
cherini, which is the headquarters of the
club.
I'VE hope to render the struggling
Cubans much aid, +" said President Jones
last evening, ''and to show in substan-
tial way the sympathy we feel for them.
The club, for which we have not - yet
chosen name, already has 150 memb mbers,
and there are many more who are anxious
to join.
If the mass-mee ting that we intend to
call shows us that the people are with US
we will communicate with the Cuban
Junta in New York and arrange to raise
funds in their behalf."

GRAND JURY SESSION.

Title to Mission Plaza and Other Land s
Reserved for Public Use.
The Grand Jury met last evening and
asked City and County Attorney CreswelI
to throw some light on the litigation IN
which title to the Mission Plaza and q
hospital lot is involved. Mr.. Creswell
was with the jury for an hour Or more and
cases.
The purpose of the Grand Jury is to
stimulate the municipal authorities 10
vigorous measures in order that the City
may secure undisputed possession of lands
reserved for public use by the Van Ness
ordinance. Owing TO neglect of officers
chose II to guard the interests OF the City
claimants with little or no shadow OF title
have been allowed to grab and hold valu-
able lands which belong to the public
1t is believed that il the cases now on
the court calendar are handled with skill
and determination valuable lands in dis
pute may yet be saved
The Grand Jury Will adjourn sine die
sometime next week. Committee re-
ports were received and discussed last
night. Another session will be held to-
day. Judge Slack desires 10 follow the
law and impanel another Grand
Jury before the expra ton of the present
year. so the members of the existing Jury
have but few days to complete their re-
port.
The Sharkey- Fitzsimmons przefight did
not engage the attention of the jury last
night. The Civic Federation may send a
ommunfcation on this topic to-day.

THE COOPER INQUEsTs.
No New Light Thrown Upon the Awful
Double Tragedy.

No New Light Thrown Upon the Awful
Double Tragedy.
The inquess on the bodies of Mrs.
Sarah B. Cooper and her daughter Har-
riet were held yesterday at the Morgue.
The testimony was almost identical with
the published accounts OF the sad deaths
oil these well-known pEilanthropists. The
verdict in the case of the daughter was
that she "had come 10 her death by her
own hano while laboring under tempo
rary insanity"
Upon the death of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper
the jury decided that she had "come to
her death Decem Der IL by asphyxia from
;llumin ating gas, and we further find tha.
death occurred at the hand of her daugh-
ter, Miss Harriet Cooper. deceased, while
the said Miss Harriet Cooper was tempo
rarily insane"
The witnesses were John Bonner, Mrs.
G. I. Gaden, Wong Louie (the Chinese
servant) and DR.. Sidney Worth. The tes-
tmony given by these in the case of the
daughter was repeated in the case of Mrs
Cooper, but none of the evidence threw
any new light upon the awful tragedy.
The jurors were: George R: Kibble (foree-
man), E. ]. McNeill, II. f. Finn. A. J.

ter OF the late Frederick E. Gibbs, who for
many years filed with credit many posi-
tions of public trust.
The wedding last evening. owing to the
i'll health of the brides mother, was quiet
and informal. Sixty-iye invited guests
assem- bled in the rose decorated drawing
rooms to witness the ceremony. There
were no bridal attendants.
Little Alice Elvesson, niece of the
groom, preceded the bridal party to the
floral bower, where the solemn words were
spoken. Reuben H. Lloyd, the attorney,
was best man, and Henry Landsberger and
Otto Heyneman ushers.
The bride wore an elegant gown of
white EN- broidered chiffon over a founda-
ton of white satin. At the throat was
pinned a pearl and diamond cluster
brooch, the gift of tie groom.
The bridal gifts were unusually hand
some and costly. There were many pieces
of silver and crystal and much old-point,
the gilt of an old friend of the brides
mother.
Mr., and Mrs. Heyneman will leave this
morning for a bridal tour, which will be
necessarily contracted on account OF the
approaching holidays. The newly wedded
pair, however. expect to extend their trip

FOR HOMELESS GIRLS.
A Bazaar Held at the California Girls
Training Home on Natoma

The California Girls Training Home
held bazaar yesterday from 10 A.
until 10 P. NJ. Mt the homes building, 147
Natona street. The intention was to add
to the fund for the maintenance of the
home, and the manager, Mrs. L. b.
Fischer. says the receipts from the sales
were excellent. All the articles on sale
were made by the twenty-nine girls who
are inmates of the home.
Mrs. Fischer is very much pleased at
the assistance rendered the home by the
Girls High School, which recently held
an entertainment and raised quite large
sum. The money thus acquired will go to
furnishing several of the rooms in the
commodious new building. Their num-
ber is seventy but many are still unfur-
nished.

ARC LIGHTS NOT READY.
Consequently the Sixteenth Street Ce1e-
bration VIII Not Take Place
Saturday Night.

Saturday Night.
The merchants and storekeepers Of
Sixteenth street are sadly disappointed
bv the Edison Electric Light and Power
Company. For some time pass the
Sixteenth street Improvement Club has
been making efforts to have the street
lighted by electric arc lamps from Valen-
cia to Folsom. AT last the means and
support necessary was obtained, and a
contract was made with the Edison people
to have all of the lamps in by Saturday
night. Arrangements were made for q
grand celebration on Saturday evening,
with its attending brass band, bontires
and decorations and crowds Of moving
people.
The m EN- bers of the club yesterday re-
ceived word from the elect1ic-light people
that it will be impossible to get the lamps
put up before next Wednesday. When
the club met last evening disappointment
was visible upon the faces of all. The
club has now decided not to hold O cele-
bration at all upon the occasion of the
lighting of the street as all the other inn
provement clubs in the City will have
had heir celebrations. However, another

of novelty.
it is this. There will be monthly cele-
brations with band, bonfire, etc. The
idea is that on such occasions every mer-
chant and dealer in the blocks and those
on Mission street, from Fifteenth to Sew
enteenth, will have special sales In some
of their lines of goods. Every ona con-
tributing to the fete will have his special
sale advertised on the bane-wagon and on
street posters. The purpose is to cause
the people from the surrounding districts
to flock to the light and music, attracted.
not only by these features but by the GER
tsinty of obtaining good bargains. 1t is
likely that the first monthly celebration
will be held on New Years eve. There is
rumor in the Mission that the large
laundry on Sixteenth street is about to
put in large electric lighting and power
plant and make bid for street, store and
house lightins of the entire district
