committed suicide yesterday afternoon by
shooting himself through the head, in his
room at 55fX Howard street
Lighthoid came to this City from Paris
few years..ago and opened shop on Ma
toma street, but Ill fortune followed him
and he moved to more humble quarters on
Howard street.
Business, however, did not greatly i'm
prove, and what money he had accumu-
lated before coming to this country rapidly
dwindled away. The only property he
had at the time of his death consisted of
a cheap tailor's outfit, a few books, which
ne called his library, and an assayer's out
fit. but he evidently had tired of selling
his property and living on the proceeds,
so he decided to kill himself.
When the body was searched at the
Morgue number of letters were found
which disclosed the fact that the suicide
had relatives living in New York.
"A number of Panama canal bonds were
also found ON the body, and it is very
probable that his loss through that specu-
iation was one Of the immediate causes of
his suicide.

BRAVES TO BANQUET.
Iroquois Club to Discuss "FamiIy Cor
porations''-The Coming Annual
State Conference.


The Iroquols Club held its regular
weekly meeting at Pythian Hall last night,
routine business only being transacted.
Louis Metzger, chairman of the committee
on annual banquet, made report. On
motion OF Mr.. Popper, Delmonico's was
unanimously agreed on. The banquet will
be given February %, and it is expected
that fully fifty braves from the interior
will be present. Governor Budd and other
prominent Democrats are expected.
Charles Wesley Reed of the literary

TO address the club two weeks hence, the
Monroe doctrine being the theme selected.
Mr.. Cahaniss will be allowed thirty min
utes' opening and ten minutes close the
members being allowed ten minutes in
which to reply.
The committee, consisting of Max Pop
per, John II. Hansen and George H.
Cabaniss, appointed at the last meeting to
inquire into the merits of the resolution
introduced by John Heenan relative to the
form alton of private corporations, offered
the following substitute:
WHEREAS, There is tendency on the part of
families holding vast property interests in CAL
norma, and particularly landed interests, to
IS,
the stock OF which is owned and controlled ex-
clusively by members of but one family; and
whereas, the manifest purpose and effect OF
each corporate organization is to consolidate
colossal fortunes in families for Indefinite
periods and without the power of alienation,
thereby perpetuating an aristocracy based ext
cluslvely upon wealth; and whereas, the said
purposes and results of the Family corporate
system are repugnant to the genius and.op-
posed to the best interests of our social and
political institutions;
ResOLUed, That the public good requires that
steps be promptly taken TO prevent by appro.
pirate legislation the further organization of
corporations OF the kind mentioned; and be it
further
RESOLVED, That committee of five be ap-
pointed by the chair with instructions to take
such action as they may think proper looking
to the presentation of the above subject TO the
next Legislature for action thereon.
Discussion of the substitute was post
poned until next meeting, when il is made
a special order for 8 o'clock.
The annual conference of the Irouuois
clubs of California will be held in San

THE COUNCIL.
Its Members VIII Be Selected for
Nomination by the DeaconS
This Afternoon.


Nomination by the Deacons
This Afternoon.
Only five of the deaeons will be present
at the meeting this afternoon in the First
Congregational Church to nominate the
churches which are to be invited to take
part in the council to investigate the re-
ports concerning the Rev. DR.. G. o.. Brown.
Those,who will attend are d. Gilbert Dex-
ter, ]. H. Barnard, J. ]. Vasconcellos, T.
II. Hatch and A. ]. Dewing. The other
three deacons are out of town. Thomas
Kerr is in Southern California seeking to
recover his health. L. B. Benchley is now
a resident of Los Angeles and 1. III. Morse
is in the East on private business.
There were meetings yesterday between
two or three of the deacons, but only
informal discussions took place; in fact.
nothing of definite character can be done
until today. AS the result of canvass
of the situation it is likely that not less
than ten churches will be dominated, and
as many as fifteen may receive letters-mis-
sive. With only one or two exceptions the
selections will be made from what is
known as the Bay District. 1t will be the
aim of the deacons to select such churches
as are in every sense representative and
inn partial. AS stated by Deacon Dexter.
lit IS not to be whitewashing council; -
Those which are selected at to-dav's
meeting will be nominated before the
members of the church on Wednesday
night. Then those which are so selected
will be sent letters missive inviting them
to take part in the council. These invita-
tlons will be submitted to each church on
the following Wednesday. when the re-
spective churches will decide whether or
not to accept the invitation. and will also
choose lay representative if it decides to
participate. Tie First Church will not be
represented in the council.
1t is generally admitted by the commit
tee, however, that DR.. Brown will be given
the privilege of obiecting to any particular
church, and will also be permitted to sug-
gest the name of any church he might
wish to participate in the council
Some question has arisen as to whether
the charges against Mrs. Stockton will be
heard by the approaching council. This
Will depend upon the action of the COM
mlttee which sends out the letters missive.
According to the laws of the church only
the matters specified in the letters-m -missive
can be taken up. Deacon Barnard has ex-
pressed himself as being opposed to con-
sidering more than one case at a time, Sc
that it is not probable that the Stockton
case will be included in the subject matter
of the letters-missive. Her case, it is also
stated, is matter fer the church alone to
decide.
