Jim Corbett played in Richmond. Va,
the other day. He was hit by pitched
ball while at the bat for Reading, the
ball striking him in the side with "a
loud thump. He good-naturedly took his
base, grimly smiling. Later in the game
he caught a thrown ball at first, and,
swinging around to put out Stuart.
Richmond's captain, unwittingly struck
him so hard that Stuart went 10 grass

NEW BEDFORD. Mass, Aug. IA
Although Anderson pitched winning
ball Friday afternoon, the players be-
hind him threw away the game with
blunders and errors. A very yellow
streak in the sixth. two costly errors
and two singles gave Newport a lead
which won the game. The local team
had no trouble hitting Foley safely at
least once in an inning, but after the

HEIR TO VAST ESTATES.
Remarkable Fortune of the De
la Montanya Family of
This City.
Has Inherited the Valuable and His.
toric Property of Hampton
Curt, England.

The De la Montanya family of this City
has won warm smile from the goddess
OF fortune, having recently fallen heir to
one of the finest properties in England.
Through the collateral heirship of Mrs.
de Ia Montanya the lady has inherited
the historical mansion known as Hampton
Court, Middlesex, England. She is a
great granddaughter of the late Lord
Compton. The village is located about
twelve miles from Hyde Park Corner and
on the north bank of the Thames River.
The court was originally erected by
Ca rdinal Wolsey in 1915, and nine years
la ter the builder presented it to Henry
VIII, and it became the Kings favorite
residence. The fine gardens, under Will
liam III, were extended to over forty
acres. The palace in 1641 was sold by Par
liza ament, and a little later it fell into the
hands of Oliver Cromwell. In later wears
the premises were occupied by reople of
rank who were in reduced circumstances
The De la Montanya family tree reaches
back many generations, and the historic
property now comes to the present own
ers through the Van Horn branch, of
which Lord Compton was a descendant.
Another piece of GOOD fortune also
comes to the DE la Montanyas During
the roundhead persecution large sum of
money was sent to Holland and deposited
in the banks there.
This, too. will be returned to the fam
lily. Mrs de la Montanya expects, as one
of the heirs of Anneke Jams. to realize a
large inheritance from her ancestor. Last
evening she -tated that after awhile she
will go to England and take possession of
her inheritance there, but as yet no def
mite plans have been formed. The large
local business of Mr.. de la Montanya will
be continued by his nephews.

BEFORE THE COUNCIL.
The Street Railroad Employees
Appeal to the Union
Men.
A Statement That the Sutro Line Will
Close if the Bill Becomes
Law.

The San Francisco Labor Council de-
liberated long and earnestly last evening
as to what action to take upon Sam
Braunhardt's pa cent streetcar bill now
before the Legislature. 1t was brought
about by Harry Knox, who is now an en-
ploye on the Sutro Electric Railway.
He stated that during the afternoon a
large number OF railroad hands on that
line had held NEE ting in the carhouse,
where the measure was discussed. Mr..
Sutro had stated, so Knox said, that if
the bill became law he will be obliged
to cease operating the road.
Knox stated that Mr.. Sutro said that
as it is he himself is obliged to pay many
of the bills for the operation of the road,
as it does not pay its own expenses.
For this there are several reasons. One
is that the road acce pts and issues a large
number of transfers to and from other
lines, which really means 211l cents for all
transfer passengers. The whole scent
passenger travel is very small indeed.
Knox asked that the Council instruct it's
representatives at Sacramento 20 do all
in their power TO get Braunhardt to with
draw the bill.
He apologized for making the request,
3
lied railroad employees, who dare not at
tempt to form labor union. However,
these men need help. Ii the bill be passed
il will mean cut in the raj road mems
wages from % to 30 cents day, and the
wages now paid are as low as the men can
stand. The Market-street combine, he
said. is not fighting the bill because its Of
ficials look upon the proposition as a cinch
bill.
Furthermore, if the bill passes, it will
give the com bine chance TO cut their
mems wages, which they have long de-
sired good excuse to do. Tney will also
take this as an excuse for refusing to is
sue transfers and thus make the people
pay two or perhaps three 2k-cent faxes
In this the iaborers who live on the out
skirts of the City will be the greatest suf-
ferers.
A resolution was introduced in accord.
ance with Knox's request, and after long
argument il was decided TO refer it to the
labor convention, which will meet next
Sunday.
Several letters were read from the Pa
ciic Coast Representatives at Washington,
promising 10 do all possible to preserve
the rights of sailors. One from Senator
Perkins was as follows:
am in receipt OF yours of January 26, with
resolutions relating TO the rights of seamen.
make use OF them as can in behalf of Ameri-
can sailors. Yours very truly,
GEORGE C. PERKINS.
The executive committee recommended
the passage of resolutions condemning NJ.
A. Gunst ior the manner in which he re-
ceived the comm iitee from the Interna-
tional Cigarmakers' Union.
The secretary was instructed to write to
the secretary of the Manufacturers and
Prod ucers' Association, assuring the latter
body of the hearty cooperation of the
council in the matter of the anti convict
made goods movement.

