DIR. BROWNS CONDUCT
The Council Still Engaged in Hearing
the Charges Against Him.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE
church council now investigating the
charges of immoral conduct against
Rev. C. O. Brown of the First Congre-
gational Church held three sessions to-
day. but contrary to expectations moth
ing CT an exceptionally startling nature
was developed.
Two. OF the church deacons testified
that on two different occasions after
Mrs. Davidson had obtained $500 hush
money from DR.. Brown, the pastor re-
quested her to lead in prayer and ad-
dress prayer meetings.
A young lady member of the congre-
cation, whose name is withheld by the
counsel testified that eighteen months
agc, while engaged in decorating the
church, she inspected the church organ,
accompanied by the organ repairer. DIR.
Brown saw them emerge from behind
the Crgan, and after the scandal had
developed and she had sided against
the castor, he threatened to ruin her
character by publishing the incident
DR.. Brown denied that he had tried to
coerce the young lady, or that he had
done more thar appeal to her charity.
Fie admitted that he did not think there
was anything improper about her visit
to the organ.
The young lady's statements were
corroborated by her mother.
1t is reported tonight that the council
expects to land as witnesses the two
porters who were employed on the
sleeping car in which DR. Brown an1
Miss Cverman journeyed to Tacoma in
1894
LATER-The case for and against DR..
Brown Unexpectedly closed tonight.
Every vestige of evidence of a substan-
tial character which could be brought
against the accused man has been
listened to and carefully sifted by the
representatives of the church. With
equal fairness, they have heard the tes-
timony offered by DR.. Brown, until now
his eeclesiastic brothers are in a posi-
ton to determine the truth or falsity of
the grave accusations.
No man can forecast the verdict, but

A CAPITALIST MISSING.
Wandered Away While Suffering With
Temporary Insanity.

SEATTLE (Wash.), March 12.-On
the night of February oath last, while
suffering from temporary insanity
brought on by spinal trouble, George
w Iysle, formerly member Of the
firm Of Lysle Bros, prominent Cincin-
natl coal dealers, escaped from a hos
pital III Fair Haven, Wash, and has not
been seen since. He is supposed either
to have committed suicide or to be wan
deriug in the dense forests which sur
round Fair Haven. His friends incline
tc the former theory, though his brother,
John Lysle, an officer on the steamer
State OF Washington when seen by a
correspondent of the United Press to-
night. said he still had hope that the
missing man would be found alive
Every possible searcher is engaged in
the hunt.
Mr. Lysle has a wife residing in San
Rernardlno, Cal. The injury which
took him down was sustained several
years ago, but he was not brought to
bed until about the beginning of the
present year. He is 80 years old, and
very wealthy.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12.-The
,nuch-talked-of boxing contest between
Alexander Greggains and Tom SharKey
at the Rush-street Theater this even
ing ended in a draw.
The Hawkins -McGoldrich contest
ended in the middle of the second round.
Hawkins easily found beautiful open
ing. and planting his right fist on ms
opponents jaw, McGoldrich of Los An
geles went to sleep on the cold, cold
floor.
After some preliminary boxing and
wrestling bouts the event of the even
ing appeared The referee was Ed.
Hoeman. Sharkey appeared at least
fifteen pounds heavier than Greggains,
but the latter was some inches taller
and more of an athlete in proportions
After considerable fiddling Sharkey
was the first to lead on Greggains'
breast. Greggains got home few light
taps at long range on Sharkey's face,
but the latter smiled blandly ana kept
sending home left jabs, which failed
to reach their destination with force.
In the second round Greggains was
the first to land, a good heavy LETT on
Sharkey's nose. Sharkey swung his
right at Greggains' head, but the lat
ter easily ducked and thereby avoided
punishment. Once again Greggains
planted his left on Sharkey's nose and
handsomely ducked away from
sledgehammer swing.
In the third round Sharkey made
mad rush at Greggains from his cor
ner, when time was called, but he
missed the target by several yards.
Greggains stopped Sharkey few
times with straight left-hand stops,
but in a rally that followed Sharkey
got in a few good punches on Alexan-
der's neck. Heavy blows were struck
during the bout.
In the fourth round a short rally
opened the engagement. Both men
landed in the neck and face, and Greg
gains missed a grand opening which
was given him to put his right duke on
Sharkey's jaw. The latter forced the
pace, and smashed Greggains few
times on the face and neck.
During the fifth round Greggains
landed a straight left-hand punch on
Sharkeys mouth. Up to this time there
were not more than half a dozen good
blows landed by either of the contest
ants.
In the sixth round Sharkey played for
his opponents stomach.
Very little boxing was done in the
seventh round They We're evidently re-
serving their strength for the final rally,
and when time was called Sharkey
rushed like a wild bull from his corner
at his opponent, and, swinging his right
he missed the fireman's head and stun
bled against a post. Greggains was
taken by surprise, and met Sharkey as
the latter settled himself for another
rush, and some sharp mitigating fol-
lowed until the timekeeper closed the
contest.
Referee Hoeman declared that the
men were so evenly matched that he
could do nothing but declare the contest
a draw.

which made 1t appear that the Senate

The Senate voted down the amend

James and Walton, the unseated SEN

of the unseated members. No one at
tempted to interfere with James and

Upon parliamentary point, the Re

was lost.

The session then adjourned.
1t is agreed that the Chairs ruling
that seventy must be present and vot-

now object to the presence of the un-
seated members, and no trouble is