stance of Judge Wallace, occupied large
part of the afternoon. Asher was attornev
for Livingston Bros, who beca me insol-
vent some time ago, but were indicted for
perjury in having withheld certain assets
from their sworn statement. On their
trial few days ago they declared they
had not taken the oath, to which they
had subscribed, and the notary, having
since died, the prosecution fell.
Judge Wallace charged the attorney
with having connived at an imposition on
the court that constituted felony. He
was arrested and subsequently gave bail
in $4,000. He was given a hearing by the
Grand Jury and explained that he simply
introduced his clients to the notary, and
if they did not take the oath he knew
nothing of it. The jury returned no true
bill and instructed the District Attorney
to write statement of the facts TO Judge
Wallace.
The jury is looking into the case of c. P.
harris, stockbroker, who failed some time
ego. Mrs. NJ. n. Barckley, who suffered
losses through the failure and who has
been in pursuit of Harris ever since, is
agitating the prosecution.

fore this time.
Miss Wescott, one of the handsomest
girls In Oakland, was patent at the
County Hospital two months ago. While
there she evidently made a success of lay
ing siege to hearts. For little time she
was engaged to the baker at that institu-
ton, but when she returned TO her duties
as domestic in the home of Joseph Harris
the baker called once too often, took with
him purse and various articles of jew
elry, and is now in the penitentiary.
While Miss Wescott was suffering at the
hospital she also captured the affection of
the assistant doctor, and when deprived
of the attention of Baker Ray DR.. Marsh
had the premier call on iIrr love. He was
deeply infatuated with her, made her val
liable presents, proposed marriage and
was accepted, and few weeks ago took
Miss Wescott to Los Angeles, where they
were to be married. Before going he drew
the result OF three years savings from the
bank, and presented his fiancee with a dia.
mond ring and diamond pin.
After arriving in Los Angeles Miss
Wescott postponed the ceremony from
day to day, and the result of 1t all was
that last night DIR. Marsh told Chief Glass
tnat he had spent all his money, that his
valua bles were in the possession o. Miss
Wescott, who refused to restore them, ard
that she had added insult to injury by
telling him that she would not marry him
and had gone away.
DR.. Marsh asked the Chief if there was
not some way of pun sning the young
lady for her heartless conduct. MISS Wes-
colt was formerly employed by Joseph
Harris, trustee of the First Hebrew Con-
gregation, and he said to-day that there
never was better girl for housework than
Miss Wescott He said she was thor
oughly trustworthy till her beauty at
tracted the attention of the people at the
hospital, and after that she underwent q
great change.
DR.. Clark, the Superintendent of the
County Hospital, said to-day that he was
| not surprised at Marsh's misfortune.
There is no doubt" said he, that Miss
Wescott is very enticing and attractive
young woman, but l frequently warned
Marsh of what he might expect if he d I'd
not curb his infatuation for her. He paid
no attention to anybody's advice, and |
guess he is now sorry for II. He is the
son of wealthy West Indian planter and

upon by designing person such as Miss
Wescott, who has penchant for causing

The Valentine Box Contain ed at Least
One Package for Each, No Matter
How Poor.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANcIsco CALL,
908 Broadway, Feb. II

SO6 Broadway, FEB. II
There is a custom in the Oakland pub
lie schools regardin, st. Valentine day
that may cause pleasure to some, but GER
tainly brings disappointment and bitter
ness to others. This practice consists of
allowing the scholars TO have Valentine
box, wherein they may posit gifts for
their favorite classmates.
This afternoon the box at the Lafayette
School was opened, and many of the most
popular pupils received large mum bers OF
valentines, ranging in value from a nickel
to dollar, according 10 the financ al con-
dition OF their parents. While many were
thus handsomely RENE EN- bered, there were
several poorer children whose parents and
friends were not able to give them any,
thing so useless a. a valentine, and con-
sequently the sight OF their luckier class
mates caused them much disappoin tment.
Miss Tillie Lisson, a teacher in the
school, noticed the many little Woe begone
faces and decided that so far as she was
able they would ct least think they had
one friend. She called to her one of the
best lads in her class, gave him money
enough to go and purchase valentine or
each one that was not remem bered, and
after suitably addressing them quietly
placed them in the box. When 1T was
again opened every scholar in her class
had been remem bered, though they did
not know at the time who had helped to
bfnsh away their little tears.
1here has been a good deal of criticism
OF permitting Tins practice in the public
schoois, and in Vi W OF the many possible
unpleasant developments II would seem
Tlght TO have II discontinued In all the
scnoois there has been for some time a
feeilng that dividing line exists between
children whose fortunes in life vary, but
While this cannot be helped it is easv 10
avoid any such additional unpiecsantness
as is caused by the valentine box.
